Find another doctor. If one doctor-patient relationship didn't work there are lots of other fish in the sea. Move on!
So if you are one of the unlucky innocent victims of Bad Patient Syndrome, I am sorry. It really does suck. When the simple answer doesn't work the therapy is going to be longer and harder, but it still can work...
While I'm sure it would feel great to tell off your doctors it wouldn't help. It would likely make things worse.
Bad Patient Syndrome is a prejudice, and like most delusions prejudice is most dangerous when you try and expose it. Prejudice is subconscious. Docs don't recognize we think this way. Your confrontation or insisting on your innocence only confirms our suspicions that you must be a manipulative asshole.If you directly attack a delusion it will only entrench itself. You have to work on it subtly until it is the prejudiced person who realizes they were wrong. Your doctor must think they discovered you aren't a bad patient on their own, without any confrontation from you at all.
Dr. D only realized he was labeling people as bad patients after he "discovered" that a few "bad patients" were amazing amazing people after all. In retrospect, I think they were quietly working against my prejudice all along.
The best way to approach this is to imagine yourself in the doctor's shoes. Ask yourself, "If I suspected someone was manipulative, dishonest, or crazy would this behavior seem to confirm my suspicion?" If the answer is YES or even MAYBE then don't do it!When a patient suspect they're being unjustly labeled as being a bad patient the instinct is to resist. Patient's get angry or argumentative. They beg and plead. They lose control of their mouths and emotions. They accuse their doctors of incompetence or malpractice. They behave erratically and refuse to work with their doctors. These desperate attempts to resist only confirm the doctors' prejudice toward them.
Instead your strategy must be to come across as calm and above suspicion. Try to act as normal and well-adjusted with your doctor as you do with your friends and family.
If your doc seems frustrated with you say in the most genuine way you can, "I know I'm a difficult case, and I realize I'm in the wrong on this. (Take the blame even if you weren't wrong) I'm still new to needing medical help. How can I do this in a way that help you, doc?"I realize this feels like giving in to an asshole bully who has mistreated you—and in some ways it is—but if you have an illness that needs medical help and the entire medical system is against you then you might have to play along with our delusion for a while. Sorry!
- First, you can finally realize it isn't your fault: You really aren't a bad person. It really is a false label that has been attached to you by delusional physicians.
- Second, you can understand WHY the doctor's mind becomes this way: While our prejudice against you is totally indefensible, you may realize that it is a warped product of our desire to do our jobs right and help people. Perhaps this will allow you feel sorry for us instead of angry with us.
- Third, you can make peace with the fact doctors are out of touch with reality: It's hard to take a totally reasonable person calling you bad, but you don't mind if a crazy person calls you names because he doesn't know what he's doing. Don't assume doctors are sane just because we have letters after our names! We are subject to psychological trauma just like anyone else--and we get a lot of it in this job. It is quite possible that you are the most emotionally mature person in your doctor-patient relationship. Treat us like your grandfather with Alzheimers and play along. "Sure Jimmy Carter's the President and the KGB is trying to break into your tool shed each night."
This knowledge will give you the patience and peace of mind to gradually undo the damage of Bad Patient Syndrome:
Work patiently with your doctor. Don't try to change you doctor's idea that you are a bad patient anytime soon. Your goal is to let his or her mind change on it's own. Your long-term campaign of patience, kindness, and consistency will eventually wear down your doc's prejudice.
I'm not saying this is easy. Changing anyone's misinterpretation of you is hard, and it's doubly hard when it's your doctor and you feel sick and are worried about your health.
As you work with this one doctor you will learn a lot about doctors in general. We are an odd bunch, but we are also predictable. You'll start to learn how we think: what sets off our prejudices, and also what lowers our defenses and makes us humane.
Chances are if you are getting repeatedly labeled a Bad Patient there is something about your style of interaction that sets off alarms in the medical psyche. Work patiently with one doctor to cure your "Bad Patient Syndrome" and you'll likely find the doctor-handling skills you learned will work with every other MD you encounter.
Dr. D was once near burn out and lost within the delusion that patients who didn't act the way I thought they should were bad. It only took one patient who I had previously written off as a hopeless bad patient to turn me around. He was so damn genuinely nice to me that I suddenly realized I had been calling one of the most amazing human beings I would ever meet a "hopeless trainwreck."
In many ways a "bad patient" has the opportunity to transform a physician and positively affect thousands of other patients in a way a "good patient" never could.
Have any of you who have been labeled a bad patient every tried this?
Do you think heathcare workers are open-minded enough to reexamine their prejudice about a "bad" patient?
Dr. D always looks forward to reading your stories!

Freek insident.
My girls were on the porch waiting for their din din, while getting home and unraveling the days experiences.
They have the silly wire cages in the house vs plastic crates in basement and for travel.
Well, I came back into the porch with food and my Ryder was standing there, not moving a muscle! My other girl panser was hiding in the corner like Ryder was a monster or something. I didnt quite get it at first. Slowly I realized, Ryder, coudln't move, at all! Some how her rabies tag had caught onto the hook on the wire crate. She must have panicked and attacked the crate a few times, hence pansers fearful state from the corner, and was standing their submitting to the crate door. The crate was dragged out a good three feet with a plant on it and everything. Not a light object. Had to show what came of it. I slowly unhooked her, thinking, gonna get bit here, and lowered her head and just unlatched the hoop from the hook. I could smell anal glands...ugh! I knew she was scared at that point. She was licking licking licking like avoidance.
Once I released her she clacked her jaw and look and behold!.....
Ok, can I just say, I was tearing up, seeing this, and she ran in and ate her dinner like nothing happened!!!!
The doc says we gotta remove the rest of it at some point but to wait for us to get a drill and let her swelling come down. No rush. What a night!
And this is her upper left Canine tooth by the way. There is another two thirds of the tooth still in there! Perfectly healthy, 4 year old, canine tooth! Both my dogs are traumatized!

(couldn't find the original source)
That picture totally make me want to go read Ann of Green Gables and go have a picnic or something. Did you know Easter is right around the corner? I've got one little girl Easter dress done, and one to go. Have you Springified your house and wardrobe yet?
I saw this dress, and decided a yellow dress must absolutely be in my future. Hopefully one that costs a tad less than $995, but it is gorgeous no?
So, what do you think about the floral trend these days? I am not one for trends unless they are something that is somewhat timeless. For instance, I'm not a huge fan of chevrons...don't hate me, its OK if you are. Florals though, I think I like.
I whipped up this floral tank out of some vintage rayon type fabric my mother in law gave me. Its hard to see, but it has a layered front and a key hole back. Knits are definitely my comfort zone since non-stretchy fabrics tend to be a lot more fussy to fit correctly. I'll have to work out some of the kinks before I attempt a tutorial. Just for grins and giggles, I'm entering it into Made by Rea's Spring Top Contest. You should totally check out the flicker pool, for some good sewing inspiration.
I want to put a bit more "Springness" about the house. I showed you my mantle here, but I haven't done much else since then.
Is this not the cutest little plant stand ever? Love it!
I wish I had mad free hand painting skills, I would totally do this something in my house. I bet modpodge and fabric would do the trick too. Hmm, must find an old dresser.
(couldn't find the original source on this one, any one know?)
That rug is pretty cute too! I like the different patterns. Well, I've got a little one loudly telling me in every baby noise possible that she is hungry and I had better do something about it quick...so have a happy weekend! Don't forget to take some time to head outside and enjoy the season!

