(Bloomberg) -- President Joe Biden said he’ll order a state funeral in Washington for Jimmy Carter, calling the former Democratic president who died Sunday “an extraordinary leader, statesman and humanitarian.” Most Read from Bloomberg While the White House didn’t immediately announce specific plans, state funerals for presidents usually include lying in state at the US Capitol and a memorial service at the Washington National Cathedral. The US stock market has traditionally closed on the day of presidential funerals. No announcement has been made as of yet by exchange overseers. Biden, President-elect Donald Trump and former President Barack Obama were among those paying tribute to Middle East peace efforts and a long post-presidential run of humanitarian work by Carter, who died at age 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia. Obama drew an arc from Carter teaching Sunday school at the Maranatha Baptist Church in Plains “for most of his adult life” and the Camp David Accords to the former president’s appointing Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the federal bench, launching her path to the US Supreme Court. “He believed some things were more important than reelection – things like integrity, respect, and compassion,” Obama said in a statement. Biden’s statement, issued during his year-end vacation in the US Virgin Islands, included a tribute to Carter’s efforts to “eradicate disease, forge peace, advance civil rights and human rights, promote free and fair elections, house the homeless, and always advocate for the least among us.” On Sunday evening, Biden commended Carter for his courage and humility in remarks at Company House Hotel in St. Croix. “Some look at Jimmy Carter and see a man of a bygone era,” he said. “I see a man, not only of our time, but for all times.” Biden said he’s spoken with some of Carter’s friends and members of his family who are planning services. When asked if there’s anything Trump could learn from Carter, Biden responded: “decency,” adding that “everybody deserves a shot.” The Trump transition team didn’t immediately respond for comment. Trump said Carter was a “truly good man” who “worked hard to make America a better place, and for that I give him my highest respect.” “While I strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically, I also realized that he truly loved and respected our Country, and all it stands for,” Trump said on his Truth Social platform. Trump frequently brought up Carter during the 2024 election campaign, seeking to use him as reference point for Biden’s presidency. “Biden is the worst president in the history of our country, worse than Jimmy Carter by a long shot,” Trump said at a campaign stop in Manhattan in April. “Jimmy Carter is happy because he has had a brilliant presidency compared to Biden.” During Trump’s first term in office, Carter criticized Trump, at one point accusing him in a 2018 CBS interview of being “careless with the truth.” Both Carter and his wife attended Trump’s inauguration in 2017. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger — a Republican who clashed with Trump over the state’s 2020 presidential election result — called Carter “a true-servant leader.” (Updates with additional Biden comment starting in eighth paragraph.)

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Former U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly believes the coming days, following the death of former President Jimmy Carter, will be a celebration of one of the most extraordinary lives in U.S. history. “If not world history,” Donnelly told News 8’s Tim Spears. Carter, who spent his life after leaving office in service to humanitarian causes, visited St. Joseph County, Indiana, in 2018 for Habitat for Humanity’s Carter Work Project . Donnelly’s meeting with Carter during that build left a lasting impression. “What he said is, ‘You always feel the best and know you’re doing the best when you can be helping others,’ and that was what Jimmy Carter was about,” Donnelly said. “It’s a staggering, staggering legacy that he and [his late wife Rosalynn Carter] have left to us.” Much of Carter’s work was motivated by being a Christian. He regularly taught Sunday school lessons until his mobility declined in recent years. Donnelly sees Carter’s follow-through on his beliefs as one of the former president’s lasting lessons. “I think you can take away a deep faith that he had,” Donnelly said. “That drove the decisions that he made in so many ways. That God put him here and he was required to do his best.” Jimmy Carter was the nation’s 39th President. He died Sunday , nearly two years after entering hospice care. He was 100.GRACE — The Social Dance Club, under the direction of Makala Clark, has been a successful club program for years that has far outreached the Grace High School boundaries as students from Grace, Soda Springs, Bancroft and Bear Lake come together not only for fun dancing but for a cause. These teenagers spend countless hours of their limited time after many participate in high school sports to learn dances like the foxtrot, waltz, jive and contemporary pieces to give back to their communities. Every December the Social Dance Club dedicates a Christmas production to invite local communities to connect in the true spirit of giving. The theme of this year's event, “Praise Him — Dancing in Joy, Giving in Love,” is an opportunity for all to reflect on the true meaning of the holiday season. The dancing extravaganza will be held at the Gem Valley Performing Arts Auditorium in Grace on Monday, Dec. 2, at 7:30 p.m. This year an impressive 62 young couples will grace the stage to participate in the program where 100% of the proceeds from the evening will directly support local people in need. The money raised by the Social Dance Club's holiday event is used to help the needy in various ways, from financial assistance to food to life-changing gifts like washing machines. This vital help creates unforgettable moments of kindness and connection between those giving and those receiving. Clark said, “Don’t miss your chance to experience and participate in the magic of the season while supporting such a beautiful cause.

