Myth Buster Episode 3 - Digital Nerve blocks and adrenaline / epinephrine
This age old myth has been taught over the generations, handed down from from medical eminence to medical students & junior doctors alike. Having been told the same thing recently by a resident in plastics, I thought I would attempt to debunk it here.
Where it Came From
Several publications of case reports in the 1940s cited digital nerve blocks with epinephrine as a cause for gangrene of the finger in the post-op period. This was further propagated in the surgical texts of the day (see references below).
It is widely accepted now (including by the authors) that the actual cause of the gangrene was thermal injury secondary to boiling hot soaks in boric acid solution post-operatively, which was recommneded practice back in the day.
Current evidence
Numerous reviews have examnied this - most recently this study by Chowdhry et al in the December 2010 edition of the journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery :
Epinephrine in digital blocks has been condemned by traditional medical theory. The authors provide a retrospective review of 1111 cases involving digital block anesthesia with epinephrine in conjunction with an extensive literature review.
The authors conducted a retrospective review of 1111 cases involving digital and hand surgery. Observations were made concerning the location of and indication for surgery, age, sex, type of block used, type and dose of anesthetic, use of epinephrine and concentration, use of a tourniquet, follow-up, and complications. Dorsal and transthecal techniques were used exclusively. Patients with vascular compromise did not receive epinephrine and were excluded from the study.
One thousand one hundred eleven cases were reviewed, distributed among 692 male patients and 419 female patients. Sites of surgery ranged throughout the hand and all fingers for a variety of indications. Five hundred patients received injections of 1% plain lidocaine with a dosage range of 2 to 10 cc and an average of 5.7 cc. Six hundred eleven patients received injections of 1% lidocaine with epinephrine (1:100,000) in a dose range of 0.5 to 10 cc and an average dose of 4.33 cc. Nine hundred eighty-six patients (88.75 percent) followed up in the clinic. No patients suffered from digital gangrene in the epinephrine group.
After reviewing 1111 cases, there were no complications associated with the use of epinephrine in digital blocks. The authors suggest that correct application of epinephrine in digital blocks is appropriate, and defend its use.
Plast Reconstr Surg. 2010 Dec;126(6):2031-4.
Myth de-bunked.
The following caveats apply:
- digital blocks may be contraindicated in patients with disease processes involving the digital vessels at the base of the proximal phalanx
- adrenaline / epinephrine should be used cautiously in patients wth known cardiac disease, hypertension & peripheral vascular disease.

Just looked it up!
Vegetarian as a college student, but mostly vegan at home.
I'd like to try to be at least 90% vegan, but ideally more. I don't want to constantly have to fret over what I'm eating but I want to live as healthy, positive, environmentally conscious, and compassionately as possible.
Meet other like minded people in my home state
potlucks, lunches, discussions, things like that.
Hi! My name's Nickie. I've been raised in a vegetarian household for my whole life. I've found myself heading in a vegan direction in the last 2 years, though as a college student in the heart of steak and potatoes country (Nebraska) it isn't easy.

Earlier today the University of Missouri Health System announced they're one of the nation's "Most Wired" hospitals according to the 2011 Most Wired Survey released in the July issue of Hospitals & Health Networks magazine. They were the only facility in mid-Missouri to make the list.
The video below is a celebration of that achievement, along with MU Health Care's recent HIMSS Stage 6 designation. In late 2009, MU Health Care and Cerner created the Tiger Institute for Health Innovation, a partnership focused on (rapidly) advancing technology, quality of care and the overall health status of mid-Missouri residents.
Congratulations to MU Health Care on these significant achievements.

It's time to break away. Break away from your day-to-day grind and head off into the middle distance and break away from your preconceived ideas about travel in South Africa.
First, South Africa may be home but it is also one of the top travel destinations in the world. Second, it need not be as expensive as you think. A sophisticated, low-cost tourist infrastructure has developed over the last few years as a response to the huge influx of foreign backpackers and budget travellers.
One of the most significant of these developments has got to be Baz Bus, a new concept here but quite well known in many other parts of the world. Specifically designed to meet the needs of travellers who don't have their own transport and so find it difficult to get to trains or bus stations, Baz Bus picks them up and drops them off at the backpacker hostels. Also, unlike the more staid Intercity or Greyhound buses, they don't bat an eyelid at luggage that includes mountain bikes, diving gear or surfboards.
The vibe is quite laid-back, too. After a few minutes you are usually chatting happily to fellow passengers and comparing notes about destinations and the music system is excellent. This provides entertainment in more ways than one: on the trip I did, we all got an inkling of the loneliness of the long-distance bus driver.
Doubling as a DJ, the driver would play all his favourite romantic tapes and, when The power of Love came on, would turn the volume up and, all misty-eyed, sing along. We found out he was newly married and desperately missing her. Sympathetic as we were, we could only put up with Jennifer Rush for so long and he was quickly inundated with a selection of tapes from the back of the bus.
The main advantage, though, is the flexibility. You can choose between a short hop or travel the whole way from Cape Town to Johannesburg and back. Whichever you choose, your ticket is valid indefinitely and you can do the trip in stages of whatever distance you like.
For instance, you could buy a Cape Town-Durban ticket but get off at Swellendam; a week later go on to George; then to Knysna and on and on in small hops ... the ticket's fully transferable so you can sell all your remaining legs or just one or two.
I did a long stretch from Cape Town to Port Shepstone, which took two full days. We lost most of the passengers in George they caught the Garden Line bus to Oudtshoorn and we picked up a new group in Knysna. In Plettenberg Bay two Scandinavian cyclists joined us, complete with bikes, and the next morning, after a night in Port Elizabeth, we picked up several Aussie surfers, complete with boards, and a retired British couple. They were at first a little intimidated but eventually got chatting with passengers about half their age.
We swopped our surfers for new passengers in East London, then ditched some of them in Umtata where they carried on to Coffee Bay on a pre-arranged lift.
Until recently, the bus followed a circular route around South Africa, driving from Durban to Johannesburg, via the Drakensberg, then down to Cape Town via Kimberley. Now it turns around in Johannesburg, goes back to Durban and then down the coast.
After some superb diving on the South Coast I headed up to Durban and hopped on board for the coastal return journey, which takes three days and does a detour to Port St Johns and Oudtshoorn. The first night is spent at Cintsa, near East London, and the second at Knysna.
There are four buses a week between Johannesburg and Durban, leaving Johannesburg on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays and Durban on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays.
Four buses a week travel between Cape Town and Durban, leaving Cape Town on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays and from Port Elizabeth to Durban twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
Prices vary for the different legs. A trip between Cape Town and Durban is R495 and between Cape Town and Johannesburg R670 (via Swaziland) single or R1100 return; Johannesburg - Cape Town via the Northern Drakensberg is R595.

