to get his revenge on the Young Bucks after they cost him the AEW World title back at Dynasty The Elite were also victorious in an all-star eight man tag on last week’s Dynamite where they defeated Kenny Omega Samoa Joe will continue his war against the Death Riders It was Castagnoli who took out Katsuyori Shibata on Wednesday giving him the Gotch piledriver on the bottom of a steel chair This all comes prior to the steel cage match between Joe and Moxley that takes place on May 14 A sit-down with Jamie Hayter has also been announced She and Mercedes Mone will compete in the finals of the

such settings is that standard inference methods based on asymptotic theory may be unreliable even when the total number of units is large” Here one needs to make more assumptions to make progress typically relying on model-based approaches “We organize the presentation of the different model-based inference methods according to data availability We first consider methods that are valid even in the extreme case in which there is only one treated unit and one treated period The main challenge in this setting is that there is very limited information on the distribution of potential outcomes of the treated unit in the treated period the solutions proposed in the literature rely on extrapolating cross-sectional information from the untreated units or time-series information from untreated periods to infer the distribution of the treated potential outcomes The choice between these alternatives should depend on the data availability and on the assumptions one is willing to make regarding the distribution of the errors in modeling the potential outcomes” ·       On VoxDev, Oliver Hanney highlights one use of null results: stopping ineffective interventions, and summarizes a range of

and to bring someone who came through the ranks at AS Roma shows elevation of the standard we’re setting at the Club,” said Chicago Fire II General Manager Alex Boler “We are confident he will fit our environment and philosophy and are excited to welcome him to Chicago.” Cassano won the Copa Italia Primavera in the 2022-23 season after featuring for the U-17 registering 15 assists across all age

They could not be with us today and we really wanted to make them proud of us with a performance like this I told the players that if an incident punishes us we must still leave the pitch with our heads held high We are in good shape physically – so why not go for it “I think the first half an hour was really very good they adjusted well and we did very well to stay organised and close off all the spaces that they tried to exploit.” I really liked the way you stopped Inter playing their game with four players – Lorenzo Pellegrini Eldor Shomurodov and Bryan Cristante – and with Manu Kone acting almost like a sweeper in midfield I had seen him play like that for France and really liked him Could you tell us a bit about these two tactical choices “We’d already used this system away to Udinese Back then it was [Devyne] Rensch rather than Soule and we executed it really well That’s why I showed the lads that match again and told them we needed to reproduce that kind of performance This might be your last time here at San Siro “I am genuinely happy for the fans and the players It wasn’t easy and we hadn’t beaten a big side this season Today we put an end to that against a team we all know the strength of Fiorentina are next and we must focus on that match They’re a good team too and in fine form.” Winning 1-0 shows great control and nerves of steel Do you think the one area for improvement is taking chances as Roma had several opportunities to kill off the match earlier on particularly with Inter committing numbers forward in the hunt for an equaliser We’ve had a few 1-0 wins this season where we’ve missed lots of chances but what matters is always bringing home the three points.” “We’ll enjoy Ranieri until the end of the season.” How much are you enjoying it yourself

As quantum devices become more and more sophisticated, it is important to have top notch researchers expanding the field. Claudio Chamon an expert in electron fractionalization and topology will be joining the College of Science’s Department of Physics and Astronomy for the fall of 2025 and will further elevate Purdue’s standing in advanced physics research and education “We are extremely pleased to welcome Claudio Chamon to our college’s faculty,” said Lucy Flesch “His internationally recognized work in electron fractionalization and its implications for condensed matter physics adds a significant dimension to our research capabilities.”  