The Anderson County Commissioners Court voted to seek bids for an architect to design a new roof for the Anderson County Jail during its meeting Monday.
"We have major issues at the old jail — the roof has over 100 leaks and we have patched it up numerous times," Anderson County Sheriff Greg Taylor said.
Taylor said major work was done on the jail's existing flat roof in 2002, but the warranty has run out.
Anderson County Judge Robert Johnston encouraged commissioners to replace the current flat roof with possibly a new metal shed roof in the near future.
"We need to get it fixed right. We have too much invested in that building to let it go to waste," Johnston said.
Also during the meeting, commissioners discussed whether or not to make its 2012 payments to Tyler Technologies due to ongoing problems related to the county software conversion.
At the July 23, 2012 commissioners' court meeting, upon advice from Anderson County District Attorney Doug Lowe, the court voted to send a letter to the company stating that the county would deduct funds from maintenance payments and/or withhold payment until the issue is fixed.
Anderson County District Clerk Janice Staples reported at both the July 2012 meeting and at Monday's meeting that her office, which processes paperwork for district judges and the sheriff's office, has been unable to create reports for the Attorney General's office that would reimburse several thousands of dollars in fees to the county.
"We are still having issues and are not getting any help from Tyler Technologies," Staples said.
There are currently four payments received — with only one posted as of now, Staples said. Without help from Tyler Technologies, the payments will not post.
Though the company did provide a two-hour training session in October 2012, Staples said more help is needed for the district clerk office employees.
"They expect us to do it and we are just clerks and deputy clerks. We are not computer programmers," Staples said.
Staples' office has been attempting to do the reports by hand. Numerous trouble tickets have been sent to Tyler Technologies as well.
Anderson County Auditor Karin Smith reported that if the 2012 withheld payments to Tyler Technologies are not paid now, the county might have issues with the budget down the line.
Johnston voiced his continuing frustration on the issue.
"How do we fix the problem?" Johnston asked.
Smith suggested a return to regular meetings with Tyler Technologies to discuss the ongoing issues.
After discussion, the court voted to approve the 2012 payments to Tyler Technologies to avoid budget issues in the future.
"We have money allocated to pay it. We owe the money. The system works whether we can use it or not because many other counties do use it," Johnston said.
Staples said many of the other counties that use Tyler Technologies' software generally are bigger cities with large IT (information technology) departments that can help with the issues, while Anderson County does not.
In other business, the commissioners' court:
• APPROVED minutes from previous meetings, reports from county officials, budget amendments and bills.
• APPROVED utility crossing county roads
• APPROVED Anderson County Cafeteria Plan, which includes the county employees' health insurance, dental insurance and supplemental insurance policies from various vendors.
• APPROVED Resolution for the Sale of Property held by Elkhart ISD; Re: Tract 1: Being 9.379 Acres, block 1033, Tract 13A, part of the Joseph Kennedy Survey, Abstract AO456, as described in deed recorded in Volume 1555, Page 493, on instrument filed June 15, 1998, Anderson County, Texas and being further identified on the tax rolls and records of Elkhart Independent School District under Account Number R23068.
• APPROVED Resolution for the Sale of Property held by Elkhart ISD; Re: Tract 1: Being 0.17 acres, more or less, Tract 5, Block 981 in the Reuben Brown Survey, Abstract 13, as described in Warranty Deed with Vendor's Lien recorded in Volume 1779, Page 392, on instrument filed April 7, 2003, Anderson County, Texas and being further identified on the tax rolls and records of the Elkhart ISD and the City of Elkhart ISD and the City of Elkhart under account number R11471.

Even though it's more expensive than where I would normally stay, we stayed there because other family members were staying there. We were in town for... a Memorial Service. The breakfast was delicious and the men at the front counter helped me with my computer and with printing out a speech I needed to give. We also enjoyed the drinks in the evening.

- Good Graphics and Soundquality
- Sureal Gameplay in the dreams of Shaun Randall
- 4 Weapons with different qualitys and weaknesses
- Loads of Riddles and Puzzles
- Loads of horrorsequences
- Disturbing athmosphere.
You play as Shaun Randall... after you`re time in the military, you lived a quiet, maybe a bit boring life. You worked as an office employee in a preserved food facility, your payment was good enough for you, your son Mike and your attractive but ordinary wife Kelly. One day, you wanted to go to work, but a Taxi knocked you down. You survived the accident but you`ve lost your legs. They where petrified forever. You would be bound to a wheelchair for the rest of you`re entire life.
You`ve been assigned to a mental hospital after you`re first try to kill yourself.
One of the Therapists, Doctor Van Wargen, had understanding and compassion for you. He gave you an Injection that killed you. You`ve been euthanised. The Doctor did everything necessary so It would look like a suicide.

