WEBVTT 00:00:01.239 --> 00:00:04.240 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:09.140 Sunny Mornings in San Diego. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:13.800 and it's Tuesday, February 10th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:19.980 to know. Thirty years ago, today, in 1996, a 00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:22.739 purpose -built computer called Deep Blue beat 00:00:22.739 --> 00:00:25.579 the reigning world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, 00:00:25.620 --> 00:00:28.940 in a match, marking a landmark artificial intelligence 00:00:28.940 --> 00:00:32.460 victory. This achievement showed that specialized 00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:35.799 computing systems could outperform human expertise 00:00:35.799 --> 00:00:39.439 in strategic reasoning and inspired broader investment 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.399 in research in machine learning and intelligence 00:00:42.399 --> 00:00:48.700 systems. So now you know. And now it's time for 00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:55.380 the Surf Report. Tuesday at Tourmaline. This 00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.320 morning it's looking fair with four to five plus 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:01.659 feet waves. Conditions remain fair through the 00:01:01.659 --> 00:01:04.519 morning, but expect them to shift to choppy by 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.640 late morning as winds pick up to sideshore at 00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:12.200 9 miles per hour. Waves hold steady at 4 to 6 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.840 feet throughout the day, with sideshore winds 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:19.079 increasing to 11 miles per hour by noon. Best 00:01:19.079 --> 00:01:23.280 time to ride is at 7 a .m. with a 3 -foot outgoing 00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:26.620 mid -tide when the west swell is 3 and a half 00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:30.040 feet at 14 seconds. and the sight your wind is 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:34.099 3 mile per hour. The first low tide on Tuesday 00:01:34.099 --> 00:01:37.260 will be a half foot just before noon, followed 00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:42.040 by a zero foot low tide just after 1230. The 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.079 near shore buoy at Mission Bay West reads 64 00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:50.379 degrees for the water temperature. Choppy conditions 00:01:50.379 --> 00:01:53.200 persist Wednesday with waves ranging from 2 to 00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:56.680 4 feet and winds from the south at 16 mile per 00:01:56.680 --> 00:02:00.230 hour. Thursday sees fair conditions with similar 00:02:00.230 --> 00:02:03.150 wave heights, but a slight improvement in cleanliness, 00:02:03.670 --> 00:02:07.049 especially in the morning hours. Expect a notable 00:02:07.049 --> 00:02:09.830 increase on Friday, with waves building to 3 00:02:09.830 --> 00:02:13.009 to 5 feet and cleaner faces, especially later 00:02:13.009 --> 00:02:17.530 in the day. This morning there's patchy fog, 00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:21.530 and it feels like 58 degrees, with 5 mile per 00:02:21.530 --> 00:02:25.210 hour wind. The sunset will take place at 5 .30, 00:02:25.449 --> 00:02:29.789 and it will rise again tomorrow at 637. It looks 00:02:29.789 --> 00:02:32.310 like we're in for some patchy fog this morning, 00:02:32.689 --> 00:02:36.069 clearing by mid -morning with mostly cloudy skies 00:02:36.069 --> 00:02:40.210 and a high near 67, accompanied by a light south 00:02:40.210 --> 00:02:45.830 wind at 5 to 10 miles per hour tonight. Expect 00:02:45.830 --> 00:02:48.889 cloudy skies with rain showers likely after 10 00:02:48.889 --> 00:02:52.789 p .m., a low around 58, and a south wind at 10 00:02:52.789 --> 00:02:57.830 miles per hour gusting up to 20. Looking ahead 00:02:57.830 --> 00:03:01.210 in the weather, Wednesday will be cloudy with 00:03:01.210 --> 00:03:04.590 rain showers likely and a high near 65, with 00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:07.990 a south wind up to 15 miles per hour and gusts 00:03:07.990 --> 00:03:10.849 as high as 25 and about a tenth to a quarter 00:03:10.849 --> 00:03:14.310 inch of rain possible. A slight chance of showers 00:03:14.310 --> 00:03:16.789 lingers Wednesday night into Thursday morning 00:03:16.789 --> 00:03:20.659 with lows near 53. Then Thursday stays partly 00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:24.419 sunny with a high near 65 before drying and turning 00:03:24.419 --> 00:03:27.240 sunny Friday, and through Saturday with highs 00:03:27.240 --> 00:03:32.039 near 67 and nights in the low 50s.

