LeBron James says he’s taking a social media break for now
ATLANTA (AP) — Ahmad Robinson scored 21 points as Mercer beat Georgia State 71-68 on Saturday. Robinson had nine rebounds, 10 assists, and three steals for the Bears (7-6). Tyler Johnson went 7 of 15 from the field (3 for 10 from 3-point range) to add 19 points. Cam Bryant shot 4 for 7, including 3 for 6 from beyond the arc to finish with 11 points. The Bears outscored the Panthers 10-4 over the final 4 1/2 minutes. The Panthers (4-9) were led in scoring by Cesare Edwards, who finished with 20 points and two steals. Georgia State also got 14 points from Malachi Brown. Zarigue Nutter also put up 14 points and four assists. The Panthers prolonged their losing streak to six straight. The Associated Press created this story using technology provided by Data Skrive and data from Sportradar .It's up to Shane Steichen and his Indianapolis Colts staff this week to figure out ways to neutralize the steamrolling Detroit Lions. The Lions head into Indiana on Sunday with an eight-game winning streak, their longest since their first season in Detroit in 1934. They carved up Jacksonville 52-6, while scoring touchdowns on their first seven possessions last week. "They're tough on all three phases, and it shows," Steichen said. "It definitely shows. All those guys are flying around, making plays. They're having fun doing it." Led by Jared Goff, Detroit (9-1) leads the NFL in points scored (33.6 per game) and point differential (plus-159) this season. Goff bounced back from a five-interception outing in Houston by throwing for 412 yards and four touchdowns against the hapless Jaguars. Top target Amon-Ra St. Brown caught 11 passes for a season-high 161 yards and two touchdowns. St. Brown has a receiving touchdown in eight straight games. And the running back duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs has combined to rush for almost 1,400 yards and 18 touchdowns. The powerful Montgomery has found the end zone 10 times, including twice against Jacksonville. "He's a throwback. There are throwback principles about him, and I mean that with all due respect," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said. "His running style is -- it's rare. David is just different, and he's downhill, doesn't give up, first guy, he's not going to let him tackle him, continues to churn his legs, and just violent, violent, never give up, never going down." The lightning-quick Gibbs is averaging 6.0 yards per carry and has eight rushing touchdowns. His one reception last week went for 54 yards. "To me, they're the perfect combination," Campbell said. Indianapolis is scoring just 21.5 points per game and has reached the 30-point mark only one time, in a 37-34 loss at Jacksonville. The Colts rallied to beat the New York Jets last week in the return of super-sized quarterback Anthony Richardson. But Detroit isn't just any opponent. The Lions established a franchise record for points in a six-game stretch last week with 232. "Their offense is super-powered, so we're going to have to do our part, and we're excited for it," Colts receiver Michael Pittman said. The Colts (5-6) reinstated Richardson in the lineup and snapped a three-game losing streak. In the 28-27 victory, Richardson passed for one touchdown and ran for two more, including the go-ahead score with 46 seconds left. "Very encouraged," Steichen said of Richardson's outing. "I think when you go through a three-game stretch like we had and you go on the road and get a win, and winning in the two-minute drive, you get some momentum -- the confidence. Obviously, coming back at home, we've got to continue that momentum and carry that confidence into this week. We're looking forward to it." Richardson didn't throw an interception in 30 attempts, though he fumbled twice and the Jets recovered one of them. He has fumbled eight times this season and lost three of them. They'll be facing a much tougher opponent this week, though one of the Lions' top defenders, linebacker Alex Anzalone, sustained a broken forearm on Sunday and was placed on injured reserve. "Just seeing the toughness from our team. We're definitely trying to carry that over because we know we're getting ready to play a physical team," Richardson said. "So, they're going to bring it to us. We got to bring it to them. But just trusting my guys each and every play, like I did in that fourth quarter, and just trust in my ability. I feel like I'm a decent football player, and I like to make plays out there." Detroit tight end Sam LaPorta missed the game last week with a shoulder injury but is cleared to play against the Colts. Cornerback Ennis Rakestraw Jr. will not play Sunday due to a hamstring injury and fellow cornerbacks Terrion Arnold (groin) and Emmanuel Moseley (pectoral) are questionable. The Colts listed only offensive tackle Bernhard Raimann (knee) as being unavailable to oppose the Lions. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis (elbow) was considered questionable. --Field Level MediaIntriplex Technologies Honored As Battery Metal Stamping Technology Company Of The Year 2025 By Energy Tech Review

The hosts' outspoken former head coach is in the opposite dugout, however, and he has a point to prove. Keep reading as we explain your England vs Japan live stream options and how you can watch the rugby from anywhere in the world with a VPN . England's recent difficulties in getting over the line — both literally and metaphorically — are well documented.

Tom Curry is expected to return to the squad after overcoming concussion protocols, but Immanuel Feyi-Waboso has not and misses out. Japan are rebuilding, but come into this one off the back of a 36-20 victory over Uruguay last weekend, putting memories of a 52-12 drubbing at the hands of France a fortnight ago on the back burner. There will be plenty of chat in the build-up about Eddie Jones, whose seven-year spell in charge of England has come under recent scrutiny for the 'toxic' environment the head coach fostered in the dressing room.

