Task Assassin
Android does not display on a taskbar the application started now like OS of Windows or others.
In this application, the application (only application which can be started from Ramcha) started in the present background now is displayed in real time on a home screen as a HOME widget, the application which moved to the background is opened again -- closing (kill) -- it can carry out immediately.
This is not an application which states optimization and improvement in the speed of a system.
It is an application which visualizes the application under starting and can be simply managed by itself in the background.
It is an application recommended to the direction which wants to always grasp like PC what is started now, and a direction to make management of a task, and the kill of an application by oneself.
!!!The automatic task kill function was added from the version 1.7!!!
An auto kill setup is possible from a home widget to various list display functions to each task at the time of a task.
1) At the time of android start-up (kill of specification task is carried out for after-starting about 10 seconds)
2) At the time of screen-on
3) At the time of screen-off
4) Timing to which the lapsed time from 5 task starting always exceeded the designated hour (only when a task is in a background)
The specification which carries out a kill to the above timing is possible (two or more specification is possible).
----------A screen and operation explanation----------
A widget has a type using one row of 1x4, and a large type using two rows of 2x4.
The central task display portion is divided with the main, the left substitute, and the right substitute.
Closing action opened by clicking on an icon is possible only for the task displayed mainly.
According to a screen, the main can display 5-12 and a right-and-left substitute can display 4-8 and a total of 13-28 tasks on a widget at once, respectively.
The task which cannot be displayed mainly is displayed on a right-and-left substitute.
By clicking on a right-hand side (1x4) arrow icon, closing action which opens the task which a right-and-left substitute has to the target task by shifting mainly is performed.
Moreover, it is possible to carry out a setup excepted so that it may not be made to display, and may make and be sufficient to each task currently listed and a kill may not be carried out at the time of action of all the task kills.
Upper left icons (1x4) are all the task kill buttons. It is clicking.
If "yes" is chosen after a check dialog display, tasks other than the task by which "kill exclusion" is carried out can carry out the kill of the task.
When it clicks on a lower left icon (1x4), in the background now The task under starting, All the tasks loaded on the present memory, the task by which "display exclusion" was carried out, and the task by which "kill exclusion" was carried out can be displayed in a list with a respectively separate tab, and each operations, such as a kill of a task and release of an exclusion task, are possible.
the direction which is interested since there is also the free version with function restrictions, such as all the task kills and various list displays, -- first of all -- the free version -- pleasing .
App Killer
1. click to kill process
2. long click to show App's infomation
TaskKill Tasker Plugin [Root]
TaskKill does not operate on its own, and requires either Tasker, or Locale
Taskkill does not specifically require root, but it is recommended.
**IMPORTANT: Make sure you have tasker (or Llama) enabled in the Accessibilty settings of Android.
The following options are
* Simple: (Does not need root) Asks the target app to quit. Does not force the matter at all.
* Advanced: (Requires Root) Kills the PID of the target app. Apps with background processes may startup again.
* Extreme: (Requires Root And ICS+) Recommended method. This kills the target app using the same method as going to the app under settings and clicking "Force Close"
* Hardcore: (Requires Root) Only use as a last resort. This kills the target app by disabling its package and re-enabling it.
**WARNING Hardcore may remove shortcuts from the homescreen.

A 1/4 mile ride in Joel Nystroms Hemi 4 speed GTX
Mike Kamm sat in the back seat of my 67 Plymouth GTX, an original 30,000
mile Hemi 4 speed car, while I carefully baby it down Norwalks 1/4 mile
dragstrip. This pass was run on original style G70-14 bias ply tires, so
there was tire spin. Thats why I had to back pedal a little in 1st and the
shift light never went off in 2nd. I had the light set to come on at 6500
rpm, but wasn't shifting untill 7000. This was a mid 11 second pass at
about 124 mph.

