Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then

But first, you'll be interested to know.

In local news, B-Cycle, an e-bike rental company, has decided to withdraw from Encinitas due
to lower than expected usage since its launch in early 2022.
The company struggled with profitability as confirmed by Encinitas Mayor Tony Kranz, who
expressed disappointment, but acknowledged the financial losses involved.
B-Cycle's more successful operations in other cities, contrast with Encinitas, where
despite 5,500 unique riders traveling around 123,000 miles, the program did not meet economic
expectations.
The company plans to phase out its less popular rental stations by May 20 while refunding
annual memberships.
Now on to sports.

On top news, Japanese scientists at Kyoto University Hospital are embarking on pioneering
clinical trials to test a new treatment that could enable the regrowth of teeth.
This groundbreaking research, led by Teragium Biopharma, targets individuals suffering from
congenital anedontia, a condition where some or all teeth are missing from birth.
Focusing on ensuring the treatment's safety in adults missing teeth, the trial aims to
expand to younger patients.
This innovative approach has shown promise in animal studies and could revolutionize
dental care by providing a viable alternative to implants and dentures.
In business news, several key players saw significant movements in the stock market
yesterday.
Berkshire Hathaway enjoyed a 1% increase after reporting a 39% rise in first quarter operating
profit, reaching a record of over $11 billion.
This surge was propelled by its robust property and casualty, insurance business, and heightened
investment income.
However, Berkshire also reduced its stake in Apple by about 13%, leading to a slight
dip in Apple's stock by 1%, despite a strong earnings report last week.
Microtechnology saw a notable 5% increase after an upgrade from Baird, while Tesla's
stock rose by 2% following the announcement of a new long-range model A.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
A recent study has highlighted another potential threat to bumblebees, rising global temperatures.
Researchers found that bumblebees, which thrive at nest temperatures between 82 and 90 degrees,
struggle to survive when temperatures near 97 degrees.
This study, which spans literature from the 1840s to present, indicates that such high
temperatures compromise the bees' survival by affecting their reproductive capacities
and the health of worker bees.
Given that last year was the hottest on record, and with the increasing frequency of such
record-breaking temperatures, the ability of bumblebees to adapt to these changes remains
a critical concern.
This research underscores the importance of addressing global warming alongside other
threats like habitat loss and pesticide use to protect these crucial pollinators.
And in entertainment news.
James Gunn has unveiled the new look for Superman, featuring David Corenswett in the iconic suit,
which appears notably weathered, hinting at intense action sequences in the upcoming movie.
This marks Corenswett's first major lead role in a Hollywood blockbuster.
Superman, set for a July 2025 release, also stars Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas
Holt as Lex Luthor.
The ensemble cast includes talents like Spiler De Sando and Anthony Carrigan, adding depth
to the anticipated superhero film.
Gunn's decision to simplify the film's title from Superman, Legacy to just Superman,
reflects a possibly streamlined approach to the storied franchise.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
