They added that the practice weakens the domestic medical device industry and undermines the work of innovators. In their statement, the group of manufacturers said regulatory contradiction in the matter was also a cause for concern. Both India's medical device industry and patient safety advocates have raised objections to the recent decision of the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to permit the import of refurbished and reconditioned medical devices, including robotic surgical systems, MRI machines, CT scanners and other high-value equipment. Srinivasa Reddy, senior vice-president, SS…...

3+ min ago (600+ words) POTTSTOWN " The long-running legal dispute between the borough and a landlord and his tenants over whether borough officials can conduct a rental inspection of a property without the occupant's permission has resulted in a loss for the borough. The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania ruled that the borough's practice of getting "administrative warrants" to inspect a rental home where the occupants have refused the borough entry violates the Pennsylvania Constitution. The borough is evaluating whether to appeal the ruling to a higher court. The case goes all the way back to 2017, when landlord Steve Camburn and his tenants, Dottie and Omar Rivera, joined legal forces with the Institute for Justice, a Libertarian nonprofit law firm based in Virginia, after the Riveras refused permission for the borough to inspect their home in the 300 block of Jefferson Avenue. The Institute for Justice is…...

3+ min ago (699+ words) Dear Eric: I am a married man in my early 40s with no kids. My wife does a good job keeping in touch with friends of hers from her childhood and throughout the years in her life despite not living near them and being in different phases of life. It's admittedly a lot harder for me. I have a few close buddies that I continue to keep in touch with, none of whom live nearby. Prior to the pandemic and to two out-of-state moves, my social circle was much larger: nearby friends who I met as a young adult after college as well as a couple of other good buddies in other geographic regions who I have known since college or prior. As with many things during the pandemic, these friendships just seemed to fall off. My wife and parents have…...

3+ min ago (404+ words) Tyler Glasnow trade buzz grows after an MLB insider reveals the Dodgers are open to discussions amid rising offseason rumors. The Los Angeles Dodgers don't usually blink. They reload. They adapt. And when the rotation gets crowded, even big names start to feel the squeeze. Tyler Glasnow, who recently got married to Meghan Murphy, sits right in that gray area " elite stuff, championship impact, but health always hovering in the background. Also, the Dodgers just banked another World Series and remain stacked with starting pitching. However, depth creates options, and options create conversations. Especially when younger arms are knocking, and contracts get heavy." Per ESPN's Alden Gonzalez's December 11 report, Tyler Glasnow has come up in conversations between the Dodgers and rival teams. Nothing is imminent, as of now. A deal is still viewed as a long shot, but the tone…...

3+ min ago (367+ words) Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic made a dramatic reveal at The Game Awards, but information about the studio suggests the RPG is likely still years away from its release window. If the development cycle matches that of many other high-profile AAA RPGs, it seems very realistic that Fate of the Old Republic will end up arriving in 2029 or later and possibly releasing on the next generation of consoles. That interpretation of the timeline also aligns with Hudson's brief comments about the game's current state, "We're still early in development, with many challenges ahead." Hudson has seen the 2030 release window speculation floating around and has already responded with a post addressing the rumors: " Casey Hudson (@CaseyDHudson) December 13, 2025 It seems like the studio is currently excited to confirm that Fate of the Old Republic is the game they will be…...

3+ min ago (248+ words) New Delhi, Dec 13 (PTI) Delhi University students reached test centres across the capital on Saturday for their discipline-specific examinations, only to be left waiting for hours as delays in the delivery of question papers disrupted the start of the exams at several centres. DU professors said at least 35 question papers were "missing" or "delayed". Abha Dev Habib, associate professor of physics at Miranda House, said students waited for more than two hours, and many were even prepared to leave without appearing for their exams. "Mathematics and physics students were the worst affected since their question papers got delayed at multiple centres," she said, adding that infrastructure has not been scaled up in proportion with the rise in the number of students at DU colleges. A South campus college principal, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said exams for 30-70 discipline-specific courses…...
