Pharmacy benefits are provided under the County's self-insured pharmacy plan through Catamaran (formerly Catalyst Rx and Walgreens Health Initiatives, Inc.) The plan includes:
YOUR COST AT RETAIL OR MAILORDERYour prescription copay is based on the type of medication and the quantity purchased.
Generic Preferred
Brand Preferred
Specialty Pharmacy
$25 or $40 based on tier
Not available
*Maintenance medication: Two retail fills allowed before mandatory 90-day supply requirement
A Preferred Medication List (Formulary) is the list of prescription drugs covered under your plan for a lower copay. It is created, reviewed and updated annually by a team of doctors and pharmacists. Your plan's Preferred Medication List contains a wide range of preferred generic and preferred brand-name drugs that have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Your doctor can use this list to choose medications for you while helping you save the most money by utilizing formulary drugs.
Most maintenance medication is subject to a mandatory 90-day supply obtained through either mail or at any participating retail pharmacy. The member pays only two copays for a three-month supply, thus saving the member one copay on each order. Maintenance medications are typically drugs that must be taken for an extended period of time for such conditions as high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, etc. By law, some controlled substances cannot be written for more than 30 days, and as such, can only be purchased for 30 days at a time.
If your doctor begins your treatment plan with only a 30-day prescription, you will only be able to fill it two times at a retail pharmacy. All subsequent refills must be written for a 90-day supply with appropriate refills. The Maintenance Medication program allows you to fill your 90-day prescription at local participating pharmacies or utilize the mail service program. If your doctor feels an extra 30 day trial is needed, submit a written request on a prescription or letterhead to Human Resources-Employee Benefit Services for review and authorization for Catamaran to override the 90 day requirement for one additional month.
Likewise, if your doctor is weaning you off a prescription and you do not need a final 90-day refill, submit a written request on a prescription or letterhead to Human Resources-Employee Benefit Services for review and authorization for Catamaran to override the 90-day requirement.
If your doctor feels it is medically necessary to write a prescription for 30 days instead of 90-days on an ongoing basis, submit the doctor's written request to Human Resources-Employee Benefit Services for review and authorization to override the 90-day maintenance medication requirement to the pharmacy vendor.
Reminder: Ninety day medications can be filled at any participating retail pharmacy.
The plan requires substitution of a generic equivalent for brand-name drugs, when available; otherwise a surcharge will be applied. If your doctor believes there is a medical need for you to have the brand name prescription for which there is a generic available, the physician must write "Dispense as Written" on the prescription in order to avoid paying a brand name surcharge as explained in the chart below.
A drug's brand name is the name that appears in advertising. This name is protected by a patent so that only one company can produce it for 17 years. After the patent expires other companies may manufacture a "generic" that's just like the brand-name drug and that follows FDA rules for safety. A generic's color or shape may be different, but the active ingredients must be the same. Your formulary lists only FDA-approved generic medications. An example of a generic medication is diazepam, which is the generic equivalent of Valium®.
IMPORTANT: If you wish to explore more cost effective options, ask your doctor if there is a generic equivalent available within the same therapeutic class. Doing this will result in much greater cost savings to you.
A preferred brand name drug, also known as a formulary drug, is a medication that's been reviewed and approved by a group of doctors and pharmacists within the pharmacy provider. It is chosen for the Preferred Medication List because it's been proven to be safe, effective and less expensive than another name brand. All other drugs are available at the higher non preferred copay. Note: certain drugs/medications are excluded or have quantity limits under the pharmacy plan.
The Specialty Pharmacy Program is used for treating complex health conditions and requires special handling for home delivery. Examples are Cystic Fibrosis, Enzyme Deficiency, Growth Hormone Deficiency, Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Viral Hepatitis. For more information, members should contact the Specialty Pharmacy. Specialty medications are not eligible for a 90-day supply and can only be filled for a 30-day supply for one co-pay based on formulary tier. As these medications are so specialized and are very expensive, the first fill of a new specialty prescription will be shipped in two-week increments. If there are no changes to the dosage or drug after the first month, the following months will be filled and shipped as 30-day supplies.
The following chart will help explain what copayment you would be expected to pay.
When a generic is available ….
You pay $5
When purchasing a brand drug on the Preferred Medication List having "Dispense as Written" (DAW) on the script you pay $25.
If you request a brand drug on the Preferred Medication List without having "DAW" written on the script, you will pay $25 plus the difference between the generic price and the brand price.
When purchasing a brand drug not on the Preferred Medication List having "Dispense as Written" (DAW) on the script you pay $40.
If you request a brand drug not on the Preferred Medication List without having "DAW" written on the script, you will pay $40 plus the difference between the generic price and the brand price.
When a generic is not available ….
Not applicable
When purchasing a brand drug on the Preferred Medication List you pay $25.
When purchasing a brand drug not on the Preferred Medication List you pay $40.
Upon enrollment in the County's health program, the pharmacy provider will mail two ID cards and a member packet to the home address as listed in the County's payroll system. It is important to retain this information for reference. Member ID cards will be issued in the name of the employee; however, enrolled dependents are authorized to use them. You should keep your ID card with you for verification purposes at participating pharmacies. For additional ID cards, contact pharmacy vendor's Customer Service at the number shown on your card. Do not discard your card at the end of the plan year as new ID cards will not be issued unless there is a plan or name change.
Most pharmacy chains are participating providers. You must present your Catamaran pharmacy ID card when you use your benefit at any of the participating national chains.
Certain prescriptions require prior authorization (approval before they will be covered). Types of prior authorizations include, but are not limited to, medications where a set amount is allowed within a set timeframe and an additional amount is requested within the same timeframe, where an age limitation has been reached and/or exceeded or where appropriate utilization must be determined. Catamaran, in its capacity as the pharmacy benefit manager, administers the clinical prior authorization process on behalf of Broward County.
Clinical Prior Authorization (CPA) can be initiated by the pharmacy, the physician, or you or your covered dependents by calling 1-877-665-6609 Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-8 p.m., Central Standard Time (CST). The pharmacy may call after being prompted by a medication denial with a message stating, "Prior authorization required; call 1-877-665-6609." The pharmacy may also pass the information on to you and require you to request the prior authorization.
After the initial call is placed, the Clinical Services Representative obtains information and verifies that Broward County participates in a CPA program for the particular drug category. The Clinical Services Representative generates a drug-specific form and faxes it to the prescribing physician. Once the fax form from the physician is received by the Clinical Call Center, a pharmacist reviews the information and approves or denies the request based on established protocols. Determinations may take up to 48 hours from Catamaran's receipt of the completed form from the prescribing physician, not including weekends and holidays.
If the prior authorization request is approved, the Catamaran's Clinical Services Representative calls the person who initiated the request and enters an override into the Catamaran claims processing system for a limited period of time. The pharmacy will then process the prescription.
If the prior authorization request is denied, the Catamaran Clinical Call Center pharmacist calls the person who initiated the request and sends a denial letter explaining the reason for denial. The letter will include instructions for appealing the denial. For more information, see the "Appeal Procedures" section.
The categories/medications that require clinical prior authorization may include, but are not limited to: Acne (topical after age 24), ADHD/Narcolepsy (after age 19), Anabolic Steroids (all forms), Anti-Fungals, Atopic Dermatitis, Byetta, Botulinum Toxins, Fentora, Growth Hormones, Lamisil/Sporanox, Penlac, Ranexa. Upon receipt of a prescription falling into a covered category, the pharmacy vendor will contact your doctor's office and request the documentation needed for Prior Authorization.
Some medications have limits on the quantities that will be covered under the County plan. Quantity limits are placed on prescriptions to make sure you receive the medication you need in the quantity considered safe. That is, you get the right amount to take the daily dose recommended by the FDA and medical studies. Some medications with quantity limits include, but are not limited to: Duragesics, Erectile Dysfunction medications, Hypnotics, Migraine Medications, Nasal Inhalers, Proton pump inhibitors, Sedatives.
When you go to the pharmacy for a prescription medication with a quantity limitation, your copayment will only cover the quantity allowed by the plan. You may still purchase the additional quantities, but you will pay the full cost. If your doctor feels there is a medical necessity to override the quantity limit, have them submit their request with medical documentation to Catamaran's Clinical Prior Authorization department.
In the event of an adverse benefit determination by Catamaran, you have the right to appeal the decision by sending a written request to Human Resources-Employee Benefit Services. Your appeal must state:
Send to:
Benefits Manager Employee Benefit Services 115 S. Andrews Ave., Room 514 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
Benefits Manager Employee Benefit Services 115 S. Andrews Ave., Room 514 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
If the appeal is regarding a denial of a Clinical Prior Authorization (CPA) or other clinical issue, either Catamaran or an independent review organization (IRO) contracted by Catamaran will provide you with the resolution to your appeal. Please note that denials of a CPA due to medical information not being received by Catamaran from your physician will not be considered for the appeal process. Also note that plan design and Preferred Medication List content are not issues that can be appealed.
For denied CPA appeals, Employee Benefits Services will forward the appeal request and medical necessity documentation that you submit from the prescribing physician to Catamaran. Catamaran will either review the appeal internally or forward the appeal request to the IRO for review. The IRO assigns an independent physician to review your appeal based on the issue. The IRO physician will review the appeal and make a recommendation. The IRO submits its recommendation to Catamaran's Clinical Center, which notifies you by mail of the resolution, with a copy to the Employee Benefits Services. The turnaround time for a CPA appeal is 10 business days from the date the appeal is received by the IRO, excluding holidays and weekends.
If the appeal is regarding a clinical issue such as prospective reviews, quality of care, retrospective reviews or other types of appeal requests that are not classified as a CPA, the appeal follows the same process as above, with a turnaround time of 30 business days from the date the IRO received your information, excluding holidays and weekends.
Catamaran provides a secure Web site where you can set up your account and have access to your pharmacy records and other pharmacy related information and tools such as:

