By a vote of 264 to 158, the U.S. House of Representatives voted Wednesday to delay the DTV transition deadline until June 12.
The House action effectively ends the efforts by those, mostly Republicans, to maintain the original Feb. 17 DTV transition deadline. Last week, the Senate approved the delay, and President Barack Obama, who requested the delay in the weeks leading up to his inauguration, is expected to sign the bill into law.
Pressure from multiple sources mounted in the weeks preceding the vote. Concern from the Consumers Union about the preparedness of the nation's over-the-air TV viewers, figures of The Nielsen Company showing more than 6.5 million remained unprepared as of January, and questions raised by multiple FCC commissioners about the agency's ability to handle the crush of consumer inquiries after Feb. 17 all added weight to those arguing for a delay.

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
Afghan women: the fight for survival
Andrea Schmidt | 15 Dec 2013 14:50 GMT | Environment, Business & Economy, US & Canada, Australia, Bangladesh
As people around the world celebrate Nelson Mandela's life and legacy, a new generation of activists is drawing inspiration from the anti-apartheid struggle in South Africa. And they're adopting the tactics that helped that movement emerge victorious and end white minority rule two decades ago.
On Friday, December 6, the day after Mandela's death, more than 150 students from 10 universities across the Boston area rallied to demand that their school administrations divest from the fossil fuel industry. On a bridge over the Charles River they hung a banner, it read, "Divest from Climate Crisis".
At about the same time, at Vassar College in New York State, students held a teach-in. "We had a number of speakers talk about divestment and why it needs to happen soon," Graham Stewart, co-coordinator of the Vassar Green's divestment campaign, told Al Jazeera.
And a few days later on December 11, Cornell University's faculty senate followed the student body's lead and passed a non-binding resolution calling on the university to fully divest from fossil fuels by 2035.
The growing movement to divest from fossil fuels is the latest example of how tactics that contributed to the dismantling apartheid live on – boycott and divestment tactics that channeled international solidarity with black South African's struggle for equality, and built a moral case for the state's isolation.
"Until [the anti-apartheid] movement got started on university campuses in the 80s, the public just wasn't paying that much attention to it," said Elizabeth Sanders, a professor of Government at Cornell, and a co-sponsor of the faculty resolution to divest from fossil fuels. But the movement forced political action. "Ultimately they got two thirds of the vote in Congress to pass a resolution that American companies couldn't invest in South Africa," she said
In the 1990s, campaigns to divest from the tobacco industry were built on that precedent.
More recently, the movement for boycott, divestment and sanctions – or BDS – against the state of Israel "until it complies with international law and Palestinian rights" has campaigned for universities and religious institutions to divest from US corporations operating in Israel, waged consumer boycotts against products made in West Bank settlements, and pushed for academic and cultural boycotts. The 2005 call for BDS by Palestinian civil society groups cites the South African struggle against apartheid as a source of inspiration.
Now, it's climate activists' turn.
Fossil fuel divestment
On 300 campuses across the United States, there are students pushing to have their colleges and universities freeze new investment in the top two hundred publicly-traded fossil fuel companies and to divest from them entirely within five years.
"We're taking the courage that this can work from the anti-apartheid activists and from Nelson Mandela," said Chloe Maxmin, a Harvard Junior and the coordinator of Divest Harvard. The group is asking administrators to divest Harvard's 30 billion dollar endowment fund - the largest in the country.
I see the connection to the anti-apartheid movement as taking away the hold that the fossil fuel industry has over our political system by making it socially unacceptable and morally unacceptable to be financing fossil fuel extraction.
- Sara Blazevic, Swarthmore College.
Coordinated at a national level by 350.org, an organisation dedicated to fighting climate change, the campaign encourages religious institutions, cities and counties to divest as well. A year after its launch in the US, it's gone international, spreading to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.
Perhaps counter-intuitively, its strategy is not first and foremost to hurt coal, oil and gas companies' bottom lines by shedding their stock.
"Divestment isn't just an economic tactic," 350 spokesperson Jamie Henn told Al Jazeera. "It's a social and political one."
