Chris Perkins: Here’s how jiu-jitsu could help Dolphins’ Tua Tagovailoa reduce concussions

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:39 GMT

If Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa strengthens his neck muscles, keeps his chin close to his chest when he falls, and learns to land on his shoulder and roll instead of landing on his back, it’ll go a long way toward avoiding concussions.That’s not me talking, that’s what Ailton Barbosa thinks. Barbosa is a third-degree Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and instructor at American Top Team/Coconut Creek, one of the nation’s best MMA teams.The Dolphins are having Tagovailoa study jiu-jitsu in the offseason. They hope it’ll teach him how to fall without that whiplash effect of his head hitting the ground.“I think it’s going to be helpful for him,” Barbosa said.Jiu-Jitsu turned out to be the winning idea for the Dolphins.Coach Mike McDaniel said the team had lots of ideas for teaching Tagovailoa how to fall and avoid concussions.“We were willing to go to any length,” McDaniel said at last week’s NFL scouting combine. ...

Are you a points and miles hoarder? Here’s how to get over it

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:39 GMT

Most personal finance advice boils down to this: Save as much as you can, and spend as little as you can.That’s the simplest way to accumulate wealth, build investment income and achieve financial independence (even if it’s not so simple in practice).Yet when it comes to travel rewards — those points and miles earned through airline, hotel and credit card programs — this conventional wisdom is turned on its head. Saving a million miles might sound impressive, but it’s generally a poor financial decision.“I hear all the time from business travelers who ‘saved their miles for retirement,’ and are devastated to learn that the purchasing power of their miles isn’t what it would have been five, ten, fifteen years ago,” Tiffany Funk, co-founder and president of travel rewards booking search tool Point.me, said in an email.“Programs have successfully made loyalty currencies feel so valuable that people are often reluctant to use them because they are afraid they are giving up too much valu...

Ticked off! @Tampa Bay Rays

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:39 GMT

I’m ticked off at the Tampa Bay Rays who have a stadium capacity of 31,612 and the attendance on March 2 was 2,531 yet they still make the call to charge a “Convenience Fee” (Strike 1!) and a “Per Order Fee” (Strike 2!) to ticket sales. These fees are even in the ballpark if you’re trying to see a Spring Training game (Strike 3!). That’s a real foul call in my book and I’m calling myself out of your games!My HOA is so nasty to members, primarily the “Condo Commander” who thinks she runs/owns the place and rules don’t apply to her. There is more than one way to skin a cat and to that end we need a kinder and gentler HOA board. Unfortunately, no one else wants the job.We wanted to go see “To Kill a Mockingbird” at the Performing Arts Center and the cost of tickets is ridiculous! The show is a drama best appreciated in an intimate theater, not a cavernous hall from nosebleed seats. I can’t image this sh...

Canada bans Russian steel, aluminum imports as Joly raises ‘regime change’ in Moscow

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:39 GMT

OTTAWA — Canada is banning the import of Russian steel and aluminum as part of its sanctions regime, as Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly raises the possibility of regime change in Moscow.Joly made the remarks at a Friday press conference where she discussed the importance of maintaining a diplomatic presence in Moscow.“We’re able to see how much we’re isolating the Russian regime right now — because we need to do so economically, politically and diplomatically — and what are the impacts also on society, and how much we’re seeing potential regime change in Russia,” she said.The Liberals have pushed for regime change in Iran, but Joly has not previously said the same about Russia. She said regime change is indeed the point of sanctions and pursuing accountability for alleged war crimes. “The goal is definitely to do that, is to weaken Russia’s ability to launch very difficult attacks against Ukraine. We want also to make sure that Putin a...

US says intelligence shows Russia stirring unrest in Moldova

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:40:39 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. intelligence officials have determined that people with ties to Russian intelligence are planning to stage protests in hopes of toppling the Moldovan government, according to the White House.White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the intelligence shows that actors, some connected with Russian intelligence, are seeking to stage and use protests in Moldova as a basis to foment an insurrection against Moldova’s new pro-Western government.Kirby said the intelligence shows that another set of Russian actors would provide training and help manufacture demonstrations in Moldova, which was granted European Union candidate status in June, on the same day as Ukraine, its war-torn neighbor. The publicizing of the alleged malign operation by Moscow in Moldova is just the latest example of the Biden administration loosening restrictions on and making public intelligence findings over the course of the grinding war in Ukraine.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut is suing the operator of the state’s 23 highway rest stops, alleging the company is refusing to pay more than $2.7 million in back wages owed to food service workers for Subway, Dunkin’ and other restaurant chains, state Attorney General William Tong announced Friday.The state labor commissioner’s lawsuit was filed against New Haven-based Project Service, which runs the service plazas along interstates 95 and 395 and Route 15. The company is responsible for any failure of its subcontractors to follow wage laws and other legal requirements, according to the lawsuit filed in Hartford Superior Court.The lawsuit alleges that from 2017 to 2019, the plaza workers were not paid the state’s “standard wage,” an amount for certain state contractor employees that typically is a few dollars per hour higher than the state’s minimum wage. A state investigation found more than 2,000 workers were underpaid, Tong said.Project Ser...
