Hire of Inoke Breckterfield completes UCLA staff

UCLA football’s staff overhaul that spanned two months has seemingly come to an end.

Coach Rick Neuheisel hired Inoke Breckterfield on Friday to coach the defensive line. Breckenfield played defensive end at Oregon State from 1995-1998, and has been an assistant coach at his alma mater, Weber State and, most recently, Montana.

Breckenfield, 33, replaces Todd Howard, who was fired eight days ago and subsequently hired at Washington State.

Banksy supporters work to prevent removal of the British street artist's work on Urban Outfitters

Dozens of onlookers loitered behind the army green walls of Urban Outfitters on the corner of Westwood Boulevard and Kinross Avenue this afternoon ““ but they weren’t there to shop.

A stream of visitors posed for iPhone photos and touched the surface of the alley wall depicting a stenciled image of a child toting a crayon-fueled machine gun nicknamed “The Crayola Shooter.”

The image is among the latest works by the elusive British street artist known simply as Banksy.

Westwood’s piece is among four spray painted designs to appear in Los Angeles this week, but they’re also subject to erasure. Images of an intoxicated Mickey and Minnie Mouse on a Sunset Boulevard billboard were removed Wednesday shortly after their appearance.

Fear of a similar removal of the Westwood “Crayola Shooter” inspired third-year psychology student Mickey Khan and a group of friends to create the Facebook group “Protest against removal of Banksy WESTWOOD/UCLA” Wednesday night.
