00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:04.240
Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,

00:00:04.700 --> 00:00:09.140
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,

00:00:09.400 --> 00:00:13.660
and it's Wednesday, October 8th. You'll be interested

00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:20.260
to know. 77 years ago, today in 1948, the world

00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:23.300
witnessed a remarkable first when a pioneering

00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.480
Swedish engineer, Arne Larsson, received the

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.539
world's first internal pacemaker implant in Salna

00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:32.659
City, Sweden. A moment that heralded a new era

00:00:32.659 --> 00:00:36.159
in life -saving cardiac technology, inspiring

00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.679
generations of medical innovators. So now you

00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.200
know. And now it's time for the Surf Report.

00:00:48.179 --> 00:00:51.719
Wednesday at Tourmaline. This morning it's looking

00:00:51.719 --> 00:00:56.359
fair with waves around two to three feet. Conditions

00:00:56.359 --> 00:00:59.240
hold steady until about 9 when the wind shifts

00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.439
on shore, making things choppy. Expect the wind

00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:06.760
to pick up to 10 miles per hour by noon, keeping

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:09.180
that choppy texture throughout the afternoon.

00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:14.099
Best time to ride is at 7 a .m. with a four -foot

00:01:14.099 --> 00:01:17.599
incoming mid -tide when the southwest swell is

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:21.200
one and a half feet at 15 seconds and the side

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.109
shore wind is six mile per hour. The first high

00:01:25.109 --> 00:01:27.709
tide on Wednesday will be six and a half feet

00:01:27.709 --> 00:01:31.450
at 10 a .m. Followed by a minus half foot low

00:01:31.450 --> 00:01:36.409
tide just before five. The nearshore GUI at Mission

00:01:36.409 --> 00:01:40.730
Bay West reads 69 degrees for the water temperature.

00:01:42.290 --> 00:01:44.769
Choppy conditions persist Thursday with waves

00:01:44.769 --> 00:01:47.909
around one to two feet and north -northwest winds

00:01:47.909 --> 00:01:52.099
at 10 miles per hour. Friday sees similar choppy

00:01:52.099 --> 00:01:55.340
surf at 2 feet, maintaining onshore winds around

00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:59.299
11 miles per hour. Conditions improve Saturday

00:01:59.299 --> 00:02:02.459
with fair surf building to 2 to 3 plus feet,

00:02:02.859 --> 00:02:05.219
though choppy conditions return in the afternoon

00:02:05.219 --> 00:02:10.360
as winds shift southwest. This morning, it's

00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:14.400
mostly cloudy and it feels like 67 degrees with

00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.460
5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take place

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:22.240
at 625, and it will rise again tomorrow at 650.

00:02:23.439 --> 00:02:25.840
It looks like we're in for a mostly sunny day,

00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:29.139
with a high near 74 and a light northwest breeze

00:02:29.139 --> 00:02:34.259
around 5 to 10 miles per hour. Tonight. Expect

00:02:34.259 --> 00:02:37.400
a slight chance of rain showers after 5 a .m.,

00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:41.240
partly cloudy skies, with a low around 62, and

00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.689
light winds. Looking ahead in the weather. Thursday

00:02:46.689 --> 00:02:50.349
will be partly sunny with a high near 75 and

00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:53.889
a northwest wind 5 to 10 miles per hour, gusting

00:02:53.889 --> 00:02:56.490
as high as 20, with a slight chance of showers

00:02:56.490 --> 00:02:59.389
early than a chance of thunderstorms late morning

00:02:59.389 --> 00:03:03.590
into the afternoon. A chance of showers and thunderstorms

00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:06.449
continues Thursday night with a low near 66.

00:03:06.889 --> 00:03:09.430
Then the weekend turns dry with highs in the

00:03:09.430 --> 00:03:13.349
mid 70s Saturday and Sunday and lows around 59.

00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:17.750
Bonjour, food enthusiasts. This podcast is brought

00:03:17.750 --> 00:03:21.590
to you by Versailles Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

00:03:22.409 --> 00:03:25.509
Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north of

00:03:25.509 --> 00:03:29.189
Encinitas Boulevard, this cafe is a haven for

00:03:29.189 --> 00:03:33.310
culinary delights. Indulge in their amazing eggs

00:03:33.310 --> 00:03:37.330
Benedict or their gluten -free crepes. You can

00:03:37.330 --> 00:03:40.370
grab a panini for lunch or just breeze on through

00:03:40.370 --> 00:03:43.629
to get your morning coffee. They are open every

00:03:43.629 --> 00:03:47.969
day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget

00:03:47.969 --> 00:03:52.870
to tell them. Sunny mornings send you. In local

00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:56.490
news, an all -time record number of sick sea

00:03:56.490 --> 00:03:59.430
lions has washed up on California beaches since

00:03:59.430 --> 00:04:02.430
a deadly bacterial disease broke out this summer.

