DENVER Denver police are reviewing video footage from city surveillance cameras after a shot was fired through the window of President Barack Obamas campaign office.
Police spokeswoman Raquel Lopez said cameras are in the area of the campaign office on West Ninth Avenue near Acoma Street near Denvers downtown, and investigators are poring over the tapes for any leads. She did not release any other information, citing an active, ongoing investigation.
Lopez said people were inside the office when the shooting happened Friday afternoon, but no one was injured.
A large panel of glass was left shattered at the office.
Lopez said she isnt aware of any previous threats against the campaign office.
The Secret Service referred questions about the shooting to Denver police, and an Obama campaign spokeswoman declined to comment.

We should have seen this coming after Sony explained that the PlayStation 4 would not be natively backwards compatible with its predecessors. Yet today's news from Sony Worldwide Studios that existing PlayStation Network (PSN) purchases won't transfer to the PS4 is a devastating blow to Sony's hype machine, and it's deflated my enthusiasm for the next-gen console.
@killyourfm definition of insanity, buying the same game over and over again and expecting it to be the final time we have to buy it :(
— Sky Black (@SkyBlack86) February 21, 2013
Hours after Sony unveiled the PlayStation 4 to an excited global audience, Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida told Engadget that PSN titles purchased on the PlayStation 3 will not carry over to the PlayStation 4 when it releases this holiday season. While Sony has wisely adopted a standard x86 PC architecture for the its new game console (translation: developer friendly), the PS3 was driven by incompatible Power PC architecture from IBM.
They suggested as much during last night's PlayStation meeting, leaving it to newly acquired cloud company Gaikai to save the day. Unfortunately, Gaikai's opportunity to play the hero was marred by vague promises and loose timelines. The company's intent is to bring PS3, PS2, and PS1 games to the PlayStation 4 via their streaming technology, but we have no idea how much progress has been made on that front. And it's hard not to doubt that cloud-based gaming can be a quality experience — at least in the U.S., where average bandwidth is quite low.
This announcement is a gun aimed at Sony's foot. While it's purely anecdotal evidence, my Twitter feed this morning has erupted in anger, with statements like "this just made me cancel PS+" and "no sale." Sony has gained serious goodwill for its PlayStation+ initiative, which grants gamers an instant game collection, discounts, and a growing library of titles for a nominal monthly fee. The catch is that when users unsubscribe from the program, all that content disappears.
Now, PlayStation+ is on a countdown timer, its appeal vanishing when the PS4 launches.
And even if Gaikai delivers on its promise of providing Sony's back catalog, we have to assume that existing PSN purchases and thousands of hours worth of game saves still won't make the jump to the next generation.
Video Game Examiner Matt Furtado made a sobering point in a conversation on Facebook:
"This is also a major blow to digital distribution on home consoles. Why push digital sales if the games may not work on future hardware?"
This is a nail in Sony's coffin that its marketing team needs to address immediately. Sure, Sony fired first in the next-gen console race, but now Microsoft may have a key advantage when it discusses the successor to the Xbox 360. Granted, that system also relies on a Power PC architecture.
Plus, with Apple and Valve both planning to take over living rooms, this isn't a good start for Sony's next-generation plans. Speaking of Valve and PC gaming, Sony's x86 architecture and its modified PC GPU means that PC ports of console games are poised to look better than ever. Food for thought.
There is an argument that suggests some people wouldn't want to port gigabytes worth of content to their new console. Let me counter with this: we live in a time where the argument shouldn't even exist. I have 20 years worth of games on my Steam account, and if Sony hopes to compete with a PC market growing cheaper and more accessible, Gaikai will need to deliver its promises sooner than alter.

They dont balance for PvP like, at all, its been a steady dowhill from launch.

