  In local news…
• 2:41
  A 7-foot pregnant poor beagle shark was tracked off Bermuda, but unexpectedly her tag pinged
• 2:48
  inside a larger creature.
• 2:51
  Researchers caught the shark off Cape Cod, fitting her with satellite tags to study her
• 2:56
  migration.
• 2:58
  After 158 days, the tag transmitted from Bermuda, revealing she had been at varying depths and
• 3:04
  temperatures.
• 3:06
  Tragically, the data indicated she had been eaten by a larger predator, likely a great
• 3:11
  white shark or short fin mako.
• 3:15
  This surprising finding highlights the complexity of predator interactions in the ocean, prompting
• 3:20
  further investigation into these dynamics and their ecosystem impacts.
• 3:31
  Now on to sports.
• 3:33
  Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs edged the Baltimore Ravens 27 to 20.
• 3:39
  Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns and 281 yards, while Lamar Jackson led the Ravens
• 3:46
  with 267 yards and a rushing touchdown.
• 3:51
  Despite a late Baltimore push, the Chiefs' defense held strong to secure the win.
• 3:57
  Tomorrow, the Packers will face the Eagles at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
• 4:04
  Jordan Love leads Green Bay in their season opener, looking to take on a tough Philadelphia
• 4:09
  defense, while Jalen Hurts and the Eagles aim to kick off their season on a strong note.
• 4:16
  Philadelphia enters the game as the favorite, but with injuries in their secondary, Green
• 4:21
  Bay could capitalize if Love can find his rhythm.
• 4:26
  In local sports.
• 4:28
  Last weekend, Boston College dominated Florida State, and will now look to build on that

  momentum against a case in tomorrow at 3.30.

  In NLF action, the Pats kick off their season against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at

  In top news.
• 5:21
  A new study from Stanford University reveals that aging occurs in two significant bursts,
• 5:29
  one in our mid-40s and another in our early 60s.
• 5:33
  This challenges the traditional belief that aging is a gradual process.
• 5:39
  Molecular changes during these periods can explain sudden signs of aging, like wrinkles,
• 5:44
  sagging skin, and increased vulnerability to infections.
• 5:49
  The study analyzed data from blood and other samples of participants aged 25 to 75, showing
• 5:56
  that many molecular changes occur around ages 44 and 60.
• 6:02
  Using these shifts can help individuals and health care professionals prepare for and
• 6:06
  potentially manage the effects of aging.
• 6:11
  In business news.
• 6:14
  Investors are feeling anxious as Wall Street prepares for a significant jobs report due
• 6:18
  today.
• 6:21
  Inflation has eased since the Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates more than
• 6:25
  two years ago.
• 6:28
  Now the focused shifts to employment.
• 6:31
  Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that a rate cut is likely this month, but
• 6:36
  the extent remains uncertain.
• 6:39
  Economists predict that employers added 160,000 jobs in August, with the unemployment rate
• 6:45
  dropping to 4.2%.
• 6:48
  With mixed stock performances and signs of a cooling job market, uncertainty looms large
• 6:54
  ahead of this crucial economic data.
• 6:58
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $56,700.
• 7:04
  Ethereum is just under $2,400.
• 7:08
  And Solana is $130.

  And now, back to the show.
• 8:01
  Let's talk science.
• 8:02
  A roughly one-meter asteroid, which is about three feet, burned up in Earth's atmosphere
• 8:08
  over the Philippines near Luzon Island this week.
• 8:12
  According to NASA, the impact occurred at 1239 in the afternoon Eastern time.
• 8:19
  The European Space Agency reported that the object, now known as 2024 Ardu-1, was discovered
• 8:26
  earlier that day.
• 8:28
  These small asteroids hit Earth approximately every two weeks, but they are rarely detected
• 8:34
  prior to impact.
• 8:36
  This event marked only the ninth time an asteroid was spotted before entering the atmosphere,
• 8:42
  creating a spectacular fireball visible to sky gazers.
• 8:49
  And in entertainment news, on Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged a North Carolina musician,
• 8:56
  Michael Smith, with defrauding streaming services of $10 million through an elaborate scheme
• 9:02
  involving artificial intelligence.
• 9:06
  Smith allegedly created hundreds of thousands of fake songs by non-existent bands, then
• 9:12
  used bots to stream them, and collect royalties from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
• 9:19
  The charges include wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy, with a potential 20-year prison
• 9:25
  sentence for each charge.
• 9:27
  Over seven years, Smith's fabricated catalog reportedly amassed billions of streams, utilizing
• 9:34
  unique artists' names and titles to blend in with legitimate acts.
• 9:38
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 9:44
  And today, our quote comes from the American martial artist and actor, Chuck Norris.
• 9:51
  And he said,
• 9:52
  I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way.
• 9:58
  And you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles en route to whatever
• 10:04
  it is that you want to accomplish.
• 10:08
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
• 10:10
