Vor Biopharma Inc. VOR shares are trading higher on Friday after the company announced it has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private investment in public equity financing (PIPE). What To Know: The company expects to generate about $55.6 million in gross proceeds from the PIPE. Vor plans to utilize these proceeds in order to fund clinical and preclinical development of its pipeline candidates and for general corporate purposes. As part of the PIPE, Vor will issue a total of 55,871,260 shares of common stock and accompanying warrants to purchase an additional 69,839,075 shares, priced at $0.99425 per share and warrants. If exercised for cash, the warrants would result in additional gross proceeds to Vor of up to approximately $58.5 million. The PIPE was led by Reid Hoffman who believes in the potential of Vor’s trem-cel therapy to treat acute myeloid leukemia. The therapy utilizes CRISPR/cas9 to modify the bone marrow of patients. “Early data released by Vor suggest a potent effect, which now must be confirmed by future trials. I am delighted to support this company that uses a game-changing technology that will hopefully impact the lives of patients with this lethal cancer – but even more the trajectory of cancer therapy in general,” said Hoffman.

U.S. Dee-ann Durbin, The Associated Press Dec 10, 2024 1:09 PM Share by Email Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Print Share via Text Message FILE - The exterior of Kroger's fulfillment center is shown on July 27, 2022 in Dallas, Tex. (Rebecca Slezak/The Dallas Morning News via AP, File) A federal judge has temporarily halted a proposed merger between supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons, an action that could scuttle the deal. U.S. District Court Judge Adrienne Nelson issued the ruling Tuesday after holding a three-week hearing in Portland, Oregon. Kroger and Albertsons in 2022 proposed what would be the largest grocery store merger in U.S. history. But the Federal Trade Commission sued earlier this year, asking Nelson to block the $24.6 billion deal until an in-house administrative judge at the FTC could consider the merger’s implications. Nelson agreed to pause the merger. “Any harms defendants experience as a result of the injunction do not overcome the strong public interest in the enforcement of antitrust law, especially given the difficulty in disentangling a premature merger,” she wrote in her opinion. Federal regulators argue that combining the two chains would be bad for consumers and workers by eliminating competition. The companies say a merger would help them better compete with big retailers like Walmart, Costco and Amazon. The case may now move to the FTC, although Kroger and Albertsons have asked a different federal judge to block the in-house proceedings. Colorado and Washington are also trying to halt the merger in ongoing state trials. The judge in Washington was expected to release his opinion later Tuesday. The FTC argued that Kroger and Albertsons currently compete in 22 states, closely matching each other on price, quality, private label products and services like store pickup. A merger would eliminate that competition and raise prices for already struggling consumers , the government said. The FTC also said the merger would hurt workers since Kroger and Albertsons would no longer compete to hire them. But Kroger and Albertsons argued their merger would preserve consumer choice by allowing them to better compete against its growing rivals. In its testimony, Albertsons warned Nelson that it might have to lay off workers, close stores and even exit some markets if the merger weren't allowed to proceed. Under the merger agreement, Kroger and Albertsons would sell 579 stores in places where their locations overlap to C&S Wholesale Grocers , a New Hampshire-based supplier to independent supermarkets that also owns the Grand Union and Piggly Wiggly store brands. The FTC argued that C&S is ill-prepared to take on the stores and may want the option to sell or close them. But Kroger and Albertsons said C&S has the experience and national scale to handle the divestiture. Kroger , based in Cincinnati, Ohio, operates 2,800 stores in 35 states, including brands like Ralphs, Smith’s and Harris Teeter. Albertsons , based in Boise, Idaho, operates 2,273 stores in 34 states, including brands like Safeway, Jewel Osco and Shaw’s. Together, the companies employ around 710,000 people.

