Sunny mornings send you. In a recent ranking

two Boston suburbs have been named among the
safest and wealthiest in the United States, with
Lexington taking the impressive second spot and

crime rate of just 2 .93 per 1 ,000 people. while

from the Bay State made the top 50, including
Wellesley, Belmont, and Reading. Now onto sports.
Ohio State has reclaimed the top spot in the
Associated Press Top 25 poll, marking their first
time at number one during the regular season
since 2015. The Buckeyes rose after defeating
Texas 14 -7 in their season opener. In contrast,
Alabama fell out of the Top 20 for the first
time in 17 years, landing at number 21 following
their opening game loss to an unranked opponent.

in a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have
revealed that a small cluster of neurons, known
as the locus coeruleus, controls our thinking
modes. This blue dot, just a few millimeters
in size, influences learning, creativity, focus,
and alertness. By understanding how to shift
gears, individuals can enhance their cognitive
performance. The Locus Corullus has four activity
modes, from sleep to high arousal, affecting
our mental state. Techniques such as meditation,
physical exercise, and task management can help
optimize its function. Ultimately, self -awareness
of this brain mechanism may lead to improved
mental well -being and productivity. In business
news, Connecticut's Ray Dalio believes that income
inequality may be leading the United States toward
autocracy. Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates,
was the richest person in Connecticut in 2023.
He stated that wealth disparity leads to polarization,
which can result in autocratic leadership, calling
it a classic part of the debt cycle. Dalio expressed
concern that the increased wealth and values
gaps lead to populism and irreconcilable differences.
He compared current socioeconomics to the extreme
gaps seen before, during, and after World War
II. Dalio sold his remaining stake in Bridgewater
earlier this year, marking a retirement process.
He also criticized former President Donald Trump's
influence on the Federal Reserve's decision -making
process. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged
at about $111 ,000. Ethereum is down 0 .5 % to
just over $4 ,300. And SRP is up 1%. to $2 .83.

back to the show. Let's talk tech. Wyoming has
chosen Amazon's Project Kuiper over Starlink
for broadband expansion following Colorado's
lead and utilizing the state's broadband equity,
access, and deployment program. This initiative
seeks to provide high -speed internet to over
15 ,000 underserved locations. Wyoming will award
Amazon close to $10 million in subsidies. while
Starlink will serve only 629 locations for $1
million. The proposal highlights that Project
Kuiper aims to deliver download speeds of at
least 150 megabits per second. However, it remains
unclear when Project Kuiper will launch or the
pricing for the service. Dwayne Johnson is generating
Oscar buzz following a powerful performance in
The Smashing Machine at the Venice Film Festival.
The audience erupted into a 15 -minute standing
ovation, leaving the 53 -year -old actor in tears.
Johnson portrays wrestler Mark Kerr alongside
Emily Blunt, who plays Kerr's girlfriend. The
film's director, Benny Safdie, joined in the
emotional moment. as Kerr himself was moved during
the credits. Johnson's transformation for the
role involved significant prosthetics, showcasing
his desire to explore deeper narratives. The
Smashing Machine will be released by A24 in November,
marking Safdie's solo directorial debut. Well,
alrighty, folks. It's time for the quote of the
day. And today, our quote comes from the American

and the courage to press on to your destination.
