Planning Permission
This is in no way binding and is dependent on Local Authorities, but may be used as a guide
Applications for approval normally involve a fee, normally related in some way to the value of the development.
Where the development is more than just a simple extension, it is worth considering employing an architect to draw up the plans, submit them to the Local Authority, obtain the approval and then to oversee the work. A professional architect will have professional insurance in case anything should go wrong and should know the Local Officials and their particular foibles.
Every application for Planning Permission or Building Regulations is, to an extent, unique. While the following are general rules, it is impossible to define all the regulations applying to a specific development - Local Authorities have some thick books of rules rather than just these few pages. It is always good advice to consult your local planning/building control officers early to avoid any costly abortive work. If work is carried out without the necessary approvals, the local authority can issue an enforcement notice requiring (at best) retrospective approval or (at worst) demolition of the work completed.
Although the functions of Planning Officials and Building Inspector are separate, the two will often be found in the same building; they are normally very helpful and offer authoritative guidance.
Normally Planning Permission or Building Regulation approval is not required provided that:
• Sheds and greenhouses do not cover more than half of the area of the garden; not including the area occupied by the house.
• It contains no sleeping accommodation and the floor area does not exceed 15 square metres.
• No point is less than one metre from a boundary.
• It is not more than 3m high for a flat roof, or 4m with a ridged roof.
• Overall height from ground level to ridge must not exceed more than 2.5 metres within a 2 metre range of any boundary. A building with overall height exceeding 2.5 mtrs in height and placed within 2 metres of any boundary will require planning permission.
• Height of the eaves must not exceed 2.5 metres
• No part projects beyond any wall of the house that faces a road.
• The outbuilding is for use only by those who occupy the house.
• A Log Cabin should be more than 5 metres from the main dwelling and up to 50% of the remaining garden can be utilised with this type of building.
• No verandas higher than 30cms from ground level.
Building Regulations do state that structures built of combustible material (i.e. a wooden shed) must be at least 2 metres from the main house.
If at all in doubt contact your local authority for clarification. No charge will be made if no planning permission is required.

PHILADELPHIA, June 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Clear Align today completed its purchase of three companies including Computer Optics, irZoom and Hudson Machining. The acquisitions, which were approved by the boards of all four companies on April 26th, will be neutral to Clear Align's earnings in 2012 and accretive thereafter.
irZoom, now a Clear Align company, is the global leader in the design and manufacture of infrared zoom and fixed focal length lenses for SWIR, MWIR and LWIR applications that demand high optical performance over wide zoom ranges and specializes in rugged systems for commercial and military environments. Computer Optics is a world-class manufacturer of custom optical components including flats, prisms, spheric and aspheric optical components up to twelve (12) inches in diameter with up to quarter-wave precision. Computer optics specializes in high-performance quick-turn optical prototypes and offers in-house optical coatings ranging from visible through the infrared that provide as low as 0.25% reflectivity per surface. Hudson Machining adds in-house quick turn mechanical prototype capabilities to Clear Align. The three acquired companies will remain in Hudson, New Hampshire in a consolidated Clear Align facility now called Clear Align North.'
Angelique X. Irvin, CEO of Clear Align, stated, "These acquisitions are part of an overall strategy to expand our international presence and enable quick turn in house prototypes to customers. irZoom and Computer Optics strengthen our portfolio of offerings and discriminators in the tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance market and expand our market to serve commercial and medical customers. The complementary irZoom brand has a respected international presence that we plan to support. We will further invest in expanded optical component manufacturing allowing us to provide more diverse quick-turn optics to better serve an increasingly demanding optics marketplace. We look forward to maintaining and strengthening the relationships that Computer Optics enjoys with its existing customers, and collaborating to jointly expand into new products and markets."
Dr. Jonathan Kane, President at Clear Align, said "Clear Align brings new leadership, systems and infrastructure that enable us to scale our service, support, and production abilities to better serve our existing customers, while expanding our reach to new customers. Clear Align's has world-class manufacturing and system integration capabilities coupled with a strong reputation in the defense and aerospace businesses that benefits our combined companies. Over the last two years the companies developed a strong and collaborative working relationships and this was the logical next step. The combined technology base of the two companies provides a one-stop shop for our customers looking for either off–the-shelf or custom optical solutions from optical design to prototypes to full optics manufacturing."
About Clear Align
Clear Align designs, prototypes and manufactures state of the art custom imaging, micro-optic and laser systems for defense and aerospace customers. Clear Align's imaging expertise spans the UV, visible, NIR, SWIR, MWIR, and LWIR portions of the spectrum systems in both imaging and laser systems. Clear Align has optical component manufacturing and zoom system platforms for fast-turn, competitive solutions that differentiate our customers. Clear Align is an 8(a) certified, SDB, WOSB and SB. More information about the company is available at the company's website, www.clearalign.com.
The Indestructable Lens
While we here at Computer Optics make lenses for all sorts of applications, we are especially proud of the products that we can provide for heavy duty and military applications. Since we manufacture everything in-house, we are able to take the time to really listen to what our clients want and build exactly what they need.
In the commercial lens industry, the consideration of cost and volume are important factors in how things are made. In the military industry, however, the ability to meet specifications is what matters most. We know that a fast and seamless transition from situational awareness to high detail is extremely important to our military clients, so we strive to be sure that our infrared zoom lenses and integrated camera systems meet those requirements. Military optical sights are designed to be used on the front lines, and they see a lot of action, so they need to be ruggedized. We are able to develop lenses that can withstand brute force and not incur any damage.
To show our capabilities, we have manufactured the indestructible lens; a simple, fixed-focus C-mount lens cased in metal, designed to survive almost any attack on it. Check out the video footage of us performing all sorts of tests on this lens.