1D On the Road Again Tour
Not since the Beatles took the world by storm in the '60s has a British boy band (or to be more accurate, a British-Irish boy band) been so popular, and One Direction is only getting started. The five-some got their start by finishing third in "The X Factor" in England, an American Idol like show created by Simon Cowell. They soon released their first single, "What Makes You Beautiful," and then their first album, "Up All Night," and before long they were the hottest band on the planet and are still winning over new fans every day with recent appearances on "Saturday Night Live" and "iCarly." Their debut record hit #1 on the U.S. charts, which made them the first band from the U.K. to achieve that feat. After all that success, the band announced the first One Direction concert tour, and to no one's surprise it sold out in record time. One Direction concert tickets are red-hot, and GoTickets has great 1D tickets for every show.
The demand for tickets was incredible for the first leg of the One Direction concert schedule, so the band's promoters made the almost unprecedented move to announce the One Direction tour schedule nearly over a year in advance. The 2015 One Direction tour dates are expected to once again sell out in a matter of minutes, but GoTickets always has sold out concert tickets, including great One Direction concert seats for all the stops on the 1D tour.
Whether you want to sit on the floor and get the chance to reach out and touch Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne or Harry Styles, or you want something more economical in the upper level, GoTickets has the right One Direction concert tickets for you. We allow you to take your pick from hundreds of different options so you can select the right 1D show tickets based on your individual preferences and budget. But don't miss out and don't wait until it's too late. Now is the time to lock in your One Direction tickets.

