Saturday through Monday 00:01:43.079 --> 00:01:46.200 features ways to head high waves with predominantly 00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:49.680 clean morning conditions, especially on Sunday. 00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:53.680 Late winds from the northwest and SSW create 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:57.180 ideal surf early on, while afternoons shift to 00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:00.480 fair and occasionally choppy conditions as winds 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:03.920 increase.

Strolling 00:04:10.210 --> 00:04:14.030 along the promenade on Avenida de la Playa. in 00:04:14.030 --> 00:04:17.529 La Jolla Shores is a delightful experience for 00:04:17.529 --> 00:04:21.730 many San Diegans and tourists. Visitors appreciate 00:04:21.730 --> 00:04:24.850 the worry -free environment and lack of traffic. 00:04:25.730 --> 00:04:29.069 Locals value the outdoor seating options, especially 00:04:29.069 --> 00:04:32.930 in the post -COVID era. However, the future of 00:04:32.930 --> 00:04:36.209 this car -free street, closed between El Paseo 00:04:36.209 --> 00:04:39.810 Grande and Calle de la Plata, remains uncertain. 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.019 as the City of San Diego's special events permit 00:04:43.019 --> 00:04:46.879 expires on August 9th. The City is collaborating 00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:49.680 with the La Jolla Shores Business Association 00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:53.360 to secure a permanent permit, vital for businesses 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:56.779 like Sushi Mori, which benefits from increased 00:04:56.779 --> 00:05:00.259 outdoor dining.

As the NFL preseason kicks 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:19.199 off, teams must adapt to four significant rule 00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:23.560 changes for 2025. First, touchbacks will now 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.980 be at the 35 -yard line, encouraging more returns. 00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:31.300 Next, onside kicks can be attempted at any point, 00:05:31.420 --> 00:05:34.800 as long as the team is trailing. The leap will 00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:37.560 also implement Sony's Hawkeye technology for 00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.480 electronic first down measurements. while retaining 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:44.300 the chain gang for backups. Replay assist can 00:05:44.300 --> 00:05:47.639 now overturn additional penalties, and both teams 00:05:47.639 --> 00:05:50.360 will have guaranteed possessions in regular season 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:56.060 overtime. In local sports, the Padres were off 00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:59.360 last night, but tonight they face the Boston 00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.480 Red Sox at Petco Park for Game 1 of a three -game 00:06:03.480 --> 00:06:08.189 series. Nick Pivetta. with a 11 -3 record and 00:06:08.189 --> 00:06:12.230 a 2 .73 earned run average, goes against Walker 00:06:12.230 --> 00:06:18.689 Bueller, 6 -6, with a 5 .74. First pitch is at 00:06:18.689 --> 00:06:25.029 640 under cloudy skies and 75 degrees. In top 00:06:25.029 --> 00:06:28.389 news, a pilot believes he may have discovered 00:06:28.389 --> 00:06:31.930 Amelia Earhart's lost plane using Google Earth. 00:06:32.970 --> 00:06:36.149 Justin Myers, inspired by a documentary about 00:06:36.149 --> 00:06:39.449 Earhart's final flight, examined anomalies near 00:06:39.449 --> 00:06:43.089 Nikumaroro Island. He compared these findings 00:06:43.089 --> 00:06:45.430 with the Lockheed Electra 10 ease measurements 00:06:45.430 --> 00:06:48.009 and observed what appeared to be aircraft debris, 00:06:48.310 --> 00:06:52.170 including a radial engine. Despite his efforts 00:06:52.170 --> 00:06:54.670 to present his findings to various institutions, 00:06:55.089 --> 00:06:57.470 including the National Transportation Safety 00:06:57.470 --> 00:07:00.350 Board and the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, 00:07:00.810 --> 00:07:04.410 he has received little response. Myers remains 00:07:04.410 --> 00:07:08.269 hopeful, stating, if this is not Amelia's Electra 00:07:08.269 --> 00:07:11.370 10e, then it's the answer to another mystery. 