The Information Technology department began developing MyMedia in January 2013 and initialized testing in fall 2013, according to OU’s academic tech website.

So far testers have uploaded almost 1,100 videos, and over 30 courses have used MyMedia on D2L, according to the academic tech website.

Though formal feedback won’t be collected until the end of spring 2014, IT have talked with professors and there have been a low number of support requests from users, Buck said.

OU’s team passed the test and received certification from FEMA, Oldham said.

Matthew Cramm, international studies and political science sophomore, said he enjoyed the hands-on nature of the test during training.

Cramm, who is now the secretary of OU’s Community Emergency Response Team, said Oldham recruited him to be on the team last semester.

After seeing the destruction from the tornadoes in Moore last spring, Cramm said he was glad to learn how to help if such a disaster struck.

“Everyone was watching when the tornado hit Moore and was like, ‘I wish I could have done something,’” Cramm said. “And now you actually can.”

in emergency response. He volunteered in Moore after the tornadoes last spring.

Previously, he had helped with disaster relief after Hurricane Katrina.

When natural disasters happen, people become more dependent on each other, Drew said.

“That’s the time that people need other people the most,” Drew said.

Teel said with emergency response training, students will know how to better help themselves if such a disaster strikes.

“They don’t have to wait for someone to ride in big red truck or a white horse and rescue them,” Teel said.

Oldham encourages all students who have ever watched disaster coverage and wanted to help to join Community Emergency Response Team. The more people who are trained to handle disasters, the better, Oldham said.

Rice: Feeding the world one grain at a time Opinion Columnist

A

sk your friends whether they would like to see starvation eliminated in thirdworld countries and, unless you have some particularly sadistic associates, you’ll receive a firm “yes.” Ask those same people how they believe starvation should be wiped out and you’ll likely hear a wide variety of responses.

One proposal to help diminish famine is a variety of Oryza sativa, commonly referred to as “golden rice.”

Despite its status as a tremendous source of vitamin A (a vitamin millions of people in Asia and Africa don’t get enough of), critics of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) have condemned golden rice and delayed its development.

The reasoning? According to Greenpeace, the scientific understanding of genetically modified organisms’ health and environmental impact is inadequate. This group also argues that the application of molecular biology in modifying crops could help “turn the environment into a giant genetic experiment by commercial interests.”

Ecologist and former Greenpeace president Patrick Moore says that the group’s opposition to golden rice is partly to blame for thousands of deaths. He states that this crop could

provide impoverished people with a vital nutrient and reduce the number of deaths caused by vitamin A deficiencies.

For all its rancor, Greenpeace has little, if any, science to back up its position. A 2013 review of research on genetically modified organisms failed to find “any significant hazards directly connected with the use of GE crops.” In addition, the American Association for the Advancement of Science has stated, “The science is

quite clear: Crop improvement by the modern molecular techniques of biotechnology is safe.”

The virulently anti-GMO platform of Greenpeace is untenable, but one should not expect to see any change in their position in the foreseeable future. These opponents of golden rice are so enraptured by the concept of “genetic purity” that they would deny millions of people in third world countries an opportunity to reduce famine and malnutrition.

The consequence of this obsession is already being felt in countries such as India. Since golden rice became available in 2000, 1.4 million Indians have died from vitamin A deficiencies.

Some opponents of golden rice have no qualms about destroying property to get their way. In August 2013, an anti-GMO mob of roughly 400 people uprooted a test crop of golden rice in the Philippines.

In its fight against golden rice, Greenpeace points to

semi-successful efforts made in the Philippines to increase impoverished individuals’ vitamin A intake. The use of vitamin supplements and increased leafy green consumption helped diminish the country’s rate of vitamin A deficiency, from 47 percent to 15 percent.

