  and Philadelphia in the running. The convention

  site visits planned this spring to assess each

  Ken Martin expressed pride in moving forward.

  featured a keynote address by Barack Obama. Both
• 3:28
  Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu supported
• 3:31
  Boston's bid, highlighting the city's commitment
• 3:34
  to democracy and civic pride. Now on to sports.
• 3:44
  Juriksen Profar, the Atlanta Braves' designated
• 3:47
  hitter, has received a 162 -game suspension after
• 3:52
  testing positive for exogenous testosterone and
• 3:55
  its metabolites for the second time in the past
• 3:58
  year, majorly baseball -announced. Profar will
• 4:02
  forfeit his entire $15 million salary and will
• 4:06
  be ineligible for the postseason and the upcoming
• 4:09
  World Baseball Classic. This suspension follows
• 4:12
  a previous 80 -game ban for a different performance
• 4:16
  -enhancing drug. The Braves, already dealing
• 4:19
  with injuries to key pitchers, face significant
• 4:22
  challenges ahead without Profar. He intends to
• 4:26
  appeal the suspension through Major League Baseball's
• 4:28
  players' union. In local sports, the Bruins secured
• 4:33
  a hard -fought 2 -1 victory over the Penguins
• 4:36
  on Tuesday night. Maret Kasna -Dinov and Kasey

• 4:43
  in the first period, with Kuznetdinov netting
• 4:46
  his 13th goal at 5 minutes and 10 seconds. Middlestadt
• 4:51
  followed up with his 13th goal, firing in a rebound

  just 50 seconds later. Jeremy Swamen was stellar

  in net, making 34 saves to help the Bees extend
• 5:03
  their impressive home win streak to 11 games.
• 5:06
  Next, the Bruins will visit Nashville on Thursday
• 5:09
  night looking to build on this momentum. In top
• 5:14
  news, one type of drinking water is linked to
• 5:18
  up to 62 % higher risk of developing Parkinson's
• 5:21
  disease, according to a new study. Researchers
• 5:25
  examined 12 ,370 people with Parkinson's disease
• 5:30
  and more than 1 .2 million without it. They found
• 5:34
  that drinking water from newer groundwater is
• 5:36
  associated with higher risks compared to older
• 5:39
  sources. Specifically, carbonate aquifers show
• 5:43
  a 24 % increased risk, rising to 62 % compared
• 5:48
  to glacial aquifers. The study highlights the
• 5:51
  importance of groundwater age and source in assessing
• 5:54
  long -term neurological health risks. In business
• 5:58
  news, Apple has discontinued seven products this
• 6:02
  week, with one more likely to follow. The new

  product launches often lead to the discontinuation

  Let's talk science. Weather events like El Nino
• 7:58
  are notoriously hard to predict, but this year
• 8:01
  could mark its return. The climate pattern resulting
• 8:05
  from changes in the Pacific Ocean caused heavy
• 8:08
  rainfall in the western United States and drought
• 8:10
  in Southeast Asia two years ago. The World Meteorological
• 8:15
  Organization announced a moderate chance of El
• 8:18
  Nino returning, with probabilities around 40
• 8:21
  % between May and July. The National Oceanic
• 8:25
  and Atmospheric Administration estimates a 50
• 8:28
  to 60 percent chance for late summer. These forecasts
• 8:32
  are essential for disaster risk management, said
• 8:35
  Celis Salo, the World Meteorological Organization's
• 8:39
  secretary general. And in entertainment news,
• 8:45
  Guy Ritchie's Young Sherlock delivers a perfect
• 8:48
  origin story that is sensational. Inspired by
• 8:53
  Andrew Lane's young Sherlock Holmes novels, the
• 8:56
  series infuses Victorian England with modern
• 8:59
  energy and intricate mysteries. At just 19, Sherlock,
• 9:05
  played by hero Fiennes Tiven, is a master pickpocket,
• 9:08
  landing him in trouble and a six -month prison
• 9:11
  sentence. His brother, Mycroft, portrayed by
• 9:15
  Max Irons, helps guide him towards a new job
• 9:17
  at Oxford University. where missing artifact
• 9:20
  leads to a murder investigation. All eight episodes
• 9:24
  premiere on March 4th on Prime Video, showcasing
• 9:28
  a compelling tale of intrigue and character development.
• 9:33
  Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote
• 9:35
  of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
• 9:39
  American author and motivational speaker, Jim
• 9:42
  Rohn. And he said, success is neither magical
• 9:47
  nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence
• 9:51
  of consistently applying the basic fundamentals.
• 9:56
