Driving Futures Corporate Sustainability, Enterprise Holdings Subscribe to this Blog Blog Archive Follow @drivingfutures Follow @drivingfutures Search for: 04/12/2012 Rental Cars, Energy and the Transportation Value Chain By Lee Broughton As previously noted, I attended The Wall Street Journal's ECO:nomics conference in Santa Barbara several weeks ago, where I led a luncheon roundtable discussion about "Urban Mobility and the Integration of Alternative Vehicle Technology." The conference included many presenters, including Daniel Yergin, chairman of the IHS Cambridge Energy Research Associates and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author. Yergin has followed up his bestseller, The Prize, with another provocative book, The Quest: Energy, Security, and the Remaking of the Modern World. So it was no surprise that, a week after the ECO:nomics conference, Yergin's work was noted in the Financial Times, highlighting his focus on new oil and gas exploration opportunities – and the emergence of a "new energy axis" from Canada, through North Dakota and South Texas, past French Guiana, to Brazil's pre-salt fields. And this week a major car rental company announced its first compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicle. Meanwhile, critics continue to express serious environmental concerns about techniques like shale gas extractions, particularly hydraulic fracturing (a.k.a. "fracking"), which can contaminate water supplies. These and other strong points of view make this passionate public-policy dialogue even more compelling and riveting, particularly because there are no easy solutions – only an almost endless number of opportunity costs that must be taken into account. With this in mind, Enterprise Holdings' CEO, Andy Taylor, and I are headed back out to the West Coast next week for Fortune magazine's 2012 Brainstorm GREEN conference. This time, Andy will be participating in a panel discussion about electric cars along with leaders from Honda, NRG Energy and BYD Co. This topic is hardly a new one for Andy, who was named by Automotive News magazine in 2011 as one of the "Electrifying 100" key players driving vehicle electrification. And last summer, he joined FedEx President and CEO Fred Smith at the National Summit on Energy Security in Washington, D.C., where business, military and government leaders convened to discuss the nation's dependence on foreign oil. Andy's point, then and now, remains the same: "When it comes to bringing alternative-powered vehicles to the mass market, the car rental industry is a critical link in the transportation value chain." We are part of today's problem – and, thus, we can and must be part of tomorrow's solution.

New Blueprint of a City: San Jose's 2040 General Planby Leah Toeniskoetter, SPUR San Jose Director
In January 2012, we will launch a SPUR office in San Jose. Our San Jose Director, Leah Toeniskoetter, reports on the city's new Envision San Jose 2040 General Plan. The big idea in the plan is to create urban villages, specific areas that will provide active, walkable, bicycle-friendly, transit-oriented, mixed-use urban settings for new housing and job growth.
The 2011 Election's Real Winner? Getting Back to Basicsby Corey Marshall, Good Government Policy Director
Outside of the much-discussed mayor's race, there were some important items on the ballot this year, and voters appear to have ignored the noise and focused on the business at hand. Here's our take on the election results, and an analysis of how SPUR's recommendations fared in the final count.
Big Plans to Fix Big Problems at Ocean Beachby Ben Grant, Public Realm and Urban Design Program Manager
In late October, SPUR shared with the public a set of draft recommendations for the Ocean Beach Master Plan, a long-range vision for managing coastal erosion, infrastructure, access and ecology on San Francisco's western coast. Of the six big ideas in the draft, here are two that propose the most significant — and most exciting — changes to streets, public spaces and coastal management at Ocean Beach.
What San Franciscans Need to Know About Ranked-Choice VotingBy Corey Cook, University of San Francisco
In the weeks leading up to the November 8 election, San Franciscans find themselves up to their necks in news articles (from the Chronicle , the Mercury News and even The Economist ) about our ranked-choice voting (RCV) system and how the tallying of voters' first, second, and third preferences might affect the outcome of the mayoral election. In principle, ranked-choice voting is simple: If no candidate receives an outright majority of the first place votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and his or her votes are redistributed according to those voters' next choice. The votes are re-tallied, the lowest vote-getter is eliminated, and so on. In what amounts to an instant run-off, this process of redistributing ballots continues until a winner is declared. As someone who studies voting systems (and spends free time poring over data from recent elections), I find the level of interest in...
How to Secure Transportation Funding? Commit to GrowthBy Egon Terplan, Regional Planning Director, and Aaron Bialick, SPUR intern
The Bay Area is in the midst of a major planning initiative to identify where to grow and how to allocate scarce transportation dollars over the next 30 years. City agencies have been consulted in the development of the Sustainable Communities Strategy, but recently they got a chance to respond publicly to the plan and raise concerns about its three proposed growth scenarios. SPUR agrees with much of the city's response, but we differ on a few key points. Namely, we believe San Francisco should absorb a big share of future growth.

To Fix Central Market, Start With a StrategyBy Sarah Karlinsky, Deputy Director
What's the best way to revitalize Central Market? There isn't one way, but many — and they all need to be coordinated with one another. While this sounds like an answer that Yoda might offer, we hope that the folks at the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OWED) don't have to rely on the Force alone to help finalize the Central Market Economic Strategy. The strategy is full of good ideas — and all will need substantial political support in order to be realized.

