DE PERE, Wis (WSAU-Wheeler News) A state lawmaker is quacking mad, after the state Justice Department told a community in his district that its charity duck race is illegal gambling. Assembly Republican Andre Jacque of De Pere wants to fix that. He's asking colleagues to co-sign a bill to legalize plastic duck races -- which non-profit groups use as fund-raising raffles. J
acque said the village of Mishicot was recently warned by the Justice Department that its ducks were a vehicle for illegal gambling. He said his bill would create an exception to allow duck races -- similar to what neighboring Minnesota and Michigan do. The bill would legalize races like the "Lucky Ducky Derby" in Menomonee Falls, and the "Ducktona-500" in Sheboygan Falls.

Florida Golf Vacations at Mission Inn
If you value getting away as much as you value golfing in Florida, the answer is obvious.
Mission Inn Resort's courses are distinct – from other Florida golf courses and from each other. Test yourself mentally and physically on the dramatic ups and downs of El Campéon; then take it easier on Las Colinas (don't completely drop your guard, however – Las Colinas' length and inclines promise a genuine competition).
Randall Noonan, our friend and former golf pro, liked to say, "You may prefer one of our courses over the other. But either way, you're going to have a good time." So play them both. Decide which one you like better. Then re-play it. You're guaranteed two unique golf experiences, and you might even improve your game. (Our full practice facility, Mission Inn Golf Academy and teaching pros can help you achieve that.)
Golfing aside, there are other reasons Florida golf vacation travelers choose Mission Inn Resort. Some of these come through in the reading – proximity to Orlando (our location 35 minutes northwest of the city gives you easy access to theme parks, shopping and endless possibilities for side-trips to surrounding small towns) and our choice of accommodations, ranging from guest rooms and suites to golf villas.
But some are better experienced . Like our Spa Marbella, where lounges, steam rooms and signature services cater to men, women and couples. Like our recreational array that can take you from playing tennis to walking nature trails to boating or fishing on Lake Harris. And like the personal approach we take with our guests that comes with being a family-owned-and-operated business for close to 50 years.

Despite Porsche unveiling the 911 Turbo Coupe earlier this year, Porsche decided to make us wait a little bit longer for the Convertible version. We're not too sure why Porsche waited so long, but to no surprise, the convertible version features the same design language and features as the Turbo coupe .
Just like with the coupe, the new 911 Turbo Convertible will be about 1.1 inches wider than the base 911 Carrera 4 and will receive a new all-wheel-drive system, active rear-axle steering and adaptive aerodynamics. The main difference is, of course, the fabric top that opens and closes in just 13 seconds.
The new 911 Turbo Convertible will be put on sale early next year at a starting price of $160,700 for the Turbo version and $193,900 for the Turbo S version.
Updated 09/23/2013: This review was updated with the official details, images and specs.
Click past the jump to read more about the new Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible.
Gallery Porsche 911 Turbo
With exception to its convertible top and the slight change in roofline that it brings, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet carries the exact same design language as its coupe brother. the driver can operate the drop top at speeds of up to 31 mph, and it takes just 13 seconds to completely lower it. Also included is a newly developed power wind deflector that allows the driver to enjoy the sunshine without tons of turbulence and with minimal wind noise. The wind deflector takes just two seconds to deploy and stays active all the way up to 75 mph.
Just like its coupe sibling, the 911 Turbo Convertible is equipped with Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA), which includes a retractable, three-stage front spoiler and a deployable rear wing with three positions. At low speeds, the front spoiler and rear wing hide out of site to give the 911 a sleek look. At about 75 mph, they partially extended to add extra downforce with minimal drag. At higher speeds, the driver can fully extend the spoiler and wing, giving the 911 maximum downforce.
Also, new in the 911 Turbo models are revised LED headlights equipped with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+).
Exterior Dimensions:
|96.46 inches
|74.02 inches w/o mirrors
|177.4 inches
|51.02 inches
The interior, to no surprise, will also be identical to the coupe version. For the Turbo S version, Porsche offers a Black/Carrera Red trim combined with adaptive Sport Seat Plus seats with 18-way adjustment and memory. The backrest shells of the seats are leather trimmed with double cap seams, while numerous other elements are trimmed in carbon fiber.
As standard, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet receives a Bose sound system, but buyers can opt for a Burmester system. Also optional it a radar-controlled adaptive Cruise Control system, a camera-based road sign and speed limit recognition function, and rearview camera.
Under the hood, the Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible features a turbocharged 3.8-liter, six-cylinder engine that delivers 520 horsepower. In the Turbo S variant, this 3.8-liter, six-pot cranks out 560 horsepower. This powerful six hooks up to a seven-speed PDK transmission. This drivetrain combines to zip the 911 Turbo Convertible to 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and the Turbo S in 3 seconds flat, and up to a respective top speed of 195 mph and 197 mph.
Both variants maintain respectable fuel economy for their output, as they come in at 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway.