Chamon's research has revealed the existence of fractionally charged topological excitations in systems where time-reversal symmetry is respected. His research has been cited over 13,000 times and over 5,000 times since 2019 “I study how particles behave when they interact in large groups and the unique forms of quantum matter that result from these interactions,” said Chamon “Some special systems behave as if their building blocks carry only a fraction of an electron's charge The unusual properties of these fractionalized building blocks — called fractional quasiparticles — could be useful for processing quantum information and creating stable qubits for quantum computers My work has focused on how to understand and build quantum states containing these fractional quasiparticles.” The talent-based Moveable Dream Hires program is piloted by the Deans and Provost to attract high-performing top-caliber faculty to Purdue even when the topic-based openings in a given year do not match the moveable talent It complements typical topic-based faculty searches across the University and enables the recruitment of faculty who may not be actively on the job market These recruits are tenure-track or tenured faculty.   and doctorate degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology He was awarded an NSF Early CAREER Award in 1999 and was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2008 His research focuses on strongly correlated quantum matter and the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of classical and quantum systems “What excites me most about joining the faculty at Purdue is the opportunity to contribute to and be part of forward-thinking initiatives specifically its Quantum Science and Engineering pillar,” said Chamon “I am looking forward to collaborate with world-class researchers in an innovative interdisciplinary environment led by the College of Science at the Hall of Data Science and AI I am also thrilled to join the Physics and Astronomy faculty and together push the boundaries of knowledge in quantum many-body physics and mentor the next generation of scientists.” His research winds through the ever-growing field of electron fractionalization from quantum Hall states that are sustained at large magnetic fields to a novel type of quantum Hall fluid that he and co-workers theoretically predicted and that were recently observed experimentally to exist at zero magnetic field He also proposed fractionalization in graphene-like structures we showed that fractionally charged topological excitations exist in two space dimensions in tight-biding systems where time-reversal symmetry is respected,” said Chamon The topological zero-modes are mathematically similar to fractional vortices in p-wave superconductors They correspond to a twist in the phase in the mass of the Dirac fermions akin to cosmic strings in particle physics,” said Chamon “The quasiparticle excitations can carry irrational charge and irrational exchange statistics These excitations can be deconfined at zero temperature the charge re-rationalizes to the value 1/2.” In addition to leading his own research group of physics students and postdocs Chamon envisions fostering collaboration with faculty in the Theoretical Quantum Science Neighborhood He said this setup would encourage interaction among members from various disciplines — physics and computer science — by creating a dynamic research and learning environment He believes that a collaborative model such as this will be ideal for training the future quantum workforce “Many of the possible exotic quantum states of matter which could be valuable for quantum information processing and quantum computing are difficult to find in naturally occurring materials,” said Chamon “My current research focuses on leveraging symmetry principles to design superconducting circuits capable of realizing these quantum states creating blueprints tailored to specific target certain states which bridges both quantum science and quantum engineering.” About the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Purdue University    Purdue’s Department of Physics and

They don’t want yesterday’s man. They tend to want a 30-something German or a Basque from an unpronounceable village with the letter X in its name Claudio Ranieri, on the other hand, turned 73 a couple of months ago. When he left the Cagliari job last summer, everyone assumed it was to retire, collect his pension and play with his grandkids. But football won’t leave Ranieri alone. “I had more offers in the last few months than when I won the league with Leicester,” he said he boarded a plane to London — a regular flight with ordinary people like you and me — hailed a cab and told the driver to take him to Claridge’s the luxury hotel where Roma’s owner Dan Friedkin was staying The Texan wished to know: would Ranieri come out of retirement for a third spell with the club he had supported as a boy a member of Roma’s most recent title-winning side (2000-01) was also in the frame for the job after resurrecting his career with the Turkish national team Whoever accepted to become Roma’s fourth coach of 2024 would need guts brains and a big heart — all things Ranieri had held in his hands as a butcher’s boy growing up in the San Saba neighbourhood of the Italian capital At the time, Roma found themselves 12th in 20-team Serie A and in disarray. They were enduring their worst start to a season since 1979. The fans, some of the most vociferous in the world, were in open rebellion. They intimidated chief executive Lina Souloukou into resigning and harassed captain Lorenzo Pellegrini and fellow senior players Bryan Cristante and