Home-Based Daycare vs. Preschool
|Related Pages
Preschool versus family daycare for 4-yo
March 2007
I'm struggling with a decision about preschool for my 4-yo daughter. She has been attending a home-based family daycare 3 days a week since she was 18 months old. She loves it there, enjoys her friends and the teachers. The kids range in age from ~1-5 years, and at least half of the kids attend until they move on to kindergarten. They have alot of art activities, singing, cooking, gardening, climbing. I'm confident she's gaining healthy social and emotional skills in this situation and would like to keep her there until she starts kindergarten in Fall 2008. However, I often wonder if she is missing out on something that a more formal preschool would provide. She does receive some basic \x93academics\x94 at her daycare, but it\x92s not structured or consistent. Would it benefit her to participate in a more structured learning environment in preparation for school? I\x92m not looking to push her to excel academically -- she\x92s a kid and I want her to enjoy being a kid. I'm just interested to hear various opinions on this, as I continue to sway back and forth on whether to move her to a less play-based setting. Thanks! Anon
It sounds like your daughter is in a great situation! If she were my child, I would leave here right where she is...Formal schooling is right around the corner. Learning to be 'emotionally healthy' is far more important in my book at this age than learning her letter sounds.
My elder daughter turns four next month. We moved to a new town a few months ago -- instead of enrolling her in an 'academic' preschool (the only option in our former town) we enrolled her in a waldorf-based preschool so that she could do all of the things that your daughter is getting to do. Just tonight my daughter put a stack of books down in front of me and complained that she couldn't read them. Tomorrow we will start reading lessons (she already knows her letters and sounds). That is some special time that we will spend together. But, I will keep her in her Waldorf school until she starts Kindergarten. jan
Keep 2-year-old in daycare or switch to preschool?
June 2006
My son turns 2 this summer, and I've been receiving the Schools newsletter since he was born. I'm starting to think I need some really basic information about what this preschool business is all about. The more I read the more confused I get!
When I was a kid, preschool was what you did in preparation for kindergarten - to practice learning and being away from Mom. Most kids then (where I lived anyway) had been at home with Mom for the 1st 4 years. Now that that's become much less common, I'm confused about the distinctions between daycares and preschools, and could use some really basic advice and/or suggestions about where to find more information.
My son is currently in a family daycare setting 3 days/week. The kids there range from just over 1 to ~3.5 yrs. My questions are: Does this count as ''preschool''? What is the difference between preschool and daycare when the daycare setting does ''educational'' things like letters, numbers, and music? Is it typical/expected/recommended for kids to switch to a real preschool at some point (and if so, when)? Or can you just keep your child in a daycare setting like the one we have now? Are preschools typically full-time or part-time? Finally, what kinds of costs are we looking at? Any and all clarification would be very welcome - thank you! Clueless about preschool
I think a daycare like the one you describe is probably really good until age 4 (or one year prior to kindergarten.) I've read & heard over and over again that children who attend organized pre-school programs do much better in elementary school than those who never did. So, yes, my advice would be to switch to a formal pre- school program at least one year before your child enters kindergarten. They'll be far more prepared for what school really is. Not sure what you pay for daycare, but there are absolutely full time preschools out there - they usually have school-type activites in the mornings (ie: circle time, sharing, art, music, lessons, etc) and then more after-care type activities in the afternoons (rest time, outdoor play, free play, etc.) The price range is pretty phenomenal. I'd start by researching schools near home via phone, asking for info to be mailed to you and then following up with visits -Pro-preschool Mama
My son was lucky to have his grandmother 20 mins. away, so she babysat a couple times a week when I was at work, and he then started preschool at 4 years old. He will have completed his first preschool year this month. After doing some research (including this site), I think that as long as your day care situation is working for you, I wouldn't worry about a structured preschool until he is 4, the year before he starts kindergarten. I think that it's important for kids to be in a school-like atmosphere, e.g., around a bigger group of kids who would be his age, a more structured environment, and a teacher (or two), that is more like being in a school rather than someone's home. My son is in a play-based preschool, so there isn't this huge focus on academics, but there's circle time and little lesson plans about things like bugs and animals, learning to get in line to go outside; similar things they will do in kindergarten. And waiting until he's 4 is plenty of time. Keep him in the daycare for now if you're both happy with that situation. I hope this answers your question about the difference between preschool and day-care. juedepo
One difference is age. ''Day care'' around here generally refers to care for infants and toddlers. Most day care places take kids up until they are 3 yrs old (or 3.5 or so). Most preschools won't star kids until they are 2 years and 9 months. So there is some overlap time. Preschools usually keep kids until they move on to kindergarten (and in some cases, on to first grade). Preschool still serves to get kids ready for kindergarten. I recommend that you find a preschool to visit and you may see the difference (although not all are in session in the summer time) Anon.
Husband thinks preschool would be more stimulating
Sept 2004
Hi, First of all thanks to all of you, from your referrals I found a great family childcare; now I have a problem convincing my husband that this environment is fine for our son. We visited several pre-school/daycares and he was quite impressed by them. He likes the fact that they teach many different things to the children, and feels the family daycare doesn't offer much brain stimulation for the child. I have read articles in the past, where they explained that until the age of five, there is not much need to emphasize a school setting. I tend to agree, I feel that at this age they are learning so much already, and all they need is plenty of love and attention, plus he will have several kids to play with and the lady sets time aside to read to them and sing. Most of my siblings and I didn't attend a pre- school until the age of five, and we all grew up very interested in reading and learning. Does anyone have any advice or links to websites you could recommend?? I'll like to print information for my husband so he feels at ease. Angela
While I agree with most of what you are saying, that socialization is the key until a certain age, the benefit of preschool is to introduce them to a school setting--the order of things, following a specific schedule, being expected to sit in one place, etc. etc. If you wait until they are five and entering kindergarten, they may have a more difficult time transitioning to the ''school setting'' I think family daycares are great, but at age 3 my daughter was clearly ready for ''school.'' Just my two cents
Preschool or day care for 2-year-old?
April 2003
I work MWF and my son is with another boy and a nanny during that time. The other little boy is going to preschool in Sept, and I need to find alternative arrangements come Sept. He will be 2 in Nov. He is very out going and I feel that he is emotionally ready for a more stimulating environment.
I have researched preschools quite a bit, and since I am so late in the game, I cannot find a preschool that is close, that I feel comfortable with and that has a schedule that can accommodate me. I am still searching. I have considered 2 options....put him in a preschool that is not one of my targeted preschools, and then move him next year to one of the ones that I have targeted, or put him in day care near my house and then move him to a targeted preschool the following year.
Here are my questions...I have heard that it is not good to move a child at that age around, so should I continue to look for a preschool, and although it may not be convenient or one of my targeted schools, keep him there for consistency sake? Should I stick with a nanny situation until the following year? Should I put him in preschool or day care and then move him next year?
I am looking for any advice you can provide, including the names of preschools or day cares you recommend that may have openings in the Rockridge/South Berkeley area. Thank you. jennifer
Have you considered a family day care? We put my daughter in a small family day care two days/week when she turned two. Our other child is 4 and goes to preschool. When we entered into the arrangement with the daycare provider, we were clear that she would be moving on to preschool the following year. It's working out great. She hangs with 5 other kids (ranging from 18 months to 3 years) in a very loving environment. I feel it's perfect for her now, but she will be too ''old'' for it when she's 3. I know of many family/small day care situations that follow the same formula (i.e. take care of children up to preschool age). Try checking out Bananas or the ChildCare Newsletter for recommendations, or contact me and I can tell you more about our day care. Laurel
My older son is a very outgoing kid, but I waited to put him into preschool until he was over three. He was in a happy day care situation and I didn't want him to have to grow up faster than he wanted. At the time it seemed like a bit deal to me for him to be forced to conform with an imposed schedule (eating or naping at a specific time regardless of his needs), be rushed in his potty training, dealing with multiple care givers, etc. In retrospect, and when considering what I will do for my younger son, I don't know if will make the same choice a second time around. While the imposed schedule still seems harsh for a two year old to me, my experience watching the little ones at my son's preschool is that they are happy, having fun, and doing well... and potty training happening sooner rather than later doesn't seem so bad either.
As far as recommendations go, have you looked at Claremont Day Nursery? They have three branches; one in the Rockridge area. We really love the Kensington school, and I would imagine the others are very simillar. They have part time as well as full time programs, including short days, or three day a week arangements. Rose
I am a big fan of family daycare. Both of my kids had a (shared) nanny until about age 2 or 2.5, then attended a family daycare for a year, and then transitioned to preschool. The family daycare was a great situation for both of them -- small, intimate, loving, and yet able to provide more social experiences and resources than a sitter. Overall, a great mid-step between the closeness of a nanny and the resources of a preschool. When I first shopped for a preschool or daycare for my oldest, I found that 2yos seemed happier in small family daycares than in preschools. Yes, there are certainly many, many exceptions out there, but overall, I think a family daycare of 6 or 12 kids is a wonderful middle ground that works well for lots of toddlers. In short, if I were in your shoes, I would prefer daycare to a preschool EVEN IF you could already get into your favorite preschool. I wouldn't worry too much about creating too many transitions. A year is a long, long time for a 2yo. It's not like you'll be wrenching him from one ''home'' to another on a weekly basis. (That said, if your son is very slow to adjust and has a very hard time learning to trust new caretakers, you will probably disagree.) As for how to locate a family daycare, call or visit Bananas in Oakland. They can give you the names of all the family daycares in your area. Judith
Not sure about their openings for Fall, but in the Rockridge area I can enthusiastically recommend Claremont Day Nursery (director: Tom Morabito at 658-5208) on College Avenue for 2 year olds. They also have two other locations in Berkeley and Kensington, so maybe another can accomodate you if College Ave is full. I was going to wait until my son was 3 (next Fall) to start him in school, but we decided with the impending arrival of a new baby this summer to start him at 2.5. Several of our other friends started their children at 2 also at this school, and they have been very happy here, depending on their respective levels of readiness and history of interaction with other children. The two year olds are in a small class (7 or 8 students max per day,) but also get to interact with and learn from the older kids throughout the day. Mornings only, full day, and flexible schedules are available. The teachers all seem incredibly competent, experienced, and caring people to me, and our son actually asks to go to school every morning, even though he is only enrolled three mornings a week at this point. Another nice feature for a busy parent is that they feed your child a hot lunch every day, even if you are only a morning student, so that is one less thing to worry about when you pick them up. cheryl
I was in your same situation with my 2 year old last year when our share left the nanny situation to go to preschool. We bit the bullet and went ahead to preschool. I am very glad we did. Our daughter was really ready for more stimulation than her beloved nanny, and although the initial transition was rough (as we found with just about every new child in the school). While I would leave her there with both of us in tears the first few weeks, we have been thrilled with the results ever since. She is very happy, has become more outgoing, is talking more and isd becoming more social and extroverted. She enjoys her new little friends, and I enjoy meeting them and their parents as well. Our world has expanded far more than it could have in our nanny situation (although we still see our former nanny frequently). While I wish we would have kept the nanny for a few more months, I have no regrets about our decision.
Claremont Day School may have part time openings coming up in the next few months. The staff is so loving and wonderful, particularly with the younger children. I have seen them holding smaller kids and really giving them the kind attention that they have been accustomed to prior to coming to school. I think that sending a child to preschool is really tough no matter when you do it. However, if you find a good school with teachers who love and comfort the kids as they adjust to their new situation, it is probably not all that much tougher than adjusting to a new nanny share situation and then another new preschool.
I would also urge you, however, to keep in touch with your targeted preschools in the event that an opening becomes available and you need only make one transition. But then again, you might find an alternative that is even better for your situation. Best of luck! -- Been There
Hi, Our daughter turned two this past November and she's been going to Bari Nelson's home-based pre-school (on Cragmont in No. Berkeley) since September. It's been a fantastic experience for her. Bari is really fantastic with kids and she works with another woman to provide a terrific experience for them. She also brings in someone for music twice per week which my daughter has really enjoyed.
We will be sending her to Beth El Nursery School starting this Fall because we want to add some Jewish education to her nursery school experience. I'm not too concerned about the transition from one to the other especially since she'll know some of the kids in the new pre-school.

