I've never been much into opera. But last year my family decided to check out La Cenerentola with the Met Live in HD series (that's about as close as we can get to live opera where I live). Well, lo and behold my kids just loved it and want to see some more. So now the new season for Met Live is about to start, and we're trying to decide which ones we should see. Here's the list of this season's upcoming performances. Do people have suggestions on what would be good pics for opera newbies, particularly children? I think they liked La Cenerentola in part because it was funny. Simon Boccanegra will be featuring Placido Domingo. I thought it might be nice to see him perform, but I don't know anything about the opera and whether Domingo would be worth seeing just because. Any and all suggestions are appreciated
As any self-respecting skating fan, you should see the ABCs of opera or at least the A and the C offered this season, meaning Aida and Carmen. Aida is looooooooong and has a ballet in it but still worth is IMO. The B is for La Boheme but it's not on the list. That and La Traviata are my two all time faves. Tosca is another one I would definitely go see if only to choreograph programs in my head. Domingo is great but I would rather go for the music that I know I love which is the ones I recommended above.
The Magic Flute by Mozart is great, I loved it anyway. As mentioned, you're already very familiar with Carmen and Tosca
The Barber of Seville La Traviata Madame Butterfly The Bartered Bride La Boheme Cyrano de Bergerac Don Giovanni Turandot
I absolutely adore La Traviata, La Boheme and Madame Butterfly, but from your list, I would go and see Plácido Domingo in Simon Boccanegra or see Aida. When I saw Aida, the stage, costumes etc. were all amazing, best I have ever seen - and it has a pretty easy to follow storyline for children too, I think.
This might not be the best time to go to Tosca for the first time. The Met has a new and very controversial production this season; the production team was loudly booed on opening night. The whole thing is the talk of the NY opera world at the moment; it might not be the best introduction to this particular opera. I would suggest Turandot; the Met production is a big spectacular and might keep children interested even if they don't care for the story line.
On a side note, I find this music video of Anna Netrebko singing the Song to the Moon from Dvorak's Rusalka highly entertaining, although you might not want your kids to see it, agal.
I confess I've been leaning towards Turandot. Here are our options: Tosca Aida Turandot Les Contes d'Hoffmann Der Rosenkavalier Carmen Simon Boccanegra Hamlet Armida My main concern is to pick something the kids will like. I don't want it to be a turn-off for them. Could you say more about this? Yeah, no .
OMG this is amazing. She's very pretty, her voice (to my untrained ears) is very stunning, the song is very lovely, the video? Is [unintentionally] very awesome. Wheeee!
ETA: The music video can be found (along with 3-4 other equally provocative ones) on one of Netrebko's Deutsche Grammophon CDs from a few years back that was a collection of popular arias. Netrebko also gave a much-acclaimed modern interpretation of La Traviata at the Salzburg festival in 2005 which is available on DVD - perhaps your local library might have this. Netrebko will be performing in the Met's HD broadcasts of Les Contes d'Hoffmann in December, but I'm sorry to say I'm not familiar with that opera - or much at all, besides the fact that Netrebko has reached pop-star like status within the opera world. Netrebko will also be performing in the Met's production of La Boheme in March 2010, but that's not going to be on HD. If I'd known, agal, that you'd be so interested in opera, I would have sent you a paperback I ended up donating to the local library - it was an quick, but encyclopedic reference, to most major operas. Sorry for intentionally derailing the thread.
I consider myself a noob, and the one opera I have tickets to this season (so far) is Les Contes d'Hoffmann. Mind you I know nothing about it other than Anna Netrebko is in it and Bartlett Sher is directing. Definitely a hot ticket this season. The one opera/performance that changed my life was Natalie Dessay in La Fille de Regiment and therefore I will see anything with her in it (Hamlet). Based on friend recommendations, I was also going to get tix to Der Rosenkavalier or Armida...leaning towards Der Rosenkavalier (since there is only so much opera I can take).
Turandot is absolutely stunning, both musically, and scenically - most productions are jaw droppingly beautiful in their design - including the Zeffirelli. I get chills just thinking about it musically. Not as easy for the kids to follow though. I've never been big on Aida, but I am in the clear minority on that. Rosenkavalier and Carmen are my recommended choices for the kids. Have fun!
