categories of cilia: motile and non-motile (also called primary.
Examples of the former include sperm flagella and the cilia of
epithelial cells that line the airways. Examples of the latter
are mostly single cilia that protrude from the cell and act as
an antenna, usually packed with certain receptors (HH pathway,
Notch pathway etc.) In the inner ear, a primary cilium called
the kinocilium extends out of the center of the apical side of
hair cells and migrates to the lateral side over the course of a
few days. This cilium is non-motile, it is simply anchored to a
basal body which is pulled to one side of the cell. Does anyone
know of another such example in any other tissue? A single non-
motile primary cilium whose basal body migrates along the apical

Researchers propose these images of seven black spots near a
massive Martian volcano may actually be caves rather than impact
craters. The images were taken from the Thermal Emission Imaging
System aboard NASA's Mars Odyssey orbiter. Applying techniques
used to scope out caves on Earth to probe the possibility of
caves on Mars is paying off. NAU researchers Glen Cushing and
J. Judson Wynne, working at the U.S. Geological Survey, propose
that photos from the Mars Odyssey mission reveal football-field
size holes that could be entrances to caves. "If there is life
on Mars, there is a good chance you'd find it in caves," said
Wynne, an NAU graduate student in biological sciences and
project leader for the USGS Earth-Mars Cave Detection Program.
He said the possible discovery could lead to more focused Mars
explorations. Martian caves are considered the "best potential

Store EXODUS - The Pretender to the Throne of Pharaoh Fareeda
Ahmad - UK The Review of Religions, October 1996 One of the
most elusive historical figures to exist today is the Exodus
pharaoh, the cruel tyrannical figure who enslaved the Israelites
during their sojourn in Egypt. Of him it can justifiably be
said, 'they seek him here they seek him there, the
archaeologists seek him everywhere'. To be strictly fair, it is
a vacancy that has only recently cropped up. The Pharaoh had
been identified, wrapped up (quite literally) and presented to
the world in the last century as Ramesses the Great, son of Seti
the first, of the 19th Dynasty. The minds of Biblical
archaeologists having now been swayed due to factors I will
explain shortly, a considerable gap has been left in Biblical
History and a series of Pretenders to the Throne have been

frequently found around bathroom sinks, shower stalls, and pets'
water bowls, is not by the water supply but by naturally
occurring airborne bacteria that produce a reddish pigment.
There are numerous bacteria in the environment that find their
way onto bathroom and kitchen fixtures. Most do not cause
disease. These bacteria are found in soil, food, and on animals,
and they may become airborne because of construction or wind. It
is not uncommon to find the pinkish film appearing after new

highways, destroyed a truck stop and threw sparks onto downtown

explanation. With the core cultural activity of modern
Britain—shopping for stuff—losing its lustre, there are hints of
a nation groping for something more profound. For millions,
austerity Christmas will include a dose of carols. The trend has
been noticeable for a couple of years. The great cathedrals
expect to be packed on Christmas Eve. Charity services, family
services, carols by candlelight and sing-along concerts abound.
A London church, St Martin-in-the-Fields, is offering “carols
for shoppers”, while across town the grand organ of the Royal
Albert Hall, a 9,997-pipe monster, will pound through some two
dozen carol concerts in December. Anglican voices are prominent
in less cosy contexts, too. On December 6th the Archbishop of
Canterbury, Rowan Williams, made front-page news with a
commentary on the riots that gripped English towns last August.

with asthma. He is already a high energy kid, and when you add
being sick half the time, and then the breathing treatments that

pretty moody when the teachers tells him he needs to listen.
I’m actively working with the teacher to help get him on the
right track. He has his good days and bad days. But there has
been much improvement. I seriously wonder why this wasn’t an
issue in pre-k and wonder if he was allowed to “mouth back”
because I surely wasn’t told about this behavior. He is not a

that make nihonshu unique among the world's alcoholic beverages.
One is the process known as heiko fukuhakko, or multiple
parallel fermentation. In short, this means that
saccharification and fermentation take place simultaneously in
the same vat, as opposed to sequentially, as in other fermented
beverages. The other thing making sake unique is the use of
koji. Well, sort of. In fact, other beverages in Asia, most
noticeably shokoshu and baichu from China, use a form of this
marvelous mold. But the way it is done is a bit different. As
readers may recall, koji is a mold that creates enzymes as it

molecules that can be fermented by yeast cells. Koji also breaks
proteins down into flavor-enhancing amino acids. In Western

(Redirected from Lapidus) Jump to: navigation, search Lapidus
(including its variant spellings) is a surname rooted in the
Judeo-Christian tradition, specifically from "Lapidoth", which
was borne, in the Bible, by the husband of Deborah, and hence
probably derived from lapidot, the Hebrew word for torches,[1]
yet is not exclusive to one religion or nationality. [2] [3]
Lapidus is also derived from the Latin word lapideus, meaning
'made of stone'; 'stony',[4] also from the Latin lapis meaning
'stone'.[5] It could also be derived from the Latin adjective
lepidus meaning pleasant or charming. A branch of the Roman gens
Aemilia was cognominated Lepidus. Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was a
member of the Second Triumvirate, with Octavius (later Caesar
Augustus) and Marcus Antonius. In popular culture[edit] There
is a character named Frank Lapidus, a pilot played by Jeff
Fahey, on the ABC television show LOST. There is also a

about the managers who failed to deal with a mentally disturbed
employee. In today's world, you can't just have someone hauled
away for being "crazy." This woman is probably harmless, so I

an employee who was clearly out of touch with reality, I may
have used some overly colorful language to describe the
situation. I certainly did not intend to be insulting. But the
other employees did have a valid reason to be fearful. People
who believe they are being persecuted have been known to harm
others in an effort to protect themselves from imagined threats.

roaming pokemon's ivs, and nature are determined on your first

stay shiny. answered May 14, 2011 by Speed freak 2 votes I'm
pretty sure it does. It keeps Nature and stuff from first

Summary: Jerry is a Marine reservist who was a young patriot and
idealist when he served in the first Gulf War. But when he is
called up for deployment to Afghanistan and Iraq, Jerry is a
father of three; older and embittered by a life besieged by
broken promises, and unfulfilled desires. Jerry returns a
changed man, transformed by horrors committed that go beyond
comprehension and sanity, pain inflicted that cannot be
forgiven. He lives a life of poverty, his children afraid of his
unexplained outbursts of rage, his wife, Nora, unsympathetic to
the nosebleeds and night terrors he suffers. She hides money her
sons earn from their paper route in case they need to leave.
Their crowded trailer home becomes a prison. His failure as a

A student who stole 299 rare bird skins from the Natural History
Museum at Tring to fund his studies has been ordered to pay
£125,150 under the Proceeds of Crime Act. Edwin Rist, aged 22,
from the USA, was sentenced in April for the burglary, which
took place on 24 June 2009. He was previously given a 12-month
prison sentence, suspended for two years, and a supervision
order for 12 months. Following a hearing at St Albans Crown
Court today he was also given a confiscation order to pay back
£125,150, after also pleading guilty to money laundering
offences. This is the amount that it is estimated he later made
by selling the bird skins, stolen from a private collections
area in the Museum, on places like Ebay. Detective Sergeant Joe
Quinlivan, from Herts Constabulary’s Economic Crime Unit, said,
'This is a very positive result for us and sends a strong
message that making money through crime never pays. Rist has