Overpowered in PvP? I've heard people say that about Shadow / Assassin DPS (pre-2.0) and Guardian / Juggernaut tanks (and DPS post 2.0), but tanks?!? Easier to detect from stealth. Inability to cope with focused DPS (when compared to other tanks). No gap closer. Easily shut down. None of the proposed changes benefit the shadow or assassin tank for PvP. What's more, these changes make it even more important for Shadow / Assassin tanks to operate with a group ... the solo survivability of the class has been sacrificed for mitigation.
To a large extent, I think you are underestimating just what self-healing was doing for Shadow and Assassin tanks. They made us the only tank class capable of surviving moderate punishment without a healer or with less attention from a healer. Only champions and bosses were able to hit us beyond our ability to survive ... which is why anyone not playing a shadow or assassin tank should be dancing for joy ... we've just become a whole lot easier for you to kill.
The rebalancing of the class has been done primarily around PvE group content. You should check out the devs' top 3 answers thread: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=684656
With the design changes they have in mind, those changes are going to be modified either pre or during PTS. My concern playing a shadow or assassin tank is that now my ability to solo content will go, my survivability outside of PvP and raids is worse, and most importantly: I can expect massive nerfs to my active mitigation skills such as resilience. Resilience was an unbelievably great skill that only made sense given the spikiness of the class. If my active mitigation is as high as the devs are proposing, they're going to have to further reduce resilience from 95% to anywhere between 60-80%, not to mention nerf all other defensives to bring them more in line with the other two tanks. Bottom line? Shadow and Assassin tanks are going to have to relearn their class.
Some people think trading in the shotgun for the BFG2000 makes the game easier. It just allows you to enter a higher difficulty level.

They offer pvp and should make a effort on keeping it balanced.
WoW has always tried to balance all classes but it always used a 1 OP class so people keep rerolling to the fotm class.
SWTOR on the other hand has failed from the start with any pve or pvp balance.
Not to mention their version of free to play is prolly also the most restricted one i have ever seen.
If you as a developer create a pvp enviroment you need competend devs that understand pvp or work closely with the top pvp players in the game to get feedback.
This could have been one hell of a mmo but instead its not even worth my time.
And lets be honest they coulnt have done a worse job at is.

ZING! 90% playerbase gone over night.
That line still is mentioned in the guide "how NOT to run a mmo and treat your customers" for future MMO developers.
Swtor is a close second though.

it would have worked , if they had made it better, than wow
but, they couldnt
and they only lost around 400k subs
swtor lost way more, than that...on a bigger budget

I PvP'd in SWTOR since launch and cancelled my sub when they announced they'd be removing Ranked WZs. I've been unsubscribed since 3 weeks ago and haven't logged in since. It was the BEST decision I ever made. I was addicted to SWTOR though, but only because I had been leading a PvP guild for RWZs and had a few close friends. Sadly I realized that time and time again that EAware will just keep taking away from the PvP'ers. The PvP player-base in SWTOR will almost always be shafted, and it'll keep on dying until EAware can just milk whatever is left from the player-base.
My hope for this game waned immensely after the announcement of F2P, but now I have no hope left whatsoever for this overly hyped game when they took out RWZs. It's a ship that's sinking like it did at launch, and it will continue to do so because it deserves to sink due to an incompetent dev team controlled by greedy producers.

I'm sure there will be a PVP centric MMO soon or even now that meet your desires. You not tempted by GS though ? Still you can try that as a preferred player mid Jan 2014 i guess.

Arenas by the other side, are the best thing that BW did for the PvP since launch, is a fast action warzone with no place for mistakes, is all about skills and no gear. We have class balance problems, like pretty much all the MMOs out there, but a good team and players know how to deal with that, and still SWTOR is probably one of the most balanced MMOs talking about PvP.

