Stefan Hunt spent much of his academic career trying to understand why people make lousy financial decisions.
Now the former Harvard and Yale economist is helping U.K. market regulators protect consumers from those who might profit from exploiting the biases, instincts and fears that prompt those poor choices.
"It's not like we are completely irrational," said Hunt, who leads a 25-strong research team at the Financial Services Authority. "We make some systematic and predictable mistakes."
Regulators are attempting to use behavioral economics to better understand the mindset behind the improprieties plaguing Britain's financial hub: from rogue trader Kweku Adoboli, who hid trades that cost UBS AG $2.3 billion, to improper sales of loan insurance, for which U.K. banks have set aside more than 10 billion pounds ($16 billion) to compensate consumers.
The 37-year-old said he hopes awareness of behavioral science will make for better rules and fairer markets as the FSA prepares to split its role and create a new consumer-protection agency next year.
Behaviorists challenge the notion in traditional economics that people weigh their options and pick the best outcome for themselves. Instead, they look at the psychology of choices.
Human Behavior
"It's a very different kind of approach for regulation," said Dan Ariely, a professor at North Carolina's Duke University and behavioral economist. "We need to understand what really drives human behavior."
Before he joined the FSA in January 2011, Hunt completed a doctorate at Harvard, for which he spent 15 months in India with rural farmers studying whether having information about commodities futures changed their decision making. Before that, he worked for Prudential Financial Inc. for two years in Hong Kong, leaving in 2002 to return to academia.
Hunt heads the Economics of Financial Regulation team. He's less than revealing about its work so far, because much of it isn't yet public, and the FSA didn't publicize Hunt's hiring. It's clear, however, that there is a strong focus on retail finance, a 1.2 trillion-pound industry in the U.K.
Wrong Decisions
People "understandably make some wrong decisions in choosing and using financial products," Hunt said in an interview at the FSA's headquarters in London's Canary Wharf.
The problems come from the difficulties in processing complex information, or from natural human tendencies like procrastination, and are made worse when products are opaque.
Hunt has spent the last two years meeting staff in various FSA departments encouraging them to consider behavioral economics, and inviting prominent academics to present their work to regulators. There's a large body of academic research for Hunt to call on to determine how to change people's choices.
Bank customers in South Africa, for example, accepted a higher rate of interest on loans when a photo of an attractive woman was included in the offer letter, according to a 2009 study by researchers from Yale and the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. Not linking the loan to a specific use also affected demand, as did the number of example loans.
"Small changes that you would not expect to have a massive effect can be important," Hunt said.
Loans, Cards
The U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has already begun to put behavioral theory into practice in writing and enforcing rules for mortgages, credit cards and payday loans. Its assistant director of research, Sendhil Mullainathan, is, like Hunt, immersed in behavioral economics -- he was one of the authors of the paper on South African loan customers.
European regulators also looked to the behavioral theory field in drafting new rules for packaged investment products, known as PRIPs, a 9 trillion-euro ($11.7 trillion) market, according to Frederic Hache of Finance Watch, a public-interest lobbying group. The EU proposal will require that retail investors be shown an information document that is clear and easy to understand. The measure is to be debated by the European Parliament next year.
"I've seen what you can do with packaging," said Hache, a former banker with Credit Suisse Group AG. "In most cases, it's a way to embed big margins rather than promote innovation that benefits an investor."
Next year, the U.K. FSA will be split up. The Prudential Regulation Authority will monitor bank stability and the Financial Conduct Authority will protect customers and regulate markets. Hunt's team is to work within the FCA on issues ranging from punishing breaches to monitoring trading risks.

Karem Aircraft will design a tiltrotor to meet U.S. Army future utility-rotorcraft requirements under one of four contracts awarded for Phase one of the Joint Multi Role technology demonstration.
JMR is a precursor to the Army's planned Future Vertical Lift (FVL) Medium program to replace first the Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter and later the Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, beginning in the mid-2030s.
The Army's Aviation and Missile Research, Development and Engineering Command has signed technology investment agreements (TIAs) with AVX Aircraft, Bell Helicopter, Karem and a Sikorsky/Boeing team.
A surprise entrant in the JMR program, Karem is designing the TR36TD demonstrator, an optimum-speed tiltrotor (OSTR) with twin 36-ft.-dia., variable-speed rotors powered by existing turboshaft engines.
Bell is designing a "third-generation tiltrotor, the V-280 Valor, while AVX is working on a coaxial-rotor, ducted-fan compound helicopter and Sikorsky a coaxial rigid-rotor, pusher-propeller design.
A JMR TD requirement is a cruise speed of at least 230 kt. — 50% faster that a conventional helicopter. Karem says a production version of the TR36D would have a level flight speed of 360 kt. Bell's V-280 has a 280-kt. cruise, while the AVX and Sikorsky/Boeing designs are aiming for 230 kt.
The TIAs give all four teams nine months to complete preliminary design of their rotorcraft, after which the Army will review the competing designs and authorize the construction of two competing demonstrators to fly in 2017.
Karem says its variable-speed OSTR configuration offers advantages in weight, drive train and aerodynamic and propulsive efficiency. In addition to high speed, the TR36TD would have "robust" hover performance at altitude, higher climb rate and sustained maneuverability, and longer range than other vertical-takeoff-and-landing configurations, the company says.
The company also says the OSTR offers reduced complexity, inherent safety advantages, simplified maintenance and low total ownership cost.
Inventor Abe Karem designed the precursor to the Predator unmanned aircraft and the (now Boeing) A160 Hummingbird long-endurance unmanned helicopter with its optimum-speed rotor. He formed Karem Aircraft in 2004 to develop the OSTR concept.
From 2005-2010 Karem studied a version of the OSTR weighing more than 200,000 lb. under the Army-led Joint Heavy Lift (JHL) effort. The TR75 had two 75-ft.-dia., variable-speed rotors. Lockheed Martin teamed with Karem on JHL, which was eventually shelved for lack of funding.
The company is continuing private-venture development of two commercial OSTR aircraft, the 90-passenger AeroCommuter and 180-passenger AeroTrain.

