NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The rich are getting richer, and that extends to digital advertising.
Among the many losers are print newspapers, magazines and even television broadcasters, desperate to get more of their revenue from digital ad sales. The winners are well known: Google
Considering the slew of competing online entertainment and news sites, that's a huge number indeed.
First three months of 2013, digital advertising sales at the New York Times Co.
Newspaper companies are keen to replace declining advertising sales with circulation growth, i.e., online subscriber sales. Last year, the Times did just that: subscriber sales surged 10% helping to offset a 6% drop in advertising sales. For the first quarter, circulation sales rose 6.5% but not enough to offset declines in advertising.
"Even though the circulation push has been a big success, this was a major setback," Doctor said. "This widespread advertising decline is making that strategy insufficient to find growth."
The New York Times along with magazines and TV broadcasters, are caught in two painful trends. One is that advertising money continues to go to digital from print, and an increasingly larger percentage of that digital ad money is still going to Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Facebook and AOL.
Doctor calculates that the Big Five are capturing an additional 1% to 2% more of the digital advertising pie each year. (Google accounts for about 41% of all digital advertising alone.) That's a disturbing trend even as digital ad sales nationally are growing at about 15% per year.
"The Times last quarter lost market share of digital advertising," Doctor said in a phone interview yesterday from Santa Cruz, Calif. pointing to the company's 4% decline in digital ad sales. "Newspapers and all traditional media, are getting a smaller segment of digital, which is the one area experiencing the fastest growth."
The Times isn't alone in struggling to corral more digital advertising. Yet for newspapers that trend is especially concerning given that its former cash cow, classifieds, have long since scattered to Internet sites far and wide.
Everyone wants a piece of digital ad sales, and that's because that's where the eyeballs are going, or at least those in the 18- to 49-year-old set.
Sam Decker, who runs Mass Relevance, an Austin, Texas-based digital advertising agency that focuses on the benefits of social media, says traditional newspaper, magazine and TV broadcasters are in the midst of an historic transition that is sure to have its fits and starts as well as winners and losers. The Big Five retain the bulk of the share, Decker said, largely because they were the first to do it.
"There's this migration from print to digital and TV to digital in which these companies are learning how to present themselves to be considered by digital ad buyers," Decker said. "But ads presented by Google or Facebook often use a very standard execution. Publishers have a great opportunity to present their news and content in ways that offer very unique experiences."
The Times' report isn't all doom and gloom. The newspaper company continues to gain more online subscribers, and plans to offer lower-priced Web site packages to readers who don't want access beyond the core daily news.
Additionally, the Times aims to increase its global reach by re-branding the International Herald Tribune as the International New York Times, and to further emphasize its videos. Indeed, video advertising has been a success, and for that reason, the newspaper has taken down its paywall for video.
"This was just one quarter, so nothing is definitive," doctor said. "But the trend is clear, and it's one-way, though the depth of that trend is unclear."
New York Times shares fell 5.6% on Friday to close at $8.92.

