Mayor Rahm Emanuel's Remarks at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner
We balanced the budget. We put America on a path to zero debt by the year 2009 ... It seemed so far away then. We left President Bush a record surplus and he left President Obama a record national debt. You know how that happened: the Republicans happened. They held the White House, the House and the Senate for six long years. … They took everything they inherited: the jobs, the surplus, the stature of our country around the world -- and they squandered it.

The Music Man is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Meredith Willson, based on a story by Willson and Franklin Lacey. The plot concerns con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naive townsfolk before skipping town with the cash. In River City, Iowa, prim librarian and piano teacher Marian Paroo sees through him, but when Hill helps her younger brother overcome his fear of social interactions due to his lisp, Marian begins to fall in love with Harold. Harold, in turn falling for Marian, risks being caught to win her.
In 1957, the show became a hit on Broadway, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and running for 1,375 performances. The cast album won the first Grammy Award for "Best Original Cast Album".

I actually have this album - somewhere...
PS: I have been raking leaves for several days. Unfortunately, when my son visited right after Halloween, he spent his time clearing the masses of tree limbs from my yard. The leaves were still on the trees, and only started coming down this week! I keep telling myself what good exercise this is for me... The kids are coming over next weekend to help me, but I hope to have most of them up by then...
PPS: JoeS, what is your baby due?? Judging from your picture, it should be any day now... (Love you JoeS :)

The Music Man. In 1957, the show became a hit on Broadway, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, and running for 1,375 performances. The cast album won the first Grammy Award for "Best Original Cast Album". The show's success led to revivals and a popular 1962 film adaptation and a 2003 television remake. It frequently is produced by both professional and amateur theater companies. Not that I give a rip. I really don't like that stuff, especially that kind of music. I think musicals suck, plays or movies, they all suck. If I should only mention that I don't like West Side Story, all the women in the room throw stuff at me. I'd much rather watch Purple Rain.
I dragged from the deep recesses of the far closet, the French Horn that I bought impulsively lo', those 15 or so years ago. I was determined to sell it.
I'd gone big when I bought it, a gleaming professional Holton/Farkas jobbie costing in the 6K range. At the time, I'd had dreams of resurrecting all the fun I'd had playing horn 'thru HS and summer music camp for three years; never that great at it then, but determined to do better justice this time around.
Those who've traipsed the road of aged lips/embrochoure will be familiar with what came next.., I've stroked, polished and caressed this fine instrument yearly sincerely; tooted affectionately, and put the beloved softly back in the soft realm of its' closet spot.
Marty is familiar with our story, but I thought I'd share our rodeo with Sally, BttB, Madcat, and the rest of the BCE family.
My son, Adrian, was severely brain injured in a car accident 20 years ago this Thanksgiving; he is w/c bound/ tube-fed under my singular care here at home in his wheelchair on our little farm in San Tan Valley, Az. and has bucked the survival odds too many times to list; currently recovering from double pneumonia/constipation from all the morphine. Six weeks in, my guy has finally cracked a smile, and is breathing better.
I'd gotten to the scary point, that Adrian might die.
I have a horse, Taffy, who orders all confusion as I ride her. It is almost impossible to angst above her rhythm. She keeps me sane.
We have a 5-acre farm with many trees; fifty or so.., ducks, chickens, horses and 3 peacocks; sharing with daughter/SIL and four gttrs.
So I posit to all: whither goest the french horn? Sell, or rehearse?

People were asked questions about news habits and current events in a statewide poll of 600 New Jersey residents recently. Results showed that viewers of Sunday morning news shows were the most informed about current events, while Fox News viewers were the least informed. In fact, FDU poll results showed they were even less informed than those who don't watch any news at all.
Readers of The New York Times, USA Today and listeners to National Public Radio were better informed about international events than other media outlets.
In one major example, New Jersey poll participants were questioned about the outcome of the so-called Arab Spring uprisings in North Africa earlier in the year. A total of 53% of respondents know that Egyptians were successful in overthrowing dictator Hosni Mubarak. Also, 48% know that the Syrian uprising has thus far been unsuccessful in Assad. But on balance, Fox News viewers were 18-points less likely to know that Egyptians overthrew their government than those who watched no news at all. Fox News viewers were also 6-points less likely to know that Syrians have not yet overthrown their government than those who watch no news at all, suggesting a daily dose of soundbytes from CNN at the gym, and headlines from Google News were enough to surpass what average Fox viewers polled knew about current events.
Jimmy Fallon's house band the Roots didn't have a warm welcome for Republican presidential contender Michele Bachmann (R-Lyin' Ass Bitch) when she appeared on the NBC show early Tuesday.
As Bachmann strode on to the stage at Fallon's "Late Night," the show's band played a snippet of a 1985 Fishbone song called "Lyin' Ass B----."
The song begins with a distinctive "la la la la la la la la la" refrain - the only words audible before Bachmann, smiling and waving to the audience, sat down.
The song itself, about a relationship gone wrong, isn't political. Among its cleanest lyrics: "She always says she needs you, but you know she really don't care."
Roots' bandleader Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson said later Tuesday that the song was a "tongue-in-cheek and spur of the moment decision.
NBC's new hit fairy-tale drama "Grimm" has been granted a full-season order, and will receive a special Thursday-night airing next month, the network has announced.
In what might be an experiment to test the waters for the series in a new time slot, NBC will air an original episode of the show Thursday, December 8 at 10 p.m., followed by another original episode the next night in its regular time slot, Friday at 9 p.m.
Despite its less-than-desirable Friday night time slot, "Grimm" has performed well for the network, delivering a 2.1 rating/6 share in the adults 18-49 demographic for its October 28 series premiere, a 62 percent improvement over the network's average in the time slot last season. Growing from there, "Grimm" has averaged a 2.3/7 and 6.9 million total viewers, improving the network's performance in the demographic by 50 percent over the equivalent period last season.
NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said that Grimm is "turning the traditional procedural drama on its head and is attracting a loyal following for us on Friday nights. We love where it's going creatively and we're excited to deliver more episodes to our audience."

