Watch: Thom Yorke DJs With Four Tet, Spins Caribou Remix of Radiohead's "Little by Little"
By Larry Fitzmaurice on June 12, 2011 at 10:00 p.m. EDT
London's Plastic People club hosted three nights of Four Tet spinning this weekend. On Friday night, Kieran Hebden brought a very special guest DJ: Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
Sure enough, video has surfaced of Yorke's set; Stereogum has clips of him playing Caribou's remix of The King of Limbs' "Little by Little" (which will be featured in the first installment of a 12" remix series Radiohead are releasing this summer) and Pangaea's "Why". Check out both below. The video and audio quality is much better during the Pangaea track; watch Thom boogie as Four Tet bobs his head in the background. However, the audio during the Caribou remix is enough to get a feel for what it sounds like.

UPDATE: Stones Throw has just posted their latest podcast, which features a new mix by Flying Lotus called Lovers Melt. Download it here.
Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke and free-spirited Los Angeles bass music star Flying Lotus have something of a mutual appreciation society going. Yorke appeared on a track on FlyLo's Cosmogramma album, and he has showed up twice to DJ alongside FlyLo at L.A.'s Low End Theory club night. Flying Lotus remixed Radiohead's "Reckoner". And now the Radiohead fan site Radiohead at Ease points out that Flying Lotus said in an interview with the Colorado Springs Independent that he's toying around with a remix of "the new Radiohead record."
Watch: Thom Yorke DJs, Sings at L.A. Club
By Ryan Dombal on May 5, 2011 at 10:55 a.m. EDT
UPDATE: Alpha Pup has posted higher quality video of Thom's DJ set to their YouTube channel; watch it below.
Back in March, Thom Yorke showed up at Los Angeles club Airliner to DJ as part of their Low End Theory beat-scene night alongside Flying Lotus. And he made another surprise appearance last night, according to a report on The L.A. Times' Pop & Hiss blog. Thom danced and traded-off playing records with FlyLo, including tracks by Radiohead and Tyler, the Creator. Yorke even got on the mic for some crooning and scatting. Watch a not-great-quality vid of Thom singing and dancing from last night right here, via Zascha.
Thom Yorke Collaborating With Doom
By Larry Fitzmaurice on March 17, 2011 at 12:15 p.m. EDT
Back in 2009, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke contributed a remix of DOOM's "Gazzillion Ear", from the reclusive underground rapper's comeback LP Born Like This, to an odds-and-ends EP of the same name. Now, it looks like there could be another collaboration between the two artists in the works.
Watch Video of Thom Yorke's Surprise L.A. DJ Set
By Larry Fitzmaurice on March 16, 2011 at 2:45 p.m. EDT
Hey, so, remember that surprise DJ set that Thom Yorke did at Los Angeles club the Airliner during the club's beat scene-focused Low End Theory night last week? Well, the website of Flying Lotus-run label Brainfeeder points to some well-shot video excerpts of Yorke's set, featuring the Radiohead frontman spinning cuts from Burial and Madvillain, among others. Makes sense that the clip popped up on Brainfeeder, since FlyLo himself was present for this particular DJ set. You can check out the clip below.

Bleeding Edge TV 279: The Wait for iPhone 3G
Posted by Nate True Categories: Full Episodes, Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Peripherals, Portable Audio / Video, Videocasts, Videos
We were quite nearly first in line at the Alderwood Mall Apple Store in Lynnwood, WA for the launch of iPhone 3G. Sure the purchasing experience was a fiasco, but overall the night was great fun. We had an exclusive Tap Tap Revenge tournament, along with a giveaway of the excellent Monster LRG iPhone cases, and even an impromptu listening demo of the Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, which we recently unboxed.
We must admit, towards the end we were kind of jaded over the whole thing, since between everyone in our group we had a 15 iPhone mixture of original iPhones and iPhone 3G units, all of which didn't work due to the activation issues - but to be fair, the employees at the Alderwood Mall Apple Store location were all top-notch. Check out the full adventure in the video.
Unboxing Live 038: Apple iPhone 3G, White and Black, unboxed in Apple Store
Posted by Nate True Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Internet, Peripherals, Videocasts
After a long and arduous wait and a somewhat aggravating purchase experience, we had to insist that the folks at the Apple store allow us to film this episode of Unboxing Live. Obviously, we are unboxing the 16GB iPhone 3G, in both black and white flavors. Included with the iPhone are iPhone earbuds, a Dock cable, and a new tiny USB power brick. It also comes with a SIM removal tool, a cleaning cloth, and the ever-present Apple stickers. Conspicuously missing from the package is the iPhone 3G stand-up dock, which is sold separately for $20.
Our iPhone 3G purchase review: Campout trip from hell
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Editorial, Features
UPDATE: Watch the full video of our iPhone 3G line experience.
We had no idea that our quest to grab a few iPhone 3G units at launch here in the Seattle area would turn out to be an utter fiasco. Last year, when the original iPhone launched, we had a much longer wait in line (over 19 hours versus just over 8 hours) last year, and were further back in the line to boot. However, it was a complete failure on both Apple and AT&T's part in making sure that the experience went as smoothly as possible.
Oh, sure, we finally have our iPhone 3Gs working and in good shape, but it took much, much longer to get them in that condition than it should have. Read on as we relive the events that took place earlier this afternoon at the Alderwood Mall Apple Store. Oh, and credit for that photo of Sparky walking out after being first in line goes to Jim Valley.

