Hip-Hop Trends We Want To See More Of

Hip-Hop Trends We Want To See More Of
Hip-hop is an ever-evolving art form, and as such, there are always emerging trends. Whether it's a new sound, new technology, or even new slang, hip-hop is always giving fans something new to talk about. Some trends, like the reemergence of the supergroup, are welcome additions to hip-hop's creative space. Others, like the incredibly beat-to-death motto "YOLO," need to be left in 2013 (or even 2012, some might argue). The following is a list of trends we hope last, rather than become fads.
Moving Away From Regional Sound
It's getting harder and harder these days to tell where a hip-hop artist is from…and that's a great thing. Sure, there's nothing wrong with championing where you're from and displaying your influences, but in recent years, hip-hop has finally been able to let go of its constrictions that relegate an artist to his or her region. Anyone not intimately familiar with a Childish Gambino or an A$AP Rocky would be hard-pressed to accurately guess where they grew up.
The Reemergence of the Hip-Hop Supergroup
The supergroup is officially back. In the '90s, you had The Wu-Tang Clan, D.I.T.C., Def Squad, and a slew of other supergroups running the game. Now, A$AP Mob and Top Dawg Entertainment have brought that dynamic back. Though A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar's crews have been around for some time, it was in 2013 when they established their dominance. A$AP Rocky's debut album Long. Live. A$AP was excellent as expected, but it was A$AP Ferg's Trap Lord that confirmed the group had more than one star. And while TDE didn't release an official album in 2013, ScHoolboy Q did manage to get everyone excited about his Oxymoron album, and the label signed exciting new acts Isaiah Rashad and SZA.
Genre-Bending Acts
More than ever before, hip-hop artists are testing out uncharted sonic territory. An artist like Kid Cudi, who meshes rap, rock, R&B and other styles is not nearly as unusual as he was just two or three years ago. Detroit's Danny Brown, a highly skilled rapper in his own right, can seamlessly integrate EDM into his repertoire and still find himself respected amongst his rapping brethren. This unprecedented exploration and acceptance of other genres allows hip-hop artists to be more creative than ever before.
Fully-Streamed Projects
Everyone likes a good return policy. You don't like it? No sweat, just send it on back. In 2013, more than ever before, hip-hop music implemented its version of the return policy: they fully-streamed album. Ending up on Soundcloud, NPR, or any other of a number of sites, artists and music labels finally understood that the quality of the music should speak for itself. If the project is good, people will buy. If it's not…well, that's Darwinism, isn't it? A slew of artists allowed fans to preview their releases in 2013, ranging from Big K.R.I.T. and B.o.B to Yelawolf and Action Bronson.
The Return of Competitive Hip-Hop
This one can be firmly be attributed to a single artist: Kendrick Lamar. K Dot decided he'd drop a verse on Big Sean's "Control (HOF)" basically calling out almost every relevant new(ish) rapper in the game. After calling out J. Cole, Big K.R.I.T., Wale, Pusha T, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, Drake, Jay Electronica, Mac Miller, and Big Sean, Kendrick brought mainstream hip-hop back to its battling roots. Not only was the track the talk of music everywhere, but it set off a chain reaction of countless responses. Hip-hop, you're on notice: Kendrick's got his eyes on the throne.

WASHINGTON – Complaints to the Defense Department's inspector general hotline have climbed by 125 percent over the past four years, a senior official in the office said, and the cases include everything from abuse in the workplace to the multi-million-dollar contracting investigation now underway within the upper reaches of the Navy.
"We are marketing and branding and making ourselves more accessible, and the trend is we're getting a lot more complaints nowadays than we were a few years ago," DOD Hotline Director Patrick Gookin told reporters at a Pentagon briefing today, called to highlight the hotline's efficiency and not to discuss specific cases.
Some 31,000 contacts were made to the hotline in fiscal year 2013, a sharp increase from the preceding years. "We referred last year 4,862 cases," Gookin said.
Prominent investigations that have made national headlines over the past few years began from someone contacting the DOD hotline, which takes in all complaints and refers them to the appropriate agency or department for inquiry, he said.
In addition to the ongoing Navy contracting case, they include the 2010 investigation into mismanagement at Arlington National Cemetery, sexual abuse at Lackland Air Force Base, Texas, as well as the 2011 probe into improper handling of remains of the nation's war dead at Dover Air Force Base, Del.
The purpose of the hotline is to provide a confidential and reliable means to report critical issues affecting DOD property, programs and operations, with special emphasis on matters affecting life, safety and readiness. The identities of those reporting alleged wrongdoing is protected unless there is a compelling reason not to protect that information, Gookin said. Email is no longer used; most complaints are made online. Any complaints made by phone are not recorded. The inspector general's office can release results of an investigation only through a request made under the Freedom of Information Act.
"All intel matters are priority one," Gookin said in response to a question about how his office would have dealt with former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden if, instead of leaking classified documents to the media, he had brought his complaint about alleged abuses at the agency to the inspector general's office.
"He had every opportunity to go through us rather than what he did," Gookin said, adding that "those complaints would have been the highest priority we could have ever had in our hotline that I could think of."

