From 1973 to 1985, a generation of kids watching Saturday morning television learned the function of conjunctions and the preamble to the U.S. Constitution with the help of an animated series called Schoolhouse Rock! The brainchild of executives at McCaffrey and McCall Advertising, the three-minute segments combined whimsical cartoons with catchy music (rock was only one of the styles) to help kids learn seemingly dry topics as easily as they could learn popular songs. Multiplication Rock tackles the multiplication tables, covering numbers 0 through 12 (but not 1 or 10), and chances are few people who grew up watching can multiply by 3 or 5 without hearing the familiar voice of composer-singer Bob Dorough. Other underlying talent included jazz drummer Grady Tate ("I Got Six," "Naughty Number Nine") and jazz pianist Blossom Dearie ("Figure Eight"), who contributed vocals. (Subsequent installments would feature many other jazz musicians and songs written by jazz pianist-composer Dave Frishberg and future Broadway composer Lynn Ahrens, who at the time was a fledgling secretary for McCaffrey and McCall.) Years later, the series was considered so hip that now-grown-up rock stars rerecorded the songs, and Multiplication Rock includes a music video of "Electricity, Electricity" by Goodness. --David Horiuchi

Is your toddler nervous about starting kindergarten or preschool? Then this is the video to watch. One Saturday, Barney's friend Tina wishes she could take Barney to school with her, to show him all the fun things she learns every day. And suddenly, with a little help from Barney, she's at school! Together, Tina and her friends take Barney through the daily school routine--from greeting to exercising, reading the calendar, checking the weather, and then exploring the room. The children take Barney around the room to each learning center and show him what they do there. Children's demonstrations are punctuated with songs kids can sing along to. School looks like a lot of fun to Barney by the end of the day. Watching this a time or two should take the fear out of school, and will also help children know what to expect in their classroom environment and routine. --Elisabeth Keating

There are two types of Schoolhouse Rock fans. Type A: those who--inspired in the '70s and '80s by "Conjunction Junction" and "Interjections!"--went on to become grammar gurus, copyeditors, and computational linguists. And type B: those who--less inspired by grammar than by catchy refrains--can still sing lines that today sound less than P.C.:

Though Geraldine played hard to get (uh huh),
Geraldo knew he'd woo her yet.
He showed his affection,
Despite her objection,
And Geraldine hollered some interjections!

(Geraldo, if you'll recall, is a goat.) No matter. Both kinds of fans will enjoy revisiting these Saturday-morning shorts--and hopefully this video will find its way into classrooms, to boot. Clever teachers who grew up on this stuff will know how to make Schoolhouse Rock fans (ideally of type A) out of the next generation, too. --Erik Macki

So heres the deal. Last summer, I realized that I was a mediocre pitcher. So I borrowed my friends radar gun and realized that I topped off at 60 mph. I asked my friend on the high school baseball team how fast their pitchers threw and he said 65-75 mph. I realized I had to increase my velocity. So I put down the ball and I went and hit the gym. I strengthened my legs, arm, shoulder, and pretty much every muscle including my back and my chest. I never pitched at that time. Today when baseball tryouts are coming up, I decided to see my progress and I finally pitched again. I sadly discovered that my shoulder felt weird when I was throwing the ball and the catcher actually said that he thought my fastball was slower than before. I unfortunately didn?t have the radar gun to confirm it but I too thought it was slower. I think that since I haven?t pitched in such a long time then I?ve got a stiff shoulder. What should I do?! Should I stretch or is there anything else that I can try? Please help! Baseball tryouts are coming in a month and I have to get myself ready! Thank you. (more...)

I have social anxiety and I am really nervous and scared about starting a new high school in a few weeks. It is so bad that I sweat horribly when I think about it (which is very often!), I can't sleep at night and I've started to get headaches and nightmares. I'm also going from a school that has 200 students to a school with 2000 none of which I know. I really don't want to have to turn to medication. Please help!! (more...)

I just moved to Florida from Texas in June, so im brand new to my school. Just a few days ago a boy caught my eye, i told my friend i thought he was cute and now i will never live it down. He's a tall, long haired blonde skater; the kind of guy i would be friends with if i were in Texas. Ever since i moved here i have become the little shy girl; i don't care for it. In have never spoken a single word to this guy but he seems like the kind of person i could really be friends with. He's friends with a boy on my bus; he seems like a great guy too but it has become a lost cause because oh so often i will see the perfect opportunity to talk to him and i won't. I I'm tired of being invisible. How do i get the attention of a guy i don't know, don't have any classes with; and doesn't even know i exist? I'm not really close to the guy on my bus; as a matter of fact i barely say more than 2-3 sentences to him on a good day. (more...)

alright ima sophomore in highschool and shes a freshman. I said that caus freshman girls go through the most change i have ever seen when exposed to high school life. anyways, she said she liked me abotu 3 weeks ago, but i wasnt real sure if i wanted a relationship so i backed off, now i realize i do want a relationship, i told her how i feel, and she said she isnt lookin for a relationship. Now, she is very retaracted when talking to me, not invlolved in the conversations like she used to be, and its just awkward to be around her, i feel like im being an over obsessed stalker. which im not, cause like when we talk we're spastic, but now shes quiet, and im being spastic, so i feel real akward. Does anybody know how she feels (girls?) and what should i do next, i mean i dont like her anymore, i dont want anything but friendship now. (more...)
