People hear a lot of rhetoric about "big government" versus "small government" from politicians, but there's another approach: responsible government. That means not just cutting programs blindly, nor does it mean that government can always make everyone happy. It also means that everyone should have a fair shot at bidding for state contracts, and have information about how those contracts are awarded. Government should be efficient and responsive, not secretive.

Rocky's Positive Thoughts Coloring Book
Rocky's Positive Thoughts Coloring Book
By Sue London
"Congratulations on the publication of your book, Rocky's Positive Thoughts Coloring Book. We are sure it will accomplish exactly what you want it to – to provide comfort and inspiration to many." – All the best, Carina Vincent, National Publications Coordinator, Crohn's and Colitis Foundation of Canada
"This book illustrates the importance of having a positive outlook on life. It engages adults and children alike and provides parents with a great opportunity to interact with their kids as they focus on this positive message." -Dr. Tom Lopac, Chiropractor
"Philosophy according to a box of crayons" If we looked at the world as a box of crayons ………….It would be all about the colours we see, and the way they all fit into the same box. We could learn a lot from a box of crayons: They come in all colours, they have weird names, some are bright, some are dull, but they all fit into the same box. A great philosophy, to encourage all of us to get along, and to understand and respect our difference. Sue London understands the "box of crayons" philosophy and she has created a way for kids to all be in the same box, when it comes to learning some valuable lessons about life. Sue dedicates her new book to Sarah, her very special daughter. Sue understands the importance of a positive attitude, and Rocky's Positive Thoughts Colouring Book is a brilliant way to get kids to recognize the power of positive thinking, while keeping them in touch with Rocky, a truly great little dog. It's an inspiring little book, with plenty of positive messages, encouraging kids to never give up and to understand that there is always a reason for what happens. Rocky's journey will take kids to many places during their growing up years, I know Sue will make sure that he helps them understand what's happening and encourages them to remain positive. I wish Rocky's Journey had been around when I was a kid!" – Donna Messer, President ConnectUs Communications Canada, Managing Editor of BWC, Business Woman Canada Magazine
"Thank you for your second book in the Rocky's Journey series. My favourite page was Miracles Do Happen. That page number is 19. Thank you thank you so so so so much for making this coloring book." – Brianna S. (an 8 year old with Cancer)

Cambridge Council doesn't let the law get in the way
"Technically, this amounted to intrusive surveillance, which the police can authorise, but the council cannot." Cambridge City Council report.
As reported on the front page of today's Cambridge News, a report to Cambridge city council, to be discussed next week, highlights how the Council signed off on an operation to install hidden CCTV cameras in the home of a resident, despite not having the legal authority to do so.
The situation clearly warranted action to protect the resident and to ensure a proper prosecution could be mounted. This is why the police do have the power to install hidden cameras – and in this case it should have been the police investigating, not the council. While the Protection of Freedoms Act will now require a council seeks a magistrate's approval for Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act operation, other public authorities will not.
It highlights just how weak the safeguards around these powers are that a council thought it had the power to plant secret cameras in someone's home when they absolutely do not.
The failures in authorisation and legal advice are starkly laid out in this case, but in how many other situations are public authorities erring beyond their powers? We do not know, and cases like this only further highlight the weakness of the current oversight regime around RIPA.

I viewed a rented property the other day, in Oxford (this huge old house had been converted into 5 or 6 pokey flats) and the owner had installed CCTV for the protection of the residents. Is he allowed to do that???