9 Second Buick GSX Stage2 GS Stage1 9.51 @ 140
We originally built this car with Frank Urbinati back in 1996.It debuted at
the GS Nationals where it won the GS Pro Street class races. It was also
the 1st GS Pro Street class car to break into the 9's at the time.Thanks to
Frank this project came to life. Fast forward to 2010 and the car has been
taken over by Bob Ortolani,the car still looks great and Bob decided to
bring it up another level. We were happy to have the car come back to our
shop and to have the opportunity to work with Bob and put together the new
powerplant. The video shows the results of our 1st day out to tune the
engine. The 1st two passes were shakedowns to check fuel/oil pressures and
get a feel for the new combo. By the 3rd run we had posted a 9.62 @ 138
hitting the 7100rpm rev limiter chip! The 4th run was a 9.52 @ 140. On the
5th run it went 9.51 @ 140.65! After a good cool down and a timing
adjustment we were ready to try for a 9.40 run, launching right off idle
the car gave us a nice big unexpected wheelie! The wheelie sure lookes cool
but we know we can go quicker with a little more suspension work to
straighten out the launch and try to keep the front down. We're sure it'll
go into the 9.40's yet and maybe even 30's after everything is worked out.

John Beltz was Oldsmobile's chief engineer in 1964 and one of the prime
movers of the Toronado and 442 project. Beltz was promoted to Oldsmobile
general manager at age 43 in 1969 when Harold N. Metzel retired. Beltz
passed away in May of 1972 from cancer at the age of 46.
John Beltz is leaning on a dual fan 455 Olds and posing with other
experimental Olds engines that never saw production.
Here are descriptions of these engines:
1. The 0W-43 all aluminum 455 with 4 valve per cylinders, four overhead cam
Weber engine. With a redline of just under 8,500rpm it was originally
conceived for CAN AM racing. At 3,000rpm it put out 300hp and at 6,000rpm
registered over 600hp. The top output recorded for this engine in the
Lansing Dyno facility
was 700 real hp at 6,800rpm. Tests were run with both carbueration and fuel
injection. The block was cast from Reynolds 356 alloy and fitted with
pressed-in dry steel cylinder liners for the Forged-True 12.20to 1 pistons.
Billet steel connecting rods by Carillo was used along with a forged steel
crank. The engine weighed in at 50 pounds lighter than the production 455
motor! It was developed at the same time as the ZL-1 Chevy 427 motor.
2. The W-43 4 valve per cylinder 455 developed by JOHN BELTZ , LLOYD GILL ,
JOE JONES AND FRANK BALL. Rated at 500-550hp with a single Rochester
Quadrajet on an aluminum manifold. Constructed with both cast iron heads
and block and with aluminum-alloy block and heads 75 pounds lighter than
the conventional 455 production engine. Engine featured four valves per
cylinder with narrowed angles for a super efficient combustion chamber
design, central spark plugs and could easily be adapted for chain for gear
driven overhead camshafts. 455 engine had 4.625inch cylinder centers, a
4.125 bore and 4.250 stroke. Making use of the 3inch main bearings and 2.50
inch rod journals, the engine was fitted with a specially prepared cast
crank fitted with SAE-1140 forged steel rods, forged 10.20-to-1 pistons
which rode on Morraine 400 bearings. Four bolt main block boasted 2
additional 5/8inch drain holes. Four valve heads featured 1.750inch intake
valves (SAE-8640 steel) with 22 degree stems and 1.375 Exhaust (214-N stainless steel) with 15 degree
stems, special Stellite seats, bronze alloy guides, o ring plug tubes, 14mm
spark plugs, 3/8 inch pushrods and aluminum rocker arms. (Of all the
experimental Olds engines, this one came the closest to production and
there are photos of this engine in street gear. MAY 71 HOT ROD MAGAZINE
features some of these engines and the sadness of the Olds engineers of
that time of how they would never be released.)
3. 455 dual turbocharged CAN AM ROCKET
CHALLENGE. 659hp @ 6250rpm. 554lbs torque @ 6,250 rpm. Alloy block with 4
bolt mains. Forged steel crankshaft. Forged True pistons with 8.5 to 1
compression. 3inch main journals. 2.499inch rod journals. Carillo billet
steel rods. alloy heads. 2inch intake valves. 1.625inch Exhaust valves. Crower roller camshaft with
555inch lift and 320 degrees duration. Dual TRW-375-E-10 turbochargers with Boost Wastegate 10and 1/2psi. Lucas fuel
injection. Olds alloy intake.
Competed with big block Chevy Mclarens and Porsche Panzers in CAN AM racing
circa 68-69.
This video is merely a couple of old magazine pages strung together with
the exception of that blue 455 hemi which was found on the internet. Thats
BRUCE MCLAREN in that green can am race car which is Olds powered. AT THE
WAS FEATURED IN THE MAY 1971 ISSUE OF HOT ROD MAGAZINE. The incidental

