In local news, San Diego is once again 00:03:57.409 --> 00:04:00.009 playing a crucial role in the deployment of the 00:04:00.009 --> 00:04:02.689 U .S. Navy's undersea submarine rescue vessel 00:04:02.689 --> 00:04:05.729 after it underwent final testing for certification 00:04:05.729 --> 00:04:09.110 in the waters near Naval Air Station North Island 00:04:09.110 --> 00:04:13.439 in Coronado. The U .S.

This rescue 00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:31.660 vessel is now ready to deploy worldwide within 00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:35.639 96 hours, capable of supporting U .S. and Allied 00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:39.259 rescue operations. The system can rescue up to 00:04:39.259 --> 00:04:42.610 16 people at a time, highlighting San Diego's 00:04:42.610 --> 00:04:51.069 vital contributions to naval safety. Now on to 00:04:51.069 --> 00:04:54.629 sports. In just over two weeks, Commissioner 00:04:54.629 --> 00:04:58.170 Roger Goodell is expected to commence the 2026 00:04:58.170 --> 00:05:00.389 National Football League draft in Pittsburgh 00:05:00.389 --> 00:05:02.829 by announcing that the Raiders are selecting 00:05:02.829 --> 00:05:06.009 Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the 00:05:06.009 --> 00:05:09.959 number one pick. Mendoza, however, is not expected 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:12.939 to be there to join Goodell on stage and pose 00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:16.519 with his new team jersey and cap. According to 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.040 Adam Schefter of ESPN, Mendoza has informed the 00:05:20.040 --> 00:05:22.180 National Football League that he will not be 00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:24.660 attending the draft in person because he plans 00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:27.120 to celebrate with his family in Miami instead. 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:30.480 Though many presumed number one picks choose 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:32.839 to attend the draft in person for the experience, 00:05:33.379 --> 00:05:36.120 Mendoza is far from the first stopped out of 00:05:36.120 --> 00:05:40.470 going to the event. In local sports, the Pirates 00:05:40.470 --> 00:05:44.149 topped the Padres 7 -1 on Tuesday night, with 00:05:44.149 --> 00:05:46.430 Paul Skeens delivering a strong performance, 00:05:46.790 --> 00:05:49.889 keeping San Diego hitless until the sixth inning. 00:05:50.709 --> 00:05:53.810 Skeens struck out six and walked two over six 00:05:53.810 --> 00:05:56.990 in one -third innings, lowering his earned run 00:05:56.990 --> 00:06:01.790 average to 5 .54. Fernando Tatis Jr. finally 00:06:01.790 --> 00:06:04.420 broke through with a single in the sixth. while 00:06:04.420 --> 00:06:07.459 Xander Gogarts hit the first home run off a Pirates 00:06:07.459 --> 00:06:10.759 starter this season in the seventh. O 'Neal Cruz 00:06:10.759 --> 00:06:14.000 and Nick Gonzalez drove in four runs in a five 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:16.819 -run eighth, as the Pirates secured their sixth 00:06:16.819 --> 00:06:20.420 win in seven games. The series concludes today 00:06:20.420 --> 00:06:23.800 starting at 9 .30 a .m., with Michael King starting 00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.160 for the Friars against Mitch Keller. In top news, 00:06:29.439 --> 00:06:33.939 surprising links between autism, and Alzheimer's 00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:37.379 could change how we treat both. The idea that 00:06:37.379 --> 00:06:39.800 two conditions at opposite ends of life might 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.439 be biologically linked is beginning to append 00:06:42.439 --> 00:06:45.060 long -standing assumptions in brain science. 00:06:45.819 --> 00:06:49.959 Joseph Fuchsbaum was initially unconvinced. When 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.199 early hints of a connection between autism and 00:06:52.199 --> 00:06:54.759 Alzheimer's began to appear in the medical literature 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:58.339 a few years ago, they struck him as implausible. 00:06:59.019 --> 00:07:02.060 But the signals kept accumulating, and over time, 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.220 His skepticism gave way to a new line of inquiry. 00:07:05.899 --> 00:07:09.279 I came to this kicking and screaming. I didn't 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.800 want to believe it, said Buxbaum. Autism has 00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.879 long been treated almost exclusively as a childhood 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:21.839 condition. In business news, the 60 -40 restaurant 00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:24.959 rule is breaking, and it is not because the food 00:07:24.959 --> 00:07:28.699 got worse. GLP -1 drugs have reduced millions 00:07:28.699 --> 00:07:31.529 of customers' appetites. But that is not the 00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:35.209 only culprit in the profit crunch. Many ancient 00:07:35.209 --> 00:07:37.709 rules in certain industries have outlived their 00:07:37.709 --> 00:07:40.949 value, such as spilling salt or whistling in 00:07:40.949 --> 00:07:44.110 the kitchen. Operators now view these beliefs 00:07:44.110 --> 00:07:48.149 as mere superstitions. However, no one in the 00:07:48.149 --> 00:07:50.490 food service industry has questioned the core 00:07:50.490 --> 00:07:53.269 proposition that a restaurant needs a ratio of 00:07:53.269 --> 00:07:57.230 60 % drinks to 40 % food to succeed long -term. 00:07:57.850 --> 00:08:03.160 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at $69 00:08:03.160 --> 00:08:09.199 ,000. Ethereum is down 1 % to just over $2 ,000. 00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:17.420 And XRP is down 1 % to $1 .32. Moving on to a 00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:21.819 more local vibe.

The partnership 00:09:32.149 --> 00:09:35.009 is a significant win for Intel, which has faced 00:09:35.009 --> 00:09:38.009 challenges in recent years, leading to cuts in 00:09:38.009 --> 00:09:41.789 production capacity. Last year, the Trump administration 00:09:41.789 --> 00:09:45.509 secured an equity stake in Intel for around $9 00:09:45.509 --> 00:09:49.809 billion. As of March 20, the U .S. government 00:09:49.809 --> 00:09:57.330 held 8 .4 % of Intel's outstanding shares. and 00:09:57.330 --> 00:10:00.789 in entertainment news.
