Our penultimate report card will not be one the Cowboys want to take home to their parents. One to go, and who knows what will be at stake for Washington next weekend, but the Eagles rolled without Jalen Hurts (and in most of the second half without Kenny Pickett) to score 34 unanswered points. So this can’t be pretty. Offense Yes, the Eagles have one of the league’s best defenses this year. But seven points scored and four turnovers served up ? One of them a pick-six. Cooper Rush is not really a deep threat, and the Cowboys lacked a game-breaking player with CeeDee Lamb out, but one touchdown drive in the first quarter was all the offense had to show in this one. And that was with Rico Dowdle rushing for 104 yards. Grade: F Defense They made Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee look like legit quarterbacks, and that’s worrisome, but most of that came after the Cowboys’ offense was funneling turnovers to Philly on a regular basis. In the first half, Dallas did what it usually does against Saquon Barkley , limiting him to 3.1 per carry. But in the second half, with the margin mounting, Barkley went for 127 yards on 18 carries. Cornerback Andrew Booth got targeted frequently, but he’s not even supposed to be out there. Grade: C-minus Special teams Nothing game-changing from this group. Brandon Aubrey had a 61-yard field goal clang off an upright, and the Cowboys’ kick coverage team showed it needs work on a couple of Kenneth Gainwell returns. But the biggest thing that happened on special teams was a player most Cowboys fans and probably some teammates had never heard of (Troy Pride?) getting tossed out in a fight. Grade: C Coaching Mike McCarthy said the team was well prepared. Who can say? An instant pick-6 and three more turnovers removed any chance the Cowboys had of competing Sunday afternoon. Injuries are mounting along with the losses now. Time to put the wraps on this season. Grade: C Overall It was 7-7 even after the pick-6. What happened to that level of competition the Cowboys offense was displaying, save for the early interception? An outmanned team got overrun in the second half even though it was painfully obvious that Kellen Moore was going to keep dialing Barkley’s number with a third-string QB on the field. Cowboys were always going to lose this game, but didn’t need to lose by 34. Grade: D-minus ©2024 The Dallas Morning News. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.Smartwatches for Seniors?

"Till the next date of hearing, the respondents shall not take any precipitative action against the petitioner in so far as it relates to manufacturing of nutraceuticals within the drug manufacturing premises," the court said. Federation of Pharma Enterprises (FoPE), which represents medium and small-scale drug companies, along with Karnataka Drugs and Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association and others had approached the court challenging the Schedule M, arguing that setting up new plant exclusively for cosmetic manufacturing is financially not viable. They pleaded that drug facilities be permitted to manufacture nutraceuticals in the area dedicated for making topical products such as external preparations such as creams and lotions.

(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel )A 13-year-old male Lockport student has been charged by Lockport police in connection with a school threat toward Aaron Mossell Junior High School. The teen was arrested on Dec. 20 and charged with making a threat of mass harm. According to a press release from the Lockport Police Department, the reported threats were posted on a social media platform on Dec. 7. The post indicated that the student had a firearm but Lockport Chief Steven Abbott said no such weapon was found. The threat was investigated without impacting classes at the school. What can be taken away from this, according to Abbott is there are “consequences to your actions.” “You think you’re not going to get charged on it, you will be charged on it. You think your age will matter, it won’t matter. You think you won’t get caught, think again,” he said. Abbott said 2024 saw far fewer school-related threats in Lockport than the previous year, largely because of the response of local, state and even national law enforcement. In 2023, Abbott said that “swatting attacks” or false reports made to draw a response of heavily armed tactical police units, known as S.W.A.T. teams, brought about significantly more investigations than threats in 2024. Investigation by the FBI and ultimately the creation of a national database for such attacks followed dozens of such threats across New York state, including Lockport. Abbott said that he believed that by taking such incidents seriously, potential swatters and other individuals who make these threats are being curtailed. “The lesson is starting to get out there,” he said. Abbott said that the student of this threat was found at his home and the matter has gone on to New York State Family Court. The case is still pending, but according to the press release, the student received a juvenile appearance ticket.
1 2 3 4 Hyderabad: President Droupadi Murmu has said that citizens of the country maintained the flame of national unity for centuries despite attempts to fragment and undermine Indian society. Inaugurating the RSS-backed three-day Lokmanthan event here on Friday, Murmu said artificial divisions have been created to disrupt the inherent unity and stressed that it was important to instil a sense of ‘nation first' among the citizens. The President said that colonial rulers not only ‘exploited India economically' but also aimed to ‘dismantle its social fabric'. She pointed out that those who overlooked India's profound intellectual heritage fostered a sense of cultural inadequacy among the populace. "These impositions eroded our sense of togetherness. Centuries of oppression ingrained a mindset of servitude among the citizens," she said. She emphasised that the essence of Bharatiya (Indian-ness) sustained the spirit of national unity. "Regardless of whether we are ‘vanvasis' (forest dwellers), residents of rural areas or urban citizens, our primary identity is that of being Indians. This profound sense of national unity enabled us to remain cohesive in the face of various challenges," she said. President Murmu underscored India's historical global impact, asserting that the nation's religious traditions, artistic expressions, musical heritage, medical practices, technological advancements, languages and literary contributions have garnered widespread respect. "Indian philosophical systems are pioneers in presenting the world with the concept of ideal life values. We must uphold and reinforce the esteemed legacy of our forebearers," she said. Telangana governor Jishnu Dev Varma said that citizens should thrive and make the commitment to retain the unity in diversity in the country. "Each state has worked on this. All of us combined should take the country forward," he said. Union coal minister G Kishan Reddy, Telangana women and child welfare minister Seethakka and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat attended the event. The three-day event of nationalist thinkers will see the presence of Union ministers Nirmala Sitharaman and Gajendra Shekhawat.

