Tom, you have been a driving force in the game. best of luck in anything you do and dont be a stranger to the forum!
"You have not converted a man because you have silenced him." -John Morley
Tom, I wish I could say this is a huge surprise, but its not. I remember having a conversation with you in the bar at IAO, and it just left me with a feeling. I can't say I expected this, but it isn't all that surprising.
Over the years, you've been a lot of things to the paintball industry. An innovater, a player, and advice-giver, a gun-maker, a proof-seeker, and most importantly, a friend to a lot of people. You may think you'll be forgotten in a year, but I doubt thats possible. You've had too big an impact upon this sport that even in its changing / decaying form, you're name will still be heard and recognized for years to come.
There's a few things about you that stand out to anyone who meets you.
First is your approachability. At every event I've seen you at, you take time out to talk to those who want to talk. Whether its just for a quick hello, or eating donuts and gossiping, or hosting tech classes out for free on your own time, I've never seen you turn anyone away or tell them you were too busy. Tons of industries leaders don't make themselves approachable to their customers and fans, your friendliness has always made you stand out amongst your peers.
Another thing is your enthusiasm for the sport. I don't think I've met many people who I can honestly say are as in love with paintball as you are. I've seen you up late at night plotting how to best destroy Shatner, seen you getting excited over new breakthroughs in technology, and I've unfortunately seen you deeply hurt about the direction the sport is heading in.
You've invented technology that has changed the face of paintball, but I think perhaps your greatest contribution may have been your involvement in acquiring and promoting AO. Building a business is an accomplishment, but one lots of people are capable of. Building a community that has grown in so many ways is amazing.
AOers are more than just people who talk on the internet. A lot of us have formed tight and meaningful friendships with people who live halfway across the country, or sometimes halfway across the globe. And you've played a part in that. In a lot of ways, you're the father to the AO community. I can't even count the number of kids I see on AO who look up to you almost as a second father. I know right now you are probably feeling kind of low, but just try to think about the positive effect you have had on so many people. You've become a part of peoples lives. And thats something no one will forget.
I truly hope that while you and AGD may have parted ways, you can still find time to stay in contact with all those on AO who still consider you a friend and a role-model. I know at times through the years we've put you through hell, but we're still here for you and I hope that doesn't change.
The community you've begun won't die, it won't fade away or be forgotten. AO is your legacy, and in my opinion, thats something to be truly proud of. When you think about whats been done on this website, its awe-inspiring.
I wish you luck in all your future endeavors, I'm sure with your intelligence and enthusiam you'll be able to accomplish whatever it is you set your mind to.
Brian "Thordic" Casani
I for one will never forget his contributions to the sport. Nor will i forget how awesome it was to speak to him and play along side him. I do hope that he does not drop under the radar, and remains active on the forums just as a friendly voice and continues to show up at events and meets. I also hope that the AO community does not fall do to this. I have met some really cool people on here and would hate to see it go.
I think of Tom Kaye as a living legend. And he actually is awesome. I mean some idols or legends turn out to be mediocre or not what they say they are. But Tom is truely a great man. Intelligent, friendly, and a beast on the field. I remember the final battle of shatberball 3 and how he rallied all the troops and did that massive charge. That was great and we all did cause we all not only wanted to win but we trusted him and honored this guy. Look at the registration for shatner3 it was one sided in favor of Tom up intill the event. Why? Its not that we dont like shatner or anything but we dont respect and revere him like we do Tom.
I wish him luck and good fortune with whatever he chooses to do.
As for me and my friends we are planning on wearing either an arm band or badge in respect to Tom Kaye leaving the sport. Perhaps all of at AO can do this as a sign of allegance or support. And when people ask about it we can explain the legacy of Tom Kaye.
While many heads of other paintball companies have always stated that everything they do is to further the sport of paintball. You are however one of the few who backed up your words with action. You've continued to allow your passion for the sport guide you through this market, not the potential for a quick buck. It is a truely commendable feat especially in these times. What you've done for paintball will never be forgotten by those who truely love and respect the sport.
You set out to do what you wanted to do. Whether you've accomplished everything you wanted to in the sport, I do not know. What I do know is that every achievement you've accomplished will never be taken away from you. Goodluck in whatever venture you will set out towards, and always remember; To strive, to seek, and to never yield.
ive been the proud owner of 4 agd markers since i started playing almost 5 years ago. i have always enjoyed the agd community as well as the support. my only concern is that this doesnt change, but i do think that we will be in good hands. hats off to tom, enjoy looking up at the stars, and down in the dirt.

The easy roads are crowded
And the level roads are jammed;
The pleasant little rivers
With the drifting folks are crammed.
But off yonder where it's rocky,
Where you get a better view,
You will find the ranks are thinning
And the travelers are few.
Where the going's smooth and pleasant
You will always find the throng,
For the many, more's the pity,
Seem to like to drift along.
But the steeps that call for courage,
And the task that's hard to do
In the end result in glory
For the never-wavering few.
--Edgar Albert Guest
You have much to be proud of, Tom. This entire community - the AO Army - would not be here if was not for you. You've put quality, service and your customers above everything else, in an industry still trying to find its heart. There has never been a doubt where yours has been and where it will remain for as long as there are memories:

I'll write it on the hearts of men"

- 3,821Much as others have said, I'm not surprised by this. Sad yes, but not surprised. Tom has way too much character and heart to stay in an industry full of corruption and politics.
On a different note, I can see in the near future things going two ways. If we don't stand strong and carry on the tradition that Tom has built here on AO, things are going to continue to get worse around here. If not, AO will become simply another PBN.
I�m so sick of listening to all the complaining about how bad things have become and about how great things where back in AO�s glory days. There is a very strong core group of people that have become practically family. And to us, this is much like a death in the family. So what does a family have to do when there is a death, you pull together and carry on.

- 3,634Well said Rob... couldn't have said it better myself. We as AO'ers need to keep the REAL meaning of AO alive and not let the idea of a internet community STARTED BY TOM become diluted by people who don't understand how things got started and why we are here to begin with.Originally Posted by wyn1370

- 9,169Tom started AO? I thought he purchased it from someone else who started it.Originally Posted by Creative Mayhem
But with that said, I wish Tom all the best and hope he is happy in whatever he does. His leaving was by far not unexpected though. As some have already posted, folks should have seen this coming for a long time. But as is often the case folks see only what they want to see.
Tom is not dead. Tom is simply moving on. Have fun Tom.

Other than that, not much else to say. I'm just sad and I hope that AO only improves and that AGD stays the course."Don't hit at all if you can help it; don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep."

going away party?I'm sure Tom would not want one, but any thoughts to a proper send off by all the loyal AGD customers over the years? A chance to laugh and cry together? Anyone second the idea?

