What evidence is there that we may be descended from Dolphins and not apes as Darwin theorised?

Well here may be a similarity in our evolution, not necessarily stating that we evolved from dolphins:\n\nFuji writes "Scientists have made a discovery that could have a huge impact on Science and for Human Kind. They have since discovered that dolphins, humpback whales and the rare Ganges dolphins have developed or evolved opposable thumbs, which has scientists concerned because it could help dolphins swim faster, move objects and make tools and other systems to help them in their environments."\n\nAnd here more evidence that they are the fastest evolving creature on the planet, next to humans:\n\nDolphins have evolved surprisingly big brains over the last 47 million years, according to the largest fossil study ever done on the animals. The growth - which occurred in two spurts - may shed light on how humans became so brainy.\n\nDolphins are famously bright, performing mental feats few other animals can, such as recognising themselves in mirrors. That intelligence is probably due to their exceptionally large brains - some dolphin species boast brain-to-body mass ratios second only to humans. But how they evolved such big brains has been a mystery. \n\nNow, a trio of researchers led by biologist Lori Marino at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, US, has tracked how dolphins evolved their big brains using the fossil record. After four years of scouring museum collections, the team turned up 66 fossilised skulls of dolphin ancestors - adding to only five studied previously. \n\nThey probed the specimens' brain sizes with computed tomography (CT) scans and estimated the animals' body masses by analysing the size of bones around the base of the skulls. \n\nThey studied the fossilised skulls - dating back 47 million years - along with 144 modern specimens, and found each creature’s encephalisation quotient (EQ). This measurement relates a specimen's brain mass to that of an average animal of similar size, so if an animal's EQ is less than 1, it has a smaller than average brain, while if it is greater than 1, it has a relatively large one. Humans are the brainiest of all creatures, with an EQ of 7.\n\nEcholocation\nDolphins' earliest ancestors were land-based hoofed creatures that became aquatic, losing their hind legs and gaining flippers over time. About 35 million years ago, those flippered creatures were about the size of small baleen whales - about 9 metres long - had sharp teeth and an EQ of about 0.5.\n\nBut around that time, that group mysteriously died off, spawning a new group called the odontocetes, or toothed whales, which include today's dolphins, porpoises, belugas and narwhals. \n\nThe new research shows these creatures were smaller, with smaller teeth, but - crucially - relatively bigger brains. Their EQs had jumped to 2.5 - a phenomenon Marino suspects is related to their development of echolocation - the use of sound waves to locate objects - and their complex social lives.\n\nThe research shows that about eight out of 67 odontocete species - including dolphins - went through a second boost in brainpower about 15 million years ago, attaining EQs of 4 and 5, although the reasons for this leap remain unclear. And some species' brains also got smaller.\n\nMyth busting\n"There's a myth that says that since life began, there's been this increase in brain size," Marino told New Scientist. "But brains are metabolically very expensive, so you have to have a really good reason to have a big one."\n\nAnother myth is that only a single big-brained species can exist at one place and time, she adds. But the new work shows that for 15 million years, "a lot of dolphin and whale species have been hanging out together in the ocean”.\n\nOnly patchy - if any - historical brain size records exist for most animals, but researchers know that in the five million years of human history, EQs have risen from about 2.5 to 7.\n\n"There's a lot of controversy


Will you agree if your government wants to apply a regulation about porns and sexuality?

The federal government has no delegated power to make laws concerning clothing except in those geographical areas under direct federal control.  States and localities have power to make such laws within their jurisdictions.  By and large such laws reflect local perceptions of decency and civility.\n\nDuring the last 30 or so years the existence of such laws and the application of such laws have significantly loosened.  For example, most people no longer formally dress to go to church or to dine out.  Society has come to respect (some refer to it as political correctness) those who wish to dress differently.  For those who do dress differently they should be realistic in their degree of difference by not anticipating a warm acceptance of some style and this is particularly true when dress reflects sexual mores.

Canada location is north of the United States of America and is actually a land of vast distances and certainly rich natural resources, although Canada became a self-governing dominion in 1867 while totally retaining ties to the British crown. Economically and technologically the nation has developed in parallel with the well  like US, its neighbor to the south across an unfortified border. \n\nCanada size in population is about 33 million inhabitants that occupies the northern portion of the North American continent, and is the world's second largest country in area. Inhabited for millennia by First Nations (Aboriginal peoples), Canada has evolved from a group of European colonies into a bilingual (English and French), multicultural, federation, having peacefully obtained sovereignty from its last colonial possessor, the United Kingdom. France sent the first large group of settlers in the 17th century, but Canada came to be dominated by the British until the country attained independence in the 20th century. English-speakers make up a majority of Canadians with a significant French-speaking minority concentrated in Quebec and neighboring regions. Substantial immigrant communities have also formed.\n\nCanada's paramount political problem is completely meeting public demands for quality improvements in health care and education services after a decade of budget cuts. The issue of reconciling Quebec's francophone heritage with the majority anglophone Canadian population has moved to the back burner in recent years; while in favour for separatism seems abated after the Quebec government's referendum on independence failed to pass in October of 1995.

Why do Muslims answer every question with "X and Y does it too"?

Yes, I have gotten a straight answer from Muslims, when I ask a serious question and want a serious response.\n\nYou see, you are looking for a specific answer.  You are not really looking for a "straight answer," you are looking to have your personal opinion justified.   The answers you are looking for is: "Islam sucks," and "Muhammed was an evil, no-good, stupid doody head."   No Muslim is going to give you that kind of answer.  And no reasonable non-Muslim is going to give you that kind of an answer either.  Why?  Because Muslims believe in their religion.  And because Islam, when practiced by reasonable people, is a peaceful and loving religion.\n\nPeople point out that "X and Y does it too" because Muslims do not have the market cornered on radical, fundamental, irrational, violent religious craziness.  There is violent passages in the Torah and Bible.  The Judaeo-Christian god instructs believers to kill non-believers.  Slavery, pederasty, incest, rape - all these are in the Torah and the Bible, and is not condemned.  The point of it is, there are faithful Jews and Christians who do not go around doing these things because they understand that this was written a long time ago, that times have changed, and that these are metaphorical and symbolic guides to living your life.  Muslims today understand that the Quran was written a long time ago, and that times have changed, and that it is a metaphorical and symbolic guide to living life.  Most Muslims choose to interpret the Quran in a peaceful, loving and reasonable way.\n\nMuch of what the West understands about Muslims comes from what we see on television, what is going on in the Middle East.  The Middle East is a politically, socially and economically unstable region right now.  Fundamentalist religious wackos flourish in this kind of chaotic environment.  However, it is not due so much to the religion, as to poverty, political destabilization, etc.  In other words, if there was the same kind of circumstances in, say, Europe, you would be seeing Christian or Jewish wackos on the television right now as opposed to Muslim wackos.

