The Bush administration reluctantly declassified the key points of the National Intel Estimate after enough people raised a fuss that Bush weakly bleated somehow about taking something like "HEY, IRAQ IS 100% MAKING US LESS SAFE" out of context.
Bush in his own words said that once we saw this document, we would see the truth for ourselves, as if it were THAT obvious.
Bush also condemned the leak of this document, calling it dangerous for the terrorists to know our estimate of their capabilities (most of the key points were addressed in Al-Qaeda's own estimate that we confiscated). He said our intel analysts would be reluctant to publish future analyses if they thought it might be leaked! Yeah, because analysts would HATE to receive national recognition for their work.
What he also claimed was that this report was leaked for political reasons, and that it would confuse Americans.
That's what really burns me up. I just finished reading George Lakoff's "Whose Freedom?". He is a linguist who talks about how the conservatives have taken a stranglehold on the entire political debate. Through building frames for arguments that progressives cannot escape, and using terms such as "war on terror" (courage through fear), "tax relief" (making taxes appear bad), "homosexual lifestyle" (as if it is a fad choice) and so on to subtly reinforce the Republican agenda, the conservatives control the voting mind. What's more, discipline and initiative are all you need to "pull yourself up by your bootstraps". People are poor because they deserve to be, not because they are stuck in that situation by their circumstances.
The overarching point Lakoff makes is that there are two major frames: there is the strict father frame, the authoritarian conservative. And there is the nurturing maternal frame, the progressive. Conservatives, Republicans, fundamentalist Christians…they all believe in a paternal figure whose word is god, whether that figure is the literal God, the president, or your father. You do not question him. You must be loyal to him. You can trust him. Those who do not respect their superiors will be strictly dealt with.
And thus when Bush tells us that we will only be confused by knowing more about this "war on terror", he is telling us that it is not our right to know. Father knows best. Your president knows best. The state knows best, and classifying everything is for your own good. You will only be told what you need to know and he will take care of you. He does not respect our capacity to govern ourselves.
His administration is against states' rights. Authoritarianism requires a strong central government. Federalism will not fly. Now, states like California are finding ways to work around the administration's weak policies on issues such as illegal immigration and global warming. This demonstrates why I think federalism is probably one of the most important aspects of a working republic/democracy. Just look at how virulently the administration attacks federalism in Iraq. It does not want to see Iraq be broken up into ethnic states, despite that being a popular idea amongst Iraqis. It does not line up with an authoritarian central government that we want to impose.
I highly recommend the book — it helped me to understand where the right is coming from and why it's so frustrating to deal with. The strict, paternal style is a philosophy of life that dovetails nicely with Army life. You don't ask questions in the Army. If your sergeant tells you to do something, you do it. And if you don't, then you'll be doing push-ups until he gets tired.
Another issue the book brings up is how powerful the corporation has become. While the government is constitutionally responsible for a checks and balances system, corporations are not. There is no accountability for a corporation's ability to exert its will upon its employees or customers except for the invisible hand of the marketplace. Agencies designed to slap the corporations down if they take advantage of people have been gutted so that legal avenues for redress are almost useless. Perhaps there needs to be a bill of rights for employees/customers. Radical Republicans are using corporate immunity to subvert constitutional freedoms.
The progressives have a long way to go before they can de-link the political discourse from being swept up in conservative framework, according to Lakoff. But in his book he outlines talking points for progressives to focus on, and traps to stay away from.
As for the estimate, well, it's obvious that the administration is not happy with its conclusions and is de-emphasizing the negative. It has to. If the authoritarian wasn't right, then his entire strength will be questioned.

Although the '4' designation isn't official, Motorola's recently released Moto G and Moto G Plus represent the fourth generation of the smartphone, long held to be one of the best mid-range smartphone deals on the market. And, that's exactly what these two (mostly similar) phones are — terrific mid-range phones that represent a significant step down in quality and price from higher end Motos (see: the Moto Z and Moto Z Force). While some sacrifices are understandably made, both are really solid phones, but perhaps not as polished as usual. Some of those sacrifices in 2016 might send people elsewhere, although at this price, the Moto G family is still one of the best deals on the market.
Note: We reviewed both the Moto G4 and the Moto G4 Plus. The phones are very similar, and will both be discussed in this review. The two differ in amount of RAM available, camera quality, and the presence of a fingerprint scanner. Our G4 review unit had 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, while the G4 Plus had 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage.
Both the Moto G4 and G4 Plus are 5.5″ phones — the Plus designation is confusing, but it doesn't refer to the size of the phone. In fact, save for one exception, both phones are identical in build, down to the 155-gram weight. The phones have metal frames with a removable plastic back — one of a few elements that can be customized using Motorola's Moto Maker tool. The volume rocker and power button are on the right edge, while the 3.5 mm audio jack, left off of the Moto Z phones, is on top. The Micro USB charging port is on the bottom, while a single speaker can be found up top near the front-facing camera. The rear camera protrudes very slightly, if you're not a fan of the camera bump.
The only difference here is that the G4 Plus has a fingerprint scanner at the bottom of the face, next to the microphone. Like on the Moto Z phones, this fingerprint scanner is awkward — its placement makes it look like a home button, but it isn't. Chances are you'll instinctively reach for it as a home button by mistake.
The phones are light and comfortable to hold. They're not as thin as most premium phones at 9.8 mm, but we feel like that makes the phones a little more ergonomic, especially with the rubberized coating on the back. But, with the plastic backs and the use of the older Corning Gorilla Glass 3, they won't be as durable as more expensive phones — using cases or caution is recommended. Previous Moto G owners should note that at 5.5″, these phones are much bigger than older Moto G models.
That plastic backplate is removable, but as usual with the Moto G, the battery is not removable. That's kind of a shame because removable batteries are usually one of the few benefits of removable backs, but as we'll see in performance, this is less of a concern in this generation. Removing the back does reveal the SIM card slot and a microSD card slot, so the news isn't all bad. The microSD slot could not double as a second SIM slot in the review models we received.
There is one change unlikely to be popular with the Moto G faithful. Unlike the third generation Moto G, the Moto G4 and G4 Plus are no longer rated IPX7 for water resistance. Motorola says they have used a water-repellent coating on the front and back, but the phones will be more susceptible to water damage than last year's models. It's an unexpected step back.
