UPDATE: The Halloween doodle Google accidentally uploaded a few days early is now live. Check out the timelapse video here.
Google may have experienced an "Oops!" moment after uploading a Halloween video to YouTube, then suddenly taking it down.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The video seems to be related to an upcoming Halloween doodle that hasn't been published yet.
YouTube sent an email notification to subscribers of Google's official channel Friday. The message read "Google just uploaded a video: 'Pumpkins ALL v5 FINAL'".
But clicking on the link took users to a page with the unexpected message "This video has been removed by the user. Sorry about that."
Google+ user Steve Pirk said he took a peek at the video during the short time it was up.
"W00t! Google built a pumpkin doodle on one of the lawns," Pirk wrote. "Here is an awesome time-lapse video of the work everyone did."
A thumbnail for the video indeed shows a group of about six people standing around giant pumpkins on top of hay stacks, but the video isn't viewable as of Saturday morning.
What happened here? Did Google hit "publish" too early then quickly take the video down? Did someone upload version five instead of version six?"
If it was an official Google video and not a hacker's prank, all signs point to a Halloween doodle that should appear by Monday. It's unclear whether the video itself is the doodle or just a behind-the-scenes video. Stay tuned.

Hi Stacey. I'm a moderator here at Work it, Mom! Welcome – we're glad you are here. Wow, that's a full load - being in grad school and raising a toddler, but I'm sure it forces you to maximize my time. No time for procrastination?! (At least, I spent a lot of time procrastinating when I was in grad school... ) Have a great day!

BRIDGEPORT - Fred Fryman will keep his stores open pending the appeal of a closure order announced Friday by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
BRIDGEPORT - Fred Fryman will keep his stores open pending the appeal of a closure order announced Friday by Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.
DeWine on Friday ordered Fryman and his wife, Joyce, to close the Bridgeport Party Center and Martins Ferry Party Center for one year because of the illegal sale of synthetic drugs. However, Fryman said he plans to stay in operation for the time being.
''We have been given an extension so our attorney can file an appeal,'' Fryman said. ''We will remain open.''
The ruling calls for both stores to be closed from Tuesday through Sept. 30, 2014. It was made in response to a nuisance abatement action filed by DeWine in July.
''Business owners need to know that if they take the risk of selling synthetic drugs, then they are also putting their entire business on the line,'' DeWine said. ''Those who sell these products are marketing dangerous, illegal drugs to our kids, and we take this very seriously.''
Earlier this year, Belmont County Drug Task Force officers allegedly purchased synthetic narcotics from both stores. The owners allegedly sold the items in their stores as incense and potpourri.
In his ruling, Belmont County Common Pleas Court Judge Frank Fregiato said it was clear the owners were aware the products they were selling were illegal. DeWine filed a separate lawsuit alleging that the Frymans "engaged in unfair, deceptive, and unconscionable acts by selling illegal drugs as legal products.''
The Martins Ferry and Bridgeport businesses are the third and fourth stores respectively ordered to temporarily close in Belmont County due to nuisance abatement action filed by DeWine. Earlier this month, a judge ordered that the Shadyside Party Center close for one year. Similar action was ordered against Bob's Cheap Smokes in St. Clairsville to cease operations until October.

STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Ericsson (ERICb.ST) is to cut 1,550 staff in Sweden as the world's biggest maker of mobile phone networks aims to drive down costs in an industry facing a global slowdown.
Competition has pushed down telecom gear prices while global economic weakness has led to slower spending by operators, pressuring vendors in the industry.
In the third quarter, Ericsson's core profit fell 42 percent due to slower orders and a shift in business mix to less profitable contracts. The company said then it would focus on cost cuts.
Announcing the layoff of 1,550 staff in Sweden, out of the 17,768 currently employed, Ericsson said the redundancies were inevitable.
"We must ensure that we can continue to execute on our strategy to maintain our market leadership, invest in R&D and meet our customers' needs," Tomas Qvist, head of human resources at Ericsson said in a statement.
"To secure this we need to focus on reducing cost, driving commercial excellence and operational effectiveness. "
The company stuck to its forecast for total restructuring costs this year of 4 billion crowns ($597 million), a spokeswoman said. Its shares slipped 0.7 percent on the news.
Ericsson is not the only one suffering.
Earlier this month, rival Alcatel-Lucent ALUA.PA said it could sell assets to strengthen its balance sheet after posting a second straight quarterly loss.
Nokia Siemens NOKI.UL is cutting a quarter of its staff hoping for 1 billion euros in cost savings by the end of next year while China's ZTE Corp (0763.HK) and Huawei Technologies Co Ltd HWT.UL, the world's second-largest telecom gear maker, are also grappling with weakening sales.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2013, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Al Jefferson agreed to a multiyear contract with the Charlotte Bobcats on Thursday, bringing an end to the genial center's three-year tenure with the Utah Jazz.
Acquired in 2010 as the next link in a chain of quality big men that included Karl Malone and Carlos Boozer, Jefferson's run in Salt Lake City was marked by great unrest, the departures of Jerry Sloan and Deron Williams, as well as hope thanks to the arrivals of Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter.
In the end, however, relentless liabilities on defense, a high price tag and the emergence of the very players he so ably mentored spelled the end for Jefferson. His contract with the Bobcats, which cannot be signed until July 10, is for a reported $41 million over three years, with a player option the third year.
In Charlotte, Jefferson will be relied on as the primary post scoring option. He became the first of the seven Jazz free agents to agree to a contract and did so with the only team with which he was linked in the media.
The Jazz have nearly $30 million in cap space, but have been patient. The franchise's inactiveness reinforces the belief that it is content to build around Favors, Kanter, Gordon Hayward and rookie point guard Trey Burke, for whom general manager Dennis Lindsey executed a draft-day trade to acquire.
Jefferson, 28, was the Jazz's leading scorer and rebounder each of his three seasons in Utah. Last year, he averaged 17.8 points and 9.2 rebounds, leading the Jazz to a 43-39 record. However, the team missed the playoffs for the second time in three years, a far cry from the winning scenario he thought he was stepping into when he arrived in Utah from Minnesota.
"I felt with the cards that we was dealt, we played them well," Jefferson said during locker cleanout in April. "We played them very well. With a young team, half of the team was young, half of the team was veteran and we came in and mixed well together."
The Prentiss, Miss., native was the mayor of the Jazz locker room, mentoring younger players, most notably Kanter. The player he affectionately called "Big Turk" began emulating his moves; some of them, Jefferson said, the young center did better than he did.
All along, Jefferson dismissed the notion that he was grooming his own replacement.
"That's the way you looking at it," he once told a reporter. "I'm looking at it as helping another young fella out, improve his game. Hopefully when he becomes a vet, he'll do the same with another young guy. ... Somebody did it for me. Want him to do it with somebody else."
Jefferson was named the Western Conference player of the week in March, but never became an All-Star, something Williams told him would happen when the two were first paired together. They played just 57 games, however, before Williams was traded for a package that included Favors, Devin Harris and the draft pick that turned into Kanter.
While Jefferson was steady, the team around him never was. Each of his three seasons the Jazz had a different starting point guard, from Deron Williams to Harris to Mo Williams.
Asked in April if it was emotional to be leaving a Jazz team that made him the face of the franchise, Jefferson took a business-like stance.
"We hope we'll all be in the league next year," he said. "When we're not in the league next year, that's when everybody be crying, trying to figure out what's going on. We might be on different teams, but having this job is always the blessing, as long as you be somewhere in this league."

