by James Slater - Last week on Setanta TV, Richard Schaefer spoke on Bernard Hopkins' behalf, and said he was trying to tempt Joe Calzaghe to come out of his retirement and fight B-Hop, who he out-pointed last April, again. The Golden Boy promoter said he "hasn't given up hope" of a rematch taking place, and that he believes Hopkins, who is seemingly desperate to get it on again with the Welshman, has "unfinished business" with Calzaghe. Well, over the weekend, in speaking to the BBC, 36-year-old Calzaghe said he will in no way be coming back to face "The Executioner", and that he is content where he is - in retirement. "I don't know if anyone remembers, but I have retired," Joe said, feeling a little irritated due to the constant talk of who and when he will box again. "I am happy with my decision to retire and couldn't consider fighting Bernard as I don't have the motivation." So there it is, despite Schaefer's insistence that Hopkins would be more than willing to travel across to Wales for a return match, Joe says no. Calzaghe went into more detail about why he has no desire to box the all-time great from Philadelphia for a second time, or anybody else for that matter. "Hopkins has said that we have unfinished business and that I should give him a rematch. [But] I have already beaten Hopkins once," Joe said. "It wasn't a great fight and styles make fights and he came to hold and spoil, rather than to execute as his nickname suggests. "Motivation is a key thing for me. Throughout my career I gave some of my worst performances against the worst fighters, guys you've never heard of and who I simply didn't want to be in the ring with. When you are thinking like that it's dangerous, because you have to be 100-percent focused on your opponent and a few times in my career, I wasn't right, wasn't focused enough. "I can't stop people speculating and I can't stop people talking about whether or not I will fight again. But I've said it once and I'm happy to do so again, don't bet on a Joe Calzaghe comeback." It seems there is no doubting the sincerity of the 46-0 fighter's retirement. It also seems as though the two-time world champion will go down in history as one of the few who managed to retire and keep their reputation and their health by staying retired - so adamant does Joe sound about the decision he made. Despite a number of fans being sceptical, Calzaghe's mind has been made up. As such, it looks like Bernard Hopkins will be giving Tomasz Adamek a call pretty soon.

| URL of Published Version: http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1574-6968.2010.01907.x Identification Number/DOI: doi:10.1111/j.1574-6968.2010.01907.x Random mutagenesis has been used to identify the target DNA sites for the MalI repressor at the divergent Escherichia coli K-12 malX-malI promoters. The malX promoter is repressed by MalI binding to a DNA site located from position -24 to position -9, upstream of the malX promoter transcript start. The malI promoter is repressed by MalI binding from position +3 to position +18, downstream of the malI transcript start. MalI binding at the malI promoter target is not required for repression of the malX promoter. Similarly, MalI binding at the malX promoter target is not required for repression of the malI. Although the malX and malI promoters are regulated by a single DNA site for cyclic AMP receptor protein, they function independently and each is repressed by MalI binding to a different independent operator site. |

