MLB to expand blood testing for HGH
"Other professional sports leagues, including the National Football League, must also implement their own robust testing regimes," Cummings and committee chairman Darrel Issa said in a statement Thursday. "Major League Baseball's announcement increases the pressure on the NFL and its players to deliver on pledges to conduct HGH testing made in their collective bargaining agreement that was signed two years ago."
NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Thursday "we hope the MLB players' union will inspire the NFLPA to stop its stalling tactics and fulfill its commitment to begin testing for HGH. If the NFLPA stands for player health and safety, it should follow the lead of the MLB players' union and end the delay."
NFLPA spokesman George Atallah says the union is not backing out of anything but was looking to resolve scientific issues surrounding the tests. HGH testing is part of the 10-year labor agreement reached in 2011 but protocols must be agreed to by both sides.
"If the league had held up their commitment to population study, we could have been first," Atallah said.
At the time of last month's congressional hearing, NFL senior vice president Adolpho Birch called the union's insistence on a population study to determine whether current HGH tests are appropriate a delay tactic that threatened that league's leadership in drug testing matters.
"Major League Baseball and the players' union have moved a long way from the inadequate policies that were in place when Congress first addressed ballplayers' use of steroids." said Henry Waxman, ranking Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
NOTES: Owners approved the transfer of control of the Cleveland Indians to Paul Dolan, son of owner Larry Dolan. Paul Dolan is the team's chief executive officer.

Top Secret Mac Os X Program-voice Command
I say its a secret because of all the complicated software that I have been studying and all the user meetings in Hollywood I go to listen to top people in the field demonstrate their software, I have NEVER heard anyone talk about this program: Mac's Speech Recognition!
I have been playing all night with this recent discovery about a basic feature of Mac OS X: Voice Commands. Anything you can click with a mouse, any short-cut, any hot-key for any program can have a voice command! Open and close programs, copy, delete, undo, print, go to a particular web site....etc. I just played an entire game of Chess by voice commands only.
Imagine all of your favorite graphic programs, like AE, Final Cut Pro, and Avid, whatever, functioning from voice commands. No more remembering odd hot-keys and short-cuts. Just tell the computer to define a key command and it opens a dialogue window: enter the key command and decide what voice command you want to use.
Use the same key command on just one application or all of them if it is something universal like copy, paste and delete. By the way some commands toggle a function on and off. No problem. Just make a separate command for each function even though its the same short-cut.
If it doesn't have a key board short cut, no problem, just "tell" the computer to make whatever you're clicking on "speakable" and its done! For example, I opened up Applications and clicked on every program and told the computer to "make speakable". It was that fast and easy.
To access it just open: System Preferences, Speech, Speech Recognition. Then click: Speakable Items On. All you need is to plug in a microphone (although it says the built in one will work too), adjust your volume and your on your way to a completely voice automated computer.
It already comes with basic commands like opening and closing programs. Ask it what time it is, or to tell you a joke. Tonight I played a game of chess totally with voice commands. Then I started adding commands for my special programs and functions. You just keep the "Listen Continuously" function on and tell it add new voice commands while you work. Its that easy and fun.
Mac's Speech Recognition's comes pre-installed with Voice Commands: for example, the Menu Bar and all bold items are ready to use. Just say "Open.......Menu" Everything in bold in the menu is a one word command.
If a menu item has a discovery triangle just say the item name and the triangle opens. To close a sub-menu say: "close menu". You must also say "close menu" to switch from one open menu before opening another.
If you want to select an item that requires opening several sub-menus then it is obviously easier to make a custom command and that item instantly opens. Just say, "Define a keyboard command", enter the menu key board short cut, enter the name and your done!
Working on another computer.... no problem, just copy your "Speakable Items Folder" to where your working and Bingo! About computer voices: I still use 10.4 because I don't want to loose any application functionality with 10.5, so I'm using "Vicki".
However, I do have 10.5 on another partition and the new OS has a very good "computer voice". If you are interested in other very good voices check out Infovox for a 30 day demo for a couple dozen very good voices.
This program is so good that I can play iTunes and if I speak up Mac still understands what I want. Sometimes I do have to repeat myself but I am going through a learning curve too. It has a switchable function so you don't have to use exact words and it guesses what you want. So in this case everybody makes mistakes. No problem, just say "cancel", "close window", "quit program", etc.
Have fun!

