Lincoln Tech Brings Career Training Opportunities to Levittown, PA

Philadelphia campus relocation allows for additional program options in a new, larger facility.

Parsippany, NJ, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lincoln Tech, a national leader in specialized technical training for 80 years, will officially mark the relocation of its Philadelphia campus to a new, expanded facility in Levittown on Friday, February13th. The move, resulting from months of planning and buildouts, allows for continuation of existing programs in Automotive Service Technology, and for the addition of new training options for several growing skilled trades fields. The Levittown campus will be inaugurated with a ceremony and ribbon cutting beginning at 10 a.m.

DATE:                           Friday, February 13th, 2026
TIME:                            10 a.m. – 12 p.m.
LOCATION:                  Lincoln Tech’s Levittown Campus
311 Veterans Highway
Levittown, PA 19056
EXPECTED GUESTS:  –    Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO

  • April Lupinacci, Levittown Campus President
  • Christopher Ruth, US Navy Veteran & Lincoln Tech Student
  • Frank Farry, Pennsylvania State Senator for District 6
  • Joe Hogan, Pennsylvania State Representative for District 142
  • Kristen Marcell, Pennsylvania State Representative for District 178
  • David Seckman, Executive Director or the Food Industry Technician Development Program
  • Francisco Galindo, Lincoln Tech’s AVP of Public Relations and Stakeholder Engagement

The new campus began welcoming students to class in August 2025. In addition to its Automotive program, Lincoln Tech now offers training to Philadelphia-area students in Electrical and Electronic Systems Technology (EEST), Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Technology, and Welding Technology. Pennsylvania is projected to add more than 87,000 positions in these fields and the automotive industry by 2032*. Guests and members of the media will have the opportunity to tour the campus following the ribbon-cutting and see the training facilities for these programs firsthand.

“Employers in the immediate Philadelphia area, across the state of Pennsylvania, and even across the Delaware River in southern New Jersey consistently talk about a need for candidates with specialized technical skills,” says Scott Shaw, Lincoln Tech’s President and CEO. “While our focus here in the Philadelphia area had been exclusively automotive and transportation, we’re excited to now have the capacity to train essential workers in the electrical, HVAC and welding industries as well.”

The new location at 311 Veterans Highway in Levittown is just 15 minutes north of the Philadelphia campus. Lincoln Tech had provided career training at that campus for more than 60 years, part of the organization’s history of 80 years serving students and employers nationwide.

The Levittown campus is a 90,000-square foot facility which can accommodate more than twice as many students as the previous Philadelphia campus. The campus is conveniently located at Exit 3 of Interstate 295. Nearly $13 million was invested in the buildout of the new location, including construction of classroom space and auto bays, welding booths, and HVAC and electrical training structures.

* Career growth projections can be found at onetonline.org for the years 2022-2032 and are current as of February 10, 2026..

Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. Securities Class Action Lawsuit Filed; Lead Plaintiff Deadline April 6, 2026 – RGRD Law

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 11, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — A securities class action lawsuit has been filed against Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc. (NasdaqGS: RARE) on behalf of purchasers or acquirers of Ultragenyx common stock between August 3, 2023 and December 26, 2025, inclusive (the “Class Period”). Captioned Bailey v. Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc., No. 26-cv-01097 (N.D. Cal.), the Ultragenyx class action lawsuit charges Ultragenyx as well as certain of Ultragenyx’ top executives with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Investors who purchased Ultragenyx common stock during the Class Period have until April 6, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the action. To learn more, visit the following page:

.

CASE ALLEGATIONS: Ultragenyx is a biopharmaceutical company that focuses on the identification, acquisition, development, and commercialization of novel products for the treatment of rare and ultra-rare genetic diseases.

The Ultragenyx class action lawsuit alleges that defendants throughout the Class Period made false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (i) defendants created the false impression that they possessed reliable information pertaining to the effects of setrusumab on patients with variable types of Osteogenesis Imperfecta (“OI”), while also minimizing risk that patients in Ultragenyx’ Phase III Orbit study would fail to achieve a statistically significant reduction in annualized fracture rate (“AFR”), such that the second interim analysis could be performed and presented to the investing public; and (ii) in truth, Ultragenyx’ optimism in the Phase III Orbit study’s results and interim analysis benchmark were misplaced because Ultragenyx failed to convey the risk associated with basing such threshold figures on Phase II results that had no placebo control group for appropriate comparison and thus had not ruled out that the reduction in AFR from that study could merely be triggered by an increased standard of care and the placebo effect of being provided a novel treatment.

The Ultragenyx class action lawsuit further alleges that on July 9, 2025, Ultragenyx revealed that the Phase III Orbit study failed to achieve statistical significance for the second interim analysis and that Phase III Orbit and Cosmic studies would now be “progressing toward final analysis.” On this news, the price of Ultragenyx stock fell more than 25%, according to the complaint.