Dodgers Ticket Info
With brand new ownership, led by basketball legend Magic Johnson, the Dodgers were certainly not shy about spending money. The Dodgers acquired veterans Hanley Ramirez, Adrian Gonzalez, and Carl Crawford all at the trade deadline in '12. Their roster looks to be among the league's best as the team shifts its focus to the start of 2015. Led by sluggers Matt Kemp and Yasiel Puig the Dodgers will likely be the favorite to win the NL West. Make sure you are there to see it with LA Dodgers baseball tickets.
The National League West is not the strongest division in baseball, so it would not take much improvement for the Dodgers to win the division crown. And when you consider that the Los Angeles Dodgers roster already includes '11 National League Cy Young Award winner Clayton Kershaw and '11 National League MVP runner-up Matt Kemp, they already have two of the best players in all of Major League Baseball and several that are likely to be in the MLB All-Star Game. It's worth the price of admission just to see Kemp and Kershaw play, so order your Los Angeles Dodgers tickets now.
The Los Angeles Dodgers schedule will mark the 50th anniversary of the team playing at Dodgers Stadium, which has held up against Father Time better than perhaps any other venue in baseball. You can still feel the history and tradition at the stadium, but Chavez Ravine has also undergone several renovations over the years to keep up with the times. So make plans to take in at least a few games this season, and make sure to buy your Los Angeles Dodgers baseball tickets from GoTickets.
Gotickets.com has got you covered with tickets to every MLB game this year as well as 2015 World Series and MLB All Star Game tickets.

Tanjung Puting: Tanjung Harapan
Posted on : 1 August 2012
Categories : Travelings
We were all so excited upon seeing the sign on the river! We are about to enter Tanjung Puting Area! (meaning: no cell phone signal! But it's something that we groaned and moaned later on. Yeah. Technology. Can't live without 'em!) Our first stop: Tanjung Harapan!
My first thought upon entering this area: my, my, the soil around this place is sandy and whitish. There are also some plants with medicinal properties planted here. We visited information center and read tidbits about this area. Then we enjoyed a short trek (about 1 kilometer) to the feeding site of orangutans.
The first orangutan that I saw in this area! A she, unfortunately I forgot her name. (Yes, the orangutans have names! The researchers and rangers and some guides can tell them apart. Me? Apart from the dominant male, they look too similar.) She was munching so many bananas and pushing more and more into her mouth. I thought she was greedy. But actually she was afraid that the dominant male, the king of the area, would come and naturally demand his hefty share. So she was being smart. She couldn't bring the bananas using her hands or legs, since she would use them to climb trees. Her mouth was a logical choice.
Since the king was nowhere in sight, more females and young males braved themselves to eat the bananas. Most males were bringing their young ones with them, clinging while they were approaching the ground, but when they were up in the trees, some youngsters climbed around happily (though they still didn't dare to go too far from their moms). Some orangutans even ate together, peacefully. Maybe this was like some kind or arisan or gathering of the mothers!
Here you can see a female orangutan with her child, up in the trees. They are agile climbers. They are also strong! It is said that a female orangutan is as strong as four grown men. A male orangutan is about as strong as eight grown men. The king of orangutan (orangutans have kings. One king rules a relatively small area.) is of course much stronger than that. One ranger told me that it took about 20-ish men to subdue a king of orangutan when he needed treatment for his wounds.
And suddenly... out of the blue, the king of orangutan in Tanjung Harapan area, Yani, appeared. HUGE, was my first thought. DANGEROUS, was my second. FULL OF LICE, MAYBE? was my third, since he kept scratching and scratching during his visit to the feeding site. All young males ran away and females with babies scurried away too, fearing that the king might try to mate with them. (When the female orangutans are still carrying their children, it means they aren't ready yet to have intercourse and bear children, but sometimes a king is being a king, so... well, I don't really need to elaborate, right?)
We were so lucky, the guides told us, since the kings of orangutans were not always seen by visitors. The feeding site is filled daily, but this is not a staple diet for them. Sometimes aside of bananas, they will give orangutans milk. When the trees are yielding fruit, however, only few orangutans can be spotted since they prefer to eat elsewhere.
Bear these in mind when observing orangutans in the wild:
- DO NOT LITTER. Bring your own garbage with you.
- DO NOT EAT OR DRINK IN FRONT OF THEM. They might be tempted to grab them from you and this might cause health problems for them.
- DO NOT FEED THE ORANGUTANS! They are not pets, here they are expected to be self-sufficient and to be able to survive in the wilderness.
- KEEP YOUR DISTANCE. At least 5 meters away.
- IF YOU ARE SICK, STAY AWAY FROM THEM. They might be infected!
During our trek to our kelotok boat, one guide showed me a small tree called ramunting (?). He said orangutans loved to eat it. Edible for humans too, since the guide has tried it many times. He picked one for me and I tasted it. It's like guava, albeit a bit bitter.
I saw Muslim cemeteries on the trek to our boat, and the guide explained that originally the site was inhabited by Melayu people. They were given lands elsewhere some time in the 1970s, so that Tanjung Harapan could be a haven for the orangutans. (to be continued)

We hope you ate lunch, because you're about to get really hungry. Starving. Stomach growling. Nom, nom, nom. This morning, we're all about calories, thanks to the white-hot new nourishment site The Food Life. A collaboration between publicist Michael King and M.A.C.'s Lauren Levinger, this "online destination for the food curious," brings, well, foodie culture to the masses.

Subtle yet expressive, scale-defying without being showy, one-of-a kind - these are all things that have been used to describe Daley's impressive voice and music. Daley's delicate vocal was first showcased on his self-released mixtape, 'Those Who Wait,' a release that has had over 150,000 downloads and was critically acclaimed by The Guardian, The Sunday Times and the NME. His collaboration, 'Alone Together' with the Grammy Award winning Marsha Ambrosius, saw Universal Republic sign Daley on the spot to a US deal and the record subsequently went on to become a top 5 hit on the US Urban AC chart. Pharrell is another fan; the NERD frontman heard about Daley on a Friday and requested his presence in the studio the following Monday. Damon Albarn enlisted Daley for the Gorillaz 'Plastic Beach' album, and Daley now features on Nelly's brand new US single 'Heaven'. With a growing legion of fans, famous and otherwise, Daley releases his new single 'Broken' on September 29th, featuring production from Bernard Butler of Suede and now racing up the Radio 1 playlist, it will be followed by his incredible debut album that looks set for commercial success when released at the beginning of next year.