Tolosa-Hunt syndrome with involving structures outside the cavernous sinus: report a case with histological study
Tolosa-Hunt-Syndrom mit betreffenden Strukturen außerhalb das höhlenartige Stirnhöhle: berichten Sie einen Rechtsfall mit histologischem Studium
Suche in Medline nach
|4. Mai 2005
Tolosa-Hunt syndrome (THS) also known as painful ophtalmoplegia is a rare entity characterised by unilateral retro-orbital or hemicranial pain and variable numbness and paresis of the third, fourth, and or sixth cranial nerves. Having a relapsing and remitting course and response to systemic corticosteroid therapy. The THS is due to idiopathic non granulomatous inflammation process of CS. Results of neuroimaging studies obtained in STH may be unremarkable. The diagnosis is made by exclusion of others infiltrative processes such as meningioma, lymphoma, and infection processes that mimic THS. To report a case of THS with involving structures outside the CS with histological confirmation
A 37 year immuno-competent man presented with right unilateral painful ophtalmoplegia. Computer tomodensitometry scan (CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a lesion of right CS with extension in to upper clivus and posterior wall of CS. Exhaustive biological and radiological study showed no abnormalities and excluded others aetiologies mimicking THS. The involving outside of CS was uncommon.
A surgical biopsy was made via transsphenoidal approach targeting the upper clivus and posterior wall extension of the SC. Histological study showed an idiopathic non granulomatous inflammation. The response to systemic corticosteroid therapy was unremarkable within 72 hours.The patient responded with resolution of his retro-orbital pain and gradual improvement in ptosis and ophtalmoplegia. Six month postoperative CT scan showed decreased size volume of CS. MRI showed decreased in signal and volume of CS With 18 months Follow-up the patient is asymptomatic with no clinical recurrence.
The aetiology of THS is an idiopathic non granulomatous inflammation process of CS. The diagnosis is therefore made by exclusion. Biopsy of the lesion may require confirming the diagnosis. Biopsy of the posterior wall of cavernous sinus via transsphenoidal approach is simple rapid and effective to confirm the non-specific inflammatory in THS and excluding others aetiologies mimicking THS.

Arsenault's fall: Is anyone surprised?EDITORIAL
February 05. 2014 11:29PM
During the priest sex abuse scandal, Edward Arsenault was the face of the Diocese of Manchester. He was the one telling parishioners and the public that there was nothing to see here. When the coverup was exposed and the state had reached a settlement agreement with the Diocese, Arsenault was the one telling everyone that the Diocese was fully compliant with the terms, regardless of whether that was true.
In 2007, the Attorney General's office found that the Diocese still was not placing accused priests on leave as required by the settlement. Arsenault said this in response: "The Report cites no instance where we have not complied with our diocesan policy, the Charter, and the Agreement."
That was a lie, clearly contradicted by the report. Shown that the report documented instances of non-compliance, Arsenault said, "there might be a lack of full compliance in one instance" and added, "It's not going to be perfect on any one day, but I do think it is substantially compliant."
That was the kind of deception to which Arsenault subjected parishioners throughout the scandal. This week he said he would plead guilty to stealing thousands of dollars from the Diocese, Catholic Medical Center and the estate of Rev. Msgr. John E. Molan. The only surprise is that he admitted his guilt, though he let authorities investigate him for nearly a year first. We wonder what he used the money for.
If the court accepts the plea-bargain, Arsenault will spend four years in prison for his thievery. For his many moral transgressions against the Roman Catholic faithful of New Hampshire, he will never be held to account, at least not in this life.

