A confounding variable is an extraneous variable that is statistically related to (or correlated with) the independent variable. This means that as the independent variable changes, the confounding variable changes along with it. Failing to take a confounding variable into account can lead to a false conclusion that the dependent variables are in a causal relationship with the independent variable. Take, for example, a study that seeks to investigate the relationship between income levels and test scores. Without controlling for other variables, the study finds that higher income correlates with better test scores and concludes that the two must be directly related. This is a flawed conclusion because there are many lurking confounding variables that may influence this supposedly clear-cut relationship. For example, perhaps individuals at one school received better education than those at another school. Without controlling for the confounding variables of education level and quality of education, the relationship between income level and test scores cannot be assumed.
Before we begin discussing the specifics of data analysis, let's pause for a moment to discuss the validity of a study and what it means. For the rest of this short course in research methods, we will be stopping to enumerate the various threats to validity that exist at each stage of the research process. We have already seen one: failure to properly operationalize the variables of interest can lead to the researcher drawing inappropriate conclusions about the research question. If, for example, the researcher had chosen to operationalize "economically productive" as "amount of money a person has in his or her savings," the researcher would have observed an entirely different result. It is possible for people to have other sources of income (gifts, spouses, inheritances, etc.) that may affect this variable, meaning that it is not a good measure of what is intended to be measure and therefore is not a good example of operationalization. But what exactly is validity?
Generally speaking, validity refers to whether or not a study is well designed and provides results that are appropriate to generalize to the population of interest. There is a lot more to validity that we will further discuss in this course, and Trochim's "Research Methods Knowledge Base" provides a succinct and useful summary of each of the kinds of validity.(1) There are three types of validity with which a researcher should be concerned.
Internal validity applies in studies that seek to establish a causal relationship between two variables, and it refers to the degree to which a study can make good inferences about this causal relationship. The essence of internal validity is whether or not a researcher can definitively state that the effects observed in the study were in fact due to the manipulation of the independent variable and not due to another factor. "Third variables" that the researcher may not consider or may not be able to control can affect the outcome of a study and can therefore prevent internal validity. A study is considered to be internally valid if the researcher can demonstrate that variable caused the observed effect.(2)
Construct validity is closely related to the process of operationalizing which we discussed in Module 1. It refers to the extent to which a researcher can claim that accurate inferences can be made from the operationalized measures in a study for the theoretical constructs on which they were based. Construct validity is concerned with generalizing from the specificities of a study to the broader concept that the study attempts to measure or draws conclusions. A study is considered to have construct validity if the researcher can demonstrate that the variables of interest were properly operationalized.(3)
A researcher often cannot work with the entire population of interest, but instead must study a smaller sample of that population in order to draw conclusions about the larger group from which the sample is drawn. External validity is concerned with the extent to which the conclusions can be generalized to the broader population. A study is considered to be externally valid if the researcher's conclusions can in fact be accurately generalized to the population at large.(4)
As a researcher, it is important to keep the concept of validity in mind at all times when designing a study. A good researcher will discuss the project design with an advisor or a group of colleagues to help ensure that validity is preserved at every stage of the process. A research project that lacks validity may draw conclusions that are inappropriate or even dangerous if applied to the target population.
For more information about how to ensure the validity of research, please review Research Validity.

text: Having unsuccessfully tried to persuade us we were funding arms trafficking and child prostitution by buying pirate DVDs, anti-piracy goons are now concentrating their efforts on the promotion of Knock-Off Nigel - buyer of pirate DVDs and distilled essence of centuries of evil. As Nigel sits enjoying a drink in the pub with his girlfriend, he's regaled by an old scrote with a guitar singing a ditty about what a git he is for buying things on the cheap. His girlfriend walks off and soon the entire pub are singing sweet songs of abuse at Nigel like he's in the Bowie episode of Extras. It's hard to identify what's worse about this advert. Maybe it's the patronisingly alliterative Knock-Off Nigel character, which makes you feel like a schoolkid learning about Bedwetter Bertie or Sibling Incest Simon. Or perhaps the ludicrous guitar playing mouth on legs trumps it. The advert takes place in the "Rose and Crown", but in the real world the British boozer has always been the place where people go to get their pirate DVDs, hooky Swiss watches and moody designer jeans. There's a reason why Del Boy is one of the nation's most loved characters. Piracy is just one of the many checks and balances that make capitalism work. Anti-piracy blackshirts effortlessly create an air of condescension that instantly makes you want to do the exact opposite of what they tell you. As they showed this atrocity during advent, thousands of families instantly tried to download Christmas itself - DVDs, music, turkey and all - through their illegal wireless broadband connections. Who says it pays to advertise?

