“I am having cereal for breakfast.” “I am cooking.” “I am on the beach in Florida enjoying the sunshine.”
Nowadays, a lot of young people share their lives with their friends and relatives.
Last October, my car was hit in front of my apartment when I was backing up. I didn’t have any experience with car acci-dents before, even in China. I didn’t know how to deal with this situation and was in a hurry at that time. The driver felt so guilty and apologized to me. He wrote down his name and phone number and said to me, “Don’t call the po-lice. I will get your car fixed. It’s all my fault.” I left there and drove to campus. When I finished my class, I told my
friends what happened to me. I realized I didn’t get any
guarantee. I didn’t see his insurance
card and driver’s license. I didn’t even take a picture of his plate tag. I was so worried. I posted a status on Weibo (Chinese Twitter) about my situation and my worries and asked who was experienced in dealing with this type of situation.
One of my friends repost-ed it on the most influential Weibo account among Chi-nese people in North America to ask for help. He reposted my Weibo and helped me get suggestions. Tons of Chi-nese people who live in North America gave me all kinds of replies. Some of them gave me some useful suggestions, but most of them replied how stupid and silly I was, it must be a “hit-and-run.”
At the time, I felt so bad and almost cried. I blamed myself. I felt I was stupid and silly. Fortunately, with some friends’ help, my car got fixed
under his insurance. Although I really got some good sug-gestions through social me-dia, those hurtful words re-ally made me sick. I became afraid of social media. I began to post less about my life after that.
I spent too much time on so-cial media. Whenever I start-ed doing something, I would check social media first. I used it to get news, to get recipes, to research, to know what my friends are doing, to get sale information and coupons, to buy and sell things and even to get work information. It seems social media had con-sumed my whole life. Some people share their whole lives with others and get too per-sonal.
Social media is terrifying. I have a very real love-hate
relationship with it. On one hand, I can’t live without it; on the other hand, I am afraid of the negative information and invective comments.
As for my Twitter, due to the network restriction in China, I
registered it after I arrived in the United States. From my Chinese Weibo experience, I only follow the mainstream media and celebrities’ Twit-ters. However, those tweets are so boring and official. They’re bland and uninterest-ing.
It’s hard to balance it. A lot of people shut down their social media accounts and force themselves to get rid of it. However, the power of social media is still becoming stronger and stronger. The events that happened after the election last year were partly caused by social media.
Therefore, be careful. Be-cause even though social media is entertaining, infor-mative and keeps people con-nected to their friends and relatives, it can also be dan-gerous if used inappropriately.

Just when I thought that the gun control debate was begin-ning to die down again and people were tired of reading about it, Joe Biden opened his mouth.
In keeping with the times, Biden hosted a Facebook “town hall” meeting to answer questions fielded by Parents Magazine.
In response to a question asking if banning assault weap-ons would make it difficult for innocent citizens to defend themselves, Biden said, “If you want to protect yourself, get a double-barrel shotgun.
You don’t need an AR-15. It’s harder to aim, it’s harder to use and, in fact, you don’t need 30 rounds to protect yourself. Buy a shotgun. Buy a shotgun.”
Biden included a quick story of telling his wife that if she fires a double-barrel shotgun into the air twice, it will stop any intruder from coming near. He was, I’m assuming, talking about his house in Delaware, rather than his residence at the vice president’s estate.
Interestingly, under Dela-ware statutes, if his wife were to do such a thing, she would be breaking the law, as point-ed out by the National Rifle Association and corroborated by U.S. News and the Wash-ington Post. So, Biden’s best solution for preventing some-one from breaking the law is to break the law, using a gun that can be equally difficult to use, especially for a 62-year-old
woman like Mrs. Biden.As if the fact that Biden sug-
gested his wife break the law weren’t comical enough, his whole premise is downright laughable. Apparently, Biden believes that the proper way to push for gun control legisla-tion is to tell people that they need guns to protect them-selves.
Now, I get that his argument is that a shotgun in a home is preferable to an AR-15 on the street, like the ones used in the Aurora shooting and, supposedly, the Sandy Hook shootings. However, Biden couldn’t be more wrong. Ac-cording to FBI crime statistics, shotguns account for more an-nual homicides than all rifles (FBI does not break down the rifle category into type). In fact, knives, blunt objects and hands/feet each account for more deaths per year than all
rifles.Further, since the assault
weapons ban expired in 2004, the number of homicides by rifle has been trending down-ward.
So, Biden truly believes that it is better to ban weapons like the AR-15, but it is perfectly acceptable to have a weapon that is more likely to be used in a homicide? And he didn’t even touch the topic of hand-guns, which are used for al-most eight times the number of homicides as shotguns.
It appears that Biden is let-ting the politics of his party get in the way of common sense.
Though I cannot say that I am surprised. After all, he did recommend that his wife be-come a criminal.

