International Women's Day: Forged in the flames of struggle
A hundred years have passed since the International Women's Day was first conceived - which makes Monday especially important. Over the last 10 to 15 years many thousands of women worldwide have begun to recognize and celebrate the day. But it is unfortunate that that its origins are not more widely known given its truly inspirational history.

Five German States Say Inflation Slowed in April on Energy
Inflation in five German states eased in April as energy prices rose at a slower pace.
Inflation rates declined in Saxony, Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Baden-Wuerttemberg and Bavaria, the states' statistics offices said today. Brandenburg's rate held steady.
Economists forecast that German inflation, calculated using a harmonized European Union method, slowed to 2.2 percent from 2.3 percent, according to the median of 22 estimates in a Bloomberg News survey. The Federal Statistics Office will release that report, based on data from the six states, later today.
"In the short term, everything depends on the development of oil prices," said Joerg Lueschow, head of economics at WestLB AG in Dusseldorf. "If oil prices are going to sink slightly, the inflation rate is probably going to fall below 2 percent in the second half of the year."
European Central Bank President Mario Draghi yesterday softened his tone on the inflation outlook in the 17-nation euro area after oil prices eased and the sovereign debt crisis worsened, threatening to derail the region's nascent economic recovery. Still, price pressures may build in Germany, Europe's largest economy, as unemployment at a two-decade low helps workers win bigger pay increases and boosts consumer spending.
In Saxony, household energy costs rose 5.2 percent in the year, with gas 7.5 percent more expensive and heating oil 6.9 percent dearer. Fuel prices were up 5.2 percent. Seasonal foods such as fresh vegetables were 2.7 percent cheaper than in April last year. Consumer prices increased 0.1 percent from March.
ECB Changes View
The price of crude oil has dropped 5 percent in the last two months.
The ECB in March forecast inflation of 2.4 percent this year, in breach of its 2 percent limit, even as it predicted the region's economy will contract 0.1 percent. Euro-area inflation was 2.7 percent in March.
ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio said yesterday that policy makers' assessment of inflation risks has changed.
"Because we see everywhere economic growth is slowing down a little bit, so we have a different perspective now on the risk for inflation coming from oil and commodities compared to earlier," he told reporters in Luxembourg. "We believe that oil prices will not continue to go up."
"Risks to the outlook for price developments are broadly balanced," Draghi told lawmakers yesterday. Three weeks ago he warned of "upside risks."
IMF Forecasts
Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann nevertheless said on April 23 that the International Monetary Fund's forecast for euro-area inflation to average 2 percent this year and slow to 1.6 percent in 2013 may be too optimistic.
"Taking into account rising energy prices and robust core inflation, prices could rise faster than the IMF expects," Weidmann said. "Even if we are concerned about the impact on the peripheral countries, monetary policy makers must do what is necessary once upside risks for euro-area inflation increase."
Inflation slowed the most in Baden-Wuerttemberg, where the rate dropped to 1.9 percent from 2.4 percent in March. The state said inflation was damped by the one-off impact of the abolition of university tuition fees.
Monthly Yearly Change Change Saxony 0.1% (0.3%) 2.0% (2.2%) Hesse 0.2% (0.2%) 1.9% (2.0%) Brandenburg 0.2% (0.2%) 2.1% (2.1%) North Rhine-Westphalia 0.2% (0.4%) 1.7% (1.8%) Baden-Wuerttemberg -0.2% (0.3%) 1.9% (2.4%) Bavaria 0.3% (0.1%) 2.2% (2.3%)