K-Moe's upset Buckstop Archery, 10-9, last Thursday in the championship semifinals of the Vandalia men's slo-pitch single elimination tournament, and then went on to beat Ugly Koyote, 17-5, to take the title.
Jeremy Logue in the seventh inning hit a two-run homer to break an 8-8 tie against Buckstop, and K-Moe's would retire the final batter with the winning run on base.
Against Ugly Koyote, Logue's bases-loaded triple gave K-Moe's a 10-run lead in the sixth inning to end the game.
Logue was named tournament MVP.

Loogootee teen Clifford Baker has been found guilty of first-degree murder and home invasion.
The jury received the case at 11:06 a.m., and at 1:45 p.m., trial Judge Michael McHaney read a question from the jury, in which they asked whether they would be allowed to leave the building before the courtroom was emptied.
The judge replied with a question: "Does this mean you've reached a verdict?" The answer: "Yes."
The jury in the Clifford Baker murder trial has begun deliberating.
Jurors were given the case shortly after 11 a.m. today (Tuesday), after hearing closing arguments presented by Fayette County State's Attorney Stephen Friedel and Mark Havera, one of three defense attorneys representing Baker.
Jurors began deliberations after choosing a foreperson, and they were served lunch at about noon.
Keep on eye on www.leaderunion.com for news of the verdict.
As previously scheduled, the prosecution and defense attorneys in the Clifford Baker murder trial will deliver closing arguments first thing on Tuesday morning.
But as the attorneys met with Judge Michael McHaney to prepare jury instructions, Baker's defense team, led by Monroe McWard of Taylorville, announced that it would no longer present arguments for an insanity defense.
That leaves the defense of involuntary intoxication.

One of the more anticipated massively multiplayer online games coming up later this year (and anticipated all last year) is the Age of Conan. Aside from the game's theme and storyline, one of the interesting aspects here is the ability to create a virtual army of folks numbering in the hundreds.
This isn't a new idea per se. There have been MMOGs that allow for team efforts all the way back to the days of text-based MUDs, but the 3D worlds of today make it increasingly more complex with the addition of many types of tools, weapons, etc. What AoC also allows are full scale sieges of town and cities by an army. This kind of planning takes a whole new level of thinking.
The base level ideas focus on organizing a team of folks to achieve some stated goal. In most cases these days, this is something a guild will undertake with its members; however, it doesn't need to be a pre-organized/preset community, and many such quest efforts can take on an ad hoc group.
The next stage beyond just gathering folks is understanding the roles and skills of the members. Often there is a leader who has experience in the matter on what skills are necessary and where to place people (in the environment).
Usually this is event-based, that is, focused during a specific amount of time (rather than a long-term activity). So another step is to make sure the key folk needed arrive at the meeting point, along with their tools. If they don't the leader(s) need to readjust the assignments and formations.
During the execution of the quest, there may be preamble actions to take before they get into the mix of it; in MMOGs, this could be casting spells, donning specific armor, etc. Then there may also be real-world things to set up: a comfortable seat for long activities, water/super-caffeinated products, going to the restroom, quiet environment, etc.
As they enter the melee, the direction becomes even harder since there is so much going on. Modern MMOGs allow special heads-up displays showing status information, communications channels, and more, with different HUDs possible for different roles. It's not just keeping up with the action in the melee itself, but also keeping an eye on the HUDs to make sure you are in sync.
The activity can rage on for hours, and the stress impacts everyone. Everything from friendly fire, kill steals, random shots, hard choices, and more. The commitment here is not just in terms of mental stress and duress, but also in terms of ability to keep focus and in sync with the overall plan. In other words, the moment to moment stressful and dangerous action makes it feel real to many. The high level of risk is what helps to develop the level of commitment amongst players to the game, and to each other.
The aftermath or outcome also has consequences. As a fried said, most guilds fall apart because of arguments when dividing the winnings/loot. Everyone has sacrifices per their character, and many are emotionally connected to their character on a deep level. A catastrophic loss of equipment or the character takes it toll as a long-term effect; I would daresay on a level proportional to how long the person has been involved.
In a real-world military system, leaders assume that teamwork is a given. They never had to face the idea of a "democratically-organized" army as in an MMOG. That is a much harder proposal in terms of setting up teamwork.

