WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — Last week, President Barack Obama spoke at a fundraising event, which is an activity he'll be repeating with frequency heading into the midterm elections.
But the speech he delivered to money men and women in Purchase, N.Y., on Friday was notable for how the president characterized the situation — with respect to the economy, world affairs and more. It was an assessment containing its share of positives, but it also drew some derision — and, notably, Obama deleted a passage that was widely mocked when he addressed donors in Rhode Island later that day.
Obama spoke initially about the state of the U.S. before he took office. "And when you think about what was happening then, we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. The economy was actually contracting at a faster pace than had happened during the Great Depression. Today, we've now seen 53 straight months of job growth, over 10 million jobs created. Unemployment rate has come down faster this year than any time in the last 30 years."
Lately, the jobs market has picked up, as shown in the decline in the unemployment rate as well as increased hiring. Economists expect the Labor Department on Friday to report the seventh month in a row of 200,000-plus job gains.
Obama: "The deficit has been cut by more than half. We have seen record corporate profits. The stock market has not just recovered but actually gone well beyond where we were pre-crisis."
MarketWatch did a comprehensive story on how the stock market has surged during this presidency, looking at the effect of 2,000 days of Obama on the stock market. As of July, the Obama presidency ranked third, behind Bill Clinton and Franklin Roosevelt, in terms of stock gains.
Obama: "Our energy production here in America is higher than it's ever been. For the first time in maybe 20 years, we actually produce more energy than we import. We're producing twice as much clean energy as we were when I came into office, 10 times more solar energy, three times more wind energy — which partly accounts for why we reduced carbon emissions faster than any other advanced country in the world."
Though the industry hotly debates how much White House policies have to do with it, the shale revolution has driven a big jump in domestic production, as shown here.
Obama: "Having said all that, a lot of people still feel anxious. And the question then is, why is it that if things have gotten better, why are people anxious? Why is there still disquiet across the country? Why is it that people feel cynical about the possibilities for the future?"
The data back this idea of disquiet. As of August, 71% in an NBC News/WSJ poll expressed a belief that the country was on the wrong track.
Obama: "[A]lthough the economy as a whole has done well, there are still too many folks who have been left behind. Those of us at the very top have done very well. But there are still a lot of people out there out of work; still a lot of people who, at the end of the month, are struggling to pay the bills; still a lot of families who work really hard every single day but can't figure out how to pay for child care, or can't imagine how they're going to save for their kid's college education, or have no idea how they're going to retire. Corporate profits have gone up, stock market has gone up, but wages and incomes have barely budged not just in the last six years, but in the last 20 years."
Charted here is median household income, dating back to 2000. Adjusted for inflation, the typical household has lost ground since the Great Recession — and the Obama presidency.
Obama: "And some of those efforts [in the education and health-care areas] are going to cost money. But the truth is, is that we've also got a whole bunch of corporate loopholes out there that could be closed, and a tax system that doesn't work. And if all of us are doing our fair share, then all of us can do well, not just some of us."
Shown above are what are called "tax extenders." These are a combination of corporate and individual tax breaks that Congress has yet to sign into law. The point made here by the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget is that one of Obama's pet peeves, corporate inversions, costs relatively little to the American taxpayer, but it's also fair to note the White House objects to some of these tax-extender provisions as well.
Obama: "And the truth of the matter is, is that the world has always been messy. In part, we're just noticing now because of social media and our capacity to see in intimate detail the hardships that people are going through. The good news is that American leadership has never been more necessary, and there's really no competition out there for the ideas and the values that can create the sort of order that we need in this world.
This was widely mocked, and, at a second speech on Friday, the "social media" excuse was not included in the text of the remarks.
WOW. RT @markknoller Pres Obama said "The world's always been messy … we're just noticing now in part because of social media."— Reince Priebus (@Reince) August 29, 2014
The world is literally falling apart and blowing up but Obama says that the world is really not that bad... It's social media's fault. WHAT!— Ramblin' Harry (@StealthNomadKid) September 2, 2014
A: Extreme GOP, small-minded reporters, structural issues, and now: "Social media." Q: Who will Obama blame for woes? http://t.co/7ZZdE5521Q— Ron Fournier (@ron_fournier) August 30, 2014
Obama: "Which brings me to the last reason that people are anxious, and that is that Washington doesn't work. It's hard to describe how unproductive this Congress is. Harry Truman campaigned against what was known — what he called the 'do-nothing Congress.' But compared to this Congress, that was a do-a-whole-lot Congress."
Republicans point out that, while the number of bills passed is low, much of the legislation passed in the House of Representatives has simply died after being passed on to the Democrat-controlled Senate. Still, the president is certainly correct that the Congress has done historically little.