Product Details
The root of the Lomatium dissectum plant is a natural medicine with extensive traditional use by the Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest and Northern Nevada where it grows. It was used primarily for upper respiratory infections, although a great many other uses have been noted. When the influenza epidemic hit Northern Nevada in 1918, Ernst Krebs MD of Carson City was surprised to see the local Washoe people recovering, and he inquired as to their medicine. They called it "Toh-sa" or "Do-sa". Dr. Krebs called it Balsamea, due to its biting odor of balsamic resins. Botanists named it Leptotaenia dissecta until 1942 when it was renamed Lomatium dissectum.
Lomatium Dissectum—also known as Lepotaenia Dissecta and Leptotaenia Multifida prepared in a 30% ethanol base.

Grain prices will likely again drive U.S. agriculture in 2013, according to several speakers at the recent Tennessee agriculture leadership forum,made possible by Farm Credit Mid-America.
Near record low stocks of soybeans and corn and wheat will keep demand for these grain products high and prices good for farmers through the 2013 season.
However, the news is not universally good for farmers. Livestock and dairy farmers will continue to be in a high stress economic situation due to continually increasing grain prices, economists contend.
Terry Barr, senior director for industry research for Co-Bank ACB, says the outlook for the U.S. economy as a whole is not nearly so rosy. He says the world economy is not getting better.
Barr says 60 percent of U.S. economic growth is determined by consumer spending. Debt, unemployment and political uncertainty will limit growth in these sectors in 2013.
To underline his point, Barr notes that while unemployment may be down to 7.8 percent, under-employment in the United States is still nearly 15 percent.
Home prices, he says, have increased by 1 to 1.5 percent per month over the past three months. However, nationwide home prices remain about 30 percent lower than the price levels of 2006.
Between June 2006 and July 2012 central banks worldwide have injected $6 trillion into the global economy. Countries like the United States, Great Britain, Japan and Switzerland have shouldered most of the load.
By early 2013, the United States will face yet another economic crossroad. The U.S. Congress will have to decide whether to raise the debt limit and whether to extend tax cuts.
"How Congress and the president face these issues will go a long way toward determining U.S. economic recovery," Barr says.
What does a good and bad financial outlook mean for farmers, especially those in the Southeast, for the upcoming 2013 planting season?
Grain crops promising
Among the primary crops planted in the region, economists speaking at the Tennessee agricultural forum agreed that grain crops will likely remain a good crop for Southeastern growers, while traditional crops like cotton and peanuts may face a difficult time competing for acreage.
Though not considered by some to be a traditional southern crop, wheat acreage over the past few years has continued to climb, especially in the upper Southeast.
Among the Southeastern states North Carolina is by far the largest wheat producer. In the Tar Heel state alone it is estimated that nearly 1,000,000 acres of wheat will be planted this fall.
From 2010 until 2012 in the United States, wheat prices have increased by 42 percent and use for livestock feed has increased an astounding 238 percent. In grain deficit Southeastern states wheat growers are rapidly cutting into the shortfall of grain for use as livestock feed.
During the same time, U.S. wheat exports were down by 11 percent and food and seed use was up 3 percent. The small increase in food and seed use was driven primarily by an increase in demand for wheat seed.
Wheat acreage for the 2012-2013 growing season in the Southeast is likely to be driven by continued high prices. The latest USDA estimates are for continued good wheat prices, likely in the $8-$9 per bushel range.
Uncertainties over the U.S. corn crop in 2012 are dominating world markets, according to Barr. He notes that U.S. corn yields declined for the third year in a row in 2012.
In June of 2012, the USDA estimated corn yields would be 163 bushels per acre. Following one of the worst droughts in history in the Midwest that yield estimate is now down to 122 bushels per acre.
Small yield increases in corn in most Southeastern states had little impact on total corn production in the U.S.
Production declines over the past three years have driven domestic use for corn down from 13 billion bushels in 2010 down to an estimated 11 billion bushels in 2012. Use is projected to continue to decline in 2013.
In 2012 corn stocks were at their lowest levels since 1995. In the past year corn used for ethanol in the U.S. is down 25 percent, feed use is down 9 percent and corn exports are down 25 percent. During that same time, corn prices have increased by 26 percent.
Whether soybean acreage in the Southeast is being driven by wheat or vice versa is open for debate.
Regardless of the driver, soybean acreage across the region was up in 2012 and appears certain to be up again for the 2013 planting season.
North Carolina a measuring stick
Again, using North Carolina as a measuring stick, soybean acreage in North Carolina in 2012 is projected to be more than 1.43 million acres.
For the 2013 season, acreage is expected to increase to more than 1.5 million acres.
Charles Hall, executive director of the North Carolina soybean growers Association, says optimism is high for the 2013 crop. He says extremely hot weather during part of the growing season in 2012, combined with the ideal moisture across most of the state, is proving to be a trade-off on yield, which will likely end up somewhere in the 30 bushel per acre range.
Barr says the soybean market is riding on a smaller South American crop and on U.S. production concerns for the drought stricken 2012 crop.
Since 2006 world soybean stocks are down 12 percent. More alarmingly, exports from major soybean exporters like Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and the U.S. are down an average of 35 percent.
Most economists agree this continued decline in soybean stocks worldwide should mean extended good prices.
Brazil and Argentina had a sharp increase (29 million metric tons) in soybean production in 2012 and U.S. production is expected to have a slight decrease.
Worldwide, soybean production is expected to increase by 11 percent for the 2012 production season, but demand will more than offset a one-year increase.
In the United States strong demand will absorb the smaller than expected crop, pushing stocks lower and domestic demand higher.
Whether the price of 2012 beans goes up or down will be driven by purchases made in South America and China, according to Barr. He says prices may be up or may be down, but almost assuredly will be high.
Declining soybean stocks will push soybean meal prices even higher, Barr says. Soy meal prices already are already up 45 percent over the past two years, he adds.
These high prices are already impacting livestock production in the Southeast and will continue to do so into the next year, the economist says.
A larger than expected world cotton crop in 2012, plus reduced demand is pushing cotton stocks up worldwide.
A significant reduction in cotton acreage in the U.S. as a whole and in the Delta and Southeast in particular, has not significantly affected global cotton supplies.
Southeast acreage down
Cotton acreage in the Southeast in 2012 was down in virtually every state and significantly down in some states.
North Carolina, for example, had a decrease of about 180,000 acres last year. While the acreage cuts were not nearly so severe in some states the overall impact was a significant decrease in cotton acreage across the Southeast as a region.
Projections for acreage in 2013 vary dramatically from one source to another. Some cotton insiders say they expect similar drops across the cotton belt for the coming year.
Among the Southeast's traditional crops peanuts may have the bleakest outlook of them all. Price expectations led to increased acreage throughout the Southeast in 2012. However, much of the peanut crop was planted without the benefit of firm contracts.
In Georgia alone, it's estimated that more than half the crop was planted without a contract.
Tyron Spearman, peanut industry observer, says too many farmers saw too many dollar signs. The end result, he says, is exactly what we expected — too many peanuts.
Domestically and worldwide, demand for peanuts remains good. Despite that, over-production will likely keep prices low for the 2012 crop and likely into the 2013 growing season. The end result will likely be a significant decrease in peanut acreage for the upcoming year.
While high grain prices have been a boon for some farmers, the corresponding high price for livestock feed has been devastating for many.
For example, beef cattle numbers are at their lowest level since 1952 and production is near historic lows (22.5 billion pounds).
The economic news is not all bad for livestock producers, at least for those able to stay in the business. Beef prices over the past two years have risen by 53 percent and hog prices are up by 65 percent.
Despite the high prices, production is expected to fall 45 percent and pork and poultry production by 1-2 percent in 2013.