I think ALL elected government positions should be volunteer assignments. What do you thinks?

I think it will have the exact opposite effect that you want.\n\nHow many of us can afford to volunteer full time? That being the case, only the very rich and the very corrupt can afford to take public office.\n\nThe very rich can afford the time, but it basically sets us up as an Aristocracy. Rich families will become more powerful, because they can afford to work for free.\n\nMore often, people will volunteer, then use their influence to get bribed. Since these "volunteers" would be writing laws, you can bet that gifts and donations would become legal. After all, "we've got to eat"\n\nI think it's wonderful when people feel a genuine call to public service. I don't begrudge them being paid for the work they do.

Why is marijuana on the Controlled Substance List?

I see there are quite a lot of uneducated people answering questions nowadays.\n\nThe only reason marijuana was made illegal was to discriminate against the Mexicans coming into America during the early 1900s. First, they passed a law that said if a person possessed marijuana, they needed a tax stamp on it, but the government never gave anyone these stamps so the cops would just throw those people in jail. It had nothing to do with people actually getting high off of it. Then in the 1950s, the government went and made it completely illegal because they were so uneducated about it, they thought it made people psychotic murderers.\n\nEdit: I swear, some people just buy into everything they are told on TV. As I see more stupid people comment on how marijuana is a gateway drug, I must interject once again. It's is NOT a gateway drug. People see all drugs as taboo, so if they try marijuana and like it, that makes them wonder if the government is wrong about all the other illegal drugs out there. Legalize it, and I guarantee people who do other drugs will quit doing those and just smoke marijuana. And the people who just start smoking marijuana will be content with the affect it has on them and won't do anything else. The folks that are so bent on trying other drugs will do so regardless if they ever smoke marijuana. It's just the fact that marijuana is much more accessable, so that is usually the drug they use first.


How is simplicity affecting american society?

Interesting you ask about a simplifying America. I think we are becoming so PC America is becoming more complicated. Somehow we've fallen into an everyone must feel good all the time society. We try to please everybody. When you try to please one group someone else/group is offended or disgruntled. In the end we have ridiculous lawsuits, laws court rulings, etc... And for most of us who don't care or don't want to hear about it... we just say look, suck it up. \nComedians poke fun all the time. Racial, femenist, sexual innuendos and so on....they are hilarious because some Americans are so up-tight about everything. A lot of times it is not only the joke that's funny, but the thought that you know someone is going to be jabbed at in a usually tasteful way. Relax, YOU WILL BE OFFENDED at some point in your life. It happens who cares. Everyone gets a turn.  \nMaybe, deal with it right there, don't you dare become a victim and wallow in self pity. No matter who or where in America you are, you have at minimum, the ability to voice your complaint. In other words simplify your situation at hand. But for the sake of sanity, DO NOT INVOLVE THE GOVERNMENT~!!!\nI think America needs to become more simplified. Not obvious, plain and clear disrespect for each other, but a little less PC and MUCH MUCH LESS from the ACLU...would go a long way in the simplification of life. \nI know I know, there are a million other factors that affect this issue, but you know, a lot of those can be dealt with by common sense.

how 3 families of musical instrument namely the string,wind and percussion family produce music?

all sound is produced by making sound waves, your actions on the instruments make sound waves by making the air vibrate. For stringed instruments you make the string vibrate by plucking or rubbing it with a bow, the vibration of the string makes sound waves in the air. what the music will be like depends on the length  of the string,so a double bass with long strings produces a lower note than a violin with short strings. Wind instruments have a sound box ( the body of the instrument) which amplifies the sound so that it is loud enough to hear easily. \nFor a wind instrument you blow through a mouth piece or reed to create the vibrations, the note is determined by the length of the pipe , so a recorder (short pipe)produces higher notes than a bassoon (long pipe), the pipe also acts as the soundbox.\n\nIn percussion instruments the vibrations are made by banging a surface to make the soundwaves. Drums usually use a skin, with the body of the drum forming the soundbox, xylophones and triangles use a metal plate or bar, and do not require a soundbox. the note is determined by the size of the skin or bar.

Somebody..anybody, Why is Bush such as Idiot, His pop had a brain at least?

He is a puppet for Halliburton (vice pres Dick Cheney's company) and the oil industry.  But he's actually doing a great job of it.  The price of Halliburton's shares have jumped from $20 to $80 in the last 3 years.  So he may look like an idiot, but he and the people behind him have become very wealthy. By looking stupid, people don't realize what he's really up to.  He wants the war to go on, and he wants oil prices to stay high - it is in his own personal interest.

Predjudice basically means "irrational assumptions" (usually negative) about an individual or group. Social Science teaches us to be careful here. In our daily lives we all have to make decisions, often snap judgments based on probablities. Some prejudgments may be based on statistical reality but generalizations tell us nothing about individuals. Prime Example~~Sept.11th attacks--Terrorism--Airport Security--\nIt all involves a kind of predjudice; making an assumption based on recent events. But is it fair to a great majority of middle easterners who are not hijackers? People who are predjudiced may live with the psychological burden of encountering behaviors that imply they're dangerous and support terrorism. Which brings me to say, once again, some prejudgments may be based on statistical reality but generalizations tell us nothing about individuals. Everyone should be judged as an individual and not as a group!!! =) \nHope this helps...\nLast but not least, we teach ourselves our own predjuice and how to be predjudice based on probabilities, generalizations and statistical reality.


