Writing Effective Dialogue: Part 6, Accents and Dialect
August 20th, 2014 | The Writing Craft, Uncategorized | 5 Comments
Today's post is dedicated to Lois Gladys Leppard, author of the Mandie books. If you weren't a preteen girl in the 90s, you may not be familiar with the Mandie books, but they were a middle-grade series set at the turn of the century about a teenage girl living in North Carolina, and their chief charm, if I remember correctly, was that Mandie was rich and there were a lot of descriptions of her dresses. Yeah, they weren't the deepest literature, but I DEVOURED them as an 8-or-9-year-old. Twenty years later, I couldn't tell you much about what happened in the series (other than what her dress looked like for President McKinley's inaugural ball), but one thing about the writing has stuck with me all this time.
The series is set in North Carolina, and various characters (the servants, in particular) were written as speaking with a strong southern accent. The way you knew they spoke with a strong southern accent was that practically EVERY line of dialogue spoken by those characters had the accent written into it phonetically, to the point that you sometimes had to sound it out to figure out what Liza was saying. "Yous sho' did, Missy Manda! Now don't yous go gittin' that dirty, you heah?" This is a made-up line, but it's representative of the way the "strong southern accent" was written into the dialogue. Did it clearly communicate the speech patterns/pronunciation of those characters? Mmmmyes, but was it also distracting and clunky? Also yes. I'm probably remembering the extreme examples, but the point is, if that method of conveying an accent/regional speech style was conspicuous enough that I picked up on it as a 9-year-old and remember it 20 years later, it was probably a bit overdone.
Now, Ms. Leppard is off the hook, both because in writing for children she probably felt she needed to be a bit more obvious than if she were writing for adults who had a better idea what a southern accent sounded like, and because Mandie's clothes were pretty, but I've read too many manuscripts were the author didn't have Ms. Leppard's excuses and in which an overdone dialect or written-in accent completely overpowered what was actually being said in the dialogue. An author can convey a character's style of speaking or an accent without using every cliche specific to that regional dialect or writing out every word phonetically by keeping the following guidelines in mind:
- Use phonetic spellings sparingly. Ending just the occasional "-ing" word with an apostrophe will suffice to put that "darlin'" southern drawl in a reader's ear, and will ensure that the reader does most of the work of "translating" that character's speech into the right voice and accent.
- Use regional vocabulary sparingly. There's a big difference between how a British person actually talks and the American idea of how we THINK he talks– I once read a manuscript in which the dreamy main character from England spoke like the Monty Python caricature version of a British aristocrat– "What ho," "right-o," "spiffing," and "cheerio" were sprinkled liberally through his dialogue, and made it impossible to take him seriously as a romantic lead. Don't write in cliches; do your research, listen to or watch as much dialogue spoken by actual Irish or South African or Bostonian or New Jersey speakers as you can, and then let a few well-placed terms or words set the tone for the majority of the dialogue.
- Describe a speaker's style of speaking. Though it's certainly possible to overdo this one, it's perfectly legitimate to describe a speaker's voice or style of speaking a little when he or she is first introduced. If you tell the reader that a character spoke "with a curious lilt to some of her words, and he remembered that she had lived the first half of her life in Ireland," it lets the reader fill in this blank for himself without your messing with the spelling of any dialogue or throwing in conspicuous Irish slang just to make sure they know that this character's speech sounds a little different.
If you've written a character who speaks with an accent or in a regional dialect, make a point of asking your beta readers how well you conveyed that style of speaking, and whether they were ever distracted by phonetic spelling or obviously regional slang. And if you write for children, I hope your work will be enjoyed half as much as I enjoyed reading those Mandie books from 1992-1994, overdone accents notwithstanding. Thanks, Lois Gladys, for inspiring today's post, and for being my first "favorite author."
I think this will be the last post in my series on dialogue; if you have any lingering questions or issues you wish I'd address, please leave a comment and let me know– I'm happy to extend my farewell tour if it turns out there's more to say on the subject. Thanks for reading!

