Sycamore Public Library
Although the Sycamore Public Library did not open its doors until 1892, we can trace its roots back to 1875 when a Chautauqua Scientific Circle was formed in Sycamore. Once members had completed the course, they established the Athena Literary Society in order to form a public library. Over the course of three years they raised $700 and asked city council to appropriate money for books and that the mayor appoint a board of directors. On July 12, 1892, the Sycamore Public Library opened in Hoyt and Rogers' Store, second floor, in the backroom. This building now is occupied by Marlyn's Majorettes. The City Council appropriated $800 to purchase books. The Athena Literary Society assisted with funding the library for the first two years. Miss Flora Jeannette Dow, a member of Athena, was the first librarian. In 1902, Andrew Carnegie offered the City of Sycamore $10,000 for the construction of a library, provided an acceptable site could be secured and that the Sycamore City Council would annually appropriate at least 10% of his donation for maintaining the building. Mr. Frederick B. Townsend donated the property where the library stands today. Miss Dow received the honor of placing the first trowel of mortar on the cornerstone on May 24, 1905. Over the next 90 years, several renovation and remodeling projects took place and then on October 14, 1995, a new era of growth began with the groundbreaking ceremony for the library expansion. Today we are looking at ways to serve the community's needs by providing the best possible services and programs available.

North Grove School
North Grove School, 3 miles northwest of Sycamore, was built in 1878 by the Swedish Evangelical Lutheran Church as a parochial and Sunday school. Pupils of diverse ethnic backgrounds learned their lessons in Swedish, even several years after the DeKalb County public school system purchased the school in 1880. The Sycamore unit district acquired the school in 1949, and it continued as a school until 1952, when it was closed. The North Grove community continued to lovingly maintain the building and used it as a neighborhood social center for many years. Classroom in School Upon the closing of North Grove School in 1952, all furnishings were removed. However many furnishings from old Sycamore schools were still in storage in the 1960s when the Natural Resource Center in Genoa began using the site for special education programs. The school was refurbished and re-supplied using these furnishings, with additional period pieces being donated by private citizens. In 1970 North Grove School at 26745 Brickville Road (Map) was listed in the Illinois Directory of Historical Buildings. On May 24, 2012 the United States Department of the Interior placed the school and its outbuildings on the National Register of Historical Places. Today the school is still owned by the Sycamore School District but is leased to and lovingly cared for by the North Grove School Association, whose goal is to preserve this educational icon for future generations.

text: Superintendent of Public Instruction State superintendent gives his proposal for school funding By The Associated Press & KPLU News Staff • Feb 17, 2012 Donna Gordon Blankinship / Associated Press The good news in this week's new Washington state revenue forecast has drawn the attention of everyone who wants some money for their department or program. But in a statement put out by Superintendent of Public Instruction Randy Dorn, Dorn says the state Constitution and the Supreme Court give Washington only one choice: pay for education first. State launches 'jobs for graduates' effort to help dropouts By Charla Bear • Oct 24, 2011 The unemployment rate for teens and young adults in Washington is one of the highest in the nation – and it's especially tough on high school dropouts. That's why state education leaders are trying to ramp up an effort to help students get diplomas and jobs or college placements at the same time. Cash prizes will go to schools that get more kids eating breakfast By Charla Bear • Aug 22, 2011 Charla Bear / KPLU Listen Listening... / More than 300,000 kids who qualify for free or reduced breakfast in Washington are not eating it. Participation in the state's early morning meal program is so low, educators and children's advocates have launched a new effort to get schools focused on the issue. Gregoire makes another push for 'Education Czar' By Austin Jenkins & KPLU News Staff • Mar 3, 2011 Listen Listening... / Governor Chris Gregoire is making another push to create a cabinet-level Department of Education. The idea appears to be faltering in the Washington legislature. Superintendent fumes over Gregoire's education plan By Austin Jenkins • Jan 6, 2011 Washington voters elected him state superintendent of public schools. Now Governor Chris Gregoire wants to takeover his portfolio. Randy Dorn is fuming over the Governor's proposal to create a cabinet-level Department of Education. Schools superintendent moves to delay new graduation requirements By Charla Bear • Nov 30, 2010 Seattle Office for Education This year's high school freshman and sophomores might have fewer graduation tests to dread if Randy Dorn has his way.