English is an Anglo-Frisian language brought to Britain in the 5th Century AD by Germanic settlers from various parts of northwest Germany. The original Old English language was subsequently influenced by two successive waves of invasion. The first was by speakers of languages in the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic family, who colonised parts of Britain in the 8th and 9th centuries. The second wave was of the Normans in the 11th century, who spoke Norman (an oïl language closely related to French).\n\nAccording to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, around the year 449, Vortigern, King of the British Isles, invited the Angles to help him against the Picts. In return, the Angles were granted lands in the south-east. Further aid was sought, and in response came Saxons, Angles, and Jutes. The Chronicle talks of a subsequent influx of settlers who eventually established seven kingdoms. Modern scholarship considers most of this story to be legendary and politically motivated.\n\nThese Germanic invaders dominated the original Celtic-speaking inhabitants, whose languages survived largely in Scotland, Wales, Cornwall, and Ireland. The dialects spoken by the invaders formed what would be called Old English, which resembled some coastal dialects in what are now north-west Germany and the Netherlands. Later, it was strongly influenced by the North Germanic language Norse, spoken by the Vikings who settled mainly in the north-east (see Jórvík).\n\nFor the 300 years following the Norman Conquest in 1066, the Norman kings and the high nobility spoke only Anglo-Norman. A large number of Norman words were assimilated into Old English. The Norman influence reinforced the continual evolution of the language over the following centuries, resulting in what is now referred to as Middle English.\n\nDuring the 15th century, Middle English was transformed by the Great Vowel Shift, the spread of a standardised London-based dialect in government and administration, and the standardising effect of printing. Modern English can be traced back to around the time of William Shakespeare.

If gcd( o(G), o(H) ) = 1 then there are integers u, v such that u o(G) + v o(H) = 1.\n\nSince (a,b) is in K, all of its powers are in K as well.\n\n(a,b)^(v o(H)) = ( a^(v o(H)), b^(v o(H)) )\n = ( a^(v o(H)), b^(v o(H)) )\n = ( a^(v o(H)), (b^v)^(o(H)) )\n = ( a^(v o(H)), e_H )\n\nbecause all elements of H when raised to the o(H) power yield the identity element of H.\n\nSince u o(G) + v o(H) = 1 we know v o(H) = 1 - u o(G) and so we can continue with\n\n(a,b)^(v o(H)) = ( a^(v o(H)), e_H )\n = ( a^(1 - u o(G)), e_H )\n = ( a (a^(- u o(G)), e_H )\n = ( a, e_H )\n\nbecause as before we have\n a^(- u o(G)) = (a^(-u)) ^ (o(G)) = e_G\n\nSo ( a, e_H ) is also in K.

Is G. Bush is going to hell ?   The Bible seems to say yes.?

From Matthew 19 (NIV):\n23Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." \n\n 25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?" \n\n 26Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."\n\nTherefore, it's very hard--but not impossible--for George W. Bush and other rich people to go to heaven.\n\nBTW, this is not an endorsement of G. W. Bush as a president.  I'm a Christian, and I can't stand the guy! But, in spite of his many presidential sins, if he is truly a child of God, he will go to heaven.  (God may have to deal with him oh-so-severely first, though--but that's not for me to judge!)

Do girls ever go to the gym to check out guys?

I worked at a gym for a little while in VA and based on what I heard from the women that I instructed... NO.  But that isn't true with every girl either.  Use your head, if you are working out and you make eye contact with her she will take the moment to express interest if there is some.  If you are working out and she places herself in your vacinity or in your direct view, try the above.  If you go somewhere (the pool, the store, the tread mills) and you then suddenly bump into her stike a small, non cheesy conversation deviod of pickup lines and if she is interested she will let you know if you are paying attention.  Most guys do not understand when and how a woman is making her interest known.  if you feel clueless when it comes to woman then try doubleyourdating.com very good ebook.  Not endorsing per se, I read it and it helped me meet my wife the most wonderful woman every.  confident, hot, and now having my baby.\nAny way most often women go to the gym to work out.  If she is wearing headphones then the likely hood of not wanting to be hit on or bothered just went up about 98%\ngood luck

How long it's gonna take for you to die after you get infected by the bird flu disease ?

From infection to symptoms, 2 to 17 days, typically 7 days.\nFrom symptoms to death, 3 to 13 days, commonly 3 to 6 days.\nThe fatality rate for all cases so far has been about 50%.\n\nClinical features 1. In many patients, the disease caused by the H5N1 virus follows an unusually aggressive clinical course, with rapid deterioration and high fatality. Like most emerging disease, H5N1 influenza in humans is poorly understood. Clinical data from cases in 1997 and the current outbreak are beginning to provide a picture of the clinical features of disease, but much remains to be learned. Moreover, the current picture could change given the propensity of this virus to mutate rapidly and unpredictably.\n\nThe incubation period for H5N1 avian influenza may be longer than that for normal seasonal influenza, which is around two to three days. Current data for H5N1 infection indicate an incubation period ranging from two to eight days and possibly as long as 17 days. However, the possibility of multiple exposure to the virus makes it difficult to define the incubation period precisely. WHO currently recommends that an incubation period of seven days be used for field investigations and the monitoring of patient contacts.\n\nInitial symptoms include a high fever, usually with a temperature higher than 38oC, and influenza-like symptoms. Diarrhoea, vomiting, abdominal pain, chest pain, and bleeding from the nose and gums have also been reported as early symptoms in some patients. Watery diarrhoea without blood appears to be more common in H5N1 avian influenza than in normal seasonal influenza. The spectrum of clinical symptoms may, however, be broader, and not all confirmed patients have presented with respiratory symptoms. In two patients from southern Viet Nam, the clinical diagnosis was acute encephalitis; neither patient had respiratory symptoms at presentation. In another case, from Thailand, the patient presented with fever and diarrhoea, but no respiratory symptoms. All three patients had a recent history of direct exposure to infected poultry.\n\nOne feature seen in many patients is the development of manifestations in the lower respiratory tract early in the illness. Many patients have symptoms in the lower respiratory tract when they first seek treatment. On present evidence, difficulty in breathing develops around five days following the first symptoms. Respiratory distress, a hoarse voice, and a crackling sound when inhaling are commonly seen. Sputum production is variable and sometimes bloody. Most recently, blood-tinted respiratory secretions have been observed in Turkey. Almost all patients develop pneumonia. During the Hong Kong outbreak, all severely ill patients had primary viral pneumonia, which did not respond to antibiotics. Limited data on patients in the current outbreak indicate the presence of a primary viral pneumonia in H5N1, usually without microbiological evidence of bacterial supra-infection at presentation. Turkish clinicians have also reported pneumonia as a consistent feature in severe cases; as elsewhere, these patients did not respond to treatment with antibiotics.\n\nIn patients infected with the H5N1 virus, clinical deterioration is rapid. In Thailand, the time between onset of illness to the development of acute respiratory distress was around six days, with a range of four to 13 days. In severe cases in Turkey, clinicians have observed respiratory failure three to five days after symptom onset. Another common feature is multiorgan dysfunction. Common laboratory abnormalities, include leukopenia (mainly lymphopenia), mild-to-moderate thrombocytopenia, elevated aminotransferases, and with some instances of disseminated intravascular coagulation.

