In local 00:02:40.870 --> 00:02:44.430 news, Boston school officials are proposing a 00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:47.050 change to the admissions policy for the city's 00:02:47.050 --> 00:02:50.139 exam schools. aiming for a more equitable system 00:02:50.139 --> 00:02:53.900 for acceptance into these elite schools. The 00:02:53.900 --> 00:02:57.020 proposal would reserve 20 % of seats for top 00:02:57.020 --> 00:02:59.520 -scoring students, regardless of where they live 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:02.539 in the city, while the remaining 80 % would still 00:03:02.539 --> 00:03:06.259 be apportioned across four tiers based on socioeconomic 00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:10.300 characteristics. Boston Public Schools Superintendent 00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:13.379 Mary Skipper emphasized that these changes intend 00:03:13.379 --> 00:03:16.020 to provide a pathway for the highest -scoring 00:03:16.020 --> 00:03:19.419 students citywide. while maintaining equal invitations 00:03:19.419 --> 00:03:23.539 across socioeconomic tiers. The school committee 00:03:23.539 --> 00:03:26.539 will vote on this proposal on November 5th, with 00:03:26.539 --> 00:03:29.219 support from many parents who recognize the current 00:03:29.219 --> 00:03:38.879 system's limitations. Now onto sports. College 00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.719 football's Week 6 odds feature Miami and Alabama 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.310 favored in top 25 matchups.

Eight teams from the Associated Press 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:17.740 Top 25 are actually on by this week.

In top news, the credit market is 00:05:44.819 --> 00:05:49.199 humming and that has Wall Street on edge. Concerns 00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:51.800 mouth that a frothy market is concealing signs 00:05:51.800 --> 00:05:54.980 of excess as sudden bankruptcies rattle investors. 00:05:56.480 --> 00:05:58.699 United States credit markets are running hot, 00:05:59.000 --> 00:06:03.120 maybe too hot. Investors are eagerly buying corporate 00:06:03.120 --> 00:06:05.720 debt, even though the rewards are lower than 00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.019 they have been in decades. The frothy mood has 00:06:09.019 --> 00:06:11.579 some on Wall Street worried that the market is 00:06:11.579 --> 00:06:15.959 priced for perfection and right for a fall. Two 00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.740 sudden bankruptcies in the auto sector have triggered 00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:21.720 conversations among bond investors and analysts. 00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:25.970 So far, there is no sign of wider fallout. But 00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:28.949 challenges like persistent inflation and rising 00:06:28.949 --> 00:06:33.949 defaults in private credit are concerning. In 00:06:33.949 --> 00:06:38.790 business news, Amazon has agreed to pay $2 .5 00:06:38.790 --> 00:06:42.410 billion to settle claims that misled prime customers 00:06:42.410 --> 00:06:45.709 into automatic enrollment and made cancellation 00:06:45.709 --> 00:06:49.430 difficult. The Federal Trade Commission announced 00:06:49.430 --> 00:06:51.829 the settlement during a trial over the lawsuit. 00:06:52.089 --> 00:06:55.829 which accused Amazon of using manipulative user 00:06:55.829 --> 00:06:59.509 interface designs. Amazon will provide up to 00:06:59.509 --> 00:07:03.569 $51 to eligible customers and pay a $1 billion 00:07:03.569 --> 00:07:07.410 civil penalty. The company must also simplify 00:07:07.410 --> 00:07:10.750 cancellation processes and create a website explaining 00:07:10.750 --> 00:07:14.230 the settlement. Despite the settlement, analysts 00:07:14.230 --> 00:07:17.129 believe Amazon Prime's benefits will continue 00:07:17.129 --> 00:07:21.019 to attract consumers. Amazon shares fell about 00:07:21.019 --> 00:07:25.339 1 % following the announcement. In crypto movement, 00:07:26.160 --> 00:07:33.199 Bitcoin is up 2 % to about $114 ,000. Ethereum 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.620 is up half a percent to just under $4 ,200. And 00:07:38.620 --> 00:07:45.259 XRP is unchanged at $2 .88. Moving on to a more 00:07:45.259 --> 00:07:49.379 local vibe.

And now, 00:08:29.649 --> 00:08:34.549 back to the show. Let's talk tech. In a recent 00:08:34.549 --> 00:08:37.330 comparison of navigation apps, Waze and Apple 00:08:37.330 --> 00:08:40.730 Maps were put to the test over 800 miles of driving. 00:08:41.730 --> 00:08:44.590 Both apps provide valuable features. but Apple 00:08:44.590 --> 00:08:48.590 Maps emerged as the top choice overall. While 00:08:48.590 --> 00:08:51.870 Waze offers a fun selection of voices, its interface 00:08:51.870 --> 00:08:54.950 can be distracting due to nearby users shown 00:08:54.950 --> 00:08:58.929 on the map itself. Apple Maps, with a cleaner 00:08:58.929 --> 00:09:01.929 interface, includes options for walking and biking, 00:09:02.450 --> 00:09:05.230 and its explicit directions are a standout feature. 00:09:06.860 --> 00:09:10.080 Additionally, Apple Maps allows users to download 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:13.159 offline maps, which is crucial for areas with 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.139 poor cell service. Ultimately, for reliability 00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:23.460 and clarity, Apple Maps takes the win. And in 00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:27.960 entertainment news, Keanu Reeves' and Alex Winter's 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.100 production of Waiting for Godot is a stylish 00:09:31.100 --> 00:09:34.179 but shallow interpretation of Samuel Beckett's 00:09:34.179 --> 00:09:37.289 classic. While their onstage chemistry draws 00:09:37.289 --> 00:09:40.450 applause, the performance lacks depth and connection. 00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:44.850 Reeves portrays Estragon with a blend of childlike 00:09:44.850 --> 00:09:48.289 curiosity and weariness, while Winter's Vladimir 00:09:48.289 --> 00:09:52.710 feels stiffer and less skilled. The rush pacing 00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:56.250 hampers the dialogue's intended rhythm, overshadowing 00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:58.730 moments of silence that are essential to the 00:09:58.730 --> 00:10:02.669 play. Supporting characters like Pozzo and Lucky, 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.460 offer compelling mastery of Beckett's prose, 00:10:06.019 --> 00:10:09.200 adding intrigue to the production. However, the 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.120 overall experience remains aesthetically pleasing 00:10:12.120 --> 00:10:16.659 yet hollow. Well, all righty folks, it's time 00:10:16.659 --> 00:10:20.580 for the quote of the day. And today, our quote 00:10:20.580 --> 00:10:23.519 comes from the American philosopher and psychologist, 00:10:24.059 --> 00:10:29.120 William James. And he said, The greatest discovery 00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.279 of any generation is that a human being can alter 00:10:32.279 --> 00:10:36.980 his life by altering his attitudes. And that's 00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:39.980 a wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:10:39.980 --> 00:10:44.059 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:10:44.059 --> 00:10:47.159 aerial videos with local news and the weather 00:10:47.159 --> 00:10:50.840 reports. Have an amazing day, my good friends. 00:10:51.200 --> 00:10:53.899 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of 00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:55.340 Sunny Mornings in Boston.
