The Milwaukee Economic Development Corp. delayed a decision regarding North Milwaukee State Bank's request for a $100,000 investment Tuesday.
MEDC opted to hold the bank's agenda item, instead seeking additional information prior to making a decision on its investment in the bank, according to spokesman Jeff Fleming.
The bank, which serves low-income communities and has experienced significant annual losses in recent years, is asking MEDC to purchase around 20,000 shares of its Class A voting stock, about 17 percent of the total shares outstanding. The funds raised will go toward enhancing the bank's equity capital, according to a proposal filed with MEDC.
Reporter Alison Bauter covers finance, technology, retail and education for the Milwaukee Business Journal.

WalMart can sell for less because they buy in volume. they simply get a better break from buying in volume and can sell less than their competitors and still make a profit, even if at the point their profit margin is much less than everyone elses, they still make money. another way WalMart makes money, or they use to, especially on higher priced items, is that they don't actually own that item, but use a sort of consignment type sale system. meaning they order "X" amount of an item for "X" amount of stores and stock it, then pay the vendor when they sell that item. if an item isn't moved fast enough in one location, then they will move them to another location that is selling that item faster. this is the reason that one store will carry something that their other stores don't.
they arent secends just dont have all the bells and whisels aka base models for exampial the savage md 64 at wallmart is the basic plastic stock unit where you will usialy only find the real wood stock units at a gun store nouthing wrond with the saftey or quality same for ammo their arent enouf secondes to fill one stores shelfs
Look at any business that you buy from. For instance, Tripp research when you buy 1911 magazines the more you buy the less each magazine cost. Businesses get the same deals on items bought in bulk. Bulk is the key here. Your LGS aren't buying 1,000s of AR15s to sell.
The guns at WalMart are the same guns you buy at the LGS. The LGS is more flexible than Walmart and that is the advantage they need to push. I bought a 28 gauge Mossberg double barrel for my niece. Walmart would only order a Siver series with a 20 and a 28 gauge barrel. The LGS was able to get a 28 gauge for just a few more dollars than Walmart charges for a 12 gauge. A lot of LGS's are stocking the same guns as WalMart and that creates a perception that all their guns are over priced. Some LGS's have good prices but they are poor promoters or they are just flat out snobs. When I was searching for the silver series for my niece I had salesmen at the LGS just run me out of the shop with their attitude or by bashing the silver series. They are uninformed and tried to switch me to another brand because they thought they had to compete with WalMart.
"I do not aim with my hand; I aim with my eye. He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I do not shoot with my hand; I shoot with my mind. He who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I do not kill with my gun; I kill with my heart. He who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father." Adopt a pet!! http://www.aspca.org/ Some of the finest pleasure horses come from here: http://www.canterusa.org/
I can't say that this is the case here, but retail giants will actually take a loss or make no profit on a product if its deemed an item that will bring people back or into a store. Sell an AR at no profit, while ARs are hot, well John Q Public buys some accessories, some ammunition, some movies and does his food shopping while he's at the store. Best Buy does this on electronics, cellular companies do this on phones. (How else do you think you got a $700 phone for $99?) I could see this being the case with firearms...
Arbitrary enforcement of the law is the mark of tyranny. Citizens will always fight against it.
Mosin, true to a point. another thing is they purchase at such a lower price, and even if they undercut everyone else they still make a small profit.
You get the same damn gun from Wal-Mart as you get from Bass Pro no if ands or buts..................
When all else fails.
Where are the nay sayers? The last time this was brought up, it started a pretty nice flame war, with someone actually claiming to have done compositions and density tests on several models of Walmart guns, and declaring them inferior to the other guns. Don't see them chiming in this time.

It's hard to believe but spring is only eight weeks away. Soon we will mark the return of mild weather, blooming flowers and trees and spring break planning.
The dawn of a new season means it's time for a refresher on steps to save money during this time of year, as well as work on a few household maintenance items.
In this week's Your Life video series, we are with director of home ideas for Direct Energy, Dave Walton, with a tip every day of the week to help you cut down on your energy use and live comfortably in a safe and reliable home. In our first video, we take a look at an increase in carbon monoxide risks and importance of replacing old units.
Series breakdown:
• Monday, Jan. 27: Addressing carbon monoxide safety
Today: In the cold winter months many use their gas-fired furnaces, fireplaces and other fuel-burning appliances to keep warm. Carbon monoxide poisoning risks increase dramatically this time of year. It's important to replace any CO alarm unit that is older than five to seven years.
