Simon Cowell to bring spoof of X factor to the stage
- From: AP
- March 16, 2013
SIMON Cowell is bringing a spoof version of "The X Factor" to the London stage in early 2014.
The acerbic judge's firm, Syco Entertainment, is co-producing a musical sending up the popular televised singing contest and written by British comic Harry Hill and directed by Sean Foley.
Syco and Stage Entertainment say that "X Factor - It's Time to Face the Musical!" will be an "affectionate poke" at the talent show.
The firms said on Friday that the show will include 19 new songs, and that casting and the theatre have yet to be confirmed.
The X Factor launched in Britain in 2004 and in the US in fall 2011.

How are you getting the image out of Aperture?
Are you:
Exporting it via the File -> Export Menu?
Or perhaps, are you:
Dragging the Preview onto, say the Desktop and then uploading it to Costco?
Let us know your process and we may be able to advise further

Valouse Vacation Packages
From Valouse, it's 80 miles (129 kilometers) to the south to Marseille and 90 miles (145 kilometers) to the north to Lyon.
Visiting just one town or city, no matter how popular, will only ever furnish you with a narrow window into the wider textures and qualities of a region. So allow time to explore Rhone-Alpes' other cultural and natural attractions. Some interesting places in the vicinity of Valouse are Valaurie, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the east, and Rasteau, 19 miles (31 kilometers) to the northeast.
Grab some transportation and spend some time in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, a shopping and transport center for the region, located some 35 miles (56 kilometers) away from Valouse. This regional center has a range of visitor attractions, for example Chateau de Vaudieu, Chateau Fortia and Chateau de la Gardine. Chateauneuf-du-Pape has plenty to offer those keen to hang around here a little longer. Chateauneuf-du-Pape and Place du Portail are just a couple of the other sights guaranteed to delight.
If the weather forecast makes you want to head indoors, go to Rhone-Alpes' history museums, art museums and theaters. Religion is an intrinsic element of every community's DNA, so spend a little time in Rhone-Alpes' churches and other important religious sites.
If the perfect break for you involves being outside and rugging up against the cold weather, this region will be a great fit. Skiing is a popular pastime. Snowboarding is also common. The area around Valouse offers loads of excellent ways to get into its unique landscapes. Thrill seekers can enquire about one of the snowmobiling or ice skating tours on offer.
When it's time to return to your friends and family at home, you'll be bidding this special place a fond Au revoir / À bientôt (farewell).