Poll: How did your iPhone 3G launch day purchase go?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Features, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video
We already told you about our crazy iPhone 3G launch day purchase fiasco, but now we wanna hear from you guys. Was what we experienced accurate? Did you just end up flying through purchase and activation, with no problems at all? Or was your experience more like ours, where things seemed to go wrong at every turn? Let us know!
In Seattle? We will be giving away iPhone gear at Alderwood Mall Apple Store tonight!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Announcements, Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Portable Audio / Video
Hey Seattle iPhone 3G line-waiters - Gear Live is gonna be in full effect at the Alderwood Mall Apple Store starting tonight at midnight. We are gonna be in line to make sure we get our hands on a white iPhone 3G, and we figured that instead of sitting around like a bunch of geeks who sit in line waiting for a cell phone launch (which we totally aren't), we would have some fun. We will have a bunch of iPhone accessories available that we will be giving away, and we will have an early preview of Tap Tap Revenge to show off. We will do some one-on-one games in Tap Tap, and winners will get some cool gear.
We will also have our cameras with us as well so we can get all your opinions and thoughts on all things Apple for Bleeding Edge TV. So if you are in the area and plan on waiting in line for iPhone 3G to launch in the morning, hit up the Alderwood Mall location with us. We promise that our awesomeness won't kill you.
EDIT: I am andruedwards on Twitter. I know a bunch of you are on that.
Apple TV 2.1 update now available, supports MobileMe and Remote App
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, HDTV, Home Entertainment, Software
If you have an Apple TV, you are gonna wanna go ahead and update it. Just head into the General Settings menu, and go to Software Update. Apple TV will find the latest version, and offer to download it. This update provides a couple of new functionalities for the device, namely MobileMe support, as well as support for the new Remote app. This is the newly released iPhone and iPod touch application that allows you to take control of iTunes or Apple TV right from your handheld device itself. We were playing with it a bit earlier today, and we think it's fantastic.
Grab iPhone 2.0 firmware update right now!
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software
Remember how last night we hooked you up with the download link for the MobileMe OS X updater, before Apple formally released it? Well, now we are gonna hook you up with the location to download the iPhone 2.0 firmware update too. Just make sure you have already upgraded to iTunes 7.7.
Just click here to download the file "iPhone1,2_2.0_5A347_Restore.ipsw", and make sur eyou put it in a location where you can find it easily. Next, fire up iTunes and hook up your iPhone. On the iPhone screen, click on Check for Update while holding the option key. This will bring up a window that allows you to locate the file you downloaded. Choose it, and off you go.
Just so you know in advance, this update is pretty much like doing a restore. All the data on your iPhone will be erased, so just be sure to do one final sync before you go through the process. Once it is done, you can then simply recover your sync settings, and you will be up and running, App Store and all.
iTunes 7.7 now available
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Music, Software
Run and grab the download, iTunes 7.7 is now available, and it is geared towards iPhone 3G!
Use iTunes 7.7 to sync music, video, and more with iPhone 3G, and download applications from the iTunes Store exclusively designed for iPhone and iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later. Also use the new Remote application for iPhone or iPod touch to control iTunes playback from anywhere in your home — a free download from the App Store.
The App Store isn't open yet, but give it a few hours.
A look at Friend Book for iPhone from Tapulous
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Cell Phones, Handhelds, Software, Videos
See, it's things like this that get me super excited for the App Store. The app is called Friend Book, and it takes the iPhone contact list and adds a bunch of fantastic features. You get thumbnail images for contacts that you have pictures of, an alternate view that allows you to tap on a face to dial. However, what I love is the Handshake feature. Using the built-in GPS, it determines if two iPhones are in the same place running the apps trade function. If they are, and both phones shake, information is traded. How cool is that? This is going to be one of the first apps that I download as soon as I am running iPhone 2.0 software.
Get the Mac OS X Update for MobileMe right now
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, PC / Laptop, Software
Even though today's MobileMe update hasn't shown up in Software Update yet, you can actually download the update that changes the icon and text in OS X around right now. Just download it here.
The Mac OS X Update For MobileMe is recommended for users running Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.4 and includes general system fixes that enhance your Mac for MobileMe.
Simple enough, right? Of course, you can't use any of that new MobileMe functionality until the service itself goes live, sometime before midnight tonight.

