Who has the best steamed crabs on the shore? Eat in or take out, I want to know who serves up the best, fattest, tastiest steamed crabs.
I grew up in Baltimore County and crabs were a plenty. I've lived on the shore for 13 years now and I must say, the choices for crabs are few and far between. I thought moving here I would be in crab heaven, but that hasn't been the case.
My wife got me a bushel for my birthday and the company she got them from didn't put any seasoning on them. I didn't know this was even allowed! Needless to say they were taken back for some with the seasoning and I'll give a review of them later.

Justice Dept. Challenges Ariz. Immigration Law
Lawsuit questions constitutionality of controversial bill targeting illegal immigrants
The U.S. Justice Department is filing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's new law targeting illegal immigrants, setting the stage for a clash between the federal government and state over the nation's toughest immigration crackdown.
The planned lawsuit was confirmed to The Associated Press by a Justice Department official with knowledge of the plans. The official didn't want to be identified before a public announcement planned for later Tuesday.
The lawsuit will argue that Arizona's new measure requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws, like traffic stops, usurps federal authority.
Tuesday's action has been expected for weeks. President Barack Obama has called the state law misguided. Supporters say it is a reasonable reaction to federal inaction on immigration.
The law requires officers, while enforcing other laws, to question a person's immigration status if there's a reasonable suspicion that they are in the country illegally.

Post Office Proposes 2-Cent Rate Hike
Agency faces losses and a deep financial crisis
WASHINGTON — The post office wants to increase the price of a stamp by 2 cents to 46 cents starting in January. The agency has been battered by massive losses and declining mail volume and faces a financial crisis.
Postal officials announced a wide-ranging series of proposed price increases Tuesday, averaging about 5 percent, and covering first class, advertising mail, periodicals, packages and other services.
The request now goes to the independent Postal Rate Commission which has 90 days to respond. If approved, the increase would take effect Jan. 2.
"The Postal Service faces a serious risk of financial insolvency," postal vice president Stephen M. Kearney said.
Kearney said the agency is facing a $7 billion loss in 2011. The rate increase will bring in an extra $2.5 billion, meaning it still faces a $4.7 billion loss.
The rate increase is part of a series of money-saving plans announced in March. These also include reducing mail deliveries to five days a week, closing offices and making other cuts in expenses. Congress must agree to eliminating deliveries on Saturdays.
While the cost of a first-class stamp would go up to 46 cents, people who bought "Forever" stamps at lower prices will still be able to use them for first-class mail without paying the difference.

