MILLBURN — As the opioid epidemic has continued to impact New Jersey residents, it has become critical for medical and dental professionals to become more aware of the risks of prescription opioids and develop safer prescribing practices.
Studies have estimated that dentists write 12 percent of all opioid prescriptions, and unused dentally-prescribed opioids cause 1,500 deaths each year, according to a 2018 study published in the Journal of the American Dental Association.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ), the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) New Jersey Division, the New York/New Jersey High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas program and the Academy of Pediatric Dentistry will host a Do No Harm Symposium on Wednesday, January 30th to discuss the links between prescription opioids and heroin use and steps toward safer prescribing in New Jersey's medical communities, specifically in pediatric dentistry.
The Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey (PDFNJ), a non-profit organization, helps to raise awareness of substance use prevention through education and outreach. "We have to stop this disease on all fronts, and working with our partners in the medical community and law enforcement is the first step," PDFNJ Executive Director Angelo Valente said.
Nearly 6 percent of people ages 16 to 25 who received initial opioid prescriptions in 2015 from dentists were diagnosed with opioid abuse within a year, according to a 2018 study by researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine and the University of California. In comparison, 0.4 percent in a similar group who didn't get dental opioids were diagnosed with opioid abuse during the same period.
The President of the New Jersey Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and Chairperson of Governmental Affairs for the New Jersey Dental Association, Dr. Elisa Velazquez will speak about the alternatives to prescribing opioids to children.
"Pediatric dentists need to be aware of the New Jersey Dental Association Guidelines for prescribing narcotics to patients, especially children. Over the past 20 years, I have not written a prescription for opioids," Velazquez said.
Join these organizations on Wednesday, January 30 from 7pm to 9pm at the Days Hotel & Conference Center by Wyndham in East Brunswick, 195 NJ-18, East Brunswick, New Jersey 08816 to identify ways to prevent prescription drug abuse among pediatric patients.

Eric Martin was clearly overmatched when he ran for the House of Representatives in 2012.
Deer in the headlights overmatched.
The legendary Todd Platts was vacating the seat. A herd of Republicans was vying for the nomination – including heavyweights such as state Rep. Scott Perry and York County Commissioner Chris Reilly.
York County man inches toward millions with Walmart, Jet deal
Mr. Martin was a recent York College graduate and a sales associate for a cell phone company.
The then 26-year-old told voters not to count his age against him. "Albert Einstein was 26 in 1905, when he had his 'Miracle Year,'" he said.
He finished fifth in a seven-man primary. So, obviously, 2012 was not his miracle year.
But 2015 did turn out to be miraculous for Mr. Martin. Or maybe 2016 is really his miracle year. Actually, both.
During the 2012 primary, few people would have mistaken Mr. Martin for Einstein.
But in 2015, he did something absolutely ingenious.
Or crazy.
Wal-Mart buying online retailer Jet.com
He won a marketing competition run by Jet.com, a company looking to compete with Amazon.com in the online shopping sector. He spent $18,000 of his own money buying ads on websites such as Swagbucks and Gifthulk to win a contest that entailed signing up the most people for Jet.
For that, he was awarded 100,000 shares of the startup's stock options.
The win had the potential to make him a multi-millionaire if and when the company went public. It was a waiting game.
Well, recently Walmart purchased Jet for $3.3 billion.
Yeah, that's billion with a B.
So, how much is he worth now?
It's not clear. But it's probably a whole lot more than the salary he earns doing digital marketing for Bath Fitter.
So, congratulations!
But what we like most about this Cinderfella story is Mr. Martin's attitude.
He seems down-to-earth, focused on family and community. "Even if this Jet thing is worth a lot of money, way down the ladder, I don't want to live in a way where all I care about is money. I hope I never care about money," he told CNBC.
He said he's a devout Christian and family man and wants to work in a way that glorifies God.
There are so many good things he could do in our community with such wealth and such a positive attitude.
So, Congress was not his way to serve. That's OK. There are many other ways to contribute.
What are the lessons of this story?
1. It might be ill-advised to compare yourself to Einstein, but believe in yourself.
2. Take risks. (By the way, Mr. Martin has a new startup called ideadash.com.)
3. Think in unconventional ways.
Jeff Vermeulen, executive director of the J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship at York College, said he was impressed with Mr. Martin's "stick-to-itiveness." So…
4. Be stick-to-itive!
Good luck, Mr. Martin, and we hope to see you take a leadership role in improving York.

Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together Dijon mustard, basil and honey. Smear the skin of the chicken with Dijon mustard and honey mixture.
Arrange chicken skin side down in a shallow roasting pa or baking dish just large enough to hold it in a single layer. Sprinkle the pieces with finely chopped onions, bell peppers, butter, salt and pepper, and paprika. Pour orange and pineapple juice around the chicken.
Bake the chicken, basting once after 30 minutes. Turn the chicken skin side up and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Bake until the chicken is tender and golden, about 20 minutes longer. Add more orange juice or pineapple juice if the pan seems dry. Pour the juice into a small sauce pan and boil over high heat until it becomes syrupy. Spoon the sauce over the chicken and serve.

