Intelligence, Human Capital, and Economic Growth: An Extreme Bounds Analysis
Human capital plays an important role in the theory of economic growth, but it has been difficult to measure this abstract concept. We survey the psychological literature on cross-cultural IQ tests, and conclude that modern intelligence tests are well-suited for measuring an important form of a nation's human capital. Using a new database compiled by Lynn and Vanhanen (2002), we show that national average IQ has a robust positive relationship with economic growth. Using a methodology derived from Sala-i-Martin (1997a), we show that in growth regressions that include only robust control variables, IQ is statistically significant in 99.7% of these 1330 regressions. A strong relationship persists even when OECD countries are excluded from the sample. Conditional on GDP per capita in 1960 and other control variables, a 1 point increase in a nation's average IQ is associated with a persistent 0.13% annual increase in GDP per capita

text: parking Inspector General Slams New Orleans Parking Enforcement By Eileen Fleming • Jul 22, 2015 The New Orleans Inspector General's office has issued a scathing report on the city's parking enforcement. It cited two officers who spent their shifts in coffee shops, using free wi-fi and their private cell phones while on duty. The report found that after the businesses complained, the officers issued tickets to the business' employees and customers. New Metered Parking Rules For Drivers With Handicap Tags By Janaya Williams • Oct 2, 2014 Pink Sherbet Photography / Flickr After today, New Orleans drivers with handicap tags and license plates will be able to park in metered parking spaces for up to three hours without paying. The City Council passed the new ordinance on Thursday. Disability activists say they had been seeking to change the parking laws for many years, but never made progress until threatening to sue the city for violating the Americans With Disabilities Act, NOLA.com/The Times-Picayune reports. German Town Separates Parking Spots By Gender By David Greene • Jul 15, 2012 A small town in southwest German has designated two parking spaces, "men only." They're two of the town's trickiest places to park. The mayor's response, guest host David Greene reports, is that it will attract tourists.

As investments go, they don't come any less sexy than gilts. Bonds backed by the government just aren't glamorous; without exposure to volatile stock markets or racy companies, there are no glittering returns.
As investments go, they don't come any less sexy than gilts. Bonds backed by the government just aren't glamorous; without exposure to volatile stock markets or racy companies, there are no glittering returns.
On the other hand, they're safe. The only way investors can lose their money is if the British government goes bust and defaults on its debts. But, despite such crises over the years as the three-day working week and the IMF intervention during the 1970s, the government has never failed to honour its obligations.
As a general rule, UK gilts carry the same low risk profile as cash, although they don't offer the same easy access in an emergency. An abbreviation of "gilt-edged" stock, they derive their name from a reputation as one of the safest investments around, which explains their appeal to pension funds.
After you pay a lump sum to buy a gilt holding, you receive a twice-yearly fixed dividend based on the gilt's face value. Your capital is also guaranteed, as long as you hold the gilt until maturity. For good measure, at extra cost, you can protect yourself against inflation by opting for index-linked gilts.
"In terms of safety, they are a few notches above blue chip company bonds," says Justin Modray, investment manager at independent financial adviser (IFA) Bestinvest. "But a good, actively managed corporate bond fund can get better results without a significantly higher risk."
Gilts' lack of dynamism may not appeal to many investors but their reliability earns them a place in some portfolios as a way to reduce risk, particularly if you have spicier investments in emerging markets, say, or Japan.
The annual income offered by a gilt would be its chief appeal, says Meera Patel, senior analyst at IFA Hargreaves Lansdown, yet the fierce competition from both savings accounts and mini cash individual savings accounts (ISAs) is hard to resist.
"Cash is king," says Ms Patel. "There are such competitive rates out there - Halifax offering 4.8 per cent, for example [on its fixed mini cash ISA]. And with interest rates having increased, you can expect things to heat up even more."
As an example of how gilts work, a £1,000 holding of Treasury stock 2010 at 6.5 per cent means that, in six years' time, you will get a £1,000 lump sum back from the government. Until then, you will receive £65 every 12 months as dividends (6.5 per cent of £1,000).
Yet you may not have to pay the gilt's cover price in order to buy it. Like other investments, government bonds can be traded once they have been issued, and the laws of supply and demand will decide their price. Much depends on how attractive the rate of interest is compared to offers available on other products; the length of time until redemption; and expectations of future interest rates, says Mr Modray.
"Gilt prices can change on a daily basis and many investors do buy [on the market rather than at issue]," he says. "Be aware that if you trade it ahead of its maturity, you could make a loss - or a gain, of course."
Using the example above and the possibility of earning 8 per cent on an investment elsewhere, the gilt's annual 6.5 per cent dividend no longer seems so attractive. To reflect this, the price would typically drop if you wanted to sell it, though it would continue to pay you £65 a year. But you wouldn't lose out if you held on to it until maturity.
Such complexity can be offputting: "barely 230 private investors turned up to buy at a recent gilt auction," says a spokeswoman for the Debt Management Office, an executive Treasury body that authorises new gilt issues.
However, gilts do offer some advantages. While you have to pay income tax on the dividend interest, any profit on the sale of a gilt is free of capital gains tax. And there is no stamp duty to pay when you sell.
If you feel a gilt investment might suit your portfolio, you can buy one from stockbrokers, high-street banks and via the Bank of England's website. Expect to pay commission (0.7 per cent via the Bank's brokerage service) and, if you buy through a stockbroker, an annual fee.
Alternatively, you could opt for a general fund that invests in gilts. The advantage of this is that you will be exposed to a wider number of gilts.
Over three years, the sector's average growth has been 12.1 per cent, compared to an 11.43 per cent fall in the UK Equities sector, says ratings agency Standard & Poor's. This is no surprise given the plunging stock markets during this time, but gilts were outpaced by corporate bond funds, which grew, on average, by 17.49 per cent.