Human Rights: Background
The human rights industry represents a large number of interests ranging from health awareness organizations to anti-poverty groups to Native American tribes.
The contributions and lobbying efforts by this industry have continued to climb in recent years as organizations supporting minority rights push for legislation in a Congress now controlled by Democrats, who have historically supported many of their causes. Contributions from this industry to federal candidates and political committees hovered near $4.5 million during the 2000, 2002 and 2004 election cycles. More recently, they've spiked, with the industry donating $5.8 million during the 2006 election cycle and $7.7 million in the 2008 cycle.
Historically, the vast majority of money from this industry has gone to Democrats. In 2008, Democrats received 87 percent of the industry's contributions. With Congress under Democratic control, human rights organizations have chosen to step up their game in order to take advantage of more sympathetic ears on Capitol Hill and advance legislation in support of the minority groups that they represent.
The human rights industry has also increased its federal lobbying efforts in recent years, spending more than $50.4 million to influence federal lawmakers and agencies in 2008. Only five years before, in 2003, the industry spent less than half that amount -- $24 million - on federal lobbying efforts.
The Human Rights Campaign has led the way in contributions for the past decade, spending more than $1.3 million during the 2008 election cycle to advocate for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights. In doing so, it earned a place in the Center for Responsive Politics' "Heavy Hitters" category of federal-level influence. Much of HRC's efforts have gone toward supporting the passage of the Employee Non-Discrimination Act, in addition to legislation regarding domestic partnership benefits and increased appropriations for HIV/AIDS prevention.
The American Cancer Society and the American Heart Association -- also top industry lobbying clients for 2008 -- reported recent success with the passage of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act of 2009. The National American Indian Housing Council, along with a conglomeration of individual tribal groups, exacted results with the passage of the Native American Housing Assistance and Self-Determination Reauthorization Act of 2007.
These efforts are expected to continue into 2010, with more than $1 million in human rights industry money already donated to federal political candidates and parties during the cycle.

