LAFAYETTE - Mark Hudspeth's plan to make the University of Louisiana at Lafayette football team a winner again appears to be ahead of schedule, but don't ask him about it.
At least, not now.
"You can ask me that in about the next eight weeks, yeah, after eight weeks," Hudspeth said Monday at his weekly news conference when asked if his rebuilding plan was ahead of schedule. "Right now, it's still early to tell. We're so young, so immature."
Try telling that to Florida International, the preseason Sun Belt Conference favorite, whom the Cajuns shocked Saturday in their league opener 36-31.
The Cajuns (3-1) are off to the best start since the 1988 team began 4-0.
Although Hudspeth won't speculate on the timetable of his turnaround, he will say changing the Cajuns' mindset has occurred quicker than he had thought. That, he said, played a huge role Saturday.
"I feel like our kids are believing (in themselves ) and (us) having to change that mindset, I think, we've done that faster than I thought we would," he said.
Case in point: halftime Saturday.
"Coming into a locker room when you are down or you're only ahead by one (point) to the defending champions, it's easy to come in and say ?well, we hung with them for a little while and did our best, but they'll probably come back and get us.' Well, we didn't have that attitude," Hudspeth said. "We went in that locker room, and those guys were absolutely madder than you can possibly imagine, because we felt like we had dominated that first half and gave them that quick score right before halftime.
"They were as mad as I've ever seen and came out absolutely determined to win that football game."
Led by quarterback Blaine Gautier, who threw for 221 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries, ULL had a season-high 419 yards and outscored the Panthers 21-17 after halftime.
Hudspeth praised Gautier, who started for the first time since the season opener at Oklahoma State.
"You could tell that he was very confident, made some great decisions," he said. "He didn't execute the first two plays of the game very well, but after that, I thought he managed the game extremely well. He was 15 out of 30 (passing) but he had eight drops."
Hudspeth is hoping for a repeat performance Saturday as Florida Atlantic (0-3) visits to start a three-game SBC homestand. After FAU, ULL hosts SBC power Troy, and then North Texas, a 24-21 winner over Big Ten member Indiana last weekend.
The Cajuns are 0-3 at home against FAU.
"You definitely don't sustain momentum by playing your next game and not showing up and playing hard and as good as you have," Hudspeth said.
That, said Hudspeth, is going to be the challenge this week.
"First of all, you've got young kids that don't know how to do it and then you have veterans that have never done it," Hudspeth said. "And so it's going to be a huge challenge to maintain this momentum."

Wernicke encephalopathy is a syndrome characterised by ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, nystagmus, confusion, and impairment of short-term memory.
It is caused by lesions in the medial thalamic nuclei, mammillary bodies, periaqueductal and periventricular brainstem nuclei, and superior cerebellar vermis, often resulting from inadequate intake or absorption of thiamine (vitamin B1), especially in conjunction with carbohydrate ingestion.
It is most commonly correlated with prolonged alcohol consumption resulting in thiamine deficiency. Alcoholics are therefore particularly at risk, but it may also occur with thiamine deficiency states arising from other causes, particularly in patients with such gastric disorders as carcinoma, chronic gastritis, Crohn's disease, and repetitive vomiting, particularly after bariatric surgery.
Wernicke's encephalopathy was one of the possible explanations for Rebecca Adler's symptoms but she turned out to be negative for it.

|Roman Catholic
|Jozef Tiso
Slovakia, officially called the Slovak Republic (Slovenská republika) or Slovak State (Slovenský štát), was a country in central Europe formed in 1939 following the German annexation of part of Czechoslovakia.
May 1939
The dominant political party in newly-independent Slovakia was the Slovak People's Party, led by President Jozef Tiso. After the short war between Slovakia and Hungary, the Slovak Army underwent major reforms. The Commander-in-chief of the Army became General Augustín Malár, a former Czechoslovak military officer.
Josef Tiso signed into law that all Slovak males need to undergo a minimum of two years of military service. He also asked Germany for several Bf-109 fighters for the Slovak Air Force.
June 1939
In June 1939, the army had 40,000 personnel. It began producing more Skoda Lt vz-35 tanks. The government-controlled media gradually began to cease anti-Hungarian messages around that time.
When Italy and Bulgaria invaded Yugoslavia in the middle of that month, Tiso and the government announced that Slovakia would remain neutral. The army was deployed to the borders to maintain additional security.
Later in the month, the Slovak Army had 50,000 personnel. The Slovak government requested to formally join the Axis powers.
July 1939
Slovakia spent much of early July 1939 requesting to join the Axis fully.
When its request was accepted in the middle of the month, Slovakia attempted to urge Bulgaria and Yugoslavia to come to an agreement and to not go to war. By that point, the army had reached a total of 60,000 personnel.
August 1939
When Poland demanded that Slovakia be annexed to it, the Slovak Army was mobilized to the northern regions (around 60,700 men total). Men between 16-60 were called up for service, forming a 25,000-man Bratislava Defense Army. Slovak diplomats asked Germany to intervene on their side.

text: I got one of the standard blue OCBD's today. I ordered it last week via phone from the New York store. Shipping was only about 7ish bucks (as opposed to $21 for one shirt from Japan) and the service, as has been stated, was excellent. The roll is perfect, the fit is slim and comfortable, and the fabric is good for the price. I only wish they had more patterns and colorways available. As for the specifics of the fit I normally wear BB ESF in small which is a just a tad tight in the chest and a wee bit loose in the arms. The Tokyo Slim 15/33.5 fits like a glove.