As the mayor of the city of Hebron Estates, I would like to ask you to vote for Joe E. Laswell, Third District Magistrate.
I am a lifelong Democrat, and yes, Joe is on the other side of the aisle. However, Joe Laswell has reached across that "political aisle" and worked with me.
He provided me with his phone number, so if I ever have a question or needed his help, I could easily get in touch with him.
I had the pleasure of attending the forum the Bullitt County Chamber of Commerce organized Thursday evening. As a citizen and voter in the county, if I were to rate the event, I would give it 10 Plus stars from the greeting and the escort by the ROTC students to the excellent quality of food provided.
I have attended events sponsored by the Filson Club that do not excel any better the our Chamber.
I am writing a letter to show support for a candidate running for magistrate. Joe Rayhill is the best man for the job.
He is hard working, honest, loyal and an enthusiastic person that will do everything in his power to make sure that the job is done properly.
I have known Joe for several years. He is strong in his Christian beliefs and exhibits family values that are second to none. He will work hard for the families of Bullitt County to ensure that the magistrate duties are completed properly, as well as in a timely fashion.
Recently, Bullitt Countians voted for a Meade Countian candidate and Brandenburg got a four-lane divided highway.
Then we voted for a Shelby County candidate and Shelbyville got a new road to nowhere.
It's time for Bullitt Countians to stand up and be counted. Vote Linda Belcher, a Bullitt Countians for Bullitt County.
Shirley Colvin
Mount Washington
When faced with a decision to make in regards to our mayoral candidates, my vote goes to Faith Portman.
I am looking for someone I can trust and someone I can relate to. Someone who I know has immeasurable integrity and a good heart.
She has worked in our public school system for 24 years, devoted to the education of our community's youth. I honor a person willing to commit themselves to an endeavor, such as educating a community. I've seen her with our students and it tells me so much about who she is.
I commend the voters for recognizing the need to make changes to Fiscal Court and would highly recommend Mike Higgins for Third District magistrate.
Mike would be a great addition to our fiscal court. Mike is someone with a vision for Bullitt County, passionate, caring, interested in improving Bullitt County and moving it forward.
The citizens deserve officials that want to help everyone and do what is best for the whole county. Mike Higgins will be a magistrate that will listen, have an opinion, make a decision and not hold back progress.
I take great pleasure in endorsing John Wooldridge for county attorney in the upcoming election.
John has served with distinction as assistant commonwealth attorney, master commissioner of the Bullitt Circuit Court and commonwealth attorney for Bullitt County.
Former Circuit Judge Athol Lee Taylor and I employed John to work in our law firm. I found John to be a tireless worker with a fine legal mind. I am convinced that if given the opportunity to serve as county attorney, John will make the citizens of Bullitt County proud.
Vote for Joe Rayhill for Fourth District magistrate.
Joe is an honest, motivated and determined life-long resident of the Fourth District.
He will work hard to do the right thing for his hometown.
Joe is extremely easy to talk to and genuinely cares about doing what's right. Joe Rayhill is a faithful man of God, loving man of family and strong man of community who I trust to be my Fourth District magistrate.
He is an encourager, listener and all-around good man ready to serve the community he loves so much.

