text: Corruption Alexander Tabarrok December 2005 • Corruption is common around the world. Corruption includes bribes, kickbacks, nepotism, siphoning of revenue etc. • Corruption can occur at the highest levels of government as in the Phillipines which Marcos ran like a monarchy or at the lowest levels as when a government official needs to be bribed to do his job. • Corruption aint just something that happens to poor countries. – Between 1990 and 2002 federal prosecutors convicted more than 10,000 US government officials of corruption. – Corruption is more common in developing countries but not limited to developing countries.

It's not always clear which is cause and which effect – probably both – more on this in a later slide. Note that the more corrupt countries are political instable. The causal relationship could go either way. Corruption in the United States • In 2003 USA Today (Dec. 18, 2003) had this to say about former Illinois governor Mark Ryan: "The indictment alleges that Ryan, a Republican, awarded lucrative government contracts and leases to family and associates; accepted cash payments, vacations and gifts from state contractors, and lied to FBI agents in an effort to obstruct the investigation. The indictment alleges the acts spanned his career as secretary of state and governor. "Basically, the state of Illinois was for sale to family and friends," U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said…." • And here is the Associated Press (Nov. 28, 2005) on Representative Randy Cunnigham: "Rep. Randy "Duke" Cunningham tearfully resigned Monday after pleading guilty to bribery and admitting he took $2.4 million to steer defense contracts to conspirators using his leadership position on a congressional subcommittee." Most and Least Corrupt States in the United States (as measured by Federal convictions per capita, 1976-2002) Glaeser and Saks (2005) in Global Corruption Report 2005. Problem of Reverse Causality • Problem of reverse-causality. Could a poor economy generate corruption? Yes. Suppose, for example, that: 1. The efficiency of the bureaucracy rises with government wages. This could occur, for example, because you have to pay government workers high relative wages to get them to say no to corruption. 2. Poor countries have particulary hard times of keeping government wages high relative to corrupt alternatives. 3. Then as a country gets richer it can pay higher government wages and becomes less corrupt but it is better economic conditions that create higher wages not the reverse. • • • • Mauro thus introduces Ethno-linguistic fractionalization as an instrument. Ethno-linguistic fractionalization measures how diverse a country is in terms of language – probability that two randomly chosen citizens will speak different language. Idea is that ethno-linguistic fractionalization causes corruption but is not itself caused by economic growth. Thus if ethno-linguistic fractionalization can be shown to reduce growth rates then this is evidence that corruption causes lower growth and this evidence is free of reverse causality. Does ethno-linguistic fractionalization cause corruption? Yes – it is correlated and recall the SV argument that competitive serial corruption is the worse kind and this is the kind of corruption that ethno-linguistic fractionalization is likely to support. Does ethno-linguistic fractionalization reduce growth? Yes, thus this suggests that there is some link between corruption and reduced growth. Problem of Reverse Causality 2 • Using data from the United States Glaeser and Saks (2004) show that states which are richer and better educated (and hence better monitors of the government) have less corruption. States which are more homogeneous also have less corruption (hetreogenity increases divisiveness ala Olson and may promote corruption as a form of pie dividing, also less common goals more power centers in hetereogeneous societies). – To control for the possibility of reverse causality Glaeser and Saks show that corruption in the 1990s is lower in states that had high education levels in the 1920s and high per capita income in the 1940s • The idea is that education in the 1920s could have an effect on corruption today because it is correlated with education today but education in the 1920s cannot be affected by corruption today. (Same with per capita income in the 40s) • • • Glaeser and Saks find weak evidence that corruption lowers state economic growth. Thus a strong causal effect appears to run from growth, especially in the form of higher income and better education, to less corruption but the effect of corruption on growth is relatively weak. We should be careful about drawing too many conclusions about the rest of the world from studies of the United States. As we will discuss later in the United States we have corruption of politics by economics elsewhere we have corruption of economics by politics which is much more serious. Measuring Corruption: Micro Studies • • In Uganda, Reinikka and Svensson (2004) compared the amount of money given out to schools with money received and found that almost 90% of the money disappeared in the transfer – most of the money went to government officials and politicians. In Indonesia the government subsidized rice to be given to the poor. Olken (2005) compared administrative data on the rice given out with survey data on the rice received. He found that on average there was an 18% loss (interestingly most of the loss came from a few districts with ethnically heterogeneous populations and low population densities – Why?) – • In the United States corruption is more difficult to document. Obviously, we see corruption when corrupt officials are caught. It is very difficult, however, to draw a direct connection between dollar donations and votes once one controls for ideology and district characteristics. – • Taking into account the loss from corruption and the cost of taxation may make the program welfare reducing instead of welfare enhancing. Hence corruption can make redistribution very difficult. It is illegal to buy votes but it is not illegal to buy candidates! Indirect evidence,however, is suggestive that many things matter other than votes. For example, in May of 2001 the political world was rocked when Jim Jeffords switched parties from Republican to Independent thereby throwing the Senate from the Republicans to the Democrats. As the switch became known the stock market returns of those firms that had given heavily to Republicans fell significantly relative to those firms that had given to Democrats. Why Corruption is Bad • Corruption reduces wealth because it acts as a tax on productive activity. Government spending is often wasteful but the corruption tax has zero offsetting beneficial expenditures. • The tax is highest in the case of serial competitive competition when the double monopoly problem can create severe welfare losses. • Corruption encourages government control over the economy. • Corruption distorts the direction of economic activity (recall our discussion of Olson) encouraging people to exit the productive areas of the economy and enter the corruption sector. Types of Corruption 1 Corruption with Theft vs. Corruption w/out Theft (Shleifer and Vishny, 1993) • Corruption without Theft – There is a government bureau responsible for issuing a passport, license, permit etc. – There is an official cost. – In corruption without theft the official price must be paid no matter what. – Thus, for corruption without theft the total price is always higher than the official price. • Corruption with Theft – The bureau accepts a bribe and issues the permit but does not record the transaction. In this case the total price may be, but is not necessarily, below the official price. Analysis • • Buyers prefer corruption with theft because of the possibility of lower prices. Could corruption with theft be welfare enhancing? Partial effect is good but total effect could be very bad. – – – – – – • Corruption with theft unites briber and bribee in secrecy against the government so it is difficult to police. Corruption with theft is self-reinforcing. Every corrupt firm makes it more difficult for other corrupt firms to operate. Thus corruption with theft is likely to grow. Corruption with theft pits government against briber and bribee. Since it raises price, corruption without theft, tends to pit briber against bribee. Corruption without theft, therefore, has some natural limits. Total effect of corruption with theft could be worse even when partial effect is beneficial. Hence S. and V. suggest "the first step to reduce corruption should be to create an accounting system that prevents theft from government." Types of Corruption Monopoly Corruption A monopolist controls corruption at all levels. • • • Kingdoms Marcos's Phillipines Communist dictatorships. Serial Corruption More than one government or part of government each of which must be paid. • Post communist Russia. • Some African countries without strong government. Leads to double-monopoly problem – toll booth analogy. Free Entry makes the situation worse. Competitive Corruption There is more than one seller of favors. Parallel Competition Multiple officials each of whom can provide the same good. • The United States – sometimes. • Federalism Leads to Bertrand competition. Free entry makes the situation better. • Competitive corruption can be a lot worse than monopoly corruption, especially serial competitive corruption. – Thus, anarchic government can be worse than strong unitary government. • What accounts for which societies have which types of corruption? – Open question! Here are some ideas. – Monopoly corruption needs to be enforced – easier in small, homogeneous society with few rulers. Harder in societies where other natural bases of support exist such as tribes, religious groups etc. – Autocratic regimes can enforce monopoly corruption. Huntington (1968) has argued that corruption increases with democracy. Makes sense if democracy comes with a weak regime and we are talking about a shift from monopoly to serial corruption. • Appropriate policy: Create competition in the provision of government goods while intensively monitoring theft. • • • • Corruption increases the incentive to create welfare reducing monopolies! The theory is supported in the data, corrupt countries have greater regulation of entry and less free trade. In the free-market democracies we tend to think of corruption as corruption of politics by economics. But in many corrupt countries what we are really talking about is corruption of economics by politics. Interesting implication of the bribe model: What happens when the official price rises? $ B ribes O fficial P is like MC Q P ermits D MR For a Soviet firm o r a bu re aucracy t hat must p ay the price it charge s to a central bu reau the p rice is like a M C.