The heat is on. The Left has tried do destroy the NRA for the past 100 years. We will take our hits and stay in the fight. The GOA and Larry Pratt are staying in deep cover. The Pratt Family owned private company GOA does not have elected officers and they are family members. The GOA could should risk a few family dollars and stand beside the 4 million NRA members who are under heavy fire. I hope the Pratt Family reads this.
I think armed security at the school level can help prevent some violent attacks. Someone hellbent on taking out folks before they die? How do you really stop that? I don't agree that the schools should be full of conceal carriers. These folks are teachers, not security guards. Anyone who thinks that arming the damned teacher's union is a good idea needs to rethink their position - seriously! The NRA (I am a member) needs to take s good look at itself. To take the position that we can't review the general safety and potential hazards of certain types if weapons is not good IMHO. There is a reason we can't have hand grenades and F-16 fighter jets, perhaps that reasoning may, at some point in time, apply to certain weaponry. Case in point - what the heck does anyone need Barrett 50 cal for? And if you can have the Barrett, why not chain-gun? Not an easy issue, drawing these boundaries.
The NRA are the ONLY ones offering any logical plan of action, that's why I donated.
The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory. - Col. Jeff Cooper.
If every anti gun crusader went out and stood as a crossing guard, or fought to reduce speed in school/residential areas, they'd save more children's lives than by removing all guns from the country. Don't kid yourselves for a minute, this isn't about saving lives, or preventing massacres. It's about taking guns and taking control. How coincidental that the anti gunners are conveniently big government control freaks, the ones that don't stop at the guns, but demand the government have a say in what you eat, and what you listen to.
Arbitrary enforcement of the law is the mark of tyranny. Citizens will always fight against it.
Who needs a .50 Caliber rifle? Well that was the antigun disarm America propaganda of the 1960s. Before 1968 there were no limits on the caliber size of weapons owned by free men. The Liberals were able to Ban ownership of any modern firearms larger than a .50 caliber. They wanted to ban anything larger than a .45 caliber. Why does anyone need a .50 caliber? How often are .50 caliber rifles used in crime? By that reasoning would you Ban the .22 rim fires which are used in crimes very often? Being pro gun and asking the old antigun question"Why does anyone need that"? Makes me wonder?

It's hard to answer that question. There are good and bad bugs. RSV and Rhinovirus (viruses causing the common cold and respiratory infections), for example, are known to increase the risk for development of asthma in the future. However, exposure to hepatitis virus and intestinal parasites – which are serious health threats - were shown to prevent development of allergies.
It probably is not wise to expose children to dangerous pathogens for prevention of allergies, but in my opinion, the evidence supporting a hygiene hypothesis does suggest that we could probably allow ourselves to be a little more relaxed about hygiene. This would include not using antibacterial soaps all the time, and not wiping our children's hands constantly with disinfecting wipes—since the use of antibacterial cleaning products has also been associated with higher incidence of asthma.
Antibiotics wipe out bugs. By the hygiene hypothesis, does that increase risk of allergies?
Are pets in the home good or bad?
Studies seem to show that living with pets early in life may actually protective for development of allergies. Dogs seem to be better for allergy prevention than cats. Of course the best preventative outcomes were observed in children who grew up on farms with exposure to cattle and other barn animals. Several researchers concluded that organisms in cattle dust and manure may be the stimuli that their immune systems needed to prevent asthma.
The hygiene hypothesis can only account partly for the increase in allergies. There is also a genetic component which influences why certain people will develop allergies, but others will not despite living under the same circumstances. An approach to examine the allergy epidemic from different angles, epidemiologic and genetic, is only recently starting and produces fascinating results on the effect particular gene-environment interactions might have in the development of allergy. The most important point is that thousands and millions of separate risk factors act in concordance in the development of allergies.

Dear editor,
97% of scientists agree about climate change.
A review of 12,000 papers on climate change, in the May 15th issue of "Environmental Research Letters", found that 97 percent of scientists attribute climate change to human activities. Although we're unlikely to reverse climate change, we can mitigate its effects by reducing our driving, energy use, and meat consumption.
Yes, meat consumption. A 2006 U.N. report estimated that meat consumption accounts for 18 percent of man-made greenhouse gases. A 2009 article in the respected World Watch magazine suggested that it may be closer to 50 percent.
Carbon dioxide, the principal greenhouse gas, is generated by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to confine, feed, transport, and slaughter animals. The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are discharged from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively.
Each of us has the power to reduce the devastating effects of climate change every time we eat. Our local supermarket offers a rich variety of soy-based lunch meats, hotdogs, veggie burgers and soy and nut-based dairy products, as well as an ample selection of vegetables, fruits, grains, and nuts. Product lists, easy recipes, and transition tips are at www.livevegan.org.

