Governing magazine: State and local government news for America's leaders
Raleigh and Oakland Are Overdoing Hands-On Government
In these cities, as in many more across the country, elected council members have confused governing with administering.
In March, Oakland, Calif., City Auditor Courtney Ruby issued a performance audit on the subject of interference by city council members in the city's administrative work. More than 40 city employees were interviewed, and thousands of council members' and council aides' emails, as well as some phone records, were reviewed.
The audit found that "a culture of interference appears to be felt" across many city departments and that it had led to some city staffers reprioritizing their work in response to requests from multiple council members or their aides. In all, the auditors substantiated 14 instances of council members or aides violating the city's charter by bypassing the city administrator, the mayor and other officials.
Read the rest of this month's magazine issue.
On the other side of the country, in Raleigh, N.C., a public records request found a flurry of emails from city council members expressing dissatisfaction with the city's long-serving city manager, Russell Allen, whom they subsequently fired. The council members, reported the Raleigh News & Observer, "wanted to take a more hands-on role in governing the city -- from protecting their reserved parking spots to meeting directly with department heads." An email from one council member who has been particularly "hands-on" in his dealings with city employees directed that one city staff member work on a project that hadn't yet gone before the entire council. Raleigh's city charter reads much like Oakland's in prohibiting such interference.
In these cities, as in many more across the country, elected council members have confused governing with administering. There's a reason why these charters are written the way they are: Cronyism and corruption had made many municipal governments ineffective and inefficient. When individual council members are allowed to direct staff, it might seem to empower the legislative body, but in fact it diminishes its ability to work at a scale that can have real impact on community-level outcomes.
Members of a city council can act in two ways: as members of a body legislating and overseeing city operations and as individuals engaging their constituents and representing them in the legislative and oversight process. When they try to directly manage city employees, they undercut the work of the full council in legislating and oversight.
The executive -- either in the form of a city manager or a mayor -- carries out the council's legislation. The council conducts oversight to determine how well the executive is acting on its direction, what the results are, how those results compare to what was intended and what changes need to be made. This work is enormously important. It's the work that should be done by council members who run on a platform of "shaking things up" and "getting things done at city hall."
Predictably, Courtney Ruby's audit has gotten her into hot water with the Oakland City Council. The full council has yet to directly confront the findings in her report, but individual council members she identified in the audit have attacked her and urged their colleagues to "audit the audit." For a member of the council to refuse to go along to get along, and to speak out against colleagues who appear to violate the charter, will require real courage. Upon being sworn into office, city council members take an oath to uphold their city's charter. They should keep their word.

We must show no mercy to Portsmouth, says Carlisle Utd's Berrett
Last updated at 12:38, Thursday, 14 February 2013
James Berrett today declared that Carlisle United must show no mercy to crisis club Portsmouth when the Blues bid to get back on track.
United's goalscorer in their defeat at Scunthorpe said the Cumbrians have the perfect chance to bounce back this weekend against opponents who have not won for 20 games.
Pompey's deep financial troubles have left the south coast club staring relegation in the face.
And Berrett said United have to take full advantage when they make their first trip to Fratton Park since 1985. "It's a perfect opportunity because they are struggling at the moment," he said.
"We've got to look to take advantage. At times when we've been struggling, teams have punished us and put a few past us. We've got to do the same ourselves."
Berrett was scathing about United's showing in Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at Glanford Park.
The midfielder said their first-half display was not good enough, even though it included his first league goal since August. The 24-year-old added there must be a big improvement against Pompey after the midweek loss checked their recent progress.
"The first half killed us. We were 2-0 down and had a mountain to climb.
"The goal gave us a lifeline but we weren't good enough.
"We all know that and we shot ourselves in the foot. After playing well and getting some good results it was disappointing.
"The second half was better, it had to be. There was a reaction, a couple of chances and their keeper made a couple of saves. We could have got a draw but I don't know if we'd have deserved it, to be honest.
"At Portsmouth we can't start like we did against Scunthorpe. That is crucial. We have to be a lot brighter."
At Glanford Park on Tuesday Berrett ended a League One goal drought dating back to August 25, when he last netted against Portsmouth in Carlisle's 4-2 win at Brunton Park.
Only a strike in the FA Cup against non-leaguers Ebbsfleet had followed that goal until his 25-yard effort against the Iron.
But Berrett is in no mood to celebrate getting back to goalscoring ways.
"It's always pleasing to score and it was a nice strike, but it didn't mean anything," he said.
"We missed a good opportunity to catch up the teams above us. We have been playing better, but that stops the momentum and it will make it harder on Saturday, going down there after a defeat.
"It is going to be tougher but we are confident we can bounce back."

