The nearshore buoy at 00:01:35.629 --> 00:01:39.489 Mission Bay West reads 63 degrees for the water 00:01:39.489 --> 00:01:43.390 temperature. Thursday features waves in the range 00:01:43.390 --> 00:01:46.549 of 3 to 4 feet with fair morning conditions before 00:01:46.549 --> 00:01:50.620 choppy surf takes over by midday.

In local 00:04:02.060 --> 00:04:05.439 news, county officials have issued new beach 00:04:05.439 --> 00:04:08.259 management actions this week, including a partial 00:04:08.259 --> 00:04:11.180 closure near Mission Bay due to potential health 00:04:11.180 --> 00:04:14.979 concerns. The San Diego County Department of 00:04:14.979 --> 00:04:18.019 Environmental Health and Quality has issued a 00:04:18.019 --> 00:04:20.920 water contact closure for the shoreline due to 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:25.120 a sewage release. The closure extends 150 feet 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.339 left and right of the storm drain and will remain 00:04:28.339 --> 00:04:31.540 in place until water samples confirm safety for 00:04:31.540 --> 00:04:35.660 contact. Updated beach and bay statuses can be 00:04:35.660 --> 00:04:38.459 found on the county's beach and bay water quality 00:04:38.459 --> 00:04:47.829 program web page. Now on to sports. The National 00:04:47.829 --> 00:04:50.629 Football League has upheld D .K. Metcalf's two 00:04:50.629 --> 00:04:54.350 -game suspension after his appeal. The Pittsburgh 00:04:54.350 --> 00:04:57.230 Steelers receiver will miss the Week 17 and Week 00:04:57.230 --> 00:05:00.750 18 games for initiating a physical confrontation 00:05:00.750 --> 00:05:04.410 with a fan. Metcalf's suspension will cost him 00:05:04.410 --> 00:05:09.050 more than $555 ,000 in salary for those games. 00:05:09.769 --> 00:05:12.810 His contract guarantees were also voided due 00:05:12.810 --> 00:05:16.629 to conduct detrimental to the league. Coach Mike 00:05:16.629 --> 00:05:19.310 Tomlin expressed support for Metcalf, stating 00:05:19.310 --> 00:05:23.410 he has been a great teammate. With Metcalf absent, 00:05:23.790 --> 00:05:26.269 the Steelers will rely on mid -season additions 00:05:26.269 --> 00:05:30.870 and other receivers to step up. In local sports, 00:05:32.009 --> 00:05:35.329 Denzel Perryman's two -game suspension for repeated 00:05:35.329 --> 00:05:38.250 violations of playing rules intended to protect 00:05:38.250 --> 00:05:41.250 the health and safety of players was upheld by 00:05:41.250 --> 00:05:45.250 hearing officer Geordie Nelson on Tuesday. This 00:05:45.250 --> 00:05:48.050 decision came after the league announced Perryman's 00:05:48.050 --> 00:05:50.949 suspension without pay, citing multiple rules 00:05:50.949 --> 00:05:54.569 violations. In the Chargers' recent win against 00:05:54.569 --> 00:05:57.509 the Dallas Cowboys, Perryman was flagged for 00:05:57.509 --> 00:06:00.410 unnecessary roughness after a helmet -to -helmet 00:06:00.410 --> 00:06:04.430 hit on a player. With Perryman absent, the Chargers 00:06:04.430 --> 00:06:07.129 will rely on linebacker Troy Dye among others, 00:06:07.569 --> 00:06:10.170 as they aim to clinch the AFC West title for 00:06:10.170 --> 00:06:17.389 the first time since 2009. In top news, the recent 00:06:17.389 --> 00:06:20.509 fight between Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua almost 00:06:20.509 --> 00:06:24.889 cost Draft King's $100 million. But everyday 00:06:24.889 --> 00:06:27.689 bettors were the real losers, as sportsbooks 00:06:27.689 --> 00:06:31.089 had a profitable night. Joshua knocked out Paul 00:06:31.089 --> 00:06:33.810 in the 6th round, while betters heavily favored 00:06:33.810 --> 00:06:38.870 Paul with 86 % of wagers placed on him. Draftkings 00:06:38.870 --> 00:06:42.170 noted a significant liability if Paul had won, 00:06:42.389 --> 00:06:46.430 but they celebrated Joshua's victory. Alex Rella 00:06:46.430 --> 00:06:49.470 from Bet and Jam stated it was the best boxing 00:06:49.470 --> 00:06:52.990 outcome of the