  Nineteen years ago today, America was shocked by the tragic attacks on our nation. We must never forget the nearly 3,000 lives we lost that day or the incalculable impact on all who were impacted by the attacks of that day. The world as we knew it changed that day.
  In the aftermath of the attacks, a sense of national unity swept America not experienced ever since.

• Corky: Be more aware of concussion dangers while surfing

  11-09-2020 23:28
  
  I recently got an email telling me how the Pepperdine Surf Team was working with a new mobile app called HitCheck to monitor concussions while surfing.
  This interested me because, as a long-time surfing coach, I can attest to the number of times people get hit in the head with their boards.
  The first thing we tell beginners is that when they fall off they should stay under water for a couple of extra beats and then come up protecting their heads with their hands and arms.

  Seven weeks later, and the Los Angeles Sparks have arrived at their regular-season finale Saturday against the Las Vegas Aces.
  Even with just 22 games this year, it was more of a sprint than a typical WNBA season. That was just the way things unfolded in the pandemic-induced bubble.