Erbediñ he bara a ra.
Formé sur kann qui, en vieux breton, avait le sens de "blanc, brillant".
D'origine bretonne selon sa Vie, cette sainte était la fille de Tewdwr Llydaw, lui-même fils d'Emyr Llydaw. Elle épouse saint Sadorn et tous deux suivent Kavan en Bretagne insulaire. À la mort de son marie, elle épouse Alltu Redegog dont elle aura deux enfants, les saints Eliant et Tegfan.
Canna was a Breton princess, traditionally a daughter of Tewdwr Mawr ap Emyr Llydaw. This man, however, appears to have actually been the grandson, rather than the son, of Emyr Llydaw (Budic II) and was probably the lady's brother. She married her cousin, Prince Sadwrn, a man somewhat her elder, and, together, they became the parents of St. Crallo.
The family moved to South Wales, where Sadwrn got religion and appears to have deserted Canna in order to become a hermit on Anglesey, where he later died. Canna soon remarried to Alltu Redegog, a descendant of King Cadrod Calchfynedd, by whom she had another son, St. Elian Geimiad (the Pilgrim). Depictions of her in art holding a staff which miraculously flowers may suggest a lost legend, similar to that of St. Ciaran's mother, whereby, upon feeling the pangs of childbirth, she grasped at a dry rowan stick which immediately burst into leaf. Which child this would refer to is unknown.
In retirement, Canna became a nun, founding churches at Llangan and Llanganna, and possibly Canton, in Glamorganshire. Her main residence was at Llangan in Caermarthenshire, where her stone 'chair' an still be seen inscribed with her name. The nearby Fynnon Ganna (Canna's Holy Well) was, for centuries, a popular place of pilgrimage.
Canna's festival is celebrated on 25th October. She should not be confused with St. Cain ferch Brychan or St. Caen ap Caw.

Alert system would target California drivers in hit-and-run crashes
Drivers who flee the scenes of crashes in California could see descriptions of their cars and license plates displayed on freeway signs under a proposed expansion of the Amber Alert system. For the second time in two years, state Assemblyman Mike Gatto (D-Los Angeles) has introduced a bill that would allow police to share details on hit-and-run drivers with the California Highway Patrol and display the information on freeway signs near the scenes of the crashes.
Who Uses Police Body Cameras and What Happens When They Do?
To address the issues brought to a head with the shooting of a black teenager by a white cop in Ferguson, Missouri, the White House has unveiled an initiative that includes a push for more body cameras for police. The family of Michael Brown, the black teen shot by police officer Darren Wilson, also has advocated for their use. "Join with us in our campaign to ensure that every police officer working the streets in this country wears a body camera," they said in a statement after Wilson was not indicted in Brown's death.

Proposition 47 Consequences
Controversial Proposition 47 effects being felt in Long Beach, L.A. County
A controversial ballot measure voters approved in early November is beginning to reshape the criminal justice system throughout Los Angeles County. Proposition 47, which supporters presented as a way to ease inmate overcrowding and save tax dollars, reclassifies certain types of felonies as misdemeanors unless the defendant has prior convictions for violent and serious crimes. Critics, however, fear the proposition will release felons back onto the streets and place an additional burden on the criminal justice system.
Undocumented Immigrants One Step Closer to Driver's Licenses
Undocumented immigrants became eligible on Monday to make appointments for California driver's license applications under a new law set to go into effect in January 2015. The law, Assembly Bill 60, requires the DMV to issue a driver's license to applicants who cannot submit proof that their presence in the United States is authorized by federal law. The applicant must meet all other qualifications for a driver's licenses in California, including written and driving tests required by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Legalization of street vending draws emotional responses
The pink bacon-wrapped hot dog is a popular street food in Los Angeles. But at a Tuesday City Hall hearing on street vendors, the snack became a symbol of the city's cultural and economic divisions. Downtown resident David Brown doesn't like the "stink" of the hot dogs, he testified. Brown, a vegetarian, recently bought a $600,000 condominium but can't open his window because of the odor emanating from an illegal cart nearby.

