00:00:41,080 Now, let's check out the weather in the Encinitas area. 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:48,640 This morning it's mostly cloudy and 52 degrees, with just about no wind and 76% humidity. 12 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:56,000 Tonight the sun will set at 520 p.m. and it will rise again tomorrow at 643 a.m. 13 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,840 It looks like we're in for a day of partly sun with a high near 62 and wind 5 to 10 mile 14 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,720 per hour in the afternoon. 15 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:08,840 Tonight, rain, mainly after 4 a.m. with a low around 55. 16 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:14,960 The rain could be heavy at times, with south wind 10 to 15 mile per hour and gusts as high 17 00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:16,320 as 20. 18 00:01:16,320 --> 00:01:19,400 Chance of precipitation is 80%. 19 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,960 New rain amounts of less than a tenth of an inch. 20 00:01:22,960 --> 00:01:30,280 In the Surf Report, Wednesday brings a steady west-northwest swell, waist to shoulder high, 21 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,760 increasing to chest to head high, with light wind turning south. 22 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:39,960 Watch for changing conditions later in the week with a strong west-northwest swell and 23 00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,480 onshore wind. 24 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,160 Looks like it's going to be a disaster out there. 25 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,360 Time to hunker down and do some yoga, kids. 26 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,200 Namaste. 27 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,680 In Encinitas and North County, it's looking 3 to 4 feet and clean in the morning, turning 28 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,040 unrideable in the afternoon. 29 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:03,720 Get out there before 9 a.m. and make sure you get some nugs before the storm rolls in. 30 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:10,000 The first low tide Wednesday will be 2 feet around 6.15 a.m. with a 3-foot high tide just 31 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760 before noon. 32 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:21,400 The nearshore buoy at Scripps in La Jolla reads 61.5 degrees for the water temperature. 33 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,440 Looking ahead in the weather. 34 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:29,000 We'll see rainy and windy conditions Thursday with heavy rainfall possible, highs near 59 35 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,600 degrees, and gusty wind. 36 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:37,000 Showers continue into Friday with partly sunny skies and highs around 58. 37 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,800 The weekend will be mostly sunny with slight shower chances, highs near 57, and mostly 38 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,400 cloudy nights. 39 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:51,040 Sunday might bring more showers and a high near 58, turning to heavy rain at night. 40 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,640 Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 41 00:02:54,640 --> 00:03:00,240 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas. 42 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:06,740 Nestled on El Camino Real South, just north

00:03:39,440 Well folks, it's almost the end of dry January and sometimes it extends beyond just one month, 51 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,120 influencing a reevaluation of alcohol use. 52 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,920 A reduction in alcohol consumption, even slightly, has immediate and long-lasting health benefits. 53 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:55,520 According to scientists from the University of New Mexico, alcohol impacts almost every 54 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,760 organ system. 55 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Reducing alcohol can lead to improved sleep, mood, mental clarity, and energy. 56 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,440 Alcohol, while a sedative, disrupts sleep patterns and can lead to weightfulness in the latter 57 00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:10,240 part of the night. 58 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:15,480 Over time, less alcohol intake can improve overall health, potentially aiding in weight 59 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,040 loss as alcohol is high in calories but low in nutrients. 60 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:26,040 It also suppresses the immune system, so reducing intake could boost immune responses. 61 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:32,480 Additionally, alcohol is a known carcinogen breaking down into acetaldehyde, which damages 62 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,680 DNA and increases cancer risk. 63 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,440 Now, let's talk science. 64 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,240 Archaeologists recently made a groundbreaking discovery in central Europe, uncovering a 65 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,540 Bronze Age civilization previously unknown. 66 00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:53,960 This complex network of over 100 sites, connected by a vast societal landscape, was revealed 67 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,320 through satellite imagery. 68 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:00,980 These findings, including some of the largest structures of that era, have significantly 69 00:05:00,980 --> 00:05:04,360 altered our understanding of Bronze Age societies. 70 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:10,320 Notably, this civilization, centered around the Carpathian Basin and the Tissa River, 71 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,680 featured large megaforts enclosed by extensive ditches. 72 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:21,920 Ground surveys and excavations suggest these sites thrived between 1600 and 1450 BC, before 73 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,640 being abandoned around 1200. 74 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:30,880 This discovery challenges existing theories about European prehistory, suggesting a cohesive, 75 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,800 advanced society rather than competing chiefdoms. 76 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,840 It also sheds light on the region's role in the broader European context during a pivotal 77 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,960 historical period. 78 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:50,560 In business news, Alphabet and Microsoft exceeded earnings expectations, yet their stocks fell 79 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,280 in extended trading. 80 00:05:53,280 --> 00:06:02,080 Alphabet's revenue grew 13% to $86 billion, while Microsoft's increased 18% to $62 billion. 81 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:08,400 Despite surpassing cloud business forecasts, Alphabet's ad revenue slightly missed targets. 82 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,520 Investors' high expectations, fueled by the company's strong AI developments and cost 83 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,960 cutting, including job cuts, led to disappointment. 84 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,720 Investors note unrealistic market expectations for advertising growth. 85 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,800 Looking ahead, Microsoft forecasts a modest next quarter, with the market now focusing 86 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:32,640 on upcoming reports from Amazon, Apple, and Meta. 87 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:37,000 In crypto, Bitcoin is around $4,300. 88 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,680 Ethereum is at $2,300. 89 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:48,840 And Solana is $100. 90 00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:50,800 Now on to sports. 91 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,920 Jim Harbaugh has been signed by the Los Angeles Chargers as their head coach on a five-year, 92 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,680 $80 million contract. 93 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:04,720 This fall is the Chargers' underwhelming 5-in-12 season and the dismissal of Brandon 94 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:05,720 Staley. 95 00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:10,960 Harbaugh, with a notable coaching record, including a national championship at Michigan, 96 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:15,360 is expected to bring stability and experience to the team. 97 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,460 His arrival is particularly significant for quarterback Justin Herbert, as the Chargers 98 00:07:20,460 --> 00:07:24,500 aim to strengthen their presence in the Los Angeles market. 99 00:07:24,500 --> 00:07:31,100 In the NBA, the Lakers on the road, lost to the Hawks, 138 to 122. 100 00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:35,080 And tonight, the Clippers are on the road to take on the Wizards. 101 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,320 Tomorrow night, the Lakers are on the road to play the Celtics. 102 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,840 And in national hockey tonight, the Kings are on the road to play the Predators, and 103 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,960 the Ducks are at home to take on the Sharks. 104 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,640 Moving on to a more local vibe. 105 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:58,580 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 106 00:07:58,580 --> 00:08:02,760 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 107 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,840 Check out Club Pilates, with several locations