Keith Jones
Previous chairmen at the partnership -- which consists of around 300 downtown business leaders -- have pledged themselves toward such goals as bringing more businesses downtown or raising money for pro-business political candidates.
In an interview before the gala, Jones -- the managing partner of Ace Parking -- said he too wants to push for "catalytic projects," such as an expanded Convention Center, a downtown football stadium and a shuttle system connecting Balboa Park with the bay. But he adds that the problem of homelessness now looms over such initiatives.
In 2011, the homeless population jumped nearly 9 percent to around 9,800 people, according to the Regional Task Force on the Homeless. San Diego now ranks as having the 11th highest number of homeless in the nation and the 16th highest rate per capita, according to a study last year by the National Alliance to End Homelessness.
"Homelessness affects our businesses, merchants and residences," Jones said. "It drives some away from downtown, and it discourages others -- locals and internationals -- from investing and expanding in our neighborhood. And admittedly, without the businesses around me flourishing, mine can't succeed."
Jones added that his 60-year-old business -- previously headed by his father and grandfather -- has been directly affected by the issue, since many of the homeless spend their nights sleeping in his parking lots.
"For me and for my Ace team members, this problem has a very human, very tragic face," Jones said.
Jones said he will push to attract more federal and state funding for housing vouchers for the homeless to get them off the streets and into homes. At the same time, he wants to centralize social services to allow easier access for the homeless.
"The main thing we can do is provide a huge table for everyone to sit around and talk about how we can help resolve this," he said, adding that he is impressed with the work that Mayor Bob Filner's fiancee, Bronwyn Ingram, is already doing.

As Floodwaters Rise, So Do Thais' Crocodile Fears
Reptiles Escape Farms, Spurring Bid to Bring Them Back Alive
BANG BUA THONG, Thailand—The best way to catch a crocodile, says Praiphan Thienthong, is with patience and electric shock.
Mr. Praiphan, a crocodile catcher at Thailand's Department of Fisheries, is working overtime to help chase down more than 100 of the reptiles believed to have escaped from crocodile farms as Thailand's worst floods in half a century washed over their pens and swept them downstream to Bangkok's northern suburbs.
"You've got to keep shocking the crocodile until it falls unconscious," the 52-year-old Mr. Praiphan as he twitched his thick, black mustache and patted a six-foot-long crocodile that was trussed up on the floor of his flat-bottom motorboat, located about a 20-minute drive from the center of Bangkok. "This one was tough. It dove deep so we had to keep chasing it until we could give it a good zap."
"Otherwise you have to shoot it," he said, patting a handgun strapped at his side. "And we don't want to do that. We're here to save the crocodiles."
In Thailand's unfolding flood crisis, the crocodiles lend a dimension of fear to the already heavy toll on lives and livelihoods, and the threat of further destruction. Thailand's prime minister warned Tuesday that the capital, which until now has remained largely dry, is vulnerable if flood barriers don't hold.
Manifesting the uncertainty, animals of all kinds are competing with humans for patches of dry ground.
"This is the worst thing—knowing that there might be a crocodile or snake there waiting for you when you go back to check your home," said Patchara Promkaew, 43 years old, as she surveyed her flood-washed home from an embankment.
Crocodile reports have arrived alongside rumors of attacks, though no cases could be verified and authorities quickly dismissed such stories. Thailand's crocodiles, for the most part the freshwater Siamese variety, tend to be smaller and less aggressive than some of their saltwater counterparts.
In past centuries, crocodiles were plentiful and Thais grew accustomed to living side-by-side with them. Temples dedicated to crocodile spirits can be found around the country.
But over the past 30 years, Thailand's startling economic transformation has made the country more susceptible to flooding, while also leaving many of its residents less prepared to deal with unforeseen dangers of the wild.
Flooding Impact
Satellite images taken before and after the flooding along the Chao Phraya River and around the city of Ayutthaya, Thailand, north of Bangkok, show the spread.
Japanese and U.S. firms helped to industrialize broad swaths of the country from the mid-1980s onward. Property developers helped turn rice fields and wetlands, which had helped to contain seasonal flooding, into industrial estates and subdivisions of uniform townhouses.
More than one-third of Thailand's 65 million people now live in cities, where many people now trade rumors about the latest surges over social-networking sites.
But rice farmers, the traditional backbone of Thailand's agricultural economy, have also inadvertently played a role. In past years many began looking for new ways to supplement their income and catch up with their richer, urban compatriots.
Some tried crocodile farming. Thai authorities estimate that tens of thousands of crocodiles are reared in more 800 farms that feed a global demand for crocodile-skin shoes and handbags.
But rising floodwaters have created a phenomenon scientists call involuntary repopulation, and spurred a surge in demand for kraetong, or crocodile-wranglers, like Mr. Praiphan.
Fanning out this week across a flooded northern Bangkok suburb, Bang Bua Thong, Mr. Praiphan and other teams of crocodile hunters carefully steered their boats past submerged buses and flooded supermarket parking lots.
Before the flood arrived over the weekend, nearly a quarter of a million people lived here, a testament to the country's rapid growth. Luxurious mansions, seedy massage parlors and dozens of convenience stores are submerged under as much as six feet of water.
"Look at it now. This is unbelievable," said local resident Phirachai Chainakul as he watched several cars bobbing near an Esso gas station.
The previous day, crocodile-catcher Wattanakorn Boonsriwong said local volunteers shot two crocodiles dead nearby. "One group cut off the head of the crocodile and tied it to the front of their boat," he said. Some farm operators are offering bounties of up to 5,000 baht, or around $165, for each crocodile's safe return.
The Fisheries Department is keen to head off vigilante search teams, for the good of both the animals and local residents. The government kraetong use long, electrified cattle prods to stun the reptiles before snaring them and dragging them onboard to cover their eyes and secure their jaws with thick rope.
Midafternoon, working from reports of crocodile sightings, Mr. Praiphan played cat and mouse with a crocodile that made several deep dives in a temple complex before being subdued. It was the fishery team's fifth croc in two days.
It's an unusual job, even for Mr. Praiphan, who usually inspects fishery stocks around Bangkok. "We have studied the crocodile's behavior and habitat, so we know what to do," he says.
Mr. Praiphan has also spent hours watching crocodile shows such as History Channel's "Swamp People," plus similar programs on the Discovery and National Geographic channels. "I love them. Love them all," he says.
After Mr. Praiphan and his team caught the fifth crocodile, his boss, Director-General Wimol Jantrarotai, organized a live interview with Thailand's Channel 7 network.
"It's important to use this opportunity to show people that there's nothing to fear about crocodiles," Mr. Wimol said as he waded through the flood waters to reach the news crew. "In the past we lived alongside crocodiles in all kinds of habitats. Now we just have to learn to do it again."

