Oversight board urges updated surveillance rules
Saturday - 8/24/2013, 7:10pm EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- An independent oversight board reviewing secret government surveillance programs warned the Obama administration that national security agencies' rules governing surveillance are outdated and need to be revised to reflect rapid advances in technology.
The chairman of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Board, David Medine, wrote to Attorney General Eric Holder and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, urging that rules governing collection and retention of data about U.S. citizens be updated to "appropriately capture both the evolution of technology and the roles and capabilities of the intelligence community since 9/11."
Medine said Friday that his letter, sent Thursday, was an attempt to prod national security officials into taking "a fresh look" at surveillance protocols. The National Security Agency and other departments have based their surveillance activities on a 1981 executive order that still governs much of the nation's intelligence collections.
Medine said that the NSA, which oversees most surveillance programs, has not updated its guidelines since 1993. The FBI updated its own guidelines in 2008, Medine said, while the National Counterterrorism Center revised its surveillance rules in 2012.
The government's ability to collect cell phone numbers and other telephone data under Section 215 of the USA Patriot Act law is also governed by Executive Order 12333, signed by President Ronald Reagan in 1981, Medine said. Reagan's order established the framework for the collection, retention and sharing of intelligence, and national security agencies are required to submit guidelines based on the order to the attorney general for approval.
Although the NSA's guidelines were last updated in 1993, Medine said, the agency's intelligence collection rules have not been subjected to the attorney general's approval since 1982 -- as part of a Justice review of Defense Department rules.
The fact that the government's massive telephone surveillance program is based on the 1981 order "makes it even more relevant that the guidelines be kept up to date," Medine said.
The NSA's public disclosure earlier this week of secret court rulings showing that some data has been inadvertently collected from Americans has raised concerns about the amount of time that such materials are retained in government inventories.
National security officials said earlier this week that they had initially kept such records as long as five years but whittled that retention down to two years after the chief judge of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court declared parts of the surveillance operation unconstitutional in 2012. The NSA altered its collection processes and the judge then allowed the operation to continue.
Medine said he and other members of the oversight board decided to write to Holder and Clapper after they learned that some government agencies had not updated their surveillance guidelines in three decades.
"In many cases, these guidelines don't take into account major changes in technology such as text messaging and the ability to share large computer databases almost instantaneously," Medine said Friday. "Without drawing conclusions, we're saying these guidelines need to be revisited."

bibliophilebrittany asks...
Do you remember the time that you came over to my house and sat downstairs playing the guitar and singing? Then we went outside and just talked.
I can't even describe how much I miss that.
That's one of my best memories from last semester... in fact, I'm pretty sure it is.
I know I say I miss you a lot, but I truly do.
I can't wait for you to come back up here at some point and visit. You can count on getting a hug from me. (:
Oh, and I really miss talking to you...
Well, I'll just stop babbling.
Triangle. (;
I miss it too, wolf.

