Description The invention relates generally to optical components, and in particular to the methods of fabricating optical elements such as lenses and mirrors and the resulting optical elements fabricated using these methods. More specifically, the invention relates to a process for fabricating an aspheric lens wherein mid- to high-spatial frequency cutting marks are retained in the lens or lens molding tool without adverse impact upon the final performance of the lens in the optical system. Projection, printing, and scanning systems often require the formation of a light distribution that is uniform along a line or over an area. As is well known to those skilled in the optical arts, such a uniform light distribution may be formed via an optical system that comprises lenses that are acylindric (a term used for cylindrical lenses that are aspheric) or other aspherical glass or plastic optical elements. Traditional grinding and polishing or glass molding processes are well suited for forming conventional lens shapes, such as spherical optical surfaces, radially symmetric aspheres, and flat surfaces. These lens fabrication processes typically yield surface roughness on the order of about 0.7 nm RMS. Traditional grinding and polishing procedures are also used for mold preparation, yielding glass-molded or plastic-molded parts that exhibit surface roughness in the same overall range. However, less conventional shapes, such as acylindric shapes, are not as easily fabricated using these traditional grinding and polishing or molding processes. Eliminating or minimizing surface defects of optical components is considered to be of critical importance for many types of imaging and laser applications. Lens surface features generated by cutter marks are classified as mid-spatial frequency errors due to their relative size and pitch, and are acknowledged as a significant problem source for UV, visible, and IR applications. Propagation of wavefront errors due to mid-spatial frequency effects can cause unacceptable intensity modulations, even creating potentially damaging hot spots in the beam path for some types of optical systems. Errors at these frequencies can degrade beam quality beyond acceptability in many types of applications and may even lead to catastrophic system failure in extreme cases. Chief among the problems caused by surface roughness of a lens element or a mirror is unwanted diffraction of light from an unpolished surface. Diffracted orders of light scattered by roughness at the surface interfere with each other as they propagate, forming undesired structures in the light intensity. Because of such effects, an unpolished lens or mirror having periodic surface roughness may be unacceptable for conventional optical applications. As is well known to those skilled in optical fabrication, polishing and finishing techniques for acylindric lenses are considerably more challenging than the techniques required for finishing rotationally symmetric surfaces. Providing precision molded acylindric surfaces with a 0.7 nm RMS roughness typically requires one or more iterative processes. For example, a precision acylindric mold can be fabricated for initial molding of acylindric structures. The acylindric mold is then polished to form the molded element as a finishing step; this final polishing step is generally performed by hand, by a skilled master optician. As is well known to those skilled in optical fabrication, polishing procedures used to achieve the required surface characteristics must be executed with extreme care, lest the original acylindric shape itself be lost. Moreover, any tooling used to figure the acylindric shape may leave process-induced roughness in the optical component. Similar difficulties arise whether the lens is ground and polished in glass, or molded, or fabricated using a combination of molding, figuring, and finishing techniques. Even where satisfactory surface smoothness is achieved, these fabrication complications can cause an optical component to be prohibitively expensive, especially for apparatus in a prototype stage. Conventional lens polishing and finishing techniques, used for spherical and plano surfaces, have been successfully adapted for some types of basic non-axisymmetric shapes such as prisms and cylindrical shapes. However, complex acylindric shapes have proved more difficult to polish, particularly for smaller optical components. Thus, it can be appreciated that there is a need for optical design techniques that enable the effective use of acylindric components and other irregular lens structures, without restrictions imposed by the inherent limitations of conventional lens polishing. There is also a need for methods that allow lower cost fabrication of aspherical and other optical elements, particularly for prototyping and low-volume applications. The present invention is directed to apparatus and methods utilizing acylindrical and other non-axisymmetric lenses, as well as axisymmetric aspherical lenses and other optical elements that have not been precisely polished to remove tooling marks. The present invention provides an optical sub-system, comprising: a) an optical element having a curved surface for differentiating light featured with a plurality of recurring surface tooling marks, wherein the depth of any surface tooling mark is less than 0.2 wavelengths; and b) a spatial filter for blocking the diffracted light and passing undiffracted light. The present invention involves a simplified manufacturing process that is estimated to provide savings on the order of more than 75% on the cost of ground and polished precision glass aspheres as well as similar savings on the cost of low volumes of molded glass or plastic optics. The present invention allows a diffraction-limited optical system to be assembled that includes lens or mirror components that have not been polished in a conventional manner. The above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent when taken in conjunction with the following description and drawings wherein identical reference numerals have been used, where possible, to designate identical features that are common to the figures, and wherein: The present description is directed in particular to elements forming part of, or cooperating more directly with, apparatus in accordance with the invention. It is to be understood that elements not specifically shown or described may take various forms well known to those skilled in the art. As was noted in the background section above, conventional lens fabrication practices require that surface roughness of a molded or tooled lens be treated to provide a finished, smooth surface for light refraction. In contrast to conventional practice, the method of the present invention allows the use of unpolished lenses in illumination apparatus, compensating for periodic surface roughness elsewhere in the optical path by blocking diffracted orders from light that has been transmitted through the unpolished surface. The description that follows is primarily directed to apparatus and method embodiments wherein a lens is the unpolished component having periodic surface roughness. In an alternative embodiment, the unpolished component could be a mirror, as is described subsequently. It is well known that high-frequency surface structure such as a diffraction surface can be formed on the surface of a spherical lens to generate a hybrid refractive-diffractive surface. Such refractive-diffractive lenses enable unique optical designs that are difficult to implement with purely refractive lens elements. Recently, a number of designs have been proposed that contain lenses having an aspheric surface that is also diffractive. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,055,105, entitled �Optical System with Grating Element and Imaging Device using the Same,� issued on Apr. 25, 2000 to K. Boku and S. Ono; U.S. Pat. No. 6,118,594, entitled �Objective Lens for Optical Pick-Up�, issued on Sep. 12, 2000 to K. Maruyama; U.S. Pat. No. 6,515,955, entitled �Objective Optical System for Optical Pick-Up�, issued on Feb. 4, 2003 to S. Takeuchi; and U.S. Pat. No. 6,545,807, entitled �Refractive-Diffractive Hybrid Lens�, issued on Apr. 8, 2003 to K. Maruyama. In each of these disclosures, a high-frequency surface structure is deliberately formed on a curved spherical or aspherical surface. This surface structure significantly changes the optical performance of a refractive optical component by providing diffraction without requiring the use of a separate diffractive optical component. It is instructive to emphasize an important principle: diffractive lenses and gratings are generally designed to shift most of the optical energy from the undiffracted (zeroth order) light to one or more diffracted orders (that is, non-zero orders). Thus, for example, the diffractive surfaces disclosed in patents cited above (Boku et al. '105, Maruyama '807 and '594, and Takeuchi '807) all operate to provide constructive interference that directs a substantial portion of light energy into desired diffracted orders. The deliberate formation of a diffractive surface for providing constructive interference, as indicated in the above-cited patent disclosures, requires high-frequency surface features such as grooves or indentations in order to form the diffraction surface. In most cases, these added features have an amplitude that approximates the size of one wavelength. For an idea of relative scale and range, conventional refractive-diffractive lenses and conventional diffractive lenses employ surface features whose size ranges from a significant fraction of the wavelength, nominally greater than about 0.2 wavelengths in amplitude, to a few wavelengths in amplitude. The dimensions of a diffraction surface or any type of diffraction grating must be in this range in order to provide the intended optical energy distribution, that is, in order to direct a significant portion of the optical energy into one or more diffracted orders. By comparison to diffractive surface features or structures, recurring tooling marks that result from the lens or molding tool fabrication process may cause some small amount of diffraction. However, such tooling marks do not have sufficient amplitude or suitable spacing dimensions to act similarly to diffractive surface features, nor do they direct any significant amount of light energy into diffractive orders. Additionally, as described below, recurring tooling marks direct small amounts of light energy into diffractive orders which are subsequently blocked from the desired optical path. Unlike the diffractive optics described in the above-cited patent disclosures, the optics with tooling marks described herein do not diffract light into the desired optical path. It is important, then, to distinguish a diffraction surface from a surface that is coarsely roughened by tooling marks. The grooves formed by conventional tooling are significantly shallower than would be required for diffractive surface fabrication, with amplitudes typically below 0.1 wavelength, normally ranging from about 0.01 wavelength to no more than about 0.1 wavelength. Thus, it can be seen that while surface roughness effectively forms features on the unpolished lens that invariably cause some amount of diffraction as an unintended consequence, these features would not be suitably sized or arranged to form a usable diffraction surface. Instead, any diffraction inevitably caused by tooling marks has undesirable effects on the light that is refracted by the lens element. The tooling mark surface features need not be periodic (that is, with a pitch P equal across the lens) but can be considered as recurring, with pitch P varying as needed for tooling accuracy. The teaching of the present invention takes a different approach from the conventional surface treatment methods used to minimize or eliminate tooling marks and thereby minimize or eliminate unwanted diffraction effects in the optical path. In one embodiment, a method of the present invention provides an illumination apparatus having an acylindric lens that need not be polished to remove tooling marks. The present invention provides particular advantages with acylindric lenses, since conventional polishing methods are particularly difficult to apply successfully to such non-axisymmetric surfaces, especially where lenses are small in scale. Thus, the present invention eliminates the expense and complexity of polishing small acylindric lenses, or other aspheric lenses, in many applications where such expense and complexity has heretofore prevented the widespread use of such optical components in lower cost illumination apparatus. Significantly, the described embodiments of the present invention allow a diffraction-limited optical system to be fabricated without the cost and complexity of conventional finishing techniques. Fabrication of the Lens Mold In order to better appreciate the exemplary embodiments of the present invention, it is instructive to review how a mold for an acylindric lens, or other non-axisymmetric lens type, is formed. The following discussion is not meant to be limiting, as additional methods are well known to those skilled in the art, where a variety of tooling processes are known for the molding of both glass and plastic optics. A glass molding tool is typically fabricated using a raster cut approach, with the acylindric profile, or other suitable profile, contour ground. As part of this contour grinding process, the