I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:14.000 and it's Thursday, November 13th. You'll be interested 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:20.480 to know. 40 years ago, today, in 1985, Nevado 00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:23.519 del Ruiz erupted, sending a towering column of 00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:26.800 ash and deadly lahars that overwhelmed towns 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.879 and revealed the sheer power of volcanic hazards. 00:00:30.699 --> 00:00:33.619 The tragedy spurred a global push for improved 00:00:33.619 --> 00:00:36.600 volcano monitoring and early warning systems, 00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.340 transforming disaster science and community preparedness 00:00:40.340 --> 00:00:46.340 into a vital priority. So now you know. And now, 00:00:46.659 --> 00:00:52.179 it's time for the weather report. This morning 00:00:52.179 --> 00:00:55.659 it's mostly sunny and it feels like 33 degrees, 00:00:55.899 --> 00:01:00.119 with 7 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take 00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.380 place at 422, and it will rise again tomorrow 00:01:03.380 --> 00:01:07.680 at 633. It looks like we're in for some mostly 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:10.620 cloudy skies today, with a slight chance of rain 00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:14.439 after 4 p .m. and a high near 50, along with 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:17.920 a gentle west wind at 7 to 12, gusting up to 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:22.980 22 tonight. A slight chance of rain is possible 00:01:22.980 --> 00:01:26.799 before 7 p .m., with partly cloudy skies and 00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:29.879 a low around 34. along with a light northwest 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:33.700 wind.

The nearshore buoy at 00:01:41.719 --> 00:01:45.840 Cape Cod Bay reads 53 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.799 Looking ahead in the weather, Friday stays mostly 00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:55.140 sunny with a high near 45 and a northwest wind 00:01:55.140 --> 00:01:58.280 around 10 miles per hour. then Friday night will 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:02.340 be mostly clear with a low near 30.

Bonjour, food enthusiasts! 00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:37.360 This podcast is brought to you by Versailles 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:41.259 Cafe and Pastries in Encinitas. Nestled on El 00:02:41.259 --> 00:02:44.900 Camino Real South, just north of Encinitas Boulevard, 00:02:45.400 --> 00:02:49.960 this cafe is a haven for culinary delights.

