But here is Steve White's list..."About Punishment". I follow his advice at the end... My dogs have enough issues without me adding to them.
Eight Rules for Using Punishment:
1. The punishment must be something the animal dislikes and something the animal does not expect.
2. The punishment must suppress behavior. (This is, in fact, the very definition of something that is a punisher.) If something is being used for punishment, but it does not suppress behavior, it's ineffective and often just plain abuse.
3. The punishment must be of the perfect intensity. Too much and there will be negative fallout. You'll end up hurting your relationship with the animal and loosing more than just that behavior. Too little and the punishment will only serve to desensitize the animal and build resistance.
4. The punishment must happen immediately after the behavior it is to be associated with. Otherwise, a clear enough association between the wrong behavior and the punishment will not be made.
5. The punishment must be associated with the behavior, but not with the trainer. Otherwise, the trainer becomes part of the punishment and the animal starts fearing and disliking the trainer.
6. The punishment must happen every time the behavior occurs. If punishment does not happen every time the behavior occurs, the behavior gets put on a variable schedule of reinforcement. Depending on the behavior and how often the punishment actually occurs, the animal could decide that performing the behavior was worth the risk of getting punished.
7. There must be an alternative for the animal.
8. Punishment must never be used to the extent that punishment outweighs positive reinforcement (from the animal's perspective, not yours!)
If you can't follow all 8 of these rules, you're probably better off avoiding the use of punishment. Heck, even if you can follow all 8 rules, you're probably better off avoiding the use of punishment, as punishment can result in so many unintended and undesirable side effects.

Koszulka termiczna Bontrager B3 z długim rękawem i suwakiem 2018
- Obniżka
- -15%
Regardless of whether you're looking to layer-up for winter or summer riding our Merino Short Sleeve Tech Layer will keep you riding dry and comfortable.
The science behind it is pretty simple. The base layer is comprised of a blend of synthetic hydrophobic VaporRize™ fibers and Merino wool yarns that are naturally hydrophilic meaning that they love pulling moisture away from the skin. And when they do this our blend of fibers distributes it across a large surface area where it can be rapidly evaporated. So when you think about it no moisture buildup means that you won't experience any clammy chills as a result of dramatic temperature swings and your skin jersey and jacket are going to remain dry in order to leave you comfortable.
This material also comes with the added benefit in that Merino actually insulates quite efficiently when it encounters moisture so you'll remain consistently and evenly warm in the winter and cool in the summer—regardless of your level of effort. And with a short sleeve design it opens the door for use with a standard jersey in the summer or arm warmers in the fall or winter.

nice story. do not recognize the robot must have been some old defunct line inf it was before robo force.and hope you have a merry christmas also
I went through at least three Mego Batman figures when I was a kid. Every time we traveled from Spain to visit my grandparents, I would have a new one waiting courtesy of my aunt. Great times, but possibly the most fragile toys that I ever owned.
Ben Cooper Halloween costumes were the best. They were just as flimsy, but every kid of my generation had at least one. Just like Underoos.
I really enjoyed those pics, Daniel. You can tell from that sparkle in your young eye that this was gonna be a life long love affair with geek culture! Can't wait for part II.
Nice I posted up a bunch of classic Christmas photos on my blog as well the week of Christmas. Cool share.
I have to point this out being a mego head, both the Joker van (Called the Jokermobile) and the Mobil Bat lab, were indeed produced by Mego. There were vans for Spider-Man and Hulk that were produced by a company called Empire and not mego, by they were larger than these 2 vehicles. Here's a link to the Mego musuem showing the packaging of the Jokermobile with the Mego logo present on the box.
Some great memories ya got there, thanks for sharing.
Nice story. Love the Hulk inflatable pillow. You don't see that much. Here's a toy story that you might enjoy.
[...] (and wiser?) I've come to notice that every time one of our distinguished men of AFi have posted pictures of their past childhood holiday toy pictures that something has been missing from my life: namely, [...]

Do Olympic Spoilers Annoy You? [POLL]
Michael Phelps came in 4th in the 400m individual medley on Saturday. NBC made the decision to broadcast the race in prime time instead of live. Twitter absolutely exploded. People were angry at other news outlets for posting the results of the race and other spoilers before they had the chance to see them. Some gave NBC some flack for not airing the race live. For the first time, Olympians are allowed to use social media as well, but are not allowed to reveal any results.
I can certainly see why it would bother some people. I don't like to know the results of a contest prior to seeing it if it is something I'm planning to watch. How about you?

'The Office' Discovers Planking [VIDEO]
'The Office' premiered its eighth season last night, and for the second year in the a row, the employees of Dunder Mifflin are just catching onto something that's already old news on the internet. Last fall they treated us to an office-wide lip dub, and this year they've finally discovered planking.
You probably already know what planking is, but if not, Mifflinite Oscar explains the trend fairly succinctly: "Basically, you lie like a plank in weird places. That's it."
The folks in Scranton may be just getting around to enjoying a fad the rest of us were sick of months ago, but what they lack in hipness they make up for in enthusiasm.

