Shoppers in the Detroit, Michigan area have been pick pocketed by a group of hat wearing grannies. "The Mad Hatters" are responsible for half a million dollars worth of stolen merchandise. Their disguise? Hats! The video explains that the hats probably distract others from identifying them.
What do you think of the Mad Hatters? Are they original? Do they remind you of your grandmother? If they are arrested, what kind of punishment should they get? Can you think of a more clever disguise?

Do you think Osama Bin Laden's death photos should be released? Why or why not? Some are now questioning the legality of Bin Laden's killing. One international lawyer stated "It may not have been possible to take him alive, but no one should be outside the protection of the law. Even after the end of the second world war, Nazi war criminals were given a fair trial." How would you respond to those questioning whether or not Bin Laden's killing was legal?

Move Your Body!
The #1 YouTube video last week was Beyoncé's "Move Your Body" music video, even though her video had no special effects, costume changes, or celebrity guests. Beyoncé worked her magic and made Michelle Obama's fight against childhood obesity look cooler and more fashionable than ever before. The pop chart diva revamped her 2007 hit "Get Me Bodied," and dubbed the new version "Move Your Body" in support of the first lady's "Let's Move!" healthy eating campaign.
In the following behind-the-scenes clip, students discuss their struggles to make better eating choices, and Beyoncé explains her desire to help spread Michelle Obama's encouraging message. "It's all about promoting the benefits of healthy eating and exercise," she said. "But what we want to do is make it fun by doing something that we all love to do. And that's dance."
Now let's watch the video!
What did you think of Beyonce's video? Do you think Michelle Obama's fight against childhood obesity will be successful and/or make a difference? Will Beyonce's support help her campaign? Do you struggle with healthy eating and exercise? If so, does Michelle Obama's campaign and Beyonce's music video encourage you to do better? Why or why not?

Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
Sorry for being so sappy today, but I couldn't resist showing this video about a little boy named Teddy.
Everyone has a teacher that they'll always remember, and it's not always because he or she was the best teacher they ever had. Most of the time it's the teacher who took the most interest in you or the teacher who pushed you farther than you thought possible. For me, that teacher was Professor Lakatos, my college Accounting professor who made me feel like I could accomplish anything. Who has been your most inspiring teacher and why? What makes a teacher great?