ClairMail makes mobile app access easy as e-mail
ClairAccess provides one-click remote entry into enterprise systems -- without recoding
Sure, it's possible to rewrite applications and user interfaces to run on smartphones or PDAs. Unfortunately, however, rewritten apps often result in click-heavy, unintuitive navigation and code that sucks up a mobile device's limited memory when your salespeople, service staff, and customers just want simple access to data.
That last point is something ClairMail understands -- and its ClairAccess 2.2 platform provides a clever solution. From any mobile device, users simply send an e-mail to a particular address with their query in the subject line. The ClairAccess appliance (a 1U Linux-based server) receives this request and runs a script that executes an action. This script accomplishes almost anything, from retrieving information from several back-office applications to updating a database record. Finally, a response is prepared with the requested information and returned to the mobile user.
This is a good approach for several reasons. Users don't need to load software on their mobile devices, and the IT staff isn't burdened with onerous reworking of desktop applications to shoehorn them into mobile devices.
I found that ClairAccess succeeds where more complex mobile application access methods have generally failed. In my testing, I used the company's hosted service to gather data from, and update, a Salesforce.com account. I also used the service with a Palm Treo 600 and HP iPAQ 6315 Pocket PC to search Google and interact with other public services. Moreover, I crawled under the system to inspect its technology and security.
Request and Retrieval
For end-users, ClairAccess' hosted service requires little setup and no training. Requests for information (called ClairActions) are nothing more than descriptive e-mail references placed in your address book. For example, I sent an e-mail to "cmSFAccountInfo" along with a client name in the subject field. The ClairMail server retrieved the client data from Salesforce.com and responded almost instantly with the account details in its e-mail reply. To test more elaborate interaction, I entered text in the message body to log my meeting note, then sent it off; the details were saved to the Salesforce.com system without any problem.
The same general scenario works for retrieving information from other ClairMail partner sites, including Hoovers and Dow Jones VentureSource (separate subscriptions required). ClairMail also maintains strategic partnerships with Caneum, HP, Seven, and RIM.
As an alternative to the hosted service, organizations can place ClairAccess appliances on premises, providing a mobile gateway to enterprise systems. ClairMail offers prebuilt scripts (Clair Productivity Packs) for accessing 20 popular enterprise applications, including Siebel, SAP, and BMC Software's Remedy Help Desk. ClairMail's staff implements the scripts to connect your systems to ClairMail, a process that typically takes a few days to a week. In both hosted and in-house solutions, your organization's administrators have basic access to the system to maintain user accounts and view logs for troubleshooting.

Reported by
Lynette Whiteman
When a doglover gets to an age when she can't care for a dog anymore, it can be a huge loss.
Since 2009, Simon, a Golden Retriever and his owner, Pat, have been visiting Alice — who is 94 years old and legally blind — in her home near Toms River.
For years, Alice enjoyed the companionship of a dog. Now because of health problems, she cannot. So every week she looks forward to her visits with Pat and Simon, who are part of the Caregiver Canines program.
Our volunteers — human and canine — visit the elderly and those with Alzheimer's disease.
Lynette Whiteman is Executive Director of Caregiver Volunteers of Central Jersey. She listens to WNYC.

While he acknowledges that this could mean smaller margins for some vendors, Davis says a drop in revenue may be inevitable for some. However, changes in pricing structure could make for a much brighter future than an outright loss of customers.
"I think what it means is it will just be a valley, not a cliff, for those companies, Davis says. "If we talk about a fiscal cliff, it might end up being a fiscal valley for a lot of the vendors."
IT training and the workforce
Sequestration could put funding for federal IT training and educational programs at risk. For an IT industry that's currently suffering from a skills gap in its workforce, Whitman says sequestration could make it more difficult for companies that are hiring to find adequate candidates.
"One of the big things was the skills gap, where there were hundreds of thousands of IT jobs open but they were not filling those IT jobs because there weren't people with the proper training," Whitman says. "I think with the sequestration and the decrease in education funding or training funding, I think that's another important aspect of the problems of sequestration for the IT industry."
Statistics from Indeed.com show more than 227,000 unfilled jobs in information technology, putting the industry third on the list behind healthcare and retail. And that figure may not accurately reflect the full economic impact of IT training on the U.S. workforce.
"For example, the health IT technician at a hospital, the graphic designer for a communications firm, or a data analyst at a financial services company all require an IT background, because their jobs are grounded in technological know-how," a 2011 CompTIA report on the IT job market reads.
At the time of the report, CompTIA estimated that IT skills account for approximately 5 million jobs in the U.S.
In addition to the public high school, community college and university IT courses funded by the government, sequestration puts programs for military service members at risk, CompTIA director of corporate communications Steven Ostrowski says. The White House estimates that more than 1 million armed forces personnel will transition out of the military by 2016, most of whom "are going to enter the workforce looking for work," Ostrowski says.
"There is a need for training upfront," he says. "You might know how to turn on a computer and send an email, but there's a lot more that goes into that before you can jump in and start working in the industry."