What a stunning pendant!
Thank you, Fashion Chick
This is cool!!!!!
Thank u, Lynn g!
Lovely….it's like it glows with some kind of inner light.
Thanks, Jazz
Thank u Chicky D
Beautiful gem and wirework! Love this!
Wow! You had another one of those opals??? Did you steal them or something??? LOL! This is absolutely stunning, and I love how you finished off the base of the stone. What gauge wire did you use?
ROTFLOL Sue, you are soooooo funny! Have to admit, though, when I saw she had a second one…..
Yep, that's what I'm saying! LOL!
Very nice. Your wirework, especially at the bottom, is beautiful!
Thank u, Chicky LE
Thanks, C Chickie Sue; this is 20 gauge wire. And to reply to your insinuation, in these parts, the ground is covered with precious stones, but the locals only take fish . I have no fish. That's the short version
Thank u Valentine Chick! I was pleased with the bottom part. It turned out just like I hoped. The top was not so cooperative, though. I had a cool looking idea for the bail, but it wasn't practical (functional), and this big loop was the only way I could get it to hang properly. This is the first pendant I made for sale.
Looks good enough to eat but probly a bit hard on the teeth…truly a most spectacular stone!! The wrapped loop works and looks great at the top. I'll bet you had multiple buyers/wanters!!
Thanks, Cookie

Gareth Bale is eager to learn from Cristiano Ronaldo after joining him at Real Madrid.
The Wales international completed his big-money switch to the Liga club on Sunday and was unveiled in front of more than 20,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu on Monday.
While the fee has not been disclosed, reports suggest that Bale's price tag makes him the most expensive player in history - taking the mantle from Ronaldo, who signed from Manchester United in 2009 for £80million.
However, rather than the pair being in competition, the former Tottenham man believes that he can benefit from playing alongside the Portuguese forward.
"For me, he is the best player in the world and he was a factor for me in deciding to come here," Bale said.
"He is the best player in the world. I want to learn from him.
"I don't think I need to help him to be the best player in the world because he already is."
When asked whether the money Real paid for him would affect his performances, Bale was unfazed.
"(There is) only as much pressure as I put on myself," he added.
"I want to play my best football and to help the team win. The pressure comes from myself.
"I have to work hard to get a place in the starting 11."
Bale has signed a six-year deal with Carlo Ancelotti's side.

Comment: Re:Standardized pricing? Good luck with that. (Score 1) 118
That, and not all plumbers, electricians, tutors, cleaners, painters, etc. are equal.
Some are experienced and produce amazing work. Others just started and have a lot to learn.
A standard rate of pay means that the guy who does the crap work gets paid the same as the guy who does the great work.