That's been around for a very long time. Hasn't it?
I remember playing with it way back in system 9.

I don't know why this would be a secret. text 2 speech, voice control are not new on all platforms, no matter how you look at it.

Okay soo AF came on Feb 27 and stayed for a whole week which is normal for me. My cycles are always normal 29-30 days and nothing out of the ordinary. This last cycle I had some crazy brown discharge and cramping happening right after AF for a few days and got it checked out and Dr said everything was ok so I still dont know what that was caused from.
However, The last few days I have been having mild cramping and unusual pain during BD when DF (TMI) goes too far in... I dont temp, OPK or know how to check CM so I cant really confirm OV but I am feeling like maybe I am OV now or did in the last few days or am going to?
My question is if I OV now, earlier than predicted (If Im not pg) will AF come sooner? Like is it always smack dab in the middle of your cycle? I am reading things about Luteal Phases and LH Surges and I really have no education on any of that lol Also do you think from what I described I could have OV now?
Any help would be great!! :) TIA!!

KTM Talk
Am I the only one that thinks KTMTalk website is a big waste of time? There are so many restrictions over there I gave up...I had a few things to get rid of and saw postings from members looking for what I had on "WTB..." in their classifieds section..I could'nt reply to them because I'm a "new member"...so if I reply a few times to establish myself to lose my new member status then I can post....I've got better things to do with my time than create 5 phony posts to be able to reply to someone's ad, then I see if I do 5 or so fake posts they'll block me out forever...so long KTMTalk..too bad...
I gave up on it years ago . total waste and more stuckup shitheads than here . SEYA
Like anything else in life you get back what YOU put into it. A website flourishes by people participating and helping each other. If you don't want to participate then don't. There are plenty that do participate on KTM talk and get plenty out of the experience. Bashing another website. A highly respected one at that, will serve no purpose except to make you look small.
As far as no noob posting in the classified section. Each website takes different measures to protect the members from unscrupulous activities from outside. I've seen plenty of threads on the interweb concerning members that were scammed from a 1 post member that got in an took advantage of them. The staff is unable to watch every single thread to twart those activities. Automatic setting have to be implemented.
When I was looking for a 525 I jumped through all the hoops to become a member. Found the bke I wanted but couldn't respond. So I used a friends log in to contact and make the sale. The guy I bought the bike from had been a member for a long time. I bought the bike and discovered a few "I didn't realise that was f'd up" things with the bike.
No matter how many failsafes are in place, this crap happens. I rarely go on there any more because I find it just as cagiva and Thor described.
If Im not mistaken the Flea market doesn't show up on this site until you have a few posts as well....
I go to KTMTalk regarding dirt bikes and ADVrider for adventure bikes.
Love them both for these two different reasons.
I find little if any difference in the tenor and tone of posters on either site.
As someone else commented, you get out what you put in.
The guys in the 2 stroke forum are very knowledgeable and quick to reply. A good resource.
+1 when my son was racing his KTM 50 that site was the bomb for information. Not so much with my 950Adv. Most of the Adventure posts are look over at advrider in the OC...
I haven't been in awhile. However, I seem to remember that their big twins section wasn't very much help...as CCR posted.
It wasn't even close to the OC. ADVRider is still the shizzel...
When thinking of KTM TALK the words "ZIG HILE!" come to mind. Besides that, I always thought Patrick was a big freeking star-fish on sponge Bob.......and now I hear he is a site mod.....lol.......
It is just a web site no one is forcing anyone to go there. If you dont like it stay out of it.
Been a big help to me, and I appreciate the folks over there that have helped. I'm a lifetime member, and it's a bargain.
KTM Talk is great for the little bikes, some very knowledgeable people over there.
Not so useful for the big bikes, thats where ADV is mucho better.
I've posted a few big bike trip reports over there. Always a positive response, but little feedback.
I didn't care for their classified section even before it was reorganized several months back. Now even worse.
quote: posted by NOMAD GUY Moderation is not really your strong side, is it? are they sending people to the gas chambers from KTM TALK ?
It is just a web site no one is forcing anyone to go there. If you dont like it stay out of it.
Well, Nomad, 'ol bud, apparently, taking a joke is not your forte', either. It was just a joke....OK? What say I buy you a beer, we call it even? OH, and by the way, they did send me to the chamber, but my sentence was commuted to life. IN THE ORANGE CELL BLOCK. That's how I became an inmate......but that's another story.......
Take it light, Bro, and laters.....