Placido Domingo's greatness is his unsurpassed ability to act with his singing voice. If your children can appreciate that, then by all means have them watch Simon Boccanegra. Carmen, Aïda, and Turandot are all war horses for a reason -- great music and plenty of spectacle. Not much comedy to be had in any of them, but your kids should enjoy them. The production designers of the Met's Tosca got booed (!) at the debut for their stark, modern sets. I'm guessing that there might not be enough there visually for your kids.
I have not heard the music from Aida, but my opera buff Aunt said it was worth seeing for sure. My aunt was the one who use to take my sister and I to various plays, musicals, ballets and opera's growing up. The list I gave you, are the opera's I am most familiar with and if they come to you one day, I am sure the kids will love them, as a few from that list, I saw when I was younger. Have fun!!!
agalisgv, how old are your children? The themes and plot points of many operas are frequently violent, sexual or both. There is no opera on the list which is really comparable to Cenerentola. The lightest in tone is probably Rosenkavalier, but its plot is focused on romance and illicit affairs. The music is gorgeous, but Strauss might be a bit challenging for children. My recommendation goes to Turandot as another fairy tale but in the violent Brothers Grimm school. It's exciting, but has a happy ending, at least for the 2 main characters. Of course, the title character is a sociopath who is responsible for many deaths and the torture and suicide of the secondary female lead, but Hansel and Gretel cooked an old woman in an oven so that's not unexpected in fairy/folk tales. Puccini's music is easier for most children to appreciate, too. I've never seen Tales of Hoffman, but I seem to remember that it has 3 stories. It's a far lesser work than the others on your list, but you might want to check it out if the others seem too adult in content.
Seeing the great Domingo, especially now in the twilight of his career, is a must; however, Boccanegra isn't the most visually stimulating or action-driven opera. Don't know how kids would like it, but hey, they can tell their grandkids they saw Domingo. If "spectacle" is most easily digested by the young-ins, I would say Aida, Turandot, or Carmen. Zajick is singing Amneris in Aida, that alone is worth the price of a ticket. She'll hit it out of the park. Der Rosenkavalier is one of my personal faves and has glorious music, but its Strauss and 20th century and therefore its melodies are more adventurous than 19th century fare. Fleming is a fantastic Marschallin and Graham always shines as Octavian. However, very much character driven: the climax is three ladies (one of them playing a boy) singing overlapping monologues. Armida and Hamlet are all about the singing. With Fleming in the former and Keenlyside (dreamboat!!!!) and Dessay in the latter, you can't go wrong. But again, not exactly the most action packed. Hoffmann is just boring and has too many characters, IMHO. Let me finish by saying that it is SOOOOO groovy that your kids are into it! Keep it up, we need young people to continue performing AND attending in the future!!!
This video made me laugh. She is physically beautiful and has a wonderful voice, but the cheesecake effort was too funny. The cheap float, the awful lip synching, the attempt at "opera porn" ... just a hoot. Between the opera I saw last night (Rigoletto) and this whole thread, I feel the need to find my Florence Foster Jenkins CD and rock out to some horrific singing today.
Probably, but not ahead of my other recommendations. I've never been big on Simon - but Domingo is one of the preeminent artists of the past century. What a wonderful arts form to bring to your kids.
From the list, I would choose "The Tales of Hoffman" & "Carmen" as being the best for children. I saw "Carmen" live at the Met when I was 12 years old & have been a lifelong lover of opera ever since.
I'm going to see Turandot. I love the fairy tale plot. I want to hear Nessun Dorma live on the big screen, instead of my TV. And it's a lot shorter than Tristan and Isolde, which I saw last year.
I most heartily agree with both Fergus and ebayj about Domingo. Decades from now I think that your children would still be thanking you for the privilege of having seen him perform. My first experience with live opera was as a child on a class visit to see La Boheme. I don't remember who that teacher was but to this very day, I am grateful. Thanks, teach!!!
