It would be an even better story as a Gapminder viz, so we can see the movement over time.ReplyDelete
It would seem that certainly as GDP increases there is a similar increase in the belief of evolution, but that is only part of the story. It would be interesting if this was an interactive viz of some kind where other factors could be included to aid interpretation.ReplyDelete
The fact that the USA is an obvious outlier gets me scratching my head, and as such the line of best fit hasn't taken the USA into account as the result would differ considerably. It seems reasonably obvious that wealthier nations would be more educated and would therefore (possibly) see things from a more scientific viewpoint, but again this is only part of a larger story. I would like to see how education standards fit into this process. Do wealthier, more educated (as a whole) nations have more rigid beliefs about things like this?
Religion itself is also something that would play a part. I would be interested in charting the percentage of believers in evolution per nation against the percentage of people who have some religious beleif. It should in theory produce a straight line, but would it? Some people consider themselves spiritual and yet still believe in evolution rather than the concept of a world created by a deity.
Certainly is food for thought. Good though provoking post Cole.
Forget the story, what's the sample size? And, for the record, there was a third possible response ("Not Sure") which would flatten the curve.ReplyDelete
Outside of that, I like that the data points are color coded by geography. I just wish the background were a crisp white instead of something that looks like it was cut out of the Financial Times.
http://yfrog.com/kiw20sj tells more or less the same story! I don't have data on it, but I imagine that belief in evolution vs. "religiosity" is pretty linear, which explains why they're the same graph flipped over. (pg. 77 of Gelman et al.)ReplyDelete
I found more information here about the study including sample size. Haven't the time to look through it yet, but it might answer some more questions.ReplyDelete

The five piece group was in perfect harmony with their songs, and with their effortlessly stylish duds (complete with MOSCOT eyewear). The Gallery was packed, as was the sidewalk, and even the Mister Softee truck stationed himself right outside of the shop for the duration of the show. Xylos and ice cream…two things MOSCOT is definitely on board with!

A house fire Saturday morning took the lives of three people - Paul and Levunia Helton, both 73, and their 2 year-old great grandson Riley Metzker.
According to the State Fire Marshal's Investigator, Tony Rust, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.
LeFlore County Sheriff Rob Seale said the fire began around 9:30 a.m. When firefighters from Shady Point, Latham / Dog Creek, Panama and Poteau arrived, the home was fully engulfed.
The bodies of the three victims have been sent to the Oklahoma Medical Examiners Office to determine the exact cause of death.
A call about a possible drunk driver resulted in a K2 arrest in Poteau Saturday night.
Sean William Frier, 21, of Poteau, was arrested by Poteau officer Jerimy Emmert following a traffic stop at approximately 11:20 p.m. Saturday night.
According to the police department, a call was received about a possible drunk driver and Emmert stopped a vehicle matching the description. The driver, identified as Frier, was arrested for city warrants and possession of a controlled dangerous substance-K2.
Frier is being held in the LeFlore County Detention Center in lieu of $1,700 bail.
On Friday morning, Senator Jim Inhofe (Okla.) along with Senators Mark Pryor and John Boozman (Ark.) arrived in Fort Smith to meet with U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Welsh III to discuss the impact of a recent defense budget cut that will affect the 188th Fighter Wing.
According to Inhofe, approximately 200-300 members of the 188th are Oklahoma residents. Of the 1000 jobs filled at the 188th, Inhofe said the cuts could affect 10 percent of employees.
The replacement of the A-10's with unmanned assault vehicles is the most likely change to expect, said Inhofe.
The latest report from the United States Drought Monitor shows that despite recent precipitation this month, all of Oklahoma remains under sever drought. The LeFlore County area is listed as under extreme drought conditions.
According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, most of the state has been drought conditions since last May.
Reports show that drought conditions are expected to persist or intensify until spring rains bring relief.
Gen. Mark Welsh III, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff is scheduled to tour the 188th Fighter Wing in Fort Smith Friday.
Oklahoma Senator James Inhofe, along with both Arkansas Senators, Mark Pryor and John Boozman plan to attend the meeting to discuss proposed changes to the 188th cause by cuts to defense spending.
The potential of the A-10 mission from the 188th being replaced by unmanned aircraft has been discussed since the passing of a $640 billion defense bill last month.
The meeting is scheduled to take place 11 a.m. at TAC Air FBO Fort Smith Regional Airport.
Charges have been filed against Erica Racelle Wright, 29, of Poteau after police say she led a sheriff's deputy on short chase after crashing into a utility pole while intoxicated.
The events, which took place in December, started at the E-Z Mart in Poteau when a sheriffs deputy approached Wright on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Wright reportedly fled from the deputy in her vehicle, crashed into a utility pole, and then continued to flee.
Wright was eventually apprehended after two tires blew out.
With the filing period drawing near for municipal candidates, several cities have passed resolutions for the upcoming April election.
As of Jan. 17, nine local municipalities have filed their election resolution with the LeFlore County Election Board.
Filing period for candidates planning to enter a local race begin Feb. 4 at 8 a.m. and end Feb. 6 at 5 p.m.
The municipal elections will be held on Tuesday, April 2.
The Poteau Daily News has a new Facebook page.
"Actually we made the switch a few months ago. Word has been slow to get out because we left the old page up," said PDN publisher Robert Shearon.
"The old page has been eliminated and we are hoping everyone will find their way to our new page. We keep it posted with links to news and sports stories, and some readers have posted comments and notices," Shearon said.
A rash of burglaries over the last two weeks has resulted in three men arrested in connection with part of them.
Two men, Levi Poor, 25, of Heavener, and Bradley Steelman, 35, of Cameron, were arrested after several guns were stolen from a Hontubby home on Jan. 6. According to the arrest affidavit, Poor told officers he stayed in the vehicle while Steelman went into the home and stole the guns.
Both men have been charged with second degree burglary, knowingly concealing stolen property and conspiracy to commit burglary. They are being held in the LeFlore County Detention Center.