Samsung ships curved OLED TV in US for about $9,000
Samsung Electronics America has started shipping its first curved OLED TV, pricing it at US$8,999.99 and making it available through specialty retailers in the U.S.
Samsung Electronics America has started shipping its first curved OLED TV, pricing it at US$8,999.99 and making it available through specialty retailers in the U.S.
The U.S. International Trade Commission has determined that Samsung infringed two smartphone patents held by Apple and that therefore some of its phones should be blocked from importation to the U.S.
Samsung has launched an ATIV Book 9 Plus laptop with Intel's latest Haswell chip that will be available for $US1400, but analysts said such sustained high prices for laptops and ultrabooks could hinder the recovery of the PC market.
A U.S. District Court judge made mistakes when she rejected Apple's request for a sales injunction against rival Samsung Electronics in a multimillion-dollar patent infringement case, Apple's lawyer argued before an appeals court Friday.
Samsung has bought German organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology developer Novaled, in a bet on the next-generation technology for digital displays.
Samsung Electronics faces the possibility of U.S. import bans on some of its smartphones in two separate cases brought by Apple, with major steps happening Friday.
Samsung has laid the groundwork for its potential entry into the much-hyped smart-watch market, by filing an application for a US trademark on the name "Samsung Galaxy Gear."
Samsung has started making flash storage chips that it claims will be twice as fast and up to 10 times more durable than the current flash storage used in mobile devices.
The Obama administration has vetoed a decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission to ban the import of certain Apple products to the U.S. on the grounds they infringed a Samsung Electronics technology patent.
A Samsung eight-core chip used in some Galaxy S4 smartphone models is now available for hackers to play with on a developer board from South Korea-based Hardkernel.
The United States International Trade Commission expects to complete its investigation into allegations of patent infringement between Apple and Samsung at the end of next week, it said Thursday.
Samsung is reportedly in talks to acquire German organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology developer Novaled.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has rejected claims of an Apple patent that figures prominently in a patent infringement lawsuit against Samsung Electronics, according to documents filed by the South Korean company in a U.S. federal court.
Tech earnings this week highlighted the importance of mobile communications to IT, as companies including Apple, Samsung, Facebook, AT&T and Texas Instruments reported mixed results for the quarter ending in June.
Apple's share of the smartphone market dropped in the second quarter to its lowest level in three years, research firm Strategy Analytics said.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

He was 54. Friends recall Tom Schweich as smart and tough Missouri and the nation react to the death of Tom Schweich Tom Schweich's death is a loss for Missouri
Government & Politics Some Kansas senators ask if opportunity zones are the best way to help rural areas Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, a Shawnee Republican, said senators need a "bigger picture" to evaluate whether the program is striking the right balance in fostering public vs. private growth.

