Most of us don't think too much about the can our vegetables or spaghetti sauce comes in. We're more concerned with the brand or the price. But a love of cooking, and a love of history got this writer interested in where, and when the first attempt at canning food for preservation took place, and more importantly, why the process evolved.
Without a doubt, it was essential for ancient cultures to figure out how to preserve their food, just in order to survive. To do this, ancient man learned to use nature. Once people of the northern climes figured out that frozen meat didn't go bad, freezing was used. In the same context, people in sub-tropical climates discovered that drying meats in the sun kept their food safe for long periods of time.
Climate paid a role in the evolution of food preservation methods throughout history. With the development of an agricultural society, people sacrificed mobility for a structured lifestyle, and man was stuck with fewer food sources because of his dependence on crops that grew during certain seasons. It became necessary to find ways to preserve food items that could be eaten at other times during the year.
"An army marches on its stomach" - Napoleon
But as society evolved, and disputes over landholdings turned into grabs for other regions and countries, armies grew. From battles that took an army a few days march before engaging an enemy, campaigns lasting months, and even years came to pass, with conquering troops stripping the invaded country to replenish their own food supplies.
In 1795, Europe was in the midst of the Napoleonic Wars, and with thousands of soldiers to feed, it was a difficult task. Being far from home, it was an insurmountable process getting food to the armies of Napoleon Bonaparte, so money was given to the troops to buy provisions locally from the merchants in the country they had invaded.
This was a problem because just as it was in the American Civil War, invading Generals devastated the lands they drove their armies across, leaving little in their wake. "30-40 tons of food were needed to feed the soldiers in his Northern Italian army in 1795 on a daily basis." – (To Feed An Army) When no food was available, Napoleon's army often stole, ate spoiled food or starved, and starving and sick men cannot fight.
In order to combat poor food supplies and sickness in the army, Napoleon decided to take the bull by the horns, saying "an army marches on its stomach," he offered a challenge, with a prize of 12,000 Francs to anyone who could figure out a way to preserve food to make sure his army was provided with their daily rations.
Napoleon's challenge and the prize of a lifetime
The challenge was taken up by Nicolas Appert of France. Between 1795 and 1809, he developed a safe method of preserving food in air-tight containers. Appert was to try several methods before settling on one that worked. The germ theory hadn't been developed yet, and although he could not understand the reasons behind food spoilage and exactly how he was able to overcome it, Appert published his results in 1810 received the prize of 12,000 francs.
Appert didn't know that his method was successful because it killed microorganisms that cause food to go bad, and it kept new microorganisms from getting into the sealed containers. He thought air was the culprit in contaminating food, and that heating the air inside the glass containers rendered it harmless. Just think, he was so very close to figuring it all out, wasn't he?
Since that time, the practice of canning using the boiling water bath eventually was to lead to the creation of metal cans that could store some foods for years. By the 1830s, commercial canning was well under way. It again increased dramatically during the Civil War in the U.S. because of the need to feed the armies on both sides. It is hard to imagine that something so devastatingly destructive as war could bring about an innovation so important to society, isn't it?

Dell Mini 3i is Coming to the US Soon
Were you in a jealous rage when you heard that Dell was coming out with a new smartphone that was only going to be available in China? Be furious no longer, because a rumor published through CrunchGear indicates that this same Dell Phone, called the Mini 3i, will be US-bound in the coming months.
That's right, folks. Since the Mini 3i is Android-based, it will bring a lot of competition into an already intensely-competitive market. It's going to be butting heads with the likes of HTC, Samsung, Motorola, amongst others.
In the rumor, we have learned that the US version will offer better hardware and a better camera (5 MP instead of China's 3 MP), so it is making us as curious as ever.
So will it hold up against such rivals as the Motorola CLIQ or HTC Hero? Nobody knows, but that's what makes this all exciting for now! Expect more trickling of information in the near future.

"Sample preparation has always been a pain point in laboratory processes," said Eric Phillips, Agilent's product marketing manager for gas chromatography. "These enhancements to Workbench that include WeighStation, eliminate many manual steps in the sample-prep process with software upgrades and automation capabilities. Workbench retains key features to minimize human exposure to harmful chemicals and reagents."
New features include:
"Many good chemists perform manual sample preparation, but Workbench with WeighStation will now let them spend more time on other, more important tasks in the lab," Phillips added. "Together, these enhancements provide consistent precision and accuracy, enabling laboratories to reduce costs associated with sample preparation and eliminate mundane steps that hinder productivity."
Agilent's Workbench Cost Benefit Calculator provides more information on how the product can reduce costs.
The Agilent 7696A Sample Prep Workbench provides consistent precision and eliminates possible errors associated with manual sample preparation. Workbench with WeighStation provides laboratories with the ability to weigh precise amounts of material directly into the gas or liquid chromatography vial, allowing for highly precise weight calculations required in specific ASTM and EN methods.
Workbench provides savings to the laboratory, eliminating the need for reinjections due to missed steps in sample preparation. It requires only small volumes of chemicals and solvents, produces less waste, and does not require glassware other than sample vials. Automated sample preparation ensures consistent sample processing and eliminates analyst-to-analyst variability. The instrument's automation capabilities and ability to fit in most fume hoods also reduces human exposure to hazardous chemicals and reagents.

Latest News Philippines: DEFENSE PACT INKED – Journal.com.ph:
CANADA and the Philippines yesterday inked a defense agreement to help the country procure military equipment and boost its capability to defend its territory.
President Benigno Aquino and visiting Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced the development in a joint media briefing in Malacanang yesterday.
The Philippines' Department of National Defense and the state-run Canadian Commercial Corp. signed the agreement as Harper met Aquino at Malacanang Palace
The deal was signed amid a territorial dispute between the Philippines and China over the West Philippine Sea.
"This memorandum of understanding will enable the Philippines to acquire the equipment and expertise it needs to fulfill the country's defense and security agenda," Harper said.
Under the deal, Filipino purchases of equipment and expertise from Canada's $12.6 billion (US$12.6 billion) defense industry are guaranteed by the Ottawa government, according to a Canadian government statement.
"This will help us in our efforts to build our defense and security capabilities," Aquino said.
"I cannot go into specifics lest they be observed by less friendly individuals," the President said.
Earlier, the President noted that the military had just two transport aircraft, no fighter jets and just 132 mainly World War II-era ships.
"The fundamental issue is that we have a lot of outmoded equipment," he said.
The Canadian Commercial Corp. serves as a go-between Canadian suppliers and foreign governments in transacting defense and security contracts.
The Philippines has been in the market for patrol vessels to protect its waters, including areas that overlap with territory claimed by China.

INDIANAPOLIS - Former Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon didn't quite have enough to join the two-time winner club Sunday.
Although he finished second, moving up 14 spots from his qualifying position, Wheldon acknowledged he was too busy trying to hold off Danica Patrick for third to chase down Helio Castroneves for the win.