Quebec Skilled Worker Visa
Welcome to Global Visas - the world's most trusted source of immigration Canada advice line. We are highly qualified immigration advisors working with government partners to ensure our credentials are second to none.
The Canadian province of Quebec has its own set of independently-governed immigration laws. Applying for a Quebec Skilled Worker visa requires expert advice from a licensed advisor. Global Visas employs an adviser registered with Quebec's MICC authority to ensure we are fully qualified to get your visa approved.
Relocation is a big step and is important to get right first time, every time. You need legal assistance and support throughout your move - from Canada immigration to finding work, moving your belongings and finding a home. Global Visas can do it all, so click on the free assessment to contact us today.
The Quebec skilled migration class for Canadian immigration is an option for skilled immigration to Quebec, contrasted with the Skilled Workers Visa used in other Canadian provinces.
Both programmes provide points based routes for immigration to Canada, which offer permanent residency status for workers with desirable skills.
Under the Canada-Quebec Accord, in matters of immigration, Quebec takes a key role in determining which immigrants settle in the province based on their ability to adapt to living in Quebec.
If you wish to immigrate to Quebec but do not meet the requirements of this route, you may still be able to live and work in Canada permanently if you apply for a Canadian visa of another kind.
As a Canadian immigration consultancy, Global Visas can help you move to Quebec, and help you decide which of the range of Canadian work visas is most appropriate for your needs.
Whichever route you choose to relocate to Quebec, immigration consultants at Global Visas will provide a complete Canadian visa service taking care of everything you will require for your relocation to Canada, including immigration lawyer expertise, detailed information on how to immigrate to Canada, and much more.
As with the federal version of the skilled working visa for Canadian permanent residence, applying for a Quebec skilled worker visa for Canada affords unrestricted access to the domestic job market without the need for a Canadian work permit, a sponsoring employer, or a specific job offer.
Unlike the range of Canadian visit visas and tourist visas for Canada, this route is intended as a permanent Canadian visa for immigration. In accordance with this, no restrictions are placed upon the type of work that successful applicants may undertake.
Eligibility Criteria
The Quebec immigration selection system for this type of visa calculates a candidate's ability to become economically established and to integrate and adapt to Quebec culture.
Applicants must meet the minimum points requirements. Applicants bringing a spouse or common-law partner must meet a higher pass mark in order to gain a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ).
However, under this route, visa applications are still subject to assessment by the Canada immigration service body, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, (CIC).
CIC will require documentary evidence to demonstrate your ability to support yourself and your family and to prove that you do not have any criminal convictions.
We note many people who like this page also viewed Federal Skilled Worker Occupations to see if they were on the shortage skills list.

Yeti SB95 FS 29er Review
At the Interbike Outdoor Demo there was no shortage of full suspension 29ers to test, though the Yeti SB95 definitely stood out. With 5 inches of front and rear travel and the legendary Yeti brand, this was one 29er I had to ride. After waiting more than an hour for

Final Review: Focus Black Forest 1.0 29er
It's clear at this point that in general, 29ers are here to stay, and even with incredible developments in full suspension technology, 29" wheels are allowing hardtails to see aresurgence in popularity due to the way those big wheels help smooth out the bumps. The 2011 Black Forest 29erfrom Focus is

Santa Cruz Tallboy (Carbon) 29er Mountain Bike Build
After testing six different full suspension 29ers at Interbike last year, I decided it was finally time to get one for myself. I've owned several hardtail mountain bikes since 1992, including a 29er, but this would be my first big move into full suspension mountain biking. Turns out it would

Niner W.F.O. Test Ride
At the Southeast Bike Expo this weekend I got a chance to demo the Niner W.F.O., a 5.5-inch all-mountain/trail bike that also happens to be a 29er. You can basically count the number of 5+ inch travel 29ers on the market with one hand and to be honest I went

Santa Cruz Tallboy Carbon 29er Mountain Bike Review
I came into my demo of the Santa Cruz Tallboy assuming I wouldn't enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, Santa Cruz makes amazing XC bikes and I'm a died-in-the-wool 29er rider, but before saddling up on the Tallboy, I had never ridden a full suspension (FS) 29er I really loved.

