Curi Bio Recognized as a 2024 Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Winner

We're down to the final two weeks of the 2024 NFL season and the postseason picture continues to get clearer. Half the NFL divisions and 10 of 14 playoff spots have been clinched heading into " Sunday Night Football " in Week 17 . There's still plenty to sort out, especially with specifics on seeding positions. Here's the latest on who's in the playoffs, seeding positions, and current matchups as Week 17 results come in: NFL playoff picture: Who is in so far? Ten teams have clinched a playoff spot after Sunday's Week 17 early slate. Here's who they are, grouped by conference: AFC NFL STATS CENTRAL: The latest NFL scores, schedules, odds, stats and more. NFC NFL division winners 2024 Four of the eight divisions in the NFL have been clinched. Here's the status for each one as Sunday's action continues: AFC NFC (*): The Chiefs have clinched home-field advantage throughout the AFC playoffs. NFL playoff bracket update: Wild card matchups AFC No. 1 Kansas City Chiefs (15-1, AFC West winners): BYE With their win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Chiefs have clinched the top seed in the AFC playoffs and a bye in the wild card round. They'll have the top seed in the AFC bracket for the third time in the Patrick Mahomes era. No. 2 Buffalo Bills (13-3, AFC East winners) vs. No. 7 Denver Broncos (9-7, wild card No. 3) Buffalo's Week 17 win over the New York Jets clinched the No. 2 seed in the conference. They'll finish at least one game ahead of the AFC North winner and have home-field advantage until they potentially face the Chiefs in the conference championship. As of Week 17, the No. 7 seed in the bracket is not set. The Broncos hold the final playoff spot, but the Bengals and Dolphins are still in the hunt. Cincinnati's Week 17 win over Denver is a crucial tiebreaker if they finish with the same record. No. 3 Baltimore Ravens (11-5, AFC North leaders) vs. No. 6 seed Los Angeles Chargers (10-6, wild card No. 2) The AFC North winner is locked into the No. 3 seed. Thanks to its Christmas win over Houston and the Steelers' loss to the Chiefs, Baltimore holds that spot. If Baltimore wins in Week 18 over the Browns or the Steelers lose to the Bengals, it will win the division for the second year in a row. Los Angeles' win over New England on Saturday clinched a playoff spot, but the team is not locked into the No. 6 seed. If the Steelers lose next week to the Bengals and the Chargers beat the Raiders, Los Angeles would take the No. 5 seed. But as things stand, there will be another Harbaugh Bowl this season. These two teams faced off in November, with Baltimore winning 30-23 . No. 4 Houston Texans (9-7, AFC South winner) vs. No. 5 Pittsburgh Steelers (10-6, wild card No. 1) Houston clinched the AFC South in Week 15 and is locked into the No. 4 seed. The Steelers' loss to the Chiefs drops them to the No. 5 seed and hold the tiebreaker over the Chargers thanks to their win over Los Angeles in Week 3. If the Steelers finish with the same record as the Chargers or better, they'll be the No. 5 seed. If they lose and the Chargers win in Week 18, they'll be the No. 6 seed at worst. NFC No. 1 seed Detroit Lions (13-2, NFC North leaders): BYE The NFC North is the best division in football by record, which means the No. 1 seed is up in the air. Sunday's game between Minnesota and Green Bay could decide the division winner before Detroit takes to the field for "Monday Night Football." If the Packers beat the Vikings, Detroit will clinch the division. The Lions play the Vikings in Week 18, but their division record will be good enough that they will win the NFC North regardless of the outcome of that Week 18 game. If the Vikings and Lions win in Week 17, it'll be a winner-takes-all showdown in Week 18. No. 2 Philadelphia Eagles (13-3, NFC East winners) vs. No. 7 Washington Commanders (10-5, wild card No. 3) Philadelphia's loss to Washington in Week 16 means they need help to get the No. 1 seed. Their win over the Cowboys in Week 17 won them the division title, though, and the No. 2 seed at worst. To get the No. 1 seed, they need to beat the Giants in Week 18, the Lions to lose out, and the Vikings to lose at least one of their final two games. The No. 7 seed is still up in the air in the NFC. With a win on "Sunday Night Football" over Atlanta, the Commanders would clinch the final spot in the NFC playoffs with a week to spare. If things finish like this, the