Palo Alto, CA, United States, 2007/10/16 - New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, U.S. Multiple Sclerosis Markets, reveals that the market earned revenues of $3.24 billion in 2006 and estimates this to reach $7.31 billion in 2013.
The multiple sclerosis (MS) market is undergoing a revolution with the imminent introduction of innovative therapies that will change the approach toward the treatment of the disease. This market evolution has not escaped the notice of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies across various tiers, as they engage in a race to develop inventive and effective treatment options for MS.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan (pharmaceuticals.frost.com), U.S. Multiple Sclerosis Markets, reveals that the market earned revenues of $3.24 billion in 2006 and estimates this to reach $7.31 billion in 2013.
If you are interested in a virtual brochure, which provides manufacturers, end users, and other industry participants an overview of the latest analysis of the U.S. Multiple Sclerosis Markets, then send an email to Melina Trevino - Corporate Communications at melina.trevino[.]frost.com with the following information: your full name, company name, title, telephone number, email address, city, state, and country. We will send you the information via email upon receipt of the above information.
Big pharma, specialty pharma, niche pharma, biotechnology, and start-up companies could soon fill the vacuum created by the lack of an outstanding treatment option. The innovations will stand market participants in good stead, since healthcare providers are hoping to improve the standard of care and patient compliance.
"Conventional therapies have focused on managing the symptoms of the disease and delaying the progression," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Barath Shankar S. "The side-effect profiles of these therapies have resulted in poor patient compliance and lower treatment rates."
The yawning gap between demand and supply of effective MS drugs has encouraged healthcare companies to devise newer ways of targeting and managing the progression of the disease. The pipeline for MS drugs is robust and includes drugs at various stages of development. They are expected to improve treatment rates and possibly, cure the disease.
"While traditional injection-based interferon therapies continue to remain the cornerstone of treatment, the next generation of therapies in development is dominated by vaccines and oral formulations that cater predominantly to the relapsing remitting type of MS," notes Shankar.
The market majors are working on potent combination therapies with interferons and other oral drugs. This could have a telling effect on the treatment paradigm of MS.
The unmet medical needs in primary progressive MS (PPMS) and secondary progressive MS (SPMS) segments are opening up significant market expansion opportunities for participants. Vendors are testing existing products for label expansion into other market segments, while simultaneously working on launching innovative therapies for the same purpose.
The U.S. Multiple Sclerosis Markets is part of the Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Growth Partnership Service, which includes research service in the following markets: U.S. opioid and non-opioid pain management pharmaceuticals markets, Global CRO spending trends, and U.S. generic pharmaceuticals outlook. All research services included in subscriptions provide detailed market opportunities and industry trends evaluated following extensive interviews with market participants.

The Lunatic Cultist is a boss that spawns after killing the four Ancient Cultists that spawn at the entrance to the Dungeon after killing the Golem, but if the floor of the dungeon entrance has been altered the cultists will not spawn. Defeating the Lunatic Cultist triggers the Celestial Event. After you defeat the Lunatic Cultist, the Clothier will sell the Solar Cultist Hood and Solar Cultist Robe during the day, and the Lunar Cultist Hood and Lunar Cultist Robe during the night. After Lunatic Cultist is defeated a message will appear saying Celestial Creatures are invading!. This indicates that the Celestial Event has started.
The cultist starts off by warping to a new location and then unleashing one of three attacks: A burst of three homing fire balls which will explode on impact, an ice ball which emits ice shards in six directions as it flies, and an energy orb which fires bolts of lightning to player. These are Lunatic Cultist's direct form attacks.
As Lunatic Cultist gets damaged, it will begin attacking with two spreads of five destructible ancient light projectiles as part of his previous cycle.
Occasionally, Lunatic Cultist will attempt to spawn illusory duplicates of itself. Unless the summoning ritual is interrupted by attacking the Lunatic Cultist and not one of the illusions. The Lunatic Cultist will have a golden stripe on his head piece, and a shine in his eye(causes an 'L' shape), whereas the illusions won't. These phantoms will stay, flying in formation and adding their homing Shadowflame attacks to Lunatic Cultist's. This will also result in the summoning of a Wyvern-like Phantasm Dragon, and if there is already a Phantasm Dragon inbound, an Ancient Vision, which looks like a miniature version of the Moon Lord's head. These phantom duplicates can be eliminated by interrupting the ritual again, but if not, the Lunatic Cultist can amass a large quantity of phantoms, making the fight much more difficult.
The Lunatic Cultist will go through an attack cycle between each summoning ritual, performing four or five attacks before proceeding. This cycle is repeated throughout the battle, and can become chaotic unless the Lunatic Cultist's summoning rituals are properly interrupted.
Also, in Expert Mode, the Lunatic Cultist will spawn ancient devices which shoot 4 purple projectiles after a while.
- This is the smallest boss in the game, being only 3 blocks tall. Because of this, it is recommended to use homing weapons or Yo-Yos if possible.
- If the player fails the battle, The Cultists will not re-appear until the next in-game day.
- If you make any of the cultists despawn, the Lunatic Cultist will not be able to spawn (fixed by restarting the game)
Update Info
- Added to the game.

It shouldn't come as a surprise that Kris Jenkins is putting himself on the map at a young age. All of the signs are there that he'll be a good player. But, getting him to talk about himself is another matter.
A 6-foot-5 sophomore forward at Washington (D.C.) Gonzaga College, Jenkins has made a name for himself on the high school level and in the summer where he runs with the mighty D.C. Assault.
A wide bodied kid who can overpower guys around the rim, Jenkins also has small forward skills on the perimeter. Because of that, the debate about whether he's more small or power forward has raged. Jenkins doesn't care either way.
"I consider myself someone that is trying to get better as an all-around player," Jenkins told Rivals.com when asked if he was a small or power forward. "A lot people consider me an undersized big. I just consider myself a team player who does whatever is needed."
Jenkins does recognize that his advanced strength helps him on the floor.
"My strength is scoring in the paint, being able to finish with contact," said Jenkins. "I'm a good passer too. I feel like I make the right play most of the time."
On the other hand, he's also taking the steps to make sure he can defend on the perimeter.
"I'm working really hard on guarding smaller guys," said Jenkins. "I'm also learning when I can go for a steal and when I can't."
So far, the sophomore has heard from the likes of Virginia, Virginia Tech, Georgetown, Pittsburgh, Villanova, Xavier, Miami, Marquette and George Mason among others.
Even with all of the individual attention, Jenkins says that his recruitment is totally off of his radar for now. He's more concerned about meeting some team goals.
"That (recruiting) isn't even a priority right now," said Jenkins. "The priority is just getting better as a team at Gonzaga and making a title run this season."

mind expanding with fring as a platformTuesday, December 11th, 2007
If you read my previous post "Sandy's fring fling" you might just get the hint that the fring / Sandy / Twitter / G-Talk application is quite mind expanding.
There is a tendency to think of microblogging services, like Twitter, and IM chat services, like G-Talk, as toys. Kid's stuff.
This reminds me of the reception e-mail got when I was involved in implementing my first hundred seat plus Local Area Network (LAN) back in the long gone pre-web early 1980s. We told our customer that now his staff were all online, he could now use his new infrastructure investment to for e-mail as well. It came bundled free with the network operating system. His reply "E-mail is a solution in search of a problem." I'm sure today our customer relies on e-mail as much as anyone.
IM and microblogging are growing up …fast. And fring provides a mobile phone deployment platform for the growing range of services, like Sandy, that themselves embrace Twitter, still the world's most popular microblogging service and G-Talk, an IM platform built on open standards.
This is likely to be a dynamic and important new business technology space. fring is both an important third party enabler and an easy introduction path for those wanting to get their heads around this mind expanding new world.

