In local news, a new citrus quarantine has been declared in Fallbrook following the detection
of hüenglömbing, also known as citrus screening, in one mandarin tree during a routine inspection.
This bacterial disease poses a significant threat to the region's estimated annual citrus
crop worth $138 million and can affect local citrus tree owners.
The quarantine impacts over 450 businesses, including more than 100 growers with approximately
830 acres of commercial citrus.
San Diego County Agricultural Commissioner Ha Dang emphasized the importance of cooperation
to prevent the disease from spreading.
Now on to sports.

as they aim to pull off the upset.

In local sports.
Last night, the Padres dominated the Astros 4-0 thanks to a brilliant pitching performance
from Dylan Cease, who carried a shutout into the ninth inning.
The offense came alive in the eighth as Manny Machado, Fernando Tatis Jr., and Donovan Solano
hit back-to-back-to-back home runs.
Machado's first homer in the sixth set the tone for the late-game barrage.
With the win, the Padres improved to 87-66, remaining three-and-a-half games behind the
Dodgers in the NL West.
The Padres are off tonight, but will host the Chicago White Sox tomorrow at Petco Park.
Joe Musgrove takes the mound for the Friars, facing Garrett Krushet.
First pitch is at 6.40.
In top news, the Federal Reserve has made its first interest rate cut in four years,
signaling a shift in its longstanding policy of rate hikes.
Chief economist Joe Brugioia stated, this will improve the material well-being of all
Americans.
The Fed lowered rates by a half percentage point, which will impact hiring, inflation,
the housing market, stocks, and borrowing costs.
Michael Matowicz, principal economist at the Roosevelt Institute, emphasized that this
rate cut is great news for the middle class, indicating a recovery towards sustainable
economic growth and increased job creation opportunities.
In business news, in a significant move, Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy,
announced on Wednesday that the company has increased its convertible senior notes offering
from $700 million to $875 million.
This funding will enable MicroStrategy to acquire even more Bitcoin.
However, the announcement had an immediate impact on the market, with the stock price
of MicroStrategy dipping over 1% in response.
As the company continues its aggressive strategy in the cryptocurrency space, investors are
closely monitoring these developments.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $62,000, Ethereum is just under $2,400, and
Solana is $139.

Let's talk tech.
TCL is facing serious allegations this month after tests on three of its televisions,
marketed as quantum-dot TBs, reportedly showed no evidence of actual quantum dots.
Quantum dots are tiny semiconductor particles that emit various colors of light when exposed
to specific frequencies.
They enhance the color range on premium televisions and monitors.
If TCL is found to be misrepresenting standard televisions as quantum-dot models, it could
lead to significant scandals, erode consumer trust, and prompt legal consequences.
However, conflicting test results and skepticism about TCL's ability to execute such a scam
raise questions about the validity of these accusations.
Entertainment news.
Hence, about a sequel to Constantine have been circulating for years, although it was
not a top priority due to Keanu Reeves' commitments to other projects.
The film, released in 2005, became a cult favorite, sparking genuine interest in a follow-up.
Director Francis Lawrence showed interest in 2011, while Peter Stormare seemingly confirmed
it in 2020.
By 2021, Reeves indicated he had tried to progress the project.
Finally, in 2022, Warner Bros. confirmed the sequel is underway, with Reeves and Lawrence
returning.
More details are eagerly anticipated.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American novelist and journalist, Ernest Hemingway.
And he said,
What man is not made for defeat?
A man can be destroyed, but not defeated.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