(Dromaius novaehollandiae)
An adult emu may reach two metres in height and can weigh up to 45kg, making them the tallest bird inhabiting Australia. They are outweighed by only one other bird in Australia- their relative, the cassowary. The feathers of an emu are double shafted, giving the birds a loose, shaggy look. Emus are brown in colour, although the intensity of this colour varies according to the season of year, changes in surroundings and the behavior of nearby birds.
Although they have feathers, they cannot fly because their wings are too small. Also due to the structure of the feathers they are no longer capable of creating lift. This open structure serves the sole purpose of insulating against the elements. Emus have three toes, the underside of these toes is flattened with a small pad, to aid traction over rough terrain.
Emus are found throughout Australia in almost all habitat types.
Emus feed mainly on grass, flowers, seeds, fruits and insects. Emus also consume stones which aid in the digestion process.
Emus are sexually mature at around two years of age. Breeding season will usually occur between April and November. Normally emus are silent, but during breeding season, the female will make a deep, booming noise. Emus will lay a clutch of 6-11 eggs which are dark grey-green in colour and are about 13.5cm in length and 9cm wide.
It is up to the male to take care of the eggs during the 60 day incubation period and he is the sole parent for up to two years after the eggs hatch. After laying her eggs the female will find another wandering group and usually another mate with which she will lay another clutch of eggs. Female emus can lay several clutches of eggs to numerous males in one breeding season.
Emu Profiles
Sex: Male
This bloke is a real character, as are all the emus. He has a light coloured plumage, and a 'cool hair do'!
Eddie became part of the Australia Zoo family after being rescued from a nearby forestry area. He was in very poor condition and very hungry when we took him in. Since coming to live at Australia Zoo Eddie has flourished and now lives with his friend Eric.
Sex: Male
Eric could best be described as not the sharpest tool in the shed, but what he lacks in smarts he makes up for in personality. This fella loves nothing more than getting up close and personal with the keepers. He enjoys hanging out and following us around and checking out what we are up to each morning while we clean his enclosure. He also really digs getting hosed down, when the weather's hot!
Eric has a dark plumage and is an impressive young male emu. Just like Eddie, Eric is another cool customer and his hairstyle is even trendier than Eddie's.
Eric's story is rather sad, but is all too common. He was found sitting beside his dead father in the middle of the road. His dad had become another statistic - tragically hit by a car and left to die. This is where Eric's luck changed. A kind person stopped, rescued him and bought him to us here at Australia Zoo were we have cared for him and watched him grow into the strapping fella he is today.

Japan gets fug-fading USB ashtray
The Universal Serial Bus has come to the rescue of smokers who want to partake of a crafty ciggie but ensure the boss doesn't get a whiff that office regulations are being so flagrantly transgressed. Yes, it's the USB ashtray, disguises when closed as a car.
Opening the gizmo triggers a fan which, the product's Japanese supplier claims, sucks the smoke through an absorbing filter. Of course, any fumes you breathe out are your own affair, but you can always direct the flow toward the ashtray's fan...
The gadget's USB powered, but it'll also run off a pair of AAA batteries for when you're out and about, at your mother's, or whatever.
Each ashtray costs around ¥500 ($4.30/£2.20/€3.25). More details from supplier Greenhouse . ®

HTC HD2 Reviewed
HTC HD2 Reviewed snapvoip.blogspot.com
Ebgadget has done a super job of reviewing HTC HD2, to me it is as important as the phone itself. The phone is equipped with a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, a generous 4.3-inch, 800 x 480 capacitive WVGA touchscreen display, an auto-focusing 5-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, GPS, and lots of other bells and whistles has made this phone the flagship of Windows Mibile 6.5 showcase. It seems that the phone is capable of bringing true capacity of the Windows Mobile 6.5.
But it is also seems that HTC's "sense" interface, the best of all HTC phones, is making the phone and the OS stand out, rather than being just a pinted face on the underlying OS.
The phone's hardware is not average either, in addition to Snapdragon processor and the large display, there is 512MB of ROM, 448MB of RAM, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.1, a microSD slot (supporting up to 32GB cards), an accelerometer, proximity sensor, and light sensor completes the phone ready complete most of the day to day mobile tasks and more.
Link to the great review after the jump.

