Scientists have long suspected that fish-rich diets are good for the heart, but the nature of the benefit has been murky. Last spring Harvard researchers found that men who eat a lot of fish suffer just as much heart disease as men who eat just a little. But the new study focused on a specific type of heart problem– sudden cardiac arrest -and it compared people eating moderate amounts of fish with those eating little or none....
Colorado lost 96 games, and there is a little secret about what happened: it wasn’t just because there were a lot of injury problems. Take the case of Tulowitzki: with their best player on the field, the Rockies went 36-55 for a .396 winning percentage. When Tulowitzki did not play, Colorado was 30-41, a .423 winning percentage. The response of the front office was to spend the winter making bold moves such as trading neither Tulowitzki nor Gonzalez, doing nothing to replace departed free agent Michael Cuddyer and, uh, jeez, well, gosh, hey Nick Hundley is the new catcher!...
Investigators found five bodies and a dead dog when they searched the home in Duluth, Minnesota, just after midday on Wednesday, after being asked to do a welfare check by a worried relative. The victims included two children, aged just 9 and 12. Suspected killer Brandon Taylor Cole-Skogstad, 29, had posted a chilling message on his Facebook page saying: “I have made the absolutely horrid choice in not only taking my life, but the lives of my aunt, Riana Lou Barry, my uncle Sean Barry, and my two sweet, beyond angelic cousins Sadie Lucille Barry and Shiway Elizabeth Barry....

Let’s take a look at five key areas, see who has the advantage, and try to figure out who will win that way. Bullpen You’re going to hear a lot about how much strength each team draws from its relief corps, and with good reason: they absolutely do....
We thirst for ZIPS when the snow blows across Buzzard’s Bay, we’d love predictability, but in this off-season when so many general managers, players, sports medicine minds and conditioning gurus weigh the question of the relationship between the increasing lines for the disabled list and fears of over-training, we see, year after year, that one of the necessities for a max season is relatively good health. Or what happens to pitching staffs like the ’85 Cubs and ’87 Mets, or the position players on the 2013 Yankees....
Trump wanted the Ukrainian government to investigate the Bidens for alleged corruption—as he said in his now infamous phone call with Volodymyr Zelensky, his Ukrainian counterpart. In 2014 Hunter Biden was appointed to the board of Burisma, a Kiev-based gas company controlled by a Ukrainian oligarch suspected of corruption. At the time, Joe Biden was the point man for Ukraine policy in the Obama administration. Biden and the Democrats insist that neither Joe nor Hunter Biden did anything wrong, and that to suggest otherwise is to peddle “debunked conspiracy theories....

The Panamanian national team coach went into Friday’s World Cup qualifier believing his team was just as good as the U.S., and it led him to think his Canaleros could stand toe-to-toe, and even attack the Americans rather than playing for a draw. Gomez was wrong, painfully wrong. What Panama found instead was an inspired U.S. attack that threw a speedy five-man barrage at Panama’s defense, overwhelming the visitors and forcing Gomez to scramble to make changes simply to avoid a blowout....
The perfect scenario to introduce the nation’s big star no one knows about: Cal quarterback Jared Goff. MORE: SN’s Week 3 picks | SN Power Rankings “There’s not a doubt in my mind, he’ll be the first pick (in the NFL Draft) next spring,” says one AFC scout. Without the turmoil in the Texas athletic department, this game wouldn’t be nearly as interesting for the average fan who only knows Cal as the program that hasn’t been relevant since a guy named Aaron Rodgers played quarterback....
A top contender in the Atlantic Division this season, Montreal went into Saturday’s game on a roll, winning three straight and posting a 7-2-1 record through their last 10 games. And coming off a dominant 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Friday, the Habs returned to Bell Centre with momentum — and it showed greatly against the last-place New Jersey Devils. Despite a slow start that saw Montreal outshot 20-9 in the opening frame, the Canadiens still had a decent showing and almost pulled off a late victory until a last-minute goal was waved off....

Meanwhile, after debuting in 1996, the Rock was WWF World champion only two years later, and arguably the biggest star in the sport three years after his debut....

People around the world feel the program should come back and have made their feelings known. Five-year-old Bennett Williams saved his allowance of one dollar and sent it to the school to help rebuild their program. “He looked at me and said, ‘How much money do they need?

Caleb Ziegelbauer, 13, first started feeling ill five days after he went swimming with his family at the Port Charlotte Beach Park on July 1, Florida news station WBBH/NBC 2 reported. His symptoms included headaches, feeling disorientated and having hallucinations, and he was then hospitalized at the Golisano Children’s Hospital.
