You got numbers on those previous years?
Did they keep numbers 40, 50 years ago? Thank you lawyers, because facts suck!
Facts do suck AD, and you can thank your local lawyer for compiling those facts. Without them you wouldn't even be able to bandy about any numbers.
Come back when you grow up, you are still living in your paper-doll world... Livin' ain't easy there nature boy.

I'm sorry for the loss of your brother, but I find it disgusting that you charge the reason doctors do the best job they can is to avoid lawsuits, and that this fear justifies the existence of trial lawyers who file frivelous lawsuits. When my son was born prematurely, I guarantee you the neonatal intensive care staff who assembled at a moments notice to take care of his first hours were more driven by compassion for a baby's life than fear of some lawyer.
You think they would have in say the 1960's?... If you think so, you gotta be dreaming.
Like I said dream on... What you explain is the product of the years and A TEAM BEING there. Ya, the compassion is there... What if the teams of neonatalogists weren't assembled like in the old days?
Here is another one:
My mother went into labor with my older sister in 1963, she entered Sister's Hospital at 11:50... You know what the nurse that was on staff that evening did?
Helped her to a gurny, crossed her legs and said: "Hang on sweetie, the next crew comes in at 12:00"... NO FREAKIN' KIDDING!...

Are these vets and I guess you guys so thinned skinned that coming back and having one of your fellow soldiers complain/protest actually affects them? I guess some real crazy crap went on that they just can't come to terms with.
So what? He kissed and told. Get a life and get over it.
I never spent a day in the military... Thank God... I just work for the Corps as a civilian... Pretty bizarre in itself!
My father always said, "Never, never go in the service, unless you need to or after college". Guess what dad? I went to UB for four years and landed a job with the USACE.
All you gung-ho types... I guess Iraq is pretty FUBAR'ed... They are looking for bodies left and right... Fellow employee just got back, and they already called him and asked if he wanted to be re-deployed. No thanks...
It is the wild west out there boyzzz, go for it!

Ahhh... Touche Dan...
Yet he did mention that the hole was in the sidewall, way too high for all the water to drain out... Running a couple 5/8" holes through the middle of the tread pattern should throughly drain the buggers.

It is all George Bush's fault for letting people take more money home that they earned! That is such an unforgivable idea! You don't work for yourself and your family you work for the government to take your money--everybody knows that. We, on average work close to six months to pay our tax bill--maybe we should work 9 months to pay it off before we actually get the money we earn.
Lets not pay any taxes at all. Maybe a you can skip using the infrastructure to get to your job. A horse and buggy works great for making house-calls.

I corrected it for you. I do admit, you have a fairly subjective little missive there. I am glad I can help.

Ya, and return to the days when:
My younger brother was born in 1969 with underdeveloped lungs. My father asked why was he so blue, the doctor replied, "That's normal, a lot of babies are like that". My father didn't question him, afterall, he was the doctor?
One day later he died. For that day, he gasped for air in his underdeveloped lungs. My mother was still in the hospital, when my father laid him to rest. A stryrofoam casket served the purpose, they didn't even have a casket small enough.
Today, the problem would have been caught right away and noticed by the doctor/neonatalogist (spelling). He would be alive.
It is called competition, the lawyers sure can bring the quality out! Without them, would you have any "performance monitoring" in the health profession?
My daughter was born through C-section, her older brother too. With my son, it was an emergency. My daughter came out swallowing some fluid and had difficulty breathing for a second... The doctors sure jumped to action... I guess that is a good thing. I often wonder how things would have been different in 1969... You know the "good 'ole days"...???

Even if it did work and hold air, you run the almost certain risk of a blow out. It would rip right through the wall.
If it is questionably close to the sidewall and still on the tread a little... You can patch it and use it for a spare. If that is the case, I would not go crazy driving on it and try to get the permanent tire on ASAP.
I plug all the time on the tread portion, never had a plug fail there. I carry plugs, the plug tool/ream awl, and a can of vulcanizing glue in my cars... I have even been known to plug the tire right on the vehicle... Great if it is the front weel, you can turn the wheels. A portable air pump (12 DC) woks great to put air in it.
Again, never had a plug fail.
Just trash the tire with the sidewall damage.
They make great tire swings... Don't forget to put a rain drain hole in it... Avoids West Nile!...
Good luck

Want a little chesse to go with this whine? You'd probably dig the "Fromunda"?
Bahwahaaa...

People just don't know. I find it offensive also. Sign of the times and the lazy world we live in.

9.3-9.6 region. Second-biggest on record (there was one off the coast of Chile that was bigger).
Of course, the Richter scale is exponential, so that range of 0.3 I gave represents a HUGE difference in the energy of the quake (a 9.6 is going to be about 3 times worse than a 9.3). And from what I understand, a 10.0 is theoretically impossible; when the quake energy gets that big, it basically ripping continental plates apart.
Magnitude 6 earthquakes fall under that "Things I'd like to experience just once as long as I'm just visiting" category for me. Above 7...forget about it. I ain't stupid.
Hay Tom, did you see where they are trying to surf 100 foot waves (of course using "tow-in" techniques that involve high speed jetskis)?
The Billabong company has put out a "bounty" for anybody who gets footage surfing one of the monster waves. I guess there are people who monitor events and storms throughtout the world, then can mobilize on a days notice to get to the "hot spots".
I guess when an event of great magnitude happens out at sea, the waves produced are big somewhere?
Freaking crazy

I don't think nothing will get AD to move out of his 3rd floor, penthouse suite in downtown Anchorage...
Afterall, why lose the view of Denali?

You mean there are two things up there that like to show off? Oh my!
You do live around that "Ring of Fire". Don't cry if you fall into the Gulf of Alaska!
Just kidding, hope all is safe!

What if the Media were conservatively biased?

Who says there has to be (objective journalism)? If there wasn't objective journalism from the conglomerates during your lifetime, I take there wasn't any ever in this country. Objective journalism is realtively a new concept in the last 90 years or so. We are just getting back to our roots... Who really cares? Who needs to care?
So what, let the media outlets polarize... Whipty do!
This is getting easier than shooting fish in a barrel.
I must of woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
