June 19, 2007--Following strong demand from the high-performance-computing community for Mathematica 6, Wolfram Research today launched Parallel Computing Toolkit 2.1--an optimized parallel solution for anyone with access to Mathematica and more than one processor.
Now compatible with Mathematica 6, Parallel Computing Toolkit is the ideal bridge for engineers, scientists, and analysts working on multiprocessor-based product design and problem solving. The application package leverages Mathematica's revolutionary global computing environment by adding powerful programming primitives for writing and controlling parallel Mathematica programs as well as high-level commands for common parallel operations. The new version also continues support for Mathematica 5.2 remote kernel processes.
"Technical computing is crucial to the many discoveries that impact our quality of life, and most sciences are quickly becoming computational sciences, which is why advanced computing capabilities need to be seamlessly integrated into the end-to-end scientific process," said Tony Hey, corporate vice president for technical computing at Microsoft. "With Mathematica 6 and Parallel Computing Toolkit running on Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003, scientists and researchers have ready access to high-impact adaptive visualization, which makes it easier for the scientist to both develop the application and deploy it on the Windows-based cluster."
Features include:
Parallel Computing Toolkit 2.1 is also a major component of the forthcoming updates to gridMathematica and Mathematica Personal Grid Edition.
Parallel Computing Toolkit and Mathematica 6 are being demonstrated live by Wolfram Research, Microsoft, and Tyan Computer Corporation at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC '07), June 26-29 in Dresden, Germany.
More information is available at the Parallel Computing Toolkit website.

Treatment Admissions Involving Narcotic Painkillers
|In Brief
Admissions to treatment involving the abuse of narcotic painkillers1 made up a small proportion-about 3 percent-of the 1.6 million admissions reported to the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) in 2000. However, these treatment admissions have increased in publicly funded substance abuse treatment facilities across the nation during the last few years.
In 2000, there were about 50,000 admissions to treatment where the primary, secondary, or tertiary substance of abuse was a narcotic painkiller. In about half of these admissions, narcotic painkillers represented the primary substance of abuse.2 In the other half of these 50,000 admissions, abuse of narcotic painkillers was secondary to abuse of another substance, generally alcohol or heroin.
The number of treatment admissions in which narcotic painkillers were involved was relatively stable between 1992 and 1997, but increased between 1997 and 2000 (Figure 1). In 1992, the treatment admission rate for narcotic painkiller abuse in the United States was 13 admissions per 100,000 persons aged 12 or older. By 2000, it had increased to 27 admissions per 100,000, more than doubling the rate since 1992.
Admission Rates by State
In 1992, 5 States had an admission rate for narcotic painkillers of 24 per 100,000 aged 12 or older (Figure 2). By 1997, 11 States had admission rates that high, and by 2000, 21 States had narcotic painkiller admission rates of 24 per 100,000 or more. Rates were particularly high in New England, where they ranged from 12 per 100,000 people in New Hampshire, to 63 per 100,000 in Connecticut, to 120 per 100,000 in Maine.
Number of Admissions
The increase in admissions involving narcotic painkillers was much larger than the overall increase in treatment admissions (Figure 3). In TEDS, the number of treatment admissions increased by 9 percent between 1997 and 2000. During that same period, admissions for primary heroin abuse increased 16 percent. Admissions for primary abuse of narcotic painkillers increased 76 percent, and the number of admissions involving any primary, secondary, or tertiary abuse of narcotic painkillers increased by 55 percent.
The characteristics of admissions for abuse of narcotic painkillers changed little between 1997 and 2000. Over half of these admissions (56 percent) were male, and over 80 percent were White. Referral to treatment through the criminal justice system was relatively rare (17 percent in 1997 and 17 percent in 2000), with about half of narcotic painkiller admissions seeking treatment on their own (47 percent in 1997 and 48 percent in 2000) or being referred by substance abuse treatment or other health care providers (26 percent in 1997 and 27 percent in 2000). In 2000, a larger proportion entered detoxification than in 1997 (27 percent vs. 22 percent).
New Users
The major change between 1997 and 2000 was the substantial increase in the proportion of new users of narcotic painkillers (those entering treatment within 3 years of beginning use). The proportion of new users increased from 30 percent in 1997 to 41 percent in 2000.
Over the 3-year span 1997 to 2000, the number of treatment admissions involving narcotic painkillers increased for all ages (Figure 4). However, the largest increase was in the number of admissions among persons aged 20 to 30.
Duration of Use
The median duration of use before first seeking treatment has decreased, from 10 years in 1992, to 8 years in 1997, to 6 years in 2000.
End Notes
1 Narcotic painkiller admissions include all admissions reporting primary, secondary, or tertiary abuse of narcotic painkillers such as oxycodone, codeine, Dilaudid, morphine, Demerol, and any other drug with morphine-like effects. Admissions involving abuse of heroin and/or methadone, unless reported in addition to abuse of narcotic painkillers, are excluded from this report.
2 The primary substance of abuse is the main substance abused at the time of admission.

