This article refers to a study conducted by an Israeli nephrologist (I would have more confidence in the study if he were a geneticist) who found a common genetic marker in 97 to 98% of Kohanim that he studied. The article cites this study as strong evidence that these subjects have Aaron the high priest as a common ancestor. I would suggest that, given the restrictions on marriage observed by orthodox Kohanim, there are many common ancestors from much later than 1400 - 1200 BCE (about the time of the occupation of Palestine).

I work with several Jehovah's Witnesses at work and have noticed several odd things about them at work such as they don't celebrate holidays, have arranged marriages, and do not allowed blood transfusions.

Please do not use this opportunity to bash this group; I am truly interested in these questions and want to learn more about them so we can work more efficiently.

In some places I found PEN drive is the term and nowadays I am hearing the term USB flash drive. Is there any difference between Pen drive and Flash drive. Hoping for the best reply at the earliest.
Thanks and Regards,

Why do we have electoral votes? In the past, presidential candidates have focused on states that have the most electoral votes while practically ignoring other states. Wouldn't we have real democracy if a presidential candidate won the presidency by having the popular vote, and with every vote counting?
Who thinks this "winner take all" system is fair?

Example: (The 2000 presidential election)

Gore won the popular vote with 50,996,116 votes but only had 266 electoral votes.

Bush had 50,456,169 votes but he had 271 electoral votes.

How is it fair that Bush won even though he had less overall votes? Is this democracy?

(For those of you who think I'm mad because I voted for Gore, thats not the case, I voted for Bush, but I think Gore should have won.)

My friend was telling me that he was getting free Wii point cards.
I wanted to know where is a real site that you can do that without actually having to pay for anything, or anything like that.
I know it must be real, because I have known this guy for so long, he is like a brother, a father, and the future me all in one.
so he wouldn't lie to me, nor would he even have a reason to...

So where is a site like the one I described, or anyone where I can get free Wii points?

Well my first two births ended with me cracking my tailbone upon delivery but I think the cause was because I was in a semi sitting/laying position which in turn caused me to be pushing right down on my tailbone and because its curved funny, it cracked.....

Do you think that if I gave birth on all fours this time or squatting that it would help take the pressure off the tailbone and therefore possibly stop me hurting it?

It took like 4-6 months to heal properly with the other two kids so I really really don't want to go through that again!!

Any other birthing positions that could possibly help my situation?
The midwives at my hospital are pretty thick and not really into suggesting ways to make it easier for me, rather easier for them!

Thanks ladies and have a fantastic christmas tommorrow!!
