Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, September 17th.
You'll be interested to know.
237 years ago, today in 1787.
39 delegates of the Constitutional Convention signed the United States Constitution, marking
a pivotal moment in American history.
This foundational document established the framework for the federal government, delineated
the separation of powers, and enshrined individual liberties, profoundly shaping the nation's
political and legal systems.
So now you know.
And now, it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect neat at thy high swell from Tuesday through Friday.
On Tuesday morning, conditions will be glassy with light offshore winds, turning bumpy in

Wednesday and Thursday mornings will also be glassy with light variable winds, becoming
semi-choppy in the afternoon.
Friday morning starts glassy with light offshore winds, shifting to onshore later.
Tuesday in Encinitas and in North County.
It's looking fair to clean out there at 2 feet until 1.
After that, it's looking pretty choppy.
Best time to ride is at 9 a.m. with a 5-foot high tide when the west swell is 1 feet at

In local news, a former Camp Pendleton Marine, Christian Ferreri, has been sentenced to 37
months in federal prison for illegally selling nearly two dozen un-serialized ghost guns
to undercover officers.
The 23-year-old pleaded guilty to selling 22 rifles for nearly $24,000.
Authorities learned of the sales in January of 2023.
During sentencing, U.S. District Judge Cynthia Baschent noted Ferreri's stupid choices
and his responsibility for potential harm.
Despite prosecutors seeking a longer sentence, Baschent considered his lack of a criminal
record in youth, emphasizing that he was fortunate no one was harmed by his actions.
Now on to sports.
Last night on Monday Night Football, the Falcons edged out the Eagles 22-21 in a nail-biter
at Lincoln Financial Field.
Yellow Coup kicked three field goals, but it was Kirk Cousins' seven-yard touchdown
pass to Drake London in the fourth quarter that secured the lead.
Saquon Barkley's two-point conversion for the Eagles briefly gave them an advantage,
but a missed opportunity from Jalen Hertz sealed their fate.
The Falcons outgained the Eagles with 385 total yards to 365, despite holding the ball for
nearly 11 minutes less.
Both teams now stand at 1-1 on the season as they look ahead to next week.
In local sports.
Last night, the Padres took down the Astros 3-1 at Petco Park, powered by a strong pitching
performance from Michael King, who improved to 13-9.
King allowed just one run over 6-2 innings, while Manning Machado and Jurikson Profar
provided the offense.
Machado's pursed-inning RBI double set the tone and Merrill Holmert in the fourth.
Profar added a late insurance run with a solo shot in the eighth.
Despite allowing six hits, the Padres' pitching staff held the Astros to just one run, and
Robert Suarez picked up his 33rd save.
Tonight, the Padres will look to keep their momentum going as they face the Astros in
game two of the series.
With San Diego sitting three and a half games back in the NL West, every win is crucial
as they try to secure a playoff spot.
Houston, still leading the AL West, will aim to bounce back with Hunter Brown on the mound.
In top news, TikTok faced a crucial court hearing today, as its future in the United
States hangs in the balance.
Federal judges questioned both the Justice Department and TikTok about a ban set to take
effect on January 19.
TikTok argues that shutting down the app would violate the First Amendment rights of its
170 million American users.
The judges expressed skepticism about TikTok's claim that free expression outweighs national
security concerns, given its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China.
The outcome of this high-stakes legal battle could redefine the balance between free speech
and national security.
In business news, on Monday, Microsoft announced its board's approval of a new share buyback
program worth up to $60 billion.
The tech giant also declared a quarterly dividend of 83 cents per share, marking a 10% increase
from the previous quarter.
Microsoft plans to hold its annual shareholders meeting on December 10.
The company reported a significant rise in capital spending largely due to artificial
intelligence-related expenses, despite a slowdown in growth for its Azure cloud business.
Shares of Microsoft saw a slight increase in aftermarket trading, reflecting a 15% rise
this year.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $58,000, Ethereum is just under $2,400, and
Solana is $131.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Resistance starch is gaining recognition for its numerous health benefits, including reshaping
the gut microbiome and preventing certain diseases.
Found in foods like green bananas, raw potatoes, and legumes, resistance starch is not digested
in the small intestine, but instead ferments in the large intestine, feeding beneficial
bacteria.
A study published in Nature Metabolism highlighted that consuming resistance starch can aid weight
loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance blood sugar control.
Despite its advantages, most adults in the United States consume significantly less than
the recommended 15 grams per day, primarily due to a diet high in processed foods.
