NYC Surveillance, Dating Culture, Maria Bamford on Farts, and More: Today's Recommended Reading
By Moze Halperin
Here at Flavorwire, we pride ourselves on not only writing some of the best content on the internet, but keeping an eye on all of the great writing that other folks on the 'net are doing, too. Today, we have an essay about NYC surveillance of black neighborhoods from Fusion, a look at how British thrillers are expanding the limited (particularly antihero oriented) tropes American TV audiences are used to, an interview with Maria Bamford on what makes her laugh, and more.
Ethan Chiel writes for Fusion not only about the recent installation of floodlights around New York City Housing Authority housing — which have caused complaints across social media — but also about the history of New York City using light as a form of surveillance and control of its black populations:
This is not the first time New York City has used light to surveil its black population. In March 1713, the Common Council of the City of New York, the pre-cursor to today's City Council, approved "A Law for Regulating Negro & Indian Slaves in the Night Time."… It was a "lantern law" and required any slave older than 14 to carry "A Lanthorn and lighted Candle in it…as the light thereof may be plainly seen." Basically, if you were a slave and out at night, you needed to carry a light in front of you so you could be easily identified. The law was enacted following a slave rebellion the previous April… Alvaro Bedoya, the Director of Georgetown Law's Center on Privacy & Technology, likens lantern laws to more modern cases of overreaching surveillance, such as the FBI's wiretapping civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Atlantic spoke to author Moira Weigel about dating culture, surrounding the release of her book nonfiction book about the history of dating in America, Labor of Love. The interviewer, Bourree Lam, asks Weigel about how her book suggests that dating started when women entered the workforce, to which Weigel replies: Absolutely. Starting in the 1890s and 1900s, a huge number of young Americans began moving to cities and a huge number of women in particular began working outside of homes—their own homes, or homes where they might have worked as governesses or maids. Previously, courtship rituals had taken place in private places, almost always chaperoned by relatives or other authority figures. If you were well off, the scenario might have looked like a Jane Austen or George Eliot novel. If you were working class, you might have met prospective partners at a factory dance or a church social… But as women entered the workforce and hit the city streets, they gained new freedom to mix with men. Think what a big deal it is when one new man shows up in Middlemarch. Then, think how many men a woman who worked as a waitress in a busy restaurant might have met every single day. It must have been thrilling!
Former Flavorwire Editor-in-Chief Judy Berman writes for Vulture about the "new wave" of British thrillers (including The Night Manager, London Spy, and The Last Panthers) that've made their way to American television, and how they differ (most notably in how their way-shorter seasons inform their arcs and characters) from the series we normally consume in the U.S.:
Liberated from American TV's imperative to crank out episodes until viewers stop tuning in, these shows minimize filler and deliver decisive conclusions. When writers know their final destination, they can resolve every plotline and experiment with unconventional storytelling methods that wouldn't sustain multiple seasons. American thrillers like Homeland and The Walking Dead tend to outlast their natural lifespans, as once-focused stories become repetitive. But The Last Panthers was able to capitalize on the confusion it had purposely created in early episodes…Best of all, British thrillers craft strong characters and explore predominantly male spaces without falling prey to the antihero clichés of American "prestige TV." By and large, these shows privilege the ensemble's interactions over the psychological burdens of any given character.
Flavorwire has done its share of writing about Maria Bamford's Netflix series Lady Dynamite — see our review here and a look at the show's central and personal relationship to mental illness here — and Bamford may currently be making you binge-laugh, Bamford has shared the things that make her laugh with A.V. Club. Here, for example, is Bamford on farts:
And then farting… Have you ever sat on a giant whoopee cushion? If you haven't, it's very satisfying. It usually breaks after two uses because of the delicate nature of whoopee cushion rubber. And usually how long it sat in a magic shop will affect how sturdy it is. Maybe if it was fresh out of the factory it wouldn't break after two uses, but it's really fun. And democratic. Because it happens to everybody, as far as I know.


MEDFORD/SOMERVILLE, Mass. (April 2, 2019)–Youth voter turnout (ages 18-29) increased in the 2018 midterm election in all 34 states for which data are available, according to two new analyses from the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement (CIRCLE). Additionally, in most states, these increases exceeded the increases in turnout among the overall (all ages) electorate, according to the researchers.
CIRCLE, based at Tufts University's Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life, is the preeminent, non-partisan research center on youth civic and political engagement.
The results of their research confirm that youth voters played a significant role in the 2018 midterm election.
Last month, CIRCLE released 2018 youth turnout estimates for an initial batch of 17 states, including states with competitive statewide races like Georgia, Nevada and Florida. Today, CIRCLE published youth turnout estimates for 17 additional states, including Texas, Tennessee, Michigan and Virginia.
In 26 of the 34 states, the increase in youth turnout exceeded the increase in turnout among the overall (all ages) electorate.
Georgia. Youth voter turnout in Georgia went from 13 percent in 2014 to 33 percent in 2018, a 20 percentage-point increase. The state's surprisingly close gubernatorial race, in which Democrat Stacey Abrams nearly upset Republican Brian Kemp, likely led to greater investment in youth and helped motivate young people to head to the polls. In our post-election analysis, we found that counties with high percentages of youth and African Americans voted for Abrams by 22 points above the state average.
Texas. Just 8.2 percent of Texas youth turned out to vote in 2014, but young people tripled their turnout rate to 25.8 percent in 2018. In Texas' U.S. Senate race, Democratic challenger Rep. Beto O'Rourke nearly upset Republican incumbent Senator Ted Cruz, in part due to extensive youth support at the polls. According to an earlier CIRCLE post-election analysis, O'Rourke earned his greatest support in counties with high proportions of young people, especially Latino youth. O'Rourke's narrow margin of defeat draws attention to the fact that the youth increase did not exceed the increase among the general electorate, as both went up by 17 percentage points.
Maine. Youth voter turnout in Maine rose by 5.8 percentage points between 2014 and 2018, a more modest increase than in other states. However, it is still significant given that the 2014 youth turnout rate was already relatively high (30.5 percent), and the increase to 36.4 percent puts Maine among the states with the highest 2018 turnout rate. Maine allows pre-registration of 17 year-olds and has ranked-choice-voting. Young people may be especially encouraged to participate when they feel certain that their vote matters.
First analysis of youth turnout estimates for initial batch of 17 states including Georgia, Nevada and Florida.
Newest analysis of youth turnout estimates for 17 additional states, including Texas, Tennessee, Michigan and Virginia.
CIRCLE is a nonpartisan, independent, academic research center that studies young people's civic and political engagement and produces detailed data on young voters in all 50 states. CIRCLE is part of the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life. CIRCLE is a co-lead on the 22x20 campaign, which is a network of education, media literacy and media partners working to mesh media literacy with voter engagement before the 2020 election.
Researchers are available for interviews, including live television interviews from Tufts' on-campus studio. Media outlets should contact Jen McAndrew at jennifer.mcandrew@tufts.edu or 617-627-2029.
The only university-wide college of its kind, the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life (http://tischcollege.tufts.edu/) offers transformational student learning and service opportunities, conducts groundbreaking research on young people's civic and political participation, and forges innovative community partnerships. Its work is guided by two core beliefs: that communities, nations and the world are stronger, more prosperous, and more just when citizens actively participate in civic and democratic life; and that higher education has a responsibility to develop the next generation of active citizens.

