c.gates@nd.edu Notre Dame News © 2025 University of Notre Dame Longtime Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissioner Rodney Barreto is gliding toward a Senate confirmation for another five-year-term despite public pushback and questions about submerged lands he owns on Singer Island that his company once sought to develop Barreto, who has served on the board that is charged with protecting the state’s wildlife and wildlands for two decades was called to testify last month by lawmakers besieged by letters and calls opposing the lobbyist and developer’s reappointment Specific to Palm Beach County is a concern addressed during a March 31 hearing of the Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources about the approximately 19 acres of environmentally sensitive land Barreto owns on Singer Island just south of John D an application was filed with the South Florida Water Management District that proposed 330 condominiums a 50-slip marina and 15 single-family homes for the seagrass-rich property It would have required filling in 12.2 acres of ecologically sensitive areas of the Lake Worth Lagoon and dredging 4.1 acres The water management district balked at the request saying in a 13-page response that staff had “considerable concerns.” The application was subsequently withdrawn Barreto said at the March 31 hearing that were discussions at one time about what could be done on the land but that there are no current applications for any development there asked if there ever was an application to develop the land Barreto did not respond to requests for an interview or to reconcile the 2018 application with his answer on the proposal last month But environmentalists said his response to Harrell's question is just one of a handful of inconsistencies including a 2021 statement that he was selling the Singer Island parcels and an October 2024 lawsuit involving the properties that surround his dealings with the land he said Palm Beach County wanted him to donate for preservation Palm Beach County wanted me to give them the land I’m not in the business of buying land and giving land to people I’m in the business of making money,” Barreto said at the March 31 hearing spoke at the same hearing about her concerns that Barreto’s lobbying and development businesses are a conflict of interest with protecting wildlife “How can you make unbiased decisions when you are making money representing people and using exceptional connections expertise and influence across industry sectors?” she said Fate of Singer Island submerged lands date back a centuryBarreto is a former Miami policeman and a longtime power player in government circles statewide a lobbying firm with offices in Tallahassee and Miami which specializes in corporate and public affairs consulting He chaired the Super Bowl Host Committee in 2007 and is co-chair of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Host Committee Barreto’s limited liability company Government Lot 1 bought the two submerged properties on Singer Island in 2016 for $425,000 The land was once owned by the state’s Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund (TIITF) the state sold about 311 acres of property in the Lake Worth Lagoon with the allowance that buyers could “bulkhead and fill” the submerged lands More: A new black bear hunt in Florida? FWC seeking public feedback on proposal Part of what remains untouched is the land purchased by Barreto’s Coral Gables-based LLC “That is one of the most productive high-density sea grass areas in the Lake Worth Lagoon and we know it is used by a variety of species,” said Palm Beach County Director of Environmental Resources Management Deborah Drum “We’ve been interested in willing sellers in that area for a long time but we are constrained at the county based on the appraisal who owns a dock and marine construction company in Miami said he is the person who filed the 2018 application to develop the land after a casual conversation with Barreto about its potential opportunities Larson said he had made inquiries with the state but was told he needed to submit an official application. He said he haphazardly came up with a proposal, drafted an application and took it to Barreto’s office. Larson was first interviewed about the property by the Florida Phoenix “I filled out the paperwork and pushed it in front of him and he signed it.” Larson said the idea was just to get something in front of state officials so they could begin a discussion about what could be done with the land Although the printed name on the application is attorney Richard Barbara the signature matches Barreto’s from FWC documents Lake Worth Waterkeeper Reinaldo