  Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
• 0:05
  Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
• 0:09
  and it's Tuesday, December 9th. Say hello to
• 0:14
  my little friend. 42 years ago, today, in 1983.

  Scarface hit theaters, introducing Al Pacino's
• 0:25
  unforgettable role as Cuban refugee turned Miami
• 0:28
  drug kingpin. Tony Montana. The Brian DePalma
• 0:33
  film, written by Oliver Stone, earned mixed early
• 0:36
  reviews, but went on to become a box office success
• 0:39
  and a lasting pop culture icon. So now you know.
• 0:45
  And now it's time for the weather report. This
• 0:51
  morning, it's sunny and it feels like six degrees
• 0:54
  with four mile per hour wind. The sunset will
• 0:59
  take place at 410, and it will rise again tomorrow
• 1:02
  at 701. It looks like we're in for a sunny Tuesday
• 1:06
  with a high near 30 and a light southwest breeze
• 1:09
  at 3 to 8 miles per hour. Tonight, expect a chance
• 1:15
  of snow between 8 p .m. and 4 a .m., turning
• 1:18
  mostly cloudy, with a low around 26, and a southwest
• 1:23
  wind at 10 miles per hour. For all you beach
• 1:26
  runners out there, the first low tide Tuesday
• 1:29
  will be just before 8, with a high tide just
• 1:32
  before 230. The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay
• 1:37
  reads 46 degrees for the water temperature. Looking
• 1:42
  ahead in the weather. Wednesday will be mostly
• 1:46
  cloudy with rain and snow likely and a high near
• 1:49
  46, with a southwest wind around 10 miles per

  to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. Bridgewater
• 2:51
  has declared a water supply emergency and is
• 2:55
  urging residents to limit indoor water use. This
• 2:59
  decision aims to expedite a temporary water connection
• 3:02
  with Middleborough to address ongoing issues,
• 3:05
  including brown water. William Young, Bridgewater's
• 3:09
  water superintendent, emphasized, we are addressing
• 3:13
  this matter with the utmost seriousness in the
• 3:16
  emergency declaration. Residents have been encouraged
• 3:19
  to adopt conservation practices, such as shorter
• 3:22
  showers and only running dishwashers and washing
• 3:25
  machines when full. Yale warned that the connection
• 3:28
  may lead to temporary brown water in several
• 3:31
  neighborhoods due to changes in water flow. Town
• 3:35
  officials estimate that upgrades to municipal
• 3:37
  wells may take two years to complete. Now onto
• 3:46
  sports. The Baltimore Ravens lost 27 -22 to the
• 3:52
  Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and one controversial
• 3:55
  call in the fourth quarter played a major role
• 3:57
  in this significant game. Both teams entered
• 4:01
  with 6 -6 records, but arrived at them in completely
• 4:05
  opposite ways. With less than three minutes to
• 4:08
  go, quarterback Lamar Jackson appeared to find
• 4:11
  tight end Isaiah Likely for a 13 -yard touchdown.
• 4:16
  Initially ruled a touchdown, the call was overturned
• 4:19
  upon review, as likely did not make a football
• 4:22
  move. The Steelers held on for the win, moving
• 4:26
  to 7 -6, while the Ravens fell to 10th place
• 4:29
  and are now two games behind the Indianapolis
• 4:32
  Colts for the final playoff spot. And last night
• 4:36
  on Monday Night Football, the Chargers pulled
• 4:38
  ahead in overtime to defeat the Philadelphia
• 4:41
  Eagles in a thrilling 22 -19 win. This victory
• 4:45
  marked the biggest win of the season for a Chargers
• 4:48
  team that seemed to be spiraling out of playoff
• 4:51
  contention. Quarterback Justin Herbert, just
• 4:55
  a week after surgery on a fracture in his left
• 4:57
  hand, rushed for 66 yards. The Chargers defense
• 5:02
  forced five turnovers from Super Bowl MVP Jalen
• 5:06
  Hurts, including a crucial interception in overtime.
• 5:10
  Next, the Chargers face the Kansas City Chiefs.
• 5:13
  while the Eagles meet the Las Vegas Raiders in
• 5:17
  local sports. The St. Louis Blues host the Bruins
• 5:21
  after Brayden Shen scored two goals in the Blues'
• 5:25
  4 -3 win against the Montreal Canadiens. St.
• 5:30
  Louis has a record of 5 wins, 6 losses, and 4
• 5:34
  overtime losses at home, and 11 wins, 12 losses,
• 5:38
  and 7 overtime losses overall. The Blues have
• 5:42
  a scoring differential of negative 25, with 77
• 5:47
  goals scored and 102 goals conceded. Boston has
• 5:52
  a record of 6 wins and 8 losses in road games,
• 5:56
  and 17 wins and 13 losses overall. The two teams
• 6:00
  meet Tuesday for the second time this season,
• 6:03
  with the Bruins winning the previous matchup
• 6:05
  5 -2. In top news, The Supreme Court appeared
• 6:12
  poised Monday to expand the president's power
• 6:14
  to fire heads of many regulatory agencies, despite
• 6:18
  one pivotal justice expressing a desire to insulate
• 6:21
  the Federal Reserve from political pressure.
• 6:25
  During two and a half hours of oral arguments,
• 6:28
  justices probed the limits of President Trump's
• 6:30
  assertion of virtually unfettered authority to
• 6:33
  remove agency leaders. Justice Brett Kavanaugh
• 6:37
  raised concerns about a broad victory for Trump
• 6:40
  jeopardizing the independence of the Federal
• 6:42
  Reserve's Board of Governors. Justice Alina Kagan
• 6:46
  warned that increasing presidential power could
• 6:49
  undermine civil service protections for federal
• 6:52
  employees. Rulings in both cases are expected
• 6:55
  by July. In business news, this week a key moment
• 7:02
  for artificial intelligence docs unfolds. and
• 7:05
  it has nothing to do with NVIDIA. Oracle's earnings
• 7:09
  will be the crucial event for tech investors.
• 7:12
  The market's focus on artificial intelligence
• 7:15
  growth has expanded beyond NVIDIA's chip demand.
• 7:19
  Concerns arise over the sustainability of data
• 7:22
  center demand as investors remain vigilant about
• 7:25
  signals from key companies. Oracle reports its
• 7:29
  fiscal second quarter results on Wednesday. with
• 7:32
  analysts expecting about 15 % sales growth. The
• 7:36
  outlook for Oracle's demand from OpenAI will
• 7:39
  also be scrutinized as a five -year contract
• 7:42
  worth $300 billion begins in 2027. This week
• 7:47
  is pivotal, so be prepared for significant market
• 7:50
  movements. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down
• 7:55
  2 % to about $90 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to
• 8:01
  just over 3 ,100. And XRP is down 1 % to $2 .05.
• 8:10
  Moving on to a more local vibe. In our community
• 8:14

