Is this the end?
In what might have been his last fight (or not), Manny Pacquiao proved he is still a formidable welterweight by easily outpointing a determined – but befuddled – Timothy Bradley over 12 rounds at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
He's not what he once was – but he's still pretty damn good.
Good enough at this stage that, even at age 37 and coming off left rotator cuff surgery in the wake of his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. last year, this Pacquiao was lauded was the best version Bradley had faced.
Armed with new trainer Teddy Atlas, Bradley simply had no answers for Pacquiao. On this night, there would be no fires being put out by this duo, who found that solving the "Pac-Man" equation was akin to trigonometry in contrast to the basis arithmetic of Brandon Rios. For much of the fight, Bradley tried to set traps for Pacquiao, who was still too quick and fleet of foot for the "Desert Storm," who could never really get a bead on the Filipino star's rhythm.
Pacquiao is no longer the overwhelming physical force he was during his prime, in which he blazed up weight classes with such ease, that rumors of PED usage became a central storyline to his career a few years back. It's been 11 fights, encompassing over six years since he scored a stoppage victory (which came against Miguel Cotto in Nov. of 2009). Against Bradley, this past weekend, it wasn't so much his punching that posed problems but his footwork. Throughout the fight, he was able to dart in and out of range with such nimbleness and speed, that Bradley was oftentimes reduced to swinging at air or being hit with quick punches that he didn't see coming. Pacquiao is still capable of giving some of the most unusual angles this sport has ever seen.
When it was all over, the announced crowd of 14,665 had no doubt who should have their hands raised in victory. And unlike their first encounter in 2012, this trio of judges (Dave Moretti, Burt Clements and Steve Weisfeld) got it right and were in unison with their identical scores at 116-110 for Pacquiao.
The big question after the fight was: Is this really IT for Pacquiao as a professional prizefighter? Well, the general consensus from the insiders is he will indeed return to the ring. Pacquiao, a politician in his spare time in the Philippines (or is he a boxer in his spare time?) has waffled on his retirement promises and, at the post-fight presser, said he was "50/50" on whether he would fight again, citing the concerns of his family, who are pushing for him to call it quits.
So is this really the end? Only one person truly knows and he could change his mind soon after the latest elections in his home country.
But, by chance it is, this would be a great way to go out.
– Yeah, like the overwhelming majority of you, I think Pacquiao won all three fights versus Bradley. But that alone shouldn't diminish Bradley as a fighter. In my opinion, he won about three or four rounds in each fight and had some pretty good moments in there. If you look at the others (Brandon Rios, Chris Algieri, Joshua Clottey) who have failed versus Pacquiao over the past several years, those guys were blanked easily and never troubled Pacquiao in any way.
Take out Pacquiao's name on Bradley's record and he's basically undefeated and his resume is among the best in boxing, having defeated Miguel Vazquez, Junior Witter, Kendall Holt, Edner Cherry, Lamont Peterson, Devon Alexander, Luis Abregu, Ruslan Provodnikov, Jessie Vargas and Juan Manuel Marquez. Yeah, to me, by today's standards, that's good enough to get you into Canastota.
If the one indictment on Bradley is that he couldn't beat Pacquiao (legitimately), well, so be it.
– I'm hearing that, even after the second knockdown in the ninth round, Atlas was still imploring Bradley to stick to their game plan and box Pacquiao. I find this interesting since, at that point, a decision victory for his man was highly unlikely. All three judges had it 87-82 after that round, with three to go. It was at that time Bradley most likely should've abandoned that game plan, which called for a lot of boxing and movement, and just tried to throw the proverbial kitchen sink at Pacquiao.
Now the problem with that is Bradley has never been a heavy-handed sort, having just scored 13 stoppages in 36 fights, and exchanging with Pacquiao would've left Bradley in harm's way. But the strategy to just continue boxing was akin to establishing the running game in football while down three or four touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
It's interesting to note that the punch output for this third chapter of this rivalry was significantly less than the previous two fights. I just wonder if it was a bit of "paralysis by analysis" for Bradley.
– As for Pacquiao, it's clear it's still going to take a really good-to-great fighter to beat him. If he does continue on (and the guess here is he will), while there is always the possibility of a rematch with Floyd Mayweather Jr. (and please, no killing of the messenger here), I'd like to see some fresh, new match-ups. I've said for awhile that aside from Floyd and Manny, it's Kell Brook who might be the world's best welterweight. Honestly, not sure if a Pacquiao-Brook fight is even feasible, so the fight I'd like to see down the line is against WBO junior welterweight titlist Terence Crawford, who is poised to face WBC counterpart Viktor Postol in the summer.
Crawford is a skilled and athletic craftsman, at the peak of his powers, and has shown that he isn't afraid to mix it up. The problem with the Pacquiao-Bradley trilogy was there wasn't much of a demand for it and, no matter how they sold it, it was a non-rubbermatch going in. There was a sense of "Been-there, done-that."
– While Pacquiao headlined, in many respects, youth was served for Top Rank Promotions with the big victories on the pay-per-view card posted by new WBO super middleweight titlist Gilberto Ramirez and Oscar Valdez. It seems, during the lead-up to this event, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum clearly had an eye on the future with the possibility of Pacquiao riding off into the sunset and not being the economic force he once was (word is the pay-per-view buys will not reach a half-million, which is problematic when someone is guaranteed $20 million off the top).
After Jose Ramirez grinded out a workmanlike 10-round verdict over the game Manny Perez, Valdez shined brightly in stopping former featherweight beltholder Evgeny Gradovich in four rounds. Yeah, this was perfect matchmaking by the Top Rank staff but it's still up to the fighter to capitalize and execute in the ring. And Valdez did just that in boxing well early, employing smart movement, throwing striking combinations and then running the "Mexican Russian" into a booming left hook. If Valdez was a stock, he'd be blue-chip and, with Vasyl Lomachenko moving up to 130 very soon, he could be in line for a WBO title shot very soon.
As for "Zurdo" Ramirez, he turned what many believe was a toss-up fight against Arthur Abraham into a one-sided rout by employing a disciplined game plan in which he controlled distance using his superior reach, kept Abraham turning for much of the night and understanding that the defending WBO super middleweight titlist could only punch after coming out of his turtle shell defense. If he moved off the center point after punching, Abraham would have problems finding him, which he did for much of the fight as he failed to really build any real momentum.
The tall and rangy southpaw is a statuesque fighter, one with a certain look that oozes "promotability," and Top Rank believes it has its next matinee idol on its hands.
– Anthony Joshua blew away Charles Martin in two rounds to capture the IBF heavyweight title in just his 16th professional outing. And while he now has a major belt around his waist, it says here that he'll still be treated and protected like a prized prospect by Eddie Hearn for the time being. While many thought this was a bit of a risk, there was no way Hearn was going to pull the trigger on this fight unless he absolutely believed his man was going to win. Joshua is simply too important not only to Matchroom Boxing but to the business of boxing in the UK overall.
They now have a cash cow on their hands and they will milk this for all it's worth.
As for Martin, well, you could argue he had one of the most ignominious heavyweight title reigns in the history of the sport but he certainly got a lot out of it. Because of that IBF belt, he was able to make millions before heading back into obscurity. Hey, those belts are important.
OK, so Arum was telling the press on Friday afternoon that a fight between Pacquiao and Saul Alvarez would be huge. No argument but given that one guy is really a middleweight and Pacquiao is really a junior welterweight, at what weight would this be?…Egidjius Kavaliauskas got some much needed rounds in on Saturday…Oleksandr Gvozdyk scored a highlight reel KO of Nadjib Mohammedi…So the end is near for Kobe Bean Bryant. What a career. My favorite Kobe moment is not his 81-point game – believe it or not. It's Game Four of the 2000 NBA Finals versus the Pacers. With Shaq fouling out, Bryant absolutely carried the Lakers in overtime. He was brilliant and, in my view, really came of age, that day, as a superstar…It is now officially fight week. The countdown begins for Jesus Soto-Karass vs. Yoshihiro Kamegai this Friday night at the Belasco Theater…I can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com and I tweet (a lot) at twitter.com/steveucnlive. I also share photos of stuff at instagram.com/steveucnlive and can also be found at tsu.co/steveucnlive.