Private rent seeking such as crime will go for where the money is, it will go after existing stocks of wealth. Quoting MSV "Bandits steal crops, lawyers sue deep-pocket corporations, and armies invade rich countries." In contast public rent seeking will to a larger extent go after innovation. Innovation by definition is new and often requires permission, permits, licenses, import quotes and so on. Innovators have demand for these government provided goods. Established firms do not need so many of these goods since they have bought them already. In addition, the innovators are typically not part of the existing elite. The established producers are insiders and will likely want to prevent the innovators from disrupting their own good life. Innovators often have risky projects which makes them especially vulnerable to rent-seeking. If the project is succesful the government expropriates. If it is unsuccesful the innovator bears the loss. Tails I win, heads you lose. Thus corruption/rent-seeking can be particulary bad for innovators. Corruption/Rent-Seeking/Depredation and the Self-Fulfilling Bad Equilibrium From Murphy, Shleifer and Vishny (1993). • Consider the following model. There are three activities. 1. Produce a cash-crop, i.e. produce a crop for market sale – this pays alpha. 2. Subsistence production – i.e. product for your own family only or produce a crop that will feed you but has negligible market value (e.g. potoatoes) – pays gamma. 3. Rent-seek, ie. tax or steal from the producers of the cash-crop. You cannot rent-seek from subsistence farmers. • • Note that if more and more people choose rent-seeking then the returns to the cash-crop will fall. What can happen in this model? n is the number of rent-seekers. Case 1: Property Rights are Well Protected Case 2: Property Rights are Poorly Protected Case 3: Multiple Equilibria Well Protected Property Rights Multiple Equilibria Poorly Protected Property Rights

