Home Office pledge to review 'excessive' time spent on bail is ignored by Government
Law Society chair calls on the Government to introduce a 28-day time limit for those held on bail
James Cusick
James Cusick is political correspondent of The Independent and The Independent on Sunday. As an experienced member of the lobby, he has previously worked at The Sunday Times and the BBC. His career as a journalist has been split between print and television, including senior positions as producer with Sir David Frost and at BBC Newsnight. He is also an award-winning golf and travel writer, working for over a decade as the UK contributing editor for one of the USA's leading golf magazines. He broadcasts regularly for the BBC and CNN. He lives in London.
Tuesday 28 May 2013
The Home Office has been accused of going back on a promise to tackle the "excessive duration" of police bail, after new figures showed that more than 3,000 people have waited six months for a decision on charges.
More than 57,000 suspects are currently on police bail, according to statistics obtained from police forces under the Freedom of Information Act.
One 45-year-old man has been waiting more than three-and-a-half years to find out if he will be charged, having been arrested and bailed in October 2009 by the Metropolitan Police on suspicion of fraud. He is still on police bail and is back in court in August.
The Independent can disclose that the problem has become worse in the past two years since Home Office minister Baroness Browning told campaigners the Government would address the issue.
Speaking in the House of Lords in 2011, Baroness Browning said she had been briefed about the "excessive duration of police bail in some cases and about unduly onerous conditions attached to the bail". She indicated that the government would begin consulting on reforms later that year.
Today, The Law Society said the Home Office appeared to have forgotten about the reform assurance.
Richard Atkinson, chairman of the society's Criminal Law Committee, called on the government to use fast-tracked primary legislation to introduce a 28-day statutory maximum period for those held on police bail.
Mr Atkinson said extensions of police bail should involve police using magistrates' courts to explain where investigations were at, and why a period beyond 28 days was necessary - as they do now in applications for additional detention time.
James Welch, the legal director of Liberty, said that although police bail was a vital tool in the police's armoury, the lack of any time limit meant "lives are being put on hold, and days disrupted by burdensome bail conditions with no end in sight". He added: "A reasonable statutory backstop would end the uncertainty and fear of having the threat of prosecution hanging over your head indefinitely."
Chris Eyre, from the Association of Chief Police Officers, said police bail was "an essential tool in securing justice." He said the process allowed investigators to explore every possible avenue, while those arrested "need not remain in custody".
However, the Police Federation, which represents 140,000 officers, said the growing numbers affected by police bail were not being helped by cuts in force budgets of about 20 per cent.
Steve White, the federation's vice-chair, said officers were increasingly being forced to choose between dealing with increased caseloads of people on bail, or sending officers out to patrol the streets.
A Home Office spokesman said: "We continue to keep police bail provisions under review to ensure they strike the right balance between protecting an individual's right to civil liberty and allowing police to carry out thorough criminal investigations."

PDX bicycle boom races through the recession
|| Print |
|Archives - November 2009
|Wednesday, October 21, 2009
If you think Portland has gone to the bicyclists, just wait until 2030. If things go according to the city's updated Master Bicycle Plan, 20 years from now one of four commuters will travel by bike along a network of "Major City Bikeways" and "Local Bike Service Ways" from one "Bicycle District" to the next. Along with miles of new bike routes, the city is considering 200,000 bike maps, 150 cycling events per year and $500,000 in tax incentives for bicycle businesses.
It could prove a savvy move. A report by Portland economist Joe Cortright finds that Portlanders drive four miles less per day than the national average, which frees an extra $1.2 billion per year to spend on things other than cars. About $800 million of that circulates through the local economy.
The result is a rare thing in these times: a market that's growing. Record numbers of Portlanders are commuting to work by bike on weekdays and tearing it up on the cyclocross course on the weekends. Some 80,000 bicyclists took part in just four events this past summer, the Providence Bridge Pedal and the three Sunday parkway rides organized by city government. Cycle Oregon and Mountain Bike Oregon both sold out.
Ashland's United Bicycle Institute, the nation's premier frame-building school, opened its Portland campus in September. The ongoing Oregon Manifest bike building show in the Pearl District expanded from a three-day event last year into a month-long extravaganza this year. Bike shops and frame builders continue to proliferate. Two of the city's most popular constructors, Sweet Pea and Vanilla, are experimenting with more efficient production lines to shorten their multi-year waiting lists. Sweet Pea co-founder Natalie Ramsland says the recession has not prevented new out-of-state customers from making the "pilgrimage" to Portland to get fitted for a custom bike and soak in the cycling scene.
The scene also continues to spawn businesses such as bicycle parking specialist BikeRacker and distribution service Portland Pedal Power. The city is teeming with bike lawyers, bike realtors, bicycle baristas and bike taxis. There's even a design race to create the perfect party bike; a recent design from Portland bike builder Metrofiets carries two kegs under the seat and a stack of pizzas on the rear rack.
Another race is heating up among businesses trying to convince the city to build on-street bike rack clusters in front of their businesses. The waiting list is 70 deep and counting, as restaurants and cafés angle to fuel up a new category of consumers with more disposable income than you might think.

