...mayoral visit to cut the ribbon. He explains that financial strain due to building renovations was behind the initial lack of fanfare (literal fanfares aside, since he did commission a bagpiper to play at Head of the Charles to herald the pub’s arrival). Word of mouth advertising has only gone so far, although this weekend implies that O’ Sullivan knows what he’s talking about. “I didn’t know about it until this Friday,” says Sophie F. Brickman...
...with the student government and is now an “outsider.” That’s what’s called a “blend of experience with a critical perspective”—a phrase that leapt from Haddock’s mouth at least twice during a disappointing UC debate where the moderators, armed with smarm, outshined the back-slappingly platitudinous candidates.

The new guidelines call for raising the compressions from 15 to 30, while keeping the two breaths the same...
That may sound like a simple change, but it was based on the work of nearly 400 cardiac specialists reviewing thousands of studies of heart attacks. Turns out that with all the shifting back and forth between chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth breaths, valuable time was being lost. According to the AHA's Dr. Michael Sayre, the new guidelines place more emphasis on the heart and are also simpler. "Push hard, and push fast...