SUMMIT COUNTY " Summit County School District fields, some of which earned a "C" grade last year, are greener and healthier following extra attention from maintenance experts.
"Never before has this much work been put into the fields," said Tom Dickey, who has been with the district for 20 years as a Summit High School physical-education teacher and coach. "They are in so much better shape."
Last year, an assessment found four of 12 district fields to have grade "C" conditions, including poor turf and low soil fertility. Norris Design of Denver and Frisco and American Civil Constructors of Denver comprised the project team for the Summit County athletic fields needs assessment.
The report raised concerns with some community leaders, who suggested that improving the fields should be a higher priority than a proposed $1.4 million synthetic-turf field project at the high school.
But proponents of artificial turf argue that it would conserve water and is more durable than grass and better able to withstand activity, especially during the early and late seasons.
District facilities manager Woody Bates, who was hired as the assessment was concluding, said dedicated expertise was needed to care for the shoddy fields and that district employees lack the necessary time and resources.
Tim Henning of Grassmaster Lawncare was contracted to take over field maintenance. He began working on the fields in May, overseeding them with premium athletic seed, aerating and spraying compost.
Soil samples were sent to a laboratory in Ohio to determine details such as the ideal amount of fertilizer needed for healthy growth.
Among other issues, Bates said he was "shocked" at the condition of the sprinkler system, and the budget for sprinkler repair was tripled.
"The sprinklers lacked preventative maintenance," he said.
Nancy Secor, parent of two Summit High School students, said Tiger Field is nicer than she's seen it in the past four years.
"It's so thick and green, more than I've ever seen," she said. "The fields (before) were just so brown and hard as a rock."
Henning said he used a bluegrass-seed blend of four varieties that survives the winter.
"I think we took it as far as we could," he said of this year's field maintenance.
Unlike much of the United States, winter conditions limit Summit County's field maintenance to roughly May through September. Henning said lack of organic matter in the area's land requires additional care and attention.
And attempts to delay field openings until the "mushiness" reduces have been difficult to execute.
"As soon as they see green, people are on them," Henning said.
Bates said that because of this, field use is highest when groundskeepers are trying to cultivate the grass.

Eminent Astorians
"Eminent Astorians" marks the bicentennial of Astoria in 2011. Each of nine essays presents a literary biography of a figure who looms large in Astoria's history, from Comcomly, the powerful, one-eyed leader of the Chinook Tribe when Lewis and Clark arrived at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1805, to the "Salmon Kings" who capitalized on the region's natural bounty from the 1870s to the 1910s. Modeled after Lytton Strachey's literary portraits in Eminent Victorians, these essays are interpretive, engaging, and rich in context. The authors are among the best known and most respected writers and scholars in the Northwest. Stephen Dow Beckham, distinguished historian at Lewis and Clark College, contributed a comprehensive introduction and served as the book's historical advisor.
Scholars as well as travelers and lay readers interested in the Pacific Northwest will enjoy the biographical storytelling and gain insights into Astoria's history as they trace the lives of these quintessential Oregonians. Essays include "Comcomly: Chinook Nation CEO" by John Terry; "John Jacob Astor I: 'A Most Excellent Man?'" by Robert Michael Pyle; "George Gibbs" by Stephen Dow Beckham; "Ranald MacDonald and Astoria" by Frederik L. Schodt; "Captain George Flavel and the Building of Astoria" by William F. Willingham; "Bethenia Angelina Owens Adair" by Jean M. Ward; "Silas Bryant Smith" by Stephen Dow Beckham; "Molding Astoria--The Role of Two Editors" by Sandra Haarsager; and "The Salmon Kings" by Liisa Penner.

War is hell. The combatant is delivered into the conflagration with morals ethics, and principles learned at home, in religious and learning institutions. In our military, there are rules of conduct that pertain to the treatment of prisoners and enemy dead. In the insanity of war, the combatant must act outside of those values. The result is a constant clash between the fires of human emotion and moral convictions.
What the four Marines who urinated on the corpses of Taliban fighters did was certainly outside of the military code and the Geneva Conventions. America should never tolerate that behavior. No matter what the "bad guys" do, we cannot become their mirrored counterpart, otherwise we forfeit the moral high ground. "It's war" is not a valid reason to sink into amoral behavior. The killing of another human being should never be taken lightly. Once we, as a nation at war, have stepped over those boundaries and accept any form of desecration as permissible, we have compromised our right to claim moral exceptionalism.
The Marines should be dealt the maximum punishment allowed by military law, and then put into long-term psychological counseling. God knows they are going to need it.

