Idea collection was open from June 1 - July 31, 2016. During that time, community members submitted 548 ideas on how to spend $700,000 to improve Cambridge! You can view submitted ideas on our online map.
Now it's time for our volunteer Budget Delegates to get to work! Make sure to check our blog for updates about their proposal development progress this fall.
What is PB all about?
Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process through which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. The City hopes that PB will help directly involve residents in the budgeting and City-building process, foster civic engagement and community spirit, and help ensure that the City's Capital Plan reflects the priorities of Cambridge residents.
The third Participatory Budgeting (PB) cycle in Cambridge will run from June-December 2016. This time, the City will set aside $700,000 of the FY18 Budget for one-time capital projects to improve the community. Winning projects from past PB cycles include a public toilet in Central Square, bike repair stations, a freezer van for prepared food rescue, water bottle fill stations, bilingual books for children learning English, and many others.
After community members brainstorm project ideas in June and July, volunteer Budget Delegates will research and develop those ideas into formal project proposals from August through November. Proposals that are vetted by City staff and approved by the City Manager will appear on a PB ballot in December for a public vote. Winning projects will be included in the FY18 Capital Budget for adoption.

Server Rollback and Orientation Correction
#1 Members - Reputation: 194
Posted 11 February 2012 - 11:18 PM
I'm making a top-down 2D space shooter (a la Asteroids, or more accurately, Subspace/Continuum) and am trying to implement the Valve server model for state synchronization. I've got state interpolation in, and just implemented server-side rollbacks, but am having a little trouble with the corrections caused by rolling back (see here: video).
As you can see, ships will start turning, overshoot where I let go of the key, and then snap back. I can smooth the snapping, but even with a degree of interpolation, that's undesirable behavior. Note that I haven't implemented client-side prediction yet, but that won't solve this since it appears on other players as well.
A little about my server architecture: The client captures input every 33ms, and the server sends out a snapshot every 33ms. Clients are buffered by 100ms for interpolation. Whenever the server receives input from a client, the server rolls back to the point at which the input was sent, incorporating latency and the flat 100ms buffer delay (with a maximum rollback of 500ms), applies that input, and re-simulates the world accounting for all other input it received after the rollback point. Each state is immutable, and generated from the previous immutable state plus any commands/events either received from clients or generated from the last update. The actual state simulation architecture is described in greater detail, with diagrams, here: http://www.gamedev.n...arallelization/
I know the Valve model rolls back just to apply rays from instant-hit weapons. Most of my projectiles in my game won't be instant, but rather missiles/rockets. Should I only roll back for certain commands? If so, how do I keep the controls feeling responsive while still being accurate? If I didn't rollback, the ships in that video would just plain overshoot the point at which the player let go of the keyboard (and that's with very little latency).

Here's an extended discussion of my problem:
I have two options, rollback on the server for movement input, or no rollback. Rolling back for movement input creates the jitter you saw in the video I linked above. Let's say I perform rollback for client user input for movement. Here's what happens:
(Here's the full album of the illustrations if you want to play them like slides: http://imgur.com/a/wSiVG#0)
(1) At time t0, Client 1 is moving forward normally. The server knows that the last user input hasn't changed, and since the user is buffered by 100ms, the server predicts the future position. The server sends that predicted position to all other clients (Client 2), which are also buffered 100ms and interpolate.
(2) Immediately after time t0 (1ms, well before time t1), the user input changes, and so Client 1 sends that message to the server. The state sent from the server to Client 2 is traveling through the Intertubes.
(3) Immediately before time t1 (1ms, let's say), the state sent from the server to Client 2 has arrived, and so Client 2 starts interpolating Client 1's towards the wrong position. The Server has also predicted Client 1's ship well ahead of where it actually should be, having not yet received Client 1's input.
(4) Now, actually at time t1, the Server receives Client 1's input and rolls back to correct the simulation, placing Client 1's ship where Client 1 expects it to be. The Server dispatches a new state to both Client 1 (which we ignore, since our prediction was correct), and Client 2.
(5) The state we sent to Client 2 arrives, and Client 2 is forced to interpolate Client 1's ship going backwards. This creates the snapping effect you see in my video.
But what if we didn't rollback? Well, let's see. Here's the no-rollback version:
(1) Time t0 starts as normal, except this time we're paying attention to the states the Server sends to Client 1. Currently, the Server sends the predicted state of Client 1's ship to Client 1, as well as Client 2.
(2) Immediately after the states sent to Clients 1 and 2 are sent flowing through the Intertubes, Client 1 lets go of the forward key and stops moving (let's pretend there's no inertia). That input is sent to the Server, and we predict on Client 1 that the ship will indeed stop moving. (Or we don't, and keep moving the ship forward, but that causes a feeling of unresponsive controls.)
(3) At time t1, the states sent at time t0 arrive at Clients 1 and 2. This is no problem for Client 2, but for Client 1, the ship we just thought had stopped is now interpolating forward. The input Client 1 sent to the Server is applied, but the Server has already predicted Client 1 as moving forward for a step before it could apply that input. The Server has now wrongly predicted Client 1's position for two timesteps before finally applying Client 1's input at time t0. The Server sends out states to Clients 1 and 2 with the position for Client 1, which is two timesteps out of date.
(4) Client 1 receives the terribly out-of-date state from the server, and we see the ship snapping/interpolating far beyond where we had originally intended to stop it (this means any projectiles we want to fire will have to be lead). There is no snapping or jittering for Client 2, though.
So, which one do I choose, or is there a third option? A blend of the two?
TL;DR -- The only real server-side prediction I do is assuming a client will retain a given input configuration until a client says otherwise. When a client does say otherwise, I roll back and re-simulate with the correct input configuration applied at the correct time. Is there a happy medium, or a best practice? Do shooters really only rollback to apply hit correction? If I didn't rollback, there would either be lag waiting for your movement commands to be applied (no prediction), or snapping back from the commands that were applied (prediction). Is that just something someone will have to deal with?
Any guidance on this front would be incredibly helpful. Thank you!