A couple of blogs that I follow religiously are Young House Love and Bower Power. A couple times a year they challenge each other and their readers to a Pinterest Challenge. Basically, you stop pinning and start doing!
Here are some tips to get you started:
(From YHL):
The only rule is to do your own personal take on something inspirational that you've pinned (and link back to the original creator of the project that inspired you, be it a company like Anthropologie or a personal blog that got your wheels a turning). The project can be anything: big or small, decor or sewing or cooking related – or beyond!
(From Bower Power):
- The project inspiration needs also to be linked up to…but not only to the pinterest item – but also to the original source (whether that be a store like Pottery Barn or a blog or a website) Let's make sure to give credit where credit is due, y'all!
- Remember that no project is too small or too big.
- Projects have no limits….cooking, sewing, crafting, DIY, home stuff, those homemade nipple tassels you've been eyeing….anything goes
- If you want to post about your own Pinterest Challenge projects on your own blog - it would be super nice to have you include the Pinterest Challenge Banner and link back to our project posts too! This would give us a chance to meet new friends and become one big happy internet family
- Oh and Pinterest doesn't know about this challenge (or endorse, sponsor, etc.) – if we died, there would be no Pinterest staff bringing potato salad to our funeral. Just sayin.
So, with those tips in mind…wanna play along?!
Projects are due Wednesday morning (03/14/2012). I'll be posting my finished project photos then.
Check back and share your results with us!!

Fire roared through one three-decker and leapt to another and another, and smoke and flame began to overtake the apartment where Modupe Oshikoya's constant companion, a cat named Rosie, was trapped.
That night two weeks ago, a firefighter spotted the limp animal among the chaos, scooped her up, and brought her to safety. An emergency medical technician put an oxygen mask over her face and revived her. The firefighter lifted the cat into the cab of a fire truck, where it would be safe until reunited with her owner, a student who had come from London just months before.

CONWAY, Mass (Reuters) - A wintry storm socked New England states with a mix of heavy snow and freezing rain on Wednesday, sparking power outages and delaying some pre-Thanksgiving flights on one of the busiest travel days of the year.
Roughly 17,000 customers from Maine to New York were without electricity by midafternoon after heavy snow toppled trees, limbs and power lines in some places.
Rain eased up in the Mid-Atlantic after downpours overnight, but as much as 10 inches of snow was forecast across the higher elevations of upstate New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine by afternoon, when the storm was expected to end, the National Weather Service said.
" high-impact winter storm will adversely affect holiday travel early this morning and into this afternoon," NWS said in a winter storm warning.
"People should plan their travel accordingly and be prepared to allow plenty of extra time to reach their destination."
By midafternoon, power outages included 9,800 customers in Maine, 3,100 in New Hampshire, 2,800 in Vermont, and roughly 1,000 customers in New York.
In southern Vermont, utility crews scrambled to repair lines knocked out by 8 inches of heavy wet snow, said Central Vermont Public Service spokeswoman Christine Rivers.
In Maine, up to 10 inches of snow was predicted for the mid-state region around Bangor and Orono, with freezing rain expected along the coast. State police urged drivers to go slow as roads turn slippery or to avoid road travel altogether, if possible.
The day before Thanksgiving is a notoriously busy travel day, as friends and families gather to share the annual feast to commemorate the Pilgrims' celebration of the good harvest of 1621.
On the roads, some 38.2 million Americans are expected to drive 50 miles or more away from home between November 23 and 27, up 4 percent from last year and the highest since 2007, said travel group AAA.
Airports were bracing for roughly 23.2 million people expected to fly U.S. carriers' domestic and international routes over the Thanksgiving holiday period, according to industry group ATA.
While there were no major tie-ups at Boston's Logan Airport, numerous planes had slight delays and several flights to New York City and Toronto were canceled, said Massport's Logan spokesman Phil Orlandella.
"Yesterday we handled about 100,000 people and we expect to do the same, or somewhere near there, today," Orlandella said.
New England carrier Cape Air canceled most flights to or from Maine, New Hampshire, New York's Adirondacks region and Vermont due to the bad weather, Orlandella said.
"The heavy snow has avoided major cities in the Northeast - it's been well north, and north of Boston -- but these cities got hit with a lot of rain last night, and locally gusty winds, and that has flights backed up," said Alex Sosnowski, expert senior meteorologist with AccuWeather.
With the storm moving out to sea overnight, strong winds currently buffeting New York City should die down by Thursday morning for the annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, Sosnowski said.
The parade's huge inflatable balloons typically are grounded when winds exceed a danger threshold of about 34 miles per hour, Sosnowski said.
"There is some 'canyon effect' there in New York City - the air rushes in between the buildings. But tomorrow, winds should average 8 - 15 miles per hour, with gusts to 25," he said.
Amtrak had no storm-related problems with its northeastern train service by midmorning, said spokesman Cliff Cole.
In the Pacific Northwest, a strong storm that pounded the region in prior days had tapered off, but a second one was seen delivering fierce winds to the area on Thanksgiving Day, forecasters said.
The Cascade Mountains, the Coastal Range and the Rockies also may get over a foot of snow in the next two days, the National Weather Service said.