The Citywide Leader in Sports?
More than thirty years after its very first SportsCenter, ESPN is a colossus—bigger, stronger, and faster than its scrappy founders could have possibly imagined. Now, by thinking smaller, it's thinking bigger than ever
It's an unusually blustery Friday in late October, and the Dallas Cowboys are finishing a light morning practice before Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons. The Cowboys' twenty-two-acre training complex sits off a quiet side street in Valley Ranch, a master-planned neighborhood of McMansions and manicured lawns sprawling across a reclaimed floodplain northwest of the downtown skyline. Just up the road is the Barbara Bush Middle School, the Riverside Church of Christ, and a Dickey's Barbecue Pit, totems of an abiding Texas faith in Jesus, the Bushes, and smoked meat. But there's no more unifying religion in the Lone Star state than the Cowboys. The team's late-season surge is still a couple of months away, and they're off to a tepid 3-2 start. Not catastrophic, but also not what owner Jerry Jones had in mind for the debut season of his $1.2 billion, 100,000-seat stadium featuring a seven-story-high HD jumbotron, $9.50 Peroni beer, and $12 truffled mac 'n' cheese.
Calvin Watkins, a 41-year-old reporter for ESPNDallas.com, one of four local Web sites launched by ESPN last year, stands near the end zone and watches special-teams coach Joe DeCamillis choreograph punt returns, his commanding bark rising above the howling wind. Watkins has a few days' worth of stubble and wears a green-patterned shirt and jeans. Already it's been a busy morning. He's filed three blog items and his Web column. Later he has an online chat with readers scheduled and a radio appearance on ESPN's 103.3 FM. "The one thing on this beat," Watkins says, "is there's always shit going on." He spots Cowboys chief operating officer Stephen Jones, the owner's eldest son, walking toward the field. Watkins corners Jones and asks him whether the Cowboys overspent on the stadium. A text message buzzes Watkins's BlackBerry. It's his friend Clarence Hill, a Cowboys reporter for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, texting from the pressroom. Watkins texts back that he just interviewed Jones, a crucial source on the Cowboys beat—news that will surely antagonize Hill. "He's gonna run out here," Watkins says, flashing a raffish grin. "Clarence was in my wedding; when his first kid was born, I went to see him. We're close friends, but I'm gonna whoop his ass. That's the bottom line."
After practice, Watkins piles into his corner desk in the press room, a warren of cubicles down a long hallway from the locker room. He's the only ESPNDallas.com writer at Valley Ranch today. The other half-dozen journalists in the room are newspaper reporters, and Watkins knows them well. He did stints at both the Star-Telegram and The Dallas Morning News before bailing out of the newspaper industry. Watkins has journalism blood: His grandfather worked for Ebony and went on to produce a monthly African-American newsletter called Negro Heritage. He grew up in New York reading the Daily News every morning and decided on a newspaper career after college, landing a job at Newsday, on Long Island, and eventually working his way to the Morning News, a sports-journalism powerhouse that played far above its weight on the national scene. At its peak in 2000, the Morning News, under legendary sports editor Dave Smith, maintained a sports staff of more than one hundred reporters and editors. Historically, a guy like Watkins would have spent his entire career in newspapers, but last year he quit to join FanHouse, AOL's sports site, before jumping to ESPNDallas.com. "As much as I like 'em, newspapers are struggling," Watkins says. "They cut our pay. I'm a guy when you cut my pay and then you ask me to do more? Come on."
I'm in Dallas because I'm curious to see how ESPN—the self-proclaimed and undeniable "worldwide leader in sports," with its six cable channels, sprawling Web site, biweekly magazine, forty-six international television networks, 750-odd radio affiliates, and seven restaurants (try the creamy spinach artichoke dip!), the juggernaut that launched the careers of Keith Olbermann and Chris Berman and Bill Simmons and utterly revolutionized the tone and format of sports journalism in America and across the globe—is refashioning itself as a scrappy hometown outfit willing to hack through the weeds of local beat reporting. Last year it debuted sites in Chicago, Boston, Dallas, and Los Angeles, and the New York site goes live April 2. The idea is to cover local teams aggressively and to use the sites to break news. Each site features blogs and columns and a daily city-specific SportsCenter Webcast, along with clips pulled from ESPN's vast trove of video highlights and interviews. Given that newspaper advertising remains a $25 billion industry, not to mention the cultural clout papers wield even in their twilight, ESPN's local venture ranks with SportsCenter itself as one of the most paradigm-changing projects the network has conceived in its thirty-year history.
Watkins breaks from his blogging and scans incoming e-mails on his BlackBerry. Charean Williams, a veteran NFL reporter for the Star-Telegram, sits at a nearby desk chatting with an intern assigned to shadow her for the day. Williams, a petite blond with wide eyes and a sonorous Texas drawl, is in no rush to finish that day's story, since her deadline won't come until 5 p.m. In August the Star-Telegram, owned by the ailing McClatchy newspaper chain, instituted mandatory one-week furloughs for all staff and thinned its online department. "All of our Web people took buyouts," Williams says. "We haven't really stressed the Web, since we have nobody left."
That evening I attend a high school football game with Randy Jennings, a laid-off reporter who's stringing for ESPNDallas.com. High school sports are one of the remaining strongholds for local newspapers, but here, too, bruising economics have led to deep cuts. In 2000 the Morning News had more than a dozen full-time high-school-football reporters earning full salary and benefits. Today it's just four. Jennings was one of those Morning News reporters, but he was let go in April 2009 during a purge of 500 employees from the paper's parent company. A quiet man of 56, he has a wide nose, dark eyes, and ruddy cheeks. "I'm rooting for defense tonight," he says struggling to keep up with the game—the Arlington Colts versus their crosstown rivals, the Arlington Bowie Volunteers—though he isn't getting his wish: The Colts rack up thirty-eight points in the first half. Jennings peers through a pair of scuffed-up binoculars to the field below. "I need binoculars to see the field, but I need glasses to see what to write," he says. "It's terrible." Jennings hasn't bothered to look for another newspaper job. He never married, and when his mom got Alzheimer's fifteen years ago, he moved home to the house he grew up in. He says he's trying to open a Subway franchise with a reporter from the Morning News.
Is ESPN killing the sports section of your local paper? No. Not by itself, anyway. Much broader factors—plummeting ad revenue and falling circulation, both attributable to changing consumer habits—are taking care of that. After the rise of radio, television, and the World Wide Web, all manner of logic and economics pointed to the fact that distributing news—day-old news!—with fleets of belching trucks was absurd. For the sports journalist, there is only one way to cast his current predicament: as a long winning streak coming to an end. "Sports journalism is dead," says New York Post sports columnist Phil Mushnick. "The games have become props; the sports have become props. I think at the start of every day, ESPN's motives are pure, but before it's put on the air, on the Web, or in the magazine, it's all been ESPN-ized: It's there to self-promote, cross-promote. I'm frightened for whistle-blowers. It'll be a good time for bad guys when newspapers go down."
Newspapers began dying long before ESPN conceived its local sports venture. But the Bristol, Connecticut-based colossus is definitely making sure it's there to pick up the pieces—and the market share—when newspapers finally go. More than a few journalists hired by ESPN local sites boast a newspaper background. In Dallas, five of the six staffers came from the Morning News. In Boston, ESPN poached popular Patriots blogger Mike Reiss from the ailing Boston Globe. The Los Angeles site is staffed by former writers from the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News.
ESPN's local incursion started in 2006 when ecutives began brainstorming ways to increase the content on the websites of ESPN's five sports-radio stations, which then featured bland advertising promotions and streaming audio. By rebranding the radio Web sites as city-specific ESPN sites, they figured they could build robust local news organizations. So far, so good.
But the local effort faces its biggest test with the debut of the New York site, which will battle not just The New York Times but also an infamously nasty sports-radio and tabloid culture with a deep bench of opinionated sports columnists who would love nothing more than to take a high-priced carpetbagger down a notch. Fittingly, perhaps, ESPN looked to the tabloids when they hired well-respected Daily News sports editor Leon Carter to helm the New York site. "When ESPN called, I took a pause," Carter tells me. "It wasn't an easy decision to walk away [from the Daily News]." He said that ultimately he decided to leave for the chance to build something from the ground up. To succeed, he says, ESPNNewYork.com will need to give its readers content they won't be able to find anywhere else. "That's what New York is all about: When you fall asleep at night, you're thinking about what the competition will bring the next day. When you wake up in the morning, it's still on your mind. You chart your day based on what you have or what you didn't have."