The importance of dissolved organic nutrients in the biogeochemistry of oligotrophic gyres
Landolfi, Angela (2005) The importance of dissolved organic nutrients in the biogeochemistry of oligotrophic gyres. University of Southampton, Faculty of Engineering Science and Mathematics, School of Ocean and Earth Science, Doctoral Thesis , 148pp.
Download (6Mb) |
The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the observational database in order to address fundamental questions as to how dissolved organic nutrients influence N and P budgets, how they affect nutrient cycling and the sustainment of biological production within two major ocean oligotrophic gyres: the Southern Indian Ocean gyre and the subtropical North Atlantic gyre.
A transect across the Indian ocean at 32°S conducted in March/April 2002 was sampled for dissolved oxygen, inorganic and organic nutrients and phytoplankton pigments concentrations. A second cruise was undertaken in April/May 2004 across the oligotrophic North Atlantic Ocean at 24oN. A similar set of samples were collected on the second cruise and in addition the stable nitrogen isotopic signature of particulate organic matter was determined plus surface enzymatic activity and primary production incubation measurements.
The Indian ocean basin is characterized by low N:P ratios both in the inorganic and organic fractions with respect to phytoplankton nutrient requirements driven by an excess of denitrification over N2 fixation. The strongly non-Redfieldian TON:TOP ratio suggests a decoupling of TON and TOP remineralization processes and indicates a severe TON deficiency brought by the strong nitrate limitation that leads to a community demand for TON. TON and TOP Ekman meridional advection played a small but not trivial role in providing N and P into the gyre to support export production. It is estimated that the contribution of TON advection is of the same order as the new N supplied by N2 fixation into the gyre. In the Indian Ocean 40% of the net N transported by the overturning circulation across the boundary at 32°S, is attributable to organic nutrients. To close the N budget assuming the upper range estimates of denitrification to be correct, the inclusion of organic nutrient transport by the ITF is required. Hence, the Indian Ocean N budget conforms to a steady state where excess of denitrification over N2 fixation is compensated for by atmospheric, riverine and a hypothesized flux of DON in through the ITF.
In the permanently stratified North Atlantic subtropical gyre, nutrient supply pathways for the growth of phytoplankton are unclear and appear inadequate for the maintenance of the observed export production. Here the significance of two mechanisms, N2 fixation and the bioavailability of organic nutrients, has been investigated. The computation of a new geochemical proxy, TNex, for the determination of N to P anomalies suggests that N2 fixation is more important than previously thought. The spatial distribution of the isotopic composition of particulate organic matter shows a N2 fixation signal across most of the basin with the exception of the coastal margins and a central region. Thus no latitudinal gradient in diazotrophy, as suggested by other workers, is apparent. TON and TOP represented not only the major component of the upper ocean N and P pools but were also bioavailable to the community through the release of extracellular enzymes. The cycling of TON and TOP was decoupled, with higher turnover rates of the TOP pool as compared to the TON pool. Both TON and TOP could potentially sustain a significant fraction of primary production and TOP could potentially provide nearly all the P needed by N2 fixers. In conclusion, in the permanently stratified North Atlantic subtropical gyre, N2 fixation and the bioavailability of organic N and P appear to be major mechanisms for supplying nutrients and sustaining phytoplankton growth.

Richard Roberts, Sudipta N. Sinha, Richard Szeliski, and Drew Steedly
June 2011
Most existing structure from motion (SFM) approaches for unordered images cannot handle multiple instances of the same structure in the scene. When image pairs containing different instances are matched based on visual similarity, the pairwise geometric relations as well as the correspondences inferred from such pairs are erroneous, which can lead to catastrophic failures in the reconstruction.
In this paper, we investigate the geometric ambiguities caused by the presence of repeated or duplicate structures and show that to disambiguate between multiple hypotheses requires more than pure geometric reasoning. We couple an expectation maximization (EM)-based algorithm that estimates camera poses and identifies the false match-pairs with an efficient sampling method to discover plausible data association hypotheses. The sampling method is informed by geometric and image-based cues. Our algorithm usually recovers the correct data association, even in the presence of large numbers of false pairwise matches.

PHOENIX - An appeals court blocked Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer's policy of denying driver's licenses to young immigrants who have gotten work permits and avoided deportation under an Obama administration policy.
The ruling Monday by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco marks a victory for immigrant rights advocates who argued the young immigrants were harmed by unequal treatment by the state.
The appeals court agreed on that issue and said the advocates also showed a likelihood that the immigrants would be harmed by the state's denial.
The Obama administration took steps in June 2012 to shield thousands of young immigrants from deportation.
The state revised its driver's license policy by halting licenses to all people who receive deportation deferrals from the federal government, not just young immigrants given protection under Obama's policy.

Researchers down under were surprised to discover 57 hybrid sharks off Australia's east coast. These black-tip sharks are crossbreeds of two species and display characteristics of both. These sharks were able to interbreed because they were of the same created kind, not because they were evolving into a new kind of creature.
A team reports in the journal Proceedings B that fish gills may not have evolved to help fish breathe. Yet no aspect of the study explains how gills—or any aspect of fish anatomy—could have evolved given that we have not observed information-adding genetic mutations.
Chances are your child's picture book of "scary animals" features a piranha, and the last thing you expected to hear about was a vegetarian piranha. But scientists have found one, and it is completely herbivorous!
More than sixty species of fish can escape their watery world and glide through the air. This unusual skill enables them to escape underwater predators and cover vast distances quickly. The design of flying fish may prove useful for future airplanes.
Did jawed vertebrates start out with bones or not? Evolutionists want to know.
Will fish out of water evolve?
In the twilight zone, bright sharks know how to hide in the light.
Subzero water is a death trap for most animals. Icefish, on the other hand, make their home in it.
How could anyone resist a face like this?
The fearsome piranha's vegetarian version uses its teeth to shred plants, not meat.
Evolutionists suggest that we can thank an early jawless fish's experimentation for the fact that we have right and left versions of our arms and legs.
Development of "pre-hands" in fish said to show how terrestrial animals evolved limbs.
Biological cloaking design of silver fish offers biomimetic possibilities.

