aesquire --- The Civil War was not fought over slavery. Lincoln himself is known to have said "If I could save the union without freeing a single slave, I would do so; If I could save the union by freeing some slaves and not others, I would do so."
Just wanted to comment here on the protocols for canine CPR.
First always check for a clear airway! Clear out anything they are choking on or any vomit.
Do chest compressions at a rate of 120 per minute (as stupid as you'll feel, sing the song "Stayin' Alive" in your head -- it's the right tempo). Give one breath every 10 pumps.
If the dog is anything but a small dog, you want to do chest compressions NOT over their heart, but over the widest part of their ribs in the thorax area. (If you want a technical explanation for why, it is because the shape of the ribcage puts too much resistance right over their heart, and pushing on the widest part of the ribs drastically changes pressure within the chest cavity, pushing blood out and pulling it back in.)
Also keep in mind that you're using a lot of force and may feel like you're going to break the ribs. Broken ribs is better than dead, but the worst you're likely to do is some soft tissue damage.
Cats are very similar, but since they are small, you can do it directly over their heart. You can do it with both hands on the same side, or by holding their chest between two hands, whichever feels natural.
Also from the article: "Game promoters Monaco Corporation said they hired another marketing company to organise the event and had no idea that a gun would be used."
Two things. First, your "a" and "b" comments are mutually exclusive: either they do work, and they kill off good bacteria, or they don't work, and don't kill off good bacteria (the latter is true).
Second, alcohol-based hand sanitizers DO work if you leave them on your hands for 20-30 seconds, which isn't really such a horrible amount of time if you are about to eat and aren't near a sink to wash your hands.
Also, I heard about some neat technology that kills microbes on hands with some sort of harmless radiation. Only problem there would be the killing of the beneficial bacteria, but in a hospital setting that might be necessary. Also, no possibility of resistance.
This actually is great, for once. Using someone else's fame to spread awareness, and PAYING the person so it's legal! And it feeds her kids! Hooray! Happiness all around!

I liked these games. Just beat multi-ball, though getting some of the shots perfect was frustrating.

The original pain charts are very unrealistic, I agree.