NBA draft-day rumors: Josh Smith to Timberwolves for second-overall pick?
|06.23.11 at 3:23 pm ET
Josh Smith continues to jockey for the position of the MVP of the rumor mill.
The latest report, coming from Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports, has the Hawks trying to trade the high-flying forward to Minnesota for the second-overall pick in this year's NBA draft. The Timberwolves were believed to be heavily considering Derrick Williams out of Arizona at that spot, and Wojnarowski didn't mention the team as being interested in any deal involving Smith.
The Hawks would most likely take center Enes Kanter, who has drawn the eye of Hawks GM Rick Sund, with the second pick if they were able to acquire it.

It Almost Sounds Like "Caddyshack" If You Say It Fast Enough
I remember popping this sucker in for the first time during one of my many Genesis marathons with my cousin. I've never played the arcade version, but I don't think I need to; from the looks of it, the Genesis port is superior. This is just a fun, simple sword-&-sorcery romp that really takes the term "sword-&-sorcery" literally. You're either a guy with a sword, or a sorcerer. Both of them were fun, but playing as the wizard was just awesome, because he looked like he was a million years old and yet he could still stand toe-to-toe against dragons and shit. It's hilarious. The last boss is a doozy and I've only beaten him once. Give this game a play if you love mermaids, krakens, demons, gnomes, ghosts, dragons, skeletons, spiders, or those super-annoying stone men who charge at you and you can't do a damn thing about it and I HATE THOSE THINGS!

Court lets stand Obama's China wind farm ban
Sunday - 2/24/2013, 12:58pm EST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal judge said Friday she can't overturn President Barack Obama's decision to revoke a Chinese company's purchase of four wind farm projects in the vicinity of a U.S. naval facility's restricted airspace.
However, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said the Ralls Corporation has a right to a hearing over whether the White House should be forced to explain its decision.
In his September decision, Obama ordered Ralls Corporation, a company owned by Chinese nationals, to divest its interest in the wind farms it purchased earlier this year in Oregon. The wind farm sites are all in the vicinity of restricted air space near the Naval Weapons Systems Training Facility Boardman. The administration cites unspecified national security risks as the reason for blocking the transaction.
Ralls sued. Its CEO, Wu Jialiang, said in Beijing in October that his company would "never do anything that threatens U.S. national security."
Jackson said the federal courts don't have the power to get involved in the president's decision-making on this issue.
The law "is not the least bit ambiguous about the role of the courts: 'The actions of the president . . . and the findings of the president . . . shall not be subject to judicial review,'" she said.
However, Jackson said the courts can hold hearings on whether the government deprived Ralls of its property without due process of law. Ralls argued that the Due Process Clause of the Fifth Amendment entitles it to an opportunity to be heard and to hear the reasons for Obama's decision, she said.
"It is true that the finality provision will bar the court from hearing any attack on the president's findings," Jackson said. "But there is a difference between asking a court to decide whether one was entitled to know what the president's reasons were and asking a court to assess the sufficiency of those reasons."
Jackson said she will hear arguments on that issue later.

HYDERABAD: A lorry laden with eggs overturned on the fly-over near Yatri Nivas resulting in traffic jam late on Tuesday night.
The lorry was going from Begumpet side to Parade Grounds. "It seems the lorry skid on the fly-over and overturned when the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes," the Ramgopalpet police said. The driver sustained simple injuries.
A crane was rushed onto the fly-over to lift the overturned vehicle.

