ComEd Restoring Power in Wake of Thunderstorms, Second Round of Severe Storms in Three Days

ComEd Restoring Power in Wake of Thunderstorms, Second Round of Severe Storms in Three Days

 

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ComEd crews are working to restore power to more than 370,000 customers in the wake of a dangerous line of thunderstorms that swept through northern Illinois this morning — just hours after ComEd had completed restoration of service to customers impacted by a severe storm on Sunday. Wind gusts of up to 96 MPH — and potential tornadoes — downed trees, power lines and utility poles throughout ComEd’s northern Illinois region. Currently, there are more than 257,000 customers without electric service. Based on current conditions, ComEd estimates that approximately 80% of outages will be restored by noon on Aug. 13 and approximately 99% by 11 p.m. on Aug. 15.

“Nearly 3,000 ComEd employees and contractors are in the field assessing damage, repairing equipment and restoring service as safely and quickly as possible. While crews and equipment, including poles, cable wire and transformers were pre-positioned ahead of the storm, damage across the region is extensive,” said David Perez, ComEd’s executive vice president and COO.

The largest impacts from Tuesday’s storms were concentrated in ComEd’s south region, where crews are dealing with downed trees, broken poles, and damaged power lines requiring extensive repairs. Hardest-hit areas include Homewood, Chicago Heights, Lansing and Joliet, among others. The National Weather Service is forecasting another round of storms for the ComEd region on Wednesday.

Restoration Priorities

ComEd crews work on restoring power to customers in the following order:

  • Downed live wires or potentially life-threatening situations. High-voltage transmission lines and equipment, to restore service to the largest number of affected customers.

  • Critical public health and safety facilities, like hospitals, police and fire stations, and water treatment plants.

  • Major distribution lines and high-density housing.

  • ​Any remaining smaller neighborhoods and individual homes that have not been restored by prior repair activities.

Historic Summer Storm Season

The August 9-11 storms mark the 19th major weather event affecting ComEd customers in 2026 — the highest number in more than two decades. Illinois has now recorded more tornadoes this year than any other state in the country. ComEd’s continued investments in grid modernization and smart grid technology have helped avoid millions of potential outages over the past decade and strengthened the company’s ability to respond quickly when severe weather strikes.

Stay Safe

Public safety is paramount, and ComEd encourages customers to take the following precautions:

  • If a downed power line is spotted, immediately call ComEd at 1-800-EDISON1 (1-800-334-7661). Spanish-speaking customers should call 1-800-95-LUCES (1-800-955-8237).

  • Never approach a downed power line. Always assume a power line is energized and extremely dangerous.

  • In the event of an outage, do not approach ComEd crews working to restore power to ask about restoration times. Crews may be working on live electrical equipment, and the perimeter of the work zone may be hazardous.

  • For the latest outage and restoration information, visit: ComEd.com/OutageMap.

ComEd urges customers to contact the company immediately if they experience a power outage. Customers can text OUT to 26633 (COMED) to report an outage and receive restoration information and follow the company on X @ComEd or on Facebook at Facebook.com/ComEd. Customers can also call 1-800 EDISON1 (1-800-334-7661), or report outages via the website at ComEd.com/report. Spanish-speaking customers should call 1-800-95-LUCES (1-800-955-8237).

Anteris Technologies Announces Results for the Second Quarter of 2026

MINNEAPOLIS and BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Anteris Technologies Global Corp. (“Anteris” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AVR, ASX: AVR) a global healthcare company committed to designing, developing, and commercializing cutting-edge medical devices to restore healthy heart function, today reported financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, and provided a corporate update.

Q2 2026 Highlights

  • Secured U.S. Medicare reimbursement eligibility for the global pivotal PARADIGM Trial under a Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) national coverage policy, enabling reimbursement for eligible procedures at U.S. sites.
  • Initiated U.S. recruitment in the PARADIGM Trial, with the first U.S. patients enrolled and treated in May 2026.
  • Expanded the PARADIGM Trial, with active recruitment underway in the U.S., Denmark and the Netherlands, and obtained regulatory clearance in Canada and France.
  • Appointed Ms. Susan Knight and Mr. Stephen Denaro to the Board of Directors, broadening governance, financial and public company leadership as the Company advances the DurAVR® THV toward commercialization.
  • Presented clinical and scientific progress at New York Valves 2026, including a symposium, innovation session feature, and pre-recorded live case presentation highlighting clinical experience with the DurAVR® THV. The symposium recording is available on the Company’s website under the News section.

