POTSDAM - You dont need the hyped up hoopla of Midnight Madness to make the first preseason practice an incredibly exciting day for a college basketball coach.
Starting his 56th season of coaching on Tuesday evening, SUNY Potsdam Assistant Coach Stan Cohen calmly walked into the Jerry Welsh Gymnasium expecting to see players, stretching, jogging, creatively shooting layups or indiscriminately launching jumpers.
Instead, candidates for this years Bear squad were lined up on either side of the door clapping and cheering.
The startled and confused Cohen then saw retired Ogdensburg Free Academy Coach Bill Merna who informed him, on behalf of the Basketball Coaches Association of New York State, that he was entering the New York State Basketball Hall of Fame as a member of the induction class of 2014.
The 2014 class, which also includes former Beaver River Coach Bob Giordano and former Jefferson County Community College Coach Bob Williams, will be inducted on March 16 in Glens Falls during the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Boys Basketball Championships Final Four weekend.
Coach Cohen I want to welcome you to the hall of fame. Fifty six years of coaching says it all, said Merna who is a member of the hall.
To make a memorable evening even better Coach Cohens son and daughter-in law, Dr. Hal and Barb Cohen and their daughter Brittany of Baldwinsville, soon appeared along with several longtime friends.
Hal Cohen, who set a world foul shooting record at a Canton Central practice before going on to Syracuse University, nominated his father for the NYS Basketball Hall of Fame and compiled what is an epic basketball portfolio. He also orchestrated Tuesdays surprise celebration.
A portfolio which includes an all-star caliber playing career at Cortland High School and Hobart College and 1017 wins as Head Mens (16 years) and Womens Coach at SUNY Canton (7 years) and 40 years as a SUNY Potsdam assistant coach.
In his mens basketball coaching career, he was involved in two of the great eras of North Country College Basketball.
A career which drew its origin from a day at the YMCA in Cortland when a friend informed Cohen that a two-year school in Canton (then Canton ATI) was looking for basketball coach and accounting professor.
I must have been the only one that applied quipped the 79-year old Cohen whose soft-spoken nature contrasts with the blazing passion which marks his coaching career and playing days.
His coaching career and 39-year tenure at SUNY Canton, began modestly with a 6-10 record in the 1957-58 season but quickly took off. In his second season he led the 16-4 Northmen to a number one ranking in the East and a number 10 national rank at a time when NJCAA rankings included junior colleges of all sizes.
Cohens teams went on to a 247-143 record, won the notoriously strong Empire State Conference championship four times, earn number one or two rakings in the East three times and successfully competed against freshman teams from Syracuse, Cornell and Colgate University. His 1964-65 team went 26-3, won the Eastern NJCAA Tournament and took seventh in the nationals.
Leading the Northmen were 10 players who went on to play at the NCAA Division I level headed by All-Americans Ken Goodwin (1960), Bob Davis (1970) and Willie McBridge (1971). Davis, who went to Weber State, was the 14th overall pick in the 1972 NBA Draft by the Portland Trail Blazers.
Willie Brown (1961) went on to play for Texas Western (now UTEP), the Dallas Chaparells of the ABA and the Harlem Globetrotters.
Cohen credits Brown for having a major impact on the Canton program.
Willie came to Canton from the Bronx and over the years he helped bring many players to the program, said Cohen.
Willie also helped bring key players for the Texas Western team which won the national championship (NCAA Division I championship team featured in movie Glory Road)
Those players led teams that brought great electricity to the North Country sports scene.
When I first moved to Canton 1960s I would go and watch Stans teams play all the time, said retired Canton Central School teacher Pat Casey.
They played at a very high level and the place was always packed. It was just a great atmosphere.
Cohen helped create the same kind of atmosphere at Maxcy Hall after becoming an assistant coach for Jerry Welsh at SUNY Potsdam in 1973.
He helped shape two NCAA Division III National Championship teams (1981, 1986) and three NCAA Division National runner-up squads (1979, 1982, and 1985).
He also contributed significantly to: nine NCAA East Regional Championships in79-83, 85-87, 89,, 10 SUNYAC Mens Basketball Championships in 74, 77-80, 83, 86, 87, 2004-5 and a 35-13 record in 15 NCAA Tournament appearances.
Every game became must-see entertainment around the North Country as the Bears forged a 53-game home winning streak in 1984-88, a 56-game regular season winning streak 1984-88 and a 60-game winning streak 1985-1987.
Now he assists Sherry Dobbs efforts to make the Bears a force in the strong SUNYAC Conference and enjoys what he loves the most about coaching.
I just like the kids and working with the ball players who really havent changed much over the years, says Cohen whose positive influence on young people for parts of eight decades would pale the brilliance of the watershed win totals and championships.
Coach Cohen is a member of the SUNY Canton and SUNY Potsdam Athletic Hall of Fames and his college team is enshrined at Hobart College. But his greatest honor may have come in 2011 when a former player Bob Rogers (1961) donated $100,000 to SUNY Canton in Coach Cohens name.
Growing up I would attend his teams practices, live and die with each of games and go on recruiting trips throughout the state with him. What has always struck me was his special relationship with all his players and the people he has met along the way, said Dr. Hal Cohen who followed his fathers example by helping his daughter Brittany become an All-East performer at SUNY Cortland.
Through his actions he has shown myself and his players on how to be truly a good person. Despite all his basketball wins, I believe this will be his greatest legacy.
A legacy which current SUNY Potsdam captain, Zac Adams of Potsdam, is proud and grateful to be associated with.
Coach Cohen is someone you can always go and talk to. He has so much knowledge and he always has great advice, says Adams.
I talk to him everyday before practice.
SUNY Potsdam Head Coach Sherry Dobbs says that Cohens knowledge of the game and his experience are invaluable but his biggest contributions may come at practice.
He brings an energy and passion everyday. He comes into the gym and he is ready to go. says Dobbs.
He has a place on our staff as long as he wants to coach. And I hope he keeps coaching for many more years.