I'd like someone to show me an MMO that doesn't suffer from class imbalance. I can't really think of one right now...
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
I was still playing with subscription time left. I said a few months back on the forums that I had been unsubbed since May, resubbed in between but immediately cancelled after the unfortunate fate of Ranked WZs. I love the pun intended in your statements, but I believe the game failed for me and for the 75%+ of the player-base that unsubscribed. Sure, some of those 75%+ players who left after launch may have came back, but they're probably just playing for free just to experience the class stories—the ONLY thing that separates this MMO from all the others. Those players who unsubscribed at the very least think this game isn't worth of a sub, and I'm with them. I'm also with those who quit, and that's because F2P is and never will be worth it to me.
Personally I wasn't a big fan of the class stories. One time yes, but PvE can only get so boring so I only had like 2 or 3 of them fully completed. The rest of the classes I had where at different points and I just stopped there. PvE to me has no meaning because unlike PvP it's static. Cinematics didn't change it for me either. It was just some eye-candy in between to convince the player that they were doing something meaningful (IMO, PvE is almost NEVER meaningful because it's static) when all the while they were just completing fetch quests. It's more rehashed content all of SWTOR's predecessors have done.
The reason why I'm not tempted by the GS is because I've already heard from sources that competitive PvP'ers are very displeased with it. That may not mean I will be, but I will also look like a hypocrite if I resubscribed. It doesn't matter. EAware has **** on me and my style of play long enough that I deem it a game that I'll probably keep away from indefinitely. I don't trust SWTOR being in the hands of 2 shady companies.
I will also not visit as a F2P player. I've made it clear before that I do NOT and will NOT support such a garbage model. I either sub and play, or don't and quit. That's how the MMO industry has been for many years, and I refuse to adapt to this new model that just milks the player-base.
LOL at RWZs being a fail. Not only is that your opinion, but it's a flawed one too. If RWZs is a fail from any point of view, than so is NiM content. NiM content should have been removed just like RWZs were. Only like the top 1% of PvE'ers on SWTOR actually run that sort of content.
Arenas are the WORST thing that happened to SWTOR, and that's because the competitive and elite PvP'ers got something that replaced a PvP system that was bigger, more dynamic and required higher critical thinking and reasoning.
Your whole point is just flawed, really. SWTOR may be known as one of the most balanced MMO at this point in time, but its "combat team" is completely incompetent when it comes to class balance. Heavy tweaks EVERY 6 months is a huge mistake. Most teams for Arenas run Smash monkeys and Scouperative healers, both of which are THE most OP class specs in all of SWTOR. Don't even try to refute that because two of my mains were those classes and playing them I felt almost unstoppable.
You must be more of a casual PvP'er because you don't know what the heck you're talking about. IMO, you are the minority because many players who mainly PvP are dissatisfied with how PvP has been handled lately. It's been mismanaged by like what, 1 or 2 guys in that department while the "combat team" suffers to actually balance correctly because the devs can't play their own game. It's just sad, man.

I believe in life before death... So dont forget to enjoy it while you still can.
I allways wonder why they even push PvP in games that excel in PvE... there is much better games for PvP, but there is only one world where i can live and breath the star wars legacy..
Smart developers know when to stick to PVE, but however its much easier to keep PvP people happy with much less money invested... expanding PvE in this game costs a lot and lot of money

That kind of player need smash-monkey (3 button wonder) and operative heals and still dont do anything special with them.
Kinda begs the question "how much OP class should be because of how bad most of players are", even i with my gimped undergeared classes wipe then with no sweat, its sad how many people just suck (yes i have smash monkey AND scoundrel and dont play them in PvP at all, it feels like cheating)
You finally figured it out, we figured it in January 2012 when they said "being killed by operative is not fun" and start buffing already good smash spec and nerfing operative to a point it really cant kill anyone. Ironically SWTOR was best balanced at launch (needed bugs fixed and certain tweaks) and been getting progressively worse since then.
SWTOR is PvE game with PvP as sideattraction for PvEers, i think they fully ditched PvPers the day they ditched Ilum and said "we really arent able to support PvP lets just ditch whole idea"
Arenas? Who asked for arenas? And now they force arenas to standard WZ queues, probably to justify they have numbers, solo arena queues are pretty much dead, and i see many many more arena premades back to regular WZs.

is garbage in Arenas and are not wanted by anyone playing competetive sadly.
Anyways thats for the replies people if you agree with me or not.
But the mayor point is that it is scary that the devs on the combat team clearly
have no idee whats going on ingame,dont play their own game and ignore most feedback.
Not to mention the super fact that the game need cross server badly like right now.
We will see soon, SWTOR could have been a great PvP game but the devs have done nothing but
destroy PvP since day one, i know i played the game since gametesting 4 months pre headstart.
Everyone i talk to is by default a moron so the only valid opinion is mine.joking

They made these posts last night wanting more feedback.

it won't go anywhere.
the devs have stated that sage and ops are the classes they play thus they will get buffed to the moon as they let other classes rot.

