In 2006, Rushing had a big impact as the assistant golf coach in helping lead the team to their first conference title since 1996 and a third place Region XI Tournament finish. Rushing also help boost Cole Floyd to the individual title at the region tournament to send a Union participant to the NAIA National Tournament for the first time since a team appearance in 1998. Then in 2008, Rushing coached his team back to the top of the league with a TranSouth Championship.
Rushing spent 17 seasons as head coach of the Union baseball program. Rushing led his Bulldogs to 11 straight seasons with at least 30 wins. Overall, he had tallied 30-plus wins 14 times and posted at least 40 wins three times. In his 17 years at Union, Rushing's win total has dropped below 30 just three times (29 in 1993, 2005; 27 in 1989). Rushing, a 1976 graduate of Union University, won the TranSouth Conference regular season and tournament titles in 2002, and he also lead his Bulldogs to a TranSouth regular season title in 2000. From 1999 through 2005, Rushing led the Union Bulldogs to four of the seven NAIA Region XI Tournaments.
Rushing compiled a 21-year baseball coaching record of 664 wins and 460 losses (60%), earning his 600th career win in a win over Martin Methodist during the 2003 season. His 17-year Union record is 582-362 (62%). Rushing was named TCAC Coach of the Year twice (1987, 1995), NCCAA MidEast Region Coach of the Year (1998), TranSouth Coach of the Year twice (2000, 2002), NAIA Region Coach of the Year twice (2000, 2002), and ABCA Region Coach of the Year twice (2000, 2002). He led the Bulldogs to two conference championship and one conference co-championship, participated in five district tournaments, and six regional tournaments. He served as Chairman of the Conference Baseball Committee for 10 years (1994-2002, 2004). He also served as the region chair from 2000-2005.
Rushing began his coaching career at South Side High School in Jackson. There he won a pair of district championships and compiled a 59-34 record. Rushing then turned his attention to the collegiate level by serving as head coach for four years at Lambuth College (now University). While at Lambuth, Rushing was named the 1987 TCAC Coach of the Year while leading the Eagles to a school record 27 victories and a first ever playoff appearance.
As a player at Union, Rushing was named the Most Valuable Player in 1976 while batting .378 and earned his third Outstanding Defensive Player award. During his playing career at Union, Rushing played all nine positions, but found his talents best suited the catching spot. Rushing served as Union's team captain for two seasons before graduating Union and then heading to Memphis State University where he received a masters degree in 1980.
He is married to the former Susan Clark of Jackson and has three children, Amy, Jennifer, and Kelly.

"Bring the blacktop over."
"What do you mean?"
"I need to look up a certain product for the pool and none of the stores have it."
"Oh, you mean my laptop!"
Fine. I bring over my laptop and she makes this comment that I shouldn't meet people on that "intercom".
"The what?"
"Don't you be meeting people on that intercom!"
"You mean, the internet, ma?"
"Yeah, whatever it is."
When I used to work for a telecommunications company in their call center, I remember senior citizens calling in, asking for technical help with getting onto the internet.
"Well, my son just bought me this thing here that goes on my computer and I don't know how to use it, see. They say it'll keep us in touch more often."
That's all I needed to hear. Why are children doing this to their parents? It's bad enough when I got my mother a cordless phone with caller id on it.
"How do you know when somebody calls you?"
"The phone will ring, ma."
"How do you know who it is?"
"The caller id will display the name and number usually. You'll see it on your little screen there."
My mother received a cell phone bill. She upgraded to a new service that has the option for text messaging and internet. Of course, she only wants it for the basic purposes of which any telephone can do… dial and get incoming calls.
"What's this on my bill, Deb?"
"It says SMS messaging, where someone either texted you or you texted them."
Now I know that she or my father would never be able to texted somebody, because half the time they can't even see the numbers they're dialing.
Then there was silence, as she skimmed through her bill.
"Well who would tex mex anyone?"
I'm so done with helping them.

