clean with manageable wave heights around 2 feet,
but by Monday surf will rise to well overhead
at 6 to 9 feet. The persistent winds will significantly
affect surf quality throughout the period. This
morning, it's mostly sunny and it feels like
53 degrees with no wind. The sunset will take

news, California may soon restrict small -sized
middle and high school students from riding in
the front seat of vehicles. Advocates cite crash
statistics showing that smaller children face
higher risks when not in the backseat or using
a booster seat. A proposed bill would require
all children under the age of 10 to use booster
seats and prohibit those under 13 from the front
seat. The bill's author, Assemblymember Lori
Wilson, emphasized the need for safety, noting
the alarming injury and fatality rates among
children in crashes. Critics expressed concerns
about enforcement and potential profiling. The
bill is now headed to the Assembly Appropriations
Committee. Now on to sports. This season, the
National Football League will introduce Sony's
Hawkeye cameras to track ball position, replacing
the manual method used for decades. These 8K
cameras will utilize virtual measurement technology
to quickly determine if the ball has traveled
the required 10 yards for a first down. The system
comprises six cameras that create a digital recreation
of the measurement, which will be displayed in
stadiums and on television. While measuring with
the Hawkeye system takes around 30 seconds, significantly
faster than the chain crew's time, the crew will
still be present on the field in a secondary
role. In local sports. Last night, the Lakers

Pelicans, who are 21 -55 at the Crypto .com Arena.

top news. In Mammoth Lakes, California, three
individuals have tragically died from Hantavirus,
the same virus that claimed the life of Gene
Hackman's wife, Betsy Arakawa. Health officials
reported these unusual cases. as fewer than 100
California residents have been diagnosed since
1980. The recent deaths involving a young adult
occurred despite no evidence of mouse activity
in their homes. Investigators noted a potential
deer mouse population boom could be contributing
to these infections. Public health officials
urged residents to take precautions, such as
trapping rodents and properly storing food, to
prevent further cases. In business news, global
economies are bracing for a potential flood of
cheap Chinese goods as President Donald Trump's
tariffs threaten to reshape trade dynamics. Starting
April 9th, Chinese imports will face tariffs
averaging around 70%. This move could drive up
prices for various products in the United States,
including electronics and toys. Economists warn
that this could worsen the ongoing China shock,
diverting U .S.-bound exports to an already saturated
global market. With retaliatory measures likely,
the situation underscores how quickly trade wars
can escalate, leaving other countries struggling
to absorb the excess manufacturing capacity from
China. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up half
a percent for the week. to just over $83 ,000.

Just be sure to tell them sunny morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. A groundbreaking new super alloy designed
from copper and tantalum with added lithium can
endure temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius,
which is 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. This innovative
material not only withstands extreme heat, but
also boasts a remarkable yield strength of 1
,120 MPa, surpassing traditional copper alloys.
Researchers from several U .S. universities and
the U .S. Army Research Laboratory developed
this alloy, which mimics the strengthening mechanisms
of nickel -based superalloys. This advancement
may lead to more durable materials for various
sectors, including aerospace and military applications.
Entertainment news. David Fincher is set to direct
a sequel to Quentin Tarantino's 2019 film titled
Twice Upon a Time in Hollywood. This project,
which will debut on Netflix, is based on a script
written by Tarantino. Brad Pitt is expected to
reprise his Oscar -winning role as Cliff Booth.
while Leonardo DiCaprio's return has not yet
been confirmed. Notably, this sequel does not
count toward Tarantino's self -imposed limit

a new movie with the same characters. The casting
is anticipated to be as impressive as the original.