"I'm incredibly excited," the 2005 winner said. "I have to say there have not been many races where the team has executed 100 percent, and they did it today."
With Patrick closing in at the end and Castroneves pulling away for a 1.98-second win, Wheldon simply didn't have enough to catch him.
"It would be more frustrating if I had something for Helio, but I really didn't," he said. "To be honest with you, he was incredibly strong at the end."
Fast mover: A week ago, Alex Tagliani didn't even think he'd be in the race.
On Sunday, after starting from the last spot, No. 33, he finished 11th - the biggest mover of the day.
Tagliani was bumped out of the starting field on the last qualifying run of the month last week and only got back in when team owner Eric Bachelart put him into the No. 36 car Bruno Junqueira qualified.
The 36-year-old Canadian couldn't have asked for a better result.
"Our day was pretty simple: We just tried to make no mistakes and stay out of trouble and continue to make up ground toward the front," he said. "We also tried not to make any mistakes in the pits, and that's exactly what we did."
Tracy's top 10: This time there was no debate about the winner; nor was there any question about Paul Tracy's ability to drive competitively.
Tracy made his first start of the season Sunday and moved up from the 13th to ninth, a solid performance though not as good as the top-five Tracy wanted.
"I hoped I showed everyone I'm capable of doing this," he said. "We've got two more races in Canada, and hopefully we get another chance at it."
Tracy finished second in a disputed finish during his last Indy appearance in 2002. He lost his appeal and Helio Castroneves finally was declared the winner in July 2002.
Fisher improving: Sarah Fisher broke one record by starting her eighth Indy 500, the most of any woman.
Her fledgling team also produced a career-best effort. Fisher, who started 21st, finished 17th - her best Indy finish.
"It was consistent. We have a lot to learn," she said. "We showed we can be in the game. We just need to do a little bit more homework."
Last year, Fisher spent most of May looking for money. This year, she came with a solid sponsor in Dollar General.

UPDATE: Xbox One version
State of Decay has been released as the "Year One Survival Edition" on Xbox One for $30. As we said on Xbox 360, it's one of the best zombie games we've ever played and this compilation is the best of the bunch in terms of content. It includes the main game, as well as Breakdown, the survival mode added post-launch, and Lifeline, the story-driven DLC.
Unlike the original release, there aren't any problems buying it in Australia. It's now openly for sale, after it was mildly censored to obtain an R18+ rating -- the Australian Classification Board really doesn't like drug use.
Aside from that, there's nothing special about the Xbox One re-release. It's bumped up to 1080p and resolves some of the texture issues of the Xbox 360 version, but this certainly isn't a remastering. It's a tweaked port, at best, and still suffers from some horrible framerate drops. Technically, it's no worse than the Xbox 360 version, but it's ugly for an Xbox One game. The reason to buy this version -- aside from being able to play on a current-gen platform -- is for all of the content in one place. There's over 50 hours of gameplay here, and the expansion expands upon the formula for the better. For $30 it's a great package, just be don't expect the faults of the Xbox 360 version to be addresses.
Original review (28/06/2013)
Zombies are invading video games at an exponential rate these days. No longer restricted to the realm of cheesy B-grade horror flicks, the undead hordes are now mainstream and are, in all honesty, getting a bit out of hand, shambling into every second film, FPS or open-world title like... well, a plague. And now, they just aren't as scary.
Thankfully, State of Decay isn't your average zombie game. It puts those undead bastards to work to re-create the tense, suspenseful survival-horror gameplay we originally associated flesh-eating walking corpses with. The end result is an ambitious, content-packed Xbox Live Arcade game you can pay and play for just 1600MSP ($20) — though a little trick is required for us poor Aussies to get it.
State of Decay consolidates all that is great about the zombie apocalypse scenario and offers survival nuts everything they secretly dream of — gathering supplies, building a fort, establishing a community, culling the hordes with smarts and generally conquering Armageddon — and backs its ambitious ideas up with dynamic choices, actual consequences and solid gameplay mechanics, all with a surprising amount of depth.
It's a shame, then, that the game is slightly let down by technical problems. It's even more of a shame (and a joke) that our country's classification board has opted to refuse classification for what is the XBLA game to own this year for in-game drug references, delaying its release. Quick, hand me the bong to get over this unnecessary BS.
State of Decay immediately throws players into the deep-end as Marcus, a store-clerk and experienced outdoorsman who finds himself returning to a small town engulfed by chaos after a hiking trip with his friend, Ed. The two stumble upon an off-duty military survivor, Maya, and witness the massacre of several others.
The trio eventually find refuge with another group of survivors at the town's church, who have built a base and survived through a mess that doesn't seem any closer to ending. It is here you're introduced to the central theme of the game: never let your guard down.
Switching between Marcus and Maya in the beginning (and any other able-bodied survivor who you raise to friend status) via third-person perspective, players are tasked to manage and fortify a survivor community, scavenge a myriad of necessary supplies — ammo, construction tools, food, fuel, and medicine — and deal with the ever-increasing amount of threats and problems which can bring down the community.
And that's just the problems associated with the human element.
Zombies in State of Decay are not drastically frightening or different in their traditional depictions. It's how you engage them which makes the experience so tense and exciting. This isn't Dead Island or Left 4 Dead where you can mow or chop hordes down with little effort: sure, one or two zeds are easy enough to bash to death, but if a group rushes you, run your ass off and live to fight another day.
The zombies are an actual challenge, and therefore a threat. When you triumph over their superior numbers and nasty bite, it's immensely satisfying, more so than killing hundreds in Dead Island by yourself. It's also just as crushing when they overwhelm you — which may happen a lot.
It is here you're introduced to the central theme of the game: never let your guard down."
Why? In State of Decay, you aren't a bad-ass zombie killer — at least, not until you train and level up. You're a real person, a survivor stuck in a big mess who needs to think about every decision carefully, especially considering there's only one save file and you can't be cheap and reload a checkpoint. The game remembers every action: player character death is permanent, so if you die out there, say goodbye to that character's story. If you don't have any other survivors to switch perspective to, it's game over.
You can shoot that zombie for a faster kill or drive to get places faster, but be prepared to attract a horde to the noise and waste valuable resources. You can also avoid the hordes rather than fight, but if you don't cull enough of them over time, it can cause real problems in the future. Getting caught off-guard by more than two or three zombies is a recipe for disaster, with no second chances.
The same problems apply within the survivor community. You need to constantly make sure all supplies are well-stocked via consistent scavenging, make sure morale remains high with fellow survivors by paying attention to their needs, and micro-manage your multiple playable characters to ensure they're well-rested and not overused. Characters get fatigued, and you'll learn your cardio meter is everything in this game, even more important than health. Running and carrying supplies back to base sucks the energy out of your guys, so be wary and either raise your stats or switch survivors.
You'll also need to fortify your base and upgrade its areas for more efficiency —more beds equals more rest, a better medical bay equals more people available for labour, a training areas equals tougher fighters, etc — to level up your playable survivors and ensure the NPCs at home-base are beefed up for defending your home.
