BERKELEY, Calif.

Cal came into its tournament without three starters, Jovan Blacksher Jr., DJ Campbell and BJ Omot and the Golden Bears earned back-to-back wins over Air Force and the Hornets. Stojakovic scored a career-high 21 points and freshman guard Jeremiah Wilkinson stepped up with career-best 23 points against the Falcons. Against Sacramento State, Wilkinson came off the bench to score 16 points. Sacramento State took an early 12-7 lead after Emil Skytta hit a pair of free throws five minutes into the game, but Wilkinson hit back-to-back buckets and Stojakovic drew a foul on a three-point attempt and hit all three foul shots to take a 14-12 lead and the Bears pulled away to take a 40-33 lead at intermission. Julian Vaughns knocked down a trey three minutes into the second half to pull Sacramento State even at 43 and his free throw put the Hornets in front. Ryan Petraitis and Wilkinson hit back-to-back 3-pointers to put Cal up 51-47 and the Bears never trailed the rest of the way. Petraitis finished with 13 points, five assists and three steals for Cal (5-1). Joshua Ola-Joseph and Mady Sissoko each added 10 points. Jacob Holt scored 25 points with eight rebounds, two assists and a steal to lead Sacramento State (1-4). Vaughns scored 18 points and EJ Neal added 16.

BRITS on benefits are “self-diagnosing” their mental health problems, the Work and Pensions Secretary admitted yesterday. Liz Kendall said that social media and less stigma around mental illness has contributed to a huge rise in the number of economically inactive adults. On Tuesday Ms Kendall will unveil details of major reforms to deflate Britain’s welfare Bill by £3billion over five years. The proposed changes could see 400,000 people have their benefits cut. Universal credit recipients who refuse job offers or to engage in skills training face sanctions on their handouts. There are currently 4.2 million working aged people claiming health-related benefits, with the figure set to rise by 30 per cent by the end of the decade. READ MORE ON BENEFITS Ms Kendall told the BBC: “I do think we are seeing an increase in the number of people with mental health problems, both self-diagnosed - I think it's good that stigma has been reduced - but also diagnosed by doctors.” Asked whether she believed that "normal feelings" were being "over medicalised", the Work and Pensions Secretary said: "I genuinely believe there's not one simple thing. “There is a genuine problem with mental health in this country." Yesterday the Tories accused Labour ministers of “pussyfooting” around mental health issues and the need to “reduce costs”. Most read in The Sun Shadow Housing Secretary Kevin Hollinrake said: “There are some people in desperate situations with depression . “But getting people into work is usually good for those people. So that's what we've got to do. “I think we have pussyfooted around it and yet we need to really change that approach now and really tackle this issue while we can.”SAN DIEGO, Nov. 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Robbins LLP reminds investors that a class action was filed on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired TMC the metals company Inc.

Plaintiff alleges that on March 25, 2024, TMC disclosed in a filing with the SEC that the Company's financial statements for the first three quarters of 2023 "should be restated and, accordingly, should no longer be relied upon", citing the "re-evaluat[ion of] whether the offsetting entry to the proceeds it received from LCR should be classified as debt or deferred income."