In local 00:04:09.620 --> 00:04:13.719 news, Kaiser Permanente is facing a growing strike 00:04:13.719 --> 00:04:16.600 as hundreds of health care workers. including 00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:19.600 pharmacists and laboratory workers, joined nurses 00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.639 from the United Nurses Associations of California, 00:04:23.379 --> 00:04:25.860 Union of Health Care Professionals, protesting 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:29.279 what they call bad faith bargaining and unfair 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.740 labor practices. The strike now in its third 00:04:32.740 --> 00:04:35.579 week highlights accusations of staffing shortages 00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:39.980 and patient care delays. Kaiser reports that 00:04:39.980 --> 00:04:42.980 more employees are opting to return to work despite 00:04:42.980 --> 00:04:45.980 union pressures, stating, Employees who want 00:04:45.980 --> 00:04:48.480 to return to care for patients should not face 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.180 any level of intimidation from their unions. 00:04:52.220 --> 00:04:55.680 The company offered a 21 .5 % wage increase, 00:04:56.139 --> 00:04:58.759 but claims the union's demands could raise payroll 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:03.160 costs by $3 billion annually. Caregivers are 00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:05.540 urging Kaiser to return to the bargaining table 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:08.620 to prioritize safe staffing and patient care. 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:18.980 Now on to sports. Team USA curling has advanced 00:05:18.980 --> 00:05:21.860 to the mixed doubles gold medal game after a 00:05:21.860 --> 00:05:24.420 stunning upset over the defending champions. 00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.259 Corey Thies and Corey Drakken finished the round 00:05:28.259 --> 00:05:31.079 -robin session with a record of six wins and 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:34.399 three losses, making history as the first American 00:05:34.399 --> 00:05:37.639 mixed doubles team to reach the medal round since 00:05:37.639 --> 00:05:40.079 the discipline was introduced in the Winter Olympics 00:05:40.079 --> 00:05:44.870 in 2018. In the semifinal, they face Stiffania 00:05:44.870 --> 00:05:48.250 Constantini and Amos Mosaner from Team Italy, 00:05:48.670 --> 00:05:52.829 the 2022 gold medalist. After a nail -biting 00:05:52.829 --> 00:05:56.769 match, Team USA won 9 -8, thanks to a clutch 00:05:56.769 --> 00:05:59.949 final shot from Thiesse. They will now compete 00:05:59.949 --> 00:06:02.670 against Sweden for the gold medal on Tuesday. 00:06:04.470 --> 00:06:09.189 In local sports, Chula Vista native Jason Myers. 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.420 had a standout performance in Super Bowl 60, 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.339 kicking a record five field goals and scoring 00:06:15.339 --> 00:06:19.000 a total of 17 points. Also a Super Bowl record 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:22.319 for a kicker, as the Seahawks defeated the Pats 00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:27.399 29 -13. Myers, who graduated from Materday Catholic 00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.279 High School, has become a local legend, with 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:33.860 his jerseys displayed at the school. John Carney, 00:06:34.300 --> 00:06:36.519 former kicker for the Chargers, praised Myers' 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:39.180 achievement. stating it ranks among the best 00:06:39.180 --> 00:06:43.160 playoff performances ever by a kicker. Additionally, 00:06:43.420 --> 00:06:46.160 Myers set the NFL record for total points in 00:06:46.160 --> 00:06:50.319 a single season, scoring 206 points this year. 00:06:52.620 --> 00:06:56.420 In top news, protein shakes are widely available 00:06:56.420 --> 00:06:59.600 and often marketed as convenient meal alternatives, 00:06:59.959 --> 00:07:02.019 which may leave you