ATTLEBORO, Mass. — Carlos Ortiz appeared in court Tuesday and, in the span of approximately three minutes, he agreed to remain in jail without bail and was whisked back to lockup.
Little did the media and onlookers know at the time, but the skinny 27-year-old from Bristol, Conn., previously seen weeping before a Connecticut judge, apparently is shaping up as the prosecution's star witness in the murder case against former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.
TIMELINE: The night of the shooting
In documents filed in Florida and obtained Tuesday by the Associated Press, Ortiz told police that Ernest Wallace said Hernandez fired the shots that killed Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semipro football player and Hernandez's associate. The documents, according to the AP, also revealed that police found that a vehicle wanted in a double homicide in Boston in 2012 was rented in Hernandez's name.
The Florida documents were used to justify searches of the Miramar, Fla., home of Wallace, who prosecutors say was the fourth man in the car that night.
According to the documents obtained by the AP, Ortiz gave the following account of Lloyd's death: Ortiz told police that, after the three men picked up Lloyd at his home in Boston, they all headed toward Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, Mass. Ortiz said Hernandez had been upset that Lloyd had been "chilling" with people Hernandez didn't like, but the two men shook hands and seemed to put the disagreement behind them.
Ortiz said the car soon stopped and the other three men got out to urinate. Ortiz said he heard gunshots before Hernandez and Wallace got back into the car without Lloyd and the vehicle sped away.
Hernandez, being held without bail, has pleaded not guilty to murder and five weapons charges. Ortiz remains in jail, charged with illegal possession of a firearm. Wallace also is being held without bail, charged with being an accessory after the fact.
Prosecutors have said Hernandez "orchestrated" the killing, but have resisted saying he is the shooter.
"All we've done is charge is Aaron Hernandez with murder," Bristol County (Mass.) District Attorney Samuel Sutter said Monday. "As far as the specifics about who was the shooter and who might have been a joint venturer, it's too early to say. The investigation is ongoing."
Messages left for Hernandez's attorney, Michael Fee, and Ortiz's attorney, John Connors, were not returned Tuesday.
Ortiz told police he couldn't see who fired the shots because it was dark. At Hernandez's home, Ortiz said, Wallace asked him to get a small gun from under the driver's seat. Ortiz said he did and gave it to Hernandez once they were inside.
Prosecutors said that surveillance video from Hernandez's home shows that he was driving the car when it returned.
Ortiz said he then went to sleep, and when he woke up in the afternoon, according to his account, the three men returned the Altima and rented a Chrysler 300, then returned to Hernandez's home. Ortiz and Wallace then went to the apartment in Franklin that Hernandez and other football players used. Later that day, Wallace and Ortiz drove to Bristol. Ortiz told police Wallace said Hernandez shot Lloyd.
Prosecutors said the gun used in the killing has not been found.
Chris Dearborn, a criminal law professor at Suffolk University in Boston, believes prosecutors eventually will offer Ortiz immunity to testify against Hernandez. But things still could get complicated, he said.
With anything short of immunity, Ortiz could invoke the Fifth Amendment in a state with strong protections against self-incrimination. With immunity, Ortiz still could refuse to testify and be held in contempt, said Dearborn, a former public defender and defense attorney.
Why would Ortiz refuse to testify with immunity? He might regret what he has told police, might worry that people will think he's a snitch, or he might fear revenge, Dearborn said.
And there's one more possible complication: "Remember, he's trying to save himself, too," Dearborn said. "That's why we have trials and cross-examination — to determine who's telling the truth."
In 156 pages of documents unsealed by a Massachusetts judge Tuesday and obtained by USA TODAY Sports, prosecutors revealed Ortiz admitted he was with Hernandez on the night of Lloyd was killed. In those documents, police said Ortiz was the tipster who told investigators about Hernandez's "flop house" apartment in Franklin.
Ortiz said he inadvertently left his cell phone at the apartment, and police, using a search warrant, located the phone in sofa cushions. Also found at the apartment during searches were several boxes of ammunition, police said. In a Hummer, which belonged to Hernandez and was parked at the apartment complex, police said they found a loaded .45 caliber Glock magazine in the console.
Earlier in the day, Connors had solved one of the case's mysteries by saying that Hernandez's older brother, D.J., was the link between Aaron Hernandez and his client. Ortiz and D.J. Hernandez — both 27 — had played basketball together when they were high school freshmen in Bristol, Conn.
D.J. Hernandez is currently a tight ends coach for the University of Iowa.
When Ortiz was arrested on June 28, he and D.J. Hernandez and Ortiz were Facebook friends, and Cesar Sanchez, who said he was a friend of Ortiz's, told USA TODAY Sports that Ortiz said "he went the mansion to hang out" with Aaron Hernandez often. He was referring to Hernandez's residence in North Attleborough.
Sanchez added: "He never told me anything he did over there. He just told me he used to go up there and just hang out with him. That's it."
On Tuesday, with Connors at his side, Ortiz agreed to be held without bail until Aug. 14, when he will appear in court again.
Connors said, for now, Ortiz agreed to be held without bail for two reasons — he's indigent and "couldn't make bail if it were even $10,000 or $20,000" and because Connors needs time to obtain court documents. A judge Tuesday approved Connors' motion for discovery on several items, including search warrants and affidavits — including the documents released Tuesday.
When asked if his client was talking to prosecutors, Connors said, "He's talking to me." But apparently Ortiz is talking to investigators and prosecutors, too.
The Massachusetts documents showed that Hernandez was a suspect from the start of the investigation into the June 17 homicide, with police alarmed by his apparent lack of concern for a dead friend.
The quick work by investigators, detailed in the paperwork, enabled police to obtain search warrants for Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, the apartment in Franklin, several vehicles and his locker in the New England Patriots locker room at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass.
In the documents released in Attleboro, Mass. police said that when they arrived at Hernandez's home at 10:30 p.m. ET on June 17, a half-mile from the crime scene, to notify him of the death of Lloyd and to ask about a car Hernandez had rented for his buddy, Hernandez immediately became defensive and asked, "What's with all the questions?"
Police say Lloyd was shot in the early morning hours of June 17 and his body was found by a jogger at approximately 5:30 p.m. that day.
When asked when he had last seen Lloyd, Hernandez admitted he had been "up his way" the previous night. But Hernandez quickly became agitated and told police they would need to speak with his attorney. He went back into his house, slammed and locked the door, police said. Minutes later, he unlocked the door and approached police with his lawyer's business card, police said in the documents.
When told "this is a death investigation," Hernandez didn't ask whose death. He went back into his house, slammed the door and locked it again. In the documents, police observed, "Mr. Hernandez's demeanor did not indicate any concern for the death of any person."
After contacting his lawyer, Hernandez later agreed to speak with police and went to the North Attleborough police station to be interviewed.
Dearborn said Hernandez's behavior toward the police should not be taken as a show of guilt.
"He grew up in a tough area, Bristol, and probably had some dealings with police," Dearborn said. "I've had clients that have not had good experiences with the police and it shapes how they feel toward them. It's not right or wrong, it's just their experience."
Police apparently are questioning the veracity of statements by Hernandez's fiancée Shayanna Jenkins. She told police that she had gone to bed early on the night of June 16 and didn't know what Hernandez had done after that. But police said surveillance video from the Hernandez home shows Jenkins with Hernandez in the driveway at 12:40 a.m. on June 17 as he meets Wallace and Ortiz hours before Lloyd was shot to death.
While Hernandez was hostile, police said Jenkins cried when she was told of Lloyd's death.
PHOTOS: The Aaron Hernandez saga
Much of the information contained in the Attleboro documents was presented by prosecutors at Hernandez's arraignment. But there were some nuggets previously undisclosed:
— In a search of Hernandez's home, police removed a safe that contained a scale and a plate. It's common drug dealer paraphernalia, but police don't make that connection in the paperwork.
— Jenkins told police that Lloyd used marijuana and was a marijuana dealer, police said. Jenkins told police that Lloyd's phone was constantly ringing and he was constantly talking in "lingo" that led her to believe the conversations were about marijuana sales.
— Police were able to determine the likely time of death from a witness who said he was sitting in his car approximately 200 yards from the crime scene. While on his regular break – between 3 a.m. and 3:30 a.m. — on his overnight shift, he said he heard three gunshots and a car door slamming.
— Surveillance video shows three men, believed to be Hernandez, Ortiz and Wallace leave Hernandez's home in a silver Niassan Altima at approximately 1:09 a.m. on June 17. Before leaving, one man appears to hand Hernandez "a white rope-like item" from the trunk, police said. The car returns to Hernandez's home at 3:26 a.m., police said.
— Police said surveillance video from a camera at a home across the street from Lloyd's house on Fayston Street in Boston determined that Lloyd got into the car with Hernandez, Ortiz and Wallace at 2:33 a.m. Three surveillance cameras at businesses near the crime scene also were used by investigators in tracking the car and creating a timeline.
— Massachusetts State Police ballistic experts determined that the five .45 caliber casings found near Lloyd's body and the casing found in a car rented by Hernandez were fired from the same unknown .45 caliber handgun.
— Witnesses at Rumor Nightclub in Boston told police they observed Hernandez with Lloyd on the night of June 14, when, prosecutors say, Lloyd angered Hernandez by talking to the wrong people. Hernandez, a witness told police, appeared to have a handgun in his waistband that night.