Why America goes to war and take other countries to be in the front defend line?

because these countries r weak but rich in petroleum and other products . america to became the world power required a lot of fuel for technology and for other machines . they dont have sufficent petroleum reserves . so to fulfil there demand they look for petrol in these countries , they show the world that they r fighting for terrorism but actually they r looking for petrol . if they succed they will be the super power in the world . so we must unite and try to stop them .

A mile is a linear measurement (length) while 1000 sq. ft. would be a two dimensional measurement (length x width) so it's pretty hard to compare the two.\n\nYou can compare 1000 sq. ft. to a square mile, which is 27,878,400 sq. ft. so it is approximately 0.0036% of a square mile.

Will Albert Pujols break the single season home run record this year?

I'm a huge Cardinals fan, so I sure hope he will.  The argument in favor:\n\n1. He's put up 5 straight years of Triple-Crown caliber production from the age of 20-25.\n2. He just turned 26, and most ballplayers peak between the age of 26 and 29.\n3. He's got two legit All-Stars batting behind him in the lineup (Scott Rolen and Jim Edmonds), so it's tough to walk him.\n4. He's got more home runs in April than any player except McGwire in MLB history, and he's only one shy of tying Big Mac's record, set in his 70 HR 1998 season.\n5. There are still 5 games left in April.\n6. He's hitting the ball a mile, so his hitting is basically ballpark independent.\n7. He's the most focused, disciplined hitter I've ever seen, and I don't think the pressure will get to him the way it might a lesser player.\n\nAll that said, I think the odds are heavily against him breaking the mark, but I think he's got to be favored to do something almost as impressive:  be the first guy to hit 50+ home runs since the Juiced Era wound down.

what was the name of the Denver basketball team before they were call the Nuggets?

Back in the ABA days, the Denver Nuggets were born from the ashes of the imploded Denver Rockets franchise. The Rockets played from the 1967-68 season until 1973-74. The team featured 5 different head coaches in that 7 year period.\n\nThe team was called the Rockets because the original owner, Bill Ringsby, owned a trucking company called "Ringsby Rocket Trucking".\n\nOriginal Rockets included Larry Jones (who scored 52 points in a game that season), Willie Murrell, Byron Beck, Wayne Hightower, Lefty Thomas, Julian Hammond and Tom "Whammy" Bowens.\n\nFor more about the franchise, read the lengthy biography of the Rockets at the link below:

What is your suggestion?  Do we need greater surveillance?  Or will our problems be solved by the meeting of a variety of great thinkers with diverse philosophies?\n\nGreater surveillance impinges on the rights of the many to protect the lives of the few.  We must be careful to consider the long-term consequences of greater surveillance.\n\nThe collaboration of a variety of great thinkers, however, would be valuable as we navigate through these difficult times.  (Hitler does NOT constitute a great philosopher, though!)


My mom used to have her own business,it was a used furniture store,first she had to get a building,then she had to get the utlities on and the phone,and I believe she had to put a down payment on the building and pay the firsts months rent,and then she had to get a permit,then she started filling up the store.(some stuff she already had)She went to auctions,yard sales, and different places to get her stuff,she had furniture,glassware,tv's,vcr's,and odds and ends of stuff!

Objects orbit one another because they have a curved trajectory that results from the vector addition of their momentum (in the direction of travel, tangential to the orbit) and the gravitational attraction to the other object (normal to the orbit).\n\nThis vector is constantly changing in direction (but not to any significant degree in magnitude) because of the object's motion, but it always keeps the satellite's acceleration pointed towards the object is it orbiting, resulting in smooth, roughly circular motion.

Anything from Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Most of the poems were turned into songs for the musical Cats which is based on the book.

SO3 is sulfur trioxide and has a slightly more complex molecular structure than SO2, sulfur dioxide.


What type of reaction is the reaction between Na2CO3 and HCl to produce CO2? What is the balanced equation?

Na2CO3 + 2HCl = CO2 + H20 + 2NaCl (aq)\n\nThis reaction is a double displacement reaction because oxygen from the sodium carbonate combines with the hydrogen in the hydrochloric acid to form water, and the sodium goes with chlorine to form sodium chloride, making carbon dioxide in the process.

What do you think the Indian team needs to win matches overseas?

Opening bowlers have long been the bane of the Indian cricket team and the reason why they do not get close to the number 1 ranking.  Australia hit number 1 with McGrath and Gillespie and exception support from Kaspa, Bichel or Lee as a first change option.  And of course they had Warne.  South Africa briefly hit the number 1 spot using points from the great Donald career and the emergence of Pollock and Ntini as good opening bowlers.\n\nIndia do not need bowlers who are occassionally good with the new ball, they need bowlers who are constantly good and they could also use a good old ball bowler like Simon Jones.\n\nBatting will avail them nothing, they had an all time great batting lineup in Ganguly, Tendulkar, Dravid and Laxman and it still didn't help them win away series.


Im getting an engagement ring for my girlfriend but I don't know her ring size.?

Simple get some vine (grape is the best) circle it into a ring so it holds it's shape, give it to her just for playfulness, then at the end of the date get her to take it off, or if you live together, steal it when she goes to take a shower (it'll fall apart if wet). Take this ring to a jeweler and they can measure it and get her size. When the girl asks where it went say you accidently spilled water on it and it decinegrated.


What type of genetic change might  be present in a cancer cell  that might induce cellular changes?

