View EPIC's Renewed Petition, Sent on July 26, 2013. (PDF) July 26, 2013 General Keith B. Alexander Director, National Security Agency 9800 Savage Road Fort Meade, MD 20755 Secretary Chuck Hagel Department of Defense 1400 Defense Pentagon Washington, DC 20301 Re: Petition for NSA to Conduct a Public Rulemaking on its Monitoring and Collection of Communications Traffic within the United States Dear General Alexander and Secretary Hagel: The undersigned individuals and organizations, concerned about the rule of law and the protection of Constitutional freedoms, hereby petition the National Security Agency to conduct a public rulemaking on the agency's monitoring and collection of communications traffic within the United States. 5 U.S.C. § 553(e). We believe that the NSA’s collection of domestic communications contravenes the First and Fourth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and violates several federal privacy laws, including the Privacy Act of 1974, and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 as amended. The NSA’s collection of solely domestic communications, which has been acknowledged by the President, the Director of National Intelligence, and the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, also constitutes a legislative rule that “substantively affects the public to a degree sufficient to implicate the policy interests animating notice-and- comment rulemaking” under the Administrative Procedure Act. EPIC v. DHS, 653 F.3d 1, 6 (D.C. Cir. 2011). Accordingly, the NSA's collection of domestic communications, absent the opportunity for public comment, is unlawful. We hereby petition the National Security Agency, a component of the Department of Defense, for relief. We ask the NSA to immediately suspend collection of solely domestic communications pending the completion of a public rulemaking as required by law. We intend to renew our request each week until we receive your response. Sincerely, Marc Rotenberg Dr. Alessandro Acquisti James Bamford Grayson Barber Professor Ann Bartow EPIC Petition 1 July 26, 2013 to National Security Agency NSA Surveillance of Domestic Communications Professor Colin Bennett Professor Christine Borgman Professor Julie E.

Their genomes carry single nucleotide 14 polymorphisms and deletions that are characteristic of the B.1.1.7 variant of concern, but lack the full 15 complement of lineage-defining mutations. Instead, the remainder of their genomes share contiguous 16 genetic variation with non-B.1.1.7 viruses circulating in the same geographic area at the same time as 17 the recombinants. In four instances there was evidence for onward transmission of a recombinant- 18 origin virus, including one transmission cluster of 45 sequenced cases over the course of two months.

  • Political Traditions and Scottish Devolution
    Political Traditions and Scottish Devolution by Matthew Hall A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Political Science and International Studies School of Government and Society The University of Birmingham April 2009 1 Abstract This thesis seeks to develop a conception of the political traditions operating in the UK and then apply it to the development of Scottish Devolution. I argue that the concept of tradition has been under-valued and theorised in social science and that the notion of political traditions has heuristic value when applied to British politics. Discussion of a distinctive British Political Tradition has been kept to the margins in explanations of the British political system with only a few authors seeking to explore the ideational underpinnings of the institutions and process of British government and the Westminster Model. The recent work of Bevir and Rhodes has raised the profile of political traditions, however I contend that their conceptualisation is flawed and thus, heuristically limited. I argue that we can identify a dominant political tradition, the British Political Tradition, which has decisively influenced the nature and conduct of British political life over time. This tradition expresses and facilitates the ideas and interests of dominant socio-economic groups in UK society. However it has not gone uncontested. We can also identify the existence of competing political traditions which challenge aspects or the entirety of, the British Political Tradition. Although competing political traditions resonate asymmetrically, it is through the process of conflict and contestation that changes in the British political system can be explained.
