AUGUSTA — Russell Henley's first Masters tee shot on a cloudy morning went well right of the fairway. It wound up in a bunker.
His last shot Thursday was a 40-foot putt to save par on the 18th hole. The green was nearly surrounded by well-wishers.
What a 24th birthday.
Henley, a Charleston resident, gets to celebrate today at Augusta National by trying to make the cut in his Masters debut. You have to like the chances after an even-par 72 on Thursday, carded despite sundry distractions tied to any Georgia native/Masters rookie combo.
Henley woke up a few times before the 5:15 a.m. alarm went off.
That sandy welcome on No. 1.
Those unexpected greetings along the course.
The No. 1 tee box was on Henley's mind as he drove to Augusta from Charleston on Sunday night. And maybe since January at the Sony Open in Hawaii, where Henley earned the Masters invitation by becoming the first rookie since 2001 to win in his first tournament as a PGA Tour member.
"A little nervy at the start," Henley said of his bogey-bogey beginning. "Walked on the tee box and just got chills. It just kind of hit me that I'm here. It brought memories of standing outside the ropes and guys getting announced. It was like, Whoa. I'm the one inside now and I made it. It felt really good. I had to fight off a few tears and I was ready to go."
Watson and Mize
Whether Henley makes the cut or not, it's been quite a "Welcome to Augusta" week. On Monday, he was asked by someone in the pro shop to name a few players for an ideal practice round.
Hey, how about Tom Watson and Ben Crenshaw?
He was given Watson's phone number.
"Called Tom and he called me right back two hours later and he was friendly as can be," Henley said, "and I'll always remember that and tell my grandkids, hopefully."
More keepsake stories unfolded Thursday.
Henley started early, with 1987 Masters champion Larry Mize and Brian Gay in the second group off the tee.
"(Henley) is solid. I really enjoyed playing with him," Mize said. "His demeanor, his attitude, his mental game – I was very impressed. He obviously hits the ball great, and bogeying the first two holes and coming back and shooting even par is very impressive."
Positive thinking
A par 4 on the No. 3 hole started the steadiness. But Henley said the turning point was another 40-foot putt, at No. 1.
"I hit one right up there to about a foot to save bogey," Henley said. "That's a really tough pin, in the back left. Especially on the very first hole you've ever played in the Masters."
Henley saved the best for last — the crowd-pleaser at 18.
"I just told myself, 'I want to make par' and I tried to be positive," Henley said. "Then right before the putt I told myself, 'I want to make this putt.' I just tried to reinforce some positive thoughts. When I do that, more good things happen than not."
Henley won't be as nervous about the first shot of the second round.
He is buoyed by the last shot of the first round.
"I'm excited," he said on his way to the clubhouse. "I'm about to go see a bunch of friends that were here and didn't tell me they were coming. But I'm ready to get back out there."

I'm sorry, but I've been in other MMO's that were dying, and you could visibly see it when you played them. City of Heroes was not a game that was dying. NCSoft blindsided us and Paragon Studios, and right now they are getting the backlash they deserve. When you piss off your consumers as company you should pay a price. Look at what the NHL is going to face in the coming years after ANOHTER lockout. All NCSoft has to do is sell the IP rights and they can save face and the gaming community will back off. I can't recall another instance where a MMO that was shut down had received such support from it's playerbase in order to keep it alive.

Read the "lawyerspeak".
Paragon Studios was not profitable - maybe not, given that more than half the people were working on something other than CoH which was generating no revenue yet. My suspicion is that the anonymous source was quoting the CoH figures, and NCSoft the ones for the whole studio.
Also note that in Q3 they took no revenue for September and had to refund some stuff purchased in August so I'm not surprised the Q3 figures were way down.

2013 is shaping up to be a morbid year for online gaming, with the Zynga closures, the phone fetish, consoles on the wane, and the total customer pool plateauing (in absolute terms).
I have a feeling we'll see two to three more AAA titles announce closings this year. Maybe more. The thing about a move like this from one of the "majors" is that it makes investors press the other majors to do the same. There's a boatload of sub-performing subscription, FTP/hybrid games that are a bit older or younger that CoH...and are in even worse shape than CoH ever was (Vanguard, Age of Connan, Warhammer Online, and I could name others).

