A few items are sitting in my inbox that I didn't have time to get to this week.  Take them home and read at your leisure this weekend:

  1. The Big Dog is watching. Bill Clinton gave a speech about "the common good" at Georgetown University that seems to draw heavily on two of our core opportunity values: Redemption, or the idea that people change over time and that we all make mistakes and deserve a chance to start over; and Community, or the idea that we're all in this together.  Raw Story has the details, YouTube has the video.
  2. Michigan voters appear to have mixed views about a "proposed ban on race and gender preferences in government hiring, contracting and university admissions."  41% of likely voters favor the ban and 44% oppose it.

Have a great weekend, we'll be back on Monday.