And that's a lot of prediction. When Client A changes direction and sends this message to the Server, the server performs a correction, then sends this out to Client B - and for all that time, Client B was simulating Client A's old position, based on old data from the server. That's a whole round-trip of latency to smooth out and no way you slice and dice it can get around that. Information takes time to travel, so you either have the correct information later or an estimate now.
The only real server-side prediction I do is assuming a client will retain a given input configuration until a client says otherwise. When a client does say otherwise, I roll back and re-simulate with the correct input configuration applied at the correct time.
You don't strictly need to do any prediction at all. Broadcast the new client positions as the server receives them and have every client see other clients slightly in the past. If your update rate is reliable enough this will work well - although whether it is fair is another matter since players with different latency will see slightly different representations of the world based on that. Although, any model that allows you to start moving locally rather than waiting for server confirmation will show different representations to all players.
But that brings you to another issue - do you really need to start moving instantly? You talk about control responsiveness, but the more instant they act locally, the more discrepancy you get between the client and the server. You also say "let's pretend there's no inertia", but that actually makes your problem worse - imagine it takes 500ms to slow to a stop from your current speed. The server can receive the 'stop' message, notes that your current latency is 40ms, and can instruct the other clients that your ship will actually stop in 460ms. (Although you probably want to do another allowance for each client's latency.) This is still just interpolation and snapping, but by building the buffer into the game design you can minimise or eliminate any overshoot. Similarly, if it takes a frame or two for an input command to be registered or for the rocket thrusters to start up, that buys you 30-50 milliseconds of time where a server can catch up to the client's intent, minimising the amount of interpolation you have to do.
Some don't rollback at all. There are arguments between various factions as to which approach is fairer. The Valve model is fairer for the shooter than the shootee, because it ensures that the shot is resolved relative to what the shooter was observing. Other models look at the authoritative server data copy at that time and may resolve the shot differently. Client A might have been able to see Client B in the open when he pressed the trigger, but the server may know that Client B was already behind cover by then and won't punish Client B for Client A's poor latency. It's just a decision each developer has to make.
Do shooters really only rollback to apply hit correction?
But yes, generally they won't roll back movement. People move fast and often enough in shooters that you can just keep interpolating towards the true position without ever really needing to snap someone back. The limited field of view also makes it less important to get high-fidelity positioning, also. Game design leaks into the networking considerations.

