Covering the Coverage

Boston native Hilary Sargent, also known as Chartgirl, made a chart about the various media and news outlets and how well they covered the Boston marathon bombing story. You'll have to click twice enlarge it at the link to read all the information. Which news outlet got the facts right? Which advertised pressure cookers on sale? Who identified the wrong people as the bombers? Who used Photoshop on the photographs? It's all here in the handy chart. Link -via Boing Boing

I've learned English, ASL, Latin, Spanish, and French. However, I have only really retained fluency in English and ASL - because those are the languages I use every day.

I've studied French, Latin, koine Greek and Old Testament Hebrew. To my regret, I haven't maintained a knowledge of any of them. To my deeper regret, I didn't spend all of that time studying Spanish, which would make me more marketable as a librarian.

I used to teach my students a few words in Klingon. Alas, there's not a lot of interest in the language of love these days. Now I teach them Ewokese instead.
