IN JUST A FEW MINUTES, WE WILL HEAR EXPERT ADVICE ON HOW STUDENTS CAN EASE NEW SCHOOL YEAR JITTERS.

>>> WE ARE CONTINUING WITH THE TREND OF WARM AND HUMID.

AS WE HEAD TO MID-AUGUST THIS WEEK, LOW 70s, HUMIDITY IS THERE, BUT CHANGES FOR SOME.

I WILL BREAK DOWN WHAT TO EXPECT COMING UP.

>>> RISING TEMPERATURES IN NORTH COUNTY ARE NOT KEEPING PEOPLE AWAY FROM SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS.

OUR MEDIA PARTNER CHECKED IN WITH THE OWNER OF A FRENCH BAKERY IN SAN MARCOS.

HE SAID CUSTOMERS ARE ENJOYING HIS BAKED GOODS OUTSIDE.

>> AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S NOBODY INSIDE.

EVERYBODY ENJOYS THE HEAT OF SAN DIEGO, BUT WE HAVE THESE BEAUTIFUL AWNINGS THAT CAN CREATE SOME SOFTER, COOLER ENVIRONMENT, AND A LITTLE BREEZE AS YOU CAN FEEL, AND I THINK THAT THE HEAT DOESN'T REFRAIN PEOPLE FROM COMING TO ENJOY THE ICED LATTE ON THE MORNING.

>>> BUDGET CUTS FORCED THE CLOSURE OF BATHROOMS AROUND MISSION BAY.

THIS WEEK'S EDITION OF WHY IT MATTERS.

SCOTT LEWIS EXPLAINS WHY THERE'S PLENTY OF MONEY TO FUND NEW PROJECTS NEAR THE WATER.

>> Reporter: RICHARD BAILEY, A CANDIDATE FOR THE CITY COUNCIL SEAT RECENTLY MADE A VIDEO ABOUT HOW ODD IT WAS THE CITY CLOSED A RESTROOM IT JUST BUILD.

SPENDING TAX DOLLARS WITH NO PLAN TO FUND THE MAINTENANCE IS UNFORTUNATELY A PLAN AT CITY HALL.

>> A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE UPSET ABOUT THE RESTROOM CLOSURES AT MISSION BAY, BUT AT THE SAME TIME, THERE'S A TON OF NEW CONSTRUCTION FOR FACILITIES AT THE PARK, NEW BATHROOMS, PARKING LOTS, BASKETBALL COURTS, AND MORE.

HOW IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE CITY THAT CAN'T KEEP BATHROOMS OPEN IS ALSO BUILDING SO MANY NEW THINGS?

IT'S BECAUSE OF A BALLOT MEASURE VOTERS APPROVED 18 YEARS AGO CALLED PROPOSITION C IN 2008.

IT'S HAVING A MAJOR IMPACT ON ONE OF THE REGION'S LARGEST PARKS.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS.

THE CITY OWNS THE LAND AROUND MISSION BAY.

ALL OF THE HOTELS, SEA WORLD, AND OTHER COMMERCIAL ENTITIES THERE HAVELEASES AND PAY RENT.

THE FIRST $20 MILLION GOES TO THE GENERAL FUND.

75% OF ANYTHING ABOVE THAT IS PUT INTO THE MISSION BAY PARK IMPROVEMENT FUND, AND THAT'S CREATED A LOT OF NEW MONEY FOR ALL KINDS OF PROJECTS FROM ROB FIELD AND THE OCEAN BEACH TO THE NORTH PART OF THE PARK.

THAT MONEY CAN ONLY BE USED TO BUILD THINGS.

THE CITY COUNCIL AND MAYOR DECIDED THEY COULDN'T AFFORD TO KEEP THEM OPEN.

I'M SCOTT LEWIS FOR VOICE SAN DIEGO, AND THAT'S WHY IT MATTERS.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP IS OFFERING A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON HIS VIEW OF WHERE TALKS WITH IRAN STAND, AND IT COMES AS IRAN IS ISSUING NEW CONDITIONS IT WANTS THE U.S.

TO MEET TO REOPEN THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ.

MADDIE GANNON WITH THE LATEST FROM THE WHITE HOUSE.

>> WE ARE STARTING A NEW WEEK WITH FRESH INSIGHT INTO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S THINKING ABOUT THE CONFLICT.