Most missions will be randomised depending on your immediate needs after the initial introductory hours. If you don't attend to them, or if you don't have enough Influence — a meter which measures your level of control as leader, gained via missions and contributing supplies — your mini-society will collapse quickly.
Expansion is eventually necessary via the main storyline and general gameplay. You'll be hard-pressed to establish outposts and other bases all around the sizable open-world while maintaining your HQ once the immediate area starts to get scarce on resources. Scout out bases with formidable walls or other natural barriers to maximise your chances of survival and allow your guys time to train up and truly become zombie-hunters.
State of Decay makes what seems a mundane task such as hauling your backpack back to camp or driving fellow survivors around the neighbourhood to scout base locations a constantly engaging experience. Depending on the survivor you use, different dialogue triggers and changes will be apparent during the mission, increasing potential replay-ability.
Melee combat is the most effective way of dispatching ghouls. You'll find a variety of home-made, make-shift blunt and edged weapons to bash skulls in with, and sneaking up on one or two zombies with a one-hit kill sneak move is the safest way to move forward. Guns are devastatingly powerful, as they should be, but ammo is scarce — sometimes not because the game-world doesn't have enough, but because leaving plenty back home increases your Influence, and taking too much for scavenge runs lowers it. This adds another tactical element to managing your community and leadership within it.
Perhaps one of the best features of the game is how it keeps going even after you switch it off. You'll find the dynamic world has moved on in your absence, and upon returning, if you left your survivors with low morale, zero barricades or not enough resources, the game will update you on how they fared. Be prepared to deal with utter disaster if you neglected your homies.
It's impossible to detail every mechanic and option available to you because there's just so much to discover out there, and that's what makes the game so epic: it's the ultimate zombie-survival-management title we've been waiting for, if a little rough around the edges in its technical aspects.
This isn't Dead Island or Left 4 Dead where you can mow or chop hordes down with little effort: sure, one or two zeds are easy enough to bash to death, but if a group rushes you, run your ass off and live to fight another day.
There is also a story located within State of Decay and for an Xbox Live Arcade game, it's great to see the narrative and quality of voice-acting was paid so much attention to, even with the focus being on the survival-management mechanics. Starting protagonists Marcus and Maya are interesting characters you can relate to with their own quirks and motivations, and playing as them and aiding their ascension to reluctant but natural leaders is enjoyable.
There are several other fixed and randomised survivors you take control of along the way, and you can choose to play the story as them. Or you can even miss out on their individual contributions if they fall prey to death, making every potential playthrough unique.
What hampers the addictive survival-management gameplay is a jittery game engine and some visual stumbles. I experienced a terrible frame-rate in areas with more than a few zombies and some clipping issues. Melee combat can also be a bit jarring, but bashing and blasting zombie skulls is just so satisfying, you'll hardly notice. The character models, lip-syncing and environment are also not as detailed as your average game, but considering the size of the game-world, the deep mechanics, and the fact that it's an XBLA title, Undead Labs should still be commended.
As the game chugged on and the depth of its mechanics opened up, these graphical and technical issues became less evident, if only because I was more focused on outrunning my possible death. The only slight disappointment I had was my anticipation to fight against other, hostile survivors (gathered from hours of mistrusting our bastard species in The Last of Us), but alas: State of Decay focuses on, for now, human on zombie violence.
While the game engine suffers from bugs, the solid and addictive gameplay more than makes up for it. Undead Labs are using their game to test the waters for a bigger, better zombie-survival MMO, and after playing State of Decay, I can't wait to see what's ahead.

Standard of care forces physicians to adopt an intellectually closed approach to evidence presuming that science has settled particular questions regarding clinical conundrums. Retrospectively the foolishness of this position is obvious as the inexorable progress of empiricism wrought through experimentation recurrently dismantles accepted evidentiary norms. The "standard" of current epochal standard care has no more underlying claim to absolute truth-value than previous erroneous medical misadventures exemplified by the various theories of humorism. The problem, as it were, is one of perspective as it is difficult discern objective truths when temporally related to the perpetuation of often faulty ideas and attitudes. Only the march forward of time and accumulated wisdom is able to dismantle that which seemed once intuitively and evidentially obvious in a given medical period. The reasonable intellectual position to therefore adopt, as a profession, is one of radical agnosticism towards absolute truth claims and delineations of care as defined by standards. This is not to say that we should fall into nihilism and presume that all of our current care will one day be proven mistaken and therefore be paralyzed by the knowledge of transformation. The story of medical science, as all of science, is replete with advancements and misadventures with a clear arrow of progression. "Standard of care" adopts a position of unsupported truth-value without the reason necessary for its nuanced interpretation. Though we may continue to utilize it as a profession it would be preferable to hand it, in its entirety, back to the lawyers who endowed us with it at the beginning.

Hector Camacho's life ended as he lived it: in a fight with a man and with his demons. He always did better against the former than the latter.
Camacho was a survivor, both inside the ring and out, but the fight ends for all of us eventually and his ended violently last Tuesday when he was shot in the face while sitting in the car of a friend who really wasn't one. That man, Adrian Mojica Moreno, was shot dead in a fusillade of gunfire, nine bags of cocaine in his pocket and an opened 10th one inside the car where the 50-year-old Camacho sat.
Camacho was a fighter to the end, the bullet being deflected by a jaw that never let him down through 88 professional fights. But that tumbling bullet severed his spinal column and he was declared brain dead after suffering a heart attack one night later while still hospitalized a Centro Medico Trauma Center in San Juan. It was several more days before his grief stricken mother made the decision to have withdrawn the plug that was giving him life, something she refused to do until his entire family was around him.
Camacho had brought them all great joy and savage pain, the latter coming from the often uncontrolled life he lived outside the ring. His demons – drugs, alcohol, shady characters, mistrust and bad choices – had been a part of Camacho's life since he was a kid growing up in a hard part of Spanish Harlem. He was jailed while still a teenager for stealing cars and street fighting and dabbled with drugs and alcohol for nearly all of his professional life but fighting would become his way out of a dead-end life that still ended up that way despite winning three world titles and becoming a larger-than-life personality in the hardest sport there is.
"Macho'' Camacho was everything that name implied. His gifts of speed, elusiveness, mental dexterity when working within boxing's unique geometry and a stinging right jab made him a three-time New York Golden Gloves champion when that still carried a lot of weight and would eventually help him win the WBC super featherweight, WBC lightweight and WBO junior welterweight titles and one of the sport's biggest and most noticed names during the 1980s and 1990s.
He had star quality, a kind heart and a well-hidden but true sense of humility, all often overshadowed by the "Macho Man's'' outward armor of bravado and at times cruelty that never reflected fairly who he could be when he was just Hector.
Hector, the guy who befriended so many and who had nothing but time for his fans and anyone who loved his sport, might never have risen to the heights "Macho'' Camacho did however. That is one of the painful sides of boxing.