Critical Review by John Butt
SOURCE: "After Pinochet," in The Times Literary Supplement, No. 4826, September 29, 1995, p. 28.
In the following review of Paula, Butt contends that Allende's "defenceless optimism" and "effusive generosity" are effective in her memoirs but not necessarily in her fiction.
Paula is a confessional autobiography written to relieve anguish during the many hours Isabel Allende spent in hospital waiting-rooms while her daughter (Paula) lay in a coma caused by porphyria. Hispanic writers are usually furtive about private matters, but life in California has converted Allende to the North American passion for letting it all hang out. This sometimes embarrassingly frank book reveals much about the author and the motifs and inspiration of her novels.
Allende's gift for story-telling carries Paula, although apart from the trauma of 1973 (Pinochet's coup) and Paula's tragedy, she has no obvious right to complain that "with a brutal expenditure of energy I have been rowing upstream all my life". Until the odious Pinochet seized power, her existence was, if not charmed, at least interesting and comfortable. It would also have been irreproachably bourgeois, had her father not decamped and her mother taken a lover. This caused much clucking in the salons of Santiago, but "Uncle Ramon" had a successful diplomatic career and became Chilean ambassador to Argentina. Young Isabel was smothered with love. She worshipped her maternal grandparents and her mother, all, like her, great tellers of fantastic tales; she also loved her paternal grandparents, despite their right-wing views. In fact, she seems to have adored and been adored by everyone; if there were exceptions, she does not dwell on them. She was educated in (presumably) expensive foreign schools and lived in Bolivia and Lebanon as the pretty daughter of a well-to-do, lively and cosmopolitan family. There are occasional hints about money worries, but it almost seems that these may have been included for form's sake.
Sex is as prominent in these memoirs as it is in Allende's novels: many things, from relationships to landscapes, are measured against it—a Chilean forest stirs in her "a feeling more intense than any orgasm". But apart from an encounter with a local fisherman when she was eight—he was mysteriously murdered before any damage was done, to her disappointment apparently—she remained an innocent until her marriage to a bien-pensant Anglo-Chilean at the age of nineteen or twenty. She thought the lump in her fiancé's trousers was his motor-cycle keys and was convinced that honeymoon cystitis was syphilis, which is puzzling in view of her claim in March 1989 on BBC Radio 4's Start the Week that she "was never a virgin". The marriage lasted for twenty-five years, sixteen of them blissful, and it produced two fine children. She wrote a regular newspaper column of gossip, fashion tips and horoscopes, became well known in Chile as the writer and presenter of a popular television programme, and translated Mills and Boonish novels. She thus began the fateful year of 1973, as a thirty-one-year-old, with no political ideas beyond a few mild notions about the unfairness of men's treatment of women and a slight hippiness (she painted flowers on her car). She was happy to serve her husband breakfast in bed every day and keep house while he was at his business or the golf course: "we loved each other and were good companions."
And so she might have continued but for General Pinochet. She actually got off remarkably lightly. Despite her clandestine work for victims of his coup, and despite her surname and family ties with her uncle Salvador Allende, about whom the book is uninformative ("Who was he? I don't really know"), she was never arrested, imprisoned, tortured or raped, her family was not harmed and she could afford black-market food. Given her notions about human niceness, she was totally baffled by the appearance of informers and torturers and by the brutality of soldiers "who themselves came from the lower social classes…. For me it was a total surprise to discover that the world is violent and predatory." After receiving a death-threat, she left for Venezuela, where her troubles really began.
The upheaval of exile seems to have sparked a deep need in Allende for romance and sex. Tiring of her saintly husband, she had several affairs and fell in love with a dashing Argentinian. He had the wrong star-sign, so she returned to her (irritatingly) forgiving husband and stayed another nine years. During this time, she temporarily revived his business fortunes with Amerindian magical spells. The money from her first novels enabled her to leave him finally when he was again down on his luck; she does not defend her actions. After several more love affairs, a one-night stand with a twice-divorced and heavily tattooed Californian improbably blossomed into her current blissfully happy marriage. But for a skull on one arm, Allende's husband has had all the tattoos removed, which, apparently, supports her theory about the power of love.
Paula never recovered from her illness. She died in California in late 1992, after months of coma, a harrowing ordeal described here in unforgettable detail.
The personal qualities which make Paula a moving and attractive book—defenceless optimism ("I never, ever imagined that the blow would fall on one of my children"), effusive generosity, an enormous, even disruptive, capacity for love, a rage for fairness, a winsome credulousness and beguiling if wearying self-absorption—are not always effective qualities in Allende's novels. At worst, her fiction is sentimental and escapist. There are too many shadowy ghosts lurking in the wings; too much significant dreaming, fated encountering, horoscopy and clairvoyancy. Love scores too many easy goals; too many sighing heroines find meaning in the arms of left-wing hunks, too many scoundrels have hearts of gold.
But the formula obviously works for millions of readers, and this book suggests that the secret may be the likeable, unaffected, kindly, slightly dotty personality which glows through in Allende's novels. And, her books are, in fact, a real force for good. She, more than anyone else, has brought the attention of readers throughout the world to the evil of right-wing Latin-American dictatorships, particularly the sadism and mediocrity of Pinochet's restoration of "Christian civilization". Faith in the redemptive power of romance, as portrayed in her novels, may not be fashionable or sophisticated, but it is hardly the worst intellectual sin a person can commit.

