WEBVTT 00:00:01.839 --> 00:00:04.700 Good morning and a warm welcome to your show, 00:00:05.219 --> 00:00:09.140 Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.560 --> 00:00:13.779 and it's Tuesday, December 2nd. You'll be interested 00:00:13.779 --> 00:00:20.300 to know. 83 years ago, today, in 1942, Enrico 00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:23.019 Fermi and his team achieved the first controlled 00:00:23.019 --> 00:00:26.679 chain reaction inside a graphite pile beneath 00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.879 the university. proving that sustained nuclear 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:32.420 fission could be harnessed safely for research 00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:35.859 and energy exploration. The milestone opened 00:00:35.859 --> 00:00:39.219 a new era of scientific possibility, demonstrating 00:00:39.219 --> 00:00:42.179 that careful experimental design could unlock 00:00:42.179 --> 00:00:45.679 enormous power for peaceful applications and 00:00:45.679 --> 00:00:50.340 future technological advances. So now you know. 00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:57.939 And now, it's time for the Surf Report. Tuesday 00:00:57.939 --> 00:01:01.539 in Encinitas. This morning, it's looking clean 00:01:01.539 --> 00:01:05.519 with waves around three -plus feet. Conditions 00:01:05.519 --> 00:01:08.019 hold steady through the morning, but expect them 00:01:08.019 --> 00:01:11.099 to shift to fair as the day goes on, reaching 00:01:11.099 --> 00:01:15.159 four to five feet by afternoon. Winds are currently 00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:18.359 offshore at four miles per hour, but will switch 00:01:18.359 --> 00:01:21.700 to onshore later, increasing to seven miles per 00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:26.640 hour. Mess time to ride is at 8 a .m. with a 00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.680 five -foot outgoing high tide when the west swell 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:33.400 is one and a half feet at 19 seconds and the 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:37.299 offshore wind is two mile per hour. The first 00:01:37.299 --> 00:01:40.299 high tide on Tuesday will be six and a half feet 00:01:40.299 --> 00:01:44.420 at 6 .15 a .m. followed by a minus half foot 00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:49.180 low tide just before 1 .30. The nearshore buoy 00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:53.319 at Beacons reads 64 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:54.659 --> 00:01:57.760 Wednesday offers clean conditions with 4 to 6 00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:00.519 foot waves, perfect for catching barrels early 00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.180 on. Thursday sees a slight decrease in size, 00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:07.500 with waves between 2 to 4 feet, remaining clean 00:02:07.500 --> 00:02:11.300 but less consistent. Friday continues the trend 00:02:11.300 --> 00:02:14.560 with smaller 1 to 2 foot surf, though conditions 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:17.319 remain fair for those looking to enjoy a relaxed 00:02:17.319 --> 00:02:21.789 day on the water. This morning it's sunny and 00:02:21.789 --> 00:02:25.430 it feels like 55 degrees with five mile per hour 00:02:25.430 --> 00:02:29.750 wind. The sunset will take place at 442 and it 00:02:29.750 --> 00:02:33.990 will rise again tomorrow at 638. It looks like 00:02:33.990 --> 00:02:36.729 we're in for some patchy fog this morning, clearing 00:02:36.729 --> 00:02:40.469 up to mostly sunny skies with a high near 63 00:02:40.469 --> 00:02:46.090 and a light breeze. Tonight, expect mostly cloudy 00:02:46.090 --> 00:02:52.520 skies with a low around 53. and calm winds. Looking 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:55.939 ahead in the weather. Wednesday will be mostly 00:02:55.939 --> 00:02:59.340 sunny with a high near 61 and a northwest breeze 00:02:59.340 --> 00:03:03.340 around 10 miles per hour. Thursday through Saturday 00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:06.939 remain sunny with highs in the low 60s and nights 00:03:06.939 --> 00:03:11.099 mostly in the low 50s. Bonjour, food enthusiasts. 00:03:11.740 --> 00:03:14.539 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles 00:03:14.539 --> 00:03:18.400 Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas.

