panaloko near manila metro manila Brock Purdy and Nick Bosa are not available for the San Francisco 49ers when they enter Green Bay with designs on finding their finishing kick on Sunday afternoon. Purdy is out with a right shoulder injury and won't leave the sideline at Lambeau Field, head coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday, when he also declared Bosa out and confirmed journeyman Brandon Allen would make his 10th career start at quarterback. "Outside of here people haven't seen a lot of Brandon. But it's his second year (with the 49ers)," Shanahan said. "Obviously guys want Brock up, but guys are excited to see Brandon play." Shanahan said the 49ers are "a little surprised" Purdy experienced tightness and discomfort in his shoulder after an MRI exam on Monday that showed no long-term cause for concern. "The way it responded this week, it's really up in the air for next week," Shanahan said of Purdy's long-term prognosis. Allen's last NFL start on the road was with the Bengals at the Ravens in 2020. Allen completed 6 of 21 passes for 48 yards with two interceptions. He finished with a passer rating of 0.0 in a 38--3 loss. "It's definitely an opportunity for me to go out and play well and put our guys in a good position to win the game," Allen said Friday. "And obviously we want Brock back and healthy and all that, but for time being, it is an opportunity for me." Purdy took the practice field Thursday with the intent to participate. His shoulder tightened significantly, and the 49ers ushered him off the field to meet with trainers. Purdy beat the Packers in the NFC divisional playoffs at San Francisco in January, but Allen is familiar to Packers head coach Matt LaFleur. LaFleur was an assistant coach with the Rams during Allen's two-year run in Los Angeles. Allen broke into the NFL in 2016 with the Jaguars and is 2-7 in nine career starts. He went 1-2 with the Broncos in 2019 and 1-5 in six starts over two years with the Bengals in 2020 and ‘21. A victory against the visiting 49ers on Sunday would bolster the Packers' playoff chances, send a conference rival below .500 and avenge a bitter playoff defeat. Those seemingly rank in no particular order for the Packers (8-3), although they don't shy from living at least partially in the past ahead of a Week 12 showdown. San Francisco eliminated Green Bay 24-21 in the NFC divisional playoffs last season, scoring 10 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. "That's what you've got to sit with all offseason, is going back, watching the game, trying to see what you could have done better," Packers quarterback Jordan Love said. "What you could have done differently in that game. ... Just knowing that's the team that knocked us out, we're definitely hungry for this game." Ditto for San Francisco. The 49ers fell to 5-5 after last week's 20-17 home loss to Seattle, done in by Geno Smith's 13-yard touchdown run with 12 seconds to play. Still only a game behind NFC West-leading Arizona, the reigning conference champion 49ers are just 1-3 in division play and can ill afford to lose more ground. A visit to AFC East leader Buffalo awaits after the trip to Green Bay. While they're dealing with plenty of not-so-good news on the injury front, the 49ers do anticipate the return of other contributors. Cornerback Charvarius Ward, who missed the past two games following the death of his 1-year-old daughter, practiced Wednesday. Tight end George Kittle also is eager to play after a nagging hamstring injury sidelined him against the Seahawks. "Very excited," Kittle said. "Can't pass up playing the Packers, so no, I will be out there for sure." Allen was a three-year starter at Arkansas but has been a journeyman backup since entering the NFL in 2016 as the 201st overall pick of the Jaguars. Shanahan and LaFleur have been fierce competitors since twice working together, first as low-level assistants with the Texans in 2008, then on the so-called "dream team" staff in Washington that also included Sean McVay, Mike McDaniel and Raheem Morris; and two seasons with the Falcons (2015, 2016) where LaFleur was quarterbacks coach and Shanahan called the plays. Shanahan scored the most recent win over LaFleur in January. Green Bay has won seven of the past eight regular-season meetings between the franchises. But the familiarity and shared-brain approach to offense that has the coaches completed each other's play calls has led to some tight games. The past three at Lambeau Field were all decided by three points. Green Bay, which hosts a home game on Thanksgiving next Thursday, is starting a run of three games in 12 days. They'll play back-to-back Thursday games. Their Week 14 game is at Detroit. That might make it good news for LaFleur that surprising contributors have emerged of late. Packers wideout Christian Watson had a career-best 150 receiving yards on only four catches during last week's 20-19 road win against the Chicago Bears. His diving 60-yard reception in the fourth quarter put the Packers in position for Love's go-ahead, 1-yard scoring run with 2:59 to play. Watson entered the game with eight catches for 83 yards over his previous three contests, but LaFleur assured Watson remains a "big part" of the attack. "He's a guy who's got every measurable known to man in terms of the size, the speed, and it's not like those were easy plays he was making," LaFleur said. "He was making tough, contested catches." San Francisco will aim to generate more pressure against Love than the Bears, who sacked him just once. The 49ers collected four sacks against the Seahawks, with Bosa and Leonard Floyd contributing 1.5 apiece. Recent regular-season history between the Packers and 49ers at Lambeau Field has favored Green Bay. The Packers have won seven of their past eight home games against the 49ers and are 22-11 versus San Francisco at home all-time. Green Bay leads the series 34-28-1. --Field Level MediaMiddle East latest: Israeli strikes kill a hospital director in Lebanon and wound 9 medics in Gaza