We took the Express because it is faster than the other option - a vehicle-carrying ferry. The ride took an hour. Once in Victoria, we took two tours on the London-style red double-decker sight seeing buses. One tour, the Grand City Tour, took in Victoria's finest neighborhoods. The other included Butchart Gardens.

1. More than 95% of the bailout money went right back to the banks, thereby benefitting precisely the people who designed the so-called bailout programs. During the first years of the programs, their architects consistently responded to criticism by insisting that if Greece didn't receive the bailout funds it wouldn't be able to pay wages and pensions. The revelation that the amount returned to the banks reached 95% is an overwhelming affirmation of the view that the program was not, in fact, "an unprecedented support mechanism" (as George Papandreou described it in Kastelorizo) but rather a massive attempt to collectively deceive a people and compel us to accept money that we would simply have to return in full from out of our other pocket. Now, though, we have Dijsselbloem's admission that "we used taxpayers' money to bail out the banks"; the IMF's acknowledgement of an erroneous fiscal multiplier, studies which reveal how Germany has profited from the crisis—all small pieces of a puzzle that together cast doubt on the popular image of lazy beneficiaries. These kinds of things were indeed said, both by people who knew what they were talking about and by people who didn't, but did not enter into the mainstream of the public discourse. Now, however, they have.
2. The coverage was misleading. How could there have been such a mismatch between reality and the public discourse? Yannis Pretenteris wasn't just my favorite journalist; he was also a central voice at the heart of bailout coverage. He was one person who claimed that they knew the debt wasn't viable, even though they would never say it (he relates all this at length in his recent book); to the contrary, they said that it was the only solution if Greece were ever to return to normalcy. Now, however, we know what happened. We know from the conversations made public every time a journalistic interaction went awry that, through political interventions, owners of the major media outlets received thalassodaneia ("sea loans" issued with very loose terms) and contracts for major public works, all so they could distort reality and blame the rest of the world. Journalism became the act of concealing that which the public should not know—as was the case with Maria Spyraki, who was rewarded for her blatant violation of every journalistic ethic by being made a spokeswoman for New Democracy. But even if we really knew all this from the start, now we have concrete evidence in the form of statements that emerged from George Papandreou, and later Alexis Tsipras', conflicts with media mogul Stavros Psycharis.
3. The bailout policies have been successful and effective. This is a point that requires clarification. If we are talking about the stated objectives of the program they have of course been unsuccessful, seeing as public debt hasn't been tamed nor does it appear that it will be even in the distant future (see Mark Blyth's contribution to this feature). But if we are talking about the program's unspoken objectives, namely the consolidation of austerity as the only available path, it has been a success. Privatization is being championed by two parties now squabbling merely because one is hugely eager for it and the other is less so, with the same going for the dissolution of the labor market and of workers' rights. There are two bases to the apathy of Greek society when it comes to monitoring their dissolution. If we judge the bailout programs on the basis of their stated goals, they have proven unsuccessful. If we judge them by the objectives that we attribute to them, they have been entirely successful. This has all been a war on the weak, waged with exemplary efficiency.
4. A vote for Golden Dawn is not a legitimate vote of protest. I personally never subscribed to this delusion. So widespread was the downplaying of the phenomenon that few people ever thought the party would retain its votes even after the murder of hip-hop artist Pavlos Fyssas. We underestimated two things: the first was the bloodthirsty sentiment of a large number of our fellow citizens; the second was the ease with which our bourgeoisie would deliver us to Neo-Nazis if only to prevent a swing to the Left.
5. "We'll see what happens starting in September". Nothing happened. I remember how the so-called liberals over at Kathimerini used to tease us because we believed that, sooner or later, the people would react, because "it's impossible for this to go on." It turned out that it is possible, is exceedingly possible, for these things and others like them to go on and on. The lack of a compelling alternative proved entirely corrosive for any change that was proposed, with the result that the degree to which the world is able to tolerate injustice and deprivation turned out to be unexpectedly large. Now we know that there exists no limit of injustice, misconduct or circumvention of rights that, once exceeded, guarantees political uprising. That kind of thing takes both a ready compelling retort and courage, which never existed here. The two consecutive citizen movements were the formation of the Aganaktismenoi (Greece's Indignados) and the rise of Syriza. In retrospect, though, they amounted very little.