Missing woman's partner in 'threat'.
THE boyfriend of missing woman Fiona Pender is being investigated by gardai after allegedly sending a threatening letter to a property firm, it was claimed yesterday.
Gardai in Co Offaly are believed to be preparing a file for the Director of Public Prosecutions on the issue.
The Sunday Tribune reported a complaint was made that John Thompson claimed he was a dangerous man who had committed crimes in the past.
He allegedly sent the letter to a Dublin firm last year after a dispute arose over property Thompson was to purchase.
He allegedly wrote that if the company wanted to learn more about his past then they should contact gardai in Tullamore.
The company handed the letter to the Garda.
The investigation into Fiona Pender's disappearance in August 1996 is still open.
Thompson was questioned in connection with her disappearance but was never charged with any crime.
Fiona Pender, then 25, a part-time model and hairdresser, was seven months pregnant with Thompson's child when she disappeared from her home in Tullamore, Co Offaly, in August 1996.
Her body has never been found but gardai believe she was murdered.
A cross bearing her name was found in a picnic area near the Slieve Bloom Mountains in Co Laois earlier this month.
Nothing has been uncovered by a dig at the site.

I hadn't really given it much thought before this thread, but that really may be the case (IMHO of course). TCP_wrappers functions that are not really useful now: - connection logging; this came when executed directly (e.g. from old inetd), but I don't think anything uses that now (xinetd, NFS, OpenSSH, etc. use their own logging instead of tcp_wrappers'); now that I look, I see rpcbind has a "-l" option that looks like it uses libwrap's logging (option is not on by default) - basic allow/deny access control on a per-host and per-service basis; this can also be done with iptables for most services (and iptables is better, since that keeps any system daemon from even seeing a connection => lower load, less possible vulnerability, etc.) - IDENT lookup (I don't believe anything uses this now) There are some things that you can still do with TCP_wrappers that you can't easily do in other ways: - control access to RPC services that live on essentially random ports - do DNS-based access control (which can seem useful but is often a bad idea) - easier to manage "dynamic" access control such as done with denyhosts The annoying thing about even considering deprecating TCP_wrappers is that for most (if not all) current use, it is a build-time decision. If you build e.g. OpenSSH without -lwrap, there is no way to add that functionality back. Somebody could teach denyhosts about iptables instead of /etc/hosts.deny (shouldn't be too hard to manage with a couple of new scripts). That brings me back to RPC services though, which means NFS (which started all of this). Some of the NFS component services have fixed ports now (even though they still register with portmapper), such as nfsd (2049) and rquotad (875), but I believe that mountd, lockd, and statd all run on portmapper-assigned random ports. The only way to control access to them is currently TCP_wrappers. Ideally, there'd be an iptables module or something that could track RPC assigments and limit access, but that isn't a simple thing. Alternately, you could have the portmapper have a callout to a script that could modify iptables settings. -- Chris Adams <cmadams hiwaay net> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