As to how much this affects NCsoft, clearly it does give them a bad image. But I think it is one they can easily survive, look how much stick SOE has had and they are still going strong.
The reason for this is that new customers are always coming in; this only really matters to those who were playing the game when it closed. They will kick up a fuss. Those of us who played CoH a while back will do a bit of posting too. But new players coming in this year will have not even heard of CoH, those who joined us in the last couple of years will have heard of it but never played the game.
For every customer who will now question NCsofts long term commitment to its MMO's, a newcomer is starting this year who will dive in. And there is the "well they would not do that to our MMO" position and that's where GW2 players are at. And those GW2 players are right, at least for a couple of years.
Some companies do put their players first more often, I would single out Turbine though it is hardly spotless when it comes to putting money first. They recently brought back Asheron's Call, it is not going to make them a a huge profit, they did it because it was what fans wanted. Keeping some servers up for a MMO and not adding content is not that expensive, but for NCsoft it clearly was.
It kind of amazes me how all of these armchair biz-wizzes know what is "profitable" to any specific company and what is not.
After all is said and done and paid out, let's just say NCSoft makes a nickel on every game account on average. Is that a profit? Yup. Is it enough to stay in business? I highly doubt it. The investors may disagree with *your* idea of "profitable."
Who has access to NCSoft's financials where they state clearly what CoH brought in for them?
Than stop stating your opinions as facts. Or at least state exactly what your facts are. There is "profitable" and there is "profitable enough."
I played CoH for years. I enjoyed the game and my time there (well over 3 years). It was probably the best MMORPG I have played yet. Let it go, already.

You keep portraying doom and gloom, but I'm not seeing it. The Zynga closures were all minor flash FB games. They didn't close Farmville, YoVille, or any of their most popular titles. The most popular games they closed were PetVille and ChefVille, both games with nowhere to go and declining popularity. Your FB credits and Zynga bucks (whatever those are called) are still good at any of their other games and they still offer quite a choice for those that like that style of game.
Then you mention the "phone fetish" as though that is supposed to be signficant. Toss in some hyperbole about consoles "waning" (nice power word though - I liked it), and something ambiguous about customer pools plateauing (another nice word btw) and it's just a bunch of vague empty nothing meant to promote your fear agenda.
There are more gaming options now than ever before and more accessible gaming than ever before. A few titles closing doesn't mean the whole industry is in a tailspin heading for a crash. It's sad that the game closed, it really is, but that doesn't mean every other niche game is going to suddenly cave or that the entire genre is unstable.
I fully expect to see other games close over the next couple of years, but I also expect new games will open up. If we're fortunate payment models will merge somewhat and we will see them compete on quality instead of just offering cheaper gameplay.

All the same, I don't think it's a good idea to spend a lot of time and money in some of the games on the margins. Too risky.

That's just more guesswork. Which was also stated in the article. There is no definitive way to know if the game or the studio was running at a loss or a profit.
** edit **
Regardless of what Matt Miller said, Paragon Studios had eighty employees. It seems unlikely that the lead developer or designer was doing the accounting.

Lineage 2 is their baby...their game...they are a publisher for GW2 but that is an important distinction right there.
As for marketing L2, yes they can if they want because L2 isn't the only grinder on the western market and based on the recent changes I wouldn't categorized L2 a grinder anymore.
As for the selling of intellectual property that is how money is made these days unless you are living under a rock. So, making money is what corporations are about afterall. You keep making assumptions and you seem to have the same myopic vision NCSOFT exhibits which is ironic.

Actually I got that from their 2012 Q3 financials. The Q4 haven't been released yet. If you go to the NCSoft corporate site in Korea and download the Q3 PDF you will see it says on the revenue page that B&S and GW2 are positioned well as the flagship titles of the company. "Strong growth was achieved in US and EU, fueled by successful launch of GW2.
Lineage out performed every other game but GW2 including B&S. L2 was the lowest performing listed title. Revenue by percent: GW2 - 27%, L1 - 23%, B&S - 20%, Aion - 16%, L2 - 8%, and all others 6%.
ANet is a wholly owned subsidiary company of NCSoft. NC is the publisher, but also the owner, just not the direct development studio.

On whether CoH was profitable? Some of you have reported the downward trend of the game. With the changes in US Taxes could CoH crossed its threshold prematurely?
There comes a point that the profits just are not enough for the hassle of maintaining a loosing battle. NCSoft pulled the plug on a low yeilding situation. I bet more and more of thier games will be based in Asia to stem off taxes.

Do I believe or not if CoH was profitable. Yes, they were. Anyone who bought the game when the x-pansion Going Rogue came out would have to have been a subscriber. Why do I say this? Basically when the game went FTP, it cut off everything that was good about the x-pansion. The new contumes and powers were not available in the FTP side, only the subscription. Before people jump up and down, it was in the Faq's and basically stated that in order to access Going Rogue you had to sub, I could not access any of the powers or costumes when I decided to give it a shot. Tried to keep going back and kept checking the website for any changes and none came.
I say that if your gonna cut off a big chunk from the FTP players, don't make it the stuff they have already paid for if they were former subscribers. It has the tendancy to piss people off. Played for almost 5 years from mid 2005 to early 2010. Took a break, then came back for Going Rogue and played till May 2011. Took another break till after FTP, went live and saw that NCSoft no longer cared about people who had bought their products, they just wanted more money. Kept trying to get back into it, but was nagged by the feeling of" We got your money, go screw yourself if you don't want to sub to keep the stuff you paid for". Finally uninstalled in Jan 2012. Used to be a good game, but I think NCSoft bigwigs just started getting more dollar signs in their eyes and it was'nt coming from CoH enough.

