.... classroom. Three specific questions guide the discussion: 1) Why should sociologists concern themselves with the Internet?; 2) What are the various Internet technologies available to sociologists?, and; 3) How can faculty begin to integrate these technologies into their classrooms and research. Key words: teaching sociology, information technology, on-line teaching Introduction Information technology is quickly becoming the hub of efforts within the higher education community. Indeed, colleges and universities have demonstrated a fierce rush to amass technological tools, and are only now addressing the possibilities for adapti .....

.... Dystrophin associates with the muscle fiber sarcolemma by interacting with the actin microfilaments and with a transmembrane protein complex linked to the extracellular matrix. This latter dystrophin-associated glycoprotein complex (DAGC) includes the extracellular proteoglycan, [Alpha]-dystroglycan, which binds to merosin in muscle fiber basal laminae, as well as a number of other integral and cytoplasmic membrane proteins: [Alpha]-dystroglycan; [Alpha]-, [Beta]- and [Gamma]- sarcoglycans (see Figure 1). The DAGC provides a physical link and, potentially, a signaling pathway between the extracellular matrix and the internal scaffoldin .....

.... Athena changed the body of Arachne into a spider and allowed her to retain her weaving skill. My first selection is the brown recluse spider. The brown recluse spider (Loxosceles reclusa) is a poisonous spider in in the United States. Its mostly found from Kansas and Missouri, south to Texas, and west to California. Found in sheltered places indoors and outdoors it is about 10 mm (.4 in.) long and has an orange-yellow body with a dark violin-shaped design on its back. Its bite isn't usually fatal to humans, the venom destroys the skin and it may take a few months to heal. The brown recluse is mostly active at night. .....

.... Years later, some of the people from this village are dying from disease. my point is that before they came to the cities, they had always died of old age ...) FIRST of all, it is important to know that the "greenhouse effect" is not a bad thing in itself. In fact, this planet would be a life-less waste land without its natural greenhouseing. There are a collection of gases called "greenhouse gases," which are water vapor, carbine dioxide, ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, and chlorofluorocarbons (CFC). Without the natural greenhouse effect, the surface temperature of our planet would be an average of -18°C (zero degrees F). The mixtu .....

.... disease. Type I generally occurs during adolescence, with an average age of onset of sixteen years for females and twenty-two years for males. Type II affects people over sixty years of age. There are several immunological abnormalities associated with psoriasis. Early psoriatic changes occur in advancing lesions before the accumulation of inflammatory cells. These changes are mediated by activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and can be detected before visible pathology to the skin occurs. Activated T lymphocytes exhibiting an increase in HLA-DR and IL-2R can be seen in close proximity to Langerhans cells in the dermis before lesion .....

.... of having X-linked ocular . The description is a hereditary deficiency pigmentation. This could involve the entire body or part of the body. This is believed to be caused by an enzyme deficiency involving the metabolism of melanin during prenatal development. This can be inherited by an dominant or recessive trait. In complete , there is lack of pigmentation in skin and hair, as well as in retinal and iris tissue; in incomplete , skin and hair may vary from pale to normal; in ocular , function may vary from norma to impaired. Impairments may involve the retina and iris. If a person has then they usually have somewhere between 20/70 and 2 .....

.... the Helium atom today. An atom is made of little things called protons, nuetrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Electrons travel around the center of the atom, which is called the nucleus. Kind of like how Earth revolves around the sun. Protons and nuetrons make up the center of the atom. The atom has an atomic number. Scientists find that number by counting how many protons are in the nucleus. In this case Helium has two protons. Scientists find the average atomic mass by adding up protons and neutrons many times. Then they divide the total by how many ti .....

.... would drive by the military without giving it much thought. However, this day, in Roswell, New Mexico would change the course of history, and how the public thinks of themselves, God and the outer limits of space! Roswell New Mexico was in the middle of the desert. Here was a vast open land where one could see miles around. On this afternoon something very strange was about to happen. In the clear skies of Roswell a very large craft ended its flight. Was this a weather balloon or an Unidentified Flying Object? There were many eye-witness reports of alien creatures lying next to their destroyed crafts. One or two may have .....
