  Sunny mornings send you.
• 3:12
  In local news, the New Era Company has acquired the sports lifestyle brand 47, a Boston-based
• 3:20
  company with deep roots in the local sports community.
• 3:25
  This acquisition merges two family-founded brands and is expected to generate around
• 3:30
  $2 billion in annual revenue.
• 3:34
  The combined entity aims to expand its product portfolio and enhance its licensing partnerships
• 3:39
  with major sports leagues and events globally.
• 3:43
  47 will continue to operate from its headquarters in Westwood, Massachusetts, while New Era
• 3:49
  remains in Buffalo, New York.
• 3:56
  Now on to sports.
• 3:58
  Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are finding their rhythm after a tough start to the season.
• 4:05
  In a recent game against the Washington Mystics, Clark dazzled with five consecutive three-pointers,
• 4:11
  finishing with 30 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and four steals.
• 4:17
  Despite early struggles and intense media scrutiny, the Fever are learning to navigate
• 4:22
  the pressures and improve their gameplay.
• 4:25
  As Clark continues to shine, Indiana hopes this marks a turning point for a more successful
• 4:31
  season.
• 4:33
  In local sports, tonight, the Sox are back at it, taking on the Phillies at Fenway Park.
• 4:43
  In top news, Dr. Paul Tierstein of Scripps Clinic is the first in Southern California
• 4:50
  to use a drug-coated balloon to clear a clogged stent in a heart vessel.
• 4:55
  The procedure performed at Scripps Memorial Hospital utilizes the Agent drug-coated balloon
• 5:01
  from Boston Scientific, which was recently approved by the FDA.
• 5:07
  This innovative treatment targets in-stent rastinosis, offering a new option that reduces
• 5:13
  the need for repeat procedures and subsequent heart attacks by 50%, significantly benefiting
• 5:19
  patients with recurrent coronary artery disease.
• 5:24
  In business news, risky startups like Aptera Motors and Boxable are leveraging crowdfunding
• 5:33
  and digital marketing to raise millions from novice investors.
• 5:38
  Aptera, promising solar cars, and Boxable, touting tiny houses, have raised $170 million
• 5:46
  collectively.
• 5:48
  However, both have struggled with production and transparency.
• 5:53
  The SEC's regulation exemption, designed to help smaller companies, has enabled these
• 5:58
  startups to attract significant funding despite limited oversight, leading to potential risks
• 6:04
  for inexperienced investors who often receive less transparency and fewer rights compared
• 6:10
  to professional financiers.
• 6:13
  In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,000.
• 6:19
  Ethereum is $3,500.
• 6:22
  And Solana is $154.
• 6:28
  Moving on to a more local vibe.
• 6:30
  In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio
• 6:37
  to bring you some free classes, so listen up.
• 6:41
  Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the Boston area.
• 6:46
  Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension,
• 6:51
  and elevating mental well-being.
• 6:54
  Scientific research affirms its benefits.
• 6:58
  So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class.
• 7:02
  With locations in Canton, Wellesley, Hingham, Brookline, and Framingham, just be sure to
• 7:08
  tell them Sunny Morning sent you by.
• 7:12
  And now back to the show.
• 7:16
  Let's talk science.
• 7:18
  Supercapacitors, which combine battery design with capacitor physics, could soon surpass
• 7:23
  batteries in power efficiency.
• 7:26
  Unlike batteries, which deteriorate over time due to chemical reactions, supercapacitors
• 7:32
  store energy on the surface, preventing wear.
• 7:36
  New research by Ankur Gupta from the University of Colorado Boulder introduces a model to
• 7:41
  study supercapacitors more effectively, simulating thousands of charge-storing pores quickly.
• 7:48
  This advancement aims to enhance supercapacitor design, potentially revolutionizing energy
• 7:54
  storage with faster, more efficient energy release, ultimately improving the performance
• 7:59
  of devices from mobile phones to electric cars.
• 8:03
  And in entertainment news.
• 8:09
  Brian Steele, Young Thug's lead attorney, was held in contempt and taken into custody
• 8:14
  after accusing Judge Ural Glanville and prosecutors of an improper meeting with a key witness.
• 8:22
  Steele claimed the meeting with witness Kenneth Copeland involved coercion.
• 8:27
  The judge demanded Steele reveal his source for this information and, upon refusal, sentenced
• 8:33
  him to 20 days in jail to be served on weekends.
• 8:37
  The trial, already the longest in Georgia history, continues amidst these dramatic legal
• 8:42
  disputes.
• 8:43
  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
• 8:50
  And today, our quote comes from the award-winning director of ET, Steven Spielberg.
• 8:57
  And he said, Remember, science fiction's always been the
• 9:01
  kind of first-level alert to think about things to come.
• 9:05
  It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching
• 9:10
  to them.
• 9:12
  Every science fiction movie I've ever seen, anyone that's worth its weight in celluloid,
• 9:17
  warns us about things that ultimately come true.
• 9:22
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
• 9:24
  You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
