swerte99 casino fb NEW YORK — The Giants may have to host the Saints on Sunday without their top offensive weapon, too. Rookie receiver Malik Nabers has a hip flexor, underwent an MRI on Friday morning and is in jeopardy of possibly missing the Week 14 home game, head coach Brian Daboll said. Nabers is officially listed as questionable and did not practice Friday at all. “They’re not ruling him out right now,” Daboll said. Nabers, 21, got hurt during the 1-on-1 portion of Thursday’s practice. He was listed as limited with a groin injury but then underwent further testing that revealed the new hip injury, according to the coach. Dexter Lawrence, the Giants’ top defensive player, is already out for the season with an elbow injury. Top left Andrew Thomas (foot) is done for the season. Top linebacker Bobby Okereke (back) is week-to-week. Daniel Jones is on the Vikings. And now Nabers may be joining the long list of Giants players unable to stay on the field during the stretch of this horrific season. “We wish we had Dexter and Andrew Thomas and those guys, but we don’t,” Daboll said. “That’s the reality of the NFL. So they’re looking forward to the opportunity, which will be a big challenge.” The Giants (2-10) have lost seven straight games and are 0-6 at MetLife Stadium. The Saints (4-8) already fired their coach Dennis Allen, and New Orleans is 0-3 in outdoor games, 1-4 on the road and 0-4 in their last four away games. But they’re still 4.5-point favorites. Interim Saints head coach Darren Rizzi, a native of Hillsdale, N.J., said this week that his team was flying to the area on Friday to do a walkthrough in the elements to prepare the players for the cold weather. New Orleans lost dual threat quarterback/tight end Taysom Hill (knee) for the season last Sunday, but otherwise, they’re down backup guard Nick Saldiveri (knee) and wideout Bub Means (ankle). And defensive lineman Tanoh Kpassagnon (Achilles) and running back Kendre Miller (hamstring) are questionable. The Giants’ injury report is comparably bleak. Top corner Deonte Banks (rib), Lawrence and defensive tackle Rakeem Nuñez-Roches (neck/shoulder) and Okereke (back) are all out. Defensive tackle D.J. Davidson (shoulder) and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor (quad) are doubtful. And six players are questionable: Nabers, offensive tackles Evan Neal (hip) and Chris Hubbard (knee), defensive tackle Jordon Riley (knee), corner Dru Phillips (shoulder) and linebacker Dyontae Johnson (ankle). Hubbard and Phillips did not practice Friday, either. ©2024 New York Daily News. Visit nydailynews.com . Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Marler to retire from rugby on Friday, a month after quitting international duty with England

MILAN, Italy (AP) — Atalanta went to the top of Serie A when Ademola Lookman scored with three minutes remaining to beat AC Milan 2-1 on Friday. Atalanta’s ninth win in a row was a fitting gift to coach Gian Piero Gasperini, who was awarded the coach of the month award earlier in the day for guiding his team to a perfect record in November. Charles De Ketelaere put the home side ahead with a towering header after 11 minutes only for Milan to level 11 minutes later. Theo Hernández released Rafael Leão on the right wing and his inviting cross was converted by Álvaro Morata. Milan, which lost Christian Pulišić to a knock before halftime, looked set to end Atalanta’s impressive run but Lookman nipped in at the back post to nod home a corner in the dying moments. Atalanta has 34 points, two more than Napoli, which has a game in hand against Lazio on Sunday. Milan was in seventh place. Serie A champion Inter defeated Parma 3-1 and extended the Milan club’s unbeaten run to 13 games. Federico Dimarco put the home side ahead five minutes before halftime when he worked a neat one-two with Henrikh Mkhitaryan and fired a low shot past Zion Suzuki. Nicolò Barella made it two eight minutes into the second half when he finished a fast counterattack with aplomb. Marcos Thuram's 10th goal of the season made it 3-0 in the 66th. A Matteo Darmian own goal gave some late consolation for Parma.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has awarded the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) two highly competitive Microelectronics Science Research Center projects. PPPL researchers will lead two collaborative projects involving national labs, as well as academic and industry partners. Princeton University researchers will act as deputy directors to the PPPL project directors. Each award will provide $3 million per year and is expected to run for four years. The awards recognize PPPL’s expertise in the plasma processes that will continue to be critical to further developments in semiconductor manufacturing and the advanced materials that are needed to keep the U.S. globally competitive. The DOE program leading to these awards originated from the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. In their call for proposals, the DOE prioritized research on energy-efficient microelectronics and microelectronics for extreme environments. Of the 16 projects given the green light, eight went to DOE national labs with projects concerned with extreme environments, and eight went to projects emphasizing energy efficiency. The eight projects within each theme will form a networked larger center on that theme. Atomic-scale