Young sided with Attorney General Andrea Campbell, 38 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:15,440 ruling that the state law does not conflict with the Federal Meat Inspection Act. 39 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:20,080

The Rose Bowl has requested to be left out of the college football playoff semifinal, 47 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:59,040 so it can continue its annual game on January 1st. 48 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:05,960 Rose Bowl management chair Laura Farber confirms this to the Athletic on Tuesday. 49 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,040 The college football playoff is moving to a 12-team format, 50 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:14,240 with quarterfinals on December 31st and January 1st, 51 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,280 and semifinals on January 8th and 9th. 52 00:04:18,280 --> 00:04:24,120 The Rose Bowl, already losing its traditional Bake 10 verse Pack 12 matchup, 53 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:30,160 prefers to host a quarterfinal every year to maintain its traditional date. 54 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:37,760 Farber stated the Bowl would be flexible about maintaining its traditional 2pm kickoff time. 55 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,320 While the new agreement with ESPN begins in 2026, 56 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,520 the bowl rotation has not been finalized. 57 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:53,920 In local sports, the Red Sox on the road beat the Rockies 6-0, 58 00:04:53,920 --> 00:05:00,360 and tonight, the Sox remain on the road in Colorado. 59 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:03,760 In top news, in the United States, 60 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,800 fluoride toothpaste has long been the standard for cavity prevention. 61 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,880 However, hydroxyapatite toothpaste, popular in Europe and Japan, 62 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,280 offers a fluoride-free alternative. 63 00:05:17,280 --> 00:05:19,560 Composed of calcium and phosphate, 64 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,800 hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral in our bones and teeth. 65 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:30,600 NASA researchers patented a hydroxyapatite precursor in the 1970s, 66 00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:36,480 and it has been approved for cavity prevention in Japan since 1993. 67 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:41,960 Despite its benefits, including reduced tooth sensitivity and bacterial adhesion, 68 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:50,000 hydroxyapatite toothpaste faces marketing challenges in the U.S. due to FDA approval requirements. 69 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:57,240 Some experts now recommend it for young children, as it avoids fluoride's potential risks. 70 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:06,040 In business news, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has sold about 34 million shares of Bank of America, 71 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,640 worth $1.5 billion. 72 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:14,520 Despite this, Berkshire remains the bank's largest shareholder. 73 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:22,520 This sale could signify profit-taking, as Bank of America's stock has surged 27% this year. 74 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,760 Alternatively, Buffett may be planning to reduce Berkshire's stake below 10% 75 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:34,040 to avoid reporting trades to the Securities and Exchange Commission within two business days. 76 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:39,240 Bank of America's recent second-quarter earnings report was positively received, 77 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:47,120 with a promising net interest income outlook potentially boosting profitability in the second half of the year. 78 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,600 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $65,900. 79 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,080 Ethereum is just

show. 90 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,440 Let's talk tech. 91 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:58,480 Cutting-edge technology could massively reduce the energy used for air conditioning. 92 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:06,280 Roughly 10% of the world's energy is used for cooling, much of it generated by fossil fuels. 93 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:13,920 Montana Technologies discovered that air conditioning was causing power spikes in buses in Shanghai. 94 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:23,440 So they developed Airjoule, a dehumidifier using a special, porous material that drastically cuts energy consumption. 95 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:28,720 Airjoule can reduce dehumidification energy by up to 90%. 96 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:34,200 The firm aims to integrate this system with existing eight vac units. 97 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:39,000 Blue Frontier and Nostromo Energy are also innovating in this space, 98 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,840 each offering unique solutions to improve cooling efficiency. 99 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:48,680 And in entertainment news, 100 00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:55,600 Celine Dion is reportedly preparing to perform at the 2024 Summer Olympics. 101 00:08:55,600 --> 00:09:02,400

person syndrome in December 2022, she had to cancel her tour plans, 105 00:09:21,680 --> 00:09:25,520 but she has kept the public updated on her health. 106 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:30,960 Celine was recently spotted in Paris, fueling performance rumors. 107 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,760 None of the involved parties have confirmed the speculations. 108 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,640 Well, all