A conservation group claims that more than half of the fish that it sampled in the New York City area were mislabeled.
The Oceana's survey looked at 81 businesses during the summer of 2011 that sell or serve fish.
According to the study - "Bait and Switch: How Seafood Fraud Hurts Our Oceans, Our Wallets and Our Health"- DNA testing was used on the fish and found that a majority was labeled incorrectly.
In some cases, cheaper fish was sold for higher prices, but many consumers would not be able to tell the difference.
The group tested 150 types of fish.
The report claims:
•58 percent of the retail outlets sampled sold mislabeled fish•Small markets had much higher fraud (40%) than national chains (12%)•100% of the 16 sushi venues tested sold mislabeled fish•Tilefish, on the FDA's do-not-eat list because of its high mercury content, was substituted for red snapper and halibut in one small market•94% of the "white tuna" was escolar, a snake mackerel that has a toxin with purgative effects for people who eat more than a small amount of the fish•13 types of fish were sold as "red snapper," including tilapia, white bass, goldbanded jobfish, tilefish, porgy/seabream, ocean perch and other snappersSome of the concerns over the mislabeling of fish beyond the price difference are the potential health complications.
Oceana is lobbying for passage of the Safety in Fraud and Enforcement for Seafood Act. It would require full traceability for all seafood sold in the U.S.

A World Champion's Approach to Chess
Hans Berliner is one of the most successful correspondence chess players of all time, and was utterly dominant in the 5th World Championship.

The System
In the first half of this book, Sadler concentrates on establishing general principles for the opening, middlegame, and endgame. For instance, the section on the opening discusses the principles of good development, king safety, center occupation, and the initiative. Each section concludes with a summary of the important points and selection of exercises to help you see how much you've internalized before you go on.

Blazer fans need to get over their emotional attachments and understand that there are no trades that make any difference for the Blazers if they don't involve Batum or LMA. You can't package GW with any amount of guards, 40 year old centers etc. and expect get a player that's going to make an impact on this team. Money is not an issue here, it's what we're willing to give up to get a decent point guard.

Turquoise bag is slightly bluer & taller in person
"I bought this online. I'm very happy with this purse - it's a little bluer & bigger(taller) than expected, but still not too big.The leather is flexible(not hard at all), it has a bit more hippy-chick look in person (the inside brown leather is slightly visible in cross pattern), but still a very sharp purse.I've been airing this purse out for a few days and it still currently smells, although a lot less.Overall this is a very cute & practical purse - inside & out!"

16-654 LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY IN FILM AND LITERATURELatin America is a complex territory and a state of mind suspended between the extremes of despair and unbound hopefulness. Telling its history poses insurmountable challenges to the academic historian, and often the history of the land and its people is better expressed in the work of artists, writers and filmmakers.

