This announcement comes as a part of the recently passed agriculture appropriations bill, unveiling package aimed at supporting catfish processing and saving other species within the bay.<br /><br />Blue catfish, recognized as a major predator threatening the bay's ecosystem, preying on crabs, rockfish, and oysters, have long been a concern for fisheries. In response, federal funding provisions within the bill will channel resources to Maryland, forming a comprehensive four-part package to address the issue.<br /></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLu41coI7fRRLfvEkIVfkoA6DkqdRGKnUwWW0QQj2wbCWfetSWHRTupVcrHGdi1ceQehIcs3_3vKR3Ur8O7-WyQQYiZIefAvVQwvxYtUkt5jQAIBLnAnZSYdhbMDnwt2pEIDenWPzXuNEsX4Za6R_-ZvJMfHAZXjUh6E9obKPbkXFczriBSNDSUEHfCk/s960/424643916_18414952048063518_6621112801027135156_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="768" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXLu41coI7fRRLfvEkIVfkoA6DkqdRGKnUwWW0QQj2wbCWfetSWHRTupVcrHGdi1ceQehIcs3_3vKR3Ur8O7-WyQQYiZIefAvVQwvxYtUkt5jQAIBLnAnZSYdhbMDnwt2pEIDenWPzXuNEsX4Za6R_-ZvJMfHAZXjUh6E9obKPbkXFczriBSNDSUEHfCk/s320/424643916_18414952048063518_6621112801027135156_n.jpg" width="256" /></a></div><p></p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">"One way to control it is to eat it.

Because we're focused on processing, marketing, and ensuring around-the-clock operations," stated Senator Chris Van Hollen.<br /><br />Nick Hargrove, owner of the Eastern Shore's only USDA-certified blue catfish processing facility, emphasized the importance of stability in the industry.

The Department of Natural Resources unveiled a new initiative called the Department of Invasive Species Program, specifically targeting the eradication of blue catfish. Maryland Secretary of Natural Resources, Josh Kurtz, emphasized the program's focus on understanding catfish biology and its ecosystem impact to develop effective management strategies.<br /><br />"It will allow us to really look at the biology of the catfish, the ecosystem itself, and focus on the actions that we can take at the department and how we can support the ecosystem of others that are doing the work too," Kurtz explained.</blockquote><p>It might help to build the market a little, but I think we can safely predict that the Blue Catfish in the Chesapeake Bay will survive the assault of the bureaucrats. </p>Fritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08403113111574246294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840710415146608121.post-17908398997986875102024-03-18T11:25:00.007-04:002024-03-18T15:39:24.017-04:00Flotsam and Jetsam - Trump Predicts Bloodbath!<p>

Lab grown coffee? From Science Daily, <a href="https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2023/12/231212112318.htm" target="_blank">A new brew: Evaluating the flavor of roasted, lab-grown coffee cells</a></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">
It may soon be time to wake up and smell the lab-grown coffee made from
cultured plant cells. But it's not clear whether drinks from this product
replicate coffee beans' complex flavors. Now, a study in ACS' Journal of
Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that some of the comforting aromas and
tastes of a conventional cup of coffee could be reproduced by roasting and
brewing coffee cell cultures.<br /><br />Coffee is one of the most popular
beverages worldwide. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 23
billion pounds of beans are expected to be produced during the 2023-24 growing
season. However, coffee cultivation is increasingly threatened by a
warming climate because the plants grow only at specific temperatures and
altitudes.<br /><br />Researchers have been investigating lab-grown coffee
plant cells since the 1970s as an alternative to farmed beans, but little
research has evaluated how laboratory products taste and smell compared to
traditional beans. So, Hieko Rischer and coworkers tested how roasting
coffee plant cells impacts them and the beverage made from them.<br /><br />The
team first cultured cells from chopped Coffea arabica leaves in a
laboratory-scale bioreactor. Then the cells were freeze-dried, ground
into a fine powder and roasted under three different conditions. Longer
roasting times produced colors similar to dark roast coffee beans; the
researchers mentioned this was important for flavor perception.<br /><br />Additionally,
the current lab-grown powders contained twice as much caffeine as previous
bioreactor coffee products, although the current powders' levels were much
lower than those in farmed beans. The team brewed beverages with the
roasted cell cultures or dark roast C. arabica beans and served them to
trained taste-testers.<br /><br />The following conclusions were
drawn:<br /><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Panelists identified similar levels of bitterness and sourness in
lab-grown and conventional drinks.</li><li>The new brews had more roasted, burned
sugar, and smokey smells.</li><li>Some Maillard reaction products that give
coffee its distinct flavor, such as guaiacol and several pyrazines, weren't
found in the cell-based drinks, though other Maillard reaction products were
present.