So far, ESPN's competition is taking a diplomatic tack. Tom Jolly, the Times's sports editor, was conciliatory when asked about the impact of ESPN on the local media scene. "Competition is great," he said. "We welcome that." But Murray Chass, the former longtime Times baseball writer, sees a potent threat to his former employer. "The Times has clearly put its emphasis on its Web site, so if they're now going to be confronted by another Web site that does a better job, they're not going to look too good," he said. "I think the Times reporters can be beaten by ESPN reporters, because tabloid reporters already beat them."
Speaking of the tabs, consider the opinion of the New York Post's Mushnick, an almost comic-book caricature of the crusty sportswriter and a longtime ESPN hater. "ESPN is the monster that devoured the monster!" Mushnick snarls. "I'm a sports fan, and when I turn on ESPN, their experts have no greater understanding than a 12-year-old. Everything is a sell. And the hosts become the shopping clerks and cash-register punchers. They want it both ways: They want to be seen as journalists when it suits their purposes, and they want to be seen as bootlickers and entertainers when it suits their purposes. How intelligent do you have to be to understand you're listening to an infomercial?"
By now ESPN has grown accustomed to being criticized by columnists and pecked at by blogs like Deadspin, which had a field day covering former ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips's sex scandal with a 22-year-old production assistant last fall. "I don't look for sympathy," says Rob King, editor-in-chief of ESPN.com. After a two-decade career in newspapers—King was deputy managing editor of The Philadelphia Inquirer—he joined ESPN.com in 2004 and understands his former colleagues' competitive jealousies and angst. "When I was at the Inquirer, I had the experience where you're sitting there and here comes ESPN, who's doing a segment, and now we have to wait for [Allen] Iverson to be available, because he's talking to ESPN?" King understands the fear of ESPN as the price of success. "I've never worked at Walmart, but I've shopped at Walmart before, and there are many people there when I walk in the door, and they all seem happy," he says. "People have feelings about enormity. They do. It's just the nature of business."
I'm sitting in ESPNDallas.com editor Barry Vigoda's office in the network's Dallas bureau on Monday morning, October 26. Vigoda is looking at a pair of flat-screen monitors, planning coverage for the week ahead. A plastic Florida State Seminoles helmet—Vigoda is a Florida native—rests behind him on an empty shelf, but otherwise the white walls are bare. ESPN moved into the office only weeks earlier, and there are still rows of unoccupied cubicles down the hall.
Vigoda talk about sports coverage without the High Church righteousness commonly voiced by newspaper veterans. He espouses a stripped-down, consumer-based view of journalism. He wants his reporters to churn out readily digestible nuggets for readers who are most likely bored office jockeys clicking "refresh" on their browsers at work. "Readers have limited time," Vigoda says. "They aren't gonna sit there and spend a lot of time, I don't think, unless it's the most compelling read they've ever seen online, especially if you're talking about sports fans. They wanna get in and get out. To me, we get more value out of quantity. We want as many quick hits as we can."
Vigoda picks up the phone and dials into the weekly conference call with editors from Boston and Chicago. Each Monday, Kevin Jackson, ESPN's ecutive editor for digital media, brings the local editors together to coordinate coverage across the sites. They discuss lineups and developing story lines, along with ways to best make use of ESPN's video clips. Jackson's orders spray out of the speakerphone in staccato bursts. "I imagine today is the type of day that Bears fans are just ready to tear Soldier Field down, they're so mad," he tells ESPNChicago.com editor Keith Sgariglia. (Cincinnati crushed the Bears yesterday, 45-10.) "We should do as much as we can to tap into that anger."
Just then Vigoda ducks out of the call to answer his cell phone. It's Watkins, calling with a tip that the Cowboys are hastily scheduling a news conference for later that afternoon. Rumors are swirling around Valley Ranch that the Cowboys are preparing to announce a major contract extension for star linebacker DeMarcus Ware. "Damn! I knew that was gonna happen," Vigoda snaps. "I was just thinking about that not just ten minutes ago. Okay, let me know as soon as you hear something." He hangs up and frantically scrolls through his Twitter feed, looking for news breaks. "That's a huge story for us. Nobody's got anything yet," he mutters as his eyes trace the screen. His expression drops when he sees a tweet confirming the news from 105.3 FM, the Dallas sports-talk station and ESPN's chief rival.
"105.3 FM has it!" Vigoda yells over to Scott Noll, his number two editor. Noll asks Vigoda if they should dispatch Watkins and Tim MacMahon, the junior reporter on the Cowboys beat, to follow the story. Vigoda has a problem: Watkins has yet to confirm the news, and MacMahon is driving to a radio interview with ESPN radio host Randy Galloway. Vigoda tells Noll to alert ESPN's radio producers that their rival has reported the story.
Vigoda calls Watkins and leaves a message on his cell phone. "Calvin, it's Barry. Hey, the Fan has it on their Twitter page. It is in fact a DeMarcus Ware contract extension. That's the only place I've seen it right now. Gimme a ring back when you can."
Noll races back into Vigoda's office. "Tim is gonna have to go to that news conference," Vigoda says, "but he's already on his way to see Galloway. I need Tim there." He decides to yank MacMahon off his radio appearance and send him out to Valley Ranch to work the story.
He calls MacMahon's cell. "Hey, you saw the Ware stuff? I think you should probably be there," Vigoda tells him. "There's just gonna be a lot to write on this thing. I think you can do some blogging from there and let Calvin do the story. Sorry, dude. Okay, I appreciate it."
Vigoda clicks off. Just then, Fox Sports adds to Vigoda's distress when he sees their flashing headline: Ware has signed a $40 million six-year extension, one of the NFL's highest. Now Vigoda's been beaten both locally and nationally. Meanwhile he has internal tensions to deal with. Galloway and the radio producers are furious that Vigoda pulled MacMahon off his show at the last minute.
"All right, God damn it. That's a dynamic I never had to worry about before," Vigoda says. "If I need to send somebody out somewhere, I send them out somewhere. They're spread so thin—they're doing radio, they're doing television, they're blogging—so pulling them off means more than what they're doing for me. Randy Galloway is pretty pissed off."
It's a huge question clouding the future for ESPN's local project: Will the sites get the resources they need to replicate the heavy lifting that newspapers have historically done? So far, the answer is: not yet. Each site is staffed by a half-dozen or so reporters and editors to cover the NFL, NBA, Major League Baseball, the MLS, and high school sports. It's a shoestring effort, given that sports desks at some of their newspaper competitors have staffs ten times that size, even after layoffs. The sheer number of bodies that newspapers can throw onto a story is one of their final remaining arguments for sustained relevance. "We have many more reporters on the street than they do," says Dallas Morning News sports editor Bob Yates. "They've placed their bets on the Cowboys, which makes sense in this market. And after that? Spread thin—this is an accurate description."
Right now, ESPN is having to fight for local credibility one newsbreak at a time. It's an odd position for ESPN to be cast as an underdog when in every other medium it's been dominant for years. When the Cowboys opened their new stadium this season, the press office assigned Watkins and MacMahon terrible seats in the press box, shunting them off next to The Gilmer Mirror and KTXS News 12 out of Abilene, Texas. ("We got fucked," MacMahon griped.) And two weeks before I visited Dallas, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban flipped when he learned that ESPN hadn't been sending MacMahon to all Mavericks road games. (Partly because ESPN has national NBA writers covering every game, and those stories are posted on ESPNDallas.com as well as the flagship ESPN.com.) Cuban took to his blog, as he usually does when he has a grievance. In a post titled "The Dallas Morning News is killing ESPN Dallas," he railed: "The World Wide Leader in Sports is without question minor league when it comes to ESPN Dallas... Its hard to offer any coverage when you don't actually have anyone at the games."
Yet the tendency of ESPN's local critics to focus on head count is missing the larger point: ESPN might not need many bodies on the ground to revolutionize local sports coverage. More than any major media company, ESPN excels at repurposing and cross-promoting its coverage across every medium, from television to mobile to video games to local sports. The fiefdoms and turf wars that have hobbled so many media companies are largely absent at ESPN. "Synergy," that much-maligned new-media mantra, actually exists—and thrives—at ESPN. Concedes veteran Morning News columnist Barry Horn: "There's a lot you can do with smoke and mirrors."
But here's maybe the most important reason not to underestimate ESPN's city sites: Consumers just can't get enough of the brand. ESPN's ironic sensibility has supplanted the ire of the jaded ink-stained wretch—sorry, Phil Mushnick—with the deadpan of its on-air personalities, immortalized by the late-'90s ad campaign "This is SportsCenter." Having reinvented sports reporting around the world, ESPN wants to own your hometown—and everyone else's hometown, too.

