Created by Exhibit Developer Eric Socolofsky, Ship Tracker shows the Bay’s shipping lanes in real time. Over a month, small circles appear just south of the Bay Bridge. Tankers moored there are pushed back and forth by the tides—the oscillation causes the boats to rotate around their moorings, creating little (on the map—big in reality!) circles. Drop by our new Bay Observatory and see for yourself.
Growing protests attract tens of thousands across Brazil
For the fifth straight day, pent-up frustration has boiled over into protests over the Brazilian government’s skyrocketing expenditures in preparation for the upcoming World Cup and Summer Olympics, declining economic growth and a harsh response from police that has left hundreds injured.
In the city of Sao Paulo alone, an estimated 65,000 people clogged the streets for the “Free Fare Movement,” which has fought against a recent 10-cent hike in bus fares.
For some perspective on the issue of transportation costs in the country:
Two weeks ago, the Sao Paulo bus fare for a standard one-way trip increased to about $1.50. Workers on minimum wage who take two buses a day can end up spending more than 25% of their monthly income on transportation.

Wow, that woman looks like a real threat to society, good thing the cops were able to neutralize her with a point blank shot of pepper spray to the face!
