Depends on how finely you want to separate them. Hundreds are known. Hawaii natives, Alaska Natives, Iceland, French Polynesia, East Africa, Cuban natives. The list goes on.
I think a better analogy would be to be reading a list of the 'sins' of the pope in Vatican City vs reading the 'sins' of the members of "the commission of grand clerics" in Mecca. Probably both will get you the attention of police or ardents. Probably you would fare worse in the Kingdom.
You know what I find interesting. In Iraq, only recently has there been problems of AQI vs Christians. The whole civil war there was Muslim vs Muslim.
Here is a question for you, if Iraq was 90% "Christian," everything else being the same in 2003, would there have been Operation Iraqi freedom? Why or why not?
On a more personal note, no one in my immediate family has been attacked by muslims b/c of their religion, while my father has been physically attacked by "christians" b/c of his religion. And that in good ole' A-Merica!!
Why not religion in general? We know what the extremists believe and how they work, but what about the Catholic Church? That Baptist church down the street? Buddhism, Hinduism or the more mystical animistic religions. And Islam too. What do the leaders of religions do behind closed doors when no one (but $Deity) is listening?
One thing to do is to help people see that they would be better served if they didn't "believe" in something without just cause. Like a political party line, or a preacherman's teachings or a big bank's advertisements. People have great credulity when it comes to "their" congressman/pastor/banker/etc.
What Wikileaks is doing may rectify that. When there is a realization that trust in the powerful is misplaced... Now, if you timed that with the removal of 'bread and circuses,' Oh My!
Since every direction we look we see the same type of cosmology at the edge of visible space, 1)we are no closer than 13~bly from the edge of the universe, and 2)What is seen here has already followed the same pattern of galaxy life cycle that can be observed from looking from farthest away to closest in.
So, It still exists as a distinct galaxy or it has merged with another galaxy.
What's interesting to me is (1) This type of virus doesn't normally put its code into host dna. and (2)The Hep(b) fossil in the songbirds genome and the Hep(b) virus infecting humans now are almost identical... Things to ponder.
As to 'viruses' in host dna, it's called "fossil virus", kind of like an animal fossilized in limestone etc. Not an animal, but we can learn from them.
Sorry, I reread my first post and realized that it really didn't say what I was thinking. I deserved that flame mod. If it is just a movie within a textbook, then it will be better than a pic, but not by much.
Really, students will make what they want to of school, right?
I longed to learn more about teh science and maths and didn't like that my teachers (by 10th grade) didn't know what they were teaching. (Not really their fault, one was a biology major just beginning to teach physics)
I was thinking more to use multitouch as a way to let student have a degree of input. If it was responsive (quick) and was robust enough for more than just a few pre-programmed 'movies' then it might help students who wanted to explore knowledge.
Imagine three fingers used to describe the vertices of a triangle. And then moving one point and watching the angles and sin cos and tan change. (That is what I was thinking)
Or dragging an H2O molecule into a Fe surface and watch the reaction.
I can dream right? The pessimist in me says it will probably be a way for a lazy/distracted/addicted to Internet teacher to not have to work. And the laggards will play and the driven students will program games or such.
Whether it be ipad or an Android tablet, I would love to see a interactive tablet for students that shows g or f=ma or the basis of trig in animated form. i.e. an animated triangle that shows what sin cos and tan really are... Oh, and chemical reactions. Those could be awesome for someone interested.
Also a way to read to young children where they see the word as they hear it. Although parent(s) reading to their kids would be better in my mind...
Hopefully this doesn't turn into a distracting of students or virtual experiments that don't react like in real life.
Every belief system that I know of except the actual bible teaches every human has some immortal/ethereal spirit or soul. I suggest that the next time some 'christian' asks you the worm food question, reply by asking what happened to Adam when he died? The answer is in Genesis 3:19:
By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return."
For added fun, ask them what the original lie was(according to the bible it's this:Genesis 3:4,5: You will not surely die," the serpent said to the woman. "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."). If they know, then ask them, Is it really a lie since Adam and Eve are immortal souls still alive. (as a side point, almost all 'Christians' I have asked say Adam is in Heaven or will be soon.)
While I can't speak for Catholicism, or for that matter, the vast majority of 'Christians,' I can tell you that their guidebook says that humans and animals and anything with blood are souls. The things that swim in the oceans and 'breathe' through gills or lungs are souls. Oh, and souls die. Even human souls die. The Greek idea of an immortal ethereal soul is not in the Bible. And neither is eternal torment in Hellfire. As to when an embryo/fetus becomes a soul, see here
Like you say, it looks at the part of the brain that controls a person's mouth, lips, tongue. So it's reading how you think the actual mechanism of speech, how you move your mouth for the words. It would be interesting to see if the brain waves for 'yes', 'no' etc. were similar in speakers of the same language, b/c the basic mouth movements are the same...
Which "speech center(s)"? There's two main regions, neither of which can do the job alone.
Both.... From another article: "Each of two grids with 16 microECoGs spaced 1 millimeter (about one-25th of an inch) apart, was placed over one of two speech areas of the brain: First, the facial motor cortex, which controls movements of the mouth, lips, tongue and face -- basically the muscles involved in speaking. Second, Wernicke's area, a little understood part of the human brain tied to language comprehension and understanding."
"One unexpected finding: When the patient repeated words, the facial motor cortex was most active and Wernicke's area was less active. Yet Wernicke's area "lit up" when the patient was thanked by researchers after repeating words. It shows Wernicke's area is more involved in high-level understanding of language, while the facial motor cortex controls facial muscles that help produce sounds, Greger says."
As to the scary part, just wait till they get to the next step: 11x11 grids and not just 4x4
In case you are curious, Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins. Nucleotides are the building blocks of RNA and DNA. Also ATP (the fuel of life)
So Miller-Urey Experiment was able to make Amino Acids of both chiralities equally (only L is used by all life)

Bees and angiosperms are coeval. Just in case you wanted to know. ~100 million years old.
We see cosmic microwave background radiation from ~400,000 years after the Big Bang, according to Wiki.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmic_background_radiation
So we can theoretically see out to BB+~400k years
Since every direction we look we see the same type of cosmology at the edge of visible space, 1)we are no closer than 13~bly from the edge of the universe, and 2)What is seen here has already followed the same pattern of galaxy life cycle that can be observed from looking from farthest away to closest in.
So, It still exists as a distinct galaxy or it has merged with another galaxy.

PS NO, it's not still in the location we observe it today, it has moved quite a bit since it emitted that 13.1billion year old light.

You had interactive video in your school? How did that work. What sort of inputs were you able to make? That is awesome!!!

Replying to self. Sorry, "updates" is old, since Dec '09

Googling "Google Search" does this. Is this new? I've never seen it...

Here is a video of this Cri-cri.
Angle of attack seems high, and the landing looked a little rough.
Looking at that picture full resolution provided by bad astronomer, there are quite a few galaxies hanging around in the background. Awesome!
Amino Acids? Yes. Nucleotides? No.
In case you are curious, Amino Acids are the building blocks of proteins. Nucleotides are the building blocks of RNA and DNA. Also ATP (the fuel of life)
So Miller-Urey Experiment was able to make Amino Acids of both chiralities equally (only L is used by all life)
But Nucleotides? No.
I was wondering where to insert this article. But it may help with the problem you mention.

Numbers 5:17 says plainly the Bitter waters are Holy waters with the dirt/dust of the tabernacle/temple floor mixed in. What were you thinking?
Numbers 5:17:(NIV) Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water.
