A new very violent, very graphic PSA against texting while driving is creating a buzz on the Internet.
The PSA was created in Great Britain and shows very graphically what could happen if teens are driving and texting. It shows teen girls texting and then crashing into a car. And it only gets worse from there. The girls' car is hit by another car and then other cars fatally crash into the ones behind them.
I have to warn you before you watch this, it is VERY UPSETTING! I literally felt like I was going to throw up after watching it. They even show a baby dead. (I personally wouldn't watch it if I were pregnant or just had a baby – it's that upsetting!)
Kansas City.Com reports that the clip that landed on You Tube is part of a 30-minute video that was made to be shown to students in South Wales.
Another big point I think this video illustrates is wear your darn seatbelt — even in the back seat!
So my questions are:
A. What do you think of the video? Is it too violent? Is it too graphic? Do we need to see the dead baby?
B. Would you show this clip to your teen?
C. Do you think it would make them think before driving and texting?
D. Would you be OK with a school showing it to your teen? (I would think you would have to sign a permission slip for them to show this at school.) We did watch a D.A.R.E. or MADD movie in high school about drunk driving. I remember it being pretty scary, but I don't remember it being this graphic.

Heck, yes, I would show it to them. As a matter of fact, I just sent them a copy of it, and my husband to, as well as a couple of other young people that I know and love, and told them to watch it, promise me they would stop texting — and I would promise to stop texting, too. I'm as guilty as they are, but that's that — cold turkey for me. I knew it was wrong, but this video really drove it home.
What is TOO graphic? This is what happens when you drive stupid. People die. I'd rather them see it in a film, than have them witness it first-person. I personally don't think it's any more violent than those movies they showed us in driver's ed in the 1970's — pictures of cars wrapped around trees, decapitated bodies, blood all over the place, etc., etc. We saw about a dozen of them — it was when driver's ed was still taught as part of P.E. for 10th graders, and the semester usually ended with "hell week", where the instructors showed these films every day. It was supposed to make you think — and for the most part, it did, to the extent that teenagers think that it could happen to anyone but them. It's just live action instead of a lot of still shots of accident scenes. No, I don't have a problem with it at all. Kids (and sometimes adults!) need to undersand that actions can have unintended consequences.

I have two tweens so I'm a few years away. But yes, I would show it. I would rather them see an unsettling video than experience the consequences of a serious car crash. Most teenagers simply underestimate what an enormous responsibility it is to drive. Personally I never wore a seatbelt until a very powerful video was shown to us at school. Visuals can capture the attention in a way talking just cannot.

Ok, to answer your questions first:
A. Extremely violent, and as much as the dead baby made me sick, it might be what a teen needs to get the message.
B. I would, but my partner's best friend was killed most likely being on her phone driving.
C. I think there are some that will never get the message unless something horrible happens to them. Others might think twice, and that would be a good thing.
D. I would be ok with a school showing it, but I most definitely think there would have to be permission slips. While I would be ok, I know there would be may parents who would not.
I received this video from my 15 yr old niece who's mother sent it to her and her twin sister. I think the one that sent it to me took the message to heart….the other….is probably more of a "that wouldn't happen to me" kind of girl. I hope I'm wrong. I know adults who do this and need to see this video too. I used to be one who talked on my phone all the time while driving….it was when I'd catch up with family and friends. After meeting my partner and hearing what happened to her best friend, I've slowly changed that habit. I still slip on occasion, but this film will help me remember to put the dang phone down.
August 26th, 2009
11:28 am
There is a real simple solution to this. Just don't buy your teen a texting phone.
August 26th, 2009
11:32 am
Yes…I would absolutely show this to my oldest. Accidents happen….and I would stress to her the part they aren't showing. The part where this young lady will likely be getting her college education in jail.
August 26th, 2009
11:34 am
I watched the video and yes, it is disturbing but I would show it to my son. He isn't driving yet (13 – will be 14 in Nov), but he has already started learning to drive. To answer the questions:
A. It was violent, but that is reality. Sometimes, teens need that "in your face" type to get the message.
B. Yes, I would show it to my teen.
C. Yes, I think it would help bring the message home. Teenagers don't think of themselves as mortal sometimes. We didn't as teens, you just thought you would live forever and unfortunately, every child doesn't make it out of his/her teenage years.
D. I wouldn't have a problem with them seeing it as school as long as I was informed first.
To take it one step further, our school district has shown bus crashes to the kids to stress to them the importance of their behavior on the bus and how the bus driver cannot be distracted for a second for inappropriate behavior. My son really talked about the tapes so I think it did resonate with him.

