Blog post about patterns of news coverage of the 2007 Jena 6 case. A big event in 2000's Black movement history and a classic example of a media cascade. Part of a larger paper I am working on about the case. www.ssc.wisc.edu/soc/racepoli...

Why we don't agree about daylight vs. standard time. Red dotted lines are where solar and clock noon could coincide. Eastern time zone extends too far west, Central & Mountain time zones are almost entirely too far west. I added lines to map from www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/map...

Finally got the word Google Scholar word cloud app to work for me.