WMS Pool Getting $1.3 Millon Make-over
InkFreeNews.com Apr 30, 2012 Tim Ashley Updated: Oct 30, 2018 @ 3:58 PM
By TIM ASHLEY
Wawasee Middle School's swimming pool, heavily used by the school, Wawasee High School and the community, is getting much needed renovations in an approximately $1.3 million project.
Funding for the project is through the school corporation's capital projects fund used each year for various projects as prioritized.
An extensive overhaul is in progress for the pool at a school more than 20 years old. Bob Lahrman, support services director for the Wawasee Community School Corp., said the renovations include new lighting, ceiling work, painting and a completely new scoreboard repositioned for easier viewing by spectators at swimming meets, as well as new lighted swimming record boards.
Additionally, when the suspended ceiling was removed, rusty metal joists and roof decking were exposed. A structural engineer examined the rusted areas and recommended remedial measures.
Lahrman believes the damage could have occurred 15 to 18 years ago but the problem was not reported when the roof for the entire school building was renovated the last few years. There is clear evidence of someone stepping through metal weakened by rust.
Excessive condensation created by high humidity likely was a major factor in causing the roof problem, he said. The Wawasee school board inspected the damage during a special meeting Tuesday and voted on a recommendation to repair the damage.
Although most of the project involves the pool, other work in the school will include replacing carpeting, painting and tile work. Mid-June is the target date for completion of the project. Nearly all of the pipe work has been finished in the pool area, but electrical and other work remains.
While work is being done on the pool, swimming activities have been moved to the high school pool.
For more details on this story and the Wawasee School Board, see this week's edition of The Mail-Journal.

In the northern part of Istria, overlooking the Mirna River valley, lies surely the most famous and attractive Istrian medieval town of Motovun-Montona. This captivating hilltop town is one of the characteristic symbols of the Istrian interior.
The Romanesque-Gothic bell tower with a crenulated crown from the 13th century, standing next to the Parish Church of St. Stephen from the 17th century, dominates the town's historic core. In the central square is the Romanesque Municipal Palace, the largest secular building in Istria of that period surrounded by many other historic buildings. As Motovun-Montona has long since been an attractive and popular tourist destination accommodation is offered in the town centre, in hotel Kaštel situated in the restored palace of the Polesini family.
Motovun-Montona is the perfect venue for a large number of events, the most significant among them being the International Motovun Film Festival that takes place at the end of July where world-known film artists may be seen. Motovun is also interesting for ballooning lovers, its favourable microclimate enables flying in balloons all year round, so that Motovun-Montona hosts several ballooning events.
Motovun Forest which stretches along the Mirna River valley is especially rich in truffles, the underground malodorous fungus believed to be an aphrodisiac. Istrian white truffles, whose season lasts from September to December are said to be as good as the finest Italian and French truffles.
Opposite Motovun-Montona stands the charming picturesque town of Oprtalj-Portole, as well as Livade, famous for the Days of Truffles held every year from September to November. Every year in Livade, also known as the World's truffle centre, a special festival is organized with a contest of choosing the largest truffle.
Motovun-Montona is surrounded by vineyards from which the finest Istrian wines, white wine Malvasia and red wine Teran, are produced. The entire area is dotted with excellent local 'konobe' and restaurants.
In close vicinity is also Istarske toplice, thermal spa with curative water.

The SSD Improv: Intel & Indilinx get TRIM, Kingston Brings Intel Down to $115
by Anand Lal Shimpi on November 17, 2009 7:00 PM EST
Index Testing TRIM Wipe When You Can't TRIM Kingston Delivers the First Good Sub-$100 SSD (after Rebate) Sequential Read/Write Speed Random Read/Write Speed Overall System Performance using PCMark Vantage Introducing the AnandTech Storage Bench - Real World Performance Testing Final Words
Update 2: Intel has given us an updated timeframe on a fixed version of its TRIM firmware. Intel will release the new firmware by the end of November 2009. More info here.
Update: Some users have had issues with Intel's TRIM firmware bricking their drives, Intel has since pulled the firmware while they figure out what's going on. If you've downloaded it but haven't updated, do so at your own risk. While we haven't had any issues on the three drives we've updated here others have had problems. We'll keep you posted. Intel's official statement is below:
"Yes, we have been contacted by users with issues with the firmware upgrade and are investigating. We take all sightings and issues seriously and are working toward resolution. We have temporarily taken down the firmware link while we investigate."
Welcome to the anti-climax. After a year of talking about it, Windows 7 and TRIM are here. How does it feel to be a TRIMionaire?
Indilinx, as usual, was first. After a couple of false starts, the two tier 1 Indilinx partners (SuperTalent and OCZ) enabled TRIM on their Barefoot SSDs (OCZ Vertex, SuperTalent UltraDrive). OCZ calls its TRIM firmware 1.40 while SuperTalent calls it 1819. Update:As many of you have correctly pointed out, Crucial also has an 1819 update available for its SSDs. You can get the firmware for your drive from the links here:
TRIM Firmware Download
Crucial M225 1819
SuperTalent UltraDrive GX 1819
OCZ Vertex /Agility 1.40
Intel held off to align with the release of Windows 7. Last week Windows 7 officially went on sale, and today Intel is delivering on its promise: this bootable iso will enable TRIM on X25-M G2 drives.
Only the X25-M G2 gets TRIM, the G1 (right) is left in the dust. The G1 is more resilient than the G2 when it comes to performance degradation over time since it doesn't have TRIM.
Alongside TRIM there's one more surprise. If you own a 160GB X25-M G2, Intel boosted sequential write speeds from 80MB/s to 100MB/s:
The 80GB drives remain unchanged unfortunately. Intel still won't tell us why write speeds are so low to begin with.
What TRIM Does
Before we get much further, and without diving into a complete rehash of how SSDs work (which I've done here, here and here again), I want to do a quick refresher on TRIM.
SSDs are made up of millions of NAND flash cells. They can be written to in groups called pages (generally 4KB in size) but can only be erased in larger groups called blocks (generally 128 pages or 512KB). These stipulations are partially the source of many SSD performance issues.
The whole ordeal gets more complicated when you realize that an SSD has no way of knowing when a file is deleted. Until an address gets used again, the SSD has to keep track of every last bit of data that's written to it. The ATA-TRIM instruction tilts the balance in favor of the SSD.
In a supported OS (e.g. Windows 7), whenever you permanently delete a file or format your drive, the addresses that are erased are sent along with the TRIM command to the SSD's controller. The TRIM instruction tells the SSD that those locations don't contain valid data and that it no longer has to track them.
Simplified version of how a SSD controller works. TRIM helps the SSD clean blocks and add them to the free block pool
Again, I won't go into great detail here but TRIM addresses a major part of the performance degradation over time issue that plague all SSDs. A TRIM enabled drive running an OS with TRIM support will stay closer to its peak performance over time.

