In local news, an environmental group is suing Greyhound Lines, Inc. for what they call excessive idling in Boston, which releases harmful pollutants into the air.
The Boston-based Conservation Law Foundation filed the complaint after observing 65 instances of Greyhound buses idling longer than legally permitted over 16 days, from December 2023 to August 2024.
The suit highlights that some buses idled for over an hour, with one instance recording idling for 2 hours and 17 minutes.
Now on to sports.
It has been a strange baseball season, with many top teams faltering since July 1st.
The Philadelphia Phillies, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Baltimore Orioles, once among the best, have all seen their records decline significantly.
Meanwhile, the Arizona Diamond Vax and New York Mets have surged, winning the most games in the second half.
Notably, the Milwaukee Brewers have consistently led the National League Central Division.
In player news, the New York Yankees called up Jasson Dominguez, and Kumar Roker will start for the Texas Rangers, as they deal with injuries to key players.

The Red Sox lost 5-3 last night at Fenway against the Orioles.

Cutter Crawford took the loss, and Albert Suarez got the win for Baltimore.
Tonight Nick Pivetta will face off against Dean Kramer at 410pm at Fenway as Boston tries to even the series.
The Sox are third in the wild card race, two games behind Minnesota and Detroit for the final spot, and six games behind Baltimore.
They need to make a push to stay in the hunt for October baseball.
In top news.
Mold can be found in surprising places within your kitchen, from dishwashers to refrigerator gaskets.
This diverse group of fungi thrives in environments with water, food and oxygen, making kitchens ideal breeding grounds.
While small amounts of mold may not pose health risks, they can still induce allergic reactions.
To combat kitchen mold, experts recommend keeping surfaces clean and dry, reducing humidity, and frequently cleaning areas like coffee machines and refrigerator seals.
If you find mold on food, toss moist items, while denser foods can often be salvaged.
Proper hygiene is essential to prevent mold growth and maintain a healthy kitchen.

Let's talk science.
Scientists are delving into the intriguing possibility that wormholes might be influencing our perception of the universe.
Researchers in Greece propose that these tiny structures could help explain discrepancies in our understanding of gravity and the expansion of the universe.
Their findings, published in a peer-reviewed journal, suggest that the positive cosmological constant has created mathematical issues, predicting values much larger than observed.
By incorporating microscopic wormholes into their models, the scientists believe they can account for dark energy and the observed cosmological constant, potentially reshaping our understanding of space-time itself.
And in entertainment news.
In the order, Jude Law shines as a haunted lawman, potentially earning his first Oscar nomination in 21 years.
The 51-year-old English actor portrays Terry Husk, an FBI agent drawn back into a violent investigation after relocating to Idaho.
The film, directed by Justin Kerzel, premiered at the Venice Film Festival and is based on a book about the FBI's pursuit of a domestic terror group in the 1980s.
Critics have embraced the film, drawing parallels to real-world extremism.
The order will be released in limited theaters on December 6, showcasing Law's compelling performance.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from Charlie Hussle himself, Pete Rose.
And he said,
Willie Mays could throw better, and Hank Aaron could hit more home runs. But I've got enthusiasm. I've got desire. I've got hustle.
Those are God-given talents too.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