Gianluca Mancini It was the lowest ebb of the Friedkins’ ownership Three years of underperformance in the league had been covered up by Jose Mourinho’s charisma and controversies, the conquest of a first trophy in 14 years and back-to-back European finals, albeit in UEFA’s second- and third-tier competitions The financial losses caused by repeated failures to qualify for the Champions League and investing €115million (£95m; $119m) net in Mourinho’s first summer mattered little to fans as long as big names Paulo Dybala and Romelu Lukaku kept arriving and the Friedkins showed respect to the club’s history and tradition a few months into a new three-year contract and after spending another €100m ended that Ivan Juric, his replacement, was introduced with the stated belief his appointment fell in line with the owners’ ambitions to win trophies. The ashen Croat was sacked within six weeks, having decried “a s**t situation.” What must he think of Southampton he answered the club’s call in another hour of need having been Champions League semi-finalists in 2018 were sixth at the time and risked missing out on Europe’s blue-riband competition for the first time in six seasons when he stepped into the breach it really is saying something that Roma were in a better state back then than they were in November But the context was eerily similar: a palpable antipathy towards the owners manifesting itself in scathing banners inside the Stadio Olimpico on matchdays and outside the team’s Trigoria training complex So Ranieri put his scruples over De Rossi to one side and heard them out he was offered the chance to move upstairs and become an executive at the end of the season he still left the fans with the impression that this wasn’t about power and that he would do the job for nothing So long ago that goalkeepers could still pick up backpasses For all the Michelin stars given out for molecular gastronomy and plates served with micro-herbs tweezered onto them He has played to the gallery by not ruling out a return to the club for Francesco Totti in some capacity. He’s played his best players. Mats Hummels, Leandro Paredes and Dybala are all World Cup winners Juric inexplicably overlooked the first two was asked to chase after defenders rather than make them chase after him Ranieri rectified that and doesn’t seem to care that as long as Dybala keeps playing, his contract will be automatically renewed with a salary escalator; something De Rossi and Juric always had in the backs of their minds. He also took the much-criticised players Pellegrini, Cristante and Nicola Zalewski out of the spotlight defending the skipper — a Roman like him — in the press and leaving him out of the starting XI so neither he nor the team had to play under a cacophony of whistles every time he touched the ball Ranieri rather unexpectedly brought him back for the biggest game of the year Pellegrini apparently had a “mad desire” to play — and it showed curling in a shot from the edge of the box after a breathtaking transition It evoked memories of another derby from 14 years ago when Roma came back to win after he boldly took off his figli di Roma — or sons of Rome — Totti and De Rossi at half-time This Pellegrini decision was a new twist in man-management from Ranieri a skill far more vital than whatever tactics reel is trending on social media this time from a goal kick with Alexis Saelemaekers pouncing on his own rebound to clinch a 2-0 victory The Belgian’s return from injury has been another reason for Roma’s upturn in form Dybala — who is “worth the ticket price alone” in Ranieri’s opinion — was involved in both goals and spent the rest of his time on the pitch drawing bookings from Lazio players.

Follow James on Twitter @JamesHorncastle Roma have 'made contact with ex-Arsenal, Barcelona and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas' to take over in the summer The Italian side are currently being led by Claudio Ranieri in his third stint at the helm but his short-term deal expires in June having called it a day when rescuing Cagliari from relegation the season before He agreed to take charge and has led Roma to sixth, within touching distance of the Champions League spots.  But the club recognise that he is not the long term solution and are putting the feelers out for a new boss.  Fabregas has emerged as one of the top candidates and is currently in charge of Como, who he has led to a comfortable mid-table position in their first season back in the top flight.  He is regarded as a rising star of management and Sky Sports Italy have reported that contact has been made by Roma already.  Stefano Pioli, Ajax boss Francesco Farioli and Genoa's Patrick Vieira are also in the frame for the job.  Fabregas might have Ranieri's blessing to take over after a touching conversation between the pair when Como faced Roma earlier in the season.  'I hope to become like you,' said the former midfielder. 'No, you don’t have to hope for that, you need to hope for better. I tell you that from the heart', Ranieri replied.  The veteran boss then went on to tip Fabregas, 37, for the top, telling a TV interviewer: 'I told Fabregas that he will reach very important levels.  