  to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now,
• 8:55
  back to the show. Let's talk science. An invisible
• 9:00
  force has long eluded detection within the halls
• 9:04
  of the world's most famous particle accelerator
• 9:07
  until now. Scientists at CERN, in Switzerland
• 9:11
  and Boothy University, Frankfurt, have announced
• 9:14
  the isolation of a resonant ghost that affects
• 9:18
  particle behavior inside this super proton synchrotron.
• 9:22
  This three -dimensional shape shifts over time
• 9:25
  best measured in four dimensions. The ghost arises
• 9:29
  from resonance, where energy waves interact,
• 9:32
  leading to beam degradation. Understanding this
• 9:36
  phenomenon is crucial to avoiding particle loss
• 9:39
  in accelerator physics. Their findings aim to
• 9:43
  help develop strategies to mitigate these effects
• 9:46
  in future particle accelerators. And in entertainment
• 9:52
  news... Laurence Fishburne is looking to step
• 9:56
  back behind the camera and is currently developing
• 9:58
  a directing project, The Rule of Nines, with
• 10:01
  producer and casting director Bonnie Timmerman
• 10:04
  and actor Andre Holland. John Connor wrote the
• 10:08
  script. Fishburne expresses, the fact that I
• 10:12
  have been making films since I was 11 or 12 means
• 10:15
  that I am a filmmaker. He adds, this may be the
• 10:19
  moment where I move into the director space in
• 10:22
  a real, consistent kind of way. Fishfirm will
• 10:26
  return for the fifth and final season of The
• 10:28
  Witcher, which he anticipates will probably be
• 10:31
  streaming next year, probably around the same
• 10:34
  time, like Halloween. Well, alrighty folks, it's
• 10:39
  time for the quote of the day. And today, our
• 10:43
  quote comes from the Indian political leader
• 10:45
  and activist, Mahatma Gandhi, and he said, in
• 10:51
  a gentle way, you can shake the world, emphasizing
• 10:54
  the power of nonviolent resistance and grassroots
• 10:57
  mobilization to create significant change. And
• 11:02
  that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
• 11:05