grinding wheel makes an initial cut to form a basic acylindric profile. In the subsequent grinding cycle, the grinding wheel cuts and is repeatedly step-indexed, in the non-power direction of the lens, thus making each subsequent cut adjacent and generally parallel to the previous cut. This process repeats across the entire tool surface until the mold structure is fabricated. Referring to In practice, the spatial period of the raster-cut surface roughness, pitch P in Following grinding procedures that form glass molding tool 10, the molding tool surface can be characterized and checked using a variety of contacting and non-contacting methods. A three-dimensional surface structure can be obtained via raster scanning, for example, by using a profilometer. Lens Molding and Preparation Prior to use for molding lenses, the molding tool 10 is treated with an appropriate release coating to be used for the manufacture of glass or plastic articles. The molding tool 10 is typically used with an appropriately shaped glass, or plastic perform, or gob to mold the finished acylindric lens. The resulting molded lens element, when released from the molding tool 10, has surface features corresponding to cuts 12 in the molding tool 10. In conventional practice for the molding of a glass lens, the lens that is removed from the molding tool 10 would be polished to remove any unwanted surface features. However, the present invention departs from conventional practice and uses the unpolished, molded lens in an optical apparatus for providing linear illumination, providing compensation for undesirable diffractive effects of the rough lens surface elsewhere in the optical system, as described in the following section. Linear Illumination Apparatus Referring to By comparison with the idealized behavior shown in Referring to Referring back to Using slit aperture 24, unwanted diffracted orders of light are absorbed or reflected and not passed through to the remainder of the optical system. The beam passing through slit aperture 24 should, preferably, behave like a diffraction limited Gaussian beam (when considered orthogonally to the line of light formed) without satellite beams, tails, or rings. A focusing lens, of cylindrical shape and having curvature along direction N ( Optimization For optimization of illumination apparatus 20 or 40, the periodicity of the surface roughness from tooling marks 56 can be designed to provide the desired angular distribution and amount of diffracted light. In this way, diffracted light can be directed further from aperture slit 24, to improve the separation of this light from the zeroth order light. Roughness amplitude can be optimized to reduce the diffracted power while facilitating single pass raster cutting of the mold tool. In practice, the spatial period of the raster-cut surface roughness (corresponding to pitch P in Experimental data show that a 50 micron tooling pitch P ( Optimization of the shape of acylindric lens 22 may be an important factor. For acylindric lens 22 to provide the linear illumination having output characteristics shown in An example curvature polynomial for acylindric lens 22, through the 14th order variable, is as follows:
Experience has shown that fabrication of acylindric lens 22 with truncation of the polynomial at 10th, 14th, 18th, 22nd, and subsequent orders at intervals of +4 is advantaged. Using truncation at any of these terms causes the edge of acylindric lens 22 to curve in the same direction as the curvature at the center of the lens. This truncation, then, yields favorable behavior similar to that shown in While the method of the present invention is particularly advantaged for providing an illumination beam where acylindric lenses are used in illumination apparatus, the present invention can be used for other types of lenses as well, including aspheric lenses. The method of the present invention could alternatively be used with lenses having toric shape. A toric lens, for example, would have power along both M and N axes in Reflective Components As is indicated above, the method and apparatus of the present invention are directed generally to the use of unpolished optical elements, a broad category that also includes mirrors. Referring to Image Forming Apparatus Considering the green color channel for detailed description, a light source 70 g, typically a laser, directs light to an acylindric lens 72 g that expands the beam in the manner described with respect to acylindric lens 22 in Red and blue color channels operate in similar fashion, with their respective light sources 70 r, 70 b, acylindric lenses 72 r, 72 b; cylindrical lenses 74 r, 74 b; linear arrays 85 r, 85 b; turning mirrors 82 r, 82 b; and stops 83 r, 83 b. Similarly, color combining prism 100 directs modulated light from each of the color channels toward scanning component 77. The present invention can be used with other types of image forming apparatus in addition to the display apparatus 120 shown in In the patterning apparatus 116 of Unlike a diffraction surface that is formed on a lens surface to provide optical energy in one or more diffracted orders, as disclosed in Boku et al. '105, Maruyama '807 and '594, and Takeuchi '807 patents cited above, the tooled, unfinished surface that is used with lenses in the present invention provides the bulk of optical energy in the undiffracted zeroth order, with only a small fraction of optical energy in diffracted orders. By blocking unwanted diffracted orders from light that is refracted by these lenses, the apparatus and method of the present invention obviate the need for polishing and finishing treatments, allowing the fabrication of diffraction-limited optical systems employing lenses that would be conventionally considered as unfinished. The invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment. However, it will be appreciated that variations and modifications can be effected by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the scope of the invention. For example, the illumination apparatus of the present invention can be used with optical apparatuses other than a display apparatus, including scanner, printing, and patterning apparatuses. The method of the present invention can be employed with a variety of lens shapes, including acylindrical, toric, and various aspherical lens shapes and can be used with a variety of mirror shapes as well. An unfinished lens may be formed by molding processes, as is described hereinabove, or may be separately tooled, such as in a prototype application. Tooling marks would be present on the unfinished lens in either case. An apparatus using an optical element of the present invention could form a full-color image, using multiple light sources as are shown in