So I have started threads and read threads about me jeep vibrating. I have replaced my U-bolts which sorta helped because they were bad and now I'm hearing it could be either that the U-joints are bad OR that when the lift was put in that the transfer case wasn't dropped like it was supposed to be. Before I go get the U-joints checked out how do I know if the transfer case has been dropped or not?
how much lift? 2" none. 4" lift needs 1" transfer case drop. To help with drive shaft alignment.
However this is just my opinion,
even a 2-2.5" lift may need a tc drop. Just look at your belly skid and see if there are spacers of any kind between the frame and the skid.
5" lift. I'll post pictures tomorrow if I can't figure it out
When are the vibrations most noticeable? At why speed? Another thing to consider is your drive shaft may need to be balanced again if you had it lengthened. New tires out of balance? Are you running a slip yoke eliminator and a double Carden joint?
At about 50mph. I have no idea about an extended yoke or anything but I've had a few people tell me I might need to do something with the driveshaft/U-joint but I saw a few people on threads saying that dropping their transfer case fixed everything.
Also I got new tires and replaced most of the front end myself but I got the tired and car totally alighted other than the driveshaft
nothing to aline but set the toe-in, you can do it your self with a tape measure in about 15mins.
You need either at T-case drop or a slip yoke eliminator.
How much of a t-case drop would I need for 5" lift?
A tease drop can be purchased in a kit or probably made by yourself. Mine is about 3/4". It's just rectangular tubing on both sides. Cut the same length as the skid plate and drilled out the bolt holes. I run a sye as well
3 Attachment(s)
This is what it looks like
That is the factory slip yoke and a transfer case drop. I like the load of the transmission and t case to be more evenly distributes than on a couple of small spacers, so if it were mine, I'd think about changing it down the road to a beefier setup. It's a very cheap and easy fix.
So I'm assuming that means I need a slip yoke eliminator?
What do you recommend I use for redoing the t case drop?
Would this be an ideal slip yoke eliminator that I ca get?
I looked up yoke eliminators for a jeep wrangler yj. Are there different transfer cases for a yj?
I don't think so but I would make sure you have a np231
2 Attachment(s)
When the Jeep is lifted a lot of things get changed and the driveline angle is one of them. The springs may have come with shims/wedges to get the pinion angle up and with the stock shaft in it may have the wrong angle. The T-Case drop is good for some but not all. Then you have to look at the dirveshaft slip yoke and determine at full extension of the suspension is the shaft going to stay on the out put shaft of the T-Case or possibly fall off. It happens more than one would think. The SYE kits remove that problem but cost $$$ and then you need a new shaft as well. But in the meantime look at the pics attached for driveline angle. Or you can go to Tom Woods website and do a little reading on there home page right side grey banner Technical Information. This is where I got the picture from.
With a slip yoke joint on the driveshaft this is what you angles should be the pinion should be parralell to the driveshaft.
The second picture is from a YJ with your setup from a hrad day of trail riding.
Why would you need a new drive shaft when you get a SYE?
Old drive shaft won't connect to it you need as shaft with a joint I have heard you can pull one of of a grand tho
Of of a grand? Like a grand Cherokee?
What year grand Cherokee?

Click here to print the obituary below
Sister Jeanne Knoerle
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (AP) - Former St. Mary-of-the-Woods College president Sister Jeanne Knoerle (NUR'-lee) has died at age 85.
Knoerle led the Catholic liberal arts school for women near Terre Haute from 1968 to 1983 and continued as its co-chancellor. The college says she died Monday at the community of nuns.
School officials say Knoerle launched its external degree program in 1973 as a way to educate women who could not attend college in a traditional way. The school now about 1,000 women and men enrolled in its distance-learning classes and about 300 students in its women-only undergraduate campus programs.
Current school President Dottie King tells the Tribune-Star (http://bit.ly/108vAyL ) that Knoerle's work was groundbreaking and that she was an energetic and positive leader.