16-664 THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIONThe Mexican Revolution was one of the momentous events of the 20th century. It transformed Mexican society bringing change and hope for the masses that fought in it.

Parents of students in public schools across Virginia will begin receiving information regarding eating disorders next year as part of a new state mandate.
"We want parents to know exactly what's going on with their child," Charlottesville School Board chair Juandiego Wade said.
The mandate from the General Assembly takes effect in the 2013-2014 school year. Schools are required to send information home, specifically tailored to each division, about eating disorders.
"The House passed that because there's a concern there's a lot of eating disorders in the country," said Eileen Gomez, Albemarle County's school nurse coordinator. "It's a rather prevalent condition for adolescents."
The mandate is for parents of students in grades 5 through 12. There are no plans in place yet for Charlottesville or Albemarle County schools in terms of what will be included in the information, but the county schools' Health Advisory Board is scheduled to discuss it Wednesday night.
"I think they're going to explain what to look for when it comes to eating disorders, what certain behaviors that indicate that a child might have an eating disorder," Gomez said.
Gomez said some of the warning signs of eating disorders include being secretive about food, refusing to eat or sudden changes in weight. She said an eating disorder can develop as young as 9 years old.
"Because eating disorders have a much better prognosis if caught early, and of course if prevented, then it's very important that we have parents be aware of this so that they can intervene," Gomez said.
"A lot of those things that affect that child not only takes place within the confines of the classroom or the time period that we have them, but also things that the child may experience at home," Wade said.
Wade added that it's the schools' responsibility to teach nutrition and healthy living, which extends beyond the classroom.
"When we're educating children, we know that we have to deal with the whole child," he said.
The mandate for information on eating disorders just adds to the list of information schools are required to send home. Other topics include scoliosis and immunization.

Personal support and relationships are what count for us. We value people with character who can help our team to move forward: qualifications, personality and team skills sum up DESIGNA's employees.
We have a presence on every continent but at the same time have remained down to earth and flexible. Our employees are supported by flat hierarchies, flexible working hours and a large amount of freedom to make their own decisions. We cultivate open communication and work towards constructive solutions.
Team spirit
The close cooperation at DESIGNA requires excellent teamwork skills. That means above all recognising when a colleague needs help and being ready to get involved. As a result, friendships are often made that reach far beyond the working environment. Our joint events, such as the summer festival to which families are also invited, are the best opportunities for our employees to get to know one another better and grow together.
A good team spirit doesn't only pay off in project work. A good example for this is the success of our running teams in their regular participation in official competitions such as the "Coast to Coast Run" over 94.2 km from Husum to Damp or the "Company Race".
In addition, in the summer months our employees are enthusiastic dragon boat sailors, training for the Kieler Fun Cup.
The DESIGNA team consists to a large extent of committed and qualified engineers who enjoy taking on responsibility and prefer reaching their goals in an effective team.
As a global player, global, multicultural understanding is important for DESIGNA. All of our employees speak English.