|Background information
|Birth name
|Kelvin Mercer
|Also known as
August 17, 1969
The Bronx, New York, U.S.
|Hip hop
|Years active
|Tommy Boy, Sanctuary, AOI
|Associated acts
|De La Soul
Kelvin Mercer (born August 17, 1969)[1] is a rapper, producer, and one-third of the hip hop trio De La Soul. He is known more famously by his alias Posdnuos, or simply Pos. He was born in the Bronx, New York and grew up in East Massapequa, New York.[2]
Mercer and David Jude Jolicoeur were childhood friends. They met Vincent Mason in the early 1980s while attending Amityville High School in Long Island, New York. Mercer's father was a jazz fan.
As a member of De La Soul, Mercer is generally regarded as one of the most consistent and underrated MCs of all time.[3] He has imparted some of his hard-earned experiences in songs such as "Held Down", and "Trying People", from AOI: Bionix. On the latter, he raps: "We were supposed to rid the world of danger / These days we nod heads and small talk like polite strangers / It's natural to fall off, just land close to the tree / I'll be there if they need me to be".
Mercer is also known for his witty, double entendre-laden battle rhymes. "Fuck bein' hard, Posdnuos is complicated" from Buhloone Mindstate's "In the Woods". For example, in "Down Syndrome" from 1996's Stakes Is High, he states: "I be a piece of the East Coast, so give a toast to Plug Wonder Why / Back in the day who soaked his words in ginger / So when I ran a phrase in June, you didn't catch it 'til December".
He is a member of the Spitkicker collective.
Cameos and album appearances[edit]
|Propellerheads' Decksandrumsandrockandroll, on the track "360° (Oh Yeah?)"
|With De La Soul
|Mint Royale's Dancehall Places and Pop Is..., on the track "Show Me"
|Oh No's Exodus into Unheard Rhythms, on the track "Smile a Lil Bit"
|LA Symphony's Unleashed, on the track "Universal"
|Jake One's White Van Music, on the track "Oh Really"
|With Slug of Atmosphere
|Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip's re-release of Thou Shalt Always Kill
|Official remix of Mac Miller's song "Of The Soul"
|Wrekonize's The War Within, on the track "Church Road"
|Stalley's Ohio (Stalley album), on the track "Navajo Rugs"
|Étienne de Crécy's Super Discount 3, on the track "WTF"
|With Dave
|Gorillaz' Humanz, on the track "Momentz"
|With De La Soul
All three members of De La Soul have used a number of aliases. The following are the most significant:
- Posdnuos – Pronounced "pas-da-noos". The name may be a combination of the reversed words "Sop," meaning "leftover," and "Sound," a name Mercer went by while acting as a high school DJ. According to some sources, the words spelled backward are "sounds op [i.e., operative]."[4]
- Plug One – An early concept for 3 Feet High and Rising involved music being transmitted from Mars by three microphone plugs (each one representing a member of the group). Though this idea was abandoned, the titles "Plug One", "Plug Two" and "Plug Three" still became relevant on the album. Mercer's title of Plug One would eventually evolve into Plug Wonder Why, which has been shortened to Plug Won.
- Mercenary – Derived from the last name, "Mercer". This name was given to him by DCQ, brother of Mos Def.[5]
- P-Pain – Caricature of the rapper T-Pain. He uses this alias in the song Supervillainz by DOOM.

EA Sports has announced Madden NFL for release alongside the Nintendo 3DS in March 2011.
Madden NFL Football promises a comprehensive handheld experience with modes including authentic 11-on-11 football, fast-paced 5-on-5 action and Season Mode. Additional features "jump off" the screen with 3D graphics, such as Spotlight Moments and Call Your Shots. Call Your Shots allows users to draw their own plays, on-the-fly, directly on the screen.
Three types of play-calling will also be available: GameFlow, Classic, and Arcade. GameFlow automatically selects the best play for the situation based on real NFL team gameplans; streamlining play calling and shortening overall game length for a more accessible experience. Classic play call allows users to experience the full depth of selecting formations and individual plays, while Arcade play call simplifies options through a more concentrated playbook.
The game will also make use of new 3D specific camera angles, making the most of the handheld's 3D screen.
Madden NFL is one of EA's most successful franchises. Its presence at the launch shows how seriously the publisher is backing the 3DS. The game joins EA's previously announced 3DS titles, The Sims 3, My Garden and FIFA.

The high-stakes trade in fine art provides an atmospheric setting for Allison Amend's second novel. Her two unhappy protagonists find dangerously tempting opportunities to satisfy their thwarted desires in this secretive marketplace, whose business practices Amend convincingly paints as considerably less lovely than the artworks being sold.
Elm Howells is a department head at Tinsley's, the Manhattan auction house founded by her great-grandfather. Two years ago, her young son was swept away by a tsunami while vacationing in Thailand; Elm remains inconsolable, desperate to have another baby despite the qualms of her charming Irish husband and her middle-aged low fertility.
Gabriel Connois, a Spanish painter living in Paris, is sick of being a starving artist at age 42. Despite his considerable technical skills, he's uneasily aware that he lacks the personal vision of his ancestor Marcel Connois, a renowned 19th-century painter. Gabriel is ripe for seduction when his glamorous new girlfriend, Colette, a French representative of Tinsley's, introduces him to her "uncle," Augustus Klinman, who offers him a lot of money to provide artworks in the style of his famous forebear, allegedly to decorate the rooms of a new luxury hotel.
Readers are likely to guess how these two trajectories will intersect even before an elderly New York woman shows Elm a pastel supposedly by Marcel Connois that she claims was a gift from a powerful lover. Amend isn't aiming for mystery; instead, she creates suspense by charting in wincing detail Elm's and Gabriel's progress through ethically gray areas in the art market to unquestionably illegal acts.
Klinman plays on Gabriel's resentment of the dealers and collectors who have previously disdained his work and urges him to move from imitations to outright fakes: "If they are going to try to keep you down," Klinman argues, "then you employ any means necessary to pick yourself back up, yes?" A much-less-plausible plot device pushes Elm to act as Klinman's go-between in the private sale of works she knows are forgeries. Her motive is to raise money to take advantage of an expensive new technology for getting pregnant.
The consequences aren't as catastrophic as some of the wrongdoing (and wrongdoers) seem to merit in Amend's well-wrought but oddly bloodless tale, which makes the art world machinations more interesting than the main characters. Although the author meticulously delineates their yearnings and frustrations, Elm and Gabriel aren't particularly emotionally engaging, which makes their dilemmas less compelling than they should be. "A Nearly Perfect Copy" is regrettably true to its title: cleverly rendered but lacking the spark of a true original's inspiration.
Smith is the author of "Real Life Drama: The Group Theatre and America, 1931-1940," which will be reissued in July.

Yes, it is a Sin on Society- that a person can feel so in pain that they want to end it. When if there was better infastructure in place to help or detect ppl at risk- then what is a great tragedy could be averted
What a fantastic answer .
Yes !
No, just a terribly sad thing for someone to do.....they have just totally reached the end.and can see no way out of the sh it that they are in.......and maybe have no one to talk to about how they feel..............have thought about it myself over the last few years a few times and the only thing that kept me going was how my daughter would react to that.

