May Editors' Roundtable: St. Petersburg Times dives into missing man mystery
This month, the Editors' Roundtable looks at "When a diver goes missing, a deep cave is scene of a deeper mystery" by Ben Montgomery of the St. Petersburg Times. The story, our first newspaper narrative for the Roundtable, tells the tale of Ben McDaniel, who disappeared at Vortex Spring in August of last year.
Each month, we talk to the reporter who wrote the story while the editors pass around their comment sheet. The editors write about the piece without hearing from the reporter; the reporter talks about the piece without knowing what the editors will say. Tomorrow, we'll post our interview with Montgomery [update: interview is now up], but here, we offer our editors' take. Comments appear in the order in which they were made. For full bios on our editors, see our January post announcing the Roundtable.
Maria Carrillo
Managing editor, The Virginian-Pilot
There are so many things to like about this story. For starters, it's nice to see a piece that is essentially straight chronology, from beginning to end. You watch it play out as it happened, and you know what the people in the story knew at the time, so you're trying to figure out the mystery as they did.
I love how patient Montgomery was with this story. (Full disclosure: I'm a fan of Montgomery's, and he works with a close friend of mine.) He introduces the situation, you meet all the important characters, and he keeps probing. Montgomery never rushes. He helps the reader to understand what the divers are looking for and what they see or don't see (strong reporting there), and he builds up the frustration – for the parents and the sheriff and the girlfriend. He walks through every possibility – accident, foul play, escape, suicide. You start to want answers as much as the people who are looking for the diver.
I do think there are a few places where Montgomery reaches and didn't need to. For instance, he says that at 6-feet-2 and 220 pounds, the diver was hard to miss. That doesn't sound like a particularly large man to me. And boy, he went too deep – no pun intended – when he waxed about what exists at the end of the line.
Maybe it narrows to nothing, or maybe it opens to another chamber, another world, a far away place that few believe Ben could go.
Laurie Hertzel
Senior editor for books and special projects, Star Tribune
About two-thirds of the way through this piece, I thought, "Uh oh – he's not going to tell me what happened." And while this is brilliantly reported, and beautifully written, I wonder if a slightly different focus would have helped the reader feel less dismayed when they realized the answer to the mystery was not forthcoming.
Montgomery is very strong at building tension and momentum. He is great with details – the chat board messages, the crisp list of dangers of cave diving ("the silt can blind"), the 10-inch hole (though that should have been mentioned only once, not twice). He can turn lovely phrases. (Such as, maybe Ben "ascended into a new life" And the strong last line.) And he has the mechanics of pacing, and pivoting, down very well, ending each section with drama and at a point where I absolutely must read on.
But since the mystery remains a mystery, it seems to me that it would have helped to have a stronger driving question than "what happened?," since that question is not answered. One suggestion: Perhapsfocusing on Emily Greer would have worked – since she ends the piece, and she sort of represents hope and the future and the possibility of eventual resolution, she might have been cast as a stronger character throughout the piece, which could document her journey from happy girlfriend to bereft girlfriend to determined girlfriend.
Tom Huang
Sunday and enterprise editor, The Dallas Morning News
Ben Montgomery is a top-notch writer because he is a top-notch reporter. His precision with details brings authority to his storytelling. To see that, read the first section closely. You learn about the temperature and weak breeze the day Ben McDaniel disappeared; the temperature of the spring; what McDaniel was wearing; the fact that he was testing his equipment and jotting in his dive log before he went for the dive; the words on the warning signs at the mouth of the cave.
I also admired the reporting Montgomery must have done to understand the history and dangers of cave-diving – and to be able to describe the mouth of the cave, the narrowing tunnel, the gate and the tight spots.
I agree with Laurie: Montgomery's challenge here is that the diver's disappearance remains unsolved. I'm not saying we should avoid telling stories with unsolved mysteries. But, in order to approach a satisfying end, the storyteller needs to discover some other resolution, large or small. Maybe Montgomery's point is that, when we lose loved ones (especially those who disappear without a trace), we're left with holes that we can't fill.