Almirall has reached an agreement with AB-Biotics to enter the share capital of the company listed on the Spanish Alternative Investment Market (MAB). This operation enables Almirall to complement its commitment to innovation through pharmacogenetics and personalised medicine, one of the specialist areas of AB-Biotics.
Almirall becoming part of the share capital of AB-Biotics will enhance the commercial expansion of the pharmacogenetics tests developed by the biotech company. Both companies will be working together on the promotion and commercialisation of Neurofarmagen in Spain from 2013. It is a genetic test that uses DNA extracted from a saliva sample to enable the doctor to identify a patient's predilection to respond to the most commonly used active principles in the treatment of depression, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and epilepsy. Pharmacogenetics complements Almirall's innovative project portfolio, which is currently focused on respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders and dermatology.
The operation will become effective by the subscription by Almirall of 465,115 shares from AB-Biotics, at a value of EUR 2.15 per share, as part of the share capital increase that AB-Biotics currently holds open in the MAB and guarantees a minimum shareholding of 5.0 per cent. This capital will go towards financing studies and research programmes in AB-Biotics's genetics area, and the international expansion of products in this area.

Sonal Khullar
Associate Professor
Art Building, room 363
MA, University of California at Berkeley, 2004
PhD, University of California at Berkeley, 2009
South Asian art
My research and teaching interests include the art of South Asia (with a focus on the period from the eighteenth century until the present), transnational histories of modern and contemporary art, the anthropology of art, feminist theory, and postcolonial studies. In addition to my full-time appointment in art history, I am an adjunct associate professor of Gender, Women, and Sexuality Studies and an affiliate faculty member of the South Asian Studies program in the Jackson School of International Studies.
My first book, Worldly Affiliations: Artistic Practice, National Identity, and Modernism in India, 1930-1990, appeared with the University of California Press in 2015. Drawing on Edward Said's notion of affiliation as a critical and cultural imperative against empire and nation-state, this book traces the emergence of a national art world in twentieth-century India and emphasizes its cosmopolitan ambitions and orientations. My current book project, The Art of Dislocation: Conflict and Collaboration in Contemporary Art from South Asia, examines how collaboration has emerged as a hallmark of contemporary art in South Asia and a critical response to globalization since the 1990s. Through close study of artists and artworks from India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, I analyze how artists have responded to conflicts—defined along religious, ethnic, caste, linguistic, classed, and gendered lines—over place by embracing a collaborative practice of art that engages and departs from Western models of site-specificity and social activism.
I offer courses on the art of South Asia from antiquity to the present, colonial and postcolonial museums in South Asia, critical historiography and methods, and globalization in the art world. My research and teaching tend to be interdisciplinary, and I make active use of area collections and special exhibitions, often working closely with curators, librarians, and faculty colleagues. In my courses, I welcome students with a background in South Asian studies, architecture, history, anthropology, geography, literary studies, religious studies, feminist studies, and related disciplines.

