AND BY VIEWERS LIKE YOU.

THANK YOU.

>>> PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS IMPOSING 25% TARIFFS ON STEEL AND ALUMINUM IMPORTED BY THE UNITED STATES.

THANKS FOR JOINING US.

I'M MAYA TRABULSI.

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS THESE TARIFFS ARE LARGELY AIMED AT CHINA, THE WORLD'S LARGEST PRODUCER OF STEEL.

THE U.S. GETS MOST OF ITS STEAL FROM CANADA, BRAZIL, AND MEXICO.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT JULIA BAMBERG HAS MORE FROM THE WHITE HOUSE .

>> Reporter: WHILE SPEAKING WITH REPORTERS ON AIR FORCE ONE OVER THE WEEKEND, PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP LAID OUT SEVERAL NEW POLICY PLANS EXPECTED TO GO INTO EFFECT THIS WEEK, INCLUDING A 25% TARIFF ON IMPORTED STEEL AND ALUMINUM, A DECISION THAT COULD HAVE A BIG IMPACT ON INDUSTRIES LIKE AUTOMAKING, AEROSPACE, AND OIL PRODUCTION.

DURING TRUMP'S FIRST ADMINISTRATION, HE MADE A SIMILAR MOVE, AND OUNCE AND 25% TARIFFS ON STEEL AND 10% TARIFFS ON ALUMINUM.

HE DID LIFT THOSE ON MEXICO AND CANADA THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

SEPARATELY, TRUMP HAS SAID HE PLANS TO HOLD A NEWS CONFERENCE LATER THIS WEEK, LIKELY ON TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY, TO ANNOUNCE MASSIVE NEW RECIPROCAL TARIFFS, WHICH COULD MATCH OTHER COUNTRIES TARIFFS ON U.S. GOODS DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR.

>> VERY SIMPLY, IF THEY CHARGE US, WE CHARGE THEM.

THAT IS ALL.

>> WHEN DOES IT GO INTO EFFECT?

>> ALMOST IMMEDIATELY BUT I WILL BE ANNOUNCING THE DETAILS.

IT IS HIGHLY DETAILED.

IT WILL BE GREAT FOR EVERYBODY, INCLUDING THE OTHER COUNTRIES.

IF THEY ARE CHARGING US 130%, WE ARE CHARGING THEM NOTHING, IT IS NOT GOING TO STAY THAT WAY.

>> Reporter: THE PRESIDENT HAS NOT YET PROVIDED ANY DETAILS ABOUT HOW EXPENSIVE THE NEW TARIFFS WOULD BE OR WHEN THEY WILL GO INTO EFFECT.

THESE MOVES ARE IN ADDITION TO THE TARIFFS ON CHINESE GOODS TRUMP IMPLEMENTED LAST WEEK, WHICH LED CHINA TO RETALIATE WITH TARIFFS OF ITS OWN.

LOOMING OVER ALL OF IT ARE TARIFFS ON MEXICO AND CANADA.

TRUMP ANNOUNCED AT THE SAME TIME BUT DECIDED TO PASS THOSE TARIFFS AFTER SPEAKING WITH THEIR LEADERS.

REPORTING IN WASHINGTON, I'M JULIA BENBROOK.

>>> A TERRIFIC INCREASE ON STEEL AND ALUMINUM IS EXPECTED TO HIT MANY INDUSTRIES, INCLUDING SAID BUILDERS HERE IN SAN DIEGO.

OUR MEDIA PARTNER KGTV SPOKE WITH THE PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE SAN DIEGO MILITARY ADVISORY COUNCIL.

HE SAYS CONTRACT CHECKS THAT HAVE BEEN AWARDED WILL HAVE TO ABSORB THE COST BUT THAT WON'T BE THE CASE FOR FUTURE CONTRACT.

>> THE CONTRACTOR HAS TO COME UP WITH AN ESTIMATE, THEN THEY CAN FACTOR IN THE COST OF THE TARIFFS AND THE COST IMPACT WILL MOVE TO THE GOVERNMENT AND THE TAXPAYERS.

SO, THE TAXPAYER WILL END UP EATING THE COST.