Politicians react to Senate immigration proposal
After Monday's press conference announcing an immigration framework from the bipartisan "gang of eight" senators, elected officials from around the country weighed in with their own opinions. While many said they wanted to wait until details were solidified before an outright endorsement or rejection, these politicians still had a lot to say. POLITICO collected some of the most noteworthy reactions here.
'No one should be surprised that individuals who have supported amnesty in the past still support amnesty. When you legalize those who are in the country illegally, it costs taxpayers millions of dollars, costs American workers thousands of jobs and encourages more illegal immigration. By granting amnesty, the Senate proposal actually compounds the problem by encouraging more illegal immigration.' — Former House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), in a statement released Monday.(Photo: AP Photo)

I apologize in advance if someone has already posted this. I see a lot of stuff on normal gear but what about cold weather gear. 10 degrees to -15 or so. I am pretty happy with my set up. I go all Patagonia on top... Capilene TShirt, Capilene long sleeve as my second, R2 as 3rd and the Fitz Roy once I am no longer hiking. On the bottom I have a heavy weight long john (Marmot) and then mid weight REI hiking pants and then once I stop hiking Mountain Hardware Puff pant. Normal gloves and then a mitten. Normal beanie with my jackets hood.
I have family coming out this year and they don't really want to invest all of this in 1 yr. Neither would I, this was over a 2-3 yr span. So... what is everyone doing to stay warm in cold weather hunting. My hunting conditions are cold weather, usually 0-15 degrees, mile or 2 hiking and then sitting/glassing all day.
Here's a pic of our usual setup... About to take a nap at 4 below As always... Thanks in advance.

Bar-tho-lynn Gland Sist
Cynthia M. Johnson, MA
Bartholin glands are located on either side of the entrance to the vagina. A cyst is a pocket of fluid in the tissue around these glands. If the cyst becomes infected, it is called a bartholin gland abscess.
Bartholin glands make fluid that lubricates the vagina. If the glands become blocked, the fluid can back up and create a cyst. Sometimes, bacteria or viruses can develop in this fluid and lead to an infection.
Women with a history of cysts are more likely to develop a Bartholin gland cyst.
Sexually transmitted infections may also increase the risk of an infected cyst.
Symptoms may include:
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a specialist.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested if an infection is suspected. The sample may be sent for a culture or biopsy.
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you. If you do not have symptoms, your doctor may want to monitor your condition without treatment. Antibiotics may be advised if there is an infection caused by bacteria. Pain medication may help manage discomfort.
If your symptoms do not improve, surgery may be required. The three types of surgical options include:
A catheter is inserted into the cyst to let fluid drain out. The catheter will stay in place for four to six weeks while the fluid drains from the cyst.
If catheterization is not effective, then an incision may be made into the cyst to allow the fluid to drain. A small opening may be left to let the fluid continue to drain.
For some, the gland may be removed but this is less common.
There is no known way to prevent a Bartholin gland cyst.