Eagles and Commanders will face off for the third time this season. No. 3 Los Angeles Rams (10-6, NFC West leaders) vs. No. 6 Green Bay Packers (11-4, wild card No. 2) The Rams are in the driver's seat for the NFC West title. They'll win the division if they beat the Seahawks in Week 18. If they lose, Seattle and Los Angeles will finish with the same overall, division, and conference records. Seattle will need help elsewhere to get a strength-of-schedule tiebreaker to get the division title. Green Bay clinched a playoff spot in Week 16 with their "Monday Night Football" win. However, a loss in Week 17 to Minnesota would open the door for the Commanders to overtake the Packers for the No. 6 seed if they win in Week 17. No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-7, NFC South leaders) vs. No. 5 Minnesota Vikings (13-2, wild card No. 1) Tampa Bay's dominant win over Carolina has them in the NFC South lead over the Atlanta Falcons. However, the Buccaneers must finish a game ahead of the Falcons to win the division title, as Atlanta has two head-to-head wins over Tampa Bay. The Buccaneers need to win against New Orleans next week. They hope the Falcons lose to the Commanders in Week 17 or the Panthers in Week 18. The Vikings could finish the season as a 14-win wild card team; such is the state of the NFC North. They will either be the division winner, the No. 1 or No. 2 seed or the No. 5 seed.

“There is a tremendous amount of momentum, says Jess Sinclair, Prairie Director for the Canadian Council of Innovators (CCI). “And my message to government right now is: let’s not squander that momentum, and let’s put some of the policies in place that are going to create some sustainability for the tech economy and for future innovators here.” Speaking with Digital Journal at the Launch Party during Innovation Week YYC, Sinclair, shared her thoughts on Alberta’s innovation ecosystem and the broader challenges facing Canada’s economy. From the rise of tech in Alberta to the national need for stronger industrial innovation policies, Sinclair provided a clear-eyed look at where the province stands and needs to go. Sinclair highlighted Alberta’s recent success, noting Calgary’s record-breaking capital attraction numbers, surpassing Vancouver for the first time. She also pointed out Alberta’s leadership in labour productivity and job creation, bringing people to the province in droves. While Alberta’s progress is encouraging, Sinclair underscored the need for more robust policies to support the transition from startups to scale-ups. She noted that Canada lags behind others in labour productivity and innovation. “It’s a big question, but I think Canada has systemically refused to ideate the innovation industrial policies that other jurisdictions have kind of done by reflex,” she explained. “We intervene in many other sectors of the economy, but when it comes to innovation, the economy of ideas, we think we want to let the market decide. But that’s not what our [OECD] peers are doing.” Sinclair highlighted areas where Canada is falling short, including privacy legislation, intellectual property commercialization, and government procurement policies that often favour incumbent contractors over innovative solutions. Sinclair emphasized that Canada needs to shift its mindset from a resource-based economy to one that prioritizes intellectual property and innovation as key drivers of growth. “Many of our OECD peers that are superseding us in terms of labour productivity are exploring supply-side solutions like government procurement in support of domestic innovation,” she said. “They have clear strategies around intellectual property commercialization and are supporting patents at the early stage with real money.” She also pointed out inefficiencies in programs like SR&ED, where too much funding is consumed by red tape and consultants instead of being directed toward entrepreneurs. “We know that we that we lose one quarter of our top STEM grads in Canada and it’s because frankly, the opportunity in certain contexts is not here,” Sinclair said. When asked for a report card on the prairies, Sinclair pointed to the region’s strong entrepreneurial spirit and the desire among governments to support technology. However, she emphasized that success depends on exploring granular policies that will enable companies to scale. “It’s just about exploring the more granular pieces that are really going to take our larger ecosystem to the next level,” Sinclair said.