Lightning falls to Predators03/26/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — The Lightning felt it probably deserved a better fate in Thursday's 3-2 loss to the Predators.
"Let's not kid ourselves. We played a good team, and we thought we were the better team," captain Steven Stamkos said.
For the most part, Tampa Bay was, holding the 100-point Predators to 19 shots. The Lightning had the puck for what coach Jon Cooper estimated was three-quarters of the game. It killed off five power plays, including a double minor....
Cedric Paquette returns for Lightning03/26/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — C Cedric Paquette returned to the lineup Thursday, convinced the upper-body injury that has bothered him since February — and had sidelined him the previous six games — is behind him.
"I'm ready to go," Paquette said.
And, for at least one day, C Vladislav Namestnikov stayed with Tampa Bay, though coach Jon Cooper said that could change today. Namestnikov, on an emergency recall, has to be returned to AHL Syracuse or he'll be the third of four allotted post-trade-deadline callups. But with LW Brenden Morrow day to day with an upper-body injury, Namestnikov remained, playing in the 3-2 loss to the Predators and scoring....
Paquette back in lineup; Namestnikov staying - for now03/26/15 Blog
Lightning center Cedric Paquette will return to the lineup tonight, having missed six games with an upper body injury.
"I'm ready to go," Paquette said. "Today is the day."
And, as of today, coach Jon Cooper said there are no plans to send C Vladislav Namestnikov, on an emergeny recall, back to AHL Syracuse, but that could change by Friday; Cooper hinted there might be another short-term injury among his forward group (possibly Brenden Morrow)....
Lightning getting hang of rallies03/25/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — Veteran wing Brenden Morrow said he isn't sure when it happened, or how exactly.
But after spending the first five months of the season struggling when trailing after two periods — 1-17-2 — the Lightning recently has become the comeback kids.
"It turned around pretty quick," Morrow said.
Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Panthers was the third time this month Tampa Bay rallied from a third-period deficit, twice earning a victory and the other forcing overtime in Boston to get a point with a shootout loss....
Lightning rallies to beat Panthers03/24/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — As he walked out of the locker room to his post-game news conference Tuesday, coach Jon Cooper got a charge out of seeing Rays star third baseman Evan Longoria — in a Steven Stamkos jersey — getting a tour from the Lightning captain.
"I'm pretty fired up right now," Cooper said.
If the local celebrity sighting wasn't enough, the Lightning's thrilling 4-3 come-from-behind victory over the Panthers should have gotten Cooper plenty pumped....
D Jason Garrison peaking with Lightning03/24/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — Associate coach Rick Bowness knew D Jason Garrison would be a big addition, having coached him in Vancouver.
But after watching Garrison, 30, this season, his first since getting acquired from the Canucks in June, Bowness said the six-year veteran has been better than advertised.
"This is the best I've seen Gary play," Bowness said.
Garrison has four goals and 26 assists and his plus-28 rating coming in was the best among NHL defensemen, including plus-11 his previous 11 games. While Garrison boasts a big left-handed shot, his main contribution has been his calm, steady defense. The 6-foot-3, 222-pound native of White Rock, British Columbia, plays heavy in the corners and is key cog on the penalty kill; his 94 blocked shots rank second on the team....
Paquette to return on road trip, Vasilevskiy starts tonight03/24/15 Blog
It looks like C Cedric Paquette won't be returning on this homestand.
Paquette, who has missed five games with an upper body injury, continued to skate in a regular colored jersey this morning, but wasn't part of line rushes. Coach Jon Cooper said there's no update, but indicated Paquette would return on the upcoming five-game road trip, which begins Saturday in Detroit.
When Paquette comes back, it'll make for a tough decision for the Lightning. C Vladislav Namestnikov, on an emergency recall, has been playing really well. But in order for Namestnikov not to count towards the four alotted post-deadline call-ups, he'd have to get returned to AHL Syracuse when Paquette is ready. The Lightning could also keep Namestnikov up, giving them just one call-up remaining. Cooper said Sunday that Namestnikov is making his case to stick around....

