In local news, this August marked the 40th anniversary of the McTwist, a groundbreaking
trick invented by Encinitas skateboarder Mike McGill in 1984.
Known for its inverted aerial and 540-degree rotation, the McTwist is considered one of
the most iconic tricks in skateboard history.
Mike celebrated at his shop with a new gold label Powell Peralta Tribute Board and limited
edition Vans skate shoes.
As a local legend, McGill has also been advocating for more skate parks in Encinitas, emphasizing
that skateboarding is a significant part of the community and culture.
Cheers to 40 years of the McTwist!
Now on to sports.
Last night, the Kansas City Chiefs edged the Baltimore Ravens 27-20.
Patrick Mahomes threw for two touchdowns and 281 yards, while Lamar Jackson led the Ravens
with 267 yards and a rushing touchdown.
Despite a late Baltimore push, the Chiefs' defense held strong to secure the win.
Tomorrow, the Packers will face the Eagles at Corinthians Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Jordan Love leads Green Bay in their season opener, looking to take on a tough Philadelphia
defense, while Jalen Hurts and the Eagles aim to kick off their season on a strong note.
Philadelphia enters the game as the favorite, but with injuries in their secondary, Green
Bay could capitalize if Love can find his rhythm.
And local sports.
Last night, the Padres faced off against the Tigers in a close game, falling 4-3 at Petco
Park.
The Tigers broke through with a grand slam by Parker Meadows in the sixth inning, while
the Padres' offense was powered by home runs from Juriksen Profar and Xander Bogerts, but
it wasn't enough to clinch the win.
The Padres will look to bounce back tonight against the San Francisco Giants, with Mason
Black set to take them out.
With Black posting an ERA of 7.45, the Padres' offense has a solid chance to capitalize.
Looking ahead to the Chargers, they kick off the season Sunday against the Raiders, hoping
to secure a strong start after a rough preseason.
In college football, San Diego State gears up for their matchup, with Oregon State at
Snapdragon Stadium, where the Aztecs are considered underdogs.
Meanwhile, USC takes on Utah State in Los Angeles, with the Trojans expected to dominate,
given their impressive start to the season.
In top news, a new study from Stanford University reveals that aging occurs in two significant
bursts, one in our mid-40s and another in our early 60s.
This challenges the traditional belief that aging is a gradual process.
Molecular changes during these periods can explain sudden signs of aging, like wrinkles,
sagging skin, and increased vulnerability to infections.
The study analyzed data from blood and other samples of participants aged 25 to 75, showing
that many molecular changes occur around ages 44 and 60.
Using these shifts can help individuals and health care professionals prepare for and
potentially manage the effects of aging.
In business news, investors are feeling anxious as Wall Street prepares for a significant
jobs report due today.
Inflation has eased since the Federal Reserve began increasing interest rates more than
two years ago.
Now the focus shifts to employment.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell indicated that a rate cut is likely this month, but
the extent remains uncertain.
Economists predict that employers added 160,000 jobs in August, with the unemployment rate
dropping to 4.2%.
With mixed stock performances and signs of a cooling job market, uncertainty looms large
ahead of this crucial economic data.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $56,700.
Ethereum is just under $2,400.
And Solana is $130.

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
A roughly one-meter asteroid, which is about three feet, burned up in Earth's atmosphere
over the Philippines near Luzon Island this week.
According to NASA, the impact occurred at 1239 in the afternoon Eastern time.
The European Space Agency reported that the object, now known as 2024 Ardu-1, was discovered
earlier that day.
These small asteroids hit Earth approximately every two weeks, but they are rarely detected
prior to impact.
This event marked only the ninth time an asteroid was spotted before entering the atmosphere,
creating a spectacular fireball visible to sky gazers.
Entertainment News.
On Wednesday, federal prosecutors charged a North Carolina musician, Michael Smith,
with defrauding streaming services of $10 million through an elaborate scheme involving
artificial intelligence.
Smith allegedly created hundreds of thousands of fake songs by non-existent bands, then
used bots to stream them, and collect royalties from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
The charges include wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy, with a potential 20-year prison
sentence for each charge.
Over seven years, Smith's fabricated catalog reportedly amassed billions of streams, utilizing
unique artists' names and titles to blend in with legitimate acts.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American martial artist and actor, Chuck Norris.
And he said,
I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way, and
you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles en route to whatever
it is that you want to accomplish.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos,