Effective November 4, 2013, the Federal Reserve Banks are amending Operating Circular 4, Automated Clearing House Items.
Key changes made by this amendment include the following:
- Indemnification language throughout the operating circular has been standardized.
- Paragraph 3.6 was revised to make clear that a sending bank designates an entity as its agent for sending items to a Reserve Bank rather than a sending point (sending point refers to a device, not an entity). Conforming changes were made to paragraph 7.4 in relation to the designation of an entity as agent for receiving items from a Reserve Bank.
- Certain changes were made to reflect the expansion of the FedACH® SameDay Service, which now offers same-day settlement of domestic credit and debit items for both corporate and consumer payments. Specifically, paragraphs 2.1(q), 3.4(b), and 14.3, as well as paragraph 5.1 of Appendix B, were revised.
- Appendix A (ACH Security Procedures)
- Paragraph 2.4 was revised to delete references to the FedLine® DOS access solution, which is no longer offered.
- Appendix B (ACH Items Time Schedule)
- Paragraphs 1.3 and 5.2 were revised to reflect the decommissioning of the FedPhone® access solution.
- As mentioned above, paragraph 5.1 was revised in connection with the expansion of the FedACH SameDay Service. The FedACH SameDay Service now includes all Standard Entry Class codes, with the exception of International ACH Transaction (IAT), Check Truncation Entry (TRC), and Check Truncation Entries Exchange (TRX).
- Appendix F (FedACH® Information Services)
- Paragraph 1 has been revised to clarify which services are included in the suite of FedACH Information Services and which terms and conditions apply to each service.
- Former paragraph 1.2 has been moved to paragraph 3.3 and expanded to cover settlement of billing charges for FedACH Information Services.
- Paragraph 2.1 now provides a definition of customer, which applies across all FedACH Information Services. Consequently, the definition of customer formerly appearing in Appendix F1 has been deleted.
- Paragraph 2.2 defines the term nonpayment file, which refers to an electronic file containing ACH transaction-related information that is sent to or from the Reserve Banks for informational purposes only, thereby distinguishing such a file from one that contains ACH items for clearing and settlement.
- Paragraph 2.3 defines the term information point, which is a device designated or used by a bank to send or receive nonpayment files, much as the sending point or receiving point is the device from which or to which payment files are directed.
- The definition of service participation point has been moved to new paragraph 2.4 from paragraph 4.1 to consolidate all the definitions in Appendix F.
- New paragraph 3.4 provides that banks that use FedACH Information Services thereby agree to the terms of Operating Circulars 1 and 5.
- The substance of former paragraph 3, which described the FedACH Information File Service, has been moved to newly created Appendix F3 (FedACH® Information File Service) and revised as described in greater detail below.
- New paragraph 5 governs many of the aspects of sending and receiving nonpayment files, including designating an information point and information point agent.
- Appendix F1 (FedPayments® Reporter Service)
- The title of this appendix and the reference to FedEDI® Plus in paragraph 1.1 were revised to reflect the change in the name of this service to FedPayments Reporter from FedEDI Plus. Paragraph 1.1 was further revised to align the service description more closely with the output the service generates.
- Paragraphs 2.2 and 3.2 were revised to make clearer that reports generated by the service may contain information from both payment and nonpayment files.
- Paragraph 4 has been reorganized. It is now less prescriptive about how customers request scheduled reports. New paragraph 4.2 provides that the Reserve Banks may require that a nonpayment file identify whether the customer sending the file was the sending bank or the receiving bank for the ACH items contained in that file.
- Appendix F2 (RDFI Alert Service)
- Paragraph 1.1 was revised to give a receiving bank the option of allowing the Reserve Bank to select the criteria for triggering RDFI alerts.
- Appendix F3 (FedACH® Information File Service)
- As mentioned above, the terms specific to the FedACH Information File Service, formerly in paragraph 3 of Appendix F, have been moved to this new appendix. This was done to help distinguish it as a separate service from the general terms in Appendix F that apply across all FedACH Information Services. The new appendix uses the newly defined terms nonpayment file and information point. Paragraph 1.3 specifies how and where the FedACH Information File may be sent.
- Appendix G (Cross-Border Items)
- Paragraph 2 has been revised to expand the warranties a Reserve Bank acting as a gateway operator for outbound cross-border items gives.
- Paragraph 3 has been revised to modify the warranties a Reserve Bank acting as a gateway operator for inbound cross-border items gives. Specifically, such a Reserve Bank will no longer warrant that the item is in accordance with an authorization of the receiver but will instead warrant that the item is received from the foreign gateway operator.
- Paragraph 4 has been revised to provide that a claim for breach of warranty under Appendix G brought against a Reserve Bank acting as a gateway operator must be initiated within one year from the date of the transaction or occurrence that gave rise to the claim.
- Paragraph 5 has been revised to clarify sending bank and receiving bank risks and responsibilities. Among other things, paragraph 5(d) makes clear that a sending bank bears all risk associated with the return of a cross-border item, including any fees charged for processing or returning items. Paragraph 5(e) makes clear that a sending bank bears all risk associated with the misuse of information provided by the Reserve Banks or others in connection with the processing and settlement of cross-border items. Importantly, paragraph 5(f) narrows to debit items only the warranty regarding receiver authorization given by a sending bank when it sends a cross-border item. Paragraph 5(i) reserves the right of the Reserve Banks to identify additional sending bank and receiving bank risks and responsibilities in the FedGlobal® ACH Service Origination Manual.