there is no dead baby in that video
August 26th, 2009
11:42 am
jellybean, I think Theresa was referring to the baby that wasn't moving, crying, or blinking, which seems abnormal in the circumstances. . Obviously, it's a PSA, so NO ONE died in the making of this movie, but the staring baby was a bit unsettling.
August 26th, 2009
11:43 am
jellybean….if you listen to the audio, you can hear them saying they can't get or hear a heartbeat when they are examining the baby
August 26th, 2009
11:50 am
EVERY teenager needs to see this video!!!!
Every idiot who texts while driving needs to see this Video.
I personally do not text while driving. It's just too dangerous. I tried it when I first got my new phone, but it's just impossible to pay attention to the road and the other idiot drivers who think they can text and drive.
Seriously put the damn phone down while driving. NOTHING is as important as your life, or the lives of your fellow drivers and passengers.
I mean come on, common sense people…..
August 26th, 2009
11:58 am
Show it. When I took drivers' ed in high school, we were shown material more gory than this. It got everyone's attention, and I remember it to this day.
August 26th, 2009
12:09 pm
Definitely show it. It *is* graphic, but I think teens need to see consequences on a very personal level for them to register. I would show it, or something similar to my son when he's driving age. I hope it would make him and at least a few others think twice. The video would be very appropriate in a school setting in a lesson about life choices. I think a perission slip would be needed. I would be in favor of kids seeing it, but would like a heads-up in order to reinforce the lesson at home and help my child process it.
August 26th, 2009
12:11 pm
Wow, that was very disturbing, yes, I know it is not real but it is very realistic and quite true to reality. Frankly I feel like crying right now.
August 26th, 2009
12:17 pm
As an ER nurse, this is all in a day's work. People just don't think it can happen to them. I see it all the time. I think this video is graphic, scary, but all too real, and should be required viewing. It isn't just teens, but they are the most inexperienced drivers on the road, and they just don't think.
August 26th, 2009
12:24 pm
That was seriously sickening.
I do not text while driving, however, I have been known to answer the phone when it rings. I will stop doing that compltely.
I make that pledge. I will never use my cell phone in my car again, period. In fact, I will now put it in my brief case in the back seat.
But nothing makes you completely safe. even if you are a good driver, some other person can kill you.
August 26th, 2009
12:25 pm
This sounds akin to the Scared Sober presentations of the 1980's. The carnage of irresponsible behavior while driving, whether drinking or texting, should be shown to teens. It probably wouldn't hurt to show it to older drivers who are also foolish enough to engage is these behaviors as well.
August 26th, 2009
12:26 pm
i do think it should be shown to everybody. unfortunately teens think they are invinsible and that it would never happen to them.
August 26th, 2009
12:27 pm
That is a VERY well-done production. While I think the driving age should be raised to 18 and it should be a LOT more difficult and expensive to get a drivers license in this country, I think the current (inadequate) "driver's ed" curriculum should include videos like this to show the result of how STUPID texting/calling while driving is.
Now that I think about it, that should be required watching for EVERYBODY young and old before being allowed to renew their license. I just got rear-ended this morning by a guy on the phone. Not happy.
August 26th, 2009
12:29 pm
What happened to the video? There is no link.
August 26th, 2009
12:29 pm
Maybe I'm a product of the TV generation where we are becoming immune to the violence on TV but I don't think that this video is that "disturbing." Is is extremely obvious that it is a manufactured video so, first, while the message is a good one let's not try to act like this is real car accident footage or real, dead babies. Let your teenagers watch it.
Second, if you are still questioning whether or not to show this to your teenager, have you parents ever thought that with all the media coverage of this video over the past couple of days, that any internet-savvy teenager has probably already seen this or will see it in the near future? What do you think teenagers do on the internet? Play solitaire with other kids? Think about it!
Third, while this is kind of reiterating the first point I made, the fact that this is "manufactured footage" for lack of a better term, takes away from the shock value and will likely make kids think twice about texting while driving but probably won't make most of them stop doing it if they already do. No matter how many videos you show them there is still the idea that it won't happen to them. Let them watch. It will help, but it won't save the world.
August 26th, 2009
12:32 pm
Damn straight I would show it. AND, I have no problem with anyone else showing it to my kids. Sorry, but we need a reality check here. The kids of today have gotten so into "Never happen to me because I know what I'm doing". Well, HELLO…it can and often does.
August 26th, 2009
12:33 pm
Absolutely show it to teens and adults. My stepdaughter likes to text at red lights, and I have grabbed the phone from her for doing this. She needs to get the message. Hopefully this video will do it.
August 26th, 2009
12:34 pm
It's basically the visually-graphic (and updated for technology) version of the old "Dear Abby" column, "Please, God, I'm Only Seventeen!", which I have already shown to my permit-carrying 15-yr-old son.
I would have no problem showing him this video.
August 26th, 2009
12:34 pm
I made my girlfriend sit and watch with her 17 and 19 year old while I was on the phone listening. The sheer silence as they watched told me it was effective. Teens are text addicts!!!!! The 19YO can't do anything for more than 5 minutes without stopping to text someone…crazy!!! Yesterday my celly stayed in the holster ALL THE WAY HOME!! I was enlightened. No one and nothing is that important, and texting while driving is an invitation to a casket. Very moving. Very effective. It should be shown right before a teen takes the driving test…it should be a mandatory requirement. Crash scenes from real fatal accidents could be a bonus reinforcement if the video is not enough.
August 26th, 2009
12:38 pm
Our teenagers are not allowed to have phones that text and we have blocked incoming texts on their phones as well. If they need to communicate with their friends, they can call or be called. If they decide to buy a phone that texts, it will be with their own money and they will also have to have a cellphone account in their own name and pay for that as well.
Am I a "mean and hateful" parent? Too strict? Maybe so, but teens that drive already have enough to distract them in the car, their friends, the CD player, MP3 player, radio, GPS Nav system, etc., etc. Any kid of mine who is ever caught texting or talking on a cell phone while driving, will surrender their keys and their driver's license until age 18, period, no second chances and no do-overs.
August 26th, 2009
12:41 pm
I don't have any kids, yet, but I honestly believe that as disturbing as it is that people from all over the world need to see this kind of PSA. Its better to see videos like this rather than experiencing it first hand. It may be disturbing but it is reality and we can't hide gory and disturbing stuff like this from kids and make them believe that our world is perfect and nothing bad like this can happen.
August 26th, 2009
12:42 pm
I read all of Theresa's comments, including the one about the baby. Then I watched the video.
It isn't too graphic. It's what teens and adults all need to see. About a year ago, we had two teen girls driving their cars on a 2 lane road just a couple miles from me. They were goofing around, and one was trying to pass the other on a blind hill. She swerved when she saw an oncoming car. She overcompensated and ended up in the woods. She died. The oncoming car was her friend's father who witnessed the entire wreck and death of his daughter's friend. They were just fooling around a little bit on a road both girls knew well – and one died.
Part of me wants to say the baby is too much, but another part of me says no, it's not. As I type this, my 10 mo. precious little girl is sitting in my lap. I cried. This could happen to her, and seeing that tiny baby motionless in the carseat hit home for me – HARD. I don't text and drive, and rarely talk on the phone (I use a wireless headset) while driving. I don't think I'll be doing even the headset anymore. No more phone while driving.
Imagine killing all those people, orphaning that little girl, killing that little baby, and having to live with that for the rest of your life. And why? Because you let yourself be distracted while driving. That is a lifetime nightmare.
I do think teens need to see it and schools need to show it. I guess as a parent, I'd like to see the video before allowing my teen to see it. However, I do think teens need to see it and I think adults need to see it too.