The debates divestment generates are meant to cast doubt on the viability of the carbon business in the 21st century. The argument goes like this: The International Energy Agency calculates that the fossil fuel industry will need to not burn about 80% of their reserves of coal, oil, and gas to keep global warming to 2 degrees Celsius. (Most countries have agreed that is the limit beyond which climate chaos looms.) The value of those reserves - about 2 trillion dollars - is already factored into fossil fuel companies' share prices. So those share prices are inflated, and are going to be worth a lot less once governments are forced to begin regulating carbon.
"What the fossil fuel divestment movement is saying to companies is your fundamental business model of extracting and burning carbon is going to create an uninhabitable planet. So you need to stop. You need a new business model," explained Maxmin.
Slow response
Despite efforts to cull reliance on fossil fuels, political opposition from oil, gas and coal industries and their lobbyists has made governments slow to legislate a carbon tax, or place other limits on extraction.
Asked about the divestment movement's impact on the industry so far, the America Petroleum Institute, a DC-based lobby group, sent Al Jazeera a statement: "This so called campaign is preposterous. It does a disservice to our nation's pursuit of long-term energy security and to the thousands of families that rely on the substantial investment returns provided to college endowments by the oil and natural gas industry."
"I see the connection to the anti-apartheid movement as taking away the hold that the fossil fuel industry has over our political system by making it socially unacceptable and morally unacceptable to be financing fossil fuel extraction," said Sara Blazevic, who is organizing for divestment at Swarthmore College.
Although the movement has spread quickly, and there have been early wins, it has generated controversy and opened old wounds. Seven colleges have already committed to divestment, as have more than 20 (notoriously liberal) US cities like Seattle and San Francisco.
At Swarthmore, Blazevic recalls making a presentation about divestment to the school's Board of Managers. The students, she said, "essentially got shouted down by older members of the board who had been around for divestment from South Africa and referred to it as the worst thing that ever happened to the Swarthmore Board of Managers and for them in the 80s".
Swarthmore divested from South Africa in 1990, after more than a decade of student campaigning. "That experience left many on Swarthmore's current Board with an even greater conviction that the endowment should not be used in this way again," Swarthmore Vice President for Finance Suzanne Welsh wrote in an email interview with the college's Daily Gazette.
Divestment rejected
Since then, in an open letter Swarthmore's managers have said that though "concern about climate change is both welcome and entirely warranted", the board will not divest because "we believe that to do so would have no measurable effect on halting climate change and at the same time would pose an unacceptable risk to the College's finances".
Instead, the Board advocates for the school to take a stronger leadership role on climate legislation, and to engage in shareholder activism.
Similarly, Harvard President Drew Faust has rejected student and alumnae calls for divestment.
"Conceiving of the endowment not as an economic resource, but as a tool to inject the University into the political process or as a lever to exert economic pressure for social purposes, can entail serious risks to the independence of the academic enterprise," she wrote in a public statement last Fall. (Harvard selectively divested from apartheid South Africa in 1987.)
Some students say the opposition from board and administrators has only helped to galvanize their efforts.
"It's a lot easier for people to get behind a definite no than maybe this will happen, maybe it won't," said Stewart.
Professor Sanders hopes that the success of the Cornell faculty motion will cause the University President to reconsider his rejection of a student motion to divest last year. "We have to act for the younger generation who are going to bear the consequence of this, and for the poor people who live in low-lying areas and islands and places like Bangladesh," she said. "Because they're already suffering from it, and we have an obligation to them."

Ole Miss 47 … Texas Tech 34
Texas Tech appeared to be well on its way to an easy win with a 14-0
first quarter lead on a 35-yard Edward Britton touchdown catch and a
Darcel McBath interception return for a score, but Ole Miss came back
with two Jevan Snead touchdown passes, getting a brilliant catch from
Mike Wallace from 41 yards out. Snead connected with Gerald Harris for a
21-yard score on the way to a 24-21 first half lead, helped by Texas
Tech QB Graham Harrell coming up just short on a long run at the end of
the half. Marshay Green came up with a 65-yard interception for a
touchdown as part of a 24-point Rebel run of points, and then the
defense came up big with a safety while allowing just a 12-yard Edward
Britton touchdown catch in the second half before giving up a late
17-yard Eric Morris scoring grab when the game was out of reach. .