Thinking of taking a GPS-powered navigational device on your next road trip? Why not let a shark "ride shotgun" instead?
In April 2009 we reported on a study showing that mosquito fish can perform basic math tasks (specifically, counting and comparing numbers of symbols). New research goes a step farther, suggesting that mosquito fish have the numerical skills of college students.
"[O]ne of the fastest evolutionary responses ever recorded in wild populations," claims a press release about recent research. But is it really "evolution"?
At least in terms of shape, the hammerhead shark is one of God's stranger creations. Or was it a "creation" of evolution?
Did fish gills evolve to help fish breathe, or did they evolve to help fish regulate body chemicals? Or did fish gills evolve at all?
The word "piranha" conjures up visions of vast schools of small fishes quickly devouring anyone that should happen to fall into the river by accident.
It's a bit of a riddle: three fish are totally unlike one another, yet they're all the same species. How can it be?
The brownsnout spookfish isn't exactly a household name, but scientists have just discovered its claim to fame: eyes that incorporate not only lenses, but also mirrors to see into murky Pacific Ocean depths.
The beautiful clownfish possesses incredible navigation abilities.
After young orange clownfish (like Nemo from the Disney/Pixar film Finding Nemo) hatch, they spend nearly two weeks in the open sea, probably carried by currents far from home. Yet afterward, they often return to near the very spot where they were born—how?
The latest entities speaking in favor of evolution may be 400-million-year-old fish, according to researchers reporting in the journal Science.
We all know about evolution's supposed constructive results over the course of millions and millions of years. But what about a new study that documents "reverse evolution" in the last half century?
A University of Florida study focusing on genes that control "how and where body parts develop in animals" has resulted in evidence that the genetic "potential" to grow fingers and toes is found in sharks as well as bony fish.
A frilled shark living over half a mile under the sea has been caught on tape. Evolutionists and creationists are both calling this a "living fossil."
Two very different fish kinds, tuna and great white sharks, have been found to have a very similar body shape, enabling them to swim really fast with minimal effort.
One cruises through the water like a heat-seeking missile, the other swims gracefully like a giant bird in slow motion. They are the shark and the ray.
Sharks come in all shapes and sizes, from the bizarre-looking hammerhead shark, with its eyes at either end of a double hammer-shaped head, to the angel shark, which has ray-like 'wings'.
Having propelled themselves out of the water with great force, they spread these fins out like wings to glide through the air for up to several dozen metres.
One of the great resources of the west coast of the United States and Canada is the multitude of salmon in the coastal ocean and rivers.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

40 People With More Hollywood Connections Than Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon is only the 444th most connected person in Hollywood, according to an analysis of IMDB data. Here are Hollywood's 40 most connected actors and actresses.
Everyone in Hollywood can be connected to Kevin Bacon by six degrees or fewer — or at least that's the conceit behind the Kevin Bacon game. According to an analysis of IMDB data though, Kevin Bacon is only the 444th most connected person in Hollywood.
Here are the 40 most connected people in Hollywood, along with the average number of degrees it would take to link them to anyone else in Hollywood, according to Oracle of Bacon, a computer program developed by graduate students at the University of Virginia. You'll note they are mostly white male actors of a certain age — and Patrick Reynolds, the man behind the website, told BuzzFeed why.

Nouwens, Fons and Harreveld, R. E. (Bobby) and Luck, Jo and Danaher, P. A. (2005) Balanced interests: towards a holistic sociology of higher education evaluation. In: 2004 Evaluation Forum, 24-25 November 2004, Melbourne, Vic.

This paper provides one model for reflecting holistically on the practice and outcomes of evaluation in higher education institutions. It identifies three discrete but related areas of activity, each of which has distinctive interests which determine appropriate and legitimate evaluation approaches. The three interests are a managerial interest in control of organizational operations, interests of participants in teaching and study activities and interests of learners in their learning. Concern is expressed that, in the current environment, there is an imbalance of power among these three areas of activity. The power of information technologies to monitor and coordinate activities in education institutions aligns with managerial interests establishing discourses of control that take priority over teaching and study processes and over the quality of learning itself. The paper applies the suggested tripartite model to analyse the primary interests in evaluations and applies this analysis to evaluations of interactive video-conferencing in one university.

