Endovascular Treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke
Joey D. English M.D. Ph.D.
Overview of Acute Ischemic Stroke (AIS)
The abrupt occlusion of an intracranial artery typically results in acute cerebral ischemia and immediate focal neurological symptoms. The specific neurological deficits experienced by the patient are related to the functional anatomy of the brain tissue experiencing compromised blood supply, with common symptoms being unilateral weakness of the face, arm, and/or, leg, difficulty with language production or comprehension, visual field disturbances, slurred speech, unilateral incoordination and/or unilateral sensory loss. Without prompt restoration of blood flow through the occluded vessel, cerebral infarction (permanent neuronal cell death) and persistent neurological deficits can occur.
These acute ischemic strokes account for approximately 85% of all strokes (with the remaining - 15% being related to the rupture of a cerebral blood vessel giving a hemorrhagic stroke), and their individual and societal burden is hard to overstate: Approximately 750,000 AIS occur annually in the United States alone, and AIS remains the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of adult disability.
Acute Ischemic Stroke Caused by Large Vessel Occlusions
Acute ischemic stroke pathology can be divided into small vessel occlusions versus large vessel occlusions. "Small vessel" occlusion refers to an acute blockage of one of the many 200-400 micron diameter perforating arteries that arise off of the proximal aspects of the great vessels of the intracranial circulations (e.g., lenticulostriates of the proximal middle or anterior cerebral artery, brainstem perforators of the basilar artery.)
Direct intra-arterial delivery of a thrombolytic agent into an intracranial LVO using trans-femoral artery micro-catherization has been investigated since the 1980s. The best data supporting this approach came from the PROACT-II trials
The duration time since symptom onset has classically been the primary criteria for identifying which AIS patients might benefit from either intravenous or endovascular therapies. Intravenous tPA is typically offered within 3 to 4.5 hours of symptoms. Symptom duration, however, is likely a poor surrogate for predicting an individual patient's tissue viability, as this is largely determined by the nature of the individual's unique intracranial collateral circulation and ischemic tolerance. These observations have driven intense interest in the use of CT or MR perfusion imaging of tissue viability as a better means of identifying patients most likely to benefit from endovascular therapy.
The development of stent retriever devices has dramatically improved our ability to quickly and safely achieve successful recanalization or AIS patients presenting with a LVO. Advancements in image-based patient selection, specifically dynamic perfusion imaging, has allowed us to offer endovascular therapy beyond the typical 6- to 8-hour time window. The combination of the two has markedly altered our approach to endovascular treatment of AIS,and much preliminary data from our institution and others suggest significant improvements in the long-term clinical outcomes in these patients. The use of stent-retrievers and image-based patient selection is currently being studied in multiple rigorous clinical trials.
We at the Calfornia Pacific Medical Center and Neuroscience Institute have an abiding commitment to offer the highest quality of care to patients suffering from cerebrovascular diseases such as hemorrhagic stroke. Working as an integral component of a strong multidisciplinary team that includes Stroke Neurology, Critical Care Medicine, Neuroradiology and Neurosurgery, our Neurointerventional service provides leading edge technology and unsurpassed expertise to diagnose and treat the most challenging cerebrovascular problems with the safest and most effective techniques.
These "lacunar" stroke syndromes are likely caused by in situ thrombotic occlusion of an individual perforator. Large vessel occlusion (LVO), by comparison describes the acute blockage of a proximal great vessel (e.g. M1 segment of a middle cerebral artery) or one or more of its distal cortical branches. LVOs are typically embolic in nature, with thrombus originating from a proximal source such as atrial fibrillation or cervical carotid atherosclerosis.
LVOs now account for about 40-50% of all acute ischemic strokes, and this percentage is likely to only increase as the population ages and the prevalence of atrial fibrillation rises. Not surprisingly, given the large area of cortical tissue usually supplied by large intracranial vessels. LVO-related AIS is clinically more severe than small vessel lacunar stroke syndromes, leading to at 4.5-fold increase in mortality and a 3-fold reduction in the likelihood of a good long-term functional outcome.
And while both large vessel and small vessel occlusion AIS patients benefit from treatment with intravenous IPA, LVOs respond only very modestly to this therapy. A patient with an acute occlusion of a proximal middle cerebral artery occlusion of a proximal middle cerebral artery will experience spontaneous recanalization in a clinically meaningful time window approximately 15-20% of the time; this recanalization rate increases to 30-35% with intravenous tPA administration. These data demonstrate that 65-70% of patients will not recanalize with intravenous tPA therapy. Three quarters of these patients will suffer significant long-term disability.
