  to you by Versailles Café and Pastries in Encinitas,
• 2:14
  nestled on El Camino Real South. Just north of

• 2:32
  to get your morning coffee. They are open every
• 2:36
  day from 8 to 5. So stop on by and don't forget
• 2:40
  to tell them. Sunny Morning sends you. In local
• 2:45
  news. One of the Franklin Park Zoo's best -known
• 2:49
  gorillas is moving to a new home. Little Joe,
• 2:53
  a 33 -year -old western lowland gorilla, will
• 2:56
  transfer to another zoo in the coming months
• 2:59
  as part of a coordinated plan to protect gorillas
• 3:02
  and ensure the species' survival. Stephanie Brinley,
• 3:07
  the president and chief executive officer of
• 3:10
  Zoo New England, stated this news is bittersweet
• 3:13
  to share. as we will all miss little Joe, but
• 3:17
  we are also excited for this opportunity for
• 3:19
  him to lead his own troop. Western lowland gorillas,
• 3:24
  native to the western areas of Central Africa,
• 3:26
  are critically endangered in the wild. Now on
• 3:35
  to sports. The San Antonio Spurs, a potential
• 3:39
  NBA title contender, are now in trouble after
• 3:42
  an injury to Victor Wembenyama and a fourth -quarter
• 3:46
  collapse in a Game 2 loss. Led by Scoot Henderson,
• 3:50
  who led all scorers with 31 points, the Portland
• 3:53
  Trail Blazers beat the Spurs 106 -103, tying
• 3:58
  their first -round series at 1 -1. San Antonio
• 4:03
  led by 14 points with less than 10 minutes remaining,
• 4:06
  but without Wembenyama... the Spurs allowed the
• 4:09
  Trail Blazers to finish the game on a 27 -10
• 4:13
  run. Game 3 is Friday night in Portland, with
• 4:17
  Wembyn Yama's status uncertain. In local sports,
• 4:21
  the Red Sox get their shot at redemption tonight
• 4:24
  against the Yankees at Fenway. After dropping
• 4:28
  yesterday's opener 5 -3, a shutout on just two
• 4:32
  hits, Boston is desperate for a response. Rangers
• 4:37
  Suarez takes the mound against Max Fried at 645,
• 4:41
  and the Sox can't afford to go down two games
• 4:43
  to nothing at home. They're 9 -14 on the year
• 4:47
  and need this one badly. Over on the ice, the
• 4:52
  Bruins are heading home for Game 3 tonight at
• 4:55
  TD Garden, and this one is massive. Boston is
• 5:00
  tied with Buffalo at one game apiece after taking
• 5:03
  Game 2. But they've got to tighten up defensively.
• 5:06
  That third -period collapse in Game 1 still stings.
• 5:10
  Pasternak led the league with 100 points in the
• 5:13
  regular season, and Jeremy Swayman has been rock
• 5:17
  -solid in net. The Garden should be electric.
• 5:21
  Meanwhile, the Celtics head to Philadelphia,
• 5:23
  Friday night down one game in their series with
• 5:26
  the 76ers, after last night's 14 -point loss
• 5:30
  at the Garden. Jalen Brown had 36 points, but
• 5:34
  it wasn't enough. Boston shot just 26 % from
• 5:38
  three, while Philly buried 48 % from deep. That's
• 5:43
  the series right there. On the gridiron, the
• 5:46
  Patriots signed fullback Jack Westover to keep
• 5:49
  continuity up front. And Drake May is returning
• 5:52
  for the off -season program, starting Monday
• 5:55
  with the draft just days away. In top news. Texas
• 6:02
  can enforce a state law requiring public schools
• 6:05
  to display posters of the Ten Commandments in
• 6:08
  classrooms, a federal appeals court ruled on
• 6:11
  Tuesday. A majority of the Fifth U .S. Circuit
• 6:14
  Court of Appeals ruled in favor of Texas officials,
• 6:18
  concluding that the law does not establish an
• 6:20
  official state religion. The ruling stated, it
• 6:24
  does not tell churches or synagogues or mosques
• 6:27
  what to believe or how to worship or whom to
• 6:30
  employ as priests, rabbis, or imams. The court
• 6:34
  heard arguments in January after 16 families
• 6:37
  sued over the law, alleging it promotes one interpretation
• 6:40
  of Christianity over others. All 17 active judges
• 6:44
  on the court listened to the case, alongside
• 6:47
  a similar challenge in Louisiana. In business
• 6:51
  news. T -Mobile is limiting a long -time perk
• 6:55
  it has advertised for years, despite facing elevated
• 6:59
  customer losses. This move is part of a broader
• 7:02
  series of changes to its customer perks and benefits
• 7:05
  in recent months. Shortly after T -Mobile appointed
• 7:09
  Srini Gopalan as its chief executive officer
• 7:13
  in November last year, it began notifying customers
• 7:16
  about the end of its jump. On -demand program
• 7:20

• 7:23
  upgrade their phones every 30 days. Additionally,
• 7:27
  it will start charging a monthly fee of $3 for
• 7:30
  its Apple TV on Usperk, which have been free
• 7:33
  since 2021. This change went into effect on January
• 7:38
  1st. In crypto movement, Bitcoin is up 2 .5 %
• 7:44
  to about $78 ,000. Ethereum is up 3%. to about
• 7:50
  $2 ,000. And XRP is up 1%, to $1 .45. Moving

• 9:03
  compete with market leaders like Anthropic. A

  report revealed that Sergey Brin directed Google's
• 9:09
  Strike Team to accelerate its agentic AI tools,
• 9:13
  while Sam Altman declared a code red. at OpenAI

  last year. The New York Times reported on the

• 10:19
  -bending move that showrunner Jess Brownell felt
• 10:22
  was natural. Well, alrighty folks, it's time
• 10:27
  for the quote of the day. And today, our quote
• 10:30
  comes from the American environmentalist and
• 10:33
  author, Edward Abbey. And he said, Wilderness
• 10:38
  is not a luxury, but a necessity of the human
• 10:41
  spirit and as vital to our lives as water and
• 10:44
  good bread. And that's a wrap for this morning.
