I'm your host, Melissa, 00:00:09.519 --> 00:00:13.900 and it's Tuesday, December 23rd. You'll be interested 00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:20.620 to know. 78 years ago, today, in 1947, a team 00:00:20.620 --> 00:00:23.059 at Bell Telephone Laboratories developed the 00:00:23.059 --> 00:00:26.359 first practical transistor, a small solid -state 00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:29.339 device that could amplify and switch electrical 00:00:29.339 --> 00:00:33.780 signals. and replace fragile vacuum tubes. That 00:00:33.780 --> 00:00:36.200 breakthrough sparked a revolution in electronics, 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:40.340 enabling smaller, faster, and more reliable devices, 00:00:40.659 --> 00:00:43.619 from radios to computers, and laying the foundation 00:00:43.619 --> 00:00:48.979 for today's digital world. So now you know. And 00:00:48.979 --> 00:00:55.560 now it's time for the Surf Report. Tuesday at 00:00:55.560 --> 00:00:59.210 Tourmaline. This morning, it's looking fair with 00:00:59.210 --> 00:01:03.310 waves around one to two feet.

By midday, 00:01:10.150 --> 00:01:13.049 we see waves bumping up to one plus foot, but 00:01:13.049 --> 00:01:15.650 becoming choppy as the side shore winds pick 00:01:15.650 --> 00:01:19.829 up to 10 miles per hour. Best time to ride is 00:01:19.829 --> 00:01:23.730 at 7 a .m. with a four -foot incoming mid -tide. 00:01:23.870 --> 00:01:27.469 when the west swell is 1 .5 feet at 10 seconds 00:01:27.469 --> 00:01:31.590 and the offshore wind is 8 mile per hour. The 00:01:31.590 --> 00:01:34.950 first high tide on Tuesday will be 5 .5 feet 00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:38.650 at 10 a .m., followed by a half -foot low tide 00:01:38.650 --> 00:01:43.290 just after 5 .30. The nearshore buoy at Mission 00:01:43.290 --> 00:01:47.370 Day West reads 63 degrees for the water temperature. 00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:51.469 Chubby conditions dominate with waves ranging 00:01:51.469 --> 00:01:54.950 from 2 to 4 feet on Wednesday, accompanied by 00:01:54.950 --> 00:01:58.170 southeast winds around a keen to 22 miles per 00:01:58.170 --> 00:02:01.969 hour. Thursday shows similar choppy surf at 3 00:02:01.969 --> 00:02:05.310 to 4 feet, with winds shifting slightly but remaining 00:02:05.310 --> 00:02:08.909 consistent. Friday brings a significant increase 00:02:08.909 --> 00:02:12.930 in swell, reaching 7 to 10 feet, with fair conditions 00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:17.669 early before winds pick up again. This morning, 00:02:17.830 --> 00:02:21.150 it's cloudy and it feels like 60 degrees, with 00:02:21.150 --> 00:02:24.939 5 mile per hour wind. The sunset will take place 00:02:24.939 --> 00:02:29.240 at 448, and it will rise again tomorrow at 652. 00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:32.340 It looks like we're in for some rain showers 00:02:32.340 --> 00:02:35.719 likely after 10 a .m., with cloudy skies and 00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:39.520 a high near 66, accompanied by a south wind at 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.800 5 to 15 miles per hour, gusting up to 25.

