PHILADELPHIA — Joel Embiid has missed 16 games this season because of left knee injury management, knee swelling, personal reasons and a three-game suspension. But after he misses his 17th contest against the Orlando Magic, the 2023 NBA MVP will start to wade into dangerous territory and be in jeopardy, once again, of being disqualified for regular-season awards. The NBA, in cooperation with the National Basketball Players Association, instituted a 65-game rule last season for awards, hoping it would deter players and teams from leaning on load management to take off games. The seven-time All-Star was disqualified last season after playing in only 39 games. The most games Embiid can play in this season is 65 if he participates in all of the remaining contests starting with Sunday’s game against the Bulls in Chicago. But that is highly unlikely since Embiid is not expected to play on back-to-back nights because of load management. Embiid, who has missed the last six games, is averaging career lows of 19.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.0 block. He’s also registering career lows of 37.9% shooting from the field and 16.7% on 3-pointers. While he’ll remain sidelined, Paul George will return after a one game of load management to face the Magic (16-8) at the Wells Fargo Center. Meanwhile, center Andre Drummond (sprained right ankle) was upgraded to questionable after being scheduled to miss the game. His status change could be tied with reserve center Adem Bona being sidelined with a bruised left knee. The Sixers (5-15) will look to avenge Wednesday’s 106-102 loss to Orlando. ©2024 The Philadelphia Inquirer. Visit inquirer.com .

OTTAWA — First Nations leaders are split over next steps after a landmark $47.8-billion child welfare reform deal with Canada was struck down, prompting differing legal opinions from both sides. The Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society have received competing legal opinions on potential ways forward. Ontario Regional Chief Abram Benedict says the chiefs he represents are still hoping the agreement that chiefs outside the province voted down two months ago is not moot. Chiefs in Ontario are interveners in the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal case that led to its realization. He added there are also concerns that some of the elements in the new negotiation mandate outlined by chiefs in an October assembly go beyond the current governance structure of the Assembly of First Nations. "There will have to be action by the Assembly of First Nations in the very near future to advance these positions, but you also need willing partners," Benedict said. "We're still considering what our options are." Those options are also being debated in legal reviews commissioned by the Assembly of First Nations and a board member of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which are both parties to the human rights case, along with Nishnawbe Aski Nation. Khelsilem, a chairperson from the Squamish Nation who penned a resolution that defeated the deal in October, critiqued the stance of Ontario First Nations by saying they negotiated a "bad agreement" for First Nations outside the province and now that chiefs want to go back to the table for a better deal, they want to split from the process entirely. "It potentially undermines the collective unity of First Nations to achieve something that is going to benefit all of us," he said. The $47.8-billion agreement was struck in July after decades of advocacy and litigation from First Nations and experts, seeking to redress discrimination against First Nations children who were torn from their families and placed in foster care. The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal said Canada’s underfunding was discriminatory because it meant kids living on reserve were given fewer services than those living off reserves, and tasked Canada with reaching an agreement with First Nations to reform the system. The agreement was meant to cover 10 years of funding for First Nations to take control of their own child welfare services from the federal government. Chiefs and service providers critiqued the deal for months, saying it didn’t go far enough to ensure an end to the discrimination. They have also blasted the federal government for what they say is its failure to consult with First Nations in negotiations, and for the exclusion of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society, which helped launched the initial human rights complaint. In October at a special chiefs assembly in Calgary, the deal was struck down through two resolutions. The Assembly of First Nations sought a legal review of those resolutions by Fasken Martineau DuMoulin LLP — a firm where the former national chief of the organization, Perry Bellegarde, works as a special adviser. In the legal review from Fasken, it appears as though the assembly asked for direction on how to get "rid" of two resolutions used to vote down the deal, with an employee of the firm saying they can review the resolutions together if they want them both gone, or they can "leave room for compromise" with one of the resolutions. In a statement, the Assembly of First Nations said the review was conducted to assess the legal, technical and operational aspects of the resolutions to ensure their "effective implementation." "The opinions formed by external counsel are their own and do not reflect the views or positions of the AFN," said Andrew Bisson, the chief executive officer, who added