Instead of just using a new SoC, Motorola moved up an entire performance tier in Qualcomm's Snapdragon line. Whereas the third generation Moto G had a Snapdragon 410 SoC, the Moto G4 and G4 Plus run on a Snapdragon 617 SoC. The Moto G4 comes with 2 GB of RAM and 16 or 32 GB of storage, while the Moto G4 Plus can be configured with 2 GB/16 GB or 4 GB/64 GB. Both have the same 1920 x 1080 IPS displays and 3,000 mAh batteries, which is up from 2,470 mAh last year.
|Moto G4
|Moto G4 Plus
|PC Mark for Android Work
|GFXBench GL 3.1 1080p Manhattan Offscreen
|255.9 frames
|259.4 frames
|3D Mark Sling Shot ES 3.1
|PC Mark for Android Work Battery Life
|7 hours, 13 minutes
|6 hours, 41 minutes
As we'd expect, benchmark tests indicate both are about equal, with the G4 Plus getting a performance boost from the 4 GB of RAM. When multitasking or downloading apps or updates in the background, the G4 is much more sluggish than the G4 Plus, especially when trying to scroll. If there's any one difference between the two phones that would make the extra cost of the G4 Plus worth it, it'd be this. Graphics performance is a far cry from the premium tier, as always with mid-range, but it's in line with this price range, and blows away slightly cheaper phones like the HTC Desire 530.
Battery life for both was terrific, and in reality lasted us all day until it was time for bed. Both phones work with Motorola's Turbo Charging technology (not Qualcomm's Quick Charge 3.0), which, as Motorola promises, provide about six hours of use with a 15 minute charge. The Turbo Charging wall adapter is included with both phones.
The 1920 x 1080 IPS displays look great. They stack up well to most 1440p displays, and colors are faithfully reproduced without looking washed out, dull, or oversaturated. While they don't get as bright as the more expensive Moto Z phones, they performed well outdoors, with maximum brightness making them useful in direct sunlight. The forward-firing speaker is powerful and clear at moderate volumes, although there is some noticeable distortion and crackling at max volume.
Wi-Fi 802.11ac, LTE, Bluetooth 4.1, and GPS connectivity all worked well, with no unusual reception or connection stability issues cropping up. Unfortunately, there's no NFC connectivity on either phone, which is a big loss now that Android Pay is becoming more widely used. In any case, call quality on both T-Mobile and Verizon networks was excellent, with both parties hearing each other clearly.
Aside from the differences in RAM and storage, camera quality is the big difference between these two phones. Both phones share a 5 MP front camera with an f/2.2 lens. The G4 has a 13 MP rear camera with an f/2.0 lens, autofocus, and dual-LED flash, with HDR and the ability to take 1080p video at 30 fps. The G4 plus kicks the sensor up to 16 MP while adding phase detect and laser autofocus. They both end up serviceable — the keen-eyed will notice some lack of clarity, but they're perfectly good for casual shots that won't be scrutinized much afterwards. There's not much here to experiment with, either — there are very few manual settings to adjust, so go into the G4 knowing that it's for quick, informal shots.
The G4 Plus camera is quite a bit better, as you can see from the sample photos below. The G4 Plus photos are brighter, with more accurate color reproduction and clarity. The top photos are from the G4, the bottom from the G4 Plus.
Both phones run Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box. Unlike the Moto Z phones, which have been roped into the Droid line and are Verizon exclusives for now, the Moto G4 phones are available unlocked. So, not only do they have stock Android, they also don't come with all the carrier bloatware. That helps both phones run smoothly, although we still have to note that the G4 lags noticeably when several apps are running. Having no bloatware is particularly important if you opt for the 16 GB Moto G4 (the cheapest option at $200) — Android 6.0 takes up a lot of space on its own, and extra bloatware, particularly from Verizon, would likely leave you with less than half of that initial storage.
No tapping or waving to wake these phones, unfortunately, but both the Moto G4 and the G4 Plus will wake up to show time and notifications when picked up, thanks to the accelerometer.

There are 11 types of dances popular in Sangam times. Madhavi of Silappadhikaram was trained in all those types. It was in the context of her Dance - inauguration that we come across detailed information of these dances and music that existed in olden times.
Today think of indigenous dance forms of Tamilnadu, we are told that Karakattam, Poikkaal kudhirai aattam, Marakkaal aattam and Kootthu are some of the indigenous ones. The irony is that some of them are attributed to Krishna whose times preceded the Indus valley civilization for which Mr Karunanidhi has a special liking.
Of the 11 dances, Krishna had pioneered three. The karakaattam of today which is danced by balancing the pot in the head was originally done by Krishna in Tamil lands where Banasuran was ruling. Krishna's grandson Anirudh fell in love with Uzhai (Usha), the daughter of Banasura. He was imprisoned by Baanasura. In order to get him released stealthily, Krishna did the Kudakkootthu - danced on the streets of Baanasura by balancing pots on his head to divert the attention of the guards. This dance of Krishna has been immortalized in Aazhwar's pasurams and also by the dancers of those days. This form lives on even today as Karakaattam!
Pic source: anikartick.blogspot.com
What would the Dravidian scholars say for this? Do they deny Krishna's existence? Can they say that this dance was inspired by tradition form the North (Mathura / Krishna cult)? Tamil texts clearly speak about this dance as being introduced by Krishna.
All the 11 dances were introduced by Gods and Goddesses. There is a sutra about these dances given by Adiyaarku nallaar in his commentary in Silappadhikaaram. Sekkizhar also is said to have refereed to this in Periya Puranam.
The dances have been serialized in specific order of two groups. They are nindraadal and Veezhnthaadal.
நின்றாடல் ஆறு
வீழ்ந்தாடல் ஐந்து.
அவை " அல்லியம், கொட்டி, குடை, குடம், பாண்டரங்கம், மல்லுடன் நின்றாடல் ஆறு."
"துடி, கடையம், பேடு, மறக்காலே, பாவை வடிவுடன் வீழ்ந்தாடல் ஐந்து."
They have been serialized as
first 2 done by Lord Shiva (இறைவனார்) = (கொட்டி,பாண்டரங்கம்)
the next 2 done by Krishna = (அல்லியம், மல்லாடல் )
the next 2 done by Muruga = (துடி, குடை) Kaavadi is the present name of Kudai.
These 6 are the dances done to celebrate success over enemies.
