WEBVTT 00:00:01.620 --> 00:00:04.540 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.019 --> 00:00:09.140 Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.259 --> 00:00:13.439 and it's Wednesday, December 3rd. You'll be interested 00:00:13.439 --> 00:00:19.980 to know. 58 years ago, today, in 1967, a team 00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:22.539 led by South African surgeon Christian Barnard 00:00:22.539 --> 00:00:25.800 performed the first human heart transplant, replacing 00:00:25.800 --> 00:00:29.120 a failing heart with a donor organ in a complex 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.780 surgical milestone. The achievement proved that 00:00:32.780 --> 00:00:35.460 organ replacement was possible and opened new 00:00:35.460 --> 00:00:38.579 paths for life -saving cardiac surgery worldwide. 00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:44.399 So now you know. And now, it's time for the weather 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:50.140 report. This morning, it's mostly cloudy and 00:00:50.140 --> 00:00:54.039 it feels like 22 degrees, with 13 mile per hour 00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:58.320 wind. The sunset will take place at 411. and 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.619 it will rise again tomorrow at 656. It looks 00:01:02.619 --> 00:01:05.340 like we're in for some mostly sunny skies today, 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.879 with a high near 39 and a light west wind blowing 00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:12.879 at 5 to 13 miles per hour, gusting up to 25. 00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.920 Tonight, expect mostly cloudy conditions with 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.459 a low around 28 and a gentle southwest breeze. 00:01:22.370 --> 00:01:25.150 For all you beach runners out there, the first 00:01:25.150 --> 00:01:28.170 high tide Wednesday will be at 9, with a low 00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:32.450 tide at 330. The nearshore gooey at Cape Cod 00:01:32.450 --> 00:01:36.030 Bay reads 48 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:38.370 --> 00:01:41.489 Looking ahead in the weather, Thursday will be 00:01:41.489 --> 00:01:44.129 partly sunny with a slight chance of rain showers 00:01:44.129 --> 00:01:47.090 in the early afternoon, then a chance of snow 00:01:47.090 --> 00:01:50.670 showers and highs near 39. with west winds of 00:01:50.670 --> 00:01:55.430 10 to 18 miles per hour and gusts up to 31. Tonight 00:01:55.430 --> 00:01:58.310 will be mostly clear and much colder, with lows 00:01:58.310 --> 00:02:02.469 near 13 and northwest winds 13 to 22 miles per 00:02:02.469 --> 00:02:06.150 hour, gusting to 33. Then Friday looks sunny, 00:02:06.450 --> 00:02:10.530 with highs near 28 and lighter west winds. Bonjour, 00:02:10.969 --> 00:02:13.750 food enthusiasts!

In local 00:02:48.870 --> 00:02:52.349 news, Berklee College of Music in Boston has 00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:54.969 earned impressive international recognition, 00:02:55.469 --> 00:02:57.710 landing the number two spot on the Hollywood 00:02:57.710 --> 00:03:01.669 Reporter's 2025 list of the world's top music 00:03:01.669 --> 00:03:05.629 schools. This prestigious ranking place is Berklee, 00:03:05.830 --> 00:03:09.490 just behind Columbia College Chicago, while surpassing 00:03:09.490 --> 00:03:12.229 renowned institutions like the Juilliard School 00:03:12.229 --> 00:03:15.530 and the University of Southern California Thornton 00:03:15.530 --> 00:03:19.319 School of Music. The ranking highlights Berklee's 00:03:19.319 --> 00:03:21.780 strong reputation for preparing students for 00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:25.240 careers in film, television, and other professional 00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.460 music industries. Notably, Berklee's Screenscoring 00:03:29.460 --> 00:03:32.639 department, led by Sean McMahon, is recognized 00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:35.659 as a leading program for aspiring composers. 00:03:41.020 --> 00:03:45.860 Now on to sports. NFL Red Zone has significantly 00:03:45.860 --> 00:03:49.860 increased commercials in Week 13. So much for 00:03:49.860 --> 00:03:53.539 commercial -free football. During its seven -hour 00:03:53.539 --> 00:03:57.340 broadcast, Red Zone aired 16 advertisements ranging 00:03:57.340 --> 00:04:01.900 from 15 to 20 seconds long. This is a notable 00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:04.879 increase from the four ads promised at this season's 00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:08.680 start. The telecast included two minutes of double 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.680 -box advertisements split across game windows. 00:04:12.430 --> 00:04:16.170 In total, Red Zone aired 16 elements of sponsored 00:04:16.170 --> 00:04:19.470 content for a combined 5 minutes and 10 seconds. 00:04:20.649 --> 00:04:23.509 Fans expressed frustration on social media with 00:04:23.509 --> 00:04:27.589 some canceling subscriptions. I did too, and 00:04:27.589 --> 00:04:31.730 I think it's time to send a message. In local 00:04:31.730 --> 00:04:36.329 sports, Jalen Brown scored a season -high 42 00:04:36.329 --> 00:04:39.149 points. sealing the game with a breakaway dunk 00:04:39.149 --> 00:04:42.129 in the final seconds as the Boston Celtics beat 00:04:42.129 --> 00:04:46.610 the New York Knicks 1 -23 to 1 -17 in a rematch 00:04:46.610 --> 00:04:50.250 of last season's Eastern Conference Semifinal. 