While the observation that LVO ischemic strokes are common, clinically severe and poor responders to intravenous tPA therapy are sobering, the encouraging news is that a significant amount of data demonstrate that successful recanalization of the occluded vessel correlates with a markedly improved chance of a favorable long-term functional outcome. One meta-analysis of 33 studies of 988 LVO patients found a 58.1% rate of good functional outcome and 14.4% mortality in patients that had successful revascularization of their LVO, compared to a 24.1% rate of good functional outcome and a 41.6% mortality in patients without successful LVO revascularization.
Endovascular Therapy for Acute Large Vessel Occlusions
Treatment Options and Device Evaluation
This significant increase in recanalization correlated with a significant improvement in neurological outcome (40% versus 25%). Despite these data, originally published in 1999, intra-arterial thrombolysis has never achieved FDA approval, and pro-urokinase is no longer commercially available. Many stroke centers, including our institution, continue to utilize this approach in specific situations using off-label use of intra-arterial IPA.
The major advances over the past five to 10 years in endovascular acute ischemic stroke treatment, however, have been in the development of mechanical thrombectomy devices. Such devices are designed to engage and physically remove occlusive thrombus from the target intracranial artery.
The Merci Retriever, a wire-based corkscrew shaped device, was first approved in 2004. The Penumbra reperfusion system, a microcatheter device designed to macerate and aspirate thrombus, was subsequently FDA approved in 2008. While both devices were important mechanical thrombectomy pioneers, neither proved to have the impact desired, namely the ability to achieve a high rate of successful revascularization in a safe and timely fashion. From this experience, however, newer and more efficient devices have emerged.
Stent retriever devices are novel self-expanding non-detachable stents that are deployed across the thrombus burden of an LVO. After allowing the stent retriever to expand and engage the occlusive thrombus, the device is then retrieved from the intracranial circulation, thereby physically removing the clot. Two stent retrievers, the Solitaire and Trevo devices, were approved by the FDA in 2012 after clinical trials demonstrated that each was clearly superior to the Merci Retriever device in both recanalization rates and safety profiles (e.g. 86% successful recatherization with Trevon compared to 60% with Merci), with improved clinical outcomes
Overall, these stent retriever devices represent a dramatic advancement in the ability to quickly, safely and successfully treat acute Ischemic stroke patients presenting with large vessel occlusions.

Trials continue in different form
Patient moves past cancer treatments
By Raja Mishra, Globe Staff, 9/2/2002
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Photos from Adriana's experience
By Suzanne Kreiter / Globe Staff
To gain FDA approval for widespread use, a new treatment must successively pass three phases of clinical trials, each seeking to answer different questions:
Phase I: Is a new treatment safe? What are safe dosage levels? Usually small trials, often with less than a dozen patients.
About 30 percent of breast cancers produce excessive HER-2 proteins, which makes cancer cells proliferate. Herceptin disables HER-2. It hits only HER-2 producing cancer cells, not normal cells, minimizing side effects and earning it the title "smart" drug. UCLA's Dennis Slamon spent 13 years developing Herceptin. San Franciso-based Genentech Inc. sells it. The first large-scale clinical trial results came out in May 1998: 78 percent of patients on Herceptin plus chemotherapy survived one year; compared to 67 percent on chemo alone. The FDA approved Herceptin for treating metastatic breast cancer, where the cancer has spread. Doctors now seek to extend its use to earlier stages of cancer through clinical trials, such as the one involving Adriana Jenkins.
Dana Farber research advances
The Globe followed breast cancer patient Adriana Jenkins through a clinical trial at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston for eight months. A reporter and photographer were given access to most medical events and records. All conversations reported were witnessed. The lengthier exchanges that appear in the stories were recorded on audio tape. Jenkins' writings, as well as representations of her thoughts, were taken from contemporaneous notes written by her and supplied to the Globe on a regular basis throughout the eight months. The word is tattooed on Adriana Jenkins's wrist, in black ink and flowing cursive script. Her battle against a deadly cancer once proliferating in her breast inspired it.
It is small enough to be obscured by her watch band. No garish tattoos for Jenkins: There remains a career and marriage and social life to consider. Still, she stares at it most every day.
"This is my life now," she said, lounging at a Brookline cafe in the late morning on a recent weekday. "I am a cancer patient."
In April, the Globe chronicled 32-year-old Adriana Jenkins's journey through a clinical trial for an experimental cancer therapy. The therapy appeared to work: Her massive tumor disappeared. However, she developed a mild heart problem as a side effect, prompting doctors to pull her from the trial seven months into the scheduled 15-month experiment.
