The nuclear topography of splicing snRNPs, mRNA transcripts and chromosome domains in various mammalian cell types are described. The visualization of splicing snRNPs, defined by the Sm antigen, and coiled bodies, revealed distinctly different distribution patterns in these cell types. Heat shock experiments confirmed that the distribution patterns also depend on physiological parameters. Using a combination of fluorescencein situ hybridization and immunodetection protocols, individual chromosome domains were visualized simultaneously with the Sm antigen or the transcript of an integrated human papilloma virus genome. Three-dimensional analysis of fluorescence-stained target regions was performed by confocal laser scanning microscopy. RNA transcripts and components of the splicing machinery were found to be generally excluded from the interior of the territories occupied by the individual chromosomes. Based on these findings we present a model for the functional compartmentalization of the cell nucleus. According to this model the space between chromosome domains, including the surface areas of these domains, defines a three-dimensional network-like compartment, termed the interchromosome domain (ICD) compartment, in which transcription and splicing of mRNA occurs.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (KTLA) -- An investigation is under way after an international jeweler was beaten and robbed of $2 million worth of diamonds in North Hollywood.
The jewelry salesman, said to be visiting from Israel, was at a friend's house in the 12900 block of Hatteras Street Thursday night and was apparently carrying $2 million worth of uninsured diamonds in a bag.
As the jeweler drove away around 10 p.m., he was rear-ended and then boxed-in by two other vehicles on the corner of Bellaire Avenue and Burbank Boulevard, according to North Hollywood Police Department detectives.
Five-to-six masked suspects then smashed the man's passenger window, grabbed the bag of diamonds and drove off.
The victim, who suffered minor injuries, gave chase but ended up losing track of the suspects. One of the vehicles was later found crashed and abandoned. The diamonds and the suspects were gone.
Police say the jeweler did not have a body guard or insurance, making the incident appear suspicious.
The suspects were described only as men wearing dark clothing and masks. Investigators planned to examine the suspects' vehicle for fingerprints and other evidence.
It's believed they knew what the victim was carrying and where he would be at the time of the attack.

If your child learns that a friend or classmate was adopted, she'll probably have a lot of questions. She'll want to know what adoption means and how it comes about, or he might even be anxious about the permanence of his own family.
If you're unsure of how to begin the discussion, just start talking. Adoption is not shameful, nor is it secret. Adoptive families talk openly about adoption from the time their children are very young. Take the lead by making it clear that adoption is a wonderful and normal way to build your family, and your children will follow your cues.
Explaining adoption to young children
Tell your child that families can be formed in many ways. Children can live with the family that they were born into, like your family, or with a family that adopts them, like her friend's family. Let your child know that, sometimes, a mother isn't able to raise a child she gave birth to, so she looks for another family to take care of him. That family adopts the child and becomes his family forever.
Even if you know the specific circumstances of your child's friend, steer the conversation to a more general discussion of adoption. Although adoption isn't a secret, each child's story is personal. Some children are comfortable talking to friends and classmates about their adoption situation. Others prefer not to discuss it outside their own family.

This was one of the fun stunts at the Babes-in-Tieland event this weekend put on by C K of the Minnesota Bondage group. The evening started with a gallery of various bondage forms, from military bondage in full dress blues to a delicate Korean woman in her first kikkou-style karada to a hot Damsel-in-Distress in arm binders and fedora.
My own model, Symetrie, spent nearly 45 minutes inverted, a testament to the power of yoga to preserve one's kinky stamina. She then came out of that (and several variations) raring for more, including the idea to try this. QT_141592 and A_Petite_Blonde are the other two "babes" in this Babe-O-Mat, and they had a lot of fun. More pics are hopeful, but the best view is one that only my eyes saw.
I lay underneath them, watching their happy faces and boobies rotate above me. The dancer in me took over, and I asked them to grasp each others hands and push out. This resulted in a lovely bell-shaped arch ("I want that on my Xmas tree" one bystander muttered) for about five seconds - then they all came crashing back to the center. To bump heads, you might think...but no! The female form is graced with bumpers to prevent such accidents from happening, and they ended up just kind of...well...boinging against each other for a bit.
Many thanks to the group for inviting me up and letting me play in their sandbox. Looking forward to the next trip...

