Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Boston. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, December 9th. Say hello to
my little friend. 42 years ago, today, in 1983.
Scarface hit theaters, introducing Al Pacino's
unforgettable role as Cuban refugee turned Miami
drug kingpin. Tony Montana. The Brian DePalma
film, written by Oliver Stone, earned mixed early
reviews, but went on to become a box office success
and a lasting pop culture icon. So now you know.
And now it's time for the weather report. This
morning, it's sunny and it feels like six degrees
with four mile per hour wind. The sunset will
take place at 410, and it will rise again tomorrow
at 701. It looks like we're in for a sunny Tuesday
with a high near 30 and a light southwest breeze
at 3 to 8 miles per hour. Tonight, expect a chance
of snow between 8 p .m. and 4 a .m., turning
mostly cloudy, with a low around 26, and a southwest
wind at 10 miles per hour. For all you beach
runners out there, the first low tide Tuesday
will be just before 8, with a high tide just
before 230. The nearshore buoy at Cape Cod Bay
reads 46 degrees for the water temperature. Looking
ahead in the weather. Wednesday will be mostly
cloudy with rain and snow likely and a high near
46, with a southwest wind around 10 miles per
hour, gusting to 21. Wednesday night into early
Thursday we'll see lingering rain before 4 a

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

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

captivating aerial videos with local news and

friends. We'll see you tomorrow with another
episode of Sunny Mornings in Boston.