In the four months since the Globe stories appeared, Jenkins has finished chemotherapy and completed radiation treatment. Some hair has grown back. The heart problems vanished. Her cancer has not returned.
As a test subject, Jenkins exemplified the risks and promise of clinical trials, a central piece in the mission of Boston's world-leading medical community. Today, her role in the experiment over, she faces a new struggle: the transition from a medical test subject facing death to a cancer survivor reconstructing life. "In my mind, if I make it two more years, that'll be a big hurdle for me," she said.
The cancer is gone, but it is not forgotten. Her doctors say a 60 percent chance remains that it will return within four years. Early death remains a possibility; doctors aren't likely to ever pronounce her "cured."
For now, Jenkins is well. A thick, kinky wave of mostly gray hair recently sprouted on her once-bald head. She dyes it jet black. Loose clothing and special undergarments mask the fact that a scar exists in place of her right breast. "She's doing well. She has now completed all of the chemo. She's recovering strength, growing hair," said Dr. Jennifer Ligibel, her doctor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. "She's in the rebuilding phase."
During the trial, Jenkins's heart began beating irregularly. Doctors also found that her heart's pumping strength slightly less ened. Both problems disappeared once she stopped taking Adriamycin, a harsh chemotherapy drug. Jenkins has resumed taking Herceptin, the so-called "smart drug" that was the trial's focus. Researchers designed the virtually side-effect-free drug to target specific cancers, avoiding the indiscriminate cellular destruction that makes many cancer therapies harrowing. She has had no recent heart problems, despite restarting Herceptin. Her doctors remain puzzled over the precise cause of the earlier problems.
On July 12, she completed her intensive treatment at Dana-Farber with the last of 33 exhausting blasts of radiation therapy. She also recently started a five-year course of tamoxifen, a drug that blocks certain cancer cells from feeding off female hormones.
"We hope [her cancer] is gone forever, but we watch carefully," said Ligibel. "The longer period of time that has passed, the more likely this will never come back."
On July 10, Jenkins marked one year since her cancer diagnosis. She went out for dinner with her husband, David Halligan. They plan to celebrate one year of marriage on Sept. 15.
He has been a pillar in her life, one that she increasingly leans on. He found new work with manageable hours in part to spend more time with her. And he never once complained about marrying a woman facing death and lacking a breast and hair and, on many days, energy. Jenkins worked throughout her trial in the public relations department at Millennium Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge. But this summer, a deep weariness finally set in. She left work, taking paid medical leave. She began resting her tired, scarred, chemotherapy-battered body.
She sleeps now. A lot. She has taken up painting, favoring color-filled abstract work.
"It's been great just to relax, take a break, go at a pace my body is comfortable with," she said.
A simple headache still prompts fear. A brain tumor, perhaps? But, during the tranquillity of the summer, a transformation occurred. "I crossed some line where I'm not obsessed with it all the time," she said. "It was exhausting to constantly be contemplating my demise."
After the Globe series appeared in April, Jenkins received an outpouring of support and concern, from friends, colleagues, other cancer patients, and even strangers. In the tears and hugs, she saw energy waiting to be harnessed. And so she fashioned a new role for herself: activist.
She has organized an art auction to benefit breast cancer research at the Tufts-New England Medical Center. The Boston Harbor Hotel donated a ballroom. Christie's auction house will run the event. Already, more than 60 artists, mostly local, have donated work, including amateur painter Senator Edward M. Kennedy. Channel 5 news anchor Natalie Jacobson will be the master of ceremonies. The effort -- Jenkins dubbed it "Art for Hope" -- has already received $31,000 in corporate donations, including one from San Francisco-based Genentech Inc., the maker of Herceptin. Her goal for the Oct. 3 event is $100,000.
On a recent morning, she surveyed the ballroom, with its sweeping views of the Boston waterfront. Where should the food table be, she asked, walking around the room, pointing left and right, tailed by several public relations people. Where should the jazz band sit? What about coat check? And reception?
Four of Jenkins's paintings, completed this summer, will be auctioned. One is of a pink tree, using the color adopted by breast cancer activists. Another portrays a child's silhouette.
"This is fun," she said, laughing. "Maybe I'll do it every year."
Clinical trials have taken a battering in recent years, after a 1999 gene therapy trial in Pennsylvania ended with a teenager's death. A recent Time magazine issue with a story on clinical trials depicted on its cover a frightened patient in an animal cage. But Adriana Jenkins holds another opinion: "The clinical trial saved my life."
