news, California's coastal ocean is experiencing
a rare trend. And what happens next could be
critical. On the last day of winter, the ocean
off Southern California reached a remarkable
sea surface temperature of 71 degrees at Scripps
Pier in La Jolla, marking the warmest March reading
in history. This temperature spike is not an
isolated incident, as it broke daily records
for several consecutive days. Hart Miller, a
researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography,
notes that a strong marine heat wave is developing.
and the upcoming weeks will determine its ecological
impact. The same atmospheric patterns fueling
the heat wave on land are contributing to this
unusual warmth. Now on to sports. In a weekend
steeped in history, the Huskies marched from
19 points down to create an NCAA tournament masterpiece.
UConn defeated Duke 73 -72 in a game that defied
belief from start to finish. Huskies coach Dan
Hurley praised the team's fortitude, saying,
we fought, we clawed, and put ourselves in position
to take advantage of a mistake. Freshman guard
Braylon Mullins made a legendary shot that did
not even graze the rim, sealing the comeback
with just .4 seconds left. Yukon's victory not
only advanced them to the Final Four, but also
marked a significant achievement in college basketball
history. In local sports, the Friars shut out
the Tigers, securing their first win of the season
with a 3 -0 scoreline on Saturday. Mason Miller's
entrance song, lined by Korn, energized the crowd
as he struck out two hitters to seal the victory.
Starting pitcher Randy Vasquez was impressive,
showcasing his increased velocity, striking out
eight and allowing just two hits in six SGBHD
out innings. The Padres managed just enough offensive
support on a night when the ball wasn't carrying
in downtown San Diego. Tonight, they start a
three -game series against the Giants with Buehler
facing Roop. First pitch is at 640. In top news,
new research suggests the body may limit how
many calories you burn during a workout, helping
explain why weight loss is often smaller than
expected. The logic feels airtight. Move more,
burn more, weigh less. However, for many people,
the math never quite adds up. In controlled studies,
exercise often results in less weight loss than
calorie models predict. Even with aerobic activities
like walking, jogging, and cycling, most lose
an average of 3 .5 pounds over six months. This
modest return for significant effort has puzzled
researchers for a long time. Part of the answer
may be that working out can increase hunger,
making it easier to consume calories. Experts
are also investigating a more counterintuitive
phenomenon. An analysis suggested that people
only burned about a third of the extra calories
their workouts theoretically required. In other
words, a run that should have burned 500 calories
only added around 165 calories to the daily budget.
The body seems to compensate for increased physical
activity by reducing energy spent elsewhere.
In business news, why the cost of your coffee
has soared? is a pressing question for many consumers.
Fans of Reverie Roaster's Bone Shaker Espresso
Blend are experiencing sticker shock as coffee
prices continue to rise. For years, a 12 -ounce
bag cost $15, but as of last spring, it increased
to $17. Next month, Reverie's owner, Andrew Gove,
plans to raise the price again to $18. Factors
like tariffs, Crop failures and rising labor
costs are driving these increases. Despite recent
dips in commodity coffee prices, concerns about
the Iran war are pushing them up again. In crypto
movement, Bitcoin is down 5 .5 % over the weekend
to about $66 ,000. Ethereum is down 7 % to $2
,000. And XRP is down 8%. to $1 .33. Moving on
to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
tech. Your body is betraying your right to privacy.
Attachment to smart devices and biometric surveillance
leaves Americans more vulnerable to police searches
than ever. Unchecked, it will only get worse.
The adage know thyself resonates in the digital
age. Today, smart devices monitor your heartbeat,
blood pressure, exercise habits, and more. This
Internet of Bodies offers insights about your
quantified self. Millions of Americans wear smartwatches
reminding them to stand and breathe. These devices
track bodily activity, which can help police
if necessary. The data we produce is increasingly
valuable. And in entertainment news, the Apple
TV psychological thriller Imperfect Women. based
on araminta hall's novel of the same name is
a twisted sinister tale of friendship and the
facades people build to prevent others from looking
too closely utterly compelling the series places
a microscope on the lives of three long -time
friends forcing them to reflect on each other
and the deceptions simmering just below the surface
set in los angeles and its surroundings imperfect
women begins with a devastating event as eleanor
played by Kerry Washington, is summoned by the
police to identify the body of her best friend,
Nancy, portrayed by Kate Mara. Well, all righty,
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American author
and philosopher, Henry David Thoreau. And he
said, What lies behind us and what lies ahead
of us are tiny matters compared to what lives
within us. And that's a wrap for this morning.