வென்றி பற்றி நிகழ்ந்த இக்கூத்துக்கள் முதலில் வைக்கப்பட்டன.
Next comes Vinodhak kootthu (விநோதக் கூத்து) the strange dance of balancing pots on the head. (Kudakkootthu)
This was done to delude the enemy and secure the release of Aniruddhan.
This dance was first done by Krishna in Tamil areas where Baanaasura (the descendant of Maha Bali) ruled.
This is supposed to be Mahabalipuram - the original area now submerged. This place is mentioned as "Vaana Perur" in Silappadhikaram.
Underwater excavations have shown that there are traces of submerged city off the coast of Mahabalipuram.
But the Karunanidhi government would not do anything to initiate research on this part because that would put at naught their Dravidian theories. That would establish connection with North, with Krishna and substantiate that people of the North and the South had mixed well in those times. If not so, how could the grandson of Krishna who could be expected to be living in Mathura or Dwaraka - in the north of the Vindhyas, come to south and fall in love with a girl in the a place called Vaanan Perur, miles into the sea from today's Mahabalipuram?
The next dance form (8th) was the one done by Kaaman (son of Krishna) as Pedu (பேடு).
காமன், ஆண்மை திரிந்து பேடியைப் போல ஆடவே இது பேடு எனப்பட்டது.
The Koovagam kootthu has its origin in this dance form.
The last 3 were done by goddesses.
The 9th dance was Marakkaal dance. (மரக்கால்)
This was done by MaayavaL (மாயவள் ). She is Durga.
In a bid to win over asuras, she fixed wooden legs to avoid the poisonous creatures on the ground.
She danced her way with those wooden legs and overpowered them
The 10th dance was done by Lakshmi and was called as Paavaik kootthu. (பாவைக் கூத்து )கொல்லிப்பாவை உருவில் அவள் ஆடியதைக் கண்ட அவுணர் போர் செய்யாது மோகித்து விழுந்தனர்.
The 11th was kadayam (கடையம்) done by Indraani.
We can see that all the dances have been pioneered by Hindu gods and goddesses. The Tamil society had been a Hindu society. Krishna's impact has been very high among the Tamils.
The Kuravaik kootthu danced by cowherds in Mullai lands (refer Kalith thogai) was a popular dance form that existed in Mathura and done by Krishna.
The alliyam done by Krishna was same as Hallisaka of Gujarat.
These dances were done by Krishna and his friends in his boyhood days. Harivamsa has an account of Bala charitha where it is said that Krishna used to dance Hallisaka to enthuse others including the cattle.
The same reference is found in Silappadhikaram in Aachiyar kuravai where the girsl readied to do the dance from Bala charitha ( வால சரிதம் ) . Details of Krishna connection can be read in my old article on Nappinnai ( http://www.tamilhindu.com/2009/12/who-is-nappinnai/) . This Alliyam or Hallisaka was done after Krishna over powered the elephant Kuvalayapeetam of Kamsa.
The scenes of Hallisaka can be seen replicated in the Aachiyar kuravai.
It goes in stages of Krishna winning a demon, winning Kaaliya and finally Kamsa. The Silappdhikaram songs also follow such sequence.
There are 2 ways of explaining how the Gujarati Hallisaka entered Tamil lands and became its own by a name "Alliyam" .
One is that the Tamils learnt it from Gujarat.
Another is that migrated Dwarakans brought with them this dance and the existing cowherd population adapted them in course of time. But Madhari's dialogues in Silappadhikaaram sound as though the dance was owned by then right from the times of Balacharitham.
Krishna's visits to Tamillands is authenticated by the Kudakkootthu (karakaattam) and mention of his name as one who attended the 2nd sangam at Kapaatapuram. Krishna lived 5000 years ago. These dance forms and migration on account of submergence of Dwaraka must have happened 5000 years ago. There is a mention in Kaliththogai of Cowherd community that existed in submerged Kumari lands to have migrated northward along with the Pandyan king in the wake of submergence of Kumari.
These submergences have simultaneously happened or one after the other and brought migrated people from Dwaraka and from Kumari to the present day Tamilnadu lands. The identity of these dance forms with Tamillands show that the people have had same culture, same language (Tamil as spoken language) and coexisted with a same identity. These views must be researched and more inputs must be added. This view resets the Indian past history. Today only Tamil texts are capable of substantiating findings of such a research. Such a research is likely to make Tamil more ancient - playing an inevitable role in the culture of all Indians of those days. The first requirement to achieve this is to shed the Dravidian mind set and look from Tamil texts without bias.
The references to Krishna and Mahabharatha as found in sangam texts is given below. (Courtesy :www.hinduismtoday.com )

Roundup - Control Freaks, Unite
Ever try playing a software synthesizer with a mouse? Ever try painting a 747 with a Q-Tip? You get the point: Tedious does not equal fun, and we're supposed to be playing music—not tediousing music. Music is a hands-on activity, and the more you can wrest control over your software from your mouse to a special-purpose control surface, the better.
There's been a vast proliferation of controllers lately as more musicians go virtual and want a better link to their software than a keyboard or mouse. This roundup covers a little something for everyone, and serves as a fine example of the variety of controllers targeted at electronic musicians.
Korg microKEY25
USB-powered, micro-key portable keyboard $110 MSRP, $70 street
Laptops and iPads have inspired compact controllers, designed for music on-the-go, that can fit in a travel bag, small suitcase, or even a laptop bag. However, they're also convenient to pop into a USB port when you want to check out something without even leaving your chair.
The microKEY25 has (duh!) micro keys with just enough key motion resistance for a more-than-decent feel. The USB port is a standard B-type connector; while class-compliant, a dedicated USB/ MIDI driver allows using editing software. The keyboard's velocity is very predictable, but there's no aftertouch. Concerning accessories, the microKEY25 comes with a 32" cable.
The microKEY25 weighs 1.43 lbs., draws less than 100mA from the USB port so it's iPad-powerable with the Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit (however, Korg recommends a powered hub for extended use), and works with Core MIDI-compatible apps such as Korg's iMS-20. Controls include a joystick and four buttons: Arpeggiator, sustain/tap tempo, octave down, and octave up.
The octave buttons use color and flashing to indicate the current octave range; the joystick defaults to modulation when moved up, breath control when moved down, and pitch bend in the left and right directions. (Push down for an additional switch control.) Except for bend, all of these can be re-assigned to different controllers.