Malaysians will know by tomorrow whether Najib has changed the character of consensus-based Barisan Nasional founded by his father Tun Razak 14 years ago into a coalition operating solely under the dictates of UMNO hegemony
Tomorrow, Friday, 24th March 2017, will be an important day in the political history of Malaysia for Malaysians will know whether the Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, has changed the character of consensus-based Barisan Nasional founded by his father Tun Razak 14 years ago in 1973 into a coalition operating solely under the dictates of UMNO hegemony.
Last Friday, Deputy Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi announced that the government will take over PAS President Datuk Seri Hadi Awang's private member's bill in Parliament to amend the Syariah Courts (Criminal Jurisdiction) Act 1965 or Act 355, but the MCA, Gerakan, MIC and other Sabah/Sarawak Barisan Nasional Ministers and leaders claim that they knew nothing about it and never agreed to it.
There is no need at this stage to go into the merits or demerits of the bill, although there are attempts by irresponsible, divisive and destructive quarters to brand those who criticize or even oppose Hadi's private member's bill as anti-Islam, forgetting that the Sarawak Chief Minister, Datuk Abang Johari Tun Openg (a Muslim) had upheld the stand of the previous Sarawak Chief Minister, Adenan Satem (another Muslim) and directed all the 25 Sarawak Barisan Nasional MPs (which included four Muslim Federal Ministers) to reject Hadi's private member's bill motion.
Has Najib changed the consensus character of Barisan Nasional, where everyone of the 13 Barisan Nasional component parties must give consent and agreement before a policy, measure or decision can be regarded as Barisan Nasional policy, measure or decision into one where the Barisan Nasional is only a coalition in name but accepts UMNO hegemony, where what UMNO leaders want and desire become the law in Barisan Nasional?
Has Barisan Nasional changed its character to an extent where the Deputy Transport Minister can publicly reprimand the political stand of the Transport Minister, just because the Deputy Transport Minister comes from UMNO while the Transport Minister is from MCA, although MCA President?
Barisan Nasional has undergone many changes since its establishment by Tun Razak in 1973.
Firstly, Barisan Nasional has lost two-thirds majority in Parliament in the last two general elections in 2008 and 2013, with the ruling coalition recording its worst ever election result in 2013 where it won only 47% of the popular vote. However, Najib could continue to cling on as Prime Minister, although as the first minority Prime Minister in Malaysian history, because of the unfair and undemocratic gerrymandering of constituencies which allow Barisan Nasional to win 60 per cent of the parliamentary seats with 47% of the popular vote.
Secondly, MCA is now no more the second largest political party with MPs in Parliament. In fact, from the ranking of parliamentary representation of BN parties in Parliament, the Sarawak and Sabah BN parties are more important than the peninsular parties of MCA, MIC and Gerakan. The following is the ranking of BN parties according to the number of MPs elected on May 5, 2013:
1. UMNO - 88
2. PBB - 14
3. MCA - 7
4. PRS - 6
5. SPDP - 4
6. PBS - 4
7. MIC - 4
8. UPKO 3
9. SUPP - 1
10. PBRS - 1
11.Gerakan - 1
Total - 133
Now, UMNO has 86 MPs with the sacking of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin and the resignation of Datuk Seri Shafie Apdal from UMNO, while Gerakan has two parliamentary seats as a result of the Teluk Intan by-election.
If the other 12 Barisan Nasional component parties have never agreed to the Barisan Nasional government takeover of Hadi's private member's bill motion in Parliament, in fact never agreed that Hadi's private member's bill motion should be given priority ahead of official government business to surface in Parliament to be debated and voted on, will the 15 non-UMNO Ministers at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow get Zahid to announce (i) that his announcement last Friday was only the stand of UMNO but not the 13-party Barisan Nasional; (ii) that UMNO respects and accepts the stand of the other 12 BN parties which opposed any BN government takeover of Hadi's private members' bill or giving priority to Hadi's private member's bill in Parliament for it to be debated and voted ahead of government official business.
UMNO's takeover of Hadi's private member's bill in the name of Barisan Nasional, without consent or even discussion with the leaders and Ministers of the other 12 BN component parties, is a critical test case of the consensus character of the BN – which was the founding characteristic of the BN when formed by Tun Razak in 1973, with Razak, Tan Siew Sin, Sambanthan, Dr. Lim Chong Eu, and the Sabah and Sarawak BN leaders operating on the basis of consensus, just like the days of Alliance under Tunku Abdul Rahman, Tun Tan Cheng Lock and Tun V. T. Sambantah where consensus and not UMNO hegemony was the basis of the coalition.
Let us see whether the three MCA Ministers, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai, Wee Ka Siong, Ong Kah Chaun, the Gerakan Minister Datuk Seri Mah Siew Keong, the MIC Minister Datuk Seri Dr. S. Subramaniam, the Sabah non-UMNO Ministers, Maximus Ongkili, Wilfred Madius Tangau, Joseph Kurup and the Sarawak non-UMNO Ministers, Nancy Shukri, Fadillah Yusof, Wan Junaidi, Rohani Abdul Karim, Richard Riot Anak Jaem and Joseph Entulu Anak Belaun will succeed at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow to get Zahid to withdraw his statement that the government will adopt and move Hadi's private member's bill in Parliament and clarify that it is UMNO but not BN stand!

Abstract: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is defined by a mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥ 25 mmHg, as determined by right heart catheterization. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can no longer be considered an orphan disease given the increase in awareness and availability of new drugs. PH carries with it a dismal prognosis and leads to significant morbidity and mortality. Symptoms can range from dyspnea, fatigue and chest pain to right ventricular failure and death. PH is divided into five groups by the World Health Organization (WHO), based on etiology. The most common cause of PH in developed countries is left heart disease (group 2), owing to the epidemic of heart failure (HF). The data regarding prevalence, diagnosis and treatment of patients with group 2 PH is unclear as large, prospective, randomized controlled trials and standardized protocols do not exist. Current guidelines do not support the use of PAH-specific therapy in patients with group 2 PH. Prostacyclins, endothelin receptor antagonists, phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and guanylate cyclase stimulators have been tried in treatment of patients with HF and/or group 2 PH with mixed results. This review summarizes and critically appraises the evidence for diagnosis and treatment of patients with group 2 PH/HF and suggests directions for future research.

