According to Android and Me, taking information from a trusted source (the same individual that shared info on the LG Nexus), Android 4.2 is going to include a large number of changes. The most exciting rumored improvements are a new Customization Center, revamped Nexus program, and battery-saving Project Roadrunner. We already know what to expect from the next Nexus device, but until now Android 4.2 rumors have been a scarce commodity.
Customization Center
The alleged new Customization Center provides a central place where users can change languages, backgrounds, launchers, ringtones, etc. The options can be expanded via Google Play as well, but this announcement alone is nothing more than a convenience for users who frequently play with these settings. However, there are two unique features rumored to be included: filters that modify the entire look of the UI and templates that change the appearance of all icons.
But the truly drool-worthy feature is the ability to switch from custom skins like TouchWiz and Sense into stock Android through the Customization Center. If the manufacturer doesn't provide a compatible version of its modified UI then the device defaults to stock Android. To make it crystal clear, we will no longer have to wait on manufacturers to upgrade to the latest version of Android.
Nexus Program
The new Nexus program has Google dictating certain hardware requirements for devices wishing to be Nexus-certified. The devices won't need to carry the Nexus title in their name, rather it will be a stamp of approval from Google. The rumored requirements will force new smartphones to ship with stock Android and pack sufficient power to run mobile games made specifically for the Nexus brand. In addition, each Google-approved device will need to support Google Wallet through built-in NFC.
The new program will certainly offer incentive for Android-focused companies like HTC and Samsung. Besides the prestige that comes along with the Nexus brand, the devices will feature a new media streaming service offered via Google Play and access to games that will only function on Nexus products. There are no details on the streaming service yet.
Project Roadrunner and Minor Improvements
The successor to Project Butter, Roadrunner will focus on improving battery life but not much else is known about it. Updates to Google Play are being teased with new features like integration with the notification center, extra billing options, easier in-app purchases, and personalization. Google Now is rumored to bring basic OS function control and the stock video player will supposedly see a major redesign and allow 3rd party services to tie into it.
The sheer number of improvements and changes seems to be a lot for an incremental update (from 4.1 to 4.2) so we wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being version 5.0, but we're not ruling anything out. The Nexus program is particularly exciting as Android has always been most compelling in its classic trappings.
What do you think of the rumored upgrades? Would you add anything else to Google's mobile baby?

We may earn commission from companies mentioned on this blog, however our praise cannot be bought!
This week, I had an opportunity to speak to a representative from Expat & Offshore, a specialist team of expat experts, about the implications of moving to Portugal during your retirement years. I hope the following interview is of interest to those in that situation.
Who are you and what do you do?
We are Expat & Offshore, a community of expats living all around the world. We help to educate, explain and inform expatriates on all aspects of offshore personal finance and help them make the most of the unique opportunities available to people living abroad.
What is the first thing I should do on arriving in Portugal to plan for my retirement?
Expats moving to Portugal from their home countries will have access to opportunities not available to the peers they left behind. For example if they have a pension that they have been paying into back in the UK they may be able to transfer this offshore.
I've heard about a QROPS. What is it and could it help someone like me?
QROPS stands for Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme and is one way to gain access to a paid up UK pension. It is the set of rules put in place by the HMRC that govern such transfers and is suitable for UK citizens who are no longer resident in the UK.
If your circumstances qualify for a QROPS it is possible to transfer one of more UK pensions to a jurisdiction with an ideal tax environment allowing an even more comfortable income in retirement.
I became an expat to enjoy my life in the sun! Why should I care about offshore pensions?
It is easy to become comfortable with your pension provision when living in the UK with often generous company pension contributions and a state pension to fall back on. However, expats living in Portugal need to think carefully about their impending retirement years with a different situation in their new home.
With expat pension plans there's normally no minimum age to begin draw down and offshore pensions are considered an asset in their own right, meaning that you can pass them on to beneficiaries. You basically have a greater level of flexibility in terms of what you can do with it. Retirees can sometimes even take control of the entire asset, in cash, when they retire, with pensions for expats offering far more choice than with traditional UK plans.
Ok that all makes sense. How can Expat & Offshore help me?
Here at Expat & Offshore we know that making the right pension decision isn't always easy, and that's why we're committed to offering as much support as we can to simplify the process.
If you're in need of more personal attention we can put you in touch with trained financial advisors who will be able to offer expat pension advice on a one-to-one basis, taking you through the various pensions for expats to decide which one would be right for you, ultimately helping to ensure you can make the most of your retirement.