Lightning vs Panthers
When/where: 7:30, Amalie Arena
TV/radio: Sun Sports, 970-AM
Key stats: The Panthers (33-25-14) are fighting for their playoff lives, entering Monday four points out of the second wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference. C Brandon Pirri has four goals in the past five games. Veteran RW Jaromir Jagr has two goals and five assists in 10 games since joining the Panthers. The Panthers beat the Lightning 4-3 March 1, with Tampa Bay winning 3-2 in overtime in the season opener Oct. 9. G Ben Bishop was named the NHL's third star for last week for going 3-0 with a 2.00 GAA. He has won nine of his past 11 starts....
A rare fight, but Steven Stamkos gets it right03/23/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — Former Lightning enforcer Andre Roy said Steven Stamkos won't receive many style points when it comes to his fight Sunday with Boston's Brad Marchand.
"I don't think either of us got a shot in," Stamkos admitted.
But Roy believed the Lightning captain struck the right tone in quickly tackling Marchand, a feisty agitator, to the ice.
"He did it right," said Roy, who is now an analyst for RDS, a Canadian sports network. "He went in and said, 'You little rat, that's enough!' He just grabbed him and whipped him on the ice. It was short and sweet, like he wanted."...
Ben Bishop named NHL's Third Star for last week03/23/15 Blog
Lightning goalie Ben Bishop was named the NHL's Third Star of the Week.
Bishop went 3-0 with a 2.00 goals against average and a .935 save percentage with big wins over the Canadiens, Red Wings and Bruins. A Vezina Trophy finalist last season, Bishop has been on the top of his game in recent weeks, winning eight of his last 10 starts.
Bishop is 36-11-4 with a 2.31 GAA, .916 save percentage and three shutouts in 55 games. He needs just one more victory to tie the club record he set last season....
Namestnikov strengthens case to stay with Lightning03/22/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — C Vladislav Namestnikov is going to make it hard for the Lightning to send him back to AHL Syracuse.
Namestnikov, 22, continues to play well, racking up two points in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Bruins, including scoring a goal, his sixth of the season and third since a March 3 callup.
But with C Cedric Paquette (upper-body injury) possibly coming back this week, Namestnikov would need to get returned to the Crunch in order for his callup to remain an emergency one and not count toward the team's four allotted post-trade-deadline callups. Tampa Bay has used two....
Lightning beats Bruins for first time since 201203/22/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — Steven Stamkos suggested it was merely coincidence that his teammates scored twice in the minute after his first-period fight Sunday with Boston's Brad Marchand.
But make no mistake, the sight of the captain dropping his gloves then wrestling the Bruins agitator to the ice was the catalyst in the Lightning's cathartic 5-3 victory, its first over Boston since March 13, 2012. After Stamkos' second career bout — the first was in 2008 — the sellout crowd of 19,204 at Amalie Arena erupted. So did the Lightning bench. The Superman theme song played as Stamkos went to the penalty box....

Hedman puts the jump in Lightning03/21/15 Lightning Strikes
TAMPA — Captain Steven Stamkos is the Lightning's best player, its biggest star.
Goalie Ben Bishop might be its most valuable, especially come playoff time.
But often the player that stirs the drink for the Lightning is defenseman Victor Hedman, the 6-foot-6 230-pound Swede who can spark the highest-scoring offense with his skating ability.
"If you watch, a lot of the way our team plays, it's the way 'Heddy' is going," coach Jon Cooper said. "When he gets his legs moving and he's engaged, our team kind of feeds off that. And for the most part, that's the way Heddy's been. That's why we've had some success."...
Lightning's Drouin earns shot on top line03/21/15 Lightning Strikes
Though rookie wing Jonathan Drouin entered this season as the game's top prospect, the Lightning made it clear this would be a meritocracy.
"That's the first thing they told me, nothing is really given," Drouin said. "You're going to earn your ice time, earn your power play."
It's been a long, humbling process for the 2013 No. 3 overall draft pick — one that has included being a healthy scratch four times — but Drouin is finally reaping the rewards of his hard work. ...