Dear Reader,
since the game grew in scope and content and since I want to avoid confusion: Catathrenia has now its own profile here on Mod/Indiedb. Check it out here.
Now allow me to post some last images of the more reality grounded levels of the game for you:
This is also the place where you receive the intro speech. I want
to have an animated character here having a conversation with the
protagonist..however, we all know what happens to naive ambitions a
developer has at the start. I am very optimistic about this project
though so you can expect a few extra goodies from me.

This game is very well done, and has a great potential!!!
What are the system requirements for this game????????
A dual or even better a quad core CPU. I'm sorry but this game might lag at singlecore systems or crash. A good Pentium 4 should run it though.
A graphics card. Minimum Nvidia 7+ Series or similar ATI card. I would recommend Video Memory of at least 256 MB
2 Gig Ram Minimum
1,25 Gigabyte free hard disk space.
Well maybe I'm an idiot, but I got the 2 guns, killed the 3 monsters, and there doesn't seem to be anywhere I can go, so I'm stuck.
There looks like there's a lever I could pull down, but pushing E near it just makes me read the clipboard on the wall.
Sorry if I'm making too many comments, but it won't let me edit past 5 minutes.
Jupp! Thats a bug that occurs rarely. Please install the latest patch and restart the level. DO NOT MAKE SAVEGAMES. The latest patch has savegames for every level within it. You should find a key in the atelier where you found the guns now.
Ah.. nevermind. It worked when I started a new game.
I'm looking all around where the key should be (where I found the guns) but I just can't find it. I have the patch and I started from a new game after installing the patch.
Start a new game, wait until its loaded, go back to main menu, start it again and that glitch should be gone. If not, simply load level 2 via Load Game Menue
Yeah, I got the patch, it's a shame you had to remove 2 of the levels though, hopefully you'll find a way to put them back in the future.
Alright, once I found the cleaver, that bug stopped happening.
Kinda reminds me of the Dementium series so far, pretty cool.

[1]University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, IL, USA
HIIPER is an experimental space propulsion device using a helicon and an IEC as a plasma generation and acceleration stage, respectively. There is an experiment in progress, but for true rapid iteration and to model the performance of the engine, COMSOL is a strong candidate for fulfilling these roles and continuing with the project until its production phase. The simulation is built with very ...

Wine Festival is underway
Oct 1, 2012 / 5:00 am
The Okanagan Fall Wine Festival kicked off over the weekend with some fantastic wine tasting events, and there is plenty more to come! Our wine festival offers us over 165 events during a period of 10 days. That's quite a selection! There are grape stomp events like the one at House of Rose Winery (I Love Lucy, anyone?), which is a free event (they also ask you to bring a non-perishable item for the Food Bank). Or you can feast on harvest dishes paired expertly with local wines at wineries like Little Straw, Gray Monk, Summerhill, or Ex Nihilo.
Local restaurants also host their own wine festival events, like the Wild Apple Restaurant with its wine festival menu. Really, there are so many options of great events to enjoy. You can find them all listed on the Okanagan Wine Festival Society website. Insider tip: I have found the Search button to be very useful: I can put in which dates I'm looking for, which city I want to find events for, and pair my search down considerably that way. The Okanagan Fall Wine Festival runs now through October 7.
Even after wine festival has concluded, there will still be many occasions to enjoy our local wineries. Many of our local wineries are open for tours and tastings through October and even through the winter. You can always call our Visitor Counselors from Tourism Kelowna to get some ideas as to which wineries to visit, winery hours of operation and tour costs, and so on. Just stop in – you're welcome anytime. The downtown Visitor Centre at 544 Harvey Ave and the Information Kiosk at the Kelowna International Airport are both operated by Tourism Kelowna.

An infographic piece by Patrick Clair dissecting the nature and rammifications of Stuxnet, the first weapon made entirely out of code. Not only is it great to look at, but very informative and very well put together piece of animation. Clair uses clean and clear typography teamed with neat illustrator images to make his point. A great hit!

Spotify Taps Hong Kong Music Fans to Chase Pandora Outside U.S.
Stock Chart for Pandora Media Inc (P)
Spotify Ltd., the London-based online music provider, begins services in Asia today in a race against Pandora Media Inc. (P) to expand globally.
Users in Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia can access Spotify's music service funded by advertisements for free using a desktop, General Manager Jonathan Forster said. They can also opt for a paid, ad-free premium service that works across all platforms including mobile devices, he said in a phone interview from Hong Kong.
Spotify is expanding access on mobile gadgets as more users listen to music from handsets and tablets, Forster said. The company plans to use Hong Kong as a stepping stone to enter mainland China, a nation with more Internet users than any country's population except India.
"We want to be everywhere where there's a speaker," Forster said. "It's really important for us to expand our business into as many countries as possible."
Forster didn't specify when the company plans to start operating in mainland China.
Including the Asian markets, Spotify is available in 23 countries and regions. It has more than 6 million paying subscribers and 24 million active users, including in the U.S., U.K., and Australia, according to its website.
Oakland, California-based Pandora, the leader in Internet radio, only offers its service in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. It has 200 million registered users, with 67 million monthly active listeners, according to company figures.
Hong Kong users can pay HK$48 ($6) a month to access the premium service, Forster said. Non-paying listeners of Spotify have limited control over song selection and hear advertising.