The stock market is slumping today. Why is the 'Santa rally' over?Black Friday deal: Free admission to Indiana state parksRanchi, Nov 23 (PTI) Hemant Soren, Jharkhand's youngest chief minister, has had a turbulent but resilient political career, marked by legal battles and internal party struggles. Soren, 49, has become a formidable advocate for tribal rights and has carved out a prominent place in the state's political landscape. Soren’s journey to the top has not been easy. From taking charge as CM at a young age to becoming a strong voice for tribal communities, his political career has been shaped by numerous challenges. Hemant Soren, who returned at the helm for a third term days after his release from jail on bail, has had a chequered career. This elections, Soren, along with his wife Kalpana, together addressed around 200 election rallies over the past two months. Soren has consistently accused the BJP-led Centre of attempting to destabilise his administration, calling it a "poaching master" that "could not digest a tribal CM completing a full five-year term." Born on August 10, 1975, in Nemra village near Hazaribag, Soren's early life was influenced by the political legacy of his father, Shibu Soren, the leader of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). However, Hemant was not initially seen as his father's successor. His elder brother, Durga, was the designated heir, but after his untimely death in 2009, Hemant was thrust into the political spotlight and took over the leadership of the state. He did his intermediate studies at Patna High School and later enrolled in Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, Ranchi, though he dropped out. Soren began his political career in 2009 as a Rajya Sabha member, but his tenure there was short-lived. He resigned in 2010 to become Deputy Chief Minister in the BJP-led Arjun Munda government. However, the alliance collapsed in 2012, leading to President's Rule in the state. Despite this setback, Soren’s resolve to lead Jharkhand never faltered. In 2013, Soren became the state's youngest Chief Minister at the age of 38 with the support of Congress and RJD. However, his first term was short-lived, as the BJP took power in 2014, and Soren became Leader of the Opposition. A pivotal moment in his career came in 2016 when the BJP-led government attempted to amend laws protecting tribal land, such as the Chotanagpur Tenancy Act and the Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act. Soren led a massive movement to protect tribal rights, which not only earned him widespread support but also set the stage for his return to power. In 2019, Soren, with the backing of his allies Congress and RJD, reclaimed the Chief Minister’s office. His JMM party won 30 seats, its highest ever in the 81-member Jharkhand Assembly, signaling the growing popularity of his leadership. Soren’s tenure, however, hasn't been free of controversy. In early 2023, he found himself embroiled in a money laundering case linked to a land scam. He was arrested shortly after resigning as Chief Minister on January 31. Following nearly five months in jail, Soren was granted bail by the Jharkhand High Court in June, which observed that there was no likelihood of him committing the offence. Soren has consistently maintained that his arrest was politically motivated, and he has referred to himself as a victim of a conspiracy aimed at undermining his government. Despite these challenges, his strong voice for the state’s tribal population has been central to his political identity. He has been at the forefront of initiatives that aim to empower tribals, ensuring they receive the benefits of the state's economic growth. Under his leadership, the state government launched the 'Apke Adhikar, Apki Sarkar, Apke Dwar' scheme, which brought government services to the doorstep of the people. Furthermore, the expansion of the state's pension scheme and the ‘Mukhyamantri Maiyan Samman Yojana,’ which provides Rs 1,000 financial aid to women in the age bracket of 18-51 years, have become key pillars of his administration. He claims his government’s commitment to social welfare is also evident in the farmer loan waivers he announced in 2023, which were intended to benefit over 1.75 lakh farmers. Additionally, his government has waived outstanding electricity bills and introduced a scheme providing free electricity up to 200 units. Throughout his political career, Soren has faced fierce opposition from the BJP, and he has repeatedly accused the central government of exploiting Jharkhand’s resources. Soren has repeatedly accused the central government of exploiting Jharkhand’s resources without fair compensation, notably raising the issue of the Rs 1.36 lakh-crore in unpaid coal mining dues with PM Narendra Modi. In a recent interview, said the Centre had "squeezed the state like a lemon" for over two decades, enriching itself at the expense of Jharkhand’s poor. Soren’s political journey has also been fraught with internal party struggles. In 2022, he narrowly avoided disqualification as an MLA due to allegations surrounding a mining lease but managed to retain his position as CM. Despite such challenges, his leadership has remained resilient, and his ability to navigate political turbulence has strengthened his position. His leadership, which has combined a strong stance on tribal rights with social welfare initiatives, has earned him both loyal supporters and vocal critics. Regardless of the result, Hemant Soren’s career stands as a testament to his determination to fight for the rights and dignity of Jharkhand’s tribal population.

NoneSelden scores 29, Gardner-Webb takes down Bethune-Cookman 79-64LOS ANGELES (AP) — LeBron James says he’s taking a break from social media. The NBA’s all-time leading scorer and Los Angeles Lakers star posted on X, the platform formerly called Twitter, and Instagram on Wednesday to announce that he’s stepping away from his pages. James has 159 million followers on Instagram, 52.9 million on X. James started the farewell by reposting something that Rich Kleiman, Kevin Durant’s longtime manager, posted to X on Oct. 24. “We can all acknowledge that sports is the last part of society that universally brings people together. So why can’t the coverage do the same?” Kleiman wrote that day. “It’s only click bait when you say it. When the platform is so big, you can make the change and allow us all an escape from real life negativity. I for one find it all a waste of breath.” James, on Instagram, posted a screengrab of Kleiman’s post and added the caption, “Damn shame what it’s come to.” On X, his repost of Kleiman simply said, “AMEN!!” Kleiman has posted only a handful of times since his Oct. 24 post, and evidently, James isn’t planning to post much — or anything — until further notice.

Getting off social media for the time being. Y’all take care,” James posted, followed by emojis of a hand holding up two fingers — often symbolizing someone leaving a place — and a crown, a nod to his “King James” moniker. James, the NBA’s oldest active player — he turns 40 next month — is a four-time NBA champion and a three-time Olympic gold medalist, the most recent of those coming earlier this year at the Paris Games. The Lakers are 10-4, winners of six straight and next play Thursday at home against Orlando.