|RE: Making donations to the project
|Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:34:15 GMT
I thought that the previous discussion (on this list, not just ooo-users) arrived at the following: 1. ASF does not accept donations that have strings on how the funds are used. 2. The means for individuals to make contributions to ASF in honor of the support for OpenOffice.org is to use the ASF donation page and PayPal and add a comment that the contribution is inspired by OpenOffice.org being at Apache (or any other factor). This does not carry any targeting of the donation, but it informs ASF of what action on its part has inspired the contribution. With regard to targeted activities, I thought it was made clear that any other entities that accept donations must remain external to ASF and must not cause confusion with regard to ASF association and how the ADF AOOo operates in any manner. That effectively ended the previous discussion, because such arrangements are not our business here (so long as there is no serious confusion, of course). THE CURRENT CONVERSATION Now, a factor in the current conversation is the fact that there are pages on the current OpenOffice.org site that (1) direct contributions to Team OpenOffice.org and (2) are used by Team OpenOffice.org in acknowledging contributions to Team OpenOffice.org as if they are contributions to OpenOffice.org. This particular approach is clearly unacceptable going forward - the coupling is too close and confusing. ASF is not going to recommend a primary recipient for donations other than itself. This matters for both legal and policy reasons, as I understand it. It seems more appropriate for a page on the openoffice.org web site to feature how to contribute to ASF and how such contributions are used. That page or a companion could also link to other entities that support OpenOffice.org development and promotion and that accept donations. However, there is the issue of vetting the authenticity of such activities and the manner in which they account for how received donations are employed. The likely situation is that ASF would place a strong and prominent disclaimer that the list is not comprehensive, ASF is not affiliated with those other entities in any way, and that ASF is not responsible in any way for how donations are solicited and how received funds are managed and disbursed by other entities. I don't see how ASF can go any farther than that, and Apache AOOo should stay within those boundaries. I suspect it would also be appropriate to have a link to a place for reporting any concerns about a particular link as well as recommendations that a link be added/removed. Because of the rather sensitive nature of such matters, ooo-private@ i.a.o might be a better destination, if not some preferable @a.o recipient. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Ian Lynch [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 02:41 To: email@example.com; firstname.lastname@example.com Subject: Re: Making donations to the project On 19 October 2011 10:21, FR web forum <email@example.com> wrote: > I have initiated this discussion on users list last month: > > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-ooo-users/201109.mbox/browser > > No real answer was given to me > Maybe there isn't an answer as such.

Jon Rauch has gotten a lot of credit for how well he has pitched lately. In his last 29 games, he has a 0.86 ERA along with a 0.571 WHIP and has been hands down the most reliable pitcher in the bullpen. But to date there has been very little speculation on if the Mets will try to re-sign Rauch for the 2013 season. I was a vocal critic of the decision to sign Rauch to a $3.5 million deal for this season and he is still unlikely to be worth the contract, at least by FanGraphs dollar values. Currently, Rauch has earned $2.3 million according to FanGraphs and is likely to have earned over $2.5 million by the end of the season. For a pitcher who earned negative dollars in 2011, this has been a nice comeback season for Rauch and whether or not you think the Mets should look to re-sign him, no one can deny that it is a reasonable question to ask. Rauch had consistently lost velocity on his fastball, with his average heater down to 89.5 last year. In April, it looked like the trend wa...