I miss Columbo. I miss Peter Falk.
So I was watching the third episode of Columbo on Netflix and this is the face he makes when he tricks the bad guy. I think we should nominate it for some sort of "best face ever made by a human" award.
I've never had much of a knack for likeness and caricature, but even given that, Peter Falk is hard to get right. His face is distinctive but in subtle ways. And his eyes are like… big and small at the same time.Anyway I'm happy enough with these attempts I guess.Merry Christmas?
The actual look that every murderer gives when Columbo finally leaves the room.
Initiative comes to thems that wait.

Two girls were flown to the hospital Wednesday after they were struck by a car in Queen Creek near Grapefruit Street and San Tan Boulevard.
The girls, 5 and 6, suffered injuries that were not life-threatening, according to Detective Aaron Douglas, spokesman for the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office.
Douglas said the girls crossed in the path of an eastbound car on San Tan.
He said the driver was not impaired and hasn't been cited, but the incident is still under investigation.
Terry Locke, spokesman for the Chandler Unified School District, said the girls are a kindergartner and first-grader at Patterson Elementary.

Since the WCC began holding its conference tournament at the Orleans Arena in 2009, Gonzaga and St. Mary's have met in the final each year.
They'll meet again this year, but in a semi. The fourth-seeded Gaels advanced to Monday's matchup by disposing of fifth-seeded Pepperdine 80-69 on Saturday night.
Four Gaels scored in double figures: Brad Waldow had 21 points, going 6-for-7 from the floor and 9-for-12 from the line. Stephen Holt and Beau Levesque each had 15 points and Kerry Carter added 10.
The Gaels (22-10) have beaten Pepperdine 16 consecutive times.
They've lost to Gonzaga five straight times, including twice by a combined 50 points this season. The Zags prevailed 73-51 in Spokane on Jan. 2 and 75-47 at McKeon Pavilion on March 1.
Saturday's game was tied 22-22 with a little more than six minutes left in the first half. The Gaels then reeled off a 19-4 spurt. Holt began that stretch with a drive down the lane. He capped it with a three to give the Gaels a 41-26 edge.
It was 41-28 at halftime. Holt led all scorers with 11 points at the break. Waldow had 10 on 4-for-5 shooting.
The highlight of the night took place about seven minutes into the second half. Carter, a guard listed at 6-foot-2, took the ball hard down the right baseline, then rose for an emphatic slam.
Briefly: Pepperdine was forced to call a timeout in the first half because guard Malcolm Brooks had come out of his shoe. ... De La Salle alum Amadi Udenyi led the Waves (15-16) with 13 points.

South African Summers
There was a small river between our village and the neighboring village and summer rains would help fill it up enough for swimming. It was also about the only way to cool off during the horriffic heat of South African summers and the local kids weren't shy to take advantage of it. Here's a late afternoon picture of our brother in our host family following his friend with a large leap into the cool waters, while his sister in the background looks on.
The Pied Pipers
Soon after Woody and I first arrived to our permanent site, one day after school we had a gaggle of children follow us home like the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Each one carrying a brick in their hands. When we stopped and asked why they were carrying bricks, they answered in unison "I don't know." Well, it turned out that our principal arranged to have a shower drain and "septic" tank (really a French drain) installed at our house and he asked literally every child from the school to bring...

Not like I had to twist her arm. So I pour some myself this big glass and sit down, it's evening so I can crash on the floor. Well Betty has this little cat. It's half grown cute, like cats are, and it's jumping around and goes out the window. I'm about to enjoy this drink, my first, and we hear ...

Telling me how it is
My host mom is a very sweet and caring person. However, she doesn't look it in this photo. She was trying to get a point across and I wasn't understanding what she was saying. Shortly after this photo was taken, she playfully hit me on the arm, laughed and walked away.