BJ Botha would provide the Stormers' scrum with a destructive edge if he was brought to the Cape franchise.
Injuries to looseheads Wicus Blaauw and JC Kritzinger mean the Stormers are one blow away from crisis at a critical stage of the competition. JD Moller will start at No 1 against the Crusaders this Friday, but coach Allister Coetzee will be praying there are no injuries to either of his props.
Coetzee told keo.co.za on Monday they are considering a number of options after it was confirmed Kritzinger could be out for as many as three weeks. Local men like Janro van Niekerk have been talked up, and there's been speculation that Botha, a Bok tighthead playing for Irish club Ulster, could be called on to help the team.
While the move may seem necessary with injuries to Blaauw and Kritzinger, who are both looseheads, it's at tighthead where the Stormers are most vulnerable. Brok Harris has done a formidable job at No 3 this season and has played for the majority of the campaign. If Harris goes down, they'll have to rely on the inexperienced Argentinean Eusebio Guinazu to slot in at tighthead. Guinazu hasn't had many opportunities to date and while he is listed as a versatile prop, he has played more at loosehead than tighthead for the Cape team.
The Stormers' scrum has been solid this season and have in some instances dominated the opposition. Harris has been the standout No 3 across the South African franchises, although it's premature to be talking about him as a Bok contender. He's also benefited from the scrumming power of Tiaan Liebenberg and the afore-mentioned looseheads beside him, not to mention the underrated back five of the Stormers.
The signing of a high-profile prop to the Cape franchise is long overdue. Botha's experience would be a boost to youngsters like Harris, Blaauw and Kritzinger, while his own performances would help the Stormers to destroy opposition scrums on a more regular basis.
Botha was recalled to the Bok side last November and had an immediate impact. He impressed against Italy and then produced a dominant showing against Ireland. The Boks' effort at scrum time was undoubtedly the highlight of the visitors' performance.
Botha told this site last November that he wants to return to South Africa and push for a place in the World Cup squad. To become eligible, he'll need to sign with a South African team and play in the 2011 Super 15.
While Harris has done well, the Stormers will strengthen their chances of success in next year's competition by bringing Botha to Cape Town. At the moment, there has been no official word on Botha joining the Stormers for the back end of this campaign, but surely there should be a move to acquire his services for 2011.
The Stormers have been lucky that Harris has avoided injury in 2010 and will be hoping their luck holds out for the rest of the campaign. But they can't bank on luck forever. In reference to the old adage, top teams need two quality tightheads, not one.

Club competitions
National team competitions
25-19, 20-11, 22-18, 25-15
Mons-Hainaut signed off from Group E in the EuroChallenge with a 3-3 record as they cruised to a 92-63 win over BCMU Pitesti.
In a contest between two teams already eliminated from contention for a place in the Last 16, Jonathan Wallace led Mons-Hainaut to victory with 21 points while dishing out six assists.
Pitesti contested the game for most of the first quarter, briefly enjoying a 13-8 lead, but after Mons-Hainaut scored the final seven points of the period to go up 25-19 on Guy Muya's lay-up, they just kept on going with Wallace starting the second period with a three-pointer and Amaury Gorgemans throwing home a dunk.
Brian Qvale's dunk midway through the second period extended the lead to 41-23 and although Pitesti briefly rallied, Wallace's lay-up had made it 45-30 before half-time.
Mons-Hainaut only continued to pull away in the second half, taking their biggest lead when Loic Schwartz's dunk made it 89-58 with 2:13 left in the contest.
Monwell Randle added 14 points for Mons-Hainaut while Qvale had 12 and Gorgemanns 10.
Damien Kinloch led Pitesti with 14 points while Pankracije Barac added 13 and Marcel Jones 12.
Mons-Hainaut head coach Yves Defraigne:"First, I have to say that we lost twice at home, and the success against Pitesti proves we had our place for the second round! Unfortunately, despite the fact we took this game seriously, it was not sufficient to qualify. In the first game against Okapi Aalstar we led during almost all the match, but in the last minutes, we made a lot of mistakes, and lost a great part of our chances to reach the next round. I'm disappointed, but basketball is a sport like any other, and the die is cast."
Mons-Hainaut player Amaury Gorgemans:"We played a very good game, and it's a positive fact for the future in the Belgian Championship. We began the game very slowly, but after that we were able to increase the level, and when the gap was grooved, we continued to be aggressive. As far as I'm concerned, to play more than twenty minutes gives me experience against teams which are strong, and I think I'm on the way to becoming an important player in a team with a coach who has trust in the young players."
Pitesti head coach Tudor Costescu:"We played a very poor game, and my players were unable to make what I asked them to do before the match began. We were short of aggressiveness, execution, and also attitude against a team which was eliminated, but wanted to prove it deserved its place in the second round. We missed many shots which seemed easy, and as far as turnovers are concerned, I don't want to speak about it. Of course, it was our first experience in the EuroChallenge, and I hope we'll be back on the European stage to improve our game."
Pitesti player Pankracije Barac:"We came here to do our best as we did last week against Aalstar, but despite the deficit of fifteen points at half-time, I think everything was possible. But we played against a team which was very aggressive in defense, and we made many mistakes and we were dominated in the fight for rebounds."

