Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard says young players today have it too easy, also believing they no longer have respect for others.
Young players today are disrespectful and don't appreciate just how cushy their lives are, according to England international Frank Lampard.
The now Chelsea star spent his days as a youth trainee cleaning the boots of the West Ham first team and being learning about respect, something he insists taught him valuable lessons about behaviour and attitude on and off the pitch.
"Sometimes I cringe at the way football has gone here with the young players," Lampard said in the Daily Mail. "Everything is easy. They don't have to clean boots any more, they drive BMW's, they get a very easy life.
"Sometimes they walk past you and don't give you a second look," added the 29-year-old of the arrogance of some of the youngsters at Chelsea. "I'd love to go back to the days of more respect and a kid going out and doing double training sessions - that's what got me where I am."

|Oracle Accounts Receivable Deductions Settlement Implementation Guide
Release 12.1
Part Number E16294-02
Use the following high level procedure for running any Oracle Applications concurrent program or program set. You can use these procedures to run or schedule any of the Oracle Accounts Receivable Deductions Settlement concurrent programs.
See Oracle Applications System Administrator's Guide - Maintenance for complete details on Oracle Applications concurrent programs.
Select the Oracle Trade Management Administrator responsibility.
Choose Single Request (if running a single concurrent program) or Request Set (if running a set of concurrent programs).
Query for the appropriate concurrent program, if necessary.
You can run the program immediately or schedule batch jobs. If scheduling, select the time frame.
You can check the status of the program you submitted using the Find Request window. To navigate to this window, go to Requests from the View menu and click on the Find Requests button. Use the Refresh Data button to update the request status.
Run the following concurrent programs for claims after the use of claims has commenced — not at the time of implementation.
|Claims Aging Populating
|Required for using the Claims Aging View. It must be run when using time periods, defined in the Aging Bucket created in Oracle Receivables. This program populates the Aging Bucket, grouping them by customer.
Aging is run based on the system date. This program has to be run on a daily basis to get the daily aging analysis for the customers.
Claims can be aged using a past due bucket type.
|Claims Auto Write-offs Program
|Batch process to automatically write off claims that have the automatic write off check box selected.
Process can be run for:
|Claims Autopay
|Autopay can be set up to regularly pay accruals based on a customer, budget, campaign or offer.
When it runs, it looks at the specified budget, customer, offer, or campaign; finds their outstanding accruals; finds an Autopay payment frequency or threshold set up for each customer; finds the payment preference; and automatically creates a claim.
It also triggers the claim settlement process, which may first go through the approval process. The settlement method selected for each claim is either check or credit and is based on the payment preference set up in the offer and customer's trade profile.
If the Group by Offer parameter is enabled on the autopay program, the system generates a single claim per offer earnings.
|Claims Import Purge
|This program is used to purge the claims import interface table.
|Claims Settlement Fetcher
|This program retrieves transactions created in Payables (check) or Receivables (credit memo or debit memo) as a result of a claim settlement, update, or closure.
Claim settlement on manual claims is created through Autoinvoice or Payables Open Interface Import. These programs run in batch mode. After the actual payment is created in Oracle Receivables or Oracle Payables, Claim Settlement Fetcher must run. This causes the data to show in claims.
The Claim Settlement Fetcher closes the claim, updates the claim with payment details, and in case of deduction, also updates the receiving application with pay details.
The program is also used:
|Create Accounting
|Creates accounting entries in Oracle Subledger Accounting for promotional claim settlement events, and transfers and posts these to Oracle General Ledger.
|Import Claims
|In addition to creating claims manually in TM, you can also import claims using the Import Interface. This data is from legacy or third party systems. Companies implementing TM can populate an interface table and run a concurrent process to create claims automatically in TM.
The Import Claims program pushes the data from the interface tables into TM claims. It runs through the standard validation process for claims creation, rejecting the claims that are not successful for import.
Parameters: None.
|OZF: Legal Entity Stamping Upgrade
|To ensure legal compliance, all transactions that translate to legal documents must be stamped with the Legal Entity ID at the header level. The Claims table contains a legal entity column. This concurrent program stamps the legal entity id on the existing Claim records.
Note: This concurrent program contains the OZF prefix.
|Refresh Materialized Views for Promotional Payment
|For the refresh for promotional payments to occur you must run the program with the parameter "earnings".
Updated the materialized view for promotional payments with the most recent earnings information.
This profile options collects the data as follows:
|Rule Based Settlement Engine
|This program automates the process of matching claims and deductions to open credits and accruals based on matching attributes and closing claims for exact matches.
|Transfer to General Ledger
|See description in Concurrent Programs for Budgets in the Oracle Channel Rebate and Point-of-Sale Management Implementation Guide.

#1 Ranked Children's Hospital by U.S. News & World Report
MyPatients provides referring primary care providers with secure access to their patients' information.
Boston Children's has launched the world's 1st program dedicated to offering hand transplants to children who qualify.
Innovation insider is a semi-monthly e-newsletter analyzes innovations at Boston Children's, other academic medical centers and from industry.
Read the latest blog by a Boston Children's doctor, clinician or staff member.
There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
or download our interactive brochure.
Vast, limitless, wide-spectrum and varied are some of the descriptions that one might apply to a career centered in a neurodevelopmental disabilities education. Factor in that there is a constant growing need for physicians to be trained in this field and you are looking at a very exciting opportunity. At Boston Children's Hospital, residents in NDD learn from some of the best practitioners and researchers in both neurological and developmental medicine in the nation.
Continuing in the same tradition as the Child Neurology training program and Developmental Medicine training program, the Neurodevelopmental Disabilities program strives to educate the future leaders in this field. Resident selections are made on a culmination of characteristics, which include academic credentials, interpersonal and intrapersonal relationship skills, dedication and unselfishness. The ability to work cohesively with others is central to our program and for the care of each patient.
The Neurodevelopmental Disabilities program is a four-year curriculum that follows successful completion of two core pediatric training years in an ACGME-accredited program. Upon completion, trainees will have fulfilled:
Unique to our program is a skill on skill spiral of training in both child neurology and developmental medicine. Because of the intermixing of programs throughout the four years, one has multi-access to, and is exposed and interconnected with, both programs on a continual basis. This expands and broadens ones knowledge base and enmeshes the two disciplines into one cohesive curriculum. Residents participate in structured blocks including, but not limited to, inpatient child neurology and epilepsy services, child neurology ICU and inpatient consults teams, outpatient child neurology and developmental clinics and adult inpatient consult teams. Residents also participate in multispecialty clinics and in assigned weekly continuity clinics. Neurodevelopmental Disabilities residents also participate in the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) program honing their interdisciplinary care skills beyond their medical training.
Candidates interested in applying should obtain an application from ERAS. For further information on the application process, please review the 'Application Information and Documents' section. Boston Children's Hospital only offers an advanced match for NDD, for a four year position beginning in 2014. Applicants should apply at the same time for general pediatrics programs. Matching will occur through the National Residency Matching Program (NRMP) instead of the San Francisco Match and will occur simultaneously with the match for general pediatrics.
Potential candidates may also wish to explore the Boston Children's Hospital Neurology and Developmental Medicine sites. In addition, an overview of the NDD program can also be visited.
For further information regarding this residency program, please write or call:

"From my earliest days in medicine, I had an interest in both the Neurology and Developmental fields. Making the decision to choose one over the other proved to be quite a quandary because I did not feel adequate care could be provided to my patients with training from only one facet. Enter NDD! To this day, I can remember when the Neurodevelopmental Disabilities training program option became a reality. And with it, the opportunity I had dreamed of for so many years came to life, to care for neuro-motor challenged patients more comprehensively. Reflecting on the past four years, I have been granted the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the areas of Neurology, Developmental Medicine and Genetics. This has provided me with a truly multidisciplinary approach. I have made long lasting relationships with colleagues across many fields allowing me to build, branch and hone my medical skills, now and into the future. These people also afford me friendship and guidance both personally and professionally, which ultimately allows me to provide the best possible care that I can for my patients. Now, in my final year of training, I look forward to becoming a junior facility member in the Neurology Department at Boston Children's Hospital. I will be joining the ranks of so many before me serving children with a wide variety of neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as educating the next generation of leaders in this field."
Boston Children's is so much more than a hospital—it's a community of researchers, clinicians, administrators, support staff, innovators, teachers, patients and families, all working together to make the impossible possible.

About the Author
Suki Kim is a novelist and an investigative journalist and the only writer ever to go live undercover in North Korea to investigate and write a book from the inside. Since 2002, she has travelled to North Korea, witnessing both Kim Jong-il's 60th Birthday celebrations as well as his death at age 69 in 2011. Her New York Times bestselling book of investigative literary nonfiction, Without You, There Is No Us: Undercover Among the Sons of North Korean Elite sheds a new light on the understanding of the North Korean society by delving into its day-to-day life and provides unprecedented insights into the psychology of its ruling class, about whom the world knows very little. She has also reported on the North Korean defectors for Harper's magazine.
Kim's first novel, The Interpreter, was a finalist for a PEN Hemingway Prize, and her nonfiction has appeared in New York Times, New York Review of Books, Washington Post, Slate, and The New Republic, where she is a contributing editor. A recipient of a Guggenheim, a Fulbright, and a George Soros Foundation's Open Society fellowship, Kim has been featured on CNN's Fareed Zakaria's GPS and Christiane Amanpour Show and Jon Stewart's The Daily Show. Her 2015 TED Talk, which received a standing ovation from its audience including Bill Gates and Al Gore, has since drawn millions of viewers online. Born and raised in Seoul, she lives in New York.

Project part 9 - Large-time and macroscopic asymptotics in kinetic transport (Christian Schmeiser)
[P9, Schmeiser] is concerned with kinetic transport equations, describing the dynamics of particle ensembles in terms of their distributions in phase (position-velocity) space. This Project Part will contribute to the effort of proving decay to equilibrium with explicit rates by hypocoercivity methods, typically relying on mathematical entropy vs. entropy dissipation approaches, based on modifications of physical entropies. A second research direction is the modeling of self-organisation phenomena in ensembles of biological cells, including model derivation, analysis, simulation, long time and macroscopic limits.
Various approaches for the analysis of hypocoercivity will be synthesized together with [P1, Arnold], J. Dolbeault (Paris), F. Herau (Nantes), C. Mouhot (Cambridge), and L. Neumann (Innsbruck), guided by the goals of minimal assumptions on initial data, optimal convergence rates, and inclusion of nonlinear problems. Entropy dissipation aspects will be guiding numerical approaches to Fokker-Planck equations (with [P2, Jüngel]) and kinetic models for gases and for myxobacteria (with [P10, Schöberl]).
A joint effort with P. Degond (London), Hittmeir, Markowich, and A. Manhart (New York) will be concerned with kinetic models for bacterial colonies, where signaling interactions are responsible for self-organisation phenomena such as aggregation, traveling waves, and branching patterns. A new class of models for local binary interactions (alignment and/or reversal) of myxobacteria (a group of social bacteria with gliding motility) will be formulated, analyzed, and solved numerically. The cell biology expertise of C. Schmeiser will also be used in cooperative work on cell membranes (with [P11, Stefanelli]) and on transportation networks (with [P4, Markowich]).

It makes me curious why he would accept such an offer. A fine intellect, excellent teacher, who will now be bogged down administrative minutia. Maybe the next step is bishop.

Internal issues to consider when a business grows
Theory suggests that growth via mergers and takeovers will produce synergies, economies of scale, lower unit costs, higher profit levels and increased market share.
However, research in the UK and the USA tends to suggest that most mergers and takeovers lead to disappointing results.