I've read about some Macbook hacks for the SSD user, but still wonder how I should make my SSD's "new" state last longer.
I do still wonder if I should use the "Secure Empty Trash" in Snow Leopard? At first, I've partitioned my drive for all available space, but then reduced the HFS partition to 68 Gb or so - will this prolong my drive's "new" state because of Intel's algorithms?
Should I use "Erase Free Space" in Disk Utility?
kunedog - Saturday, December 26, 2009 - link
I would say NO. Secure Erase (of used or free space) will generate (many) more writes which can only make the problem worse, "using up" your reserve space much more quickly than before. At least that's what my intuition says. Maybe somenoe who knows for sure will chime in.

The Kingston 40GB is available for $130:

I wonder how many, if any, were sold at $85 (or even $115). I also wonder how this article is repeatedly bumped for minor (and predictable) updates while the incorrect pricing predictions are never acknowledged. The Intel MLC SSDs continue to list for much higher than the given "expected" launch price . . .
http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=36...">http://www.anandtech.com/storage/showdoc.aspx?i=36...
. . . yet that article was never bumped to the top. Even the G1s were priced higher! Props to Anand for keeping the SSD companies honest on performance, but why can't the same be done for pricing?
If I were going to release/retail a new SSD, I would definitely call Anand ahead of time and tell him an expected price about 50-75% of the real one so he would blindly print it and create demand.
mohsh86 - Thursday, December 3, 2009 - link
lol the promised to deliver it by the end of Novmber, they didn't but they changed the date of release :P i've been checking every day..
The Firmware Update tool 1.5 is now available, posted (according to intel in 30/11) the SSD toolbox still unavailable..
did any one try it ?!
i have the firmware the one before the bricking firmware, i guess it has the letter g, should i upgrade ?!
mohsh86 - Tuesday, December 1, 2009 - link
It finally came ! The End of November, The 1st of December..
No Trim Firmware, No Intel SSD Toolbox, no RAID support for toolbox
Dverez - Tuesday, December 1, 2009 - link
The new Firmware is out and works properly.
To test SSD this is a good program, I think.

Sind - Monday, November 30, 2009 - link
Wheres the firmware update, it's Nov 30th!
xpclient - Wednesday, November 25, 2009 - link
Please test 2 X25-Ms with Intel Matrix RAID10 and other Matrix RAID arrays the moment Intel drivers with TRIM come out.
Mygaffer - Tuesday, November 24, 2009 - link
Another great article, thank you for all the hard work and insightful analysis. Articles like yours help keep the industry honest and responsive.
I can't wait until they become cheap enough for me to buy two for a RAID 0, and of course for Intel to release new drivers to support the TRIM commands.

Norway pledges to support the Emergency Transit Mechanism
The Minister of International Development of Norway, Mr. Dag Inge Ulstein and his delegation during the visit in Rwanda on 14th November, 2019 disclosed that Norway pledges to support the Emergency Transit Mechanism by providing 50 million Norwegian Krone approximately 5 million US Dollars to the mechanism and resettling refugees and asylum seekers evacuated from Libya.
The Minister Ulstein released that information during his courtesy call to the Ministry in Charge of Emergency Management. "First of all, we appreciated Rwanda's initiative to establish the Emergency Transit Mechanism he qualified as an exemplary African leadership with African Solutions. It is a commendable work towards saving lives," he said. "In line with these efforts, the Norwegian government has committed to support the ETM by proving 50 million Norwegian Krone approximately 5 million US Dollars and resettling to Norway some of the refugees and asylum seekers evacuated from Libya to improve their lives," he added.
The Minister in Charge of Emergency Management, Germaine KAMAYIRESE, thanked and commended the Norwegian Government for the support to the Emergency Transit Mechanism and called upon other Nations to step in following Norway Example. "We appreciate the efforts of the Government of Norway to support the ETM through financial support as well as providing durable solutions to refugees such as resettlement. We call upon other nations to engage in backing up the ETM and finding durable solutions to evacuated refugees and asylum seekers to enable them to continue improving their welfare as far as the majority are young people ," the Minister in Charge of Emergency Management said.
Before paying the courtesy call to the Ministry in Charge of Emergency Management, the Minister of International Cooperation, Mr. Dag Inge Ulstein , visited Gashora Transit Centre hosting refugees and asylum seekers evacuated from Libya under the ETM.
During his Visit, he toured the centre visiting different services provided to the refugees and asylum seekers. These include the health centres, the accommodation, entertainment halls and pitches.
He further met with refugees and asylum seekers to hear testimonies on the ordeal they went through while in Libya including the mistreatment in detention centres, torture, food deprivation and in some instances electrocution. Besides that, the Minister Ulstein provided to them foot balls to enhance their entertainment activities and took the opportunity to play football with them.
The Minister Ulstein was in Rwanda for a two days visit undertaken from 13th -14thNovember, 2019. The visit mainly aimed at discussing with Rwandan authorities, the possibility of Norway to support the Emergency Transit Mechanism for evacuating refugees out of Libya to safety in Rwanda and further to enhance Rwanda-Norway bilateral cooperation in different areas.