Bob Ehrlich Renews Call For New Nuclear Facility At Calvert Cliffs
ANNAPOLIS – Bob Ehrlich today reiterated his long-standing support for a proposal to build a third nuclear reactor at Calvert Cliffs in Southern Maryland. He urged the federal government to finalize approval of a draft environmental impact statement and approve federal loan guarantees so that ground preparation work can begin on the new energy facility in the near future.
“The importance of expediting creation of more than 4,000 construction and 400 permanent jobs and generating clean, carbon-free energy for the nation cannot be overstated,” said Ehrlich.
“I’ve been proud to support this project for many years and urge the federal government to expedite approval of this application. I look forward to proactively advancing this project as governor without unnecessary delays. With 200,000 Marylanders unemployed and our energy supplies stressed, job creation in this industry and a move toward energy independence must be a central priority.”
"The citizens if Southern Maryland know of Governor Ehrlich's longstanding support for expanding generating capacity at Calvert Cliffs," said Maryland House Minority leader Tony O'Donnell. "In 2006, the Calvert County Delegation submitted HB 1183 to allow county government to put together a tax incentive package for job-creating projects like Calvert Cliffs III. This was a significant piece of legislation for bringing Calvert Cliffs III closer to reality and Governor Ehrlich signed the bill into law. His administration was supportive and helpful in every respect, and we are pleased that he will proactively support the citizens and leaders of Southern Maryland in our efforts to seek final approvals for Calvert Cliffs III."
An application for a combined construction and operating license was previously submitted for the new reactor facility and is pending before the federal government. The federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission is currently reviewing the application, which includes a draft environmental impact statement to build the plant next to the existing Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Plant in Lusby. In addition, the U.S. Department of Energy is considering the Calvert Cliffs 3 project for a federal loan guarantee that would be critical to financing this carbon-free energy project.
Background: The Calvert County Board of Commissioners estimates the new power plant would eventually generate $20 million in new annual revenue for the county, 4,000 construction jobs, and up to 400 permanent jobs in the community. The project application has strong bipartisan support in the local community.
Arizona Democrats Contest Obama's Assertions On Border Security
Anticipating a furor of voter criticism over the July Fourth recess, Democratic lawmakers from the border region shot back at the White House last week, challenging the president’s speech on immigration in which he said that the southern border is secure.
Arizona Democratic Reps. Ann Kirkpatrick, Harry Mitchell and Gabrielle Giffords joined a growing Republican chorus in denouncing President Barack Obama for not pushing for more specific action in his Thursday speech on the nation’s immigration and border security issues.
Obama said that the U.S.-Mexico border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years. But the three Arizona Democrats disagreed.
“The crisis on America’s borders won’t be addressed with words,” said Giffords. “I was disappointed to hear the president give short shrift to border security concerns by saying that our nation’s southern border is more secure today than at any time in the past 20 years.
“That is not a sign of progress, it is a statement on the poor job we have done in securing the border for the past two decades.”
As their constituents continue to clamor that more must be done to secure the borders, the first- and second-term Arizona Democrats are increasingly bucking their own party’s stance on border security.
All three lawmakers have acknowledged the charged politics behind the border security and immigration debate. And though none of them are likely to lose their seats this November, their races have been listed as some of the most contentious in the region.
“As any politician knows, it is easier to make speeches than it is to make progress, and we need more than talk from the White House and Congress right now,” said Kirkpatrick.

Obama Mum On Bush's Borders For Israel
As Israel's prime minister prepares for his fifth official meeting with President Obama this week, the White House has declined to publicly affirm commitments made by President Bush to Israel in 2004 on the final borders of the Jewish state.
The interpretation of a 2004 letter from Mr. Bush to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has been a source of tension between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Mr. Obama.
Mr. Netanyahu is expected in the meeting on Tuesday to discuss both the prospects for direct talks with the Palestinians and whether he will renew a 10-month freeze of new settlement construction on the West Bank. Both leaders are also looking to improve the negative atmosphere of the U.S.-Israeli relationship in the past year.
The Israelis maintain that Mr. Bush's letter is the foundation for the United States to accept new construction in the Jewish settlements that encircle Jerusalem, areas that make up the vast majority of the Jewish population on the West Bank.
Mr. Obama and his White House team have fought to get Mr. Netanyahu to stop new settlement construction in Jerusalem and are hoping the Israelis will extend a new construction freeze for the West Bank that is set to expire in September.
The April 14, 2004, letter from Mr. Bush to Mr. Sharon said a final peace settlement between Israel and the Palestinians should reflect "new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli population centers," and that "it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949."
Mr. Bush's letter also said Palestinians would have to agree to the final borders, yet at the time the letter was touted as a major concession by Mr. Sharon's top advisers as Israel was preparing to withdraw settlements and Israeli troops from Gaza unilaterally.
During a conference call Friday with reporters, Dan Shapiro, the White House National Security Council's senior director for the Middle East and North Africa, declined to say whether the 2004 letter reflected the Obama administration's understanding of the parameters or borders of a final settlement to the conflict.
"I don't think … we'll have a comment on these kinds of … private discussions that we're having with the parties. We have a very good understanding with our Israeli partners about the foundations of this relationship and this effort to move toward our shared goal of comprehensive peace and two states," he said.