More often than not its great champions are dogged by internal conflicts, issues that often go back to tortured childhoods and real fears. Camacho, like all great champions (and for a time he surely was one), carried them with him to his grave. He fought them the best he could, winning sometimes and losing others, but mostly he ran from them, hoping somehow he could outmaneuver life the way he had so many fighters.
But when he was wearing leather gloves and outrageous outfits – one time a loincloth, another time a gladiator's helmet and battle gear – he was a beautiful thing to watch. Being a southpaw that is saying something because few left-handed fighters rise above the term "stinking southpaw'' that accompanies so many of them into boxing.
Camacho (79-6-3, 45 KO) was anything but that. He was a crowd pleaser, a fighter who understood he was in show business, not just the hurt business. While he would grow more cautious inside the ring after a savage victory over Edwin Rosario at Madison Square Garden in 1986 that no one who witnessed it would forget, Camacho was at one time a whirlwind of aggression.
That night he dominated the first few rounds and then was hurt badly for the first time in his career, rocked by the relentless Rosario's right hand in the fifth round in a way Camacho never thought possible. His reaction was a champion's. The Macho Man fought back.
He dominated the next five rounds but Rosario hurt him again in the 11th and nearly had him out in the final round. Ever the survivor, Camacho used his speed, agility and mental acuity to move, hold, grab, run, do whatever necessary to survive.
He was awarded a well-deserved yet controversial split decision, a victory painfully earned. After it was over, as ESPN-New York writer Wally Matthews recalled, Camacho had a typically amusing response to it all.
In those heady days, Camacho and his crowd had begun hollering "What time is it? Macho Time!'' It was amusing at first but it became so much a staple of being in his presence you tended to pack cotton in your ears when attending one of his press conferences or gym sessions.
But after that brutal confrontation with Rosario that night, Matthews asked Camacho again, "What time is it?''
Tired and bloodied, his face a swollen mask of what it had been when the night's work began, his reply was every inch Camacho's.
"Time to go to bed,'' he said.
Camacho would go on to defeat faded legends like Roberto Duran and Sugar Ray Leonard, who he retired in 1997 with absolute and utter disrespect from the opening bell until the fight was stopped in the fifth round one fight before Camacho would lose nearly every round of a welterweight title fight with boxing's newest young star, Oscar De La Hoya.
He was never the same after the Rosario fight, having paid so high a price for victory he could never gather back the piece of himself lost that night at the Garden. He became a front runner, someone who could overwhelm less talented opponents but who would grow cautious and movement obsessed when pressed near the edge of that memory of Rosario.
This was never more evident than in 1992, six years after the Rosario fight, when he climbed out of the ring before facing Julio Cesar Chavez to cling to his mother at ringside. It was the kind of hug you imagined normally reserved for men on death row.
Then he went back in and lost nearly every round and the WBC light welterweight title he held at the time to the legendary Mexican. No shame in that. Chavez was 82-0 that night and would lose only six times in 107 fights, nearly all of those defeats coming when he was well past his prime.
Some will argue that Camacho should have been much more than he was in boxing but how can a man out fight himself? It is actually a testament to the size of his skills that he became all that he was as a fighter despite abusing himself so often outside the ring.
He understood the cost of fighting and certainly reaped its rewards but he also suffered its defeats and in the end was still contemplating a return to it, a man lost in his memories.
By then he'd been arrested for theft in Mississippi that briefly landed him in jail, accused of domestic violence several times, divorced and shot a year ago not far from where his life would end. Thoughts of another comeback to boxing after all he'd been through by then was perhaps the cruelest irony of all for a man who once explained away Leonard's false belief that he would be able in his dotage to find some way to defeat a man like Camacho, who though no longer the king of the jungle was still a lion in it.
"He believes in his history," Camacho said.
You could say the same for Hector "Macho'' Camacho. Even in the moments before a hail of bullets not far from his birthplace in Bayamon, a hard part of Puerto Rican real estate on the edge of San Juan, he believed he was still El Gato, the cat, forgetting that even cats have only nine lives.
Very well written piece...
Great piece, RIP Macho
Macho Camacho means a hell of a lot to boxing fans of a certain age. Great piece. Thank you. RIP.
For all of Camacho's talent, unfortunately his career is regarded as "what might have been." As Borges pointed out, he was never the same fighter after that gutsy performance against Rosario in 1986. He went from being an exciting stick-and-move fighter to being a shameless runner and holder while throwing the occasional jab. If he had lived a more disciplined lifestyle, he would have been able to stay at 130 or 135, where he was special. A fighter of his ability should NEVER have gone life and death with someone like Greg Haugen. He probably should never have fought above 140, given his build. While I was personally never a fan of Camacho (his personality turned me off), he did have a great chin and heart. Chavez gave him the beating of a lifetime, and Camacho took it like a man.
Hector "Macho Time" Camacho is an ATG, PERIOD! He fought the best, and not a single one of them could cut him, knock him down or TKO him. He is the only elite pugilist in the history of pugilism to go fight more than 85 bouts and never get any of the above. His worst battlescar was a swollen eye in a couple of bouts. All the ATG p4p fighter suffered one or all the above.
Hector was special, talented, and stealthy skilled with speed that even a lot of the experts missed his true greatness while it was happening. Thanks to film and video that they can now go review it. And make an honest accessment of how great he was, not just could have been.
Just think about it. All the top twenty of all times was cut and/or knockdown or out and/or TKO! But not "Macho Time." Because he had that special talent and skill that Willie Pep, Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, Marvelous Marvin Hagler, Joe Calzaghe, Money May and Da Manny didn't. They all could not escape cuts, knockdowns and outs, and TKOs. Holla!
And the truth rises right up from the grave. I will be there when Hector is elected in the HOF in a bit over a couple years. He has done the greatest with what he has done. And it is forever. Holla!
Say what you will. He did what other didn't still. They did what get kayoed, despite fighting to' survive, but did not have the adroitness or chin of Hector. And that is a hardcore fact. They didn't have the skin of Hector either. He never got cut. They did. Trying to rewrite history of the departed is weak syet that haters feel entitled to do.
Maybe because greats such as MACHO TIME will be thought of for a 1,000 lifetimes and all times. But haters die and that is the sweet end of their cry. Holla!
I'm no hater (except if you count the fact that I hate that word) and have no desire to be known (let alone remembered) outside of my immediate family but imagine if a fighter as talented as DLH fought with no ambition beyond merely surviving in the ring? Imagine if he didn't care enough (or at all in Hec's case) about winning and used all his talent and ability to cling, run and clown in the ring? Do you think he would have ever been stopped in the ring? I believe, given his punch resistance, he probably wouldn't have even been knocked down a single time. I suppose with a career like that in his backpack (with 120-107 (X3) unanimous decision losses to Trinidad, Quartey, Vargas and Mosley) he could claim to be an all-time great since most ATGs had tasted the canvas, their own blood and even been stopped, unlike him who merely settled for running and losing. Weird logic there, dude.