Tennessee finalizing deal for Eagles RB— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) March 8, 2016
DeMarco Murray, league sources tell ESPN. Trade expected to be complete for new league year Weds
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles have agreed to trade running back DeMarco Murray to the Tennessee Titans. Again, no trades can be officially announced until the start of the league year on Wednesday at 4 PM.
Murray's representatives tweeted the following a few minutes after Schefter's report.
A trade & new contract has been orchestrated to make @DeMarcoMurray a member of the Tennessee @Titans. pic.twitter.com/WlUez4wyXT— SportsTrust Advisors (@_SportsTrust) March 8, 2016
UPDATED: March 7, 7:23 PM
I've heard the Raiders would be interested again, in DeMarco Murray at the right price. I.E a low draft pick— Eddie Borsilli (@Borsilli) March 7, 2016
On Monday, Eddie Borsilli of SiriusXM reported the Raiders would be interested in trading for running back DeMarco Murray, who is coming off a disappointing first season in Philadelphia. When he signed with the Eagles last March, Oakland was another team rumored to have been pursuing the former Cowboy.
The 2014 NFL rushing leader managed only 702 rushing yards and six touchdowns in 2015. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport has reported multiple times this offseason that Murray is unhappy with the team. The running back has publicly denied those feelings.
Interestingly enough, Rapoport also stated on Monday that Philadelphia would be willing to deal running back
#Eagles have made it known that it's not just DeMarco Murray who is available, but also Ryan Mathews, as well, for the right price.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) March 7, 2016
In 2015, Mathews picked up 539 rushing yards and 146 receiving yards in 13 games played. He missed time with a concussion and had a groin injury throughout the majority of the year.

(25 miles north of Chicago)
This Invitation-Only Event is for:
1. Selected class of 2019 & 2020 specialists who are looking for country-wide college exposure, who are looking to compete against the best in their class, and who want to learn from NFL kickers and punters.

About the Event:
- This is a showcase event tailored for college prospect kickers and punters only.
- Strict admission standards ensure top-notch competition, high interest by college coaches, and higher commitment rate than any other showcase in the country.
- Relatively small number of athletes at this event allows us to thoroughly evaluate each athlete, while allowing him to showcase his best performance, and to capture it in a professional quality video. There is no waiting for hundreds of athletes to kick before you get your chance to perform. We invite only 50 competitive college prospects and do not rush them through warm up, charting, etc.
- Athletes get filmed and charted twice. Only the better performance of the two is sent to colleges. Here are two samples of outstanding athletes performing at this event - Hunter Niswander who committed to Northwestern and Austin Seibert who committed to Oklahoma. They both received full scholarships and both are starters on their teams. Click HERE for Hunter's video and HERE for Austin's video.
- Statistics and Video from this event are sent to every college in the country. Individual referrals and references to specific schools are available by request of athletes or universities.
Filip Filipovic and Assistant Coaches with NFL or big time college experience. Coaches will be announced soon.
Lake Forest College Football Stadium. Located on Lake Michigan, about 25 miles north of Chicago, Lake Forest College Campus is one of the most beatiful campuses in the country. Football stadium is surrounded by endless woods and multi-million dollar mansions owned by the likes of Michael Jordan, Vince Vaughn, etc. This was also the training camp facility of the Chicago Bears for many years - including the 1985 team with coach Ditka, Walter Payton, Jim McMahon, etc. In addition to aesthetic value and history, trees around the stadium block most of the wind - making this an outstanding location to have a career day at a kicking event.

TKIA Event Parent and Athlete Testimonials:
"Coach Filipovic, The Kicking Coach, has been Hunter's kicking/punting coach since his freshman year of high school. Hunter tried out other camps, but very early on, found Filipovic's coaching to be incredibly beneficial. Filipovic was in the NFL, and although he could draw hundreds to his clinics, he purposefully limits clinic size. And they sell out early! There are always numerous current D1 and/or NFL kickers/punters helping at his events. This, together with Filipovic's excellent training, makes for great coaching, as well as coach to athlete ratios. At Top Kicker In America 2012, Hunter spent the day learning from the New England Patriots' punter Zoltan Mesko, NFL kicker Billy Cundiff, Filip Filipovic and more. These D1 and NFL specialists lend first-hand, feet-on experience to the training, and we credit Filipovic's coaching regiment with our son's positive results. Hunter made all-state his junior year, and it's looking good for his senior season too. In high school games, he's had five 50-plus field goals, now kicks near 100-percent touchbacks, has a strong punt average (80-yard long), and is getting ready to break the state record for most consecutive PAT's. After being named Top K/P Combo in the Country at Filipovic's 2012 TKIA event, Hunter committed to Northwestern University. Filipovic's training walked Hunter from his first attempts at kicking, to where he is today. He was extremely instrumental and pro-active in advocating for Hunter during his recruiting process. While other organizations charge for everything from Website visibility to videos, Filipovic did not. He put together a highlight video for our son, as he did for all the guys who attended TKIA, at no additional charge. He then sent the video all over the country. Again, no charge. It's a quality situation, and Filip Filipovic is an earnest and honest coach. Hunter is excited to continue learning from Filipovic through his college years, hopes to go NFL, and can't wait to give back, by helping at one of The Kicking Coach clinics...very soon!"

Hi Filip,
I just wanted to send you a shout out! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! WMU's coach Wenger talked very highly of you and what you had to say about BLAZE, so you are the reason he will be a BRONCO next fall!
Thanks for all you did for Blaze! This Watson family appreciates you!