In local news, dozens 00:03:12.740 --> 00:03:15.300 of police departments in Massachusetts are now 00:03:15.300 --> 00:03:18.199 using Flock Safety's automated license plate 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.159 reader technology. which captures and records 00:03:21.159 --> 00:03:24.340 license plates and locations as cars pass by. 00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.099 This artificial intelligence system allows police 00:03:28.099 --> 00:03:31.020 to track motorists during criminal investigations, 00:03:31.520 --> 00:03:34.740 with Chief Legal Officer Dan Haley stating that 00:03:34.740 --> 00:03:37.360 the cameras capture information visible to the 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.879 public. Haley emphasized that data typically 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:44.080 remains on a server for about 30 days and is 00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:46.639 accessible by contracted police departments. 00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:50.439 The American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts 00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.280 is monitoring the technology due to concerns 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:56.240 over data sharing with numerous law enforcement 00:03:56.240 --> 00:04:00.159 agencies. Former Police Chief John Carmichael 00:04:00.159 --> 00:04:03.280 highlighted that this technology can aid in public 00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.800 safety, helping locate missing persons and alerting 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:14.939 law enforcement when necessary. Now onto sports. 00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:20.060 As Paul Skeens continually conjured magical starts 00:04:20.060 --> 00:04:23.000 this summer, Pittsburgh Pirates catchers Henry 00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:26.519 Davis and Joey Bart whispered about the Sai Yam 00:04:26.519 --> 00:04:30.399 Award. The celebration began when Skeens won 00:04:30.399 --> 00:04:33.620 the National League Award, earning all 30 first 00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:37.560 -place votes. Skeens is the second pitcher in 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.339 Major League Baseball history to win Rookie of 00:04:40.339 --> 00:04:43.360 the Year and Sai Yam in consecutive seasons. 00:04:43.980 --> 00:04:47.160 He led the majors in earned run average at 1 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:50.379 .97 and the National League in walks and hits 00:04:50.379 --> 00:04:56.180 per inning pitched at 0 .948. Skeens is the Pirates' 00:04:56.379 --> 00:04:59.360 third Cy Young winner, joining Verne Law and 00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:05.019 Dog Drebeck. In local sports, the Celtics crushed 00:05:05.019 --> 00:05:10.060 the Grizzlies, 131 -95, with five players in 00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:13.850 double figures. Boston registers its sixth win 00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:17.350 of the season. The Seas returned home to face 00:05:17.350 --> 00:05:20.670 off against the Grizzlies last night. Boston 00:05:20.670 --> 00:05:24.550 led all night, securing a big home win. Peyton 00:05:24.550 --> 00:05:27.829 Pritchard led the team in scoring with 24 points. 00:05:28.910 --> 00:05:31.990 Derek White contributed 20 points, while Jalen 00:05:31.990 --> 00:05:35.269 Brown added 19 points, six rebounds, and six 00:05:35.269 --> 00:05:38.970 assists. Jordan Walsh replaced Josh Menott in 00:05:38.970 --> 00:05:42.199 the starting lineup. and made an instant impact. 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.660 Boston will host the Los Angeles Clippers on 00:05:45.660 --> 00:05:49.139 Sunday at 3 .30 in the afternoon Eastern time. 00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:54.759 In top news, using your credit card at the checkout 00:05:54.759 --> 00:05:58.639 is set to get a lot more complicated. A settlement 00:05:58.639 --> 00:06:01.459 between Visa and MasterCard, along with U .S. 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:04.079 merchants, could lead to tiered pricing at the 00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:07.800 register. This agreement follows a two -decade 00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.839 antitrust battle over interchange fees, which 00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:12.939 banks collect from merchants for credit card 00:06:12.939 --> 00:06:16.639 transactions. If approved, merchants could charge 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.100 different fees based on credit card categories, 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.519 allowing for surcharges based on card type. However, 00:06:23.899 --> 00:06:26.519 analysts warned that adding fees might alienate 00:06:26.519 --> 00:06:29.300 customers, as many would switch payment methods 00:06:29.300 --> 00:06:33.670 to avoid surcharges. Despite changes, rewards 00:06:33.670 --> 00:06:38.910 programs are likely to remain intact. In business 00:06:38.910 --> 00:06:42.850 news, the decline of cable television just hit 00:06:42.850 --> 00:06:47.009 a major milestone. For years, the pay television 00:06:47.009 --> 00:06:50.810 business seemed to defy gravity. However, that 00:06:50.810 --> 00:06:53.810 is no longer the case, as the industry has been 00:06:53.810 --> 00:06:57.329 eroding for a decade. A recent estimate from 00:06:57.329 --> 00:07:00.819 Madison and Wall shows that 15 years ago, Nearly 00:07:00.819 --> 00:07:04.379 9 in 10 United States households had a paid television 00:07:04.379 --> 00:07:08.660 subscription, but by the end of 2025, that number 00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:12.860 will drop to 5 out of 10. This decline explains 00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:16.300 why companies like Comcast and Warner Bros. Discovery 00:07:16.300 --> 00:07:19.560 are trying to sell or spin off their cable television 00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.939 assets. Advertisers are also noticing that higher 00:07:23.939 --> 00:07:26.519 levels of audience reach can be found elsewhere. 00:07:27.899 --> 00:07:32.600 In crypto movement, Bitcoin is down 1 % to about 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:38.439 $102 ,000. Ethereum is up half a percent to just 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:47.180 under $3 ,500. And XRP is up 3 % to $2 .46. Moving 00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:51.500 on to a more local vibe. In our community spotlight 00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:54.420 on health and wellness, we are working with a 00:07:54.420 --> 00:07:57.220 national Pilates studio to bring you some free 00:07:57.220 --> 00:08:01.529 classes, so listen up.

And 00:08:31.689 --> 00:08:37.549 now, back to the show. Let's talk tech. Apple 00:08:37.549 --> 00:08:40.629 has launched a digital ID, which will be accepted 00:08:40.629 --> 00:08:43.110 by the Transportation Security Administration 00:08:43.110 --> 00:08:47.029 at checkpoints in more than 250 airports across 00:08:47.029 --> 00:08:50.450 the United States. This feature allows users 00:08:50.450 --> 00:08:53.669 to create and store an ID in Apple Wallet using 00:08:53.669 --> 00:08:58.059 their United States passport. Digital ID acceptance 00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:01.600 will roll out first at TSA checkpoints for domestic 00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:05.740 travel. Users can present their digital ID instead 00:09:05.740 --> 00:09:08.779 of a real ID using an iPhone or Apple Watch. 00:09:09.779 --> 00:09:12.440 However, it is not a replacement for a physical 00:09:12.440 --> 00:09:15.299 passport and cannot be used for international 00:09:15.299 --> 00:09:19.480 travel. To create a digital ID, users must scan 00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.320 their passport and take a selfie for verification. 00:09:23.629 --> 00:09:26.250 Apple assures that this feature is encrypted, 00:09:26.669 --> 00:09:32.309 safeguarding user data. And in entertainment 00:09:32.309 --> 00:09:36.009 news, Netflix wants to build a home for its fans 00:09:36.009 --> 00:09:40.009 at the mall.

This expansion taps into a market longing 00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:17.480 for in -person gatherings, capitalizing on nostalgia 00:10:17.480 --> 00:10:21.720 for traditional malls.
