I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.359 --> 00:00:13.660 and it's Wednesday, October 8th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.660 --> 00:00:20.260 to know. 77 years ago, today in 1948, the world 00:00:20.260 --> 00:00:23.300 witnessed a remarkable first when a pioneering 00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.480 Swedish engineer, Arne Larsson, received the 00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:29.539 world's first internal pacemaker implant in Salna 00:00:29.539 --> 00:00:32.679 City, Sweden. A moment that heralded a new era 00:00:32.679 --> 00:00:36.159 in life -saving cardiac technology, inspiring 00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.679 generations of medical innovators. So now you 00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:45.219 know. And now, it's time for the Surf Report. 00:00:48.140 --> 00:00:52.000 Wednesday in Encinitas. This morning it's looking 00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.340 fair with waves around 2 feet and a south -southwest 00:00:56.340 --> 00:01:00.759 ground swell. Conditions stay clean until about 00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.019 9 when they shift to choppy as the wind goes 00:01:04.019 --> 00:01:08.659 onshore at 5 miles per hour. Throughout the afternoon, 00:01:09.260 --> 00:01:12.620 expect choppy waves in the 2 to 3 feet, range 00:01:12.620 --> 00:01:17.359 as the wind picks up to 11 miles per hour. Best 00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.579 time to ride is at 7 a .m. with a 4 -foot incoming 00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:24.980 mid -tide when the south -southwest swell is 00:01:24.980 --> 00:01:28.540 1 .5 feet at 11 seconds. and the sightshore wind 00:01:28.540 --> 00:01:32.840 is four mile per hour. The first high tide on 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.120 Wednesday will be six and a half feet at 10 a 00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.939 .m., followed by a minus half foot low tide just 00:01:39.939 --> 00:01:44.500 before five. The nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 00:01:44.500 --> 00:01:49.519 67 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions 00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:51.980 start fair with two -foot waves on Thursday, 00:01:52.379 --> 00:01:56.640 gradually becoming choppy by midday. Friday maintains 00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.920 two -foot surf with choppy conditions, particularly 00:01:59.920 --> 00:02:03.900 in the afternoon. Saturday sees a steady increase 00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:07.560 in swell, reaching 2 to 3 plus feet, though conditions 00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.280 remain choppy throughout the day, making Sunday 00:02:10.280 --> 00:02:15.419 the most favorable option for surfers. This morning, 00:02:15.659 --> 00:02:19.360 it's cloudy and it feels like 66 degrees with 00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:23.419 5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take place 00:02:23.419 --> 00:02:27.349 at 625. and it will rise again tomorrow at 650. 00:02:28.430 --> 00:02:30.930 It looks like we're in for a partly sunny day 00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:34.270 with a high near 68 and a light northwest breeze 00:02:34.270 --> 00:02:39.289 at 5 to 10 miles per hour. Tonight, there's a 00:02:39.289 --> 00:02:42.370 slight chance of rain showers after 5 a .m. with 00:02:42.370 --> 00:02:46.310 partly cloudy skies and a low around 63, along 00:02:46.310 --> 00:02:50.969 with a gentle northwest wind. Looking ahead in 00:02:50.969 --> 00:02:54.530 the weather, Thursday will be partly sunny, with 00:02:54.530 --> 00:02:57.550 a slight chance of showers before 11 a .m., then 00:02:57.550 --> 00:03:00.509 a chance of showers and thunderstorms, and highs 00:03:00.509 --> 00:03:04.590 near 69, with a northwest breeze of 5 to 10 miles 00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:08.530 per hour. Thursday night into Friday night stays 00:03:08.530 --> 00:03:11.830 mostly to partly cloudy, with lows near 66 Friday 00:03:11.830 --> 00:03:15.930 and near 65 Saturday, then mainly mostly sunny 00:03:15.930 --> 00:03:18.750 on Saturday and Sunday. with high slipping from 00:03:18.750 --> 00:03:23.789 near 69 Saturday to around 67 Sunday.