Blaze Watson commits to Western Michigan University
Hi coach!
I attended your camp in January (TKIA 2013) and had a great time - even in the pouring rain. I just wanted to let you know I received 2 offers. One from Yale and the other from University of Iowa. I wanted to let you know I verbally committed to Iowa.
Thanks coach!
Mick Ellis, Class of 2014 Kicker
Accepted a scholarship to University of Iowa
"Attending The Top Kicker in America Showcase was instrumental in getting an offer from a DI school. His camp was professionally ran and the instruction from him and his staff was great. The best part if attending was getting the video and the capability to utilize Filip as a reference. 9 months after the showcase, Filip was still taking calls from college coaches interested in my son. We attended a few kicking events, but this one was the most helpful all around."
Mike Miller, father of Michael Costello

(Reuters) - Fourteen people were arrested on Wednesday and charged with operating a long-running U.S. identity theft ring that filed thousands of fraudulent federal income tax returns to claim $65 million in illegal refunds, according to the U.S. Attorney's office in New Jersey.
The ring allegedly obtained Social Security numbers and other identifying information from Puerto Rican citizens. They used that to file more than 8,000 returns, then obtained the refund checks and either sold them or cashed them, the office said.
"The defendants in this case allegedly tried to steal $65 million using stolen identities to obtain refunds to which they were not entitled," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said in a statement. They succeeded in getting $11.3 million in refunds.
In some cases, the defendants were accused of bribing mail carriers to intercept checks, a classic pattern in these types of cases, according to the Justice Department.
Hundreds of refund checks were mailed to a few addresses in New York and New Jersey, prosecutors said.
The defendants are charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and various theft charges. Each faces five to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
The number of U.S. taxpayers affected by identity theft more than doubled in 2011 to 641,052 from 270,518 in 2010, according to a July report by the watchdog for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has said it blocked more than $1.4 billion in tax refunds claimed by identity thieves in 2011, but this type of stolen identity refund fraud continues to result in over $2 billion in losses annually to the Treasury.
As much as $26 billion could still be refunded to identity thieves in the next five years if the IRS does not do more to control the problem, the Treasury Inspector General estimated.
"The bucket's getting filled with a spigot by identity thieves, while the IRS is taking it out with an eye dropper," said Elizabeth Maresca, a law professor at Fordham University.
In the latest move by authorities to combat tax ID theft, Wednesday's arrests were made by a task force including six federal law enforcement agencies, including the criminal investigation unit of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.

REALLY!!!! You can't compliment a stranger??
I put my QOTD post yesterday and thought it would be nice to celebrate Compliment Day.....
6 replies by 6pm. REALLY??????
No one seems to have a problem giving strangers advice and telling them actually what they are doing wrong in their lives, but ask them to be nice and give a compliment and everyone runs from the post like cockroaches when the lights turn on!
I find it baffling...
I'm pretty sure I didn't scold anybody...I was just saying
Quoting 1234abcd4321:
are you done scolding people for not complimenting others on some random internet post yet? this is absolutely bizarre.
Quoting jaytee:
Oh and I just want to say that when you search QOTD in this group there are at least 15 responses to almost all of them so it is a little weird that by 6 pm there were only 6 responses...
I always compliment strangers IRL. But on here, I'm still relatively new to the group and I haven't made close friends with any of you yet (that I'm aware of). So, when I saw your post, I thought about it and coudln't think of anyONE to write it for. I don't know enough about you to say much to make it meaningful anyway.
Same here.
Quoting jillbailey26:
I didn't even see it. I don't know very many people on here well enough to compliment them, but if I see that the situation calls for it, I will.
I have a compliment for Jinx.
She's a good very judge of mod skills.
Quoting Jinx-Troublex3:
Illbe honest...I waas too lazy to type an answer...but I thought one in my head...if I posted it today it would sound like kissing (_!_) ... lol
Eh....who cares....lol
The mods here are about the best of any group I'm in :)
I only pop in here now and again.
I am surprised that you would post a somewhat aggressive post about your disappointment, considering the other post was about complimenting people.
This is surely not a compliment towards anyone...
Maybe it's not a good idea to vent about a compliment post with a post that's intended to make others feel badly about themselves?
Well I usually answer those posts, but I didn't see that one for some reason but I also didn't realize it was that serious to answer those posts.
I don't read the QOTD, Kitchen Talk, Random thoughts, etc. posts. So it wasn't a problem with not wanting to compliment people, it was that I like cafemom because I feel like I can get some interesting parenting perspectives and sometimes help people with a perspective I have, and the QOTD is generally not about real parenting situations but "other stuff" I don't personally find as interesting.

Felony charges against 14 former high school students accused of a graduation-week vandalism spree were modified to misdemeanors Thursday in St. Croix County Court, likely paving the way for plea deals during the next round of court appearances in March.
Special Prosecutor Rich White and 12 of the 14 former students appeared with their attorneys before St. Croix County Judge Scott Needham for an initial hearing. Most had been charged with two counts of felony damage to property, which were modified to two misdemeanor counts of being party to a crime.
White said the 14 are accused of vandalizing several area high schools last June. Most heavily hit were Hudson and New Richmond high schools, with damages totaling $40,000.
The charges were reduced largely because the suspects have no previous criminal records, White said.
The misdemeanor charges will still "hold people accountable for their actions and serve as a deterrent to others," White said. "All will be facing thousands of dollars in restitution and community service."
"I don't expect this to go to trial," White said.
The attorneys and their clients declined to comment Thursday, as they have done throughout the lengthy court process.
The vandalism and arrests have been widely debated in Hudson and the other affected communities. Some people have argued the charges were too harsh because the teens were good students from good families and had no previous records. Other people believe the former students are receiving special treatment for the same reasons.
St. Croix County Circuit Judge Edward Vlack angered many of the students and their parents in December when he rejected a plea agreement reached by the 14 attorneys and the prosecutor.
Defense attorneys had worked out a deal with the prosecutor that included restitution, community service, letters of apology and probation, along with reduced charges.
But at a preliminary hearing, Vlack rejected the deals. "Having gone through the complaints, I can't in good conscience approve what has been proposed," he said.
Defense attorneys then filed a request for a new judge, bringing Needham to the case.
The Hudson students were arrested shortly after a group of vandals armed with paint balls, spray paint, weed killer and toilet paper struck five western Wisconsin high schools. They left behind painted references to the River Falls Wildcats in an attempt to implicate the rival school.
The paint, along with other evidence, was traced to a store and eventually those who bought it. The students – most of whom graduated the week of the attacks on the high schools in St. Croix, Pierce, Eau Claire and Dunn counties – also were identified through security camera video.