Everything is what it is. And haters -- no matter how old -- like to play that game and reducing fame.
I was talking with this 94-year-old ex-fighter who was TKO'ed by the late, great Archie "The Old Mongoose" Moore way long ago.
We were discussing Hector Camacho. The old muthafighter told me that Hector was a great, but the Old Mongoose was scary and lucky and nobody should call him great because he got knocked down 70 times and out seven times.
I'm like: WHAT DA DOUBLE FUDGE! SO! 'Well he did get up all but seven of those times and kayoed a recorded 131 fighters! C'mon, SIR! Don't speak bad of the death. They are not here to defend themselves. But one like Archie, his record and films speak loudly for him."
He was GREAT! And this criticizing him is a bit late. Reality and actuality, you can debate. But it will not change fate. MACHO TIME is headed for the HOF, and to be known as one of the greatest boksing wizes of all times. Surviving is stiving. And that is no jiving. Holla!
Camacho was a legend in NYC during the golden gloves. He had a big following when he turned pro.His fights were big shows like Tyson fights. Movie stars ,politicians ,pimps and hos all came out. He was great at the lightweights. He had nice power and some of the quickest flurries ever.when he moved up he lost a bit and he used his style to last a long time and make some $. You can't judge a ex champ with 80 fights on the last part of 80. Having 80 fights today is unheard .
I completely disagree with the notion that Camacho was an all-time great. He was all-time great talent, but his body of work does not lend itself to all-time greatness. Contrary to what Radam says, Camacho was knocked down three times, I believe (the first was accomplished by Reyes Cruz in 1988). He was also cut against Edwin Rosario in that aforementioned 1986 bout. His best wins were against Jose Luis Ramirez, Edwin Rosario, and Cornelius Boza-Edwards, all of which took place at lightweight, and all of which occurred before he turned 25. Bazooka Limon was pretty much a spent bullet by the time Camacho beat him for the vacant super featherweight title in 1983, and he was not a special fighter to begin with. I don't put any stock in his wins over a faded Mancini, 40 year-old Leonard, or 50 year-old Duran. Had he lived a more disciplined lifestyle, he would have been able to to stay at 130 and 135 for a longer period of time, which would have helped him establish a stronger legacy. This is why I look at his career and ask "what might have been?" Yes, I give him credit for taking on young lions like Trinidad and De La Hoya when he was clearly past his prime, but he wasn't the least bit competitive against either of them, and he took a systematic beatdown from Chavez. I give him credit for taking a great punch and having the stones to stay in there against those guys, but he was clearly fighting to survive. While I was not a fan of Camacho, I certainly didn't hate him. Therefore, I am not being a "hater" (ridiculous term), I am simply offering critical analysis of his ring accomplishments.
He had a total of 88 bouts and never got stopped or cut up by even the bigger fighters that he fought. No other elite fighter with above 40 fights in the history of da game can say that. Unheard to the max. Hector stands alone as being the only ATG p4p who never got cut or knocked down or out. The game is known as the sweet science. Macho Time was sweet and an archmaster scientist with mad craft.
At the HOF, he will be a first-ballot draft. "MACHO TIME, BABBEEEEEE, lives forever! And you know dat! Holla!
Radam, I generally enjoy bantering with you about boxing, and I respect the perspective that you bring to the table as a former fighter, but you are way off here. We obviously have differing opinions about Camacho's career, but facts are facts. Camacho WAS cut on the let eyelid against Rosario (look it up on YouTube if you don't believe me, or read Pat Putnam's Sports Illustrated article about the fight), and he most certainly WAS knocked down by Reyes Cruz in 1988 (the KO magazine which detailed Iran Barkley's upset of Thomas Hearns contains a small blurb about Camacho which made mention of the knockdown he suffered). Wikipedia states that Camacho was knocked down three times in his career. While I'm not absolutely certain of the other two, I know for a fact that he was knocked down by Cruz. To say that he was never cut or knocked down is factually inaccurate. While I can agree to disagree with you about whether or not he was an all-time great (he was not), you are certainly incorrect about those two details.
He was knocked down by DLH as well.
Matt, you are wrong. Check yourself. It is easy to make up stuff. That's what the __ ___ did before the election. And a lot __ ___ brought it. We know the end results. Reminds me of Tim Bradley. At least his mirage is official. And you can ___ ___s to go with it. But nobody knocked Hector down or cut him. Check the official records. Holla!

At least his mirage is official. And you can ___ ___s to go with it. But nobody knocked Hector down or cut him. Check the official records. Holla!
I am dumbfounded. You can say the sky is brown, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but that doesn't make you correct. We all know the sky is not brown, and the HBO broadcast that I have in front of me shows Camacho cut on his left eyelid. Seeing it with your own eyes, clear as day, is not making it up.
Magazines and first reports are often wrong. People claim that GOAT Muhammad Ali was cut about 10 times. But officially only light-heavyweight Bob Foster cut him. And people claim that Tim Witherspoon was once cut in a bout, but officially, he was never cut. Many people has seem Money May knocked down three times, but officially, it is one time. People claim that crybaby-@ss Juan Manuel beat Da Manny three time, but actually Da Manny beat Marquez three times. Officially twice and a draw. People claim that Ken Norton beat GOAT Ali three times. But official he did it once and lost twice.
The pugilistic experts that be will select Hector on the first ballet for the HOF, and he will be written down as an ATG. I hope you have some age on you, then you maybe dirt napping and won't have to officially hear that. Because it will one day be heard. I expect to still be alive. And I'll get on my big-teeth Asian grin and remember you. Hehe!
There will always be strong hated opinions. I can't count the amount of eyewitnesses that feels the same way about Sugar Ray Robinson that you feel about Hector. And it doesn't mean a hill of beans. Holla!
YUP! It looks that way, Matt. But I saw with my own eyes Da Manny kicking the syet outta big-footed/damaged-footed Tim Bradley on HBO. But officially it didn't happen. That is what I'm talking about. Officially overrules seeing. BTW, apparently you have never been around a volcano. The sky is brown, black and red as heck. Hehe! Gocha! Holla!
'da hell with resting in peace, be you Camacho, even in the after life. Rampage on, brother!
I am no longer even debating whether Camacho is an all-time great. You think he is, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I believe he isn't, and I think his body of work supports my statement. We can agree to disagree, and I have no problem with that. I respect your opinion. I do agree that he will probably be a hall of famer (fighters with far lesser resumes have been inducted; see Ken Norton), although I don't believe he should be a first ballot hall of famer. What I am (foolishly) debating is your inability to use your eyes and see what is plainly obvious. Certain things are not even up for debate. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. This we know. The earth is round, not flat. This we know. Go on YouTube and jump ahead to between the fourth and fifth rounds of Camacho-Rosario. Don Thibodeaux is clearly working on a small cut on Camacho's left eyelid (that later required three stitches). Go on YouTube and go to the end of the ninth round of De La Hoya-Camacho. Camacho is clearly knocked down. There can be no doubt. Once again, it's always a pleasure to debate and discuss boxing with you.