Werner Paddles
Sho-Gun Whitewater Paddle
In Stock Product Number: 3025
The ShoGun whitewater paddle by Werner is the ultimate creek and river running paddle. The large blade design is balanced to create a clean catch that is immediately powerful and smooth through out the entire stroke.
Also, the Sho-Gun whitewater paddle is available in two shaft types, Straight or Neutral Bent Shaft. Both have their advantages:
Paddlers are more familiar with straight shafts and like the light weight and ability to move their hands along a predictable, straight, and continuous grip area. Straight shafts are typically less expensive.
The Werner Neutral Bent Shaft naturally aligns your wrist to reduce stress on joints. The neutral alignment, unique to Werner Paddles, creates a stable leverage point for bracing and all types of paddle strokes. Special indexing allows more hand contact with the shaft, reducing fatigue and increasing comfort.

Comments about Werner Paddles Sho-Gun Whitewater Paddle:
I do not even know how the blade cracked, but Werner wants $180.00 plus shipping both ways if they decide its not a warranty issue. They will not acknowledge photos and overall act like spending this amount of money on a paddle is no big deal. I would not recommend this to a friend.

With the CGS Cat-Back Exhaust System you get all this and a complete replacement lifetime warranty, at an affordable price. Every CGS system includes a 100% stainless steel muffler and exhaust tip.
- Dyno proven gains in horsepower and torque
- Improved performance
- Increased fuel mileage
- All mufflers made from 100% all welded stainless steel
- Aluminized or stainless steel mandrel-bent seamless tubing

CGS is dedicated to helping you get the most from your vehicle so you can use its full potential. To that end, CGS makes products like this Cat-Back Exhaust System that help your engine "breathe" better.
The heart of the system is a high flow 100% all welded stainless steel muffler. All the muffler seams are fully welded and it features internal baffles, so there's no packing or wadding to wear out. The muffler's internal construction allows increased exhaust flow while delivering a powerful, throaty exhaust note, which sounds great outside but is unobtrusive inside the cab. The muffler's shell is embossed with the CGS logo.
The exhaust pipes are made from large diameter aluminized or stainless steel mandrel-bent tubing. The shape and diameter of the exhaust tubing is optimized for volume and exhaust gas velocity. CGS mandrel bends the tubing for smooth bends and to make sure the pipe maintains its size and shape throughout the entire length. Tubes that aren't mandrel bent can lose a percentage of their diameter in sharp bends. The finishing touch on this system is the T-304 stainless steel exhaust tip. The tip is highly polished for a great appearance, and the clampless design makes it a snap to install.
The cumulative result is a cat-back exhaust system that outflows, and sounds and looks better than your stock system. In fact, CGS guarantees that this system will outlast and outperform any other cat-back exhaust system on the market. The horsepower and torque gains from the CGS Cat-Back system are verified by testing on a Mustang dynamometer. These power gains result in improved performance you can feel and increased fuel mileage at cruise.397.50 547.50
CGS® Motorsports has been in aftermarket automotive business since 1995, with the "Breathe" products, serving high quality products for trucks and SUV motors. All of the products are designed and developed to provide both performance increase and economy improvement, which seems to contradict one another at first. Among the most popular products are the intake and cat-back exhaust systems, that really let the engine take a deep breath. CGS motto says: LET IT BREATHE.

WBGO was part of an extraordinary evening last night at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center. After Saturday's Latin Jazz tour with Paquito D'Rivera at the Victoria Theater, we wrapped up our weekend coverage of NJPAC's Alternate Routes festival tonight at Prudential Hall. The muse of Minas Gerais, Brazil's Milton Nascimento, celebrated his 66th birthday onstage with the Jobim Trio, featuring Antonio Carlos Jobim's son and grandson, guitarist Paulo Jobim and pianist Daniel Jobim. Rodrigo Villa supported on bass, as did the steady rhythm of drummer Paolo Braga. They played new arrangements of bossa nova classics (largely from the Antonio Carlos Jobim/Vinicius De Moraes songbook), a Dorival Caymmi standard, and a few anthems from Nascimento's time in the clube da esquina movement in Brazil's popular music. All in all, it was a beautiful view into the modern identity of Brazilian song, with a willing audience of Portuguese speakers from Newark's Ironbound neighborhood. Here's the rundown of the show, and what you'll hear when you listen online:
1. Garota de Ipanema - AC Jobim (not available online)
2. Aguas de Marco - AC Jobim
3. So Tinha De Ser Com Voce - Elis Regina
4. O Vento - Dorival Caymmi
5. Brigas Nunca Mais - AC Jobim/Vinicius De Moraes
6. Inutil Paisagem - AC Jobim/Aloysio de Oliveira
7. Chega de Saudades - AC Jobim/De Moraes
8. Medo de Amar - Vinicius De Moraes
9. Velho Riacho (Pra Nao Sofrer) - AC Jobim
10. Esperanca Perdida - AC Jobim/Billy Blanco
11. Eu Sei Que Vou Te Amar - AC Jobim/De Moraes
12. Dias Azuis - Daniel Jobim
13. Para Lennon e McCartney - Lo Borges-F.Brant/Nascimento
14. Cravo e Canela - Nascimento
15. Samba Do Aviao - AC Jobim
16. Maria, Maria [encore] - Nascimento

Hand Carved Neutskes Value
I have a collection of carved antique Neutskes that I am trying to date and assign value to. Can anyone help?
Thank you!
The attached photos are just a few representations of the collection.