I received my sample in the Birchbox and was so thrilled with the perfume. However, my budget won't allow me to spend $98 on the perfume so I wanted to buy the hand cream. Bad news....they were out of it!
I found out that you can still buy it from the company direct at Joie.com. Get it!!
I purchased this hand lotion because I loved the smell of the Folle de Joie perfume sample in my box. However, the price for the perfume was way too high for me. I thought the lotion would be a good runner up. Unfortunately, the lotion is very weak on scent. The texture of the lotion is fine, but it seems to dry out quickly on my hands. And unless I put my nose right up to my hand, I cannot smell the lotion at all. For such a luxury price, I expected more scent and a fabulous lotion. I would not purchase again.3
The cream smells like their eau de parfum. It smells amazing! The cream was a really nice texture, it felt very rich, moisturizing and luxurious. The full size tube is a good size for the price. The packaging is very pretty, looks classy when you pull it out of your purse.5

For over fifteen years, Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson (b. 1963) has merged painting and weaving, creating paintings on hand-dyed, woven silk thread. Jónssons paintings begin from images of the singular landscape of her native Iceland; addressing numerous Icelandic landmarks, she has created series devoted to Vatnajökull, Icelands largest glacier, and Hekla, a stratovolcano that is one of the countrys most active. Opener 25 features a selection of Jónssons artwork from the past five years, including large-scale woven paintings made on a ten-foot-wide loom, as well as several newly created pieces.
Born in Reykjavík, Jónsson has lived in Cleveland, Ohio for thirty years. From 1983 through 1985, Jónsson studied architecture at Kent State University before switching her focus to studio art and studying at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Later, she returned to Kent State, where she received her BFA in 1991 and MFA in 1995. Twice a year Jónsson returns to Iceland, taking photographs as she hikes through the landscape. Details of the photographs, from mountainous silhouettes to glacial crevasses, become isolated, cropped, and enlarged as Jónsson transfers the imagery to woven paintings in her Cleveland studio. This complex process includes hand-dyeing the threads before weaving together the warp and weft. In the process, Jónssons original sources are abstracted, as the paintings suggest a range of imagery from nonrepresentational lines and shapes to elemental forms, such as cells, rocks, and galaxies.
Opener 25: Hildur Ásgeirsdóttir Jónsson is a two-site exhibition that will be on view at the Reykjavik Museum of Art from February 8May 18, 2014. The Tang Museum presentation is organized by Dayton Director Ian Berry in collaboration with the artist and supported by New York State Council on the Arts, Overbrook Foundation, and Friends of the Tang.

Mega-celebrity Martin Short calls it "An unforgettable love story with humor and heart." Renowned playwright Jerry Mayer echoes, "A comedy with heart you'll never EVER forget. Fabulous!" It's Lisa Phillips Visca's RAISE ME UP – a true story about a "moonstruck" couple's forbidden love, the hilarity and drama from their deeply passionate Italian-Greek families, and how they spent their last day on Earth together. Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you believe in soul mates? Do you believe in eternal love? By the time the final curtain falls, you'll believe. RAISE ME UP is Lisa Phillips Visca's joyful and touching tribute to her parents, Louis and Daphne Padula, capturing their eternal passion and the surreal ending to their classic love story.
Set in Staten Island in the early 1950's, RAISE ME UP reflects the post-war optimism of the younger generation of the era, and the hope in the air for better times juxtaposed against the older generation and parents still anchored in traditional ethnic, nationalistic, economic, and religious divisions, divisions that mirror the uncertainty of today's political and economic times where the younger generation is fighting its own battle to hold on to that same hope, to fulfill their dreams, and to share their lives with a partner of their choosing.
Written by Lisa Phillips Visca (Sophia; Turning Thirty & More than a Pretty Face; Climax) and helmed by internationally acclaimed director Chris DeCarlo(Arnold Schulman's Sleeping Ugly; Jerry Mayer's Aspirin & Elephants; Robert B Parker and Stephen King's RAGE), RAISE ME UP features stage and screen personalities Marla Adams (The Young and the Restless; The President's Man; A Little Night Music), John Del Regno (Born on the 4th of July; Joan of Arcadia, Without a Trace), Serena Dolinsky (Moliere's The Fools; Moonlight Madness; Love in Bloom), Ben Feuer (All God's Creatures; Murder by the Book; Of Mice and Men), Mitch Lerner (40 Days and Nights; Super Cyclone; The Big Douche Chill), Michael Marinaccio (Li'l Tokyo Reporter; The Online Gamer; Tony 'n' Tina's Wedding), Lenora May (Confessions of a Shopaholic; Mistresses on ABC, Scandal), Stuart Pankin (Not Necessarily the News; Fatal Attraction; The Artist; Desperate Housewives), Evelyn Rudie (Audition: The Musical; Funny, You Don't Look Like A Grandmother; Author! Author!), and Joey Shea (One Life to Live; The Practice; As The World Turns).
You'll laugh…You'll cry…You'll never forget this spellbinding true love story. RAISE ME UP plays Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, special early-bird Sunday matinees at 3pm. Special low-priced previews March 1-22.

