Before the 2023 National Football League season started, it seemed inevitable that Bill Belichick would end his career as the winningest head coach in league history. He had won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and 298 regular-season games, plus 31 playoff games, across his career. Then the 2023 season happened. Belichick's Patriots finished 4-13, the franchise's worst record since 1992. At the end of the year, Belichick and New England owner Robert Kraft agreed to part ways. And now, during the 2024 season, Belichick is on the sideline. He's 26 wins from the #1 spot, a mark he'd reach in little more than two seasons if he maintained his .647 career winning percentage. Will he ascend the summit? It's hard to tell. Belichick would be 73 if he graced the sidelines next season—meaning he'd need to coach until at least 75 to break the all-time mark. Only one other NFL coach has ever helmed a team at age 73: Romeo Crennel in 2020 for the Houston Texans. With Belichick's pursuit of history stalled, it's worth glancing at the legends who have reached the pinnacle of coaching success. Who else stands among the 10 winningest coaches in NFL history? Stacker ranked the coaches with the most all-time regular-season wins using data from Pro Football Reference . These coaches have combined for 36 league championships, which represents 31.6% of all championships won throughout the history of pro football. To learn who made the list, keep reading.

In a decisive victory, ex-president John Dramani Mahama has been announced as the winner of Ghana's presidential election, securing 56.55% of the vote. His main opponent, Mahamudu Bawumia, conceded defeat on Sunday, acknowledging the public's desire for change. The electoral commission reported that votes were processed from 267 out of 276 constituencies, with a notable 60.9% voter turnout. Mahama, aged 66, who previously led Ghana from 2012 to 2016, criticized Bawumia's platform as a continuation of policies that have resulted in the country's worst economic challenge in decades. Addressing supporters, Mahama emphasized the need to meet public aspirations and avoid governance arrogance. Committing to significant reforms, Mahama plans to renegotiate the $3-billion IMF bailout, reform tax systems, ease business regulations, and invest in infrastructure to revitalize Ghana's economy.

Indiaspora expressed its unequivocal support for Krishnan, stating, “There is absolutely no room for racially motivated attacks in our discussions.

Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna also came to Krishnan’s defense, criticizing those who targeted him over his Indian heritage. Khanna highlighted that the ability of the United States to attract top global talent is what sets it apart, emphasizing that American exceptionalism is evident in the diverse backgrounds of leaders like Krishnan. Khanna pointed out that those criticizing Krishnan for being born in India should reconsider their stance, citing the successful careers of figures like Elon Musk (South Africa) and Jensen Huang (Taiwan). Krishnan, who was nominated by Trump as Senior Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, brings impressive credentials to the role. His career began at Microsoft as a founding member of Windows Azure, and he later served as a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz. Krishnan has invested in numerous companies, including SpaceX, Figma, and Scale.ai, and has held leadership positions at Meta, X, and Microsoft. In his response to the appointment, Krishnan expressed gratitude, saying, “I’m honored to serve the country and contribute to ensuring continued American leadership in AI, working closely with David Sacks. Thank you, President Trump, for this opportunity.” As part of his new role, Krishnan will focus on strengthening U.S. leadership in AI and collaborating with the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. He will work closely with David Sacks to shape and coordinate AI policies across government sectors. ALSO READ: The Imminent Threat of World War III: Athos Salomé’s Chilling Predictions