I received my first apology email today – one of the above businesses had an account for me. While no financial details were lost, my email address (and perhaps postal address?) were disclosed. More than that, my relationship as a previous customer was disclosed. It is worthy of note that in the UK, this is a serious issue for a bank (customer relationships are afforded special confidentiality), but for me it is a serious issue full stop.
A genuine acceptance that what happened was wrong.
(i.e. does the offender understand? Is it under control?) – Not everyone agrees with this one.
A commitment to a) put it right and b) ensure that it doesn't happen again (i.e. lessons learnt).
@benjaminellis Ack of the problem without passing blame, clear scope of the problem, how it's being resolved. Then follow-up on resolution.
@benjaminellis A genuine, honest and singular admittance of guilt.
@benjaminellis The word 'sorry' in a genuine, heartfelt tone, and some offer to make amends for the wrong-doing.
@benjaminellis 1) acknowledgement of issue 2) steps to ensure does not happen again 3) gesture of goodwill.
@benjaminellis Acknowledgement, remorse, some sort of restitution. All wrapped in courtesy and humanity. Explanation/excuse not needed.
"The right sort of people do not want apologies, and the wrong sort take a mean advantage of them." P.G. Wodehouse, The Man Upstairs.
Which put me in my place :). Apologies should be given, not demanded.
Thank you for your post; I quite agree.
Aside from my growing horror at how many of these things have been pouring into my email, the main issue I've been left with is wondering what the heck these companies are all doing to make sure this doesn't happen again.
And how do they *know* that the only information gathered was our email addresses and names, and not more detailed financial and/or medical information?
The added worry, of course, is what the breachers are in fact going to do with my information.
The recommendation to just not open attachments from whomever doesn't cut it as the sole solution offered. Those of us with even half a clue already know not to do that.
Thanks for sharing this – it seems we're a like minded group out there. Being treated in the Charles Kingsley "Mrs Do-as-you-would-be-done-by" manner seems the bare minimum in a situation like this.
But hey, I got mad at Linked In's Reid Hoffman sending me a spammy email congratulating himself on recruiting millions of members (it had no unsubscribe link) which was crass as the founder of a connecting together networking organisation who set out to try to avoid spammy approaches by non-trusted third parties.


While there are kind people out there for whom we must be grateful, there are still those who are negative, if not toxic. The media landscape is littered with advice on dealing with offensive behavior. This offers suggestions on how to respond in a proactive rather than reactive way. The concepts of silence and saying, "thank you," play key roles in this.
Reactivity comes from emotions, the gut. Proactivity comes from thought and purpose.
My training as a family therapist was all about how family members treat and react to each other. The goal was "individuation,"—standing strong and apart while connecting, being positive and supportive. Family interactions are like most others. Being talked down to by a sibling can feel the same as when a co-worker does it.
The first part of this article is about a "less is more" strategy to deal with targeted, (at you) mean-spirited behaviors. Think of a setting (like work) where you are there too many hours to be in a negative environment. I remember it well, being dissed daily by the same instigators. It was always someone who enjoyed finding fault often and seemed to take joy in making me wrong.
The following offers two seemingly minimal responses. That is, "silence" and saying "thank you" to the perpetrator. An effective response will empower you.
Keep in mind that this takes practice. I have learned this as I have grown into my sixth decade. I wish I could go back to myself at any time in the past and tell her there were better ways to deal with the dissing!
Silence. When someone yells at you, one of the best responses is air. No response. Shhhhh…Can you "hear" it? The silence "says" much. After you have uttered the sound of silence, you might be more prepared to answer. Here's an example. A co-worker says, "You have no idea what you are doing." Pause…Then, "Please do not talk to me that way and make such a gross accusation." If the co-worker persists to make this point, go back to silence and let her hear herself talk.
Silence says, "I will not dignify your comments with a response." Sometimes that dead air is not only effective in fighting back, it says "I exist." It leaves that perpetrator out there to hang.
So, silence is armor for you in the face of flat out ignorance.
On the other hand, "Thank You" says, "I hear you—but no thanks!" It doesn't exactly welcome the criticism but it can stop it in its tracks. You can pretend you are thankful that they have proven they are mean and not worthy of a continued interaction.
There is some poetic justice at work when the response is subtle and ironic.
Then there are those who are not only negative, but cheap with saying "thank you." You do or say something nice, and the response is duh, nothing. That person seems in capable and/or self-absorbed. If you must deal with this, learn to expect far less. Although this is about what was not said but surely should be.
Now I want to go back to the kind people. There is conversely a more positive and proactive use for "silence" and "thank you." Listening involves silence. It allows for not only the ability to know a person—it is gift from you and to you. Allowing pensive pause before you respond permits a kind retort. There is an old song called "Silence is Golden," the words are, "silence is golden, but my eyes can see." We have our ears to hear but eye contact is another lovely way to show you are present for someone.
Then there are those two little words, "Thank you." Why not make it your goal to say, "thank you" all day? "Thank you" to the gas station attendant, to the waiter, to children, mates, to whom you worship. It feels so good to acknowledge the good.
Appreciate how good it feels to be thanked. The practice of thoughtful silence and a warm "thank you" is a healthy way to live. Mind you, it does take practice, as with everything, it's difficult.
There are many lessons we continue to learn as we participate in human interaction. Kabballah, a Jewish mystical philosophy, suggests there is a spiritual transformation from reactivity to pro-activity. Yet another good reason to discipline our responses! Lastly, we can always be more silent to listen better and not miss the opportunity to say, "thank you." Speaking of which, thank you for reading!

DELEON SPRINGS MAN CHARGED WITH 2ND DEGREE MURDER AFTER VICTIM'S BODY DISCOVERED IN FLAGLER COUNTY
A DeLeon Springs man has been charged with second-degree murder after a joint investigation by sheriff's detectives from Volusia and Flagler counties led to his confession.
Ronald H. Collins Jr., 51 (DOB 12/24/1968), was arrested Thursday night at the Volusia Sheriff's Office District 2 headquarters in DeLand, after an interview with detectives from both counties.
The investigation started Monday in Bunnell, where Flagler deputies responded to a report of a body found rolled up in a comforter and placed on a futon inside an RV at 163 Ohio Ave. Collins was identified as the renter of the property, but he was not on scene.
On Thursday, the victim was positively identified as Jillian Petrotto, 31 (DOB 4/30/1988), who had frequently been seen with Collins in the past.
Collins came to the Sheriff's Office on Thursday afternoon and confessed to killing Petrotto inside his residence at 4856 U.S. 17 in DeLeon Springs. Petrotto had been staying with him recently and the two were in an occasional romantic relationship. Collins said he'd blacked out during the incident and did not remember it in detail, but said he killed Petrotto because he was angry she was going out to get money to buy drugs. Petrotto sustained blunt force trauma to her head and was strangled.
"Our detectives and CSI did a great job and worked through the holidays," said Flagler Sheriff Rick Staly. "Within a few hours FCSO detectives developed a person of interest and immediately worked with the Volusia Sheriff's Office to jointly solve this case. This should send a message to criminals that regardless of jurisdictional boundaries we all work together and we will get you."
"Thanks to hard work and cooperation between our detectives, Ronald Collins is in jail where he belongs, facing the consequences he deserves," Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood said. "We hope Ms. Petrotto's family and friends can find some peace knowing her killer is brought to justice."
Collins was transported to the Volusia County Branch Jail, where he remained in custody Friday morning with no bond allowed.