Hi, for these types of items, it is almost impossible to identify and value from photos alone. They could be made from many types of materials, including bone and resin, which would greatly impact their worth. Also the carvings really need to be inspected firsthand by a specialist to check for age and authenticity. I am sorry that I can't be more helpful here.

By RICHARD SHAWStaff Reporter
Questions by several citizens resulted in a discussion between Helper officials, councilman elect Bob Farrell and his lawyer Joane Pappas White at a regular meeting of the towns governing body last Thursday.
"There had been questions about whether Bob could be a councilman with his current residential status and that is why I wanted to see the entire council meet with him on this matter," said Mayor Joe Bonacci on Friday morning. "I was satisfied with what I saw and so was the rest of the council."
The issue swirls around Farrell's construction of a new home outside the Helper city limits. The home has gone up just behind his relocated automobile business, but based on information provided by his lawyer at the meeting, he is still actually renting his old home in Helper and living there.
Some residents had complained that he was living in the new house and with that he had disqualified himself to be a city councilman, a post to which he was elected in November.
But a few months ago, even before he decided to run for council, he had asked the city to annex his property and business into the Helper city limits.
At first everyone thought that would be an easy and certainly an advantageous thing to do. Farrell wanted to be part of Helper and the city could use the tax revenue from his business. The property is also contiguous with the cities boundaries which seems to make it a natural.
But a problem arose. A couple of years ago the legislature changed the way cities can annex property and one of the provisions of that new legislation is that the city must file a comprehensive plan of how it operates when it takes that action.
The state claims it sent out kits to all cities explaining what they would need to do, but no one in the Helper administration had ever seen anything about it.
"The problem is that what we have to do now is a very lengthy process," said Bonacci during the meeting. "It includes multiple public hearings and some other kinds of processes. So that isn't going to happen before January, when we need to swear Bob in. Our main concern is about meeting the statutory residential requirements so that he can legally serve on the council."
White had presented evidence, in the form of cancelled rental checks, to Helper City Attorney Gene Strate before the meeting.
The attorney indicated that she wanted to show Helper officials that Farrell was still residing within the town's boundaries. But White also felt she had a case to make about the city's actions regarding the matter.
"Bob didn't have much choice in moving his business as you know," pointed out White. "With the new overpass, many of us wonder how it will affect business here. The work on this annex problem should have begun a long time ago, but the city still isn't in compliance with state statutes on allowing this. Your city is already providing all the services for his property and it borders it contiguously. He thought the annexation would be easy to get accomplished in the 18 months it took to build his house and put his business in."
But the Helper city fathers appeared to be taken back by the statement about the city not being in compliance with state statute.
"We don't have a full time city planner or engineer to work on these kinds of things," said the mayor. "All those on the planning board are volunteers. Besides, I have never seen a formal request for annexation. Bob just told me that he had bought the property and wanted to be a part of Helper."
At that point, there was some dispute about how things had been handled. Farrell claimed he had been told he couldn't submit anything until the city filed the paperwork on the law.
In addition, White stated that she was ready to submit a petition to the city for the annexation.
"All we want is to do this the right way," said Councilman Bob Welch. "We are all new and there are so many laws to follow. We are limited on manpower and budget. We also don't want to be forced into any annexation we may not want."
The entire council, however, pointed out that they were not against this annexation, in fact they are for it.
Strate pointed out that if a petition is presented it would trigger deadlines that the city can't possibly meet at this time.
The mayor asked Strate to give his opinion on the issue of residency since the annexation issue would have to be worked out over the next few months.
"It is all based on the persons principal residence, where his family lives," said Strate. "Based on the information Joane gave me I think he still has standing here."
The council then decided that the swearing in would take place in early January and that Farrell would become a member of the council.

In 1943 the National Geographic Society published a map of the world at war. I've scanned the Pacific part of this and intend to use it as my authority on boundaries. I'm attaching a 6%-scale version of the 400-dpi scan as well as a 3/4-scale section showing typical treatments.
The map is in Van der Grinten's projection. I plan to use Robinson's -- certainly not Van der Grinten's. I'd like to re-project it so that I can more accurately copy the boundaries. I'm thinking I should be able to import it into Manifold 5.0 (which I have a copy of) and use that to re-project. Does that sound feasible and/or desirable?
The map reminds me of the many reasons why I never liked the National Geographic maps of that day, little carto-snob that I was. But the craftsmanship of the map commands respect. They certainly did get a great deal of information into it.