South African bishops criticize police presence at private wedding
May 21, 2013
The Southern African Catholic Bishops' Conference has criticized "the deployment of the police flying squad and other elements of the security forces" and "the use of an air-force base by a privately-chartered jet" during a recent wedding of prominent Indian entrepreneurs.
"The South African Police Services should busy itself with combating crime, for which there is a crying need, not with providing a private security service at taxpayers' expense," said the bishops. "This whole episode merely reinforces the perception that people who are well-connected politically do not have to observe the same rules as ordinary citizens."
"We cannot afford to gain the reputation of being a country where it is 'who you know' that counts, and where wealth can buy privileged treatment from the authorities," the bishops added.

Does Frank Mir Have a Chance Against Junior Dos Santos?May 3, 2012
For good reason, heavyweight champion Junior Dos Santos will come in to his May 26 bout with Frank Mir as the heavy favorite. The amiable Brazilian juggernaut has hardly seen trouble throughout his eight UFC bouts. He's stopped six of his eight foes using his lethal boxing, having thus far been able to stifle any grapplers.
However, Frank Mir may provide Dos Santos' toughest test to date.
Mir's grappling is slept on, but it's truly special. He's the all-time leader in submission victories for a heavyweight in the UFC with eight. Further to the point, Mir recently took home the right arm of the best Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu practitioner MMA has ever seen in Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
As a Brazilian, Dos Santos is practically obligated to train BJJ extensively, but we have yet to see his prowess on the ground in the UFC. It's probably safe to say his ground game doesn't sparkle as brightly as Mir's, who's also forced notable heavyweights Cheick Kongo and Brock Lesnar to tap furiously.
Sure, Mir won't have the easiest time getting inside of Dos Santos' range and taking this fight to the ground, but exactly how great is the champion's takedown defense? His fight with esteemed wrestler Cain Velasquez was over before Cain could work his takedowns. NCAA Division II wrestler Shane Carwin was content to waddle on the outside of Dos Santos' range and let his face become Swiss cheese, but even a battered Carwin was successful with a takedown attempt late in that fight.
Mir doesn't pose the most clever takedowns and he doesn't have the best chin, but through suffocating pressure and tenacity he may be able to get this fight to the ground and showcase his superior grappling acumen.
Fans have written off Frank Mir's chances in this fight, but his ground game might just be Dos Santos' kryptonite. There's good value to be had with a bet on Mir.
Frank Mir leads UFC heavyweights in all-time wins with 14.