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Mauritshuis museum in The Hague reopens June 27 after a two-year renovation that allowed some of its treasures to travel abroad. Here are some facts about the collection:
Rock stars might be envious: 2.2 million people came out to see the paintings while they were on the road. In 2012, the Mauritshuis exhibition in Tokyo was the most-visited art exhibition in the world, while in New York, visitors waited outside for hours in freezing weather to see it at the Frick, where it broke attendance records.
The Mauritshuis houses masterpieces from the Netherlands' 17th-century Golden Age, including Vermeer's iconic 1665 "Girl With a Pearl Earring," three Rembrandt self-portraits and works by Jan Steen, Frans Hals and Peter Paul Rubens. A 1654 painting by Carel Fabritius, "The Goldfinch," came home to Holland much more famous than when it left thanks to a best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Donna Tartt.
It's hard not to be stunned by the variety and quality of the museum's 800 paintings, which even after the renovation are in relatively tight spaces. Literary visitors will thrill to the sight of "Girl With a Pearl Earring," ''The Goldfinch," and Rembrandt's "Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicholaes Tulp," also the subject of a new novel. Vermeer's 1660 "View of Delft" plays a small but important role in Proust's "Remembrance of Things Past."
Other jewels include Frans Hals' 1625 cute, buck-toothed "Laughing Boy." For an early critique of Dutch loose living, check out Jan Steen's "As the Old Sing, So Pipe the Young," the first known picture of Dutch youth caught smoking something. Animal lovers should see the museum's biggest canvas, Paulus Potter's 1647 "The Bull." ''The Garden of Eden With The Fall of Man" was a joint project of Rubens and Jan Brueghel the Elder.
The museum's space was doubled to accommodate 250,000 tourists annually — a 25 percent increase. The square out front is now a lobby with skylights. A nearby building now houses a cafe, shop, library and temporary exhibits.
The Mauritshuis was built in 1644 in the center of The Hague for nobleman Johan Maurits, was purchased by the Dutch state in 1820, and became a museum after the Netherlands' first king, Willem I, donated his paintings.

Todd Akin Loses Missouri Senate Race
Akin's statements regarding "legitimate rape" appeared to do him in at the polls, but the congressman offered inspiring words to supporters. "After this is over, after all the votes are counted in all these races, including the presidential race, we have to come together as one country because this country's been through a lot of tough times recently, but we've been through tough years before."

The recession is even affecting the Super Bowl
Given these hard times, I'm curious about which sponsors will even run commercials for the game. Big names like GM and Pepsi aren't even advertising. It would be sort of cool if AT&T and Verizon would continue their ad war through the Super Bowl.
British comic claims TV ad ripped him off
That's still no excuse for stealing material, if that is in fact the case with this British ad. UK comic Micky Flanagan claims an ad agency stole a joke from his act for a phone service commercial and is a stone's throw away from filing a lawsuit. Punchline Magazine posted videos of the joke and the ad. Is this just a coincidence or is the ad pulling a Carlos Mencia?
First, listen to Flanagan's joke...
And now, watch the ad, which is after the jump.
Commercial spoofs take shots at DirecTV's Chris Farley spot
The original ad featured a live action David Spade discussing DirecTV against Farley's antics from Tommy Boy. While Spade insisted Farley wouldn't mind, a lot of his fans took offense to using a dead man to hawk a product.
But the video below, from a YouTube page, The Landline, lights up the satellite TV provider with an edgy send-up of the "dead talk cash" stunt with faked DirecTV ads featuring a pseudo Heath Ledger, John F. Kennedy, and someone else you'll recognize.
There's a conspiracy theory floating around that this is actually clever viral marketing from DirecTV itself -- since no publicity is bad publicity. But, if that were true, and word really got out, it'd be "deadly" to the company's business.
Obama ad won't air on ABC
If the Obama campaign was going to pass on a network, you'd think it would be Fox since Fox News is the mortal enemy of his political party. What does the campaign have against the House of the Mouse? You can't get more American than Mickey.
Degrees of 24
The makers of a deodorant have paid Fox TV an undisclosed amount of money to acquire the licensing rights to create 24-themed content on a new web site and in a series of TV ads in order to promote their product.
The Unilever Company, which produces Degree deodorant, will run original online material and TV ads following the exploits of a 24-like CTU rookie, Jason Blaine, a Navy Seal sniper who, the web site says, "can carry four lattes without spilling a drop."
When you go to the "CTU rookie" site, you can watch the first "chapter" in the life of newbie agent Jason, complete with a ticking 24 clock, music similar to what you hear when Jack Bauer is huntin' nukes and a CTU office setting. What is different about the content is that the rookie is sent to fetch coffee rather than meet with "good" and "bad" terrorists. While the first chapter doesn't show Jason doing anything more than making sure an old lady and her dog don't get run down by a speeding vehicle, it does show him getting ready to thwart a would-be robbery, even though he doesn't have a gun.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't quite understand this ad campaign. Sure, the first "chapter" is pretty amusing, as is the tagline, "Every great CTU agent has to start somewhere." But how does Unilever think this is going to sell deodorant? Surely they'd sell more if they ran an ad that said something like, "Jack Bauer wears Degree. Do you ever see him sweat?"
Tartakovsky goes commercial
Genndy Tartakovsky, the mind behind cartoons such as Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack and Star Wars: Clone Wars has created this animated commercial for Nicorette. If you have trouble seeing the movie, right click on the link and "Save Target As." The animation has Tartakovsky's signature style, or I guess you could call it the "Cartoon Network" style. Either way, you have to appreciate the scientific accuracy of the ad: every one of us has tiny little screaming blobs inside our brain that get angry when we stop smoking. I've named all of mine after presidents.
The spot was created through The Orphanage, a video effects company that has also worked on the films Superman Returns and Sin City, among others.

