Today, most children in the United States lead much healthier lives and parents live with much less anxiety and worry over infections during childhood. Immunizations are one of the success stories of modern medicine.

Diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis vaccine (DTaP) can help prevent these diseases. Most children who are vaccinated with DTaP will be protected throughout childhood. Many more children would get these diseases if we stopped vaccinating.

Functional websites and blogs for small business owners that do more than just look pretty.
(though they're great at that too)
Hi! I'm Erin and I've been making websites for 14 years. I work with small businesses and professional bloggers to make kick-ass websites that WORK and are easy to update and manage on your own.
I design around the goals you have for your website or blog; selling products, gaining readers, or anything else you have in mind, and then I design your website to help you reach those goals.
I can even create custom training videos for you on how to use your new website so you don't have to spend hours scratching your head and struggling with updates. Having a website shouldn't be stressful–it should be fun, and it should lighten your workload (not increase it!). Let me help you take your business or blog to the next level!

The problem with the DQ's Friday wasn't all the fault of the officials. 2011 was an especially short season. Not enough time to get young kids swimming legal strokes in 4 weeks. Kids that didn't have legal strokes shouldn't have been in the event.
says ... on Saturday, Jul 16 at 4:26 PM
How can it be fun, when theses kids are disqualified in droves, then not told when it happens, or why. Being strict is O.K. but being told in advance that they are going to be disqualified by an inept fake referee, ridiculous. you are destroying this
says ... on Monday, Jul 20 at 9:24 AM
i swim for 11-12 girls but i will be moving up to 13-14 next year.....city swim was really fun, but the officials were way to strict this year. they disqualified a whole heat of 8 and unders for the same thing. they shouldnt be so strict next year

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" is also the injured guy.
"Dancing With the Stars" producers say the TV personality is receiving medical attention Tuesday after he was hurt during his most recent performance. No other details were provided. Nye and his professional dance partner performed a paso doble routine on Monday's episode that received 17 out of 30 possible judges' points. Injuries have been fairly common during the show's 17 seasons. Olympian Misty May-Treanor had to withdraw from the show after tearing her Achilles tendon during rehearsals. Melissa Gilbert gave herself whiplash and a mild concussion during a high-energy paso doble last year.

3D Field Flow is an exploration of invisible space, fluid flow, thermodynamics and dynamical systems. Empty space surrounds us, however is this space really empty? The space around us is governed by the rules of thermodynamics and physics and shows some interesting behavior when simulated and visualized in 3D.

Q. We've been married for four years and only make love once every two months. Every night, my husband says he's tired or it's been a rough day -- but I know what kind of day he had because we work together. I know he's interested in other women -- he gets excited when he spots someone appealing on the street. Every night he does a solo with himself when he thinks I'm asleep. But for me, he's always too tired. What can I do to get him interested?
Sallie Foley, MSW, co-author of Sex Matters for Women: A Complete Guide to Taking Care of Your Sexual Self (Guilford Press), answers:
A. Your concern is important. Let's begin with your question, "What can I do to get him interested?" Even though it might seem that your job is to get him to look your way, stop for a moment and take stock of how you are feeling about yourself. When was the last time you pampered yourself, got together with a good friend, or did something that you truly enjoy? Making sure that you aren't putting yourself down is a great place to start.
Being your own best girlfriend includes not taking all the blame on yourself. You know that a good relationship isn't going to be based on just "seeing each other at the business." You want more love in your life together. The next step is to begin talking to each other, working together on your relationship. Couples go through times of ups and downs in sexual passion. When a couple hits a lull, they need to sit down and talk honestly about what they think is missing. Do you need more touching and cuddling? Has sex gotten too routine? Are there problems outside the bedroom that are getting in the way of you being close? This kind of honest communication takes more than one discussion, so be persistent. The only real route to intimacy is through honesty with each other.
Next step? When the two of you identify what isn't working, make a plan and begin, step by step, to tackle the issues. Make sure to be positive with each other -- about a five-to-one ratio of praise to criticism is a good mix. Finally, as sex therapists, we often recommend that people masturbate in order to understand how their bodies work. If he's "going solo" when he thinks you're asleep, be honest and tell him you're not sleeping. Ask him to tell you and show you how he likes to be touched. Let him know you're comfortable with teaching him more about your body too. Since the two of you work together, remember, "all work and no play makes Jack and Jill feel dull."