IN A BRIEF PHONE INTERVIEW ON SUNDAY, TRUMP DESCRIBED HOW THE U.S.

WAS APPROACHING THE NEARLY SIX-MONTH-OLD WAR AS LOW KEYING IT.

HE ADDED THE U.S.

WAS ONLY SEMINEGOTIATING WITH THE IRANIANS AND TALKED ABOUT INCREASING ECONOMIC PRESSURE ON THE COUNTRY.

THAT MARKED A SHIFT FROM WHAT WE HEARD FROM THE PRESIDENT LAST WEEK WHEN HE INSISTED TALKS WERE TAKING PLACE.

THE IRANIANS HAVE BEEN PUSHING BACK ON THE IDEA THAT ANY DIRECT TALKS BETWEEN THE U.S.

AND IRAN WERE ONGOING AND CONTINUED TO DO SO OVER THE WEEKEND.

IRAN ISSUED A FRESH LIST OF DEMANDS IT WANTS TO SEE FROM THE U.S.

IN ORDER FOR THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ TO BE FULLY REOPENED, INCLUDING AN END TO THE WAR, THE U.S.

ENDING THE NAVAL BLOCKADE ON IRANIAN PORTS, REMOVING FORCES FROM THE AREA AROUND IRAN, AND THE U.S.

COMPENSATING IRAN FOR WAR DAMAGES.

WE SHOULD NOTE THE IRANIAN OFFICIAL WHO LAID OUT THE NEW LIST OF DEMANDS WAS REPLACED BY IRAN'S SUPREME LEADER ON SUNDAY.

IN AN INTERVIEW WITH CNN IN JUNE, THE NEW OFFICIAL WARNED IRAN COULD EXPAND THE WAR.

MEANWHILE WE ARE GETTING NEW INFORMATION ABOUT CONCERNS OVER THE STOCKPILE OF WEAPONS IN THE U.S.

WE LEARNED OVER THE WEEKEND THAT THE PENTAGON LAST WEEK SENT A MEMO TO DEFENSE CONTRACTORS GIVING THEM 21 DAYS TO COME UP WITH A PLAN TO INCREASE PRODUCTION OF WEAPONS.

AT THE WHITE HOUSE, I'M MADDIE GANNON.

>>> CHECK YOUR FRIDGE AND PANTRY, A FRESH ROUND OF BACTERIA WARNINGS TO START THE WEEK.

EXPLAINING HOW THIS SUMMER HAS BEEN SO DANGEROUS FROM THE SALAD BAR TO THE BEACH.

>> MORE THAN A DOZEN TAYLOR FARMS PRODUCTS AND SOLD AT MAJOR RETAILERS ARE BEING RECALLED BECAUSE THEY INCLUDE JALAPENO PEPPERS THAT MAY BE CONTAMINATED >> CHECK YOUR REFRIGERATOR AND FREEZER AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OF THE RECALLED PRODUCT AND BE INFORMED OF THE RISK.

>> CONSUMERS ARE URGED TO DISCARD THE PRODUCTS IMMEDIATELY.

REFUNDS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE POINT OF PURCHASE.

THE COMPANY SAYS IT'S NO LONGER SOURCING FOOD FROM THE COMPANY THE PRODUCTS CAME FROM.

THE LATEST RECALL COMES AMID THE ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE MULTISTATE OUTBREAK.

THE DIRECTOR OF THE INSTITUTE FOR FOOD SAFETY AND NUTRITION SECURITY AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY SAYS SUMMER IS PRIME SEASON FOR THESE CONCERNS.

>> THESE PATHOGENS A PARASITE OR BACTERIA LIKE HOT, HUMID WEATHER.

WE HAVE OUR SEASON, AND WE ARE IN THAT RIGHT NOW.

>> Reporter: IT'S TOUGH TO TELL WHY THIS SUMMER HAS SEEN SO MANY OF THE HEADLINES.

>> IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME BACKWARDS INVESTIGATIONS ONCE THE OUTBREAKS AND THE SEASON IS DONE TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS GOING ON.

>> Reporter: MEANWHILE IN LOUISIANA, HEALTH OFFICIALS ARE WARNING BEACH GOERS ABOUT A FLESH-EATING BACTERIA FOUND IN COASTAL WATERS THAT HAS SEEN AN UPTICK IN CASES THIS SUMMER AND KILLED AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE.