In a complete and total obliteration, Oklahoma rolled out to a 28-0
lead on two short touchdown runs from DeMarco Murray and Chris Brown
and touchdown passes from Sam Bradford. Bradford hit Jermaine
Gresham for a 19-yard score and Juaquin Iglesias for a 28-yard
touchdown, and finished with four touchdown passes connecting with
Manuel Johnson on a 66-yard play in the third and with Ryan Broyles
on a 26-yard play in the fourth. Graham Harrell threw three

loss is a loss. Losing to Oklahoma was bad, but losing to Baylor
next week would be worse. There's still a very good chance that
Oklahoma State could upset OU in Stillwater, and if that happened,
Texas Tech is playing for the Big 12 title if it beats Baylor. This
week's loss was a case of Tech running into a buzzsaw against a
pumped up team that had everything working. The Red Raider running
game never got going, the pass protection wasn't there, and there
were dropped passes. This is still a great Red Raider team, but it
has to show it off again next week or else all the great things that
happened this year will be for naught.
Nov. 8
Tech 56 … Oklahoma State 20
Texas Tech rolled up 629 yards of total offense with Graham Harrell
and Michael Crabtree hooking up three times for scores, with Harrell
throwing for six scores overall. Oklahoma State had its chances,
getting up first on a two-yard Kendall Hunter touchdown run and
driving in the third quarter down just 14, but a Brandon Pettigrew
fumble paved the way to a nine-play, 48-yard drive finishing with an
eight-yard Crabtree score. Shannon Woods added three touchdowns for

Texas win might have been the biggest in Texas Tech history, but the
win over the Oklahoma State was when everything came together. This
might have been the best performance in the Mike Leach era with the
quarterbacks (Taylor Potts came in late) competing 45-of-55 passes
for 516 yards and seven touchdowns with no interceptions. The team
proved that there wouldn't be a letdown after the Texas win, but now
there's a week off before going to Oklahoma. Will the consistency
and explosion cool off? It's unlikely. The team will have to be used
to playing in adverse situations; Oklahoma will be certain to keep
up the pace.
Nov. 1
Tech 39 … Texas 33
Graham Harrell connected with Michael Crabtree for a 28-yard
touchdown with one second left on the clock as Texas Tech fought
back to pull off the biggest win in school history. The Red Raiders
got up 19-0 starting out with a safety on the first Texas offensive
play, and Baron Batch ran for a three-yard touchdown and Harrell hit
Eric Morris for an 18-yard touchdown. Texas struggled to get back,
but was able to get a field goal at the end of the first half and
got a spark on a 45-yard Jordan Shipley punt return for a score
early in the second. Tech got the momentum back with an 18-yard
interception return for a touchdown from Daniel Charbonnet, but
Texas wasn't done. Colt McCoy hit Malcolm Williams for a 37-yard
touchdown late in the third, and hooked up with Williams again for a
91-yard touchdown pass early in the fourth. Texas was able to
finally take the lead on a four-yard Vondrell McGee touchdown run
with 1:29 left to play, but after a big kickoff return from Jamar
Wall, Texas Tech had a short field to work with. With 11 seconds to
play, Texas appeared to have a sure interception, but Blake Gideon
let the ball slip through his hands allowing Tech one final shot.
Player of the game:

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... All of
a sudden, with one incredible pass and a phenomenal catch and
touchdown, Texas Tech is deep in the national title hunt with the
potential to make an even bigger statement over the next two games
against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. The offense will be the
offense, the production will always be there, but the key to winning
will be the improved play of a defensive front that knocked Colt
McCoy around all night long. As big as this win over Texas might
have been, don't forget that it took a minor miracle to pull off the
win, and had that last play not clicked, everyone would be talking
about how McCoy pulled it off and how Tech blew a 19-0 lead.