The Ohio State University Melodrama Continues; Task Force Examining Consensual Relationships
Once the Ohio State University Work Group completed its report and recommendations, the report was then forwarded to the OSU Task Force Examining the Policy on Consensual Relationships. The Task Force issued its report on July 11, 2005 and it was then forwarded to the OSU Academic Senate. A complete copy of the Task Force report along with the Work Group report can be reviewed by clicking here.
From the get go the Task Force makes it clear that the report of the Work Group was of critical import to the Task Force: "Because of the high quality and comprehensiveness of the Work Group report, the Task Force has used it as a foundation for our deliberations." Given the specifics of the Work Group's report, it becomes quite damning that the Task Force accepts this report with absolutely no critical evaluation. It is therefore not surprising that the Task Force relied on persons who were remarkably similar in background to the members of the Work Group: "We particularly benefited from the expertise of six individuals, including four Task Force members, who reported to our Task Force on their professional experience dealing with OSU students. They were: (1) Deborah Schipper and (2) Rebecca Gurney from the Rape Education & Prevention Program (3) Karen Kyle from the Student Advocacy Office (4) Eunice Hornsby from Human Resources (5) Karen Taylor from Counseling and Consultation Service."
It also should not be very surprising that the Task Force report was to a significant degree just a rehashing of the Work Group report. Such is indicated by what the Task Force attempted to pass off as data which was used as a basis for their conclusions: "Those persons who supplied information to the Task Force indicated that serious problems relating to faculty/student consensual relationships had come to their attention in the last few years. The number of reported cases clearly seems to have risen, with one respondent indicating that her office received 7 such complaints in one year, involving 7 different departments on campus. Although there is no reliable way to determine the precise incidence of such relationships – now or in the past – we heard reports that consensual sexual relationships were regarded as "not an unusual event."…All the cases described involved male faculty and female students. For that reason, this report uses the masculine pronoun when referring to faculty or staff and the feminine pronoun when referring to students."
The abysmal lack of data did not escape the notice of some OSU faculty at a meeting of the OSU Academic Senate: " Dr. Carl Allen, an OSU dental professor, said the report is outdated, unscientific and that there's no evidence to indicate more stringent rules would make a difference. "It's embarrassing that we don't have statistics," he said. "The proper response would be: 'Let's find out what the extent of the problem is and let's educate people about this.' " Physics professor Gordon Aubrecht said a prohibition "smacks of a police state." (Quoted from "Ohio state professors bristle at proposed ban", COLUMBUS DISPATCH, February 6, 2006.)
Yes it is embarrassing, but it is something more, I would call it outrageous. Outrageous that a university would seriously consider suspending basic rights of both students and faculty based solely on anecdotal reports which were anonymous and unverifiable. I would go one step further and state that those reporting these anecdotes had an axe to grind, a personal investment in the issue, and that just about everyone involved in this situation knew that such was the case. But so what, as Gordon Albrecht states, this "smacks of a police state".
And at this Academic Senate meeting all Senate members, except for Task Force Group members, opposed the prohibition policy. But given this opposition, the police mentality immediately came to the forefront when grad student Inna Caron asked the group, "Why do you have a problem with this being prohibited? Do you want to reserve the opportunity to do this?" Then as reported, Caron "…pointed out that everyone who spoke out against the prohibition was male".(Quoted from Columbus Dispatch article.)
There we have it. Speak out against the proposed prohibition, and the motive mongers come into play and the dissenters are discarded since they are all males. Identity politics at its worse. University life at its worse. But the reality is that few are outraged, it's just business as usual.

Diamond Rio Konquered
hetz wrote us with the news that Charles Samuels has hacked together a kioslave for the Diamond Rio MP3 player. In other words, you can now reorder songs and soon upload to and download from the Rio, all within Konqueror. Check out the screenshot. Rumor has it Charles' next project is a Napster ioslave!
Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
it's great
thanks to all

Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
Isn't it a little late for Napster?
What is really needed is a kioslave for Windows CE! I want to browse downloaded websites offline.
By reihal at Wed, 2000/10/04 - 5:00am
Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
I think there is a GREAT need for IO-slaves. The whole architecture with those IO-slaves shows KDE's technical maturity, because with little plugins, you can extend the functionality of all KDE apps at the same time. There are so many IO-slaves I could think of:
Then again, I don't know whether this is possible, because for all the IO-slaves *I* know, they have to get a straight URL, and having something like "napster://Metallica-Nothing else matters" is not a unique address. I mean, it would have to show a list of possible downloads, not just get the next best file. This would mean you can just as well write KNapster, because it wouldn't make too much sense embedding it in Konqueror...
By Anonymous Coward at Wed, 2000/10/04 - 5:00am
Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
I think it absolutely makes sense to embed as many slaves into konqueror as possible (like your example of Napster). IO-slaves have two big advantages that come to my mind: fist, if the core of kde gets an update every "protocol" or "application" who uses IO-slaves is automatically updated and second: after all, the information which is being accessed to through IO-slaves is very "database-like". That means that it's sortable and everything is an object (=a file), whether it's an LDAP entry or a MP3-file on your Rio. The user benefits from a _single_ user interface and he can use sort functions of konqueror or link or drag'n'drop or whatever cool stuff konqueror does, too!
Instead of reinventing the wheel and create own GUIs for applications like Napster or Diamond RIO (which deal with about the same objects, more or less) why not use a very functional and stable base? It's like with templates in your word processor: you wouldn't write your company's address onto every letter you write. Instead, you create _one_ "base" (= the template") and with every new letter you automatically get the newest header / footer.
All in all: very cool stuff. I've been waiting for this kind of thing for a long time!
By hoshy at Wed, 2000/10/04 - 5:00am
Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
of course it makes sense to look for
because the kio-napster would then search the database, return a list of matches, and "Metallica Nothing Else Matters" would appear as a directory, containing a list of files that match that.
I also think it's funny that we talk about Metallica and napster after that little lawsuit ;)
And the kio-napster is no more than rumor, I'm not doing one. Someone else can :)
By Charles Samuels at Wed, 2000/10/04 - 5:00am
Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
Great work!! I like my rio BUT I *hate* the shit windows software that have to use with it, I know there are a few tools for Linux availible but nothing I really like. Just using Konqy is the perfect solution...
Are there any more details availible? Kernel version and other requirments
I would also like to see a working SMB slave else, take it out before KDE2 is released. Were going to get a hugh amount of bug reports if KDE2 ships with it.
Anyway, great work, shame the CVS is frozen.

