Keepers hold 12 panda cubs in a ceremony to mark their entry into the equivalent of panda kindergarten Saturday at the China Giant Panda Protection and Research Center in Wolong, southwestern China's Sichuan province. China's Giant Pandas are highly endangered but their cuddly image has helped to sustain efforts to save the species from extinction.

Standards change to hands-only CPR
HEALTH
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — You can skip the mouth-to-mouth breathing and just press on the chest to save a life.
In a major change, the American Heart Association said Monday that hands-only CPR — rapid, deep presses on the victim's chest until help arrives — works just as well as standard CPR for sudden cardiac arrest in adults.
Experts hope bystanders will now be more willing to jump in and help if they see someone suddenly collapse. Hands-only CPR is simpler and easier to remember and removes a big barrier for people skittish about the mouth-to-mouth breathing.
"You only have to do two things. Call 911 and push hard and fast on the middle of the person's chest," said Dr. Michael Sayre, an emergency medicine professor at Ohio State University who headed the committee that made the recommendation.
Hands-only CPR calls for uninterrupted chest presses — 100 a minute — until paramedics take over or an automated external defibrillator is available to restore a normal heart rhythm.
This action should be taken only for adults who unexpectedly collapse, stop breathing and are unresponsive. The odds are that the person is having cardiac arrest — the heart suddenly stops — which can occur after a heart attack or be caused by other heart problems. In such a case, the victim still has ample air in the lungs, and blood and compressions keep blood flowing to the brain, heart and other organs.
nating 30 presses with two quick breaths; those "unable or unwilling" to do the breaths could do presses alone.
Now the heart association has given equal standing to hands-only CPR. Those who have been trained in traditional cardiopulmonary resuscitation can still opt to use it.
A child who collapses is more likely to primarily have breathing problems — and in that case, mouth-to-mouth breathing should be used. That also applies to adults who suffer lack of oxygen from a near-drowning, drug overdose, or carbon monoxide poisoning. In these cases, people need mouth-to-mouth to get air into their lungs and bloodstream.
The CPR guidelines had been inching toward compression-only. The last update, in 2005, put more emphasis on chest pushes by alter-
But in either case, "Something is better than nothing." Said aave.
Sayre said the association took the unusual step of making the changes now — the next update wasn't due until 2010 — because three studies last year showed hands-only was as good as traditional CPR. Hands-only will be added to CPR training.

Israeli projects urge peace talks with Rice

AMMAN, Jordan — Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met with top Israeli and Palestinian negotiators on Monday before heading for a final session with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Jordan as she wraps up a three-day mission intended to reinvigorate Mideast peace talks.
peace talks were renewed.
The U.S. has been urging Israel to halt construction in east Jerusalem and West Bank, areas claimed by the Palestinians. Israeli construction projects in the disputed areas have sparked a series of crises in the peace negotiations, prompting the Palestinians at one point to suspend negotiations.
The trip came as Israel's Peace Now announced that the Defense Ministry has approved plans to build 946 homes in the West Bank since last November's peace summit in Annapolis, Md. In east Jerusalem, Peace Now said the government has given final approval for at least 750 homes in east Jerusalem since the
"President Abbas told Rice this is the most dangerous obstacle to peace," said Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat about settlements. He said otherwise the meetings went "fine."