I would lean toward Turandot and Carmen. Turandot for a lot of the reasons people have already mentioned, plus one of the performers is Marina Poplavskaya, who was fabulous in the LA Opera production of La Traviata last year. Carmen is easy to follow, the music is great, and has a lot of spectacle that kids will love. Der Rosenkavalier is a comedy, so the kids might appreciate it, but Strauss could be difficult. However, having said that, my introduction to opera was a production of Faust, which is hardly a kid-friendly opera, but I enjoyed the drama of it. I also would suggest that you also consider watching some opera DVDs with your kids. The Magic Flute and Marriage of Figaro are great introductions for kids. (Amazon has the Julie Taymor-directed Met production of The Magic Flute from a few years ago, which was done in an abridged version and in English.) You might also look at some light opera or operettas. I highly recommend renting this production of Luisa Fernanda, a zarzuela, which is a Spanish type of light opera. The music is great and the story accessible, and will also illustrate that not every opera has to be a huge, lavish production. (I saw this version of Luisa Fernanda at the LA Opera a few years ago and really loved it.) Here is a video clip. ETA: I keep hoping that they do a DVD version of the Woody Allen-directed production of Gianni Schicchi. That would be a fantastic production for kids, since it had most of the adults I know falling out of their seats. Imagine an opera with Puccino music (and one of the most beautiful arias ever (O mio babbino caro) done in a style of a Marx Brothers version of an Italian mob film.
I have two questions: Based on people's suggestions here, I was thinking of Der Rosenkavalier. But then I saw the performance time is close to five hours. Is that a long and/or difficult production to sit through? Or did it fly by? I'm wondering how well my kids will last through that. Also, does anyone know if the production for Carmen will be a traditional one, or a modern revision? I didn't know if they were going to do a Tosca with Carmen . I ask because the scene pic they posted looks very minimalistic, and I don't know the various production crews from one another. Thanks everyone for all your suggestions so far. Oh, one last thing--does anyone know when the Met announces their line-up for next year? I was thinking if we could catch Domingo in a different opera next year, we may take a pass on Simon Boccanegra this year. Simon doesn't play until February I believe. Would next year's schedule be up by then? Thanks again !
One of the first operas I saw live was Der Rosenkavalier and I did. not. enjoy. it. at. all. I don't think a Strauss opera is a good choice for opera newbies. I do plan to go see it this time though, but that's cause I'm in love with Renee Fleming. Tosca is one of my mother's favorite operas so we are going to that on Saturday. Just to add, I saw Turandot on tv once and it was a pretty good spectacular, but my mother doesn't like it at all. OTOH, Maria Guleghina is starring in it and I saw in the HD broadcast of MacBeth two seasons ago that she was in and she is very dramatic and engaging.
As mentioned before, the old warhorses are your safest bets. Even if Carmen is minimalistic, you still get to hear the gorgeous gorgeous music of Bizet. And hopefully some decent singing too. I will tell you this much: the ballet Carment Suite was done in a modern style, very minimalistic decorations and choreography and how much does this rock?? I just could never say no to Carmen.

No one should expect much from Rivers in the first couple of seasons. He's raw, especially at the point. Year 3 will forecast what kind of player he will be long-term. I'm not gonna label him a bust from what he does in the first two seasons.

Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
I don't think this is a good comparison at all. John Wall was considered the best player in an incredibly weak draft. Anthony Davis was considered one of the top 3 or 4 prospects over about 15 years of drafts.
John Wall's draft class was horrific and if it was re-done today, he would probably still go number 1. Besides, it's not like he's been terrible. He's a 16 pt 8 ast player on a terrible team. But it's not like he was considered a slam dunk.
^ Eh, I believe Demarcus was viewed as having better potential, but there were too many character/drive issues surrounding him during the draft. They definitely believed he had as much talent as Wall.
Wow! I didn't know you can tell what a player can be in 5 or 4 pre-season games. It's kinda hard for inexperience SG transfering into a PG was great that season. Nobody is saying this rough diamond would be a beauty. It will take time, this guy have talent that plenty don't. More than Lillard IMO, he is just a solid PG. Most importantly he is a hard worker.
