Newspaper industry rejects cross-party proposals to regulate the Press Unveils alternative plans for tough new watchdog which PM will consider Will have strong investigative powers and right to impose fines up to 1m
By James Chapman
PUBLISHED: 17:43 EST, 25 April 2013 | UPDATED: 18:45 EST, 25 April 2013
The newspaper industry has flatly rejected cross-party proposals to regulate Britains 300-year-old free Press, unveiling alternative plans for a tough new watchdog which David Cameron said yesterday he was very happy to consider.
It will mean a new independent regulator having strong investigative powers and the right to impose fines of up to 1million for wrongdoing, up-front corrections, inaccuracies corrected fully and prominently, and independence from the industry and politicians.
After weeks of uncertainty, major publishers said they would not sign up to the Royal Charter agreed by politicians and the Hacked Off lobby group over 2am takeaway pizzas in Labour leader Ed Milibands office last month.
That agreement gives the Government the power to interfere in Press regulation.
The newspaper and magazine industry have published a draft alternative charter, which will be put to the Privy Council. Many other professions have applied for their own Royal Charter in the past, including accountants and surveyors.
All four industry bodies, including the Newspaper Society, which represents national and local titles, backed the plan.
In a statement co-ordinated by the Newspaper Society, they said the Royal Charter published by the Government on March 18 had been condemned by a range of international media freedom organisations and enjoyed no support within the Press.

BACKGROUND
Freedom Farms Cafe and Carry-Out has a limited menu of made-to-order items, but the takeout options are nearly limitless.
The cafe opened a year ago along Route 56 in Allegheny Township in the small building that formerly housed J.D.'s Roadhouse and Hessom's Restaurant.
The cafe originally was called The Market at New Kensington, but two factors prompted the owners to change the name last fall.
Sales manager Amanda Noah said they wanted cafe customers to make the connection with Freedom Farms, the family-owned Butler County farm featured on the national television show Farm Kings. The reality show, which airs at 9 p.m. Thursdays on the Great American Country channel, features the King family's efforts to expand their farming business and the public's appreciation for locally raised food.
Noah said they also weren't familiar with the area or the sensitivity of Alle-Kiski Valley locals who protested the cafe's reference to New Kensington, technically located several miles away despite the building's 15068 ZIP code.
We felt this new name better reflected our business, Noah said.
And it does sandwiches and soups are served fresh from chef Dale Miller, while the rest of the store is filled with an array of takeout options. Coolers are full of pre-made wraps, salads and soups. Plus, there is plenty of produce, breads, eggs, meats, cheeses and ready-to-bake pastries.
Freedom Farms Cafe & Carry-Out gives diners the option of stopping by for a freshly made lunch, taking home pre-made food for dinner and grabbing some groceries for the rest of the week.

Does social media mean press freedom is now for everyone?
The theme for this years UNESCO World Press Freedom Day on May 3, Safe to speak: Securing freedom of expression in all media, broadens the debate. It opens the way for an exploration of the libertarian origins of press freedom and the advent of social media and citizen journalism at a time when we are looking for new models of media responsibility and ethics beyond a social responsibility model some of which embrace cultural and religious notions of truth and story-telling.

OLD LYME, CT (WFSB) -
Cleanup continues as beaches along the shoreline including Hammonasset State Park are about a month away from their planned opening Memorial Day weekend.
After the damage left by Superstorm Sandy and Blizzard Charlotte, crews were busy Thursday and officials with the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) were hoping for bond money to make long-term investments in the parks.
DEEP Crews actually started their cleanup way before the snow was even starting to melt because of the damage left by the storms.
"It's a lot of work, a lot of cleanup people have to do," said Falynn Bristol, of Clinton. "It's a shame."
Debris was pushed into huge piles that are sitting in giant empty parking lots waiting for the chippers.
"I live in Westbrook which is a shoreline town as well," said Kim Bennett, of Westbrook. "Our beach has suffered. It's hard to see but obviously they have a lot of work to do."
On Friday, the state bond commission will consider a $1.7 million request to repair storm damaged facilities at Hammonasset State Park as well as to the state's marine district headquarters in Old Lyme.
As for rebuilding the boardwalk in Madison, that's not in the plans, and neither is putting more sand back on West Beach at Hammonasset.
However, future improvements were on the drawing board.

