First up, Carolina will take on Quinnipiac at 12 p.m. Saturday.
As for the men's tennis team, the No. 13 Tar Heels will also be hosting NCAA action at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center, but they'll serve it up Friday at 1 p.m. against William & Mary in round one.
The 21-10 Tar Heels will be hoping to bounce back from a tough loss to Virginia in the ACC Tournament semifinals.

Although surrounded by less hype and fanfare than their more famous basketball and football counterparts, UNC's spring sports teams excel at the highest level year in and year out. 2015 is shaping up to be no exception.
***Listen to the story***
It's the rackets and sticks that have been making the loudest noise in Chapel Hill these days.
Out on the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center courts, the Tar Heels are serving up a storm that is led by the ladies.
The No. 2 UNC women are fresh off an indoor national championship title and are now looking to sweep through the outdoor season. The Tar Heels are unblemished to date, sporting a 23-0 record overall and an 11-0 mark in ACC action.
Led by top 20 national singles players in sophomore duo Jamie Loeb and Hayley Carter, head coach Brian Kalbas' players are an imposing force to look at across the net.
Coach Kalbas recently eclipsed the 500-win mark in his career, but he credits the talent on the court for achieving that milestone.
"When you win that many matches, it's because you have good players. They play well and make you look good," Coach Kalbas says.
Loeb won an individual national title in her maiden season at Carolina, but has been met with more resistance in her second season. Tennis can be a streaky sport.
Coach Kalbas breaks down the strategy in one of Loeb's most recent tough battles.
"Anytime the girl hit a really good shot, Jamie would cut it off and force her to hit another great shot. The girl wasn't coming to the net very much. If Jamie would handle her pace, push her back and get on the offense herself, which she started to do in the second and third set – it was really impressive," Coach Kalbas says.
As for the Tar Heel men, they've gone on more of an up-and-down ride this spring. Saddled with a 16-8 record and 5-3 mark in league play, UNC's No. 2 singles player Ronnie Schneider says the key to postseason success will be getting all the Tar Heels back fully healthy.
"Our health is probably the most important thing for our team right now. When we put guys on the court, they're playing well. It's just that we've got to get our top six guys healthy. If we can get healthy now, by the time those two tournaments [ACC and NCAA] hit, we'll be playing our best tennis," Schneider says.
Out on the lacrosse field, head coach Joe Breschi has to be pleased with his men's team thus far. The Tar Heels check in at No. 4 in the national polls and are coming off an impressive road win over No. 6 Virginia in Charlottesville.
Senior Jimmy Bitter, who scored two goals in the win over the Wahoos, says the composure of goalkeeper Kieran Burke gives UNC added confidence.
"Kieran Burke is an amazing goalie. No matter what point in the game it is, he's always level-headed," Bitter says.
Not to be outdone, the Tar Heel women's lacrosse team is ranked No. 2 nationally and in search of a national title of their own this spring.
In UNC's most recent win over fellow top-ten member Louisville, Molly Hendrick netted a career-high five goals to spur on the 18-5 rout of the Cardinals.
So the trees and bushes aren't the only thing blossoming around Chapel Hill right now – so too are the national championship aspirations of Tar Heels on the tennis courts and lacrosse fields.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/tar-heel-tennis-lacrosse-blossoming-this-spring/
All eyes are generally fixed on the basketball hardwood this time of year in Chapel Hill, but a litany of other top-notch UNC sports programs are gearing up for their own chances at ACC and national glory.
***Listen to the story***
The No. 4 UNC women's tennis team started off its dual match campaign with a pair of victories over in-state foes.
Last weekend, the Tar Heels decisively served past both Elon and Appalachian State, dropping only one match in the process.
The Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center will play host to one of the nation's top players. Sophomore Jamie Loeb, currently ranked No. 8 in the nation in singles, spent much of her freshman year sitting atop the rankings after a superb 53-4 season individually.
After falling just short of a national championship in Athens, Georgia a year ago, the Tar Heels, armed with a deep and talented lineup that also includes No. 22 Caroline Price and No. 31 Hayley Carter, could go one better in 2015.
Head coach Brian Kalbas' Carolina squad will return to action on Jan. 24-25 to face Minnesota and Boston College or LSU.
As for their male counterparts, they'll be aiming for big things this year as well. The Tar Heel men start off their campaign in the No. 6 position nationally in the preseason rankings released just last week.
UNC returns five starters from last year's record-breaking team that reached the NCAA quarterfinals. In addition, Carolina also welcomes back senior Esben Hess-Oleson, who sat out last season with an injury, but made significant contributions in previous years.
The Tar Heels return to the courts to open their regular season with home doubleheaders on Jan. 16 and 19.
On the lacrosse field, UNC will yet again be among the nation's best.
The women's team begins the year No. 2 in the preseason polls and leads a loaded field in the ACC with five league schools represented in the top seven of the rankings.
With a national championship the goal, it appears the Tar Heels may actually have the talent to do it, with ten UNC women earning spots on the 2015 Face-Off Yearbook preseason All-America team, published by Inside Lacrosse.
As for the men's lacrosse squad, they check in a few notches lower than the women, but not by much. The Tar Heels were voted as the sixth-best team in the NCAA by the nation's coaches.
But Carolina will get its chance to prove if it should be placed higher with games against all of the top five-ranked teams looming on its schedule.
Coach Joe Breschi's team opens its season Feb. 7 at home against Furman.
Although overshadowed by their more famous classmates on the basketball court, at a place like UNC, every sports program seemingly shares the same collective goal – to win a national championship.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/overshadowed-spring-sports-share-lofty-goals/
With the UNC football team enjoying a bye week this past weekend, other fall sports teams took center stage and experienced different results.
UNC men's basketball coach Roy Williams says his team's hard work in practice paid off last Friday night against Belmont Abbey.
***Listen to this story***
"Well we're much more gifted naturally than that team was and we've been working pretty doggone hard in practice. We've been getting after them a little bit and I thought in the first couple minutes we weren't really in to it defensively and then we were really good defensively," Coach Williams says.
Although Coach Williams was pleased with his team's 112-34 win, he did see some room for improvement.
"We look like a Model-T Ford out there compared to how I want them to run. That's the reason I took those guys out, we had Nate (Britt) and Joel (James) out there and they looked like pedestrians that's one of the reasons I jumped on them out there. We need to run harder, we need to get out big guys running more. It's no where near where I want it to be but I think we're going to get there," Coach Williams says.
Sophomore forward Isaiah Hicks says the Tar Heels keep the atmosphere light in the locker room.
"(The team) is always together in the locker room playing games like ping-pong. And then you have Joel (James) and Kennedy (Meeks) who are big goof-balls who keep the team laughing and together," Hicks says.