I do understand why some people do it............and I don't condemn them.................I just really pity the people who are sometimes left behind, going - why? why? Could we/ I have done more to stop this etc................a hell of a lot of guilt is dumped on remaining family/friends etc, assuming they exist
I hope you are not having suicidal feelings yourself ??
depends how and why you do it

i think it all depends how loved you are - it's just that when you're really depressed you can't see love very well - when a person who really had love and opportunity kills themselves then they stop suffering but their burden is passed to their loved ones in the form of loss and grief, resentment and anger

i really have thought about all this a lot - i find suicide the thing that lets me face life, knowing i've got an escape plan if things get too bad - but i would hope my parents would be dead already - i think one of the reasons i don't want to raise kids is because they would get in the way of the trapdoor
I believe it takes a strong person to take their own life, due to the will to survive being stronger than the desire to die..
I think how wrong it is all depends on the situation. Like someone with incurable brain cancer for ten years, please, if they truly want out of their misery, let them. but if someone is young , healthy and has young children, and they don't consider their children, then it becomes very selfish. you have to judge your own situation, and nobody knows it better than you.
A sin,no not really something you shouldnt never do,yes ,you and all of us have a purpose for being here,and you never know what the future will bring,besides,I dont think that it solves anything ,you will have to work through it sooner or later,I find that praying helps,you can pray about anything and there no negitive side to it
no, i don' think it leads to purgatory or any states of hell. i think that if someone is so fed up with life and their quality of life is so bad that they have tired every avenue possible but they still feel it and their is no help what's so ever, then in the end it's their life and choice. But as long as they realize that the end is only for them not for everyone else that was/is part of their life.
i know suicide is a sin, but a lot of people have died at the hands of self were sick mentally, and thats what killed them.
My god , I'd rather be surrounded by a thousand suicidal people than some of these people who have written such disgusting replies here .

Ignorance in it's most damaging form .
suicide is a human right i think - i do support euthanasia
Does it really matter? Either you believe it is or you believe it isn't. There is no one to stop you believing what you want. Did you know that suicide is against the Law? It is illegal for any person to take their own lives; that's the Law of the land and NOT a piece of sc<x>ripture. For those who zone in on the biblical meaning of 'sin' and who cannot abide what relgion says, then how come they don't zone in on the LAW which equally declares it to be wrong?

In either case, a person who commits suicide is not around (in the physical sense) to 'pay' for their wrong-doings; like it or not, it's wrong in the eyes of the religious as much as it is the laws of the land. If we *don't* think it is, then (of course) we have the right to do whatever we want; which means in either case we break the law either of religion *OR* man-made Law.

Yes ... I have heard the phrase, I'm just waiting for someone else to come up with a better idea that we live by some other means than 'Lawfully'. The idea behind suicide being illegal is perfect, common sense. Amidst the many Laws that are in force are the more 'silly' Laws; this could hardly be said to be one of them So ... Instead we should make suicide Lega? If we do that, then we are saying that it's OK to hand yourself from a flight of stairs and for your kids to see you haning there is just as OK. This is what the Law is there for; no one says you can stop someone from commiting suicide ... but the Law does what it can to prevent those thinking of doing this and the horrors they leave behind when they are found. So why on earth is this Law such a pain when it's as much as the Law can do to prevent the innocent's left behind to witness the end result? is it *really* so stupid?
Depends where you live....
And you have changed your answer to better suit my response rather than respond to it. There is no 'NO' comes into what I stated. Every Government who holds this Law does so because of the reality; it does what it can ... I already said it's a Law of prevention to protect kids seeing their Mother of Father hanging from the ceiling. How much more do you want any Government to do than show that it feels it is wrong to leave people behind to see the tragedy? You haven't addressed that, even though you have changed your answer. You say the Law is an a-s-s for trying to prevent suicide out of concern for others, they call them 'the living victims'. It seems you don't even consider their scars :-)
I know that ... some countries promote suicide. Are they right or are the wrong?
I dont think about it

Actually it is sin as well as coward action
it is usually a cowardly act but not everyone who kills themselves is a coward
I think it's far from cowardly , it's people like you who are cowards ,kicking someone while their down .
Took not be afraid of death takes strength .
Sorry i do not refuse your points but actually sake and suicide both are different action and suicide means You are living for yourself but the rule is live for other if you died like this what will happen to other ,WHo loves you,kiss you ,cuddle you ,dance with you all the time..
makes me think of the Buddhist monks who burned themselves to death meditating in lotus posture for the Western media to end the Vietnam war
that's making suicide a virtue
Cliche answer
God, you must have a perfect life....................
It's mainly considered to be cowardly by those left behind to ponder whay they might have seen. To walk into a room and find yourself facing a person you love in such a way that one cannot describe, it is then people consider the 'cowardly' issue. it isn't so much about the person who does it ... it's about the tragedy, the personal hurt and the nightmare of finding someone who has commited suicide when the *living* are left behind with their own scars and so they call out 'Coward'. The word isn't about the person doing the deed ... it's what the person doing the deed leaves behind.
I don't believe in the concept of sin, so no.
I don't think it is a sin..I recently had a found nephew pass away a couple months ago by his own hand...it is sad and leaves many unanswered questions....I myself have stood on the edge and been to the end of my rope...it is a very hard place to be...it is hard to talk to another person about....I also believe that EVERYONE has thought about it at least once and if the say they haven't then they are either lying OR they have just never hit that point in their life where all seems lost......So for the ones who haven't YET....don't judge them until you have been there.......
You are very welcome
nope i see it as viable way out, sweet loud and romantic
there is no sin
yes ....but for it to be a sin you have to be in your right mind ....and i believe that when that happens your not .....because if you were how could you do it ???
As simple as anything, Its just a SIN..

And not a debate ..

A suicide is surely a SIN in any manner...
We don't need permission but we surely need a BRAIN..
Don't need advise..
yeah ,, a huge sin

Denizens, there's an old adage: "Everyone can bring joy into a person's life – some by coming, some by going".
Then there are those who bring joy by whining that they're not coming.
Which brings me to San Transexual's chief executive bathhouse boy, Gavin Newsom.
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom announced today a moratorium on official city travel to Arizona after the state enacted a controversial new immigration law that directs local police to arrest those suspected of being in the country illegally.
The ban on city employee travel to Arizona takes effect immediately, although there are some exceptions, including for law enforcement officials investigating a crime, officials said. It's unclear how many planned trips by city workers will be curtailed.
The move comes amid a cascade of criticism of Arizona's law, which has been denounced by civil rights groups, some police officials and President Obama, who said it threatens to "undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans."
And all the people of Arizona said, HALLELUJAH, AMEN!!!!!
Texas needs to hurry up and pass a law like that…

- Summary
- Chapter
- large-scale quartz cementation;
- quartz - important porosity destroying cement in sandstone reservoirs;
- Cambro-Ordovician Haima Group, Central Oman;
- quartz cementation and compaction;
- diagenetic phenomena occurring over similar depth ranges;
- quartz cementation - controlled by processes common to all basins
Quartz is the most important porosity destroying cement in sandstone reservoirs. The large petrographic data sets, from 11 intervals from around the world, presented and referenced here, indicate that massive quartz cementation follows a predictable pattern. Cementation occurs in two distinct phases: an early minor phase during which a few percentage of authigenic quartz are precipitated, followed by the relatively abrupt start of massive deep burial cementation which can result in up to 20% reduction in porosity. Massive quartz cementation typically begins at 90 ± 10°C. The relative temperature dependence indicates some form of kinetic control.
Computer modelling indicates that it is not possible to import large quantities of silica into the reservoir. Thus the source of silica for quartz cementation must be derived from within the sandstone or directly adjacent to it. The pattern of cementation strongly suggest sources which have a temperature and, in some cases, a stress dependence. Temperature-dependent silica contributing reactions probably include the dissolution of feldspars, the transformation of smectitic clay to illite and the dissolution of heavy minerals (although only a minor contributor in many circumstances). Pressure dissolution within sandstones and adjacent siltstones also becomes important over the same stress/temperature range, partly because the dissolution of framework grains will increase the stress on the remaining framework grains. Finally, fluid movement within a non-isothermal reservoir promotes redistribution of quartz.