Commercial landings of blue catfish have grown from 609,525 pounds in 2013 to 4.2 million pounds in 2023, more than a 500% increase in the past decade.

Maryland anglers are lucky to have these competitive fishing opportunities, which have low barriers to entry and can even educate new anglers on tactics and methods for catching catfish and northern snakehead.”</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj670TSQFrEZruKYjSO3WTHgTU4jzmn_dgjCIEnNN71xFZ2QGHCl0Q06GiNje9-Kpr7scSpszHdfi2RiJVYxtUebwL8hbuhOx4UDJOJIEU8l7MOkvfTZvlYrgSi2iQjzxCxiQZrZqxiGcXhPz610SfeK-d6a05-_vOudvz7WbuMmLnBjOh75afaQ0yiOI0" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="753" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj670TSQFrEZruKYjSO3WTHgTU4jzmn_dgjCIEnNN71xFZ2QGHCl0Q06GiNje9-Kpr7scSpszHdfi2RiJVYxtUebwL8hbuhOx4UDJOJIEU8l7MOkvfTZvlYrgSi2iQjzxCxiQZrZqxiGcXhPz610SfeK-d6a05-_vOudvz7WbuMmLnBjOh75afaQ0yiOI0" width="251" /></a></div><br /><p></p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Below is a partial list of upcoming Maryland tournaments and other events that feature blue catfish and other invasive species targeting.