Recent Activity
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
This report seeks to bring new light to the issues of migration by sea—particularly the interception and rescue of "boat people"—by synthesizing key discussion takeaways from an international forum of policymakers, international organizations, NGO representatives, and academics.
This volume finds that while emigration may be beneficial in some cases, unhindered high-skilled emigration, particularly in the case of sub-Saharan Africa, can have disastrous consequences. The author, Arno Tanner, recommends specific policies where carefully targeted development measures could be used to mitigate the negative consequences of brain drain.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.
This policy brief provides a background to the conflict and humanitarian situation in Darfur. While the situation in Darfur may not fit the definition of genocide in the traditional sense, the brief makes the case that semantics should not interfere with the international community's obligation to protect civilians.

Umbriel is the darkest of Uranus' largest moons. It reflects only 16 percent of the light that strikes its surface, a feature similar to the highland areas of Earth's Moon. Other Uranian moons are much brighter. The process by which Umbriel's ancient cratered surface was darkened remains a mystery.
Umbriel has a diameter of about 1,200 km (750 miles). Images taken by Voyager 2 in 1986 revealed a curious bright ring about 140 km (90 miles) in diameter on the moon's dark surface. It is unclear what created the distinctive ring, although it may be frost deposits associated with an impact crater.
Umbriel was discovered on 24 October 1851 by English astronomer William Lassell.
How Umbriel Got its Name:
Umbriel is named for a malevolent spirit in English poet Alexander Pope's 18th century poem "Rape of the Lock."
Moons of Uranus are named for characters in William Shakespeare's plays and from Alexander Pope's "Rape of the Lock."

The Paladins (14-15, 6-5 SoCon) outhit the Bucs (16-9, 8-5 A-Sun) 15-8 in the contest as Furman had three players with three hits in the contest. Hoilman was the lone Buccaneer with multiple hits as he went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs and three RBI.
Clinton Freeman

Daniel Stallsmith earned the win for Furman limiting the Bucs to one run on four hits in 3.0 innings.
Derek Trent

A shooting on Friday night has turned into Allen County's first homicide of 2013.
According to a news release from the Allen County Coroner's office, 45-year-old Ryan D. Turner died as a result of a gunshot wound -- the coroner's office does not specify how many times a person was shot -- sustained prior to being transported to a local hospital Friday evening.
Turner was shot sometime around 9:01 p.m., according to an earlier news release from the Fort Wayne Police Department. Officers responded to a gas station at 624 E. Lewis St. in order to investigate a report of a shooting.
Upon arrival, officers found a man, Turner, inside the store. He had apparently been shot.
Paramedics originally judged Turner to be in serious condition and transported him to a local hospital. He was downgraded to critical condition at the hospital, the release said.
Preliminary investigation indicated Turner entered the gas station, stated that he had been shot, and asked the attendant to summon the police, the release said. No arrests have been made and no information on possible suspects has been released.
The death has been ruled a homicide, the first in Allen County of the new year. The incident remains under investigation by the police department and the Allen County Prosecutor's Office.

