James Lewis Jr., affectionately known as Jlew ventured to Andover Massachusetts in the Fall of 2016 to better himself. As a basketball player, as a student and most importantly as an individual. Hailing from Mt. Holly, North Carolina, James comes from a family-oriented background with strong morals and electric hoops. Originally doubling as a football and basketball player, as he transitioned to High school Lewis focused on the latter. His 6'1 frame needed some filling out to say the least, but he had the mentality from day one. Bully Ball. James began morphing into a walking double- double while competing through nagging injuries. Every so often, it seemed to be something. His Senior year at Northside Christian he enjoyed to the tune of 16 points and 12 boards a game, but again missed many games with injuries. Despite having a litany of offers and interest, he bet on himself going prep. It was there where we would cross paths, and he would put together a magnificent 18/11 season. He lead a talented Andover team in scoring and helped gut out a big win over NEPSAC AA Worcester Academy. The fruits of his labor materialized in a scholarship to Chattanooga and a #78 ranking in all of New England(NERR). His Freshman season saw instant success, starting nearly every game for the Mocs. He transferred to Appalachian State, where after a redshirt season played 4 strong years. In 2021, the Mountaineers were victorious in the Sun Belt Conference and had a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Although he entertained a contract overseas, James opted for a job offer where he can utilize his degree in computer information systems. Lewis Jr. secured both a bachelor's and master's degree from Appalachian State. Recorded: 12.16.24

According to some folks at this past Friday night at China Blossom Restaurant in N. Andover MA, where the comedy room Wicket Funny is, Jacques doesn't totally stink at stand up … nor does their pal Wayne Russell, who both moved to finals of 2ndannual Funniest Person In Merrimac Valley contest. Jacques learns what a “mom said no” item in a store is, we chat Vegas odds of Oasis tour actually happening, The Jane's Addiction dust up on stage in Boston this weekend … and someone running for public office who hates the non-child having cat lady, Taylor Swift (who we … think is a national treasure and a great person.)  Joe gives a big thumbs up to “Legends Of Beavis”, Biff gives interesting breakdown of “Ghost Stories” from Japan and Jacques' kid has him watching JuJutsu Kaisen. Jacques and son went to pretty amazing Weezer 30th anniversary of Blue Album show (Dinosaur Jr was great, Flaming Lips sucked). Erling Haaland, footballer for Man City is a human cheat code (that's if he is human) and piss off to Complains and Observation's Dave for putting Jacques on anxiety ride watching West Ham games!

Come see the great Tony V. THIS Friday Sept 13th at The China Blossom in N. Andover MA, where he'll be hosting and headlining night one of CFP's Wicket Funny's 2nd annual “Funniest Person In Merrimac Valley” contest – Jacques (and former CPP guests Wayne Russell from Open Mic Pain Podcast and Lauren Simms) will all be participants in. A lot of great stuff has happened with Tony since being on our podcast in March.  Now, we're not saying ALL of it is a result of being on our podcast but we're not, NOT saying that either.  Hey, the “CPP Bump” as it's known industry wide, has really helped a lot of careers … according to our own research (which is proprietary and we won't be sharing with the class.) Sure, it could be part strategic self-serving scheduling on our part back in March.  It COULD be part coincidence.  And sure, an argument could be made that these things have come about due to a life time of hard work by Tony and him being one of the best comics to ever come out of the greatest city for stand-up comedy ever.  BUT his “Life Time Achievement” award from Jim McCue & The Boston Comedy Festival this year DID happen after being on our podcast.  His ridiculously funny Comedy Dynamics special, “Wait Till You Hear This” did come out on Apple TV, Amazon Prime (and dozens of other places) AFTER he was on CPP.  Tony was also prominently featured on the very cool John Tobin Productions launch video for their “Lil Chucks” comedy club and also, when Jacques was in LA a few weeks ago, Tony did get to co-host with the very talented Gus Vireiros at The Yard Theater in Hollywood an amazing show with Bobcat Goldthwait, again all this happened AFTER having been on CPP ... and now, this Friday's Wicket Funny CFP hosting headlining gig … come on. Hope you can get a ticket for what will be a sold-out show on Friday.

