The near -shore buoy at Cape 00:01:16.750 --> 00:01:20.370 Cod Bay reads 42 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:21.989 --> 00:01:26.209 Looking ahead in the weather. Saturday starts 00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:29.090 with a slight chance of showers before 7 a .m. 00:01:29.319 --> 00:01:32.439 then turns sunny with a high near 59 and northwest 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:38.319 winds 8 to 12 mph, gusting to 23.

In local 00:02:32.319 --> 00:02:35.919 news, the Pemidjwaset Wilderness will require 00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.120 overnight visitors to carry bear canisters starting 00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:42.740 May 1st. In response to a rise in bear encounters, 00:02:43.180 --> 00:02:45.680 the White Mountain National Forest in New Hampshire 00:02:45.680 --> 00:02:48.479 and Maine announced a new year -round food storage 00:02:48.479 --> 00:02:52.159 requirement. Beginning May 1st, visitors must 00:02:52.159 --> 00:02:56.319 store food. trash and scented items, like soap 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.280 and toothpaste, in a cylindrical, hard -sided, 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.180 resistant canister certified by the International 00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:05.740 Grizzly Bear Committee. Failure to comply could 00:03:05.740 --> 00:03:08.479 result in fines, according to the U .S. Forest 00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:12.099 Service. Bear -resistant food boxes will still 00:03:12.099 --> 00:03:16.240 be available at the 13 Falls Tent site. The Forest 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.000 Service also offers a free canister loan program 00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:27.229 at various locations in New Hampshire. Now on 00:03:27.229 --> 00:03:31.729 to sports. Rory's defense has disappointed in 00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:34.330 the first rounds while looking ahead to the rest 00:03:34.330 --> 00:03:37.810 of the Masters. How will a loaded leaderboard 00:03:37.810 --> 00:03:41.629 take shape? Will the course continue to get more 00:03:41.629 --> 00:03:45.250 difficult? We look at round one and what could 00:03:45.250 --> 00:03:48.909 come next at Augusta National. We're just 18 00:03:48.909 --> 00:03:52.289 holes into the 90th playing of the Masters. and 00:03:52.289 --> 00:03:54.750 the tournament is already delivering at a high 00:03:54.750 --> 00:03:57.650 level. The leaderboard is stacked with some of 00:03:57.650 --> 00:04:01.150 the best golfers in the world. Five of the top 00:04:01.150 --> 00:04:04.030 ten finishers in last year's event find themselves 00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:08.150 inside the top ten again. Four of the top five 00:04:08.150 --> 00:04:11.310 in the world are part of the group of only 18 00:04:11.310 --> 00:04:16.129 players under par. In local sports, Josh Hart 00:04:16.129 --> 00:04:19.730 sent the Madison Square Garden crowd into a frenzy. 00:04:20.089 --> 00:04:21.930 with a pair of fourth -quarter three -pointers, 00:04:22.170 --> 00:04:25.670 scoring 15 of his 26 points in the final quarter. 00:04:26.750 --> 00:04:29.930 Jalen Brunson also contributed with 25 points 00:04:29.930 --> 00:04:32.910 and 10 assists, leading the Knicks to a crucial 00:04:32.910 --> 00:04:37.569 112 -106 victory over the Celtics on Thursday 00:04:37.569 --> 00:04:42.069 night. Jason Tatum had a strong return, finishing 00:04:42.069 --> 00:04:46.399 with 24 points, 13 rebounds and 8 assists. but 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.720 it wasn't enough to keep Boston's four -game 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.860 winning streak alive. The Knicks now sit two 00:04:51.860 --> 00:04:54.160 games behind the Celtics in the Eastern Conference 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.439 standings, with both teams having two games left 00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:03.199 to play. In top news, Tim Cook does not want 00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.980 to talk about retirement yet, but John Ternes 00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:10.079 is emerging as his most likely successor. During 00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:12.819 an all -hands meeting at Apple in January, an 00:05:12.819 --> 00:05:15.459 employee asked about a spate of executive moves. 