Make a difference in the challenge to confront global warming and prevent nuclear war and the development and use of nuclear weapons.
If you are a health professional, add your name now to the letter to President Obama.
After three years of negotiation, President Bush has signed an agreement that would open up nuclear trade with India for the first time since New Delhi conducted a nuclear test three decades ago, reversing 34 years of U.S. policy opposing nuclear cooperation with nations outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) regime. Yet, this deal will not be implemented without the signature of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. Read more »
Turkey would be a great partner for a nuclear energy supply arrangement from the West, but growing instabilities in Western relations and on Turkey's southern Iraqi boarder, may turn Turkey to Iran for increased energy security. Read more »
By starting off last week with articles which poked fun at the Iranians for spelling mistakes and negotiating tactics, and ending the week with false claims that Iran planned to halt negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the press is hurting efforts to reduce tension in both US-Iranian relations and the greater dialogue between Iran and the International Community. Read more »
In the next two months, the nuclear watch dog agency in Vienna will attempt to unveil details about the Syrian reactor bombed by Israel last year. Syria claims it intended to build a purely peaceful nuclear program to meet rising energy needs, but the United States and Israel maintain that Syria intended to build bombs. Read more »
Rhetoric and threat propaganda on Iran need to stop if we are to make peace with the nation. There is absolutely nothing new to Iran's nuclear achievements which would demonstrate that the Iranians have enriched low grade fuel closer to bomb grade levels. The international community cannot stop Iran from having a nuclear energy capability. However, it can drive Iran to becoming a nuclear weapon state by continually typecasting the nation as a threat and increasing the nations insecurity. Read more »
Italy now seeks a stronger position in negotiations over Iran, but is hitting resistance from key players like the United States and Germany. Regardless of the outcome, due to strong economic ties, Italy will continue to play an important role in resolving the Iran crisis. With the rise of Italy's recently elected Prime Minster, Silvio Berlusconi, a harder stance on Iran has emerged with hope that Italy will win a seat at the P5+1 negotiating table. "Now Italy will push forward to be really in the club on Iran...Italy will not be left isolated by a restricted group of European partners plus the US," stated Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini in May. Read more »
Acknowledging the failure of the Bush Administration's current Iran policy and the need to surface new policies which will reduce the chance of another conflict in the Middle East, US Representative Gary Ackerman (NY-D), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Middle East and South Asia held a hearing entitled, "More Than Just Enrichment: Iran's Strategic Aspirations and the Future of the Middle East" June 5. Read more »
With a new international watch dog report out on the nation, tension heightens between Iran and the international community pointing to the immediate need for a new policy of engagement…one without preconditions. In 2003, Iran provoked international outcry with the exposure of a clandestine nuclear program. While the United States dismissed a chance to negotiate with Iran over this issue, the EU-3 (France, Germany and the United Kingdom) decided on a policy of engagement. Read more »
The United States needs to stop focusing on a policy which includes: sanctions, preconditions and threats of attack. A new US policy must include direct engagement, in order to successfully swap incentives for concessions. This new policy must be future oriented, so to deal successfully with future threats to the nuclear nonproliferation regime. Read more »
The National Intelligence Estimate (November 2007) proclaimed that Iran stopped a nuclear weapons program in 2003, undermining Bush Administration claims that Iran is an imminent threat to US and international security due to its nuclear program. The US military recently changed Iran threat rhetoric in the media, asserting costly and threatening Iranian involvement in Iraq, allegations corroborated by...nothing. Read more »

Need to Permanently DELETE "uninstalled" apps in App World
I found some old posts that say this is not possible. However, I really need to do this, and am hoping there is a work-around, given recent software updates for the Playbook.
When an application is deleted by the user, it goes to the uninstalled apps section of my world, so that you can reinstall without charge if you change your mind later.
However, you may have lots of free apps that were only used for a short try-out period (perhaps only a few minutes) before deleting that you want to permanently get rid of.
I'm willing to do a complete wipe and reinstall if necessary (although I've never done that before), but I think that since this is all tied to your blackberry ID that it wouldn't solve the problem. -
Wiping the Playbook will not help, as you said it is tied to your account. From what I remember, there was a way to erase everything from the uninstalled list, but RIM has removed that feature.
Wish it was possible but sadly no. It doesn't fill up your playbook once you delete it...it just remains in a list of choices on AppWorld.
- 06-10-12, 04:05 PM Thread Author #5
This is sort of like a web browser, where you cannot delete your browsing history, except they *all* let you delete the history.
For every person that downloaded some shady app that they now want to hide, there's someone who accidentally deleted something and they are happy to see those on their list... Can't please everyone sometimes
How would having uninstalled apps showing on your AppWorld account have anything to do with the files on your PB? In fact, they way it is designed actually HELPS you from filling up your PB. You can delete big apps you currently aren't using and reinstall them when you want them..."Distrust and caution are the parents of security." -Benjamin Franklin - 06-10-12, 06:28 PM #8
How often do you guys scroll through your uninstalled apps?
"Distrust and caution are the parents of security." -Benjamin Franklin - 06-10-12, 06:58 PM #10
did you delete some porn books or something?
No, what happened is that when the playbook first came out, I went through a bunch of crap apps (that people probably just wrote to get a free Playbook, and never looked at the code again) while I was looking for some useful ones. Now there is a large amount of junk in my list that I will NEVER load again, and would be happy not to have to look at again. It's not a big deal, and I don't scroll through it that often, but I do tend to wipe when I load a new PB OS, or Developer beta, and have to sort through that list each time to reload what I want. It just would be nice to be able to hide apps that you know you are done with because they have become obsolete, or were never what they should have been from the beginning.
Fair enough? - 06-11-12, 01:01 AM #12
I agree it is annoying but it doesn't take space...try this: Turn off both WiFi and BT then open App World. The only thing visible is what is installed. The database is not on your device it is on App World servers. I know this doesn't help with the annoying part but at least you know its not wasting space on your PB.

