schedule for the 2025 -26 season on September
8th. The Aztecs will host six non -conference

like Gonzaga at Vieva Serena. Head coach Brian
Dutcher noted that while they attempted to arrange
a home -and -home series with a big program,
they had no success this year. However, they
will face UCLA in an exhibition game on October

to sports. J .J. McCarthy struggled early. But
his run game helped spur a come -from -behind
win over the Chicago Bears. The Minnesota Vikings
began their new era at quarterback with a thrilling
27 -24 victory over their NFC North rival. While
McCarthy will receive attention for his debut,
it was the Vikings' defense that kept them in
the game. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams completed
his first 10 passes, but the offense stalled,
not scoring again until late in the fourth quarter.
McCarthy accounted for three touchdowns, showcasing
his ability to win. Next, the Vikings face the
Atlanta Falcons. The Bears will play the Detroit
Lions in local sports. Last night at Petco Park,

days of admiring new stamps in your passport

away from passport stamps in favor of digital
alternatives that are more secure and efficient.
This transition is already occurring in some
places with more airports expected to follow.
Experts suggest that while this change may feel
emotional, It aims to streamline travel and enhance
border security. Countries like Australia and
Singapore have already adopted digital systems.
By October, the European Union will begin implementing
its new biometric entry and exit system. In business
news, U .S. clothing retailers are testing a
full price strategy as affluent shoppers continue
spending, with little pushback so far. Stock
market gains are benefiting wealthy consumers,
prompting retailers like Levi Strauss to introduce
more full -price products. Levi's chief financial
officer, Harmit Singh, noted there has been no
demand slowdown despite price increases. The
Levi's consumer largely earns $100 ,000 and over,
he said. Ralph Lauren Under Armour and Abercrombie
and Fitch are also embracing this strategy. According

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now back to the show. Let's talk
science. PFAS can repel water, oil, sweat. dirt
and heat, making them ideal for outdoor gear.
But what about the impacts of these forever chemicals
on the environment and human health? The first
PFAS were developed in the 1930s and have since
been used in countless consumer goods. Their
harmful effects on the environment and human
health are increasingly being recognized. Last
year, 59 leading scientists urged the UK government
to regulate PFAS. Studies link PFAS contamination
to increased cancer risks and reproductive issues.
Despite some brands transitioning to PFAS -free
products, a report found that 82 % still use
PFAS. Legislation is tightening globally, with
bans now in effect or planned in several regions.
Consumers can support brands that have made the
switch to PFAS -free alternatives. The most ecologically
sustainable products are the ones we already
own. The entertainment news. Nuremberg is generating
Oscar buzz, with Russell Crowe delivering his
best work since Cinderella Man, as Leo Woodall
emerges as a breakout contender. James Vanderbilt's
courtroom drama Nuremberg, rooted in history,
is a timely and awards -worthy film. It interrogates
the foundations of justice in today's political
landscape. Crowe's portrayal of Herman Goring
is commanding, capturing his paradoxical charisma
and monstrosity. Woodall, best known for The
White Lotus, delivers an emotional performance
as a translator. The film's crisp production
design and unique screenplay position it as a
possible best picture candidate, reflecting the
fierce urgency of now. Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the American inventor and
visionary Charles F. Kettering. And he said,
the world hates change, yet it is the only thing
that has brought progress. And that's a wrap
for this morning. You can check out our Instagram,
YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial
videos with local news and the surf reports.
