This was a scary moment on the court last weekend during a minor league basketball game in New York that luckily ended in a good way.
One of the referees had a heart attack in the middle of the game. Fortunately, there happened to be a player named Myles Copeland on one of the teams who also works as a firefighter. He sprung into action from the bench when he saw what was happened, did CPR, and saved the guy’s life!
Paramedics arrived on the scene and were able to get him to a hospital. The latest was that he’s doing good and now set to have heart surgery.
As a nice little bonus nugget to the story… once he was safely at the hospital Myles and his teammates finished playing the game and WON!
If you have kids you probably know the “Play-Doh trick”. If you want them to have some non-screen time, busting out the tub of Play-Doh is a perfect creative way to kill and hour or so. But it wasn’t originally a toy at all.
Play-Doh was first created as a wallpaper cleaner. Which kind of makes sense when you think of the consistency of it. Then over the years once they saw how kids were playing with it they decided to make different colors and market it to children as a fun activity.

You’ve seen this in the running of the bulls in Spain, or at bull riding competitions on TV. The guys waves that red cape and the bull charges towards it. But the bull’s don’t charge because it’s red. It’s not the color at all, bulls are actually colorblind. They charge because of the way the cape moves and the motion of the fabric. So it could be any color and it would have the same effect.