A truly dangerous cancer cell has a number of characteristics- It undergoes uncontrolled division, it does not go through normal cell death (cellular suicide program-apoptosis), it is not constrained within it's normal biological area (e.g. a liver cancer cell will travel outside of the liver, while a normal liver cell will stay confined within the tissue).  So, any mutation that effects the cell suicide program, any mutation that changes the controls on cell division, and any mutation that causes the cell to travel outside the normal boundaries might be considered cancerous changes.

Who discovered the double helical model of DNA??

Watson and Crick got the credit, but Rosalind Franklin was actually the person who made the discovery.\n\nFranklin was a very meticulous researcher, and she suspected the structure was a double helix. Franklin's research advisor apparently wasn't keen on women in the lab, and showed some of Franklin's best data to Francis Crick without Franklin's knowledge or permission. It's not clear that Watson and Crick would have correctly predicted the double helix without Franklin's data.\n\nSadly, Franklin died of cancer before the Nobel prize was awarded to Watson and Crick. Had she lived, it's extremely likely she would have shared the prize.

Has anyone seen benefits from doing Pilates?

I saw benefits from it the first time I did it.  But that could be because I used to be a weightlifter.  I already had the muscle there, it just went flat.  So when I did it, I immediately noticed results.  Also with pilates, you really have to concentrate and pull the muscles in, in order for it to work.  If you don't feel tension in your core when you are doing pilates, then you're probably not doing them right.  It's hard to do them from a video if you are an exercise beginner.  Also, pilates is for toning muscle, it really won't help with weight loss like walking or jogging, simply because it's not raising your heartrate enough to burn the fat.

Generally, venture capital is funding given to early stage (start up) companies.  The funding is used to finance the operations of the company until it reaches the point where it can either fund it's own operation through sales, can be purchased by a mature company, or becomes large enough to seek public capital through an issuing of stock (IPO).  \n\nIntroductions to venture investors are made through formal and informal networking of individuals within and outside of the profession. If you wish to attract venture capital you should develop a 'pitch' that includes a targeted business plan.  There are websites devoted to helping people develop these plans (see sources below).  Some potential sources of VC contacts-  talk with anyone and everyone you know with in your industry of interest, alumni networks either of your school or the schools of your industry, or the schools venture capitalists attend (think top MBA programs), some angel investors, business schools and venture firms sponsor 'pitch nights' where just about anyone can present their business plan for review.\n\nThe interest of an angel or VC investor in your plan will depend on the potential of your idea.  Some simple questions a VC asks- will it make money? will it make enough money to justify the investment in it?  is the idea patentable?  is the ides defendable or easily copied by others? is this an attractive industry?  is this an attractive business relative to our other investments?


why do we say that amphibians have a double life?

Half of their life is spent underwater eating underwater things.  The rest of their life is spent out of water eating out of water things.  They occupy two niches in thier life.  So essentially they live as two animals in their life.  Kind of like how Whitney Houston lived most of her life as the greatest diva ever, and the rest as a good punchline for drug abuse jokes.


Well isnt that obvious. You have to be a Baja.


why did whites stole blacks and make em their slaves?

That is not a question that anyone can answer now. We do not live in that time era, nor do we know what their thoughts were or the people that sold them to the white people. All we can do is speculate which is wrong because we have no clue as to what was said, done, or accomplished by what means at the time. We only know by 3rd and 4th hand word if not more and even second hand word isn't allowed in a court of law.\nWhat bothers me is that there is still so much hatred. I don't even see that among the Jews and the Germans and look at what Hitler and the Nazi's did to the Jews. They actually live together in the same area without all this hatred that continues between the blacks and whites. What was done to the black people was wrong just like what was done to the Jews was wrong, but continuing to hate either blacks or whites accomplishes two things - more hatred and more prejudice.


Does anyone have any tips for going to Jazz Fest in New Orleans?

Go see as much music as you can.  The big stages are great but don't forget the local music you can see on the smaller stages.  Eat a lot.

Cabrini on Esplanade offers safe parking for $20.\n\nNo matter what, have a good time!

Why does India produce the maximum number of films in the world inspite of having the lowest success %?

They probably dont have the best success % because they dont use as high tech or high quality equipment.\n\nThis would cause their movie to be worse quality and the viewers wouldnt like the movie as much\n\nAlso, they wouldnt be able to get the same graphical features and special effects used in other countries.\n\nAlthough, because their equipment isnt as high tech, it doesnt cost as much for them to make a movie and therefore they might still have a possible chance to profit off of it

I am getting married in 4 months, but I am always fighting with my wife-2-be. Is this to be expected or is thi

It's not about IF you fight, it's about HOW you fight. \n\nThere are always going to be dissagreements, you are two different people and you have seperate thoughts. The time of your life right before a wedding can be very stressful, but there are many stressful events in life, you don't want to be duking it out all the time.  But what is most important is the way you fight.\n\nIf you disagree, and both get a little heated holding your own and then make up and let it go.... you are probably fine.  You might want to figure out why you're fighting, if it's communication issues, stuborneness, or temper.  But all of those can learn to be overcome or controlled.\n\nBUT.... if your fighting reduces to name calling, tantrums, wall punching, or hitting then there is a respect issue.  ANd that becomes a problem.  Fights like that are usually the beginning of the end. The issues there go far beyond spats, and will become the walls between you on the way to divorce.\n\nThis is also a good time to evaluate her issues.  Is she starting the fights?  Is it becuase she's not getting her way?  Or is it both your faults?  Is this how she handles stress?  Does she blame you for everything?\n\nMake sure that your sweethearts character is all you thought it would be.  Peoples true self comes out when they are under stress.   \n\nTry and evaluate why you are fighting. If you two are like most couples it's probably working out the communication issues, and every new couple has them.  If you are both mature adults they will work themselves out in time. And you'l be great.  But if there is more to it than that now.... the pressures of marriage, and day to to day life may prove to be more than you bargained for.\n\nGood Luck!  Let us know what happens.

Why dont the Packers get rid of Brett Favre?? or Why cant Brett Favre make a decision?????