00:05:16.259 --> 00:05:19.360 Apple's chief operating officer recently retired, 00:05:19.540 --> 00:05:22.160 while the chief financial officer and general 00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:24.980 counsel took smaller roles to prepare for their 00:05:24.980 --> 00:05:28.459 own retirements. This transition reflects a logical 00:05:28.459 --> 00:05:31.800 change at a company that turns 50 on April 1st. 00:05:32.379 --> 00:05:35.740 Apple stock has made executives wealthy, prompting 00:05:35.740 --> 00:05:40.750 many to prioritize family time over work. In 00:05:40.750 --> 00:05:45.209 business news, OpenAI and Anthropic are racing 00:05:45.209 --> 00:05:48.170 toward potentially record -breaking initial public 00:05:48.170 --> 00:05:51.990 offerings by the end of the year. An inside look 00:05:51.990 --> 00:05:54.430 at the financials of both companies prior to 00:05:54.430 --> 00:05:57.290 funding rounds completed earlier this year reveals 00:05:57.290 --> 00:06:00.569 their Achilles heel, the soaring costs needed 00:06:00.569 --> 00:06:03.069 to train new artificial intelligence models. 00:06:03.920 --> 00:06:09.600 OpenAI expects to spend $121 billion on computing 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.720 power for artificial intelligence research in 00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:16.920 2028. Such losses would dwarf those of virtually 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.920 any other public company in history. Both companies 00:06:20.920 --> 00:06:23.240 are releasing new versions of their artificial 00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:26.500 intelligence models at an unprecedented pace 00:06:26.500 --> 00:06:30.620 amid rising computing costs. In crypto movement, 00:06:31.660 --> 00:06:35.839 Bitcoin is up 4 % for the week to just over $72 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:41.699 ,000. Ethereum is up 3 % to just over $2 ,000. 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:49.639 And XRP is unchanged at $1 .34. Moving on to 00:06:49.639 --> 00:06:53.300 a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:06:53.300 --> 00:06:56.279 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.180 national Pilates studio to bring you some free 00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:03.480 classes, so listen up.

And 00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:39.160 now, back to the show. Let's talk science. Entire 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:42.519 human populations vanished 3 ,000 years ago. 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.819 Scientists figured out where they went. The population 00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:49.740 drop opened the door for outsiders to repopulate 00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:53.629 with new demographics and cultures. The famed 00:07:53.629 --> 00:07:57.370 Neolithic decline that struck around 3 ,100 years 00:07:57.370 --> 00:08:00.269 before the Common Era in northern Europe has 00:08:00.269 --> 00:08:04.649 a new scientific explanation. The influx of newcomers 00:08:04.649 --> 00:08:08.029 came from the south as Iberians began repopulating 00:08:08.029 --> 00:08:12.069 the Paris Basin around 2 ,900 years before the 00:08:12.069 --> 00:08:15.230 Common Era. Researchers believe they have found 00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:18.430 out why the Paris Basin suffered a dramatic population 00:08:18.430 --> 00:08:25.939 shift. And in entertainment news, Jeopardy! champion 00:08:25.939 --> 00:08:29.519 Janie Ding from Lawrenceville, New Jersey, has 00:08:29.519 --> 00:08:32.259 achieved a remarkable milestone by winning his 00:08:32.259 --> 00:08:35.639 20th straight game, tying the record set by host 00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:39.259 Ken Jennings. Ding entered Thursday's episode 00:08:39.259 --> 00:08:46.139 with winnings totaling a staggering $539 ,573. 00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:50.019 By the end of the Jeopardy round, he led with 00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:54.620 $8 ,800 against his opponents, Alexander Leith 00:08:54.620 --> 00:08:59.379 and Prithish David, who had $800 and $3 ,400, 00:08:59.960 --> 00:09:04.120 respectively. Ultimately, Ding finished with 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:08.259 $32 ,000, marking him as the first contestant 00:09:08.259 --> 00:09:13.379 to win 20 or more games since 2022. Well, all 00:09:13.379 --> 00:09:16.059 righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:09:16.059 --> 00:09:19.960 day. And today, our quote comes from the American 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.460 author and motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar. 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:27.659 And he said, You don't have to be great to start, 00:09:27.759 --> 00:09:32.080 but you have to start to be great. And that's 00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:35.139 a wrap for this morning. You can check out our 00:09:35.139 --> 00:09:39.279 Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.360 aerial videos with local news and the weather 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:46.019 reports. Have an amazing day, my good friends. 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:48.940 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of 00:09:48.940 --> 00:09:50.360 Sunny Mornings in Boston.