6. Sweet is the draught of power. This is the point where I really lost it. I never imagined that Euclid Tsakalotos and Thodoris Dritsas could ever sign the kinds of things that they sign. Those with a closer relationship to Syriza might have seen it more clearly. I might have predicted that the plan for negotiations wouldn't succeed, but I couldn't have imagined that the same people could reconcile themselves to the idea that all you have to do is say that before you were delusional, but now it's passed, so now it's fine to say the very thing that they had been saying for so many years and which you'd cursed them for. So it turned out that hunger for power was also present in those who had spent years in minor parties, or entirely outside of politics. A man's soul is a mysterious thing.
7. No one can actually discuss economic matters. One of the barriers to analysis was the sheer technical complexity of the issue, which left an immense field wide open to the influence of propaganda. When respectable interlocutors on both sides claimed that leaving the euro will lead to either 18 months of hardship or a total disaster, it became clear that this was not an actual debate. The question of leaving the euro turned out to be the most critical one of this whole stretch, but it was never really possible to discuss it. That's why ThePressProject was founded: as an attempt to bring to Greece a dialogue that existed between distinguished economists, but which never entered into our own national debate. ThePressProject is still here, but that conversation never took place. There were two economists who were able to speak competently about the subject and who did influence the public debate: Yanis Varoufakis and Kostas Lapavitsas (nearly all of their colleagues were, of course, capable of discussing the matter, but none affected the public conversation in the same way). Varoufakis supported an ultimately fatal dead-end strategy. Lapavitsas, on the other hand, proved unable to stay the enormous stream of hysteria in the currency debate and, at the critical moment, in the wake of the referendum, his party appeared fearful. The result was that the public debate about the euro played out on the opponent's court and rendered us scared and timid. When the anti-bailout Left determined that rupture from the Eurozone would be a precondition for any conversation about austerity (something which the political parties DiEM25, Course of Freedom, and Popular Unity now all share in acknowledging), the issue was decided; its destruction complete. Everything else is a matter of academic debate.
8. Strike while the iron's hot. At this moment there remain small leftist parties led by politicians who didn't follow Syriza in capitulation to austerity. Their positions strongly evoke Syriza's back in 2015, the difference being that now they are all convinced that rupture from the Eurozone is a precondition for any critique of the bailout programs. The bad thing is that they missed the historic opportunity they had back when the world was actually interested in these views.
9. In the end, the creditors never backed down. It sounds silly to say so now, but Syriza's negotiating strategy was premised on the belief that there was no way that the creditors wouldn't back down. Some thought from the outset that this was an ill-chosen approach, while others confessed once the party was over that they had been delusional and so on. But the lesson we should take away is that it is inconceivable that there should have been no exit strategy in place, in case of the failure of the original plan. The paradigmatic moment was Paul Krugman's inability to believe it possible that the Greek government did not actually possess its notorious Plan B. In other words, why would they allow you to win the negotiations if you don't actually have an exit plan? This is old news, but the takeaway is that the optimism was both unfounded and fatal.
What, then, would have needed in order to sketch out a plan that was not completely doomed? A detailed plan articulated with the outspokenness that gives strength to the desperate, without the scaredy-cat politicking. We lacked both answers and courage.
All of this brings us back to the question of exactly what it means to be a member of the Left. Let me propose an idea: a member of the Left is someone who believes that the world can, with effort, risk, and struggle, actually change. When someone wants to change the world but fears the closure of the banks, he is simply ridiculous—a member of neither the Left nor the Right.
The notion that a political exit was possible and that it did not require rupture was a lullaby when what we needed was a battle cry. Again, with the privilege of hindsight, we can safely say one thing: unfortunately, the whole current of objection to the bailout programs, as articulated primarily by the Aganaktismenoi, was wiped out when we bet on a lame horse called Syriza. It was convenient for Syriza, and especially for our creditors, to claim that a solution could be reached without conflict. The result of the referendum showed that, under certain conditions, the people would indeed have been willing to fight.
Now we know that the next time a mainstream journalist says "what you're asking is risky" the response needs to be "to battle!" and not some statement of compliance made to avoid worrying the world, the voters, the markets, and whoever else. Only right now there doesn't seem to be a next time, only a landscape so deserted, and tacitly compliant, that it sends shivers down the spine.