On 3rd down, we ran 3 times, passed 12 times and 0 play action.
2 of the 3rd down runs were sneaks by Orton, of which only 1 was converted. You people want to complain about Hillis? Our offense can't even get to a managable 3rd and short to even give ANY RB a shot at converting.
Our average 3rd down and distance was 7.8 yards per. We finished 4-15 on 3rd down conversions.
This is the epitome of the run run pass punt offense. I'm too lazy to go calculate our 1st down yardage average, but you already know it can't be good when we are averaging
almost 8 yards to go on 3rd down
Kyle Orton is not the type of QB that can get you 8 yards on 3rd down consistently.
Other thing to note is that we only ran 4 play action plays the entire game. So we aren't even attempting to take advantage of being stubborn and running on almost every 1st down.
McD is also putting Orton in a bad spot by calling the game this way. The defense knows when we are going to pass. I still don't know if it's McD aggorance, or if he doesn't trust the ability of Orton to open up the playbook.
In any case, it's sad seeing such a sad, predictable offense these days.
Good post.

Watching "Toy Box" begin to come together has been an absolutely fascinating experience. In a rehearsal room, I'm used to being the dancer or the choreographer, the creator or the created-upon. These days, I'm more observer. That's not to say, of course, that I don't ever participate, I do, but it's more tangentially than usual--I'll spot a lift, suggest a solution, annotate a score. I'm not an active participant in the same way that I am when I'm choreographing or dancing.
But this kind of distance has really allowed me to see this project from many angles--perhaps more so than I could have as either dancer or choreographer. Because Rebecca has assigned each of the students to create some of the choreographic material and vocabulary, the rehearsal room is always bustling with creative energy and insight that I get to watch happen. I'm beginning to see how the lizard dance will morph into the ballerina dance into the policeman dance.
I've also had the pleasure of playing with the score. My copy is marked up with numbers and writing: Pilar's annotations about past productions, notes on Prof. Morrison's lectures about the musical games in the score, my notes about how the page numbers correspond to seconds on a CD, Rebecca's notes about what phrase will fit in where and how her narrative arc relates to the music. It's become a sort of archive of all the different influences and ideas that are coalescing into this new creative work.
A 25 minute improvisation on Wednesday provided the impetus for a lot of new material today and I'm so excited to see what the dancers and Rebecca will do with it all. This project is definitely beginning to come together and I'll keep all of you out there posted on its progress!

Title: Not as bad as other reviews suggest
Date: Nov 08, 2011
I saw a lot of bad reviews for this product, that it broke easily etc. So far, ours is still going strong, although I will admit that my 7 year old probably takes better care of his things than most his age. The one thing that is disappointing is the light output which is very dim. I'm thinking that retrofitting LEDs would probably help a lot. if anyone can figure out how to do that, let me know!! Otherwise, it looks cool and really helped make my son's "Savage Opress" Clone Wars costume.

Just bought 2x8GB DDR3 and it has been pissing me off because the system has been BSODing and I can't get the RAM to run at its rated 1866mhz. It is my first time using a UEFI BIOS so I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.
The RAM I purchased is Mushkin's Redline 16GB DDR3 at 1866mhz 9-9-9-27 timings. But the memtest 86 test does not show that, so do I have a setting wrong somewhere?

Posted 31 March 2013 - 02:24 PM
I am not sure, I did not mess with any of the settings, I just use the Autoinstaller for USB, and booted memtest from the Flash Drive.
Just for reference, I am using a Biostar TA990FXE mobo and a FX-8350 cpu.
Posted 31 March 2013 - 02:28 PM
Mine boots at 1333 at 1.5 volts and terrible timings unless I change things.

