  In local news, the Environmental Protection Agency has announced new regulations for lead
• 2:26
  in drinking water, requiring Massachusetts to replace all lead pipes within 10 years.
• 2:33
  To support this initiative, the agency will provide nearly $53 million.
• 2:40
  However, industry advocates warn that this funding may not cover the full costs, potentially
• 2:46
  leading to price hikes for water customers.
• 2:49
  The new rule lowers the lead action level from 15 to 10 parts per billion.
• 2:54
  Lead, a potent neurotoxin, poses serious health risks, especially to children and vulnerable
• 3:01
  communities.
• 3:03
  All Massachusetts communities must submit an inventory of service lines by October 16.
• 3:14
  Now on to sports.

  Allen's two touchdown passes and a decisive field goal by Tyler Bass secured the win,
• 3:33
  snapping Buffalo's two-game skid and putting them at 4-2.

  Last night, the Boston Bruins faced a tough loss against the Florida Panthers at the Garden,
• 5:23
  narrowly defeated 4-3.
• 5:26
  The Panthers' Sam Reinhart was the standout player, scoring two goals, including a crucial
• 5:32
  short-handed tally.
• 5:34
  The Bruins started strong with Jonny Beecher opening the scoring, but the Panthers stormed
• 5:39
  back in the second period.
• 5:42
  Despite a late goal from Mason Lorry, Boston couldn't find the equalizer, leaving them
• 5:47
  with a season record of 2-2.
• 5:50
  Tomorrow night, the Bruins head to Ball Arena to take on the Colorado Avalanche, looking
• 5:56
  to bounce back and improve their standing.
• 6:00
  In top news, a fascinating discovery reveals that a popular food dye in Cheetos can turn
• 6:08
  the skin of live mice transparent, showcasing their inner organs.
• 6:14
  Researchers applied a solution of tartrazine, also known as Yellow Number 5, to the mice,
• 6:20
  allowing light to pass through their skin.
• 6:24
  This technique unveiled blood vessels and muscles, highlighting a potential medical
• 6:28
  tool for imaging in blood draws.
• 6:31
  While human skin is significantly thicker, researchers are planning to explore this phenomenon
• 6:37
  further.
• 6:38
  The study could lead to innovative applications in medical imaging in the future.
• 6:45
  In business news, electric vehicles have shifted from being expensive purchases to bargains
• 6:52
  on the used car market, as resale values plummet.
• 6:56
  Two years ago, some used electric car models sold for as much as new ones due to a supply
• 7:01
  chain crisis.
• 7:03
  Now dealer lots overflow with unsold electric vehicles, and manufacturers, led by Tesla,
• 7:09
  have slashed prices on new models.
• 7:12
  In September, the average selling price of a three-year-old electric vehicle fell to
• 7:17
  around $28,400, a 25% drop since January.
• 7:24
  This sharp decline has left many owners upside down on their loans, adding to industry challenges.
• 7:31
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $63,100, Ethereum is just over $2,400, and Solana is
• 7:42
  $157.
• 7:46
  Moving on to a more local vibe.

  And now back to the show.
• 8:34
  Let's talk tech.
• 8:35
  A new study from six Apple engineers reveals significant flaws in the reasoning capabilities
• 8:42
  of advanced large language models.
• 8:45
  These models, often touted for their reasoning skills by companies like OpenAI and Google,
• 8:52
  demonstrated catastrophic performance drops when faced with minor changes in mathematical
• 8:57
  word problems.
• 8:59
  The researchers modified a standard benchmark, leading to accuracy reductions between 0.3%
• 9:06
  and 9.2%.
• 9:08
  Additionally, introducing irrelevant details caused accuracy to plummet by up to 66%.
• 9:17
  This underscores the model's reliance on probabilistic pattern matching, rather than
• 9:22
  genuine logical reasoning, highlighting a critical limitation in current artificial
• 9:28
  intelligence technologies.
• 9:30
  And in entertainment news.
• 9:35
  Beetle 64, the latest documentary produced by Martin Scorsese, is set to take fans on
• 9:41
  a nostalgic journey on Disney+.
• 9:45
  This film, directed by David Tedeschi, explores the Beatles' historic first visit to the
• 9:50
  United States.

  Starting on November 29, subscribers can enjoy never-before-seen footage, live performances
• 9:59

• 10:11
  the camaraderie of the band during their meteoric rise to fame.
• 10:16
  Tune in for this exclusive streaming event on Disney+.
• 10:19
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 10:26
  And today, our quote comes from the ancient Greek philosopher, Epictetus.
• 10:32
  And he said,
• 10:33
  The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth
• 10:39
  your best.
• 10:41
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