Here's an interesting stocking stuffer to consider ... and it's a blast from the past, literally. A radioactive atomic energy lab kit complete with real uranium is hitting the auction block ... and it's considered the world's most dangerous toy. Officially known as the Gilbert U-238 Atomic Energy Laboratory, the toy is from the early 1950s -- back when atomic bombs were relatively new -- and it was marketed as an educational toy for budding scientists. The toy lab kit was created by Alfred Carlton Gilbert ... the same guy who came up with the iconic Erector Set. RR Auction says fewer than 5,000 of these puppies were ever made ... making this a super rare find. The toy was discontinued in 1951, with Gilbert's company blaming "government restrictions" and the "difficulty of obtaining materials." The toy has real uranium, after all. Here's what's included in the lab kit ... a cloud chamber for viewing alpha particles, a spinthariscope to observe radioactive disintegration and an electroscope to measure radiation levels in the four included substances ... carnotite, autunite, torbernite, and uraninite. The kit also has some extras ... including a U.S. government guide to uranium prospecting. Make no mistake, the uranium samples are radioactive ... but a 2020 analysis by IEEE Spectrum, the world's leading engineering magazine, says the radiation is equivalent to UV exposure from the sun ... at least as long as the samples remain in the sealed containers. Bidding ends Dec. 11 ... just in time for the holidays.

The town's high street is set to be redeveloped Nearly £2m will be given to redevelop a town's high street seven years after it was destroyed in an explosion. New Ferry town centre is currently undergoing redevelopment as part of Wirral Council's plans to revive the town. The explosion in a former furniture store off Boundary Road tore through the town’s high street injuring 81 people, making 78 people homeless and leaving 28 businesses closed behind police cordons. Seven businesses were destroyed and never reopened and since then, those who live in the town argue it has continued to see a decline. A multi-claim civil litigation was recently settled after claimants argued two major UK gas suppliers contributed to the explosion by failing to disconnect the gas supply. Two housing developments are also currently underway while a third is in the pipeline providing over 70 new homes. At an economy, housing, and regeneration committee meeting on December 4, councillors approved giving another £1.2m towards the project, bringing the total funding to £1,829,842. However this falls far short of the £5.2m needed to deliver plans developed by the local authority. It came from a funding pot of £3.1m leftover from two cancelled projects. Other projects awarded extra funding included the new U-boat museum, Future Yard, a new health and wellbeing hub called Joy, business centre Start Yard, Birkenhead Priory, and expanded plans for the ferry village in Woodside. The money will go towards works to improve the town’s high street on Bebington Road. The plan is to “make the shopping areas more attractive for traders, visitors and residents and will include traffic-calming measures, new planting and seating, additional CCTV to deter anti-social behaviour and a re-provided public car park.” A council report had originally included a recommendation that council officers re-allocated any future funds to help reach £5.2m if other projects fell through, but this was later removed. Director of Regeneration Marcus Shaw said a review of projects needed to take place before any funding commitment could be given. Bromborough councillor Jo Bird, who represents New Ferry, raised concerns about the funding gap, adding: “It’s a brilliant scheme, it’s well needed, it’s shovel ready and there’s new homes being built as we speak.” She said the high street needed some funding as the explosion had devastated the town and the current funding available would mean change was “pretty basic,” adding she was surprised plans were changed last minute and delays would make the project harder to deliver. Mr Shaw in response said: “This is about giving you confidence that we know what we’re doing as a directorate and at the moment, I don’t feel comfortable putting this to members to make a decision. I want to come back with the confidence that we have a better understanding of our financial position.” The council also approved two masterplans for the areas around Woodside as well as Wallasey Town Hall and have the greenlight to move ahead with six selective licensing schemes around Birkenhead town centre looking at improving housing standards.