Are American Idol fans old enough to drive?
Volkswagen ads are freaking me out
I know this is something we usually reserve for AdJab, but I'm curious about what all you TV fanatics think. Have you seen the new 'Safe Happens' advertisements by Volkswagen? They feature people driving in a car, having a normal conversation about a movie or the overuse of the word 'like' and then - WHAM! - all of a sudden another car slams into the Volkswagen. It scares the hell out of me every single time. And, interestingly, when I was driving around running errands today, I kept thinking about it. I was tense behind the wheel, as if I was about to get hit by an oncoming vehicle. I guess that's

Perfect honeymoon sanctuaryPosted Feb 27, 2015
Pros: Private and spacious luxury
Location: Visit the market, great restaurants and cafes, monkey forest
Royal Kamuela is beautiful, the villas are very spacious with a surprisingly large pools and a very relaxing vibe throughout. The staff were great and very attentive to our needs with lots of nice touches to a special honeymoon cake and the bath filled with flower petals, I paid a small amount extra to et the pool filled with petals which was great, over the top luxury that was well worth it for the look on my wife's face. We also used Kamuela to take us on a tour which was travelling in comfort and made seeing Bali very easy. It's also a good location if you're in Ubud, close to the monkey forest but near enough the busy market and all the great eateries without being right in the action. The only 'problem' we had was when having our breakfast one morning and a couple of monkeys decided they liked the look of our food but after a few photos and some umbrella waving they got the message - most enjoyable breakfast for ages! We had a great visit here and I'd recommend it to anyone, especially if you're looking for a romantic getaway.

カップル向けの高級ホテルPosted Feb 8, 2015
Pros: スタッフのホスピタリティーが素晴らしい。こちらがのんびり出来る環境をつくるように心掛けている感じがした。ホテル内はどこも清潔で、かならず誰かが掃除あるいはメンテナンスをしている。
Cons: 特に無し。
Location: ウブドの中心にあり便利。近くにはレストラン、スパがたくさんあり、モンキーフォレストもすぐ近く。王宮までは徒歩15分位。

Beautiful private oasisPosted Feb 2, 2015
Pros: Staff service impeccable. Breakfast and afternoon tea (actually all meals) Amazing! Super comfy bed and huge bath tub.
Cons: Building needs refurbishing. Better control of the nearby monkeys, also the rubber tree constantly dropping leaves into pool should be replaced.
Location: Eat,at one of the beautiful resturants, shop for homewares etc, have a massage, facial etc take a yoga or cooking class, all very reasonably priced.
My husband and I booked our 7 day visit to UBUD to celabrate our wedding anniversary and chose Royal Kamuela because of the beautiful private villa, with our own private pool. Perfect for a romantic getaway, of which it truely was. We had many day trips, with our private driver, visitng many amzing places, however also spent many hours wandering the streets of UBUD, shopping, stopping for coffee, a meal or drink. Then droppingin back to our villa for a swim, before heading out again.