EATING RAW OR UNDERCOOKED SHELLFISH FROM THOSE WATERS CAN ALSO LEAD TO INFECTION.

>>> A SAN DIEGO COUNTY RESIDENT WHO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH M POX LIKELY CONTRACTED THE VIRUS INTERNATIONALLY.

COUNTY HEALTH OFFICIALS MADE THE ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY SAYING THEY ARE MONITORING PEOPLE KNOWN TO HAVE HAD CONTACT WITH THAT PERSON.

WHILE RISK TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC REMAINS VERY LOW, ANYONE WHO DEVELOPS MPOX-LIKE SYMPTOMS ESPECIALLY AFTER TRAVELING SHOULD CONTACT THEIR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER INCLUDING RASH, FEVER, SWOLLEN LYMPH NODES.

>>> A NEW SCHOOL YEAR CAN BE STRESSFUL FOR SOME STUDENTS.

MANDY GAITHER TALKS ABOUT HOW TO EASE THE ANXIETY OF A NEW SCHOOL YEAR.

>> NEW SCHOOL YEAR WITH NEW SUPPLIES, NEW TEACHER, NEW CLASSMATES, AND UNKNOWN.

IF YOUR STUDENT IS FEELING ANXIETY, THAT'S NORMAL.

JODY BAUMSTEEN SAYS STARTING SOMETHING NEW CAN BE STRESSFUL FOR ANY STUDENT, WHETHER THEY ARE HEADED TO SCHOOL FOR THE FIRST TIME, OR GOING OFF TO COLLEGE, BUT PARENTS CAN HELP EASE THEIR CHILDREN INTO THE NEW YEAR.

>> ONE THING THAT IS REALLY HELPFUL IS PRACTICING COPING SKILLS BEFORE THE CHILD NEEDS IT.

>> Reporter: TO TEACH CHILDREN HOW TO SLOW THEIR BODY DOWN, CLOSING THEIR EYES AND COUNTING TO TEN.

PLANTING THEIR FEET ON THE FLOOR, AND TAKING DEEP BREATHS CAN ALL HELP.

SHE SAYS TO ALSO FOCUS ON BREATHING BY HAVING A CHILD PUT A HAND ON THEIR STOMACH TO FEEL IT GO UP AND DOWN, OR FOR A YOUNG CHILD, HAVE THEM LIE ON THE FLOOR WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL ON THEIR ABDOMEN, ALLOWING THEM TO WATCH IT RISE AND FALL WITH EACH BREATH.

>> WE WANT THEM TO HAVE LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS IN THEIR TOOL KIT, SO IF THEY DO FEEL OVERWHELMED AT SCHOOL, THEY KNOW WHAT TO DO BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY PRACTICED.

>> Reporter: BAUMSTEEN SAYS PERHAPS THE BEST WAY TO TEACH THEM THE SKILLS IS TO LET THEM SEE HOW YOU DEAL WITH ANXIETY.

WHEN YOU HAVE SOMETHING STRESSFUL COME UP, TALK TO THEM ABOUT IT.

>> EXPLAIN WHAT YOU'RE FEELING AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO WITH THE FEELING TO PREPARE.

THAT'S HOW THEY LEARN.

>> Reporter: FOR HEALTH MINUTE, I'M MANDY GAITHER.

>> Reporter: RARE FLAGS FROM TIBET, A MARKER FROM THE SOUTH POLE, AND PHOTOS OF OLD ROCKET LAUNCHES, THESE ARE JUST A FEW OF MARK NEIMAN'S TREASURES.

>> THIS IS A METEORITE, THE CORE OF A PLANET.

>> Reporter: A SCIENTIST, HE STUDIES ISOTOPES.

MOST PEOPLE HAVE ONLY HEARD OF THEM IN CHEMISTRY CLASS, BUT SAMPLES COLLECTED FROM UNUSUAL PLACES.

>> THAT'S WHAT I REMEMBER, GOING OUT EVERY DAY, THOSE MILES ON THE SNOW MOBILE TO GET EVEN MORE REMOTE.

>> Reporter: HIS OFFICE IS MORE MUSEUM THAN WORKPLACE, ARCHIVES A DECADE LONG QUEST TO UNCOVER EARTH'S HIDDEN HISTORY.

THAT WORK IS BEING RECOGNIZED.

HE WON A PRIZE ONLY AWARDED 43 TIMES IN OVER 200 YEARS.