00:04:50.750 --> 00:04:54.470 Derek White contributed 22 points, scoring seven 00:04:54.470 --> 00:04:57.110 in the last four minutes, while Jordan Walsh 00:04:57.110 --> 00:05:00.149 added six points and five rebounds in the fourth 00:05:00.149 --> 00:05:04.199 quarter. Boston has won four of its last five 00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.439 games against top Eastern Conference teams. Next, 00:05:08.699 --> 00:05:11.500 the Celtics will visit Washington D .C. on Thursday 00:05:11.500 --> 00:05:17.620 night. In top news, how old is too old to shovel 00:05:17.620 --> 00:05:22.019 snow? Here is what hard experts say. As winter 00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:24.600 approaches, many people are preparing to shovel 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:27.660 snow, which can be dangerous for those with pre 00:05:27.660 --> 00:05:31.170 -existing heart conditions. Dr. Barry Franklin 00:05:31.170 --> 00:05:34.350 noted that shoveling heavy snow can be more demanding 00:05:34.350 --> 00:05:38.009 on the heart than a treadmill stress test. Between 00:05:38.009 --> 00:05:43.470 1990 and 2006, nearly 200 ,000 adults were treated 00:05:43.470 --> 00:05:46.470 for snow shovel -related accidents, resulting 00:05:46.470 --> 00:05:51.829 in over 1 ,600 deaths. Dr. John Osborne advised 00:05:51.829 --> 00:05:55.329 that adults 65 and older should be more cautious, 00:05:55.610 --> 00:05:58.050 especially those with risk factors for heart 00:05:58.050 --> 00:06:04.310 disease. In business news, Harvard's significant 00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:07.250 wager on Bitcoin came just before a downturn 00:06:07.250 --> 00:06:10.509 in the cryptocurrency market. The university 00:06:10.509 --> 00:06:14.610 reported nearly $500 million in crypto holdings 00:06:14.610 --> 00:06:18.389 in its last quarterly report. Although Bitcoin 00:06:18.389 --> 00:06:21.949 rebounded recently, it has dropped over 20 % 00:06:21.949 --> 00:06:25.269 this quarter. Harvard could have avoided losses 00:06:25.269 --> 00:06:29.300 if it sold its holdings in early October. Currently, 00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:32.819 it stands to incur a potential 14 % loss on its 00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:36.519 shares. Despite the setback, these losses are 00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.480 negligible for Harvard's endowment, which totals 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:44.040 $57 billion. This incident highlights the risks 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.800 of institutional investment in cryptocurrencies. 00:06:48.180 --> 00:06:52.399 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 8 % to just 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:58.560 under $94 ,000. Ethereum is up 10%. to just under 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:06.839 $3 ,100. And at CACSRP is up 9 % to $2 .20. Moving 00:07:06.839 --> 00:07:11.160 on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.079 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:16.899 national Pilates studio to bring you some free 00:07:16.899 --> 00:07:21.199 classes, so listen up.

And now, 00:07:52.139 --> 00:07:57.699 back to the show. Let's talk tech. Security researchers 00:07:57.699 --> 00:08:00.579 have discovered that Wi -Fi signals can be used 00:08:00.579 --> 00:08:04.100 to image environments and identify people with 00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:09.339 near 100 % accuracy. In the future, anyone who 00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:12.259 regularly walks past a cafe or restaurant with 00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:15.259 public Wi -Fi could be identified, even without 00:08:15.259 --> 00:08:18.990 a smartphone. Researchers at Karlsruhe Institute 00:08:18.990 --> 00:08:22.029 of Technology have found that commercially available 00:08:22.029 --> 00:08:25.470 Wi -Fi routers can recognize individuals based 00:08:25.470 --> 00:08:29.970 on signal changes from nearby devices. The propagation 00:08:29.970 --> 00:08:32.649 of Wi -Fi radio waves can create an image of 00:08:32.649 --> 00:08:35.370 the router's physical environment, similar to 00:08:35.370 --> 00:08:39.570 how cameras work. This technology poses a serious 00:08:39.570 --> 00:08:43.070 risk to personal privacy, as it could allow surveillance 00:08:43.070 --> 00:08:49.470 in public and private spaces. and in entertainment 00:08:49.470 --> 00:08:53.649 news. Netflix's proposed acquisition of Warner 00:08:53.649 --> 00:08:57.070 Bros. Discovery Studios and streaming unit is 00:08:57.070 --> 00:08:59.870 expected to lower streaming costs for consumers 00:08:59.870 --> 00:09:03.830 by bundling Netflix and HBO Max, according to 00:09:03.830 --> 00:09:07.309 sources familiar with the proposal. The vast 00:09:07.309 --> 00:09:10.970 majority of Netflix users also subscribe to HBO 00:09:10.970 --> 00:09:15.159 Max. In recent talks, Netflix argued that the 00:09:15.159 --> 00:09:17.980 combination would benefit consumers by reducing 00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:21.379 the cost of a bundled offering. This move aims 00:09:21.379 --> 00:09:24.279 to address potential regulatory concerns regarding 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.980 consumer choice and pricing. If successful, the 00:09:27.980 --> 00:09:30.600 deal would expand Netflix's content library, 00:09:30.799 --> 00:09:33.539 but may not significantly increase its market 00:09:33.539 --> 00:09:37.059 share. Analysts suggest that this combination 00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:39.720 could create a formidable competitor to other 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:44.419 services. Well, alrighty, folks. It's time for 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:48.440 the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:09:48.440 --> 00:09:51.500 from the American author and motivational speaker, 00:09:52.039 --> 00:10:13.929 Zig Ziglar. And he said, And that's a wrap for 00:10:13.929 --> 00:10:16.889 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, 00:10:17.350 --> 00:10:20.870 YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 00:10:20.870 --> 00:10:24.029 videos with local news and the weather reports. 00:10:25.409 --> 00:10:27.990 Have an amazing day, my good friends. We'll see 00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:31.110 you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings 00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:31.610 in Boston.