National Catholic Reporter is one of four media outlets that asked Silverstein to unseal the documents. The Providence Journal of Providence, R.I.,The New York Times, and the Associated Press are the others.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A Rhode Island judge has agreed to delay the release of records related to the Legion of Christ to give the Roman Catholic order time to appeal his ruling that unsealed the documents.
Superior Court Judge Michael Silverstein on Friday agreed to give the Legion until Feb. 15 to ask the state Supreme Court to intervene. The documents are from a lawsuit contesting the will of a woman who left the Legion $60 million.
Silverstein ruled Wednesday that the documents should be unsealed, despite the Legion's concerns that they could taint a future jury.
The Associated Press and other media organizations asked Silverstein to unseal the documents.
The Vatican took over the Legion in 2010 after determining its late founder had molested seminarians and fathered multiple children.

Battle of New Orleans bicentennial spurs large-scale re-enactment
By Jonathan Kaminsky
CHALMETTE, La. (Reuters) - Huddled around a Louisiana campfire on Thursday, a man dressed in the rumpled clothes of an American militia member from the 1815 Battle of New Orleans put in historical perspective the frigid night he had spent in a nearby tent.
Alabama farmer David Latham was among 1,500 people gathered in the New Orleans suburb of Chalmette to re-enact and commemorate the bicentennial of the final battle of the War of 1812, when American forces led by Andrew Jackson routed the British.
"What we go through is nothing compared to what they went through," said Latham, who is representing a member of the Tennessee Militia who defended the Americans' left flank and picked off British opponents with his rifle.
"They were cold, hungry. They hadn't eaten."
Beginning Friday evening, the participants, some of whom have traveled thousands of miles to join in the event, will recreate the five clashes that comprise the Battle of New Orleans, which some historians say was key in making the British honor the terms of a peace treaty signed in late 1814.
"If the British had won, we may not be in America right now," said Martin Sutton of the Louisiana Living History Foundation, which helped organize the event. "We may be part of the British colonies still."
In the course of the three days of re-enactments, 18 cannons will fire across a recreated "Line Jackson," a protective wall of wood and dirt the Americans built in a single night.
All told, the battle left more than 2,000 British and fewer than 30 Americans dead, wounded or missing. Continued...