STATEHOUSE (Feb. 8, 2013) – Legislation authored by State Sens. Jim Merritt (R-Indianapolis) and Allen Paul (R-Richmond) to protect and preserve Indiana's battle flags passed the full Senate on Thursday by a 49-0 vote.
Merritt said, with more than 400 flags, Indiana has one of the largest collections of state battle flags in the country. They are currently housed in the Indiana War Memorial in Indianapolis. Senate Bill 323 allows a fund previously created to preserve only Civil War battle flags to also be used to preserve other Indiana battle flags.
"By appropriately caring for these flags and bringing them to the public, generations of Hoosiers will be able to experience these integral pieces of Indiana history from the War with Mexico, Civil War, Spanish-American War, World War I and more," Merritt said. "Right now, the flags are kept in basement vaults, protected, but completely restricted from citizens."
Paul added that Indiana is, however, very fortunate to have a particularly large collection of Civil War battle flags. These were carried by Hoosier soldiers and intricately woven for individual Indiana regiments. Originally used in the war as position markers and rallying points, they became sources of inspiration for soldiers.
"Restoring these battle flags is a nod to veterans of years past," Paul said. "Very few states in our nation have the opportunity to do this because they don't know where their Civil War battle flags are or if there are even any left. This is a simple way to honor the more than 24,000 Hoosiers who gave their lives in the war to preserve the Union."
Retired Brig. Gen. J. Stewart Goodwin, Executive Director of the Indiana War Memorials, supports SB 323 and the effort to save this part of Indiana's historical heritage. His ultimate goal is to make these Indiana battle flags available to every county courthouse in the state.
"This is history, and nothing is more important than preserving it," Goodwin said. "One hundred years from now, these flags might be the only material pieces Hoosier families will have to remember the stories they've heard about our country's heritage and Indiana's part in that. You can't rebuild history once it's gone."
SB 323 will now move to the House of Representatives for further consideration.


text: DE Brandon Jenkins FSU. I have seen as low as a 7th round grade on him.. I think if he is there at #111 we have to take him. He is the most advanced pass rusher who actually has more than 1 move unlike anyone else in this draft. I'm not saying he should start hopefully we sign Abraham.. but he would be good depth

I'm looking at 4 mock drafts and only one of them has us taking a WR(from CAL) while the others have us taking a OT to replace Jake Long. Your thoughts?
I'm looking at 4 mock drafts and only one of them has us taking a WR(from CAL) while the others have us taking a OT to replace Jake Long. Your thoughts?
thinking back to last years mock drafts this time last year alot had the fins drafting Riley Rieff with the 1st round pick -- one of the many DE - ect ..
not until philbin was hired with Sherman did they start projecting Tannehill in Miami -- so you just never no
If we draft a tackle..... hell will be raised.
Nope! We can double up in the second with WR and this draft is full of them in the first 3 rounds! Draft a pass rusher or someone to help our secondary.
This upcoming draft is stock piled with defensive talent. With Miami likely drafting in the top 15, I would love to see a safety/corner. Dee Milliner from Alabama would be a great pick to shore up or soft CB spot, also would like to see Luke Joeckel from A&M as our new LT. He will come cheaper than Jake and he has a very high grades from draft insiders. Granted, WR is a huge need, but this can be addressed in free agency with the likes of Bowe/Wallace/Jennings. And cap cuts will be plentiful as well. I am sure we can nab a WR there as well as the second round in the draft. Lately, WR are drafted heavier towards the back of the first and into the second round
i think you go CB/WR, whatever position has the better talent you take. We need to get rid of sean smith, he is one of the slowest cbs i have ever seen and plays lazy almost every game. CB/WR/WR/RT/LB
NO WR FROM THE DRAFT!! pick up an elite veteran like dwayne bowe or someone thats elite. look at justin blackmon for example. he just had 1 good game but overall he's a bust
Well the good thing about having a bad GM is you have a plethora of needs, the bad thing is it will most likely be the same GM filling them
The above post is not subject to penalty under the TOS I declare the Hayden Fox defense. " It is impossible for the staff to know my context therefore I cannot be penalized"

Aston Villa Youth Squad visit Birmingham Royal Ballet
In early 2012, Aston Villa's next generation of stars paid a visit to Birmingham Royal Ballet to learn about how our dancers train and perform and the comparisons that can be made with professional footballers.
During their action-packed day, members of the under-15s squad experienced a body conditioning class, a ballet technique master-class and creative dance workshop led by Company dancer, Kit Holder and a presentation from Nick Allen from Birmingham Royal Ballet's Jerwood Centre for the Prevention and Treatment of Dance Injuries.
The day came about as a result of the ongoing partnership between Birmingham Royal Ballet and AVFC. The under-17s trained with Birmingham Royal Ballet last year and Steve Burns, Villas assistant academy manager, said it had already paid dividends, with three of the squad featuring in the England Under-17s team.
The academy have also been learning about our talent identification programme, Dance Track, and plan to develop their own scheme in future.
'It gave them a different perspective of professional athletes, right down to their movements and diet.' Steve Burns, Assistant Academy Manager