Review: The Playboy of the Western Railway, by Malcom Wheatham
4:31pm Thursday 28th July 2011 in Book reviews By Allan Tunningley
THE PLAYBOY OF THE WESTERN RAILWAY, Malcolm Wheatman, £9.99
KENDAL writer Malcolm Wheatman's humorous novel shunts nicely along like the train that links the two fictional south-west Ireland communities he has created.
His comical characters are led by Samuel Donnelly, whose two ambitions — to create the aforementioned rail link and marry the local librarian — are pursued with singleminded determination.
However, the track to true love never runs smooth and Donnelly finds himself encountering potentially disastrous pitfalls.
Rib tickling and eminently readable, if rather on the long side at 460 pages.

USA men win opener in record fashion
KAZAN, Russia - The 2013 USA Basketball Men's World University Games Team (1-0) opened its play in the 2013 World University Games with a record-setting 140-46 win over United Arab Emirates (0-1) that saw three players record double-doubles and a total of nine U.S. players reach double-digit scoring on Sunday evening at Basket Hall 1 in Kazan, Russia.
Led by a USA Men's World University Games single-game record 13 assists from Yogi Ferrell (Indiana/Indianapolis, Ind.), who also finished with 15 points and four steals, the Americans established three U.S. single-game team records in the lopsided win, including 36 assists, 70 rebounds and 39 attempted 3-pointers.
Jumping to a 14-3 lead in the first 3:37, the USA forced 22 turnovers overall and had control throughout the game.
"One of the great joys of coaching is playing 40 minutes, and these guys gave us that joy tonight because we played consistently from start to finish," said USA head coach Bob McKillop (Davidson College). "We started fast, we finished strong."
Sean Kilpatrick (Cincinnati/Yonkers, N.Y.) led the USA with 18 points; Aaron White (Iowa/Strongsville, Ohio) had 16 points; while Doug McDermott (Creighton/Ames, Iowa) and Will Sheehey (Indiana/Stuart, Fla.) added 15 apiece; Spencer Dinwiddie (Colorado/Woodland Hills, Calif.) contributed 11 points to go with his eight assists; and Treveon Graham (VCU/Temple Hills, Md.) scored 13 points and grabbed nine rebounds.
Tallying double-doubles along with Ferrell were Cory Jefferson (Baylor/ Killeen, Texas) with 14 points and 11 boards and Alex Kirk (New Mexico/Los Alamos, N.M.) with 10 points and 12 rebounds.
"Everyone on this team can score, and that's an advantage," Kilpatrick said. "We have the best players in the USA as of right now, and it was good to come down here with these guys and play this game. Everyone on this team plays the game the right way. When you've got guys that share the ball this well, then it's very special."
The USA took an 18-point, 24-6 lead in the first quarter after a Graham put-back at 4:23. From there, however, United Arab Emirates (UAE) managed for a few minutes to nearly keep pace with the USA to close the quarter 10-11, and the scoreboard read 35-16 at the end of the first period.
After a bucket from UAE to start the second stanza, a score from Jefferson at 9:02 was the beginning of the USA's largest run of the game, a 15-0 spurt that included four points apiece from Dinwiddie and White, and the USA led 50-18 with a White free throw at 6:39. The red, white and blue limited UAE to just two field goals and one made free throw for the remainder of the first half, while it put up 19 more points to lead 69-23 at halftime.
The USA continued to push the pace, and the third quarter featured a crowd-pleasing display of dunks, including a behind-the-back assist from Luke Hancock (Louisville/ Roanoke, Va.) to Graham, while White recorded three of the USA's final four scores of the period with two alley-oop dunks. The last one at 20.5 broke the triple-digit mark for the USA, which led 100-34 heading into the final quarter.
"We know what the goal is, and we want gold," Jefferson said. "It wasn't just playing a team, it was playing a game of basketball to get our team ready and get in the right step. We played well."
In its highest-scoring period of the game, the USA put up 40 points in the last 10 minutes, including 12 and 11 points, respectively from Indiana teammates Ferrell and Sheehey. UAE managed just 12 points in the quarter, and the USA cruised in for the 140-46 win.
UAE saw Saleh Zuwayed Khalifa finish with 14 points for his side.
Also today in the USA's Group D, Finland (1-0) beat Chile (0-1) 71-52 and Lithuania (1-0) topped Norway (0-1) 94-71. In Group A, Estonia (1-0) edged Germany (0-1) 65-59, Russia (1-0) easily downed Oman (0-1) 117-24 and South Korea (1-0) survived Ukraine (0-1) 100-98. In Group B, Mexico (1-0) won against Japan (0-1) 83-71, Romania (1-0) beat Philippines (0-1) 106-58 and Serbia (1-0) topped Mongolia (0-1) 110-56. Finally, Group C saw Brazil (1-0) record a 107-65 win over China (0-1), Australia (1-0) beat Czech Republic (0-1) 85-57 and Canada (1-0) defeat Sweden (0-1) 84-69.
The USA will continue preliminary round play against Czech Republic at 1 p.m. (times listed are local; Kazan, Russia, is +8 hours from EDT) on July 8; followed by Sweden at 9 p.m. on July 10; Australia at 6:30 p.m. on July 11; and Canada at 1 p.m. on July 12.
Following the preliminary round, the first and second-placed teams in each of the four pools advance to the medal quarterfinals on July 14 to compete for first through eighth places; while the remaining teams will play out for ninth to 24th places. The semifinals will be played on July 15, and the finals will be contested on July 16.
Assisting McKillop on the USA sideline are John Beilein of the University of Michigan and Frank Martin of the University of South Carolina.
The USA is looking for its first gold medal at the World University Games men's basketball competition since 2005, and currently holds a 139-9 all-time record in World University Games play.
The USA women's team will open pool play Monday against Mali. Nebraska senior Jordan Hooper of Alliance is a member of the USA team.