It's simple.  You can't trade or cut a player like Favre because of his status with the team.  He's just like JoePa at Penn State.  Prior to last year, Penn couldn't fire him because of what he has meant to the organization.  EVERYONE wants Favre to retire as a Packer, including management.\n\nI think we as fans get crazy of Favre's indecision but because he is a general of the game and the team, he wouldn't do anything that would truly hurt the team.  He knows that he can only last one more year and they already have their QB of the future in Rodgers so that won't affect the draft.  Favre's indecision isn't going to hurt the team.  If he's coming back the Packers will take him with open arms.  If he doesn't, the Packers will give him a big hug goodbye, no hard feelings.


do we need hemorroids is it something our body needs or can do with out????

No, we don't need hemorroids, but some people just seem more prone to them than others.  The only suggestions that I have is:\n1.  Drink more water.\n2.  increase your fiber intake to prevent constipation.  Constipation will only aggrevate the problem.  Straining will *definately* worsen things.  So try to eliminate at least once a day.\n3.  Try to get more exercise such as walking to lessen pressure on the bottom.\n4.  Of course, try some over-the-counter creams to reduce swelling of the tissues.  \n\nAs for which method of surgery is best, only a doctor could answer that one.  Hope this helps.


Usual this does not just happen at one time of the day so if that is the case then it may be because of one or more of the things you have listed.  I suggest you eliminate them one by one ans see what happens.

Alas, my city is no more, but it stood near Selcuk in modern Turkey, what ancient wonder am I?

Troy is a good answer and certainly a famous one, but I'm going to go with Gordion, capital city of ancient Turkey but now no more. I wonder whether it had anything to do with the famous "Gordion Knot?" It was fun looking this up. Thanks for the question!


Hmm think maybe you deleted an important sytem file like startup.ini or something. Asking for the disk means it wants a floppy. I would check the BIOS settings and make sure it is booting to the hard drive first, then try to start in safe mode by pressing f8 while it boots (if it gets that far) Otherwise sounds like you need to reinstall the operating . It probably wants a boot floppy, use one if you have one.


my hippie isn't housebroken!!!!!! HELP!!!!!!?

i am compelled to speak out on this issue. first the term "housebroken" does not mean i dont know how to use a toilet. im quite sure i can use a toilet faster than any of you!, as i dont like sitting in my own stank, contrary to popular belief. and you know none of those "garb" mags are allowed in the house. the same goes w/ any cosmo. mags! some would like to believe "big hair" is groovy, ask earl for instance. quite the groovy dude if i dont say so., maybe has some lame friends, but that happens to the best of us. i have yet to find a acceptable brownie recipe, maybe its just the "grade" ive used in the past, as i dont like wasting the good stuff by melting it down in the butter. times are hard dont you know. and on the subject of stevie, maybe gay, maybe not, but is a classic. never changes, thats what i like...sometimes. people who dont change. not like most, but not all, of the retards on this site. the ones who will edit the "right" ones, but leave the obvious molesters, perverts and pedophiles, (not to mention your run of the mill common dumba**). even though i enjoy this "game", if i had to pick i would say i hope it doesnt work out in beta stage. people are just too f**king dumb sometimes. though i would like to say its worth the "non-dumba**s ive encountered here, sadly i cannot.\n\no, and im out of sandalwood. btw, my garage is the coolest place in the universe, some even say it is the "center of the universe". i think he was on "best question" alittle while ago.\n\nand dont hold your breath on that maturing thing\n\nand those that are into seal clubing should be stuffed into a sock like my magic eight ball and hurled into the cement several,,,thousand times, i guess. AND I DONT LIKE GRANOLA ALREADY!! well, not very much.


What is the average ,that employees work at a Mental Health facility?[Residential]?

I am not sure, why don't you look around in your locality and phone around. good.luck


i was wondering if there is anything healthy that you can eat as much as you want of without gaining weight?

Well they are called negative calorie food. Celery, cucumbers, pickles (watch the salt) bell peppers..These foods take more calories to digest than you take in. The trick is to combine those with other foods to have a healthy snack. Notice these are all high in fiber. Some people do the celery and peanut butter route, its a nutritious snack. Zero calorie drinks are also a way to help it along. I'm a huge fan of herbal tea, no calories no caffeine.

Suicides—A Resurrection?\n\nTHE tragic news of a suicide does not close a chapter in the lives of relatives and friends; it opens one—a chapter of mixed feelings of pity and anger, sorrow and guilt. And it raises the question: May we entertain any hope for our friend who took his or her life?\n\nAlthough self-inflicted death is never justified, never righteous, the apostle Paul did hold out a beautiful hope for even some unrighteous ones. As he told a Roman court of law: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Acts 24:15. \nMany theologians have long dismissed any suggestion that the resurrection of the unrighteous might offer hope for those who commit suicide. Why?\n\nCenturies ago, churchmen introduced a non-Biblical concept: immortal souls that leave the body at death and go straight to heaven, purgatory, Limbo, or hell. That concept clashed with the Bible’s clear teaching of a future resurrection. As Baptist minister Charles Andrews asked: “If the soul is already blissfully in heaven (or is already justifiably roasting in hell), what need is there for anything further?” He added: “This inner contradiction has remained to plague Christians throughout the centuries.”\n\nOne result of such errant theology was that “since Augustine’s time [354-430 C.E.], the church has condemned suicide as a sin,” says Arthur Droge in the Bible Review, “a sin beyond redemption, just like apostasy and adultery.”\n\nJesus told a criminal sentenced to death: “You will be with me in Paradise.” The man was unrighteous—a lawbreaker rather than a distraught suicide victim—guilty by his own frank admission. (Luke 23:39-43) He had no hope of going to heaven to rule with Jesus. So the Paradise in which this thief could hope to come back to life would be the beautiful earth under the rule of Jehovah God’s Kingdom.—Matthew 6:9, 10; Revelation 21:1-4.\n\nFor what purpose will God awaken this criminal? So that He mercilessly can hold his past sins against him? Hardly, for Romans 6:7, 23 says: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin,” and “the wages sin pays is death.” Although his past sins will not be accounted to him, he will still need the ransom to lift him to perfection.\n\nOnly God can fully understand the role of mental sickness, extreme stress, even genetic defects, in a “suicidal crisis,” which, the National Observer noted, “is not a lifetime characteristic [but] often a matter only of minutes or of hours.”\nGranted, one who takes his own life deprives himself of the opportunity to repent of his self-murder. But who can say whether one driven to suicide might have had a change of heart had his fatal attempt failed? Some notorious murderers have, in fact, changed and earned God’s forgiveness during their lifetime.\nThus, Jehovah, having paid “a ransom in exchange for many,” His Son, is within his right to extend mercy, even to some self-murderers, by resurrecting them and giving them the precious opportunity to “repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance.”\n\nThe Scriptures encourage us to see ourselves, not as immortal souls, but as valuable creations of the God who loves us, who treasures our being alive, and who looks forward with joy to the time of the resurrection.\n\n4000 years had passed from Adam & Eve, Jesus said to a Religious Leader that no one had gone to Heaven, and millions of people had passed away in death. This is a quote from the King James Bible: \n\nJohn 3:13 " And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven," \nit seems to me, this would eliminate the "immortal soul" belief, not only that, if you go to Heaven or Hell when you die, you completely do away with the resurrection that the Bible speaks about, because the resurrection is suppose to take place after Jesus comes the second time, and that has not happened.