Weather in January in the south of Ethiopia (Omo Valley)
Hello,we will fly to ethiopia in January. Can somebody tell me something about the weather and especially the temprature in the nighttime? We will have sometimes a hostel and sometimes tents. So what is the lowest temperature in the night? I could not find somehing in the internet about this area. Highest temperature at daytime?
Thanks a lot
What are some good hostels in Omo Valley? I will also be in Ethiopia in January.4
I used some campsite and lodges in Lower Omo Valley but did not come across hostels. I stayed at http://eco-omo.com/ Eco Omo Safari Lodge in Jinka and in Turmi at Buska Lodge & Campsitehttp://buskalodge.com/ It's possible to pitch your tent at different indigenous tribe villages if you have optimistic driver as I was fortunate to have, contact http://www.south-expedition-africa.com/
My friends looking for others (one or two) to join for 5 days in the Omo Valley starting from Arba Minch this Tuesday. They will fly on Tuesday from Addis to Arba Minch. The price is approx $150 and that can be split by how many people we get to join. If you have a cell phone, the best way to reach them 0910510910 firstname.lastname@example.com or LAURA PEPITA GRILLO <email@example.com

Picture yourself spending some time with congenial friends, sharing your lives and pictures from your cell phones." They're curious about that cool game, song, movie, camping trip, art show, or other event that fascinated you. You talk about all kinds of stuff, poetry, styles, personal achievements, relationships, and bad days. You can share your inner child, and laugh together. They sympathetically listen to your feelings about serious topics like politics or climate change, even when they don't agree.
Personal validation comes from paying attention to one another, giving more than you get. Everyone respects you and themselves, despite our amazing range of personal tastes and interests. They'll tell you they don't agree with an idea or behavior without implying you're a bad person or somehow deficient. It's an "I'm OK, You're OK" kind of fellowship, where nobody tries to make himself look better by picking on somebody else.
Nobody here is into mind games. A discussion started with a loaded guilt-throwing question will be deleted.
This group is not intended to compete with other groups on topics they cover but to "fill in the cracks." Whenever a discussion dwells at length on a topic for which there's an existing group, we urge you to provide members a link to that group to continue along their tangent.
A comment is a shout-out, which will get lost in a few days, because the comment wall is just a random stack.
Please start a discussion to share stories, photos, and videos. Replies will pop up in your "latest activity" and a conversation can develop from the feelings and thoughts you contributed. Groups are built on discussions.

I'm off to bed now, but this is what I will see first thing in the morning:
sk8eycat It came through! and STUNNING! I can't even imagine how the people in that car felt and the other people in the caravan! Now that is the way to bring home the wildlife! Thanks so much.
Ian, is it correct grammar to end a sentence with a proposition?
[ducks and runs for the kitchen]
I don't know if this link will work from here; you may have to Copy and Paste it in your browser, but it's WORTH it! SPEK-TACK-YOU-LER!
Such cats, Steph! Put a big smile on my morning.
The "do not end a sentence with a preposition" rule has little to do with original English grammar. It's an import from Latin and was imposed "from above" at some comparatively late date to poshen things up.
Hey, What a coincidence, my wife and I went to a Mexican restaurant this evening!!! We are both stuffed!!!!! LOL
Grinning Cat, Oh dear! Rub it in! Hey, that sounds good:
"This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put."
Grinning cat, you sure have a way of making me laugh!

