In local news, Governor Gavin Newsom recently signed the assembly bill known as the Phone
Free School Act.
This legislation mandates that every school district, charter school, and county office
of education implement a policy limiting or prohibiting cell phone usage by July 1st,
2026.
Newsom stated this new law will help students focus on academics, social development, and
the world in front of them, not their screens.
San Diego Unified School Board President Shana Hazen noted that their existing policy already
restricts cell phone use during school hours, reflecting years of attention to student wellness
and learning.
Now on to sports.
Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre has revealed that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson's
disease.
This places him among the one million people living with a condition in the United States.
According to John Lair, the chief executive officer of the Parkinson's Foundation, an
estimated 90,000 people will receive this diagnosis this year alone.
Parkinson's is a progressive nervous system disorder affecting movement.
Lair noted that a combination of genetic and environmental factors, such as head injuries
and pesticide exposure, may contribute to the disease.
Notable figures like actor Michael J. Fox and boxer Muhammad Ali have also faced this
challenge.
In local sports.
Yesterday, the Padres clinched a playoff spot with a 4-2 victory over the Dodgers in L.A.
Manny Machado's two-run shot in the fourth inning, combined with Jake Cronenwerth's
RBI double, powered the Friars offense.
Joe King pitched six solid innings, allowing just one run and striking out six.
Robert Suarez earned his 35th save of the season with a nail-biting ninth inning.
Despite the efforts of Mookie Batson and Enrique Hernandez, the Dodgers couldn't overcome
the Padres' resilient pitching and timely hitting.
Tonight, the Friars face the Dodgers again in Los Angeles at 7-10.
Dillon Seas, with a 3.42 ERA, will take the mound against Jack Flaherty.
The Padres, currently with a record of 91 in 66, lead the series 1-0.
In top news, scientists have unveiled a third state of life, where dense cells take on new
functions after the organism dies.
This phenomenon, explored in a recent research review by biologists, highlights ongoing studies
into xenobots and anthrobots.
These innovative cells could potentially deliver drugs without provoking an immune response
and assist in addressing conditions like atherosclerosis and cystic fibrosis.
The concept of the third state reveals a fascinating and somewhat eerie aspect of biology, as it
shows that even in death, cells can adopt new roles, opening doors to exciting possibilities
in medical science.

The famed poet's grave, lost for over 450 years, has been discovered at Notre Dame Cathedral,
according to scientists.
This revelation emerged during a significant restoration project following the cathedral's
devastating fire in April 2019.
While archaeologists successfully identified one body from an epitaph, the second body
remained a mystery.
Now, researchers believe the remains belong to the French Renaissance poet, Joachim du
Bellet, as reported by France's National Institute of Preventive Archaeological Research.
The archaeological efforts, which commenced after the fire, continuous officials anticipate
reopening the cathedral in December.

Cameron stated,
I have spent my career seeking out emerging technologies that push the very boundaries
of what is possible, all in the service of telling incredible stories.
He emphasized that generative artificial intelligence and computer-generated imagery are the next
wave in storytelling, reflecting ongoing concerns about the impact of artificial intelligence
on society.