San Francisco Archbishop's 21st Century Culture War Crusade Is All About the Sex
During the one and only debate between Republican candidate Ronald Reagan and President Jimmy Carter in the presidential campaign of 1980, Carter went off on Reagan about his record on Medicare. With one superbly delivered line – "There you go again" – Reagan disarmed and deflated Carter, and pretty much won the debate; all the while forever etching a phrase into the political lexicon.
Instead of Reagan's "There you go again," one couldn't help but think "There they go again," while reading reports that the conservative Roman Catholic archbishop of San Francisco, Salvatore Cordileone, is demanding that his archdiocese's Catholic High School teachers adhere to Catholic doctrine in their professional and private lives. Across the Bay, Bishop Michael Barber, who plowed similar ground last year -- to great consternation amongst faculty, staff and parents -- issued a new contract with a little bit of kinder, gentler language.
Cordileone's twenty-first century culture war crusade comes in the form of the archdiocese's new handbook -- aimed at faculty and staff at four Catholic high schools: Riordan and Sacred Heart in San Francisco, Marin Catholic in Kentfield and Serra High School in San Mateo – which, the San Francisco Chronicle's Heather Knight reported, declares that "sex outside of marriage, homosexual relations, the viewing of pornography and masturbation are 'gravely evil.'"
"The document," Knight pointed out, "notes that while not all staff at the schools are Catholic, they are 'required to stand as effective and visible professional participants and proponents of truly Catholic education.' Those who are not Catholic 'must refrain' from participating in organizations that 'advocate issues or causes contrary to the teachings of the church.'"
Jim Hightower | A Corporate Coup d'Etat
When I was a tyke, Momma warned me not to eat anything unless I knew where it came from. That advice is so sensible that even Congress acted on it in 2002, passing a straightforward law called Country Of Origin Labeling. COOL requires meat marketers to tell us whether the meat they sell is a product of the USA, China or Whereintheworldistan.
This useful information empowers us consumers — which is why global agribusiness giants hate it and are trying to get a secretive, autocratic, plutocratic, private court in Switzerland to kill it.
This can't be, you say? But it is. Unbeknownst to most Americans, when the U.S. joined the World Trade Organization in 1999, we surrendered a big chunk of our sovereignty to this corporate court.
Here's what's happening: (1) American consumers have a basic right to know where their meat comes from, but (2) that right has been pitted against American corn flakes and ketchup in a "trade war" that (3) is being forced upon us by a handful of corporations that produce, slaughter, butcher and package meat outside of our country but (4) are allowed under trade agreements to challenge a U.S. law that had been duly enacted for the people inside our country, so (5) America was sued in an obscure, autocratic, private organization created by and for corporate interests and headquartered in Switzerland. Then (6) that corporate "court" did indeed rule that the "profit right" of foreign meat packers is superior to our people's basic right of self-determination.
Holy Tom Paine, this is corporate tyranny! But it's about to get worse, for President Obama and Congress intend to hang another bad trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, around our necks this spring.
Ice Cream Giant Announces Plans to Stop Using Milk From Cows Treated With Artificial Hormone rBST
Breyers announced yesterday it will stop using milk from cows treated with the controversial hormone rBST. The artificial growth hormone, which stands for recombinant bovine somatotropin, is a genetically engineered hormone that farmers inject into cows to increase milk production. It's controversial because it's been linked to a slew of health problems in cows, and consequently, humans who drink the cows' milk.The ice cream giant
Bovine somatotropin (BST) is a protein hormone naturally produced in the pituitary glands of cows. Monsanto and other companies developed a recombinant version, rBST, by using a genetically engineered E. coli bacteria, according to Organic Valley. The hormone has been banned in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Israel and the European Union.
Many U.S. companies, such as Ben & Jerry's, also owned by Unilever, went rBST-free long ago. The conscientious ice cream company made the move back in 1989. Other socially conscious companies like Chipotle have opted to go rBST-free, as well as Wal-Mart, Haagen Dazs, Yoplait and Dannon yogurts that only source milk from farmers whose cows are hormone free.
Breyers plans to have most of its milk rBST-free by March. In addition to sourcing non-rBST milk, Breyers will only purchase vanilla that is certified by the Rainforest Alliance, ensuring it meets the rigorous standards of the Sustainable Agriculture Network and the Forest Stewardship Council.
Diane Rehm Examines the Dangers of Monsanto's Roundup and Dow's Enlist Duo Herbicides
The Diane Rehm Show, Diane Rehm and her guests discussed the race against pests and weeds, and the recent approval by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on Dow AgroSciences' herbicide Enlist Duo, a new combination of 2,4-D and glyphosate meant to fight chemical-resistant "superweeds."Yesterday on NPR's
This new herbicide has many in the environmental and health communities concerned because of the dangerous impacts to human health and the environment. The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and other groups sued to block the EPA's approval because they don't think the EPA considered all of the environmental and health impacts of the new herbicide. Many have joined the NRDC in calling for a new approach to pest and weed control that doesn't wreak havoc on human health and the environment.
Rehm starts the discussion by talking about the most common herbicide, Monsanto's Roundup, which she says, "is steadily becoming less effective." Erik Olson, director of the health program for the NRDC explains why that is...
How Do We Stop a Temper Tantrum War?
The urgency I feel isn't any longer to stop a particular war but to interrupt endless war: to interrupt the narrowly focused geopolitical conversation, conveyed to us over and over by media stenographers, in which lethal intervention — wherever — is always the first and only choice. The uncertainty is never a matter of "if." It's only a matter of "when."
For instance: "The West needs to bolster deterrence in Ukraine by raising the risks and costs to Russia of any renewed major offensive. That requires providing direct military assistance — in far larger amounts than provided to date and including lethal defensive arms."
The quote, which appeared in the New York Times, is from a recently issued report signed by "eight former senior American officials." It comes with an assumed certainty and seemingly impenetrable authority. "The report was issued jointly by the Atlantic Council, the Brookings Institution and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs." One of the insiders who put her name on it was Michèle A. Flournoy, "a former senior Pentagon official who is a leading candidate to serve as defense secretary if Hillary Rodham Clinton is elected president."
And that's that. It's all so pristine and scientific-seeming. Never are the consequences of military action discussed, alluded to or acknowledged in the mainstream media, even though the wreckage of our wars is all around us. That doesn't matter because grotesque, medieval hostility — beheadings, immolation — emerge from the wreckage. Unlike America's impersonal, high-tech and regrettably necessary killing, our enemies perpetrate Evil Itself. The over-the-top drama of what they do continually supplants any motivation we have to engage in political self-examination. Fear rules, but fortunately we have the technology and the bottomless budget to defend ourselves.
"What's truly 'exceptional' in twenty-first-century America is any articulated vision of what a land at peace with itself and other nations might be like," William J. Astore, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, wrote recently at TomDispatch.com. "Instead, war, backed by a diet of fear, is the backdrop against which the young have grown to adulthood. It's the background noise of their world."
"American Sniper" Takes a Shot at History and Turns It Into Deadly Jingoism
it has stirred up the Left. The Right sees the movie as one about a "patriotic American," "doing his duty to protect our country and the freedoms it stands for." The Right sees any critic of the film, as a commie, as a traitor, as "un-American," if not "un-Christian" (for after all, sniper Chris Kyle was fighting the Muslims, wasn't he?) The Left, and of course I include myself in that group, see the movie in much more complex, much starker terms, which I shall address."American Sniper" has stirred up the Right (see Fox "News" and etc.) and