I would have encouraged Montgomery to frame the story even more so from McDaniel's parents' or girlfriend's vantage point, and then figure out what epiphany they might have experienced. Perhaps it's enough to say that, living with that terrible loss, they committed themselves to making sure the diver would not be forgotten.
Tom Shroder
Founding editor, www.storysurgeons.com
What I like most about this piece is the simplicity, the almost "Dragnet" accumulation of short, clear sentences that patiently lay out the forking maze of a conundrum, pursuing one possible line of explanation after the next, only to reach a blank wall every time. I disagree that the failure to come up with a solution, to answer the mystery, is a failing. In fact, I think it is the whole point of this piece, and I think Montgomery realized that and then set out to write precisely about that – the lack of a reasonable explanation, no matter which way you turn; the way there are things in the world that defy logic and refuse explanation.
There were a few times when he got too enamored with the poetry of his writing. He pulls off a great moment and gets at something real:
Every time you challenge yourself, every time you overcome your fear of the dark and tight spaces and death, you resurface more alive, born into a new world. The air smells cleaner. Food tastes better. Sex is sweeter.
Then he follows it with a line that's pure pose:
Who knows what exists at the end of the line? Maybe it narrows to nothing, or maybe it opens to another chamber, another world, a far away place that few believe Ben could go.
Unfortunately, he steps off a cliff at the end when he says of the girlfriend:
She's been thinking lately about what it might look like down there in the dark. She may never get over this without knowing what's past the last restriction. She dives, not in caves, not yet. But she could. She's much smaller than Ben. She could fit.
This is either really her thought, that she wants to go past the last obstacle, in which case he erred badly by not saying so explicitly. Or, she has no intention of doing that, in which case he was being dishonest.
Chris Hunt
Assistant managing editor, Sports Illustrated
My own full disclosure: I once participated in a three-day writers' conference in the wilds of southeast Georgia with Ben, who's a mensch and a fine musician in addition to being a fine writer. Like Maria, I'm a fan of his.
The story is deeply reported and beautifully written, but I agree with Laurie and Tom that it didn't overcome the problem posed by the unresolved mystery. Ben might have attacked the problem head-on, foreshadowing it early and then writing more about the agonies of unexplained disappearances, perhaps in place of the purple passage Maria cited. As it is, the what-happened-next approach builds our anticipation and can't help but leave us disappointed when we realize we won't find out what ultimately happened.
Couple of quibbles: The chronology in Memphis was a little fuzzy to me – when did Ben's business and marriage go kablooey, and when did he reconnect with Emily? – and I missed a general description of Vortex Spring, which I couldn't quite picture: What does it all look like, where is the dive shop, etc.? Still, the story grabbed me. The writing is spare and vivid, the pacing just right, and I cared about the characters. Great work.
Jacqui Banaszynski
Knight Chair professor, Missouri School of Journalism
Montgomery weaves a tale that lures you ever forward to learn what happened next? That is craft, not trickery. Pay special attention to foreshadowing and cliffhangers. Montgomery plots this as a movie, setting up the core character and suspense, then hopscotching from scene to scene, leaving bread crumbs along the trail: warning signs at the cave, jimmied gate lock, abandoned air tanks.
Study the reporting for depth (broad cast of characters), detail (dollars in the wallet, name of the dog), precision (size and shape of the cave and the bodies worming through it) and creativity (gin-clear water). Great writing is born of great reporting. Montgomery reports.
The story is unduly long. Basic redundancies could have been excised with a squeegee edit.
Too many confusions. What triggered call to cops? Did Ben go through the keyed gate when the other divers saw him disappear? When did the girlfriend enter his life?
Ending. Casts story in a new light with a late-appearing and underdeveloped character.
This is a good yarn about an unsolved local mystery and the people caught up in it. That should be enough (though, alas, that might be a hard sell to editors these days). But it overreaches, forcing the mystery into a morality tale. Dial back the gothic (especially a lot of the soul-searching lines, which tip from show over to tell) and let it be what it is: a mosaic of people connected by and unable to shake this mystery.
For more, read our Q-and-A with Ben Montgomery, who talks about how and why he chose his ending and the importance of having a group of readers you trust. And if there's a particular piece you'd like to see dissected by the Roundtable, send a link for the story to email@example.com. Stories must be already published, available online and strong enough to stand some tough love.

