1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,880 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:12,840 I'm your host Melissa, and it's Friday, September 6th. 3 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:14,800 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:26,400 29 years ago, today, in 1995, Cal Ripken Jr., the Ironman, played in his 2,131st consecutive 5 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:33,280 game, surpassing Lou Gehrig's record, which had stood for more than 56 years. 6 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,760 This remarkable achievement highlighted Ripken's endurance and dedication, cementing his legacy 7 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,960 in the sport of baseball. 8 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,960 So now you know. 9 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:49,100 And now, it's time for the weather report. 10 00:00:49,100 --> 00:00:53,400 It looks like we're in for a slight chance of drizzle early this morning, but it should 11 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:59,800 turn partly sunny later, with a high around 74 and a gentle northeast breeze. 12 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:07,320 Tonight, we'll have mostly cloudy skies, a low of 60 and light winds. 13 00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:12,640 For all you peach runners out there, the first low tide Friday will be at 8, with a high 14 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600 tide at 9. 15 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:22,600 The nearshore gooey at Cape Cod Bay reads 68 degrees for the water temperature. 16 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,480 Looking ahead in the weather, expect partly sunny skies on Saturday, with a high near 17 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:33,000 79 degrees and a northeast wind. 18 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:38,160 There is a chance of rain showers Saturday night, turning mostly cloudy with a low around 19 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,000 57 degrees. 20 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:46,240 Sunday brings a slight chance of rain before 7 in the morning, then sunny with a high near 21 00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,560 73 degrees. 22 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:56,080 The clear nights ahead will have lows around 54 to 58 degrees, with west winds each day. 23 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:01,240 Tuesday will be sunny and a bit warmer, with a high near 81 degrees. 24 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,560 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 25 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:09,160 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 26 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:15,660

00:02:32,760 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 31 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,200 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 32 00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,640 Sunny mornings send you! 33 00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:41,520 In local news… 34 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:48,360 A 7-foot pregnant poor beagle shark was tracked off Bermuda, but unexpectedly her tag pinged 35 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,640 inside a larger creature. 36 00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:56,120 Researchers caught the shark off Cape Cod, fitting her with satellite tags to study her 37 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,000 migration. 38 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,600 After 158 days, the tag transmitted from Bermuda, revealing she had been at varying depths and 39 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,080 temperatures. 40 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:11,680 Tragically, the data indicated she had been eaten by a larger predator, likely a great 41 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,360 white shark or short fin mako. 42 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:20,600 This surprising finding highlights the complexity of predator interactions in the ocean, prompting 43 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:31,040 further investigation into these dynamics and their ecosystem impacts. 44 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,960 Now on to sports. 45 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,960 Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs edged the Baltimore Ravens 27 to 20. 46 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns and 281 yards, while Lamar Jackson led the Ravens 47 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:51,760 with 267 yards and a rushing touchdown. 48 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:57,200 Despite a late Baltimore push, the Chiefs' defense held strong to secure the win. 49 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:04,120 Tomorrow, the Packers will face the Eagles at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 50 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:09,640 Jordan Love leads Green Bay in their season opener, looking to take on a tough Philadelphia 51 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,040 defense, while Jalen Hurts and the Eagles aim to kick off their season on a strong note. 52 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,120 Philadelphia enters the game as the favorite, but with injuries in their secondary, Green 53 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:26,000 Bay could capitalize if Love can find his rhythm. 54 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,400 In local sports. 55 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:33,660 Last weekend, Boston College dominated Florida State, and will now look to build on that 56 00:04:33,660 --> 00:04:37,960 momentum against a case in tomorrow at 3.30. 57 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,800 The Eagles are heavily favored, with a 99% chance of victory. 58 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:48,880 Meanwhile, the Red Sox, sitting at 70 and 70, are set to face the Chicago White Sox 59 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,640 at Fenway Park tonight. 60 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:59,120 Nick Pivetta takes the mound for Boston, carrying a record of 5 and 10 with a 4.53 ERA, while 61 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,380 Chicago's Davis Martin will oppose him, sporting a 3.62 ERA. 62 00:05:05,380 --> 00:05:11,360 In NLF action, the Pats kick off their season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at 63 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,360 1 p.m. 64 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Cincinnati, led by Joe Burrow, is favored with a 75% chance of winning. 