After 8 Years, Rapid City Lottery Pool Pays Off
RAPID CITY - A group of quilters from Rapid City who for years have been paying $2 a week to buy scratch-off lottery tickets finally pocketed some winnings.
The 17 women won $55,000 on a $5 Cash Deluxe scratch-off lottery ticket last week, making each lady nearly $2,500 richer after taxes.
Quilter Betty Richards is affectionately known by her friends as "Elizabeth the Lottery Bookie." She tells the Rapid City Journal that she had to get her husband to confirm she was reading the ticket correctly when she realized the group had won.
The group has been chipping in to the weekly lottery pool since April 2005. Richards says the win won't buy them the quilting retirement dream home they've joked about for years, but they're still thrilled.

On Tuesday, the Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee unanimously approved Senate Bill 610 that would lift Michigan's ban on the private ownership of short-barreled rifles and shotguns. Short-barreled rifles and shotguns are strictly regulated under the federal National Firearms Act. Therefore, by repealing this longstanding state gun ban, Michigan law would conform with federal law, and align Michigan with more than forty other states that already allow their resident to possess these firearms. Short-barreled rifles and shotguns are subject to restrictive regulations including requiring their buyers to undergo a background investigation, pay a $200 tax and register these firearms with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives.
The NRA applauds the Senate Judiciary Committee voting to repeal this gun ban. Since SB 610 is now eligible for consideration on the state Senate floor, please contact your state Senator in SUPPORT of Senate Bill 610.

There is motivation.
There is hope.
And then there is delusion.
Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy said Wednesday he thought his team was better than the Falcons.
Not just within the narrow context of the 30-28 hack-up-a-furball job the Panthers lost at the Georgia Dome in Week Four, but overall.
"There's a point where you know you're better than someone. We just didn't pull it out," Hardy said, via Joe Person of the Charlotte Observer.
Hardy was apparently given an opportunity to clarify, and didn't back off his suggestion, saying he hoped to spoil the Falcons chance to earn home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
"I'm trying to mess up their whole playoff experience," he said. "I want them to go home sick in the stomach, mad about life, a couple depression issues, all types of things.
"It's going to be a long day from my point of view. I'm coming."
And he's bringing his 3-9 teammates with him. To play an 11-1 team.
Someone should go get Hardy a calculator for his Christmas stocking.
And they should hurry.

Consolidate copyright notices into single place. Historically, this project used (more-or-less) a file-by-file copyright inventory. This commit ends that practice. The project now has a single toplevel copyright inventory, stored exclusively in comprehensive-gpl-guide.tex (so that it appears also in compiled versions of the Guide as well). The side-effect of this commit is that the parts may no longer be easily publishable separably without (at least) the additional work of copyright notice reconstruction. This may in particular create a challenge for the FSF, who has historically selectively published sections of this Guide as materials for its CLE classes. However, without this change, this Guide will eventually suffer from the inherent problems in maintaining file-by-file copyright inventory.

I typically determine the IP of a host by doing:
$ host -t A example.com. Is there a more verbose version of this that tells me what's happening in the background, specifically the order of what is queried (/etc/hosts 1st, dns server 2nd)?
As many people can attest to, OS X Lion resolves local
/etc/hosts entries painfully slowly, and I'd like to see what bottlenecks are causing this. Seems like in theory,
/etc/hosts should be queried first and name resolution should happen instantaneously for manually entered hosts.

