The Cincinnati Bearcats men's basketball team has gotten off to a fast start this season in more ways than one. The No. 16 Bearcats have raced to a 5-0 record while outscoring their opponents by more than 31 points per game, with just one team (Northern Kentucky) coming within 16 points. Cincinnati is averaging a robust 87 points per game with one of the more efficient offenses in college basketball. Cincinnati will look to continue that hot streak when it plays host to Alabama State in nonconference action Wednesday evening. Cincinnati has punished opposing defenses in a variety of ways this season. Despite being the No. 14 offense in the nation in Ken Pomeroy's efficiency ratings, the Bearcats aren't among the nation's leaders in pace. Still, they take advantage of those opportunities when they are there. "Us playing fast is something we want to do," Cincinnati forward Dillon Mitchell said. "When I was being recruited here, that was something Coach (Wes) Miller wanted to do. "There could be games where we're not making shots or something is off, but one thing is we're gonna push the ball, play hard and play fast. That's something he preaches. We'll be in shape and get rebounds." Mitchell is fresh off a double-double with 14 points and 11 rebounds in Cincinnati's 81-58 road win at Georgia Tech Saturday. He is one of four Bearcats to average double figures in scoring this season. That balance was on display once again against the Yellow Jackets, with Connor Hickman and Jizzle James also scoring 14 points each and Simas Lukosius contributing 12 points. In that game, Cincinnati sank 51.6 percent of its shots while regularly getting out into transition with 16 fastbreak points, while winning the rebounding battle 36-29. "Any time you get a road win over a quality, Power 4 team, you're gonna feel good about it," Miller said. "I was pleased with our effort." Lukosius is scoring 16.6 points per game, while James is at 14.0 points, followed by Mitchell at 12.4, while he also grabs a team-best 8.6 rebounds. Alabama State (3-3) has a tough task ahead, especially when considering its 97-78 loss at Akron Sunday, which ended a three-game winning streak. The Hornets allowed the Zips to shoot 46.4 percent from the field and were 53-32 in the rebounding battle. Alabama State gave up a season high in points, after playing the likes of LSU and UNLV earlier this season. Akron standout Nate Johnson lit up Alabama State for 25 points, as the game got away from the Hornets in the second half to keep them winless in true road games. Alabama leading scorers CJ Hines and TJ Madlock still got theirs against Akron, scoring 19 and 17 points, respectively. They were joined in double figures by reserve Tyler Mack (18 points), but recent history says they'll need more help to keep up with the Bearcats. Hines leads the Hornets with 15.7 points per game, while Madlock contributes 14.5 points. In previous Akron Basketball Classic wins last week against Omaha and Lamar, Alabama State featured at least four double-digit scorers in each game. --Field Level Media

Closing marks second significant acquisition from RA Capital's Raven incubator in 2024, and first acquisition of a company built by Raven from a technology platform in-licensed from a large pharmaceutical company BOSTON , Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RA Capital Management, LP (RA Capital), a multi-stage investment manager dedicated to evidence-based investing in public and private healthcare, life sciences, and planetary health companies, today announced that AbbVie has closed its $1.4 billion acquisition of RA Capital's portfolio company Aliada Therapeutics. Aliada's lead investigational asset is ALIA-1758, an anti-pyroglutamate amyloid beta (3pE-Aβ) antibody, which is in development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and is currently in a Phase 1 clinical trial. ALIA-1758 utilizes a novel blood-brain barrier-crossing technology that enhances delivery of targeted drugs into the central nervous system. Johnson & Johnson (through its venture capital arm, Johnson & Johnson Innovation – JJDC, Inc.), RA Capital, and Raven (RA Capital's healthcare incubator) co-founded Aliada and co-led the series seed financing in 2021 to advance the MODELTM platform created by Johnson & Johnson scientists that was licensed to Aliada at its inception. "Congratulations to the Aliada and AbbVie teams and our fellow investors on the close of this transaction," said Joshua Resnick , MD, Senior Managing Director at RA Capital Management and former board director at Aliada. "The acquisition of Aliada is the second significant acquisition of a Raven-grown company this year, joining Novartis' $1 billion upfront acquisition of radiopharmaceutical developer Mariana Oncology in May." "Delivering therapeutics across the blood-brain barrier with a low-volume, subcutaneous injection would be revolutionary for treating Alzheimer's disease and other neurological disorders, and has long been a dream in the field," said Laura Tadvalkar , PhD, Managing Director at RA Capital Management and former board chair at Aliada. "We look forward to following ALIA-1758's progress through the clinic, as AbbVie advances this important medicine for Alzheimer's disease patients."

