  delivery business, the Scoop North Scootery,

  to a post on the company's Instagram page, A

• 2:55
  Shore in the fall of 2025. While the exact site

• 3:05
  at this time. The Scoop North Scootery currently

  operates three locations in Cambridge, Alston
• 3:12
  and Arlington, and plans to open another store
• 3:15
  in Charlotte, North Carolina, this August. Now
• 3:24
  on to sports. In a thrilling Game 4, Tyrese Halliburton
• 3:29
  led the Indiana Pacers to a 130 -121 victory
• 3:34
  over the New York Knicks, giving the Pacers a
• 3:37
  3 -1 series lead in the Eastern Conference Finals.
• 3:41
  Halliburton recorded a historic triple -double,
• 3:45
  scoring 32 points with 15 assists and 12 rebounds,
• 3:50
  all without a single turnover. He becomes only
• 3:54
  the third player to achieve such a feat in the
• 3:56
  playoffs, and the first to do it without committing
• 3:59
  a turnover. The Pacers now head to Madison Square
• 4:03
  Garden, aiming to clinch their first NBA Finals
• 4:07
  appearance in 25 years. Last night in Milwaukee,
• 4:14
  the Red Sox fell to the Brewers 5 -1. Christian
• 4:18
  Jelic's grand slam in the 10th inning sealed
• 4:21
  the win for Milwaukee. Despite Rafi scoring on
• 4:25
  a wild pitch in the sixth, the Sox couldn't keep
• 4:28
  pace. Hendricks took the loss after allowing
• 4:32
  the decisive homer. Both teams had seven hits
• 4:36
  each, but it wasn't enough for the Sox, whose
• 4:39
  record now stands at 27 -30 with four consecutive
• 4:43
  losses. Tonight, the Sox take on the Brewers
• 4:47
  in Milwaukee for the final game of this three
• 4:50
  -game series. Ryan Baio, with a 2 .81 ERA, faces
• 4:56
  Freddy Peralta, who holds a 5 .25 ERA. First
• 5:01
  pitch is at 110 with a cool 55 degrees expected.
• 5:07
  In top news, in a significant security breach.
• 5:12
  More than 184 million passwords from platforms
• 5:15
  like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft may have
• 5:19
  been compromised, according to cybersecurity
• 5:21
  researcher Jeremiah Fowler. The exposed database,
• 5:26
  which was publicly accessible and unencrypted,
• 5:29
  contained 184 million unique logins tied to social
• 5:34
  media, email providers, and even bank accounts.
• 5:38
  Fowler noted that the data likely originated
• 5:41
  from infostealer malware designed to harvest
• 5:44
  sensitive information from users. Major platforms,
• 5:49
  including Snapchat, reported no evidence of a
• 5:52
  breach, but similar incidents have become alarmingly
• 5:55
  common, raising concerns about user security
• 5:58
  and data protection. In business news, concerns
• 6:04
  about a recession are back in focus for investors.
• 6:07
  though predicting its timing and severity remains
• 6:10
  challenging. Key economic indicators include
• 6:14
  gross domestic product, consumer spending, employment,
• 6:18
  inflation, interest rates, the yield curve, and
• 6:22
  stock market performance. Recent data shows a
• 6:25
  contraction of 0 .3 % in gross domestic product
• 6:29
  for the first quarter of 2025, primarily due
• 6:33
  to increased imports. Consumer spending rose
• 6:37
  1 .8 % despite a drop in consumer sentiment.
• 6:42
  Analysts expect the Federal Reserve to wait until
• 6:44
  July to adjust interest rates as economic conditions
• 6:48
  evolve amid tariff impacts. In crypto movement,
• 6:53
  Bitcoin is unchanged at $109 ,000. Ethereum is
• 7:00
  up 3 % to about $2 ,600. And Goatseys Maximus
• 7:06
  is down 3 % to 15 cents. Moving on to a more

  now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Researchers
• 8:00
  are on a mission to rebuild the vanishing sea
• 8:03
  ice above the Arctic Circle to reflect the sun's
• 8:06
  warming rays. A relatively warm February morning
• 8:10
  in Cambridge Bay, Canada, saw a team from Real
• 8:14
  Ice drilling into the ice to pump water, creating
• 8:17
  a blue ice formation. This initiative aims to
• 8:21
  thicken seasonal ice, potentially preserving
• 8:24
  a million square kilometers, which could cool
• 8:27
  the planet. However, concerns arise about unintended
• 8:30
  consequences for local wildlife and ecosystems.
• 8:35
  With fossil fuel emissions still rising, the
• 8:38
  urgency for geoengineering solutions like these
• 8:41
  becomes increasingly critical, as experts debate
• 8:44
  their effectiveness and impact. And in entertainment
• 8:50
  news, shares of movie theater stocks experienced
• 8:54
  significant gains on Tuesday. following a record
• 8:57

  10 % and 3%, respectively. Domestic box office

  sales hit $325 million, more than double last

• 9:35
  exceeded $3 billion, a 23 % increase from 2024.