Hi, all:
I've been programming server-side offscreen rendering with OpenGL under MS Windows. The workflow consists of the following steps:
1. A client sends a request for volume rendering.
2. Server receives the request, forks a worker thread to do some ray-casting with parameters contained in the request.
3. Server retrieves the rendered image, sends it to the client and terminates the worker thread.
It works fine at first. However, after 10,000 requests, wglMakeCurrent() will fail and significant memory leak can be detected. So I make a simplified test program which contains only OpenGL context creation and deletion. It's shown below. wglMakeCurrent() always fails after about 10,000 loops. Can somebody tell me if there's anything wrong with the code? I'm using Nvidia Quadro GPU, the driver version is 307.45, OS is Windows 7 64-bit.

I found something confusing with this test program. wglMakeCurrent() creates a Windows user object every time it's called, but this object is not released in wglDeleteContext(). It still exists even after the worker is terminated, causing a memory leak. There is a per-process limit of user objects under Windows, so the program will eventually fail.
When the code of context creation/deletion is moved to the main thread, wglMakeCurrent() doesn't create new user object after the first invocation. So it seems that wglMakeCurrent() only create new user object in new threads. But since the OpenGL context is explicitly deleted and the thread is terminated, resources associated with that context should be released as well. I'm not sure it's the fault with my code or the driver. Can somebody help me with this? Thanks.

So long streak here's my "Blog of the Week"
3/14/09 00:02 AM Sorry, I don't blog on Friday the 13th it's unlucky.
So the Rockies dropped one. I'm in the glass is half-full kind of mood today so as I sit back and look at our record which now 6-8 and I think..I'm ok with that.
It's spring training. I hear tell from Mr. Harding over at "Hardball in the Rockies" that Brad
Hawpe will be appearing in tomorrows game against Seattle.
Apparently the boo-boo finger is healed and Hawpe is ready to bop.
I'm starting to get my baseball stuff in order. The regular season is fast approaching. If I was older and retired I'd be in Phoenix for the Rockies first game against the D-Backs. But no, I'm still too young and sexy to retire so that road trips not gonna happen for a few decades.
If you've wondered what the RPR Sports Memorabilia History and RR # Verification link on my sidebar is I'll tell you. I'm cataloging my autograph collection. I figure it's easier to write the story of how each autograph was obtained while I can still remember the details. It's part of my Pre-Alzheimer's checklist.
Don't laugh, I already have a few items that I don't remember when I had them autographed.
If I feel so inclined I can go back through my blog entries and track every piece, but having them listed in one place with easy access will be nice. Don't try and comment on that page. I've turned the comments off.
Just so you know, at this point none of my stuff is for sale unless you offer me a ridiculous amount of money. Or I'll trade it all for a REALLY good camera.
Check out my new Bobblehead.
It cost a chunk of change but it came with a truck. There was a big car sale at Invesco Field at Mile High and if you bought a car you got a bobblehead. By far the most expensive bobblehead I own but I really like this truck.
Most of you who are younger than me won't get this but I've always wondered why older folks take the stairs one at a time. My whole life I've always cruised up the stairs two at a time. It's faster and better for you. Today I was taking the stairs and I caught myself going up them one at a time.
Entering your 40's you start to notice many moments like the one I experienced.
Get's me to thinking what's next? Hair growing in my ears?
(<——-This is actually this dudes ear hair)
At what age to I start to jack up my pants?
Will the Ranter's trademark sunglasses switch to those big ash ones you see retired people wearing.
Will I start carrying around hard candy?
No worries yet, I'm aging gracefully and I can still hop the bleachers in the Pavilion two at a time (knock on wood).
So far this season, I've snagged 12 baseballs and one live homerun baseball. So if you think you can out snag this old man you better pack a lunch and bring an extra six bucks for a Rockie Dog…I'm not play'n this year, it's the real deal and it's on like Chaka Khan,……Chaka Khan, Chaka Khan, I feel for you 🙂
This little Rockies blog is starting to get some attention. My page hits are up from spring training and staying there. My thanks again to Rox Girl over at the Purple Row for the recent props.
Enough of my ideas have been "borrowed" here that I feel it's ok to "borrow" one myself. I plan to do a "Ranter's Blog of the Week" and spotlight other bloggers. However instead of being intimidated by other Rockies bloggers (chew on that), I plan to spotlight Rockies bloggers.
My original goal with blogging was to bring more love/attention to my team and I figure a great way to do that is to promote our promoters if you get me?
There will be no special order in which I do these and I might not do one every week. I like people who are passionate about their team.
The first "Ranter's Blog of the Week" goes to:
Missy from: View from the Rockpile
I read her blog and you can tell that this woman loves her team and her job with the Rockies. I have to tell you this, Missy sent me an email the other day and mentioned that she had a lot of Rockies pictures and wanted to put them in a separate blog. But she didn't want to do it if I felt she was copying the "Rockpile Ranter's Picture Blog". I told her please do it, but the fact that she had the decency and respect to write me first really blew me away.
To me that's the actions of a good-hearted person.
So congrats Missy, thank you for working for and promoting the Rockies, and thank you for being a stand up blogger in a sit down world full of Wal-Mart shopping carts with one F'kd up wheel.
Go Rockies, or I'll push…D