In terms of the standard Right-wing propaganda lines, oddly enough, Kyle didn't see himself as "fighting to protect the American way of life" at all. Rather, when asked a direct question on a Fox "News" show, he said that he did what he did in order to protect his buddies. Then, there is the well-discussed historical fallacy that the Iraq War had anything to do with 9/11. The old canard that a representative of Saddam Hussein's government went to Prague, Czech Republic, to meet with a representative from al Qaeda and that meant that they were hooking up has long since been disposed of as a unproven and unlikely rumor. Do you really think that a secular Hussein, already facing strong threats from the United States, would have formed an alliance with a religiously-based terror organization that had originally been formed in Afghanistan by the same United States? The historical distortions are a minor tragedy, but a tragedy nevertheless.
Then there are the questions that have been raised about the movie's definition of heroism. There was a great 2001 film about the Battle of Stalingrad (one of very few US films about the Soviet role in winning World War II) called Enemy at the Gates. The hero is a Red Army sniper. The villain is a Wehrmacht sniper. But hero/villain depends very much whose side you are on, doesn't it? It's whose side he is on. To many U.S., he's a hero, but a sniper on the other side he would a wicked villain, killing people with abandon.
"Viper" Alert: Citizens United's David Bossie Is on the Prowl
You are undoubtedly aware that the financial network that Charles and David Koch have established is aiming to spend nearly one billion dollars on the 2016 elections. They'll be numerous public relations outfits, advertising firms, and media experts vying to soak up some cash. Will Citizens United's David Bossie grab a seat on the Koch Brothers' gravy train?
In 2008, the conservative movement was preparing to go balls (inflated, not deflated) to the wall against Hillary Clinton. Anti-Hillary projects were developed at a fever pitch: Books were written; documentaries readied; websites set up. Hillary: The Movie, the mother of all attack films -- produced by David Bossie and his organization, Citizens United – was to be aired on cable TV before the Democratic primaries. Everything was in place and then ... and then ... the federal government blocked the film from being aired, arguing that it wasn't a movie, but an extended political commercial. Barack Obama knocked off Clinton in the Democratic primaries, and ultimately won the White House. The best-laid anti-Clinton plans were waylaid.
For conservatives, however, all was not lost. The U.S. Supreme Court took up the case called Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. In 2010, it ruled 5-4 that spending limits in the McCain-Feingold act were unconstitutional, and that allowed virtually unlimited contributions by corporations and unions to political action committees.
Upstairs Downstairs: The US Economic System Moves Backward
This has been a busy month for me, including helping my daughter prepare for the birth of my next granddaughter, getting a bunch of surgical procedures out of the way so I can be bionic by the time I become our new arrival's caregiver after her new mum goes back to work, worrying about the role of the CIA in creating radical "Islam," and still struggling through Thomas Pretty's 600-page book on modern economics. And the more that I read in Capital for the 21st Century, the angrier I get.
According to Piketty, Europe and America have traditionally been divided into two basic classes for a long long long time: The "haves" and the "have-nots." Traditionally, the "haves" have owned the capital (most of it inherited) and the "have-nots" have provided the labor. For many past centuries, it had been pretty much upstairs and downstairs in Western economies, just like on the BBC TV series.
But then two world wars came along and totally shook up these two formerly set-in-stone class lines, creating a unique glitch in time wherein a new large middle class was suddenly born -- in both Europe and the United States.
According to Piketty, this was an almost-unique experience in Western economic history - where the wealthy were taken down a notch and the working class and poor were elevated up. However, this "accidental equality" was too good to be true for long, and the wealthy classes fought back and the dream died -- and so here we are, back again, deja vu, once more playing at "Upstairs Downstairs" like our ancestors did.
You may wish that Piketty is wrong about the recent disappearance of the new middle class? But unfortunately he's not.
US Incarceration System Facilitates Breakdown of Society
"It'd be really hard to have a higher recidivism rate than we have in Cook County."
Maybe this is the place to start a brief meditation on changing the world, or at least Chicago . . . known to some of its residents as "Chiraq."
The speaker is Elena Qunitana, executive director of the Adler Institute on Public Safety and Social Justice, which, in partnership with Roosevelt University's Mansfield Institute for Social Justice and Transformation, recently completed a study on Cook County's dysfunctional juvenile justice system.
What we're doing isn't working, justice-wise, order-wise, sanity-wise. The state of Illinois is bankrupt and yet its jails are full to bursting, at a cost, per occupant, equal to or greater than the cost of luxury suites at its ritziest hotels. And 90 percent of the teenagers who enter the system come back within three years of their release. This is no surprise: The system is a spiral of entrapment, especially for young men of color.
Why? What's the point of such a costly and ineffective system (if "effectiveness" is measured by bringing positive change rather than by simple self-perpetuation)? Bureaucratic punishment is not the answer to social disorder; instead, it's a major contributor to the disorder, shattering families and communities and branding people for life as permanent wrongdoers — "ex-felons" — yet answerable only to its own rules and procedures. It has nothing to do with . . . what's that word again? Oh yeah, healing. Deep in the hidden core of the American system of justice is a determination to dehumanize people, not rescue them.
Selma Is a Brilliant, Riveting Film, but Racism Is Still a Powerful Force in the US
Weren't the valiant, courageous actions of civil rights advocates a triumph for social justice? Did it not lead to further advances in that struggle? And if you are referring to the movie, is it not a triumph as well, getting a film that portrays one of the signal struggles of the Movement during the 60s with such searing honesty, no holds barred in dealing with the "Which side are you on?" question, applied to this event? Well, yes, the Selma March was a triumph for the civil rights movement. It played a very important role in getting Lyndon Johnson to support what became the Voting Rights Act. It did lead to further advances in that struggle. The movie is a triumph as well, a brilliantly staged and acted docudrama which, among other things, uses the real Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama, as the setting for the real march that took place across it in 1865.
Ironically enough, the bridge is named for a Confederate Brigadier General, who later, operating out of his law office, became the leader of the Alabama Ku Klux Klan in Selma and went on to become a U.S. Senator from Alabama. This is particularly ironic in the context of the Voting Rights Act and the struggle to enact it. The Ku Klux Klan was founded very shortly after the end of the civil war by an association of ex-Confederate generals, planters, certain Democratic politicians, and other white leadership who wanted to return the civil society in the South as much as possible to what it had been before the Civil War, with the exception of not having the institution of chattel slavery in place.
One of the principal objectives of the Klan, from the earliest days of its founding, was to prevent the newly freed slaves from the exercising the right to vote that had been granted to them by the 14th (1868) and 15th (1870) Amendments to the Constitution. The language of the latter is particularly instructive: "1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation." But with the power first of the Klan, with the ever-spreading denial of the vote to African-Americans, and then with the institution over a period of some years of what was called the "Jim Crow" laws by the Democratic Party in the South, African-Americans were indeed systematically denied the right that had being guaranteed to them by the 15th amendment.