Diaz is dubious of the idea that Barreto is unaware of the application “(Barreto) is a savvy businessman worth millions of dollars,” Diaz said “People aren’t worth millions of dollars without knowing what they are signing.” Barreto was the driving force behind a 2020 legal action filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court to reopen a 1990 order that gave previous owners the right to fill but not dredge Singer Island land without permits from the state The original 1990 suit was filed by Palm Beach Isles Associates The 2020 action says that the “parcel owner” submitted an application to the Florida Department of Environmental Protection and water management district in 2018 for permits to dredge “Parcel owner now has a desire to fill and dredge portions of its property” and the state should acknowledge that no permit is required from environmental agencies In an email to a Palm Beach Post reporter at the time Barreto said the state sold and conferred the right to develop the submerged land More: Loxahatchee Wildlife Refuge goes on offense to fight invasive Burmese python spread "Although I will not be directly participating in any decision by the (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission) I am prepared to take appropriate action in response to any unlawful interference with my property rights," Barreto wrote I will continue to exercise the duties of my position with the FFWCC in a manner that vigorously protects the state's resources without abusing its governmental authority in a manner that fails to seek a balance that shows due respect for vested private property rights." The 2020 suit was dropped after public outcry Barreto told The Miami Herald in March 2021 that he was selling the Singer Island properties He said they were under contract and would “no longer be part of my portfolio.” and in October 2024 Barreto filed another lawsuit in Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the City of Riviera Beach claiming that it took his properties without compensation when it passed an ordinance that designates them as “special preservation.” The ordinance requires the properties remain in their natural state Barreto wants fair market value for the properties as of the date of the 2020 ordinance Total market value according to the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser was $150,000 in 2020 who also owns submerged lands on Singer Island filed a petition with the county saying that the Riviera Beach decision affected the market value Barreto’s Riviera Beach lawsuit is on hold pending an appeal by Lozman to the U.S Supreme Court on a similar case against the city “We know better now and try to do better,” said Everglades Law Center Executive Director Lisa Interlandi about developing Florida’s submerged lands “That’s why we believe it is so important to save them.” Barreto said he didn’t know why so many people were opposing his appointment and speculated that it was because of a crackdown on selling and buying invasive animals Barreto was first appointed to the FWC by Gov More: Editorial: A reprieve for Singer Island shoreland - for now Barreto was approved by the Environment and Natural Resources committee and went on to be approved by the Senate Committee on Ethics and Elections on April 22 A confirmation vote by the full Senate is expected the week of April 27 As far as his plans for the Singer Island property Barreto said March 31 that it will probably be used as mitigation for land that a builder wants to develop elsewhere in the state “Ultimately I’ll sell it to someone for the right price,” Barreto said “I don’t have a gun to my head to sell it at this point.” Senior Social Scientist for Climate Vulnerability and an associate’s degree in geographic information systems and finds solutions to the unequal human health and livelihood impacts of environmental hazards particularly those exacerbated by climate change For text alerts, text "SCIENCE" to 67369 or sign up online Receive urgent alerts about opportunities to defend science.