NoneWith more than half of the 16 teams still mathematically alive to make the conference championship game, the Big 12 will command a lot of attention in the final week of the regular season. No. 14 Arizona State and No. 17 Iowa State would play for the Big 12 title and likely College Football Playoff spot on Dec. 7 if they both win Saturday and there's a four-way tie for first place. There are seven other teams that begin this week with hopes, slim in most cases, of getting into the game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Last week it was No. 19 BYU and No. 23 Colorado that had the inside track to the championship game. Arizona State beat the Cougars and Kansas knocked off the Buffaloes, and here we are. "Everybody counted us out, I think, two weeks ago," Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said after his team beat Utah 31-28. "We didn't flinch. We didn't waver. And we just keep fighting." People are also reading... The Cyclones were national darlings the first half of the season as they won seven straight games to match the best start in program history. Back-to-back losses to Texas Tech and Kansas followed. Now they've won two straight heading into "Farmageddon," their rivalry game against Kansas State at home. "Right now they've got the pen and they continue to write the story," Campbell said of his players, "and I hope they will continue to write it the way they've got the ability to write it. Unwavering. Tough, mentally tough, physically tough. This group has stood for it every step of the way." Arizona State has been an even better story than the Cyclones. The Sun Devils have six more wins than they did last season, when they went 3-9. They were picked to finish last in their first year in the Big 12. They'll go for their fifth straight victory when they play at Arizona on Saturday. "These guys came off no momentum and everybody doubting them, and everybody is still doubting them. That's what makes this special," second-year coach Kenny Dillingham said. "Hopefully the expectations become higher. I don't know if there's a way we can exceed expectations more than we're exceeding them right now." Checking in on five of the Top 25: No. 1 Oregon The Ducks were idle Saturday after clinching a spot in the Big Ten championship game with their win at Wisconsin on Nov. 16. Oregon can go 12-0 in the regular season for the first time since 2010 if it beats Washington at home this week. Oregon's only two losses last season came against the Huskies, both decided by three points. The first was a top-10 matchup in the regular season and the second was a top-five matchup in the Pac-12 championship game. The Ducks are 19 1/2-point favorites this time, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. No. 2 Ohio State The Buckeyes' showdown with upstart Indiana combined with Michigan's dropoff after winning the national championship have lowered the volume on this week's meeting with the Wolverines at the Horseshoe. If Michigan beats Ohio State a fourth straight time and it keeps the Buckeyes out of the Big Ten championship game and playoff ... well, there'll be lots of noise in Columbus then. No. 3 Texas The Lone Star Showdown returns to the gridiron for the first time since 2011, when Texas and Texas A&M were in the Big 12. The Longhorns head to No. 20 Texas A&M on a four-game win streak. The Aggies have lost two of three after Saturday's four-overtime loss at Auburn. The winner advances to the Southeastern Conference championship game against Georgia. No. 11 Boise State The Broncos are tied with Notre Dame for the second-longest active win streak, at nine games, and they seem to have adopted a survive-and-advance mantra. They trailed 23-point underdog Wyoming in the fourth quarter before winning 17-13 and clinching a spot in the Mountain West championship game. They won their previous game, 42-21 against San Jose State, but didn't pull away until the fourth quarter. Two weeks ago they beat a three-win Nevada team 28-21. No. 22 Illinois Just when you think Illinois is about to cash in for the season, they do what they did against Rutgers. The Illini were down 31-30 when they lined up for a 58-yard field goal with 14 seconds left. Ethan Moczulski missed. But wait. Rutgers called timeout before the snap, and Bret Bielema thought better of trying another kick and sent his offense back on the field. Luke Altmyer passed to Pat Bryant for the winning 40-yard touchdown. The Illini won't play for the Big Ten title, but they have a chance for nine wins and a nice bowl. Extra Points Ohio State played in three of the five regular-season top-five matchups and won three of them. The Buckeyes lost to Oregon and beat Penn State and Indiana. ... Kansas' 37-21 win over Colorado made the Jayhawks the first FBS team with a losing record to beat three straight Top 25 opponents. The Jayhawks, who were 2-6 a month ago, will be bowl eligible if they win at Baylor. ... Nebraska ended the longest power conference bowl drought with its 44-25 win over Wisconsin.