A mom sent me a note about students being suspended for creating versions of the "Harlem Shake." She thought it would be a cute video for her son's senior class but now she's concerned that they might be suspended. Here's more:
"Personally I think it's a riot and told my son, who is a senior, that he ought to get the senior class to film one. But then I started hearing about kids getting suspended for it. Some schools think it's too [sexually] suggestive. But I've seen all kinds of groups post their version (including Scout Troops and our local Chick-Fil-A staff!) so I do believe it can be done in a non-suggestive manner."
"I think some of the suspensions came as a result of lying about the use of school property and disrupting class. But if it's done in a tasteful manner and outside of school hours, is it really that bad? Since it's an international phenom right now, I think it would fun for his Senior Class to do their own video but since he goes to a pretty strict Christian school, I'm worried the school wouldn't think to highly of it. I have considered emailing the principle and seeing what the administration thinks. The senior class has done a flash mob dance of Gangnam Style in the hallways so I don't think they're totally opposed to fun but sometimes they surprise me with what gets them bent out of shape."
Here is what The Washington Post wrote about the suspensions:
"According to the National Coalition against Censorship, about 100 students across the country have been suspended for making and posting their own version of the viral video on the Web. School districts have offered a variety of reasons for the suspensions, said NCAC Director Joan Bertin, with most saying that the videos, which feature suggestive dancing, are inappropriate. However, Bertin said, she believes that regardless of how the videos could be interpreted, decisions to suspend students and keep them out of class cross the line. The NCAC has compared the schools' actions to the plot of the 1984 film "Footloose," in which a town outlaws dancing and rock music."
"The FAA is trying to determine if some students violated any rules when they performed a popular dance during a flight from Colorado Springs to San Diego. Members of the Colorado College Ultimate team did the "Harlem Shake" in the aisles. "It seems a rather disproportionate response by educators to something that, at most, I would characterize as teenage hijinks," Bertin said."
"All technology shifts that give individuals a larger audience — from the printing press on, Bertin said — tend to make authority figures uncomfortable. More student censorship issues have emerged as young people gain more access to outlets for expression, such as the ability to post videos to YouTube, publish their thoughts on personal blogs and spread ideas through social media such as Facebook."
Here are some versions to check out:
Here are five Boy Scout groups' versions.
USA Today video about Minnesota students who were suspended
Would you let your child participate in a school version of the dance? Do you think its worth suspensions? Can it be done in a fun, non-offensive manner?
March 6th, 2013
6:17 am
People need to learn the origin of the dance. It was created by gangs in Harlem. They shot crippled people and would fall a certain way. The Harlem Shake was born after that.
March 6th, 2013
6:21 am
If the student wants to do the video, have him talk to the principal. He can present his idea. Mom needs to encourage son but not email school for him. Kid is a senior, he should be able to handle it.
I dont think we have enough information to comment on the suspension.
Sure my kids could participate if they want. Of course dancing can be more or less suggestive or lewd. With kids, I recommend less suggestive.
March 6th, 2013
7:51 am
Suggestive or not, it's a harmless thing that kids across the country are doing. If your school forbids it, just perform it in a manner that in no way represents the school.

More evidence that American culture continues on the downward slide.

Worth suspensions? There are too many variables to make an across the board judgment.
In the Mound video is does appear as pure chaos and like the students are out of control. It reminds me of a cafeteria food fight. A food fight would warrant suspensions and the suspensions wouldn't be questioned. Just because it is the "latest" fad doesn't mean it is appropriate in all settings.
I am interested in the permission that was given by the teacher. For the most part teachers need to get permission for anything "out of the norm" so I have a hard time believing the teacher authorized this specific "project." A Harlem Shake video … probably. A Harlem Shake video unstructured in the cafeteria … probably not.
I agree with FCM … the senior needs to talk the principal himself. Mom should not be involved.
March 6th, 2013
8:28 am
I would suspend the students for being at least two weeks late to jump on this meme.
March 6th, 2013
8:39 am
Sexually suggestive?? Hmm.. so what do they call the cheerleaders with barely there skirts and undies with but cheeks hanging out doing their dances??
Mike is right as to the origin of the Harlem Shake although I doubt most administrators have a clue as to it's origin. Additionally, the version going around on these viral YouTube videos isn't even the real version as it has more to do with the chorus in the dub-step song itself.
It's a dance craze that's hot right now, and personally, I think some of the videos are hilarious. If I was a senior, I would figure out a way to get it done, but not during instructional time and not in a suggestive way.
I also agree that mom needs to stay out of it. The son knows his teachers and administrators better than she. If her son wants to take the risk, he will either reap the rewards or the consequences. Either way, he is old enough to make that decision on his own.
March 6th, 2013

LOL @ Dennis, I was actually thinking the same thing!

Anyone dumb enough to even consider degrading themselves by jibbering around like a simian desreves more than a suspension.
March 6th, 2013
8:58 am
I'd say that there are about a million ways this could be done that is not offensive, suggestive or obscene. There are also another million ways that it COULD be offensive, suggestive or obscene. Interesting to see if her son knows the difference :-) My kids went to a fairly strict Christian school, and as long a they kept it clean, it would probably have gotten by. But her SON needs to talk to the principal, dean or headmaster – not momma! In six months, son will probably be away at college — if he hasn't started making these kinds of decisions for himself now, it's past time to start.

As for mike's "explanation" of the origin….how many handicapped people n Harlem have been shot by gangs?
I'm not going to the trouble to Snope it, but that sounds highly implausible.