Signs of life in venture capital fundraising
Send this to a friend
- Lindsay Riddell
- Reporter- San Francisco Business Times
- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
Fundraising at venture firms rebounded slightly in the first quarter, which should be a good sign for entrepreneurs looking for investments, especially in the Bay Area.
In the first quarter, 43 U.S. venture firms raised a collective $4.2 billion, according to a Dow Jones VentureSource report released today. That's the lowest investment raise of any first quarter in the last three years, but a 65 percent increase over the fourth quarter of 2012.
Of the five firms that raised the most in the first quarter of 2013, four are based in the San Francisco Bay Area or have a large office here.
Battery Ventures raised the most of any firm, closing a $650 million fund in Q1. Its Silicon Valley Office is in Menlo Park. Locally, Battery is invested in Glassdoor, HotelTonight and Delphix among others.
Third Rock Ventures based in Boston, has an office full of VCs in San Francisco's biotech haven, Mission Bay. It came in second for the quarter in fundraising with $500 million.
Menlo Park-based Redpoint Ventures' $400 million raise was good enough for fourth on the list. Sunnyvale-based Nokia Growth Partners closed a $250 million fund.
Rounding out the list was Boston-based Spark Capital, at No. 3.
Investments made in the quarter were down. The $6.36 billion invested in 752 deals was the lowest investment total in any of the past nine quarters dating back to Q1 2011. The quarterly total represented an 11 percent decrease in capital from the fourth quarter of 2012.
Still, San Francisco claims the largest single investment round of the quarter by a single company: Pinterest's $200 million raise from Andreesen Horowitz, Bessemer Venture Partners, FirstMark Capital and Valiant Capital Management.
Lindsay Riddell covers energy and cleantech for the San Francisco Business Times.

As everyone is probably aware Internet Explorer 10 was released for windows 7 (both 32 and 64Bit variants) earlier in the week along with another update to Adobe flash (11.6.602.171).
Now i was looking forward to this release as IE10 runs pretty good on my windows 8 box, and i thought it may be a bit faster on windows 7 what with the improved javascript and standards compliance, etc.
Anyway after installing/updating (both IE10 and and Flash) on my 64Bit windows 7 box i wen`t to a play a few facebook games (namely Bejeweled and Zuma) and the performance was terrible. The games were lagging really badly to the point where they were allmost unplayable. At first i thought it may be on there end so fired up Fx and no problems.
Has anyone else seen this type of degradation when upadting to IE10 from 9 on 64 Bit windows 7? Iv`e since reverted back to a previous image with IE9 installed, updated flash to the latest and all seems fine. No add-ons installed just TPL from fanboy which i disabled with no difference!
So how are others finding IE10 on windows 7 64Bit? I also have a 32Bit box which i haven`t fired up since the update wen`t live so would like to see if anyone is having any issues with 32Bit as well.
Maybe it`s just me Any ideas?

Feeling well rested we were up early this morning, well before anyone else in our room. The hostel we are staying at has a weird vibe where the workers live at and dominate the place.

Review quote
"I thought my lower back would be my Achilles' heel forever. Foundation training took that thought out of the equation. I feel strong and flexible, and my posture is better than it has ever been. This stuff is just plain good for you."--Matthew McConaughey, actor "I have always been in great shape and take pride in maintaining a certain level of fitness, but in the time I have been working with Peter Park and Eric Goodman, I have reached a new level of endurance, stamina, and strength. The program pushes me without exhausting me, conditions me, and has completely changed the way my body moves and feels."--Derek Fisher, LA Laker and NBA champion "I am fortunate enough to represent some of the world's greatest athletes, and after working with Peter and Eric for the last two years, I am starting to feel as strong as one! The core principles of this book have made me stronger and fitter than I ever imagined possible, and I intend to make them a part of my daily routine for many years to come."--Casey Wasserman, chairman and CEO of Wasserman Media Group