Suspension and Brakes
The new 911 Turbo models were built on a new chassis and sit on a wheelbase that is 3.93 inches longer than last year's model, giving it a more secure stance. Twenty-inch wheels come standard on the 911 Turbo Convertible, as do Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) for decreased stopping distances and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) to help improve its handling characteristics.
For the first time, the 911 Turbo is equipped with a rear axle steering that enhances both day-to-day usability and performance. It features two electromechanical actuators, which are installed on the rear axle instead of conventional toe control arms and controls the wheels of the 911 from +/- 2.8 degrees in the opposite direction to or the same direction as the steering angle on the front axle, as needed.

Spy Shots
From the uncovered model that we caught in a parking lot, you can easily see that the 911 Turbo Cabriolet offers up no surprises at all. It carries all of the same updates as the coupe model, including the revised taillight, updated headlights and new exhaust exits.
As you can see above, our rendering of the 911 Turbo Convertible was fairly accurate, but there were a few flaws. We were incorrect on the hood louvers, the type of spoiler and the shape of the rear air outlets. Overall, however, the rendering was pretty spot on for being so early in the process.
The Audi R8 V10 Spyder was unveiled in 2008 and for the 2014 model year, it received a small revision. The model received a new single-frame grille, a new bumper and a new carbon-fiber front splitter. The entire lineup received new headlamps with LED technology.
Under the hood, the R8 V10 received a hand-built 5.2-liter V-10 engine that delivers a total of 525 horsepower and 391 pound-feet of torque. With these updates, the R8 V10 sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds with a top speed of 193.25 mph.
Audi priced the R8 V10 Spyder at $164,700 for the manual version and at $173,800 for the S tronic version.
Gallery Audi R8 V10 Spyder
Aston Martin Vantage V12 Roadster
The V12 Vantage is powered by a 6.0-liter, V-12 engine producing 510 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. This amount of power is enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds and up to a top speed of 190 mph.
Gallery Aston Martin Vantage
Despite the extended wait, the 911 Turbo Convertible offers no surprises when compared to what we have seen in the coupe model. While the model was offered as an evolution, not a revolution — in true Porsche spirit — it does indeed offer some major updates over the previous generation that will make it even more competitive among competition. We are a little put off on the timing of the release, as summer is quickly winding down, which means the convertible-buying season is nearly over.
- More powerful when compared to previous model
- New technologies
- Turbo S version sounds very promising
- No major updates on the exterior
- Quite expensive, as usual
- Why the long wait? Now buyers have to wait until spring to enjoy their convertible.

