00:01:19.159 --> 00:01:21.560

<v Speaker 2>PGA Championship happens at Quail Hollow in Florida. New research

30
00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:29.079
<v Speaker 2>this morning suggests Alzheimer's disease as a ticking time bomb

31
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:33.560
<v Speaker 2>that can be detected long before full symptoms typically arrive.

32
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:37.560
<v Speaker 2>In fact, scientists say hints there are there decades ahead

33
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:40.319
<v Speaker 2>of the full onset of the disease. The report comes

34
00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:43.079
<v Speaker 2>in a version of this week's British medical journal The Lancet,

35
00:01:43.239 --> 00:01:46.439
<v Speaker 2>and it shows the earliest signs can begin to emerge

36
00:01:46.480 --> 00:01:49.439
<v Speaker 2>in patients as young as their mid twenties. It's an

37
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>entirely new look that has even experts taking a second glance.

38
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:56.959
<v Speaker 2>Doctors say the best medicine is still living a healthy lifestyle,

39
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.400
<v Speaker 2>stay active, and keep the mind sharp to keep these

40
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:04.359
<v Speaker 2>at bay. A State Police crime lab expert will return

41
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.560

42
00:02:06.599 --> 00:02:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Reid trial. This morning, CBS News Boston's Christina Rack says

43
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:13.039
<v Speaker 2>the jury learns more about a relationship on the rocks

44
00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:14.919
<v Speaker 2>between Reed and John O'Keefe.

45
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.919
<v Speaker 4>O'Keefe became a primary caretaker for his niece and nephew

46
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 4>after their mother his sister died in twenty thirteen. The

47
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:25.280
<v Speaker 4>niece testified about Reid and O'Keefe's relationship in January twenty

48
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:28.400
<v Speaker 4>twenty two, saying quote, I could tell that there was tension.

49
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:29.960
<v Speaker 3>They were cold towards each other.

50
00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 4>And she referenced the alleged cheating incident in Aruba that

51
00:02:33.479 --> 00:02:35.639
<v Speaker 4>Karen Reid had texted Brian Higgins.

52
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.439
<v Speaker 3>About he hooked up with another girl on vacation. I

53
00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 3>am very close to his niece. It is a very

54
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.479
<v Speaker 3>up situation.

55
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 4>O'keef's niece said, quote, Karen Reid started yelling about like

56
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 4>how he had kissed someone else and she had witnessed it.

57
00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 3>It was really loud. She was very upset.

58
00:02:51.639 --> 00:02:54.280
<v Speaker 4>The morning O'Keeffe died, his niece said she heard Karen

59
00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:56.680
<v Speaker 4>Reid on the phone say could I have done something?

60
00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:58.000
<v Speaker 3>Could he have been hit by a plow?

61
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>The teenager also testifies read thought she was living in

62
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:05.319
<v Speaker 2>a nightmare. Uber's got something upsit sleeve that's new and

63
00:03:05.479 --> 00:03:06.560
<v Speaker 2>it comes with more.

64
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>Seats imagine a bus with predetermined pickup and drop off

65
00:03:10.599 --> 00:03:14.280
<v Speaker 1>locations on a specific route during weekday commuting hours. Now

66
00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:17.240
<v Speaker 1>replace that with an Uber shuttle. That's the service that

67
00:03:17.319 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the right share company is offering, named Uber root Share.

68
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Some see the benefits.

69
00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:25.840
<v Speaker 3>I think it probably could work well. Personally, I probably don't.

70
00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:27.759
<v Speaker 4>Think I take advantage of it, but I can see

71
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:29.560
<v Speaker 4>how it would work for a lot of people to

72
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 4>fill in the gaps.

73
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:33.400
<v Speaker 1>But not everyone is on board esse yet. I take

74
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the tea back and forth to work, and I jump

75
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>a ride.

76
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:40.400
<v Speaker 3>It puts later in the day. So I never took Uber,

77
00:03:40.439 --> 00:03:42.120
<v Speaker 3>so I would never take it Live ticket.

78
00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:45.360
<v Speaker 1>The new right share option launched Wednesday in selects cities,

79

82
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.520
<v Speaker 1>May be embedded with some thunderstorms as well. Not far

83
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:04.240
<v Speaker 1>from the city, pretty much surrounding the city out in

84
00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>portions of Metro West and on the south Shore, a

85
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:10.199
<v Speaker 1>heavy band of rain is moving through the area. Otherwise

86
00:04:10.439 --> 00:04:12.560

90
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in the fifties, and it looks like any fog will

91
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>be left over to greet us tomorrow morning. It looks

92
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>like we're gonna start off on a cloudy note tomorrow,

93
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:31.839
<v Speaker 1>but there are some chances of sunshine in the afternoon.

<v Speaker 1>It's going to be very warm and very humid tomorrow,

95
00:04:34.319 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>with highs at least in the low to mid seventies.

96
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.519

98

99
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 1>It certainly will not be a washout, but it doesn't

100
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>look like we're going to get away with it scott

<v Speaker 2>for the way this deal is being constructed, which would

131
00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.480
