Christmas in Spain whispers in, not with the shout that takes place in the United States. There is no demarcation day like Thanksgiving when stampedes charge the stores. Few Santas, sleighs, or elves run about. A gentle bustle is on the streets minus the franticness.
Most of the shop windows are not dressed in Christmas finery until the second week in December. Some never have the Christmas look.There is little red and green décor. One sees orange and brown, green and brown, and lots of gold ribbons, wrappings, and swirly things.
Silver and black are common Christmas colors. Add to this color theme varying sizes of mirrored disco balls. Long live disco . Black and white feathers fluff in spheres, hanging garlands, and at the feet of mannequins. I am hoping the feathers come from pigeons. I hear little of the drone of Christmas carols in every store. However, I teared up in one store as Frank Sinatra sang a slow "Jingle Bells." I will miss my family and friends in the States for the holidays.
Let us know what you experienced at Christmas in Spain.

The challenge, of course, is scouring 609 square miles to track down the best spas, salons, and shops. So we asked some of our favourite Brits — and a few British lovers, too — to let us in on their favourite beauty and shopping spots. Here's the best from supermodels to makeup artists to fashion designers. The Supermodel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My recommendation for hair colour goes to Jo Hansford in South AudleyStreet, W1." — Elizabeth Hurley, model, actress, and designer Source: Getty 1 / 13 The Trend Spotter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "London girls definitely have their own aesthetic, preferring matte, highly pigmented lips, smoky eyes, luminous skin, and nail art. London girls love music. They always dress up and make a special effort with their makeup when going to a gig. I love catching some music at the Bush Empire or the Roundhouse in Camden. London is full of inspiration, but my favourite way to find inspiration is going out! I love watching girls spilling out of the pubs on a Friday eve in Soho — John Snow or Experimental Cocktail Club are great little finds. In East London, I like George & Dragon." — Louisa Maaldrink, Topshop senior makeup buyer Source: Getty 2 / 13 The Gourmet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "For us, London is all about dinner and then the Dorchester for tea. My husband is from Newcastle, so we stop on the way — have a romantic night in London and then move on to Newcastle." — Milla Jovovich, model, singer, and actress Source: Getty 3 / 13 The Style Counsel What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "How would I spend my perfect day in London? Breakfast at Inn the Park with the children to start my day on a high, before swanning down to Harrods for a thoroughly relaxing facial at Crème de la Mer. In the afternoon, hopping in a car to meet my husband Marc in Mayfair for a delectable lunch at 34, with enough time to whiz around Selfridges for a whirlwind shopping spree. Finally home to dine with the family." — Charlotte Stockdale, style editor for Jo Malone London 4 / 13 The Denim Dynamo What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "My go-to London spa is Zen, Notting Hill Gate. It's pretty unassuming from the outside but has the best massages in London — especially for pregnancy, as the beds have special tummy holes. It is my one major indulgence as I fly so much for work. It helps kick jet lag every time. "For boutiques, I'm a massive fan of Merchant Archive (pictured) on Kensington Park Road. It has the most wonderful edit of clothing and vintage pieces and feels just like you are walking into your dream wardrobe. "My ultimate beauty indulgence is facials at Linda Meredith — a couple of times a year before a big occasion. It is a tiny salon, unmarked, through a door on Beauchamp Place in Knightsbridge. It takes years off and is the ultimate in pampering." — Chloe Lonsdale, founder and designer of MiH Jeans 6 / 13 The Jet-Setter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I love a department store for makeup shopping, to have all the brands under one roof so you can go from counter to counter, testing colours and textures on the back of your hand. Harvey Nichols is my favourite, as it has everything from Tom Ford to Shu Uemura. Heathrow Terminal Five Duty Free is also excellent for makeup browsing." — Emma Lovell, makeup artist Source: Getty 6 / 13 The Model Visitor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "There's this one tiny little spa that I always go to. It's a total hole-in-the-wall, and it's my top secret place to go. I don't even know the name of it, but I always sneak in when I'm in London." — Karlie Kloss, model Source: Getty 7 / 13 The Haute Coiffure Creator What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Urban Retreat Beautique is the best. They're situated in Harrods — I opened my salon there, too. I also love the Turkish bath for men in Dalston." — Charlie Le Mindu, hair stylist and wig maker 8 / 13 The Skin Savior What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "The House of Rush in London's Piccadilly (pictured) is a hair and beauty salon with award-winning stylists and innovative treatments. It's a real must go for beauty fans with Rodial's brand-new Sculpt Facial, the top treatment on the list. For a fabulous blowout, I recommend Josh Wood Atelier. With a celebrity clientele, the results are always fabulous. Plus, it's centrally located, so it's really convenient if you're in need of a quick fix." — Maria Hatzistefanis, founder of skin care brands Rodial and NIP + FAB 9 / 13 The Polished Entrepreneur What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Hershesons blow-dry bar in the Topshop flagship store is blow-dry heaven. Choose from one of the looks, and you're done in around 30 to 45 minutes — and I have lotsof hair. All the team are great, fast, and super-cool. It's the most efficient blow-dry in the UK — as long as the Topshop clothes don't delay me!" — Thea Green, founder of Nails Inc. 11 / 13 The Girl About Town What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Walking around London inspires me endlessly. I love all the bridges that connect the south of the river to the Embankment, especially Waterloo Bridge, where both the Parliament and city skylines echo through the clouds. "And the MAC Cosmetics located on the third floor of Selfridges London is a stunning makeup hideaway. The counter is situated amongst women's designer wear and has a less hectic, more relaxed vibe. Besides shopping for product, our one-on-one services include makeup application, makeup lessons, bridal makeup, and lash applications. This MAC counter is a pure luxury that shouldn't be missed." — MAC Senior Artist Cher Webb 11 / 13 The Face Painter What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "I love the Sjal facial at Beauty Works West [pictured], using sapphires for body and soul! I also love a facial by Skinesis." — Charlotte Tilbury, makeup artist 12 / 13 The Born-in-Britain Stylist What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 "Spa London York Hall Leisure Centre is a luxurious experience at an affordable price. Try the hot stone massage. "I love the Champagne bar at Claridges. Beautifully designed with an Art Deco ambiance, choose from the widest varieties of Champagne in all of London. "And in Notting Hill, there's The Porcester, one of the last remaining Turkish spas in London.