Could Inhofe Influence Massachusetts Senate Race?
Posted on September 23, 2012 by Kurt Hochenauer Posted in General News
Arctic Ocean ice melted at a record rate this summer because of climate change, but the world's most famous global-warming denier-U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe-continues his campaign to protect the interests of the oil and gas industry at the expense of the environment.
Inhofe has also aroused some interest in what he might have in mind in the future when it comes to his attempts to get people to actually believe global warming is a giant hoax created by a secret conspiracy of leading world scientists.
Let's first consider the recent Arctic ice records. According to news stories, the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. reported that only 24 percent of the Arctic Ocean was covered in ice at one point this month, the least amount ever recorded. The previous low was 29 percent in 2007.
Melting Arctic ice will lead to high seas and changing weather patterns, including more severe weather events, and could eventually be catastrophic to some coastal communities because of lost land and property. Climatologists believe man-made carbon emissions produced by fossil fuels-oil, coal and natural gas-contribute heavily to global warming.
Along with the intense melting of the Arctic ice cap, this summer has seen record temperatures throughout the U.S.-July was the hottest month on record-and an extended drought throughout the Midwest, which have been tied to global warming. The massive West Nile virus outbreak in the country this summer has also been blamed on global warming.
The signs, then, point in just the opposite direction of Inhofe's years-long effort to discredit climate science. Inhofe has published a book, The Greatest Hoax: How the Global Warming Conspiracy Threatens Your Future, which outlines his unscientific and radical views about climate change.
This summer, as far as I can tell, Inhofe has been relatively quiet on the new signs that global warming is a serious issue, just regurgitating his old positions. His official web site, for example, doesn't yet address the issue of record Arctic ice melting. (He did participate in a debate about global warming on the Senate floor.) Perhaps, he's been too busy trying to stop same-sex marriages at military facilities to respond to evidence that seemingly refutes his arguments about global warming, but his constituents deserve a straight-forward explanation if only because he has spent so much time and energy on the issue.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City native Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat who is running for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts, brought up Inhofe in a recent debate with Scott Brown, the Republican incumbent. (I recently wrote about Warren here.) According to ThinkProgress, this is what Warren said:
Sen. Brown has been going around the country, talking to people, saying, you've got to contribute to his campaign because it may be for the control of the Senate. And he's right. … What that would mean is if the Republicans take over control of the Senate, Jim Inhofe would become the person who would be in charge of the committee that oversees the Environmental Protection Agency. He's a man that has called global warming 'a hoax.' In fact, that's the title of his book.
That's a convincing argument, but it also points out how much Inhofe has become a symbol of scorn throughout many areas of the country and even the world. It was notable that Brown distanced himself from Oklahoma's Senator by telling Warren, "You're not running against Jim Inhofe . . .," and then extolling his own bipartisanship.
Inhofe has received $511,250 in campaign contributions since 2007 from the oil and gas industry, which explains, to a certain point, why he fights against any federal regulation that might be based on environmental concerns. But Inhofe has taken his anti-environment fight to a polarizing extreme that doesn't benefit the state's long-term interests and, in fact, brings us ridicule at every turn.

Historic Virginia Freedmen's Bureau Records Now Available, 9 July 2009
Jul 9th, 2009 by Charles Rice Bourland, Jr.
Governor Timothy M. Kaine of Virginia today announced that the historic Virginia Freedmen's Bureau records, the earliest major compilation of information on the African-American community, have been extracted and indexed, and are now available online to historians and family history researchers.
Under the direction of the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia and in collaboration with FamilySearch, volunteers digitized the records of names, marriages, educational pursuits, work contracts, health care and legal services and other important information from the Virginia Freedmen's Bureau. The records can now be viewed temporarily at the FamilySearch <http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#p=allCollections;r=0> web site, and negotiations are currently ongoing to permanently host the records through the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture.
"This project is exciting for Virginia and for the world," Governor Kaine said. "What we have done is helped preserve the legacy of those nearly four million freedmen who at the end of the Civil War stepped out of slavery and into freedom."
In October 2006, Governor Kaine announced that Virginia would be the first state to participate in an historic project to index and digitize the Freedmen's Bureau records, allowing historians and descendants of emancipated slaves, freed Blacks and Black Union soldiers to access historical data, much of which was never before available. Participation in this historically significant project, as well as collaboration with key national organizations, continues Virginia's prominent role in preserving America's history and legacies.
Building on Virginia's trailblazing effort, the project now moves to the remaining states in which the Freedmen's Bureau had established headquarters. FamilySearch which initiated this project at the request of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), will provide direct administrative support for this important second phase of the freedmen project.
The Governor also announced that the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia will continue to play a leading role in helping to ensure that all of the freedmen records—Freedmen's Bureau, Freedman's Bank, and other Freedmen records not included in the NARA archives— are brought together into one place and made accessible to the public. To this end, the Museum will be involved in three important, freedmen-related projects:
• Collaboration with FamilySearch and other national organizations to encourage African-American participation in the second phase of the freedmen records extraction and indexing project;
• Collaboration with other national organizations in an effort to identify the freedmen marriage records that remain in the counties, libraries and other locations throughout the South; a blue ribbon coordinating committee will be appointed to plan, seek funding for, and oversee this project;
• In partnership with the U.S. Census Bureau, develop an educational program that highlights the role played by three historically significant record sets – the freedmen records, the 1870 census, and the 1880 census – in documenting and identifying the freedmen as they emerged from slavery at the end of the Civil War.
"The digitization of information from the freedmen records will greatly aid students of history and genealogy in better understanding the freedmen era, commonly known by historians as Reconstruction," said Dr. Maureen Elgersman Lee, Executive Director of the Black History Museum.
The Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, commonly called the Freedmen's Bureau, was established by the U.S. Congress in 1865 to assist refugees and freedmen following the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation. The Bureau sought to establish systems of education, health care and opportunity to support recently emancipated African-Americans until it's dissolution in 1872.
Under the direction of the Black History Museum and Cultural Center of Virginia and in collaboration with FamilySearch, volunteers digitized the records of names, marriages, educational pursuits, work contracts, health care and legal services and other important information from the Virginia Freedmen's Bureau. The records can now be viewed temporarily at the FamilySearch web site, and negotiations are currently ongoing to permanently host the records through the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Nerd Nite SF #14: Ancient Rome, Cephalopod Sex, and Bed Bugs
Wednesday, 7/20
Doors at 7:30, show at 8
Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell St @ Van Ness
Here in San Francisco, July is NOT the month for chasing ice cream trucks, running around in sprinklers, and wearing cut-offs and tank tops. No, it is the month of advection fog. And we like it that way! But don't let the fog roll into your brain; come check out three talks that are guaranteed to get you hot, a little bothered, and a lot smarter! A history buff recounts all the good stuff your teacher left out of the ancient Rome lesson, an aquatic biologist talks "ceph sex," and a pest-control pundit explains how not to let the bed bugs bite. Be there and be square at your friendly, neighborhood nerdy-lecture-series-in-a-bar!
"Hail Caesar!: The DOs and DON'Ts of Roman Dictatorship" by Caleb Bushner
Take a tour of the history, customs, and culture of the ancient Romans: who they were, what they accomplished, and how they shaped our modern world. And, of course, their murderous and dysfunctional political system that somehow endured for several centuries. There WILL be an assassination drinking game!
Caleb is an amateur Roman history buff and a professional nerd. He's spent the past two years studying Rome, geeking out on primary source material and peer-reviewed scholarship, and wants to share the exciting stuff, while sparing you the trouble of all those paper cuts from old books.
"Boneless Sex: How Cephalopods Make Sweet, Sweet Love" by Richard Ross
Octopus, cuttlefish, nautilus, and squid are not just smart, not just masters of camouflage, but also masters of reproduction! This talk, which amounts to ceph porn, is packed with dirty pictures and dirty video of your favorite 8-armed animals in various stages of dirty relations, from the deed itself to "birth."
Richard works as an aquatic biologist at the Steinhart Aquarium in the California Academy of Sciences, maintaining many exhibits – including the 212,000-gallon Philippine Coral Reef – and caring for many cephalopods. An avid underwater videographer who has scuba dived all over the world, he enjoys spending time with his patient wife, his incredible daughter, and their menagerie of animals, both wet and dry.
"Do You Know Who You're Going to Bed With? Protecting Yourself From Bed Bugs in the Modern Era" by Brittany Clark
It's the dead of night. You're curled up snug in your bed, sound asleep. But wait! Dramatic music swells and an ominous figure appears at your bedside. The audience screams, but you slumber on, blissfully unaware as this creature leans in to consume your blood. Even in the recesses of sleep, you feel something. You stir and waken. The beast quickly retreats, but you don't have to see it to know the horror that has come to you. You have just been bitten…by a bed bug! Despite the fact that we have lived with bed bugs since the first caveman threw down some animal hides and curled up for a nap, most of us have only ever heard of them in nursery rhymes and media horror stories. What are the real dangers of bed bugs and how can we protect ourselves?
Brittany is a licensed field representative and bed bug specialist for Pestec Integrated Pest Management company in San Francisco. She has a B.S. in psychobiology from the University of New England. She's a Leo who likes long walks on the beach, dogs, and protecting her bed from parasites.

