Using temporal distributions of transient events to characterize cosmological source populations
The brightest events in a time series of cosmological transients obey an
observation time dependence which is often overlooked. This dependence can be
exploited to probe the global properties of electromagnetic and gravitational
wave transients (Howell et al. 2007a, Coward & Burman 2005). We describe a new
relation based on a peak flux--observation time distribution and show that it
is invariant to the luminosity distribution of the sources (Howell et al.
2007b). Applying this relation, in combination with a new data analysis filter,
to \emph{Swift} gamma-ray burst data, we demonstrate that it can constrain
their rate density.Comment: published in proceedings of FRONTIERS OF FUNDAMENTAL AND

Armageddon Revisited: The 1973 Gubernatorial Election in Virginia
Threatening a lawsuit, Howell prepared a memorandum to NBC citing evidence of voters changing their votes to Godwin, because as one put it, A national network can\u27t be wrong. 78 Howell\u27s memorandum also mentioned an indirect tie of McGee to Godwin. Godwin constantly demanded that Howell disclose how he would replace the revenue under his tax plan.43 Throughout the campaign, Godwin stressed inconsistencies between positions Howell took on various issues in 1973 and what he had said in the past. Godwin also cited Howell\u27s endorsement of his candidacy for governor in 1965 and his comment in April that Godwin had an outstanding record as governor.44 Godwin accused Howell of trying to project a more moderate image to voters than in previous campaigns. The Godwin campaign had acquired both a tape and a transcript of Howell\u27s 1972 interview and used it in negative advertising against him.47 Republicans hoped that Howell\u27s remarks about busing would alienate voters who had supported George Wallace in 1968. In a week, according to Godwin, Mitchell called and asked if he would help in the campaign, and Godwin agreed (Godwin, Some Recollections, 53-54). [Extracted from the article
Symbolic capital and the production discourse of The American Music Show: a microhistory of Atlanta cable access
The American Music Show, an Atlanta cable public access television show that ran from 1981 to 2005, is not only a forgotten piece of production history but also a fertile case study. This article—situated in both local Atlanta and national cable access contexts in which the show began—uses the tools of production studies to construct a microhistory of local cable access, analyzing the hopes, ideals, ethos, and actual production practices that surrounded the show. The producers of The American Music Show refl ect on their work in the initial years of the show as creatively avant-garde but ultimately limited within the commercial structures of television. It is that tension that has enabled them to claim part of the show’s symbolic capital.Published versio