Boston Marathon suspect in no condition yet to be questioned, Boston police chief says
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev remained in serious condition at a Boston hospital under heavy guard Sunday as investigators continued the long process of looking over motives, methods and possible links.
Tsarnaev, 19, who was taken into custody on Friday and whose older brother, Tamerlan, was killed in a shootout with police, will be questioned by a special team sent in by the FBI, Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis told "Fox News Sunday."
"He's [Dzhokhar] in no condition to be interrogated at this point in time. He's progressing, though, and we're monitoring the situation carefully," Davis said.
Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Saturday Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was in serious but stable condition and was probably unable to communicate. Tsarnaev was at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where 11 victims of the bombing were still being treated.
"I, and I think all of the law enforcement officials, are hoping for a host of reasons the suspect survives," the governor said after a ceremony at Fenway Park to honor the victims and survivors of the attack. "We have a million questions, and those questions need to be answered."
The twin bombings killed three people and wounded more than 180.
Patrick told NBC on Sunday that surveillance video clearly puts Dzhokhar Tsarnaev at the scene of the attack.
"It does seem to be pretty clear that this suspect took the backpack off, put it down, did not react when the first explosion went off and then moved away from the backpack in time for the second explosion," Patrick said. "It's pretty clear about his involvement and pretty chilling, frankly."
Investigators believe the suspects also were likely planning other attacks based on the cache of weapons uncovered during the Thursday night shootout, according to Davis.
"We have reason to believe, based upon the evidence that was found at that scene -- the explosions, the explosive ordnance that was unexploded and the firepower that they had -- that they were going to attack other individuals," Davis said Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation". "That's my belief at this point."
Davis added on "Fox News Sunday" that authorities cannot be positive there aren't more explosives that haven't been found, but the people of Boston are safe.
There was no immediate word on when Tsarnaev might be charged and what those charges would be, but a source told Fox News charges wouldn't come Sunday.
But the most serious charge available to federal prosecutors would be the use of a weapon of mass destruction to kill people, which carries a possible death sentence. Massachusetts does not have the death penalty.
A Justice Department official said Friday the government is invoking a seldom-used public safety exception permitting officials to engage in a limited and focused unwarned interrogation of a suspect -- in this case Dzhokhar Tsarnaev -- without first reading him his typically assured Miranda rights. That official, as well as a second, both of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity, says Tsarnaev will be questioned by a special interrogation team for high-value suspects.
The public safety exception not only permits the unwarned questioning of a suspect, but also allows the government to introduce any statement yielded by such interrogation as evidence in court. The exception is triggered when authorities have an objectively reasonable need to protect themselves or the public from a clear and present danger.
However, the exception lasts only 48 hours and should be extended by declaring Tsarnaev a potential enemy combatant, under the Law of War, Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina; John McCain, Arizona; and Kelly Ayotte, New Hampshire, said in a statement Saturday. They were joined by New York Republican Rep. Peter King.
A lawyer for the wife of Tamerlan Tsarnaev said Sunday federal authorities have asked to speak with his client as part of their investigation.
Authorities went to the suburban Rhode Island home of Tsarnaev's in-laws Sunday evening, where Katherine Russell Tsarnaev has been staying. Lawyer Amato DeLuca tells The Associated Press that she did not speak with them, and they are discussing how to proceed.
DeLuca says Tsarnaev did not suspect her husband of anything, and nothing seemed amiss after the bombings. He says she had been working 70 to 80 hours a week as a home health care aide, while her husband cared for their daughter.
DeLuca says on the day he died, Tamerlan Tsarnaev was home when his wife left for work, and that the couple married in 2009 or 2010.
According to media accounts, Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, were Muslims who recently gravitated to a radical strain of Islam, going so far as to post Anti-American, jihadist videos on social-media sites. Both are thought to have as-yet-unprobed ties to a radical Muslim cleric hellbent on the destruction of the American way of life.
A day-long dragnet for Tsarnaev ended Friday, with police capturing the suspect covered in blood and hiding in a boat in the backyard of a man who called 911 after becoming suspicious of activity on his property.
"We got him," Boston Mayor Tom Menino tweeted moments later, as neighbors gathered to form a gauntlet of cheers while a phalanx of police cars departed the scene.
Police moved in on Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Friday evening after a tip led them to the home on Franklin Street.
Neighbors said they heard more than 30 shots likened to "a roll of firecrackers shooting off." Police swarmed the scene, and several explosions, possibly police concussion grenades, were heard after a robot moved in on the boat. Less than two hours later, at about 9 p.m., the suspect, believed to have been injured in a wild shootout that spanned Thursday night to Friday morning, was being taken to Beth Israel Hospital.
No police were injured when shots were fired by the boat.
Sources told Fox News the shed and the boat had been searched earlier, but a local man noticed a door to it had been opened, saw blood on the tarp and called police.
"It was a call from a resident of Watertown," Watertown Police Chief Edward Deveau said. "We got that call, and we got the guy."
Davis said Tsarnaev was in serious condition and was found "covered with blood." He did not come out from inside the boat willingly, despite the efforts of negotiators, Davis said.
"We assume that those injuries came from the gunfire the night before," Davis said. He also said Tsarnaev did not have any explosives with him when he was taken into custody.
The hiding place was found just moments after police said their hunt for Tsarnaev, one of two radical Muslim brothers suspected in Monday's attack, had gone cold and urged people to "go about your business."
Shortly after the capture was announced, Watertown residents poured out of their homes and lined the streets to cheer police vehicles as they rolled away from the scene.
Celebratory bells rang from a church tower. Teenagers waved American flags. Drivers honked. Every time an emergency vehicle went by, people cheered loudly.
"Tonight, our family applauds the entire law enforcement community for a job well done, and trust that our justice system will now do its job," said the family of 8-year-old Martin Richard, who died in the bombing.
Early in the day, police told residents of several city neighborhoods, especially Watertown, to stay inside. School was canceled, bus and train service suspended and people were even told not to venture out for work. But those restrictions were lifted at the news briefing Friday night about 15 minutes before the gunshots were heard.
The boat Tsarnaev hid under was just outside the tight perimeter where Black Hawk helicopters patrolled the sky and police went door-to-door hunting for him, police said. Police say he and his older brother placed the deadly bombs, at least one of which was made from a pressure cooker packed with explosives and shrapnel, at the race, killing three and injuring more than 180. The sibling suspects are from Dagestan, a province in Russia that borders Chechnya, but have been in the U.S. for as much as a decade..
On Thursday night, hours after the radicalized Muslims were fingered by the FBI and their images circulated around the world, they killed a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer and carjacked an SUV from a man who later escaped. The brothers led police on a chase through city streets that included a wild shootout that saw some 200 shots fired and the suspects hurling pipe bombs from the SUV. Bizarrely, police discounted earlier reports that the brothers had robbed a 7/11, saying although it had been robbed, and they had been caught on surveillance video, they were not the robbers.
The pursuit went into Watertown, where Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, was shot several times in the gunfight. But Dzhokhar Tsarnaev somehow slipped away, running over his already wounded brother as he fled by car, according to two law enforcement officials who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity. Tamerlan Tsarnaev was pronounced dead at Beth Israel Hospital Deaconess Medical Center Friday morning. But at some point following the shootout and car chase, the younger brother fled by foot, according to State Police, who said Friday night they don't believe he now has access to a car.
During the pursuit, a MBTA transit police officer was seriously injured and transported to the hospital, according to a news release. He was identified as Richard H. Donahue Jr., 33, and was at Mount. Auburn Hospital in critical but stable condition.
The suspects' bloody rampage claimed the life of MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, 26, who was found shot to death in his squad car at 10:20 p.m. Thursday in what Davis termed a "vicious assassination."
Moments after the shooting, the brothers carjacked the Mercedes SUV from Third Street in Cambridge and forced the driver to stop at several bank machines to withdraw money. The driver later told police that the brothers had bragged to him that they were the marathon bombers, law enforcement authorities said.
"The guy was very lucky that they let him go," Massachusetts State Police spokesman David Procopio said.
It was when police were working to activate the tracking device on the stolen SUV, that other patrol officers spotted it in nearby Watertown, touching off the dramatic chase.
FBI Special Agent Rick Deslauriers said Friday night the FBI pored though thousands of tips, and chased down countless leads in the intense probe following the terror attack on Monday.
"The was a truly intense investigation," Deslauriers said. "As a result of that justice is being served for each of the victims of these crimes."

