Gov. Rick Perry today inducted nine outstanding Texas women into the Texas Women's Hall of Fame, which celebrates accomplishments of those who have made significant contributions in areas such as business, education, philanthropy, military and public service.
"The Hall of Fame exhibit is a place where we honor trailblazers, pioneers and non-conformists who rose to the challenges around them," Gov. Perry said. "As visitors walk through the exhibits and read through the biographies of those honored there, they can grasp how much of a difference these women have made in the lives of all Texans."
Inductees are native or current Texas residents whose achievements have significant ties to the state. The women were nominated by their peers and selected by an independent panel of judges.

MELBOURNE, Australia -- Kim Clijsters and Samantha Stosur were easy second-round winners Thursday, while Vera Zvonareva struggled to advance at the Australian Open.
Clijsters, the third seed and two-time reigning U.S. Open champ, had little trouble in a 6-1, 6-3 rout of Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro, while the fifth- seeded Stosur also moved on with an easy 6-3, 6-2 triumph over Russian Vera Dushevina.
The second-seeded Zvonareva had to rebound after dropping the first set against Serbia's Bojana Jovanovski, but did so capably with a 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 victory. The Russian is trying to reach her third straight Grand Slam final, having lost in the title matches at both Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2010.
After an easy first-round win over Austria's Sybille Bammer, Zvonareva had her hands full with the 19-year-old Jovanovski, who is ranked 58th in the world and was playing in her first Australian Open.
Jovanovski, who lost in the second round at Wimbledon last year and was a first-round loser in the U.S. Open, confidently took the first set in just 31 minutes. Zvonareva, though, regrouped and broke serve for a 4-2 lead in the second set and a break of serve in the opening game of the third sent her onto the third round.
"I'm maybe not as sharp yet as I want to be, but definitely this kind of match will help me to be better the next one," said Zvonareva, who will face Lucie Safarova of the Czech Republic in round three.
Clijsters, meanwhile, had no such trouble for the second match in a row. After dispatching former world No. 1 Dinara Safina, 6-0, 6-0, on Tuesday, the Belgian star needed just over an hour to reach the third round.
"I was just happy with the way that I played," said Clijsters. "I tried to play both sides of the court, tried to be aggressive and dictate the points, and it worked."
Clijsters, a three-time U.S. Open champ and the 2004 Aussie Open runner-up, will face Frenchwoman Alize Cornet in the third round.
Stosur, the fifth seed and the last Australian woman left in the singles draw, has dropped a mere seven games in her two matches. She'll next take on Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic.
The first big upset in the women's draw took place Thursday, as seventh-seeded Jelena Jankovic was eliminated by China's Peng Shuai. Peng notched a 7-6 (7-3), 6-3 win with the help of four service breaks and will meet Japan's Ayumi Morita in the third round.
"I was leading 4-1 and had everything under control," said Jankovic. "I was playing pretty well. But then I just had some loose errors and she played as well some good points. And little by little, you know, she was getting her momentum and I started, you know, completely going down."
Other seeded winners Thursday included Shahar Peer, Agnieszka Radwanska, Nadia Petrova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova -- all in straight sets.
The 10th-seeded Peer bested Romania's Sorana Cirstea and will play Italy's Flavia Pennetta in the third round, while the 12th-seeded Radwanska toppled Croatian qualifier Petra Martic to set up a third-rounder with Romania's Simona Halep.
Petrova, the 13th seed, knocked out Australian wild card Alicia Molik and will next square off against fellow Russian Ekaterina Makarova, while the 16th- seeded Pavlyuchenkova dusted Germany's Kristina Barrois and will next tangle with Czech Iveta Benesova, who dumped Russia's Maria Kirilenko on Thursday in a mild upset.
Third-round play starts Friday in Melbourne with top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki slated to meet Dominika Cibulkova. Fourth-seeded American Venus Williams will take on Germany's Andrea Petkovic and sixth-seeded Francesca Schiavone will play Romania's Monica Niculescu.
Former Aussie Open champs Justine Henin and Maria Sharapova are also in action. Henin, the 11th seed, has the featured match of the day against Russia's Svetlana Kuznetsova, while the 14th-seeded Sharapova battles Germany's Julia Goerges.

Rainbow 6: Patriots still being worked on; will be re-revealed when "perfect"
Speaking with IGN at Gamescom 2013, Ubisoft executive director Alain Corre said that Rainbow 6: Patriots is still being worked on, and that the team doesn't want to re-reveal it until everything is "perfect."
Corre told IGN, "On Rainbow 6, it's still cooking. It's an important franchise for Ubisoft. We want to make sure, on this one, like all the other games we're working on, that we bring it when we feel it's perfect."
Rainbow 6: Patriots, which has shifted to next-gen consoles, may not feature the same premise/story that we saw in the original reveal.
"We can't say yet. We're iterating," commented Corre. "What we want is to have a compelling story. We want people who play the next Rainbow 6 to be astonished, to be very pleased with what they see. You've seen that the improvement in games over the last few years has been exponential. We have to reflect that improvement in quality. That's what we're doing on all our games."
Back in May, GameStop removed the game from its database. Hopefully we find out more soon; it probably won't be PAX Prime next week soon, but maybe some time between PAX East and E3 next year.