I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF CHALLENGES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN THOUGHT THROUGH VERY WELL.

THAT WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT BOTH OUR COUNTRY AND OUR REGION.

>> GENERAL DYNAMICS DESIGNS AND BUILDS SHIPS FOR THE U.S. NAVY AND COMMERCIAL MARKETS.

>>> PRESIDENT TRUMP SAYS HE WANTS THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT TO STOP MAKING PENNIES, CITING THE RISING COST OF PRODUCING THE COINS.

IN 2023, THE U.S. MINT CIRCULATED MORE THAN 4 BILLION PENNIES.

LAST YEAR, THE MENTOR REPORTED COST MORE THAN 3.5 CENTS TO MINT AND DISTRIBUTE THE $0.01 COINS.

THE RISING COST OF ZINC AND COPPER ARE WAY IT HAS BEEN GETTING MORE EXTENSIVE.

>>> THE WORK WEEK IS STARTING OFF QUIET BUT IT WILL CHANGE AS WE MOVE THROUGH TIME BECAUSE WE ARE EXPECTED HEAVY RAINFALL THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND IT CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS WITH FLOODING OR MUDSLIDES.

THE BIGGEST BENEFIT WILL BE THE DEVOUT BELIEF WE ARE GOING TO GET.

I WILL HAVE MORE ON JUST HOW WET THINGS COULD TURN, IN A MOMENT.

>>> COSTCO AND TRADER JOE'S NOW HAVE LIMITS ON HOW MANY EGGS YOU CAN BUY AT THEIR STORES.

IT IS ANOTHER RESPONSE TO THE SHORTAGE CAUSED BY THE AVIAN FLU.

THE CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL SAYS MORE THAN 50 MILLION BIRDS HAVE BEEN AFFECTED SINCE NOVEMBER.

KPBS REPORTER MELISSA MAE SHOWS US HOW A LOCAL EGG FARM IS HANDLING THE SITUATION.

>> Reporter: IF YOU HAVE TRIED TO BUY EGGS LATELY, YOU MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED EMPTY SHELVES OR REALLY HIGH PRICES.

THAT HAS MEANT SOME CHANGES FOR NATALIE BARBER AND HER FAMILY.

>> WE DEFINITELY PULLBACK OUR CONSUMPTION.

IT WOULD BE 6 TO 8 EVERY SINGLE MORNING, THREE FOR ME, TWO FOR HIM AND PRAY FOR DAD, ANYWHERE IN BETWEEN THERE.

EVENTUALLY, WE WILL SCALE BACK WHAT WE HAVE TO EAT IF IT GETS TO THAT POINT.

>> Reporter: BUT, IT HAS BEEN BUSINESS AS USUAL IN LAKESIDE.

>> PRETTY GOOD, BEST DEAL IN TOWN .

>> Reporter: WITH ONE SMALL CHANGE.

>> THE WAY WE ARE KEEPING EGGS REASONABLE IS WE HAVE A LIMIT.

WE ARE NOT SELLING ANY MORE OUT THE DOOR THEN WE HAVE BEFORE WE HAD NO LIMIT.

HAVING THE LIMIT SPREADS THEM OUT.

THAT WAY I AM ABLE TO TAKE HER OF ALL OF MY WHOLESALE.

>> Reporter: A DOZEN EGGS COST BETWEEN $5.00 AND SIX DOLLARS RESENTS AND EGG FLATS WITH 20 EGGS ARE SOLD BETWEEN $7.00 AND $9.00.

HILLIKER'S RANCH'S PRESIDENT AND CEO SAYS THEIR HOME HOLDS 20,000 CHICKENS.

>> WE HAVE A BIG WASHER AND TICKET INSPECTED.

THEY DID WAIT AND MAKE IT BACK.

>> Reporter: HILLIKER'S RANCH SAYS OF BIRD FLU INFECTED THE FACILITY, IT WOULD BE DEVASTATING.

>> 100% OF THE CHICKENS WOULD GET SICK.

WE WOULD HAVE TO SHUT DOWN .

>> Reporter: THE EGG FARM HAS SUPPLEMENTED A FEW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO TRY TO PREVENT AN OUTBREAK.