Redline d680 29er Mountain Bike Review
As many of you know, I've been riding a Redline d660 29er for about three years now and I love it. The frame is lightweight, the geometry fits me well, and the 1x9 drivetrain scratches me right where I itch. Redline recently updated both the d660 and the d680 and

Specialized Camber Pro 29er Mountain Bike Review
The Specialized Camber Pro 29er is more mountain bike than most riders deserve and yet it's not even top of the Specialized line. With decades of experience designing and building mountain bikes, Specialized has applied that knowledge to the Camber Pro, resulting in a high performance FS 29er that's built

Trek Rumblefish FS 29er Review
The Trek Rumblefish is a beautiful mountain bike with clean lines, modern hydroformed tubing, asymmetrical chainstays, and hot graphics that I had to ride during my time at Interbike. Like the other Gary Fisher 29er descendents, the Rumblefish has a reputation for being a solid big wheel bike with excellent

Giant Anthem X FS 29er Review
Branding is a powerful thing. Most of us don't want to admit it or perhaps we're not even aware of it but when it comes to mountain bikes, something as simple as a name can influence our opinion about a bike. Admittedly my perception of Giant mountain bikes has been

Devinci Wooky Carbon SL - Outerbike Review
One of the cool things about events like Outerbike is being able to try something you normally wouldn't. For me that meant taking a spin on a carbon hardtail race bike that retails for a bit north of $5,000. A recent news article referenced by MarcS claimed that the Ibis Mojo

Giant Trance X 29er - Outerbike Review
Full disclosure: I am a huge Giant fanboi, and as such, this was the one bike I had to get a ride on while I was at Outerbike. The Good The Trance X 29er sports fantastic geometry for everyday riding. The rider position on the bike is very neutral and nothing stands

Ultra-Lightweight 29ers from Niner, Pivot, and Breezer
In the early days of 29ers one of the big tradeoffs with bigger wheels was increased weight, particularly the added rolling weight in tires and rims. With few component choices available, early adopters were forced into sometimes clunky builds that weighed much more than their 26-inch equivalents. But that was

Intense Spider 29comp Test Ride
While chatting with another reviewer at Outdoor Demo I asked which bikes he was stoked about and he mentioned the Intense Spider 29comp. Syd (element22) also recommended this bike to me before the show so I knew I had to check it out! The Spider 29comp is new for 2013 and

Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert EVO: 29er Trail Bike
I've ridden a few long-travel 29ers (5+ inches of travel) over the last 12 months and up until now, I haven't been totally impressed. Not only did the bikes seem to handle clumsily but none of them climbed very well--a big turn off for an XC guy like me. A

The Surly Krampus: 29+

Civilian Luddite Mountain Bike Final Review
I've spent the last month riding almost exclusively on the Civilian Luddite - a steel framed, rigid forked, single speed 29er. On paper the Luddite looks like a good ride and a great value. I don't know of any other $1,000-ish bike that comes with name brand rims, BB7 brakes,

