Absolute wrong lesson to take from this. We need to stop building more and more high density housing in flood zones paving over permeable ground and marshland and forests and swamps and farmland that act as natural drainage systems

Asbury Park New Jersey is underwater. Lots of cars submerged and businesses closed.

NJ doesn't have the $$$ needed to protect residents from extreme weather. Example #♾️ of why we need to pass the Polluters Pay Act which currently sits on the Assembly and Senate floor.

The US Navy operates a 50,000 acre forest in Indiana whose entire job is keeping one wooden ship from 1797 afloat.

The ship is USS Constitution, still a commissioned warship with an active-duty crew. Cannonballs bounced off her in 1812 because the hull sandwiches a wall of live oak ribs between two layers of white oak planking, nearly 2 feet of solid wood so dense it barely floats. British 18-pounders hit it and dropped into the sea. A sailor yelled "her sides are made of iron" and the nickname stuck.

Here's the problem with owning a 229-year-old wooden ship: you can't buy the parts. Hull planks run up to 40 feet long and 7 inches thick, cut from single white oak trunks. A white oak takes over a century to grow that big. No lumberyard on earth stocks it.

So the Navy grows its own. Constitution Grove at Naval Support Activity Crane holds trees over 100 years old, reserved exclusively for this ship. Foresters there are managing oaks today that will become hull planking in the 2100s. The maintenance plan literally runs on tree time.

Every 20 years or so she enters dry dock and shipwrights swap out rotted timber. After two centuries of this, estimates put original 1797 wood at maybe 10 to 15 percent of the ship. The Navy keeps replacing her plank by plank because Congress mandated her preservation and because she's the only active US warship that has sunk an enemy vessel.

Every other asset in the Navy has a decommission date. This one has a tree farm.

MONMOUTH PARK GRANTED $10 MILLION PURSE SUPPLEMENT FOR 2027 RACING SEASON AS GOVERNOR SHERRILL SIGNS NEW BUDGET

OCEANPORT, N.J. – Monmouth Park is set to receive the annual $10 million purse subsidy in 2027, thanks to the state budget signed by New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill late Tuesday night.

“We are grateful to the Governor and the entire legislature for recognizing how important horse racing is to New Jersey,” said Dennis Drazin, Chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park.  “In addition to a personal thank you to Governor Sherrill, I want to thank Senators Vin Gopal and Paul Sarlo for their tireless work to support this industry and appreciating its impact across the State.”

In addition to its vital role of preserving farmland and the agricultural support services that come with it, horse racing in the Garden State provides an economic impact of over $4 billion, accounts for nearly 4,000 jobs, and provides over $75 million in tax revenues.

“As anyone in business knows, uncertainty is the enemy,” Drazin added. “With $10 million secured for next year’s purses, we can move on from uncertainty and continue to build a better industry and a better Monmouth Park.”

The 2026 Monmouth Park racing seasons runs through Sept. 13, with the highlight of the meet, the Grade 1, $1 million NYRA Bets Haskell set for July 18.

@barshoelife Never been able to get in there!

Our default at Silver Bulletin is AP style, so it's "Turkey," not "Türkiye". But I think AP is right in this case; it's a big ask to request that your official name in another language requires a special character.

@Cory_Gaff @barshoelife Much better beach options that Long Branch and Asbury. Belmar, Spring Lake, Monmouth Beach, Manasquan all nicer beaches. Asbury park great for restaurants/bars

Like honestly "it's going to take us several weeks to tell you who won the election" is failed state shit and should be much more stigmatized.

Gonna do an unsolicited plug here: If you are in gaming and enjoy just learning about the business, there really is no better conference than the @UNLVigi #GamblingConf. Regulators, academics, industry execs all find so much to take from this event.

Frame this. UIGEA does not make any type of gaming security legal or illegal despite what many said during the DFS 1.0 saga. Nice to see a federal judge get it

[Daniel Wallach @WALLACHLEGAL]

"Defendants also argue is that the UIGEA affirmatively authorizes its online sports betting, even if it occurs on Indian lands without permission from and regulated by a tribe. However, unlike IGRA or other gambling regulations, UIGEA does not make gambling legal or illegal."

I’m grateful for the swift and decisive action of the Secret Service at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner this evening. While we wait for more information, we pray for the continued safety of President Trump, the First Lady, and all Cabinet members and attendees.