• Tuesday, Jan. 28: Changing filters
Clogged filters mean your furnace motor has to work harder, which eats up more energy. Replacing or cleaning your furnace filters allows it to run more efficiently. As a bonus, your central air conditioning system also circulates air through the duct system, so having a clean filter all year helps your AC unit to run better.
• Wednesday, Jan. 29: Add a humidifier
Mr. Walton explains that dry, cold air combined with the furnace running can reduce the amount of moisture in the home during the winter. Adding a humidifier to your heating/cooling system is one of the best things a homeowner can do to maintain proper moisture levels and help the body's immune system guard against irritants, including spring allergies.
• Thursday, Jan. 30: Examining insulation
Examine the insulation around windows and doors. Up to 30 per cent of a home's heating and cooling costs can be lost through poorly fitted windows and doors.
• Friday, Jan. 31: Lighting
Some of the most common incandescent light bulbs used are no longer available for purchase. CFL and LED bulbs may cost more initially, but these energy-saving bulbs can last up to 10 times longer than the regular ones.

ACL reconstructionDefinitionACL reconstruction is surgery to rebuild the ligament in the center of your knee with a new ligament. The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) keeps your shin bone (tibia) in place. A tear of this ligament can cause your knee to give way during physical activity. Alternative NamesAnterior cruciate ligament repair DescriptionYou will probably receive general anesthesia right before surgery. This means you will be asleep and pain-free. Sometimes, other kinds of anesthesia are used for this surgery. The tissue that will replace your damaged ACL will come from your own body or from a donor. A donor is a person who has died and, before death, chose to give all or part of his or her body to help others.
The procedure is usually done by knee arthroscopy. With arthroscopy, a tiny camera is inserted into the knee through a small surgical cut. The camera is connected to a video monitor in the operating room. Your surgeon will use the camera to check the ligaments and other tissues of your knee. Your surgeon will make other small cuts around your knee and insert other medical instruments. Your surgeon will fix any other damage found, and then will replace your ACL by following these steps:
At the end of the surgery, your surgeon will close your cuts with sutures (stitches) and put a dressing on them. Most surgeons take pictures during the procedure from the video monitor so that afterward you can see what was found and what was done. Why the Procedure Is PerformedNOT treating a torn ACL can lead to tissue damage and early arthritis. ACL reconstruction may be recommended for these knee problems:
Before choosing to have this surgery, you should understand the time and effort it will take for you to recover. You will need to stick to a program for 4 to 6 months before you can return to full activity. The success of the surgery depends on how well you stick with your rehabilitation program. RisksThe risks from any anesthesia are:
The risks from any surgery are:
Other risks from this surgery are:
Before the ProcedureAlways tell your doctor or nurse what drugs you are taking, even drugs, supplements, or herbs you bought without a prescription. During the 2 weeks before your surgery:
On the day of your surgery:
After the ProcedureYou will probably go home the day of your surgery. You may have to wear a knee brace for the first 1 to 4 weeks. You also may need crutches for 1 to 4 weeks. Most people are allowed to move their knee right after surgery to help prevent stiffness. You may need medicine to manage your pain. Physical therapy can help many people regain motion and strength in their knee. Therapy can last 2 to 6 months. How soon you return to work will depend on the kind of work you do. It can be anywhere from a few days to a few months. A full return to activities and sports usually takes 4 to 6 months. Outlook (Prognosis)ACL reconstruction is usually very successful. A torn ACL used to end the careers of many athletes. Now, improvements in the surgery and in rehabilitation provide much better results. These improvements include less pain and stiffness, fewer complications with the surgery itself, and faster recovery time. Most people will have a stable knee that does not give way after ACL reconstruction. ReferencesPhillips BB. Arthroscopy of the lower extremity. In: Canale ST, Beatty JH, eds.

Appeon Mobile
Appeon Corporation has just released its Appeon Mobile product's beta2 version the other week. Again, like the alpha and beta1 release beforehand - I have been privileged to once again participate in this momentous and historic setting PowerBuilder event! The beta2 release really steps up the game for iOS based mobile computing through PowerBuilder. Here are some of the great new features that I have tested in the first 48 hours of installing this release ...