"Art for Hope" is her expression of gratitude to the research community. But after the auction has ended and the jazz band has sounded its last note, Jenkins will return home with her husband to continue life as a cancer patient. It is a precarious life, but she has come to see it as a deeply enriched one. And, with each passing day, it molds Jenkins's identity anew.
"I think I have slowly learned to mesh my old life with this new one with some success, and hopefully as time goes on, I will recapture more and more of my old life," she said.
"But this life has some benefits as well. People reach out to you in all sorts of wonderful ways. I have learned to appreciate people and things in a completely new way."

Manchester City executive chairman Garry Cook was left non-plussed by the antics of his AC Milan counterparts during the failed talks for Kaka.
Cook revealed to City's website: ŌĆ£WeŌĆÖve been to Milan four times and the delegation yesterday involved three lawyers that represent the legal counsel for Manchester City football club.
ŌĆ£It also involved a board member who had flown half way around the world from Abu Dhabi, myself and one other senior executive.
ŌĆ£We were confined to a room, with no food or drink, and we asked some questions of the football club and more importantly we asked some questions of the representatives of the player and they simple could not answer the questions.
ŌĆ£What they wanted to talk about was; ŌĆśhow much are you going to pay him?' We chose not to get into that and we didnŌĆÖt make an offer to the player.
ŌĆ£Is he a great footballer? Yes. Does he represent all the values you would want to have as an ambassador of the sport global and were we looking for the opportunity to joint venture in areas that would take this club on to a different platform? Yes, but unfortunately the landscape changed and his representatives wanted to talk about how much we were going to pay him.
ŌĆ£Money was certainly the motive yesterday.ŌĆØ

"Another wonderful story"
I really enjoyed this book. The narration was a bit difficult to understand the first four or five times I listened to it, but after you get used to the accent it is a wonderful ride. It is now on my favorites list of books I listen to every few weeks.
"Another great listen!"
I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. The story flows well, has funny moments and the narrator is well spoken and easy to listen to.
I don't have a memorable moment, but the way that Seth hangs in there gives me the warm fuzzies for romance.

CHICAGO – If you can remember the 1990s outside of childhood, you are in the glow of middle age, so congratulations. The Brown Paper Box Co. theater ensemble takes us back to those thrilling days of yesteryear with "Spike Heels," a relationship comedy centering on the co-mingling antics of two couples, with a slight nod toward George Bernard Shaw and the play "Pygmalion" (or its musical counterpart, "My Fair Lady").

DVD Review: New Volumes of 'American Dad,' 'Family Guy'
Submitted by BrianTT on July 4, 2010 - 7:18pmCHICAGO – Nearly thirty episodes of Sunday night FOX animated hits "American Dad!" and "Family Guy" were recently released on DVD in extras-packed volumes and we couldn't let these excellent releases fly by without a brief review. It's unlikely that anyone is jumping into their collections of either show this late in the game, so the question is will they satisfy fans who already purchased the first four volumes of "American Dad!" or the first seven of "Family Guy." Fans won't be disappointed.

TransCanada says Keystone XL to be delayedBy ROB GILLIES
The Associated Press | April 27,2013TORONTO The chief executive of TransCanada Corp. said Friday the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline will be in service months later than expected and cost more as it continues to await U.S. government approval.
TransCanada had been sticking to its late 2014 or early 2015 start-up target, but the regulatory process has dragged on. It is now looking at a mid to late-2015 start-up.
CEO Russ Girling noted on a conference call with analysts detailing first quarter results that the controversial pipeline is in its 67th month of the approval process.
Unfortunately, continued delays ... have an impact on both our schedule and our costs. Based on our current assessment of timing of the permit we would currently anticipate the pipeline could become operational in the second half of 2015, Girling said.
The Calgary, Alberta-based company said the $5.3 billion cost estimate will increase depending on the timing of the permit.
The Obama administration is considering whether to approve the pipeline, which would carry 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta across six U.S. states to the Texas Gulf Coast. A decision is expected this summer.
The pipeline has become a flashpoint in the U.S. debate over climate change. Republicans and business and labor groups have urged the Obama administration to approve the pipeline as a source of much-needed jobs and a step toward North American energy independence. Environmental groups have been pressuring President Barack Obama to reject the pipeline, saying it would carry dirty oil that contributes to global warming. They also worry about a spill.
The project very much remains in the interest of the United States and we remain of confident that it will receive regulatory approval and be constructed, Girling said.
Obamas initial rejection of the pipeline last year went over badly in Canada, which relies on the U.S. for 97 percent of its energy exports.