- 91No one should be really surprised with this. After speaking with Tom at D-Day. I felt it was just a matter of time. It is too bad there are so few paintballers that have been around long enough to realize just what Tom has done for this industry. I studied Mechanical Engineering many many years ago and I've always said that the Mag series is the only gun with any sort of solid engineering behind it's design and the reason I still own the first one I bought in the early 90's......
Good luck, Tom...you will be missed. Budd bailing, Glenn retiring, you retiring...the end of an era...now it'll be all about big business and profit margins, more than about the "game".

repostI think it was appropriate to dust off this old rant on the webpage and toss it back up on AO. Cry fest time.
Those Truly Hurt
My heart truly goes out to those that are hurt the most from these obscene lawsuits and legal battles. I'm not talking about the players. I'm not talking about small companies who are drowning in a sea of profit loss and competition. I'm talking about people who truly epitomize paintball. People like Tom Kaye. This man has poured all of his living into the sport he loves. He has been there, innovating and helping people for decades, trying to stay alive in a world of backstabbing competitors. His company has prided itself on helping the customers and treating them like family. This man teaches his own tech classes and can be reached if there is ever a problem. Now, I had the honor of briefly speaking with him at IAO, and the one quote that will stay with me until I die is �I have to watch what I say �now.�� It�s a ****ing tragedy that this kind, helpful man who helped evolve the sport we love is afraid to speak his mind about a game he personally helped nurture. I owned a Mag and didn�t care for it, but you won�t find more loyal customers that Airgun�s patrons. Why? Because Tom is one of the founding fathers of this game, and they are all his children.

Tom might not have been the "founder" of AO, but he developed and grew AO. He was the one that supported and in my mind, made AO what it is today.
And if you say "no, it was the users of AO" I do not agree. AO would not be where it is today if AGD did not buy it and if Tom did not put his time and money into it.

A Brave new world...After taking 24hrs to think about it....
To, me... paintball has just took a turn for the worse. AO and AGD seem to have a dark cloud over them right now... and it is a feeling that I just dont like.
With all of the B.S. and underhanded characters that permiate our sport... I always took great comfort in knowing Tom and AGD where there.
Not only the last of, but the FIRST good guy of paintball. It is not difficult to understand why he is calling it quits.
The paintball market right now is flooded with cheaply made, FAD products. Out of all of the dozens of markers out right now, I can count on one hand the number of them that I would buy or use other than an AGD product. (and still have fingers left over)
It must be tough to have to fight an uphill battle every day against:
-the market
-and Lawyers
A lesser man would have moved on long ago.
I also wanted to let Tom know that my X-mag is the possesion I cherrish the most.
AGD is obviously at a crossroad right now. The only good thing I try to keep in mind is that things might actually get better.
A new direction, new products... a new spark of enthusiasm. (A quality marketing team would help too)
So I am tipping my Yankees hat, and wishing Tom and his family the very best in the new year.
Now I am going to go home, give my X-mag a good cleaning, get some new paint, fresh batteries for my Halo.. and get ready to kick some butt this weekend on the field.

I will however add that I truly agree that Tom had a great roll in forming what AO is today. And I will also point out that while some would consider that a good thing, there are others (and just as many if not more) that would disagree with that. It is a matter of perspective�� but I understand that this is not really a matter suited for open discussion on AO.
Again, I wish Tom all the best. Retiring should be viewed in a positive light, not as if someone has died��. Well, unless you are being escorted by Joe Black.

- 83my take on Tom's legacy and contribution can be easily summed up every single time I go to play with my 68Classic Mag (yes I mean classic as in remote line CO2 and dual expansions) and some young kid will say - "Hey, what kind of gun is that?"
To which I reply, "It's an Automag." Most will then get a real puzzled look on their face when they notice the absence of a motorized anything and a single finger trigger frame...
I can hear their brain saying "How do you play with something like that?"
After a few games of dominating play, sitting around getting a swig of gatorade - these kids, always more than one will ask me "Hey, how much was your gun?"

- 3,124Its been great shooting your markers for the past 9 years. Like others, not so suprised to see this happen... AO did grow nicely after AGD purchased it. I was a member here for a few years prior and the site was dead, but the forum at the time was still strong. AGD made it stronger, no doubt about that.
Just like to say good luck on your future ventures, and I wish nothing but greatness for you in the future. You have brought so much to the sport and its players. Its truly a sad day when someone like this walks away.Taking a long needed leave of the sport to finish school and tour the country

ESPN Preview
Part of a tight race in the AFC North, the Pittsburgh Steelers have had a week off to rest and hope a banged-up Ben Roethlisberger -- among others -- is ready for a crucial stretch run.
The Kansas City Chiefs are going to need an entire offseason to get healthy.
The Steelers don't expect Roethlisberger's broken thumb to hinder him in Sunday night's visit to Arrowhead Stadium, where the bumbling Chiefs hope Tyler Palko's first home start since taking over for the injured Matt Cassel goes much smoother than his road debut.
Pittsburgh (7-3) bounced back from the disappointment of a 23-20 loss to fellow North heavyweight Baltimore on Nov. 6 with a 24-17 win at Cincinnati on Nov. 13, putting a game's distance between itself and the division's third playoff contender.
The news wasn't all good after that victory, as the Steelers learned Roethlisberger suffered a fractured thumb on his throwing hand.
All in all, though, it appears Pittsburgh caught a break. Chicago's Jay Cutler suffered a similar but more serious injury last weekend and could miss the rest of the regular season.
Roethlisberger didn't miss a snap against the Bengals and coach Mike Tomlin expects his franchise signal-caller to be ready to go Sunday night -- even if he has to wear a splint under his glove.
"There's a pain tolerance issue," Tomlin said. "There's a comfortability issue. All of those things will be sorted out throughout the course of the week. To be honest with you, I'm not overly concerned about his ability to be effective in the midst of this."
Roethlisberger has spent much of his time in practice this week working out of shotgun and pistol formations. But he doesn't believe taking direct snaps from center Maurkice Pouncey will be an issue.
"It's definitely different," said Roethlisberger, who's thrown 13 touchdowns passes and four interceptions as Pittsburgh has won five of six. "It hurts, first off, just to grip the ball. It's something you have to get used to."
The Chiefs (4-6), meanwhile, found out after a 17-10 loss to Denver on Nov. 13 that they likely lost Cassel for the season to a significant hand injury, a fear that came to fruition Monday when they placed him on injured reserve.
He's the team's seventh player to hit IR, joining stars Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry and Tony Moeaki.
That left Palko to make his NFL starting debut later that evening in New England, and despite Kansas City carrying a 3-0 lead late into the second quarter, everything fell apart. The Patriots scored 10 points in the final 4:18 of the first half and didn't let up after the intermission en route to a 34-3 win, the Chiefs' third straight loss.
Though Kansas City's defense certainly had its struggles, Palko's three interceptions didn't help.
"This game is hard enough as it is without making mistakes," said Palko, who had thrown only 13 career passes before Monday night. "When you make mistakes it's going to show up, and show up at inopportune times."
Palko is expected to start again even after Kansas City claimed Kyle Orton off waivers Wednesday, and he might not have to worry about turning it over quite as much against the Steelers. Pittsburgh's defense has forced league lows of six total turnovers and four INTs, though two of those came in the fourth quarter at Cincinnati.
The Steelers are still waiting on the return of linebacker LaMarr Woodley, who's missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. Woodley participated in some drills early in the week but it's far from certain he'll return Sunday.
"You look at guys across the league coming back too early sometimes and next thing you know they're out 2/3 more weeks," said Woodley, who had 7 1/2 of his nine sacks in his previous four games. "I'm just trying to be smart about it."
Safety Troy Polamalu, slowed during the bye week with rib discomfort, is expected to play.
While Pittsburgh has had trouble creating turnovers, Kansas City's had issues getting to the quarterback despite the presence of Tamba Hali. The Chiefs have a league-low 12 sacks, even with three of Tom Brady on Monday night.
To have a chance at knocking off the Steelers, they'll likely need to pressure Roethlisberger. Pittsburgh is 12-8 since 2008 when it allows four sacks or more but 28-10 when it surrenders three or fewer.
With Roethlisberger hurting, the Steelers may prefer to make Rashard Mendenhall the focus of the offense. The Chiefs have allowed an average of 153.0 yards rushing in their past five games, fourth-worst in the NFL.
Pittsburgh has won its last three games coming out of a bye by an average of 21.3 points.
Eight of the last nine regular-season meetings in this series have taken place at Arrowhead. Each team has won four of those, with the Steelers outscoring Kansas City 157-156.

