“That blood test was taken on April 8, 24 days before the fight,” Arum said. |
Floyd Mayweather Sr. has gone on the record saying he believes Pacquiao is highly successful because he has been taking performance-enhancing drugs. |
Meanwhile, Pacquiao on Tuesday lashed out at Golden Boy in a statement. Even though Top Rank is Pacquiao’s chief promoter, Golden Boy has a financial interest in Pacquiao. |
Schaefer responded by saying nobody from Golden Boy has accused Pacquiao of taking steroids, and that Golden Boy is simply representing Mayweather in these negotiations. |

This time last year I hammered out a Note from a Berkeley, Calif., coffeeshop after having spent four days at a conference learning how to better integrate the digital world of Boise Weekly with our print world. At the time, I wrote that we didn't have a choice about throwing ourselves headlong into the digital world. ... |
At the time that meant providing a constant stream of robust web content through video, blogs and slideshows. It meant developing solid social media strategies to better connect readers with content. |
I returned from the same conference earlier this week with a long to-do list. Much of last year's conversation--how to monetize the web, how to produce more content with fewer resources--has evolved into a discussion that starts from the assumption that we have those issues figured out and moves forward on a mobile mis... |
But my business is content, not money. And this weekend, I learned about all kinds of new editorial tools within both the mobile world and the social networking world. One of them, Storify, I've put to work at boiseweekly.com with coverage of the mega-loads that started rolling on U.S. Highway 12 this week. You'll find... |

The questions, which were created by by Arizona State University professor Terry Tracey, are designed to measure six personality traits, captured in the acronym RIASEC: Realistic (aka “doers”), Investigative (“thinkers”), Artistic (“creators”), Social (“helpers”), Enterprising (“persuaders”) and Conventional (“organize... |
The RIASEC score, which was originally created by John Holland in 1959, matches people’s interests and abilities to occupations with similar characteristics. In 1999, the U.S. Department of Labor adopted RIASEC to create occupational interest profiles, which are used in the quiz above. |
Every job requires a distinct combination of personality traits. Fashion designers and choreographers, for example, are Artistic and Enterprising, while people who are Realistic and Conventional–that is to say, detail-oriented–might make good umpires or referees. Those with high Social and Enterprising scores are well ... |
Men tend to score higher than women on the Realistic (“doers”) type, while women tend to score higher than men on the Social (“helper”) type, Illinois State University professor Margaret Nauta wrote in a 2010 journal article. But the metrics have since been revised with the aim of reducing gender bias, and research has... |
Each of the 20 questions in the quiz is associated with one of the six personality types, resulting in an aggregate score that is compared to the RIASEC profiles for all occupations in the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Information Network, to produce the closest match. A team of researchers will work with TIM... |
Russia's President Vladimir Putin gestures during a news conference after a meeting with Turkey's Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan in Istanbul December 3, 2012. |
Russia's financial markets were paralysed for around two hours on Tuesday after a massive technical glitch hit the country's main bourse - the Moscow Exchange PJSC. |
At 3 p.m. Moscow time (MSK), the bourse officials were forced shut down trading in equities, bonds, currency, and derivatives trading. |
A statement on the exchange's website said it was "preparing to resume trading using backup systems" and that a technical failure was to blame. |
At 16:50 MSK (14:50 UK time), main markets - equities, bonds, and the rouble - started trading again. Five minutes later foreign exchange and precious metals trading followed suit. |
While this looks like a big deal from the outside, the market outage does not seem to be as big of an issue as Western investors may think. |
"Had this been the first halt, that would've been tolerable, but this is not the first time a halt occurs this year," said Yaroslav Podsevatkin, head of trading at Aton in Moscow, to Bloomberg. "These halts are turning into a statistic. I think many market players will start taking these risks seriously and considering... |
The Moscow Exchange halted derivatives trading on August 12 and five months earlier it was forced to stop currency and precious metals trades for around an hour. |

Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara) introduced a bill Friday that would increase regulatory oversight of pesticide use near schools, day-care facilities, nursing homes and hospitals. |
The measure would expand the authority of agricultural commissioners across the state to regulate all pesticide use near facilities used by children, the elderly and the infirm. |
Violators would also face stiffer fines than California law now allows. |
Jackson said she was acting in response to an incident at Mound Elementary School in Ventura last fall, when two children went home and dozens of other students and teachers complained of dizziness, headaches and nausea after a morning application of an insecticide at a nearby lemon orchard. |
Current law gives county agricultural commissioners the discretion to regulate the application of narrowly defined "restricted" chemicals. |