In local 00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:05.979 news, an all -time record number of six sea lions 00:04:05.979 --> 00:04:09.120 has washed up on California beaches since a deadly 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.330 bacterial disease broke out this summer. according 00:04:12.330 --> 00:04:15.409 to the Sausalito -based Marine Mammal Center. 00:04:16.449 --> 00:04:18.810 The outbreak has been especially concentrated 00:04:18.810 --> 00:04:22.189 in Santa Cruz and Monterey counties, with at 00:04:22.189 --> 00:04:26.889 least 375 cases of leptospirosis reported since 00:04:26.889 --> 00:04:30.569 July 1st. The death rate has been unusually high 00:04:30.569 --> 00:04:33.310 this year, and Marine Mammal Center spokesman 00:04:33.310 --> 00:04:36.610 Giancarlo Ruoli noted that rescuers are still 00:04:36.610 --> 00:04:40.339 responding to two or three rescues daily. While 00:04:40.339 --> 00:04:42.720 the outbreak appears to be slowing, concerns 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.300 remain about the unpredictable nature of this 00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:48.060 disease and its implications for the health of 00:04:48.060 --> 00:04:57.540 the ocean. Now on to sports. The Cleveland Browns 00:04:57.540 --> 00:05:00.360 traded quarterback Joe Flacco and a sixth round 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:03.240 pick to the Cincinnati Bengals for a fifth round 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.730 selection on Tuesday. The Bengals, struggling 00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:10.389 with a 2 -win and 3 -lost record, have been reeling 00:05:10.389 --> 00:05:13.610 without quarterback Joe Burrow, who was out with 00:05:13.610 --> 00:05:17.910 turf toe. Meanwhile, the Browns, with a 1 -win 00:05:17.910 --> 00:05:21.110 and 4 -lost record, opted for youth over Flacco, 00:05:21.529 --> 00:05:24.870 who was recently benched. This trade improves 00:05:24.870 --> 00:05:27.310 the Browns' draft stock while giving the Bengals 00:05:27.310 --> 00:05:30.149 a veteran presence in Flacco, who is expected 00:05:30.149 --> 00:05:33.519 to help until Burrow returns in December. The 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.779 trade could also pave the way for rookie Shadir 00:05:35.779 --> 00:05:40.899 Sanders to make his NFL debut in local sports. 00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:46.160 San Diego Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. has 00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:48.800 been ordered by an arbitrator to pay Big League 00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:55.360 Advance $3 ,700 ,000. Big League Advance recently 00:05:55.360 --> 00:05:57.939 petitioned the Superior Court of District of 00:05:57.939 --> 00:06:00.860 Columbia to confirm an arbitration award against 00:06:00.860 --> 00:06:05.100 Tatis. The petition was filed on September 24 00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:08.379 and included a copy of a September 11 decision 00:06:08.379 --> 00:06:12.740 by arbitrator Anthony J. Carpinello. This decision 00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:16.040 rejected Tatis' request for a stay of the arbitration 00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:18.819 pending the outcome of the lawsuit he filed in 00:06:18.819 --> 00:06:22.459 California. Tatis signed a contract with Big 00:06:22.459 --> 00:06:25.620 League Advance in 2017, agreeing to give them 00:06:25.620 --> 00:06:29.079 10 % of his future earnings for a $2 million 00:06:29.079 --> 00:06:32.620 upfront payment. While a lawsuit is ongoing, 00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:35.600 the arbitrator's recent ruling does not bode 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:41.879 well for Tatis. In top news, Kaiser Permanente 00:06:41.879 --> 00:06:45.240 workers plan a massive strike across California 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.600 next week. Tens of thousands of nurses and health 00:06:49.600 --> 00:06:52.420 professionals in Northern California are preparing 00:06:52.420 --> 00:06:55.839 to strike on October 14th in what union leaders 00:06:55.839 --> 00:06:58.519 say will be the largest work stoppage in the 00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:02.269 company's history. The United Nurses Associations 00:07:02.269 --> 00:07:05.670 of California and Union of Health Care Professionals 00:07:05.670 --> 00:07:08.769 issued a 10 -day strike notice to Kaiser executives 00:07:08.769 --> 00:07:12.670 on Friday. The five -day strike is expected to 00:07:12.670 --> 00:07:15.490 affect more than two dozen hospitals and clinics 00:07:15.490 --> 00:07:20.170 across California and Hawaii. Union leaders cite 00:07:20.170 --> 00:07:23.689 stagnant wages and unsafe staffing levels as 00:07:23.689 --> 00:07:28.209 key issues. Kaiser Permanente stated it has been 00:07:28.209 --> 00:07:31.449 negotiating in good faith and hopes to avoid 00:07:31.449 --> 00:07:37.230 a strike. In business news, Bitcoin, the world's 00:07:37.230 --> 00:07:40.310 largest cryptocurrency, could join gold and the 00:07:40.310 --> 00:07:42.790 United States dollar on central banks balance 00:07:42.790 --> 00:07:46.389 sheets by 2030, according to strategists at Deutsche 00:07:46.389 --> 00:07:50.449 Bank. Central banks hold reserve assets to manage 00:07:50.449 --> 00:07:54.990 exchange rates and pay off external debt. So 00:07:54.990 --> 00:07:58.639 far, Bitcoin has been too volatile and illiquid 00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:01.839 to qualify, but Deutsche Bank's Marion Labour 00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.339 and Camilla Cézanne argue that Bitcoin is now 00:08:05.339 --> 00:08:09.800 almost there. Bitcoin's growing liquidity, partly 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.660 due to the United States' approval of spot Bitcoin 00:08:12.660 --> 00:08:16.660 exchange -traded funds in 2024, may make it more 00:08:16.660 --> 00:08:20.410 appealing to central banks. However, Bitcoin 00:08:20.410 --> 00:08:23.209 remains far from receiving approval from major 00:08:23.209 --> 00:08:25.970 central banks like the Federal Reserve and the 00:08:25.970 --> 00:08:30.649 European Central Bank. In crypto movement Bitcoin 00:08:30.649 --> 00:08:37.049 is down 2 % to just under $122 ,000. Ethereum 00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:42.750 is down 5 % to just under $4 ,500. And XRP is 00:08:42.750 --> 00:08:50.039 down 4 % to $2 .86. Moving on to a more local 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:54.159 vibe.

Google is previewing this model designed 00:10:01.600 --> 00:10:04.700 to navigate and interact with the web, letting 00:10:04.700 --> 00:10:08.039 AI agents perform tasks within human -designed 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:11.860 interfaces. It utilizes visual understanding 00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:15.519 and reasoning capabilities to analyze user requests 00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:19.960 and complete tasks. Gemini 2 .5 is available 00:10:19.960 --> 00:10:23.659 to developers through Google AI Studio and Vertex 00:10:23.659 --> 00:10:30.360 AI with a demo on browser base. Entertainment 00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:34.620 news. Kiss of the Spider Woman is a stunning 00:10:34.620 --> 00:10:37.679 musical until Jennifer Lopez starts singing. 00:10:38.330 --> 00:10:41.690 The film showcases a good story, despite generic 00:10:41.690 --> 00:10:44.889 songs from John Kander and Fred Ebb, which are 00:10:44.889 --> 00:10:49.649 weakly performed by Lopez. Breakout star Tonasia 00:10:49.649 --> 00:10:53.470 dances beautifully, yet Lopez's performance lacks 00:10:53.470 --> 00:10:57.570 passion. Directed by Bill Condon, the film dazzles 00:10:57.570 --> 00:11:00.470 with choreography and production design, promising 00:11:00.470 --> 00:11:05.250 a bright future for Tonasia. Lopez, resembling 00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:09.039 Madonna, shines as an actor and dancer, elevating 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:12.639 moments with her performance. However, her singing 00:11:12.639 --> 00:11:15.820 fails to impress, revealing a thin voice that 00:11:15.820 --> 00:11:19.639 lacks the needed strength for the role. Well, 00:11:19.639 --> 00:11:22.580 alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the 00:11:22.580 --> 00:11:26.500 day. And today, our quote comes from the British 00:11:26.500 --> 00:11:29.960 philosopher and mathematician, Alfred North Whitehead. 00:11:30.960 --> 00:11:41.279 And he said, And that's a wrap for this morning. 00:11:42.220 --> 00:11:44.820 You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and 00:11:44.820 --> 00:11:48.460 TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with 00:11:48.460 --> 00:11:52.519 local news and the surf reports.