If I had to guess he's probably under 24 which might explain why he thinks you can figure out how a rookies career will go based on a few preseason games. There are plenty of people under 24 that know how long it takes for most rookies to develop, but he's not one of them.
Looking back on my post I shouldn't have said "...the guy hasn't even gotten midway through his professional career...". Forget about career. He hasn't even gotten midway through his first professional SEASON.
I wasn't looking for a 1 to 1 comparison just the fact that highly touted prospects don't always turn into stars.
Contrary to what some people here are assuming I never said Davis would be a bad player and most certainly not a bust. He's just not a franchise once in a generation player.
Sometimes it takes a long time for a player to develop, but I have been around long enough to know usually you can see the flashes of what that player is going to be like in preseason. I just watched the Washington game and Beal looks like he is going to become a flat out star. He is making practically every shot, and even the ones he is missing look like they are going to go in. The guy has perfect form. Plus the guy is making all sorts of great little plays. He reminds me a bit of Wade actually. I would rather see him miss than most of his teammates make it. If you can't tell he is leagues beyond most of his teammates, I'm not sure you know how to watch basketball. And yeah I can tell AD is going to be a star too. You don't have to watch 100 games to realize this. You can just use your eyes and your mind and connect the dots. It is pretty obvious to any knowledgable NBA fan, haters excluded.
But with Rivers I'm not seeing many if any flashes even. If his last name wasn't Rivers, would there be all this hoopla about him? Honestly?
I've seen four rookies I think are going to be stars in this league: AD, Drummond, Lillard and Beal. Not sure about the rest. I have to put Rivers in the "Aminu" category at this point. He's clearly going to be a long term project. His ceiling might be Kevin Martin at this point. Maybe better I hope. He's just not impressing me. What can I say? Do you think scouts are not allowed to evaluate players after just one game? Hell yeah they are. That's not to say the player might improve or that the scout's evaluation would change over time. But it is fair to make an assessment on a player based on his current play. You should be able to see that player's standout qualities even if he isn't polished right away - at least some glimmer of it. If you don't see at least one standout quality, what you have on your hands is probably a mediocre player. With Drummond you can see he is going to be a beast who is going to wreck havoc against smaller, weaker players. With Beal, it is obvious he is going to shoot lights out. With AD, it's obvious he's going to be a defensive monster and even his offensive game looks very promising. Westbrook couldn't shoot the first couple years, but everyone could see his amazing quickness and athleticism. What is that "it" factor you are seeing in Rivers to give you hope? Please enlighten me because I haven't seen it yet. He has that one quick step, but that makes him like a poor man's Jamal Crawford if that's all he's got.
Anyway, you can insult me all you want as some of you have been doing in this thread. That's fine. I have thick skin. But do me a favor and if the guy doesn't improve over whatever time frame YOU deem necessary to make your determination of him, then be sure to dig up this thread and give me the credit I am due.
I'm actually sorry I can't tell you what you want to hear. I wish he would blow me away. I wish I could see that spark in him. But I don't.

Beal will be the best guard in this draft. I think Lamb will be the second best. He's a better SG than Rivers easily, offensively and defensively. But Rivers was drafted to play the point and to provide scoring off the dribble. None of the guys drafted after Rivers would be starting on the Hornets long-term over Davis, Anderson, and Gordon.
I'd rather have Smith playing center.
Yeah, I agree. I just feel like we lost out on Sacre. He was our guy. We were going to snag him as an undrafted and then the lakers go and pick with the like the last pick, and now because of the Hill injury and his great play it looks like he is going to stick. It just gets under my skin that the lakers got him.
"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
I think the odd thing here is no one is disputing sfernald's claim that Rivers hasn't shown any flashes of potential. He's shown his speed, his dribble moves, and his ability to get in front of his man and create turnovers. I think anyone who hasn't seen potential in Rivers' play yet simply doesn't want to see it.
Rivers was drafted as a project, we didn't draft him to compete for a starting role or to even impress the coaches this year. You can't judge him now, or within the next year or two. Lillard on the other hand is already 22 years old, heck he is a couple months older than Chief, and is only a year and a half younger than Eric Gordon who's already going into his 5th year in the league. Lillard is going to be a better player than Rivers, probably for a few years.