Dollar General's siren songJune 10,2014
Dollar Generals siren song
Barre has become encircled by Dollar General stores, with a store on three of the major roads leading to downtown. The most recent store, located in the former Times Argus building, seems almost like a slap in the face a direct challenge to the retailers a few blocks away on Main Street.
Dollar General may provide savings for those on a limited budget, but if you have a choice, drive by their seemingly welcoming parking lots and garish yellow signs. There is plenty of parking on Main Street, and you will be shopping at stores owned by your neighbors; stores that offer great customer service and reasonable prices. Shop where profits are reinvested in the local community not shipped out to corporate headquarters in Tennessee.
Lets make the choice to shop locally and support our neighbors and downtowns.

openSUSE Goes Offline To Transform
Having your Linux distribution suddenly disappear from the internet would put a strain on anyone. It does happen from time to time, however, something the team at Fedora can testify to. Announcing in advance that your distro will pull a David Copperfield would prove far less stressful, and that's exactly what the good people at openSUSE have done.
According to an openSUSE news post from Novell's Lars Vogdt, planned maintenance at the SUSE Linux office in Nuremberg, Germany will result in interruptions to a number of openSUSE's services. Though it affects only the Maxtorhof building on the Nuremberg campus, the maintenance in question is to the building's transformers, resulting in the entire site losing power for the duration of the work. As a result, all servers at the site, including those hosting openSUSE services, will be taken offline.
Failover servers are in place to handle some opensuse.org services, including:
- download.opensuse.org
- software.opensuse.org
- static.opensuse.org
- build.opensuse.org
- conference.opensuse.org
- shop.opensuse.org
The project's downtime page indicates that the failover servers for each will provide static content during the downtime, with the exception of download.opensuse.org, which bears the note that it "maybe [sic] a bit slower."
The page also notes services that will not have failover servers. They include, among others:
- features.opensuse.org
- lists.opensuse.org
- apparmor.opensuse.org
- crashdb.opensuse.org
- api.opensuse.org
- users.opensuse.org
- community.opensuse.org
- board.opensuse.org
- svn.opensuse.org
- git.opensuse.org
There is a particular note that, due to lists.opensuse.org not having a failover server, all openSUSE mailing lists will be down for the duration of the outage. According to Vogdt, building on build.opensuse.org was to end yesterday, Thursday the 10th, so that the packages on the project's mirrors would be current during the downtime.
While the work itself will take place on Saturday and Sunday, the downtime will begin today, Friday the 11th, at 13:00 UTC (9:00 AM EDT) and is scheduled to end Monday, September 14, at 7:00 UTC (3:00 AM EDT).

Product Description:
Michael Caine stars as Jim Koegh in this underrated chase movie in which Sidney Poitier plays his unwilling partner, Shack Twala, an African political activist. Shack is on the lam with his new non-friend, Jim, who by mutual agreement has planned to escape. This makes for a great drama about apartheid in South Africa. Nicol Williamson is perfect as Major Horn, the fantastically cold, brutal, and dedicated policeman who relentlessly pursues both characters. Caine is inadvertently linked to Poitier because his lawyer girlfriend, Rina Van Niekirk (Prunella Gee) has recently freed Poitier from prison for racial agitation. Williamson allows the two men to escape the first time hoping that they will lead him to Wilby (Joseph De Graft) who is Poitier's partner in guerilla activities. Ralph Nelson directs with a light touch and the film frequently evokes memories of another of Poitier's earlier films, THE DEFIANT ONES. On their way to save humanity the two run across everyone from playboys to princesses. Williamson's performance is a knock out. The film was shot in Kenya and is based on the novel by Peter Driscoll.

|Will accept most questions in general entomology, including those related to medical entomology, taxonomy, ecology, arthropod surveillance, and pest management. If you are requesting a 'mystery bug' identification, PLEASE either attach an image to your question, or post an image on a web page (such as Flickr) so that I can look at it, as verbal descriptions frequently are insufficient for a definitive identification.
Dear Ziv - Unfortunately, I cannot see enough detail in your images to hazard an identification. About all that I can say is that I do not believe that it is anything that you really need to worry about
Hi, Marilyn: Wow, thank you for sharing the great image of one of my favorite spiders. This is a female White-banded Crab Spider, Misumenoides formosipes. Here's more about the species:
Hi, Darshana: The insect in your images is a mayfly, an insect in the order Ephemeroptera. Adult mayflies live only one or two days, just long enough to reproduce. Females lay their eggs in water
This definitely a beetle but from the photo I cannot be sure what kind. I suspect they are pantry pests. They could be breeding in your dried food products. Look in your cupboards ( or any pet foods if
Dear Beverly - Although your image is not clear enough for a definitive identification, I can at least tell you what it is not. It is not a structural pest of any kind (such as termites, etc.), nor does

At last — birth control for rats! A Long Read in The Guardian.
Monday, September 12th, 2016
Now that I've joined eyeem.com, I was attracted to this article on Instagram and art history. "Today, we look at Instagram feeds with the same level of scrutiny as the Renaissance merchants who converted their Madonnas into ducats." He argues persuasively and enjoyably that we are being just like Amsterdam burghers.