Witness the world's finest throttle locks produced by world renowned Throttlemeister. In case you are not familiar with the product, it is essentially a bar end, mechanical, cruise control for motorcycle. Tired of a numb throttle hand? Ready to stop and rest your hand after less than an hour in the twisties? Stupid question, huh? Here's the first and only solution, my friends for when the road turns straight, boring, and painful. IMHO a Throttlemeister is the most important and useful accessory you can add to your sport bike. I have one on all my bikes.
Pirates Lair offers kits for the BMW K1300S, K1200S, K1200R, K1200R Sport, S1000RR as well as kits for the venerable BMW K1200RS. For the 1998-2004 K1200RS, we offer a black or silver standard heavy version as well as special orders upon request. The K1200RS standard heavy version works fine with or without heated grips. Expect about a 1 week wait for our RS version. Throttlemeister makes TWO versions for the K1300S, K1200S, K1200R, and K1200R Sport.. BOTH work with the heated grips. We carry only the short version in Silver and Black for those bikes. They work the same.. We sell the heavy version for the K1200RS because it "looks" right on that bike. Some prefer the weight of the heavy version but IMHO it just doesn't look as good on most bikes. However, we can special order the long/heavy version for an additional $25.
Lastly..Our S1000RR Throttlemeister is compatible with heated grips.
Machined from bulletproof billet stainless steel & ampco bronze, your Throttlemeister will maintain it's smooth and solid operating feel for years to come. The inside is sealed by "O" rings to keep out dirt and water so there is no need to worry about rust and/or corrosion. These are virtually maintenance free.. No need for any lubrication.. ever. and another perk.. they actually look good on the bike!
Once you've mounted the Throttlemeister bar ends to you bike, they work like this... All of the workings of the Throttlemeister are inside the bar end itself. Once mounted, you turn the whole bar end in the same direction as opening the throttle. A piston moves in and out of the Throttlemeister itself and puts friction against the throttle tube which in turn, counteracts the throttle return spring. When installed properly, the Throttlemeister will not completely lock the throttle, you can always override it in any situation. If you need to stop quickly you can just grab the throttle and turn it off. It can even be operated wearing heavy gloves.
Install: How hard is it? It's about a 15 minute/ 1 beer job using basic tools.
Bottom line...this is a solution to a serious problem for some us us. After one long ride I was spoiled and now, like my radar detector, I couldn't do with out it.. Trust me.. you're gonna love the difference this affords you for every day street or touring riding.
Aftermarket Bars Compatibility: K1200S, K1300S, S1000RR, HP4 Throttlemeisters are compatible with Verholen risers, Heli-Bars, and IDI Designs Risers.

Pennsylvania GOP Lawmakers Say Analysis Finds Presidential Election Numbers Don't Add Up
By Tom Ozimek
A group of Pennsylvania lawmakers has claimed a "troubling discrepancy" between the number of votes counted and the number of voters who voted in the 2020 election, alleging that the certification of presidential election results was "absolutely premature, unconfirmed, and in error."
The Republican lawmakers said in a statement on Dec. 28 that their analysis is based on a comparison of official county election results to the total number of voters who voted on Nov. 3 in Pennsylvania.
They said that Department of State figures show "that 6,962,607 total ballots were reported as being cast, while DoS/SURE system records indicate that only 6,760,230 total voters actually voted."
Among the 6,962,607 total ballots cast, 6,931,060 total votes were counted in the presidential race, including for all three candidates on the ballot and write-in candidates, according to the lawmakers.
They said the difference of 202,377 more votes cast than voters voting, together with the 31,547 over- and under-votes in the presidential race, adds up to a discrepancy of 170,830 votes, which is more than twice the reported statewide difference between President Donald Trump and Democrat challenger Joe Biden.
"These numbers just don't add up, and the alleged certification of Pennsylvania's presidential election results was absolutely premature, unconfirmed, and in error," the lawmakers wrote.
The Pennsylvania secretary of state's office didn't immediately respond to a request by The Epoch Times for comment. A spokesperson for Kathy Boockvar, Pennsylvania's secretary of state, told The Washington Examiner in a statement that the Republican lawmakers' "so-called analysis was based on incomplete data" and that both state and federal judges "have sifted through hundreds of pages of unsubstantiated and false allegations and found no evidence of fraud or illegal voting."
Certified results of the election in Pennsylvania put Biden ahead of Trump by 80,555 votes.
A review of the DoS/SURE system records indicates that there were 4,216,030 ballots cast in-person on Election Day in Pennsylvania; 2,637,065 mail and absentee ballots were cast and counted for the election; and 115,899 provisional ballots were cast, of which 90,684 were counted, 5,644 were partially counted, and 19,571 were rejected. This yields 6,949,423 votes counted, including those partially counted.
The DoS/SURE system also shows 9,090,962 as the certified voter registration number, and notes that 76.5 percent of this was the general election voter turnout, which yields 6,954,586 as the number of registered voters who voted.
According to the Pennsylvania Department of State figures, Biden received 3,458,229 votes, Trump received 3,377,674 votes, and Libertarian candidate Jo Jorgensen received 79,380, for a total of 6,915,283 votes cast in the presidential election.