I think Corel linux ships with a pretty good smb browser, so it shouldn't be impossible to do. (The corel code is OSS AFAIK)

Re: Diamond Rio Konquered
If you've used krio, this will work as well. All it requires is a working /dev/io (which we should all have).
It has a setuid "server" for handling this, so any user can access their rio without being root, without having to type in a password.

SSH io-slave?
I would like to suggest a SSH io-slave, similar to the FTP one but using scp instead of ftp.
By Federico Cozzi at Thu, 2000/10/05 - 5:00am
Re: SSH io-slave?
scp has no way to enumerate files and directories.
It could be done with some seriously eviul hackery, but it'll never be done nicely. Not until someone improves scp.

Well, you always have ssh :)
Regarding sftp, it's included only in SSH2 from www.ssh.fi (the non-free version). So you can't use it easily.

At least 'kio_fish' package works like that.

Yeah that's too bad :( The current SMB implementation will probably not be fixed before the release of KDE 2.0
Perhaps you could think about writing a better SMB slave ? :)

I/O Slaves
Is there already an I/O slave for the KDE Control center? I just can't understand why the control center isn't using Konqueror by default.
Another feature that I'm really missing is the ability to have nested I/O slaves. Now it is not possible to open tar files on an FTP link from Konqueror - I'd have to download the tar file first :(
Can somebody who knows more about this tell me if I'm thinking wrong or if it's actually possible?

Baltimore authorities roundup violent offenders
Effort collects scofflaws early in the morning
Before many people have breakfast, the Baltimore City Sheriff's Office hit the streets early Friday morning, searching for violent offenders.
Using the element of surprise, the Sheriff's Office executed Operation Safe Community, an effort to get violent offenders off the streets.
Deputies knocked on doors at a time when most people are asleep -- and the last thing they expect is law enforcement at their front door -- serving criminal warrants in east and west Baltimore.
"We figured when you've got a warrant, they don't do anybody any good sitting on the shelf, so if you come aggressively every month, we're hitting 200 a month, that's when you really see it decrease," said Lt. Carla Lightsey.
It's a multiagency effort involving the state police and U.S. Marshal's Office. Warrants are for handgun violations, drug possession and distribution and more.
"These are the type of re-offenders who, once were given the chance to be on probation and they continue to violate the laws and we are trying to put them back into custody," said Sgt. Governor Tillery.
"A month ago, it was child support. It's a big problem in Baltimore City. We put a big dent out there. Last time we had 200, we served more than half of those. So, that's 130 warrants. Then, we racked in almost $97,000 in child support," Lightsey said.
Officials arrested 17 people in Friday's efforts. The plan was to execute 125 warrants this time around, and next month they'll try it again, targeting another group of offenders.

At today's NextCruise announcement, automakers dragged out their leanest, meanest, greenest vehicles as a backdrop for the action. Of course, the fact that they were all SUVs was a bit ironic. But also on hand was a hot Corvette Z06 modified for Detroit Grand Prix pace duty and sipping E85 fuel. While no announcement was made, racing legend Emerson Fittipaldi's name is planted smack-dab on the driver's side B-pillar, making it pretty clear who's going to be at the helm during the 2008 Detroit Grand Prix.
This will be a return to a familiar place for Fittipaldi, considering he won two CART races at Belle Isle, in 1989 and 1991. The Corvette itself is pretty slick in its color-shifting paint, moving between gold and green. Way better than the '98 Corvette Indy Pace Car dressed in terrifying purple and yellow. It's kind of shocking, but even the light bar up top is kinda cool. That right there is one fine-looking pace car.