The Brotherhood of the Junglecock WeekenFly Fishing Camp
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Camp Airy Ponds and Owens Creek
Friday, May 18th - The alarm went off and after 20 minutes, we were on the road headed up for Camp Airy to help with the fish stocking. I met my sponsor and we drove to a private section of Owens Creek to stock the trout, all 500. We stocked two places, one section for the third and fourth year boys, and one for the fifth year boys. I was put in the fourth year boys although it was my first time. We waded down the creek carrying a "box of Trout," releasing a couple every 10 feet. After stocking, we went back to camp, checked in and went to our cabins. After that, we were off to the ponds to fish for the Trout stocked a couple days ago, they opened up at one o'clock. 15 minutes of waiting later, I cast my line and I'm quickly rewarded with a decent 15" largemouth and a 1/4 oz. Joe's Flies. The next cast I would land a rainbow, and the next cast I would land another rainbow, then no trout the rest of the day. I then fished for sunnies and bass, and caught plenty of each on both fly and spin tackle.
When the bite slowed down, my sponsor and I headed to the freshly stocked Owens Creek, only managed one, saw plenty
Saturday, May 20th - After getting some breakfast, I walked down to the ponds to see if I couldn't get something to hit on the woollybuggers that I just tied in the Frank Bentz Hall. Well, I got nothing, so it was time for lunch. After lunch, fourth year students got on the bus and headed to a private section of Owens. First it was fishing time, I landed some chubs and redear sunfish, and a new species, the .hornyhead chub. The horn blew, and a group went to entomology. After that, we headed back down to the stream for some casting practice, and that's where I caught some trout that we stocked the previous day. They were rising to what looked like a small mayfly hatch. But me and a friend landed something, or had something hit every good cast under an overhanging tree with just a small princehead nymph under a lightning strike indicator.
We got back on the bus, and on the way back dropped whoever wanted to participate in the casting contest off at the ponds. The targets were three hula hoops positioned with a weight at different distances. I think I did pretty well, I received third at dinner that night, and I picked out a 8'6" 7wt HT combo with Cortland First Cast WF7F line.
That night was the special program and campfire in which I got initiated into The Brotherhood. The day was great.
Sunday, May 21st - The last day was sort of a wrap up of everything that happened on Saturday and Sunday. There were no classes, and we mostly fished the whole day along with a little breakfast and lunch when my family swung by. The morning arose early, and I packed up my belongings, and my next goal was to get a little food in my tummy. After eating, I headed down to the pond. Tons of people were there enjoying the last day of fishing, I did catch a few sunfish (bluegill + redear sunfish) and bass, and even a couple trout on nymphs. The trout were relating to shade and sometimes they were also rising to maybe damselfly hatches. I caught a great 17.5 inch rainbow, which was the biggest fish of mine during the weekend. The whole week was great, and in case you did not see the May 27th Frederick News Post Outdoor section, Dan Neuland (fellow member of PVFF, and will be the featured guest speaker at June's meeting) did a great write up about the whole weekend, and you can view the article on the Frederick News Post website.

My First Ever Musky
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Above Dam No. 4 - Potomac River
I thought I would share my first ever musky caught...a fight for sure
I started off the night loading my bass stuff into one of the member's boats, it was Thursday night and our bass club Boonsboro Bassmasters was going out on the Potomac above Dam Four for some "practice". At about five o'clock, we headed out and motored far up-river. We stopped at a rock point where I quickly got into some 12 inch keeper smallmouth using a Bomber square A that dives to about 3-4 feet depending on your retrieve. After having some time with no luck, we motored farther up river to a steep drop where two feet from the shoreline, it is 15 feet deep. I pitched my 1/8 oz. Greg Hackney Hack Attack jig with a Yum trailer into some wood cover, and starting dragging it along the bottom. BOOM it is a big fish. I fight it hard and we troll out of the cover into more open water. I continue fighting the fish, then it makes a huge leap out of water Muskellunge. The adult gets the net and after a couple missed attempts, the fish is in the boat! We measured it, a 27 inches musky, and my first ever. We get it back in the water and it swims off. We had no camera to take a photograph, but trust me, I will never forget it. One more thing it was caught on 6 lb test, luckily the fish was hooked outside of the mouth and did not break the line. After that fight, two casts later I land a 17 inch largemouth which won the little competition that our club has each outing.

Mid-Summer Trout Fishing
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Various Ponds and Creeks
It is almost June, this means 80-90 degree temperatures and too hot for trout, right? Wrong, summer trout fishing is highly underutilized in our area. Most people think that all of the fish stocked will be caught or die when the water warms up. The fact is that in suitable streams (a suitable trout stream is one where the water temperatures do not exceed 65-67 degrees) only about 50-70% of trout stocked actually get taken home for dinner. Summer decreases water levels substantially and it is a lot easier to find trout then in other months when they could be virtually anywhere. Some key features to look for when trying to find summer trout holding locations are springs, shade, oxygen (in the form of riffles), and cover or deep water. Springs can be quite difficult to find, but I have found that the best time to locate underwater springs is in the winter when there are water plants growing around them. In a stream you could walk for a quarter mile and not find any decent holding spots, or there could be a spot every 50 feet, but usually they will not be close to each other. Some great locations for mid-summer trout are Owens Creek, Antietam Creek, Friends Creek, Beaver Creek, and some that might or might not hold fish during a hot summer depending on temperatures include Middle Creek, Catoctin Creek, Fishing Creek, and Israel Creek.
Ponds, as well, are highly under-fished in the months of May, June, July, and August. In most ponds the trout will die unless there is some kind of cold water source coming in. Just this past week, I was fishing Big Hunting Creek and only landed two, and on the way back, we stopped at Frank Bentz Memorial Lake. If you had looked at the lake you would have thought there was a breeze, but that was just all of the ripples from rising fish. The fish were rising to a massive mayfly hatch in which hundreds of trout were participating. If you were to drain any pond or lake, I bet anyone would be surprised at just how many fish are left. This mid-summer trout thing is really getting popular, I urge you to go out, because you will probably catch more than you did opening day. Remember: go early or late, because later in the day the fish will go deep to retreat from the sun.

Warmwater Fishing
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Local Warmwater Pond
Warmwater fishing is, I think, at it's best right now because the sunfish are spawning and some of the bass are still on their beds. Some people disagree with fishing for sunfish and bass when they are on their beds, but as long as you handle the fish gently, release it quickly, and don't hit the bed with your lure, the fish are always fine. During spawning is when all of the big fish get caught because you can easily see them, and they are easiest to catch at this time.
As far as technique, any Panfish jig or lure will catch them, but I went with trout magnet in bison and a green/black color today and caught more than I could count. I like to fish it without an indicator and just twitch it in slowly--they are bound to hit it. Www.devinsfishingreports.com

Caught a Nice Carp on the Potomac
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Potomac River Dam No. 5
We headed to Dam No. 5, which I think is the best dam fishing spot in Maryland just because of the amount of space the fish have there, it's huge. After catching a nice channel on hotdog as cutbait, I landed a nice 26 inch common carp which put up a nice fight. 10 minutes later, zmmmmmmmmmmm there goes my Peen Fierce reel screaming. This fish was big. It could've been anything, but it was fighting like a huge carp. I adjusted my drag to the tightest, anymore and the line would have snapped. I couldn't stop him, he just kept going until he broke me off.
Tackle: Heavy stuff, 20lb PowerPro braid with a heavy saltwater setup if you expect to land a giant carp. As far as rigs, the slip rig is a great one, with a number 4 SSW Owner hook. Corn is the bait to use, or doughballs.