Bikerchick, you aren't mean or hateful its better for them to be temporarily mad at you than to never get to see them, again.
August 26th, 2009
12:46 pm
Every driver needs to watch this video. I don't have a teen, and I don't use my cell phone while driving, but I still appreciate this graphic reminder to minimize distractions in the car. Thanks to this, I'm going to be a little more mindful the next time I'm on the road.
August 26th, 2009

I am a high school teacher, and I was forwarded the link to the PSA yesterday. I watched it last night, and today in class, I asked my students if they had seen it. Some had, some had not; for those who had not, I suggested that they check it out at home tonight. Several asked me to show it in class, and while I didn't feel comfortable doing so without parental permission, I surely WANTED to show it to them! I have been guilty of texting on occastion while driving, and I am NOT proud to say this, with my two baby girls in the car. After seeing this, I realize what a stupid mistake that is, and I will not be doing it again. I hope my students will watch and say the same thing!
August 26th, 2009
12:53 pm
What about "James" the person they were texting? Have you thought about his feelings? He is sitting there waiting for a return text from his girlfriend only to get more angry by the minute that she did not return the text. He probably thinks she does not want to be his friend anymore. Now he feels stood up. That is the true tragedy in all of this!
August 26th, 2009
12:54 pm
Yes, my daughter will see this tonight. She is about to get her driver's license and this will hopefully send her a strong message. She is very conservative and cautious about driving as she witnessed a neighbor run over our little schnauzer 2 feet from the curb in front of our house. Animals are NOT the same as children but this REALLY impacted her. We saw a dead deer on the way to school yesterday and she was very upset.

I work for Fire Rescue here in the metro Atlanta area. In fact we are the largest FireRescue in Georgia. We see this scene EVERY day. The only thing lacking in this PSA is that while driving and texting they did not show the teens drinking or smoking pot. Well over half of the injury accidents we run involve drinking or drugs…and yes that includes little Billy and Sally. Show this PSA to your children…then show it to them again. I have been a medic for over 25 years and nobody ever gets used to scenes like is shown here. We see them every day and it is your children that we are trying to save. Show them….save them. Please.

While I was in highschool, 4 of my classmates were killed in accidents. 2 were drunk. One had a flat tire and over corrected and had no seat belt. One hydroplaned while passing a semi in the rain.
There are lots of ways to be killed in a car. The friend who died while not wearing a seatbelt is still in my mind every time I "click it".
I never drive without my seat belt.
August 26th, 2009
1:02 pm
I say show it to your kids. Also it should be shown in school. Who needs permission? Yes, some parents would complain, but they're the ones who also would permit their kids to text while driving, claiming that "I'm not worried about my child being in an accident due to texting while driving. He/She's a safe driver." Well, your "safe driver" just ran a red light. In reality, there's no such thing as a safe driver.
I remember when I was in high school the local County Sheriff's Department showed us slides from a few wrecks that had occurred over previous years. What I wish they had done, and I know some places do it, is take a group of students to a staged "accident" scene, or else take some of them to an actual accident scene. If I had a teenager reaching driving age, if we witnessed an accident due to careless driving, I'd probably pull over and make him/her watch as the scraped the victims' brains up off the street with a shovel. Oh, no…that would traumatize the child for life! Might scare him! Good. Teens need a good scare to remind them they're not indestructable or immortal.
"Joe don't you remember those films they showed us in high school?! Red Asphalt?! Blood on the Highway?!"