Week 41 of 52- still behind
3416 Adams Ave.
San Diego, CA 92116
(619) 255-2491
Rank: 4.5/5
Type of Establishment: Ultimate Beer Bar, First stop of many during San Diego Beer Week
Visit: A whirlwind trip from Seattle to San Diego, we have been anticipating this trip for months. San Diego Beer Week was nearing its end, and we were there as it went out with a bang.
Saturday morning: With the sun shining, we arrived at Blind Lady 15 minutes before it opened at 11:30AM in the highest of spirits. What awaited us?
Beers on Tap (at time of visit):
Flights of New Belgium beers including,
Trans-Atlantique Kriek
Biere de Mars
Belgo IPA
Eric's Ale
La Folie
Alpine Brewing Co. beers,
Nelson IPA
Bad Boy Double IPA
Duet IPA
Captain Stout
and Green Flash Beers such as,
Le Freak
'09 Grand Cru
Silva Stout
Black Freak
Super Freak
Grand Mantis
along with
Firestone Walker Union Jack Double Jack
There are so many that I am missing. All were top-notch beers. This list was to die for.
Bottle List:
Couldn't get past the tap-list.
Food Options:
Since we were on a time crunch with so many places to visit and so many beers to drink, we did indeed skip the delicious looking menu options. The main fare is pizza with mainly fresh, local, organic ingredients. With ingredients from local markets to near by farmers, the Blind Lady Alehouse cares about the quality of their food and the community they serve.
Bar Opinions:
As I mentioned, we were anxiously waiting outside The Blind Lady Ale House, peering in the sun-reflected windows. As we waited we read the poster displaying all of the San Diego Beer Week events that had taken place inside these very walls. Mind-blowing stuff. We could only hope that remnants of these events were still on tap.
11:30AM on the dot and we walk in the front door. The space is open with sunlight streaming in, illuminating the wooden picnic tables. Third in line, I gaze up at the chalk board, enamored with the selection. As the guy in front of us took his sweet ass time, I looked around. A wall of old bottles and cans behind a glass casing, exposed brick walls and a ceiling displaying piping and shafts. I am loving the raw look of this place.
Our turn? Sweet! The wonderful and accommodating bartender was nice enough to let us mix up a flight with some Alpine beers and Green Flash beers. Of the Alpine beers we had Nelson Rye IPA, Duet IPA (made with Simcoe and Amarillo hops), Bad Boy Double IPA and Captain Stout.
My personal favorite of these brews was the Nelson IPA which is brewed with Nelson Sauvin hops. This beer is very light in color but upon first sip, the taste is powerful with a profile of citrus, pine and some funk. The hoppiness is balanced by this slight tartness. Even at the brewery, Nelson stole my heart.
This moment was the moment I fell in love with Green Flash Brewing Co. Of course prior to this trip I appreciated their beers, but not like this. The last two of the flight were Green Flash's Silva Stout and Grand Mantis. Later on this trip, a bottle of Silva Stout was procured and safely returned to Seattle via cargo.
Silva Stout smells like the sweetest milk chocolate but the taste lends to more bitterness. This beer is well-rounded and the word "calm" came to mind. Perhaps its because when you drink this delicious, thick stout, all of your worries just melt away as the sting of liquor sends the flavors down your throat.
Grand Mantis is a Merlot barrel aged Grand Cru. After reading the description, I had to get this beer. There is a tartness of cranberries with a date or fig-like flavor to follow. A complex beer is an understatement.
Also, a side note, the Blind Lady cares about beer, like really, deeply, truly cares. They use the 20oz honest pint and the Direct Draw System. From their blog:
Our Direct Draw System. Direct-draw is a term used to describe a draft system that places the kegs in direct contact to the faucets so they kegs are cooled by the same refrigeration source that cools the beer-line and the faucets. This means that the beer-line is not very long, and that the beer arriving in your glass has only recently left the keg.
We only had time for a flight and a Firestone Walker Double Jack — so good, so fresh. But during our experience, we drank amazing beer, chatted up the bartender who explained why she moved to San Diego and why she loves the area. We even came to own some free swag ( lovin' the free stuff).
I parted The Blind Lady Ale House with hopes of another visit and with the intention to find a better beer bar in San Diego.