Breaking a decades-long trend, the world gets more violent
If you were watching the news last year, it was hard to escape the impression the world was falling apart. Now the data is in. And yes, it turns out the world's most violent conflicts got a lot bloodier in 2014 — almost 30 percent bloodier, in fact.
After turbulent 2014, next year may be no calmer
NEW YORK (Reuters) – From financial crisis in Russia to cyber warfare with North Korea, 2014 has generated new flashpoints right into its final days, setting 2015 up to be just as turbulent.
Almost all of the major confrontations, such as the battle with Islamic State militants, the West's stand-off with Russia over Ukraine and the fight against Ebola, will rumble on. Others could erupt at short notice.
From Baltic to Asia, East-West aerial confrontations heat up
NEW YORK, Dec 22 (Reuters) – From the skies of the Baltic to
the South China Sea, a new era of confrontation with Russia and
China is pitting U.S. and allied pilots against their
counterparts on a scale not seen since the Cold War era.
It is, current and former officials say, a major shift for
air crews who by and large have spent more than a decade flying
largely uncontested missions over Afghanistan and Iraq.
West struggles with Russia's 'ambiguous warfare' tactics
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – When Russians crossed the border to fight with rebels in eastern Ukraine earlier this year, Moscow said the soldiers had not been deployed but had gone on their own vacation time.
When Estonia was the victim of a cyber attack in 2007 and blamed Moscow, the Kremlin responded that it could not always control patriotic Russian hackers.
Militant attack deaths soar to all-time high: report
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The number of people killed in militant attacks worldwide jumped more than 60 percent last year to a record high of nearly 18,000 and the figure could rise further in 2014 due to an escalation of conflict in the Middle East and Nigeria, a report showed on Tuesday.
Four Islamist groups operating in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria were responsible for two thirds of the 2013 attacks and the vast majority of the deaths occurred in those countries, the Australia and US-based Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) said in its Global Terrorism Index.
Year of crises stretches militaries, governments to limit
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – From a standoff with Russia to fights against Ebola and Islamic State, 2014 has pitted western policymakers against a scale of crises unparalleled in recent years.
The result, current and former officials say, has been a degree of overstretch in Washington, Whitehall and Brussels on a scale few can remember. The risk is that other danger signs get missed.
In 2005 Marburg virus outbreak, some lessons for Ebola crisis
WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) – When I see the footage of
health workers in protection suits taking up the fight against
Ebola in west Africa, memories come flooding back.
Nine years ago, I took a Reuters team into the heart of
another haemorrhagic fever catastrophe, the 2005 Marburg virus
outbreak in northern Angola. I saw what it took to bring it
under control.
U.S. sends 'Ironhorse' tanks to NATO's nervous Baltic front line
WASHINGTON/RIGA, Oct 1 (Reuters) – U.S. troops and tanks
will deploy across the three Baltic states and Poland in the
next two weeks on a mission designed to deliver an unmistakeable
message of NATO resolve to Moscow.
The "Ironhorse" armoured cavalry unit, with around 700
soldiers, some 20 M1A1 Abrams main battle tanks with Bradley and
Stryker armoured fighting vehicles, is one of the most
formidable U.S. military forces to be sent onto former Soviet
soil. Several of the bases and training areas it will operate
from were built for the old Soviet Red Army.
U.S., Iran seek common ground against militants, but doubts persist
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Whether Washington likes it or not, Shi'ite Iran, a key ally of the governments of Iraq and Syria, is all but certain to be a major player in the fight against the Sunni militants of Islamic State.
Bitterly at odds over most major Middle Eastern issues, the United States and Iran now essentially find themselves on the same side in an escalating crisis over the Islamist group that has seized large swathes of Iraq and Syria.
From suburban Maryland, U.S. firm tracks gruesome jihadi videos
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – From an office in the Washington suburb of Bethesda, Maryland, a small team scans the Web 24 hours a day for jihadi videos often featuring gruesome executions by groups such as Islamic State.
On Tuesday, SITE Intelligence Services grabbed headlines when it found and alerted its subscribers to footage of the beheading of Steven Sotloff, the second American journalist to be put to death by IS in two weeks.

Doctor P is one of dubstep's fastest rising stars having carved out his own sound and co-founded one of dubstep's most successful labels, Circus. This list of achievements is impressive given he's only been at it 18 months. Knowledge caught up with him to find out where he emerged from, how he feels about the dubstep scene and what the future holds...
For those that don't already know, can you tell us a bit about who you are and what you do?
My names Shaun Brockhurst, AKA Doctor P, and I've been making dubstep for about 18 months. Before that I used to produce drum & bass under the name DJ Picto. I decided it wasn't really going anywhere so I switched it up and thought I'd try something new. I'm still doing D&B under the name Slum Dogz with DJ Swan-E.
How's that going? Are you still quite into the D&B scene?
Yeah, we're still putting out D&B, we're working hard at it. We've started getting there, starting to get a few bookings which is alright. I've been putting out D&B for coming up four years now, it's just not really getting anywhere, but we're starting to now.
Do you feel as though it's a harder scene to crack than dubstep?
I think D&B has almost become an old school scene, people don't really seem to be interested in new stuff that much.
So you've started Circus Records with DJ Swan-E and Flux Pavilion, why did you start your own label when there must have been plenty of established labels ready to put your music out?
To be honest I didn't really think anything of it, I wasn't going to bother but Swan-E encouraged me. If you run your own label you have a lot more control. You can also get a lot more of your own music released, as there is no one else on the roster. It just made sense. Everyone in dance music starts up their own label.
You must have been fairly confident when you were putting it out that the music was going to strong enough to carry a new brand...
Well, there is not too much risk involved in starting up small labels these days. When we first started out we were just doing a basic 50/50 split between the artist and the label, but now we've been seen as a success we've had to register as a proper company. It's suddenly become expensive and is more like an investment, but luckily it didn't require too much investment at the outset. It's all been pretty smooth.
You've been putting out vinyl, why do you think it's still important given the expense and hassle?
Well, it's only the top 10% of labels that actually put out vinyl. So to put vinyl out, you automatically put yourself in that category. There is still a market for it and people still buy it. I see vinyl as more of a collectors item now rather than a practical DJ tool. I don't like the idea of just putting out an MP3. It doesn't seem like such a big thing because anyone can do it. It's the way things are going though, I don't even think downloading MP3s is going last that long. I think soon enough it'll be all streaming type services. I don't think vinyl is the future. I moved on a long time ago.
Going back to the music, specifically the dubstep you make, what do you feel you've done differently to make you stand out so much?
I don't know, something obviously made me stand out, because since I started putting tracks out everyone seems really interested in what I'm doing, which I didn't expect. I think it's just because my music is so loud and energetic, that's one of the main things I brought to dubstep. Before high-energy dubstep was about everyone in the rave just standing about swaying to the extreme bass. With my stuff, people seem to be jumping up and down and waving their arms about. It's a totally different thing. I never even really thought of it as dubstep. It didn't fit with the scene at all.
You say you came from a D&B background, it seems to me there has been progression in D&B, in terms of style and subgenres, but it's never swayed too much. 140bpm music seems to evolve very quickly through styles and there is a lot of crossover. Do you think the dubstep has got the longevity to be a lasting scene?
Dubstep blew up so quickly that I wasn't sure what would happen. I thought it may just die out as quickly as it came about. It's really easy to make a lot of music too cheesy, but it's impossible to make dubstep cheesy. So I think that fact could help it stay around a lot longer.
What were the differences and challenges you found when switching from producing D&B to dubstep?
I've found it's really difficult to make energetic dubstep. With D&B the energy is already there before you've done anything. With dubstep it's so slow it's a battle to inject the energy. I find it more enjoyable to make than any other genres because you can pretty much just do what you want. I've got some seriously strange bits in some of my tracks that make no sense at all but still work.
There's a few of you on Circus Records now - Flux Pavilion, Cookie Monsta and I hear you are talking to Roxsonix - are you planning to continue expanding?
We are just doing deal at the moment with Roxsonix. They won our remix comp earlier this year. We think there is a lot of potential in their music. We are on the look out for new people all the time. It's becoming harder to pick people out as a lot of people are trying to make dubstep and a lot of it sounds the same. It's got that stage like D&B did a few years ago where all the kids are trying to make it and they are all making the same thing. We spend a lot of time sifting through it trying to find something that stands out.
I got into producing six or seven years ago, and it hadn't really reached the stage yet where people could download sample packs. So everyone had to make their own drums and make their own sounds. So I learnt how to do it. Then, one day, I realised you could just download pretty much anything, already done for you, but I learnt the hard way and I think that's helped me out a lot.
Can you tell us a bit about your take on the performance / DJing side of the scene and the changes that are going on at the moment?
These days it almost doesn't matter about the actual skill of beat matching. People are doing it on Ableton and chopping it up as they go along with a midi controller. It's just the changing of the times; I don't really think it matters. There is always going to be people who are good at it. When radio first came about all the record companies tried to hold it down because they thought it would kill the music industry. But it obviously didn't kill it, it helped it if anything. I'm sure people will look back and say the same thing about the changes that are happening now in dance music.
Could you tell me a bit about your influences both inside and outside the dubstep/D&B scene...
I take a lot of influence from everything that's going on currently across all genres. Everything that's good I'll try and take some sort of influence from. Most of the music I listen to is completely unrelated, stuff from the 60s and 70s, folky stuff. I can't really listen to dubstep anymore, I've heard too much now, enough to last a lifetime. My brain just shuts off!
What set-up are you using to produce at the moment?
I've just bought a new laptop and I was surprised at how few things I needed to install. I just use Nuendo, Native Instruments' Massive and a few EQs.
What's your background before you started making music?
I did music production at university and graduated a couple of years ago. I pretty much came straight out of it and got into the dubstep scene. My course was highly rated but I don't feel like I learnt that much from it. I learnt a lot about the specifics of hardware, but they didn't really teach me a lot about making music. I thought because I'd chosen music production instead of music tech they'd teach me a bit more about actually making music, but I turned out to be pretty much the same course!
You seem to do a lot with Flux Pavilion, can you tell us a bit about that relationship?
When we were teenagers, we used to walk home from school together. I can't remember exactly when we met, but we were both in to music and playing guitar, so we started making beats together. We pretty much do now what we've always done!
Have you got any advice for up-and-coming producers?
Don't try and be someone else, everyone always looks at the big producers and tries to make what they are making. I only started to get somewhere when I realised that. As soon as I stopped trying to emulate and just made what I wanted to, it became a lot more interesting. I heard Pendulum saying in an interview that they always start off a track by copying someone else then take it in their own direction, which makes sense. That's pretty much what I do. Try and recreate something then let it go off in a different direction.