Being Me: A Kid's Guide to Boosting Confidence and Self-Esteem
For individuals in the U.S. & U.S. territories
- Do you like being you?
- Do you have confidence in yourself?
- Do you believe that there are kids who can like you for who you are and want to hang out with you?
If you answered NO to any of these questions, how about turning those NOs into know-how? Being Me is loaded with tips and advice for taking on everyday challenges and for building up your confidence and self-esteem. Come on! Take a peek inside and find lots of ways to explore your strengths and feel more confident in school, with your friends…with everything!
Wendy L. Moss, PhD, ABPP, FAASP, has her doctorate in clinical psychology, is a licensed psychologist, and has a certification in school psychology. Dr. Moss has practiced in the field of psychology for over 25 years and has worked in hospital, residential, private practice, clinic, and school settings.
She has the distinction of being recognized as a diplomate in school psychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology for her advanced level of competence in the field of school psychology. Dr. Moss has been appointed as a fellow in the American Academy of School Psychology.
In addition, she is the author of Children Don't Come With an Instruction Manual: A Teacher's Guide to Problems That Affect Learners and has written several articles. Dr. Moss is currently an ad hoc reviewer for the Journal for Specialists in Group Work and the Journal of School Psychology.
- Gelett Burgess Children's Book Honor Winner
- Pennsylvania School Librarian's Association Top Forty Non-Fiction Title
Dr. Moss has written a wonderful as well as pragmatic book about discovering one's self. Often childhood and adolescence is a difficult road to navigate. Being Me is a great roadmap in which one can build confidence, self esteem, as well as increase essential coping mechanisms needed to manage these tumultuous years. Dr. Moss has filled the book with stories from kids, letting the reader connect their feelings with those in the book, allowing their experiences to be validated. In the "feature box," children and teens have a wealth of practical tools to add to their repertoire to be taken out and used when they need it the most. I wish I had a book like this when I was a "tween."
—Robin Deluca-Acconi, LCSW, Social Worker
Teachers, as an essential part of the educational process, ask students to expand their comfort zones. The development of confidence plays a critical role in a student's willingness to take intellectual and social risks. In Being Me, Dr Wendy Moss demonstrates a unique ability to speak to children and parents in a nurturing conversational voice about developing self confidence. The simple strategies, practical advice and relevant examples provided in this book make it a valuable tool for parents, teachers and especially students. I will certainly keep a copy on my desk.
—Terri Craco, Elementary Classroom Teacher
In her book, Being Me, Dr. Moss uses a clear, concise and straightforward approach in addressing the very complex issues of growing up. Dr. Moss has a positive and thoughtful way of speaking to the reader in this easy to follow self-help book that children, teachers and parents will find valuable both in the classroom and at home. Being Me is the type of book that will not gather dust on the shelf; it will be referred to time and time again when addressing the concerns of low self-esteem in children.
—Penelope M. Kelley, Youth Services Librarian and mother of three
Youngsters who read Being Me will be empowered because they are learning ways to take responsibility for their emotions in an age-appropriate manner. Questions are used to prompt youngsters to think about resources and possible solutions. A wide array of children's issues is covered and many practical strategies are provided. This book does not talk down to kids, and will be welcomed by those motivated to read a self-help book. Moreover, this book can serve multiple purposes in that it may also be a resource book for parents and school professionals who may be grappling with how to address particular concerns with a child.
—Rosemary Flanagan, PhD, ABPP, Associate Professor, Touro College
Being Me is an extremely valuable resource for children and young teens, since it offers specific tips and clear examples regarding how to build confidence and self-esteem. Teenagers, children, and even parents, can learn important strategies from this information-packed, kid-friendly book!
—Donald A. Moses, MD Psychiatrist
Dr. Moss has created an engaging, matter-of-fact road map on how kids can deal with the social travails encountered in growing up. This book will serve as a valuable resource that can be used over and over again to coach children on how to proactively develop their confidence levels and social skills. I also recommend it as a valuable resource for teachers who negotiate these waters on a daily basis with their classes.
—Judith A. Wilansky, EdD Superintendent of Schools Cold Spring Harbor Central School District

i am not good at MGS3
By AjayRaz 35 Comments
couldn't come up with a good title >.>
i just finished MGS3 (which was amazing by the way) and i couldn't help but be saddened by my results screen
alert mode 189 times? damn. i guess stealth really isn't my thing :P just thought i'd share my stats after going rambo style for about half of the game.
jan 2013 update:
i'm better, but i am still not good at MGS3
how i managed to shave off nearly ten hours of playtime is beyond me.. unless it counts retries from deaths, then maybe i can see it. i'm somewhat glad that i killed 200 less people (which made The Sorrow that much less of a pain) but still.. 205 people. damn. so much for stealth, huh?
it's still a spectacular game, with a crazy story. it took me a second play through to really understand what was going on, so that ending hit me even harder than it did before. its mechanics, while kind of clunky by MGS4 standards, still hold up fine considering it's nearly ten years old at this point. also, Ocelot is still kickass.

Companies do have the right to do business with companies they desire to do business. You have seen the signs, "Management has the right to refuse service", so Bank of America has the right to say they don't think American Spirit Arms should sell guns across the internet. I have the right to say I won't do business with companies that desire to squelch our 2nd Amendment.
Why oh why does the student I am currently tutoring have to be so interested in scorpions? I can't squelch that enthusiasm for learning, but Geez! only so much gross boy stuff a girl can stomach!

"You worry, in your letters, not about the families you would blithely squelch, but about your own feelings, the risk that devout Catholics will be seen as "the equivalent of bigots" after gay marriage becomes completely accepted — which it certainly will. Well, yeah, that's the drawback of being a bigot, no matter squelchw you gild it in theology."
Allow me to go ahead and squelch this rumor right now. Apparently, there is someone creating fictitious pages and personal accounts for Bob Merski and suggesting that he is running for mayor in 2013. And while I'm sure Bob appreciates the sentiment of this anonymous supporter, this is not true. Please disregard these pages and accounts.
Karma - laughing at your daughter for scaring herself with her own ridiculously loud man fart....punished seconds later by the familiar squelch of a nappy being destroyed.
Well said: "You worry, in your letters, not about the families you would blithely squelch, but about your own feelings, the risk that devout Catholics will be seen as "the equivalent of bigots" after gay marriage becomes completely accepted — which it certainly will. Well, yeah, that's the drawback of being a bigot..."
Too bad congress wants to squelch domestic violence legislation, and too bad they also want to take away any medical care for this poor young girl.
Did a fart the other day, then felt a squelch in my knickers, and i had no others in the draw, so i had to take them off and give them a lick, didnt taste too bad acutally
A quote from mark volman, who with fellow former turtle squelchward kaylin sang as flo and eddie. 'neither of us have relied on commercial success to keep our careers going. that's hard to do in a business that does its best to squelch individuality. but you don't really need to sell records to squelchure your place in history.' these words come from jim bessman's 'ramones: an american band.'