it's not unusual for the organization to seek such reviews. Bisson did not address the language used by a Fasken employee to "get rid" of resolutions, but said "the legal and technical reviews were conducted in good faith, not to undermine the chiefs' direction. The chiefs have provided clear direction, and the AFN is committed to following that direction." The legal reviews from Fasken, dated Nov. 15, argue that the October resolutions on child welfare require a significant review of who voted for them, along with changes to the organization's charter should they be implemented. Resolution 60 called for a rejection of the final settlement agreement, and for the establishment of a Children's Chiefs Commission that will be representative of all regions and negotiate long-term reforms. It also called for the AFN's executive committee to "unconditionally include" the Caring Society in negotiations. Fasken said that commission is contrary to the AFN's charter, and the law, because the AFN's executive committee doesn't have the power to create one, and that the executive committee "alone" has the authority to execute mandates on behalf of the assembly. It adds there are no accountability measures for the new negotiation body, and that it will represent regions that are not participants in the AFN. Resolution 61, which built upon resolution 60, is similarly against the charter for the same reasons, the review says. As such, it says, the resolutions can't be implemented. The firm also wrote that there were alleged conflicts of interest during the October vote, saying "numerous proxies were also employees, shareholders, directors, agents or otherwise had a vested interest" in the First Nations child and family service agencies whose interests were the subject of the resolutions. Chief Joe Miskokomon of Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in southwestern Ontario called that "political deception." In response to that review, a board member of the Caring Society, which has been a vocal critic of the July deal, sought their own. The review penned by Aird Berlis for Mary Teegee and dated Dec. 2 stated it was "inappropriate for the AFN to seek, and not disclose, legal opinions which are then cited to attempt to second-guess decisions already made by the First Nations in Assembly." It also states that while the AFN's vice-president of strategic policy and integration, Amber Potts, raised concerns with the movers and seconders of the resolutions, the entirety of the legal opinion the assembly sought was not shared with them. Teegee's review challenges that of the AFN's by saying the resolutions are consistent with the AFN's charter, and that nothing restricts First Nations in assembly from expressing their sovereign will by delegating authority to another entity. "AFN's role and purpose at all times is to effect the sovereign will of First Nations, however it is expressed, on 'any matter' that they see fit," the review from Aird Berlis reads. "It is too late to attempt to question the resolutions. They are now final." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 9, 2024. Alessia Passafiume, The Canadian Press
Major stock indexes on Wall Street drifted to a mixed finish Friday, capping a rare bumpy week for the market. The S&P 500 ended essentially flat, down less than 0.1%, after wavering between tiny gains and losses most of the day. The benchmark index posted a loss for the week, its first after three straight weekly gains. The Dow Jones Industrial Average slipped 0.2%, while the Nasdaq composite rose 0.1%, ending just below the record high it set on Wednesday. There were more than twice as many decliners than gainers on the New York Stock Exchange. Gains in technology stocks helped temper losses in communication services, financials and other sectors of the market. Broadcom surged 24.4% for the biggest gain in the S&P 500 after the semiconductor company beat Wall Street’s profit targets and gave a glowing forecast, highlighting its artificial intelligence products. The company also raised its dividend. The company's big gain helped cushion the market's broader fall. Pricey stock values for technology companies like Broadcom give the sector more weight in pushing the market higher or lower. Artificial intelligence technology has been a focal point for the technology sector and the overall stock market over the last year. Tech companies, and Wall Street, expect demand for AI to continue driving growth for semiconductor and other technology companies. Some tech stocks were a drag on the market. Nvidia fell 2.2%, Meta Platforms dropped 1.7% and Google parent Alphabet slid 1.1%. Among the market's other decliners were Airbnb, which fell 4.7% for the biggest loss in the S&P 500, and Charles Schwab, which closed 4% lower. Furniture and housewares company RH, formerly known as Restoration Hardware, surged 17% after raising its forecast for revenue growth for the year. All told, the S&P 500 lost 0.16 points to close at 6,051.09. The Dow dropped 86.06 points to 43,828.06. The Nasdaq rose 23.88 points to 19,926.72. Wall Street's rally stalled this week amid mixed economic reports and ahead of the Federal Reserve's last meeting of the year. The central bank will meet next week and is widely expected to cut interest rates for a third time since September. Expectations of a series of rate cuts has driven the S&P 500 to 57 all-time highs so far this year . The Fed has been lowering its benchmark interest rate following an aggressive rate hiking policy that was meant