ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — When Dan Quinn left the Dallas Cowboys after three years as their defensive coordinator to coach the Washington Commanders, it looked as if he was leaving a perennial playoff contender for a rebuilding project. Instead, Quinn's Commanders are in the thick of the playoff race even after consecutive losses provided something of a speed bump, while the Cowboys' season has fallen apart . Dallas (3-7) visits Washington (7-4) on Sunday in a franchise role reversal for the NFC East rivals. "For me and for the guys, man, it’s Washington-Dallas Week, let’s get down," Quinn said. “I don’t make one (game) too often bigger than another. I just think they’re all really important, and we absolutely go after it as hard as we can.” Quinn, defensive coordinator Joe Whitt Jr. and a handful of former Dallas players have been part of Washington's turnaround, including pass rusher Dante Fowler, defensive end Dorance Armstrong, center Tyler Biadasz and receiver Noah Brown, who famously caught rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels' Hail Mary toss for the game-winning touchdown last month to beat Chicago . Armstrong has followed the Cowboys' downfall since leaving in free agency, saying simply, “It’s not good.” And that was before a piece of their stadium's roof fell Monday night before their fifth consecutive loss , a 34-10 blowout by Houston . Injuries, including starting QB Dak Prescott's torn hamstring that led to season-ending surgery, have been the backdrop for Dallas' forgettable year. Coach Mike McCarthy, who's approaching the end of his contract and possibly his tenure, said he and his staff are “going to stay the course” and play who's available. That means Cooper Rush again getting the nod in place of Prescott, though McCarthy said a package of plays could open up to get 2021 No. 3 pick Trey Lance into the game. “Cooper’s been there for a little minute, so he knows the system really good," said Fowler, who leads the Commanders with 8 1/2 sacks. "Trey Lance is really good with his legs, and he’s a dynamic quarterback, as well. You don’t want to go out there half-stepping against those guys because they do play good football, as well.” The Commanders have played far better football than the Cowboys so far this season, so much that the home team is a 10 1/2-point favorite on BetMGM Sportsbook. Washington has never been more than a nine-point favorite against Dallas in any game going back to at least 2003, according to BetMGM. The Cowboys could get a bit of a spark with the anticipated return of receiver Brandin Cooks, who has seen way too much sorrow around him since he last played in Week 4. “Get guys playing at a high level, playing fun, playing free, and having a great time out there,” Cooks said. “That’s what I’m not seeing right now. I think we can go out there and be more joyful in our process.” There's plenty of joy in Washington, with the playoffs still on the line, unlike Dallas. “It’s definitely cool to be in that type of position rather than being on the other side," Fowler said. “Just cool to see what Coach Quinn has just done since he came here with this team and getting a group of guys to come together and play as one.” A rib injury knocked Daniels out of a rout of Carolina on Oct. 20, and while he did not miss a game, the 23-year-old has not been as dangerous or effective since. The No. 2 pick out of LSU and reigning Heisman Trophy winner has completed 59.5% of his passes the past four games after 75.6% before getting injured, and he has had his average rushing yards cut nearly in half from 53.1 to 27.5. Quinn insists Daniels is not injured and pinned the regression on a lack of practice time in recent weeks. Daniels also said he's good to go after some extra rest following a 26-18 loss at Philadelphia on Thursday, Nov. 14. “The mini bye, I think it just helps everything, just to reset your mind and get ready for the second half of the season,” Daniels said. “I was able to reset and refocus, restart.” The offensive line has been a problem all season for the Cowboys. Now it’s a major injury concern. Perennial All-Pro right guard Zack Martin and promising young left guard Tyler Smith sustained ankle injuries on the same drive in the fourth quarter for the Cowboys against the Texans. Martin, who is also dealing with a shoulder issue, is doubtful. Smith is questionable while also working through a knee injury. T.J. Bass and Brock Hoffman were the replacements at guard against the Texans. The Cowboys could start four linemen 25 or younger, although veteran tackle Chuma Edoga could make his season debut. Edoga was the projected starter at left tackle before injuring a toe in training camp. He is listed as questionable. “With Zack, he’s a keystone for our offensive line," McCarthy said. "That will be a big one. But it’s more opportunity for these young players who haven’t played a lot and are getting a lot of work." McCarthy said the Cowboys “took a step backward, clearly” running the ball against Houston after making progress the previous couple of games. Rico Dowdle, now the clear lead back after ineffectiveness and off-field drama from Ezekiel Elliott, had just 28 yards on 10 carries, and the Cowboys finished with 64 yards. They allowed 141 yards, including 109 and three touchdowns by Joe Mixon, and have the NFL's second-worst rushing defense. Washington's Brian Robinson Jr. has already set a career high with seven TD runs and could be in for a lot of carries. “I look forward to running the ball any time,” Robinson said. “I’m prepared, I’m ready and if it happens like that, I’m ready for it."

AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nflNEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stock indexes drifted amid mixed trading Monday, ahead of this week’s upcoming meeting by the Federal Reserve that could set Wall Street’s direction into next year. The S&P 500 rose 0.4%, coming off its first losing week in the last four . The Nasdaq composite climbed 1.2% to a record, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average was a laggard and fell 110 points, or 0.3%. Broadcom leaped 11.2% to help lead the S&P 500 for a second straight day after delivering a profit report last week that beat analysts’ expectations. The technology company is riding a wave of enthusiasm about its artificial-intelligence offerings in particular. The market’s main event, though, will arrive on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve will announce its last move on interest rates for the year. The widespread expectation is that it will cut its main rate for a third straight time, as it tries to boost the slowing job market after getting inflation nearly all the way down to its target of 2%. The question is how much more it will cut rates next year, and Fed officials will release projections for where they see the federal funds rate ending 2025, along with other economic indicators, once their meeting concludes. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will also answer questions in a press conference following the meeting. For now, the general expectation among traders is that the Fed may cut a couple more times in 2025, according to data from CME Group. But such expectations have been shrinking following reports suggesting inflation may be tougher to get all the way down to 2% from here. Besides last month’s slight acceleration in inflation, another worry is that President-elect Donald Trump’s preferences for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation down the line. Goldman Sachs economist David Mericle has dropped his earlier forecast of a cut by the Fed in January, for example. Beyond the possibility of tariffs, he said Fed officials may also want to slow their cuts because of uncertainty about exactly how low rates need to go so that they no longer press the brakes on the economy. Expectations for a series of cuts to rates by the Fed have been one of the main reasons the S&P 500 has set an all-time high 57 times so far this year and is heading for one of its best years of the millennium . The economy has held up better than many feared, continuing to grow even after the Fed hiked the federal funds rate to a two-decade high in hopes of grinding down on inflation, which topped 9% two summers ago. On Wall Street, MicroStrategy jumped as much as 7% during the day as it continues to benefit from the surging price for bitcoin , which set another all-time high. But its stock ended the day down by les than 0.1% after bitcoin’s price pulled back below $106,000 after setting a record above $107,700, according to CoinDesk. The software company has been building its hoard of the cryptocurrency, and its stock price has more than sextupled this year. It will also soon join the Nasdaq 100 index. Bitcoin’s price has catapulted from roughly $44,000 at the start of the year, riding a recent wave of enthusiasm that Trump will create a system that’s more favorable to digital currencies . Honeywell rose 3.7% after saying it’s still considering a spin-off or sale of its aerospace business, as part of a review of its overall business. It said it plans to give an update with the release of its fourth-quarter results. They helped offset a drop for Nvidia, whose chips are powering much of the world’s move into AI. Its stock fell 1.7%. Because it’s grown so massive, with a total value topping $3 trillion, it was the single heaviest weight on the S&P 500. All told, the S&P 500 rose 22.99 points to 6,074.08. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 110.58 to 43,717.48, and the Nasdaq composite rose 247.17 to 20,173.89. In the bond market, Treasury yields held relatively steady. The yield on the 10-year Treasury edged down to 4.39% from 4.40% late Friday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, eased to 4.24% from 4.25%. In stock markets abroad, indexes fell modestly across much of Europe and Asia. They sank 0.9% in Hong Kong and 0.2% in Shanghai after China reported lackluster economic indicators for November despite attempts to strengthen the world’s second-largest economy. South Korea’s Kospi fell 0.2% as law enforcement authorities pushed to summon impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol for questioning over his short-lived martial law decree, and the Constitutional Court met to discuss whether to remove him from office or reinstate him.