Juvenile crime rates over the past couple of years have been increasingly worrisome, with armed auto thefts and carjackings increasing in number. Responding to the outcry, the Maryland legislature has prepared a package of crimefighting bills to send to Democratic Governor Wes Moore. But the plan has its opponents, driven by the usual list of suspects. They assembled near the Maryland State House on Thursday<a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/03/14/advocates-call-on-legislature-governor-to-scrap-juvenile-justice-legislation/"> to raise their complaints</a> about the legislature "targeting youths" unfairly. One public defender addressed the crowd, claiming that the bill fails to "provide the kind of help that kids need and deserve." (Baltimore Sun)<br /><blockquote>Civil rights advocates gathered in Annapolis on Thursday afternoon to call on lawmakers to strip the legislature’s intricate juvenile justice bill of its punitive measures.<br /><br />“This bill is not backed by evidence-based practices, it does not have the endorsement of a credible commission of experts, and it does not provide the kind of help that kids need and deserve,” Erin Seagears, an assistant public defender for Anne Arundel County, said. “Our kids who need our help, this bill harms them.”<br /><br />The small coalition of advocates assembled at Lawyers Mall outside of the Maryland State House to ask lawmakers to strike all of the bill’s measures aside from the creation of a commission to study juvenile justice best practices. Should the legislature decline, the bill’s opposition plans to demand that Gov. Wes Moore, a Democrat, vetoes it.</blockquote>You can read some of the details about the changes to the law <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/02/01/maryland-gov-wes-moore-legislative-leaders-release-juvenile-justice-bill-to-increase-accountability/">here</a>. Most of the changes focus on accountability and tracking. One element would make it mandatory for police officers to fill out and complete a written record each time a juvenile is taken into custody. That doesn't happen today in too many cases, so when a repeat offender is picked up, they system may not be able to identify them as such. The goal is to increase the threshold for them to be released again and identify those who are potentially more dangerous or may require intervention at home to get them out of a bad situation.<br /><br />The bill would also provide $43 million for a new tracking system that would identify youths who "interact" with multiple state agencies, including law enforcement. It would also double the amount of time that juveniles can be on parole after convictions and increase penalties for those as young as ten for possession of a firearm or having stolen a car, animal abuse, or a third-degree sex offense.<br /><br />All of these seem like common sense approaches to an obvious problem, but there were still loud complaints. Zakiya Sankara-Jabar, the co-founder of Racial Justice NOW!, said she was "offended" by the bill. She went on to call it “completely uncivilized.” But what are these protesters blaming for the increase in juvenile offenses including carjackings and weapons charges? Amazingly, some blamed it on the pandemic and the "mental health impacts" the government's policies had on "at-risk youths."<br /><br />What's truly "uncivilized" is a society that is in decay, particularly in Baltimore. Gang activity continues to expand, with the gangs recruiting children at younger and younger ages. They are given illegal firearms and sent out to "conduct business" knowing that the city's law enforcement system is a revolving door for minors. Many come from broken or dysfunctional homes, often without a father figure in their lives. Once they've been fed through the system for a certain amount of time, most will grow to see law enforcement as "the enemy" rather than public servants assigned to keep them safe and maintain order. At that point, the only future awaiting many will involve jail or worse.</blockquote><p>Actually, the shocking part is that they're trying to do something at all. </p>Fritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08403113111574246294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840710415146608121.post-6560177198467108092024-03-17T16:04:00.003-04:002024-03-17T16:04:45.001-04:00Beach Report 3/17/24 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6xee6ma0PDEVH5SQJReBx_dF2XmrSo_xaWJ67Pi4Z4u_3UElONNi3qboxcfEx_sq-kQOHRpXqrqvQkl4ARzduxZ1OiQcJy8qEyHCtsclQLQ1lu31m5pluGtUQ1DnOMTm1qGpawDsU7-dbI1GJIG2FAx81vqvfYjzi7FjkhQ6zubxZi-IdOM6TGyHsgo8/s1210/20240317_135248.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="907" data-original-width="1210" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6xee6ma0PDEVH5SQJReBx_dF2XmrSo_xaWJ67Pi4Z4u_3UElONNi3qboxcfEx_sq-kQOHRpXqrqvQkl4ARzduxZ1OiQcJy8qEyHCtsclQLQ1lu31m5pluGtUQ1DnOMTm1qGpawDsU7-dbI1GJIG2FAx81vqvfYjzi7FjkhQ6zubxZi-IdOM6TGyHsgo8/s320/20240317_135248.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>A very nice St. Patrick's Day on the beach.

But, of course, for some men, palm trees just mean labor. AP, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/cambodia-palm-sugar-livelihood-3c42bdceb105692619a4f4e53c317b58" target="_blank">Collecting sap to make palm sugar is an arduous, and less appealing, job
for Cambodians<br /></a></div>
<blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Chin Choeun spends nearly 12 hours a day collecting sap from palm trees
that he and his wife turn into palm sugar. The 54-year-old boasts
of being one of Cambodia’s most skilful palm tree climbers, having learned
the skill from his father. But after 36 years scaling tree after tree,
Choeun plans to retire in the next couple of years, because of age-related
safety concerns.<br /><br />“It was a job that I took over from my father.
It was his legacy, and I don’t want it to end because of me. but I know that
it will be over after me,” Choeun said. The job is not appealing
to his sons and grandsons because it is both hard work and it is
dangerous.<br />. . .<br />“I regret that my sons and grandsons
cannot succeed me, but I respect their decision,” said Choeun, who has four
children and 10 grandchildren.<br /><br />A climber cuts into the stump that
holds the fruit and ties it with a bamboo container to let the sap collect
overnight. The next morning, another climb is made to collect the sap. This
is then cooked in a giant pot and slowly kneaded with a wooden stick until
it thickens.