Background of "business of White" can be associated with a scandal in the forestry sector
The arrest of Nikita Belykh has occurred amid reports of large-scale fraud in a timber industry complex of the Kirov region. Over the past few years in the industry there have been a series of mysterious bankruptcies, criminal cases and a scandalous redistribution of property. Interesting how responsive the regional authorities.
On Monday, the official representative of the RCDS Vladimir Markin said that 150 thousand euros received by Belykh restaurant on Novy Arbat, was only the third part of a bribe. However, he noted the lack of communication between the "case White" and "Bulk business". But for a number of scandalous stories in the Vyatka forestry is clearly visible figure is close to the White businessman albert Urickogo, which is already a year under arrest on charge in especially large swindle at novovyatsky ski plant.
The triumph of ineffective managers
"Sooner or later these impressive results, "effective management" in the Vyatka timber industry had to be in sight of law enforcement bodies"
Novovyatskiy ski plant (NLC), appearing in the criminal case against Nikita Belykh (namely co-owner of this company Yuri Sudheimer gave the Governor a package in which there were 150 thousand euros), in the Kirov region have the same scandalous reputation, like the famous Kirovles, thundered all over the country in connection with the already mentioned case against Alexei Navalny.
The word "ski" in the name of the plant – just a tribute to the past. NLC was one of the largest in the Soviet Union manufacturer cross-country skiing, but after the market is firmly occupied by foreign manufacturers, to compete with which it was almost impossible, the management of the company tried to develop new types of products. Bet was made on the production of oriented strand boards (OSB) – a material used in construction as a substitute for the traditional chipboards.
The investment project worth 1.8 billion rubles, began in the last decade and dedicated to import substitution, since at the time the swaps in Russia were not issued. The first line was inaugurated in mid-2012 in the presence of Nikita Belykh and Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich. The NLC leadership clearly hoped to outright win significant new market share and soon almost completely switched to OSP.
However, the calculation is not justified. In 2013 the plan for the production of commodity products was performed NLK only by 56.7%, and the plan for its implementation – by 51.2%, net loss amounted to 307 million rubles. 2014 was even worse: the net loss has reached 1,619 billion. Annual report of the company for the previous year not yet approved, but from a database "SPARK-Interfax" it is known that the net loss amounted to 1,289 billion.
Failed NLK, most likely, incorrect assessment of the prospects. If in 2013 the market demand of the Russian market of the swaps was estimated at 1,5–1,8 million cubic meters a year, just one year later, the report States ski combine, the offer in this area exceeded demand. With this new power, introduced in other regions, significantly exceeded the capacity of NLC. In 2014, Kirov, the company issued 100 thousand cubic meters of OSB (and so were the plans for 2015), and its main competitors in this niche-fold higher: DOC "Kalevala" Petrozavodsk – 300 thousand cubic meters, and OOO "Kronospan" from the city of Yegoryevsk in Moscow region – 500 thousand. Moreover, Vyatskiy manufacturer lost to competitors from the point of view of logistics – Petrozavodsk and Cherepovets is much closer to the points of greatest construction activity than the Kirov. As a result, at the end of 2014 the share of Novovyatskiy ski mill on the Russian OSB market is estimated at only 0.8 per cent.
Tales of the Vyatka forest
All these years for NLC viewed the figure of the businessman of Belarusian origin Urickogo albert, who was considered close to Nikita Belykh. In March 2008, the control over the plant in the form of a 59% stake passed to Agroholding "Zernostandart" in which Lariccia was Vice-President. Who was the real previous owner of NLK, hard to say: "Zernostandart" has acquired 59% stake in the plant from a certain "Sales trading limited" registered in Cyprus; the cost of this transaction at that time was estimated at 300-350 million rubles.
Another 30% of shares of NLC at the beginning of 2008 belonged to one of the structures of large forest holding company "Vyatka-Les-invest". However, two years later almost one hundred percent block of NLK, as follows from the list of affiliated persons of the plant, is in the hands of first the Moscow OOO "Stroydizayn" (which is considered a structure albert Urickogo), and then from the Dutch company Century Technologies Ltd. At this point White was already the Governor of the Kirov region.
Once in orbit Urickogo, NLK quickly gained notoriety. The project of modernization of the plant required significant borrowings, however, the loans granted by banks for the purchase of equipment through a network of offshore companies appeared on the personal accounts of Urickogo in the Swiss Credit Suisse. Several such episodes, which various media reported a few years ago, last year became an occasion to excitation concerning Urickogo criminal case under article 159-4 of the criminal code (fraud in especially large sizes).
Shortly before his arrest, Larici tried to transfer the responsibility for fraud on the NLK the former Director of the enterprise Vladimir Sysolyatina – person with a high professional reputation in the forest industry (at the time he was in charge of the holding company "Vyatka-Les-invest"). Sysolyatina was charged with illegal compensation of the VAT for the sum more than 38 million rubles for the purchase of equipment for the NLC from the Chelyabinsk company "Promplita" at an inflated price, using the firms 'seals'. However, in the course of the investigation Sysolyatin insisted that these operations were performed just Larixin behind these companies, and at the end of 2014, the court ruled against the former Director General of NLC acquittal. However, in March of last year the Kirov regional court overturned the verdict, and, according to the regional Prosecutor's office, the case is under further investigation.
Shortly after excitation against Sysolyatina criminal case, NLK, as follows from the list of affiliated persons of the mill again changed hands. This time they became a German company manufacturing automotive lubricants "Sudheimer CT Technician Fertribs GmbH", founded by the native of the USSR Yuri Sudheimer. However, Sudheimer before was part of the Board of Directors of the ski factory, so there is reason to believe that the control of the NLC kept Larici. The result of his management became not only the above mentioned losses, but also a sharp increase of indebtedness over the last two years, according to "SPARK-Interfax", a long-term commitment of the enterprise has more than doubled – from 2.4 to 4.9 billion rubles. Simultaneously there was a sharp reduction in staff: if you had worked at the plant about fifteen thousand people, at the beginning of this year, according to Deputy Prime Minister of the Kirov region Roman Beresnev, state of NLK was only 327.
"In may 2011 the General Director of the paper factory Sergey Efimov came "serious conversation" a few strong men to "Lexus"
All these subjects did not affect the consistently positive attitude of the leadership of the Kirov region to the beginnings of NLK. In January 2010 Governor White signed the order approving the application of NLK on the implementation of investment project on modernization of production. On this basis the plant without an auction provided over 667 thousand cubic meters of wood. And in August 2011, the government of the Kirov region helped NLK, giving the plant a pledge for a loan, "Sberbank" (which, according to investigators, a donkey in the personal accounts of Urickogo) in the form of a number of objects Kirov real estate.
In November of last year (that is, after the arrest of Urickogo) modernization of the ski factory was again included among the 24 priority investment projects in Kirov region.
"The situation at novovyatsky ski plant suggests that the risk of loss of collateral from the region. Yes, a criminal case against the former owner of the company. Currently, the owner has changed. The company is successfully working. Timely paid taxes, contributions to the Pension Fund. As stated by the CEO of the company, problems with cancellation of the loan does not arise," – said in February, Deputy Prime Minister Beresnev.
In the Wake of Kirovles
Novovyatskiy ski mill was not the only enterprise of the Kirov lesopromyshlennogo complex, which is tightly managed for the structure of Urickogo. It is believed that he was the owner of the Swiss company "Hans Kunz" (Hans Kunz AG), a few years ago started to seize the forestry assets of the region. By a strange coincidence, they were expecting the same fate – the accumulation of losses and debts due to bankruptcy.
In particular, in 2012, "Hans Kunz becomes the sole owner of the company "Vyatkalesprom that is a subsidiary of NLC. At that time it was quite a successful medium-sized company – at the end of 2012, it showed revenue 403,8 million rubles and net profit of 20.5 million rubles. However, in 2014, the Arbitration court of Kirov region admits Vyatkalesprom, OOO bankrupt on the basis of the claim about debt recovery on a ridiculous amount of 332 thousand rubles. No less deplorable was the fate of most of the 36 forest enterprises that were included in the structure of Vyatkalesprom". According to the "SPARK" to date, 23 of these companies is liquidated, the other 13 went to private hands and by the end of 2014 almost all either left with a loss, either worked on the verge of profitability.
Scandalous bankruptcy is over and move under the control of the company "Hans Kunz" paper factory "elikon" – the main enterprise of the settlement Murygino, which once worked a half thousand people. The trouble began during the crisis of 2008-2009, when the factory had stopped production. Eighteen months later, after a visit to the "elikon" Nikita Belykh, the decision was made that she would receive "second birth". The new "parent" of the company became "Hans Kunz", and at the end of 2014 after a series of arbitration claims, "elikon" was declared bankrupt. Soon after the introduction on the "Elikon" observation is the first stage of bankruptcy – at the same address was registered a new legal entity – LLC "Kirov paper company", but it was under bankruptcy just a few months.
How was the transition of "elikon" under control "Hans Kunz," a couple of years ago I wrote kirovskie media: in may 2011 the General Director of the paper factory Sergey Efimov came "serious conversation" a few strong men to "Lexus" but Efimov later refused to testify in this episode. However, in February last year, the police have opened a criminal case in connection with the events on the "Elikon" – and again about the illegal VAT refunds.
Finally, traces of albert Urickogo visible in the activities of the infamous sue "Kirovles", which currently is also in the process of liquidation. A few years ago this company was going to realize the investment project involves the selection of woods in the amount of 735 thousand cubic meters in the same pattern as in the case of NLK, that is, without the auction. But in the end the implementation of the project did not take the Kirovles, OOO "Forest management company" (MC "Forestry"), which also appears in the criminal case against Nikita Belykh.
Was this company at the same address as the Kirovles, which once had "Forestry" a share of 25%, and its actual address coincides with the address of NLK. In 2010-2011, the assets of "Forestry" was planning to buy Moscow-based company "Forest technologies", which was originally a subsidiary of NLC, and then came under the control of the same "Hans Kunz". At that time the meetings with the leadership of the Kirov region it was argued that in the transaction with a "Forest technologies" 25% +1 share of "Forestry" will remain the property of the government of the Kirov region, 25% +1 share will be transferred to the jurisdiction of the staff of the Kirovles and the remaining shares will go to Lariccia. However, in the end, the absolute owner of "Forestry" has become another Cyprus structure, with predictable results: more than 42 million rubles of losses by the end of 2014, a series of arbitration cases and writs. But at the end of last year, again a miracle happened: the Forestry project management company for the development of low-rise construction and modernization of wood processing industries on the basis of units of Kirovles was on the list of priority investment projects in Kirov region, next to NLC.
Under bankruptcy last year and got "Forest technology", made a year earlier loss of 161 million rubles. And the total amount of losses present in the system "SPARK" of the forestry and wood industry of Kirov region at the end of 2014, close to 2.3 billion rubles, including 1.6 billion of losses NLC). For comparison, in 2012 this figure was only 636 million rubles.
Sooner or later the results of "effective management" in the Vyatka timber industry had to be in the field of view of law enforcement. The case of "Kirovles" in this context is only the "first swallow", but after in June of last year in Moscow was detained Larici, it was suggested that next in line – his patron, Nikita Belykh. And that's what eventually happened.Related posts:

Oil disaster views and solutions
BP Oil Disaster Criminal Probe: With These Parties Involved How Could We Not Have Seen This Coming?
If I sold 276 million of BP stock and bought a company that puts out oil well fires weeks before the oil platform explosion I'd have the FBI at my door within hours of these revelation if not minutes. There is a lot of profiteering that will go on here and also a lot of blame. Let's look at the evidence:
Three weeks before the BP disaster, Goldman Sachs sold 44% of its stock in BP for a total of approximately 276 MILLION!!!! Look at #10 on the bottom chart of MSN Money Central http://moneycentral.msn.com/ownership?Holding=Institutional+Ownership&Symbol=BP and here for additional info http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0602/month-oil-spill-goldman-sachs-sold-250-million-bp-stock/
Halliburton bought a company called Boots & Coots which became well known for putting out some of the world's largest oil and gas fires 8 days before disaster!!! http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/6952547.html
Halliburton finished cementing well only 20 hours before the explosion. A previous cementing job by Halliburton on an Australian oil rig was was implicated as a possible cause of the explosion there that sent oil spewing for 74 days!!!! http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=126536457
BP sent workers from Schlumberger the well head testing company home 11 hours before the explosion "without performing a final check http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/20/bp-smoking-gun-oil-giant_n_583590.html"
Halliburton donates $17,000 to candidates running for federal office, giving money to several lawmakers on committees that have launched inquiries into the massive spill. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0610/38047.html
BP hired a former spokeswoman for Vice President Dick Cheney to be its public face for the disaster. Anne Womack Kolton, former head of public affairs at the Department of Energy and Cheney's onetime campaign press secretary, will take the baton from BP this week. http://rawstory.com/rs/2010/0601/bp-hires-cheney-spokeswoman-lead-pr-effort/

Frugal Low Carb Diet?
With all the reports of an obesity epidemic I want to avoid the sedentary lifestyle and associated health risks. So, as well as being a frugal guy, I'm also active in the gym. At times, this leads to something of a challenge.
Most of the cheap foods that I can really save money on are carbohydrates. There is nothing wrong with that, per se, but I'm going to be cutting my carbs. For my current dietary experiment I'm going to have carbs at breakfast time, but then I'll stay near zero carbs the rest of the day.
The theory here is that I won't be doing an Atkins style diet, such that I won't worry about ketosis, but that I'll keep insulin levels low for most of the day. This should result in conditions that make it difficult for my body to store circulating fats.
The problem?
Protein is expensive! I'll have to eat meats, cheeses, eggs and various other low carb foods including healthy fats.
While shopping yesterday I picked up a few items that will help me stick with cheaper meats. So, as well as the spices I always keep in the kitchen, I've added various low carb salad dressings. I find these can be less expensive than similar marinades and sauces located further down the aisle. As an example, one of the dressings I picked up is bacon and roasted onion flavor. I expect that might be good with the chicken thighs that I've stocked up on.
A couple other basic ideas are pickles and mustard. Pickles are very low carb and are great to eat before your regular meal as fillers. I am finding that the garlic pickles provide a filling sensation without activating my sweet tooth. Mustard, on the other hand, is something that can last a long time as only a little bit is really needed at a time. It's great with most cuts of beef - including ground beef.
Anyhow, while this dietary experiment will end up costing me more in terms of grocery expenses, it's what I've decided to do. So, now my job is to find frugal ways to support this plan. Frugality isn't simply denying yourself things, it's also about finding inexpensive ways to support your lifestyle choices.
Any frugal low carb tips or tricks you'd like to share?
Note: Included in this week's festival of frugality.

Submitted: 02/21/2013
- As early as next week we could finally have a decision about iron mining in Northern Wisconsin.The Legislature's finance committee will meet Monday in Madison to vote on the mining bill.If it passes, it would be easier for Gogebic Taconite to build an open pit mine south of Lake SuperiorGovernor Scott Walker proposed the bill last January. He said it will create more jobs for the state. Currently the Republican Party Controls both the Senate, and the assembly, which means the bill will likely pass. Those against the bill worry a mine will pollute nearby water, or even Lake Superior itself. If you want to add your two cents to the mining debate, head to Merrill tonight.Frank Koehn of Ashland and other guests will give presentations and open the floor to discussion on mining.The program is free and open to the public.It starts at 6:30 this evening at the T.B.