By Elizabeth Pineau and Michel Rose, Reuters French lawmakers passed a no-confidence vote against the government on Wednesday, throwing the European Union's second-biggest economic power deeper into a crisis that threatens its capacity to legislate and tame a massive budget deficit. Far-right and left-wing lawmakers joined forces to back a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier, with a majority 331 votes in support of the motion. Barnier now has to tender his resignation and that of his government to President Emmanuel Macron, making his minority government's three-month tenure the shortest lived in France's Fifth Republic beginning in 1958. He is expected to do so on Thursday morning, French media reported. The hard left and far right punished Barnier for using special constitutional powers to adopt part of an unpopular budget without a final vote in parliament, where it lacked majority support. The draft budget had sought 60 billion euros ((NZ$110 billion)) in savings in a drive to shrink a gaping deficit. "This (deficit) reality will not disappear by the magic of a motion of censure," Barnier told lawmakers ahead of the vote, adding the budget deficit would come back to haunt whichever government comes next. No French government had lost a confidence vote since Georges Pompidou's in 1962. Macron ushered in the crisis by calling a snap election in June that delivered a polarised parliament. With its president diminished, France now risks ending the year without a stable government or a 2025 budget, although the constitution allows special measures that would avert a U.S.-style government shutdown. France's political turmoil will further weaken a European Union already reeling from the implosion of Germany's coalition government, and weeks before U.S. President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House. The country's outgoing defence minister Sebastien Lecornu warned the turmoil could impact French support for Ukraine. The hard left France Unbowed (LFI) party demanded Macron's resignation. Barnier's demise was cheered by far-right chief Marine Le Pen, who has sought for years to portray her National Rally party as a government in waiting. "I'm not pushing for Macron's resignation," she said. "The pressure on the president will get greater and greater. Only he will make that decision." No easy exit from French political crisis France now faces a period of deep political uncertainty that is already unnerving investors in French sovereign bonds and stocks. Earlier this week, France's borrowing costs briefly exceeded those of Greece, generally considered far more risky. Macron must now make a choice. The Elysee Palace said the president would address the nation on Thursday evening. Three sources told Reuters that Macron aimed to install a new prime minister swiftly, with one saying he wanted to name a premier before a ceremony to reopen the Notre-Dame Cathedral on Saturday, which Trump is due to attend. Any new prime minister would face the same challenges as Barnier in getting bills, including the 2025 budget, adopted by a divided parliament. There can be no new parliamentary election before July. Macron could alternatively ask Barnier and his ministers to stay on in a caretaker capacity while he takes time to identify a prime minister able to attract sufficient cross-party support to pass legislation. A caretaker government could either propose emergency legislation to roll the tax-and-spend provisions in the 2024 budget into next year, or invoke special powers to pass the draft 2025 budget by decree - though jurists say this is a legal grey area and the political cost would be huge. Macron's opponents also could vote down one prime minister after the next. Economic pain The upheaval is not without risk for Le Pen. Macron allies sought to present her as an agent of chaos after her party joined forces with the left to down Barnier. "The French will harshly judge the choice you are going to make," Laurent Wauquiez, a lawmaker from the conservative Les Republicains party who backs Macron, told Le Pen in parliament. Since Macron called the summer snap election, France's CAC 40 benchmark stock market index has dropped nearly 10% and is the heaviest loser among top EU economies. The euro EUR=EBS showed little immediate reaction versus the dollar, trading for around $1.05 per euro, but dipping against other European currencies, such as the Swiss franc and the pound . "I'm amazed the euro hasn't moved much," said Nick Rees, senior foreign exchange market analyst at Monex Europe. "There are two major powers in Europe, France and Germany, both of which right now are emasculated." Barnier's draft budget had sought to cut the fiscal deficit from a projected 6% of national output this year to 5% in 2025. Voting down his government would be catastrophic for state finances, he had said. Le Pen shrugged off the warning. She said her party would support any eventual emergency law that rolls over the 2024 budget's tax-and-spend provisions into next year to ensure there is stopgap financing. - ReutersFarrah Abraham, Maitland Ward Call BS on Sophie Rain's OnlyFans Income ClaimNEW YORK (AP) — President-elect Donald Trump wants to turn the lights out on daylight saving time. In a post on his social media site Friday, Trump said his party would try to end the practice when he returns to office. “The Republican Party will use its best efforts to eliminate Daylight Saving Time, which has a small but strong constituency, but shouldn’t! Daylight Saving Time is inconvenient, and very costly to our Nation,” he wrote. Setting clocks forward one hour in the spring and back an hour in the fall is intended to maximize daylight during summer months, but has long been subject to scrutiny. Daylight saving time was first adopted as a wartime measure in 1942. Lawmakers have occasionally proposed getting rid of the time change altogether. The most prominent recent attempt, a now-stalled bipartisan bill named the Sunshine Protection Act , had proposed making daylight saving time permanent. The measure was sponsored by Florida Sen. Marco Rubio , whom Trump has tapped to helm the State Department. “Changing the clock twice a year is outdated and unnecessary,” Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida said as the Senate voted in favor of the measure. Health experts have said that lawmakers have it backward and that standard time should be made permanent. Some health groups , including the American Medical Association and American Academy of Sleep Medicine, have said that it’s time to do away with time switches and that sticking with standard time aligns better with the sun — and human biology. Most countries do not observe daylight saving time. For those that do, the date that clocks are changed varies, creating a complicated tapestry of changing time differences. Arizona and Hawaii don't change their clocks at all.