What does it mean to have giants like Google, Apple and Amazon investing in robotics? Since last December, Google alone has acquired a handful of companies in robotics, home automation and artificial intelligence. This can be pretty exciting for robotics. But what exactly is the internet giant planning to do with this technology? Is there something we should be worried about? If there is, what can we do about it?
Experts have been actively talking about this in the media, including through Robohub's recent focus series on Big Deals in Robotics.
In today's episode, AJung talks with Avner Levin, a privacy and cybercrime expert, about Google's recent acquisition of companies. Levin sheds light on why we should be concerned about the recent series of acquisitions by the big companies from privacy and cybercrime perspective. He also discusses whether the existing privacy policies are ready to handle what may lie shortly ahead of us in the future — the future of the Internet of Things, or perhaps Google branded robots.
Avner Levin is the Chair of the Law & Business Department, as well as the Director of the Privacy and Cyber Crime Institute at Ryerson Universityin Toronto, Canada. His research interest is in regulation and protection of privacy with respect to technology within Canada and worldwide. In the interview, he advocates for more discussion of privacy issues to take place, not just within the companies that (do/will) hold our data, but by governing bodies.

A unique stage recreation of the tragic sinking of the Titanic will be played out in a Belfast theatre exactly 100 years to the minute that the ill fated ship sank.
Such is the interest expected in the Belfast Operatic Company's historic week-long Grand Opera House run of the multi award winning "TITANIC – The Musical" that tickets are now on sale – a year in advance of the performances.
The final Gala performance on Saturday, April 14 sets a theatre precedent by having its curtain up at 11.40pm, exactly 100 years after the "unsinkable" ship hit the iceberg which was to seal its tragic fate.
The exciting production will trace the dramatic story of both survivors and victims from setting sail in a minute by minute reenactment of the events lasting two hours and 40 minutes, the precise time it took what was then the "largest moving object in the world" to disappear under the "flat calm" of the icy Atlantic.
Such is the emotion and power of this hugely successful show that when it debuted on Broadway in 1997, the musical - with music and lyrics by Maury Yeston and book and story by the late Peter Stone - won five Tony awards and stunned New York theatre audiences.
Maury Yeston will take his seat in the audience in the Belfast Opera House for the historic drama on the centenary anniversary.
He said: "I can think of nothing better than to re-visit my friends in Belfast to mark the 100th anniversary".
Maury Yeston was guest of honour at Belfast Operatic's Irish premiere of Titanic the Musical in 2005 when it picked up the Association of Irish Musical Societies' awards for Best Overall Show, Best Director, Best Musical Director, Best Chorus and Best Male Singer.
Many of the original award-winning Belfast cast are to be re-united in April 2012 for what promises to be a hugely emotional and unforgettable theatrical experience.
Local theatre's respected Wilfie Pyper who will direct the show said: "It is the show they said could not be done – how can you sing and dance about a tragedy?
"Yet it has proven time and time again that it has the power to really touch audiences around the world and to be part of this unique centenary run in Belfast will be beyond description!"
With 2012 providing the backdrop for so much cultural activity surrounding the Titanic centenary celebrations, this landmark theatrical event is set to be one of the focal points for locals and visitors to the city. For further information visit www.titanicmusicalbelfast.com.