Venice Beach has more history, more people, more celebrities and more excitement than almost any other place in California! It is the #2 tourist attraction after Disneyland!
Venice Beach has its own unique lifestyle.
You can lay back with a great book or go out and do some great people watching. You can spend days just taking in all the fresh air and the happenings of Venice.
Hear the low mystical rumble of the late afternoon drum circle on the beach. This is on weekends when about 200 people gather in a giant circle on the sand and just make great rhythms, quite amazing to see and hear.

Valentine's Day one of most poisonous times for pets
Candy and flowers may be enjoyable for people, but they can be killers if ingested by dogs and cats, making Valentine's Day one of the more poisonous days of the year for pets, according to animal welfare advocates.
Pet parents are being advised to be vigilant when it comes to keeping sweets out of reach of their companions, because chocolate is so toxic that it can kill even in small amounts and flowers also can be poisonous and damage internal organs, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.Story continues below

"Chocolate (baker�s, semi-sweet, milk and dark) can be potentially poisonous to animals," ASPCA veterinary toxicologist Steven Hansen states in a media release.
Excessive ingestion of chocolate can cause vomiting, diarrhea, increased urination and thirst, abnormal heart rate and rhythm as well as hyperactivity and seizures, Dr. Hansen says.
The ASPCA also warns owners to keep dogs away from gum and candy, which often contain large amounts of the sweetener Xylitol, which can be a toxic killer for pets. Ingestion can cause a sudden drop in blood sugar - resulting in depression, loss of coordination, seizures and liver failure.
Flowers should be kept out of reach, too, because they can pose danger for curious pets who may ingest them, Dr. Hansen said. "Animals are very good at sniffing out things they shouldn�t eat," he said.Reports about dogs, poison and safety

Build coal export facility at the K-C site
Maybe it's a little late to get into the competition, but Everett has nothing to lose and a great deal to offer. The coal terminal proposed for Bellingham has generated an avalanche of opposition, and Everett should fare far better because building a terminal on the old pulp mill site will cause fewer undesirable impacts. One way or the other those mile-long trains will rumble through Everett, and by building the coal terminal on the Kimberly Clark site the city will keep the land on the tax rolls, and benefit from the construction work and the jobs that will be created to operate the export terminal. The developer, SSA Marine, could also count on support from Everett's elected officials, business leaders and organized labor.
From the coal industries standpoint, it will shorten the rail trip from the Powder River Basin to tide-water by 100 miles or more, and reduce the growing political and legal challenges from cities and towns north of Everett.
Competition is fierce for industries that might still want to build a deep water terminal on Puget Sound, and historically Everett has been at a disadvantage in competing for maritime business because unlike Seattle and Tacoma, Everett is served by only one railroad, its central business district obstructs the flow of traffic between its harbor and freeway, and it doesn't have a great deal of affordable back-up space. But in this case none of that matters. The city has an absolute advantage, both economically and environmentally, and the mayor and the city council should insist that the Department of Ecology, The Army Corps of Engineers and Whatcom County fully and fairly look at Everett as a viable alternative to the coal terminal proposed for Whatcom County.
Building the coal terminal in Everett will eliminate the traffic congestion, aggravation, and enormous public costs that the rail traffic will impose on everyone from Marysville north to Cherry Point. Everett can rout coal trains through its tunnel right through the middle of town to the Kimberly Clark site without disrupting anyone or anything. No one gains anything except the railroad by sending eight or ten train loads of coal a day an additional hundred miles up the coast. Everett has everything SSA Marine needs to build a coal export terminal. It has the vacant land, a willing seller, the right zoning, and community leaders, both labor and business, all favor a water dependent industry on that site.
My wife and I live near Stanwood and own property in Everett. Running 18 coal trains a day through Stanwood will not improve life for the people who live and work here.
As an Everett taxpayer, I want the city to encourage SSA Marine to build the coal terminal on the Kimberly Clark site, keep the property on the tax rolls, and capture the economic benefits.
The loss of Kimberly Clark's pulp mill still hurts but it also opened up a great opportunity for Everett's leaders. There are few deep-water industries looking for land here and Everett should go after this one with everything it's got.
Charles Shigley Jr. lives in Stanwood.

