A rumor has been circulating since 1975 that the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair, a widely known, self-proclaimed atheist, proposed the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) consider limiting or banning religious programming.
These rumors are untrue. In December 1974, Jeremy D. Lansman and Lorenzo W. Milam filed a petition (RM-2493) asking the FCC to inquire into the operating practices of stations licensed to religious organizations, and not to grant any new licenses for new noncommercial educational broadcast stations until the inquiry had been completed. The FCC denied this petition on August 1, 1975. Ms. O'Hair was not a sponsor of this petition.
Since that time, the FCC has received mail and telephone calls claiming that Ms. O'Hair started the petition and that the petition asked for an end to religious programs on radio and television. These rumors are false. The FCC has responded to numerous inquiries about these rumors and advised the public they are not true. There is no federal law that gives the FCC the authority to prohibit radio and television stations from broadcasting religious programs.

We're all excited for Diablo III, but after news broke of several last minute changes, it's not clear how soon the game will be released. Its spiritual offspring, Torchlight II, doesn't have a release date yet either. But while you're waiting for both you can feast on this interview with Diablo co-creator, Max Schaefer, where he talks about Runic Games and competition between Diablo III and Torchlight II, as well as the latter's attractive $20 price point.
In other conversations, Markus "Notch" Persson talks about what it means to be indie, and why he thinks Mojang still falls under that category. Part of a new breed of independent developer, Notch makes an interesting point about how distribution platforms like the Humble Indie Bundle and Steam have made it "hip to pay for indie games."
But while the indie community is busy pushing the boundaries of gaming with titles like Minecraft and To The Moon, more established franchises are playing it safe and pandering to the simpler gamer in us all. And in a great read you might have missed, Mike Murphy takes the recent set of military shooters to task for failing to make us think, "A major fault of Battlefield 3, every friendly death save one in the game occurs either off-screen or in slow motion. As Spielberg suggests, it is a means to glorify and desensitize the violence in order to make it feel more epic, sensational, which ultimately acts as a betrayal to reality."
On a less serious note, Joe juba looks back at his collection of strategy guides and discusses why some succeeded and how others failed. Guess which game this one was for: "On the pages, you find bare-bones explanations and strategies, and margins are littered with little blue boxes suggesting that if you want to know more, you know visit PlayOnline. Instead of a strategy guide, Square should have just sold a note that said 'Thanks, sucker! Go online for all the answers!'"
And finally, Nathan Grayson takes a step back from everything Skyrim did right to look at a few things it did wrong. I have my own issues with the game (for instance its insistence on dry dialogue despite the emphasis on exploration over narrative), but there are a few Grayson mentions that I hadn't yet realized. Chief among these is that "There are no consequences," like, as Grayson writes, "when you attempt to turn an innocent Argonian into a handbag or rob a blind man, well, blind, guilt's noticeably absent from the equation because Skyrim's absolutely terrible at offering tangible consequences for your misdeeds."
And that's all for today. If anyone finds these links interesting let me know! I'm constantly looking for feedback and finding out what people like, or don't like, is always worthwhile. If people find these lists useful I'll start doing them more regularly and perhaps even expand them from 5 items to 10.
Happy Hump Day everyone.

Montana Moving to New High School Equivalency Exam in January
Tuesday, November 19, 2013
By Allyson Hagen
Montana Moving to New High School Equivalency Exam
Last Date for GED Testing in Montana is December 21
Helena, MT – In March of this year, the Board of Public Education supported a recommendation from Superintendent Juneau to enter into a contract with Educational Testing Service (ETS) to develop a new Montana High School Equivalency Exam, HiSET, to replace the GED test. December 21, 2013, will be the last day for GED testing in Montana as the state moves to the new HiSET exam. Beginning January 2, 2014, test takers will be able to combine individual GED subject test scores from 2002 to 2013 with HiSET scores if they are unable to complete all five sections of the GED test in 2013. Test takers should contact the testing centers nearest them to find out the last testing date in their area for the GED.
"Montanans who are looking to better their economic circumstances with a high school equivalency diploma are going to have a high quality, affordable option with the new HiSET exam," said Superintendent Juneau. "We want to make this transition as smooth as possible for test takers, which is why it was important to allow them to combine their completed portions of the GED with the new HiSET exam."
In March 2011, GEDTS announced that the new GED test available in 2014 would cost $120 and would only be computer-based. Any retakes of the exam would cost $24. Montanans currently pay $55 to take the GED exam and $7-$14 to retake portions of the exam.
In response, the Office of Public Instruction brought together a panel of experts from across the state to review proposals from three different vendors. These experts represented Adult Basic Education programs, Job Corps, GED examiners, Dept. of Labor, Dept. of Corrections and higher education. The panel also included a member of the Board of Public Education. The panel of experts recommended to Superintendent Juneau that Montana move forward with a contract with ETS.
ETS's HiSET exam will cost $50, and up to two retests in the same calendar year are included at no additional cost. Additionally, ETS will offer both a computer-based exam and a paper and pencil exam and allow the test to be administered at existing testing locations, ensuring a smooth transition to the new exam.
In addition to Montana, eight other states have made the decision to adopt the HiSET: Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Tennessee and Wyoming.
Test takers can find Montana-specific information, test preparation materials and practice tests and schedule an appointment at: http://hiset.ets.org.