An accident on Interstate 91 southbound near exit 37 in Windsor hsa been cleared following a motorcycle crash, according to the state Dept. of Transportation.
The details of the accident and any injuries sustained are unknown at this time.
I-91 was a mess in Windsor all afternoon following several accidents on the north- and southbound sides.
The highway recently has reopened at exit 40 going southbound and exit 44 going northbound. Three separate accidents led to heavy traffic and lane closures.
Earlier today, two multi-vehicle crashes on the northbound side closed the left lane between exit 44 and exit 42, according to state police. There has been no word on injuries sustained in either crash.
A major crash shut down the southbound side at exit 40 earlier this afternoon, according to police.
Four cars were involved and two flipped over on the southbound side. Police said mutliple people were injured, but that the injuries were not serious.
LifeStar was called and later cancelled, officials said.

The cash will be used to pay for advertising campaigns to encourage people to dispose of gum properly rather than spit it onto the street.
Bristol, Chesterfield, Colchester, Hertsmere, Horsham, Kensington, Lancaster, Leeds, Lewisham and Medway get the Chewing Gum Action Group cash.
Plymouth, Solihull, Stoke on Trent, Trafford and Wigan will also benefit.
The scheme follows three successful pilot projects in Maidstone, Manchester and Preston, which took place last year.
In Preston, 'gum boards' were put up around the city for people to stick on their used pieces of gum.
Ben Bradshaw, Minister for Environmental Quality, said gum litter is a major problem.
"It's going to be hard work changing people's attitudes and behaviour," he said.
'Hard-line approach'
"However, each of these campaigns have the innovation to educate people in refreshing ways, as well as a hard-line approach to enforcement.
"It's this approach which made last year's pilots a success, and it's this approach which the Chewing Gum Action Group believes will create less gum litter in the first place."
Under the Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2005, all local authorities have the power to fine people caught dropping gum £50. In April this will rise to £75.
The funding will pay for advertising campaigns to run between May and September this year.

Health organizations need to jump aboard the social media wagon, or they'll miss opportunities to engage consumers, a new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute finds.
[Also read "Workers want wellness on-the-go"]
Social media activity by hospitals, health insurers and pharmaceutical companies is miniscule compared to the activity on community sites, the report finds. While eight in 10 health care companies (as tracked by HRI during a sample one-week period) had a presence on various social media sites, community sites had 24 times more social media activity than corporate sites.
A third of consumers use social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and online forums for health-related matters, including seeking medical information, tracking and sharing symptoms, and broadcasting how they feel about doctors, drugs, treatments, medical devices and health plans.
"The power of social media for health organizations is in listening and engaging with consumers on their terms,"says Kelly Barnes, US Health Industries leader, PwC. "Health organizations have an opportunity to use social media as a way to better listen, participate in discussions and engage with consumers in ways that extend their interaction beyond a clinical encounter. Savvy adopters are viewing social media as a business strategy, not just a marketing tool."
Four in 10 consumers say they have used social media to find health-related consumer reviews (such as treatments or physicians); one in three have sought information related to other patients' experiences with their disease; one in four have "posted" about their health experience; and one in five have joined a health forum or community.
The majority (72 percent) say they'd like to make doctor appointments through social media channels but fewer (around half) say they would expect a response within a few hours.
When asked how information found through social media would affect their health decisions, 45 percent of consumers said it would affect their decision to get a second opinion; 41 percent said it would affect their choice of a specific doctor, hospital or medical facility; 34 percent said it would affect their decision about taking a certain medication; and 32 percent said it would affect their choice of a health insurance plan.
"Social media is another source of business intelligence that provides information at the aggregate level, not only about what consumers 'like,' but what they need, how they behave and when their experiences demand an immediate response," says Daniel Garrett, US Health Information Technology leader, PwC. "Health organizations can engage IT to integrate social data intelligence with existing systems and processes, yet most are still struggling with how to manage the data from their own clinical systems."

After the video of Wall Street Journal personal technology columnist Walt Mossberg saying that the 3G iPhone will be available in 60 days appeared on the internet last week, almost every Apple news site picked it up, assuming he had insider information. Not so fast, Mossberg says.
He points out that he was saying this in an aside as part of a larger conversation about data networks. He also makes the point that, if he knew this, he would publish it in the Wall Street Journal first. The truth is, it was just an estimate, based off the same information everyone else has.
Walt also says that he doesn't really care when the 3G iPhone arrives, as it won't affect his review of it at all. His 60 days prediction may be fairly accurate however, as many expect a June release for the 3G iPhone.

