00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:54,120 In local news, the San Diego Padres' starting pitcher, Hugh Darvish, is eyeing a potential 48 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,160 return to the mound this year. 49 00:03:57,160 --> 00:04:02,120 According to Dennis Lin from The Athletic, Darvish threw live batting practice at a high 50 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,240 school in the San Diego area on Sunday. 51 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:11,080 Viewers noted that Darvish appeared healthy and in good form. 52 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,480 Having been out since May due to multiple injuries, Darvish has been working out and 53 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,240 throwing on his own since early July. 54 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,400 Initially placed on the restricted list on July 6, for a personal matter, Darvish now 55 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:32,060 seems closer to making his comeback. 56 00:04:32,060 --> 00:04:34,560 Now on to sports. 57 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:40,440 New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed regret over misleading comments he made about 58 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:45,400 his vaccination status during the COVID-19 pandemic. 59 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:51,840 In the unauthorized biography, Out of the Darkness, the mystery of Aaron Rodgers, releasing 60 00:04:51,840 --> 00:04:57,160 next week, Rodgers admitted he should not have claimed to be immunized against the virus 61 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,720 in August 2021, while with the Green Bay Packers. 62 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:09,760 Rodgers later tested positive for COVID-19 in November 2021, revealing he was unvaccinated. 63 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:15,520 He explained his concerns about vaccine ingredients on the Pat McAfee Show. 64 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:21,880 Rodgers now feels he should have been more transparent about his status. 65 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:29,060 In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Pirates 2-1. 66 00:05:29,060 --> 00:05:37,880 The Friars are at home for game two of the three-game series against the Pirates. 67 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:44,620 In top news, in the latest property report on San Francisco, the city's hotel industry 68 00:05:44,620 --> 00:05:51,440 is facing a severe debt crisis, with visitor numbers plummeting since the pandemic. 69 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,480 Commercial mortgage-backed security loans in the hospitality sector saw delinquencies 70 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:04,280 soar to 41.6 percent in June, up from 5.7 percent in June 2023. 71 00:06:04,280 --> 00:06:10,680 Hotel occupancy in June shows a 22 percent decline compared to 2019. 72 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:18,040 Major hotels like Hilton Park 55 and Hilton San Francisco Union Square have lost $1 billion 73 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,920 in value. 74 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:25,740 Hotel staffers are facing reduced hours, and many are seeking second jobs. 75 00:06:25,740 --> 00:06:33,600 In business news, Johnson & Johnson has garnered enough support for a $6 billion, $500 million 76 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,720 settlement over allegations that its Telk products caused cancer. 77 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:44,440 Seventy-five percent of claimants backed the proposal, a key threshold for Johnson & Johnson's 78 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:49,040 third attempt to place a subsidiary in bankruptcy protection. 79 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:55,200 The company faces lawsuits from about 61,000 claimants alleging its products were contaminated 80 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,360 with asbestos. 81 00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:03,040 Johnson & Johnson denies these allegations, asserting its products are safe. 82 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:08,520 The healthcare giant's Texas two-step bankruptcy maneuver aims to consolidate all claims into 83 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,520 one settlement, without requiring the company itself to file for bankruptcy. 84 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:23,920 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $59,000, Ethereum is just under $2,700, and 85 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:29,280 Solana is $146. 86 00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,960 Moving on to a more local vibe. 87 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:38,920 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio

show. 97 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,040 Let's talk science. 98 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:27,480 Yesterday, the Earth was hit by an intense solar storm, potentially bringing the northern 99 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:32,600 lights further south than usual, according to a U.S. agency. 100 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:39,240 The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, reported a level 4 geomagnetic 101 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,640 storm on a scale of 5. 102 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:49,880 This severe storm could make auroras visible as far south as Alabama and northern California. 103 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:55,680 Caused by coronal mass ejections, these storms disrupt Earth's magnetic field. 104 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:01,160 While they can create beautiful auroras, they also pose risks, such as degrading communications 105 00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000 and disrupting satellites. 106 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,560 The sun is near its peak activity in its 11-year cycle. 107 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:18,280 And in entertainment news, Tom Cruise performs a crazy stunt jump from a stadium roof during 108 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,960 the Olympics closing ceremony in Paris. 109 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:27,280 The Mission Impossible star descended from the top of the Stade de France on a cable, 110 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:31,360 landed on the arena floor, and mingled with athletes. 111 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,720 As part of the handoff to Los Angeles for the 2028 Games, Cruise attached the Olympic 112 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:42,040 flag to a motorcycle and exited through a cheering crowd. 113 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:46,600 In a pre-taped segment, he was seen riding through Paris to a plane, eventually appearing 114 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,560 at the Hollywood sign, where the Olympic rings replaced the double O's. 115 00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:57,740 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 116 00:09:57,740 --> 00:10:03,840 And today, our quote comes from the American humorist and writer, Bill Vaughn. 117 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:10,300 And he said, If the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only 118 00:10:10,300 --> 00:10:15,180 left-handed people are in their right minds. 119 00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:17,800 And that's a wrap for this morning. 120 00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:23,920 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 121 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,200 with local news and the surf reports. 122 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,200 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 123 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,840 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