BOSTON (AP) - The long-awaited murder trial of reputed Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger is set to begin this week.
The 83-year-old Bulger was once a feared man accused of running the violent Winter Hill Gang. Prosecutors say he played a role in 19 murders over two decades and they plan to have his former cohorts testify against him.
The infamous gangsters on the witness list include Bulger's former partner, Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi, hit man John Martorano and former Bulger lieutenant Kevin Weeks.
Bulger's lawyers have made it clear they will attack the men's credibility. They received reduced sentences in exchange for their cooperation.
The judge will hold a final pretrial conference Monday before jury selection begins Tuesday.
The trial could last three to four months.

- Can patent trolling be thwarted by award of attorney fees? SCOTUS accepts two cases on fee issue
U.S. Supreme Court
Can patent trolling be thwarted by award of attorney fees? SCOTUS accepts two cases on fee issue
Posted Oct 2, 2013 11:07 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear two cases on the award of attorney fees in patent cases, including one cast as an avenue to deter frivolous litigation by patent trolls.
The cases give the Supreme Court a chance to decide what constitutes an "exceptional case" meriting an award of attorney fees to the prevailing party in patent litigation, the Recorder reports.
The cert petition (PDF) in Highmark v. Allcare Health Management Systems asks the court to decide whether the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit must give deference to a judge's determination that a patent claim is objectively baseless. Under the test used to identify exceptional cases, cases must be objectively baseless and brought in bad faith.
"This petition arises from a patent-infringement case of the sort—in the district court's own words—'that gives the term "patent troll" its negative connotation,' " the cert petition says. The petition characterizes the health-management patent claim by Allcare as "vague" and says the company exists only to license the patent through the threat of litigation.
Highmark argues the Federal Circuit wrongly used de novo review. "The issue presented also has tremendous practical importance," the cert petition says. "Litigation by patent assertion entities, sometimes called 'patent trolls,' now accounts for a majority of all patent cases. The threat of an exceptional-case finding is a crucial deterrent to meritless suits designed to extort licensing fees."
The second case, Octane Fitness v. Icon Health and Fitness, is "something of a sleeper," the Recorder says. The case stems from a routine, unpublished decision over the standard for determining exceptional cases meriting attorney fees. Octane's cert petition (PDF) alleges that Icon "hatched a plan to extort royalties out of Octane with a weak patent case" concerning the rails on an elliptical training machine. Though Octane won the infringement suit on summary judgment, the company was unable to recover $1.3 million it spent defending itself.
Octane argues the difficult two-part test to obtain attorney fees is not justified by statute or precedent, and it encourages spurious patent cases. The standard "has strayed from the statutory 'exceptional case' mandate, resulting in a standard that is near-impossible to meet, and serves no deterrent value," the cert petition says.

I've been a Disturbed Fan since I saw them in concert back in 2000 on the Ozzfest second stage. Their previous three CD's with The Sickness, Believe, and 10,000 Fists, where all amazing, and I've since seen them two other times. With the release of Indestructible it was hard to believe they could come up with a better album, they have definitely pulled through. They brought back a bit of the electronics in this one, and as well as giving Dan more room to move with more guitar solo's, the drums are awesome, David's vocals are incredible with how much emotion and showing the same intensity that was there in The Sickness. If you are any bit of a metal head, you'll love this album.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Originally, I bought this for my bf, but I like it just as much as he does. He's more into the metal thing, yet this really impressed me. Songs like the title track and "The Night" are just amazing. "Haunted" and "Enough" speak to us on another level, giving us that deepness that Disturbed does so well.
This band goes from strength to strength. From the raw and energetic early works of Believe and Sickness the new album Indestructible delivers a very polished and powerful (and slightly darker)sound. The distinctive drumming of Mike Wengren is as prominent as ever and David Draiman's Vocals still command centre stage. The title track gives an explosive entry into the album and it never lets up from there. I'll be the first to admit no one song really stands out, but that is more from the album being such a complete compilation than any one song being better than the other. Worth every cent…. looking forward to seeing them live again (for the 2nd time) down under in a couple of months. Buy it!
Indestructible says it all about Disturbed, they are Indestructible. Disturbed went all out on Content of their songs from Insanity, Death and Suicide on their lead Single, "Inside the Fire". Disturbed is starting to push new boundaries songwriting wise and with their sound. Their one of the bands that have successfully distance themself from the label, "Nu-Metal".
Disturbed has done it again in their most Angry, Violent, Sinister and Darkest album yet. With the talents of David, Dan, John and Mike you already know that it'll be amazing. But in Indestructible they have pulled out all the stops and revived the elements of their Best selling Triple Plattinum album "The Sickness." As well as the calmer style that was featured in their second album "Believe." In this album David tends to sing about things related to his past. Such as the song "Inside the Fire," where he sings about an incident of suicide. In "The Night," he sings about giving in to the darkness. And in "Indestructible," he sings about war. Mabye some people would be a little sceptical about this but I certainly recomend the album. One things for sure, with the release of their fourth album Disturbed truly is "Indestructible."