A Heisman Trophy race that had dozens of viable contenders at the start of the 2024 college football season is now down to just a handful of hopefuls. An award that has been dominated in recent years by quarterbacks, who have claimed the hallowed trophy in 12 of the past 14 years, now seems most likely to be won by either a running back or a wide receiver/cornerback, both of whom have few peers in the game’s modern history. Though it came in a losing effort, Colorado two-way star Travis Hunter added to his already spectacular season with a pair of touchdown catches against Kansas. Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty surpassed the 2,000-yard mark while keeping his team’s College Football Playoff hopes alive. Miami quarterback Cam Ward remained in the Heisman conversation with 280 passing yards and two touchdowns against Wake Forest. REQUIRED READING: Heisman watch: Who are favorites for the Heisman Trophy after Week 13? Where do things stand when it comes to college football’s most prestigious individual honor? Here’s a look at the latest Heisman Trophy odds after Week 13 of the college football season: Heisman Trophy odds According to odds from BetMGM , it’s basically a three-player race for the Heisman, with Hunter, Jeanty and Ward far ahead of the rest of their FBS peers. Here's a breakdown of the current leaders, according to BetMGM’s odds: 1. Colorado WR/CB Travis Hunter (-1000) In a 37-21 loss against Kansas that snapped his team’s four-game win streak, Hunter excelled for Colorado on Saturday. Offensively, he had eight catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns while recording seven tackles and a pass deflection on defense. His output pushed him past the 1,000-yard mark for the season. Hunter has emerged as the betting favorite in recent weeks — and not just because he has made a habit of striking the Heisman pose after big plays during games. Last week, he was -500 to win the award. 2. Boise State RB Ashton Jeanty (+750) The Broncos running back continues to rise up the single-season rushing record book. In a 17-13 win against Wyoming, Jeanty became the 30 th player in FBS history to rush for at least 2,000 yards in a season after he racked up 169 yards and a touchdown on 19 carries despite briefly leaving the game with an injury. His night was highlighted by a 61-yard touchdown run. Jeanty has rushed for at least 125 yards in each of Boise State’s 11 games this season. Though he remains in Heisman contention, the gap has grown between him and Hunter. Jeanty had +425 odds heading into Week 13. REQUIRED READING: Losses by Alabama and others reshape college football's US LBM Coaches Poll after Week 13 3. Miami QB Cam Ward (+1200) Ward remains the third member of the trio, though his odds actually improved following a 42-14 blowout of Wake Forest that wasn’t among his better games this season. He completed 27 of 38 passes for 280 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The Washington State transfer also had a one-yard touchdown run. Heading into the game, Ward has +1400 odds, putting him slightly closer to Jeanty. 4. Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel (+6600) Gabriel is a distant fourth, which may ultimately be enough to earn him an invitation to New York for the Heisman presentation ceremony. His top-ranked Oregon team was idle during Week 13. To this point, he has helped guide the Ducks to an undefeated record, which has allowed them to secure a spot in the Big Ten championship game. They can complete an unbeaten regular season with a win Saturday against Washington. Beyond Gabriel, 10 players are tied for fifth with +500000 odds: Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, Georgia quarterback Carson Beck, Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers, Ohio State quarterback Will Howard, Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, Clemson quarterback Cade Klubnik, Penn State quarterback Drew Allar, Indiana quarterback Kurtis Rourke and Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith.