While origins are often cloaked in mystery, the precise evolution of the Ducati 750 GT is still discernible. The bevel-gear twin cylinders with a 90° V configuration, long known as an "L-twin" configuration, have a precise date of birth: March 20, 1970. British historian Ian Faloon relates that Fabio Taglioni drew the first sketch of what is perhaps his most famous and best loved engine, which over the years was to acquire the affectionate name of "pompone" ("big pump"), on the last day of winter 1970.
It was not long before the prototype was on the bench. It was a twin cylinder (really, a motorcycle engine's ideal structure) arranged longitudinally and in a 90° V configuration. As far as balance went, this was also the best choice.
Taglioni's method was direct, logical, and practical. He envisioned the bike as an essential sports machine. The distribution used the same single overhead camshaft driven by bevel-gear as the single-cylinders, while the capacity of 750 cc was obtained with a bore and stroke of 76 x 75 mm. The prototype was built
rapidly. The result: a very personal sort of motorbike in which the engine played the central role, even stylistically.
The final bike was very similar to the prototype. The GT 750 appeared in June 1971. Its frame was more proportionate than that of the prototype, while the carburetors were 30 mm Amal Concentrics. It was also fitted with a front Lockheed disk brake. Its very name, Gran Turismo, immediately revealed that it was no sports bike, but the potential of this twin was immediately apparent to its enthusiasts.

- Windows 7
- Tableau 9 Desktop
- PostgreSQL 9.4.1
You can download the database used in this post from here: Database SQL (1 download ) .
Let's create our first report!
Connecting to PostgreSQL
1) Launch Tableau. Click 'More Servers …' and select PostgreSQL from the menu as illustrated in the following screenshot:
2) Fill in the PostgreSQL connection properties and hit OK. If you don't already have the required connection libraries installed, you will get an error as seen in following screenshot.
3) The (rather helpful) error dialog provides a link to download the libraries, click on it (requires working internet connection). This should take you to the driver's section on Tableau's official website. Locate PostgreSQL and download the corresponding setup file. See following screenshot for reference:
4) Run the downloaded file (may require administrator privileges). This will setup ODBC drivers and all system configurations required for PostgreSQL connectivity. Once you have completed setup, run Tableau Desktop again and connect to the PostgreSQL database you downloaded before the 1st step.
Creating a simple report
1) Once connected, you'll find yourself on the Data Source tab. It lists the server, database and the tables as shown in the screen below.
2) You can drag and drop the tables you want to use. Alternatively, you can write a custom SQL for the required dataset. For the purpose of this blog, I have dragged and dropped 'sales' table. You can take a peek at a preview of the dataset in the result section of the window. Please note that you may have to c

DaVita sees taking $250M reserve for Vanier litigation
In a regulatory filing yesterday related to a bond offering, DaVita noted it has received subpoenas or other requests for documents from the federal government in connection with the Vainer private civil suit, the Swoben private civil suit, the 2011 U.S. Attorney Medicaid investigation, the 2015 U.S. Attorney Transportation Investigation and the JSA investigation. In each of the Vainer and Swoben private civil suits, a relator filed a complaint against the company in federal court under the qui tam provisions of the False Claims Act and pursued the claims independently after the government declined to intervene. With regard to the Vanier private civil suit, the parties are engaged in active litigation. The parties in that suit completed discovery in early 2014; however, in August 2014, the court granted relators' motion for sanctions and reopened discovery on a limited basis. The court in Vainer is considering the plaintiffs' request for further sanctions, which could result in a range of outcomes from no other sanctions to plaintiffs' request to strike our answer. Certain of these sanctions could materially adversely impact the company's ability to defend the case, DaVita said. "While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this case, if the case is resolved in favor of the plaintiffs, its resolution could have a material adverse effect on our earnings and cash flows. We recently commenced settlement discussions with the plaintiffs in Vainer." The company said it expects to accrue an estimated loss contingency reserve of $250M related to this matter. "Negotiations are ongoing and we can make no assurances as to whether the Vainer suit will settle and, if it does settle, whether it will settle for an amount higher than the current reserve," DaVita added. With regard to the Swoben private civil suit, in July 2013, the court granted HCP's motion and dismissed with prejudice all of the claims in the Third Amended Complaint, and in October 2013 the plaintiff filed an appeal of the dismissal, which is currently pending.