FOR RELEASE: TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2012You couldn't ask for a more romantic guide to Valentine's Day than the Scorpio moon. Passion is Scorpio's forte, and it's not so shabby at stirring up the other kinds of love, either. There will be an abundance of truthful and creative expressions of affection. Do be cautious, though. "Safety first" is a good motto under the intense Scorpio moon. ARIES (March 21-April 19). You come alive in a small group and will steal the show with your charm. If you're not already planning to be around a few close friends, pull a last-minute soiree together. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Partners and friends may want more of your time than you expected to give. Keep the schedule loose, and you'll be able to accommodate the fun surprises and twists of the day. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Being enamored causes you to stretch your usual bounds of reason. You may act silly, believe the unbelievable or suddenly want with your heart instead of your head. CANCER (June 22-July 22). Not wanting to perpetuate generic sentiments, you'll find a way to celebrate this holiday that highlights the unique way you give your love. You'll excel at this creative challenge. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Even when your activities are relatively down to earth, exciting escapes and miraculous fantasies dominate your thoughts. Tonight's rendezvous turns out even better than you could have planned. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your presence is calming, your warmth disarming. The one who's always "on" will feel comfortable enough to relax and be real around you. Tonight's conversation reveals deep affection. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You have many people to please, and you don't want to leave anyone out. Be careful not to spend so much time on your large circle of friends and family that you neglect the tight circle of your nearest and dearest. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're not one for sappy sentiments. You say the honest truth, and it will be the most loving and affectionate expression anyone could want to hear. Tonight features a sit-down dinner and lively conversation. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a plan, but you're always willing to ditch it for something with exciting promise. Unexpected twists of plot will carry you into the arms of love. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a way of inspiring others to bring their "A" game. Tonight: You may be moved to spend your money on something you didn't used to consider valuable. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In an act that blends your musical and emotional intelligence, you'll learn the song that's inside the heart of your love so you can sing it back in quiet moments. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You know that you will change and so will your relationship. You endeavor to take those changes in a positive direction. You welcome the chance to make romance a priority. TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 14). You'll dare to dream and create the future. Next month brings greater self-discipline and a new fitness regimen. You'll love the boost you get from helpful people in April. This summer, someone treats you like a special date — again and again. It will feel lovely to be cherished. New financial avenues open up in June. Taurus and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 50, 7, 22 and 19. QUOTES FOR THE HEART: "Love that is not madness is not love." — Pedro Calderon de la Barca, Capricorn dramatist, poet, soldier and priest. Barca was born in 1600, when romantic Venus was in expansive Sagittarius. "Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love." — Albert Einstein, Pisces theoretical physicist born when Venus was in young, excitable Aries. "Love is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction." — Antoine de Saint-Exupry, Cancer aristocrat, aviator and laureate born when Venus was also in nurturing Cancer. "We're all a little weird. And life's a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love." — Robert Fulghum, Gemini author and minister born when Venus was in comfortable Taurus. "Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity." — Henry van Dyke, Scorpio author, teacher and clergyman born when Venus was in balanced Libra. CELEBRITY PROFILES: New Yorkers heart Valentine's Day baby Michael Bloomberg, which they proved by voting him into the office of mayor for an unprecedented three terms. The billionaire was born when the sun, the moon, Mercury and Venus were all in the socially conscious, unconventional and forward-thinking sign of Aquarius. This confluence of intellectual Aquarian energy is the sign of a true visionary.

CINCINNATI — A lamb was born unto a Cincinnati nativity display.
The Krohn Conservatory says that a night watchman oversaw the Christmas Eve delivery for a sheep that was part of the live-animal display.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that conservatory officials say the birthing went well and the mother and lamb were doing fine. The conservatory's director says they are thinking of calling the female lamb "Merry," for "Merry Little Christmas."
Other details weren't immediately available.

March 8, 2012 (CHICAGO) (WLS) -- The stock markets have come a long way since hitting historic lows three years ago. In fact, the Dow Jones average is up 100 percent.
On Thursday, the Dow closed at 12,908 -- up more than 70 points. The NASDAQ closed up nearly 35 points.
The Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) volatility index closed just under 18 Thursday. The index is an indicator of volatility in the stock market. In 2008, the index hit a record, going above 80.
"I remember those days very well they were hairy scary days," said JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade. "It was scary, particularly for those who didn't understand the market quite as well."
Kinahan recalls those days when the market experienced steep dives. He says despite the scares, it forced investors to look more carefully at their investment and understand more before going in. Kinahan says now clients' decisions are more informed.
"We've seen a great interest in education of how things work," said Kinahan. "It's no longer set it and forget as they used to say in terms of mutual funds."
One might think an economist would love to witness the historic shifts in the market. But the reality is Professor Tassos Malliaras watched his investments dive like the rest of us.
"In my case, most people's portfolios, the amount of money that you had dropped to what you had three or four years ago," said Malliaris, who specializes in economics and finance at Loyola University's School of Business. "It is very easy to panic and say there will be further declines, therefore, I should get out."
Professor Malliaras says the history of the market shows it will continue to grow. He finds most who held firm in their investments have made up losses from the recession and he sees lessons learned from the Great Depression which helped cap the losses.
"We should be happy and pleased and proud we did not repeat the mistakes they made at that time," said Malliaras.
With this recession, Professor Malliaras kept his investments and he's glad he did. He recommends those interested in making investment changes do so in stages.