GLEN ROSE, Texas - A 25-year-old man was charged with murder in connection with a shooting at a central Texas gun range that killed former Navy SEAL and "American Sniper" author Chris Kyle and his friend, the Texas Department of Public Safety said Sunday.
Sgt. Lonny Haschel said in a news release that 25-year-old Eddie Ray Routh of Lancaster was arraigned Saturday evening on two counts of capital murder.
Haschel said Erath County Sheriff's deputies responded to a call about a shooting at the Rough Creek Lodge, west of Glen Rose, at about 5:30 p.m. Saturday. Police found the bodies of Kyle, 38, and Chad Littlefield, 35, at the shooting range. Glen Rose is about 50 miles (80 kilometres) southwest of Fort Worth.
Police said Routh opened fire on Kyle and Littlefield around 3:30 p.m. Saturday, then fled in a Ford pickup truck. At about 8 p.m., Routh arrived at his home in Lancaster, about 17 miles (27 kilometres) southeast of Dallas. Police arrested him after a brief pursuit and took him to the Lancaster Police Department.
Officer Kyle Roberts at the Erath County Jail said Routh arrived there Sunday morning and is being held on a combined $3 million bond — bond for one charge of capital murder was set at $1 million and bond for two charges of murder was $1 million each. Roberts did not have information on whether Routh had a lawyer.
The motive for the shooting was unclear.
Kyle, a decorated soldier, wrote the bestselling book, "American Sniper: The Autobiography of the Most Lethal Sniper in U.S. Military History," detailing his 150-plus kills of insurgents from 1999 to 2009. According to promotional information from book publisher William Morrow, Kyle was deployed to Iraq four times.
Kyle helped start the non-profit FITCO Cares, which provides at-home fitness equipment for emotionally and physically wounded veterans. Travis Cox, the organization's director and a friend of Kyle's, spoke with the AP on Sunday morning.
"What I know is Chris and a gentleman — great guy, I knew him well, Chad Littlefield — took a veteran out shooting who was struggling with PTSD to try to assist him, try to help him, try to, you know, give him a helping hand and he turned the gun on both of them, killing them," Cox said. Routh then took Kyle's truck and fled, he said.
Littlefield was Kyle's neighbour and "workout buddy," Cox said. He was a gentle, kind-hearted man who often called or emailed Cox with ideas for events or fundraisers to help veterans.
"Chris was literally the type of guy if you were a veteran and needed help he'd help you," Cox said. "And from my understanding that's what happened here. I don't know how he came in contact with this gentleman, but I do know that it was not through the foundation.
"It was just two great guys with Chad and Chris trying to help out a veteran in need and making time out of their day to help him. And to give him a hand. And unfortunately this thing happened."
Kyle is survived by his wife, Taya, and their children, the non-profit's release said.
Kyle was sued by former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura, a former professional wrestler and Navy SEAL, over a portion of the book that claims Kyle punched Ventura in a 2006 bar fight over unpatriotic remarks. Ventura says the punch never happened and that the claim by Kyle defamed him.
Kyle had asked that Ventura's claims of invasion of privacy and "unjust enrichment" be dismissed, saying there was no legal basis for them. But a federal judge said the lawsuit should proceed. Both sides were told to be ready for trial by Aug. 1.
Associated Press Writers Christopher Sherman in McAllen, Texas, and Andale Gross and Erica Hunzinger in Chicago contributed to this report.

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said he would consider making changes in personnel, both players and coaches, after his defense has allowed more than 1,000 yards in the air in the last three games. The fact that Clemson QB Tajh Boyd is up next has Meyer concerned and looking for an answer.
For more than 10 minutes C.J. Barnett probably felt like he was in front of a firing squad this week.
He was the only defensive back on a defense that allowed 1,075 yards passing in its last three games to speak to the media.
Barnett finally looked over the crowd of reporters around him and made eye contact with an Ohio State media relations representative. He gave him the sign that he was finished.
Barnett was polite, but seemed to grow tired of the questions about the pass defense.
"Giving up the yards we've been giving up is not the goal," Barnett said in a nod to the obvious.
Even head coach Urban Meyer has sort of taken off his kid gloves when analyzing his defense. Opposing offenses have thrown the ball well against Ohio State all season. A half-dozen quarterbacks have had career days against this defense.
Imagine what Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd can do. Boyd is leading an offense that averages 329 yards in the air and 40.2 points a game. Wide receiver Sammy Watkins has 85 receptions for 1,237 yards and 10 touchdowns. Watkins' numbers are slightly lower than OSU wide receivers Devin Smith and Corey Brown — combined.
So is Meyer concerned about Clemson's passing game against his, ahem, pass defense?
"You think?" Meyer said.
The pass defense has reared its head all season.
After 13 games, one might think co-defensive coordinators Luke Fickell and Everett Withers, along with cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs, would have figured it out.
It isn't that easy.
"It's too many things; not just one," Meyer said. "It's not the man coverage. It's not the zone coverage. It's all of the above. Then, it's the pass rush, the timing to call the blitzes and making sure the blitzes match the coverage."
Meyer did not rule out scheme changes, personnel changes or coaching changes.
"All of the above," he said. "We hit the road recruiting for a week because we were a week behind. ... What we're doing right now is going through (pass defense)."
Fickell is responsible for calling blitz packages. Coombs and Withers work together on coverage. Looking at the Michigan State game, it wasn't just the passes that OSU allowed on the back end of the defense; it was penalties, too.
Michigan State faced two third-down plays on the opening drive. On both pass plays, the ball wasn't close to being complete, but Buckeye defenders made contact with receivers by not turning their heads and looking for the ball.
"Guys have to cover on the back end," defensive tackle Michael Bennett said. "We can't let the quarterback sit back in the pocket for five or six seconds because someone's going to get open. When stuff like that falls apart, it's the whole defense. It's not just the back end. The front guys have to do more, and the back guys have to do more. It's not just a scheme issue. Guys need to do their jobs better."
Some may be losing playing time because of it.
True freshmen Vonn Bell and Tyvis Powell are getting more looks in practice. Meyer said Bell would play more against Clemson in the Jan. 3 Orange Bowl because "he's earned it," and because of a lack of performance by veteran players.
"Obviously we didn't play well the last two games," Meyer said. "The one (Clemson) we're playing is real. I mean like really real. Tweaks might be an appropriate word. We're working through that and looking at changes."