Résumé :
"Born in South Carolina to a wealthy white father and mixed race mother, Robert Purvis (1810-1898) was one of the nineteenth century's leading black abolitionists and orators. In this first biography of Purvis, Margaret Hope Bacon uses his eloquent and often fierce speeches to provide a glimpse into the life of a passionate and distinguished man, intimately involved with a wide range of major reform movements, including abolition, civil rights, Underground Railroad activism, women's rights, Irish Home Rule, Native American rights, and prison reform. Citing his role in developing the Philadelphia Vigilant Committee, an all black organization that helped escaped slaves secure passage to the North, the New York Times described Purvis at the time of his death as the president of the Underground Railroad. Voicing his opposition to a decision by the state of Pennsylvania to disenfranchise black voters in 1838, Purvis declared "there is but one race, the human race." But One Race is the dramatic story of one of the most important figures of his time."--Jacket.

2016 NFL Preview: Raiders will be a Super Bowl contender, and soonFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 20 hrs ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order of our initial 2016 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 6, the day before the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the preseason.
If the Oakland Raiders break out this season, we can point to last Dec. 13 as one of the turning points.
The Raiders were 5-7, still searching for a quality win that would make everyone take notice of their improvement. Against the Denver Broncos, defensive star Khalil Mack had five sacks. Quarterback Derek Carr threw two second-half touchdowns against the best defense in football. The Raiders went into Denver and beat the eventual Super Bowl champions 15-12. The Broncos went 8-2 from Nov. 22 on, including a Super Bowl 50 win. Denver only lost at Pittsburgh (understandable) and at home against the Raiders.
It wasn't the prettiest win for the Raiders, but it mattered. Given the strides the Raiders have made the past couple years, it seemed like a milestone in their rebuild. My guess is that by the end of this season, everyone will agree that the Raiders are finally back.

Josh Norman steers clear of trash talk war with Odell BeckhamFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 1 day ago
Josh Norman showed remarkable restraint.
You'd figure that after New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham told GQ that Norman was only relevant because of him, Norman would to respond in kind. Norman is not afraid of mixing it up. But the Washington Redskins cornerback didn't address Beckham's comments when asked by Yahoo Sports.
"Really, there's nothing to talk about," Norman said. "It's just like beating a dead horse in a sense … asking me what I take on it. Like, come on man, everybody who knows me knows what I take on it. Am I going to say it? No. We'll just have to see when the times get here."
Norman has not backed down from Beckham before, on the field when the two had numerous scraps during last season's Carolina Panthers-Giants game, or after the game when Norman was asked about Beckham. And Norman seemed to indicate that he might address the topic down the road, before the Giants and Redskins play this season.
2016 NFL Preview: Ravens aim to rebound, but with an aging coreFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 1 day ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order of our initial 2016 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 6, the day before the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the preseason.
Some organizations earn unwavering trust. The Baltimore Ravens are one.
The Ravens have not had back-to-back losing seasons this century. Last year was only the fourth losing season Baltimore has had since 1998. And when the Ravens have slipped under .500, they have bounced back strong. The last three times the Ravens were coming off a losing season, they won 10, 13 and 11 games. The organization is rock solid, one of the best in the NFL.
So was the 5-11 record the Ravens put up in 2015 just another speed bump or a sign there are finally some cracks in the foundation?
It's almost impossible for a team to overcome all those injuries. It also renders most of 2015 useless, as far as predicting the 2016 Ravens.
But assuming the Ravens' injured players come back strong (especially Flacco, who tore his ACL) and most of the old vets hold up for another year, the Ravens should be competitive again. That's just what they do.
Larry Fitzgerald ready to play 'as long as I need to'Frank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 2 days ago
Larry Fitzgerald is working on a campaign called "Riddell Smarter Football," which makes sense. Fitzgerald has been able to prolong his career by being smart at every step.
Fitzgerald had 1,215 receiving yards last season for the NFC West champion Arizona Cardinals. He turned 32 years old just before the season started. That used to be considered old for a receiver, unless you were Jerry Rice or Cris Carter. Fitzgerald is still one of the NFL's best receivers and said he hasn't thought about retirement.
"I can play as long as I need to," Fitzgerald said. "My body feels good. I still like the mental preparation. The only thing that changes is people's perception about you when you reach a certain age."
There are many great players who aren't slowing down in their 30s. Quarterbacks like Tom Brady and Drew Brees are still playing at a very high level, and skill-position players like Adrian Peterson and Steve Smith are too. Perhaps we need to reconsider what is old for an NFL player. The entire landscape has changed, with more information about nutrition, training and medicine, allowing players to have longer careers.

