• 2:53
  news, Massachusetts' new boating law is now in
• 2:57
  effect, and here is what you need to know. Under
• 3:01
  this law, boaters must complete a safety course
• 3:03
  or face fines. The Hanson Malone Boater Safety
• 3:07
  Act requires motorboat operators to finish a
• 3:10
  state -approved safety course and carry proof
• 3:13
  of certification while on the water. Effective
• 3:17
  April 1st, boat operators born after January
• 3:20
  1st, 1989 must obtain a certificate to legally
• 3:24
  operate a motorboat, while those born on or before
• 3:28
  that date have until April 1st, 2028. This legislation
• 3:33
  is named after David Hansen and Paul Malone,
• 3:37
  advocates for boater safety. Now on to sports.
• 3:46
  Rory McIlroy grew up an ocean away, idolizing
• 3:50
  Tiger Woods, watching deep into the night as
• 3:53
  a seven -year -old when Tiger first won the Masters.
• 3:56
  The kid from Northern Ireland had the game and
• 3:59
  the charisma, so he was paired with his boyhood
• 4:02
  hero in a Nike television advertisement. In a
• 4:05
  world where the concept of a next Tiger seemed
• 4:08
  absurd, someone still had to emerge. McElroy
• 4:12
  never seemed unnerved by the pressure of following
• 4:15
  the supernova that was Woods. He was the chosen
• 4:19
  one, the face of the next generation in a sport
• 4:22
  that needed a lion. In local sports, Mark Kostelik
• 4:27
  scored with nine minutes and 38 seconds remaining,
• 4:30
  leading the Bees to a 3 -2 victory over Columbus,
• 4:34
  snapping a five -game losing streak and securing
• 4:37
  the first Eastern Conference wildcard spot. Sean
• 4:41
  Curley shined against his former team with one
• 4:44
  goal and two assists, while Henry Jokardju added
• 4:48
  a goal and an assist for Boston. Columbus' Mason
• 4:52
  Marchment and Adam Fantilli each scored, but
• 4:55
  the Blue Jackets fell behind in playoff contention
• 4:58
  after losing five of their last seven games.
• 5:02
  Next up, the Bruins will host New Jersey on Tuesday
• 5:05
  night. In top news. Early forecasts suggest this
• 5:11
  year may see the strongest El Nino in a decade,
• 5:15
  bringing with it more extreme weather. Forecasters
• 5:19
  predict the possibility that a powerful super
• 5:22
  El Nino will take effect this year. This phenomenon
• 5:26
  could spur punishing drought in some regions
• 5:28
  and severe storms in others, while also causing
• 5:31
  the Earth's temperature to rise. The National
• 5:34
  Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted
• 5:37
  that El Nino could begin this spring or summer.
• 5:41
  There is a 25 % chance of a very strong El Nino
• 5:45
  and a 50 % chance of a strong El Nino. In business
• 5:51
  news, stocks clinched a second straight winning
• 5:55
  week despite a lackluster session on Friday as
• 5:58
  investors brace for the start of first quarter
• 6:00
  earnings season in the week ahead. Last week,
• 6:04
  the S &P 500 rose more than 3 .5%. The Dow Jones
• 6:09
  Industrial Average rose 3%, while the tech -heavy
• 6:13
  Nasdaq Composite gained over 4%. All three indexes
• 6:18
  remain in the red for the year, but are within
• 6:20
  1 % of erasing all losses. This coming week,
• 6:24
  big bank earnings will feature on the calendar,
• 6:26
  with major firms set to report results. Traders
• 6:30
  will keep close tabs on high -level negotiations
• 6:33
  between the United States and Iran this weekend
• 6:36
  in Pakistan. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down
• 6:41
  1 .5 % over the weekend to $71 ,000. Ethereum
• 6:47

  morning sent you by. And now, back to the show.
• 7:45
  Let's talk tech. This detox may erase 10 years
• 7:49
  of social media brain damage, researchers say.
• 7:53
  Studies show that taking even short breaks could
• 7:56
  reverse measures of cognitive decline. A young
• 8:00
  woman described to a jury what it was like to
• 8:02
  lose control of her life to social media. She
• 8:06
  began as a child, and over time, the habit expanded
• 8:09
  to fill nearly every available hour, with late
• 8:12
  nights bleeding into early mornings, sleep gradually
• 8:15
  displaced. As her use intensified, so did her
• 8:19
  distress. anxiety, depression, and a growing
• 8:23
  fixation on her appearance. In a landmark trial
• 8:26
  against Meta and YouTube, the jury found the
• 8:29
  companies negligent and ordered them to pay her
• 8:32
  $6 million in damages. And in entertainment news,
• 8:39
  The Hunger Games' The Sunrise on the Reaping
• 8:43
  reveals its first footage. Al Fanning, Kieran
• 8:47
  Culkin, and Ralph Fiennes are among the stars
• 8:49
  in this prequel feature directed by Francis Lawrence,
• 8:53
  which Lionsgate releases later this year. The
• 8:56
  movie is gearing up for its big fight. The first
• 9:00
  footage was revealed on Friday, showcasing cast
• 9:03
  members such as Al Fanning as Effie Trinket and
• 9:06
  Ralph Fiennes as President Coriolanus Snow. The
• 9:11
  film hits theaters on November 20th as the latest
• 9:14
  installment in the franchise that began with
• 9:16
  the initial Hunger Games in 2012. The story takes
• 9:20
  place in Payneham. Well, alrighty folks, it's
• 9:25
  time for the quote of the day. And today, our
• 9:29
  quote comes from the American author and motivational
• 9:31
  speaker, Tony Robbins. And he said, The only
• 9:36
  limit to your impact is your imagination and
• 9:39
  commitment. This reflects the theme of human
• 9:42
  problem -solving and teamwork, as demonstrated
• 9:45
  by the Apollo 13 astronauts' resourcefulness
• 9:47
  and ingenuity in overcoming critical challenges.
• 9:52