Spring migration appears to be underway as the Sunday sunrise was filled with a symphony of birdsong.
This Sunday morning dawned cloudy and cold. Despite the gray above, a plethora of birds filled the skies and trees above town. Cheerfully welcoming the sunrise, at least a dozen different birdsongs greeted my dog and I on our early morning walk.
It's the clearest indication yet that spring has arrived, despite officially being three days away.
The early morning, almost windless walk proved to be a feast for the ears. While easily identifying the songs of mourning doves, a cardinal, several robins, and the tapping of a couple of woodpeckers, I realized that my audio identification skills are severely lacking. I made a mental note to talk to Chris Schrack at the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks about borrowing some CDs to help with this.
In the midst of whatever challenges we may be facing, a little time spent outdoors provide a great uplift—whether it's walking across town, on the Natural Trails at Lemon Park or Green Recreation Trail, or whatever is your chosen way to interact with nature.
As I listened to and watched the birds going about their morning business—one chased another incessantly and almost flew straight into me as I walked (mating season, I resolved)—I thought of lyrics to a John Denver song: "Sweet, sweet surrender / Live, live without care / Like a fish in the water / Like a bird in the air." Of course, birds do have a few cares, like the daily struggle to survive and provide for their young.
In any case, the unorchestrated symphony performed by our Avian friends this Sunday morning was a banquet of sound. Like the preacher, who spoke at my great uncle John Myers' funeral in Hardtner this past Thursday, said, "It's a beautiful day today. If you can't enjoy this day, then you're probably hard to please." I'm thankful to have synchronized my walk with the sun's rising.

This is the first of two columns on the 16th Congressional District race in the Republican primary. On Sunday, I'll talk with U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon. Today I talk with challenger David Hale.
The Rockford Tea Party leader knows he has an uphill fight against Kinzinger, who is well-financed, has commercials on TV constantly and appears frequently on network TV news shows. Hale must make do largely with social media like Facebook.
Hale, a nurse and Army veteran, says he's running because he wants voters to have a choice on March 18.
"For five years we as the tea party and I as a leader have been highly critical of decisions our leaders make, and often critical of our fellow Republicans," the Rockfordian said.
"Essentially there's been no movement on the part of the Republicans. They added probably $4 trillion to the debt."
But Hale realized that just criticizing incumbents wouldn't change anything, "so it's time to step up and be the person making decisions, at least try to get in there and give people an option as opposed to being a critic."
Kinzinger "is not reflecting our values. His penchant is to want to go out and bomb everybody when there's the first sign of trouble in the world. That is not a reflection of the majority of Americans or the people in this district. I agreed initially with war in Iraq because of weapons of mass destruction, but I didn't think we should go in for nation-building."
Hale is critical of the president, "who said he wouldn't add a single penny to the national debt. And he said it's unpatriotic to do that. I agreed. The debt was $10.5 trillion when he came to office. Now it's over $17 trillion, and $4 trillion of that was due to the actions of congressional Republicans."
Hale criticized Kinzinger for "signing on to pass a $3.8 trillion budget when we're taking in $2.8 trillion in taxes. Kinzinger also voted to decrease military retirees' pensions and (help for) disabled vets, specifically, and that has not been reversed. He tries to say it's reversed but it hasn't been."
Hale believes the military budget can easily be trimmed without damaging national defense.
"We spend $660 billion on the military every year. That's an unimaginable amount of money for the military industrial complex. If we went through that budget, we could find waste, fraud abuse, programs that may not be useful to the defense of the nation. Let's find $100 billion in cuts without cutting military benefits or pay."
On abortion, "I don't think Roe v. Wade should stand. I'll sign on to the Life Begins at Conception Act."
I asked Hale about the key issue in a district with high unemployment: job creation. What's the best way to create jobs?
"Regulations are killing companies. We need to sunset regulations that don't prove to be of any value," he said.
"Corporate taxes in Illinois, combined with the high U.S. rate, are the highest in the world. We must reduce our tax rates. We take in $350 billion in corporate taxes compared with the $2.8 trillion in taxes we take in. That corporate tax income is low because of loopholes."
If we lowered taxes and reduced regulations, income to the treasury would go up, the deficit and debt would go down, "and we could look at some real tax cuts, giving people more to spend and creating more jobs."
"With more tax dollars staying here instead of going to Washington, we can better deal with our local issues," such as streets, sewers, and police and fire protection.

