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 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, April 11th. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,680 At first, you'll be interested to know, 54 years ago, today in 1970. 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,480 Apollo 13 launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida and was a NASA mission that faced a crisis 8 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,160 when an oxygen tank exploded en route to the moon. 9 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:48,200 This incident jeopardized the lives of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert. 10 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,820 Initially aiming for a lunar landing, the mission's objectives were drastically altered 11 00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:55,440 following the explosion. 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,440 The crew had to use the lunar module as a lifeboat for a safe return to Earth, foregoing 13 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680 their moon landing. 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,860 This event turned a routine spaceflight into a dramatic survival mission, showcasing the 15 00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:13,520 ingenuity and resilience of both the astronauts and the ground team. 16 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,400 So now you know. 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,240 And now you know what time it is. 18 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,520 It's time for the surf report. 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,660 Expect an increase in both north-northwest and south-southwest swells towards the end 20 00:01:28,660 --> 00:01:31,200 of this week. 21 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:39,280 Areas in North County San Diego will see knee-to-waist-high surf, with standout spots nearing chest-high. 22 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,840 Light and variable offshore wind are expected early mornings, with westerly onshore flow 23 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,960 starting to pick up, then reaching moderate levels for the back half of the day. 24 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:56,200 Expect a potential uptick in north-northwest swell by the weekend, with a south-southwest 25 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:02,520 swell bringing waves to stomach-high waves and chest-high waves at summer standouts in 26 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:09,440 South County San Diego, Thursday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. 27 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:15,680 It's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet until 10, then fair until 11. 28 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:22,480 After that, it's looking pretty choppy, but might clear up a bit for a sunset session. 29 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Best time to ride is at 8 a.m. with a half-foot incoming tide, when the northwest swell is 30 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,880 2 feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is just about zero. 31 00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:41,360 The first high tide Thursday will be 4 feet just after 12.30 p.m. with a 2-foot low tide 32 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,680 just before 5. 33 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,120 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature. 34 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,080 Checking out the weather in the San Diego area. 35 00:02:55,080 --> 00:03:01,200 This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 55 degrees with no wind. 36 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:07,960 The sunset will take place at 7.16 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.21. 37 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,040 It looks like we're in for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. 38 00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:19,920 Otherwise, mostly sunny with a high near 73 and wind of 5 to 10 mph with gusts as high 39 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,720 as 20. 40 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:27,960 Tonight, cloudy with a low around 55. 41 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,320 Looking ahead in the weather. 42 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:36,600 Friday will be partly sunny and breezy with a high near 67 and southwest wind gusting 43 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,640 to 20 mph. 44 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Saturday turns mostly cloudy with a chance of showers and a high near 65. 45 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,400 The chance of rain continues Saturday night. 46 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Sunday and Monday will be mostly sunny with highs in the mid-60s. 47 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:57,260 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 48 00:03:57,260 --> 00:04:02,880 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. 49 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven 50 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160 for culinary delights. 51 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:17,720 Indulge in their amazing Eggs Benedict or their gluten-free crepes. 52 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:22,400 You can grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through to get your morning coffee. 53 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,480 They are open every day from 8 to 5. 54 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,920 Just stop on by and don't forget to tell them. 55 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,280 Sunny mornings send you! 56 00:04:33,280 --> 00:04:41,280 In local news, the Encinitas City Council has approved a $382,000 five-year chemical 57 00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:47,360 treatment plan to protect the heritage Canary Island date palm at Moonlight Beach from the 58 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,400 South American palm weevil. 59 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:56,800 This invasive beetle, first detected in 2011 in San Diego County, poses a significant threat 60 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:01,400 to palms, particularly the Canary Island variety. 61 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,360 The plan involves regular inspections, the removal of infested palms, and preventive 62 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,480 treatments including a controversial pesticide. 63 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,280 Despite the pesticides' risk to bees, an exception is being sought due to the city's 64 00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:23,440 Bee City USA status and the already enhanced pollinator habitat and limited use of pesticides. 65 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,460 The move comes as the weevil's presence has necessitated the removal of numerous infected 66 00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:34,560 palms across the city, highlighting the challenge of preserving local heritage and biodiversity 67 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:41,760 against invasive species. 68 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:43,960 Now on to sports. 69 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:50,440 Ranger League Baseball is facing an unprecedented pitcher injury crisis, with top pitchers like 70 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:56,360 Spencer Strider and Shane Bieber suffering from severe elbow issues. 71 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:02,200 These injuries are closely linked to the pursuit of higher velocity and complex pitches, like 72 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,200 the sweeper. 73 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:10,740 Keith Meister, a top elbow surgeon and physician for the Texas Rangers, notes a surge in specific 74 00:06:10,740 --> 00:06:14,000 tear patterns due to these pitching styles. 75 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:20,920 Strider, for example, is potentially facing his second elbow reconstruction in five years, 76 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,760 highlighting a dramatic shift from the past, when one surgery was expected to last a pitcher's 77 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:27,760 career. 78 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:33,160 The drive for more strikeouts and better performance is pushing pitchers to their physical limits, 79 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,360 leading to more frequent and severe injuries. 80 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:42,600 Ranger League Baseball and the MLB Players Association are at odds over the causes, with 81 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,280 debates around the impact of new rules like the pitch clock. 82 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,920 But the underlying issue remains the relentless quest for greater pitch velocity and effectiveness 83 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,360 at the cost of long-term health. 84 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:05,380 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Cubs again 10 to 2. 85 00:07:05,380 --> 00:07:11,960 And in the NBA, the Clippers on the road lost to the Suns 124 to 108. 86 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,320 Tonight, the Kings are at home to take on the flames. 