Among the lessons from a 45-year study of super-smart children is to encourage effort rather than praise ability.
Monday, September 5th, 2016
This article explains — and demonstrates — all the advanced basics we need to know regarding photography with the iPhone. The aperture is fixed but everything else — shutter speed, focus, ISO, white balance — can be set. Only three apps are required: Camera+ (for the manual stuff), AfterFocus (to compensate for the lack of aperture control), and Slow Shutter Cam (because Camera+ doesn't go slower than 1/4s).

No goodbye at the Biggest Loser ranch is ever easy, and seeing Coach Mo walk out those doors was one of the harder moments this season.

Author has written 5 stories for Twilight, and Ella Enchanted.
"When King Lear dies in Act V, do you know what Shakespeare has written? He's written "He dies." That's all,
nothing more. No fanfare, no metaphor, no brilliant final words. The culmination of the most influential work
of dramatic literature is "He dies." It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." And yet every time I read
those two words, I find myself overwhelmed with dysphoria. And I know it's only natural to be
sad, but not because of the words "He dies." but because of the life we saw prior to the words. "

Whence such a name?
What happened across the Bay at Kent Island to give Bloody Point and the Bloody Point Lighthouse that chilling name?
Nobody knows — for certain.
How's that?
"Many of the names of locations have been lost over time due to the fact that ownership changes hands," explains Maya Davis of the Maryland State Archives. "Often time new owners change the name of the property."
Nonetheless, there are stories. Christopher Haley, research director for the History of Slavery in Maryland for the Maryland State Archives, outlines the top contenders.
Story 1: In the early days of the colonies, the land that would become known as Kent Island was inadvertently given to two people who represented two colonies — one from Maryland and the other from Virginia. The mistake, unnoticed until one had established a town, led to a bloody scrimmage.
Story 2: Native Americans were massacred at the point. Supposedly, the Native Americans were invited to an interview with the colonists who killed them without warning.
Story 3: A pirate convicted of stealing a small boat and killing the three crewmembers was executed and his body hung at Bloody Point to warn others against such crimes.
Story 4: The point was a place where slave ships threw ailing captives overboard. This heinous practice has been documented in other places, so it could have occurred in the Bay.
All the stories are bloody, but what's the truth?