An FYI regarding the Red Wings' training camp by-fax ticket sales
by George Malik on 07/14/13 at 05:03 PM ET
Comments (2)
From the official Twitter account of the Red Wings' developmental camp, prospect tournament and main training camp at Centre Ice Arena:
Why fax sales? I'll quote the director of Wings activities on this one: "We don't want people who don't have technology to be left out." And yes, there are tons of people who've been going to camp forever who are not yet in the internet age. So the theory is that including everybody is worth being a pain in the butt on occasion, and I tend to agree with that theory.

Audio from day 4 of the Red Wings' development camp (and Darren Helm news)

The Red Wings switched things up BIG TIME today, holding a 50-minute set of skill development drills for Team Yzerman from 8-8:50, a 50-minute set of skill development drills for Team Lidstrom from about 10:20-11:10, and in between, ALL 30-something players who were participating in today's drills took part in a practice ran by Grand Rapids Griffins coach Jeff Blashill.
The schedule for tomorrow--the development camp's final day--reads as follows, per the Left Wing Lock's Sarah Lindenau:
July 15
8:30 am – 10:15 am Team Lidstrom practice (Admission $5)8:30 am – 9:45 am Team Yzerman off-ice workout
10:30 am – 12:15 pm Team Yzerman practice
10:45 am – 11:30 am Team Lidstrom off-ice practice
Amongst the highlights of today's drills and practice:

Red Wings morning report: on the long journey
by George Malik on 07/14/13 at 06:27 AM ET
Comments (7)
As noted in the early overnight report, Red Wings GM Ken Holland spoke with both Red Wings TV and the Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness about the long, long (emphasis on "long") road ahead of even the process that the vast majority of the prospects taking part in the Wings' summer development camp face, and this morning, MLive's Brendan Savage picks up that conversation:
"I've been in the game since 1975, pro hockey," Holland said. "I come and go to these camps. There's a lot of excitement. I know how hard it is to play in the National Hockey League. And how much work and where you've got to get these players. A lot of these players are coming along in a nice progression. We need more progression. Part of it is patience, part of it is maturity, part of it is going to next level and performing at the next level. "
The point of the summer development camp is to both prepare some prospects for the system of play they'll have to master heading into the prospect tournament (where AHL jobs and spots in the pecking order really will be on the line) and main training camp, and to provide as much information as possible to the players regarding the on and off-ice skills that they need to develop to become professional hockey players, and in some instances, to become better professionals.

Red Wings early overnight report: 'off-day' prospect talk, Wings camp video, Weiss and the WingEast

While I was sleeping in after penning last night's post-scrimmage entry, MLive's Brendan Savage penned updates regarding Joakim Andersson, Gustav Nyquist and the exit of Damien Brunner, and the Red Wings' prospects, who will be taking part in morning practice sessions only on Sunday, spent their only "off-day" playing paintball and touring Camp Grayling:

This has to be the dumbest thing I've read this month. CSKA Moscow GM and former Red Wing Sergei Fedorov just hired an American-born coach in John Torchetti to helm the team, but The Score reports that Fedorov engaged in some typical summertime KHL bombast while speaking with Sovetsky Sport, made a downright stupid (and I don't like to use the term "stupid" very often) [edit: let's say spurious instead] comment. The Toronto Star's Rick Westhead took note of it:
Hint: when someone says they're not trying to stir shit up, they're trying to stir shit up. Datsyuk told Championat's Sergey Gavrilov that even if he had the opportunity to choose between returning to the Ak Bars Kazan or playing for the Red Wings, he would have re-signed with Detroit, and that he's happy to be staying in Detroit for the next four years.

MLive's Savage updates statuses of Nyquist, Andersson and soon-to-be-Devil(?) Brunner

Updated w/ more Cleary/Nyquist/Andersson talk, and Paul noted the Brunner scuttlebutt as well: I kind of collapsed last night, so I apologize for the lateness of these updates:
MLive's Brendan Savage spoke to Red Wings GM Ken Holland about the statuses of restricted free agents Gustav Nyquist and Joakim Andersson, and Holland told Savage that he hasn't begun negotiations with either player yet (as he told me on Thursday, he's not concerned about Brendan Smith filing for arbitration), but he is confident that deals will be worked out with both...