I guess the Harlem Shake is the Gangnam Style of 2013. Fads come and fads go.
March 6th, 2013

It is a fad. They are worried about this? At least the students are coming together to do something creative. For goodness sakes the school cheerleading and dance teams do more suggestive dancing than these kids.
March 6th, 2013
10:34 am
I cannot believe that a responisble parent would want their child to do that dance!! Let alone film it and put it out there for all to see! I believe in freedom of expression and dancing but there has to be a line of what is exceptable in public.
March 6th, 2013

@ Jarvis ~ well, not sure if urbandictionary.com is a legit source of that info, but I had heard the same thing years ago as far as where it originated. not sure though.

Man, some people need to get a sense of humor!! It's just a dance people, and the videos are funny. Laughter is good for you, and so is letting loose every once in a while and just being goofy!! Heck, I would rather my kid make a Harlem Shake video than to be sexting!!! There are worse things than the Harlem Shake.
@A ~ I agree, it is sort of the Ganham Style of 2013. Actually NPR had an interesting story on it a few weeks ago. http://www.npr.org/blogs/therecord/2013/02/20/172517323/long-before-the-harlem-shake-we-did-the-shimmy

Only Psy can dance like Psy. Other's try his dance, but fail miserably. Same with the harlem shake. So what are we supposed to do after we get the bit in the first three milliseconds? Watch the whole video that stinks so bad Psy himself defected back to North Korea?
Suspension is the only course. This looks like a job for the Dekalb School Board. Whatever happened to them anyway? Tell me they din't make a video.
Begging here.
March 6th, 2013

I agree with oneofeach4me. I think it's funny and yes, it's a fad that will fade quickly but in the meantime, have fun with it.
I liked this statement: "All technology shifts that give individuals a larger audience — from the printing press on, Bertin said — tend to make authority figures uncomfortable." The authority within school always seem to be the ones grappling for control. Making a huge issue out of it seems to just add fuel to the fire for these students instead of letting them have their 30 seconds of fame and moving on.
March 6th, 2013

This across-the-board question cannot be answered with a generic answer as each situation is different. The circumstances of each video need to be considered. In too many instances we see a video or hear about an incident and judge it by one standard. Saying that something is just a dance does not take into account other aspects of the event that might warrent deeper consideration. We want all to be generic these days and have a one-size-fits-all approach. And, as we see time and again, that simply does not work. This is not a good question as it is too broad to really answer.
March 6th, 2013

Too much time on their hands.

"Saying that something is just a dance does not take into account other aspects of the event that might warrent deeper consideration."
In regards to the videos I have seen, there wasn't much that would warrant deeper consideration. That's not to say there aren't some out there or that it couldn't lead to that, however, my whole point was to say I don't think all the hoopla is necessary unless you see some teenagers doing things in the videos that are a danger to themselves or others or are morally incorrect. Other than that… have fun with it I say!!

My initial response was ARE YOU KIDDING ME? But being that many of Americans are living in a Conservative Republican dominated twilight zone with a mindset stuck in 1950's. Where theay long for a return to the days of JUNE CLEAVER and her clan. Anything is possible for today'd kids to be faced with a illogical decisioion.
My second response was should I have my HEAD EXAMINED for reading and then commenting on such Nonsense of a Topic. Especially when there far to many others with more pressing concerns that would be of a better interest to all of the readers. However, when one considers the source and I see the photo above. The answer becomes crystal clear!

I fail to see a cause for an uproar over these videos. In my day, these dances would have warranted an eyeroll from adults but little more. They certainly aren't as suggestive as the "humpty" dance. There are way too many uptight adults making a fuss over nothing.

(have not seen the videos, or even know what Harlem Shake is. . . other than probably another dance like Gangnam Style)
Dudes, if you're going to suspend students, at least give a good reason, not just because you're uncomfortable with people actually reflecting what they see in society.
The origin of the dance/music does not matter. It's what is popular.
The moral character of the students is what counts, not what the original artist intends. If they are just having a good time, then it's stupid to suspend kids for that.
Now, if there are classroom disruptions or lying about video equipment being used, then hey, that might be a real reason to suspend someone, but detention is probably a better bet than suspension.
Sheesh, are kids being suspended for every little thing these days? (asked as someone with no kids)
March 6th, 2013
2:03 pm
I love the Harlem Shakes videos. As with everything, you can push the line and make them too suggestive or you can exercise common sense and they are a lot of fun.
I think it would be a cute thing for the senior class to do but I also know that some schools will suspend you for the stupidest things….since we're talking about a "pretty strict Christian school" I'd get permission first before doing anything to jeopardize his senior year.
March 6th, 2013
2:19 pm
@LogicalDude – yes, schools suspend students constantly. When I was younger, if you got suspended from school, it was a huge deal. Now days it seems like that's the first response. My son's school does not even have ISS (in school suspension) as they say it's too costly. I can't really argue with that but it also means that it's not nearly as harsh a punishment as it used to be.
March 6th, 2013