I am fun and sometimes charming despite being...
I am fun and sometimes charming despite being a little shy. I'm buttoned down on the outside but I can let loose. I'm strong and resilient but also warm and caring. I'm smart but not terribly cerebral. I'm funny and quick witted but not sarcastic. I'm struggling to avoid sounding pretentious because I'm modest and try to have good manners. In case you're wondering, I am of Indian heritage but was born in England. I grew up in suburban New Jersey and now consider myself a Jersey boy living in the city. My philosophies for life and love -- "Feel the fear and do it anyway"; "Don't quit"; and "Treat other people the way I wish to be treated". I fight for the underdog. I'm a big believer in romance. I like to do things to surprise and please my special someone. I wake up every day thankful for the people in my life and if I'm with you, I'll try to let you know I'm thankful for your being around. Family is very important to me. I have nephews and nieces and a large extended family. I'm out to my family which in my ethnicity is considered brave; the real courage is by my family for standing up for me. Do you share my love for music, dogs, kids, celebrations, food / wine, gardening, technology, architecture and travel? I also like doing fun things like cooking dinner, making day trips out of the city, going to ball games, movies and concerts, the occasional theater (though sometimes I do nod off). I like to clown around but not at other people's expense. I like to debate and discuss ideas and enjoy learning new things. I'm physically active and work out several times a week. I'm looking for someone who is successful in his career and has some common interests but also has skills and interests of his own.. If I'm with you, I'll be your biggest fan and be genuinely proud of your accomplishments.. Fundamentally, I'm looking for someone of similar age with whom I have mutual chemistry -- someone who will take care of me body and soul --and who's looking to be taken care of too--someone who will make the time for us to get to know each other and not give up when we hit the invariable bump in the road. Thanks for reading my profile and I'd love to talk or better yet meet.

"My friend bought this from another friend of mine and i kinda used it alot by the time he got a new headphone. It gave me a very good look on what these cans can do. Fit: Very good.

Durability: It's ALL PLASTIC...." --PeeTzz74
Philips SHE8000/28 In-Ear Headphone (Black/Red)
" These IEM's arent the greatest. But these ARE the greatest for $5!! Seperation is great, Clarity is great, Detail is great! Bass is superb! Doesnt muddle out the highs and mids.

Paddington versus the metal post
I was so excited Daddy came home, I ran out the door knocked my head on the post and act like nothing happened!
Paddington (Paddy) is a 5 year old male lab with more excitement than ability to brake or a sense of safety. The post mentioned is actually a metal pillar. Luckily he has had years of training running into/head-butting things. He is fine and not ashamed in the least.
Who ratted me out? Was it the cat? I bet it was the cat.
This is Shiner. He likes to knock over the trash.

My eleven-year old sister is too much like me. This is the text message she sent me at 10pm. "Don't tell mom cause I'm supposed to be in bed right now, but do u know where they sell cheap book lights? Flashlights are too hard 2 hold & read at the same time so I need 1 that clips onto the page. Or do you have one? Cause I read at night."
Needless to say, I just ordered her a booklight and it's on its way. I told her not to tell Mom. :)

For those of you who don't know, I teach in NJ. The state budget is in dire straits and education is taking the hardest hit under our new governor. As a result of the awful budget situation, I received my RIF letter on Friday. I'm staying positive and hoping that I am brought back after this all shakes out, but I am also drafting various contingency plans. I can't imagine not teaching, so I am crossing my fingers that there is a spot for me come September.
However, today was an amazing day, spent with my best friends from college, their husbands, dogs, and kids. We went to Ag Field Day at our alma mater and it was amazing. Thank goodness for good friends! And cute babies. :)