New life for Columbia City Cinema
The former Columbia City Cinema will reopen as Ark Lodge Cinemas early in 2013, says the owner of a new lease, David McRae.
Seattle Times movie critic
The former Columbia City Cinema has a new operator — and a new name.
The building has been closed since May 2011 because of longstanding issues regarding fire safety. Its lease has been taken over by David McRae, who is upgrading the cinema's projection equipment to all-digital and installing new sprinklers and fire alarms.
In honor of the historic building on Rainier Avenue South in which it is located, the theater will be renamed Ark Lodge Cinemas.
McRae, whose parents owned the Cine-Mond theater in Redmond in the 1970s, has a long history in the local movie business and recently has been specializing in transitioning 35mm movie houses to digital equipment. The reopening date for the cinema, he said, depends on working out permits with the city, but is currently Jan. 1.

The phenomenon of overyielding in species-diverse plant communities is mainly attributed to complementary resource use. Vertical niche differentiation belowground might be one potential mechanism for such complementarity. However, most studies that have analysed the diversity/productivity relationship and belowground niche differentiation have done so for fully occupied sites, not very young tree communities that are in the process of occupying belowground space. Here we used a 5–6 year old forest diversity experiment to analyse how fine-root (<2 mm) production in ingrowth cores (0–30 cm) was influenced by tree species identity, as well as the species diversity and richness of tree neighbourhoods. Fine-root production during the first growing season after the installation of ingrowth cores increased slightly with tree species diversity, and four-species combinations produced on average 94.8% more fine-root biomass than monocultures. During the second growing season, fine-root mortality increased with tree species diversity, indicating an increased fine-root turnover in species-rich communities. The initial overyielding was attributable to the response to mixing by the dominant species, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Picea abies, which produced more fine roots in mixtures than could be expected from monocultures. In species-rich neighbourhoods, P. abies allocated more fine roots to the upper soil layer (0–15 cm), whereas P. menziesii produced more fine roots in the deeper layer (15–30 cm) than in species-poor neighbourhoods. Our results indicate that, although there may be no lasting overyielding in the fine-root production of species-diverse tree communities, increasing species diversity can lead to substantial changes in the production, vertical distribution, and turnover of fine roots of individual species.

Author Chris Stewart running for 2nd District seat
SALT LAKE CITY — First-time candidate Chris Stewart said he's running for Congress for the same reason he went into the Air Force.
"I just reached a point where I thought I've got to do something," said Stewart, who served as a pilot in the Air Force for 14 years. "I just thought I had to get in there and join the fight."
The Farmington father of six, now an author and the head of a government consulting firm, is among the Republicans vying for the 2nd District seat now held by the state's only Democrat in Congress, Rep. Jim Matheson.
Matheson has not ruled out running for re-election in his district but is also considering a bid for the state's new 4th District seat as well as a challenge to GOP Gov. Gary Herbert.
Stewart, 51, said that while he has "a lot of respect for Rep. Matheson," a Republican would better reflect the values of voters in the re-drawn district that now includes portions of conservative Davis County.
"I think this district is more fairly represented by a Republican," he said, predicting "a long hard fight. There are other good candidates in the race" for the GOP nomination.
Republicans in the race include former U.S. Senate candidate Cherilyn Eager, former Pentagon official Chuck Williams, and Park City resident Howard Wallack. Several others are eyeing the seat, including Morgan Philpot, who narrowly lost to Matheson in 2010, and state Rep. Dave Clark, R-Santa Clara.
State GOP Chairman Thomas Wright said the party's top priority in 2012 is defeating Matheson. He said the 2nd District race will likely be the most competitive in the state.
"It's not a lay-down district for us. We have to be competitive to win," Wright said. "I think there will be a lot of good choices."
Stewart said he feels good about his chances. He said he has "a network of people, primarily through some of my writing. They know me and they know what I believe. It resonates with them."
His most recent book, "The Miracle of Freedom, Seven Tipping Points That Saved The World," written with his brother, U.S. District Court Judge Ted Stewart, was endorsed by conservative talk show host Glenn Beck and became a bestseller.
He said readers are responding to his message of American exceptionalism. "We still have a special role in the world's future," Stewart said, even though the country still faces challenges.
"We can fix this," he said. "We can have great days ahead of us still."
Stewart said his military background, which included setting a record for the fastest nonstop flight around the world, is key to his campaign.
"I just want to remind people that's one of the fundamental things our national government is supposed to do, provide for our national defense," he said, warning that proposed defense cuts go too far.
"If I go back to Washington, I'm not going to let people take their eye off the ball on our national security," Stewart said.