A Dream CometruePosted Jan 23, 2015
From the moment we arrived up until the last day, we received nothing but excellent customer service. Everyone working there were highly attentive, friendly and helpful (Katut, Booty, Eerie are super nice and great ppl to tour Bali- all work at the hotel). They always made sure we received the best service and were happy along the way. Their breakfast was phenomenal. I was happy thinking I would be receiving a complimentary bagel with tea every morning, so to come across a full breakfast menu with omelettes, belgium waffles, fresh juice AND the expected bagel with tea PLUS a yummy cappucchino, was beyond words. I miss it so much that I find myself back home in LA waking up every morning with a " awww my breakfast". But the Bali experience does not end there; there was great cheap shopping just right outside hotel, scooters and bikes to rent for $2 for 3hrs, 1hr massages for $5, great authentic cuisine (I recommend Cafe Wayan). For more fun cheap shopping, Bali Market Place is just a quick 7 to 10min walk from hotel. To exchange money, I recommend the place right next to the Monkey Park, which is a quick 5min walk- the lady who works there her name is Catud and she's super sweet. As for places to visit, monkey park is a must, as well as the Bali Marine Safari where you can also ride an elephant ( I recommend paying for the $100 ticket whick includes all you can eat lunch and a 1hr show very well worth $100 alone- it's as great as a cirque de soleil show). Have fun and enjoy!!

ショッピング、街スパに最適Posted Jan 8, 2015
Pros: 立地条件・ホテルの清潔さ・従業員の対応
Cons: 朝食がもう少しおいしければ。
今回、4度目のウブド滞在です。ショッピングと街スパをするのに便利な立地を考えてこのホテルを選びました。 ホテルは清潔で、従業員さんの対応も良く、快適に過ごせますがホテル内でレストランやスパはあまりおすすめではありません。せっかく街中に滞在するので、外のレストランやスパを利用する方が良いと思います。 雰囲気でいうと天蓋ベットがあるようなバリスタイルのヴィラとは違いますが、広さも十分にありますし、夜も静かでしたので、宿泊してよかったと思っています。 移動に関しては、レンタルバイクでしたので、何も不自由はなかったのですが、歩いて見て廻るには坂道も多く、暑いので結構大変ではないでしょうか? ホテルからタクシーの手配等お願いできると思いますが、この時期は交通量も多く、車での移動には結構な時間が掛かってしまいそうです。

An awesome propertyPosted Dec 30, 2014
Great rooms, private villa with own private pool, double bath, outside shower, double sinks and all the luxuries you can think of. Only one flaw in that the rooms are air conditioned and have no fan. I dislike sleeping with aircon on, and asked staff of they had a fan. There was none available. Friendly staff, who were very welcoming and courteous. Great free shuttle service, but it needs to be pre-booked. The in room dining was somewhat limited for an 8 day stay, and some healthier alternatives for breakfast would be welcome. A great place for honeymooners or couples who want privacy and seclusion, yet access to the centre of Ubud.

Hotel StayPosted Dec 29, 2014
Pros: Everything... location... size of the villas... the facilities in the villa.. the service from the staff..
Cons: The food... breakfast options were limited.... had dinner one evening (was raining very heavily) and was not fantastic...
Location: central... next to the main shops... there is cycling, landscape, monkey forest... can take day trips out..
Decided the trip to Bali at the last minute.. and decided on Ubud as my last trip, we stayed at Kuta and regretted it every moment. Looked at the various reviews on Expedia and only selected this hotel after my first choice did not have any rooms. And what a choice.... had no regrets... wifey was very happy... the whole experience was worthwhile... so close to the hussle and bussle and yet step away from the street and you feel like you are in a remote resort... the staff were excellant... the rooms were so private, extraordinary large and very well maintained... there was all the little touches.. like the staff turning down the room in the evening when we were out and when we came back the bed was prepared for sleeping, the lights were down, curtains closed... Now, my wife says only villas in future.. no more rooms, suites etc... its going to be heavier on my wallet but worth it... if we go back to Bali, certainly this hotel will be top choice... they only have 12 villas and its already almost filled up for the March holidays (its early Dec when I am writing this).... so choose early if you want to stay here..... N.B: if you are honeymooning, perfect choice ... there were, I think 3 or 4 honeymoon couples when we stayed there, but its so private, you only see the others staying there when you come up to reception.

