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 --> 00:00:12,920 I'm your host Melissa, and it's Tuesday, September 17th. 3 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,920 You'll be interested to know. 4 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:24,560 237 years ago, today, in 1787, 39 delegates of the Constitutional Convention signed the 5 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:31,080 United States Constitution, marking a pivotal moment in American history. 6 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:35,760 This foundational document established the framework for the federal government, delineated 7 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:41,720 the separation of powers, and enshrined individual liberties, profoundly shaping the nation's 8 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:45,000 political and legal systems. 9 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000 So now you know. 10 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,140 And now, it's time for the weather report. 11 00:00:51,140 --> 00:00:55,760 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny Tuesday, with temperatures reaching around 12 00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,560 80, and a light breeze coming from the south. 13 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:07,200 Tonight, expect mostly cloudy skies with a low of 62 and gentle winds. 14 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:12,320 For all you beach runners out there, the first high tide Tuesday will be at 11, with a low 15 00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:15,680 tide just before 1130. 16 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:23,880 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 69 degrees for the water temperature. 17 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:29,080 Looking ahead in the weather, expect a slight chance of rain showers starting Wednesday 18 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:35,560 afternoon, with mostly cloudy skies and highs near 76 degrees. 19 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:41,680 This pattern continues through Friday, with temperatures dropping to the low 60s at night. 20 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:47,480 Saturday will bring partly sunny skies and cooler highs around 66 degrees. 21 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,560 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 22 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:56,160 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 23 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,660 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 24 00:02:02,660 --> 00:02:05,440 for culinary delights. 25 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,000 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 26 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:15,760 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 27 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,760 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 28 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,200 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 29 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,640 Sunny mornings send you. 30 00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:33,260 In local news, the Boston Athletic Association has announced tighter qualifying standards 31 00:02:33,260 --> 00:02:40,140 for the Boston Marathon, increasing requirements by 5 minutes for all runners under 60. 32 00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:48,040 Starting in 2026, this decision follows a record-breaking 36,406 applications for the 33 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:55,000 2025 race, surpassing last year's record of 33,058. 34 00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:01,260 The cutoff time for the 2025 race remains to be determined, with notifications of acceptance 35 00:03:01,260 --> 00:03:04,240 expected by early October. 36 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:14,040 The 2025 Boston Marathon is scheduled for April 21. 37 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,960 Now on to sports. 38 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,000 Last night on Monday Night Football, the Falcons edged out the Eagles 22-21 in a nail-biter 39 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,040 at Lincoln Financial Field. 40 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:32,600 Yeloku kicked three field goals, but it was Kirk Cousins' seven-yard touchdown pass to 41 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Drake London in the fourth quarter that secured the lead. 42 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:42,000 Sequen Barkley's two-point conversion for the Eagles briefly gave them an advantage, 43 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,880 but a missed opportunity from Jalen Hertz sealed their fate. 44 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:55,100 The Falcons outgained the Eagles with 385 total yards to 365, despite holding the ball for 45 00:03:55,100 --> 00:03:58,520 nearly 11 minutes less. 46 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:04,800 Both teams now stand at 1-1 on the season as they look ahead to next week. 47 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:11,880 In local sports, last night the Sox were off, and tonight they'll look to bounce back against 48 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:19,440 the Rays in Tampa Bay with Nick Pivetta on the mound, who holds a 5-10 record and 4.24 49 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,800 earned run average. 50 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:29,460 The race will counter with Shane Bass, who is 2-3 with a 3.28 ERA. 51 00:04:29,460 --> 00:04:36,200 The Sox hold a slight advantage in ESPN's matchup predictor, with a 51.4% chance to 52 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,200 win. 53 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:44,640 However, Boston is four games back in the wild card race, sitting at 75-75, while Tampa 54 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,440 Trail's closely behind. 55 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:54,300 In top news, TikTok faced a crucial court hearing today, as its future in the United 56 00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:57,120 States hangs in the balance. 57 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,760 Federal judges questioned both the Justice Department and TikTok about a band set to 58 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,000 take effect on January 19. 59 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,460 TikTok argues that shutting down the app would violate the First Amendment rights of its 60 00:05:09,460 --> 00:05:14,000 170 million American users. 61 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:19,460 The judges expressed skepticism about TikTok's claim that free expression outweighs national 62 00:05:19,460 --> 00:05:25,640 security concerns, given its parent company, ByteDance, is based in China. 63 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:31,180 The outcome of this high-stakes legal battle could redefine the balance between free speech 64 00:05:31,180 --> 00:05:35,440 and national security. 65 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:41,880 In business news, on Monday, Microsoft announced its board's approval of a new share buyback 66 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,960 program worth up to $60 billion. 67 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:52,280 The tech giant also declared a quarterly dividend of 83 cents per share, marking a 10% increase 68 00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:54,920 from the previous quarter. 69 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,960 Microsoft plans to hold its annual shareholders meeting on December 10. 70 00:05:59,960 --> 00:06:05,060 The company reported a significant rise in capital spending largely due to artificial 71 00:06:05,060 --> 00:06:12,560 intelligence-related expenses, despite a slowdown in growth for its Azure cloud business. 72 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:18,200 Shares of Microsoft saw a slight increase in aftermarket trading, reflecting a 15% rise 73 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,020 this year. 74 00:06:20,020 --> 00:06:29,320 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $58,000, Ethereum is just under $2,400, and 75 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,560 Solana is $131. 76 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,880 Moving on to a more local vibe. 77 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:43,600 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we

00:07:22,640 And now back to the show. 87 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,080 Let's talk science. 88 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,760 Resistance starch is gaining recognition for its numerous health benefits, including reshaping 89 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,720 the gut microbiome and preventing certain diseases. 90 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,680 Found in foods like green bananas, raw potatoes, and legumes, resistance starch is not digested 91 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:46,160 in the small intestine, but instead ferments in the large intestine, feeding beneficial 92 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:47,880 bacteria. 93 00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:53,680 A study published in Nature Metabolism highlighted that consuming resistant starch can aid weight 94 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:59,440 loss, improve insulin sensitivity, and enhance blood sugar control. 95 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,840 Despite its advantages, most adults in the United States consume significantly less than 96 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:11,440 the recommended 15 grams per day, primarily due to a diet high in processed foods. 97 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,480 And in entertainment news. 98 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,920 This October, prepare for a chilling experience as A24's Eerie series brings unsettling films 99 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,960 back to regal cinemas for a limited engagement. 100 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:31,920 Each week, horror fans can

00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:05,040 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 108 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,720 And today, our quote comes from the American blues musician, B.B. 109 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:10,720 King. 110 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,360 And he said, 111 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:18,480 The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you. 112 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,120 And that's a wrap for this morning. 113 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:27,340 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 114