Here are two long-focus lenses for long shots on 8x10, or "normal" shots for ultra-large format. Both are barrel lenses, there are no shutters. Descriptions of prices follow. Please Note: I wait for Paypal to clear to my bank account before shipping; this takes about 3-4 days. ****** 21-1/4" f/11 Kodak Copying Ektanon $180 or best reasonable offer I've done some googling about this lens and seen "testimony" from ULF shooters who say this covers 12x20. So don't worry about coverage! This lens appears to have been well used. It's got print shop grime on the barrel and retaining ring, but the glass is really clean. It's coated with hardly any haze and very few very fine scratches. It's one of the nicest process lenses I've ever seen, and I've seen quite a few. You won't find a sharper shooting lens than this one. Weighs about 1 lb 10 oz., so figure 2 lb 10 oz shipping weight from 90027. Pictures:


text: One of the things that I dislike most about going to movie theaters is having one of the "wait until you see this..." people seated behind you, giving away every plot detail just before it occurs. It's also for this reason that if I'm going to go see a film, I generally don't read reviews. Planet of the Apes (1968) is one of those films that depends dearly upon a "clean" viewing experience. I first saw it at a screening at the old Fox facility on NY's west side, along with NY film critics, who were also getting a first time "clean" experience. The reaction was stunning. Forty years later, Planet has made its way to Blu-ray, and while I would counsel those who have not seen it previously to go in "clean," they will also be seeing a very clean Blu-ray. The image, while not spotless -- "spotless" doesn't rate very highly in my book -- is a beauty. Virtually grainless, but not devoid of detail, the image looks fine. The lower level of grain may come from what appears to be a transfer from an IP, which could cause the slight softening. No problems here. Viewing two terrific films over a few days -- the other being Body Heat -- gives me hope that the modern classics will continue to make their way to Blu-ray, servicing our appetites for quality filmmaking on our chosen format. Fox gives us Planet of the Apes as a beautiful Blu-ray with a ton of extras. Recommended. RAH

Reading the menu vs. eating it
Transitory Gaslamp means you have to straddle tastes
Patrick Henderson 8:03 p.m., Nov. 24
A couple of weeks ago, before he played the Killers' unreleased single "Sam's Town," 91X morning DJ Chris Cantore asserted that it was a "leak"; the song's airing was unauthorized by the record company.
"That was nothing but smoke and mirrors," says Garett Michaels, who works mornings at competing FM-94/9. "We could have done the same thing. The record company also gave us a copy. I just don't think that the new Killers album is a big deal."
Michaels recently infused a little drama into his morning show before playing music from the new Bob Dylan CD. He told listeners more than once that he'd get into trouble if he played songs in their entirety; he then played portions of songs.
When record companies do allow "leaks," San Diego stations tend to be lower on the rock-radio food chain than our northerly neighbors.
"KROQ usually gets [an anticipated new song] on a Friday and everyone else in the country gets it on Monday," says a radio-industry insider who recalls the mid-'90s airing of a Depeche Mode song.
"KROQ did a world premiere with that song, so we just taped it off the air, cut out the part where they say 'KROQ,' and started playing it on our station. The record company got really upset and said KROQ was screaming at them since they were supposed to have the exclusive. I told them it was just too bad and that we were going to still play it."
The insider says record companies have responded with cease-and-desist letters that threaten legal action.
"I ignored them. We could have countersued for restraint of trade. Besides, no record company in its right mind would actually follow through and sue a radio station; they couldn't afford to piss off the station."
Legal threats to keep stations from airing songs "are just worthless pieces of paper," the insider continues. "Because of the Internet, the songs are now everywhere [before the record is released]. There are a lot of ways to find the music, like fan websites. The person who first leaked the song broke the law, but once the song gets out there, it becomes public domain. Besides, radio stations are proud to get cease-and-desists since it proves they got the song before KROQ."
On September 29, KROQ debuted "Anna Molly," a cut from the new Incubus CD that won't be released until late November. Other rock stations received their copies three days later.
"Whether you like it or not, KROQ is the biggest rock station in the world," says Michaels of FM-94/9. "But I think it is unfortunate that the bands' and labels' marketing plans are not taken into consideration. It could be argued that playing a song too much in advance could be detrimental to future sales."