The best school video of all time is "Hot for Teacher" by Van Halen. That video was made by fifth graders at a middle school in the Dekalb District before the present suspended board ruined everything. I think it won a Grammy.

@mike – Your story about the Harlem Shake starting because "cripple" people were being shot by gang members comes from urban dictionary (which, and I feel I must explain because you used the website as a source fact, is not a real dictionary or a credible source for information).
March 6th, 2013
4:08 pm
" In regards to the videos I have seen, there wasn't much that would warrant deeper consideration".
I did not realize that the only thing we needed to do was look at the video rather than examine all the circumstances around it. My mistake and I stand corrected for thinking that, in some instances, there might be things not filmed that administration took into consideration before issuing the suspensions.

I went and looked at several versions of the Harlem Shake last night. Denise is right this stuff is not the real deal.
The folks in Harlem that were interviewed, thought that these dancers might need psychiatric help. They looked silly, idiotic, and like space aliens, according to those interviewed.
One guy did what is the Harlem Shake and yes it is lots of movement but it has more purpose than the viral videos claim.
SO I investigated the 3 week old meme version of the dance. Turns out this dance crazy was started by Australian Surfers who just happened to use the Harlem Shake SONG to do their video too.
I have to say my favorite comment was that the people in these vidoes have no rhythym.

To the question….no, students should not be suspended for doing these videos 1. on their own time and 2. off campus. That way they are sure not to be disruptive or disrespectful to the administration or the hallowed halls of their monument to education (/sarcasm).
The issue is really if the kids are being disruptive. Lots of the videos have the participants going nuts and no, you just can't do that in the classroom or in the hall while changing classes. Maybe not even in the cafeteria either during lunch. All that can be disruptive and hard to control and eventually calm down. It's not like they stop laughing and playing around as soon as the camera is shut off. That is FUN and funny and who wouldn't want to keep talking about it and laughing about it. I know I rewind them and watch them at least twice if I think they are funny! (See the Miami Heat's video! Hilarious!)
Long story short, if they do it on their own time, and not on a school-sponsored activity, heck no they shouldn't be suspended. But then again, I'm one that thinks it is really out of line that teachers are fired for having wine in pictures from vacation on FaceBook. People have LIVES outside of school and as long as it is not illegal or immoral I don't think it's anybody's business. (I know, "immoral"…what is that?)

I was thinking the same thing.
The dance has nothing to do with people getting shot. I guess it's great to make stuff up.

BERLIN (Reuters) - European car sales last month plunged to the lowest level in two decades for May, further eroding manufacturers' hopes for a recovery this year.
Germany, France and Italy, accounting for about half of the embattled region's sales, suffered declines at or near double-digit percentage levels.
Registrations across the 27-nation European Union dropped 5.9 percent to 1.04 million cars from 1.11 million a year ago, the lowest since May 1993 when sales fell below 1 million, the Association of European Carmakers said on Tuesday.
A month earlier, EU-wide new car deliveries had risen for the first time in 19 months, though helped by extra sales days related to early Easter holidays.
After falling to a 17-year low in 2012, European car demand is expected to contract further this year, squeezing mass-market brands still harder between excess capacity and cut-throat pricing. Five-month EU sales fell 6.8 percent to 5.07 million vehicles.
The German market, which resisted much of last year's slump, shrank 8.8 percent over five months. Sales in France and Italy even fell 11.9 and 11.3 percent, respectively, as unemployment and austerity measures curb consumer spending.
By contrast, Britain remained a tower of strength. Europe's No. 2 market again posted sturdy growth of 11 percent in May, extending the year-to-date gain to 9.3 percent.