A BJP delegation today submitted a memorandum to Uttar Pradesh Governor B L Joshi, alleging that law and order has deteriorated completely in the state.
The delegation led by the state BJP chief Laxmi Kant Bajpai alleged that after Badaun incident, 57 cases of crime with women had taken place in the state, and requested him to use his constitutional powers.
Bajpai also alleged that under patronisation of SP leaders, BJP workers were being attacked. He said that as the constitutional head of the state, he should consider whether SP government deserved to remain in power. "If not, then kindly use your constitutional powers," he said.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister is being put under the scanner over the spate of rape cases in his state. The Badaun and Moradabad case of minor girls who were allegedly raped and then found hanging from trees have invited scorn from across the country. Read more

Iverson aiming to prove critics wrong
Updated: September 10, 2009, 6:05 PM ETESPN.com news services
MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- Allen Iverson has something to prove.
Though the 10-time All-Star and former league MVP has scored more than 23,000 points in his NBA career, he wasn't a highly sought-after free agent.
The 34-year-old guard heard all the talk that he's lost a step, that last year's dip in offensive production indicated he's on the downside of his career, maybe even ready for retirement.
Iverson wants to prove those critics wrong, and he'll get his chance in Memphis. ...

Sorry, morddwyd, I had been thinking about the two quotes below, taken from Forum Editor's previous post, that seemed to suggest they were unemployed, on benefits, whereas we were all working to pay for them.
I have no personal knowledge of the protesters concerned and thought maybe FE's experience was a better gauge.
I certainly did not mean to imply anything derogatory.
" they love a good protest, and the chance to relieve the boredom that fills the spaces between benefit payments"
"making a general nuisance of themselves while the rest of us work hard to provide most of them with the money they spend"

These protestors may not know how to solve the economic problems of the world but they do know that their government only seems to be papering over the cracks.
These people represent the silent majority who shake their heads over their morning papers.

I did make the point that I was sure there are a few very sincere and deep-thinking people among the protesters. There always are, but often there's a far bigger number of people who are simply there for the ride - people who just enjoy the chance to sit around for a while, talking anarchy,and generally having a good time.
Many of them are supported financially by the rest of us, and have no intention of changing that situation. It should come as no great surprise that lots of us who work for a living (and support them financially) find it a tad irritating to see these people being interviewed on the ten o'clock news, and realise that they have nothing much to say at all. They spout vaguely about 'redistribution of wealth' as if they had the faintest idea what that might entail.

According to Fox 8′s John Telich, the Cleveland Cavaliers have submitted a bid on the waiver wires for recently amnesty-waived Houston Rockets forward Luis Scola.
Earlier in the week, it was reported that the Cavs and Dallas Mavericks would be the two leading contenders for Scola's services. The 32-year-old forward has averaged 14.5 points and 7.7 rebounds during his five-year NBA career, entirely with Houston.
On Saturday, Fox Sports Ohio's Sam Amico tweeted that a move likely will not be made officially until Monday, when it will be 48 hours since Scola was waived.
He's set to make slightly over $30 million over the next three seasons. The team that places the highest sealed-envelope bid will win the claim for Scola and pay that portion of his salary for the 2012-13 schedule.

Bottom Line:
As I am new to this biking, I do not intent to spend too much for a starter bike and so far, this bike seems to be able to guide me into the sport slowly but surely. Quite responsive on different kinds of terrains and generally light for this price range. The impressive part of the whole bike is the body frame. Can easily upgrade the componants to a better bike to suit your requirement.
However, the stock component are a little weaker compare to some other brands of the same price range.
I will definately recommend this bike to new comers as an entry level bike.