Press Release
Porsche is adding two new models to the 911 range: the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet. These new models combine the dynamic range of the new 911 Turbo models with the driving pleasure offered by an open-top sports car. 50 years after the 911 made its debut, and coinciding with the 40th anniversary of the 911 Turbo, the open-top versions of the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S are make their global debut at the Los Angeles International Auto Show on November 20, 2013. By adding the two new 911 Turbo models into the mix, Porsche is doubling its offering of the top-of-the-range models to four versions.
In extending the range, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet deliver the same blend of sporty dynamism, performance and efficiency offered by the Coupe model unveiled a few months ago. The twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter six-cylinder engine delivers 520 hp in the open-top 911 Turbo and 560 hp in the S model. The cars accelerate from zero to 60mph in 3.3 and 3.1 seconds respectively, reaching a top speed of up to 195 mph. When compared against the respective predecessor models, the new 911 Turbo Cabriolet's deliver 30 more horsepower and are 0.2 seconds faster in terms of their standard acceleration. The 911 Turbo Cabriolet and 911 Turbo S Cabriolet U.S. EPA fuel consumption ratings are 17.0 mpg city and 24.0 mpg highway.
Active rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics for improved performance and efficiency
The driving capability offered by the two new top-of-the-range Cabriolet models is something that cannot be expressed in simple figures. With a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission as standard and the new PTM all-wheel drive, as well as rear-axle steering and active aerodynamics, the open-top 911 Turbo models are establishing Porsche technology in the open-top super sports car segment. While the rear-axle steering has an immensely positive impact on handling, both on the racetrack and during everyday use, the active aerodynamics are adjusted to offer optimum efficiency or driving performance at the touch of a button, depending on the driver's selection.
More than ever before, both of these new top-of-the-range models make a clear visual statement about their performance. The wide flared rear fenders of the new 911 Turbo generation are 1.1 in. wider than those of the 911 Carrera 4 models – a virtually level surface and just over a hand's width extend out from the C-pillar to the outer edge of the vehicle's body. The impressive width is accentuated further when the top is down.
Another eye-catching feature of the 911 Turbo Cabriolet is the exclusive Porsche retractable roof with its lightweight magnesium frame. This innovative technology enables the Coupe-like arch to the roof to be preserved when the top is closed. This arch, which offers advantages in terms of aerodynamics, is not feasible using conventional construction techniques. As with predecessor models, the roof opens and closes in around 13 seconds, at speeds of up to 30 mph.
Premium materials in the interior
The interior of the new Cabriolet models follows that of the 911 Turbo Coupe. The S-model boasts a particularly extensive range of features, including an exclusive interior available in Black/Carrera Red and adaptive Sport Seats Plus with 18-way adjustment and memory. In addition, the backrest shells of the seats are leather trimmed with double stitched seams, and various elements are made from lightweight carbon fiber. As with predecessor models, the Bose sound system is fitted as standard, and for the first time, a Burmester sound system is available as an option. The radar-controlled adaptive Cruise Control system, camera-based road sign and speed limit recognition function and reverse camera are also available as options.
The new top-of-the-range 911 Cabriolet models will be launched onto the market in early 2014. In the United States, the 911 Turbo Cabriolet costs $160,700 and the new 911 Turbo S Cabriolet costs $193,900. Note: Prices do not include destination charges of $950.

The Decline in Inequality in Latin America: How Much, Since When and Why
AbstractBetween 2000 and 2009, the Gini coefficient declined in 13 of 17 Latin American countries for which comparable data exist. The decline was statistically significant and robust to changes in the time interval, inequality measures and data sources. In depth country studies for Argentina, Brazil, Mexico and Peru suggest that there are two phenomena which underlie this trend: (i) a fall in the premium to skilled labor (as measured by returns to education); and (ii) higher and more progressive government transfers. The fall in the premium to skills results from a combination of supply and demand factors and, in Argentina and, to a lesser extent, in Brazil, from more active labor market policies as well.

Chesterfield police say vehicle battery thefts are on the rise. Now, they want the public's help to find a man and woman stealing batteries from various cars, as seen in NBC12's exclusive surveillance video.
Officers say the couple hit at least three businesses in three days, making away with about 18 batteries. They also might be connected to several battery thefts from Chesterfield County school buses.
Once stolen, batteries are usually recycled at salvage yards, which pay about $0.25 per pound. Not many places recycle batteries because of the lead that's inside but those that do are willing to pay. A bus battery might go for about $12. A car battery for about $10.
"It's a non-confrontational way of committing a crime," said Sergeant Don Story with Chesterfield Police. "They're not running into people. They're going late at night and stealing batteries out of cars so they can make some money."
The heavier the battery, the bigger the profit.
Where a thief gets the battery isn't as difficult to find as where it goes.
"Salvage facilities don't separate the items as they're being brought in," said Sgt. Story. "They're just grouped in with other items."
Many owners also don't keep the serial number or skew number of their vehicle battery.
For now, officers are handing out pictures of the suspects to local salvage yards and recycling centers so next time the couple tries to sell stolen goods they won't get paid, they'll get served.
If you have any information about this or any other crime, you're asked to call crime solvers at 748-0660.

DistributionRead full entry
Range DescriptionPithecia pithecia is distributed throughout the northern Amazon basin (Hershkovitz 1987). In Venezuela, it is restricted to the north-eastern BolÃvar State and the southern part of the Delta Amacuro State. This species is located east of the lower Caronà River, south of the lower Orinoco River, and along the Cuyunà river basin.
The exact range limits of the two subspecies remain unclear. According to Hershkovitz (1987), Pithecia p. pithecia occurs in the Guyanas and Pithecia p. chrysocephala in Brazil; however, the former has been confirmed in the state of Amapá and the north of Pará, which means the range of Pithecia p. chrysocephala is reduced to the area between the Rios Negro and Rio Nhamundá (Jose Silva Jr. pers. comm.).