On Monday morning, national political news was abuzz when a legal brief in support of gay marriage was released to the public, but it wasn’t the subject matter that created the stir. It was the fact that many promi-nent Republicans signed the document.
This news only adds to the maelstrom of disagree-ment and infighting that has largely characterized the Republican Party since the failed presidential can-didacy of Mitt Romney in November of last year.
Although they are unable to pinpoint one specific problem that led to his loss (though many cite reasons like extreme-right “radical-
ization” of the party, the fact that Romney was a poor candidate or the fact that they lost the minority vote), most Republican politicians agree that change is the only way to keep the party mov-ing ahead.
Supporting gay marriage is a stance that many of the legal brief ’s signatories had been staunchly against only a few years ago, but in light of the 2012 election, their change of heart did not sur-prise many political ana-lysts.
Republican strategist John Feehery warned, “The ground on this is obviously changing, but it is changing more rapidly than people think. I think that Republi-cans in the future are going to be a little bit more careful about focusing on these is-sues that tend to divide the
party.”Republicans would do
well to heed his warning because America’s public opinion on same-sex mar-riage is changing, and it is changing fast. According to recent public opinion polls by Gallup and the New York Times, the majority of Americans support gay mar-riage, up from one-third of pollsters in 2003.
These prominent Repub-licans may be ahead of the curve for their party as a whole, but they are a step behind the majority of the American people.
To stay relevant as a po-litical party in future elec-tions, many more are going to have to embrace change. If conservative politicians with moderate constituen-cies are unwilling to sup-port same-sex marriage for
human rights reasons, they may need to begin think-ing of it as a career-saving move.
Several recent polls show that over 70 percent of vot-ers under the age of 30 are in favor of gay marriage.
Contrary to popular be-lief, allowing gay marriage in the eyes of the law does not mean that religious or-ganizations or churches would be forced to recog-nize the unions.
The separation between church and state exists for a reason, and it will continue to protect religion from the interference of the govern-ment and the government from the interference of re-ligion.
I myself am a supporter of gay rights. I believe that all American men and women should have the right to
marry the person they love regardless of their gender or sexual orientation. As Dick Cheney said years ago on the issue, “Freedom means freedom for everybody.”
Former Utah governor and Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman wrote in an op-ed in The American Conservative last week that “there is nothing conservative about denying other Americans the ability to forge that same relation-ship with the person they love.”
Even though I might not agree with many of his other beliefs, on the issue of gay marriage, I couldn’t agree more.

them do simulation together gives them a better under-standing of what the roles are of each job,” Hitt said.
The joint simulation pro-gram provides a way to teach
health care even though edu-cation on the Oxford campus is not specifically oriented to-ward the health sciences.
“Health care can be taught on a liberal arts campus,” Matthew Strum, clinical as-sistant professor of pharmacy practice, said in an Ole Miss News press release. “You just have to be creative and find
unique ways to do it.”According to Hitt, phar-
macy and nursing school stu-dents will continue to work together as the program pro-gresses.
“We want the simulator to provide adverse situations that the students might not get the chance to experience in real life,” Hitt said.

all from his six 3-pointers, as he tied Chris Warren’s record of 111 3-pointers made in a sea-son. Henderson came off the bench for the second straight game, and only scored three points in the first half before erupting for 15 in the second half.
Henderson wasn’t the only Rebel to reach a milestone, as senior forward Murphy Hol-loway became the first player in school history to score 1,000 points and grab 1,000 rebounds. Holloway finished with 16 points and nine re-bounds. The school’s all-time leading rebounder now has 1,361 points to go along with 1,007 rebounds for his career. His frontcourt mate, senior Reginald Buckner, added 12 points, seven rebounds and three blocks.
“I was really proud of our frontcourt when I look at Reg and Murph’s numbers,” Ken-nedy said. “I thought in the second half they were both very active on the offensive glass. Those are the guys that we need to produce.”
Sophomore guard Jarvis Summers made it four Rebels
in double figures as he added 15 points and dished out four assists.
On the defensive end, Ole Miss was not able to slow down senior guard Elston Turner, who finished with 25 points. He scored 37 earlier this year when Texas A&M knocked off Ole Miss 69-67 in College Sta-tion.
Ole Miss used a 2-3 zone for most of the game and forced 16 turnovers, most of which were from tipping passes at the top of the key. Henderson had a team-high three steals for the Rebels.
Freshman forward Anthony Perez suffered a leg injury in the second half. He was bat-tling for a rebound when a Tex-as A&M player fell on Perez’s back and legs.
Kennedy said he wouldn’t speculate on the injury until an MRI was done. If Perez misses any games, Kennedy said he anticipates going small and us-ing a four-guard lineup.
Ole Miss will travel to Starkville on Saturday to take on Mississippi State. The Reb-els have just three games re-maining in the regular season.