Baltimore Sun reporters Jeff Barker and Don Markus and editor Matt Bracken weigh in on the three biggest topics of the past week in Maryland sports.
Does Stefon Diggs have a legitimate chance to win either the Maxwell Award or the Paul Hornung Award?
Don Markus: On first glance, you would think that the Maryland receiver and kick returner would be a long shot for any national award, given the fact that the Terps are considered by most to be – at best – a middle-of-the-pack team in the Atlantic Coast Conference's Atlantic Division.
But the fact that the electrifying sophomore was put on the preseason list for both awards is a testament to how good a freshman season he had in College Park. Just a few weeks ago, he wasn't even listed in a blog about breakout players on the outstanding new website, SportsOnEarth.com.
The Maxwell Award has been around almost as long as the Heisman Trophy, and though it doesn't get the same kind of national attention, it's pretty prestigious. Like the Heisman, it's given annually to the top player in college football.
The Hornung Award is in its fourth season, started by the Louisville (Ky.) Sports Commission to honor one of the city's athletic icons. It is given to the most versatile player in college football. Last season's winner was former Dunbar and West Virginia star Tavon Austin – a player to whom Diggs is often compared.
Obviously, Diggs has a better chance to win the Hornung Award than the Maxwell (or the Heisman, for that matter) based on the kind of season many expect he and the Terps to have in 2013. His numbers last season – 54 catches for 848 yards and six touchdowns, 26 kickoff returns for 713 yards and two touchdowns – were among the best of any freshman in the country not named Johnny Manziel.
But Diggs is going to have to get the ball even more as a sophomore to come close to the season Austin had for the Mountaineers last year as a senior, when he finished with 114 catches for 1,289 yards and 12 touchdowns as well as nearly 1,000 return yards and two touchdowns.
For that to happen, there's going to have to be a significant upgrade at the quarterback position. While a healthy C.J. Brown will benefit from having players like Diggs and Deon Long to throw the ball to this season, I don't think anyone believes that Brown – or any of the other quarterbacks on the roster – is as talented as former Mountaineers star Geno Smith.
There's also a question of whether Randy Edsall is going to use Diggs to return as many punts and kickoffs as he did last season, given that he has other options this season, most prominently true freshman cornerback Will Likely.
I think for Diggs to stay in the conversation for the Hornung, the Terps are going to have to at least have a winning record. Austin won it last year with a team that finished 7-6 in its first year in the Big 12, but the Mountaineers were coming off a season when they crushed Clemson in the Orange Bowl behind a record-shattering performance by Austin. It's fair to say he was the favorite going into the season.
The Maxwell Award is an entirely different situation. The players who have won it recently are from nationally ranked programs, including many whose teams are competing for national championships. You have to go back to 1989 to find a player from a losing team, but Anthony Thompson was given it as much for what he did over his career as for what he accomplished that season for 5-6 Indiana.
I'm not saying I expect the Terps to have a losing record. I have stated a number of times that Edsall should have his first winning season since taking over for Ralph Friedgen. The one interesting thing about the Hornung Award is a little piece of trivia about the man for whom the award is named. He is the only player on a losing team to win the Heisman, when he played for Notre Dame in 1956.
Diggs certainly will have an opportunity to get himself some attention early in the season, when the Terps open with Florida International and Old Dominion at home, and then play in Baltimore against a rebuilding West Virginia team that finished 118thin the country (out of 120) in pass defense last season. He's on the list for both awards, and that stretch of opponents could get him in the serious conversation for at least one of them heading into Florida State in the fourth week of the season.
What's your take on the second-degree assault case against Maryland running back Wes Brown?
Jeff Barker: First of all, that Brown made an egregious mistake. The probable cause statement says the talented running back shoved a Baltimore police detective with two hands before taking off on foot. Where was he going to go? The statement says Brown admitted shoving the officer – even demonstrating later how he did it.
Baltimore police say Brown "is a person of interest in an open non-fatal shooting investigation from last month." His car has been linked to the shooting, and that's why police had arrived in College Park on the night of July 3 to question him.
But the confrontation raises some questions.
According to the statement, Brown had resisted going with the officers to headquarters. He is quoted as saying, "Why can't you question me here?" and asking that one of his parents be present.
Police seemed not to take "no" for answer. When Brown resisted accompanying the detectives to headquarters, the police statement says they moved to take him into custody.
I've spoken with people who know quite a bit more about the law than I do. They've raised the question of what grounds police would have at that point – before the alleged shove – to arrest Brown. If there wasn't an arrest warrant for Brown – and the police report makes no mention of him being served with one – then what had he done to compel his arrest?
I'm guessing police might make a case that grounds existed to detain Brown based on reasonable suspicion of his involvement in the Baltimore case. I don't know what his involvement is alleged to be -- or whether this would warrant detaining him.
We don't know much yet about the Baltimore shooting because the investigation is still ongoing. But it'll be interesting to see how Brown's assault case plays out.
How are Maryland's 2014 basketball commitments faring at the Reebok Breakout Classic in Philadelphia?
Matt Bracken: If the beginning of the July open period has taught us anything about Maryland's 2014 basketball recruiting class, it's probably this: there is nothing at all fluky about Melo Trimble's game. The Bishop O'Connell combo guard has been one of the top players thus far at the Reebok Breakout Classic in Phildelphia, continuing an outstanding year that has already seen him dominate the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference and play well for D.C. Assault on the spring circuit.
Through four games in Philly, Trimble is averaging 15.3 points, shooting 51 percent from the field and 60 percent from 3-point range. His top highlight so far was a 20-point performance where he shot 4-for-4 from beyond the arc.
Alex Schwartz, president of the excellent hoops scouting blog/service Northstar Basketball, has been on hand for all the action in Philly, and like most other analysts, has come away impressed after watching Trimble.
"Watching Melo, I happened to see his team play three times," Thursday, Schwartz said. "I'm sure he missed shots, but I just don't remember them. He's an elite, elite-level shooter. He's one of the best shooters in the country. I really think he's probably, at this point, better suited as a 2-guard who can help out and run the offense. He's a shooter – that's the primary aspect of his game. He has a really good frame, which helps him as well. I think he'll continue to develop and do a little bit more at the rim. His shot is just so good right now and he really understands [how to score]. He's just a very, very lethal player beyond the arc. If you give him space, he'll make you pay."
Though Trimble has tried over the past couple years to transition to the point, Schwartz thinks the future Terp is "a natural 2" who "can help at the point." With Roddy Peters coming in this year, that's probably not a bad thing for Maryland -- having a capable ballhandler whose best asset is simply making shots. While Schwartz acknowledged that Trimble, at 6 feet 2, might be "smaller than what you'd like from a prototypical Big Ten 2-guard," his shooting compensates for that, as well as a thicker frame that should allow him to "come in and play quite a bit" as a freshman.
Jared Nickens is also in Philly for the event, and while his play has been less consistent than Trimble's, the 6-foot-6 wing has opened some eyes.
"I saw Jared play [Thursday night] in one of the last games of the night," Schwartz said. "His shot wasn't really falling, but the thing I like about him is his progression as a player. I know he can shoot. That's not a question. If his shot is not falling, that happens. But he moves without the ball so much better. He's finding space in the open floor, cutting … and getting more comfortable attacking the basket. Talent isn't necessarily the question. It's just putting those things together, working on his passing game. He's putting it all together. His handle is better. It's really improving."
Nickens is averaging 9.3 points on 34 percent shooting (30 percent from 3-point range). His top game was an 18-point performance where he shot 4-for-7 from deep. Schwartz expects Nickens to get minutes as a freshman, but the lanky 3 still needs to add weight and strength. The most notable takeaway Schwartz had from watching Nickens is that he "keeps adding pieces to his offensive arsenal."
Schwartz also had a chance to check out one of Maryland's top post targets for 2014. Chinanu Onuaku -- who was profiled this week by InsideMDSports for this blog -- lived up to his reputation as a legitimate big man whose defensive game is further along than his offense.
"He has the size, 6-10, 6-11, and obviously it's tough to beat that," Schwartz said. "He's got a really good body with a good frame. He's not just one of those tall kids that is real overweight or too thin. He's got a good frame. He's an active kid, especially offensively around the rim. He's maybe not overly skilled right now, but it looks like he has the ability to pick it up at that level. ... I see a guy who has the ability to keep improving and he definitely showed some nice athleticism. He has been one of the better big men."

