JUPITER'S DARLING is an offbeat MGM musical with many entertaining elements. Famous as one of the musical flops of MGM's 1955 output (which included KISMET and IT'S ALWAYS FAIR WEATHER)which all but ended the MGM musical -as well as the contracts of some of its major participants- the movie generally received critical praise in its day and still has a "fan base" today. The credits for the film are eye-opening.It is based on a landmark play of 1927 entitled THE ROAD TO ROME which dealt humorously with Hannibal's march on Rome but was in fact a plea against war.It's author, Robert Sherwood, died the year of the film's release and amongst his other stage and screen work are titles such as The Petrified Forest,Idiot's Delight, Rebecca and The Best Years of Our Lives.Though much changed to accommodate the aquatic talents of Esther Williams and the form of the screen musical, generous amounts of Sherwood's witty and even racy dialogue survive. At a time when the period epic was in its full CinemaScope bloom (egs. THE ROBE, THE Egyptian) it's refreshing to see the genre being lampooned in such a tongue-in-cheek manner. Esther even spoofs her own underwater ballets in the I HAD A DREAM sequence (the best song in a somewhat underrated Burton Lane score)and has another dramatically exciting underwater scene in a later reel. Vocally strong as ever,Howard Keel is robust and virile as Hannibal (who in one funny scene reveals a fear of water and an inability to swim-surely an "in-joke" considering his co-star!)and the supporting cast (Marge and Gower Champion,George Sanders,Norma Varden,William Demarest and Richard Hayden) all get great moments. The direction is by one of MGM's best musical directors, George Sidney (The Harvey Girls, Show Boat, Pal Joey) and the inventive wide screen cinematography is by Paul C. Vogel and Charles G.Clarke,two of the best D.P.'s of the day. (Clarke shot CAROUSEL for Fox magnificently one year later).Written for the screen by MGM contractor Dorothy Kingsley (Seven Brides,Kiss me Kate)and budgeted at possibly the biggest figure for an MGM musical at that time, the film is a visual stunner with unique merits which outweigh its flaws.(One complaint- MGM cut the reprise of I HAVE A DREAM by Williams(dubbed) and Sanders (not dubbed) which was followed by a sizzling dance by the Champions.A faded out-take on the laserdisc edition at least allows buffs to view this now!)
A legendary MGM flop, one of the big musicals reputed to have helped kill off big musicals. And it's pretty silly in spots, with a buff Gower Champion singing lyrics like "If this be slavery/ I don't want to be free!" and song-and-dance cues arriving perfunctorily. But it's also an enterprising effort at keeping a dying genre alive, with plenty of sung-lyric exposition by Richard Haydn as a bewildered historian, and more plot-song integration than most MGM musicals attempted. It's also sexier than the average musical, quite frank about why Hannibal kept delaying his attack on Rome, and with plenty of chemistry between Esther Williams and Howard Keel in the main plot and the Champions as the secondary, comic-relief couple. The Burton Lane-Harold Adamson songs aren't great, but they aren't terrible, and for such a huge production, it's surprisingly light on its feet and irreverent. There's a fairly exciting, well-edited chase-through-the-water climax, and if Dorothy Kingsley's screenplay doesn't achieve the Shavian heights it's attempting to scale, it's smarter than most musical screenplays of the day. The wide screen is well filled, and the thing moves quickly. Well worth a look.
Esther Williams, Howard Keel, and husband-and-wife dancing team Marge and Gower Champion star in this musical about Hannibal. I went into this a little wary, but wanted to see one of Esther's lesser-known films. Granted, it may have earned a somewhat campy and corny reputation, but I found as I got deeper and deeper into it, that I really enjoyed it. What's a little ingenious about it, is that they worked in an Esther Williams swimming interlude in a dramatic way, as she is being chased. And, the great supporting cast of George Sanders, William Demarest, Douglas Dumbrille and Richard Haydn helps a lot. And, both Howard Keel and Esther are very believable as these mythological characters, she so beautiful and he so big, virile, and commanding. This is the type of film, that one will have the dialogue and especially the songs memorized from watching this over and over, because it's so much of a guilty pleasure. I definitely am going to see this again soon. I was going to give this a seven, given the fact this isn't one of Esther's top successes, but it's just so enjoyable, that I give it an '8.' After all, who cares what movie critics think? Just sit back and enjoy the histrionics of Hannibal and Amytis. By the way, do you think this is accurate?
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Howard Keel in his career at MGM did three original musicals with them,
two of them with Esther Williams as co-star. The first was an
unpretentious charming piece called Pagan Love Song with Esther
Williams, the second was the incomparable Seven Brides For Seven
Brothers and the last is Jupiter's Darling. Sad to say it's the worst
of them.
I'm not sure that musicals and spectacle go together. I've not seen anything quite as dumb as Hannibal's men singing as they march off to sack Rome. To be sure classical times have proved a good basis for musical comedy. Rodgers&Hart's The Boys From Syracuse, Cole Porter's Out Of This World, and By Jupiter from Rodgers&Hart again all did well on Broadway. But the material was lighter to start with.
Burton Lane and Harold Adamson contribute a very mediocre score for Jupiter's Darling. Keel certainly sang better material than this on the screen. The film picks up considerably when Esther Williams is in her tank at MGM, she has a nice water ballet sequence and her swimming skills are utilized during an escape scene.
Marge and Gower Champion have a couple of numbers also. I did like the dance they did with the elephants.
Howard Keel had a rough shoot according to his memoirs. A leopard would have done serious damage to him. had he not been wearing the armor which deflected the leopard's claws. He also said that during the final confrontation scene with George Sanders he found the lines so ridiculous as did Sanders the two of them got the giggles and had to shoot it separately. Keel said that when Hannibal says he'll accept Esther Williams as payment for not sacking Rome, Sanders in his Roman toga costume looked like a bordello madame when he said we have many other girls to offer you. He told Sanders this and the two of them couldn't finish the scene together after numerous takes.