We had a terriic afternoon on this excursion. Our guide Vasili was wonderful. He was kind to my elderly mother, explained things clearly, and made the day enjoyable. The Matisse Museum was nice, but the Chagall was really spectacular. And the Villa Ephrussi felt like a trip back in time. It was amazing.
Doing what: Nice Art Tour: Chagall Museum, Matisse Museum and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
This was the best money spent. There is so much to see in Nice and on this bus you don't feel rushed. We went once in a loop then took it again to the places we wanted stop off at. Don't miss the Chagall and Matisse museums along the way.
Doing what: Nice Hop-On Hop-Off Tour
Our guide met us at our hotel on time. She was quite knowledgeable about the area, giving us some history of Nice during the drive to our destinations. At the end of the afternoon, she gave us a recommendation for a French Bistro in Nice, which turned out to be outstanding.
The tour itself of the Chagall and Matisse Museums met all expectations, although I would have liked more time at the Chagall Museum. I felt a little rushed to stay on schedule for the trip to the Villa Ephrussi. The gardens there were spectacular, and I enjoyed them more than the gardens at Versailles. All in all, we spent a lovely afternoon.
Doing what: Nice Art Tour: Chagall Museum, Matisse Museum and the Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild
It might have been better if we had the driver originally due to take us the guided tour, and though the substitute driver was pleasant and tried his best on a day that rained non stop, we had no explanation about the art forms and were merely delivered to the Chagall and Matisse Museums and told to return to the minibus at such and such a time. In addition, the minibus broke down and we did not get to go to the Villa Ephrussi. We are still waiting for a partial refund from the tour operator, Liven Up.

One more thing about a traffic problem. When I walked into our newsroom this afternoon the first thing I said was, "Who is the moron that told a movie crew they could shut down parts of lower Michigan Avenue, Wacker, and Columbus in the middle of a weekday afternoon? And I'm still asking the question tonight.
The movie is the third Dhoom film--a Bollywood export. They'll be shooting here all week along with another shoot at the same time at Dearborn and Kinzie--for a new NBC series called "Chicago Fire." The after-lunch traffic around Streeterville, the Navy Pier, and Michigan and Wacker was miserable.
There was no advanced warning this was going to happen. Not even a mention during the mess on any radio traffic report. I know because I was in my car wondering if the president had decided to make a last minute trip to the Billy Goat.
I'm all for more productions using our great city as a location. It's good for the economy here, gives the terrific Chicago IBEW, IATSE, and teamsters some work, and it's fun to see. But if they're not shooting in the middle of the night or early Sunday morning (hey, some of us are trying to get to work around here), then how about a little advance notice!