You Call It "Torture"; We Call It "Coming Into Possession of Classified Information"
Marty Lederman
Why can't Majid Khan have a lawyer, according to the Department of Justice? Because he might tell the lawyer how he was treated by the U.S. government. Think about that for a second.
I don't have a direct answer to your question, but, myself, I cannot escape the notion that the difficulties in looking at these issues have been compounded by Bush Administration, in the sense that the legal part of our Nation's Counterterror strategy has been a victim of a long string of failed gambits. Had the Administration tried to work openly with Congress on a lot of these matters, rather than continually assert the rights of Executive Authority, we might not be in the state we are in, now, after this brinksman approach.
One problem that we might all have avoided is a tension between thinking about what might make good law in association with sound counterterror strategy and choosing how to think about what the Bush Administration did during the period before the detainee detention act was pass.
In other words, we cannot have a dispassionate and probative discussion about how to handle these issues because we have to deal with the follow (as reported by Suskind at Time magazine):
"The problem is not really with classified information. Most of what these captives told us is already common knowledge or dated; the U.S. hasn't caught any truly significant players in two years. However, discovery in such a case would show that the President and Vice President were involved in overseeing their interrogations, according to senior intelligence officials. *Subpoenas on how evidence was obtained and who authorized what practices would go right into the West Wing.*"
Meanwhile, have you seen that FOX "News" had one of their reporters undergo waterboarding, in order to start desensitizing the American public to such practices?
This is on the same week that O'Reilly made a whole segment out of denouncing the violence in our society and those who propagate it, in the form of "slaher" movies (like "Saw III" or whatever) that show seens of torture. His own "news" channel, within the week, shows their reporting undergoing waterboarding and, himself, calling it "torture". It truly is Orwellian.
I suppose it is worthwhile to have a scholar like Marty Lederman show the absurdity of the administration's position. To do so, however, is to treat the administration's position seriously, as if it were put forward in good faith. One wouldn't have argued with Hitler that the extermination of the Jews was wrong. The court ought to impose Rule 11 sanctions on the government and its lawyers just for making the argument.
I just want to go on record as having already invoked Humpty Dumpty in this context. B^) Always a pleasure to see your posts, Prof. (But, Henry, you make a compelling argument.) Peace.
"Am I Missing Something" you ask.
Just the fact that we are at war, and you keep talking about non-war ordinary civil and criminal matters not applicable to war.
Says the "Dog"
Amicus, I couldn't find the FOX video of waterboarding, but I did find a demonstration on CurrentTV.
Professor Lederman:
Do you have a link to the government response brief to which this Exhibit 1 Declaration was attached?
As to your question:
Why can't Majid Khan have a lawyer, according to the Department of Justice?
Does the Justice brief claim that Khan cannot have any lawyer or cannot have the self appointed lawyers from CCR who filed this Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus? From the Declaration alone, it appears Justice is simply arguing that the identities of allies, locations of Khan's detention and methods of interrogations are all classified Top Secret and that the CCR lawyers will not qualify for this classification. There is nothing unusual, nevertheless Orwellian, about such an argument.
The fact that the Government risks disclosure of this top secret information if Kahn is released at some future time is completely irrelevant to the argument that CCR attorneys should have access to Khan and this information while Khan is under detention.
The more interesting question is how a court will find jurisdiction to even hear this petition after Congress reversed Rasul stripped habeas jurisdiction over alien enemy combatants in enacting the MCA. Does Justice raise this issue in their brief?
"Am I Missing Something" you ask.
Just the fact that we are at war, and you keep talking about non-war ordinary civil and criminal matters not applicable to war.
That we are at war is hardly clear. AG Gonzales says no. I've been asking my congresscritters that; they don't know, only that we are in something that "feels like a war".
Where the "war" looks more like an attack by the Bushies on the rest of us, yeah, "ordinary civil and criminal matters are not applicable".
That is a powerful WP article -- the press, limitations notwithstanding, has served a valuable purpose the last few years.
Morning Edition, October 16, 2006 · Steve Inskeep talks to Bill Goodman, legal director at the Center for Constitutional Rights, about what happens after President Bush signs the Military Commissions Act of 2006.
Goodman plans to argue that despite Congress' clear intent written in the statute, that the MSA is not retroactive in effect and will not effect the petition CCR filed just before the law went into effect.
Linking to the same Washington Post story, Crispin Sartwell, at his eyeofthestormblogs.com, writes: "this, we may speculate, is the reason that many prisoners of the u.s. will never be released: nothing they did before, but the secrets they learned in prison, the details of their own torture, present a security risk. we will not only torment you, we will detain/disappear you for having been tormented by us."
It's currently a "Top video" at the Fox "News" website. The "reporter" was Steve Harrigan.
If there is some highly effective interrogation fandango that ought to be kept out of the al-qa'ida training manuals, then perhaps there is a case to be made to keep it out of open court / out of view. The question for experts is how much is the premise true. Frankly, there is a lot of information freely available about interrogation techniques and good techniques do their work whether you know them in advance or not, arguably, so it would pay to hear more from those who 'do it for a living', before making a decision.
It cannot be reasonable that a single government entity (the Executive, the Sec Def) be responsible both for drawing up the rules and seeing to it that they are adhered to. Everything we know suggests that wishful thinking of this kind almost invariably results in abuse and disgrace of some kind.
Either a person has a right to challenge whether the rules were followed (perhaps not in open court?) or someone else, independent, has the charge to see to it that their complaints are adequately addressed, in a way that keeps "the system" from being turned into a circus. I can't think of too many other options, except maybe a system whose rules are so simple (a standard set so high?) that violation is almost self-evident. Whatever the case, maybe the hardest part is fashioning what the redress might be, if detention is found to violate the established rules.
As for what happened under Bush before "the clarity" of the Detainee Bill, we all have to ultimately decide
1. To pardon Bush/Cheney (hence the campaign to make it all seem not-so-bad, to forestall the public support needed to prosecute the issue politically, or to push the false tradeoff that they must be let go so that others can be locked up)
2. To hold them to account
a) as part of a more consistent/comprehensive re-write (the legal aspects of the current MCA law might be adjudicated before that can politically be done, however, it would seem); or
b) as an exception to what is written
It is, as Professor Lederman says, Leis Carrollian. The government's argument is nonsensical because if the information were truly classified 1) the government de-classified it when it "disclosed" it to Mr. Khan by arresting him, imprisoning him and torturing him and 2) if the government did not de-classify it then the government employees who disclosed that information to Mr. Khan are themselves in violation of, inter alia, The Espionage Act. (I do not imagine that Mr. Khan was given a security clearance and agreed to be bound by the non-disclosure provisions of The Espionage Act.)
I do not think that First Amendment freedom of speech is the strongest argument. This seems to me to be a fundamental Due Process, and Fifth and Sixth Amendment issue.
There seems to be some misunderstanding. Lawyers for Gitmo prisoners have security clearances. They can't go to the prison without them.
Second, there is a scheme already in place to protect classified information. Everything a prisoner tells the lawyer is presumed classified, and may only be disclosed to the public after review and approval by the government.
Third, no lawyer may file any papers in these cases that have not already been reviewed by the government. All filings that include information from a prisoner have to be written at the secure facility (at which all attorney notes are stored, unless and until they are declassified).
* * * *
On waterboarding, plenty of people have noted the dissonance between the contention that we have to waterboard these hardened, well trained terrorists to get them to reveal the information and the contention that it's no big deal at all, as tortures go.
Again, you can see Robert's point about the lack of protection in the MCA when you loook at the DoJ brief:
Khan is currently detained at Guantanamo and is awaiting a Combatant Status Review
Tribunal ("CSRT"), a DoD proceeding in which a Guantanamo detainee's status as an enemy combatant is reviewed and determined. During CSRT proceedings, a detainee is provided with notice of the unclassified factual basis for his classification as an enemy combatant, he is allowed
to present reasonably available evidence on his own behalf, and the tribunal members then make an independent determination as to whether the detainee should be designated as an enemy combatant.
So much for having counsel from the get go or having your wife send you your birth certificate. :) All this time, and we haven't even designated this guy, referred to in the CIA officer's declaration as an alien terrorist leader, as an enemy combatant.
So, the steps to eternal incarceration without any court proceedings are:
1. Make sure that detainees are captured and held in a Top Secret/SCI program, thereby classifying the factual basis for his future designation as a combatant, and removing the ability of independent counsel to have access to such evidence in order to appeal the decision of the "CSRT."
2. Hold them without determining their status in a "CSRT" for an indefinite period while legislation is made more specific and retroactive.
3. Use that legislation to specifically deny the detainees the ability to obtain any hearings in district courts unless they pertain to constitutional or procedural problems with the status review process.
4. Never initiate the status review process.
If Khan did not have a valid security clearance, which we all know he did not, and he "may have come into possession of information ... that is classified..." then numerous crimes have been committed by those who allowed this "unauthorized disclosure" to occur.
But even more fundamental to the debate which the DoJ [and Ms. Dorn] conveniently overlook, is the concept of "waiver" by the interrogators, et al. By applying such "techniques" and imposing "conditions of detention" to a person without a security clearance or an operational "need to know," the government has waived any right to claim anything.
There is no "national security" privilege [otherwise CIPA would be basically irrelevant], yet that is the effect of the government's argument and Ms. Dorn's affirmation. The government gambled and lost, in Rasul and Hamdi, that SCOTUS was not going to recognize a right to counsel in the GTMO / "enemy combatant" cases, and proceeded accordingly. Now, they are using a totally bogus argument about "classification" to back door and cover-up their BS.
Did Kahn sign the standard government "Non-Disclosure Agreement?" If so, was it signed under duress? If not, there's no legal basis to preclude him from talking to anyone, which of course is their real goal - indefinite detention, incommunicado.
The real point here which Marty identifies, and which has plagued the GTMO habeas cases since the attorneys agreed to an over-reaching and overbroad "protective order," is simply this: (a) was the material at issue subject to lawful classification; and (b) was it properly and lawfully classified?
The "grave consequences" mentioned in para 13 of the Dorn Affirmation is a conclusory allegation, for which prosecution of the torturers is the only conceivable consequence. The "legal techniques" of interrogation have been public sourced for years and thus, beyond "classification" procedures.
Her Affirmation also assumes that her determination that the classification LEVEL of TS/SCI is correct - just because she has "original classification authority" [OCA] does not mean [and she never actually says] that it was properly classified in the first place, or properly classified at the TS/SCI level.
Thus, preliminarily, there's an administrative "exhaustion" issue - Khan has to make a "classification challenge" on both the nature of the material/information that they MIGHT allege is classified and to ascertain if the OCA [and she notably also never says that she was the OCA in this case!] classified the information at the proper level. But again, all of this ignores the concept of "waiver" in these cases.
Look at the Padilla case pending in Florida - his attorneys recently filed a Motion to Dismiss based specifically on the torture that was inflicted upon him and described it in excruciating detail. How is that any different, other than the fact that here, everything was done (purportedly) by the CIA instead of the DoD?
Henry makes a point that I tried to get some of the habeas counsel to make when the subject of the original Protective Order came up - it's such utter, legal BS, without any FACTUAL basis [look at the Dorn Affirmation carefully, she never actually ties Khan into anything and ultimately only says, he "may have come into possession. . ." That's Rule 11, material in the context of what the government is arguing - either he has possession of "classified" or he does not. If they don't know, that's THEIR problem and probably why OBL is still running around loose.
It's not just Orwell and Lewis Carroll. It's positively Biblical:
1 Samuel 27:9: And David smote the land, and left neither man nor woman alive....
1 Samuel 27:11: And David saved neither man nor woman alive, to bring tidings to Gath, saying, Lest they should tell on us, saying, So did David, and so will be his manner all the while he dwelleth in the country of the Philistines.
"Lest they should tell on us...."