Sasquatch 2016 Rumors:
Monday, February 27, 2012
Sasquatch 2012, Still Not Sold Out
I've been waiting to post the Quadros series assuming the next newsworthy event would be Sasquatch selling out, but inexplicably it hasn't? How can Coachella sell out 130,000 weekend passes in two hours, yet Sasquatch can't sell 25,000 weekend passes in two weeks? Granted Coachella is a much bigger destination, and the second largest U.S. metro is 130 miles away, and it appeals more to the beautiful people who only care about seeing the headliners, a handful of buzz bands, and dancing to the same beat by the hottest knob twisters while ingesting popular science experiments, but aside from that, the Coachella lineup isn't THAT much better? The headliners and rarities at Coachella are a big deal, but Sasquatch has done well for itself this year comparatively speaking. So why isn't Sasquatch sold out?
I'm pretty good at predicting what makes sense for Sasquatch (business wise), which is why I get paid the big bucks here. Blogging is very lucrative you know, the reason I write two of them. However, I was incorrect when I guessed the festival would sell out the first day general passes went on sale. I need to regain my credibility, which is why I'll share with you the most logical reason the festival has yet to sell out. [drum roll] The festival capacity has been increased this year.
How would Sasquatch increase the capacity of a venue with strict land constraints? A popular suggestion over the last couple years has been to put a stage in the campground. If they kicked out the hundreds of campground attendees who don't have a festival pass, and replaced their wasted space with an official stage, what paying customer would be against the idea? With re-entry in the cards this year, it would allow the festival attendees to freely move between the main stages and the campground stage. Plus, there is already a confirmed fifth stage, the NW Hip-hop showcase otherwise known as the "Maine Stage." The Maine problems with this theory:
1. Why would a Fire Marshall increase the capacity of the main festival grounds because of a tiny stage in the campground no one will attend during the evening hours?
2. Having wristband holders freely wander between the campground and the main grounds will required increased security checkpoints, or increased campground security protecting the borders (and a big fence).
3. Who wants to walk 30+ minutes between stages?
As previously mentioned, land is at a premium, so it's difficult to convince the Fire Marshall to expand the capacity without expanding the area of the festival grounds, so let's explore the largest piece of land in the vacinity. The parking lot of course. That place is gigantic, and it's a short walk from the Wookie stage. They are practically giving away this large area to those who want to park (I've heard non-VIP parking is free). Who parks instead of camping at Sasquatch anyway? It shouldn't be allowed!
I like dreaming big, so I think a gigantic dance tent in the parking lot near the security entrance of yesteryear could increase the capacity of the grounds by 6,000 or more. Then they could move the Yeti stage to where the dance tent has been, throw the Maine stage in the food court where the Yeti was, and all would flow perfectly. They could still use the remaining area of the parking lot for VIPs, and sponsor shuttles to the nearest towns for those who used to park for free. Even if purchasing property for expansion in the immediate area isn't an option, there must be property in the surrounding areas available to divert excess campers and parked cars? After all, light sleepers, people in their forties, and pregnant women freely shuttle to the festival from the Wildhorse campground.
Eliminating the parking lot all together would free up enough land for two additional stages, and increase the festival capacity to nearly 45,000, which would give the festival more money to land the really big headliners and continue to sell out. Sasquatch could then compete with the giant festivals of the world, and make it the U.S. festival destination of choice.
I'm done dreaming big for now. Nothing this large can be in the works yet, but I refuse to believe there aren't at least a couple thousand extra passes available this year. They found a way to expand the capacity, even if the parking lot theory isn't the solution. They can easily make the dance tent much bigger, and squeeze the Maine Stage in unused space to increase the number of weekend passes without increasing the acres of land use. Maybe the solution is sending the Fire Marshall and guests on a month long all expenses paid vacation in exchange for a favorable number (wink wink)? Maybe I think this is a good idea because I know the Fire Marshall, and maybe I want a free vacation, but I'm not admitting to the former.
In other news, the Quadros series will begin shortly. For those new to this blog, I listen to a lot of music and go to a lot of live shows, so I have a lot to say about each of the bands on the lineup. Hopefully I be able to knock out ten or more Quadros before the festival starts, so stick around. Until then, if you have questions, comments, or other crazy theories, post them below.

Excited for Quadros. Can't wait!

NW rap stage is a waste. If you took that stage out, you could have probably exchanged it for better artists.
- February 28, 2012 at 5:39 PM
Why is it so much more expensive than most of the other comparable festivals? The lineup is great, but not better than a lot of other festivals. We keep coming thisclose to buying our Sasquatch tickets and then we hesitate because they are so much more expensive than other festivals. We really want to come... convince me it's worth it! :-)
- February 29, 2012 at 5:54 AM
Releasing single day tickets will give the festival a far greater chance of selling out. Count me in!
- February 29, 2012 at 7:55 AM
Its more expensive I think for 3 reasons, 1) it includes camping, other fests such as coachella dont 2) the lineups still great but without the hastle of pushing your way through 80,000-90,000 people, instead ur dealing with 25,000-30,000 at Sasquatch! Its easier to get around IMO and its MUCH easier to get closer to the stage 3) this probably isnt why the fest is more expensive BUT staring at the beauty of the gorge in usually perfect weather OR dieing in 100+ degree heat (coachella) OR swallowing gobs of dust (Bonnaroo). Ive been to all 3 fests and while all were amazing, I have a special place in my heart for Sasquatch, its something everyone needs to experience atleast once!
- February 29, 2012 at 10:29 AM
Not to mention Sasquatch is 4 days and most other fests are 3. Less than $80 per day including camping isn't a bad deal.
OK so here's a crazy theory:
The dance tent stays where it is, maybe make it bigger. The Yeti stage becomes the dumb little hip hop stage, the Bigfoot becomes the Yeti, and they make an even bigger stage in the new area to be the new Bigfoot stage.
- February 29, 2012 at 12:59 PM
I have attended the 2006 and 2009 Sasquatch Festivals and I was planning on going this year, but unfortunately they will not release single tickets and I cant afford 4, four day passes this year. It costs money also to travel to this event and since it is in the middle of nowhere I like to take my family and friends so I'm not traveling alone. To do this costs a lot. I can swing 4 single tickets and a hotel room in Moses lake.
- March 5, 2012 at 11:33 AM
Eagerly awaiting Quadros!
- March 5, 2012 at 2:49 PM
Honestly, I think that the die-hard Sasquatch attendees value experience over headliners. The Gorge becomes such a magical place where chill people and good music mix. That combination makes for a great Memorial weekend :)

In reply to the user comment wondering what the f#uck the comment above theirs was, it was just spam. People create a link to their product site, then go post in the comments section of popular blogs hoping to get people to click on it. They usually hide them in the commments section of older posts so they aren't easy to find. If I had a dime for every spam post I've deleted, I could make some serious money writing this blog. That's right, I referred to this blog as "popular."
Thanks Someguy and anon249. I'm glad to hear there are a couple fans of the Quadros. Soon...
- March 6, 2012 at 5:47 PM
Does anyone know whether a camelbak can be brought into the venue? Do I just have to show that its empty?
- March 7, 2012 at 4:11 PM
- know ID yuh said...
Yes, an empty camelbak has always been allowed in.
- March 7, 2012 at 5:58 PM
So, who's this noteworthy EDM act that's getting added for the "late night set?"
- March 7, 2012 at 7:01 PM
- know ID yuh said...
Is Skrillex noteworthy?
- March 7, 2012 at 7:49 PM
Unfortunately, yes. Barf.
I remember when we had Boys Noize and Booka Shade.