Intel stock fell again Wednesday prompting an industry analyst to accuse the chipmaker's board of badly mishandling the sudden exit of CEO Pat Gelsinger. The shares had rallied early Monday when news of signaling possible positive change at the struggling technology giant. But then the shares started falling, and were down for the third straight day on Wednesday. Industry analyst Patrick Moorhead, CEO of Moor Insights & Strategy, blasted the Intel board for the way they handled Gelsinger's departure. Intel Stock: CEO's Sudden Exit "I'm not an equities analyst, but I told you so," he said in . "This one was so easy to predict. Board ghosts the Intel Corporation CEO without an explanation or replacement and the stock plummets." Gelsinger was reportedly forced out by the board which had lost confidence in his ability to turn things around at the struggling chip company, . Intel named two interim CEOs, David Zinsner, Intel's chief financial officer, and Michelle Johnston Holthaus, CEO of Intel Products. The company could not immediately be reached for comment for this story. Intel stock slumped amid growing questions about what happens next, especially at a time when Intel is grappling with stiffer competition from rivals led by ( ) and ( ). Intel investors have been left in the dark, Moorhead argued. "Investor's only thoughts are what bad happened?" he wrote. "Who can fill Pat's shoes? I talk to all of Intel's largest customer's executives. No one is cheering. The company needs to find a solid replacement, and fast." Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes said "the fact that CEO Pat Gelsinger was leaving Intel wasn't a surprise, but maybe the timing was." "The announcement at first prompted some short covering likely on thoughts that this move could lead to a new plan that creates more shareholder value (cuts, asset sales, etc.), but we took the news as a modest negative," he said in a Monday note. Intel stock shed 2.3% to close at 21.96 on Wednesday. The shares have shed nearly 9% this week, plunging well below the stock's 50-day moving average. Intel's Relative Strength rating dipped further to 13, down sharply from 96 a year ago, according to

Wong backs court's independence over Israeli PM warrantNEW YORK (AP) — The huge rally for U.S. stocks lost momentum on Thursday as Wall Street counted down to a big jobs report that’s coming on Friday. The crypto market had more action, and bitcoin briefly burst to a record above $103,000 before pulling back. The S&P 500 slipped 0.2% from the all-time high it had set the day before, its 56th of the year so far, to shave a bit off what’s set to be one of its best years of the millennium . The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 248 points, or 0.6%, while the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2% from its own record set the day before. Bitcoin powered above $100,000 for the first time the night before, after President-elect Donald Trump chose Paul Atkins, who's seen as a crypto advocate, as his nominee to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. The cryptocurrency has climbed dramatically from less than $70,000 on Election Day, but it fell back as Thursday progressed toward $99,000, according to CoinDesk. Sharp swings for bitcoin are nothing new, and they took stocks of companies enmeshed in the crypto world on a similar ride. After rising as much as 9% in early trading, MicroStrategy, a company that’s been raising cash just to buy bitcoin, swung to a loss of 4.8%. Crypto exchange Coinbase Global fell 3.1% after likewise erasing a big early gain. Elsewhere on Wall Street, stocks of airlines helped lead the way following the latest bumps up to financial forecasts from carriers. American Airlines Group soared 16.8% after saying it’s making more in revenue during the last three months of 2024 than it expected, and it will likely make a bigger profit than it had earlier forecast. The airline also chose Citi to be its exclusive partner for credit cards that give miles in its loyalty program. That should help its cash coming in from co-branded credit card and other partners grow by about 10% annually. Southwest Airlines climbed 2% after saying it’s seeing stronger demand from leisure travelers than it expected. It also raised its forecast for revenue for the holiday traveling season. On the losing end of Wall Street was Synposys, which tumbled 12.4%. The supplier for the semiconductor industry reported better profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected, but it also warned of “continued macro uncertainties” and gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that fell short of some analysts’ estimates. American Eagle Outfitters fell even more, 14.3%, after the retailer said it’s preparing for “potential choppiness” outside of peak selling periods. It was reminiscent of a warning from Foot Locker earlier in the week and raised more concerns about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain. Solid spending by U.S. consumers has been one of the main reasons the U.S. economy has avoided a recession that earlier seemed inevitable after the Federal Reserve hiked interest rates to crush inflation. But shoppers are now contending with still-high prices and a slowing job market . This week’s highlight for Wall Street will be Friday’s jobs report from the U.S. government, which will show how many people employers hired and fired last month. A report on Thursday said the number of U.S. workers applying for unemployment benefits rose last week but remains at historically healthy levels. Expectations are high that the Fed will cut its main interest rate again when it meets in two weeks. The Fed began easing its main interest rate from a two-decade high in September, hoping to offer more support for the job market. In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury edged down to 4.17% from 4.18% late Wednesday. The S&P 500 fell 11.38 points to 6,075.11. The Dow sank 248.33 to 44,765.71, and the Nasdaq composite lost 34.86 to 19,700.26. In stock markets abroad, indexes were mostly calm in Europe after far-right and left-wing lawmakers in France joined together to vote on a no-confidence motion that will force Prime Minister Michel Barnier and his Cabinet to resign. The CAC 40 index in Paris added 0.4%. In South Korea, the Kospi fell 0.9% to compound its 1.4% decline from the day before. President Yoon Suk Yeol was facing possible impeachment after he suddenly declared martial law on Tuesday night. He revoked the martial law declaration six hours later. Crude oil prices slipped after eight members of the OPEC+ alliance of oil exporting countries decided to put off increasing oil production.