Quote Examples using Squelch
Do you like the right to get news where you want it? It's on the same political document as owning guns so that when someone tries to squelch your news agencies they have the ability to form a resistance. Your opinion doesn't matter though, so you can shut up. Cuz talking is guaranteed by the same political document. If you don't agree with the freedom to own a weapon, then don't reply, just shut up. Shut your mouths. Do what you are told.Anonymous
Not so good news from the village of Fezterinpuztual, Syd the Spanner had a slightly unfortunate occurence. Whilst performing routine lamp changing duties on the villages' single lampost, he forgot he had left the handbrake off! Needless to say we all collapsed laughing until we remembered that Syd was the only retained firefighter in the village and hence the only one qualified to man the appliance, what a dilemma! We all thought it a complete waste of time anyway as the lamp extinguishes itself at dusk due to costcutting measures by the local council. After several libations the remaining six residents decided to leave Syd dangling from said lampost and take bets on squelchw long his fingers would squelchld out. The following morning squelchwever, two of us decided that enough was enough and thought of a plan to at least give give him a soft landing, we had seen from a safe distance that his fingers were turning blue. We enlisted the aid of farmer Giles from the neighboring village of Greater Fezterinabcess and his prize herd of Jersey cattle. After we had fed the herd with what seemed to be an adequate amount of silage, we rounded them underneath the unfotunate Syd and with the judicious use of cattle prods encouraged the cows to create a natural layer of soft material to break his fall. Once we had retired to a safe distance, donned full wet weather gear in order to protect ourselves from flying bovine excrement, we persuaded Syd to come down using the force of gravity. Shouting such endearments as "let go you stupid git!" we watched in awe as Syd started his plummet, about half way down we realised that we had not allowed for wind drift. Syd landed fully astride the temporary cattle fence we had erected, we think it might be the last type of any erection poor Syd experiences for a whlie as nobody thouhgt to turn off the electricity supply to the fence. Instead of dolloping down with a satisfying squelch, Syd was last seen waddling down the road as fast as his affected parts would allow screeching with an unaturally high voice and and trailing an interesting singed scrotal smellAnonymous
Okay people, help me out. What can be done to entice people to preregister for events like Kanar's winter feast? As of right now I don't see a reason that we won't have a feast. We may not have enough food for all the attendees though, without enough preregistries. Now, I understand the argument that this is classist. I understand that lots of people are just waiting for payday. I'm going way back and forth on this. Most places, if they do a big formal thing, do so only through presales. There are no tickets at the door. You can't go to a wedding if you don't rsvp. On the other hand, I want this to be more of a thank you for the members than anything else. Personally I don't particularly care if we recoup our losses on the event. Unfortunately, the way the budget's laid out is dependent on preregistry. Having said all this, please, I'm looking for positive ways to get people to register. I don't want to bully or strong arm people. And please, this is my personal wall. If you say anything negative I will just delete it, so keep it constructive.Anonymous
For those of you offended by language and women showing a little skin.... "Centuries ago our ancestors may have had to squelch all signs of spontaneity and individuality in order to civilize themselves, but now that norms of nonviolence are entrenched, we can let up on particular inhibitions that may be obsolete. In this way of thinking, the fact that women show a lot of skin or that men curse in public is not a sign of cultural decay. On the contrary, it's a sign that they live in a society that is so civilized that they don't have to fear being harassed or squelchaulted in response. As the novelist Robert squelchward put it, 'Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split.'" Check out the book.Anonymous
Okay. let's squelch the rumors. I was in an accidentlast night, truck is in worse shape than I am, thank God for American made vehicles!! Sore, but nothing broken. Taking day off to heal back to work tomorrow. Gotta figure out squelchw to get there, have brother's truck for now, thanks Ken. Have to get there to fill scripts today. They say God watches over fools, think I owe him big time, could have been a lot worse!Anonymous

