1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,100 But first, you'll be interested to know, 18 years ago, today, in 2006, Twitter co-founder 2 00:00:10,100 --> 00:00:14,040 Jack Dorsey sent the first public tweet, which read, 3 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,180 Just setting up my Twitter. 4 00:00:17,180 --> 00:00:22,720 Twitter was also co-founded by Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams, evolving from 5 00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,760 the failed podcast company, Odeo. 6 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:34,200 Dorsey, inspired by dispatch software, conceptualized Twitter, launching it in 2006. 7 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:40,520 Glass contributed the name, Twitter and Stone, brought the creative direction. 8 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:46,560 Williams with a tech background also co-founded the website called Medium. 9 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:51,920 Their collaboration transformed Twitter into a global communication platform. 10 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:53,720 Wow. 11 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:59,640 Maybe someday 20 years from now, there'll be a similar story about a fledgling podcast 12 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,280 where the first words were, 13 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:07,520 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 14 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,400 I'm your host Melissa, and it's Thursday, March 21st. 15 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:17,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 16 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,280 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, tech and 17 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,280 entertainment. 18 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:25,280 But first, 19 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:29,520 Oh, I got you there. 20 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,920 And now you know what time it is. 21 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,520 It's time for the surf report. 22 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,640 Despite a slower pace in the medium term, forecasts suggest a more active pattern towards 23 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,680 the end of March in the southeast Pacific. 24 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Potential development of storms in both the eastern and western parts of the basin next 25 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,800 week could impact local surf conditions. 26 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,960 Keep an eye out for updates as these systems evolve. 27 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:05,160 Thursday in Encinitas and North Camie, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 4 feet until 28 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:11,480 10 a.m., then it's fair until 2, with some rough stuff after that from high wind at a 29 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,720 low tide. 30 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:20,560 Best time to ride is 0 dark 30 with a 4.5 foot incoming tide when a southwest swell 31 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,580 is 2 feet at 17 seconds and no wind. 32 00:02:25,580 --> 00:02:31,720 The first high tide Thursday will be about 5 feet just before 8 a.m. with a minus half 33 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,800 foot low tide at 240. 34 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:42,000 The

59 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,600 2024 season to approximately $157 million. 60 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,480 A sharp decline of nearly $92 million from the previous year. 61 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,720 This adjustment follows the departure of several key players and a strategic shift towards 62 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:59,040 integrating homegrown talent, keeping the team below the $237 million luxury tax threshold. 63 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,920 Despite this, the Padres have managed to maintain a competitive roster with Zander Bogart's, 64 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:10,800 Joe Musgrove and Hugh Darvish as their top earners showcasing a blend of strategic financial 65 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:17,680 planning and talent management aimed at sustaining the team's competitiveness in a more economical 66 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:24,680 manner. 67 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,280 Now on to sports. 68 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:32,640 During the NCAA tournament, certain players have the potential to significantly boost 69 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,680 their NBA draft stock. 70 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,920 Cale Blugg's exceptional season in Arizona could propel him into the draft's early rounds 71 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:45,720 if he showcases his shot-creating skills and leadership. 72 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:51,600 Cam Spencer's defensive prowess and all-around game at Yukon might make him a surprise draft 73 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,600 riser. 74 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:58,600 Kentucky's Justin Edwards, with his late-season surge, could climb draft boards with his wing 75 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,720 versatility. 76 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:06,480 Jamal Shedd's playmaking and leadership for Houston emphasizes his potential to spite 77 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:08,360 his size. 78 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:15,040 Harrison Ingram at North Carolina has thrived, showing versatility and improved passing. 79 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,840 Oso Aigadaro from Marquette could see his stock rise with his face-up game and agility 80 00:06:20,840 --> 00:06:23,100 for a big. 81 00:06:23,100 --> 00:06:28,600 And finally, Auburn's Johnny Broom, with his energy and versatile play, could be pivotal 82 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:33,200 for his team and his draft prospects. 83 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:39,640 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home lost their opener in South Korea to the 84 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:48,240 Dodgers 5-2, and the Clippers on the road lost to the Trail Blazers 1-0 3-1 16. 85 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:55,720 Also, the Kings at home beat the Wilds 6-0. 