All I did was put the girl and the boy elf in the playroom near the dollhouse I keep there for when my three nieces come over (since all I have are Superheroes, Ninjago guys, and Star Wars to offer them). I thought they'd just sit there and wait for Thanksgiving to come and go and then I'd get them out and start using them as Santa's informants.
I went upstairs to check on the boys, and I found some photos and other things that these naughty Elves left for me to see. A scrapbook of pop-culture memes and pics, etc to let me know they are not going to just sit on a shelf and wait for something to happen. I was wondering why my ipad kept ending up in the playroom. I kept blaming it on the boys when really, it was these naughty guys. Anyways, I thought I'd share my findings with you...

Who We Are
South Hamilton Animal Alliance is a non-profit organization.
The goal of the South Hamilton Animal Alliance is to decrease the number of stray and feral animals by instituting two programs: a Trap-Neuter-Release (TNR) program for feral cats, and an adoption program for some of these strays into loving, forever homes.
Within the TNR program, stray cats are captured humanely with a live trap. They are taken to the animal hospital for surgical sterilization, administered a rabies vaccine as required by law, given any additional medical care deemed necessary by the doctor, and released back to their familiar habitat to live their lives, offspring free. By releasing fixed cats back into their environment, we are not only halting the production of kittens, we are also 'vaccinating' the street from an influx of new, unfixed cats. If we were to round up all these cats and kill them, new unfixed cats quickly move into the territory, and we never break the cycle of unwanted litters being created, males fighting, howling late into the night, and other problems unfixed cats tend to create. By releasing fixed cats already living in town, they take up food resources and guard the territory from new unfixed cats. The TNR program is much better received by the public. Neighbors are more likely to support a feral release program than a round-up for killing the cats.
Within the Adoption program, all dogs and cats over 4 months of age will be spayed or neutered prior to adoption. A spay/neuter cash deposit will be required of any animal adopted out prior to being surgically altered. All dogs over the age of one year will be Heartworm tested, and all cats will be tested for Leukemia and FIV. All dogs and cats will be vaccinated for distemper and rabies, dewormed, given any additional medical care deemed necessary by the doctor, and given an identification tag prior to adoption.
Adopting a friend
To adopt one of our homeless huggables, an adoption application must be filled out and approved. A copy of our adoption application is available by email, fax, or on premises. A reasonable adoption fee is charged in order to cover the cost of medical care prior to adoption, as well as to ensure that the adopting family is sincerely interested in the pet's best interest. The adoption fee is non-refundable should the pet be returned to our facilities, as we use the money to help care for other homeless pets. Please call before making a visit, just in case the pet you have interest in has been adopted, or is in a foster home. Adoption fees : Dogs and Puppies $150-$250 Cats and kittens: $55 Adoption of 2 adult cats to live together: $78 *Some fees may be higher or lower, depending on the animal, and the amount of medical care needed prior to adoption. All fees are as listed above unless otherwise noted. ** Remember, these fees include sterilization fees, vaccines, and dewormings, quite a bargain when you think about it.
Come Visit Us!
Housing for our pets is donated by the Jewell Animal Hospital, 548 Main Street, Route 69, in Jewell, Iowa. Regular visiting hours are Monday, Thursday and Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm. Wednesday 8:30 am to 6:00pm, and Saturday 9:00am to Noon. The hospital is closed from noon to 1:00 during the weekdays for lunch. We can arrange to have someone there at other times (lunch, evenings, or weekends) for potential families to meet with our homeless huggables.

