1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Boston. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, June 11th. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,000 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the weather report, then we'll jump into 4 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,480 some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science and entertainment. 5 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:30,960 But first, you'll be interested to know 42 years ago, today in 1982. 6 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:38,280 Steven Spielberg's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial premiered in theaters to much critical acclaim. 7 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:43,680 The film became the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Star Wars, and held 8 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:50,360 this record until 1993, when Spielberg's own Jurassic Park surpassed it. 9 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:55,080 E.T. is considered one of the greatest films ever made. 10 00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:00,720 It received nine Academy Award nominations, winning four, including Best Original Score 11 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,420 and Best Visual Effects. 12 00:01:03,420 --> 00:01:09,040 The film was re-released in 1985-2002. 13 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:14,440 In 1994, it was added to the U.S. National Film Registry. 14 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,160 So now you know. 15 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,320 And now you know what time it is. 16 00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:22,040 It's time for the weather report. 17 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:29,080 In the Boston area, this morning it's sunny and feels like 57 degrees, with 10 mile per 18 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,860 hour wind. 19 00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:37,500 The sunset will take place at 821, and it will rise again tomorrow at 506. 20 00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:43,160 It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day, with a high near 75 and wind of 7 mile 21 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:44,160 per hour. 22 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:50,600 Tonight, it'll be partly cloudy, with a low around 59. 23 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:56,760 For all you beach runners out there, the first low tide Tuesday will be just after 9 a.m., 24 00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,280 with a high tide just after 3 o'clock. 25 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:08,480 The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay reads 62 degrees for the water temperature. 26 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:14,780 Looking ahead in the weather, Wednesday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 79 and calm 27 00:02:14,780 --> 00:02:19,800 wind becoming southeast around 6 mile per hour in the afternoon. 28 00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:23,640 Thursday will be sunny, with a high near 88. 29 00:02:23,640 --> 00:02:27,680 Friday will be mostly sunny, with a high near 90. 30 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:33,040 Friday

00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,700 Sunny mornings send you. 40 00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:20,740 In local news, the New Era Company has acquired the sports lifestyle brand 47, a Boston-based 41 00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:25,000 company with deep roots in the local sports community. 42 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,200 This acquisition merges two family-founded brands and is expected to generate around 43 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,160 $2 billion in annual revenue. 44 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,720 The combined entity aims to expand its product portfolio and enhance its licensing partnerships 45 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,120 with major sports leagues and events globally. 46 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,320 47 will continue to operate from its headquarters in Westwood, Massachusetts, while New Era 47 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:56,620 remains in Buffalo, New York. 48 00:03:56,620 --> 00:03:58,720 Now on to sports. 49 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:05,280 Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever are finding their rhythm after a tough start to the season. 50 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:11,280 In a recent game against the Washington Mystics, Clark dazzled with five consecutive three-pointers, 51 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:17,320 finishing with 30 points, eight rebounds, six assists, and four steals. 52 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:22,160 Despite early struggles and intense media scrutiny, the Fever are learning to navigate 53 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,880 the pressures and improve their gameplay. 54 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:31,320 As Clark continues to shine, Indiana hopes this marks a turning point for a more successful 55 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,280 season. 56 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:43,140 In local sports, tonight, the Sox are back at it, taking on the Phillies at Fenway Park. 57 00:04:43,140 --> 00:04:50,120 In top news, Dr. Paul Tierstein of Scripps Clinic is the first in Southern California 58 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:55,820 to use a drug-coated balloon to clear a clogged stent in a heart vessel. 59 00:04:55,820 --> 00:05:01,640 The procedure performed at Scripps Memorial Hospital utilizes the Agent drug-coated balloon 60 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:07,600 from Boston Scientific, which was recently approved by the FDA. 61 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,060 This innovative treatment targets in-stent rastinosis, offering a new option that reduces 62 00:05:13,060 --> 00:05:19,200 the need for repeat procedures and subsequent heart attacks by 50%, significantly benefiting 63 00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:24,740 patients with recurrent coronary artery disease. 64 00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:33,080 In business news, risky startups like Aptera Motors and Boxable are leveraging crowdfunding 65 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:38,120 and digital marketing to raise millions from novice investors. 66 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:46,840 Aptera, promising solar cars, and Boxable, touting tiny houses, have raised $170 million 67 00:05:46,840 --> 00:05:48,400 collectively. 68 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,540 However, both have struggled with production and transparency. 69 00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:58,800 The SEC's regulation exemption, designed to help smaller companies, has enabled these 70 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,760 startups to attract significant funding despite limited oversight, leading to potential risks 71 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:10,840 for inexperienced investors who often receive less transparency and fewer rights compared 72 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:13,720 to professional financiers. 73 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:19,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $67,000. 74 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,940 Ethereum is $3,500. 75 00:06:22,940 --> 00:06:28,040 And Solana is $154. 76 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,400 Moving on to a more local vibe. 77 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:37,100 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 78 00:06:37,100 --> 00:06:41,320 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 79 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,000 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the Boston area. 80 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 81 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,920 and elevating mental well-being. 82 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,120 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 83 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,360 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a

by. 86 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,120 And now back to the show. 87 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Let's talk science. 88 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:23,320 Supercapacitors, which combine battery design with capacitor physics, could soon surpass 89 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,640 batteries in power efficiency. 90 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,200 Unlike batteries, which deteriorate over time due to chemical reactions, supercapacitors 91 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:36,000 store energy on the surface, preventing wear. 92 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,520 New research by Ankur Gupta from the University of Colorado Boulder introduces a model to 93 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:48,880 study supercapacitors more effectively, simulating thousands of charge-storing pores quickly. 94 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:54,340 This advancement aims to enhance supercapacitor design, potentially revolutionizing energy 95 00:07:54,340 --> 00:07:59,800 storage with faster, more efficient energy release, ultimately improving the performance 96 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:03,880 of devices from mobile phones to electric cars. 97 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:09,040 And in entertainment news. 98 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:14,240 Brian Steele, Young Thug's lead attorney, was held in contempt and taken into custody 99 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:22,040 after accusing Judge Ural Glanville and prosecutors of an improper meeting with a key witness. 100 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,240 Steele claimed the meeting with witness Kenneth Copeland involved coercion. 101 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,040 The judge demanded Steele reveal his source for this information and, upon refusal, sentenced 102 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,440 him to 20 days in jail to be served on weekends. 103 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,880 The trial, already the longest in Georgia history, continues amidst these dramatic legal 104 00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:43,880 disputes. 105 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,120 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 106 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:57,080 And today, our quote comes from the award-winning director of ET, Steven Spielberg. 107 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,100 And he said, Remember, science fiction's always been the 108 00:09:01,100 --> 00:09:05,680 kind of first-level alert to think about things to come. 109 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:10,280 It's easier for an audience to take warnings from sci-fi without feeling that we're preaching 110 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,000 to them. 111 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:17,280 Every science fiction movie I've ever seen, anyone that's worth its weight in celluloid, 112 00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:22,280 warns us about things that ultimately come true. 113 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,920 And that's a wrap for this morning. 114 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:31,160 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 115 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,600 with local news and the weather reports. 116 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,680 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 117 00:09:36,680 --> 00:10:04,320 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