Plain Talk: 'The good, the bad, the ugly' of artificial intelligenceThe biography of the renowned playback singer Hemlata, titled Dastan-e-Hemlata, was launched on November 23, 2024, Saturday, at the Sahitya Aaj Tak platform in Delhi. This biography has been penned by well-known journalist and biographer Dr. Arvind Yadav. It is an authentic account of Hemlata’s life, containing many interesting anecdotes, including some that even her close ones were unaware of. The author also sheds light on the life of Hemlata’s father, Pandit Jaychand Bhatt, bringing to the literary and music lovers several fascinating insights. At the mere age of thirteen, Hemlata recorded her first film song. Over the course of her career, she has sung more than five thousand songs in 38 languages. In every language and dialect in which films were made in India, Hemlata has sung songs. Apart from the major languages like Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil, Odia, Bengali, Assamese, Gujarati, Punjabi, Urdu, Sanskrit, Prakrit, she has sung in regional languages and dialects like Marwari, Braj, Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Bundeli, Maithili, Dogri, Kashmiri, Konkani, Haryanvi, Nepali, Garhwali, Kumaoni, Chambayali, Bilaspuri, and more. Additionally, Hemlata has sung in foreign languages such as English, French, Italian, Dutch, Zulu, Mauritius Creole, Siraiki, and Multani. She has sung in every genre – love songs, separation songs, devotional songs, folk songs, and ghazals, showcasing her unmatched talent and the incredible versatility of her voice. Hemlata is extremely popular for her Hindi duets with the legendary singer Yesudas, holding the record for the most number of duets with him. In her childhood, Hemlata was called ‘Baby Lata’, and during her adolescence, she was referred to as the ‘Second Lata’. Some even called her ‘cheap Lata’. For film producers who found Lata Mangeshkar’s fee exorbitant, and for music directors who couldn’t get Lata’s dates, Hemlata became their go-to artist. She was their ‘Lata’. Legendary music director Naushad once said, “Hemlata has the voice quality of Lata Mangeshkar and the innocence of Noor Jehan.” Roshan remarked, “I have found my Lata.” SD Burman told his son Rahul Dev Burman, “I will get Hemlata to sing first, not you.” Hemlata was one of the rare artists who had the potential to challenge Lata Mangeshkar’s supremacy. In the 1970s and 1980s, Hemlata set a record by singing the most ‘dubbed songs’ in Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam films that were dubbed into Hindi. Her melodious voice became a household name through the iconic TV series Ramayan. She sang several popular songs, couplets, and chaupais in the series. However, due to one person’s jealousy, she did not initially receive the credit, respect, and popularity she truly deserved. But the truth could not be hidden, and the world soon knew that many of the memorable songs from Ramayan were sung by Hemlata. Hemlata holds a unique record as the first singer to record songs while being nine months pregnant. She recorded the famous song “Kaun Disha Mein Le Ke Chala Re Batuhiya” from the popular film Nadiya Ke Paar when she was pregnant and had already passed her delivery date. The author of this biography, Dr. Arvind Yadav, is primarily a journalist. Apart from Hemlata, he has written biographies of prominent personalities like the renowned scientist Bharat Ratna Professor CNR Rao, India’s first female cardiologist Padma Vibhushan Dr. Padmavati, the well-known social worker Padma Shri Phoolbasan Yadav, the famous entrepreneur Sardar Jodh Singh, renowned entrepreneur, social worker, and doctor Nimmagadda Upendranath, and famous surgeon Dr. Pigilam Shyam Prasad. Several of his books have been published. Dr. Arvind Yadav began his journalism career in 1996 with the Hindi Milap newspaper. He later worked as a reporter with Aaj Tak and Channel 7/IBN 7. In 2008, he became the Executive Editor of Sakshi, a Telugu news channel. Between 2012 and 2015, he served as the Editor of TV9, a Telugu news channel. In 2015, he joined Your Story, a digital media organization, and played a key role in launching its web editions in twelve Indian languages. Dr. Arvind worked as the Managing Editor (Indian Languages) for Your Story. From 2019 to June 2024, he served as the Special Officer (Media) for the Andhra Pradesh government. Arvind Yadav, known for his struggle against injustice, corruption, and untruths through his writing, was born in the historic city of Hyderabad. He completed his schooling and college education in the same city. He holds Master’s degrees in English and Hindi from Osmania University and has also studied science, psychology, and law. He is a prominent expert on the politics and culture of South India. He has travelled to many villages and cities in search of news and stories, a journey that continues. His struggle for the downtrodden has earned him a unique position in the field of journalism. Over the past few years, he has focused on writing stories and articles about people who are striving to bring positive change to society. Exploring different aspects of successful individuals’ lives and presenting them to the public has now become his primary goal. He is a strong advocate for spreading the good work happening in the country to the masses. Established as a journalist, Dr. Arvind Yadav is now also gaining recognition as a storyteller and biographer. Click for more latest Entertainment news .