The Tattersalls December Mare Sale got off to a strong start with international buyers the feature of the opening day. Three mares from Prince Khalid Abdulah's Juddmonte Farms led the way during a session that saw 215 lots realise 12,310,200 guineas at an average of 57,257 guineas and a median of 30,000 guineas.
Leading the way was AURORA GOLD, the FRANKEL half-sister to the Champion mare MIDDAY who was knocked down to Bertrand le Metayer for 550,000 guineas. The four-year-old Juddmonte Farms consigned mare, offered in foal to KINGMAN, caught the attention of Blackstone Farm's Christian Black, Rabbah Bloodstock's Jono Mills and Barronstown Stud's David Nagle but none could match Le Metayer.
"She is for a new French breeder," said Le Metayer, "who wanted to get involved in this family.
"The mare is scopey and in-foal to Kingman – with him, and Kingmambo as her broodmare sire, it should offer some size to this foal.
"The hope is the page will get even darker – we counted eight fillies under the first dam which will only make this page grow."
AURORA GOLD's other siblings include the Group 3 Nell Gwyn winner HOT SNAP, the Group 2 Ribblesdale Stakes winner SUN MAIDEN and the Listed winner MIDSUMMER SUN, whilst MIDDAY is also the dam of the Group & Listed winners MIDTERM and MORI.
Two lots earlier Michael Youngs went to 425,000 guineas to secure the Listed placed mare ARGUMENTATIVE on behalf of Jane Lyon's Summer Wind Farm. The daughter of OBSERVATORY is already the dam of Group 1 Criterium de Saint-Cloud winner EPICURIS and was offered in foal to sire-sensation FRANKEL.
"Jane bred Mozu Ascot, Frankel's Group 1 winner in Japan, so she is delighted to have a mare back in-foal to him," said Youngs. "The mare will be going to the US, and there is enough in the pedigree to transfer to stateside."
Youngs secured ARGUMENTATIVE at the expense of underbidder Stephen Hillen.
The third of the triumvirate of high-profile Juddmonte consigned mares was the DANSILI three-year-old FINE TIME who was also offered in foal to KINGMAN. The daughter of the SADLER'S WELLS mare CLEPSYDRA is a sister to the Group 1 winners TIMEPIECE and PASSAGE OF TIME and was knocked down to Stroud Coleman's Matt Coleman for 420,000 guineas on behalf of Noel O'Callaghan's Mountarmstrong Stud.
"It is a phenomenal pedigree," said Coleman, adding, "it is one of the best in the book. She is also in-foal to Kingman, who has had a great start."
Coleman secured the filly, who is also a sibling to Group 3 winner FATHER TIME and Listed winner CONTINUUM, after staving off the efforts of Camas Park Stud's Timmy Hyde and Rabbah Bloodstock's Jono Mills.
Late in the evening Camas Park Stud's Timmy Hyde Snr secured the ten-year-old mare BRISTOL BAY for 400,000 guineas after a prolonged bidding battle with owner-breeder Stuart Stuckey. The daughter of MONTJEU, who was consigned from Ballylinch Stud, is the dam of the Listed winning, Group-placed four-year-old BAY OF POETS and was offered in foal to LOPE DE VEGA.
"She is a lovely mare and very well covered," said Hyde. "We'll know if we have made the right decision here tonight when we get the foal!
"She is coming back to Camas Park and we will make some plans then."
BRISTOL BAY was bred by Gestut Ammerland and is from a pedigree long developed by the farm which includes the Champion filly BORGIA and the Group 1 Coronation Cup winner BOREAL.
Paul Hensey, representing Chinese operation Rifa Mustang, secured Group 2 Park Hill Stakes winner THE MINIVER ROSE. The twelve-year-old mare, who was offered in foal to DUBAWI, was consigned by Godolphin and knocked down to Hensey for 300,000 guineas.
"She is a Group 2 winner and has plenty going on in the family," said Hensey. "She has a filly by Dubawi with John Gosden as well as with James Tate. There is a lot to run for her, and ongoing plans will be open-ended."
THE MINIVER ROSE is a half-sister to BELLE DE CRECY, winner of the Group 2 Blandford Stakes and placed in the Group 1 British Champion Fillies/Mare Stakes.

