Tom Brady and company threw their “parade” for their Super Bowl victory on boats. Rob Gronkowski asked Brady to throw him the trophy, and many wondered why they would do such a crazy thing. If the trophy had been dropped, it would have sunk into the water, presumably to never be seen again. Why did Randy Moss throw the Lombardi Trophy in the river? After Brady threw the trophy, there were a lot of questions posed....
Dr. Daniel Pine, a child psychiatrist at the New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University, and two colleagues tracked 716 children aged 9-18 over nine years. The girls with anxiety disorders grew up to be as much as two inches shorter than the others, and were twice as likely to reach an adult height of less than 5 feet 2 inches. Interestingly, the study found no association between height and anxiety in boys, suggesting that boys and girls may have different biological reactions to stress....
Originally from the Oregon Dog Rescue shelter, 9-month-old Rae is a mix of Rhodesian ridgeback, black mouth cur, pit bull, labrador, bloodhound and sha-pei who lives in Oregon with her owners, Laura Watkins and her husband. On a quiet evening at home, the pup made her owners aware of the blaze near their home. With more than 44,000 upvotes and hundreds of comments, the story has gained a lot of love online....
Los Angeles is one of only two megacities in the world that house big cats within its city’s limits. The other is Mumbai in India. For two decades, the National Park Service (NPS) has been studying the animals’ survival in this increasingly fragmented, urbanized environment, including tracking nearly 100 individuals with GPS radio-collars. At 11-years-old, P-22 is the oldest living cat in the study. Since he was first identified in 2012, he has caused quite a stir, making headlines as the first mountain lion ever recorded in Griffith Park, the home of the famous Hollywood sign....
The latest price marked around a 74 percent rise in the last 24 hours, while the latest trading volume was a nearly 165 percent jump in the same time period, at the time of publishing, according to CoinMarketCap. On Wednesday, the Dogecoin price was reported to have stabilized at around $0.033, according to Coindesk, which also looks at cryptocurrency prices. The joke cryptocurrency, which launched back in 2013, hit record levels last Thursday when its price soared by over 800 percent, reaching around $0....
The retail chain, once committed to that single price, has not been untouched by soaring prices, spurred by the coronavirus pandemic, in just about every industry, from cars to clothing. Dollar Tree, based in Chesapeake, Virginia, said last month that rising shipping costs would result in a $1.50 to $1.60 loss in its per-share profits in 2021, the AP reported. Any company would be hit hard by that development, particularly a retailer that has done business for decades on an “everything for $1” promise....
The “GROW U” program, which is set to begin on February 24, will cover the full cost of tuition, fees and books for employees that choose to further their education. The program will be available for all of Dollywood’s full-time, part-time and seasonal employees, which the park calls “hosts,” beginning on their first day of employment. “Our goal at Dollywood Parks and Resorts is to provide the best possible experience for both our guests and our hosts,” The Dollywood Company President Eugene Naughton said in a statement obtained by Newsweek....

The team made the announcement Thursday afternoon that Martin’s status for the game had been downgraded from “doubtful” to “out.” TUCKER: Martin’s “breakdown” not surprising | Week 9 picks The injury-list designation — in which Martin, who reportedly reacted badly to a lunchroom prank by his teammates, was called “doubtful” with an “illness” — was in accordance with NFL policy, the Miami Herald reported....

Following Sunday’s 27-14 loss to the Jets in London, Philbin said he wasn’t worried about his job security. But, according to Pro Football Talk, Ross is trying to figure out if Philbin is the right guy to turn things around in Miami. The Dolphins, especially their overhauled defense, are not playing with any sort of enthusiasm and it’s hard to believe Philbin, who is now 24-28 with Miami, is getting the most out of his players....
When asked to reflect on his 2021 season overall, Thiem admitted it had been “pretty bad” and that he struggled to deal with the COVID restrictions early on. The 27-year-old went on to point out that taking a break from practice in March caused him to lose his timing and rhythm, which in turn adversely affected his clay swing. Dominic Thiem started to feel like he getting back to top shape in the lead-up to Wimbledon, but that is precisely when the injury struck....
“It’s imminent,” Dominion founder and CEO John Poulos told the Axios Re:Cap podcast Monday. “She is, by far in our opinion, the most egregious and prolific purveyor of the falsities against Dominion. Her statements have caused real damage, and they’re demonstrably false.” Powell, who is closely aligned with President Donald Trump but doesn’t hold a formal position on his legal team that is challenging the election outcome, didn’t immediately respond to Newsweek’s request for comment about the remarks....
In a Sun-Sentinel profile to commemorate his birthday, Shula was asked to share his thoughts on the success of active coaching wins leader Bill Belichick. MORE: Ex-Ravens linebacker reveals Brady-breaking formula | Picks | Weather “Beli-cheat?” Shula responded. The endearing nickname, conjured up by rival fans and players, is in reference to the Spygate scandal of 2007, in which Belichick and other Patriots coaches used video cameras to tape the signals of their opponents....
However, the very existence of his transfer from Bayern Munich was sign enough of the cracks appearing in Schweinsteiger’s spell at the top of the game, and within a year he was to be training with United’s youth team. On Tuesday, it was announced that he had signed a one-year deal with MLS side Chicago Fire, after United agreed to release him from the final 15 months of his contract....
It was the good news story onto which Milanisti could cling at their lowest moments as their team scuffled around for positive results of any sort. All Milan fans could relate to ‘Gigio’. He, like them, was a Rossonero, and his successes were reflective of a dream he shared with every supporter of a red and black faith. Donnarumma won’t renew contract But that now lies in ruins after it was announced by the club that Donnarumma’s agent, Mino Raiola, had informed them it was his client’s decision to “definitively” reject a new contract, leaving Milan facing the probability of losing the jewel in their crown for peanuts when his current deal expires in 12 months’ time....
Community colleges have long suffered from an image problem. As two-year institutions (mostly public) with open admissions, they were seen as a last resort for the academically hopeless. But that’s changing, as people become aware of the schools’ affordability and small class sizes. Since 1999, the nation’s 1,173 community colleges have had a 20 percent jump in enrollment–from 5.4 million to 6.5 million students. According to the American Association of Community Colleges, 45 percent of first-time freshmen enroll in community colleges rather than four-year schools....
The United States, under both President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, has officially declared that the Chinese regime is perpetrating genocide against Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in the Xinjiang region. And that comes on top of other abuses against Tibetans and Hong Kong dissidents—and even ordinary Chinese citizens who won’t toe the Communist Party line. Perhaps inevitably, these Olympics have become embroiled in national political dramas. Several countries, including the United States, announced a formal “diplomatic boycott,” declining to send any officials....
Man Utd to face Anderlecht in Europa League The Manchester United’s man future is currently the topic of much speculation with his current deal set to expire in the summer and seemingly no extension having been agreed. Ibrahimovic suggested earlier this week he could be tempted by a move to Maurizio Sarri’s side but Raiola has insisted that is out of the question. “Ibra to Napoli? Forget it,” the veteran’s agent told Radio Kiss Kiss ....
Under the proposed rule, which was to be carried out by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), companies with more than 100 employees would have been forced to implement a mandate requiring employees to get vaccinated or submit a negative COVID test each week to enter the workplace. This ruling came three days after the order went into effect and was decided among partisan lines as the court’s six conservative appointees objecting to the mandate and the three liberal appointees supporting it....