Summary : Few of nature's marvels match the intense liveliness of an Arctic summer. In a region that's frozen, still and dark for much of the year, the Far North awakens with a burst of energy during these long days when the tundra turns green, animals come forth in great flocks and herds, and the sea welcomes thousands of beluga whales back for their summer feasting. With the remote outpost of Churchill as your base on the edge of Hudson Bay, be part of the excitement, surrounded by a flurry of natural wonders that only a northern summer can provide.
Activities : Birding, Culture, Hiking, Kayaking, Snorkeling
Prices from
$999,999,999 to $0
Arrive in Winnipeg and transfer to the Fort Garry Hotel, built in 1913 by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. The French-style chateau is still the grande dame of Winnipeg, offering first-class hospitality. Meet your Expedition Leader and fellow travelers at a welcome dinner on this first evening of your Arctic tour.
Today explore Winnipeg's history and natural environs, including FortWhyte Alive, featuring 640 acres of lakes, forest, marsh, meadow, farmland, and a 70-acre bison prairie. Here, take a step back in time and paddle a North West Company voyageur canoe on Muir Lake. Enjoy a birdwatching outing among the park's rich wetlands. Depending on the train schedule, board the Hudson Bay passenger train to Churchill around lunchtime.
Traveling northward, southern prairies give way to dense boreal forest. Disembark to explore the surrounding subarctic environs and enjoy lunch by the lake before continuing by rail to the edge of the tundra. The train is relaxing and comfortable, and each cabin has its own toilet, sink and large windows, offering a broad vista of the changing ecosystems.
Early in the morning, arrive in the small northern outpost of Churchill, gateway to the Arctic, with four full days of adventure ahead. Activities include two Zodiac trips to see belugas in the Churchill River. More than 3,000 of these wondrous white whales spend the summer in the region, and motorized rafts put you at eye-level with them. With their unusual ability to turn their heads from side to side, they appear to be as curious about you as you are about them. Through the use of a hydrophone on board, listen to their otherworldly songs. Few wildlife encounters offer as intimate a perspective as this one.
Take a larger vessel across the river to Prince of Wales Fort, established by Danish explorer Jens Monk in 1619, and where the Hudson's Bay Company built one of its original fur-trading posts. Churchill became a stopover point for explorers searching for the fabled Northwest Passage and was instrumental in the opening of the Canadian West. A unique polar rover conveys you to a point near Hudson Bay to enjoy an outdoor cookout while watching for wildlife here at the interface of the boreal forest and tundra. You may see caribou with calves, snowy owls, Arctic fox and ptarmigan, and you may even spot polar bears. At this time of year, it is not uncommon to find mothers with cubs. The Churchill area also has plenty of walking trails that line the border of the northern boreal forest and southern tundra. This nexus of ecosystems is home to a variety of flora and fauna which you'll encounter on short walks.
Your morning is free to wander Churchill's main street, where several locally owned shops offer Native handicrafts from Inuit wall-hangings to caribou fur sculptures. Transfer to the airport for your return flight to Winnipeg. This evening, gather over a farewell dinner one last time, reveling in the memories made over the past week.
After breakfast, your Arctic summer tour comes to a close. Transfer to the airport for flights home.
Departure dates and itinerary subject to change. Please contact ExpeditionTrips to confirm departure schedule before purchasing air tickets. ExpeditionTrips is not responsible for itinerary changes.
Train Schedule: Train timetables are unconfirmed until shortly before each departure. Changes to train schedules may affect the itinerary on Days 2-4.
Seven Day Itinerary: 7/14/2016
On select departures, guests do not take the train to Churchill. Instead, fly to Churchill mid-morning on Day 2. If the flight schedule permits, on this morning visit the acclaimed Manitoba Museum, renowned for its exhibits on the human and natural heritage of the province, including the history of northern Native cultures. The total trip length for these departures is 7 days. The Churchill inclusions and activities are identical to the regular itinerary. Please note that there will not be a visit to FortWhyte Alive on these departures.
Snorkel and Kayak with Belugas:
Optional opportunity for a once-in-a-lifetime experience to snorkel or sea kayak among dozens of beluga whales. Please note that these options are highly dependent on weather and tides. Contact ExpeditionTrips for rates and details.