At age 18, London based singer-songwriter Emma McGrath has already been writing songs for six years. It's almost hard to believe that at the tender age of 14 she self-released her first EP The Judgement. It's an incredibly well-rounded record in terms of songwriting and production but its McGrath's wonderful tone and melody that leaves your jaw fully accessible to flies, as if you've just seen a UFO.
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't long before the airwaves got hold of her, thanks to 2015 single "Sit With Me". Championed by BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 2, this game-changing kind of exposure lead to her wrapping up 2015 by being awarded the PRS Foundation's Lynsey de Paul prize. Subsequently, while working with various writers and industry wigs to hone her sound, the foundation gave her a Women Make Music grant for which McGrath is using to record her first mini album: Silent Minds.
Her latest release "Love You Better" has had a helping hand from Grammy award winner Jimmy Hogarth, whose writing credentials include Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Corinne Bailey Rae to name a few. Emotion and atmosphere keep the track on point, as a beautiful finger-picking riff sits comfortably among the synth and modern pop production. It's the first track to be taken from Silent Minds, set for release on 13th April 2018.
Known for playing highly intimate sets, some wonderfully stripped back versions of her songs can be found on YouTube; including sessions for BBC Introducing and Balcony TV. Ahead of Silent Mind's release, she'll be touring the country throughout February. Having begun her musical journey at a young age she has excelled in impressing all the right people to be given such exciting opportunities, and you get a real sense that everything before has led to this release and tour; so worry not whether she'll make it or not. She's got this.

Podcard: Greetings from Sin City
This podcast is meant to be a "digital postcard", i.e. instead of a conventional postcard I used a picture I had taken in Las Vegas and added an audio track. Hence, the term 'podcard' is a compound word consisting of 'podcast' and 'postcard'. To increase the learning effect when using podcasts as listening comprehension exercises in class, teachers may use a worksheet with tasks and questions facilitating the students' auding skills. For instance, one could implement the following exercises:
- Are these statements true or false? If false, correct the statements.
a. Paul is in Paris right now.
b. He is gambling a lot.
c. He needs to make money to pay his dues.
d. The hotel is famous for its rollercoaster.
e. The tower is twice as high as the original one.
- Listen to the podcard once more and fill in the blanks.
Hi there!
Greetings from Paris, France. The _____________ could be better, the ___________, ______________, and baguette are good , though.
No, I'm kidding. I'm having a ________________ in Vegas with lots of _________________ and great shows. Wish me luck because I gotta make
some ________________ to pay my hotel room in the _________________________ that you can see on the picture. The tower is almost as high as
the original _______________________. I can highly recommend the ___________________________________.