Syrian government forces withdraw from central city of Homs as insurgent offensive accelerates

East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr., a potential first-round pick, declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday. Revel, who sustained a torn left ACL in practice in September, had one season of eligibility remaining. "After an incredible journey at East Carolina, I am officially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft," the senior posted on social media. "... Pirates nation, thank you for your unwavering energy and support every game. Representing ECU is an honor, and I look forward to continuing to do so on Sundays!" Revel recorded two interceptions in three games this season, returning one 50 yards for a touchdown on Sept. 14 against Appalachian State. Over three seasons with the Pirates, Revel had three interceptions, 15 passes defensed and 70 tackles in 24 games. He was a second-team All-American Athletic Conference selection last season. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Revel as the No. 2 cornerback and No. 23 overall prospect in the 2025 draft class. --Field Level MediaArticle content The enduring memory of Dylan Holloway’s time here was when the young winger went coast-to-coast after taking a short Leon Draisaitl pass, then blew past Quinn Hughes and inside Filip Hronek before tucking one past goalie Arturs Silovs to give the Oilers the 1-0 lead in the do-or-die Game 6 of round 2 against the Vancouver Canucks at Rogers Place in May. Brought the house down. Defenceman Philip Broberg’s playoff wasn’t as dazzling, but after sitting the first 15 playoff games for Vinny Desharnais, Broberg offered up a punctuation point in Game 4 against Dallas in round 3 and drifted a 55-footer past Jake Oettinger to give the Oilers a 3-0 game lead. It started a run of 10-straight appearances for Broberg, playing his off side with Darnell Nurse in the second pairing. Alas, the St. Louis Blues noticed, and both Holloway and Broberg will be in the Blues lineup Saturday, in the duo’s first trip back here after the Blues two-headed offer sheet in August wasn’t matched by the Oilers. Holloway, who has eight points, including four goals, on a five-game point streak, is wearing No. 81 on the left wing with Brayden Schenn and Jordan Kyrou— Colton Parayko has dibs on Holloways’ old 55 as an Oiler. Broberg, who played 26:51 in an overtime win in Calgary Tuesday, is No. 6 after he was 86 here, their busiest defenceman after Parayko, the St. Albert native who was just named to Canada’s 4 Nations Face-Off team. Heady stuff for both kids, after their time as Oilers. Broberg might have been Nurse’s partner again and Holloway was probably ticketed to be the third-line left wing, with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Jeff Skinner in the first and second spots this season. Now, both are getting much more opportunity in St. Louis. “Coming back here, it’s going to be emotional, a new experience for them like it is with every player who switches teams. I mean, if Gretzky can switch teams, anyone can switch teams in this league,” said Blues’ head coach Jim Montgomery. “What I like about both of these young men is they’re hockey players. They love working on their craft, getting better. During team meetings, you can see them nodding, they’re studying, they want to get better,” he said. “That’s what jumps out at me in my 10 days as new coach here.” His book on Broberg? “His physical gifts are very evident. His skating, but his stick, defensively and offensively ... he always seems to be in the way, in the right spot, so his hockey sense combined with physical gifts makes him a valuable 200-foot defenceman,” as he plays20:39 a game, with 12 points in 15 games after being out three weeks with a leg issue after a mishap with Leafs’ Mitch Marner. And Holloway? “He’s tenacious, wants to have an impact on the game. His ability to reload and get above pucks defensively allows us to swarm teams, and his ability to go the other way and drive plays wide ... he’s not afraid to go into hard scoring areas which is why he’s had success. His confidence has grown because he’s getting significantly more ice-time,” said Montgomery, pointing to Holloway’s eight goals and 16 points while averaging 15:31 per game. Broberg, who was drafted in 2019, said Friday he enjoyed his time in Edmonton — the players, support staff, fans. But not the whole ball of wax. “I got drafted here. I’m very thankful for my time here. It’s good to be back,” said Broberg, who nevertheless did ask for a trade last December, probably because he was chafing because he wasn’t getting much ice-time after being the first-round draft pick in 2019, often a seventh defenceman here where he played safe and was afraid to make mistakes, until the playoff