Indoor Track Nationals warm-up
March 30, 2019 · by The Diamond Editor	· in Sports, Spring 2019.	·
Sawyer Strelnieks – Staff Writer
Many Dordt Track and Field athletes finished their indoor season a couple weeks ago with a trip to the NAIA indoor nationals at SDSU. Everyone on Dordt's team saw steady improvement in their events leading up to the nationals meet.
The men's 4x800m relay team finished in second place with a time of 7:43.42.
Senior Ike VanKempen had his best weight throw of the year at nationals, placing fourth with a distance of 19.01m.
Junior Matthew Van Eps finished 5th in the 600m run with a time of 1:19.16.
Freshman Eric Steiger finished 8th in the 5,000m run with a time of 15:07.52.
Senior Joscelyn Wind competed in the Indoor Pentathlon and scored 3,070 points in her events.
"Even at nationals, when only a few people were running, there were still 20 or so teammates who spent most of their afternoon and night driving to come support those who were racing, and it was incredibly humbling," Steiger said. "It's truly amazing how supportive the Dordt track team is to one another, and it really shows a lot about the team's character."
With the indoor season now in the rearview mirror, the Dordt track team has begun training for the outdoor season. Some athletes began training during spring break as soon as nationals were over. Others took the week off to rest and mentally prepare for the next stretch of outdoor practices and meets.
"It is always fun to run with friends that push you to compete and train your best," Van Eps said. "Outdoor season is definitely easier on your body, and, after seeing the same walls and being cooped up all winter, it is definitely time to run outside."
The outdoor season is a continuation of the indoor season for most athletes, as they continue to get faster and stronger through training for their events that carry over into the outdoor season.
"Preparation for the meets involves working as much technical improvement as we can during the practices, and then staying as strong and explosive as we can with lifting and workouts, timing them appropriately so I'm recovered and fresh at the meets," VanKempen said. "It's awesome to see how confidence and performance levels rise throughout the season as we compete and put in work."
The Dordt Track team is looking forward to a great outdoor season as they continue to build on their indoor season.
"I think the team will do great things this year, and I couldn't be happier to have my last outdoor season with this team," said Wind.
Athletes are biting at the bit to get outside and compete after a long and cold winter here in northern Iowa. Dordt's first outdoor track meet this year is scheduled for March 22 in Wayne, Nebraska, as long as the weather cooperates.

This past weekend we went to Rika's Roadhouse up here in the interior. It was quite fun actually. I thought I would share a snippet of information, and a few photos along the way. I'm sorry the pictures are a tad blurry, I didn't realize I had the flash on, until we were almost through!
Rika's Roadhouse is the centerpiece of the park. The house served travelers on the historic Valdez-to-Fairbanks Trail from 1913 to 1947. John Hajdukovich had the north-south section of this log structure built in 1913. The Valdez-to-Fairbanks Trail was being improved at this time and the roadhouse was a center of activity for gold stampeders, local hunters, traders, and freighters.
In 1917 Hajdukovich hired a Swedish immigrant named Rika Wallen to operate the roadhouse which prospered under her management. In 1923 she bought it from Hajdukovich for "$10.00 and other considerations," presumably in lieu of wages. The roadhouse was named "Rika's" following local custom. Rika operated the roadhouse through the 1940's, although in later years guests were by invitation only.
Also located in the park is a Washington Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System (WAMCATS) station. In 1900 it took a year to send a message from interior Alaska to Washington D.C. and receive an answer. To speed communications, the US Signal Corps, a branch of the Army, built the WAMCATS. After part of the original line burned, the line was moved to parallel the new Valdez-Fairbanks Trail.
wagon road. The ARC also installed a ferry at Big Delta to allow travelers safe passage across the Tanana River.
hypothermia, frostbite, and even death.
ARC road improvements eventually allowed for automobiles. By 1926, the trip from Valdez to Fairbanks could be accomplished in two days.
obsolete. With the completion of the Alcan Highway, the population of Big Delta moved to the junction of the Alcan and Richardson highways, signaling the end of an era.
There is a lot of history that I personally would never have thought about while living in the other 49 states.

Feds seek threatened status for some sage grouse
JASON DEAREN
Published 10:45 am EDT, Friday, October 25, 2013
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Federal wildlife officials on Friday proposed to list as threatened populations of greater sage grouse in Nevada and California in an effort to save the struggling species, a decision that promises to have wide-ranging effects on mineral and energy development in the West.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service found that invasive species and energy development in the desert have had a devastating effect on the large, ground-dwelling bird's populations, said Ted Koch, Nevada state supervisor for the service.
"It's not the 11th hour for sage grouse here, but it is maybe the 10th hour," Koch said. "And that's good news. It means we have some time and space to turn things around."
The service found multiple threats facing this specific sub-population of the sage grouse, a chicken-size bird whose males have a large white tuft of feathers around their necks.
The service estimates there are only about 5,000 of the birds left.
Non-native pinyon pine and juniper trees introduced to the habitat, coupled with the power lines that crisscross through the area have given low-to-the-ground perches for raptors, which eat the grouse, Koch said.
The service also found that an invasive grass from Asia that burns easily has helped decimate sagebrush, which is key to the grouse's survival. The cheat grass rebounds after wildfires much quicker than sagebrush.
The final decision on the service's proposal will occur next year, and the public will have 60 days to comment and there will be two public meetings to discuss the findings, one in Bishop, Calif. and the other in Smith Valley, Nev.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada said the decision will have "major ramifications" on the way of life in parts of Nevada and California.
Ranchers, miners and energy developers who use the mostly public lands that serve as the sage grouse's habitat have opposed the listing, saying it would have a deep economic impact in the rural West.
"This listing is further proof that we need to work together to protect sensitive species before they get to such a dismal point and negatively affect our rural economies," Reid said in a statement.
Friday's proposed listing comes as the service is also determining whether the entire western sage grouse population should be protected under the Endangered Species.
The Center for Biological Diversity, which sued the service to protect the sage grouse, said the decision was long overdue.
"The sage grouse we have here in Nevada and California is a true symbol of all that is wild -- what a relief that it's finally getting the protection it needs to survive," Rob Mrowka, a Nevada-based center ecologist, said in a statement.