7 Steps to Avoid Foreclosure
There are a number of steps you can take to avoid foreclosure if your loan is about to adjust, you lose your job, or otherwise anticipate that you might miss mortgage payments.
By: Tara-Nicholle Nelson
If you have missed fewer than three mortgage payments or are anticipating that you might have to miss them in a month or so because of life circumstances, put your smarts in action and implement this simple plan to avoid foreclosure. Don't confuse simple with easy; avoiding foreclosure can take time, patience, money and effort, but if you save your home, it could be worth it!
Step 1: Cultivate Clarity
Before you make the massive commitment of time, money and energy it might take to avoid foreclosure, make sure that saving your home is going to be worth it. If, for instance, you have extra mortgages and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) on your home, it may not make sense for you to restructure that debt so that you still have a $500,000 mortgage on a home that is worth $300,000.
Step 2: Conquer the Fear
For many people, the prospect of being unable to make their mortgage payment paralyzes them with fear and anxiety. They stop opening the mail, start avoiding phone calls and procrastinate on paying the bills. The fastest way to feel relief if you are falling behind on your mortgage is to do something about it. Whether you gather your bill statements, apply for a new job or call your lender to explain your situation, moving into action will prevent you from waking up to find a Notice of Trustee Sale posted on your front door. By the time that happens, there is not much you can do to save your home.
Step 3: Increase Your Cash Flow
This may seem like a no-brainer, but it is sound advice. Consider doing some freelance work, getting a second job or taking in a roommate. Evaluate what you don't use and don't need; you wouldn't believe the numbers of people who have spare automobiles, computers and other valuables they can sell. Slash unnecessary expenses; cable TV, massages and dining out must go. Cutting expenses will show your lender you are willing to make sacrifices, boosting the chances they will work out a compromise with you.
Step 4: Call Your Lender to Try to Work It Out
If you make a thorough, persuasive and specific request for a temporary or permanent loan modification, your lender might agree to help you.
Step 5: Try to Refinance
If your mortgage balance is near or less than what your home is worth on today's market, you might be able to refinance your home, get a lower interest rate, lower your monthly payment, skip a payment or two, or even receive some cash at the time you close the refinance transaction. Work with a reputable mortgage broker and try contacting a mortgage representative at your current lender; some lenders will do more to get you into a new loan with them than they will to modify your current loan.
Some nonprofit, alternative and governmental lenders now offer to refinance mortgages of homeowners in distress. For example, the Neighborhood Assistance Corporation of America offers a Home Save refinance mortgage with interest rates far below market averages. The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) has also set aside billions for the purpose of refinancing the loans of borrowers who have fallen behind on their mortgages.
Step 6: Put Your Home on the Market Immediately
If it looks like you will not be able to work out a solution with your lender or refinance your home, you should put it up for sale -- immediately. Find a real estate agent who has successfully represented other homeowners you know and who has a track record of getting homes sold quickly. The faster you get your home sold, the less damage will be done to your credit and your psyche!
Step 7: Bonus Step for Seniors
If you are over 62, you might have additional options. Consider reverse mortgages and advances on your future appreciation, which unlock the equity in your home. These programs all have serious implications, so consult your children, your financial adviser, your CPA and your estate planner before you agree to anything.

This is made of a sturdy canvas, it's large enough to cover the seat and the headrest cover/elastic seems to work well. It's not the most stylish looking thing, but it covers the seat. I tried the towel-like covers; they worked well but wore out far too quickly. The only issue I'm concerned with is that the backing on this may not be really good for the leather. So, I'm leaving my towel cover in place and have this over the top of that. Works just fine.

The nicest hotel I've ever stayed in - everything was perfect and I would quite happily have stayed in the hotel every day without leaving.
I particularly enjoyed having a hamman, and the fact that the pool was big enough to swim lengths.
I don't have any points of criticism, and little to add to what other reviewers have said. Just wonderful - thank you to everyone there.

