Lawmakers and a federal appeals court last year defeated a federal plan to save endangered whales by eradicating New England’s lobster industry. With those plans undone, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is crafting a workaround scheme to regulate lobstermen out of the fishery.Recent years have been brutal going for lobstermen, such that the survival of our trade is highly uncertain. Lobstermen are at once negotiating higher fuel costs, higher bait costs, higher shipping costs, and an agitation campaign from dark money nonprofits trained on major buyers of Maine lobster products. NOAA’s new regulatory plan is poised to decimate our inventory.NOAA’s new plan – a rule promulgated under the Marine Mammal Protection Act – would expand an existing restricted area, where lobster fishing is banned for three months each year. The scope of the expansion is unclear as of this writing, but any expansion is unwelcome as a matter of precedent and a practical business mat...Chocolate chips amp up moist banana bread

Bananas are a versatile fruit that can be eaten right off the bunch or utilized in a bevy of recipes. Characterized as the first “superfood” endorsed by the American Medical Association in the early 20th century, bananas contain potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, fiber, and manganese. A banana’s flavor starts out as mildly sweet and gains more sweetness as it ripens. Very ripe bananas, or those that have brown speckled skins, don’t need to be discarded. They make perfect additions to baked goods, notably banana bread.Before tossing out brown bananas, consider this recipe for “Chocolate Chip Banana Bread” courtesy of Jenna Barnard and the Butternut Bakery Blog.TAG GOES HEREChocolate Chip Banana BreadINGREDIENTS1 1/2 cups ripe and mashed banana (3 to 4 medium bananas), measured1/2 cup packed light brown sugar1/2 cup granulated sugar1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted2 large eggs1 teaspoon vanilla extract1/2 cup 2% Greek yogurt (sour cream also works)1 1/...Check out these Halloween events for fun & frights

The current crisis sparked by Hamas’ surprise terrorist attack on Israel has roiled college campuses far and wide. Essentially, two camps have emerged within our student bodies – those sympathetic to Israel, and those sympathetic to the plight of the Palestinians in Gaza. This is a time that calls for exceptional wisdom and sound judgment by college administrators, and yet these two commodities seem in rather short supply.At Harvard University in Cambridge, newly installed President Claudine Gay, after first declining to take a public stance, concluded that she should issue a statement when Palestinian sympathizers within the student body outrageously excused the slaughter by Hamas, instead choosing to highlight the righteousness of their political cause. Gay’s statement, in relevant part, said: “As the events of recent days continue to reverberate, let there be no doubt that I condemn the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.” She noted that regardless of one’s political views...Latest news