The role of a server is to provide services to clients. Examples: DHCP, Printer, Security, Application sharing, DNS, Web hosting, and the list goes on and on and on. Perhaps the best way to say it, is it allows you to have all these services with out having to actually put it on your own computer.


It seems to me that he was sending out signals that he wants to be more than friends with you.  When you didn't respond, he felt like you weren't interested in him.  In my opinion, you should talk to him.  Explain why it isn't practical for you to date right now.  If he's a true friend he'll understand.  Who knows, maybe you can leave the door open for a more meaningful relationship in the future.\n\nGood Luck!

What is the fundamental difference between logical and relational operators?

Logical operators don't Compare values they combine Boolean values and produce a Boolean result. Examples of logical operators are && (and), ||, (or),  ! (not). If you have two Boolean values and you combined them with the && operator the result will be (TRUE) only if both values were (TRUE). If you combined them with the || operator the result will be TRUE if any of them or both of them were TRUE.\nRelational operators compare two values and produce a Boolean result. Most of the time we use logical operators to combine the results of two or more comparison expressions that use relational operators. For instance we may say:\nIf( a > b && a <= c) { do something}\nThis means that if both expressions a>b AND a <= c are TRUE the result will be true and the body of the if statement will be executed.

what is the theme of the john keats poem "a thing of beauty is a joy for ever"?

The poem 'Endymion',which begins with the marvellous phrase"a thing of beauty is a joy for ever" is a free treatment of the Greek myth of Endymion, a chieftain king, and his passion for the Moon Goddess Cynthia.\nThe central idea is the quest for ideal beauty:how the poet longs for full communion with the essential spirit of beauty and how through the exercise of active human sympaties he achieves his quest.

What is the difference between salsa & latin jazz?

Salsa is not easily defined. Who invented salsa? The Cubans, Puerto Ricans? Salsa is a distillation of many Latin and Afro-Caribbean dances. Each played a large part in its evolution.\n\nSalsa is similar to Mambo in that both have a pattern of six steps danced over eight counts of music. The dances share many of the same moves. In Salsa, turns have become an important feature, so the overall look and feel are quite different form those of Mambo. Mambo moves generally forward and backward, whereas, Salsa has more of a side to side feel. \n\nLatin-influenced jazz is characterized by Latin dance rhythms combined with jazz melodies and chord progressions. Latin influences began to enter mainstream American popular music in the 1930's. During the 1950's and 1960's these influences became particularly strong, with Latin dances such as the mambo, cha-cha-cha, samba, and bossa nova becoming extremely popular in the United States. Other Latin dances such as the salsa and merengue continue to be an influence today.\n\nSome bandleaders who infused a Latin element into their bands are Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Kenton. Other musicians who incorporate Latin elements into their music include Brazilian drummer Airto Moreira, Peruvian percussionist Alex Acuña, Cuban trumpeter, pianist, composer and protegé of Dizzy Gillespie Arturo Sandoval, pianist Eddie Palmieri, percussionists Tito Puente and Poncho Sanchez, bandleader Mario Bauza, trombonist Steve Turré, and alto saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera.

Which ranking in the search results got the most click?

With pay per click marketing sometimes the top ad will be overpriced by aggressive competitors overbidding. In competitive markets from a return on investment standpoint sometimes ranking #2 - #5 is best.\n\nAs far as organic search goes, since their is no real cost to getting more traffic the higher you can rank the better.\n\nCTR also depends on relevancy. A better page title may cause a #2 or #3 listed site to get more traffic.\n\nAtlas OnePoint showed stats for CTR by position for pay per click ads about 1.5 years ago. Graphics of those stats are in the attached. Also keep in mind that for most queries most of the traffic goes to the organic search results.

Another look at the whole alien phenomenon tell what you think?

The alien phenomenon is actually a belief system that compliments evolution. If you notice, the vast majority of evolutionists embrace the 'alien religion'. This is their way of explaining the complexity of things and for doing away with the belief of a supernatural Creator. Alienism and atheistic evolution have very similar beliefs and require an extraordinary amount of faith far beyond the faith required to believe in the Biblical Genesis account. Alienism and atheistic evolutionism are both dangerous cultic religions.

How do you know if  \nyou're a racist, if \nthat's all you've ever \nknown?

The more a person is exposed to a bigger group, the greater the possibility of self-realization that there is a better way (other than thinking that another culture is lower than one's own). \n\nSuch behavior may be understandable for children who are not as exposed nor experienced but adults definitely need behavior modification.\n\nAnd yes, with education, racism can be altered to acceptance.


How did the disease cancer get its name?

Hippocrates described several kinds of cancers. He called benign tumours oncos, Greek for swelling, and malignant tumours carcinos, Greek for crab or crayfish. This strange choice of name probably comes from the appearance of the cut surface of a solid malignant tumour, with a roundish hard center surrounded by pointy projections, vaguely resembling the silhouette of a crab. He later added the suffix -oma, Greek for swelling, giving the name carcinoma. Today, carcinoma is the medical term for a malignant tumor derived from epithelial cells. It is Celsus who translated carcinos into the Latin cancer, also meaning crab. Galen used "oncos" to describe all tumours, the root for the modern word oncology. [1


Chlorophyll it is a green photosynthetic pigment found in plants. The green absorbs the blue and red parts of the light spectrum which is used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a chemical and energy proceses that converts sun light, water, and carbon dioxide (what humans breath out) to sugar, and sugar is what the plant uses as it's form of food.\n\nAlso this should be placed in biology category, as earth science is the study of earthquakes, the atomsphere and subjects like that. Plants is a study of biology.