'A coach this young who makes the team play in this way is destined for the top clubs.'  Arteta's first foray into management has matched the early success of his stellar playing career.  He broke onto the scene as a talented teenager at Arsenal, going on to make more than 200 appearances for the Gunners.  He then signed for Barcelona in 2011 and went on to win one LaLiga title and a Copa del Rey before switching back to the Premier League, joining Chelsea in 2014.  Fabregas scored 15 times in 138 games and helped the Blues to two Premier League titles, an FA Cup and Europa League.  He then rounded off his career with a stint at Monaco and then Como before transitioning into coaching.  No one seems to have shared their thoughts on this topic yetLeave a comment so your voice will be

(AUWCL) is proud to announce that Dean Emeritus Claudio Grossman has been honored with the Nelson Mandela Award by the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) International Human Rights Section (IHRS) This highest distinction in international human rights recognizes individuals whose extraordinary achievements have profoundly impacted the global pursuit of justice The award was presented during a special ceremony at the AALS annual meeting on January 9 The event included remarks from Eduardo Bertoni director of AUWCL’s Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law who highlighted Professor Grossman’s exceptional contributions to advancing human rights and international law “Professor Grossman’s life and career are a testament to resilience and unwavering commitment to the principles of justice and human dignity,” Bertoni said “As a co-founder of the Center for Human Rights and Humanitarian Law his leadership has helped make AUWCL a global hub for human rights advocacy The ceremony also featured personal remarks from Nienke Grossman the daughter of Professor Grossman who is currently professor of law and co-director of the Center for International and Comparative Law at the University of Baltimore School of Law sharing heartfelt reflections on his profound influence on both her personal and professional life though at times it has felt like we were sharing him with the entire world,” she said short of having a clone or an identical twin that I don’t know about I just cannot imagine how he does everything he does.”  Professor Grossman expressed deep gratitude to the selection committee and reflected on the collective nature of his accomplishments “This award is not just for me but for the collective ‘me and my circumstances,’” he said invoking Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset who taught me resilience and the belief in our shared humanity from facing political oppression in Chile to contributing to international law as chairperson of the United Nations Committee Against Torture and a member of the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights He credited those who supported democratic transitions in Latin America and reminded attendees of the enduring lessons from Nelson Mandela’s life “Mandela’s example teaches us that a life worth living is one with purpose,” Grossman noted and the creation of space for others to continue the fight for justice and dignity.”  AUWCL celebrates Professor Grossman’s remarkable legacy His lifelong dedication to justice and the rule of law exemplifies the values of the Nelson Mandela Award and his work leaves an indelible mark on the field of human rights The prog-metal guitarist on why the career spanning concept of The Amory Wars was borne out of insecurity and why he knows exactly when it’s time to pick up a Gibson he’s surrounded by other people on a tour bus he’s with his wife and writing partner Chondra Echert and their ten-year-old son Atlas When he found himself staying in an Airbnb in Paris all by himself – his wife on a writing retreat in Italy his son back in the US – the conditions felt jarring and foreign That was when his mind ran off without him Being alone with your thoughts can be dangerous,” Sanchez considers bundled in a coat on a chilly early February early sipping coffee in the upstairs room of a Leicester Square pub I actually thought I thrived because at least I had my family whereas this was a moment where I was completely alone.” He began imagining what it would be like if that solitude were more permanent in the alternate universe where he hadn’t met his wife where they hadn’t brought their son into the world Coheed and Cambria’s new album The Father Of Make Believe – the next volume of the band’s ongoing story of The Amory Wars – is a narrative of intertwining hypotheticals (The song on which he explores that question feels eerily like a eulogy written on a postcard for the future) Who would he be in the infinite alternative realms in which he’d taken a right turn in life instead of a left Everything that it brought to the fore exemplified the somewhat existential midlife crisis Sanchez was going through Sanchez was still processing the deaths of both his grandfather and his uncle there’s this throughline of mortality,” he ponders “Death