Unless the garden gods really don't like us, it looks like we have seen our last frost for this winter season. With that in mind, we can begin one of the most pleasurable garden tasks: Planning for summer color.
You probably eat out a lot; most Americans do. We're all looking for fast, easy and good tasting foods to fit our busy lifestyles. Whether it's carryout, food court, office cafeteria or a sit-down restaurant, there are smart choices everywhere, but it does take some work.
In honor of National Nutrition Month, here are a month full of tips from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to help you eat healthy when eating out.
Each year in March, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates National Nutrition Month. The goal of this month-long celebration is to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits. The theme for this year's celebration has been "Savor the Flavor of Eating Right."
March is National Nutrition Month. This is the third column in recognition of this celebration. So often we hear ideas for healthy snacks for children, and this list from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics offers tips especially designed with adults and teens in mind.

Though most homeowners recognize the need to apply fertilizers to optimize plant growth, there are many challenges when selecting the "right" kind of fertilizer for your lawn or garden. However, with a little pre-planning, the appropriate use of fertilizer in the right amounts at the right time can help supplement plants with needed nutrients that may be missing in your soil.
Do I need to fertilize?
Azaleas, dogwoods and gardenias vie for the garden spotlight in the spring. It's almost like watching three starlets in designer garb preening for the camera on Hollywood's red carpet. These glamorous horticultural superstars certainly deserve the attention. But, like their human counterparts on the catwalk, they can be high maintenance with insect, disease and cultural problems.
March is National Nutrition Month. Each week this month, I'll be sharing information from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Here are their 16 health tips for 2016 that encourage a healthy lifestyle. Many of these you've heard before, but always worth the refresher.
Eat breakfast: Start your morning with a healthy breakfast that includes lean protein, whole grains, fruit s and vegetables.
It's National Nutrition Month. This recognition was started by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics back in 1973. The goal of this month-long celebration is to focus on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.
In my opinion, there is only one thing better than a big hot batch of soup on a cold winter day: leftover soup the next day. However, preparing a large batch of soup can present a food safety challenge, especially if you want safe leftovers.
This challenge: Cooling the soup down fast enough.

Though spring has seemingly been right around the corner since December, there are still some cold days ahead that will be perfect for growing fresh lettuce and other greens for the garden. Because of their relatively short germination period and excellent performance in cooler weather, leafy greens are not only a delicious, but also nutritious and space-saving addition to any garden. Even if you live in an apartment or have limited space in which you can grow, fresh greens are perfect for those small areas.

Two Possible Surprises: A Potential Twist in the 2016 Election
June 18th, 2015 // 11:48 am @ Oliver DeMille
News after News
If Elizabeth Warren runs for president in 2016, it will change the whole dynamic of the election. So far she has said she's not running, but we've heard that before from politicians who later changed their minds.
Since she first told everyone she isn't going to run, a lot has happened. For example, the Right has visited an onslaught of negative press on Hillary Clinton. It's been one criticism after another. Whether the stories are justified or not, this approach by the Right is news. As soon as one story dies down in the press, the Right pushes another one.
It's a kind of shock and awe approach to negative politics. Break one story, let it run its course, fuel it as much as possible, and be ready to put out the next story when the current one starts to lose steam. If it's not Benghazi, it's Server-Gate. Then foreign donations to the Clinton Foundation. Followed by ducking reporters. Or FIFA.
The list is long and growing. No doubt Mrs. Clinton's critics have an even longer list of additional news stories planned and ready to come out (especially now that her old emails will be released a few at a time for many months ahead).
As this continues, Clinton's support may eventually take a more significant hit than it has so far. And she's already down a bit in the polls.
But Democrats aren't very worried. Mrs. Clinton is still very popular, and if something big comes up that derails her candidacy, there's always Elizabeth Warren.
The Deal
In many ways Senator Warren is a stronger candidate than former-First Lady/Senator/Secretary Clinton. She has fewer enemies, and her name doesn't open the bank accounts of Right-Wing donors like Hillary's does. Warren isn't weighed down by a huge, national negative legacy from the past like Hillary—no Bill, no Benghazi, no Clinton Foundation, no sense of "the Clintons have their own set of rules".
And Warren isn't closely associated with President Obama like Hillary. In fact, Warren is known by many Americans mainly for standing against Obama and getting him to argue with her publicly. This makes many independents sit up and take notice. In fact, in recent polling over 60% of independents say they don't trust Mrs. Clinton.
Beyond these things, Warren commands nearly all the positives for a candidate that Hillary enjoys: strong support among women, minorities, youth, and the Democratic base. She is well liked in swing states, she is known as more politically liberal than Hillary, and she is portrayed in the media as tough, independent, and dedicated.
Warren is an excellent public speaker, a mix of fiery and thoughtful, and, if anything, she's more believable than Clinton.
In a sense, Warren is the anti-Obama of the Democratic Party. She could easily become the anti-Hillary in the presidential primaries, or the post-Hillary rescuer of the Party if Hillary hits a major scandal or roadblock.
In short, Warren is the real deal. She's "legit," as today's youth like to say. I personally disagree with her on many political issues, but I'm impressed with how she's running her campaign for president in 2016.
Playing 'What If'
True: officially there is no such campaign. But if there were, she's doing exactly the savvy thing right now:
- keep getting President Obama to mention you and sometimes argue with you
- say you're not going to run and let the Right spend its money, time and energy tearing down Hillary
- keep using your position in the Senate to weigh in on important American issues and look increasingly like a leader
- stay out of the political fray and stick to governing for as long as possible—letting the host of Democratic and Republican candidates wear each other down
If she runs, she'll almost certainly cause the Republican candidates more problems in the 2016 election than Hillary Clinton would.
With all that said, John Kasich may be the Elizabeth Warren of the Republican field. His role as Governor of Ohio gives him support in a vital swing state, and his rough-and-tumble record and disarming approach could be popular among many other swing voters as well.
Both Warren and Kasich have the "Credible" factor and the "Cool" thing going for them—they don't come across so much like politicians as the other current presidential candidates. Many voters' experience with Warren and Kasich is that they're the "grown-ups" in current politics.
Whether you agree or disagree, and however you feel about their politics, Elizabeth Warren and John Kasich are worth watching in the next twelve months. Either one, or both, could be a surprise major player in 2016.