Real PB application on my aactual iPhone! |
This next beta release of Appeon Mobile upgrades the original iPad simulator from a standard MS-Windows looking dialog to something that resembles the actual iPad device 100%! This new looking simulator can also be resized and rotated unlike its fixed ancestor - which makes developing, unit testing and user presenations through a projector a very handy feature indeed.Updated iPad simulator in Beta2 |
The new iPhone support in Beta2 not only extends to the real device but also adds an iPhone simulator that rivals the iPad version outlined above. The iPhone simulator supoports the iP4, iP4S and iP5 adding the nice resizing and rotational features as well.iPhone simulator running in iP5 mode! |
The Appeon Enterprise Manager (AEM for short) has had a complete make-over from the presentation layer view. It also adds some new Mobile security and operational support items into the server mix as well.AEM feature GUI in the new Appeon 2013 server version. |
New Databases
mySQL and TeraData drivers in Beta2! |
Device API's
The Appeon Mobile product will also allow the PowerBuilder developer's applications to access the iOS devices hardware and various iOS features. Beta2 adds a new set of PB objects that extend the device access to: Appeon WorkSpace shell, iPad/iPhone cameras, device hardware information, muti-media services, iOS notifications, and sound / video recorder to start off with.Actual device information running on my real iPad test machine. |
The Appeon Work Space (AWS) "shell" for the iPad and iPhone also gets an upgrade in Appeon Mobile beta2. The AWS now allows the PB developer to assign an icon to the PB application being deployed which shows up in the AWS application launch list. This also includes a short application description that also now appears in the AWS underneath the application icon.During the applications initialization and launch - the AWS now also shows a percent complete like real iStore updates that gives the iOS user real time feedback on the application progress throughout the processing cycle.
Actual AWS beta2 running on my iPad showing some of the PB applications I am testing! |
Web Service DataWindow
The Appeon Web product introduced support for the new Web Service datawindow a few releases ago. This is an important PB feature for anyone contemplating true n-tier development. This is not only for PB client applications but for PB Server based features that are exposed via NVUO components exposed as .Net Web Services. These can be built in PB Classic (v11.0 and higher) as .Net components or PB.Net (v12.0 and higher) as WCF based components - either of which can be consumed by Appeon based WS DataWindows!I was extremely pleased with my initial tests in this area having my Web Browser, iPad and iPhone test applications perform flawlessly in this area. The Web Service was actually a PB Classic .Net WS returning an ANSI result set that the PB Client deployed to Appeon. This could be consumed through a corresponding WS DataWindow on the client side. The trick here is to have Appeon deploy the .Net assembly that the WS DW builds to broker the WS proxies to the Appeon Server.

The column move is really nice feature like we find in Excel or Windows Explorer. The column resizing is a great feature as the users moves from the iPad to iPhone where real-estate is at a premium or on the origianl device as the iOS user rotates the device from landscape to portrait mode and vise-a-versa.
Appeon Mobile is based on Appeon Server 2013 that also comes with Beta2. Appeon Server already supports Microsoft`s Azure cloud platform and Beta2 "ups the bar" by adding support for the Amazon Cloud platform. This is not obvious until you realize that the sample applications that you run on downloading AWS from the Apple iStore are all accessed through the Amazon Cloud. So kool applications like YouHoops is cloud enabled via Appeon`s PaaS readiness.Stay tuned for more news in the Cloud area before Appeon Mobile`s GA release as Appeon Corporation is also tracking support for the RackSpace Cloud platform as well!
Bug Fixes
The last and most important update to Beta2 is the various minor bug fixes noted in Beta1 that Appeon has already addressed. This is extremely important to me as it now allows my full Foundation Class framework (free on SourceForge) to run in its full entity. The original version I released had a few features disabled as not to interfere with some of Beta1`s short-comings. I can pleasantly now say that Beta2 is ready for the full framework which adds a tremendous amount of RAD developer productivity to the Appeon scene.Conclusion
After only two days with Appeon Mobile beta2 and I can honestly say that this product is shaping up to be a real game changer! Not only for PB developers to reach out to the Web and Mobile space but positioning PB to be a serious cloud (SaaS, PaaS, etc) player as well. The rich iOS features that we see evolving between alpha, Beta1 and now Beta2 put a lot of confidence in me that Appeon will deliver exactly what they have been talking about for the past year. This also sets their track record and market direction like the Gartner 4th quadrant .... being a company that you can count on to deliver top-notch products.Appeon has also just released their 2013-2014 road-map which also sets a pace of application platform development to extend PowerBuilder where Sybase only talked about. I would strongly recommend that you contact Appeon to hear more about their updated road-map!
The other interesting observations I have made as well, is in that their innovation and engineering skills are genuine. I have not seen better project innovation and management like this since Sybase developed PocketBuilder with the best PB project manager I have worked with Martin Malick (now VP at RIM / Blackberry in charge of the new BB10) and engineering team lead Reed Shilts. This certainly reminds me of the people I used to liaise with at PowerSoft when PB`s innovative nature was the prime directive and second to none.