NcSoft has done massive wrong in the past, and this closure sucks and seems too fishy because maybe a month before the announcement of the closure Paragon Studios was showing us players new content new costume sets etc... If NcSoft was going to close it down, because it was losing money they would have given some sort of warning down the line at least to the devs so they wouldn't be investing time into something that would never see the light of day? It would be like if Ford was going to shut down for good but said even though we're not going to actually sell anything keep making cars and expending resources.

Also, I'm pretty sure it's not 95-98% of the subscribers - it's 95-98% of subscribers month-on-month (98% over 4 years would be 38% of Sep 2008 so it either kept over 98% or added a fair number of new players that spent money).

Acussintg a corporation of shutting down a game because it was still profitable but the company is lying is really not that different than acussing them of not being able to do math and understand the difference between cost and profit.
I played Cox for about 5 years so i can say it was easily one of the better MMO's i have played, most MMO communities remind me of the one wow has to be honest. I am really sorry for anyone that was still super attached to this game, but sorry games get the plug pulled cause they are not profitable if it was still making money it would be running. I have not played the game in years but the other issue of this games closing that bothered me is this is easily the best super hero MMO ever made cause champions and DCUO frankly suck if they were good they wouldn't have gone F2P in record time.

Bo and John find out who masterminded the prison break, Nora's held captive, Starr's surprised, and someone comes looking for Jessica...
John and Bo arrive at Statesville where Mr. Evans explains over one-hundred prisoners escaped, armed. He pulls back a curtain. They were able to capture the ringleader, who's unconscious: Prisoner 92973 Mitch Laurence. His face is covered and bloodied from the bomb used in the escape. Mr. Evans leaves to get an update in order to ID those who've escaped. He returns with the names of the men from Llanview who've escaped: Cole Thornhart and Troy MacIver. Bo grabs his phone and admits Troy tried to kill Nora once.
Nora's shocked to see Troy at the loft, who says, "I've missed you, Nora." She plays along with Troy, who claims he got out on good behavior. When she tries to call Bo, Troy pulls out a gun and orders, "Put down the phone." Troy admits he escaped. It was the only hope he had of ever seeing Nora again. She's flattered but talks about her and Bo's recent marriage. He thinks she only married Bo because he was in prison. Troy holds Nora and professes his love, claiming his brother Colin was the one who hurt her. The phone rings. Nora convinces Troy to let her answer it, so Bo doesn't become suspicious. "If Troy's there tell me you love me," Bo says from the other end of the line. "I love you, Bo," Nora replies. Troy disconnects the phone and plans to take Nora somewhere they can be together. She stalls Troy and offers him some wine and conversation. He starts kissing her neck. Nora lays on the seduction and makes a toast, "To us."
Back at Statesville, Bo tells John that Troy has Nora.
Natalie's terrified to see Mitch at Llanfair. Dressed in a guard's uniform, Mitch covers Natalie's mouth, halting further screams. When Mitch releases his hand, he taunts Natalie about killing Jared. Natalie shoves Mitch down and starts strangling him. She turns to run, but Mitch puts her in a headlock. He wants Jessica. Natalie would rather die than tell him where she is. He grabs her by the hair and starts to head upstairs. They hear Liam's cry through the baby monitor. Mitch thinks it's his grandson, Ryder. From the staircase, Clint calls out that Viki's taking care of the baby. When he enters the living room, Mitch pulls a gun on him. Clint makes a move for the gun. Mitch slams it down hard on Clint's back.
Starr can't believe Cole's at the mansion. How did he get out? He explains how all hell broke loose at Statesville. The inmates were beating on the guards. It felt so good to be outside. Cole had to see Starr and Hope. Starr wants to bring Cole back to prevent further trouble. He refuses to leave, not until he sees Hope. He begs for one more chance to see her. Hope appears and calls out, "Daddy." Cole rushes to hold his daughter. Starr gives them a moment then orders Cole back to Statesville. "I'm not going back," he snaps and shows Starr a letter he received. His dad is alive and is with his mom. Patrick promised they'll be together again one day. Cole has to find his parents. He begs Starr to hide him until he can take off to find them. Out on the patio, after their kiss, Todd and Blair enter the cabana. Blair admits, "It's too soon for me." Todd claims they belong together. Why is Blair holding back? "It's you," she replies and reminds him of the good 'ups' and the horrible 'downs' of their relationship. How many times did he stomp on her heart? Blair can't go there again. Todd can't promise he'll never hurt her again. No one can make a promise like that, but Todd can promise to love her and their family. She wants to love him and promises that someday she'll be ready to throw in with him again, just not tonight. "We have so much to look forward to," Blair says and kisses his nose. They enter the house and call out to Starr. They find her and Hope and question her about the man's voice they heard. Starr covers and asks them to take Hope to bed, who calls out "Daddy." Cole hides in the shadows. They wonder what Hope's comment was about. Starr claims Hope had a dream about her daddy. After they leave, Cole thanks Starr. She brings him into the cabana and says, "Take care of yourself." Starr turns to leave, but Cole stops her. Back inside, Blair sends Todd home but invites him to kiss her goodbye. He kisses her neck and leaves.

