1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,960 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. 2 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,600 I'm your host Melissa and it's Thursday, April 11th. 3 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:16,440 Coming up on today's show, we'll get into the surf report and the weather outlook, then 4 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,680 we'll jump into some local news and a few interesting happenings in business, science 5 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:23,880 and entertainment. 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:30,680 At first, you'll be interested to know, 54 years ago, today in 1970. 7 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:36,480 Apollo 13 launched from Cape Kennedy, Florida and was a NASA mission that faced a crisis 8 00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:41,160 when an oxygen tank exploded en route to the moon. 9 00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:48,200 This incident jeopardized the lives of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert. 10 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,820 Initially aiming for a lunar landing, the mission's objectives were drastically altered 11 00:00:52,820 --> 00:00:55,440 following the explosion. 12 00:00:55,440 --> 00:01:00,440 The crew had to use the lunar module as a lifeboat for a safe return to Earth, foregoing 13 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,680 their moon landing. 14 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:07,860 This event turned a routine spaceflight into a dramatic survival mission, showcasing the 15 00:01:07,860 --> 00:01:13,520 ingenuity and resilience of both the astronauts and the ground team. 16 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,400 So now you know. 17 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:18,240 And now you know what time it is. 18 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,520 It's time for the surf report. 19 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,680 Expect an increase in both north-northwest and south-southwest swells towards the end 20 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,720 of this week. 21 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,400 Areas in North County San Diego will see need a waist-high surf, with standout spots nearing 22 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:37,400 chest-high. 23 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:44,060 Light and variable offshore wind are expected early mornings, with westerly onshore flow 24 00:01:44,060 --> 00:01:49,940 starting to pick up, then reaching moderate levels for the back half of the day. 25 00:01:49,940 --> 00:01:55,120 Expect a potential uptick in north-northwest swell by the weekend, with a south-southwest 26 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:01,520 swell bringing waves to stomach-high waves and chest-high waves at summer standouts in 27 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,520 South County San Diego. 28 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,680 Thursday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking good and clean at 2 to 3 feet until 29 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,280 10, then fair until noon. 30 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:20,560 After that, it's looking a little choppy, but might clear up a bit for a sunset session. 31 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:27,520 Best time to ride is at 8 a.m. with a half-foot incoming tide, when the west-northwest swell 32 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:33,480 is 2 feet at 15 seconds and the onshore wind is just about zero. 33 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:40,040 The first high tide Thursday will be 4 feet just after 12.30 p.m. with a 2-foot low tide 34 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,040 just before 5. 35 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:50,080 The near-shore buoy at Scripps and La Jolla reads 60 degrees for the water temperature. 36 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,880 Checking out the weather in the Encinitas area. 37 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,800 This morning it's partly cloudy and feels like 54 degrees with no wind. 38 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:06,440 The sunset will take place at 7.16 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.21. 39 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,360 It looks a grin for some patchy fog before 11 a.m. 40 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:17,880 Otherwise, mostly sunny with a high near 66 and wind of 5 to 10 mile per hour. 41 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:24,360 Tonight, mostly cloudy with a low around 55. 42 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:31,080 Looking ahead in the weather, Friday will be partly sunny with a high near 63 degrees 43 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,560 and south wind 5 to 15 mile per hour. 44 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:40,600 Saturday brings a chance of afternoon showers and a high near 61. 45 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,040 The chance of rain continues Saturday night. 46 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:49,400 Sunday and Monday will be mostly sunny with highs near 60 degrees. 47 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:52,280 Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 48 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:57,240 This podcast is brought to

00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:42,800 plan to protect the heritage Canary Island date palm at Moonlight Beach from the South 58 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,380 American palm weevil. 59 00:04:45,380 --> 00:04:51,800 This invasive beetle, first detected in 2011 in San Diego County, poses a significant threat 60 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:56,400 to palms, particularly the Canary Island variety. 61 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:01,360 The plan involves regular inspections, the removal of infested palms, and preventive 62 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,480 treatments including a controversial pesticide. 63 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:10,320 Despite the pesticides' risk to bees, an exception is being sought due to the city's 64 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:18,480 Bee City USA status and the already enhanced pollinator habitat and limited use of pesticides. 65 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,480 The move comes as the weevil's presence has necessitated the removal of numerous infected 66 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:29,600 palms across the city, highlighting the challenge of preserving local heritage and biodiversity 67 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:36,800 against invasive species. 68 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,160 Now on to sports. 69 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:45,440 Major League Baseball is facing an unprecedented pitcher injury crisis, with top pitchers like 70 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:51,360 Spencer Strider and Shane Bieber suffering from severe elbow issues. 71 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:57,120 These injuries are closely linked to the pursuit of higher velocity and complex pitches, like 72 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:58,120 the sweeper. 73 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:05,760 Keith Meister, a top-elbow surgeon and physician for the Texas Rangers, notes a surge in specific 74 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,880 tear patterns due to these pitching styles. 75 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:15,920 Strider, for example, is potentially facing his second elbow reconstruction in five years, 76 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:21,280 highlighting a dramatic shift from the past, when one surgery was expected to last a pitcher's 77 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,560 year. 78 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:28,360 The drive for more strikeouts and better performance is pushing pitchers to their physical limits, 79 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,360 leading to more frequent and severe injuries. 80 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:37,600 Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association are at odds over the causes, with 81 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,280 debates around the impact of new rules like the pitch clock. 82 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:47,920 But the underlying issue remains the relentless quest for greater pitch velocity and effectiveness 83 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,360 at the cost of long-term health. 84 00:06:52,360 --> 00:07:00,360 Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Cubs again 10-2. 85 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:06,240 And in the NBA, the Clippers on the road lost to the Suns 124-108. 86 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:13,320 Tonight, the Kings are at home to take on the flames. 