OTTAWA — The House of Commons Speaker has intervened to end a parliamentary impasse, ruling that opposition business will happen later this week after the Conservatives blocked their own ability to try and bring down the government this morning. Greg Fergus has scheduled opposition days for Thursday and Friday, meaning the government could face another non-confidence vote as early as Monday. His decision follows an unsuccessful attempt this morning by Liberal House leader Karina Gould to temporarily stop a filibuster that has taken up much of the Commons' time for nearly two months. The Conservatives signalled an intent to introduce a non-confidence motion quoting NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh's criticism of the Liberals, in a bid to get his caucus to vote to bring down the minority government. But the Tories rejected Gould's offer to have that motion heard today, with the party saying it would only end its filibuster if the Liberals provide documents they're demanding, or if the NDP agrees to vote non-confidence in the government. The filibuster is part of an ongoing privilege debate related to a Conservative demand that the Liberals provide unredacted documents to the RCMP about allegations of misspending at a now-defunct green technology fund. Opposition parties must be given four days to introduce their own motions before Dec. 10 — also the deadline for the House to vote to approve billions of dollars in spending, without which some government departments risk running out of money. Two Conservative opposition motions declaring non-confidence in the government were defeated in September with the Bloc Québécois and the NDP voting against them. The Bloc has since pledged to work with the other opposition parties to defeat the government after the Liberals refused to adopt a Bloc bill to raise old age security payments for seniors under age 75. However, Bloc Leader Yves-François Blanchet said his party would only vote in favour of non-confidence motions that are deemed to be in the best interests of Quebec. Singh has said his party will take each non-confidence vote on a case-by-case basis, and has said that while his party is ready for an election it does not want to push for one immediately.

Hunter shot 7 of 10 from 3-point range for the Tigers (5-0), who were 12 of 22 from beyond at the arc as a team. PJ Haggerty had 22 points and five assists, Colby Rogers had 19 points and Dain Dainja scored 14. Tarris Reed Jr. had 22 points and 11 rebounds off the bench for the Huskies (4-1). Alex Karaban had 19 points and six assists, and Jaylin Stewart scored 16. Memphis led by as many as 13 with about four minutes left in regulation, but UConn chipped away and eventually tied it on Solo Ball’s 3-pointer with 1.2 seconds remaining. Memphis: The Tigers ranked second nationally in field goal percentage going into the game and shot it at a 54.7% clip. UConn: The Huskies saw their string of 17 consecutive wins dating back to February come to an end. The teams were tied at 92 with less than a minute remaining in overtime when UConn coach Dan Hurley was assessed a technical foul for his displeasure with an over-the-back call against Liam McNeeley. PJ Carter hit four straight free throws — two for the tech and the other pair for the personal foul — to give Memphis a 96-92 lead with 40.3 seconds to play. UConn had three players foul out. Memphis attempted 40 free throws and made 29 of them. Memphis will play the winner of Colorado-Michigan State on Tuesday in the second round of the invitational.

SEATTLE (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks took a bumpy path to sole possession of first place in the NFC West. Sunday's 26-21 win over the Jets featured several special teams miscues, including a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by New York. On the flip side, the Seahawks got their second pick-6 in as many weeks and just enough production by Geno Smith and the offense. The Seahawks' uneven performance was characteristic of a season in which they started 3-0, then lost five of six before winning another three in a row to take command of their underachieving division. Seattle (7-5) leads Arizona by one game, with a matchup against the Cardinals looming next weekend. Zach Charbonnet gave Seattle its first lead of the day on an 8-yard touchdown run with 5:37 to go, and the Seahawks' defense capped another strong outing with a game-sealing stop on fourth down. After a sack by Leonard Williams gave the Jets a fourth-and-15 at the 34-yard line, Aaron Rodgers threw a desperation pass to Garrett Wilson that fell incomplete, giving Seattle the ball with 33 seconds left. What’s working Williams is on a tear. After losing out on NFC defensive player of the week honors last week to teammate Coby Bryant despite 2 1/2 sacks and four quarterback hits, “Big Cat” had an even better game. Williams finished with two sacks, three tackles for loss, a 92-yard interception return for a touchdown that was the longest pick-6 in NFL history by a defensive lineman, and a blocked extra point. The touchdown was the first of Williams’ career. He became the first player since 1982 with multiple sacks, an interception return for a touchdown and a blocked kick in a game. Maybe this week the league will agree he was the NFC's best defender. What needs help The special teams could not have been much worse in the first half. The Seahawks fumbled three kickoffs, losing two, and allowed Kene Nwangwu's 99-yard kickoff return for a TD. Dee Williams fumbled on a kickoff in the first