NOTE: This article was published in 1985. Though the author references several of the time's most compelling aspirin research, MOTHER EARTH NEWS recommends turning to more recent research and your physician for more answers about the safety of aspirin today.
It's in more purses, desk drawers and medicine cabinets than any other drug. It's a mainstay for headaches, fevers, arthritis, colds, cramps, aches and pains. It's the subject of countless physicians' recommendations to "take two and call me in the morning." It's acetylsalicylic acid — aspirin — and no drug in history has been taken so casually by so many for so long. But is aspirin safe?
For many consumers, recent research has elevated aspirin's status from that of a simple pain reliever to that of a potential wonder drug.
Some scientists say it may be able to prevent everything from heart attack and stroke to cataracts, gallstones and sickle-cell anemia.
But don't rush to your medicine chest just yet. For every study showing that aspirin might have newfound benefits, there's another showing new risks. Pregnant women are advised to avoid it altogether. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) may order manufacturers to add cautionary labels to the drug, warning consumers not to give it to children with fevers because of its association — widely noted but still unproven — with potentially fatal Reye's syndrome.
Like all drugs, aspirin is a double-edged sword, and today both edges cut deeper than ever before.
Aspirin Heart-Attack Prevention?
Aspirin has been used for thousands of years, but only recently have scientists learned how it works at the cellular level. In 1971, aspirin was shown to inhibit production of prostaglandins, a family of hormonelike substances found throughout the body. Prostaglandins are associated with pain, inflammation and menstrual problems, hence aspirin's ability to alleviate pain, inflammation and mild menstrual cramps.
But it's been the suggestion that aspirin may be useful in preventing heart attacks that has thrust the drug into the medical limelight. In a half-dozen studies from 1974 through 1980, more than 10,000 people who had had one heart attack took aspirin to see if it could significantly reduce their risk of another. Half the participants took one to five aspirin tablets a day for up to three years. The rest took a placebo. In all but one study, the aspirin users suffered fewer cardiac problems, including heart attacks, and had a lower overall death rate than those who took the placebo. But the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant. Furthermore, the largest study's findings took everyone by surprise and raised some disturbing questions.
That trial was the $7 million AMIS study (Aspirin Myocardial Infarction Study) sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Every participant in this double-blind study had had at least one heart attack. Half took the equivalent of one extra-strength aspirin tablet a day. The rest took a placebo. At the end of the three-year study, the aspirin group showed 22 percent fewer nonfatal heart attacks, but their total overall mortality rate was actually higher. Why? No one knows. The aspirin users reported twice as many cases of nausea, vomiting, constipation and peptic ulcers as the placebo takers. The reduction in heart-attack risk was not statistically significant. In fact, the only thing the AMIS project demonstrated conclusively was the all-too-familiar link between aspirin and gastrointestinal problems.
To find out "once and for all" if aspirin reduces risk of heart attack, Harvard Medical School has launched a new four-year double-blind study involving physicians themselves as the subjects. So far, 30,000 healthy physicians over 40 have enrolled. The idea is to see if aspirin can prevent first heart attacks and strokes in people who do not have cardiovascular disease. The study, the most ambitious of its kind ever attempted, should yield a wealth of information in the late 1980's — if the doctors remember to take their medicine.
Aspirin During Pregnancy
Anyone who watches TV knows that aspirin can upset the stomach, aggravate ulcers and cause other gastrointestinal problems. But, like many drugs, its most hazardous side effects occur when it is used by pregnant women. An estimated two-thirds of all pregnant women use aspirin. Animal studies leave little doubt that aspirin can cause birth defects, but human studies are more ambiguous. Several European studies have implicated the drug as a cause of infant malformation, including one Finnish study that showed that mothers of infants with cleft palates had taken three times as much aspirin during pregnancy as mothers who gave birth to normal infants. But other research, including the large American Perinatal Collaborative Project, has shown no link between aspirin and any birth defects. At this writing, it's impossible to state definitively if aspirin causes human birth defects, but caution is certainly advised.
Aspirin and the Immune System
Aspirin appears to reduce the effectiveness of interferon, the body's natural antiviral protein. Laboratory studies show that when living cells are bathed in an aspirin solution, they promptly lose their ability to use interferon, and are killed by invading viruses. In these experiments, aspirin reduced the antiviral effect of interferon by a factor of 1,000. This finding means that people who take aspirin for colds may prolong the life of the cold virus and spread their colds to more people.
Aspirin may also cause a temporary but dramatic decrease in serum complement, a family of proteins necessary to defend successfully against viruses and bacteria. Healthy individuals, apparently, can cope with this temporary loss of protection, but some doctors worry about aspirin use by people already deficient in serum complement because of ongoing or recent infection.
Aspirin and other antipros-taglandins may also interfere with the immune system's ability to distinguish between disease agents and the body's own cells. Aspirin seems to interfere with the activity of suppressor T lymphocytes, which normally check excess antibody production. Nobody knows whether this possible action of aspirin may trigger such autoimmune disorders as Guillain-Barré syndrome or multiple sclerosis; however, quite a few cases of Guillain-Barré followed the U.S. swine-flu immunization program a few years ago. Did those who developed Guillain-Barré take aspirin to relieve the muscle soreness associated with their flu shots? Nobody knows. But a strikingly similar pattern links aspirin use by feverish children to Reye's syndrome. At present, there is no hard evidence that aspirin-related decreases in viral defenses do any harm.
But the implications of all the new research into the drug's effects are clear: Aspirin is not for everyone. It clearly provides relief from pain and inflammation. It may reduce risk of cardiovascular disease. Recent reports have suggested that it may be of value in the management of cataracts, sickle-cell anemia, gallstones and food allergies. And if aspirin is used cautiously and only when appropriate, it will probably remain a reasonably safe way to deal with some of life's more painful moments.
But for each of its many benefits, aspirin can also do harm when used by the wrong person at the wrong time.

Ron Middleton
Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator/Tight Ends
Coach Info:
Associate Head Coach/Special Teams Coordinator/Tight Ends
(919) 684-2635
Ron Middleton joined the Duke staff in January of 2008 and serves as associate head coach and special teams coordinator while coaching the tight ends.
Under Middleton's tutelage, Duke's special teams play reached new heights in 2012 as both kicker Ross Martin and punter Will Monday received first team Freshman All-America honors. Martin set a school single-season record with 106 total points while Monday led the ACC in punting average at 44.6 yards per kick. At tight end, Middleton directed Issac Blakeney and David Reeves — both playing for the first time in their college careers — and the pair combined for 50 receptions for 412 yards and four touchdowns.
Duke tight end Cooper Helfet twice earned honorable mention All-ACC honors in 2010 and 2011. In two seasons at Duke, Helfet caught 77 passes for 775 yards and six touchdowns. Duke also has achieved success in the kicking game under Middleton as Will Snyderwine was a first team All-American in 2010 after making a school single-season record 21 field goals.
In the three-year span from 2010-12, the Blue Devils recovered an ACC-best eight on-side kicks while ranking among the top four in kickoff coverage all three seasons. In addition, Duke was second in the ACC in punt return average in 2012 and scored two touchdowns.
Middleton spent one season (2007) on the staff at Alabama and helped the Crimson Tide to a 7-6 overall record and 30-24 victory over Colorado in the Independence Bowl. Under Middleton's direction, Alabama kicker Leigh Tiffin totaled 111 points with a school single-season record 25 field goals. In addition, Javier Arenas ranked among the SEC's top 10 in both kickoff and punt return average while tight end Nick Walker caught 23 passes for 204 yards and two touchdowns.
The former Auburn letterman and 10-year NFL veteran served three seasons (2004-06) as an assistant coach with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers under head coach Jon Gruden. Middleton coached the tight ends and assisted with special teams and helped Tampa Bay to the 2005 NFC South Division championship.
Middleton spent five seasons (1999-03) on the coaching staff at Mississippi working alongside Duke head coach David Cutcliffe. While with the Rebels, Middleton coached the tight ends for three years (1999-01) and running backs for two campaigns (2002-03) and served as the special teams coordinator. Ole Miss participated in four bowl games during Middleton's tenure, and the Atmore, Ala., native mentored kicker Jonathan Nichols, who set 15 school records, earned All-SEC honors and captured the Lou Groza Award as the nation's top placekicker in 2003. That season, Nichols booted 24-of-28 field goal attempts and all 45 of his PAT tries en route to scoring an Ole Miss single-season record 117 points.
Also in 2003, Mississippi punter Cody Ridgeway garnered second team All-SEC accolades while the Rebels paced the league in net punting, kickoff returns, field goals and PAT kicking.
Middleton spent two years (1997-98) at Troy, coaching the tight ends, offensive tackles and assisting with special teams. He also spent time in private business, serving as vice president of American Communications.
A four-year letterwinning tight end at Auburn from 1982-85, Middleton helped the Tigers to a four-year ledger of 37-12 with four bowl games that produced three victories. In 1983, Auburn posted an 11-1 record, won the SEC title and defeated Michigan, 9-7, in the Sugar Bowl. Middleton earned a degree in pre-law/history from Auburn in 1988 and later received a master's degree in sports and fitness management from Troy in 1998.
Middleton's professional playing career spanned 10 seasons with five organizations. Undrafted out of Auburn, he played two years (1986-87) with the Atlanta Falcons before joining the Washington Redskins for the 1988 campaign. Following one season (1989) with the Cleveland Browns, Middleton returned to the Redskins for a four-year tenure that included a 37-24 victory over Buffalo in Super Bowl XXVI. He finished his career playing single campaigns with the Los Angeles Rams (1994) and San Diego Chargers (1995).
Middleton, who was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' training camp coaching staff in 2003 as a part of the NFL's Minority Coaching Fellowship Program, was selected by Gruden in 2006 to attend the NFL's Coaches Career Development Symposium. In addition, Middleton joined with other Tampa Bay coaches to host the 2004 High School Coaching Academy, a one-day clinic designed to elevate the quality of football coaching at the prep level.
Middleton has three children: Desmond, Ron II and Zaria.

