From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. A rumor or rumour (see spelling differences), is often viewed as "an unverified account or explanation of events circulating from person to person and pertaining to an object, event, or issue in public concern" (33) However, a review of the research on rumor conducted by Pendleton in 1998 found that research across sociology, psychology, and communication studies had widely varying definitions of rumor. Thus, rumor is a concept that lacks a particular definition in the social sciences. But most theories agree that rumor involves some kind of a statement whose veracity is not quickly or ever confirmed. In addition, some scholars have identified rumor as a subset of propaganda, the latter another notoriously difficult concept to define. A pioneer of propaganda studies, Harold Lasswell defined propaganda in 1927 as referring "solely to the control of opinion by significant symbols, or, to speak more concretely and less accurately, by stories, rumors, reports, pictures, and other forms of social communication" (1927:9). Rumors are also often discussed with regard to "misinformation" and "disinformation" (the former often seen as simply false and the latter seen as deliberately false, though usually from a government source given to the media or a foreign government). Rumors thus have often been viewed as particular forms of other communication concepts. Psychology of Rumor (1902)French and German social science research on rumor locates the modern scholarly definition of it the pioneering work of the German Louis William Stern in 1902. Stern experimented on rumor involving a "chain of subjects" who passed a story from "mouth to ear" without the right to repeat or explain it. He found that the story was shortened and changed by the time it reached the end of the chain. His student was another pioneer in the field, Gordon Allport. From Wikipedia under the

Answered by luigi17360 - Fri Jul 25 01:59:46 2008 How do I use an MP3 from my SD card as a ringer on an LG 260/Rumor cellphone?
Q. The LG 260/Rumor allows you to play MP3 (among other media formats) from a memory card, but there is no obvious way to use them as a ringer/alert. Is there a way to do this? Is it a matter of creating the proper subdirectory within the DCIM directory? Asked by AaronV - Sun Feb 15 03:00:55 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. I have the same problem here. After researching the topic, I was told that it all depends on your carrier. In Canada, Bell and Virgin have disabled the function making it impossible to do.