Overview
The aerospace and defense industry found its largest base in the U.S. with a military budget fittingly impressive. The country's global leadership position requires it to maintain the capacity to respond to the ever-changing national security environment. But unlike many other countries, the U.S. relies on the private sector to meet its defense needs.
The U.S. Army, Air, and Naval forces enter into long-term contracts with aerospace and defense companies to meet their various needs for systems and equipment. As such, the outlook for the industry is closely tied to the outlook for defense spending by the U.S. government.
Earlier this month, the Obama administration proposed defense budget for FY14 of $526.6 billion, down $0.9 billion from the FY13 annualized continuing resolution level of $527.5 billion. However, the FY14 request does not yet include a detailed budget for Overseas Contingency Operations ("OCO"), which is essentially government-speak for foreign wars and war on terror operations. The government is preparing a separate OCO request that is expected to be released soon.
Under the continuing resolution, OCO funding for FY13 is $88 billion. This is lower than the $115 billion enacted for FY12 OCO activities as a result of reduced operations in Afghanistan and conclusion of operations in Iraq. Going forward, OCO funding is expected to continue to decline as troops redeploy out of Afghanistan. In fact, the request for future OCO funding will likely be closely correlated to the amount of troops required for each operation.
Budget Issues - the Sequester
The budget sequester that went into effect at the start of March 2013 and that has a direct bearing on the U.S. government's defense spending is a function of the country's fiscal and economic challenges.
As a background, Congress passed the Budget Control Act of 2011 in order to resolve the debt-ceiling crisis. The Act provided for a Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction known as the super committee to produce legislation by late Nov 2012 that would decrease deficit by $1.2 trillion over ten years.
However, Congress failed to reach an agreement. This would have led to automatic cuts known as sequestrations, split evenly between defense and domestic spending, beginning on Jan 2, 2013. However, the 'Fiscal Cliff' was averted at the last moment and the date was postponed by two months by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012.
But it finally took effect last month. The cuts as a result of the budget sequester are evenly between the defense and non-defense categories. The spending reductions are approximately $85.4 billion during fiscal year 2013, with similar cuts for years 2014 through 2021.

April 25, 2013, ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS The Rockford Area Aerospace Network (RAAN), a committee of the Rockford Area Economic Development Council (RAEDC), has just returned from successful participation in Aviation Weeks annual MRO Americas Conference and Exhibition. The conference, which took place April 16 18 in Atlanta, Ga., is the largest gathering of MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) professionals worldwide.
Participating in the event allowed RAAN and its members to connect with industry professionals and promote the Rockford regions key assets that specifically support commercial and cargo aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul operations. Attracting a large MRO facility to the Rockford region would create hundreds of high-paying jobs for skilled workers and would help spur additional economic growth and investment in the Chicago Rockford International Airports (RFD) surrounding business parks. A large MRO facility could also help boost the UPS and international cargo activity at RFD, which would result in additional job creation and economic growth.
The main goals for RAAN at the convention were to identify opportunities for Rockford Area companies to grow their business through matchmaking and identify companies that can expand their business into the Rockford area.
MRO Show Outcomes:
I am pleased with the outcome of the show. We had several conversations with companies ready to expand in the Midwest and our region is on their radar, said Eric Voyles, RAEDC Vice President of National Business Development. People are starting to recognize Rockford as an aerospace hot spot its very exciting.
Participating in the event also gives RAAN members an opportunity to grow their business and secure new leads. Regional companies that exhibited with RAAN were Ingenium Technologies, Chicago Rockford International Airport and Midwest Aero Support, Inc. Individually, Chem Processing, B/E Aerospace, GE Aviation, Esterline, UTAS, Woodward and Emery Air also participated as exhibitors.
The Rockford Region is one of the largest epicenters of aerospace activity in the country, home to more than 200 suppliers. There are more than 90 aerospace suppliers in the Rockford metropolitan area alone. The region leads the state in aerospace manufacturing employment, with more than 80 percent of Illinois aerospace workplace being found in Rockfords metropolitan areas. This makes the Rockford metropolitan areasixth in thenation in terms of concentration of aerospace production employment and one of the largest in the nation in overall aerospace employment.
ABOUT THE ROCKFORD AREA ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL
The primary role of the Rockford Area Economic Development Council is to collaboratively enhance wealth creation in the Rockford Region by helping employers retain and create quality jobs while promoting the region. The RAEDC works closely with many partners to learn what existing and new employers need to grow and to serve as a one-stop resource for clients. The RAEDC seeks to improve the competitiveness of the region by taking what it learns from the regions employers engaging the community in the daily work of economic development to improve the competitiveness of the region.