@ anonymous comment about noteworthy EDM addition: is this a real rumor? From where? Someone help! I'm an addict for this stuff....
- March 8, 2012 at 9:37 AM
the rumor has been that feed me will be a late night addition but who knows
- March 8, 2012 at 2:06 PM
i think the dance will just be bigger, and that will allow for larger capacity..
sasquatches recent dance tents have been tiny compared to other major festivals tents, and last year was overcrowded to the max..
feed me would be a descent add, if skrillex is there that would be cool to......not
- March 8, 2012 at 2:17 PM
you best be joking bout skrillex

I can't believe anyone would be hating on the local hip hop. Go check out Grynch V-O-L-V-O, my Volvo, some Fresh Espresso, Don't Talk to the Cops! NW hip hop is a treasure to be valued. Go check it out. You might be surprised.
- March 8, 2012 at 6:24 PM
Our family of four has gone the last 5 years but don't see the quality of acts this time. WTH ...there's not even full lineup or schedule yet...and unclear who the 4th headliner is. We're. going to Bend, Oregon to see Beck and a show with Shins at Les Schwab Amphitheatre...Sasquatch getting a little full itself...doubt it will even sell out in the end.
- March 9, 2012 at 7:54 AM
- Unknown said...
Why do people come on here an talk about what they wont do? Are there not people, like myself, who are excited to see Mogwai, Feist, Pretty Lights, Beck, Shins, The MF Roots....come on. You're not going, good for you. Why are you talking about it in a blog? I cannot stop thinking about going. I think its going to rock. And there are some great bands, even if you haven't heard of them, there are quality acts.
- March 9, 2012 at 10:24 AM
Last year's line-up fucking blows compared to 2012.
- March 10, 2012 at 4:04 PM
"Sasquatch getting full of itself" is the dumbest thing I've heard in a while.
- March 10, 2012 at 4:12 PM
- Produktive said...
actually what they literally typed was "full itself"...but I am sure it was a typo ;)
I love Sasquatch. All the bickering, criticism, etc will never stop me from going.
Personally...I remember going in 2010, and I had four tickets to the last day (don't ask me how) and I had to GIVE them away, I couldn't sell them for anything. I don't know what this says about the sales this year, but it was odd.
Either way, another EDM artist? Sorry guys, but please GOD let Skrillex be there. I loved him last year and I think he is doing something great for Electronic music. If not, I wouldn't mind Feed Me. If not, WHO EFFING CARES, its Sasquatch. Its gonna be great no matter what in my opinion.
God bless the Northwest.
Love you all.
- March 10, 2012 at 5:01 PM
Skrillex is the justin Bieber of dubstep. Random sound effects and a bass line. OMG COOL!
Years from now you guys will be embarrassed to tell people you used to listen to that garbage.
- March 11, 2012 at 1:25 PM
Why did they make the dance tent smaller in 2011? Pretty stupid. I guess they didn't learn anything from previous years.
- March 11, 2012 at 2:57 PM
I think folks are stating reasons they are not going, because the blog questions asks...why isn't it sold out? Sasquatch should want to know, especially if people have gone for multiple times in the past, why they aren't going now. Change in the format does not always make the festival better. And I agree...with just a couple months to go now, there should be a schedule and full line-up.
- March 12, 2012 at 2:40 PM
Coachella lineup isn't THAT much better? One band makes the difference for me: Radiohead (also Pulp, I'm really hoping all the emo and EDM teenagers have no idea who they are). I went to Sasquatch 4 years running and opted out last year as it was the first year I was disappointed in the lineup. Then Coachella lands Radiohead and it was a no brainer for me this year. I wanted to see them in Seattle but of course couldn't score tickets in the onsale and now GA floor seats are $200+ if you can even find them. Radiohead brought me to Bonnaroo for one of the most amazing concert experiences I've ever had and I will be front row if Sasquatch ever lands them. Getting the chills just thinking about it.
- March 12, 2012 at 3:47 PM
too fucking expensive that's why!
- March 14, 2012 at 12:13 PM
@Anon 1:25 - you are forgetting that Skrillex has two Grammy awards and Justin Bieber has Proactiv bottles - sounds like someone is mad they couldn't afford a ticket
- March 15, 2012 at 7:24 AM
^ Awesome logic. I state the obvious in that Skrillex is an embarrassment and you conclude that I can't get a ticket to a festival that isn't sold out? You're a smart one.
You're also retarded if you think a Grammy somehow makes you a good artist. Mili Vanilli has a Grammy for fuck's sake.
- March 16, 2012 at 9:10 PM
Apparently it's set to sell out within a couple days...
- March 17, 2012 at 9:50 AM
Mr. know ID yuh, I think we have different understandings of what you meant when you said that Quadros would be coming "soon."
- March 18, 2012 at 8:46 PM
Agreed. Morons who don't know these bands just complain instead of listening to them and realizing how good they are! Great attitude eh!
- March 19, 2012 at 11:03 AM
Some people already well-versed in this year's lineup just really enjoy know ID yuh's commentary.

@unknown 3/19, you have probably figured this out by now, but entereing "Sasquatch" on the live nation site will allow you the option to buy a camping upgrade without buying a four day pass.
@anon 3/22, yes, VIP single day passes have existed in past years, so I wouldn't be worried about purchasing them (especially since I believe you are protected from buying bunk tickets on stubhub). However, I would never recommend paying for more than they are worth, so have the seller email you proof they own those tickets, and proof of how much they cost.
@anon 3/19, thanks for the compliment. I planned on having a couple Quadros written by now, but a combination of my music device dying, my computer dying, and lack of free time has kept me from writing. I have a new computer on the way, so I promise I will post a Quadros when it arrives, and I still plan on writing a handful of them.

First of all to add to the Skrillex debate, I think he sucks and should definitely NOT be there this year, he would actually be a reason NOT to go. As for the lineup? People really need to look into the bands they havent heard of or listened to yet, to discover some awesome new music before bashing the lineup. The bands playing this year are awesome, and honestly I dont see many better bands at Coachella (with the exception of Radiohead of course, and maybe Dre and Snoop) So im more exited for Sasquatch this year than i would be for Coachella. If youre looking for dope new music, try listening to; Dont talk to the cops!, Nobody Beats The Drum, Tycho, Araabmuzik, Star Slinger, Starfucker, Santigold, Apparat, Wolfgang gartner, Beats Antique, Purity Ring, Com Truise. theres a fucking ton of awesome acts i hadnt heard of before the lineup release, and now im friggin stoked. Most noteable shows to me will be; Pretty Lights, Feed Me (With TEETH), and Girl Talk (Those are my guesses for the late night shows) and of course Jack White, Tenacious D, Metric, and fucking SBTRKT. In my opinion, this lineup is better than a few other festivals considering the large amount of great lesser known acts.
And fuck single day tickets, we dont need a bunch of douchebags coming for one day to go crazy and ruin it for the full weekend passholders, ive seen it before.
And one last thing, if you are thinking about coming up with some friends to just camp and not attend the show? Then kindly go fuck yourself. Buy a ticket for the festival, or go fucking camping somewhere else!! You dont need to come take up space that festival goers could be using, you dicks.
Cheers from BC, Canada

i really hate apples, but oranges are dope. anyone in here talking about how they cant wait to eat an apple, they are fucking obviously fucking stupid fucking
fuck. everyone is an idiot if you dont agree.