Posted 31 March 2013 - 02:30 PM
I have never used a UEFI BIOS before and it kinda scared me, because I have no idea what 60% of the settings do. The only way I could find to change the RAM speed was to use the overclocking settings, I set it to the rated 1866Mhz, with 200 FSB, and it would not boot, and I had to clear the CMOS.
EDIT: I will take some pictures of the BIOS settings once memtest is finished.
Edited by Kuronin, 31 March 2013 - 02:33 PM.
Posted 31 March 2013 - 02:40 PM
Those 1-3-3-3 timings shown on the memtest might be problematic.

go into the Advanced part of the BIOS and set VDimm according to what is on the sticks... there will also be an XMP profile for the DRAM in the advanced settings (memory timings) set the XMP profile that matches your sticks...
That ram 1.5v so you might make sure thats what the XMP sets...
Beings the errors are all on one stick you might want to make sure the sticks are int eh CORRECT slots... the board will say the preferred slots to use with 2 sticks... make sure they are fully seated. I;ve had not that wasnt fully seated produce errors...

At the risk of sounding like a complete idiot, I am having trouble finding an option you described.
The Advanced Tab:
I found these setting under the "Memory Insight" tab
And then I attempted to enter in the timings manually. I will see if I can boot with these settings, but I am not entirely sure that the errors will stop.
Posted 31 March 2013 - 09:55 PM
The Memory EXT is the setting you want.... try STD or the XMP profiles and re-run the testing...

Kuron, if you didn't do a CMOS clear when you swapped out the memory kits, your BIOS might be having a hard time picking up the correct information from the new memory. Do a CMOS clear, boot into BIOS and load optimized defaults (F3).
Reboot computer, go to BIOS again and load XMP1 memory profile. Save changes and reboot. Run Memtest and see how it goes.
If for some reason your motherboard won't properly pick up the settings from the XMP1 memory profile, you'll need to enter the four primary memory timings and dram voltage manually.
Good luck.
If you're still getting Memtest errors then I suggest you re-run the test on the memory modules one by one. Make sure to use the DIMM slot specified for single memory module operation.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Two Knoxville women accused of kidnapping and murder have been added to the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's Most Wanted List.
Twenty-three-year-old Natisha Davis and 28-year-old Trina Littlejohn are said to be on the run from Union County sheriff's officials.
The two are accused of kidnapping a Union County woman during a drug transaction in Union County last month and shooting her in the back.
Warrants have been issued charging them with especially aggravated kidnapping and felony murder.
Two others accused in the killing are being held in the Knox County Jail.
The TBI is offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to their arrests. Investigators are urging anyone who knows their whereabouts to call the TBI at (800) TBI-FIND.

When the Washington Nationals gave Elijah Dukes his unconditional release this morning, just about everyone's mind went to the same place. The often troubled Dukes has a torrid past, which despite reports of a recent growth in his maturity, still harbors the biggest fears in a Nationals fans heart. For a collective moment, we were all thinking, "What did Elijah do now?"
But as the dust settled, and the Twitter battles ended, it became clear that the slugger we were all rooting for had matured his behavior, just not his game. Mike Rizzo and Jim Riggleman told everyone who would listen that this was an on the field matter, calling it a "performance based decision." Nationals Manager Jim Riggleman went as far to say that he viewed Dukes as essentially a AAAA player, the type of guy who was too advanced for AAA, but not able to produce constantly in the majors.
While Dukes struggled in 2009 at the young age of 25, he excelled in 2008 at the age of 24. The right-fielder batted .260/.386/.478, numbers which came after he only managed to hit .167/.311/.208 in his first 20 games. Dukes finished 2008 with a wRC+ of 135, a UZR/150 of 11.6, and a WAR of 2.8. With his track record, many still projected Dukes to have a breakout year in 2010.
Despite our analytics however the Nationals felt it was better to go another way. By releasing Dukes today, they will only have to pay him 30 days pay. Had they waited until tomorrow, Dukes would have officially had three years of major league service and they would have had to award him his entire 2010 salary. The club will look to platoon in rightfield and will select from Justin Maxwell, Mike Morse, Roger Bernadina, Willy Taveras and Willie Harris.
Last night Rich Coutinho of ESPN Radio reported that the New York Mets had discussed the possibility of trading for Nationals shortstop Cristian Guzman. The speculation was that the Mets may be in the market for a shortstop as a result of Jose Reyes falling ill to a thyroid condition.
However, a team official told Adam Rubin of the New York Daily News that there's "no chance" Guzman is traded to the Mets, and implied that Jose Reyes will be back. If Reyes is not able to start the season, the Mets also have the option of fixing the problem internally with 20-year-old prospect Ruben Tejada. While Tejada's bat is not considered major league ready, there are many who feel he could field the position now.