ILMOR RACING ENGINES DONATE $1000.00 TO POLE WINNER'S CHARITY OF CHOICE THROUGH PRI ALL-STARS KARTING CLASSIC "Racing for Kids and Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America" Ilmor Racing Engines in conjunction with the Snap-on Stars of ...
"Racing for Kids and Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America"
Ilmor Racing Engines in conjunction with the Snap-on Stars of Karting Performance Racing Industry All-Stars Karting Classic are pleased to donate $500 to two selected charities of choice to the Karter and Masters division pole winners from the December 11th All-Stars Karting Classic.
Receiving a donation check from Joel Miller and Ilmor Racing Engines will be the Racing for Kids charity while the Crohns and Colitis Foundation of America will receive the same amount from Scott Speed.
Speed out qualified 22 other drivers including eventual race winner Jay Howard and Indy 500 champions Buddy Rice and Dan Wheldon. The Red Bull pilot in the NASCAR Sprint Car Series turned a solid 17.672 second lap in qualifying to claim the pole by .026. Lapped traffic came into play in the main event and Speed eventually crossed the line in P3 to stand on the podium in Orlando.
Miller had a little bit tougher challenge taking the pole position ahead of 29 fellow competitors. Progressing through the heat race, Miller then claimed the 40 lap main event to transfer to the tail of the Masters class. The talented Californian charged through the field passing karts at an alarming rate to finish 14th in his second 40 lap main event of the weekend.
Ilmor Racing Engines has years of experience in motorsports, from the Indianapolis 500 to offshore powerboat racing. Ilmor has been preparing powerplants since 1984 and has proven themselves with multiple victories and championships along the way. Competing in IndyCar, Stock Car, Midget and Baja, Ilmor Racing Engines now enters the karting market with their C-Flex Billet Motor Mount. Designed to fit most current kart race motors, the C-Flex is precision machined from high strength aluminum and its clear anodized finish helps prevent corrosion. Photos of the C-Flex Billet Motor Mount can be seen online at www.Ilmor.com
Series President Paul Zalud was proud to see Ilmor be a part of the event. "To have a company with the racing heritage of Ilmor step up to support this event, and driver-chosen charities is a great source of pride for us. We are happy that both Joel and Scott chose the charities that they did as they both are serve very valuable purposes in today's world."
Claiming the Masters division victory was IndyCar Series driver Jay Howard as he swept the heat race and main event of the evening. Coming home second was Rahal Letterman Racing driver Joey Hand with Scott Speed scoring a sold third place result.
The Snap-on Stars of Karting Series is now complete for 2008 and will begin to shift its focus to the 2009 racing season. Several announcements will be forthcoming in regards to class structure, weekend event format and exciting series news.

From 2006-10, he served as co-director of Sabbaths of Hope, a grant-funded project with Mental Health America of the Heartland, which empowers faith leaders to address the stigma of depression and inequitable access to treatment. He concurrently directed another disparities initiative ultimately incorporated as MetroCARE, a referral network of volunteer healthcare providers for low income uninsured persons.
Dr. Rosell provides ethics consultation for the University of Kansas Hospital, where he co-chairs the Hospital Ethics Committee and directs the Ethics Consultation Service. He co-founded at Saint Luke's the Schwartz Center Rounds, Human Values Rounds (for internal medicine residents), and Compassionate Caregiver Rounds, serving in a facilitator role for nearly a decade.

Ethics articles by Tarris Rosell are found in numerous periodicals, both print and electronic. He contributed a chapter to the 2008 Cambridge University publication, Complex Ethics Consultation: Cases that Haunt Us, and another to a 2011 publication by Johns Hopkins University Press, Controversial Bodies, on the ethics of plastinated bodies exhibition. Several co-authored research articles are forthcoming in 2015, and another book chapter, also.
Terry lives in the Kansas City area with his life partner, the Reverend Dr. Ruth Rosell. They have four adult children and a son-in-law. When not engaged in ethics work, Terry (mostly) enjoys working on a long-term rehab project on a rural Kansas lake property—to which he hopes someday to retire with Ruth, and there to live the life of a grandfather-artist.

In that capacity she has served on the Oversight Committee for HHS' National Pain Strategy Report, to be published in 2015. Christopher has consulted with many organizations, including the Centers for Disease Control, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, AARP and others to promote pain and palliative care as a public health issue.