Sprint and LG are adding to their line of environmentally friendly phones with the LG Remarq, a small device with a full QWERTY keyboard, 1.3MP camera and easy access to all of your favorite social networks. It may not have the top-of-line features you'll see in other phones, but Sprint is proud of their endeavors to give consumers a few options in the earth-friendly market.
Design & Features
The Remarq's packaging is entirely recyclable and made from 87 percent post consumer material. The inside tray that holds the phone is made from 100 percent post consumer material. All images and text on the box and in the enclosed documents are printed with soy ink. Basically, the packaging is more earth-loving than a hippy from the 60's. Inside you'll find the phone, charger, and warranty info. (The User Manual has been replaced with an online digital copy.
The phone itself is 3.5 inches tall, 2.5 inches wide, .6 inches thick, and weighs 3.8 ounces. It has a very smooth feeling to it. It's not slippery, but feels very polished. The Remarq has a 2.4-inch screen with a resolution of 320 x 240. The left side contains the headphone jack, volume buttons, and the microSD card slot (expandable up to 16 GB). The right side of the device contains the microUSB charging port and the dedicated camera key. On the front are the usual Talk, End/Power, and Back buttons along with two soft keys and a D-pad with the Menu/OK button in the middle. The phone is a verical slider so the keyboard slides out from the bottom of the phone. The 1.3 megapixel camera is on the back next to the speakerphone grill, and the 900 mAh battery is housed underneath the battery cover.
Usability & Performance
Because the Remarq is a basic featurephone, the UI is pretty familiar and easy to navigate. The Main Menu gives you access to your messages, photos, tools, music, and more. The messaging interface is also pretty basic; however, the keyboard performs excellently. The keys are flatter than the keyboards on most messaging phones that have been released lately and they're not quite as rubbery, but they're definitely not too slippery. My fingers didn't slide all over the keys and the keyboard is small enough so that I didn't have to stretch very much to get to each letter. The fact that the keyboard is quite small may be a problem for those with hands larger than mine, so if this is the case, I would recommend looking into another device. The Space bar is on it's own row along with the period, exclamation mark, and question mark keys. There is a dedicated emoticon key and a Text shortcut key that will take you to messaging from the Home Screen, a very handy tool. Other symbols can be used by pressing the Function key. The numerical pad is integrated within the left side of the keyboard.
The Remarq features a 1.3 megapixel camera.Though the quality and features of the camera were fair enough, I couldn't get over the placement of the camera. It's located in the standard top left corner of the back of the phone, which wouldn't seem like a problem, but it turned out to be a huge inconvenience. Whether the phone is closed or open, I had to maneuver my hands for a while before I found a way to keep my finger out of the shot. There are a few good ways to hold it, but none of them are comfortable. They're pretty awkward, in fact. I guess this isn't too big of a problem, but it was certainly something I would have to take a while to get used to.
The web browser on the Remarq is pretty standard compared to other featurephones these days. Though Phonedog.com took quite a while to load (about one full minute) it took only about 40 seconds to navigate to YellowPages.com, search for a particular business, and find one near me. The pages may not show up quite right and others may take longer to load, but these things are to be expected from a phone of this caliber.
The phone is also equipped with a music player (keep in mind the 2.5mm headphone jack), Family Locater, apps for MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter, and it supports Bluetooth. Keeping with the "eco-friendly" promise, Sprint has included an Eco Calculater that will help you to calculate how much you're saving the environment by walking or riding a bike instead of driving your car.
In a word, the LG Remarq is simple. It's features are basic, but they perform well. The keyboard itself is outstanding. Though the camera isn't the best and the location presented a problem, it's still usable. However, Sprint also has other eco-friendly options that may be a better. The Samsung Reclaim features a 2 megapixel camera, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, ships with a better battery, and is free. The only thing that may turn you off is that the Reclaim uses Sprint's One-Click interface, something a lot of people won't like. Try them both out, and see which one you prefer. The Remarq is available in dark silver or turquoise. Check it out at your local Sprint store.

