Lionel Sternberger, who at just 16 years old in 1926 6 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,480 invented the cheeseburger at his father's sandwich shop, The Right Spot in Pasadena, 7 00:00:30,480 -->

00:01:16,120 Wednesday in Encinitas and North County. 17 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,880 It's looking glassy until 11 at 2 feet. 18 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:26,000 After that, it will get a little choppy

in for some partly sunny weather today with a high around 68 and a 27 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720 light south wind. 28 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,640 Tonight. 29 00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:25,800 Expect

you. 45 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:38,880 In local news, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and the Del Mar Fairgrounds have reached a joint 46 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:43,440 resolution regarding a rail relocation project. 47 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:48,560 This agreement aims for a mutually agreed upon process to choose a new rail alignment, 48 00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:53,960 allowing the San Diego Association of Governments to relocate train tracks from the eroding 49 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:56,240 Del Mar Bluffs. 50 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:01,280 The agreement follows a notice of preparation from June, which proposed three routes that 51 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,560 face significant opposition. 52 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:09,880 Both Solana Beach and the Del Mar Fairgrounds were surprised by one option, alternative 53 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,800 A, due to its potential construction impacts, while residents of Del Mar opposed alternatives 54 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:24,080 B and C, which involved tunneling. 55 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,560 Now onto sports. 56 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:32,080 The Chicago White Sox are enduring a historically bad season, marking the worst performance 57 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,640 in baseball in a century. 58 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,520 Surprisingly, this misfortune has sparked joy among their competitors than the American 59 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,460 League Central Division. 60 00:04:42,460 --> 00:04:47,360 As the White Sox chase a piece of miserable history, the Cleveland Guardians are on track 61 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:52,680 to win the division, while the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins hold wild card 62 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,440 spots. 63 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,320 Even the Detroit Tigers are making a late push, showcasing a remarkable turnaround for 64 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:05,200 this division, traditionally viewed as a punchline at the expense of wealthy franchises like 65 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,440 the Boston Red Sox. 66 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080 And local sports. 67 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:17,080 Last night, the Padres lost a hard-fought battle to the Astros, 4-3, in 10 innings at 68 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,080 Petco Park. 69 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:25,120 Manny Machado's two-run homer in the sixth inning tied the game at three, but Kyle Tucker's 70 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:30,800 RBI single in the top of the tenth gave Houston the lead for good. 71 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,920 Michael King delivered another strong outing for San Diego, going seven innings with just 72 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,600 two earned runs, but the Padres couldn't capitalize on late-scoring opportunities, 73 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,600 leaving eight runners on base. 74 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:50,080 With the loss, San Diego remains three and a half games behind the Dodgers in the NL 75 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:55,440 West, and every win is becoming critical as they fight for a playoff spot. 76 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,280 This afternoon, the Padres have a 3-40 first pitch against the Astros, as Dylan Cease 77 00:06:01,280 --> 00:06:02,280 takes the mound. 78 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:11,480 In top news, a new nonprofit organization called the Decentralized AI Society has been 79 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:16,520 launched by industry leaders to combat the potential monopolization of the artificial 80 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,240 intelligence industry. 81 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:25,360 Michael Casey, the former chief content officer of CoinDesk, is serving as the chairman. 82 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:29,680 In an interview at a blockchain conference in Singapore, Casey stated, 83 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:35,480 The Decentralized AI Society is acknowledging the fact that centralized platforms in the 84 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,200 AI era have a massive head start. 85 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:45,360 They own all the data, they own all the compute, and I would say they own the regulators. 86 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:52,520 In business news, the stock prices of major entertainment companies like Disney, Paramount, 87 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:58,160 Sirius, and Warner Bros. Discovery have significantly declined this year. 88 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:03,760 In contrast, the Standard & Poor's 500 and the Dow Jones industrials are reaching new 89 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,320 highs. 90 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,320 These companies fall under the consumer discretionary category, meaning their products are often 91 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,560 the first to be skipped when budgets are tight. 92 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:21,800 Disney, for instance, has seen a drop from a peak price of $122 in late March to $92 93 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,700 today, marking a 24% decline over six months. 94 00:07:26,700 --> 00:07:31,240 The price also dipped to $84 in mid-August. 95 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:37,520 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $60,400. 96 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,140 Ethereum is just under $2,400. 97 00:07:41,140 --> 00:07:46,760 And Solana is $132. 98 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,140 Moving on to a more local vibe. 99 00:07:50,140 --> 00:07:56,080 In our community spotlight on health and wellness, we are working with a national Pilates studio 100 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:00,440 to bring you some free classes, so listen up. 101 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:05,720 Check out Club Pilates with several locations in the San Diego area. 102 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:11,480 Pilates presents a comprehensive wellness approach, cultivating strength, reducing tension, 103 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,400 and elevating mental well-being. 104 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,280 Scientific research affirms its benefits. 105 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:25,200 So now you can check out Club Pilates for a free class with locations in Encinitas, Solana 106 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,880 Beach, Oceanside, La Jolla, and more. 107 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,000 Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent you by. 108 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:37,680 And now back to the show. 109 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,240 Let's talk science. 110 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:46,080 Chickadees, those adorable bandit-masked visitors to backyard feeders, are beloved across North 111 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,920 America. 112 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:52,320 Their skills in spotting predators make them valuable to other birds, and their boldness 113 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:57,080 allows them to snatch seeds from people's hands. 114 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,200 Scientists have focused on the overlapping ranges of the black-capped chickadees and 115 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:09,520 Carolina chickadees, creating a surprising natural experiment in species boundaries. 116 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,520 Research shows that human activities, including climate change and habitat alteration, are 117 00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,600 reshaping these relationships. 118 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:22,880 This study of hybrids reveals significant insights into how species adapt and interact 119 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,880 in our changing environment. 120 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:30,320 Entertainment news. 121 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:35,540 Sean Diddy Combs has been denied bail and ordered to jail as he awaits his trial for 122 00:09:35,540 --> 00:09:41,760 serious charges, including sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage 123 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,200 in prostitution. 124 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,480 This decision comes following a three-count federal indictment that accuses Combs of exploiting 125 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,760 his extensive business empire to abuse, threaten, and traffic women, all while safeguarding 126 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,680 his reputation. 127 00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:02,840 Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York allege that Combs, along with his security 128 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:09,420 and household staff, created a criminal enterprise involved in various serious offenses, including 129 00:10:09,420 --> 00:10:12,000 forced labor and bribery. 130 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,840 Well, alrighty, folks. 131 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,000 It's time for the quote of the day. 132 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:24,200 And today, our quote comes from the Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi. 133 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,200 And he said, 134 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:31,760 I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals 135 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,280 than anyone else. 136 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,600 I'm more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the 137 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,240 world. 138 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,600 When all this is over, what are you left with?
