to make an impact in the community. He finished
a distant second to incumbent Mayor Michelle

exit, Wu is effectively guaranteed another four
-year term in City Hall. Kraft plans to focus
his resources, including $3 .0 million, on addressing
the crisis at Mass and Cass in the South End.
Now on to sports. New reports suggest that the
Los Angeles Clippers organization may have been
aware of issues surrounding their endorsement
deal with the company, aspiration, which recently
went bankrupt. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver emphasized
the need for due process regarding the investigation
into potential salary cap violations. Kawhi Leonard's
endorsement deal, worth $28 million, paid him
$7 million annually. despite him not promoting
the company. Clippers owner Steve Vollmer invested
$50 million into aspiration and stated he felt
duped. On December 15th, Leonard received a delayed
payment of $1 ,800 ,000. The investigation continues
as circumstantial evidence mounts, raising concerns
among other team owners. Add on to football.

Researchers have spent a decade improving massive
detectors to catch shockwaves from colliding
black holes. On September 14, 2015, physicists

surface area of black holes can never decrease.
confirming a key idea proposed by Hocking in
1971. This proof of his theory is a testament
to his legacy, even after his passing in 2018.
Researchers are also planning new detectors that
could be 10 times more sensitive. In business
news, new car buyers, beware, the latest data
is concerning. So far, 2025 has been a car buyers
market, but that could change quickly. The threat
of tariffs has forced car companies to increase
their incentive spending to attract buyers. Buyers
have responded positively, leading to record
-setting sales for companies like Ford, General
Motors, and Kia. Ford was the top -selling brand
in the United States during the first half of
the year. However, there are no concrete plans
to lower tariffs. Average new vehicle transaction
prices in August rose to $49 ,077. Incentive
spending fell slightly to 7 .2 % of average transaction
price in August. In crypto movement, Bitcoin
is up half a percent for the week, to just over
$115 ,000. Ethereum is up 4%. to just under $4
,500. And SRP is up 5 % to $3 .03. Moving on

back to the show. Let's talk tech. Microsoft
and OpenAI have reached a deal to extend their
partnership, easing the startup's path to becoming
a for -profit company. This agreement follows
months of tension between the two, as Microsoft
is OpenAI's exclusive cloud provider and a major
investor. While the terms remain undisclosed,
both organizations are set to receive approximately
30 % of the new company's stake. OpenAI aims
to finalize its restructure by the end of the
year to secure $19 billion in funding. Despite
the partnership, OpenAI faces challenges from
various opponents, including billionaire Elon
Musk, who has initiated legal action against
the startup. And in entertainment news, Pioneertown,
California is experiencing a vibrant renaissance.
moving beyond its roots as a Hollywood movie
set into a real Western town with a unique identity.
The Main Street Band performed at the Red Dog
Saloon as locals and visitors mingled, enjoying
the warm atmosphere. Local shopkeeper Joanne
Gosen emphasized, this is a real town and it's
our town. Despite recent challenges, Pioneer
Town is finding a new equilibrium with small
businesses flourishing. Visitors can enjoy activities
like bowling, taco dining, and even fresh bagels
on Sundays. The community desires slow growth
that preserves its Western character, navigating
the challenges posed by the desert environment.
Well, all righty folks, it's time for the quote