A very simple fix for this could be for RIM to permanently delete uninstalled "free" apps, but let you get back "paid" apps.
There really is no valid reason to retain the deleted free apps.
If the upcoming BB10 is to be successful, then RIM really needs to take care of all of these loose ends. - 06-11-12, 05:26 PM #15
Good luck finding 'big apps' you want to re-install in a sea of 100's of apps.
Imagine if I downloaded every free app in appworld just to try out. It's be a pain in the tush to scroll through the uninstalled apps list just to find the apps you really want to reinstall.
What I don't get is that on a BB Phone, you can 'hide' uninstalled apps but no on the Playbook.Last edited by narci; 06-11-12 at 05:33 PM.
Ron I'm so glad you are such an expert on what would make BB10 successful...I was worried there for a moment. I guess you don't have a BlackBerry phone because the phone does the same thing from BB 4 thru 7 but they haven't been successful either in by your standards.
BTW the deleted apps are not retained just a text only record on the App World server in your account. But I'm sure you don't like that either..______________________________________

There should be a way to delete that list. I understand the argument that its there incase you accidently delete and app or you wipe your device you can easily add programs back.
BUT you should be able to delete your uninstalled list. Kind of like a recycling bin on your pc. You have to delete it twice. Once from your documents and then from the trash bin.
I tried many apps over the years and many of them I know for certain I will not install again. I'd like to remove them permantly. - 06-12-12, 10:05 AM #19
They really need to enact being able to remove an uninstalled app from the list. One time my GF accidentally wiped her PB with DM thinking she was updating it. I went to help restore what she had and it was terrible because she must have downloaded over 100 apps, trying them and then uninstalling them. Having to search through that laundry list to find the ones she wanted was a nightmare. Everytime you choose to re-install an app, you get bumped back to the top of the list and have to scroll back down again. It's one of the reasons why I'm hesitant to try an app unless I'm reasonably sure I'll like it.
- 06-12-12, 10:41 AM Thread Author #20
I have about 5 apps that I consider important and will retain, and expect that I may find another 5 very useful apps per year over the next 4-years. That means after 5-years, I may have a total of 25 apps installed.
However, I also like to try "free" apps -- perhaps even 3 per day (or 1,000 per year)! -- but that means I'll have only 25 installed apps after 5-years that I want to keep, but 5,000 uninstalled apps that RIM will continue to display in my app world.
This discourages people from trying free apps, and is really not needed. When I had an HP Touchpad, I could delete an app for good, but if I went to reinstall later, the app store would remember that I had paid for it previously, and not charge me for the reinstall. That's all I want; seems pretty simple (no attacks needed). - 06-12-12, 11:13 AM #21
There should be a way to hide items on the uninstalled list OR delete them at the customer's choice. Shouldn't be hard for RIM to add this functionality.
Rich C.
It would be nice, but are people really NOT trying apps because if they don't like them, it will be on the Uninstalled list? Really?? What if you DO like it? How often is this actually impacting you?

It is just another example of programming sloppiness. We should be able to clean up the list - it is that simple.
It is not a big deal but it is obvious there are users who would like this feature, including me.
It would be nice to have the option for those that feel it is important. Those that do not will not need to use it. -

Parasite worms way into adopted retriever - 0 Comments
Dear Dr. John,
I am writing to seek what I guess is a third opinion.
I adopted a dog about a year ago who is a healthy, slightly overweight retriever mutt. I had the dog taken to a local vet, who diagnosed heartworm. She said the test was reliable and that I should think about treatment — but it is crazy expensive!