White House, GOP draw red lines in debt debate
Monday - 1/7/2013, 3:22am EST
By ANNE FLAHERTY
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - Struggling for the upper hand in the next round of debt talks, Republicans and Democrats this weekend drew lines in the sand they said they'd never cross when it comes to the U.S. debt limit.
The tough talk on the Sunday morning talk shows doesn't bode well for voters who are frustrated by the political gridlock.
"I believe we need to raise the debt ceiling, but if we don't raise it without a plan to get out of debt, all of us should be fired," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
Last week's deal to avert the combination of end-of-year tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff" held income tax rates steady for 99 percent of Americans but left some other major pieces of business unresolved.
By late February or early March, the Treasury Department will run out of options to cover the nation's debts and could begin defaulting on government loans unless Congress raises the legal borrowing limit, or debt ceiling. Economists warn that a default could trigger a global recession.
Also looming are deep automatic spending cuts expected to take effect at the beginning of March that could further erase fragile gains in the U.S. economy. Then on March 27, the temporary measure that funds government activities expires, and congressional approval will be needed to keep the government running. That's one more chance to fight over spending.
Republicans say they are willing to raise the debt ceiling but insist any increase must be paired with significant savings from Medicare, Medicaid and other government benefit programs. President Barack Obama has said he's willing to consider spending cuts separately but won't bargain over the government's borrowing authority.
"One thing I will not compromise over is whether or not Congress should pay the tab for a bill they've already racked up," Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi made a similar remark Sunday in insisting the two issues _ raising the debt ceiling and reducing spending _ shouldn't be coupled.
"Right now we have to pay the bills that have been incurred," Pelosi said. "And if you want to say cut spending for what we do next, fine, but don't tie it to the debt ceiling."
But Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said spending cuts would have to be part of the equation if the proposal was to get any kind of GOP support.
McConnell on Sunday suggested Republicans were prepared to see the nation default on its spending obligations.
"It's a shame we have to use whatever leverage we have in Congress to get the president to deal with the biggest problem confronting our future, and that's our excessive spending,"
Meanwhile, Democrats said further tax increases for the wealthiest Americans were still possible as Congress looks to close the gap between revenues and expenditures. They say Obama has already agreed to significant spending cuts, and that the latest deal only gets the nation to about half of the revenue it needs to resolve the red ink.
"Trust me, there are plenty of things within that tax code _ these loopholes where people can park their money in some island offshore and not pay taxes. These are things that need to be closed. We can do that and use the money to reduce the deficit," said Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, the second-ranking Senate Democrat.
But McConnell bluntly declared that the "tax issue is over" after last week's agreement.
"We don't have this problem because we tax too little; we have it because we spend too much," McConnell said.
McConnell spoke on NBC's "Meet the Press," ABC's "This Week" and CBS' "Face the Nation." Pelosi was on CBS' "Face the Nation." Durbin and Graham appeared on CNN's "State of the Union."

This is the music video for George Michael's new song "True Faith." Big mistake, title wise. Pretty sure they should have called the song what it sounds like "Recording of drunk toddler with possible neurological difficulties played backwards and then cranked through autotunes." It just doesn't make any. sense. He also looks an awful lot like that guy who killed Aladdin in that Disney animated movie "The Hurt Locker."
Bake yourself up a tray of really bad weed brownies and enjoy.

This cooler could fit a 12pk of be i mean soda, some candy bars in the freezer... anything you would like to keep cold. This this is perfect to pack your lunch and a few brewskies when headed out to your favorite crag. Mine did come with a shoulder strap, i don't know if that was a fluke or not but it has one (i'm thinking not a fluke b/c it matches the cooler). I ordered the Haulin' Padded Shoulder Strap that goes with it as well (b/c some reviews mentioned the lack of a strap), and since the strap is $10 and return shipping is $7 i'm gonna keep the strap. Anyhow, this is a pretty sweet cooler, it's so sweet my mom wants one.
Mountainsmith workmanship to me is unsurpassed. They even spread the craft down to something as simple as a six pack carrier. Good quality and appropriate size. Whether you are packing a six of Fuller's IPA or whatever you fancy it made this weekend's flyfishing extra nice. Plus it was free so who can beat that?
It's really nice. Does NOT have a shoulder strap, if that's an issue for you. Mountainsmith makes a good one for 10 bucks, tho. It will easily fit 6 cans o' beer. Tall boys, even, with ice. It's a chalange to get 22 oz bottles of Fat Tire in there - but those are tall bottles. Inside is shiny gray vinyl. It looks space age. Haven't used it on a hot day to see how long it keeps the brie from liquifying, but so far it's done a good job chillin'.
This is one slick cooler. It collapses down to about nothing and will even handle some 22 ounce bottles of homebrew. And I can sinch down a rain coat to the cooler if it looks like the drinking will be in the rain. Oh, and I'm sure it will probably hold some Cokes as well.