I applaud your production.

Mine would be off-off Broadway and would be fairly surreal.

Minimal set design but elaborate costumery and ohhh,the wit.Yes,it must be wittily written and cast.And I have a fog machine.The music starts out with sublety and then builds to a lobby-shaking crecendo in the second act...look out- BOOM! booming throbulations. Stagelights down,

then very clever sotto vocce whispering.

...it is performed once,to a crowd of very very few and receives confusingly divided reviews. the landlord of the theatre never allows the troupe back on the premises.

I decide to rob a bank for my next career move,which turns out quite well for myself and my cousin Chris.

We donate a large sum to a wildlife refuge,who summarily agree to take in our extra performing chimpanzees.

Remnants of various shades of pink are scattered across the Bay Area after thousands of people walked over 60 miles in three days this past weekend. The Susan G. Komen 3-day for the Cure brought families, friends and survivors together for the epic event.
From Fisherman's Wharf to The Cliff House at Ocean Beach, black arrows and motivating signs were posted throughout the city for participants walking the 15-22 miles per day. The race kicked off with an opening ceremony on Friday morning at Cow Palace in Daly City. After a full day of walking, with Pacific Ocean views, participants ended up at their weekend campsite on Treasure Island.
On Saturday, walkers traveled in the East Bay throughout Berkeley and Lake Merritt.
Sunday, the third and final day, included a walk over the Golden Gate Bridge from Sausilito, with a closing ceremony at Marina Green.
Each participant is required to raise a minimum of $2,300 in order to walk the 3-day event. All net proceeds fund global breast cancer research and local community programs helping the community move forward in treatment, screening and education. The event's route is approximately 60 miles long and walkers have three days to finish.
They camp at night, and are provided with food, showers and sinks. The event also includes entertainment and an opportunity for participants to create community.
The crew heads North to Seattle for the next big city 3-day race. Want to get involved for next year? The race is on the same weekend, Sept. 7-9, 2012.

The Royal Cornwall Yacht Club in Falmouth is looking to expand and enhance its facilities, but exactly how has yet to be decided.
The internationally renowned club has outgrown its current facilities at Greenbank and is in desperate need for additional storage, pontoons, water access and more controversially, car parking.
Advice is currently being sought from Cornwall Council planning officers, the result of which will determine how the club moves forward with its plans.
Vice Commodore, Bob Collings, who is also a member of the club's maintenance and development committee, said: "The committee was formed to look into what we could do and what, for the next ten years, we would like to do.
"We do not know where the money is coming from, but we have made a wish list which includes parking, storage and an extension to the dingy hard.
"We have put in an application to the planning officer to talk to him about what he feels we would be able to do and what we will not be able to do so we get some idea of where we can go. This is way before any plans have been drawn up."
As well as the planning officer, the club will also be negotiating with the conservation officer and harbour |master over its plans.
These include extending the current dinghy hard towards the strip of beach it owns below Dunstanville Terrace, adding more pontoons and building an extension to the club house which would replace the wooden sheds which sit at the foot of the embankment.
The most controversial part of the club's plans, which it does admit is a "low priority," is a car park extension. Mr Collings said: "I know it is absolutely controversial, but we are lacking in car parking, we have only got roughly 20 spaces.
"Locally we have about 330 members and we want to increase that, but the one off-putting thing as far as members are concerned, is the car parking, or the lack of it, and we have to think about that."
Mr Collings admits the club has thought about extending into the neighbouring gardens, but does not believe planning consent would be granted to convert it into additional parking.
The club hopes the community will support its plans to expand, and to encourage younger people to take up sailing, and will be consulting with them once definite plans have been drawn up.
Although, Roger Hollingsworth, the club's Rear Commodore, Sailing, says the yacht club is a valuable asset to the town and is currently losing out on some major events because of its lack of facilities.
"I know from retailers (in town) that when we have major sailing events on here, they see a boost in their takings so we are helping the economy.
"The club is doing well and it is our success that is creating the need for more storage, more training facilities and more water access."
Mr Collings added: "If we cannot progress, Falmouth will suffer. We are local and we are doing this for the |locality. We do not get any money whatsoever. We are doing it to enhance Falmouth, to bring more prosperity to Falmouth and to put Falmouth more on the map and bring more people down here. We have to improve the facilities, otherwise we are going to go backwards."

Here we go again. In my humble opinion, the administrators of this great city goofed again by permitting another big-box chain store at the wrong location.
The corner of Sereno Drive and Sonoma Boulevard is the wrong location for Walmart, a multi-nation retail corporation committed to using its size and scale to change the world.
One block to the east of said location is Food Basket, a family operated store. Across the street from the developing property is Smart & Final, the smaller, faster warehouse store. One block north in Park Plaza is Raley's, a privately held, family-owned supermarket chain. All of the aforementioned establishments have operated in the same locations for more than three decades.
Walmart vacated property near the intersection of Meadow Drive and Sonoma Boulevard less than 10 years ago. Said structure remains unoccupied and is an eyesore for our neighborhood/city.
The decision to locate Walmart at the corner of Sereno Drive and Sonoma Boulevard is wrong. Looking back over the last three decades, I have seen various businesses close because of big-box chain stores operating in the wrong location within our city.

With a powerful late-game gust, the Tornadoes swept the Huskies off the Andover gridiron Friday night, returning to Anoka with a hard-earned 27-20 victory.
The Huskies started the game out strong, coming out aggressively and scoring the game's first touchdown on a quick Connor Wilkie to Justin Freyholtz pass.
The Tornadoes counterpunched with a balanced attack and tied the game on a 40-yard Malcolm Seals to Jimmy Baehr touchdown pass.
The Huskies then dominated play action again and Wilkie and Freyholtz connected with a 57-yard touchdown pass, entering halftime with a 14-7 lead over the Tornadoes.
But Anoka burst out of the locker room with renewed vigor and James Beard raced downfield with a 71-yard kick-off return.
That momentum propelled the Tornadoes into the end zone to tie the game 14-14.
"We just had to eliminate the trouble, eliminate the mistakes made earlier and play with more confidence," said Anoka's head coach Jeff Buerkle, describing the fuel that fed the fire in the Tornadoes' second-half play action.
The Tornado terror continued for a second touchdown, but Anoka's missed kicked seemed to re-energize the Huskies and Andover scored its third touchdown of the game and, missing the kick, tied it up again.
Soon enough, Anoka gained a second life and scored the go-ahead touchdown.
But Andover refused to give up and, giving a last gasp, rushed toward the end zone with a balanced attack of pass plays and runs.
The Huskies' last-ditch effort – a play pass – was deflected in the end zone and fell incomplete, allowing the Tornadoes to escape Husky territory victorious.
"Anoka's always a tough, physical team and their run game was really good in the fourth," said Huskies head coach Rich Wilkie. "But our kids kept battling. They played tough. They never let up. That's just the way the game is. It is what it is."
Next, the Huskies travel to Coon Rapids this Friday, determined to demonstrate winning ways.
"Coon Rapids is always well-coached and they've got good athletes over there. It'll be a good game and we're both 0-2… somebody will get a win this week," Wilkie said, anticipating the Husky-Cardinal match-up.
Meanwhile, Anoka hosts Totino-Grace, and Buerkle expects a tough match there, too.
"They are very fast, very strong, always well-prepared… It'll be one of those battles," Buerkle said. "We've really got to be on top of things. We'll have to play our best game – give it our best and see what happens."