wondering whether you can 00:07:02.019 --> 00:07:06.069 have protein shakes instead of meals. Replacing 00:07:06.069 --> 00:07:08.610 meals with protein shakes can affect your body 00:07:08.610 --> 00:07:11.550 in different ways, depending on the shake's nutrient 00:07:11.550 --> 00:07:15.149 content. Most commercial protein shakes provide 00:07:15.149 --> 00:07:19.230 20 to 30 grams of protein per serving. Protein 00:07:19.230 --> 00:07:22.129 shakes provide a quick, easy way to consume protein, 00:07:22.529 --> 00:07:25.069 making it easier to increase overall protein 00:07:25.069 --> 00:07:28.449 intake. When a protein shake replaces a meal, 00:07:28.970 --> 00:07:32.129 consider which nutrients may be missing. In most 00:07:32.129 --> 00:07:35.170 cases, protein shakes work best as a supplement 00:07:35.170 --> 00:07:38.110 rather than a routine replacement for whole meals. 00:07:39.709 --> 00:07:43.769 In business news, Elon Musk says that SpaceX 00:07:43.769 --> 00:07:46.949 will prioritize the establishment of a self -growing 00:07:46.949 --> 00:07:49.970 city on the moon instead of a colony on Mars. 00:07:50.850 --> 00:07:54.329 This decision marks a significant shift in Musk's 00:07:54.329 --> 00:07:57.470 space exploration ambitions. In a post on his 00:07:57.470 --> 00:08:00.839 social media platform X, Musk stated that a lunar 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:04.300 city could be built within the next decade. He 00:08:04.300 --> 00:08:06.740 emphasized that the mission of SpaceX remains 00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:09.939 the same, to extend consciousness and life as 00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:13.600 we know it to the stars. Musk indicated that 00:08:13.600 --> 00:08:16.399 SpaceX would resume a Mars efforts in the next 00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:19.160 five to seven years, but building on the moon 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:22.600 would be more efficient. In crypto movement, 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:29.220 Bitcoin is down 9 % to about $70 ,000. Ethereum 00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:35.000 is down 8 % to just over 2 ,000. And XRP is down 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:42.440 10 % to $1 .45. Moving on to a more local vibe. 00:08:43.539 --> 00:08:46.379 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, 00:08:47.000 --> 00:08:49.399 we are working with a national Pilates studio 00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:52.860 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:56.789 Check out Club Pilates.

Just be sure to tell them 00:09:24.570 --> 00:09:28.710 Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the 00:09:28.710 --> 00:09:34.070 show. Let's talk science. Ripples in spacetime 00:09:34.070 --> 00:09:36.470 from a pair of merging black holes have been 00:09:36.470 --> 00:09:40.429 recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists 00:09:40.429 --> 00:09:44.149 to test predictions of general relativity. The 00:09:44.149 --> 00:09:46.929 loudest collision ever recorded has allowed scientists 00:09:46.929 --> 00:09:49.929 to confirm that Einstein's theory is correct. 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:54.600 In 2025, an international collaboration detected 00:09:54.600 --> 00:09:58.620 a powerful ripple, produced by this merger. The 00:09:58.620 --> 00:10:01.100 detectors are more sensitive than when LIGO made 00:10:01.100 --> 00:10:06.039 its first detection in 2016. Researchers tested 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:08.899 Stephen Hawking's theorem and found it to be 00:10:08.899 --> 00:10:13.580 correct with nearly 100 % confidence. Kief Mittman 00:10:13.580 --> 00:10:16.059 and colleagues further tested whether the merger 00:10:16.059 --> 00:10:18.620 conforms with Einstein's general relativity. 00:10:19.210 --> 00:10:21.970 They found that the measured frequencies matched 00:10:21.970 --> 00:10:28.350 closely with Einstein's predictions. Entertainment 00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:32.809 news. YouTube TV is introducing lower -priced 00:10:32.809 --> 00:10:36.250 sports and news packages.