Potrero Things to Do
Enjoy the animals in this village. The howler monkeys are everywhere!!! Cows and chickens were always strolling about.
Attend the CPI Language School in nearby Flamingo (1 km away). The staff and organization are extremely professional hence the higher prices than you will find in other places but a great program. They will either find a homestay for you or if you are living in the area as I was you can attend that way as well. The school also organizes numerous activities to do when you aren't attending classes. Sandra was my contact person and would be able to answer any questions you may have.
The CPI Spanish Language School in nearby Flamingo (1km) offers volunteer opportunities. You can volunteer to meet with school children who would like to practice their English. We met with them in an old schoolhouse (see photos) and would just chat with them for an hour or so. It was great fun. Of course the boys all said they wanted to move to the US to be cowboys!!!!
Potrero Transportation
We bought bicycles at the only store in town and they were our primary method of transportation. I wish we would have rented a car or motorbike as Potrero is so far from anything and the roads are so potholed it is hard to ride a bike not to mention there are no streetlights so it is impossible to bike after 5pm. Buses to other towns/cities do come to nearby Flamingo village throughout the day and are an affordable way to travel but they tend to be slow.
Potrero Shopping
This is the ONLY store in the village. They do carry a lot of things but it is only the size of a local neighbourhood general store. The owners, two brothers, are very friendly and nice. They ordered in things for us if they didn't have them. You MUST eat the yoghurt with chocolate balls to go on top! We bought them out every day!!!
Potrero Off The Beaten Path
Potrero is such a small village the services are EXTREMELY limited. Here are some photos of the services in town: the only store, the school, and the mechanics shop.

I'd prefer to sell them both together but would consider splitting them up as I realize the 7th edition is the more desirable of the two. I'll consider trades for other computer/video game history related books.
These books are heavy and shipping would be via Canada $$ Post. PM an offer and your address to get an estimate on shipping.
Thanks for looking!

Funny how Werner mentions that the location can still be rented out for parties.
Hey, maybe a couple hundred MiceChatters should get together and rent it out for a night? Could be fun.
Werner, thanks for the terrific article! I'm one of those who never had a chance to experience Hollywood & Dine. Your pictures really have piqued my interest and I hope Disney makes use of this space wisely in the upcoming development of the park. I really, really like the idea of a food court! Too bad it didn't really work out.
I never got a chance to go here, and I wish I could have. Even though it was a simple food court, it was at least somewhat creative, and could have really been something. I honestly had no idea Don the Beachcomber was there. I would have absolutely loved to try that.

World War I
In his April 2, 1917, war address, Woodrow Wilson cast the purpose of US involvement in World War I in broad, idealistic terms: the world, he declared, "must be made safe for democracy." The First World War was a total war, requiring the complete mobilization of American society. The methods used to mobilize the manufacturing and agricultural sectors, select men for the military, regulate transportation, and distribute propaganda set precedents for how the federal government would respond to the crises of the Great Depression and World War II.

Nevada game marked arrival of unit SDSU expected
Even without starter Colin Lockett (concussion), the receivers looked lethal, with Ruffin, Denso, Tim Vizzi, redshirt freshman Eric Judge and tight end Adam Roberts each coming up with big plays when the Aztecs needed them most.
The Nevada game showed that the Aztecs are no longer just a one-trick pony. The running game is back, but SDSU can hurt opponents through the air, too.
"A lot of it is trying to find out who's going to be hot which games," Denso said. "If we're running the ball well in a game, we'll try to stay with the run. If Quinn's feeling good and the receivers are making plays, we'll probably take some more shots."

