Red Cross can get you started
L earning cardiopulm onary resuscitation (C P R ) and how to
use an A utom ated External D efibrillator (A E D ) can quite p o ssi
bly m ean the difference betw een life and death for som eone
suffering from sudden cardiac arrest or other m edical em ergency.
The A m erican Red C ross encourages ev ery o n e to learn these
im portant skills that save lives.
W hy should people care? Sudden cardiac arrest is the num ber
one killer in the U nited States. It can o ccu r suddenly and w ithout
w arning to individuals o f any age or gender.
Studies have show n that w hen a person receives p ro m p t C PR ,
co m b in ed w ith the use o f an A E D , they stand a m uch b etter
chance o f survival.
In addition to offering regular classes for certification, the Red
C ross is happy to o ffer businesses and o rg an izatio n s free
inform ational presentations about the effectiveness o f C PR &
A E D s. T hey w ill also provide co n su ltatio n on O reg o n 's new
A E D law s, Senate B ills 1006 & 1033, requiring A E D s in m any
public buildings. For m ore inform ation about inform ation about
the Red C ross, call 503-585-5414.
A Red Cross simulation demonstrates
the lifesaving techniques o f CPR com
bined with an Automated External
Defibrillator and a call to 911.
Interracial Marriage Still Rising
(A P) -- M elting pot o r racial d i
vide? The grow th o f interracial m ar
riages is slow ing am ong U .S .-bom
H ispanics and A sians. Still, blacks
are sub stan tially m ore likely than
before to m arry w hites.
Thenumberofinterraeial marriages
in the U.S. has risen 20 percent since
2000 to about4.5 million, according to
the latest census figures. W hile still
grow ing, that num ber is a m arked
d ro p -o ff from the 65 percent increase
betw een 1990 and 2000.
A bout 8 percent ofU .S . m arriages
are m ixed-race, up from 7 percent in
2000.
B roken dow n by race, about 40
percent o f U .S.-born A sians now
m arry w hites — a figure unchanged
since 1980. Their likelihood ofm arry-
ing foreign-bom A sians, m eanw hile,
multipl ied 3 times for men and 5 times
for w om en, to roughly 20 percent.
A m o n g U .S .-b o rn H isp an ic s,
m arriag es w ith w h ites increased
m odestly from roughly 30 percent
to 38 p ercent o v er the past three
decades. B ut w hen it cam e to m ar
riages w ith fo reig n -b o m H ispanics,
the share d o u b le d — to 12.5 percent
for men, and 17.1 percent for w om en.
In contrast, blacks are now three
tim es as likely to m arry w hites than
in 1980. A bout 14.4 percent o fb lack
m en and 6.5 percent o fb la c k w om en
are currently in such m ixed m ar
riages, due to h ig h er educational
attainm ent, a m ore racially integrated
m ilitary and a risin g black m iddle
class that provides m o re interaction
w ith o th er races.

censuses as w ell as the 2008 A m eri
can C o m m u n ity Survey, w hich su r