Happy Mothers Day to Linne's two-toed sloth Ivy
Does Hallmark make cards for sloth mothers? Not likely, so let's send a special Happy Mother's Day wish to Ivy at the National Aquarium. Ivy, a Linne's two-toed sloth, gave birth to a baby girl, named Fern, two weeks ago.
The baby sloth is the newest addition to the Upland Tropical Rain Forest and the sixth sloth born at the National Aquarium.
"We're thrilled to welcome Fern," says Ken Howell, curator of the Rain Forest exhibits.
Mother and daughter are doing so well that they're back home in the exhibit. But you'll have to look sharp to spot them. Sloths are well camouflaged.
Ivy came to the exhibit in 2007 from a captive breeder. She gave birth to Felize in 2015, Scout in 2013, Camden in 2012 and now Fern.
Baby sloths tend to be a bit on the clingy side. They start eating solid foods within a couple of weeks after birth but remain with their mother for nearly a year. Fully grown, Linne's two-toed sloths will reach the size of a small dog, about 12 to 20 pounds. When she's ready, baby Fern will be fed a diet of green beans, sweet potatoes, grapes and other fruits. It can take up to a month for a sloth to digest a single meal. Now you understand where the term sloth got its meaning.
In the wild, this species is common in South America's rain forests, where they spend their lives among the treetops, mostly hanging from their four-inch claws. With two claws on their front feet and three on the back, these nocturnal creatures are ideally designed for life in the canopy. They can sleep up to 20 hours a day. Sloths even mate and give birth while hanging upside-down.
Linne's two-toed sloths are not endangered like their cousins, the maned three-toed sloth and pygmy three-toed sloth. All sloths are however threatened by continued habitat loss and fragmentation of forests, which forces them to come to the ground to travel to additional trees. On the ground, they become easy prey and face injury and death trying to cross roadways.
It's complicated
Except for Eve (and Adam) — as former Maryland poet laureate Michael Glaser points out in this week's paper — every one of us has a mother.
remembering to Eve, try to imagine …
how she never knew a mother
or the fruit of a kind and nurturing hand.
In turn, every one of us is a son or daughter. As the seven-year CBS standard-setting series The Good Wife ends on Mother's Day, my thoughts turn to what it means to be a good daughter.
"That's ultimate praise," I said the other day to a friend whose 94-year-old mother shares her home.
"Do you think so?" she said, perhaps feeling the weight of obligation.
With my mother 28 years dead, the weight I feel is regret. I feel the regret of missing her — and the regret of having been a very imperfect daughter. For what she wanted most was to be understood in her own terms. That I could not do when she was alive and kicking.
For children, a great shadow blocks the light of understanding. We are throwing that shadow. Only a very little light passes around the child to illuminate the person on the other side of the mother-child relationship. Her motherhood is so central to our child that we can't see beyond it to whoever she is besides our mother.
Mother-blindness is not mine alone. That's a discovery I made reading the poems that make up our Mother's Day feature.
In calling them to me, I made no hypothesis, primed no pump. I simply sat down on the floor to surround myself with the books of poetry on a small bottom shelf. Many of the thin books there are the brainchildren of local poets. T'was them I addressed, as well as one or two more whose poems I know by ear rather than eye.
Will you contribute a poem? I asked each. My only stricture: It must be about — ideally to — your mother.
Most sent single poems, and I printed what I got.
How often these mothers appear in the shadow of the child!
Or emerging from that shadow, as in Glaser's irresistible A Blessing for My Mother, one of the half dozen poems he offered for this issue
Though she drove me to the brink,
it wasn't 'till I got there, I think,
that I finally understood:
what she aimed for was good.
Blessed be her intent
Blessed be what she meant.
Read them in the feature story Better Than Hallmark, and you'll see what I mean.
Still, I think you're in for another surprise — as I was. All together, they cover quite a bit of the sublimely complicated relationship of mother and child. Ranging from three lines to 33, each — being a poem — has more to say than is readily apparent. Though some will tease and fret you with elusive meaning, you'll feel what they say. Poetry is good for complicated emotions because it doesn't reduce them to abstractions.
Have you figured out the terms of your unique partnership in this universal condition?
In other words, what does your mother mean to you and you to her?
The simplest answer: It's complicated.