Sunday's Red Wings development camp on-ice sessions will take place in the morning—for both teams
by George Malik on 07/13/13 at 05:29 PM ET
Comments (0)
The Red Wings' summer development camp's schedule has changed for Sunday, with both teams skating in the morning:
8-8:45 AM: Team Yzerman: Tomas Storm Skills Development/Andy Weidenbach Power Skating
9-9:50 AM: Practice for both Team Yzerman and Team Lidstrom
10-10:50 AM: Team Lidstrom: Tomas Storm Skills Development/Andy Weidenbach Power Skating
I'm trying to get clarification as to whether both Team Yzerman and Team Lidstrom will practice at the Huntington (west) rink, or whether they'll be practicing on the Huntington Rink and David's Rink simultaneously.

Impressions from the scrimmage at the Red Wings' summer development camp a.k.a. overnight report
by George Malik on 07/13/13 at 01:45 AM ET
Comments (6)
In front of jam-packed stands and a suite overflowing with Red Wings amateur scouts, the Wings' coach, the Grand Rapids Griffins' coach, and Ken Holland, Kris Draper, Ryan Martin and Jiri Fischer, the Wings' prospects finally got to tangle with each other in a game situation.
It wasn't exactly three periods' worth of hockey--two 30-minute periods, with a running-down clock for the first "half," and the players taking part in "power play" and "penalty-killing" situations for 4-minute stretches during the first minute of the second half. There was one penalty--a high sticking call against Zach Nastasiuk--which resulted in a penalty shot(!) Xavier Ouellet was unable to convert upon (against Jake Paterson), and Tyler Bertuzzi was rocked by Martin Frk and Ferris State University defenseman Jason Binkley, who, alongside Simon Denis, were brought in to--wait for it--Nick Jensen.

I apologize for the lateness of this post, but I had some social obligations to take care (stop laughing...I have a life...sort of...), and as such, I ended up spending about 90 minutes hanging out with pals spending the night at Centre Ice Arena to snag training camp tickets (they go
MLive's Brendan Savage has already penned a recap of an event which was absolutely dominated by the play of Martin Frk, Anthony Mantha, their rotating third linemate (sometimes Zach Nastasiuk, sometimes Dean Chelios), the stellar defensive pair of Ryan Sproul and Richard Nedomlel, and the superb goaltending displayed by Jake Paterson, whose "white" team beat the "red" team 6-1.
Frk scored two goals and was credited with two assists, but if the scorekeeper was better-acquainted with the roster, Frk may have had a 5-point night:

Updated 3x with free agent blather at 12:51 PM: Amongst the Red Wings-related news that popped up this morning (and ahead of the Wings' development camp scrimmage, which takes place at 5 PM today at Centre Ice Arena): While speaking with Ken Holland regarding the Wings' scouting appointments, MLive's Brendan Savage inquired as to the progress of one Darren Helm, and Holland very politely said the equivalent of, "He's doing okay, but it's only been two days":
"Looking at the sixth-month history, for the last two days he's done fine," said general manager Ken Holland. "The first day, we had a full practice, which was 50 minutes. (Thursday), was an hour and 50 and he did half of it. When they had to flood the ice, he came off. We're bringing him along slowly. He's been out for six months. We don't want any setbacks. He hasn't skated for two months. He's not going to play (today). I think if we had a week of practice, maybe he would have played in the scrimmage."