From Higher Aims to Hired Hands:
Is management a profession? Should it be? Can it be? This major work of social and intellectual history reveals how such questions have driven business education and shaped American management and society for more than a century. The book is also a call for reform. Rakesh Khurana shows that university-based business schools were founded to train a professional class of managers in the mold of doctors and lawyers but have effectively retreated from that goal, leaving a gaping moral hole at the center of business education and perhaps in management itself.
Khurana begins in the late nineteenth century, when members of an emerging managerial elite, seeking social status to match the wealth and power they had accrued, began working with major universities to establish graduate business education programs paralleling those for medicine and law. Constituting business as a profession, however, required codifying the knowledge relevant for practitioners and developing enforceable standards of conduct. Khurana, drawing on a rich set of archival material from business schools, foundations, and academic associations, traces how business educators confronted these challenges with varying strategies during the Progressive era and the Depression, the postwar boom years, and recent decades of freewheeling capitalism.
Today, Khurana argues, business schools have largely capitulated in the battle for professionalism and have become merely purveyors of a product, the MBA, with students treated as consumers. Professional and moral ideals that once animated and inspired business schools have been conquered by a perspective that managers are merely agents of shareholders, beholden only to the cause of share profits. According to Khurana, we should not thus be surprised at the rise of corporate malfeasance. The time has come, he concludes, to rejuvenate intellectually and morally the training of our future business leaders.
"If Prof. Khurana wanted to torment business--school deans, alumni and current students, he couldn't have picked a better way. Prof. Khurana has identified an important imbalance. In the current environment, many brilliant young MBAs don't aspire to be corporate chief executive officers, who struggle to uphold their agendas against pressure from all sides. These students would rather be consultants who earn big money fomenting change. Better yet, they want to be the powerful investors who hire and fire CEOs."--George Anders, The Wall Street Journal
"The book is extremely well written and provides a detailed historical account of US business education from the 1880s to the present day...This text will help many of us in business schools to think about who we are and where we need to go in future. Rakesh Khurana has done a great service to management education with this scholarly and important book."--Gary L. Cooper, Times Higher Education Supplement
"A fascinating history of business education."--The Economist
"Is corporate management a real profession? The intellectual rigor that legitimized business schools and turned the M.B.A. into a recognized credential has fallen by the wayside, argues Khurana, an associate professor at Harvard Business School. Instead of producing young professionals, he says, business schools are treating students as consumers and their education as a commodity. Exhaustively researched, Khurana's book examines the birth of the managerial class, the rise of the business school as an academic institution and what he calls its recent deterioration. This failure has created a climate ripe for corruption, and Khurana issues a call to arms for business schools to take back the high ground."--Tiffany Sharples, Time Magazine

When you haven't got a mentor around, or when you're the only person you know who draws. When the figure drawing teacher in your class is awful or if there isn't even a teacher at all, how can you learn?
So opens Luis Escobar's blog on how to improve your art. And he has a great answer. You may remember Luis from a previous profile on our blog. That and that he's worked for years on The Simpsons on storyboards and as a comic book artist. So what's his advice this time?
Without giving it all away, he talks some about the ideas of "meta-learning" and "gamification". Sounds like a bunch of buzzwords, but there are some real good advice here.
Meta-learning is the idea of breaking down a subject into building blocks. Creating these building blocks is itself a learning process and one that leads to deeper understanding of the subject.
Gamification is taking something and adding goals or a stake to it, like a reward system. But there has to be a middle ground or else it is too easy and not rewarding or it's too hard and leads to frustration.
He more to say in the video (if you haven't watched it yet) and on his blog. He also has a newsletter for artists and illustrators with some benefits for signing up, if you are so inclined (like a free ebook!).

Fearne Cotton: I'm drawn to fiancée Jessie Jenkins like a magnet
Don't expect to see
Fearne Cotton and skater boy fiancé Jessie Jenkins splashing out on a glitzy celeb wedding any time soon – she says they'll never get round to organising it.
That's not to say there are no plans, said the Radio 1 star, it's just the couple are pretty hopeless at getting things together.
'I can't see myself doing a huge, big thing as a) we're both bad at planning and b) it's tricky because his family are in America, mine are here. We'll figure it out,' said the 29-year-old.
They are giving things another whirl after a previous split.
'We always had this magnetic connection and this deep love, and we knew it wasn't right to be apart but we gave it a go and it didn't work, so we tried to distance ourselves,' she told Glamour magazine.
'We were like magnets clanging back together.'

Swaminathan, A. (2001) 'Resource partitioning and the evolution of specialist organizations : the role of location and identity in the US wine industry.', Academy of management journal., 44 (6). pp. 1169-1185.
Analyses of founding and mortality rates of specialist organizations in the U.S. wine industry over the period 1941-90 support Carroll's (1985) location-based resource-partitioning model-crowding of generalists in the market center creates opportunities for specialists. Further, specialists are adversely affected when they violate their organizational form's identity characteristics and also when generalists can assume a robust identity allowing them to operate in both specialist and generalist industry segments. The results suggest a prominent role for an organizational form's identity in resource partitioning.

Vancouver-West End MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert and his partner of 14 years, Romi, came close to becoming parents this week, but their dreams of fatherhood have been shattered.
On Monday, the couple received a call from a social worker handling their case, notifying them that a baby, who had been abandoned by its birth parents, was in need of a home, with the possibility of adoption.
"There was a baby that we could potentially foster and then adopt. Would we be willing to foster the child who had been abandoned by their family?" said Chandra Herbert. "Of course we said yes."
Just a couple of hours later, they also received disappointing news. Everything changed once the child's extended family found out Chandra Herbert and his partner are gay. They were considered potential candidates because of the racial make-up of their household, but ruled out as foster parents because of their sexual orientation.
"I think homophobia was the fault," says Chandra, "we've got a great social worker, it's not her fault."
They had been on the list of potential adoptive parents for two years.
In British Columbia, same-sex marriage has been legal since 2003, and same-sex couples are legally able to adopt a child.

Which teams make the most sense for the remaining free agents?
It's that time of the year again. Most notable free agents have signed with new teams, while others are closing in on their own agreements. Alas the precious few left on the open market now have days instead of weeks to secure employment before the exhibition season begins. To assist nine of the most noteworthy remaining free agents (read: pass time until something interesting happens), let's take a look at what they offer and where they may land, with a hand from everyone's favorite random number generator.

Examining Homer Bailey, Danny Salazar, and Justin Masterson.
Last week we studied a trio of pitchers who have enjoyed breakouts in performance over the first month of the season in order to distinguish legitimate improvement from potential mirage. This week, we examine the other side of the coin. There are a handful of pitchers who entered the season with high expectations yet have been knocked around the yard this April, and the most perplexing of these players are those whose peripheral stats are in line with last season but whose batted-ball profiles have taken a dive. It might be tempting to dismiss any vulnerability due to the vagaries of balls in play over small samples, but in some cases there are functional underpinnings to suggest that something has gone awry.