I couldn't also help thinking that if Hannibal was satisfied with one woman, how was he going to explain it to the rest of his men who were looking forward to some booty of their own?
Unless someone tells you in advance that "Jupiter's Darling" is a
spoof, you may be like me and wonder through the first part of the film
exactly what you are watching. I thought it was a badly made "serious"
musical. And I wonder if calling it a "spoof" forgives a film for its
bad elements? Bad dancing. Stilted lyrics. Questionable artistic
choices. Awkward moments. The beginning of this film is plagued with
them. Once you take the film to be a spoof, some of them can be
forgiven--IF you are sure that the silliness is intentional. I am not
sure all of it is.
When Esther Williams sings "I Had a Dream", you might be surprised to hear her sing. I was. Then I learned that it was dubbed by Jo Ann Greer. Good choice of singer, because it sounds like Esther's voice. Note that she sings while swimming. That's a little awkward. And then the number turns (appropriately) into a dream sequence. Even if you find the film less than excellent, it's a number that is interesting--filmed to give the illusion that it was done without coming up for air.
Howard Keel, as Hannibal, is the romantic interest. He lends his booming voice to some silly lyrics. I had the recurring impression I was listening to The Grinch.
Another interesting thing: the opening line of one song ("Don't Let This Night Get Away") sounded remarkably like the opening line of "A Woman in Love" from "Guys and Dolls", released the same year.
Besides the underwater dance sequence I mentioned, there is another that is worth seeing for its uniqueness. Marge and Gower Champion sing "The Life of an Elephant" while dancing among elephants that perform tricks. Both sequences must have been tedious to film.
One element that that I found superior throughout was the costuming.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Featuring two then top stars in yet another 'battle of the sexes'
musical, which Keel had done, in quite different settings, with Betty
Hutton, Doris Day, Jane Powell, and a couple times with Kathryn
Grayson(the ones I'm familiar with). I'm quite surprised how obscure
this film has become. I wasn't aware of its existence until seeing it
on TCM today. Here, an attempt is made to amalgamate Keel's recent
style of musicals with Esther's swimming forte, and the then popular
Hollywood format of lavish productions sited in the ancient classical
world. On the whole, I think it was rather successful , despite the
lack of any memorable songs. At least, it was more entertaining than
most of the 'straight' ancient spectaculars, although actual battle
scenes were minimal
Amazing to realize this was the third film pairing of Keel and Esther, although the first in 4 years. None of them have garnered an IMDb mean rating above 6.0, and all are mired in obscurity today. The styles and settings of these 3 films couldn't be more different. I rated "Pagan Love Song" well above average, featuring Keel much more than Esther. The lower -rated "Texas Carnival" actually more belongs to the supporting actors: Red Skelton and Anne Miller.
With full beard to enhance his supermasculine image, the tall robust Keel seems like he had just stepped out from a take of "Kiss Me Kate", in which he plays an often bombastic tamer of a notorious shrewish medieval maiden(Grayson's character). As in this former film, Keel's interactions with Esther's character, Amytis, vacillate from threats or attempts to kill her to a desire to make love to her. This makes for quite a stormy and unpredictable twosome, once these 2 meet, which doesn't happen until well into the film. Esther even sometimes sports reddish hair, in mimicry of Grayson's dyed reddish hair during her role as a shrew.
Meanwhile, we have hordes of soldiers and war elephants ,marching around, threatening to destroy Rome, after several victorious battles. Keel sings his alliterative 'Victory March', at the head of his marching troops. At times, the elephants enhance a circus-like atmosphere. For example, in the segment where Gower and Marge Champion, as a subsidiary romantic couple, tease each other, and sing and dance a bit in the presence of several elephants. Also, near the end, we have a string of elephants, each painted a different color.
Amytis(Esther) sees it as her role to try to seduce Hannibal and convince him that he really doesn't want to destroy Rome. You see, she's betrothed to General Fabius Maximus(George Sanders), Hannibal's main opponent. Fabius is characterized as more cultured than the barbaric Hannibal, but also decidedly a less sexy catch to Amytis. Thus, the final deal is to exchange Amytis for Hannibal's guarantee not to destroy Rome(no historical basis). Yes, a very unlikely agreement, given the historic Hannibal's extreme hatred for Rome and vice versa.
Esther's big 'solo' scene has her cavorting with a bevy of marble male statues around a pool, which represent the physical form of her ideal lover, while singing(dubbed) "I Had a Dream". This is followed by an extended playtime in the pool, which also contains a variety of underwater male and cherub statues, which eventual 'come alive' to cavort with her. Quite a sophisticated production, which can currently be seen at YouTube. I still find it amazing that such water ballets could be done looking like they never had to surface.
It may interest you that, once again, Esther's left eardrum ruptured during filming: a recurring problem in her films. From then on, she had to wear a plastic prosthesis covering her nose and ears during her water scenes. Also, she refused to be on the horse when it galloped off a high cliff, into the Tiber River(supposedly). She had broken her neck just 2 years before from a high dive while making "The Million Dollar Mermaid", and didn't want to chance a possibly lethal repeat. As it turned out, her stuntman broke has back from this fall!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
This film was a hoot! And for a spoof it's humour was subtle (at times)
and generally amusing.
I just loved the opening splash screen - something along the lines of: "the year 216 BC Hannibal marched on Rome. The history of this great march has been confusing. This film will do nothing to clear it up" I giggled then and many more times throughout. Sad that it was a flop. If you want interesting aquatic action with wonderful Esther, then the first one is a cracker. The music, for me was pleasant and completely unmemorable. Loved it, made me smile for its self-indulgent silliness!
The crowd scenes are impressive and the costumes impressive but the scene with the ballet dancing pachyderms was just too much. Damned shame Hannibal didn't appear naked in the river as he was gorgeous.