RAMAGE — Apartments in Ramage were reopened last Wednesday, May 15, after the health department testing ruled them to be safe.
The owner of the apartments, Debra Sanders of Danville, received a letter of clearance after two Simon Environmental, LLC, licesnsed cladenstine drug lab technicians collected nine composite samples for analysis for residual methamphetamine.
The six unit apartments were closed on May 9, 2013, after a meth lab was recovered by the Boone County Sheriff's Department.
The apartment complex, located along Route 17 in Ramage, had to be evacuated after a meth lab bust.
"The six apartment units were closed and occupants were removed pending testing and health department rulings," said Boone County Chief Deputy Chad Barker.
Barker said all steps were followed and the apartments were opened today.
"The property owner followed proper protocol," Barker added.
Samples were done in the living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms and the walls of the apartment units, according to the Simon Environmental, LLC, report.
"Based on our testing results and the law of West Virginia, this apartment complex can be re-occupied," the report stated.
A copy of the report was sent to the West Virginia Department of Health & Human Resources' Clandestine Drug Lab Program.

Who's Bad — The Ultimate Michael Jackson Tribute Band
It takes extreme courage to be a tribute band.
With an open invitation for comparison to one's musical idol, the stakes and the chances for failure to deliver a reasonable resemblance of perceived perfection are high.
Chapel Hill, N.C.'s longtime Michael Jackson tribute band Who's Bad has navigated through those odds with such practiced accuracy that the octet has earned countless mentions of being the closest experience next to seeing the late King of Pop himself.
The group's impressive theatrical performances and spot-on instrumental and vocal recreations have carried it around the world, selling out more than 50 venues in the United Kingdom during its 2010 tour, including London's O2 Arena.
They also regularly sell out shows throughout the U.S., thanks in large part to receiving high-profile gigs alongside artists like Aretha Franklin, The Four Tops, the Backstreet Boys, Boyz II Men and even Pitbull.
Who's Bad will perform Friday and Saturday at The Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Blvd. on the Isle of Palms. Tickets for each night are $15 at the door or online at The-Windjammer.com. Doors open both nights at 9 p.m. with the shows starting at 11 p.m.
For more information, call 886-8596.
The Get Right Band
Founded in 2011 out of the remnants of Soulgrass Rebellion, the Asheville, N.C.-based funk/rock trio has spent the last two years touring regionally between frequent short-term tour runs in the Caribbean.
The band features an eclectic style, with hints ranging from Southern rock to reggae to funk and soul, all of which can be heard on the group's 2013 debut "Shake."
Having spent numerous years on the tour circuit both as The Get Right Band and Soulgrass Rebellion, the members have performed alongside such acts as Galactic, The Victor Wooten Band, Jeff Coffin's Mutet, Larry Keel and Afromotive.
The Get Right Band will perform four shows around the Charleston area this week:
Sunday at Surf Bar, 103 W. Cooper Ave. on Folly Beach
Monday at The Windjammer, 1008 Ocean Blvd. on the Isle of Palms
Tuesday at The Pour House, 1977 Maybank Highway
Wednesday at Awendaw Green, 4879 U.S. Highway 17 in Awendaw
For further information, go to www.thegetrightband.com.
Capturing an audience as a musical act depending heavily on the instrumental aspects of its songs is an uphill battle, to say the least, and nearly impossible if being realistic.
Audiences are often too accustomed to having melodies and lyrics help them build a connection with a group's music, thus slowly built and long-lasting instrumental breaks often don't keep a listener invested for very long.
Local quartet Carnaval understands those risks and has managed to sculpt a structure of sound interesting, evolving and emotional enough to control listeners' attention without the use of vocal-laden, melody-based songwriting.
It goes beyond jam band noodling, however, and enters instead into a patiently complex sound nestled somewhere between the enveloping, symphonic style of Explosions in the Sky and a more scraggy version of Band of Horses.
Carnaval will celebrate the release of its new album with a performance Saturday at The Royal American, 970 Morrison Drive, with Sleepy Eye Giant and An Era of Echoes. The show starts at 9 p.m. and tickets are $5 at the door.