Ping-pong is one of the team's favorite ways to stay loose in the locker room but even in ping-pong the Tar Heels keep it competitive
"Marcus…J.P….we have tiers so tier one would be Marcus (Paige), J.P. (Tokoto) and Hoots (Coach Eric Hoots), that's it," Hicks says.
UNC volleyball head coach Joe Sagula was once again impressed by his team's effort following a 3-0 victory over Virginia Tech Sunday.
"We got a lot of weapons and were able to use them all tonight," Coach Sagula says.
UNC sophomore tennis player Brayden Schnur captured the USTA/ITA National Indoor Collegiate Championships Sunday with a 7-5, 7-6 win over Vanderbilt's Gonzales Austin.
But not all Tar Heel athletes tasted success over the weekend.
The UNC women's soccer team lost 2-0 to Virginia in the ACC Tournament semi-finals Friday night
The men's soccer team lasted only two days longer as they fell 1-0 to Louisville in the ACC Tournament quarterfinals on Sunday. Following the loss, senior forward Andy Craven says he realizes the regular season is over and that there are things to address before NCAA tournament play begins,
"If anything it was a good indication of where we need to be and what we need to work towards and to know that we haven't arrived and we haven't peaked yet. As many goals we've scored it doesn't matter, it's playoffs now. It's important to maintain the good stuff we've done in the season and minimize the bad stuff," Craven says.
Although not every Tar Heel was victorious over the weekend, the ultimate prize of a national championship is still within reach.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/mixed-bag-tar-heels-sports-weekend/
Carolina men's tennis player Brayden Schnur will be taking on the likes of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic this week in Toronto.
Schnur, a sophomore at UNC, qualified for the Rogers Cup, an ATP masters series event, over the weekend with a pair of commanding straight-set wins over Japan's Yuichi Sugita and Australia's Matthew Ebden. The latter is ranked inside the top 100 in the world.
Schnur is currently ranked No. 609 in the ATP rankings, but that's sure to change following the Rogers Cup.
Being a Canadian, himself, Schnur's unlikely heroics in his home country are made all the more special. He says his dream is to play the game full-time professionally.
The 19-year-old enrolled at UNC in January and made quite a splash in his freshman campaign for the Tar Heels, who were knocked out in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals.
Schnur will take on Italy's Andrea Seppi, ranked No. 48 in the world, in the opening round. If Schnur is able to get past the crafty Italian, he could face a potential second-round meeting with American No. 1 and Greensboro native John Isner.
You can follow Schnur's progress in the Rogers Cup at rogerscup.com.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/tar-heel-brayden-schnur-qualifies-atps-rogers-cup/
Former North Carolina men's tennis player Nicholas Monroe claimed a 6-3, 7-5 first round victory over Slovak Martin Klizan and Austrian Dominic Thiem alongside his doubles partner Simon Stadler Tuesday at the French Open in Paris.
The Chapel Hill resident and 2004 graduate of the University will now face the thirteenth-seeded pair of Dutchman Jean-Julian Rojer and Romanian Horia Tecau in the second round along with his playing partner.
Monroe turned professional in 2004 following graduation and is currently ranked 62 in the doubles world rankings.
The 32-year-old snagged his first ATP title in his career with Stadler at the 2013 Swedish Open.
While at UNC, Monroe earned All-American recognition and was named Carolina's Senior Male Student-Athlete of the Year in 2004.
You can follow Monroe's up-to-the-minute progress in the second grand slam of the year at rolandgarros.com.http://chapelboro.com/sports/professional/former-unc-american-nicholas-monroe-making-moves-paris/
The seventh-ranked North Carolina men's tennis team fell to second-ranked Oklahoma 4-2 Sunday night in the NCAA Tournament quarterfinals in Athens, Georgia.
The Tar Heels finished at 27-6 overall on the season, a school record for victories. The Sooners improved to 27-3 on the year and advanced to play in the semifinals Monday.
Carolina got off to a good start by grabbing the doubles point. No. 1 singles player Brayden Schnur also recorded an upset win in three tight sets over the fifth-ranked singles player in the country.
But ultimately, the Sooners proved too tough on the other singles courts. Oklahoma boasts four players ranked inside the top 55 in the national rankings.
Next up for the Tar Heels comes some individual competition. Carolina will be represented in the NCAA singles and doubles Championships, starting Wednesday. A pair of UNC freshmen, Brayden Schnur and Ronnie Schneider, will play in the singles tournament while Schnur will team with sophomore Brett Clark in the doubles tournament, due to begin on Thursday
The North Carolina men's and women's tennis teams are both bound for Athens, Georgia for Sweet Sixteen action in the NCAA Tournament.
The seventh-ranked men, 26-5 on the season, advanced to the final sixteen with a 4-1 victory over South Carolina Sunday at Chapel Hill's Cone-Kenfield Center. Carolina will face a stern test in Athens in the form of the eighth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs on Friday.
On their home courts, the Bulldogs will be an even tougher hurdle for Head Coach Sam Paul's squad. Carolina will lean heavily two freshmen. Brayden Schnur, from Ontario, and Ronnie Schneider, from Indiana, were recently honored by the International Tennis Association.
Schnur was named ITA Carolina Region Rookie Player of the Year while Schneider was tapped as the ITA Carolina Region to Watch. Both are now eligible for national ITA awards.
The Tar Heel men are 7-11 all-time against the Bulldogs.
As for the women, the seventh-seeded Tar Heels, 26-5 on the season, booked their ticket to the Sweet Sixteen with a dominating 4-0 win over Georgia State last Saturday.
UNC now faces No. 10 Texas A&M Thursday on the courts of Athens.
As always, Carolina will depend on the reliability of the No.1 overall singles player in the nation, Jamie Loeb, and her fifth-ranked teammate, Hayley Carter.
Head Coach Brian Kalbas, however, says the Tar Heels will need to rely on their depth to ultimately progress further in the postseason.
"We've been really reliant on our top two players. Our two freshmen have been outstanding. For us to make a deep run in the NCAA Tournament, we're going to need other players to step up," Coach Kalbas says.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/athens-bound-tar-heel-tennis-sweet-sixteen-play/
The UNC men's tennis team beat South Carolina 4-1 on Sunday in Chapel Hill to move on to the NCAA Sweet 16.
With the win, the Tar Heels improved to 26-5 on the year, breaking the all-time team record for wins in a season set back in 1992 and tied in 2006. This marks Carolina's eighth appearance in the Sweet Sixteen.
The seventh-ranked Tar Heels now head to Athens, Georgia, where they'll face No. 8 Georgia on Friday at 4:00 p.m. The tenth-seeded Bulldogs are the host school for the rest of the tournament; they knocked UNC out of the tournament in 2012, the last time Carolina reached the Sweet Sixteen.
Elsewhere, the third-seeded UNC women's lacrosse team advanced to the NCAA quarterfinals with a 10-8 win over Georgetown on Sunday at Fetzer Field. Abbey Friend scored four goals to lead the way; she now has 195 goals in her career, surpassing the old school record of 192 set by Corey Donohoe.
Carolina will face Virginia in the quarterfinals next Saturday, also at Fetzer Field. The No. 11 Cavaliers reached the quarters with a 13-11 win over Princeton on Sunday.http://chapelboro.com/sports/unc-sports/unc-mens-tennis-womens-lax-advance-ncaas/