Software The microKEY25 comes with licenses for downloadable free software: Korg M1Le virtual synth (with $99 upgrade offer to the full Korg Legacy Collection Special Bundle), instruments from Applied Acoustics Systems (Strum Acoustic Session, Lounge Lizard Session, and Ultra Analog Session), Toontrack's EzDrummer Lite software drum sound module, and a discount coupon for Ableton Live, Live Suite, and Live LE software. You can also download the free, cross-platform Korg KONTROL editor and USB-MIDI driver.
The KONTROL software lets you re-assign controllers, choose arpeggiator characteristics, and select one of eight keyboard velocity curves or a variable constant velocity value. Any custom edits you write to the microKEY25 stay in the unit until changed—it doesn't revert to the factory defaults on power-off.
The Arpeggiator It's fun, and can accept external clock, run internally, or with the Auto setting, sense external clock and if not present, run internally. You can use the joystick to control direction (up or down, off or triggered) and when running internally, there's tap tempo using the Sustain button. Note resolution is 1/32 to whole notes, with a range of up to four octaves—there's even swing.
Good Things, Small Packages, and All That The microKEY25 seems like it would hold up well—I tried twisting the case to check for flex, but it was insignificant. The keys feel better than you would expect given the price, and the KONTROL editor adds useful flexibility. I also appreciate the joystick; while small, it's off to the keyboard's left so you can manipulate it easily while playing the keys. Korg has the "small" thing down (I use their nanoSERIES2 controllers a lot), and the microKEY25 is no exception.
Samson Graphite 49
USB keyboard/DAW control surface
$299.99 MSRP, $199.99 street
Keyboard controllers range from "I just want a keybed with a minimal budget hit" to elaborate affairs with enough faders and buttons to look like a mixing console with a keyboard attached. Samson's Graphite falls between those two extremes—but its capabilities lean more toward the latter, while price leans more toward the former. It's compact, costeffective, solid, and definitely worth a close look.
Overview Graphite 49 has 49 full-size, semi-weighted keys with velocity and aftertouch. (It's not "afterswitch," but rather, is quite smooth.) Controllers include nine 30mm faders, eight "endless" rotary encoders, 16 buttons, four drum pads, transport controls, octave and transpose buttons, mod wheel, and pitch bend. Connectors consist of a standard-sized USB connector, 5-pin MIDI out, sustain pedal jack, and a jack for a 9V adapter—generally not needed as Graphite 49 is buspowered, but if you're using it with something like an iPad and Camera Connection Kit, tone module, rack synthe, etc., you'll need an AC adapter.
Despite the low price, I don't think reliability will be an issue—the box showed obvious signs of serious "UPS abuse," but it worked as soon as plugged in.
Operational Modes Graphite 49 has four main modes. Performance mode is optimized for playing virtual synthesizers or hardware tone modules, and provides full access to its hardware controllers. Zone mode has a master keyboard orientation, with four zones to create splits and layers, but the controllers aren't in play except for pitch bend, modulation, and pedal. Preset mode revolves around control surface capabilities for several popular programs, while Setup mode is for creating custom presets or edits.
There's a relationship among these modes; for example, any mode you choose will be based on the current preset. So, if you create a preset with Zone assignments and then go to Performance mode without changing presets, the Performance will adopt Zone 1's settings.
Control Surface Options The control surface capabilities are under-documented; you'd never even know that Graphite 49 is Mackie Control-compatible. Fortunately there's now a link at the samsontech.com site that details how to use Graphite 49 with various programs, but you'll need some controller and MIDI savvy to create your own presets.
I tested the presets for Apple Logic, Avid Pro Tools, Ableton Live, Cakewalk Sonar, Propellerhead Reason, MOTU Digital Performer, Sony Acid Pro (also Sony Vegas), and PreSonus Studio One Pro. They all worked exactly as advertised, but note that Reason control is intended for individual modules (e.g., you can control the mixer, synth, or effects devices, but only individual channels in the "SSL" mixer as each channel is a separate device). There are also presets for Steinberg Cubase and Nuendo, Mackie Tracktion, MK Control (whatever that is!), Adobe Audition, FL Studio, and Magix Samplitude as well as 14 user-programmable presets and a default, generalpurpose Graphite preset. I'd like to be able to save and load presets via Sys Ex, but 14 user presets will likely be all most people need.
The faders control level while the rotaries edit pan, with the buttons usually controlling solo and mute, with some variations. The Bank buttons change the group of 8 channels being controlled (e.g., from 1-8 to 9-16), while the Channel buttons move the group one channel at a time (e.g., from 1-8 to 2-9), and there are also transport controls. With Pro Tools, you need to select HUI mode, which doesn't support the Bank and Channel shifting.
The adoption of the Mackie Control protocol is vastly more reassuring than, for example, M-Audio's proprietary DirectLink control for their Axiom keyboards, which usually lagged behind current software versions. We'll see whether these presets can be updated in the future, but it seems that the "DAW-specific preset element" relates mostly to labeling control functions, as the Mackie protocol handles the inherent functionality; besides, you can always . . .
Roll Your Own Editing follows the usual cost-saving arrangement of entering setup mode, then using the keyboard keys (with—thank you!— highly readable labels above the keys) to enter data. The relatively large and informative display is also helpful. Thankfully Samson has developed a software editor, but the front-panel programming is pretty transparent.
Rather than describe all the possible edits, some of the highlights are choosing one of seven velocity curves as well as three fixed values (individually selectable for the keyboard and pads), reversing the fader direction for use as drawbars with virtual organ instruments, assigning controls to the five virtual MIDI output ports, changing the aftertouch assignment to a controller number, and the like. Also note that the pads, sliders, rotaries, and buttons have two separate banks so you can access double the number of parameters compared to the number of physical controls.
Pretty Darn Slick Overall, this is a highly capable and appealing controller—it even comes with Native Instruments' Komplete Elements, which is a sweet bonus. Although Samson is a new name in controllers, Graphite 49's full-size keys, compact footprint, comfortable keybed, control surface capabilities, and pleasing aesthetic design are a big deal—and at this attractive price point, you're also getting serious value. Samson is a new name in controllers, but Graphite 49 and its related keyboard Carbon 49 (less expensive and very iPad-friendly) have made an auspicious beginning. Graphite's full-size keys, compact footprint, comfortable keybed, control surface capabilities, and pleasing aesthetic design are a big deal—and at this price, you're also getting serious value.