65 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:21,680 In top news. 66 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:29,280 A new study from Stanford University reveals that aging occurs in two significant bursts, 67 00:05:29,280 --> 00:05:33,920 one in our mid-40s and another in our early 60s. 68 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:39,720 This challenges the traditional belief that aging is a gradual process. 69 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,800 Molecular changes during these periods can explain sudden signs of aging, like wrinkles, 70 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,920 sagging skin, and increased vulnerability to infections. 71 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:56,560 The study analyzed data from blood and other samples of participants aged 25 to 75, showing 72 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,680 that many molecular changes occur around ages 44 and 60. 73 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,960 Using these shifts can help individuals and health care professionals prepare for and 74 00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:11,600 potentially manage the effects of aging. 75 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,280 In business news. 76 00:06:14,280 --> 00:06:18,840 Investors are feeling anxious as Wall Street prepares for a significant jobs report due 77 00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,200 today. 78 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,560 Inflation has eased since the Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates more than 79 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,040 two years ago. 80 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,080 Now the focused shifts to employment. 81 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,080 Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that a rate cut is likely this month, but 82 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,720 the extent remains uncertain. 83 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:45,760 Economists predict that employers added 160,000 jobs in August, with the unemployment rate 84 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,840 dropping to 4.2%. 85 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:54,200 With mixed stock performances and signs of a cooling job market, uncertainty looms large 86 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,080 ahead of this crucial economic data. 87 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:04,480 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $56,700. 88 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:08,160 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 89 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:12,840 And Solana is $130. 90 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,480 Moving on to a more local vibe. 91 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:22,160 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 92 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,240 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 93 00:07:26,240 -->

one-meter asteroid, which is about three feet, burned up in Earth's atmosphere 103 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:12,440 over the Philippines near Luzon Island this week. 104 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:19,040 According to NASA, the impact occurred at 1239 in the afternoon Eastern time. 105 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:26,560 The European Space Agency reported that the object, now known as 2024 Ardu-1, was discovered 106 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:28,960 earlier that day. 107 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:34,000 These small asteroids hit Earth approximately every two weeks, but they are rarely detected 108 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,400 prior to impact. 109 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:42,440 This event marked only the ninth time an asteroid was spotted before entering the atmosphere, 110 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:49,680 creating a spectacular fireball visible to sky gazers. 111 00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:56,640 And in entertainment news, on Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged a North Carolina musician, 112 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,840 Michael Smith, with defrauding streaming services of $10 million through an elaborate scheme 113 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,720 involving artificial intelligence. 114 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:12,080 Smith allegedly created hundreds of thousands of fake songs by non-existent bands, then 115 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:19,680 used bots to stream them, and collect royalties from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. 116 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:25,080 The charges include wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy, with a potential 20-year prison 117 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,880 sentence for each charge. 118 00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Over seven years, Smith's fabricated catalog reportedly amassed billions of streams, utilizing 119 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,880 unique artists' names and titles to blend in with legitimate acts. 120 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:44,640 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 121 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:51,640 And today, our quote comes from the American martial artist and actor, Chuck Norris. 122 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:52,640 And he said, 123 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,280 I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way. 124 00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:04,480 And you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles en route to whatever 125 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:08,360 it is that you want to accomplish. 126 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,920 And that's a wrap for this morning. 127 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:16,720 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 128 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,120 with local news and the weather reports. 129 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,400 Have an amazing weekend, my good friends. 130 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:39,200 We'll see you Monday with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