Well done again Appeon!
Bonus: Please link over to my SourceForge project for the new Beta2 compatible STD Foundation Classes and sample applications that I am using for testing referenced in this article! Remember, the framework is fully open source and free too! :-)
Regards ... Chris

Highlanders keep player options open after loss
Relevant offers
Super Rugby
The Highlanders may not replace like with like after losing utility back Buxton Popoali'i for the season.
Popoali'i will undergo surgery and be out of rugby indefinitely due to a serious heart condition.
The Highlanders have some outside cover with the likes of Richard Buckman and Trent Renata and might look to bring in another loose forward, given some niggly injuries have affected their depth in that area.
Buckman and Patrick Osborne ran on the wings against the Crusaders during yesterday's 28-15 loss, while midfielder Malakai Fekitoa also got a go out wide.
However, the Highlanders struggled to play any rugby against a promising-looking Crusaders team yesterday.
After letting in three first-half tries, the Highlanders managed to hit back with two of their own in the second half but were probably flattered by the scoreline.
Although two of the Crusaders' tries - Israel Dagg running 70m and Nafi Tuitavake going 80m - were long-range efforts when the Highlanders were deep on attack, the Highlanders lacked energy through the first half on a sodden Tasman afternoon.
Put that inertia down to a day of travel, or a cloying defensive effort by the Crusaders, but it's something the Highlanders will have to be wary of.
"We didn't have much ball, the two or three times we got it and looked like scoring, they scored," Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph said. "The guys were a bit slow to get going, but if we are like that in the Super Rugby season, it will be tough."
Joseph was drawing positives from the second half.
"The second half was a different half. I thought we did bloody well.
"Physically we met them, I was quite happy with our scrum, we came up against an All Black [front row] and then our defensive effort in the second half was a lot more abrasive."
Both teams ran a lot of changes throughout, and with the rain falling harder as the game progressed, it was a messy encounter.
Highlanders skipper for the day Josh Bekhuis was left ruing some basic errors. "A few too many mistakes, handling errors, and the Crusaders just picked that ball up and scored from it," he said.
"The scrum went well, but I wasn't happy with our lineout, there's a bit to improve on there, but coming up against the Crusaders there's some experienced guys. We did do some good things but in the end the score didn't go our way."
Local officials were hoping to get about 10,000 to the boutique Motueka sports park yesterday, but about 6000 ended up braving the persistent rain.
The Crusaders did come away from the game with some injury concerns. Flanker Jed Brown was stretchered off as a precautionary measure, Dagg wobbled off a head knock when taking a high ball and Adam Whitelock limped off.
The Highlanders have some concerns of their own with Elliot Dixon straining a hamstring and John Hardie playing with a back complaint.
Crusaders 28 (Israel Dagg, Andy Ellis, Nafi Tuitavake, Kieran Fonotia tries; Tyler Bleyendaal 3, Slade con) Highlanders 15 (Ged Robinson, Malakai Fekitoa tries; Willie Ripia pen, Lima Sopoaga con). HT: 21-3

Unlock the entire Houzz
kimbo66's ideas
outdoor deck + living space with ceiling
flip layout and you have nice idea for our backyard (master br addition with sliders to backyard)
adding room with different roofline to avoid overhwelming existing house
imagine half this size, but love idea of windows surrounding room for front of house...like a screened in porch but year-round and more formal
option if you knock down garage and add on to right side of house
second floor addition example
ranch second floor addition
l-shaped front addition, side entry example
love the 3-sided windows and light
back of house, l-shape with lots of light and right side built up...windows create harmony despite varying rooflines
love this roofline for our front, imagine enclosed with windows, laundry/mud room off to left and entry on right, with central glassed in area as living space/main entry/porch area. could add patio area enclosed by row of evergreens to full make private in front lawm
imagine this on right side of our house (where garage is now), with garage moved farther to right front of house.