1. Field of the Invention
The invention relates to connectors for coaxial cable. More particularly the invention relates to a right angle coaxial connector with improved electrical performance and a cost effective method of precision manufacture.
2. Description of Related Art
Angled coaxial cable connectors, for example right angle connectors, are useful for connecting to an RF device when a cable to device connection with the cable extending normal to the device is undesirable, such as a cable connection to a rack mounted device and or a device located close to an interfering surface such as a wall.
The right angle transition of the inner conductor necessary to form a right angle coaxial connector introduces several problems. First, the right angle transition makes it difficult to insert the inner conductor within the surrounding body, unless the body is formed in multiple pieces, has access covers and or, for example, a soldered connection is made at the transition point once the inner conductor is inserted from one end, which greatly complicates assembly.
Second, the transition introduces an impedance discontinuity into the coaxial transmission line to which the connector is attached. Both smooth larger radius bends and block type sharp corner bends introduce a measurable impedance discontinuity.
Third, depending upon the diameter of the mating coaxial cable and or specific connection interface the connector is designed for, the inner conductor element may be small in size and relatively fragile, significantly complicating cost effective manufacture with high levels of precision.
Competition within the coaxial cable and connector industry has focused attention upon improving electrical performance as well as reducing manufacturing, materials and installation costs.
Therefore, it is an object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus that overcomes deficiencies in such prior art.
The accompanying drawings, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the invention and, together with a general description of the invention given above, and the detailed description of the embodiments given below, serve to explain the principles of the invention.
As shown for example in
The connector 1 has a unitary generally cylindrical inner conductor 11 mounted coaxial within a bore 13 extending between the primary side 3 and the secondary side 7 of an outer body 15. The inner conductor 11 has a first end 17 on a longitudinal axis having a transition 19 to a second end 21 on a secondary axis normal to the primary longitudinal axis. Unitary as used herein defines the inner conductor 11 as formed as a single integral element, not an assembly joined together via mechanical fasteners, soldered or via adhesive from separately fabricated elements. Generally cylindrical as used herein means that, except for the areas of the transition 19, the first end 17 and the second end 21 (depending upon the interfaces selected), the inner conductor 11 has a circular cross section taken along the primary longitudinal axis and the secondary axis, respectively.
To improve radio frequency electrical performance related to both impedance discontinuity and intermodulation distortion, an outer side 23 of the transition 19 is formed with a planar back angle surface 25, best shown for example in
Viewed from either the first end 17 along the primary longitudinal axis or the second end 21 along the secondary axis, the planar back angle surface 25 extends across the width of the inner conductor 11 presenting an angled "reflective surface" to the direction of signal flow between the longitudinal axis and the secondary axis complementary to the desired angle of the connector, having increasing effects on the inner conductor 11 with respect to reduction of impedance discontinuity and generation of intermodulation distortion as the operating frequency increases.
The first and second ends 17, 21 of the inner conductor 11 are configured for the desired primary and secondary interfaces 5, 9. In the first exemplary embodiment, the first end 17 is demonstrated as a pin 31 for the 7/16 DIN connector interface. The second end 21 has a coupling surface 33 in the form of threads 35. Although shortened to enable easy insertion within the bore 13 of the outer body 15, the portion of the inner conductor 11 extending towards the second end 21 positions the coupling surface 33 spaced away from the transition 19, improving the strength of the inner conductor 11 and compared to locating the coupling surface 33 or other joint at the transition 19, reducing the opportunity for creating additional electrical discontinuity.
The threads 35 of the coupling surface 33 enable easy attachment of a range of different inner conductor interface(s) 37, here demonstrated as a spring basket 39 for securely contacting a solid center conductor 41 of an annular corrugated solid outer conductor coaxial cable 43.
As best shown in
At the secondary side 7, the secondary interface 9 is demonstrated as a spring finger nut 59 against outer conductor clamp surface 61 coaxial cable interface 63 attached to the outer body 15 via a secondary interface mount 64 here demonstrated as an integral threaded shoulder 65. An insulator 51 supporting the inner conductor interface 37 seats against a body shoulder 67, retained by an inward projecting lip of the secondary interface 9. Sealing gasket(s) 57 may be applied at the connections between the outer body 15 and the body shoulder 65, between the spring finger nut 59 and the coaxial cable interface 63 and between the outer conductor 67 and the spring finger nut 59 to environmentally seal the connection.
Alternatives for the coupling surface 33 and further variations of the second interface 9 for specific coaxial cables are demonstrated in
An angled connector 1 according to the invention may be manufactured using a combination of different techniques each selected to minimize overall costs while generating the different components with a desired level of precision. For example, the elements that are generally concentric, including the relatively small inner conductor interface spring basket 37, may be manufactured via machining or molding depending upon the materials desired. The outer body 15 is relatively simple to mold or machine, having minimal features.
The specific geometry of the inner conductor 11 may be cost effectively formed with high precision via Metal Injection Molding (MIM) or Thixoforming, to reduce the quality control, cost and time requirements associated with high tolerance mechanical machining of a small non-concentric electrical component.
MIM, also known as powder injection molding, is a net-shape process for producing solid metal parts that combines the design freedom of plastic injection molding with material properties near that of wrought metals. With its inherent design flexibility, MIM is capable of producing an almost limitless array of highly complex geometries in many different metals and metal alloys. Design and economic limitations of traditional metalworking technologies, such as machining and casting, can be overcome by MIM.
In a typical MIM process, finely granulated metal material is uniformly mixed with a wax or polymer binder and injection molded. A "green" molded part is then extracted from the mold. A de-binding step extracts the majority of binder from the green part via application of low temperature and or a solvent. The de-bound green part is then sintered at high temperature wherein the de-bound part is proportionally shrunk to the final target size, concentrating the metal density and strength characteristics to close to that of a casting made from the same material by conventional means.
The inventor has recognized that MIM manufacturing technologies may be applied to form the precision shapes of inner conductors described herein using a range of metals and or metal alloys. Because of the minimal waste inherent in the MIM manufacturing process, although the superior electro-mechanical properties of a metal is realized, the material cost is minimized because extremely low waste occurs relative to metal machining.
Thixoforming is another highly advantageous method of forming the inner conductor via thixotropic magnesium alloy metal injection molding technology. By this method, a magnesium alloy is heated until it reaches a thixotropic state and is then injection molded, similar to plastic injection molding techniques. Thereby, an inner conductor according to the invention may be cost effectively fabricated to high levels of manufacturing tolerance and in high volumes. The, for example, magnesium alloys used in thixotropic metal molding have suitable rigidity characteristics and also have the benefit of being light in weight.
The invention provides a cost effective right angle coaxial connector 1 with improved electrical performance despite having a minimum number of separate components. Also, materials cost and the complexity of required assembly operations are reduced. Installation of the connector onto the cable may be reliably achieved with time requirements and assembly operations similar those of a conventional straight body coaxial connector.
Where in the foregoing description reference has been made to ratios, integers or components having known equivalents then such equivalents are herein incorporated as if individually set forth.
While the present invention has been illustrated by the description of the embodiments thereof, and while the embodiments have been described in considerable detail, it is not the intention of the applicant to restrict or in any way limit the scope of the appended claims to such detail. Additional advantages and modifications will readily appear to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the invention in its broader aspects is not limited to the specific details, representative apparatus, methods, and illustrative examples shown and described. Accordingly, departures may be made from such details without departure from the spirit or scope of applicant's general inventive concept. Further, it is to be appreciated that improvements and/or modifications may be made thereto without departing from the scope or spirit of the present invention as defined by the following claims.