Synesthesia Mandala mk 2.9
USB drum controller and sound library
$349 direct
Although Mandala mk 2.9 is intended for real drummers (hey, it's good enough for Joe Barresi, Danny Carey of Tool, and Will Calhoun), it's also of interest to all electronic musicians. For example, although it includes sound-generating, cross-platform "Virtual Brain" software that you can play through an audio system as you would other electronic drums, it's also a MIDI controller that can drive virtual drums, and rewire audio into DAWs.
Its main feature (aside from responsiveness) is a multizone strike surface that can detect up to 1,000 different strike positions, incorporated in six circular strike zones. It also has 128 concentric "rings" that extend outward from the center and define a MIDI controller value. The package comes with the pad itself, software with a sound library and interface, a pair of sticks, bolt for a mounting stand, USB cable, and 1,500 samples from a Ludwig Black Beauty snare (which is also compatible with NI's Battery).
The Virtual Brain This editor for Mandala pads also accesses a proprietary sample library with more than 600 multisampled sounds; you can also load your own (WAV, AIF, SDII). Many of the multisamples are "position-based" samples from center to edge, which replicate the feel, not only the sound, of various instruments. Virtual Brain handles up to three pads (although you can connect as many as you want to your computer for use with a program like Battery), and the company offers a discount for multiple pads.
Each zone has volume, pan, pitch, and reverb send controls, as well as the option to choose its sound. You can insert up to two series effects per zone, choosing from 14 possibilities (including some nice lo-fi options) as well as settings for tonal sounds, an amplitude envelope, and up to 26 velocity curves (including 10 user-programmable curves). The user curves can have any arbitrary shape, and are programmed on a Tools page where you can also define a per-pad LFO and create a custom user scale.
The Tones options are very interesting. You can set a sound root note, associated scale, which notes will sound within that scale, and a pattern so that successive hits change pitch in a variety of ways. But the icing on the cake is the per-zone Zone Control window, which can tie seven zone parameters and all effects parameters to strike position, strike velocity, and LFO, as well as set the range each controller covers.
Finally, each pad has its own "global" effects rack that affects all zones. It features three series effects, drawn from the same roster as the zone effects, as well as a limiter and the global reverb that works with the zone sends.
What It All Means This flexibility lets you control multiple sounds and effects with a single pad. Melodic sounds can provide a sort of mini-gamelan, with some zones having very precise, controlled velocity curves while others can be almost "switched" to trigger sounds. You can have exceptionally sophisticated control over a single sound, or work with multiple sounds and have a virtual kit on one pad. I wouldn't necessarily call this merely a drum pad, but more like a percussion pad . . . maybe even a percussion ensemble pad.
Extensions You can feed audio directly into a DAW via ReWire. (However, with 64-bit Windows, this requires working with 32-bit program versions—64-bit ReWire hasn't been implemented yet in Virtual Brain.) Other ways to pipe in audio include using Soundflower on the Mac, or Virtual Audio Cable with Windows. As a MIDI controller, you can choose the MIDI channel and controller number caused by striking the surface, but the MIDI notes themselves are fixed (60-65). This works for many drum programs, but hopefully a future rev would allow a way to assign these notes as desired. The documentation could use elaboration—some features, such as zone linking, aren't explained (although to be fair, it's not hard to figure out), and the description of using ReWire is pretty much non-existent. But these aren't deal-breakers, and the software itself is stable.
So Is It a . . . Hit? $349 may seem steep for a pad, but you also get a cool sound library and editing software. Furthermore, I have no doubt that the technology necessary to implement the multizone/ multiposition technology is not trivial. Add in the effects and tonal possibilities, and Mandala reveals itself as a sophisticated, novel controller that goes well beyond your basic drum pad.
YouRock Guitar YRG
Guitarist-friendly MIDI controller
$359 MSRP, $249 street
We covered the original YRG in the July 2012 issue—but now only a few months later, we have . Just don't expect a guitar; expect an extremely cost-effective MIDI controller with surprisingly responsive and accurate tracking that lets you employ guitar technique (and looks like something out of Guitar Hero).
It works so well because the neck's "frets" and "strings" are raised plastic that serve as switches, although they do feel quite comfortable. Six physical "dummy" strings trigger notes with velocity, and there's a pitch bend wheel disguised as a whammy bar. (Of course, you can't do conventional finger vibrato.) YRG does USB over MIDI with Mac/ Windows, sends MIDI out a 5-pin DIN connector, or outputs audio over a stereo 1/8" headphone jack or mono 1/4" guitar cable from a set of onboard sounds.
However, it's crucial to download the manual, study it, and delve into the various menu tweaks to optimize YRG for your playing style. And the more you know about synth setup, the better; YRG works best in mono mode, with a multi-timbral synth (or six instances of a synth) where each timbre or instance responds to one channel and is set for a single note of polyphony. This configuration provides the most guitarlike feel and highest accuracy.
Ch-ch-ch-changes The version uses a new pickup design, and while the original tracked very well, the new version tracks even better. There are also more variables to optimize tracking, and the whammy bar now transmits bend data over all channels when in mono mode—a welcome improvement.
I didn't cover the unit's internal sounds in my original review because to my ears, they weren't a selling point. However, the new sounds are vastly improved, and you can layer a guitar and synth sound—so with battery power, you can just plug into your interface for instant guitar synth sounds. (Use four AA batteries, not USB, with the internal sounds unless you have an extremely clean USB power source.)
Furthermore, you can restrict the layers to particular zones, like synth bass on the bottom three strings, and guitar on the top three strings, or on all strings . . . whatever works. The 99 presets can now store the chorus setting, transposition, pan, and zone data. MIDI implementation is more sophisticated, and includes (really!) the ability to trigger clips and scenes in Ableton Live, as well as move the area within the Ableton clip matrix being controlled. The frets and two body switches (e.g., for preset up/down) can serve as MIDI switch controllers, and you can map the joystick to MIDI controllers. There are various other minor improvements and options, and all the features (like alternate tunings and recording) from the original version are retained.
Finally, in addition to being able to buy an optional headstock (recommended—even though the headstock serves no functional purpose, it makes for more comfortable playing), you can now customize the with a pickguard.