For events that couples can attend, getting both people to register can be tricky. Use the tips below to help make the registration process much easier for couples.
Create an attendee type for someone to use when they're registering themselves and their spouse.
If the event allows childcare at a cost, you can also add an attendee type for parents to register their child to be at the event and pay along with their registration.
To ensure correct pricing if the attendee adds both themselves and their spouse, create a group discount.
Set the amount to 100%.
The group number tells you the number of people charged for the event, so set the minimum to 1, and choose to apply it to everyone after the first attendee.
Only make it available for the Couple attendee type.
If two couples register on the same registration, only one charge will be made. You'd have to split the registrations into two from the Admin side.
Create a required question for the spouse's name.
Add the spouse as an attendee, using the name provided in the required question.
Because of the group code, there isn't an extra charge for the spouse, so their registration is complete.
If there are other questions the second spouse needs to answer, send an email to the person who registered them to gather that information.

Very easy. Omitted sugar but found the banana was sweet enough with the brown sugar. I baked this again today and I added 4 spoonfuls of peanut butter and 1 cup dark chocolate chips. Amazing. My husband loved the cookies w add ins.
I am really disappointed by the recipe. Too much sugar, I wouldn't put sugar at all. I put 2 spoons and it is still too sweet. Besides that it has no much taste except banana, as the all purpose flour doesn't do anything. It is not healthy, it is not tasty... not playful and fun at all.
Really easy and pretty quick to make and cook! Made a batch with pumpkin pie spice, one with dried berries, and one portion regular. All cooked up fluffy and soft. I also added flax seed to give it a little healthy kick. Would be great with any type of nut too.
Added coconut and pecans and used 5 bananas!

Q: Can .NET Standard 2.0 Class Library depend on .NET Framework 4.7.2? In one of my .NET Framework projects, I introduced a new .NET Standard 2.0 project. This project has dependencies on some existing .NET Framework projects. I was wondering if this is right to do.?
The reason I added a .NETStandard project is that we have plans to move the whole repository to .NET Core / Standard. Hence I thought, the new project we add can target .NET Standard.  With .NET Standard project I get the new SDK style project file, package references, etc by default.
The consuming application is still .NET Framework.
Do I have to retarget the new project to .NET Framework 4.7.2 so that the project will have the above SDK style project file and package references but targets .NET Framework 4.7.2 now. It will then be as easy as changing the target framework when we move to .NET Core?

A: Depends on your purpose of introducing the Standard 2.0 project. Normally, you make a Standard when you need it to be accessible both from .NET Framework and Core. In your case, your Standard project won't be operable from Core under macOS or Linux.

A: Yes, this can be done.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard?tabs=net-standard-2-0

.NET Framework compatibility mode
Starting with .NET Standard 2.0, the .NET Framework compatibility mode was introduced. This compatibility mode allows .NET Standard projects to reference .NET Framework libraries as if they were compiled for .NET Standard. Referencing .NET Framework libraries doesn't work for all projects, such as libraries that use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) APIs.

This is necessary as an intermediate step for some projects, but in order to get to your final goal you will of course have to go all in on .net core which will require updating those projects not to use framework or they will crash at runtime.

"The Book of Trades, or, Library of the Useful Arts." In Early American Imprints. Second Series; No. 12173, 2, 74-79. White-Hall [N.Y.?]: J. Johnson, 1807.
THERE are few trades more useful than that of the Shoe-maker, and perhaps not many that are more profitable when it is carried on to a considerable extent. Some Shoe-makers carry on a snug private track without any show; others have large shops, and exhibit in them shoes of all sorts, for ladies and gentlemen, together with boots, gaiters, and spatterdashes.
The master shoe-maker, or, if he be in a very large way, his foreman, measures his customers, and cuts out the leather for his work-people to put together. In some instances, especially in the country, he is the leather-cutter to all the little traders in the surrounding villages. In this case he buys the leather in skins and half hides from the dresser, and cuts them out into soles and upper leathers, which he either uses in his own business, or sells to those who cannot afford to go to the wholesale market.
To render this business profitable, a considerable degree of knowledge is required with regard to the properties of leather,, and an accurate judgment to cut the leather in such a manner as to yield the greatest quantity with the least waste.
In the plate is a representation both of the master and the journeyman shoe-maker. The former is cutting out an upper leather of a shoe to a paper pattern which lies upon it. A small leaden weight is placed on the skin at the corner to keep it from slipping: on his left lies the hammer, which he uses to beat down any rough parts which stand up in the inside of the leather; and on his right hand is a pair of pincers, which are made with teeth, in order to gripe the leather tight in the act of stretching it.
The journeyman is in the act of joining the upper leather to the sole of a shoe. On his bench near him are his awl, his knife, and a stone with which he sharpens his tools. Before him, on his right, are the hammer and lapstone, and on the other side a tub of water, in which he keeps a quantity of wax in balls. These are the principal implements necessary for his trade. He sews the leather together with thread waxed over, and thereby made a strong and durable substance: as, however, he makes no use of a needle, to the end of the thread is fastened a hog's bristle, which guides the thread through the holes made in the leather with an awl.
Journeymen in this trade are distinguished into women's shoe-makers, and those who make shoes and boots for men. Few can follow both branches with advantage; the greater ingenuity is required in manufacturing women's shoes, because the seams must be neater, as the materials are much finer.
Women are employed to bind shoes of all kinds, and to sew the quarters together of those that are made of silk, satin, and stuffs.
Shoes and boots are made on lasts, which are manufactured of some soft wood, by means of an engine or knife, such as that which, we have described in the brush-maker's trade. The same man that makes lasts, makes also the wooden heels for women's shoes. The last for shoes is made of a single piece of wood to imitate the foot; but that for boots is slit into two parts, between which a wedge is driven when the boot-leg is wished to be stretched.
It appears from history that the Jews, long before the Christian era, wore shoes made of leather or wood; those of their soldiers were sometimes formed out of brass or iron. The Grecian shoes generally reached to the middle of the leg. The Romans used two kinds of shoes & the calceus, which covered 'the whole foot, something in the shape of our shoes; and the solea, or slipper, which covered only the sole of the foot, and was fastened with leathern thongs. The calceus was worn with the toga when a person went abroad, and slippers were put on during a journey and at feasts. Black shoes were worn by the citizens of ordinary rank, and white ones by women. Red shoes were put on by the chief magistrates of Rome on the days of ceremony.
In Europe, about a thousand years ago, the greatest princes of Europe wore shoes having the upper part of leather and the under of wood. In the reign of William Rufus the shoes of the great had long sharp points, stuffed with tow, and twisted like a ram's horn. The clergy preached against these points; they continued, however, to increase till the reign of Richard II, when they were tied to the knees with chains of silver or gold. At length parliament interfered by an act in the year 1463, and prohibited the use of shoes or boots with pikes exceeding two inches in length: and shoemakers were forbidden, under severe penalties, to make them contrary to the statute.
A journeyman shoe-maker, if he be a good hand, sober, and industrious will earn thirty shillings a week.
Shoemakers use large quantities of Morocco leather, which is the skin of a goat, dressed in sumac, or gall; and coloured at pleasure: it is used also for trunks, book-binding, and various other work that requires neatness.