The critics can't get enough of McAvoy's filthy antics.
It was an ambitious project, but one that seems to have paid off. Transferring Irvine Welsh's brilliantly disgusting character, Bruce Robertson from page to screen in Filth sees James McAvoy excel, further swelling his already brilliant reputation.
The critics have been waxing lyrical about Filth
The story follows Robertson – who is in fact an officer of the law, he's PC Robertson – as he goes about his debouched ways. When a promotion rears its head and our benter-then-bent cop is enlisted to solve a brutal murder, he'll stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if the aspirations of his colleagues threaten to block his path.
The critics have so far Eulogised McAvoy's performance. The 34-year-old Glaswegian is probably best known for his roles in The Last King of Scotland and Atonement, but he just have forged an altogether darker picture of his acting talents in Filth.
James McAvoy's performance has been singled out for praise
"A bulked-up James McAvoy dominates the screen in this razor-sharp Glasgow smile of a black comedy, packed with aberrant sex, hard drugs and maximum David Soul," wrote prestigious film magazine Empire.
The film is "Dark, depraved and deeply funny, it sees director Jon S. Baird capturing Welsh's spirit, from its relentless pace to its soaring soundtrack," say Total Film, while The Daily Telegraph's Robbie Collin said "I loved every minute of Filth, and couldn't have stomached another second of it"
Check out the Filth trailer, over 18s only please
And it's even been a hit with American critics, with The Hollywood Reporter writing, "Detective Bruce Robertson is a diabolically unpleasant anti-hero, but somehow McAvoy and writer-director Jon S. Baird makes us feel sympathy for the devil."
All this to say the uncompromising British crime flick has amassed an impressive score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes from a total of thirteen reviews. It probably won't stay at that lofty accumulation, but it's certainly clear that Welsh's latest adaption is a raging success.
McAvoy gets up to some pretty despicable things in Filth
You don't want to run into this gang on a cold, dark night
Especially after PC Bruce has taken this much...

For one glorious minute, we were certain Nebraska had authored a sequel to the infamous Butt Punt with this special-teams breakdown against Iowa on Friday:
After all, it sure looks like punter Sam Foltz ricocheted the ball off the backside of one of his linemen, leading to Iowa lineman Drew Ott's scoop 'n' score. ESPN color commentator Matt Millen certainly thought so -- "That's a big ol' keister to kick it into, too, let me tell you," Millen remarked on the replay.
But upon further inspection, analysis and dozens of replays, we're not actually sure Foltz's kick was a true butt punt. The ball is a blur, but given the angle, it may have struck the back of a helmet before traveling backward. It's certainly not as pure as the original, accomplished by Youngstown State during the first week of the season.
Either way, the play was as entertaining as it was crucial. It gave the Hawkeyes a three-score lead in the second half and overshadowed Foltz's other big play, a crushing hit to force a fumble following a punt in the first quarter.

