1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in San Diego. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:12,520 We're the daily podcast that gets you started on the right foot and always with a positive 3 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:13,520 vibe. 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:18,280 I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, February 9th. 5 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:24,040 You'll be interested to know, today is National Pizza Day. 6 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:29,880 Believe it or not, before World War II, pizza was largely unknown outside Italy, and it's 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,800 immigrant communities. 8 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,840 From a niche cultural dish, this cheesy delight has transformed into a global sensation, making 9 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,400 it the star wherever it's served. 10 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:46,160 So let's celebrate pizza's remarkable journey today and scarf some za. 11 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:50,440 Now let's check out the weather in the San Diego area. 12 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:57,080 This morning we got light showers and 51 degrees, with 3 mile per hour wind. 13 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:05,200 The sunset will take place at 5.27 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.37 a.m. 14 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:10,160 It looks like we're in for some showers before 10 a.m., then partly sunny with a high near 15 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:15,080 57 and south wind 5 to 10 mile per hour. 16 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,880 Chance of precipitation is 40%. 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,640 New rain amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. 18 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:28,120 Tonight, a slight chance of showers after 10 p.m. and partly cloudy with a low around 19 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:29,120 49. 20 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:36,240 We'll have west wind 10 to 15 mile per hour with gusts as high as 25. 21 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,160 In the Surf Report, Friday sees a decrease in size with cleaner conditions. 22 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,280 Expect waves from waist to chest in the morning. 23 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,940 Over the weekend, a fading northwest swell offers waist to chest high waves, improving 24 00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:56,040 later Sunday with a new long period northwest swell. 25 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,840 Next Monday and Tuesday anticipate fun waves in the chest-to-head high range. 26 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,040 In Pacific Beach and South San Diego, it's looking rough at 2 to 3 feet in the morning, 27 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,080 with a very short window of readability before 10 a.m. 28 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:17,260 The good news is the weekend brings some normal-looking surf once again. 29 00:02:17,260 --> 00:02:23,200 The first high tide Friday will be 7 feet around 8 a.m. with a low tide at minus 2 feet 30 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,040 around 3 p.m. 31 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:34,680 The nearshore buoy at Scripps and La Jolla reads 58 degrees for the water temperature. 32 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:39,680 Looking ahead in the weather, we'll see a pleasant weekend and start to the week with 33 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,840 mostly sunny skies. 34 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:48,440 Saturday will be breezy, reaching a high near 61 degrees, but with dusty wind up to 20 mile 35 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,880 per hour. 36 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,640 Nighttime will remain clear with lows around 44. 37 00:02:53,640 --> 00:02:59,680 Sunday and Monday continue the sunny trend, both days with highs near 64 degrees. 38 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:04,280 Nights will be consistently clear with temperatures around 45. 39 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:06,920 Looks like we're getting back to normal. 40 00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:11,080 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 41 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:16,760 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 42 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:23,320 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 43 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,120 for culinary delights. 44 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:31,740 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 45 00:03:31,740 -->

00:03:44,060 So stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 48 00:03:44,060 --> 00:03:47,880 Sunny mornings send you. 49 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,840 In Local News 50 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:57,200 In early 2025, San Diego will see the groundbreaking of Revel, a 40-story residential high-rise 51 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,560 near Peco Park. 52 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:07,320 This development, located at 611 Island Avenue, is set to offer 443 homes. 53 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:13,480 Designed by Carrier Johnson, the building integrates the historic 1869 Klauber-Weingenheim 54 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,520 Company Building, currently occupied by ballpark storage. 55 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,280 The developers aims for a community-centric, environmentally conscious design focusing 56 00:04:24,280 --> 00:04:27,480 on San Diego's climate action goals. 57 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:34,080 Unique features include on-site EV charging, reduced parking to encourage alternative transport, 58 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:39,160 secure bike storage, and a roofed-up terrace with a pool. 59 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Our from-local artists will be showcased and the facilities will have a LEED Silver Energy 60 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,080 Certification. 61 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:58,760 The developer emphasizes the project's role in urbanizing and enhancing San Diego's lifestyle. 62 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,120 Now on to sports. 63 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:08,720 Super Bowl 58, airing on CBS and Paramount Plus, promises a spectacular viewing experience, 64 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:14,040 despite not being broadcast in 4K on Paramount Plus. 65 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:20,040 Set in Las Vegas at Legion Stadium, the event will deploy an impressive array of technology, 66 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,200 including a record 24 cameras with 4K zoom extraction capability. 67 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:33,000 Its high-tech cameras enable super slow motion replace and crystal clear zoomed images. 68 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:40,040 Additionally, CBS is introducing 20 cameras embedded in end zone pylons, featuring six 69 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:47,680 doing cameras inside uprights for an unprecedented view of field goals and extra points. 70 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:55,040 Augmented reality cameras, totaling 23, will integrate graphics into CBS coverage and Nickelodeon's 71 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:59,040 SpongeBob SquarePants-themed broadcast. 72 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:06,640 In total, CBS will use 165 cameras, ensuring comprehensive coverage from multiple angles, 73 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,120 crucial for accurate play reviews. 74 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:18,520 In the NBA last night, the Lakers at home against the Nuggets lost 114 to 106. 