As a novelist and also a writer of narrative nonfiction, I completely disagree with the criticism of the ending. I found it breathtaking — a plot twist that totally blindsided me but that, in hindsight, fits perfectly and resonates powerfully. If that's "step[ping] off a cliff," I'm happy to go over the edge with him. Hey, what the …? Where'd this bungee cord on my ankle come from?!? Cool!!!

Stimulus funds boost construction spending
| June 15, 2010 |
Construction spending rose to $869 billion between March and April this year thanks to stimulus funds, according to an Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) analysis of the Census Bureau's latest spending figures. Total construction spending rose by 2.7 percent, or $23 billion, over the month according to Census Bureau data released June 1, 2010.
Public construction spending increased 2.4 percent to $303.3 billion in April, and public nonresidential construction rose by 2.3 percent to $294 billion.
Private construction rose 2.9 percent since March to $565 billion, and private nonresidential construction increased 1.7 percent to $302 billion between March and April.
AGC chief economist Ken Simonson says public construction's monthly success is mainly due to funding from the stimulus bill.
"The stimulus is clearly driving one of the biggest increases in construction spending the industry has experienced in a long time," says Simonson.
According to Recovery.gov, of the $37.5 billion in stimulus funds available for the Department of Transportation, $11.91 billion has been paid out. According to its most recent stimulus report, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) expects transportation, community development, energy, and environment projects to characterize stimulus spending this year.
Increases in stimulus-funded contracts for transportation and highway projects boosted spending numbers for the public transportation sector. Public transportation construction spending climbed 29.1 percent to $30 billion since April 2009 while private transportation construction spending dropped 10.7 percent to $8 billion over the year.
While he recognized the impact of the stimulus bill on public construction, Simonson says the industry isn't out of the woods yet.
"Once you look beyond the stimulus," Simonson says, "these figures show how uneven and fragile the construction industry remains."
Private nonresidential spending declined 24.6 percent since April 2009, and the only sector to experience an increase since last year was the power sector, which saw a 1.4 percent rise in spending from $77 billion in April 2009 to $78 billion in April 2010. Spending increased over the month in communication (7.3 percent to $18 billion), manufacturing (2.7 percent to $57 billion) and power (5.2 percent).
"Assuming the economy continues to expand, privately-funded construction should experience a rebound starting in 2011," Simonson says. "But for now stimulus funding remains the main source of support for nonresidential contractors."

Nabeel Qureshi is an unlikely Christian. Besides growing to adulthood as a devout Muslim, you could say he was a Muslim of Muslims, having descended from one of Muhammad's chief Sunni successors.
Yet while a devout Muslim he found Jesus, and he tells the fascinating story in his new book Seeking Allah Finding Jesus. Qureshi's story of finding Jesus serves as a powerful guide for Christians, to help them better understand Islam and the people of that faith.
On this Good Friday, in anticipation of Resurrection Sunday, I want to share an important section that calls out the crux of the matter for Muslims and Christians alike: The cross and resurrection.
Qureshi shares two compelling ideas: first, the cross is "a litmus test between Islam and Christianity," (146) and secondly, "the only thing Christianity has over Islam is the resurrection." (167)

Denali Park Road Opens to Teklanika River
Contact: Kris Fister, (907) 683-9583
Favorable weather and some extra effort by road crews to clear drifts from last weekend's snowstorm are making it possible for the National Park Service to open the park road further west. Park visitors will be able to drive as far as the Teklanika River Rest Area at Mile 30 beginning at 8:00 am on Saturday, April 14, weather permitting.
Did You Know?
Warmer temperatures have led to dramatic thawing of permafrost. Thaw releases carbon, as once-frozen materials decompose, but allows increased plant growth. Researchers in Denali are studying whether thawing permafrost will increase or decrease world-wide carbon emissions.

:: Home > General News > Austrias bearded lady battles against Armenian Eurovision Rival
© Conchita Wurst
27. 03. 14. - 13:00
27. 03. 14. - 13:00
A war of words has broken out between Austria's bearded lady entry for the Eurovision Song Contest and an Armenian singer after he described her as "abnormal" and "unsuitable to take part in the event".
UK comedian Russell Brand had earlier described Conchita Wurst as his double while on a recent visit to the Austrian capital Vienna, tweeting a picture of her in local media and saying: "Look, I am already on the front page."
But Conchita failed to impress Aram Sargsyan, 29, better known by his stage name Aram Mp3, who is set to open the semifinals at the the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 in Copenhagen, Denmark, where he will represent Armenia. In an interview he made it clear that he was not impressed with having to share the stage with Austrian drag queen Thomas Neuwirth, who is performing under the stage name Conchita Wurst.
He called her lifestyle 'not normal' and 'not adequate' and that competing in a contest with her 'will be difficult'. And he advised her to take some time to decide whether she was really a man or woman. He then broadened his criticism to include the gay community generally, who he tries to avoid. He said: "When I pass through Kom aygi [a gay district in the Armenian capital Yerevan] I speed up my car."
He added however that he would be unable to avoid the song contest and therefore added: "In this case, I will try to somehow put up with it. I do not live such a life, and regardless how the world has progressed or regressed, this is an unacceptable subject matter for me."
Neuwirth, 25, graduated from the Graz School of Fashion in 2011 and worked as a shop window decorator before reinventing himself as Conchita Wurst after taking part in the Starmania talent show.
When told about the comments she said: "I guess that means he doesn't want to marry me."
She then added with a wink: "It seems as if Aram wants me to be a woman, but I can say this to you Aram my dear, I am a working woman and an incredibly lazy young man in my free time and that is not going to change. If you have problems understanding that, then I would be happy to sit down with you and explain it to you in more detail. And with your homophobic comments, that is a conversation that we really need to speak about."