Even a good cast can't quite put this one over the top--elephants and
all. The choreography is about as original as the score which includes
not a single really memorable tune.
Wasted in this nonsensical romp are Esther Williams and Howard Keel in the leads, both given only a few moments to shine. Esther does some interesting underwater swimming with statues that come to life and dives off a cliff with acrobatic skill. Keel struts around as Hannibal with energy and humor and even lifts his voice in song a few times, although the tunes are hardly worthy of his manly baritone.
George Sanders, Richard Haydn, Norma Varden, William Demarest and Marge and Gower Champion are largely wasted and cannot overcome a script that is unintentionally funny even in serious moments. Uninspired direction from George Sidney is no help.
Summing up: Attempt at originality utterly fails in this unusual Esther Williams film. The Champions have a truly wretched dance number with some elephants that takes up far too much time.
I had wanted to see this film for a long time since I like Esther Williams, Howard Keel and the Champions. I saw it last night on TCM. What a let down. Not one good, memorable song, no real story and even the dance numbers were uninspired. This could have been a real killer of a movie but it just sort of puttered along on two cylinders, not good enough to be enjoyable but not quite bad enough to say the heck with it and give up. Esther's fantasy swimming number with the living statues is the high point. Howard Keel has no song worthy of his talent and the Champion's dance number with the elephants goes on way too long. The other reviewers have pretty much said it all. The fact that this film is not included in ANY of the Esther Williams DVD collections says a bunch.
Only for fans of the stars or MGM Musicals completists, like me. I've
gotta collect them all! Of course this one was made during the decline,
as Dore Schary took over the studio and he was *not* a fan of musicals.
So, the songs are weak and there's more emphasis on spectacle & action
- mixed in with comedy & romance. But the mixture doesn't blend very
well. Each genre/character is underdeveloped and unsatisfying. For
instance, if you enjoy action/war movies, you may be disappointed with
a few chases, brief hand to hand combat...no epic battle, unless you
count a little flame-throwing and battering at Rome's gates. Sorry, no
bloodshed! (And I know you were expecting it from a movie with
"Darling" in the title.)
Marge & Gower Champion are kind of wasted. They have one major number where they parade around with trained elephants. It's lame. I mean, they mostly hop around on one foot (yes, the elephants too) and the Champions are definitely limited by their dancing partners. Not their best choreography. Corny bits like mimicking an elephant's trunk, etc.
Esther Williams has one memorable underwater ballet with some statues that come to life, but other than that, her swimming abilities are used in more plot-driven ways than usual. Most unsettling is an extended chase sequence where soldiers chase her off a cliff and swim after her, trying to kill her...with bows and arrows...underwater! Is that even possible? It's *definitely* impossible to hold your breath for that long. (Something we don't normally question when Esther's underwater sequences are more lighthearted.) Why combine an air of "realistic" menace with such a fantastical premise? Let our fantasy be...fun! It was actually disturbing to see Esther menaced this way, in her "natural" habitat. She should always be grinning that big toothy grin at the camera and frolicking in the water happily. Don't mess with the natural laws of Esther Williams movie physics!
Howard Keel plays his usual charming brute, but maybe a bit too brutal this time, since he's a conquering warrior. Uncomfortable watching him manhandle Esther Williams, hold a knife to her throat, etc. Aaah, love! Marge & Gower also have this slave/master subplot that's pretty offensive. I suppose it's some consolation that she refuses to "be" an elephant...like all the "other" elephants he has trained to *obey* him. Uhh, love?
Not much fun to see George Sanders play an ineffectual mama's boy who can't get the girl. He can be suave and charismatic, but not here. I mean, he does what he's meant to...I just don't enjoy seeing him play a buffoonish sort. Would've been better if he was presented as a charmer with wit and intellect to rival Howard Keel's more robust, earthy qualities. A different, but equally attractive choice, to make Esther's decision less obvious. (But I'm not spoiling anything here by revealing Esther & Howard end up together - c'mon, they're the leads, and we know how these movies work!) Sure, Sanders' speech-making ability is acknowledged, but also ridiculed - and Esther doesn't bother to show up for the speech, so we get the message that Sanders is boring... dangit, some women *like* smart, articulate men! They could've created another supporting character who falls for Sanders, proving him a valid love interest who's just not right for *Esther*, since she and Howard are more physical/less intellectual types. Oh well.
Wow, I don't remember how any of the songs go. They really *are* forgettable. So, it's easy to see why this movie failed to please the Box-office Gods and led to the fall of the Great MGM Empire! I'd buy it on DVD anyway, especially if that outtake musical number from the Laserdisc (mentioned by a previous reviewer) is included. Curious to see Marge & Gower's deleted dance...it's got to be better than the Elephant Walk Of Shame.

So here's the Cuomo administration ordering a private audit of how the money to rebuild after Superstorm Sandy, so difficult to obtain in the first place, was actually […] [Read More]
Long story short
We weigh in briefly on Niskayuna school lunch, a lawsuit over soda, and good deeds in Colonie. Drink your soda! Don't touch those vegetables! Those are, of course, just some silly twists on a couple of timeless parental nags, right? Not quite. Those are the messages kids are getting lately, from educators in Niskayuna and […] [Read More]
NYRA bosses have some nerve
Our opinion: Charles Hayward and two of his colleagues are demanding buyouts. What would that cost NYRA's image? Here we thought we were done with Charles Hayward. He was fired last year as the head of the New York Racing Association. It was with good cause, too: his connection with a scam that overcharged bettors by […] [Read More]
Call this reform? More like a sham
Our opinion: A proposed constitutional amendment on redistricting would leave the Legislature as in control of the process as it is now. Voters should reject it. It's not surprising that a constitutional amendment to create an allegedly independent redistricting process in New York sailed through the state Legislature once again. This supposedly "independent" process is […] [Read More]
Mr. Cuomo's budget overture
Our opinion: The governor proposes limits on spending and no new taxes. This year's legislative battle could be a less contentious one. Gov. Andrew Cuomo talked of the twin goals of fiscal stability and social progress as he outlined his state budget proposal on Tuesday. In a poorly governed state — like, say, New York for […] [Read More]
New term, new hope
Our opinion: The president laid out an ambitious and necessary agency at the start of his second term; the onus is on Republicans in Congress to decide if they're willing to compromise. Now that President Obama doesn't have to worry about being re-elected, and Republicans don't have to worry about it, either, would it be […] [Read More]

Marathoners these days see little need for speed
Cross' vision isn't that poor.