I could tell you that his "scouting report" is totally wrong after just a few preseason games.7. Anthony Davis- The best shot blocker I've ever seen in college. His motor, IQ, and team 1st attitude will be a breathe of fresh air for any coaching staff. Has a fairly consistent mid range jumper. Will be one of those player you have to keep in eye out for when driving to the basket. Limited on offensive. He struggle if he his to put the ball on the floor more than once, has no real post moves, and is often pushed around by college level bodies. I see a ceiling of Tyson Chandler. Needs to add muscle, and develop so form of post game.
Current NBA comparison- Tyrus Thomas
It's not about insulting you, but go back and read your post that started this thread. It was a classic knee jerk reaction to a few preseason games. How do you expect people to respond? Rivers was drafted as a project at PG yet you already have given up on him before he has even played a single regular season game. Whether you like Rivers or hate him, do you realize how irrational that sounds?

Museums and galleries
3 of the world's top 5 most-visited museums are based in England, and nearly 40 million people visit our national museums and galleries each year.
Our national museums and galleries are truly world-leading. They are important centres for scholarship and research, as well as being hugely popular visitor attractions, enriching people's lives and educating in equal measure.
Beyond our national museums, which are funded directly by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), England has a huge network of specialist and regional museums, run by charities, local authorities and educational establishments. Many of these receive public funding from the National Lottery.
We are maintaining world-leading museums and galleries, and supporting the wider museum sector, by:
- providing funding for national museums and galleries
- providing free public access to the permanent collections of national museums and galleries
- funding the Arts Council to provide support to 'non-national' museums (which are those museums who are not governed by primary legislation)
- continuing to fund 'capital improvements' (like renewing displays or interpretation) for museums and galleries, through the DCMS/Wolfson Fund
We are working to improve the collections and exhibitions in museums and galleries by:
- letting people donate items of cultural and historical importance to the state in full or part payment of tax, through the Acceptance in Lieu Scheme
- providing funding and setting policy for our export licensing system, which regulates the movement of art and cultural objects
- providing an alternative to commercial insurance which allows the public access to objects within the UK that might not otherwise be available, through the Government Indemnity Scheme
- protecting objects on loan from abroad for temporary exhibition in UK museums and galleries from court-ordered seizure
We are helping to ensure potentially sensitive objects are handled appropriately by:
- providing advice to national museums and galleries, including on how they can prevent illicit trade in cultural objects, and how they can handle human remains in their collections
- handling claims from people, or their heirs, who lost property during the Nazi era, which is now held in UK national collections
- providing statutory guidance on the criteria to be taken into consideration when making a decision about whether or not to grant an export licence
The government introduced universal free entrance to national museums and galleries in December 2001 and from then until 2011-12, visits to those institutions that used to charge an entrance fee have increased by 158%. We restated our commitment to free entry in October 2010 as part of the 2010 Spending Review.
There were 40 million visits to national museums and galleries in the 2011/12 financial year, a record number. Many museums including the National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum recorded their highest visitor figures ever.

The BEST facial compilation on YouPorn. Check out the girls at 0:25 and 1:15. I really love the cumshot at 0:25 the way his spunk lands on her face and a long streak in her dark hair. So many pretty faces covered with sticky thick cum. If you can make it all the way through this video without shooting your load, your balls must be empty.

New Medicaid computer system doesn't end errors
It is causing ongoing frustration, with no end in sight, according to Bruce Burns, Concord Hospital's chief financial officer.
Some of the confusion involved simple coding problems and billing rules that should have been caught before the system went live March 31, Burns said.
It is taking far too long to get up and running, Burns said. "It was not well-managed through this process," he said.
Health and Human Services Commissioner Nicholas Toumpas acknowledged there have been problems since the system went live, but they were to be expected with such a huge project.
"We have been dealing with a major systems conversion," Toumpas said. "I'm not saying everything is perfect, but it has gone remarkably smoothly. The system is stable, and I'm pleased overall with where we are."