Credit-card fraud can strike anyone, anywhere. Ask Chief Justice John Roberts.
Roberts usually uses a credit card to buy his morning coffee at his local Starbucks in suburban Maryland.
But on Tuesday, when he needed to be extra sharp for the arguments that day over California's ban on same-sex marriage, he had to pay in cash.
Seems someone had gotten his credit-card numbers, he told the cashier, and he was obliged to cancel the card.
So be careful out there.
The White House is expecting more than 35,000 people Monday on the South Lawn for the annual Easter-egg roll — an event that began some 135 years ago and has evolved into a major Washington happening.
Presidents now regularly appear, but that apparently wasn't always the case. Judging from photos, it doesn't appear that President Lyndon Johnson attended, according to Margaret Harman of the Lyndon B. Johnson Library audiovisual archives. He preferred to spend Easter at the ranch in Texas.
A great part of the event — at least for the kids — is the appearance of the Easter Bunny, who became a regular at least as far back as Richard Nixon's administration.
One of the first to don the bunny costume was Nixon advance man John E. Nidecker, who did the honors at least once, former aide Stephen Bull recalled.
(Nidecker, who died in 1988, is also said to be the inventor of the massive balloon drops at political conventions — starting with the 1964 GOP convention. And he sparked an investigation of South Korean influence-peddling in 1974 when he blew the whistle on an attempted $10,000 "gift" by a South Korean official at the end of a Nixon trip there.)
Over the years, a number of well-known administration officials have done the honors in the Mr. and Mrs. Bunny costumes.
Fred Fielding, White House counsel to George W. Bush, wore the costume in 2008 while associate counsel Amy Dunathan was Mrs. Bunny. Ursula Meese, wife of Ronald Reagan aide and attorney general Edwin Meese, was Mrs. Bunny every year but one during the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, according to the outfits' manufacturer, Jonn Schenz of Cincinnati, who has brought them gratis each year starting with the Reagan administration.
Keith Hennessey, the former Bush II National Economic Council chief who now teaches at Stanford Business School, did the honors a couple of times during the Bush II era, as did Republican National Committee communications chief Sean Spicer, who was then the assistant U.S. trade rep.
Bill Clinton's administration didn't use senior staff members in the bunny costumes.
"We used Cabinet-level people," senior staff and famous folks "as readers to the kids," said Melinda Bates, the White House Egg Lady for a record eight years as director of the visitors office.
In 2000, she recalled, "we had Robert De Niro on the lawn reading a story to the kids." De Niro, who often plays some truly scary characters on screen — "Taxi Driver," "Goodfellas" and "Cape Fear" — was nonetheless a great hit, Bates said.
Wearing the costumes is no simple matter. In addition to getting hot — "It gets hotter than hell," Schenz agreed — it's very hard to see through the bunny's mouth — though everyone looks at the bunny's eyes when they talk to it. (The bunny, however, is not supposed to talk.)
The limited vision can even be dangerous, not so much for the bunny as for the little kids running underfoot, Spicer recalled. That's why the bunnies have a handler to guide them as they wander about. Volunteers sign up for specific time slots — each an hour or so.
"Early morning is key," Spicer advised, before the day — and the costume — heat up.
We repeatedly asked the White House for any info on the bunny customs during President Obama's egg rolls, but got no response. Maybe the info is considered classified?
You don't have to be as smart as the Professor to know how this ends. Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus is demanding a "line-by-line" accounting of how much the IRS spent to produce two parody videos riffing on "Gilligan's Island and "Star Trek" and used in agency training.
The AP says the goofy videos — whose "actors" were IRS employees — cost $60,000 to make, but now Baucus wants a breakdown of the spending. How much for the palm trees and tiki mask props used in the "Gilligan's Island" set? How much for the surprisingly nifty spacecraft interior in the "Star Trek" one? What about those fake Spock ears?
In a statement issued in a "What did the president know and when did he know it?" tone, Baucus demanded answers. "I want to know exactly how this video came to be, exactly who is responsible, and what the plan is for ensuring taxpayer dollars won't be wasted on another futile endeavor like this again," he said.
The IRS has previously said it is increasingly using videos to reduce travel costs, though it expressed regret about the "Star Trek" video, which was used only as an introduction to other training materials, it said.
Knowing how those IRS types are, it shouldn't be too hard for them to report all the video-related expenses. After all, they probably kept the receipts. You know, for tax purposes.

Barclays 'in need of culture overhaul'
Barclays must go further in overhauling its pay practices after a culture of "overly generous" bonuses put profit first in the run-up to the bank's Libor scandal, an independent review has found.
A report by top lawyer Anthony Salz, who was commissioned to look at the bank's culture following its £290m Libor settlement last year, found Barclays became "too complex to manage" and that excessive pay and bonuses saw some bankers believe they were "unaffected by the rules".
In the 244-page report Mr Salz calls for Barclays to ensure pay is linked to the "long-term success of the institution".
Sir David Walker, chairman of Barclays, admitted the report made for "uncomfortable reading", adding that the company "must learn from its findings".

A woman with a gun robbed a coffee-kiosk tip jar in South Park Tuesday, January 14, at approximately 9:50 a.m.
Armed with what appeared to be a black semiautomatic pistol, a woman driving a two-door sedan waited in line at the Captain Kirk's drive-thru coffee stand located in the Gala Foods parking lot at the corner of Fern and Grape streets. Two baristas were on shift, and when one approached the car to take an order, the suspect showed her the weapon, told her not to scream, and demanded the contents of the tip jar.
Witnesses described the suspect as a Hispanic woman with medium-length to long dark hair, dark eyes, tattooed on the right side of her neck and on her left arm. They said she had been a regular customer of the kiosk in previous weeks and appeared disoriented this morning, possibly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
They described the car as a two-door, silver Honda Civic, in poor condition, with rear tinted windows and the possible license number 6NQB53. SDPD Officer Gerald Uzarraga was first on the scene to take a report, and robbery detectives arrived soon after.
Police welcome any information that may lead to apprehension of the suspect. Captain' Kirk's Coffee remained open for business.