TAYLOR (WKZO) -- A 52-year-old Taylor man with cerebral palsy is on a mission to speak to President Obama.
Curtis Kile is wheelchair bound and left his home on June 14th with his mind set on seeking the President's support for the legalization of medical marijuana nationwide. He believes the drug has been a great benefit to his health and wants others to have the opportunity to see if marijuana can help them.
Kile is hoping to be at the White House gate on July 4th and is not sure he'll get to speak with President Obama.

SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated
This was good, but I changed the ingredients. I first made it with vegetable oil, but thought it was to oily. I changed the vegetable oil to Mayonaise and I used surgar instead of splenda. I also used apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar. I heated the sugar and vinegar together until the sugar was disolved. I liked it a lot with the changes i made.
I enjoyed this but we found it too sweet. Next time I'd use half of the splenda.

Based upon other reviews I cut the sugar by half and also cut the oil. with these changes it was yummy

Take a look at the 2010 model year GT3 and it all looks so subtle, doesn't it? Now you know I'm going to tell you the long list of changes if only to silence your skepticism.
Of all the things making this GT3 really and honestly the best civilian Porsche of all time, item number one is the masses of added downforce fore and aft. All 911 experiences up until the new GT2 included a dose of nervousness. That busy rear end with the axle spitting out all the power and torque available coupled to just a modicum of downforce has consistently made for a dancing front end and a firmer grip on the steering wheel than I'd like.
Thanks to the new design of the 47.3-inch wide fixed rear wing and the extended front chin splitter under larger intakes, at 300 km/h (186 mph) rear downforce is now 132 pounds with 88 pounds in front. These amounts are roughly five times greater than the previous 997 GT3 and they are crucial reasons for the ability to cruise easily at the v-max of 193 mph, frequently with just one hand gripping the steering wheel while I talk with my co-pilot Jesus (he of the Mexican press corps). The difference in the car's confidence and comportment is tremendous.
Former rally champion, chief Porsche tester and Nrburgring know-it-all Walter Rhrl, wisely confirms this. "The secret to the car's big improvements," he says, "is the added downforce." In fact, during a countryside wild ride the champ tells me: "Even if it's wet and raining, I prefer this GT3 racing at the Nrburgring-of course with the optional Pirelli all-season tires and 4mm treads." Just for your knowledge, on perfect dry days he prefers the GT2 for the sheer power and ability to give him 7:31 lap times. This new GT3 with semi-slick Michelin Cup tires laps the Rhrlring in 7:40-a full five seconds quicker than the previous GT3.
Aside from aerodynamic revelations, the other biggest deal here is the new 3.8-liter version of the Porsche flat six. Bore and stroke before on the 3.6-liter engine were 3.94 x 3.00 inches; on the 3.8 they change to 4.04 x 3.01. According to Andreas Preuninger, Porsche motorsport manager for high-performance cars: "We have finally really reached the bore limit with this engine. This is the maximum before we need to create a new engine blueprint." Wall thickness between bores is in fact so thin now that steel cylinder liners have been added for durability as with the GT3 RSR racecars.
This engine is actually based on the flat-six motorsport engine first used for the GT1 Le Mans racer back in 1996. With its heart still in racing, the 3.8-liter mill has not been fitted with Porsche's direct-injection fuel system. Had they done so, practically speaking, private racers would no longer have been able to use the GT3, and that would be bad. And the dual-clutch PDK transmission will never be available for this car. "First, PDK weighs 66 pounds more than the Getrag six-speed manual," says Preuninger. "Then also when I am racing, and want to really finesse the car into a slide, I need a clutch pedal and manual shifter."
The redline for this 3.8-liter GT3 climbs to 8500 rpm, 100 rpm more than before. On upshifts, max power of 429 horses hits at 7600 rpm (max torque of 317 pound-feet at 6250 rpm) and that noise is righteous as well from the quad resonance intake bevels at the rear. The gearbox carries pretty quick and short ratios and it's a psychotically intense feeling actually shifting up to sixth gear at 183 mph in order to reach for the very maximum 193 mph. There's not even a little twitch during that shift and clutch release. Acceleration to 60 mph is way too easy in second gear and happens (conservatively estimated) in just 4.0 seconds. Feels like less.
During dynamic thrill sessions, drivers have a new option available called Porsche Active Drivetrain Mounts (PADM). For $1,000 you can have the two standard engine mounts replaced with magnetorheological engine dampers created by Delphi. These operate intuitively based on car movement and weight transfer forces, allowing more natural powertrain shifts of up to half an inch during casual drives. But when the track calls, engine movements get reeled in to just one tenth of an inch at most, creating motorsport-like dynamics through harder transitional moments at speed. These come available later this year to coincide with North American deliveries. The mounts can be retrofitted later, too.
The H&R rear suspension springs have been modified as well to complement the fresh downforce, and the new rear anti-roll bar is the same used on the GT2. That's clever parts-bin rummaging. They even took advantage of this GT3 modification session to improve the standard and ceramic brakes. The standard steel rotors grow to 15.0 inches in front and weigh 1.3 pounds less than the previous 13.8-inch discs, while the PCCB optional ceramic discs by SGL now weigh 2.2 pounds less each due to the use of aluminum center pieces versus the former stainless steel. The lightness is evident through the steering wheel, and the stoppers all stop real good.
All North American cars come fitted with a leather and synthetic sport seat, the other three styles of seat the rest of the world gets not being homologable in North America only. It's such a bummer, too, because the one-piece competition seats are insanely supportive and comfortable while also being lightweight. Yanks and Canucks also cannot get the Clubsport pack with its half rollcage, fire extinguisher, four-point seatbelts, and battery kill switches.
Having sold 5,200 of the last GT3 including the RS-twice what they had planned for-Porsche plans to build 5,000 units of this GT3 at a starting price of $112,200. She's worth it.
Rolling Swabian alpine two-lanes where the only thing to occasionally dodge is the cow-pie trails left by the harvesting farmers in their tall tractors. The sun is glowing and Walter Rhrl is there, and at night our hotel brews its own beer and the barmaids are hearty and laughing. Every ingredient of the scenario encouraging bold behavior and big stories.