In 2013 we are celebrating the centennial of the US arrival of the Larz Anderson Collection of Bonsai with lectures, exhibits, and a very special display of eight of the plants at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
In 1913, Larz and Isabel Anderson purchased the majority of their collection, about forty plants, from the Yokohama Nursery Company, prior to their departure from Japan at the end of Larz's term as American "Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary." He describes the bonsai for sale at Yokohama Nursery in his diary:
"About us were dwarf trees of fantastic shape and stunted plum in fragrant bloom, white and pink, and gnarled trees hundreds of years old with branches blossoming out of seemingly dead trunks in pots of beautiful form and color. Isabel and I stopped so long in this little fairy place that we had to drive like the dickens through the congested streets of endless villages to Yokohama, which we reached without disaster in a little over an hour…"
The Yokohama Nursery Company was formed in 1893 from the pre-existing Yokohama Gardeners Association, a cooperative of four Japanese nurserymen who had banded together to sell Japanese plants to the west. One of the nurserymen, Uhei Suzuki, became the president of the new company, which offered a wide variety of ornamental and economic plants, seeds, and bulbs to buyers in the United States and Europe. They issued annual catalogs in English of 100 pages or more detailing their offerings, featuring beautiful woodblock prints by the noted publisher Tokejiro Hasegawa and numerous photographs. The catalogs had a section on bonsai for sale, although instead of the term bonsai, specimens were referred to as "dwarf trees" grown in "jardiniers," and were "the relic of the Tokogawa era." Extensive horticultural instructions for the trees were also included in the catalog. Arboretum plant explorer Ernest H. Wilson visited the nursery in June 1918 and photographed seven plants, including several spectacular potted Chamaecyparis obtusa of a type similar to those purchased five years before by the Andersons.
The Yokohama Nursery Company is still around today and is celebrating its 120th anniversary, although its business is no longer international. A company history in Japanese may be found on their website.