No wonder so many people buy greeting cards to speak in their stead.
To try your own, follow this feature with What's a Mother For, on how grieving granddaughter Janice Lynch Schuster used drawings to tap into motherlove.

An absurdist retelling of a surreal moment in American history
A man shows up at the White House and asks to see the president. The request gives pause to the secret service, as the man is Elvis Presley (Michael Shannon: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice).
The whole situation is bizarre. One day in 1970, Elvis flew to Washington, D. C., to meet President Nixon and ask him for a badge making him an undercover federal officer at large. The King, apparently, had decided he was the best way to combat the threat of communism. His plan was to go to communist meetings and parties where drugs were sold, collect information on the key players and convince kids to forswear drugs while embracing patriotism.
It sounds crazy, but friends are used to The King's whims.
The president, on the other hand, thinks this plan sounds as screwy as Elvis himself. Staunch conservative Richard Nixon (Kevin Spacey: House of Cards) sneers at popular culture. He has no interest in Elvis, despite his staff's pleas that a meeting might win the youth vote. Only when his daughter demands an autograph does Nixon agree to the meeting.
When The King meets The President, what happens?
A funny fictionalization of the infamous meeting, Elvis & Nixon offers insight into both characters. Director Liza Johnson (Hateship Loveship) wisely chose to let the actors carry the movie. There's little fancy camera work. Except for a few inspired montages of period-accurate footage, it's all about Shannon and Spacey. Rather than mimic their famous counterparts with silly impressions, the actors offer genuine performances.
As Richard Nixon, Spacey shines. He creates a grumbling president more interested in taking a nap than winning over American youth. Blustering through hackneyed dialog and ensemble scenes, Spacey continues his run of magnificent jerks.
Shannon has the harder task of capturing the essence of Elvis. He succeeds by imbuing the King with the childlike simplicity of a man who can't comprehend a world that does not bow to his whims.
The two finally meet in a classic comedy of errors. Both believe they're in charge, and both have a reason to assume so. Spacey and Shannon dance around each other in a delightful ballet of ticks and quirks as they goad each other to new and greater heights.
It's worth the ticket price to see this entertaining riff on an odd footnote in history on the big screen as two acting greats battle it out.
Crowded bulbs are smaller bulbs and produce smaller flowers
As the trumpets of daffodil petals herald spring, we see clumps growing in roadside banks as well as in gardens. Pretty as they are, the flowers in those large clumps are not as large as those of single plants or smaller clumps. Crowded bulbs are smaller bulbs and thus produce smaller flowers due to a lower reserve of food.
Professional gardeners dig up and thin out clumps of daffodils every five or six years. This practice allows them to not only maintain flower size but to also expand plantings.
If you would like to lift and thin your bulbs, now is the time to take the first step. First, use a large plant label or planting stake with a weatherproof tag to mark the location of each clump to be dug, and identify its flower color. After the foliage dies down to the ground, give the blubs a couple of more weeks to mature. Foliage will die more slowly in clumps growing under partial shade than those growing in full sun.
To minimize damage to the bulbs, use a fork spade for digging and lifting out the bulbs. Start digging at least three or four inches away from the ring of dead foliage. Lift the bulbs and spread them on the ground to dry in the full sun for an hour or so. After the soil on the bulbs has dried, remove it by rubbing gently with your hands. Avoid damaging the tunic, the thin papery covering on the bulbs. Do not attempt to separate the bulbs from each other at this time.
After harvesting, spread the bulbs on a flat surface in a well-ventilated room under cover to finish drying for a few weeks. Then place them in mesh bags or screen storage trays, and store them in a cool, dry place protected from rodents.
In September, plant the bulbs where you want them to bloom next spring.
Q Is there any way to compensate for winter salt damage to trees and bushes? Also affected is the grass strip paralleling the road.
A Most of the damage caused by salt is due to salinity, which kills plant roots. If the sodium level in the soil is equal to or higher than that of potassium, then the damage is more likely related to nutrition. Have the soil tested to see if there is sufficient potassium.

