What happened in Minot isn't an isolated incident. A similar event took
place in January in Graniteville, South Carolina, where Clear Channel
operates WBBQ, another designated emergency announcement station. After
a train derailment caused a chlorine spill that put hundreds of people
in danger, the EAS failed on the first attempt. But officials had no way
of knowing that, because no one at WBBQ answered their calls.

Vital Signs: TV Watching: Dangerous to Your Health, Wealth and Moral Balance
"These commercials are disturbing on two levels. They graphically illustrate how desensitized U.S. society has become to what a generation ago would have been completely unacceptable. But they are also an example of one of the mechanisms of desensitization which will facilitate the deterioration of societal values. Advertisers are conditioning us and our children to laugh at promiscuity and infidelity and to think of them as common occurrences that are no big deal."

Lights, cameras, recession 7/10/2008
As a way of proving the fragility of the American mind, pundits like to point out that millions among us believe the 1969 moon landing was actually filmed in a Houston television studio.
Truth be told, I have never met a one of these millions. In fact, I suspect that they exist only in the imagination of our intellectual betters.
On the other hand, if I heard that the stories we see on TV about economic issues were all confabulated in a Houston television studio, I might count myself among the believers.

Best Free "Windows Media Player" Replacement | Gizmo's Tech Support Alert
"My personal favorite is Media Player Classic. Available for Windows (95 through Vista), MPC looks like the old Windows Media Player v6.4, but that's where the similarity ends. Under the hood, this program packs a lot of features, including codecs for viewing DVD discs, MPEG1, MPEG2, and MPEG 4 video files, MP3 and Ogg files. MPC can also use the QuickTime and the RealPlayer architectures (if installed on the computer) to play their native files. If you really want to extend MPC's functionality while avoiding the installation of RealPlayer, WinAmp and Quicktime, download ffdshow, Real Alternative, QuickTime Alternative and WinAmp Alternative packages. They will make sure there will be almost nothing you won't be able to play. MPC is the only product reviewed here that requires no installation on your PC. This means that it can be run from your USB flash drive as well as your hard drive. (Note: there is some dispute over the legality of Real Alternative and QuickTime Alternative codec packs. ffdshow is opensource, completely legal, and should cover almost all of your needs.)"