>> I'M GOING TO THE FOOTPATH.

IT IS LIKE LYSOL.

SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT.

IT IS A DISINFECTANT.

WE HAVE OUR SIGNS FOR THE BIO SECURITY AREA.

YOU PROBABLY NOTICED HOW IT IS REALLY WET AND BUBBLY.

WE JUST HAD A TRUCK COME THROUGH AND THE DRIVER HAD TO GO THROUGH DISINFECTANT, HIS ISSUES AND WHAT NOT.

BUT HE DID WAS HE WATCHED THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE TRUCK TO MAKE SURE HE DIDN'T CONTACT BIRD FLU FROM THE ROAD.

ANYTHING THAT GOES PAST THE GATES GETS DISINFECT .

>> Reporter: THEY ALSO LIMIT VISITORS FROM ENTERING THE FACILITIES AND WE ARE NOT JUST TALKING ABOUT HUMAN VISITORS, EITHER.

>> WE DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO KEEP WILD BIRDS FROM GOING IN THE CHICKEN HOUSES.

WE KEEP ALL AROUND THE CHICKEN HOUSES REALLY CLEAN.

THAT WAY WE CAN SPOT IF THERE IS, IF A BIRD WAS FLYING OVERHEAD AND DEFECATED.

IF THERE WAS BIRD FECES ON THE GROUND, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO SPOT IT.

FOR THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE PREDICTS THAT PRICES WILL INCREASE ANOTHER 20% IN 2025.

MELISSA MAE, KPBS NEWS.

>>> SAN DIEGO MAYOR TODD GLORIA HAS GIVEN UP HIS PUSH FOR A NEW HOMELESS SHELTER ON VINE STREET.

KPBS METRO REPORTER ANDREW BOWEN SAYS THE CITY IS SHIFTING FOCUS TO THREE ALTERNATIVE SITES.

, TWO OF THE SITES ARE ALREADY OWNED BY THE CITY.

A SOON TO BE VACANT OFFICE BUILDING ON FIRST AVENUE AND THE FORMER CENTRAL LIBRARY ON THE STREET.

TODD GLORIA HAD HOPED TO CONVERT A WAREHOUSE TUCKED BETWEEN THE I-FIVE FREEWAY AND THE AIRPORT INTO A 1000 PET SHELTER.

BUT, CITY COUNCILMEMBERS BALKED AT THE LEASE TERMS AND OVERALL PRICE TAG APPEARED AT A MEETING ON MONDAY, THE CITY COUNCIL WAS TOLD THE NEW OPTIONS ARE ALSO EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE.

>> HAVE CONCERNS IT WILL COMPLETELY BLOW UP OUR BUDGET RELATED TO HOMELESSNESS.

NOT ALLOW US TO DO THINGS THAT AREN'T WORKING, LIKE PREVENTION AND DIVERSION.

AND, IT WON'T BRING BEDS ONLINE THAT QUICKLY .

>> Reporter: CITY STAFF ESTIMATES CONVERTING THE OFFICE BUILDING INTO A SHELTER WOULD COST $45 MILLION AND TAKE NEARLY 4 YEARS.

THE FORMER LIBRARY WOULD BE EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE TO BE HAPPY, NEARLY $87 MILLION.

>> A LOT OF YOU ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THE CHALLENGES THAT CURRENTLY HAS.

THERE IS NO ELECTRICAL.

THE PLUMBING DOES NOT WORK.

WE WOULD HAVE TO DO ASBESTOS REMOVAL .

>> Reporter: THE CITY COUNCIL VOTED TO ASK FOR A CLOSER ANALYSIS OF THE PRIVATELY OWNED FACILITY ON SECOND AVENUE, AND IT IS ASKING FOR A COMPLETE REDEVELOPMENT OF THE FORMER LIBRARY INTO ANY NUMBER OF USES, INCLUDING PERMANENT HOUSING.

ANDREW BOWEN, KPBS NEWS.

>>> ON ONE THIRD OF NATIONAL CITY RESIDENTS OWN THEIR HOME.

NOW A NEW PROJECT AIMS TO FIX THAT.