All kinds of surprising things expire — car seats, makeup, fire extinguishers, bike helmets, bug spray. How about life jackets?
Yes and no, depending on the type of life jacket and how much wear it has.
Foam life jackets typically do not expire. You do need to be cautious about crushing them, however, so don't use them for a kneepad, which can result in lower buoyancy. Also, ensure that they are not damaged as this could compromise their flotation or allow the floats to escape. If your life jacket has any rips, tears or the foam seems to be degraded, it's time for a new one.
If your life jacket is inflatable, you need to check the manufacturers recommendation about how frequently the CO2 cartridge needs to be changed. It varies from jacket to jacket, from every year to every few years. You also want to inspect inflatable components every few months for corrosion or dirt.
As you return to the water, remember that a well-maintained and properly used life jacket can save your life. Almost 90 percent of people who drowned following a boating accident were not wearing life jackets.
Take time to check out your life jackets prior to your maiden voyage this season to ensure you and your boating companions have dependable safety equipment.

Whenever the weather lets you
When the reel spool began turning under my thumb, I knew it was no ordinary rockfish on the end of my line. Counting to seven, I threw the Abu reel into gear, and when the line came tight, set the hook. Then my rod bent over to the corks and a stiffly set drag howled as the fish really hit the gas. This one had to be trophy sized — if only I could get it to the boat.
We were anchored up south of the Hackett's can at the mouth of the Severn River in 35 feet of water on a morning that was glassy calm despite a small-craft warning from NOAA the day before. Not deterred, my fishing companion Ed Robinson checked another forecase, www.intellicast.com, which predicted light winds until almost noon.
We agreed that if the winds were calm we would head out and fish until the weather turned. Launching my 17-foot skiff, we were on station by 8am. A half-hour later, our four rods were rigged and baited with large chunks of fresh menhaden.
A chum bag over the stern was spewing small bits of ground fish into the falling tidal current as we guessed that we had only about three hours of ebb left before slack water.
Then Ed had a run and landed a fat and healthy 23-incher, a good sign there were fish around.
A few minutes later, my bruiser hit.
How to Fish Trophy Season
Chumming during Trophy Rockfish Season is a long-odds affair. Because the big fish are spawning and moving alone or in small packs, it is impossible to determine patterns. They don't stay in one place for very long, so catching reports are mostly useless. Locating legal fish is pretty much a matter of luck.
With this year's larger 35-inch minimum size, we guessed it would be even more difficult to find keepers by fishing bait.
Trolling is the most productive technique during trophy season as you're covering far more water and using big lures. But if you want to use light tackle you've got to fish bait.
Our four outfits were medium-heavy, six-and-a-half-foot casting rods with Abu 5600 casting reels loaded with 150 yards of 20-pound fluoro-coated mono, with fish finder rigs, two-ounce sinkers and stout 9/0 hooks on 24-inch 30-pound fluoro leaders.
Reeling in a Runaway Train
It was 20 minutes into the battle before I got a glimpse of the striper. It was definitely a good one. Calming myself and making sure not to force things, I eased it to the side of the boat. Ed got most of the fish into the net. It took both of us to lift it over the gunnel. The lunker's big tail ran well past the deck-mounted 36-inch measuring tape, so we were sure it was legal. After a quick picture we eased the handsome giant into my fishbox and iced it down.
Ed had pulled all of our rigs out of the water during the battle to avoid tangles, so it took another 20 minutes to get them cleared, baited and back in the water. After that we didn't have long to wait.
One of Ed's rigs twitched, then the clicker on the reel started screaming as the fish picked up the bait and headed away at speed. It was another runaway train.
The fight mirrored my own. Almost a twin of the first one, this burly rascal also hung half out of my net as we barely managed it up over the side. Two giants inside of half an hour.
Done by 10am with two trophies in the box, their tails sticking out and the lid bulging open, we headed for the ramp grinning like fools. An hour later, a stiff north wind pushed up three-foot seas with shore-to-shore whitecaps.
With this issue, we enter Chesapeake Country's favorite season
How lucky are we?
Having lived the first half of my life landlocked in America's great Midwest, I look at the Chesapeake each day with gratitude and awe.
Now comes the time when fair days invite all of us children of the Chesapeake to do more than look.
Of course some of us are heartier than others. The Chesapeake and its many rivers are always there. Beachcombers and dog walkers go out in all seasons, even when nor'easters blow their hair southwest and throw sand in their eyes. If you paddle your own kayak or canoe, you'll find good boating weather all winter long.
Anglers will abide most any weather, as Sporting Life columnist Dennis Doyle reminds us. With the opening of rockfish season April 16, the lure of trophy giants has fishermen and women biting just as they hope the fish will.
From now through November, Chesapeake waters will be the best place to feel what life in this region is all about.
So in this issue we take you there in ways we know best, words and pictures. Each of this week's features takes us back to the water. A couple illuminate the lore and lure of sailing: Tom Hall's story about high school sailing teams and the Annapolis Junior Keelboat Regatta; and Mike Rusinski's first-person account of his midlife switch from power boating to sailing — Trading Our Combustion Engine for the Power of Wind is Rusinski's Bay Weekly debut.
Another, Nostalgia by Diane Knaus, recalls the thrill of driving your own boat — as well as the pitfalls.
For safety's sake on the water, our inquiring Chesapeake Curiosities columnist Christina Gardner reminds you to examine your life jacket.
Two more stories invite you to our rivers this Saturday, April 30: The Southern Maryland Celtic Festival and Highland Gathering on the Patuxent at Jefferson-Patterson Park and the inaugural Pigs and Pearls event on the West River at Pirates Cove in Galesville.
As getting you to the water is our goal, this issue also shines the spotlight on five Bay Weekly partners offering special opportunities on that element: the Wild Goose Chase bike tour at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge and Boaters Expo at Herrington Harbour North, both two weekends hence; plus the town of North Beach, Flag Harbor Marina and SUP2U Kayak Rental.
See you on the water, the element of the season.
Hale and Farewell: Lee Boynton
