Teens are cramming their entire summer reading into the last week of August. Yep, it’s back to school time, folks

"ADHD is most often recognized and referred for treatment in third grade. This is when elementary school kids most often hit the "academic wall."
In third grade they are expected to do more and more work on their own, and they are given more homework to do as well. We also see many referrals in seventh grade, or when the child leaves Elementary School for Junior High School, with several classes and several teachers."

Do you know where the nearest defibrillator is?
Seconds count if you or someone near you has a sudden cardiac arrest. It happens to roughly 1,000 Americans every day. Although it often accompanies a heart attack, sudden cardiac arrest can happen to young and seemingly healthy people, too, and 95% of victims die before emergency personnel arrive.
The odds improve dramatically if somebody on the scene can quickly start cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, to get blood flowing through the victim's heart and uses an automatic external defibrillator, or AED, to shock it back into normal rhythm. If you go into sudden cardiac arrest in a Chicago airport, where AEDs are plentiful, your chance of survival is greater than 50%. It's as high as 74% in casinos, where trained personnel are watching constantly.
