swell is one feet at 12 seconds and the sightshore
wind is one mile per hour. The first high tide
on Tuesday will be 5 .5 feet at 11 .45 a .m.,
followed by a half -foot low tide at 7 .15. The
nearshore buoy at Beacons reads 64 degrees for
the water temperature. Conditions remain clean

this significant game. Both teams entered with
6 -6 records, but arrived at them in completely
opposite ways. With less than three minutes to
go, quarterback Lamar Jackson appeared to find
tight end Isaiah Likeley for a 13 -yard touchdown.

-handed pitcher has shown impressive strikeout
numbers. rising from 9 .5 strikeouts per 9 innings
to 12 .5 per inning. This signing reflects the
Padres' strategy for building their 2026 roster,
as they seek to enhance their already strong
bullpen and address other line of needs. In top
news, the Supreme Court appeared poised Monday
to expand the president's power to fire heads
of many regulatory agencies. despite one pivotal
justice expressing a desire to insulate the Federal
Reserve from political pressure. During two and
a half hours of oral arguments, justices probed
the limits of President Trump's assertion of
virtually unfettered authority to remove agency
leaders. Justice Brett Kavanaugh raised concerns
about a broad victory for Trump jeopardizing
the independence of the Federal Reserve's Board
of Governors. Justice Alina Kagan warned that
increasing presidential power could undermine
civil service protections for federal employees.
Rulings in both cases are expected by July. In

intelligence stocks unfolds, and it has nothing

show. Let's talk science and invisible force.
has long eluded detection within the halls of
the world's most famous particle accelerator
until now. Scientists at CERN, in Switzerland
and Boothy University Frankfurt, have announced
the isolation of a resonant ghost that affects
particle behavior inside this super proton synchrotron.
This three -dimensional shape shifts over time,
best measured in four dimensions. The ghost arises
from resonance. where energy waves interact,
leading to beam degradation. Understanding this
phenomenon is crucial to avoiding particle loss
in accelerator physics. Their findings aim to
help develop strategies to mitigate these effects
in future particle accelerators. Lawrence Fishburne
is looking to step back behind the camera and
is currently developing a directing project,
The Rule of Nines, with producer and casting
director Bonnie Timmerman and actor Andre Holland.
