On June 10, 2015, the New York City Council passed the Fair Chance Act ("the Act"), which makes it unlawful for employers to inquire about an applicant's criminal background during the initial stages of the application process. The law joins other "ban the box" legislation across the nation in an attempt to ban the checkbox indicating criminal history on employment application forms. Mayor Bill de Blasio is expected to sign the bill any day, and the law will go into effect 120 days later.
The Act makes it a discriminatory practice for employers or employment agencies to inquire into an individual's arrest or conviction record or perform a criminal background check before an employer has extended a conditional offer of employment. The Act also restricts an employer's ability to issue any solicitation, advertisement, or publication that in any way expresses any form of limitation in employment based on a person's arrest or criminal conviction history. Applicants are not required to respond to illegal inquiries and cannot be disqualified for not responding.
Importantly, the law does not prohibit employers from inquiring about criminal history or running background checks; it just delays the background check until an applicant can demonstrate his or her qualifications. Employers may still inform prospective employees that employment is contingent on their responses to a criminal history inquiry or criminal background check.
If the employer decides to take adverse action based on the inquiry or criminal background check, the employer must first take a number of steps:
1. The employer must provide a written copy of the inquiry or background check to the applicant, in a manner that will be established by the NYC Commission on Human Rights (the "Commission").
2. The employer must perform a multi-factor analysis under Article 23-A of the New York State Corrections Law and then has to provide that analysis to the applicant in writing in a manner to be determined by the Commission, which shall include the "supporting documents that formed the basis for the adverse action" as well as the employer's reasons for taking the adverse action.
3. After giving the applicant the inquiry and analysis in writing, the employer must allow the applicant a reasonable time to respond, which the Act states should be at least three business days. Furthermore, during that time, the position must remain open for the applicant.
The above provisions do not always apply. The law excludes certain positions that require criminal background checks by federal, state or local laws where a conviction prohibits employment, as well as police officers, peace officers, and law enforcement agencies (as those terms are defined by law). The Act also does not apply to certain positions that involve law enforcement, are susceptible to bribery or other corruption, or entail the provision of services to or safeguarding of individuals vulnerable to abuse, though if any employers in this category take adverse action based on criminal history, they must comply with item 2 above. The positions that qualify for this exemption will be enumerated by the commissioner of citywide administrative services, published as a commissioner's calendar item, and listed on the website of the department of citywide administrative services.
The Act modifies the New York City Human Rights Law, Section 8-101 et seq. of the Administrative Code of the City of New York; thus, it does not apply to employers with less than four employees. However, for those it does cover, the damages available are among the broadest of all employment discrimination protection statutes and include the potential for back pay, front pay, unlimited compensatory damages, and unlimited punitive damages.
New York City employers are advised to take steps now to prepare for when the Act goes into effect. These steps may include, but are not limited to:
-reevaluating and revising employment application forms.
-updating handbook provisions and other policies and procedures as needed.
-examination of the Article 23-A factors, to fully understand the written analysis that must be performed in the event a candidate is rejected due to their criminal history. Employers may want to create a template for the analysis, to increase the likelihood that no factor will be overlooked in the analysis.
-providing training to all employees involved in recruiting, hiring and interviewing, to ensure they understand the parameters of the law and how, if at all, they must adjust their prior practice.

Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an increasing number of conditions are considered to be a disability resulting in expanded employee protections. This in turn places responsibility on the employer to ensure disabled employees are accommodated as necessary and that no ADA violations occur. Employers must act with caution or risk legal consequences and liability for failing to properly address a disability. An area that has frequently caused problems for employers are difficult employees who may claim psychological disorders. Is a difficult employee who has been diagnosed with ADHD considered disabled per the ADA? This was the issue recently addressed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Weaving v. City of Hillsboro (2014) 763 Fed.3d 1106.
In Weaving, Mr. Weaving was a police officer employed by the City of Hillsboro. Since his hiring, he'd had a difficult time getting along with coworkers and supervisors. Coworkers described Weaving as "tyrannical, unapproachable, non-communicative, belittling, demeaning, threatening, intimidating, arrogant and vindictive." Following a grievance filed by a coworker, Weaving was placed on paid leave and an investigation took place. In regards to his conduct, the investigating officer wrote: [Weaving] has demonstrated time and again unacceptable interpersonal communication that suggests he does not possess adequate emotional intelligence to successfully work in a team environment, much less lead a team of police officers."
At trial, Weaving presented the defense that he had been diagnosed at the age of six with "hyperkinetic activity" (known today as ADHD) which continued in his adult life and created interpersonal problems. Despite his success at work, it was frequently noted in reviews that others found Weaving to be arrogant and rude. Following the grievance being filed against him, Weaving claims he realized his interpersonal problems may have been due to his ADHD and he sought professional help. His psychiatrist confirmed he suffered from ADHD. He thereafter officially notified the police department, stating that he looked forward "to receiving the positive support [that employees] who are afflicted with a mental disorder or an addiction, receive," and requested "all reasonable accommodations," including reinstatement to his position as sergeant. The police department conducted an independent medical evaluation, which found Weaving fit for duty. However, it nonetheless terminated his employment.
Weaving sued the City of Hillsboro alleging disability due to his ADHD under the ADA and that the City fired him due to his disability. The district court ruled in Weaving's favor; the City appealed the decision and the Ninth Circuit issued a reversal. In so ruling, the Court found that Weaving could not meet the ADA's relaxed standard for determining whether a plaintiff is substantially limited in engaging in a major life activity and stated "the record does not contain substantial evidence showing that Weaving was limited in his ability to work compared to 'most people in the general population.'"
In rejecting Weaving's argument for disability, the Court contrasted his lacking interpersonal skills with other situations in which it found disability, such as panic attacks, and communicative paralysis. The Court stated that despite Weaving's ADHD, which may limit his ability to get along with coworkers, it was not the same as a "substantial limitation on the ability to interact with others…To hold otherwise would be to expose to potential ADA liability employers who take adverse employment actions against ill-tempered employees who create a hostile workplace environment for their colleagues."
The Court's ruling here is good news for employers, who previously may have felt their hands were tied with difficult employees who claimed disability due to ADHD. The decision demonstrates that the Courts still require employees to meet the threshold for proving a disability exists and are willing to distinguish cases of disability from those of difficult employees who do not need accommodation. While this may be a relief to employers, this does not mean employees with ADHD are never entitled to accommodation, or that it will never rise to the level of a disability.

The U.S. Supreme Court has granted review of Integrity Staffing Solutions v. Busk to determine whether time spent by employees in a security check line constitutes work and is therefore compensable. The case was brought by employees of Integrity Staffing Solutions, a temporary employee provider, who provided employees to Amazon.
In Integrity, temporary workers were assigned to work for Amazon at two of its Nevada warehouses. According to the class action plaintiffs, they regularly spent approximately 20-25 minutes at the end of each day in security checks when leaving work, waiting to be searched, empty their pockets, and pass through metal detectors. They claimed they were not compensated for this time and were due overtime pay. The workers argue that Amazon required them to clear security checks each day, as necessary to reduce employee theft from the warehouses. The plaintiffs went on to note that the Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Part 785 provides, "[t]he workweek ordinarily includes all time during which an employee is necessarily required to be on the employer's premises, on duty, or at a prescribed workplace." A workday is further defined as, "[t]he period between the time on any particular day when such employee commences his/her principal activity and the time on that day at which he/she ceases such principal activity or activities. The workday may therefore be longer than the employees scheduled shift hours, tour of duty, or production line time."
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit noted that the FLSA, as amended by the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947, "generally precludes compensation for activities that are 'preliminary' or 'postliminary' to the 'principal activity or activities' that the employee 'is employed to perform.'" However, it also noted that "preliminary and postliminary activities are still compensable" if they are "integral and indispensable" to an employee's principal activities. For example, in Steiner v. Mitchell, (1956)350 U.S. 247, 332, changing clothes and showering were "integral and indispensable" to the production of batteries. It has been held that to be "integral and indispensable," an activity must be (1) "necessary to the principal work performed" and (2) "done for the benefit of the employer." (Alvarez v. IBP, Inc. (2003) 339 Fed.3d 894, 902–03.)
In finding the employees entitled to compensation, the Ninth Circuit held that the security clearances were necessary to the "employee's primary work as warehouse employees and done for Integrity's benefit."
The Supreme Court, in issuing a decision on this issue, will clear up much confusion, as the Ninth Circuit's decision is in direct conflict with other circuit rulings. In Gorman v. Consolidated Edison Corp. (2007) 488 Fed.3d 586, the Second Circuit ruled that time spent in a security screening by employees was not compensable. Furthermore, the Eleventh Circuit issued a similar ruling in Bonilla v. Baker Concrete Construction (2007) 487 Fed.3d 1340.
The outcome of this case has the potential to reach thousands of workers who have worked for Amazon and have been subject to the security checks. Amazon employs approximately 38,000 temporary employees at its warehouses. It is estimated that if the Supreme Court affirms the Ninth Circuit ruling, damages will be in the millions.
Employers should be aware of the standards applied by the courts to determine whether their employees are entitled to compensation for activities required by the employer. Employers requiring their employees to spend time in security checks, change clothes, or otherwise take time to prepare for work should seek advice of counsel to determine whether such time is compensable. If you are an employer unsure about whether your employees must be compensed for time spent in security checks or preparing for work, please contact our attorneys at Jampol Zimet, LLP located at 800 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA 90017, or at (213) 689-8500, for a consultation to ensure your interests are protected before it is too late.