Advisory Opinion No. 90-16: | Application of the lifetime bar proscriptions of §73(8) of the Public Officers Law to a former State employee who served as Counsel and Deputy Commissioner to [Agency A] and served as a designee of the Commissioner of [Agency A] to [Agency B] and who is now representing a client before [Agency B]. |
Pursuant to the authority vested in the New York State Ethics Commission ("Commission") by §94(15) of the Executive Law, the Commission hereby renders its opinion that the lifetime bar, set forth in §73(8), does not apply in the instant case because the matter before the State agency is not a case, proceeding, application or transaction with respect to which the requesting individual was directly concerned and in which he personally participated during the period of his service, nor was the matter under his active consideration during that time. Absent a clear showing that the matter which is currently being presented to the State agency is the same case, proceeding, application or transaction in which this individual personally participated and was directly concerned or actively considered while in State service, the lifetime bar restrictions contained in §73(8) of the Public Officers Law do not apply.
[Agency B] has its basic purpose [ ] prescribed by law. In carrying out this [ ] purpose, [Agency B] issues permits which control the development of [ ] land.
In 1981, an investment group called the [investment group] presented a project application to [Agency B] to develop certain property [ ]. The project application was considered by the Operations Committee, a subcommittee of [Agency B] which has been delegated authority by the [Agency B] Executive Committee to issue a permit for a project without the input of the Commission.5 If the proposed project is "substantial" in nature, either in terms of size, impact or expense, the [Agency B] Executive Committee reviews the recommendation of the Operations Committee and votes on the issuance of the permit, but only after review and recommendation of the Operations Committee. The project application by the [investment group] was substantial. The Operations Committee reviewed it in early March, 1981, and subsequently issued its recommendation to the [Agency B] Executive Committee concerning the issuance of the permit, which contained certain restrictive covenants which run with the land [ ]. The [Agency B] Executive Committee voted favorably on the recommendation to approve the issuance of the permit which included the restrictive covenant at issue.
The individual, in his capacity as a designee of the Commissioner of [Agency A], attended two of the [Agency B] Executive Committee meetings during which a vote was taken with regard to the project application put forth by the [investment group]. The records of those meetings neither indicate that he voted on this matter at all nor that he participated in any discussions, but only that he was present at the meetings. In addition to this individual, the [Agency A] Commissioner had named another employee to serve as an official designee to the [Agency B] Executive Committee. This other employee was also present at the meetings at which votes were taken on the [investment group] proposal. This employee, however, also served on the Operations Committee. The record of the Operations Committee meetings and the [Agency B] Executive Committee meeting indicate that the other employee was actively involved in consideration of the [investment group] permit application. Traditionally, according to this individual and the requesting former employee, the designee of the [Agency A] Commissioner who was more knowledgeable on a particular matter would be the one to discuss the matter with the [Agency B] Executive Committee and cast a vote on behalf of the [Agency A] Commissioner at the [Agency B] Executive Committee meeting where that matter would arise, without regard to the rank or seniority of the designated employee.6
In 1983, the [investment group] decided to withdraw from the proposed development and requested the return of certain securities it had posted with [Agency B] in 1981. [Agency B] returned the securities and cancelled the permit to develop the land which it had issued then. At the same time, in conjunction with the agreement to allow the withdrawal of the securities and cancellation of the permit, [Agency B] executed a written agreement with the [investment group], indicating that all proposed development was to cease and that restrictions on certain kinds of development of the land affected by the cancelled permit, the restrictive covenants which had first appeared in the permit issued in 1981, were to continue in perpetuity as to any person or entity which might acquire the subject property from [the investment group]. The original agreement which accompanied the permit was nullified. [Agency B] and [the investment group] then executed a new agreement which included the restrictive covenant which was a part of the 1981 agreement, as well as certain other provisions which were not a part of the 1981 agreement.7
In 1988, the [second investment group], which is unrelated to the [investment group], acquired the property on which the [investment group] had planned its 1981 development. The property had been taken from the [investment group] by the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC") in relation to a bankruptcy proceeding. The [second investment group] purchased the property from the FSLIC.
The outstanding claim is that the former State employee, who left State service approximately nine years ago, was involved with the original [investment group] permit and the restrictive covenant imposed in 1981 in his capacity as a designee of the [Agency A] Commissioner to [Agency B], and that such involvement triggers the application of the lifetime bar to preclude his current activities with respect to [the second investment group].9 Specifically, the claim is the following:
If [the former employee] continues as advocate for the [second investment group] he will be advocating to his former [Agency B] peers a legal position in derogation of the Advice and Recommendations on which he voted and the all-critical covenant imposed pursuant to the Permit and the Advice and Recommendations. Whether he now recalls the covenant or how it was created, and whether he now recalls any personal involvement with the covenant is irrelevant. The standard embodied in Section 73(8) of the Public Officers Law is whether [the former employee] is appearing before [Agency B] in relation to a case, proceeding, application or transaction with which he was directly concerned and in which he personally participated while a voting designee. His appearance is most certainly "in relation to" the [investment group]'s project which spawned the critical covenant, on which he voted twice. And it would be unfair to [the public interest group] and others who will advocate a literal interpretation of that covenant for [the former employee], as the attorney for the [second investment group], to advocate any interpretation at all, given his prior involvement.10The lifetime bar, which is found in §73(8) of the Public Officers Law, applies to certain post-employment activities of former State employees, states:
No person who has served as a state officer or employee shall after the termination of such service or employment appear, practice, communicate or otherwise render services before any state agency or receive compensation for any such services rendered by such former officer or employee on behalf of any person, firm, corporation or other entity in relation to any case, proceeding, application or transaction with respect to which such person was directly concerned and in which he personally participated during the period of his service or employment, or which was under his or her active consideration . . .
In this particular case, the Commission has determined that the other [Agency A] employee was involved in reviewing the 1981 permit application and in deciding issues relating to the restrictive covenant at issue as part of his duties on the Operations Subcommittee. This other [Agency A] employee, who was the other designee of the Commissioner at the time, and the requesting individual, both confirmed to the Commission that the established practice between the two [Agency A] designees, when application reviews were presented to the full Commission, was to allow the more knowledgeable person to discuss the matter presented to the [Agency B] Executive Committee at the [Agency B] Executive Committee meeting and vote on behalf of the [Agency A] Commissioner. Two days prior to the [Agency B] Executive Committee meeting, the [Agency A] senior staff would meet with the designees to discuss the agenda for the [Agency B] Executive Committee meeting if the agenda for the upcoming meeting involved [Agency A] policy issues or potential conflicts concerning matters under [Agency A] jurisdiction. The staff would decide the Commissioner's vote and would direct that the designees cast the vote for the Commissioner accordingly. With rare exception, the vote was cast as had been discussed with senior staff and the Commissioner. The [Agency A] staff did not review or discuss permit applications concerning development projects unless an [Agency A] policy issue was involved. According to the interviews and documentation received, the [investment group] permit application was not an exceptional case, and the vote on the application was cast by the other [Agency A] employee. In this case, the other [Agency A] employee, who concurrently sat on the Operations Committee and actively participated in and was directly concerned with the decision of the instant permit. He, and not the individual who is the subject of this Opinion, cast the votes on behalf of the Commissioner at the Executive Committee level because of his special interest and knowledge concerning the issue and his position on the Operations Committee.