Like I said: "It's still MACHO TIME! Baaabbbbbeee! Hector told me when I was a 12-old-year hotshot National U.S. Silver Gloves Gloves champion that if he ever died, I better keep bytches spittin' about him. So I will be bringing it on at every opportunity. Just look for me at the Pacquiao-Marquez Bout. BTW, I may just be at the Cotto-Trout bout after attending Hector's funeral. Holla!
I know the actuality of those bouts, Matt. But as time goes on optical illusions rear their ugly heads. Covering up jive and changing it is the stanky -- I mean Yanky -- way. Unless stuff is officially noted on official papers by officials, it didn't officially happen. Kinda like Cristo Columbo gets the credit for discoveriing America because he made it official with the correct accepted definiton of discovery.
Those Vikings, Africans and Asians got no love because of not noting it as a discovery. I discovered a bump on my @ss, but didn't say syet, so when my evil-twin wife saw it, and she took the credit for discovery. Hehe! Holla!
BTW FTR, you can see the body of Hector in an open casket on Youtube. Holla!
Who will win the Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward fight?

The preseason is currently in full swing for many college lacrosse teams across the country. With several months having passed since organized team practices last occurred, it's common for these early season workouts to revolve around general conditioning and getting players back into playing shape.
Therefore, during this training period, it's important for coaches to implement anaerobic conditioning, which is high-intensity, short-burst exercises ranging from 30 seconds to 3 minutes to promote speed, power and strength. Here's an ideal workout geared toward those early preseason practices that will have a positive impact from the get-go.
Equipment: Cones spread five yards apart for 30 yards.
Start out at the end cone and then jog down for 30 yards before turning back the other way. That "down and back" counts as one rep. Aim to go six times.
Remember, take a good jogging pace. At the end of 30 yards, make sure to plant your foot and cut off the endline before returning in the other direction.
This is more or less a suicide drill. Start at the end cone before sprinting out 5 yards and then cutting back 5 yards, then immediately going out 10 yards and then cutting back 10 yards. Continue the trend until you go down 30 yards and back 30 yards. Be sure to vary which foot you use to cut off from. For instance, start by cutting off of your right foot and then cut off of your left, and so on. Never do two of the same in a row.
Jog for 10 yards. Once you get to the 10-yard mark, sprint all the way through the 30-yard mark. Be sure to accelerate hard. As soon as you get to the other end, come back the opposite way immediately and repeat.
This time, you will sprint for 10 yards, go into cariocas for 10 yards, go back to sprinting for 10 yards and finish by shuffling for 10 more. Here, we are keeping our anaerobic endurance drills and changing them into something that has a little more change of direction.
This workout can be seen on the Championship Productions' DVD "100 Conditioning Drills & Exercises for Lacrosse" with Rob Rose. To see additional conditioning videos, click here.
We have recently released a new lacrosse DVD featuring Robert Rose titled Complete Conditioning for Lacrosse. Rose's lacrosse DVD provides preseason, in-season, and off-season workout plans that feature over 100 conditioning drills and exercises. Each drill is demonstrated by a lacrosse player, showing how to run the drill effectively. This is a great tool to get your players in shape while improving their skills!

UNH Media Relations
Reporters and editors: To speak with Tom Kelly, chief sustainability officer at UNH, about UNH's climate action plan, contact Alaina Pritchard at firstname.lastname@example.com or 603-862-8564.
DURHAM, N.H. – The University of New Hampshire finalized WildCAP, its climate action plan, today, committing to reducing greenhouse gas emissions 50 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050 (compared to a 1990 baseline). UNH submitted WildCAP to the campus community and the American College & University Presidents' Climate Commitment (ACUPCC), of which it was an early signatory. The plan outlines more than 25 projects and 15 policies -- supported by an innovative energy efficiency revolving fund -- designed to achieve an overall goal of climate neutrality.
"This plan – named after our wildcat mascot -- is the culmination of more than 30 years of energy efficiency efforts at UNH," said UNH President Mark Huddleston. "I applaud the hard work and creativity of our campus-wide Energy Task Force, created in 2006, which drafted this plan and its thoughtful initiatives."
Key elements of WildCAP include:
- EcoLine™, UNH's innovative landfill gas-to-energy project that uses methane gas from Waste Management's Rochester landfill to supply up to 85 percent of the campus's energy needs. EcoLine is projected to cut more than 36,000 t CO2e (metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent) annually by 2020.
- More than 25 recommended projects – including a vehicle fleet management program and improved energy management of campus computers. These projects would reduce an additional 7,500 t CO2e annually beyond the EcoLine reductions by 2020.
- More than 15 recommended university-wide policies – including a review of the university's telecommuting, travel, and procurement policies. These policies would strengthen the projects and lead to further reductions.
- The creation of an innovative energy efficiency revolving fund, which will fund many of these initiatives. This fund will be created with seed money from a ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009) grant and supplemented with funds generated though the sale of renewable energy certificates from the Ecoline™ project through 2015 as well as future fundraising efforts. The fund will capture the cost savings of efficiency projects on campus to reinvest in future projects.
As a signatory of the ACUPCC, UNH receives support and resources designed to help the school achieve the outlined climate objectives and has access to a supportive network of peer institutions that share insights into best practices.
"I congratulate UNH on its commitment to climate neutrality and for contributing to this first sector-wide effort at creating climate action plans," said Toni Nelson, program director of the ACUPCC. "The collective impact of schools throughout the nation fighting climate change is tremendous," she added.
WildCAP is available to download (after 6 p.m. Sept. 15, 2009) here: http://acupcc.aashe.org/index.php?abs=&q=University%20of%20New%20Hampshire.
Launched in 2007, the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment is a network of 650 signatory schools, representing all 50 states and the District of Columbia. This high-visibility effort to address global warming garners institutional commitments to neutralize greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate the research and educational efforts of higher education to equip society to re-stabilize the Earth's climate. The lead supporting organization of the initiative is the national nonprofit Second Nature, based in Boston. For more information, visit www.presidentsclimatecommitment.org
The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 11,800 undergraduate and 2,400 graduate students.

ROSS Kolesar, member of the Western Upper Peninsula Trail Authority, shows protective helmets to an off-road vehicle safety class at Gogebic Community College Saturday.
IRONWOOD - Fourteen youth attended a free off-road vehicle safety class Saturday through the Western Upper Peninsula Trail Authority.
The class, held at Gogebic Community College, covered a variety of topics to keep ORV operators safe.
Instructors for the class included WUPTA members Ross and Kim Kolesar and Gogebic County Sheriff's Department deputy Brandon Lyons. After the class was completed, participants took a 50-question test regarding different ORV safety practices. If students passed, they were awarded certificates.
