‘He knew how to entertain on and off the ice': Cam Neely and Bob Sweeney fondly remember ex-Bruins teammate Lyndon Byers
A native of Nipawin, Saskatchewan, Byers played 261 games across nine seasons in Boston. He became a fan favorite/cult hero shortly after the franchise took him in the second round of the 1982 NHL Draft. A prolific scorer during his junior days — he netted 32 goals in back-to-back seasons with the WHL's Regina Pats — Byers morphed into an energetic enforcer at the NHL level. To wit: He collected 613 penalty minutes in 145 games from 1987-90. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up A prolific scorer during his junior days, Lyndon Byers morphed into an energetic enforcer at the NHL level. Bill Brett/Globe Staff Advertisement 'The thing I think people don't realize about LB, he was a talented offensive player coming out of junior hockey, but he also could take care of himself,' said Sweeney, himself a 1982 Bruins draftee who is now the president of the Boston Bruins Foundation. Byers was a colorful character who fit in perfectly with the rough and tumble Bruins teams of the late 1980s that included heavy hitters Jay Miller and Nevin Markwart alongside Cam Neely, the league's preeminent power forward. A member of the 1988 team that broke the Canadiens' 45-year playoff stranglehold on the Bruins, Byers played on two Stanley Cup Final teams. Advertisement Cam Neely always knew Lyndon Byers had his back. Bob Dean/Globe Staff Byers took on all customers, and Neely, his close friend and now the franchise's president, appreciated the attitude of his fellow right winger. 'One of the things about a guy like LB, he probably went into every game thinking, 'I may have to fight today.' And that's a different mind-set to have as a hockey player, as an athlete. It's like, 'Wow, I might have to fight.' And that was certainly the case when you go into Philly and you could just see how wound up he was, knowing that that probably will take place. Like it did enough times in various buildings, but in Philly in particular,' Neely said. 'But just knowing that he's got your back. Any time that he was in the lineup, you knew he had your back. No matter who you were on the team, everybody felt like, 'OK, we've got someone that's got our back,' and that was LB.' Neely said Byers knew when it was time to drop the gloves but also when it was time to drop a comical line to loosen up his teammates. The man knew how to read the room. 'He loved to have a good time. No question. Funny man. But you grew up in Saskatchewan, you're a little bit of a different breed, and I can say that lovingly because I spent 10 years of my life there. So those Saskatchewan boys are different. It's an interesting way to grow up. Hockey's a big part of it,' said Neely. 'I've met a lot of really good people through LB that played the game that are from Saskatchewan. But it was his sense of humor, and he knew the timing of it to get the room loosened up a little bit. He did a really good job of that. Maybe sometimes a little too much, but he knew when to loosen it up and when to tighten it up.' Advertisement Cam Neely said of friend and former Bruins teammate Lyndon Byers: "He loved to have a good time. No question." Grossfeld, Stan Globe Staff Byers later worked as a radio host at WAAF for nearly 25 years, often regaling listeners with tales from his playing days. It was a second career that surprised neither Neely nor Sweeney. 'That was kind of meant to be for him. He was not shy. The great thing about hanging out with LB, I could just let him do his thing and I could just sit in the corner and enjoy the show,' said Neely. 'He knew it was about entertainment, and he knew how to entertain both on and off the ice.' Sweeney appreciated how Byers, who was known for starting sentences with 'not for nothing,' never took himself too seriously on the air. 'He would always do the 'Sports Minute,' and he would screw something up or whatever,' said Sweeney, 'and his listeners would always call in and say, 'LB, that's the NBA, not the WNBA,' or whatever it was. And he'd be like, 'Yeah, whatever, kid. Get over it, guy.' ' Neely said a memory that will stick with him was seeing Byers during the New Blood, New Beginnings Centennial Era Night at TD Garden on Jan. 20, 2024. 'Looking back now, for him to be on the ice and be received the way he did by the fans, because they certainly appreciated the way he played as a Bruin, and for him to experience that with his wife and [son] Will in the building, I think that probably meant the world to him to be able to have that experience,' said Neely. 'He was long from his playing days before he had his son. So, I think for his son to see what he meant to Bruins fans, I think was something very special for LB.'