Strengths: Great beginner bike, nice stock parts.
Weaknesses: Weak frame, weak wheels, not good for freeriding or intense XC. The frame snapped on a bad crash.
Bottom Line:
And after the crash, when I tried to either get a new frame, a better frame or a refund from Giant, they refused to do anything. They didn't replace anything on the bike or anything at all. It took a letter that was written to them to get anything at all. After that, they sent me a boulder (which i didn't touch). I sold the boulder to my LBS and got a surly frame. That thing is the bomb. I'm never buying anything from Giant ever again.

by Joel Cox - It all started with a left hook that buckled the legs of the undefeated million-dollar prospect from Bolton. The kid had never taken that kind of a shota shot that would change his life forever.
The perpetrator of the punch was a Columbian called Khanqueror Breidis Prescott, a 7-to-1 underdog for reasons handicappers to this day still cant quite figure out. He followed the hook with a vicious right, then another left, and before anyone realized what was happeningthe kid was on his back..
Unable to think things through rationally, he popped back up a little quicker than he should have. He was dazed and wobbly, barley able to stand, let alone fight. The ref should have stopped it then, but in a paradoxical act of cruelty and kindness he let it go on, because the kid was a prospect. Seconds later, Prescott landed another combination of hooks, and it was all over.
The knockout punch was a replica of that first left, but it was the first that did it. That was the shot that marred the mystique of one of the most promising British lightweights since Ken Buchanan. The Pride of Bolton, then 21-year-old rising star Amir Khan had been knocked out in the 54th second in the first round of his 19th professional bout.
That was almost a year and a half ago. Since then, Khan has earned four victories including an impressive 5th round stoppage over ring legend Marco Antonio Barrera.
This Saturday nightin what promises to be a highly intriguing WBA World Light-Welterweight title boutKhan is set to fight Paulie the Magic Man Malignaggi on Malignaggis home turf at New Yorks Madison Square Garden Arena. This will be Khan's first American bout, and his opponent, well, couldn't be more American. That is if by American, you mean megalomaniacal, obnoxious, and full of hair gel.
Some might describe Malignaggi as of as a white Floyd Mayweather, only not as talented or famous, yet just as infamous. Not exactly the most popular guy in boxing, but thats not to say hes not a hell of a fighter.
On the contrary, he has great speed, a proven chin, and an almost nostalgic ring styledefense reminiscent of a young Hearns: side stance minimizing body target.
He comes into the fight with a record of 27 and 3all losses from big names, and interestingly enough, as much as boxing aficionados have discounted Malignaggi as a world-class fighter, in the end, his losses might end up being the only thing that can save his legacy.
He was pummeled round after agonizing round in his bout with Miguel Cotto, but he would not go down. He showed likewise stubbornness in his fights with Ricky Hatton and Juan Diaz. Many even believe he should have gotten the decision over Diaz, and in their rematch, he did.
So if nothing else, after this is all over, hopefully years from now Paulie Malignaggi will walk away from the ring knowing that he showed heart, which will always be the benchmark of a true champion.
Although Kahn might have the more impressive record and the brighter looking future, Malignaggi is the only onebetween the twowho can say he hasnt been knocked out by an underdog in the first round of what was supposed to be a stepping-stone fight. Khan knows that, and he has something to prove. If there were ever anyone he could prove it on, Malignaggi would be the one.
This fight is special because although the two fighters differ in styles and strengths, both have an equal chance of winning. Both are great fighters, both have taken their licks, and thats what this fight is really about.
When they meet Saturday night, they wont just be fighting each other. Khan will be fighting against the left hook that changed his life, and Malignaggi will be fighting against his entire life up to this point.
These guys are by no means the best in boxing; however, fights like these end careers, not because the fighters are dangerous, rather just the opposite. Whoever loses will not get another shot at redemption. If Malignaggi cant pull this off, it will substantiate his reputation as a B-rate fighter, and if Khan loses, he will have lost to Paulie Malignaggi on top of having been knocked out in the first round of his Prescott fight.
This bout really marks the point of no return for both fighters. The stakes are high, and the only way both can win is if they give us a bloody war, and those are always a lot of fun.