Be Seen And Yet Not To Be Seen - A Rare FindPosted Dec 24, 2014 on Hotels.com
The hotel is accessible to many popular tourist attractions in the vicinity while pleasantly tugged away from their hustle and bustle. A real gem. Another thing I really like and appreciate about the hotel is its meal hour flexibility. Your complementary breakfast could be served anytime before 10pm, yes, 10pm so there is no need to compromise your tour, spa schedule. An important tip to share, whether you are a first-time or repeat traveller to Ubud - Bali is morphing too while you are gone: Don't shy away from private taxi operators as they still offer the best deal. Instead try to negotiate a (fixed, one-way) fare between 25k and 30k Rupiah if you are travelling from the airport to Ubud and back, which at the present rate, is 25-30 USD. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours due to the busy and undulating hilly roads so be prepared. Otherwise, enjoy Bali!

A slice of paradisePosted Dec 20, 2014 on Hotels.com
The first thing I want to say about this place, is that it's better. Better than the pictures, better than any accommodation I ever lived in and certainly the best stay experience of my life. We stayed for 4 days in Villa 2, and it took our breath away the moment we entered. The pickup from the airport gave us the taste of hospitality which was to follow, and continued through our trip. The spa experience was divine, the privaťe pool was really cool and the oversized bathtub made us feel like royalty. The room itself is picture perfect. The complimentary drop comes in very handy and they organize tours for you at almost the same cost as you would organize from outside. And the location! You could walk to the Monkey Forest, the Ubud Palace, the Ubud Market, and the Hanuman Street (Kafe and Clean Cafe are recommended) But what blew us away is the hospitality. I could go on and on about the people of Ubud, but it suffices to say that they are the most genuinely nice people you will meet.

Uber-affiliated driver arrested in girl's death, questions linger
- Patrick Hoge
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Google+ | Twitter | LinkedIn
A driver affiliated with Uber Technologies was arrested this week for allegedly killing a six-year-old girl in San Francisco on New Year's Eve when his vehicle hit her, a small boy and their mother in a crosswalk, and though the driver was not working for Uber at the moment of the crash questions are swirling.
San Francisco-based Uber said that the arrested driver, 57-year-old Syed Muzaffar of Union City, was not transporting anyone for Uber when the accident occurred about 8 p.m. at the intersection of Ellis and Polk Streets in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood.
Uber will not say, however, whether Muzaffar had been accepting rides from the company earlier on New Year's Eve. The company insists that all drivers on its system are private contractors. It confirmed that he had been an approved driver on its network, which matches riders to a variety of transportation services, including private drivers in their own cars via a smartphone app. It has since deactivated him.
"We can confirm that the driver in question was a partner of Uber and that we have deactivated his Uber account. The driver was not providing services on the Uber system during the time of the accident. We again extend our deepest condolences to the family and victims of this tragic accident," the company said.
Muzaffar was booked on charges of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and failure to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk.
Taxi industry representatives on Friday seized on the fatality to question whether there is adequate accountability for ride-dispatching apps that use private drivers, as do Uber and two other San Francisco startups, Lyft and SideCar. City Supervisor Jane Kim also issued a statement earlier saying the incident raises questions about "driver training and selection for the increasing number of ride share drivers on our streets."

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri held talkative defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson out of media day Monday after the player's remarks about Georgia and the SEC in general.
Mizzou holds Richardson out of media day
Richardson, a junior, said after Saturday's opening victory over Southeastern Louisiana that he watched some of the Bulldogs' opening victory over Buffalo earlier in the day but turned off his TV because "it's like watching Big Ten football, it's old man football."
Team spokesman Chad Moller said Richardson "earned himself a vacation."
"Well, you know we certainly want to say the right things, do the right things," coach Gary Pinkel said. "I think he just got carried away a little bit, but I handled that internally."
Richardson's remarks could end up as bulletin board material to be used as motivation by sixth-ranked Georgia.
"Without question I think anybody looks for things," Pinkel said. "We want to say the appropriate things. He felt sorry for saying it, he just got excited.
"He's got great respect for Georgia, as I do. We'll learn the lessons and move on."
Linebacker Will Ebner expects to play this week despite being listed as questionable with a neck stinger. Ebner was injured in the first half of the opening victory over Southeastern Louisiana on Saturday night.
He missed two games with a similar nerve injury in his neck two seasons ago, the result of leading with his head on tackles, but said Monday this case was not as severe.
"I feel a lot better this time," Ebner said. "The last time I could barely move my neck, and they actually had me in a neck brace for a few days. I'm planning on playing Saturday."
Pinkel said after the game that he hoped to get Ebner back.