Sam Christine graduated from Aiken High School in 1954 – the first year of the school's current location.
His daughter, Donna Fanning, recalls the deteriorating band uniform she had to wear before graduating from Aiken High in 1979.
Rebecca Fanning, Donna's daughter, will graduate from AHS two weeks from now. She's ready for the next step, but admits to sadness about the old place and leaving her friends.
Following the school's awards ceremony on Friday, grandfather, daughter and granddaughter took some time to reminiscence over the school they have in common across 59 years. Donna's husband Mike also finished Aiken High in 1979. That was his only year there, and the couple didn't meet for another decade.
Like so many others, Christine moved to Aiken in 1953, when his father Dennis took an engineering position at the new Savannah River Plant. Sure enough, the family moved to the then-new Crosland Park, where as many as 400 homes were built. Aiken High enrolled not many more than 100 seniors that year.
"At least half of us were from other areas of the country," said Christine. "We weren't too well-liked by the natives."
He played basketball that year, bringing an unusually tall 6-6 height and a skinny 180 pounds. Now a 220-pounder, Christine enjoys the story of discovering the water fountains, which were elementary size. There's a photo of him on his knees, just trying to get a sip of water. And by the way, "We didn't have a parking lot then. Only one kid had a car."
After three years in the Army, Christine enrolled at Clemson to pursue an engineering degree and met his wife Linda there. Much to his own surprise, he returned to Aiken and worked with SCE&G for the rest of his career.
Donna Fanning attended Schofield High for her first two years of high school, not long before South Aiken High School was built to relieve Aiken High's overcrowding. By the time she graduated in 1979, there were about 700 seniors.
"I loved the school pride," Fanning said. "Everybody supported the football team, and we would go to the games for both football and basketball."
"I later served as a substitute teacher at Aiken High for five months," Fanning said. "I liked going into the teachers' lounge with my former teachers. They really did smoke in the lounge back then."
She didn't come back to the school until attending an open house with Rebecca and felt a lot of nostalgia. Actually, Rebecca had never been there either – even though she was on the high school swim team as a Schofield Middle School student.
"I remember how scared I was during orientation," Rebecca said. "But some underclassmen showed me around a lot and that helped."
Rebecca has thoroughly enjoyed her four years at Aiken High and the swim team. She got involved with the yearbook, the Beta Club and the National Honor Society. And her mother said proudly that Rebecca is the current Miss Aiken High. She is headed to USC as a biochemistry major and plans to attend medical school.
"She's the brains of the family," her grandfather said with a smile.
Aiken High hasn't changed much over the decades, although new construction over the next 20 years or so eventually replaced much of the campus. Christine and Fanning have commemorative bricks at Aiken High and Rebecca didn't hesitate Friday.
"This has been a real emotional week for me," she said. "I want a brick, too."

I hope this doesnt mean that Apple Stores will stop doing the ONE TIME courtesy replacement for free
Apple now offering AppleCare+ for iPhone, now includes accidental damage
Apple is now offering a new service called AppleCare+. AppleCare+ is only available for the iPhone and adds accidental damage to the usual AppleCare.
AppleCare+ for iPhone extends repair coverage and technical support to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds coverage for up to two incidents of accidental damage due to handling, each subject to a $49 service fee.
As well as this additional feature of accidental damage, AppleCare+ still offers all the previous features of AppleCare; such as two year repair coverage and technical support from the original purchase date. To qualify for AppleCare+ it must be taken out at the same time as you buy your new iPhone and costs $99.

Apple now offering AppleCare+ for iPhone, now includes accidental damage
They didn't replace my dead time capsule or dead apple express. Told me to buy another one. They did replace my iPhone 4 because they reconized it as being defective after having them use it for an hour. So my consensus is… if it semi-works, they fix/replace it. If it dies, though shit. It doesn't matter if there is a website called timecapsuledead.org
will it cover water damage?
So you pay for a warranty, and then have to pay again when something happens? What kind of $%^&*( up @#$% is that?! I am an apple fan, but that doesn't make sense to me.
They are charging you extra fee for incident of neglect/accident. If they just do a straight up no fees including accidental damage, the rate will cost too much which deter people from getting the warranty at all.
Its insurance and its optional. Take it or leave it. At least its not mandatory like other insurances.
If you look at the insurance the carrier offer, its actually not great. On Sprint, its $8/mo + $100 everytime you need to replace your phone. [insert dj scratch noise here] math time. $8*24months + $100x= 192 + 100x is a lot more than $99 + $50x.
Its insurance, take it or leave it. At least you have a choice to want to be f in the ass or not, unlike auto insurance or other insurances.
Big difference is sprint covers lost phones also. Apple isn't giving u nothing if u lose your phone...99 bucks or not
I notice the price of Applecare also went up $20, from last year. I have Applecare on my I4, and getting it replaced was a real pain. It wouldn't consistently act up, but I had a few videos of it doing it. They weren't interested in seeing them, just that I couldn't replicate the problems there.
And for my GF who broke here screen, there was no courtesy one time free replacement...
I have a friend that got his iPhone wet, and was honest about it, and Applecare actually replaced it anyway because he was honest about how it happened. He'll be an Apple owner forever...