science PPPL’s awards both went to projects focused on extreme environments because of their emphasis on plasma science. One of PPPL’s projects will investigate ways to make smaller, more capable microelectronics with 2D materials that are made using plasmas in high-temperature chambers. The other will look at the extreme properties of diamond material and how it can be used to make sensors and electronics that can handle harsh environments. “These projects will provide a better understanding of how to craft the materials needed for next-generation semiconductors at the atomic scale,” said Emily Carter , the Gerhard R. Andlinger Professor in Energy and the Environment at Princeton University and associate laboratory director of applied materials and sustainability sciences (AMSS) at PPPL. “The outcomes of this research have the potential to profoundly influence multiple industries worldwide, reflecting the integral role microelectronics play in our daily lives.” AMSS researchers are using their plasma expertise to develop new technologies in microelectronics, quantum sensing and sustainability. AMSS teams are already working with industry partners like Applied Materials, Lam Research and Samsung to develop new techniques for microchip fabrication and etching. The AMSS directorate also opened the Quantum Diamond Laboratory (QDL) at PPPL in March of 2024. 2D materials for next-generation semiconductors Semiconductors are the foundation of the memory, storage and processing power used in our commercial, industrial and military-grade devices. Unfortunately, scientists and engineers are reaching the limit on what can be done using the standard material — silicon — and existing processes, driving the need for further research. Yevgeny Raitses , a managing principal research physicist at PPPL, will lead the project aimed at perfecting methods for incorporating 2D materials into 3D complex nanostructures. These materials are needed for next-generation microelectronics as researchers continue to push the envelope by fitting more features into ever-shrinking devices. Although 2D materials are mostly actually 3D, they are often made up of only a few layers of atoms. They are so thin that scientists call them 2D. “Plasma is a critical component of nearly half of all semiconductor manufacturing processes,” said Raitses. ”We aim to create a science-based plasma-processing toolbox to enable the integration of 2D materials into next-generation semiconductor device manufacturing processes.” The research team will also include researchers from Princeton University, the University of Michigan, the University of Houston, the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA), and IBM Research’s Thomas J. Watson Research Center. Diamond sensors for extreme environments Alastair Stacey , a managing principal research physicist at PPPL and a professor of physics at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), will spearhead a second project to research ways to make highly resilient sensors out of diamond. “There are a set of really extreme environments that most electronics can’t survive and that diamond might be able to do well in,” said Stacey, who is the head of PPPL’s quantum materials and devices and the QDL. Sensors and electronics used in space, for example, sometimes need to withstand bombardment by potentially problematic particles, such as high-energy ions. Those used inside nuclear or fusion reactors and rocket thrusters need to tolerate high-energy particles and radiation, as well as immense heat, without breaking down. “Diamond is the hardest material found in nature, with extraordinarily high thermal conductivity, both of which suggest it could be promising for use in such environments,” said Carter. “There are a bunch of really technical questions about actually making diamond work as an electronic material,” Stacey said. One part of Stacey’s research will look at ways to make transistors — a key component of all electronics — using diamond instead of silicon. Another will explore the use of diamond for handling very high-power loads. “One of the things we have to figure out is how close can we get right to the fusion reactor, for example, before we just completely wipe out the material,” he said. “Diamond is robust. But how robust? How close can we get?” The team for this project will bring together researchers from the QDL, Princeton University, UCLA, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, The Ohio State University, RMIT and the company International FemtoScience Inc. Stacey said each team member brings a different set of expertise. “By working together, we should be able to produce something bigger than the sum of its parts within each of the projects but also within each of the two overarching, networked centers,” Stacey said. PPPL is mastering the art of using plasma — the fourth state of matter — to solve some of the world’s toughest science and technology challenges. Nestled on Princeton University’s Forrestal Campus in Plainsboro, New Jersey, our research ignites innovation in a range of applications including fusion energy, nanoscale fabrication, quantum materials and devices, and sustainability science. The University manages the Laboratory for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, which is the nation’s single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences.