We have just received a brand new third generation Toyota Prius into the Top Speed test fleet. Wile we are usually about high horsepower rides that are in contention to set land speed records even we must bow out and admit that these little Hybrid commuter cars are only going to become more common as time goes on. Now this is not quite the prototype we saw back in May , our 2010 Prius didn't come with the very trick sunroof mounted solar panel and we didn't even get leather. But that's OK, because we do have the same 1.8 Liter Hybrid Synergy Drive engine that was in the previous Prius we saw. In an effort to improve fuel economy Toyota has decided to increase the engine's displacement giving it more torque across the rev band meaning that it won't have to work as hard getting the Prius moving to the tune of 50 MPG.
It seems that everything about the Prius was made so that the car could cut through the air with the least amount of resistance. The bulges on the sides of the front bumper push air away from the turbulent rotating wheels at speed, which are covered with some pretty interesting plastic covers that were almost certainly included as a fuel-saving afterthought. The design team even incorporated finlets at the rear of the flat paneled under tray that are more functional that the majority of the diffusers bolted to the bottom of a rear bumper. Toyota engineers go to countless measures to squeeze every last ounce of efficiency from their flagship hybrid. A number that was being thrown around when we first spoke to a Toyota representative was one million, because that is how much the Japanese automaker spends every hour of every working day conducting drag reduction research which has led to the Prius' .25 Cd.
Continued after the jump.
As part of the car's low energy consumption gameplan, it has been fitted with LED headlamps and tail lamps, a feature only currently being offered on the Audi R8. On the inside the driver sits on new-plastic, a non-petroleum based synthetic product that Toyota only used in few select locations. New-plastic is denser than the traditional polymer so the added weight was an issue and therefore used only in select locations, but it is another environmentally friendly nod for the Japanese automaker. At first we were honestly a little turned off by the lack of leather or even a satellite radio, but when we looked at the spec sheet we could see why. Our 2010 Toyota Prius was selling for $23,500. After factoring in whatever cash for clunkers and or alternative fuel tax credit you could have had its like Toyota is practically giving the car to you, that is unless the dealership is looking for a premium. If Toyota can sell their most popular gas/electric hybrid at this price it will surely give the affordable Insight from Honda a run for its money.

I was showing property last week to a client of mine. They asked me to go with them and see a house that they would like to consider for purchase with a possibility of making an offer. After I saw the house, they told me that they have seen this house the week before when there was an open-house. The agent who had hosted the open-house offered her service to them, but my client denied her request and said that they already have a broker who will represent them. Yes, that was correct.
