15-year-old Kate Moore won the LG U.S. National Texting Championship.




For the Des Moines, Iowa, teenager, her 14,000 texts-per-month habit reaped its own rewards, landing her the competition prize of $50,000 just eight months after she got her first cell phone.

Moore, with a speedy and accurate performance, beat out 20 other finalists from around the country over two days of challenges...

Texting is becoming more and more of an issue while behind the wheel.

Do you text and/or talk on your cell while driving?

Should we be allow to at least talk on our cell phones while driving?

Are Bluetooths devices the answer, or is the cell phone still a dangerous distraction?

Are cell phones just getting a bad wrap, some say children, radio, CD player, eating, makeup, and other stuff are just as much as a distraction as cell phones can...

I think we all can agree, if we were to see a child being beat buy anyone, or being discipline with the intent to do harm, everyone would take some action.

What that said, have you, or would you say something to parents/parent who were disciplining their kid by with a spank or scolding.

Is it the public/YOUR business to step in or advise a parent to the point of confronting him or her on how they should discipline their child.

Should we the public be...

Ninety-five percent of the mobile phones were contaminated with at least one type of bacteria, with the potential to cause illness ranging from minor skin irritations to deadly disease.

We now have to keep in mind to wash our hands and our cell phones. This sounds sensible, germs live on hands and on saliva landing on the phone from talking into your cell.

Think about it the next time you use someone else's cell phone, or someone uses your cell phone. OUCH!