Clinton surges ahead in Pennsylvania – but has mountain to climb
Friday 21 March 2008
Hillary Clinton is racing ahead of Barack Obama in the polls for the forthcoming Pennsylvania primary, but she still faces nearly insurmountable odds as she tries to wrest the Democratic nomination away from him.
Mrs Clinton has doubled her lead over her opponent with more than four weeks to go before the Pennsylvania vote, but her hopes of becoming a presidential contender largely depend on her opponent self-destructing between now and the end of the primary season in June.
For the first time in weeks Mrs Clinton has also taken a significant lead in a national Gallup poll, reflecting voters' worries about Mr Obama's close links to his controversial spiritual mentor, the Rev Jeremiah Wright. The infighting among Democrats and the recent negative tone of their campaign has meanwhile benefited the Republicans, with a Reuters/Zogby poll showing John McCain leading Mrs Clinton by three (a statistical tie) and Mr Obama by six points.
Mrs Clinton's strong showing in the Pennsylvania polls gives her a 51 to 35 per cent lead among likely Democratic voters. Last February, the same Franklin poll put the gap at 44 to 37 per cent, less than half what it is today. Yet another poll gave Mrs Clinton a larger 56-30 lead and saw her attracting 27 per cent of the state's important black vote.
The prospect of Mr Obama's campaign imploding seems more remote since Tuesday, when he gave a much-admired speech in Philadelphia about America's racial divisions. He distanced himself from comments made by his mentor, Mr Wright, who has suggested that blacks should damn America for continuing to mistreat them. In 35 minutes, Mr Obama turned the controversy over Mr Wright's inflammatory remarks into an appeal for a more honest debate on race relations.
Liberal commentators, among them Clinton supporters, quickly praised the speech and there was a palpable sense that Mr Obama had brought his campaign back from the brink, even as right-wing commentators denounced his words as insufficient. Mrs Clinton's advisers wisely remained silently on the sidelines of the row, but they still hope that the uproar will rattle the confidence of voters and superdelegates in Mr Obama's campaign.
Superdelegates are the key constituency made up of Democratic Party grandees and elected officials and the Clinton campaign has been discreetly lobbying them to switch sides. Superdelegates are free to decide which candidate to back at the nominating convention and loss of their support could wipe out Mr Obama's delegate advantage.
That contest is finely balanced, with Mr Obama leading his opponent by about 150 delegates. To secure the presidential nomination a candidate needs to win 2,025 delegates.
Mrs Clinton's campaign is also hamstrung by her defeats last month. Senior Democrats say her ability to snatch the nomination from Mr Obama now depends on her winning the overall popular vote when the contests end in June, thereby raising enough questions about his electability to persuade the superdelegates to come to her side. Yesterday, Mr Obama appeared confident that, by that time, he would still hold the lead in the popular vote, as well as delegates from the state contests. He backed a suggestion that the superdelegates then hold a meeting to decide which candidate to back, ensuring the bickering does not go all the way to the August convention. Mr Obama now leads by 700,000 votes out of 26 million cast and 12 million people have a voice in the remaining primaries and caucuses. Mr Obama accepts there is nothing to stop a tenacious Mrs Clinton taking her battle all the way to the floor of the Denver convention on 25 August – in the hope that his campaign will implode along the way – but that will leave little time for the winning candidate to organise and fight the presidential election in November.

Family Giggles
My goodness this family was so much fun to photograph! We had a great time together playing games and thinking up silly words to make each other laugh. These brothers are good friends but they weren't sure they wanted to get too close together being the cool dudes that they are. Before they knew they were laughing together and having fun. I can't wait to share the rest of your images!

Mom and Dad are so proud of their girls. You can just feel the love between all of them. I really enjoyed working with family. I hope you all come back again soon.