In local news, San Diego 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:52.939 fans of the Women's World Cup may have exciting 00:03:52.939 --> 00:03:57.099 news for 2031 as the United States Soccer Federation 00:03:57.099 --> 00:04:00.639 has proposed Snapdragon Stadium as one of 14 00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.620 American venues to host matches. This multi -purpose 00:04:04.620 --> 00:04:07.620 stadium, owned by San Diego State University, 00:04:08.039 --> 00:04:11.960 can accommodate 35 ,000 spectators and is experienced 00:04:11.960 --> 00:04:16.089 in hosting major events. FIFA's bid book revealed 00:04:16.089 --> 00:04:19.310 a joint proposal from the United States, Mexico, 00:04:19.750 --> 00:04:23.149 Costa Rica, and Jamaica for the tournament, expected 00:04:23.149 --> 00:04:26.810 to draw 4 .5 million fans and generate about 00:04:26.810 --> 00:04:30.870 $4 billion in revenue. Final decisions on the 00:04:30.870 --> 00:04:33.629 venue selection are anticipated in the coming 00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:43.129 years. Now onto sports. Lane Kiffin's contract 00:04:43.129 --> 00:04:46.370 with Louisiana State University includes a unique 00:04:46.370 --> 00:04:49.009 clause that allows him to receive a bonus payment 00:04:49.009 --> 00:04:51.790 based on Ole Miss's college football playoff 00:04:51.790 --> 00:04:55.670 success. Kiffin's agreement, which spans seven 00:04:55.670 --> 00:05:00.170 years, pays him $13 million annually. He will 00:05:00.170 --> 00:05:02.410 earn the same college football playoff bonus 00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:05.250 from Louisiana State University that he would 00:05:05.250 --> 00:05:08.660 have if he remained with Ole Miss. The bonus 00:05:08.660 --> 00:05:13.339 begins at $150 ,000 for a first -round game and 00:05:13.339 --> 00:05:17.000 could reach $1 million if Ole Miss wins the national 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.740 championship. If fired without cause, he would 00:05:20.740 --> 00:05:24.879 receive 80 % of his remaining salary. And last 00:05:24.879 --> 00:05:27.740 night on Monday Night Football, Drake May passed 00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:30.660 for two touchdowns with Marcus Jones achieving 00:05:30.660 --> 00:05:34.110 a 94 -yard punt return for a touchdown. As the 00:05:34.110 --> 00:05:36.850 New England Patriots became the first NFL team 00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:40.209 to reach 11 wins this season, defeating the New 00:05:40.209 --> 00:05:44.829 York Giants 33 -15. This marked the Patriots' 00:05:44.889 --> 00:05:47.949 10th consecutive win, making it the franchise's 00:05:47.949 --> 00:05:50.410 longest streak since winning 10 straight games 00:05:50.410 --> 00:05:55.230 in 2015. Coach Mike Frable also became the third 00:05:55.230 --> 00:05:58.990 coach since 1970 to achieve a win streak of 10 00:05:58.990 --> 00:06:01.730 or more games in his first season with a team. 00:06:05.449 --> 00:06:08.329 Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert underwent 00:06:08.329 --> 00:06:11.410 successful surgery to stabilize a fracture in 00:06:11.410 --> 00:06:15.850 his non -throwing hand, the team announced. Herbert's 00:06:15.850 --> 00:06:18.709 return to play is considered day -to -day, and 00:06:18.709 --> 00:06:21.569 his status for next Monday's game against the 00:06:21.569 --> 00:06:24.350 Philadelphia Eagles will be determined later 00:06:24.350 --> 00:06:27.649 this week. He last spoke after the Chargers' 00:06:27.829 --> 00:06:32.189 31 -14 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, expressing 00:06:32.189 --> 00:06:35.930 hope about playing against the Eagles. Herbert 00:06:35.930 --> 00:06:38.470 broke his hand during a scramble, colliding with 00:06:38.470 --> 00:06:41.930 a defender's helmet. If he cannot play under 00:06:41.930 --> 00:06:44.370 center, the Chargers will need to adjust their 00:06:44.370 --> 00:06:48.269 offensive strategy. Herbert has experience playing 00:06:48.269 --> 00:06:51.089 through injuries and is known for his impressive 00:06:51.089 --> 00:06:57.529 toughness. In top news, Aiden Toner Rogers A 00:06:57.529 --> 00:07:00.790 27 -year -old graduate student at the Massachusetts 00:07:00.790 --> 00:07:03.990 