Arteta wanted his team to prove their European credentials following some underwhelming displays away from home, and the Gunners manager got exactly what he asked for. Goals from Gabriel Martinelli, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Magalhaes, Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard got their continental campaign back on track in style following the 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan last time out. A memorable victory also ended Sporting’s unbeaten start to the season, a streak of 17 wins and one draw, the vast majority of which prompted Manchester United to prise away head coach Ruben Amorim. The Gunners had failed to win or score in their two away games in the competition so far this season, but they made a blistering start in the Portuguese capital and took the lead after only seven minutes. Declan Rice fed overlapping full-back Jurrien Timber, who curled a low cross in behind the home defence for Martinelli to finish at the far post. Arsenal doubled their lead in the 20th minute thanks to a glorious ball over the top from Thomas Partey. Saka escaped the clutches of his marker Maximiliano Araujo to beat the offside trap and poke the ball past advancing goalkeeper Franco Israel for Havertz to tap home. It was a scintillating first-half display which completely overshadowed the presence of Viktor Gyokeres in Sporting’s attack. The prolific Sweden striker, formerly of Coventry, has been turning the heads of Europe’s top clubs with his 24 goals in 17 games this season – including a hat-trick against Manchester City earlier this month. But the only time he got a sniff of a run at goal after an optimistic long ball, he was marshalled out of harm’s way by Gabriel. David Raya was forced into one save, tipping a fierce Geovany Quenda drive over the crossbar. But Arsenal added a third on the stroke of half-time, Gabriel charging in to head Rice’s corner into the back of the net. To rub salt in the wound, the Brazilian defender mimicked Gyokeres’ hands-over-his-face goal celebration. That may have wound Sporting up as they came out after the interval meaning business, and they pulled one back after Raya tipped Hidemasa Morita’s shot behind, with Goncalo Inacio netting at the near post from the corner. Former Tottenham winger Marcus Edwards fired over, as did Gyokeres, with Arsenal temporarily on the back foot. But when Martin Odegaard’s darting run into the area was halted by Ousmane Diomande’s foul, Saka tucked away the penalty. Substitute Trossard added the fifth with eight minutes remaining, heading in the rebound after Mikel Merino’s shot was saved, and Gyokeres’ miserable night was summed up when his late shot crashed back off the post.Walmart’s early Black Friday deals have arrived, and we’ve found a handful of deals that rival last year’s Black Friday prices. If any of these products are on your shopping list, now is a good time to buy, especially if you can pair them with a Walmart coupon . This is just the start of our holiday deals coverage. We've got a larger guide to the best early Black Friday deals and best Black Friday mattress deals . Featured Deals A Windows laptop priced like a Chromebook : Acer Aspire 3 Laptop (12th-Gen Intel, 2022) for $353 ($100 off) The best gaming headset for most: Logitech G Pro X 2 Gaming Headset for $99 ($30 off) A budget hair dryer we like: Hairitage Comin' In Hot Dryer for $30 ($10 off) Updated November 26: We've removed expired deals and added a handful of new deals on a hair dryer, a gaming headset, a fitness tracker, a security camera, a keyboard, and a stroller. Tech Deals Acer Aspire 3 Laptop (12th-Gen Intel, 2022) for $353 ($100 off) This deal beats last year’s Black Friday pricing by $70. After being a top pick for months, the Acer Aspire 3 is now honorably mentioned in our Cheap Laptops buying guide. It still has excellent value, with a big display and plenty of ports (including Ethernet, USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, and the elusive headphone jack). It’s also relatively lightweight when compared to similarly sized budget laptops. This model has an Intel Core i5 chip, integrated graphics, 8 GB of RAM, and a 15.6-inch IPS display. We wish that the speakers were louder and that the display was sharper, but if you’re on a tight budget, it’s hard to get more bang for your buck. You can also upgrade to the newer Acer Aspire 5 for beefier specs for $480 ($219 off), which beats last year's holiday pricing and gets you a nicer display and more RAM. Apple Watch Series 10 for $359 ($70 off) The recently released Apple Watch Series 10 ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is the Best Apple Watch money can buy. Thanks to this deal, it's a bit less money than usual. The discount may not seem stellar but this is the lowest price we've seen so far and it's unlikely to drop much further, if at all, during Black Friday. It unfortunately doesn't have blood oxygen sensing like previous models did, but it does have a bunch of fitness tracking features, and it can help gather data on other health stats like breathing disturbances, workout efficiency, and more. Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $29 ($20 off) Roku Black Friday deals are nothing new, but this is a good deal for the best Roku device and our favorite streaming stick overall. I recently swapped from Amazon's streaming ecosystem to a Roku device and I think it's a much better experience. There are lots of free channels to watch (including all of How It's Made , an American version of the Great British Baking Show , and tons of good Antiques Roadshow episodes). The interface is user-friendly and customizable, the remote is fast, and the plug-and-play setup couldn't be simpler. HyperX Cloud Alpha Wireless Gaming Headset for $150 ($50 off) This headset earned a rare 10/10 review from our tester, who claimed it was made with some sort of magic. That's because it has a whopping 300 hours of battery life—and sometimes even more in our testing. That's about 10 times the average. Of course, the sound quality is great and so is the comfort and fit. But perhaps most enticingly, you'll hardly ever need to charge it. This deal comes within $20 of the best price we've tracked and $10 of the deal we saw during Black Friday last year. Learn more and get additional recommendations in our Gaming Headset Buying Guide . JBL Clip 4 Wireless Bluetooth Speaker for $40 ($35 off) This deal was slightly cheaper earlier in the week, but we still think it's a solid discount, and most of the seven available colors are on sale for this price or a bit lower right now. This punchy little speaker is the slightly older version of one of our favorites . It’s water- and dust-resistant, and the built-in carabiner makes it easy to clip onto a backpack or stroller. The small size also makes it perfect for kids . The battery lasts for around 10 hours per charge, and the sound quality is surprisingly full despite the speaker’s miniature footprint. Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones for $298 ($101 off) The unfortunately named Sony WH-1000XM5 ( 9/10, WIRED Recommends ) remain our very favorite wireless headphones out of the hundreds we’ve tested. At $298 this deal matches the best deal we’ve seen on them, and last year’s Black Friday sales only dropped them to $328. They have excellent sound quality, a whopping 30 hours of battery life, great noise canceling, and a swanky design. The comfortable fit and intuitive onboard controls round out the listening experience. Samsung QN900C 65-Inch 8K QLED TV for $2,789 ($2,202 off) This beats last year's Black Friday discount by $500. The QN900C ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is undeniably expensive, but this is one of the best deals we've tracked. It's gorgeous and has exquisitely detailed, clear video quality, with deep blacks, vivid colors, and some of the smoothest motion processing you'll see. It can handle up to 8K resolution, too. Logitech G Pro X 2 Gaming Headset for $99 ($30 off) This is the best gaming headset for most people. The wireless headset is ultra-fast with low latency, but you can also choose to rock it wired with a 3.5-mm connection. Expect high-quality sound, clear mic communications, and a comfortable fit. We already like the affordable pricing, but thanks to Black Friday, this headset is even more attainable. Arlo Essential Indoor Security Camera for $19 ($21 off) This compact little camera is one of the best indoor security cameras on the market. You can place it on a shelf or mount it to the wall, and there's a built-in privacy shutter for added peace of mind. The detailed 1080p footage is stored in the cloud, so long as you shell out $8 per month for the Arlo Secure subscription. Other features include a built-in siren, motion detection alerts, and two-way communication. Fitbit Inspire 3 for $70 ($30 off) A couple of colors are on sale for this price. The Fitbit Inspire 3 is our favorite budget fitness tracker . If you're looking for a simple, stylish model that has basic capabilities, this is a good and cheap option. It'll track steps, sleep, and SpO2 levels, and it'll let you know when someone is calling. It's a good time to pick one up if you've got some health-related goals looming this January. Razer