Absolutely show it!! Teens and Adults need to see this and understand it takes only a second for a tragedy to happen. Grpahic but REAL!!
August 26th, 2009
1:05 pm
I think it depends on your kid and how serious you think their "texting" problem is.
However, I will tell you this: I'm a person who is on my blackberry while driving too often — and admittedly in front of my kids. I watched that PSA and decided I will never do it again. Not only for my own safety but to set the right example for my kids.
Very powerful.
August 26th, 2009
1:07 pm
I did show the video to my son who is 16 and to my 10 year old daughter. We were hit by someone on their phone 6 years ago and my son is now paralyzed from that accident. It hit very close to home. Yes I am guilty of answering my phone while driving and will not do it anymore.
August 26th, 2009
1:09 pm
If you wouldn't watch this video, how can you stand behind your government's decision to send young men and women into a war zone? Don't you think you should at least be able to confront what your nation's soldiers have to live through in order to protect you!?
August 26th, 2009
1:15 pm
It should be mandatory viewing for every driver!
August 26th, 2009
1:19 pm
Tea, I am not sure I understand the connection you are making.
However, now that I think about it, maybe there should be some really graphic video of actual combat and video of the fallen soldiers shown to those kids who are eager to join. If my kid wanted to join, I'd take him down to the VA hospital and make him talk to vets for a couple of days
Those recruiters rarely share that stuff. They paint rosey pictures for the kids and hard press them.
August 26th, 2009
1:19 pm
I wish every cell phone owning licensed driver in the state of Georgia could see this graphic video.
August 26th, 2009
1:21 pm
@ AJ….I am so sorry….the video did not make me cry but your post did.
In case you do not think your kids are listening….
I told my son last week to be careful ( he is 22) driving on the interstate each morning to class, while he stays with us for a while. He has been at UGA for 4 years and 3 miles from campus or work. I shared a story of a friend whose daughter hydroplaned into the median and was killed, after a torrential downpour.
He came home a week later and said it was pouring rain and that he was driving very carefully. He had remembered what I had told him. I just wanted to hug him…he actually listened.
Life is so precious and accidents are happening all the time. Scary stuff.
August 26th, 2009
1:23 pm
So my questions are:
A. What do you think of the video? Is it too violent? Is it too graphic? Do we need to see the dead baby?
I haven't seen this particular video, but have seen several just like it. Is it too violent? No. Fact: crashes are violent events. If you read a news report about a fatal accident and reporter states something like "the driver was an obvious fatality" it means "what was left of the driver isn't identifiable…hopefully there are dental records…if we can find the teeth."
B. Would you show this clip to your teen?
Being a P.R.I.D.E. instructor my teen has seen all of the extremely gaphic videos I have. If you DON'T show it to your teen you are doing them a true disservice.
C. Do you think it would make them think before driving and texting?
It may make them think before driving and texting for a little while, but they usually eventually revert back to bad habits; that is until someone they know gets hurt or killed by someone texting. They need more than one video. (See answer below.)
D. Would you be OK with a school showing it to your teen? (I would think you would have to sign a permission slip for them to show this at school.) We did watch a D.A.R.E. or MADD movie in high school about drunk driving. I remember it being pretty scary, but I don't remember it being this graphic.
I WANT the schools to show each and every graphic video I have. I want them to bring people in to speak to the class who have been horribly mutilated by car crashes. I want them to play radio traffic between EMS and a trauma center where you hear the screams of the patient in the background. I want them to be in an ER when a parent comes to identify their teen's body. (I know fire fighters who make sure they leave the ER before the parents get there because they can't stand the screams of anguish.) Anything to make them THINK before they do something that takes their life or the life of someone else.
August 26th, 2009
1:26 pm
Sad news is that most kids are playing video games that are just as violent. So many times even sharing this video with teens/children today doesn't even "truly" affect them in a positive way because they have become desenitized by violence already. Sad but true.
August 26th, 2009
1:34 pm
ABSOLUTELY show it to my kids. My 14 year old will see it tonight!
August 26th, 2009
1:42 pm
Absolutely show it to our kids. It's the most realistic video I've ever seen and drives home the point — drivng is dangerous, driving while distracted is deadly. I'll never forget what my father told me over 30 years ago when he handed me the car keys — "remember, it's a killer". And, that was before the days of cells phones…….
August 26th, 2009
1:45 pm
Absolutely I will show it to my son. He's 14 but just started HS and is all about getting his learner's permit next spring. But he's also all about texting and for whatever reason in the past year has to be reminded to put his seat belt on every time we get in the car. I keep telling him there is no way I'm letting him drive if I can't trust that he'll get in the car and put on his seatbelt without me reminding him.
I think that this video is graphic but hey, isn't life? Teenagers don't take things like this to heart so to speak because they don't realize that this kind of stuff can happen to them. I think as adults we take things to heart (i.e. the baby) because we relate to the fact that life is so fragile. For the most part, teenagers don't see life as fragile unless someone close to them has died.
I hope schools show this to kids! I actually work with the youth at our church and sent the link to our youth pastor. Every kid should see this. Even if it only makes half the kids think twice before texting and driving, it will be worth it.

Syria not the only chemical weapons concern
The US military is focused on Syria right now, but there are other areas where chemical weapons are of great concern. "I've just returned from Asia, where I had a very serious and long conversation with South Korea's defense minister about the threat that North Korea's stockpile of chemical weapons presents to them," said Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel. Referring to Syria's situation, he said the US must demonstrate through its actions that the use of chemical weapons is unacceptable.