center addition wit upstairs master/bathroom
ranch second floor addition, love the varying roof lines and traditional cottage feel
love this look, modular but sleek, maybe option for backyard addition (corner of house/bedroom expansion, with deck off bedroom door)
like the portico/room and roofline of addition, as well as additional porch area with built-in planter which makes garden a part of the home structure
this is ultra-modern version, but I like the screen effect of this ... nice way to create privacy in front of house yet make the structure of the patio seem to be part of the actual house
nice way to create private feel in front yard by using raise planting beds with formal specimens/concrete area between planters and house entrance (which doubles as a kind of porch area). Imagine something like this in l-shape going off the right of the house (where garage is now), and then placing new garage on far right side (toward Cushing st)
double-peak roof is nice, image adding room off to the left of the porch for mudroom/laundry, and maybe ENCLOSE the porch for a sunroom effect (4-season with insulation). Add built-in planters on either side of entry for privacy with larger plantings to screen in porch area.
here is your master bedroom upstairs (with side deck!:), and front porch with wrap around. Would be a nice option if we reposition garage and do something like this on right side (corner) of lot
love this bungalow style...could add on front room + mud/laundry room to one side, and create a bump out in center of house with architectural details like the trellis on the gutter to create a bungalow feel along front...and porch along both sides leading to center entry.
LOVE the modular nature of this...front patio with carport-style covering, and wood screens, plus the pop-up roof/second floor area in back of center of house. Breaks up boring straight horizontal lines of ranch roofline
another example of l-shaped ultra-modern house, with centered pop-up second floor/roof. if we did this structure but used bungalow details (rather than wood plank siding), could create a bungalow effect to achieve a more tradtional feel and soften the angular lines
interesting addition that goes front to back on one side of house (rather than the entire width of home). Might work for the right side of our house (since we have a lot of depth there both on front and back of house). Obviously we would do a smaller version of this, but nice idea
curved driveway with garage, creates privacy for back of home
bump outs create appealing roofline, nice bungalow elements
creative use of angles to achieve this
stacked effect roofline, second story/front porch addition

Starting issues in modern fuel injected cars
Saturn Won't Start
courtesy of Bob, The Auto Answer Man
Hi Bob,
I have a problem with my 2002 Saturn L200. In the last few weeks, I have felt that the car seemed to be taking a little longer each time it started. On Friday, I had to hit the gas to start it. It hesitated a few more times during the day, but for the most part, it turned right over (was turned on and off many times). On Saturday, it definitely took more pumping and longer to start. Today, it would not turn over at all, even after pumping a few times. I waited for awhile and still no luck.
I looked through some message boards and one guy was saying how he had to dismantle his security setting and that fixed his problem after his car would not start. I tried that (did not think it could hurt it try) and the car started right up. I have a sinking feeling that this is just a coincidence, since I have felt hesitation for awhile. That doesn't seem to "fit" having anything to do with security. I purchased the car in December last year with 70,000 miles, from a Saturn dealer (with carfax info). I also bought the warranty but am worried that if they tow me and it's not covered on the warranty I will have a hefty bill on my hands. Not to mention, I cannot be without a car, as I use it for work.
I think that it has something to do with the fuel. This all seems to have started happening when I switched to a "cheapo" gas station. Could it be as simple as "bad gas"? Or maybe the fuel pump? Most people I have talked to that know anything about cars say that "gas is gas." Any suggestions?
First off, on modern fuel injected cars, pumping the gas pedal (like on old carburetor engines) does absolutely nothing to help you start the car. In addition, it could be dangerous. You see, what the pumping action does in a carburetor is add more fuel. It is called the accelerator pump. In fuel injected engines, there is a similar situation, except it just adds more fuel through the fuel injectors for a brief moment. The reason that pumping a fuel-injected car does nothing is that without the engine running, the accelerator circuit is not active. The danger comes into play if you are pumping when the engine starts. This could add too much fuel to the mixture and cause issues. There have been reports of such bad backfires that the top of the motor blows off! The better way to "pump" your engine is to key on for three seconds and then key off. Then key on for three seconds and key off. This action turns on the fuel pump and pressurizes the fuel lines. My guess is that your fuel pump is weak, fuel filter is clogged, or fuel pressure regulator is defective.
Good Luck!
Drive Safely!

Good News Everyone!
We're having another Movie Marathon! This time, the theme is Star Wars (because of it being May the Fourth) and Superheroes (because it is free comic book day).
This is the evening session of the Movie Marathon where we will be showing Superhero movies. We split the meetups so you could go to one if you couldn't make both. Please RSVP to both if you are going to both.
We booked the screening room at the Somerville Theater on May 4th! We'll take a break in between the afternoon and the evening session to pick up dinner around Davis Square; we have the room from 2pm to 11pm.
Because renting the screening room at the theater is not free, there is a charge to this meetup. All proceeds will go toward the renting of the room and expenses related to the meetup.