A rough, chilly stretch of days around last weekend produced few good fishing reports. But, two of the fish caught in the tough conditions were absolute jaw droppers.
A rough, chilly stretch of days around last weekend produced few good fishing reports. But, two of the fish caught in the tough conditions were absolute jaw droppers.
It seems that fish of rare size — or taken in unheard-of places — are seen more frequently these days. I'm rarely shocked any more when it comes to wild, almost unbelievable catches.
The following catch, however, is pretty darn shocking.
It seems that on Friday, Bobby Taylor was fishing in the Steinhatchee River when he hooked a sizable and hard-fighting fish. The Hickory, N.C. man had been in Steinhatchee for the Fiddler Crab Festival. As an avid fisherman, he was drawn to the water. Taylor picked up a few live pinfish from the Sea Hag Marina and found a place to cast them … a dock near the Steinhatchee bridge. At first, a few of the live baits became hung in rocks on the bottom. The resourceful angler found a stick just large enough to hold the pinfish above the snags, and tied it to his line. The stick did the trick. The strong and fast combatant took the pinfish and the battle was on.
The Carolina angler probably was surprised to catch an 11 1/2-pound striped bass. Maybe not as surprised, though, as some of us who have watched area catches for decades and never heard of a true striper coming from any Big Bend river.
And another exceptional bass catch made in freezing conditions Monday morning will set the legion of Florida bass fans on fire. Bob Williams of Alloway, N.J. was fishing on Rodman Reservoir with well-known guide, Sean Rush when a huge largemouth took his large shiner.
Once the monster bass was in the boat, Rush phoned the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to have it certified in the new TrophyCatch program. FWC personnel met Rush and Williams at the Rodman boat ramp to verify, certify, and document the capture of a 13.88-pound fish — the first to qualify in the TrophyCatch "Hall of Fame" class (13 pounds and over). Since October, 24 bass qualifying for "Trophy Club" status (between 10 and 12.99-pounds) have been verified and released, but the cold morning giant brought in by Williams and Rush is the first fish to garner Hall of Fame status.
As a Hall of Fame angler, Williams will receive a free fiberglass replica of his fish, plus a number of other nice prizes and gift cards. If the huge bass turns out to be the heaviest TrophyCatch bass of the year, much bigger prizes are in line.
After being checked out fully, the 27-inch long beauty was released in excellent shape near the spot where she was caught.
The bass that Jolie Ference caught last Monday might not make headlines like the previous two will, but it's certainly a fish she will always remember. Last Wednesday, Jolie was in the mood to catch a fish. The Melrose eleven year old had a nice head start, living on a Lake Santa Fe canal.
In her back yard, she had pulled in lots of bream … but never a bass. And on this day, Jolie was after the bigger game. She caught a little bream, put it on her hook and cast into the canal. Before long, she was fast to a fine six-pound bigmouth. Once she landed the feisty whopper, her dad, Joey photographed her with it. Then Jolie slipped her first-ever bass back into the canal.
Someone driving by the Newnans Lake boat ramps that had in recent weeks been crowded would assume that the annual speck spawn is finished. Following a few breezy and chilly days, the parking lots were largely deserted much of this week. Wednesday, Capt. Joe Richard set out to see if the specks had, indeed, vacated the spawning shallows.
Scouting for an upcoming guide trip, the Gainesville angler slid his canoe in on the west side a bit after 2:00 p.m. On a nice afternoon with only a couple of other boats on the lake, Capt. Joe cast little crappie jigs with white curly tails. It wasn't long before he had his answer.
The specks are still shallow. In brush standing in water 3-to-4 feet deep, he pulled in 17 nice fish before 5:00. Most appeared to be darkly-colored male fish. With the full moon arriving Monday, the crappie spawn might be winding down — but it's not finished.
Gary Simpson, a veteran tournament angler, operates Gary's Tackle Box at L & S Auto Trim.

With one long-standing iPhone rumor finally confirmed, another is getting under way.
Apple has reportedly added several new component suppliers ahead of the development of the iPhone 5.
DigiTimes reports that Apple will spread the construction of its new smartphone out across several suppliers, with some suggesting that the move will allow the iPhone maker to offer more features, such as a rumored social media component called "Media Stream."
But one thing is for sure about the next generation iPhone: You won't find a prototype laying around at any Bay Area bars.
Apple has reportedly gotten serious about its secrecy again and hired former U.S. Naval cryptology officer and NSA global network vulnerability analyst David Rice to work as the company's director of security.
And in true retro Apple fashion the company has not confirmed the report or returned reporters' calls for comment.
Rice graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and has a master's degree in Information Warfare and Systems Engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School.
Apple Hires NSA Security Expert Ahead of iPhone 5 Development

If the length of the barrel is 16' or greater it will be a rifle. Barrel length determines rife/pistol catagory, unless it's an SBR. I found this question posted elsewhere and I believe it is correct:
I understand that according to the BATFE a rifle's overall length ?Efor a rifle with a folding stock ?Eis to be measured with the stock extended. I have seen a number of examples that would tend to support this but I cannot find anything in the United States Code, the Federal Register, or any published letters from the BATF/E to support this.
I also see on this site where James Bardwell has been quoted as stating this to be a fact. I understand that 27 CFR 179.11 states that the "extreme ends"of the weapon are to be measured but I am looking for an official recognition that this means "with the stock extended".
If it were to be registered as a pistol you would have to remove the buttstock and make it so one could not be attached at anytime in the future.
I think you are getting the run around from your dealer
Call Century or better yet the BATF and get a letter from them stating this is correct.