The pipeline is critical to Canada, which needs infrastructure in place to export its growing oil sands production from northern Alberta. The region has the worlds third largest oil reserves, with 170 billion barrels of proven reserves.MORE IN National / World BusinessDETROIT February threw snowstorms and other roadblocks at the auto industry, but U.S. Full StoryWASHINGTON Two major U.

Transfer Blackberry Contacts to an iPhone
Just traded in your Blackberry for a shiny new iPhone? Here's how to transfer contacts from your old Blackberry to your new iPhone, and without buying anything extra along the way (completely free solution).
We'll do this in two main steps:
1. Transfer contacts from the Blackberry address book to Outlook on your computer (or Windows Mail).
2. Sync your iPhone with your computer using iTunes, which will transfer the contacts from Outlook to your iPhone.
Make sure that both the Blackberry Desktop Manager and iTunes are installed on your system, and that your Blackberry is connected to your computer with a usb data cable.
1. Transfer contacts from a Blackberry to Outlook
Run the Blackberry Desktop Manager program and click "Synchronize" from the main menu screen. Select "Synchronization" below the Configuration menu option to get to the Synchronization Configuration screen.
There you'll click the "Synchronization" button to configure the synchronization settings.
(that was a mouthfull of synch-related words wasn't it? Hang in there)
You'll be asked to choose the device applications to synchronize. Choose "Address Book", and then choose "Outlook".
If you don't have Outlook on your system, then you can choose "Windows Mail" instead.
Next you'll configure how you want to sync your contacts, either bi-directionally or just from your blackberry to Outlook (which is the option I chose):
Click "Next" and then "Finish" to complete the synchronization settings. This will take you back to the synchronization screen.
Make sure you check the option to "Synchronize organizer data". This is the setting that tells the program to sync your contacts.
Click the "Synchronize" button to copy the contacts from your Blackberry to your Outlook contacts. You can open Outlook after the sync has completed, and you should see your Blackberry addresses in your Outlook contacts folder.
2. Transfer contacts from Outlook to an iPhone
You can import Outlook contacts to your iPhone by syncing your iPhone with iTunes.
Plug your iPhone into your computer and wait for iTunes to automatically launch (or run iTunes from the Start menu if necessary).
Select your iPhone in iTunes, select the Info tab, and then click the checkboxes to sync your contacts. Choose Outlook as the application to sync with. Click Apply, then click Sync.
This will copy the contacts from Outlook over to your iPhone.
Remember however, that you can only sync your iPhone with one computer at a time. If you later decide to sync with another computer, your contacts will be erased.
Our work here is finished, and your Blackberry contacts will now be copied over to your iPhone.
Finally. A tutorial that

Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) rights | ||||||||
LGBT portal | ||||||||
The Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) is legislation proposed in the United States Congress that would prohibit discrimination in hiring and employment on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity by employers with at least 15 employees.
ENDA has been introduced in every Congress since 1994 except the 109th. Similar legislation has been introduced without passage since 1974.[1] The bill gained its best chance at passing after the Democratic Party gained the majority after twelve years of Republican majorities in the 2006 midterm elections. In 2007, gender identity protections were added to the legislation for the first time. Some sponsors believed that even with a Democratic majority, ENDA did not have enough votes to pass the House of Representatives with transgender inclusion and dropped it from the bill, which passed the House and then died in the Senate. President George W. Bush threatened to veto the measure. LGBT advocacy organizations and the LGBT community were divided over support of the modified bill.
In 2009, following Democratic gains in the 2008 elections, and after the divisiveness of the 2007 debate, Rep. Barney Frank introduced a transgender-inclusive version of ENDA. He introduced it again in 2011, and Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced it in the Senate. On November 7, 2013, Merkley's bill passed the Senate with bipartisan support by a vote of 64-32. President Barack Obama supports the bill's passage.
In states that have anti-discrimination policies in place, LGB complaints are equivalent to the number of complaints filed based on sex and fewer than the number of complaints filed based on race.[2][3][4]
The Williams Institute estimates the number of LGBT employees as follows: 7 million private sector employees, 1 million state and local employees, and 200,000 employees of the federal government. Thirty percent of state and local LGBT employees live in California and New York. In comparison, LGB people make up only one half of one percent of state and local employees in Montana, North Dakota and Wyoming combined.[5] This suggests that the need for policies to address discrimination may vary markedly from state to state. Surveys that seek to document discrimination on the basis of perceived sexual orientation and/or gender identity are often conducted with a pool of self identified LGBT people, making it difficult to ascertain the impact of this type of discrimination on non-LGBT individuals.