Crimelife 2
editor's review
Crimelife 2 is a fan's attempt of bringing the once 2D GTA into the 3D world. In this game, you play as a random dude who's dressed in black and has nothing else to do but roam around a city.
An attempt for which we can at least appreciate the effort
Long story short, Crimelife 2 is something that never got done. It's a 3D game with almost decent graphics that aims to recreate Grand Theft Auto gameplay. The game starts with you, the nameless protagonist who arrives home by bus, and that's it.
Once you reach your destination, there's just silence and a motorcycle parked in the driveway. There is no story to follow and no missions to accept from the nearest phone booth. You just, roam around in an incomplete game trying to make the best of it.
Gameplay that's awkward all the way
Like in GTA you get to steal cars, buy guns and shoot people, and eventually the cops will chase you too. There are a few car models to choose from and that's actually the only acceptable thing about the game, the fact that the vehicles look nice.
The gameplay is exactly like you would expect it to be in a game that's 10% complete, glitchy, strange and awkward. You can enter a museum but there's nothing to do, you have a mini bowling game that robs you of a lot of money and the worst part is that your character can't even throw a punch. That's not the GTA way.
Something that's an example of how not to start and then abandon a game
Fan-made or not, Crimelife 2 has no chance of passing as a decent game, or even close to that. It had a good idea to work with, and maybe, just maybe if it got more work done it might have been at least interesting.

Sisters travel down rough emotional roads in Camarillo writer's new 'Seatbelts' play
Camarillo writer's new play opens in North Hollywood
For nearly a decade, the working relationship between Kimberly Demmary and John Barker remained constant. She was an actress, he was the director and they worked together regularly on various local theater productions.
So it surprised Barker when Demmary, a Camarillo resident, took off her acting hat one day and approached him with a play she had written. Seeing promise in her work, Baker became her mentor and also agreed to helm the 2007 world premiere of her first effort, the comedy "The Game of Life," at the now-closed Stage Door Theatre in Agoura Hills.
Demmary and Baker have kept working on new ideas over the years, and tonight she's unveiling one of them. "Seatbelts Required," directed by Barker and starring Elizabeth Kimball, is opening at The Actors Workout Studio in North Hollywood.
Kimball portrays the oldest of three sisters — each of whom had a different father. They gather on the day of their mother's funeral and begin comparing notes on what it was like growing up with an alcoholic parent.
The play, about three half sisters trying to reconnect following the death of their alcoholic mother, will open today at 8 p.m. and run through Nov. 27 at The Actors Workout Studio, 4735 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood. Performances are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, 2 p.m. Sundays. There is no show Nov. 25. Tickets are $15. Call 818-506-3903 or visit actorsworkout.com.
Demmary, who has worked on "Seatbelts Required" for the past two years, doesn't recall how the idea came to her, but she has used her own sisters as inspiration for sibling dynamics.
"But let me say what happens in this story is not true to my life," Demmary said. "I have gone through some challenges, but I pushed these characters to see how much I could put them through and still have it be believable."
The initial draft of "Seatbelts Required" was just 25 pages long and it was set entirely in a car. The playwright gave it to her mentor, who read it and made suggestions.
"He never tells me lines to use or how to change the plot," Demmary said. "He points out what might be missing in a character or what's not working. And I go back and write more."
Demmary hasn't appeared in either of her productions, although that wasn't initially the plan.
"I wanted to write a play I could be in and really enjoy," she said. "Then I realized it was not a good idea to be in your own work."
When the time came to cast "Seatbelts Required," Demmary and Barker went with tested performers. Cynthia Manous, who plays the middle sister, appeared in "The Game of Life," and Kimball starred with Demmary in a 2008 production of "Proof" at the West Valley Playhouse in Canoga Park.
"I learn so much as an actress watching her," Demmary said about Kimball. "She does some amazing things."
Kimball hasn't appeared in a play since "Proof," instead focusing on TV and film.
"I'll only take the time to do a play if it's a really good role," she said. "This is such a well-written play that she made me come out of the woodwork."
This is the first time Demmary's work will be seen outside of Ventura County. Baker said the choice was made to help the play gain wider exposure.
"I'm a Ventura County actress and writer, so having my play in North Hollywood is a whole new experience for me," she said. "And it's scary. All of my friends and people following me are out here (in Ventura County)."
Barker believes the gamble is worth it, given the strength of "Seatbelts Required."
"Every time I explain the story for this play people get excited and want to see it," he said. "This is an emotional journey that people can identify with, and the characters are clearly drawn. I could see the play just from reading it."
Demmary believes the play would not have made it to the stage without the guidance she received from Barker.
"Some writers think their words are perfect, and without an outside eye looking at your work you can't grow," she said. "I am so lucky to have a mentor like this."