The Lord Of The Rings (Set Of 3 Titles) is a collection of all the three books in J.R.R. Tolkien's epic trilogy about Sauron, a Dark Lord, and his quest of a magical, all-powerful ring.
Summary Of the Book
The Lord Of The Rings (Set Of 3 Titles) is a set of the three titles in Tolkien's bestselling high fantasy series. The novel is divided into a total of three volumes, spanning six books, two per volume.
The novel is set in a fictional universe called middle-earth. A Dark Lord named Sauron harbors the ambition to conquer and reign over all of middle-earth. He creates a powerful ring called the One Ring to control the Rings Of Power, several magical rings created under Sauron's guidance. Sauron is the main antagonist in the novel, and the titular character of the series as well.
In The Hobbit, the prequel to The Lord Of The Rings, the One Ring leaves Sauron's hand. The Lord Of The Rings covers Sauron's quest to reclaim the One Ring coupled with the continued efforts of the West to foil his ambitious plans.
The first volume is titled The Fellowship Of The Ring. It begins at Bag End with the birthday celebrations of the hobbit Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo leaves all his possessions to Frodo, his adopted heir. Frodo eventually learns that the ring he received as part of his legacy is actually the powerful One ring belonging to Sauron. On the advice of a wizard named Gandalf, Frodo sets out on a mission to ensure the safety of the ring. Several hobbits, dwarves, wizards, and elves join hands to keep the ring from falling into Sauron's hands.
The second volume, The Two Towers, focuses on the betrayal of a wizard named Saruman, who switches to the Dark side and pledges his allegiance to Sauron. Subsequently, Frodo travels east with the ring, and unwittingly walks into danger.
In the third and final volume, The Return Of The King, the journey of the ring culminates in a decisive showdown that could result in the victory of good over evil, or it could backfire and the dark forces could end up conquering all. This volume contains many appendices that provide a wealth of background information on the story.
The Lord Of The Rings was first released in 1954. With sales of over 150 million copies, it is the third best-selling novel ever. It has been translated into numerous languages and has also been reprinted several times over. Its film, theater, and radio adaptations have won numerous awards. The book continues to form the basis of a variety of ancillary products in the form of video games, artwork, music, and more.
About J.R.R. Tolkien
J.R.R. Tolkien was an English author, professor, philologist, and poet.
He is best known for his epic fantasy works The Hobbit, The Lord Of The Rings, and The Silmarillion. Some of his other works include The Lonely Isle, The Sorrowful City, Farmer Giles Of Ham, Leaf by Niggle, and Smith Of Wootton Major.
His writing was greatly influenced by Old English literature, poetry, mythology, and Catholic theology. With the revival of his works, he is now posthumously considered the Father of the high fantasy genre.
Tolkien was born John Ronald Reuel Tolkien on January 3, 1982, in Bloemfontein, South Africa. He was married to Edith Bratt, and the couple had four children. Tolkien passed away on September 2, 1973. In 2008, he appeared at the sixth spot on The Times list of The 50 Greatest British Writers since 1945.

Assuming that i have not heard how great and amazing this book is , i would still say that this book is great.To be honest i find it even more nice after watching the movies, but oviously thats now how a book should be read.If u like harry potter u will like this ( on the basis of imagination.)However these 3 books are better written than harry potter.
I just ordered the books after seeing the price as I was saving for long and seeing the price hike during Diwali was disappointing. A recent read of 'The Hobbit' is what encouraged ignited my interest in Middle Earth despite my busy schedule of late. Also, HarperCollins is releasing a new boxed set edition which includes 'The Hobbit' by December. Interested buyers should check that out as well.

I don't need to tell you that LOTR is amazing, awesome, takes you to another world of fantasy etc. You know it. What i can say is this edition of LOTR with ISBN-13 code - 9780261102385, is the best with original cover and map designs from Tolkien. You can say that it's a special edition in a way. With the price range from 500-1200 this is the best offer you'll get, cause the cheaper ones may be concise editions.

"Roman Candle" turns 20: Secrets of Elliott Smith's accidental masterpiece (slideshow)
Elliott and the friends with whom he recorded in middle school in Texas (photo courtesy of Dan Pickering)
Topics: Mitt Romney, 2012 Elections, Ann Romney, News, Politics News
With his presidential campaign manufacturing outrage over Hillary Rosen's remark that Ann Romney had "never worked a day in her life," the folks at MSNBC's "Up with Chris" unearthed some great quotes illustrating Mitt Romney's old-time double-talk.
"I happen to believe that all moms are working moms," he harrumphed to the National Rifle Association on Friday, in response to the Rosen mess. But earlier this year in New Hampshire, Romney said he'd like to toughen our already strict federal welfare rules to send mothers into the workforce as soon as possible.
"I wanted to increase the work requirement," Romney said in January. "I said, for instance, that even if you have a child two years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, 'Well that's heartless,' and I said 'No, no, I'm willing to spend more giving daycare to allow those parents to go back to work. It'll cost the state more providing that daycare, but I want the individuals to have the dignity of work." (By backing the Ryan budget, by the way, Romney would also reduce or eliminate the funding for childcare that he claims to believe is essential.)
But wait: Ann Romney said her husband told her "more times than I can imagine, 'Ann, your job is more important than mine.'" Yet poor mothers need "the dignity of work?"
There are plenty of good reasons to help poor mothers into the workforce. For many women, welfare was an invaluable safety net they used to get back on their feet while raising children alone. For others, particularly in cut off low-income communities with few opportunities, it maintained women and their children in a grinding poverty and isolation that could become inter-generational.
Concern about a so-called "culture of dependency" led first Republicans and then Democrats to back work requirements for welfare recipients, initially for mothers without young children. But Republicans crusaded to make the rules came to apply to women with infants. As Romney said in 1994, "we will do everything in our power to make sure that people who are on welfare have an opportunity and an obligation to go to work, not after two years but from day one if we could."
From Day One. Maybe a brief stop at a hospital to deliver the baby, and then back to work? The conservative Concerned Women for America said this week that motherhood is "the most important job there is." I wonder if they'll be chastising Romney for his anti-motherhood approach to poverty. Of course not.