87 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:18,800 And top news, the debate on how to load a dishwasher whose staring households across 88 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:24,560 the US, with even British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak weighing in. 89 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:31,080 Naina and Steven Edwards, a couple in New York, embody this domestic disagreement. 90 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:36,640 Naina prefers a more relaxed approach, while Steven meticulously plans the dish placement 91 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,480 for optimal cleanliness. 92 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,960 This household dilemma extends beyond personal preference, where social media talking heads 93 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:51,360 and experts alike are sparking discussions on the proper methods and efficiency. 94 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:58,120 A YouGov Omnibus survey found that 65% of Americans believe there's a right and wrong 95 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:04,440 way to load a dishwasher, highlighting the intensity of this seemingly trivial, yet universally 96 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,680 relatable household debate. 97 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,040 I mean, is it even a debate? 98 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:15,320 Obviously, you should spend the extra mental time to plan out your methodology and get 99 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:20,000 as many dishes packed safely with the optimal amount of cleanliness. 100 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,620 Duh. 101 00:08:22,620 --> 00:08:29,540 In business news, combating inflation is proving to be a challenging task, akin to the difficulty 102 00:08:29,540 --> 00:08:32,840 of losing those final few pounds. 103 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:38,920 Despite significant improvement from two years ago, when inflation peaked at 9%, it remains 104 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,640 stubbornly above 3% this year. 105 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:48,600 March saw a 3.5% increase in consumer prices from the previous year, signaling a slight 106 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:52,040 acceleration in inflation. 107 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,720 Essential expenses like rents, car insurance, and electricity are key contributors, affecting 108 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,560 people's daily financial burdens. 109 00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:06,560 Additionally, rising oil prices threaten to escalate gas prices further, complicating 110 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:09,400 efforts to reduce inflation. 111 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:15,600 The Federal Reserve aims to lower inflation to its 2% target before considering rate cuts, 112 00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:20,520 maintaining a cautious stance despite market hopes for easing. 113 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:26,200 This situation underscores the complex and persistent nature of inflation, posing a dilemma 114 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:32,520 for policymakers and impacting public sentiment towards the economy. 115 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:38,000 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is now just over $70,000. 116 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,520 Ethereum is at $3,500. 117 00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:47,080 And Solana is $173. 118 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,760 Moving on to a more local vibe. 119 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:56,700 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 120 00:09:56,700 --> 00:10:01,040 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 121

00:10:25,200 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class, with locations in Encinitas, 126 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:30,440 Solana Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 127 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,560 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 128 00:10:34,560 --> 00:10:38,280 And now back to the show. 129 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,280 Let's talk tech. 130 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,500 Starting today, internet service providers in the U.S. must display clear labels that 131 00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:52,040 provide consumers with essential information about prices, speeds, and data caps. 132 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,720 This FCC mandate aims to enhance transparency, especially at the point of sale, ensuring 133 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,440 that customers understand the terms of their internet service plans. 134 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:09,600 Large providers with over 100,000 subscribers must comply immediately, while smaller providers 135 00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,720 have until October 10, 2024. 136 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:20,080 The labels will detail monthly charges, one-time fees, speed and latency, data allowances, 137 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:24,640 and any additional costs for exceeding data caps. 138 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,960 This initiative, part of a broader effort to eliminate hidden fees and provide consumers 139 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:35,320 with straightforward pricing, has been met with resistance from some internet service 140 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:36,320 providers. 141 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:44,120 However, major companies like Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile are already in compliance, 142 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:49,480 showcasing the FCC's commitment to consumer rights and the importance of transparency 143 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,320 in broadband services. 144 00:11:52,320 --> 00:12:01,080 And in entertainment news, Kevin Costner expressed his willingness to return to Yellowstone for 145 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,680 the final season to conclude his character's story. 146 00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:11,280 Given the rumors of his departure and potential legal action against Paramount, Costner revealed 147 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:17,880 at CinemaCon that while he envisioned participating in seven seasons, his future on the show remains 148 00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:19,920 uncertain. 149 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:25,680 He mentioned a desire for input on his character's fate, which is not typically allowed by the 150 00:12:25,680 --> 00:12:29,320 co-creator Taylor Sheridan. 151 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:35,000 As production for the next part of season five is expected to start soon, time for negotiating 152 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,640 Costner's return is dwindling. 153 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:44,400 Meanwhile, Costner's film Horizon, American Saga, is set to premiere at Cannes, marking 154 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,040 his return to the festival after 20 years. 155 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:53,680 Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day. 156 00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:59,800 And today, our quote comes from the command module pilot of Apollo 13, Jack Swigert. 157 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:07,080 ...stir up your cryo tanks, in addition, I have a shaft and trunnion for a look at the 158 00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,080 comet Bennett if you need it. 159 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,080 Okay, standby. 160 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:13,080 Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here. 161 00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,080 This is Houston, say again please. 162 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,080 Houston, we've had a problem. 163 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,680 We've had a main B bus undervolt. 164 00:13:22,680 --> 00:13:23,680 Roger, main B undervolt. 165 00:13:23,680 --> 00:13:26,680 Okay, standby 13, we're looking at it. 166 00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:31,680 And we had a pretty large bang associated with the caution and warning there. 167 00:13:31,680 --> 00:13:39,920 And if I recall, main B was the one that had a ham spike on it once before. 168 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,480 And that's a wrap for this morning. 169 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:48,400 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos 170 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,960 with local news and the surf reports. 171 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,880 Have an amazing day, my good friends. 172 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:58,440 We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