Men's Tennis improves to 6-1 in conference play with victory over Wofford
Monday, April 07, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (April 7, 2003) - After losing its first Southern Conference match of the season, the East Tennessee State men's tennis team has won six straight after defeating Wofford 6-1 Monday afternoon at the ETSU Tennis Center. With the win, the Buccaneers overall record now stands at 12-6, while they improve to 6-1 in the SoCon. At No. 1 singles, senior captain Marcos Pavlovich (Otamendi, Argentina) was the victor of a 6-3, 6-3 decision over Kent Ball, while Alejandro Salazar (Arequipa, Peru) garnered his sixth consecutive win with his victory over Lee Porter in the No. 2 slot also in straight sets, 6-3, 6-1. Wofford's Brandon Smith saved the Terriers from being swept by knocking off junior Diego Iglesias (Mar del Plata, Argentina) at No. 3 singles. Iglesias dropped the tough three-set dual to Smith, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. Fernando Fiuri (Villa Maria, Argentina) remained undefeated (7-0) in the Southern Conference by defeating Wofford's Brett Johnson 6-3, 6-2 at No. 4 singles. Moises Serrano (Bucaramanga, Colombia) took care of Chris Barlow 7-6, 6-2 in the fifth position and Federico Ochoa (Manizales, Colombia) captured a 7-5, 6-3 win at No. 6 over the Terriers' Jason Mengel. ETSU swept the doubles matches, but were tested at the No. 1 position as Pavlovich and Salazar barely escaped with a 9-8 victory against Ball and Porter. Iglesias and Serrano snapped out of a two-match slump with their 8-4 decision over Mengel/Smith, and the duo of Ochoa/Fiuri handed Wofford's Barlow/Johnson an 8-3 loss to complete the trifecta. The Buccaneers will continue to run the gauntlet of conference competition this Wednesday, April 9, when ETSU faces Appalachian State at the ETSU Tennis Center. The match is scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. East Tennessee State 6, Wofford 1 Singles 1.) Marcos Pavlovich (ETSU) def. Kent Ball (WOF), 6-3, 6-3 2.) Alejandro Salazar (ETSU) def.