The Los Angeles Lakers made an attempt to make a low-key move, but were unable to put together a deal good enough to land Daniel Gibson.
Eh, I understand why they'd sign Greg, there's always a need for 7 footers. But Reeves? Interesting. It looks like he may get a 2nd chance. It's going to be and uphill battle though, he has to compete with Morris, Glock and the rookies for a roster spot.
Whats up Lakers fans, remember me? I'm back with another illustration of Kobe Bryant that I wanted to share with you all. Definitely check out this and more and let me know what you think. Here's to a speedy end to the lockout. -Dustin
Coach Nick sits down for an insightful interview with Lakers assistant coach Bill Bertka. Topics range across the history of basketball.
Whats up Lakers fans? I'm a writer/illustrator over at Bright Side of the Sun and am currently doing a project where I am doing 30 illustrations (1 player from each of the 30 NBA teams) over 30 days. While, as a Suns fan, I was tempted to do an illustration of Theo Ratliff when it came to the Lakers, day 10 features your own Kobe Bryant and I thought I'd share it with you. Feel free to visit and check out this and more as well as follow the project. Comments are welcome and appreciated. -Dustin
Sorry if this has already been posted somewhere, but I just ran across this and thought it was a neat pic. I remember someone talking the other day about Marvel comics and something about the NBA (sorry, I can't remember who it was exactly). Anywho, this is ESPN The Magazine's NBA Preview cover and goes with that Marvel theme. I don't subscribe to ESPN the mag, so I won't actually be getting this issue, but I thought the cover picture was pretty cool.
Story and photo showing Kobe Bryant's interaction with fans, while leaving the team's facility during Monday's training camp workouts. Kobe definitely provided some memories for these people who braved one of the hottest days in LA history.

Regular attendance is important for your child's success and progress. Please avoid unnecessary absences. Leaving school early or arriving late is a part-day absence. When students are out of school, they miss important group lessons, some of which cannot be duplicated. If your child misses a literature discussion, for example, there is no way to give a "make-up" lesson. Even when make-ups are possible, they often are less effective and they take your child and the teacher away from other activities.
- Schedule family vacations during school breaks. Our school calendar will make this easier, and whenever possible, routine medical and dental appointments should be scheduled after regular school hours.
- Being on time to school is essential. School begins at 8:15am for Primary, Elementary and Middle School students and at 8:30am for Toddler students. Students who are late are considered tardy and miss valuable class time. Make every effort to get your child to school on time.
- Absence and Tardy: Absences and tardies are recorded in your child's permanent school record. NOTE: Three (3) unexcused tardies equal one (1) unexcused absence.
- Excused absence: A parent will call the office on the day their child is absent or send a note on the day his or her child returns to school indicating the reason for the absence.
- Unexcused absence and /or tardy: No phone call from and/or written notification is received from a parent indicating the reason for the absence or tardy.
- Excused Tardy: A parent will accompany his or her child to the office and obtain a tardy slip. A parent will need to explain the reason for being tardy.

New Pledge Rewards Added in Final Days of Chris Claremont's X-men DocumentaryA comics news article
With five days to go as of this post, the Kickstarter campaign to fund the Claremont X-men documentary has added additional incentives to charitable comic fans with deep pockets. With 8 different levels of donation rewards, the creative team that brought you Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods and Warren Ellis: Captures Ghosts have added two extra levels of rewards: A question to Chris Claremont that might end up in the movie and a free lunch with the filmmakers at the home of the X-men, Westchester County, NY.
During his 17 years writing X-Men / Uncanny X-Men, from 1974 to 1991, Chris Claremont took the title from the brink of cancellation to being the best-selling comic of all time, co-creating more iconic characters than any comic book writer since Stan Lee. Over the course of his run,Claremont remained remarkably fluid, changing with the times as writers like Alan Moore and Frank Miller reshaped comics.
While stories like "The Dark Phoenix Saga" remain popular to this day, the impact and legacy of Claremont's run remains widely unexplored. Today, the "X-books" remain a massive franchise that spans comics, movies, and TV, but for most of the '70s and '80s, they were one man's vision.
The film, produced in a partnership between Sequart Research and Literacy Organization and Respect Films, will dive into Claremont's monumental run on X-men. Focusing on behind-the-scenes origins of X-men characters and story arcs, the film hopes to bring to light the process and limitations of creating art in a corporate environment.
Featuring interviews with Chris Claremont, Louise Simonson, Ann Nocenti, Art Adams, and Jim Shooter as well as contemporary artists Matt Fraction, Jason Aaron, and Chris Bachalo.