Fantastic..but I did I few substitutions. I used lowfat cream cheese..(I can t stand the taste of FF cream cheese and I used a tsp of butter extract in the cake and filling instead of vanilla. Thats all I changed and it was delicious! Def a keeper and will enjoy making for years to come. And I will try it with ff cream cheese too..one day.Oh and I forgot , I used a regular yellow cake mix because thats what I had on hand.

Can I just say wow! Absolutely delicious. I used Pillsbury sugar free yellow cake mix but followed the rest of the recipe exactly and it came out wonderful. The way I did it 1/8 of the cake came out to 315 calories, 15.7g fat, 49.4g carb with 5.7g of sugar, 6.2g of protein. I am an absolute yogurt hater, greek or otherwise, but you don't even know it's in there. The best way to describe this cake is by calling it a cheesecake with a yellow cake crust which is awesome considering the nutrition stats.

Loved the butter cake, but need to know the vital statistics to calculate the points. I know it is less than Paula's, but a posting of the needed info will determine if I can use this recipe again.

I have never had the "original" Gooey Butter Cake, but this version is delicious! I ended up using Philly 1/3 less Cream Cheese and Pillsbury Super Moist Yellow cake mix, since I could not find the Neufchatel cheese or the Organic Yellow cake mix. Really simple to make--what a treat!

i love the original recipe from Paula Deen, i will admit, but do need to lower fats and and calories. this recipe is a stupendous way to do that. the cake was delicious and we did not feel that we were giving up a thing.

I am excited about making this recipe with less fat, sugar and calories. I am disappointed that the statistics that Bobby reveals on the show regarding how many calories, fat etc per serving is not available with the recipe. This statistics are important for me.