NEWS SOURCE INTERN HANNAH PSALMA RAMIREZ HAS THE STORY .

>> Reporter: A NEW PROGRAM WILL LOOK TO BUILD MORE THAN 100 HOUSING UNITS ON NATIONAL CITY CITY-OWNED LAND.

>> THE CHALLENGE POSED BY THE RENTAL MARKET.

THINGS ARE KEPT AT WHAT OPPORTUNITIES THEY CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BECOMES OF HOW INTENSE THE PRICES ARE IN OUR MARKET .

>> Reporter: WITH GRANT FUNDING, THE CITY IS LOOKING AT SIX PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN VACANT FOR YEARS.

FROM THE SITE OF AN OLD THEATER TO GRASSY PLOTS.

THE NEW UNITS CAN BE TOWNHOMES, MIXED-USE PROPERTIES, EVEN COMMUNITY LAND TRUSTS.

COUNCILMEMBER MOLINA SAYS SHE WANTS NATIONAL CITY RESIDENTS TO BE PRIVATIZED.

>> THE LAST THING I WOULD WANT IS TO FURTHER DISPLACE PEOPLE BECAUSE THERE ARE BETTER BITTERS OR SPECULATORS THAT ARE SAVVY.

IN FACT, IF WE ARE GOING TO GO THROUGH THIS, I WOULD INSIST THAT EVERY SINGLE OPPORTUNITY IS MEANT FOR THOSE FOLKS THAT TRULY DO DESERVE A LEG UP IN THIS ECONOMY.

>> Reporter: THE CITY COULD FIND A NEW DEVELOPER BY THE FALL.

FOR KPBS, NEWS SOURCE INTERN, HANNAH PSALMA RAMIREZ.

>> FOR MORE ON THIS STORY, YOU CAN GO TO INEWSSOURCE.ORG, AND INDEPENDENTLY FUNDED PARTNER OF KPBS .

>>> SOLITUDE IS TRANSFORMING AMERICAN SOCIETY.

WHETHER IT IS A DESIRE TO BE ALONE OR INVOLUNTARY LONELINESS, PEOPLE ARE SPENDING MORE TIME BY THEMSELVES.

TO DISCUSS THE RAMIFICATIONS OF ISOLATION AND DEMOCRACY, I'M JOINED BY KPBS PUBLIC MATTERS REPORTER AMITA SHARMA.

>> IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE.

>> GIVE ME THE NUMBERS THAT SHOW AMERICANS ARE SPENDING MORE TIME ALONE.

>> THERE ARE TWO ASPECTS TO THIS SOLITUDE ISSUE.

THERE'S LONELINESS THAT IS UNINTENTIONAL.

AND, I THINK IT HAS BEEN WIDELY REPORTED THAT SURGEON GENERAL A FEW YEARS AGO DECLARED LONELINESS AND EPIDEMIC.

LOTS OF POLLING HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS.

ONE SHOWS THAT ADULTS BETWEEN 18 AND 34 ARE LONELY EVERYTHING OR SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK.

AND, MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS ACROSS THE BOARD WILL TELL YOU THAT SOCIAL CONNECTION IS ABSOLUTELY VITAL FOR MENTAL HEALTH.

>> WHAT ABOUT THOSE WHO JUST WISH TO SPEND TIME AS "ME TIME"?

>> THAT IS THE SECOND ASPECT.

THERE ARE MORE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY CHOOSING TO BE ALONE AND, THIS IS ACTUALLY A PHENOMENON THAT IS GROWING.

TIKTOK HAS ALL OF THESE VIDEOS SHOWING PEOPLE CELEBRATING WHEN THEIR FRIENDS OR FAMILY CANCEL PLANS FOR THEM.

>> RIDER DAVID THOMPSON, WHO PUBLISHED A PIECE ON SOCIAL ISOLATION IN "ATLANTIC," LAST MONTH BUT SOBERING STATISTICS ON THE ISSUE ON X RECENTLY.

HE SAID SCHOOL AGED GIRLS SOCIALIZING WITH FRIENDS OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL HAS DROPPED 50% SINCE THE EARLY 1990s.