00:07:12.170 --> 00:07:16.209 In business news, companies are increasingly 00:07:16.209 --> 00:07:19.350 merging their human resources and information 00:07:19.350 --> 00:07:22.089 technology departments under a single leader, 00:07:22.230 --> 00:07:24.810 driven by the rise of artificial intelligence. 00:07:25.930 --> 00:07:29.910 A survey from NextThink reveals that 64 % of 00:07:29.910 --> 00:07:33.689 senior IT decision makers anticipate this integration 00:07:33.689 --> 00:07:38.189 within five years. Tracy Franklin, Chief People 00:07:38.189 --> 00:07:41.910 and Digital Technology Officer at biotech company 00:07:41.910 --> 00:07:45.449 Moderna, oversees both functions, emphasizing 00:07:45.449 --> 00:07:49.029 a new approach that blends technology with workforce 00:07:49.029 --> 00:07:54.160 planning. Similarly, Fabio Satolo. Chief People 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:57.600 and Technology Officer at Kavision advocates 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.819 for a unified vision to enhance employee development 00:08:00.819 --> 00:08:05.040 and technology adaptation. Experts warn, however, 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:07.680 that merging these distinct skill sets could 00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:11.800 dilute essential expertise. In crypto movement, 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:17.699 Bitcoin is up 2 % for the week to about $117 00:08:17.699 --> 00:08:22.730 ,000. Ethereum is up half a percent. to just 00:08:22.730 --> 00:08:32.450 over $3 ,900. And XRP is up 11 % to $3 .34. Moving 00:08:32.450 --> 00:08:36.990 on to a more local vibe.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:23.659 --> 00:09:27.740 tech. Artificial intelligence is transforming 00:09:27.740 --> 00:09:31.179 the consulting landscape, and McKinsey is feeling 00:09:31.179 --> 00:09:35.059 the pressure. With AI capable of analyzing information 00:09:35.059 --> 00:09:38.620 and creating polished presentations in mere seconds, 00:09:38.919 --> 00:09:43.210 the firm is undergoing a significant shift. Global 00:09:43.210 --> 00:09:46.409 managing partner Bob Sternfels noted that AI 00:09:46.409 --> 00:09:49.950 is now a central topic in board meetings, influencing 00:09:49.950 --> 00:09:53.429 client interactions, hiring practices, and project 00:09:53.429 --> 00:09:57.350 selection. McKinsey has deployed thousands of 00:09:57.350 --> 00:10:01.009 AI agents to assist consultants, leading to a 00:10:01.009 --> 00:10:03.950 reduction in workforce from approximately 45 00:10:03.950 --> 00:10:08.870 ,000 to 40 ,000. As consulting firms adapt, the 00:10:08.870 --> 00:10:11.549 demand for traditional strategy advice is declining. 00:10:12.090 --> 00:10:18.250 signaling a new era in the industry. Entertainment 00:10:18.250 --> 00:10:22.450 News. My Mother's Wedding is a heartwarming family 00:10:22.450 --> 00:10:25.570 dramedy featuring Scarlett Johansson and Sienna 00:10:25.570 --> 00:10:28.870 Miller as sisters navigating a complicated family 00:10:28.870 --> 00:10:32.370 gathering. Directed by Kristen Scott Thomas, 00:10:32.649 --> 00:10:35.750 the film tells the story of three daughters uniting 00:10:35.750 --> 00:10:38.529 for their mother's third wedding. unveiling deep 00:10:38.529 --> 00:10:41.509 -seated emotional struggles and past dramas. 00:10:42.330 --> 00:10:45.090 Despite the touching performances, particularly 00:10:45.090 --> 00:10:47.990 from Johansson and Miller, the film occasionally 00:10:47.990 --> 00:10:51.149 gets bogged down in exposition, making it feel 00:10:51.149 --> 00:10:55.210 uneven. While it captures the essence of familial 00:10:55.210 --> 00:10:58.009 bonds and memories, it ultimately struggles to 00:10:58.009 --> 00:11:01.370 deliver a coherent emotional punch, leaving audiences 00:11:01.370 --> 00:11:05.710 yearning for more depth.