I talked to theater and they said we can bring in whatever we want as long as it isn't hard liquor. Beer, wine, and hard cider are served on the premise as well :-)
Here's what we're showing in the Evening:
6:45 to 8:45 Iron Man
9:00 to 11:00 Avengers
Can't RSVP because PayPal's saying there's something wrong with the seller's email address.
April 9, 2013
You've made me VERY sad because I can't be there, and I love these movies. *sniffle*
April 9, 2013
Refunds offered if:
Payments you make go to the organizer, not to Meetup. You must make refund requests to the organizer.
I'm surprised by the level of growth I've seen since becoming an organizer, it's given me more confidence in my abilities.

Cat eradication plea draws hisses from New Zealand's kitty lovers
Report an Error |
Share via Email
WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND—Gareth Morgan has a simple dream: a New Zealand free of pet cats that threaten native birds. But the environmental advocate has triggered a claws-out backlash with his new anti-feline campaign.
Morgan called on his countrymen Tuesday to make their current cat their last in order to save the nation's unique bird species. He set up a website, called Cats To Go, depicting a tiny kitten with red devil's horns. The opening line: "That little ball of fluff you own is a natural born killer."
He doesn't recommended people euthanize their current cats — "Not necessarily but that is an option" are the site's exact words — but rather neuter them and not replace them when they die. Morgan, an economist and well-known businessman, also suggests people keep cats indoors and that local governments make registration mandatory.
Morgan's campaign is not sitting well in a country that boasts one of the highest cat ownership rates in the world.
"I say to Gareth Morgan, butt out of our lives," Bob Kerridge, the president of the Royal New Zealand Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, told the current affairs television show Campbell Live. "Don't deprive us of the beautiful companionship that a cat can provide individually and as a family."
For thousands of years, New Zealand's native birds had no predators and flourished. Some species, like the kiwi, became flightless. But the arrival of mankind and its introduction of predators like cats, dogs and rodents has wiped out some native bird species altogether and endangered many others.
"Imagine a New Zealand teeming with native wildlife, penguins on the beach, kiwis roaming about in your garden," Morgan writes on his website. "Imagine hearing birdsong in our cities."
But many New Zealanders are against the campaign. Even on Morgan's website, 70 per cent on Tuesday were voting against making their current cat their last.
Morgan could not be reached on Tuesday.
And the science remains unclear. Some argue that cats may actually help native birds by reducing the population of rodents, which sometimes feed on bird eggs.
Morgan's separate personal blog, in fact, has a separate campaign to raise $1 million to eradicate mice from the remote Antipodes Islands, where rodents are the only predators.
A 2011 survey by the New Zealand Companion Animal Council found that 48 per cent of households in New Zealand owned at least one cat, a significantly higher rate than in other developed nations. The survey put the total cat population at 1.4 million.
In the U.S., 33 per cent of households own at least one cat for a total of 86 million domestic cats, according to a 2012 survey by the American Pet Products Association.
Scientist David Winter said cats are indeed a problem in New Zealand, having contributed to the extinction of at least half a dozen New Zealand bird species. Writing on his blog "The Atavism," Winter said Morgan's campaign appeared designed to "start conversations."
Still, he added, "What hope is there for environmentalists in conversation where our side wants to take people's kittens away?"

OBITUARY:Professor Charles Whewell
He was born in 1912, and educated at the grammar school at Darwen, in Lancashire. He graduated in chemistry from Leeds University, and from 1937 held successive appointments there as Senior Lecturer in Textile Chemistry, Reader in Textile Finishing, Professor of Textile Technology and Professor and Head of the Department of Textile Industries. On his retirement he was appointed Emeritus Professor.
Whewell's particular speciality was the finishing of textile fabrics, the processes which change rough, hard pieces of cloth taken from the loom or knitting-machine into soft, luxuriant fabrics with many different visual and tactile characteristics.
From his early experiences at Leeds - including the analysis of the chemical and mechanical processes behind the process of milling, giving a woollen fabric a soft, thick texture - Whewell acquired a lively respect for the skills of craftsmen, coupled with a desire to probe with patience into those scientific principles on which their achievements were (albeit unknowingly) based.
His work in the field of textile practice, his elucidation of the whys and wherefores, his rationalisation of rule-of-thumb procedures of the past and his scientific contributions to modern processes are to be found in his numerous published papers, identifying the mechanical and scientific processes of textile manufacture, and in the minds of those who heard him lecture at Leeds and internationally.