Tech 63 … Kansas 21
Graham Harrell threw five touchdown passes and ran for another, and
Darcel McBath picked off three passes as Texas Tech blew past
Kansas. The Jayhawks tied it at 14 in the first quarter on a 10-yard
Dezmon Briscoe catch, and then it was all Red Raiders as they scored

Texas Tech opened up a tight game with a strong second half scoring
the first 23 points with A&M only able to get on the board with a
blocked kick return for a two-point conversion. The Aggies
controlled most of the first half with Stephen McGee throwing a
three-yard touchdown pass to Ryan Tannehill and Mike Goodson running
for a one-yard score, but Tech stayed alive with a 25-yard Michael
Crabtree touchdown catch and two scores from Baron Batch. Graham

Tech did what good teams are supposed to do. After struggling early
on against Texas A&M, the defense tightened up, adjusted, and
controlled the second half while the offense kept on rolling. Tech
held on to the ball for more than 22 minutes in the second half and
finished with 10-of-12 on third down conversions. Graham Harrell
spread the ball around well, and while he didn't hit on much of
anything deep, he kept taking what the Aggies gave him. He did a
great job of keeping plays alive with his feet and his vision.
However, for all the positives, the Red Raiders committed 10
penalties and committed three turnovers.

Texas Tech got a one-yard touchdown run from Eric Morris in
overtime, but the point after attempt was blocked. Nebraska wasn't
able to take advantage as Joe Ganz threw an ill-advised pass into
the arms of Red Raider DB Jamar Wall to end the thriller. The
Huskers had forced overtime with a 17-yard Todd Peterson touchdown
catch with just 29 seconds to play as a response to a great late
drive from Texas Tech that finished with a one-yard Graham Harrell
scoring plunge. Tech held a 24-10 with just over 12 minutes to play,
but Ganz ran for a touchdown and threw for two scores in a wild

element to put teams away. The Red Raiders should've put the
Nebraska game well out of reach in the third quarter. The running
game was working and Graham Harrell averaged an impressive 11.4
yards per pass, but when it came time to come up with the big plays
in the fourth quarter, the offense, outside of Michael Crabtree,
struggled a bit. With a bad Texas A&M defense up next, the offense
has to have everything working perfectly with the big boys (Kansas,
Texas, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma) to follow.