That's why my level almost never leaves the truck on a as-is remodel job. To make things look and work right, they have to match what's there, even if it's not perfectly level or perfectly plumb. If later on someone wants to correct the original condition, then my work will follow it all back into it's proper place. Until then it looks as good as the rest does and it works fine- what more can you want? OCD (or CDO ) is good for us to a degree, but when wanting perfection blinds us to the real-world conditions we're working with it goes against us
The idea is not to do the job perfectly by your standards, but to give the customer what is going to be best for them without compromising quality. A perfectly level or plumb addition or renovation on a out-of-level or out-of-plumb house is going to look bad and it's not going to sell your next job; instead it's going to make you look bad no matter how perfect your work was. Go with what's there and you won't go wrong- if it's so bad that you can't do that, then you need to fix the other problem first or walk away from that job before it bites you in the butt.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Rita struck in the dead of night Sept. 24, 2005, shrouded in darkness that would perpetuate in Southeast Texas for what felt like an eternity when hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses went lights-out.
BPD has scheduled its annual Trunk or Treat for Saturday, Oct. 31, 2015, at the Beaumont Civic Center, 701 Main Street, Beaumont, from 3-5 p.m.
Thursday, Sept. 24, 2015 at 10:38 a.m., police officers responded to a disturbance at Candyland Auto Sales, 1163 S. 11th St. in Beaumont. The caller told dispatchers that Robert Charles Broussard was in the office throwing things and behaving irrationally.
At approximately 10:40 a.m. on Thursday, September 24, 2015, the Texas Department of Public Safety received a report of a helicopter crash in Tyler County. The helicopter went down in a field on County Line Road in Tyler County, just off of Highway 190 and approximately 12 miles west of Woodville, Texas.
The annual Texas Adopt-A-Beach Cleanup is scheduled for this Saturday, September 26, 2015 at McFadden Beach, from 9 a.m. to noon. The program, which relies heavily on volunteers, is dedicated to preserving and protecting Texas beaches.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Financial firms plan to increase Hong Kong hires
Poll shows 38pc of finance executives will expand their HK workforce this year
Banking and financial jobs have often been at risk in Hong Kong over the past two years, but a recruitment firm says there may be better days ahead.
In a recent poll, 38 per cent of 1,100 senior executives from banks and financial institutions based in seven economies, including Britain, the United States, Canada and Hong Kong, said they would add to their permanent headcount in Hong Kong this year. That put the city second only to New York, where 50 per cent of the respondents said they would expand their workforce.
The survey, conducted by Robert Half in January, put London in third place, with 34 per cent indicating an increase in manpower there, followed by Shanghai (28 per cent) and Singapore (23 per cent).
Robert Half director Pallavi Anand expects most of the new jobs to be in compliance and risk management. She said technology workers are also in high demand in the financial sector.
The firm said middle management positions in areas such as credit, taxation and financial planning should receive a jump in salary of 10 per cent this year, while analysts covering compliance and money laundering issues could expect a pay rise of 14-20 per cent.
But Alexa Chow Yee-ping, managing director at Centaline Human Resources Consultants, said it may take some time for the survey's findings to take effect.
"Right now, I don't feel that the job market in banking and financial services is getting any better, but perhaps it will take time for the overseas conglomerates to put their plans into action," Chow said.
She said small-scale redundancies had continued to plague investment banks and brokerage firms over the past few months, with job losses ranging from middle management to very senior positions.
Two months ago, South Korea-based investment house Mirae Asset Financial announced its brokerage in Hong Kong would be shut down to save costs amid poor market conditions, with more than 30 staff losing their jobs.
That followed downsizing and restructuring exercises at major financial institutions such as Daiwa Securities, Nomura, HSBC and Citigroup.
Last year, Samsung Securities closed down its Hong Kong office to focus on its home market of South Korea.

Charge and Know the Battery Status of Samsung Galaxy S4

Questions and Answers
Why did my battery icon light change from green to white?
I have been facing this problem for the last two days.
Android 4.4 Kit Kat updated the look of your phone's software -- specifically replacing your green battery icon with a white one. Nothing is wrong with your device; it's just a refreshed look, courtesy of Samsung.
VisiHow QnA. This section is not written yet. Want to join in? Click EDIT to write this answer.
My battery life display went from green to white when fully charge or gray?
How can I get the green back?
Your battery icon is now white instead of green because of your phone's Android 4.4 Kit Kat update, which changed the look of your device. Unfortunately, there is no way to get the original green battery icon back. If you want a green battery icon, you can look at this Battery Widget, but it won't replace the white icon in the left part of your notifications bar.
My cell phone says battery disconnected when I'm trying to charge?
Keeps saying battery disconnected and I've tried two batteries and got the same result.
The Battery Disconnected warning happens to a lot of Samsung phone owners. Unfortunately, it's a result of a bent battery connector inside your phone; you will need to take your phone in to a certified technician to get this issue fixed.

