NoneNeal Stephenson mixes polo, politics, and power in the novel ‘Polostan’The Boston Celtics hold the second-best record in the NBA after 18 games (15-3), just behind the Cleveland Cavaliers (17-1). The bad news for the rest of the Association is that the Celtics just got Kristaps Porzingis back in the fold after missing the first 17 games. For veteran point guard Antonio Daniels, that’s as close a cheat code as any team could have. “It’s wild to think how dominant the Boston Celtics have been, and they got back Kristaps Porzingis yesterday,” said Daniels in an interview with SiriusXM NBA Radio’s Rob Perez. “7-foot-4, 7-foot-3, can step out and shoot it. If you switch, he’s not a physical post up guy, but he has a touch soft enough to shoot over you. Defensively, has the foot speed and length to switch.” “He is literally the perfect compliment to finish out that Boston 5. The perfect compliment to Jrue Holiday, Derrick White, Jayson Tatum, and Jaylen Brown,” added the 13-year veteran. The Latvian came over from the Washington Wizards in a three-team trade that involved the Memphis Grizzlies and the Celtics during the summer of 2023. He was wallowing in mediocrity the past few seasons and had trouble staying healthy. Brad Stevens rolled the dice on KP, thinking he could bring a different dimension to Boston, so he let go of Marcus Smart to make it possible. Needless to say, the gamble paid off handsomely. The often-missing but much-needed piece For good reason, Porzingis would probably never shake off the “injury-prone” tag for the rest of his career. He only reached 70 games in a season once (his rookie year), missed a year after tearing an ACL, and returned to decent form in DC. He played 57 games for the C’s last season, but when Porzingis is available, they are damn near unbeatable. In 58 regular season appearances (including the Clippers game on November 25), Boston went 44-14. He suited up for seven playoff games in the 2024 postseason, ending with six Celtic victories over a lone defeat. Overall, the Association’s winningest franchise is 50-15 with KP in the lineup, a staggering winning percentage of 77 percent. The Clippers were on a roll, logging five straight in the win column before KP’s Tuesday night debut. It hardly mattered. Porzingis chipped in 16 points, six rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 23 minutes before sitting out in the fourth en route to a 126-94 victory. What KP brings to the table Boston would probably be fine record-wise without KP, but coach Joe Mazzulla noted that the seven-footer ‘adds different layers to what they do.’ “Porzingod” could do pretty much everything on a basketball court, with deep range and versatility to make a Swiss army knife jealous. He is also confident enough in his basketball skills that he could venture outside of his comfort zone, something Jayson Tatum loved about his teammate. “KP essentially did exactly what we needed him to do the entire season,” Tatum said of Porzingis back in June, per MassLive. “Whether it was punishing switches or space the five-man, being in the corner, sometimes that might be going possessions without touching the ball. Or it may be when they’re switching, we give him the ball five times in a row.” “We switch things up a lot and we have so many talented, gifted players on the offensive and defensive end. Everybody’s just got to be open to trying to different things. And I give KP a lot of credit — especially somebody as talented as he is and obviously as tall as he is. A lot of the big guys may be stuck in their ways doing what makes them comfortable. He got outside his comfort zone a little bit and it made us a better team,” added the four-time All-NBA. The Celtics aim to become the first team to win back-to-back titles since the Warriors in 2017 and 2018. As defending champions, they’ll have a target on their backs all season, but with a game-changer like Porzingis on the floor, they have an extra X-factor that keeps opponents on edge.

How Is Gold Taxed?Restoring function

Her colleagues at the University of Nebraska at Kearney call her a “dream hire” who “truly embodies the meaning of being a teacher-scholar.” The students she’s taught describe her as enthusiastic, caring and knowledgeable — the “best teacher I’ve ever had here.” Brooke Envick was recognized Friday with the Leland Holdt/Security Mutual Life Distinguished Faculty Award, the university’s most prestigious faculty honor. Named after UNK alumnus Leland Holdt, the annual award is presented during winter commencement to an individual who demonstrates excellence in teaching, research and service. It comes with a $5,000 stipend. A UNK alumna, Envick earned a bachelor’s degree in management and master’s degree in business administration, then completed a doctorate in organizational behavior at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. She taught at St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, for nearly 20 years before returning to Kearney in 2017 and becoming the third generation of her family to teach at UNK. Currently, she’s a professor in the Department of Management, an associate dean of engagement and retention and an associate dean of faculty and strategic initiatives. “When Dr. Envick agreed to join the CBT leadership team, I was thrilled,” Tim Jares, dean of the UNK College of Business and Technology, said. “She is thoughtful and hardworking and will work tirelessly to help our students have a better future.” As a teacher, Envick emphasizes active learning and innovation, engaging students in the knowledge-construction process. Her classes often include experiential learning exercises that encourage student engagement and development. For example, students created their own board games in her Creativity and Innovation course, and they generate growth plans for small businesses in the Small Business Management class. “Her students have praised her ability to expand on class material by bringing in examples of real-world applications. She also does a great job of connecting with her students and making the material enjoyable to learn,” noted Kyle Luthans, a professor and chair in the Department of Management. Their course evaluations support this statement. “Professor Envick is really good about getting students to engage. The concept of the class is different and very innovative, so I was nervous about it because I don’t see myself as creative. She made me excited to come to class and speak up about my ideas,” one student wrote. “She does a great job of applying the information to the real world. She is very knowledgeable about the stuff she teaches us. She also is very passionate about the subjects she teaches. I wish she taught more of my classes,” another remarked. Envick has received numerous teaching accolades during her career, including the UNK College of Business and Technology Outstanding Teaching Award and the Outstanding Educator Award for Innovative and Creative Teaching from the Academy of Educational Leadership. She also supports students as an undergraduate research mentor and supervisor for graduate-level capstone projects. With a focus on entrepreneurship and small business management, Envick’s research complements her classroom instruction. She has more than 30 peer-reviewed journal publications, and her research has been cited over 800 times. Envick served as an editorial review board member for the Global Journal of Entrepreneurship and Journal of Organizational Leadership and as a reviewer for the Mountain Plains Journal of Business and Technology. She has presented at numerous conferences and received multiple Distinguished Research Awards from the Institute of Global Business Research and Academy of Entrepreneurship. Her work was featured in UNK’s New Frontiers magazine highlighting the best research and creative activity on campus in 2022. “Dr. Envick’s track record in scholarship is just as impressive as her exceptional teaching. The fact that many of her articles grew from projects in her classes clearly illustrates how important the teacher-scholar model has been in guiding her career and how foundational it is to her as a professional,” Jares said. Envick is a member of the University of Nebraska’s “Developing Excellence in Academic Leaders” program and she serves on committees at both the campus and system levels, including the NU President’s Excellence Awards Committee, UNK Enrollment Steering Committee and UNK chancellor search committee. “If every faculty member in CBT, or at UNK, displayed her level of energy and commitment, the sky would surely be the limit for us,” Jares said.