RIBA to open three new international chapters
The new chapters will provide greater support to its 4,300 members around the world.
It is understood that the RIBA hopes to foster better links with UK firms and local architects working in the various countries.
Singapore will be the first to open later this year and will be followed by the Hong Kong and Dubai-based chapters in 2009.
RIBA chief executive Richard Hastilow said: 'The development of these new chapters should have a two-way benefit – providing better support to our members living and working around the world, but also learning from their experience to inform the RIBA's contribution to major international issues such as climate change and the growth of cities.
'For this next step, we are focusing on countries where we have a significant core of members and good links with the national institutes and other strong partners.'

17-Year-Old American Sentenced to Eleven Years In Prison For Tweets Supporting IS
The account regularly posted positive tweets about ISIS and included tutorials on how to send money to them by using Bitcoin.
The account regularly posted positive tweets about ISIS and included tutorials on how to send money to them by using Bitcoin.
You can claim your retweets aren't endorsements, but if you're retweeting known terrorists on a regular basis, it may just be used that as evidence to arrest you.
It's no secret that American businesses and the government are under constant attack from hackers, but a new audit says that America is even less prepared to defend itself than everyone thought.
A disgraced lawyer obsessed with a kooky theory that the government tracked him by sending secret rays into his house... ends up discovering a secret government mobile phone tracking programme. Sounds like bizarre noir, right? But it's true.
The FBI's been using aircraft for decades, but these new planes use surveillance equipment designed for warfare and capable of tracking innocent citizens. That's bad.
When an airport security researcher tweeted about his ability to hack the in-cabin control systems, he probably wasn't expecting to be detained. There are some jokes the FBI doesn't find funny.
If a criminal threatens to reveal information about the Stingrays, the FBI makes the police dismiss any criminal charges.
We don't know much about it, but now that the US Department of Justice is pushing for policy changes that'll allow the FBI to install spyware on computers even more easily, it's time to take a closer look.
It's hard to believe this isn't all part of a twisted TV plot.
US federal officers Carl Mark Force IV and Shaun Bridges are accused of wire fraud and money laundering.
The US Justice Department's recent audit of the FBI's drone programme revealed something rather surprising: the FBI drone pilot team is literally just two people sitting in a room.
The so-called Islamic State has a new terrorism tactic: doxing US Soldiers. The group's 'Hacking Division' is reportedly gathering info on more than 100 US servicemen for reasons not entirely clear.
The FBI is going to remarkable lengths to hide information about its surveillance programme that intercepts calls and texts with equipment called Stingrays.
Digital data and email threads of three WikiLeaks' staff were divulged when warrants were served in March 2012.
The US had been keeping a close eye on North Korean computer systems for years before the Sony hack.

SCOOP HD: Breaking Down The Mystery Commit
SoonerScoop.com Staff
Related Links:
Talk about it in The Main Board
With the release of Friday's 'Sooner Scoop' word got out early Friday afternoon that Oklahoma was back involved with one-time prime target Dakota Austin of Lancaster, Texas. The 5-foot-10, 170-pound defensive back from the same program that produced Sooners Demontre Hurst and Quentin Hayes among many others would send Austin to Norman for an official visit on the final week before the class of 2013's National Signing Day - Feb. 6.
Just 24 hours later word got out that Oklahoma had elected to make an official scholarship offer to Austin and that it was immediately accepted by the talented cornerback who held offers from Nevada, UNLV, Indiana, Texas Tech, Tulsa, and Utah State among many others.
"Yes sir, he committed," said Lancaster recruiting coordinator Joey Foster.
The offer may have come late but many thought that it was a possibility last summer when Austin put on an impressive performance during Oklahoma's annual early June summer camp.
SoonerScoop.com was on hand with SCOOPHD video cameras and brings you some exclusive footage of Oklahoma's No. 22 commitment in the 2013 class.

We'll have much more from Austin, and during Oklahoma's junior day through the next 24 hours.