season, and it was a joke. Graham Harrell was on point from the
start, the running game was solid, Shannon Woods and Baron Batch
keep on rolling, and the defense kept the middling Wildcat offense
in check. Nebraska is struggling, so next week's game needs to be
another blowout, and Texas A&M is a mess, so there's no reason to
expect anything less than a 7-0 start before the meat of the
schedule kicks in starting with a date at Kansas.
Sept. 20
Texas Tech 56 … Massachusetts 14
Texas Tech had few problems against UMass getting out to a 42-7
halftime lead thanks to help from the running game. Graham Harrell
threw for 322 yards and four touchdowns, while Shannon Woods ran for
108 yards and three scores. UMass got its first half score on a
53-yard fumble return for a touchdown from Brian Ellis, but that
only seemed to sharpen up the Texas Tech attack that much more.
Harrell threw two touchdown passes to Eric Morris and connected with
Michael Crabtree for a four-yard score, while Woods scored from two,
38 and 18 yards out. The defense got into the act on the first drive
of the third quarter when Darcel McBath took a Liam Coen pass 45
yards for a score.
Player of the game: Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell completed
27-of-34 passes for 322 yards and four touchdowns
Stat Leaders: UMass - Passing: Liam Coen, 13-20,
145 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Korrey Davis, 15-51, 1 TD. Receiving:
Victor Cruz, 5-54
Texas Tech - Passing: Graham Harrell, 27-34, 322
yds, 4 TD
Rushing: Shannon Woods, 10-108, 3 TD. Receiving:
Baron Batch, 5-68
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Texas Tech got
the ground game involved a bit more in the win over UMass, and while
Graham Harrell and the passing game did its thing without a problem.
It was Shannon Woods and Baron Batch who provided the balance with
163 yards and three scores. Woods got all the touchdowns, but they
showed that it's not always going to ball about Harrell. Finally the
team gets a real game with a trip to Kansas State up next.
Sept. 13
Texas Tech 43 … SMU 7
The Texas Tech offense worked, and SMU's didn't. Michael Crabtree
scored from 23, 47 and 50 yards out, and Graham Harrell threw
touchdown passes to Edward Britton and Detron Lewis as part of a
43-0 Red Raider run. SMU finally got on the board with a seven-yard
Aldrick Robinson touchdown catch late in the fourth. The Mustang
attack was outgained 693 yards to 274 with the Red Raiders throwing
for 513 yards.
Player of the game: Texas Tech WR Michael Crabtree caught eight
passes for 164 yards and three touchdowns.
Stat Leaders: Texas Tech - Passing: Graham
Harrell, 31-48, 418 yds, 5 TD
Rushing: Baron Batch, 10-98, 1 TD. Receiving: Michael Crabtree,
Passing: Bo Levi Mitchell, 13-24, 155 yds, 5 INT
Rushing: DeMyron Martin, 10-33. Receiving: Emmanuel
Sanders, 8-125
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
The penalties
keep on coming. Yes, the offense needed to show it really does work
with a blowout game against SMU, and yes Graham Harrell appeared to
be back on track again, but there were 8 penalties for 61 yards for
a team that's having issues at keeping the mistakes to a minimum.
Overall, through, this was the wipeout needed to get Michael
Crabtree rolling and to open up the passing game. Now it all has to
Sept. 6
Texas Tech
35 ... Nevada 19
Texas Tech sputtered a bit by its own high standards, but it came up
with the big play with Eric Morris returning a punt 86 yards for a
touchdown and Michael Crabtree catching an 82-yard scoring pass to
finally pull away. The Red Raiders never trailed after getting down
3-0, but the Wolf Pack stayed alive on four Brett Jaekle field goals
and Marko Mitchell caught a 48-yard scoring pass in the fourth.
Shannon Woods ran for two Tech touchdown runs and Morris added a
13-yard scoring run to stay one step ahead in the second half.
Player of the game:
Texas Tech LB Bront Bird made 14 tackles with
a sack and two tackles for loss
Stat Leaders: Nevada - Passing: Colin Kaepernick,
24-35, 264 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Colin Kaepernick, 17-92. Receiving: Marko
Mitchell, 9-147, 1 TD
Texas Tech - Passing: Graham Harrell, 19-46, 297
yds, 1 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Baron Batch, 6-47. Receiving: Michael Crabtree,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Is it time
to worry that it's only game two and the machine isn't firing on all
cylinders? Chalk up the win over Nevada to a defense that bent, but
rarely broke as it held the Wolf Pack offense to field goals instead
of touchdowns until the fourth quarter. When the offense needed the
big play, it got it from Michael Crabtree. In the end, it might be a
good sign that the team didn't play well and still one, but the
penalties are still a problem committing nine for 81 yards.
Aug. 30
Texas Tech 49 ...
Eastern Washington 24
Graham Harrell bombed away for 536 yards with Eric Morris and Detron
Lewis combining for 18 catches for 327 yards, but it was the running
game that came up with most of the points with Shannon Woods running
for two shore scores and Harrell, Aaron Crawford and Baron Batch
each getting into the end zone. EWU hung around down 28-17 at
halftime, but the Red Raiders put it away on a one-yard Edward
Britton touchdown catch. Michael Crabtree made nine catches for 73
yards and a score.
Player of the game:
Texas Tech QB Graham Harrell completed 43
of 58 passes for 536 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.
He also ran for a score.
Stat Leaders: Eastern Washington - Passing: Matt
Nichols, 36-51, 335 yds, 1 TD, 3 INT
Rushing: Dale Morris, 9-17. Receiving: Tony Davis, 13-114,
Texas Tech - Passing: Graham Harrell, 43-58,
536 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Baron Batch, 5-40, 1 TD. Receiving: Eric Morris,
Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Eastern
Washington is one of the best FCS teams going into the year with a
high-octane offense, so there's no real need to get worried quite
yet about the defense having a few problems. Penalties were the
biggest problem with the Red Raiders committing 18 for 169 yards.
Fortunately, the team has four games to work on tightening up before
dealing with Kansas State.