Helping Out at the Gambrill Youth Rodeo
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Gambrill Rock Run Pond
The Gambrill Fishing Rodeo @ Rock Run Pond was last Saturday morning and it had a terrific turnout. 30 some kids showed up out of the 40 that were supposed to, and almost all of them caught a fish. The ones who didn't, I know still had a fun time. The Rodeo got great donations from Penn, Rapala, Friends of Cunningham and a few others. We had about 15 - 20 rods donated, which were given out to kids randomly. Each kid took home a goodie bag with some decent Rapalas and some other fishing stuff. I saw an old buddy there, and the kid he was helping out caught his limit in no more than 20 minutes. After about an hour, the fishing turned down, and fish were just being caught here and there; a couple people were still pulling them out though. I helped out numerous people with tangles, how to fish, and un-snagging their lures. The biggest fish of the tournament was probably either a 16 inch rainbow caught by the kid mentioned above. There was also another big(ger) fish caught by a boy on the other side of the lake. I didn't get to see it, but it looked like a good 16 or 17 inches. All in all, it was a very good tournament, everyone left with smiles on their faces.
Whenever, wherever you get a chance to help out or volunteer take it, it gives you warm feeling inside that you did something right.

Fishing at Owens Creek
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Owens Creek- Stocked Section
Headed to Owens, first stop was the Roddy Road Bridge. No trout taken from here, but I did catch 2 redear sunfish. As I worked my way upstream, towards the route 15 bridge there were a lot of people here especially for 3 o'clock during the week. When fishing a creek like this, you remember two things, and they are
1. You must think like a stocking truck. Fish won't be in the middle of nowhere because the DNR will stock close to the road or wherever they can pull off. So don't fish every single hole, or it will take you a couple days here in Owens.
2. Look for the (golden) rainbow trout, most likely a couple golden rainbow trout will be mixed in with the rainbows in each hole. If you don't see a golden right after stocking then "most likely" it will be a hit or miss kind of thing.
There were a lot of fish-filled pools, only one thing, they were all filled with anglers. I managed to fish one pool below the route 15 bridge and they weren't hitting. Upstream we went, headed up to where the mudslide along 550 was a couple months back. Tons of fish here. I saw one guy land like a 19 incher. I managed 4 rainbows. Not too bad. I really don't know why more people don't take advantage of this awesome location later in spring and summer. There are some nice holes in the mid-section of Owens, some that hold over some really trout.

Good Brook Trout Fishing
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Little Fishing Creek, Catoctin Streams
Well, I went out for some nice mountain stream brook trout fly fishing this past week. Hit three spots, Little Fishing Creek, then two Catoctin streams. Landed 3 in LFC, 7 on the second stream, and 13 in the last stream. All caught on a Parachute Adama, 16 and Elk Hair Caddis, 14 and 12. I was fishing a 3 weight Lefty Kreh Pro Series rod with a 9ft leader tapering down to 2ft off 5 or 4x tippet. Biggest fish was around 6 inches from Little Fishing Creek. Nothing beats brook trout fishing.

Caught 51 fish on Greenbrier Lake
Type: Freshwater
Region: Central
Location: Greenbrier Lake
What a day(s) at Greenbrier, 20 fish the first day and 31 in the second day makes 51 fish in two days. I don't know about you, but that's pretty good for me. Let's start off with the fish count... Day 1 started off with fish rising everywhere especially Trout. You could paddle along and just spot the Goldens in your kayak. I saw a lot of fish, especially small Bass and some Sunfish, while paddling the that shallow half of the lake straight out from the fishing dock. Basically all I did was cast out the Trout Magnet with it rigged under a strike indicator and let it sit. Sometimes you could give it a little plop to give it some action. The second day was just like the first one only I got to stay longer. I targeted Trout at first, they were holding high in the water column and were everywhere rising. But, you just couldn't paddle to where they just rose, they would be gone. I guess it is kind of luck in locating them. I caught several of the Trout about 100 feet out from the boat rental dock. Just cast it along the drop off there and boom, you would have a hit. Then I located the Panfish, in the other corner of the lake, kind of near the dam. I do not have a graph, so I guess you can say that I am just guessing on where to fish if I am in deeper water and cannot see the bottom. It was a great two days, I took lots of pics too. One Bluegill was pushing 10 inches or 10.5, we'll say 10. Caught a couple nice Redears too. Some of the Trout had injuries on them and the Golden that I caught on the second day had some kind of lesion on it of some sort I think.