A WOMAN WHO OWNS THE PETS INTERACTS MORE WITH THE ANIMALS THEN FACE TO FACE CONTACT WITH FRIENDS.

BUT HUMANKIND.

AND, FOR EVERY ONE HOUR MANNER WITH THEIR FRIENDS, THEY SPEND SEVEN HOURS WATCHING TV.

TECH WORKER ATWATER ROSENFELD SAYS HE WOULD RATHER STAY AT HOME AND TO SOCIALIZE REMOTELY AND HE DOES NOT THINK HE'S ISOLATING HIMSELF.

HE SAYS HIS INTERACTION IS HOW IT IS DONE NOW.

>> I GO TO THE GYM, I COME HOME AND I WILL HOP ON MY PLAYSTATION AND TALK TO EIGHT OF MY FRIENDS THAT ARE ALSO ONLINE AND I DON'T HAVE TO GO DRIVE 20 MINUTES TO GO SIT AT SOMEONE'S HOUSE AND HANG OUT WITH THEM IN PERSON.

I CAN DO THAT WHILE PLAYING A GAME.

IT IS A DIFFERENT WORLD NOW.

>> Reporter: BUT, ROSENFELD HAS ISOLATED FROM SOCIAL MEDIA.

HE UNPLUGGED ABOUT 12 YEARS AGO.

>> I WOULD SEE MY FRIENDS AT SAN DIEGO STATE HAVING A GREAT TIME AND I ASKED MYSELF WHAT AM I DOING, WHY AREN'T I ENJOYING MYSELF AND HAVING FUN?

IT BECAME SOMETHING THAT WAS REALLY DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH AND MANAGE.

SO, I JUST DELETED EVERYTHING AND FELT SO MUCH BETTER AFTER.

>> Reporter: ALL OF THIS HAS RAMIFICATIONS FOR DEMOCRACY.

UNLIKE ROSENFELD, SOME PEOPLE WHO SEPARATE THEMSELVES FROM OTHERS BY CHOICE THEIR INTERACTION WITH OTHER PEOPLE VIA SOCIAL MEDIA.

>> AS SOON AS YOU ARE DONE WITH THIS VIDEO, I NEED YOU TO FIND THE NUMBER OF YOUR CONGRESS: AND I NEED YOU TO CALL THEM AT THEM PROFUSELY.

>> Reporter: WHEN THOSE COMPETITIONS VEER INTO POLITICS, THE TONE CAN BE BRUTAL.

YOUR HISTORIAN TIM SNYDER SAYS WHEN PEOPLE ARE ALONE, THEY LOOK FOR BIG FALSE COMMUNITIES TO JOIN.

HE CALLS SOCIAL MEDIA "AN INCUBATOR FOR THE ANGRY."

>> IF YOU ARE DRIVEN INTO ARTIFICIAL ISOLATION BY THE MACHINE, YOUR POLITICS BECOME GENERIC AND PREDICTABLE.

YOUR POLITICS ARE ABOUT HOW YOU FEEL GRIEVANCE, YOU ARE THE VICTIM, YOU ARE ALWAYS THE VICTIM.

YOU CAN'T REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING.

THEREFORE, YOU NEED A BIG, STRONG MAN TO CLEAN THINGS UP FOR YOU.

THAT IS PREDICABLE AND SAD AND INCREDIBLY BORING.

FOR SNYDER SAYS THE SOLUTION IS FOR PEOPLE, CHILDREN, TO GET OUT AND JOIN SPORTS TEAMS, TAKE ART CLASSES, GO ON FIELD TRIPS AND HE SAID OFFICIALS SHOULD BAN SMART PHONES IN SCHOOLS.

>> I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR, IN ALL FAIRNESS TO ALL OF US WHO MAKE UP SOCIETY, WE ARE VERY, VERY BUSY.

WE ARE WORKING LONG HOURS, WE ARE RAISING CANE'S, WE ARE RUNNING THE HOUSEHOLD AND SO MANY OF US DON'T HAVE THE BANDWIDTH TO SOCIALIZE AFTER ALL OF THAT IS SAID AND DONE.

TO CLOSE THE LOOP ON LONELINESS, I HAD A VERY LONG CONVERSATION WITH A 92-YEAR-OLD WOMAN BY THE NAME OF THE RISK FROM SAN DIEGO.