75 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:23,840 Tonight the Lakers remain at home to play the Pelicans. 76 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:31,440 And in the NHL, the Ducks are back at it, playing at home tonight against the Oilers. 77 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:39,560 In top news, in a notable shift, some economists are revising their 2024 economic forecast, 78 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,680 reducing their prediction of interest rate cuts from 9 to just 2. 79 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:51,960 This change is driven by the robust performance of the U.S. economy defying earlier expectations 80 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:53,600 of a recession. 81 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:59,560 Recent data, including January's impressive job growth and strong GDP figures for the 82 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:06,440 end of 2023 and early 2024, have prompted this revision. 83 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:11,120 Some now anticipate a steady unemployment rate and suggest the Federal Reserve might 84 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:17,000 delay rate cuts to later in the year to avoid reigniting inflation. 85 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:23,360 Despite this optimistic outlook, some caution that economic risks remain, though a mild 86 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:30,400 recession is no longer the expected baseline for 2024 or 2025. 87 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:36,400 In the stock and crypto markets, Promtium, a new entrant in the cryptocurrency industry, 88 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:43,160 is taking a distinctive approach by seeking approval to operate as a special-purpose broker-dealer 89 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:48,520 and alternative trading platform for digital asset securities. 90 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:54,420 This strategy is in contrast to major crypto exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, which 91 00:07:54,420 --> 00:07:57,960 are pushing for changes to existing regulations. 92 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,420 Promtium's plan to offer custodial services for Ether could compel the Securities and 93 00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:09,000 Exchange Commission to reassess Ethereum's legal classification, possibly seeing it as 94 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,320 a security. 95 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:17,060 This potential reclassification stems from SEC Chair Gary Jensler's recent comments 96 00:08:17,060 --> 00:08:22,720 suggesting that most cryptocurrencies, except Bitcoin, might be securities due to their 97 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,040 investment-focused nature. 98 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,800 This perspective differs from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's views, highlighting 99 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,520 a regulatory divide. 100 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:43,160 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is nearing $45,300, Ethereum is about $2,400, and Solana is almost 101 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,520 $103. 102 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,880 Moving on to a more local vibe. 103 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:56,880 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 104 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,080 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 105 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:06,200 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 106 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,400 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 107 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,920 and elevating mental well-being. 108 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,280 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 109 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:25,640 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 110 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,960 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 111 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,120 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 112 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,440 And now back to the show. 113 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:41,160 Let's talk science. 114 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:46,600 In a groundbreaking development, scientists have potentially revolutionized electric vehicles 115 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,120 by extending their range. 116 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:55,680 Currently, EVs can travel about 435 miles on a single charge. 117 00:09:55,680 --> 00:10:01,120 The new research, published in Advanced Science, suggests using a special gel could increase 118 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:04,700 this to 620 miles. 119 00:10:04,700 --> 00:10:10,640 This breakthrough involves micro-silicon particles and gel polymer electrolytes. 120 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:17,160 Silicon, known for high energy storage, expands during charging, posing a challenge. 121 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:22,720 But the new approach uses micrometer-sized silicon, with a gel electrolyte enhancing 122 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,920 battery stability and increasing energy density by 40%. 123 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:35,040 This innovation could make EVs even more attractive and environmentally friendly. 124 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,720 And in entertainment news. 125 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:44,480 Granny-winning DJ, Tiësto has unexpectedly withdrawn from his historic Super Bowl performance 126 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,880 due to a family emergency. 127 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:52,040 Scheduled to be the first in-game DJ at the Super Bowl, he was set to play during warm-ups 128 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:56,200 and breaks at Las Vegas Allegiant Stadium. 129 00:10:56,200 --> 00:11:02,080 Announcing his decision on social media, Tiësto emphasized that family comes first, despite 130 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040 the difficulty of missing this significant event. 131 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:11,480 The NFL, collaborating closely with Tiësto, expressed understanding and looks forward 132 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,680 to future projects with him. 133 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:16,400 But there is still some good news. 134 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,540 This year's Super Bowl will feature Usher as the halftime headliner, with pre-king performances 135 00:11:21,540 --> 00:11:26,760 by Reba McEntire, Post Malone and Andra Day. 136 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,560 Well alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 137 00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:34,960 And today our quote comes from Reba McEntire. 138 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:36,720 And the country singer said, 139 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:40,480 To succeed in life, you need three things. 140 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:46,200 A wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone. 141 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,320 And that's a wrap for this week. 142 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:49,640 We did it. 143 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:53,800 Keep an eye out tomorrow for a bonus episode. 144 00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:56,720 Have an amazing weekend my good friends. 145 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,560 Stay safe and enjoy yourself to the fullest. 146 00:11:59,560 --> 00:12:03,160 We'll be back soon with another Sunny Mornings podcast. 147 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:05,040 Thanks for tuning in.
