Mayo Clinic Presentation of Continuous Chest Compression CPR - Cardiocerebral Resuscitation
Cardiocerebral resuscitation (CCR) is a new approach to patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest that has been shown to improve rates of neurologically intact survival by 250%--300% over the approach advocated by the 2000 American Heart Association guidelines.

The Auschwitz Album is the only surviving visual evidence of the process of mass murder at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
It is a unique document and was donated to Yad Vashem by Lilly Jacob-Zelmanovic Meier.
The photos were taken at the end of May or beginning of June 1944, either by Ernst Hofmann or by Bernhard Walter, two SS men whose task was to take ID photos and fingerprints of the inmates (not of the Jews who were sent directly to the gas chambers).
The photos show the arrival of Hungarian Jews from Carpatho-Ruthenia.
Many of them came from the Berehovo Ghetto, which itself was a collecting point for Jews from several other small towns.

For about $40 a week, teenagers and young men watched roads in the Valley of Juárez looking out for police, the Mexican army or unfamiliar vehicles from a rival drug cartel.
For the same pay, they also carried out kidnappings and murders.
Members of the group, ages 14 to 34, were arrested by the Mexican army last week, accused of belonging to a cell of the Sinaloa drug cartel in the Valley of Juárez.
The case offers an insight into the Juárez drug war where life is cheap and killings are another day at work.
The cell operations were detailed in interviews of 10 suspects arrested that were included in a detailed 16-page account provided to the press by the Chihuahua state attorney general's office. Five of the 10 were age 17 or younger.

A quiet day at a South Texas RV park was interrupted Monday by gunfire.
Residents found themselves in the middle of a battle between border agents and suspects in Mexico.
The sounds of Bingo are common in the RV park, but Monday in Chimney Park south of Mission, Texas people heard sounds of a different kind.

In a pointed question the governor was asked whether he would ask Juárez mayor Reyes Ferriz to return to live in Juárez. The mayor has been criticized in some quarters for his recent move from El Paso to a new residence in Las Cruces, New Mexico, forty miles away, apparently for security reasons. The governor's response was that it was up to the people of Juarez to make this request, but in his own case he will reside in Juarez and not ...
EL PASO -- A resolution sponsored by city Reps. Steve Ortega and Beto O'Rourke would condemn the drug-related violence in Juárez and request that both the U.S. and Mexican governments take stronger action to end it.
The resolution also calls for the legalization of marijuana and having the U.S. government regulate and tax its sale. This has been a personal issue of O'Rourke's for several years.
"Keeping marijuana illegal allows these drug cartels to profit from its sales on the black market," he said.
The full City Council is considering the resolution at its meeting today.

A Border Patrol spokesman says agents patrolling the Rio Grande in south Texas fired rounds into Mexico after their boat was "bombarded" by objects from the Mexican side.
Jose Trevino said agents feared for their safety Monday morning when the objects hit the boat in the river that divides the U.S. and Mexico. The incident happened about 8 a.m. near the border city of McAllen, about 250 miles south of San Antonio.
Trevino said no injuries were reported, and he had no information on the type of objects that hit the boat.
Trevino also said he didn't know how many agents were on the boat or how many rounds they fired into Mexico.
The incident is under investigation.
