THE 15TH STATE
Illinois on Tuesday became the 15th state
to legalize same-sex marriage. The House
of Representatives passed the bill 61-54
and the Senate followed suit, passing it
32-29 and sending it to Gov. Pat Quinn, who
has said he will sign it into law. The bill had
faced months of delay in May after House
members asked for more time to consider it.
It is set to go into effect on June 1.

HUFFINGTON
11.10.13
Twitter went public Thursday morning
under the ticker symbol TWTR, trading
at about $45 a share. The company had
set an initial public offering price of $26
on Wednesday night, which gave Twitter
a market value of more than $18 billion.
All eyes were on the company to see if it
would suffer the same fate as Facebook,
which faced technical problems after it
went public last May.
‘DEGENERATE ART’
UNCOVERED
Authorities revealed Tuesday that
investigators have found more than 1,400
pieces of artwork in a German apartment,
some of which are believed to have been
confiscated by the Nazis and classified as
“degenerate art.” The works include ones by
the famed Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso and
Auguste Renoir. “When you stand in front of the works … you have an incredible feeling of
happiness,” said Meike Hoffmann, an art expert who has been helping the investigation.