An Obama, Adams, and Jefferson Debate
June 1st, 2015 // 6:15 pm @ Oliver DeMille
(Should Presidents be Treated Like Royalty?)
News and Fans
A strange thing happened recently. President Obama visited my state, just a quick flight and a few meetings. But to watch the state news reports, you would think the most important celebrity in all of history was visiting. The media simply fawned over the president. The news channels broke into all the nightly television programs and gave special reports. Not on some major announcement, but on…wait for it…the President arriving at his hotel.
Reporters were on the scene. Anchors cut back and forth between the reporters and expert guests opining on how long the President's day flight been and how much longer before he would arrive at the hotel. This went on and on. No news. No policies. No proposals. No events. No actual happenings.
Just a president and his entourage arriving in a plane, being driven to the hotel, and staying overnight. The reporters and other news professionals—on multiple channels—were positively giddy.
I shook my head in amazement. The American founders would have been…well, upset. At least Jefferson would. Adams? That's a different story altogether. In fact, it got me thinking.
John Adams, the second president of the United States, made a serious mistake during his term in office. He had served for a long time as ambassador to the English crown, and he picked up some bad habits in London. He witnessed the way members of Parliament treated the top ministers in the British Cabinet, and how the ministers themselves fawned over the King.
He had, likewise, watched how the regular people in England bowed and scraped to the aristocracy. Almost everyone in Britain saw every other person as either a superior, an inferior, or, occasionally, an equal. This class system dominated the culture.
And, as an ambassador of the American colonies, Adams had been pretty low on the pecking order in London. He had seen how this aristocratic structure gave increased clout to the King, to Cabinet members, and to the aristocrats. So when he became president, he wanted the U.S. Presidency to have this same sense of authority, power, and awe.
In fairness, reading between the lines, I think president Adams' heart was in the right place: He thought this would help the new nation gain credibility in the sight of other nations. He wanted the president to be treated like royalty.
But Adams forgot something very important.
Aristos and Servants
Americans weren't raised in such a class system. They found such bowing-and-scraping to the aristos both offensive and deeply disturbing. For them, this was one of the medieval vestiges of the old world that America (and Americans) had gratefully left behind. The principle behind this was simple: if we treat leaders like aristos and kings, they'll start acting like aristos and kings, and our freedoms will be in grave danger.
Moreover, Americans felt that such "prostration before their betters" was especially inappropriate where government officials were concerned. "Government leaders work for us," was the typical American view. And if the citizens start acting like their leaders are aristocrats and royalty, they'll stop thinking and acting like fiercely independent free citizens.
But still Adams wanted the people to treat the president like royalty. Jefferson was appalled at Adams' words and behavior in this regard, and his criticisms of President Adams' on this matter fueled a rift between these two men that lasted almost two decades. At times, the biting rivalry and harsh words bordered on hatred—if not of each other, certainly of the other's behavior.
Jefferson believed in a democratic culture, where each person would be judged by his choices and character—not by class background. Even more importantly, he believed that, in fact, government officials do work for the people—and the higher the office, the more they are servants of the people.
As president himself, Jefferson went out of his way to avoid and reject any "airs" or special perks of office. He saw himself as simply a man, one of the citizens, who had the responsibility to serve all the other citizens. He wasn't superior to them—he was the least of them, their servant, their humble servant.
After 8 years as president, Jefferson had established this as the way each president should be viewed: a regular citizen, serving as president while elected, but not treated as inherently royal, superior, or in any way better than anyone else. No perks, no special treatment. Yes, security for the Commander in Chief obviously needed to be different than for the average person. But other than that, no aristocratic fawning was appropriate.
Madison followed the same model, and after him Monroe. So did John Quincy Adams and other presidents through the eras of Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, and FDR. Truman angrily rejected any attempts to put him on an aristocratic pedestal.
Eisenhower rebuffed aristocratic perks both as a general and later as president, and Kennedy did the same in many ways—leaving his expensive upper-class clothes at home and dressing more like the people he worked with each day while in Washington. Reagan openly pushed against any aristocratic airs; as a movie star he was accustomed to celebrity, but clearly avoided it as president. He wanted to be a man of the people, a servant.
Generational Visions
And even while Adams tried to promote a higher level of fawning over the president, at least the media of his era had the good sense to criticize him for it. To take him to task. To note that such is not the American way.
But something changed, somewhere along the way. Was it because Kennedy was considered American "royalty" even before the presidency, or because Reagan was already a Hollywood celebrity before he occupied the White House? Or did the change come during the Clinton era, or the Bush years? (Ironic that such fawning of the Chief Executive came after Nixon.)
Or was it the way Hollywood portrayed presidents—with actors like Michael Douglas or Martin Sheen glibly spouting a sense of arrogant power and aristocratic entitlement? Did entertainment capture our national imagination?
When did we start seeing the world as classes of royals, aristos, and "regular" people? When did "celebrity" become an accepted reason for special treatment in America?
Should we respect the offices held by our political leaders? Absolutely. Should we honor those who serve? Absolutely. Too often the level of civic discourse today is coarse and angry. More respect is needed. And, just as importantly, less aristocratic fawning is needed.
I once wrote about experiencing this trend firsthand while hosting a visiting dignitary many years ago. After an evening event, we went to a restaurant. The dignitary and I naturally walked to the back of the line, but one of the other hosts hurried to the front of the line and arranged for a "VIP table." As we walked past the rest of the line, people vocally grumbled. We heard words like: "Hey, don't cut in line," and "You can wait your turn, just like the rest of us."
When the other host responded by telling the people in line the dignitary's title and name, the frustration grew louder. "We're Americans too," one man said. "We don't worship titles in this country. Wait your turn." A number of similar words were exchanged. The dignitary demanded that we go back to the end of the line just like everyone else.
Fast forward over two decades later. A similar scene. I walked with a dignitary to the back of a large restaurant line, and someone in our group arranged for us to go straight to our table. As we passed the line, people asked, "Who's cutting in line?"
But these voices weren't angry. They were just curious. "It's a celebrity," someone said. "Oh, okay," was the general consensus. "Of course. Let him ahead, then." Apart from trying to see if they recognized the person, everyone in the line seemed totally content to let a celebrity pass.
The earlier line had been made up mostly of people from the Greatest Generation and the Boomers, while the second line consisted mainly of Gen X and Millennials. The U.S. clearly changed during the two decades between these experiences. But is the change a good one?
It's an important question: Can we maintain a democratically free society when the broad culture sees people as "superiors," and "inferiors"? When we as Americans have come to see celebrities as naturally deserving special perks, and government officials as people to be submitted to? Won't that change how we vote?
Indeed, it already has.
Focus and Fawning
Would John Adams like the way Americans now treat their presidents and other celebrities? What would the British aristos of the American Founding era think of Americans today? Are we just as "domesticated" as the London populace of their time? We don't exactly "bow" yet, but have we become a nation that "bows and scrapes" before people we see as "our betters?"
And if this applies to "power celebrities," meaning government leaders, what does that say about the American people as wise stewards and overseers of freedom? Politeness is good, no doubt. But which is classier:
- A people who move aside for aristos, craning their necks to catch a glimpse of celebrity and snap a photo on their phones, or,
- A people who think everyone is an important leader because we are all citizens of a great, free nation?
Whatever Adams would think of the way many Americans now turn giddy in the presence of political leaders, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin and Madison would not like it. Jefferson would certainly call foul. This is not the way to maintain a true democratic republic.
Treat everyone like aristos, or no one. Period. That's the only way to be equal and fair.
Don't treat some like aristos and others like commoners. Because if we do, freedom will quickly decline. (It will decline more for the commoners than the aristos, by the way.) Even Adams hated such obsequiousness when he witnessed it in Europe.
Clearly, as mentioned, the security of top leaders is very important. So is the security of everyone else, but it is true that top officials and celebrities often face more frequent threats. Also, more respect in our civil discourse is needed. But the servile toadying to political celebrity by many in our current populace and even media is a disturbing trend.
Again, we should certainly be respectful of important office. But sycophancy isn't the American way—as Adams learned when the "commoners" refused to give him a second term. In fact, they instead entrusted the presidency of their nation to the leading voice of democracy and equal treatment for all citizens: Thomas Jefferson.
We should be so wise. Give us a president who stands what matters—boldly, openly, and effectively—while simultaneously rejecting the perks and "airs" of aristocracy, or worse, an Americanized royalty.
Give us a president who vocally reminds us that he or she is just one of the citizens. And who openly remembers and operates on the principle that we, the people, are the real leaders of the nation. It's time for the media servility and simultaneously smug superiority of the White House to be replaced with what our nation actually needs—quality, grown up, leadership by someone who truly understands what makes freedom tick. The people.
As for the media, focus more on policy and principles, less on ratings and the "royals who lead us." And none at all on what hotel somebody stays in. There are people with real needs in this country, and current policies are hurting millions of American citizens. Let's fix them. Starting with spending our media airtime on what really matters.

