Folks,
This came in over the transom after twelve gadzillion forwards. I did a search for the source and came up with the following. Note that it says, "Call 911" which is fine if you have cell phone, but, still, what if ...? Anyway, check it out & make up your own mind.

This is pretty neat to know [not to mention potentially life-saving]!!!
CPR on Yourself -
Let's say it's 6:15 p.m. and you're driving home (alone of course), after an unusually hard day on the job. You're really tired, upset and frustrated. Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your home; unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.
What can you do? You've been trained in CPR but the guy that taught the course neglected to tell you how to perform it on yourself.
HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE (Since many people are alone when they suffer a heart attack, this article seemed in order.)
Without help, the person whose heart stops beating properly and who begins to feel faint, has only about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness. However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and very vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, and the cough must be deep and prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest. A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without let up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be beating normally again.
Deep breaths get oxygen into the lungs and coughing movements squeeze the heart and keep the blood circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it regain normal rhythm. In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
Tell as many other people as possible about this, it could save their lives!

With a vision of the future deeply rooted in the Cold War of the last century, the Department of Energy has unveiled plans for a new "National Security Complex" in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The plans are revealed in the first-ever Environmental Impact Statement for the Y-12 bomb plant; the EIS outlines the first step in what DOE plans to eventually build a brand new $4 billion dollar bomb plant. This is not just an Oak Ridge issue. This is not just a Tennessee issue. This is a world issue.

Dear Internet User,
- Subject: Boycott The "Reverse Domain Name Hijackers"
Date: Sun, 07 Jan 2001 21:42:00 -0500
From: Internet For The People
In an effort to prevent deep pocket corporations from taking control of the Internet by hijacking domain names from their rightful owners, particularly small businesses, we are taking it upon ourselves to bring a classic case of “Reverse Domain Name Hijacking” to the public and ask you to take a stand.
Uzi Nissan, an Israeli-American, is the founder and president of Nissan Computer Corp., incorporated in Raleigh, NC in 1991. Nissan registered the domain names NISSAN.COM in 1994 to help expand his computer business and NISSAN.NET in 1996 to provide Internet Services (ISP).
Recently, Nissan Motor Co Ltd. and Nissan North America, Inc. (the automaker), filed a lawsuit against Nissan Computer Corp. for owning NISSAN.COM and NISSAN.NET. They alleged trademark infringement and dilution in an attempt to bankrupt the Nissan Computer Company, and are now dragging them through federal court in their own back yard (Los Angeles).
Nissan’s last name has been in his family for more then seven generations and can be traced back to biblical days (identifying the seventh month in the Jewish calendar), long before Nissan Motors was in existence.
Nissan Computer Corp. has created a website dedicated to this matter at www.ncchelp.org Public awareness is the most effective way to fight back against these giant corporations. Our goal is to reach out and inform you, the public, of this ridiculous and bogus lawsuit.
TAKE A STAND
Visit www.ncchelp.org, read the complete story, the people's opinions and take a stand by:
1. Join the BOYCOTT movement already in progress against these hijackers. See what other concerned Internet users think.
2. Let your voice be heard in protest of this ridiculous and bogus lawsuit. by sending an email to these hijackers from: www.ncchelp.org/email
3. Email this important message to your friends, family and colleagues, and ask them to do the same.
4. Let your Congressmen and Senators know about this problem and your opinion.
YOU CAN HELP
Remember, it can happen to you or to someone you know. No domain name will be safe if these hijackers get their way. Every deep pocket entity will be able to use the court system to bankrupt legitimate small businesses and hijack their domain names.
Thanking you in advance for helping and taking a stand.