AND, SHE IS PAINFULLY LONELY.

SHE GOES DAYS WITHOUT SEEING ANOTHER HUMAN BEING.

SHE SPENDS MOST OF HER TIME INSIDE HER HOME WATCHING FOX NEWS.

SHE THINKS CALIFORNIA, THE REST OF THE COUNTRY, OR IN DISMAL SHAPE, AND SHE IS COPING ON PRESIDENT TRUMP TO FIX IT ALL.

>> WHAT AN INTERESTING STUDY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

>>> THE STORY IS PART OF OUR PUBLIC MATTERS INITIATIVE.

YOU CAN LEARN MORE ABOUT IT ON OUR WEBSITE, KPBS.ORG .

THEY SAY IT COULD ALSO IMPACT TENS OF THOUSANDS OF RESEARCHERS AND OTHER WORKERS.

THE COMPLAINT INDICATED THE STATE WOULD BE SEEKING A TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, PAUSING THE CUT.

>>> STATE OFFICIALS ARE HOPING BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SCHOLARSHIP WILL ATTRACT NEW PROFESSIONALS TO THE FIELD.

KPBS HEALTH REPORTER HEIDI DE MARCO SAYS IT PLANS TO BUILD CRITICAL GAPS.

THE STATE SCHOLARSHIPS ARE DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS TRAIN FOR CAREERS IN BEHAVIORAL HEALTH.

THAT INCLUDES 32 PROFESSIONS LIKE IMMUNITY HEALTH WORKERS, SUBSTANCE USE SPECIALISTS, AND CASE MANAGERS.

THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND INFORMATION WATCHED THE PROGRAM LAST YEAR.

>> IS A SHORTAGE ALL THE WAY FROM THE VERY ENTRY-LEVEL ALL THE WAY UP TO OUR PRACTITIONERS AND PROVIDERS AND CLINICIANS.

>> Reporter: 820 22 SAN DIEGO COUNTY REPORT ESTIMATED THE REGION NEEDS 18,004 BEHAVIORAL HEALTH WORKERS BY 2027 TO MEET DEMAND.

A SIMILAR STATE SCHOLARSHIP, MEANT TO ADDRESS THE SCHOOL COUNSELOR SHORTAGE, HAS HELPED INCREASE MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT STAFF IN SCHOOLS.

>> WE CURRENTLY HAVE 18 CERTIFIED PERFORMANCE COACHES IN SAN DIEGO.

THEN WE ARE CONTINUING TO GET MORE DATA DAILY .

>> Reporter: THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM EXPANDS THIS EFFORT BEYOND SCHOOLS INTO CLINICS, COMMUNITY CENTERS, AND OTHER CARE SETTINGS.

PRIORITY IS BEING GIVEN TO APPLICANTS WHO SPEAK HIGH DEMAND LANGUAGES SUCH AS SPANISH, CHINESE, AND PUNJABI, TO HELP EXPAND CULTURALLY COMPETENT CARE.

>> BEING SEEN AND BEING HURT AND BEING PRESENTED IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF WHAT IT TAKES TO RECOVER .

>> Reporter: KIRSTEN PULSKA SAYS PATIENTS IN CRISIS CAN BE FAST ENOUGH HAVING MORE TRAINED PROFESSIONALS WILL MAKE A HUGE IMPACT.

SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENTS MEANT TO ONE YEAR OF SERVICE IN AN UNDERSERVED AREA.

>> A LOT OF TIMES, THERE IS A BENEFIT TO THE SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS, SINCE THAT YOU ARE BRINGING IN NEW TALENT INTO THE FIELD AND ALSO BY ASKING FOR A COMMITMENT TO WORK IN THE FIELD OR IN SOME OF THESE AREAS WHERE THERE IS A HIGH NEED.

>> Reporter: APPLICATIONS ARE OPEN THROUGH THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13th.

HEIDI DE MARCO, KPBS NEWS.

>>> IT IS THE MOST COMMON BONE DISEASE IN THE UNITED STATES.

