Usually labor is the major cost of making anything. The cost of concrete as a percentage of the building whole is probably a small amount. I just looked up the average concrete cost per home -around $6500 for an average sized home. An average priced home in the USA is $227,000 (the market can vary widely - here in California the average price is around $450,000) Anyway, the concrete cost is only about 3% of the total cost of building a home - not much, and thus affordable. Yes, I know that modern office buildings probablky have a higher percentage of concrete, but it still is not the major cost of a building - labor is.
Chromosomal analysis has shown that both groups have the same number of chromosomes. They've found a skeleton of a boy who looks very much like an offspring of both those groups from that time period 30,000 years ago.
Mules are sterile because horses and donkeys have differing numbers of chromosomes. Horses with 64(32 x2) and donkeys with 62 (31x2) with the resulting offspring with 63.
Neanderthals and homo sapiens have the same # of chromosomes and can interbreed, just like a different breeds of dogs can.
It's nice to know that our ancestors were getting their freak on, oh so long ago. Now a quick question would be if the cavemen nerds were into mamoth trunk porn.
Saw in the news toaday that 100 NEW icebergs were spotted off the New Zealand coast. Some are a mile long, 400 feet high. Just between you and me, that doesn't sound right.
But if they're going to do it, then why not make it photovoltaic and get some energy out of it.
Blocking/decreasing photosynthesis would be bad, since it's one of only ways to decrease the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
We need to plant more trees to replace the devastation going on in South America, limit our CO2 production. America would be smart and try to help polish it's now tarnished reputation by taking a lead in this, and start by decreasing the amount of SUVs on the road.
Washed up as in not current - one CD in 10++ years definitely qualifies as that. . How many people under 30 bought any of that stuff - very few. Yes you will find exceptions, but in general, these bands were popular a while ago.
I guess we're differing on what washed up refers to - you're talking about money, I'm talking about musical relevance. Reunion tours, and album releases every 12 years or so kinda mean they're done.
The Catholic Church has made it official that the age of the universe (15 billion years or so(,the fossil record are all valid. Evolution is understood to be valid. Go check wikipedia if ya doubt me.
Just looking at the bands he manages - they're mostly washed up, even one of the newer ones - Billy Brag, was "popular" about 20 years ago. He also further demonstrated his poor grasp on reality when he mentioned rich tenured professors. LOL! Professors rich??? Slave away in academia for 100K a year - that's not rich.
I really like the idea of dolphins growing new legs and coming ashore. What if they're really funny, or maybe they're really bad drunks? Now you won't be able to go into the mosh pit, 'cause some 800 pound drunk dolphin is there and he's tearing up the place.
You need CRATES - LOTS OF THEM!!!

I actually volunteered there for a while on 7 Second Delay, with Ken and Andy. WFMU kept me alive with Punk/Hardcore in the early 1980's when you couldn't find anywhere else to listen to music. It's one of the few stations that DJ's can have Mr. Sinatra, followed by the Bad Brains, and then some MC Soleil (a French rapper), and actually have the music flow sound good.
I've always felt that WFMU was the station to listen to, if you REALLY liked music.
Now I listen to it over the internet in Los Angeles.
Technically the physis is where the bone grows, and the epiphysis is the area between the physis and the joint. The metaphysis is on the other side of the physis, heading towards the center of the bone, and the diaphysis is right in the center.
Like so. Joint Epiphysis/Physis/Metaphysis/Diaphysis/Metaphysis/p hysis/epiphysis/joint.
I won't do anything on a computer that requires a password that I care about from a 'puter that isn't my home computer. It's too easy for someone else to install a key logger program, etc. I'm always amazed at the number who access their on-line banking from a terminal in the nurses lounge, etc.
I still won't access it from work from my personal office computer, cause ; 1) it runs Windows, and 2) it's on a network and the security guys are always running "updates" -who knows what's in there.
The numbers of a desireable BMI between 22-25 are from insurance actuarial tables. The people who lived the longest, and with the feqwest illnesses had a BMI between 22-25 on average. People with higher BMI than 25 did not live as long.
So, yes, it IS a useful measurement. Yes, it does not necessarily take into account very muscular people, but that's a small segment of the population, and so this still applies.
Humans were meant to be lean - do you recall seeing any porker sized hunter-gatherers?
I can't wait until designer prankster viruses come out. Imagine that instead of becoming sick, weird things happened to people. They might really! stink for a day, have their tongue turn numb, develop inappropriate laughter, only want to eat orange colored food, etc.
Might be kinda of fun - it would be like gold(?) kryptonite, but for people. Gold (I think) kryptonite had weird unpredictable effects of Superman. It might make the world a little more fun. Imagine going to some very stuffy conservative place, and everyone was burping all day long. Abuse potential would be rampant though. Someone from here might want to design a strain to make reallllllly hot chicks want to have sex with smelly fat geeks.
I think I mispoke slightly - most malignant soft tissue tumors tend to be >5cm and are deep to the fascia. When a lipoma that is >5cm and deep to the fascia is encountered it is reguarded as having a higher chance of being malignant and is recommended to be excised after proper imaging.
Dempsey Springfeild (at Colombbia) has recommended that small subcutaneous lipomas can be followed clinically, a MRI is recommended for the larger ones,that are deep to the fascia - so no we don't do MRIs for little subQ lipomas.
As to who should excise lipomas, I work at a tertiary referral center (large university) and often see patients who thought they have had a "lipoma" removed by a general surgeon, with a transverse incision, and it winds up being some sarcoma with positive margins.
Are you in the medical field too? - I'm a practicing musculoskeletal oncology surgeon.
A lipoma is benign, however they can undergo malignant transformation - just like any tissue in the body. Generally the small (5 cm and deep to the fascia ( a gristly layer over the muscle) tend to malignantly transform and should be excised.
Dermatologist generally don't do cancer operations - they take out skin lesions a bit at a time untill they hit healthy tissue. If something is deep to the skin - i.e. a lipoma, it should be removed by a surgeon (general, or orthopaedic) that specialises in oncology. The only real way to determine if they are benign is to examine it pathologically. Generally the benign ones tend to be soft,,the bad ones tend to be firmer and look funny on MRI.
Most people I came across in med school were honest. The ones who I thought were lazy/slackers/cheaters usually did not do well. The tests were set up in such a mannner that it was impossible to cheat - besides that since you studied soooo much by that point, you certainly did not want anyone else getting your hard studied answers. I proctored some exams - everyone keeps their head down and does the test. Cheat sheets are useless due to the voluminous amounts of information being tested.
I call bullpoop on this and would like to see this questionaire.

so it is very likely that we can use this to beam power and not heat up the earth.
Chromosomal analysis has shown that both groups have the same number of chromosomes. They've found a skeleton of a boy who looks very much like an offspring of both those groups from that time period 30,000 years ago.
and thereby can calculate the brain size. of the two groups, so it's no a guess.
The 2 groups could have just merged and incorporated each other.

Yes, I do know about the Clash(I happen to like them a lot) and Pink Floyd, but the Clash broke up 15-20 years ago?
As for Professors, on average they are not typically rolling around in money like your examples are. Go look up the AVERAGE wage for tenured profs