S Jaishankar To Visit Doha Today: External Affairs Minister Set To Embark on 3-Day Official Tour to Qatar, Will Hold Meet With PM Sheikh MohammedSouth Korea has become the first country in the world to replace more than 10 per cent of its industrial workforce with robots , according to a new report. The country now has 1,102 robots per 10,000 employees, according to the annual survey by World Robotics 2024, having become the world’s number one adopter of robot workers in factories in recent years. South Korea has more than double the robot density of every other country ranked in the report, apart from Singapore, which has 770 robots per 10,000 employees. “Robot density has increased by 5 per cent on average each year since 2018 [in South Korea] ,” stated the report, which was presented by the International Federation of Robotics (IFR). “With a world-renowned electronics industry and a strong automotive industry, the Korean economy relies on the two largest customers for industrial robots.” Globally, the average robot density has more than doubled over the last seven years, the researchers noted, increasing from 74 to 162 units per 10,000 employees. South Korea has also introduced robots across other industries, with machines filling roles everywhere from hospitals to restaurants. It follows massive investment from the Korean government into its robotics industry, which it sees as a way to address its shrinking working-age population brought about by low birth rates. Earlier this year, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in South Korea announced the Fourth Intelligent Robot Basic Plan to invest $2.4 billion into the public and private sector by the end of the decade. “This initiative outlines the development direction for the robot industry across key industries, ranging from manufacturing to services, agriculture, logistics, healthcare, defense, and social safety,” stated a report published in August by the International Trade Administration. “It includes the goal to establish an efficient system for securing technology to raise the local manufacturing rate of core robot parts from the current 44 per cent to 80 percent by 2030.”

French political turmoil a boost for London as government in Paris teeters on brink By EMILY HAWKINS Updated: 17:01 EST, 3 December 2024 e-mail 1 View comments London should take advantage of the political turmoil in France to boost the stock market, a leading City figure has said. Companies and investors could shy away from Paris as the French government teeters on the brink of collapse, according to Mark Austin, a partner at law firm Latham & Watkins. And tensions between China and the US are making listings in Asia seem more unappealing, he added. Austin, who is one of the experts behind recent City reforms, said crises abroad have inspired ‘a lot of enquiries’ about moving capital to London instead as it is now the ‘adult in the corner of the room’. His remarks came as City watchdog the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) appeared to pave the way for Chinese fast fashion retailer Shein’s controversial £50billion listing. Investment company Pershing Square Holdings, meanwhile, ditched its Amsterdam listing yesterday. Turmoil: Companies and investors could shy away from Paris as the French government teeters on the brink of collapse, according to Mark Austin, a partner at law firm Latham & Watkins That means it shares will solely trade in London where it is a member of the FTSE 100. Pershing cited improved liquidity in London as one of the reasons. But Nikolay Storonsky, boss of online bank Revolut, said it was ‘just not rational’ to opt for London over a US listing. There are hopes the tide is turning after the City has lost high-profile firms to overseas rivals in recent years. Austin, a member of the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce, a group of City figures led by London Stock Exchange chief Julia Hoggett, said he has seen interest in investment being moved out of Europe and towards the UK. Speaking on the BBC’s Today programme, he said: ‘We are seeing a lot of enquiries from people who think “actually, is continental Europe a place where I would want to list a business right now?”’ Elections in France, Germany and Austria have given rise to instability while the reign of Right-wing leaders Geert Wilders in Netherlands and Giorgia Meloni in Italy have also set investors on edge.