Short, Dark, Handsome Stranger
My Peace Corps training period took place in Dang – a small village of around 80 in Cameroon's Centre Province. Although only five people lived at my host family's home, there was a crowd of 10-15 gathered around in our living room most evenings to watch the new American guy eat couscous de maïs (thick corn mush with a doughy consistency) and hear him attempt to communicate with his broken French and hilarious accent. As no one in my village, other than the other trainees, spoke more than two...

* Click here for rating key
Moonstone Landing Hotel Review: With low-lying buildings leading uphill away from the coast, this quality Moonstone Beach Drive hotel stylishly alludes to California Arts & Crafts architecture with natural wood and stone elements. It welcomes all types of travelers equally, from active families to retired seniors, and from groups of girlfriends on a weekend getaway to couples with romantic privacy in mind. All of the modern rooms have reproduction California Mission-style furnishings, along with fireplaces, refrigerators, microwaves, coffee makers, TVs with DVD players and high-speed internet access. The oceanfront rooms at the very front also have marble bathrooms with whirlpool tubs. Beware of a strict cleaning policy, however, and also some noise overheard from the neighbors upstairs or downstairs. An expanded continental breakfast can be taken on the public deck or in the privacy of your own room, and afternoon refreshments are also included in the rates.

An article published in the missoulian states that a sign concerning the theater's closure was posted on their door and a message was left on their phone recording number:
A sign outside the South Reserve Street theater announced the closure and directed viewers to Carmike 12, while a pre-recorded phone message for movie times did the same.
"Unfortunately, I need to let you know that the Village 6 has closed," the male voice in the message said. "We certainly do appreciate your patronage over the years, and invite you to please visit us at the Carmike 12, but the Village 6 has closed."

So about that stipend
Sooo... Stipends start this month, on the anniversary of your account activation. Well for me that is today and I see no bonus points in my C-store balance... so let me guess... system isn't ready or someone forgot to hit 'on' yes?
Yeah, so this is weird. I actually got a stipend last month :o
Thanks for raising this concern. I reached out to the team and have found out that the stipend will be going live soon and that more details will be provided tomorrow. But, for reassurance until then, the stipends will be granted retroactively when they do go live, beginning with subscriptions with a billing/anniversary date of the first of the month.
Brandon =/\=
Does it go by original subscription date or the last date one had re-subscribed, after letting their account lapse? I.E. is the "anniversary" the "Next Billing Date:" or the original billing date* from many moons ago?
*If it goes by original billing date, how can I find out when my "anniversary" is then?
I did have a chat with a Customer Service Rep today about the stipends - they have not started the stipend yet...and he did know when it will be started. My guess is when F2P goes live - it will be enabled
is there a way i can find my original subscription date?
What happens if you subscribed on the 29th, 30th, or 31st day of the month? Will you receive a stipend in months that only have 28 (feb 3/4), 29 (feb 1/4), or 30 days (apr, jun, sept, nov)? and if so, on what day in those months?

Members of the National Union of Teachers in Epping Forest to take industrial action next week
Updated 7:29am Wednesday 19th March 2014 in News By Zoie O'Brien, Reporter - Waltham Forest
Teachers are set to take part in strike action next week.
National Union of Teachers (NUT) members in Epping Forest and Harlow will walk out on March 26, with some school closures expected.
The strike is part of the campaign against the introduction of performance related pay, changes to pensions and claims of excessive workloads.
Harlow and Epping Forest NUT Secretary, Murray Sackwild, said, "Teacher workload is currently unsustainable and the thought of doing the job until 68 is driving many away from the job.
"Teacher morale is at dangerously low levels. Children need confident teachers who are fresh and well motivated not tired and demoralised.
"We do apologise for the inconvenience to parents but we hope they will support us in our efforts to ensure high quality education and well motivated teachers for the schools and academies in the Harlow and Epping Forest area."
Secretary of State Michael Gove has criticised the union for obstructing education reforms which will improve teaching and claims the NUT is ideologically motivated.
More than 1000 teachers in the region are set to the strike, but it is not known which schools will close for the day.