00:04:02.669 --> 00:04:05.849
according to the Sausalito -based Marine Mammal

00:04:05.849 --> 00:04:09.689
Center. The outbreak has been especially concentrated

00:04:09.689 --> 00:04:13.069
in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, with at

00:04:13.069 --> 00:04:17.769
least 375 cases of leptospirosis reported since

00:04:17.769 --> 00:04:21.449
July 1st. The death rate has been unusually high

00:04:21.449 --> 00:04:24.189
this year, and Marine Mammal Center spokesman

00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:27.490
Giancarlo Rulli noted that rescuers are still

00:04:27.490 --> 00:04:31.220
responding to two or three rescues daily. While

00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:33.600
the outbreak appears to be slowing, concerns

00:04:33.600 --> 00:04:36.199
remain about the unpredictable nature of this

00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:38.920
disease and its implications for the health of

00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:48.399
the ocean. Now on to sports. The Cleveland Browns

00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.240
traded quarterback Joe Flacco and a sixth round

00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:54.100
pick to the Cincinnati Bengals for a fifth round

00:04:54.100 --> 00:04:57.610
selection on Tuesday. The Bengals, struggling

00:04:57.610 --> 00:05:01.250
with a 2 -win and 3 -lost record, have been reeling

00:05:01.250 --> 00:05:04.470
without quarterback Joe Burrow, who was out with

00:05:04.470 --> 00:05:08.790
turf toe. Meanwhile, the Browns, with a 1 -win

00:05:08.790 --> 00:05:11.990
and 4 -lost record, opted for youth over Flacco,

00:05:12.410 --> 00:05:15.750
who was recently benched. This trade improves

00:05:15.750 --> 00:05:18.189
the Browns' draft stock while giving the Bengals

00:05:18.189 --> 00:05:21.009
a veteran presence in Flacco, who is expected

00:05:21.009 --> 00:05:24.439
to help until Burrow returns in December. The

00:05:24.439 --> 00:05:26.639
trade could also pave the way for rookie Shadir

00:05:26.639 --> 00:05:31.779
Sanders to make his NFL debut in local sports.

00:05:33.240 --> 00:05:37.040
San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. has

00:05:37.040 --> 00:05:39.680
been ordered by an arbitrator to pay Big League

00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.220
Advance $3 ,700 ,000. Big League Advance recently

00:05:46.220 --> 00:05:48.819
petitioned the Superior Court of District of

00:05:48.819 --> 00:05:51.740
Columbia to confirm an arbitration award against

00:05:51.740 --> 00:05:55.980
Tatis. The petition was filed on September 24

00:05:55.980 --> 00:05:59.259
and included a copy of a September 11 decision

00:05:59.259 --> 00:06:03.620
by arbitrator Anthony J. Carpinello. This decision

00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:06.920
rejected Tati's request for a stay of the arbitration

00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.680
pending the outcome of the lawsuit he filed in

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:13.519
California. Tati signed a contract with Big League

00:06:13.519 --> 00:06:17.279
Advance in 2017, agreeing to give them 10 % of

00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:20.579
his future earnings for a $2 million upfront

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:24.800
payment. While a lawsuit is ongoing, the arbitrator's

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:30.000
recent ruling does not bode well for Tatis. In

00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.399
top news, Kaiser Permanente workers plan a massive

00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.259
strike across California next week. Tens of thousands

00:06:39.259 --> 00:06:41.680
of nurses and health professionals in Northern

00:06:41.680 --> 00:06:44.600
California are preparing to strike on October

00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:48.199
14th, in what union leaders say will be the largest

00:06:48.199 --> 00:06:51.889
work stoppage in the company's history. The United

00:06:51.889 --> 00:06:55.250
Nurses Associations of California and Union of

00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:57.870
Healthcare Professionals issued a 10 -day strike

00:06:57.870 --> 00:07:01.970
notice to Kaiser executives on Friday. The five

00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:04.769
-day strike is expected to affect more than two

00:07:04.769 --> 00:07:07.790
dozen hospitals and clinics across California

00:07:07.790 --> 00:07:12.050
and Hawaii. Union leaders cite stagnant wages

00:07:12.050 --> 00:07:17.220
and unsafe staffing levels as key issues. Kaiser

00:07:17.220 --> 00:07:20.240
Permanente stated it has been negotiating in

00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:24.980
good faith and hopes to avoid a strike. In business

00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:29.279
news, Bitcoin, the world's largest cryptocurrency,