Office hours on high
More than 11 000 medical professionals are registered with the Lufthansa Doctor on Board program. Three physicians each describe an incident above the clouds.
Prof. Dr. Günther Faust
General practitioner, Mainz, Germany
Just recently, on a flight to Philadelphia, I treated a flight attendant whose face suddenly swelled up. Known as Quincke's edema, this kind of thing is usually caused by an allergic reaction, so I gave her an antihistamine injection. The swelling went down, but she was released from duty for the rest of the flight. Most emergencies can be dealt with quite well on board a plane. Once, however, I had to ask the plane to land. That was twenty years ago. An 85-year-old man suddenly complained of a sharp pain in his chest. My diagnosis: angina pectoris, insufficient blood flow to the heart, which in a worst-case scenario can lead to a heart attack. The first thing I did was give him Nitrolingual – to widen the coronary blood vessels. We were flying from Germany to Greece and still had a few hours ahead of us. I was aware, of course, that an unscheduled landing would be very expensive, but in an emergency of this kind, priority is given to a passenger's health. The captain landed in Vienna, where the man was immediately rushed to hospital. Three days later, he was well enough to be discharged.
Dr. Argyrios velenis
Internist/diabetologist/emergency physician, Drama, Greece
It all happened very fast. One minute the person in the seat beside me was completely relaxed, the next minute he was seizing up, he rolled his eyes, clamped his jaw and swallowed his tongue. He could have suffocated. Luckily for him, I was sitting right next to him on this flight from Frankfurt to Mallorca and immediately recognized his symptoms as those of an epileptic fit. I loosened his jaw and tilted his head and neck back so that he could breathe, thus saving his life. I have been a member of the Doctor on Board program since 2009 and in that time have helped quite a few passengers. One of them was a toddler with a very high fever. Why? It was just a relatively harmless case of flu. A Paracetamol suppository from the doctor's kit soon did the trick. On two occasions, I also had a flight attendant call me over to a diabetic suffering from low blood sugar, who was almost unconscious. In both cases, they had made a mistake with their insulin injections because they had forgotten to factor in the time change. I gave each of them an injection of glucagon to raise their glucose levels and 20 minutes later, they felt fine again.
Dr. Frank Giordano
Radiation oncologist, Mannheim, Germany
Fortunately, very few emergencies actually arise on board, and I have never experienced any myself. More often, passengers suffer from harmless complaints or illnesses. I experienced the same scenario on two different transatlantic flights, one to New York and one to Washington. In each case, a woman collapsed, her legs giving way as she was returning from the lavatory. Other symptoms were nausea and vomiting. Both women had probably eaten something that didn't agree with them and not drunk enough liquids. They soon felt better once they had taken the simple medication I gave them from the emergency kit. The psychological effect of something like that happening has to be addressed as well. Both women were very agitated, and one of them was afraid the plane might have to land on her account. I introduced myself as a physician and told her everything would be all right – and the woman immediately seemed much calmer. The good news for airline passengers is that doctors travel more often than people in other professions. There is almost always at least one medical professional on board long-haul flights, in particular. What really impressed me on both occasions was how calm the flight attendants remained, immediately passing me the doctor's kit and handing me the appropriate medication without a moment's hesitation.
In a medical emergency, time is of the essence whether it arises below or above the clouds. Lufthansa's Doctor on Board program was set up to provide aid in those all-important first few minutes. Once a physician has signed up to the program, the flight attendants on board always know exactly where he or she is seated in order to be able to locate them as quickly as possible in an emergency. The Lufthansa Doctor on Board program is the largest of its kind, with 11 000 members, many of whom have attended special courses on providing emergency care above the clouds. A doctor's kit containing professional medical equipment, various instruments and different types of medication is also on board. Physicians receive a mileage credit and a voucher code for their next flight in return for their services, and the airline also assumes all liability for any medical treatment errors.
Physicians are welcome to sign up any time at:

After the numerous leaks in the last one month, Sony Ericsson announced the Xperia Play along with a bunch of other Xperia branded handsets at their on-going event in MWC, Barcelona. The handset is powered by a 1 GHz Snapdragon processor with the Adreno 205 GPU core handling the graphics department.
The handset sports a 4-inch LCD with a resolution of 854×480. The Xperia Play is a PlayStation Certified' handset and runs on Android 2.3 Gingerbread with Sony's custom UI on top of it.
As evident from the picture above, the Play will sport a slide-out gamepad to fulfill all your on-the-move gaming needs. The Xperia Play will come pre-loaded with one legendary PlayStation game. The name of the game was not mentioned by Sony, so this remains a mystery for now.
The back of the handset will feature a 5MP camera. The Xperia Play will start shipping from next month i.e. March. The handset will hit the Verizon network in the states in early spring.
Here is a video of the Xperia Play in action -:
Along with the Xperia Play, Sony Ericsson also announced the PlayStation Suite. All handsets which will be PlayStation Certified' will be able to access the PlayStation store which will be launched by Sony, later this year.
The PlayStation Store will launch with more than 50 titles on-board. Some existing gaming titles will also be optimized for the PlayStation Certified platform.

Quite happy with your recipe, and it's ingredients as they are. May I just say "Go Southeast High" - My school in Lincoln. Now in Palm Springs CA area.

This is far too heavy. It needs the whole egg to lighten it up. More like a thick pudding and not a pie filling. It also needs twice the amount of each spice except for the cloves or the cinnamon. We prefer using the origina Carnation condensed low fat milk give a lovely light texture. We also use Splenda in some of the pies and regular sugar in others. Both seem equal in the product texture.We will stick with our usual and I make 8 just for Thanksgiving dinner.Enjoy Thanksgiving which ever pie you make; but enjoy PUMPKIN all year round...afterall...it is a vegetable

Ariana Grande Is Over Miley Cyrus Comparisonsby Mandi Salerno | PopCrush
Ariana Grande may have had a similar start to Miley Cyrus, kicking off her career on a popular TV show, but that doesn't mean she's following in Miley's footsteps.
The 21-year-old singer told the Daily Star: "There are so many comparisons for girls in this industry, it's annoying. I'm not thinking, 'Miley Cyrus is doing this so I ought to do this too.' We are all trying to do our own things and be successful in our right."
The 'Problem' star is certainly doing things her own way, smashing records that haven't been broken in a long time by anyone her age.
"In the past month things have changed drastically in my life," she revealed. "I can't go out with a little bun on my head and no makeup anymore."
And with her newfound fame has come a new, matured image. Between her mod mini dresses and knee-high white boots, she's no longer the red-haired teen on Nickelodeon's 'Victorious,' that's for sure.
"I'm always excited by people evolving, changing and growing up," Ariana shared. "I just get to showcase it on stage."
What do you think, Arianators + PopCrushers? Are you over the Miley comparisons, too?

Nashville, Tenn. – The Tennessee State men's basketball team has announced its upcoming schedule for the 2013-14 season. The slate includes 14 non-conference matchups, nine of which will be on the road.
"As our program moves forward, we wanted to play some of the toughest competition in the country and I think we did that," head coach Travis Williams said. "We also wanted to let our student-athletes see different parts of the country and experience things that they have never experienced before."
After a tune-up exhibition against Lemoyne-Owen at home on Nov.4, the Tigers will begin the regular season in Honolulu, Hawai'i for the Rainbow Classic. TSU will play host Hawai'i on Nov. 8, New Mexico State Nov. 9 and Western Michigan Nov. 11.
"The Rainbow Classic is a very well-respected tournament and Hawai'i, New Mexico State and Western Michigan are very good programs that had winning records last season," Williams said.
Following the trip to the paradise islands, the Tigers will go to Kansas for a tilt at 2012-13 Final Four team Wichita State on Nov. 16 before coming home to face cross-town rival Lipscomb on Nov. 18.
"Coach Marshall at Wichita State has taken that program to the highest level and they were just one game short of the National Championship. I'm excited about our guys playing a team of that caliber," Williams said.
TSU will then hit the road for contests at Tennessee (Nov. 22), Auburn (Nov. 26), USC Upstate (Nov. 30), Drexel (Dec. 7) and Illinois State (Dec. 19). Sandwiched in-between those matchups are home games versus Alabama A&M on Dec. 3 and Fisk on Dec. 15.
The Tigers will play host for the remaining non-conference contests when Miami (Ohio) and former TSU coach John Cooper come to town on Dec. 21 and Middle Tennessee State visits the Gentry Center on Jan. 7.
"I'm looking forward to catching up with Coach Cooper," Williams said. "I was his top assistant when he was here, and I thank him for that, but it will be a different experience coaching against him."
TSU will start Ohio Valley Conference play on the road at Eastern Illinois (Dec. 28). The remaining road OVC matchups are Southeast Missouri State (Jan. 11), UT Martin (Jan. 13), Jacksonville State (Jan. 16), Tennessee Tech (Jan. 30), Belmont (Feb. 13), Morehead State (Feb. 27) and Eastern Kentucky (March 1).
The home schedule for conference games includes Tennessee Tech (Jan. 2), Jacksonville State (Jan. 4), Belmont (Jan. 18), Eastern Kentucky (Jan. 23), Morehead State (Jan. 25), Austin Peay (Feb. 6), Murray State (Feb. 8) and SIUE (Feb. 20).
"The level of competition in this conference is incredible, and any team can win on any given night," Williams said. "Our team will have to be physically and mentally prepared for each and every game."
This year's Ohio Valley Conference Tournament will be held at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville from March 5-8.

