[+] rollover risk, and provides a rating on a five-star scale to help consumers make knowledgeable choices on new vehicle purchases. New advanced driver assistance technologies and crashworthiness pedestrian protection are among the planned upgrades to the 5-Star Safety Ratings program, known as the New Car Assessment Program (NCAP). The federal program evaluates how well vehicles perform in crash tests, including rollover risk, and provides a rating on a five-star scale to help consumers make knowledgeable choices on new vehicle purchases. The planned improvements , developed to advance safety on the nation’s roads and reduce deaths and serious injuries, were announced on Monday by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). “This action today is another important step toward addressing the crisis on our roads and achieving the Department’s ambitious, long-term goal of zero road fatalities,” Pete Buttigieg, U.S. Transportation Secretary, said in a statement. “Like our move earlier this year to make automatic emergency braking standard on new passenger cars and light trucks, these changes to the 5-Star Safety Ratings will speed up adoption of technologies that reduce the frequency and severity of crashes while helping consumers make informed decisions about buying a new car.” The goal, the federal agency said, is to help protect vehicle occupants, pedestrians and others outside a vehicle by emphasizing new and emerging safety technologies and features. The safety update was included as part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law , the agency noted. Planned upgrades to the federal consumer information program include: “Our goal with NHTSA’s 5-Star Safety Ratings program has always been to help consumers choose safer vehicles and to encourage manufacturers to improve vehicle safety,” Adam Raviv, NHTSA chief counsel, said in a statement. “With these NCAP updates, we’re ensuring consumers have more useful and relevant information on the latest safety technologies and that the program keeps up with the pace of technological change and innovation.” This Viral Smart Bassinet Is 30% Off With The Snoo Black Friday Sale The 50 Best Black Friday Deals So Far, According To Our Deals Editors Cathy Chase, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety , acknowledged the importance of the new measures for the nation’s road safety. “We are pleased to see NHTSA finalize long overdue and much-needed upgrades to its 5-Star Safety Ratings program,” she said in a statement. “With over 42,000 fatalities and 2.38 million injuries from motor vehicle crashes in 2022 coupled with nearly 40 million vehicles subject to safety recalls in 2023, it is clear more must be done to achieve safer road users and safer vehicles.” Chase added that NHTSA’s work is essential, but more resources are needed if it is to accomplish its mission of safeguarding the traveling public and addressing “this public health crisis on our roadways.” For more information on the New Car Assessment Program, click here .
Pride, bragging rights and more than $115M at stake when final college playoff rankings come out
SAN ANTONIO — Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to complete their college careers in the Alamo Bowl rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft. Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history. "We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft," Sanders said Monday. "We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football." While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and two-way star Hunter received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft. "It was his idea we should get disability insurance for our athletes for this game to ensure that they played and if there was some kind of injury that they would be well taken care of," George said. "So, we worked together on that. We're excited about it. We think it's great that all our players are playing in the game. That's what all bowl games should be like." Colorado (9-3, No. 23 CFP) will face the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars (10-2, No. 17 CFP) in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. While most teams are scrambling with starters opting out of bowl games this year to enter the transfer portal or NFL draft, the Buffaloes did not lose any player on their two-deep roster. "It's more than what I got (when he played at Kansas State)," Colorado linebackers coach Andre' Hart said. "They gave us a helmet and said pop this on your leg and get out there and play. For them to get that (increased insurance coverage), I just think it's beneficial. To talk about where the game is, where it's going and how leadership is taking care of the players, I thought that's excellent." Shedeur Sanders completed 337 of 454 passes for 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Many scouting services have Sanders rated as the top quarterback in this year's draft. Hunter received the Heisman Trophy as a two-way standout at cornerback and wide receiver. He had 92 receptions for 1,152 yards and 14 touchdowns and as a cornerback had four interceptions, broke up 11 passes and limited the opposition to 22 receptions on 688 defensive snaps. "They've taken care of us, everybody," Colorado running back Micah Welch said. "It really means a lot to have every teammate up here. That's a big thing. What I like about Coach Prime, they're taking care of us."

On August 9, 2024, Humacyte issued a press release announcing that the FDA “will require additional time to complete its review of its Biologic License Application (BLA) for the acellular tissue engineered vessel (ATEV) in the vascular trauma indication.” The press release disclosed in part, that, “[d]uring the course of the BLA review, the FDA has conducted inspections of our manufacturing facilities and clinical sites and has actively engaged with us in multiple discussions regarding our BLA filing[.]” On this news, the Company’s stock price declined $1.29, or 16.4%, to close at $6.62 per share on August 12, 2024. The complaint further alleges that on October 17, 2024, the FDA released a Form 483 concerning Humacyte’s Durham, North Carolina facility, which revealed violations, including “no microbial quality assurance,” “no microbial testing,” and inadequate “quality oversight.” On this news, the Company’s stock price declined $0.95, or 16.35%, to close at $4.86 per share on October 17, 2024. Plaintiff alleges that during the class period, defendants failed to disclose to investors: (1) that the Company’s Durham, North Carolina facility failed to comply with good manufacturing practices, including quality assurance and microbial testing; (2) that the FDA’s review of the BLA would be delayed while Humacyte remediated these deficiencies; and (3) that, as a result, there was a substantial risk to FDA approval of ATEV for vascular trauma.