River access proposal in Litchfield raises concernsBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
October 05. 2017 11:52PM
LITCHFIELD — Several residents say a proposed plan to build an accessway to the Merrimack River would disturb local farming efforts, while others believe the project is long overdue.
The River Access Subcommittee is recommending that a driveway be constructed on town-owned property at 296 Charles Bancroft Highway, which leads directly to the Merrimack River. It is also proposing a parking area to accommodate up to 10 vehicles.
Although the land is used by the McQuesten family farm, the 13.6-acre parcel was previously purchased by the Litchfield Conservation Commission for $610,000.
"When the land was purchased, it was purchased to conserve farmland … I would hate to see more of it disappear," said Gene Berg of 294 Charles Bancroft Highway.
As more development takes place throughout Litchfield, Berg said he is concerned the town's farmland — which he said makes the community special — will continue to erode.
Under the proposal, a gravel driveway about 20 feet wide and 500 feet long would be constructed on the property.
The access point could be used for kayaks, canoes and other hand-carried boats, and no trees will need to be demolished in order for the driveway to be built, say organizers.
The project would use up to 1.5 acres of the parcel, with the driveway extending from Route 3A to within about 250 feet of the river, according to the conceptual plan, which also includes a walking path that leads directly to the water.
A gate would be constructed near Route 3A that could be closed and locked at night to prevent entry, and a fence should also be considered as part of the project, along with security cameras and boulders to prevent individuals from accessing the nearby farmland, said Jayson Brennen of the River Access Subcommittee.
During a public hearing last week before the Litchfield Board of Selectmen, Jake McQuesten said the area being considered is currently used by the McQuesten family farm for irrigation purposes, adding expensive equipment is housed in that location.
"If we invite people to go into this area, we feel that it might be closed in a few years because of vandalism," said McQuesten. "The fact is, we could lose severe amounts of income on that area."
Others told town officials that river access should be a priority.
"Right now there is very little good access for this stretch of the river," said Gene Porter, chairman of the Lower Merrimack River Local Advisory Committee.
Josh Lane of 375 Charles Bancroft Highway echoed his support, saying the Merrimack River is a pristine amenity that should be easily available to Litchfield's youth.
"There is no reason why we should not have access to this river," he said, stressing the town owns the property and can do with it what it wants.
Matt McQuesten said he is not opposed to providing river access, but does not believe the farmland is the ideal spot for the project.
"It is just going to invite drugs and alcohol," he said, maintaining it will not be patrolled and could create trouble down the road.
Peter Ames of Moose Hollow Road disagreed. As a member of the town's recreation commission, Ames said the project is a great opportunity to promote more activity on the river, an under-used an amenity in the town.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Elephant and Rhino poaching surged to record levels in 2011 and an increase in illegal tiger hunting makes the species' extinction a real near-term threat with only about 3,200 of the big cats left in the wild, according to a report commissioned by the World Wildlife Fund.
The report, launched Wednesday, found that illicit trade in wildlife is worth at least $19 billion a year with organized criminals viewing it as high profit and low risk because governments don't give it a high enough priority and haven't implemented an effective response.
Germany's U.N. Ambassador Peter Wittig, who hosted the launch, said strong demand and high prices for rhino horn and elephant ivory in particular have spurred poaching, which is an organized crime.
"2011 was the highest year on record for elephant poaching: ivory estimated to weigh more than 23 metric tons — a figure that represents 2,500 elephants — was confiscated in 2011," Wittig said. "And the illegal poaching of rhinos surged to a record high in 2011, with a final death toll of 448 rhinos in southern Africa alone."
He said this trend continued in 2012, with ivory prices up to $1,000 a pound and rhino horns up to approximately $30,000 per pound.
Wittig stressed that it isn't only rhinos and elephants that are at risk.
"There may be as few as 3,200 wild tigers left in the world — and the increase in poaching makes extinction of tiger species a very real threat," he said.
According to the report, although illicit wildlife trafficking has a well-documented link to other forms of illegal trafficking, the financing of rebel groups, corruption and money laundering, "the issue is primarily seen as an environmental issue, which puts it low on governments' agendas."
They also called for governments to be held accountable for enforcing regulations on wildlife, including imposing sanctions where necessary, and a campaign to reduce demand for endangered species.
The World Wildlife Fund, known as WWF, and TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring network, called on governments to recognize the threat to their sovereignty posed by illegal wildlife trafficking and treat the crime "equally and in coordination with efforts to halt other forms of illegal trafficking, corruption and money laundering."
"Wildlife crime has escalated alarmingly in the past decade," said Jim Leape, director general of WWF International. "It is driven by global crime syndicates, and so we need a concentrated global response."
He said communities, often the world's poorest, lose the most from the illicit trade because families that depend on natural resources are losing their livelihoods while criminal gangs and corrupt officials rake in profits.
The report was produced for WWF by Dalberg Global Development Advisors, a strategic consulting firm that says it "works to raise living standards in developing countries and address global issues such as climate change."

Seacoast banker Ben Wheeler helps lead within the communityBy GRETYL MACALASTER
Union Leader Correspondent
January 28. 2013 1:23AM
Benjamin S. Wheeler, 33Home: Rye
Birthplace: Portsmouth
Family: Wife, Michelle Wheeler; daughter, Emma Wheeler; parents, Donna and Craig; brother, Colin, and his wife, Robin, and their children, Eliza, Cameron, and Abigail
High school: Portsmouth High College/post-grad degrees:
Keene State College, history degree and master in public administration from University of New Hampshire
Current job: Vice president/commercial loan officer Key past positions held: Assistant vice president and business development officer
Volunteer activities: Portsmouth Rotary Club, Portsmouth Rotary Club board of directors, community service chairman; 2013 golf tournament chairman; Clipper Foundation lead gift solicitor: we have raised over $5 million in just six months; FUTURES advisory board member; FUTURES Finance Committee; Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce board of directors; Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce executive committee (treasurer, 2011-2012); Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce executive committee (vice chairman, 2012-2013); Foundation for Seacoast Health Finance Committee.
PORTSMOUTH - "I think I'm probably one of the luckiest guys in the world," Ben Wheeler says when asked about the path his life has taken.
He comes from a close-knit New Hampshire family, has been guided by life-long mentors, and has the support of a loving wife.
It was his tee-ball coach, John Pratt, who encouraged him to pursue banking, and it was Pratt who nominated Wheeler for this year's class of 40 Under Forty honorees.
Wheeler worked for Citizens Bank for about a year before moving to First Colebrook Bank where he currently serves as vice president and commercial loan officer. Wheeler has been at the center of the local bank's success, both in the community and in lending.
"In order to be successful in a small community bank like ours, you have to be fully entrenched in your community," Wheeler said.
The bank encouraged him to pursue involvement in the local Rotary Club, the Portsmouth Area Chamber of Commerce, and other local organizations.
But Wheeler has not just been involved, he has led fundraising efforts, youth leadership efforts, and is always looking to do more.
As the former district chairman of the Rotary Youth Leaders of America program, he oversaw a five-day leadership training for 110 youth from across the district and also served as the U.S. RYLA representative to an international conference in Brisbane, Australia. Taking risks and having fun doing it is a part of Wheeler's makeup.
Some of his best days before welcoming daughter Emma six months ago was serving as river manager for Moxie Outdoor Adventures leading rafting trips down the Kennebec and Penobscot rivers in Maine.Today, Wheeler said he is still at his most relaxed when he is sitting in the middle of a raft, floating down a river.
Wheeler said life is a balance, and having an incredibly supportive wife helps him balance all of the duties of his life.
"Everybody around me buys into what I'm doing and if that wasn't the case, I couldn't do any of this stuff," Wheeler said.