Jeffcoat aims to breathe new life into local grocery
With more than three and a half decades of grocery industry experience, James Jeffcoat has learned a lot about customers and the things that make them tick.
Even more importantly, he realizes the importance of fair pricing and good service.
"We have a 10 foot rule in our store," explains Jeffcoat, owner-operator of Jeffcoat's Family Market–located on Main Street in the former site of Chandler's Fresh Market. "If a customer comes within 10 feet of you, you speak to them."

[[caption-width-right:256:''Film/CheerleaderCamp'' reunion?]]
A 1987 {{Horror}} film that's tremendously self-aware and... really pretty bad. But it was Creator/GeorgeClooney's film debut as well as [[Series/{{Alice1976}} Philip McKeon]]'s film debut.
A series of murders happened at Crippen High School in 1982 with the killer never caught. Years later, Harry Sleerik, sleazy movie producer, has decided to film a horror movie at the sight of the school. Then, the actors start disappearing... Is it the sole survivor of the original massacre who's returned as the film's screenwriter? The principal of the school who insists on playing the same role in the movie? The creepy school janitor? The former high school jock playing the leading man?
!!This film exhibits the following tropes:
* DramaticUnmask
* DreamWithinADream: Or better, dream within a movie (within the "real" movie).
* TheEndOrIsIt: After the final bit of end credits, there's the [[spoiler:squeaky sound of the janitor's mop bucket]].
* KarmicDeath: The biology teacher gets dissected.
* MindScrew
* NightmareFetishist: The female cop has a '''thing''' for blood.
* OffWithHisHead
* PoliceAreUseless: At figuring out just what the hell happened. Then again, so were the viewers.
* PolishTheTurd: The screenwriter for the film says this, word by word, about the screenplay.
* SpiritualSuccessor: ''Film/{{Scream 1996}}'' can be considered one to this film, despite it being a B-list movie. It is about the dramatization of "actual" events, with the director demanding more blood and FanService, lines about getting naked in horror films being degrading to an actress... As the description says, it's very self-aware despite (or because of) not being very good. Oh, and the killer's costume looks ''very'' similar to Ghostface.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: The killer.

Alfred Hitchcock Movie Art by Laurent Durieux
Here are three incredible Alfred Hitchcock posters created by Laurent Durieux. They will be on display at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas. The movies represented are three of my all time favorites: Vertigo, The Birds, and Rear Window. If for some reason you haven't seen any of these movies yet, you need to.

There is a lot of concern these days about invasive species. And rightly so. There seem to be thousands of species out there in the world just waiting to invade. And it's not just nuisance aquatic species like Didymosphenia geminata (a.k.a. "rock snot," or didymo for short) and Myriophyllum spicatum (Eurasian milfoil) that are causing trouble in the neighborhood.