About Black Mountain College
The story of Black Mountain College begins in 1933 and comprises a fascinating chapter in the history of education and the arts. Conceived by John A. Rice, a brilliant and mercurial scholar who left Rollins College in a storm of controversy, Black Mountain College was born out of a desire to create a new type of college based on John Dewey's principles of progressive education. The events that precipitated the College's founding occurred simultaneously with the rise of Adolf Hitler, the closing of the Bauhaus by the Nazis, and the beginning of the persecution of artists and intellectuals on the European continent. Some of these people found their way to Black Mountain, either as students or faculty. Meanwhile, the United States was mired in the Great Depression, and Franklin Roosevelt, committed to putting people back to work, established the Public Works Arts Project (a precursor of the WPA).
The founders of the College believed that the study and practice of art were indispensable aspects of a student's general liberal arts education, and they hired Josef Albers to be the first art teacher. Speaking not a word of English, he and his wife Anni left the turmoil in Hitler's Germany and crossed the Atlantic Ocean by boat to teach art at this small, rebellious college in the mountains of North Carolina.
Black Mountain College was fundamentally different from other colleges and universities of the time. It was owned and operated by the faculty and was committed to democratic governance and to the idea that the arts are central to the experience of learning. All members of the College community participated in its operation, including farm work, construction projects and kitchen duty. Located in the midst of the beautiful North Carolina mountains near Asheville, the secluded environment fostered a strong sense of individuality and creative intensity within the small College community.
Legendary even in its own time, Black Mountain College attracted and created maverick spirits, some of whom went on to become well-known and extremely influential individuals in the latter half of the 20th century. A partial list includes people such as Willem and Elaine de Kooning, Robert Rauschenberg, Josef and Anni Albers, Jacob Lawrence, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, Cy Twombly, Kenneth Noland, Susan Weil, Vera B. Williams, Ben Shahn, Ruth Asawa, Franz Kline, Arthur Penn, Buckminster Fuller, M.C. Richards, Francine du Plessix Gray, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley, Dorothea Rockburne and many others, famous and not-so-famous, who have impacted the world in a significant way. Even now, decades after its closing in 1957, the powerful influence of Black Mountain College continues to reverberate. For more information view our resources.

Old Ice Cream Truck Sells for Nearly $38,000
Last weekend's Auburn Spring sale by Auctions America included many fast, high-powered sports and muscle cars. Some attracted impressive bids.
A classic 1930 Duesenberg Boattail Speedster sold for $484,000, a 1969 Dodge Charger 500 fetched $130,000 and 1959 Jaguar XK 150S sold for $102,300. But the vehicle that perhaps stood out the most was a 1969 Good Humor ice cream truck built on a Ford F-250 chassis.

I'll limit my rely just to my experience: A Glock 17 (9mm, full size) and my wifes Glock 26 (9mm, sub-compact). I love them both, I just ordered another 26 for me. Reloads are not recommended in Glocks, so I shoot the cheapest quality 9mm I can find (CCI Aluminum case FMJ 115 gr.) for the range. Speer GDHP 115 gr. or 124 gr. for SD. I have never had any failures in either. No FTL, FTF or FTE. I know nothing about the "blow-ups" - never have seen one - only "rumored".
I use this for locking mine in the car:
You'll find a lot of opinions and great information here on 1911's!! We also have a bunch of highly experienced Glock shooters, as well as Sigs, Kimbers, you name it. I'm as close to a newbie as can be without still being totally wet behind the ears.
BTW - Welcome!