INTERVIEW: GUIDING LIGHT star Kim Zimmer
On why we don't see as many characters in a full episode anymore: "That is because of budget. They cannot afford to work people the way they used to work us. I still have real issues with the interiors, personally, because I am an outdoor person. I love being in Peapack, New Jersey, because we have so much room. I don't necessarily like the interior shooting we do in Peapack. I still have major issues with the studio sets and with the lighting and the sound. I still have issues with why we don't wear body mics while we are in Peapack. It also limits the directors on how they can move the actors in that wonderful space we have out there."
LoCicero cast on GH
TV Guide reports that Lisa LoCicero (ex-Sonia, OLTL; ex-Jocelyn, LOVING/THE CITY) has been cast as Kate's cousin, Olivia, on GENERAL HOSPITAL. She'll show up for the Sonny/Kate nuptials on Sept. 19 thanks to a secret invite from Sonny.
Pennridge native Erin Torpey celebrates a Homecoming at Puck
"I love acting, it's all I'd ever known, but music was so much more personal," said the Perkasie native and former ONE LIFE TO LIVE actress in a recent telephone interview from her home in Los Angeles. "I could act in front of anybody, but to sing a song in front of anybody ... you can't hide behind a character. It's completely different.
"I've even sung the National Anthem at Giants Stadium. That's so easy compared to being in front of 10 people, singing songs you wrote. You can see everybody's face - it's petrifying."
LYNN LICCARD: 1968 - More Than Enough (on OLTL)

Latest news
US-based cybersecurity company Mandiant claims that in 2011, around 80 major U.S. law firms were hacked.
According to Bloomberg, some 200 New York City law firms were invited last November to a meeting set up by the cyber division in the New York City office of the FBI, where they were warned about the cyber criminals' interest in breaching law firms' systems in search of information that will give advantage to their clients.
We told them they need a diagram of their network; they need to know how computer logs are kept, said Mary Galligan, head of the aforementioned cyber division, and noted that while some were well prepared, others didnt know what they were talking about.
A perfect example for showing that this trend must be taken seriously is the failed acquisition of a Canadian company that is the worlds largest potash producer.
In 2010, Australian BHP Billiton Ltd. was looking to buy Potash Corp. to the tune of around $40 billion. At the same time, China-based Sinochem Group was looking to do the same.
In order to do that, the Chinese chemical company (previously state owned) hired Deutsche Bank AG and Citigroup Inc. to assess possible measures to derail the nearly concluded deal between BHP and Potash Corp. And, according to Daniel Tobok, CEO of Canadian security consulting firm Digital Wyzdom, at the same time a number of law firms - including the one that was involved in brokering the deal - suffered intrusions into and disruptions of their networks and systems.
The hackers used a common tactic to gain access to them: they sent spoofed emails with attachments carrying spyware to the firm's employees. Tobok says that an analysis of the malware revealed that it was compiled on a Chinese-language keyboard, and that China-based servers were used in the attack.
And the law firms were not the only ones targeted. The same approach was used to rifle to the systems of Canadas Finance Ministry and the Treasury Board.
Other examples similar to this one can be easily cited - cyber espionage has, unfortunately, become an often used way of gaining an advantage when it comes to negotiating financial deals worth billions.
Although the aforementioned deal wasn't concluded for other reasons, the investigation into the matter shows that law firms must begin considering having their own security experts protecting the information clients shared with them.
But, as Mary Galligan points out, their job might prove to be very difficult because in partners in law firms like to have the opportunity to review case documents - usually transferred by mail - on the road or at home, and they are used to getting their way. Convincing the to use more complex solutions to keep the documents safe from cyber spies is not going to be easy.

Former members of The Doors, comedian Denis Leary, Neon Indian coming to town
More Just Announced
- Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds to play first-ever headlining Milwaukee show June 20 at Milwaukee Theatre
- The Get Down will return to Turner Hall for annual New Year's Eve bash
- Martin Short to perform at Pabst Theater January 18
- Screech strikes back: Dustin Diamond's Bayside Bash returns to Turner Hall Nov. 27
- Metric to play Turner Hall Nov. 22
Are you sick of all the baseball talk? Tired of the endless soft-ball sports columns and suggestions for improving tailgating at Miller Park? Nope, neither are we. But for those folks who do happen to find our national pastime about as interesting as dirt (who are you people?), we've got some breaking concert announcements that should make this glorious Opening Day go down a little bit easier.
First up, prepare to have your consciousnesses expanded and your minds completely blown, man, when two former members of The Doors—keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger—stop by the Pabst Theater on Sunday, May 30. You may remember The Doors as one of those pop-culture institutions that have been so thoroughly picked over and ridiculed for the past 40 years that they're now virtually joke-proof. If only we could enlist the help of a professional…
"I'm drunk, I'm nobody. I'm drunk, I'm famous. I'm drunk, I'm fucking dead." So goes the life of Doors front man Jim Morrison in a classic bit from comedian Denis Leary's 1992 album, No Cure For Cancer. While Leary may have dialed back the vitriol in the ensuing years, he still remains terrifically funny, and a formidable comedic concern. The Rescue Me star will perform at the Riverside Theater on Thursday, June 17, along with Lenny Clarke and Adam Ferrara of the Rescue Me Comedy Tour. A portion of each ticket sold will go to Leary's Firefighter Foundation, which provides equipment and facilities to East Coast firehouses.
Finally, 21-year-old Alan Palomo, a.k.a. Neon Indian, will bring his gauzy, '80s-tinged electro-pop to Turner Hall on Saturday, July 17. Palomo's debut album, 2009's Psychic Chasms, was lauded by critics and deemed "Best New Music" by everybody's favorite music website to bitch about, Pitchfork. If that fact alone makes you cringe in disgust, maybe this video will change your mind. Until then, play ball! Er, enjoy!