Start-up Chost is higher but a normal hand canon will have paied for it's self in the first adventuere and an Armogedon within 2-3 and 3-5 for a Carnodon if your buying your own ammo (and if you don't need the Pen you can always use normal ammo) and it's an easer (Fel) roll to get your boss to cover the cost for a box of Manstopers than for a clip of Bolt shells. now don't tell my GM or my Players, let's just keep it betwen you and me.

Sprayer Calibration
The arsenal against weed and insect pests is ever changing. Links on this page will provide you with tools that can help make the tasks more productive, safer, and more environmentally friendly.
Boom Sprayer Calibration
Calculations for boom sprayer calibration are tedious at best. This Boom Sprayer Calibration Spreadsheet was designed by Ron Patterson, Carbon County Extension Agent to help take the headache out of calibration calculations. For older versions of Excel click here. There are three worksheets in the spreadsheet. The first contains instructions on how to use the spreadsheet. The second worksheet is the data worksheet for boom sprayers with 20 or less nozzles. The third worksheet is for larger boom sprayers (over 20-120 nozzles). The larger worksheet can be used for any-sized boom sprayer, but it is quite tedious having to constantly scroll up and down. The second and third worksheets can be printed so you can record the data collected in the calibration exercise. After the data has been collected you can go back to the second or third worksheet and enter the data so the computer can do the calculations for you. Be sure to indicate whether you are collecting data in ounces or milliliters and whether your speed measurements are in mhp or 200 foot timed measurement. Click on the link above to download the spreadsheet and then save it to your own computer for repeated use.
Here is a calibration video showing the calibration and data entry process
Handcan Sprayer Calibration
Handcan or backpack sprayers are frequently used for spot spraying. The need for calibrating hand-held sprayers is just as great as for large boom sprayers. This
Handcan Sprayer Calibration Spreadsheet
is another Excel spreadsheet tool designed by Ron Patterson to help with the calculations needed to calibrate and mix pesticides for single-nozzle hand-held sprayers.

Development of Chinese Light Steel Construction Residential Buildings
Building systems with light steel members, gypsum plasterboards and mineral wool have a wide spread use in the US, Australia and Japan and are gaining market in some European countries. The systems have often load-bearing walls and the floors may be of Light weight steel profiles or concrete. Such systems are suited for industrial production and can contribute to a more efficient building process. This new building technology came to the foreground because of the rapid development in the building industry; surely it has a lot of advantages from the technological point of view, which meet all the requirements these days. But it is more important beside the points of view mentioned above that the construction of these buildings protects the natural environment, and suits the stand points of Sustainable development and guarantees a healthy environment for the users for the whole lifespan of the building. But,these systems are not universally utilized in China. As a matter of fact, they are to agree with the all current situations of China, especially the Light-gauge steel system residence. In the following paper I will justify the existence of light-gauge steel constructional building system in the residential housing with the points mentioned above.