Library construction remains sustainable
September 30, 2009 5:50 PM
During construction the J. Paul Leonard Library is a loud and messy eyesore. But upon completion, it will be and environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient space with more student study areas and a high-tech book retrieval system. » |
COMMENTS Aaron Goodman said October 3, 2009 11:43 PM
What happened to the large grove of tree's removed, which provided natural shade, and habitat areas on the prior south side along holloway? Why only drought resistant, low maintenance plants are noted? Does the university want to eliminate labor intensive jobs? And the water use bullshit noted is ridiculous, as it takes just as much water to re-plant or re-instigate a new plant or tree. And actually consumes a lot of water to re-introduce new plantings. A new library for students is great, be honest with the effects. POST A COMMENT

In situ transmission electron microscopy was used to study, in real time, the sub-surface deformation taking place in Cu-Be alloy during nanoindentation. A twinned region of the material was indented with a sharp tungsten tip in a specially developed transmission electron microscopy (TEM) holder. A flexible hinge-based force sensor was used to measure the force on the indenter, and the force-displacement curve for the tip was obtained by tracking the tip in the sequential images of a TEM video of the indentation process. Step-like structures similar to 50 nm in size resulting from the tip surface roughness were observed to generate clusters of dislocations in the sample when they come in contact with the softer Cu-Be. With this setup, the forces and the mean pressure associated with such an individual deformation event in a nanostructured TEM sample were measured.

Series Description The Ark II TV show was a 30 minute Sci-Fi series on CBS' Saturday morning lineup that took place on a 25th century Earth that had been severely damaged by pollution and nuclear war. Three scientists and a super smart chimpanzee used their futuristic rover that was equipped with a scientific laboratory to help people who had managed to survive. Ark II CastTerry Lester .............. Jonah (Captain/Driver of Ark II)Jean Marie Hon ............ Ruth (Scientist) Jose Flores ............... Samuel (Scientist) Lou Scheimer .............. Adam the Chimp (Voice) Ark II Opening NarrativeFor millions of years the Earth was fertile and rich. Then pollution and waste began to take their toll. Civilization fell into ruin. This is the world of the 25th Century. Only a handful of scientists remain. Men, who have vowed to rebuild what has been destroyed... This is their achievement: Ark II, a mobile storehouse of scientific knowledge, manned by a highly-trained crew of young people. Their mission: to bring the hope of a new future to mankind!Ark II Trivia Helen Hunt, movie actress and star of the TV series, "Mad About You" guest-starred on episode #5, "Omega". Ark II was a land rover that operated off of hydrogen. You just filled up the tank with water and Ark II separated the hydrogen and oxygen to get its required fuel! Ark II was built by the "Brubaker Group" on a dump truck chassis and ended out the length of an 18-wheeler. It may have looked fine but it was an operational nightmare! The location of its windows created huge "blind spots" for the driver and it broke down constantly, delaying shooting of the series! Those problems also prevented Ark II from having any night scenes as the visibility of the rover was just too lousy in the dark. Besides having a laboratory onboard, Ark II also contained a jet pack called the "Jet Jumper". It was used when a fast look at the surrounding area was necessary. Ark II also had a forcefield that could both protect the crew from attackers and, more often, keep others away when the Ark was left unattended. Each Ark II episode was filmed in only two or three days! There was another vehicle called the "Ark Roamer" that was smaller (built on a Volkswagen van chassis) than Ark II. It was used for secondary missions. Surprisingly, it had very few operational problems but it had an extremely limited range. Ark II was filmed at Malibu Creek State Park in Calabasas, California. The crew of Ark II were pacifists in a cruel world. If they absolutely had to disable some bad guys, they used a device that blinded and somewhat stunned them. Jim Backus appeared on episode #7, "The Cryogenic Man". Jim is probably best known for his role as billionaire castaway "Thurston Howell" on the series, "Gilligans Island" and for providing the voice of the cartoon character, "Mr. Magoo" but Jim actually had an extremely long and varied career. He was one of the few actors who had numerous roles on the radio, on Broadway, in movies, on television, and providing voices for cartoon characters!