cauldron. “Playing in he finals, lots at stake. Playing in Game 7 was a learning experience as well,” he said. When the offer sheet came from the Blues, it was eye-popping. “They’re so rare. Of course you’re surprised. It was a stressful week (between the offer sheet and the Oilers deciding to match or walk away). You just try to stay off your phone and the internet,” said Broberg, with the $4.6 million AAV for two years in St. Louis maybe three and half times what Oilers were offering in a new deal. It was too good to pass up. “Like I said, I enjoyed my time here but was ready for a new opportunity, a new chapter and here we are,” said Broberg, who has a steady spot on left side with righty Justin Faulk in St. Louis, whereas he was blocked by Mattias Ekholm, Nurse and Brett Kulak on left defence here. Holloway admits it was very tough to leave. “We went so far as a team, two shots away from winning the Stanley Cup. You get pretty tight with the team, the guys on the staff, such an incredible run we went on,” he said. “That said, I’ve had a great opportunity in St. Louis.” Would he have got that here this season? “I don’t know. I don’t have the crystal ball,” he said. What was the week like for him, not knowing if he was going to be with the Blues or the Oilers? “It was kind of dark from both sides that week. I was trying to make sense of it all and work out the logistics but at the end of the day, the decision was made. Happy with my situation in St. Louis,” said Holloway. “Any time you go to a new team you try and fit in as best you can, showcasing your skill set, finding a role. I was playing centre when Tommer (Robert Thomas) was hurt but mostly wing.” He doesn’t know if he’ll get booed or cheered Saturday. “I don’t know what the response will be. I have nothing but love for the fans here, it’s such a knowledgeable fan base. That was why it was so much fun here,” he said.

Domestic workers demand comprehensive legislation

United States-based veteran activist Freeman Chari, who is also a Biomedical Scientist and Software Engineer, torched off a storm when he launched into an analysis of what he felt were the shortcomings of opposition leader Nelson Chamisa and his CCC party at the time. Shortly after Chari launched his no-holds barred critique, UK based lawyer Brighton Mutebuka also gave a detailed response. We publish both their contributions separately. We have put together a collection of Chari’s tweets on the topic in order of the dates he posted (oldest first). Let me be clear. I represent nobody except myself. Anything I say is my opinion and my experience. I don’t support individuals. I support ideas. I bring my own and I evaluate them against others. At this point I have different ideas about Zimbabwe from all other political players. I will be exploring my ideas with like minded folks. Hope that helps. The biggest problem in the pro-democracy movement is that we have so many corrupt people in there. Anyone exposing those people is quickly shut down hanzi you give ZANU PF ammunition. If you call them out privately they don’t stop. It did not start now. In the early 2000s there was a scholarship program in MDC for persecuted activists, soon it became a family affair. We have seen many of such initiatives, finances etc just being mishandled. We end up being quiet because of the law of unintended consequences but it doesn’t stop. It then goes into councils and the same unscrupulous characters carry the same behaviour into office. We defend them but they don’t stop. Transparency and accountability shouldn’t be expected from ZANU PF only. There can never be an alternative with these folks.😭 A party must be structured for maximal efficiency. There must be a clear distinction between the party and those elected to be MP, senators or councillors. Once elected you can’t hold other positions in the party. That way the party continues to function in people’s absence. A political party should be structured to run like a company. Those who take top leadership positions must be paid so they work 24/7 for the interests of the party. People with split interests tend to have split loyalty to a party. I don’t think practising lawyers should be anywhere near the pro-democratic movement leadership. If your job aides the oppression of people and you can’t recuse yourself then you aren’t fit to lead. It’s the same as having a soldier in leadership, one moment with you, next shooting you. Many years ago I used to write a lot about what needs to be done. Unfortunately the first reaction by those who should do is usually “That cannot be done in Zim!” In 2016, I decided to just do so that folks can see it can be done. Unfortunately, once you do, they want you to continue doing. When there is a proof of concept, it is upon others to scale☹️ I had never worked directly with