SARASOTA, Fla. — Sarasota Police officers are investigating after a man drowned in Sarasota Bay on the 4th of July. |
This Independence Day, Darrell Hancock expected a peaceful lunch by Centennial Park’s waterfront. Until one piercing sound stopped him cold. |
“He was waving his hands up and down going ‘Help, help, help!'" described Hancock. |
About 40 yards past the boat ramp he noticed two men. One wasn’t moving at all and the other treading water while trying to help his friend stay afloat. |
“First boat I said ‘go get these guys, they are right there off the coast. Go get 'em, go get 'em!" said Hancock. |
According to Sarasota Police, officers responded to the area of Centennial Park and the 10th Street Boat Ramp area around 12:15 p.m. Wednesday for two swimmers in distress. |
When officers arrived, they determined two adult males went swimming for an unknown amount of time. |
Police say that the two men lost each other in the water and one man found the other man unconscious a short time later. After treading water, a passing boat noticed the two men and called 911. |
Sarasota Police Marine Patrol responded and found the two men, one alive and one deceased. The age of the deceased male is approximately mid-50s. His identity has not been released at this time. |
Hancock has been left shaken by the situation. |
“It was supposed to be a Fourth of July... everybody enjoying themselves," he said. |
Hancock prays this won’t happen to anyone else tonight. |
According to 2016 data from the National Safety Council, July is the deadliest month for drowning with more than 650 deaths in the U.S. So what can you do? Start by wearing a life jacket. Don’t swim or boat under the influence and remain attentive of everyone in your group. |
Paul Wroblewski, an experienced boater, also urges families to avoid swimming by busy boat ramps. |
“Visibility is bad, you got rocks and shells and oysters. The beaches have lifeguards and they can keep an eye on you a little better," he said. |
Meanwhile, Hancock is thinking only of the family that will get the heartbreaking news tonight. |
“God bless you. I pray for your family, for your kids and everybody involved in this situation. It’s bad," he said. |
Detectives with the Sarasota Police Department Criminal Investigation Division have taken over the investigation. |
Detectives believe the incident appears to be accidental in nature and no foul play is suspected. The name of the victim will be released once next of kin is contacted. The investigation is ongoing. |

The Energy Market Authority (EMA) has progressively liberalised the electricity retail market since 2001, and today, around 35,000 commercial and industrial consumers - or about 80 per cent of electricity demand - enjoy flexibility and choice in their electricity purchases ("Customised price plans for electricity may n... |
By the second half of 2018, the remaining small consumers (mainly households) will be able to choose their electricity retailer and price plan, allowing them to better manage their energy usage and costs. |
Consumers' geographical location will not affect the pricing plans available to them. Consumers who wish to continue to buy electricity from SP Services at the regulated tariff may still do so. |
To better protect consumer interests in a fully liberalised electricity market, we are putting in place safeguards and are working with industry stakeholders on an online platform where consumers can compare price plans across electricity retailers. |
As we introduce full retail competition, EMA is conducting a trial with PUB and Singapore Power on smart meters to enhance productivity and provide consumers with timely information on their consumption. |
This trial will help determine the costs and benefits of rolling out smart metering solutions on a wider scale, as well as the technical performance (including accuracy, security and safety) of the smart metering solutions. |
Greg Smith, the former Goldman Sachs employee who infamously quit Wall Street via a New York Times article in March, says the investment bank routinely took advantage of charities and pension funds in order to increase its profits. |
In an interview on CBS News' 60 Minutes on Sunday to promote the release of his book called Why I Left Goldman Sachs: A Wall Street Story, Smith said that securing an unsophisticated, or "muppet" client was the top goal of the bank's salespeople. His frustrations with that culture meant he "literally wanted to hit the ... |
"Getting an unsophisticated client was the golden prize," he told the programme. "The quickest way to make money on Wall Street is to take the most sophisticated product and try to sell it to the least sophisticated client. |
"What Wall Street will do is they will approach one of these philanthropies or endowments or teachers' retirement pension funds in Alabama or Virginia or Oregon and they'll say to them: 'We have this great product that is going to serve your needs'. And it looks very alluring to these investors but what they don't real... |
Smith was no more than a mid-ranking employee when he penned his March article, which is best remembered for his claim that Goldman bankers in London frequently dubbed unsophisticated clients as "muppets". |
"Within week one [of arriving in the London office] I met a junior guy who was 24, 25 years old and the first thing he'd told me was that he had just traded a sophisticated derivative with a 'muppet client' who'd paid the firm an extra million dollars because the client was so trusting that he didn't check the price wi... |
Smith also recalled how he and a Goldman partner travelled to Asia to meet a major client, described as the "head of one of the biggest funds in the world". |
"[The client] looks me and the partner in the eye and says: 'Let me be honest with you guys. We don't trust you at all. But don't worry, there's nothing to worry about, we're going to keep doing business with you because you're the biggest bank, you're the smartest and factually we have to do business with you'. |
"Now my jaw almost dropped because hearing from one of your biggest clients that they don't trust you when your whole mantra and reputation is built on trust, to me was the worst possible thing that you can hear. And then I leave the meeting and the partner from Goldman Sachs, who I was with, is jubilant. This is great... |
Goldman declined to give CBS a response to its Smith interview. However, the bank's board has already been told that an internal investigation triggered by Smith's resignation – which was dubbed the "muppet hunt" – had found little substance to the allegations. |