Ole Miss theatre senior Houston Settle and alumnus Jordan Berger took home the Spirit of the Hoka Award for best Mississippi narrative for their film “Tube” at the 10th annual Oxford Film Festival last weekend.
“To have a winning film is something that we are defi-nitely very proud of,” said Berger, who directed the film.
The accolade came as a surprise to Berger and Settle, who both wrote and played minor roles in the film.
“It had kind of been sitting on a shelf for the past year,” Berger said. “This is the first time that ‘Tube’ has been screened anywhere.”
Berger and Settle became the youngest filmmakers
ever to receive the honor.Alan Arrivée, cinema di-
rector with the College of Liberal Arts and assistant professor of cinema, said that the work was worthy of the recognition.
“Their work was surpris-ingly high-level,” said Ar-rivée, who also served as a judge at the festival. “It is really at the forefront of the work being done in Missis-sippi.”
The award-winning film is about an elderly woman who lives alone on her couch surrounded by items she has purchased from the Home Shopping channel and en-counters her greatest fear when her television breaks. Berger and Settle said the themes of nature and the natural world along with the pitfalls of consumerism play a large part in their films.
“That is kind of what we try to bring into our films if we can,” Berger said.
Berger and Settle ex-pressed interest in seeing more students try filmmak-
ing. “I think a lot of people are
just scared to even try it,” Berger said. “It seems over-whelming to them, but what is it going to hurt?”
For students who want to get started making films, the two filmmakers emphasized the team aspect of the pro-cess.
“Do not try to do it by yourself because film is the most collaborative art that there is,” Settle said.
Despite their recent suc-cess, Berger and Settle said they continue to look to the future.
“We’re just always trying to make the next thing,” Berger said.“We just need to keep making and learning through failures and experi-ences to really get good at it, which is what we’re trying to do.”

Accounting student gains rodeo fameWhen he’s not hitting the books, shelton headley is busy gaining world recognition with 26 championships in various rodeo competitions, including seven this past summer at the american junior paint horse association World championship show.

Sophomore Shelton Headley competes in a rodeo competition.
Shelton Headley is truly more than what meets the eye. With 26 world championships under his belt in various rodeo competitions, it may be hard to believe that he is only a sophomore here at Ole Miss.
“I compete in rodeos as a hobby, but it’s a pretty normal life,” Headley said. “I usually ride when I go back home, but that’s about it. I’m just a regu-lar student up here.”
The Port Gibson native won a world championship in bar-rel racing, stake race, calf rop-ing and steer roping and a
reserve world championship in goat tying, pole bending and breakaway roping at the American Junior Paint Horse Association World Champi-onship Show in Fort Worth, Texas, this past summer.
“I’m a very competitive per-son, so being able to compete against other people and win a little here and there is prob-ably what I like the most,” Headley said.
When the opportunity to compete in the world spotlight is not available, Headley par-ticipates in various local races throughout Mississippi. Com-peting in rodeos has a long history in the Headley family.
“My parents and uncles competed when they were younger, so I just went from there,” he said. “They’ve helped me some along the way. It’s pretty much a family event.”
During the school semester, Headley focuses his energies on obtaining a title vastly dif-ferent from that of rodeo world champion — certified public accountant. He is studying ac-counting at Ole Miss to fulfill his plan to be a CPA.
“I guess I’m just another normal guy around campus,” Headley said. “I just have a unique hobby that some don’t.”

