Grade-school students baffled as brands including Nike, iPods and Barbies appear in exam papers Daily Mail (UK) ^ \| 21 April 2014 \| Suzannah Hills The use of well-known brand names in school tests has led to accusations that education boards are making product placement deals. Nike, Barbie and iPod were among the more famous brands to have appeared in a recent New York Common Core standardized English test taken by more than a million students in grades three to eight. Other brands included Life Savers and Mug Root Beer. Outraged parents have demanded an explanation for why specific brand names were used in the tests - with some suggesting they've become little more than just another way of advertising to young children. But New York state education officials and the test publisher insist the brand references were not paid product placement and just happened to be contained in previously published passages selected for the tests. One mother Deborah Poppe, from West Hempstead, Long Island, claimed her eighth-grade son complained to her about named brands in the test. In one question a busboy failed to clean some spilled root beer — Mug Root Beer, to be exact, a registered trademark of PepsiCo. She said her son asked: 'Why are they trying to sell me something during the test?', adding: 'He's bright enough to realize that it was almost like a commercial.' Others claimed Nike appeared in a question about being a risk taker and included the line: '"Just Do It" is a registered trademark of Nike'. Sam Pirozzolo, from Staten Island, whose fifth-grader encountered the Nike question, said there was apparently no reason for such a specific brand. 'I'm sure they could have used a historical figure who took risks and invented things. I'm sure they could have found something other than Nike to express their point.'

Obama is bailing out the 1%, reimbursing them for their housing crash losses, giving them free money to borrow to make more bubbles, such a deal ted. Did you get any?

Ted (and others), if you have the time, I highly recommend reading this article/blog entry: How Burrowing Owls Lead To Vomiting Anarchists (Or SF’s Housing Crisis Explained) The causes of the "housing crisis" here in Northern California are numerous. Some are uniquely Californian, but most of them are similar to those that are having an effect in other real estate markets. The solution would be simple if there were any Republicans in local government (namely, vote the bums out), but there aren't. Instead, this is a fundamental hypocrisy among California Democrats, that they enjoy the money even as they rail against the unequal distribution thereof. And that hypocrisy is not likely to change, at least not in the next 10 years. Tenchusatsu