Rental in Tilton saves fire chief's jobBy DAN SEUFERT
Union Leader Correspondent
January 06. 2013 10:40PM
TILTON - Tilton-Northfield Fire Chief Brad Ober ended the controversy over his residency last week by renting an apartment in Tilton.
Ober now has to pay the costs of his home in Ashland, which he's been trying to sell since 2011, and his new apartment.
"I'm pretty sure I would have been (fired), so I had no choice," Ober said.
The district's fire commissioners have said Ober is doing a great job.
"It's beyond me how anyone could consider firing him; he's loved by his men and by the community, he's at every community event, he's been working through his vacations, he's been an ideal fire chief," said Patricia Consentino, the chair of Tilton's board of selectmen.
"He's been a victim of the bad housing market, he hasn't been able to sell his home, and that is not his fault," she said. "I am deeply saddened that now he has an additional financial burden of having to pay the costs of two homes."
When Ober was hired in 2010, he agreed to move to the Tilton-Northfield district from Ashland, where he had been serving as chief.
He put his Ashland house up for sale in 2011. Last August, the fire commissioners granted him an extension, saying that he needed to be a resident of the district by this month at the latest.
"The house just hasn't sold," Ober said. "I've been preparing to move, but it just hasn't sold."
Fire commissioners said they have accepted his decision to rent an apartment as fulfillment of his contract obligation.
Consentino said town officials understand the wish by the fire commission to have an in-district chief. But the town has not had such a chief in recent history, she said, noting recent chiefs have lived out of town.
Tilton's police chief, its highway department manager, and several other top-level town officials live in other towns, she said.
"We've never had a chief live in the district, but this chief was trying," she said. "I'm thrilled that (Ober) will continue to be our chief, but it didn't have to be this way."

I have been following Hurd for years and I must say that right now (and for perhaps a year) there seems to be a more focused effort take make it stable and make it work, using gnumach as the kernel.
The chase for a new micro kernel is still on but very much a more academic exercise happening in parallel and in a slow pace from what I can tell.
The GNU Hurd project still suffers from not enough developers to do the work that is needed.
The ambition to port OpenJDK 7 to Hurd (and fixing things in core places as needed) is an excellent way of making it more stable.
Archhurd has proven that DDE is possible to use as a driver layer and while I was skeptical to have drivers in userland, I now see that it is an excellent way of getting drivers with less effort and ok performance. It It is not like the freebsd layer in Haiku (which I think is in privileged kernel land) but the goals are different between the OSes. DDE fits perfectly into Hurd.

Deccan Chargers sold to Kamala Landmarc
The owners of the cash-strapped Deccan Chargers have sold the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise to a real estate company for an undisclosed sum.cricket Updated: Oct 12, 2012 18:06 IST
The owners of the cash-strapped Deccan Chargers have sold the Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise to a real estate company for an undisclosed sum.
Deccan Chronicle Holdings who paid $107 million for the franchise in 2008 informed the Indian stock exchanges on Friday of their decision to sell the team to Kamla Landmarc a Mumbai-based real estate company.
Last month the owners had invited bids for the franchise after being granted approval by the Indian cricket board (BCCI) but rejected the sole offer of nine billion rupees ($162.4 million) for the 2009 IPL champions.
The BCCI later terminated the franchise for various defaults including failure to pay overdue player fees but the owners immediately issued a legal challenge against the expulsion a case which is still ongoing.
Sri Lankan batsman Kumar Sangakkara captained the team in the 2012 edition of the lucrative IPL heading a team which also included South Africa paceman Dale Steyn but failed to qualify for the playoffs.
Last year the BCCI terminated the contract of the Kochi franchise for defaulting on payments while DLF India's largest real estate firm terminated the title sponsorship of the league in August ending a five-year association.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc.'s energy unit is buying the rest of Canadian power transmission provider AltaLink for 3.2 million Canadian dollars (about $2.92 billion).
Berkshire Hathaway Energy is buying SNC-Lavalin's equity stake in AltaLink. This will give Berkshire Hathaway Energy full equity ownership of AltaLink.
Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Energy owns and operates transmission and distribution lines in the U.S. The Des Moines, Iowa, company also owns or contracts more than 28,000 megawatts of electricity generation.
AltaLink will keep its name and continue to run as a separate company under Berkshire Hathaway Energy. Its headquarters will remain in Calgary.
The deal needs regulatory approval from the Alberta Utilities Commission. The regulatory process is expected to close later this year or in early 2015.