Poll: More Think Obama Stimulus Hurt Employment Than Helped
A plurality of Americans believe President Barack Obama’s stimulus package has harmed economic growth, according to a Rasmussen Reports poll released on Friday.
Less than a third, 29 percent, believe the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, better known as the stimulus package, improved the economy. Meanwhile, 43 percent believe it hurt the economy.
The survey was released the same day that the Labor Department released its monthly figures showing that while the number of job cuts were 125,000, the unemployment rate went down from 9.7 percent to 9.5 percent, or two-tenths of a percentage point. President Obama signed the $787 billion stimulus package in February 2009, vowing the bill would save or create 3.5 million to 4 million jobs.
In what Republican lawmakers would likely consider good news, 69 percent in the Rasmussen poll believe tax cuts are a better way to create jobs than more government spending.
But Republican or Democratic policies aside, most voters are looking to the private sector more than government to revive the economy.
“Ultimately, though, voters are looking to the private sector to create jobs,” the poll says. “Sixty-five percent (65%) say that decisions made by business owners seeking to grow their business will do more to create jobs than decisions made by government officials. Just 23% expect the government officials to have a bigger impact.”
During brief remarks Friday at Andrews Air Force Base, Obama said the economy is clearly moving in the right direction.

A Letter To The Editor
SALISBURY SHOULD PAY FOR ITS ABUSE OF PROPERTY OWNER
A City property owner was recently forced to pay more than a thousand dollars in legal fees to defend her rights because of Jim Ireton’s war on residential landlords. After embarking on a major renovation of her premises and getting a permit for the work from the City, she was cited for having an illegal apartment. She hired an attorney and got the zoning board to shoot down the citation. The board determined that the apartment was legal because it had already made that ruling some years ago.
The result: both the City and the property owner have legal bills that are entirely unnecessary. It’s outrageous that the owner had to defend against a completely bogus charge that the City should have investigated and dropped before issuing the citation. The first ruling by the board was filed in the City’s records.
There is no excuse for this abuse of the property owner. If Ireton would direct the City’s code compliance personnel to cease making up lists of “slum property” to post on the City’s website and instead determine whether so called illegal apartments have been approved by the zoning board, episodes such as this one would not occur. In this instance an apology (assuming Ireton has offered one) is not enough, and the City should pay the owner’s legal bill regardless of whether the oversight was the fault of Ireton or someone else in the Government Office Building.

Beat The Peak Today And Tomorrow, July 6th And July 7th, Between 3 p.m. And 7 p.m.
GREENWOOD-Because of the hot temperatures over our region, Delaware Electric Cooperative and Choptank Electric Cooperative are asking all of their members to voluntarily conserve or limit energy usage between the hours of 3 pm and 7 pm, today and tomorrow, July 6th and July 7th, when our membership will be using the greatest amount of electricity and as a result the cooperatives will be purchasing power from the market at extremely high prices.
During "normal" load periods we pay only pennies per kilowatt-hour for power. However, during "Peak" demand or energy periods when the temperatures rise, we can pay up to one dollar per kilowatt-hour and in turn, we must pass these higher costs on to our members which may have an impact on rates.
Between the hours of 3 pm and 7 pm, today and tomorrow we are asking our members to turn off all unnecessary lights and appliances that may not be needed. We would ask that our members delay major appliance usage such as dishwashers, washing machines and clothes dryers and delay any hot water usage.
Other important steps to take might include closing window shades and adjusting thermostats up 3 degrees during these "Peak" times.
Delaware Electric Cooperative is a member-owned electric utility serving over 77,000 member-owners in Kent and Sussex County, Delaware.

Senators Say Steele On Hot Seat As GOP Chairman
WASHINGTON — Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham spoke from the war zone Sunday to condemn GOP chairman Michael Steele's comment that Afghanistan was a "war of Obama's choosing."
Neither GOP lawmaker, however, was outraged enough to demand Steele's resignation, as some other Republican have done. Both said from Kabul it was up to Steele to decide whether he could continue to lead the party.
Steele's remarks, a political gift to Democrats in a congressional election year, were captured Thursday on camera, during a Connecticut fundraiser that was closed to the news media, and posted online. The comments would make it difficult for Republican candidates to have Steele campaign for them.
"I think those statements are wildly inaccurate and there's no excuse for them," McCain said, adding that Steele sent the Arizona senator an e-mail saying the remarks "were misconstrued."