Film 07:46 pm Hayden Christensen to Star in 'Inner Circle' (EXCLUSIVE) Bunkered with the bookers | Chat show puzzle pieces in play In an ever-changing media landscape, personal publicists are more crucial yet more irrelevant than ever. The PR maven was once a necessity for only the biggest stars, but nowadays everyone from the third lead on a CW series to a tentpole writer pays the going rate of $4,000 per month to the town's phalanx of PR pros. That's a bargain, given the value of savvy press management in the era of TMZ, Perez Hilton, Page Six and the half-dozen weekly glossies that increasingly dictate the national conversation. As the public's appetite for Hollywood gossip booms, publicists find themselves in 24/7 fix-it mode. On the other hand, some celebs — including Angelina Jolie and Robert Pattinson — question the necessity of flacks: With a growing number of people who "report" details without ever verifying their accuracy, many Tinseltown celebs and/or publicists have decided it's impossible to counter, so they simply ignore the gossipmongers. In contrast with the ignore-it-and-it-will-go-away publicists, 42 West, founded by PMK defector Leslee Dart, and Kelly Bush's ID are among the newish agencies that successfully employ a proactive approach. "The biggest change we've seen in the past 18 months — and it began even before that — is the speed at which everything happens," says Bush. "If you are not ahead of the story, the blog post or the tabloid break, you can't be effective." Those two firms are examples of how the nature of personal PR representation has changed. The once-mighty PMK endured 2010′s biggest shakeups when it lost power publicists Robin Baum, Simon Halls, Stephen Huvane, Melissa Kates and Jennifer Allen. Meanwhile, 42 West and ID have weathered the tumultuous period by stemming staff erosion and staying true to their brands. Both are bicoastal, with ID dominating in Los Angeles (with such talent as Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, Natalie Portman and Christopher Nolan and brands like Neutrogena and Nintendo), while 42 West reigns in Gotham with a client list that includes Martin Scorsese, Meryl Streep, Tom Cruise and Lady Gaga. Perhaps their biggest success can be measured by the number of tabloid covers their clients don't grace. Even onetime tabloid mainstay Britney Spears, who is repped by 42 West's Holly Shakoor, now garners less ink in the glossies than she did two years ago. That seems to be the result of a carefully crafted media plan. "As recently as five years ago, each agency had its own unique culture," notes a longtime agency veteran. "The old adage was, 'You could spot a PMK girl walking down the street.' The era of the big unified agency is over. It's not about the agency anymore. It's about the individual publicists and their client lists." In the heyday of the Hollywood studios in the 1920s-50s, inhouse PR mavens ruled; they eventually gave way to outside personal publicists, who invented positive stories about clients, countered negative ones and issued press releases. These personal publicists were the foundation of many PR agencies, such as Rogers & Cowan. The publicist would travel the globe to accompany the star; now, the larger agencies earn significantly higher income from corporate clients, who can easily run up six-figure monthly tabs. Only a decade ago, a PR maven wooed a few dozen journalists. The Pat Kingsleys of the world had relationships, they had leverage. But the days of the controlling publicist are gone. Now, instead of a few important news outlets, there are hundreds. In an era of "gotcha!" journalism, even mainstream publications enjoy taking stars down a peg or two, like the L.A. Times' recent piece advising Leonardo DiCaprio to rethink his career path, under the headline "Lighten up, Leo." Furthermore, not everyone wants to verify facts about a celeb's personal or professional moves. Many journalists call the publicist to say "I'm running with this story, just thought I'd give you a heads up" — if they even do that. And the old strategy of trying to control negative stories is often futile. That may be why some of Hollywood's biggest stars, including Jolie and Brad Pitt, are eschewing the PR guru in favor of a trusted family member. Amid these frustrations, the publicist is increasingly asked to hold the hands of stars who fear their shelf-life is limited due to the public's ever-increasing entertainment options. And publicists are getting more nervous about booking a star for a talkshow or an interview, because if something goes wrong, it makes them all look bad. So the bottom line is that stars want their publicist to work harder, and often for less money. "There is a disconnect between the value of good publicity and what we are paid and how we are perceived," explains Bush. Amid increasing agency fragmentation, one emerging trend finds celebs playing an exiting publicist against their former firm, with the star demanding (and sometimes getting) free months of PR in exchange for staying with the firm. "That sets a bad precedent. It's like negotiating with a terrorist," quips one longtime publicist.