The Experiences of Women with AIDS Who Have Received Occupational Therapy Intervention in a Home Health Care Setting
Meyers, Ruth A. M., British Journal of Occupational Therapy
The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences of women living with AIDS, and to explore the nature and effectiveness of occupational therapy interventions, which they received in their homes. By describing the effectiveness of those interventions in helping women with AIDS to engage in those life role activities that are important to them, the study intended to contribute to the occupational therapy knowledge base and, in so doing, ultimately to improve the quality of services occupational therapists may provide to women with AIDS.
This qualitative study was conducted in the form of individual in-depth guided interviews with six women with AIDS who had received occupational therapy in their homes as part of a Home Health programme. The research focused on examining two broad aspects of the women's experience: the Experience of Having AIDS and the Experience of Having Occupational Therapy. Utilising a constant-comparative method, and employing inductive reasoning processes, eight major themes within the two categories were identified. Five themes reflected the Experience of Having AIDS: the experience of having AIDS; What is meaningful? How has what is meaningful changed?; How has the ability to do what is meaningful changed? …

As the cliché goes, "A conservative is a liberal whose been mugged by reality." Like most clichés, this one exposes a larger truth. Namely, people often base their views on their fantasies of how the world should be, rather than on the reality of how the world actually is.
Following this line, the September 11, 2001 attacks can be seen as a large-scale mugging. After the attacks, the same American people that had ignored the threat of totalitarian Islam since the Iranian revolution first categorized the US as the Great Satan back in 1979, acknowledged the danger and recognized it was at war. The overwhelming majority of Americans supported President George W. Bush when he said that the US would fight to destroy all global terror organizations and take down the regimes that sponsor them.
But even before the fires were put out in Lower Manhattan, voices from two quarters were already claiming that the US should stay in Dreamland. First, there were the radical leftists like Susan Sontag and Michael Moore who wrapped themselves in the banner of the human rights of the wretched of the Earth. They claimed that al-Qaida was simply giving Americans their comeuppance for dominating the world through McDonalds and Levis.
Next there were people like former presidents Carter and Bush's national security advisers Zbigniew Brzezinski and Brent Scowcroft, assorted university professors, and CIA analysts who wrapped themselves in the banner of realism. They claimed that American support for Israel is what brought the Islamic world to hate the country and kill thousands of its citizens by flying hijacked airplanes into buildings.
In both cases, the fantasists ignored completely Osama bin Laden's declarations that his goal is to conquer the world in the name of Islam. They disregarded the political and cultural milieus marked by inexhaustible envy towards the West and the US that gave rise to al-Qaida and its sister organizations. Rather than acknowledge the reality of real war with real enemies, both camps of fantasists argued that instead of slaying these twin dragons, the US should appease them by serving them Israel for lunch.
These voices were relegated to the margins of public debate until the lead up to the 2004 presidential elections. Ahead of those elections, backed by George Soros's financial muscle, the fantasists had an enormous impact of the debate in the Democratic Party. Politicians who until then had supported the war generally, and in Iraq particularly, clamored to decry it.

'The Avengers' will shoot from April to September next year in New Mexico in what will be the state's biggest ever movie.
Joss Whedon's 'The Avengers' will begin shooting in April 2011.
The Marvel Studios project - which will feature Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans and Scarlett Johansson and was originally scheduled to lens in February - has already entered pre-production and will undergo principal photography from April until September in New Mexico.
It will be the biggest feature film to have been shot in the southern US state to date, Variety reports.
New York and Michigan will also be used to shoot the action adventure movie.
Joss has previously claimed there is an excellent "energy" between all of the film's big name-stars because they are all "enjoying" The Script.
He said: "The energy is extraordinary. This is an extremely collaborative, supportive intelligent cast; they're very sweet.
"They're not challenging each other, they're just enjoying each other and ready to get into it. And that's an exciting atmosphere.
"I even said, 'Don't do it if we can't make The Deal with these actors.' I desperately wanted this exact crew for the movie."
'The Avengers' is due for release in 2012.

- Hannah Montana: The Movie
- Production year: 2009
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): U
- Runtime: 102 mins
- Directors: Peter Chelsom
- Cast: Adam Gregory, Billy Ray Cyrus, Emily Osment, Jason Earles, Miley Cyrus, Mitchel Musso, Moises Arias
This latest movie packaging of the Disney Channel's teen singing star has Miley Cyrus returning to her childhood roots in rural Tennessee accompanied by her real-life country singer dad, Billy Ray Cyrus. There, she rediscovers the simple life and forswears the consumerism of Rodeo Drive, the producers thus having their apple pie and eating it. The conceit is that no one in folksy Crowley Corners knows that Miley's become world famous as Hannah Montana, so she has to keep switching identities, looking, when in her blonde wig, disconcertingly like a young Val Kilmer. The former RSC actor Peter Chelsom brought me much pleasure with his 1991 directorial feature debut, Hear My Song. I don't really think I was part of the demographic he had in mind when he signed up for Hannah Montana.

Can Tech Ruin the Kim Pham Murder Trial?
By Charles Lam
According to Martin, diversity will turn Southern California into "Beirut in 10 years." After making that prediction, he stole a page from the plot of The Turner Diaries, the white-supremacist novel that envisions a race war in America. (The book was a favorite of Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.) "We're going to have an enclave of Muslims here," Martin declared, pointing at an imaginary map, "an enclave of radical Hispanics here, an enclave of blacks here—and everyone will be fighting for what should have been voted for. But there will no longer be votes; there will be bullets."
That chilling image didn't seem to bother CCIR's membership, which cheered Martin for more. But Martin had already run out of breath, and after answering a few questions from the crowd, he yielded to Prince, who had finally materialized with two blazer-adorned aides.
Prince apologized for his subdued voice—he was sick, he said, and almost had to cancel the appearance. He promised to speak "as long as my voice holds out." Then he compared himself to George Washington crossing the Delaware to attack the Hessians in 1776. Washington was sick that day, too, Prince explained, giggling deliriously.
Biting his lip, Prince suddenly regained his senses.
"Are there any press people here tonight?" he asked.
The lone Latina in the crowd raised her hand and quickly identified herself as Minerva Canto, an Orange County Registerreporter. Prince told Canto that he didn't like the coverage he'd received in the Register and added that he wouldn't utter another word until she left the room. Shortly after she exited the building to jeers and catcalls from the crowd, I identified myself as an OC Weekly reporter. I might as well have said I worked for The Revolutionary Worker.
"Oh, my God!" one woman exclaimed with a genuine look of horror on her face.
"You're kidding!" someone else said, grinning hopefully.
As I walked out of the building, a red-faced CCIR member leaned out the door and shouted after me.
"Hey!" he yelled. "Go tell your buddy Stalin that we said, 'Howdy!'"