One source of evidence for hiring discrimination against openly gay men comes from a field experiment that sent two fictitious but realistic resumes to roughly 1,700 entry-level job openings. The two resumes were very similar in terms of the applicant's qualifications, but one resume for each opening mentioned that the applicant had been part of a gay organization in college. The results showed that applicants without the gay signal had an 11.5 percent chance of being called for an interview; openly gay applicants had only a 7.2 percent chance. The callback gap varied widely according to the location of the job. Most of the overall gap detected in the study was driven by the Southern and Midwestern states in the sample – Texas, Florida, and Ohio. The Western and Northeastern states in the sample (California, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and New York) had only small and statistically insignificant callback gaps.[6]
Transgender people may experience higher rates of discrimination than the LGB population. A survey of transgender and gender non-conforming people conducted by the National Center for Transgender Equality found 90 percent of respondents experienced harassment, mistreatment, or discrimination on the job or took actions like hiding who they are to avoid it.[7] In comparison, a review of studies conducted by the Williams Institute in 2007 found that transgender people experienced employment discrimination at a rate 15 to 57 percent.[8]
It is unclear whether LGBT individuals earn more or less than the general population. In a survey conducted by Harris Interactive, 38 percent of LGBT people report incomes less than $35,000, compared to 33 percent of all U.S. adults over age 18.[9] Patrick Vaughn, general counsel for The American Family Association (AFA) argues that homosexuals as a class enjoy privileged, rather than disadvantaged, economic and cultural positions in society and that their household income is above average.[10]
The current version of the bill under consideration in Congress prohibits private employers with more than 15 employees from discriminating on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. Religious organizations are provided an exception, broader than that found in the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[11] Non-profit membership-only clubs, except labor unions, are similarly exempt.
All versions of the bill, irrespective of the military's changing policies with respect to service by open gays and lesbians, have provided an exclusion for the military as an employer of members of the armed forces, though not as an employer of civilians.[12]
Since the 111th Congress, the legislation has included language to prevent any reading of the law as a modification of the federal definition of marriage established in the Defense of Marriage Act (1995).[13] Since the 110th Congress, a related provision aimed at non-marital legal relations like civil unions and domestic partnerships prevents requiring an employer to treat unmarried and married couples similarly.[14]
On May 14, 1974, the fifth anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion, Reps. Bella Abzug (D-NY) and Ed Koch (D-NY) introduced H.R. 14752, the "Equality Act", which would have added sexual orientation to the protected classes specified in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibited discrimination in employment and access to public accommodations and facilities.[16]
In the early 1990s, supporters of the legislation decided to focus on employment. Rep. Gerry Studds introduced the Employment Non-Discrimination Act on June 23, 1994.[17] The legislation failed in 1994 and 1995.[18] In 1996, the bill failed on a 49–50 vote in the Senate and was not voted on in the House.[19][20] Its level of support in the Senate may have represented an attempt by some to compensate for their recent support of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), which prohibited the federal government from recognizing same-sex marriages.[citation needed] These early versions of ENDA did not include provisions to protect transgender people from discrimination[21] and ENDA was not introduced in the 109th Congress.
In the 110th United States Congress there were two versions of the bill, both of which provided employment protections similar to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[23] Reps. Barney Frank, Chris Shays, Tammy Baldwin, and Deborah Pryce introduced H.R. 2015 on April 24, 2007. It included gender identity within its protections. It defined gender identity as "gender-related identity, appearance, or mannerisms or other gender-related characteristics of an individual, with or without regard to the individual's designated sex at birth." It allowed employers to require adherence "to the same dress or grooming standards for the gender to which the employee has transitioned or is transitioning."[24]
When that bill died in committee, Frank introduced H.R. 3685 on September 27, 2007, which did not include gender identity and contained exemptions concerning employer dress codes. It was endorsed by the Education and Labor Committee on October 18 and the House of Representatives passed it on November 7, 2007, by a vote of 235 to 184, with 14 members not voting.[25] Frank introduced a separate piece of legislation to prohibit discrimination in employment on the basis of gender identity.[26]
Some LGBT activist organizations refused to support H.R. 3685 because of its failure to cover gender identity.[27][28] An exception was the Human Rights Campaign, which received wide criticism from the LGBT community for supporting a non-inclusive ENDA.[29] The LGBT activist organizations that refused to support H.R. 3685 argued that not including transgender people undermined the underlying principle of ENDA.[30] They claimed that failure to include gender identity/expression weakened the protection for the portion of the LGBT population that most needed its protections: gender non-conforming people, who they claimed are discriminated against in greater numbers than their gender-conforming compatriots.[citation needed] Others argued that this was ENDA's best chance of passing Congress in thirty years, that civil rights victories have historically been incremental, that concerns about the legislation's protections were unfounded, and that forgoing a chance to provide immediate workplace protections to millions of lesbians, gays and bisexuals was politically and morally wrong.[31]