Manufacturing downturn could be reversing across the globeFLOYD NORRIS
The New York Times | January 05,2013The slowdown in worldwide manufacturing that began in mid-2012 may be nearing an end.
Surveys of manufacturing companies around the world indicated that in December nearly as many companies reported that orders were rising as said that orders were continuing to decline.
The gains were concentrated in developing countries; China reported its best month in nearly two years.
But much of the Eurozone remained weak. France reported its worst monthly figure since early 2009, when the credit crisis was at its worst.
The figures are based on monthly surveys of manufacturers begun in the United States by the Institute for Supply Management and later imitated in more than a dozen countries by Markit, a British firm. Companies are asked whether business is better than in the previous month, both overall and by several measurements.
The ISM numbers use 50 as a neutral point. Any number above that indicates that more companies are reporting good news than are reporting that things are getting worse. The global figure, compiled by JP Morgan based on all the surveys, remained in negative territory in December, but it came closer to breaking even than it had in any month since May.
In the United States, according to the Institute for Supply Management survey, a plurality of companies reported declining orders for three months through September, but since then the figures have been positive, although by very narrow margins in November and December. Export orders appeared to be stronger in December than domestic orders, perhaps indicating some caution from domestic buyers as the so-called fiscal cliff deadline approached.
The weakness in the Eurozone has lasted more than a year, but for most of that period it was the peripheral countries that were holding down the reports. In December, though, both Germany and France, the two largest economies in the currency union, had worse order reports than the zone as a whole, something that had happened only once before since the end of 2007.
For much of this year, most of the major developing country exporters were reporting declining levels of new orders. But China and Brazil have shown positive margins for three months as the year ended, and South Korea had a narrowly positive number in December, its first in seven months.MORE IN National / World BusinessNike came out with a new product last Tuesday, an updated and for my feet more comfortable...

Discount Ramps recently added another lawn mower ramp system to the current lawn mower ramp product line. These new zero-turn lawn mower ramps are available in two models. The first model is a tri-folding lawn mower loading ramp model number: LL62643. This tri-fold lawn mower ramp is manufactured by Great Day and is the preferred setup for loading zero turn lawn mowers on to low clearance trailers. The tri-fold ramp folds in to about a third of it's unfolded length making storage and setup a breeze.
The LL62643 – Zero Turn Lawn Mower Ramp ( Tri-Fold )
The second model is the pair of arched lawn mower ramps. The part number for this product from Great Day is model LL21643. This pair of ramps is a nice option for anyone that is looking for the best portability and width adjustment. Because of the ramps' arched design it allows for the loading and unloading of many zero turn lawn mowers and tractors on or off of low clearance trailers. A few things worth mentioning about both ramp systems is that they both come with a 3,600lbs distributed weight capacity which means they are strong enough for almost any small to medium sized lawn mower, tractor, ATV, or UTV. Not only that but both of these ramps come with a 1 year manufacturer warranty. For more details about our lawn mower ramps see our main category for lawn and garden ramps.

Nothing like filling up a concentration camp full of souls with no work ethic.
Better have lots of playstations and ipods to hand out.
There cannot be life without text messaging.
Really, would anyone trust FEMA to provide 3 squares a day????
Perhaps a daily shuttle service could take inmates to a Walmart.
Food credits could be registered on the bar codes tattooed onto their
foreheads. Rehabilitation over time could be met by education
into the principles of Karl Marx, and the other Marx brothers.
Psy ops could select volunteers for experiments.
LSD would be handed out daily as the PA system blasts
the Magical Mystery Tour during daylight hours.
Harvesting of opium poppies would dispel many boring hours
of confinement and nurture self esteem. Free and wide distribution of
State product would enhance conformity and mental weakness of
resisters who remain at large amid the pillars of the homeland.
If you report scary individuals, we will give you some food, or option to buy
shares in Haliburton.
The dark menace must be interred.