text: Geometrical knowledge is an expert system startup that promises to beat the deep understanding systems at internet titans such as facebook as well as Google. The New York-based start-up company has all blotching of a business construct just for this sort of large procurement. The business has actually declared one license, Marcus stated 'there is dilemma in a domain of language in driverless cars where you will not have enough information to make use of strength the way that deep learning does'. Based on Marcus the business's innovation is still in research segment, but declares it can already find out definite jobs using partially as much data as deep understanding. This move by Uber signals a tipped up attempt in AI assisting research initiatives to bring self-driving car technology right into a mainstream and to develop the base of flight sharing giant's own research study. Managing director of future labs Steven Kuyan claimed' therefore procurement of geometrical knowledge is a double validation of AI startup community'. Uber doing a great deal with machine learning now via its research study team but they are focused on addressing problems associated with self-directed driving. The novel center group will be showing up at applications for AI widely with the primary focus on vital research that makes the effect on unrealized individuals which includes numerous things such as course administration. The funding team of Geometric knowledge consists of Gary Marcus who is well known NYU scientist, Prof Zoubin Ghahramani, Prof Kenneth Stanley and Douglas Bemis with a competence team. Jeff Holden, uber-chief police officer commented in a blog post that regardless of which element of firm's company there is a typical challenge originating in 'bargaining the original world and that represents a really high order knowledge trouble'.

UNT lab identifies another victim of bizarre killer John Wayne Gacy
For the second time in six years, officials at the UNT Center for Human Identification have helped identify a victim of serial killer John Wayne Gacy.
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart announced Wednesday 16-year-old Jimmy Haakenson of Minnesota was among the dozens of bodies found in a crawl space of Gacy's Chicago-area home in 1978.
The remains were only recently identified thanks to the UNT Center for Human Identification. UNT officials have been assisting the Cook County Sheriff's Office since 2011 with the Gacy case.
"Back then, our lab developed DNA profiles from eight unidentified Gacy victims," UNT spokesman Jeff Carlton said in a Thursday email. "These DNA profiles have been continuously compared to family references of missing persons."
In 2011, the UNT lab positively identified William Bundy, a 19-year-old construction worker from Chicago whose remains were found at Gacy's home.
The second one came this week with Haakenson, a teen who ran away from his Minnesota home in 1976 and traveled to Chicago.
"We are honored to aid families in finding a resolution in the disappearance of their loved ones," Carlton said.
Haakenson called his mother to say he was in Chicago and then disappeared. Detectives believe he then met Gacy.
Gacy was convicted of killing 33 young men and was executed in 1994. But authorities had eight victims whom they hadn't been able to identify.
In 2011, Dart ordered the remains of the eight victims exhumed and asked families of young men who went missing in the 1970s to provide DNA samples.
"One of the worst people in the world that walked the earth murdered my brother," Haakenson's sister, Lorie Sisterman, who lives in North St. Paul, said Wednesday. "You hope for something different," she said, but added, "I'm so glad to know where my brother is."
Gacy is remembered as one of history's most bizarre killers, largely because of his work as an amateur clown. The Chicago-area building contractor lured young men to his home by impersonating a police officer or promising them construction work. There, he stabbed one and strangled the others. Most of the victims were buried under his home, but others were dumped in a river.
Illinois investigators long referred to Haakenson as simply "Victim #24."
Haakenson came to Chicago hoping to strike out on his own in a city far bigger than the community of St. Paul, where he lived, Dart said. According to Sisterman, the teenager had finally made good on his angry vows to his mother that he was going to run away.
He was a boy, said Sisterman, who kept "trying to find himself."
After bodies were found in Gacy's home, Haakenson's mother was suspicious enough that her son was among the victims that she came to Chicago to talk to investigators. But she left without any answers because there was no way to identify the skeletal remains without dental records, Dart said. The mother died a couple of decades later.
Dart said a nephew of Haakenson became curious about the uncle he never knew and earlier this year went online to see if he could learn anything. That's when he discovered Dart's efforts to identify the remains of the eight young men.
Dart said the nephew went to his father, Haakenson's brother, and his aunt, Lorie Sisterman, and persuaded them to submit the samples for testing.
"We got an immediate hit," Dart said.
Authorities believe the teen was killed in August 1976, in part because of where he was found in Gacy's house. Because Gacy was killing so many young men, his crawl space was filling up, forcing him to stack the bodies. Haakenson's body was directly underneath that of Rick Johnston, who was last seen at a concert in Chicago on Aug. 6, 1976, and was on top of a still unidentified young man known as "Victim #26."

Both experienced beginners and advanced crypto-traders need to know the following basic crypto trading rules:
Avoid the greed
The greed is the biggest enemy of trading. Choosing a methodology, testing, review, consistency and compliance are the main tools of a trader who does not want to fall prey to greed. It's never worthwhile to expect a larger increase or vice versa, a fall in price. If price prognosis is not convincing, it is better to think and stop before you make a mistake. In other words, you can enter the market by relying on real conditions, without waiting for the option that you think would be ideal for you.
Have patience
Many traders get into transactions earlier because they are fearful and anticipate that the input signal might trigger. Do you think if you come in sooner, will you get a higher profit? Wrong! For a reasonable profit, you have to wait until your input signal is initiated. The point is that patience can guarantee your profit. This is true both for maintaining open positions and for waiting for more convincing signals to enter the market. At first glance it's a simple sentence, but if you apply it, you'll know how to avoid impulse trading on the crypto market.
Keep your eyes on the "cup" volume!
It is very important to monitor the "cup" with the quotation list, as this is the main source of information for successful trading. The volume and capitalization of the crypto market are key factors that reflect the participants' mood. If you already know these features, you can certainly make accurate forecasts of quotations.

