Oceanside Police have increased patrols in parts of the city frequented by the homeless as a result of three recent assaults – two of which were fatal.

Both had suffered blunt force injuries. The third, non-fatal assault was a stabbing on September 18 near the location of Sunday’s incident.

In Major League Baseball – The Padres are a win away from advancing to the NL pennant series. They lead the Dodgers two games to one going into tonight’s Game Four at Petco Park as a result of last night’s 6-5 win. All six Padres runs came in the bottom of the second inning, including a two-run homer by Fernando Tatis Jr. The Dodgers answered back with four runs in the top of the 3rd. Padres pitching shut them down after that. Michael King got the win, throwing five innings. Robert Suarez got the save. Tonight’s starting pitcher will be Dylan Cease for San Diego. LA hasn’t named their starter yet. If the Padres lose tonight, the series will be decided Friday in LA. In the NL East, the Mets beat the Phillies in New York 7-2, taking a two games to one lead in that series. Game Four is tonight along with Games Three for both AL divisional series. They’re both tied at a game apiece.
The last building from the mob era in Las Vegas has given way for the construction of the newest building in the professional sports era for Sin City. At 2:30 this morning, the third-oldest casino on the Strip, the Tropicana was imploded to clear land that will become the new $1.5b baseball stadium home of the former Oakland A’s. In true Vegas style, the 22-second implosion was turned into a spectacle. That’s became a local tradition ever since casino mogul Steve Wynn took down the Dunes on live TV in 1993, making it look like pirate ships from his casino across the street were firing on it. The Dunes stood where the Bellagio is now. www.morningbrew.com

In a court filing last night, the US Department of Justice said it may recommend dismantling Google’s core businesses, separating the Google search engine from Android, Chrome and the Google Play app store. The filing said this would prevent Google from using the various products and features of each division in preference over rivals or new entrants. It’s the first time the DOJ has made such a recommendation since AT&T was broken up into the so-called Baby Bells more than 40 years ago. A federal judge ruling in August saying Google was in violation of anti-trust law set the stage for the proposed changes. Google has responded with a blog post calling the plan “radical” and saying that it would make the customer experience worse, “break” Android and Chrome, hamper AI innovation, and force additional sharing of personal information, undermining user privacy. The company summarized, saying there would be unintended consequences for consumers, businesses, and American competitiveness. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/09/tech/us-government-considers-a-breakup-of-google/index.html

Melinda French Gates today announced a new $250m fund to improve women’s mental and physical health. Action for Women’s Health was launched through her philanthropic organization, Pivotal Ventures.

New technology is set to overcome the “last mile” problem for high-speed communications. The critical last leg for access to broadband ranging from a few hundred feet to several miles is often too expensive or too difficult to build. The problem is greatest in rural and remote areas. “Free space optics” which use lasers to transfer data through the air are a possible solution. FSO was pioneered by NASA in the 1960s. But it’s always faced an unavoidable obstacle here on Earth … weather. Fog, rain and even simple air turbulence can disrupt the signal. Virginia-based Attochron say’s it’s ready to launch a commercial version after 20 years of development. Its short bursts of laser light, rather than a steady beam are said to be the solution to the strict, unimpeded line-of-sight problem. Attochron hardware is considerably cheaper than fiber optics cables – $30k for a 10 Gigabit link on something like a cell tower, compared to six to seven figures for dedicated fiber cable, which also requires lengthy right of way and permitting negotiations. Even at $30k, it’s suitable only for businesses. So, Attochron will sell links to broadband providers and carriers who will install them and charge a monthly fee to businesses. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/09/tech/lasers-fso-internet-attochron-spc/index.html
Hoping to revive sales of the brand, PepsiCo is giving “Mtn Dew” a makeover and putting the word “mountain” back on cans and bottles of the various flavors and versions of the soft drink. It had changed the word to an abbreviation two decades ago when it began trying to appeal to the energy drink crowd. Demand for Pepsi’s carbonated beverages in North American has been slowing across the board, but there’s been a sharper decline in volume for Mountain Dew – down 7% in the first half of 2024, according to the trade publication Beverage Digest. The new, fully spelled-out Mountain Dew logo will include a nod to the drink’s creation in 1948 as a mixer in the Smokey Mountains of Tennessee. https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/09/food/mountain-dew-new-logo-packaging/index.html
