news, Massport has designated the owners of several
Boston marinas to take over an aging working
jetty in the seaport, according to the Boston
Globe. This decision is significant as it will
introduce a new use to one of the last empty
parcels on the South Boston waterfront. Boston
Marine Terminal Limited Liability Company, owned
by Chuck and Anne Lagasse, will redevelop the
16 -acre North Jetty site at the Raymond L. Flynn
Marine Park. The Lagasse family, who own several
Boston Harbor marinas, will manage ship repair
and freight operations while rebuilding the deteriorating
1 ,000 -foot space. Massport will contribute
$20 million in state money for these repairs,
with the potential to add 400 jobs. Now onto
sports. Christian McCaffrey gained 142 yards
from scrimmage and scored a touchdown in his
first game against Carolina since he was traded
away three years ago, leading the San Francisco
49ers to a 20 -9 victory over the Panthers on
Monday night football. McCaffrey's big night
helped the 49ers, with an overall record of eight
wins and four losses, overcome three interceptions
by Brock Purdy in the first half. Bryce Young
and the Panthers, with a record of six wins and
six losses, struggled to capitalize on opportunities.
Young completed 169 passing yards with one touchdown
and one interception. The 49ers went conservative
in the second half, relying mostly on McCaffrey
and short passes. In local sports, After avoiding
the injury bug for most of the season, the Pats
faced serious losses in their weak 12 -win against
the Bengals. Starting lineman Jared Wilson was
carted off after the first drive, followed by
rookie left tackle Will Campbell later in the
game. Fortunately, on Monday morning, updates
about their injuries brought some good news.
Campbell suffered an MCL sprain that should only
sideline him for a few weeks. Well, Wilson is
expected to recover from a high ankle sprain
in time for the playoff. This news is crucial
for the Patriots' playoff hopes. In top news,
scientists searching for new ways to combat cancer
may have uncovered a promising lead in the DNA
of the bowhead whale. The findings published
in the journal Nature highlight how long -lived
animals like the bowhead manage to avoid cancer
despite having more cells. Vera Gorbanova, a
biologist at the University of Rochester, suggests
these animals have evolved additional protections
from cancer. The bowhead whale utilizes a protein
that excels at repairing broken DNA, maintaining
healthy cells and preventing mutations, rather
than eliminating malignant ones. This research
could ultimately benefit human health and provide
insights into cancer resistance in various species.
In business news, the S &P 493 reveals a very

number of artificial intelligence -focused companies.

Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Tesla. Economists
express concerns about other companies not benefiting
from this AI investment boom. The S &P 493 shows
weaker performance among smaller firms. highlighting

now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Scientists
observed a man move energy with his mind, leading
to classified research. In a Stanford laboratory,
an unexplained event triggered years of secret
psychic studies during the Cold War. The concept
suggests that the mind may manipulate the surrounding
world. In 1972, an artist named Ingo Swan allegedly
altered a magnetic field in a sealed vacuum chamber
simply by thinking. This incident initiated Project
Stargate, one of the most surreal programs in
United States government history. The government
aimed to train psychic spies who could see across
time and space through remote viewing techniques.

horror franchise after scrapping a trilogy planned
around 2023's The Exorcist Believer. Flanagan
stated, Scarlett is a brilliant actress whose
captivating performances always feel grounded
and real. The film, which will be the franchise's
seventh from as many directors, is set to shoot
in New York City. Flanagan's film will tell an
all -new story set in the Exorcist universe.
Despite a global gross of roughly $137 million,
Believer faced financial underperformance and
critical reviews. Flanagan describes his Exorcist
movie as the scariest movie I've ever made. Well,