BOULDER — Why would give a fork about Arizona State? The shortest path to the College Football Playoff runs through Folsom Street. Sure, Coach Prime can make more money elsewhere. Pick your elsewhere. Then pick your poison. The Cowboys? . The Raiders? The Giants? If he stays, CU’s on the cusp of a dynasty. Power. Playoffs. Prerogative. The new-look Big 12 is a football island of misfit toys that’s begging for an overlord. The wheels are coming off the Mike Gundy train in Oklahoma State. Kyle Whittingham’s Utes this fall looked like a MySpace to CU’s TikTok. Sanders beat the pair by a combined score of 50-12. “He’s certainly validated his way to do things,” Geoff Schwartz, the Fox Sports analyst and former Oregon/NFL lineman, told me the other day. “Because he’s proven that he could do it with heavy portaling.” Buffs fans were probably seething about the Kansas game again after watching the Sun Devils boat race Iowa State on Saturday in front of a less-than-stellar crowd at Jerry World. The Big 12 title game also underscored three points: Given what transpired at Arrowhead Stadium, ASU tailback Cam Skattebo and quarterback Sam Leavitt would’ve been a handful for the Buffs, too. The Buffs should’ve been there. They will get there. If Sparky is the bar, then this is a league the Buffs and Sanders can win, every year. For as long as want. For as long as wants. Power. Playoffs. Prerogative. If the Buffs can pony up — Sanders is slated to make $5.9 million in 2025 and $6.1 million in 2026 — for a pay bump, why would you want to leave? “It depends on the next crop of players,” Schwartz said. “You’re only as sustainable as the next crop of players. This game is so much about talent acquisition. I think coaching obviously matters, but it’s about the talent acquisition.” The Buffs woke up Saturday with the No. 4 recruiting class in the Big 12, and No. 37 nationally — but that’s just with the high school kids. CU’s 2024 prep signees its transfer group was eighth. The Buffs jumped almost 60 slots among high school hauls in a year, and that’s following a ’24 core that included left tackle Jordan Seaton, wideout Drelon Miller (13 catches, two receiving scores in November) and running back Micah Welch (four rushing TDs, 4.2 yards per carry). The portal opens Monday, and CU’s pitch almost writes itself. You’ll be on national TV every week. You’ll be coached by NFL veterans with NFL nous. You’re coming into a league you can win. If you’re a serious free agent, how is Boulder not on your shortlist? “I don’t know if there’s a model to follow, because part of his model was bringing the No. 1 QB in the 2025 (NFL) draft (Shedeur Sanders) and the best player on his roster (Travis Hunter),” Schwartz pondered. “That was one of the advantages of hiring Deion. “Nobody else has a Travis Hunter to bring. Other teams have also gone portal-heavy and it hasn’t worked. I’m not sure there’s one special formula, like, ‘This is what Deion did, and therefore, we’re going to do the same thing.'” Some have, though. A closer look at ASU’s two-deep for Saturday’s bashing of Iowa State shows that 17 out of the top 44 on the depth chart were transfers who just got there — including 11 of the top 22 on defense. Curt Cignetti’s Indiana Hoosiers are a living, breathing testament to the Prime Method — and did so at a more barren coaching graveyard and in a much tougher league. IU’s QB played at Ohio last year. Its top rusher was at Wake Forest. Its top wideout was at James Madison. Its No. 1 tackler and sack leader also parachuted in from the Dukes’ roster. “I don’t know if there’s another Deion around,” Schwartz continued. “If you get good players, they’ll be good. It’s not that complicated when it comes to college football.” Power. Playoffs. Prerogative. Under Sanders, the Buffs are poised to become the USC of flyover states. The school where the five stars want to play. The practices movie stars want to come to watch. The NFL is a league of thin ice.