Share this article Share HOW THIS IS MONEY CAN HELP How to choose the best (and cheapest) stocks and shares Isa and the right DIY investing account And companies are growing wary of having ‘sole exposure’ to Asia, such as the Hong-Kong listed firm CK Infrastructure which made a secondary initial public offering (IPO) in London in August, Austin said. This happened two weeks after the City watchdog’s reforms were introduced in July. ‘There is a sense that the UK is starting to establish itself as an independent financial centre, well regulated, in a good time zone,’ Austin said. There is a growing confidence that reforms to listing rules will continue to revive the UK’s status. The FCA’s reforms came into force on July 29, creating a simplified regime that ended a distinction between standard and premium listings. Before this, only companies with premium listings could join the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 indices, so abolishing the distinction has cleared the way for more to do so. In a memo last week, Austin said the City was set for success next year. He said: ‘The capital cycle is coming, and although IPOs are not going to come in the very near future – they are coming, and in numbers, in 2025 and 2026 onwards.’ DIY INVESTING PLATFORMS AJ Bell AJ Bell Easy investing and ready-made portfolios Learn More Learn More Hargreaves Lansdown Hargreaves Lansdown Free fund dealing and investment ideas Learn More Learn More interactive investor interactive investor Flat-fee investing from £4.99 per month Learn More Learn More Saxo Saxo Get £200 back in trading fees Learn More Learn More Trading 212 Trading 212 Free dealing and no account fee Learn More Learn More Affiliate links: If you take out a product This is Money may earn a commission.

More top storiesPHOENIX — With the stroke of a pen at 10:12 a.m. on Monday, Arizona now has a right to abortion in the state constitution. But the formal canvass of the vote on Proposition 139 by Gov. Katie Hobbs does not make the controversy or even the legal fights go away. Nor does it mean that women right now have the right to terminate a pregnancy after 15 weeks. In fact, this may be just the first step in what could be a months-long court battle. Attorney General Kris Mayes said she believes that the new constitutional amendment automatically overrides that 15-week state law. She said that should be obvious given that the initiative spelled out all abortions are legal without restrictions until fetal viability, generally considered between 22 and 24 weeks. And it also allows abortions beyond that point if a treating health care professional determines it is "necessary to protect the life or physical or mental health of the pregnant individual.'' Still, Mayes acknowledged that some doctors may not be willing to perform the procedure just yet, what with the risks of criminal and civil violations under the old law, but would rather wait for a court to issue a ruling. That's the case with Planned Parenthood Arizona where an official said it will not begin providing post 15-week abortions just yet but are "quickly staffing up and updating internal care protocols to position themselves to be able to provide care after 15 weeks as quickly as possible once legal clarity is established.'' And even Dr. Paul Isaacson, a Phoenix obstetrician and gynecologist who has been a major booster of the initiative, said he has no intention of terminating such pregnancies — at least not until a court actually rules that the 15-week law is no longer enforceable. Such a lawsuit is expected, perhaps as early as next week, from either the American Civil Liberties Union of Arizona or the Center for Reproductive Rights, both of which have been at the center of the state's abortion battles. All that, however, is just the beginning. There are a host of other laws on the books, ranging from waiting periods and clinic licensing to whether it's legal for a woman to terminate a pregnancy because of a fetal genetic defect. And then there's the yet-to-be-answered question of whether that fundamental right of abortion extends to minors. There's also the fact that Proposition 139 does not clearly preclude any regulation at all. It allows the enactment and enforcement of abortion laws that are "justified by a compelling state interest that is achieved by the least restrictive means.'' Supreme Court Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer speaks Monday about the process of certifying Arizona election results during the formal canvass. She is joined (from left) by Attorney General Kris Mayes, Secretary of State Adrian Fontes and Gov. Katie Hobbs. The signing of voter-approved Proposition 139 could be the first step in months of court litigation over adding the right to an abortion to Arizona's state constitution. Mayes said hashing all that out could take time. "We're looking at a fair amount of litigation over the next two years,'' she told Capitol Media Services. For example, one is in the category of "informed consent." It creates a 24-hour waiting period between when a women seeks the procedure and when it can be performed. During that time, the doctor is supposed to provide information about the nature of the procedure, immediate and long-term medical risks, the probable gestational age of the fetus and alternatives to the procedure "that a reasonable person would consider material to the