CARLSBAD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 21, 2024-- Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. (NYSE American and TASE: LCTX), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing allogeneic cell therapies for unmet medical needs, today announced the first closing of its previously announced registered direct offering for the purchase and sale of up to an aggregate of 39,473,688 of Lineage’s common shares and accompanying warrants (the “common warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of up to 39,473,688 of Lineage’s common shares at a combined purchase price of $0.76 per common share and accompanying common warrant. Lineage issued an aggregate of 31,578,951 common shares and common warrants to purchase up to 31,578,951 common shares to certain healthcare focused institutional investors in the first closing. Each common warrant will be exercisable for one common share at an exercise price of $0.91 per common share and will be exercisable commencing six months following their date of issuance and will expire on the earlier of (a) the three-year anniversary of the initial exercise date, and (b) the 90th day following the date of the public disclosure of the intent to advance OpRegen ® (also known as RG6501) into a multi-center phase 2 or 3 clinical trial which includes a control or comparator arm, or if the date of such public disclosure occurs prior to the initial exercise date of the common warrants, the 90th day following the initial exercise date. H.C. Wainwright & Co. served as the exclusive placement agent for the offering. The offering of the securities to Broadwood Partners, L.P. (“Broadwood”), an affiliate of Neal Bradsher, a member of Lineage’s board of directors, is expected to close upon obtaining shareholder approval to satisfy applicable NYSE American rules and to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The common warrants that may be issued to Broadwood pursuant to the definitive purchase agreement entered into between Lineage and Broadwood will not be exercisable until the later of (i) their date of issuance, which will be the date shareholder approval is obtained, and (ii) the six-month anniversary of the date of issuance of the common warrants to the unaffiliated institutional investors in the offering. Lineage received $24 million in aggregate gross proceeds in the first closing of the offering, which was with respect to the investments by the unaffiliated institutional investors, and expects to receive approximately $6 million in additional gross proceeds from the offering with respect to the investment by Broadwood, in each case, before deducting the placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses payable by Lineage. The potential additional gross proceeds to Lineage from the common warrants, if fully exercised on a cash basis, will be approximately $36 million. No assurance can be given that Lineage will obtain the shareholder approval required to satisfy applicable NYSE American rules in order to sell the securities in the offering to Broadwood or that any of the common warrants will be exercised. Lineage currently plans to use the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including research and development expenses and capital expenditures. The securities described above were offered and sold by Lineage in a registered direct offering pursuant to a “shelf” registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-277758) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 7, 2024, and which was declared effective by the SEC on May 14, 2024. The offering of the securities in the registered direct offering was made only by means of a base prospectus and a prospectus supplement that forms a part of the effective registration statement. A final prospectus supplement and the accompanying base prospectus relating to the offering were filed with the SEC and are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov .

About Lineage Cell Therapeutics, Inc. Lineage Cell Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing novel, “off-the-shelf,” cell therapies to address unmet medical needs. Lineage’s programs are based on its proprietary cell-based technology platform and associated development and manufacturing capabilities. From this platform, Lineage designs, develops, manufactures, and tests specialized human cells with anatomical and physiological functions similar or identical to cells found naturally in the human body. These cells are created by applying directed differentiation protocols to established, well-characterized, and self-renewing pluripotent cell lines. These protocols generate cells with characteristics associated with specific and desired developmental lineages. Cells derived from such lineages are transplanted into patients in an effort to replace or support cells that are absent or dysfunctional due to degenerative disease, aging, or traumatic injury, and to restore or augment the patient’s functional activity. Lineage’s neuroscience focused pipeline currently includes: (i) OpRegen, a retinal pigment epithelial cell therapy in Phase 2a development under a worldwide collaboration with Roche and Genentech, a member of the Roche Group, for the treatment of geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration; (ii) OPC1, an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell therapy in Phase 1/2a development for the treatment of spinal cord injuries; (iii) ReSonanceTM (ANP1), an auditory neuronal progenitor cell therapy for the potential treatment of auditory neuropathy; (iv) PNC1, a photoreceptor neural cell therapy for the potential treatment of vision loss due to photoreceptor dysfunction or damage; and (v) RND1, a novel hypoimmune induced pluripotent stem cell line being developed in collaboration with Factor Bioscience Limited.