On June 24, 2009, Frank introduced H.R. 3017 to ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,[32] with 114 original cosponsors, up from 62 cosponsors for the trans-inclusive bill of 2007."[32] The lead Republican cosponsor was Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL).[33] Republican Main Street Partnership members Mark Kirk (R-IL), Mike Castle (R-DE), Todd Russell Platts (R-PA), Judy Biggert (R-IL), and Leonard Lance (R-NJ) were among the original cosponsors.[34] The bill was referred to the House Education and Labor Committee, which held a hearing on the legislation on September 23, 2009.[35] At the end of the 111th Congress, H.R. 3017 had 203 cosponsors in the House.[36]
On August 5, 2009, Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced ENDA legislation (S. 1584) that included gender identity,[37] with 38 original cosponsors including Sens. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Susan Collins (R-ME), Olympia Snowe (R-ME) and Chris Dodd (D-CT).[38] Sen. Merkley said "It's certainly possible that this could be passed by year's end, though the [congressional] schedule is very crowded."[39] As of March 13, 2010, S. 1584 had 45 co-sponsors and was pending before the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee,[37] which held a hearing on the legislation on November 5, 2009.[40]
On April 6, 2011, Frank introduced an ENDA bill (H.R. 1397) in the House to ban workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.[41]
On April 14, 2011, Sen. Jeff Merkley introduced an ENDA bill (S. 811) in the Senate.[42] The bill had 39 original cosponsors. On June 19, 2012, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions held a hearing on the bill, the first such hearing to include testimony by a transgender witness.[43]

On April 25, 2013, Representative Jared Polis (D-CO) introduced an ENDA bill in the House (H.R. 1755) and Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) introduced an ENDA bill in the Senate (S. 815).[45]
On July 10, 2013, the Senate Health, Education, Labor & Pensions Committee approved ENDA by a 15–7 vote. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-TN) announced he would offer three amendments when the Senate takes up the measure.[46]
A cloture vote succeeded in the Senate on November 4, 2013, with 61 voting in favor and 30 against, allowing the Senate to schedule a vote.[47][48] Republican Senators Kelly Ayotte (NH), Susan Collins (ME), Orrin Hatch (UT), Dean Heller (NV), Mark Kirk (IL), Rob Portman (OH), and Pat Toomey (PA) voted for cloture,[49] joining 52 of 53 Democratic senators and both independent senators.[50] Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) supported the legislation, but were unable to attend the cloture vote.[51][52]
After rejecting by a vote of 43–55 an amendment by Senator Toomey to expand the religious exemptions[53] and accepting by unanimous voice vote an amendment by Senator Portman to prevent government retaliation against religious institutions,[54] the Senate approved ENDA on November 7, 2013, on a 64–32 vote.[44][55] Arizona Republicans Jeff Flake and John McCain unexpectedly[53] joined Sen. Murkowski and the seven Republicans who had supported three days earlier. Both independents and 52 of 53 Democrats again supported the measure, with McCaskill present but Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey, who supported the bill's passage,[56] absent.
In the House, on September 17, 2014, Representative Polis filed a discharge petition, that, if signed by a majority of the House membership, would force a vote on the version of ENDA with a narrow religious exemption.[57] By September 22, it had been endorsed by 190 of the 218 that constitute a majority.[58] On December 3, 2014 6 of the 8 Republican co-sponsors asked House Speaker John Boehner to allow a vote on the legislation "as part of any available legislative vehicle including the National Defense Authorization Act" before the end of the 113th Congress.[59] Later that day, the House Rules Committee voted 7 to 3 against adding ENDA as an amendment to the 2015 defense authorization bill.[60]
Political proponents of the law intend it to address cases where gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender employees have been discriminated against by their employers because of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Currently, these employees are unable to find protection in the courts because sexual orientation is not considered to be a suspect class by the federal courts and by many U.S. states. Proponents argue that such a law is appropriate in light of the United States Constitution's guarantees of equal protection and due process to all. Advocates argue that homosexuality is not a "choice" but a personal identity, a claim supported by the American Psychology Association (APA), and that all working people have a right to be judged by the quality of their work performance and not by completely unrelated factors.[61] According to a study published in 2001 by the Williams Institute at the UCLA School of Law, reports of discrimination based on sexual orientation are roughly equal to those on race or gender.[62] The APA also states that there is significant discrimination against homosexuals in the workforce.[61]
The Congressional Budget Office in 2002 estimated that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's complaint caseload would rise by 5 to 7% as a result of the proposed law.[63] Assessments of the impact of comparable state policies also show a minimal impact on caseload.[64] Regarding constitutionality, the act incorporates language similar to that of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,[23] which has consistently been upheld by the courts.
