This area has a reputation for being 00:04:03.389 --> 00:04:06.810 dangerous for pedestrians, drivers and cyclists. 00:04:07.069 --> 00:04:10.150 particularly in front of Sandagito Academy High 00:04:10.150 --> 00:04:13.830 School. Community members are divided, as some 00:04:13.830 --> 00:04:16.709 feel the road is too narrow, while others prefer 00:04:16.709 --> 00:04:19.250 the current setup to avoid more construction 00:04:19.250 --> 00:04:22.990 costs. Cyclist Olivia Wheeler expressed that 00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:25.670 she appreciates the safety of the existing bike 00:04:25.670 --> 00:04:29.730 lane and separated paths. State Senator Catherine 00:04:29.730 --> 00:04:33.389 Blakespear, who previously served as mayor, emphasized 00:04:33.389 --> 00:04:36.529 the importance of safety. noting that she allocated 00:04:36.529 --> 00:04:40.689 $3 million for these improvements. The council 00:04:40.689 --> 00:04:43.250 is considering three new design options that 00:04:43.250 --> 00:04:46.250 would widen the road and eliminate angled parking, 00:04:46.649 --> 00:04:50.610 with costs ranging from $2 million to $3 .6 million. 00:04:55.750 --> 00:05:00.290 Now on to sports. The initial college football 00:05:00.290 --> 00:05:03.509 playoff rankings for the 2025 season were released 00:05:03.509 --> 00:05:08.290 with Ohio State Indiana, Texas A &M, and Alabama 00:05:08.290 --> 00:05:12.670 occupying the top four spots. The selection committee 00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:15.870 emphasized a new record strength metric to highlight 00:05:15.870 --> 00:05:19.410 competition quality, ranking Notre Dame at number 00:05:19.410 --> 00:05:23.550 10 in Miami at number 18. The highest ranked 00:05:23.550 --> 00:05:26.509 team from outside power conferences is Memphis, 00:05:26.769 --> 00:05:30.930 which did not make the top 25.

The 00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:46.339 Los Angeles Chargers made two trades on trade 00:05:46.339 --> 00:05:49.680 deadline day, but they did not match fan expectations. 00:05:50.819 --> 00:05:53.399 The team traded a future sixth -round pick for 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:56.800 2022 first -round pick Trevor Penning, who adds 00:05:56.800 --> 00:06:00.379 death to the offensive line despite his subpar 00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:03.990 performance. The Chargers also traded Josser 00:06:03.990 --> 00:06:07.449 Taylor for a 20 -28 seventh round pick, a move 00:06:07.449 --> 00:06:11.449 that will have no tangible impact. While fans 00:06:11.449 --> 00:06:13.949 hoped for a bigger splash, the Chargers lacked 00:06:13.949 --> 00:06:17.250 the cap space for significant moves, having the 00:06:17.250 --> 00:06:21.290 third least in the NFL. Ultimately, the smaller 00:06:21.290 --> 00:06:24.290 trades reflect a focus on financial flexibility 00:06:24.290 --> 00:06:30.529 and future planning. In top news, on November 00:06:30.529 --> 00:06:35.220 6th, In 2025, United States Transportation Secretary 00:06:35.220 --> 00:06:39.199 Sean Duffy announced a 10 % cut in flights at 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:42.800 40 major United States airports due to air traffic 00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.620 control safety concerns amid a government shutdown 00:06:45.620 --> 00:06:50.079 that reached a record 36 -day.

Duffy indicated 00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:04.149 that cuts could be reversed if Democrats agree 00:07:04.149 --> 00:07:07.449 to reopen the government. Airlines are scrambling 00:07:07.449 --> 00:07:10.329 to adjust schedules, with significant reductions 00:07:10.329 --> 00:07:14.889 expected within 36 hours. The Federal Aviation 00:07:14.889 --> 00:07:18.870 Administration is about 3 ,500 air traffic controllers 00:07:18.870 --> 00:07:23.310 short of targeted staffing levels. In business 00:07:23.310 --> 00:07:27.250 news, there is a new way to get a loan, but it 00:07:27.250 --> 00:07:31.329 comes at a cost. creditors have a new obsession. 00:07:32.350 --> 00:07:34.310 When you are turned down for a loan due to a 00:07:34.310 --> 00:07:36.889 low credit score, the lender may reconsider if 00:07:36.889 --> 00:07:40.370 you allow them access to your bank account. Financial 00:07:40.370 --> 00:07:42.670 companies are racing to analyze your day -to 00:07:42.670 --> 00:07:45.550 -day transactions, hoping to fill in gaps left 00:07:45.550 --> 00:07:49.310 by traditional credit scores. While open banking 00:07:49.310 --> 00:07:52.149 is optional, major lenders are embracing this 00:07:52.149 --> 00:07:56.519 trend, raising concerns about privacy. Some lenders 00:07:56.519 --> 00:07:59.000 claim that this access can help expand credit 00:07:59.000 --> 00:08:02.139 opportunities for those with thin credit histories. 00:08:03.259 --> 00:08:05.879 However, it also invites potential surveillance 00:08:05.879 --> 00:08:09.879 into your financial life.

Success is the doing, not the getting, 00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:24.279 and the trying, not the triumph. Success is a 00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.919 personal standard, reaching for the highest that 00:11:26.919 --> 00:11:31.659 is in us, becoming all that we can be.
