Actually, Braniff went bust less than five years after this was made.
Braniff was the first airline I flew on, going from Oregon to Goosebay, Labrador. I had steak with sauteed mushrooms for the first time on that flight. Mmmmm.
How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Girding my loins. The guy who posted condescendingly in my LJ is back. Now I have to go read what he said, which is probably going to piss me off.
I need to concentrate on the pretty skirt I just bought instead.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Hee. Did people discuss/mention the Cruise apology? Huh. Not making me a fan by any definition, but better to apologize than not.
Yes. But strongly suspect he realized how much his antics have affected his public image. Or maybe he actually has some experience with PPD with Katie and the baby and realizes what an ass he really was.
Sounds like BS very graciously accepted the apology, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ok, I'm giving up. People apparently haven't decided to study the effects of high-stakes testing on other measures of achievement. I need a new topic.
Anyone have an idea for a "the effects of x on y" topic related to education that people will have actually studied?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Effects of birth order on behavior? Effects of one-parent households on academics? Effects of participating in a music program on future achievement?

Debet, is this for a research or a stats class? I looked at the effects of same-sex schools on student achievement. Lots of stuff, and it's pretty interesting, but the Magic 8ball says "Nothing conclusive."

Woe to the fucking wicked.
It's for my not-a-thesis. It's basically a lit review. More research than stats.
Same-sex sounds interesting and (hopefully) easy to find (this is increasingly becoming a priority). Let me ERIC, and see if there's usable stuff that pops up.
Music looks interesting, but like there's a lot of not-useful to wade through.

I think there were some studies indicating the people who heard music when they were young and people who studied music did better in math.
Effect of home schooling on college performance? Parents' level of education? Number of mysterious deaths in high school?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
See, the problem is that I don't want to do something that's well and truly settled.

Well, I can testify that playing classical music while my daughter did her homework helped her concentrate better. She started asking me to put in on for her!