TJEd & COLLEGE PART II "Titanic Education"
June 1st, 2015 // 6:04 pm @ Oliver DeMille
(To read TJEd & College Part I, click here)
Needing Greatness
Higher education is incredibly important for today's rising generations. As the middle class dwindles and the divide between the affluent and others widens, many of the old education/career options are becoming less viable. Today's parents and young people simply must understand what is changing and how it affects them, or they will likely fall behind.
To understand what is happening, we need to step back and look at today's education/career economy for what it actually is, not what it was twenty or thirty, or even ten years ago. Consider the following:
1-For most people in our current world higher education has become "hire" education. The idea of colleges as the place of truly great leadership education for our future community, national, business and cultural leaders has been almost entirely replaced with another view: college as career training, period. There are, of course, pros and cons to this change.
2-College majors that train for careers certainly have an important place in a successful society, but now even "hire" education is experiencing widespread and increasing mediocrity. When over half of recent college grads find themselves jobless and need to move back in with their parents, the economic reality has clearly been altered.
3-Some have argued that we should stop promoting higher education to most youth and instead emphasize tech training or simplified community college requirements with direct career prep rather than broad education. But this path will only hurt our nation. We don't need such anti-college views to spread. Quite the contrary. We very much need "great" college views to spread. We need a lot more anti-mediocrity (and truly "great" higher education) views to go far and wide.
4-This is more than just philosophy. It has a direct economic impact on young people and their careers.
Let's spend some time understanding how this all shakes out. First, a seismic shift is occurring in the economy, though not everyone realizes it yet. Specifically, in 2009 the United States had 18% of the world's middle class, but it is on pace to have only 7% by 2030. ("Globalization Bites Back," The Atlantic, May 2015) This is causing some big changes. It also has important ramifications for what kind of education we should be providing for our youth right now.
How does this apply to your family? Let's start from the beginning.
There is much more to this article – including where the American standard of living came from and where it's heading; where today's parents and youth should be looking for education and jobs; why education is sinking and how to fix it; and more!

TJEd & College PART I: A Report on the Growing Importance of Higher Education
May 19th, 2015 // 6:40 am @ Oliver DeMille
The Divide
A college-level education is increasingly important in the new economy. Higher education has long created a significant divide between the "haves" and "have nots," and by all indications this trend will intensify for the next three decades.
The gap between the affluent (we'll call this the A Economy) and the middle class (the M Economy) is growing, and higher education is one of the clearest differences between these groups. The ranks of the lower classes (the R Economy—with R standing for "Risk") are swelling, as more in the middle class find themselves caught in high debt and paycheck-to-paycheck living. Again, higher education marks the divide between those in the A Economy and almost everyone else.
Moreover, as North Americans compete for well-paying jobs and economic success in an increasingly global marketplace, the old system of "college degree = secure job with good benefits" no longer holds. Fewer graduates are able to maintain their parents' lifestyle, and the middle class is dwindling.
As a result, those in the Middle Economy are left with a choice: rise to the Affluent Economy or join the Risk Economy. With career opportunities increasingly elusive for young people in this environment (in both North America and Europe), higher education has become even more important.
There is much more to this article – including where the different classes are heading; various ways of getting a great education; finding where to get your college-level education; and more!