With the Rebels' 82-74 win at Alabama on Tuesday night, Ole Miss has posted 20 wins for the seventh time in nine seasons under head coach Andy Kennedy. The Rebels recorded just seven 20-win campaigns in the 96 seasons before Kennedy's arrival.
Also, with the win over Alabama, Ole Miss positioned itself to earn the No. 3 seed in the Southeastern Conference tournament with a win over Vanderbilt on Saturday. But the Rebels could also finish fourth, fifth or sixth with a loss, depending on other outcomes in the league.
The No. 3 seed would not only mean a double-bye into the quarterfinals, but it would also place Ole Miss on the opposite side of the bracket from top seed and undefeated Kentucky.
"It was a huge game," said senior guard LaDarius White after the win over Alabama. "It was important and we needed this game."
As far as the NCAA Tournament, the win over Alabama kept Ole Miss around the No. 9 and No. 10 seed lines, depending on the bracket projection, and according to ESPN.com's Eamonn Brennan, the win also locked up an NCAA Tournament bid.
"Either way, both teams are straddling the No. 8/9 seed lines at this late date," said Brennan of Georgia and Ole Miss in his latest Bubble Watch. "For either to miss the tournament, they'd have to drop two straight this weekend and next, and somehow have the dozen-or-so teams between them and the cut line pass them in the next nine days. Not going to happen."
That being said, the Rebels, now No. 44 in the latest NCAA RPI, can eliminate any doubt about their NCAA Tournament hopes and perhaps play their way up a seed line or two, between now and Selection Sunday, starting with a win over Vanderbilt on Saturday.
There's not much reward playing the Commodores, ranked No. 102 in the RPI, but they have won four in a row and seven of their last nine games, dating back to the start of February.
"We get one more win, we have a secure seed in the NCAA tournament," sophomore forward Sebastian Saiz said. "That was the goal this season -- to get to the NCAA tournament and do well in it."
Senior Send-Off for Five Rebels
Ole Miss will also honor its five seniors, three fourth-year seniors in Aaron Jones, Jarvis Summers and LaDarius White and two graduate seniors in M.J. Rhett and Terence Smith.
Jones, Summers and White have been a part of three of Kennedy's six 20-win seasons, including Summers who is the SEC active leader in points (1,587), assists (507), minutes (3,762) and wins (83).
"It's Senior Night, so it's got to be the most important game for those guys who are leaving Ole Miss," Saiz said. "I expect them to come out with a lot of energy and show everybody they have been thankful for their time at Ole Miss."
Summers and White showed signs of a return to form in the win over Alabama, while Jones provided a spark with 10 points on 5-for-8 shooting, to go along with five rebounds, in 21 minutes off the bench.
Summers showed the decision-making that made him an All-SEC type player, dishing out seven assists compared to zero turnovers 32 minutes of action, while White exploded for 19 points on 7-for-9 shooting, including 4-for-5 from 3-point range. For White, it was his first double-digit scoring game since scoring 16 points in a win over Florida on Feb. 12.
"Snoop has struggled in the last two or three weeks," said Kennedy of White. "He has not shot the ball well. For him to go seven-of-nine, four-for-five from three, huge, huge effort for him. My hope is that it will give him the confidence that he needs to finish this thing strong."

Germain Racing has a new look for 2011. The NASCAR Camping World Truck Series champions are kicking off the year with a sponsorship from Tire Kingdom on the No. 30 Tundra and this season will be the first in two years that sees the 30 Tundra have a full-time teammate again. In fact, Bodine will be flanked by three teammates—Max Papis in the No. 9 GEICO Tundra, Brendan Gaughan, No. 62 South Point Hotel & Casino Tundra and Justin Lofton, No. 77 Lofton Cattle Tundra. Germain Racing's three full-time additions to the Truck Series have played into the recipe for what could be the most competitive season in history, according to the reigning champ who is attempting to race in all three events at Daytona International Speedway this weekend.
"I'm excited about the truck series and for the series because we've got a lot of new teams coming in with really good drivers. I feel like this is probably going to be the most competitive year in the Truck Series ever," explained Bodine, who is racing at Daytona International Speedway for Tire Kingdom in the No. 30 Tire Kingdom Tundra on Friday night, in the No. 15 Tire Kingdom Camry on Saturday and on Sunday in the No. 60 Tire Kindom Camry.
Bodine says the reason 2011 should go down in history as the best season ever is that the Truck Series fields are brimming full of competitive racing teams and drivers and it's why the fans keep coming back to watch the Trucks.
"When the series first started, they had a lot of good guys, but there was only five or six teams that really could step up anytime and win a race. If you look at the list of teams we've got and drivers, I think this year there's an honest 12 or 15 teams that could win on any given week. To have that kind of level of competition is incredible," said Bodine, noting that in a 36 truck field, nearly half of the competition is regularly competing for the win each week. "I believe that's one reason that fans are drawn to the Truck Series," said Bodine. "We've got a lot of good teams that are on level playing fields. We don't have four or five that are going to run away with the show every week. When the fans show up to watch, they never know who is going to win."
Bodine and Germain Racing are part of the deeper talent pool this season. They have recruited three full-time drivers to add to their Truck Series fleet this year. Bodine did his part. They are also part of another big three in Daytona as Bodine and Germain Racing attempt to race in the Truck Series season opener as well as the NNS and NSCS openers all with sponsorship from Tire Kingdom.
"It's pretty neat. I don't know that it's ever been done where one sponsor sponsored all three series at Daytona -- the same driver, same team. Tire Kingdom has been in racing -- they do a lot of other things in NHRA and drag racing, and they partnered with Valvoline to come up with this program for Speed Weeks. We're really proud to be able to be with them in NASCAR. Hopefully we can grow the program and make it bigger and better down the line," said Bodine.
Bodine is strapping into racing chassis TRD-058 for Friday's season opener. It is the only chassis to ever be a No. 30 Tundra at Daytona or Talladega. The truck has four restrictor plate wins in a stretch that began with a pole and win in 2007 at Talladega and continued through a win at Daytona in 2009 in a then unsponsored No. 30 Tundra. No driver had collected four consecutive superspeedway wins when Bodine accomplished this.
Watch Bodine in the No. 30 Tire Kingdom Tundra on Friday, February 18th, at Daytona International Speedway on SPEED with race coverage beginning at 7:30 PM Eastern. Or, tune your radio to your local MRN affiliate.