Is it too late in the season to plant vegetables?
Absolutely not! You should still be able to find transplants of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, melons, squashes and herbs at the local nurseries and farmers' market. Set those out soon however, and hope for a late frost! If you haven't gotten around to planting potatoes yet, now is as good a time as any. Several years back my neighbor Ross Sunderland planted a few rows of red potatoes on the Fourth of July that yielded beautifully by summer's end.
This week in our gardens we're picking:
Fava beans
Herbs of all sorts
Greens of all sorts
Garlic scapes
Edible flowers (nasturtium, squash, viola, lavender, chamomile)
Today's issue of the Addison County Independent is now available online, at a newsstand near you, or by print or online subscription. Be sure to pick up today's paper to read more:
MIDDLEBURY — With nomination petitions due this week, relatively few candidate petitions had been filed with district town clerks or Addison County Superior Court as the Addison Independent went to press on Friday.
But at least one local Vermont House district was shaping up as a fierce election battleground: Addison-4, the two-seat district that includes Bristol, Starksboro, Monkton and Lincoln.
MIDDLEBURY — Forest Dale native Jason Gibbs has moved steadily up the state's political ladder since graduating from Otter Valley Union High School in 1994.
The past decade saw him serve as Gov. James Douglas's spokesman for six years before being named commissioner of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation (FPR) in 2008. After serving an eventful 19-month stint as commissioner, Gibbs now hopes to climb another rung on the political ladder. He is in the midst in his first statewide campaign, competing for the post of Vermont Secretary of State.
VERGENNES — Four longtime Addison Northwest Supervisory Union employees are stepping down this spring, including a Vergennes Union High School teacher and an ANwSU administrative assistant with a combined 69 years of service.
VUHS English and reading teacher Cathy Spaulding will retire after 35 years at VUHS and a year at the ANwSU office, while ANwSU administrative assistant Sally Bushey will leave after working in the office since 1977.
BRANDON — After a collective 78 years at Otter Valley Union High School, three teachers have announced their retirements at the end of this school year.
Bruce Douglas, who has taught science at the school for 32 years, Christine Brown, a math and science teacher at the middle school for 29 years, and Doug Werner, a career services teacher for 17 years, will all be saying their final farewells to the school when it closes its doors for the summer.

As the super-otter aircraft climbs through the clouds, the energy in the plane is palpable. First-time skydivers and veterans of the sport, all giddy for the oncoming rush of wind and velocity, ready themselves for their leap into the vast blue yonder waiting just outside the plane's door. For the skilled staff of Triangle Skydiving Center, that feeling is the reason they come to work every morning. Whether they're plunging themselves and a harnessed patron through midair at 13,500 feet or selling high-quality parachute equipment in the gear store, they're dedicated to helping customers find that thrill that previously was only attained by shrinking the kids and living vicariously through them as they spelunk from picnic tables.
In 1995, a group of families with children struck by CDH came together to form Cherubs, an organization designed to provide support and information to those touched by the condition. CDH, or congenital diaphragmatic hernia, is a rare condition that causes a malformation in a gestating fetus's diaphragm. The diaphragm either forms with holes or doesn't form at all, allowing the abdominal organs into the chest cavity and hindering the growth of the lungs. Roughly 50% of babies born with this heartbreaking condition don't survive, and those who do survive suffer from numerous and costly medical issues. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Cherubs helps families—more than 4,300 across the world, at current count—understand and persevere through the issues of CDH, while supporting efforts to find the cause and develop treatments for the condition.
One of the ways they achieve this is through their annual Masquerading Angels Ball, a formal event punctuated by elegant masks, live music, and plenty of libations. There, tuxedoed men and gowned women savor gourmet appetizers and cocktails from a cash bar as they play poker and blackjack at casino tables, all in an effort to fight a tragic children's medical condition.
A love for the water came naturally to Nicole Steele thanks to a childhood spent frolicking in it with her family. A love for teaching resulted from years of competitive gymnastics, where she pushed herself past self-imposed limits thanks to encouraging coaches. At PhoenixWake Academy, Nicole gets a chance to combine her passions as a wakeboarding instructor. Day camps, private and group lessons, and clinics help pupils grasp the basics of boating and wakeboarding or complete difficult tricks thanks to patient coaching from Nicole and two other experienced teachers.
Kidventurez is a blank canvas where children's ideas spring to life. As the mind behind the creative space, owner Stephanie Walker used her own experience as a mother to concoct the facility. "I really love the whole concept of kids using their minds to play," she told Midtown Raleigh News.
Inside, pintsized visitors hop across various stations that spur ingenuity, such as the performing stage, where they can put on plays for friends, and Kenzie's Kitchen, where they can practice burning fake popcorn in a fake microwave. Smaller children enjoy the freedom of Toddler Town's scaled-down attractions, and parents, similarly, enjoy the freedom of either sitting back and watching playtime unfold or leaving for a short respite.
The licensed and insured fishing guides from Outdoor Expeditions USA, LLC have cast countless lures into the waters of Jordan Lake and Harris Lake. Their target? Largemouth bass. They lead fishing trips in search of the popular game fish aboard their Triton 20HP Pro, which can seat two fisherman, one guide, and as many fish as the three can juggle.
Lissette Brandao has a wealth of national and international experience, including spending her college career at Rutgers, playing semi-professionally in the US, and playing internationally for the Portuguese Women's National Team. But she doesn't keep everything she's learned to herself. Instead, she teaches youngsters and high-schoolers the world's game, from basics to advanced, through team training, camps, and private lessons. To ensure she delivers the highest possible quality to the youth she teaches, she has certifications from organizations such as the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and the US Soccer Federation.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A 2,000-square-foot building burned down at a senior living facility in Rancho Bernardo early Tuesday but no one was hurt and no residential units were damaged, authorities said.
The fire at Casa de la Campanas at 18655 West Bernardo Drive erupted about 12:15 a.m. and was knocked down about a half-hour later, according to a San Diego fire-rescue dispatcher.
The building was located in the swimming pool area of the facility, he said. Its use was unclear.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.