In the instant case, interviews with [Agency B] Commissioners then serving and the minutes of the [Agency B] meetings confirm that the other [Agency A] employee voted on the [investment group] application. There was one instance in which this other employee to whom the Commissioner had delegated responsibility for this particular matter was not present when the [Agency B] Executive Committee voted on the "Advice and Recommendation" of the Operations Committee concerning the permit application amendment in 1981. The record of that meeting does not show that a vote was cast on the instant permit by the individual who is the subject of this inquiry. He has stated that he did not discuss the matter with the [Agency B] Executive Committee and did not involve himself in any aspect of the permit approval. In addition, it is clear that the [Agency A] employee who sat on the Operations Committee did all of the work relative to the [investment group] permit and any restrictive covenants contained therein. There is no evidence in the record that the individual, who is the subject of this Opinion and who is currently representing [second investment group] was directly concerned with and personally participated in any application or transaction relating to the restrictive covenant, nor is there a scintilla of evidence that this particular matter was ever under his active consideration.11
The records of the actions taken by the subcommittee and the [Agency B] Executive Committee reflect that all votes on the [investment group] permit were unanimous and were not subject to specific discussion concerning the restrictive covenant at [Agency B] Executive Committee level. Mere presence in a room, without any evidence of substantive involvement or participation, is not either direct concern and participation or active consideration of a matter in relation to a transaction, case, application or proceeding and does not establish facts which trigger the lifetime bar.
The claim, which raised this lifetime bar issue, is that the restrictive covenant which was imposed by [Agency B] in 1981 and which will be a topic of discussion between [Agency B] and the [second investment group] represented by the former State employee, was a matter considered by [Agency B] while the former employee was acting as an [Agency B] Executive Committee member and should constitute the same transaction for the purposes of the lifetime bar.
In order for a former State employee to be subject to the restrictions contained in the lifetime bar, he must appear, practice, communicate or otherwise render services before any State agency or receive compensation for any such services rendered on behalf of a client in relation to a specific case, proceeding, application or transaction with respect to which he was directly concerned and in which he personally participated while in State service, or which was under his active consideration. In the instant case, the facts are clear that the former State employee is appearing before [Agency B] in relation to an application for a project permit on behalf of his client, the [second investment group]. There was no application by the [second investment group] to [Agency B] while the former employee was the [Agency A] designee to [Agency B]. The Commission does not regard this application as the same case, transaction, proceeding or application at that which was considered by the [Agency B] Executive Committee in 1981. It is a different and new application by a different entity. The instant permit involved in this new application, as earlier stated, was not one in which the former employee was directly concerned and personally participated, nor did he have it under his active consideration at that time. Therefore, the lifetime bar could not apply, in any event, to the representation of the [second investment group] by this former [Agency A] employee.
The lifetime bar is an extraordinary limitation imposed to restrict former employees from using specific inside knowledge about a case, proceeding, application or transaction at any time, and before any State agency, forever. In order to trigger this limitation, the individual must have participated in and been directly concerned with the same transaction, or must have had the same matter under his active consideration. The statutory language clearly evidences legislative intent that mere acquaintance with or knowledge of a fact or circumstance is insufficient to trigger the lifetime bar. More is needed--active involvement in the nature of both personal participation and direct concern or active consideration of the issue. The Commission finds, based upon a thorough investigation of the facts, that the instant case does not evidence involvement by the former State employee which rises to the level of direct concern and personal participation or active consideration necessary to sustain a finding that the individual should be subject to the lifetime bar, and as previously stated, the case, application, proceeding or transaction is not the same as that which existed with the [investment group] in 1981.
The Commission, therefore, finds that the former State employee is not subject to the lifetime bar with regard to his representation of the [second investment group] in the application currently pending before [Agency B]. The former employee's representation of the [second investment group] does not constitute a prohibited appearance pursuant to §73(8) of the Public Officers Law. The former State employee was not directly concerned with nor did he personally participate in the disposition of the restrictive covenant in 1981, and the covenant was not under his active consideration, nor is the current application the same case, application, proceeding or transaction, thus, the lifetime bar does not apply.
This opinion, until and unless amended or revoked, is binding on the Commission in any subsequent proceeding concerning the person who requested it and acted in good faith unless material facts were omitted or misstated in the request for opinion.
All concur:
Elizabeth D. Moore, Chair
Angelo A. Costanza
Norman Lamm, Members
Dated: August 22, 1990
1. This Advisory Opinion is also issued in response to a complaint filed by an
individual, in which it is alleged that the former State employee is violating
§73(8) of the Public Officers Law. The conclusions of this Advisory Opinion
also respond to that complaint.
2. The Opinion concerns the application of the post-employment restrictions in §73(8) of the Public Officers Law to a former State
employee who is beyond the two-year period during which certain compensated
practice or appearances before the former employing State agency are limited, but
who is still subject to the lifetime bar with respect to matters in which he was directly
concerned and in which he personally participated, or which were under his active
consideration during his service with the State.
The application of the "revolving door" provision of the Public Officers Law to
employees who left State service prior to January 1, 1989, was challenged in two
separate suits against the Commission, and in each, the New York Court of Appeals
held that the application of the provisions to officers and employees who terminated
from State service before January 1, 1989, as to acts engaged in on or after the
effective date of §73(8) is constitutional. See Forti v. NYS Ethics
Commission and Kuttner v. Cuomo, 75 N.Y.2d 596 (1990).
3. This inquiry only concerns the former employee's
actions while employed at [Agency A] and not with any acts which occurred during
his employment with [Agency B], where he had served previously as Executive
Director until 1979.
4. Pursuant to law, the Commissioner of [Agency A] is
designated as one of the members of the [Agency B]. The Commissioner is permitted
to designate a representative or representatives to act on his behalf, if he so chooses,
who may vote in his absence.
5. The Operations Committee consists of members of
the Executive Committee of [Agency B], who work with members of the staff of
[Agency B] on project and permit reviews. Much of the work is routine and does not
require the involvement of the Executive Committee. The Operations Committee
reviews the project and permit applications and prepares summaries and
recommendations which are submitted to the Executive Committee for a vote during
their regular meeting. [Agency B] receives an average of eight applications for
permits per month which must be reviewed by the full Commission. Other
applications, which are received, may be routinely processed without Executive
Committee approval or input.
6. This information was gathered from several Ethics
Commission staff interviews with the employee and from minutes of [Agency B]
Executive Committee meetings.
7. The former State employee was not a State
employee in 1983 and had no involvement in the 1983 agreement.
8. The restrictive covenant is contained in a document
entitled, "Declaration of Restrictions By [investment group] as to Certain of its