00:07:29.980 --> 00:07:32.240
could join gold and the United States dollar

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.639
on central banks' balance sheets by 2030, according

00:07:35.639 --> 00:07:39.399
to strategists at Deutsche Bank. Central banks

00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.240
hold reserve assets to manage exchange rates

00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:47.759
and pay off external debt. Bitcoin has been too

00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.319
volatile and illiquid to qualify, but Deutsche

00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:54.740
Bank's Marion Labor and Camilla Cézanne argue

00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:59.399
that Bitcoin is now almost there. Bitcoin's growing

00:07:59.399 --> 00:08:02.379
liquidity, partly due to the United States' approval

00:08:02.379 --> 00:08:05.939
of spot Bitcoin exchange -traded funds in 2024,

00:08:06.699 --> 00:08:09.079
may make it more appealing to central banks.

00:08:10.019 --> 00:08:13.269
However, Bitcoin remains far from receiving approval

00:08:13.269 --> 00:08:16.269
from major central banks like the Federal Reserve

00:08:16.269 --> 00:08:20.509
and the European Central Bank. In crypto movement,

00:08:21.310 --> 00:08:26.470
Bitcoin is down 2 % to just under $122 ,000.

00:08:27.509 --> 00:08:32.970
Ethereum is down 5 % to just under $4 ,500. And

00:08:32.970 --> 00:08:40.279
XRP is down 4 % to $2 .86. Moving on to a more

00:08:40.279 --> 00:08:44.799
local vibe. In our community spotlight on health

00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:47.460
and wellness, we are working with a national

00:08:47.460 --> 00:08:50.360

strength, reducing tension, and elevating mental

00:09:05.539 --> 00:09:08.870
well -being. scientific research affirms its

00:09:08.870 --> 00:09:13.070
benefits. So now you can check out Club Pilates

for a free class with locations in Encinitas,

00:09:17.470 --> 00:09:21.110
Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more.

00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:24.730
Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent

00:09:24.730 --> 00:09:30.690
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk

00:09:30.690 --> 00:09:35.529
tech. Google's latest AI model uses a web browser

00:09:35.529 --> 00:09:40.509
like you do. The new Gemini 2 .5 computer use

00:09:40.509 --> 00:09:43.570
model can click, scroll, and type in a browser

00:09:43.570 --> 00:09:46.990
window to access data that is not available via

00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:50.769
an application programming interface. Google

00:09:50.769 --> 00:09:53.250
is previewing this model designed to navigate

00:09:53.250 --> 00:09:56.470
and interact with the web, letting AI agents

00:09:56.470 --> 00:09:59.429
perform tasks within human -designed interfaces.

00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.539
It utilizes visual understanding and reasoning

00:10:03.539 --> 00:10:07.200
capabilities to analyze user requests and complete

00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:11.679
tasks. Gemini 2 .5 is available to developers

00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:15.740
through Google AI Studio and Vertex AI with a

00:10:15.740 --> 00:10:23.179
demo on browser base. Entertainment news. Kiss

00:10:23.179 --> 00:10:26.720
of the Spider Woman is a stunning musical until

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.519
Jennifer Lopez starts singing. The film showcases

00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.620
a good story, despite generic songs from John

00:10:33.620 --> 00:10:36.580
Kander and Fred Ebb, which are weakly performed

00:10:36.580 --> 00:10:42.080
by Lopez. Breakout star Toneja dances beautifully,

00:10:42.379 --> 00:10:46.360
yet Lopez's performance lacks passion. Directed

00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.460
by Bill Condon, the film dazzles with choreography

00:10:49.460 --> 00:10:52.360
and production design, promising a bright future

00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:57.580
for Toneja. Lopez, resembling Madonna, shines

00:10:57.580 --> 00:11:00.500
as an actor and dancer, elevating moments with

00:11:00.500 --> 00:11:04.220
her performance. However, her singing fails to

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:07.379
impress, revealing a thin voice that lacks the

00:11:07.379 --> 00:11:11.159
needed strength for the role. Well, all righty,

00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:15.200
folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And

00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:18.019
today, our quote comes from the British philosopher

00:11:18.019 --> 00:11:22.059
and mathematician, Alfred North Whitehead. And

00:11:22.059 --> 00:11:25.740
he said, The art of progress is to preserve order

00:11:25.740 --> 00:11:28.779
amid change and to preserve change amid order.

00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.720
And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check

00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.460
out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some

00:11:37.460 --> 00:11:40.720
captivating aerial videos with local news and

00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.279
the surf reports. Have an amazing day, my good

00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.799
friends. We'll see you tomorrow with another

00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:49.279
episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