I saw the show on Cable and what got me was there Fema's Camps charter - Yet to be written by Congress ? Maybe by Executive Order? Kind of like the Health Care Bill??? No straight answers by the Congressman who co wrote the funding for the Fema Camps. No
wonder a lot of us are losing confidence in our Govt.
"The two enemies of the people are criminals and goverment, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the Constitution so that the second will not become the legal version of the first" ~ Thomas Jefferson
I think some of these camp ideas trickled down from the COG
plans which were covertly hatched in the 80's.
I've heard the Patriot Act was lifted right out of this
early Reagan era underground scheme.
I gather that in a great emergency, the gov. insure its survival
at any cost. This implies that disgruntled useless eaters must be
rounded up an put to work to support the elite ruling class and
a new crafted generation of Aryan strongarms.
I guess I can see all the selected hierarchy being hurried away to
safe havens underground in a SHTF case.
If the rest of us remaining above ground have the presence of mind
to weld the lids shut and burn down all their satellite links we may have
a change to regain our republic.
That is funny!

God, Guns and Guts made America free,
Lets keep all three.
Inquirering minds want to know. anything that Uncle Sammy does goes into Nara (national records and achcive ) and the Federal Register. I have seen more bad things by looking into those things.... then I care to admit The first Patriot Act was very very scary...
Only way I could see the Govt. marching people into camps, would be if they were unarmed.
Commie Governments took the peoples weapons away and then hauled them off. Hitler did the same.
Mass imprisonment by the Govt. would require the full cooperation of the Military and Law Enforcement. Which would mean they would have too turn on their own fellow countrymen.
I kind of think those camps are set up for inner city rioters.
When the Republicans take back over and the Negros stop getting their free hand outs. Their could be trouble.
Just heave them in the camps till they cool down.

Former Baker basketball star Chad Donley is still doing what he loves — but now, it's on a bigger stage.
Donley went from Baker to Northwest Florida State College. After two years at Northwest Florida State — that included a redshirt year when he didn't play — Donley is living his dream playing Division I college basketball at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty is the school founded by the late Rev. Jerry Falwell. Donley said he enjoys every moment on and off the court at the Christian school, which calls its students "Champions for Christ."
"When I made my college decision, it didn't really have to do with basketball," Donley said. "I wanted to be at a place where I can grow, of course, as a basketball player and a man, but mostly I wanted a place where I could grow spiritually. So I felt like this was the best spot for me and so far it has proved me right.
"Almost everybody in a leadership position, as far as my coaches and teachers, are strong Christians and it's nice to know I have a mentor wherever I go. I can talk to anybody about anything and they just want to see me grow stronger in my relationship with God."
Along with being challenged to grow spiritually, Donley is being challenged to grow as a basketball player as he has stepped up in competition.
While the Flames struggled to a 1-10 start, the 6-foot-2, 170-pound Donley was finding his way into rotation and has averaged almost 14 minutes' playing time per game while scoring 4.4. Donley has scored a personal high of eight points twice.
Donley credits Northwest Florida State coach Steve Forbes, a former University of Tennessee assistant coach, for preparing him to play at college basketball's highest level.
"It's different (the level of competition)," he said. "But coach Forbes, he prepared me pretty well for what I would experience at this next level, and the competition is better every day. It's the speed of the game, really.
"Going from Baker to Northwest Florida, it took me a whole year, really, to get used to the physicality and the speed of the game. Here, that's kind of been my problem as well. All of the guys are bigger and stronger than they were in junior college; that's what I have had to adjust to."
Donley is pleased with the progress he has made since arriving in Lynchburg last June.
"I think it's transitioned pretty well," he said. I am really a little undersized for my position, but I've always got a chip on my shoulder. I think that's something that is going to help me to achieve success."
Growing up in a military family, Donley was used to constant moving until his family settled in Baker while he was in middle school. Donley thinks being a military kid also helped him adapt quickly to life away from his family and friends.
"I do miss the beaches," he said. "My dad was military, so I was kind of used to moving around quite a bit. It feels kind of weird for me to stay in one spot for a while like I did in Florida.
"I don't miss it that much, but of course, I do miss my friends and family every now and then. I just had to open up a new chapter of my life and move on."
Donley knows he wouldn't be where he is without the help of a lot of people along the way.
He had a special word of thanks for Baker coach Mike Martello.
"I learned a lot from coach Martello," Donley said. "And I'd like to express my gratitude for him going out of his way to help me. Coach Martello and coach Forbes taught me a lot so I can succeed at this level.
"I just appreciate everybody that believed in (me) that have been there for me. I just love my hometown."