This site is more a museum of me, my posts like exhibits behind panes of glass.
Sifting through my digital detritus
some rare moments of light
while others
speak only
of the weight
I wish to escape
Just because I follow you on X, Doesn't mean I'll follow you on Y or Z. If my internet is composed of many rooms, Why on earth would I want the same people in each one?
I publish something on a blog when I have something to say, when a point can be made. I'm quiet otherwise. But real life happens in between status updates, doesn't it? The mundane and uneventful, the low points, the days I feel ugly and inadequate — I wait until it all passes, until something crystallizes from the buildup. So I'm here to comment on what feels like nothing in particular: the ebbs and flows, the in-between, the bits that add up to create the plot points of my life. That's the thing about publishing on high notes — on announcing news or our successes across our social networks. The lapse between one Big Moment and the next can seem long and frustrating, and because I continue to conflate writing with publishing, I tell myself there's nothing to be said until then.
What we post in these moments of proclamation on a site like Facebook is a byproduct, a projection. Instead, life happens between status updates.
Then I opened Instagram, ran a filter over it, and posted it — to send it off into the world to be liked and viewed for its moment of glory, and to shortly after join the stream of other Instagrams disappearing into our Internet wasteland.
I think of the expiration dates we stamp on produce at the supermarket. How when we place items on shelves, we instantly date their freshness. I think about tweets in the same way: once unleashed for all to see, how long can they sit before they're irrelevant? Before they're kicked out of the conversation of now?
Read Later. I'm unsure what this means now. It's become less of an action, and now some kind of blessed, magical place. An ideal state far in the horizon, to where I put stories and ideas and information for me to consume and synthesize to make myself a better, more informed person.
Sometimes I envision my Twitter feed as rushing water: my presence is a dam, and each tweet is debris making its way downstream. It's now a challenge to let information simply flow—to let tweets swim by without me seeing or interacting with them.

Check these out, too...
The American Cancer Society announced in the last few days
that melanoma rates have jumped 72 percent in the last decade—a statistic for
which they blame the increase in tanning bed use.
Currently, NY prohibits children ages 14 and under from
using tanning beds and requires minors between the ages of 14 and 18 to have
written parental consent, though officials worry this mandate it not being
enforced. While some lawmakers think it's up to parents to control their kids,
others believe a blanket ban on tanning for the under-18 crowd is simply good
public health policy. A similar law has been proposed in New Jersey and others
are in place in California and Vermont.
What do you think of this possible tanning bed
ban? Do you use tanning beds to get your summer glow on?

Rocket Lawyer offers free legal help and information on a wide variety of topics, including business formation, estate planning, family issues, and many more.
Driver's Licenses
If you don't have a driver's license yet, your state's DMV may ask you to sign up for a driver's education course. Once you've learned the rules of the road, apply for a permit at the local DMV, where you'll also be asked to take a test based on the DMV driver's handbook. After that and a little driver training, your wallet will soon be home to a brand new driver's license.
Most state DMV departments require driver's license renewals every few years. Some states allow you to renew online, but occasionally a DMV visit is necessary to update your photo or if your name changes. In these cases, you'll want to make sure you have any required paperwork in order to verify your identity and citizenship. If your state asks you to retake your driving tests, it's wise to stay current on the DMV driver's handbook.
Below you'll find some articles with more information about applying for and renewing driver's licenses. If you hit any snags along the way and need professional help, just let us know and we'll find a lawyer for you.

The Geminids are known for producing up to 60 multi-coloured meteors per hour at their peak, which usually occurs around 14 December, although some meteors may be visible up until the 19th.
Comments amateur astronomer Mark Wright, Founder of Chameleon Worldwide, a travel company which currently has a group out in Morocco to witness the meteor shower from the desert: "The radiant point for this shower will be in the constellation Gemini. This year the new moon will guarantee a dark sky for what should be an awesome show. The best viewing is usually to the east after midnight from a dark location.
"But the very best place to see the Geminids are from the desert, under the crystal clear skies of Jordan and Morocco.
"These trips are increasingly popular so if anyone is thinking about joining one of our groups in 2013, they need to contact us now. We will also be organising some trips to Uganda, to witness the total eclipse, combining the holiday with a chance to enjoy the country's fascinating culture and wildlife, in particular the famous Mountain Gorillas."