Is This the Answer to MIDI guitar? No—but it's a great answer to a guitarist-friendly MIDI controller. I not only appreciate its accuracy and tracking speed, but also, that I need to do very little MIDI data cleanup after recording. Although the YRG-1000 turned a lot of heads—even for people who thought they wouldn't like it—the YRG improves the concept and execution even further.
Native Instruments Traktor Kontrol F1
Remix Deck controller for Traktor Pro 2.5
$279 direct
DJs continue to go beyond the "two turntables" concept—temposynched effects, more decks, live instruments, re-sampling, and more. Native Instruments has pushed the DJ envelope for years; the Remix Deck feature that debuted in Traktor Pro 2.5 is a far more sophisticated version of the sample decks from previous versions. The Remix Decks combine features associated with sampling, Ableton Live's clip view, and conventional Traktor decks (quantizing, sample display with playhead, loop controls, sync, etc.). Additionally, it's easy to save and load complete Remix sets. In a way, this feature is like adding a DJoriented sampler.
Traktor Pro allows assigning any or all of its four decks to Remix Decks. Each one has four sample slots (roughly analogous to four "tracks" of samples), a level and filter control (up for highpass, down for lowpass), and 16 cells for each slot in which you can load one-shots or loops; a slot can play one cell at a time. But, the thing that makes this more of a "remix" deck is its ability to capture samples from a Track Deck or the loop recorders. You can also drag-and-drop patterns from Maschine, which is very cool and makes it easy to populate the Remix Decks with patterns. To summarize, each Remix Deck as a 4 x 16 matrix of samples, whose content can be loaded, replaced, and fluidly edited. With sufficient practice you can build music on a "cellular" level from these components instead of, or in addition to, full mixed tracks.
That description only scratches (get it?) the surface of the Remix Decks' capabilities, but let's proceed to the F1 controller, which is optimized to control these decks. I use F1 with the S2, and they work together very harmoniously.
Enter the Matrix NI does serious hardware, and F1 is no exception: metal panel, four 45mm faders for slot level control, four rotary pots for the slot filters (with center detent for flat response), legible labeling, 16-pad matrix, and various selection/navigation buttons. Although optimized for Traktor Pro, NI's Controller Editor program can reconfigure the various controls for other applications ( just don't expect a mini-Maschine; the pads aren't velocity-sensitive).
A downloadable Kontrol F1 tutorial set showcases the main control options and serves as a fine introduction. It also demonstrates the extensive use of color and visual feedback to guide you while using F1. Although learning its capabilities isn't particularly difficult, becoming good at playing F1 requires practice. (Got any musician friends who diss DJs? Put together a set with F1, play it, then say "here, you try it." Sit back, watch, and laugh.)
The Eyes Have It F1 is primarily about triggering the slot's cells, but it's also a selfcontained "ecosystem" in which you can specify quantizing, adjust key and pitch, reverse samples, trim length, set sync, browse for samples, change "pages" of four slot cells to play other groups of four cells, and more. That may sound daunting, but I can't emphasize enough how intelligently F1 uses color. For example, you can call up a view in the matrix that shows the play mode at a glance: A blue button indicates one-shot, green indicates loop, and dim shows there's no sample loaded in that cell. Trigger mode and sync are equally obvious. You can also choose colors when playing to remind you what kind of sound is in which cell, and a dual 7-segment display provides further feedback.
Kool Kontrol With the S2, I tend to choose two Track Decks and two Remix Decks; until F1 came along, I moused around the Remix Decks and that seemed adequate. But after using F1 extensively, I realize just how inadequate a mouse is for unleashing the Remix Decks' potential. If you use the Remix Decks, you need F1. And if you don't use them, you almost certainly will after you find out how much fun it is to control them with the Kontrol F1. Native Instruments has done it again.

The Society of Biblical Literature is a constituent society of the American Council of Learned Societies (since 1929),[1] with the stated mission to "Foster Biblical Scholarship". It is the oldest and largest international scholarly membership organization in the field of biblical studies. Membership is open to the public, including over 8,500 individuals from over 80 countries.[1]
The founding meeting took place among eight founders in the New York City office of Philip Schaff, in January 1880. Eighteen people attended the first annual meeting in June of that year. The society's ongoing activities include an annual meeting in North America that it claims is "the largest international gathering of biblical scholars". There are also annual regional meetings throughout the United States and an additional annual meeting held outside North America. The 2009 Annual meeting will be held in New Orleans, Louisiana from November 21-24.[2]
The society publishes several serials, including:
The SBL serves as the authorized North American distributor for books published by Sheffield Phoenix Press (SPP) and as the distributor for the Brown Judaic Studies Monograph Series (BJS). The society publishes a number of other monographic series, including Academia Biblica, Archaeology and Biblical Studies, Biblical Encyclopedia, Early Judaism and Its Literature, Global Perspectives on Biblical Scholarship, History of Biblical Studies, Masoretic Studies, Reprints from Brill, JSOT Press, Resources for Biblical Study, Semeia Studies, Septuagint and Cognate Studies, Studies in Biblical Literature, Symposium, Text-Critical Studies, The New Testament in the Greek Fathers, Writings from the Ancient World and Writings from the Greco-Roman World. With the new Ancient Near East Monographs, the SBL became one of the leaders in the production of on-line, open-access monograph series.
The society provides some helpful electronic resources for biblical scholarship, including resources for teachers and students of all levels as well as clergy.[3] The society's handbook of style provides guidelines for academic publications, including a detailed system of romanization of Hebrew. The society also distributes high-quality fonts for biblical languages free of charge on its web site.[4] Some of the fonts are in the public domain, while others are offered to individual scholars for non-profit use only.
The society is active in technology research for biblical scholarship, maintaining affiliations with technical organizations such as OASIS and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the Open Scripture Information Standard.
The Society of Biblical Literature was the "first association of teachers and clergy on an inter-school and inter-confessional basis" to be formed in the United States.[2] Originally named the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis, the title was shortened to its current name in 1962.[2]
"It appears that Frederic Gardiner of Berkeley Divinity School in Middletown, Connecticut, initiated conversations with Philip Schaff and Charles Augustus Briggs of Union Theological Seminary in New York about the need for such a group. The outcome was a preliminary meeting held in Schaff's study in New York City on the second of January, 1880, 'to take into consideration the formation of a Society for the promotion of study in Biblical Literature and Exegesis.'[3] "[2] James Strong of Drew Theological Seminary, and four other men, also attended this first meeting in Schaff's office.[2]
The inaugural public meeting followed shortly, over the 4th and 5th of June. Among the eighteen who attended this meeting were Francis Brown and Joseph Henry Thayer. Schaff presented a paper titled 'The Pentecostal and the Corinthian Glossolalia'.[4] Officers for the society were elected, the first president being Daniel Raynes Goodwin (1811–1890), who served for seven years until 1887.[2] Goodwin had previously been president of Trinity College (Connecticut).
