Good morning and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Friday, October 24th. You'll be interested
to know. 80 years ago, today, in 1945, delegates
signed the United Nations Charter, establishing
a new international organization committed to
peace, cooperation, and collective security.
This founding agreement created a lasting framework
for diplomatic dialogue and humanitarian law,
marking a milestone in global governance and
post -war reconstruction. So now you know. And
now, it's time for the Surf Report. Friday in
Encinitas. This morning, it's looking clean with
waves around one to two feet. Conditions stay

expect fair conditions with 2 plus feet waves
becoming choppy as the wind picks up to 7 miles

news, Chula Vista is one step closer to building
a university. A new California bill signed by
Governor Gavin Newsom officially establishes
a task force to evaluate the next steps for the
first public university in southern San Diego
County. Assemblymember David Alvarez stated,
a university education is here, a university
campus is coming. Chula Vista The largest city
in the state without a public university offering
bachelor's degree programs has nearly 600 ,000
residents in South County without access to these
degrees. The task force will assess governance
structures, funding models, and other necessary
elements to establish the university. Chula Vista
leaders have set aside more than 380 acres of
city -owned land for a university innovation
district. This project aims to create a direct
pipeline from education to employment for the
region's workforce demands. Now on to sports.
Last night, on Thursday Night Football, the Chargers
beat the Vikings in a slaughter 37 to 10. Justin
Herbert was 18 for 25, with 227 yards passing,
three passing touchdowns, and one interception.
Carson Wentz was 15 for 27, with 144 yards passing,
one passing touchdown, one interception. The
Chargers are now 5 -3, and the Vikings fall to
3 -4. And on Sunday Night Football this week,
we got the 4 -1 Packers in Pittsburgh to face
the 4 -2 Steelers. Packers are favored by 2 .5,
with the over -under set at 45 .5. Kickoff is
at 8 .20 Eastern on NBC. And now, World Series
predictions are in, as experts weigh in on whether
the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Toronto Blue Jays
will be crowned champions. After an October filled
with dramatic moments, the World Series has arrived.
The Dodgers have cruised to a 9 -1 record, while
the Blue Jays faced a thrilling seven -game American
League championship series. Most staff predicted
the Seattle Mariners and the Philadelphia Phillies
would reach the World Series, but now the Dodgers
are favored due to their dominant performance.
Experts believe the matchup will be intense,
with the Dodgers' depth likely giving them the
edge. Tonight, game one in Toronto with Blake
Snell facing Trejasovic in local sports. In college
football, after a weekend of pivotal matchups,
we move on to week nine for the Mountain West
and the rest of college football. It is rivalry
week in the Mountain West. Looking at FanDuel's
opening odds, we can gain insight into what the
oddsmakers think about this week's games. For
instance, Boise State is favored by 21 .5 points
against Nevada with an over -under of 50 .5.
In the San Diego State versus Fresno State game,
the Aztecs are favored by 2 .5 points with an
over -under of 48 .5. Remember, lines are subject
to change. In top news, scientists have been
studying superagers for 25 years. and a recent
study from Northwestern University reveals an
intriguing habit they share. Super -agers who
are 80 or older demonstrate cognitive functions
comparable to those of middle -aged individuals.
These remarkable individuals maintain a more
active social life, which appears to be crucial
for their mental sharpness. The research indicates
that social engagement may enhance brain health,
as chronic isolation can negatively impact well
-being. Experts suggest that being socially active
is essentially a workout for the brain, promoting
overall health and cognitive resilience. In business
news, decentralized exchanges are experiencing
a significant transformation reminiscent of Robinhood's
early impact on financial markets. When Robinhood
introduced commission -free trading in 2013,
it faced skepticism. Yet by 2021, those same
traders were reshaping Wall Street. Similarly,
decentralized exchanges are overcoming initial
critiques as they democratize access and build
new market infrastructures. Critics argue that
much of the volume comes from automated trading,
but this overlooks the foundational changes occurring.
As institutional custody solutions improve, decentralized
exchanges are set to offer advantages that traditional
finance cannot replicate, paging the way for
mainstream adoption. In crypto movement, Bitcoin
is unchanged for the week at about $111 ,000.
Ethereum is down 2 % to just under 4 ,000. And
XRP is down 1%. to $2 .44. Moving on to a more
local vibe. In our community spotlight on health

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. The Europa Clipper spacecraft may soon
be pummeled by charged particles from the ion
tail of the interstellar comet, 3i Atlas. This
prediction comes from two European researchers
who developed computer code to identify spacecraft
alignments with a comet's tail and the Sun. This
harmless event presents a rare opportunity to
sample material from a comet beyond our solar
system. Samuel Grant from the Finnish Meteorological
Institute stated that it offers insights into
interstellar comets and their formation. However,
the ongoing United States government shutdown
could hinder efforts to activate Europa Clippers
instruments for measurements during the alignment
period from October 30th to November 6th. Ben
Stiller's touching documentary about his parents,
Stiller and Mera, Nothing is Lost, is now available
on Apple TV. This project is very personal to
him and his family. Jerry Stiller, better known
as Frank Costanza in Seinfeld, was Ben Stiller's
father in real life. However, many do not know
that his career spanned over a decade, alongside
his wife and Mera, Ben Stiller's mother. Through
this documentary, Ben Stiller and his sister
uncover lost diaries, recordings and interviews,
revisiting their parents' lives. Well, all righty,
folks. It's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American diplomat
and historian George Kennan. And he said, And
that's a wrap for this morning. You can check