Lady Bucs break school record with 19 hits in game two; Cason joins record book with four-hit effort
DURHAM, N.C. (April 23, 2010) - The ETSU softball team pounded out 35 runs on 37 hits en route to sweeping North Carolina Central on Friday afternoon at Thomas Brooks Park in Durham. The Lady Bucs used a 10-run third to break open game one as ETSU cruised to a five-inning win, 17-1. In the nightcap, ETSU recorded a school-record 19 hits and scored a season-high 18 runs in the 13-run victory over the Eagles.
With the sweep, ETSU improved to 18-32 on the season, while N.C. Central dropped to 7-35 on the year.
As a team, the Lady Bucs hit a blistering .529 (37-70) while notching five doubles, three home runs - including career firsts for senior Cheniece Cason (
The Lady Bucs scored 10 runs in the third and posted 18 hits en route to a 17-1 thrashing over N.C. Central on Friday afternoon in game one.
Seven ETSU batters pounded out hits - including five recording three hits apiece - while five Lady Buccaneer hitters also drove multiple runs in the 16-run victory.
Junior newcomer Jessica Duncan (
ETSU wasted little time making some noise as the Lady Bucs plated four runs in the first to grab the early 4-0 lead. Senior Katy Jett (
After the Eagles scored one run in the bottom half of the inning, ETSU came back with two runs of its own in the second inning, and the Lady Bucs put the game out of reach with a 10-run third.
The Lady Bucs came up to the plate 15 times in the inning and sophomore outfielder Annie Martin (
ETSU scored its final run of the game in the fourth when Schneider scored on a throwing error by N.C. Central's third baseman.
Kristen Schooler suffered the loss (2-12) after allowing 16 runs in 2.2 innings.
After tying the school record with 18 hits in the opener, ETSU one-upped itself by belting a program record 19 hits and the Lady Bucs eased their way past the Eagles, 18-5.
Sophomore right-hander Shelby Morris picked up her second win in an ETSU uniform after allowing five runs on five hits in five innings of action. Meanwhile, Kayla McPeek suffered the loss for N.C. Central after issuing 14 runs (nine earned) on 14 hits in 2.2 innings.
Just like they did in game one, ETSU jumped out to blazing start by plating eight runs on seven hits in the opening inning. Katy Jett drove in three runs in two at-bats during the first inning as her double down the line in left scored the first run of the inning, and her two-run scoring single to left plated Cason and Mikayla Treadway (Unicoi, Tenn.) - putting the Lady Bucs ahead, 8-0.
The Lady Bucs struck for two more runs in the second when Hensley smashed her first collegiate homer in the second - and ETSU tacked on four more runs in the third - making it 14-0 before the Eagles did any damage. Cason fueled the charge in the third when her inside-the-park homer scored Treadway from first, and the Lady Bucs saw two more runs come in on a wild pitch and Hensley's RBI single to right.
N.C. Central finally broke through with a three-run third thanks to a two-run scoring triple off the bat of Michelle Ishida and an RBI single from Desanbra Franklin.
After both teams were held scoreless in the fourth, ETSU wrapped up the game with a five-run fifth to extend its lead to, 18-3. The Eagles touched the dish twice in their last at-bat, and the Lady Bucs capped off the sweep, 18-5.
The Lady Bucs complete conference play on Sunday, April 25, when ETSU travels to USC Upstate. First pitch of the doubleheader is slated for 1 p.m.

(Since this is a model car, I will only accept challenges from other models, toys, and "Non-Car" cars!)
For a while several years ago, TNN used to show Demolition Derbies once a week,and I sort of got hooked. Naturally one thing led to another and I ended up building my own Demolition Derby car, based very loosely on what I saw on TV. I knew nothing about the rules and regulations other than all glass had to be removed and the doors either welded or chained shut. I liked the look of the exhausts exiting through the hood, so of course my model had to have that!
this is my amt ertl 300c made to look like shes been in the airzona desert for quite some time until now only acceping challanges from other models since this is a model thanks for looking!
AMT 1965 Pontiac 2+2 model
No specifications listed.
All gone...
No factory options listed.
The first thing I had to do was make the brand new kit body look old and worn, so I heated it carefully in places and dented it. The model represents a car that hasn't seen any Derby action yet, but it has a few dents in the sides and at some point a kid has jumped on it's roof - there's a noticeable dip in it. All the glass is gone - windows, headlights, taillights, mirrors - everything! The body trim - door handles, moldings and badges, etc - are all gone as well, since you don't want sharp things like that getting knocked off and lying on the ground.I added a metal cage in the windshield opening in front of the driver for his protection. There are metal plates welded in over the gap between the door and quarter panels, sealing the doors closed.The car was painted mimicking the Interstate Batteries Pontiac NASCAR Stock Car as a tie-in with it's owner's business, Interstate Auto salvage, a local junkyard and even numbered it "18sr"! He painted it with no regard to overspray, so the lime green is visible on the top of the dashboard and package shelf and a little along the insides of the tops of the doors and quarter panel window areas. The original beige color is still very visible elsewhere in the gutted interior. As a final touch, notice the old school GTO "G-R-RRR" front license plate!
No modifications listed.

Trend Transition… Eyebrow-Free Faces?!
Back when she started out, Karen Elson had her eyebrows infamously off-ed at the suggestion of Steven Meisel. She catapulted to international fame fronting high-fashion campaigns and covers from W magazine to Italian Vogue.

In the latest Givenchy advert, model Adriana Lima shows off a pair of bleached brows and the Daily Mail is as always on the attack.

Perfect hair grooming: step 1, buy a proper hairbrush
Traditionally part of a gent's grooming kit, a proper hairbrush is a real treat for the hair and scalp and fits perfectly with our current 'trad but modern' zeitgeist.
Moustaches are here to stay!
Facial hair, like formal dressing, shows no signs of losing fashion popularity anytime soon. There's been a definite move though from full beard (though I don't see those disappearing either) to statment moustache. What started out as a novelty item worn only by the genuine fashion freak or professional showman has started to edge towards the mainstream. In terms of the former, Issue 2 of Buck magazine featured Frederick Blood-Royale from the New York band Ox.Eagle.Lion.Man (and ex-beau of Peaches Geldoff) resplendently moustachioed.