The next day was a sea day and ended up being really excited for the captain picked up 4 cuban refuges. Our room overlooked the rescue and we were able to see that the boat they were on was made of inter tubes with a tarp over them and all their possessions were in a trash bag. Not sure how long they were at sea. On the 6th night the caption saw another boat that had USA spay painted on it but when we got closer it was empty. Very sad that these people are trying desperately to leave their country that they risk their lives to cross the ocean.
The food was really delicious and the menus are great. The portion size was also perfect and you can always order two meals if you can't decide what to get. Our family has food allergies and they take it really seriously. We got to order the night before and they check out all the ingredients to make sure the food was ok to eat for the next day. They even have glutton free bread and it was really good. We found the servers to be top notch and very hardworking and professional. Disney did a wonderful job training its crew.
The room was beautifully decorated and clean. You don't need to bring shampoo or conditioner for they supply it in each room. The blow dryer worked great - I guess Disney heard the complaints from the Dream and did a great job finding the right voltage. Remember to plug it into the round slot for it to work at full capacity.
Our son loved the Edge. He is 13 and was able to go to Vibe but he enjoyed playing with the younger kids. He had a blast and we did not see him the entire cruise except for dinner. The wave phones in the room were great. We were able to reach him at any time and his friends were texting him too so they could meet up.
My husband and I joined the boot camp each morning at 9 and got a great workout on the basket ball court. They worked us hard for 30 minutes but it allowed us to eat as much as we wanted without gaining weight. The gym was small and really crowded in the mornings. No body was in the gym in the afternoon so that would be the best time to go.
The adult areas were really nice and not very crowded. If you don't have kids you would never even know there were kids on board if you stayed in those areas. Loved hanging out in the waterfall adult pool.
The movie theater had great movies showing including Avengers and Cars2 in 3D The surround sound was amazing. We played miniature golf, and the muppet scavenger hunt was so much fun. We were all over the ship looking for clues. Only went to see the play Wishes but watched the others in the stateroom on tv. Excellent!
Did not like the laundry room for very difficult to figure out how to run the machines. The dryers don't get things dry so purchase the longest time.
We did not get off at the first three ports but had the entire ship to ourselves. We rode the aqua duck again three times for no lines. We purchased a spa pass for $16 a day and had access to the rainforest showers, hot tubs and heated chairs.
Disney also did a great job with organizing the photos. You can see them on the computer and also in folders on a bookshelf. No more looking on a wall to try to find your face.
We had an amazing time and highly recommend this cruise to everyone. It was so much fun and wish we were still there!