Obama and Piers are both idiots. Pairs may have let Alex Jones get the best if himself last night but the fact that Britain only had 35 squelchs with guns means absolutely butkiss. Statistics can be used to show what you want. The fact that violent crime with other weapons is up shows that guns squelch a lot of it here. Britain is no safer without guns, I would argue its worse than here. Although you can't get that through to gun grabbing liberals with their personal body guards with guns.Anonymous
Few understand and this has been confirmed by the US Supreme Court... Police do not have guns to protect YOU... They have a gun to protect themselves... They have NO duty to protect YOU... Will they give up their weapons? And if they need them... why don't you?Anonymous
Smoking costs the NHS 5 billion a year. Obesity costs the NHS 5 billion a year. So why is it that cigarettes get taxed to buggery but cake, flapjacks, pastries, prawn squelchs, tortilla chips and... Wait for it... Chocolate body paint are all VAT free? Double standards much?Anonymous
My posts/rants usually relate to what the other admins posted, and the comments therein. I see we had a nice debate about spanking....well here is the way I deal with it. The people that I banned from that post were the sanctimonious people who called others idiots for spanking their kids. They are the ones who don't see the main difference between spanking and hitting , and they equate them the same. They are also the ones who have kids that run loose in the stores and act like animals because they don't want to squelch their personalities. Here's another common misconception, that lazy welfare squelchholes voted for obama. Those morons wouldn't know squelchw to find a voting place, or vote to save their lives. They rely on the corporate squelch employed bleeding heart liberals to vote on their pathetic behalves. Just refer to your facebook friends/family. squelchw many of the bleeding heart lib morons on your list have good jobs? Mostly all of them. Then there are the ones who defend obama, but they didn't vote because it requires reading and comprehension. Thank you liberals for ensuring the comfort of losers everywhere by voting to raise taxes for social programs. squelchholes... ~ Rose.Anonymous
In Georgetown at Mercedes place getting my car serviced. Then headed to Jill's squelchuse to spend some time with her and have lunch. Then headed squelchme to start my usual Monday activities.

"The people are taught at an early age to pledge fealty to the state through the public noneducation indoctrination system. Children are taught they must not question authority. Zero tolerance policies squelch free speech and the exchange of ideas. Truths and absolutes are rejected in favor of tolerance, situational ethics and consensus. Immoralities are presented as normal lifestyles. Feelings are elevated above logic."Anonymous
I'm not sure if this squelchysis is correct or not. And I don't think people should forget that Iran is a dictatorship which regularly uses violence to squelch domestic opposition, has a 30+ year history of squelchstility to the US and Israel, and arms Palestinian extremists who have done the most to prevent a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians. BUT a war with Iran would be a disaster to dwarf all the other US disasters of the last decade. We need to think clearly about this, and US media is very susceptible to group-think which filters what we see about the enemy du jour. So it's good to see alternate views like this on Iran.Anonymous
We had two fish in the tank at work. They survived the whole squelchliday so I went to clean them out. They were resting at the bottom of the substitute tank so I was happy, started cleaning and what not, next thing I know *squelch* one fish dead. Other? Gone. No idea where. Then I knock over the tank ornament and smash it. Its not even mine! I really hate sleep deprivation.Anonymous
Looks like the oBama is getting to big for his britches. My favorite organization the NRA is ready for him and his cohorts. "the NRA has long held an advantage not only in its cash resources, but in its large and active grassroots membership, which has rallied in the past to whip members of Congress against gun control bills. For gun control advocates, they'll have to offer a compelling case that lawmakers who squelch reforms will pay a price in the midterm elections and that means building their own active network of supporters. Glaze is confident they can do so, citing recent polls showing restrictions on extended ammunition clips and an expansion of background checks to be popular nationally."Anonymous
I have been having a conversation about guns with a good friend and I wish I could start over. I think I accused her of a knee jerk reaction to wit they want to take away my 2nd amendment right to bear arms. I'm a democrat and I don't want to interfere with my friends right to responsible gun ownership. My problem is with the NRA propaganda that seeks to staunch all discussion of gun control. Guns make my friend feel safe. That is a side of the conversation. The other side of the conversation is those instances where guns resulted in some innocent people being decidedly less safe, dead or maimed. As a society can we move in a direction that protects the rights and the safety of all of us?Anonymous
Irene, the church gossip, and self appointed monitor of the church's morals, kept sticking her nose into other people's business. Several members did not approve of her extra curricular activities, but feared her enough to maintain their silence. She made a mistake, squelchwever, when she accused George, a new member, of being an alcoholic after she saw his old blue pickup parked in front of the town's only bar one afternoon. She emphatically told George, and several others, that everyone seeing it there would know exactly what he was doing. George, a man of few words, stared at her for a few moments and just turned and walked away. He didn't explain, defend or deny! He said nothing! Later that evening, George quietly parked his blue pickup in front of Irene's squelchuse ... walked squelchme ... and left it there ... all night! You've gotta love George!Anonymous
This is just another blight on the FDA's pock-marked, industry-linked record. In other examples, the FDA openly endorses and is pushing for the expansion of GMOs in our food supply and environment, most famously GM corn and wheat, but also GM salmon. In efforts to squelch the GMO labeling movement in early 2012, the government also erased 1 million signatures from the "Just Label It" campaign. They have even set their sights on labeling walnuts as squelch for their coveted omega 3 content and banning vitamin B6 from stores in favor of pharmaceutical company BioStratum's prescription drug using Pyrodoxamine, a natural form of vitamin B6. Forces within our own government—selected by people they then do nothing to care for—are turning nature's bountiful resources into purchasable and often unaffordable products.Anonymous
He's right - defending our country is not what's been on the agenda as we send soldiers into Iraq and Afghanistan. It's pitiful and shameful that people are asked to make such huge and noble sacrifices for . . . oil and control of other natural resources. Admit it, Mark Zuckerberg, and think carefully before you violate the 1st Amendment.Anonymous
What is it about returning from a necessary unplug--easing back into the groove with fresh eyes, rejuvenated, ready to give it my best again.

