The Fox Guarding the Henhouse: \u3ci\u3eNewman v. King County\u3c/i\u3e and Washington\u27s Freedom of Information Law

In its 1997 decision Newman v. King County, the Supreme Court of Washington created a categorical exemption for open police files under the Public Disclosure Act (PDA). The court reasoned that if a police file was open, its confidentiality was necessarily essential for effective law enforcement, and thus came within an exemption from disclosure. As a result of the court\u27s decision, law enforcement agencies need only assert that an investigation is active in order for the public record to be exempt. This Note argues that the majority\u27s broad and abstract opinion is contrary to the law and facts of Newman. Rather, the dissent correctly applied the Act\u27s plain language requiring a court to analyze whether an individual record actually comes within an exemption

Fragment Approach to Constrained Density Functional Theory Calculations using Daubechies Wavelets

In a recent paper we presented a linear scaling Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) code based on Daubechies wavelets, where a minimal set of localized support functions is optimized in situ and therefore adapted to the chemical properties of the molecular system. Thanks to the systematically controllable accuracy of the underlying basis set, this approach is able to provide an optimal contracted basis for a given system: accuracies for ground state energies and atomic forces are of the same quality as an uncontracted, cubic scaling approach. This basis set offers, by construction, a natural subset where the density matrix of the system can be projected. In this paper we demonstrate the flexibility of this minimal basis formalism in providing a basis set that can be reused as-is, i.e. without reoptimization, for charge-constrained DFT calculations within a fragment approach. Support functions, represented in the underlying wavelet grid, of the template fragments are roto-translated with high numerical precision to the required positions and used as projectors for the charge weight function. We demonstrate the interest of this approach to express highly precise and efficient calculations for preparing diabatic states and for the computational setup of systems in complex environments