Railers knock off 8th-ranked Lions to stay near top of Central State
By Jeff Benjamin
Send a link to a friend
[January 12, 2013]
The last time Lanphier played a
game at Roy S. Anderson Gymnasium, the team wearing the Lincoln
jerseys walked out the winner. Friday night was no different.
In what was one of the best games of the year, junior Max
Cook outplayed Lanphier's Larry Austin Jr., leading his squad to the
10-point victory. Cook's 16 points, including 10 in the second half,
helped Lincoln improve its record to 13-3, 4-1 in the CS8. The
Lincoln defense, focused on the highly regarded recruit from
Lanphier, held Austin without a field goal after the first quarter.
After the Lions jumped out to an early 3-0 lead, Cook scored the
next four to put Lincoln up and begin the evening's back-and-forth
affair. Senior Will Podbelsek followed with a 3 to extend the Railer
lead. Lanphier knotted the game at seven, only to have Podbelsek
strike again from long range to give the advantage back to the
Railers at 10-7. A basket from Edward Bowlby ended the first-quarter
scoring for the Railers, but Austin put an exclamation point on a
well-played first quarter as he hit from right in front of the
Railer bench to tie the game at 12.
In what would be a game of runs, Lanphier scored first in the
second quarter to take a 14-12 lead. It was Cook again connecting on
a drive to tie the game at 14. The junior seemed completely
unaffected by being defended by one of the top defenders in the
state in Austin.
The Railers knew a passive plan would not prove successful.
"We knew we had to be aggressive, take the ball at them," Lincoln
coach Neil Alexander said. "Austin is a good, good player out there,
but you've got to be able to play on both ends of the court. Max
played really well tonight against him."
A Lanphier (10-6, 4-3) basket again gave the lead to the Lions,
only to have the Railers score six in a row on buckets from Gavin
Block and Bowlby and 2 of 3 free throws after Block was bowled over
shooting a 3-pointer. The pendulum swung back to the Lions as they
went on a 7-2 run to end the half, including a basket from Eddie
Smith as time expired, giving Lanphier the halftime lead at 23-22.
Smith led the Lions with 15 points on the night.
As had seemingly been the case all night, Cook got the scoring
started again for the Railers as his basket put Lincoln up 24-23.
The Lanphier pressure defense and up-tempo style started giving
Lincoln trouble at the beginning of the third quarter. A quick 5-0
run gave Lanphier their largest lead of the night, up 28-24.
The Railers connected for only five 3-pointers in the game, three
in the second half, but all of them came consecutively as the
Railers charged back ahead. Cook's only 3 of the night drew Lincoln
closer, while Tyler Horchem's first of two 3s on the evening put
Lincoln up 30-28. At the 4:51 mark of the third, Cook picked up his
third foul, while less than a minute later, Block mimicked his
teammate in foul trouble. Horchem's second 3 took a little of the
sting out as his make stretched the margin to four at 33-29.
Up 35-32, Lincoln looked to extend even more with seven seconds
to go. As the Railers ran their play, each pass ended up exactly
where it was supposed to, with the final pass going to Bowlby on the
low block. His layup as time expired in the third would increase the
Lincoln lead going into the fourth… had he made it. His miss from
point-blank range was one of those "uh-oh" moments, hoping that miss
would not come back to haunt the home squad.
[to top of second column]
It didn't take long for Lanphier to take advantage as they
scored the first four points of the fourth to take their final
lead of the night at 36-35. But give credit to the Railers. In
the past, being down in the fashion they were might have been
enough to break the spirit of the team. Not this night. The
Railers held their composure and answered right back and then
some. A basket from Podbelsek put Lincoln up 37-36 and the run
was on. A basket from Cook preceded a pair of free throws from
Bowlby as the lead grew to 41-36.
When freshman Xavier Bishop, Lanphier's only serious 3-point
threat, fouled out, all of the defensive attention turned to Austin.
The junior was held to just one free throw in each of the last three
quarters. On this night, try as he might, he would not be enough to
bring his team back.
Bowlby climbed into double figures as his basket put Lincoln up
43-36. The Railers' final six points came from the free-throw line
as they did what was needed from the stripe, going 8 of 11 during
the fourth quarter to cement the win 49-39.
"This was a big win, but I don't want to put all our stones in
one basket," Alexander said. "We have a lot of season left, and we
have to come every night to play. Based on the way we played
tonight, I think we could be a tough out for anyone later in the
Cook and Bowlby led the way with 16 and 10 points respectively,
with Cook also grabbing seven rebounds. Podbelsek finished with
nine, Block scored eight, and Horchem added six. The Railers played
only seven players on the night with Podbelsek, Horchem, and Bowlby
playing all 32 minutes and Cook and Block leaving the floor
sparingly due to foul trouble.
The Railers' stretch of seven games in nine days continues
Saturday when a familiar foe from Big 12 days returns to Roy S.
Anderson Gymnasium as the Green Wave from Mattoon come to town. The
night is scheduled for an early tip with the JV going at 5 and the
varsity set for 6:30 p.m.
MCook 6 3-5 16, Bowlby 4 2-2 10, Podbelsek 3 1-4 9, Block 1 6-7
8, Horchem 2 0-0 6, Ebelherr 0 0-0 0, Krusz 0 0-0 0. Team 16 12-18
49. 3-point field goals 5 (Podbelsek 2, Horchem 2, Cook)
Smith 15, Austin 8, Bolden 5, Millican 4, Wallace 3, Mitchell 2,
Bishop 2. 16 6-13 39. 3-point field goals 1 (Austin).