Prof Welshman Ncube until 72hrs before the 2023 elections. He was not well but he said “I am going to call all the candidates from all the 3 Matabeleland provinces tomorrow then you distribute the agents money” He did that and we got all results from all polling stations in Matabeleland. No one in Mashonaland/Masvingo or Manicaland did this. We tried so many of the CCC leadership in those areas but most of them said they were busy with other things. So, in as much as you want me to bluetooth your hatred for him, I won’t because when we needed him, he delivered. What happened after elections is another story! The problem is that there is no introspection. Nobody stops to ask, what did we do wrong, what could have been done better, what needs to be changed. In the end you have people doing the same things they did in 2013, 2018, 2023. Politics must be incremental, you build on top of what has already been built... unfortunately, on one hand you have folks that say ngazvife titange kuti zero, on the other you have those who say if not built by me it doesn’t work. In the end every year we are at foundation level, with the same sand, same stones, same builders and same plan.... yet the environment keeps changing I wasn’t gonna address this seeing it is moot, but it is important that I do and it is my last comment on this. When CCC was formed in my conversations with NC (Nelson Chamisa) a number of us said to him, we will defend you with our lives out there but in private we will tell you the things that need to be fixed so we don’t fall into the same predicament we did with MDC-Alliance. Top was the need for a clear constitution with clearly articulated roles, I believe a draft constitution was made. Secondly, it was about structure and I remember giving him a document that had alternative structure which I worked on with Dr Magaisa. Lastly it was about branding etc Unfortunately Strategic Ambiguity took precedence. The people who defended this vehemently in private are the same people after election who ditched him. They were opportunists especially the Harare crew. What pained me more was that we had worked so hard for 2 yrs to build this but we had no way or leg to defend ourselves. Anyone could see our potential flaws but they were overlooked. This carried into the elections and candidate selection. We all know “Bereka Mwana” was stupid, but these comrades who supported it before they were outwitted/ousted should have known better way before this. They were selfish and thought they could keep their proximity to power through stupidity. After elections when NC failed to reign in the few MPs we had I could see we were sitting ducks. Every bara was hitting the head. In my view, even through ego we had continued on Strategic Ambiguity, if the fundamentals of organization building had been done right behind the scenes we could have had a fighting chance. I fear without the willingness to retrospect and introspect we will go round and round in circles with multiple heartbreaks. I am not willing to go through that again! And by the way, I responded to Brighton Mutebuka the way I did because he is privy to some of these things. It is unfortunate it came out the way it did but I have no regrets whatsoever. Ciao😊 Let me say it one last time. Mandla was Thabani Mpofu and Pachedu’s idea which was mooted maybe a month or so before election. I was never involved. I told them what they wanted to achieve takes yrs of planning. Whatever they built was never used. What you call Mandla was work that a separate team called CredibleVote worked hard for 2 years. That team built the WhatsApps bot where you checked who to vote for after maisirwa madouble candidates. Guess what about 500 000 voters used it. Our data shows CCC wld have lost 13 seats in Harare if we had not intervened. CredibleVote is the one that built the parallel tabulation system with multiple Starlink supported centers, satellite rovers and meshtastic nodes. It’s the one that managed to tabulate results from 10400 or so Polling Stations. The results we published in August. CredibleVote is also the one that built the donation platform yataiti CitizenAgent which Mazizi used to donate for polling agents. We raised $109k which we had to distribute in 48hrs before elections because we had waited for CCC to use their structures to do it but it was all chaotic. The people we call CredibleVote were a small team of developers, GIS experts, climbers, roving agents, data entry people. Most of them were unpaid volunteers. They are here on X. So, when you look back... Our role was not to replace CCC. We knew politicians are good at talking but not execution so we were there to plug holes that we had seen in 2018. We just wanted to avoid kuzoti “Dai makadai”. We did what we could but it wasn’t enough to remove ZANU PF.