Some of the tips students learned included always checking the owner's manual before taking a vehicle out on the road; wearing lights or bright colors to make operators visible and wearing protective gear like helmets, goggles and a face shield.
"Speed is definitely a major cause of accidents," instructor Kim Kolesar said. "So it's important to be responsible drivers."
Students were also taught safe riding techniques, pre-ride safety inspections, the risks of riding, laws and requirements, ways to protect the environment and good trail etiquette.
All ORV operators under age 16 are required to possess a valid safety training certificate when operating their vehicles.

College Hockey:Miami defeats Bowling Green
First meeting between Blasi and his former assistant results in victory for RedHawks
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Chris Bergeron and Enrico Blasi met at center ice, shook hands and hugged; a friendly reunion after a not so friendly battle on the ice.
In their first meeting as head coaches—Bergeron served as Blasi's assistant coach for the past seven seasons before taking over the Falcons this season—it was sixth ranked Miami who came away with the 4-3 victory in a physical game that featured a quite a bit of shoving and late hits after the whistle.
Prior to the players animosity on the ice—this was the first meeting since the teams combined for 186 penalty minutes in a 10-2 Miami win last season—the two coaches were able to have a much calmer evening Thursday night.
"I had a chance to spend time with him last night away from hockey, and that was special," Bergeron said. "Tonight it was just, hey congratulations, they got what they deserved and I feel we got what we deserved."
Teammates at Miami, Bergeron and Blasi helped the RedHawks to their first ever CCHA Regular season title during the 1992-93 season, seven years later they were reunited behind the bench.
Under the guidance of the former teammates Miami slowly turned into one of the top programs of the country, earning trips to the Frozen Four in 2008 and 2010, including a heartbreaking national title game loss to Boston University on their first ever trip to college hockey's biggest stage.
However, past history didn't matter Friday night as Blasi took a 1-0 series lead in their budding rivalry.
"Once the game started it was about the players, I'm proud of what he's [Bergeron] doing and I know he's going to move the program forward," Blasi said.
"It was kind of nervous at first, but once it started it was a regular game … my expectations aren't to lose a game 4-3 to whoever," Bergeron said.
Despite some back-and-forth play early on it was Blasi's team that struck first, on a seeing-eye shot by Joe Hartman that banked off the post and into the net.
Brett Mohler tied the game at one on a shorthanded breakaway at 16:22 of the first period; Mohler intercepted a RedHawk pass at the blueline, skated in and beat Miami goalie Cody Reichard glove side just before a Miami defender dragged him down and he crashed into the net.
The collision with the net was apparently harder then it appeared, as Mohler couldn't remember what happened on the goal after the game.
Miami regained its lead just 28 second into the second period, when Will Weber's rising shot from the point beat Bowling Green goalie Nick Eno; who was screened on the play by former Falcon Patrick Tiesling who transferred to Miami following the 2008-09 season.
Reilly Smith doubled the RedHawk lead at 13:34 of the period, when his shot from right below the face-off dot somehow slipped either through or under the legs of Eno.
Sandwiched in between the Miami goals, Bowling Green had a great opportunity to even the score after Matt Tomassoni was called for checking from behind, receiving a game misconduct and giving the Falcons a five-minute power play.
Other than a 90 second stretch—in which Jake Sloat made two impressive plays to keep the puck in the offensive zone—Bowling Green struggled to set up and spent too much time attempting to elude Miami forecheckers in their own zone.
"It sure seemed to go by pretty quickly … we've been struggling with the power play," Bergeron said. "We didn't make enough plays on the power play … and I felt we didn't make enough plays all over … but we've got to find a way to take advantage of those opportunities."
Not capitalizing on the man advantage was even more detrimental to the Falcons when Miami capitalized on the power play with 2:09 left in the period. Pat Cannone was the recipient of a pretty pass from Smith, and easily beat a diving Eno blocker side.
"We've been working on that all week, spreading them out, we knew they were going to pressure … I made the pass to the backdoor and it was pretty easy," Smith said.
Bowling Green gave the home fans some life 7:12 into the third period, as Mohler once again found the back of the net, this time on slamming home a rebound before getting ran into the net by a Miami defender.
The Falcons did add a third goal with two seconds remaining, but it was too little too late.
The teams conclude the weekend series tomorrow night from the BGSU Ice Arena, opening faceoff is set for 7:05 p.m.

The 74th Round
Any discussion of the regulation of television interests in boxing has to start with a little perspective on just how TV affects the industry and the fighters in it, not to mention an exploration on just what kinds of abuses are possible.
Inasmuch as TV continues to point to the sanctioning bodies as boxing's true source of poison (part of that, of course, is that they don't control them), it needs to be pointed out, first of all, that we should have no illusions about what is more powerful - the influence of television or the influence of sanctioning bodies.
Even with all the sanctioning bodies and title belts available, the plain truth is that, relatively speaking, there are very few fighters who ever get to the point where they have the opportunity to fight for a world championship. On the other hand, however, almost any fighter could conceivably compete in a TV fight - whether that be at the four, six, or eight-round level.
For undercard fighters, and those on the way "up", the dependent factor may be not the ability of the fighter, but the whether a bout can be fit into a broadcast. Some contests appear as "swing fights" in the event a featured bout ends early.
So it would stand to reason that for the average fighter, and I would go so far as to say the average ten-round fighter as well, it would be much more injurious to fall into disfavor with a network than with a sanctioning body, because that is something that could affect a fighter at any stage of his career. If you're a fighter, and a network executive does not take a shine to you, it's likely you will find a difficult, if not impossible time getting onto that network.
If that's the case, that will certainly put you out of "network dollars", and in many cases will disqualify you totally from being on a card. And this can be for any of a multitude of reasons - it need not be a question of a fighter's style, but something
completely outside the fighter's control - it could be that someone bad-mouthed him, or maybe the manager is generally regarded to be a pain in the ass.
The network is in a position to dictate this kind of stuff because it holds the purse strings. The economics of the business dictate that in the vast majority of cases, a promoter won't - indeed, can't - put on a show unless there is network money behind it. That's why the club show circuit is virtually dead, and has been for quite some time. And rare is the instance where the network has to buy whatever a promoter throws it in the way of a fight card - there is always a certain veto power the network holds, since not only is it more or less subsidizing the show, it is ultimately responsible for the product it puts out over the air.
That's perfectly understandable. And sometimes there are perfectly legitimate reasons as to why a network will not want to put a fighter on its air.
If the fighter's style is so displeasing that he will turn fans off, or worse, prompt those fans to turn the network off, that fighter might not have a career as a TV performer, no matter how effective he is. If the fighter and/or his connections are so
unrealistic or difficult to deal with, networks won't likely have a lot of patience.
This rationale should be obvious, even to novice boxing followers.
What I'm most concerned about with are the things that are NOT so obvious to a casual observer.