Christmas gift ideas
by Tom Cannavan, 12/12
Got enough socks? Don't need another colourful sweater? Can't afford an iPad? Below are a few wine-themed ideas, from serious gifts for the dedicated wine lover, to desirable stocking-fillers. All are bound to go down a treat on the 25th.
Bordeaux Crus
OK, I confess this is the one I might choose for myself. The presentation of this twin pack of two of Bordeaux's greatest wines is beautiful: a finely crafted wooden case with each Château's name branded into the lid, it is pitched as the "ultimate Christmas meal winebox" and I wouldn't argue with that. Containing a bottle of the 2004 from Château Pichon Longueville Baron (2eme Cru Pauillac) and the 2009 from Château Suduiraut (1ere Cru Sauternes), both wines are drinking beautifully now. It would be hugely indulgent to serve the Pichon with the Christmas turkey or rare roast beef, but its classic cedary fragrance, deep fruit and now softening tannins would work well with either. The Suduiraut is one of the stars of the vintage and has real opulence and creaminess, meaning it would cope with a variety of even very sweet desserts, or of course some blue cheese or foie gras. This most indulgent wine box is available from
priced £135.59.
Inside Burgundy
Jasper Morris's magisterial Inside Burgundy was published, to great acclaim, in 2010. The fruit of over 30 years' worth of insider knowledge, the book soon became an essential source for those interested in exploring the region's wines in greater depth - with one caveat. Anyone intent on actual physical exploration of Burgundy would have to tote two kilos of book as they travelled the D974, the road that winds its way through the Burgundian vineyards. Now, publisher Berry Brothers & Rudd has taken the bold decision to reissue the book in five volumes specially adapted for the iPad platform. Wine-pages' columnist Natasha Hughes recently evaluated the ne first instalment - on the Côte de Beaune - and says "I love a traditional book as much as (or possibly more than) the next person, but the interactivity afforded by this iPad version certainly brings something extra to the party. While a book might easily offer the reader glorious full-colour photos, it can't feature interactive maps or videos that allow Morris to explain the quality factors that pertain to certain vineyards in greater depth. As you read through the text, you can also add your own comments on vineyards or producers of interest, or even include tasting notes, allowing you to add personalised layers of complexity to the already thorough text." Natasha also comments that the videos focus on the vineyards, whilst she would like to see Morris, who has a long-term relationship with the region's best producers, interview them in their own cellars. Berry Bros' say that idea that may well be explored in the volumes to come. £14.99 from
iTunes app store
, whilst the book is £50 from
Berry Bros. & Rudd
Cadman on the Case
Another useful source of a gift accessory that could prove inspirational, excellent merchant Cadman Fine Wines also sells a whole range of empty wooden gift cases, holding from one to half a dozen bottles, with luxury options such as hinged oak boxes with linings available too. Wine is not included, but you can of course buy something to fill your boxes from Cadman or indeed supply the contents from your own cellar or elsewhere. Prices start at just £4.99 for a single bottle box, to £14.99 for a six-bottle wooden case with sliding lid or that luxury single-bottle version. See
Chocs Away
If wine accessories and stocking fillers are on your shopping list, the long-time sponsor of wine-pages.com, The Wine Gift Centre, provides not only plenty of choice but a first class, friendly service too. Run by the passionate Paul and Maddie Fenner, every item they sell is personally chosen by them for quality and value. One that would certainly brighten up Christmas morning is the fun, limited edition pack of two
Christmas corkscrews
at £15.00. The Wine Gift Centre is also the importer of the Brix range of Chocolates for Wine. I've carried out my own
extensive taste tests
matching these bars of high-grade chocolate that are specifically made to match different wine styles and am a huge fan.
There's an attractive gift pack
containing four Brix bars available, and on sale for £15 instead of £18 at the moment. Another intriguing stocking-filler idea is the
Decantus wine aerator
at £37.99. Finally, Maddie Fenner has tipped me off about their attractive looking new
glass decanters
, which she tells me are made in the same factory as Spiegelau. The 'Selection' shown right is the most popular seller in the range at £36.00.
Do you know the Bishop of Norwich?
Fine wine specialists Bordeaux Wine Investments (BWI) are making a big thing of their stocks of mature vintage Ports this Christmas with a wide range of top years from the big houses on offer. Pick up some fine Stilton which is so easy to find at the moment and add a bottle or two from this selection for a perfect and upmarket gift that will be so much better than some of the pre-packed Port and Stilton selections that appear in supermarkets at this time of year. From the 1985 Warre or Dow at £45.00, to the 1970 Graham's at £90, the prices are keen.
Riedel deals
On the subject of decanters, don't forget that Riedel UK is offering customers of its online shop £20 worth of gift vouchers with every £100 you spend on it crystal glassware from the Riedel, Speigelau and Nachtmann ranges - but the offer ends 9th December. They also have up to 37.5% off of a range of gift sets of glasses and glass and decanter packs. Details on
Vinopolis in a Box
Vinopolis, London's "wine and spirit tasting experience," on the Southbank has just had a multi-million pound refurbishment. Especially for Christmas they are offering the 'Vinopolis in a Box' gift experience which includes gift vouchers for your own choice of tasting experience at Vinopolis and a bottle of wine, champagne or spirits. The gift boxes can be tailored to your requirements and range in price from £75 - £120, depending on the value of your chosen bottle. There is also a dinner package, which includes two taste experience vouchers, a bottle of whatever tipple you fancy and a three course meal for two in one of Vinopolis' five restaurants. It comes in at between £190 - £250. Gift vouchers are also available for each of Vinopolis' three "tasting journeys," ranging from £27 to £43, which they say also "makes a great day out with the girls." Who am I to say? All of the above are available from
Prestige Champagne Evening
And it might sound expensive at £130 per ticket but don't forget the mouth-watering Champagne evening I and my colleagues in The Wine Gang are hosting on Tuesday 11th December in central London: not only is there a tutored tasting of 10 of the world's top Champagnes costing up to £250 per bottle, but there's delicious finger food being served and a goodie bag to take home that is worth almost as much, or even more than, the ticket price. Each goodie bag will feature books, magazines, crystal Champagne flutes and a bottle of Champagne worth between £40 and £110. Full details from

Since you guys have all been so nice to help me with my poor math
skills, I just had to share this and wish I'd found it sooner. I
wrote to all of my classmates because the next quiz has exactly 10
questions and is again worth 5% but this time each wrong answer
reduces the quiz grade by 10%.
Who knew that there are so many math videos on youtube! This guy is
hysterical. He has what looks like a whole series and might actually
make math fun. I wouldn't have known about this resource unless I
emailed all of my classmates.
Cheryl, breathing a sigh of relief even though my last quiz scored me
a 62% and I'm really not stupid. My brain just doesn't seem to work
this way.