We moved and it was packed up in my office stuff and we just unpacked the box and I found it in there. Are you going to be at the bag tag tournament on Sunday? Sorry about the mix up. Total hectic situation with the baby, moving into a new house and remodeling.
i'll let you know when i get everything...
Did you get the software from your friend? If not I may be able to help just let me know.

Nassau DA Rice Cracks Down On Animal Abuse
Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice announced the creation of a new animal cruelty prevention unit and tip hotline earlier this week to handle animal cruelty, neglect and abuse cases.
The unit's mission is to protect pets and defenseless animals, Rice announced in a written statement Monday.
"This newly created unit will give a voice to the victims of animal abuse, and send the message that the abuse and neglect of animals is not tolerated in Nassau County," Rice said. "The Animal Cruelty Unit will do everything possible to ensure that those who endanger pets and other animals will face the full brunt of the criminal justice system."

Habenaria, commonly called bog orchids, are a far ranging genus of orchid, one of approximately 800 described Orchidaceae genera within that large and diverse family. There are species in both tropical and temperate zones.
Plants are best grown in deep pots (e.g. 20 cm depth, place tubers at 10 cm depth) in a well drained medium consisting of 50% river sand, 40% leaf mulch and 10% vermiculite. Plants are best grown in a temperate environment with 50-70% shading and excellent ventilation.
Regular watering should be given during the growth season, from spring to autumn. As soon as autumn cooling sets in reduce watering to once every two weeks. During cold winter months do not water. It is, however, vital to watch that the medium does not dehydrate completely. To prevent this drench the pot occasionally and allow to dry. Do not keep the medium damp. Only after new shoots emerge at the end of winter commence with watering once every two weeks for the spring season and once or twice a week as required for the summer season.
A slow release fertilizer can be applied during spring. Aphids can be a problem and should be watched for and eliminated.

Most folks I know who are interested in being nude in places not generally considered appropriate for social nudity are either totally chill, or totally in your face.
I remember from, oh, 20 years ago or so, there was a newspaper article about a charter trip for a nudist club, where they traveled nude in the plane. I thought it was silly that they had to come clothed, then undress on the plane and then dress again before debarking.

This is the internet. We all know what naked bodies look like.
So now being on the internet means I also have a mirror in my moms basement?
We know what attractive naked bodies look like - frequently airbrushed to make them even more attractive, or surgically enhanced to 'improve' their appearance. What we don't really know is what a genuine cross section of the general population would look like naked.
Nudity isn't for you to get your jollies; that's what porn is for.
Sadly it's many times hard to separate them when nudity is present. If everyone was able to turn off the sexual machinery when they don't want it to react without permission, I'd be happy about nudity or just simply don't care about it, but as things are nudity just makes everyone else uncomfortable.
Maybe the issue with our culture isn't nudity itself, but rather that we have been taught to feel ashamed about said machinery working properly.

Nor pretty clothes, for that matter.
So what's your point again, unless, of course, you are a perv looking at bodies as sexual objects, and getting disappointed when they don't gratify your voyeurism?
Clothing is useful when protecting the clothed. But demanding that people wear clothing is religious baggage we can do without. I don't care whether my 70 year old neighbor wants to walk around naked and enjoy the sun on his frail body. Good for him. But he'd go to jail and be registered a sex offender because of religious perverts who can't distinguish sex from nudity, and think sex is bad so nudity is bad too. Balderdash.

