23 years ago, today, in 2001, scientists at a scientific conference in Washington, D.C.,
described an observation of energy flares that provided strong evidence of the theorized
black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.
This significant discovery offered crucial support for the black hole theory.
So now you know.
And now it's time for the Surf Report.
Expect needy waste high swell on Thursday and Friday mornings with glassy conditions

In local news, the California State Senate has passed significant legislation aimed at
curbing healthcare acquisitions by private equity firms and hedge funds.
The law known as Assembly Bill 3129 received a vote of 49 to 14 just hours before the end
of the legislative session on August 31.
This measure requires state attorney general approval for any acquisition of a healthcare
company generating $25 million or more in revenue.
Proponents argue it ensures quality care at affordable prices, while opponents, including
the American Investment Council, warn it could deter investment and innovation in California's
healthcare sector.
Governor Gavin Newsom has until the end of September to act on the bill.
Now onto sports.
Tonight, the Baltimore Ravens face the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium in a thrilling
rematch of last season's AFC Championship game.
The Ravens, led by Lamar Jackson, who threw for over 3,000 yards last year, will look
to avenge their 17-10 loss from January.
Running back Colin Collier, who rushed for 89 yards on 12 carries in the preseason, will
be key to Baltimore's offense.
However, they'll be without linebacker Alden Isaac and cornerback Trayvon Mullin.
The reigning champions, led by Patrick Mahones, are poised to defend their title.
Wide receiver Tevin Wallace, with 44 catches last season, will be a crucial target for
Mahones.
The Chiefs are missing wide receiver Marquise Brown and running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire.
Kansas City enters as 4.5-point favorites with the over-under set at 47.5.
The NFL season officially kicks off at 8.20 Eastern on NBC and Peacock in local sports.
Last night, the Padres walked off the Detroit Tigers 6-5 in a dramatic 10-inning game at
Petco Park.

Merrill for the decisive run.
Detroit had led earlier with carry carpenters Homer in the 6th, while Parker Meadows and
Jake Rogers added key RBI's.
San Diego tied it in the 8th when Manny Machadoo singled, scoring Tatis.
Padres pitcher Raynall S. Spinal earned the win, and Jason Foley took the loss.

for second in the National League West.
In top news, the Environmental Protection Agency has reinstated the once-in, always-in
policy aimed at reducing emissions of toxic pollutants like arsenic and benzene from industrial
facilities nationwide.
This rule, originally established in 1995, mandates that facilities classified as major
sources of pollution maintain strict controls, even if reclassified.
While the latest changes do not fully restore the previous policy, they require most facilities
to comply with stringent standards.
Environmental advocates welcome this move, emphasizing the need for cleaner air, especially
in vulnerable communities.
Meanwhile, industry groups express concern over regulatory burdens.
In business news, Topgolf Callaway Brands has announced plans to separate into two independent
companies just four years after their merger.
The decision comes as the company aims to spin off Topgolf, known for its golf-based
entertainment, into a standalone public entity.
Topgolf will retain its operations except for the top tracer technology, which will
remain with Callaway, the golf equipment business.
Chip Brewer, the president and CEO, expressed confidence in Topgolf's potential for significant
future value.
The separation is targeted for completion in the second half of 2025, subject to necessary
approvals with ongoing partnerships between the two companies.

Let's talk science.
Oregon is facing its largest measles outbreak in decades, with 31 cases reported this year,
all in unvaccinated individuals.
Disease exemptions in the state have risen to nearly 9%, enabling sustained transmission
of this highly contagious virus.
Health officials link the outbreak to pockets of unvaccinated individuals in Clackamas,
Marion, and Multnomah counties.
Measles is notorious for spreading easily, with up to 90% of unvaccinated people becoming
ill upon exposure.
This year, the United States has recorded 236 measles cases, with 40% affecting children
under 5 years old.
Entertainment news.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, die with a smile, has climbed to the top of the Billboard Global
200.
The song debuted one week earlier in the runner-up position.
Sabrina Carpenter's Taste opens at number 2, while Chappelle Rhone's Good Luck Babe
reaches number 9.
Die with a Smile garnered 97 million streams and 12,000 sales worldwide from August 23
to 29, marking a significant milestone for both artists.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American astrophysicist and science communicator, Neil
deGrasse Tyson.
And he said,
The universe is hilarious.
Like Venus is 900 degrees.
I could tell you it melts lead.
But that's not as fun as saying you can cook a pizza on the windowsill in 9 seconds, and
next time my fans eat pizza, they're thinking of Venus.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