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission has barred Egan-Jones Ratings Co. from rating governments and issuers of other types of bonds as a recognized ratings agency for at least 18 months.
The SEC said Tuesday that the independent credit-rating agency agreed to the measure to settle charges that it had made false statements when applying to become a "Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization" in 2008.
The firm will likely keep offering ratings on government and asset-backed issuers, said Bill Hassiepen, co-head of Egan-Jones' ratings desk. They just won't carry the SEC's stamp of approval. "We can still issue those ratings," he said. "It's just that as far as the SEC is concerned they wouldn't exist."
Egan-Jones allegedly claimed to have ratings on 150 asset-backed securities and 50 governments. The SEC also said Egan Jones' application stated that it had been rating these securities since 1995. But the SEC said it couldn't find any such ratings available online or through other "readily accessible" venues.
In a statement, Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC's enforcement division, called the misrepresentation "a serious violation that undercuts the integrity of the SEC's ... registration process." The SEC also charged the firm with repeatedly violating conflict of interest provisions. According to one example cited by the SEC, two analysts at the firm owned securities backed by the same bond issuers they helped rate.
Egan Jones and its founder, Sean Egan, agreed to the order without admitting any wrongdoing. The Haverford, Pa., shop is one of 11 firms the SEC recognizes as an official rating organization.
The SEC's order bars the firm from giving official ratings for issuers of government and asset-backed bonds, often pools of mortgages or automotive loans. But the firm is best known for its corporate credit ratings, and the settlement leaves Egan-Jones' ability to offer recognized ratings on corporations intact, Hassiepen said.
"Our bread and butter is unaffected," he said.
In the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis, Egan-Jones became known for railing against the power of the three major rating agencies, Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
Last September, Egan-Jones cut its rating on U.S. government debt to AA- from AA, prompted by the Federal Reserve's effort to support the economy. The firm said the Fed's buying of mortgage bonds would hurt the U.S. economy by weakening the dollar and pushing up prices for oil and other commodities.

Destiny's Child, the Houston group that propelled Beyonce to pop superstardom, is experiencing a bit of a revival. And as we look through their photos from the early 1990s and 2000s, we find ourselves hoping that this revival includes the return of their meticulously crafted and coordinated group ensembles.
To come up with this many matching boots, skirt/short combos, halter tops and strategically placed cutouts takes some serious creativity and dedication. And if you're in need of another 90s fashion fix, see Justin Timberlake here.

(Anna Post is the spokeswoman for The Emily Post Institute, a U.S.-based organization founded in 1946 that addresses societal concerns including business etiquette, raising polite children and civility. The opinions expressed are her own. The Emily Post Institute's website is www.emilypost.com)
By Anna Post
BURLINGTON, Vermont, March 26 (Reuters) - From unsolicited baby bump touches to having your big news scooped on Facebook, modern pregnancy has an etiquette all its own. To keep the pregnant glow, consider the following:
Sharing the News
There are few pieces of news as exciting to share as pregnancy. Whether it is a first or fifth, a surprise or long hoped for, it is joyful news.
The choice about who to tell and when will vary from family to family. Though some couples share the news as soon as the pregnancy is confirmed, it's smart to wait until the first trimester is well in hand. Most people tell immediate family first, followed by close friends.
If you're one of the first to know, this conversation may be accompanied by a request to hold the information close until the couple has the chance to tell others personally.
Some women will make an announcement at a family event to make sure their closest loved ones hear about it directly from them.
Facebook has added an extra twist: Until the couple is ready for anyone to know about a pregnancy, they might restrict their Facebook wall to prevent an over-eager well wisher from spilling the beans. Even if a Facebook wall is active, be sure the news is truly public knowledge before posting congratulations.
If you deduce someone is expecting, either from an extra glow or a declined glass of wine, show respect by allowing her to tell you in her own time. When she breaks the news, it's okay to share the insight you had then.
The Bump
Some women enjoy the occasional belly rub or pat from close friends and family and see it as part of sharing the joy of expecting a baby. Others don't. Never pat a pregnant woman's belly without first asking or being invited to do so.
If someone asks to pat your bump and you would rather they didn't, simply say so-it's not rude to tell them no.
"Thanks for asking, but I'd rather you not." If they reach out without asking, say, "I know it's tempting, but please don't touch." You can add action to words and step back, fold your hands over your belly, or reach out to gently stop their touch.
And almost all pregnant women agree that a belly pat from a complete stranger is entirely inappropriate. It's not okay to walk up to a non-pregnant stranger and touch their belly, and the same goes for a woman who is pregnant.
If you have this impulse, curb it, and instead smile and offer congratulations and ask when she is due-this is the right way to show your excitement over a stranger's pregnancy.
Not Pregnant?
Sometimes excitement is misplaced rather than mis-expressed. Be quite sure a woman is pregnant before assuming and asking when she is due. If she says, "I'm not pregnant," there is no graceful exit beyond, "I beg your pardon." Then drop the subject-there is nothing else that can be said to make it better.
Successful Seat Giving
It's a lovely gesture (and sometimes the law) to offer your seat on the bus or subway to someone in need. Yet this is a gesture that too often fails to happen for pregnant women.
Granted, some might be just fine standing. But others would appreciate the seat, and offering yours-whether you are a man or a woman-is the right thing to do.
Though many people will say yes when offered that chance, others want to say yes but don't want to inconvenience someone who was there first. No matter who you might be offering your seat to or why, the best way to get them to accept is to first stand up, then offer. It's much easier to accept an empty seat than a filled one.
And if no one offers but you need a seat, simply ask. "Pardon me, but would you mind letting me sit? I'd really appreciate it."
All but the lousiest of people will hop right up for a pregnant woman; and if they don't, you can be sure the person next to them will. (Editing by Paul Casciato)