to tame inflation. It raised rates from near-zero in early 2022 to a two-decade high by the middle of 2023. Inflation eased under pressure from higher interest rates, nearly to the central bank's 2% target. The economy, including consumer spending and employment, held strong despite the squeeze from inflation and high borrowing costs. A slowing job market, though, has helped push a long-awaited reversal of the Fed's policy. Inflation rates have been warming up slightly over the last few months. A report on consumer prices this week showed an increase to 2.7% in November from 2.6% in October. The Fed's preferred measure of inflation, the personal consumption expenditures index, will be released next week. Wall Street expects it to show a 2.5% rise in November, up from 2.3% in October. The economy, though, remains solid heading into 2025 as consumers continue spending and employment remains healthy, said Gregory Daco, chief economist at EY. “Still, the outlook is clouded by unusually high uncertainty surrounding regulatory, immigration, trade and tax policy,” he said. Treasury yields edged higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury rose to 4.40% from 4.34% late Thursday. European markets slipped. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.1%. Britain’s economy unexpectedly shrank by 0.1% month-on-month in October, following a 0.1% decline in September, according to data from the Office for National Statistics. Asian markets closed mostly lower.Winners, losers as Lions outlast Packers 34-31 on Thursday Night Football
HPE stock rises as Q4 results top estimates, guidance impressesNew Delhi, Dec 21 (PTI) Union Health Minister J P Nadda on Saturday held a virtual meeting with chief ministers/lieutenant governors, and health ministers of states and Union Territories, seeking their support towards the ongoing 100-day Intensified TB Elimination Campaign. At the meeting, Nadda urged the states and Union Territories (UTs) to monitor the campaign at the state level, and ensure the same is done by the political and administrative leadership at the district level. He suggested that to ensure a whole-of-government approach, other ministries and departments can be roped in to support the campaign activities in the spirit of Jan Bhagidari, similar to the approach taken at the national level. Nadda also requested the chief ministers to involve elected representatives, especially MLAs and councillors as well as Panchayati Raj Institutions, in the campaign to help mobilise the communities. Highlighting that the rate of TB decline in India from 2015 to 2024 at 17.7 per cent is double the global average of 8.3 per cent, Nadda said deaths due to TB have reduced significantly in the country by 21.4 per cent in the last 10 years. He also highlighted the importance of active TB testing, screening and diagnosis of patients, and urged the participants to actively monitor the campaign in the identified districts in their respective states. Underlining the support that state ministers can provide to the campaign, he requested them to promote the initiative in their meetings and rallies and come forward as ‘Ni-Kshay Mitras’ to adopt TB patients. Noting that the states have nearly two months’ stock of TB medicines, the minister said the Centre is working towards ensuring advance stock of at least six months to be made available to the states. He concluded his address by encouraging all the stakeholders to reiterate their commitment to eradicate TB. An overview of the 100-day campaign, which aims to reduce TB incidence and mortality in 347 priority districts across the country, was presented during the meeting. It was informed that to increase detection, intensified case finding drives will be conducted using advanced screening and diagnostic technologies to reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment initiation. Parallelly, to reduce mortality due to TB, the programme will expand access to novel initiatives such as Differentiated TB Care to provide specialised care to high-risk patients and increased nutritional support through th Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana. The state ministers were also informed about the various community mobilisation activities that should be undertaken during the campaign, including over 80,000 Ni-kshay Shivirs to monitor progress. Building on the Jan Bhagidaari approach, the campaign aims to mobilise community members to undertake Ni-kshay Shapaths, and urge community leaders, individuals, NGOs and corporates to become Ni-kshay Mitras. Alongside, TB Vijaetas (TB champions) and Ni-kshay Mitras will be recognised for their contributions which will further inspire collective action. Lastly, involvement of Panchayati Raj Institution members will be critical while regular Gram Sabhas on TB will be organised to raise community awareness while ensuring the uptake of essential TB services. Since the launch of the campaign, 53 lakh vulnerable individuals have been screened. Out of these, 2.21 lakh individuals have been tested, leading to the diagnosis of 22,178 new patients. Through the Ni-kshay Poshan Yojana, 17,621 beneficiaries have received direct benefit transfers (DBT), and in total, 16 lakh beneficiaries have been paid Rs 416 crore. Additionally, 1,630 new Ni-kshay Mitras have been registered, collectively adopting over 12,000 patients during the campaign period. Cumulatively, 1.8 lakh Ni-kshay Mitras have adopted 8.63 lakh patients. PTI PLB ARI This report is auto-generated from PTI news service.

