This chart shows average North American temperatures for the past century, with the heavy line showing the rise since 1975. Let the politicians argue why - what concerns us is how to handle the changes.

As heat becomes oppressive, treasure hunting can become dangerous. So this is the perfect time to know that CPR rules have changed. It's a lot easier now - no breathing into the mouth of the victim, no switching activities while you work to save a life. Just chest compressions.

This show explains how you can give CPR without taking a course, and without carrying an instruction sheet in your wallet.

So invest less than three minutes to save a life. Listen to this show.

Please.

Looks like I'll have to update my CPR training. I have used it several times in the past and if there is an update on proceedures I want to keep current. Although no longer working with active rescue units I still have found that the training is possibly the most important thing you can learn. I recommend getting certified as soon as possible if you are not. Ask my wife if having a husband who knows lifesaving tecniques and CPR is important.

No joke, if you are not certified get off your butt and get-r-done!

The method I describe is for people who don't have the time (or won't take the time) to take a class. This explains it:

Interesting but I think that everyone should be trained in basic CPR. Disguingshing between differant types of medical problems and required action or non-action should be left to the pros. Someone doing anything is better than standing there doing nothing. My daughter expirenced this when her mother was choking at a restaurant and nobody knew what to do. Thanks to a kid behind the counter he managed to help her get enough air until the paramedics arrived. He had no idea other than to try to do something rather than watch a woman choke and die because he was not trained. Confusing the issue by adding more uncertain advice is only going to cause more people to fail to respond when chest compressions and breathing for the dying person may be the only hope he/she has to survive. Brain damage from lack of air is very fast and should not be triffled with. Do as much as you can as fast as you can. Save the person's life and then worry about broken ribs from compressions or some other complication. If the person dies it won't matter if you broke a rib. What will matter is that the person can be healed for broken bones or something lodged in the ariways. Dead is final! To late to wish you had tried something else.

Get CPR training, get first aid training and take a life saving course! And do it now! Everyone has the time to learn to save a life. It may be the life of one of your own kids, parents or friends. How would you feel if one of them was lying on the grass, sidewalk or schoolyard dying and you have no idea of how to do something as simple as CPR?

Turn around is fair play. Suppose it is you lying there and your kids, parents or a friend is standing there watching you die?