Top 10 Legend of Zelda Bosseslukestheman4
The Top Ten
I lone this boss. You beat him with his own weapon. And the fact that he destroys his own minions and doesn't even care. Too bad he was a 6 year old girl all along
Honestly, I enjoyed most of the Skyward Sword bosses, but Koloktos has always stood out to me. I think it may have to do with the location, the Ancient Cistern. It also introduced a new item into the game, the whip. Koloktos also requires a choice of moves because you might have to either fight or run.
This boss is the most epic you kills him with his own weapon and a whip he even is smarter then the rest of those bosses he covers his only weak spots no matter what!
The ancient cistern was great and it ended on a high note with this bossV 8 Comments
Story wise, this battle was amazing. People criticize it for Zant not being threatening and his change in personality coming out of nowhere, but that's not the case. Zant was a threatening villain, and when he realizes he can't have what he wants, he snaps. He goes insane, running around and doing strange things, but instead of that proving that he isn't that good a villain, it shows how even the most collected and effective people can be broken down, especially by an overwhelming desire for power or whatever it may be. Also, the battle itself was really fun, showing how impatient and crazy Zant is by switching up a lot, and also, it was really fun to go through a lot of the previous battles but with some differences...I just wish the Stallord battle had been brought back, also.
The Zant boss battle was the best in the series in my opinion the music was awesome during the boss fight he warps you to all the different areas in which you had to find out different strategies to take down the boss in each area and in the end it all came down to a sword to sword battle testing all the skills that you've learned so far
This is an amazing boss because of just how much variety there is. It's so fun because he's such a long boss, but it doesn't feel TOO long. The batt;e has so many fun moments, which require you to use almost every ability you've learned. I wish more bosses were as good as this one.
Zant is defiantly better than Koloktos, if anyone from Skyward Sword should be first, it's GhirahimV 4 Comments
In the second phase all you have to do is target her and hold out your shield and then slash her when she's stunned
I wasn't expecting phase 2! But anyway, here's how kill them.
You simply reflect there attacks in phase one, You hit the ice witch with fire magic from the fire witch and vice versa, on phase 2 you have to block her attacks about 3 times (I think) and when the power is at max it fires a beam onto her, that'll leave her vulnerable for attacks, so just slash away! - aarond9010
They made her so sexy on the second phase
AH. Twinrova ( boss of the spirit temple. Ok here is how you kill them. One is a sorcress of fire and one is a sorceress of ice. The stupid navi tells you that they don't like each others powers or something like that so when Koume (fire sorcress) shoots the fire at you and you have to reflect it to koume (ice sorcress) after you do that a couple of times to each one of them.A and then they turn into Twinrova. My pal is right see does look like the witch from the wizard of oz in a cherry power up from Mario 3d world. She fires at you three times with the same power if you don't see the same power she shot at you the 1st or 2nd time move away if you got all of the same power three times in a row release all the power from the mirror sheild then finish Twinrove with your swordV 1 Comment
Stallord was very fun, especially with a game of ping-pong. I even added him to my made-up game, The Legend of Zelda: Lost Hero. My invented game is only within my papers and mind. Tell what you think of my game. It's lost hero because everyone forgot who Link is thanks to Vaati, Demise, and Ganondorf. Navi, Midna, and Fi will help you on your adventure. It has at least 14 bosses.
Attacking his spinal column with one of the best items in the game was fun, then it all comes down to you riding on the walls trying to destroy his skull. - aarond9010
It uses the spinner so well. Shame the spinner wasn't used more, one of my favorite items.V 2 Comments
I love how you can attack canon with multiple weapons, and its more of a fight to beat him then a puzzle like other bosses like bongo bongo. you actually get to find any means necessary to beat up canon. wether that be dins fire, the megaton hammer, deku nuts, hookshot, arrows, you name it.
Looks very difficult to beat, especially if he's the last boss! If has a section of Ganondorf then he must be really strong
An amazing boss to finish a truly outstanding game. The whole game was building up to this point and it didn't disappoint.
Scary, innovative, and just plain amazing. BEST BOSS FIGHT EVER!V 2 Comments
The guy is plain creepy due to that sound he keps making until you realize he's THE ONE MAKING THE SOUND. If I could make a final boss this guy would be it.
Why not I mean he's fun and pretty easyV 1 Comment
What other Zelda boss is more of a race than a fight?
I love the Goht battle, as I also like the Goht's design. Should be number 1.
Ghirahim Battle 3 is way better than Goht.
Gohtta vote for this guy - Lord28V 1 Comment
I had the Bunny Hood equipped in this battle. Thank god I did! - higgsboson2142V 2 Comments
Link: Hey Ganon You wanna play doubles next time?
Hey can we be friends. You have hot jokes, bro
This boss was so epic. It has to phases. The first one you just have to run away from him while he is destroying everything in sight. Then you have to use your awesome skull hammer to crush its beak
Your finally facing off with Ganon's Colossal pet bird. Epic!
So darned emotional and satisfying.
It's just fun! I love itV 1 Comment
The Contenders
Although not a true boss, he was the most challenging yet fun enemy in the game.V 2 Comments
Ol' Queenie is awesome. She has a cool, creepy look and is the first boss that prepares Link for his journey to become the Hero of Time - ShuhBangggV 1 Comment
Really cool guy. Unlike most Zelda bosses, his weak spot is the tounge, not the eye. Plus, the music rocks.V 1 Comment
It's more tedious than anything, except long (I started a around 5:00 PM on the final day and It got me to the final 6 minutes. And I still didn't kill him! ). But, this is a cool boss fight. The Giant' mask can be put on here, and it's crazy awesome.
Awesome and hard this fight blew away the concept of dingy dungeons and introduced a palace in the sky
It's the only Boss which you fight in the middle of the air, like... No solid soil!?
It's obviously not the hardest. But one of the most unique, along with Goht and Smog (Which is not on the list?! What?! ).
It's the only Boss with two bosses who fight as a pair, instead of two individual bosses together (They connect theirs attacks... He protects her... She protects him... Lovey-dovey couple... Waaah! Why did I kill such a cute couple? ;-
He definitely needs more attention
To kill this guy you need to swing pillar to pillar with your clawshots, and then grapple onto his tail and start stabbing the gem on his back! - aarond9010V 2 Comments
I never fought Vaati because I never had the game but I watched the boss battle and it seemed cool. I added him in my made-up game, The Legend of Zela: Lost Hero. He teamed up with Demise and Ganondorf. Tell me what you think of the game.
I love Vaati! The fact he has many forms is awesome! His backstory also is cool considering you would never have guessed he was once a picori/minish!
I think this boss is kinda cool... cool... cool... boss... NOT TAKE MIRROR!
Cool boss, but it even gets cooler when you top it up with its super cool boss theme.
BLIZZETA IS MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE ZELDA BOSS! She is so SCARY!
Must be in the top 10!
No, Demise isn't Even Worthy of an Honorable Mention.
This guy was intense and the soundtrack made it even better. At least top 5. come on.

