In local news, in a significant change for older drivers, the California Department of 36 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:31,040 Motor Vehicles announced that individuals aged 70 and older will no longer need to take a knowledge 37 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,880 test for license renewal. Previously, this test was mandatory once a driver reached 70, but now 38 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:45,760 those without traffic violations can skip it entirely. VMV Director Steve Corton stated, 39 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:52,480 we are eliminating the written knowledge test to improve customer service. However, first-time 40 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:57,680 drivers and those with poor driving records must still undergo the knowledge test. 41 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,240 Officials recommend starting applications online to minimize office visits. 42 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:15,280 Now on to sports. The 12 teams heading into the MLB postseason showcase different strategies for 43 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:22,880 success. The Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians lead with 16 and 15 homegrown players, 44 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:30,400 respectively. The Houston Astros excel in wins above replacement, producing 30.8 from homegrown 45 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:38,160 talent. Meanwhile, the San Diego Padres dominate with 12 trade acquisitions, despite having only 46 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:45,040 three homegrown players. The Los Angeles Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies also stand out, with 47 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:51,440 the Phillies achieving the highest total wins above replacement at 50.1. The San Diego Padres 48 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,360 also have a high total wins above replacement at 50.1. These different approaches highlight the 49 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:03,760 many ways to build a winning roster. Tonight, the Houston Astros host the Detroit Tigers at 50 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:11,360 Minute Maid Park, starting at 2.30 Eastern on ABC, with Astros Framber Valdez facing Tigers 51 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,240 Tarek Schubel. Later, the Baltimore Orioles welcome the Kansas City Royals to Camden Yards 52 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:26,640 and ESPN 2, where Corbin Burns will face Royals left-hander Cole Regans. The Milwaukee Brewers 53 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:34,240 take on the New York Mets at American Family Field at 5.30 Eastern on ESPN, with Freddie Peralta 54 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:43,520 pitching against Luis Severino in local sports. Tonight, the Padres kick off their five-game 55 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:49,760 wild-card series, hosting the Atlanta Braves at Petco Park at 5.30 on ESPN. 56 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:56,240 The Friars right-hander, Michael King, takes the mound, while the Braves have yet to announce 57 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:05,920 their starting pitcher. Let's go, Padres! In top news, Hurricane Helene has abruptly 58 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:11,440 shifted the narrative of this year's hurricane season, which began quietly but has now seen 59 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:19,520 unprecedented storm activity. Helene, a Category 4 storm, slammed into Florida's Big Bend, fueled 60 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:26,800 by exceptionally warm Caribbean waters. Forecasters are already warning of more storms on the horizon. 61 00:06:27,840 --> 00:06:33,920 Meteorologists at Colorado State University note that climate change is complicating predictions, 62 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:39,680 with scientists observing an increase in major hurricanes, particularly those undergoing rapid 63 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:46,720 intensification. The unusual quiet before Helene's landfall highlights the challenges of forecasting 64 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:53,440 in a warming world. Experts stress the need for careful study of this unpredictable season. 65 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:02,560 In business news, FAIR, a platform for small businesses, experienced a meteoric rise to 66 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:11,040 a valuation of $12 billion, but not without facing substantial challenges. Co-founder Max Rhodes 67 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:17,040 reflected on the icky feeling of rapid growth, fueled by venture capital but leading to slow 68 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:23,920 customer service and operational inefficiencies. As complaints mounted and growth stalled, 69 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,240 FAIR's leadership realized they needed to pivot towards sustainable growth. 70 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:32,880 By reevaluating their approach, they focused on building lasting relationships, 71 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,880 improving their algorithm, and cutting low-quality suppliers. 72 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:44,240 After laying off staff and adjusting their valuation to $5 billion, they aim to foster 73 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:50,880 long-term success while learning from past mistakes. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just 74 00:07:50,880 --> 00:08:01,600 under $63,800. Ethereum is just over $2,600. And Solana is $155. 75 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:10,560 Moving on to a more local vibe.

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the show. 82 00:08:56,480 --> 00:09:02,480 Let's talk science. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have developed a 83 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:08,560 promising method for recycling plastics by vaporizing them. This innovative technique 84 00:09:08,560 --> 00:09:14,640 targets two common plastics, polypropylene and polyethylene, which are notoriously difficult to 85 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:21,520 recycle due to their strong carbon bonds. By using catalysts, the researchers can break these bonds, 86 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:27,360 converting the plastics into propylene and isobutylene, valuable gases that can be turned 87 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:33,520 into new plastics. While the process shows great potential, scaling it up will be essential to 88 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,680 effectively combat plastic waste. The team emphasizes that reducing reliance on fossil 89 00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:43,760 fuel sources could significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions. 90 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:54,880 Entertainment News. Megalopolis has been released and was directed by the legendary Francis Ford 91 00:09:54,880 --> 00:10:02,720 Coppola. Featuring a star-studded cast, including Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, and Nathalie 92 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:09,840 Emanuel, the film explores an alternate future America, where architects, artists, and politicians 93 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:16,800 vie for the soul of a New York-like city. This ambitious, self-funded project with a budget of 94 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:24,000 120 million dollars blends modern myths with ancient themes. While it may be chaotic and 95 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,920 challenging, Coppola's unique vision raises profound questions about the future of America. 96 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:37,680 Time will ultimately reveal its legacy. Well, all righty, folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 97 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:44,640 And today, our quote comes from the American business magnate and philanthropist, John D. 98 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:53,040 Rockefeller. And he said, the ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or 99 00:10:53,040 --> 00:11:01,280 coffee, and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun. And that's a wrap for 100 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:08,240 this morning. You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial 101 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:15,200 videos with local news and the surf reports. Have an amazing day, my good friends.