Kim Kardashian's Cornbread Hack Is Easy and Oddly Tempting
Want your cornbread to taste even more like dessert? Kim K is here to help.
Kimberly Kardashian West is a lot of things to a lot of people: an unavoidably ubiquitous celebrity, a galaxy-dominating star of screens large and small, an author, model, mogul, mom, mobile game entrepreneur... stop us anytime. But did you know she's also a cornbread wizard? Well, she is. At least according to People, which just anointed her cornbread hack a work of "genius." And look, maybe it is, if you like your cornbread extra-extra sweet.
Most versions of cornbread in no way lack for sweetness, but here's what Kim does, in her heavily Insta- and Snapchat-documented soul food cooking session for daughter North and sister Kylie: She spreads the pan with butter and sugar before pouring in the batter.
Kim didn't reveal her cornbread recipe, but here's one we like if you want to give Kim's advice a shot. Just remember, that one tablespoon of sugar isn't going to be enough if you want Kardashian Kornbread. You'll want to up the amount by a tablespoon (or two? or three? you be the judge) and sprinkle it liberally over the butter in step 1. Let us know how it goes?

All business data and the confidential information entrusted to Flycatcher by clients and by individuals taking part in our surveys, must be treated with care. The ISO standard is an excellent instrument for the management and continuous improvement of data security.
Information security needs continuous attention
More than a year ago, Flycatcher start the preparations for ISO 27001 certification. After a thorough risk analysis and various internal audits, the agency was officially certified on 22 February. "It was an exciting and important process", Pim Keulers, Information Security Officer, explains: "Information security is more important than ever before. It requires continuous attention and does not stop when certification has been obtained. All our staff are aware of the importance of security and apply the principles in their daily work. New developments are also subject to the formulated quality standards."
Fourth ISO certificate
Flycatcher is proud to have obtained the ISO 27001 certificate. The agency now has four ISO certificates. It previously obtained ISO 20252 certification for market research, social research and opinion polls. Assignments carried out by ISO 20252-certified agencies comply with the official quality requirements. ISO 26362 applies to the Flycatcher panel and guarantees clients that our panel-based research is carried out at the highest possible quality level. Lastly, Flycatcher has also met the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard, which is part of the agency's CRS policy.

Health Talk, which provides free information about health issues by sharing people's real-life experiences, is looking to talk to people who have been invited to take part in the Genome 100,000 Project.
The 100,000 Genome project was announced by the Prime Minister in 2012 in a bid to transform diagnosis and treatment for patients with cancer and rare diseases.
The project aims to sequence the genetic codes of people with cancer and rare genetic diseases. Researchers will then be able to compare the data with that of healthy tissue to identify the mutations and potentially develop new treatments.
If you have been approached to take part in the project, including if you have declined, Health Talk would like to hear from you. They are interested in interviewing people about their experiences and/or thoughts about genomic research. If you would be happy to be interviewed and have your comments featured on Healthtalk.org (in video, audio or written only format), please contact Sara Ryan at firstname.lastname@example.com

Raise The Bar
Combine 8 oz. keifer, 4 oz. almond or coconut milk, 1 banana, 1 cup strawberries (frozen or fresh) in blender and blend. Makes about two servings.
Step it up: add any or all of the following: handful of blueberries, handful of frozen or fresh kale or greens, spoonful of ground flax seeds, or nut butter.
The keifer provides an abundance of probiotics, which promotes a healthy digestive tract and gut microbiome while the bananas offer prebiotics, which feed the beneficial bacteria.
Add in a few of the additional ingredients, and you have a well rounded meal or treat full of protein, fiber, and healthy fat that benefits your microbiome with no added sugar!
My favorite variation is to add a spoonful of ground flax seeds, about a cup of frozen organic kale, and a handful or two of blueberries. Kids love it too!