August is filled with getting the kids ready for school and warm summer vacations. Whether you are looking to be refreshed and renewed for the coming fall or the kids need a getaway, you shouldn't have to worry about your money being safe.
Traveling during the summer can mean worrying more about getting your card number copied or overcharged due to increased travel fraud. Keeping your money safe while traveling is a priority for Iowa State Bank and we offer many services that can help you do so. We have compiled a list of tips to keep in mind while traveling anywhere the rest of the summer.
Tips for keeping your money safe while traveling:
- Get a travel card from Iowa State Bank. A travel card can be loaded with the amount of money you need, so you are not worried about having all of your money with you on a trip. It can be reloaded as you need more money.
- Protect your important documents and papers. A money pouch can be helpful while traveling because they can be concealed under clothing. Most of the time, money pouches look discrete so you do not attract attention, like a fashionable purse would
- Keep valuables at home or out of your purse. You may need to bring your nice watch or other valuables with you, but it is best practice not to keep nice items with you. Nicer clothing and jewelry can attract thieves.
- Keep a variety of ways to pay with you. Have a bit of cash as well as a credit card, so you're not completely out of luck if something happened.
- Avoid travel scams. No matter where you travel to, there is a potential for scams of all kinds. Some of these include pickpocketers, time shares, beggars, etc.. Always be aware of what is going on around you.
Traveling is a great experience and you can keep it that way if you stay aware and ready for anything. Please contact Iowa State Bank today about a travel card for your next vacation and to let us know where you're headed and for how long.

We took this photo just before we left to go to Ulleung Island - off the coast of Korea - for a spring break mission trip. The kids did dramas, led music, share their faith, ministered to elderly people and so much more! They were so proud of their team shirts!"

Bulgarian woman and Pakistani man from Tooting jailed for foiled sham marriage in Morden Register Office
Updated 4:10pm Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Becky Middleton, Chief Reporter
A bride and groom arrested at the altar just moments before they could say 'I do' have been jailed.
Members of staff at the Merton Register Office in Morden raised the alarm when they noticed little interaction between Pakistan national Arfat Hussain, 24, and his Bulgarian 'bride' Aneta Kaleeva, 25.
Immigration officials from the Home Office swooped on the couple minutes before the ceremony was due to begin.
The scheming pair was jailed for eight months at Croydon Crown Court after both admitting one charge each of knowingly and willfully making a false oath to procure a marriage certificate or licence.
The judge ordered two further charges of facilitation to remain on file.
The court heard how Hussain, of Selkirk Road, Tooting, was attempting to marry Kaleeva in order to gain leave to remain in the UK as the spouse of a European national.
Blushing bride Kaleeva, of Garner Road, Walthamstow, is said to have attempted another sham marriage with a 28-year-old Bangladeshi man whose leave to remain in the country had been curtailed.
The court heard how that marriage was cancelled at the last minute and the groom voluntarily left the UK shortly afterwards.
Hannah Shirley, from the Home Office Immigration Enforcement Criminal Investigations team, said: "We are working closely with registrars to clamp down on sham weddings and civil partnerships. "These convictions are examples of the success that we are having.
"Where there are suspicions that a relationship may not be genuine we will investigate and, if necessary, intervene to stop it happening."
The fake ceremony was due to take place on Friday, January 3. The hearing at Croydon Crown Court took place on Wednesday, January 22.
Anyone with information about suspected immigration abuse can contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 anonymously or visit http://www.crimestoppers-uk.org.

Minnesota and Rhode Island Begin Celebrating Same-Sex Marriages on August 1
In the same way that young people eagerly anticipate the arrival of their next birthday, August 1 marks the inaugural date on which same-sex couples can celebrate their love with legal marriages in Minnesota and Rhode Island. Rhode Island, the last New England state to pass same-sex marriage and begins weddings at 8:30 a.m., and Minnesota, which has weddings scheduled to begin across the state beginning at midnight, bring the total of U.S. states with same-sex marriage to 13 (plus the District of Columbia). Freedom to Marry estimates that 30 percent of Americans live where same-sex marriage is legal. Click here to read more about what's planned in these two states on the historic day.

Palm Center Launches Three-Year, $1.35 Million Study on Trans Military Service
The Palm Center, a research institute that managed research on the 'Don't ask, Don't tell' (DADT) policy that was integral to the law's successful repeal, has received a three-year, $1.35 million grant to study transgender service in the U.S. military. The composite study will investigate "whether and how the U.S. Armed Forces could include transgender troops without undermining readiness" and will be driven by Palm Center's Transgender Military Initiative. It will be conducted as 11 academic research studies by 16 commissioned scholars who will probe issues including privacy, medical accommodations and the experience of foreign militaries and sports programs. Today, U.S. military regulations call for transgender and transsexual service members to be discharged if they are discovered or disclose their status. DADT only affected gay or lesbian service members. Click here to read the BuzzFeed report that broke this story.
Pope Francis Says "Gay" for the Second Time, Perhaps the First Pope to Say "Gay"
By the time you read this, you will likely have read many interpretations of Pope Francis's words spoken during the impromptu news conference he held on the Papal plane en route to Rome from Rio. While he said several sentences in response to a question about the prospect of gay priests, the quote most cited is: "If a person is gay and seeks the Lord in good will, who am I to judge?"