So Chelsea Manning's situation has brought to light an issue that I am deeply passionate about, and one of the take aways that I'm seeing is that we have a need to educate people further on the fact that trans medical care is not a choice, is not cosmetic, and is not strictly elective (in the medical sense).
I've been encountering a lot of hostility towards Chelsea, specifically, but I'm pretty much unbowed by all of it in the one area of her Constitutional right to receive medically necessary care. On this point, I am absolutely firm, and it applies to all trans prisoners, anywhere in the United States, not just her.
Now, some people might wonder why we put people in jail. Turns out in 2011, this was reaffirmed by SCOTUS:
"To incarcerate, society takes from prisoners the means to provide for their own needs. Prisoners are dependent on the State for food, clothing, and necessary medical care. A prison's failure to provide sustenance for inmates "may actually produce physical 'torture or a lingering death.' " ….Just as a prisoner may starve if not fed, he or she may suffer or die if not provided adequate medical care. A prison that deprives prisoners of basic sustenance, including adequate medical care, is incompatible with the concept of human dignity and has no place in civilized society"
– US Supreme Court in Brown v. Plata 131 S.Ct. 1910 (2011)
The Constitution of the United States has several Amendments to it. The first 10 of the are called the Bill of Rights and enshrine Civil Rights as a foundational basis for the nation. The eighth one of these (8th Amendment) is as follows:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
For the purposes here, the key point is cruel and unusual punishment.
In Weems v. United States, 217 U.S. 349 (1910), the Supreme Court exercised judicial review to overturn a criminal sentence as cruel and unusual, overturning a punishment called cadena temporal, which consisted of imprisonment for at least 12 years and one day, in chains, at hard and painful labor; the loss of many basic civil rights; and subjection to lifetime surveillance. Cadena perpetua is identical except that it is a sentence of life as opposed to a temporary status. This case established a principle of proportionality under the Eighth Amendment.
In Trop v. Dulles, 356 U.S. 86 (1958), the Supreme Court held that taking away someone's citizenship is unconstitutional, being "more primitive than torture" because it involved the "total destruction of the individual's status in organized society."
In Furman v. Georgia, 408 U.S. 238 (1972), the Opinion of the court was written by Justice Brennan, who stated:
"There are, then, four principles by which we may determine whether a particular punishment is 'cruel and unusual'."
- The "essential predicate" is "that a punishment must not by its severity be degrading to human dignity," especially torture.
- "A severe punishment that is obviously inflicted in wholly arbitrary fashion."
- "A severe punishment that is clearly and totally rejected throughout society."
- "A severe punishment that is patently unnecessary."
Justice Brennan also wrote that he expected no state would pass a law obviously violating any one of these principles, so court decisions regarding the Eighth Amendment would involve a "cumulative" analysis of the implication of each of the four principles.
In this way, the United States Supreme Court "set the standard that a punishment would be cruel and unusual, it was too severe for the crime, it was arbitrary, if it offended society's sense of justice, or if it was not more effective than a less severe penalty."
These cases basically set the foundational standards I'm about to get into in more detail, with at least one rather startling (to me, at any rate) decision.
One of the key aspects to much of this sort of stuff — and a part of many rulings, is the notion of Human Dignity, which is supposed to not be stripped from prisoners. This runs counter to what many people in society at large think is "proper and right" — the general thoughts on prisoners is that they shouldn't have dignity. ANd yet, then we have situations such as Abu Gahrib, where human dignity is destroyed, and remanding areas like GITMO where human dignity is suspended.
Human Dignity is a term used in moral, ethical, legal, and political discussions to signify that a being has an innate right to be valued and receive ethical treatment. It is an extension of the Enlightenment-era concepts of inherent, inalienable rights.
Dignity is a tough to agree on concept — in the US, we've never reached a universal agreement in matters of policy, but it acts as a fundamental aspect of our Civil Rights and our Political Rights. That life, liberty, and pursuit of Happiness thing is about Dignity, and that is, in the end, where courts, and those creating laws, ultimately turn.
The point here is that dignity is not to be stripped from prisoners — the conditions may be unpleasant, but they are still to retain their dignity.
In 1976, the Supreme Court heard Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97. In this decision, they held that in order to state a claim for a violation of Eighth Amendment rights, a prisoner must allege acts or omissions sufficiently harmful to evidence deliberate indifference to serious medical needs. They also said that medical malpractice did not rise to the level of "cruel and unusual punishment" simply because the victim is a prisoner. Gamble lost, but what came out of the case was that the principle that the deliberate failure of prison authorities to address the medical needs of an inmate constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment".
In the words of the court: "deliberate indifference to serious medical needs of prisoners constitutes the 'unnecessary and wanton infliction of pain'…proscribed by the Eighth Amendment."