|Does Truth Exist?
|John 18:37-38 (Part of the Miscellaneous series).
|The truth is not ones opinion. Sexual preferences is just that, a preference, it does not make it truth. Another example of truth that doesn't matter where you come from, one plus one equals two. So does truth exist? Who makes truth? Do you? Did your neighbor? Your parents? Truth exist because God created it. People are the ones that excludes others based on their option of truth but, God includes. We must decide if truth exists. You may think that you can live whoever you want and you can, but that does not make it right and the truth. God does not care what you think about the truth because He created truth. Truth is not about you but about Him. Truth is the measure of how everything is judged. In our culture people state that truth does not exist but contradict themselves but declaring is DOES exist. So if God is true and you are living contrary to Him, then you are wrong. So spiritually, will you concede to Him. So, does truth exist? What will you do with truth?
|Preached by Tommy Boring on March 8, 2015 (Sunday Morning).
|In the Protection of Your House
|Haggai 1:1-13 (Part of the Miscellaneous series).
|Mat 6:33 We should set our house in order. God wants to bless but He will not do that if there is sin in the camp. How many want the house of God to grow? How many are willing to look at the faults of ourselves and are willing to seek to mend them? We should be honest about our sins and willing to remove them, clean them. How many of us try to fulfill our flesh each day? We live in a country where we want our ear tickled, pats us on the back, tells us that we are doing ok, a version of the gospel that says we are ok. People live everyday serving themselves. Are you truly surrendering to Gods will? One can't live for two masters. We as America should turn our eyes from the devil and seek God. Each and every person when they die will lose everything in their fleshly grasp. How far down do you have to go before you realize that God is in control? Think about what you are doing. If you are doing things in the church that's great but if you are lacking love and what God is telling you, then it's just for waste. There are many churches in our country that are beautiful but God doesn't care about that. He wants the spiritual bodies of people to be beautifully built by God and a structure that declares God. If you've been saved, you've been employed to do Gods work and you've also been paid in advance. Psalm 37:35 We have a promise that God will always protect us.
|Preached by Tommy Boring on March 4, 2015 (Wednesday).

In 2012, the professionals from MIT as well as the University Pennsylvania are generally indicating otherwise by means of beginning effort on organic and natural robot on the Erath. By using muscle tissues of genetically engineered, it does respond to light. At the cellular level, these are blurring the line between machine as well as animal.
The cornerstone of the MIT team was built genetically muscle tissue from optogenetics process. That is, will involve having light-sensitive elements through other animals such as invertebrates, along with grafting them to mammalian cellular material. Recently, this method has been employed in research, cardiac muscles also to control the actual monkey's brain. But, the scientists are generally developing cellular material which folds within the reply to light.
According to Harry Asada from MIT "The scientists group's design and style effectively blurs the actual boundary involving nature and machine. He also said that with bio inspired styling, the field of biology is really a metaphor, and also robotics may be the tools to produce that happen.
Their particular dreams are generally large and the professionals regard this because the 1st step of their demand is to create organic and natural bot which shift quickly in addition to being gracefully because their organic equivalents.

Toxins act as barriers to the harmonious flow of life-force energy and became the main reason for all types of diseases and problems effecting the body, mind and spirit. Proper digestion, assimilation and elimination are impaired when basic forces inside our body are thrown out of balance by stress, repressed emotions, inappropriate diet, lifestyle, insufficient rest, environmental toxins, climate, seasonal changes etc. This causes accumulation of a toxic substance. And toxins produced over a long period of time can leave the digestive tract weak and blocks the shrotas (microcirculatory channels), disrupts the flow of nutrients to the area as well as the body's natural waste removal systems. According to ayurveda there are three different types of toxins

Louisiana Homeschool Laws
Homeschooling is regulated at the state level and changes may be made to the relevant statutes at any time. Always consult the actual state code (which is usually online at your state's official website) for the most up to date and accurate legal information with regard to homeschooling. Also keep in mind that interpretations of the code—whether provided by school districts or homeschool groups—can be helpful, but may or may not be an accurate reflection of the law. Always combine interpretations with your own reading of the statute itself.

The "Show Me" Letter - Many an uninformed (or informed but overzealous) school administration official has asked local homeschoolers for more documentation than the state homeschool law requires. In The "Show Me" Letter, Shay Seaborne relates her experience with an overzealous official and how knowing the law and being polite but firm is often all it takes to educate local officials. A "must read" for new homeschoolers!

The airport which skidde off the runway (Photo: SaharaReporters)
Hundreds of passengers are currently stranded at Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, on account of a chartered aircraft which broke down on the runway.
The private aircraft broke down at about 2:00pm at the boarding gate.
The development forced airplanes that were due for landing to return to where they departed from and prevented take-off from Abuja.
A boarding gate staff disclosed to a correspondent that no announcement of the development has been made to prevent passengers from protesting, as no solution has been found to move the aircraft off the runway.

Canada is a King of the Hill map set in (you guessed it) snowy Canada! Gameplay is centered around a central capture point, with multiple routes, all leading to the center. Many of the rooves are accessible, and while it is easier for scouts and soldiers, other classes can all take different, but slightly longer routes up to the top.
The gameplay is based on fast action and a constant change in control of the capture point. The capture time has been considerably reduced compared to a normal KotH map, so when you see your point is being capped by a single person, you have 14 seconds to haul ass and get to the cap and defend what is rightfully yours. Similarly, if the enemy has set up camp, one push can get you straight to the cap and turn the game on its head.