Two Lesbian Couples Challenge Oklahoma's Same-Sex Marriage Ban after DOMA Ruling
Since The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) struck down Section 3 of DOMA on June 26, 2013, previously dormant lawsuits and new ones are coming alive. Among them is a challenge to Oklahoma's state prohibition of same-sex marriage by Mary Bishop and Sharon Baldwin, and Susan Barton and Gay Phillips, the latter married in California, who are urging U.S. District Judge Terence Kern to issue rulings in Bishop's and Barton's 2004 suit filed in a Tulsa federal court. The case was stayed for more than a year, pending decisions on others in queue for consideration by SCOTUS. The couples filed a legal brief to Judge Kern, alleging that Oklahoma's marriage ban violates their fundamental right to marry and the exercise of liberties inherent in such fundamental right. The suit also challenges DOMA's Section 2 (which allows states not to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states – often called portability). ACLU and Lambda Legal will file a federal lawsuit seeking to end the ban on marriage for same-sex couples in Virginia on August 1, but details are not available at presstime, pending two news conferences to outline the litigation. Click here to read about all currently pending cases regarding same-sex marriage in many states, a list compiled by constitutional law expert Nan Hunter of Georgetown University Law Center and UCLA's The Williams Institute.
U.S. District Judge Issued Court Order Requiring Ohio to Recognize Same-Sex Couple's Marriage
James Obergefell and his dying spouse, John Arthur, both 47, were "blown away" when a judge issued a court order mandating that the State of Ohio recognize their marriage performed in Maryland on July 11. The Cincinnati couple, partnered for 20 years, spent $13,500 to wed there with funds mostly donated by friends and family members who wanted the couple to be able to access the needed medical equipment and services for Arthur to travel for them to be wed legally. The couple married aboard the plane as it sat on the tarmac before returning to Cincinnati the next day. The favorable outcome following them suing to be recognized as married in their home state was matched by the global messages of support they received. Arthur is dying of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS,) also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Obergefell told a Washington Blade reporter, "We're blown away, we're thrilled and happy to show the world that we're people too. We're just like your neighbors, just like your kids. All we want is exactly what you have." Arthur's death certificate must denote that he's legally married and Obergefell is his surviving spouse. Obergefell said the judge's decision was "surprising, gratifying and just incredible."
Report Finds that Adding Same-Sex Marriage in Hawaii Could Generate $200,000 A Day In Revenue for the State
With states struggling to boost their revenue base as they weigh how to boost local services, University of Hawaii economics professor Sumner La Croix released a report on July 25 showing the potentially positive economic impact if marriage equality passed in The Aloha State. The report demonstrates that if Hawaii's legislature would pass same-sex marriage, the state could add $217 million in hospitality and tourism gains and $10.2 million in tax revenue from 2014-2016, which represents about $200,000 per day. The study also warns that if Hawaii does not seize the window of opportunity, then it would lose that potential revenue to other states that already offer marriage equality.
Federal Government Favorably Resolves Complaint Filed by CA Transgender Student
On July 24, the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights and U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division announced a resolution to a complaint filed by the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) on behalf of a transgender student in California's Arcadia Unified School District. The resolution requires the school district to treat the student as male in all respects and keep his transgender status private. The school district also agreed to revise its policies to ensure that all students who do not conform to gender/sex stereotypes, including transgender students, have equal access and opportunity to participate in all of the district's activities and programs. District-wide training for personnel and students will support the policy revision, and a qualified, mutually agreed-upon expert will oversee implementation. The student and his family—who asked that their names not be made public--filed a complaint with OCR and DOJ in October 2011 when the school district required him to sleep in a cabin by himself instead of allowing him to room with his male peers on an overnight field trip. The DOJ and DOE's Office of Civil Rights issued a letter, clarifying that it should not be cited or construed as a formal statement. The letter named Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964's "prohibition of sex discrimination, to discriminate against transgender individuals based on sex, including nonconformity with sex stereotypes and gender identity." The letter also cited Vandy Beth Glenn's case in which she successfully challenged anti-transgender discrimination by the Georgia legislature and Mia Macy's case favorably resolved EEOC case when it decided in April 2012 that Title VII's sex discrimination and sex stereotyping ban includes discrimination based on gender identity.