With a laundry list of suspended players, Augusta State's women found themselves short-handed against UNC Pembroke on Wednesday night.
Despite Eboni Davis' career-high 21 points, the Lady Jaguars fell to the Lady Braves, 68-61, at Christenberry Fieldhouse.
With three starters out, Augusta State played its fourth different starting lineup in the past seven games. The Lady Jaguars lost their fifth in a row to fall to 3-8 overall, 1-3 in conference play.
"If anything, we just weren't in a rhythm," Augusta State coach Tes Sobomehin said. "Certain people do certain things and they weren't in their normal places. I thought we could overcome it tonight."
The Lady Jaguars played without leading scorer and rebounder Nicole Mealing, who is averaging 15.2 points and 7.9 rebounds a game. She sat out the second game of a two-game suspension for a violation of team rules. Guard Brittany Hudson also sat out for the same reason, while guard Kenisha Sheppard, who started the past two games, is out for the rest of the season due to academic ineligibility.
On top of all that, senior center Sherika Parker was officially kicked off the team before Wednesday's game. Parker, Augusta State's leading rebounder last season, did not play a game this season.
"She did not want to be a part of the program," Sobomehin said. "She didn't display the commitment that I asked of her to be a part of this program."
Davis shot 7-for-8 from 3-point-range. She added six rebounds and five assists.
Jasmine Godwin scored in double digits for the third consecutive game, posting 18 points for the Lady Jaguars.
Augusta State lost the rebounding battle, 37-31.
UNC Pembroke grabbed 10 offensive rebounds. JaToya Kemp led the Lady Braves with 24 points and 12 boards.
"We give up a lot of offensive rebounds," Sobomehin said. "We've got to commit to playing better defense on every possession on every player."

It has always boggled my mind that this album isn't in every Black Metal fans top ten list of greatest BM albums. Released is 1998 it is very much a product of its time, though this in no way hinders its impact or cultural relevance. At the same time when other meisterwerken were seeing the light of day (AttWaD, Nightwing, Nemesis Divina, to name a few...), Supreme Immortal Art was largely ignored, overlooked, or forgotten. Why? The answers put forth have always boggled my mind (such as over-written, poor production, too keyboard-oriented, etc, etc.).
The album is Symphonic Black Metal to a degree that would rival the compositional efforts of Emperor, Limbonic Art, or ...And Oceans. The song structures on display here are complex, deep, intricate and emotional. No doubt that this was achieved to a large degree by the core trio working with two other keyboard composers throughout the course of the albums recording. This in turn lends the finished product depth and scope unfound in prior or future works by this monumental band, with the keyboard elements largely disappearing altogether in favour of a more grind/math inspired future. One of the only real criticisms leveled against this album has been the heavy handed use of keyboard in the songs; this 'criticism' has always confused me, especially when taking Emperor and Satyricon of the era into account.
The songs themselves are always cohesive in relationship to one another, and epically broad in scope when taken as a whole. The lyrical concepts behind the album include satan, but rather then a comic book version of some Dark Lord, Satan here is envisioned a a real, decrepit, corrupt, and powerful force in equal measure. Other lyrical themes that are woven within and around that of daemonology are loneliness, isolation, revenge and despair; a far broader gamot to run at the time.
The vocals are perfect in execution and production, as are the lead guitars and keyboard. The single reason why this true work of art does not receive a 100% from me is the production on the kick drums and snare. The drumming by T.T. is (as always) some of the best in the genre, but a touch higher volume on the kick drums and some more depth/reverb on the snare would have been PERFECT. As well, some of the rhythm guitar/bass lines could have been clearer in the mix, and more depth through bass. Oh, why I wouldn't give for a copy of the master tracks! The samples are all taken from a single film, and fit the themes of revenge, betrayal and isolation perfectly.
Every track is sublime, but some of the standouts are 'Soil of Souls,' 'Eclipse My Heart/Crown Me King,' and the single greatest track, 'Blood and Soil' (truely one of the best Black Metal songs ever written and recorded!).
Ignore the detractors, and listen-really LISTEN-to this album. You will be well rewarded!
'Is there hope for the blood of life? Or... will I always fly alone?'