whoa... feed me is a whole lot more talented than skrillex.. if u have an ear for actual musical talent when listining to electro then u would know that.
if u come to sasquatch just for edm tho, save ur money.. go to identity or other festivals that have way better set ups and sound built for edm

This is the sixth year in a row I'm going to Sasquatch, and I always buy a pass before I even know who is going to be in the lineup... I agree with those who say it's about the experience as much as anything. Nothing like it, with the gorge behind the main stage at dusk and all kinds of new music to discover and favorites to savor. I just wish they could get their goddamned daily schedule together! I know, it will probably not happen for another month... but I have some friends who want to come for a day, and they want to know who is playing on what day. I tell them they'll probably have a great time regardless of what day they come, but they want to know. That is really about the only complaint I have, is that by the time they tell us who is playing when on what day, the tickets are all gone. 8-)

Has coachella even released their set times, yet? I know they are famously late at doing so. I know we would all like an earlier schedule, but Sasquatch is still better than some other festivals at doing it.

I have been reading around the net for a few years now and thought I'd start enjoying some of the good Chiefs message boards out here in cyberspace. I have been posting on a few of the other boards for close to a year and having fun doing it.
Hope everyone is keeping the faith. I have always liked KC but I got into them heavy back in 93 when Montana graced us with his presence. We can only look at this one way which is optimistically. We'll be building through the draft again next year.
It might look like gloom and doom now but before you know it we'll have a contender in KC. Good to be here

The question was raised: Can the Seahawks be a top-10 defensive unit again? They finished ranked No. 9 overall, and hovered around the top half most of the season, providing a show of consistency. I think more impressive was their rating in "scoring defense" – No. 7 at 19.7 points per game.
From that starting unit, they lost only middle linebacker David Hawthorne, a crucial cog, of course. But Hawthorne was slowed by injuries much of the season.
I think the raw stats from the whole season, then, are misleading, and projections for this season are more valid when we look at the second half – even though they faced only two playoff-bound teams (Baltimore and San Francisco). Over the second half of the season, their points-against average dropped to 16.25 a game.
Four key players were in their first season as starters: Kam Chancellor, Brandon Browner, K.J. Wright and Richard Sherman. And Allan Branch was in his first season with the team. All those players are returning with a full off-season to further settle into their roles. Browner, particularly, struggled to find a balance between coverage that was physical and coverage that drew flags. We may assume that will be less a problem.
A few question marks exist. How to replace Hawthorne? The Hawks drafted Utah State's Bobby Wagner and signed free agent Barrett Ruud. Wagner showed a smooth athleticism in off-season workouts, and must be a quick-learner, too. It was initially suggested that Wright would be relied upon to call the defensive signals, but Wagner soon took over that role. The return of Leroy Hill (in fit condition) and Wright could help stabilize Wagner in the middle. Korey Toomer, a rookie from Idaho, also showed flashes in OTAs. The added effect of the speed and athleticism of these young linebackers will be felt on every special-teams unit, as well.
The other prime question is the status of Chris Clemons, who has been a no-show as he lobbies for a contract upgrade. He has 22 sacks the past two seasons, but he'll also turn 31 during the season. I don't think the drafting of Bruce Irvin in the first round makes Clemons expendable. Irvin would make Clemons more valuable, and vice versa. They added Jason Jones (15 sacks in four seasons with the Titans) to add interior pass pressure. Jones is long-armed guy with a quick get-off who would be even more threatening with Clemons on one end and Irvin on the other.
So … top 10 in the fall? Sure. Maybe better.

|Assistant Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Graduating Year:
|2 Years
As of March 2013
Former Dartmouth women's basketball standout Erin Rewalt '99, Tu '04 completed her third year on the Big Green sidelines in 2012-13. She joined the program in July 2010.
Under Rewalt's tutelage in 2012-13 the nation's second youngest team opened the competitive Ivy League slate with a 4-1 record behind the strength of four consecutive wins. Additionally, Rewalt coached Abbey Schmitt and Lakin Roland to a combined five Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors while Nicola Zimmer earned All-Ivy League honorable mention accolades.
In 2012-13, the Big Green faced a tough non-conference slate and picked up wins over Bryant and UMass before defeating Harvard, Yale, Brown and Columbia in league action.
Rewalt has been crucial in the development of the Big Green players. Under her tutelage freshmen Milica Toskovic and Tia Dawson each earned Rookie of the Week honors during the 2011-12 season. She also had a hand in helping Faziah Steen earn All-Ivy second team honors.
In her second season back at her alma mater, Rewalt and the Big Green picked up non-conference wins over Vermont and Colgate while sweeping Columbia and adding wins over Brown and Cornell in Ivy League action.
In her first season, Dartmouth struggled with injuries to key players, but enjoyed non-conference wins over Northeastern and Vermont, which had previously advanced to the second round of the 2010 NCAA Tournament.
Rewalt came to Hanover after serving as an assistant coach at William & Mary in 2009-10, helping develop five All-CAA players for the Tribe. She assisted in all areas of the program including player development, scouting, recruiting and marketing.
A standout player in her own right, Rewalt was named All-Ivy in each of her four seasons in Hanover, including second team honors as both a junior and senior. As a senior captain, Rewalt led Dartmouth to the 1998-99 Ivy Championship and an NCAA Tournament bid. She led the Big Green in rebounding in her last three seasons and ranks eighth all-time in career rebounds with 708 and 21st in scoring with 897 points.
Prior to her return to college basketball in 2009, Rewalt had a successful business career, working for General Electric in both its corporate and real estate divisions from 2004-09.
Rewalt graduated from Dartmouth with a degree in government in 1999 and earned her master's of business administration from the Tuck School in 2004.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Junior Marianne Jodoin extended her singles record as a Blue Devil to a perfect 10-0 to lead Duke women's tennis team past No. 18 Notre Dame, 5-2, Sunday at the Eck Tennis Center in South Bend, Ind. The Blue Devils won their ninth doubles point of the season after the 27th-ranked duo of Ester Goldfeld and Hanna Mar sealed their match, 8-5, to extend Duke's record to 9-2 on the season, including a 5-2 tally against teams ranked in the top-25 of the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings.
The doubles point has been crucial for Duke this season, as the Blue Devils have tallied an undefeated record in matches in which they earn the point. In the third position, the duo of Jodoin and Monica Turewicz quickly dispatched of Quinn Gleason and Katherine White, 8-4, while senior Mary Clayton and sophomore Annie Mulholland had trouble with No. 38 Julie Sabacinski and Britney Sanders on court two, dropping the match, 8-5, to send all attention to court one, where Goldfeld and Mar traded games early with Notre Dame's Jennifer Kellner and Chrissie McGaffigan to give Duke a 6-5 lead. After breaking serve, the Blue Devils were able to take a 7-5 edge, and held serve to clinch the match and the doubles point for Duke.
In singles play, 13th-ranked Mar broke serve late in the first set to lead her to a 6-4 win over Kellner on court two, and carried that momentum to sweep the second set, 6-0, to give Duke a 2-0 edge in the match.
On court one, No. 38 Goldfeld dropped the first set, 6-4, to 42nd-ranked Sanders but responded to win the second set, 6-3, to push the match into a third and decisive set for her second consecutive match. On Friday against No. 13 Michigan, Goldfeld fell behind early in the third set and despite a great comeback, could not overcome 33rd-ranked Ronit Yurovsky, sealing the match for the Wolverines. Against Notre Dame Sunday, Goldfeld learned from her mistake as she overwhelmed Sanders in the third set, 6-0 to give Duke a 3-0 lead.
Jodoin, a native of Varennes, Quebec, claimed her 10th singles win of the dual season after dispatching of Katherine White, 4-6, 7-5, 6-2. Jodoin has yet to lose a singles match in her Blue Devil dual match career, after transferring from Fresno State when she garnered Western Athletic Conference (WAC) Player of the Year twice, as well as WAC Freshman of the Year honors.
Clayton, ranked No. 62 in the latest ITA poll, responded to
her loss in doubles by claiming the first set 6-0 over Gleason on court three
but was unable to maintain her momentum, eventually falling, 6-0, 6-7, 6-7. In the fifth position, Mulholland fell behind
2-1 early in the opening set against Molly O'Koniewski, but reeled off four
consecutive games to take a 5-2 lead. Mulholland closed out the first set, 6-3,
dropping the second set, 7-6. In a third-set tiebreaker, Mulholland topped O'Koniewski, 10-3 to seal the match.
In the fourth position, Turewicz took the first and second set to a tiebreaker against McGaffigan, dropping the first set, 7-6, before winning the second, 7-6, to extend the match to a third set tiebreaker, where Turewicz retired due to injury.
Duke will next take to the courts as it travels to Las Vegas, Nev., to face Indiana, Friday, March. 15 at 11 a.m.

