20
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina facing Yukon and the wast Sabbie Ball. The

21
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>tar Heels focused on the big game while all the

22
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:09.159
<v Speaker 1>buzz is about their new head coach.

23
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 2>He's not expected to be on the sidelines in Fedway

24
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Park when UNC plays Yukon, but the specter of Bill

25
00:01:15.519 --> 00:01:18.799
<v Speaker 2>Belichick was undeniably in the air at Fedway Park on

26
00:01:18.879 --> 00:01:20.439
<v Speaker 2>the eve of the WSABI Bowl.

27
00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:24.280
<v Speaker 3>I talked to coach every day, but not during the

28
00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:25.480
<v Speaker 3>game and stuff like that.

29
00:01:25.519 --> 00:01:27.439
<v Speaker 2>He understands what we have a job to do here.

30
00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.280

32
00:01:35.439 --> 00:01:39.879
<v Speaker 2>on the game against Yukon. UNC wide receiver JJ Jones.

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:43.799
<v Speaker 3>Obviously coming with a great coach like coach Balachick itself,

34
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 3>there's gonna be buzz, there's gonna be high, But as

35
00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.799
<v Speaker 3>a team, I feel like as a unit, coach, kidses

36
00:01:49.840 --> 00:01:52.760
<v Speaker 3>were all focused on this game and winning this game.

37
00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:55.120
<v Speaker 3>So that's kind of outside of noise.

38
00:01:55.200 --> 00:01:59.400
<v Speaker 2>At Fedway Park. Mike Macklin WB's a Boston's news radio.

42
00:02:08.759 --> 00:02:13.199
<v Speaker 1>played at Yankees Stadium. A threat to the bird population

43
00:02:13.319 --> 00:02:15.719
<v Speaker 1>in Vermont and perhaps to other parts of New England.

44
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>State officials say bird flu detected in a backyard flock

45
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.439
<v Speaker 1>of birds in Franklin County, Vermont, a week before Christmas.

46
00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:26.680
<v Speaker 1>It's the fourth time this flu has been detected in

47
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 1>a flock of birds in Vermont since the spring of

48
00:02:29.479 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty two. Health officials say it poses only a

49
00:02:33.159 --> 00:02:37.039
<v Speaker 1>minor threat to humans. Federal health officials keeping a close

50
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.439
<v Speaker 1>watch on a Louisiana patient and the potential threat of

51
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:43.159
<v Speaker 1>human to human infection from bird flu.

52
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 4>The Centers for Disease Control finding potentially concerning new mutations

53
00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 4>in the bird flu from a patient recently hospitalized with

54
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:53.240
<v Speaker 4>a serious case of the virus, but the agency making

55
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.759
<v Speaker 4>it clear that the risk to the general public has

56
00:02:55.800 --> 00:02:59.599
<v Speaker 4>not changed and remains low. The CDC has confirmed at

57
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.599
<v Speaker 4>least sixty five cases of bird flu in people in

58
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 4>the US this year, and officials in California have actually

59
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 4>issued a state of emergency over the bird flu at

60
00:03:08.439 --> 00:03:12.080
<v Speaker 4>dairy farms and are asking people to avoid raw dairy products.

61
00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:16.360
<v Speaker 1>ABC's filled Lopoff reporting. Let's check the four day wbz

62
00:03:16.599 --> 00:03:19.919
<v Speaker 1>ACU weather forecast. There is a winter weather Advisory in

63
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>effect until one o'clock this afternoon for the metro Boston

64
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:26.719
<v Speaker 1>area and points north and west. So we're going to

65
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 1>have some rain, some drizzle at times, and again that

66
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 1>concern is north and west. As mentioned, we could see

67
00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 1>the rain freeze on surfaces and we could really have

68
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>some icy conditions on the roads and also under foot.

69
00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Now we'll get to about forty degrees for a high

70
00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>and if you are further south down around the Cape

71
00:03:45.800 --> 00:03:47.919
<v Speaker 1>and the islands, we could get to the mid forties.

72
00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 1>Some rain, some drizzle overnights tonight with some areas of fog,

73
00:03:50.919 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 1>temperature stays about forty and then for tomorrow cloudy, milder,

74
00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:59.639
<v Speaker 1>more rain and drizzle at times, get to about fifty tomorrow.

75
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>That becomes steadier and heavier tomorrow night. So on Monday

76
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:08.000
<v Speaker 1>will be breezy and mild and some rain to start

77
00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:10.080
<v Speaker 1>the day, but as a day moves on on Monday

78
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.159
<v Speaker 1>could see some sunshine and get to fifty seven degrees Tuesday.

79
00:04:13.159 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 1>For New Year's Eve, not as mild with increasing clouds,

80
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:19.560
<v Speaker 1>but still temperatures in the mid and upper forties thirty

81
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>five degrees right now with clouds in Boston at six

82
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>oh five. Boston City officials say the city has never

98
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:16.439
<v Speaker 3>going back since when I came on, the city has

99

123
00:06:43.319 --> 00:06:45.959
<v Speaker 7>it was all over. I decided I should fill my