What Students Say About Online Classes
"I was very reluctant to take online classes, but because of my various roles as a wife, mother, full-time employee, and student my time was limited…. Online classes have helped with managing my time in these various roles, and have been a true blessing to both my family and my learning experience at WCC."—F. Robertson

Jordan Thomas attended Arizona State's satellite camp in Richmond, Calif., on Thursday and the Sun Devils made it clear they were interested in him.
A day later, the Hayward (Calif.) Stellar Prep defensive back committed to Arizona State and he said he's so thrilled he had to make sure it was real.
"It was so unreal when they offered," Thomas said. "I had to make sure I wasn't dreaming."
Article Continues Below
The 6-foot, 185-pound prospect who looked good at the RCS Los Angeles earlier this spring said he's been in a lot of contact with Arizona State co-defensive coordinator Chris Ball and so he was excited to show off his skills at Thursday's camp.
After the workout, Ball told Thomas to get in touch with him on Friday - that's when the offer was presented and the Stellar Prep standout quickly snatched it up.
The Northern California prospect said he felt no need to wait any longer.
"The camp was (Thursday), it was a one-day camp in Richmond and I won the safety MVP award," Thomas said.
"I have always been in contact with coach Ball and (Thursday) at the camp he congratulated me and told me to hit him on Facebook (Friday). I hit him up and he asked me to call him and we were talking on the phone and he offered me.
"When he offered, I knew I was going to commit right there. I always got good vibes from all the coaches there during my recruiting."
Thomas has not taken any visits to Arizona State yet but he plans to visit campus for the Sun Devils' junior day next month.

" Bar. 13 Lower crescent, Belfast BT7 1NR. Tel:01232 323 349. "
Bar Twelve is part of what used to be the Regency Hotel. It's now a three-part complex with a restaurant called "Metro Brasserie" and a hotel "Crescent Townhouse". It's situated just off Botanic Avenue, in Lower Crescent in Belfast's busy pub area. It's one of those bars where the majority of people who frequent it at night are only stopping in to meet people, or nip in for a quick pint before nipping off somewhere else. There is no entertainment as such – some music is played (a mixture of styles) over the PA system and there's a quiz once a week on Films and entertainment. There is plenty of nice seating, including some very comfy leather seats, and an excellent table service which means you can plonk yourself down at a table and not get up until you have to go home. It serves the usual array of beers and spirits a well as a fairly good cocktail and wine list. This means, on a busy Friday or Saturday night, the crowd ebbs and flows which can confuse as one minute the bar will be busy, then fairly empty, then busy again. At it's busiest however, it never gets so packed that it becomes uncomfortable, and the door staff are always friendly and reasonable (in my experiences anyway!). Despite this, I find it an excellent place to spend an entire evening, especially if you get there early enough and get some nice seats, and make friends with whatever waiter or waitress is working that night. The fact that apart from one night, there is no real entertainment on, means that it's somewhere you can go with friends and just chat while have a few drinks without having to worry about competition from the band / disco / fiddly-dee (i.e. traditional Irish music) people in the corner. It's a mixed crowd that attends Bar Twelve – from the younger drinkers to the older generation. This gives it a nice atmosphere. Unlike some other bars around Bel
fast, trouble is rarely, if ever seen at Bar Twelve.


text: 03/22/13: a new pdf has been uploaded. There are NO changes to the directions, I just made some formatting changes to reduce the number of printed pages from 6 to 5. 05/27/12: I have updated the pdf (yet again) to include a cowl/hood option so you can "have your cake and eat it too!" 04/13/12: I have updated the pdf to incude a crew-neck version of this lovely, flattering sweater design. The original Rib Tickler (http://www.craftsy.com/pattern/knitting/Clothing/Rib-Tickler-Hoodie/1899) used bulky cotton ... and I received a lot of comments to design a worsted-weight version. So, here you go! This easy-to-knit hoodie requires very little finishing since it's done completely in the round ... from the hem to the underarms, then the sleeves are knit in the round, than all are joined and worked to the neck with a hood to finish off. All different kinds of ribs are worked for this cotton sweater in comfy silhouette - 6x6 for the hem, 4x4 decreasing to 3x3 decreasing to 2x2 decreasing to 1x1 for the yoke, and 3x3 on the sleeve cuff. The sleeves can be worn cuffed or straight and the cozy hood completes the look. The hood is edged with garter which on it's side looks like a 1x1 rib. The sample is knit using Kollage's Riveting (worsted), a yarn made from recycled denim, in Forest Denim ... giving the design a clean, natural look in an easy-care yarn knit-up in an easy-wear style. This one will definitely tickle your fancy! BASIC SKILLS NECESSARY ability to knit in the round GAUGE 17s x 22rnds = 4" stockinette knit in the round on #7s SIZING / FINISHED MEASUREMENTS XS - 5X SUGGESTED YARN 2000 yards of Worsted weight