Tina Emery, a reimbursement specialist at Seacoast Orthopedics & Sport Medicine in Somersworth, said Medicaid paid $500 for one claim that she would have expected to receive only $50. Another was paid at $300 when she expected $50.
The orthopedic surgery practice has 10 doctors and six physician assistants. Emery suspects the $500 payment for a surgical assistant was paid out as if it were a surgeon by mistake.
She has also received a denial for an assistant surgeon that didn't make sense, especially since Medicaid rules haven't changed in the meantime.
"In my mind, it should have been paid," Emery said. "When I called to ask why it was denied, the girl couldn't tell me. They can't seem to answer questions. They don't know the answers."
"They need to work out the bugs," she said.
Emery was told there is no billing manual, a guide that explains the rules and regulations and how to bill insurers."I was told the powers that be were still working on the billing manual," Emery said.
"We have not paid anything more for the core system for which we contracted," Toumpas said. "What has changed is the additional costs for modifications we wanted or the federal government mandated."
Gov. Maggie Hassan didn't respond to a request for an interview about the MMIS computer system. Her spokesman, Marc Goldberg, sent an email stating: "Implementing the new MMIS system, an innovative program that will significantly improve coordination of health care services, is a substantial undertaking."
Goldberg said Health and Human Services could better respond when asked how the computer payment system would improve the coordination of health care services and copied the question via email to Health and Human Services spokesman Kris Nielsen.
Nielsen said there was no one in the office Friday afternoon who could answer that question, that it would be answered next week.
Toumpas said there have been 15 payment cycles since the system went live, paying about $20 million in claims a week.
Toumpas said he hadn't heard any concerns about overpayments or duplicative payments. The system has been very stable, with little down time, he said.
"Over 60 percent of claims are paid or denied appropriately, and roughly 40 percent are going into suspense," Toumpas said, meaning no determination would be made on whether to pay without researching the claim.
A new call center has opened with 15 to 20 people to respond to questions, Toumpas said, adding Xerox is paying for them.
"If somebody has other issues and frustrations, the appropriate venue is to come talk with me," Toumpas said. "I encourage them to do that."

Don't hold your breath. I guess phasing out Catalyst support for HD 4000,
and older HD series, should be an "incentive" to buy new cards.
IIRC, AMD representatives said the open drivers are a suitable replacement now.
While I love open drivers and indie games - let's face it:
The open drivers are not there yet for modern graphics intensive blockbuster games
which will hopefully (also) come to Linux soon.
And I doubt they'll catch up soon. :/
The Radeon HD 6300M in my laptop ran TF2 just fine with the r600g driver (Ubuntu 12.10), but fps looked to be below 20, Resolution was 1366x768. Interestingly the game suffered from black screen when running with fglrx-update.
their characters could run around with white ear buds on them to indicate they're on a Mac.
So AMD does care about Linux, hm? Good news. Can't wait to see the benchmarks. The less reason people have not to use Linux, the better.
Someone have yet compiled and used this new drivers on Ubuntu 12.10 with success?