The price of oil inched up to near $97 a barrel on Thursday, as markets awaited the outcome of a European Central Bank policy meeting and a report on U.S. jobless claims.
By early afternoon in Europe, benchmark crude for March delivery was up 29 cents to $96.91 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 2 cents to finish at $96.62 a barrel on Wednesday, recovering from a low of $95.04 earlier in the session.
While the ECB is not expected to cut interest rates Thursday, attention will be focused on President Mario Draghi's post-meeting comments about the strength of the euro.
The euro has been gaining on the dollar over the past months, rising from around $1.23 in mid-August to over $1.35 this week. A strong euro hurts the export prospects of the 17 countries in the common currency zone and it also tends to result in higher oil prices by making crude priced in dollars cheaper — and a more enticing investment — for traders using currencies other than the greenback.
On Thursday, the euro was at $1.3562, up from $1.3520 late Wednesday in New York.
"Crude oil prices rebounded and climbed higher ahead of the crucial ECB meeting, as risk appetite increased," said a report from Sucden Financial Research in London. "In addition, the release of the weekly jobless claims figures could give some direction to the (dollar) and provide some momentum to the oil market."
Wednesday's oil price recovery was attributed mainly to a small-than-forecast rise in U.S. crude stocks, with analysts highlighting data from the Department of Energy showing a "strong decline" of U.S. crude imports from Saudi Arabia.
"On the four week average, they have fallen below 1 million barrels a day for the first time since 2011," said Olivier Jakob of Petromatrix in Switzerland. "The U.S. needs to import less crude due to the increase in its domestic production and our opinion remains that Saudi Arabia is cutting production and exports to prevent a global stock build that would come from a re-direction of the crude that it is not shipping to the U.S."
In London, Brent crude, used to price international varieties of oil, was up 90 cents to $117.63 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange.
In other energy futures trading on Nymex:
— Wholesale gasoline added 2.1 cents to $3.0607 a gallon.
— Natural gas advanced 3.1 cents to $3.449 per 1,000 cubic feet.
— Heating oil gained 1.59 cents to $3.2017 a gallon.

Street Preacher confronted by Police
A street preacher in England was told by police that it is a crime to say that homosexuality is a sin. It's interesting that Obama has just signed into law a bill which ads homosexuality to protected classes for "hate crimes" here in the USA — the Democrats slipped it into the Defense spending bill this week! [yes, you read that right … they put it into the Defense spending bill. They used the lives of our sons and daughters in the military as leverage to pass their pet legislation]
Why to the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, "Let us break their bans asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall He speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure."
Psalm 2: 1-5
No matter how much they legislate their immorality, no matter how much they try to revise history, no matter how much money they get, no matter how much they pour out their ideology in schools and on television, no matter how hard they try to convince us or to beat us into submission, no matter how many people they fine or send to jail for disagreeing with them, the fact is that the Bible still says that homosexuality is a sin. Sin. It always has, and it always will. It is outside of their power to change that.

Series Preview: Cubs v. Cardinals, June 17, 2013 – June 20, 2013
I can't decide if heading to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals is the most appropriate follow-up to what happened yesterday … or the worst possible follow-up.
By way of reminder, the Series Preview hooks you up with what you need to know about every series this year – streaks, broadcast information, pitchers, expected lineups, etc. That way, if you want to check only one place to get a sense about an upcoming series, or to plan ahead, you've got it. There's also some fun stuff, because fun stuff is fun.
We're Going Streaking
The Cubs won three in a row and took the series in New York against the Mets before, you know … losing yesterday.
The Cardinals haven't lost a series since April. That about sums it up. If you need more, they've got the best record in baseball. (EDIT: Ok, except that series that they just lost in Miami. Oopsie-doodle.)

Expected Starters and Lineups
These lineups are likely to be pretty close to what actually gets fielded, but you'll want to check each day's Pre-Gamin' post for the actual lineup.
Starters: Travis Wood (5-5, 2.65), Jeff Samardzija (3-7, 3.46), Edwin Jackson (3-8, 5.40), Scott Feldman (6-5, 3.05)
- Luis Valbuena, 3B

- Jon Jay, CF
- Pete Kozma, SS
- Pitcher
Hot or Not and Whom to Watch
Edwin Jackson has put together back-to-back great starts, which definitely qualifies as hot for him.
Nate Schierholtz got some love in the Bullets this morning, and I'll give him some more here. After a deep slump took his OPS down to .800 in late May, he's done this over his last 16 games: .362/.423/.766 with four homers, two triples, and three doubles.
Jon Jay is having his worst year with the Cardinals, and is hitting just .179/.264/.205 in his last 21 games.
Yadier Molina just keeps getting better offensively. It's actually ridiculous. Coming into his age 28 season, Molina had a career 82 OPS+, and just one season equal to 100. In the last three years, he went 124, 137 and, this year, 143. Ridiculous.
What a freaking great deal the Carlos Beltran contract turned out to be. The Cards got him for just $13 million each of 2012 and 2013, and his bat has generally outproduced what Albert Pujols has done with the Angels. Man I hate the Cardinals …
Series She-View
The Series She-View is one beautiful woman representing the Cubs taking on another (usually) beautiful woman representing the opponent. The Cubs' representative will change as the team's needs change – in other words, if the Cubs are winning, the rep will stay the same. But if the Cubs' performance calls for a change, someone new will step in. The opponent's representative will change from series to series, at my whim. But at least she'll probably be wearing the opponent's colors or have some connection to the team or something like that. It is immature, and the connection to baseball is tenuous at best. These things, I know.
This year, the Series She-View will live over at the Message Board. Here's your She-View for the Cardinals series.
Caption the Enemy
A new feature for the Series Preview this year – since folks on the Internet can't get enough of cracking wise about pictures, I thought it might be a fun addition to the Series Preview. I'll drop in a picture (hopefully one ripe for captioning), and you'll drop in your clever captions into the comments. Then, if there are good ones, we can meme-ify them for use down the road.
One of my favorite Cardinals pictures …

I can't explain this feeling, my best comparison is one day when I was 25 years old on an airplane coming home from London-- they served me a chicken dinner and I said to my husband, "I'm not going to eat meat anymore" and handed him my meal. For twelve years I didn't eat a single piece of meat or fish.
I don't think I'm necessarily wired differently from anyone else, but it surprises me how at certain times, I make these large decisions, and once they are made, I don't turn back, I just move forward.
But it's hard to trust. It's hard to believe what we are doing matters.
Lying In A Hammock At William Duffy's Farm In Pine Island, Minnesota
James Wright
Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year's horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.