Overview: There are three essential questions you should ask before starting a blog. Four if you want to earn a living from your blog.
- What am I going to blog about?
- Who do I want to read my blog?
- Why will they read my blog?
The fourth question is for those wanting to make money from the blog
- How to I make money from my visitors or my visitors actions.
What am I going to write about?
In brief you are going to blog:
- to promote a product or yourself
- whatever comes into your head, a personal blog
- build your blog in a particular subject area, niche
There will be articles about each approach in linked posts that will be written this week.
Who do I want to read my blog?
This is an important consideration as you will have to make the decision between building up a large number of visitors or targeting a clearly defined group of people.
A business using a blog to help sell a specific, expensive, technical product would want their blog to be seen by people in their industry. The blog would be a mixture of brochure, public publicity, basic support centre and news about the product, other products the business makes and news of interest to the industry. Attracting thousands of general interest visitors would not be one of their goals.
On the other hand a blog making money through adverts and affiliate schemes would want to attract as many people interested in their particular niche as possible. Every visitor would be a potential business opportunity, as they may click on an advertiser's link, or buy a product from an affiliate.
The personal blogger may want to build a large audience, or to seek a few individuals who are interested in similar subjects, or even to find a small group of people to discuss or even argue about their interest.
Note: It is very important that you have a good idea who you are writing for before you start blogging as it affects your style of writing in your content.
Why will they read my blog?
So you know what you are going to write about and you know who your target audience.
… you need to think why they come to your blog and why they will keep coming back to your blog.
Your blog will be competing with billions of other websites and blogs. Even in your niche or business area you will find hundreds, and in most cases thousands, of potential rivals. Some of the sites will be strong competitors and hopefully others will become part of your network.
But, and I repeat but, you will have to offer something that is interesting, important, newsworthy or entertaining. People are busy and most are easily distracted. It is therefore up to you to make your visitor welcome and wanting to read your material. More importantly you want your visitor to interact by leaving a comment, by buying a product, signing up to a newsletter, clicking on a link or bookmarking your site with the intention of coming back.
Note: Thinking how your visitors will react to your site is important. It will put you in front of many other bloggers. Your visitor's reactions to your blog will affect your style of writing, your content, your navigation and how you blog in a very productive manner.
How to I make money from my visitors or my visitors actions
As they say — this is the "$64 million question". It is useful for you to have a reasonable idea where your money is going to be earned. Is it going to come from adverts, affiliate links, products, subscriptions or are you going to offer training, consultancy or other service.
If you are planning to make your income from say advertisements then building up a lot of traffic is important. On the other hand if you're going to be rich running a paid for training membership site the focus will be on finding potential trainees. The blog's objective will be to be one of the dominant blogs in that particular training niche, it will try and try and pre-sell the training and will try to counter any objections a particular buyer may have as well, of course, guiding the visitor to the buying page.
Over to you
So are you clear:
- on what are you going to write about in your blog?
- who do you want as visitors to your blog?
- why are your visitors going to come to your blog?
- If relevant, I want them to make money from your visitors?

It's an aggravating problem for any advanced skier who doesn't happen to have the ideal foot shape. To get the performance you want, you want to go with a snug fit, especially in the crucial ankle-heel areas. But too often, that snug heel pocket comes with a commensurately narrow forefoot. That's no problem if you're used to employing the services of a bootfitter, but bootfitting takes time and costs money.Salomon's CS shell technology gives you a simpler solution, and now it's available in multiple models throughout the line, so you don't have to be a full-on expert to get it.