2016 NFL Preview: Rex Ryan's Bills defense has to get betterFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 2 days ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order of our initial 2016 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 6, the day before the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the preseason.
When you think of a Rex Ryan team, two things come to mind: an aggressive, stout defense, and a mediocre offense.
Defense is Ryan's calling card. That's what made his 2015 Buffalo Bills team so confusing.
Buffalo hit the lottery by gambling on Tyrod Taylor at quarterback. Some teams spend decades looking for a solution at quarterback, and the Bills found one for a three-year, $3.35 million contract. The Bills had a pretty good offense. It ranked ninth in Football Outsiders' DVOA per-play metric. They were tied for sixth in the NFL in yards per play, 13th in yards per game and 12th in scoring offense. Taylor played well. They had a strong run game. The offense was better than anyone figured.
If Ryan's defense was better, the Bills' long playoff drought would have ended. Nobody expected that script.

Odell Beckham: Josh Norman is relevant 'because of me'Frank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 3 days ago
I'm thankful for a lot of things, and high on the list is Josh Norman signing with an NFC East team.
Now we get two games per season of what has to be the best personal rivalry in the NFL, Norman vs. New York Giants receiver Odell Beckham.
Norman and Beckham played the feud last season when Norman was with the Carolina Panthers, fighting often during a late-season game between the teams. Beckham was suspended a game for his actions. Then Norman was let loose by the Panthers and signed with the Washington Redskins. You might think Norman signed in Washington because of the $75 million he was given, but Beckham thinks there was another reason.
"If I wasn't playing him twice a year, maybe people wouldn't bring it up as much," Beckham told GQ, via the New York Post and Complex. "But now it'll be a lot more attention for him, attention that I don't really look for, attention I don't really need. The reason that he's become so relevant is because of me."
2016 NFL Preview: Will a tougher schedule upend the Redskins?Frank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 3 days ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order of our initial 2016 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 6, the day before the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the preseason.
How heavily do you weigh strength of schedule in the NFL? Your answer will determine what you think about the Washington Redskins.
On one hand, we all know that playing the New England Patriots, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers is tougher than playing the Cleveland Browns and Tennessee Titans. So NFL strength of schedule matters, of course. But to what degree?
That last paragraph is a long way of saying that all NFL teams are good. The difference between No. 1 and No. 32 isn't as large as you think. Alabama can schedule Chattanooga, and the Crimson Tide's chances of losing are about 0 percent. A team like Oklahoma will play what, three games this season in which it will truly be tested? Maybe four, five at the most? NFL teams don't have that luxury. Every week you play a team capable of beating you.
That last point makes the Redskins an interesting study.
Instant star: Cowboys rookie has NFL's highest selling jersey since AprilFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 4 days ago
Ezekiel Elliott is going to see a ton of playing time this season as a rookie for the Dallas Cowboys. And there will be a lot of people in the stands wearing his jersey while he runs the ball.
Elliott, the fourth pick of this year's NFL draft, already has the highest selling jersey in the NFL since April. That news comes from NFL spokesman Randall Liu, based on NFLShop.com sales.
It's strange to see Elliott, who has never taken an NFL snap, selling more jerseys than stars like Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers and J.J. Watt. But it makes perfect sense. Fans obviously didn't have a chance to buy Elliott's jersey before April, when he was drafted, but have had years to buy the jersey of their favorite star. The Cowboys are a huge draw across the country, and Elliott will play a glamour position for them. Elliott also was a fantastic player at Ohio State, which has plenty of fans as well.
For many rookies, seeing fans wearing their jersey is a fun milestone. Elliott won't have to look far to find someone wearing his jersey.