McDonald's mavens are green with envy over a Grinch Happy Meal that's not available in the U.S. McDonald's is offering a holiday-themed Grinch Happy Meal in the U.K. and Ireland through Dec. 31 or while supplies last. Served in a carrying box with the face of the Grinch wearing a Santa hat, the meal comes with trading cards and a plush toy of the Grinch or the dog Max from the classic holiday cartoon "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." And – how could it be so? – there are no plans to bring the Grinch Happy Meal to the U.S. at this time, McDonald's said in a statement to USA TODAY. McDonald's is running TV commercials promoting the meal overseas, and they are also posted on the restaurant's YouTube channels for the U.K. and Ireland . McDonald's: Fast food chain temporarily removes espresso drinks from menus amid reported machine issue Here in the U.S. starting Nov. 26, McDonald's is offering a new Pet Simulator Happy Meal , which comes with two Pet Simulator toys, one for your child and a gift-wrapped toy they can gift to a friend. Could the Grinch Happy Meal come to the US? Never say never. Even though McDonald's said the special Happy Meal is not coming to the U.S. now, that doesn't mean it may not in the future. For instance, last month, the McRib sandwich hit restaurants in the U.K . for a limited time – its first appearance there since 2016. Now, the McRib is returning to the U.S. at participating restaurants nationwide starting Dec. 3 for a limited time. And the Squishmallow Happy Meals offered during the 2023 holiday season here in the U.S. were offered first in the U,K. and Ireland . Based on social media responses, the Grinch Happy Meal would be a hit here in the U.S. as many online are saying "Boo Hoo" about missing out on the meal this holiday season. While you can't get the Happy Meal here, you can participate in some Grinch-related holiday activities found on the McDonald's international sites for the U.K. and Ireland .

Reports: Bill Belichick interviews for North Carolina jobHe had been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer earlier this year. Mr Gormley’s brother Damian confirmed the news on social media on Monday evening. "It is with profound sadness that I announce my brother Jody passed away peacefully this evening,” he said. His club Trillick St Macartans posted an emotional tribute on their Facebook page, saying the entire community was “devastated”. "The words cannot describe the heartache our club is feeling right now,” said a spokesperson. "Jody was a true red from a young age, playing from underage to senior level. To then managing our senior team to an historical double in 2023. "Jody played for our club from a young age and has been involved in a number of teams throughout his playing career. “He played for Tyrone and won a number of accolades including two u21 All Irelands in 1991 and 1992. “Jody played in the famous 1995 All-Ireland final and scored the only other point bar Peter Canavan’s scores. “Jody was one of a kind and when returned to Trillick brought an aura with him like no other. “Throughout his time with Trillick as player and more recently as a manager he has made an impression on everyone - coaches, players and club members of all levels in a short period of time. "A lot of people will have learnt a lot from him and how to hold themselves. Jody truly is an inspiration, forever our hero and forever a red. "Our most sincere and heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with Jody’s family, his wife Deidre, daughters Áine and Niamh and son James. His mother Shiela, brothers Damian and Eoin and sister Anita.” The Abbey CBS teacher managed the Newry school to its first MacRory Cup title in 19 years back in 2006, finishing the season with a national Hogan Cup title. He managed his club to their ninth Tyrone senior football championship title last year, as well as winning the Tyrone senior league in 2022 and 2023. Jody also took charge at senior intercounty level with Down and Antrim, winning the Tommy Murphy Cup with the latter in 2008. Following his diagnosis, Mr Gormley said he had “no fear whatsoever of dying”. He told the BBC GAA Social Podcast that he “felt blessed his entire life” and spoke of the impact the diagnosis had on his family, reflecting that it was “probably tougher on the family than me”. Podcast host Thomas Niblock paid tribute to Mr Gormley following his death. "Jody Gormley died this evening. Life is so unfair,” he posted on X. "I hope his family can take some comfort, in knowing that he was stunning human being. He was the best of us.” News of his death has led to an outpouring of grief and tributes on social media. First Minister Michelle O’Neill said she was “deeply saddened”. "Throughout his illness, Jody showed incredible strength, courage, and resilience,” she said. “His empowering words will continue to inspire and help so many others as they navigate their own battles in life. "My thoughts are with his family and his many friends throughout the GAA.” Crossmaglen Rangers, who faced Mr Gormley's Trillick side in last year’s Ulster Club championship, also offered their condolences. "Cross Rangers are saddened to learn of the untimely passing of Jody Gormley,” said a spokesperson. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the Gormley family, fellow Gaels in Trillick GAA and Tyrone GAA and colleagues and students at Abbey CBS. "Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.” Broadcaster Lynette Fay was also among those paying tribute to Mr Gormley online. "So, so sorry to hear this. Love to Jody Gormley’s family and friends,” she said. "Tá laoch ar lár (A hero is gone).”