I'm a primary school teacher and sports co-ordinator at a school in Wigston. I'm just gathering some data really.
Would any parents send their child to a 45minute football and phonics session? I would link the sounds to fun football activities and exercises. I want more children to be active and learn as they go. The sessions would be geared towards football activities with school objectives built in. I have permission to do this at my school at the weekends but I need to see if there's any interest in this sort of thing before I go a head with it. What do you think?

The Dark Shadows Of Neoprene In The Open Water World
That seems to be the standard question and assumption regarding attire worn by open water swimmers.
In discussions with marathon swimmers in California, there is an interesting clash of cultures. These swimmers who so proudly train year-round in the Pacific Ocean in order to build up their acclimatization to the cold water are frequently faced with neighbors, friends, family and co-workers who inaccurately assume they always wear wetsuits in the ocean.
Almost without exception, these swimmers face a general public and posse of friends and must explain that they enjoy the challenge of open water swimming sans neoprene.
An English Channel swimmer from San Diego describes her near daily run-ins with a disbelieving public, even as she emerges from La Jolla Cove during the winter. "In my experience with the general public, open water swimming equals wetsuit swimming every time. I was at a New Year's Eve party and sadly the host and hostess would tell everyone I swam the English Channel when introduced. Not one person at that party did not ask me the dreaded wetsuit question."
For her swim buddies who frequent La Jolla on a near daily basis, their personal experiences were all the same. Whether they had crossed the English Channel or simply swim for fitness, 100% of the swimmers are asked if they wear wetsuits whenever open water swimming is the topic of conversation.
A Catalina Channel swimmer was even more blunt when asked if she encountered inquiries about neoprene. "Yes. All the time. People just assume that I wear one of those wussie suits and are shocked when I tell them I don't. Even if they don't ask, I usually make a point to say I do all this stuff without a wetsuit. Usually my statement leads to a disbelieving stare and an incredulous gasp or two."
Two other California swimmers who have crossed the Strait of Gibraltar reiterated, "I am asked about wetsuits constantly. It's the first thing most people ask. Next would be sharks."
"Yes, we are asked all the time about wetsuits. People look at me as if I am a nut, but I explain that it is necessary for training and acclimation. When the water hits 60°F, it feels almost tropical."
Another marathon swimmer piped in, "Yes, the default presumption is that I always wear a wetsuit."
Whether it was swimmers in Southern California or Northern California, the assumptions about wearing wetsuits are the same, "I'd say outside the open water swimming community, 95% of the people who found out I did the English Channel asked their first question about wetsuits. 'I assume you wore a wetsuit, right?' Also, tons of those 95%ers were not new people in my life. My entire immediate family thought I was doing it in a wetsuit. They [only] found out otherwise when I showed them the pictures at Christmas, 4 months after my swim. Almost all of my university friends, co-workers, and friends back home asked about wetsuits."
With 1.9 million triathletes in America and many of them in California, it may not be surprising that the general public believes anyone who enters the oceans wear black wetsuits, but we asked American open water swimmers why they think the general public assumes open water swimmers wear wetsuits. These were the responses:
