Good morning, and a warm welcome to your show,
Sunny Mornings in Encinitas. I'm your host, Melissa,
and it's Tuesday, February 10th. You'll be interested
to know. 30 years ago, today, in 1996, a purpose
-built computer called Deep Blue beat the reigning
world chess champion, Garry Kasparov, in a match,
marking a landmark artificial intelligence victory.
This achievement showed that specialized computing
systems could outperform human expertise in strategic
reasoning and inspired broader investment in
research in machine learning and intelligence
systems. So now you know. And now, it's time
for the Surf Report. Tuesday in Encinita. This
morning it's looking fair with waves around 3
to 5 feet. Conditions hold steady until about
10 a .m. when they become choppy as winds pick
up to 7 miles per hour. By noon, expect continued
choppy conditions with winds increasing to 10
miles per hour. Best time to ride is at 7 a .m.
with the 3 -foot outgoing mid -tide when the
west swell is 3 feet at 14 seconds and the side
-shore wind is 5 miles per hour. The first low
tide on Tuesday will be a half foot just before
noon followed by a zero foot low tide just after
1230. The near shore buoy at Beacons reads 64
degrees for the water temperature. Wednesday
features waves around three to four feet with
choppy conditions early but fair later in the
day. Thursday sees a slight decrease in size
to two to four feet. with clean conditions in
the morning giving way to choppy surf by afternoon.
Riding remains consistent at 2 plus feet with
clean conditions early but choppy waves develop
later on. This morning there's patchy fog and
it feels like 60 degrees with 5 mile per hour
wind. The sunset will take place at 5 .30 and
it will rise again tomorrow at 6 .37. It looks
a grin for some patchy fog early, lifting by
mid -morning, then a slight chance of rain showers
later with cloudy skies and a high near 64, plus
a light south wind around 10. Tonight, expect
cloudy conditions with likely rain showers, a
low of 58, and a south wind blowing at about
15. Looking ahead in the weather. Wednesday will
be mostly cloudy, with rain showers likely, highs
near 62, and a southwest wind of 5 to 15 miles
per hour, with only a few tenths of an inch of
rain expected. A slight chance of showers lingers
Wednesday night and again Thursday afternoon
and night, with lows around 53. Then Friday and
Saturday turn mostly sunny, with highs around
62. Bonjour, food enthusiasts! This podcast is

facing a growing strike as hundreds of healthcare
workers, including pharmacists and laboratory
workers, joined nurses from the United Nurses
Associations of California, Union of Healthcare
Professionals, protesting what they call bad
faith bargaining and unfair labor practices.
The strike now in its third week highlights accusations
of staffing shortages and patient care delays.
Kaiser reports that more employees are opting
to return to work despite union pressures, stating,
employees who want to return to care for patients
should not face any level of intimidation from
their unions. The company offered a 21 .5 % wage
increase but claims the union's demands could
raise payroll costs by $3 billion annually. Caregivers
are urging Kaiser to return to the bargaining
table to prioritize safe staffing and patient
care. Now on to sports. Team USA curling has
advanced to the mixed doubles gold medal game
after a stunning upset over the defending champions.
Corey Thies and Corey Drakken finished the round
robin session with a record of six wins and three
losses, making history as the first American
mixed doubles team to reach the medal round since
the discipline was introduced in the Winter Olympics
in 2018. In the semifinal, they faced Stefania
Constantini and Amos Mosaner from Team Italy,
the 2022 gold medalist. After a nail -biting
match, Team USA won 9 -8, thanks to a clutch

High School, has become a local legend, with
his jerseys displayed at the school. John Carney,
former kicker for the Chargers, praised Myers'
achievement, stating it ranks among the best
playoff performances ever by a kicker. Additionally,
Myers set the NFL record for total points in
a single season, scoring 206 points this year.
In top news, protein shakes are widely available
and often marketed as convenient meal alternatives,
which may leave you wondering whether you can
have protein shakes instead of meals. Replacing
meals with protein shakes can affect your body
in different ways, depending on the shake's nutrient
content. Most commercial protein shakes provide
20 to 30 grams of protein per serving. Protein
shakes provide a quick, easy way to consume protein,
making it easier to increase overall protein
intake. When a protein shake replaces a meal,
consider which nutrients may be missing. In most
cases, protein shakes work best as a supplement,
rather than a routine replacement for whole meals.
In business news, Elon Musk says that SpaceX
will prioritize the establishment of a self -growing
city on the moon instead of a colony on Mars.
This decision marks a significant shift in Musk's
space exploration ambitions. In a post on his
social media platform X, Musk stated that a lunar
city could be built within the next decade. He
emphasized that the mission of SpaceX remains
the same. to extend consciousness and life as
we know it to the stars. Musk indicated that
SpaceX would resume a Mars efforts in the next
five to seven years, but building on the moon
would be more efficient. In crypto movement,
Bitcoin is down 9 % to about $70 ,000. Ethereum
is down 8 % to just over 2 ,000. And XRP is down
10%. to $1 .45. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk science. Ripples in spacetime
from a pair of merging black holes have been
recorded in unprecedented detail, enabling physicists
to test predictions of general relativity. The
loudest collision ever recorded has allowed scientists
to confirm that Einstein's theory is correct.
In 2025, an international collaboration detected
a powerful ripple produced by this merger. The
detectors are more sensitive than when LIGO made
its first detection in 2016. Researchers tested
Stephen Hawking's theorem and found it to be
correct with nearly 100 % confidence. Kief Mittman
and colleagues further tested whether the merger
conforms with Einstein's general relativity.
They found that the measured frequencies matched
closely with Einstein's predictions. Entertainment
news. YouTube TV is introducing lower -priced
sports and news packages. The Google loan pay
TV service announced on Monday that it will roll
out more than 10 plans priced below a full YouTube
TV subscription, which offers more than 100 channels.
This introduction responds to growing consumer
frustration over rising costs, as the service
currently costs $82 a month. The sports plan
will be available this fall for $64 a month,
offering four broadcast networks that carry the
NFL, along with various sports channels. New
subscribers will receive an introductory rate
of $54 a month. Well, all righty, folks. It's
time for the quote of the day. And today, our
quote comes from the American computer scientist
and pioneer of artificial intelligence, Marvin
Minsky. And he said, the question is not whether
intelligent machines can have any emotions, but
whether machines can be intelligent without any
emotions. And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and
TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with
