Securities Fraud LawsuitGreenland Resources Welcomes Canada’s Decision to Open a Consulate in GreenlandStanford and California meet for the first time as Atlantic Coast Conference rivals when each tries to prove its impressive non-league record is no fluke on Saturday afternoon in Berkeley, Calif. Stanford (7-2) took last year's season series 2-1, but the clubs were so evenly matched -- the Cardinal won 14 games, the Golden Bears 13 -- it took overtime at the final Pacific-12 Conference tournament to determine the rivalry winner. The teams enter their first meeting this season with the same number of losses, but Cal (6-2) has had the edge in strength of schedule. The Golden Bears were invited to play in the SEC/ACC Challenge, in which they squandered a second-half lead en route to a 98-93 loss at Missouri. Cal's only other loss also came on the road at a Southeastern Conference site, an 85-69 setback at Vanderbilt on Nov. 13. Meanwhile, Stanford has played seven of its nine games at home and hasn't left the state of California. The Cardinal were beaten by Grand Canyon at a neutral site on Nov. 26 before getting shocked at home by Cal Poly last Saturday. This Saturday's matchup is the first since Andrej Stojakovic, Stanford's prize recruit last year, transferred to Cal after just one season. The son of former NBA standout Peja Stojakovic leads the Golden Bears in scoring at 18.8 points per game. Andrej Stojakovic has averaged 31.9 minutes per game for Cal after getting just 22.3 per game as a freshman at Stanford a season ago. He said anticipating that type of greater opportunity prompted his move across the San Francisco Bay. "I thought that when I played a large amount of minutes (last season), I performed to what I was expected to do from the staff and the program," he noted. "But just going into Cal and having a more consistent role and having the confidence instilled from the staff has been huge so far." Stanford returned just one of its top seven scorers from last season, but that was center Maxime Raynaud. The preseason All-ACC selection is averaging 22.3 points and 12.2 rebounds per game, with double-doubles in eight of nine outings. He had two double-doubles and a pair of 20-point games against Cal last season. Duke transfer Jaylen Blakes offered a unique perspective on his first Stanford-Cal experience. "Every ACC game is going to be a challenge," he claimed. "(Cal is) a rivalry game, but we are just trying to get a win." --Field Level Media

West Virginia knocks off No. 3 Gonzaga in overtime

Kwara establishes SGBV centres, collaborates with PLWDsPony AI Inc. ($PONY), a Chinese autonomous driving start-up, debuted on the Nasdaq on Wednesday with its American depositary shares climbing as much as 19%. The company’s valuation has surpassed $5 billion, attracting significant retail attention and positioning it alongside established giants like Tesla ($TSLA) and Alphabet’s ($GOOGL) ($GOOG) Waymo. The IPO and concurrent private placements raised $413.4 million for Pony AI, with the total potentially reaching $452 million if underwriters exercise their options to purchase additional shares. Separately, a group of investors — including Uber Technologies Inc. ($UBER) — agreed to purchase $153.4 million worth of shares in a private placement, according to Bloomberg News. Pony AI operates a fleet of 250 robotaxis and 190 robotrucks in China and is partnering with Toyota and GMTC to accelerate mass production of self-driving vehicles. Its “Virtual Driver” technology integrates AI-trained software with hardware like GPS, optical cameras, radar, and lidar, distinguishing itself from the technology employed by competitors like Tesla and Waymo. The company’s robotruck business is its largest revenue source, generating $27.5 million through September 2024. Robotaxis contributed $4.7 million, while the remainder came from technology licensing. Pony AI reported a $93.9 million loss on $39.5 million in revenue for the first nine months of the year, an improvement from a $104.6 million loss on $21.3 million in revenue a year earlier. Retail investors have shown keen interest, with Pony AI trending in the top 25 tickers on Stocktwits by midday Wednesday. While its U.S. operations reportedly remain “limited in scope,” Pony AI said it aims to position itself as a leader in autonomous driving in China. Pony AI enters a competitive landscape where Waymo completes 150,000 driverless taxi rides weekly in the U.S., and Tesla plans to launch its robotaxi service by late 2025.