St. Charles, Mo.—The Lindenwood University Theater Department will present the classic musical Guys and Dolls at 7:30 p.m. on March 14 through 16 at 2 p.m. on March 17 at the university's Bezemes Family Theater.
Tickets, which range from $10 to $18, are available at the Lindenwood University Box Office, 636-949-4433, and online at www.lindenwood.edu/center. The box office and the Bezemes Theater are located in the J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts, at 2300 West Clay St. in St. Charles, Mo.
With music by Frank Loesser and book by Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows, Guys and Dolls is based on the short stories of Damon Runyon. It debuted on Broadway in 1950, where it ran for 1,200 performances and won the Tony for best musical. It was adapted into a film in 1955, starring Marlon Brando, Jean Simmons, Frank Sinatra, and Vivian Blaine. It has been revived on Broadway and in London numerous times, most recently in 2009.
The musical portrays the hustle and bustle of a whimsical New York City, exploring the city's underworld of gambling and the colorful characters that inhabit it. Nathan Detroit is the lovable leader who runs illegal crap games and is eager to organize a wild evening of gambling and mischief when he hears the notorious Sky Masterson is in town. The charismatic Masterson bets Detroit that he can get any gal. Detroit accepts and chooses Sarah Brown, the straight-laced conservative leader of the Save-a-Soul Mission. The hilarious story that follows has been called "the greatest musical comedy ever written."
The cast features Peter Colombatto as Sky Masterson, Katie Paszkiewicz as Sarah Brown, Chris Strawhun as Nathan Detroit, and Nicole Cuneo as Adelaide. It is directed by Larry Quiggins. Pam Grooms is music director, and choreography is by Jan Strzelec.
For more information on the Lindenwood University Theatre Department, contact Department Chair Emily Jones at 636-949-4838 or email@example.com.

Dormroom Chef
New M Media produces and manages internet media content. We would like to begin a re-branding process for our Dormroom Chef property, starting with logo design. Dormroom Chef is an online cooking show and social community that addresses the challenges of college cooking and helps students overcome them with fun, easy recipes. We would like to build the Dormroom Chef brand into one that is first to mind as resource for not just cooking, but college living as a whole - the Rachael Ray of college life, basically.
We aim for the Dormroom Chef brand to be a resource for college life and living. Obviously the main focus for the initial stages will be on cooking, but we have a plan to expand the brand to include other important aspects of college living. Our primary target audience therefore is college-age students, living on- or off-campus.
We are looking for a logo represent the Dormroom Chef brand and serve as a basis for the re-branding and re-design.
We would like the logo to pertain to cooking, but it should not be so specific that it limits itself to that subject.
The logo should be something that, moving forward, we can easily re-use and identify with other aspects of college living.
The logo's "personality" should be a mix of cooking (inviting, rich, bold) and college life (fun, enjoyable, slightly random).
Our previous logo and site design can be seen at http://www.dormroomchef.tv
Please feel free to experiment with colors!
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo

A new filtration device works with your current filter to trap up to 60% more debris in engine oil. The Halex Coil from Halex Magnetic Filtration Devices uses a neodymium magnet, which is 100 times stronger than regular magnets, to draw waste particles that are too small for a regular filter to catch. The coil attaches to the outside of the existing oil filter and, using a magnetic field within the walls of the canister, attracts up to 90% of the iron in the oil and 20 to 60% of nonferrous contaminates. The filter is reusable and reduces soot, emissions and wear.
Prices of 3- to 7 1/2-in. filters range from $215 to $256. Contact Halex Magnetic Filtration Devices Inc., Dept FIN, Box 1568, Bethlehem, PA 18106, 610/865-3351, or visit www.magneticfiltration.com.

Rubbish Bins - Equipping Your Home
Skips are trailer bins that are issued by public garbage disposal committees as well as private garbage disposal companies and agencies. It works quite similarly to the huge garbage trailer bins that are placed on the neighborhood block while the trucks collect the weekly waste. However this is a service that means you can call for a mini skip hire and clean out all your junk in one shot. You know that periodic spring cleaning sessions you have, right? They're not always in spring, but come to you when everything is getting really cluttered up, every once in a while.Maybe it has come with the onset of a new job or at the end of an old one. Maybe you are shifting houses and need to get rid of the excess you have accumulated, since one habit most humans seem to have in common is hoarding. Of course, maybe none of these life changing events has happened and you're just having a good old in depth clearing out session. Either way, where to put all the stuff you are disposing of poses a quandary. You can't just shift it all out on your doorstep or your lawn and wait for the garbage collect truck to haul it away after three or four days or even later.
It takes a lot of hard work and is not a cake walk to dispose of waste materials in the most desired way. Be it getting rid of your home clutter or managing your office fritters or taking a spring cleaning drive anywhere, it is quite a task to be on top of your clearance activities. Accumulation of the harmful and unwanted matters happens quite fast and at a time when it comes to your attention, you will find yourself in the midst of a mess if you do not plan ahead about how to do away with these.Disposing of the trash is an essential task and hiring bins which are nothing but open-headed, heavy-duty containers is one of the easiest ways to accomplish this. Below are mentioned some of the benefits that you will get if you opt for these.• Convenient way - One of the greatest benefits that you will get from these is the convenience they offer. You can schedule the arrival and removal of the discarded materials whenever you need to, at your door. So be it a commercial site or a domestic place doing away with the rubbish in the proper manner is not a heck of a task anymore.The above are some of the many advantages that you get from this service, and you can see that for yourself once you appoint any of the companies offering this service.
Rubbish Bins - Importance of Design
Some of it could be rubbish, old appliances, old furniture or even garden waste. If you leave it out, just like that, raccoons, rats, bandicoots and other marauding little creatures could infest your external property and become a regular problem. Your neighbors will almost definitely have an issue with that kind of mess, at the very least from an aesthetic perspective. Hygiene, contamination, creating a breeding ground for disease, bacteria and fungus… are all factors that play across one's mind when we think of irresponsible waste disposal. So it is best to plan out the 'spring' cleaning beforehand. The kind of cleaning materials and the quantity you require, the time you will have to invest in getting the job done and lastly and most importantly, how you will sort out the trash and where it has to go.There is a new really great way to get this done. You can call a mini skip company, and they deliver a mini skip bin to you, where you can chuck all your stuff. They come and take it away and put it in the tip. The job is done. Another alternative to mini skips are the latest feather in cap for many trash disposal agencies whether private or public. You can ask for a jumbo bag instead. Instead of a steel bin, you are provided with a bag. It is foldable, and you can open it up whenever you need it. You can fill it with up to 1.3 tons of trash. The reason they are preferred over mini skips is because they are not as unsightly, they do not come with a waste loading time frame and you are not charged for hire. The most appreciable thing is that eighty percent of all waste is recycled.