Smart sensors used in study to detect cognitive decline in seniors who live alone
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox SINGAPORE – Ms Julie Chia lives alone in a flat in Tampines and keeps herself active despite her advanced age. The 97-year-old feels secure each time she heads out, whether it is to the Lions Befrienders (LB) Active Ageing Centre at her void deck to play Rummy-O with her friends or nearby to buy the newspaper and her dinner. The sprightly woman is among more than 200 seniors living alone who have been recruited since 2020 for a longitudinal study looking into using smart sensor technology to detect mild cognitive impairment (MCI) – a condition that increases one's risk of developing dementia – in order to respond to it early. This will help seniors to age better and remain for longer in the community. 'With this (beacon sensor) on my keychain, I know that whenever I go out, someone knows. I feel more relieved,' said Ms Chia. What the researchers have gathered from the second phase of the study, with sensor data collected from 63 seniors living alone, is that the machine learning-based prediction technology is able to detect MCI at a 90 per cent accuracy rate. This is an improvement from the previous performance of 70 per cent obtained in the first phase of the study in 2020. The data for the study is generated by eight sensors placed in different parts of the participants' homes, such as the living room, under the mattress, inside their medicine box or cabinet, and on the door. A sensor resembling a tag is also attached to their keychain to help track whether the senior participants have their keys with them when they go out. Additionally, the seniors are given a wearable device to measure their daily steps and heart rate. In Ms Chia's case, the sensors were installed at her home in April 2021. Unlike a traditional video surveillance system that captures images and voices, the sensors monitor movement and daily routines discreetly, including sleep patterns, physical activity and memory lapses. They also track how often the senior moves around the flat or goes out and for how long, how well he or she sleeps, or the frequency of forgetting personal items, particularly their medications. A sensor resembling a tag is also attached to their keychain to help track whether the senior participants have their keys with them when they go out. ST PHOTO: TARYN NG The longitudinal study, called Sensors In-home for Elder Wellbeing , is led by Associate Professor Iris Rawtaer, head and senior consultant at the department of psychiatry and director of research at Sengkang General Hospital , and p rofessor of computer science Tan Ah Hwee from Singapore Management University. It is estimated that there will be 152,000 individuals living with dementia in Singapore by 2030, and 187,000 by 2050. While global study statistics vary, up to half of all people with MCI go on to develop dementia within five years, said Prof Rawtaer. In 2024, the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care found that 45 per cent of cases of dementia could potentially be delayed by addressing some of the modifiable risk factors, such as social isolation, untreated vision loss and high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, commonly known as bad cholesterol. However, many people are not even aware of experiencing MCI, the at-risk state for dementia. They seek help only after significant cognitive decline has occurred, missing the crucial window for intervention and advanced planning, said Prof Rawtaer. This is where the sensor system can help. 'Nine out of 10 times, it essentially outperforms your pen and paper routine screening instruments like your MMSE (Mini-Mental State Examination) and your Moca (Montreal Cognitive Assessment),' Prof Rawtaer told The Straits Times. MMSE and Moca are brief screening tools used to assess cognitive function and detect MCI as well as mild dementia. The participants in the study go through detailed neurocognitive assessments yearly, providing the benchmark against which the machine learning models in the sensor system are tested. 'The question is whether seniors can accept the use of the sensor system. Is this intrusive? Is this inconvenient? Is this going to be something that we can scale and do in the long term in the community?' Prof Rawtaer said. Ms Chia, for instance, did not have her wearable device – a study requirement – on her on the day of the interview. A spokesman for LB, who was with her that day, said the seniors may forget to charge their wearable device. Prof Tan said that for the second phase of the study, the team developed an advanced machine learning-based artificial intelligence (AI) model to handle irrelevant or missing sensor data due to hardware failure, for instance. The AI can also explain why it flagged someone as being at risk, he said. As an example, it has learnt that people with MCI often move around less while at home and are more likely to forget to take their medication. 'At SMU, we have one data engineer and two data analysts looking at the data. Moving forward, we are thinking that we should partner with a commercial party... to be able to do this in a viable manner. It's not just the installation of the equipment but the maintenance and the day-to-day monitoring,' he said. The total installation cost of the sensor system is below $1,000. In the third planned phase of the study – for which the researchers are awaiting funding – they will test the sensors in multi-person households, and look at new digital biomarkers and how to reduce the numbers of sensors used to make the monitoring system more efficient and affordable. Beyond cognitive assessment, the smart sensor system could be expanded to support safety monitoring and health assessment, the researchers said. LB's executive director Karen Wee said the smart sensor system has a lot of potential not just in helping seniors to age well in the community, but also in enabling providers like it to better support the seniors. 'Wearables may not be something that the seniors of today are keen on, but who is to say that in 10 years' time they will not be widespread,' she said.

Stock Movers: Planet Labs, Five Below, PVH
On this episode of Stock Movers: - Planet Labs (LB) is higher this morning after reporting profit that beat expectations as Europe hikes defense spending in response to the United States pulling back from the continent. Earnings excluding some items were $1.2 million in its first quarter, according to a statement Wednesday, its second profitable quarter in a row and better than analysts' average expectation of a $3 million loss. - Five Below (FIVE) is gaining in premarket trading after the discount stores company reported first-quarter results that beat expectations and guided for net sales in the second quarter that are above estimates. - PVH (PVH), the owner of Calvin Klein, is lower after cutting its full-year adjusted earnings per share guidance, and noted that the outlook reflects an estimated net negative impact in relation to tariffs placed on goods coming into the US. Negative impact from tariffs includes an 'unmitigated impact of approximately $1.05 per share, and a partially offsetting impact of planned mitigation actions,' the company said in a statement. - Tesla (TSLA) continues to decline this morning after vehicle shipments from its China factory fell for an eighth straight month, as reported yesterday. Also weighing on the stock is the back and forth between owner Elon Musk and President Trump over the Congressional tax bill. - Land's End Inc.

Georgia will host Notre Dame LB commit Thomas Davis Jr. on an official visit this weekend
Georgia will host Notre Dame LB commit Thomas Davis Jr. on an official visit this weekend While Notre Dame football has had plenty of success recruiting former NFL players son's, for linebacker commit Thomas Davis Jr., there seems to be a late pull towards his father's alma mater Georgia. The 6-foot, 2-inch and 205-pound prospect made his verbal commitment to the Irish in November of last year, but has been flirting with the Bulldogs recently. Davis was offered by them earlier this month, and it was enough for him to schedule an official visit to Athens this weekend according to a report from On3. The nation's No. 189 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings should now be put on a flip watch, as the only other official he had scheduled was to visit South Bend in two weeks. Hopefully that isn't the case, as Davis is just making sure that he has made the right decision with his commitment to Notre Dame. This situation is one to monitor going forward, as the only other linebacker commit that the Irish have in the 2026 class is Jakobe Clapper.
