I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.099 --> 00:00:13.699 and it's Tuesday, January 13th. You'll be interested 00:00:13.699 --> 00:00:20.579 to know. 69 years ago, today, in 1957, a pair 00:00:20.579 --> 00:00:23.300 of playful entrepreneurs shaped a molded plastic 00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:26.420 disc into the frisbee, turning a simple toss 00:00:26.420 --> 00:00:29.559 into a widely loved recreational flying toy at 00:00:29.559 --> 00:00:33.530 parks and beaches. That inventive leap popularized 00:00:33.530 --> 00:00:36.869 casual outdoor play, inspired organized flying 00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:39.950 disc sports, and established a cultural icon 00:00:39.950 --> 00:00:45.969 of mid -20th century. So now you know. And now 00:00:45.969 --> 00:00:52.829 it's time for the Surf Report. Tuesday in Encinitas. 00:00:53.869 --> 00:00:56.590 This morning it's looking clean with waves around 00:00:56.590 --> 00:01:00.520 2 to 3 plus feet. Conditions hold steady through 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.299 the morning, but by noon, they drop to two to 00:01:03.299 --> 00:01:07.280 three feet and become fair. Winds shift from 00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.819 offshore at five to six miles per hour, then 00:01:10.819 --> 00:01:14.140 turn onshore by late morning at two miles per 00:01:14.140 --> 00:01:18.920 hour. Best time to ride is at 10 a .m. with the 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:21.920 two -foot outgoing mid -tide when the west -northwest 00:01:21.920 --> 00:01:25.489 swell is one and a half feet at 15 seconds. and 00:01:25.489 --> 00:01:29.549 the sideshore wind is 0 mile per hour. And the 00:01:29.549 --> 00:01:32.870 first low tide on Tuesday will be 0 foot at 1 00:01:32.870 --> 00:01:37.849 p .m., followed by a 3 foot high tide at 8. The 00:01:37.849 --> 00:01:41.750 nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 62 degrees for 00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:45.530 the water temperature. Wednesday provides clean 00:01:45.530 --> 00:01:48.689 conditions with waves ranging from 2 to 3 plus 00:01:48.689 --> 00:01:53.260 feet throughout the day. Thursday sees a steady 00:01:53.260 --> 00:01:56.659 increase in size, reaching 3 to 4 plus feet, 00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:59.219 while remaining clean and favorable for most 00:01:59.219 --> 00:02:02.700 of the day. Friday holds similar heights, but 00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:05.299 shifts to choppy conditions by the afternoon, 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.199 making it less appealing compared to Thursday. 00:02:10.379 --> 00:02:13.759 This morning, it's sunny, and it feels like 55 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.020 degrees, with 5 mile per hour wind. The sunset 00:02:18.020 --> 00:02:21.159 will take place at 5 .03. and it will rise again 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:25.360 tomorrow at 654. It looks like grin for a sunny 00:02:25.360 --> 00:02:28.979 Tuesday with a high near 68 and a light west 00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:34.219 wind. Tonight.

Saturday 00:02:50.539 --> 00:02:54.039 turns mostly sunny with highs near 70 and nights 00:02:54.039 --> 00:02:56.879 mostly clear to partly cloudy with lows around 00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:01.900 56.