By Seth Meyer, USDA Senior Economist in the Office of the Chief Economist, and Rob Johansson, USDA Deputy Chief Economist
The EPA's 2014 proposed rule for the RFS sets large volumes of biofuel use across several broad categories of fuel types but represents a significant reduction in mandated volumes from legislated levels.
The EPA has once again proposed to significantly reduce the cellulosic mandate (from 1.75 billion gallons to just 17 million gallons) but, in contrast to previous years, has also proposed to reduce the overall mandate by more than 3 billion gallons.
Under the proposed volumes, biofuel prices and the blend wall will largely determine a fairly narrow range of about 460 million gallons - about a day and a half worth of U.S. motorfuel consumption - where much of the action in the biofuels market is likely to occur. It is this volume which will intersect the blend wall, influencing RIN prices and where biodiesel, corn ethanol and sugarcane ethanol imports will face off.
The proposed rule puts forth a complex calculation of alternative probabilities in order to set the mandate levels. The complexity of the EPA's calculations may give rise to a sense of precision in the various volumes outlined, however significant uncertainty remains with different potential mandate volume outcomes highly interdependent.
Despite this, the method the EPA has come up with in determining the mandate levels for the various biofuel categories can be boiled down to what is a fairly simple rule which takes into account their assumptions about the industry's underlying ability to produce and blend each type of biofuel and the public's ability to utilize those fuels.
Proposed mandate levels for 2014 are summarized in table 1. The EPA has set the proposed biofuel mandate for 2014 at the current year's level of 1.28 billion volumetric gallons (1.92 billion EV gallons). The EPA then included additional non-ethanol fuels which they feel are likely to be produced. Finally, the assumed amount of ethanol that can be consumed under the blend wall via E10 and E85 consumption is included to arrive at the total proposed mandate level of 15.21 billion gallons for 2014.
The proposed cellulosic mandate has been set at anticipated domestic production of 17 million gallons and is, in essence, so small as to not significantly impact the process of setting other or overall mandate volumes. The split between advanced and non-advanced biofuels, which determines the maximum potential share of corn-based ethanol, appears to have been set by adding the estimated non-ethanol advanced biofuel available to the biodiesel mandate, resulting in a total advanced component of 2.2 billion gallons. The remainder - 13.01 billion gallons - is corn ethanol's maximum potential contribution toward the RFS (table 1).
The EPA calculates what they anticipate to be the blend wall, or the maximum absorption of ethanol likely to occur in 2014 of 13.021 billion gallons of ethanol. That includes 12.841 billion gallons consumed in E10 blends, 0 gallons consumed as E15, and 0.180 billion gallons consumed as E85.

About the story of when a fan told Jared, "thank you for being so amazing" and he replied with "you're welcome" - (x) & (x)
Misha: I think it's unfair, honestly. I'm a fully grown, six foot tall adult male who happens to have been saddled with a couple of giants. So now on television, I look like I'm tiny and I'm not tiny! By television standards, I'm actually too tall. It's so frustrating! [x]

Laissez-faire. This approach involves letting the users get on with it. We can imagine a dialogue between a user and an IT manager:
User: I'd like to develop a small database for putting our marketing survey data on. Could you help?
IT Manager: I'm not sure we really can. We don't have the resources to develop a system for you at the moment. Our resources are stretched with the implementation of the new billing system.
User: Well, I'd like to build it myself. I've got MS-Access and it looks simple enough.
IT: Manager: That's fine. If you have the resources go ahead. But we're not in a position to help you. You're basically on your own there.
User: (sarcastically) Thanks!
Monopolistic. Often the response to the anarchy which results from a laissez-faire approach is to set up a draconian centralised approach to EUC:
User: I'd like to develop a small database for putting our marketing survey data on. Could you help?
IT Manager: I don't think we've got the resources to take on any further projects at the moment. You could try putting in a bid for the autumn steering committee.
User: No, I'd like to have a go myself. We have some spare money. I could purchase a PCs and I have a little experience of MS-Access.
IT Manager: PC purchasing has to be done through our department.
User: Can't I do it myself?
IT Manager: Frankly, no. PCs have to be authorised by IT. Furthermore we think it's inadvisable that departments go ahead and develop their own systems. We are supporting Personnel in the development of one small system. But that's under strict control and we've put a programmer in the Personnel department. We don't want things getting out of control. PCs and user programming are only allowed if authorised by the Finance Director. Even if you were authorised, you would have to use Delphi for program development since that is the standard.
User: OK, I'll have a word with the Finance Director.
Accelerated. The accelerated approach encourages EUC, but in a passive way:
User: I'd like to develop a small database for putting our marketing survey data on. Could you help?
IT Manager: Yes, I'd be pleased to help. Have you got a PC?
User: No, but we've got a budget set aside for this. The marketing director is eager that we get better intelligence from our marketing data.
IT Manager: That sounds very worthwhile. Well, we can give you a hand in selecting the best PC if you want. Have you decided what database you're going to use?
User: I've got some knowledge of MS-Access.
IT Manager: That seems a reasonable choice. We're using Oracle and Delphi, but that might be a bit complex for your purposes. But if you need some extra training in MS-Access I'm sure we could help.
User: Could I come over to discuss the database further.
IT Manager: Sure, how about tomorrow morning?
User: That sounds fine.
Marketing. A marketing approach to EUC actively encourages EUC by making the users aware of the possibilities for management developed systems and encouraging users to make the leap into self-development of systems:
IT Manager: John? Hi. This is Clive from IT. I've been told that you gathering quite a lot of information in marketing that you don't know what to do with?
User: Yes, Arthur has expressed some concern about this.
IT Manager: Have you thought of developing your own system to deal with this?
User: The thought had crossed my mind.
IT Manager: You could easily develop a small database which would enable you to organise the data and begin to get good intelligence from it.
User: Would that be difficult?
IT Manager: Not really. We'll help you to learn MS-Access and take you through some data modelling. I could come across on Wednesday to chat about it. Perhaps we could involve Arthur.
User: That would be very helpful.
IT Manager: When would be convenient?
User: Any time after two.
IT Manager: OK. Make it 2.30 on Wednesday then.
Operation based. A good information service department should aim at a situation where EUC is an accepted and integrated part of the overall IT strategy. In an operation-based approach, EUC is co-ordinated and is a natural part of the computing strategy.
User: Hi, Clive. Will you be at the End User Steering Committee on Wednesday?
IT Manager: Yes. Are you reporting on your marketing system?
User: Yes. It's going well at the moment.
IT Manager: I see Simon's working with you.
User: He's helped me with the data model. We've now got the tables into MS-Access.
IT Manager: How's the budget?
User: Fine. We only need Simon for another day.