2016 NFL Preview: Don't buy all the Jaguars hype just yetFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 4 days ago
Shutdown Corner is previewing all 32 teams as we get ready for the NFL season, counting down the teams one per day in reverse order of our initial 2016 power rankings. No. 1 will be revealed on Aug. 6, the day before the Hall of Fame Game kicks off the preseason.
We know some team will have a dramatic improvement this season and find itself in the playoffs. It happens every year. What we don't know is who that surprise team will be. That's what makes guessing so fun.
This season, the bandwagon seems to be overflowing for two teams. We'll get to the Oakland Raiders later in this series. But first, let's examine the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Who doesn't like the Jaguars' direction heading into this season? There is Blake Bortles' statistical improvement, two young and talented receivers, a free-agency shopping spree and a draft that was universally praised. Add in the return of 2015 first-round pick Dante Fowler from injury to help the pass rush, and it's no surprise the Jaguars are one of this year's helium teams.
Is the hype justified? Be skeptical.
That doesn't mean everything Bortles did last season was meaningless, but it puts his 4,428 yards into perspective.

Charles Tillman retires with a creative, funny videoFrank Schwab at Shutdown Corner 5 days ago
There are many ways to retire from the NFL, but not many have been better than Charles Tillman's announcement.
Tillman, the longtime Chicago Bears cornerback known as "Peanut" who spent last season with the Carolina Panthers, became famous for his ability to force fumbles, doing so 44 times in his 13-year career. That's amazing for a cornerback. He perfected the "Peanut Punch," and his retirement video had him showing up in various situations and knocking away things:
At the end of the video, Tillman punched out at the employee time clock (get it?) and hung up his cleats. It was a little more complex than Marshawn Lynch's way of retiring, but a great way to go for a player who became well known for his play on the field and his charity work off it.
Tillman finished with 38 interceptions, two Pro Bowls, one All-Pro nod and one very funny retirement announcement.

Review quote
"Though penned primarily for those with more advanced knowledge of forensic issues (including those practicing within the justice system), this work might prove useful for anyone interested in the various intriguing and complicated challenges in the subspecialty of forensic psychiatry." -Steven T. Herron, MD, University of Arizona Health Sciences Center, USA " ... a very comprehensive and thorough review of the whole field of forensic psychiatry. It is a book that every practising forensic psychiatrist would benefit from having. There is no other textbook as comprehensive as this concerned with UK forensic psychiatry: subjects are covered in depth with a vast array of references and articles synthesised. By and large it's accurate and up-to-date. It's a real achievement ... . Highly Commended." -2014 BMA Medical Book Awardsshow more

Molybdate is an essential trace element required by biological systems including the anaerobic sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB); however, detrimental consequences may occur if molybdate is present in high concentrations in the environment. While molybdate is a structural analog of sulfate and inhibits sulfate respiration of SRB, little information is available concerning the effect of molybdate on pure cultures. We followed the growth of Desulfovibrio gigas ATCC 19364, Desulfovibrio vulgaris Hildenborough, Desulfovibrio desulfuricans DSM 642, and D. desulfuricans DSM 27774 in media containing sub-lethal levels of molybdate and observed a red-brown color in the culture fluid. Spectral analysis of the culture fluid revealed absorption peaks at 467, 395 and 314 nm and this color is proposed to be a molybdate–sulfide complex. Reduction of molybdate with the formation of molybdate disulfide occurs in the periplasm D. gigas and D. desulfuricans DSM 642. From these results we suggest that the occurrence of poorly crystalline Mo-sulfides in black shale may be a result from SRB reduction and selective enrichment of Mo in paleo-seawater.