It takes women seven years to be diagnosed with endometriosis. That could soon changeParliament approved the new administration in a 240-143 vote in Romania’s 466-seat legislature. Romanian politicians have voted in favour of a new pro-European coalition government led by incumbent Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. The move could usher in an end to a protracted political crisis in the European Union country following the annulment of a presidential election by a top court. Parliament approved the new administration in a 240-143 vote in Romania’s 466-seat legislature. The new coalition is made up of the leftist Social Democratic Party (PSD) the centre-right National Liberal Party (PNL), the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party and national minorities. It caps a month-long period of turmoil in which far-right nationalists made significant gains in a parliamentary election on December 1 a week after a first-round presidential race saw the far-right outsider Calin Georgescu emerge as the front-runner. “It will not be an easy mandate for the future government,” Mr Ciolacu, whose PSD party topped the polls in the parliamentary election, said in a statement. “We are aware that we are in the midst of a deep political crisis,” he said. “It is also a crisis of trust, and this coalition aims to regain the trust of citizens, the trust of the people.” Romania’s 16 ministerial positions will be shared among the parties, which will hold a slim majority in the legislature. It is widely seen as a tactical partnership to shut out far-right nationalists whose voices found fertile ground amid high living costs and a sluggish economy. Mr Ciolacu, who came third in the first-round presidential ballot despite polls indicating he would win the most votes, has served as prime minister since June 2023. After parliament’s approval, President Klaus Iohannis swore in the new government and warned the new Cabinet that it is entering a “difficult new period” in which “for many Romanians, there are major concerns”. Romania was plunged into turmoil after Mr Georgescu’s surprise success in the presidential race, after allegations of electoral violations and Russian interference emerged. Days before the December 8 run-off, the Constitutional Court made the unprecedented move to annul the presidential race. “We go through complicated times, but I think we all learned from mistakes of the past,” Mr Ciolacu said. “I hope that together with my colleagues in the coalition, we’ll find the best solutions to get past the challenges we have in front of us.” Mr Ciolacu said that the new government would aim to quickly organise the rerun of the presidential election in which the new coalition has agreed to put forward an agreed common pro-European candidate. Cristian Andrei, a political consultant based in Bucharest, said that the new government made up of the same political parties will likely embrace “soft populist” rhetoric such as economic patriotism, anti-austerity, and a peace solution in neighbouring Ukraine to counter the rise of far-right populism. “This will be a way to answer the concerns of many Romanians who voted for populists... but will not solve the fundamental problem of trust,” he said. “The only decisive factor now will be who and how convincing the pro-European candidates will be against this popular revolt.” George Simion, the leader of the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians, which came second in the parliamentary election, said that all politicians from his party on Monday would vote against the Ciolacu government. In 2021, the PSD and the PNL also formed an unlikely but increasingly strained coalition together with UDMR, which exited the Cabinet last year after a power-sharing dispute.It takes women seven years to be diagnosed with endometriosis.

Indianapolis Colts coach Shane Steichen seemed to sense the question might arise after his club was eliminated from playoff consideration Sunday with a ghastly 45-33 loss to the host New York Giants in East Rutheford, N.J. The Giants were 2-13 and had lost a franchise-record 10 straight games entering the contest and their season-high point total Sunday more than tripled their season average of 14.3 points per game. It was the type of bad loss that leads to head coaches being asked about their job security. "I control what I can control," Steichen said of the employment situation. The Colts (7-9) were outplayed all contest by the team that entered the day with the worst record in the NFL -- and with their playoff hopes on the line. Last season, Steichen's first as Indianapolis coach, the Colts also fell short, losing to the Houston Texans in the final week of the season to miss the playoffs. "It was as disappointing as it gets," Steichen said of the setback against the Giants. "As the leader of a football team, shoot, I always say I've got to be better, we've all got to be better. That's a group effort, everyone's got to chip in and do their part, so stuff like that doesn't happen." Giants quarterback Drew Lock passed for 309 yards and tied his career high of four touchdowns while also running for a score. Meanwhile, the Colts also went with a reserve quarterback in veteran Joe Flacco and he turned the ball over three times on two interceptions and a fumble. He also passed for 330 yards. Flacco started because rookie Anthony Richardson couldn't play due to back and foot injuries. Indianapolis completes the season next weekend at home against the Jacksonville Jaguars. "I know it's a tough situation, obviously, when you're out of the playoff hunt, but again, I told (the team) we've got to be professional about it," Steichen said. "That's the biggest thing. We've got to show up and do our job still with one week left." The Colts last made the playoffs in the 2020 season. Their last playoff win was two seasons earlier. --Field Level MediaSouth Korean authorities seek warrant to detain impeached president