Just a correction. A hijab doesn't cover the face, just hair and shoulders.
You might be thinking of niquab, which only shows the eyes, or burqa, which doesn't even show the eyes.
Your other points are well made and I agree with your sentiments.
We'd probably all have a better sense of self body image if we saw what other people's real bodies looked like on a regular basis. Maybe we'd go easier on ourselves about body perfection if we saw what regular bodies were.
I wonder if women would really aspire to model thinness if they could see the way their bones stuck out all over.
I think my bod is incredible, and I don't give a rat's patootie what you or anyone else thinks. Get over yourself.
what's this obsession with whether people have clothes on or not?
I would answer your question, but you already answered it, immediately after that.
Do you think it's abnormal for me to force you to change your behaviors because of my problem?
No, wait. I didn't ask you if it was unjustified, unfair, evil, unreasonable, psychotic or antisocial. I asked you if it's abnormal. Look at history. We fuck around with each other because of our own problems all the time. That practically the only reason for half our laws.
If you;re so much of a pervert that you can't see nude bodies without reacting one way or another, you're the problem, not them.
Sometimes the "reaction" can be involuntary, if you get my drift.

Stay out of my seat unless invited? Though really, the likelihood I'll invite a random naked stranger on the plane to share my seat seems fairly small. Conditions on planes are crowded enough.

There goes the 3 oz "travel size" industry.

Thank our politicians (Score:5, Insightful)Every time I have to fly and get in the line for security (which fortunately is just four or five times a year), I have to wonder about the nitwits that put all this in place. Surely they don't have to go through the same thing all the time or they would do something about it. At least I would think so. That's the trouble with politicians - they don't live in the same world we do...
I think it might be somewhat alleviated by priority boarding/priority security lanes. I used to fly a few times a week for work, so I had status on a few major airlines. It would usually take me 10-15 minutes from arriving at the airport to being through security. Usually there was no extra scanner, just a metal detector. That combined with the other passengers knowing what to do made it a very efficent, somewhat painless process. I am guessing any politician would be going through this kind of lane.
Last time at the airport, when I was standing in a pretty long line for security, I remember seeing some ad: "Why do you wait? Use self check-in, electronic check-in blah-blah, whatever." I was like "Yeah, because CHECK-IN is the real problem here...".
last time I flew (just in February) I never even noticed the seconds it took to walk up to the delta check in with two clerks, only one busy and went about my way
I was carrying a brief case with a fluke scope meter, soldering iron, small spool of wire, a hand full of prototyped boards, a half dozen capacitor and resistor sample kits and they made my shit go though the scanner twice because my phone was in the same bin as my dell laptop

I could never figure out the point of all these restrictions. One of the 1st things the govt did after 9/11 was lock and harden the cockpits and cockpit doors. Because of that, something like 9/11 can never, ever, ever happen again because terrorists can't get into the cockpit. Planes might have terrorists and they might get blown up or some passengers might get killed, but no terrorist will ever again have control of the plane and use it as a missile/bomb. Pilot's simply won't relinquish control.
So, wha

Which is why I'm still not flying until the naked-scan machines are actually gone (the policy has changed, but the machines are still there in some cases) and the rules are returned to complete sanity.
Some examples of the silliness: They allow you to have a knife, but still ban box cutters, which are shorter and less dangerous than knives. Why? Well, the 9/11 terrorists used box cutters. So now, they're going to just have to use knives instead, or maybe beat people to death with golf clubs. What I know for sure is that this isn't about security.
You can always opt-out of the naked scan machines you know.
Not that I like them and support them being there at all, I just mention that as a practical matter - and if enough people travelled that opted out they would be gone as they are too slow.
Box cutters usually have quite sharp blades with a solid attachment to a good grip. Very effective for slashing, usable for stabbing.
A folding pocket knife is less likely to be sharp and the grip isn't particularly good. It's adequate for slashing, but as a stabbing weapon it's as likely to fold back on the attacker's fingers as it is to enter the intended victim's body.

There's no good excuse to spend millions of dollars screening for them either. You can take a box cutter on a subway train or a ferry. What difference does it make if you have one on an airplane?
Golf clubs and hockey sticks and the like should be prohibited from carry-on luggage for totally different reasons than safety. They are just too unwieldy in an aircraft cabin. There is no good reason for that kind of luggage not to go in the cargo hold.