Devil's Backbone Park- 79 Degress in Mid-March
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Antietam Creek
After hearing that the park is now open and fisherman have been fishing there daily, I gave it a go. The park doesn't officially reopen until the Parks and Rec announce it on the first weekend of May. Even though they have completed construction on the dam, they will be doing some landscaping work and possibly doing some work to maintenance road on the east side of the creek from the dam down to the pedestrian bridge. In this area there is a lot of erosion and there are a lot of holes. The parking lot is still closed so you can park at a number of locations
1.) At one of the many pull offs along the road if you are approaching the park from Boonsboro.
2.) At the other park parking lot which is right beside of Mulendore's Auctions, this is above 1/4 mile upriver of the dam, just continue up Lappans Road to get there. Both of the places require a little walking. They have restored the creek bank on the west side of the creek right above the dam, so now if you park at the upper parking lot, you do not have to walk on the tight road, you can walk on the stream bank. Everything overall is very better and looks much better.
BUT... and it's a big but, the big Carp are not here. As you can tell by the photo, the water is very shallow and could not hold Carp (the big ones). I'm pretty sure they have migrated downstream because of the construction, but they will be back by Summer as they always are. The fish in the picture to the right is I think a small Common Carp, but the Suckers are harder to tell apart with the Carp when they are smaller.
The fishing right at the dam is I think a little overlooked right nojust because of the past construction, and not to mention most spots are really shallow except the areas where the water plunges down from the dam. On the east side of the creek there is a big pocket with a lot of slack water. The water plunges down from the dam then it goes around a big boulder that is sticking straight up from underwater and that is the pocket. It's around 6 feet deep and holds no fish because the spot is really revealing, but I discovered something pretty awesome. I have concluded this after months of watching the Carp here pre-construction and for a couple hours during fishing. I have concluded that fish come into this pocket to rest, you can't just throw your line in here and catch one, they are not there all the time. The Carp that I have seen here pre-construction did not stay here long, like 2 minutes at the most. Yeah, I know exactly what you are thinking, "I'm gonna go in there and catch Carp like crazy when all this construction stuff is finished and when they migrate back up here." The Carp that live here during the regular season can't be caught. Yep, I just said it, a fish that can't be caught.
Pre-construction there were trees and bushes and a big 10 foot fence on the east side of the creek at the section right below the dam. This prevented you from casting to this great pocket, but I did see 2 people fish it back in Spring. They somehow climbed the side of the wall and cast to 'em, nada (nothing). I have even waded (bad me-no wading allowed!) out and casted to them before and still nada. If you can catch one of these giants on 2lb test, you'll be the new holder for the Carp (Grass or Common) 2lb Test World Record, but I will beat that record in April when I travel to my Carp Hole (I was 3lbs away from beating that record last year, it was a three hour fight. My Mom just left and ate lunch while I was fighting him, she came back...I was still fighting him.)
Anyway, the fishing was great, I ended up with 1 puny Common Carp, 1 Rainbow Trout, 2 Redear Sunfish, and 1 Fallfish, all caught in that pocket. Like I said above, the fish do not hang out here because the spot is too revealing, but they will come in on occasion. That could be every minute or every hour, no one knows. I caught them all on Trout Magnet under a strike indicator. I did not use fluoro only because I forgot it, but I still ended up with some fish. a small size BB or B split shot about 4 inches above the Trout Magnet is necessary as there is a lot of current here. The magic depth was around 3 feet, (between the jig and the strike indicator). My website url is www.devinsfishingreports.com.

heh, I thought y'all forgot that caches have to be hidden, before they can be found.
Great video thanks for the fun
In my area the cache shown in the video would be called into the police as a possible pipe-bomb. Does he have written permission to attach it to the fence post? Surely Groundspeak could have shown a better example of a clever hide.
A cache that looks like a pipe bomb and TFTC…. Two things that I HATE about this hobby are being glamorized and held out as awesome?