Topographic maps, also called contour maps, topo maps or topo quads (for quadrangles), are maps that show topography, or land contours, by means of contour lines. Contour lines are curves that connect contiguous points of the same altitude (isohypse). In other words, every point on the marked line of 100 m elevation is 100 m above mean sea level.\n\nhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/79/Topographic_map_example.png/300px-Topographic_map_example.png\n\nhttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/4/4c/Topographic-Relief-perspective-sample.jpg/300px-Topographic-Relief-perspective-sample.jpg\n\n \nPart of the same map in a perspective shaded relief view illustrates how the contour lines of the original follow the terrainThere are several rules to note when viewing topographic maps:\n\nThe rule of Vs: sharp-pointed vees usually are in stream valleys, with the drainage channel passing through the point of the vee, with the vee pointing upstream. This is a consequence of erosion. \nThe rule of Os: closed loops are normally uphill on the inside and downhill on the outside, and the innermost loop is the highest area. If a loop instead represents a depression, some maps note this by short lines radiating from the inside of the loop, called "hachures". \nSpacing of contours: close contours indicate a steep slope; distant contours a shallow slope. Two or more contour lines merging indicates a cliff. \nOf course, to determine differences in elevation between two points, the contour interval, or distance in altitude between two adjacent contour lines, must be known, and this is given at the bottom of the map. In most cases, contour intervals are consistent throughout a map. Sometimes dashed contour lines are present; these represent half the noted contour interval.\n\nThese maps usually show not only the contours, but also any significant streams or other bodies of water, forest cover, built-up areas or individual buildings (depending on scale), and other features and points of interest.

Our grown daughter has nothing to do with her famiy.  How can we move on and deal with our loss?

oh this is so sad, and for me, because I have the opposite problem, my mother really has little to do with me.  I can feel the pain in your words.\nI think the best you can do is keep the door open, never close it to her altogether.  Let her know you are there, don't ask for anything in return however much it hurts.  Send her a little gift on her birthday, or when you hear the baby is born, and however angry or hurt you might feel, try hard to keep a lid on it, just try to find joy in other things,  I don't know if you have other children, but if not, maybe do things together, reinforce your relationships with other people, that will help you know you are worthy of love even if not from your daughter right now.\nAnd who knows?  If she is pregnant then the birth of her baby might make her realise what being a mother is, and that sometimes we get it wrong, and maybe she will soften?\n\nI hope it works out for you, please don't give up

Are Bush and Osama playing intentionally? Have they any secret relationship among themselves?

You know, I've wondered that myself. Don't forget, Osama worked for the Central Intelligence Agency back in the 1980s when he was fighting the Russians in Afghanistan. I have wondered if they never dropped him off the payroll.\n\nAs to why he hasn't been arrested, even though the CIA knows where he is. It is because he is in Waziristan, which is in western Pakistan. The US government, and rightly so, is worried that an incursion into Pakistan to arrest Osama would destabilize the Pakistani government, potentially leading to their overthrow by fundamentalists.\n\nAnd as you probably know, Pakistan has nuclear weapons. Having fundamentalist loons with nukes is about the worst case scenario, period. So Bush lets Osama roam free because he wants to keep Musharraf in power.

Why do men always think they're right, when they obviously dont even know what they're talking about?

Yes I agree with you.  Women should be treated as equals.  It's an old stigma thing that men maintained over women throughout history.

I am pootie whipped and always give in to my girlfriend though so I may not be the best person to be answering this.\n\nMaybe your guy is just stubborn and maybe he's on the rag.

If he's new, I guess there's nothing wrong with popping over and telling him hi and welcoming him to ur church. Since your'e the 1 who's interested in him, u should go talk to him cause I doubt this guy is a mind reader.

how can i look unique and stand out from the crowd and get their attention?

Are you really, really sure you want to?  Why?  What good will it do you?  Just makes you a target!  You may think it makes you a target for admiration, and for some, I suppose it does.  Even envy is something some girls like (although it is dangerous).  But it also makes you a target for abuse, criticism, and potentially dangerous attention.\n\nThe most beautiful women are pretty quiet, actually.  They try not to stand out, to emphasize their beauty (not mask it actually, but shield it), because of the threat of grabby men and envious women.  And nowadays, grabby women!\n\nSo think twice about your style.  Do you want to stand out with flash and glitter, or be quietly unusual for having excellent taste and judgment in what to wear, how to do your hair, etc.

So what about those churches that dance with snakes?

My BIBLE tells me the following concerning snakes (serpents):\n\n\nLuk 10:19  Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. \nLuk 10:20  Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. \n\nJust because HE gives us power doesn't mean that we are to use it foolishly..because we are also told the following:\n\nMat 4:7  Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. \n\n\nwhen it comes to the handling of the snakes, I have no desire to tempt GOD thanks just the same.\n\nGOD BLESS YOU!

Who was the last NHL player who did not wear a helmet?

The answers are correct.  Craig McTavish was the last player to not wear a helmet.  There were several players who didn't wear helmets after the rule change came in and they were allowed to continue due to a grandfather clause that allowed any player who did not wear a helmet before the rule change, could continue without one.  It was discouraged though, as it was a liability issue.


why is tv shows exploite children like nickelodeon?

Ultimately you have to understand that Nickelodeon and similar companies...even Disney, are ran by adults-not children.  The main function of these businesses is to make money.  In order to make money they have to have paying customers or at least high ratings.  In order to do this you have to have the parents on your side.  So by placing little sexual comments that go right over a 5 year old's head, you also provide entertainment for the adults that have to sit and watch television with their children or pay to take them into a movie.  Parents usually don't mind watching these shows, but they really don't mind if there are some things in the movie that attract their attention yet have the children not knowing any better.  It's all about the all mighty dollar my friend.