Classical Chamber Music Ensemble Imani Winds
Flutist/composer Valerie Coleman tells the story of Imani Winds, an all-black chamber music ensemble.
Ms. VALERIE COLEMAN (Flutist and Composer): I can remember when I was a little kid. I used to be in the youth orchestra, and there were so many African- Americans in the orchestra. But somewhere along the line, when I got to college, I was the only one in the orchestra. So I wondered what in the world happened here?
It came to my mind that role models are needed.
ED GORDON, host:
That's flutist and composer Valerie Coleman. In 1997, while still a student, Coleman decided to start her own chamber music ensemble. The idea was to gather together some of the best African-American woodwind players around. She called the group Imani Winds.
Here, Valerie Coleman tells the story of Imani Winds.
Ms. COLEMAN: I basically called around. I gave them my whole spiel. One of the things that I asked them was who are your role models? When you were growing up, who were your role models? And, were there any African-Americans as your role model? And the answer was basically no from everyone.
Of course, you had Winton Marsalis, but he plays trumpet and we're woodwind instruments. So I said, well, guys, we have a chance to change that. We really have the opportunity to let people know that classical music is an all- inclusive thing, not exclusive.
That's basically how the group came together. We get into a practice room. It was magic from the very beginning, and I said to myself, this is going to be something.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. TORIN SPELLMAN-DIAZ (Oboe Player, Imani Winds): My name is Torin Spellman- Diaz, and I'm playing the oboe.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. MONICA ELLIS (Bassoon Player, Imani Winds): My name is Monica Ellis. I play the bassoon.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. MARIAM ADAM (Clarinet Player, Inami Winds): My name is Mariam Adam. I play clarinet.
(Soundbite of music)
Mr. JEFF SCOTT (French Horn Player, Imani Winds): I'm Jeff Scott. I play the French horn.
(Soundbite of music)
(Soundbite of laughter)
Ms. COLEMAN: Imani Winds is, I believe, is a richer sound because of the personalities in the group. And personalities definitely reflect on the individual instruments.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: We're playing a composition that I wrote. It's actually the first movement of this piece that describes Josephine Baker's life. And this movement in particular gives you the setting of St. Louis during the time of 1920.
So this movement is basically describing all of that, and also showing us Josephine Baker as a little girl, the mischievous little girl who used to steal fruit from the stands just so she could have food to eat.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: I grew up in Louisville, Kentucky. My mom, she says that when she had me in the womb, that she would play Beethoven Sixth Symphony, the Pastorale Symphony to me all the time. And so, that's how it all began.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: I remember being a baby, being in the backyard, picking up tree limbs and pretending that it was a flute.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: And then when I started to learn music in elementary school, I immediately started to write it down as I learned how to read music.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: By the time I was in high school, as a hobby, I would write whole symphonies and things like that. You know. Things that normal children don't do.
(Soundbite of laughter)
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: You know, I grew up in Muhammad Ali's neighborhood, the west end of Louisville. And that is about as inner-city as any inner-city can get. And my mom, she raised me right, and she worked hard at it. And, you know, my dad died when I was nine years old, so for the most part, when he died, me and my sisters - you know, my mom became a single mom at that point and she picked up the pieces. And somehow, she sent us all to college and just pulled it together and made it possible for us to get our education and what not. And I think that that's what drives me today, because I want to go back, and I want to help my community. I want to help the people in my family, particularly the men in my family.
I would say about 70 percent of them have been incarcerated, or are currently incarcerated. So my family, I always consider, is in a 9-1-1 situation, so that's what drives me. Because I know that I have to really do something about it.
(Soundbite of music)
Ms. COLEMAN: What should African-Americans hear when they come to our concerts? What should they listen for? My answer is simple: listen for the soul. Listen for the soul. It's in our roots, it's in our backgrounds. We're bringing our background to the table to interpret all of the music that we play. So listen for it, because you will relate to it.
GORDON: Valerie Coleman of the classical chamber music ensemble Imani Winds. The group's third CD is self-titled.
(Soundbite of music)
GORDON: That's our program for today. Thanks for joining us.