David Letterman Announces He's Retiring From The Late Show
David Letterman is saying goodbye to "The Late Show." The late night host announced he's retiring in 2015 during a taping for his show on Thursday.
Letterman told the audience, "The man who owns this network, Leslie Moonves, he and I have had a relationship for years and years and years, and we have had this conversation in the past, and we agreed that we would work together on this circumstance and the timing of this circumstance. And I phoned him just before the program, and I said 'Leslie, it's been great, you've been great, and the network has been great, but I'm retiring.'"
He added, "I just want to reiterate my thanks for the support from the network, all of the people who have worked here, all of the people in the theater, all the people on the staff, everybody at home, thank you very much. What this means now, is that Paul [Shaffer] and I can be married."
Letterman noted that he doesn't have an exact timetable, but said that it will be "sometime in the not too distant future, 2015 for the love of God, in fact, Paul and I will be wrapping things up." The legendary talk show host then received a standing ovation.
Letterman has hosted the "Late Show" for the past 20 years, and before that, he served as the host of "Late Night" for a decade. Are you sad Letterman is retiring?

This newspaper is printed on recycled newsprint The Knights of the Klu Klux Klan are planning a June I recruiting rally in New Braunfels, the city manager told councilmembers Monday night. Mike Shands said he received a written request from Michael Lowe, KKK state director from Waco, to reserve either the Plaza Bandstand or Comal County Courthouse steps for the nighttime rally. Lowe also talked to city officials Monday about the legal ramifications of denying his request. "Legally, [the city is] up a big, big creek without a paddle," Shands said. City Councilmembers will decide KKK state director whether or not to approve his requestor suggest an alternative location at the May 13 meeting.

A zip line and a rope swing have been added at the deeper end. The zip line appears to be the favorite so far. "I like the zip line best," said 10-year-old Aleisha Moon. "It's cool." "(Swimmers) will use tire zip line all day long," said lifeguard Liz Grows. "I think it's because it's like James Bond. The rope swing is kind of scary for some of them I think." There is also a zero-depth wading pool behind the bathhouse. This pool also has a log slide and structures shaped like a frog, a turtle and a mushroom that squirt water. Neffendorf said the renovations, which began in December and will be complete once a final play structure is added on the side of the pools, were an attempt to make the parte more like it was originally. I "We were trying to bring some (the original) fort to the pool, t some more attractions to make l ing for entire families and all ages," said Neffendorf.