The books primarily deal with either transgender ideology or more adult sexual content of any nature. But the Democrats in the state legislature want to put an end to that. They are currently <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/03/15/maryland-general-assembly-book-banning/">working to jam through a new bill</a> that is cleverly called the "Freedom to Read Act." They claim to be working to ensure a consistent statewide standard for library content, but the underlying goal seems obvious. They are unhappy with the success the parents have achieved and they want those books placed back on the shelves. The main battlegrounds for this battle appear to be Carroll and Howard counties, both located in more rural areas to the North and West of Baltimore. <br /><blockquote>A rise in <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/02/20/6-more-books-banned-in-carroll-public-school-libraries-bringing-total-to-9/">challenges to books in Maryland’s schools</a> and public libraries — including dozens recently in Carroll County schools — has put the state on a path to becoming one of the few with guardrails on book bans.<br /><br />The Freedom to Read Act, which Democrats in the Maryland General Assembly are gunning to pass in the legislative session’s final weeks, would set a statewide standard for some content in libraries for the first time. Although books found to contain sexual content could still be pulled from shelves under the bill, the act has infuriated some opponents. They argue it would tie the hands of local government and school officials to eliminate materials they find unsuitable for children.<br /><br />Proponents of the legislation say the standards it would set are critical at a time when <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2023/01/31/conservative-parent-activists-want-maryland-schools-to-ban-two-books-a-new-school-board-member-is-receptive/">parents and activists</a> in places like Carroll and Howard counties have challenged books that primarily target stories of LGBTQ youth or that deal with race.</blockquote>The Carroll County School Board is currently in the midst of reviewing 58 books that the superintendent ordered removed from the shelves because of explicit content. The protesting parents were organized by the local chapter of Moms for Liberty, and they've seen some success in pushing for these changes. <a href="https://www.baltimoresun.com/2024/02/20/6-more-books-banned-in-carroll-public-school-libraries-bringing-total-to-9/">Nine books have been removed</a> thus far during the review, with some others either being limited to high school libraries or requiring parental consent forms to take them out from the library. That might change if this new legislation is passed, however.<br /><br /></blockquote><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkxGWlX6ljTZxsWVSeWSZiu1cxifS4sHgI4GXPAUPj24MTLEvZdTXPSKp_tKLM1okvnwlYOwE397TTy2ieG9xUxZzPYQDdjZZ1SY16-tEuWMq2ekKv9dZKuSqkFvWo9ZLpYLFHtILu75gJl0mPgcy3C9Yp6d_JuN4iO0pPxZgPWON4gccxSWT-5WYwDMg/s2048/DzTWggOWsAIYTc6%20(1).jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkxGWlX6ljTZxsWVSeWSZiu1cxifS4sHgI4GXPAUPj24MTLEvZdTXPSKp_tKLM1okvnwlYOwE397TTy2ieG9xUxZzPYQDdjZZ1SY16-tEuWMq2ekKv9dZKuSqkFvWo9ZLpYLFHtILu75gJl0mPgcy3C9Yp6d_JuN4iO0pPxZgPWON4gccxSWT-5WYwDMg/s320/DzTWggOWsAIYTc6%20(1).jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Hannah Wilton </span></td></tr></tbody></table><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">So what sort of books are being removed in Carroll County? Some of them seem a bit dubious to be on the list, such as “Slaughterhouse Five” by Kurt Vonnegut. That one will be retained in high school libraries, but not elementary or middle schools. That's a fairly dense and intense book for younger children to tackle, I'll admit, but I wouldn't lump it in with pornography. Others are more obvious. Those include "Doing It! Let's Talk About Sex" by Hannah Wilton. She's the same author who <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hannahwittonofficial/photos/a.204357179688021/2154846867972366/?type=3">goes on social media</a> to offer free tips for finding affordable sex toys and poses with some of her own. Another is “Red Hood,” by Elana Arnold. It's described in one review as "a very loose retelling of Little Red Riding Hood driven by female empowerment and sisterhood." It's also called out for being "very bloody" and overtly sexualized.<br /></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32jT1WbJd9yQUpUlYYE0ppSmpPssCCNRETCOY7nB5WqBOBKB0tdqz0l5TTXXkjdtPFn09VbPuxlcEXJ_KgXEzB9eqx8QC0znitaLQQFIfC_Rwq0qnLtFDM0LNCbn095rMZkwnBnPjBvu_FkROd9Cpt0Ahj5WvLUtmVQlWwVzYHsxjPSkGOgvzgeduNIY/s813/iPpBdxwZuYg5o-ALIbMFbZ67KbUep0v_r7td90LOEGo.webp" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="505" data-original-width="813" height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh32jT1WbJd9yQUpUlYYE0ppSmpPssCCNRETCOY7nB5WqBOBKB0tdqz0l5TTXXkjdtPFn09VbPuxlcEXJ_KgXEzB9eqx8QC0znitaLQQFIfC_Rwq0qnLtFDM0LNCbn095rMZkwnBnPjBvu_FkROd9Cpt0Ahj5WvLUtmVQlWwVzYHsxjPSkGOgvzgeduNIY/s320/iPpBdxwZuYg5o-ALIbMFbZ67KbUep0v_r7td90LOEGo.webp" width="320" /></a></div> <br /><p></p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">One of the first to fall was “Gender Queer" by Maia Kobabe. That book has been removed from more schools around the country than almost any other. It's true that the book is presented in cartoon format, but it includes <a href="https://www.noleftturn.us/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/Compilation-of-pictures-from-Gender-Queer-five-pages.pdf">graphically explicit drawings</a>, including one showing a young boy performing oral sex on another young boy. How on Earth did anyone ever find that to be appropriate for school children, particularly in elementary school? I don't care whether it's a boy doing it to another boy or a girl with a boy. It should be up to parents to decide when their children learn about the birds and the bees.</blockquote><p>At least make kids work to find their porn. </p>Fritzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08403113111574246294noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1840710415146608121.post-52245868213795996592024-03-16T12:24:00.002-04:002024-03-18T23:24:55.047-04:00Flotsam and Jetsam - In Fulton County Nathan Out Fani In<p>
In what must be considered one of the most bizarre rulings to every ooze out
of the US judicial system, Judge McAfee decided that, despite the "odor of
mendacity" (his words), Fani Willis can continue to persecute Donald Trump in
Fulton County, Georgia, provided she gives up the services of boy toy Special
Prosecutor Nathan Wade. Of course, Wade resigned almost immediately,
$700,000 dollars later.