"Running at the back of the pack like that, I'm running with a lot of young women," he said. "All different sizes and shapes. You get a good view because of the way they're dressed for running. Don't tell my wife that."
Multiple factors have contributed to increased participation in marathons. Charity organizations such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training have appealed particularly to women, who raise money to battle cancer while accomplishing a difficult lifetime achievement.
The Rock 'n' Roll Marathon has featured more female finishers than men every year since 2005.
The Internet spawned new training programs, and Oprah Winfrey, who ran the 1994 Marine Corps Marathon in 4 hours, 29 minutes, proved you don't have to be a lithe Kenyan to run 26.2 miles.
Mira Mesa's Erin Duffy, 35, wanted to run a marathon for two common reasons: to cross it off life's to-do list and to lose weight.
She has run three marathons and lost 35 pounds, never running faster than 5:31.
The experience, she said, "changed who I am. I'm more social. It expanded my group of friends. Most of my friends didn't run. They think I'm crazy. Now I run with 200 people who are just as crazy as I am."
She doesn't apologize for her modest pace.
Said Duffy, "How many people in San Diego can say they've run a marathon?"
Bay Park's Michael Morton plays recreational soccer, bodysurfs, snorkels and skis. He intentionally holds back in marathons because he lives the active San Diego lifestyle and doesn't want to spend time rehabbing an injury.
"Play hard, work hard," said Morton, 51, who finished last year's Rock 'n'Roll in 5:49. "But don't play so hard you can't play the next weekend."
Hartle offered a simple explanation for why he's slow. He calls himself president of the fictional Short Fat Guys Club. At 5 feet 10 inches and 250 pounds, Hartle is XXL as runners go but downright svelte compared with his former 355-pound self.
Dieting and hiking helped him lose the weight. Sunday's marathon will be his 10th.
Hanging out at the back of the pack has provided Hartle some memorable experiences. In Maui, he saw one runner pull off the road to smoke a cigarette. In Sacramento, he finished so late he came in after California Highway Patrol officers were clearing the course.
At a Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, a faster runner hung with Hartle and was surprised Hartle was high-fiving cheerleaders and playing air guitar with one of the bands.
"No wonder you don't finish any faster," the friend said. "You're out here goofing off."
To which Hartle replied, "You should stop and smell the coffee like I do."

Recent Wilmington Reviews
Great getaway weekend with the family.
The Condo was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Very convenient to WhiteFace Mtn and the town of Wilmington. It was clean and well maintained.
Perfect for Ironman weekend
Just spent a week at this cottage in Wilimington and loved it! Clean, spacious and perfect for both a small family or a large group (we ranged from 4 to 12 people over the weekend). Great access to Plattsburgh, Lake Placid, Ausable Forks, Whiteface Mt and for Ironman spectators- you're just a quick 5 minute drive to the Ironman bike course in Wilmington and 10 min. to the Ausable Forks out-and-back portion of the bike. I really appreciate all the small touches at the cottage- tons of clean towels, sheets and blankets, books and dvd's for all ages, kitchen and bathroom essentials are well stocked and the private setting of the cottage made this ideal for our stay. Thanks so much, we'll be back again soon.

Since Dwight's departure, Andy had been clinging to Michael. Andy's antics had been wearing very thin on his co-workers. In fact, Andy left Jim actually wishing Dwight would come back.
Oscar returned to work from his "gaycation". Angela took it upon herself to ask Oscar if he wanted to be part of the all-female party planning committee. He wanted to know if he was only asked because he was gay. Angela broke down and started crying and Oscar agreed to join the committee in hopes she would stop crying.
Andy was getting on Jim's nerves and Jim wanted to pull an ultimate prank on him. He asked Karen to go in with him on the prank, but she declined, as did Ryan. Jim eventually went to Pam and she enthusiastically agreed to go along with Jim in pulling a prank on Andy.
Since Dwight's resignation from Dunder-Mifflin, he got a job at Staples. He was doing well in the sales department, but creeping out some of his customers. He also wasn't rubbing his co-workers the right way.
Michael ordered a Mexican party in celebration of Oscar's return. This meant Mexican lemonade and pi'atas. Pam tried to get assistance from Angela, who appeared to be very sad. She confirmed that she was sad. She later admitted to Michael the real reason why Dwight went to New York, to do the job she forgot to do.
Jim and Pam teamed up and stole Andy's phone when he was not looking. Jim hid the phone in the ceiling of the office and he and Pam took turns calling it. This was driving Andy mad, especially when he kept hearing his ring tones, but couldn't tell where they were coming from. Andy was becoming unhinged in front of all his co-workers.
After Andy punched a hole in Michael's office wall, Michael went on a mission to find Dwight at Staples. Michael admitted his mistake in accusing Dwight of hitting on Jan. He said Angela came clean with everything. Dwight realized that Angela didn't come clean out their relationship and was disappointed. Michael wanted Dwight to come back to Dunder-Mifflin and Dwight accepted the job offer.
After witnessing how close Jim and Pam were getting, Karen was becoming insecure with her own relationship. She got Jim alone and asked him he still had feelings for Pam. Jim paused for a moment and admitted that he did still have feelings for her. Karen collected her thoughts and then left the room.