Chris Rock talks death threats
Chris Rock said people threatened to take his life after he spoke out on gun control issues.
The 49-year-old comedian joined fellow celebrities like Tony Bennett and Amanda Peet in Washington D.C. last year to voice support for President Barack Obama's gun control agenda.
Chris reveals soon after vocalising his sentiments on the issue, some people were so irate with his stance they threatened to take his life.
"I went to D.C. There was like, some rally about gun control," he recalled on Chelsea Handler's talk show Chelsea Lately.
"So I went down there and I, you know, spoke a little bit about, a little bit on gun control. And then I got all these crazy emails and texts back from people cursing me out on my website, like, 'I'll kill you! I'll kill you, you bastard, I'll shoot you in the head!' And I was like, 'You know what? This ain't worth it.' You need a machine gun to go against the gun people!"
Chris owns firearms, but he doesn't think the powerful killing machines should fall in the wrong hands.
"Hey, I have guns … I've got all kinds of guns, man, fun guns, love guns," he joked.
"I'm not like a gun ... like, 'Get rid of all the guns,' but I just don't think people should have machine guns in their house."
Chris will host the 2014 BET Awards, which take place in Los Angeles on Sunday.
And although Jay-Z and Beyoncé are up for trophies, the funnyman previously revealed he'll be saving most of his cheers for more lesser-known talent.
"I'm rooting for everybody," he told People magazine. "It's weird because I usually root for the person whose life it'll change the most. I love Beyoncé, but she'll be fine whether she wins or not. I root for the little people."

He first rose to prominence as a lawyer in Queens, who settled a boiling racial dispute over public housing in Forest Hills.
The first in line, 35-year-old Ben Hur of Queens, had been there since 5:30 p.m. the previous day.
A 14-year-old Queens girl was killed by a stray round while riding a city bus.
Firefighter Thomas Wylie had embarked from their Queens home to Ladder 18 in Manhattan.
But one thing was clear: he could not aspire to the love of one of the Queens of Earth.

Old English cwen "queen, female ruler of a state, woman, wife," from Proto-Germanic *kwoeniz (cf. Old Saxon quan "wife," Old Norse kvaen, Gothic quens), ablaut variant of *kwenon (source of quean), from PIE *gwen- "woman, wife" supposedly originally "honored woman" (cf. Greek gyné "a woman, a wife;" Gaelic bean "woman;" Sanskrit janis "a woman," gná "wife of a god, a goddess;" Avestan jainish "wife;" Armenian kin "woman;" Old Church Slavonic zena, Old Prussian genna "woman;" Gothic qino "a woman, wife; qéns "a queen").
The original sense seems to have been "wife," specialized by Old English to "wife of a king." In Old Norse, still mostly of a wife generally, e.g. kvan-fang "marriage, taking of a wife," kvanlauss "unmarried, widowed," kvan-riki "the domineering of a wife." English is one of the few Indo-European languages to have a word for "queen" that is not a feminine derivative of a word for "king." The others are Scandinavian: Old Norse drottning, Danish dronning, Swedish drottning "queen," in Old Norse also "mistress," but these also are held to be ultimately from male words, e.g. Old Norse drottinn "master."
Used of chess piece from mid-15c. (as a verb in chess, in reference to a pawn that has reached the last rank, from 1789), of playing card from 1570s. Of bees from c.1600 (until late 17c., they generally were thought to be kings; cf. "Henry V," I.ii); queen bee in a figurative sense is from 1807. Meaning "male homosexual" (especially a feminine and ostentatious one) first certainly recorded 1924; probably here an alteration of quean, which is earlier in this sense. Queen Anne first used 1878 for "style characteristic of the time of Queen Anne of Great Britain and Ireland," who reigned 1702-14. Cincinnati, Ohio, has been the Queen City (of the West) since 1835.
(also queen it) To behave in a refined and haughty way (1611+)

Appeals court upholds gay marriage bans, reversing trend
By Fiona Ortiz and Lawrence Hurley
(Reuters) - A federal appeals court on Thursday bucked a recent trend of pro-gay marriage decisions by upholding state bans or restrictions in Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee, pressuring the Supreme Court to take up the issue.
The 2-1 ruling, by the Cincinnati-based 6th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals, is the first ruling by a federal appeals court that upholds bans on same-sex marriage. Gay marriage advocates said they would immediately seek U.S. Supreme Court review.
The high court, if it agrees to hear the case, could potentially issue a decision by the end of June saying once and for all whether any states can ban gay marriage.
In Thursday's ruling, the appeals court upheld gay marriage bans in Kentucky and Michigan. It also ruled that Ohio, Tennessee and Kentucky are not required to recognize gay marriages that take place in other states.
Judge Jeffrey Sutton, appointed by Republican President George W. Bush, wrote the majority decision and said plaintiffs favoring same-sex marriage had not made the case why courts should intervene instead of leaving the matter to state legislatures.
"When the courts do not let the people resolve new social issues like this one, they perpetuate the idea that the heroes in these change events are judges and lawyers," he wrote.
It is preferable, he added, that courts defer to "the customary political processes, in which the people, gay and straight alike, become the heroes of their own stories."
Judge Martha Craig Daughtrey, the three-judge panel's lone Democratic appointee, in a dissenting opinion criticized the majority's ruling, saying it read like "an engrossing TED Talk" neglectful of its own impact on gay and lesbian couples. Continued...

Drunk Crafting: Leave It To Professionals
We're feeling so jacked about Dallas Handmade Arts Market, it makes us want to just … tip back our heads, belting "With Arms Wide Open" to the heavens. OK, nothing would make us do that.

Each week, an ever-changing roster of as many as 50 local artists will squat at booths (art-makers, you can rent one for a single weekend or multiples) and invite you to enjoy a little piece of local flair.

BRANSON, Mo. — It's a good bet that the top pros in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open circuit had their calculators out Friday night, crunching numbers to see if they would be one of five who qualify for the 2012 Bassmaster Elite Series.
The pros who did not weather the Friday cut of the Oct. 20-22 Table Rock Lake tournament have earned all the points they can. A few of those pros are still in contention for an Elite invitation. Topping that short list are Chris Zaldain of San Jose, Calif., No. 1; Jared Miller of Norman, Okla., No. 4; and Kevin Ledoux of Choctaw, Okla., No. 5.
That's according to the interim points standings after two competition days. Points aren't awarded or final until Saturday after the final weigh-in.
The anglers who did make the cut, the ones who can earn more points, could possibly knock out Ledoux or Miller. Zaldain, who entered the Table Rock event as the points leader, is reasonably safe for a top-five.
Miller did not stick around Branson. He had to get back home to get ready for the Nov. 3-5 B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Championship.
"I drove home last night," he said Saturday morning. "I'll watch the outcome online (at Bassmaster.com)."
Zaldain was fishing on Bull Shoals, one of the 2012 stops on next season's Elite trail, on Saturday morning. He plans to track the outcome of the points race on the Internet on his cell phone. He admitted he spent time Friday night on his calculator.
"The two in the top 12 who are threatening my points leader position are James Niggemeyer and Tommy Martin," Zaldain said. "I did some quick math, and I think I'm good. We'll see what happens after today. I believe I'll make the Elite Series, and that was my goal, what I'm here for."
Points leaders who were fishing Saturday included Niggemeyer, of Van, Texas; Martin of Hemphill, Texas; and Casey Scanlon of Lenexa, Kan.
Niggemeyer, who qualified in 2006 through the Opens to join the Elite Series in 2007, already has a 2012 Elite ticket earned through the 2011 Elite season. Even if he double-qualifies Saturday, his 2012 Elite seat would officially be counted as through the Opens.
Another goal is in Niggemeyer's sight. He's at Table Rock to win a Bassmaster Classic berth under the 2011 win-you're-in rule. He could claim the berth, too, because he has fulfilled the requirement of competing in all three Central Opens to be awarded the Classic seat.
The final points tally for the season will be posted after Saturday's weigh-in, which will begin at 4:15 p.m. CT at the Bass Pro Shops location in Branson. Streaming of the weigh-in will begin about 3:15 p.m. ET.