Quick read
USB flash drives are used for productivity, general storage, and even espionage — and in a seemingly ridiculous twist, they can now also be used as vibrators thanks to the Duet Lux. The New York Times looks at this new device: a memory drive that doubles as a vibrator using a silicone tip. The invention was originally intended purely for use as a vibrator that could be recharged via USB, but the compact design led focus group testers to ask if it could also be used for storage. As unusual as it sounds, the booming vibrator market is nothing to scoff at; the NYT says several companies have been working on making the vibrator a "lifestyle product" through design and innovation.

2015: North VS South (1): INEC gives North fresh advantage
In what many are describing as a gambit with the potential for dangerous and unimaginable consequences, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, led by Professor Attahiru Jega, may have set itself up for opprobrium from a section of the Nigerian nation. Its recently announced 30,000 new Polling Units, PUs, has been distributed across the country. Yet, in a curious twist of logic, the cleaning of the Voter Register, VR, which has seen many states in the northern part of Nigeria lose 'GHOST VOTERS' in their millions, have been allocated a whopping 21,615 (twenty one thousand, six hundred and fifteen) PUs, as against a meagrely 8,412 (eight thousand, four hundred and twelve).Read More →

Suffice to say that the agenda we have placed in the public domain to showcase our party's determination to change the face of the country includes job creation; war against corruption; free, relevant quality education; restoration of agriculture; housing, improved healthcare; social welfare plan for the less privileged; greater attention to roads, power and infrastructure; better management of natural resources and strengthening peace, security and foreign policy.Read More →

Nigeria On Auto Pilot, Let's Rally To Save her! By Bisi Akande
Nigeria is at war! And Nigerians are asking: How did we get to this sorry pass? Could we have averted the situation in which we have now found ourselves, a situation in which Africa's most populous nation, and one said to have the largest economy on the continent, is now lying prostate, begging the world for help? How did a country that has been at the vanguard of maintaining peace in other countries since 1960 now become something of a panhandler? How can we restore peace to our country and provide safety and security for our people?Read More →
Tribute: Pini Jason: One year after
Contrary to their protestations, most politicians first think of themselves, and themselves last! Politics, for many politicians of whatever hue, is about how much money they share at the end of the day. They hardly think that their acts lay the foundation or dig the grave for Nigeria. The attitude is that it does not matter now; get what you can, Nigeria will sort itself out.Read More →
Tribute: Pini Jason: One year after

The book, now ready, will soon be out.
The lingering memories of Pini Jason
Pini, my very good friend, those of us you left behind in this wonderful, sinful and godless world are still grieving your demise 365 days after. It is unbelievable that a whole year has rolled by since death enveloped you. We will not see you or read your column on the pages of newspapers or hear your voice calling me "Enerable" again. All I am left of you is your book, "A Familiar Road", and memories of your screaming philosophical words reminding me of what we should not have ordinarily known. Like a properly tuned acoustic percussion or guitar, your inspirational words and kind deeds echo in my mind.Read More →

The Olubadan at 100 on the intriguing throne
As the events marking the centenary birthday of the Olubadan of Ibadan, Oba Samuel Odulana Odugade I, was rounded off, yesterday, a new record was set in the history of Ibadan. Since the ancient city started the monarchical system in 1820 with Baale Maye Okunade as the first king, Odulana is the first king to attain the age of 100 years on the throne. Others who reigned before him were actually old due to the well-arranged traditional structure that is adjudged the best in the South-west.Read More →

US slams Nigeria: Corruption extremely high – Dep. Asst. Secretary of State
If you ask me, I would say that corruption is extremely high in this country; there is no other polite way to say this.