MLB Trade Rumors By | November 28 The Orioles announced earlier this week that they’ve signed infielder Franklin Barreto to a minor league deal It’s unclear whether or not the deal includes an invitation to big league Spring Training next year He remained a consensus top-100 prospect over the next several years even as his offense took a step back after reaching the upper minors After hitting a solid .281/.340/.413 in 507 trips to the plate at the Double-A level in 2016 Barreto found himself promoted to Triple-A where he failed to put up big numbers despite the inflated offensive environment of the Pacific Coast League Impressive as his .290/.339/.456 slash line at Triple-A in 2017 may look without context it was actually just 3% better than league average by measure of wRC+ Barreto’s peripheral numbers were also lackluster as his strikeout rate jumped nearly ten points from where it was in Double-A leaving his overall slash line propped up by an unsustainable .384 BABIP the A’s promoted Barreto to Oakland for his big league debut in 2017 The cup of coffee did not go especially well as Barreto hit just .197/.250/.352 with an eye-popping 43.4% strikeout rate in 76 trips to the plate That performance was 40% worse than league average by wRC+ and left the infielder once again relegated to shuttling between the Triple-A and big league levels the following year in 2018 Barreto improved on his first taste of big league action the year prior to hit a respectable .233/.253/.493 with a 102 wRC+ While Barreto’s five home runs in 75 plate appearances helped to prop up his overall numbers a 38.3% strikeout rate and a walk rate of just 1.3% suggested he still did not have the necessary plate discipline to be a regular contributor in the majors He made another 18 trips to the plate for the Angels down the stretch that year but struck out at a 44.4% clip while hitting .118/.167/.118 That brief stint with the Angels represents Barreto’s last action in the big leagues he’s spent time in both the Astros and Nationals organizations on minor league deals before departing affiliated ball for the Mexican League’s Diablos Rojos del Mexico earlier this year He primarily plays shortstop but has plenty of experience at second base and center field to go along with at least occasional work everywhere on the diamond except catcher Baltimore Orioles Transactions But That’s still a lot of K’s against Mexican league arms but we also thought that about the Urias waiver claim when it happened and it’s worked out pretty well the A’s traded Josh Donaldson for Brett Lawrie Barreto was the top prospect in that Donaldson trade… gives some perspective on what prospects are Donaldson won the MVP in his first season with the Jays Beane wouldn’t trade Barreto when he still had prospect value bcuz the trade was a disaster from Day 1 and he wanted to prove he knew better than Josh (…AND he didn’t) This signing allows the O’s to deal Gunnar and Holliday for some young arms but a top tier pitcher is worth more than a top tier shortstop Skenes has an extra year of club control which is key because the Pirates would be unable to sign either Skenes or Gunnar to an extension and would eventually have to trade either one I would take Skenes and Chandler for Gunnar personally We’d get by with Holliday and Westburg with a sprinkle of Mateo and Urias hope they don’t waste their window like the Jays with Vlad and Bo they don’t have our genius front office of fo0ls As much as I agree about Stieb this take us so bad it’s hilarious 2 free bonus points if you get the reference here is the player the O’s have been missing the past few years Like old school “didn’t hit a lick” evaluation reference I love my Orioles but what is their obsesion in collecting infielders I love my Orioles but what is their obsesion in collection infielders I suspect Terrin Vavra would still be in the mix as well if not for the bum shoulder I love my Orioles but what is with their obsesion in collecting infielders Oh I forgot Vavra though he can also play Outfielder as O’Hearns Barreto will be the AAA infield assuming Soto makes it through without being DFA’d “Impressive as his .290/.339/.456 slash line at Triple-A in 2017 may look” is not proper English You can’t just leave “as” out at the beginning of the sentence because you feel like it and if you want more people to pay for your site Log in Register MLB Trade Rumors is not affiliated with Major League Baseball Register We're standing up for science.

With just over 120,000 inhabitants, the city was recently awarded the title of Tourist Resort for its historical and cultural importance, which attracts visitors from all over Brazil. In 1956, a group of local boys got together to organize a rodeo. The idea caught on, and today, almost seventy years later, Barretos hosts the biggest annual cattle-raising festival in all of Brazil. The festival traditionally takes place every August in the ‘Os Independentes’ park. There are more than 110 hectares of festivities – the equivalent of 133 soccer fields – with lots of rodeio, sertaneja music and the traditional burning of the garlic. In total, the rodeo arena can accommodate up to 35,000 people seated, or 50,000 standing in the arena and bleachers. This year’s Festa do Peão de Boiadeiro de Barretos runs until August 25th.