Gap Year in India
India is a fantastic place to take a Gap Year. It offers a wealth of opportunity for things to do, places to go and sights to see. It's a great place to go on a tight budget as living costs are low and you can get a lot for your money. Taking a gap year in India also offers you the chance to do something worthwhile as there are plenty of opportunities for gap year volunteering in India. Take your gap year in India and you will have the experience of a life time!
Program Types
There are many volunteering opportunities in India, from English teaching to medical work and environmental conservation to community development. You can volunteer with local charities and NGO's in India, such as Mother Theresa's Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata or with global organizations such as UK or US charities. When choosing who to volunteer with, do some research and make sure that what you choose is ethical, worthwhile, sustainable, and that it is REAL volunteering. Volunteering is the best way to see the real India, to learn and begin to understand the culture, customs and people.
Traveling through India offers the opportunity to see beautiful cities, incredible landscapes, historical temples and colorful festivals. Of course don't miss the iconic Taj Mahal in Agra, the Golden Triangle in Rajasthan, and the chance to glimpse Everest from Darjeeling. Take a ride on the famous Darjeeling Toy Train, visit the bustling cities of Bangalore and Mumbai for shopping, or cruise peacefully down the Keralan Backwaters. Traveling by train across the country is very easy, accessible and cheap. For example, a train journey from Siliguri in the North, to Bangalore in the South costs (roughly) only PS5 (it does take three days though)! Driving is not advisable - once you go there and experience the roads you'll understand why!
Adventure Travel
For those with an adventurous streak, there are plenty of things to do in India. You can camel trek through the desert of Rajasthan, look out for Bengal Tigers in Ranthambore National Park or trek through the mountains of Himachal Pradesh. There is something for everyone, whatever thrill you seek, and you'll bring back so many stories to tell in years to come.
Planning Your Trip
When planning a gap year in India it is a good idea to get a rough idea of what you want to do before you leave your home country. Do some research on the Internet, get a good guide book, and make some plans. This way you will you'll be able to set yourself targets, a budget and a time scale, although of course it is advisable to be as flexible as you can when you get there! Think about what you want to get out of your gap year in India. Do you want to volunteer and - "give something back" - or just explore a new country? Do you want to learn new skills? Are you looking to learn the language or need experience in a particular field, such as teaching? When booking any trips or packages, check you are using a reputable company and do some research, the advice may be that it is a better to book when you actually get there.
If you're looking to do some gap year volunteering, again, make sure you are going through an organization that has a good reputation, can provide you with alumni to contact who can tell you what it's really like, and most importantly look for value for money. For example volunteering with a charity will ensure that the money you pay is going back into the organization to make sure the project you volunteer on is safe, secure and worthwhile. Make sure your volunteering contributions will truly benefit the local community.
Visas For India
What you are going to do on your Gap Year in India will determine what type of visa you need. You are required to fill in an online application form before submitting your application either by post or in person to obtain your visa. Check with your government's official Indian Embassy or High Commission to obtain information about the type of visa you need, or visit VISA HQ
Cost of Living in India
You can live in India quite cheaply as the cost of living is relatively low, but budget hotels can have quite low standards. When deciding where to stay in India it is good idea to check your guide-book or take advice from others who have visited. If you take local advice on where to eat and where to find the best bargains, then your money should go a long way!
Culture and Etiquette in India
India is a diverse and vibrant country, full of festivals, culture and customs. It is a multilingual and multiethnic society. The four most prevalent religions are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, and Sikhism, and the official language of India is Hindi.
Indians have a variety of cultures and customs. In India hierarchy and social order are highly valued. For example, you would always greet the eldest person or most senior person in the family first. Indians are very respectful of their elders and have very extensive and close family relationships.
Health and Safety in India
India has a good public transport system in the main cities and an extensive rail network, making it a relatively safe to travel in. It is a good idea to travel in groups, and not advisable for young women to travel alone where possible. Be aware of your possessions at all times, keep your wits about you and keep alert.
At first you may be shocked to see such things as extreme poverty living side by side with extreme wealth. The best way to deal with this is to keep an open mind and to take everything as it comes. Be patient, adaptable, and do not judge those around you. You will soon get used to the way things work and be able to adapt to living in India. More in depth travel advice can be found on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website.
Tap water is generally unsafe to drink in India so you will need to drink bottled water only. Several parts of India are Malaria risk areas so you will need to take adequate anti-malaria tablets if you are going to these parts. Check with your GP or Travel Nurse before departure to get advice on this, as well as advice on inoculations as you will most likely need quite a few!

Smoke Alarm Safety
BSO Fire Rescue reminds you that smoke alarms can save your life, but only if they're used and maintained properly:
- Test your smoke alarm monthly by pushing the test button provided on the smoke alarm. If it's not working properly, change the batteries and test it again. If it's still not working, replace it with a new smoke alarm.
- Make certain that smoke alarms are installed outside the door of each bedroom in your home. Modern building codes in most municipalities require this placement, but older homes may have been built without smoke alarms.
- Replace the batteries in the smoke alarm with new alkaline batteries twice a year. BSO Fire Rescue recommends you do so each time you change your clocks for Standard Time and Daylight Savings Time, once the in the spring and once in the fall. Just remember the phrase "change your clocks, change your batteries."

From the time Chris Kuper became a starting right guard, he has blocked for a Broncos team that has passed so much, it often passed on first-down rushing attempts.
As virtually every offensive lineman prefers the aggression of run blocking versus than comparatively passive approach to pass protection, Kuper is pleased that John Fox is his new coach.
"Even when Mike (Shanahan) was here and Jay (Cutler) started playing we threw the heck out of the ball," Kuper said this week following a players' workout in south Denver. "Running the ball will be great."
Josh McDaniels' bashers might be surprised to know the 2008 Broncos under Shanahan and quarterback Cutler threw the ball more (62 percent of total plays) than McDaniels and quarterback Kyle Orton did (58 percent) in 2009-10.
Either way, the Broncos had gone away from a running game that was once so vaunted it led the NFL from 1995-2007 in virtually every rushing statistic.
Whether the Broncos can improve their running game under Fox is still to be determined. But it's a cinch they'll try.
While coaching Carolina in 2008-09, Fox's offense was 54 percent run; 46 percent pass. Even with the Panthers frequently trailing during a 2-14 season in 2010, they only attempted 56 more passes than runs.
Kuper, who started 11 games in 2007 at left guard before switching to the right side in 2008, and his blocking mates can plan on tightening up those shoulder pads and chin straps in 2011. The Broncos figure to run the ball at least 15 percent more than they did in the past three years.
And, if the raw, passing Tim Tebow becomes the starting quarterback, don't be surprised if the Broncos run two out of every three plays.
The team's unsettled quarterback situation has put the rest of the players in an awkward position. Orton is the incumbent starter. But it doesn't take Curly Lambeau-like genius to understand the Broncos will eventually have to find out whether Tebow can become a full-time quarterback before the team can move forward.
Kuper is old-school. He's blocked for Orton the past two seasons and he doesn't surrender loyalty easily.
"I don't know what's going to happen there," Kuper said. "There's all kinds of rumors that we might trade Kyle, things like that. But we like Kyle. He played well last year and I think he's proved he's a starter in this league."
With NFL owners and players negotiating at a feverish pace with hopes a new collective bargaining agreement can be reached by this time next week, the Broncos' offensive linemen aren't sure which quarterback they will be blocking for, or which running back. Fox has said that signing a running back is the team's No. 1 priority in free agency.
Whoever handles the football, the blockers will be ready. At one Loren Landow-led conditioning workout for all local NFL players this week, 10 Broncos participated. Six were offensive linemen.
That's been typical of the locked out offseason in Denver.
"We O-linemen tend to stick together, anyway," Kuper said. "Most of us live around here. The climate here is great. We like to train in altitude.
"We're excited. I've met with Coach Fox, and obviously he knows what he's doing. He's been doing this a long time. I've talked to a lot of players from Carolina and they all say he's a great coach."
A run-oriented coach.