AUTO PROCESS IS A WEAKENING OF FABLES STRUCTURE, THE TISSUE, AND STRENGTH, LEADING TO AN INCREASED RISK OF FRACTURES.

IT IS A TREATABLE CONDITION BUT ONLY IF IT IS DETECTED THROUGH SCREENING.

AS MANDY GAITHER REPORTS, THERE ARE NEW GUIDELINES ON WHO SHOULD BE TESTED.

>> Reporter: IT IS CALLED A SILENT DISEASE BECAUSE THERE ARE NO SYMPTOMS OF EARLY-STAGE OSTEOPOROSIS.

IT IS USUALLY FOUND AFTER A FRACTURE OR DURING SCREENING.

>> IT IS A MATTER OF TIME AND NONUSE OF YOUR BONES THAT IT SLOWLY DEVELOPS .

>> Reporter: DR. PAUL LEWIS WITH THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY WEBSTER MEDICAL CENTER SAYS OSTEOPOROSIS SCREENING ISN'T INVASIVE BUT IS CRITICAL AS IT CAN DETECT THE CONDITION BEFORE BONES ARE BROKEN.

NEW GUIDELINES RECOMMEND ALL WOMEN OVER AGE 65 HAS A BONE MINERAL DENSITY TEST.

WOMEN OF ANY AGE ARE AT INCREASED RISK FOR THE DISEASE, THEY ARE ALSO ADVISED TO BE SCREENED.

>> IT IS AS SIMPLE AS GETTING X- RAYS TAKEN.

YOU LAY ON THE TABLE, THEY FOCUS ON THE HIP, THE SPINE, OR YOUR WRIST AND A SCORE IS COMPUTED FROM THAT.

>> Reporter: OF THAT SCORE HELPS DETERMINE BONE DENSITY.

IF IT IS LOW, LEWIS SAYS THERE ARE SEVERAL MEDICATIONS THAT CAN STOP THOMAS OR HELP OLD BONE BACK, CONSISTENTLY DOING WEIGHT-BEARING EXERCISES OR AEROBICS, FOR EXAMPLE, CAN HELP PREVENT THE DISEASE.

HE SAYS THE NEW RECOMMENDATIONS ARE DUE TO AN INCREASE IN INJURIES AND EVEN DEATH WANT TO THE STATE OF FRACTURES IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.

>> THE JURY IS OUT ON MEN GETTING SCREENED.

TYPICALLY, MEN WITH RISK FACTORS OF OSTEOPOROSIS SHOULD BE SCREENED AS WELL.

THAT DECISION COMES BETWEEN THE PATIENT AND THEIR PHYSICIAN .

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

>>> TIGER WOODS NO LONGER PLANS TO COMPETE AT THE GENESIS INVITATIONAL IN SAN DIEGO.

TIGER WOODS SAYS HE IS STILL PROCESSING THE DEATH OF HIS MOTHER, WHO DIED ON EFFECTIVELY AT THE AGE OF 80.

HE SAYS HE HOPES TO BE AT TORREY PINES LATER IN THE WEEK AS THE TOURNAMENT HOST.

IT IS USUALLY HELD AT THE RIVERA COUNTRY CLUB IN PACIFIC PALISADES BUT WAS MOVED TO THE L.A. WILDFIRES.

THE GENESIS INVITATIONAL WILL TEE OFF ON THURSDAY.

>>> SOME GREAT WEATHER TODAY.

WE WILL BE CHANGING THINGS UP AS WE GO THROUGH THIS WEEK IN A BIG WAY AND HONESTLY A BENEFICIAL WAY.

FIRST UP, AS WE GO THROUGH TONIGHT, JUST A FEW SHOWERS OUT THERE.

NOT A BIG DEAL AS WE MOVE THROUGH THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS HEADING INTO TOMORROW MORNING.

OUR BIG PATTERN CHANGE WILL COME AS WE GET INTO THE MIDDLE OF THIS WEEK.

WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE WETTEST WEATHER OF THE WET SEASON.

SINCE WE START THINGS IN OCTOBER, THIS IS GOING TO BE THE RAINIEST STRETCH.

RAINFALL AMOUNTS CAN LEAD TO 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN.