Move over Mozart. Toes in Salzburg are tapping to a new beat as residents finally embrace the Hollywood musical that put them on the map nearly half a century ago.
Playing for the first time in this haughty town of opera lovers, "The Sound of Music," has been met with surprisingly positive reactions in what is commonly considered a last bulwark of resistance to the iconic show.
Fans around the world may know every word of every song performed by Julie Andrews as the governess of seven children who charms - then weds - their widowed father Baron von Trapp, before the singing family flees the Nazis.
But this city resonates to another sound of music - the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms.
And it has a different concept of culture.
While residents earn millions each year from the tourists who come for sing-along tours of sites featured in the film, they traditionally view the visitors with benign disdain - and occasionally as pests.
A lawyer at the British inquiry into media ethics says the media is intimidating witnesseses.
David Sherborne spoke the day after actor Hugh Grant gave highly critical testimony to the investigation, describing mysterious break-ins, leaked medical details and hacked voice mails.
Grant blamed the entire tabloid press, not just the now-shuttered News of the World. In particular, he accused the Mail on Sunday tabloid of spying on his conversations.
Victims' lawyer Sherborne said many witnesses were worried about "the sort of intimidatory tactics that we've seen in the press this morning."

Griffin O'Neal, the son of actor Ryan O'Neal, has pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of drugs stemming from a head-on crash that injured another motorist.
The San Diego Union-Tribune says O'Neal pleaded guilty Tuesday to driving under the influence and possession of a firearm by a felon, both felonies. He also acknowledged he has a 1992 conviction for shooting into an unoccupied vehicle.
Prosecutors say O'Neal was on drugs Aug. 2 when he veered into oncoming traffic and collided with another vehicle in San Diego County.
Defense attorney Heather Boxeth said at a previous hearing that her client had been trying to help his half-brother Redmond O'Neal, who had been arrested on suspicion of heroin possession the same day.

Elle Macpherson fired her business adviser for leaking secrets when journalists were actually getting juicy details about the supermodel by hacking into her phone, the former aide told a British inquiry into media ethics Tuesday.
In testimony that illuminated the human costs of the illegal practice, Mary-Ellen Field described how she lost both her job for Macpherson and one at an advisory firm because of the unfounded suspicions - a double-blow that was all the more serious because she was in poor health.
Field was one of several victims of press intrusion testifying Tuesday at Britain's Royal Courts of Justice. The inquiry, headed by Lord Justice Brian Leveson, was set up by Prime Minister David Cameron after the scandal over phone hacking and other underhanded tactics used at the News of the World, which was closed by media mogul Rupert Murdoch in July amid allegations of widespread criminality.
Field, with a friendly and open demeanor that showed no traces of bitterness toward the press or her former boss, said her relationship with Macpherson was once close, but it fell apart after the model's intimate secrets began appearing in the press in 2005. Macpherson became convinced that Field, a fellow Australian, was an alcoholic and ordered her to go to an American rehabilitation clinic.
Field said she was shocked by the allegations she was a drunk who'd been blabbing about her employer, but went along with Macpherson's recommendation because she needed her job.

The 12 million yen (US$156,000) spacecraft model was made to be used in the film which is due to hit the big screen from early February, 2012.

A woman has been sentenced to 3½ years in prison for embezzling more than $1 million from the Mark Twain House and Museum, a crime that added to the financial woes of the Hartford landmark that had been struggling to pay its bills.
Donna Gregor, a 54-year-old former museum employee, apologized for stealing the money at the sentencing hearing Monday in federal court in Bridgeport. Gregor faced up to 23 years in prison after pleading guilty in August to wire fraud and filing a false tax return.
The officials who run the gingerbread Gothic home said it has recovered financially and they are happy to put the case behind them.
The author and humorist built the house in 1874 and wrote many of his best known works during the 17 years that he lived there, including "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" and its sequel, "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Struggling with debt, Twain had to sell the home in 1903. The building was rescued from demolition in 1927 and is now a prime tourist attraction in Connecticut's capital city.
In addition to her jail sentence, Gregor was ordered to pay restitution to the Mark Twain House for the money she stole between 2002 and 2010. After serving her prison sentence she also faces three years of supervised release.