Some of the biggest performers in music — including Jelly Roll, Megan Thee Stallion, Ed Sheeran , Kane Brown , Peso Pluma and Lil Baby — have graced the live stage during the weekly concert series in Los Angeles that airs after the NFL's “Thursday Night Football” game on Prime Video. Each show is a unique experience with artists debuting new music on bespoke sets created to bring their vision and style to life. This season's highlights have included J Balvin 's Latin vibe, Halsey 's Halloween circus intro and Gunna's big money talk. Big Sean was joined onstage by North Carolina A&T State University’s marching band, and Jhene Aiko , YG and E-40 made guest appearances. Now, it's Snoop Dogg 's turn to take the mic for “AML's” season finale this week, just ahead of his highly anticipated 20th album, “Missionary,” dropping next month. The performances are filmed live in front of more than a thousand audience members and streamed on Prime Video and Amazon's streaming platform, Twitch. Jelly Roll, a Grammy-nominated country singer, was the “AML” season opener in October just days after the release of his 10th studio album, “Beautifully Broken.” His special guests included Keith Urban , Skylar Grey and Machine Gun Kelly . “We could have planned our whole rollout around this,” Jelly Roll said. “I’m always excited to try to share what I do in front of new audiences or hope a new audience sees it or maybe the people at home who couldn’t see the tour or people who bought the album and see what it’s all about.” Last week, TWICE expanded their brand beyond their usual K-pop fandom after the Cleveland Browns upset the Pittsburgh Steelers. The nine-member group made Amazon Music history. The concert livestream earned the most unique viewers of any production — including Kendrick Lamar's “Pop Out” concert in June, and the Ye and Drake “Free Larry Hoover” show in 2021. “We’re normally used to performing just for our fans who are purposely coming to see us — especially in the U.S. where we are used to doing that,” said singer Nayeon, who was accompanied by group members Momo, Tzuyu, Mina, Minatozaki Sana, Dahyun, Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Chaeyoung. TWICE has performed inside major stadiums like MetLife and SoFi Stadium. But “AML” helped introduce them to first-time listeners, while also promoting their upcoming 14th mini-album “Strategy,” releasing Dec. 6. “For ‘Amazon Music Live,’ it’s not just about our fans, but it’s rather related to football,” Nayeon said. “It’s a lot of football fans to see us. To be invited here to perform is such an honor. We need to keep our game card for people to know who TWICE is.” Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how the concert series comes to life and those who play a key role. When Jelly Roll first entered the “AML” set, the singer thought it was just another rehearsal — until he found himself immersed in an unexpected interactive experience before stepping on the main stage. “I was overwhelmed. Got nervous,” said Jelly Roll, who was floored after he initially walked through the Tailgate Experience at the East End Studios in Glendale, California, where “AML” films season three. The experience offers a variety of attractions including flat-screen TVs above a massive circular bar, a spacious VIP section, photo booth, themed locker room, digital bonfire, featured vehicle, jersey patch station and a towering football toss game. All of this is set to the music of the week's concert series performer blasted through loudspeakers. “I wanted a space that was intentional and inclusive to everybody,” said Jameka Pankey, the head of events and experiential for artists at Amazon Music. She and her team wanted to make a concerted effort to pay homage to performers and the fans who enjoy their work. “We thought about all aspects of football and tailgating from fellowship, food and even how we were naming the drinks,” Pankey said. “When we were giving away gifts to fans. ... We had to do jerseys. I wanted this to be a fan experience that was out of mind.” Mission accomplished. At Amazon Music, collaboration has fueled success with departments joining forces to lock in the hottest talent of the week. But predicting a year out? That's a tough play when album releases are anyone's guess. They use their label connections and instincts to keep them ahead of the game and ready to pivot and lockdown the artist with the next big release. “We try to really be as genre agnostic and diverse as possible,” said Kirdis Postelle, global head of content and artist marketing at Amazon Music. She works with Andrew Sexton, who handles booking for “AML.” “Our team, along with myself, are active in conversations about this program,” said Sexton, who is considered a label relations guru. Some of the selling points to attract artists have been to capitalize off the NFL's huge viewership, promote their project and perform with top-notch production. “We're very active," he said. "We're always in communications with artist's teams and people are reaching out to us too. ... We're in constant conversations with the industry." Following a high-stakes “Thursday Night Football” matchup is plenty of pressure. But pulling off a live major concert after a big NFL showdown? That’s next-level intensity. “It’s the challenge which is fungible start time,” said Ed Walker, the head of video studios at Amazon Music. He played an integral role in the concert series moving from a shared studio lot in Hollywood to now filming at East End Studios — a complex with more than 96,000-square-feet of space, including two soundstages, a rooftop terrace, green rooms and three stories of office space. After the game wraps, there’s an hour preshow on Twitch and a top-of-show segment that takes audiences into the artist’s world. The hope is to create a “closer connection” before their performance, introducing more insight into the artist’s project. There are sweepstakes and competitions to maintain intrigue. “We immerse them into what they are about to see,” he said. “That is a moving target. You have a very large audience watching football, and then we have direct communications to the control room broadcasting that and they are giving us real time updates.” Walker admits it’s a tough balancing act, keeping the football audience engaged while also entertaining “AML” viewers before the show kicks off. “We got to meet in the middle, entertain them all, give them context and start the show,” he said. “While all that’s happening, we have to make sure the artist is on the stage and hits the cue on time.” While artists are rehearsing, Postelle wants to make sure they’re comfortable and don't leave. That led to the idea of an artist experience with food, games, drinks and privacy. “We do that to make artists feel good about spending so much time here,” Postelle said. “The last thing you want is for somebody to be like ‘I’m going back to the hotel to take a shower’ and they fall asleep. Then we’ll have a big problem.” Each week, select customers in the Los Angeles area are invited to purchase $15 tickets for that week's performance during an exclusive superfan presale or general onsale. Live events company DICE tracks upcoming events and uses audience targeting based on fan interests to notify potential attendees.