Ditko Tales, Apocryphal and Otherwise…By srbissette on August 10th, 2008
Posted In: News
Interior page by Steve Ditko from Konga #6, from Blake Bell's great new Ditko book (see link below); was Ditko flipping the bird to comics? Who knows! Steve ain't saying, and I wouldn't ask if I could…
Bob Heer steered my attention to this post on his excellent blog today:
My response to Bob's post, though, is very specific to his comments — go read his post, and then read the following:
Great post, Bob — and some further evidence to back your interpretation:
1. Publishers habitually 'cut up' artwork, pre-return-of-artwork-to-artists era.In our first year at Kubert School, Joe Kubert told Rick Veitch and I (and some of our classmates; this wasn't during class, mind you) about walking down the hallway at DC in the early '60s and noting a man cutting up original art on a paper cutter before dumping the cut strips in a basket — and the page on the block was the last page of one of Joe's HAWKMAN stories! The rest were already gone — Joe asked if he could have the one about to be chopped up, and the follow responded with something like, "Why not, you're saving me the effort."
Joe had the original framed and displayed on the wall of the main floor of the Baker Mansion, then the school's main classroom; it was one of those pages drawn with half-a-page left open for an ad, circa DC's 1950s-early '60s era. I'm sure it was one of us asking why Joe was displaying this — not a great page — rather than one of the spectacular HAWKMAN splashes that prompted Joe telling us this story. As you can imagine, we were horrified.
2. Marvel's return policies were indeed atrocious, even in the 1980s and up to the present, but even after the dawn of the new age of returning original art to artists was standard operating procedure in the '80s, I've received plenty of art that was returned damaged and often cut.
In my experience, the worst offender was Eclipse Comics, by far — they returned the art for my story "Scraps" (included in Veitch's and my Eclipse collection BEDLAM) in terrible condition, including a cut and a crunched double-page spread. I had to doctor that page as best I could, including replacing zipatone that had been torn off.
At least they returned the artwork — I stopped contributing art to fanzines by the early 1980s, after having too many such fanzine submissions kept, lost, damaged or simply drop off the face of the earth.
3. The 'original page as cutting board' story never, ever made sense to me; cartoonists didn't use expensive illustration board much prior to painted comics entering the fray (illustration board being the only 'page' with enough thickness to serve as a cutting board), and a hunk of cardboard would make a better cutting board in any case.
Cutting through two-or-three ply bristol board would score the surface of the desk or table beneath, invalidating the use of any 1930s-60s original art FOR a cutting board.
Like a number of the anecdotes in Blake Bell's often terrific book on Ditko, I don't buy the 'cutting board' story.
OK, that's that — let me add that I love Blake Bell's book, and have enormous respect and affection for Blake; we exchanged emails last year while working on the two intros we did (working separately) for the Marvel Amazing Adventures/Amazing Adult Fantasy hardcover compilation. None of the following is an attack on Blake or his fine book — it's my personal assessment of a few key points.
The worse abuse in the book, to my mind, remains the assumption that the making of "hundreds of thousands of dollars" (it's practically a mantra in the last quarter of the book) would justify Dikto subjecting himself to any further contact with or potential abuses from the comics industry.
Given the catalogue of abuses Bell himself has assembled, why would any sane artist put himself through more?
From the top comics publishers to 'creator friendly' publisher like Eclipse (God, the description of the abysmal treatment afforded Ditko, from his own work to the terminated biography project, is chilling — and what a character assassination on Mark Upchurch! Cat and Dean's comments should have been countered, from some source, at the very least) to fanzines, the man was dealt a dirty hand time and time again.
No wonder he ended up trusting only Robin Snyder (who I always got along well with); it's no different, really, than Alan Moore's current decision to cease any contact with the American comics industry, save for Chris Staros, except that Staros has considerable resources Robin Snyder never, ever had.Ditko's retreat and determination to avoid further contact isn't evidence of 'erratic behavior' or extremist philosophy — it's the reaction of a sane man to decades of ill treatment. Why put up with it for another nanosecond?
Sadly, Blake Bell's stance in this regard reflects not only our cultural orientation to money (as if money alone could or would drive a man and artist like Steve Ditko), but also a fan clinging to the illusions of some sort of la-la-land fantasy of 'the industry' as a promised land.
Blake would have better served his subject had he kept that impulse in firm check, particularly in his concluding chapters, or reached for a metaphor more in accord with Ditko's realm (e.g., Alan Moore again comes to mind).
Bell's book spells it all out quite vividly — how did he miss his own point?
To Ditko, comics wasn't a promised land, except in his youth; once he entered the field, it was his life and career. He gave it his all — hence the book, his legacy, his legend. What has comics given to Ditko? Fame? Fortune? Infamy?
In keeping with the tenore of this week's Charlton monster love fest, here's another terrific Steve Ditko Konga cover; note that Robin Snyder and Ditko reprinted some of Ditko's Konga art and stories as the black-and-white paperback collection The Lonely One, for those of you curious but not interested in paying the collector prices back issues of Konga now command.
The 'mystery' of why Ditko stayed on with Charlton from the beginning of his career to the demise of Charlton is self-evident: however low-paying, Charlton respected and valued Ditko and his work. Charlton didn't fuck with Ditko or his work. The respect was mutual, the working relationship lasted until Charlton folded. No other comics publisher, in any venue, save Robin Snyder offered similar conditions of mutual respect, courtesy, and professionalism.
(Even Jim Warren, for whom Ditko arguably completed his most technically stunning and accomplished comics work, was renowned for habitually messing with artists: a number of former Warren freelancers (including Berni Wrightson) have told me tales over the years, the most consistent one involving Warren's habit of always leaving one delivered job unpaid for, paying for the previous completed job when a new one was delivered. I would consider this apocryphal, had I not been told the same thing by over five former Warren freelancers, including Archie Goodwin, who once rather sheepishly said to me, "Well, yes, Steve, I'm afraid that's true.")
Reading Bell's book is reading a testimonial of abuses, past and present, from generation after generation of comics publishers, editors (again, Cat and Dean should hang their heads in shame), peers and fans. From Martin Goodman to the 'creator friendly' publishers of the 1980s and '90s, Ditko was almost always ill-treated; and as he grew older, fans-turned-pros didn't want what Ditko did create, they wanted what their fantasy of Ditko was, or what they thought he "should be." I don't need to overlay Ditko's Objectivist philosophy onto these testimonials to arrive at the conclusion that comics, in the end, had less and less to offer Ditko, and fewer and fewer viable job opportunities and/or venues for self-expression once Charlton ceased publication.
The quality of Ditko's later work, as evidenced in Bell's book, is comparable to that of Ditko's peer Jack Kirby; yes, there is erosion of quality self-evident. That said, though, there is also remarkable consistency between Ditko's pencils for himself to ink, shown early in the book, and the pencils he turned in for gigs like Chuck Norris and the Marvel jobs Blake shows pencils from; yes, they're sketchy, but it looks to me like Ditko's pencils were always tailored to Ditko's inks, leaving much undone until the ink hit the page. Back to the erosion: Some of that erosion of quality was/is likely due to the aging process, some of it due (I would argue) to the low standards apparent in the industry as a whole, and low pay and low esteem associated with the jobs at hand. But it's also sadly of a piece with similar career arc's evident in Ditko's peers, from Gil Kane to Jack Kirby, matched by the shoddy treatment afforded such peers (whom Ditko has outlived).
It's a sad spectacle, strung end to end, but anyone harboring the fantasy that any sane working cartoonist could or would sustain the highest quality of their earlier work amid the degenerating editorial standards and ill treatment testified to in Bell's Ditko biography (and, I'm very sorry to say, unintentionally embodied at times in Bell's book) would be hard-pressed to maintain those illusory values if they could shed them long enough to acknowledge the self-evident human toll chronicled in the book, too.
As one who likewise stepped away from the industry, Ditko's decisions and behavior seems utterly pragmatic and justified.
What became increasingly irrational to me, personally, by the end of the 1990s, and seems absolutely barking mad to me now, is why any self-respecting professional would put up with half of the horseshit that is accepted as 'business as usual' in the comics industry, then and today. It's astonishing the likes of Steve Ditko and Alan Moore stayed with it as long as they did, and that the Joe Kuberts, Will Eisners and (from my own generation) Frank Millers of the world maintain enough personal will, power and equilibrium to function in such an industry.
Then again, I'm considered plenty eccentric and bizarre in the comics cesspool, having been publicly dismissed as unstable by the likes of Warren Ellis (who I found personally quite likable when we finally met face-to-face at Komiks.dk in Copenhagen in 2006) and plenty of friends and peers, so — c'est la vie.
All of which leads me to: I hope I live long enough to read biographies of my own generation. That'll be rich!