Modern-day Amelia Earhart inspires students By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer Dreams come true if you keep pursing them and believe in yourself. That was the message Linda Finch brought to a fourth grade class at Bulverde Elementary on Monday as she told them about the dream she is pursuing. Finch, a pilot from San Antonio, has begun a project dubbed "World Flight 1997." The project entails Finch recreating the around-the-world flight of Amelia Earhart in a similar plane. She will drop a wreath over Howland Island, where Earhart disappeared. Finch will embark on her flight from Oakland, CA, on March 17,1997, and was in Lori Balcar's class to share her dream, with the students. Finch talked with the students about Earhait's life. Sire told them stories about her personal life, as well as her dreams. She said Earhart wanted to make women pilots a common sight. She also wanted to show people what could be accomplished by believing in yourself. "That was very important for her. that anyone could do any job they put their minds to," said Finch. "I was very amazed by how she taught so many people to reach beyond their limits." Finch told students a big part of the project is to raise awareness about Earhart and her work. She said most people only remember that she attempted the flight and disappeared while in route. "They don't know much about Finch her life, and her life was wonderful. That's what we want people to learn about," she said. Finch listened to short essays about their dreams, ranging from being a teacher to being the president to being a track star. One girl even wants to be a doctor to find a cure for her brother's skin disorder. Finch told them dreams are never easy to accomplish. She said they have to continuously work at them. Finch's visit to Balcar's class came after the students spent time studying aviation, Earhart, persuasive writing, and believing in . yourself. The students wrote letters to Finch, and she agreed to come. 'They were in awe when they found out," said Balcar. "They said, 'gosh it really works.'" In addition to the visit, the students were invited to come see and climb in the plane after she returns from her flight. "This is more learning than any textbook could supply," said Principal Linda Swanson. The class also presented Finch with a t-shirt and cap to wear on her flight and a PTA check to defray costs. The students also made a wreath that they gave to Finch, and asked her to drop it with hers over Howland Island. Finch said she would. Garden Ridge well pays dividends By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer Herald-Zeitung photo by MICHAEL DARNALL They don't make 'em like that any more Jimmy Doran glances at a 1958 Impala at the swap mast and car show that attracted hundreds of visitors to the Comal County Fairgrounds over the weekend. The annual avant la sponsored by the New Braunfels Rotary Club and the New Braunfels Area Car Club. GARDEN RIDGE — Seven months after its second water well was installed, Garden Ridge Mayor Jay P. Minikin said the well is working "superbly." "The city is extremely fortunate that we drilled the second well," Minikin said. "It's the insurance policy we have been looking for." The 340-foot Well #2 was put into operation last October. The reason Well #2 was drilled was to provide an adequate backup for Well #1, which was put into operation in 1987 and is located IOO feet from Well #2. Both wells pump 1,200 gallons of water per minute and are located on a one acre plot on FM 2252. Minikin said it did not take long for Well #2 to prove its worth to both the city and its residents. Three months after Well #2 was installed, the motor on Well #1 burned out. "We would have been up a creek without the alternative well source in the city," Mil-likin said. "We had to pull the entire pump assembly system out. After a routine maintenance check on the turbine pump, we found excessive calcium deposits.. .It never had been checked before for any routine maintenance." At least this time the city of Garden Ridge was prepared for the emergency. Three years ago, when Minikin was in his first term as mayor, the motor on Well #1 burned out, leaving the city in a very precarious position. "We were lucky to find a replacement motor with two-thirds less horsepower in San Antonio, which allowed us to limp along until we had the motor on Well #I rewired," Minikin said. "We had to wait nine to 12 months to get the minor rewired. Not only did we not have a backup motor, but it took us a couple of weeks to get the smaller motor." The city is looking for new improvements to its water system. "We are in the process of constructing our 318,000 gallon ground storage tank," Minikin said. "Our master plan calls for a 300,000 gallon ground storage tank and our initial cost estimates for it were at $161,000. But I looked into it and saw that we could get 318,000 gallons at the same price." Minikin said he would run his plan by the city's water commission and the council at its May meeting. If everything goes as planned, Minikin said he hoped to go out for bids "in a minimum of two weeks."Tribute paid to journalist who died in Bosnia crash. See Opinion, Page 4. ;

Mother of 3, welcomed a new baby girl July 2011
I feel like Farrah needs to step up to the plate a bit. I think she's spoiled and that hasn't stoppped just because she had a baby. Her parents still baby her. They may tell her they don't think she should go out or drive a total of 4hours (was it?) just to show some guy she's caught him cheating on her, but then they agree to watch the baby.
Amber.... Why hasn't anyone said ANYTHING about the fact that Amber physically assaulted her fiance??!~?~ Seriously, if a HE. EVER. did that to her, there would be soooooo many issues.
The guy is awesome. Verbal and emotional abuse in every scene, and he still goes back to pick her up from her dads. If this was a woman, people would be all up in arms about how she needs to leave this guy. Amber puts him down constantly. And WHO deserves that?!
I think Catelyn's mom and step dad only wanted her to keep the baby so she could get benefits- WIC, foodstamps, etc. They also often seem high in the tapings. Talk about toxic people.