A great route that combines lots of burl and reach with a bit o' technique. Start under the roof and climb out on decent holds, then onto the face on some crimps. Get yourself established and make a big move to the left to a small rail. From there the moves get easier, pinch a cool quarts nob and top out.

BIC Widebody Ice Pens
ABC car dealership sells cars for one of the "Big 3″ automakers. The dealership is required to submit a minimum number of completed surveys from customers that buy cars and utilize their maintenance garage. These surveys are important to ABC because they determine standing within the organization and can affect rebates that are critical to the bottom line. The problem was that only 15% of customers were filling out the surveys and returning them. Plus, it was suspected that a disproportionate number of that 15% were from customers having bad experiences. So, the challenge was to increase survey response and the overall rating ABC turned to its corporate office for help. ABC wanted something with impact that was also cost effective, and something its customers would keep. A BIC sales rep thought of the BIC Widebody Retractable Ice Pen. This pen had a huge imprint area which would fit the company's logo, website, phone number, and a message that read "Complimentary Survey Pen." The new program launched in July 2003 and ABC just reported that giving out the pen has doubled their response rate.
Pens are given out with the survey, which makes the result even more intriguing.
The 3rd quarter response rate more than doubled to 32%! More importantly, the dealership's overall rating based on the returned surveys tripled!
Who is the Quality Logo Products Admin? Why is he or she so mysterious? And what makes that brain tick? These are all questions that will be answered in due time, my pretties...keep reading the QLP Blog and you'll never go hungry for information again!

AT&T to launch stolen device blocking system July 10
AT&T will launch a new service for reporting and blocking stolen devices on July 10, according to a new report. Citing a trusted source, The Verge reports that the service will let customers deny voice, data, and SMS access to any individual device while keeping their account intact. According to an internal message sent to AT&T customer service representatives, the company will compile a "blocklist" of stolen devices, which will be used to automatically suspend service if an attempt is made to use a device on the list. Customers will need to contact customer service directly to add their device to the list, and will also be asked to activate any remote wipe features of their devices beforehand so as to "prevent access to their personal information."

This review is from: Great Fortune: The Epic of Rockefeller Center (Paperback)
I picked up this book for touristy reasons while in the Rockefeller Center, but it surprised me by how compelling it Is. Amazingly well researched but written with the fluid, easy to read style of a novel, this is more than a look at the (incredibly complex) process of building the Rockefeller Center, it is an incisive look at the shaping of modern New York.
In giving us the story of how this landmark came to be, the book looks at the politics, economics and personalities that made New York what it is, and throws up some utterly fascinating facts in the process. I'd recommend this to anyone who ever looked up and marvelled at the New York skyline.

Training Tips - Your Questions Answered
July 2014
Dear Amy:
My family has Jack Russell Terriers, and I was wondering how we can best control their barking. They seem to bark at everything! Shadows, leaves, birds, etc. What are the best ways to help control this?
Amy Peterson: Oh the joys of owning a high energy terrier! Dogs bark for a variety of reasons; boredom, alerting to an intruder (even if it is just a neighborhood cat or song bird), for attention, excitement and genetic predisposition (think beagle) are some of the most common reasons. Your dogs are probably barking for a combination of reasons. The first step is to find alternate activities for them to do, this will help them burn off some of their excess energy which will reduce boredom. Food puzzle toys, dog sports, training, hiking and swimming are all great activities to keep your terriers busy and out of trouble.
Some of the barking is likely alert barking and excitement/arousal barking. They are terriers after all and there isn't much that doesn't get a terrier excited. Contacting a qualified trainer is probably a good idea so they can get you on a training plan to address these issues. To put an immediate stop you might consider using a citronella bark collar. The collar emits a harmless spray of citronella whenever the dog barks. Many dogs dislike the citronella so they cease to bark when they are wearing the collar.

Dear Amy,
I recently adopted a very active pit-bull mix and want to find activities and/or events for her that she will enjoy doing and will keep her happy and exercised. How do I go about finding something that she enjoys doing, and how do I work with her to learn how we can work together in this activity?
Amy Peterson: Congratulations on your new addition! Bringing a new dog into your home is always exciting but does require some work on your part so things run smoothly. Finding an outlet for your high-energy dog is a great way to prevent many common behavior problems. There are so many different activities that dogs can participate in, even mixed breed dogs. Dock jumping, nosework, agility, obedience, rally, weight pull and lure coursing are all activities your dog may find enjoyable.
There are several resources you can use to find dog events in your area. My first suggestion would be to call local trainers and find out if any of them have experience with dog sports. They may be able to point you to a club in your area or a trainer that specializes in each type of sport. You can also google the individual sports and find out if there are events in your area. I would suggest attending several different events so you can get a feel for what might best suit your dog and you. AKC and UKC trials are sometimes a good place to start as they will often have a variety of events all at the same location. Each organization has their own website where you can search for events in your area. Meetup.com is also another great resource for dog owners looking to meet up with other like-minded dog owners in their area. Often there will be organized hikes, play dates and training groups that you can check out and join.
Best of luck finding a sport or activity that fits your new companion!

