on to sports. In a thrilling Game 4, Tyrese Halliburton

3 -1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.

a turnover. The Pacers now head to Madison Square
Garden, aiming to clinch their first NBA Finals
appearance in 25 years. Last night in Milwaukee,
the Red Sox fell to the Brewers 5 -1. Christian
Jelic's grand slam in the 10th inning sealed
the win for Milwaukee. Despite Rafi scoring on
a wild pitch in the sixth, the Sox couldn't keep
pace. Hendricks took the loss after allowing
the decisive homer. Both teams had seven hits
each, but it wasn't enough for the Sox, whose

In top news, in a significant security breach.
More than 184 million passwords from platforms
like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft may have
been compromised, according to cybersecurity
researcher Jeremiah Fowler. The exposed database,
which was publicly accessible and unencrypted,
contained 184 million unique logins tied to social
media, email providers, and even bank accounts.
Fowler noted that the data likely originated
from infostealer malware designed to harvest
sensitive information from users. Major platforms,
including Snapchat, reported no evidence of a
breach, but similar incidents have become alarmingly
common, raising concerns about user security
and data protection. In business news, concerns
about a recession are back in focus for investors.
though predicting its timing and severity remains
challenging. Key economic indicators include
gross domestic product, consumer spending, employment,
inflation, interest rates, the yield curve, and
stock market performance. Recent data shows a
contraction of 0 .3 % in gross domestic product
for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due
to increased imports. Consumer spending rose
1 .8 % despite a drop in consumer sentiment.
Analysts expect the Federal Reserve to wait until
July to adjust interest rates as economic conditions
evolve amid tariff impacts. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is unchanged at $109 ,000. Ethereum is
up 3 % to about $2 ,600. And Goatseys Maximus
is down 3 % to 15 cents. Moving on to a more

now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Researchers
are on a mission to rebuild the vanishing sea
ice above the Arctic Circle to reflect the sun's
warming rays. A relatively warm February morning
in Cambridge Bay, Canada, saw a team from Real
Ice drilling into the ice to pump water, creating
a blue ice formation. This initiative aims to
thicken seasonal ice, potentially preserving
a million square kilometers, which could cool
the planet. However, concerns arise about unintended
consequences for local wildlife and ecosystems.
With fossil fuel emissions still rising, the
urgency for geoengineering solutions like these
becomes increasingly critical, as experts debate
their effectiveness and impact. And in entertainment
news, shares of movie theater stocks experienced
significant gains on Tuesday. following a record
Memorial Day weekend box office haul. AMC Entertainment
led the pack, with shares soaring more than 20%,
reaching an intraday high of $4. Rival chains
Marcus and Synmark also saw increases of around
10 % and 3%, respectively. Domestic box office
sales hit $325 million, more than double last
year's figures. Analysts suggest this trend signals
a promising recovery for the exhibition industry,
as year -to -date U .S. box office sales have
exceeded $3 billion, a 23 % increase from 2024.