How do industry insiders (and BP readers) view Tanaka relative to other right-handed starters?
In December of 2011, shortly after the Rangers submitted a winning $51.7 bid for exclusive rights to talk to Yu Darvish, then-BP prospect writer Kevin Goldstein surveyed 10 industry insiders to see how good they thought Darvish was going to be. Instead of asking for physical comps or statistical projections, Kevin stacked Darvish up against a selection of five other right-handed starters and asked for each insider's one-on-one pitcher preference. In retrospect, some of the responses seem silly—three people took Ian Kennedy over Darvish—but the consensus wasn't far from the mark: Darvish, the insiders said, would be worse than Justin Verlander, roughly as good as Zack Greinke, better than Matt Garza and Kennedy, and much better than Ricky Nolasco. Sounds about right.
Last week, the Yankees signed Masahiro Tanaka, the best Japanese starter to cross the Pacific since Darvish, to a seven year, $155 million deal (plus posting fee, luxury tax, and the priced-in expense of the opt-out clause) that will make him one of baseball's 10 highest-paid players in 2014. The next question, naturally, is, "How good is the guy they just got?"

Jason Kipnis, Carlos Santana, and Danny Salazar headline a roster whose complementary players could be appealing in deeper formats.
Coming off their first playoff appearance since blowing a 3-1 lead in the 2007 ALCS, the Indians will look to get back to the Promised Land (if you can call a one-game playoff the Promised Land). And they'll have to do it with two of their three best pitchers from last season, Ubaldo Jimenez and Scott Kazmir, potentially departing. The lineup remains intact, though they have added underrated outfielder David Murphy so that they don't have to give nearly 500 plate appearances to Drew Stubbs again.
Yes, the Indians are a better franchise now than they were 25 years ago when they had Ricky Vaughn and Jake Taylor in uniform, but that element that causes us not to take them seriously as a World Series contender still exists. They have a couple of strong, underrated players about to enter their primes in Jason Kipnis and Carlos Santana, but they'll need others to step up and join them on that stage to make a deep playoff push. With the Tigers improving their roster (and flexibility) by trading for Ian Kinsler and the Royals possibly on the rise, the Indians will have their hands full in the AL Central.

Examining the stuff and mechanics of two pitchers who've taken steps forward in 2013.
Last week's edition of Raising Aces examined the stuff and mechanics of CC Sabathia and Josh Johnson—a couple of typically great pitchers who have fallen on hard times—in an effort to explain their struggles. This week we flip the script, studying a pair of pitchers who have greatly exceeded expectations in 2013 to find out whether each pitcher's success is sustainable. Under the microscope today: Francisco Liriano and Justin Masterson, both of whom could conceivably headline playoff rotations this fall.

Paul helps you decide which two-start pitchers are worth using this week and which ones you should avoid.
Welcome to the Weekly Pitching Planner. Each week I will cover the pitchers are who slated to make two starts and help you decide who you should start and who you should sit. Sometimes guys will be in the "consider" where they might have one good start, but a second tough one and then your league settings might determine whether or not you should go forward with him. The pitchers will be split by league then by categories:
Auto-Starts – These are your surefire fantasy aces. You paid a handsome sum for them either with an early draft pick or high dollar auction bid so you're starting them anywhere, anytime. Guys can emerge onto or fall off of this list as the season evolves. There won't be many – if any – notes associated with these groupings each week. We are starting them automatically so why do I need to expound on how awesome they are and will be in the coming week?

Indians righty Justin Masterson has improved considerably against left-handed hitters this season, and the strides he has made with his slider are at the root of his success.
Nick Swisher is one of my favorite players in baseball to watch play the game because I appreciate how he works a count and genuinely seems to enjoy playing the game. My favorite part about his game actually comes off the field, because he is comedic gold when you get him talking on a topic he is excited about. Take his recent assessment of teammate Justin Masterson.
Swisher was asked by Bud Shaw of the Cleveland Plain Dealer to describe teammate Justin Masterson in three words, and in the most Swisher response ever, he replied, "Power sinker, bro." Swisher expanded his bro-view of the hurler by adding, "What's really impressive is the number of strikeouts he's had. Look at any great team and it starts with that number-one guy."

Having a great pitch doesn't make you a great pitcher, as the PITCHf/x leaderboards show.
If you're like me, you've been waiting for PITCHf/x leaderboards filled with info from Brooks Baseball for a while. And now that you have them—again, if you're like me—you're compelled to keep sorting columns in descending order, in every possible permutation, just to see what will rise to the top. Sometimes what rises to the top is a name you don't expect to see. This is an article about a few of those names, and the pitches that plucked them out of obscurity and took them to the top of a leaderboard where no one would have expected them to be.
There are many ways to gauge the effectiveness of a particular pitch. One way is to see how often batters fail to hit the pitch when they attempt to. This leaves out a lot of information—how often they attempt to hit it, how well they do when they succeed, how well the pitch sets up a subsequent offering—but it is a quick-and-dirty way to assess unhittability. The most unhittable pitches—by this definition of "unhittable"—are pretty predictable. Cole Hamels has the most unhittable changeup. Zack Greinke (or Edwin Jackson, depending on your minimums) has the most unhittable slider. A.J. Burnett has the most unhittable curve. (That one might seem slightly less predictable, but even during his disappointing seasons, Burnett's curve was always hard to hit.) Among relievers, if you set the thresholds low enough, Aroldis Chapman has the most unhittable fastball and the most unhittable slider. Aroldis Chapman is really hard to hit.

I did have some trouble with dry eyes, and after the temporary plugs had dissolved and I had used up all the eye drops they gave me plus 3 more months of buying eye drops, I paid to have silicone plugs put in. They are so small and impossible to see once installed, that I don't know whether they're still there. I still get dry eyes sometimes, but it's usually from spending too much time staring at a screen or a book.
Finally, a lot of people complain of "halos" around lights at night. I have always seen these "halos", even before the surgery, as my pupils are slightly larger than average. The surgery did not increase the halos or affect my night vision.
I have my surgery on VHS tape. If I ever get it converted to digital, I will upload it here.

Are any other models compatible with the A8/S8? There doesn't seem to be many of these cars about so was hoping that maybe the A6 stuff would fit! Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul Green.

The retirement of veteran merchant John Westling was announced internally at Walmart last Friday, and in typical fashion his departure has created new opportunities for other executives as responsibilities are reallocated.
Westling served as EVP general merchandise and replenishment and spent 23 years at Walmart. Chief merchandising office Duncan Mac Naughton had kind things to say about Westling, and well he should as the departing executive was the embodiment of the type of employee Walmart so often holds up as an example of the personal growth potential that is possible.
Westling began as an hourly associate in 1988 and went on to become an assistant manager, buyer and merchandise manager. In 1998, Westling became a VP/DMM with oversight of key commodity categories such as household paper goods and chemicals. Along the way he earned the respect of those who reported to him and the suppliers he interacted with.
"John leaves a legacy in our merchandising organization," Mac Naughton said. "Because of his leadership, we have solid foundational systems and processes in replenishment, pricing and merchandising operations. And his focus on our associates inspired the Women in Merchandise program that will benefit Walmart women for generations. For these accomplishments and his leadership in the community as a Board member for the Children's Miracle Network and Will Golf 4 Kids, we are proud to celebrate John's Walmart career."
Filling the void created by Westling's resignation will be John Aden and Pam Kohn. Aden previously served as SVP hardlines and his new title will be EVP general merchandise. Aden joined Walmart in 2007 as an SVP of international operations after serving as president of Mac Tools.
Kohn joined Walmart in 2002 and she most recently served as SVP global food sourcing. In her new role as EVP she will lead Walmart's merchandise service organization and have expansive responsibilities for its centralized merchandising shared services functions of merchandising execution, store layout, format and space productivity and replenishment.
"With Pam's breadth of experiences in so many areas of Walmart, as well as prior to joining the company, she is uniquely positioned to be a driving force in our merchandising strategy," Mac Naughton said.
Kohn came to Walmart after a career in the grocery business that included stints at Stop & Shop and Food Lion. Initially hired to oversee Walmart Neighborhood Market division, Kohn eventually moved on to become VP global supply chain, SVP divisional operations and SVP fresh merchandise.