"I think most people associate cold with ocean swimming, so assume that swims of significant duration would take advantage of neoprene. The general population is not familiar with the existence of marathon swimming, much less it's traditions, something I believe some of us entrenched in the sport take for granted as common knowledge."
"Because most people probably believe the water is too cold for them, thus it is a wetsuit swim. They can't imagine it any other way. It would never enter their mind to swim in cold water without one."
"I'd guess it's an assumption that well over half of the general public makes when initially told about marathon swimming."
Wetsuits were popularized in America during the early 1990s. It may be that the sport of triathlon has shifted the perception of open water swimmers in the eyes of the general public. Says one veteran of channel swimming, "It's possible that triathlon has influenced the perception of open water swimmers, but it could just as well be the popularization of wetsuits, including widespread use of wetsuits among surfers, paddle boarders, divers, and spear fishermen."
"I believe all of the general public believes everyone wears wetsuits. When I speak of the channel swims I've swam I always hear, "You swim in a wetsuit, right?"
"The sport of triathlon has shifted the perception of open water swimmers in the eyes of the general public. The TV news reels of local sports, mostly triathlons, show the swimmers in wetsuits. The crowds are drawn to triathlons and so are the sponsor dollars. Wetsuits are worn by swimmers in the events usually seen most in the press. A channel swimmer in contrast, if [in the newspaper] at all, usually warrants a back page inch or two. Besides there is more money in triathlons for equipment allowing for sponsorship and PR. But not so much so for channel swimmers who can get by with a total equipment cost of US$100."
"Bioprene is beautiful."
"I like the way the water feels, cold or not, without the wetsuit and enjoy the challenge of pushing through the cold and going fast enough to stay warm. Some in my swim group wear wetsuits, including my wife when she swims with us. At this point, I don't ever plan on wearing neoprene and I have taken a stand for myself that I won't wear neoprene."
"It seems crazy to those who have not done so to swim in sub-60° water without one, so they can't imagine anyone would do it. San Diego has over a million people, yet some mornings in winter, I'm the first one in the water at the cove. People who live in the area or go to the cove see us in our Speedos and know we do that, yet, if not associated with us probably assume we are swimming a short distance."
"Of the people who ask me about my channel adventures, the majority say, "You wear a wetsuit, don't you?.' I suspect triathlon with far more people doing it than open water swimming probably has shaped the public view of ocean swimmers. I think people who participate in either sport (triathlon or open water distance swimming) realize the difference."
"I have always believed the general public assumes we were wetsuits because triathletes wear them and that is what the average person sees on TV. That combined with the fact that most people can't imagine swimming in water much colder than 80°F. I have seen swimmers in wetsuits in pool workouts because they were cold. I have heard these comments in America as well as when I have traveled to other countries."
When at home or traveling abroad, the question inevitably arises. "Invariably the topic of marathon swimming and training year round in the ocean comes up and the question of wetsuits eventually pops up. Seriously, it never ceases to amaze me how stunned people are that wetsuits are not allowed in our sport. I know for a fact I am not the only one who has experienced this amazement that wetsuits are not worn."