>> I THOUGHT, WHEN I GO THERE, I'M GOING TO GO AS FAST AS I CAN AND COLLECT THEM BEFORE THEY REALIZE THEY HAVE MADE A MISTAKE.

>> Reporter: MEMBERS FROM THE AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY NOMINATED HIS WORK.

THE PRIZE AWARDS SCIENTISTS WHO FUNDAMENTALLY SHIFT OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THE NORMAL WORLD.

WINNING THE AWARD IS HUMBLING.

>> THE REAL JOY IS DOING THE STUFF.

>> Reporter: ISOTOPES ARE NATURE'S WAY OF LEAVING BEHIND A CHEMICAL FINGERPRINT.

>> IT WAS COLONEL MUSTARD IN THE KITCHEN WITH THE PIPE WRENCH, YOU KNOW, YOU CAN DO THAT SORT OF THING WITH IT BECAUSE OF THE IDENTITY.

>> Reporter: IN THE '80s HE DISCOVERED A WAY TO MEASURE THEM IN METEORITES.

THE TECHNIQUE EXPLAINED THAT ROCKY PLANETS LIKE EARTH AREN'T ACTUALLY FORMED THIS WAY.

FOR SOME SMALL BUSINESSES IN SUMMER TOURISM SPOTS, RAIN OR STORMY ICONS ARE HURTING THEIR BOTTOM LINE.

>> YOU KNOW THAT YOUR DAY IS DEPENDENT ON WHAT THAT FORECAST SAYS.

>> Reporter: SINCE 2012, THE BROOKLYN BEACH SHOP AS CALLED THE CONEY ISLAND BOARD WALK HOME.

ALONG WITH RUNNING THE SHOP, THE DAY-TO-DAY RESOLVES AROUND THE FORECAST.

>> THE SAME FOR ANY BEACH TOWN OR ANY AREA HEAVILY RELIANT ON THE FORECAST, AND I SAY ON THE FORECAST, I DON'T SAY ON THE WEATHER.

>> Reporter: WHEN WE STOPPED BY, THE FORECAST SHOWED RAIN, BUT OUTSIDE WAS NOTHING BUT SUN, AND ON THE HOUR-BY-HOUR FORECAST, THE CHANCE OF RAIN DOESN'T APPEAR UNTIL THE EVENING.

DID YOU EVER IMAGINE THAT YOUR DAY TO DAY WOULD BE DICTATED BY AN EMOJI?

>> NO.

NO.

I THOUGHT IT WAS ACTUAL WEATHER AND IF SCHOOL IS OUT.

>> OFTEN IT JUST TAKES CLICKING ON THAT APP AND DIGGING A LITTLE BENEATH THAT LITTLE ICON, AND THERE'S USUALLY MORE CONTEXT.

>> Reporter: DR.

MARSHALL SHEPPARD IS AN EXPERT IN THE FIELD AND SAYS PEOPLE HAVE BECOME RELIANT ON THEIR WEATHER APPS WITHOUT KNOWING HOW TO DIGEST THE DATA IN THEM.

>> WE ARE SEEING THIS DEGRADATION IN THE CONTEXT OF USE OF APPS EVEN THOUGH WE ARE PROBABLY IN ONE OF THE MOST ACCURATE PERIODS OF WEATHER FORECASTING AND TECHNOLOGY WE HAVE EVER SEEN.

>> Reporter: WEATHER APPS ARE GREAT TOOLS, BUT SHEPPARD SAYS THEY SHOULD BE PAIRED WITH EXPERTISE FOR TRAINED METEOROLOGISTS.

MILLER WISHES IT WAS A DIFFERENT STORY.

>> SHOW THREE ICONS, EARLY MORNING, DAY, AND NIGHT.

>> Reporter: IN NEW YORK, I'M LEE WALTMAN.

>>> WE WILL SEE A LITTLE BIT OF A COOLING TREND FOR SOME THIS WEEK, NOT EVERYBODY GETS IN ON IT, UNFORTUNATELY, BUT SOME MORE NEGATIVE EFFECTS HERE.

MORE MINOR FLOODING ALONG THE COAST, AND IT'S GOING TO BE MINOR, BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU IN THE LOW-LYING AREA ALONG THE COAST, YOU WANT TO BE READY FOR THIS.

WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE TIMELINE IN A MINUTE, AND THEN THE COAST IS THE GOOD AND THE BAD OF THIS FORECAST.

FOR THE MOST PART, YOU HAVE THE MORNING LOW CLOUDS, FOG, NO STRANGER THERE.

THAT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO HELP OUT WITH OUR TEMPERATURES OVERALL.

BEFORE WE TALK ABOUT THE COASTAL FLOODING, HERE'S WHERE THE ADVISORIES ARE IN EFFECT.

THIS IS UNTIL 11:00 WEDNESDAY.

SO KEEP AN EYE ON HIGH TIDE EACH DAY OR A LITTLE BIT OF FLOODING.

OVERALL TONIGHT, 62 FOR MOUNT LAGUNA.

OCEANSIDE TO TO -- UP INTO THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS, INTO THE DESERTS AS WELL, THAT'S WHERE WE TEND TO SEE IT WITH THE MONOZOOAL MOISTURE MOVING IN AROUND THE HIGH PRESSURE IMPACTING SOME OF US A LITTLE FURTHER TO THE EAST.

SO JUST A HEADS UP THAT YOU MAY SEE A FEW RAINDROPS, A COUPLE OF RUMBLES OF THUNDER, LIGHTNING, NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION.

I WANT YOU TO BE READY FOR THAT.

DOESN'T GET RID OF OUR TRIPLE DIGITS.

KNOCKS US DOWN, BUT WE WILL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET.

LOW 80s ALL ALONG THE COAST THERE.

THE NEXT FIVE DAYS, FIRST WITH THE COAST, THE COOLING I WAS TALKING ABOUT.

FRIDAY, 81 TO SATURDAY, 79, AND A FEW DEGREES, BUT WE WILL TAKE WHAT WE CAN GET.

AS WE HEAD FURTHER INLAND, WELL, IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF COOLING.

89 ON TUESDAY, COMPARED TO 85 ON WEDNESDAY, AND WE JUST STAY THERE IN THE MID-80s, AS WE GO THROUGH THE REST OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND, AND THE HUMIDITY IS STICKING WITH US, THOUGH, AND IT'S GOING TO FEEL A LITTLE STICKY AND HOTTER OUTSIDE COMPARED TO THE TEMPERATURE THAT YOU'RE SEEING HERE.

THERE'S THE RAIN CHANCES FOR THE MOUNTAIN REGIONS, IN THE 70s, AND BY THURSDAY, BACK INTO THE 60s.

DOESN'T LAST LONG.

IF YOU'RE WANTING THE COOLER WEATHER, TAKE IT AND ENJOY IT WHILE YOU CAN THURSDAY AND FRIDAY.

A SIMILAR SITUATION HEADED INTO THE DESERT.

AGAIN, THE RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCE, SHOULDN'T BE A LOT, BUT I WANT YOU TO BE READY.

MAYBE YOU WANT THE UMBRELLA OR AT LEAST HAVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS READY ON THE WAY OUT THE DOOR.

WE GET OUT OF THE TRIPLE DIGITS BY THE TIME WE GET TO THURSDAY.

THAT'S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE.

101 TO 99 DOESN'T FEEL MUCH DIFFERENT.

UP TO YOU, BUT AT LEAST IT'S NOT 110, AND THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND SATURDAY, IT'S NOT EVEN 100.

FOR KPBS NEWS.

THE TOROS HAVE THREE DANCE SQUADS.

THE CROSS BETWEEN CHEERLEADERS AND DANCERS, LOS TORITOS ACT AS HYPEMEN, REGULARLY PERFORMING SHIRTLESS, AND TORO BEATS BRINGS BREAK DANCING TO THE FIELD.

THE FANS ARE EXTRA LOUD.

AT THE END OF EVERY GAME, A BAND PLAYS, SO FOR THE PRICE OF A TICKET, YOU ALSO GET A FREE CONCERT.

JUST LIKE BANANA BALL, IT'S SUCH A SPECTACLE, IT CAN BE HARD TO WATCH THE GAME, WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE THE TOROS ARE A TOP TEAM.

[ SPEAKING IN GLOBAL LANGUAGE ] >> Reporter: THE PLAYOFFS RUN THROUGH MID-SEPTEMBER.

>> I LIKE THAT THEY HAVE SEVERAL FORMER MAJOR LEAGUERS ON THE TEAM.