By the early 1890s, the Pinkerton National Detective Agency employed more agents than there were members of the standing army of the United States of America.
During the labor strikes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, businessmen hired the Pinkerton Agency to infiltrate unions, supply guards, keep strikers and suspected unionists out of factories, as well as recruiting goon squads to intimidate workers. One such confrontation was the Homestead Strike of 1892, in which Pinkerton agents were called in to reinforce the strikebreaking measures of industrialist Henry Clay Frick, acting on behalf of Andrew Carnegie.[citation needed] The ensuing battle between Pinkerton agents and striking workers led to the deaths of seven Pinkerton agents and nine steelworkers.[4] The Pinkertons were also used as guards in coal, iron, and lumber disputes in Illinois, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia as well as the Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and the Battle of Blair Mountain in 1921. The organization was pejoratively called the "Pinks" by its opponents.

We spent during the year ending March 3ist, Ł2696 millions against Ł2198 millions in the previous year, an increase of close upon Ł500 millions ; Ł63 millions of this increase were due to interest on war debt, the rest of it was due to increased cost of the war, and few business men will deny that very many of these extra millions might have been saved if our rulers and our bureaucratic tyrants had been imbued with any real sense of the need for conserving the energy of the nation.

Can we be equally confident that much has been done by the Government to carry out the advice that has been given by this Committee ?

Veteran fullback added with Hynoski sidelined Aaron Wilson
The New York Giants have agreed to a two-year contract with veteran fullback John Conner, according to league sources.
The deal comes one day after Conner worked out for the Buffalo Bills.
The Giants were in need of a strong lead blocker after losing starting fullback Henry Hynoski to a fractured shoulder during a 38-0 loss to the Carolina Panthers.
The 5-foot-11, 245-pounder last played for the Cincinnati Bengals where he appeared to outperform converted tight end Orson Charles during a training camp competition but was beaten out for the starting job and was released.
Conner is a former New York Jets starting fullback who was selected in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft out of Kentucky.
Nicknamed "The Terminator," Conner has rushed for 88 career yards and two touchdowns on 21 carries.
Conner walked on at Kentucky before earning a scholarship.