Teachers pick up tips on making spelling fun for the whole school
https://str.sg/UYE3
The tables were turned on some 100 teachers, who became the students in a hands-on workshop, discussing fun ways to teach spelling and jotting down their ideas in groups.
The 10-minute activity of a special teachers' briefing on Tuesday to further spread spelling fever in schools is part of the third edition of the RHB-The Straits Times National Spelling Championship (NSC). Among the ideas tossed up by the educators: Setting up a "spelling box" where pupils submit words to be randomly drawn out for a spelling quiz, giving groups of pupils letters of the alphabet to form words, and showing pupils how words can change by adding on affixes.
Over the next three months, more than 1,000 pupils islandwide are expected to vie for the title of Singapore's top speller. He will win $5,000 and the challenge trophy for his or school. Schools have until Feb 24 to register up to 10 participants and two reserves each to take part in the written preliminary round on March 1. A series of spelling tips will also run in Little Red Dot - The Straits Times' publication for primary schools.
The competition is co-organised by RHB Banking Group and The Straits Times, in partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE). For subscription enquiries, e-mail cirschool@sph.com.sg. Stay updated by going to www.straitstimes.com/big-spell-2014
At the briefing for teachers on Tuesday, the session's speakers - The Straits Times correspondent Laremy Lee and MOE master teacher and senior specialist Soo Kim Bee - shared ideas on how to make spelling fun. Demonstrating how easily such activities could be created, Mrs Soo blacked out words from an article in the same day's Little Red Dot within a minute to form a "non-intimidating cloze passage". She also spoke of how the spelling competition could build character and impart values such as sportsmanship and resilience.
Mr Lee's tips included using comic strips with its words blanked out and a spelling bingo game to engage English learners. He said: "There are countless ways to teach spelling... Use activities that cater to all the different kinds of learners: auditory learners, visual learners, kinesthetic learners. Cater to the different kinds of experiences that they may have."