decision of whether or not to undergo the abortion.'' Women also need to be informed that medical assistance may be available for prenatal, childbirth and neonatal care. And they are to be told that the father is financially liable for support, even if he has offered to pay for the procedure. A separate statute requires performance of an ultrasound and record sounds of any heartbeat — and then offer the woman a chance to see or hear them. Mayes said she does not believe any of those fit within the "compelling state interest'' exception. "That's a very, very narrow exception,'' she said. "That could be for things like ensuring licensure of medical professionals so that women who are seeking an abortion can get an abortion from a licensed care provider.'' On that front, at least, Mayes is in agreement with Cathi Herrod, president of the anti-abortion Center for Arizona Policy. "We don't let just anyone perform different types of medically invasive surgery,'' Herrod said. But she sees the exception as broader than the attorney general. "Public health and safety should require that any medical facility be licensed, including abortion clinics,'' she said. Herrod pointed out that law was put in place following the 1998 death of Lou Ann Herron after a botched abortion. Ditto, Herrod said, of requirements for doctors at abortion clinics to have admitting privileges at a local hospital. That's just the beginning of what is going to have to be sorted out by the courts. Consider that current law says a minor cannot get an abortion without either parental consent or permission of a judge. Yet Proposition 139 extends that "fundamental right to abortion'' to all, regardless of age. Herrod said she believes the requirement for parental or court consent are defensible, even with the new constitutional measure, saying such measures "serve the public interest in providing for women's health and safety.'' Mayes, however, said she has no clear answer, saying that "probably will be litigated.'' There are other, more complex laws. One makes it illegal for a doctor to perform an abortion, knowing that the reason it is being sought is the race or sex of the fetus. That law was contested in court. But the lawsuit was thrown out when challengers could not show a judge that there actually was any person at the time who was denied an abortion because of the statute. So, it remains on the books. That, in turn, became the template for a 2021 law that outlaws performing an abortion if the doctor knows the patient wants the procedure because the fetus has a genetic abnormality. In fact, that law is still being litigated by doctors, including Isaacson, who contend the law overly vague. They say it it puts them at risk of facing not just criminal charges but civil fines and possible loss of their license to practice medicine if they simply counsel patients who come to them seeking care and possibly an abortion. What's also vague, the doctors say, is putting doctors in a position of figuring out whether a genetic defect is only one reason a woman might want an abortion — which would be legal under the law — or the sole reason, which the law makes a criminal offense. Herrod also contends that nothing in Proposition 139 overturns existing laws that forbid individuals from obtaining abortion pills by mail. That became an issue in the wake of the 2022 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and its constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy. With some states returning to outright bans or restrictions, the federal Food and Drug Administration enacted rules allowing the interstate transfer of abortion pills. Arizona responded with its own state ban, one that Mayes considers null and void with the enactment of Prop 139. But the attorney general pointed out that even if the Arizona law is struck down, there's another risk on the horizon. There have been calls by some for Congress to enforce the Comstock Act, an 1873 law that makes it a crime to mail not just indecent materials across state lines but also anything "intended for producing an abortion.'' That, said the attorney general, would make it impossible for doctors to perform medication abortions as the drug is not manufactured here. Mayes said she will fight any such move, saying it interferes with states' rights. The bottom line for any challenges to existing laws could come down to what a court decides fits within that "compelling state interest'' exception to the fundamental right of abortion. Prop 139 itself seeks to provide some guidance, with a two-part test. First, it has to be enacted "for the limited purpose of improving or maintaining the health of an individual seeking abortion care.'' And all that has to be "consistent with accepted clinical standards of practice and evidence-based medicine.'' Gail Deady, a senior staff attorney at the Center for Reproductive Rights, said that is a very narrow exemption. "These regulations must respect a patient's right to make their own decisions about their health and can only be enacted if they make the procedure safer for the person seeking an abortion, using the least restrictive approach possible,'' she said. "Importantly, this rule does not allow the state to impose restrictions aimed at advancing other interests, like political or ideological goals, that have nothing to do with protecting the health of the patient,'' Deady said.