“Q2 marked an important period of execution for Anteris as we advanced the PARADIGM Trial across clinical, regulatory and reimbursement milestones. During the quarter, we secured U.S. Medicare reimbursement for eligible procedures, initiated U.S. recruitment in the PARADIGM Trial, expanded active recruitment across key geographies and showcased growing clinical experience with DurAVR® at New York Valves, a leading structural heart conference. These achievements, together with the continued strengthening of our Board, support our progress toward commercialization and our commitment to improving outcomes for patients with severe aortic stenosis,” said Wayne Paterson, Vice Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Anteris.

Business & Operations

During the quarter, we continued to advance execution of the global pivotal PARADIGM Trial across active European sites and commenced patient enrollment in the United States.

Clinical centers are progressing through key start-up milestones, including ethics and regulatory approvals, site initiation visits and investigator training, alongside patient screening and enrollment at activated sites. This includes selected Australian sites, which are progressing through initial start-up documentation, with activation and patient recruitment to follow subject to ethics committee approval at each site.

In the United States, the CMS coverage determination represented a key execution milestone for the PARADIGM Trial, providing the reimbursement framework required to support patient enrollment and broader site-level adoption. Eligible procedures performed at participating U.S. study sites are covered under the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) National Coverage Determination 20.32.

With this reimbursement framework now in place, we expect U.S. site activation and patient recruitment activities to continue advancing as additional centers begin contributing to trial execution.

Financial Results

The financial results for Anteris for the quarter ended June 30, 2026, are presented below. All amounts in $ refer to U.S. dollars.

The Company’s net operating cash outflows for the three months ended June 30, 2026 were $20.8 million, primarily attributable to clinical, regulatory and manufacturing requirements to support the PARADIGM Trial. Operating expenditures reflected the phased execution of the clinical program during the quarter, including the timing of U.S. site activation activities following receipt of the CMS coverage determination in April 2026. R&D expenses of $23.4 million were driven by the scaling of manufacturing and quality capabilities, including process development and validation activities and expanded headcount, together with PARADIGM trial related activities, including clinical costs associated with patient enrollment and the scaling of our field-based clinical team. These costs were partly offset by reduced DurAVR® THV product research costs.

Please see the detailed financial information contained in Anteris’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

About the PARADIGM Trial

The PARADIGM Trial is a prospective randomized controlled trial which will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the DurAVR® Transcatheter Heart Valve (“THV”) compared to commercially available transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVRs).

This head-to-head study will enroll approximately 1,000 patients in the ‘All Comers Randomized Cohort’ with 1:1 randomization of patients who will receive either the DurAVR® THV or TAVR using commercially available and approved THVs. The PARADIGM Trial will assess non-inferiority on a primary composite endpoint of all-cause mortality, all stroke and cardiovascular hospitalization at one year post procedure.

For further information, please refer to ClinicalTrials.gov NCT07194265.

Verizon announces a $25,000 reward program to protect communities from network vandalism

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Verizon today announced a $25,000 reward program for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals involved in vandalism that have cut off thousands of Verizon customers from critical wireless and wireline communications services.

Over the past several days, vandals cut multiple fiber cables causing service interruptions for customers in Los Angeles and parts of Southern California. Acts of network theft and vandalism represent a direct threat to the safety and security of our communities, emergency services, healthcare and all who rely on critical communications. Vandals also put their own lives at risk when perpetrating these crimes. 

“These are criminal acts, affecting people’s safety and are putting lives at risk,” said Vandana Venkatesh, Verizon’s chief legal officer. “We are actively investigating several recent incidents and are pursuing all avenues to assist law enforcement in finding and convicting the perpetrators of these acts.” 

According to industry data, California is at particular risk for vandalism – when it comes to the economic impact of these outages, the state saw the largest losses at $252.6M:

  • California and Texas account for more than half of all reported incidents.
  • California is the hardest hit state with 6,297 attacks in 2025 and with Los Angeles in particular experiencing 1,131 incidents.

It’s not just California, nationwide, the industry deals with thousands of incidents of vandalism of cables each year. Verizon stands committed to protecting America’s infrastructure.

“Across the country, people rely on us for critical connectivity 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,” said Joe Russo, EVP & President of Global Networks and Technology, “Our network and security teams are working with law enforcement at all levels in tracking down the perpetrators and bringing these egregious acts to an end.  This must stop because our communities should not be put at risk by thieves who vandalize or steal cables.”

The company is offering rewards of $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of individuals who intentionally damage Verizon equipment. Anyone witnessing vandalism should call 911 and then contact Verizon’s Security department at 1-800-997-3287.

This announcement was originally published by Verizon. Read the original press release.

Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ) powers and empowers how its millions of customers live, work and play, delivering on their demand for mobility, reliable network connectivity and security.

Walker & Dunlop Arranges $147.5 Million Debt and Equity Capitalization for Mixed-Use Development in Port Chester

Walker & Dunlop Arranges $147.5 Million Debt and Equity Capitalization for Mixed-Use Development in Port Chester

BETHESDA, Md.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Walker & Dunlop, Inc. announced today that it has arranged $147.5 million in debt and equity capitalization for the construction of 2 South Main, a landmark multi-family residence in downtown Port Chester, New York. Hyperion Group and Co-Developer AIP, working with general contractor LRC Construction, will deliver a 12-story, 355,000-square-foot building with 322 residences, state-of-the-art amenities, 330 parking spaces and 5,000 square-feet of retail.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260811803095/en/

Walker & Dunlop Capital Markets served as exclusive advisor to the sponsorship group, a joint venture between Hyperion, Winter Properties, and AIP. Mo Beler, Jonathan Paine, Cory Elbaum, Jackson Irwin, and Dawson Jessee arranged the equity investment from Related Fund Management, while Aaron Appel, Jonathan Schwartz, Adam Schwartz, Keith Kurland, Dustin Stolly, Sean Reimer, Jordan Casella, Christopher de Raet, and Stanley Cayre secured construction financing from Arbor Realty Trust. The project is in an Opportunity Zone and also benefits from a 20-year PILOT agreement through the Port Chester Industrial Development Agency (IDA).

“The successful capitalization of 2 South Main demonstrates the continued demand for well-conceived housing developments that meet both market needs and community priorities,” said Beler, senior managing director of Capital Markets and co-head of Equity & Structured Finance at Walker & Dunlop. “We structured and sourced the project’s construction financing and equity investment while leveraging public-sector incentives. This enabled us to deliver a comprehensive capital solution that positions the development for long-term success and supports the continued growth of downtown Port Chester.”

Hyperion Principal and CEO Robert Vecsler stated, “We are delighted to bring this best-in-class residential community to the most desirable location in the heart of Port Chester, New York.” Vecsler further noted, “2 South Main continues Hyperion’s strategy to identify urban-adjacent residential locations with independent economic and demand drivers. 2 South Main will set the standard for the residential experience in this market, offering state-of-the-art amenities and finishes, walkability to local shops, restaurants and entertainment, and proximity to the Metro-North Station, Westchester employment centers, as well as neighboring cities Rye and Greenwich.”

Located along the Byram River at the Connecticut border, Port Chester is a well-connected Westchester County community with direct Metro-North access to Manhattan. Once a 19th-century manufacturing and port town, it has undergone significant transformation, supported by its cuisine, music, and urban scale intimacy.

“It is an honor to build alongside such an exceptional best-in-class partnership and to help carry forward Port Chester’s strategic downtown vision,” said Scott Allen, founder and CEO of AIP. “2 South Main isn’t merely a building, it is a new front door and a new future for Liberty Square. Central to AIP’s endeavors are the people and the futures we help shape and 2 South main reflects that: it expands walkability, breathes new life into the street below, elevates urban living, and strengthens connectivity through thoughtful, sustainably focused development.”

The evolution has been supported by deliberate public investment and thoughtful planning. The Village of Port Chester and New York State have prioritized the revitalization of the downtown and waterfront, including the 120 acres surrounding the train station for redevelopment. A form-based zoning code adopted in 2020 established the framework for a transit-oriented development and a more connected, walkable community along the Byram River.

“Arbor Realty Trust is proud to provide construction financing for 2 South Main, a big step forward for a New York neighborhood, through our active and growing Arbor Private Construction (APC) lending program,” said David E. Friedman, executive vice president, chief credit officer, Non-Agency, and head of APC. “The landmark multifamily residence will create hundreds of housing units and advance Arbor’s commitment to enhancing the rental supply in communities across the United States.”

Residents of 2 South Main will enjoy Class-A unrivaled amenities, and with a location adjacent to the MTA Metro-North station Grand Central sits just 45-minutes away. Direct vehicular access to I-95 and I-287 allows access across Westchester County and major employment centers in Stamford, Greenwich, White Plains, and the broader New York metropolitan area. Situated in historic liberty square along Main Street, the property is surrounded by shops, restaurants, the marina, public waterfront park, the capitol theater, and AMC cinema. Rye Beach, fairways of Westchester Country clubs, and the trails of Edith G. Read Natural Park & Wildlife Sanctuary are also within minutes of the property. Construction is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

In 2025, Walker & Dunlop’s Capital Markets team sourced over $22 billion from non-Agency capital providers, including nearly $16 billion for multifamily properties. This vast experience has made them a top advisor on all asset classes for many of the industry’s top developers, owners, and operators.