In 1994, Barry Goldwater, a hero among the conservative and libertarian movements, became honorary chairman of a drive to pass a federal law preventing job discrimination on the bias of sexual orientation.[65]
Ed Vitagliano, director of research for the American Family Association (AFA), a fundamentalist Christian organization which in 2010 earned the distinction of being classified by the Southern Poverty Law Center as an anti-LGBT "hate group" for its continued perpetuation of "known falsehoods" about lesbians and gays,[66] wrote in 2007 that there was "no real problem of discrimination against homosexuals."[67] He expressed concern about the impact of anti-discrimination laws on religious organizations. He cited a lack of clarity around whether the narrow exemption would apply to support staff and lay employees in addition to churches and clergy.[10] A few consumer surveys show that self-identified gay individuals likely have higher incomes than the average US household,[68] and ENDA opponents argue that many gay people hold positions of cultural influence as well.[67]
Another fundamentalist Christian group which Southern Poverty Law Center also classified as an anti-LGBT hate group for perpetuation of "known falsehoods" regarding the LGBT community List of organizations designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as anti-LGBT hate groups, the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), has claimed that the legislation would have a negative impact on school children by eliminating schools' ability to avoid hiring transgender teachers. It said that "If ENDA passes, students and children in daycare centers all across the nation will be subjected to individuals experimenting with their gender identities."[69]
Some Libertarians argue that laws against private sector discrimination are acts of coercion that infringe on employers' property rights and freedom of association.[70]
The conservative United States Conference of Catholic Bishops said ENDA goes beyond prohibiting unjust discrimination and poses several problems. It notes, for example, that the bill: (1) lacks an exception for a "bona fide occupational qualification," which exists for every other category of discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, except for race; (2) lacks a distinction between homosexual inclination and conduct, thus affirming and protecting extramarital sexual conduct; (3) supports the redefinition of marriage, as state-level laws like ENDA have been invoked in state court decisions finding marriage discriminatory or irrational; (4) rejects the biological basis of gender by defining "gender identity" as something people may choose at variance with their biological sex; and (5) threatens religious liberty by punishing as discrimination the religious or moral disapproval of same-sex sexual conduct, while protecting only some religious employers.[71]
In June and July 2014, several pro-LGBT advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, National Center for Lesbian Rights, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, Transgender Law Center, and Lambda Legal, announced they were withdrawing support for the 113th Congress version of ENDA because of their concerns about the breadth of its religious exemption in relation to the ruling in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc..[72]

This Wedding Season, Say Yes to Strangers
This past month we learned about a pair of viral Craigslist ads that some nice young men had (successfully) used to find wedding dates. This was old news to me. In 2008, I was named a bridesmaid against my will, and I prepared to suffer through all the standard requirements that come with the duty. Usually, you simply grin and bear these life necessities, but when the bride vehemently insisted that we all have dates despite the fact that several of us were single, I decided to respond to her myopia with outright insolence, with the support of and in the shared name of my bridal party cohorts. On July 8, 2008, I posted the following ad to Craigslist:
"seeking awful date for awful wedding (w4m)"
i'm a bridesmaid in a terrible wedding. i need a date to ruin it with, preferably one that is either ridiculously unkempt or too hot to be able to enjoy with a straight face. i'll buy you however many shots you might need to make it through this endeavor. you send me 25 words or less on why it should be you and a picture.

Pro photographer Corey Ann explains, with examples, what causes her so many problems in getting the wedding photographs her clients have paid her for: their guests.

Her proposal: politely, but firmly, ask your guests to enjoy the highlights of the wedding themselves, and leave taking photographs of those parts to the photographer.

Weddings as Art
Weddings are inherently a form of performance art, and various artists have explored weddings as an artistic form. For example, Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens held a wedding every year for 7 years to various parts of the environment and Maria Yoon held weddings in every US state to explore marriage as an Asian-American woman. Second Life also hosted a performance art wedding while Gavin Turk and Deborah Curtis incorporated their House of Fairytales project into their own wedding. Kathryn Cornelius married and divorced seven suitors every hour on the hour while Chen Wei-yih opted to marry herself.