At the same time NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell faces tough questions about Ray Rice, a new domestic violence law went into effect in Massachusetts. Employers with 50 or more employees must now provide employees who are victims of domestic violence up to 15 days of leave in any 12-month period. Governor Deval Patrick signed the law on August 8, 2014 and it became effective immediately so employers should not delay in taking steps to come into compliance.
Leave is also allowed to employees if a family member is a victim of abusive behavior, including spouses, parents, step-parents, children, step-children, siblings, grandparents, and grandchildren. The definition of family member also includes those in a "substantive" dating or engagement relationship and who live together, persons having a child in common regardless of whether they have ever married or lived together, or a guardian.
The law applies to all employees regardless of how long they have been at the company or how many hours they work. Leave may be taken for any of the following reasons:
To seek or obtain medical attention, counseling, victim services, or legal assistance;
To obtain a protective order from a court;
To appear in court or before a grand jury;
To meet with a district attorney or other law enforcement official;
To attend child custody proceedings;
To secure housing; OR
To address other issues directly related to the abusive behavior against the employee or his or her family member.
Employers may require employees to provide advance notice for leave unless there is a threat of imminent danger to the health or safety of the employee or a covered family member. If advance notice is not possible, employees must notify the employer within three workdays that the leave was taken under the law. Employees must exhaust accrued paid leave before taking any unpaid leave unless the employer waives this requirement.
The law allows employers to require employees to provide documentation supporting the leave within a reasonable time of the request. An employee satisfies this documentation requirement by providing any one of the following:
A protective order, order of equitable relief or other documentation issued by a court;
A document under the letterhead of the court, provider or public agency which the employee attended for the purposes of acquiring assistance as it relates to the abusive behavior;
A police report or statement of a victim or witness provided to police;
Documentation that the perpetrator of the abusive behavior against the employee or family member of the employee has: admitted to sufficient facts to support a finding of guilt of abusive behavior; or has been convicted of, or has been adjudicated a juvenile delinquent by reason of, any offense constituting abusive behavior and which is related to the abusive behavior that necessitated the leave under this section;
Medical documentation of treatment as a result of the abusive behavior;
A sworn statement, signed under the penalties of perjury, provided by a counselor, social worker, health care worker, member of the clergy, shelter worker, legal advocate or other professional who has assisted the employee or the employee's family member in addressing the effects of the abusive behavior;
A sworn statement, signed under the penalties of perjury, from the employee attesting that the employee has been the victim of abusive behavior or is the family member of a victim of abusive behavior.
Employers may not retaliate or interfere with an employee's use of such leave, and the Massachusetts Attorney General will enforce the law. It should be noted that this new law adds to the Victim/Witness of Crime law which provides leave to employees who have been a victim of a crime or have been subpoenaed to attend court as a witness.
All covered employers must notify employees of their rights and responsibilities under the law. With an immediate effective date, employers should review all handbooks and policies and amend them accordingly. Supervisors and managers should also be trained on how to handle such leave requests.

