 Black History Month was established in 1976
by Afro-Americans for the Study of
Afro-American Life and History. The
month-long celebration was an expansion of
Negro History Week, which was established in
1926 by Carter G. Woodson, director of what
was then known as the Association for the
Study of Negro Life and History. Woodson
selected the week in February that embraced
the birthdays of both Frederick Douglass and
Abraham Lincoln. The celebration may have
had its origins in the separate efforts of
Mary Church Terrell, a member of Delta Sigma
Theta Sorority, Inc., and the African
American collegiate fraternity Omega Phi
Psi. With the rise of the Black Power
Movement in the 1960s, many in the African
American community began to complain about
the insufficiency of a week-long
celebration. In 1976, the ASNLH, having
changed its name to The Association for the
Study of Afro-American Life and History,
responded to the popular call, citing the
50th annual celebration and America's
bicentennial. For more info, click

Digital TV Postponed Until June 12th,
2009 |
|
|
|
|

 On
February 4, 2009 the House passed a bill to
delay the nationwide transition to digital
television (DTV) to June 12. The National
Association of Broadcasters (NAB) will
distribute video footage of NAB President and
CEO David Rehr responding to the vote and
commenting on the DTV transition, as well as
B-roll of DTV-related shots. A transcript is
available
here.
DTVAnswers.com is the official
Web site of the National Association of
Broadcasters' digital television (DTV)
transition campaign. Launched in January 2007,
the DTV campaign's mission is to ensure that no
consumer is left unprepared, due to lack of
information, for the federally mandated
transition from analog to digital broadcasting. |

This & That |

I had
a very pleasant weekend and we had two guest musicians
staying at our house, Scott Cardell and Jeremy Bynum.
They are friends of my son Daniel. It turns out they
asked Clarence (Collins) and I to hear some of their
material. Man, they were good and I was surprised....... |

Aspects of Love
If you
are reading this column in early February, you still
have time. Order the flowers, check out the candy shops,
and take a cruise through the jewelry store. I realize
that for most men this is counterintuitive, but it
really does work..... |

Sets |

One of the
nicest feelings in poker is to flop a concealed set, one of
the strongest hands in hold'em. In practice, you will do
this less than one time out of 200 hands. First, you have to
start with a pocket pair, which happens one time out of 17
hands...... |