The Creation Of The Universe
The Basic Concepts in the Qur'an
Not Pursuing Personal Benefits
Striving purely in obedience to the Will of Allah, and not seeking self-interests are clear manifestations of sincere faith. A believer who is well aware that all favours are given to him by Allah and who accordingly offers sincere devotion to Him and fears Him, would surely never pursue minor personal profit while striving in Allah's cause.
Seeking personal benefits from one's services in the way of Allah can never tally with one's faith. A person who is conscious of the existence of Allah and the Hereafter would definitely attach no importance to simple benefits and, at the behest of Allah, would never try to satisfy his own desires. Conversely, those who confine themselves to a world of minor interests, ideas and thoughts only degrade themselves.
The Qur'an repeatedly reminds believers not to seek any personal benefits in service rendered for the cause of Allah. All the prophets referred to in the Qur'an communicated the message of Allah without asking for any reward in return. Some of the verses extolling this virtue of the messengers are as follows:
To the 'Ad People We sent Hud, one of their own brethren. He said: "O my people! worship Allah! you have no other god but Him. Your other gods are mere inventions. "O my people! I ask of you no reward for this message. My reward can be from none but my Creator. Will you not then understand?" (Hud, 50-51)
As the verses suggest, no worldly gain is aimed at in the struggle made for the cause of Allah. A believer does not aim to have a lot of money or attain great status or appreciation of other people—also considered as worldly gain—in return for his services to Allah. The only end is approval of Allah. However, provided that Allah wills, He grants victory, relief and favours to believers in this world.
Consequently, the value of the services rendered for the cause of Allah depends not on the appreciation of people but on the intention, namely the will to earn the pleasure of Allah. All through their lives, messengers unceasingly communicated the message of Allah to their people. There have been many messengers who were neither appraised nor obeyed, but rather opposed. However, this is, by no means, a "failure" on their part. In the Qur'anic sense, success is actually not to impress people but to earn the pleasure of Allah. A believer is responsible for praying, building up his consciousness of Allah through reflection, and being a servant to Him. The decision on victory, on the other hand, rests with Allah. A believer should fulfill his own duty and not question what is destined for Him.
Those who follow the good pleasure of Allah ceaselessly worship Him. Believers are fully aware that this world has an alluring, yet deceptive nature. That is why, money, luxury cars, opulent houses, jewels, precious stones, prestige and status never impress them. This is in accordance with Allah's commands in the Qur'an:
And keep your soul content with those who call on their Lord morning and evening, seeking His pleasure. Do not let your eyes pass beyond them, seeking the pomp and glitter of this Life; nor obey any whose heart We have permitted to neglect the remembrance of Us, one who follows his own desires, whose case has gone beyond all bounds. (Al-Kahf, 28)
One point is important here: in one's approach to religion, one should ask, "what other services can I perform to earn the pleasure of Allah?" rather than "how can I benefit from religion?" The latter approach would indicate sheer insincerity. In the Qur'an, those assuming such a cunning attitude are defined as hypocrites. These are the people who pretend to be faithful and simply make use of religion to satisfy their selfish ambitions. Actually, they are the type of people who deserve the fire and severe punishment in the hereafter. In the Qur'an, Allah gives an account of their case:
They declare: "We believe in Allah and in the messenger, and we obey." but no sooner do they utter these words than some of them turn away: they are not (really) believers. When they are summoned to Allah and His messenger, in order that He may judge between them, behold some of them decline (to come). Had right been on their side, they would have come to him in all submission. (Al-Noor, 47-49)
As is apparent from the verse, hypocrites do admit to belief if there is anything to their interest but later retract. These people may look like devoted believers for some time, but, as the Qur'an puts it, they are actually those who "lay their foundation on an undermined cliff ready to crumble to pieces."
Which then is better? - one who laid his foundation on piety to Allah and His good pleasure? - or one who laid his foundation on an undermined sand-cliff ready to crumble to pieces? and it did crumble to pieces with him, into the fire of Hell. And Allah does not guide people who do wrong. (At-Tawba, 109)
There are numerous other verses in the Qur'an which stress the significance of gaining the pleasure of Allah:
Is the man who follows the good pleasure of Allah like the man who draws on himself the wrath of Allah, and whose abode is in Hell?- A woeful refuge! (Al-Imran, 162)
A believer's ultimate purpose is to earn the good pleasure of Allah and to attain heaven.
Therefore while referring to the believers, Allah says: "Indeed, We chose them for a special purpose—proclaiming the Message of the Hereafter." (Sad, 46) Indeed, remembrance of the hereafter is the essential attribute of a believer.
The real grace and favours that a believer would like to attain exist in the hereafter. This world is a temporary residence for believers; more importantly, the blessings of this world are inherently limited and temporary. With these features, this world actually offers an incomplete example of the hereafter. It is indeed created as a reminder of the hereafter.
Fair in the eyes of men are the love of things they covet: women and sons; heaped-up hoards of gold and silver; horses branded (for blood and excellence); and wealth in cattle and well-tilled land. Such are the possessions of this world's life; but in nearness to Allah is the best of goals. (Al-E-Imran, 14)
A believer takes the benefit of the goods and favours of this life. But in the course of doing so, he keeps himself occupied with the remembrance of Allah and the hereafter, and never forgets his real purpose in life. Allah warns believers against the alluring nature of the things in this world:
Say: If it be that your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your mates, or your kindred; the wealth that you have gained; the commerce in which you fear a decline: or the dwellings in which you delight - are dearer to you than Allah, or His Messenger, or the striving in His cause; then wait until Allah shall fulfil His decree. Allah does not guide the rebellious. (Al-Tawba, 24)
In the Surat al-Jumua, Allah informs us about an attitude believers should avoid:
No sooner do they see some bargain or some amusement, than they disperse headlong to it, and leave you (the prophet) standing. Say: "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! and Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)." (Al-Jumua, 11)

