Now on to sports. The Baltimore Ravens lost 27
-22 to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, and
one controversial call in the fourth quarter
played a major role in this significant game.
Both teams entered with 6 -6 records, but arrived
at them in completely opposite ways. With less
than three minutes to go, quarterback Lamar Jackson
appeared to find tight end Isaiah likely for
a 13 -yard touchdown. Initially ruled a touchdown,
the call was overturned upon review, as likely
did not make a football move. The Steelers held
on for the win, moving to 7 -6, while the Ravens
fell to 10th place and are now two games behind
the Indianapolis Colts for the final playoff
spot. And last night on Monday Night Football,
the Chargers pulled ahead in overtime to defeat
the Philadelphia Eagles in a thrilling 22 -19
win. This victory marked the biggest win of the
season for a Chargers team that seemed to be
spiraling out of playoff contention. Quarterback
Justin Herbert, just a week after surgery on
a fracture in his left hand, rushed for 66 yards.
The Chargers defense forced five turnovers from
Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hertz, including a crucial
interception in overtime. Next, the Chargers
face the Kansas City Chiefs. while the Eagles
meet the Las Vegas Raiders in local sports. Major

league reliever Dyson Acosta to a one -year contract.
The 27 -year -old right -handed pitcher has shown
impressive strikeout numbers, rising from 9 .5
strikeouts per nine innings to 12 .5 per inning.
This signing reflects the Padres' strategy for
building their 20 -26 roster, as they seek to
enhance their already strong bullpen and address
other line of needs. In top news... The Supreme
Court appeared poised Monday to expand the president's
power to fire heads of many regulatory agencies,
despite one pivotal justice expressing a desire
to insulate the Federal Reserve from political
pressure. During two and a half hours of oral
arguments, justices probed the limits of President
Trump's assertion of virtually unfettered authority
to remove agency leaders. Justice Brett Kavanaugh
raised concerns about a broad victory for Trump
jeopardizing the independence of the Federal
Reserve's Board of Governors. Justice Alina Kagan
warned that increasing presidential power could
undermine civil service protections for federal
employees. Rulings in both cases are expected
by July. In business news, this week, a key moment
for artificial intelligence stocks unfolds. and
it has nothing to do with NVIDIA. Oracle's earnings

signals from key companies. Oracle reports its

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, Back to the show. Let's talk
science. An invisible force has long eluded detection
within the halls of the world's most famous particle
accelerator until now. Scientists at CERN, in
Switzerland and Boothy University, Frankfurt,
have announced the isolation of a resonant ghost
that affects particle behavior inside this super
proton synchrotron. This three -dimensional shape
shifts over time, best measured in four dimensions.
The ghost arises from resonance where energy
waves interact, leading to beam degradation.
Understanding this phenomenon is crucial to avoiding
particle loss in accelerator physics. Their findings
aim to help develop strategies to mitigate these
effects in future particle accelerators. Entertainment
news. Lawrence Fishburne is looking to step back
behind the camera and is currently developing
a directing project, The Rule of Nines, with
producer and casting director Bonnie Timmerman
and actor Andre Holland. John Connor wrote the
script. Fishburne expresses, the fact that I
have been making films since I was 11 or 12 means
that I am a filmmaker. He adds, this may be the
moment where I move into the director space in
a real, consistent kind of way. Fishfirm will
return for the fifth and final season of The
Witcher, which he anticipates will probably be
streaming next year, probably around the same
time, like Halloween. Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day. And today,
our quote comes from the Indian political leader
