Haplogroup C chromosomes are common south of the Phillipines, with a significantly greater diversity, calculated as the average variance of the repeat score across loci, in the southern populations (Southeast Asia and Melanesia) than in the northern ones (southern China and Taiwan) (P<.01; 1,000 bootstraps over chromosomes) (tables 1 and 2).

Given its proximity to the impressive reported P-value, I'm not sure if the term is a reference to genetics or statistics. Anybody know?

I have always wondered what happens to your text message if your phone is switched off. You can switch it back on a few weeks later and then you receive all your texts. Are they all just hanging around in the air or are they stored somewhere ?

Apparently, Rev. Bill McGinnis does.

Inspired by bird poop on his car, he states the earth was divinely/intelligently designed to clean itself up. He notes how different species eat dead bodies & decaying matter & that "The water in the rain tends to dissolve almost everything that needs to be cleaned up...The tapping action of the individual raindrops hastens and promotes the clean-up process."

He then goes on to describe the water cycle and the fact that EVOLUTION could not have designed the WEATHER (?) to be as perfect as it is. "Never is ten zillion years could all of these things come together so perfectly by chance to accomplish a needed objective like cleaning up."

Despite human being destroying the earth's balance (water pollution, acid rain, species destruction, dams). "Atheist" fabrication of evolution fails in the light of the fact that EARTH has no genes to randomly mutate.

Therefore we return to the core truth: "In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

I was wondering if the wood base would crack or wear away over time, because I was thinking of purchasing one, and was stuck between the more expensive but durable? ones, and the less expensive wood-base ones.

Many viruses mutate (HIV, AIDS, H5N1,Ebola) faster than expected... Giving medical care workers and doctors little time to ever develop medication to help fight or prevent these virus' from mutating then jumping from species to species, or eventually, human to human... Many Evolutionists and Scientists believe that virus are the next big step in evolution, and that the **** sapiens species is coming to an end.

An article I found today supports the idea of virus change, or evolution. It concerns H5N1, the Bird Flu, and how it has already began to mutate (http://healthandfitness.sympatico.msn.ca/Outbreaks+Show+Bird+Flu+Virus+Is+Changing/News/ContentPosting.aspx?isfa=1&newsitemid=185623046&feedname=CP-HEALTHSCOUT&show=True&number=5&showbyline=False&subtitle=&detect=&abc=abc).

Your thoughts....

What creates such protrusion in the neck?
And is it really gender related (prominence in men), or simply the association of folklore?