I am considering taking a very low dose of Accutane for my overly oily skin and occasional breakouts. I have already been on Accutane 3 times and now I'm only left with oily skin and a few whiteheads. I was wondering, is it okay to still get IPL, fillers, and some plastic surgery like a chin implant while taking low doses of Accutane? I really want to get my oily skin under control, but also don't want to wait for over a year to have the other things done. Thank you.
Okay to Have Plastic Surgery While on Low Dose Accutane?
Doctor Answers 2
Excess Scarring in Accutane Patients
Any patient taking Accutane should not undergo any sort of resurfacing procedures for a minimum of 6 months after completing therapy. There have been reports in the medical literature of excessive scarring in accutane patients who underwent resurfacing. The literature is less clear about surgical scarring, but avoiding any trauma to your tissue would be the safest course of action.
Sorry to say no, it is not ok. You should not do any of these things until you have been off Accutane for at least 6 months.

The meats are quite good if a bit pricy. I always correct them over the meat labeled pork tenderloin. Its a center cut loin and I cant convince them different.

BOYS HOCKEY: Bemidji tops Sauk Rapids-Rice 4-1
SAUK RAPIDS -- Jack Johnson scored twice as Bemidji defeated Sauk Rapids-Rice 4-1 Tuesday night.
In a penalty-filled game that saw the teams combine for 40 minutes of time in the sin bin, it was Sauk Rapids (10-7) that scored first on Travis Kothenbeutel's goal just 1 minute, 34 seconds into play.
But the Lumberjacks (8-9) rallied and scored the next two goals of the second period just 50 seconds apart from one another.
Johnson scored with assists from Sam Brustle and Brent Isensee at the 11:09 mark, then Josh Lusby scored what turned out to be the game-winner on the power play at 11:59. Nick Leitner and Isensee assisted on the goal.
The Lumberjacks added another in the second period on Jake Leitner's goal at 15:14; then Johnson sealed the game with his second goal of the night with an unassisted tally at 14:59 of the third.
"We played a solid 5-on-5 game," BHS head coach Wade Chiodo said. "Things got a little out of rhythm for both teams with all the penalties so it was tough to get into one but we found a way to get some good play going in 5-on-5 play.
"I'll take that any day of the week if we can get a win."
The Lumberjacks outshot the Storm 45-16; Garrett Attaberry made 15 saves for BHS. William Mortenson stopped 41 shots for Sauk Rapids.
The Lumberjacks return to action Saturday when they'll host Alexandria at 7 p.m.
Bemidji 4, Sauk Rapids-Rice 1
First Period -- 1, SRR, Kothenbeutel (Duray), 1:34; 2, BHS, Johnson (Brustle, Isensee), 11:09; 3, BHS, Lusby (N.Leitner, Isensee), 11:59, PP.

wikiHow to Camp out Overnight in Line
Nowadays, it has become increasingly difficult to quickly purchase hot commodity items such as new electronics, toys, game systems, etc. It is very possible that you will have to camp out in a line overnight if you want these items (especially during the holiday season). If you're willing to brave the crowds and the elements to get what you have your eyes on first, these steps will help you prepare.
1Assess the item you want to purchase first and foremost. Make sure you call the store beforehand and find out how many of the items they have, what time the store opens, and if they will be handing your pre-order tickets (many places do now, to avoid possible chaos). If there are only a dozen game systems available and you are the 20th person, it's not worth your time to stay out all night.
2Get ready! Start preparations as soon as you know what you're getting and what day the pre-order/shipment is. Make sure do not have commitments for the night of the purchase and the day after. No school, work, parties etc. You'll be too exhausted for any of this after the event!
3Gather together supplies. This varies on where you live and what time of year it is, but keeping in mind it will usually be around the holidays, and most likely cold, you will need to think ahead. See the "Things You'll Need" list for supplies.
4Bring a buddy. If at all possible, bring a friend, husband, wife, girl/boyfriend, sibling, co worker - anyone! There is safety in numbers and you will have someone to hold your place in line during a food run or much needed bathroom break. If you can't do that, try to seek out a friend in line. Although there can be unsavory people, the chances that hardcore shoppers will stick together in keeping away stragglers cannot be discounted.
5Check it out beforehand. If at all possible, drive to the location the day before. Seek out possible bathrooms, coffee shops and 24-hour locations. If nothing else, you will want someplace to warm up. If there are no 24/7 grocery stores, look for convenience stores.
6Dress accordingly. When you are ready for the big day, start early and dress warmly! Three layers on top plus a coat (sweater and turtle necks), two layers on bottom (jogging pants/flannel pants and jeans), a hoodie and hat, gloves, scarf, wool or double layers of socks and warm shoes. Bring blankets as well, three at least per person, and sleeping bags if you have them. And get to the location as fast as you can - some hardcore shoppers will camp out the afternoon before the day of the release!
7Set up your spot on arrival. When you arrive chances are you won't be the first person there. Set up camp, say hello to everyone, and ask what they are there for. Find out your place in the line. Remain kind and respectful to your fellow shoppers - you'll go through a lot together that night!
8Try to sleep if you can, as hard as that sounds. Walk around to stay warm. If you're with a partner, take car breaks/bathroom breaks, do a snack or food run and keep an eye on the time.
9Wake early and stay alert. As you near 5AM, stay awake and do not leave the line! The manager may be out to hand pre-sale tickets out, and you do not want to miss this - you have been camping out all night for these!

If this question (or a similar one) is answered twice in this section, please click here to let us know.
- If you plan to camp out alone, there is a chance you will not find a person in line that will save you place. Assuming you have brought enough food and entertainment supplies, the only unmet need will be bathroom-related. The solution is to bring a "Texas catheter" which fits over your private parts like a condom, but it has a tube attached that lead to a bag. Unfortunately, this solution does not address excretory needs. In order to deal with these issues, you must adjust your pre-camping diet for the 24-36 hours before you start camping. This technique varies by person, but the simple answer is to minimize your intake of greasy foods and other food that encourages sit-down bathroom visits. A more extreme solution is to take over the counter medicines that inhibit the need to sit down on the potty. This approach may seem extreme, but it will make for a good story to tell your friends while you play with your new game console.
- You need to dress warmly, this cannot be overstated! You may find a fellow shopper who is happy to help you and lend a blanket or buy you a coffee, but you will be in for the coldest night of your life if you don't plan ahead!
- Do not give up hope!
- Bring chairs! Do not sit on the ground, you will chill faster. Wrap blankets tightly around you to trap in heat.
- Do not start fights or arguments with people who drive by. Some may drive by, say they are the manager and that you are too late. Just ignore them.
- Carry a cell phone for time, safety and in case you need to call a relative or the hospital.
- Don't carry cash. Use a debit or credit card, or pay by check. Leave your purse at home.
Things You'll Need
- Backpack to hold supplies
- Energy drinks, soda, or coffee/cocoa in a thermos
- Magazine or book for possible reading material
- Foldable lawn chairs
- Blankets, comforters and a pillow
- Space heater (if temperature dips below zero)
- Snacks - chips, gum, possibly candy
- Cell phone
- iPod, portable DVD player, or handheld game system or laptop to relieve boredom