Technology has changed just about every aspect of modern-day life.
Social media connects us instantly to hundreds or thousands of people. Many individuals sift through hundreds of email messages each workday. Most of us carry high quality cameras in our pocket or purse wherever we go. We can shoot HD video with the push of a button.
These tremendous changes in technology have also had a profound effect on our governmental bodies and officials — perhaps most notably upon our law enforcement agencies.
Many police officers wear body cameras that can record everything he or she sees in the course of the day. Most police cars are equipped with some type of dashboard camera that can record a traffic stop or any other situation.
These videos can prove guilt or innocence, often help police track down a perpetrator and also prove to the public that the police officer acted appropriately in a very volatile situation. These videos can also show the opposite – an officer overreacting to an individual or in the worst cases, a suspect being beaten or shot to death with little provocation.
It is no surprise access to video is being debated throughout the country. In Minnesota, legislation passed in 2016 sets strict limitations on who can access police body camera video and gives the public only certain situations in which to obtain video footage. Don Gemberling, who managed the state's Data Practices Act for 30 years and is now with the Minnesota Coalition on Government Information, explained recently to the ECM Editorial Board that the law classifies all body camera data as "private" unless it shows police actions that caused substantial bodily harm or when an officer while on duty discharged a firearm. Individuals would have some access if they were the subject of the video.
In another recent local government decision, Hennepin County has set a "destroy by" date on emails. Some have set that timeline for 30 or 60 days and have directed their technology departments to create "auto-deletes" for email accounts.
We find these decisions concerning and question if they are in the best interest of the public.
In many well-known police shooting cases, a quick release of the accompanying video would have ended speculation. We believe the Chicago police hurt themselves more by holding for over a year a video in which a teenager was shot. The time delays only served to heighten the anger and distrust within the community.
The same could be said for the shooting of Jamar Clark in Minneapolis. While the video is unclear, it still shows the volatility of the situation, much of it caused by Clark in the first place.
As for emails, we understand that local government employees process thousands and even hundreds of thousands of emails in the course of a month. A large majority of those messages are routine and probably downright boring. Yet, some contain important pieces of information – from purchasing quotes, to background debate on tough issues, to decisions being made and justified.
We reiterate a cry the press has made for centuries: The people's business needs to be completed in public. Just as city council meetings need to be open to the public, police records (including video), email exchanges among government officials and court documents need to be available for scrutiny by the public and the press.
We realize that the proliferation of "messages" – from Twitter, to email to internet content – is massive and a difficult task to manage. We also understand that police body camera content can include portions that should not be made public – images of a child who is victim of a parental beating, a woman who has just reported a domestic violence incident, or the innocent person who was at the wrong place at the wrong time when a police raid was conducted. We also agree that protecting a victim is always imperative.
As our local, state and national leaders work through many of these issues, we implore our lawmakers to place the public's right to know at the top of the priority list.
Our democracy and our freedoms are founded in a commitment to open government and open law enforcement.
Long ago Patrick Henry said, "The liberties of a people never were, nor ever will be, secure, when the transactions of their rulers may be concealed from them." Openness and transparency ensures our liberties.
Our plea to all of our lawmakers and decision-makers is to remember that it is the people of our great country who always deserve the right to know, and it is those people who should always be first and foremost when public records are involved.

The woman shot to death this month after Washington police chased her car from the White House to Capitol Hill twice told authorities in Connecticut that President Obama had her home under "electronic surveillance," according to new Stamford, Conn., police records released Thursday.
She also told police that she regularly spoke with the president.
The reports covered several incidents involving Miriam Carey in which police were dispatched to her home, and described how officers often found her angry and combative, neglectful of her infant daughter and sometimes upset that strangers were "stalking" her.
On Oct. 3 the 34-year-old Carey, a former dental employment agent, drove erratically around the streets of Washington with her daughter in the car, finally being shot to death after bumping a barricade and striking a Secret Service officer near the White House and then being surrounded by police on the Senate side of Capitol Hill.
In December 2012 police responded to her home after her boyfriend, Eric Francis, reported that she had taken the infant outside in only pajamas, without proper warm clothing. But Carey told the officers that she wanted Francis removed from her home because "Stamford and the state of Connecticut is on a security lock-down," the reports said.
Latest News
"She stated that President Obama put Stamford in lockdown after speaking to her because she is the Prophet of Stamford," the reports state. "She further stated that President Obama has put her residence under electronic surveillance and that it was being fed live to all the national news outlets."
Police were called back to her home later that month. She again said she was a "prophet for the city of Stamford" and that she has "direct communication with President Obama and will only speak to him," according to the reports. While officers tried to handcuff her, she fought back, kicking and injuring one of them. She was taken to a hospital for evaluation.
Police again were summoned in May. This time she complained that her tires had been stolen after she parked illegally near her home. Police noted that all four tires indeed were gone, and that the car was sitting on milk crates.
On police dispatch recordings that were also released, Carey is heard complaining about people outside her front and back windows supposedly trying to videotape her. She said four men were there and that they had been stalking her for four to five months.

Auto bailout may have saved Obama
It may have been the bailout that bailed out the president.
On Tuesday night, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin swung President Barack Obama's way — at least partly a "thank you" to the president for the automobile bailout, pollsters say.
Story Continued Below
According to exit polling released by The Associated Press in Ohio, 60 percent of Buckeye State voters backed the auto bailout; three-quarters of those voters cast their ballot for Obama.
And Peter Brown, assistant director for the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, which showed Obama consistently with a several-point lead over Mitt Romney in polling data through the campaign, said the auto bailout was instrumental for this differential. He told Bloomberg BusinessWeek that without the bailout, Ohio would likely have been leaning toward Romney
Especially in the late going, Obama's bailout of General Motors and Chrysler rose to the top of the campaign discourse — and nowhere more prominently than in Ohio. Both candidates and their surrogates took potshots at one another and jockeyed to redefine how voters saw their actions.
But Romney never fully recovered from voters' perceptions of his 2008 op-ed column in The New York Times, titled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt" — a headline written by an editor and not the candidate.
"If General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for yesterday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye. It won't go overnight, but its demise will be virtually guaranteed," Romney wrote in his opener.
Romney's dire predictions never happened, and Obama's campaign machinery has won the messaging war about the bailout having saved Detroit.
As the op-ed became campaign fodder, Romney's camp tried to massage that message — "Mitt Romney's a car guy," running mate Paul Ryan said during his debate with Vice President Joe Biden. But Romney struggled with the narrative of trying to explain how he wanted a managed bankruptcy without about $79 billion in government money Obama used to help prop up the industry.
Without the infusion of federal cash, those companies would have had to appeal to the private credit market. Then in the throes of a financial meltdown, most market analysts believe private equity would not have been Detroit's savior.