Whewell brought to his activities a freshness of outlook and a clarity of analytical thinking which established for him a world-wide reputation almost unique in the realm of textile technology. Not only did he uncover the hidden mysteries of accumulated skill and experience on the factory shopfloor, he had the gift of so simplifying the story in explanation that lecture audiences, in many parts of the world and at many levels of erudition, listened in delight to his lucid expositions.
Whewell gave great service to the Textile Institute, the chartered body for those working in the professional, technical, managerial, academic and artistic capacities in the industry. He served as the institute's World President (there are members in nearly 100 countries), from 1977 to 1979, as Chairman of Council from 1964 to 1967 and on many of the institute committees for over 35 years. His presidency was noted for the development of new institute sections running lectures and programmes in their own countries.
He was the recipient of most of the Textile Institute's medals and awards, including the Warner Memorial Medal (1960), an Honorary Fellowship for his distinguished research work (1979), Honorary Life Membership (1987) and the Weavers' Company Medal and Prize (1992).
He was made an Honorary Freeman and Liveryman of the Worshipful Company of Clothworkers in 1970. He also received the Distinguished Service Award of the Indian Institute of Technology.
Whewell was as dedicated to Leeds University as he was to the textile industry. For the period 1973-75 he was Pro-Vice Chancellor of the university. A housing association at Leeds carrying his name is a recognition of his work to improve facilities for graduate and undergraduate students. He acted as Honorary Secretary of the Lord Boyle Memorial Trust established after the tragic early death of the statesman Edward Boyle, who spent his last years as Vice- Chancellor of the university.
Charles Whewell was possessed of a gentle and modest demeanour and great wisdom. The cornerstone of his life was his long happy marriage to Emma Stott, herself a leading textile chemist and the joint author with the late Professor J.B. Speakman, of Leeds University, of many classical research papers which explored the chemical structures of fibres.

It breaks my heart every time a sale comes buy with an epic skin I , but I don't have the champion so I miss out on it....
You'd have a skin with no champion to use it what.
Yea, so you could buy the champion later on and you don't miss out on the skin sale.
I also love to purchase artwork, we should make a club!
I don't think it's a bad idea at all. You see a skin for a champion that you intend to purchase soon go on sale but will not have enough time to farm the IP for the champion before the sale is gone. You purchase the skin while it's on sale and then later purchase the champion and have the skin available. The only answer for why it wouldn't be allowed would be because Riot wants people to impulse purchase champions with RP so that they don't miss the skin sale.
But purchasing champions with RP at FULL price is even more heartbreaking than missing out on the sale itself...

Surprise X Factor fan Robert Pattinson reveals he'd like to see Cheryl Cole AND Simon Cowell return to UK show
He's known for the being the somewhat aloof actor who is often seen spending his free time attending cool gigs and bars.
But it seems there's something else Robert Pattinson likes to do in his down time – watching the X Factor.
The 26-year-old opened up about his surprise guilty pleasure and has revealed that not only does he want Cheryl Cole to return to the UK judging panel but he also wants Simon Cowell to do both the original and US version of the show.
Big fan: Robert Pattinson has revealed he'd like to see Cheryl Cole return to the X Factor
Speaking exclusively to the MailOnline, he said: 'I would like to see Cheryl back on The UK X Factor. It is never going to be the same now Simon is not there anymore - but having Cheryl back would be good for the show.
'It hasn't been the same since the two of them left - and if there is a chance to get her back Simon should. In fact Simon should do both shows.
'The US Show is midweek and the UK at weekends - come on Simon you have enough money to charter your own plane.'
Not the same: Robert has also said that he would like to see Simon Cowell doing both the UK and US version of the show
The surprise revelation about the popular talent show came while he is currently filming The Rover in South Australia alongside Guy Pearce.
Opening up about what he is doing during his time off from filming, he said: 'It is great filming in Australia - but they are such long days I just chill out at night.
'I know The Hollywood thing is to say that I have been out partying and at all these cool parties - but it just wouldn't be true.
'I get home after filming and just watch TV online. It is episodes of Only Fools And Horses and Fawlty Towers that keep me going in the evening.'
Old line-up: Both Simon and Cheryl are no longer part of the show, which is a line-up Rob misses
While in Australia Robert has been separated from his girlfriend Kristen Stewart but he doesn't appear to be pining after her too much.
Over the weekend Robert appeared in a video as a greeting for Topfest 2013, which is the world's largest short film festival, alongside his co-star Guy Pearce.
Guy began the short introduction: 'Hi everybody at Tropfest, I'm Guy Pearce.'