So Prison authorities must be intentionally ignoring a real need — and the standard for that real need is really determined by those professionals who are employed for that purpose: doctors. This concept of deliberate indifference is a key point to the end result here, and this is a huge deal of case law.
In Helling v. McKinney, in 1993, the Court revisited Estelle, above, and went a bit further. In a 7-2 majority opinion, Justice Byron White wrote that prison officials "have, with deliberate indifference, exposed him to levels of ETS [second hand smoke] that pose an unreasonable risk of serious damage to his future health". This raised a valid claim under the Eighth Amendment.
The court noted that McKinney would have to prove the scientific facts of the dangers of exposure to second-hand smoke,prove that community standards supported him, and that "it violates contemporary standards of decency", as well as that the Prison Authorities acted with deliberate indifference.
This Brings us to 1994, and the single most critical piece in this issue. Dee Farmer was transferred to a new men's prison and housed with the general population. She was repeatedly raped and beaten by the other inmates at the prison, and as a result contracted HIV.
She filed a lawsuit, and established a precedent. Farmer v. Brennan, 511 U.S. 825 (1994) is a rarity — a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States where the entire court ruled in the same way — 8 of them signing on to the majority opinion, two of those who were part of the majority opinion writing separate concurrences, and the final member also writing a concurrence. On this Bench, at the time, were Scalia and Thomas.
SCOTUS had never addressed Prison Rape, ever. The case involved a trans woman, as well, which is shocking.
The majority opinion of the Court agreed that it was the responsibility of prison officials to prevent prisoners from harming each other, to the point where prison officials who were "deliberately indifferent" were ruled liable under the Eighth Amendment.
Justice Blackmun also noted, in his concurring opinion, that intent is not magical:
Where a legislature refuses to fund a prison adequately, the resulting barbaric conditions should not be immune from constitutional scrutiny simply because no prison official acted culpably. […] The responsibility for subminimal conditions in any prison inevitably is diffuse, and often borne at least in part, by the legislature. Yet, regardless of what state actor or institution caused the harm and with what intent, the experience of the inmate is the same. A punishment is simply no less cruel or unusual because its harm is unintended. In view of this obvious fact, there is no reason to believe that, in adopting the Eighth Amendment, the Framers intended to prohibit cruel and unusual punishments only when they were inflicted intentionally.
In the main opinion, Justice Souter wrote:
We […] hold that a prison official may be held liable under the Eighth Amendment for denying humane conditions of confinement only if he knows that inmates face a substantial risk of serious harm and disregards that risk by failing to take reasonable measures to abate it
This is a massively key and critical ruling for trans people, in no small part because of what has happened within the Medical field since then.
At this time, the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association, The American Psychiatric Association, The American Psychology Association, and several other major medical bodies (the American Academy of Family Physicians; the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists; the Endocrine Society; the National Association of Social Workers; and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health) have held that the appropriate treatment for trans people — described as hormone treatment and srs (but not FFS or breast augs for trans women, or genital reconstruction for trans men) — is medically necessary.
What that means is that this sort of treatment is essential to the well being of the patient, and that it has the same import as insulin for diabetes patients or dialysis for kidney failure.
The standard here is not "does it keep someone from dying" — that is not how this prinicple works, but in their statements regarding the medical necessity of such, they do describe these treatments that way — as life saving, essential treatments.
Nor are they considered cosmetic or elective treatments, in the case of the surgery. This is widely known. Indeed, it is even part of the law, to some extent.
In 2003, Congress passed and President George Bush signed PREA — the Prison Rape Elimination Act (spurred on, in part, by the Farmer case). PREA established a commission who were given the task of finding ways to address the issue, which is perceived to be so rampant, that it becomes the insult of choice for people speaking about someone going to prison. "Don't drop the soap!"
The rules the commission developed were released on May 17th, 2012. Among those rules:
- Screen inmates for risk of being sexually abused or sexually abusive, and use screening information to inform housing, bed, work, education and program assignments;
- Incorporate unique vulnerabilities of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and gender nonconforming inmates into training and screening protocols;
- Restrict the use of solitary confinement as a means of protecting vulnerable inmates;
According to a presidential memorandum issued today, other federal departments with confinement facilities will work with the attorney general to issue rules or procedures that will satisfy the requirements of PREA, in recognition of the fact that each federal agency is accountable for the operations of its own facilities and, therefore, is best positioned to determine how to implement federal laws and rules that govern its operations and the safety of persons in its custody.
That means that PREA includes military prisons.