Today, in Lane v. Franks, SCOTUS held in a unanimous opinion that "Lane's sworn testimony outside the scope of his ordinary job duties is entitled to First Amendment protection." And "the individual defendant has qualified immunity from this suit because prior precedent wasn't clear enough that you could not fire an employee for sworn testimony." http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/13pdf/13-483_9o6b.pdf Justice Sotomayor delivered the opinion for the Court and Justice Thomas filed a concurring opinion joined by Scalia and Alito. - Click here to see more.

On May 21, DRI rolled out the new committee online communities. The new communities will enhance DRI's web presence and will allow committee members to connect with each other and share information more easily. Each community will have a discussion list, which will replace the current list serve, as well as a document library, blog, and calendar. Committees will also be able to post announcements about their seminars and publications, and promote open positions and volunteer opportunities. All posts are sent to members as a daily digest from the communities, unless a member changes his or her settings to real-time delivery. The communities are designed to be the hub for all committee activity.
There are six substantive law committees serving as the pilot group: Commercial Litigation, Employment and Labor Law, Product Liability, Women in the Law, Workers' Compensation, and Young Lawyers. Additional committee communities will go live over the course of the year.
Members can access the communities through the DRI website, www.dri.org (there is a new link in the top blue navigation bar). Committee members are automatically members of the respective community and are being notified via email. Members should call (312) 695-6221 if they are having trouble logging in to the site.

If you don't know, it could cost you. In the past few years, federal courts have seen an influx in "donning and doffing" lawsuits. These suits reflect a general discontent of employees that are not compensated for the time spent dressing in work-related attire while on employer premises. Sometimes employers are required to pay and sometimes they aren't, but it is best to be aware of recent developments to avoid being caught with your pants down.

Are you an employer? Then you should have an employee handbook. If you don't have one, now is the time to procure one. If you do have one, then now is the time to review your handbook to ensure it is up to date with the ever changing employment laws. While the state of California does not require an employer to maintain an employee handbook, a well drafted handbook helps to avoid lawsuits, offers an affirmative defense to litigation, and ensures compliance with complex state and federal regulations.

Retaliation claims were the most frequent claims filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for 2012. There has been a sharp rise in retaliation claims since the 2006 Supreme Court opinion in Burlington Northern & Santa Fe Railway Company v. White, which lowered the standard for what is considered retaliatory conduct. Employers accused of wrongdoing by an employee risk such a claim when the employee is later fired for a legitimate reason. However, employers should not fear retaliation claims so that employees are kept on to the detriment of their business. While fear of a retaliation claim is a legitimate concern, there are steps an employer can take to help reduce the likelihood of such a claim, and protect themselves if a claim is made.

Why are things still so wrong?
Six years into his presidency, and there are major criticisms of ObamaCare.
1. Millions of Americans Stand to Lose Their Health Insurance. The president emphatically told everyone "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor." Not exactly true. More and more middle-class people will see their health coverage not get extended, and they will have to join the ACA.
2. An individual mandate system means that ALL Americans are mandated to have health insurance. It has been argued that this goes against everything free America stands for.
3. Health Care Coverage Will Change No Matter What. Even if you continue to get your health care insurance through your employer, they will have to conform to new federal benefit standards, like it or not. These upgrades will cost more; hence, higher premiums for you.
4. Health Care Costs Have Increased. Now, while you may not be able to see your favorite doctor anymore, the costs of office visits, lab tests, procedures, prescriptions, and everything else is increasing. Monthly premiums have also increased as well as yearly deductibles, which mean you pay out of pocket until that threshold has been met.
Other problems have been identified by critics of the Act, such as who pays for what, procedures that are not paid for and once were, who makes the medical decisions and no savings seen for the majority of American middle-class families.
This landmark legislation is also the first of its kind. Obama has begun the process of trying to bring an equitable form of health care to all Americans, and it is still going to take some time to iron out the wrinkles and get it right.