Nigerians are resourceful and they are living in abundance of wealth and to acknowledge the fact that there is corruption in Nigeria is disheartening.Read More →

This indeed is a season of open letters, the session of which you heralded with a contemptuous one to His Excellency, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Dr. lyabo Obasanjo, feeling uncomfortable with your antics quickly fired a response to your now infamous letter that has gone viral and continue to generate negative national discourse.Read More →
Read Jonathan's letter to Obasanjo
But I feel obliged to reply your letter for a number of reasons: one, you formally requested for a reply and not sending you one will be interpreted as ignoring a former President.
Secondly, Nigerians know the role you have played in my political life and given the unfortunate tone of your letter, clearly, the grapes have gone sour. Therefore, my side of the story also needs to be told.Read More →
Read Ex-Senate President, Ameh Ebute's letter to OBJ
As discerning Nigerians who found the so-called "before it is too late" letter from Chief Olusegun Obasanjoto President Goodluck E. Jonathan, GCFR, ill-conceived, we decided to deconstruct the content to see if it meets the minimum demands of altruistic advice, given the writer's pedigree as a former President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, an elder statesman. In doing this we were not unaware of the several public commentaries and reactions from a cross section of Nigerians, some of which posit that Nigerians should ignore the messenger and take the lessons from the message giving the critical weight of the issues raised. Much as this position may appear germane, it needs to be understood that whereas it is possible to separate the messenger from the message, it is nevertheless impossible to comprehend the meaning of a message without reference to the motive or intention of the messenger.Read More →
Iyabo's letter to OBJ
It brings me no joy to have to write this but since you started this trend of open letters I thought I would follow suit since you don't listen to anyone anyway. The only way to reach you may be to make the public aware of some things. As a child well brought up by my long-suffering mother in Yoruba tradition, I have been reluctant to tell the truth about you but as it seems you still continue to delude yourself about the kind of person you are and I think for posterity's sake it is time to set the records straight.Read More →
OBJ's letter to Jonathan
I am constrained to make this an open letter to you for a number of reasons. One, the current situation and consequent possible outcome dictate that I should, before the door closes on reason and promotion of national interest, alert you to the danger that may be lurking in the corner. Two, none of the four or more letters that I have written to you in the past two years or so has elicited an acknowledgment or any response. Three, people close to you, if not yourself, have been asking, what does Obasanjo want? Four, I could sense a semblance between the situation that we are gradually getting into and the situation we fell into as a nation during the Abacha era. Five, everything must be done to guard, protect and defend our fledgling democracy, nourish it and prevent bloodshed. Six, we must move away from advertently or inadvertently dividing the country along weak seams of North-South and Christian-Moslem. Seven, nothing should be done to allow the country to degenerate into economic dormancy, stagnation or retrogression.Read More →

The reality is that American Apparel sticking pubic hair on its mannequins probably won't increase lingerie sales, but will it give them publicity? Get people talking? Of course it will, it already has, as this post proves. People want to talk about this, out of shock, out of amusement, whatever the reason, emotion is evoked.
Ryanair, that of the cheap flights, zero legroom and zero tolerance of fat people, is the world's most hated airline. Popularly seen as the villain of the skies, Ryanair has been pissing people off for the last twenty plus years: with all its hidden levies, taxes and charges, Europe's ''only ultra-low cost carrier'' isn't actually selling low cost flights.
Have you ever read something you think is so outrageously wrong you have to correct it? Well, that feeling overwhelmed me when I read fellow Huffington Post UK blogger Jack Fletcher's post entitled Feminism Is For Men Too. I'm now going to spend the next few hundred words explaining and defending why not agreeing with feminism is not the same as being a misogynist.
Feminists must remember what liberation means - it is not just equal opportunity to be financially independent or to hold positions of authority. Liberation is about much more - it's the freedom to be yourself regardless of ethnicity, sexual orientation, class or gender. As soon as we assign stereotypes to any identity we create expectations of how individuals should behave...
Whenever I am coerced into a discussion about gender equality, the same points always seem to be regurgitated: "Why do you hate men? Women already have equality. Are you gay or something?" Well, yes actually, but that's beside the point. Although while we're on the subject, why is it so shocking to come out as a feminist anyway?
I cannot pinpoint the moment I identified myself as a feminist or the exact moments that encouraged me to become one. Perhaps it was when I was a teenager and my boyfriend's fath er at the time was shocked at the fact I was a female who was unable to cook, or whether it was when a man masturbated in my direction on public transport
