city council are arbitrarily imposing a tax.

and starting positions for cars in the race.
Industry voices, including rival owner Chip Ganassi,
emphasized the importance of upholding sportsmanship
in racing. In local sports. Last night in Toronto,
the Padres fell to the Blue Jays 14 -0. Vasquez

two -thirds innings. A pivotal moment came with
Varshow's grand slam in the eighth, capping a
seven -run inning. San Diego now holds a record
of 27 -21 and are on a five -game losing streak.
Tomorrow morning, the Friars battle the Blue
Jays in Toronto for the final game of this three
-game series. Steph Kolek takes the mound against
Poudon Francis. First pitch is at 10 .07 under
the dome. In top news. Bitcoin has surged to
a new record, exceeding $109 ,500, driven by
bullish momentum and a strengthening regulatory
outlook for cryptocurrencies. As of around 5

news, during a recent Microsoft build session,
the company's head of security for artificial
intelligence, accidentally exposed confidential
information about Walmart's use of Microsoft's
AI tools. This occurred after two former employees

cloud contracts with the Israeli government.
Despite the session being muted, security inadvertently

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk science. The exciting possibility
of reversing damage to the lungs and heart is
drawing closer as scientists make remarkable
strides in regenerative medicine. After decades
of challenges, the Scripps Research Institute
in La Jolla, California is developing techniques
to stimulate the body's own stem cells to repair
crucial organs. Their groundbreaking methods
have shown promise in lab settings, restoring
dead tissue in various species and humans. As
Pete Schultz, CEO of Scripps, states, we have
the potential in the next two to three years
to show we can reverse lung damage and heart
damage. This could fundamentally change disease
treatment and improve countless lives. Mission
Impossible The Final Reckoning is a huge mess,
but it's also a fun mess. The film suffers from
solemnity overload, drowning viewers in heavy
montages and voiceovers about Ethan Hunt's sacrifices.
However, it eventually transitions into thrilling
action, showcasing impressive sequences, including
a remarkable submarine scene and a breathtaking
stunt with Tom Cruise hanging from a plane. While
the movie grapples with its identity and past
callbacks, it manages to entertain. Ultimately,
it appears that Cruise and director Christopher
McQuarrie reclaim their vision, creating a captivating,
if flawed, addition to the franchise. Well, alrighty
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And
today, our quote comes from the American inventor
and businessman, Thomas Edison. And he said,
genius is 1 % inspiration and 99 % perspiration.