UMass men's basketball looks to carry momentum against George Mason
Luwane Pipkins not expected to play Wednesday night
Joe Frank/Collegian
By Thomas Haines, Assistant Sports Editor
Coming off an upset win over Davidson on Saturday, the Massachusetts men's basketball team travels to George Mason on Wednesday looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time since November.
UMass (9-15, 2-9 Atlantic 10) has gone 3-13 over the past two months, including a 68-63 loss at home against George Mason back in January. The Minutemen have struggled so much, particularly on offense, that coach Matt McCall moved practices from the Champions Center to the Curry Hicks Cage after last Wednesday's embarrassing loss to Fordham.
"Certain guys responded to what we did, and it carried over to those guys playing the game connected," McCall told the Daily Hampshire Gazette. "You could see the guys who played the majority of minutes in that game [against Davidson] were really connected out there, and it's been one of our biggest issues. There was some carryover, but again, it's one game and we have so far to go as a program. It was a game in which I was proud of how we responded and when adversity hit in the game, those guys stayed together, and that was a result of the things we're trying to do."
The ban from the Champions Center seemed to work, as the Minutemen showed up on Saturday, allowing just 51 points against Davidson after giving up 85 points to Fordham a few days before.
"It's not just about the result on Saturday, it's about understanding how we have to have an appreciation for everything," McCall told the Gazette. "It starts with that appreciation to put on that jersey every single day and it has to mean more to you than your own individual numbers, your own individual success, it has to be about the team and the success there."
UMass' offense has been hamstrung by the absence of Luwane Pipkins, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Feb. 2. Carl Pierre has stepped up in Pipkins' absence, averaging 21.3 points in the last three games, while Keon Clergeot has run the offense for the Minutemen.
While Pipkins is not expected to play Wednesday, the return of freshman point guard Tre Wood takes some of the burden off of Clergeot. Wood played 15 minutes against Davidson after being cleared from a concussion.
"It was nice to have another steady ball handler on the floor to where Keon didn't have to do it a majority of the game," McCall told the Gazette. "It was nice to have a true point guard, out on the floor, he made some good plays for us. I don't know how rusty he was, I didn't feel that, I had full confidence putting him in there. Obviously, he's going to need to continue to get some game reps and we're going to need him [Wednesday] and going forward just to be that steady point guard, steady ball handler and help us get into offense, maybe get some guys some easier looks."
Wood missed January's game against George Mason, which UMass took down to the wire. The game was tied with four and a half minutes left before George Mason pulled away, aided by abysmal 6-of-14 shooting from the charity stripe for UMass.
The Minutemen also accrued 19 fouls in that game, allowing the Patriots 20 points on free throws. Sending opponents to the free-throw line has continued to be an issue, as UMass was hit with another 19 fouls against Davidson on Saturday.
Still, UMass was at least motivated against George Mason. That motivation has been inconsistent over the last two months, as the last major UMass win – a 77-70 triumph over Rhode Island back on Jan. 27 – was followed by three straight losses to lower-tier teams.
"When we play with that level of intensity or that effort, we've proven what we're capable of, even though all those results didn't result in Ws," McCall told the Gazette. "When you don't have effort or I have to coach effort, there's zero chance."
Tip-off at George Mason is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Industry goliaths seek innovation boost from Chinese tech startups
by Nicole Jao May 24, 2019 Jun 8, 2020

China lures many international companies, who enter the market with enthusiasm and ambition to conquer. However, many fail miserably in trying to catch up with China's rapidly evolving economy. Innovation is key to survival but many large companies stumble when trying to implement new ideas and apply new technologies, according to a group of industry leaders and academics sitting on a panel on Thursday.
At the Emerge by TechNode conference in Shanghai, Ben Hassing, SVP global cross border trade at Walmart, Peter Riedl, VP of BMW Group Tech Office in China, Dr. Shameen Prashantham, an associate professor at China Europe International Business School (CEIBS), and Paul Wong, vice president of innovation at Explorium discussed the values and challenges of working with Chinese startups.
Large international corporations seek entry into China's startup ecosystem because they struggle to make inroads in the market, said Prashantham. Not only tech goliaths like Microsoft and Amazon have looked to startups for inspiration and entry into the local market, but companies in the traditional sector that strive to innovate started working with Chinese tech startups around five years ago.
Retail giant Walmart, which has been operating in China for the past two decades, is working closely with Chinese entrepreneurs and startups through its Omega 8 initiative. Hassing from Walmart said that even though the company has partnered with internet giant Tencent and online grocery delivery company Dada-JD Daojia, there were still unfulfilled gaps. "We needed to figure out how to solve the pain points in our global retail operation and do so at a very low cost of experimentation," he said. This need was behind Walmart China's startup initiative, Omega 8.
One of the challenges that corporations face in China is that the entrepreneurial ecosystem is still immature, Prashantham said. Unlike startups from Israel or Silicon Valley, many startups in China are run by inexperienced entrepreneurs. The flip side of that is the sheer appetite and ambition from its entrepreneurs, he explained.
Paul Wong from Explorium, supply chain giant Li & Fung's incubator program, said leveraging and learning from Chinese tech startups' new applications and technology in solving retail and sourcing pain points is why the company is actively trying to build an ecosystem.
Establishing partnerships with startups in China has been a crucial part of BMW's localization strategy, said Riedl. "There are so many startups, and finding the right ones that will last, that will make a difference is the tricky part," he added.
Prashantham gave an example of how to source good startups. Walmart's Omega 8 program works with Microsoft's accelerator and in doing so it is creating a win-win situation involving multiple big companies, he said. "It is in Microsoft's interest to get their graduates the opportunity to work with marquee clients," he explained.
Large corporations need to think about what they want to compensate for and what they can leverage from working with startups. "Patience is not a virtue in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in China," Prashantham said.

School of Mines master plan extends to downtown Rapid City
by: Sydney Thorson
RAPID CITY, S.D. (KELO) — As we jump into a new decade, the South Dakota School of Mines released a new 10-year master plan for its campus. It includes expanding into downtown Rapid City.
2011 was the last time the School of Mines put together a masterplan. Now, almost 10 years later, the school is looking to the future with Rapid City.
"The community wants to have a university that's a part of the community and the university wants to be a part of the community, so how do we grow more towards downtown," Jim Rankin, President of South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, said.
From renovating the library and fixing up the student union to building a new mining and technology building, these are just some of the ideas to grow the campus.