20 years after a pandemic has radically changed known civilization, infected humans run wild and survivors are killing each other for food, weapons - whatever they can get their hands on. Joel, a violent survivor, is hired to smuggle a 14 year-old girl, Ellie, out of an oppressive military quarantine zone, but what starts as a small job soon transforms into a brutal journey across the U.S.
The Last of Us is a third-person Survival-Action game that utilizes choices in gameplay action to develop the game storyline, as well as the relationship between the two main characters, Joel and Ellie. The game features a combination of combat, exploration, stealth and platforming game mechanics. Although Joel and Ellie are both residents of a post-apocalyptic world, they have had different experiences that affect the way they see the world around them, and feel about what they see and do. Joel had a life before the pandemic, while the world of the pandemic is all that Ellie has ever known. As part of Joel's job to smuggle Ellie out of the quarantine zone, players have to make choices in how they deal with enemies, which include, roving gangs of human scavengers not unlike themselves, military elements and infected civilians. Player also have opportunity to together interact with elements of the world around them, which helps to build the bond between Joel and Ellie. Resources in the game are scarce, making overwhelming use of firepower unlikely and unwise in conflicts, and resource gathering missions. In addition, most other residents of the ruined world that are encountered are just trying to survive - blurring the line between good guys and bad guys. Finally, game AI react differently depending on the specifics of the player's actions, making choice in gameplay a major consideration.

Jackson VIBE Quad Boot Size Chart
Helpful sizing tips:
Remove the shoe from your right, (or longest), foot. Measure
with sock if you want space, no sock for a tighter fit. Place a blank
sheet of paper against the wall and stand on it with your heel against
the wall. Mark straight down from your longest toe on the paper. Measure
from the edge of the paper against the wall to the line marked on the
paper, (use cm/mm/in.) Use the sizing chart at left to match your
measurement with an accurate size.
Note: It is generally recommended
that high-performance skaters go for a more snug (tighter) fit. Remember
that leather boots will stretch and form to your foot over time,
microfiber boots will hold true to size. For example, if your
measurements are between a size 8 and 8.5, it would generally be
recommended you go down to the size 8 in leather and give it some time
to stretch for a better more secure fit in the long run. NOTE: Toes
should never be curled.
If you have any questions regarding sizing please don't hesitate to contact our customer service department at 415-752-8375