Perry Watch: Rick Perry's critics are energized by his presidential flirtation
Rick Perry's potential presidential candidacy is an exhilarating thought to Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingraham and other conservative leaders who see the Texas governor as the perfect archconservative foil to President Obama.
But Perry's extended flirtation with a White House run has become equally exhilarating to liberals and Democrats who see it as the perfect opportunity to bash Perry's conservative record, his secessionist talk, his very public religiosity and what they believe is massive hypocrisy from the Washington-bashing, federal-aid-demanding governor.[Read More]

An economics scholar in Norway has recommended that air ticket costs be calculated according to a passengers weight.
Dr. Bharat P. Bhatta, associate professor of economics at Sogn og Fjordane University College, Norway, is proposing three models that he says, may provide significant benefits to airlines, passengers and society at large.
His three pay as you weigh models are:
Total weight: A passengers luggage and body weight is calculated, with the fare comprising a per kilo cost. In this scenario a passenger weighing 100 kilos with 20 kilos of luggage (120 kilos total) would pay twice that of a passenger of 50 kilos with 10 kilos of luggage (60 kilos total).
Base fare +/- extra: A base fare is set, with a per-kilo discount applying for underweight passengers and a per-kilo surcharge applying to overweight passengers.
High/Average/Low: A base fare is set, with a predetermined discount applying for those below a certain weight threshold and a predetermined surcharge applying for those above a certain weight threshold.
Bhatta prefers the third of these options. He goes on to say that weight could be ascertained through passenger self-declaration, with one in five passengers randomly selected and weighed to dissuade cheats (with penalties for cheaters) or by weighing all passengers at check in.

qHTS profiling for inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum proliferation
Plasmodium falciparum is a virulent malarial parasite that kills 1-2 million people worldwide each year. Transmitted by mosquitoes, the sporozoite form of the parasite enters the blood stream to infect hepatocytes, where they become merozoites that infect red blood cells (erythrocytes).

NCGC Assay Overview:
Plasmodium falciparum is a virulent malarial parasite that kills 1-2 million people worldwide each year. Transmitted by mosquitoes, the sporozoite form of the parasite enters the blood stream to infect hepatocytes, where they become merozoites that infect red blood cells (erythrocytes). Within erythrocytes, merozoites begin a 72-hour cycle of growth and division, after which the parasite is released to infect new red blood cells. Gametocytes, which form within erythrocytes as well, circulate in the bloodstream and are ingested by the mosquito, thereby completing the life cycle. To profile malarial isolates for differential chemical responses and to identify inhibitors of malarial growth, an assay that measures P. falciparum growth and replication within erythrocytes was employed. This assay uses a DNA binding fluorescent dye (SYBR Green) to detect parasite DNA following cell lysis. Because mature erythrocytes lack DNA, only Plasmodium-derived DNA is detected.
Panel Information
Assay Panel for qHTS profiling for inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum proliferation - A set of small molecules profiled against a panel of 61 malarial parasites
§ Panel component ID.
NCGC Assay Protocol Summary:
The SYBR Green viability assay was adapted from a method described previously (Plouffe et al., 2008). For screening 3 ul culture medium was dispensed into 1536 well black clear bottom plates (Aurora Biotechnologies) using a Multidrop Combi (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc.), 23 nL compounds in DMSO were added by a pin tool (Kalypsys), and 5 ul of erythrocytes infected with P. falciparum (0.3% parasitemia, 2.5% hematocrit final concentration) were added. The plates were incubated at 37 C in a humidified incubator in 5% CO2 for 72 h, and 2 ul lysis buffer (20 mM Tris HCl, 10 mM EDTA, 0.16% saponin, 1.6% triton X, 10X SYBR Green I supplied as 10,000X final concentration by Invitrogen) was added to each well. The plates were mixed for 25 sec with gentle shaking and incubated overnight at room temperature in the dark. The following morning, fluorescence intensity at 485(14) nm excitation and 535(25) nm emission wavelengths was measured on an EnVision (Perkin Elmer) plate reader. Plate reads were normalized relative to the control inhibitor (0.29 uM artemisinin) and vehicle (DMSO) wells present on each plate and then corrected by an algorithm using vehicle-only control plates at the beginning and end of the compound plate stack.
This is a profiling assay where compounds were screened against a panel of 61 malarial parasites. Ranking of compounds within each parasite is described below.
Compound Ranking:
1. Compounds are first classified as having full titration curves, partial modulation, partial curve (weaker actives), single point activity (at highest concentration only), or inactive. See data field "Curve Description". For this assay, apparent inhibitors are ranked higher than compounds that showed apparent activation.
2. For all inactive compounds, PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE is 0. For all active compounds, a score range was given for each curve class type given above. Active compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 40 and 100. Inconclusive compounds have PUBCHEM_ACTIVITY_SCORE between 1 and 39. Fit_LogAC50 was used for determining relative score and was scaled to each curve class' score range.