ESPN2 Shows Only One Car Finish At Kentucky
Kentucky Speedway can turn-out a crowd like the Busch Series rarely gets to enjoy on its normal Saturday events. Often times treated like just an "after thought," viewers this season have seen the Busch guys put on a show for almost empty stands on several occasions. Phoenix in April was a good example.
After a strong pre-race show, the Busch drivers took to the track Saturday for a stand-alone weekend race televised on ESPN2. Only a couple of NEXTEL Cup drivers made the trip from Michigan to Kentucky to compete, allowing the Busch regulars to finally shine. As usual, Carl Edwards was the man to beat, but the race was any one's to win.
Marty Reid and Rusty Wallace provided the commentary, with a solid team of pit road reporters who cover this series like a glove. The chemistry between the pit road gang and the teams is one of the most outstanding elements of the ESPN telecasts.
On a hot night in Kentucky, NASCAR was smiling as finally some side-by-side racing was being show on national television. In primetime, the Busch Series put on some of the best racing of the year, and kept things clean and professional most of the time. It was clear that these guys like this track, and the fans were eating it up.
ESPN2 viewers of the Busch Series have a running joke about how many times Rusty will mention his son Steven, and how many times Steven will be mentioned because he hit something or someone during the race. Normally, they almost even out because Steven is definitely working on his car control and temper about as much as Rusty is working on promoting his race team. Saturday night at Kentucky was no exception.
The Busch Series has great human interest stories with its young drivers, and this Father's Day weekend proved to be a perfect scenario for this race. Young Brad Coleman is going to be huge in NASCAR in a couple of years, and ESPN pit reporter Jamie Little talked to Brad's father as Brad was leading the pack late in the race. One could see where Brad gets his patience and balance, as Mr. Coleman was a calm and supportive father to this young man.
As things strung-out, it became clear that the ESPN technical crew had again put on another sparkling race. The driver and crew chief interview by radio at the beginning is a great touch, and having the driver continue as the "in-race reporter" is a lot of fun. This week with Stephen Leicht was even better as he won the race.
Unfortunately, the ESPN production crew became caught-up in the excitement of having their "reporter" win the race. As Leicht came across the finish line, he was alone and unchallenged. The problem is that viewers only saw Leicht, and no one else finish the race.
Young Brad Coleman was not shown finishing second. Former Cup driver Scott Wimmer was not shown finishing third. It was amazing that ESPN would not show Aric Almirola or Marcos Ambrose, two high profile Busch drivers, finish the race in 6th and 11th respectively. This was a really big mistake, and it needs to be corrected.
Earlier this year, Fox Sports decided that after four hours of hard racing, the fans at home only deserved to see the winner cross the finish line in NEXTEL Cup races. It was suddenly more important to see one car slowing down and a pit crew jumping up-and-down than it was to see the remainder of the field screaming toward the checkered flag. Saturday, ESPN joined that club. No one other than the winner finished the race unless you were seated at the track and watching live. How fair is that to the viewers?
There was no graphic display of the cars as they came across the line, no "wideshot" on-camera to watch the beating-and-banging, and no thought given to the stories on the track that were still in-progress. As I type this late Saturday night, I feel as though I was cheated out of the end of a good book, or the last inning of a baseball game. I have no idea who was racing to the line, what happened in the last lap, or why my driver finished where he did. If you were pulling for someone other than the winner, you were just flat out of luck.
For a series chasing fans at half-empty racetracks on Saturday afternoons, this ESPN snub is a tough one to take. The Busch series was finally alone, in primetime, on the regular TV network home of the sport. The stands were packed, the cheering crowd was awesome, and the storylines were fantastic. One can only imagine the battling to the finish on this fun track under the lights. ESPN made that decision for us, and told us very clearly. If you wanted to see the finish of this race, you should have bought a ticket. Tough end to a great race on a good track for NASCAR.

Ok, I just read the Massaro post and wrote on it and though the race was full of action, I somehow forgot the LACK OF CAMERA work at the end of the race.
But HONESTLY, I am beginning to think ESPN only has one camera at the finish line.
MY MAIN GRIPE is lack of wide angle shots. This has happened REPEATEDLY.
IS THIS what we are going to get EVERYWEEK with ESPN with Busch and CUP races?
This is getting old but somehow, ACCEPTED by NASCAR.
They are REALLY LOSING FOCUS of what the race is about. THE CARS.
Do the HUMAN INTEREST stories later. Or, how about this, HOW ABOUT SHOWING THE END OF THE RACE LIVE, and showing the crew and family members on delay as they watched their guy WIN?
Somebody is not thinking at ESPN.
I get an ache in my stomach thinking of them covering things full time.
Keep up the great work and let's see if ESPN hears us.
They DID tame down that INSIPID FULL THROTTLE crap tonight.
One small baby step.
p.s. John, is there ANY way to turn off this word verification thingie? sometimes there are SO MANY LETTERS distorted I can hardly read, and I spend more time RETYPING this thing than I do my posts, LOL.

I was happy to see a young driver (S. Leicht) win, but I immediately noticed that Brad Coleman, the topic of heated conversation a few laps earlier, essentially disappeared from the ESPN screen.
I hate that Brad and the other Busch regulars will not have video of their fine finishes and that we viewers also missed it.
ESPN has joined the FOX gang with this "show only the winner" goof.
For the love of Harry Gant, who thinks that is a good idea??

Once again ESPN's camera work was awful. EVERY, SINGLE RESTART was the same. Show a s/f line shot, show a speed shot entering turn one.
Because of this we missed 3-wide racing for the lead (twice) and the leaders wrecking with 40 laps to go! We were left to wonder... what happened until they showed the replays!
Any producer that was paying attention at all had to know that Steven Wallace would be extremely aggressive on that restart... so wouldn't you think you would stay with him and Carl Edwards to see what happens?
No... ESPN just goes to their same routine of high speed shots.
Why can't ESPN figure out that WIDE ANGLE SHOTS are the best way to show the race? I see someone earlier has noticed the same thing. PLEASE SHOW US CAMERA SHOTS THAT LET US SEE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE RACE!

