What: "This is a picture of a cilium showing where the BBS proteins are. Most of them sit at the bottom of the cilia, at a place called the basal body. The basal body is like the anchor of the cilium, joining it to the cell. Many of the BBS proteins are involved in intraflagellar transport and so can be found along the cilium as well."

What: "Life proceeds as an infinite series of questions that are posed to us and through us. Whether we pose the questions out of our free-thinking mind or whether they appear to be thrust upon us by circumstances, we can each make a case that in our particular atom of awareness, in our particular universe, each of these questions is of great moment.

"The idea driving "gay marriage" is the idea that "gay is like black" and that opposition to homosexual marriage is like opposition to interracial marriage. Intellectually, this is an utter misnomer. It's not discrimination to treat different things differently. Two men cannot fulfill the public purpose of marriage; indeed, their inclusion in the pool of married couples will undermine the very idea that marriage has a clear public purpose, rooted in the natural family and in the need for responsible procreation."