Utah Utes basketball: Ute recruit Delon Wright could be a top player next year
STANFORD, Calif. — For the second straight game, one of Utah's top players, watched from the stands.
One of Utah's possible future top players, we should say.
Delon Wright, a Utah commit who plays for City College of San Francisco, was on hand for Sunday's loss. The 6-foot-5, 175-pound guard has signed a letter of intent to play for the Utes next fall.
"I'm really excited about coming down and playing for coach K,'' he said as he greeted Ute players after Sunday's game at Maples Pavilion. "I'm really looking forward to it.''
Wright is the younger brother of Philadelphia 76ers guard Dorrell Wright, who has played in the NBA for nine years. He calls himself "a late-bloomer" who wasn't recruited out of high school.
"I just try to play an all-around game,'' the 20-year-old said when asked about the strength of his game. "People tell me I have a high basketball IQ.''
He said he chose Utah over Gonzaga, Washington and Washington State.
"They were recruiting me from the beginning,'' Wright said of Utah. "This was the best fit for me. A lot of minutes might be available for me from the beginning.''
This season, Wright is averaging 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals per game on 51 percent shooting and 48 percent from 3-point range. His team is 28-0 and currently playing in the California Community College Athletic Association postseason tournament and won its first playoff game Saturday night.
STILL NOT 1,000: It's been a long climb for Jason Washburn in his quest to reach the 1,000-point scoring mark for his career.
Washburn needed 12 points to reach 1,000 points heading into Sunday's game. However, he came up short again, scoring 10 points Sunday to stand at 998.
The senior from Michigan started off strong, scoring six of Utah's first eight points, but only scored two points in the second half.
Washburn has scored just 24 points in his last three games after scoring 61 in his previous three. He'll get to 1,000 with his first basket this week against Oregon State.
UTE NOTES: Utah has given up more than 80 points just three times all season, but twice against Stanford . . . Freshman Dakarai Tucker didn't play Sunday because of a leg injury suffered in Thursday's loss to Cal. Freshman Justin Seymour played in his place off the bench . . . This marked Utah's third Sunday game of the season, the first on the road. Earlier, the Utes had played Stanford on Jan. 27 and Arizona Feb. 17 at home in Sunday affairs . . . The Utes return home to play Oregon State Thursday night and Oregon Saturday afternoon . . . Last year, the Utes nearly pulled off a big upset at Stanford, losing just 68-65 and later beat the Cardinal at home . . . Krystkowiak and Stanford coach Johnny Dawkins were teammates on the 1986 San Antonio Spurs.

Peace In The 90210?: "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" wrapped its drama-filled inaugural season last night with the second part of their reunion special and two of the show's feuding ladies appeared to have buried their gold-platted hatchet – at least for now! "[It has been] very difficult. I have a lot of regrets," Camille Grammer told Bravo's Andy Cohen during the reunion. "And, Kyle, I'm so sorry. I feel really awful. I've had a really tough year and it's no excuse." Kyle also offered up a few kind words, but fell short of actually apologizing to Kelsey Grammer's estranged wife. "I regret what's happened between me and Camille. I regret not handling any issues I have with my sister or anger I have towards her better," Kyle said. Bravo, we'd like Season 2 ASAP!
Ryan & Scarlett Reuniting?: Are Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson – who filed for divorce on December 23 – making up? According to Us Weekly, when the duo reunited last week at the hotel Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles for late night drinks, the actress was seen smiling and fighting back tears as they chatted on the patio for an hour. They also reportedly had dinner together at LA's Little Door earlier that night. A source told the mag they "seemed comfortable" together at dinner. We're pulling for this couple to work it out!
Vivica – What Is Going On Here?!: Vivica A. Fox was spotted having a less-than foxy moment at LAX this week – at least now all the bloggers can leave Fergie alone. See what we're talking about, HERE!
Daily Eww!: In more unfortunate news, Jared Leto decided to wear a cow-print poncho (or is it a Snuggie?) out last night at the NYLON party celebrating the mag's February issue in New York City. See the Jared's fashion flub, HERE!
"Saturday Night Live" In A Hot Mess!: "Saturday Night Live" caused a stir with the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) after their commercial spoof for "Estro-Maxx" aired this weekend. In the faux commercial, a handful of the "SNL" male players are seen taking a fake estrogen product and developing breasts during their process of transitioning genders, which did not sit well with GLAAD. See the commercial, HERE! And if you want would like to sign GLAAD's petition telling NBC – (Access Hollywood and NBC share the same parent company, NBC Universal) not to use transgender people as a punch line, CLICK HERE!