I have super sensitive skin, lots of allergies (I take so much medication to control allergies and asthma it's not funny, plus I tend towards skin rashes and itching if I use harsh or strongly perfumed stuff).
Garnier's leave-in made me so itchy it was not funny. It also bothered my face.
I started getting some itchies from CIAB.
I'm sensitive to oranges, so I worry when I see citrus oils in stuff. Not all items with citrus oils bothers me, and I suppose it has to do with the accumulations of scent ingredients or irritants.
I wish more products offered unscented options, cause that would simplify things.
I also can't use any sunscreen. I've tried a gazillion and they all give me a rash. So, I gave up on them. I resort to parasols when needed

Foggy Headlights (Inside) Looking Like A Thing Of The Past ...
2 Attachment(s)
All props to blackedout5 for the DIY write up that inspired me. I'm halfway done with the project (driver side headlight near completion) & I'm already happy with my decision to remove the lens from the housing to restore luster to the headlamps.
The 2nd picture is after a light wash & buff. The lens is reattached or sealed yet. The orange reflector is still out awaiting black paint. And I cut the lens out that was in front of the turn signal bulbs. Reason being ... the bulbs began flaking orange paint all over that mirror in there & I wanted to clean it out. Thinking of leaving it off. Tomorrow I will use a rubbing compound to get rid of the swirls, then use PlastX to bring them to a nice shine. I'll seal them back with the same material & method used by blackedout5. I'll post more pictures and then, finally, some more of them reinstalled. Peace, 'Fest!!
Wow looks great man I need to get mine done also
@allaboutdaz ... I swear that you could do this yourself. I was very intimidated @ first but the DIY really gave me confidence. I knew that I couldn't afford to foul this up becuz I plan to use my extra money for a DVD Nav & facelift MMI upgrade. I'm not a very handy person. In fact, I paid an auto body shop to take the bumper off. I figured, one less thing to mess up.
Congratulations...... Nice work.
It's something I've been planning for ages.... and has to be done.
Just one question, did you have to cut the lenses in front of the turn signal indicators or just dismantle them without damage at all...
Mine's are quite foggy too, thinking of discarding them..
Could you please post some more pictures??????
Thanks a lot!
@javier1605 ... I'm not sure if I had to cut it or not (the tabs were buried under that rubbery seal) but I did ... And I don't regret it. It's such a clean look without it. They put a plastic turn signal cover inside a plastic lens. Of course that would look blurry. I'll post some more pics in the evening. Busy day today.
5 Attachment(s)
Oh, I already had these pics of the semi-final stages of the process. Still unsealed without the painted sidemarker but you can still get a feel of where they're headed from where they came ....
thanks again for your job!!
P.D.: I have seen someone in this forum that has painted the interior to match the colour of the car.... Looked good. I'm thinking of painting it in satin black or wrap it with carbon fiber.....
big difference and looks nice
I purchased a $50 Dremel from Home Depot & bought a smaller bit with saw-like teeth. The fact that it was smaller was better for me becuz it reduced the chance for error. I took apomerans advice on the cutting technique. He posted it on blackedout5's post about his headlight job. I cut behind the lip everywhere except where it was impossible due to the design of the housing. On those points, I cut on top of the lip. Once the cut was complete, I began to break the lip away with a flathead screwdriver. Easy to break but won't just come off due to the rubbery BMW seal. Just peel it.
After the edge of the plastic lens is mostly visible, I go @ the seal with a box cutter. Couple inches @ a time, just running the blade through until its relatively snag free. @ some points, your gonna have to insert a flat tool and gently pry up on the lens to stick a blade in there to cut the seal. After a while, parts of the lens will show signs of detaching. Focus on those parts & cut from there. Before you know it, the lens will be off. That's the most difficult part. How you clean & what you clean the lens with is your preference. Compounds, headlights restoration kits and the like. I sealed them back with a generous amount of black gasket seal on the point of detachment. Taped them up, let them cure, then put them back in.
One thing to look out for is ... you'll probably have to unscrew the ballast or whatever that is on the bottom of the housing to make a proper cut. Be careful of how you put it back in and make sure that the connections are free of debris from the job. Also, be careful of the reflector on the inside of the headlamps. I thought it would be wise to make sure that the interior was flawless before reattaching the lens. Went to hit it with Windex ... Yikes. Luckily, before doing any real damage, I noticed the mirror like paint was rubbing off. Please don't make that same mistake. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward. Good luck guys!!
Could I use toothpaste to clean my head lights or is that not recommended ?

Why Carl Wilson Hates The National
The National has gained a following of fans who admire the group's considered, thoughtful songs. One of those fans is Soundcheck host John Schaefer. He counts the Brooklyn indie band as one of his favorite things about the New York City music scene in the last decade. As it turns out, he's in good company: Last week, the National's sixth album, Trouble Will Find Me, debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and sold 75,000 records -- a career-high for the band.
But one person out there was not looking forward to hearing the album. In his recent Slate.com piece "Why I Hate the National," Toronto-based music critic Carl Wilson writes that the band makes him feel like rock music "has died and gone to graduate school." On Soundcheck, he told John Schaefer about the reasons — or rather, the emotions — behind his ire.
Carl Wilson, on hating The National on first listen and sticking to his guns:
That initial, gut-level reaction is a really valid part of our reactions to music. At the same time as we need to re-examine our prejudices and make sure we're not judging things out of hand, there's some sense of being true to yourself and allowing yourself to have the emotions that you have — [even as] people are trying to talk you out of your reaction.
On his perception that The National's music lacks a requisite amount of emotion:
It's all this sort of feeling like someone's done their homework and written a very well-put-together explanation of an emotional state, and then some very talented musicians have gotten together and made some nice-sounding arrangement around it. But the energy to me is always in that contained way. For an artist, there needs to be something more than just executing the job at hand competently.
On his feeling that Trouble Will Find Me blends together:
Even when I find something a little prettier or more compelling — I talked about the song, "Demons," on the new album as something that I do find more commanding — at the same time, it all ends up turning into the same grey slurry in my mind an hour later.