For Congressional incumbents seeking re-election, the most vicious part of every cycle awaits: triage.
In the coming weeks, the national party committees will decide which races are deemed winnable and merit their resources - resources Members themselves donated and helped raise - and which should be abandoned.
"There's a lot of yelling and screaming going on," recalled Rep. Tom Cole (Okla.), who oversaw a brutal cycle for House Republicans as National Republican Congressional Committee chairman in 2008. "The judgements that are called for? It's political life and death for some people."
Party officials are already moving money between races.
Last week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee shifted a week's worth of airtime from Rep. Larry Kissell's (D-N.C.) uphill re-election bid to target Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.). House Democrats did not cut off Kissell completely, but the move signals that the DCCC believes its funds are better spent on other races.
There's more of that to come in October, and it won't be pretty.
The DCCC reserved $61.7 million in airtime across 41 districts through Election Day. The NRCC reserved less airtime, $43.8 million, and is currently on the air in 35 districts.
Those reservations will shift frequently between districts as parties cross non-competitive or hopeless races off their lists.
Currently, committee staffs are poring over data daily, including polling, finance reports and media buys, to determine the state of every race in lengthy "around the world" meetings.
"The overriding question is, 'Can we win?'" said Rep. Chris Van Hollen (Md.), a former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman in 2008 and 2010. "You have to allocate resources to maximize the number of seats you win - and that does require some tough decisions."
Often the Members at risk hail from the most expensive media markets: Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and Sacramento, Calif. The committees might initially invest in such contests. But if the race cannot be salvaged, the committee pulls the plug. Other Members, such as Republican Rep. Roscoe Bartlett (Md.) whose district falls within the expensive Washington, D.C., market, might never see an independent expenditure on their behalf simply because the race is presumed out of reach.
Already, speculation is swirling over which Members are on the chopping block, although committee officials usually keep such information quiet.
"A lot of these candidates are competing with each other in this sense," said Brian Smoot, a veteran of the DCCC in the 2008 cycle. "You don't have unlimited money."
Fortunately for the committees, this cycle's triage will be less bloody than the past three wave cycles, when party officials cut off races by the dozen to staunch their losses.
For one, the field is smaller because redistricting diminished the number of competitive House districts. Secondly, third-party groups are spending in many of these contests already.
In recent cycles, if a committee cut off a candidate, the race was over. Not anymore.
This cycle, a committee might just be cueing a third-party group to step in.
Congressional campaigns, super PACs, and the committee's IE arm cannot by law coordinate with each other. But they signal to each other through their buys, which are public.
If a committee stops spending in a race ?- especially for a short period - it's often a signal to a third-party group that help is needed in that race.
The result is a relay race of resources, with committees and super PACs buying time in succession. Nonetheless, resources are still limited, and thus triage remains a difficult and sensitive practice.
"The individual decision might be more important this time because nobody has a wave behind them that can cover up mistakes," Cole said.
The DCCC started reserving ad time early this cycle to secure good rates ?- even though it's more obvious when it pulls out of a race. The NRCC reserved less airtime and later in the cycle, announcing districts to its buys each week.
But moving reservations at the eleventh hour is expensive. Ad rates can climb as much as 100 percent in competitive markets, especially in cities where the presidential campaigns are playing.
Third-party groups, including the campaign committees, can spend as much as $600 per point in the Las Vegas market today, according to a source who monitors the market. Candidates get a special rate of around $180 per point.
Last cycle, last-minute shifts caused chaos among the House Democratic Caucus. Starting in late September 2010, Democrats cut several candidates each week.
As the playing field expanded to more than a 100 races, Van Hollen answered angry calls from his colleagues bound for defeat.
"I think by the end of the cycle, everybody understood why we had to make tough decisions," Van Hollen said. "But certainly, at the time they were made, people were less than thrilled."
Specifically, Van Hollen made hard calls early in Ohio, moving airtime reservations out of races for then-Reps. Mary Jo Kilroy and Steve Driehaus and instead investing in competitive contests in New York and Kentucky.
The New York Times broadcast Kilroy's fate in a front-page story. Driehaus lashed out with an online video blasting the DCCC for boosting Democrats who didn't vote for the health care overhaul law instead of him.
But Democratic Reps. Tim Bishop (N.Y) and Ben Chandler (Ky.) each won re-election by a few hundred votes.
For Republicans, the 2006 and 2008 cycles were just as cruel. In the final weeks, Cole recalled "fox hole" checks, peering into races to look for signs of life with polling results. When survey results showed Rep. Erik Paulsen (R-Minn.) tied with his opponent in the 2nd district, Cole continued with his buy in the nearby Minneapolis market.
That cycle, a few Members who knew they would lose respectfully declined the committee's help. Many other Members were less gracious.
"They know you're the chairman - they'll pick up the phone and call you and say, 'Hey, I'm dying out here,'" Cole said. "And you say, 'I know. I'm your doctor.'"

I am very happy with the blend oil. It is comfortable to use. Has never caused skin irritation on myself or my client. It is light enough not to bother the client but still smooth enough to used for deep tissue massage.
Perfect for Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hotstone, and Aromatherapy. Also love that it doesn't stain linens and it can be used on anyone.
So far this is my favorite cream to use. The fact that olive oil is mixed in keeps the creme from drying up or absorbing too quickly. I recommend this to everyone.
I have tried many different oils, but as soon as I tried this one I stuck with it. It gives a very nice glide and I love the texture. It really does leave the skin feeling great!
I love this oil and so do my clients! I have had a few people ask me what type of oil I use because they usually break out, but never have with mine. It also leaves the skin feeling wonderful!