Afghanistan suicide attack 'kills four' in Spin Boldak
Four people have been killed in a suicide attack in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar, officials say.
At least 15 other people were hurt when two suicide attackers struck in Spin Boldak, the district governor of the area told the BBC.
The attackers shot dead a guard at a meeting of tribal elders before detonating suicide vests.
Spin Boldak, close to the border with Pakistan, has seen numerous militant attacks in the past.
It is seen as a major smuggling route for weapons and an infiltration point for militants passing over the two nations' border.
The roof of the building in Spin Boldak was reported to have collapsed.
It is unclear how many people were inside at the time and there are fears the death toll could rise.

Admittedly I was expecting something like this:

so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"

Twilight is really no comparison to Harry Potter.
Can't believe how many people actually still see the Twilight saga. Isn't it obvious after 3 different directors for 3 parts means there is something wrong? Hopefully Tim Burton gets his hands on the the screenplay of Breaking Dawn and really turns the franchise around.
They saga really had potential but the screenplay and Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson stale acting performance throughout them spoilt the saga considerable.
"Computer games don't affect kids; I mean if Pac-Man affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in darkened rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive electronic music"
Whatever you might think of it Harry Potter is this generations equivalent of Lord of the Rings ,an epic tale that deepens and grows as it progresses. Twilight on the other hand is the literary equivalent of Tiger Beat magazine .
As for the Twilight movies how good can they really be if a frickin' TV show that being (The Vampire Diaries) on , of all places , the CW network is even better than them.

Accessory apartment ordinance a step in the right direction
One of the frequent complaints we hear about Jamestown is that the cost of real estate has made it difficult for members of many extended families to remain on the island.
Whether it is young adults who want to live in Jamestown after they have grown up, or senior citizens who may need some living assistance, the price of living here can be prohibitive. That's a real shame that people cannot afford to live in a place where they were raised and call home.
A proposed accessory apartment ordinance now before the Town Council may help to alleviate a small part of the problem. The accessory apartments allowed by the suggested ordinance would make affordable housing available for family members. Young adults could remain close to home while they get a start on life. It would also be possible for senior citizens to live near their grown children who may serve as vital caregivers.
The proposed ordinance describes an accessory apartment as a self-contained living unit that is attached to a single-family dwelling. The accessory apartment may only be occupied by a family member or caregiver. When the family member is no longer living in the accessory apartment, the property would lose its certification for such living quarters.
The Jamestown Town Council in 1995 voted to ban accessory apartments. Islanders were concerned that accessory apartments might depress local real estate values and change the character of the island.
That argument doesn't seem to be as important today. In the years since 1995, Conanicut Island became a hot market for second home buyers. Today, 20 to 25 percent of the houses in Jamestown are second homes. This has driven up the price of real estate. Jamestown has became a prime vacation spot but those people who are important to the day-to-day functioning of the community cannot live here.
We should not confuse "affordable housing" with housing that is affordable. The proposed accessory apartment ordinance does not help the town meet its obligations under the state affordable housing rules. The town will have to continue its efforts to build affordable housing units that meet the state and federal guidelines.
This proposed ordinance is a sensible strategy that helps the community create housing that is affordable. The ordinance provides extended family housing options that would preserve the diversity and stability of Jamestown.
The community should consider the proposed ordinance. Debate its merits at a public hearing. The ordinance is a good first step in helping make Jamestown affordable for many who love this island.
Let's keep Jamestowners in Jamestown.

Slash Trying To Put Axl Rose Feud To Rest?
It's a pretty universal idea that with the calendar about to flip over to a brand new year, thoughts of the last 365 days merge with hopes for the next. Slash has been doing some pondering of his own. In a recent Esquire magazine column titled "Slash: What I've Learned," there's an interesting series of quotes from the former Guns N' Roses guitarist — including some about his former band.
First off, he has some insights into his own existence. "I never want to draw attention to myself, but that's all I do" he says. "It's a constant quest to find that harmony, to connect with it, where everything that you want to come out of it comes out. Those moments are rare, but they're like drugs: Once you get going on it, you're constantly jonesing for it."
The topics range from women ("It's par for the course for me to find the one girl that is the most exciting, outspoken, and flamboyant — the most crazy. You just have to meet my wife'") to playing music ("There's a moment you arrive at … It's an otherworldly thing, like when a painter gets the right combination of colors together").
Other topics include drugs, guitars and — of course — Guns N Roses. "When I see footage of Guns N' Roses, I see that f–king hunger and attitude. You could not f–k with those five guys," he said. "It was just raw. It was this lean, hungry thing on its way up. It was as sincere as any rock 'n' roll that I've ever heard, and I'm proud of that."
But what of his old partner in crime, Axl Rose? "The split between Axl and I was a quiet one. But because there was so much attention on the breakup — and are we going to get back together? — it got built up into this monster that led to a kind of animosity that wasn't the focus for me. Neither one of us wants to be down each other's throats for no reason. At this point, I'm trying to put it to rest. So I try to avoid the subject." While that doesn't exactly spell reunion for next year's Rock Hall induction, it doesn't rule it out either!
Perhaps his path in life is best summed up by this quote: "Guitar is the best form of self-expression I know. Everything else, and I'm just sort of tripping around, trying to figure my way through life." Maybe that's why he is rarely seen without axe in hand!
To wrap things up, Slash so elegantly had this to say: "I don't know if that giraffe was trying to kiss me. But it was an experience. Have you ever seen a giraffe's tongue? It's about two feet long." Actually, we have no idea what he's on about there … but nonetheless, it is pretty amusing!

So I 'm wondering why my posts from yesterday was deleted?? I just asked a simple question about will this site ever get ranking lists. As in Most Rares, and Most Pet lvls. But for what ever reason it was deleted. And I asked for people opinions on things like, dont you think they need more epic pets in game and epic versions of existing pets, and what does everyone think about us being able to sell captured pets?
Please dont tell me this is going to be another worldofwarcraft.com's, where if we say even the slightest thing that you don't agree with or something that will make people think and then you have to take responsibility, it will be erased! The odd thing is my second comment was only to say the website is designed just fine and doesn't need any of the pet info tabs changed and yet that got erased too......hmmm! And I thought you had nothing to do with game design, so why would any of the above suggestions bother you anyway?
Well whatever, So what do you all think of the above suggestions?