Dwight returned back to Dunder-Mifflin. Angela was delighted that her knight in shining armor was back to work. Oscar's party all of a sudden had turned in Dwight's party, complete with Dwight getting the first crack at all the pi'atas.

American Music Education: A Struggle for Time and Curriculum
Article excerpt
Music teachers are normally an optimistic and progressive group. Over the past few years, however, I have heard more and more of my public school music colleagues say that they feel worn-out and frustrated by recent developments affecting American music education.
In Illinois, where I teach, school districts have cut fine arts funding and even have eliminated music and fine arts programs altogether. Poorer and richer schools alike have experienced these cuts; few music programs have gone unhurt, including the district where I have taught music and currently serve as a middle school principal. During a two-year period, we cut one full-time staff position, eliminated our beginning band instruction, and canceled the school musicals and two performing groups. Our earned reputation as a school that supported music education did not stop these program cuts from becoming reality.
What is the current state of American music education? From my perspective as a public school practitioner, I believe that music education programs are in jeopardy nationwide. Aside from issues directly related to funding--issues that are vast, complex, and largely tied to the funding mechanisms provided by states and local school boards--I believe that music education must solve two lingering issues related to time and curriculum.
Was the American education system at risk of failure? In 1983, the National Commission on Excellence in Education released its landmark report, A Nation at Risk, chronicling myriad problems in America's schools. Among the findings, the report concluded that American children spend much less time in school than their international peers. For example, American students attend for approximately one hundred and eighty days for six or seven hours per day, while students in England may spend up to eight hours per day and twenty more days per year in school than their American counterparts. The report also questioned the elective curriculum philosophy whereby students would choose their own course schedule and individual curriculum path in junior high and high schools. The report advocated a more prescriptive curriculum that focused on language arts, math, and science.
A Nation at Risk spurred a decade of additional studies and reports attempting to address these issues. Music and fine arts education were not immune. In 1988, the National Endowment for the Arts released its own ambitious study of arts education in American schools, Toward Civilization. The study found that American music education focused mainly on performance ensembles and performance skills, while largely ignoring musical understanding. It appeared to the authors that music education programs were providing talent education for a few children, instead of reaching a broader audience by teaching musical understanding to all children.
The ultimate impact of these reports was to question the amount of time needed to provide children with a well-rounded education. They also sparked discussions of what kind of content should be taught by music educators.
In 2001, President George W. Bush successfully won reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), a law first passed by President Lyndon Johnson to establish the role of the federal government in local schools. The reauthorization, which has become known as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), established the new goals of high standards and achievement accountability for all children.
States were required to test all students in language arts, mathematics, and science. While most states were already testing their students, the law added new accountability standards that imposed sanctions upon schools which failed to meet prescribed benchmarks by the deadlines. These sanctions might include a reduction or cancellation of federal funding. …

"I helped my parents tend our wheat field for hours after school. To see months of hard labour come to complete ruin because of the hailstorm is hard," says Pallavi Suresh Patil, a 13-year-old from Malharpeth-Sawarde village, of Kolhapur district. "The kharif crop was ruined because of erratic rains. All hopes pinned on the rabi crop have been wiped out with it," the eighth standard student in Siddhkala High School of Panhala tehsil writes in an emotionally-charged letter and adds, "I'm going to talk to my parents to not lose hope. We still have each other and we'll come out of this bad phase."
Another letter from over 320 km away in Osmanabad district of Marathwada, talks of not only crop loss but also the devastation of the house. "I am telling my desperate parents to show patience but also beg the government to hurry with the aid," says sixth grader Arjun Pawar, 11, of the Maharshi Vithhal Ramji Shinde High School. "Every day I can hear my parents weeping late into the night."
They are not the only ones. At a time, when as many as 101 farmers from Maharashtra's hailstorm affected areas are committing suicide within this month, from this gloom and doom comes a story of hope and optimism penned by school children. More than 3,000 such letters have poured in to Zee 24 Taas editor Uday Nirgudkar's office over the past few weeks. "We have been getting at least 80-100 letters daily," says Nirgudkar whose office table is packed with stacks of inland letters, postcards and also some written on pages torn from exercise books. "Many of them have moved me to tears."
It all began three months ago, when the channel introduced a special black ticker to carry news developments from interior mofussil areas. "The information that came in from these hailstorm-hit areas, made us send seven teams to cover the crisis."
One of the viewers moved by this poignant reportage was actor Atul Kulkarni, who reached out to make an appeal to the people. "One has heard of agrarian distress but this is unprecedented, both in scale and magnitude," he said. Kulkarni says, his appeal was not about belligerence against official apathy. "I wanted them to touch base with their own inner strength to dispel negative thoughts." He used the travails of Guna Kagal - a character he played in the critically acclaimed Natarang (2010) - who faces hurdles from his family, friends, society to perform in the tamasha. The song Khel Mandala from the movie which enthuses people to carry on in face of difficulty was made part of the message which asked children to extract a promise from their parents that they will not lose hope and think of ending it all. "You know Aamir Khan once said he always plays this song in his car as he finds it inspiring. Now, when I see the response to message I'm convinced," says the two-times national award winner.
A letter from Sandhya Waghmare, 12, a Class VII student resonates, "Once we've begun something we have to take it to a logical end with or without help. I only hope God gives us the strength to work hard and survive this crisis."

Halo 4
shouldn't H4 online population be higher ?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
I just have one big question that's been haunting me for quite some time now.
Halo was the trend setter, the new standard for FPS at the time and what most FPS nowadays use. You get the point, and please, I am by no means trying to flame or troll, just stating facts and outcomes.