Rest of the Class
2007 Recap
It was a familiar tale for Texas Tech in 2007, highlighted by plenty
of offense, a bowl invitation, and an inability to break through the
glass ceiling in the Big 12 South. The Red Raiders did add one
twist this season, a rare New Year's Day bowl game against Virginia
that they rallied to win with 17 unanswered points in the final four
minutes. QB Graham Harrell continued his assault on the record
books, throwing 48 touchdown passes and uncovering a new partner in
crime, freshman WR Michael Crabtree.
Offensive Player of the Year: WR Michael Crabtree
Defensive Player of the Year: S Joe Garcia
Biggest Surprise: For the second time in three years, the Red
Raiders upset Oklahoma in Lubbock, knocking the nation's No. 3 team
out of the national title hunt. Yeah, it helped that Sooner QB Sam
Bradford lasted less than a quarter, but the way Harrell and
Crabtree were hooking up all night, Tech might have won the game no
matter the circumstances.
Biggest Disappointment: Even 646 yards from Harrell and a
pair of 200-yard receivers weren't enough for the Red Raiders to
outscore Oklahoma State on Sept. 22. Tech held the lead late in the
final quarter, but relinquished it for good when Cowboy TE Brandon
Pettigrew rambled for a 54-yard touchdown reception with 1:37 left
in the game.
Looking Ahead: The Red Raiders lose very little from last
year's Gator Bowl team, and developed a lot of young kids, so
they'll be thinking real big in 2008. The offense is fine, but to
win that elusive Big 12 South crown, Tech must plug up some holes on
defense, especially against the run.

This Cathedral, named after the "holy" feature in the centre of the main crag, is a rare find for Sydney suburban climbing. Firstly, it's 25 meters high and the rock is not your average Sydney sandstone which makes for some variety. Secondly, the weird location, the tall trees and the huge mosquitoes give this place a Jurassic Park adventurer like feeling.
People, including Joe Friend, were known to have climbed here way back in the 1970's but in the most part it went underneath the radar. In 1990 two puny teenagers, Kent Heffernan and Graham Fairburn unearthed the place establishing many of the classics. They soon attracted the sharks, Dave Barnes and Mike Law and his band of merry men (and women). Bruce Stevens and his local crew also were working on some hard projects here. There are some wicked cracks to jump on and some technical face and slab routes sprinkled throughout. My favorites are Ozone Action (17) and Hercules (22). There is also a slabby bouldering area on the walk in, described in the SRC guide (below).
There is now a good access route from Menai at the top. P.S. Sorry fella's, I lost the padlock key to the bracket on Jaded Cravings (23) Doh. However, the padlock does add character to the climb. Have fun. Barnsey
Routes are described right to left as you face the crag.
There is a more up to date guide on:-http://routes.sydneyrockies.org.au/confluence/display/nswrock/The+Cathedral
Access issues inherited from Sutherland
There is easy access to all the sites with an average walking time from car to cliff being under five minutes! To get the Shire drive south towards Wollongong from the Sydney CDB or take the Heathcote Road if coming from the South West. West Sydney climbers can approach aiming for Menai. Alternatively, take the train. Some areas in national parks are off limits and permission may be sought for crags such as the Wok, Heathcote Bridge and Alford's Point.
Park at the end of Shackel Rd, Bangor. Please don't fill up the street and block access for locals. If there are a few cars about then park 50m further up the hill. Locate the track heading down into the bush on the left. It is marked with tape and first heads across the shallow gully, then turns right and heads down through a little rock band. Veer right at the cliff and down and gully then left. The first route is the little corner of Sorcerer's Apprentice.

A route on its own and the final meters of 'The Shute'. Probally a bit of a pain to get to. Rap in from trees on top of cliff and climb out. " I would not trust the old rusty carrots for the hanging belay, but there are some new RBs you could setup a hanging belay with some slings of different sizes. " 3 RB to Double RB lower off. Nice and airy up there.