Skylight presents intimate take on 'Porgy & Bess'

Nine years later, it made a now-legendary Broadway debut as "Porgy and Bess." »Read Full Article(1)

It's a long commute for some of the men who harvest crops for a local company.
Vieth Enterprises, which also is a trucking company, has up to 25 employees, depending on the season. During harvest time, about one third are from South Africa. Another third come from the Amarillo area, and the rest are from surrounding states.
Several factors led the company to hunt overseas for help. It's hot, dirty work with long hours and months away from home, said Mike Vieth, a partner in the business.
"They say you have to make hay while the sun shines, and it's the same thing in harvesting," Vieth said. "It's seven days a week."
Since 2001, they've been bringing workers from South Africa, providing airfare to the United States and back.
"Turnover was huge," Vieth said. "There were harvesters going out of business because they couldn't find help."
The timing was good because South Africa faces mass unemployment.
"They also make seven times what they do at home," Vieth said.
Ernest Devilliers drove a combine Wednesday in his first U.S. harvest season, gliding with three others through wheat at 34th Avenue and Eastern Street in a choreographed dance of teamwork.
"I'm doing it to save money," he said. "It pays better, but the living expenses can be more than at home. But we get food and beds."
The harvest season starts in late May around Crowell and Electra. Crews gradually move north into Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska and finish in Montana, said Ken Vieth, whose sons Mike and Mark run the business. He also fills in as a part-time combine driver.
"Then they hightail it back here about the first of September to do one of our most rewarding jobs - harvesting food corn (for human consumption) near Springlake," he said.
The crews typically cut 65,000 acres of wheat, up to 25,000 acres of grain sorghum, 17,000 acres of corn, 2,000 acres of peas and 1,000 acres of barley. There are also several thousand acres of cotton to harvest in late October or November.
The company uses a broker to connect with some of its South African workers, who apply in November or December for federal work permits and visas. They also get help from word of mouth.
"A lot come for the adventure of it," said Mike Vieth. "We'll have two or three guys from the year before bring their friends."