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for LostNMissing, Inc, Londonderry, NH, USA
LostNmissing came in to my life when I most needed the support of someone. Not only did they take their time to listen to me but they also went above and beyond their call of duty to help and assist in spreading the word of my missing son Angel "Ito" Garcia missing status amoung other services. LostNmissing provided all the needed materials to mark the one year anniversary of my son's disappearance, they have and still continue to provide me as well as the rest of the family and friends with personal attention.
I am pleased to say that LostNmissing have jumped through many hoops to help obtain a donation of a billboard to help spread the word of my son's disappearing and thanks to their hard work and commitment they succeded. They not only volunteer to help with the Vigil, and the billboard but they also offered their services to help with any upcoming searches should we have any one come up.
LostNmissing continuosly update and spread any new information via the internet through a page that they have created for my son, their own page and facebook.
LostNmissing with their genuine, dedicated and persistance way they have helped me, my family and friends not only to understand the meaning of the word "volunteer" but also the value of volunteering. There are many things that we cherish in this live, for many of us is our families, our homes, our jobs, life itself and for others it's just about what they have or don't have but for me the act of GIVING is one of the most beautiful guesture of man kind. Thank you Cynthia for your hard work and thank you to the wonderfull team of Angels who also helped very much to make everything possible.
God bless you all!
Love, Laura

Eric Dier: My Tottenham teammates thoroughly deserve shot at England Euro glory
Dier and fellow Spurs stars Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Kyle Walker and Danny Rose pick up boarding cards tomorrow for England's flight to France – and hope to land in football's hall of fame when they return.
The young stars believe they can be England's future, as they get ready for England's Euro 2016 opener against Russia next Saturday.
Dier said: "It's all a bit crazy isn't it? But it's great and I think it's thoroughly deserved for the season all five of us had at Tottenham.
Every single one of us deserves it.
"It's great to be playing with them for England. We enjoy it. It's just the same here with England."
Dier has taken an unusual route into the England set-up – born in Cheltenham, he grew up in Portugal and came through the ranks at Sporting Lisbon before joining Tottenham two years ago.
Having found a way to the top, he plans to stay there.

Columbia Restaurant - SandKey Ratings and Reviews
We met up with some old friends and raved about the place. The server started off the experience poorly. Very poor attitude. He did get a little better towards the end of the meal. Usually we get great enthusiastic servers, not this time. We will be back because we love this place.
Had to wait for our reserved table but it was worth the wait. The waiter was exceptional. Friendly and attentive. Salads and Gazzspacho were excellent. White Sangria Pitcher was tasty but a very small portion. The Spanish rice with seafood was pretty tasteless. Not impressed at all. The shrimp dish was good....not great, just good. The dessert special was large and very good. So a really mixed bag. Would I rush back, no!
Ate inside at Columbia Sunday night with a party of 6, and outside today (hotel is next door). Inside, I couldn't hear my friend at the far side of the table. Given it was his birthday, that was pretty disappointing for both of us. They need better sound dampening inside. Would not recommend for a larger party. Food, however, is great.
The food was incredible. Excellent service. We were unfortunately seated directly beside a table of 10 drunk and obnoxious hens celebrating a birthday. It was disappointing because I was very much looking forward to a quiet romantic vacation dinner with my boyfriend. Towards the end of our meal they left and the manager was kind enough to comp our desserts (which were delicious). I would definitely go back with care to sit somewhere a little more quiet.
Came here on recommendation by a friend and glad about it...really fantastic food - great flavors and combinations. Beautiful view on the water. Service was very professional although a bit slow but that was ok because we were not in a rush and were enjoying the experience. Will definitely fine here (or at another Columbia location) again.
Even for a Friday night, it was very loud. Our waiter Adam H, did not miss a beat and was on top of everything. The paella was still delicious even if the fish was a little over cooked. The sangria was awesome, but the hit of the night was the white chocolate bread pudding. I can't wait to go back even if it is just for dessert
We love Columbia and eat there every time we're down in Clearwater Beach. The food is unique and tasty. The service is professional. The room is beautiful and they have a great water front deck. Cost is reasonable. Paella Valenciana is our favorite after tapas. And don't miss the 1905 salad.

Agents with the Transportation Security Administration at Alaska's Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport discovered what police are describing as a "pipe bomb" in the carry-on luggage of an oil worker Sunday.
[sharequote align="center"]"…small, handmade explosive device was found at a screening point on a carry-on bag."[/sharequote]
The FBI bomb disposal team was called in just before 2 p.m. after the "small, handmade explosive device was found at a screening point on a carry-on bag," NBC News reported.
According to the Anchorage Daily News, authorities said the man — whose name has not been released — initially claimed the small explosive device was an "avalanche device." Police, however, appeared skeptical of his story.
"I don't know of any avalanche dangers up on the North Slope," Jesse Davis, chief of the airport's police and fire department, said, adding that the FBI was interviewing him.
According to Davis, the pipe bomb lacked a triggering device, the Anchorage Daily News reported, noting that police downplayed the incident.
The incident did not shut down the airport, but did close the TSA checkpoint for about an hour, which may have caused some flight delays.