Over the following ten years scholars who joined the Society included: Henry Preserved Smith (1881), William Rainey Harper (1882), Benjamin Breckinridge Warfield (1882), George Foot Moore (1883), Ernest DeWitt Burton (1883), James Rendel Harris, Caspar René Gregory of Leipzig, Shailer Mathews and Nathaniel Schmidt.[2]

450 Years of French History in Florida
Tuesday, June 24, 2014 to Sunday, February 22, 2015
The extraordinary career of the Huguenot artist Jacques Le Moyne de Morgues (c. 1533 – 1588) has only relatively recently been defined and described. Not much is known of his early years. A native of Dieppe, France, Le Moyne likely received some artistic training there, as the city was a leader in 16th century cartography and manuscript illumination. In 1564, he journeyed to Florida with a group of French soldiers, led by René Laudonnière, as the expedition's official cartographer and artist. While Laudonnière and the others were charged with the establishment of a Huguenot colony at Fort Caroline, Le Moyne was charged with documenting the customs of the Timucua, the native inhabitants of the North Florida area, as well as local flora and fauna. Unfortunately, a Spanish attack destroyed the Fort and killed most of its inhabitants, and Le Moyne and a handful of others were forced to return to France. Unable to salvage his illustrations of the settlement and the Timucua, Le Moyne reportedly would recreate these scenes at the end of his life. A Flemish publisher, Theodor DeBry, and his two sons claimed to use Le Moyne's watercolors as inspiration for the illustrations in their picture book, A Brief History of Those Things Which Befell the French in Florida, which they published in 1591. Despite many errors that are visible to historians, this publication is considered to be an important text in the history of exploration. The selection of images in this exhibiton comes from this publication.
The exhibition will be on view from June 24, 2014 until February 22, 2015.

High pressure over southeastern Canada this morning will be a key factor in influencing New Jersey's weather through next week. As the high pressure shifts from southeastern Canada to the New England coastal waters this weekend and then to the western Atlantic, winds at the surface and aloft will veering to the southwest, sending a hot and humid air mass into New Jersey by the start of next week.
Today through Sunday, high pressure will shift towards the coastal waters of New England leading to clear skies to scattered cloud cover. An extremely isolated shower is possible in the afternoon hours, especially over northwestern New Jersey, however most locations will remain dry. Winds will veer from the north to northeast at 5 to 10 mph by tomorrow morning and to the southeast at 5 to 10 mph by Sunday afternoon. A Polar/Maritime air mass will be in place this weekend leading to very low humidity with dew points only in the 50's. Temperatures will range from the upper 50's to lower 60's for lows and lower to mid 80's for highs. Overall, another pleasant weekend is on the way!
By Monday, the high pressure system will shift to a position due east of New Jersey which will lead to winds veering from the southeast on Sunday night to the southwest at the surface and aloft. The high pressure system will remain in this position through Wednesday, transporting a hot and humid air mass into New Jersey. With a more tropical air mass in place, isolated to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will be a threat in the afternoon and evening hours. Morning fog and haze will also be a concern, reducing visibility. Low temperatures will range from the upper 60's to lower 70's throughout the state. High temperatures mid 80's along the coast and upper 80's to lower 90's throughout the rest of New Jersey. The higher levels of humidity will make temperatures fell like the mid to upper 90's.
The hazy, hot, and humid conditions will come to an end on Wednesday night into Thursday morning with a passage of a cold front which will produce widespread showers and thunderstorms. Once the cold front clears the coast on Thursday morning, Canadian high pressure will take hold and remain in control through the Fourth of July weekend! Under the influence of this high pressure system, humidity will crash with dew points back in the 50's. Skies will be clear for the most part with only a few scattered clouds. Temperatures will range from the upper 50's to lower 60's for lows and lower to mid 80's for highs. Overall, a very comfortable and pleasant Fourth of July weekend looks to be setting up!

Studies link it with increased rates of chronic bronchitis, lung cancer and heart disease.
Available on Amazon, the air masks will also be available at all other leading Ecommerce websites. The air protect mask is currently just been launched on Ecommerce and has been exclusively launched on Amazon for the first few days. Talking about the launch, Arjun Purkayastha Marketing Director - Dettol, said, "Dettol has consistently worked towards solutions for improving the health and hygiene of our consumers. The risk from air pollution is very real and getting worse by the day."

Gary Coleman Hospitalized After Seizure - The Hollywood Gossip
Troubled actor Gary Coleman is being treated at a Los Angeles area hospital after suffering a seizure on the set of The Insider Friday, the show itself reports.
The star has "received immediate medical attention by Drew Pinsky, M.D. who was sitting next to him at the time," according to The Insider. Yes, seriously.
"He was transferred in stable condition to a local hospital."
Last month, the 41-year-old was briefly hospitalized in L.A. after he suffered what he called "seizure activity." He was also arrested for domestic violence.
Gary Coleman Photo
Gary Coleman has a history of health problems.
It's not clear if Gary's wife Shannon is with him at this time. The ailing Coleman was born with failed kidneys and underwent two transplants before age 14.
At one stage in his life, he underwent dialysis four times a day to survive.
It's unclear if his recent seizures are kidney-related, but regardless, it's good to hear things appear stable. Here's hoping Gary recovers fully and quickly.

Body position is your riding foundation, and it requires a fair amount of effort and a strong and stable "core" (your core is more than just abdominal muscles, it also includes your lower back muscles, oblique muscles, and hip flexors). Every physical part of riding starts from proper body position and it protects your body.
That brings us to the proper Hip Hinge, something I didn't learn about until 1999 (5 years into my pro career and 10 years after purchasing my first
Bending at the belly button is a weak, not athletic position that causes us to ride poorly and leads to massive back pain. The Hinge is your power center, it helps you stay centered and neutral and it protects your back.