86 00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:03,640 In top news, Micron Technology experienced an 18% surge in stock price following impressive 87 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:10,360 fiscal second-quarter earnings and optimistic guidance fueled by AI-driven demand. 88 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:16,360 The company exceeded expectations with earnings of 42 cents per share and revenue of about 89 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,880 $6 billion. 90 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:26,320 CEO Sanjay Marotra anticipates further price increases in memory and storage markets, projecting 91 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:35,040 significant revenue and profitability growth in fiscal 2025, with shares reaching $114 92 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,960 in after-hours trading and a notable 12-month increase of over 60%. 93 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:46,880 Investors are encouraged to watch for potential future support around the $98 level, a previous 94 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,720 resistance point. 95 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:56,320 In business news, for those aiming to bolster their investment portfolio with dividend income, 96 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:04,720 high-yielding S&P 500 dividend stocks offer a compelling blend of risk and return. 97 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:09,960 These stocks come from companies across various sectors, reflecting the diverse nature of 98 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,160 the U.S. economy and its leading enterprises. 99 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:21,120 Among them, AT&T, Veitchee Properties, and KeyCorp stand out for their substantial dividend 100 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:27,600 yields, backed by robust business models and strategic market positions. 101 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:33,000 Real estate investment trusts, like Veitchee Properties, benefit from regulatory requirements 102 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,680 to pay high dividends, enhancing their appeal to income-focused investors. 103 00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:46,840 However, it's crucial to recognize that dividends from trusts are taxed as ordinary income. 104 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,600 Bummer. 105 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:55,080 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $68,000. 106 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,480 Ethereum is at $3,500.

00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,520 And now back to the show. 119 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,920 Let's talk science. 120 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:04,200 Researchers claim to have discovered a massive volcano on Mars, taller than Mount Everest 121 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:08,400 and stretching over 280 miles. 122 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,960 This finding, presented at the Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Texas, suggests the 123 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:20,520 volcano could be ancient, potentially revealing insights into Mars' volcanic past, and even 124 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,600 hints of microbial life. 125 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:30,080 Named Noctus, after the region, Noctis Lagirinthus, where it's found, the discovery stems from 126 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:35,320 the observation of what appears to be eroded volcanic features, challenging the notion 127 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,280 that we've identified all major volcanic structures on Mars. 128 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,520 While the claim has sparked intrigue, it also faces skepticism due to the heavily eroded 129 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:50,000 terrain, making definitive identification challenging. 130 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:55,840 Further study is necessary to confirm whether this structure is indeed a colossal Martian 131 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,800 volcano. 132 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,400 And in entertainment news. 133 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:09,200 In Sleeping Dogs, Russell Crowe plays Roy Freeman, a former detective grappling with dementia, 134 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,700 and we've got some strong opinions bubbling up. 135 00:11:12,700 --> 00:11:18,280 The film attempts to weave a complex neo-noir mystery around Roy's deteriorating mental 136 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:24,400 state, but ultimately falls into a sluggish pace and convoluted narrative that leaves 137 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,880 viewers disengaged. 138 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Despite the talent involved, including Karen Gillan and Harry Greenwood, the film's execution 139 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:38,440 fails to captivate, with its most intriguing plot twists feeling underwhelming. 140 00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:44,520 Crowe's performance stands out, yet the movie's lack of momentum and overuse of visual tricks 141 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:51,280 to convey Roy's confusion do more to hinder rather than enhance the storytelling. 142 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:57,360 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 143 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,960 And today I have a quick story to tell. 144 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:07,200 Sir Dave Frailsford revolutionized British cycling with a marginal gains theory focusing 145 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:13,320 on enhancing every aspect of cycling by just 1%. 146 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:20,160 This strategy led to dominating performances in the Olympics and Tour de France victories. 147 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:26,280 The approach emphasized continuous improvement and paying attention to small details, which 148 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:30,520 cumulatively resulted in significant performance enhancements. 149 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,360 So do you think you can do it? 150 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:36,840 Just improve 1% once a week or once a month? 151 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,240 I bet you can. 152 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:57,640 So have a great day everyone, and see if you can nab your 1% improvement.