Hi Gary,
I adopted a three year old Male neutered Dachshund last November. He is high energy and sweet to the bone. I've worked in Veterinary medicine for 10 years so I am familiar with the ups and downs of a new older pet in the house and I don't coddle him. But this dumbfounds me. Why does he urinate in the house on occasion right after I walk him with my other Doxie/chihuahua?
Thank you.
~ Aimée, Chicago
Dear Aimée,
Thanks so much for your question. I understand how this could be frustrating. The first thing I always address in situations like this is to make sure nothing is going on medically. Since you're a vet, I'm guessing you have already taken this into consideration.
As far as training, going to the bathroom in the house is a strict management situation. Don't let them do it! What is your routine when you get back from a walk? Is he allowed to roam free? Does he bolt in? What I would do when I got back to stop this is put him in a crate or on a bed sometimes people call this the "place" command. This will make it impossible for him to pee. I would also not leave him unsupervised in the house at all. Earning areas in the house is a gift not a necessity. Dogs need to earn trust in your space. Not chewing, destroying, or peeing on things is so important for peace in the house and cuts down on conflict in the relationship from telling them no all the time. When you can keep an eye on him let him be in the area you are in and build on time and amount of space. Before he's allowed to be out, first let him out to bathroom. Good luck, if you need further help let me know and I can pass you on to a trainer your area. Thanks again.

March 2014
Dear Gary,
I have a Maltese mix, that is almost 5 years old, who exhibits a terrible amount of territorialism when he is in our yard. Our yard is fully fenced in and yet he races up and down the fence barking ferociously at people and dogs who walk along our front yard sidewalk. This is extremely annoying (not to mention noisy) and I have tried everything to break his apparent focus on protecting our home and property from people and dogs who pass by. Sometimes he gets so riled up, he will attack our other dog (a very sweet Bichon/Coton mix) when he is in this frenzy.
My wife and I love this dog. He is sweet and lovable to us overall and is indoors unless he is on a walk or going to the bathroom. Any suggestions or guidance?
~ Gary
Dear Gary,
Thank you for your question. This is a very common problem. A lot of dogs who get excited behind barriers, fences, on leash, in crates, etc. start to display these kind of unwanted behaviors from repeated inability to interact with whatever is outside their reach, which builds up time after time and starts to display in unwanted behaviors like barking and fence chasing.
An important solution to this is exercise and mental stimulation and some structure around the house. My first question is how much exercise is your dog getting? Walking? Training? What is your dog's life like? Running in the backyard is not sufficient enough. Your dog needs to get out and interact with the world. Also, how is your dog's recall? A solid recall taught well should be able to overcome all distractions. This is a gradual process taught in steps.
I will be posting some videos about the recall to help people with this life saving skill. For now I would keep him from practicing this behavior by taking him out on a leash to go to the bathroom or let him out when you know your neighbor is not home. Be diligent! Then periodically take him out when the other dog is out and just sit and relax at a distance that does not get him agitated. You have to show your dog how you want him to behave.
A lot of people focus on what they don't want but need to focus on what they do want. If it is possible to make a play yard in a different part of the yard where they can't see everything happening that can help as well. Another video that will help will be the one on our place command (coming soon!), which will give your dog a rock solid place to hang out … on his bed.
Please keep us posted on your progress and thank you for your question!

"What are the most important things you need when beginning training with your dog?"
Great and very common question. First thing's first - instead of using the term "dog training," focus on "leading your dog." Dog Training is a blanket statement and there are too many variations of training a dog to boil it down into one definition. For example, human-centered dog training typically includes commands such as sit, come, heel, lay down, etc. This part of training is like going to Harvard. You learn these practical applications, but they don't make you a stable person or help you reach the depths you need.
Dog psychology-centered training (often called behavior work or canine psychology) includes eye contact, owning your intentions, body language, spacial pressure, owning your emotions as a handler, and understanding different thresholds. This is the deep work you need to do to have a healthy and balanced dog.
If your furry friend is displaying behavior that you don't enjoy (and that behavior persists), look at where you are and where you want to be, realistically. In the middle of that is determining a better communication system with your pup, the tools that can help you become more successful, how to control space, etc. Your goal is to create less conflict and stress in your relationship and achieve more peace, harmony, success, and growth.
I would suggest learning about and learning to understand the mind of your animal, or any animal your dealing with. Realize why your dog is excited, feeling insecure, anxious or a number of other behaviors is important before determining what you need to fix the problem. Where are they coming from? Poor behavior is a symptom, not the problem.
We will dive into these topics more intensely in months to come. Your dogs appreciate your education, so keep it up!