The Brazil international is being linked with a summer move across London to the Emirates, with the 33-year-old reportedly reluctant to drop down a division to the Championship.
Arsenal are, coincidently, the visitors to Loftus Road on Saturday.
Cesar is thought to be keen on the move and Redknapp said: "He wants to go to Arsenal? Arsene Wenger will be here tomorrow, if he's interested, I'm sure he'll speak to me.
"He's a top, top goalkeeper. There's no doubt about that. He's a Brazil international so for him to play in the Championship next year would be difficult. I can understand that.
"But he's a good goalkeeper. It would take a good offer. How this game works is you buy players and those who don't do well, you're stuck with them but those who do well, they think they'll walk away for nothing.
"You've got to get what you feel is value for him. He's going to cost decent money if anyone wants to buy him. He's a good goalkeeper."

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin today posted this Status Update on Facebook:
Happy Good Friday! As Christians everywhere today remember Jesus' words that "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," we also recognize the intrinsic value and dignity of all innocent human life — life so precious that God's only Son offered Himself up to redeem us. As Bristol noted in her recent blog post (linked below), we just recognized World Down Syndrome Day, and days like that remind me of the great blessing God has given our family in our little boy Trig, who has taught me in a special way how precious all innocent life is.
Happy Easter weekend!
- Sarah Palin
When I found out Mom was pregnant with a baby who would have Down syndrome, I confess. I was scared. I didn't know what it would mean for his life or for ours. Well, recently World Down Syndrome Day was celebrated, and I saw this sweet post by Amy Julia Becker, who lists five things she wishes she had known when she learned that her daughter was born with Down syndrome.

Just after a recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court relating to the Voter Rights Act, the Republican-led North Carolina Legislature has approved some of the nation's most sweeping new voting regulations.
North Carolina Republicans said the Restore Confidence in Government Act would combat voter fraud and insure integrity in polling places, but they did not offer evidence of widespread voter fraud. Civil rights groups and many independent election analysts said the bill was designed to discourage voting by groups that tend to favor Democrats.
The voter ID law passed during the final hours of the state's legislative session Thursday night would require voters to show government-issued ID cards.
The bill reduces the days of early voting by a week.
The bill eliminates same-day voter registration during early voting.
The bill allows any registered voter to challenge another voter's eligibility and eliminates pre-registration initiatives found at high schools.
The bill also would end straight-ticket voting, the practice of voting for every candidate of a single party, begun in 1925 and popular among Democratic voters.
The bill would prohibit counties from extending voting hours on election day in response to long lines.
The measure passed hours after U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. said the Justice Department would challenge a similar voter ID law in Texas.
"This is the department's first action to protect voting rights" after the Supreme Court's ruling on the 1965 Voting Rights Act, Holder said. "But it will not be our last."
The North Carolina chapter of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People has called the legislation "new voter suppression tactics…a poll tax dressed up in new clothes."
At a press conference, State House Speaker Thom Tillis, a Republican, said: "This common-sense legislation responds to the majority of citizens who desire a fair and accountable election system."
Activists disagree. The Rev. Gaye Brown of Elkin said the new law is really designed to keep voters away.
"I dont know the thinking behind making the new law so restrictive. Obviously you have to have some paramators with voting, but this is such a harsh step. It impacts all demographics, especially the elderly.
Angeline Echeverría, executive director of El Pueblo, Inc., an organization bringing forward the voices of NC Latinos to pursue a collective advancement of social justice and political power through civic engagement, said that their non-profit is expected to release detailed data relating to the impact of the bill.
"It's not going to be good news," said Echeverría.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act required Justice Department "pre-clearance" for any voting procedure changes in 40 North Carolina counties guilty of discrimination against black voters in the past.
Surry County, Yadkin, and Wilkes are not listed in the counties under pre-clearance.
By a 5-4 vote, the U.S. Supreme Court last month essentially overturned the pre-clearance requirement, which had covered nine states and parts of several others, mostly in the South.
The voter ID bill, along with a measure imposing abortion restrictions that also passed this week, is among a series of conservative bills passed by North Carolina Republicans this year.