The Gauteng Department of Education has confirmed that yet another child has died due to suspected food poisoning. The Grade 2 learner from Thabisile Primary School in Diepkloof, Soweto, reportedly died on Friday, 22 November. GRADE 2 LEARNER DIES FROM SUSPECTED FOOD POISONING According to the Gauteng Department of Education the learner allegedly fell ill on Wednesday, 20 November, after reportedly consuming biscuits from a local spaza shop. Her condition reportedly worsened over the course of the next two days, and she was taken to Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital on Friday, where she was tragically declared deceased. Gauteng Education spokesperson Steve Mabona said at this stage, the exact cause of her passing remains unclear. The relevant authorities are conducting investigations to determine the circumstances surrounding this tragic incident. Mabona said they have dispatched the psycho-social support unit to provide counselling to the affected family, learners, and staff at Thabisile Primary School on Monday, 25 November. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, and school community during this difficult time. We remain committed to ensuring the safety and well-being of all learners and will continue to monitor developments closely,” Gauteng Education MEC Matome Chiloane said. Meanwhile, on Friday, a five-year-old Grade R learner also from Diepkloof in Soweto, Gauteng died from suspected food poisoning after consuming snacks bought from a local spaza shop. Three other minors who were hospitalised. FOODBORNE ILLNESSES CLASSIFIED AS A NATIONAL DISASTER On Thursday, 21 November, ministers leading the multidisciplinary teams in government responsible for the national response to foodborne illnesses held a media briefing to outline the government’s action plan to manage foodborne diseases. Justice Minister Thembi Simelane said the disaster management centre had classified foodborne illnesses as a national disaster under the National Disaster Act. Simelane said the classification encourages all organs of state, the private sector, and communities to improve their risk-avoidance practices by adhering to food safety legislation, standards and procedures.

Twelve months ago, you could have bought shares in the sleep disorder treatment company for $24.75 apiece. On Tuesday, the ResMed share price closed the day at $38.19. That sees the ASX 200 healthcare stock up an impressive 54.3% in a year. And if we add in the 21.4 cents in unfranked eligible shareholders will have received over the 12 months, then the accumulated value of ResMed shares is up 55.17%. But after such a strong run higher, is it too late to buy ResMed stock? Not to Catapult Wealth's Dylan Evans (courtesy of The Bull). "ResMed posted a top first quarter result in fiscal year 2025," said Evans, who has a buy recommendation on ResMed. "Income from operations was up 34% on the prior corresponding period, which was well above previous guidance. Revenue was up 11%," he added. As for the "huge opportunity" that remains for the ASX 200 healthcare stock, Evans said: ResMed provides sleep apnoea solutions in a market with strong growth potential. Awareness and diagnosis of sleep apnoea continues to grow, but only a small percentage of potential patients are receiving treatment. Consequently, this represents a huge opportunity for ResMed. Now, some investors have been concerned that drugs like Ozempic could take a bite out of ResMed's future revenues. But Evans isn't particularly concerned. "Fears that new weight loss and diabetes drugs would impact the business continue to ease, and, in our view, pose limited risk," he said. ResMed released its Q1 FY 2025 on 25 October. And with the ASX 200 healthcare stock exceeding guidance on many fronts, investors responded by sending the share price up 5.9% on the day. The 11% increase in revenue Evans referred to came out to US$1.23 billion for the three months. And ResMed achieved a huge boost in its gross margin, up 4.2% to 58.6%. Management attributed the increased margin to manufacturing efficiencies, component cost improvements, and an increase in average selling prices. Commenting on the strong results that have seen the ASX 200 healthcare share outperforming, ResMed CEO Mick Farrell said: Our first-quarter fiscal year 2025 results reflect ongoing momentum and strong execution across all areas of our business. We delivered 11% year-over-year revenue growth, and our focus on operational excellence resulted in another quarter of year-over-year margin expansion and a 34% increase in operating profit.