The Neighborhood
It is located in the historical center of Villa Populi Porto Seguro surrounded by tropical gardens with swimming pool, convenient to downtown and beaches with bus service to 100 meters.Porto Seguro (Portuguese for "Safe Port") is a municipality in the Brazilian state of Bahia. It is the site where the Portuguese explorer Pedro Álvares Cabral first set foot on Brazilian soil on April 22, 1500. It was the busiest port of the developing Portuguese colonies from 1500 into the early 19th century and is now a major tourist destination.
Porto Seguro is located on the Atlantic coast at a midway point between Salvador and Vitória. It is 707 km. south of Salvador and 613 km. north of Vitória. It is 62 km. east of the connection with the important BR-101 highway at Eunápolis.
The region is also notable for its many beaches and vestiges of its colonial past. There are still vestiges of the Atlantic Tropical Forest nearby. There are also a number of beach-side dance floors, playing Bahia's popular music, known as "Axé".
Tourism has expanded fast in recent years and there is highly visible growth in Porto Seguro. What was once a small town of fewer than 10,000 people in the 1970s has become a city of over 100,000 people. One suburb on the southern bank of the Buranhém River, Arraial d'Ajuda, has grown from approximately 900 people in (phone number hidden) in 2005.

Charles Shopsin is a New York City-raised and Brooklyn-based software developer. In his spare time, he runs the Modern Mechanix blog. This is a film I saw last year at the Anthology Film Archives in New York. It was part of a series called "Trash-Picking and Eye-Popping: Offbeat Gems from America's Oddest 16MM Collectors." The film features what appears to be a Russian school for the blind and vision-impaired, although it took me a really long time to figure that out. I'm not sure if the school existed or if this was just some Soviet era propaganda/futurism piece. If anybody wants to translate, please post it in the comments, because I'd love to know. It looks like a cross between a science museum and a vacation resort. They have all sorts of nifty gadgets to teach the kids astronomy, engineering, anatomy, and, er ... massage. Plus there's a kick-ass computer lab complete with Braille teletypes. When I found out I was going to be guest blogging here I sent an email to Stephen Parr, owner of Oddball Films+Video asking him if he had a digital version that I might share with the class. He graciously provided me with this. Thanks, Stephen!

The Kyrie Irving All-Star extravaganza continued on Satruday night as the Cavs' point guard was crowned the 2013 3-point contest champion. Irving scored 18 in the first round and 23 in the finals to defeat the Spurs' Matt Bonner who finished with 20. In the last year and a half Irving has been crowned MVP of the Rising Stars Challenge, Rookie of the Year, and is now the 2013 3-Point Champion. The last Cavalier to win the 3-Point contest was Mark Price, who won back to back titles in 1993 and 1994. [Related: The Kyrie Irving show continues on to All-Star Saturday Night]

The first thing to notice about the actual Surface tablets is how similar they are both to each other and to last year's models. Aside from the Surface 2's eye-catching coat of white, the tablets both feel almost physically identical to their predecessors. That's a good thing; the well-angled bezels and overall high-quality feeling of the hardware was one of our favourite parts about both of the two Surfaces.

Alternate title: Meet the Nelsons
Fresh from radio and TV, "America's Favorite Family" stars in Here Come the Nelsons. That's right: this harmless little comedy is purely a vehicle for Ozzie, Harriet, David and Ricky. Since there must be a plot, the scriptwriters contrive to have Harriet uncharacteristically express jealousy over the presence of Ozzie's former schoolmate Barbara Schutzendorf (Barbara Lawrence). Meanwhile, Ozzie seethes when handsome young Charlie Jones (Rock Hudson) pays a bit too much attention to Harriet. To prove that he's still got what it takes, Ozzie competes against Charlie in a rodeo held in honor of the town's centennial (this sort of plot device usually happened to David or Ricky on the TV show). For no reason other than there are extra reels to go, little Ricky is kidnapped by a pair of bank robbers, played by Sheldon Leonard and Ed Max. Here Come the Nelsons was directed by Frederick De Cordova, whose other credits for Universal included such deathless entries as Bedtime for Bonzo. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