kind of scares me and it makes me very sad I didn’t experience much loss because it was sort of sheltered from me but now I’m getting older it’s becoming much more prevalent.” Death makes the living jolt – it’s a reminder of the ever-encroaching inevitable that’s easy to forget in a fast-paced world Brushing as close to it as we do in times of loss provokes us to find a sense of perspective in life but it’s natural to look over one’s shoulder and wonder would we be satisfied with how our time panned out This was chiefly what Sanchez was exploring he realised he’d stepped a fraction closer to the lives his grandfather and uncle were living his grandfather outliving his grandmother by a few decades he and his wife would be separated too – when they vowed to love each other till death do them part the gravity of that parting perhaps didn’t hit home as hard as it could later there’s at least one universe out there now where his grandparents are reunited It takes place in The Father Of Make Believe on the tender yet epic mid-album highlight Meri of Mercy in which the character of Sirius Amory – a stand-in for his grandfather – from earlier volumes of The Amory Wars returns and reunites with his wife Meri It was a beautiful day and the view from the window was amazing It just reminded me of them and the possibility of them potentially reuniting in the afterlife I told my mother that I brought him back and she was so touched by that.” The other song Sanchez wrote in that Airbnb follows directly after Meri & Mercy on the tracklist – and sonically expelling his overflowing reserves of anger that he says he was trapped with at that period Intertwined within its introduction of a new character to The Amory Wars is a sense of the New Yorkers fighting back against the notion of being underrated As he was looking back and questioning his path Sanchez began questioning the perception of his band and the creative decisions he’s taken along the way the genesis of The Amory Wars came from his feeling that he couldn’t quite own his narrative “I created The Amory Wars out of insecurity,” he considers “I couldn’t see myself as the frontman of a band What better way to make myself more comfortable than to hide behind a curtain I find myself more comfortable with who I am and am willing to pull back the curtain and wonder how I would be perceived and would things be any different if there hadn’t been a concept tied to the band The concept for The Father Of Make Believe began gestating not long after the cycle concluded for 2022’s Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind Because there was so much pressing on the walls of Sanchez’s mind he felt that there was no need to stop writing music – there was more he had to express while his emotions still burned hot he had some scraps left over from writing A Window Of The Waking Mind as well amorphous ideas that hadn’t yet been fleshed out Some material from this time fed into what became Goodbye Sunshine “I really do feel like The Father Of Make Believe was just an extension of the writing process of A Window Of The Waking Mind The thing I learned now that the record is finished is that our way of writing is more in line with the fashion of what we’d done maybe when the band was younger When we toured on The Second Stage Turbine Blade we had in our setlist In Keeping Secrets and that album wasn’t even recorded yet It’s important for me to continue to express myself and write Those are really the main things that I have in the room when I’m writing something that can give me the dirt that I need but something that seems pretty smooth for the lighter stuff.” Intriguingly, Sanchez is starting his own guitar company, Evil Instruments. Working with the California-based manufacturer Dunable, the burgeoning business showed off its first model, the Jackhammer, at NAMM earlier this year Sanchez had spent two years playing prototypes all of which stemmed from a design he sketched out on paper while on a flight one day “It’s a fairly classic, unique body type, and I’m really excited about it,” says Sanchez. “It’s a two humbucker situation, the neck profile sort of mimics what I am comfortable playing weight wise as well. There are two versions. There’s like a stock version import that one can get, and then there’s also a US custom version that will come assembled with Bare Knuckle pickups that are the ones that I typically play.” The present looks exciting enough, but what about the future? Although there are points, such as on Goodbye Sunshine, where the record feels very final, there are still two more volumes of the Vaxis series to come. Sanchez isn’t worried about it. In a way, he just has to live his life and the story will write itself. “Life will dictate what the story is going to be. But for the most part, like, I know how I dance, and I’m really excited about it, because I think it’s a fairly unique way to put closure on the whole thing. But I won’t know how I get there until I write those records, until whatever life experience happens that informs what the songs are about.” The world’s leading authority and resource for all things guitar.