You can see the announcement (including downloadable pdfs relating to different aspects) here.
Now, look back up a bit — see that part about the unique vulnerabilities?
That means that Prison Authorities need to be aware of the challenges faced by Trans people, and that does include such information since how many people can you think of who do this sort of training aren't going to mention the medical necessity bit?
I know that I always speak to it. I know that many Trans people work within the department of corrections in nearly every state. I know that never before has so much ever appeared in mainstream news sources about trans people than is appearing currently.
The general public may not be aware of this — indeed, in many cases, the general public balks at it, in the same way that many trans people complain about how unfair it is.
The issue of the Public Paying for this care is really sorta silly. They already pay for it. They have been paying for it since income taxes were a thing (and, technically, before that, as well). They pay for heart transplants, they pay for cancer treatments, they pay for incredibly expensive psychiatric drugs — yearly costs of which are higher than the cost for srs. They pay for people on death row to receive life saving healthcare. They pay for mass murderers to receive life saving health care. They have to. It is part of the constitution of the United States of America. Even the two most conservative judges on the Supreme court, right now, agree on that.
The issue with Trans individuals being angry that trans prisoners *might* get it is a different issue.
Outside of Prisons, the issue is that Insurance Companies are jerks, and that a white paper written by a woman in 1981 and used by a now deceased senator led to changes in the Medicaid and Medicare systems that stripped coverage for trans people (and provided the basis for Insurance companies to do so). For reference, that's Janice Raymond and Senator Jesse Helms. During the Reagan era Welfare reform efforts.
Excepting BCBS, nearly every major insurance provider in the nation offers some form of coverage for trans healthcare. The issue is that employers must choose to include that coverage for their employees, and they have to specifically ask for it.
Now, in January 2014, under the Affordable Care Act, that ends. Insurance companies are not allowed to discriminate in care against trans people. It will take a fight, in court, no less, to ensure that surgery is covered, but the work has already begun there.
That's why it is harder for us to get coverage outside of prison. Our employers need to ask for that coverage, specifically. It does, in fact, raise premiums for that health care for all employees. By very, very little (we are 1 in 250 people, and not all of us need the surgery, but most of us need hormones, which don't raise the cost at all).
It will take likely two years for that to fully work throughout all of society — and that's also why I've been such a huge booster of the affordable care act — I would have preferred a slightly different solution, but this one can work.
Oh, and, by the way, you can thank Mara Keisling and NCTE for that in more than a little part.
Now, for those of you who are out there, as you've read this, there is somehting you need to start doing, in every single chance you have to educate or inform or enlighten.
You need to make people aware of that concept of medical necessity. They need to know that hormones and surgery are life saving treatments, that they are not cosmetic, and that they are not elective.
Cosmetic and elective have very specific meanings in medicine — and they are not the same as what you see in a dictionary (unless it is a medical dictionary, specifically).
They are absolutely a must, and more people need to know this, be aware of this, and understand this. We really need for it to happen now, as well — note that whole issue of the Affordable care act thing coming down the pike.
But all of this is why Trans Prisoners should receive health care while in prison — it isn't something one debates about, it isn't something one argues with other people about. This is fact. This is deeply established case law. This is more settled than Roe V Wade, people.
FIELDS v. SMITH, 7th Circuit. De'lonta v. Johnson, 4th Circuit. Kosilek v Spencer, 1st Circuit.
Now, this doesn't mean that it is a slam dunk, either. While Hormones can be obtained often, surgery is a always on a case by case basis, and each effort requires multiple returns to court — no matter what the status of the prisoner is. It is simply not going to change.
So, realistically, what we are looking at is a situation where it will happen, but it will take a mighty long time.
There is also another issue here. The level of care does not have to be the best. SRS does not have to be done by the most experienced surgeon with the lowest rate of complications. Hormones can be generic. This isn't like you get your choice.
That's what it means, though. It means that trans people should, under the Constitution, get medically necessary care, regardless of the crimes they committed, and that they should be afforded dignity, again, regardless of the crimes they committed.
This is also why the Constitution is so important a document — those rights are there to protect those who would be denied such things by the tyranny of the majority.
Lastly, and placed here because you need to realize this, especially if you give a damn about trans people of color: The US prison system houses more persons of color, and has a disproportionate number of trans women of color as a result.
Trans women of color like CeCe. Trans women of color who were just trying to survive and avoid becoming another name read on a cold winter's eve in November. Trans women of color who have had their lives taken from them.
You want to bitch about how it isn't fair, you better be ready for someone to call your ass on your privilege.
And it might just be me.