DURHAM — Senior forward Morgan Frame recorded 16 points and eight rebounds on Senior Night for the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team, but the University at Albany rallied to a 55-46 victory Wednesday night at Lundholm Gym.
UNH, which led 30-18 at halftime on the strength of 40.7% shooting from the floor while holding Albany to 29.2 percent, is now 10-17 overall and 5-10 in America East. UA, which outscored the Wildcats 37-16 in the second half with a .520 field goal percentage in comparison to New Hampshire's .241, won its 16th consecutive game to improve to 24-3 overall and 15-0 in America East.
Frame, who scored 12 of her team-high 16 points in the first half, was named UNH's America East Player of the Game. Senior guard Cari Reed made three 3-pointers and netted 11 points to climb past Marcie Lane into No. 20 on UNH's career points leaderboard; Reed has 914 career points, including 170 career 3-pointers; Lane finished with 911 points.
Ariel Gaston scored a career-high nine points and matched her season high of seven rebounds. Kelsey Hogan contributed six points, six rebounds and four assists.
Megan Smith, UA's America East Player of the Game, scored a game-high 20 points on the strength of 9 of 14 shooting from the floor in 26 minutes off the bench. Shereesha Richards recorded 10 points and nine rebounds, which tied for the game high with teammate Ebone Henry.
The quartet of Frame, Reed, Jill Friel and Lauren Wells were honored on Senior Night prior to opening tipoff.
New Hampshire closes the regular season Saturday (12 p.m.) at the University of Maine. The 2013 America East tournament begins March 8 at Albany's SEFCU Arena.

The Artist's "public persona"
James Franco covers the new comedy issue of GQ because he stars in the upcoming This Is The End. Why are only Apatow people considered for comedy prime coverage? So now he's a comedian too, in addition to being an actor, director, painter, poet, and academic...
Have I missed anything?
Maybe illusionist? Master manipulator? No, no, no. It turns out, when you're rolling your eyes at James Franco, it's only because you only partially understand him. As he tells GQ:
"My public persona is something that is only partially constructed by me, so if people want to mock that, it's fine. I mock it."
Wait. So if it's constructed, does that mean it's his joke to mock? And if you're laughing, does it means it's working? Has the Artist been playing us all along?
God it's so f-cking meta, who has the energy?
But at least he's honest, right? Well, at least he is about Your Highness:
"Your Highness? That movie sucks. You can't get around that."
Sure we can. Your Highness was both Franco and Natalie Portman. How did that happen?! And if you press him on it, would he say it's because he didn't write and direct? He wrote the screenplay for and directed and stars in the upcoming Faulkner adaptation of As I Lay Dying which will screen in Cannes. A trailer was just released. Hard to say from this preview whether or not he's been able to capture the multi-narrator perspective of the source material. Still, no one ever snarks on Franco about his talent as an actor or, for that matter, his talents related to film production in general. It's when he starts ode-ing the President and asserting himself as a "public intellectual" and arting up Kristen Stewart's ass that it becomes tiresome.

Every year YouTube compiles a list of their top ten most viewed ads of the previous 12 months. Wieden+Kennedy topped the list in 2012, with our Honda 'spark' spot and we had a total seven ads in the top 20 of the year.
YouTube has just published its 2013 list and, in another strong showing, this year W+K has three spots in the top ten.
At number three (appropriately enough) - the moonwalking pony for Three UK.
"Three set the social media sphere buzzing this year with its moonwalking pony... The sight of the shuffling Shetland pony combined with the sounds of Fleetwood Mac's Everywhere, spurred a torrent of positive conversation around the brand. Never underestimate the power of a dancing pony," said Marketing Week.
At number six, the Honda Hands spot, which was recently named 'best commercial of the year' at the Shots Awards.
And at number nine, Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam's 'We are FIFA14' for EA Sports.
According to the report compiled by Millward Brown for YouTube there are six elements common to the success of the top ten ads.
1 Longer content works well on YouTube – 65 per cent of the 70 leaderboard ads analysed are longer than 60 seconds.
2 An emotional response is key, with all of the advertising featuring a strong response on at least one of the following: surprise, inspiration and excitement.
3 YouTube enables a different kind of storytelling, with many of the ads being part of successful long-term campaigns and featuring a strong back story.
4 Involving, enjoyable and buzzworthy content is key to generating views.
5 Branding is not the enemy of creative success, but integrating the brand into key moments of the video is the creative challenge.
6 There is no single recipe: many approaches work, with the top five themes in all the top ads involving a human presence, music, text, a call to action and being international.
Personally I'm not sure that this analysis is very helpful as a guide to creating successful content, or as a way of explaining why some things are more successful than others. You might as well say, 'Make it really good'. Anyway, draw your own conclusions.