21 Mar 2010
The Cunning Little Vixen, London
An enchanting evening at Covent Garden:
Heldentenor Jay Hunter Morris tells us about the lean times when the phone did not ring, as well as those thrilling moments when companies entrusted him with the most important roles in opera.
In its ongoing celebration of Verdi's centennial year, the Los Angeles Opera offered a new production of Falstaff, the composer's last and most brilliant opera — brilliant in every scintillating, sparkling sense of the word.
Poor Weber: opera companies, especially in England, do him anything but proud.
Acis and Galatea was one of Handel's most popular works, frequently revived in his life time and beyond.
German tenor Werner Güra, who has made a speciality of the German lieder repertoire, opened this recital at the Wigmore Hall with Beethoven's An Die Ferne Geliebte, the composer's only song cycle and the first significant example of the form.
It's been renamed "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess," it hails itself as "The American Musical" and further qualifies itself as "The Porgy and Bess for the Twenty-First Century."
Richard Wagner wrote: "The voyage through the Norwegian reefs made a wonderful impression on my imagination; the legend of the Flying Dutchman, which the sailors verified, took on a distinctive, strange coloring that only my sea adventures could have given it."
'If she is adulterous, why is she praised? If chaste, why was she put to death?'
San Francisco Opera wraps up its fall season of five operas with what it insists is a new production of Rossini's comic masterpiece.
On Remembrance Sunday, Semyon Bychkov conducted Benjamin Britten's War Requiem at the Royal Albert Hall with Roderick Williams, Allan Clayton, Sabrina Cvilak, the BBC Symphony Orchestra, the BBC Symphony Chorus, Crouch End Festival Chorus and choristers of Westminster Abbey.
The mantle of tenor Peter Pears' legacy hung heavily over his immediate 'successors', as they performed music that had been composed by Benjamin Britten for the man to whom he avowed, 'I write every note with your heavenly voice in my head'.
One year since the launch of their project to create a contemporary book of Italians madrigals, vocal ensemble Exaudi returned to the Wigmore Hall to present an intermingling of old and new madrigals which was typically inventive, virtuosic and compelling.
Mozart's The Magic Flute at the Coliseum could give the ENO a welcome boost.
Lyric Opera of Chicago's current new production of Giacomo Puccini's Madama Butterfly, an effort shared with Houston Grand Opera and the Grand Théâtre de Genève, tends to emphasize emotional involvements against a backdrop of spare sets.
Dmitri Shostakovich's opera, The Nose, based on Gogol's short story of the same name, was a smash hit for the Metropolitan Opera company in 2010 and once again, this season.
There might not be much 'Serenissima' about Yoshi Oida's 2007 production of Death in Venice — it's more Japanese minimalism than Venetian splendour — but there is still plenty to admire, as this excellent revival by Opera North as part of its centennial celebration, Festival of Britten, underlines.
With an absorbing production of Peter Grimes and a freshly spontaneous La bohème, Canadian Opera Company has set the bar very high indeed for its current season.
Whatever you think of some of the Metropolitan Opera's recent productions, you cannot fault the Gelb administration for fearing to take risks.
The lustreless white tiles of the laboratory which forms the set of Keith Warner's pitiless staging of Alban Berg's Wozzeck offer little respite — cold, hard, rigid and severe, they are a material embodiment of the bleakness and barrenness of the tragic events which will be played out within the workshop walls (sets by Stefanos Lazaridis).
At this year's Wexford Festival — the 62nd operatic gathering in this small south-eastern Irish town - the trio of operas on show present many a wretched battle between duty and desire.
An enchanting evening at Covent Garden:
what with this and The
Gambler, things seem to be looking up, following a dispiriting spell
in the Christof Loy doldrums. Indeed, the theatrical and musical magic woven
here could not stand further removed from the pretentious dreariness inflicted
upon new productions of Lulu
and Tristan
und Isolde. Bill Bryden's production of The Cunning Little
Vixen was first staged in 1990 but, twenty years on, it is yet to look
tired. For this, William Dudley's designs deserve a great deal of credit.
There is to action and staging a crucial sense of life, in all its complexity,
never more ambiguous than when it is apparently straightforward. The
life-cycle, human or animal — should the distinction even be made?
— is the guiding force, in every sense, of Janáček's drama,
and so, appropriately enough, one sees a huge circle on stage, which provides a
treadmill for walking as well as a frame in which the first act's
acrobatic 'Spirit of the Vixen' may swing. Here, form is wondrously
imparted to the Vixen's dream, both for the eye and the ear. Humour,
arguably more immediate, if less idiomatic, when sung in English, was present
too, for instance in the portrayal of the clannish farmyard hens, large and
contented, unable to heed the Vixen's siren-voice of feminist revolt. It
is, however, the interplay between wondrous machinery and Nature that
penetrates to the very heart of the opera. This both highlighted such
relationships in the score and put me in mind of another Royal Opera
production: David McVicar's Magic Flute — never more
magical than when heard under Sir Colin Davis (available on DVD). Lighting
