local college basketball game was transmitted
on early television equipment, making it the
first time a sport reached a home audience via
live electronic pictures. That milestone showed
how broadcast technology could bring live athletic
competition into everyday homes and set a precedent
for sports becoming a central part of mass entertainment.

Sunny mornings send you. In local news, has a
gas station near you closed? This new California
law could be the reason. The recently shuttered
76 station on Alameda's Bay Farm Island is surrounded
by a cyclone fence, with faded signs still advertising
lottery tickets and fuel pumps now dismantled.
The former owner, Simon Kim, could not afford
to replace the outdated tanks, which required
a cost of $2 million, leading to the station's
closure on November 30th. As of January 1st,
California mandates that underground fuel tanks
must have dual protective shells to prevent environmental
contamination, which many gas station owners
find prohibitively expensive. This situation
has left numerous gas stations across the state
facing similar challenges. creating concerns
over potential fuel shortages and rising gas
prices. Now on to sports. The Hoosiers are national
champions. In Miami Gardens, Florida, Fernando
Mendoza showcased his skills, executing a remarkable
touchdown for Indiana University, sealing a 27
to 21 victory over Miami. and completing an undefeated
season. Mendoza's pivotal 12 -yard touchdown
run defined the game, contributing to his impressive
186 yards passing. With a perfect 16 -0 record,
Indiana celebrates a championship that marks
a significant turnaround for a program long burdened
by losses. Signetti reflected on the achievement,
calling it one of the greatest sports stories
of all time. in local sports. The San Diego Rodeo
concluded at Petco Park after another year of
drawing sold -out crowds. Despite ongoing concerns
about animal welfare, the event, which is in
its third year, continued to attract fans from
throughout the region. C5, the organizing company,
expressed gratitude to sponsors and attendees,
looking forward to another successful event.
However, multiple groups have protested the rodeo,
citing animal cruelty concerns. A court case
is underway with the Animal Protection and Rescue
League suing the San Diego Padres, while the
Humane Society continues to oppose rodeos due
to the risks they pose to animals. In top news,
San Francisco will offer free childcare to families
earning less than $230 ,000 a year. and a 50
% subsidy to those earning up to $310 ,000 in
an effort to make this city more affordable.
Mayor Daniel Leary announced this initiative
as part of his Family Opportunity Agenda, stating
it aims to reduce living costs for families by
tens of thousands of dollars annually. The program
is funded by unspent tax dollars from Proposition
C, providing access to over 500 child care providers
citywide. This measure is expected to significantly
help families amidst the affordability crisis.
In business news, President Donald Trump has
proposed a 10 % cap on credit card interest rates
to address affordability concerns before the
midterm elections. However, banks have pushed
back, arguing that this cap could reduce access
to credit, especially for those with lower credit
scores. Currently, credit card interest rates
average about 22%, and implementing such a cap
would likely require legislation from Congress.
A study from Vandergilt University suggests that
a 10 % cap could save consumers $100 billion
annually. Banks may reduce rewards programs to
offset profit losses, but many analysts believe
consumers would still benefit overall. In crypto
movement, Bitcoin is down 1 % to about $92 ,000.

tech. General Motors Chief Executive Officer
Mary Barra says people aren't plugging in their
plug -in hybrids, which defeats their whole purpose.
Plug -in hybrid vehicles might be even less fuel
efficient than gas -only cars when owners do
not plug them in. Vera noted at a conference
that most plug -in hybrid owners do not charge
their vehicles, leading to concerns about their
environmental benefits. In United States, transportation
is the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions,
making the transition to electric vehicles crucial.
Research shows that plug -in hybrids may produce
significantly higher carbon dioxide emissions
than official estimates suggest. Entertainment