This is the story of two very different American presidents and how they each answered their emergency Libyan phone calls.
The 14th Regiment Armory was built for the National Guard (née New York militia) in 1893. The massive Brooklyn structure was supposed to mimic the castles of Europe - brick towers and fortifications of previous centuries. Now a YMCA, the Armory today is a shelter (filled to capacity) with nursing home evacuees from Hurricane Sandy. The metaphor: What was built originally to protect us, has to be repurposed for a new type of foe.
TV is about to begin an annual event of honoring our nation's veterans and – with approximately 900 World War II veterans dying each day – it can't come a moment too soon.

HOLLYWOOD--God bless America, and how's everybody?
Everyone expected a big wind towards the end of October. But it was expected it'd be from the media, talk show hosts, blogosphere and politicians, building in a crescendo that'd end on Election Day. That wind did arrive – in gale force -- but what no one expected was that Mother Nature would also chime in by sending her offspring Hurricane Sandy.
In July, Sen. Al Franken opened a Senate hearing on the privacy and civil liberties implications of facial recognition technology by affirming some incontrovertible facts. "You can change your password. You can get a new credit card. But you can't change your fingerprint, and you can't change your face," Franken said. "Unless I guess you go to a great, you know, deal of trouble."
America used to have the most democratic elections in the world. It doesn't anymore. Antiquated technology, along with the failure to clean dirty voter rolls of dead and moved voters, plus gridlock blocking efforts to fix the problems have left our system in shambles.

Someone once said, history repeats itself because no one was listening the first time. All one needs to do is look at the ever-widening ideological divide and partisan bickering going on in America to understand Americans are slow learners. And, unless a Lincolnesque figure rises to the occasion, America is headed for another Civil War sans the bloodshed.
"Support your team, even when it loses. A true fan sticks with their team through good times and bad. It's a sad sight to see the bleachers empty at a stadium 10 minutes before a game is over just because the home team is losing. Stick around until the end and root your team off the field."
The US government's decision to apply more sanctions on Russia is a grave mistake and will only escalate an already tense situation, ultimately harming the US economy itself. While the effect of sanctions on the dollar may not be appreciated in the short term, in the long run these sanctions are just another step toward the dollar's eventual demise as the world's reserve currency.
Happy Tuesday, everybody, and God Bless America.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan carries on the tradition of inviting media on his birthday this year too. He turns 48 Saturday, and has planned a sit-down gathering with jounalists at his home.
Shah Rukh stays with his family at his palatial bungalow, Mannat, located at Bandstand in Bandra here.
"I feel very weird when people celebrate my birthday with great enthusiasm every year. So, you all (reporters) are invited. Come to my home. We will sit down, have cold drinks and chat and all," Shah Rukh said here Wednesday at the launch of a jewellery lounge by Lista Jewels.
Meanwhile, the actor, who was last seen in Rohit Shetty's "Chennai Express", is busy shooting for Farah Khan's "Happy New Year".
Slated to release next year, the film also features Deepika Padukone, Boman Irani and Sonu Sood.

I didn't ever do this because I was trying to become someone else. I was just doing something I really loved. It took me 20 years to get where I am today. I think with integrity, hard work, authenticity, and doing it because you enjoy the doing instead of trying to seek rewards, I think that's when the rewards come to you.