Staying true to his 'man of few words' image, Rob started speaking while batting away a fly that kept flying in his face: 'I'm Rob Pattinson.'
On set: Robert was seen filming on set for The Rover in Southern Australia
After a short pause he continued: 'Oh s**t, am I continuing?' before he bursts into laughter.
He then adds: 'We collectively wish that we could be there enjoying all the fabulous Topfest films with you tonight.'
'Have a great night and good luck to the sixteen finalists,' Rob finishes.
New look: Robert has shaved his head for his new role which he is currently filming alongside Guy Pearce
The Rover is directed by David Michod, who wrote the script based on an idea co-conceived with Zero Dark Thirty's Joel Edgerton.
It tells the story of a lone traveller, Eric (Pearce), who is forced to pursue a ruthless gag of criminals after they steal his car.
He enlists the help of Reynolds (Pattinson), who has been described as 'the naïve and injured junior member of the gang', who was left behind after a robbery.

Michael To Take┬ĀPage Out of┬ĀSilver Linings Playbook
So, I THINK the Seattle SeahawksŌĆÖ┬ĀPercy Harvin┬Āis having surgery. The entire nation talked about it for a day, and the Pacific Northwest hasnŌĆÖt stopped bickering about it.
It is certainly a shot to the groin. Here you have this exciting team, and then you add one of the most exciting players to it, only to be hurt before the season even begins.
ItŌĆÖs kind of like your parents getting you that Nintendo 64 you had always wanted, letting you unwrap it and then taking a sledgehammer to it right before your youthful eyes.
It hurts.
But that doesnŌĆÖt change the fact that you still have a Super Nintendo and Playstation to keep you entertained ŌĆō more 90s video game references you say?
We can go on without Percy┬ĀHarvin, but he isnŌĆÖt the only one sitting out of practices. In fact, there were 20 in all, including names such as┬ĀZach Miller and┬ĀSidney Rice┬Ā(who is apparently getting a blood injection treatment in Switzerland that isnŌĆÖt allowed in the US).
Seahawks had 20 players sitting out today. But Carroll said all but Harvin should be ready for the season.
ŌĆö Bob Condotta (@bcondotta) August 1, 2013
Most of these are likely precautionary, and the players will be ready to go by week one. But for now, while the starters sit, there is a silver lining in the mix ŌĆō the gaping window of opportunity for the young bucks. Who will step up to the challenge? Keep an eye on┬ĀChristine Michael.
Christine Michael has a chance to shine as a returner in Percy HarvinŌĆÖs absence. (Photo: Joe Nicholson/USA TODAY Sports)
Players have been stepping up in the startersŌĆÖ absences ŌĆō i.e. Chris Harper ŌĆō on offense, defense and even special teams.┬ĀHarvinŌĆÖs injury leaves a void in several areas on the roster, considering his versatility. He is known as one of the most electrifying return men in the game.
With Leon Washington now in New England, Percy was likely to fill his shoes. Now someone will need to rise to the occasion.
Christine Michael was drafted with the SeahawksŌĆÖ first pick of 2013 because of his raw athleticism and domination in the NFL combine. If there is ever a scenario to show off your athletic ability, it is putting the ball in your hands with an open field.
Pete Carroll┬Āspoke of this position battle after ThursdayŌĆÖs practice, and praised MichaelŌĆÖs ability:
ŌĆ£HeŌĆÖs done nothing but good stuff. HeŌĆÖs very quick, lightning quick, a really good worker, he finishes, he makes an impression to you all the time about how heŌĆÖs willing to bust his tail to get down the field and finish runs, finish blocks and all that stuff. HeŌĆÖs fast, and heŌĆÖs picking things up so heŌĆÖs doing good.ŌĆØ
He continued to note┬ĀGolden Tate,┬ĀBryan Walters┬Āand┬ĀJeremy Lane┬Āare also competing for the position of kick returner.
It is upsetting that Percy wonŌĆÖt be returning that season-opening kick, but it is exciting that Michael just may be.
Players have made careers out of kick returning ŌĆö Devin Hester, Leon Washington, Dante Hall ŌĆö and if he is successful, he just may be given the ball in the backfield more often as well.
ŌĆ£I think Robert Turbin is in deep deep troubleŌĆØ Per Dick Fain on KJR (HeŌĆÖs impressed with Christine Michael) #Seahawks
ŌĆö Q SmithŌäó (@NWSBQ) August 1, 2013
By no means am I saying we give┬ĀMarshawn Lynch less carries. But it is just good to know that we have a healthy competition at the spell position.