Fairlight Launches XCS Panel for Constellation Console
Fairlight has responded to overwhelming calls to bring its Xynergi based SLICK (self labeling illuminated computer key switches) technology to its popular Constellation large format mixing consoles. The XCS panel, which stands for Xynergi Centre Section, is now an available option across the complete range of its Constellation console series.
The Xynergi controller technology was first launched to the world in the form of the desktop Xynergi Media Production Centre and, according to Fairlightâs Sales & Marketing Director, Stuart DeMarais, âit quickly became clear that with the Xynergi technology, we had invented a controller that re-defined how users interface with their creative environment. Once theyâd experienced Xynergi any other interface experience became a compromise. It was only a matter of time before we had a crescendo of voices asking for us to incorporate the Xynergi interface into our large format consoles and now we have pleasure in delivering this to the marketâ?.
The XCS panel harnesses the unique tactile power of the Xynergi controller technology and creates a whole new paradigm for console style mixing environments. Constellation with XCS is the ultimate statement in form and function: a small footprint console with dedicated tactile control of every single system function including over 60,000 automation parameters. The XCS panel centralizes all major system functions directly under finger tip control providing a truly intuitive tool for recording, editing and mixing. The XCS can be specified with any number of other Constellation panels, most typically the channel assign panel or in line panel, to create a console mixing environment tailored made to the individual tastes of the operator.
The first Constellation with XCS panel was shipped to Highway Television in France and the system can be seen at various global locations during the upcoming trade show season as follows; IBC Amsterdam (Sept 12th â 16th), AES San Francisco (Oct 2nd â 5th), SATIS Paris (Oct 23rd-26th) and Tonmeister Leipzig (Nov 13th â 16th).

New Delhi: The Robert Vadra land deals issue dominated the all-party meeting on Tuesday. Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Sushma Swaraj said that the government should allow the Opposition to raise the issue in the House.
She also said that other critical issues should also be discussed in Parliament. The Left also slammed the government saying there's no point in holding such meetings if the House cannot function.
"It was a very exhaustive all-party meeting in which all parties have stated their intent to run the House peacefully and without any disruption," Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kamal Nath said.
The all-party meeting came as both Houses of Parliament remained stalled with major Bills pending. The government is hoping to pass the Food Security Bill soon. IT has also tabled the RTI Amendment Bill in the House.

Fat Joe is A Fat Bitch, According to Best Diss Track Ever
Fat Joe, the iconic Bronx-born rapper who looked remarkably similar to King Hippo from Mike Tyson's Punch Out before going on a diet, is set to take the stage Friday night at Revolution Live and deliver what's sure to be a ground-shaking show.
What's a Papoose, you ask? Arguably the most underrated, overlooked Brooklyn rapper of the past decade. Why did he write a nearly 8-minute-long diss rap making fun of Fat Joe? Allegedly over some beef that happened in 2008 at a show in North Carolina. Why are we writing about a years-old song? Because it's one of the best diss raps ever produced.

Topic: Butterfly Gardens
Title: Butterfly plants for Kolkata, India
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I am from Kolkata, India. I have a garden of 200ft x 50ft size, mostly shadowed by big trees. I want to attract butterflies in my garden. Can you please let me know the flowers / plants I plant for butterflies & their babies? What about artificial feeder & others required thing?
We are delighted you are going to add butterfly habitat to your garden, However, our mission at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is to increase the sustainable use and conservation of native wildflowers, plants and landscape. And, when we say "native," we mean native not only to North America but also to the area in which the plants are being grown. Even assuming we could find plants in our Native Plant Database that would flourish near your home, and assuming you could get a supply of them there, the local butterflies probably would not have anything to do with them. Worse, the plants from North America or Texas might become invasive in your area, take over the butterflies' natural habitat and end up driving the delightful little winged creatures away.
We did find a website, My Butterfly Garden Blogspot, on Butterflies of India. There are a number of links on that site that might lead you to the information you are seeking. Another website you should visit is from auroville.org on Butterfly Gardens. This site specifies they are trying to return to indigenous plant species (native to India) and why, which is our goal, as well. but for North America. With these two sites and following links and leads on them, you will hopefully find your way to a "Mr. Smarty Plants" of India.
