   10-18-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Why would brands like Sue Bee honey and Cheerios cereal sponsor a NASCAR race? While most people can quickly see the relationship between a sponsor that makes tires or motor oil, not all corporate sponsors "fit" NASCAR in such an obvious way. In the first study to research the benefits of event sponsorship for brands that don't seem to fit with a particular event, researchers from the University of Queensland (Australia) reveal a relatively easy way for marketers to overcome a tenuous connection.

5. School achievement, perceptions of ability and interest change as children age
   03-26-2007 · EurekAlert!
   A new study shows that children's academic interests increasingly match the subjects in which they get the best grades as they progress from elementary through high school. The study tracked approximately 1000 children from first grade through twelfth grade. Boys and girls were found to have differing patterns. This specialization might help children focus on a certain field, yet a more generalist approach could be beneficial for a labor market that requires flexibility.