They can certainly be glorious. Winterland Vistas are a photographer's paradise, a discovery into the chilly world of varied whites and blues. In this article we explore the various locations across Canada which are sure to please the eye and the avid winter outdoorsman who are looking for the picture perfect postcard called "incredible". Imagine rent cottage for a week just to explore and relax through your camera? Do you have the desire? I sure have had the itch.
When I was a little girl, my parents would take my siblings and me to Blue Mountain for the day to have some fun on the slopes, and then a nice hot chocolate and some good hearty soup in town. I remember, even now can see them, towering yet inviting you to their cerulean peaks jutting out through the sunshine. Blue Mountain has made onto the list of gorgeous Winterland Vistas for Ontario. There is always something fun to do in Collingwood, but if you can find the right spot on the side of the highway, pop out and take a couple of shots, the views are gorgeous.
Ever been to Quebec City during "Winter Carnaval"? You will never see anything else like it in Canada. It is just like taking a step back into a different time. The snow is everywhere and in some cases taller than the level of a small car. But the people are warm and the culture is filled with good times. The vistas are like snapshots of old town Quebec are often compared to a friendly walk through a colourful sunrise on cold February morning. There are pockets of red with "Bonhomme's" scarf to see. Signs and street vendors fill the narrow lanes singing out what they are selling. Winter puts no stop on the festive nature of the times. Some of the most boisterous images will come to your camera's lens as you take images of ice sculptures and lighting sets where contests bring out some of the city's foremost artisans.
What Cranbrook boasts in steam baths and hot springs, it cannot compare to the majesty bestowed upon the province of British Columbia's rocky peaks. Whistler, BC as well, can have the same bragging rights. The vistas are more glorious than you could ever possible imagine. Your camera will fill as you capture ashen peaks with blanched out with snow, as you sport a sweater or a windbreaker….the weather never really gets below 12 or 15 degrees. You could rent a chalet, and simply take a nice fresh air walk along the side of the road and shoot one after the other of rocky mountain tops, at every angle…
Still, no matter where I travel, whatever cottage I rent and chalet I visit, I will always have a special place in my heart for my little snatch of winter land paradise on my Harris Lake. My cottage's winter land vista is as glorious, in my opinion, as the wonderful other ones in Canada.Author: SweetMarie

Stocks sputtered out of the starting gate Tuesday, posting losses in firm trading.
The Dow Jones industrial average slipped 0.5% at the start of trade. The Nasdaq and the S&P 500 each dimmed 0.4%.
Volume rose 31% on the Nasdaq and was 5% higher on the NYSE, compared with the same time Monday.
The stock market today appeared to draw little strength from a healthy reading on U.S. trade in March. The trade deficit narrowed slightly more than expected as both imports and exports rose for the month. Exports increased at their fastest pace in 11 months.
In stocks, Walt Disney (DIS) was the Dow's only stock to advance, gaining less than 1%. The diversified entertainment operation, scheduled to report results after the close, has been sculpting a shallow consolidation since early March.
Energy issues continued their recent strong performance. EOG Resources (EOG) jumped 4% in heavy trade after reporting a solid first-quarter beat late Monday. Shares are rebounding from their 10-week moving average.
Anadarko Petroleum (APC) popped 4% after delivering Q1 results late Monday. Both revenue and earnings topped analyst projections, and management raised the mid-point of its full-year sales forecast by 3.5 million barrels of oil equivalent per day. The gain put shares not quite 5% above a cup-case buy point of 98.57.
The IBD 50 leaned lower at the open, but traded most in a narrow range. Keurig Green Mountain (GMCR) posted the biggest gain, up just shy of 1%. Ambarella (AMBA) staked out the low side with a 3% decline.
Avago Technologies (AVGO) was one of the morning's bright spots, up 4% in heavy trade after Standard & Poor's announced late Monday it would add the stock to the S&P 500 list beginning Thursday. The maker of radio frequency chips used in Apple and Samsung smartphones broke out of a flat base, rising above a 65.93 buy point.
Tuesday's busy after-hours reporting schedule calls for first quarter results from game makers Electronic Arts (EA) and Activision Blizzard (ATVI), as well as First Solar (FSLR), FireEye (FEYE), Trimble Navigation (TRMB) and others.