Lawrence III
|Lawrence III
(ジラルダン Gelardan)
|Orange Islands
|Late 30's, Early 40's
|Mother (Deceased)
|Pokémon Collector
|Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One
Lawrence III is the main antagonist that appeared in Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One. He calls himself a "collector", but many see him as a Pokémon poacher more then a collector, although it seems that he didn't have any Pokémon of his own before capturing the Legendary Birds. He travels in a gigantic airship that houses his collection of artifacts, although his most prized treasure is his Ancient Mew card, which was also the first object in his collection. His goal is to capture Lugia and add it to his collection. By the end of the movie, he finds his Mew card and mutters "How it all began, and how it will begin all over again", implying that he will try again to catch Legendary Pokemon to his collection. He hasn't been heard of again although at the credits of Pokemon Heroes, Annie and Oakley were seen looking at a picture of him.
Appearance[edit | edit source]
Lawrence III is in his late 30 or early 40. He has green hair with two lopes coming down either sides. He has purple eyes and is rather tall.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Lawrence III survived the Flying Palace destruction and defeated by Lugia using Aeroblast to destroy the Flying Palace.
- Lawrence III appeared near the end of Pokémon Heroes the Movie in a magazine that Annie and Oakley were reading.

T-Mobile reported that it lost 706,000 customers in the last quarter of 2011, blaming the exodus on the carrier not having Apple's iPhone 4S.
It also said that its prepaid, pay-as-you-go plan received 220,000 new subscribers -- but those tend to be low spenders, according to the Next Web. In short, the T-Mobile report was disheartening and seemed to drive home the point that if T-Mobile had an iPhone, its fortunes would have turned.
"Not carrying the iPhone led to a significant increase in contract deactivations in the fourth quarter of 2011," said Philipp Humm, chief executive of T-Mobile USA.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
But would it? As T-Mobile, which is owned by Deutsche Telekom AG, noted in its release:
On March 20, 2011, Deutsche Telekom AG and AT&T Inc. entered into a definitive agreement under which AT&T proposed to acquire T-Mobile USA from Deutsche Telekom in a cash and stock transaction valued at approximately $39 billion, subject to adjustment in accordance with the agreement. In the third quarter of 2011, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a complaint in the Federal District Court for the District of Columbia to block the acquisition. On November 24, 2011, AT&T and Deutsche Telekom withdrew their pending applications at the Federal Communications Commission for the transfer of T-Mobile USA spectrum licenses to AT&T as part of AT&T's acquisition of T-Mobile USA.
The whole deal imploded on Dec. 20 with AT&T giving T-Mobile's parent company $3 billion to slip the noose. It's still unclear what happened -- although it's likely because AT&T received negative information about the deal or T-Mobile itself. If the DOJ was never going to let it happen, it would make sense that AT&T would cut its losses. (And T-Mobile is using those billions and spectrum to make upgrades to its network, including LTE.)
So, while some of the customers may have left because they couldn't get an iPhone, others likely left because they didn't want to be part of AT&T or other customer service-related reasons. While it's easy to pin the reason for hundreds of thousands of customers leaving on an outside force, the real reason was probably something a lot closer to home.

Coach is evaluating personnel during bowl game.
Illinois football coach Tim Beckman won't take full control of the team until Jan. 16. A team meeting is already called for 7 a.m. that day.
Or, as Beckman puts it, that's 6:50 on Illini time. Until then, he's evaluating effort and ability while the Illini (6-6) prepare to meet UCLA (6-7) in the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl on Dec. 31 (2:30 p.m., ESPN) in San Francisco.
If there's any reason to be excited to play -- other than ending a six-game losing streak or winning back-to-back bowl games for the first time in school history -- it's the chance to put your best foot forward for a new coach.
"What a great opportunity to start your resume,'' Beckman said. "Change is sometimes uneasy, but change is also good. Everyone is on a level playing field. You have the oppportunity to showcase what you can do.''
Beckman will attend the bowl game and liked what he's seen, thus far.
"I know they're excited about being in back-to-back bowl games,'' Beckman said. "I'm eager to coach this season. There are players who are eager to win, finish and do the things necessary to be champions. I'm really excited, from what I've seen so far.''
Beckman was busy recruiting the Illini locker room as well as high school seniors. He communicated with all previous 14 players who verbally committed to the Illini, and Beckman changed his course and will attempt to recruit a handful of Toledo commitments.
"If they're interested in us, we'll definitely talk to them,'' Beckman said.
Beckman attended some practices and met individually with every player. He won't be afraid to play two quarterbacks, Beckman said, just like he did at Toledo, and Beckman was already busy working on four talented juniors who have a chance to jump to the NFL.
Beckman and Illini-heads wait for an announcement from junior Whitney Mercilus. The winner of the Hendricks Trophy to the nation's top defensive end, Mercilus will likely jump to the NFL draft, according to draft experts. He won't make a decision until after getting an evaluation from the NFL, said Mercilus, who has one prerequisite to leave.
"It would be the first round,'' he said. "If you're projected in the first round, that's when you have to go. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.''
Bandit Michael Buchanan, defensive tackle Akeem Spence and cornerback Terry Hawthorne were other candidates to leave early, Beckman said, but Buchanan appeared set on improvements for his senior season.
"That's good,'' Buchanan said. "It brings competition. Everybody is working. Nobody's spot is set. My spot isn't set. I'm not guaranteed being a starter next year. It's pretty good. It pushes everybody to get better everyday.
"I want to put on more weight, maybe 10 pounds. I'm working on being a better pass rusher. There's no part of my game I can't improve.''
Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase started every game the past two seasons, but Beckman's staff also knows backup Reilly O'Toole. As a Wheaton Warrenville South star, O'Toole's first scholarship offer came from Toledo. Interim coach Vic Koenning said both quarterbacks would play in the bowl game.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: After a nine-game road trip 8,610 miles, the Illini return to Assembly for the first time since Nov. 15 for games against Alabama A&M Wednesday and the Big Ten opener against Michigan Friday.
The Illini (5-7) faced the ninth toughest schedule, according to one RPI simulation.
NOTABLE: Senior defender Jenna Carosio earned second-team academic All-American by the coaches association. Carosio has a 3.79 grade-point average in engineering. The academic all-Big Ten pick was also a first-team all-Big Ten selection and the league's defender of the year. . .
