Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Thursday, October 23rd. You'll be interested

Nations General Assembly met for its inaugural
session in London, uniting representatives to
create a new forum for collective diplomacy.
That gathering marked a major milestone, establishing
procedures and encouraging nations to pursue
shared peace building and cooperative governance
frameworks. So now you know. And now, it's time
for the weather report. This morning, it's sunny
and it feels like 42 degrees, with seven mile

Cape Cod Bay reads 58 degrees for the water temperature.

Sunny mornings send you. The Massachusetts Department
of Elementary and Secondary Education notified
nearly 200 school districts that at least one
student was impacted by an AI grading glitch,
which resulted in hundreds of essays being scored
incorrectly on the MCAS exams. The NBC 10 investigators
obtained the list of 192 school districts through
a public records request. As previously reported,
the technology misgraded about 1 ,400 essays,
which were later re -scored after the error was
detected. Shaleen Title, an adjunct professor
and parent from Malden, expressed her concerns
to the school committee, stating she was unaware
that AI was used for essay grading. She worries
that AI might show bias against students with
disabilities or those learning English as a second
language. Now on to sports. The National Football
League approved minority sales for the San Francisco
49ers, New York Giants, and New England Patriots
at a league meeting in New York on Wednesday.
The 49ers announced a minority investment by
Pete Breiger Jr. and the Breiger family. Pete
Breiger serves as executive chairman at Fortress
Investment Group. and is involved with multiple
boards. Jed York, CEO of the 49ers, welcomed
the Breiger family, emphasizing their shared
commitment to the team's success. Julia Copch

Tyrese Maxey scored 40 points and VJ Edgecombe
added 34 in his NBA debut to help the Philadelphia
76ers rally to beat the Celtics 117 to 116 in
their season opener last night. Edgecombe scored

top news, nearly half of seniors are affected
by a massive recall of a popular prescription
medication. The latest recall involves generic
versions of atorvastatin calcium used by around
47 million Americans to lower bad cholesterol.
The United States Food and Drug Administration
updated a Class II recall notice due to quality
failures. This means the pills may not dissolve
properly and could undermine treatment effectiveness.
Patients should check their prescription bottles
against the FDA notice. If affected, do not stop
taking the medication abruptly and contact your
health care provider for guidance. In business
news, Coca -Cola has officially begun rolling
out soda made with cane sugar across the United
States, following President Donald Trump's urging
to bring back the ingredient to its American
products. A new 12 -ounce, single -serve glass
bottle of Coca -Cola's signature soda made with
United States cane sugar is launching in select
markets nationwide this fall, according to a
spokesperson for the company. The spokesperson
stated that this move offers consumers a classic
and timeless way to enjoy their Coca -Cola original
taste made with United States cane sugar. Coca
-Cola's Chief Financial Officer John Murphy noted
that the launch will be gradual due to limited
availability of cane sugar in the United States.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at about
$109 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to about $3 ,800.

more local vibe. In our community spotlight on
health and wellness, we are working with a national
Pilates studio to bring you some free classes,
so listen up. Check out Club Pilates with several
locations in the Boston area. Pilates presents
a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating
strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental
well -being. Scientific research affirms its
benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates
for a free class. With locations in Canton, Wellesley,
Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure

back to the show. Let's talk science. In a freak
accident, scientists may have unlocked faster
internet for everyone. This discovery could also
enhance artificial intelligence data center's
ability to transfer vast amounts of information
more effectively. Researchers have created a
chip -sized frequency comm, which splits laser
light into multiple colors, each representing
its own optical channel. This new technology
replaces costly and powerful lasers, allowing
for compact, energy -efficient systems. As artificial
intelligence data centers struggle to transmit
data swiftly, this innovation could revolutionize
their operations. Columbia University's Michael
Lipson emphasizes that this progress is vital
for efficient data center infrastructure. And
in entertainment news, Vin Diesel has provided
a hopeful update on Fast and Furious 11 after
rumors of its cancellation surfaced. It has been
nearly two and a half years since Fast Five concluded
on a cliffhanger, leaving fans anxious for the
sequel. Although initially expected to release
in 2026, the film remains without a date, and
concerns about its budget have arisen. In a recent
Instagram post, Diesel shared a video with Michael
Moses, the chief marketing officer at Universal
Pictures, suggesting positive developments. Moses
stated, Out drifting with Dom Toretto planning
everything, we got it solved. As fans await more
news, here's hoping the project is back on track.
Well, all righty, folks. It's time for the quote
of the day. And today, our quote comes from the
American diplomat and Nobel Peace Prize laureate
Ralph Bunch. And he said, Peace, to have meaning
for many who have known only suffering in both
peace and war, must be translated into bread
or rice, shelter, health, and education, as well
as freedom and human dignity. And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
videos with local news and the weather reports.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of
Sunny Mornings in Boston.