Team: Eugene Korsunskiy, Jason Chua, Aaron Peck, Kathayoon Khalil, Prat Ganapathy, Diane Lee
SparkTruck wants to bring back the "hands-on" learning approach. Its crew is currently traveling cross-country in a truck filled with a Makerbot 3-D printer, laser cutters and other gadgets that invite experimentation.
"If we can get kids to be people who can think they make anything, we can make them think they can do anything," says co-creator Eugene Korsunskiy.
The project launched on Kickstarter and raised more than $30,000 for what the team calls "the educational build-mobile." The van -- which the founders view as a rolling prototype for developing an affordable gadget lab -- is currently traveling cross-country and blogging about the journey at SparkTruck.org.
TechStars' latest graduates are taking aim at the pain points in moving, finding educational classes, and collaborating with coworkers.

...d up and shot a fire ball towards the nearest one, he then jumped on one and rode on it like he was riding a skateboard. As he sped across the large white room, he fired random fire balls to the robots. The robot he was on top of meanwhile, was trying desperately to get him off. As a final farewell gift to the bucking robot, Heatblast jumped off the robot and shot a fire ball at it, blowing it up in midair.Stinkfly flew through the air, god she loved it how the wind blew at her insect like face, her wings buzzed fiercely as she held out her sharp claws. They slashed through robots metal skin sending them crashing down to the floor. She made quick turns midair, always confusing her robots on where she is going next. A hail of laser bullets were fired as she flew through the air. With ease, she dodged them all, she then struck the robots down like a hawk swooping down on helpless dove.DCELR8 sped through the slick floor as he hit his opponents at their weak spots, the robots didnt have any time to react to him as he struck the coup de grace blows. He jumped up in the air and did some lightning speed kicks to the nearest one causing it to blow up.DCELR8 landed on the floor and yelled to Heatblast.Hey Heatblast, try to beat that! it was brief, but DCELR8 did not focus on the battle. That was all that was needed for the robots as they took aim and shot down DCELR8. He fell down to the ground dead.NO! Stinkfly too lo...

Well Refreshed gave local punters something to shout about with an easy victory in the At The Races Sussex National at Plumpton.
Trained by Gary Moore in West Sussex, the nine-year-old, sent off a 6-1 chance, looks a staying chaser going places. Given a patient ride by Moore's son Joshua, he joined the leading group with three left to jump.
Pettifour was his main challenger, but Moore jnr made a positive move, soon putting the race to bed, and despite a sloppy leap at the last he came home 28 lengths clear, with Double Dizzy running a cracker in third.
Gary Moore said: "That was a great result, it's probably the only National I'll ever win though! It's good for the horse and the yard. A lot of people deserve a fair bit of credit, from the vet through to Joshua. I couldn't be more pleased.
"That was his aim really, but if he comes out of that race OK - he usually needs a fair bit of time between races - he could go for the Somerset National at Wincanton, but it might come too soon. We'll just have to see."
Earlier, the Moore-trained De Blacksmith (9-2) won the attheraces.com & British Stallion Studs EBF 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle (Qualifier) in a tight finish from Shuh Shuh Gah, this time under Jamie Moore.
The rider told At The Races: "I was second in the last race (on Vino Griego) so it's nice to come out on the right side, especially for the owner Mrs Kiernan, who won the Lanzarote Hurdle for us (Shahrur, 1998).
"It was a bit messy, I was bumped around, but he he's done well to win as I think I used up seven or eight hits and then I had to put the whip down and look like a fairy for the last 100 yards. Luckily he just had enough in reserve."
Vino Griego was just run out of it after the last by Alan King's Salden Licht (6-4) in the ATR Novices' Chase. The Robert Thornton-ridden winner now qualifies for a bonus if he were to go on and win at the Cheltenham Festival, as King did with Voy Por Ustedes.
Tony McCoy was on the scoresheet in the At The Races Sky 415 Novices' Hurdle on Jonjo O'Neill's Mr Watson, the same horse who gave him a nasty facial injury at Wetherby earlier this season. He totally outclassed his opposition, beating stablemate Get Back In Line by eight lengths.

