Space Shuttle Columbia flew the second flight
of the Space Transportation System. With two
astronauts aboard, completing experiments and
demonstrating that a reusable orbital vehicle
could be turned around for another mission. That
achievement marked a major milestone in human
spaceflight by proving the viability of repeated
access to orbit and inspiring confidence in routine
scientific and technological operations from
space. So now you know. And now... It's time
for the surf report. Wednesday at Tourmaline.
This morning it's looking clean with waves at
two to three plus feet. Conditions will shift
to fair by mid -morning and become choppy after
that. Winds are currently offshore at three miles
per hour, but will turn onshore as the day goes
on, hitting up to eight miles per hour. Best
time to ride is at 6 a .m. with a four -foot
outgoing high tide when the southwest swell is
one and a half feet at 14 seconds and the offshore

on Wednesday will be three feet at 930 a .m.
followed by a four and a half foot high tide
at three. The nearshore buoy at Mission Bay West
reads 67 degrees for the water temperature. Conditions
start off fair with waves around 2 to 4 feet
and light winds on Thursday. Friday sees a noticeable
increase in size, reaching 4 to 6 feet, but choppy
conditions prevail due to stronger winds. Saturday
continues with similar choppy conditions, though
size drops slightly to 3 to 5 feet, making Friday
the standout day for surf this period. This morning,
there's patchy fog. and it feels like 65 degrees

like we're in for some patchy fog before 10 a

high 30s this week. The Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission states that iguanas become
sluggish below 50 degrees. When temperatures
drop into the 30s and 40s, they can freeze, lose
their grip, and fall. National Weather Service

and MasterCard Incorporated have reached a new
settlement agreement with a group of merchants,
potentially impacting credit card rewards for
consumers. The proposed settlement would allow
stores to limit their acceptance of rewards cards,
which typically incur higher fees. Merchants
could choose to accept all cards or just specific
categories, including commercial, premium consumer
credit, and standard credit cards. This flexibility
could lead to merchants blocking premium cards
to reduce costs. While analysts suggest this
may upset affluent consumers, It could also provide
merchants with significant relief. The settlement

Sunny Morning sent you by. And now back to the
show. Let's talk tech. Boocal is warning its
2 .5 billion Gmail users to enhance their security.
While there are claims of a breach, the real
advice is to stop using passwords altogether.
The issue stems from a breach at Salesforce,
where attackers accessed business -related Gmail
data, not actual credentials. With this data,
phishing attacks have become more sophisticated.
Hookle emphasizes that users should never share
their passwords, even with trusted individuals.
Instead, users are encouraged to switch to pass
keys or two -factor authentication for better
security. Stain vigilant is key, as breaches
can compromise accounts indirectly. DC Studios

movie spinoff. The series will center on Olsen
and other Daily Planet reporters tackling cases

a super -intelligent evil ape. is a key antagonist
for The Flash, first appearing in comics in 1959.

while Galin Vazman oversees for DC. Well, alrighty
folks, it's time for the quote of the day. And

said, but the triumph over it. And that's a wrap
