Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Wednesday, December 3rd. You'll be interested
to know. 58 years ago, today, in 1967, a team
led by South African surgeon Christian Barnard
performed the first human heart transplant, replacing
a failing heart with a donor organ in a complex
surgical milestone. The achievement proved that
organ replacement was possible and opened new
paths for life -saving cardiac surgery worldwide.
So now you know. And now, it's time for the Surf
Report. Wednesday at Tourmaline. This morning,
it's looking clean with waves around 5 to 8 feet.
Conditions stay clean as we move into the morning,
dropping to 4 to 6 feet by noon. Winds are light
and onshore, starting at 1 mile per hour and
increasing to 5 mile per hour by the afternoon.
Best time to ride is at 7 a .m. with a 7 -foot
high tide when the west swell is 4 feet at 16
seconds and the onshore wind is 0 mile per hour.
The first high tide on Wednesday will be 7 feet
just before 7 a .m., followed by a minus 1 and
a half foot low tide just before 2. The nearshore
buoy at Mission Bay West reads 64 degrees for
the water temperature. Thursday offers clean
conditions with waves in the 4 to 5 plus feet
range, ideal for catching a barrel early on.
Friday sees a drop to 2 to 3 plus feet, maintaining
clean faces but becoming choppy later in the
day. Saturday remains steady at 2 to 3 feet with
fair conditions but lacks the excitement of Thursday's
bigger swell. This morning, it's cloudy and it
feels like 58 degrees with no wind. The sunset
will take place at 442 and it will rise again
tomorrow at 639. It looks like we're in for a
mostly cloudy day with a high near 66 and a light
east wind at about 10 miles per hour. Tonight,
expect mostly cloudy skies with a low around
49 and a gentle north wind. Looking ahead in
the weather, Thursday will be sunny with a high
near 70 and west winds up to 10 miles per hour,
besting as high as 20. Lowes will be in the upper
40s Thursday night and around 50 to low 50s Friday
and Saturday nights as sunny skies continue with
highs in the upper 60s through Sunday. Bonjour,

the fifth monthly decline. Nicholas Godek of
S &P Dow Jones Indices stated September's monthly

increased commercials in Week 13. So much for
commercial -free football. During its seven -hour
broadcast, Red Zone aired 16 advertisements ranging

increase from the four ads promised at this season's
start. The telecast included two minutes of double
-box advertisements split across game windows.
In total, Red Zone aired 16 elements of sponsored
content, for a combined 5 minutes and 10 seconds.

many people are preparing to shovel snow. which
can be dangerous for those with pre -existing
heart conditions. Dr. Barry Franklin noted that
shoveling heavy snow can be more demanding on
the heart than a treadmill stress test. Between
1990 and 2006, nearly 200 ,000 adults were treated

in over 1 ,600 deaths. Dr. John Osborne advised
that adults 65 and older should be more cautious,

wager on Bitcoin came just before a downturn
in the cryptocurrency market. The university

in its last quarterly report. Although Bitcoin
rebounded recently, It has dropped over 20 %
this quarter. Harvard could have avoided losses

negligible for Harvard's endowment, which totals
$57 billion. This incident highlights the risks

tech. Security researchers have discovered that
Wi -Fi signals can be used to image environments
and identify people with near 100 % accuracy.
In the future, anyone who regularly walks past
a cafe or restaurant with public Wi -Fi could
be identified, even without a smartphone. Researchers
at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have found
that commercially available Wi -Fi routers can
recognize individuals based on signal changes
from nearby devices. The propagation of Wi -Fi
radio waves can create an image of the router's
physical environment, similar to how cameras
work. This technology poses a serious risk to
personal privacy as it could allow surveillance

Netflix has proposed acquisition of Warner Brothers
Discovery Studios and streaming unit is expected
to lower streaming costs for consumers by bundling
Netflix and HBO Max according to sources familiar
with the proposal The vast majority of Netflix
users also subscribe to HBO Max. In recent talks,
Netflix argued that the combination would benefit
consumers by reducing the cost of a bundled offering.
This move aims to address potential regulatory
concerns regarding consumer choice and pricing.

content library, but may not significantly increase
its market share. Analysts suggest that this
combination could create a formidable competitor
to other services. Well, alrighty folks, it's

not the triumph. Success is a personal standard,
reaching for the highest that is in us, becoming
all that we can be. And that's a wrap for this
