Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Monday, May 19th. You'll be interested
to know, 104 years ago today, in 1921, the United
States Congress passed the Emergency Quota Act,
establishing national quotas on immigration.
This landmark legislation marked a significant
shift in American immigration policy, introducing
numerical limits based on nationality. While
it reflected the complexities of its time, the
Act also set the stage for future discussions
and reforms, highlighting the nation's evolving
approach to diversity and inclusion. So now you
know. And now, it's time for the SURF Report.
Monday at Tourmaline and South San Diego. It's
looking clean this morning with waist to chest
high sets rolling in. Weights hold around three
plus feet early on, offering great conditions.

as the day begins. Conditions may shift later,
so enjoy the morning while it lasts. Best time

conditions. Wednesday stands out with consistent
suds and occasional larger waves. Overall, a

news, a controversial $125 million deal between
California and Google aimed at supporting local
journalism is already set to shrink before any
funds have been delivered. Governor Gavin Newsom
proposed cutting the state's initial payment
from $30 million. to $10 million due to budget
shortfalls. This move has outraged local news
advocates, questioning Google's commitment to
its matching funds. The deal struck last August,
lacked signed agreements, relying on public promises
instead. As media companies face significant
job losses, the reduction in funding raises concerns
about the future of journalism in California.
Now on to sports. Scotty Scheffler, the world's
number one, has claimed his second major title
of the season at the PGA Championship, winning
by five strokes at Quail Hollow in Charlotte,
North Carolina. Despite not being at his best,
Scheffler secured victory with an impressive
11 under par. This win marks his third major
championship. After a shaky start where he briefly
lost his five -stroke lead, Scheffler regained
his composure, showcasing his dominance. He has
held the top ranking since May 2023 and is now
halfway to a career Grand Slam with the U .S.
and British Opens approaching. Yesterday afternoon
in San Diego, the Mariners defeated the Padres
6 -1. San Diego's lone highlight was a solo homer
by Tatis Jr. in the first inning, while a Rose
Arena's three -run blast in the fourth secured
the win for Seattle. King struggled, taking a
loss after allowing five runs over five and one
-third innings. The Friars now stand at 27 -18.
Tomorrow afternoon, the Friars take on the Blue
Jays in Toronto for Game 1 of a three -game series.
Dylan sees, with a 4 .60 ERA, faces Chris Bassett,
boasting a 3 .16 ERA. First pitch is at 4 .07
at the Rogers Center, under the dome. In top
news, our return to office mandate is a subtle
way for companies to encourage employees to quit.
This theory, once dismissed as cynical, is gaining
traction. For instance, Amazon's decision to
end hybrid work prompted an executive to say,
Similar sentiments were echoed by Elon Musk,
who welcomed a wave of voluntary terminations.
While some firms believe that in -person work
boosts productivity, it risks losing top talent.
Research shows that hybrid work enhances engagement
and retention. Companies might consider adopting
more flexible policies to retain their best employees
while navigating these challenging times. In
business news, Verizon's $20 billion merger with
Frontier, a fiber internet provider, has received
approval from the Federal Communications Commission.
This agreement allows Verizon to upgrade and
expand Frontier's fiber networks, aiming to connect
one million homes annually. The deal was contingent
upon Verizon's commitment to ending diversity
equity and inclusion practices, as stated by
SCC Chair Brendan Carr. Verizon will eliminate
human resources roles focused on DEI and remove
related terminology from employee training. This
merger also allows Verizon to reclaim parts of
its fiber business sold in 2015, which will enhance
connectivity in various communities. In crypto
movement, Bitcoin is up 0 .5 % over the weekend
to about $105 ,000. Ethereum is down 7 % to just

show. Let's talk science. A recent study reveals
that a genetic mutation allows some individuals
to thrive on just four hours of sleep. While
most require about eight to nine hours to feel
rested, This short sleep mutation enables people
to function well after only three to six hours.
Neuroscientist Yinghuo Fu discovered a new mutation
affecting the gene, which plays a role in regulating
metabolism and circadian rhythm. This research,
published in the journal Proceedings of the National
Academy of Sciences, may lead to new treatments
for sleep disorders, enhancing our understanding
of sleep's genetic foundations. Entertainment
news. Christopher Nolan's upcoming film, The
Odyssey, will make history as the first feature
film shot entirely on IMAX film. The company
had to create new film cameras to achieve this
groundbreaking feat. While Avengers Infinity
War was the first film shot using IMAX hardware,
the Odyssey stands up for using film rather than
digital technology. IMAX CEO Rich Gelfand shared
that the project began with a challenge from
Nolan, who urged IMAX to innovate. The new cameras
are lighter, quieter, and will eventually be
available to other filmmakers after the Odyssey
completes production. Well, alrighty folks, it's
time for the quote of the day. And today, our
quote comes from the British naturalist and geologist,
Charles Darwin. And he said, It is not the strongest
of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent,
but the one most responsive to change. And that's
a wrap for this morning. You can check out our
Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. for some captivating
