This is a simple act that is lifesaving advice. Firefighters and civilians have died in fires that were worsened by doors left open by people who escaped. We have taught MANY case studies where this was factor in fatalities. Close the door!

@GovSherrillNJ @NewJerseyDOE THEN FIX THE SCHOOL FUNDING FORMULA, make it transparent, and stop penalizing districts like Jackson who are fiscally responsible, well under state average per pupil spending, AND are funded at millions of dollars under adequacy by the state’s own math. Actions not words!

My Administration’s focus is simple – protect and invest in our kids. We’re increasing funding to education, expanding mental health support, creating the Social Media Research Center, and strengthening the communities they grow up in. I’m making sure every child in New Jersey has the opportunity to succeed.

@MattGilesBD I was in Cameron that night watching on the big screen (I was a junior). It. Was. Crazy.

Today's "Random Duke Basketball Lore" takes us back to March 30, 1991, and is my all-time favorite memory. Duke stunned UNLV at the Final Four on the same floor in Indianapolis that Dean Smith got ejected in UNC's loss to Kansas a few hours earlier. Ended UNLV's 45-game winning streak, a year after losing by 30 to the Runnin' Rebels in the title bout. In my mind, the win will always remain the most important in program history.😈🏀🎥⬇️

Breaking: Duke guard Cayden Boozer will return for his sophomore season at Duke, the team announced.

On this night 34 years ago, in what was Christian Laettner's final college game, Duke basketball humbled the Fab Five and captured its second straight national title by defeating Michigan, 71-51.😈🏀🏆🎥⬇️

On this date 11 years ago, Duke basketball freshman Grayson Allen erupted off the bench to help propel the Blue Devils to a 68-63 win over Wisconsin and the program's fifth national title.😈🏀🏆🎥⬇️

April 6 has been kind to Coach K 👀 Two of his five national titles came on this date, including 1992, when Duke beat Michigan’s Fab Five 71-51. Grant Hill and Christian Laettner combined for 37 points, nearly matching the Fab Five’s 41 by themselves, as Duke pulled away with a dominant second half.

On this day in 2015, Duke won its most recent national championship, beating Wisconsin 68-63 🏆 Tyus Jones led the way with 23 points and delivered the dagger, a 3-pointer with under 90 seconds left to push the lead to 66-58.

April 5, 2010 —📍Lucas Oil Stadium Duke 61, Butler 59 • Kyle Singler: 19 pts, 9 reb (MOP) • Jon Scheyer: 15 pts, 6 reb, 5 ast • Nolan Smith: 13 pts, 4 ast • Brian Zoubek: 8 pts, 10 reb In a gritty, defensive battle, Duke led 33–32 at halftime. Neither team led by more than 6 points, but the Blue Devils executed multiple baseline out-of-bounds plays to generate timely baskets throughout the second half. The Big Three combined to score 47 of Duke’s 61 points. With 3.6 seconds left, Zoubek intentionally missed his second free throw, giving Butler and Gordon Hayward one last chance. Hayward’s half-court heave nearly went in at the buzzer, but Duke survived the scare to capture its fourth national championship! #Duke

April 4, 2015 —📍Lucas Oil Stadium Duke 81, Michigan State 61 • Justise Winslow: 19 pts, 9 reb • Jahlil Okafor: 18 pts, 6 reb • Quinn Cook: 17 pts • Grayson Allen: 9 pts, 5 reb Duke used a 30-11 run in the first half to take a halftime lead and never looked back, shooting 52% from the field while dominating inside and on the glass. Behind balanced scoring and strong defense, the Blue Devils never trailed in the second half to advance to the National Championship game #Duke

On this day 34 years ago, Coach K's 1991-92 Blue Devils overcame a five-point halftime deficit to pick up an 81-78 Final Four win over Bobby Knight's Indiana Hoosiers en route to Duke eventually capturing its second straight national title.😈🏀🎥⬇️

The Duke 2010 team wasn’t the most talented Coach K team, but they had what mattered most: Toughness. Trust. Togetherness. It was one of his most satisfying titles in Duke history. Was this Coach K’s most impressive championship run?

Cooper Flagg (19 years, 103 days old) is the first teenager in NBA history with a 50-point game 😳

Duke basketball senior forward Maliq Brown will leave Durham as the reigning ACC Defensive Player of the Year and now also the well-deserved Lefty Driesell Award winner as the nation's top defender.😈🏀🦾⬇️

April 1, 1991 —📍Hoosier Dome Duke 72 Kansas 65 • Christian Laettner: 18 pts, 10 reb (MOP) • Bobby Hurley: 12 pts, 9 ast • Bill McCaffrey: 16 pts Duke captured its first National Championship in program history and first for Coach K! #Duke

March 30, 1991: 9.5-point underdog Duke beats previously undefeated UNLV 79-77 in the Final Four en route to the school’s first national championship.

March 28, 1992 —📍The Spectrum Duke 104, Kentucky 103 • Christian Laettner: 31 pts • Bobby Hurley: 22 pts • Grant Hill: 11 pts, 7 ast The greatest game in college basketball history, Duke trailed by one with 2.1 seconds left in OT before Laettner’s buzzer-beater #Duke