This relationship has now been successfully modelled for the first time, revealing its sensitivity to climate change.
Ningning Zhang and colleagues from Nagoya University, Japan, have predicted that the larch trees will not be able to survive even the most optimistic climate change scenario of a 4 °C increase in summer temperature in Siberia by the year 2100.
"We found that the larch-dominated boreal forest–permafrost coupled system in Siberia would be threatened by future warming of 2 °C or more," Zhang told environmentalresearchweb. "However, our simulations also show that, even with 4 °C warming, some tree species can still survive, but with considerable loss of biomass."
To perform their calculations, the researchers had to develop a new model because previous models had not succeeded in simulating forest–permafrost coupling. They came up with a dynamical vegetation model that includes coupling with the permafrost hydrological process. The model considers the dynamics of boreal forest on a species level, taking into account 44 tree species. It also includes the vegetation process coupled with seasonally varying hydrological processes of permafrost (i.e. melting and freezing).
"This coupling process emphasizes the two-way effect of the permafrost hydrological process and the physiology of vegetation via soil moisture condition and evapotranspiration," said Zhang.
This work was made possible because of 10 years of in situ observational study on the larch boreal forest–permafrost region in Siberia, which provided sufficient data to force, tune and validate the model. The researchers had also previously succeeded in modelling the boreal forest in Siberia using their dynamic vegetation model (FAREAST model) without the forest–permafrost coupled system. "A permafrost model (FSM) has also been developed recently, including soil freezing-thawing processes," said Zhang. "The time was right to integrate these two models and also incorporate the in situ observational data."
The researchers now plan to introduce another typical permafrost hydrological process into the model, which Zhang believes will be even more challenging. "We want to include alas in the model," said Zhang. "Alas is a steep-sided depression formed by the melting of permafrost, which may contain a lake. Alas is a very complicated process, and it plays an increasingly important role in the forest–permafrost system. Our current model describes a self-recovering balanced system, but once alas is introduced, the balance of the system may be damaged."
The scientists published their work in Environmental Research Letters.

Wild Mushroom Salad
Posted By GKC On September 25, 2011 @ 2:00 am In Member Only,Rosh Hashana,Weekly Recipes | No Comments
Serves 4
This salad is for mushroom lovers. I usually make it with chanterelle mushrooms but any combination of wild mushrooms will work as long as they are mostly the more delicate types like shitake. Baby bellas work but do not use portabellos, they are too meaty for this salad.
1 pound chanterelles, brushed clean and trimmed (halved or quartered if large)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsely
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 small shallot, thinly sliced
1 small garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh lemon juice
Place mushrooms in a steamer basket and set over a pot filled with 1" gently simmering water (do not allow water to touch mushrooms). Cover and steam mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a baking sheet and let cool slightly.
Meanwhile, whisk oil, parsley, vinegar, Dijon mustard, shallot, and garlic in a medium bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Add mushrooms; toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired.

Militant groups admit abducting Nigerian schoolgirls
A militant Islamist group has claimed for the first time that it was behind the abduction of more than 200 Nigerian students, saying in a video obtained by the AFP news agency that it planned to "sell" the girls.
The students, teenaged girls who were in class for a physics exam, were seized April 14 from their school in Chibok, in northern Nigeria. The mass kidnapping - and the Nigerian government's false claims about a rescue and other missteps in the case -- triggered protests in Nigeria and outrage around the world. Social media activists created the hashtags #BringBackOurGirls and #BringBackOurDaughters to raise awareness and pressure the government in Lagos.
Boko Haram, an al Qaida-style extremist group behind previous student attacks including the killing of 59 schoolboys, was suspected of carrying out the abduction, though confirmation was elusive until Monday's AFP report:
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau vowed to sell hundreds of schoolgirls kidnapped in northern Nigeria three weeks ago, in a new video obtained on Monday by AFP.
"I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah," he said, after reports that some of the 223 girls still missing may have been sold as brides across Nigeria's border with Chad and Cameroon for as little as $12.
Shekau added that the abduction had caused outrage "because we are holding people (as) slaves".
Boko Haram has killed thousands since 2009. The State Department last year designated the group as a foreign terrorist organization and in fiscal year 2012 provided more than $20 million in security assistance to help the Nigerian government's counterterrorism and military efforts.