quarter to give New York the ball at the 27-yard line, and four plays later, Rodgers hit Isaiah Davis for a touchdown to give the Jets a 14-0 lead. Laviska Shenault Jr. muffed two kicks and fumbled at the Seattle 38-yard line in the second quarter. Seattle also had an extra point blocked. Stock up Smith led his third game-winning drive of the season and his 11th since he became Seattle’s starting quarterback in 2022. Facing the team that drafted him in 2013, Smith went 20 of 31 for 206 yards and a touchdown. For the first time in five weeks, he was not intercepted. The Seahawks trailed by 14 points on two occasions, but Smith brought Seattle back while avoiding the untimely picks that dogged him recently. He threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Barner in the second quarter, and led the Seahawks on a go-ahead nine-play, 71-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter. Stock down Coach Mike Macdonald and his staff have to address the problem with their kick returners, Shenault and Dee Williams. Two lost fumbles and several muffs could have easily cost Seattle the game. Injuries WR DK Metcalf left the game briefly with a knee issue but returned. ... P Michael Dickson was unavailable in the fourth quarter because of back spasms. Key number 38 — The Seahawks decided to go for it on fourth-and-6 at their own 33-yard line with 9:34 left in the game. A primary reason was that Dickson was unavailable to punt because of back spasms. The Jets were flagged for having 12 men on the field after sending a punt returner out, which gave Seattle fourth-and-1 at the 38. The Seahawks got a first down after Jets cornerback Quantez Stiggers was flagged for pass interference on Metcalf, and eight players later, Charbonnet scored to put Seattle ahead. Without going for it on fourth down from their own 38, the Seahawks likely would’ve lost. Up next The Seahawks will seek a season sweep of the Cardinals. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
The J.M. Smucker Co. Completes the Divestiture of Voortman® Brand to Second Nature Brands and Updates Fiscal Year 2025 Net Sales OutlookWe’ve all seen the PC builds that go all out, relying on the most expensive components to guarantee the best performance possible. But it doesn't require best-in-slot PC parts to have a little fun with most games, and usually there’s a point of diminishing returns as you invest in ever more powerful and expensive hardware. If you’re trying to build or upgrade a rig within a moderate budget, there's plenty of hardware that strikes a great balance between performance and value in the Intel Core CPU and Intel Arc GPU lines. Intel has been known for strong gaming CPUs for years. From the 12th Gen onward, many of the Core i5 and Core i7 CPUs are more than up to the task. 12th, 13th, and 14th Gen Intel Core CPUs have some big perks for gamers, with potent Performance Cores that can wrangle most games you throw at them. And they back those up with Efficient Cores that help handle your system’s background tasks, thereby freeing up the P-Cores to focus on ensuring consistent gaming performance. With older games, a single fast core can be all it takes to get good performance, and most of Intel’s recent Core processors will give you a handful, so even newer games that leverage more cores have plenty of system resources. Even going back to the Intel Core i5-12600K, you’d be looking at a 10-core CPU with ample speed to handle most games, and recent pricing makes it easy to pick up for well below $200. This chip would give you six of those Performance cores and four Efficient Cores. This is a consistent story for Intel CPUs, which can often be found with compelling deals. There are plenty that even help you kickstart your build or upgrade by combining a CPU and motherboard into a bundle that helps you get both at a discount. It’s not just Intel CPUs delivering value for budget-minded PC upgrades and builds. The Intel Arc A-series and newly launched B-series GPUs can also give you a chunk of performance for a fraction of the price of the competition. Intel’s recent integrated graphics have proven quite impressive and can often handle lighter games and lower resolutions, but if you need some extra graphical muscle to render more complex 3D games or push to higher resolutions like 1440p, Intel Arc graphics cards can support you while playing into your budget. Acer, ASRock, and Sparkle all make some good-looking and capable graphics cards built around the Intel Arc A770, A750 and the new B580 GPUs. These are almost all available for under $300, sitting them solidly in the budget price range for new graphics cards. Impressively, they come with a decent chunk of VRAM, which helps with running games at higher resolution and with higher quality settings. Even for demanding titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla at 1440p Ultra, the A770 can offer smooth gameplay. It even supports low level ray tracing for more realistic lighting and reflections. And now, Intel has a new generation of GPU available with the first Intel Arc B-series graphics cards. These continue to provide value for gamers who want more performance, with improved ray tracing and features such as XeSS 2 upscaling, frame generation and latency reduction. If you want to see what kind of system you can build out with Intel Arc and Intel Core components, you can find all sorts of deals, bundles, and complete builds available at Newegg here .LYNCHBURG, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 2, 2024-- BWX Technologies, Inc.

