Bryce Thompson scored 17 points and achieved a milestone as Oklahoma State defeated Miami 80-74 on Friday afternoon in a Charleston Classic consolation game in Charleston, S.C. Thompson made 6-of-14 shots from the floor, surpassing 1,000 points for his career at Oklahoma State (4-1), which also got 15 points from Marchelus Avery. The Cowboys won in large part thanks to their impressive 3-point shooting (10-for-22, 45.5 percent). Oklahoma State backup guard Arturo Dean, a Miami native, posted eight points and one steal. He led the nation in steals last season while playing for Florida International. Miami (3-2) has lost two straight games in Charleston, failing to take a lead at any point. They will play on Sunday against either Nevada or VCU. The Hurricanes on Friday were led by Nijel Pack, who had a game-high 20 points. Brandon Johnson had a double-double for Miami with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Matthew Cleveland scored 11 points and Lynn Kidd and Paul Djobet added 10 points apiece for Miami. Miami, which fell behind 7-0 in Thursday's loss to Drake, got behind 9-0 on Friday as Abou Ousmane scored six of his eight points. Oklahoma State stretched its lead to 18 before settling for a 43-27 advantage at the break. Pack led all first-half scorers with 10 points, but Miami shot just 29.6 percent from the floor, including 3-of-13 on 3-pointers (23.1). Oklahoma State shot 48.4 percent, including 8-for-15 on 3-pointers (53.3 percent) before intermission. The Cowboys also had a 14-8 edge in paint points. In the second half, Miami closed its 20-point deficit to 55-42 with 12:12 left. Miami got a bit closer as two straight short jumpers by Kidd, trimming the deficit to 73-62 with 3:25 to play. The Hurricanes cut it to 77-70 on Pack's 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining, but the Cowboys hit their free throws to close out the win. --Field Level MediaJammu, Dec 8 (PTI) Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Sunday said developing schools as centres of excellence has been one of his objectives in the Union Territory. Addressing the annual function of a private school here, Sinha highlighted the need for a "knowledge revolution" to help India become a developed country and sustain all-round growth in different sectors of the economy. "Capacity building and developing schools as centres of excellence has been one of my objectives in Jammu and Kashmir and we have created a dynamic and competitive environment of learning to harness the power of students' innovative ideas," the LG said. He emphasised the role of teachers in realising the inherent potential of students and ensuring that the core competencies of Jammu and Kashmir are synergised for a brighter future. "Learning should not be centred around tests and assessment. Learning with proper understanding and proper awakening is necessary to connect the young generation with the moral values and practical aspects of life," he said. Sinha laid special emphasis on developing a productive teaching-learning ecosystem where teachers are not restricted to the curriculum and are free to share their experiences and wisdom with their students. "Unless teachers are empowered, students will not be empowered and unless students are empowered, the nation cannot be strong," he said. Talking about the reforms introduced in the education sector in the last few years, the LG said under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's guidance, "we are witnessing an educational revolution across the country". He also spoke about the impact of artificial intelligence in the modern educational system and its greater role in making the teacher-student engagement more productive. "AI technology should be considered as a supportive tool rather than a complete replacement of teachers. AI-supported classrooms and not AI-led classrooms should be our future strategy," he said.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — If misery loves company, the Jacksonville Jaguars made sure they have just that at the bottom of the AFC South. Even better? The Tennessee Titans sit below them now in the standings thanks to the Jaguars' second win in three trips to Music City. Tank Bigsby ran for an 8-yard touchdown with 6:46 left and Jacksonville snapped a five-game skid and ended the Titans' slim playoff hopes Sunday by scoring the final 10 points for a 10-6 victory. The Jaguars (3-10) came in already eliminated with Trevor Lawrence out for the rest of this season. This is a town where the Jaguars left with only one win in 10 trips before Sunday. These Jaguars also hadn't won any game since Oct. 20. “It’s sort of a relief, right?" Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said of the locker room after the win. "You know, it’s the excitement. It’s the joy of the work that you put in. And you’re finally rewarded.” The Titans (3-10) came in needing to win out to even have a chance of their first playoff berth since the 2021 season ended with a divisional loss on their home field. Tennessee has fired both a general manager and coach since then. The Titans had two late chances to win. “It’s one that we definitely feel like we should have won, could have won and had opportunities to win,” Titans quarterback Will Levis said. Their best chance ended with 1:11 left as Levis missed Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in the end zone on fourth-and-3 at the Jaguars 9. The second ended with Levis missing Tyler Boyd on fourth-and-15 from the Tennessee 35 with 28 seconds remaining. Mac Jones filled in ably enough for Lawrence to get his first win in three starts this season. He shook off two interceptions and one sack, throwing for 220 yards. In the second half, he connected over and over with rookie Brian Thomas Jr. The first-round draft pick out of LSU finished with career highs with eight catches on 12 targets for 86 yards. “We didn’t quit this time, which is really important for us moving forward," Jones said of the Jaguars. "There was no quit.” Pederson also said there was no panic or finger-pointing, just subtle adjustments. “That’s one thing about Mac,” Pederson said of his quarterback. "I