Fox on the run
A comparison of the Broncos' rushing totals (with league rank in parentheses) to the John Fox-coached Carolina Panthers the past three seasons suggests Denver running backs will be more prominent this year now that Fox is the coach:
2010 Carries Yds/Carry Yds/Game
Carolina 428 (15) 4.3 (12) 115.4 (13)
Denver 398 (27) 3.9 (24) 96.5 (26)
Carolina 525 (2) 4.8 (3) 156.1 (3)
Denver 440 (14) 4.2 (17) 114.8 (18)
Carolina 504 (6) 4.8 (2) 152.3 (3)
Denver 387 (28) 4.8 (3) 116.4 (12)

Kate Middleton, Prince William Dance, Wear Grass Skirts With Tribes in Tuvalu
So you think you can dance, William and Kate?
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge definitely put their topless photo woes out of sight and mind on the South Pacific island of Tuvalu on Tuesday -- donning colorful grass skirts and shaking their hips to the rhythm with tribespeople.
Upon their arrival, Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 30, were given flowered head garlands to wear, and were carried on a double-throne by 25 grass-skirted men.
PHOTOS: Their Diamond Jubilee tour of Southeast Asia
During a tour of a school, Duchess Kate also joined in with a song-and-dance routine of "Head, Feet and Toes." William also tried out a local sport, a fast, aggressive version of volleyball -- and he also chopped open a coconut with a machete!
PHOTOS: Kate's best royals styles
Laughing and smiling throughout the festivities, the royals had a "good, really good - an amazing evening," William told one official.
Back in Paris, royall supporters had another reason to celebrate: The couple won their case against French magazine Closer for publishing its topless photos of Kate during a recent vacation.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama has apologized to California Attorney General Kamala Harris for causing a stir when he called her "the best-looking attorney general" at a Democratic fundraiser they attended together this week.
A spokesman for Harris said she had a great conversation with Obama and strongly supports him but would not say whether she had accepted the president's apology.
Obama apologized to Harris by telephone Thursday night after returning from two days of fundraising in California, White House press secretary Jay Carney said.
At a fundraiser in Silicon Valley earlier that day, Obama raised eyebrows when he said Harris "happens to be, by far, the best-looking attorney general in the country. It's true! C'mon." He prefaced the remark by saying she is "brilliant and she is dedicated and she is tough, and she is exactly what you'd want in anybody who is administering the law."
Harris was present and had addressed the crowd before the president spoke.

One hundred and sixty-five years after a flood of fortune seekers headed to San Francisco in search of riches during the Gold Rush of 1849, a new generation of prospectors will be panning for treasure during the 50th anniversary 'Golden Jubilee' edition of the Rolex Big Boat Series (RBBS) scheduled for September 11-14 at the St. Francis Yacht Club on the Marina.
The J105 fleet racing downwind - Rolex Big Boat Series
Founded in 1964, the inaugural regatta attracted nine yachts, with Jim Wilhite's Sparkman and Stephens 63' yawl Athene claiming the St. Francis Perpetual Trophy after a narrow victory over Jim Kilroy's Kialoa II. The popularity of the event saw a gradual expansion through the years to the current six divisions, with accompanying perpetual trophies, two with historical significance: the City of San Francisco Trophy, which was established in 1968, is one of the two golden spades used to break ground for the Golden Gate Bridge in 1933; while the Atlantic Perpetual Trophy, established in 1978, features the ship's bell of the 1905 TransAtlantic Ocean record holder Atlantic. For the current wave of forty-niners (aka gold seekers), the six coveted trophies – which are awarded based on fleet participation – accompany a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Submariner timepiece presented to the winning skippers.
That the Rolex Big Boat Series has kept pace with the evolution of the sport is evident by its enduring appeal to both professional and Corinthian competitors. Breaking its tradition of including only boats 35' and larger has recently allowed classes such as the J/70 and Melges 24 to follow Performance Multihulls in being added to the mix of ORR, HPR and One Design classes racing.
Rolex Big Boat Series Event Chair Pat Nolan is expecting a strong turnout by the Farr 40 class, especially as they will be contesting the Rolex Farr 40 World Championship at the club just a month after the Rolex Big Boat Series. The J/70 class will rival the Farr 40s in numbers (expected to be about 25 boats for each class) as the popularity of that class continues to grow.
'That class (J/70) has taken off tremendously,' said Nolan. 'Our event will be the west coast alternative to the worlds in Newport, which will be taking place concurrently. To mark the 50th anniversary, a couple of smaller sport boat fleets popular here on the west coast – Express 27 and Melges 24 – have been invited. We also expect half a dozen catamarans, and the J/120s will be back, while the J/111s should have about 10 boats on the starting line. The biggest challenge with over 100 boats racing is managing them effectively to provide the best racing. Last year, three courses kept everyone out of each other's way, and having the finish off the club makes for a great spectacle.'
After many years as a sponsor of the St. Francis Big Boat Series, Rolex became title sponsor of the event in 2005. The event has continued to grow in stature, and now sailors from around the world come to the Rolex Big Boat Series expecting some of the best racing offered in the U.S., if not the world.