In the ongoing Sambhal case, a troubling development has emerged: threats are being made against Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer representing the Hindu side of the mosque-temple dispute. A contentious issue has surfaced in Sambhal regarding whether the land of the Jama Masjid was once a Hindu temple. In today's episode of DNA, Zee News has presented the irrefutable evidence suggesting that the Jama Masjid was constructed over an ancient Hindu temple, as evidenced by the findings from a recent survey. When Zee News reporters hit the ground to investigate, startling revelations came to light that will force many people, who claim the area to be only a mosque, to rethink their stance. Threats to Legal Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain In the ongoing Sambhal case, a troubling development has emerged: threats are being made against Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer representing the Hindu side of the mosque-temple dispute. His role in the case has made him a target, and disturbing messages indicate a serious threat to his life. This raises questions about the motivations behind such threats. Could they be aimed at derailing the case, or is there a more sinister agenda at play? Vishnu Shankar Jain: Targeted for Exposing the Truth? Vishnu Shankar Jain has been at the forefront of legal battles related to Hindu religious sites, including the Ram Mandir-Babri case, Kashi Vishwanath-Gyanvapi case, and others. Recently, in Sambhal, Jain has been accused by certain quarters of inciting violence during the mosque survey, despite evidence to the contrary. CCTV footage clearly shows the attackers, not Jain, responsible for the violence, yet Jain has been targeted on social media, with claims that he incited the riots. In an exclusive interview, Jain refuted these accusations and suggested that the threats against him are aimed at silencing the truth and derailing the case. His response raises some critical questions: Is there a truth about the Jama Masjid in Sambhal that some groups want to suppress? Why is Vishnu Shankar Jain being targeted? The Ground Reality of the Sambhal Riots The recent riots in Sambhal have seen the active involvement of violent mobs. CCTV footage from November 24 shows masked individuals throwing stones in narrow lanes, an act fueled by a provocative figure who is seen encouraging the crowd. This individual, dressed in white with a black shawl and cap, repeatedly gestures for the mob to advance and escalate their actions. This footage has led to the identification of key figures responsible for inciting violence. Following the riots, the police came under scrutiny for their actions, with accusations that they fired indiscriminately on a Muslim crowd. However, further investigation, including more video evidence, suggests that the police were simply maintaining order and did not act as recklessly as some critics have claimed. New Claims of Ancient Temple Artifacts in Sambhal In addition to the mosque-temple dispute, new claims have surfaced about ancient Hindu temple artifacts found in Sambhal. Archaeologists claim that remnants of the Hindu temple of Lord Vishnu, including idols and relics from the Gupta period, have been discovered. These claims support the theory that the Jama Masjid in Sambhal was built over an ancient temple. Atul Mishra, an archaeologist from Sambhal, and his family have collected these artifacts over the years, including a statue of Lord Vishnu and a relic resembling the Vishnu chakra. Mishra argues that these findings, combined with historical records, suggest that the Jama Masjid site was once home to the Harirh Temple, which was demolished to construct the mosque. ASI’s Allegations Against Jama Masjid Committee Another intriguing angle to the dispute involves the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). ASI has filed an affidavit in the Sambhal court accusing the Jama Masjid management of obstructing archaeological inspections. Despite the Jama Masjid being a protected monument since 1920, ASI officials claim that they have been denied access to carry out necessary preservation work. In recent inspections, ASI found alterations to the mosque structure that they believe were made to hide its original temple-like foundation. This raises the question: Why is the Jama Masjid committee interfering with ASI’s work? Are they trying to cover up evidence that could reveal the truth about the mosque’s origins?