not just puppy love: bottletree animal hospital serves oxford pets
When nursing junior Katie Cleary took her 6-month-old Labrador, Swayze, to Bottle-tree Animal Hospital, she got more than what she asked for.
Her dog tested positive for Parvovirus, which attacks rap-idly reproducing cells. This highly contagious virus is most common in puppies from six to 20 months old.
Parvo calls for immediate and aggressive treatment, but Cleary didn’t have the money for an overnight stay. The vet-erinarian gave her an infor-mation session about how to administer IV fluids and nau-sea medicine to her dog and called Cleary every other day until Swayze fully recovered.
“They were really very helpful,” Cleary said. “I guess they knew that this was a scary thing for me, but they were re-ally supportive.”
Bottletree Animal Hospital opened its doors to Oxford and the surrounding area on Jan. 2. It specializes in emer-
gency cases as well as less ur-gent dental, medical and sur-gical issues.
Bottletree is located at 201 South Commerce Cove and is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the first Saturday of every month.
It has served 143 pets so far, from bearded dragons to ca-nines and rabbits.
Owner and veterinarian Dr. Apryl Garcia aims for open
dialogue with clients to edu-cate them about how to take care of their pets.
“I think that a lot of people take treatment for granted, and they just accept things without an explanation,” Garcia said. “I like to pass that informa-tion along to (the owners), and I want their experience to be great.”
Bottletree has been Garcia’s dream since she started work-ing with veterinarians at age 12. She said she loves animals because of the way they en-rich people’s lives.
“The human-animal bond is great,” she said. “It can help as far as medical issues are con-cerned. It can help as far as mental issues and behavioral issues. I think it’s therapeutic.”
First-time pet owners can re-ceive an annual package that includes medication, leashes, shots, blood work, heartworm and physical tests and a nail trim for one price.
Sarah Pickell, a receptionist at Bottletree, said the pack-age can help students who are first-time pet owners.
“People think that you can have a pet and then you can just let them go for a couple years,” Pickell said. “Well, they can (get) disease that way so they need their vaccines. People know about rabies, but there are a lot more diseases than that.”
Dogs and cats can stay over-night for minor emergencies. Cats stay separately in one of the condos, and dogs can get their exercise during the out-door and indoor runs.
Garcia is also an expert in acupuncture, which can be helpful for a pet’s chronic pain, skin problems, diarrhea and other illnesses. She said having these specialties fits her dream of keeping pets healthy.
“We try to incorporate all types of care into one full ex-perience, and also we try to educate our clients,” she said. “Putting that extra time (in) makes a huge difference.”
Students can call 662-234-4336 to make an appointment or ask questions about their pets’ health.

For seniors Maggie McFerrin and Courtney Marbra, tonight will be the last time they suit up for Ole Miss at home.
The Lady Rebels (9-18, 2-12 SEC) will face the 10th-ranked Kentucky Wildcats (23-4, 11-3 SEC).
For Ole Miss, this will be its fifth opponent in its last six games that has been ranked in-side the top 14.
“You’re going to see 40 min-utes of absolute pressure,” Ole Miss head coach Brett Frank said of the Wildcats. “Kentucky really gets after you.”
Frank said the game against
the Wildcats would be tough but exciting, as Kentucky ranks sec-ond in the SEC, averaging 76.9 points per game.
“They’re a team that arguably could compete for a chance at a Final Four spot, if not a national championship,” Frank said.
“They’re the defending champs and the ones you have to gauge yourself against.”
While the Wildcats rank sec-ond in the SEC in scoring of-fense, they also lead the league in scoring margin at 20.6 points per game.
Kentucky is led in scoring by senior guard A’dia Mathiesm, who averages 15.9 points per game, and junior center DeNe-sha Stallworth, who averages
12.6 points per game. The Wild-cats’ leading rebounder is junior forward Samarie Walker, who averages 8.6 boards per game.
Ole Miss leads the all-time series by a count of 20-13 and 10-5 in games played in Oxford. However, Kentucky has won three straight in the series.
The Lady Rebels will also look to defeat the Wildcats for the first time in Tad Smith Coli-seum since 2009.
Senior night festivities will be-gin at 6:40 p.m., and Ole Miss and Kentucky will tip off from Tad Smith Coliseum at 7 p.m.

SOfTBALL SWEEPS DOUBLEHEADER
The Ole Miss softball team has now won eight consecu-tive games after dominating a doubleheader against Arkan-sas-Pine Bluff, 4-0 in game one and 16-0 in game two.
“It’s good to throw some shutouts. I thought our de-fense played pretty well,” head coach Windy Thees said of the team’s wins last night. “The first game, I thought it took us a while, offensively, to get things going, but I felt in the second game we were able to drive the ball a little bit better.”
The Rebels (12-8) were held scoreless until the bottom of the third inning when junior first baseman Londen Ladner
delivered a 2-RBI single. After giving up singles to two of the first three batter, junior right-hander Shelby Jo Fenter did not allow another base runner, while striking out 11 batters.
In the second game, the Rebels run-ruled the Golden Lions (0-10) in just five in-nings. The offense scored 16 runs on 10 hits, while junior right-hander Carly Hummel pitched the second shutout of the night, giving up only one hit with five strikeouts.
Ole Miss looks to extend its winning streak as it travels to Florida for five games in UCF Holiday Inn Select Spring Fling this weekend.

