In local news, an aggressive shark sighting closed San Clemente Ocean waters to beach
goers on Memorial Day.
The incident began when a surfer reported being bumped by a shark, confirmed by video
footage and shark lab analysis as a juvenile great white.
Initially, the beach was closed, but it reopened Tuesday with an advisory allowing entry at
your own risk until 8 p.m., pending no further sightings.
Now on to sports.
The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a 105-100 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Game
4 of the Western Conference Finals, preventing a sweep.
Carl Anthony Towns led a late surge, finishing with 25 points and 5 rebounds.
Anthony Edwards contributed 29 points, 10 rebounds and 9 assists.
Despite Luka Donsik's triple-double, the Mavericks fell short.
The Timberwolves, still trailing three games to one in the series, will host Game 5 in
Minneapolis on Thursday, aiming to continue their comeback and make NBA history by winning
three consecutive games.
Last night in local sports, the Padres at home beat the Marlins 4-0.
And today, the final game of the series takes place with a first pitch around 1 p.m.
In top news, nearly 2 million bottles of Fiji Natural Artesian water sold on Amazon have
been recalled due to manganese and bacterial concerns.
The recall effects bottles sold between February 1 and March 3, 2024, with production dates
in November 2023.
The FDA classified this as a Class III recall, indicating it is not likely to cause adverse
health effects.
Consumers should dispose of the affected water and contact Fiji Water for a refund.
Despite the recall, Fiji Water assures there are no ongoing health risks.
In business news, T-Mobile is set to acquire U.S. Cellular's Wireless Business for $4.4
billion, including $2 billion in debt assumption.
This deal will expand T-Mobile's coverage, especially in rural areas where 40% of U.S.
Cellular's customers reside.
The acquisition includes the lease of space on over 2,100 towers, but excludes most of
U.S. Cellular's wireless spectrum.
The deal, subject to regulatory approval, is expected to close by mid-2025.
Analysts see this as a positive move for both companies, offering T-Mobile growth opportunities
and relieving U.S. Cellular of its financial burdens.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $69,000, Ethereum is $3,800, and Solana is
$172.

And now back to the show.
Let's talk tech.
PayPal is developing an ad network leveraging customer transaction data from PayPal and
Vemo.
This platform will utilize purchase information and spending habits to target ads effectively.
Led by Mark Grether, former VP of Uber Advertising, the initiative aims to help merchants boost
sales by offering personalized product suggestions.
Although PayPal will collect data by default, customers can opt out.
The company promises transparent privacy controls.
This move follows similar strategies by Facebook, JP Morgan Chase, and Visa, who also use transaction
data for targeted advertising.
And in entertainment news, the HBO documentary MoviePass Movie Crash explores the rise and
fall of MoviePass, the movie ticket subscription service that once allowed users to see unlimited
movies for just $10 a month.
The film reveals how the company's unsustainable business model led to its bankruptcy in 2019.
It features interviews with subscribers, including a young woman who fondly recalls the service,
and delves into the controversial roles of former executives Ted Farnsworth and Mitch
Lowe, who face fraud charges.
The documentary combines animation and archival footage to tell this cautionary tale of ambition
and mismanagement.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American animator, film producer and entrepreneur Walter
Elias Disney.
He said, the way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