Aliases for THOC3 Gene
Aliases for THOC3 Gene
External Ids for THOC3 Gene
- Entrez Gene: 84321
- Ensembl: ENSG00000051596
- UniProtKB: Q96J01
Summaries for THOC3 Gene
This gene encodes a component of the nuclear THO transcription elongation complex, which is part of the larger transcription export (TREX) complex that couples messenger RNA processing and export. In humans, the transcription export complex is recruited to the 5'-end of messenger RNAs in a splicing- and cap-dependent manner. Studies of a related complex in mouse suggest that the metazoan transcription export complex is involved in cell differentiation and development. A pseudogene of this gene has been defined on chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, May 2013]
GeneCards Summary for THOC3 Gene
THOC3 (THO Complex 3) is a Protein Coding gene. Among its related pathways are RNA transport and Spliceosome. GO annotations related to this gene include RNA binding. An important paralog of this gene is TBL1X.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for THOC3 Gene
Required for efficient export of polyadenylated RNA and spliced mRNA. Acts as component of the THO subcomplex of the TREX complex which is thought to couple mRNA transcription, processing and nuclear export, and which specifically associates with spliced mRNA and not with unspliced pre-mRNA. TREX is recruited to spliced mRNAs by a transcription-independent mechanism, binds to mRNA upstream of the exon-junction complex (EJC) and is recruited in a splicing- and cap-dependent manner to a region near the 5 end of the mRNA where it functions in mRNA export to the cytoplasm via the TAP/NFX1 pathway. The TREX complex is essential for the export of Kaposis sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV) intronless mRNAs and infectious virus production.

Kanye West + M.I.A.'s Outrageous Demands Revealed in Tour Riders
While some stars have relatively simple demands in their riders (see Nicki Minaj and Adele), others are pretty high maintenance. Joining the diva ranks? Kanye West and M.I.A.
While some stars have relatively simple demands in their riders (see Nicki Minaj and Adele), others are pretty high maintenance. Joining the diva ranks? Kanye West and M.I.A.
NBC and the NFL have issued separate, curt apologies over the fact that pop star M.I.A. gave the finger to the camera during her solo rap part, which was part of Madonna's Super Bowl 2012 halftime performance.
M.I.A., who is rather anti-mainstream and rebellious, flipped off the camera and it was caught on tape and on camera. It was the only drama/hiccup/controversy during Madonna's tame, but entertaining set.
"L-U-V, Madonna! Y-O-U, you wanna?!" Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. are chanting cheerleaders throughout most of Madonna's new dance-pop song 'Give Me All Your Luvin'.' So, do we really love Madge's new single?
Madonna's highly anticipated video for 'Give Me All Your Luvin',' her collaboration with Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., is both a twisted look at the high school fantasy and a blatant promotion for her Super Bowl performance. The clip opens with text: "Fans can make you famous, a contract can make you rich, the press can make you a superstar, but only luv can make you a player."
Madonna previewed about a minute of the video for her brand-new single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' during 'American Idol' tonight (Feb. 2.) The whole shebang drops tomorrow (Feb. 3) via her YouTube channel, but this blink-and-you'll-miss it clip set the stage and gave us an idea of what to expect. It involves dancing and football -- there's lots of both.
What's radder than Madonna? Well, Madonna with Barbie Nicki Minaj and tough girl M.I.A. at her side, of course. Madge's new single 'Give Me All Your Luvin'' hasn't hit the web in full yet, but you can get an earful of the song right now!

Big Oil – A Look at The World's Most Powerful Companies
A detailed look at the largest Oil Companies, how they operate and who the major players in the field are. The Oil Companies take a lot of Flak, but are they as bad as you think?
Companies like ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and Royal Dutch Shell now produce only 10% of the world's oil and gas and hold a mere 3% of its reserves.
Big Oil's primary "Movers & Shakers" according to "The Financial Times," are: Aramco of Saudi Arabia, CNPC of China, Gazprom of Russia, NIOC of Iran, PDVSA of Venezuela, , Petrobras of Brazil, as well as Petronas of Malaysia.
So what happened – how did the once powerful titans of the Oil Industry lose their place to the new "seven Sisters."