"There is no particular order to when the buildings will come out, a lot of it is based on fundraising and if a donor wants to give money to a certain building or we can work with the state to find funds to a building," Rankin said.
The master plan is roughly a 10 year project. And some of the construction is going to look like what you see behind me here in the downtown area of Rapid City. This is the new innovation center.
"The campus master plan is hopefully going to bring more students to campus, students from many different states honestly not just South Dakota, but to have them stay here and have them working with these companies," Lance Roberts, Interim Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, said.
Right now, the school has about 2,600 students. Staff hope to get that number above 3,000, which will require more space.
"So it's not just space where they can live but it's space where they can do their labs, classroom space, peer space, collaborative space so that will really feed into a lot of this is," Roberts said.
To stay updated on the masterplan projects, you can check out the South Dakota School of Mines website.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says the state will open nine community sites this week to vaccinate adults over 65, pre-kindergarten through 12th grade educators, school staff and child care workers.
The program announced Monday expands the rollout beyond the first high-priority group that includes healthcare workers and long-term care residents and staff, who began receiving doses last month. The announcement comes after the Democratic governor criticized the federal government for uncertainty over the supply of doses.

Courtroom, office shenanigans
by Subhadra Devan
"I KNOW something you don't", said one colleague to me, as se passed the desk, one fine morning at work. OUCH! Like what ah? Anyway, that morning saw me on court-house duty and I sped off to Jalan Duta where the courts were back in the 80s.
What on earth did she mean? You know, office politics and gossip can get you going in a tizzy, if you let it. While pondering on any significance behind that remark, I was already in the courtroom, seated on one side of it, in front, on a long bench. That's the way it was then at the magistrate's court, long benches, the press on one side of the room, right in front, within touching distance of the lawyer's table.
The case was one of murder by one Satwant Singh, who was accused of cutting off a man's head and throwing in into the Gombak River in Kuala Lumpur.
He was brought in by the lockup cops, not in orang outfit, but in a T-shirt and pants, hands cuffed. He entered the dock, and that too was within talking distance from the press, as it was just behind the lawyers' tables.
The lawyers' were arguing the merits of his case, as he sat in the dock, and exhibits were brought in by the police, including the parang used to chop off the head.
Next minute you know, the accused had jumped over the dock, and grabbed the parang. "Yes, I chopped off his head, and I will chop off yours too!" he shouted as everyone scrambled away from him. Except the press, a bunch of us, rotted it seems to the wooden bench.
The accused tried to make his way towards the press, and yes, I was still seated with notebook in hand. But the cops managed to grab his arms, before anything bad happened.
The magistrate, seated at the front f the room on a platform, had by then hidden herself behind her table. I saw her opening a door behind her, and scuttling into her chambers.
With the accused back in the dock, under the watchful presence of policemen beside him, the magistrate was called back and the case sort of limped along. We were all waiting for a break, really. It came soon enough when it was adjourned to the next day.
Oh my. It seems the accused had been moved by the sight of the parang, as the person he had murdered had been his lover.
Now, over a much-need teh tarik, at the lawyers' room, cos the press room had nothing, not even a kettle, I wondered, I do hope that I I know something you don't' remark, had nothing to do with this episode. Oh so funny me!

Game 5, Rockets vs. Thunder: How and what to watch for
Photo by Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports
August 25, 2020 6:28 pm CT
Barring a last-minute reversal, All-Star guard Russell Westbrook (right quad strain) remains out for Wednesday's Game 5 of Houston's first-round playoff series versus Oklahoma City. So if the Rockets are going to flip the script after consecutive defeats in which they were outplayed late in close games, they're likely going to need improvement from within.
With the best-of-seven series now tied at two games apiece, the winner of Game 5 has won more than 80% of such scenarios, historically. As a result, the Rockets know they have to figure things out, quickly.
"They played a little bit better than we did down the stretch," Houston head coach Mike D'Antoni said after Game 4. "We had our looks, we didn't make them. We turned the ball over a couple of times. That hurt us, but I thought both teams had a chance to win, we just didn't do it."
"There's things we'll adjust, and things we'll look and get better at," D'Antoni concluded. "It's a two out of three series right now. Nothing's lost, nothing's gained, and we'll go to work."
The @HoustonRockets continue their series against the Thunder tomorrow, #Rockets Pregame gets our coverage started at 5:00.

As the series has progressed, the Thunder have become increasingly comfortable closing with a smaller lineup without traditional center Steven Adams. Instead, they've found success utilizing Lu Dort to defend James Harden; three strong playmaking guards in Chris Paul, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Dennis Schroder; and the shooting and length of 6-foot-10 forward Danilo Gallinari to space the floor.
"They went small and tried to put [Danilo Gallinari] at the 5 and really tried to spread us out and attack one-on-one," said Eric Gordon, who scored 23 points. "They scored a lot of baskets going one-on-one. We're going to make adjustments, but this game was about defense, really."
In some respects, the Thunder have beaten the Rockets at their own game. While Houston's small-ball system is built around the principles of switching and versatility, with all defenders capable of guarding any position, Houston's top frontcourt defenders like P.J. Tucker, Robert Covington, and Harden have struggled to stay in front of the guards.