I am a mixed martial arts fighter that attended the Wharton School of Business. I also studied nutrition, exercise physiology, kinesiology, and skipped finance class to go to Jiu Jitsu practice. I am a thinking fighter, and want to make people realize that with logical thought and practice, they can use intelligence to defeat their opponents. We will be logically breaking down techniques found in the UFC and mixed martial arts fighting to make an instructional video series.
My target audience is anyone at all that wants to learn how to fight, self defense students, competative fighters, people who have been bullied, anyone that wants to use their brain and technique to beat someone's ass.
I don't have requirements other than to include the words "Science of MMA" and to convey a sophisticated or scientific approach to the training. It is up to you how to convey the feel of science or deep thought... Maybe DiVinci's vetruvian man beating someones ass on top of a pile of math equasions. This is obviously a ridiculous example but you get the idea. Convey the concept of intelliget and rational thought applied to real MMA style cage fighting techniques.

Quality Improvement
As a specialty, we must either engage in creating and implementing clinically valid performance measures or have them imposed on us by external entities. Evidence-based products developed by otolaryngologists for otolaryngologists will be needed for our specialty to meet the demands of payers, accrediting bodies, and maintenance of certification and licensure programs, so that our members can succeed in the changing healthcare marketplace. As otolaryngologists–head and neck surgeons we must take the lead in defining what "quality care" means for our specialty. Your Academy's goal is to develop clinical practice guidelines and performance measures that can apply to every practicing otolaryngologist–head and neck surgeon as quickly and efficiently as possible.
If you don't find the patient safety and quality improvement resources that you are looking for on our website, please contact us at email@example.com. We'll help you find the answer to your question and improve the resources for all Academy members.

Born out of New York City, Fanmail is offering a stylish alternative that appeals to consumer consciousness. Taking a modern approach to designing and composition, Charlie Morris is a relative newcomer yet he is perfecting a range of simplified basics, sustainably made and ethically sourced. Classic menswear silhouettes are reimagined from raw materials, tinted with earthy colours with an emphasis on simplicity. Launched in 2013, the young brand is proving that it is possible to create a pleasing collection that is sustainable and transparent in its ethical production.
For AW15, Fanmail's ongoing interest in uniform dressing gets filtered through the lens of 1990s-era Gap clothing. Pared down to essential "essentials" like khaki chinos and a white tee, the Fanmail AW15 wardrobe is less about statement clothing and more about personal style and personal expression. This season, the minimalist interpretation of classic styles resulted in several new pieces – among them a belted gusset pant, a twill shirt jacket, an oversize tee cuffed to show flannel sleeve lining, and a 3/4 sleeve sweatshirt t-shirt. In addition to the hemp and organic cotton jersey, they have added heather grey fleece and a dun-colored cotton velvet.

text: Corn Rootworm Trends, 2013 Recommendations January 3, 2013 08:01 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Sara Schafer Top Producer Editor Email Several dynamics have contributed to the explosion of corn rootworm in the Midwest, says Joe Short, AMVAC Midwest marketing director. One key driver is the dramatic increase of continuous corn acres. "Continuous corn will always have a higher population of corn rootworms." Due to the increased pressure of corn rootworms, Short says, corn soil insecticide use increased dramatically in 2012 and is expected to continue expand in 2013. The largest increases were concentrated in Iowa, southern Minnesota, parts of Nebraska and northern Illinois, where continuous corn production systems are common and have increased in recent years. "Much of the higher demand is on continuous corn," he says. "Growers are responding to larger, more difficult-to-control corn rootworm populations. Applying rootworm insecticides enhances control from rootworm hybrids, reduces lodging, improves harvest efficiency and boosts yield." Short explains how farmers can combat the pest: Back to news

What to Know About the Andaman Sea
The hunt for missing Flight MH370 turned towards the Andaman Sea on Thursday as Malaysian authorities asked India to search a detailed set of coordinates in the waters that border the country's far-flung Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
The Andaman Sea, part of the northeastern Indian Ocean, stretches 400 miles west to east from Andaman and Nicobar to the peninsular of Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia.
From north to south it covers about 750 miles, touching the Irrawaddy River delta of Myanmar in the north and the Indonesian island of Sumatra and Strait of Malacca in the south.
The Indian military have a tri-services command center on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that is now leading India's search for the missing jet.
The sea varies hugely in depth, but less than 5% of it is deeper than 10,000 feet. The deepest section is in a system of submarine valleys to the east of the Andaman-Nicobar Ridge, where the waters have depths of over 14,500 feet.
Towards the Irrawaddy River, where layers of silt have built up, the sea is less than 600 feet deep. Further west and in the center, the waters vary between 3,000 to 10,000 feet deep.
According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, trading vessels have plied the Andaman Sea since ancient times.
"It was part of the early coastal trade route between India and China and, from the 8th century, formed a link in a thriving trade between India and Sri Lanka to the west and the Myanmar ports of Thaton, Martaban, and Tavoy to the east," the Encyclopedia says.
George Town in Malaysia and Yangon in Myanmar are the two largest modern-day ports on the sea.
The devastating 2004 tsunami, triggered by a massive earthquake off the west coast of Sumatra, deluged the coast of the Andaman Sea region. A command center for natural disasters was set up in Andaman and Nicobar Islands following the tsunami.
