Hi Midori,
I know, it's good to be back in touch! I'm back in the USA now.
, I just had one question before popping the question over to Iain.  
Based on the definition of Ndc80 complex and NMS Complex (and the fact 
that Ndc80 associates with the kinetochore only during mitosis), I would 
have thought that these terms would be "part of" condensed chromosome 
kinetochore rather that the more generic  kinetochore or  am I missing 
something(?)
