• 2:53
  communication between motorists on the autism
• 2:56
  spectrum and police officers, was enacted by

  Massachusetts legislators on Monday. This program
• 3:02
  allows drivers with autism spectrum disorder
• 3:05
  to carry a blue envelope in their vehicle containing
• 3:08
  their license, registration, and diagnosis information.
• 3:13
  Senator Joe Comerford, who spearheaded the bill,
• 3:16
  emphasized that this legislation ensures safer
• 3:18
  interactions during traffic stops, benefiting
• 3:21
  both drivers and emergency responders. The program,
• 3:25
  which was adopted by the Massachusetts State
• 3:28
  Police last year, will now be officially available
• 3:30
  statewide through the Registry of Motor Vehicles.
• 3:38
  Now on to sports. Tuesday was a fun day to be
• 3:43
  a pitcher at the 2026 College World Series. No.
• 3:48
  3 Georgia and No. 16 West Virginia both tossed
• 3:51
  shutouts in their respective elimination games.
• 3:55
  Georgia's Dylan Veague struck out eight longhorns,
• 3:58
  while Justin Bird followed with four punchouts
• 4:01
  as the Bulldogs blanked Texas in a 2 -0 pitcher's
• 4:04
  duel. West Virginia dominated Troy with a 12
• 4:08
  -0 rout. led by Doss and Montessa's impressive
• 4:12
  performance. Each team will need two consecutive
• 4:15
  wins to advance to the championship series. The
• 4:19
  clash between North Carolina and West Virginia
• 4:22
  opens Wednesday at 2 p .m. Eastern time. In local
• 4:26
  sports, the Red Sox fell flat against Toronto
• 4:30
  last night, dropping the opener 6 -1 at Fenway
• 4:33
  and extending their losing streak to two. Peyton
• 4:37
  Tall gave up three earned runs over five innings
• 4:40
  while the Sox managed just four hits. Jaron Duran
• 4:45
  went deep for Boston's lone run, but there wasn't
• 4:48
  nearly enough firepower. At 29 -41, this team's
• 4:53
  struggling. They've won just three of their last
• 4:56
  ten. Tonight's the bounce -back game. Jake Bennett
• 5:00
  takes the mound against Max Terzer in Game 2
• 5:04
  at 6 .45. That's a tough assignment, but Fenway's
• 5:09
  been a refuge for Boston, and they need to show
• 5:11
  some life in front of the home crowd. This is
• 5:15
  a must -win mentality if they don't want to fall
• 5:17
  further behind in the series. The frustration
• 5:20
  around the front office is heating up, too. That
• 5:24
  Raphael Devers trade to San Francisco last year
• 5:27
  is being reexamined, and the real problem's what
• 5:30
  came after. The prospects Boston sent out? Kyle
• 5:34
  Harrison and James Tibbs, I .I. are looking like
• 5:38
  stars now. Harrison's a potential Cy Young candidate
• 5:42
  with Milwaukee, while Tibbs has 19 homers in
• 5:46
  the Dodgers system. It's a painful what -if that
• 5:49
  speaks to some rough decision -making. Meanwhile,
• 5:53
  the Celtics are making noise in the Giannis Antetokounmpo
• 5:57
  sweepstakes. Boston's reportedly made an offer
• 6:00
  for the two -time MVP within the past week. and
• 6:04
  is open to trading almost anybody but Jason Tatum.
• 6:08

• 6:11
  out the Celtics just yet. In top news, Jensen
• 6:17
  Huang, the chief executive officer of NVIDIA,

• 6:30
  this technology could enhance lives. He expressed
• 6:34
  optimism about AI's potential to drive economic
• 6:37
  growth and scientific breakthroughs, while acknowledging
• 6:41
  public concerns about job losses and the technology's
• 6:45
  risks. Huang advocated for government regulation
• 6:48
  and safety standards, prioritizing national security.
• 6:53
  He noted that the United States is lagging in
• 6:56
  energy production, critical for supporting AI

• 9:48
  previously classified globular star clusters,
• 9:51
  Terzen 5 has experienced at least four distinct
• 9:54
  phases of star formation. Two older populations
• 9:58
  formed 12 .5 billion and 4 .7 billion years ago,
• 10:02
  while two younger populations formed 3 .8 billion

  it's time for the quote of the day. And today,
• 11:02
  our quote comes from the American poet and author,
• 11:05
  Langston Hughes. And he said, Hold fast to dreams,