Kragthorpe: Urban Meyer's Buckeyes outlast Gary Andersen's Badgers
Columbus, Ohio
During the season when they worked together for the University of Utah, Urban Meyer and Gary Andersen never lost.
One of them was bound to lose Saturday night in this Ute reunion, staged in front of the third-largest crowd (105,826) in Ohio Stadium history and a prime-time television audience.
In keeping with the unbeaten theme of that 2004 season, Ohio State's 31-24 victory over Wisconsin made Meyer 17-0 in his second year in Columbus.
Meyer said he couldn't imagine a better college football environment. Andersen also enjoyed everything about competing against his old boss on such a big stage other than the outcome, and some defensive lapses that contributed to it.
"We gave 'em too many layups," Andersen said. "We have to be able to make it more difficult. ⦠That's when it gets extremely frustrating."
The No. 4 Buckeyes (5-0) were overwhelming at the start. No. 23 Wisconsin (3-2) kept battling back, only to be undone by a 40-yard touchdown pass a routine play, not even a Hail Mary with one second remaining in the first half. That sequence took away any thoughts of a Wisconsin upset, even though the statistics were virtually even.
Leading 24-14, the Buckeyes turned a third-quarter interception into a short touchdown drive. Wisconsin answered with a touchdown early in the fourth period and added a field goal with 2:05 remaining, but could not do anything with a final possession that started at its 10-yard line.
In his return from injury, OSU quarterback Braxton Miller threw four touchdown passes. Wisconsin's passing game was even more effective. BYU will want to remember this name in November: Jared Abbrederis, who caught 10 passes for 207 yards.
This Big Ten contest was the first meeting of ex-Utah and Utah State head coaches, while also involving Wisconsin assistants Andy Ludwig, Dave Aranda, Bill Busch, Chad Kauha'aha'a and T.J. Woods, who formerly worked for either the Utes or the Aggies or both.
Because of the conference's expansion and realignment, Meyer and Andersen could meet only in the Big Ten championship game in 2014 or '15.
Meyer recently labeled Andersen "one of the top two, three hires I've ever made." That's saying a lot, considering Andersen is one of his former 10 assistants who have become head coaches.
Here's how it happened: After coach Ron McBride was fired by Utah in November 2002, Andersen landed Southern Utah's head coaching job prior to Meyer's arrival in Salt Lake City. In early 2004, after defensive line coach Mike Tuiasosopo moved to Arizona, Meyer interviewed Andersen at the urging of Kyle Whittingham, then Utah's defensive coordinator.
Meyer had another candidate in mind and Andersen was not sure about leaving SUU and returning to his old job, but each won over the other. The Utes proceeded to go 12-0 with a Fiesta Bowl victory. Andersen then chose to work for Whittingham as Utah's defensive coordinator when Meyer departed for Florida.
Meyer remains appreciative of Andersen, citing "his direct impact on our program," specifically in terms of motivating and relating to Polynesian players.
The '04 Utah staff blended well. Maybe because the Utes always won, there weren't "a lot of confrontational times," Andersen said. "I was on the defensive side, and we never lost. So [Meyer] probably came in the defensive room five times. So it makes it easy."
While working at Florida, Meyer split two games with Mississippi State's Dan Mullen, who had coached the quarterbacks during Meyer's two years at Utah. There have been other meetings of former head coaches of Utah schools in college football history, but not on a stage like this.
Andersen believes the two of them would have approached their competition just as intensely if they were "coaching 8-year-olds in little league," and he's probably right.
Let's just hope Andersen's kids would have covered the home team's receiver better on that 40-yard touchdown pass.

This was just one of 140 crashes or slide-offs Ottawa County Sheriff's deputies responded to between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday.
"They hit our sander in the back," Ottawa County Road Commission Finance Director Michael Mikita said. "The sander needs to be repaired, but the truck is back on the road."
The sand truck was working in tandem with a county plow truck on the left shoulder of the westbound lanes of I-96 when it was struck at about 8:50 a.m. in near whiteout conditions.
Police said the driver of the county truck — Robert Furman, 40, of Grant — wasn't injured. Furman's supervisor, Ryan Kemppainen, said Furman went to the doctor on his own, and was sent home for the day after he complained of a sore neck.
Furman told police he was traveling at about 25 mph when he was hit. All of his emergency lights were activated.
Chad Searcy, 34, of Kent City was driving west at the time and traveling at about 50 mph in a 2009 stake truck when he hit the back of the plow, said Sgt. Steve Austin of the Ottawa County Sheriff's Department.
Searcy was pinned inside his vehicle and was extricated by Coopersville-Polkton firefighters, Austin said.
Searcy was driving a Clinic Services laundry truck. Officials at that Grand Rapids business said he actually worked for Roth Trucking, a subcontractor.
A Roth Trucking spokesperson said the driver was making his daily delivery to North Ottawa Community Hospital in Grand Haven.
Austin said Searcy suffered head and leg injuries in the crash, and was taken to Spectrum Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids in serious condition.
A condition update was not available Tuesday afternoon.

I'm writing this letter on behalf of Frank Brown. The article written about Mr. Brown in the U-B was not all correct.
I called our local hospitals to find out who should be called first when a person passes away. I was informed the coroner should be called first then the funeral home unless it was a homicide or murder.
If it was either one of those then the coroner is to call the police in.
I'm confused about why the story printed about Mr. Brown was not written sooner before the election. I finally met Mr. Brown and I learned a lot. I asked Mr. Brown how he could go to someone's home and accuse them of murdering their child. Mr. Brown informed me that the whole story wasn't told. My question is why not?
I also asked him if or when my mom passes away does there have to be an autopsy done and he said, "Not if there is proof that the person was ill and it showed that she has had these medical issues for a long time" by her medical records.
If I knew my mom wasn't ill I would prefer that Mr. Brown would be the one in charge of her autopsy. Mr. Brown should have never had all this garbage printed right before the election. It should have been printed long before when the problems first came up, not now.
When it is time to vote I will be writing in Frank Brown. I would also like to say I appreciate he shared with me the steps I need to take when the time has come. I also appreciate him being a caring person who shows his support to the families who lose a loved one.