In local news, two of 00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:41.659 California's largest home insurers will each 00:03:41.659 --> 00:03:44.840 raise rates for customers by an average of 6 00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:48.419 .9 % later this year. According to filings with 00:03:48.419 --> 00:03:52.319 the California Department of Insurance, CSAA 00:03:52.319 --> 00:03:55.039 will begin implementing the rate increase for 00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:59.360 nearly 481 ,800 homeowners starting on March 00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:04.000 15th. Rates for more than 650 ,000 customers 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.020 with Mercury Insurance will begin to change in 00:04:07.020 --> 00:04:10.259 July, with homeowners' rates rising by an average 00:04:10.259 --> 00:04:15.289 of 8 .2%. Both insurers attributed the need for 00:04:15.289 --> 00:04:18.370 a rate increase to inflation and the risk of 00:04:18.370 --> 00:04:22.990 catastrophes, such as wildfires. Customers can 00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:25.410 reach out to their agent to ask questions about 00:04:25.410 --> 00:04:33.670 what discounts they might qualify for. Now on 00:04:33.670 --> 00:04:38.050 to sports. Last night, the Houston Texans dominated 00:04:38.050 --> 00:04:40.730 the Pittsburgh Steelers, winning their wildcard 00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:45.509 matchup. 30 to 6. Despite their quarterback struggling 00:04:45.509 --> 00:04:48.970 and their star receiver leaving on a card, Houston's 00:04:48.970 --> 00:04:51.970 defense excelled, marking the franchise's first 00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:55.910 road playoff victory. Aaron Rodgers, facing relentless 00:04:55.910 --> 00:05:00.509 pressure, threw for only 146 yards, with the 00:05:00.509 --> 00:05:03.310 Steelers suffering their ninth consecutive postseason 00:05:03.310 --> 00:05:09.009 loss. CJ Stroud managed 250 yards, but struggled 00:05:09.009 --> 00:05:11.600 with turnovers. while Christian Kirk excelled 00:05:11.600 --> 00:05:16.759 with 144 yards on eight receptions. As the offseason 00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:19.579 approaches, uncertainty looms for the Steelers 00:05:19.579 --> 00:05:25.139 and Rodgers, who may not return in 2026. In local 00:05:25.139 --> 00:05:29.879 sports, Mecky Bekden has openly criticized Chargers 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:33.379 offensive coordinator Greg Roman following a 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.019 disappointing playoff loss where the team only 00:05:36.019 --> 00:05:40.399 scored three points. Chargers fans are understandably 00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.399 frustrated with Roman's performance, and Bekton, 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:46.680 who signed a two -year contract worth $20 million 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:50.120 after winning a Super Bowl with the Eagles, is 00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:53.519 no exception. He struggled throughout the season 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:56.079 in Los Angeles, lacking the performance that 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:59.740 made him stand out the year before. Bekton's 00:05:59.740 --> 00:06:02.920 remarks suggest discontent within the team, raising 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:05.899 questions about the future direction as the Chargers 00:06:05.899 --> 00:06:09.519 enter a crucial offseason. Trouble seems to be 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:11.959 brewing in an organization that should be on 00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:18.240 the rise. In top news, America is trying to determine 00:06:18.240 --> 00:06:22.120 if it has hit Keek Pizza. Once the second most 00:06:22.120 --> 00:06:24.339 common restaurant type in the United States, 00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:27.220 pizzerias are now outnumbered by coffee shops 00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:31.540 and Mexican food eateries. According to industry 00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:34.579 data, Sales growth at pizza restaurants has failed 00:06:34.579 --> 00:06:37.199 to keep pace with the broader fast food market 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:42.220 for years. Ravi Thanwala, chief financial officer 00:06:42.220 --> 00:06:45.699 and North America president at Papa John's International 00:06:45.699 --> 00:06:50.639 stated, pizza is disrupted right now. Major chains 00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:53.639 like Pizza Hut and Papa John's are considering 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:56.579 strategic changes, including potential sales 00:06:56.579 --> 00:07:00.079 amid increasing competition and evolving consumer 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:04.329 preferences. PISA still generates around $31 00:07:04.329 --> 00:07:07.850 billion in sales, but its dominance in American 00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:13.149 dining is fading. In business news, the Justice 00:07:13.149 --> 00:07:15.310 Department has threatened the Federal Reserve 00:07:15.310 --> 00:07:18.230 with a criminal indictment over testimony from 00:07:18.230 --> 00:07:21.149 Fed Chair Jerome Powell regarding renovations, 00:07:21.589 --> 00:07:24.540 Powell revealed over the weekend. This marks 00:07:24.540 --> 00:07:27.259 a significant escalation by the administration 00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:30.279 after President Donald Trump's efforts to exert 00:07:30.279 --> 00:07:33.259 more control over the independent institution. 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.259 Trump has criticized Powell for not cutting short 00:07:37.259 --> 00:07:39.660 -term interest rates and has even threatened 00:07:39.660 --> 00:07:43.459 to fire him. Powell described the threat of criminal 00:07:43.459 --> 00:07:47.139 charges as pretext aimed at undermining the Fed's 00:07:47.139 --> 00:07:50.680 independence. Investors are closely watching 00:07:50.680 --> 00:07:53.519 as an attempt to fire Powell could lead to falling 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.500 stock prices and higher borrowing costs across 00:07:56.500 --> 00:08:01.959 the economy. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:07.899 1 % to just over $91 ,000. Ethereum is down 2 00:08:07.899 --> 00:08:14.240 % to $3 ,000. And XRP is down 1 % to $2 .06. 00:08:15.990 --> 00:08:20.910 Moving on to a more local vibe.

NASA launches a new mission to maximize 00:09:11.809 --> 00:09:15.009 the capabilities of the James Webb Space Telescope. 00:09:16.070 --> 00:09:19.350 The James Webb Space Telescope, launched in 2021 00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:23.789 at a cost of more than $10 billion, aims to identify 00:09:23.789 --> 00:09:27.289 potentially habitable worlds around distant stars. 00:09:28.149 --> 00:09:31.129 Vandora, a smaller satellite, launched early 00:09:31.129 --> 00:09:34.190 Sunday from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California 00:09:34.190 --> 00:09:38.429 with a budget of $20 million. It will help scientists 00:09:38.429 --> 00:09:41.529 better analyze exoplanets and their atmospheres, 00:09:41.909 --> 00:09:44.710 correcting measurements affected by stellar signals. 00:09:45.669 --> 00:09:48.509 Pandora will observe 20 selected exoplanets, 00:09:48.830 --> 00:09:51.710 collecting valuable data to enhance our understanding 00:09:51.710 --> 00:09:59.269 of life beyond Earth. Entertainment news. This 00:09:59.269 --> 00:10:02.470 actor just dethroned Scarlett Johansson as the 00:10:02.470 --> 00:10:04.870 highest -grossing movie star at the box office. 00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:09.279 Zoe Saldana now sits atop the list of highest 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:12.220 -grossing actors with a massive total of nearly 00:10:12.220 --> 00:10:17.299 $17 billion at the worldwide box office. Scarlett 00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:20.039 Johansson's reign at the box office is over for 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:24.919 now. The latest film in the Avatar series, Avatar, 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:28.600 Fire and Ash, officially crossed $1 billion, 00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:33.240 $200 million as of January 12th. But Johansson 00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.220 now holds the second position with 16 .4 billion. 00:10:38.659 --> 00:10:41.600 Well, all righty folks, it's time for the quote 00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:45.679 of the day. And today, our quote comes from the 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.899 American author and motivational speaker, Sig 00:10:48.899 --> 00:10:52.960 Ziegler. And he said, success means doing the 00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.019 best we can with what we have. Success is the 00:10:56.019 --> 00:10:59.360 doing, not the getting, and the trying, not the 00:10:59.360 --> 00:11:02.909 triumph. Success is a personal standard, reaching 00:11:02.909 --> 00:11:05.830 for the highest that is in us, becoming all that 00:11:05.830 --> 00:11:09.850 we can be.