2014 Global Open Water Swimming Conference
Courtesy of WOWSA, Huntington Beach, California.
The Global Open Water Swimming Conference is a conference on the sport of open water swimming, marathon swimming and swimming during triathlons and multi-sport endurance events.
The conference which has been attended by enthusiasts and luminaries from 6 continents, is devoted to providing information about the latest trends, race tactics, training techniques, equipment, psychological preparation, race organization and safety practices used in the sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons.
The conference's mission is to provide opportunities to listen and meet many of the world's most foremost experts in open water swimming, and to meet and discuss the sport among swimmers, coaches, administrators, event organizers, sponsors, vendors, officials, escort pilots, and volunteers from kayakers to safety personnel.
Dozens of presentations at the 2014 Conference at the Mount Stuart House cover numerous aspects of the vast and growing world of open water swimming where attendees can learn and share the latest trends, race tactics, training modalities, swimming techniques, equipment, race organization, logistics, operations, and safety practices for open water swimming as a solo swimmer, competitive athlete, fitness swimmer, masters swimmer, triathlete, multi-sport athlete, administrator, race promoter, sponsor or referee.
The conference was first held in Long Beach, California as part of the 2010 USA Swimming National Open Water Swimming Championships. It has since been held on the Queen Mary in California, at Columbia University and the United Nations in New York City, and in Cork, Ireland. This year in September, it comes to another iconic location, the Mount Stuart House on the Isle of Bute in Scotland.
"The Global Open Water Swimming Conference was started due to the desire and need for athletes, coaches, referees, administrators, race directors, promoters and sponsors from around the world to share, collect and learn information about the growing sports of open water swimming, marathon swimming and triathlons," said founder Steven Munatones. "Other swimming conferences usually offering nothing on open water swimming or perhaps a speech or two, but we thought open water swimming deserves its own global conference. It is great that the community shares its information via the online social network, but there is nothing like meeting other open water swimming enthusiasts face-to-face and talking about the sport from morning to night."
Speakers at the conference include English Channel swimmers, ice swimmers, record holders, renowned coaches, world champions, professional marathon swimmers, renowned race directors, officials and administrators from the Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania.
"Because the audience is passionate and educated about the sport and its finest practitioners, the Global Open Water Swimming Conference is also the location of the induction ceremonies for the International Marathon Swimming Hall of Fame and the annual WOWSA Awards that recognize the World Open Water Swimming Man of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Woman of the Year, the World Open Water Swimming Performance of the Year, and the World Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year. Special Lifetime Achievement Awards are also occasionally presented to individuals who have made significant contributions to the sport over their career."

India on Wednesday sought an assurance from the United States (U.S) that any such surveillance on Indian entities, Government and citizens would not recur as it happened in the recent past.
In response to a question on revelations carried in the Washington Post yesterday regarding authorization provided by a US court to the US National Security Agency to intercept information concerning 193 countries and foreign organizations and political parties, Official Spokesperson said, "Government has noted reports in the US media regarding the authorization given to entities of the US Government to intrude upon the privacy of communications of the Indian Government, its citizens, and Indian entities. If such intrusions have indeed been "authorized" and have taken place, it is highly objectionable."
"As has in the past one year, in response to similar disclosures of surveillance of Indian Government entities, our concerns have been clearly expressed at senior official levels to the US Government. In doing so, India has sought an explanation of the information contained in the press reports, and an assurance that such authorizations will not be acted upon by US Government entities, as far as Indian citizens, entities and the Government of India is concerned," the Spokesperson added.

Worth County-- Jessie James Curry, Senior was working in woods on Moultrie Road Thursday morning when a tree he was cutting fell on him, killing him instantly.
Jessie Curry and three other men were cutting down trees on the Indian Cave Tree Farm in Worth County. The 69-year-old Curry was a well known pulp wooder, with a lifetime of experience. But a tree he was cutting fell apart.
Sheriff Freddie Tompkins said "Fellow had sawed down an old hard wood tree, and it fell. Where it fell there was an old big dead hardwood tree, and apparently he was wasn't looking and the tree fell on top of him. He never knew what hit him."
Curry's 45-year-old son was one of the men working with him. They put Curry in a truck and drove him through the woods to Moultrie Road, but it was too late.
James Bailey said "He was a good friend of mine. My cousin in law. I'm gonna miss him." A tragic accident in a dangerous business.
Sheriff Tompkins said "We have a logging accident like this every 6, 7, or 8 years." James Bailey said the group started work around 8:00AM. The accident happened about an hour and a half later.