Huntsman Mini for $70 ($30 off) The Razer Huntsman Mini is the best small keyboard . The 60 percent design gets rid of the numpad and arrow keys, making this a solid pick for gaming or especially tiny spaces. We appreciate the quick, responsive keys, and if you want to change up their look, the keyboard is compatible with Razer's keycap kits . Home Deals Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker for $149 ($50 off) Beating Black Friday prices by $20, this is a solid deal on the Ninja Creami ( 6/10, WIRED Review ), as seen in our gift guide of the Best Viral TikTok Gadgets . If you’re interested in making sorbet, gelato, and sundaes at home, this little countertop appliance will get the job done. A few recipes are included though you can find oodles more online (or in the company’s $17 cookbook , which we firmly believe should be included for free). The Ninja Creami takes some trial and error, but once you get the hang of it, you can whip up your own creations to have a freezer full of goodness all the time. Just be prepared to relinquish some counter space. K eurig K-Slim + Iced Single-Serve Coffee Maker for $81 ($50 off) I have tested the sold-out Green Day special edition of this Keurig, which I was sent as part of the promotion of the band's Punk Bunny coffee line that includes bagged beans as well as K-cups . While I'm not going to replace my Chemex with it, there's a lot to be said for the convenience. Fill the water reservoir once every few days, load up a cup, and press one button. What separates this device from others in the Keurig line is the ability to make iced-ish coffee, which comes out significantly cooler than the regular brew and will make a passable iced coffee when poured over ice and sweetened. This blue version is on a steep discount and would make a great gift for someone who doesn't want to fuss over their coffee and wants lots of options in flavor—I mostly use mine to make hot cocoa for my daughter now. —Martin Cizmar KitchenAid Deluxe 4.5-Quart Mixer for $259 ($100 off) This is a match of the discount we saw last Black Friday. This tilt-head model isn't the most powerful KitchenAid mixer, but it'll still make baking holiday cookies a breeze and has plenty enough strength to knead dough, whip your egg whites, and make a perfectly silky buttercream. It's on sale in a lot of different fun colors. Dyson V12 Detect Slim Cordless Vacuum for $400 ($250 off) The Dyson V12 Detect Slim ( 8/10, WIRED Recommends ) is our favorite Dyson vacuum for small spaces. This is one of the best prices we've seen for this svelte dust-sucker, which is lightweight, easy to maneuver, and overall user-friendly. There's a single power button and an array of attachments are included for specific tasks like stairs or crevices. This vacuum also has the neat neon-green laser that shines a spotlight on any dust you might have otherwise missed while cleaning. The Pioneer Woman 12-Piece Dinnerware Set for $25 ($25 off) I've used many items from The Pioneer Woman's cookware line and I've always found the products to be beautiful, durable, and well made. This would make an excellent gift for a young adult just getting settled into their first place. The set includes four each of dinner plates, salad plates, and bowls. Everything is dishwasher- and microwave-safe. Deals on Everything Else Hairitage Comin' In Hot Dryer for $30 ($10 off) We recommend this hair dryer as a solid budget pick. We like the affordable price tag, plus its pretty, compact, and lightweight design. It comes with a concentrator nozzle, though you can separately purchase a diffuser attachment for cheap. If you just need a reliable hair dryer, this is a great option, especially for this price. Walmart+ One-Year Membership for $49 ($49 off) This offer is available for new, expired, monthly, and trial Walmart+ members. Walmart+ usually costs $98 per year, but right now it’s down to $49 for the first year. It automatically renews, so set a reminder to cancel if you don’t want to pay full price. But Walmart+ members get early access to Black Friday deals and other special sales, free grocery delivery, free shipping online with no order minimum, and more. You can learn more here . Delta Children Icon Travel Stroller for $120 ($80 off) This made our list of the best travel strollers as the top budget pick. It's a little on the short side, but it's lightweight, TSA-approved, and even comes with a cupholder. It doesn't have any car seat adapters, but for the price, it's hard to find a more well-rounded travel stroller with this many features. We like the padded seat and the fact that the belly bar doubles as a handle.