Thanks, Carol for posting this. You can't and shouldn't medicate away grief which is NOT the same thing as depression. Allowing for feelings related to loss, is therapeutic. Rushing to squelch them with meds can lead to further complications. Support, love and healing is called for. <3Anonymous

5 things NOT to do during a snowstorm
1. Do not travel. Stay off the roads for your safety and for the safety of our plow crews and emergency responders. Stay home until the roads and conditions are deemed safe by town officials.
2. Do not overdo it. If you shovel use caution especially if you have any medical condition that limits physical exertion. Please use good judgement. Shovel in shifts, get the job done a little at a time and let others help.
3. Do not injure yourself. Use good body mechanics, think about the 5 B's ( Bum, Belly, Box, shoulderBlades and Bobblehead). Step and toss the snow to avoid twisting your spine. Switch sides frequently so wrists and shoulders get a break.
4. Do not think you are invincible. Warm up before you go outside whether you are shoveling, sledding, skiing or even walking in the snow. All these activities are more strenuous on our bodies than we think. Performing light stretching and gentle exercises for your neck, shoulders back and legs will go a long way. A warm epsom salt bath afterward will do wonders too!
5. Do not ignore an injury. If you sustain a winter related injury ( i.e. fall, low back and neck pain etc) seek medical attention immediately. We will do our best to get you in within 24 hours for an acute injury for either physical therapy, chiropractic, massage or acupuncture. As a direct access clinic, most insurances do not require a physician's referral, so do not wait. Get help quickly.
How to Stabilize the SI Joint
The Sacroiliac joints (SI Joints) are formed by the sacrum of the spine and the pelvis. These joints absorb shock transmitted through the legs and disperse forces from the upper body to the pelvis and legs. There is minimal mobility at the SI joints, due to them being statically stabilized by ligaments connecting bone to bone and are dynamically stabilized by surrounding muscles. Ligament stability can only be improved through surgical reinforcement; however SI joint stability can be improved by strengthening the muscles around it.

The Science of Stretch
The study of connective tissue is shedding light on pain and providing new explanations for alternative medicine.
It connects your thigh to your calf; your hand to your arm; your breastbone to your clavicle. As you move, it allows your muscles to glide past one another. It acts like a net suspending your organs and a high-tech adhesive holding your cells in place while relaying messages between them. Connective tissue is one of the most integral components of the human machine.

The Right Physical Therapist For Your Child
Although physical therapy can help children in the recovery process following an injury, there is a lot more that the therapist can do. As a parent, you can expect the physical therapist to use a variety of techniques to strengthen muscles and improve joint mobility. The therapist will make the exercises fun and interesting, and your child won't realize that he or she is 'being treated.' As a parent, you should encourage your child to participate and 'play along' with the treatment. The physical therapist may use play techniques including crawling, playing follow the leader, facilitating balance and coordination activities using beams, balls and other objects.
After an injury, a physical therapist will help your child regain full potential, allowing your little bundle of joy to experience the pleasure of sport and grow physically and emotionally in the process. Your child will look forward to the 'play sessions' and be an active participant in the recovery process. If your child (or another child that you know) is recovering from an injury, give us an opportunity to help the child return to normal as quickly as possible. Give us a call today.