Eddie Jordan aims for 'effort and harmony' at Rutgers
NEW BRUNSWICK — He walked into the College Avenue Gym to chants of "Eddie, Eddie." By the time he walked out, after being introduced as Rutgers' 18th men's basketball head coach, Eddie Jordan had turned the page on perhaps the most painful chapter in Scarlet Knights history.
Preaching "effort and harmony," Jordan pledged to restore integrity to his scandal-scarred alma mater three weeks after ESPN aired a video montage of former coach Mike Rice mistreating players in practices.
"We want our guys to feel good about themselves, about their future, about their basketball team," Jordan said Tuesday afternoon at a news conference attended by current and former players as well as Rutgers fans. "That is part of my responsibility, but as always it's also part of yours because we're all one and we all need help to regain our integrity back."
Jordan's arrival at the old gym affectionately known as "The Barn," where as a cat-quick point guard he helped the Scarlet Knights go unbeaten on the way to the 1976 Final Four, came shortly after the university's Board of Governors approved a five-year, $6.25 million contract.
CUTTING TIES:Rutgers sharply reduces Rice's settlement
The deal is double what Rutgers paid Rice and makes Jordan New Jersey's highest-paid public employee. The 58-year-old Jordan, who maintains a home in Montgomery, returns to the college ranks after two decades in the NBA, including head-coaching stints with the Sacramento Kings, Washington Wizards and Philadelphia 76ers. He spent this past season as an assistant with the Los Angeles Lakers. His last college job was as a Rutgers assistant under Bob Wenzel in 1992.
After its past four men's basketball coaches departed under controversial circumstances, including this month's national firestorm, Rutgers vetted Jordan carefully over the past two weeks.
"What I picked up on right away is that Eddie knows what our commitment is to the atmosphere of respect and dignity here," Rutgers President Robert L. Barchi said, adding that one NBA owner told him, "Eddie has respect for and is respected by everyone, from the owners to the players to the ball boy. That's what really impressed me."
Barchi added, "Anyone in this position wants to win. Anyone in this position is passionate about basketball. But not everyone who can run a team like this can have those sorts of things said about him. I know he's the right leader at a pivotal moment for our men's basketball program."

That program is teetering on the edge after five players of the 10 scholarship underclassmen on the roster received waivers to transfer. One of those, junior captain Mike Poole, committed to Iona shortly before Jordan's news conference began. Two others, leading scorer Eli Carter and point guard Jerome Seagears, are in the process of visiting other schools and meeting with other coaches.
"The most important thing for me was to recruit our players," Jordan said. "Every day I've got at least one or two in my office, (I'm) talking to them, texting them, calling them. It's about building relationships. It's not going to happen overnight."
Jordan said he called several parents and got mixed reactions.
"Maybe out of the 10 parents that I called, eight parents that I talked to, two were really, really enthusiastic about their child coming back, their young man coming back, and the others were hurt," he said. "It's a process. It's hard to just gain trust in one phone call."
He received a boost on Tuesday when the team's most promising players, sophomores Myles Mack and Kadeem Jack, attended the news conference and affirmed their commitment to staying at Rutgers. Sophomore wing Malick Kone, who was one of the five players to request a release, also was there.
"Whatever I start, I always finish. I started here so I'm going to finish here," Mack said. "I would love for (others) to stay, but if they see a career for themselves somewhere else that's better than here, that's for them to say."
Jordan impressed the players in their first meeting because "he did his homework on us," walk-on freshman Logan Kelley said. "He knew a lot about us."
And not just basketball stuff.
"He knew I was a McDonald's All-American, but he went further and deeper to ask about the type of kids we were and our families," junior forward Wally Judge said.
As a group, the players seemed relieved about moving on.
"We have a coach in place now, and we can start to get back to normal," Jack said. "Hopefully some of the players will decide to stay and we can get some recruits."
To that end, Jordan went Tuesday night to the home of Jon Severe, one of the top seniors in New York City, to make a recruiting pitch. He also announced that he would "retain and evaluate" Rice's two top assistants, David Cox and Van Macon, whose contracts run out June 30.
"For the time being, we're staying together," Jordan said. "There's a comfort level with our players with David Cox and with Van. That's important to me, that there's continuity."
Several times throughout the press conference Jordan's remarks were interrupted by applause. He seemed to revel in the homecoming and called it "a no-brainer."
"I wanted to come here 10 years ago," he said. "I wanted to come here three years ago. It wasn't because of what happened (with Rice). I've always wanted to coach Rutgers."
Even former athletics director Tim Pernetti, who resigned in the wake of the Rice scandal and passed on hiring Jordan three years ago, tweeted a congratulatory note to a "loyal son."
Jordan said he will draw on his lengthy coaching resume to help heal the program and move it forward, joking that even stubborn Lakers star Kobe Bryant would listen to him.
"I've run the gamut," he said. "It's my experiences that should help these young men right here succeed."