I too was disappointed in ESPN not showing the ENTIRE finish of the race. I am an AMBROSE and ALMIROLA fan. HOW did Biffle get past MARCOSE. It would have been nice for the fans of the other 42 drivers/teams to see them finish also. Poor production & lack of repect for the fans.
I would also like to send a message to Rusty:
"Give it a rest already! Your job in the booth is to call the race, not promote your team & go on & on about Steven. I may have been a Steven fan, but the constant commentary about him has made me hope for his early 'OUT'/DNF so I don't have to listen to Rusty for the entire race."

this whole HORRIBLE camera work has been mentioned NUMEROUS times..while some think fox is bad (and they CAN BE by focusing on the leaders too badly) I can't remember MISSING the cars going across the finish line.
Can you IMAGINE if ESPN had been at Daytona??? we woulda ONLY have seen Harvick and Martin finish and not even KNOWN of the crash going on behind.
And these ZOOM ZOOM cams are a TOTAL WASTE OF TIME! I have voice this for years...where the cam is low on the ground to show a split second of the cars as they go "zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom." WTH??
Somebody must have fancy modern camera MTV-itis with this rubbish. It's the same when you watched taped interviews and they add grainy soft focus or make the picture jump, but I digress.
I have said it once and I will say it for the 40th time, ESPN WATCH THE CLASSIC RACES!! from the old days.
COUNT how many cars are on the TV SCREEN.
If you keep this shoddy camera work up, I WILL STRICTLY be listening on MRN.
Those guys at least paint a mental picture and details of what is going on in the race.
That is better than sitting in front of my tv for 4 to 5 hours of a PLETHORA of commercials and cautions just to see THE LEADER RACE and the wife/pit crew jump up and down like boyscouts who just all earned some merit badges.
GOOD GRIEF. How OLD are the producers in the ESPN booth. Twelve?&^%$#@!
I have to go get my radio for today's race.
If ESPN pulls this NO FINISH of cars again at the end of a race, SOMEBODY get us a REAL EMAIL and phone number of SOMEBODY to call at ESPN to complain.
And not just some poor receptionist who has no control of the camera work.
Ok...I am getting a really bad attitude and the race has not started yet. But if NASCAR ratings continue to drop, ESPN IS TO BLAME!!
Again, IS NASCAR NOT WATCHING the end of the races on tape TO SEE WHAT THE HOME FANS ARE SEEING????
or MORE importantly, NOT SEEING???

I have to agree, ESPN's camera shots were terrible all night. On the restarts I don't want to see a shot of the whole field crossing the start/finish line. I want to see the leaders on the restart all barreling 3 wide into turn one. I saw a lot of dumb camera shots in this race and can only say that ESPN needs a director that is a race fan. Unless I'm wrong, the director picks which cameras to shots to show during the broadcast. And what was with the tight shot from the infield towards the flag stand that they kept showing? All it showed us was a blur as the cars wizzed by.
As for Rusty, I think he is about the worst race analyst there is. I'd like about anybody but him. He was arrogant as a driver and he still is as an announcer.
I was really glad to see Mike M. as the pre-race host. He was great. Hope he gets a chance to do more.

I don't have that big a problem only showing the winner across the line...in certain circumstances.
This is one of them. Leicht just won his first race, he DESERVES to have the attention focused on him. Just as Coleman would have had he managed to hang on and win.
If Carl Edwards had won, or someone else who had been in VL many times before, then yes, I'd be more irritated.
But Leicht winning is just an important story as how the race ended, and I think the focus was proper here.

I was at the Busch race at Kentucky Speedway. I go every year for Busch and the Trucks. This was the first Busch race of the season I have enjoyed watching.
First reason is not having to listen to Rusty Wallace. He adds little or nothing to the broadcasts but annoying, repetitive dribble. Its almost as awkward as his IRL broadcasts.
Secondly, There were much fewer Cup drivers which lets the Busch regulars compete for a win. I don't ever wish bad luck on anyone, but once Carl wrecked, we got to see some great racing for the lead continue past the first few laps of a restart. Kentucky's racing gets better each year as the track ages. Its a shame TV viewers weren't given coverage of all the racing. There were several different story lines playing out all through the field. After Regan Smith's trouble, we watched with great anticipation as he earned one lap back, and then got the lucky dog and was cruising back toward the front before getting caught in another car's spin. Being at the track meant that we could watch ALL the racing and weren't limited by ESPN's limited coverage.
Third reason is that the stands at Kentucky are always full and the fans are always excited! It is very disapointing to see empty seats at a race. Kentucky is a great track all around and it deserves a Cup race.

Cisco Extends TelePresence to Rugged and Remote Locations
Not so long ago, OJ Winge unveiled Cisco's mission to ensure the "Power of In-Person" experience to everyone and high-quality, lifelike video would be delivered to all users and environments in any organization.
Cisco continues to enable and extend telepresense throughout organizations worldwide for any environment. Our latest technologies – the new VX Tactical endpoint, ISDN Link and ISDN Gateway – allow telepresence more deployment flexibility in new locations regardless of environment or connection options.
The new Cisco TelePresence VX Tactical is a ruggedized mobile endpoint built for "in-person" conversations with other members of their team no matter where they are in the world. Portable and ruggedized, the VX Tactical offers the benefits of mobility through a hard case-style form factor that is ideal for use in military, emergency response, oil and gas, and construction environments where field work is often required. The VX Tactical features a high-impact plastic shell with an aluminum interior frame to provide structural strength, and is designed to be water-, sand-, chemical- and corrosive-resistant. It can be used virtually anywhere – in a Humvee, tank, fire truck, even on an oil rig – so that, anywhere you can get an Internet connection whether it be IP, Wi-Fi, 3G, 4G or satellite, you have TelePresence with you.
Speaking of flexible connections, there are many areas of the world where ISDN is the only option, or where connection to external networks such as V.35 is required. For example, small branch offices of banks located in smaller cities across the globe may only have ISDN connectivity, which previously limited customers' choices in the telepresence endpoints they could select. This has kept many of our customers on the MXP platform – but with the new Cisco TelePresence ISDN Link, a compact appliance that provides ISDN and external network connectivity, our customers can upgrade to our latest products: Cisco TelePresence EX, MX, SX and C Series endpoints. The ISDN Link is a great companion product to the VX Tactical, which is often deployed in remote locations where ISDN is the only connection option.
While the ISDN Link is used for ISDN connectivity with one or two endpoints, the new ISDN Gateway would act as a network resource for ISDN connectivity for multiple endpoints. ISDN Gateway completes the connectivity for customers with a dispersed network. The ISDN Gateway products support all Cisco TelePresence endpoints to enable a collaborative and secure ISDN network for a HD telepresence solution no matter where the customer is located in the world.
So no matter whom you want to talk to, where they reside, whether they use IP or ISDN, you will be able to connect in seconds and experience HD video. The solutions continue to support new use cases as we continue to build out our telepresence technology that brings people together anywhere, anytime.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

