In local 00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:11.139 news, county officials have issued new beach 00:04:11.139 --> 00:04:13.979 management actions this week, including a partial 00:04:13.979 --> 00:04:16.860 closure near Mission Bay. due to potential health 00:04:16.860 --> 00:04:20.699 concerns. The San Diego County Department of 00:04:20.699 --> 00:04:23.720 Environmental Health and Quality has issued a 00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:26.620 water contact closure for the shoreline due to 00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:30.819 a sewage release. The closure extends 150 feet 00:04:30.819 --> 00:04:34.040 left and right of the storm drain and will remain 00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:37.240 in place until water samples confirm safety for 00:04:37.240 --> 00:04:41.379 contact. Updated beach and bay statuses can be 00:04:41.379 --> 00:04:44.160 found on the county's beach and bay water quality 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:53.540 program web page. Now on to sports. The National 00:04:53.540 --> 00:04:56.560 Football League has upheld DK Metcalf's two -game 00:04:56.560 --> 00:05:00.519 suspension after his appeal. The Pittsburgh Steelers 00:05:00.519 --> 00:05:03.839 receiver will miss the Week 17 and Week 18 games 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.680 for initiating a physical confrontation with 00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:10.399 a fan. Metcalf's suspension will cost him more 00:05:10.399 --> 00:05:16.180 than $555 ,000 in salary for those games. His 00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:19.279 contract guarantees were also voided due to conduct 00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:22.699 detrimental to the league. Coach Mike Tomlin 00:05:22.699 --> 00:05:25.459 expressed support for Metcalf, stating he has 00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:29.699 been a great teammate. With Metcalf absent, the 00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:32.439 Steelers will rely on midseason additions and 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:36.639 other receivers to step up. In local sports, 00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:41.050 Denzel Perryman's two -game suspension for repeated 00:05:41.050 --> 00:05:43.949 violations of playing rules intended to protect 00:05:43.949 --> 00:05:46.949 the health and safety of players was upheld by 00:05:46.949 --> 00:05:50.949 hearing officer Geordie Nelson on Tuesday. This 00:05:50.949 --> 00:05:53.769 decision came after the league announced Perryman's 00:05:53.769 --> 00:05:56.670 suspension without pay, citing multiple rules 00:05:56.670 --> 00:06:00.310 violations. In the Chargers' recent win against 00:06:00.310 --> 00:06:03.209 the Dallas Cowboys, Perryman was flagged for 00:06:03.209 --> 00:06:06.129 unnecessary roughness after a helmet -to -helmet 00:06:06.129 --> 00:06:10.139 hit on a player. With Perryman absent, the Chargers 00:06:10.139 --> 00:06:12.839 will rely on linebacker Troy Dye among others, 00:06:13.279 --> 00:06:15.879 as they aim to clinch the AFC West title for 00:06:15.879 --> 00:06:23.100 the first time since 2009.

But everyday 00:06:30.620 --> 00:06:33.399 bettors were the real losers, as sportsbooks 00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:36.779 had a profitable night. Joshua knocked out Paul 00:06:36.779 --> 00:06:39.519 in the sixth round, while betters heavily favored 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:44.579 Paul with 86 % of wagers placed on him. Draftkings 00:06:44.579 --> 00:06:47.879 noted a significant liability if Paul had won, 00:06:48.100 --> 00:06:52.139 but they celebrated Joshua's victory. Alex Rella 00:06:52.139 --> 00:06:55.160 from Bet and Jam stated it was the best boxing 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:58.699 outcome of the year. Paul acknowledged his defeat 00:06:58.699 --> 00:07:01.819 while claiming a broken jaw, expressing respect 00:07:01.819 --> 00:07:06.680 for Joshua as a true fighter.

Scientists just made 00:09:00.529 --> 00:09:03.669 teleportation a reality with this groundbreaking 00:09:03.669 --> 00:09:07.610 experiment. Researchers successfully beamed quantum 00:09:07.610 --> 00:09:10.409 information for the first time, which could change 00:09:10.409 --> 00:09:14.370 your life forever. A research team from the University 00:09:14.370 --> 00:09:17.730 of Stuttgart in Germany recently teleported quantum 00:09:17.730 --> 00:09:20.509 information, as published in the journal Nature 00:09:20.509 --> 00:09:24.210 Communications this November. This scientific 00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:27.379 leap could lead to a quantum internet offering 00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:30.340 infinitely more secure information transmission. 00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:35.559 Dehadashilam, PhD, states that an entangled network 00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:38.639 of quantum computers could enable unhackable 00:09:38.639 --> 00:09:42.820 messages and solve complex problems. Although 00:09:42.820 --> 00:09:45.580 currently limited, these findings are a crucial 00:09:45.580 --> 00:09:48.899 step toward bridging greater distances in quantum 00:09:48.899 --> 00:09:57.370 communication. Jack Black is returning to voice 00:09:57.370 --> 00:10:00.830 Bowser for the Super Mario Galaxy movie, and 00:10:00.830 --> 00:10:04.450 he is teasing the upcoming film. Although he 00:10:04.450 --> 00:10:07.250 could not disclose much about the animated adaptation, 00:10:07.750 --> 00:10:10.529 the Orange County actor stated that video gamers 00:10:10.529 --> 00:10:13.690 who have played Super Mario Galaxy will enjoy 00:10:13.690 --> 00:10:17.470 it. I am sworn to secrecy, but there are tons 00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:20.370 of Easter eggs, and anyone who loves that universe 00:10:20.370 --> 00:10:22.669 will be very pleased with the way it has been 00:10:22.669 --> 00:10:26.389 brought to the big screen. Black told GamesRadar. 00:10:27.009 --> 00:10:30.649 The film opens in theaters on April 3rd, 2026. 00:10:32.049 --> 00:10:34.570 Returning voice actors include Chris Pratt as 00:10:34.570 --> 00:10:38.610 Mario, Ania Taylor -Joy as Princess Peach, and 00:10:38.610 --> 00:10:43.009 others. Well, all righty, folks. It's time for 00:10:43.009 --> 00:10:46.990 the quote of the day. And today, our quote comes 00:10:46.990 --> 00:10:50.870 from the American author and humorist Mark Twain. 00:10:51.590 --> 00:10:54.639 And he said... The best way to cheer yourself 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:57.720 is to try to cheer someone else up, capturing 00:10:57.720 --> 00:11:00.519 the essence of holiday warmth and generosity. 00:11:02.279 --> 00:11:05.419 And that's a wrap for this morning. You can check 00:11:05.419 --> 00:11:08.940 out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some 00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:12.419 captivating aerial videos with local news and 00:11:12.419 --> 00:11:15.919 the surf reports.
