After an embarrassing 3-0 defeat to Chivas in league play, it looked like Las Aguilas would have to stew in a rivalry defeat until next tournament. But then the Copa MX bracket shook out and gave us Wednesday’s Clasico Nacional, a rematch just two months after that loss to the Guadalajara side hated by America fans and players alike. Now, the capital club is one step closer to winning a trophy in its centennial season, albeit not the one it has its eyes set on, and perhaps more importantly to exact revenge....

Animal-assisted therapy, also known as pet therapy, entails using trained animals to provide some sort of therapeutic benefit (whether that be the comfort, relaxation, or easing the pain) to people of all ages with a wide range of health problems. The Basics of Animal-Assisted Therapy While dogs and cats are probably the most commonly utilized animals in therapy visits, other animals like birds, guinea pigs, fish, horses, and dolphins can also be used....

It is probably inevitable that the word “Whitewater,” which refers to a picayune and almost comically unsuccessful Ozarks real-estate development that involved Bill and Hillary Clinton, is now being transformed into “Whitewatergate.” This is something to set the journalistic pack howling and, probably, generate gobs of legal fees. It is also a moment of gleeful opportunity for the Other Party, and some Republicans have actually started muttering about impeachment. What did he know and when did he know it–and what, by the way, about her?...

How Blood Type Is Determined A lab test called a type and screen—sometimes referred to as blood typing—confirms a person’s blood type. A type and screen test is not part of routine blood work, but you can still ask your doctor to perform this test if you’re curious.

Other tests or procedures may be done when cervical cancer is diagnosed and staged, before treatment begins. That’s especially true in more advanced stages of cervical cancer. This article explains the tests and procedures used to diagnose cervical cancer. It also describes the first signs of cervical cancer, the stages that classify the extent of the cancer, and the importance of early detection. First Signs of Cervical Cancer Cervical cancer symptoms do not usually appear until cancer has progressed to a fairly advanced stage....

He stars alongside Taron Egerton, Greg Kinnear, Sepideh Moafi and Ray Liotta in Black Bird, which was created by author Dennis Lehane.

Firefighters had contained 43% of the 7,965-acre Saddleridge fire as of Monday morning, according to a news release from the LAFD. The fire, which began around 9 p.m. on Thursday, is entirely within LA County, the most populous county in the state of California and the entire United States, at about 10 million residents.

When to Consider the Use of a Mask Liner Not everyone needs to use a mask liner with the use of CPAP therapy for sleep apnea. If your mask fits well, without discomfort or irritation of your skin, you probably don’t need to use one. However, if you experience periods of an excessive leak or find that your skin is reacting against the plastic of the mask, you may want to explore your options....

Cytotoxic drugs such as Cytoxan (cyclophosphamide), Imuran (azathioprine), and methotrexate work by slowing cell production and decreasing inflammation. When used for treating rheumatic disease, these medications are prescribed at lower doses than when they are used for cancer treatment, so that their roles are primarily anti-inflammatory. By modifying the body’s immune and inflammatory actions, these medications reduce the symptoms caused by certain rheumatic diseases. Use in Rheumatic Disease Rheumatic diseases include more than 200 conditions that cause chronic pain of the joints and/or connective tissues....

Dallas is one of the best teams in the league, after all. Even without Pro Bowl running back Tony Pollard, the odds seemed stacked in its favor. On top of that, Joshua Dobbs was under center for Tennessee. Dobbs had been with the team for barely more than a week. And yet, the Titans held firm. It wasn’t a perfect display by the former Volunteers star, but he was decisive in the pocket and made a handful of impressive throws....

Even with that in mind, Phil Foden will be the only academy player close to the starting line-up when City try to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League for just the second time in the club’s history. There would probably have been another had England winger Jadon Sancho decided not to leave the Etihad Stadium as an 17-year-old to join quarter-final opponents Borussia Dortmund. Faced with the choice of possible patient progress under Pep Guardiola or the promise of a fast-track to the first team in the Bundesliga, Sancho opted for Germany and it would be difficult to argue that he made the wrong choice....

Make your Scorpio feel like she’s a priority, too. Set aside a regular “date night” time and respond quickly whenever she reaches out. These signs take a while to warm up to their partner, and they need reassurance that you’re totally dependable. Match her energy by leaving your phone on silent and making lots of eye contact when you two talk. Most of a Scorpio’s intensity comes from the fact that they’re ruled by Mars—the planet of action and passion....

Hetlioz (tasimelteon) is a drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of non-24 in adults, and also for the genetic Smith-Magenis Syndrome (SMS). It acts on brain receptors for the hormone melatonin and was more effective for treating non-24 than placebo pills (“sham” treatments) in studies for both conditions. But the drug has not yet been directly compared to over-the-counter melatonin. This article looks at qualities and concerns about both products to help you better understand the choices....

The report, published Friday by the Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF), is titled “Comparing Trump and Biden on COVID-19.” As the U.S. continues to rank No. 1 among high-income countries for most coronavirus cases as measured per capita, Trump’s track record while in office and Biden’s policy proposals have come under increasing scrutiny. A recent CNBC/Change Research poll taken among voters in six swing states showed that the majority of American voters—52 percent—believed that Biden would handle the coronavirus better than Trump, whom 48 percent of voters said would do a better job....

Unless a fever becomes dangerously high or lasts for a prolonged period of time, it’s sometimes best not to try to bring it down, given its role in helping to fight infection. But if it’s causing discomfort, measures such as soaking in a lukewarm tub can help, as can over-the-counter (OTC) medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. If you have a very high fever or one that lasts for more than two days (or your child has a fever that lingers for five days or more), see a healthcare provider....

The sport is low-impact, social, and can also improve your confidence and self-esteem, with a 2009 Swedish study discovering that golf might even increase your life expectancy by five years. According to data compiled by the National Golf Foundation, 2020 recorded a total of 24.8 million golfers in the U.S., an increase of 500,000 from 2019, marking the largest net rise in 17 years, Golf Digest reported in April 2021....

Charlie’s talent on the course came into the public eye for the first time a couple of years ago, when it was revealed he was already dominating youth golf tournaments in Florida at the age of 11. His swing has only gotten better since then, with many drawing comparisons to the silky move of world No. 1 Rory McIlroy. MORE: How Tiger’s son can outdrive his dad at 13...

On a less quantifiable level, he's one of the most electric players in the league and generally stands out; when you're watching P.K. Subban, you know you're watching P.K. Subban. He's also 24. Subban is really, really good. Yet, for whatever reason, we've got this: Okey dokey. Now, a few things: Team Canada is stacked at the blue line. Shea Weber, Drew Doughty and Duncan Keith are locks to make the team....

It has been three years since almost the entire sporting world was tracking the Norwegian, who, at age 15, was fielding offers from Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Roma, Liverpool and Ajax after his big breakthrough at Stromsgodset. Although the teenager touted as a future Ballon d’Or winner signalled his desire to become an elite star by making the switch to Real Madrid, the hype surrounding him has calmed considerably in the interim, as he continues his development in more modest surroundings at Heerenveen....