single cent in rent The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said Barreto claimed ownership of the hotel building and even attempted to charge rent to another tenant police charged Barreto with filing fraudulent property records two doctors concluded that Barreto didn't understand the criminal proceedings against him and the court ordered him into outpatient treatment for mental health and addiction to see whether his mental condition would improve New York City Criminal Court Judge Cori Weston said she was unsatisfied with the rate of Barreto's treatment and ordered him into inpatient care Weston gave Barreto until November 13 to find a suitable facility His next court appearance is scheduled for the same date told the Times he planned to ask Barreto's current treatment provider the Addiction Institute of Mount Sinai West "We're all sort of in agreement that the substance abuse is leading to some of these other problems and making it impossible to move forward with the case,"

terms and the hotel being unable to evict him Barreto ended up living in the hotel rent-free But free rent at an iconic hotel wasn't enough for Barreto The District Attorney's Office said Barreto later registered the hotel in his name with the Department of Environmental Protection to take control of its bank accounts and demanded rent from a commercial tenant The Unification Church filed a lawsuit in response Though a judge ordered him to stop representing himself as the owner of the hotel When Barreto filed papers with the city claiming ownership of the building again in 2023 the

advance to longer-term assessment of global and regional climate patterns federal agencies provide data that saves lives But if Project 2025–the Heritage Foundation’s blueprint for the incoming second Trump administration–is implemented compromising or outright eliminating the valuable services the approximately 11,000 employees who work there provide to the country  In this post I will focus on Project 2025’s ill-advised designs for NOAA NOAA has many key divisions that perform critical work to inform decision-making around climate change and its impacts Here is a listing of the most important ones The National Hurricane Center‘s (NHC) mission is to “save lives and improve economic efficiency by issuing the best watches and analyses of hazardous tropical weather and by increasing understanding of these hazards” The National Ocean Service (NOS) provides valuable data on economic NOS’s science helps states and communities manage these resources sustainably.  The data produced is essential for global scientific understanding and informs local and national climate policies OAR’s research improves weather forecasting models helping to predict severe weather and air quality issues more accurately These efforts save lives by providing advanced warning and helping communities prepare for hurricanes OAR also monitors the Arctic’s rapidly changing environment as it significantly influences global weather patterns and sea levels From melting sea ice to shifts in marine life this research is vital to understanding and adapting to climate impacts The National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) operates NOAA’s satellite programs which monitor climate and weather conditions globally These satellites provide essential data on everything from sea surface temperatures to hurricane tracking giving communities and policymakers the data needed to prepare for extreme weather.  The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) supports sustainable fishing practices and protects marine species a critical part of maintaining balanced ocean ecosystems that can withstand climate pressures.   The Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO) and NOAA Corps oversee NOAA’s fleet of ships and aircraft used for research and data collection essential for on-the-ground climate and ecosystem studies.   Though NOAA does not make policy recommendations the science and scientific data that it produces informs fact-based assessments of climate and other environmental threats that serve as the basis for policymakers to make sound policies By creating and advancing climate science research scientific bedrock of data and information for decision- and policy-making that can deliver for us a climate-resilient future Investing in their work and supporting their mission to understand climate change will benefit current and future generations proposing that NOAA “should be dismantled and many of its functions eliminated or placed under the control of states and territories” (see page 664 in Mandate for Leadership.) This is ill-advised for many reasons Climate-augmented extreme weather events have little regard for state boundaries and are influenced by global and regional atmospheric and oceanic conditions nationwide data collection and analysis provides the most scientifically-accurate information that can be used to issue forecasts and projections to protect people across the country Recent experiences in privatizing critical services such as electricity generation and distribution in the US territory of Puerto Rico life-threatening reliability of a vital utility largely due to lack of accountability and performance metrics in privatization contracts should be held accountable by the public and the rest of government to ensure they fulfill their mission and make the best possible use of taxpayers’ money But this is not what the second Trump administration and Project 2025 intend to do If the first Trump government is any indication and politicize NOAA in order to facilitate profit-making for industries that make more money the more they pollute and the less they have to invest in technologies or processes to reduce the harmful impacts of their activities The fossil fuel industry can deny all they want but the health and ecosystem