BHAHAHA ! Love it !
If Geek Girls Acted like Geek Guys —-> http://ow.ly/ALlHe
Some possible pages for the book. I say possible because right now, I'm unsure how the book will flow so definitely there'll be extra pages that won't make it in. The pages below are from SakuraCon, Anime Expo, Rose City Comic Con, C2E2, DragonCon, San Diego Comic Con and Phoenix Comic Con.
I've also decided that since I'll be at #NYCC, that I should photograph some scenes there (makes sense since I did shot at #SDCC). I'm also heading to Europe for a few weeks - long story short, got tickets to Europe for $300 about 6 months ago - thought I might as well go travel and visit cosplayers - so check out my event listing on my FB page for list of dates - Milan, Prague, Amsterdam, Tokyo, Honolulu.
Right now my plan is to get the book out to the world before Katsucon 2015.
ALSO : people have been asking when I expect to have new shipment of the first volume and unfortunately I do not plan to have that reprinted since my energy is going to the second book currently.
LOL ! #DragonCon Food Pyramid !
On the serious tip, make sure to eat and sleep - I know it is an awesome con but don't bring them your defenses making it easy for con crud to come by and hang out cuz that ain't fun.
5-2-1 FIVE HOURS of sleep - Look 4 am to 9 am is 5 hours - you can get up right in time for noon, TWO MEALS a day - try to eat fruit - have banana and apples in your room and at least ONE SHOWER.
Have fun everyone ! I'm heading to Vegas for a wedding and to see my sister and her kids (Love it when they say in their little kid voice UWNCLE )
Cosplaying With Gender | Stuff Mom Never Told You: Podcasts
Hosted by Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin, Stuff Mom Never Told You is the audio podcast from Discovery and HowStuffWorks that gets down to the business of being women from every imaginable angle.
As cosplay has become more popular outside of Japan in recent years, it has raised fascinating questions about gender, sexuality and authenticity in fandom and the fictional realms cosplay strives to mirror. Just in time for con season, Cristen and Caroline share how there's far more to cosplay than dressing up.
Listen to the podcast.

Congrats to Detailed Mess for being selected as Canada's #WCS2015 team !
Earlier this year, WCS announced Canada and Sweden will be joining the annual event.
"As observer nations Canada and Sweden will be able to meet up with the other cosplay representatives from around the world and participate in the event to a limited extent", stated Ed Hoff, an organizer for the WCS in Japan. "We are really excited that these 2 countries with such strong cosplay communities will finally be sending representatives to the WCS and we look forward to them becoming full competing members in the near future."
This past weekend at Otakuthon in Montreal, Detailed-Illusion Cosplay & Miss Messy Mia (Detailed Mess) won the chance the represent Canada at the World Cosplay Summit in 2015.

Is Cosplay a Form of Theatre?
From PBS IdealChannel
COMICON SEASON IS UPON US!! Tens of thousands of fans will fill convention centers, stand in endless lines, and many will even dress up as their favorite fictional characters (aka Cosplay). Why, you might ask, do people cosplay? Well, they cosplay to celebrate a character, to make an awesome costume, to BE awesome, and for some, maybe even to BECOME the character. This embodiment of a character is essentially a performance, so does that make cosplay theater?! Can theater exist without directors, scripts, or even a stage??!! Watch the episode and find out!

The Stahlmans/Stallmans in Pennsylvania have a common ancestor in John Stahlman, 1758-1823, a revolutionary war veteran. He had eleven children (six sons, five daughters) and owned a mill, etc. near what is now Hegins, PA in Schuylkill County. Five of the sons migrated to Clarion County. The eldest son, Solomon, moved to Huntington and Fulton Co. in PA. Solomon's branch seems to spell the name Stallman. Other early Stahlmans I have heard of include Melchior, immigrated 1741; Jacob, immigrated 1751 (I think the father of John); and William, in the Chestnut Hill area of Philadelphia. The WV Stahlmans have 1750-ish birthdates also, but I don't have a link for them.

First of all - thank you for a very complete reply! And all the help. I've run both the GUI and command line of tcpview, and from several locations. I've watched the connection go from WAIT to ESTABLISHED, then dissappear, then return later. When I right click on the connection in tcpview I always get an error that states it cannot query PROC ID 0. The only Google app I have installed (that I'm aware of) is Google Earth, and that was installed about 3 years ago - this is a relatively new issue. I have some technical background - and this one has me stumped right now. Also - no third party firewall??? What is the indication for that??thanks again!greg
If Google Earth is truly the only Google app that is running on your PC, then Google Earth is a likely source of the connection to qw-in-f113.1e100.net.That connection is certainly to a Google server as verified by nslookup, whois and by simply putting http://qw-in-f113.1e100.net into a browser address bar.

Apply Wax Finish and Buff
First, wipe painted surface with a cloth to remove all dust created when distressing then apply a thin coat of soft furniture wax with a wax brush, bushy paintbrush or cotton cloth (Image 1). Work wax into the painted finish like you would a lotion into your skin. If the nightstand's top was stained, apply wax to the top as well. Allow wax to dry for the appropriate amount of time according to manufacturer's instructions, then buff with a soft cloth (Image 2). For additional shine, apply a second coat of wax and buff again.