Los Angeles, Calif. - The UFC's breakthrough reality show "The Ultimate Fighter" gears up once again for its eighth season premiering tonight on Spike TV. Current interim UFC heavyweight champion Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and former UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir will both be featured as coaches this season and after completing an interview last week with Nogueira, FiveOuncesOfPain.com was also afforded the opportunity to speak with Mir.
While Mir was made available in order to promote TUF, he was more than willing to discuss everything and anything MMA in what proved to be an intriguing interview. During the course of the conversation we asked Mir to share his thoughts on the recent return of Randy Couture, the surprise upset win of Rashad Evans over Chuck Liddell, his experiences being on the show and the motorcycle accident that nearly ended his career.
As any regular fan of the UFC, WEC, or ESPN's "MMA Live" knows, Mir's ability to convey his thought and opinions is second to none and in this one-on-one interview with 5 Oz.'s he was never at a loss for words.
Gary Ibarra: The publisher of FiveOuncesOfPain.com recently wrote a piece about ESPN's reaction to UFC 88 the upset victory of Rashad Evans over Chuck Liddell. He said that he was all set to write a piece chastising ESPN for its lack of coverage but was pleasantly surprised when SportsCenter aired a ringside satellite segment with Joe Rogan and Mike Goldberg breaking down the fight and discussing the outcomes. How much effect do you think a show like TUF has on the perception of MMA to the mainstream sports media and the public in general who watch the show?
Frank Mir: I think the show goes a long way towards humanizing the sport and the guys. By having the cameras in the house it acts as sort of a window into the real lives of the people who take the sport seriously, and how they really are when they are not in the ring, they're mostly just regular kids. I mean let's face it, the public's perception of MMA is not exactly fantastic. Every time guys like Tank Abbot or Krazy Horse (Charles Bennett) fought or even now with Kimbo Slice; every time Kimbo fights it sets the sport back. Guys like that just reinforce the idea in the public's eye that we are all blood thirsty barbarians who just want to pummel each other and that there is no skill required. Guys like them do the sport a disservice.
Gary Ibarra: While the formula of the show usually involves playing up some of the confrontations between members of the cast and a little trash talking between the coaches as I'm sure this season was no different, how does it feel to go back and forth with someone whom you've said previously is like an idol to you?
Frank Mir: Anyone who's expecting to see any animosity or back-and-forth between me and Noguiera, as is usually the case between coaches on the show, is going to be extremely disappointed. There wasn't any of that. Sure there were times when I didn't like him just as much as I'm sure there were times he didn't like me, but we let our guys do the fighting for us. We definitely fought vicariously through them this season.
Gary Ibarra: This season I'm sure there are several fighters who you saw that have the potential to make a a career in MMA. But was there any one fighter that you can talk about who you saw that you thought immediately "That guy is going to make it"?
Frank Mir: That's what I would say is the difference between this season's cast and the previous casts: the talent level; there is a lot of depth here this season. So much so that I've even pulled training partners to help me prepare for my fight with Noguiera. The number of guys that you'll see on undercards and prelims in the UFC is a definitely high with this group. I would go as far as to say its actually easier for me to pick out the guys who won't make it just because there were so few of them, I would definitely put this season's 16 guys against any of the other 16 from previous seasons.
Gary Ibarra: The list of people who were contestants or who have been coaches previously reads like an A list in the UFC: Liddell, Couture, Ortiz, Shamrock, Penn, Pulver, Griffin, and Jackson to name a few. Most of these guys are surefire Hall of Famers. Do you think adding Mir to this list means that you will be there as well?
Frank Mir: Yeah, I would say I will. Obviously it's going to depend on my next couple of performances, but I do think my name belongs with those others, absolutely.
Gary Ibarra: You've been training martial arts almost your entire life, was it difficult for you to become a coach?
Frank Mir: No, not really. My dad owned a martial arts school and I've been training my whole life so it wasn't that much of a stretch. I love martial arts. I like learning new things myself. I'm always sharpening my skills and trying to get better so I liked the teaching aspect of the show.
Gary Ibarra: What would it mean to you to have this season's winner come from your team?
Frank Mir: It would be satisfying, no doubt, but I couldn't take too much credit for it. All we as coaches do is impart the knowledge to the best of our ability but it's up the fighter once he's in the ring to use that knowledge. Obviously I'd be happy if it was my guy, but I could never attribute another fighter's performance to myself. I can say that one thing I didn't count on that happened was the emotional attachment to the guys. You see a good kid lose and it bothers you. I definitely took it home with me some nights.
Gary Ibarra: Was there anything you could say you didn't like about your experience on the show? Or was there anything you'd like to change about the show itself?
Frank Mir: The only thing I didn't like is the way the preliminary fights are chosen. I'm not sure there's much though put into it beforehand. It was more like "Okay, where's the list? Okay, now you fight you and you fight you and you fight you." It upset me a little because I would see two guys that were really great fighters have to fight each other in order to get in the house and then two guys who were not so good be put against each other. And I'm thinking if these two good guys both fought those two not so good guys, that would ensure we got the best talent into the house. I think there should have been a little better process to determine who fights who in the prelims.
Gary Ibarra: The show's validation in the world of MMA is no longer questionable with the rise of alums like Rashad Evans, Forrest Griffin, and Kenny Florian to name a few, what do you foresee as the next step in the growth of MMA?
Frank Mir: I see its growth in popularity only continuing, eventually to the point that boxing had in when it was at its highest point. The only reason it hasn't reached that point already is the stigma attached to the term "Cage Fighter." The powers that be may be from a different generation, one that sees the sport as a novelty or having little or no value, but once those people who have that idea are gone you'll see the sport rise to where it should be. It's just going to take time.
Gary Ibarra: Your leg injury in 2004 caused people to question weather or not you'd even keep your leg let alone fight again, did you ever question weather or not you'd ever recover?
Frank Mir: Absolutely, I took my first fight back after my injury knowing that I wasn't ready. I told myself, if I lose to (Marcio) Cruz, I already know in my mind that I wasn't ready and so I'd have an excuse for myself built in. And after I lost that's exactly what I did, I excused myself. My next fight I still didn't feel like I was 100% but I took the fight anyway and after that close win it was the same thing. But in the Vera fight I really felt like I was back to normal. I was squatting in the gym, jumping around on it(the leg), I thought I was back, and when I lost I really felt like I was done. I was convinced that was it. The accident had really ruined my career. I told my wife Jenny "That's it honey, I think its time to retire." To say she talked me out of it is putting it mildly. She really let me have it for even talking about quitting. But that was exactly what I needed. I credit her for my rededication to the sport, I wouldn't be here now if it wasn't for her.
Gary Ibarra: The injury would have been devastating to most people. It was a definite possibility that you may never fight again. How did the UFC react to their heavyweight champion being told that his career was in danger?
Frank Mir: They reacted the best way they knew how. They waited a lot longer for me then I would have in their position. They created an interim title. Bottom line is they gave me the opportunity to fight again, that's was all I could ask for.
Gary Ibarra: What did you think of the Evans vs. Liddell outcome?
Frank Mir: I think that Greg Jackson is the greatest trainer of all time.
Gary Ibarra: How did you feel when you heard about Randy Couture's return to the UFC?
Frank Mir: I was glad to hear it. Randy deserves to be in the UFC if he wants to be and I was just happy that all the legal back-and-forth ended and we get to see him fight again.
Gary Ibarra: And what did you think about him getting the fight against Lesnar right off the bat?
Frank Mir: The only problem I have with that decision by the UFC was that I think they should have waited for the outcome of my fight with 'Nog to decide who Randy would fight in his return. It would have been better for them to have Randy fight the winner of our fight in order to determine who the heavyweight champion should be. The current champion with the interim tag or the previous champion, that's what I would have done but it's not my decision.
Gary Ibarra: Noguiera is one of, if not the most experienced heavyweight champions in the UFC's history. He gives his opponents a lot to deal with his advanced ground game and ability to outlast his opponents even after sustaining major punishment. Can you give me any insight as to your game plan for fighting him?
Frank Mir: Anyone who goes for broke thinking that they've got 'Nog in trouble has ended up losing. It's that simple. He bates a lot of his opponents into basically punching themselves out; he outlasts them into the later rounds and finds a way to submit them after their exhausted. I know the fight will end up on the ground. His legs are so bad and I kick so heavy that there's no way he's going to want to stand with me. I just need to make sure I don't get gassed. Going into the later rounds is not something I'm used to which is what gives him an advantage. Our games are completely opposite of each other so it's going to be interesting.
Gary Ibarra: If you had the ability to fight anyone in the sport of mixed martial arts if weight and time were not a factor, which fighter — past of present — would you choose?
Frank Mir: Anderson Silva, definitely. His ability and his skill set is so diverse that he would definitely be someone I'd like to test my skills against.
Gary Ibarra: Would you ever come down in weight to fight him?
Frank Mir: (Laughing) I think I'll wait for him to come up.

