looking clean with waves around 2 to 4 feet.

slightly to 2 to 3 plus feet later in the afternoon
as the wind picks up. Best time to ride is at

In business news, getting an MBA in the United
States has become more expensive and less profitable.
A Bloomberg analysis shows that the return on
investment fell at four out of five business
goals, as pay after graduation has stagnated.
This year's update projects a typical return
on investment of 12 .3 % a year, down from 13
.3 % last year. The main reason for this decline
is that projected post -degree earnings increased
only 1 .7%. Syracuse University's Whitman School
of Management experienced the sharpest decline
as tuition and expenses rose significantly. Tulane
University's Freeman School of Business saw its
return on investment double thanks to a rise
in compensation and crypto movement. Bitcoin
is up 7 % for the week to $120 ,000. Ethereum
is up 9 % to just under $4 ,500. And XRP is up
5 % to $3 .01. Moving on to a more local vibe.

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now, back to the
show. Let's talk. Tech. Okanai's Sora has skyrocketed
to third place on the App Store. Currently, Okanai
has two apps in the top three, but it still trails
behind Gemini due to the sustained success of
Google's Nano Banana image model. On September
30th, Okanai released Sora, a social app powered
by a revamped version of its original generative
video model. Despite being invite -only, the
app gained considerable momentum, with 56 ,000
installs in the United States on its first day
and 108 ,000 installs on its second day. Interestingly,
two out of the current top three apps heavily
rely on multimodality, suggesting users may prefer
image and video -based AI features. Shane Black
believes Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Dr.
Doom will single -handedly reinvigorate comic
book movies. Downey is returning to the Marvel
spotlight, but this time, he is not suiting up
as Iron Man. He will take on the iconic villain
role in Marvel Studios' upcoming film, Avengers
Doomsday. Black expressed his excitement about
Downey's casting during a promotion for his movie,
Play Dirty. Despite skepticism from fans and
critics, many think Downey's return could be
just what Marvel needs to regain momentum. If
the film delivers, it might reshape how legacy
actors are utilized in superhero storytelling.