Hello everyone, this is for a college project that I have to write on online deliberation - so please participate and help me out!
As everyone knows abortion is a very controversial issue in the United States, and it does not appear to be going away any time soon. Many people tend to be rather polarized on this issue, but there are also the gray areas where it becomes confusing - maybe abortion is acceptable in these circumstances, maybe it should be regulated like this, etc.
- Should abortion be completely legal, or completely illegal?
- Or what are certain regulations or circumstances in which possible laws could/should have exceptions? Age restrictions, health reasons, rape cases, insurance policies, cost, etc?
- Is making abortions illegal a violation of the woman's rights? Or is maybe allowing abortions a violation of the unborn child's life?
- How could this debate be solved?

Animal activists say the Army will bar nonmedical soldiers from participating in trauma training using live animals.
The change is one of several brought about by a review of medical readiness training, according to emails between People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and Army officials.
Justin Goodman, PETA's director of laboratory investigations, called it a "step in the right direction" and "encouraging."
Goodman said the military's full report on efforts to phase out the use of live animals in trauma training is expected to be released today.
PETA provided the emails to The Fayetteville Observer. They show an exchange between a PETA official and a spokeswoman for the Office of the Army Surgeon General spurred by new language found in an Army contract solicitation.
Officials with the Office of the Army Surgeon General and at Fort Bragg were not available for comment Monday, which was a holiday for the military.
In the past, officials on Fort Bragg have confirmed that such training takes place on the installation, but they have declined to comment further.
The solicitation, dated March 20, is for medical readiness training for 200 soldiers in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division.
"Nonmedical personnel are not authorized to participate in training that involves the use of animal models," the solicitation reads. "Training of nonmedical personnel will be limited to the use of alternatives as noted below."
Those alternatives include training mannequins, actors and virtual simulators.
"The minimum number of animal models will be used to accomplish training objectives and the use of each animal will be maximized to the greatest extent possible," the solicitation states.
The military's use of live animals in trauma training has been controversial, particularly among animal activists.
Government documents have shown that, on average, soldiers on Fort Bragg killed 300 goats a month for medical trauma training that supporters said helps save lives.
Activists say the animals are shot, stabbed, bludgeoned and blown up to simulate the types of injuries soldiers face.
Supporters say the animals are anesthetized and respected. They say animals provided realistic training for wounds not available from other sources.
PETA officials estimate that thousands of animals are killed during similar training across the military, and have argued that simulators provide better training.
Goodman said the change in who participates in the training is the first and only change PETA is aware of.
The 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, signed into law in January, required the Department of Defense to provide Congress with a strategy and detailed timeline for the replacement of animals for medical training.
That report was initially due in March but was delayed, Goodman said. Now, he and others at PETA are eagerly awaiting its release.
"What we want to see is what we've been asking for for 30 years," Goodman said, referring to the end of the use of live animals in the training.
Previously, PETA has said that Fort Bragg training accounts for a third of all the animal deaths caused by the military each year.
Cutting down on such training at Fort Bragg, as the contract solicitation shows, is a big step, Goodman said.
"Every animal's life saved is a victory," he said.
According to the emails between PETA and the Office of the Army Surgeon General, the change in contract language is one of the changes set into place by the review of the medical training.
"With that review, you are beginning to see and will see other subtle changes to our medical readiness training programs," Col. Theresa Gonzales said in the email. "The contract solicitation noted in your email is one of our initial efforts from this team to ensure we have standardized, easily understandable, and executable medical readiness training standards that remove interpretation of requirements across the Army."