(Paule Johnson), colours, and scenery ensure that Nature is present,
overflowing in her abundance, without being domesticated or prettified; for
there is wildness aplenty in Janáček's score, and this must be
reflected in the action.
(Left to Right) Christopher Maltman as Forester, Jeremy White as Priest and Robin Leggate as Schoolmaster
It must, of course, above all be expressed by the orchestra, and so it was here. The name of Sir Charles Mackerras is so indelibly associated with Janáček's music that one might take for granted his excellence. However, I doubt that even the most jaded listener — note that one must listen, rather than passively consume — could have done so in this case. The angularities of Janáček's score, so often ironed out by conductors not so intimately attuned to the idiom, were immediate and telling, but they were always integrated into a longer line, never aggressive, let alone exhibitionistic, for their own sake: the opposing temptation to smoothing out. Equally apparent, and again never merely for their own sake, were the ravishing beauties of the score's extraordinary sound-world — extraordinary even by Janáček's standards. One example would be that utterly characteristic high string sound, split into several parts, which one might be tempted to call Straussian, but which is in reality quite different, if anything more akin to the Schoenberg of Gurrelieder. (Janáček was greatly interested in the music of the Second Viennese School.) Building of climaxes was masterly, above all in the great, pantheistic conclusion, so redolent, or rather prophetic, of the Glagolitic Mass. Life goes on, yet is transformed, transfigured. Tension had sagged slightly, I thought, both on stage and in the musical performance, during the first half of the third act, but this conclusion certainly compensated. As Sir Charles's aforementioned knighted colleague sounds so effortlessly right in Mozart, so does Mackerras in Janáček. How odd, then, that this was the first time he had conducted the work at Covent Garden, though not quite so odd as the fact that Bryden's production has no predecessors in the house. (Having said that, The Cunning Little Vixen received its Paris premiere as recently as 2008, and then in a production borrowed from Lyons.)
A scene from The Cunning Little Vixen
If Mackerras and the orchestra, which throughout played superlatively, a match for any other ensemble, were the brightest stars in the firmament, then they were ably supported by much of the cast. Most impressive of all was Christopher Maltman, whose Forester grew in stature, as he should, as the work progressed. The final transfiguration was as much his as the natural world's. Elisabeth Meister, a Jette Paker Young Artist, had originally been slated to sing the roles of the Rooster and the Jay, but had to replace Emma Bell at very short notice, the latter having been rushed to hospital for an emergency appendectomy. Meister proved a winning replacement, moving in her love for the Vixen: an anthropomorphic fantasy, maybe, but an irresistible one. Sadly, Emma Matthews brought no especial individuality to the title role, though she did nothing especially wrong either. Many of the smaller roles, however, were sharply etched, most memorably Matthew Rose's poacher, Harašta, Robin Leggate's lovelorn Schoolmaster, and Jeremy White, both as priest and badger. The children, drawn from various London schools, did not disappoint either.
Performance in English did not disconcert me as much as I had feared. There is loss, of course, in terms of the music's relationship to the language's speech-rhythms, but this registered less than it had during ENO's Katya Kabanova earlier in the week. Perhaps it was a better translation; there was certainly more opportunity, often very well taken, for wit. Banking jokes may be easy, but sometimes we should be grateful for any weapon we have. One gripe though: why start at 8 p.m.? It made no especial difference to me, but a 7.30 start would have been of help to those who had to travel out of London, or who simply wished to dine a little earlier. Such practical reservations should not detract, however, from a triumphant return to form for the Royal Opera.
The Cunning Little Vixen will be broadcast by BBC Radio 3 on Saturday 15 May at 6 p.m.

Dolphins QB Carousel: Time for John Beck in Miami
The trouble started with the team's controversial selection of Ted Ginn Jr. over Brady Quinn in the 2007 Draft. And it's been all downhill since then.
In the wake of the Fins' 9th loss—by a field goal to the Buffalo Bills—the season is all but finished. It was all but finished in Week Seven, in fact.
My only question:
Why does head coach Cam Cameron continue to trout out Cleo Lemon under center?
Lemon obviously isn't a long-term answer in Miami. As I see it, it's time to give John Beck a look.
The Dolphins chose the BYU product in the second round of the '07 Draft. With seven games left on the schedule, they might as well see what he can do.
Letting Beck play will at least confer a little meaning on an otherwise lost season, by acclimating the youngster to the Sunday limelight under Trent Green's tutelage.
Fans in South Beach has been craving an elite signal caller since Dan Marino's retirement—seven years ago. Here's hoping Cameron and GM Randy Mueller decide to start taking steps in that direction.

The current health care reform bill(s) do not address actual health care … like what procedures to use and stuff … as much as they address insurance. This is a health insurance reform bill, not a health care system reform bill. (Though there is necessarily overlap.) Nonetheless Republican Wingnuts want a provision regarding prayer as…