The state government will launch a parliamentary inquiry into regional housing supply as it steps up its effort to tackle the crisis in country Victoria. or signup to continue reading Leader of the House and Macedon MP Mary-Anne Thomas will give notice of a motion to establish the inquiry on November 27. Premier Jacinta Allan to tackle the housing crisis in October, but no new policies to specifically tackle the issue in the regions. A government spokesperson said the new inquiry would find out what kind of housing country Victorians needed, and how it could best be delivered. Ms Thomas's motion said the inquiry would "get regional MPs out into the communities talking about housing for the next 12 months". It will report back by December 15 2025. An ACM investigation revealed the government's Big Housing Build had already allocated more than its promised $1.25 billion investment to regional Victoria. But it also showed the program was to increase the state's social housing stock by 10 per cent. For every two houses built under the Big Build, the government was having to demolish or sell one, and in regional Victoria the increase in housing was lagging well behind the number of new houses. The government has also started rolling out a $1 billion Regional Housing Fund. under the program, but the 1300 figure now comprises at least 500 existing Homes Victoria dwellings that were previously uninhabitable. A government spokesperson said a key part of the inquiry would be assessing the delivery of the Big Build and Regional Housing Fund to ensure they were providing the promised benefits. It will also investigate the cost of building houses under the programs. The cost per house under the Big Build in regional Victoria ranged from $350,877 in Wangaratta, to $439,024 in Warrnambool. But the 1300 new and "upgraded" houses under the Regional Housing Fund will cost about $770,000 each. The inquiry will be done by the Legislative Assembly's Environment and Planning Committee, chaired by Wendouree MP Juliana Addison. Every regional MP will be expected to build a picture of the housing need in their district, including the ideal mix of social and affordable dwellings. But the inquiry will also explore efficient and innovative building methods, including whether modular and prefabricated housing could improve the amenity of an area quickly and cost-effectively. Another focus will be the need for smaller dwellings compared to three and four-bedroom homes, and whether apartments could efficiently fill the housing need in larger cities. The government's suite of housing announcements in October included cuts to red tape and stamp duty, as well as a plan to force developers to contribute their fair share to local infrastructure. Developers face . In south-west Victoria, councils like Warrnambool City and Moyne Shire have been forced to create their own key worker housing because planning challenges and a lack of developer interest have made new developments rare. In Ballarat, some growth areas have sat in activation limbo while other potential housing areas remain undeveloped because crucial infrastructure is lagging five or 10 years behind housing demand. A government spokesperson said the inquiry would seek input from developers to find out what changes would help them build more housing more quickly in regional areas. The government has also opened a second round of its Regional Worker Accommodation Fund, which offers grants from $150,000 to $5 million to businesses, councils, or community groups to deliver key worker housing. The first round stimulated $250 million in public-private investment for "shovel-ready" regional housing projects. Ms Allan - whose hometown of Bendigo faces one of the biggest housing shortfalls in the state - said the government wanted to give "more families the opportunities they deserve to live in the communities they love".