In local news, the South 00:04:15.120 --> 00:04:17.540 Bay Union School District has announced plans 00:04:17.540 --> 00:04:20.699 to permanently close three elementary schools, 00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.879 including Sunny Slope Elementary School and Berry 00:04:23.879 --> 00:04:27.040 Elementary School, due to significant enrollment 00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.300 declines exceeding 40 percent in the past 15 00:04:30.300 --> 00:04:34.899 years. Community opposition emerged strongly 00:04:34.899 --> 00:04:37.740 at a recent school board meeting, where the resolution 00:04:37.740 --> 00:04:42.120 was passed unanimously. Vanessa Barrera, President 00:04:42.120 --> 00:04:45.379 of the Southwest Teachers Association emphasized 00:04:45.379 --> 00:04:48.220 that every student should have access to a public 00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:51.000 school in their neighborhoods, warning that closures 00:04:51.000 --> 00:04:53.779 could adversely affect students and the broader 00:04:53.779 --> 00:04:58.100 community. Superintendent Jose Espinosa acknowledged 00:04:58.100 --> 00:05:00.939 the need for facility improvements and cited 00:05:00.939 --> 00:05:03.699 declining enrollment as a justification for the 00:05:03.699 --> 00:05:06.160 closures, which are subject to further review. 00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:15.420 Now on to sports. The Kansas City Chiefs will 00:05:15.420 --> 00:05:18.379 be moving from Missouri to a Doane Stadium in 00:05:18.379 --> 00:05:22.360 Kansas in 2031, as confirmed by Governor Laura 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:26.740 Kelly and team owner Clark Hunt. The new stadium, 00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:30.519 projected to cost $3 billion, will be located 00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:33.319 in Wyandotte County, while the team headquarters 00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:37.060 will be in Olath, Kansas. Lieutenant Governor 00:05:37.060 --> 00:05:40.139 David Tolland called it the largest economic 00:05:40.139 --> 00:05:44.160 win in Kansas history. NFL Commissioner Roger 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.899 Goodell emphasized that this public -private 00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:50.060 partnership will enhance the Chief's legacy and 00:05:50.060 --> 00:05:53.339 benefit the region. The Chiefs have played in 00:05:53.339 --> 00:05:57.740 Kansas City, Missouri since 1963, marking a significant 00:05:57.740 --> 00:06:02.000 shift in the NFL landscape. And last night, on 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.839 Monday Night Football, Brock Purdy threw a career 00:06:04.839 --> 00:06:08.939 -high five touchdown passes, and D. Winters returned 00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:11.680 an interception of Philip Rivers' final pass 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:15.379 74 yards for a score, leading the San Francisco 00:06:15.379 --> 00:06:20.240 49ers to a 48 -27 victory over the Indianapolis 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:27.180 Colts. Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 00:06:27.180 --> 00:06:31.079 yards with one interception. Christian McCaffrey 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.600 rushed 21 times for 117 yards and caught six 00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:40.300 passes for 29 yards and two scores. The 49ers 00:06:40.300 --> 00:06:42.819 have won five straight games, staying in the 00:06:42.819 --> 00:06:47.300 chase for the NFC top seed. Rivers was 23 of 00:06:47.300 --> 00:06:53.279 35 for 277 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. 00:06:54.779 --> 00:06:59.230 In local sports. Denzel Perryman, the linebacker 00:06:59.230 --> 00:07:02.069 for the Los Angeles Chargers, has been suspended 00:07:02.069 --> 00:07:06.089 for two games without pay by the NFL due to repeated 00:07:06.089 --> 00:07:10.350 violations of player safety rules. This suspension 00:07:10.350 --> 00:07:12.990 follows a helmet -to -helmet hit during the Chargers' 00:07:13.449 --> 00:07:16.689 recent victory over the Dallas Cowboys. Coach 00:07:16.689 --> 00:07:19.350 John Harbaugh expressed hope that the circumstances 00:07:19.350 --> 00:07:21.670 would be considered during the appeal process. 