Halo was with out a doubt one the biggest FPS of out generation. With that all said, my question remains...why is that when playing online, the total population of people playing, even at its peak, doesn't even come close to the numbers that other games have ? (namely COD)
shouldn't this be like the must have game for all Xbox owners and/or users ? on a regular day, I've seen over 200k + players on COD (or thats what the number said) and adding all H4 playlists doesn't even come close to a fourth of that. why is that ?
maybe because I haven't been on the Halo community for too long and that's why theres a point or something that I'm completely missing.
maybe because the game is boring
XD your logic is beyond flawless. In fact, it's so far beyond flawless that it's gone full circle and become completely moronic. - Burnzie
that sounds like your personal opinion and not an actual proven fact.
i respect your opinion but unless you speak for every single H4 player, then theres not much I can do with that
you asked a question and i answered
i'm sorry it's not something you like to hear
what do you expect from a gun (DMR) that has a krazy-straw for a barrel? - irishman5705
GT: i derive dx
No, this game is super boring. Trying to search matchmaking alone made me turn my Xbox off mid-game.
Perfection. Where everyone fails.
If you expect nothing you can be happy for everything.
Because CoD=easy mode.

GT: A Lost Grenade
When you look at the top played Xbox live games for April - http://majornelson.com/2013/04/06/live-activity-for-week-of-april-1st/
You can see that 2 of the top 5 are Call of Duty titles, the other 3 are Minecraft, Fifa and Halo.
Out of 3 competitive shooters, Halo is the lowest because of one sole reason....
12 yearolds love COD.
Adults enjoy a more polished, higher rated experience and out of the percentage of adults that have time to play xbox live, that number is dwarfed by the amount of over weight 12 year olds living their lives on through COD.
Halo 4's online numbers are still in the Top 5 of games player online over Xbox live, so really, I don't think Halo's population is anything to scuff over when it's still the 2nd most played shooter on consoles. (When grouping COD Blops and MW3 in the same)
Gamertag - GotMyProSocksOn
What you think is broken when it comes to a game could easily be explained with you being terrible at it.
From: xiTz_RyaNx | #007
Adults enjoy a more polished, higher rated experience and out of the percentage of adults that have time to play xbox live, that number is dwarfed by the amount of over weight 12 year olds living their lives on through COD.
This TC is what pulling a rationalization out of your ass looks like.
in PvP... the Grammardin is invincible. But in PvM I find the Mathazon to be much stronger... as long as you've maxed out Derivatives.-wing
60% of gamers are over the age of 18. I highly, highly doubt Call of Duty's dominance has anything to do with your conspiracy theory of catering to 12 year olds ruining gaming.
Perfection. Where everyone fails.
If you expect nothing you can be happy for everything.
i play both games, or maybe I'm trying to stay as neutral as possible here. talking crap about any other game on a (halo) board would be ridiculous.
both games have different physics and different appeals, thats a fact.
but taking into account that Halo franchise actually does its job at polishing games and selling games that have a longer appeal with ever changing game lists. whereas I see the COD franchise as a master minded "planned obsolesce" in which the games, although fun, last only a few months until the urge for a "new" COD is set in motion.
then again, this are my personal opinions but still...i want to understand at what point did this franchise stopped been the go to FPS by excellence and lost the lead. (or maybe restating my original question, why aren't the numbers higher ?)

An online journal about visual art, the urban landscape and design. Mary Louise Schumacher, the Journal Sentinel's art and architecture critic, leads the discussion and a community of writers contribute to the dialogue.
Why In:Site's digital billboard art project needs to be less nice
It has been touted as the largest art exhibition ever placed on view in Milwaukee. The Digital Billboard Art Month put images of art into rotation on 18 digital billboards, operated by Clear Channel Outdoor and Lamar Advertising, around Milwaukee for 10 days, ending last Thursday.
In:Site was interested in showcasing the city's nonprofit visual art groups as well as its artists. Each group invited to showcase an artist was identified along with the artist on the billboard. The "Digital Billboard Art Month" logo was prevalent as well.
This generosity of spirit, while admirable, was the downfall of the project. Instead of giving all of those thousands of motorists an art experience in unexpected places, it delivered advertisements for art instead.
My recommendation to In:Site would be to drop the idea of being fair and inclusive and to develop a stronger curatorial vision for this project. Forget, too, about utilizing only local artists. The emphasis should be simply on finding great artists whose work has particular resonance in that highly visible, drive-by space.
While not a precise comparison, I'd suggest looking at Creative Time's "The 59th Minute" project for inspiration, which put video art onto a big screen in the middle of the world's media mecca -- Times Square. That project ran for seven years starting in 2000, while I was still living in New York City. In the last minute of nearly every hour, works of art, often strange and varied moments of calm, would erupt into the sea of frenzied, blinking screens, traversed by countless humans.
Those small doses of art, which could have been drowned out by the visual noise of that place, had a profound effect. It stopped people in their tracks. It was incongruous, uncanny and a delight. And it didn't explain itself. It was a pure experience.
Over time, with artist after artist, the project accumulated a lot of meaning about a uniquely 21st-century concern -- the ways we look at media and the distracting nature of our screens. Of course people who wanted to know more could dig around and find their way to information about the project.
Sometimes, the works seen on the Astrovision at 1 Times Square, the famous spot where the ball drops on New Year's Eve, connected to major museum shows in some way, proving that those kinds of collaborations can be made without sacrificing on the art. Doug Aiken's "New Day" project coincided with a show at the Museum of Modern Art, a matter of blocks away, and Thomas Struth's meditative video portraits were a pairing for a major retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Creative Time worked with some of the world's most known artists but less known, emerging artists as well. But the emphasis was on selecting work that was specific to that site and the spirit of the project, which Creative Time described as offering "a minute of escape, intellectual reflection, humor, poetry, beauty and zen-like contemplation.
By contrast, the Milwaukee project did not seem specific to the digital billboard platform and it did not have that kind of focusing curatorial point of view, other than generously getting the word out about local artists and arts organizations. The inclusion of all of the credits transforms the work into the equivalent of an art card, the little ads for upcoming shows that galleries hand out. The design, frankly, was amateurish and itself a distraction from the art. And, while it's a small thing, calling a 10-day art project a "month" is a little confusing to boot.