I cannot end My Back to the Water letter without paying tribute to Lee Boynton, the Annapolitan and American impressionist painter who died April 24 at the age of 62, taken by colon cancer. For I am one of hundreds taught by Lee to see the water as well as aspire to painting it.
In the beginning, there was light. Those are the first of Lee's words recorded in my journals of the half dozen watercolor classes where I was his student. The life is in the light; the life is in the paint.
Lee radiated the light of life as he spoke those words. A religious man, he believed in the divinity of the light God had created.
Light reflects as well as illuminates, Lee explained as he sought to teach us to paint lowlights as well as highlights, gradations, reflections and shadows. We caught some of the reflection of his light. He made us understand, believe and see with his life-inspired eyes.
So I see the water now in the color it takes from light, sky and atmosphere. I search my vocabulary for the words for those colors and my palette for their pigments. With opened eyes, I see the atomic vitality of the dance of life. I am one scintilla of the legacy left by Lee Boynton on this earth.
Managed right, planer boards are great for catching trophy rockfish
Fish on! Fish on!
The call rang out from the bridge, and we rushed out from the cabin to the stern to determine which of the 18 rods had hooked a trophy rockfish. Seizing a stout trolling outfit that was bent down by an obviously big striper, my friend Mike began to fight the fish to the boat.
Managing to avoid any disastrous tangles, my buddy finally got the fat and healthy 37-incher on deck. It was the first of a number of catches made possible by planer boards.
Increasing the Odds
The thrill of trophy rockfish season is getting control of a big ocean-running fish. Trolling many rods at once increases the odds of success. The challenge is avoiding tangling the active line with the many others still in the water. Because of the other rigs, the boat cannot stop lest there be even more disastrous tangles. So the victor has to overcome not only the rockfish's strength but also the boat's continued speed.
A set of connected angled boards towed to either side of a craft as far back as 150 feet, planer boards let you tow multiple lines at various distances and depths without getting them tangled. The result has been an exponential increase in big fish caught, particularly during the trophy season when trolling is by far the most effective technique.
Between Ocean and Bay
Most of the big striped bass that cruise the Atlantic Coast from Maine to South Carolina are born in our Chesapeake Bay (where we call them rockfish). They only live in the Bay for four or five years, then migrate to live in the Atlantic.
The vast baitfish schools of the ocean feed our stripers to substantial size, often over 50 pounds and sometimes over 100 pounds. These migratory giants return to the Chesapeake once a year, during the early spring, to seek out their natal waters and reproduce. After they've spawned, they return to the ocean.
Stripers begin spawning as early as February and, depending on water temperatures, can continue into May. But most are done by the third Saturday in April, when the trophy season is scheduled by Maryland law to open. Thus the season is scheduled to target fish that have already strewn their eggs.
On the Downside
Planer-board fishing does have its downside. To rig and stream out so many outfits is a complicated affair requiring good teamwork and plenty of planning and preparation.
Maneuvering a craft with a 300-foot-wide trolling footprint can be a big challenge. Despite the usual brightly colored flags marking a planer board setup, they can be hard for other boats to see, especially in choppy waters. Pleasure boaters not familiar with the fishing practice may not notice the devices in the water. The consequences of a collision with one of these towed arrays — even of an abruptly forced course change — can be costly in both time and money.
Each individual trolling lure can include expensive, multi-lure umbrella and chandelier rigs. Multiply the individual lure cost by a dozen or more, and there is a significant investment in fishing gear. Plus a large mixup can take hours to untangle and re-deploy.
Keep them out of trouble, though, and planer boards catch big fish.
This comedy is a love letter and a plea to Chicago
Calvin (Ice Cube: Ride Along 2) is a second-generation barber on the south side of Chicago. The shop is now co-ed with a new business partner (Regina Hall: Black-ish).
Calvin is proud of his neighborhood, but it's changing. He barely recognizes the street where he's spent his whole life. Robberies and shootings make the barbers fearful of working after dark. As son Jaylen (Michael Rainey Jr.: Power) considers joining a gang, Calvin makes the barbershop a safe space in hopes of encouraging his community to embrace non-violence.
If the gambit fails, Calvin plans to move his family and business to Chicago's safer north side.
Barbershop: The Next Cut strikes a surprising balance between commentary and comedy. Past installments have been far broader comedies, featuring slapstick humor, silly jokes and good music.
This film, the third in the series, seeks to provoke change as well as laughter.
Director Malcolm D. Lee (The Best Man Holiday) balances humor with drama so that neither overwhelms. Best of all are the performances. Ice Cube is a charismatic performer skilled as both a dramatic actor and straight man to the shenanigans in the shop. Cedric the Entertainer (The Soul Man) remains the perfect clown, spouting ridiculous one-liners and riling up the rest of the cast.
As for a solution to stop the violence in Chicago, you'll find opinions on what shouldn't be done but few realistic solutions beyond don't give up.

Good point C Lafong> I agree & I study the companies myself after my letter highlights them, no one system always works, thats for sure , but it gets me intrested in companies I have never knew about & so far they have been pretty decent. I got stopped on some trst & only hold half my position, but I think its OK. P.S. also in nov the same letter said to buy RMIX at $6.00 which I did & still holding & still a good buy, Im up almost 38-44% in less then 4 months, also strong possibility of a takeover this summer as well by someone like cemex. Either way its a good solid turnaround company

DETROIT (Jan. 14, 11 a.m. ET) — Although enrollment at the nation's top automotive design colleges remains steady, automakers say they are having a difficult time finding students who love cars and have a passion for design. That's forcing design schools to find new ways to train students to become the hands-on car designers automakers want.

Chris Hayes employed a lengthy metaphor when discussing the controversial Keystone pipeline on his Friday show, saying President Obama has been like an addict who knows he has a problem—in this case, with oil—but isn't taking the steps to do anything about it. Hayes urged Obama to reject the Keystone pipeline.