00:07:22.529 --> 00:07:25.509 Perryman's agent has confirmed that he will indeed 00:07:25.509 --> 00:07:29.269 appeal the suspension. With crucial games ahead, 00:07:29.629 --> 00:07:32.569 the Chargers aim to secure the AFC West title, 00:07:32.949 --> 00:07:35.709 making Perryman's absence particularly impactful 00:07:35.709 --> 00:07:42.350 for San Diego area fans. In top news, the Trump 00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:45.949 administration abruptly recalled nearly 30 career 00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:49.009 ambassadors at U .S. embassies around the world, 00:07:49.350 --> 00:07:51.529 according to multiple officials familiar with 00:07:51.529 --> 00:07:54.209 the matter. in a move that senior officials said 00:07:54.209 --> 00:07:56.870 aims to better align the State Department with 00:07:56.870 --> 00:08:00.910 the president's foreign policy agenda. Ambassadors 00:08:00.910 --> 00:08:03.610 were told to return to Washington, giving them 00:08:03.610 --> 00:08:07.629 until mid -January to vacate their posts. The 00:08:07.629 --> 00:08:10.129 mass recall, coupled with numerous top -level 00:08:10.129 --> 00:08:13.290 overseas posts already sitting empty, is without 00:08:13.290 --> 00:08:17.329 modern historic precedent. At least 13 U .S. 00:08:17.490 --> 00:08:20.430 ambassadors from Africa were recalled, including 00:08:20.430 --> 00:08:23.740 from Burundi and Nigeria, alongside several in 00:08:23.740 --> 00:08:28.060 Europe and Asia. Concerns arise about the safety 00:08:28.060 --> 00:08:30.899 and well -being of diplomatic personnel overseas 00:08:30.899 --> 00:08:35.259 without seasoned leadership. In business news, 00:08:36.539 --> 00:08:39.019 U .S. officials have banned new drones made in 00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:43.419 China, sparking outrage among pilots. The Federal 00:08:43.419 --> 00:08:46.159 Communications Commission prohibited all drones 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:49.980 and critical components from major Chinese manufacturers 00:08:49.980 --> 00:08:54.690 DJI Technology, and auto robotics, citing national 00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:58.450 security concerns. The ban does not affect existing 00:08:58.450 --> 00:09:02.470 models in stores or already purchased. Many American 00:09:02.470 --> 00:09:05.289 drone pilots are hoarding products, fearing the 00:09:05.289 --> 00:09:08.909 loss of their livelihoods, as DJI accounts for 00:09:08.909 --> 00:09:13.950 up to 90 % of the market. DJI expressed disappointment 00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:16.629 in the decision, arguing that concerns about 00:09:16.629 --> 00:09:21.149 its data security lack evidence. The ban poses 00:09:21.149 --> 00:09:24.029 a significant threat to many small businesses 00:09:24.029 --> 00:09:28.750 reliant on Chinese -made drones. In crypto movement, 00:09:29.850 --> 00:09:35.590 Bitcoin is down 1 % to about $88 ,000. Ethereum 00:09:35.590 --> 00:09:39.169 is down half a percent to just under $3 ,000. 00:09:40.149 --> 00:09:47.210 And XRP is down half a percent to $1 .89.

He aims to enhance human biology 00:10:51.460 --> 00:10:55.440 to build longer, healthier lives. His research 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.840 focuses on Bose -Polarons in superfluids and 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:02.919 super solids. Simons has been recognized as the 00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.779 youngest doctoral recipient in Belgium, completing 00:11:05.779 --> 00:11:08.200 high school at eight and a three -year bachelor 00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.320 program in just 18 months. His thesis examines 00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:15.600 the behavior of impurities in super solids, which 00:11:15.600 --> 00:11:19.960 supports unusual excitations. Simon's plans to 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.240 pursue a second doctorate in medical science 00:11:22.240 --> 00:11:25.860 with artificial intelligence, prioritizing rigorous 00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:33.120 clinical evidence.

In a recent 00:11:42.809 --> 00:11:45.570 interview, he humorously dismissed claims that 00:11:45.570 --> 00:11:48.110 he was ever a serious contender for the role 00:11:48.110 --> 00:11:52.250 of Walter White in Breaking Bad, stating, I think 00:11:52.250 --> 00:11:55.710 Cranston is lying. Zahn, along with Jack Black, 00:11:56.049 --> 00:11:59.190 Paul Rudd, and Fando Newton, portrays characters 00:11:59.190 --> 00:12:01.629 who risk everything to fulfill their childhood 00:12:01.629 --> 00:12:05.980 dream of making an Anaconda reboot. He describes 00:12:05.980 --> 00:12:09.019 the film as medicine for audiences adding that 00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:11.820 it is both action -packed and laugh -out -loud 00:12:11.820 --> 00:12:16.139 funny Anaconda opens in theaters on December 00:12:16.139 --> 00:12:21.179 25th Well, alrighty folks.