These measures may work well in the Philippines, but less developed countries face far more daunting tasks. In 2006, there were 658,000 people suffering from vitamin A deficiencies

Television comedian to visit OU Kel Mitchell’s show to feature ’90s work Sama Khawaja

Life & Arts Reporter

If you grew up in the ’90s, then a good portion of your childhood was probably spent watching “Kenan & Kel� and mouthing “who loves orange soda?� with Kel Mitchell every time he saw a bottle. At 7 p.m. Friday, Mitchell, himself, will be performing at Oklahoma Memorial Union’s Meacham Auditorium for a free oneman show.

As a member of the Union P r o g r a m m i n g B o a r d ’s comedy series core group, human relations sophomore Jeremiah Stinnet said that UPB was looking for someone who was a familiar face and had a clean slate who would be willing to come perform at OU on short notice.

Kel co-starred with current Saturday Night Live cast member Kenan Thomspon in “Kenan & Kel,� a comedy about two teens who work at a grocery store and the antics they get into. “Kel has that appeal that makes us all a little nostalgic,�

Stinnett said.

David Thibodeaux, international business sophomore and a member of the comedy series core group, said when they contacted Mitchell, he was really excited about coming to OU to perform. Psychology junior Rachel Rudebock said she saw the posters around the union and was intrigued since she enjoyed watching the show when she was growing up.

“I think it’s really cool that OU can pull in stars like that,�

Rudebock said.

Mitchell will be performing for at least 45 minutes at Meacham Auditorium and will then meet with everyone for pictures and autographs, Thibodeaux said.

Though the show is expected to focus on his ’90s work, Rudebock is hopeful that Mitchell will talk about what he’s been up to lately. “Because you haven’t really seen him in anything (recent), for the most part,� she said.

It trailed late in all three games this weekend, but maybe that’s the position the Oklahoma baseball team prefers.

OU (23-10) swept California State Bakersfield by taking a 4-2 contest Friday before taking both games of Saturday’s doubleheader.

Oklahoma gave Bakersfield an early lead in every contest before zooming past the Roadrunners late in each matchup. In the seventh, eighth and ninth innings, the Sooners

outscored Bakersfield a combined 18-1.

“Our team is kind of interesting,” senior infielder Hector Lorenzana said. “We actually play better when we’re behind. We play with a chip on our shoulder.”

The Sooners have trailed in a number of games before coming back to win, even before gaining three comeback victories this weekend. Coach Pete Hughes said his team has become familiar with high-pressure situations.

“They don’t know any other way,” Hughes said.

“It’s a competitive strength when you don’t panic. You

believe in yourself and your abilities and stay in the moment.”

Oklahoma faced its biggest deficit of the weekend when it trailed Bakersfield 4-0 in game one of Saturday’s doubleheader.

Through six innings, OU cut the lead to 4-3 before the bats exploded in the next frame.

The Sooners scored 10 runs in the seventh inning before crossing three more in the eighth to win the game 17-4. Freshman infielder and right-handed pitcher Sheldon Neuse drove in eight runs while fellow freshman infielder

Austin O’Brien sparked the rally with a pinch-hit homerun.

“I’m happy that our bats are back,” Hughes said.

“Hopefully we can ride the momentum and keep them around for awhile.”

In the nightcap of the doubleheader, the Sooners scored two in the eighth to slide past the Roadrunners 4-3 as sophomore Ralph Garza Jr. recorded his seventh save of the season.

Prior to the Bakersfield

series, OU had been unable to finish off potential sweeps against Kansas State and Kansas. Taking all three against the Roadrunners was a confidence boost for the team.

“It shows everyone that we can sweep,” sophomore outfielder Hunter Haley said. “We don’t just lose it on the third game.”

The Sooners swept, but it didn’t come easy for the young squad. The non-conference series was a tough

tune-up for the upcoming weekend slate against Texas. But when OU faces the Longhorns, Pete Hughes wants his team to score first.

“I think we’ve earned enough lessons from playing from behind. [That’s] for my own good ...” he said.