(Bleeping) tempers flare at Phoenix International Raceway
After spending most of this past weekend at Phoenix International Raceway, I'm still not sure what I found more captivating -- the horsepower or the accusations of horse-bleep driving.
"I've just had it. Clint has run into me numerous times, wrecked me," Jeff Gordon said. "He got into me on the back straightaway and pretty much ruined our day. And I've had it."
The short track found tempers running pretty short. No need to cajole, drivers were more than willing to run open throttle in front of open microphones.
"For him to act like that. I mean, I barely touched him," Clint Bowyer retorted after Gordon played demolition derby on what should've been the final lap. "Next thing I know, Brett's telling me on the radio that he's waiting on me. I mean, it makes us all look like a bunch of (bleeps). It's pretty embarrassing."
Did we mention that when Gordon got out of his car he was jumped from behind by Bowyer's crew and the garage area turned into an episode of The Jerry Springer Show?
"The sport was made on fights. We should have more fights. I like fights," Kevin Harvick said after taking the checkered flag with smoke and flames nearby. "They're not always fun to be in, sometimes you're on the wrong end, but fights are what made NASCAR what it is."
No question, the crowd was abuzz. And maybe that's because everyone with a driver's license can relate to that frustrated feeling of getting cut off in traffic. Hence, fans live vicariously though drivers who can respond with fender benders and fisticuffs without ending up in handcuffs.
"I'm more just disappointed in the quality of racing that we saw," Brad Keselowski said, despite taking a commanding lead over Jimmie Johnson in the points standings. "I thought it was absolutely ridiculous, and I was ashamed to be a part of it."
After scribbling down that choice quote, I got up to leave the press conference room and return to Victory Lane. Not yet. Keselowski then slammed his mouth into top gear in decrying how he got slammed for the brand of driving on display at PIR.
"It's the double standard that I spent a whole week being bashed by a half-dozen drivers about racing hard at Texas and how I'm out of control and have a death wish. Then I see (bleep) like that. That's (bleep). That's all you can call that," Keselowski explained in a calm but stern manner.
"These guys just tried to kill each other. You race hard and I get called a (bleep) for racing hard, and it just (bleeps) me off," Keselowski continued. "It's (blanking) ridiculous. And they should be ashamed."
Yet nobody left their seat. Whether it was in the stands or the press room, you didn't dare go anywhere until the smoke cleared.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
Elwin Neill of Neill Farm in Waitsfield didn't waste any time repairing the damage Tropical Storm Irene did to his farm. "My hay rake took a ride down the river," he said. "But I got it out and used it."
Neill leased heavy equipment to repair the streambanks himself, and he salvaged as much as he could from his flooded fields. "We went at it like we weren't going to get any money or reimbursement," Neill said. "And we haven't, yet." But the deadline for Farm Service Agency (FSA) funding is in October, so the farm will hopefully recoup some of its losses then, he explained.
The biggest change to Neill Farm since the storm came from the farmer's decision to sell his dairy herd this past May, but Neill had been transitioning to raising cattle for beef even before Irene, as he considers it a more financially viable option.
In the fields, Neill lost 30 out of 80 acres of corn and a couple hundred hay bales to the storm, but he spent all spring getting crops back in the ground. Now, he still needs to redo about 15 acres of the hay crop, "but the corn looks good," he said. "It's still the best sweet corn in The Valley."
You can't rush growing plants and vegetables, thus farms will take longer to recover than other types of businesses not dependent on nature, Neill explained. "It's going to be a two-year recovery," he said matter-of-factly. But he's staying positive. "Maybe things will be back to normal next year."

Insane or Hero of Shattrath. Not hard, or even difficult, but mentally draining. I can barely do any grinding achieves now.
Hardest skill wise was probably "Glory of the Icecrown Raider (25 Player)" while it was current. I don't even remember what most of the achieves were, just that the Sindragosa and LK achieves were bitches that took lots of attempts.
I think some of the other Glory of the ____ Raider achieves were harder, but of the ones I finished as current content, the Icecrown one was top.

I have to disagree with the notion that the iPhone is one of the best google phones. Google made remarkable strides in their iOS support in 2012, but there are some hard limits they can never overcome. You mentioned Chrome and Nitro, but Google will never be able to, on their own, make Google Maps the default (and Google for some incomprehensible reason has not integrated Contacts). They cannot make Gmail cannot download messages in the background, or open mail links. They cannot integrate Google voice with the dialer or make it work well with caller id (except on Sprint). They cannot make Google Now searches take any less taps to implement, or implement its predictive functions at all. Nor will they ever be able to do so, unless Apple changes their rules and/or Apple and Google link arms from Cupertino to Mountain View singing Kum-bay-ya.
None of this makes the iPhone a bad phone. It is great that these Google services are available on iOS, but every single one of them is less than best-of-breed, so it is just not close to one of the best *Google* phones. Instead of having the "best of Google alongside the best of Apple," we have "the pretty-good of Google alongside the best of Apple." To me, that combination still makes the iPhone the best phone on the planet. But the best *Google* phone? Nah.