Scientists in India have discovered a new bright reddish-orange coloured frog, which has been named Raorchestes resplendens. The new species has multiple glands and extremely short limbs and seems to be located only on the highest mountain peak of the Western Ghats in India. The frog was found in the Eravikulam National Park and is restricted to an area of just 3 square km near the summit of Anamudi. Despite intensive searches in suitable habitats close to the locality, the team of scientists, from Delhi University and University of Brussels, were unable to locate this species in any other place. The BBC have more on this story - click here.


The swells overnight were not as high as previously predicted, so all sailings are going ahead and currently running to schedule. However there are many road closures affecting passengers ability to get to their sailings on time.
State Highway 1 (North Island) north of Pukerua Bay is currently down to one lane due to damage caused by the storm. This is causing significant delays for traffic. If clients are travelling to a sailing from Wellington to Picton today they will need to allow extra travel time.
State Highway 1 (South Island) north and south of Kaikoura is currently closed. If passengers are travelling from Christchurch or Kaikoura they will need to take an alternative route. The road will be closed at least overnight.

Nicolas Cage's wife of four days seeks spousal support
By Gina Salamone
Nicolas Cage (r.) and make-up artist Erika Koike. (MPNC/Backgrid)
Nicolas Cage's estranged wife may have hit the jackpot even though their Las Vegas marriage only lasted four days.
Erika Koike is asking for spousal support, according to legal documents obtained by TMZ, claiming she missed out on job opportunities due to her relationship with the "Moonstruck" star and that her reputation has been hurt by his allegations. She also wants him to pay for her legal fees.
The pair tied the knot on March 23 after applying for a marriage license that same day. Just four days later, Cage, 55, submitted paperwork to have the marriage annulled.
Cage stated in his annulment request that he and his new wife Koike, a makeup artist, had been "drinking to the point of intoxication" before getting hitched, and that he "lacked understanding" of what was happening, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.
"As a result of his intoxication, when Defendant suggested to Plaintiff they should marry, Plaintiff reacted on impulse and without the ability to recognize or understand the full impact of his actions," the document states.

Cage also claims that Koike did not disclose her "criminal history."
The pair had reportedly been dating since last April.
It's the fourth marriage for Cage, who was previously married to Patricia Arquette, Lisa Marie Presley and Alice Kim.

Our cobia regulations for 2016 have been established for the 2016 fishing year effective June 1, 2016. VSSA has been working on cobia since October and the fight is far from over. VSSA has attended many meetings, conducted polls, reached out to members, listened to angler concerns, but at the end of the day it came down to a vote by our VMRC Associate Commissioners. Dr. Ken Neill, one of the Associate Commissioners, was very vocal about keeping our season open and although nobody is completely happy with the results, it is better than a closure. Thanks Dr. Neill for your efforts to influence the other board members.
Here are our new regulations effective June 1st. (note: use the official VMRC site for fishing regulations before heading out).
1 cobia per angler 40 inches or greater total length.
Maximum of 2 cobia per vessel for all vessels, private, charter, and inspected vessels (head boats).
Only 1 of the 2 fish may be over 50 inches. (note you can have 2 fish between 40 and 50 inches)
Pier and surf fisherman 1 fish per person 40 inches or better.
Gaffing of cobia is prohibited.
Federal waters close June 20 (3 – 200 miles out from shore). The Chesapeake Bay is all State waters, not Federal waters.
Catch and release remains open and unlimited. Release citation may still be registered all year.
Season closes August 30.
Landing permits will be required for everyone that comes with mandatory reporting. If you fail to report or submit did not fish reports you risk not getting a permit the following year. If you don't have a cobia permit and land a cobia while targeting other species (like flounder) you must obtain one online (for free) before bringing that cobia home.
VSSA will continue to be directly involved in the cobia issue as next up is the amendment for the cobia FMP that will affect our 2017 season. We must pay close attention to this so Virginia is represented.
Here is the article from the Pilot Online.
http://pilotonline.com/news/local/environment/vmrc-changes-cobia-regulations-to-allow-season-to-remain-open/article_48133cd6-3cdb-5220-8a12-550bf742a663.html
The Virginia Marine Resources Commission on Tuesday voted 5-4 to keep the state's cobia season open until Aug. 30, but not without several drastic changes in regulation.
After an outcry from anglers over a South Atlantic Marine Fishery Council order to close the fishery from Georgia to New York on June 20, state agencies had sought a compromise that would keep fishing open . Federal fisheries managers had requested that states adopt the closure after catches of the popular species spiked well over the Allowable Catch Limit last year.
North Carolina last week opted to keep its season open until Sept. 30, but with several regulations that angered recreational fishermen – including only being able to keep fish Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Charter and pier anglers can keep fish seven days a week.
Virginia's new regulations, which will go into effect June 1, were met with mixed emotions.
In Virginia waters inside of 3 miles from the coast, anglers will have a one-fish-per-person limit, up to a two-fish maximum per boat. Fish must be at least 40 inches long and only one can top 50 inches. Gaffing no longer will be permitted in an effort to lower fish mortality for catch-and-release action. Some form of mandatory reporting will be put in place.
"This is a conservation measure to keep our economy going and give our anglers time and give the feds time to fix their mess," said Commissioner Ken Neill, Virginia's representative to the International Game Fish Association. "This is much more restrictive than we've ever fished."
The catching of cobia will not be permitted in federal waters 3 miles and out off either state after June 20.
A closure on June 20 in state waters would have affected the Virginia economy, anglers and several commissioners argued.
"I would have been more satisfied with a three-fish limit," said Capt. Jorj Head, a teacher who spends the season taking charters out for cobia. "I can live with it for this season, but I wouldn't use the word happy. It is better than a closure."
Jonathan French from Northern Virginia put in an extensive research effort to fight the closure in both states, finding information that the SAMFC closure had violated at least two standards in the Magnuson Stevens Act designed to protect fisheries and user groups.
"I have a problem that Virginia chose a shorter season and less limits than North Carolina," he said. "And I was disgusted that some of the members (of the VRMC) didn't do any research on this before the meeting even though I provided them with everything. It's unjust when you acknowledge that federal laws were violated when determining the June 20 closure.
"When you look at the charters that have more than two customers, it's going to have an impact."
John Bull, head of the VMRC, said he was nervous about defying the SAMFC call for closure on June 20, but said he believes the commission took a good path.
"I think the commission took prudent and deliberate action after four hours of discussion and information gathering," Bull said. "This was a very difficult decision for an important fishery. It's hard to assess what the long-term ramifications will be.
"No one has a crystal ball for stuff like this."