Beverage Industry Interviews
"We are craft but we are not part of the craft movement" - Interview, Hine international sales director Per Even Allaire 19 Jul 16
Best known as a vintage Cognac specialist, privately-owned Hine last month released Bonneuil 2006, an expression that does not carry one of the category's traditional VS, VSOP or XO descriptors. As China - the most important market for Cognac in recent years - moves away from the XO-and-above Cognac segment, and the idea of 'craft' drives interest in the category's smaller houses, Hine's new international sales director, Per Even Allaire, tells just-drinks how the company plans to make the most of the new world order.
"I'm not going for super-premium; Red Square is what Red Square is" - Interview, Stewart Hainsworth, CEO, Halewood Wines & Spirits - Part II 14 Jul 16
Having set out his strategy for Halewood Wine & Spirits and its international units in the first of this two-part interview with just-drinks, CEO Stewart Hainsworth today discusses getting the group's brands in order ahead of laying out plans for acquisitions and launches.
"Halewood was a business that just didn't know where it was going" - Interview, Stewart Hainsworth, CEO, Halewood Wines & Spirits - Part I 12 Jul 16
Since forming in 1978, privately-owned Halewood Wines & Spirits has quietly carved a niche in the UK's beer, wine, spirits and RTD categories, through the Lambrini, Red Square vodka and Crabbie's Alcoholic Ginger Beer brands. However, performance has suffered in the years following founder John Halewood's death. In the first of a two-part interview, group CEO Stewart Hainsworth talks to just-drinks' deputy editor, Lucy Britner, about his vision for the group's future growth as well as Russian oligarchs and the company's recent stake purchase in The Pogues Irish whiskey.

Playdead's followup to Limbo expands on and improves all of that game's ideas so thoroughly, there's no question why it took six years to get here.
Homefront may look pretty, but it's a monotonous and confused slog.
It's hard to imagine a better Doom game in 2016 than this exhilarating, darkly witty new take on id's classic.
Game »
consists of 6 releases.
Released Sep 10, 1997
Instrumental music, often electronic, that does not follow conventional music structures, instead using various sounds to create a mood. Ambient music can evoke many different feelings in the listener, from tranquility to creeping dread.
Auto-aiming (or Auto-targeting) allows for a character to attack or interact with an object or enemy that's very near to the player or within their field of vision.
Backtracking is the act of navigating through previously explored areas, usually for the purpose of progressing in an objective-based adventure game. Players who are lost may also backtrack to reorient themselves.

A Bio-Organic Weapon (B.O.W.) is a genetically modified enemy created by the Umbrella Corporation.
Necessary to sustain life in organic creatures, the crimson fluid known as blood tends to make appearances when the body's structure is compromised in some way, a very, very common occurrence in videogames.
Games in which the blood type of a character is provided in their description. In Japanese culture blood type is thought to help determine compatibility between people.
Video game bosses are usually the main antagonist, and arch nemesis of the main protagonist. In most cases the end of a game is when the main character defeats the final boss.
Climbing is a common tradition in games, particularly platformers. There is often a particular type of surface that can be climbed, and it has a recognizably different look than other surfaces in the game. Climbing ladders or stairs doesn't count.
CQC and CQB are close range combat techniques.
Although force feedback is often used in games to indicate such commonalities as when a player character is taking damage or feeling weapon recoil, it is sometimes used in more creative ways, such as providing hints to finding an item or providing emphasis during an otherwise non-interactive cinematic sequence. These games feature more creative uses of rumble than the norm.
Many RPGs and survival horror games have the player find diaries written by people that were slowly transforming into monsters or zombies. Somehow, they make sure to keep writing in their diary, right up until they're no longer human, so that the player can read their mindlessly violent final thoughts.
The main line of distinction between victory or failure in video games, death is the process of a biological being ceasing to be alive.
Decapitation is the removal of the head of a person or animal.
Sometimes you want a challenge, sometimes you wanna coast.