Griping About Car Insurance
May 12, 1988
By Ginny Wiegand, Inquirer Staff Writer
On the way up to Harrisburg on the bus Tuesday morning, the Lawncrest seven had plenty of time to stew over Philadelphia's high car insurance rates. They had their protest signs ready, mounted on wooden poles, and, as Lawncrest Community Association president Phil Grutzmacher described it at the association's meeting back home that night, "You can really get caught up in this thing. " The seven association members joined about 200 other Philadelphians for a rally at the Capitol to demand cheaper auto-insurance rates and to lobby for reform of the insurance industry.
Shop For Savings On Car Insurance
September 13, 1989
By Rich Heidorn Jr., Inquirer Staff Writer
South Jersey motorists could save 30 percent or more by shopping around for their car insurance, according to a rate comparison released Aug. 21 by the New Jersey Insurance Department. "Competition works only if people shop around," said Patrick Breslin, public affairs director for the department, which surveyed 78 companies that insure virtually all of the state's drivers. "Competition will never work if people just go to the JUA (Joint Underwriting Association). " The survey shows that a married couple in their 40s, living in Cherry Hill and driving a 1987 Ford Taurus, pay an average premium of $904 (including JUA surcharges and using the "verbal" threshold limiting lawsuits)
Candidate: Slash Car Insurance
August 27, 1997
By David E. Wilson, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
State Senate candidate Marie Hall, using the Marlton Circle as her backdrop, yesterday called for an immediate 15 percent reduction in auto insurance rates and the appointment of a state insurance-fraud prosecutor. Hall, a Democrat from Medford Lakes, is seeking to represent the Eighth District. She took the opportunity to needle the Republican incumbent, Martha Bark, for her lack of leadership on the issue. "I am here today at the busiest intersection in the Eighth District to say, 'Yes, Martha, this is a problem,' " Hall said, referring to a comment by Bark that auto insurance has been a problem for 20 years and didn't require a rushed solution.
Whitman Blasts Mcgreevey On Car Insurance
August 27, 1997
By Tom Turcol, INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
In a one-two punch that essentially opens the fall campaign, Gov. Whitman and New Jersey Republicans went on the air last night with separate commercials holding the Democrats and their gubernatorial candidate, James E. McGreevey, responsible for the state's high car-insurance rates. McGreevey, who has made car insurance the top issue in his bid to unseat Whitman, countered that the governor and her party were trying to shift the blame for their failure to do anything about the problem.
Voting Set On Cut In Car Insurance
August 24, 1989
By Chris Conway, Inquirer Trenton Bureau
Drivers fed up with New Jersey's high auto-insurance rates will get a chance to vent their feelings at the ballot box in the fall in nonbinding referendums in every county calling for a 20 percent rate rollback. Mercer County on Tuesday night became the last of the state's 21 counties to agree to place the referendum on its November ballot, according to supporters of the referendum effort. And yesterday, a Mercer County Superior Court judge upheld the action by Mercer's Board of Freeholders and rejected arguments by the county counsel that the referendum would be illegal.
Kean Willing To Compromise On Car Insurance
July 21, 1988
By Laurie Hollman, Inquirer Trenton Bureau
On the eve of what could be yet another increase in automobile insurance costs, Gov. Kean said yesterday that to reduce rates, he would be willing to agree to a reform package that does not include all the changes he has sought. One such legislative package is now on the governor's desk, the unfinished product of negotiations between key lawmakers who say they can save motorists up to $300 a car in annual costs. Further negotiations are expected. Though Kean refused at a news conference to commit himself absolutely to the compromise, he called it "a good bill . . . even though it's not everything I want," and promised to act on it early next week.
Scofflaws Keep Car Insurance Costly
November 26, 1996
One of the hidden taxes for Philadelphians may finally come down a bit - if the insurance companies do the right thing. The hidden tax is your auto insurance. Philadelphia has some of the highest rates in the region - three times higher than the statewide average. A four-figure insurance bill that rivals the cost of a used car is common for city drivers. Reasons vary for the whopping bills. One reason is that Philadelphians have an usually hefty appetite for suing one another after a traffic accident, driving rates up. Another culprit: the large number of uninsured drivers on the road.
The Battle To Cut Car Insurance In Penna.
February 11, 1990
By Jodi Enda, Inquirer Harrisburg Bureau
They met in secret at all hours of the day and night, even on weekends, squirreling themselves away, hiding from the spotlight and from the creatures who lurked outside. They worked vigorously, their intensity heightened by public pressure and by the importance of their mission. When they emerged from hiding, they revealed the newest plan to tackle one of the largest crises facing the state - and Philadelphia: sky-high auto- insurance rates. In past years, this handful of men meeting behind closed doors would have been lobbyists, working to craft insurance legislation that would profit special-interest groups.
Car Insurance Crackdown Time To Put Reform On Overdrive
April 9, 2003
CONSIDER this a call to arms. Get your arms (and legs) down to City Council this morning at 10 for an important hearing on car insurance rates. This is the next big battle worth fighting in the city. We consider it the "other" tax. The one that's not officially a tax, but eats a big enough hole in Philadelphians' wallets to have as big a detrimental impact as a high city wage tax. It's part of the unholy three items - the schools and the wage tax are the other two - that make push come to shove and sends many people to the suburbs.
New Car-insurance Laws: Will They Really Help?
December 18, 1988
By Laurie Hollman, Inquirer Trenton Bureau
For years, state lawmakers talked about car insurance in New Jersey. They studied it, fought about it, almost compromised over it, then fought about it some more - until finally this fall, when, goaded by irate motorists and their own impending sense of crisis, lawmakers managed to pass some bills aimed at reducing the cost. Now, Rita Knapp is here to tell you, they haven't done enough. Forget the new laws, which do not go into effect until January. Knapp is convinced that they are not going to help her family much.