My Country, 'Tis of Thee è una canzone patriottica americana, il cui testo fu scritto da Samuel Francis Smith. Il titolo, alla lettera, si traduce: “Il mio paese, sei tu”. Ma in Italia è noto con il più semplice titolo “America”. La melodia è tratta dall'inno nazionale del Regno Unito, God Save the Queen. La canzone fu usata come inno nazionale degli Stati Uniti fino al 1931. Ma non fu l'unico brano usato a tale scopo. Citiamo ad esempio Hail, Columbia. Nel 1931 gli Stati Uniti adottarono come inno nazionale ufficiale The Star-Spangled Banner. La storia Samuel Francis Smith scrisse il testo di America nel 1831 mentre frequentava l'Andover Theological Seminary di Andover (Massachusetts). Si ritiene che scelse la melodia dell'inno britannico per simboleggiare la democrazia americana. Il famoso compositore Lowell Mason aveva richiesto la collaborazione di Smith per realizzare una raccolta di canzoni tedesche con testo in inglese. Smith avrebbe potuto spaziare fra testi tradotti e nuovi da adeguare alle melodie originali. Fra le musiche per le quali doveva scrivere i testi c'era la melodia dell'inno britannico. Smith consegnò a Mason il testo, dopodiché il 4 luglio 1831 la canzone fu eseguita pubblicamente per la prima volta durante una festa in onore dei bambini organizzata nel Giorno dell'Indipendenza alla Park Street Church di Boston. La canzone fu pubblicata per la prima volta nel 1832. La quarta strofa della canzone prevede che il pubblico si alzi e partecipi al canto a piena voce: “Our fathers' God, to Thee, Author of liberty, to Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright with freedom's holy light. Protect us by Thy might, Great God our King.” Traduzione: “Dio dei nostri padri, a te, autore della libertà, a te cantiamo. Che la nostra terra possa essere illuminata per diverso tempo dalla santa luce della libertà. Proteggici con la tua potenza, grande Dio, nostro Re”. Visto che questo inno è basato sulla melodia dell'inno nazionale britannico, God Save Our Gracious King (Queen)”, la Corte Suprema ha stabilito che gli Stati Uniti sono una nazione cristiana. Esecuzioni passate alla storia Il legame con la religione si può evincere notando quella che è stata una delle prime esecuzioni della canzone dopo che perse il “diritto” come inno nazionale ufficiale. Infatti, Marian Anderson la eseguì al Lincoln Memorial la domenica di Pasqua del 9 aprile 1939. Comunque, si può ascoltare anche in uno dei più bei film mai realizzati, West Side Story (1961). La gang portoricana è costretta da un poliziotto ad abbandonare il “consiglio di guerra”. Mentre se ne vanno, i ragazzi fischiettano l'inno. Ricordiamo che questo mese è uscito il remake del film realizzato da Steven Spielberg. È un vero peccato che Stephen Sondheim, autore dei testi del musical, sia mancato pochi mesi fa. Quando il 28 agosto 1963 pronunciò il suo famoso discorso I Have a Dream al Lincoln Memorial durante la Marcia su Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. recitò la prima strofa della canzone. Nel mondo del cinema, ritorna nel film Walk, Don't Run (Cammina, non correre). Curiosamente Cary Grant e Jim Hutton cantarono la prima strofa, accompagnati da Samantha Eggar che, però, cantò quella di God Save the Queen. Un'altra esecuzione notevole fu quella di Crosby, Stille e Nash nel primo episodio del The Tonight Show di Jay Leno andato in onda dopo gli attacchi dell'11 settembre 2001. La canzone accompagnò alcuni dei momenti più importanti della presidenza di Barack Obama. Nel 2004 Dan Berggren presentò un nuovo testo dedicato all'ambiente e alla libertà. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/corgiov/message