#ugene Sue's famous novel, ### Wandering Jew," has never ### considered exactly a pro###tic tract and by no stretch of ### imagination can the picture ###sion, which was adapted from the play by the late E. Temple Thurston, be labeled a landmark in the creation of good will for our race. It isn't so much the actual story that is anti-Semitic; but the implications are unpleasant.
You probably remember the novel. The picture, however, follows the play more closely. It is an expanded version of the old legend of the Jew who is alleged to have spat upon Christ as He was dragging His cross to Calvary, the place of execution. For this act the Jew was doomed to live until the return of Christ to earth.
In the film the life of the Jew is depicted during the three later periods. First he is an unknown and obscure knight in the First Crusade, then a merchant in {SPAN}Sici###{/SPAN} during the thirteenth century and finally a physician in Spain at the time of the Inquisition.
In this last period he is brought before the Inquisitors and sentenced to be burned, but the fire does not burst into flames. Instead, a beam of light—presumably from Heaven—shines on the Wandering Jew and he goes to his Maker, but not before he repents and discovers that the humble teachings of Christ have been perverted and Christianity has become a formalized and stilted creed.
Photographically the film is excellent and the acting of Conrad Veidt in the title role is superior, especially his ability to make understandable the changes in character the Wandering Jew underwent because of his experiences.
"The Wandering Jew" is a slow moving, unhappy picturization of a legend that no longer needs retelling. Its effect will be harmful to Jewry. Based on a highly dubious incident in the career of a man whose very existence is shadowed by all kinds of doubts, it has given strength to the now disapproved "Christ-killer" myth.
Its revival is unfortunate at a moment when fright and uncertainty grip people's minds and when any charlatan can make capital of this sort of thing to take men away from the reality that surrounds them.

North Texas sports figures respected late Frank Luksa for grace, frankness
For five decades, Frank Luksa graced North Texas newspaper sports pages with color, wit and sarcasm, always within the boundaries of fairness.
He didn't write sports stories. He crafted them, with an economy of words that spoke volumes.
Luksa, 77, died Tuesday morning of congestive heart failure at a Plano rehabilitation center, two months after undergoing triple-bypass heart surgery.
News of Luksa's passing brought an outpouring of remembrance from readers, colleagues and sports figures he covered during his tenures at The Dallas Morning News, Dallas Times-Herald and Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
"Frank was a guy whose word was his bond," former Cowboys running back Dan Reeves said. "If he told you something was off the record, you could bet that it was going to be that way. He was just a very honorable, excellent writer.
"I used to love to read his articles because I knew they were the truth. It was just refreshing to have such a great man covering you."
Luksa covered the Cowboys during their 1960s infancy, originally for the Star-Telegram. He moved over to the Times-Herald in 1972 until one December day in 1991, when he pulled up to Texas Stadium to cover a Cowboys game.
"That's when I heard on the radio that my employer would fold the next day," Luksa recalled, years later. "This complicated my future, since I planned to ask for a raise on Monday."
Of course, The News had the good sense to hire Luksa three weeks later, although during the interim he used his home answering machine to inform callers that, "I will write for food."
Through the years, and long after he retired from The News in 2004, he was genial mentor to younger sportswriters, perhaps secure in the knowledge that few if any would ever match his gift for prose.
He most loved covering pro football and the Masters golf tournament. He covered the first Super Bowl in 1967 and never missed one until his retirement. In ensuing years, Morning News writers covering the Super Bowl made sure to bring the game program back to him.
He also was a longtime Pro Football Hall of Fame voter. In 1992, the Hall bestowed Luksa the Dick McCann Memorial Award, presented annually by the Pro Football Writers of America in recognition of long and distinguished reporting.
In February 2010, a few days before Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium, Luksa, Pat Summerall and Dan Jenkins were given the Blackie Sherrod Award from the Texas Daily Newspaper Association in recognition of their many years of covering pro football in North Texas.
As Luksa often quipped: "I own the distinction of working for all three metropolitan dailies and helping put only one out of business."
He is survived by his wife of 47 years, "the lovely Henrietta," as always referred to her. They have two daughters, Elise Daniel and Laura McMillin, and six grandchildren.
A memorial service for Luksa has been set for 2 p.m. Friday at First United Methodist Church, where Frank and Henrietta have been members since the mid-1990s.
"Frank was a uniquely gifted sportswriter, a true friend and golf buddy and a faithful compassionate Christian," said Dr. John Fiedler, First United's senior minister. "I will miss his wit and his insight and his company. Our prayers are with Henrietta and Elise and Laura today."
One of Fiedler's favorite Luksa stories is from a round of golf at Chase Oaks, when on one hole Luksa deposited nine straight balls into the water.
"We baptized that tee box as Luksa Point," Dr. Fiedler said.
Elise Daniel said that although her father had spent the last two months in the hospital and the rehabilitation center, his passing was a shock because the family and his doctors had been discussing his potential return home.
"We all were so proud of him because he was just so kind," Laura McMillin said. "That's the thing that makes this so hard.
"I would have liked to have told him what a wonderful father he was. I couldn't have asked for a better father. I wish I would have said that. I miss him already."
Missing Luksa, too, are his co-members of the Old-Timers Club, of which Frank was the self-appointed social chairman.
Club membership consists of longtime local pro football writers and broadcasters, some still working, others retired. They meet every six weeks or so at the Midway Point restaurant, where Luksa's custom during his retirement years was to grill active media members about what was wrong with the Cowboys.
Luksa loved mystery guests. One of the club members, longtime Cowboys radio voice Brad Sham, brought Troy Aikman as mystery guest in July.
"Troy called me today and said, 'Boy, I'm sure glad you got me to that thing,'" Sham said Tuesday.
Sham met Luksa in 1971, when Sham was a reporter at WRR-AM, covering the Dallas-Fort Worth Spurs minor league baseball team alongside Luksa and other stalwart sportswriters of that era. Luksa had already made a considerable mark in this market.
"He was acerbic without being mean, which is something of a lost art," Sham said. "His dry sarcasm was one of the hallmarks of his humor."
One of Sham's favorite "Luksa-isms" occurred during Cowboys training camp in Thousand Oaks, Calif., in 1989, the year Jerry Jones purchased the Cowboys and, in the process, fired many of Luksa's friends in the organization.
"Frank hammered [Jones] those first few months," Sham said. "Frank got to Thousand Oaks and went out and looked Jerry up right away.
"Jerry glad-handed him and hugged him and wined him and dined him and Frank, after about two days, came back to the dorm and said 'I believe if I write one more bad thing about him, he'll adopt me.'"
Jones, though grieving of the death of his 90-year-old mother, Arminta, took time Tuesday to reflect on Luksa and his impact.
"If you want to be entertained and see some frank talk, some frank points, look at my first years with the Cowboys," Jones said. "You will get an idea of how Frank would tell the story of my involvement and what the Cowboys were about. Classic.
"I'm proud to say that since then we sat around, talked about it and had a toast.
"He could really represent sports and had a perspective that made him a part of the fabric of this area and the Cowboys. We've lost a very special part of that fabric."
Another member of the Old-Timers Club, Carlton Stowers, covered the Cowboys during the 1960s for The News when Luksa was at the Star-Telegram.
Stowers recalled Tuesday that Luksa was the only local reporter who could decipher coach Tom Landry-speak, explaining to other reporters what Landry actually meant during his confusing news conferences.
After he took over the beat, Stowers said, Luksa asked him to dinner.
"What I want to explain to you," Luksa told him over some cold beverages, "is you're going to try to beat me, I'm going to try to beat you, but this is not a war of knives."
As Stowers came to learn, Luksa's skill was winning wars and readers with a paintbrush.