Dolores Lucero turns herself in; Shasta Lake councilwoman faces two felony charges
Shasta Lake City Councilwoman Dolores Lucero turned herself in at the Shasta County Jail on Thursday night after an arrest warrant was issued for her earlier in the day, alleging she submitted documents and police reports with fabricated claims of voter fraud against those who were trying to recall her from office.
Lucero had gone to Sacramento earlier Thursday to lodge complaints against Shasta County District Attorney Steve Carlton and Sheriff Tom Bosenko.
Bosenko said Thursday that Lucero, 51, is charged with two felony counts alleging she gave false declarations and evidence to a judge and one misdemeanor count of filing a false police report.
Lucero is accused of talking people into signing declarations they hadn't read thoroughly that contained false information about what they supposedly witnessed when petitioners had visited them to collect signatures for their recall petitions. Deputies said they even interviewed a man who told them he was "totally blind" and incapable of reading Lucero's declaration or identifying anyone who had visited him with a recall petition.
Lucero turned herself in at 7:30 p.m., deputies said. She was released about an hour later. Bosenko said bail was set at $10,000, though Lucero was released on her own recognizance. A court appearance was set for May 7.
Lucero said the justice system was trying to keep her quiet.
"We do not have a good law enforcement to rely on and trust. They're using their authority to manipulate me and hold me back from speaking the truth," she said. "He (Carlton) did not take action when the city broke the law, but now he's finding ways to twist it to come after me and keep me quiet. Same thing with the sheriff."
Lucero's City of Industry attorney, Andrew Jared, couldn't be reached Thursday for comment.
Investigators had been trying since Wednesday to reach Lucero to urge her to turn herself in, but her attorney said he didn't know where she was, Bosenko said. Deputies also went to her house and left telephone messages for her, he said.
Deputies said the attorney finally managed to put them in contact with Lucero.
A criminal complaint with a sheriff's report included in Lucero's criminal court file was sealed Thursday pending her arrest. Carlton said Lucero is facing three years in state prison for each felony count,
but he said if she's convicted, she's unlikely to be punished that severely since she doesn't have a criminal record.
Lucero denied the accusations, saying the district attorney has twice refused to look into Shasta Lake because it was "too hot."
"It's not true what they're saying about me," she said.
Lucero has been the target of a recall campaign led by a citizens group that alleges she's a bully who accuses members of the city's staff of wrongdoing without having any proof to backup her allegations.
Lucero said a network of "good old boys" has been targeting her for speaking out.
"I shouldn't be shocked, but I am," said one of the recall group's founders, Lori Chapman-Sifers. "My heart bleeds for her, honestly. Clearly she was not going to go down without a fight. It's sad that our city has been in the middle of all this. I'm glad the citizens stood up, and it's unfortunate that we'd have a public official so willing to do whatever necessary to bring a city down. That's what this is."
Late last year, Chapman-Sifers' group got enough signatures to place a recall on the ballot. The election is scheduled for April 10.
Shasta Lake City Manager Carol Martin, whom Lucero repeatedly accused of wrongdoing, declined to comment Thursday morning.
Bosenko denied claims the charges were politically motivated.
"She came to the sheriff's office wanting to file the report. She provided us with the information," Bosenko said. "My investigators investigated the case and found what they found ... based primarily on the information she provided."
Carlton likewise denied any political motivation. The evidence in the case clearly showed Lucero submitted the declarations in an effort to "torpedo the wishes of the voters," Carlton said.
He said when Lucero asked for a criminal investigation into the alleged voter fraud, she submitted five declarations to his office stating Kay Kobe, of Mountain Gate, had on her own gathered signatures to recall Lucero even though Kobe didn't live in Shasta Lake.
She alleged it was illegal for Kobe to gather the recall signatures, therefore making them invalid.
Lucero said the leveling of charges against only her showed that the system was being biased.
"Maybe find charges against me and Kay Kobe. Oh yes," she said. "Only me? I'm the only one?"
Bosenko said that while Kobe isn't a city resident, that alone doesn't preclude her from working on the recall petition drive. She also could legally accompany those gathering signatures.
As part of her request for a criminal complaint, Lucero submitted five signed declarations from Shasta Lake residents that alleged Kobe acted alone.
Three of the petitions also were submitted to the court, as Lucero tried to get the recall overturned, detectives said.
Some of these declarations also said those who signed the recall petitions didn't know they were recalling Lucero, detectives said.
And two of the declarations say the voters declined to sign the petition, though Kobe had their signatures, detectives said.
Detectives interviewed the people who signed the statements.
"These statements were similar," sheriff's Sgt. Eric Magrini said. "All admitted to being contacted by Kobe and all admitted to knowingly signing the recall petition against Lucero. However, when asked, all five people stated Kobe was accompanied by someone else. All of these points were in contradiction to the signed declaration submitted to the sheriff's office by Lucero."
The five people also said Lucero talked to them again after they signed the declarations.
They told detectives Lucero told them Kobe was not to be involved at all with the recall process.
"These people signed the declarations with the understanding that what Lucero told them was accurate," Magrini said. "They admittedly did not read the whole declaration prior to signing it. One of the persons stated he was 'totally blind' and did not read the declaration, nor would he be able to recognize Kobe."
Some of the people who signed the petitions said they actually had conversations with Lucero about who Kobe was with the day they signed Lucero's declarations, Bosenko said.
Lucero said the sheriff couldn't be trusted, and that she wanted an outside agency to handle the investigation into the five signed declarations.
Lucero also unsuccessfully challenged the recall in court, alleging that proponents illegally gathered signatures. Shasta County Superior Court Judge Monica Marlow denied her request for an injunction.
During a hearing, Marlow said Lucero's statements might rise to the level of perjury.
With the recall election pending, Lucero started a campaign to repeal citywide electric-rate hikes.
Elections officials Thursday confirmed Lucero didn't collect enough valid signatures for a referendum.
Lucero needed at least 320 valid signatures and submitted 388. Only 228 of those were deemed valid, elections officials said.
Some 109 of the invalid signatures were collected from people who weren't registered to vote in Shasta Lake. Two signatures didn't match the voters' names, elections officials said.
Tuesday's City Council meeting in Shasta Lake, the last meeting before the April 10 recall election, has been canceled because of a lack of agenda items, City Clerk Toni Coates said.

Annual L.A. Chihuahua Race

You know that expression "as difficult as herding cats"? I think the "herding cats" part should be replaced with "racing chihuahuas." With the exception of one trotting chihuahua, these little guys seem to think that you can race to your right or left or better yet, in circles. Having said that, I'm so there for this year's race...