87 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:25,040 In top news, the debate on how to load a dishwasher is staring households across the U.S., with 88 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,360 even British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak weighing in. 89 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:35,880 Naina and Steven Edwards, a couple in New York, embody this domestic disagreement. 90 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:41,640 Naina prefers a more relaxed approach, while Steven meticulously plans the dish placement 91 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,480 for optimal cleanliness. 92 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:49,960 This household dilemma extends beyond personal preference, where social media talking heads 93 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:56,360 and experts alike are sparking discussions on the proper methods and efficiency. 94 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:03,120 A YouGov Omnibus survey found that 65% of Americans believe there's a right and wrong 95 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:09,420 way to load a dishwasher, highlighting the intensity of this seemingly trivial, yet universally 96 00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:12,680 relatable household debate. 97 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,080 I mean, is it even a debate? 98 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,320 Obviously, you should spend the extra mental time to plan out your methodology and get 99 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,600 as many dishes packed safely with the optimal amount of cleanliness. 100 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,600 Duh. 101 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:34,520 In business news, combating inflation is proving to be a challenging task, akin to the difficulty 102 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,800 of losing those final few pounds. 103 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,880 Despite significant improvement from two years ago, when inflation peaked at 9%, it remains 104 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,600 stubbornly above 3% this year. 105 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:53,560 March saw a 3.5% increase in consumer prices from the previous year, signaling a slight 106 00:08:53,560 --> 00:08:57,000 acceleration in inflation. 107 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:02,680 Essential expenses like rents, car insurance, and electricity are key contributors, affecting 108 00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:05,640 people's daily financial burdens. 109 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:11,560 Additionally, rising oil prices threaten to escalate gas prices further, complicating 110 00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,400 efforts to reduce inflation. 111 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:20,640 The Federal Reserve aims to lower inflation to its 2% target before considering rate cuts, 112 00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:25,560 maintaining a cautious stance despite market hopes for easing. 113 00:09:25,560 --> 00:09:31,240 This situation underscores the complex and persistent nature of inflation, posing a dilemma 114 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:37,520 for policymakers and impacting public sentiment towards the economy. 115 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:43,040 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just over $70,000. 116 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,520 Ethereum is at $3,500. 117 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:52,360 And Solana is $173. 118 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,760 Moving on to a more local vibe. 119 00:09:55,760 --> 00:10:01,700 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 120 00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:05,880 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 121 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:10,960 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations in the San Diego area. 122 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:17,080 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 123 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,520 and elevating mental well-being. 124 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,880 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 125 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:30,200 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 126 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:35,440 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 127 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,560 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 128 00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,240 And now, back to the show. 129 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:45,240 Let's talk tech. 130 00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:50,480 Starting today, internet service providers in the U.S. must display clear labels that 131 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:57,040 provide consumers with essential information about prices, speeds, and data caps. 132 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:02,720 This FCC mandate aims to enhance transparency, especially at the point of sale, ensuring 133 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,440 that customers understand the terms of their internet service plans. 134 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:14,600 Charge providers with over 100,000 subscribers must comply immediately, while smaller providers 135 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,720 have until October 10, 2024. 136 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:25,040 The labels will detail monthly charges, one-time fees, speed and latency, data allowances, 137 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,640 and any additional costs for exceeding data caps. 138 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:34,960 This initiative, part of a broader effort to eliminate hidden fees and provide consumers 139 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:39,880 with straightforward pricing, has been met with resistance from some internet service 140 00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:40,880 providers. 141 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:48,880 However, major companies like Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are already in compliance, 142 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:54,480 showcasing the FCC's commitment to consumer rights and the importance of transparency 143 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,480 in broadband services. 144 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:02,040 And in entertainment news. 145 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:07,240 Kevin Costner expressed his willingness to return to Yellowstone for the final season 146 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,680 to conclude his character's story. 147 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:16,280 And amid rumors of his departure and potential legal action against Paramount, Costner revealed 148 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:22,880 at CinemaCon that while he envisioned participating in seven seasons, his future on the show remains 149 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,920 uncertain. 150 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,680 He mentioned a desire for input on his character's fate, which is not typically allowed by the 151 00:12:30,680 --> 00:12:34,320 co-creator Taylor Sheridan. 152 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:40,040 As production for the next part of season five is expected to start soon, time for negotiating 153 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:42,600 Costner's return is dwindling. 154 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:49,400 Meanwhile, Costner's film Horizon, an American saga, is set to premiere at Cannes, marking 155 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:53,040 his return to the festival after 20 years. 156 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:58,660 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 157 00:12:58,660 --> 00:13:05,080 And today, our quote comes from the command module pilot of Apollo 13, Jack Swigert. 158 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:09,000 ...stir up your cryotanks. 159 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:14,000 In addition, I have a shaft and trunnion for a look at the comet Bennett if you need it. 160 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,000 Okay, standby. 161 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here. 162 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,000 This is Houston, say again, please. 163 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:18,000 Houston, we've had a problem. 164 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,000 We've had a main B bus undervolt. 165 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,000 Roger, main B undervolt. 166 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:29,120 Okay, standby 13, we're looking at it. 167 00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:36,440 And we had a pretty large bang associated with the caution and warning there. 168 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:45,000 And if I recall, main B was the one that had a ham spike on it once before. 169 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,640 And that's a wrap for this morning. 170 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:53,800 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 171 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,160 with local news and the surf reports. 172 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,120 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 173 00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:19,120 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