prediction. Robert Hur report and testimony is the biggest elephant in the

president has been charged under Espionage Act for taking and keeping
classified records including national defense information--which represents 32
counts against Trump in Jack Smith's indictment. Prediction: Cannon won't
dismiss the case based on the motions debated today--vagueness of Espionage

she will dismiss the case based on selective prosecution, a motion still

Ed comments</a> "After reading Dan's analysis, I read the opinion in Lindke v Freed and found it nearly impenetrable. It misses the forest for the trees in its attempts to grapple with the idea that every social-media post is in itself a public forum of some sort. Under this rubric, courts will have to engage in fact-finding as to whether officials were acting 'under color of authority' even on personal accounts in determining whether a block violates First Amendment rights. That's nonsense. The "public forum" is the platform, not individual posts. Blocking trolls doesn't deny them the right to speak -- it just denies them access to an account on the platform. They can still post away to their hearts' content. And as Dan writes, it's very disappointing that not one justice figured that out.

They warned that consumers would pay more to buy striped bass in markets and restaurants, while the state’s 377 licensed charter fishing outfits could suffer losses of 50–65%, forcing many out of business.<br /><br />“Watermen, waterwomen and charter boat operators already face a huge and growing number of obstacles in their world,” said Rob Newberry, chairman of the Delmarva Fisheries Association, in a statement announcing the lawsuit. “For them and for all Marylanders, it will be a tragedy of epic proportions if this mandate stands.”<br /></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiy3KtfSjVJzBS2_WzsjobLvwzDOBCQQzmDhOuKEp3Fw7o6NiDsTw4T1RXAZ6nRKf9ND0sMDQWNEp7gb0E6tKfwbUn3pu-mhrLRwnwJWuZeu0nQhnMS8Z2lZGeceMJurvNTe4c6B6glbXJyV00ZRnUA3tZjV-CiM7A086XDTD41SfT5u8iaeR3CBRAgmY/s2048/368232409_802303838561763_5974671672866516415_n.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiy3KtfSjVJzBS2_WzsjobLvwzDOBCQQzmDhOuKEp3Fw7o6NiDsTw4T1RXAZ6nRKf9ND0sMDQWNEp7gb0E6tKfwbUn3pu-mhrLRwnwJWuZeu0nQhnMS8Z2lZGeceMJurvNTe4c6B6glbXJyV00ZRnUA3tZjV-CiM7A086XDTD41SfT5u8iaeR3CBRAgmY/s320/368232409_802303838561763_5974671672866516415_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br /><p></p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">The Atlantic States commission, which regulates inshore fishing for migratory species from Maine to Florida, <a href="https://www.bayjournal.com/news/fisheries/striped-bass-harvest-restrictions-trigger-widespread-impact/article_e5e19f68-d4c5-11ee-8f54-c37c5983df6c.html">voted in January</a> to curtail recreational and commercial catches of the popular finfish also known in the Chesapeake Bay region as rockfish.

The coastal stock of striped bass is no longer experiencing overfishing, the groups note. And while the total harvest and mortality of fish increased 32% coastwide in 2022 over the previous year, the groups say it has been steadily declining in the Bay since 2017.<br /><br />Conservation groups and recreational fishing groups insisted that all sectors of the fishery should sacrifice to help rebuild the fish population.