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate general manager
For many sports fans the Super Bowl ranks right up there with many other important days of the year. In fact some people think that Super Bowl Sunday should be a national holiday.
Football fans often think of that Sunday in mid-winter as the day when the sporting world all comes together. Even for non-football fans the day is often special. Parties and family gatherings are common. In some ways, for many, it's like the holiday season all over again.
For many who are interested in this Sunday's game between the Pittsburg Steelers and the Seattle Seahawks in Detroit, their background on the Super Bowl only has a recent perspective. Many weren't even born when the first Super Bowl took place in Los Angeles on Jan. 15, 1967. Others are just too young to remember.
Before the Super Bowl there were two competing leagues; the American Football League and the National Football League. They were always at each others throats, signing players away from each other, trying to encroach on each others markets, making baseballs problems seem minor.
After the signing wars that almost drove both leagues into bankruptcy it was decided that the two leagues would become one, the National Football league, with two conferences; the American, consisting of teams from the startup league brought about the signing war, and the National Conference containing all the hard line old teams.
While professional football has been around in one form or another for 100 years, until 1960 the NFL as it existed then really never had a competitor to it. It was in that year that the AFL was formed and even though that league only existed less than a decade it's impact on professional American football will always be felt.
But it was an event two years before that formation that really started the major interest in professional footballs premier game, that would later become the Super Bowl. It was the 1958 NFL championship game between the Baltimore Colts (now in Indianapolis) and the New York Giants (who now play in New Jersey even though they have kept the big apple moniker).
Some consider this game to be the best game ever played in the NFL, although more modern fans may disagree. But it was a turning point in professional football because first it was telecast nationally, and although not the first NFL championship broadcast this way, it was the first that was extremely exciting and had players with names everyone recognized at the time, including non-football fans.
What made the game really great was the finish. The Colts, after tying the game on a field goal with seven seconds to play, won the game on their very first possession in overtime. Johnny Unitas, the legendary quarterback for the Colts, and a household name in a day when household names were usually reserved for politicians, movie stars and professional baseball players, handed the ball off to fullback Alan Ameche who then drove the ball in on a third down play and Baltimore won the game 23-17. It was the first time the leagues championship had ever been decided in sudden death play and it was on national television. That began the modern era of professional football with big player contracts, large player endorsements and a country where many began to see football as much a national pastime as baseball had been for 100 years.
But what really changed things was that "Mickey Mouse league" as tabbed by owners of entrenched NFL teams that started in 1960. If not for the AFL, the NFL would be so different it is doubtful if it would have surpassed baseball as the team sport the most people watch.
First of all there never would have been a Super Bowl. There still would have been a championship, but it would not be the same for a number of reasons.
First the game would have never been played at a neutral site. The NFL championship games were always played at the home field of the team that had the best record. Some still think this is the way it should be, but with the popularity of the Super Bowl, fewer people would be able to see it at some of the smaller stadiums that were in place at the time.
Next is the fact that some teams that exist today, storied teams, would have never existed in the places they are without the AFL's creation. Teams like the Oakland Raiders and New York Jets would never have been started in markets where the entrenched San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants existed. While a freeway or subway Super Bowl has never happened in the same sense as a freeway and subway World Series have, the exciting possibility will always exist, even if the possibility of the game actually ever being played on one of the teams home fields is remote.
It's hard to compare football before the AFL with today's NFL. In 1959, the year before the new league came into existence there were only 12 teams in the entire league, and the way expansion moved in those days with owners protecting their territories hundreds of miles away from where the teams played their home games, it is doubtful there would be many more today. Only two of those teams were west of St. Louis; the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. There was no Dallas, Oakland, Seattle, Denver or San Diego amongst others. Expansion was an ugly word.
In fact the Colts team that won that championship in 1958 under Unitas guidance was a remnant of the last expansion try the NFL had made six years before in Dallas, where it failed miserably and actually played their last "home" game in Hershey, Pa. before moving to Maryland.
In 1959, two Texas oil millionaires (Lamar Hunt in Dallas and Bud Adams in Houston) decided if the NFL would not give Texas viable franchise, they would start their own league and give the Lone Star state two; Dallas and Houston. They also set up teams in New York, Denver, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. The Minnesota team however never came to be because that very same year the potential owner of the team was offered an NFL franchise which became the Vikings. The league also wanted to put a team in Miami (the NFL also did not have a team south of Washington D.C. either) but decided on Buffalo for political reasons.
The NFL owners publicly made fun of the AFL, but they were really frightened by it. It had major money behind it, unlike the old All-American Conference that existed in the late 1940's which had been weak competition for the NFL. The NFL owners tried to talk Hunt and Adams out of the idea by offering them franchises in their respective cities, but neither would budge, because they could see the fear on the old leagues collective face. They were smart too. For the $125,000 investment they made in their teams and the league that first year they now own teams that are worth half a billion dollars (Hunt owns Kansas City Chiefs and Adams the Tennessee Titans).
The original teams when the 1960 season opened were the New York Titans, the Buffalo Bills, the Boston Patriots, the Los Angeles Chargers, the Dallas Texans, the Oakland Raiders and the Denver Broncos.
The NFL decided that they needed to take action and along with the franchise in Minnesota, started to expand. One of those expansion teams was the Dallas Cowboys whose competition eventually forced Hunt to move his team to Kansas City.
As with all new leagues, money or not, teams folded and moved, as well as changing ownership. The New York Titans were eventually sold and the new owner named the team the "Jets" and then signed Joe Namath to a contract; the first half million dollar deal in the history of pro football. That move brought on the signing wars and also moved the AFL into the public eye as an actual major league sports organization.
The first commissioner of the new league was Joe Foss, a former governor of South Dakota. He opened the league office in Dallas. One of his first actions was to sue the NFL for putting a team in Dallas after the AFL announced they would have a team there. The suit also described the senior leagues attempt to interfere with television contracts so that the new league would not get any national exposure.
The money sounds small now, but the first contract the AFL had with the American Broadcasting Company was for a little over $2 million for the entire season for the whole league.
The whole lawsuit thing wasn't settled until 1962, when a federal judge ruled that the AFL didn't have a case, but by that time the new league had established itself in most of it's markets and was moving forward to really compete with the NFL in the near future.
As with all new leagues strange things took place. Franchises that seemingly were healthy one day, suddenly were broke the next. Most Utahn's know about this feeling; remember how suddenly the powerful Utah Star's franchise of the American Basketball Association folded into oblivion in the mid-1970's sending most of their star players, including legend Moses Malone to the St. Louis Spirits, which itself dissolved within a few months.
Nonetheless the AFL got better and in 1964 signed a television contract with the National Broadcasting System for $36 million for the 1965 broadcast rights. That broadcast year was also when Namath came into the league, bringing with it badly needed notoriety.
The new league was also a new start for many players who couldn't make the NFL. So few professional football teams existed in 1959 that there was a wealth of talent, many of who just needed a chance to play to prove themselves. Like the proverbial third round draft pick that makes good in sports today, the athletes came out of the woodwork. Players who had failed to make the NFL, but became big stars in the AFL included such people as George Blanda of the Raiders and Len Dawson of the Chiefs.
In 1966 Al Davis became the commissioner of the AFL and that is when the pressure on the old league really began. Rather than just sign good players to high salaries out of college, Davis began the tactic of going after established NFL stars some of whom jumped leagues to make more money. But the bidding war came close to destroying pro football as we know it so Hunt began talking with the old leagues leaders and eventually it led to an agreement of a common draft between the two leagues, a championship game called the Super Bowl and eventually four years later a compete merger of the two organizations into one league with two conferences: the NFC and the AFC.
The only aberration in the whole thing is that to balance the sizes of the two conferences the NFC lost three teams to the AFC; Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Cleveland.
It's been a long road to Super Bowl XXXX that will be held in Detroit this weekend. In fact, the only way the merger was achieved without congress rejecting it as a monopoly was that the NFL had to promise to place a team in Louisiana to get the support of Russell Long, a powerful U.S. Senator at the time.
Without those events and the Saints team being put there, there probably would never have been a Super Dome for people to languish in during hurricane Katrina.
And one other little foible that makes this game possible. Pittsburgh and Seattle used to both be in the AFC until 2001 when the first realignment of the league took place since 1970. Seattle was moved to the NFC West at that time to compensate for some team movements (such as the Rams moving to St. Louis and the Houston Texans emerging as a team) which created an imbalance in the league.
The Steelers and Seahawks could never have faced each other this Sunday if that hadn't happened.