How to practice the hinge:
- First practice off the bike, find your hip crease, push slightly back on the crease and lower your chest by hinging.
- Shoulders back and down, belly button pulled toward your spine, back flat.
- Hold that position, feel it in your hamstrings (if you can't hinge so your torso is parallel to the ground your hamstrings are really tight! Stretch and roll them out!), feel it in your lower back, it should feel comfortable but require effort.
- Now, bend at your belly button and compare how that feels, probably weak and painful.
- Notice that the further you hinge the further forward your chest and head go and the further back your hips go, this is crucial to staying centered! When you bend at the belly, not only does it strain your back and make you weak but it doesn't automatically keep you centered either.
- Once you have practiced it and felt it off your bike, find a mellow hill, preferably
off trail, on a paved section ideally (whenever you are on a trail you tend to lose focus on what you are practicing as you are now more concerned with staying on the trail!) and practice this both seated and climbing and standing and descending.
- Focus on exaggerating all the pieces of this like I am in the video. Notice my elbows are even more forward than they need to be and my chest while climbing is much lower than it needs to be for the grade I'm climbing. Exaggeration is a great learning tool, you will usually end up halfway between your old way and the new way, so if you don't exaggerate you will end halfway on the trail.
- Once you feel like you have created a "circuit" for your body to follow, take this to a mellow trail and practice. Check out this post on how we learn physical skills: https://wp.me/p49ApH-19s
- Then take it to increasingly steep hills and notice it gets harder to do as you start becoming more concerned about the trail than what you are practicing.
- You will find that without a lot of deliberate practice the second you relax and stop thinking about this you will bend from the belly! It takes work.
Go work on this crucial body position piece and have fun.
Please feel free to post any questions are comments and share this with anyone you think could benefit from it.

Grant of Qualified Immunity Reversed in § 1983 Claim of Excessive Force and Denial of Medical Care
The First Circuit reversed a grant of summary judgment on a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim of excessive force, supervisory liability, and denial of medical care in violation of defendant's Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment rights.
On April 10, 2007, Officers William Pérez Ortiz and Orlando Rivera Lugardo observed Christopher Rojas Miranda driving his vehicle at a high speed, running stoplights, and swerving. After a brief chase, the officers stopped Rojas and asked him to exit and place his hands on his vehicle. Rojas began to scream uncontrollably that someone was following him and intended to kill him.
When Officer Pérez proceeded to place Rojas under arrest, Rojas then turned around and knocked Officer Rivera's portable radio out of his hands. A brief scuffle ensued between Rojas and the officers, causing all three to fall to the ground. After being secured, Rojas sat quietly for some time until he again burst into shouting.
The officers placed Rojas in the patrol car, albeit with some difficulty as Rojas continued to scream and spread his legs in an attempt to avoid being forced into the car. The officers and a bystander noted Rojas's appearance as sweaty and pale with a purplish tint to his forehead, temples, and cheeks. When Sergeant Miguel Rodríguez Crespi appeared, he recommended the officers take Rojas to the hospital. However, the officers contended Rojas was better off at the police station given his potential to harm others.
The desk officer at the station did not observe any injuries or bruises on Rojas's body. However, she noticed that his face and lips were purple. When being placed in the cell, Rojas continued to scream and once again spread his legs to avoid being forced in. Once secured, Officer Pérez noted that Rojas stopped speaking. Though attempts to bring in paramedics were made, Rojas did not exhibit any vital signs by the time they arrived.
The paramedics found Rojas with blood dripping from his mouth as well as lacerations, contusions and abrasions throughout his body, face, chin, shoulders wrists, and legs. Rojas also had a subarachnoid hemorrhage in his brain. The autopsy report listed Rojas's cause of death as bodily trauma and cocaine intoxication.
Rojas's family and estate brought suit under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, alleging that the arresting officers violated his Fourth Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment right against excessive use of force and right to urgent medical care. The district court granted the officers summary judgment based on insufficient evidence and qualified immunity. The family and estate then challenged the district court's decisions on excessive force and denial of medical care.
The Court of Appeals for the First Circuit reviewed the district court's grant of summary judgment de novo. It noted that summary judgment is properly granted if the officers can demonstrate there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the officers are entitled to judgment as a matter of law. A "genuine" dispute exists if a jury could reasonably interpret the evidence in the Rojas's estate's favor.
The court of appeals reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment on the excessive force claim against Officer Pérez. Under the facts, the court utilized the objectively reasonable standard of the Fourth Amendment to determine whether any action taken by the officers could be considered excessive force. While the undisputed description of Rojas's behavior warranted some level of force to compel him to get into the patrol car and holding cell, there existed enough evidence of excessive force that a reasonable inference could be made in the estate's favor. Among that evidence included photos of Rojas's body, the autopsy report of Rojas's injuries, and expert opinion. The court found it worth comment that no injuries were reported on Rojas's face at the arrest site, but multiple abrasions, contusions, and lacerations all over his body and face were found at the time the paramedics arrived. Further, because a genuine issue of material fact existed as to the use of excessive force, the court of appeals extended its rationale in this regard as to whether Sergeant Rodríguez could have intervened.
The court of appeals also reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment on the denial of medical care claims. As stated by the court, Fourteenth Amendment substantive due process requires the government to provide medical care to persons being apprehended by the police, and this duty extends "at least as far as the protection that the Eighth Amendment gives to a convicted prisoner." Government officials violate the Eighth Amendment if they display a "deliberate indifference" to a prisoner's "serious medical needs." This requires the officer to draw an inference that a substantial risk of serious harm exists. Based on Rojas's appearance and Sergeant Rodríguez's suggestion that the officers take him to a medical facility, a reasonable inference existed that Rojas needed medical attention and that the officers were aware of this risk.
Despite contentions that the officers be granted qualified immunity on both the excessive force and denial of medical care claims, the court of appeals disagreed. A qualified immunity determination is made by looking at whether a violation of a constitutional right occurred and whether the right at issue was clearly established at the time of the officer's misconduct. Because there existed sufficient evidence to make out an excessive force claim and denial of medical care claim, there was enough evidence to demonstrate the violation of a clearly established right. Likewise, the court of appeals found that a reasonable officer would know that using more force than necessary and denying medical care violated clearly established constitutional rules.
Thus, the court of appeals reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment on the family and estate's excessive force, supervisory liability, and denial of medical care claims.
