In local news, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced new regulations for lead
in drinking water, requiring Massachusetts to replace all lead pipes within 10 years.
To support this initiative, the agency will provide nearly $53 million.
However, industry advocates warn that this funding may not cover the full costs, potentially
leading to price hikes for water customers.
The new rule lowers the lead action level from 15 to 10 parts per billion.
Lead, a potent neurotoxin, poses serious health risks, especially to children and vulnerable
communities.
All Massachusetts communities must submit an inventory of service lines by October 16.
Now on to sports.
In Monday Night Football in East Rutherford, Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a thrilling

snapping Buffalo's two-game skid and putting them at 4-2.
Despite Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary touchdown, the Jets' struggles continue at 2-4 amid
coaching turmoil and missed opportunities.
Yesterday afternoon, the New York Mets secured a decisive 7-3 victory over the Dodgers in

The Panthers' Sam Reinhart was the standout player, scoring two goals, including a crucial
short-handed tally.
The Bruins started strong with Jonny Beecher opening the scoring, but the Panthers stormed

In top news, a fascinating discovery reveals that a popular food dye in Cheetos can turn
the skin of live mice transparent, showcasing their inner organs.
Researchers applied a solution of tartrazine, also known as Yellow Number 5, to the mice,
allowing light to pass through their skin.
This technique unveiled blood vessels and muscles, highlighting a potential medical
tool for imaging in blood draws.
While human skin is significantly thicker, researchers are planning to explore this phenomenon
further.
The study could lead to innovative applications in medical imaging in the future.
In business news, electric vehicles have shifted from being expensive purchases to bargains
on the used car market, as resale values plummet.
Two years ago, some used electric car models sold for as much as new ones due to a supply
chain crisis.
Now dealer lots overflow with unsold electric vehicles, and manufacturers, led by Tesla,
have slashed prices on new models.
In September, the average selling price of a three-year-old electric vehicle fell to
around $28,400, a 25% drop since January.
This sharp decline has left many owners upside down on their loans, adding to industry challenges.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,100, Ethereum is just over $2,400, and Solana is
$157.
Moving on to a more local vibe.

Let's talk tech.
A new study from six Apple engineers reveals significant flaws in the reasoning capabilities
of advanced large language models.
These models, often touted for their reasoning skills by companies like OpenAI and Google,
demonstrated catastrophic performance drops when faced with minor changes in mathematical
word problems.
The researchers modified a standard benchmark, leading to accuracy reductions between 0.3%
and 9.2%.
Additionally, introducing irrelevant details caused accuracy to plummet by up to 66%.
This underscores the model's reliance on probabilistic pattern matching, rather than
genuine logical reasoning, highlighting a critical limitation in current artificial
intelligence technologies.
And in entertainment news.