LET'S BREAK IT ALL DOWN FOR YOU.

FIRST STEP TONIGHT, A COUPLE OF SPOTTY SHOWERS.

CERTAINLY SOME EXTRA CLOUDS.

52 IN THE CITY.

AS YOU HEAD TOWARD ESCONDIDO, 34 FOR THE LOW-END 35 IN MOUNT LAGUNA.

TOMORROW, WE WILL SEE SOMETHING BREAK OUT.

61 FOR THE HIGH.

AS YOU WORK YOUR WAY TOWARD CHULA VISTA, 60.

56 IS WHERE WE TALK ABOUT IN RAMONA.

PRETTY QUIET GOING THROUGH THE DAY TOMORROW.

WEDNESDAY, NOT TOO BAD.

I WEDNESDAY NIGHT, WE SEE THE MOISTURE DROPPING SOUTH THROUGH CALIFORNIA AND MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE ACROSS SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WHERE HEAVY RAINFALL, ESPECIALLY WHERE SOME OF THE FIRES ARE, THAT WOULD BE SOME OF THE BIGGEST CONCERN.

ACROSS OUR AREA, MOST OF US SIT IN THE 1 TO 2 INCH RANGE.

AS YOU GET TOWARD THE UPSLOPE AREAS, THIS IS WHERE WE SQUEEZE OUT TWO, THREE, MAYBE EVEN 4 INCHES OF RAIN.

THAT IS WHERE WE EXPECT THE HIGHEST RAINFALL TOTALS.

AND, WITH THE TERRAIN, WE HAVE TO WATCH FOR THE RISK OF FLOODING.

I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE TO WIDESPREAD.

MOST OF THIS IS BENEFICIAL DROUGHT RELIEF.

WE ARE BREAKING IT DOWN FOR YOU AND FOR THE TOAST.

YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE SOME OF THOSE SHOWERS STARTING TO WORK IN ON WEDNESDAY.

IT WILL BE LATER IN THE DAY.

THEN, FOR THURSDAY, THAT IS THE RAINIEST DAY BY FOUR.

TEMPERATURES STAYING IN THE 60s.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO INLAND COMMUNITIES, STAYING COOL WITH WAYNE CONTINUING.

60 IS THE HIGH ON THURSDAY.

SHOWERS START OFF WEDNESDAY AND LINGERING SHOWERS ON FRIDAY MORNING.

MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES, YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE THE CHANCE FOR SOME SNOW.

YOU HAVE TO GET PRETTY HIGH UP, PROBABLY ABOUT 7000 FEET TO FIND MORE OF THAT ACCUMULATION.

IT'S GOING TO BE LIMITED AS TO WHAT KIND OF SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS CAN BE AND COOL WITH THE RAIN FOR THE DESERTS AS WE GO INTO THURSDAY.

>> Reporter: RESEARCH HAS FOUND A STAYING HOME AND WATCHING TV TOGETHER CAN PROVIDE BENEFITS FOR CLOSE RELATIONSHIPS, PARTICULARLY WHEN COUPLES LIKE SHARED FRIENDS OR SOCIAL NETWORKS.

>> THERE'S SOMETHING NICE ABOUT BEING IN THE SAME SPACE AND NOT HAVING IT FRAUGHT WITH ANY KIND OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT FAMILY AND THE KIDS IN THE FINANCES OR RELATIONSHIP.

FOR BUT, WITH SO MANY DIFFERENT STREAMING OPTIONS AND SHOWS TO CHOOSE FROM, DO YOU HAVE TO FIND THE PERFECT SERIES TO WATCH?

>> PART OF WHAT IS BENEFICIAL IS NOT JUST THE SHOW, IT IS THE RITUAL.

IT IS MAKING TIME TOGETHER.

WATCHING TV TOGETHER IS A REALLY GOOD WAY TO DECOMPRESS AND DO SOMETHING THAT IS NOT CONTROVERSIAL OR EMOTIONALLY CHARGED.

>> Reporter: WHAT ARE SOME BEST PURPOSES?

BE CONSISTENT, SET A TIME FOR THE SHOW AND EACH OTHER.

NO DEVICES.