Read more here: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/sport...#storylink=cpy### If youre hoping the Dolphins have a wide selection of receiver and cornerback options in their likely first-round draft range, youll be disappointed.
With the playoffs highly unlikely, heres some early buzz on Aprils Draft, when Miami likely will pick between eighth and 20th:
### Mel Kiper Jr. rates only one receiver and one cornerback among the top 25 prospects on ESPN.com, including juniors who havent declared.
The receiver is Tennessees 6-3 Cordarrelle Patterson, who hasnt said if hes returning to school. Rated 11th overall by Kiper, he had 46 catches for 778 yards and has size, speed, body control, hands and go-get it ability and can physically overpower smaller corners, Kiper said. Has the ceiling of a very good No. 1.
The next-best receiver prospect might be his teammate, Tennessees Justin Hunter, or Californias Keenan Allen, both rated in the 20s by several analysts.
### Theres one other stretch-the-field option rated as a potential top 20 pick: Notre Dame 6-6 junior tight end Tyler Eifert, rated 17th by Kiper. Hes a converted receiver and has the pass catching skills of a natural receiver, Kiper said. Can be split out and stretch the seams.
### The only cornerback considered a top 20 pick is Alabama junior Dee Milliner, ranked 15th overall by Kiper. Not an elite cover corner like [Dallas Cowboys and former LSU standout] Morris Claiborne, but hes a really good player, Todd McShay said on ESPN.com.
### Among the other players Kiper has ranked between 5 and 25, five are offensive linemen (hard to justify taking one unless Miami doesnt keep Jake Long); four are 295-to-360 pound defensive tackles (not a Dolphins need); and three are defensive ends (could be a need, depending on what Miami does with Randy Starks and Jared Odrick).
There are also three linebackers (not a pressing need); one safety (Texas Kenny Vaccaro, rated 20th by Kiper); and two quarterbacks (Southern Californias Matt Barkley at 24, West Virginias Geno Smith at 25).
### If Miami parts way with Long, the best offensive tackle prospects are juniors: Texas A&Ms Luke Joeckel (ranked No. 5 by Kiper) and Michigans Taylor Lewan (No. 9).
Kipers other top-20 offensive line prospects are guards: Alabamas Chance Warmack (seventh) and North Carolinas Jonathan Cooper (12th). If Jeff Ireland drafted a guard in the first round, Dolphins fans would chase him with pitchforks.
### If Starks signs elsewhere, Miami could move Odrick to tackle and explore drafting an end such as LSUs Barkevious Mingo (ranked sixth by Kiper/four sacks) or his teammate, Sam Montgomery (19th/seven sacks) or FSU junior Bjoern Werner (ranked eighth by Kiper/13 sacks). Texas A&Ms Damontre Moore (ranked fourth by Kiper/12.5 sacks) could be off the board by Miamis pick.
McShay includes three other defensive ends among his top 21 prospects: FSUs Cornellius Carradine (13th/11 sacks), Oregons Deon Jordan (14th/five sacks) and Auburns Corey Lemonier (21st, 5.5 sacks).
"Werner looked dominant against UF, with 3.5 sacks, Kiper said. High ceiling. I worry about how Mingo disappears for stretches. Montgomery is more productive than Mingo but ceiling isnt as high.
### The three linebackers that Kiper rates between 5 and 20 are Georgia junior Alec Ogletree (10th), UCLA junior Anthony Barr (13th) and Rutgers Khaseem Greene (22nd). The Dolphins like their linebackers, but the 6-4 Barr (11.5 sacks) is intriguing a rising star and devastating pass rusher, Kiper said.
### FYI: Kipers top five overall picks are Georgia junior outside linebacker Jarvis Jones and Notre Dame linebacker Manti Teo, Utah defensive tackle Star Lotulelei and Texas A&M teammates Moore and Joeckel, both juniors.
This is based off of Kiper and McShay and we all know evaluations can change some with the combine. If receivers that have been productive in college test well at the combine they will move up...heck even receivers that aren't that productive that test well move up in the case of Stephen Hill last year.

text: The wiry frame of Martins Meiers harks back to the stereotype of an eighties' center, but in an era of filled-out big men, Meiers still knows how to use his body to his advantage and does not allow himself to be bullied inside the paint - something that attracted German BBL club Mitteldeutscher BC to him this past off-season when he signed with them for his first adventure playing club basketball outside of his home country. The slighter frame also has its advantages, namely the speed in which he can cover the court compared to the more modern center, which does not rule him out from going on the fast-break. Consistency is one of Meiers' more attractive attributes, evidenced by his numbers across three different leagues for Ventspils who he developed for considerably during his two-year stint with them.

Interpretive Handbook
81607 :
Cancer Antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Carcinoma of the breast is the most prevalent form of cancer in women. These tumors often produce mucinous antigens that are large molecular weight glycoproteins with O-linked oligosaccharide chains. Tumor-associated antigens encoded by the human MUC-1 gene are known by several names, including MAM6, milk mucin antigen, cancer antigen (CA) 27.29, and CA 15-3.
CA 15-3 assay values are not elevated in most normal individuals and are frequently elevated in sera from breast cancer patients.
Nonmammary malignancies in which elevated CA 15-3 assay values have been reported include: lung, colon, pancreas, primary liver, ovary, cervix, and endometrium.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Managing breast cancer patients when used in conjunction with clinical information and other diagnostic procedures. Serial testing can assist in early detection of disease recurrence in previously treated stage II and III breast cancer patients
Monitoring response to therapy in metastatic breast cancer patients
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Increasing and decreasing values show correlation with disease progression and regression, respectively.(1) Increasing cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) assay values in patients at risk for breast cancer recurrence after primary therapy may be indicative of recurrent disease before it can be detected clinically (2,3) and may be used as an indication that additional tests or procedures should be performed.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Testing for cancer antigen 15-3 (CA 15-3) should be performed in conjunction with other clinical methods used for the early detection of recurrence.
Measurement of CA 15-3 is not useful as a cancer-screening test.
Some patients, who have been exposed to mouse antigens, whether in the environment or as part of treatment or imaging procedures, may have circulating antimouse antibodies. These antibodies may interfere with the assay reagents to produce unreliable CA 15-3 assay results
Wait at least 8 hours after the last biotin administration before drawing a specimen from patients receiving therapy with high doses of biotin (ie, >5 mg/day) to avoid assay interference.
In rare cases, interference due to extremely high titers of antibodies to ruthenium or streptavidin can occur.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
Males: <30 U/mL (use not defined)
Females: <30 U/mL
Clinical References Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature

Idaho's New Driver's Licenses and Identification Cards
What is changing?
Central Issuance means driver's licenses and identification (ID) cards will be produced at a central, secure location and then mailed to you. You will receive a temporary license or identification card; the new plastic card will be sent to your mailing address within about 10 days.
Why is Idaho making this change?
Central Issuance is a cost-effective, safer and more secure way to handle one of the most important identity documents you own. State-of-the-art security features help protect you from identity theft and fraud.
When does the Central Issuance process begin?
Two county driver license locations (Ada County and Payette County) will begin the new process in May 2011.The statewide rollout for other locations will happen in summer 2011.
My card is good for a few more years. Do I need to do anything now?
No. Your current Idaho license or ID card remains valid until it is time to renew. If you currently have an out of state driver's license, you will need to obtain an Idaho driver's license within 90 days of moving to Idaho.
Can the new driver's license be used for border crossing?
The new driver's license is not an "enhanced driver's license" (EDL). A passport or passport card must be used for border crossing.
How does Idaho compare to other states?
Neighboring states, including Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon and Washington are among the states that centrally issue driver's licenses and ID cards. Idaho is one of 15 remaining states that only issue driver's licenses over-the-counter.
Many states transitioned from over-the-counter issuance for security reasons. Improving security features of licenses and ID cards is the main reason Idaho is converting to the new Central Issuance process.
SECURITY FEATURES and FORMATS
What new security features are included?
Sophisticated security features are incorporated into the new cards. Not all features are evident.
Some of the security elements include:
What information is on the reverse side of the card?
Two barcodes appear on the back side of the card: one barcode contains a card-specific manufacturing inventory number, and a two-dimensional barcode contains the same information printed on the front of the card. The laser-perforated pattern of Idaho (its reverse image) can also be seen when held up to light.
How does the temporary card work?
A temporary driver's license or identification card will be issued for identification and driving purposes until the plastic card arrives in the mail within about 10 business days. The card is mailed in an unmarked envelope, in much the same way credit cards or passports are mailed.
The temporary document contains a photo and all of the information that is contained on the plastic card, including the machine readable barcode.
It is also printed on security paper, which contains ultra-violet (UV) fibers throughout. These fibers can be easily detected under a UV light source. The paper's reverse side is color-washed with thermochromatic ink that temporarily turns white when warmed by the touch.
Can I keep my old license or ID card?
No. Your old card will be surrendered when you receive your new temporary license or ID card.
Can the temporary card be used for driving and airline travel?
Yes. This card will be issued for driving and identity purposes until your new plastic card arrives in the mail.
How long is the temporary card valid?
The temporary card will be valid for 30 days from date of issue.
If my temporary card is lost or destroyed, can I get another one?
Yes, and there is no charge for a duplicate temporary document.
Will businesses accept the temporary card as identification for cashing checks, buying alcohol or tobacco, etc?
This has not been reported to be an issue in other states where central issuance exists (approximately half the nation). However, each business must decide if the temporary document will be accepted.
As Idaho transitions to central issuance, Idaho DMV staff is updating groups representing the restaurant and hospitality industry, as well as law enforcement statewide. These groups have been provided with sample temporary documents.
Where will the cards be produced?
The cards will be produced at a facility within the United States by an experienced issuance firm that has secure facilities and rigorous processes.
Will there be an extra fee for the new card?
No. There are no additional costs to customers.
How long will it take to get my new card in the mail?
Expect to receive your license or ID card within about 10 business days. If the card cannot be delivered by the U.S. Postal Service to the address provided, it will not be forwarded. Instead, it will be returned to the Division of Motor Vehicles at the Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) Headquarters.
What do I do if I don't receive my card in the mail?
If you do not receive your card within 20 days, contact the ITD Division of Motor Vehicles at (208) 334-8735, option 3. All undeliverable driver's licenses and ID cards will be held at the ITD Division of Motor Vehicles.
I don't receive mail at my home address. Can you mail my new card to a P.O. Box?
Yes. Cards will be mailed to the address you provide, and so it is extremely important that you provide your current, accurate mailing address to the DMV.
I changed my address after applying for my new license (but prior to the new card arriving in the mail). What address will show on my new card? Will the post office forward my new card?
The mailing address you provided at the time you applied will be printed on your driver's license, permit, or identification card. The post office will not forward the envelope containing your plastic card.
If it is undeliverable, it will be returned to the Division of Motor Vehicles at the Idaho Transportation Department. If you do not receive your permanent card in the mail within 20 days, you should call ITD at (208) 334-8735, option 3.
Please note, whenever you change your address, this must be reported to the DMV within 30 days.
Address change forms are available on the Driver Services website at itd.idaho.gov/dmv/. The address change forms can be taken to your county driver license office or mailed to the address on the form. Your address can also be changed by emailing the information to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please include your name, driver license number, date of birth, and your new address. Address changes cannot be taken over the telephone.
There are errors on my temporary card. How can I get them corrected? How long will it take? Will this delay getting my new plastic card?
To reduce errors, when you apply for a driver's license, permit, or ID card, a copy of your application form will print for every transaction. This form will include all of the same information that will appear on the actual license or ID card.
The DMV technician will ask you to carefully read this form. If the information is not correct, it can be corrected at that time. If you determine the information is accurate, you will be asked to sign the form, indicating your approval.
If you find an error on your interim document after you have signed the copy of your application form, you will be required to pay $15 for a new card. You will need to come to a county licensing office to have the corrections made. A new interim document will be printed and given to you at the county location, and your corrected card will be mailed to you within 10 business days.