WIX.COM LTD.
 CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT – COMPLAINT ALLEGATION SUMMARY: 

The complaint alleges that, throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, and/or failed to disclose material adverse facts about the company’s business, operations, and prospects.  Specifically, Defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Wix had overstated the competitiveness and performance of its AI product offerings relative to those offered by other companies; (2) Wix had understated the costs associated with developing and promoting its AI product offerings; (3) accordingly, Defendants overstated the commercial and financial benefits of Wix’s AI product offerings; and (4) as a result, Defendants’ positive statements about the company’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

Why did Wix’s Stock Drop?

After numerous drops in Wix’s stock price relating to the company reporting disappointing financial results below analysts’ expectations due to, among other things, the performance and competitiveness of Wix’s AI product offerings, the final drop occurred on May 13, 2026. On that day, Wix reported its financial results for the first quarter of 2026 and further disclosed earnings and revenue below consensus expectations, as well as a sharp decline in operating margins that it largely attributed to softness in its professional developer business.  On a related earnings call held the same day, Defendants acknowledged that Wix’s professional developer customers were using competing AI tools, that the company’s new Wix Harmony platform had “holes” and “missing capabilities,” that there had been delays in delivering product updates and innovation to professional developer customers, and that, as a result, Wix had fallen behind “the workflow and the needs of” professional developers.  On this news, Wix’s stock price fell $20.56 per share, or 27.1%, to close at $55.32 per share on May 13, 2026.

PITTSBURGH & CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

A MORNING FAVORITE, REIMAGINED

Coffee lovers are increasingly seeking unique flavor experiences, with 62% of consumers interested in trying new and adventurous coffee drinks.¹ Featuring Ziggi’s fan-favorite iced latte topped with Philadelphia cream cheese cold foam and finished with everything bagel seasoning, the Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte taps into this growing flavor curiosity. Combining the unmistakable, savory flavor of an everything bagel and cream cheese with a smooth touch of sweetness from the latte and cold foam, the Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is a deliciously unexpected take on a familiar morning favorite.

“The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is a fun way to showcase the versatility of our cream cheese while staying true to the flavor combination consumers already know and love,” said Traci Graziani, Head of Away From Home Brand & Trade Marketing for Philadelphia Cream Cheese. “For over 150 years, Philadelphia has brought creamy, delicious flavor to the foods people love most. Whether on a bagel, in a recipe or now in your morning coffee, Philadelphia continues to deliver the creamy taste that makes every bite—or sip—Really Philly Good.”

This new take on a morning classic is also a natural extension of what Ziggi’s already does best. The Everything Bagel Breakfast Sandwich is consistently one of the brand’s top-selling breakfast items and flavored iced lattes are the backbone of its coffee menu. For Ziggi’s, this partnership is also a chance to showcase something that sets the brand apart: its food. Rather than viewing food as a sideline, Ziggi’s has built an extensive food menu in the category – a full lineup of breakfast sandwiches, bakery items, handhelds, and snacks that guests come back for as much as the coffee. The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte brings that food-and-coffee philosophy to life in a single sip, built on the flavors Ziggi’s fans already love. It’s a natural fit for a brand where food and drink have always belonged together – and a fun new way to prove it.

“We’re always looking for partnerships that let us do something we haven’t done before – and this one took us further than any of them,” said Stacey Kane, Chief Strategic Projects & Partnerships, Ziggi’s Coffee. “Ziggi’s has done seasonal, we’ve done bold, but savory is a new territory for our drink lineup. Philadelphia was the right partner to get there with because this isn’t just a flavor mashup – it’s built on a bagel breakfast sandwich flavor our guests already love. That’s what makes this feel like a match made in breakfast heaven, and a drink that earns its moment.”

CREAM CHEESE IS MORE THAN JUST A SPREAD

As consumers continue to embrace cream cheese beyond its traditional role as a spread for bagels or toast, Philadelphia is finding new ways to showcase its versatility across cooking, baking, snacking — and now beverages. The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte demonstrates how a beloved ingredient can unlock new flavor experiences while staying true to the creamy taste fans know and love.

The Philadelphia Everything Bagel Latte is available from August 11 through August 17 at participating Ziggi’s Coffee locations nationwide while supplies last. Find a Ziggi’s location near you here or follow Philadelphia and Ziggi’s on Instagram for more information.
