Two more Carolina women drafted

Congrats to LaToya and Erlana! Also my still-favorite player Ivory Latta moved from the Detroit Shock to the Atlanta Dream this year which is great for everybody (especially her, with family in South Carolina).

North Carolina seniors LaToya Pringle and Erlana Larkins became the 13th and 14th players in school history to be selected in the WNBA Draft Wednesday afternoon. Pringle was chosen 13th overall by the Phoenix Mercury and Larkins was the picked 14th by the New York Liberty.

  • Info from @Katrinskaya: See http://www.olympictorchsf.com/ and follow @sftorch for updates (hopefully). #

  • @msfour Well, assuming I had no friends to leave, lots of money, & didn’t care abt weather… #
  • @msfour New Orleans, London, Brooklyn, Minneapolis, Austin, Vancouver, Portland, somewhere in Mexico… #
  • Social media tipping point: there is so much micro-coverage of the SF protests that the media will have less leeway to get it wrong. #
  • @msfour as I do care about weather I choose to live here in NC. πŸ™‚ #
  • @gregoryheller See @sftorch to start with. #
  • O crap. I got nothing done on this dang budget today and it’s not going away… #notGSD #
  • @acarvin Do you think the lost opportunity to those torch runners is equal to the human rights of people in China, TIbet, Burma, and Darfur? #

  • Saw the Audience Choice winner at Full Frame Doc Film Fest and hated it. Perhaps there’s something wrong w/me, but… well, tough. #
  • @blogdiva, I’m with you: Bobby Flay is an arrogant idiot. I always change the channel if he’s on, even if it’s a show I like. #
  • Ug, didn’t get much done on #orangepolitics.org election pages this weekend. Nor bills, cleaning etc. Gonna be a hectic week… #notGSD #
  • Oooh, just learned that Charton Heston died. He had a good run. Think they have guns in Hell? #
  • Did you you know that 17.5 yr olds can vote in the NC primary? http://www.co.orange.nc.us/elect/2008PrimarySampleBallots.asp #orangepolitics #
  • Listening to muxtapes to avoid memory-hog iTunes. Suggestions? #
  • Sorry the correct Heston joke should have been –> You can go ahead and pry the gun from his cold hands now. We regret the error. #
  • @CPeterC, thanks I’ll add that to the queue. πŸ˜‰ #
  • Um, @08NTC, I think yr getting spammed. #
  • @pearlbear JINX! πŸ˜€ #
  • Not only is our blog down, http://www.bryght.com doesn’t even work now. This is getting ridiculous. #
  • Enjoying http://dadscarradio.muxtape.com. Just wish muxtape could talk to last.fm… #
  • @karitas thanks! I’ve queued those up in my ‘favorites.’ #
  • @bmadder You already own the songs you post, and others can’t do anything but play them on-demand via the web. Don’t see a legal problem. #
  • @edobejar Possiblemente es porque no queremos ser como una Barbie. #
  • With our hosted blog and bryght.com completely down, do you think they would have some info about this on http://support.bryght.com? Nope. #
  • @ntenhross Si, necesito practicar tambien. Debes leer @edobejar para nptech en espaΓ±ol. πŸ˜‰ #
  • Β‘Mchisimas gracias, @edobejar! #
  • OMG, best muxtape of the day: http://kitschbitch.muxtape.com #
  • @skeskali I know the feeling. How did I get married at all? Even my friends were surprised. #
  • Thanks for bringing our site back after a 3+ hour outage, @bryght. This was one of the top 5 most important times for people visiting us. #
  • We had 3x more traffic to our blog than normal last week, b/c of the King anniversary. Not a good time for flaky servers! Grrr. #
  • @arsepoetica Uhm… well… I’ve had less productive days. Meetings soon, then more work. (Thx for the peer pressure.) #GSD #
  • @arsepoetica Actually I’m gonna start doing election info data entry at 5. πŸ™ #orangepolitics #