San Diego Comic Con - Is it worth it?
This is the big week, and starting tomorrow with Preview Night, the 2011 San Diego Comic Con will be under way.
For many people this is an exciting event and they're anxious to be a part of it. But for a growing number, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Which prompts me to ask this rhetorical question...
Is the Comic Con worth it?
Is it worth dealing with the overwhelming crowds, the long lines, all the time that's taken up waiting to get into an event...
Is it worth the trouble, effort and expense involved?
In my opinion, and in a word, yes. If it's right for you, if you want to be a part of it, of course it's worth it. Especially if you're a vendor or have something to showcase, promote or sell, it's the prime convention for getting your word and wares out and about.
Not to mention the incredible array of creative individuals that's amassed at this place in time and space.
I remember the Con back in the 1990s when it was still a thrill, but a manageable one that was dedicated towards and focused upon the creative element, creative individuals and the creative community. I made the personal choice to avoid it after it started getting out of control crazy with the huge crowds that were showing up, and with a growing corporate presence that turned me off to what is was evolving into.
None the less, if I had the disposition for it, I'd head to SD and go through the extended effort of establishing a presence there simply because of the opportunity that comes along with a gigantic throng of people with a common interest in comics, animation, and entertainment in general.
But this year for the first time ever, there seems to be a shift away from the Con by those whom one would think would benefit from it the most. Big companies who used the event to get an early word out about a property of theirs that was on the way. At least that's what I recall reading recently.
To underscore a bit of the downside of the Con for visitors, check out this topic from the AN Forums last year, whereby some of our members recount their experiences, both good and bad.
Click here.
The Con is still of course worth the trouble for many, but an increasing number of people are opting for smaller more intimate venues, such as the CTN eXpo in Burbank this coming November.
It's animation focused, very popular, and a prime venue for reaching the animation community face to face during a three day span. It's pleasant, a great deal of fun, and in its own way, as effective as the Con.
Whatever you choose to do, or go to or be a part of, have fun and be safe. This is a great time to be involved in the entertainment industry, animation in particular.
Keep Creating.
That's what makes events like these happen.
Re: San Diego Comic Con - Is it worth it?
I love Comic-Con. This will be my 10th or 11th year. The way that I look at it is it an awesome experience if you understand what your getting into and plan accordingly. The website have floor maps of the exibit hall and the panel rooms, plus schedules of panels,portfolio reviews, screenings, etc, etc. You can never be too anal with planning things out, if its your first few times there.
With Hall H and 20 you ether need to skip those entirely (Usually that stuff ends up on Youtube minus the clips afterwards anyways) or get in line an hour or more early for 20 and longer for H. BUT I look at the line time as a chance to network (Always have cards and portfoilos/ashcan sketchbooks to give away) I got a job once out of line networking at Comic-Con) and/or read some of the Graphic Novels/Comicbooks and freebes that I have obtained while there. If your in a group you can take turns in line while the other checks out the exhibit hall.
Also rather then wade from one end of the exhibit hall to the other I will go out to the hallway so that I can speed to the area of the hall that I want to go to. I still go from one end to the other, but I usually go for an hour then hit a panel and then use the hallway to return to where I left off.
Never buy food from the convention center. Its over priced and not great. I usually get a cheap motel that has continental breakfast and then I have apples and snacks in my backpack to tide me over until 7pm Dinner when the main Hall closes. Theres a Wendys, Subway and Baja Fresh about 5 or 6 blocks away along with a Ralphs (or somesort of grosery store) about 4 blocks away. (Personally I like to hit the floor running and not stop until 7pm since theres so much to see and do.)
Plus if you want a break from the crazyness attend some of the illustration/drawing/how to panels. (Pretty much anything on that halfway level with the stairs behind the main exibit hall.) A lot of the time they are a lot less crowded and its easyer to talk one on one with the artists. Or walk around the marina behind the Convention Center for fresh air. It is possible to have a great and productive time, you just have to plan for it and be prepared.
I love CTN Expo, but personally I think that the price can be a little too much in comparison to other conventions. Not that, that would stop me since CTN is great though.
Re: San Diego Comic Con - Is it worth it?
Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
Re: San Diego Comic Con - Is it worth it?
I was surprised this year at how many people I know who usually go but didn't this time around. A lot of others wanted to go but tickets were sold out. It's ironic that folks are increasingly turning away or being turned away from the Con, but it will still get huge crowds and is extremely popular. Maybe things will balance out more in the future.
Re: San Diego Comic Con - Is it worth it?
Looks like I wasn't the only one asking the question this year.