text: It was decided to go forward with this material given the threats. Alien tissue and fluid samples analyzed by a W.C. Levengood and Amanda N. Nimke in 2009, see attachment 1. Aside: Papers by W.C. Levengood: http://www.iccra.org/levengood/allotherpub.htm Samples were shipped from a ranch in Phoenix Arizona where bizarre incidences had taken place over many weeks, months and years culminating in a number of entities getting stabbed, wounded or killed in the ranch house. "...wiped up the blood/Fluid and tissue of the Gray I nearly split in two parts with an exceptionally well sharpened Samurai sword. After hand to hand combat with these little parasites. We have plenty of evidence to prove it, gathered over many years." This gave plenty of fluid and tissue samples to work with. In summary Blood found? Levengood: It's pure hemoglobin like that found at the Cattle Mutilation sites with what appears to be segment rods in the blood, never seen anything like it. Skin? Looks like segmented grass except it's not grass Levengood said, see attachment 2. Details/data and analysis Numerous samples have been collected under correct forensic technique by several skilled investigators and were sent to independent labs of high regard. All came back with the same result that the proteins in the samples could not be identified as anything they had seen before either plant or animal or human. One lab did add that the samples sent to them did match the samples they had tested over the last 30 years of fluid specimens they had tested from various cattle mutilations across the South West US. They believed that there was a 100% compatibility that the two were from the same creature(s). Finally a smoking Gun that absolutely links cattle mutilations to alien life forms. One scientist was extremely elated by the discovery! The important significance of these fluid matches is that according to W.C. Levengood, the fact that they matched so well was proof that indeed they were both extraterrestrial as the samples match nothing from the animal or plant kingdoms on Earth. However, as said above, the samples match the samples from mutilated cattle sites, and that would in Levengood's words show a correlation between aliens, cattle mutilations, and the obvious hostile intent of the Gray Aliens. Robert Bigelow and his agency spent close to a month studying the ranch and the events here and my wife and I under went extensive interviewing, video taping, and analysis by ex FBI and CIA investigators. Everyone involved has had a consensus that the events here are real, accurate in nature, and have not been publicly released due to my desire to avoid a deluge of publicity which will neither further the investigation nor heighten the hard science approach to an unexplained phenomena that deserves the respect of remaining a discussion between professionals. Further details/data .C. Levengood 06-30-011: He said he is not going to write a report at this time, but he was very excited about the samples sent which contained tiny segmented fibers. These were not cloth. This is what was in the photomicrographs he sent. Levengood explained blood as we know it does not contain segmented fibers. This made the sample highly unusual. He also explained normal antibodies that are positive or negative determine the type of blood which is something totally different. It is very peculiar because "the cell parts look like joint grass, but are not grass." He has not written a report as stated above, but he did mail the photomicrographs, which are photographs taken through a microscope, attachment 2. Levengood said the material did not look like human skin. "It was weird," he said. When asked why he didn't send the tissue out for DNA testing, he said there wasn't enough material and it was very expensive and to do so. Levengood can be reached below. If he denies any involvement then there are two digital recordings of phone conversations that speak loudly of his involvement. W.C. Levengood 4853 Wolf Lake Rd PO Box 388 Grass Lake Michigan 49240 Papers by W.C.

I'm sorry Anna..
Ah, sorry last link was broken here's a new one! Enjoy!! Still raw though xD
No no no no no no.
According to the official website, the movie of TV Anime Anohana (Ano Hi Mita Hana no Namae o Boku-tachi wa Mada Shiranai, あの日見た花の名前を僕達はまだ知らない。) was announced and will be premiered in 2013. Directed by Tatsuyuki Nagai (長井 龍雪) who's also the director of Ano Natsu de Matteru (あの夏で待ってる) and Toradora! (とらドラ!) , the series received lots of attentions. It was quite a surprise to see the movie announcement for the series since the main story was ended last Spring (of course, with a little inspiration of a second season or movie, as usual) and wonder what the director will bring to us. And of course, fans will be hugely disappointed if the movie turned out to be something like a roundup of the TV Anime and guess the company knows this too. However, as you can tell from the following illustration on the official website, the movie appears to retell the story from Menma's perspective. So far no other information was revealed and we will keep you posted about the story.
You must remain you…

The rookie gets to get onto the football field for his second career game and will have to deal with that Chip Kelly offense. It should be fun to see how the rookie deals with all the different looks at the quick moving offense.
Eagles Player to Watch: Desean Jackson
Jackson impressed in the first preseason game and gets to go onto the football field again and show that he can get back to his explosive ways.
Matchup to Watch: Michael Vick vs Nick Foles
The biggest matchup to watch is within one team. Michael Vick and Nick Foles are battling for a job and both will have to bring it on the field. Vick may have the upper hand, but Foles can make some things happen and turn some heads.
These games go to teams that get some good performances from the players in a position battle. The Eagles have a battle at quarterback and both players need to step up and do well.
Panthers 17, Eagles 24