Senate's Veterans Affairs Committee Passes Same-Sex Military Spouse Benefits Bill
The Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee advanced the Charlie Morgan Military Spouse Equal Treatment Act on July 24. The bill, introduced by Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), seeks to align The Department of Veterans Affairs with the June 26 SCOTUS ruling that struck down Section 3 of DOMA by expanding veterans' benefits eligibility for same-sex couples who are legally married. It is named for now-deceased veteran Charlie Morgan and seeks to provide for her family the same veterans benefits afforded opposite sex married veterans and their dependents.
Restore Honor to Service Members Act Seeks Honorable Discharge for Gay and Lesbian Veterans Removed during DADT because of Their Sexual Orientation
On July 25, Congressmen Mark Pocan (D-WI) and Charlie Rangel (D-NY) introduced the Restore Honor to Service Members Act which has 106 cosponsors, including Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL). The bill would streamline the process of reviewing the discharge classification of the 114,000 veterans who left the military due to and during DADT because of their sexual orientation, dating back to 1993. Many gay service members released during DADT received general or other than honorable or dishonorable discharges. Dishonorable discharge is considered a felony in some states. Discharge classification can impact a veteran's civilian employment consideration, access to vote, approval of unemployment benefits, GI Bill participation or receiving veteran benefits including healthcare, disability and ceremonial burial rights at federal or military cemeteries.
U.S. House Appropriations Committee Makes Milestone Step: Approves Bill Amendment to Study HIV Criminalization; Next Step Would Be Vote by Full U.S. House
The U.S. House Appropriations Committee on July 17 voted to include an amendment to the FY2014 Commerce-Justice-Science Appropriations Act that would direct the Department of Justice to review state and federal HIV criminalization statutes and make recommendations to Congress on its findings. Authored by long-time HIV/AIDS legislative champion Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-TX), the action is an important step forward which would lead to the request by HIV/AIDS advocates urging the U.S. House to bring the Amendment to the Floor for a vote. The Committee-approved Amendment's text follows:
Modernizing laws with respect to people living with HIV/AIDS. The Committee is aware of the position of the President's Advisory Council on AIDS (PACHA) that current criminal laws require modernization, should be consistent with current medical and scientific knowledge and avoid imposition of unwarranted punishment based on health and disability status. The Committee directs the Attorney General, within 90 days following enactment of this Act, to initiate a review of Federal and State laws, policies, and regulations regarding criminal and related civil commitment cases involving people living with HIV/AIDS. The Committee further directs the Attorney General, no later than 180 days from initiating the review, to make best practice recommendations to ensure such policies do not place unique or additional burdens on individuals living with HIV/AIDS and reflect contemporary understanding of HIV transmission routes and associated benefits of treatment.
Is it Law or Not? U.S. Government Posts U.S. Code – Set of Current U.S. Laws – Online for All to Access
Most of us who work for workplace equality by advocating for ENDA have heard that 90 percent of people surveyed in the U.S. already believe that there is already a law that prohibits employers from discriminating against LGBT Americans based solely on their sexual orientation or gender identity. We who work for ENDA know it's not true. But that makes us among 10 percent. From today forward, you can see all current and enacted U.S. laws from your computer or smart device by visiting http://uscodebeta.house.gov/download/download.shtml. It's easy to verify that establishing workplace equality against discrimination is not yet in the U.S. Code as law but full inclusion against hate crimes is. While the 51 Titles and five appendices that comprise current U.S. Code are printed by the U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) every six years, updated as appendices each year by the Office of the Law Revision Counsel (OLRC) of the U.S. House of Representatives, you can right now access online the full set of in-place U.S. laws, organized into titles based on subject matter. And if you want to see past laws, those that are out-of-date, fret not: you can see previous editions of our nation's laws here: http://uscodebeta.house.gov/download/priorreleasepoints.htm.
Passed State Bills Still Await Governor's Signature in California and New Jersey
PFLAGers and other constituents in California and New Jersey reached out in July to Governor Jerry Brown in California and Governor Christie in New Jersey to sign into law bills that were passed strongly by both chambers of their respective legislatures, and both bills still await that signature. California's Assembly Bill 1266, the School Success and Opportunity Act passed on July 3. It would afford transgender and gender non-conforming students the ability to access in accord with their gender identity or expression athletic teams and other separated accommodations in their schools. New Jersey's S2278/A3371, sent to Gov. Christie for signature on June 27, would prohibit discredited sexual orientation change efforts, a bill that would protect LGBT youth.
Dear Policy Matters:
I know that Obamacare is coming in 2014. I have insurance now, but I worry that if I lose my job and need to use Obamacare, I won't know what to do. It seems like I hear so much about it but don't really understand the issues...especially as it relates to the LGBT community. What do I need to know?
Insured But Curious
Dear IBC:
Yes, we encourage you to bring us any questions you have about health reform or LGBT health any time. Beginning in this issue, and moving forward at least through part of next year, we will have a section on healthcare reform or LGBT health. This issue lays a backdrop on general important information. In future issues of Policy Matters, look for special emphasis on LGBT Health, including that in healthcare reform or Obamacare.
For now, let's look generally at some key items, dates and offerings in Q & A format.
Q: What is Obamacare, and is it the same as the Affordable Care Act?
On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law comprehensive health reform, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, which is commonly called Obamacare. So, yes, they are the same thing. The law aims to do three things: expand coverage, control healthcare costs, and improve healthcare delivery systems for better patient health outcomes.
Q: In 2014, will everyone have to buy health insurance?
Effective January 2014, most people will need to have health insurance. Some exemptions were written into the law, and for those who are not exempt, they will need to pay a penalty if they are not insured. Insurance coverage may include employer-provided insurance, coverage someone buys on their own (including in the general marketplace called the Exchange), or Medicaid for those who qualify.
Several groups are exempt from the requirement to obtain coverage or pay the penalty, including some in low income brackets, people who qualify for religious exemptions, undocumented immigrants, people who are incarcerated, and members of Native American tribes. Click here to see an easy-to-use chart.
Q: How can people prove they have insurance?
Health insurance plans will provide documents to people they insure that will be used to prove that they have the minimum coverage required by law.
Q: What is a Health Insurance Marketplace, and how can I find what's available in my state?
Health Insurance Marketplaces (also known as Exchanges) are new organizations that will be set up to create more organized and competitive markets for buying health insurance. They will offer a choice of different health plans, certifying plans that participate and providing information to help consumers better understand their options. Beginning Oct. 1, 2013, you will find at www.healthcare.gov which health insurance plans are available where you live. You will be able to select your state at the site, explore different plans based on your personal needs and preferences and receive assistance that you've come to expect on websites or phone lines to guide you and help you choose what's right for you.
Q: Can children be on their parents' health insurance plan in the Exchange?
Yes. The health reform law contains a provision that requires private insurers to continue dependent coverage of children until age 26 (through age 25; it ceases on the child's 26th birthday). Department of Health and Human Services regulations specify that a young adult can qualify for this coverage even if he or she is no longer living with a parent, is not a dependent on a parent's tax return, or is no longer a student. Both married and unmarried young adults can qualify for the dependent coverage extension, although that coverage does not extend to a young adult's spouse or children.
Q: What are guidelines for people with pre-existing conditions?
Starting in 2014, all health insurers must sell coverage to everyone who applies, regardless of their medical history or health status. At that time, insurers will not be allowed to charge more to individuals with pre-existing conditions, nor will they be able exclude coverage of those conditions from the insurance plans they sell.
Since September 23, 2010, the law has provided new protections for children with pre-existing conditions. Insurers cannot deny coverage to children due to their health status, nor can they exclude coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Q: When does the Exchange 'open' and by when do people without insurance need to have it?
October 1, 2013 begins what is called "Open Season," the date on which people can access health plans available in their states at www.healthcare.gov and these options will remain on the website until Open Season closes, which is March 31, 2014.
People are expected to have selected a plan and put in place before January 1, 2014 to avoid any penalties. This is true for anyone who is not already insured or who meets the specified exemptions listed in the related question above.
Q: How can people receive reliable advice or ask questions to a person if they cannot or prefer not to use services online?
Right now, even today, people can call 1-800-318-2596 or (TTY: 1-855-889-4325) and receive advice and direction from qualified, trained staff. The line is open 24/7, and assistance is available in English and Spanish. Other languages are also available and accommodated through Language Line, but bilingual staff (English and Spanish) is available around the clock, directly at the other end of the phone.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Humana has been fined after an investigation found the company sent misleading letters about the Affordable Care Act.
The letters were sent in August to about 6500 people. In the letters policy holders were notified they had 30 days to renew their plans for 2014 or they would have to choose a more expensive option that complies with the Health Care Act.
Insurance regulators said the letters didn't make it clear that people could wait, and compare plans that will be offered on the state's health insurance exchanges.
The Kentucky Department of Insurance fined the Louisville based company over $65,000 for the incident.