And you wonder whether those things carry the role of the networks beyond that of a mere "exhibitor", where the exclusion of talent goes beyond anything that could reasonably be characterized as "quality control".
For this, we need a hypothetical.
Let's say we've got a cable network going weekly with a boxing show, and it is the only network that is theoretically "open", that is, there is not an exclusive deal with one promoter to provide all the "output".
Let's say instead of having its boxing schedule split between a couple of promoters, this particular network decides to have maybe just one or two "output" deals with outside parties, in which a specific number of dates are guaranteed. The rest of the promoters then have to go through a procedure of putting together a prospective matchup, and pitching that to the network executives, in order to be considered for a show - at least that would be the normal process.
To help them in fielding the proposals for those shows, the network decides that it will hire a "consultant" - someone who might recruit promoters into the fold, and advise the network on which promoters will be used, and which main events will be televised. Just as importantly, he will certainly register his input on which main events will NOT be televised.
The consultant is a long-time boxing man, but there's something a little irregular about this arrangement.
For one thing, the consultant is also an independent promoter in his own right. And he's another guy that wants all the dates he can get - either directly or indirectly - from the network.
Within the way boxing is structured these days, that means, by definition, that we would commonly be engaged in the practice of signing fighters to promotional contracts - deals which tie up a fighter's rights for a certain period of time and also afford the promoter an opportunity to make a significant amount of "side money" when that fighter is "loaned out" to other promoters.
As you can imagine, this is valuable currency to have in the marketplace - certainly valuable enough for promoters to compete with each other over.
And "compete" is the operative word. What's difficult to reconcile about the position of anyone wearing those two hats simultaneously is that the people who would be competing with the promoter/TV consultant over promotional contracts - those who could afford signing bonuses when necessary; those who could guarantee minimum purses, were also the same people who had to get their own television proposals past him, as a representative of the network.
When you consider that getting those TV dates would put them in a better competitive position relative to the TV consultant in his role as promoter, it's not hard to see something wrong with that whole picture.
Simply put, it becomes an advantage only if you're not a threat to that consultant.
Naturally, tangential opportunities can open up - cutting the consultant in on promotions or contracts in exchange for receiving TV dates. Making beneficial "side deals" for the consultant when he's doing business that's not related to the network. One hand washing the other so much it starts to get water-logged. There's a virtual rat's nest of under-the-table shit that could conceivably go on.
And it brings me to other areas of concern, when TV executives are involved. Like hidden output deals - "wink-wink" arrangements where a whole slew of future dates appear to be tied up on a network, except no one seems to know which fights are going to fill them. Or promoters without any product to offer a network are getting an inordinately high number of dates.
What the public doesn't really understand is that a television network can literally create a promoter out of thin air. It HAS happened. It IS happening. And when that network acquiesces to being a "strategic partner" with a promoter, how can other promoters expect to find a level playing field?
The answer is - they don't. Believe me, fighters and managers get the message. It's all part of "playing ball". Talent will gravitate toward the promoters who seem to be getting the TV dates, because the understanding is, that's the way they're going to get on TV and therefore make more money.
And it's not always a passive message being sent. The practice of a network boxing executive "steering" a fighter in the direction of one particular promoter is certainly nothing new. And it happens subtly enough so as to be indiscernible.
And it can gravitate to other things. Promoters have been known to present fight proposals to networks, and were turned down on the basis that the fight is not up to standards, only to see that same fight later appear on another promoter's date. Other promoters are told, in terms that may be certain or somewhat uncertain, that if they want a fight or fighter to appear on television, they must "attach" themselves to a date that is owned by another promoter. Often, this provides a risk-free payday for the promoter who has been granted that date from the network, and diminished financial opportunity for the promoter who actually delivers the talent.
This stuff happens. And this hidden agenda not only has the effect of enriching certain promoters above others, but also increasing the leverage of those who are "chosen". Whichever way you slice it, it amounts to exerting undue influence
over the balance of power among promoters.
Obviously, that shouldn't be allowed.
But it's the kind of thing that could conceivably happen at any network, as long as the proper pieces are in place. So maybe the important thing is not to zero in on one specific TV outlet, but to create the standard by which we can look at all networks, well into the future...........
........Although I certainly hope some people in Bristol, Connecticut are listening carefully.
But wait - I'm not finished yet.
Imagine that, on top of its cozy - almost incestuous - relationship with designated promoters, which in turn tips the scale in favor of certain fighters, managers and agents - a network decides that it wants to become a dominant player (read: promotional partner) in the lucrative business of pay-per-view boxing AND, at the same time, undertakes to become the major influence over which entity is accepted by the public as an authoritative source for world ratings - in fact investigating ways to "brand" these ratings with its name.
What you're left with is a rather dangerous "vertical integration" of interests, my friend.
One that shouldn't go ignored.
One that may in fact be illegal.
You would think a lesson had been learned from the ugly Don King/ABC/Ring Magazine scandal of the mid-1970s, which sent an already moribund sport into a tailspin of monstrous proportions.
Evidently it hasn't. In large media companies, it seems wisdom isn't handed down from one generation to the next.
Someone should find the guy whose outburst originally broke that scandal wide open, and ask HIM about it.
What's Scott LeDoux up to these days, anyway?

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.†(Ephesians 6:18)
While most people associate Halloween as a day of kids decked out in costumes begging for candy, on the church calendar it is better known as All Hallows Eve, a vigil day to set the stage for All Saints Day. Celebrated Nov. 1 as a Holy Day of Obligation by the Roman Catholic church, All Saints, formerly known as All Hallows or Hallowmas, honors those men and women — known and unknown — recognized for their holiness and/or martyrdom. (The Orthodox Church celebrates All Saints the first Sunday after Pentecost.)
Vote for your favorite
More than 10,000 saints and beatified people hold the honor, beginning with those named through what amounted to popular vote during the first few centuries of the church's existence. Until the Vatican took the authority for designating who reached sainthood, the selection of saints resembled an election.
Although Pope John Paul II updated the process in 1983, the process still takes years. Even those Catholics considered holy and prime candidates usually don't get a foot in the sainthood door until many years after their deaths. Like the old commercial about products being inspected thoroughly, they're not saints until the church says so.
The tradition of recognizing saints has its roots in the Jewish practice of honoring holy people and prophets with shrines.
The process
o The process begins with an evaluation of the person's life by a local bishop, with the action moving to the Vatican's panel of theologians for further investigation. Many of the first saints were martyrs who died for their beliefs.
o The cardinals of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints also must put their stamp of approval on the candidate before the pope gives a thumbs up and declares the person "venerable.â€
o Beatification, the next rung of the ladder, requires a miracle that occurs after the candidate's death as proof of their ability to intercede when petitioned for help through prayer.
o It takes an additional miracle to boost the candidate into sainted limelight, better known as canonization, by the pope.
The Catholic Online Web site explains that "Canonization does not 'make' a person a saint; it recognizes what God has already done.â€
