Long Island Fishing Report
Brooklyn, says the scene is the same as last week. Stripers are spread out all over from Red Hook to Jamaica Bay. There’s no major concentrations of them, but you can get some just about wherever you go. There’s a ton of bait around, namely bunker and herring. So much so, that it’s tough to get the fish to bite on anything artificial some days. Guys who have their boats in the water are running west to the Raritan Bay, fishing between Jersey and Staten Island. Ralph from the shop went out flounder fishing and limited out on his two keepers.

Microsoftâs nearly $20 billion deal to acquire Nuance Communications, the speech technology giant based in Burlington, feels like the end of a chapter for Bostonâs tech scene.

That was the year that two grad students, Jim and Janet Baker, met in May, decided what they wanted to do with their lives, and got married in October. âWe wanted to find an audacious goal that was interesting, and multidisciplinary, and something we could achieve in our lifetimes,â Janet Baker says. âAnd if we did, it would have a positive impact on society.â The goal? Building software that would be able to transcribe natural, conversational human speech.