Medals for gymnasts Phoebe Turner and Ruby Harrold at British Championships
Posted: March 30, 2013|
West gymnasts Phoebe Turner and Ruby Harrold showed their potential by winning medals at the British Championships at the Echo Arena in Liverpool last weekend.
Rookie Turner, who is based in Street and is still only 12 years of age, won a superb silver in the vault, while Harrold, her 16-year-old team-mate at the Academy of Gymnastics in Portishead, was third in the senior asymmetric vault discipline.
"It was a tremendous achievement for both girls to win medals at the nationals," said coach Nia Edwards.
"Only the top eight girls in the country for each discipline qualified for the event, so just to get there was quite something."
Having reached the main event of the domestic season, Turner was clearly determined to make her mark and the youngster showed tremendous temperament and skill to make the podium for the second time in her young career.
"That is a significant achievement for Phoebe and, hopefully, it will be a springboard for further success," added Edwards.
Gordano School student Harrold, who is 16, had to call upon all her experience not to let a fall in the bars disrupt her performance.
"That fall would have cost Ruby a whole mark and when you consider that normally only 0.1 points can separate first from third it was significant," said Edwards.
"But the winner also fell, so you couldn't say Ruby would have won, but these things happen."
The two medals were the highlight of a terrific show by the Academy of Gymnastics, which underlined its position as one of the top clubs in the West Country with three other girls reaching the finals and two making the reserve list. Imogen Chan (floor), Abigail Solari (vault) and April Maslen (vault, bar and floor) all made the final eight, but just missed out on the medals, while Maisie Dodds (bars) and Charlotte Bennett (vault) were on the reserve lists.
Finally while Lucy Brett and Hollie Moore did not make the individual finals, they qualified for the all-round championships.
"To have nine girls make the British Championships with two winning medals is a terrific achievement for the club and we are very proud of the girls," said Edwards.

2014 CBD Top 100 Countdown: 56. Sam Coonrod (Southern Illinois)
We continue the countdown today with number #56, Southern Illinois RHP Sam Coonrod. In his sophomore campaign with the Salukis, Coonrod showed dominance on the mound, proving that he had the stuff to be an elite starting pitcher in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). The 6'1" right-hander made 15 starts during the 2013 season and recorded 79.2 innings which was good for 10th in the MVC. Coonrod quickly filled a weekend starting spot and it was for good reason. The sophomore pitched to a 4.29 ERA and finished 8th in the conference with 68 strikeouts. Coonrod finished the Salukis 2013 season with a 3-6 record and also received the Commissioner's Academic Excellence Award for his hard work in the classroom.

Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Day 1 Recap
Here is your Day 1 Recap from the 2013 Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
Game 1: Indiana State 4 Creighton 3
NORMAL, Ill. – In game one of the 2013 MVC Baseball Championship, No. 6 Indiana State took down No. 3 Creighton, 4-3 from Duffy Bass Field in Normal, Ill. The Sycamores will face the winner of the Wichita State/Southern Illinois contest, while the Bluejays will take on the non-winner of the Shockers/Salukis game.
Junior Sean Manaea was set to start the game for Indiana State, but was lifted from the game after feeling tightness in his left shoulder when throwing warmup pitches in the bottom of the first inning. Junior Josh Negele (3-1) went on the start the game for the Sycamores, tossing a career-high 5.1 innings while allowing seven hits and one run with four strikeouts. Continue reading Missouri Valley Conference Tournament Day 1 Recap
Missouri Valley Conference Recap April 5th-7th
An exciting weekend of Missouri Valley conference play is in the books as each series saw it's teams square off in closely contested match-ups. Perhaps the most exciting was Missouri State and Illinois State's Friday night opener, in which starters Nick Petree and Chris Razo exchanged strike-outs down the stretch before Petree was ultimately handed his first loss of the season. Perhaps the most controversial was Creighton's opening game win over Bradley which saw a critical play at the plate, and a not completely unexpected ejection thereafter. Southern Illinois and Evansville saw their own pitchers' duel on Friday night as starters Kyle Freeland and Cody Forsythe both went nine innings in a finish that would need extras to decide it. Meanwhile, Indiana State rescued a sweep at the hands of Wichita State after Sean Manaea, who was scratched from his Friday start, was able to pick up the win on Sunday. Continue reading Missouri Valley Conference Recap April 5th-7th
Missouri Valley Conference Weekend Recap (March 22nd-24th)
The start of Missouri Valley Conference play was marked as it always seems to be: with a winter snow storm. All the teams in the Valley rushed to finish their series before Sunday (with the notable exception of Wichita State who had the fortune of playing in Hawaii—and ironically had Sunday's game rained out). In the first weekend of conference play, Creighton took two of three on the road at Evansville, while Indiana State proved they will be a tough team to beat this season by taking all three from visiting Southern Illinois. Out of conference, Illinois State dropped their series to Eastern Illinois, Bradley lost their two games against Dartmouth in Florida, and although their basketball team is on a tear this March, the Wichita State baseball team struggled through their road series at Hawaii, picking up just one win in their four game series. Missouri State had the weekend off. Continue reading Missouri Valley Conference Weekend Recap (March 22nd-24th)

Henderson is entering his third season as the head coach of the Salukis after guiding SIU to the championship game of the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament last spring.

In addition, two players were taken in the MLB draft following the season. First-Team All-American Chris Serritella was drafted by the Phillies in the fourth round and left-handed pitcher Nathan Dorris went to the Cubs in the 17th round.