Will College Get in the Way of Your Kids' Education?
April 28th, 2015 // 4:05 pm @ Oliver DeMille
Will College Get in the Way of Your Kids' Education?
What a controversial question!
In fact, it's downright politically incorrect. For many in the current generation of parents, this is akin to cultural heresy. But let's think about it. The top colleges depend on the SAT, or in a few cases, the ACT, and later, once students are accepted and enrolled, these schools frequently employ multiple-choice exams of the same ilk.
If such testing is our national educational scoreboard—and it is—we have a problem. As you know if you've read my articles on "Homeschooling and Testing: Parts I and Part II" I'm not a real fan of the multiple-choice test as our national standard.
Actually, I readily embrace multiple-choice exams as one part of a student's learning experience, along with essay exams, papers and projects as exams, oral exams, stand-and-show exams, and other types of testing that allow each student to truly demonstrate what he or she has learned, understands, and can do with the knowledge. But I'm against a one-size-fits all approach to testing (or to education itself, for that matter).
Like Rachel Lynde teaches in Anne of Green Gables, people who have never been parents usually think that there is one good way to parent—but people who have had children know that there is truly a different right way to parent for each child. People truly are different. This lesson is essential, and our modern testing system forgets about it.
That's bad for our nation and our future.
So, yes, I'm opposed to the way many modern classrooms teach to the standardized multiple-choice tests instead of teaching to the student. Each student's learning should be individualized, personalized, and guided by one or more caring, committed mentors.
Education Job Training
Ideal? Yes! And that's what our children deserve. Every single one of them. Why would we settle for anything less than the highest ideals in something as important as the education of our children and grandchildren?
Shame on anyone who suggests anything less than the ideal!
When I see a nation that calls itself a meritocracy but whose highest court, presidency, and a disproportional number of top corporate leaders only come from the Ivy League—at least for the past two decades—and, to get into the League requires high scores on standardized multiple-choice tests, I shake my head. It's a serious problem.
Why? Because such a system is not a meritocracy at all. There many statistics about making more money in life after graduating from a top school, and about making more if you've finished college, but there is one that really stands out. Most people don't know about it, but it's true. The statistics are clear: on average, the richer the family of the student who takes the SAT, the better the student scores. (Leon Botstein, TIME, March 24, 2015)
So, of course these students make more money in their life. In fact, the students of the wealthy who don't complete top colleges also do financially better, on average, than the students of the poor or middle class—including many of those who do graduate from college. Call it elitist, aristocratic, or whatever you want, but this system isn't a genuine meritocracy.
The common response to such a conversation is that universities need such tests to decide which applicants to accept—since college is all about job training nowadays. Well…I'm going to let that pass without argument, even though I very much disagree that universities should be mainly about career training.
But if schools are going to focus on career prep, then multiple-choice tests as the constant in the system are deeply flawed. As Leon Botstein wrote in TIME magazine: "The SAT is part hoax, part fraud." The magazine also called it "a scam". (Ibid., cover, 17) Why? Because, in Botstein's words:
"[T]he test can't predict a kid's future…. As every adult recognizes, knowing something, or knowing how to do something, in real life is never defined by being able to choose a 'right' answer from a set of possible options (some of them are intentionally misleading) put forward by nameless test designers.
"No scientist, engineer, writer, psychologist, artist or physician pursues his or her vocation by getting right answers from a set of prescribed alternatives that trivialize complexity and ambiguity." (Ibid., emphasis added.)
Quality tests reflect reality, not an imaginary matrix that allows a few experts to determine what they want our whole nation of children to learn (or not learn), and which type of learner they prefer to favor, whom they want to succeed. The key phrase in the whole subject of standardized, national testing such as the ACT and SAT comes from the same TIME article: "nameless test designers."
A Skewed Approach
This is incredibly important to the future of our society. If the test writers were widely and openly known, by name, with a bio and a video of each of them talking about their core beliefs, political and cultural views, most important aspirations and goals, and perspectives on various important current issues and societal concerns, such tests would almost immediately end.
Parents and educators would watch such video clips (easily posted online with today's technology), and the tests would immediately lose their credibility. I don't say this because I know the test designers. I don't. But I am convinced, based on reading and analyzing many of these exams, that they have an agenda.
How could they not? They are the Choosers in our "meritocracy." They are the Givers. Their exams determine who will win and who will lose the contest—to get into the top institutions of higher learning. They are much more powerful than the Electoral College or the Senate Judicial Committee. In fact, to a large extent, they unofficially but actually choose who will or won't be eligible for selection by these very groups in the future.
If they openly told us who they are, why they write the tests the way they do, and what they stand for and against, we could evaluate whether we want our kids and grandkids to have the kind of education that is specifically taught in most schools (for the very purpose of excelling on exams written by, planned, and designed by these people). With such transparency, even if they maintained the support of a few, they would lose the support of many others.
And that would be good for our nation. Other types of testing would arise, and the market would support other competing agendas—by other test designers with competing views and goals—not just the one proscribed by this generally unknown group of "Givers" who select our future national leaders each time they create, approve, and/or reject a test question.
If we're going to continue to be nation run by the test designers (who parents and teachers unwittingly hold up as the key to each child's future), we should interview each of them and know that our kids are in good hands. If they aren't open to such transparency, then why do we give them so much power over our children? And over our nation's future?
Building a child's education around meeting the demands and agendas of this group of unseen people—simply because it is "necessary for college," at least if we teach to the test (and the more people care about the test, the more likely they are to do this)—is a bit strange. It's akin to living in the 19th Century and using leeches to bleed a sick person because the "experts" assure us it is an excellent practice.
Really? Is that how we want to approach education?
The Way Things Are
I'm all for great education. For rigor and depth and intense study—especially among teens and college-age learners. I think testing is an important part of quality learning.
But the current system has it all wrong.
If your young person gains an education that is defined and driven by the standardized national tests in math, science, social studies, and language arts, then yes, college has very much gotten in the way of his or her education. It has narrowed it, milked out much of the natural passion for learning, and infused it with large doses of rote.
That's what teaching to the tests usually requires. It has also bent your child's education in a direction with a specific social/political agenda that many parents don't support—but don't know about.
Of course, it's important to note that for the most part teachers have no control over this. Many teachers manage to do an excellent job of real teaching even though they have this system to overcome. And, as mentioned, few parents realize what is actually going on. They just want their kids to get into a good college.
In truth, I have no problem with young people taking these standardized exams. To get into college, it's necessary. So take them. Sure.
But the problem arises, 1) in throwing out some of your child's great educational opportunities to focus on teaching to the tests, and 2) in seeing their test scores and thinking you've won, or lost.
And, on the national level, the even worse problem is 3) that we're no longer much of a meritocracy, because we've turned over the determination of "merit" almost exclusively to a group of behind-the-scenes "Givers".
Far too many parents, educators, and others just go along with all three of these problems because "that's the way things are."
But they shouldn't be this way.
And that's my point. That's what the idea of America was once all about—to make things the way they should be, to improve things that aren't right, to fix the broken, and to choose true principles over bad customs. To put what's right ahead of mere profit or promotion.
The Important Questions
These are by far the most important lessons in anyone's education.
By far!
Without these lessons, no education is complete.
We can still teach these things, and parents have a lot of power to do so. But these things aren't being taught on the SAT or ACT, nor in the teach-to-the-test lessons that precede these exams and dominate many schools. Nor, sadly, are they taught in most of the college classrooms that come after the long-coveted Elite University acceptance letter.
They're going to have to be taught elsewhere.
Which brings us to this one central, vital, question:
How, where, and from whom are your kids going to learn them?
Seriously: Where?
From whom?
Not most schools. Not most universities. Not TV or the movies. Not surfing the Internet.
If parents don't teach them, they probably won't get taught.
And that's going to drastically influence the future of America.
Which brings us to the final test, the real exam, the essential question every parent needs to answer:
What are you going to do about this in your home?
Here's what we're doing about it:

Yellow Chakra T-Shirt by Yogacara
Very comfortable and classy looking for a T-shirt.
Great tee; shrinks a lot
This is a great tee in a very pleasant yellow. The only bad thing is that it immediately shrank even though I didn't put it in the dryer, and when it shrank, it shrank lengthwise. If you have a long torso, you might not want to order this, or plan to wear another tee or cami under it.
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Very accurate
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Great except for the shrinking
- How accurate was the sizing? Very accurate

I am not a overclocker so I cannot comment on its overclocking ability. But since it operates on 1.5V I am sure there is plenty of headroom for overclocking as long as one has adequate cooling set-up.
Lower power consumption was one of the factor I was looking into so 1.5V is also a plus although one could 1.35V memories (I dont think I saw 16GB 1600MHz 1.35V though!).
In summary - I am very pleased with these modules from Crucial. They are being used in my file server at home, and after a 48 hour test period using MEMTEST86, they are now running unRAID with a number of plugins and add-ons.
Some aluminium heatsinks cover the chips, looking like they might help a little bit to manage heat on the RAM, but not all that much. BUt then these aren't super-duper RAM chips so hopefully they won't get all that hot! Installation is simple. No changes needed to my PC, it just recognised and started using the extra memory straight away.
If you're struggling along with 4Gb or 8Gb of memory and you do a lot of graphics/video intensive work this could be a great upgrade.
If the memory module (RAM) that you need is: DDR3, DIMMs, 1600MHz, PC3, 12800, 204-PIN etc, and the maximum memory is 16GB, 32GB or even 64GB, then this one should be fine.
There might be 2x memory sockets or 4x or even 8x inside your PC, as long as one socket can hold up to 8GB, then this one should be fine, but if it's for 4GB, don't use this one as it's 8GB.
FYI, if your PC is a 64-bit system, normally one memory socket can hold up to 8GB, so if you have 4x sockets then you can upgrade it to up to 32GB (4x 8GB). If your PC is a 32-bit system, then probably a socket can hold up to 4GB so this RAM won't work. So check the specifications of your PC first and check the memory type that you can put in your PC.
Memory modules with high capacity aren't cheap, but they're getting much cheaper than before, and this is a famous brand Crucial, so that's good for my reassurance too.

Sudan Signs Peace Deal Ending North-South Conflict
Sudanese leaders sign an historic power-sharing agreement that is expected to end decades of civil war between the northern government and southern rebels.
The deal ratified by Sudan's vice president and a rebel leader comes after more than eight years of negotiations. Some 2 million people are estimated to have died in the struggle. The continuing conflict in and around Darfur, where tens of thousands have died in the country's west, is not affected by the accord.

Maybe i am making it to hard (and i should just look for a prefix of
./ and
../) but I don't want to re-invent the wheel and write a function to correctly detect relative paths (for all platforms, etc.)
Existing library?
Are there
npm packages that do this? Surely this problem has been solved...
Barring an existing library, my intended approach was to use the
path module functions to
join the possibly relative path to a known prefix, and then see what the result was, with the assumption that
path.join('some_base', possiblyRelative) would allow some sort of distinguishing characteristic in a platform safe way.
Any other suggestions? Approaches?

The Robert S. Peabody Museum is one of the nation's major repositories of Native American archaeological collections. Major collections include materials from the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Mexico, and the Arctic, and range from Paleoindian (10,000+ years ago) to the present day. Since its founding in 1901 through the bequest of Robert Singleton Peabody, the museum has been an important center for archaeological research and education. An 1857 graduate of Phillips Academy with a passionate interest in archaeology, Peabody wanted to encourage young people's interest in the sciences, and to foster respect and appreciation for Native American peoples who have inhabited this hemisphere for thousands of years.