Our Thoughts Go Out To Everyone In The Philippines.e_darrellj | Nov 08, 2013
As Super Typhoon Haiyan leaves a wide path of destruction across the central Philippines, our thoughts are with everyone in the area now struggling during this difficult time.
With winds gusts of 235 mph (380 kph), it's no surprise that the media is reporting how this may well be the strongest storm in recorded history. Naturally there are several members of the Elance community who are now unable to communicate with the rest of the world. With no power, no internet access and limited cellular service, these freelancers and clients are also unable to work.
We're keeping up-to-date on developing news via Ron Cirujano, our Elance Country Manager in the Philippines. We'll be sure to update you with any important developments that we gather from Ron.
Note to all freelancers in the Philippines: As soon as you're able, please contact your clients directly to keep them updated on your current situation. If there is anything we can do to help accelerate your recovery, please let us know.
Note to all Elance clients with freelancers in the Philippines: Due to the widespread damage, expect disruption in communications with your freelancers. On behalf of those who are affected we request your patience during this difficult time. If you are experiencing significant delays in your job, please contact us and we'll help in any way possible.
Thanks to everyone for your understanding.

Originally written on Wrestling-Edge.com | Last updated 10/13/14
- Kurt Angle gave his views on "Stone Cold" Steve Austin during an interview with The English digital magazine."One of the most underrated wrestlers – not entertainers, but wrestlers – in the history of professional wrestling. He changed the face of wrestling. I wrestled him in my first year in the business, and I knew nothing. Austin carried me through every match that we had."- According to The Huffington Post, the second most viewed post at Gawker this year was for Hulk Hogan's leaked sex tape, which was right behind a story which published topless photos of Kate Middleton. Hogan is currently suing Gawker for distributing the tape.

Most students would rather spend less on food than go without state of the art technology.
Nearly eight out ten (77%) in higher education say they would regularly eat beans on toast in order to afford the latest iPhones, laptops and other must-have devices.
The research by Maplin Electronics, revealed that more young women are prepared to eat cheaper food, (81 per cent), compared to men (66 per cent), if it means acquiring the newest gadgets.
One in four of the 1000 students polled said they spend more than £500 a year on tech for halls of residence. The study also found that the average cost of a student's possessions is now £1,162.
Maplin marketing director, Breffni Walsh said: "Today's students are super savvy when it comes to the right tech for education and entertainment, and are keen to stay connected, whether it is in the lecture theatre or using wi-fi at home.

24-hour run
A 24-hour run is a form of ultramarathon, in which a competitor runs as far as they can in 24 hours. They are typically held on 1- to 2-mile loops or occasionally 400-meter tracks.
Top runners will often run 200 kilometers or more, depending on conditions, and the best can go beyond 270 kilometers. Some participants will have a crew to help them, but others just set up a camp with all the gear and supplies they need near the starting area to access each loop. Often 24-hour events are combined with 6-, 12-, and 48-hour events. 24-hour runs have also been held in relay formats, with runners completing a mile each in succession for 24 hours. Often these events are not internationally sanctioned, and are more for charitable purposes.[1]
The world records for the event on all surfaces are 256.246m km (159.223 miles) for women, set by Patrycja Bereznowska of Poland in 2017,[2] and 303.506 km (188.590 miles) for men, set by Yiannis Kouros in 1997.
The first international championship was held February 3–4, 1990 in Milton Keynes, England.[3] A full continental championship was formed in 1992 as the IAU 24 Hour European Championship.[4]
The IAU 24 Hour World Championship is the pinnacle of competition in the 24-hour run. The first IAU Individual Track Championships were held in San Giovanni Lupatoto, Verona, Italy on 22–23 September 2001.[5]
The German website DUV lists 160 24-hour races that were scheduled for 2012, a figure that has doubled over the last 10 years. The longest running 24-hour race is the Self-Transcendence 24 Hour Race Ottawa, Canada which began in 1981.[6]
A 24-hour race exclusively for youth was started in Hong Kong in 2010, and has continued annually (Running to Stop the Traffik).