Then, on December 29, 2025, Ultragenyx announced that both its Phase III Orbit and Cosmic Studies had not “achieved statistical significance against the primary endpoints of reduction in annualized clinical fracture rate compared to placebo or bisphosphonates, respectively.” Ultragenyx allegedly attributed the study failure to a “low fracture rate in the placebo group” of Orbit and a trend that fell shy of statistical significance in Cosmic. On this news, the price of Ultragenyx stock fell more than 42%, according to the complaint.

THE LEAD PLAINTIFF PROCESS: The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 permits any investor who purchased or acquired Ultragenyx common stock during the Class Period to seek appointment as lead plaintiff in the Ultragenyx class action lawsuit. A lead plaintiff is generally the movant with the greatest financial interest in the relief sought by the putative class who is also typical and adequate of the putative class. A lead plaintiff acts on behalf of all other class members in directing the Ultragenyx investor class action lawsuit. The lead plaintiff can select a law firm of its choice to litigate the Ultragenyx shareholder class action lawsuit. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff of the Ultragenyx class action lawsuit.

ComEd Launches New Delivery Time-of-Day Rate to Help Customers Manage Energy Costs

ComEd Launches New Delivery Time-of-Day Rate to Help Customers Manage Energy Costs

Customers pay a reduced delivery charge on their ComEd bill when they adjust their electricity usage away from peak-usage periods

CHICAGO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
ComEd has introduced a new option for residential customers designed to help them better manage energy use and lower costs. ComEd’s Delivery Time-of-Day (DTOD) pricing rate enables households to reduce expenses by shifting their energy consumption to periods when electricity rates are lower and demand is reduced. Additionally, this program provides electric vehicle (EV) owners with the potential to earn bill credits.

DTOD, developed in accordance with the Illinois Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA), introduces a rate structure where electricity delivery charges change based on the time of day power is used. In contrast, standard electric rates charge customers the same price per kilowatt-hour at any time. Additionally, DTOD customers who enroll their EVs can receive bill credits of $2 per vehicle each month for up to 24 months, with a limit of two vehicles per household.

ComEd’s DTOD rate applies to Delivery costs, which represent one of three primary components on a ComEd bill, alongside Supply and Taxes and Other Fees. Electricity delivery charges account for approximately 30% of a residential customer’s total monthly bill. Later this year ComEd plans to implement a unified time-of-day rate that applies to both Delivery and Supply services, the latter of which has been partly impacted by supply-demand imbalances that influence nearly half of energy bills and are passed on to customers without profit from ComEd.

“ComEd is doing all we can to reduce costs for families,” said Gil Quiniones, president and CEO of ComEd. “Delivery Time-of-Day pricing is our latest effort to prioritize affordability and security on behalf of the customers in the communities we are privileged to serve.”

DTOD pricing periods

DTOD enrollees pay less for delivery during off-peak hours, like overnight, and more during peak times, such as mornings and afternoons.

Morning

6 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Mid-Day Peak

1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Evening

7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Overnight

9 p.m. to 6 a.m.

A customer’s actual rates for each period will be determined by their delivery class, which is based on their home and heating type. Customers can view their specific rate information by logging into their online account at My Account and viewing the Rates Comparison tool. Customers on ComEd’s traditional electricity rate are expected to pay an energy delivery charge of approximately 5.9 cents per kilowatt-hour (kWh) in 2026.

“Affordability is at the heart of Delivery Time-of-Day pricing. That’s why we supported ComEd’s new rate and why I even signed up myself on day one,” said Will Kenworthy, Vote Solar’s Midwest Senior Regulatory Director. “The evidence consistently shows that most customers, especially low-income customers, save money just by enrolling, and those who make small changes can save even more. This kind of pricing helps move us toward a more equitable and affordable energy system for all.”

ComEd’s DTOD rate aims to motivate customers to use electricity during off-peak hours, helping them save money, reduce the demand for new power plants and decrease pollution from fossil fuel energy sources. With the DTOD rate, ComEd expects customers to save about $2.31 per month, or roughly 5% of the average electricity delivery cost.

ComEd’s DTOD rate is separate from its Hourly Pricing program. With Hourly Pricing, customers pay a Supply price that varies every hour. Those who reduce their electricity use during periods of high demand and higher prices might lower their average monthly costs. In contrast, the DTOD rate offers set prices during four fixed time periods each day, providing participants with a clearer idea of what they’ll be charged throughout the day.

There is no cost to enroll in or cancel ComEd’s DTOD. Requests may take two to three billing cycles to take effect. Customers receiving the $2 monthly electric vehicle credit will forfeit any remaining credits if they cancel DTOD participation.