Manchester City made a fuss of Claudio Echeverri’s arrival at the club The 19-year-old was captain as Argentina finished second in last month’s South American Under-20 Championship and with six goals on the way to the final All smiles in his new home! 😃 🇦🇷 pic.twitter.com/jc4hHXHiRx — Manchester City (@ManCity) February 27, 2025 He went straight into training with Pep Guardiola’s squad last week and will spend the rest of the season in Manchester although first-team action is not necessarily on the cards just yet he has good skills,” Guardiola said on Friday He then immediately started talking about upcoming games against Nottingham Forest and Brighton & Hove Albion giving an idea of how difficult it is for a new we have long weeks to train and prepare well Guardiola had said the youngster could feature “maybe for the end of the season referring to the inaugural Club World Cup this summer but there is going to be a patient approach from his new club City and River Plate agreed to let him stay on loan in Argentina when they agreed an initial £12.5million ($15.9m) deal at the end of 2023 the Premier League side did not expect him to make a sudden impact when he eventually arrived and that has not changed The thinking all along has been that Echeverri will be given — and need — time to bed into the first team setup with a loan elsewhere not ruled out either Comparisons with Julian Alvarez were somewhat inevitable when the deal was agreed because a) the transfer fees were similar and c) both were allowed to stay at the club before arriving in Manchester But Alvarez was 22 and had played more than 100 senior matches whereas Echeverri was 18 with just one senior start to his name And while he clearly sparkled with his country at the recent under-20’s tournament and now has over 50 senior appearances under his belt having broken into the River side his form over the past 12 months has not matched the level of expectation in his homeland The highlight reel of his goals and assists for Argentina Under-20s clearly demonstrates the talent City have secured: there are no cheap assists with most usually coming after a mazy dribble or driving run (the only exception a well-weighted pass over the top of an exposed defence) and his goals are all very well taken — even the sole penalty was a Panenka against Brazil he stands out more in his own age groups — as he also did in the Under-17 World Cup around the time City signed him — than he does in senior football He is very much a player who tries to attack whenever he gets the ball which is usually in the No 10 position behind the opposition’s midfield He has a very good ability to wriggle out of tight spaces with quick footwork and body feints and that is something that helps him dribble well He often looks to play through balls and his creativity is obvious just from those Argentina age group highlights even accounting for the fact that even the best playmakers tend to give the ball away more than anybody else on the pitch This was something that was evident from the available evidence 12 months ago and with far more senior matches under his belt including when it comes to pressing opponents Although the Argentinian league can be a brutal place he had to toughen up physically to impose himself more on games and he may still be short of the level needed to shine in the Premier League Breaking into River’s first team was obviously an important step but he did not consistently influence matches as four goals and six assists in 41 matches in the most recent campaign suggests River have endured a difficult year and in much the same way that few individuals have shone at City this season Echeverri has hardly been in an environment conducive to showing his best form but it does mean that he arrives in Manchester with plenty of work to be done on his game It might be helpful here to establish some possible parallels City signed two young centre-backs in January with Abdukodir Khusanov already starting to show a good level after an admittedly torrid debut but he has adapted well and has shown a passing range that was rarely given an opportunity to shine at Lens While Khusanov has already played against Chelsea has been given a far more gentle introduction with two starts against Football League opposition in the FA Cup Reis and Echeverri actually captained their countries at that Under-17 World Cup in 2023 and sources say the Brazilian was signed with the intention of becoming a regular option for City in the coming years albeit after an initial period of adaptation and a need to develop physically Echeverri seems to slot in between Reis and the Sierra Leone defender that City also signed in January but immediately loaned out to Lens The 18-year-old could also spend next season on loan and he is not considered a viable first-team option in the way Khusanov and Reis are Echeverri will be in Manchester and will always have a better chance of finding a place in the team but then there is the example of James McAtee who has been at City since he was 10 and has had two years of senior English football with Sheffield United He has struggled to get game time for Guardiola even when the midfield looked run into the ground at the end of last year In terms of Argentinian mid-season signings Echeverri might be more similar to Maximo Perrone than Alvarez settled immediately and contributed to huge success for club and country Perrone signed from Velez Sarsfield a year after Alvarez and a year before Echeverri He actually made his Premier League debut a month later but although he was highly regarded by the City coaches He has the technique to fit in at City but maybe not the physical profile It is not that Echeverri does not deserve the fanfare around his arrival nor that he is destined for years spent on loan away from City he may be able to develop his game quickly in a new environment But there is an acknowledgement that he will need time to fully break into the City team despite their woes this season because of his relative inexperience and because Guardiola generally experiments far less after February — something he has already alluded to when discussing the ‘finals’ coming up City are pushing for a top-four finish rather than the title this season and perhaps those lower standards might present an opportunity for Echeverri but it might not be until the more experimental Club World Cup setting that their latest arrival can showcase his talents Sam Lee is the Manchester City correspondent for The Athletic.