Institute of Technology rapidly gained attention 00:07:03.990 --> 00:07:07.709 in economics with his influential paper on artificial 00:07:07.709 --> 00:07:11.470 intelligence's impact on workplaces. However, 00:07:11.810 --> 00:07:14.389 concerns arose when a computer scientist questioned 00:07:14.389 --> 00:07:18.029 the study's authenticity. Despite his promising 00:07:18.029 --> 00:07:21.629 start, Toner Rogers was later disavowed by MIT 00:07:21.629 --> 00:07:26.250 and left the institution. Mentors expressed disbelief 00:07:26.250 --> 00:07:29.250 at the extent of his deception as he seemingly 00:07:29.250 --> 00:07:33.009 fabricated the entire study. In the wake of the 00:07:33.009 --> 00:07:36.529 scandal, MIT is discussing ways to improve research 00:07:36.529 --> 00:07:40.970 integrity among graduate students. Toner Rogers 00:07:40.970 --> 00:07:43.990 admitted to faking a data use agreement, claiming 00:07:43.990 --> 00:07:49.430 it was a major error. In business news, Costco 00:07:49.430 --> 00:07:52.129 Wholesale Corporation joined a growing list of 00:07:52.129 --> 00:07:54.829 businesses suing the Trump administration to 00:07:54.829 --> 00:07:57.970 ensure eligibility for refunds if the United 00:07:57.970 --> 00:08:00.790 States Supreme Court strikes down the president's 00:08:00.790 --> 00:08:04.470 tariffs policy. This major warehouse club chain 00:08:04.470 --> 00:08:07.230 filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of 00:08:07.230 --> 00:08:10.470 International Trade on November 28th, prompted 00:08:10.470 --> 00:08:14.029 by uncertainty over refund guarantees for businesses 00:08:14.029 --> 00:08:17.990 paying duties. Costco argues for immediate court 00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:20.769 intervention, as Customs and Border Protection 00:08:20.769 --> 00:08:24.149 denied its request to extend tariff determination 00:08:24.149 --> 00:08:27.750 finalization. The Supreme Court heard arguments 00:08:27.750 --> 00:08:30.870 on tariffs on November 5th, and justices seemed 00:08:30.870 --> 00:08:34.710 skeptical during discussions. The ongoing tariff 00:08:34.710 --> 00:08:37.909 policies have disrupted retail, raising prices 00:08:37.909 --> 00:08:42.049 and hampering consumer purchasing power. In crypto 00:08:42.049 --> 00:08:46.740 movement, Bitcoin is up 1%. to just over $87 00:08:46.740 --> 00:08:52.519 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to just over $2 ,800. 00:08:53.759 --> 00:09:00.820 And XRP is down 1 % to $2 .02. Moving on to a 00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:05.320 more local vibe. In our community spotlight on 00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.279 health and wellness, we are working with a national 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.220 Pilates studio to bring you some free classes. 00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:16.059 So listen up.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.940 science. The scientists may have solved why this 00:09:54.940 --> 00:09:59.379 ancient, advanced civilization vanished. Climate 00:09:59.379 --> 00:10:01.840 data offers clues to what might have happened 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:05.039 to people of the Indus River Valley and how that 00:10:05.039 --> 00:10:08.659 might relate to our own warming world. At its 00:10:08.659 --> 00:10:11.580 peak, this civilization featured gridded streets. 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.960 multi -story brick homes, and flush toilets. 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.620 They traded gold, precious stones and items, 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.620 such as bronze carts along the waterways. A study 00:10:22.620 --> 00:10:24.720 published in the journal Communications Earth 00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:27.460 and Environment found that four intense droughts 00:10:27.460 --> 00:10:30.259 reduced rainfall, which probably caused residents 00:10:30.259 --> 00:10:33.720 to relocate frequently. The research highlights 00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:36.799 the importance of proactive planning and resilient 00:10:36.799 --> 00:10:43.830 agricultural systems in a warming world. Entertainment 00:10:43.830 --> 00:10:48.049 news.