The comparison with Creative Time is a loose one, I realize. The Milwaukee project, for instance, used static imagery rather than video, as seen in New York. And Creative Time is a well-funded leader in temporary public art nationally.
In truth, the kind of buy-in that Pegi Christiansen, who led the billboard project for In:Site, was able to achieve from Clear Channel, Lamar, local arts groups and others is significant. Christiansen has created a framework for a project that has incredible potential. If the emphasis shifts from inclusivity and giving credit to local organizations to the art itself, it will be interesting to see what the digital billboard platform might yield here in Milwaukee.
Note: Pegi Christiansen is a regular contributor to the Art City blog.

Biography All Music GuideWikipedia
All Music Guide:
Although Meshell Ndegeocello scored a few hits early in her career, the bassist, singer, and songwriter later opted to concentrate on more challenging material by exploring the politics of race and sex, among other topics. From her 1993 Maverick label debut through her releases of the 2010s for Naïve, she built a discography of recordings that defied classification through progressive mixtures of jazz, R&B, hip-hop, and rock. Initially held in regard primarily for her bass playing and bold lyrics, her songwriting, which often examined dark interpersonal issues, was just as exceptional.
Michelle Lynn Johnson, born on August 29, 1968, spent the first few years of her life in Germany. Her father was both a military man and a jazz saxophonist. She relocated with her family to Virginia in the early '70s. As a youngster, Johnson developed an interest in music; during her teenage years, she began to play regularly in the clubs of Washington, D.C., but eventually settled down in New York City after a stint of studying music at Howard University. By this point, she was going by Me'Shell NdegéOcello -- her adopted last name Swahili for "free like a bird." After auditioning for several bands, including Living Colour, NdegéOcello struck out on her own and often performed solo with just a bass, drum machine, and keyboard. In the early '90s, she was one of the first artists signed to Madonna's Warner-affiliated Maverick label.
NdegéOcello's debut album, 1993's Plantation Lullabies, was produced with David Gamson, as well as with André Betts and Bob Power, and involved input from a wide range of musicians, including DJ Premier, Joshua Redman, Bill Summers, Wah-Wah Watson, and David Fiuczynski. An impressive first album, it spawned the hit "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" and received three Grammy nominations. A duet with John Mellencamp on a cover of Van Morrison's "Wild Night," released a year later, brought her more mainstream attention; it peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
Almost three years passed between the release of NdegéOcello's first and second albums, but during the wait, she collaborated with Chaka Khan on the track "Never Miss the Water," and she appeared on movie soundtracks (White Man's Burden, Money Talks) and on such multi-artist releases as Ain't Nuthin' But a She Thing and Lilith Fair, Vol. 3. Peace Beyond Passion finally saw release in 1996, peaked higher on the Billboard 200 (at number 63), and was also nominated for a Best R&B Album Grammy. Its cover of Bill Withers' "Who Is He (And What Is He to You?)" topped Billboard's club chart. Produced by Gamson, it featured a longer list of noted associates, including several heard on the debut, as well as Billy Preston, Bennie Maupin, David Torn, Wendy Melvoin, and Paul Riser.
Another three-year break between albums occurred, during which time she collaborated with rapper Queen Pen on the track "Girlfriend." Bitter, for which she was billed as Meshell Ndegéocello, was released in 1999. She took another three-year break and emerged with Cookie: The Anthropological Mixtape -- as Meshell Ndegeocello -- in 2002. Comfort Woman followed in 2003 and Dance of the Infidel, a sprawling album made with numerous collaborators from the jazz world, surfaced in 2005. Two years later, her fantastic Decca debut, The World Has Made Me the Man of My Dreams, which included guest appearances from Pat Metheny and Oumou Sangare, was released.
Her first pop-related recording in half a decade, 2009's Devil's Halo featured Ndegeocello in a quartet setting. The album also included guest spots from Lisa Germano and Oren Bloedow. Ndegeocello toured the album in opera houses and concert halls across the United States and Europe. In 2011, she partnered with Grammy-winning producer Joe Henry for the album Weather; it was issued on the Naïve label. In 2012, Ndegeocello released Pour une Âme Souveraine: A Dedication to Nina Simone, a collection of tunes intimately associated with the legendary vocalist and pianist. Comet, Come to Me, another deep set of introspective songs, followed in 2014.
Meshell Ndegeocello (/ɪˈʃɛ ɛˈɡeɪoʊtʃɛoʊ/; born Michelle Lynn Johnson, August 29, 1968) is an American singer-songwriter, rapper, bassist, and vocalist. Her music incorporates a wide variety of influences, including funk, soul, jazz, hip hop, reggae and rock. She has received significant critical acclaim throughout her career, and has had ten career Grammy Award nominations. She has been credited for having "sparked the neo-soul movement."^ Lecaro, Lena (October 24, 2002). "Head, heart and soul". Los Angeles Times. pp. E–12. Retrieved 2009-02-28. ^ "Grammy Nominations For J J Cale, Bettye LaVette and Meshell Ndegeocello – Just Announced". News, December 2007. The Rosebud Agency. December 6, 2007.

Ndegeocello was born Michelle Lynn Johnson in Berlin, Germany, to army Sergeant Major and saxophonist father Jacques Johnson and health care worker mother Helen. She was raised in Washington, D.C. where she attended Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Oxon Hill High School. In early press releases from Maverick Records her birth year was erroneously listed as 1969. The 1968 birth date has been confirmed through a previous manager and lifelong friend.
Named Michelle Lynn Johnson at birth, Ndegeocello adopted her surname at the age of 17, which she says means "free like a bird" in Swahili. Meshell Ndegeocello is pronounced Mee-shell N-deh-gay-o-chel-o. Early pressings of Plantation Lullabies were stickered with the instructions. The spelling has changed in the hands of record labels a few times during her career; however, the correct spelling of her stage name is now Meshell Ndegeocello.^ "FreeMyHeart.com". FreeMyHeart.com. March 3, 2001. Retrieved 2011-07-18.