Campbell Edits Book on Business Communication, April 15, 1999
SOCORRO, N.M., April 15, 1999 - Dr. Charles P. Campbell, professor of humanities at New Mexico Tech and chairman of its Technical Communication program, has co-edited and written a chapter for a new book that explores the role of culture in business communications.
The book, The Cultural Context in Business Communication, was spawned by a symposium Campbell attended in Germany three years ago. The chapter Campbell submitted on "Rhetorical Ethos" is a modified version of a talk he gave at the conference.
The symposium focused on two topics: the role of linguistics in cross-cultural language teaching and linguistics in business communication. People from different cultures often have trouble communicating at a business level, not just because of language differences, but because of their separate cultural backgrounds, the text claims.
Campbell illustrated this idea by analyzing a letter written to a Japanese professional society by a Chinese scientist. He contrasted the circuitous style of the Chinese writer's correspondence with a brief letter written to a foreign firm by an American businessman. Campbell described the letter written by the American as "sterile." The one from the Chinese scientist, while polite and expansive, followed a meandering pattern in getting to the point of the correspondence: to solicit "a more intimate cooperation" between Japanese and Chinese scientists and engineers.
Exploring how cultures influence business communication is an idea only about 40 years old, said Campbell. "I'm working on how different cultures adapt to electronic communication tools," he said. Communicating over the Internet is very direct and informal, a style that may not "translate" equally well across cultures. China, Japan, and most Latin American countries are very hierarchical, "and I'm wondering how the breezy informality of the web will be accepted in cultures of that kind," Campbell said.
The audience for Campbell's new book is primarily academic, he said. "Some articles are very specialized, so professional communicators would be the primary audience. But I noticed that the book is being carried by Internet booksellers Amazon and Barnes and Noble."
The renowned anthropologist Edward T. Hall contributed the book's opening chapter, a synthesis of research on the human brain and the focus of his studies for the past 40 years. Hall, author of The Silent Language, lives in Santa Fe.
The book also includes "Negotiating With Foreign Business Persons" by Stephen E. Weiss, a follow-up to a widely-used manuscript first compiled 10 years ago. Campbell said its inclusion as a chapter in the book will give the manuscript the visibility it deserves and make it more accessible to scholars.
The studies and theories presented in the book fall under the umbrella of a fairly new discipline called Professional Communication, which include Business Communication and Technical Communication. The field traces its beginnings to rapid technological changes in industry that followed the end of World War II.
Campbell defined technical communication as "the art of making technical information accessible to people who are not technical specialists in a particular field." Science writing--not science journalism--is a subspecialty.
These days, Campbell said, people who hear the term "technical communication" tend to think it has something to do with computers, which is not exactly accurate, although visual design using computer programs is part of its curriculum. While technical communication is not yet a household term, there are signs the field is growing. "You know it's become professional when colleges offer doctoral programs in it," Campbell said.
New Mexico Tech is the only school in the state to offer a bachelor of science degree in technical communication (TC), and one of only a handful of schools in the nation with an established undergraduate program. Campbell said few freshmen come to Tech as TC majors; instead, students "discover us once they're here."
Like others who have found their way into Tech's TC program, Campbell followed his own rambling route. His college career began in engineering and moved into liberal arts, with some early years spent as a Naval electronic technician. He completed his master's degree in English in 1964 and spent ten years as a technical writer with Arthur D. Little, Inc., one of the world's oldest and largest consulting firms.
Campbell had lived in New Mexico as a child and returned here in 1979. He joined the University of Albuquerque as a writing specialist while starting work on his Ph.D. By the time he had completed his doctoral dissertation in 1989, Campbell had joined the faculty of the Humanities Department at New Mexico Tech.
One of his research interests is the study of rhetoric. "Rhetoric has always existed in a political sense," he said. "But as a study of the art of communication, it all but disappeared from the college curriculum in the early 20th century." Instead, said Campbell, rhetoric, the classic study of communication, was left to teachers of speech, while teaches trained in literature mostly taught writing.
"Nobody was trained in rhetoric when the TC profession got started," he said. It wasn't until around 1975 that college curricula began to apply the theories of Plato and Aristotle to technological fields, formalizing the study that has evolved into technical communication.
Rhetoric, said Campbell, "forces you to think about your audience: What are their needs? What do they know already? And this is where we get into an international context in rhetoric, an added complication because of cultural differences."
Campbell sees technical communication as an expanding field with diverse job opportunities. "There is a great need for it," he said. "Products always need to be explained better, and information always needs to be organized better. But 'better' has to be seen from the point of view of information users."
