Broken Bones Heal Best in Kids Children’s bones have an amazing capacity for healing. The younger the child, the higher the healing capacity. In very young children—ages 7 months to 5 years—a fracture of the femur (thigh bone) typically heals easily in a large cast called a hip spica.

PGA CHAMPIONSHIP: Tourmanent leaderboard Koepka is only one behind Day and Todd, however, raising the prospect of a title challenge from the man who is chasing a hat trick of consecutive PGA titles. Woods has twice triumphed at the PGA in consecutive years (1999-2000, 2006-07), but nobody has taken the title three years in succession in the stroke-play era....

The wideout has been activated to the 53-man roster after serving a four-game suspension to start the year for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, the team announced. Callaway’s suspension stemmed from an August 2018 incident in which he was cited for marijuana possession while driving with a suspended license. And this wasn’t the first time he’s violated drug policies.

Marchand did not draw a penalty, but the slew foot got the attention of the NHL’s Department of Player Safety. Marchand had a phone hearing with the department on Friday afternoon. Video of incident is below. Marchand is no stranger to disciplinary action for foul play. He was fined $2,500 last season for a slew foot on then-Penguins defenseman Matt Niskanen. He was also suspended five games in 2012 for a low hit on Canucks defenseman Sami Salo....

It’s part of his job as quarterback: not only helping him throw accurate passes to receivers, but also delivering them quickly enough so his offensive linemen don’t exert themselves more than they need on a given play. It’s a simple, effective part of his play style, one achieved through talent and meticulous, years-long practice. But his greatest strength, Scott says, is how he elevates the play of those around him....

The time away from competition didn’t change DeChambeau’s stance on being vaccinated. He’s still not getting the shot. MORE: Koepka trolls DeChambeau after driver comments “The thing is, the vaccine doesn’t necessarily prevent it from happening,” DeChambeau told Golf Channel on Wednesday. “That’s where for me, I’m young enough, I’d rather give it to people that need it.

The mega-group, formed of Jimin, Jungkook, Jin, J-Hope, RM, V and Suga, caused a social media frenzy after a string of performances as part of Muster Sowoozoo—their eighth anniversary livestream.

Missed opportunities Villanova 82, Providence 79 (2 OT). The Friars now are 17-10 overall, No. 62 in the Ratings Percentage Index standings and just 2-5 against the top 50. This was the type of game that could have squeezed the Friars into the back of the field. Kentucky 84, Ole Miss 70. The Rebels never were in this game, and their star player wanted little part in it. Marshall Henderson took a frustrated swipe from behind at a UK player advancing the ball, then acted like he was the aggrieved party as he moved to the bench with a second first-half personal....

Savant? Guru? An actual Einsteinokounmpo? LIVE: Today’s NBA scores, updates, TV schedule Because while Irving (8-for-22 shooting) was a bit of an ignoramus in an important Game 3 matchup at TD Garden, Antetokounmpo was a mastermind, diagnosing a Celtics defense that had frustrated him in Game 1 and in last season’s playoffs, and countering with a combination of athleticism and IQ unmatched in today’s game. The result: 32 points, 8-for-13 shooting, 13 rebounds, eight assists and a 123-116 victory that decidedly proved Antetokounmpo’s mental fortitude....