The last time the Fulham took the pitch against West Ham, Eddie Johnson was still on the roster. That gives you an idea of where Fulham was and how much time has transpired since these two teams took the pitch. Coming off a transfer deadline there are a lot of shiny new toys and it's going to be exciting to see them come into the team and see where they fit.
Looking back at the 2010/11 season, the last time the Whites and Hammers clashed during the season, they took only 1 point out of two meetings and had a 2-5 goals for/against differential. This in a season where the West Ham was relegated and Fulham took 8th in an upper half table finish. It was disappointing to say the least and today as we visit them on their pitch there has to be a little bit of revenge in the minds of those returning players. No more likely than with those members of the back line that were beat and surrendered 3 goals at home in a extremely disappointing loss. Brede Hangeland, Aaron Hughes, Chris Baird
Eddie Johnson
(though it's far more likely that Jol goes with Riether out on the right side) and certainly most of all, keeper Mark Schwarzer.
West Ham's attack, unfortunately for us, has also become more dangerous with the recent addition of Liverpool's Andy Carroll on a season long loan. Say what you will about Carroll he's still a dangerous player. He has a great ability to find proper positioning and with his size and athletic ability he turns that position into opportunities for goals with his head.
Sam Allardyc and his club looks ready to have Carroll in the starting XI tomorrow and it'll be interesting to see how Allardyc's love of the 4-5-1 formation works with long time striker Carlton Cole--whose pace is rather ridiculous at times and did serious work on Hughes and Baird last time around--affects his line-up selections.
Cole stuck around despite the clubs demotion last year and even allowed the club to reduced his wages in a measure of good faith having struggled to find a proper transfer. I'm not sure if they plan to use him as a super sub at this point, which is where he really belongs at this point in his career. However, I'd almost anticipate a 4-4-2 showing, if nothing else just to start the match.
With Carroll likely to do battle in the air against Hangeland the real wild card for the defence is how the Whites handle control of the midfield. A rested Diarra and Sidwell are likely to tangle themselves with some combination of Mark Noble, Mohamed Diame and Kevin Nolan. Diarra's showing last week was impressive at times. As he
I'm expecting Jol to possibly throw out a defensive formation (where is a healthy Dickerson Etuhu when you need him?) similar to what we saw against Sheffield, Tuesday night. The obvious question right now is "can Fulham be creative enough to create scoring opportunities". Considering they will be without Ruiz, and the added loss of Dembele this past week. Petric is a great finisher and can create some chances with his feet but Damien Duff is going to need to supply some great service and Kacaniklic is going to need to continue to step up out on the wing.
The west London wild card could be Hugo Rodallega.Who showed great energy against the Manchester United last week and had a couple of good looks that, with luck on his side, could have given the Whites a point leaving Old Trafford. Alas, it wasn't meant to be but he's had moments early this season that lead one to think that he could make an impact on today's game.
The Whites are going to have their work cut out for them and are going into what can be hostile environment. The midfield is going to have to keep from turning the ball over and work on transition as West Ham likes to strike quickly. It's important that attackers capitalize on what looks they get, chances are they won't get many. Hopefully Brede can shut down Carroll and we'll be looking at an easy win. But, I'm expecting a fight and a fun game to watch,