An attorney representing a federal agent charged with murdering a man inside a Waikiki McDonald's says the case should move to federal court because of publicity about racial issues and animosity toward the federal government in Hawaii.
State Department Special Agent Christopher Deedy's attorney Karl Blanke argued before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Honolulu Tuesday. Blanke argues the murder trial should be moved even though a jury has been selected in state court and opening statements are scheduled for July 8.
Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Donn Fudo says Deedy took too long to ask for the move.
Deedy is accused of killing Kollin Elderts in 2011 while in town for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
Blanke is asking the judges for an expedited decision.

It's a Boy - your thoughts and advice with my names
Hello all
On Monday we found out we are expecting a baby boy. We had picked out the name Matilda if baby was to be a girl. We are going to save that name for later on.
Now we are back to the drawing board for boy names. My husband and I don't like names that are too frilly. 1-2 syllables max 3 syllables are best.
Here are the names I have on my list so far:
Could you please write your impressions of each name and add some of your own suggestions that you think we might like. Middle name will most likely be Luke (but not with John) and last name is 3 syllables beginning with O. I'm not sure if Theo O will work either.
Thank you so much in advance!!
September 18th, 2013 05:47 AM #3
Congratulations on having a boy!
Noah, quite popular, but popular for a reason it's a great name!
Theo, love! But the O surname would put me off...
Clancy, on the fence with this one. I kinda think hillbilly, but the right kid/person would probably change that if he wore it well.
Finlay, I prefer plan Finn, but it's a nice name
Eric, still has the old mannish feel, despite Eric Northman freshening it up.
John, great choice. Recognizable but not common (for this generation anyway).
Robin: another familiar but not common name. I adore this name and can 100% see a son named this. My husband alas, does not.
Hugh: fits in with your short, sweet classic boys name vibe.
Good luck!

My thoughts on the names:
Noah - a lovely wholesome classic, with a great sound. Noah is a fantastic biblical name and despite becoming popular feels refreshing. A lovely choice. Noah Luke sounds great.
Theo - a lovely elegant name. Theo is handsome, has a lot of character and feels very dignified. Theo wouldn't work with your surname though. The run of the letter 'o' is just unappealing.
Clancy - I prefer stronger names with stronger sounds. Maybe I strive for a need for slightly more modern choices concerning my boy's names. I don't know but for me Clancy doesn't fit the bill.
Finlay - I really like both Finley/Finlay it's just a wholesome, sweet name with a great sound. Finlay is a refreshing choice.
Eric - I like this name, it's retro but sound really strong and has an effortless sound. Eric is just a cool name! A strong classic that works well.
John - I really love John it's a handsome choice which seems to be really refreshing on a young infant as John seems to dying down in usage. I really like this name.

The world of racing has sadly lost another shining figure today as Marco Simoncelli succumbed to serious injuries sustained in a crash during the second lap of the MotoGP race at Sepang.
The Italian lowsided at turn 11 and tried to hold on to his Gresini Honda, but was unfortunately pushed back to the middle of the track where he was struck by Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi who couldn't avoid him anymore. Simoncelli lost his helmet in the horrific crash and the race was immediately red-flagged and subsequently cancelled as the circuit's medical personnel tried their best to save his life. Sadly it was to no avail and it's been officially confirmed that Simoncelli passed away at 16.56 local time.
We'd like to send our condolences to the family and friends of Marco and a lot of strength in this terrible time. Rest in peace, Marco.

Ceasefire Questions Grow as Israel Denies Hamas Claim on Fishing Deal
Israeli Forces Didn't Attack Fishermen, But Insist '3 Mile Limit' Remains
More questions about the exact terms and status of the Gaza Strip ceasefire emerged today with Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev loudly denying claims that Israel had ever agreed to ease their crackdown on fishing by Gazans.
Hamas had reported yesterday that the truce included an agreement to allow Gazans to fish in the six miles off of their own coast, double what the Israeli Navy had previously allowed and a major opportunity for the tiny strip to solve the constant state of food insecurity the Israeli siege has created.
Despite Regev's denials, fishermen reportedly were able to go outside of the previous limit without being killed, as they so often have in the past. Regev's comments also denied several other key points of the truce, leaving major questions about its status.
Indeed, Regev maintained that the truce was only a mutual cessation of fire, and that no issues related to the blockade were even brought up, saying that they would be settled later in Israeli negotiations with Egypt.
In the meantime, Gaza fishermen seem to be eagerly moving outward, though they say that most of the best fishing off the sandy coast of Gaza is 15 miles out, still far outside of their reach at any rate.

They can't even fish in their own fucking backyard.
And why is silent the Dictator of a dictatorship called Egypt?
For brokered by such a Western backed dictatorship was
the peace treaty, back-stabbers that they be.
Such is the master-slave relationship Gaza must suffer with its
invaders, a peace treaty not in writing, peace only as the
enslavers preceive it to be.
Surprise, surprise zionists already backtrack on their agreement, before the ink has dried!
Normally, everyone enjoys 12 miles of waters off their coast before it becomes international. I wonder why Gaza only has 3?
There's an oil rig that Israel lays claim to 3.5 miles off the Gazan coast.
check the number of killings, woundings, etc since the "truce" on the first page & a half of links here – http://www.imemc.org/ – and ask what if the palestinians were perpetrating these acts, plus:
Police order Palestinian workers off buses to West Bank, at request of
Israeli settlers
Police have begun ordering Palestinian laborers with legal work permits off
buses from the Tel Aviv area to the West Bank, following complaints from
settlers that Palestinians pose a security risk by riding the same buses as them… http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/pol…

• Box Score | Box Score
STATESBORO, Ga.-The Wisconsin volleyball team won its ninth straight match and improved to 11-1 on the season with a 25-17, 25-22, 25-22 win over Jacksonville on Saturday morning. The Badgers swept their eighth opponent of the season and improved to 3-0 at the Georgia Southern Eagle Invitational.
"Having come off a five gamer last night, it was not easy to start the day but they came through and got the win," said head coach Pete, who needs only one more win for career victory No. 300 at Wisconsin.
"It was good to see Ellen Chapman get her offense back on track and it was good to see Mary Ording have a good outing offensively. Kt Kvas did a good job setting the offense most of the time."