London, Apr 3 (ANI): Princess Eugenie has twice broken her New Year's resolution to give up smoking, after she was seen puffing away during her Sydney trip.
Eugenie, 19, was seen smoking while she was out shopping with friends during a gap year trip to Australia.
The younger daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, was again spotted puffing away while she was relaxing at a cafe.
The Royal Princess, who is staying with her aunt Jane Luedecke, her mother's older sister, has been vowing to give up smoking for the past two years.
"She is usually careful not to smoke in public," the Daily Express quoted a friend as saying. (ANI)

In brief: Fireplace blamed for duplex blaze
Mon., Dec. 26, 2011, midnight
Two families escaped a Christmas morning fire in northeast Spokane duplex that lacked working smoke detectors.
Spokane firefighters contained the fire to the attic of one side of the duplex, but both the families in both units were displaced due to damage to utilities, according to a news release from the Spokane Fire Department.
"Both families were incredibly fortunate as there were no working smoke detectors in the building," Assistant Spokane Fire Chief Brian Schaeffer said in the release.
The fire was accidental, caused by a faulty fireplace, Schaeffer said.
Twenty-six firefighters responded to the fire at 5:33 a.m. at 823 E. Crown Ave. They found smoke showing from the attic and first floor, and flames from the roof of the one-story duplex.
An adult male occupant of the unit on fire had been awoken by a neighbor and was outside the home.
An adult male and his son living in the adjacent unit were quickly located and brought outside by firefighters.
The fire was contained within an hour of firefighters arriving, Schaeffer said. No one was injured.
Staff report
Two killed in single-car crash
Autopsies will be performed this week on two men who died in a single-vehicle accident Saturday morning west of Cheney.
The men, whose identities have not been released, were killed when the speeding pickup truck left a straight section of Salnave Road, rolled at least four times and came to rest about 344 feet out in a wheat field, the Spokane County Sheriff's Office said.
The 28-year-old driver was a Cheney resident. His 30-year-old passenger was from Spokane. The men were found dead, still in their seat belts, inside a 2004 Ford F-150 about 6:30 a.m.
The truck was traveling an estimated 90 mph – twice the speed limit – just east of Granite Lake Road, about 2 1/2 miles west of Cheney, the Sheriff's Office said.

Having a porch, patio or deck with a spa to relax and unwind on after a long day's work is important. A few of the features your outdoor space can have to make it more peaceful are included here. These items include your spa, comfortable lawn chairs, a privacy screen or fence, a fan, and calming decorations, like plants, candles, or small water fountains, to make the most of your property.
The Spa
A spa is a great feature to include in a relaxing outdoor design for its therapeutic qualities and social benefits. As the focal point of a party, a hot tub can promote connectivity and togetherness. Spas come in many different sizes and designs and can be modified to complement any outdoor or indoor space according to owner preference.
Your Outdoor Space
Comfortable lawn chairs add a place to lounge outside of a water recreation area, and the right chairs can be great for reading, eating, or chatting with friends late into the night. Choosing the plants that go into your outdoor space can be difficult but also rewarding. Determine the time of year you are most likely to use your outdoor space and include plants that will bloom around those times, or consider changing out your plant design with the seasons. Changing the plants throughout the year is a fun way to update the feel of an outdoor design without doing a complete makeover.
The sound of a small water fountain may be very soothing and provide the perfect backdrop for relaxing in chairs, around a table, or in a spa. A privacy fence ensures the space is your own piece of heaven. Small appliances and additions like fans and candles can bring depth to the atmosphere throughout the year and make the space a place that is truly relaxing and enjoyable.
Having a spa cover that won't saturate or break is a great way to insure you'll go on using your private retreat. Since all traditional foam filled spa covers eventually end up that way, you'll need to get something remarkably different like the SpaCap. Good news, every SpaCap is covered with Sunbrella brand marine fabric so it can match your decor and stay looking fantastic for years to come.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Had a party cops got called because people were outside making noise apparently. Cops stopped at my house got permission to search. They found 2 minors in my house that admitted to drinking. I am of legal drinking age and didn't provide anybody with any alcohol. I got charged with Disturbing the Peace. What will I get out of this?
Hire a criminal defense attorney in your area. When you go to court on your ticket, the Proecutor will tell you what the possible pentalites are if convicted.Ask a similar question
Disturbing the Peace is a Class III misdemeanor, which means that you are facing up to three months, a $500 fine or both. The minimum sentence is nothing. Hire a criminal defense attorney if possible or ask for a public defender. Your actual sentence (if convicted) will be based on your record and the specific facts of your case.
I am a licensed attorney in the state of Nebraska. However, the advice I give here is not to be taken as legal advice. It is merely my opinion based on the limited information given. In order to assure that your legal rights are being properly represented I would always recommend going in for a consultation with an attorney to explain your case in detail and answer any questions the attorney might have.Ask a similar question