mental well-being. 110 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,760 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 111 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:27,040 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations

--> 00:08:40,600 And now, back to the show. 115 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,680 In local news. 116 00:08:42,680 --> 00:08:48,600 San Diego has reinstated its downtown train, Quiet Zone, after temporarily suspending it 117 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,920 due to safety violations. 118 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,800 The city's transportation department quickly addressed these issues, installing over 120 119 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,840 new railroad signs and road markings at key intersections. 120 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:05,800 Consequently, trains will no longer need to sound their horns in this area, adhering to 121 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:12,400 the $21 million Quiet Zone safety system established in 2010. 122 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,720 While most transit agencies have complied with the reinstatement, the Freight Railway 123 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,700 is yet to implement the Quiet Zone. 124 00:09:19,700 --> 00:09:26,680 This development aims to balance safety with noise reduction in the downtown area. 125 00:09:26,680 --> 00:09:28,360 And in entertainment news. 126 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:34,880 By Richie's latest film, the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare presents a unique twist 127 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,680 on World War II storytelling. 128 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:42,920 Set against the war's backdrop, it follows Sergeant Gus March Phillips, played by Henry 129 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:48,180 Cavill, who is recruited into Britain's Special Operations Executive. 130 00:09:48,180 --> 00:09:53,800 The Special Operations Executive focuses on irregular warfare, and March Phillips, known 131 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,520 for his rule-breaking approach, is chosen to lead a risky mission. 132 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,380 The movie's trailer reveals his assembled team of unconventional fighters, played by 133 00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:11,320 Isa Gonzalez, Babs Olusemukun, Alan Ripson, Henry Golding, and Alex Pettyfer. 134 00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:16,640 These characters bring a blend of madness and skill to their task of creatively combating 135 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:17,880 Nazis. 136 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:22,520 The film, with its action-packed and whimsical approach, is set to be released in theaters 137 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:27,240 on April 19, promising a fresh take on the genre. 138 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:32,480 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 139 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,880 And today, our quote comes from British writer Vivian Green. 140 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:38,440 Vivian said, 141 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:42,840 Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. 142 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,840 It's about learning to dance in the rain. 143 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,840 So go get your ponchos and your dancing shoes. 144 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,760 Cause it's gonna be a wet one, y'all. 145 00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,640 And that's a wrap for this morning. 146 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,840 Remember to stay tuned tomorrow for more news and updates. 147 00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:19,200 Have an amazing day, my good friends.