The following is an excerpt from the new Men's Health book, The Athlete's Book of Home Remedies. In it, you'll find hundreds of doctor-approved health fixes and injury-prevention tips. Click here to pick up a copy today!
Foam-Roll Exercises
Foam rolling is in many ways like a deep massage—but you give it to yourself. By rolling the hard foam over your thighs, calves, and back, you'll loosen tough connective tissue (like the fascia, which stretches over many of your muscles and can tighten up) and decrease the stiffness of your muscles. The result? Better flexibility and mobility, and muscles that can function properly. I recommend foam rolling before any workout, but in reality, you can do it anytime. The easiest time is to pull out the foam roller while you're watching TV.
If you've never foam-rolled before, be prepared. It's uncomfortable and
can even be painful when you start. Don't worry—the more painful it is, the more that muscle needs foam rolling. The good news is that the more you do it, the less discomfort you'll feel. For each muscle that you work, slowly move the roller back and forth over it for 30 seconds.
If you hit a really tender spot, pause on it for 5 to 10 seconds. Definitely focus on the muscles that need rolling the most. You'll know which ones they are just by trying it. You'll find 36-inch foam rollers at most sports or fitness shops, but in a pinch you can also use a basketball, tennis ball, or even a length of PVC pipe.
Place a foam roller under your right knee, with your leg straight. Cross your left leg over your right ankle. Put your hands flat on the floor for support. Keep your back naturally arched.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches your glutes. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left knee. NOTE: If rolling one leg is too difficult, perform the movement with both legs on the roller.
Sit on a foam roller with it positioned on the back of your right thigh, just below your glutes. Cross your right leg over the front of your left thigh. Put your hands flat on the floor for support.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches your lower back. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left glute.
Lie on your right side and place your right hip on a foam roller. Put your hands on the floor for support. Cross your left leg over your right and place your left foot flat on the floor.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches your knee. Then roll back and forth. Lie on your left side and repeat with the roller under your left hip. If this becomes too easy over time, place your right leg on top of your left instead of bracing it on the floor).
Important Note: Your iliotibial band— commonly called the IT band—is a tough strip of connective tissue that runs down the side of your thigh, starting on your hip bone and connecting just below your knee. When you start foam rolling, you'll probably find that this tissue is one of the most sensitive areas that you can roll over, perhaps due to the high tension of the band. Remember, pain means you need to roll it. Make this a priority, because over time, if your IT band is too tight, it could cause knee pain.
Place a foam roller under your right ankle, with your right leg straight. Cross your left leg over your right ankle. Put your hands flat on the floor for support and keep your back naturally arched.
Roll your body forward until the roller reaches the back of your right knee. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left calf. (If this is too hard, perform the movement with both legs on the roller.)
Lie facedown on the floor with a foam roller positioned above your right knee. Cross your left leg over your right ankle and place your elbows on the floor for support.
Roll your body backward until the roller reaches the top of your right thigh. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left thigh. (If that's too hard, perform the movement with both thighs on the roller, as shown.)
Lie facedown on the floor. Place a foam roller parallel to your body. Put your elbows on the floor for support. Position your right thigh nearly perpendicular to your body, with the inner portion of your thigh, just above the level of your knee, resting on top of the roller.
Roll your body toward the right until the roller reaches your pelvis. Then roll back and forth. Repeat with the roller under your left thigh.
Lie faceup with a foam roller under your upper back, at the tops of your shoulder blades. Cross your arms over your chest. Your knees should be bent with your feet flat on the floor.
Raise your hips so they're slightly elevated off the floor. Roll back and forth over your shoulder blades and your mid- and upper back.

Empirical Assessment of the quantity-quality tradeoff for the Ogallala: A case study from West Texas
AbstractThe High Plains region in West Texas has been the focus of water conservation policies for the last two decades because of rapid depletion of groundwater in this region. Groundwater is the only source of irrigation in this region of Texas with Ogallala serving as the major aquifer. In recent times, however, attent ion has been drawn on nitrate pollution of the Ogallala aquifer, though no study or research report has come up with a joint management solution to cope with both of these problems. This research attempts to fill this gap, taking the rural county of Castro as a case study. The main objective is to make an empirical assessment of this tradeoff by capturing the dynamic behavior of the stock of groundwater as well as the stock of pollutant over a twenty year period. Two sets of policies are developed to control the impact of excess fertilizer use on the groundwater and to evaluate the effect on the net present value of production. First a constraint is imposed on the use of nitrogen fertilizer per acre; second, the price of nitrogen fertilizer is raised successively by 5% and 10%. Secondly, certain policies aimed at raising the volume of water in storage such as restricting the use of irrigation water by around 0.50 acre-inch per acre from the base solution as well as buying out water rights also show positive results in terms of water quantity and quality. Restriction on the terminal value of saturated thickness (or the water table) as well as buying out water rights show a 7 and 4 mg/l increase in the stock of pollutant with a saturated thickness decline by 6 feet less than the base level.
