Precisely. Hell, a lot of people only watch it/DVR it for the commercials.
Not me though. I LOVE Football. I hope it's a good game this year.

1.How does the typical parenting expert best argue his point in order to make others agree with him?
a)Plant his flag firmly on one side of the argument and engage the public’s emotions; b)Carefully consider all sides of the issue before taking a specific position; c)Take out an expensive ad; d)All of the above.
2.Which emotion is more potent than the rest when someone is attempting to sway public opinion?
a)Fear; b)Love; c)Joy; d)Anger
3.How can we reconcile the finding that there is a positive correlation between having books in the home and a child’s test scores but there is no correlation between the fact that a child’s parents read to him almost every day and the child’s test scores?
a)The analysis obviously did not control for the type of books that are present in the home and this is the problem.
b)The analysis obviously did not control for the type of books parents read to their children and this is the problem.
c)The fact there is a positive correlation between books in the home and a child’s test scores is picking up the influence of what those children’s parents are, i.e., well educated.
d)We can’t. It’s further evidence that regression analysis is unreliable.
4.Overall, analysis of the ECLS data suggests that what is most important in a child’s development is:
a)what parents do and who they are.
b)neither what parents do nor who they are but rather something else altogether.
c)what parents do but not who they are.
d)what parents are but not what they do.
5.Briefly explain the meaning of Sandman’s equation: Risk = hazard + outrage. What does it say about the relationship between the perceived risk and the actual risk of many events?
6:
6.Assuming Jake Williams and DeShawn Williams are born in the same neighborhood and into the same familial and economic circumstances, it is likely that:
a)Jake and DeShawn will live extremely different lives based solely on their different names.
b)Jake and DeShawn will have similar life outcomes.
c)because of their different “race-related” names Jake and DeShawn will end up living in different neighborhoods when they grow up.
d)we have no idea what will happen.
7.Anyone who bothers to change his/her name in the pursuit of economic success is likely to succeed because:
a)he/she is motivated to succeed, not because of the name change.
b)the new name can give him/her more opportunities.
c)he/she will feel better about himself/herself.
d)a person’s name is the primary determinant of his/her success or failure.
8.Which of the following girls is most likely to be successful when they grow up?
a)A white girl named Molly whose mother was single and poorly educated.
b)A black girl named Ebony whose mother was highly educated and successful.
c)A white girl named Misty whose mother had a high school education.
d)A black girl named Claire whose mother had a high school education.
9.Levitt and Dubner’s discussion of “where does a name come from” shows us that:
a)high-income families often give their children unique names.
b)there is no correlation between a child’s name and the parent’s socioeconomic status.
c)movie stars and other “icons” have a large influence on name trends.
d)lower-income families will adopt names that catch on among high-income families over a short period of time.
10.Evaluate this statement; “The name a parent gives his or her child will have a significant effect on the child’s success. After all, the data show that certain names are associated with increased income.”
Now that you have some information on names, after you become highly educated, successful in your career and are above 30 years of age, provide 3 names you would consider for a boy and 3 for a girl. Tell us why. Provide the names of 3 supervisors in your organization.
LoL, online homework!

« on: February 01, 2009, 06:53:25 AM »Just a little reminder: the trailer for ROTF will air tomorrow, during the Super Bowl--third quarter to be exact. Michael Bay confirmed it won't reveal all too much as he isn't big on spoiling everything in one trailer.
Following the Super Bowl TV spot, it will be available online followed by yet another trailer before "Friday the 13th" (guaranteed to suck).
Most people will probably just wait till it shows up on the Internet.

Gaming / Re: Iwata: "Nintendo’s E3 2009 Software Aimed To Topple PS2"
« on: February 01, 2009, 06:52:06 AM »Like I said, there's one that's undeniable: Iwata is a marketing genius. He made it so that all these "Casual" games were the stuff that the Casual demographic couldn't get enough of. They are what gave Ninty a license to print money on the Wii and DS alike. Now they are, as the Penny Arcade comic put it bluntly "rich as [tornado fang]."
Now, let's just hope that I and others who think as I do are right, in the notion that now Ninty will USE that money in order to give us the goods.
That's my hope, pretty much!
