Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Tuesday, April 9th.
Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then
we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science
and entertainment.
At first, you'll be interested to know, 59 years ago, today in 1965.
The Astrodome hosted its first baseball game and revolutionized stadiums as the world's
first owned and air-conditioned indoor venue.
Home to the Houston Astros and Houston Oilers, it featured groundbreaking elements like AstroTurf.
Despite its historical significance, its future is uncertain since it was last used in 2009.
So now you know.
And now you know what time it is.
It's time for the surf report.
Expect fight-a-waist-high surf, increasing to stomach-to-chest at focal points.

In local news, the city of Carlsbad is advancing a project to realign a one-mile segment of
Highway 101, also known as Carlsbad Boulevard, to address rising sea levels and flooding
concerns.
The city's Beach Preservation Commission unanimously endorsed the Retreat Now Plan
over a gradual 96-year phased approach.
This decision follows instances of flooding and erosion, notably near Las Encinas Creek,
which have frequently made the roadway impassable.
In response to these challenges, and as part of obtaining temporary permits for emergency
work, the state mandated Carlsbad to seek a lasting solution.
The proposed realignment includes a new roadway layout with biking and walking paths, roundabouts,
and habitat restoration areas.
The Carlsbad City Council will review the plan on April 23, aiming for a 2028 project
commencement.
Funding and cost details are pending, with prior studies supported by the California
Coastal Conservancy.
Now on to sports.
Jarrett Cole, the New York Yankees ace, expressed his frustration with the recent discourse
on the increase in pitcher injuries, particularly those related to the elbow.
Returning from nerve inflammation in his elbow, Cole is disheartened by the lack of cooperation
between Major League Baseball and the Players Association in addressing this surge.
He criticized the quick dismissal of concerns regarding the pitch clock's impact on injuries.
And he's suggesting a more comprehensive examination of various factors affecting pitcher
health, including changes in game rules, training protocols, and the push for more velocity
and spin without the help of sticky foreign substances.
Cole calls for a unified effort to prioritize and safeguard player health amidst a significant
uptick in arm injuries across the league.
Last night in local sports.
In a barn burner, the Padres at home beat the Cubs 9-8.
Tonight.
The Padres are at home in game two to take on the Cubs.
Also tonight in the NBA, the Lakers are at home to play the Warriors.
And the Clippers are on the road in Phoenix to take on the Suns.
In national hockey, the Kings are on the road in Anaheim to skate with the Ducks.
In top news.
Hang on to your hats, folks, because we're treading into some uncharted territory for
the podcast.
We've got some social media gossip for you, so pay close attention.
Recently, a scandal erupted on TikTok when young mother Ashley McGuire sought help to
find her missing husband, Chef Charles Withers, via Facebook post.
McGuire, pregnant at the time, revealed Withers had vanished, leaving his family behind.
Her aim was to find him for divorce proceedings.
This sparked a global TikTok investigation, with users delving into Withers' whereabouts,
generating significant attention.
Withers, last employed at the now-closed Sea Salt Bar and Grill in Fomouth, Massachusetts,
has not been in contact with his family for over a year.
The search on TikTok extended from Rhode Island to Texas, with varied leads and potential
sightings shared by users.
This story has all the makings for a continuing drama to unfold in the coming weeks, I'm
sure.
Don't worry, we'll keep you in the know.
In Business News
The U.S. Commerce Department just announced a $6.6 billion subsidy for Taiwan semiconductor
manufacturing in Arizona aimed at bolstering advanced semiconductor production.
The company, T-Hesensee, plans to expand its investment in Arizona to $65 billion, including
the addition of a third manufacturing location by 2030.
This move is part of a broader strategy to enhance the U.S. semiconductor industry, supported
by the Chips in Science Act, which allocates significant funds for research and manufacturing
subsidies.
T-Hesensee's expansion will focus on producing two nanometer tech chips, crucial for artificial
intelligence and national security technologies.
The initiative is expected to create thousands of jobs and significantly increase U.S. capacity
for leading-edge chip manufacturing, reinforcing the country's competitive edge in the global
digital economy.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Living in your 40s, making healthy lifestyle choices becomes crucial to combating dementia
and cognitive decline later in life.
Researchers emphasize the importance of regular exercise, adequate sleep, and engaging in
activities that stimulate your brain.
These steps not only maintain cognitive function, but also support heart health, which is closely
linked to brain health.
Things like diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity, if managed properly, can further
reduce the risk of dementia.
Social and mental engagement, alongside a nutritious diet and physical activity, are
key components for sustaining brain health as you age.
And in entertainment news.
Well ladies and gentlemen, we have a new bingeable show on Netflix, and I can personally confirm
it's a good one.
The Gentleman, Guy Ritchie's latest hit series, has taken Netflix by storm, amassing 44 million
views in just a few weeks.
Netflix is already in discussions for a second season, eager to reunite the star-studded
cast, including Theo James from White Lotus, Kaya Scodelario, and Ray Winstone.
Although there are challenges, such as scheduling conflicts and securing Ritchie for the sequel,
the platform is optimistic, given the show's success.
This series, a fresh take on Ritchie's 2019 film, delves into the British underworld with
a new cast, and has quickly become one of Netflix's biggest hits of the year.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the great filmmaker Guy Ritchie.
If you don't own something, you're not the boss.
You have to take full responsibility for everything that you do.
Why be subservient?
You must be the master of your own kingdom.
You have to take possession of your life.
There's a world out there trying to tell you who you are, and there's a world in here that's
trying to tell you who you are.
Now where do you want to put your eggs?
Because the world outside is very noisy and very tempting, and as all the razzmatazz,
as all the tinsel and all the glitter, it's got all the toys.
But that's because you don't think you're enough in the first place.
So the world will try and tell you who you are, and you have to tell yourself who you
are.
And there's this ongoing battle, and somehow there needs to be a reconciliation between
the two.
But in the end, you've got to have all the eggs in your basket.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