The 4G network standards approved last week by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) stadards body may improve the mobile data experience soon, even if consumers don't actually see the 100Mbps mobile speed for which they were designed.
The ITU gave its seal of approval to the two new standards, LTE-Advanced and WirelessMAN-Advanced, at the ITU Radiocommunication Assembly in Geneva last Wednesday. WirelessMAN-Advanced, the second generation of WiMax, is not expected to be widely deployed. But LTE-Advanced, the next version of the Long-Term Evolution standard chosen by most carriers moving to 4G, could start improving mobile networks soon.
[ Learn about consumerization of IT in person March 4-6, 2012, at IDG's CITE conference in San Francisco. | Get expert advice about planning and implementing your BYOD strategy with InfoWorld's 29-page "Mobile and BYOD Deep Dive" PDF special report. | Keep up on key mobile developments and insights with the Mobilize newsletter. ]
What the ITU technically did last week was to certify the two network specifications as IMT-Advanced, or officially 4G (fourth generation). When it originally planned for 4G, the successor to the 3G technologies that started to be deployed early in the past decade, the ITU insisted the next-generation networks be able to deliver 100Mbps downstream with high mobility and 1Gbps from one location.
After the slower WiMax and LTE, and the even slower HSPA+, technologies started to be called 4G by carriers, the agency loosened its definition. But its goals for IMT-Advanced stayed in place.
Consumers shouldn't look for 100Mbps throughput when the first carriers start implementing LTE-Advanced, probably later this year. In most cases, it won't even bring a speed increase as the move from 3G to LTE did. But the new standard should improve the wireless experience, say industry analysts.
The upgrade to LTE Advanced, which most carriers will do gradually, is similar to adding lanes to a highway, said analyst Monica Paolini of Senza Fili Consulting. Drivers don't necessarily go faster on a multilane highway, but the additional lanes are needed if more drivers want to go full speed in the future. LTE Advanced adds those "lanes" for wireless connections. "Capacity might not be an issue today, but it is going to become an issue pretty soon," she said.
The LTE-Advanced standard is made up of several components, of which service providers can use some or all, said analyst Peter Jarich of Current Analysis. These include aggregation of separate spectrum bands, better integration between small and large cells, the use of four or more antennas in a device, and relay devices at the edges of cells.
Jarich expects most service providers to start out with LTE-Advanced by combining frequencies and adding more antennas. This so-called "carrier aggregation" allows an operator to build up a big chunk of spectrum virtually, out of separate frequencies spread around the spectrum band. LTE already uses MIMO (multiple-in, multiple-out) antenna systems, but only with two antennas per device. LTE-Advanced will allow for four or more antennas, potentially boosting speed and reliability. However, it's not clear how many antennas may ultimately fit in a smartphone, Jarich said.

The Braves have now completed 20 games*, which means that it's time for the 2nd edition of the Braves Batting Strikeout Tracker. (If you missed the 1st update, read it here.)
* The Braves have now played 21 games, but I though it'd be better to put this up on the off day. All stats in this post are through the first 20 games only, so Wednesday's game vs. the Rockies isn't included.
The Braves fell off a bit in their 2nd 10-game stretch, going "only" 6-4 after a 9-1 start, though the team is still maintaining the best record in baseball and a sizable lead in the NL East. The Braves' strikeout rate declined as well, however. They struck out 83 times in games 11-20, compared to 92 times in the first 10 games.
The Braves' total of 175 strikeouts is actually only the 5th-most in baseball, although their 8.75 strikeouts per game ranks 3rd-highest, just a smidge behind the Red Sox. The Astros, though, are blowing every other team away--they've struck out 200 times already (10 per game)!
I may have to add the Astros to this graphic before long; they seem like a more serious threat to the MLB strikeout record than the Braves are. At any rate, here's how the 2013 Braves stack up with the MLB-record-holding 2010 Diamondbacks and the franchise-record-holding 2012 Braves through 20 games (click to enlarge):
As you can see, the Braves are on pace to strike out 1418 times, which is well short of the MLB record but well ahead of the franchise record. While they have struck out a few more times than the 2010 Diamondbacks had at this point in the season, those D'backs really picked up the pace as the season went on, so I wouldn't expect the Braves to stay ahead much longer.
This year's Braves team has already built up a large lead over last year's team, having struck out 37 more times through 20 games. They would have to see a huge dip in strikeouts in order to avoid breaking the franchise record.
Let's check back in on the Braves' runs scored vs. strikeouts chart through 20 games:
The relationship between Ks and runs is still quite weak. We'll keep monitoring this relationship as the season goes on, though I expect the correlation to remain weak.
Who are the team's strikeout leaders? Here's the breakdown of strikeouts by player:
|B.J. Upton
|Dan Uggla
|Justin Upton
|Juan Francisco
|Evan Gattis
|Jason Heyward
|Chris Johnson
|Andrelton Simmons
|Freddie Freeman
Since our last update, B.J. Upton's K rate has dropped a few percentage points to "not so alarming" territory. Dan Uggla and Juan Francisco were the big risers, as each is now above 30% on the season.
The biggest surprise, to me, is still Chris Johnson's 16.7% K rate. That's nearly 1/3 lower that his 24.7% rate entering this season. I don't think he'll maintain anything close to his current production (.397 / .424 / .556), but the lower K rate is perhaps an indication that his surprising season may not be entirely due to good fortune. As always, we'll have a better idea as the season progresses.
The Strikeout Tracker will be back in 10 games. Regardless of how many strikeouts they accrue, let's hope that the Braves still are hitting home runs and preventing runs at the same rate that they have been doing so far.