A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
This concept is for games where the main playable character is female.
In games, fire can be an obstacle, a tool, a weapon, or a solution. Just don't play with it...unless you really want to.
The fixed camera was made famous by games such as the Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid franchises. Depending on the camera set, up could be down and left could be right. Even in the later generation of consoles, games like the God of War franchise still use this technique.
Most modern shooting games add the realistic touch of rendering shots to the cranium instantly fatal. Glorious for the shooter, kind of a bummer to the shootee.
Health is a value that gauges how much damage players can take in a game before they die or pass out. Also known as life in some games. Health is usually represented by a bar or a percentage instead of an exact amount. Found in most non sport games
A half human, half reptile mutant introduced in Resident Evil, Hunters recur throughout the series in numerous forms.
A gameplay mechanic allowing players to store their items and freely carry them around.
Usually found in adventure games, when players combine two or more items to create one or more new items.
Commonly found in Survival Horror games, this concept only lets you save your game using an item which the game then gave you in limited supply.
Limb Targeting is the ability to target specific limbs on the body with the object being either to disable the limb or kill the target faster. It may also be referred to as the "Limb System" or "Localized Damage".

Thurston Elementary School is a public school located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The school serves kindergarten through fifth grade students. It is located at 2300 Prairie Road, Ann Arbor, Michigan, 48105 near the Huron Parkway and Plymouth Road intersection. It is named in honor of Lee M. Thurston, a former Assistant Superintendent of Schools in Ann Arbor and United States Commissioner of Education. Thurston graduates attend Clague Middle School, and then Huron High School.[2]
Thurston Elementary School earned an "A" on the Michigan Department of Education Report Card consistently since 2004. The school has consistently met Annual Yearly Progress (AYP).[3]
The table below shows the percent of students who met or exceeded standards on the Fall 2011 Michigan Educational Assessment Program (MEAP) test:
|3rd Grade

Thurston Nature Center[edit]
The Thurston Nature Center is a 24-acre preserve with a 7-acre pond (Thurston Pond). It is located just north of the school and is owned by Ann Arbor Public Schools. It is run by a Thurston PTO sub-committee. The Nature Center is utilized by staff and students to help with environmental education. Students and the neighborhood also help maintain the Nature Center and enhance it through the Green School initiative.[5]
Thurston Players[edit]
Thurston Players are an Ann Arbor Community Theater Group that puts on an annual musical performance each Spring. The cast and crew are more than 200 Thurston Elementary School students, alumni, parents, and staff. Each year's performance is an original production that is written by the Thurston Community. This tradition started in 1974 by Jan and Nancy Keller. Originally, the cast included only adult performers. In 1997, students were added to the cast. Since its inception, it has become an annual fundraiser for the PTO. Part of the funds raised are used for college scholarships to Thurston Player alums. Their director, Phil Zaret, has directed the play for many of the past 30 years.

A Day of Honor
By stephen.fox on Nov 11, 2009
Oracle Salutes Military Men and Women
Here in the United States, we are observing Veterans Day. In Europe, today is Armistice Day or Remembrance Day. We commemorate the end of major hostilities of World War I by honoring all military veterans. At Oracle OpenWorld 2009, you may have met some servicemen and women participating in Oracle's Injured Veteran Job and Training Program who took the time to share their stories with the Oracle community during the show.
Oracle's Injured Veteran Job and Training Program is specifically designed to help women and men injured in the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars transition to civilian employment. In partnership with the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes, our goal is to provide injured veterans with employment experience that may lead to regular employment.
In our latest issue of Profit magazine, we meet Joshua Lawton-Belous, a vet with a traumatic brain injury who is participating in the program. He explains the difficulty some veterans have finding work when they return home, and points out the opportunities now available through the training program. Oracle's Diversity Director Jane Robertson says, "Our hope is that the folks who do participate will be significantly helped."
All of us working behind-the-scenes on Oracle OpenWorld wanted to take this opportunity to thank all of the veterans—and their families—for their service and sacrifice. If you know someone interested in joining the Injured Veteran Job and Training Program, have them download and complete the application. And, please take some time today to thank the men and women who serve.