Tour de France - Sastre, Menchov to miss Tour de France
Carlos Sastre and Denis Menchov will not ride in this year's Tour de France after organisers said on Thursday that their team Geox-TMC had missed out on selection.
In compliance with International Cycling Union rules, the 18 ProTeams automatically qualified for the race to leave just four spots for Pro Continental teams (second division).
Organisers chose to hand wildcards to French outfits Cofidis, Europcar, Francaise des Jeux and Saur-Sojasun, rather than Geox-TMC, the Spanish team of 2008 Tour winner Sastre and Menchov who finished third in last year's race.
The team was denied a ProTeam licence last November and is now racing under a Pro Continental licence, so requiring invitations from organisers to compete in flagship events such as the Tour de France and the Vuelta.
This year's race is also unlikely to involve three-times champion Alberto Contador who is provisionally suspended after failing a dope test.
Twice runner-up Andy Schleck of the Leopard-Trek team is likely to start as hot favourite.
The 98th Tour starts in Vendee and runs from July 2-24.
2011 Tour de France teams
ProTeams: Omega Pharma-Lotto (Belgium), Quickstep (Belgium), Saxo Bank Sungard (Denmark), Euskaltel-Euskadi (Spain), Movistar (Spain), Ag2r La Mondiale (France), Sky Procycling (Britain), Lampre-Isd (Italy), Liquigas-Cannondale (Italy), Pro Team Astana (Kazakhstan), Team Leopard-Trek (Luxembourg), Rabobank (Netherlands), Vacansoleil-DCM (Netherlands), Katusha (Russia), BMC Racing team (USA), HTC-Highroad (USA), Team Garmin-Cervelo (USA), Radioshack (USA)
Wildcards: Cofidis (France), Europcar (France), Francaise des Jeux (France), Saur-Sojasun (France)

A high efficiency coupling technique for photonic crystal waveguides is proposed. The technique is based on setting a single defect within a tapered photonic crystal waveguide. Simulation results show that the optimised scheme maximises the power transmission up to 87.5% at a wavelength of λ = 1.55 μm for a 0.5 μm-long photonic crystal taper

In fact, Mouse loves Halloween. And with only a few days to go before the big day, Mouse has lots of preparations to make. There are decorations to hang up and pumpkins to carve ? especially for the big pumpkin-carving contest! Mole does not like Halloween nearly as much. It is scary. It is creepy. And who left that broom on the front step? Thankfully a pumpkin-carving contest is not too scary.
But the pumpkin-carving contest is just the beginning of Mouse and Mole's Halloween adventures. What's Mouse to do when her best friend has turned into a big Scaredy-Mole?
Mouse loves Halloween in every way, but Mole is scared of the holiday and is especially unsure about trick-or-treating. There's pumpkin carving to do, costumes to get ready, and treats to collection. But will Mole find a way to be less afraid? With illustrations, this is the sixth beginning reader in the Mouse and Mole series.