Travel Troubleshooter: Driver disputes $428 Hertz damage claim
May 30, 2016
Q: I am writing to you today regarding a damage claim I have received from Hertz. I rented a car from the Maui Airport Hertz location this year. I did not do an initial walkthrough with an agent to check for damage. Upon my return, I circled the car with a Hertz attendant and returned it in perfect form, and off I went. Three weeks later, I received a call from Hertz claiming that there was front bumper damage and I would be charged $428. This is completely absurd. I absolutely did not damage the car, and returned it in perfect condition.
Priceless advice for your first job

LOOKING BACK, what do you wish someone had told you before you sat in the human resources department at your first real-world job and faced that pile of paperwork? I was fortunate. Before I started working full-time as a reporter, my grandmother Big Mama passed along - well, more like drilled into me - three money lessons. They laid the groundwork for a lifetime of financial security. For college grads and other young folk entering the workforce, here's her priceless advice. * Spread your money around . Big Mama told me to get four banking accounts at two different institutions.
Note to his indulgent parents: He's all grown up; time to cut the cord
February 9, 2016
DEAR ABBY: Nine years ago, I married a man who has a son from a previous marriage. "Eli" is now 26 and lives "on his own. " While he may live under a different roof than his parents, they support him financially. My husband and I pay Eli's car insurance, cellphone bill, toll tag, life insurance policy and whatever other things come up (passport, gym membership). Eli's mom assists with all of his utility bills, in addition to depositing money in his account monthly. They even turned over Eli's 529 tuition account to him. I have tried explaining to my husband that they are enabling Eli, and the umbilical cord should have been cut years ago. Eli has never earned more than $12,000 a year and has no desire to try because he has an endless flow of financial support.

DEAR ABBY: I recently graduated from college and moved in with my fiance. My parents have assumed most of the cost of our upcoming wedding after insisting we have a big, formal one. I'm still on their cellphone plan, and car and health insurance policies. I do not agree with my parents' religious or political views. However, my mother regularly sends me texts criticizing me for responding to family members' negative comments about my very general and inoffensive status updates. She says she's "disappointed," and then she and Dad threaten to not pay for the wedding.
Did Hertz upgrade him to a broken SUV?
January 3, 2016
Question : I recently reserved a midsize rental car in Shannon, Ireland, for myself, my wife, and another couple through Hertz. At the airport, a Hertz representative upgraded us to an SUV, which sounded bigger, but was not. We were given the keys to an Opel Mokka, which was so small we could not fit our bags into it without putting two of them on our laps. I have driven stick-shift cars for 53 years, but when I started driving this car, I had trouble getting it into gear. I must say I was a bit frazzled, as the car was so small and there were four of us in it. I did get it going, but noticed a smell coming from the car right away, so I drove it around the airport block back to Hertz.
A look at the factors that determine your auto insurance rate
December 28, 2015
By Tom Moor, ANGIE'S LIST
Do you ever wonder about all the factors that go into how much you pay for car insurance? The answer isn't as simple as it might seem. There are dozens of factors that go into how much drivers pay for auto insurance. "Auto insurance used to be so easy," said Ken Henry, owner of Henry Insurance Agency in Cincinnati. "All you needed to know was someone's age, accidents or tickets and city or county. If your neighbor had the same car, was your age with a similar driving record, and was with the same insurance company, you both got the same rate.
Pa. Senate gives Uber, Lyft a push
November 26, 2015
By Chris Palmer, Inquirer Harrisburg Bureau
HARRISBURG - Uber and Lyft drove toward legal status in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. On its final voting day before a Thanksgiving break, the Senate overwhelmingly approved a bill that creates provisions to permanently legalize the ride-sharing services. The companies, which connect riders and drivers through mobile apps, currently operate on temporary licenses throughout most of the state. In Philadelphia, both offer service despite lacking the required licenses. The bill would require ride-sharing companies to perform background checks for all potential drivers, mandate a certain level of car insurance, keep records of the vehicles used by all drivers, and implement a "zero-tolerance" policy for drug and alcohol use by drivers on the job, among other provisions.
Don't let rental-car snafus wreck your vacation
July 17, 2015
LIKE MANY rental-car customers, my husband and I declined the expensive insurance offered at the counter. We knew we were covered through our auto-insurance carrier. Additionally, the credit card we use covers rental cars. In my mind, if we did get into an accident, I would just use the coverage offered by the credit-card company. But during our recent vacation, we came out one morning to climb into our Town and Country minivan and found that the bumper had been hit. Or so we thought.
Gay man's lack of success makes dating a tough thing
June 17, 2015
D EAR ABBY: I'm a 28-year-old gay man who recently graduated with a liberal-arts degree. I always have struggled to support myself. I'm often discouraged because of professional and personal mistakes, which leads me to be pessimistic about my future. I want to date. I know love isn't going to be the save-all, but it would be nice to hang out with someone from time to time. My problem is, in the past men have been critical of my lack of success. They are often unimpressed with me. Successful men won't date me. Yet I feel intellectually incompatible with the blue-collar guys I've been with.
We're living in a revolution
June 10, 2015
THIS WEEK CNN rolls out a documentary on the '70s, following its remembrance of the '60s, a decade regarded as the most revolutionary in American history, aside from the Revolution itself. Wrong. The most revolutionary period in American history is now . The '60s brought a sea of changes to music, movies, fashion and to what had been largely a patriarchal society. (Think "Mad Men. ") It was the beginning of feminism and an attempt to dismantle institutionalized and discriminatory American laws and customs.

