Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, Sunny Mornings in Encinitas.
I'm your host, Melissa, and it's Friday, October 18th.
You'll be interested to know.
Forty-five years ago, today, in 1979, Mother Teresa, founder of a Roman Catholic order
of women dedicated to the poor, and particularly to the destitute of India, was awarded the
Nobel Prize for Peace.
Her outstanding humanitarian work highlighted the profound impact of selfless service and
brought global attention to the plight of the impoverished.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect me to waste high swell on Thursday, with light side-shore texture in the morning
and offshore winds becoming semi-choppy in the afternoon with onshore winds.
On Friday, conditions will be similar in the morning, transitioning to bumpy in the afternoon.
Saturday and Sunday mornings will be glassy with offshore winds turning semi-choppy in
the afternoons.
Thursday in Encinitas and North County.
It's looking fair at two to three feet until noon.
After that, it's looking pretty choppy until sunset.
Best time to ride is at 7 a.m. with a 4.5-foot incoming high tide when the south-southeast
swell is 2 feet at 13 seconds and the offshore wind is 6 mile per hour.
The first high tide will be 6.5-foot at 9.15 a.m. with a minus-a-half-foot low tide just
before 4.
The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 65 degrees for the water temperature.
This morning it's a slight chance of rain showers and feels like 62 degrees with 8 mile
per hour wind.
The sunset will take place at 6.11 and it will rise again tomorrow at 6.56.
It looks like we're in for a cloudy day with a chance of light rain showers and a high
around 65 accompanied by a gentle south wind.
Tonight we can expect continued cloudy skies with a low of 60 and light winds.
Looking ahead in the weather.
Expect mostly sunny skies through Monday with daytime highs ranging from 63 to 66 degrees.
Nights will be partly cloudy with lows around 58 to 60.
Apache fog may develop after 11 p.m. on Monday, so stay alert.

In local news, Danish pharmaceutical giant Lundvek has agreed to acquire La Jolla-based
Longboard Pharmaceuticals for nearly $3 billion, aiming to access its innovative epilepsy drug.
This acquisition, announced on Monday, will enhance Lundvek's portfolio for neurological
conditions, including Parkinson's disease and migraines.
Longboard's lead drug candidate, Mexicasserin, is an oral treatment for rare epileptic disorders
and has received a breakthrough therapy designation from the United States Food and Drug Administration.
The deal, the largest in Lundvek's history, is expected to close by the end of this year,
with Longboard stock surging significantly following the announcement.
Now on to sports.
On Thursday night football, the New Orleans Saints, holding a record of 2-4, host the
Denver Broncos, who stand at 3-3 in a game rich with nostalgia.
Sean Payton will make his return to the Superdome, this time as Denver's coach, facing his
former team now led by rookie quarterback Spencer Rattler.
The Saints defense, ranked last in the league, faces a significant challenge from Bo Nix
and the Broncos' dynamic offense.
Oddsmakers favor Denver by 3 points, with an over-under set at 46.
Meanwhile in baseball, the Yankees will face off against the Guardians tonight at Progressive
Field for game 3 of the ALCS, with New York leading the series 2-0.
Clark Schmidt will face Matthew Boyd.
Fans can expect a cool 58 degrees in Cleveland, with the Yankees favored by 1-1.5 runs.
Last night, the Los Angeles Dodgers dominated the New York Mets 8-0 in game 3 of the NLCCS
at Citi Field.
Shohei Otani's 3-run homer in the 8th sealed the win, while Michael Kopek delivered a stellar
performance, securing the victory with 6 strikeouts over 9 innings.
The Dodgers now lead the series 2-1, placing the Mets in a challenging position.
Tonight, the teams return to Citi Field for game 4, with Yoshinobu Yamamoto taking the
mound against Jose Quintana.
The weather in Queens is expected to be a brisk 55 degrees, and the Mets are favored
by 1-1.5 runs.
In local sports, the Los Angeles Chargers are making strides this season with a record
of 3 wins and 2 losses under new head coach Jim Harbaugh.
Nevertheless, there's room for improvement on the defensive line.
With key players like Otito Abinia, Puna Ford, and Tiertard on one-year contracts, the team
is seeking a long-term solution.
ESPN's Jordan Reed suggests Dion Walker as an ideal fit.
The 6'6", 345-pound defensive tackle from the Kentucky Wildcats excels at stopping the
run and possesses impressive agility for his size.
Walker is a potential first-round pick that aligns perfectly with Harbaugh's vision
for the team.
Shifting gears to hockey, the Los Angeles Kings are looking to improve their record
as they head to Montreal tonight to face the Canadians, who stand at 2-2.
Anne's Kopitor leads the Kings with 6 points, while Montreal's Cole Caufield is making
waves with 4 goals and 6 points.
Unfortunately, goaltender Darcy Comber is out for L.A., which could impact their performance.
In top news, the side effects of ozempic, an injectable drug primarily used for weight
loss, often garner attention.
Commonly reported effects include gastrointestinal upset, nausea, and stomach pain, which typically
resolve within days.
However, some users may experience more serious issues, like muscle loss, which can impact
metabolic health.
Changes in menstrual cycles may also occur, likely due to weight loss rather than the
drug itself.
Less common but severe side effects include pancreatitis and allergic reactions.
Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals should avoid this medication.
Consulting a doctor about potential interactions and managing side effects is crucial.
In business news, Bitcoin has experienced significant volatility this week, recently
rebounding above $60,000 per Bitcoin after a sharp decline.
Analysts at JP Morgan predict a debasement trade could drive further price increases
leading into the U.S. election.
Michael Saylor, founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, revealed his company's
ambitious plan to evolve into a Bitcoin investment bank, aiming to acquire over $100 billion
in Bitcoin.
Saylor believes Bitcoin is the most valuable asset in the world and predicts its price
could reach $13 million by 2045.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just over $67,100.
Ethereum is just over $2,600.
And Solana is $155.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have discovered that mice may possess ultrasonic
powers, using sound to manipulate nanoparticles and enhance their sense of smell.
Traditionally, these rodents were thought to use ultrasonic vocalizations solely for
courtship.
However, bioacoustics experts observed that mice sniff after producing these sounds,
suggesting a more complex function.
This phenomenon, described as creating new pathways of information, could reshape our
understanding of animal communication and provide insights into manipulating nanoparticles
with sound.
As Jessica Joe from Harvard University notes, mice play a crucial role in biological research,
potentially leading to significant medical advancements.

Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the Albanian humanitarian and missionary, Mother Teresa.

I have found the paradox that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt,
only more love.