Songwriter Gerry Goffin, With Hits In The 60s And 70s, Dies At 75
Lyricist Gerry Goffin, who along with Carole King authored such Top 40 hits as "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" and "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman," has died at age 75.
NPR's Neda Ulaby says Goffin died this morning in Los Angeles. She says "as soon as Gary Goffin met Carole King in 1958 they started co-writing songs. She played the piano while he scribbled down lyrics."
Their first hit was for the Shirelles. They also wrote music for artists ranging from James Taylor to the Byrds.
Goffin and King were married until 1968, but their divorce was amicable and they kept working together, Neda says.
Goffin's wife, Michelle Goffin, confirmed his death.
King said in a statement that Goffin was her "first love" and had a "profound impact" on her life, according to The Associated Press.
"Gerry was a good man with a dynamic force, whose words and creative influence will resonate for generations to come," King said. "His words expressed what so many people were feeling but didn't know how to say."

New York-based investment firm Lake Hill Capital Management has opened its Lake Hill All-Alpha commodities strategy to qualified investors.
The commodity program, which Lake Hill currently runs for several institutional and high-net-worth clients, is based on the Lake Hill Index Strategy, which trades S&P 500 and Russell 2000 products (including futures options and related securities) exclusively.
The All-Alpha Strategy invests in a diverse book of exchange-traded commodity futures and options on metals, energy, agriculture, and equity indices. The commodity program's trading algorithms seek to profit by systematically responding to hedgers and other traders in the commodity option markets while maintaining a balanced, market-neutral book.
"We are enthusiastic about offering the extraordinary infrastructure we've successfully developed and applied over the past decade to our investing partners," said Zem Sternberg, the firm's co-founder and senior managing member. "This product provides sophisticated investor with unique access to a commodity investment that has traditionally been very hard to find."
Sternberg, a former Deutsche Bank managing director and managing partner at Archelon, co-founded Lake Hill in 2005 with Scott Kovarik, a former George Weiss Associates partner. Both men also worked at Salomon Brothers.
Other Lake Hill personnel include Justin Golden, managing partner (and former head of institutional equity derivative sales at Bank of America, London); Steven Nicklas, managing partner (and economics Ph.D); and William Li, managing director (formerly of G-Bar, Barclays Capital, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch).
Lake Hill Capital Management is a private firm specializing in quantitative and relative-value trading in exchange-traded-derivatives markets. In addition to the All-Alpha and Index strategies, it offers a tail-risk strategy, Lake Hill Convexity.

Then in 2011, "Plus Size Divas The Movie" was birthed. In addition to performing, Sylky is an educator with a bachelor's and master's degree in Music Education.

Editors' Picks
Wellington director Taika Waititi has teamed with some of New Zealand's finest comic talent to shake up the film industry and unearth the next Maori or Pacific Island screenwriting star.
Waititi, whose vampire mockumentary What We Do in the Shadows is sitting at No 1 at the Kiwi box office, has joined with Sione's Wedding writer Oscar Kightley, Shopping co-director Louis Sutherland, The Orator director Tusi Tamasese, and actress Madeleine Sami to set up production company Piki to fast-track feature film production, motivate screenwriters, and give the industry a shot in the arm.
They are looking to get started quickly - they want a script that is as production-ready as possible and delivered by August 1, with the winning candidate available to develop the project over the following six months.
"We're focusing on marketable content - the more depressing, classic dark stereotypical Kiwi movie is getting harder to sell and get an audience for," Waititi said.
"We want stuff that's entertaining, positive, uplifting and comic - it doesn't have to be comedy, but has to have a broad appeal. We need to make the New Zealand film industry sustainable again."
The short timeframe should not be a barrier, he said. Both What We Do in the Shadows and Waititi's 2010 hit Boy went from a finished screenplay to production in about three months.
Setting up Piki, which means "to energise" in Maori, as a creative hothouse was a response to the length of time it could take to get films made in New Zealand.
"In this country you often find scripts in development for eight years, and this doesn't seem like a very immediate way to make films."
Screenwriters needed to break out of the pattern of applying for Film Commission development funding, and start writing on spec with the expectation of getting paid once a film was made, he said.
"A lot of the time writers are willingly sitting in that development process - we want to work with motivated, pro-active people to get developed scripts before going to the Film Commission."
The Piki crew hoped to lead by example. All members of the group were working on scripts that were not going through the Film Commission.
