This event underscored 00:00:39.189 --> 00:00:42.229 the relentless pursuit of justice and the determination 00:00:42.229 --> 00:00:45.170 of law enforcement to restore peace and order 00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:50.289 during challenging times.

In local news, the Boston 00:02:59.580 --> 00:03:02.939 Calling Music Festival returns to Harvard University's 00:03:02.939 --> 00:03:05.979 Athletics Complex this weekend, introducing an 00:03:05.979 --> 00:03:09.479 exciting new feature, a massive rotating stage. 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:13.460 This innovation replaces the previous two performance 00:03:13.460 --> 00:03:16.120 platforms, allowing for a seamless transition 00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.870 between artists. Co -founder Brian Apple describes 00:03:19.870 --> 00:03:23.550 it as a lazy Susan, or a gigantic turntable, 00:03:23.750 --> 00:03:26.830 enabling one band to set up while another performs. 00:03:27.530 --> 00:03:31.629 This new stage spans 80 feet and is flanked by 00:03:31.629 --> 00:03:35.669 large video walls.

Executives unanimously approved 00:04:02.979 --> 00:04:05.560 this change, which means teams will be seeded 00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:08.240 directly based on the selection committee's rankings, 00:04:08.479 --> 00:04:12.159 rather than conference championships. This new 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.919 format will allow the top four seeds to earn 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:18.610 a buy into the quarterfinals. However, it comes 00:04:18.610 --> 00:04:21.209 with a financial compromise, ensuring that the 00:04:21.209 --> 00:04:23.750 four highest -ranked conference champions will 00:04:23.750 --> 00:04:27.389 still receive $8 million each, regardless of 00:04:27.389 --> 00:04:30.610 their seed.
