--> 00:02:19,800 Sunny mornings send you. 30 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:26,640 In local news, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced new regulations for lead 31 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,760 in drinking water, requiring Massachusetts to replace all lead pipes within 10 years. 32 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:40,000 To support this initiative, the agency will provide nearly $53 million. 33 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:46,320 However, industry advocates warn that this funding may not cover the full costs, potentially 34 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,780 leading to price hikes for water customers. 35 00:02:49,780 --> 00:02:54,720 The new rule lowers the lead action level from 15 to 10 parts per billion. 36 00:02:54,720 --> 00:03:01,880 Lead, a potent neurotoxin, poses serious health risks, especially to children and vulnerable 37 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:03,880 communities. 38 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:14,840 All Massachusetts communities must submit an inventory of service lines by October 16. 39 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,560 Now on to sports. 40 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:22,600 In Monday Night Football in East Rutherford, Josh Allen led the Buffalo Bills to a thrilling 41 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,200 23-20 victory over the New York Jets. 42 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,160 Allen's two touchdown passes and a decisive field goal by Tyler Bass secured the win, 43 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:38,360 snapping Buffalo's two-game skid and putting them at 4-2. 44 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:44,400 Despite Aaron Rodgers' Hail Mary touchdown, the Jets' struggles continue at 2-4 amid 45 00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,160 coaching turmoil and missed opportunities. 46 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:54,400 Yesterday afternoon, the New York Mets secured a decisive 7-3 victory over the Dodgers in 47 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,960 LA for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series. 48 00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:05,320 Francisco Lindor's towering home run in the first inning set the tone, with Marc Vientas 49 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:11,640 and Starling Marte adding crucial hits and Sean Menea earning the win. 50 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,560 Edwin Deyes closed the game with a solid save, tying the series at 1-1. 51 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,600 Tomorrow night, it's Game 3 at Citi Field. 52 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:29,760 Walker Bueller, yet to find his stride, faces Luis Severino, who boasts a 4.5 ERA. 53 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:36,960 Expect a chilly 51 degrees in Queens, with the Mets favored by 1-1.5. 54 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:43,280 So last night, the Yankees secured a 5-2 win over the Guardians at Yankee Stadium, taking 55 00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:46,920 a 1-0 lead in the ALCS. 56 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:52,640 Juan Soto's towering homer and Carlos Rodin's impressive pitching, with eight strikeouts, 57 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,640 set the tone. 58 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:59,960 Cleveland's wild pitches in the third inning allowed New York to capitalize, scoring three 59 00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:01,360 runs. 60 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:07,200 Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton had it to the Yankees' dominant performance. 61 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:13,520 Tonight, the Yankees host the Guardians again at Yankee Stadium for Game 2. 62 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,720 Garrett Gouin, in local sports. 63 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,040 Last night, the Boston Bruins faced a tough loss against the Florida Panthers at the Garden, 64 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,400 narrowly defeated 4-3. 65 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:32,560 The Panthers' Sam Reinhart was the standout player, scoring two goals, including a crucial 66 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,720 short-handed tally. 67 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,680 The Bruins started strong with Jonny Beecher opening the scoring, but the Panthers stormed 68 00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:42,240 back in the second period. 69 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,340 Despite a late goal from Mason Lorry, Boston couldn't find the equalizer, leaving them 70 00:05:47,340 --> 00:05:50,760 with a season record of 2-2. 71 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:56,080 Tomorrow night, the Bruins head to Ball Arena to take on the Colorado Avalanche, looking 72 00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,960 to bounce back and improve their standing. 73 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:08,360 In top news, a fascinating discovery reveals that a popular food dye in Cheetos can turn 74 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:14,760 the skin of live mice transparent, showcasing their inner organs. 75 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:20,920 Researchers applied a solution of tartrazine, also known as Yellow Number 5, to the mice, 76 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,200 allowing light to pass through their skin. 77 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,300 This technique unveiled blood vessels and muscles, highlighting a potential medical 78 00:06:28,300 --> 00:06:31,960 tool for imaging in blood draws. 79 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:37,280 While human skin is significantly thicker, researchers are planning to explore this phenomenon 80 00:06:37,280 --> 00:06:38,280 further. 81 00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:45,520 The study could lead to innovative applications in medical imaging in the future. 82 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:52,040 In business news, electric vehicles have shifted from being expensive purchases to bargains 83 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,360 on the used car market, as resale values plummet. 84 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:01,560 Two years ago, some used electric car models sold for as much as new ones due to a supply 85 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,720 chain crisis. 86 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:09,720 Now dealer lots overflow with unsold electric vehicles, and manufacturers, led by Tesla, 87 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,840 have slashed prices on new models. 88 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,560 In September, the average selling price of a three-year-old electric vehicle fell to 89 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:24,240 around $28,400, a 25% drop since January. 90 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:31,120 This sharp decline has left many owners upside down on their loans, adding to industry challenges. 91 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:42,480 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,100, Ethereum is just over $2,400, and Solana is 92 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,280 $157. 93 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,600 Moving on to a more local vibe. 94 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:55,320 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national

back to the show. 104 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:35,360 Let's talk tech. 105 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:42,080 A new study from six Apple engineers reveals significant flaws in the reasoning capabilities 106 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,800 of advanced large language models. 107 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:52,160 These models, often touted for their reasoning skills by companies like OpenAI and Google, 108 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,680 demonstrated catastrophic performance drops when faced with minor changes in mathematical 109 00:08:57,680 --> 00:08:59,720 word problems. 110 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:06,760 The researchers modified a standard benchmark, leading to accuracy reductions between 0.3% 111 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,800 and 9.2%. 112 00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:17,280 Additionally, introducing irrelevant details caused accuracy to plummet by up to 66%. 113 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,520 This underscores the model's reliance on probabilistic pattern matching, rather than 114 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:28,240 genuine logical reasoning, highlighting a critical limitation in current artificial 115 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:30,240 intelligence technologies. 116 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,840 And in entertainment news. 117 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:41,840 Beetle 64, the latest documentary produced by Martin Scorsese, is set to take fans on 118 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,480 a

Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 127 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:32,320 And today, our quote comes from the ancient Greek philosopher, Epictetus. 128 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:33,320 And he said, 129 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:39,000 The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth 130 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,720 your best. 131 00:10:41,720 -->