SOURCE: Electric Metals (USA) Limited View the original on accesswire.comWarning: This story contains graphic details of violence and mentions of suicide. On Dec. 6, 1989, 14 women, including engineering students, a nursing student and a staff member, were killed in a shooting rampage at Montreal's École Polytechnique by a gunman who shouted: "I hate feminists." Marc Lépine had applied to the school but didn't have the credits needed to be accepted. His friend later told CBC he felt "rejected" by women. It was Canada's deadliest mass killing at the time. Two days later, Francine Pelletier was dealt another shock. She was a columnist for La Presse, and eventually became a co-host at CBC's The Fifth Estate , where she produced a documentary on the tragedy 10 years later. Early that morning in December 1989, Pelletier's editor at La Presse called to tell her that her name was on a hit list found inside Lépine's pocket, along with a handwritten suicide note, and it had been leaked to the newspaper. "So that's that's how I learned that my name and those of many other women had been published in the newspaper without us knowing beforehand," Pelletier said. The list included 19 women Lépine claimed were "radical feminists" who he would have killed if it weren't for a "lack of time." Some were well-known, including a Quebec cabinet minister and a union leader. Francine Pelletier was a columnist at La Presse and a well-known feminist when she learned her name was on the École Polytechnique gunman’s hit list. (CBC) But it wasn't just the hit list itself that angered Pelletier. "That was sort of his last act of bravado," she said. "There is really no conceivable way that he could have done the plan that he had thought out so carefully — the École Polytechnique killings — and at the same time go around the city and shoot various women." Instead, her anger was provoked by why their names were leaked when Montreal police had refused to release the gunman's suicide note. "The most important piece of information that we needed to try and make sense of this was ... put to the side." At the time, there was public debate on what motivated the shooter. Some thought it was an isolated incident, while others believed it was a reaction to the progress women had made in society. Pelletier believed it was a political crime and the note would bring answers the public deserved. "I decided then and there that I didn't know how, but I would get the suicide note." WATCH | Why Lépine's motive came as such a shock: Polytechnique attack was a ‘backlash’ to women’s liberation, journalist says 14 hours ago Duration 0:30 Francine Pelletier explains why Marc Lépine’s motive came as a shock to her and women of her generation. It took months. She asked police directly, but she said they refused to release it, citing fear of possible copycat crimes. She tried requesting through access to information laws and was refused again. Finally, approaching the one-year anniversary of the tragedy, Pelletier got an envelope from an anonymous source in the mail. Inside was a photocopy of the note. She never learned who sent it, despite efforts to find out. In it, Lépine blamed feminists for ruining his life and claimed women wanted the privileges of men. "It was him giving us his reasons for killing," said Pelletier. "He was aiming at feminists in the sense that he was aiming at the progress that had happened in society through women." The next day, she took it to her newspaper and had it published. Before doing so, she says she spoke to Monique Simard, the union leader whose name was also on the list. She agreed it should be made public. WATCH | Pelletier says she had a 'right to know' what went through Lépine's head: Why getting the the gunman’s suicide note was key for Francine Pelletier 14 hours ago Duration 0:50 If her name was on the gunman’s hit list, she told police it was her right to know why the Polytechnique gunman targeted women. "I think that is very significant that it was women's liberation that he was after. And that's what we're seeing now as well." Pelletier points out that 35 years later, gender-based inequality and violence is something that hasn't gone away. "Violence against women is generally a reaction to women's position in society today and controlling the last parts that can be controlled," she said. "I think so many more stories have to be done because women are still paying for women's liberation." WATCH | The Fifth Estate 's 1999 documentary on the Montreal massacre, "Legacy of Pain": Montreal Massacre: Legacy of Pain 10 years ago Duration 42:31 On Dec. 6, 1989, 14 women were shot dead at a university in Montreal. The gunman Marc Lépine's hate crime left behind a profound and painful human tragedy. Lépine also left a list he'd prepared of other women whom he had also planned to kill. CBC reporter Francine Pelletier's name was on that list. The real mystery of the crime, however, was about what in Lépine's life had led him to pick up a gun and attack complete strangers. In this piece from 1999, The Fifth Estate explores Lépine's past and discovers many factors that may have led him to act as he did.