mean, he just sticks to it. He grinds it out.” Cam Little started the Jaguars' comeback in the low-scoring affair with a 23-yard field goal early in the fourth. Nick Folk kicked a pair of field goals for the Titans. Tennessee dropped to 1-5 at home this season under first-year coach Brian Callahan, who put this loss on the inability to score on two red zone trips. “That’s the difference in a tight ball game in a divisional game," Callahan said. "You got to score touchdowns down there and we didn’t.” Levis shook off a hard hit to his right, throwing shoulder when sacked by Josh Hines-Allen to end the first half. He stretched his shoulder as he walked off the field to the locker room but didn’t miss a play, returning for the second. He finished with 168 yards passing. The Titans defense, coming off an ugly performance in last week’s loss at Washington , came up with two interceptions. Cornerback Chido Awuzie got the first pick in his first game since Sept. 22 after being activated off injured reserve Saturday. Tennessee couldn't get points off either turnover against the NFL's worst defense in yards allowed and next to worst in points given up per game. Missing three starters with injuries, the Titans couldn't stop the Jags in the fourth quarter. “I’m tired of saying we’ve got to do better, play better,” Titans two-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Jeffery Simmons said. “I don’t know. I don’t have no answers. Complementary football wasn’t there.” The Titans scratched rookie Jha’Quan Jackson who has five fumbles this season, including one of each of the past two weeks. Mason Kinsey, promoted from the practice squad, handled punt returns. The Jaguars unexpectedly scratched RT Anton Harrison because of illness. Cole Van Lanen replaced him, making his first start since being a sixth-round draft pick by Green Bay in 2021. ... S Darnell Savage, who went down at the end of a 21-yard run by Tony Pollard, was being evaluated for a concussion. Titans OLB Harold Landry III was hurt on the Jaguars’ first drive of the third quarter but was back on the next series. The Jaguars host the New York Jets, and the Titans wrap up a back-to-back homestand with Cincinnati.

PDP legislator joins APC in EdoWeek 14 photos: Chicago Bears at San Francisco 49ersMillions of people may now be eligible for increased Social Security benefits as a result of the House’s approval of the Social Security Fairness Act. The Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP) and the Government Pension Offset (GPO) were finally repealed after the House passed the bill by a vote of 325 to 75. In the past, these two provisions prevented Americans who also receive pensions and their spouses from receiving their full monthly Social Security benefits. However, those American workers could now receive full Social Security benefits after they apply for the program and retire, according to the House’s approval of the Social Security Fairness Act . The legislation will apply to all retirement benefits processed by the SSA starting in December 2023, if the Senate also approves it and President Joe Biden gives final approval. The WEP applies to those who have less than 30 years of significant earnings from Social Security-covered employment and also receive a non-covered pension. The government has announced a total change in Social Security benefits Meanwhile, the GPO reduces by almost two-thirds the Social Security benefits for spouses of those receiving a non-covered pension. About 3 million former public employees, including teachers, police officers, firefighters, and their wives, were affected by both laws. Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor at the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek that WEP and GPO can reduce and, in some cases, eliminate Social Security benefits for Civil Service Retirement System annuitants and public sector workers from state and local government entities, including their spouses, widows, and widowers. The Social Security Fairness Act had opposition from several members who were worried that it would hasten the Social Security fund’s impending insolvency. As early as 2035, analysts warn, the Social Security system will run out of money to pay full benefits. Republican Representative Jodey Arrington of Texas said Tuesday that the Social Security trust fund will become insolvent sooner. We should be responsible for this. Every state’s retirees and future retirees should be considered. Moreover, the Social Security Fairness Act has projected a $196 billion cost for the next ten years. These costs may pose problems in the Senate, despite the likelihood that the Social Security Fairness Act would pass. While the House’s passage of this bill is a positive indication that these beneficiaries will eventually be able to access the full benefits to which they are entitled, Beene however, stated that this might not be the end. Priority consideration of the bill in the Senate will be the next and most important step. If the bill is prioritized, it should be an easy final step given the massive support it now has. Millions of Americans believe their Social Security benefits won’t be enough in the long run A new Bankrate study indicates that the majority of Americans are worried about what might happen to Social Security when its retirement trust fund surpasses a projected depletion date in 2033. For instance, 71% of retired persons and nearly three-quarters (73%) of non-retired adults express concern that they won’t get their benefits if the trust fund runs out. A total of 2,492 people participated in the October survey. The results show that these concerns are significant for older Americans who have not yet retired. This includes 81% of working Baby Boomers and 82% of Gen Xers who are concerned that if the trust fund is depleted, they may not receive their benefits in retirement. However, the majority of Gen Z and Millennial respondents (69% and 62%, respectively) share this concern. The monthly benefit payments that Social Security provides to over 72.5 million people, including those who receive Supplemental Security Income, are augmented by trust funds.