Do you like science? Do you also like to write, to explain things to people - to communicate? Many careers may be open to you that combine these two interests. From broadcast or print journalism to law to medicine, there is a great demand for people who understand science, engineering and technology and can translate it so that all can understand. The public needs to know more about science and technology. But once they complete their high school science, many rely on the media and on science professionals to keep them up to date with advances in research that affect their daily lives. Too many researchers, however, have difficulty in talking about their work in a way that people who are not scientists can understand. To solve this problem society needs people with special bridging skills who can provide a link between science, technology and the public.
Science communicators in all careers at the interface between the laboratory and the public must have a firm understanding of the language of science as well as the ability to communicate. The suggested courses will provide a strong background in both science/engineering and communication/humanities, preparing students to enter exciting careers.
Both the major and minor in Communication of Science and Technology are interdisciplinary. The three 200-level science courses, for example, are to be taken across two sciences, permitting the student to achieve depth in those sciences that most interest him/her. The breadth of engineering options emphasizes various aspects of engineering. Students who plan to continue their studies by entering graduate or professional school can tailor their course of study to the requirements of the graduate program they plan to pursue. For the student who wishes to take more in the communications area, the Department of Communication Studies offers a broad selection of courses.
Students who would like to take a single course that provides an overview of science communication should consider CSET 150 (Special Topics in the Communication of Science) or CMST 237 ( Communication of Science and Technology).
For more information or to enroll in the CSET Program, contact:Dr. David Weintraub, CSET Program Chair

CHICAGO, May 18, 2012 — Protesters gathered at a Chicago Transit Authority el station near Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home this morning. They were starting a morning and afternoon of awareness about mental health issues. They are protesting the closing of several mental health clinics throughout the city, blaming Emanuel.
Several patients and medical professionals affected by the closings were present and were speakers.
The protesters gathered at the el station, some donning hospital gowns, and prepared to walk through the neighborhood, ringing door bells to ask people where the nearest mental health clinic is. The el station is a few blocks from the mayor Emanuel's home. Their direct action was intended to annoy his neighbors.
The protesters were to meet later at Horner Park, just over a mile west, for a rally. It was reported they interfered with and delayed several scheduled athletic events, including baseball and softball games.
After the rally they marched back and rallied on in front of Emanuel's residence, then held a sit down protest. Approximately 300 to 400 protesters filled the street he lives on.
The protesters were peaceful and there was a festive air to the event. The only anger among the protesters came from the speakers and was directed at the mayor's closing of the mental health clinics and spending millions of dollars to bring NATO to Chicago. If there was little overt anger, there was passive hostility in the choice of days for the protest: It is widely known that Emmanuel is a very serious practicing Jew, and the protest was held on the Jewish sabbath. That fact would not have been lost on the pro-cultural diversity, politically correct types who organized the protest.
The police formed a line with bicycles from Emanuel's residence to one half block north. Several protesters tried to taunt and provoke the officers. Most protesters called them "the soldiers of the 1 percent." Police ignored them and stood quietly.
Many of the protesters had "media passes." The passes stated they were "citizen journalist" documenters for Occupy Chicago or whichever Occupy group they represented. Many also had the latest greatest electronic and media gadgetry, all made by the very same corporations they are protesting, corporations which are owned or led by the 1 percent. Some of those corporations are government and defense contractors.
Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the feminist group Code Pink: Women for Peace, participated in the protest. Benjamin is also involved with the left-wing organization, United For Peace and Justice. She is a high profile personality and celebrity in the peace movement. She posed with a pink cardboard cutout of a rifle with flowers coming out of the barrel. She posed for pictures with several people in true celebrity fashion.
Several neighbors we talked to were somewhat blasé about the protest, but they are strong supporters of the mayor and were put out over the protesters disparaging him publicly with profanity.
The mayor's block is a leafy tree lined street with mostly large, single-family homes. Many were built at the turn of the last century or in the late 1800s. The area has a suburban or small town feel to it.
The one incongruity was two ice cream vendors with push carts. They decided to take advantage of the opportunity and practice a little good old-fashioned American capitalism
The protest ended up peacefully. The protesters started to wander off until there were only a few left. They held another sit down at a busy intersection just blocks away. It is unknown whether they wished the mayor "good sabbath" before they departed.

8 V.S.A. § 4818. Contract required
§ 4818. Contract required
(a) No person shall transact business with a managing general agent, a reinsurance intermediary-manager, or a controlling producer as qualified by section 4816 of this title unless there is in force a written contract between the parties which sets forth the respective responsibilities of each party and where both parties share responsibility for a particular function, specifies the division of such responsibilities.