Watch: 6 Clips That Show the Ultimate Warrior's Unforgettable Charisma
Originally posted 04/09/2014 12:00PM
Legendary professional wrestler the Ultimate Warrior (né James Brian Hellwig, though he legally changed his name to Warrior in 1993) died April 8 at the age of 54.
Though Warrior's public image was occasionally marred by controversial statements, there's no denying that he was one of professional wrestling's true legends, an outsize figure who became one of the sport's defining superstars.
For proof of this, look no further than the following six clips, which offer an idea of both Warrior's range of influence during his heyday (appearing with Arsenio Hall and Phil Collins) and his unique brand of extraordinarily intense charisma.

"I was terrified of losing friends, losing my job, just everything," the World Wrestling Entertainment star, 29, exclusively tells PEOPLE in the latest issue. "I had no idea what would happen if I came out."
But Young's fears were put to rest on Aug. 14 after he announced his sexual orientation – a revelation he had shared with close family and friends two years ago – to a reporter with a camera who approached him at Los Angeles International Airport.

Installing and exploring Xfce 4.2
If you're ready for life without KDE or Gnome, maybe it is time to try Xfce, a lean, fast, and eye-catching desktop with a large collections of tools.
In January of this year, the Xfce project released version 4.2 of the Xfce desktop (see Figure 1). Like most alternative desktops, the Xfce desktop is faster and easier on resources than sprawling systems like Gnome and KDE. But Xfce is far more advanced than many of the alternatives. The Xfce 4.2 desktop, which is compliant with Freedesktop specifications, provides several useful management utilities, a development framework for building applications, and support for more than 40 languages. Xfce 4.2 offers a unique blend of features and performance that make it an ideal alternative for many users who want to scale down from Gnome or KDE.

Trump embraces America First, gives the republic a chance to survive and its foes apoplexy

Trump's 27 April 2016 speech on foreign policy is not perfect; indeed, parts of it merit strong criticism. But Trump has now said to the American people what no one, save Pat Buchanan and Ron Paul, has been willing to say since 1945. That is, the U.S. government exists for only two reasons: (a) to […]

WHEN MARTIN Luther King High head football coach Ed Dunn met with school administrators in preparation for the merger with now-closed Germantown High, he had something specific in mind.
"They were asking us, 'What were our goals for the season and did we think we could win?' And I flat-out told them we could win a championship, and that was our goal from Day 1. So, the one thing I would take away from all this is: Have an audacious goal and don't be afraid to dream big."

In Part I 5 women produced 50 sentences consisting of an ambiguous carrier phrase followed by a unique target word. These sentences were spoken in three environments: quiet, wide band noise (WBN), and meaningful multi-talker babble (MMB). The WBN and MMB competitors were presented through insert earphones at 80 dB SPL. For each talker, the mean vocal level, long-term average speech spectra, and mean word duration were calculated for the 50 target words produced in each speaking environment. Compared to quiet, the vocal levels produced in WBN and MMB increased an average of 14.5 dB. The increase in vocal level was characterized by increased spectral energy in the high frequencies. Word duration also increased an average of 77 ms in WBN and MMB relative to the quiet condition. In Part II, the sentences produced by one of the 5 talkers were presented to 30 adults in the presence of multi-talker babble under two conditions. Recognition was evaluated for each condition. In the first condition, the sentences produced in quiet and in noise were presented at equal signal-to-noise ratios (SNRE). This served to remove the vocal level differences between the speech samples. In the second condition, the vocal level differences were preserved (SNRP). For the SNRE condition, recognition of the speech produced in WBN and MMB was on average 15% higher than that for the speech produced in quiet. For the SNRP condition, recognition increased an average of 69% for these same speech samples relative to speech produced in quiet. In general, correlational analyses failed to show a direct relation between the acoustic properties measured in Part I and the recognition measures in Part II.