On May 18, 2010, fans of The CW series 90210 were left with their jaws hanging to the ground after witnessing the shocking season finale episode. "Confessions" drew in a magnitude of 1.6 million viewers along for the ride, but tonight that magnitude is about to get even stronger as West Beverly Hills High students enter their senior year with a new ground shattering adventure that will bring even more questions to the table and leave viewers standing there agape, yet again.
If you look up the definition of "drama" in the dictionary you will find the perfect description of the show. The third season starts with a bang and is prepared to take viewers for a long ride throughout he trials and tribulations of being a senior at West Beverly Hills High. "There is an earthquake in the first episode that shakes everything up," said Ryan Eggold.
There are a lot of changes in store for many of the characters in the upcoming third season, which premieres tonight on The CW. "(In the) second season, he went through some kind of turbulence and he started drinking and indulging, kind of his own depression, his own self-pity, his own woe-is-me," Eggold told us of his character Ryan Matthews. "Now he is having a baby with Jen, so I think it has really knocked some sense into him and he's kind of cleaned up his act and he's ready to grow up and become a father."
During the finale last season, Ryan Matthews received the shocking news that he was about to become a father to none other than Jen's baby. With parenthood comes many obstacles that will not be easy, especially for Ryan and Jen. "(He) picks up the books and starts reading and learns how to become a good parent," Eggold explained. "Jen is kind of into herself and it's hard for her to be a good parent. I think she needs Ryan to kind of knock some sense into her."
While Ryan and Jen are forced to reunite under these circumstances, don't expect to see a relationship develop anytime soon. Kelly Lynch will be returning to the show this season, which is likely to become quite the triangle of emotions now that Jen is having Ryan's baby. The Kardashians make a special appearance on tonights episode, check out this clip below and tune into The CW tonight to catch the season premiere of 90210.
Keep reading for the official episode summary of tonights episode, along with a photog allery below.
In the season three premiere, Beverly Hills is rocked by an earthquake. Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) has spent the summer dealing with the aftermath of her rape by Mr. Cannon (guest star Hal Ozban, "Californication"), Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Dixon (Tristan Wilds) are dealing with the absence of their father while Debbie (Lori Loughlin) tries to hold the family together. Teddy (Trevor Donovan) and Silver (Jessica Stroup) find themselves happier than ever until he suffers an injury that could end his tennis career. Navid (Michael Steger) welcomes Adrianna (Jessica Lowndes) back from her summer tour with Javier (guest star Diego Boneta), but their arrival brings an unexpected death. Ivy (Gillian Zinser) and Dixon return from their summer vacation in Australia, while Annie and Liam (Matt Lanter) discover their friendship may be best if it ends.

Claim Rosie's Profile
[email protected]
An Academy Award, Golden Globe and Emmy nominated actress and choreographer Rosie Perez was stealing eyes with riveting dramatic performances since the 90s in Spike Lee's renowned classic "Do the Right Thing," Ron Shelton's White Men Can't Jump, and Peter Weir's Fearless.
The past year proved very busy for Rosie Perez as she returned to Broadway for the highly-successful Fish in the Dark with Larry David.
On the big screen, her performance in Peter Weir's Fearless garnered her a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination. Perez's film credits include Spike Lee's Do the Right Thing and Andrew Bergman's It Could Happen to You, among many others. She received rave reviews for her performance in The Ritz and made her Broadway debut in the hit revival of Terence McNally's Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune.
Perez received critical acclaim for her directorial debut, Yo Soy Boricua Pa'que Tu Lo Sepas!, a documentary which celebrates Puerto Rican pride.
Throughout her career, Perez has been a vocal activist for a number of causes and serves as the Artistic Board Chair for Urban Arts Partnership. Rosie details her childhood upbringing and career in her book, Handbook for an Unpredictable Life: How I Survived Sister Renata and My Crazy Mother, and Still Came Out Smiling (with Great Hair).

Yo Soy Boricua
After trying to respond every time somebody made an ignorant remark about Puerto Rico and her people, Rosie Perez decided it was time to educate the world about the rich and important history of her homeland. This led to the creation of the documentary Yo Soy Boricua, Pa' Que Tu Lo Sepas! (I'm Boricua, Just So You Know!)
Featuring Perez (who is director and executive producer), her family and friends, Yo Soy Boricua, is both broad history lesson and personal tale. In fact, a lot of it feels like a home movie about a little girl who grew up beyond poor in Bushwick but learned self-respect from the aunt who never let her forget where she came from. Featuring historical footage and interviews with leading Puerto Rican leaders, educators and artists, Perez has captured the intricate, often conflicted, but enduring relationship between the United States and Puerto Rico.
