Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host Melissa and it's Friday, July 12th.
You'll be interested to know.
Forty-five years ago, today, in 1979, Disco Demolition Night was a major league baseball
promotion at Comiskey Park in Chicago that ended in a riot.
At the climax of the event, a crate filled with disco records was blown up on the field
between games of the doubleheader between the Chicago White Sox and the Detroit Tigers.
Many attendees rushed onto the field after the explosion.
The playing field was so damaged that the White Sox had to forfeit the second game to
the Tigers.
This night remains one of the most infamous promotions in baseball history.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect to need a thigh-high southwest swell through Sunday with occasional stomach high
sets in the afternoon.

semi-choppy as wind increased to 10 to 15 miles per hour.
Monday sees a build to shoulder high sets with similar wind conditions.
Friday in Encinitas and North County, it's looking clean to choppy throughout the day
at 2 feet.
The chop rolls in around 10 a.m., so expect rougher conditions until sunset.

In local news, the California Independent System operator has advised Californians to
prepare for power conservation amid forecasts of extreme heat this week.
While the grid remains stable, prolonged heat can strain generators and lead to outages.
Higher electricity demand is expected on Wednesday and Thursday, with Thursday being the hottest
day of the week.
The ISO cautions that worsening conditions may trigger emergency notifications to mobilize
additional resources.
A flex alert may also be issued urging consumers to reduce electricity consumption between
4 p.m. and 9 p.m. on certain days.
Stay informed to help prevent potential energy shortages.
Now on to sports.
Former New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick is diving into the NFL media landscape for
the 2024 season.
The eight-time Super Bowl-winning coach will join the long-running series Inside the NFL.
Belichick will join former NFL players Ryan Clark, Chad Johnson, and Chris Long for the
show's weekly panel.
Belichick expressed his excitement, stating,
I'm thrilled to join my new team at NFL Films and work on such a historic television franchise.
The show now in its 48th season airs its first episode on Friday, August 30th.
In local sports.
Tonight.
The Padres are at home to take on the Braves in game one of a three-game series.
In top news.
Vlad Arteminov, a former Wall Street professional with Ivy League credentials, allegedly orchestrated
a Ponzi scheme targeting Harvard Business School alumni.
He pitched a strategy claiming to obtain insider stock tips legally, promising returns up to
1,000 percent.
Many invested, including one friend who put in $120,000.
Doubts emerged when updates ceased, leading to an investigation.
By February, New York's attorney general revealed the scheme, freezing Arteminov's
accounts.
31 victims reportedly lost over $3 million.
Despite the civil case, Arteminov has not been criminally charged and remains elusive.
In business news.
Tesla recently announced a delay in the unveiling of its highly anticipated rogo taxi vehicle,
pushing the date from August 8th to October.
This news caused Tesla shares to drop by 8.4 percent to $241, marking the company's first
decline after 11 straight gains.
The delay stems from the need for additional prototypes and reworking certain elements
of the car.
Elon Musk's stake in Tesla fell by nearly $16 billion, a significant hit to his wealth.
Despite the setback, analysts remain optimistic about Tesla's long-term prospects in autonomous
technology.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $56,900.
Ethereum is just under $3,100.
And Solana is $136.

Elon Musk, CEO of Neuralink, announced that the company would soon test its brain implant
on a second patient within the next week or so.
The first patient experienced stable results after initial complications with the wires
attaching his brain to the implant.
Musk revealed new measures, including skull sculpting, to mitigate risks.
The implant aims to help paralyzed patients use digital devices by thinking alone.
A video showed the first patient, Nola Darbaugh, using the implant to play chess and control
a mouse.
Musk also mentioned a new product, Blindsight, to help the blind see.
And in entertainment news.
In a new legal battle, the Beastie Boys have filed a lawsuit against Brinker International,
the parent company of Chili's, for allegedly using their 1994 hit Sabotage in advertisements
without permission.
The band is seeking at least $150,000 in damages.
The suit filed in New York federal court claims Brinker used the song and elements, resembling
the iconic music video in social media ads, starting around November 2022.
The Beastie Boys have a history of protecting their music, previously winning a $1.7 million
verdict against Monster Energy Drink in 2014.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from one of the greatest football coaches of all time, Bill
Belichick.
And he said,
It's not all about talent.
It's about dependability, consistency, and being able to improve.
If you work hard, and you're coachable, and you understand what you need to do, you can
improve.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