He is asking for prayers from as many people as possible, to help him come through this with his faith having been strengthened by this testing. By the way, I love you're blog, and you and your wife are lovely.
Prayers, everyone! (And thank you very much!)
If your friend wants to chat, I'm quite empathetic to his situation. He can come on here, or email me at email@example.com :)

I can't imagine how scary what she is going through is for her, and her family. So if you can, could you please pray? c:

They gave him a couple of days to live.
So yea, thank you.

Prayer request!
I'm working on getting an event together. I don't want to say too much, in case it doesn't work out, or in case some of my higher hopes are dashed, but I think it would be an incredible blessing to the Christian community here on Tumblr. If you could just pray that God guides this, and that God's will be done and His name be glorified in this, that would be super awesome. I'll be posting more information as it becomes available.
God bless!
l00k-into-the-future-deactivate said: Will you please pray for my friend's sister? She's in critical condition with pneumonia in both of her lungs and doctors say that there is a high chance that she might not make it.
Just so everyone knows, I'm tagging prayer requests on my blog. There's now a link in the sidebar so that you can go read through them. Please do pray for these brothers and sisters.

Rollins College senior Kaley Sinclair knows that third grader James Jackson at Fern Creek Elementary School in Orlando likes break dancing and SpongeBob and someday wants to travel to China and Texas. Since Kaley has been James's school mentor for the past four years, she knows more about him than just his grades. She's someone with whom he reads and talks and on whom he relies.
With more than 83 percent of Fern Creek's students receiving free or reduced-cost lunches and a 23 percent homeless rate, consistent mentorships like the one Kaley provides are a "must-have" for the school, says Fern Creek Principal Patrick Galatowitsch. That's why the elementary school has one of the largest mentorship programs in the district – with 125 regular mentors, nearly half of whom are Rollins students.
But Rollins' long-term commitment to its neighbor goes beyond mentorship. From on-campus college visits … to helping develop a new science lab … to teaching robotics … to painting classrooms … to donating more than 1,000 books to the library, Rollins is intrinsically involved in all aspects of school life.
In fact, you'll find at least one person from the College on-site at Fern Creek every day. It's one of the reasons why Fern Creek credits Rollins with helping elevate it from a "C"-rated school to "A" status over the course of the partnership.
"The impact of this collaborative effort goes beyond the donations and mentors," said Galatowitsch. "It is truly an inseparable partnership, teaching everyone that community service is a life-long commitment, and reinforcing the Rollins mission of building responsible global citizens."
Rollins also hosts the bi-annual "Pathways to College Day," inviting all Fern Creek students to reframe their mindset from thinking, "Will I go to college?" to thinking "Where will I go to college?" Wearing shirts boasting "Future College Graduate," the children take campus tours, meet students and faculty and attend a variety of classes featuring "university" activities geared to elementary students.
The partnership began nearly nine years ago when Professor of Biology Eileen Gregory was researching why science and math was critical in helping elementary students succeed later on, especially in areas where children are underserved and higher risk. Research shows that a child who graduates from college with a degree in math or science is more likely to break the poverty cycle for his/her family.
"Since Fern Creek was lacking parent volunteers to help with academic initiatives and improvements, Rollins was able to help fill this void," said Holly Vanture, president of the Fern Creek Elementary School Foundation.
For that reason, Gregory helped create Fern Creek's Science Academy, a program designed to increase students' exposure to science. The Academy spawned "Science Night," a program where nearly 100 Fern Creek students, parents and Rollins volunteers regularly participate in after-school science activities and experiments.
Fern Creek has indeed benefitted from this long-term partnership, but Micki Meyer, director of the office of community engagement at Rollins, is quick to point out that the College has been equally impacted.
"Many Rollins students who have participated in these service-learning projects have been inspired to work in education," said Meyer. "Some of our students now work full-time at Fern Creek." Among them: Suzy Plott, who currently serves as community and mentor coordinator at the elementary school.
Principal Galatowitsch and Meyer say this collaboration is a good example of taking full advantage of economically feasible options to help local schools.
"In tough times, it's critical to find interesting and creative ways to share resources with public schools," added Meyer. "Human-to-human connections are free – all it takes is time, willingness to partner, and shared learning at the center."

AMARILLO - West Texas A&M students can expect an evacuation drill in the near future.
With several bomb threats on college campuses across the nation late last year, including the University of Texas in Austin and Texas A&M at College Station, West Texas A&M is making sure it would be prepared for such a threat.
"The university administration here has directed that we have a plan in place here and that we exercise that plan," said WTAMU Director of Police Operations, Patrick Coggins.
The A&M system made it a requirement that all of its schools take a look at their plans after last year's scare, something that WTAMU had never done.
"If there was a plan in place previously, I wasn't aware of it for evacuating campus," Coggins said. "And I don't mean to sound flippant about it, but it's not rocket science. If you evacuate something, you leave it."
The plan details bus routes to get pedestrians off campus, and assignments to local law enforcement for directing traffic and sweeping buildings.Those details were sent out in a mass email Wednesday night, something that didn't seem to concern many students who say they already feel safe.
"I checked my email today and I didn't read it," said WTAMU student Logan Canterbury. "UPD does a pretty good job of notifying us."
WTAMU police say they will check for flaws in their plan when they perform a full evacuation drill in the near future.