Weird error in webstartable demos...
can't change LAF to Metal: on selecting metal in the menu it opens an error dialog with the stacktrace (no stacktrace - doesn't the dialog support copy to clipboard?):
// error dialog title
Swinglabs Demos Error
// error message
nullto javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeel
// this is the first line of the stacktrace
caused by: ClassNotFoundException: org.jdesktop.swingx.plaf.metal.MetalLookAndFeelAddons
happens only in the webstartable, all fine locally. Checked the jars (the addons class _is_ there), deleted all cached resources, ...
for your convenience, here's the link:
Question is two-fold:
- anybody else reproduce, please?
- ideas to what might be the problem?
At my System ( WinsowsXP SP3, Java 1.7 ) the web start demo is buggy.
At first the left Task-Container-Bar don't paint its content.
Only when I hover over the elements its repaint the content.
The JXTreeTable Demo is not working well.
After expanding some nodes or collapsing there are some painting bugs at some nodes and the selected row "jumps around" sometimes.
When I leave the tree table and hover over the left task container again the hover effect for the tree table ( pink rows @Nimbus L&F ) is painting some rows to ( parallel to the rows I hover over at the menu bar left ).
I got the same error trying to switch to the Metal L&F.
At the JXPanel demo, there is some nice ( Nimbus ) looking separator. But I can't move it. The cursor changed its icon when I hover over this separator but nothing happens else.
After switching to an other L&F the whole screen gets clobbered...
Worst case is the motif L&F ...
After trying to close the demo I get an ask for increasing the RAM for the java app !?
Many bugs left as it looks for me.
There are several nice things worth to mention.
The painter demos are very nice!
The functionality is great!
Nice to play with them e.G. the TextPainterDemo is awesome.
The Composite-Demo is great too!
Everythings looks nice and is fast too.
The smooth round corners for the panels looking good!
I hope you can fix the main bugs soon. If you need help I would help you, as I mentioned eralier.
Great work anyay ...
I can't respond to the other posts because they "don't exist" according to the forum software...ugh.
Debugging WebStart is a giant pain. I am guessing that we should be using the 3-arg version of Class.forName with our getClassLoader() method as the last argument. Going to make that change and if it runs locally; I will check it in.
I also don't think this is in anyway related to sandbox issues (or at least issues with escaping the sandbox).
Actually, turned out to be a two-part issue:
The throwing of ExceptionInInitializer was due to simple typo (as I should have noticed right from the start, by closely looking at the message - comforting that nobody else noticed it as well :-) in the very last fallback when looking up a suitable addon:
It turned up only because we _did_ have a sandbox issue: the way the serviceLoader was accessed isn't permitted in security restricted contexts:
What we did:
ServiceLoader<LookAndFeelAddons> addonLoader =
ServiceLoader.load(LookAndFeelAddons.class, getClassLoader());
for (LookAndFeelAddons addon : addonLoader) {
// some matching code
This looked just fine (no errors anywhere except #1568), but ... the matching code was never reached because the iterable is empty in the sandbox. And that seems to be unrelated to classloader issues: it boils down to not having permission to access the resources in META-INF/services.
Doing the access in a priviledgedAction works, with a catch: the actual classLoading is done lazily. Naively wrapping the first line into the priviledgedAction doesn't help, we have to conquer the lazyness by actually accessing the iterator, something like:
protected static Iterable<LookAndFeelAddons> getProvidedLookAndFeelAddons() {
final ServiceLoader<LookAndFeelAddons> loader = ServiceLoader.load(LookAndFeelAddons.class,
// need to access the iterator inside a privileged action
// probably because it's lazily loaded
.doPrivileged(new PrivilegedAction<Iterable<LookAndFeelAddons>>() {
public Iterable<LookAndFeelAddons> run() {
return loader;
return loader;
Looks okay now - in the tests at least: previously failing tests are passing, not yet tested out in the wild.
Feedback highly welcome - not being a sandbox expert, chances are high that I might still be missing something.
yeah, the forum is ... [censored]
good that you can think of a possible solution - though I think the weirdest part of the problem is that we can switch to every installed LAF _except_ metal. Doesn't sound like a classLoader issue - or does it?
Same thing here, no idea why this would happen... Java 7u6.
If the application and libs were signed, it might work since it does locally ?
hmm ... my answer got blocked as spam by this f** site but I see it - do you?
thanks for checking :-)
hmm .. security might always be problematic, but then I would expect it to jump in when switching to any of the LAFs in the com.sun.* packages, not Metal. That's the really weird stuff: all others are just fine ...
If it really is security, we'll have to solve it somehow: SwingX _must_ run in the sandbox, no signing required.
Thanks for your feedback

I found this jsfiddle here at stackoverflow, but the solution provided by the person is very jumpy. http://jsfiddle.net/BramVanroy/ZVzEe/ I need something very smooth.
var secondary = $("#secondary-footer");
$(window).scroll(function() {
if (secondary.offset().top >= ($(document).height() - 350)) {
else if(secondary + ":not('.fixed')") {
How I need the sticky footer to work is for it to show the footer as a narrow bar at the bottom of the page while still scrolling through the content. Once the bottom of the page is reached with the scrollbar, the footer will expand in height.
The jsfiddle provided is very close to how I need this to work, but I need something very smooth. And another note, the height of the fully expanded footer is not fixed. Thanks to everyone for your help.