What's your opinion on Controlled Crying?
This article discusses how Controlled Crying can have a detrimental effect on a baby's health (such as increased heart rate) and emotional state (possibly due to the raised stress hormones during crying). What's your opinion after reading this article? For me, I am sad that it has become such a popular method of getting a baby to sleep. I meet a lot of parents who believe it is the only way for a baby to go to sleep.

The book Isabella's Garden is very well written and there are amazing drawings. It goes thorough all the seasons, and on the winter pages Jack Frost appears and I thought that was the best picture. I like the way the rhyme gets longer and longer but always end in Isabella's garden.

The documentation at /dev/ is undergoing review and consolidation. This is probably an ongoing process.
There are three main purposes for this documentation:
Explanations for committers and contributors, especially for new committers, so that PMCs and Infra can easily refer to online documents to answer the recurring FAQs.
Procedures for PMCs. We need to encourage PMCs to do as much as possible to help themselves.
Procedures for people trying to assist with Infrastructure operations.
For the committer documentation we should have very specific documents which directly meet their needs. For the other two groups, we could have the top section of each document describing PMC tasks, while the bottom section is for Infra.
The /dev/index.html has been divided into sections and links placed for each separate topic. More topics to come.
Many of these links point to non-existent documents. Gradually we are adding new documents which just link to the scattered information. The next step is to move the content into the relevant docs and enhance it. We need to be careful about broken links, because much procedural information refers to those scattered pieces.

Ipad as sailing instrument....
Hello everyone,
I am on my second year sailing and leatning a lot! -:) I am thinking of upgrading my electronic although I have a smaller sailboat (Tanzer 7.5). I looked at Garmin and Furano for depth, wind and speed. However, I know some sailer are using Ipad as GPS. I am thinking of using my iPad not so much as GPS but instead of using it as my depth sounder and wind meter/ speed meter. Anyone done this? what about cost? It needs to be WIFI right? How to get this on water?... so many question.... Thanks for your help!
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
Welcome to SailNet, Coolsailing.
You will find lots of threads about using the iPad, apps, etc. for sailing. Here's one thread:
If you Google "Sailnet ipad" (no quotes), several others come up as well.
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
Yes, many use it for a GPS because it has a built in receiver. Certainly, they don't have depth transducers nor anemometers. Perhaps there is a way to connect them via bluetooth, but it would be new to me.
Ipad as sailing instrument....
I talked with the folks at dmk yacht instruments about this at the Seattle boat show. They have a wifi device that is NMEA 0183 and NMEA 2000 and Seatalk compatible. Combined with their iPhone and ipad apps is does just what you are asking about.
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
Thank you everyone for the fats response.
Using the GPS capability, I would be able to obtain both speed and positioning.
1. You are saying that I could actually connect a transducer for the depth to the iPad or will it show using the GPS capability on the iPad?
2. Same for the wind? How does it work?
I know, I have too many questions...
What u need are the transducers to get the depth and wind data. If you do that with nmea compatible instruments you can get them sent via wifi to an iPad. That will require something that sends that data via wifi. This currently will probably cost you as much as a entry level instrument sail pack. After you have that having the data sent to an iPad is doable. What you also have to worry about is powering the devices and since it's done via wifi having something create a wifi network like a computer. For a small boat that may be alot of power requirements. There may be other options but from my research this is what may be involved. Raymarine and I think simrad have an iPad app that allows you to see the nmea data on their network. You still have to get their instruments and build that network so it's not in addition to the instruments not instead of.
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
IMHO, you are betting off using something small, cheap, waterproof, and designed for boats than you are using an iPAD.
I used to have a Lowrance 3.5" color GPS unit that came with high quality charts and a fishfinder / depthfinder. They still make a similar unit, the Lowrance Elite 4:
Elite-4 - LOWRANCE | Marine Electronics
It costs around $300.
For wind display you will need to purchase a separate unit. A less expensive unit, like from Moor Electronics
is around $400.
good luck,
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
They sell a waterproof cover for $30.
Re: Ipad as sailing instrument....
Coolsailing, I'm by no means a minimalist sailor, but it would be a lot less expensive to teach yourself how to read the wind without instruments. It's a good thing to know in case your electronics fail but not something one usually thinks about doing when all the conveniences are in front of you. We lost our windvane to a bird a few years ago and I don't miss it at all. I have wind apps but they don't tell me what's happening immediately around my boat. I record Beaufort scale readings in our log and rely on how the wind feels.
That said, I've used a netbook for navigation until this season when I'm going to experiment with the Garmin app on my iPad. I found a waterproof case to mitigate some of that risk.

IVF and breastfeeding podcast
Hi all,
Just listened to a fantastic podcast from an Australian Breastfeeding Association councellor who breastfed through ivf treatment. She goes through all the most common drugs and the situations where it may be appropriate to not wean. See http://mumsright.libsyn.com/ivf-and-breastfeeding
My ivf-concieved daughter is now 11 months and breastfeeding fairly frequently (about 5 times per day) so this topic is of particular interest to me and may be helpful for others considering fertility treatment for second and subsequent children.