Kriti Kharbanda shows off her romantic side on husband Pulkit Samrat`s birthdayWASHINGTON (AP) — A machinists strike. Another safety problem involving its troubled top-selling airliner. A plunging stock price. 2024 was already a dispiriting year for Boeing, the American aviation giant. But when one of the company's jets crash-landed in South Korea on Sunday, killing all but two of the 181 people on board, it brought to a close an especially unfortunate year for Boeing. The cause of the crash remains under investigation, and aviation experts were quick to distinguish Sunday's incident from the company’s earlier safety problems. Alan Price, a former chief pilot at Delta Air Lines who is now a consultant, said it would be inappropriate to link the incident Sunday to two fatal crashes involving Boeing’s troubled 737 Max jetliner in 2018 and 2019. In January this year, a door plug blew off a 737 Max while it was in flight, raising more questions about the plane. The Boeing 737-800 that crash-landed in Korea, Price noted, is “a very proven airplane. "It’s different from the Max ...It’s a very safe airplane.’’ For decades, Boeing has maintained a role as one of the giants of American manufacturing. But the the past year's repeated troubles have been damaging. The company's stock price is down more than 30% in 2024. The company's reputation for safety was especially tarnished by the 737 Max crashes, which occurred off the coast of Indonesia and in Ethiopia less than five months apart in 2018 and 2019 and left a combined 346 people dead. In the five years since then, Boeing has lost more than $23 billion. And it has fallen behind its European rival, Airbus, in selling and delivering new planes. Last fall, 33,000 Boeing machinists went on strike, crippling the production of the 737 Max, the company's bestseller, the 777 airliner and 767 cargo plane. The walkout lasted seven weeks, until members of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers agreed to an offer that included 38% pay raises over four years. In January, a door plug blew off a 737 Max during an Alaska Airlines flight. Federal regulators responded by imposing limits on Boeing aircraft production that they said would remain in place until they felt confident about manufacturing safety at the company. In July, Boeing agreed to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit fraud for deceiving the Federal Aviation Administration regulators who approved the 737 Max. Acting on Boeing’s incomplete disclosures, the FAA approved minimal, computer-based training instead of more intensive training in flight simulators. Simulator training would have increased the cost for airlines to operate the Max and might have pushed some to buy planes from Airbus instead. (Prosecutors said they lacked evidence to argue that Boeing’s deception had played a role in the crashes.) But the plea deal was rejected this month by a federal judge in Texas, Reed O’Connor , who decided that diversity, inclusion and equity or DEI policies in the government and at Boeing could result in race being a factor in choosing an official to oversee Boeing’s compliance with the agreement. Boeing has sought to change its culture. Under intense pressure over safety issues, David Calhoun departed as CEO in August. Since January, 70,000 Boeing employees have participated in meetings to discuss ways to improve safety.
SANTA CLARA — No Brock Purdy. No Nick Bosa. No chance for the 49ers on Sunday in Green Bay? “We’re missing two good players definitely but we’ll have a lot of good players out there,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan countered. “By no means do we not have a chance to win. We’ll fight our tails off. We’ll expect a real good game.” Purdy’s throwing-shoulder soreness will force him to miss his first game due to injury since becoming the 49ers’ starting quarterback nearly two years ago, and that thrusts ninth-year journeyman Brandon Allen into his 10th career start and first since 2021 with Cincinnati. Bosa’s oblique and hip injuries will sideline him for his first game of this wobbly season. Also ruled out were cornerback Charvarius Ward (personal), return specialist Jacob Cowing (concussion), defensive tackle Kevin Givens (groin) and linebacker Tatum Bethune (knee), while left tackle Trent Williams (ankle) is questionable as a game-time decision for a second straight game. Tight end George Kittle (hamstring) and running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) are good to go for an offense that must make do without Purdy at the NFL’s most historic venue. Allen, who last threw a regular-season pass in 2022 as Joe Burrow’s backup in Cincinnati, will guide the 49ers’ offense in a key game as San Francisco aims to make a playoff push. “It’s an opportunity,” Allen said. “The circumstances are what they are. Our team all year long, we’ve been dealing with injuries here or there. It’s been a big next-man-up mentality. It’s definitely an opportunity for me to go out, play well, put our guys in a good position to win the game. “Obviously we want Brock back and