According to the latest survey of Things Americans Are Ignorant About, high school and middle school students don't know much about civics. The report, released two weeks ago, comes on the heels of an April poll by CNN and the Opinion Research Corp. that disclosed that most Americans are ignorant about the federal budget (median sample answer to the question of what percentage of the budget is spent on the Corporation for Public Broadcasting: 5 percent, or $175 billion a year. Correct answer: about 1/8,000 of the budget, or $441 million).

This paper examines the determinants of movie rental revenue in the United States. The sample consists of 214 films released during 2006. Regression results indicate the primary determinants of video movie revenue are domestic box office, time to video, academy award nominations, sequels, children's movies, and domestic release exposure. Specific results include the observation that domestic box office revenue serves as a complement to movie rental revenue and time to video is inversely related to video revenue as motion picture companies take advantage of marketing economies of scale. Branding associated with an academy award nomination is worth over a million dollars in rental revenue and sequels are worth six million less than alternative releases. Children's movies are worth ten mil...

HOUSTON, Sept. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas' 82nd Legislature cut spending on public education in the 2010-2011 school year by $5.4 billion, including $4 billion from the Foundation School Program. Although the dollar expenditure of the cuts has been widely discussed, comprehensive information on how the cuts affected school districts and the impact these cuts had on Texas students is lacking.