Thank you for this glimpse of my neighbor Sharon Erickson, whose gardening passion is a boon to us all, and great metaphor for her nurturing spirit. Our basil plants came from her greenhouse this year, and her surplus zinnias were an extra bonusthey're just starting to bloom now, since the spring annuals have given up. Sharon is a gardening evangelist, not even by design, I think, just by her nature.

CrescentParkAnon, yes, you can have chickens & other livestock in Palo Alto:
From Web Link
Livestock and other animals
You'll need a permit to keep any type of livestock, including horses, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and turkeys in Palo Alto. Geese, roosters, guinea hens, and peacocks are not allowed, except in areas zoned for agriculture or open space. There are special provisions for keeping more than six chickens, in addition to these rules. Check with the Superintendent of Animal Services for poultry livestock permits.

Benjamin Leroux's mother, Chantal, is a legendary cook in Burgundy. She cooks for her son during the harvest and always makes this outstanding savory tarte Tatin. The flaky pastry (made in a food processor) topped with glazed endives is extremely adaptable: Try asparagus or fennel in place of the endives.

What do you guys think about carrying more "full-featured" rescue tools like these instead of knives?
New American Truth Magazine - A Contemporary Common Sense Publication
My rescue knife when I was working was and is my Al Mar SERE 2000. I cut people out of seat belts, cut down hanging victims down, all kinds of stuff. What I never did with it was break a window.
Who are they marketing these tools too? Not the fireman, he has dedicated tools for the job. If it is for police and citizens they really need to do a better job of emphasizing the need to wear gloves when you use these or you will shred you hands. The best way to break a window is to snap an antenna against it.- George
You are a old school man Mr George. Aim for the corner and turn your head. I love to use a center punch. Normally carry one around in each of my cars. They have many uses. You could also use old spark plug or polcelian tile to break a window.
Many years ago going home from work late at night with Mom and Dad on highway doing 55+ just looking out the side window as we are talking about work. Something catches my eye for a 1/2 second.
So quick that I am not sure what I saw. I think it is a blinking light. I have my father get off next exit and loop back around and turn around again. We stop the car at the spot that I thought I saw the light. I jump out and see a overturned car.
It turns out a old man driving a Taurus make a 90 degree turn right into a the guard rail and blows out the headlights, flips the car over the guard rail into really really tall grass. You could not even see the car. I must of caught the last blink of the turn signal before bulb burnt out.
All doors and locked and the OM is hanging from seat belt upside down. I grab the tire iron out of the trunk of our car, as parents dial 911. Jump back into the grass, I blow out the rear passanger window. I take off my shirt throw it onto the broken glass and crawl inside to turn off the key and see if he is OK.
Police and EMS show up, I step out of picture so the Pros can do their thing. Few days later I wake up with poision ivy on arms, chest and back. Next time I keep shirt on and center punch in the car.
Some of the ones I've used at work:
TheFireStore.com: RES-Q-ME Personal rescue key chain size tool
(currently in the cars of all my family members)
(currently in my gear bag at the FD)
CHOATE Machine & Tool, Inc. - Car Rescue Tool
(Got one at SHOT, wrote a review on it somewhere, Don't need it much myself, but the family up north might)
My feeling is you can make anything work, use whatever you want, just keep it where you can get to it. It's worthless in your "old knife and holster and magazines for guns you don't own anymore" drawer. The ResQme is issued to every state trooper, and I keep it looped around the turn signal lever on a piece of 550 cord.
My entry tool of choice for, glass, metal, doors, skulls...ya know...whatever. If I am not on an airplane this is in my Bag of Evil.
Precision glass cutting with RMJ Shrike | Modern Combative Systems Blog
I don't see how I could use the tool in a self-defense situation, unless I throw it at the BG. I would keep one in the car for an emergency, but for defense I prefer to carry a knife.