America's over-100 crowd is booming
After celebrating his 100th birthday in Sacramento with friends and family, Lou Weintraub headed to sea for a 10-day cruise with his wife.
"You should have seen the number of older people on the cruise," said Weintraub, who retired from work as a nonprofit executive in 1979.
"They weren't older than you," said his wife, Roz Levy-Weintraub, 82, who still works selling real estate.
"But they looked older," said Weintraub.
"And they seemed older," agreed Levy-Weintraub.
He was born to Polish immigrant parents in New York on Jan. 25, 1914, the middle of their three offspring. Weintraub was a child of the hard Depression years, and later, as a young man, he served as a clinical psychologist in the military during World War II. Sharp and involved in the community as a volunteer even today, he remembers it all.
As a centenarian, Weintraub is part of another significant moment: the nation's rapid demographic shift into very old age. According to the 2010 U.S. census, America is home to the world's largest population of centenarians, more than 53,300 people 100 years old and older.
That number represents an astonishing 66 percent increase over the nation's centenarians in 1980. During the same time, the country's total population grew by 36 percent.
And California leads the way with the oldest of the old: In 2010, according to the census, the state was home to 5,921 centenarians, or more than one-tenth of the nation's total population 100 years old and older. The four-county Sacramento region is home to about 320 residents in that age group.
Celebrating a 100th birthday – that special milestone for centenarians and their loved ones – is becoming statistically commonplace.
"We've seen life expectancy make considerable gains in the past 100 years," said Joe Rodrigues, long-term care ombudsman for the California Department of Aging. "We used to say the fastest-growing segment of our oldest adults was 85 and older. Today, it's 100 and older."
People are paying attention to that statistical reality: To recognize people turning 100, Assembly member Mariko Yamada of Davis established what she calls the Century Circle of centenarians in her district. Since 2010, her office said, she has honored 91 100-year-olds. And there are enough people living to 100 that the Social Security Administration has created the Centenarian Project, which seeks to verify that centenarians receiving benefits are really still alive.
Experts on aging know that centenarians are most likely to be female and white, residents of the West or the South, and living on their own or with family members, not in nursing care. But why are so many more people today living so much longer?
Winning the genetic lottery plays a big role – Weintraub's older sister, for example, lived to age 102. But genes aren't the whole story.
"Genes are 30 percent of healthy aging," said Cheryl Osborne, chairman of the California State University, Sacramento, gerontology program. "The other 70 percent involves what we do with what we've got.
"To live to 100, you have to be well physically and socially and psychologically and spiritually. These are not people who are dying in skilled nursing. They're actively living in the community."
And they've been lucky. To live to 100, today's centenarians had to survive their earliest years: More than 25 percent of children born in the early 1900s died before they reached school age. Life at the turn of the last century was hard, and often, it was short. The average life expectancy was 47.
Today's centenarians had to survive the war years, as well as the diseases that in the 1960s struck down so many of their generation in middle age, such as heart attack and cancer.
"We've seen many advances in medicine," Rodrigues said, "and we've seen people manage chronic disease with medication. Now we're living longer but we're living with more chronic conditions, like heart disease and arthritis – but those conditions are managed with medication."
To live to 100, the oldest Americans long ago learned to keep going, to walk and garden, to spend time with family and friends. The key to a long life, experts agree, is moderation and involvement.
"In every centenarian study I've seen in the past 20 years, the data is consistent," Osborne said. "You've got to believe in something beyond yourself. You have to take care of yourself. You've got to exercise in some way. You need to be around people and give back to your community.
"You have to have a purpose for getting up every day."
Lou Weintraub does. Really, he always has.
A longtime executive with San Francisco's Jewish Community Federation before he retired, he has served on the board of a number of commissions and nonprofits in Sacramento, where he moved in 1989 after meeting his wife.
His eyes bother him a bit these days. He was diagnosed with macular degeneration at age 98. That's when he gave up his driver's license and stepped back a bit from some of his activities. But he still works out at the gym three times every week, and he still attends Renaissance Society classes on the CSUS campus. He goes to meetings with his volunteer groups and does his own taxes.
"What I see about Lou is that he cares more about other people than himself," his wife said. "He's always caring about somebody else."
Weintraub's congregation, Mosaic Law, honored his birthday during a shabbat service and lunch afterward.
"Mr. Weintraub has the energy of a 50-year-old," Rabbi Reuven Taff said. "He's not somebody who looks for honors. He's one of the most humble guys but he possesses tremendous strength of character."
But Weintraub doesn't pretend to have answers for his longevity.
"People ask how I've lived to be 100," he said. "You can say you've had the best medical care but so have others.
"You trust. You have to believe. All I can think is, someone up there has said, 'Stay alive.' "

SAN JOSE — Police announced Tuesday that two people have been arrested in the city's seventh homicide, which involved a man being fatally struck by a hit-and-run driver after a Feb. 16 altercation at the Capitol Flea Market.
Andrew Reynoso, 24, was arrested Saturday on suspicion of murder, while Davinna Mariscal, 21, was arrested Feb. 18 on suspicion of being an accessory after the fact. Both are San Jose residents.
Eric Vallejo, 23, was struck by a vehicle on Snell Avenue just south of Capitol Expressway in what investigators believe was a gang-related killing. It followed a mid-afternoon altercation between two groups of people inside the flea market. They were told to leave, and the alleged dispute continued just outside the flea market, and at some point Vallejo was struck by a vehicle. He died at the scene.
Both groups fled, and a little while later, two men showed up at a hospital, one with a stab wound and the other with injuries consistent with being hit by a vehicle. Police did not disclose Tuesday whether either of those men was Reynoso.
Police are looking for a charcoal colored 2008 Mercedes-Benz E-550 sedan, with plate number 7DMZ599, which they believe is connected to the crime. Police believe it has rear-end damage.
Anyone with information about the crime should contact the San Jose Police Department's homicide unit at 408-277-5283. People who wish to remain anonymous can call Silicon Valley Crime Stoppers at 408-947-STOP (7867). Anyone providing information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the suspect may be eligible for a cash reward from Crime Stoppers.