School Board analyzes post-retirement program
A program that pays retired Henrico school system employees a percentage of their final annual salaries in exchange for their part-time work within the system saves considerable money on substitute teacher expenses but could provide even more value to the system with several adjustments. That was the conclusion of an in-depth analysis completed by county and school system finance officials, who presented their findings to the School Board Sept. 13. At the beginning of the current fiscal year in July, the board increased the requirements of retirees who participate in the Post-Retirement Earnings Plan (PREP) program, mandating that they work at least 28 days during the school year in order to receive pay equal to 20 percent of their final annual paychecks. Eligible retirees may participate in the program for a maximum of seven years; 388 participate currently. It was the third change made in the past three years by the board, which is seeking to squeeze more value from the 32-year-old program while reducing its annual cost. The PREP budget has dropped from its peak of $8.9 million in 2009 to $5.6 million during the current fiscal year. Prior to this year's change, PREP participants received 22 percent of their final paycheck in exchange for working 24 days a year. The program was created in 1980 as a way to provide a benefit to employees, encourage early retirement and save the school system money. During its budget process this spring, the School Board sought specific data to better determine the effectiveness and value of the program. But last week's work session was proof that categorizing that value is a challenging exercise. Though it's relatively easy to determine the cost savings that results from using PREP retirees as substitute teachers – since there is a standard rate of pay for substitutes – it's much more difficult to determine the value of administrative retirees who perform a variety of other responsibilities, Henrico Finance Director Gene Walter told the School Board. Walter and his staff studied 507 PREP participants who entered the program during the past seven years and whose replacements were hired immediately upon their retirement. (The study didn't include nearly 50 other participants whose former positions were eliminated, he said.) Of those 507, 317 were retired teachers whose combined participation during those seven years saved the system $1.18 for each $1 it spent on the program, Walter said. But Walter and his analysts could not determine a dollar-to-dollar estimate for the other 190 participants because their roles within the system were less defined and often entailed duties for which the system wouldn't have hired temporary help. School system officials recommended that the board consider a number of changes to the program that would make it easier to determine a clear value for each dollar spent in the program, including: • assigning every participant to serve either as a substitute teacher (if qualified) or to fill another capacity with specific and direct calculable benefit to the system (such as SOL remediation); • capping the maximum allowable salary to a participant at $90,000 annually; • increasing the number of required years of Henrico service from 10 years to 15 years for eligible retirees and reducing the number of required years of service in the Virginia Retirement System from 16 to 15; • requiring that interested participants notify the system of their intent by Dec. 1 annually and begin their participation the following July 1 (as opposed to the current system, which permits entry throughout the year – a minimum of 30 days after retirement – and makes budgeting for the program less predictable); • grandfathering all current participants under the current standards until they have completed their seven years or dropped out of the program. "We have determined that there's a large responsibility on everyone's part here to develop something that's going to be very beneficial and cost-effective and also value-added to the school system," Superintendent Pat Russo said during the work session. "That's where we want to move this program." Current guidelines require that participants be at least 50 years old without having attained the age for full, unreduced Social Security benefits. The program initially was designed in part to serve as a bridge between retirement and Social Security, HCPS Finance Director Kevin Smith told the board. Using current standards, 854 current school system employees would be eligible to participate in the PREP program if they retired, HCPS Human Resources Executive Director Howard Banks said. The board is expected to discuss the recommendations and the PREP program again at a meeting next month. |

I'm afraid this MMORPG is for Windows only at the moment 8(
Phoronix: A New MMORPG On The Linux-Friendly Unigine
It's looking like next year may be quite a positive year for Linux gaming with the likely open-sourcing of Desura, open-source Doom 3 code being in the wild, hopefully the Rage Linux client, and several games powered by the Linux-friendly Unigine Engine gearing up for release, among other Linux gaming announcements...
I'm afraid this MMORPG is for Windows only at the moment 8(
How about ET:QW II? (map glitches fixed, more maps, meta-game). Or Battlefield for Linux? But nooo, just another MMORPG. That sums up to how much for linux? (Vendetta Online, Regnum Online, Ryzom, PlaneShift, Relics of Annorath (currently in development), Syndicates of Arkon (currently no Linux client, but based on Unigine)...and then there is still the approaching shitstorm caused by the Unity webplayer which will be ported to linux.) That will be at least (including Unity games) 10 MMORPGs.
I've to admit, there are a lot of Ego-Shooters for linux...but nearly no Multiplayer-Storybased Ego-Shooters (like ET:QW) which makes me sad.
yer so not linux... why is it posted on phoronix then?
sure it is using Unigine which is linux-compatible, but so is the unreal engine.
really Phoronix should just stop reporting on gaming for linux. NOTHING on the linux gaming front has improved it has gotten worse, so why report on a new MMORPG for windows when this is a linux news site?
at least is good to see koreans using a multiplatform engine like unigine and if there is demand i dont think they can make too many excuses to not start porting...
Why don't we request them to port it? I mean, how hard could it be if they just used Unigine components?
Why should they not port it, if they could have a greater number of sales? (Look at HoN for example).