then added a two-run home run over the home bullpen in left field that increased the Reb-el lead to 4-0. It was Turner’s second home run of the season.
“After my first at-bat, I was re-ally frustrated at myself for let-ting two hanging curveballs just go by,” Turner said. “I came up my next at-bat and got a 2-0 fastball and wasn’t looking to do anything special, just look-ing to move the ball when it counts, and I got a good swing off and good things worked out.”
Sophomore second base-man Jake Overbey added an RBI groundout in the sixth, then sophomore catcher Austin Knight delivered an RBI dou-ble to right and later scored on a wild pitch. The Golden Lions
(2-7) added two runs in the top of the ninth, but it was too little, too late, and the Rebels secured the victory.
Ole Miss returns to action for a three-game series against Florida International in Miami. First pitch for Friday’s series opener is set for 5 p.m.

In its first outdoor match of the season, the No. 13 nationally ranked Ole Miss men’s tennis held off Memphis, 4-2, Wednes-day at the Palmer/Salloum Ten-nis Center. Senior Jonas Lutjen, ranked No. 5 in the nation, won five straight games in the third set to clinch the match for the Rebels with a 1-6, 6-3, 6-4 win at No. 2 singles.
“We knew this was a very good Memphis team,” head coach Billy Chadwick said. “We had to be at our best. I thought our guys fought really hard. It was the exact kind of match you want to start the season with. You want to be pushed to the limit. You want the conditions to be rough. As a result of this match, we’ll be in much better position going into the SEC first weekend.”
Ole Miss got on the board with the doubles point. Lutjen and sophomore Nik Scholtz, the fifth-ranked doubles team in the nation, won 9-7 at No. 1 doubles, then junior Johan Backstrom and freshman Stefan Lindmark won a tiebreaker at No. 3, 9-8(4) to clinch the point.
“It’s a big day for us to get that doubles point for sure,” Chad-wick said. “For us to be success-ful, we’ve got to get that doubles point.”
Three of the singles matches were decided in straight sets. Backstrom won 6-2, 7-6(2) at No. 5 singles, and Lindmark won 7-6, 6-1 at No. 4, while senior Adrian Forberg Skogeng lost 6-0, 6-3 at No. 6. Shortly after Backstrom and Lindmark won their match-es to take a 3-1 lead, Memphis finished off a comeback against sophomore William Kallberg at No. 3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, to draw with-in one, which put the match in the hands of Scholtz and Lutjen.
“The match was on the line. That’s who we want at bat. Our 1’s and 2’s, for sure,” Chad-wick said of Scholtz and Lutjen. “It was great to see Jonas fight through, down 4-1 in the third, and reel off five straight games and take the match for us. That was big.”
Scholtz, ranked No. 12 in the nation, won the first set, 6-2, be-fore losing a second-set tiebreak-er, 6-7(6) at No. 1 singles. Lutjen, meanwhile, rallied after drop-ping his first set, 6-1, to win the second set against 79th-ranked Joe Salisbury, 6-3. Lutjen then broke at 4-4 and served out the match in the third, while Scholtz was up a break, 4-2, in the third.
Ole Miss returns to action this weekend for the start of SEC play on the road against No. 31 Alabama on Friday and No. 32 Auburn on Sunday.

nO. 8 DiaMOnD RebelS bOunce back witH winafter suffering its first loss of the season tuesday, ole miss got back in the win column with a 7-2 victory against arkansas-pine bluff Wednesday.
The Ole Miss baseball team bounce back from its error-filled 4-3 loss to Memphis with a 7-2 win against Arkansas-Pine Bluff Wednesday. The Rebels (8-1) were carried by fresh-man right-hander Brady Bram-lett, who picked up the win in his first collegiate start on the mound.
“I’m proud of the way we bounced back after a miserable night,” head coach Mike Bian-co said. “I thought the guys re-ally responded. Brady Bramlett was terrific. Your first college start, that’s how you draw it up. I thought he really located his fastball and slider with a lot of right-handed hitters, kept them at bay.”
Bramlett (1-0) pitched five shutout innings, giving up only two hits with seven strikeouts and zero walks. The Bartlett, Tenn., native was pleased with
his outing.“I was a little nervous,”
Bramlett said. “But once I got out there, I felt confident, and knowing the defense I had behind me, got in and started feeling it.”
Ole Miss got on the board in the bottom half of the third inning. Junior shortstop Aus-
tin Anderson pushed across the first run with an RBI triple down the right-field line, and then sophomore center fielder Auston Bousfield drove him in with an RBI single to center. Junior catcher Stuart Turner, who went 2-for-3 on the night,