year. Paul acknowledged his defeat 00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:56.110 while claiming a broken jaw, expressing respect 00:06:56.110 --> 00:07:01.069 for Joshua as a true fighter. In business news, 00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:06.129 California Pizza Kitchen has just sold. An investor 00:07:06.129 --> 00:07:08.829 group led by Consortium brand partners plans 00:07:08.829 --> 00:07:12.129 to acquire the chain. The deal, scheduled to 00:07:12.129 --> 00:07:15.149 close this month, is valued at just under $300 00:07:15.149 --> 00:07:19.069 million, according to Reuters. The new owner 00:07:19.069 --> 00:07:22.110 say California Pizza Kitchen is positioning itself 00:07:22.110 --> 00:07:25.430 for a new era of growth, with franchise expansion, 00:07:25.850 --> 00:07:29.819 new products, and enhanced retail presence.

And now, back to the show. Let's talk 00:08:51.909 --> 00:08:56.220 science. Scientists just made teleportation a 00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:58.860 reality with this groundbreaking experiment. 00:08:59.740 --> 00:09:02.500 Researchers successfully beamed quantum information 00:09:02.500 --> 00:09:05.200 for the first time, which could change your life 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.659 forever. A research team from the University 00:09:08.659 --> 00:09:12.019 of Stuttgart in Germany recently teleported quantum 00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:14.799 information, as published in the journal Nature 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.500 Communications this November. This scientific 00:09:18.500 --> 00:09:21.690 leap could lead to a quantum internet offering 00:09:21.690 --> 00:09:24.649 infinitely more secure information transmission. 00:09:25.769 --> 00:09:29.850 Dehadashllam, PhD, states that an entangled network 00:09:29.850 --> 00:09:32.950 of quantum computers could enable unhackable 00:09:32.950 --> 00:09:37.110 messages and solve complex problems. Although 00:09:37.110 --> 00:09:39.889 currently limited, these findings are a crucial 00:09:39.889 --> 00:09:43.190 step toward bridging greater distances in quantum 00:09:43.190 --> 00:09:51.659 communication. Jack Black is returning to voice 00:09:51.659 --> 00:09:55.139 Bowser for the Super Mario Galaxy movie, and 00:09:55.139 --> 00:09:58.740 he is teasing the upcoming film. Although he 00:09:58.740 --> 00:10:01.539 could not disclose much about the animated adaptation, 00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:04.820 the Orange County actor stated that video gamers 00:10:04.820 --> 00:10:08.000 who have played Super Mario Galaxy will enjoy 00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.779 it. I am sworn to secrecy, but there are tons 00:10:11.779 --> 00:10:14.659 of Easter eggs, and anyone who loves that universe 00:10:14.659 --> 00:10:16.980 will be very pleased with the way it has been 00:10:16.980 --> 00:10:20.679 brought to the big screen. Black told GamesRadar. 00:10:21.299 --> 00:10:24.940 The film opens in theaters on April 3rd, 2026. 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.860 Returning voice actors include Chris Pratt as 00:10:28.860 --> 00:10:32.919 Mario, Ania Taylor -Joy as Princess Peach, and 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:37.340 others. Well, all righty, folks. It's time for 00:10:37.340 --> 00:10:41.320 the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:44.820 from the American author and humorist, Mark Twain. 00:10:45.899 --> 00:10:48.970 And he said... The best way to cheer yourself 00:10:48.970 --> 00:10:52.029 is to try to cheer someone else up, capturing 00:10:52.029 --> 00:10:54.850 the essence of holiday warmth and generosity. 00:10:56.590 --> 00:10:59.850 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:03.590 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:11:03.590 --> 00:11:06.850 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:06.850 --> 00:11:10.389 the surf reports.