Solar Energy Showing Promising Signs After Years of Disappointment
After years of over promising and under delivering, the solar Industry is finally starting to show some interesting developments which have the potential to make solar power as cheap as fossil fuel on a cost-per-watt basis within five years.
Getting us to that state, called grid parity, would require solar companies to produce power for around $1 a watt. Is it possible anytime soon?
Many analysts think so and the target date being touted around is 2015. The reason for this fresh optimism is a mixture of technological development and simple economics. Traditional conductive materials make up 40% to 50% of the cost of a finished module. Newer conductive materials (including, amorphous silicon, cadmium telluride and copper indium diselenide) only need to be about one micron thick, so material costs are significantly reduced.
But thin film solar cells are just the beginning. Here are a few more examples of the most cutting-edge and interesting advances in solar energy and the companies behind them.
Solar Energy - from salt. Rice Solar Energy, a spin-off of United Technologies, is planning a solar energy installation in Riverside County, California. Salt - 4.4 million gallons' worth will be stored in a 538-foot tower surrounded by 18,000 mirrors called heliostats. The heliostats will aim light at the tower, subjecting the salt inside to such great temperatures that it melts, which in turn creates steam which then spins the turbine thus creating electricity.
Internet access - from sunlight. Late last year, Meraki, a provider of wireless networking solutions, developed a solar self-powered WiFi device. The Meraki "Solar" uses a solar panel and a solar-charged battery to provide Internet access in hard-to-wire areas. The units can be mounted on roofs or poles or anywhere else that receives sun exposure.
iPhone juice - without an outlet. Anyone who has an iPhone is plagued by the relatively low battery life, but we were recently alerted to a solution in that beacon of invention oddities, the SkyMall catalog. A company called Novothink recently developed the first Apple-approved solar charger for the iPhone. The $70 "Surge" is like an iPhone case, except it has a solar panel on the back. Just snap it on, and you'll have full access to the iPhone, while you charge. It even comes with a cord so you can hang the iPhone from a backpack or your wrist while outside. It will keep you Twittering all day long.
While all of those devices may be interesting, the first question on the minds of many may be just how close we are to generating all of our householder electricity from solar power. The answer: Closer than you think. One Japanese company, The Seven Ryoju Estate Group Companies, recently announced that it has developed a rooftop unit called the "Eco Sky Roof" that can provide 65 percent of a household's energy consumption from solar power. The roof works by creating a path of hot air between solar panels and a roof. That heat can be used to generate household heat and hot water, as well as electricity. The first installations are expected in 2010.
If Solar companies can stay the course and deliver on their promises, maybe a world powered by clean energy has a chance of becoming reality.