healthy and all that,” Allen added. “For the time being, it is an opportunity for me.” Josh Dobbs, who lost out to Allen in training camp and the preseason for the QB2 role, will serve in that capacity Sunday at Lambeau Field, where neither quarterback has played a regular-season game. Rookie Tanner Mordecai likely will be elevated from the practice squad Saturday to serve as the emergency No. 3 quarterback. Purdy wore a resigned, dour expression but offered upbeat words as he walked through the locker room, saying: “We’re all good.” This is not how Shanahan scripted it earlier in the week. “(Purdy) got the MRI on Monday, we thought he just needed some rest and really weren’t concerned about not being there this week,” Shanahan said Friday. “I don’t want to say there’s long-term concern,” Shanahan said Friday. “We got the MRI on Monday. We thought he just needed some rest and really weren’t concerned about him not being good this week.” Purdy rested his arm Wednesday, then left the practice field Thursday after a few light throws. “It surprised him, surprised us how it felt, so we had to shut him down,” Shanahan said. “The MRI doesn’t look like (it’s serious) so it should be alright. But the way it responded this week, it’s really up in the air for next week. We’ll have to see on Monday.” The 49ers follow this week’s trip at Green Bay with a prime-time appearance next Sunday, Dec. 1 in Buffalo. “I know this is like the first time Brock’s missed a game probably in his life,” Allen said. “He’s a tough guy and I’m not too worried about it. I don’t think any of our guys are. He’ll rehab and get back as fast as he can.” No one is saying when Purdy got hurt in Sunday’s 20-17 loss to Seattle, whether it was from diving for the goal line on his first-quarter touchdown scramble or later in the game. Shanahan did note that Purdy struggled to keep his shoulder loose and threw on the sideline, then the pain intensified after the game and into Monday. “It was somewhere during that Seattle game and I’m not sure Brock knows,” general manager John Lynch said on KNBR. “He fought through it through the course of the game. I did see him during the course of the game, anytime there was a pause, he kept throwing. At that point, you’re feeling something but he was so focused on trying to win.” Shanahan lauded Allen as a “really good thrower” who “runs our offense well” and that “guys believe in him.” The feeling is mutual on Allen’s side, as he explained what it was like as Purdy’s stand-in on the starting unit in practice this week: “It’s been a blessing to have them in the huddle with me and the leadership that’s in the huddle, so I can just come in and fill the spot for Brock for now, just try to make some plays and get the ball in their hands.” Added Shanahan: “It’s not a big game-plan adjustment. This is something we didn’t think would happen early in the week. We were fully preparing for Brock to go.” The Packers prepared that way, too. Allen is no total stranger, however. Packers coach Matt LaFleur told reporters Friday in Green Bay, prior to Purdy’s no-show practice: “I know Brandon. I was with him in L.A. (in 2017). He’s been in the league a long time. But I wouldn’t expect their offense to change a whole bunch.” BOSA WILL REMAIN HOME While Purdy traveled with the 49ers to Green Bay, Bosa was staying behind to rehabilitate the upper-body injuries that forced him to miss Sunday’s fourth-quarter collapse against Seattle. It will be the first game Bosa has missed since Oct. 16, 2022 with a groin injury. The 49ers lost a road game that day to Atlanta 28-14 during a season in which Bosa was the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year. Sam Okuayinonu figures to make his first career start in place of Bosa while Leonard Floyd makes his 11th start at the other defensive end slot. WILLIAMS QUESTIONABLE Williams, with the help of a pain-killing injection, made it through the Seattle loss at what he said afterwards was 65 percent. Although listed as questionable, Shanahan reiterated Williams’ status could go right up to kickoff. Jaylon Moore likely would start in place of Williams, if needed. WARD BACK NEXT WEEK? Ward, mourning the death of his 23-month-old daughter, was declared out but Shanahan hoped to have the All-Pro cornerback next week when the 49ers visit Buffalo. “He’s taken three full weeks off,” Shanahan said. “It’s not like dealing with all that stuff he’s getting workouts in and all that. We’re just happy to get him back in the building this week. We don’t want to put any pressure on him, hopefully he’ll be good to go next week.” Among those listed as questionable is guard/center Jon Feliciano, whose 21-day window of practicing while on injured reserve is about to expire. If the 49ers don’t put Feliciano on the 53-man roster by Monday, he’ll spend the rest of the season on injured reserve. PACKERS INJURIES Cornerback Jaire Alexander (knee) was ruled out after being unable to practice all week, and linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (hamstring) also will not suit up for Green Bay’s defense.