I just turned 41. I live in Staten Island, New York. Thank God, like my MOM, my grays are very limited. However, strands were very,very noticable to me. A few months ago I tried to make a couple of highlights in my hair (I don't remember the products name). It didn't work out, the color started to go from brown to red. So I decided to dye my hair which I have never done, maybe once in high school. I was also nervous, because I relax my hair. I went to a local CVS store, and had all intentions on buying a dark brown hair color. I spoke to a store clerk, and she helped me pick out a brand and a color. The color was "soft black". I was a little nervous about it because my hair was the darkest brown, almost black. Anyways, my friend colored my hair. MY GOD!!!! The shine, the volume, the color, the brilliance, was incredible! It looked like I just walked out a very expensive salon. It even looked like my hair was relaxed and full. I was so impressed. Guess what? No more grays!!! I let my hair air dry, and I was a Rock Star!! The fruit oil concentrate is incredible, I hope you sell it at CVS, because that's where I'm going today to buy it. I will definetely be using your product again. Thank You for my new healthy, just out of the salon look!! Ruthie

I couldn't believe how many people told me the color (and style)) was beautiful, and they wanted to know what he used. I hesitated to tell them because I wanted Fanci-Full's secrets all to myself.

Elliott Carter
Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
Elliott Carter, 1908 — 2012
Elliott Carter was an American composer whose kaleidoscopic, rigorously organized works established him as one of the most important and enduring voices in contemporary music.
He died on Nov. 5, 2012 in the Greenwich Village apartment where he had lived with his wife since 1945. He was 103 and had continued to compose into his 11th decade, completing his last piece in August 2012.
Classical music tends to lionize the great composer cut down in youth, but Mr. Carter, the dean of American composers, made a mockery of that trope. He celebrated his 100th birthday with a concert at Carnegie Hall Dec. 11, 2008.
He had a piece on the program, of course, but not some chestnut written when he was a student in Paris in the 1930s or an avant-gardist in New York in the 1950s or a Pulitzer Prize winner in the 1960s or a setter of American poetry in the 1970s or a begetter of chamber music and concertos in the 1980s. Mr. Carter wrote the 17-minute piece, for piano and orchestra at 98. In fact, since he turned 90, Mr. Carter poured out more than 40 published works, an extraordinary burst of creativity at a stage when most people would be making peace with mortality. His first opera had its premiere in 1999. He produced 10 works in 2007 and six more in 2008.
The new Carter piece, "Interventions," was given its New York premiere by the pianist Daniel Barenboim and the Boston Symphony Orchestra, with James Levine conducting. The program included Stravinsky's "Rite of Spring." Mr. Carter said he heard that piece at Carnegie 85 years ago, a performance that helped inspire him to become a composer.
To paraphrase the musical satirist Tom Lehrer, when Mozart was Mr. Carter's age, he had been dead for decades. Mr. Carter lived more than three times as long as Schubert. Some composers, like Verdi and Richard Strauss, produced until the end of long lives — in their mere 80s. Lionized as one of the great American composers, Mr. Carter was respected as much, if not more, in Europe. The intellectual and performing giants of the field — people like Mr. Barenboim and Mr. Levine, the pianist and scholar Charles Rosen and the composer and conductor Pierre Boulez — championed him. Despite the thorny, complex nature of much of his music, his concerts in his later years were often packed.
Audiences do not always take well to Mr. Carter's complicated works. But players are drawn to his music because of its challenges and his ability to write well for their instruments. In his middle decades Mr. Carter could spend a year writing a piece. His recent compositions have generally grown shorter and less dense.
Mr. Carter was born in New York, the son of a lace importer. He attended Harvard with a recommendation from Charles Ives, majored in English and went to France to study composition with the legendary teacher Nadia Boulanger.

The Daring Engineering Behind Vancouver's Capilano Cliffwalk
Social media's ubiquity means that we can now be connected to hundreds, even thousands of friends, acquaintances or random strangers online. For some, it can easily spin out of control and create a disconnect from real life—in addition to being an egregious waste of time. Managing multiple social media accounts has led some otherwise well-adjusted people to become overwhelmed, distracted—or worse.
But for many of us, completely unplugging from our digital selves isn't a viable option. So how do we stay plugged in but also keep our sanity (and have time to get our real work done)? Through a combination of smart, simple strategies and a few handy tech tools, it can be done.
First, get organized. Clutter on your digital desktop can be just as poisonous to productivity as a mess on your actual desk's surface. But it can be tough to keep your computer's desktop streamlined when you've got windows open for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and GChat (among others) in addition to your actual work. Experts tell PM that before you start thinking about social media timesaving strategies, make sure your desktop is in order. And if you're not already, get to be a whiz at tabbed browsing so Web browser windows don't overwhelm your screen's real estate.
Operating systems now come with more features to help compartmentalize your digital spaces, like the Spaces function in Apple's Mac OS X. Spaces allows you to shuffle between different desktops and keep some things out of view—like your Facebook page, when your boss is headed toward your cube or you simply want to keep your concentration on the task at hand. Or you could use hardware rather than software means to achieve some visual organization, such as adding an extra monitor. Adding another screen instantly gives you more pixels at your disposal and helps you designate separate tasks and functions to separate physical spaces. And for multitaskers, a second monitor can let you dedicate one screen solely to social media while you work on the other.
Don't forget to get organized on your mobile device, too. Most smartphones have multiple "desktops" that can be customized to group apps and documents together. Organizing all your social media apps on one desktop gives you a central portal from which to manage your accounts on your phone.
And cut the fat. If you're still getting emails from Friendster, MySpace or some other service that's long since fallen out of favor, use them as a reminder to migrate your contacts to your email or to another network, then delete the account. That's one less thing to worry about updating (and one less thing to worry about getting hacked).