Distorted IEA Oil Reserve Figures Create Biofuel Opportunities In "White Gold" Region of Central Asia
The recent revelations of a International Energy Administration whistleblower that the IEA may have distorted key oil projections under intense U.S. pressure is, if true (and whistleblowers rarely come forward to advance their careers), a slow-burning thermonuclear explosion on future global oil production. The Bush administration's actions in pressuring the IEA to underplay the rate of decline from existing oil fields while overplaying the chances of finding new reserves have the potential to throw governments' long-term planning into chaos.
Whatever the reality, rising long term global demands seem certain to outstrip production in the next decade, especially given the high and rising costs of developing new super-fields such as Kazakhstan's offshore Kashagan and Brazil's southern Atlantic Jupiter and Carioca fields, which will require billions in investments before their first barrels of oil are produced.
In such a scenario, additives and substitutes such as biofuels will play an ever-increasing role by stretching beleaguered production quotas. As market forces and rising prices drive this technology to the forefront, one of the richest potential production areas has been totally overlooked by investors up to now – Central Asia. Formerly the USSR's cotton "plantation," the region is poised to become a major player in the production of biofuels if sufficient foreign investment can be procured. Unlike Brazil, where biofuel is manufactured largely from sugarcane, or the United States, where it is primarily distilled from corn, Central Asia's ace resource is an indigenous plant, Camelina sativa.
Of the former Soviet Caucasian and Central Asian republics, those clustered around the shores of the Caspian, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan have seen their economies boom because of record-high energy prices, while Turkmenistan is waiting in the wings as a rising producer of natural gas.
Farther to the east, in Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan, geographical isolation and relatively scant hydrocarbon resources relative to their Western Caspian neighbors have largely inhibited their ability to cash in on rising global energy demands up to now. Mountainous Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan remain largely dependent for their electrical needs on their Soviet-era hydroelectric infrastructure, but their heightened need to generate winter electricity has led to autumnal and winter water discharges, in turn severely impacting the agriculture of their western downstream neighbors Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan.
What these three downstream countries do have however is a Soviet-era legacy of agricultural production, which in Uzbekistan's and Turkmenistan case was largely directed towards cotton production, while Kazakhstan, beginning in the 1950s with Khrushchev's "Virgin Lands" programs, has become a major producer of wheat. Based on my discussions with Central Asian government officials, given the thirsty demands of cotton monoculture, foreign proposals to diversify agrarian production towards biofuel would have great appeal in Astana, Ashgabat and Tashkent and to a lesser extent Astana for those hardy investors willing to bet on the future, especially as a plant indigenous to the region has already proven itself in trials.
Known in the West as false flax, wild flax, linseed dodder, German sesame and Siberian oilseed, camelina is attracting increased scientific interest for its oleaginous qualities, with several European and American companies already investigating how to produce it in commercial quantities for biofuel. In January Japan Airlines undertook a historic test flight using camelina-based bio-jet fuel, becoming the first Asian carrier to experiment with flying on fuel derived from sustainable feedstocks during a one-hour demonstration flight from Tokyo's Haneda Airport. The test was the culmination of a 12-month evaluation of camelina's operational performance capability and potential commercial viability.
As an alternative energy source, camelina has much to recommend it. It has a high oil content low in saturated fat. In contrast to Central Asia's thirsty "king cotton," camelina is drought-resistant and immune to spring freezing, requires less fertilizer and herbicides, and can be used as a rotation crop with wheat, which would make it of particular interest in Kazakhstan, now Central Asia's major wheat exporter. Another bonus of camelina is its tolerance of poorer, less fertile conditions. An acre sown with camelina can produce up to 100 gallons of oil and when planted in rotation with wheat, camelina can increase wheat production by 15 percent. A ton (1000 kg) of camelina will contain 350 kg of oil, of which pressing can extract 250 kg. Nothing in camelina production is wasted as after processing, the plant's debris can be used for livestock silage. Camelina silage has a particularly attractive concentration of omega-3 fatty acids that make it a particularly fine livestock feed candidate that is just now gaining recognition in the U.S. and Canada. Camelina is fast growing, produces its own natural herbicide (allelopathy) and competes well against weeds when an even crop is established. According to Britain's Bangor University's Centre for Alternative Land Use, "Camelina could be an ideal low-input crop suitable for bio-diesel production, due to its lower requirements for nitrogen fertilizer than oilseed rape."
Camelina, a branch of the mustard family, is indigenous to both Europe and Central Asia and hardly a new crop on the scene: archaeological evidence indicates it has been cultivated in Europe for at least three millennia to produce both vegetable oil and animal fodder.
Field trials of production in Montana, currently the center of U.S. camelina research, showed a wide range of results of 330-1,700 lbs of seed per acre, with oil content varying between 29 and 40%. Optimal seeding rates have been determined to be in the 6-8 lb per acre range, as the seeds' small size of 400,000 seeds per lb can create problems in germination to achieve an optimal plant density of around 9 plants per sq. ft.
Camelina's potential could allow Uzbekistan to begin breaking out of its most dolorous legacy, the imposition of a cotton monoculture that has warped the country's attempts at agrarian reform since achieving independence in 1991. Beginning in the late 19th century, the Russian government determined that Central Asia would become its cotton plantation to feed Moscow's growing textile industry. The process was accelerated under the Soviets. While Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan were also ordered by Moscow to sow cotton, Uzbekistan in particular was singled out to produce "white gold."
By the end of the 1930s the Soviet Union had become self-sufficient in cotton; five decades later it had become a major exporter of cotton, producing more than one-fifth of the world's production, concentrated in Uzbekistan, which produced 70 percent of the Soviet Union's output.
Try as it might to diversify, in the absence of alternatives Tashkent remains wedded to cotton, producing about 3.6 million tons annually, which brings in more than $1 billion while constituting approximately 60 percent of the country's hard currency income.
Beginning in the mid-1960s the Soviet government's directives for Central Asian cotton production largely bankrupted the region's scarcest resource, water. Cotton uses about 3.5 acre feet of water per acre of plants, leading Soviet planners to divert ever-increasing volumes of water from the region's two primary rivers, the Amu Darya and Syr Darya, into inefficient irrigation canals, resulting in the dramatic shrinkage of the rivers' final destination, the Aral Sea. The Aral, once the world's fourth-largest inland sea with an area of 26,000 square miles, has shrunk to one-quarter its original size in one of the 20th century's worst ecological disasters.
And now, the dollars and cents. Dr. Bill Schillinger at Washington State University recently described camelina's business model to Capital Press as: "At 1,400 pounds per acre at 16 cents a pound, camelina would bring in $224 per acre; 28-bushel white wheat at $8.23 per bushel would garner $230."
Central Asia has the land, the farms, the irrigation infrastructure and a modest wage scale in comparison to America or Europe – all that's missing is the foreign investment. U.S. investors have the cash and access to the expertise of America's land grant universities. What is certain is that biofuel's market share will grow over time; less certain is who will reap the benefits of establishing it as a viable concern in Central Asia.
If the recent past is anything to go by it is unlikely to be American and European investors, fixated as they are on Caspian oil and gas.
But while the Japanese flight experiments indicate Asian interest, American investors have the academic expertise, if they are willing to follow the Silk Road into developing a new market. Certainly anything that lessens water usage and pesticides, diversifies crop production and improves the lot of their agrarian population will receive most careful consideration from Central Asia's governments, and farming and vegetable oil processing plants are not only much cheaper than pipelines, they can be built more quickly.
And jatropha's biofuel potential? Another story for another time.

We stood still in front of the cemetery fence. Karam stared at the well-worn asphalt road. This is where his cousin, Salah, fell right in front of his eyes two weeks ago. This is where Karam asked, "What is this - a joke, Salah?" before he saw his cousin's body convulse. Then he tried to pick him up, but Salah slipped from his arms. Israel Defense Forces soldiers fired a live bullet into Salah's head...