"It is often said, mainly by the "no-contests", that although there is no positive evidence for the existence of God, nor is there evidence against his existence. So it is best to keep an open mind and be agnostic. At first sight that seems an unassailable position, at least in the weak sense of Pascal's wager. But on second thought it seems a cop-out, because the same could be said of Father Christmas and tooth fairies. There may be fairies at the bottom of the garden. There is no evidence for it, but you can't prove that there aren't any, so shouldn't we be agnostic with respect to fairies?"
Richard Dawkins
"Out of all of the sects in the world, we notice an uncanny coincidence: the overwhelming majority just happen to choose the one that their parents belong to. Not the sect that has the best evidence in its favour, the best miracles, the best moral code, the best cathedral, the best stained glass, the best music: when it comes to choosing from the smorgasbord of available religions, their potential virtues seem to count for nothing, compared to the matter of heredity. This is an unmistakable fact; nobody could seriously deny it. Yet people with full knowledge of the arbitrary nature of this heredity, somehow manage to go on believing in their religion, often with such fanaticism that they are prepared to murder people who follow a different one."

text: (WNFL)- University of Minnesota guard-and-forward Wally Ellenson has transferred to Marquette. The native of Rice Lake in northwest Wisconsin will have two years of eligibility, after he sits out the next season as required by NCAA transfer rules. Ellenson is a 6'6 swingman who averaged two points and just under one rebound for the Gophers in his sophomore season. He said Marquette is a great fit for him -- and he'd love for his brother to be one of his teammates. Henry Ellenson will be a senior at Rice Lake this fall, and he's already pondering scholarship offers from some major schools. He made his Marquette visit last weekend. Wally Ellenson is the third player to transfer to the Golden Eagles since Steve Wojciechowski became the new head coach in April. Loyola Marymount forward Gabe Levin will sit out this season under the transfer policy. Graduate student Matt Carlino, a guard from BYU, will play this year.

Navy Good Conduct Ribbon
Navy Good Conduct Ribbon
$ 0.99
The current Navy Good Conduct Medal dates from 1961 and is issued to every active duty sailor who completes three years of honorable and faithful service. Before 1996, four years of honorable and faithful service was required. During times of war, the Good Conduct Medal may be awarded for one year of faithful service. The Good Conduct Medal may also be awarded posthumously, to any soldier killed in the line of duty. Upon 12 years of honorable and faithful service, sailors are also allowed to wear gold-colored version of their Petty Officer insignia, something usually seen with those with the rank of Chief Petty Officer and above, although a few with the rank of Petty Officer 1st Class (usually in the Navy Reserve) have their version of this rank insignia. Of all the Good Conduct Medals, The Navy Good Conduct Medal is the oldest, dating back to 1869. There have been a total of four versions of the Navy Good Conduct Medal, the first version of which was issued from 1870 to 1884. The second version of the Navy Good Conduct Medal was issued between 1880 and 1884. The medal was phased out by 1885 and a new medal issued between 1885 and 1961. Enlistment bars, denoting each honorable enlistment completed, were pinned on the ribbon as attachments.

Jason and I haven't posted in a while, and I'd like to blame this, largely, on those reports that there was going to be a bacon shortage. That's some end-of-days type ish right there, and you can likely picture us hunkering down in our respective shelters, stocking up on pork bellies and ammo.
Then, today, out comes the news that the "shortage" is no big deal. There should be ample bacon, even if the prices of it might crack your monocle ever so slightly:
The economics of the current drought are likely to nose up prices for bacon and other pork products next year, by as much as 10 percent. But U.S. agricultural economists are dismissing reports of a global bacon shortage that lent sizzle to headlines and Twitter feeds last week. Simply put, the talk of scarcity is hogwash. "Use of the word 'shortage' caused visions of (1970s-style) gasoline lines in a lot of people's heads, and that's not the case," said Steve Meyer, president of Iowa-based Paragon Economics and a consultant to the National Pork Producers Council and National Pork Board.
Oh, so they mean the laws of supply and demand are going to be in effect? Well, that's some breaking news right there. As Jason said, if we can't trust the media not to overhype economic headlines, what can we trust in any more?

A Critical Appraisal of the Legal Regime for Biodiversity Conservation in Nigeria
Nigeria harbours a peculiar and an uncertain environmental situation taking into cognizance the desert encroachment in the North and the rise of sea level leading to flooding in the South, which calls for a well articulated, accelerated, and organized remedial action plan on the conservation of Biodiversity. Several species of fauna and flora which the country is naturally endowed with have been rendered extinct or are in danger of extinction as a consequence of economic growth and development. On the international scene the situation is not better with current trends like climate change which has greatly affected the distribution and extinction of species of flora and fauna, ecosystems as well as man and his environment. The earth surface which is full of a diversity of plants and animals currently estimated at about 1.7 million known species are yet greatly threatened by biodiversity loss, erosion, depletion of genes and global species constitute an important concern to national and international authorities. The objective of this paper is to examine the legal regimes on the conservation of biodiversity at the global level, equally Nigeria as a global player has domesticated these regimes into its national laws in a bid to ensure the conservation of biodiversity within the country. We are also going to examine the causes and effects of the loss of biodiversity, the relationship between biodiversity conservation and the fight against climate change. In this paper, judicial decisions, statutes, international treaties as well as official records on the conservation of biodiversity form the primary sources while secondary sources such as textbooks, journals, official proceedings, specialized publications and conference papers were equally utilized. The paper will be crowned with some recommendations proffered from the writers' perspective and a conclusion.