— Jonathan Tjarks (@JonathanTjarks) August 25, 2020
"They're quick guards," Harden said after Game 4. "Obviously, they're really good at getting into the paint."
The tradeoff, without Adams, is that there's little in the way of rim protection OKC. But Harden has struggled at times against Dort, and with Westbrook sidelined, there isn't another Rocket who has consistently shown an ability to collapse the defense by scoring on his drives.
Lu Dort's defense creates problems for James Harden, Rockets
Thus, with the series potentially on the line, it could be up to Harden (an All-Star and MVP finalist) to further elevate his level of play. In Monday's Game 4, "The Beard" became the first player in NBA playoff history to lose while having 30+ points, 15+ assists, and 5+ rebounds.
"We strayed away from what we do on both ends of the ball." Harden said of his team's late collapse after leading by 13 late in the third quarter.
James Harden says #Rockets didn't follow their plan after being up 15 in the 3rd: "We strayed away from it on both ends..It's the way they made their runs.We weren't getting our shots we wanted & defensively we weren't staying to our principles. So it was a disaster on both ends" pic.twitter.com/qUJ2yI60oD
— Mark Berman (@MarkBermanFox26) August 24, 2020
"Obviously teams are going to make runs. but it's the way they made their run," Harden explained. "We weren't getting shots we wanted offensively, and defensively, we weren't sticking to our principles."
"So, it was a disaster on both ends," Harden summed up.
At one point, Harden missed seven consecutive 3-pointers, which had many on social media urging him to drive inside more.
Fatigue may have also been a contributing factor, since D'Antoni played Harden a game-high 43 minutes and only sat him for one minute in the second half. With Houston's bench struggling, it's understandable why D'Antoni might have balked at the idea of playing reserves extended minutes in the second half of a close game, especially without Westbrook as an option to guide them while Harden rests.
The story of Rockets-Thunder is how Houston has done with James Harden on the bench:
Game 1 +5
Game 2 +14
Game 3 -18
Game 4 -7
— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) August 24, 2020
After Harden, it's Gordon and reserve guard Austin Rivers who would seem to be Houston's best attackers — but both have been inconsistent throughout the series. If fatigue is a concern, D'Antoni could also experiment with bringing in the extra 3-point shooting of Ben McLemore, who played 24 minutes in Houston's Game 1 victory (the team's best offensive game of the series) but only nine minutes in the Game 4 defeat.
With McLemore largely benched and Rivers struggling, only six Rockets (the five starters plus Jeff Green) exceeded 15 minutes in Game 5. Perhaps the cumulative mileage made Harden and other starters less willing to drive inside and potentially absorb physical contact.
Daryl Morey congratulates Ben McLemore on strong playoff debut
Whatever the solution, Game 5 is the time for Houston to make those adjustments, since the team that goes up 3-2 in a best-of-seven NBA playoff series typically wins the series more than 80% of the time.
As the No. 4 seed, Houston will have "home-court advantage" in Game 5 over the No. 5 Thunder. To this point, the home team is four-for-four in the series. Yet, because all games are being played without fans at the NBA's Disney World bubble in Florida, that trend seems largely coincidental. (Perhaps the Rockets enjoy the additional virtual fans, and some of the sounds of their usual Toyota Center public address system.)
Game 5 tips off at 5:30 p.m. Central on Wednesday, with a national broadcast shown on TNT and a regional version (with Houston announcers) on AT&T SportsNet Southwest. Both networks also have streaming options available for subscribers through their mobile apps.

Motorcycles are economical and efficient modes of transportation, so it is not surprising that it is becoming more popular. This also means that more people are being vulnerable to motorcycle accidents.
It is even worse if the accidents occur because of another driver's action or inaction. According to the website http://www.thebentonlawfirm.com/, those who have been hurt in motorcycle accidents may get compensation for the damages they have received. But this does not mean that they can be reckless. There are things they can do to ensure their safety.
They can already reduce the risk of accidents and injuries even before they ride their motorcycles. They can regularly check their motorcycles and maintain them to avoid defects and malfunctions that may trigger traffic accidents. They may use safety equipment, such as helmets, kneepads, and elbow pads, to reduce the risk of injury when an accident occurs.
If possible, they should also check the conditions and statuses of the roads they will pass through, as well as the potentially hazardous weather conditions that may compromise safety. Rain water, snow, and ice can make the road slippery and reduce the traction of their tires. Fog blankets may affect their visibility and harsh winds may hurl projectiles on them or create obstructions on the road.
To further reduce the risk of accidents, it is important to follow traffic rules and avoid reckless behaviors. Traffic rules are enforced to ensure that traffic flows smoothly and no collisions happen, so if motorcyclists try to break them, they are putting themselves and other people around them in danger. Reckless behaviors also pose the same risk. Drunk driving, distracted driving, speeding, tailgating, and weaving between lanes are just some of the habits motorcyclists should avoid.
Getting involved in a motorcycle accident may have devastating consequences, and there are even times where the consequences are severe enough to be fatal. It is even worse if a motorcyclist's recklessness or negligence has put another person in danger, such as a motorcycle passenger, a driver of another car, or a pedestrian. For sure, they can file lawsuits against these motorcyclists as well.