Sir Alex Ferguson intervenes as INEOS narrowly avoid another major Man Utd blunderBy Karen Garcia, Los Angeles Times A recent study that recommended toxic chemicals in black plastic products be immediately thrown away included a math error that significantly overstated the risks of contamination, but its authors are standing by their conclusions and warn against using such products. Published in the peer-reviewed journal Chemosphere , experts from the nonprofit Toxic-Free Future said they detected flame retardants and other toxic chemicals in 85% of 203 items made of black plastic including kitchen utensils , take-out containers, children’s toys and hair accessories. The study initially said the potential exposure to chemicals found in one of the kitchen utensils approached the minimum levels the Environmental Protection Agency deemed a health risk. But in an update to the study, the authors say they made an error in their calculations and the real levels were “an order of magnitude lower” than the EPA’s thresholds. The error was discovered by Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill University’s Office for Science and Society in Canada. In a blog post, Schwarcz explained that the Toxin-Free Future scientists miscalculated the lower end of what the EPA considered a health risk through a multiplication error. Instead of humans being potentially exposed to a dose of toxic chemicals in black plastic utensils near the minimum level that the EPA deems a health risk, it’s actually about one-tenth of that. Though Schwarcz said the risks outlined in the study aren’t enough for him to discard his black plastic kitchen items if he had them, he agreed with the authors that flame retardants shouldn’t be in these products in the first place. “The math error does not impact the study’s findings, conclusions or recommendations,” said Megan Liu, a co-author of the study who is the science and policy manager for Toxic-Free Future . She added that any traces of flame retardants or toxic chemicals in cooking utensils should be concerning for the public. Flame retardants are getting into commonly used items because black-colored products are being made from recycled electronic waste, such as discarded television sets and computers, that frequently contain the additives. When they’re heated, the flame retardants and other toxic chemicals can migrate out. If you’re wondering whether your old black plastic spoon or other utensils are a part of this group, Liu shared some more guidance. It’s nearly impossible to know whether a black plastic product is contaminated. That’s because these products that include recycled e-waste don’t disclose a detailed list of all ingredients and contaminants in the product. Liu said it’s also unclear how many types of flame retardants are in these black plastic products. Some of the products that researchers tested in this recent study “had up to nine different harmful chemicals and harmful flame retardants in them,” she said. Anytime you’re looking for the type of recycled plastic a product is made of you’re going to look for a number within the chasing arrows (that form a triangle) logo. Recycling symbols are numbered 1 to 7 and we commonly associate the numbers with what we can toss in our blue recycling bins. The 1 through 7 numbers stand for, respectively, polyethylene terephthalate, high-density polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene or Styrofoam, and miscellaneous plastics (including polycarbonate, polylactide, acrylic, acrylonitrile butadiene, styrene, fiberglass and nylon). The study found higher levels of toxic flame retardants in polystyrene plastic, which is labeled with the number 6, said Liu. There isn’t a definitively timeline of when recycled electronic-waste started to be incorporated into black plastic products specifically, but e-waste started to get recycled in the early 2000s, Liu said. The way computers, cellphones, stereos, printers and copiers were being disposed of previously was to simply add them to a landfill without reusing salvageable parts. But as the National Conference of State Legislatures notes, electronics production required a significant amount of resources that could be recovered through recycling. Recovering resources such as metals, plastics and glass through recycling used a fraction of the energy needed to mine new materials. However, the study pointed out that flame retardants and other chemical contaminates have been detected in and near e-waste recycling facilities, in indoor air and dust at formal e-waste recycling facilities in Canada, China, Spain and the U.S. It also noted contamination in soil samples surrounding e-waste recycling sites in China and Vietnam. The safest nontoxic material options for kitchen utensil are wood and stainless steel. ©2024 Los Angeles Times. Visit at latimes.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.
