It’s truly fascinating how some media members, and whichever unidentified short-fused Redskins players want Colt McCoy at the helm, are ignoring what happened last season. Literally, just last season. This is all setting up for another “You like that?” moment. First of all, the Redskins are not going to bench Cousins after a few games. They’re paying the guy $19.95 million to see if he can relive the success of last year, and they don’t have a Jimmy Garappolo waiting in the wings....

In 2015, the American Heart Association further updated its CPR guidelines to recommend chest compressions at a rate of 100 to 120 per minute. The narrower standard is meant to improve blood flow during CPR by keeping the blood moving fast enough while also giving the heart enough time to adequately fill between chest compressions. Reasons for the Update When the AHA originally released the 100 per minute standard in 2005, it wasn’t intended to deliver 100 chest compressions per minute....

The idea that there may be such a thing as “too much” exercise after a heart attack is a new one. Or rather, it is a new formulation of an old idea—50 years ago heart attack victims were routinely treated with weeks of bed rest, and as a result, often became permanent invalids. That there might be such a thing as too much exercise after a heart attack has been raised anew by a research paper appearing in August 2014 in the Mayo Clinical Proceedings....

Guidance on vaccine boosters from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) lets you choose which vaccine brand to get for your booster.

What Is Sleep Texting? Sleep texting refers to the use of a cell phone to send text messages while remaining asleep.

The Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers told Reuters Tuesday that they filed the lawsuit in federal court because the current asylum-seeker policy between the U.S. and Canada does not consider if these individuals have any alternative options.

As any medal game does, there was plenty of drama Saturday night in Edmonton in the gold-medal game. Canada blew a two-goal third-period lead as Finland forced overtime and nearly completed the comeback. It took a sensational defensive play by Mason McTavish to prevent a sixth gold medal for Finland; he swiped the puck away from Canada’s goal line as it was going into the net. Moments later, Kent Johnson grabbed his own rebound and scored, lifting Canada to a 3-2 overtime win....

The Canadians were actually the last team selected at the 2022 World Cup draw with the Canada ball in Pot 4 turning up as the final one of the evening. But outside of Belgium, it can come away feeling like it has a shot to advance against the other two opponents in Morocco and Croatia in Group F. Sometimes facing the favorite in the group on the first day of group competition is often preferable before a contender has the chance to get its feet under it, especially given the short window of preparation that will be afforded ahead of the November World Cup....

It went all wrong. MORE: Canadiens’ best players of all time Some of the handles that found their way onto Canadiens jerseys featured racial slurs, like “@deathton1g—.” Others tweeted pre-recorded videos from players like Canadiens defenseman P.K.

Focus of Support Groups and Communities The goal of most cancer support groups and communities is to provide a place where members can openly discuss their feelings, experiences, and challenges in their cancer journey.

Fellow cancer survivors in these groups can share in your fears and frustrations, as well as provide new perspectives and hope....