Awesome interview. Frank Mir is one of the most respectable guys in MMA. He never avoids questions and is always willing to speak his mind in the most professional manner.
One of the best in MMA, no doubt.

Good interview. Loved the Anderson Silva part especially. Also Frank's honesty is a breath of fresh air. No canned replies here!

I have become a huge fan of Mir!! I think Melvin Guillard needs to learn from him! If u remember when Mir first jumped on the scene he was a cocky guy that loved running his mouth and didn't care what people thought and that almost killed him with his reckless accident! He came back a man who knew he was given a second shot at life and what he loves to do! He is great on WEC when commentating and loves the sport! God bless u frank
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
Frank is by far the most well spoken fighter in MMA, close second being Florian. When Frank does retire from MMA in general, they need to make him an announcer for not just the WEC but for the UFC as well, he definitely provides the most technical insight into fighting by far.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
Agree, Patrick – how great would it be to hear a fight called by Mir and Florian?
Agree or Disagree: 2 0
Kimbo Slice reminds me of the early years of the UFC,the minimal rules ,no time limit stuff.
That's why I'm looking forward to the Kimbo vs.Ken fight.
Nothing wrong with that.
Is that the same as setting the sport back?
Maybe,maybe not.
Either way,I'm happy Mir is BACK.
Now if only someone could teach Lesnar to call him 'Meer' and not 'Mur'.

