GAO backs Mathias on Navy dairy closure plan
The GAO urges closing the Naval Academy dairy at Gambrills after 55 years, arguing $84,000 yearly savings and alignment with federal budget policy. It notes health guard reasons no longer apply, excess Maryland dairy supply, and potential asset sales reducing debt and interest. The plan aligns with Mathias’s push to end the operation.

Gulf Stream eddy offers lab for weather studies
A warm water eddy about 50 miles wide has broken loose 600 miles east of Boston, forming a rare natural laboratory for oceanographers. The Explorer ship and a Patuxent plane will study the eddy to improve understanding of ocean mixing and long-range weather forecasts. The Gulf Stream's vast current influences Europe’s climate and U.S. weather.