  • @Mlsif Are you looking at state and local or just federal gov’t? #

  • #Memphis beat #UCLA by 15 points! #UNC will have quite a challenge if we make it to Monday. #finalfour #basketball #
  • @sonnycloward & @pearlbear, y’all have it all wrong. You need to come see US! Why should we all suffer just b/c your weather sux. πŸ˜‰ #
  • OK, it’s game time. The last or second-to-last game we get to watch this year. Inherently sad. #ncaa #finalfour #basketball #unc #
  • Woah. #Kansas fans are boo-ing on the introduction of their former coach Roy Williams! Nice. Jealous much? #finalfour #unc #
  • @jreesnc I’m not a father and I feel the same about the skimpy outfits. #
  • Why is this always so far behind the action? http://scores.espn.go.com/ncb/scoreboard :-(( #
  • @tbeckett, I watch on TV but I like to follow the little graph & stats during the game. Found some here: http://rubyurl.com/ebI2 #
  • OK, who slipped the mickies into #UNC’s Gatorade? No fair. #
  • Never seen #UNC play so bad! But I feel the tide turning… #basketball #finalfour #
  • @arsepoetica, don’t look! #
  • #UNC defense improving, just need to get some shots to go down now. #basketball #
  • Halftime: KU 44 – UNC 27. #
  • #basketball (sorry @abbyladybug) Here we can see exactly how #UNC can come back: http://tinyurl.com/5jujvo #
  • #KU lead down to 9. Anyone listen to Hubert Davis on the radio @ halftime? He predicted this exactly. #UNC knows how to run. #
  • Ahem. Can I get a ‘woot?’ At least now if we lose I can feel good about the effort. KU lead is steadily decreasing. Listen to Woody! #
  • WOW. UNC forced a time clock violation. KU’s lead is 5. #
  • @cwhittle that’s more like it, you fair weather fan. #
  • The Tarheels needed to close the deal at 5:00. Didn’t happen. Down by 19 now with 1:13 left/ #
  • So so sad to see the end of a fantabulous year of #basketball at #UNC. Still heartbroken about Bobby Frasier. See you in the fall, Tarheels. #
  • @arsepoetica, It means @tbeckett is listening to the Talking Heads. πŸ˜‰ #
  • @ericagee Thanks. The silver liming of this ugly loss is that maybe some of these players won’t go pro so quickly. I hope. #UNC #basketball #
  • Interesting voter registration stat from NC Board of Elections: Dem: 2,553,309 Rep: 1,931,915 Unaff: 1,211,931 Total: 5,697,155 #

  • Whoops that’s BRYGHT, not Brught. πŸ˜› As in http://bryght.com, as in the temporary host of our blog http://FORpeace.net. #
  • @EricReuters if it’s really simple just use wordpress.com. #
  • Enjoying yr vacation tweets, @kanter. πŸ™‚ #
  • What is Dr. King’s legacy on this 40th anniversary of his aassasination? We reflect… http://www.forpeace.net/tag/mlk #
  • Retweeting @helenprejean: "Ever wonder why over 80% of executions are carried out in the 10 southern states that practiced slavery?" #
  • @juliakm, you have some news? #
  • @msfour I read your blog about racism in Africa. it’s a sad commentary on human nature. I blame the imperialists that planted that seed. #
  • @msfour Agreed. We didn’t plant the seed of racism, but we all help it grow within us. #
  • Having lunch at Carrboro’s newest locally-owned business: Neal’s Deli. A great first day for them! #
  • McCain observes annivesary of MLK’s death by backpedaling. http://tinyurl.com/5yuf94 http://colorofchange.org/mccain_facts/ #
  • @coreyr Yes it was delish. A bit expensive but good quality. #
  • Today’s the last day for early bird registration for the big Media Reform conf – at which I am speaking!! http://freepress.net/conference #
  • Very excited about Nat’l COnf for Media Reform. I’m going to be on a panel with @Danah Boyd & Craig Newmark! and #
  • (Whoops misfire. Mistweet?) @bmadder I just found out today. http://www.freepress.net/conference #ncmr #
  • @MandianaJones the panel is called "Facebook Power: Organizing for Change on the Social Web" Kinda silly. #
  • @ntenhross is that an open question to everyone? #
  • @ntenhross I might do it if the time was limited. I always feel behind at work, so it’s hard to help others before dealing w/ my own stuff #
  • @tiffanybbrown I pretty much assume that the U.S. gov’t has done more evil stuff than I can think of. Haven’t been wrong yet. #
  • There is no way *this* brain is working on a departmental budget today. Not gonna happen. #
  • Remember to visit us for more radical MLK inspiration over the weekend: http://forpeace.net/tag/mlk #
  • Listening to http://ayse.muxtape.com and feeling the luv. Thanks @arsepoetica. #
  • Cool, permanent early bird discount for National Media Reform Conf. See y’all there. http://www.freepress.net/conference Thanks @freepress! #

  • @sonnycloward me too. #Reset needed. #
  • @tiffanybbrown, I agree with @arsepoetica. Fact is Rhodes is a shock jock just as bad as any, just with slightly better politics. #
  • Ha ha, @sonnycloward! I have a couch in my office but now it’s too covered with junk to sit on. Either way, it’s supporting a bad habit. #
  • I dunno, that’s just Air America always sounds like whenever I hear it. Like a left-wing Limbaugh (except not quite as loony). @arsepoetica #
  • @bmadder, boo, hiss. We no likey the CivicPlus here in Chapel Hill http://tinyurl.com/6yr5wp #
  • Thinking about calling my next presentation "It’s the network, stupid." #
  • @chimprawk I’ve never seen anyone so excited about a committee. πŸ˜‰ #