That was excellent. Mir was thoughtful and interesting. The Anderson Silva reference was intriguing.

Great interview Gary. I really enjoyed it and it furthered my appreciation for Frank Mir as both a fighter and a great all around MMA guy.

Frank Mir has morphed into a class act, but he really needs to clean up his funk and wagnals on the WEC, please say HAS instead of gots.
Agree or Disagree: 1 0
I was very happy that Frank included Crazy horse in his list of things bad for MMA. That guy is a disgrace and the fact that Gary Shaw tried to make him an early star of EXC soured me forever. I do not respect any fighter that does not respect the sport.
Frank has become and excellent color man. I love how he can tell you what somone will do 3 moves ahead. Very intelligent and well spoken.

Congratulations on a great interview Gary. Mir possibly gives the best interviews of all MMA fighters. Definately in terms of honesty and articulation anyway.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Great interview, though curious that you would take the Kimbo comment – a throwaway comment at best! – and make it the article's headline.
Either way, I'm a big fan of Mir. He gives fantastic interviews. Thanks!
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
The fact that Mir has to mention Kimbo's name to get publicity says more about how popular Kimbo is rather than how bad he is for the sport.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
One of the many reasons I love the WEC is Frank Mir's commentating; he's a fighter so he knows what's usually going through their minds and will often tell Goldberg what the fighter should do to win or gain higher ground.
As the poster up above me said: "I love how he can tell you what somone will do 3 moves ahead."
Plus, TUF 8 should be righteous with Mir and 'Nog as coaches. I thought Rampage and Forrest was exciting but I feel this one will be outstanding.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Frank has turned quite the company man. The undisputed worst heavyweight title holder in history will fade after losing in December and then losing to Cain, Carwin, Gonzaga etc..
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Mir and florian wouldnt be as good as Mir and rogan.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Was never much of a Mir fan…..but anyone that will go out and speak the truth, I can respect. Him talking about Klice is great and it is true. MMA is not scripted beatings inflicted by a big guy with DECENT striking skills at best against SLOW, FAT, OLD, out of shape hand picked opponents

I love Mir.
But I hate that he says Guillotine without leaving the Ls silent.
Damn it! The word is french!
There's no L sound in there!

I think Mir got it wrong on the Kimbo comment…otherwise good interview.

mir is articulate and shows good insight but has never been a great heavyweight. nog will beat him then cain ,randy , gonzaga etc. and as for him claiming his right to be a hall of famer , i mean come on frank is planet mir outta control or what?, i remember ian freeman beating the living daylights out of him in his glory days. mir is average on a good day.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
frank is such a hater, i hope nog just destroys him
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
Mir's comments on how to fight Nog were pretty insightful. I don't know whether he'll win given Nog's ability to aborb punishment, recover and overcome. But the fact that Mir has thought about it suggests he has a game plan. His submission win over Lesnar tought me not to count him out.
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
I'd love to see the UFC commentary be elevated above, "He's rocked! He rocked him!"
And I like Joe Rogan & Mike Goldberg.
Bring back Jim Brown: "Right about now he's tappin' out which is a luxury that my first wife did not have back in '63. I told her 'you can run your mouth all you want – but you best recognize there aint no referee in my living room'."

Franks' a gud guy, I like him, I don't think he's the best commentator, he's good and I respect him because he's a fighter, much better than a non-mma fighter commentating. I don't think Frank is the fighter he was when he submitted Silva' but I'm glad he stuck with the sport and has re-risen to this level. He deserves this opportunity and I think he would make a great coach and should open up his own gym.

pokerface…thank you for that comment@!
my only critique of Mir is "he gots…"! it just kills me when I hear that. even more than my inability to hit caps!
Agree or Disagree: 0 0
oh…and he's right about Kimbo.
too bad he KTFO'd tank so quick, we could have forgotten about him months ago.
so many folks have worked so hard to present a legit product to the public and this fool and his handlers have access to the public airways.
hopefully ken will take his ass down and make him tap like a bitch.

How do no skill brawlers set the sport back? When they get into deeper waters, they either evolve into skilled fighters or they lose, legitimizing the sport as a "skill sport" in the process.
As for the comment about the blood thirsty barbarians… spare me. I love fighting and I have a ton of respect for the fighters as a whole, but please don't bullshit me by trying to imply that the majority of fighters or even athletes in general are "classy" professionals. Most of them are people with at least a little bit of a rough history in the character department. Fighters like Kimbo are no different from the majority of them in that regard.