Ukip's journey to Westminster
Just six weeks after Ukip's historic parliamentary breakthrough, the party is celebrating the election of its second MP.
The eurosceptic party was set up in 1993 by a cademic Alan Sked and other members of a cross-party anti-European group called the Anti-Federalist League . This is how Ukip's story has unfolded:
:: May 1 1997: Ukip candidates stand in the general election but win no seats. Mr Sked resigns after the election, saying he is concerned about ''racist'' elements.
:: June 10 1999: Under the leadership of millionaire businessman Michael Holmes, Ukip wins three seats in the European Parliament. A then little-known Nigel Farage becomes an MEP.
:: June 10-13, 2004: Now under the leadership of Roger Knapman, Ukip comes third in European elections with 12 MEPs. Chat-show host and former Labour MP Robert Kilroy-Silk joins the party during this campaign.
:: July 23 2004: Ukip comes third in the Hartlepool by-election. Mr Kilroy-Silk hints at ambitions to challenge Mr Knapman.
:: January 25, 2005: Mr Kilroy-Silk ends a tumultuous period by quitting the party, labelling it a ''joke''. He establishes his own party, called Veritas - Latin for truth. Mr Knapman says he will ''break open the champagne''.
:: May 5 2005: Ukip fields 495 candidates in the general election and gains 2.3% of the vote but no seats.
:: April 4 2006: Mr Farage demands an apology from David Cameron after he describes Ukip members as ''fruitcakes, loonies and closet racists, mostly''. Mr Cameron does not apologise.
:: September 12 2006: Mr Farage is elected Ukip leader with 45% of the vote.
:: June 4 2009: Ukip comes second in the European elections with 16.5% of the vote and 13 MEPs.
:: November 26 2009: Lord Pearson of Rannoch becomes leader, replacing Mr Farage, who stands down to challenge speaker John Bercow for his parliamentary seat.
:: May 6 2010: Ukip fields 572 candidates in the general election. Mr Farage is treated for broken ribs and minor injuries after a plane he is travelling in comes down at Hinton-in-the-Hedges Airfield near Brackley, Northamptonshire. He says he is ''lucky to be alive''. The party increases its share of the poll by 0.9% but takes no seats. In Buckingham, Mr Farage polls 17% but comes third behind Mr Bercow and John Stevens, the Buckinghamshire Campaign For Democracy candidate.
:: August 17 2010: Lord Pearson resigns as leader.
:: November 5 2010: Mr Farage completes his second coming as he is re-elected leader with 60.5% of the vote.
:: January 13 2011: Paul Nuttall finishes fourth in the Oldham East and Saddleworth by-election.
:: March 3 2011: Jane Collins comes second in the Barnsley Central by-election. Mr Farage welcomes this result, saying: ''The Lib Dems are no longer the voice of opposition in British politics - we are.''
:: February 28 2013: In the Eastleigh by-election following the resignation of Liberal Democrat MP Chris Huhne, Ukip candidate Diane James polls 27.8% and 11,571 votes - the highest ever for any Ukip parliamentary candidate. But the Lib Dems retain the seat.
:: May 2 2013: Ukip makes significant gains in local council elections, including in Norfolk, Lincolnshire and Kent.
:: May 22 2014: Ukip gains 27.49% of the vote at European elections - the highest for any British party in that election. It gains 11 MEPs, taking its total to 24.
:: August 28 2014: Clacton's Conservative MP Douglas Carswell, with a majority of more than 12,000, forces a by-election by defecting to Ukip and resigning from Parliament, saying the Tories could not promise ''serious change'' in Europe. His defection sparks speculation that MPs across the political spectrum could join Ukip.
:: September 27 2014: Rochester and Strood MP Mark Reckless forces a by-election by announcing his defection to Ukip.
:: October 9 2014: As David Cameron celebrates his 48th birthday, voters go to the polls in Clacton where Ukip could gain its first MP. Ukip pushes hard in the Lancashire constituency of Heywood and Middleton, which is also holding a by-election following the death of Labour MP Jim Dobbin.
:: October 10 2014: Mr Farage claims Ukip is on course to hold the balance of power in the next Parliament winning Clacton with a 12,000 majority and coming within 600 votes of overturning Labour's 6,000 majority in Heywood & Middleton.
:: October 13: Tory defector Mr Carswell returns to Parliament as Ukip's first directly-elected MP. Mr Farage hails it as an ''emotional'' moment for Ukip.
:: October 21: Mr Farage comes under fire from leaders of Britain's Jewish community over his link up with a member of a controversial right-wing Polish party in order to save his grouping in the European Parliament. The Board of Deputies of British Jews says it is ''gravely concerned'' Ukip MEPs will be sitting in the same group as the Polish Congress of the New Right (KNP) whose leader Janusz Korwin-Mikke has been denounced as a Holocaust denier.
:: October 22: A ComRes poll puts Ukip on course for a resounding victory in Rochester and Strood. The snapshot shows the eurosceptics 13 points ahead, with 43% of the votes, while the Conservatives are on 30%.
:: November 20: Voters go to the polls in the Rochester and Strood by-election.
:: November 21: Mr Reckless wins by a majority of 2,920, a smaller-than-forecast margin of defeat. The Liberal Democrats finish fifth with just 349 votes.