Traveler Reviews
Reviewed by: David C, October 2015
Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We received a lot of information about the history of Barcelona. WE had a map to follow. We had excellent quality headphones. Trips were organized so that one tour group arrived at a location as another group was leaving. It was extremely organized. I highly recommend this company. WE want to go back to Barcelona!
Reviewed by: Judith S, September 2015
This tour managed to guide us through Barcelona's beginnings to present times, not just the more recent 1000 years. It moved along at a good pace, with adequate time for questions, without feeling information overload. If the weather is hot, do the early tour.

Javier Perez Calls in 20-Player Roster for U-18 MNT Camp in Spain
CHICAGO (Dec. 10, 2014) – U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team head coach Javier Perez has called in 20 players for a Dec. 11-20 camp in Marbella, Spain. The USA's international trip also includes two matches against Germany's U-18s on Dec. 17 and 19.
This is the U-18 MNT's fourth international trip of the year and seventh camp overall.
Thirteen players among this group were part of the U-18 MNT's championship group at the 21st International Tournament of Vaclav Jezek in the Czech Republic in August.

Four players who had taken part in their first U-18 MNT camp in late October have returned for this trip to Spain. They include midfielder James Murphy, who earned a national Academy title with Players Development Academy's U-18s this past summer, D.C. United Academy midfielder Eryk Williamson, Oakwood SC midfielder Michael Boakye and San Jose Earthquakes Academy midfielder Amir Bashti.
Eighteen of the 20 players are currently with Development Academy clubs, and 19 have Academy ties.
The U-18 MNT is 4-6-1 in international competition in 2014.
U-18 MNT Roster by Position:
GOALKEEPERS (2): Jonathan Klinsmann (Strikers FC; Newport Beach, Calif.), JT Marcinkowski (San Jose Earthquakes; Alamo, Calif.)
DEFENDERS (6): Kyle Duncan (New York Red Bulls; Brooklyn, N.Y.), Malcolm Jones (LA Galaxy; Chino Hills, Calif.), Pablo Pelaez (San Diego Surf; San Diego, Calif.), Mauricio Pineda (Chicago Fire; Bolingbrook, Ill.), Tommy Redding (Orlando City; Oviedo, Fla.), Antonee Robinson (Everton; Liverpool, England)

U-18 MNT Falls 2-0 to Portugal
MAFRA, Portugal (June 8, 2014) – The U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team allowed two goals in the final 20 minutes against Portugal in dropping its second match of the 20th Lisbon International Tournament.
The U.S. (0-1-1; 1pt) will play its third and final tournament match this Tuesday against Sweden (1-0-1; 4pts), which tied Norway (0-0-2; 2pts) in the day's other game 0-0.
Through the first 45 minutes, neither team could take advantage of the chances they created in a tight overall match. U.S. head coach for the tournament Eddie Lewis made two changes at the half, but it was Portugal slew of subs in the 63rd minute that changed the game as Hildeberto twice created both goals for fellow sub Goncalo Guedes.
The game-winner came in the 71st minute when Hilderberto's initial shot was saved by U.S. goalkeeper JT Marcinkowski, but the rebound fell right to Guedes, who tapped home from close range. Hildeberto then fed Guedes for an insurance goal in second-half stoppage time, cutting the ball back from the end line for Guedes to slot into the back of the net.
A four-goal win for the U-18 MNT against Sweden on Tuesday coupled with a 0-0 tie between Portugal and Norway would capture the tournament title for the U.S.

Ahh! This long-sleeved stripy Dolores top is the stuff (my) dreams are made of. This outfit of Marilla's is monochrome perfection, don't you think?
(image source: Cuisine, Couture & Rock 'n' Roll)
This is Juliette's third version of the Dolores batwing pattern, and in her own words it 'feels like wearing pajamas, but way more classy'! With that pixie cut and awesome glasses, I imagine Juliette looks classy in her actual pajamas as well.

More monochrome amazingness. Vondalin123 has created a more casual vibe with her short-sleeved Dolores top by omitting the cuff bands. I salute her (and will probably copy her too at some point!).

Well look at this super cute little 'Where's Wally/Waldo?' number! Giveaway winner Sarah from Fabric Tragic lowered the front neckline slightly for this short-sleeved beauty, and then proceeded to pair it a dark grey Simplicity 2451 skirt (my second favourite skirt pattern of all time, BTW) and some of the nicest shoes I have ever seen.