NFL star wide receiver Wes Welker's turf sprinter Undrafted put the finishing touches on preparations for a trip to Newmarket next month with a clear victory in the June 7 Jaipur Invitational Stakes (gr. IIT) at Belmont Park.
The 4-year-old Purim gelding, conditioned by three-time Royal Ascot-winning trainer Wesley Ward, is now set to contest the Darley July Cup (Eng-I) after covering the Jaipur's six furlongs in 1:07.24, a time just .37 of a second off the course record. He will be a rare challenger from the United States for the July 12 race at the same distance.
Undrafted has made 12 of 14 career starts for Welker. The Jaipur, in which he turned the tables on familiar opponent Marchman, was his first stakes win among a 4-1-5 record. In his start prior to the Jaipur, he finished second to Marchman in the Twin Spires Turf Sprint (gr. III) May 2 at Churchill Downs. He has a lifetime bankroll of $362,040.
Undrafted is so named because Welker, a star with the Denver Broncos, was initially not selected at the pre-season NFL draft despite having a successful college football career.
"Wes has told me that he will be there," Ward said. "Undrafted is really coming into his own now (as a 4-year-old) and I couldn't wish for a better horse to bring over. He is much better than Cannonball (saddled by Ward to a second-place finish in the 2009 Golden Jubilee Stakes (Eng-I) at Royal Ascot).
"It's going to be a big adventure and we know that we are taking on a big task across the pond but Undrafted is an extremely sound horse with no physical issues and everything looks golden for us to go over with a big chance of winning," the trainer continued. "We plan to ship him over to England as close to the race as possible, and it is such a peaceful and tranquil place I am sure that it will suit him."

A Shelf Talk post called Viewing History with a tightly focused lens looked at the growing popularity of history books that focus on a single thing–salt, baseball bat, pencil–and trace its impact (huge, according to the author) over time. Our reviewer dubbed this genre "mono-history" and several readers were quick to mention that the term "microhistory" is often used to describe these readable histories of singular things.
As a counterpoint to the tightly focused microhistory books, I would point out that the sprawling wide-angled lens history books–macrohistory, anyone?–have not breathed their last gasp. Here are a few, old and new, that have grabbed my attention recently:
Big History: From the Big Bang to the Present by Cynthia Stokes Brown
This readable book is an ambitious, exciting history of Earth, from its origins to the development of civilizations to the spread of computers. I brought this book on vacation, and I have to admit that I felt a bit smug that I was learning about 13.7 billion years of history–all in one volume! Not even too long of a volume. (Okay, it didn't go into each year in depth…).
The Mental Floss History of the World: An Irreverent Romp through Civilization's Best Bits by Erik Sass
Mental Floss bills itself as the magazine "where knowledge junkies get their fix" for interesting facts and trivia. The magazine editors have produced a number of interesting books including this "irreverent romp" through 60,000 years of human history, filled with fascinating facts, big and small.
A Short History of Nearly Everything by Bill Bryson
With his trademark humor and entertaining style, Bryson tackles a vast subject: the history of life on earth. The focus is on the physical history of the planet more than the rise and fall of civilizations. Bryson, in his chatty way, introduces us to key scientists and their discoveries about planet earth and its life forms.
Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies by Jared Diamond
This sweeping account of trends which led to European dominance in recent human history makes a compelling, thought-provoking and highly readable case for environment as opposed to biology.
And finally, although I started off this post as an ode to the Macrohistory, I still can't resist including my favorite Microhistory book:
A Perfect Red: Empire, Espionage and the Quest for the Color of Desire by Amy Butler Greenfield
The author traces the intriguing (and surprisingly large) impact of red dye on world history. When Spanish Conquistadores discovered a red dye made from ground insect shells being sold in the Aztec marketplaces of Mexico in 1519, this set off a global competition – complete with spies, pirates and scientists – to obtain the material, for it was far superior to the pale red dye that was prone to fading and running that was in use at the time in Europe.
So, what about you? Do you have any favorite "history of everything" books? Or favorite history books of any stripe? Please share!

A young artist badly in need of money bluffs her way through an interview into a job she is not prepared for.
To succeed, she must make room in her life for two people: Curtis, a deaf architect who has sworn he will never date a hearing woman, and thirteen-year-old Alex, profoundly deaf, rebellious, bold, and frightened.
With sign language–nimble and evocative–at its center, Turn On the Light So I Can Hear is about reaching across distances, the transformative powers of art, and finding a place to belong.
Here's what the reviewers have to say:
Teri Kanefield has done a beautiful job of including art and family along with the struggles of youngsters and their teachers, families and interpreters as they try to make the world their own. The sculptures and paintings come alive in all their colors as the story develops…….
I loved this book. I didn't stop reading from page one to the end. Normally I don't like jumping from the past to the present and back and forth over and over. But in this book it worked perfectly. I don't think the book would have worked any other way.
This book was amazing. I couldn't believe how vividly I could imagine the ASL symbols. The raw emotion in all of the characters was refreshing and honest and hit home the ever-lasting question of where one fits in. Loved it.
A very enjoyable read, I found the insights into the deaf culture to be particularly interesting. Thirteen year old Alex was a very sympathetic character and I especially loved the romance between Curtis and Bretna. Would recommend, can't wait for her next book.
The writing, particularly the backstory about the troubled family, was good and easy to follow. The characters were quirky and very real. I highly recommend this novel.

YOLO of the Day: Kids Snorting Condoms on YouTube
YouTube challenges and pranks keep getting weirder and weirder. The latest bizarre daredevil video challenge known as "Condom Challenge" involves inserting a condom into one's nostril and snorting it back through the throat to be coughed out of the mouth. This dangerous stunt has drawn a lot of attention in the past week, especially after teenager Amber-Lyn Strong uploaded a video recording of herself performing the trick which has since gone viral on the popular video-sharing site. Let's hope no one wins a Darwin award over this one.