Ndegeocello honed her skills on the D.C. go-go circuit in the late 1980s with the bands Prophecy, Little Bennie and the Masters, and Rare Essence She unsuccessfully tried out for Living Colour's bassist position, vacated in 1992 by Muzz Skillings. Going solo, she was one of the first artists to sign with Maverick Records, where she released her debut album, Plantation Lullabies. This recording presented a distinctly androgynous persona.
Her biggest hit is a duet with John Mellencamp, a cover version of Van Morrison's "Wild Night", which reached No. 3 on the Billboard charts. Her only other Billboard Hot 100 hit besides "Wild Night" has been her self-penned "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)", which peaked at No. 73 in 1994. Also in 1994, Ndegeocello collaborated with Herbie Hancock on "Nocturnal Sunshine," a track for the Red Hot Organization's compilation album, Stolen Moments: Red Hot + Cool. The album, meant to raise awareness and funds in support of the AIDS epidemic in relation to the African American community, was heralded as "Album of the Year" by Time magazine.
She had a No. 1 Dance hit in 1996 with a Bill Withers cover song called "Who Is He (And What Is He to You)?" (briefly featured in the film Jerry Maguire) as well as Dance Top 20 hits with "Earth", "Leviticus: Faggot", "Stay" and the aforementioned "If That's Your Boyfriend.. Last Night)". Ndegeocello played bass on the song "I'd Rather be Your Lover" for Madonna on her album Bedtime Stories. Ndegeocello was also tapped, at the last minute, to perform a rap on the same song. This came after Madonna and producers decided to remove Tupac Shakur's rap (which he did while he and Madonna were dating in 1994), after he had criminal charges filed against him. Ndegeocello also performed a rap on Chaka Khan's single "Never Miss the Water", from the album Epiphany: The Best of Chaka Khan, Vol. 1, released in 1996. The song reached #1 on Billboard's Dance Club Play Chart and #36 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart.
Her music has been featured in a number of film soundtracks including How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Lost & Delirious, Batman & Robin, Love Jones, Love & Basketball, Talk to Me, Tyler Perry's Daddy's Little Girls, The Best Man, Higher Learning, Down in the Delta, The Hurricane, Noah's Arc: Jumping the Broom, and Soul Men.
She has appeared on recordings by Basement Jaxx, Indigo Girls, Scritti Politti, and The Blind Boys of Alabama. On The Rolling Stones' 1997 album Bridges to Babylon she plays bass on the song "Saint of Me". On Alanis Morissette's 2002 album Under Rug Swept, she plays bass on the songs "So Unsexy" and "You Owe Me Nothing in Return". On Zap Mama's album ReCreation (2009), she plays bass on the song "African Diamond".
She can also be seen in the documentary Standing in the Shadows of Motown, singing The Miracles' "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" and The Temptations' "Cloud Nine". In the late 1990s, she toured with Lilith Fair. She also did a remake of the song "Two Doors Down" on the 2003 release Just Because I'm A Woman: The Songs of Dolly Parton.
Ndegeocello was also a judge for the 2nd annual Independent Music Awards to support independent artists' careers.
Her song "Tie One On" was chosen as the Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week on February 23, 2010.^ Wiltz, Teresa (June 19, 2005). "Meshell Ndegeocello Breaks Step With Pop".

"Starbucks iTunes Pick of the Week – Meshell Ndegeocello – Tie One On". www.mark-heringer.com. Retrieved 2011-07-18.
In 2002, Ndegeocello collaborated with Yerba Buena on a track featuring Ron Black for the Red Hot Organization's tribute album to Fela Kuti, Red Hot and Riot. Proceeds from the album went to various AIDS charities, per the Red Hot Organization's mission.
In June 2010, she contributed a cover of U2's "40" to the Enough Project and Downtown Records' Raise Hope for Congo compilation. Proceeds from the compilation fund efforts to make the protection and empowerment of Congo's women a priority, as well as inspire individuals around the world to raise their voice for peace in Congo.
In 2010, Ndegeocello contributed to the essay anthology It Gets Better: Coming Out, Overcoming Bullying, and Creating a Life Worth Living, edited by Dan Savage and Terry Miller in the vein of the It Gets Better Project.
Personal life[edit]
Ndegeocello is bisexual and previously had a relationship with feminist author Rebecca Walker. Ndegeocello's first son, Solomon, was born in 1989. She is currently married to Alison Riley, with whom she has a second son. She suffers from photosensitive epilepsy and is susceptible to seizures induced by flash photography when she is performing live. She has gone by the name Meshell Suhaila Bashir-Shakur which is used as a writing credit on some of her later work.^ Zwerin, Mike (February 23, 1994).

Re: Mutiny at Dawn - Transpac Race 2013
I browsed around the Web a bit and figured out which sushi restaurant "Harry" and "Jane" own. I've actually eaten there once, two or three years ago, and was completely under-whelmed. Really. I've had better sushi from the take-out counter at Whole Foods. "Harry" may own/run a sushi joint, but he ain't no sushi chef (as in an "itamae"). Somehow, this TransPac episode doesn't surprise me.
Never forget them. Do something to prevent it from happening again.

text: I think he is. Having read his blog, he really comes off as charming, kind, and funny. On court he is never disrespectful to the umpire or to fans. He also has an amazing work ethic and great ground strokes. He has a great personality + great game plus he never consistently beats top players meaning fans of those players can't really hate him either. Many people call him boring simply because he is not rude and disrespectful on court. Personally I think he is really likable and I can't see why anyone would dislike him, his blogs are really interesting and hilarious. The only reason I think people really dislike is because of the fixing scandal. I'm wondering if you guys think he is the most likable player in the top 5 if we put the fixing scandal aside.