buckets<br /></a>
<p></p>
<blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Okay, this is not about sucking whales into giant buckets to take them away
from offshore wind harm. Would that it were but whales are way too big for
that.<br /><br />Instead it is about a technology that can go a long way in
reducing the harm to whales and other protected marine species. Simply put,
suction buckets are a wind turbine foundation design that eliminates the
need for those incredibly loud giant monopiles. Of all the ways that
offshore wind threatens whales monopiles are the worst, while suction
buckets are benign.<br /><br />CFACT is calling for the banning of monopiles
in favor of suction buckets. Mind you CFACT has made clear that they oppose
offshore wind as destructive, ridiculously expensive and completely
unneeded. But if the Feds insist on having offshore wind it should sit on
suction buckets not monopiles.<br /><br />To begin its call for banning
monopiles CFACT recently posted comments to BOEM and NOAA via a proposal
from the Beacon Wind project. Beacon is considering using suction buckets
and wants to run some test cases. CFACT not only endorses these tests it
calls on this to be standard procedure on all offshore wind projects.<br /></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1QE2TFEDdDW80i_dCdaYFokOZwiHHizdT2Wom1B6w-AevHQ-OwLYmCevGJ0BnS0I4eoXi_ny1Vcj9Pp2VcRCIDlvt1ostIcc9nVbaT4RAqsPwXywtRXztz1bYuVfOK60ARM3uwp3KASYYJhr1KjcPWnWPGBfxkUCleDicvrJWm6ZCoLC4gP9Hbml0mvo" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="942" data-original-width="1080" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh1QE2TFEDdDW80i_dCdaYFokOZwiHHizdT2Wom1B6w-AevHQ-OwLYmCevGJ0BnS0I4eoXi_ny1Vcj9Pp2VcRCIDlvt1ostIcc9nVbaT4RAqsPwXywtRXztz1bYuVfOK60ARM3uwp3KASYYJhr1KjcPWnWPGBfxkUCleDicvrJWm6ZCoLC4gP9Hbml0mvo" width="275" /></a></div> <br /><p></p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Suction
bucket technology is simple and elegant. The bucket, less colorfully called
a suction caisson, is a simple cylinder that is closed on one end.
Installation is in two steps. First the cylinder is set on the ocean floor
with the open end down so it settles into the ocean floor a little way, thus
sealing off the interior.<br /><br />Then some of the water in the cylinder
is pumped (or sucked) out. This reduces the internal pressure such that the
external water pressure presses the cylinder into the sea floor. Pumping
continues until the cylinder is fully embedded, where it can then be used as
a structural foundation.<br /><br />Instead of manually driving a pile, the
ocean itself supplies the force. Three or four buckets are typically used to
support a framework that then holds up the turbine tower.<br /><br />The
suction bucket technology has been around for many years, often used for
anchoring offshore oil rigs. Using it for offshore wind is relatively new
but Ørsted, the world’s biggest developer, has a 900 MW project underway off
Taiwan so it is clearly feasible at the scale of US offshore projects.<br /><br />Here
is their description of suction bucket technology: <a href="https://orstedcdn.azureedge.net/-/media/www/docs/corp/com/our-business/wind-power/bucket-jacket_long-version.pdf?">https://orstedcdn.azureedge.net/-/media/www/docs/corp/com/our-business/wind-power/bucket-jacket_long-version.pdf?</a><br /><br />Here are some central excerpts from the CFACT comments calling