LONGMONT -- A Longmont teenager and his family on Wednesday afternoon located a missing, stolen shotgun inside their home, where the boy suspected of stealing the gun had stayed the night, and turned it over to police.
Police spent much of the morning looking for 16-year-old Bailey Pena, who was reportedly in Loomiller Park on Wednesday morning carrying a shotgun that was stolen, along with ammunition, from his parents' home. His parents reported to police that they believed their son was planning to sell the gun and ammo for cash, perhaps to run away. The shotgun was in a locked cabinet when it was stolen, police reported, and the boy's parents are not facing any charges.Police also sought Pena's friend, Phil Corte, who officers briefly suspected had the gun. Longmont police searched Corte's home on the 1400 block of Stuart Street with the family's permission on Wednesday, Longmont Police Cmdr. Jeff Satur said, but did not locate the shotgun. Satur said the family then decided to search the home again more thoroughly and located the shotgun themselves, called police and turned over the gun.
Pena was located at his parents' home Wednesday afternoon on the 2100 block of Kay Street and was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor theft, third-degree burglary, and possession of burglary tools. He was taken to the Boulder County Juvenile Detention Center. There was never any evidence that Pena made any threats regarding the gun, Satur said.
The St. Vrain Valley School District briefly placed Longmont High School, Longs Peak Middle School and Mountain View Elementary School on lockout while police looked for the shotgun. During a lockout, the school's exterior doors are locked and staff are on alert.
Satur said the police are grateful for the Corte family's cooperation.

"Grandpa, I've got a fish," said five-year-old Blake Chimmy, his voice high with excitement. He grinned from ear to ear and cranked the reel handle as fast as he could. "Already – you just put your hook in the water," said Grandpa Joe Spizzirri.
When Grandpa Joe removed the bluegill and added a little fresh worm to the hook, the bobber went under again within seconds. This process went on for almost two hours, with Blake counting each fish. "That makes two," or "That makes three," he would announce loudly and proudly.
Grandpa Joe was so busy he had no time to fish but it was apparent to the most casual observer that he was also having a good time. It was Father's Day weekend and a perfect way to spend time with a youngster. The afternoon catch was especially gratifying since the bluegill had lockjaw two days previously.
Youngsters like excitement and action, and for some catching bluegill can top the list.
Here are some tips from the folks at www.takemefishing.org, a part of the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation (RBFF), which should help introduce a youngster to fishing.
Even a five-year-old wants to be included in the whole process of fishing, and that creates an opportunity to instill some responsibility in your children. Depending on their age, give them small responsibilities, such as ensuring the covers for bait containers are in place, nightcrawlers are covered and cool, or the minnow bucket aerators are running.
Use the time to create lifelong family memories by recording each event with a still or movie camera but keep the outings short and end the activity at the first sign of boredom. Sometimes it helps to let youngsters invite a friend or favorite relative along to share in the fun.
They should 'see' their surroundings also, like the birds, animals, trees and fauna but teach them in small doses, young minds have short attention spans for anything that interferes with hungry fish.
Keep their tackle simple, a small spin casting rod and reel combo is usually easier for kids to master. Zebco's SpongeBob Squarepants Rod and Reel Combo for Kids, available at www.basspro.com or other local retailers, sells for under $15 and is an excellent choice.
For bluegill, small long-shanked hooks, size 10 or 12, are easiest to remove from a bluegill's tiny mouth. Sometimes, because of the bluegill's small mouth, a hook remover like forceps or Rapala's 6 Inch Hook Remover is necessary to keep from injuring the fish too badly.
Small diameter slip float bobbers and stoppers reduce the amount of line needed at the end of the rod and are easier to cast, and properly weighted slim floats are easier for a bluegill to pull under the water. The bobber should float upright, barely on top of the water. Squeeze small BB-sized split shot sinkers onto the line one at a time until the bobber nearly sinks from the weight.
Bait the hook with a small piece of nightcrawler or Berkley's Gulp Alive Cricket, cast the rig to a likely spot, and enjoy the action.
Blake Chimmy caught 15 bluegills and one small bass that afternoon, all returned to the water. When asked how he caught his fish, Blake replied, "Grandpa put some worm on the hook and I pressed the button to make the worm go down to the fish. Then I reeled the fish in."
It sounds like he had fun, I know his grandfather and great-granddad did.

Witwer relies on discredited assumptions
Rob Witwer's column is an example of what Al Gore pointed out in "An Inconvenient Truth," that the popular press doesn't hesitate to level the playing field between pure ideology and scientific theory, presenting the former as the equal to the latter, in complete disregard of evidence, logic, and a broad consensus among experts.