It is named after a legendary Caribbean pirate and run by Italian owner Claudio since 1970 (hence the Chianti bottle candleholders).

Setting aside one hour of time could save up to three lives by donating blood. LifeShare Blood Center is holding three local blood drives in the next week and is in need of donations.
"I love Minden and this area," said Mary Jo Henderson, Donor Recruiter. "The whole community rallies around and helps if someone is in need."
Henderson is confident the community she has known and built relationships with for 16 years, will support the blood drive by donations.
As there is no substitute for human blood and the shelf-life of stored red blood cells is approximately 42 days, so the need for donations is on-going.
Henderson explains that blood helps an abundance of patients such as babies in utero (before birth).
Children being treated for cancer, premature infants and children having heart surgery need blood and platelets from donors.
One unit of blood can be separated into several components: red blood cells, plasma and platelets. Red blood cells are needed for surgeries and trauma patients, while plasma is used for burn patients and cancer patients. Platelets promote blood clotting and give those with leukemia and other cancers a chance to live, according to americasblood.org. Cancer, transplant and trauma patients, and patients undergoing surgery may require platelet transfusions to survive.
Upcoming LifeShare Blood drives will be:
Saturday, March 23, at Camp Minden from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Thursday, March 28, at the Minden Wal-Mart from 1:30 to 5 p.m.
Saturday, March 30, at Hay's Grocery in Sibley from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
For more information, donors can visit www.lifeshare.org or call Mary Jo Henderson at 673-1485.
LifeShare Blood Centers regularly supplies blood components to 117 medical facilities throughout Louisiana, East Texas and South Arkansas. Founded in Shreveport in 1942, it is a nonprofit community service provider governed by a volunteer Board of Trustees.
An average adult has 10 pints of blood in their body and typically if someone needs blood during a surgery, at least three units of blood is transfused, however, a newborn baby has about a cup of blood in its body, according to online sources
About 4.5 million Americans will need a blood transfusion each year.
Someone needs blood every two seconds.

(WMC-TV) - Memphis radio host Thaddeus Matthews was arrested at his studio around 8 p.m. Monday, accused of harassment and stalking.
Police say Matthews was driving around a woman's home late at night, taking pictures, and posting them to Facebook, along with her address.
In the affidavit of complaint, the victim also describes an incident over the weekend in which Matthews was at her home taking pictures while someone else who lived there was being arrested.
Action News 5 sorted through Matthews' Facebook page and found that the person taken into custody that night was Matthew's ex-girlfriend.
After posting a $5,000 bond, Thaddeus Matthews had this to say:
"Am I controversial? Yes. But this is crock, totally crock," he said. "I don't have time to be driving by stalking no woman."
Matthews was once involved with Towanna Murphy, who has been in jail since Friday. She was arrested after Matthews led bounty hunters her way on an outstanding for skipping bail. They were details that Matthews posted on Facebook.
Murphy's friend, Brenda Askew, subsequently filed a police report claiming Matthews had been harassing Murphy.
Matthews says Askew is just mad at him because he has been investigating her non-profit organization. He said police never even asked to interview him.
This is Matthews second arrest in one year. There is still a case pending in court from November in which he is accused of posting child pornography to his Facebook page in what he describes as an attempt to catch the person responsible.

Some people are still picking up the pieces around two Moorhead homes after fires destroyed garages.
Moorhead investigators are now looking into the cause of both of those garage fires that happened within a mile of each other.
Fire fighter say, at least one of the fires may have been started by a hot car the homeowner was working on. It comes as a reminder that you can never be too careful.
Valley News team's Hope Hanselman looked into what hidden dangers could be tucked away in your garage.
"We catch quite a few of them a year," Brenton Hicks, Moorhead Fire Captain, said. It's a situation these crews deal with all too often.
"Usually where we catch those fires is people are working on stuff, leave it half done or put a mower away that's hot, near gas," Hicks said.
But, fire fighters say, as common as the calls come in, each case is made all the more dangerous by what lies behind these doors.
"It's a catch-all for your house, you know. It's your gases, your oils, fertilizers, lawn chemicals, everything anybody doesn't want to fit in their house they put in their garage," Hicks said.
Whether they're explosive or flammable, fire fighters warn homeowners to keep them at a distance. Hot lawn mowers, vehicles, even electrical chords can spark a disaster, especially if it reaches a gas can.
"If it catches a can on fire, it will melt the can down, spread it across the floor, then it catches everything around it on fire."
Still, fire fighters agree the garage is the safest place to keep these things. So, the best thing you can do is to keep a fire extinguisher on hand.
"If anything is hot, you don't want to leave it alone, just keep an eye on the stuff you have that you're working on," Hicks said.

Trialogue 2013 : Neighborhood Poetry Collaboration
Primary tabs
Three cultures. Twelve poems. One focus: Passions.
In celebration of National Poetry Month and in partnership with the Goethe Institut, the Chinatown Community Cultural Center, and the Confucius Institute at George Mason University, the DC Public Library is pleased to host "Reading In the Stacks" featuring local poet Joseph Ross.
Over the last 150 years, Washington, DC's Chinatown has been home to many immigrants groups. Each has contributed to the vibrancy and diversity of our neighborhood and our city. Three cultures – Chinese, American and German – are highlighted in this annual celebration of poetry and voice.
The 2013 project presents poems on four passions that move us : "sports," "nightlife," "poetry and visual art," and "protest." Poems will be read in English, German and Chinese.
The online Trialogue project features the four poems from each culture in their native language and translation, along with additional information about each poet and poem.
This event will take place in Room 207. For more information, please call 202-727-1161.