Soapbox Climber
Ah, America! Sweet land of indulgence and comfort, where the cornucopia never says no and our waistlines stretch from sea to shining sea.
We're not giving ourselves a pass here: our writers' room is where high-fructose corn syrup goes to die. We put away more Zingers and Fritos than all of sub-Saharan Africa.
But maybe America could be something else. Maybe there's still time to set our elephantine body politic panting and jiggling toward a new way of living. Clif Bar & Co. are part of the new, healthy wind blowing across the land of the flab and the home of type-2 diabetes, and they're doing it from right here inside our borders.
Clif Family Winery's The Climber Chardonnay is like Clif Bar or LUNA in Chardonnay form, except for the flavor. And the ingredients. And the nutritional value. What's left? The sustainable, natural Clif ethic, that's what.
Turns out the Clif ethic smells and tastes like tropical fruit and Granny Smith apples. Flavors of citrus, apple, and pear with a luscious finish bring your palette to a soft landing, like those giant pillows they put at the bottoms of mountains for you to land on when you fall off.
What? They don't do that? And any idiot who's ever been rock climbing would know that? OK, you got us. We're part of the problem.
But Clif is part of the solution – a delicious part, as The Climber Chardonnay vividly illustrates. Maybe someday, our current news stories about the obesity epidemic will seem as quaint to future generations as the carnivorous-foot-fungus scare of the 1980s. And maybe someday, choking down half a box of Ho-Hos on your way to McDonald's will seem downright un-American.
Just give us a warning first, OK?

Samuel Lane, The Fire
Samuel Lane uses his gift of music to lead the listener on an intimate and passionate journey of worship. The beauty of The Fire is that it is an extremely accessible worship record that can be adapted to almost any setting. The lyrics and melodies are simple enough that a congregation can follow, but the simplicity in no way diminishes this gospel-centered album. Samuel's honesty in worship and apparent heart to serve God and the Church with his music is beautiful. These songs are simply prayers put to music.
With a style that very listenable, Samuel has a humble grace about the way he writes and sings. "Take Me With You" sets the tone for the rest of the album with an attitude of sweet surrender and trust in Jesus. Moving through this record's songs, "Fiery Love," "Adore Him," "Fall Afresh," and "You Are With Us" are all standouts.
More: Samuel's songwriting ability paired with his heart to lead the Church in the Worship of God fuse perfectly to create a beautiful, artistic and useful worship record for the Church.
Less: Much of the record has the same musical tone and dynamic; a bit more sound diversity would strengthen it.

Don't be misled; the final budget is worse than it looks
by Chris Fitzsimon, NC Policy Watch and NC SPIN panelist, June 20, 2017. Most of the initial headlines about the final budget agreement announced Monday afternoon by legislative leaders were ones they could have written themselves, touting raises for teachers and state employees, a cost of living increase for state retirees and hundreds of millions […]
Budget builds on conservative success
by John Hood, Syndicated Columnist and NC SPIN panelist, June 21,2017 North Carolina House and Senate leaders have just fashioned a compromise budget for the 2017-18 and 2018-19 fiscal years.

Editorial by Greensboro News-Record, June 23, 2017. The "Raise the Age" campaign took on a tough challenge and was remarkably effective. The new state budget transfers responsibility for most 16- and 17-year-old offenders from the adult correctional system to juvenile jurisdiction. That's a progressive step approved by a conservative legislature. The typical law-and-order response is […]

INDIANA BOROUGH: Farmers' market plan voted down
The Indiana County Farmers' Market will not be moving on Wednesdays this summer to the new IRMC Park along Indiana's North Seventh Street. And that decision by borough council Tuesday adds to speculation from at least one source that the popular outdoor market may move out of the borough and into White Township.
Established in 2009, the farmers' market is a venue for local vendors only to sell produce, flowers, baked goods, dairy products, meats and crafts.
After lengthy discussion and three identical split votes, council Tuesday ended an effort that started a few months ago to move the Wednesday market from its current location in the parking lot at the northeast corner of Eighth and Church streets to the new plaza-like setting near Indiana's main intersection.
During the public comment period at the start of Tuesday's council meeting there was more input — pro and con — for allowing the market to use IRMC Park from 2:30 to 6 p.m. on 19 Wednesdays June through October. North Seventh Street between Philadelphia Street and Nixon Avenue would have to be closed between those hours if the market was set up in IRMC Park.
Borough resident Tom Miller said the additional congestion and noise from the market might be disrespectful to grieving families and might disrupt funeral services at Robinson-Lytle Inc. funeral home along North Seventh Street.
"I don't like to see it being jeopardized," Miller told council. "I believe it deserves extra respect" like churches or the hospital.
Laura Jeffrey, a spokeswoman for Indiana Regional Medical Center, said when the outdoor plaza was conceived, it was originally referred to as "the people place." The farmers' market, she said, is not alcohol-driven but rather is a family and community event.
"It's a good thing … to keep in the borough," Jeffrey said. "Where we're at now is possibly losing it not from South Eighth Street but from the borough."
Jim Resh, a director for the farmers' market, confirmed this morning that the directors were looking for "viable locations" that would provide growth potential for the market.
Chloe Drew, who was a community volunteer for the market and now also serves as a director, has told council several times that vendors were turned away on Wednesdays last summer because there was not enough room for everyone who wanted to participate. And Tuesday she gave council a list of signatures of farmer-vendors who supported moving the market to IRMC Park.
Businessman Tim McQuaide delivered to council a petition with the signatures of 412 people in favor of moving the market to North Seventh Street.
"Why did you allow development of the park if it's not going to be used?" McQuaide asked.
Councilman Ross Bricklemyer made a motion to close North Seventh Street between Philadelphia Street and Nixon Avenue to vehicles from 2:30 to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays from May to September, with no mention in the motion of any purpose for the closing.
Councilman Gerald Smith offered an amendment to the motion that would have added the phrase "except for vehicles authorized by the borough," which might have cleared the way for farmers' and vendors' trucks to get into the park to unload their food and wares.
Councilwoman Julie Adcock offered an amendment that would have added the phrase "for the purpose of the farmer's market" to the end of Bricklemyer's motion.
The original base motion and both proposed amendments were defeated by identical 7-5 votes.
Opposing all three were Bricklemyer, Nancy Jones, John Petrosky, Tom Thompson, Larry DeChurch, Richard Thorell and John Hartman.
Voting in favor of the original motion and the proposed amendments were Smith, Adcock, Donald Lancaster Peter Broad and Katherine Hood.
Following the meeting, council President Jones said the Indiana Borough Police Department performed a traffic count on North Seventh Street on two Wednesdays in March during the afternoon hours when the street would have to be closed if the farmers' market was held there. On those two Wednesday afternoons 553 and 621 vehicles used North Seventh Street, Jones said.
"For some of us (on council), that was the turning point … when we saw the impact of the closing" on traffic flows, especially during the late-afternoon rush hours, Jones said.
And she said previously that holding the farmers' market in IRMC Park would also result in some overtime expenses for the borough because a street crew employee will have to be called out after normal work hours to take down barricades on the street.