Where Bob speaks with Dartmouth College junior defenseman Harrison Markell.+++The Rink Stories podcast is produced by Matt Hopf. Musical performances by Ken Klein, Bob Winter, and the Mo’Nobs. Follow @RinkStories on Instagram and Twitter.+++In this episode, Bob welcomes Harrison Markell, a junior defenseman for the Dartmouth Big Green. They speak about Harrison's journey from learn to skate in Andover MA to ECAC hockey in Hanover NH. Prior to Dartmouth, he was a 3-year player for the Junior Bruins, where in his final year, he was an assistant captain and the top defenseman in the NCDC. In his high school years, he was an all-ISL player with the MIddlesex School in Concord MA. And before that, he was part of a stacked 97 Valley Junior Warriors squad that in 2010 advanced all the way to the USA Hockey semi-finals. In addition to his own amazing adventure as a player, Harrison has been fortunate to play against and with some of the best kids in his age group. Bob slavishly evokes a lot of name-dropping and shares a fair amount of Dartmouth (and Cornell) hockey history.Full disclosure: Bob knows Harrison's dad since Cornell days, and there are a few issues to discuss there.

Perspectives from the Contemporary Policy Institute. Episode One, History of Public Education in the United States. Background: Product of the Enlightenment. The 1780s, France, development of the individual through state-sponsored education emphasizing critical thinking. United States Phase 1 1635, Boston Latin School became the first secondary school in the US. 1642,  New England towns required to hire teachers, but attendance not mandatory.  Reading -writing –Latin-religion- classics  Established the right to school instruction At age 7, Latin and Greek Mostly classical education modeled on British schools with religious instruction. Phase 2 1751,  Ben Franklin, Philidelphia, “useful learning.” Modern languages, history, science, navigation. Boys only.        Mostly private academies, some public subsidies. 1778 Phillips Academy, in Andover MA real business of living Southern US, different plan, public support for the poor only.  Industrialization and urbanization produce a gradual call for the state being responsible for ed for all. Germany and France lead; US and UK slower to adopt, first for poor only (charity)  Jefferson; Democracy requires an enlightened citizenry. 1779, Jefferson tries to have VA fund 3 years of universal ed; not successful. Phase 3 Up until the 1850s private, mostly religious schools predominate. 1837,  Breakthrough Horace Mann Supt of Ed for MA.  Free education through High School, but not mandatory. 1850s academics, math and reading, become common, public school att. About 59% (Elementary) 1870  MI supreme court upholds state funding for HS State-mandated Elementary education funding By 1900 31 states mandate public ed. - 8-14; only 500,000 students in HS; 3-4% go to college. By 1918 all states require some elementary ed. 1920’s, math, English, social studies, etc. Smith-Towner Bill, federal funds for public schools. Helped dissolve near-monopoly of parochial schools Ironically, partly encouraged by anti-immigrant fear of not integrating into American society. By 1950, 95% to HS. About the same today. Helped drive the success of the US economy.  Helps in promoting diversity (all go to the same school.) Provides common experience. Phase 4 Today’s challenges in public education. What do we mean by public? Movement for vouchers, charters, etc. change the idea of universal public education. Usually sold as “choice’ without mentioning taxpayer money Now for-profit players, religious and non-profit players, with specific agendas draining public schools which stick to broad universal mandate with private schools available at private cost.