impacts will not be willed away; they will just continue to be passed down to communities across the planet and the country and the progress that has been made in addressing climate impacts and environmental quality and in reducing injustices and inequities will be rolled back We need champions like NOAA to stand strong in the face of climate change and environmental protections are essential building blocks for a sustainable and just future The first Trump government took a wrecking ball approach at perverting the roles and missions of scientific agencies and offices that protect us The incoming second Trump government has an intentional and dangerous blueprint in Project 2025 to repurpose the public services NOAA provides in order to line the pockets of the fossil fuel and other polluting industries NOAA has a clear track record of providing the best science available to protect against loss of life and property in the face of worsening climate change and must be protected in a hospital that to this day uses the beach as a parking lot Pablo’s mission is to explain details such as this one that reveal the idiosyncrasy of Latin America and the Caribbean Pablo was obsessed with history and baseball and thought about becoming a lawyer or a baseball coach Either path seemed good enough to create a positive impact on the lives of others and for telling stories eventually led him to consider a career in the media Pablo attended Adelphi University in New York and studied political science and journalism those four years in New York were exclusively devoted to the study of Latin America and free time were devoted to learning and studying more about LATAM Being away from home and in a world alienated by a pandemic one could only long for what seemed natural His obsessive passion for the region had him tracking and following every Latin American presidential election and devouring the dusty Latin America section at the University’s library Pablo also completed a series of internships that fed his dream of studying Latin America for a living His first encounter of understanding the perception of Latin America in the eyes of the world came through an internship with the Embassy of the Dominican Republic at the UN Pablo understood the reality of Latin America in diplomatic circles and how the region fits into the puzzle of geopolitics He followed this with a summer at the Colombian government’s trade bureau in Miami where he experienced firsthand how Latin American countries compete for a slice of FDI Pablo interned for a country branding firm he understood the subtleties of soft power and how all countries can use their weaknesses to their advantages without sacrificing their essence/identity his views have been shaped by the essays of Arturo Uslar Pietri Through the ideas of these giants and the doings of our political leaders he concludes that Latin America wanders in solitude through its own world of magical realism Pablo is fascinated by the shared characteristics of Latin American culture and sociology there is a lot to report in a huge region where everyone has something to say With the loud leaders or the snobby intellectuals How about with the random people that paint our lives with color like the talkative cab drivers Pablo is convinced the region is misunderstood and should look more inward than outward to solve its problems Borges once wrote that being Colombian was an act of faith Sitting through mass without understanding a thing This website

step● Decent crossing and vision● Excellent at evading defenders and fooling them with feints● Good technique and dribbling● Brave and determined● Great ball-carrying ability but could produce so much more goals if improves his accuracy● First touch decent but can still improve A LOT and should● Usage of his left foot● Accuracy in general again decent but could be more accurate● Decision making in some situations ● False nine type of striker● He often falls back to win balls and duels roams a lot in the field● Likes to create chances at wings and makes use of his speed to edge out the defender● Often makes deep runs to either drag one/two opponents with him or just create a chance with his speed● Has that “striker instinct” meaning he sometimes moves before the ball was even passed really “smells” a goal chance● Good Penalty taker● Poses a significant threat on the counterattack due to his rapid speed and dynamic mobility● Very good in Link up plays with his teammates● Likes to receive

Reysol’s academy in 2019 and who has been finding success there ever since with already 7 goals in 20 matches looking to top up his record from last season The 21 year old is labeled by many of his fans as the Japanese Mbappe While such nicknames are often not very coherent Of course that’s not the only reason why he is a similar player but that’s definitely the one thing which comes to mind when one sees him playing If he continues to develop as he is doing at the moment I would not wonder if he’d get a move to Europe by then chances are that he may receive a move this summer already since he is one of the most performing talents in Japan right now thus maybe having attracted some of Europe’s clubs and earning a move very soon His instinct is not something one can find in every player and his skillset will for sure be a valuable asset for Japanese football in the future I always recommend Japanese players to go to Belgium as I see it as the perfect stepping stone for a Top 5 League but outside Belgium I think he’d have a good shot in England or Germany where he could make the most of his skillsets but he could prove himself in a club like FC Augsburg The options are wide and his talent even wider 9/10 -> Potential to become a Top striker in a Top 5 league and website in this browser for the next time I comment Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute(