for a ban on monopiles in favor of suction bucket technology:<br /><br /></blockquote><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjHkriB8Zwt0apuyBh6fUHtiP3qQmpIRgktCL9ccV4dptaZCdJItD_AlgmzBPIQuaoRNsfIw3HG4dZTIPYUakMnSaSuD2YhGsF8Q1aP2-8zDR07N7SSVjgYri9kUxnFCfu1gTCtB3fx8MJeiLXK180G-N0WnSnipDbmU9NJMQGd9E5Gz9S65Ym7ZNDqO_k" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1800" data-original-width="1440" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjHkriB8Zwt0apuyBh6fUHtiP3qQmpIRgktCL9ccV4dptaZCdJItD_AlgmzBPIQuaoRNsfIw3HG4dZTIPYUakMnSaSuD2YhGsF8Q1aP2-8zDR07N7SSVjgYri9kUxnFCfu1gTCtB3fx8MJeiLXK180G-N0WnSnipDbmU9NJMQGd9E5Gz9S65Ym7ZNDqO_k" width="192" /></a></div><p></p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">“Suction
buckets are the perfect acoustic mitigation technology as installing them
makes very little noise, while installing monopiles is incredibly loud.
Using them instead of monopiles will avoid the acoustic harassment of many
thousands of marine mammals and other protected species.”<br /><br />“This
profound mitigation effect includes protecting the severely endangered North
Atlantic Right Whale.”<br /><br />“BOEM and NMFS should mandate that suction
bucket technology be used for all fixed foundation offshore wind
development, instead of piles, except where it is completely infeasible,
which may be nowhere. At present it appears that all of the proposed and in
process BOEM offshore wind projects with fixed foundations use deadly noisy
monopiles. This use of monopiles must be replaced with suction bucket
technology which is very quiet to install.”<br /><br />“As part of this
mandate NMFS should cease authorizing thousands of marine mammal acoustic
harassments per project from monopiles. It should also rescind all those
authorizations where construction is not largely completed. Projects under
construction using monopiles can switch to suction bucket foundations for
their remaining turbines and substations.”</blockquote><p>This is the first I've heard of "suction bucket" pile driving, but it makes a lot of sense. I don't know how it compares in cost to a comparably strong monopile, but if it saves the whales, I'm for it.</p><p>FWIW, for the umpteenth time, I don't believe that whales are being harmed by pile driving and sonar work associated with offshore wind power, but I don't disbelieve it either. Plausible mechanisms have been offered for how it might happen, but short of a test that I don't find very practical (OK, NSF, I want to expose a population of whale to various noises, while keeping a control population) it seems we won't find out. I just know that if it were a coal or nuclear power possibly having such effects "environmentalists" would be howling to ban them based on the precautionary principle. </p><div>The Wombat has <a href="https://theothermccain.com/2024/03/18/rule-5-sunday-sleeping-in/">Rule 5 Sunday: Sleeping In</a> ready as usual at The one and only Other McCain.</div><div><br /></div>

He says 10 times that Trump was found 'liable for rape' in the E Jean Carroll case. He says that the jury found Trump 'liable for rape.' In fact, the jury specifically found Trump *not* liable for rape. It found him liable for 'sexual abuse.' The judge later tried to spin the decision, citing laws that did not apply, to argue that the jury 'implicitly' found Trump liable for rape. In the absence of an actual jury finding of rape, the judge guessed that the jury's decision 'necessarily implies' rape. Stephanopoulos, in spite of the jury's written finding, on 10 occasions said Trump had been found legally liable for rape. Why not just be accurate and say Trump was found liable for sexual abuse? Does anyone think that sounds *good*?" You might recall Stephanopoulos' membership in Bill Clintons "Bimbo eruption" team.

<blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Were you ever told that you should never to shower during a thunderstorm?
Whether or not you’re still following that rule, you may be unaware of the
reason behind the warning — or if it’s even legitimate. After all, unless
your shower is outdoors, the consequences of sudsing up during a storm may
seem fairly minimal, right?<br /><br />As it turns out, experts say that you
should avoid showering during a thunderstorm if possible — and there’s a
good reason why. Here’s what you need to know about showering during a
thunderstorm, and why you may want to hold off on bathing when you see those
dark clouds rolling in. What’s the issue with bathing during a
thunderstorm?<br /><br />It's not the thunder that's the issue during a
storm — it's the lightning, which
<a href="https://www.weather.gov/media/grr/brochures/nwsthunderstorms&lightning.pdf">every thunderstorm produces</a>. You may be thinking: But my shower is indoors and the lightning is
outside. That may be true, but

Gallagher presiding.<br /><blockquote>“This action seeks declaratory and injunctive relief from deficient voter registration rolls leading to violations of Federal and state laws, the certification of results from a provably flawed, inaccurate, and obscure process outside the view of impartial witnesses or the public, including the use of voting systems in Maryland that are believed to have void EAC certifications in violation of federal law, and the refusal of the Maryland State Board of Elections to comply with Public Information Act (PIA) requests and Federally required transparency.” </blockquote>The suit cites multiple federal laws regarding election conduct, including Article 1 Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, Sections 1 and 2 of the Fourteenth Amendment, the National Voter Registration Act, and the Help America Vote Act.</blockquote><p> </p><blockquote style="background-color: #b6d7a8;">Maryland Election Integrity, LLC, a group of citizen volunteers in Maryland, is led by Kate Sullivan and David Morsberger. They recently <a href="https://mr.cdn.ignitecdn.com/client_assets/uncoverdc_com/media/attachments/65e3/98e3/f57c/cd7a/f0b9/bf6a/65e398e3f57ccd7af0b9bf6a.pdf?1709414627">filed a report </a>detailing the results of their statewide voter canvass and their examination of Maryland voter rolls. <br /><br />Their canvas found 58 inaccurate records, which was 15 % of the 383 records surveyed. The Baltimore County canvass found 61 inaccurate records -- 14% of the 418 individuals contacted. <br /><br />Based on their results, they calculated that the canvass percentages would equate to 5,625 apparent fraudulent votes in the Maryland 2020 general election. <br /><br />The team also analyzed Maryland voter rolls and found 79,349 current apparent registration violations, 62,075 voting violations in the 2020 general election, and 27,623 voting violations in the 2022 general election. <br /><br /><a href="https://unite4freedom.com/">United Sovereign Americans</a> was born out of New York Citizens Audit, which has produced <a href="https://auditny.com/documents/">similar reports</a> about the voter rolls in New York state for 2020 and 2022. Co-founders Marly Hornik and Harry Haury formed United Sovereign Americans to share what they’ve learned about database investigations and legal strategies to ensure fair and honest elections for our country. They now have chapters in over 25 states doing research and preparing lawsuits. <br /><br />Regarding the Maryland lawsuit, Hornik said “the Maryland action is the first of many lawsuits we will be participating in to force state boards of elections to comply with clearly-defined federal laws that ensure election validity. Without trustworthy elections, the American public will have no confidence in the announced results.” </blockquote>Considering that Biden won Maryland by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Maryland#:~:text=Biden%20easily%20carried%20Maryland%20with,that%20Biden%20would%20carry%20comfortably." target="_blank">about a million votes</a>, it doesn't seem likely there's enough fraud here to make a difference.