On this episode of the Freecast, the Portsmouth plastic bag ban gets a reprieve from the man, but it's the man known as Jeb who wants to keep marijuana in perpetual prohibition. Is he that tone deaf to not know it's the people's volition to free ourselves from that submission? Is he just a shill for the po po and other special interest technicians? But on the bright side, FF17 tix are for sale son! Next on this transmission of the Freecast. News Update on the Plastic Bag Ban The city of Portsmouth have once again postponed a vote on a plastic bag ban and will not be brought up before the council again before being examined by Portsmouth's city manager. Former 3-term State Rep Fred Rice spoke in opposition to the ban saying the city if they proposed the ban said that by passing this ordinance the city would probably have a lawsuit against this as this ban discriminates against some businesses but not all. He noted as Matt did that businesses use the plastic bags because of economic reasons and would raise costs if they were banned. A related bill, HB 481 going through the state to delegate this power to ban plastic bags by municipalities was deemed inexpedient to legislate earlier this year. Hopefully, this will finally put to bed this insane ordinance proposal. Jim Boyle Toyota dealership update. Jim is appealing the government taking away almost 5 acres of his property due to Eminent Domain 5 alarm fire destroys State Street Saloon building in Portsmouth At 12:30 on Monday morning, Portsmouth Fire Department got a call in the Kitchen area of State Street Saloon. Within 2 hours the entire three-story building collapsed. Luckily everyone got out safely. The four-story brick building where part of the dining room was in an adjacent building is still standing and the fire dept says it is structurally sound. But may be torn down if the property owners decide because it suffered damage from the fires. The Red Cross has volunteers helping out the residents who were displaced by the fires. A GoFundMe page has been started for those affected by the State Street Saloon fire in Portsmouth at gofundme.com/state-street-residents-employees. Donations are also being collected at the Seacoast Repertory Theatre in Portsmouth. BRGR Bar of Portsmouth is offering free food to residents of the building through April with a utility bill or pay stub. Shipyard brings in $756 million in economic activity in 2016.

Shipyard workers live in more than 58 Granite State communities. Here is statism at its finest. All these jobs are paid for with either stolen money or money printed out of thin air. When libertarians want to close these places down because they're immoral and unnecessary it draws criticism from both the political left and right. Crazy state senator tries to hijack marijuana decriminalization bill State Senator Jeb Bradley is calling for major changes in a Pot Decrim bill that passed the house 318-36 last month. The bill decrims pot possession up to 1 ounce from a misdemeanor to a violation, subject to fine only of $100, and prohibits police from arresting someone for it. Jebby wants to remove the non-arrest provision. And proposed reducing the decrim quantity to ½ ounce. How tone deaf can you be? Bradley says the amendments are a response to feedback from law enforcement, feedback, I might add they had plenty of time to give during the house bill hearings but refused to. What we're looking at is a small minority of people trying to hijack liberty for the entire state population. Poll on UL.com asks: “Does it make sense to continue arresting people for small quantities of pot, like Sen Bradley suggests? 1780 respondents. 80% say no. Local happenings HUGE NEWS!!!

Philosophy of Liberty Three Sirens of Tyranny.   Seacoast History Phillips Exeter Academy Did you know we have one of the most prestigious high schools in the world? Alumni include: Daniel Webster, Franklin Pierce, Daniel Dennett, Gore Vidal, Dan Brown and Mark Zuckerberg The academy was founded in 1781 by John Phillips, a Harvard graduate banker and merchant and originally from Andover Ma. His nephew founded Phillips academy in Andover 3 years earlier. March 1783 56 students started the first class with free tuition. 1795 Phillips died and granted ⅔ of his estate to the Academy. In 1818 “the golden Branch” society was formed at the school to help students public speaking skills, now known as the Daniel Webster Debate Society Abraham Lincoln's son Todd went to the academy and the future president visited in March 1860 the year he was elected In 1930 Oil magnate and philanthropist Edward Harkness wrote a letter to the academy just before making a $5.8 million donation “What I have in mind is a classroom where students could sit around a table with a teacher who would talk with them and instruct them by a sort of tutorial or conference method, where each student would feel encouraged to speak up. This would be a real revolution in methods.” This method is pretty cool, instead of an authoritarian approach where you just have to regurgitate what the teacher says on a test and forget about it. The teacher and the students are all equals and the teacher just provides the tools for the discussion and the students lead the way. In 1970 the Academy trustees changed to have co-ed, allowing women in that fall. PEA currently has a student to teacher ratio of 5:1. 2017-2018 1 year tuition costs $50,880 for boarding students and $39,740 for day students. There are $22 million dollars available in financial aid grants which are not loans and don't need to be paid back for students from poorer families who qualify. The complex takes up more than 600 acres of downtown Exeter. ____________________ Social media Freecoast Fest will be here before you know it.