TheFireStore.com: Gerber: Hinderer Firefighter Rescue Knife, Serrated Blade
I like this but don't have any special knife. Why are all the cool toys so expensive?
"Each worker carried his sword strapped to his side." Nehemiah 4:18
Guns Save Lives. Paramedics Save Lives. But...
Paramedics With Guns Scare People!
Kershaw Blur comes in a rescue model. Also the Sog Flash 2 comes in a rescue which is still a very effective utility and SD knife if its the only one you carry. The COP TOOL is decent from boker, Wilson makes one in the tanto style blade. I think at some point if you have to carry only a rescue tool it becomes an improvised weapons issue.
"Put on the whole armor of God..."
Very true. Ive often looked at various rescue knives and often thought... "I already have all this stuff in my turnout coat, on my helmet, or right in the rescue truck." Although it wouldnt be bad to have in case I come across an accident while driving. But as you also mentioned you need gloves or you yourself will become a patient. Overall I cant justify the expense of some of these specialized knives.
Just in case anyone was interested to know, the glass dust created while cutting through a windshield can be VERY irritating to anyone in the vehicle. (Ask me how I know )

Braves starter Paul Maholm has been a bright spot since being added to the rotation last year. But Maholm's future wasn't always so bright after he was struck in the face by a line drive during his rookie season in the minors. Maholm needed multiple surgeries and months of rehab, but he returned and has gone on to a nice MLB career.
Stories this photo appears in:
Braves' Maholm only has outside scars from line-drive hit to the face nine years ago
Braves starter Paul Maholm's career could've ended nine years ago this week when he was struck in the face by a line drive and seriously hurt, but he not only returned to the field, he's become one of Major League Baseball's most baffling pitchers to figure out.

Well recently I had a miscarriage/d&e on October 9th due to the baby just *dying* at 9 weeks nd 3 days and she had a heart beat of 167.. I pretty much fell into depressed state for awhile.. Three months later on dec 29th got my BFP and taking progesterone suppositories three times a day well got my first ultrasound and blood work at 5w 5days 4,090 and the baby had a heartbeat, fetal pole, and sac.. Doc wanted another blood work 48 hours later and my hcg was 6101.. He said he can't say if I'm gonna loose it but they aren't doubling but rising.. Does anyone have any advice or past experiences that can help me til this week when I get the next ultrasound at 6w and 4 days
Might loose the baby.. Any advice would help

I agree with pp, and I am so sorry for your previous loss. Rising is bette than nothing, and for as far along as you are those numbers are still good. I wish doctors could be more sensitive, my progesterone was at 7 and lowering this week and I saw no baby at all at 5 weeks 6 days, but my dr was so awesome and didn't say one thing to worry me. The only thing you can do is relax, and I know it's easier said than done, please do not work yourself up. Google can be the devil during early pregnancy, stay here for support! Best of luck

If I have learned anything with being pregnant is that ANYTHING is possible! It ain't over 't'il its over! I know this is difficult I'm sorry. But don't give up hope.

You're not alone. Im 6wks6d and I heard my Dr say my hcg was in the 5,000. (i couldnt remember) Im at risk to having a miscarriage.

Anything more than a 66% increase in 48 hours is normal. It doubles every 48-72 hours until a certain point, then it takes longer and longer

Tons of prayers, Mama!
Sometimes I wrestle with my demons.
Sometimes we just snuggle.

I agree! Its rising pretty steady. Shame on your dr for upsetting you! Never underestimate the power of positive thinking!!!! My dr never told me my #s with my son, ever! She just checked the heartbeat and went from there. There is no sense in worrying you! Good luck, you're in my thoughts!

We have lost four and have three that are healthy. Every m/c and every pregnancy was different. If you are a prayerful woman, then just pray to The Lord that he do what is right for you and your dear family and give him the pain and fear. Then, focus on your dear one with positive energy and love. Relax. Take baths. Go for silent walks in nature. Sing. Listen to music. Do everything you can to stay calm and positive because that is the best for you dear one. No matter what happens sweet friend, there is nothing that you can actively do but hope and pray. God bless and god speed the wait so you can have peace and closure either way.

I've just heard of way too many slower rising hcg cases that have ended up in healthy babies to have a ton of faith in those numbers! Praying for you.

But on the ground, there seems little appetite for such a compact.