Yes, we admit that resort collections are relevant the world over — everyone likes a good vacay. But when designers release early summer looks, with beach-y, bright colors and leisure life inspiration, the fun, printed pieces feel just so inherently Miami. Maybe because Palm Beach and The Magic City always serve as an inspiration for urban paradise — be it traditional Lilly Pulitzer or cutting-edge Chris Benz — resort '13 is our season.
So now that designers are considering resortwear as fun alternatives for those who want warm weather luxury in their day-to-day (instead of the collections belonging to the elite few who can afford a yearly trip — and its matching wardrobe — to the Maldives), the offerings are more Miami-ready than ever. Pop-inspired colors and Art Deco inspirations meet wearable, smart tailoring, short suits and cropped jackets made for Ocean Drive, and bold shift dresses aren't just for the gilded class but a lady-on-the-go. In other words, resortwear is less about lounging on la playa and more about energy, color, and spunk (sound familiar, MIA?).
So peep the pieces that're not only inspired by our city but are now inspiring our wardrobe (see how that works?)...because today's resortwear isn't just for the chosen few.

The Evolution Deceit
"The Jewish people are commanded by Almighty God to live in peace with all peoples and nations on the face of the globe. Our agenda is simple It is to humbly worship the Creator at all times. As Torah Jews we are called upon to feel and express our sense of compassion when any person or group of human beings suffers." 1
Say, "O People of the Book! Let us rally to a common formula to be binding on both us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God." (Koran, 3:64)

Thanks to everyone coming out this past Saturday, and helping us get 23 boats on the line in some very chilly conditions! Throughout the day, we had steady wind around 8-10 knots. Current was sweeping across the course, going out of the harbor, and seeming to slack through the afternoon. In the first few races, you simply had to sail course left to take advantage of a mixture of current relief and geographic shifts. The course become more even, as we brought the pin down, the right gate up, and the current slacked. During race four, the wind came down as the snow fall increased, leading to slower races and reduced visibility. Fortunately, we were able to get 6 races and finish around 3pm!
Overall, starts were very good. We had a general recall in which nearly everyone in the front row was over, which is a sign of a quality fleet. Watching races, I was impressed by how much better starts and mark roundings looked throughout the fleet, compared to the first weeks of the series. The fleet tends to stay close together, racing is tight, and boats are often switching places through the last moments of the finish! We had 6 races, and 5 different boats get a 1st place finish. Pretty exciting for Rhodes 19s!
This Saturday is the Valentine's Day Regatta, which I hope you will all join us for. Results don't count for the regular series, and I know we will have lot's of extra boats, so let me know if you wan't a boat and don't normally sail, or if you do normally sail but won't be joining in the fun this Saturday. Prizes will be chocolate hearts. The Winter Series awards will be given out after racing the following Saturday. Congratulations to Mark Lindsay and Jim Watson on 1st Place, Matt Marston and Cheney Brand on 2nd, and Bryan Lee, Annemarije Veenland, and FJ Ritt on 3rd!
