A motivated and driven Silva, vs. Sonnen minus the 16.9/1 ratio, will be a destruction of epic proportions. No one can talk about Barnett w/o mentioning PEDs, but Sonnen's best performance was the one he was juiced up for.
Silva by tornado kick in the 3rd.
I wouldn't be at all shocked if Silva does like Fedor did Silvia, and squash him in a few dozen seconds. That's assuming he doesn't decide to pound on him the length of the fight.
I'm having a hard time visualizing Sonnen dictating the course of this fight. He won't have the advantage of a huge testosterone flood in his system this time out...and Anderson's pissed.
I expect AS to try and hit or twist something on Sonnen once for every one of Brazil's millions and millions of mma fans. How much the guy can take, Who knows?

chael is an interesting guy. i hope the mean spirited things he said about the poor in brazil were not genuine. He's one of the few who fought silva without fear but having that tendency of getting subbed the same way over and over suggests some kind of serious mental weakness.

I know how this sounds, but Sonnen worked at a real estate agency with my Uncles mother in law in Oregon and she swears he's the type of guy to give the shirt off his back. Also, that he talked so much **** before the last fight to try and psyche himself out of the fear he had going into the fight. Not that it means anything.
Personally, I hope he wins just because I'd like to see Silva come back twice as hard! Ol leather face.
I am rather worried.
Last time Anderson took a fight really personally was the Maia fight.

It was a close match-up between a pair of athletes from football crazy schools, but blue topped maroon in a vote to decide a video game's cover.
Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson will appear on the cover of the next EA Sports NCAA Football game, the company announced Tuesday. Texas A&M wide receiver Ryan Swope was the other finalist.
EA Sports did not note the final numbers in a press release Tuesday, but said Robinson earned more than a quarter of a million votes in a "tense final vote."
"Want to thank everyone for all the support during the NCAA Cover vote process. It was a blessing and an honor to represent Texas A&M #GigEm," Swope tweeted Tuesday.
A&M and Michigan were among 126 schools that fans voted for on Facebook. The two eventually reached the finals after five rounds of voting.
Swope caught 24 touchdowns among his 252 receptions for 3,117 yards during his Aggie career. His candidacy was boosted by, among other things, a video he did with Aggie trick shot makers Dude Perfect.

The Pinewood Prep boys' basketball team defeated Northwood Academy 70-61 last Friday night to even their record to 8-8.
The Panthers also upped their region record to 2-1 with a win on the road in front of a packed house. Seniors J.D. Waite and Ryan Felder paced the Panthers with 16 points each and Jimmy Thomas added 13 while Reid Radebaugh and Ahmad Ray both scored 7. The Panthers pulled down a season-high 42 rebounds. Felder and Waite both had eight while Bobby Casey had seven.
Pinewood trailed 35-33 at halftime and fell behind by as much as 11 points early in the fourth quarter, but the Panthers finished strong to tally 25 points in the final quarter. Thomas had 10 fourth-quarter points and Felder had seven.
Coach Pat Eidson was impressed with the toughness his team showed in coming back for the win.
"We have really struggled on the offensive end this year, so it was great to see some guys step up and hit some big shots," Eidson said.
In the girls' game, Pinewood Prep proved too much for Northwood as the Lady Panthers picked up a 65-56 win.
Senior forward Brianna Boyd scored 19 points and fellow senior post Jenifer Rhodes added 13 and senior point guard Raygon Hendrix added 15.
Northwood junior guard Amber Campbell scored 36 points.
"We felt like coming in they didn't have an answer for our two inside players," Pinewood Prep coach Nancy Beatty said. "We knew if we got them going, we would be in good shape. We knew Amber would find a way to get her points. She got out on the break several times and hit some layups. We did a good job of limiting their other players and we were very efficient on offense."
At the end of the first quarter the game was tied at 14. In the second quarter the Panthers quickly opened up a 25-16 lead four minutes into the period. Northwood came back to 25-24, but Pinewood ended the quarter with a 32-26 lead.
Pinewood was ahead 57-45 near the end of the fourth quarter but Campbell wasn't finished and led an 11-1 run to cut the margin to 58-56 with 1:01 remaining in the game. The Lady Panthers, however, again had an answer. Pinewood scored the final seven points of the game.
"We'll likely play Northwood two more times this year, but this was certainly a huge win for us," Beatty said. "It's always good to win on the road and we knew how important this game was for both teams."
The two-time defending SCISA AAA state champions improved to 12-3 on the season. Northwood Academy dropped to 15-2.
The teams will meet again on Feb. 8 at Pinewood Prep.

HAZARD – One of Hazard's oldest existing structures remains on tap for demolition, though its removal from the streetscape will make room for up to five new houses on one of the city's most historic streets.
The old school on lower Broadway was built in 1912 and became the first public high school in Hazard. Thirteen years later, a new high school was added on Baker Street, while the school on Broadway became a grade school. During its lifetime, the building also served as the first home for Hazard Community College, and along with the administrative offices for the Hazard city schools, the Kentucky Valley Education Cooperative shared space there for a number of years.
The city school board in 2012 elected to auction off the building. It was purchased for $1,000 by the Housing Development Alliance, a non-profit organization in Perry County tasked with providing affordable housing to local residents. The building has been vacant since 2007 when the school board moved its administrative office to Main Street, and its condition has deteriorated during that time.
When the Alliance opted to purchase the property last year, the purchase came with the stipulation that the dilapidated building must be demolished. Officials hosted a public meeting in Hazard Wednesday evening, during which they heard from local residents about what they would like to see once the building is removed.
"Nobody at that meeting really voiced any opposition to demolishing the building," said Scott McReynolds, director of the Housing Development Alliance. "Everybody kind of agreed it was a shame the building was in such shape that it had to come down, but I think everybody agreed that it had to come down."
Since the building could potentially be listed as an historic property, there are certain guidelines the Alliance must meet before the old school can be destructed. Wednesday's meeting was a step in that direction to obtain input from the public, and much of the talk centered on what to do once the building is gone, McReynolds said.
The Housing Development Alliance will build four to five family houses on the property, and local residents did show some concern about how those new homes would complement existing structures in the neighborhood.
"We'll look at that, whether we can vary (designs), and obviously we don't want to build five houses that look exactly alike," McReynolds said, adding they will also try to incorporate some of the suggestions mentioned on Wednesday. One thing he noted about the new homes is that they will include street-level parking.
And though the building may be demolished, McReynolds said he expects the Alliance will hire an archivist to catalogue the building before any demolition is underway. There currently is no time frame for when that may begin.

Surfing Goes To The Dogs In Del Mar, Calif.
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Delmar is one of the most popular surfing spots here in southern California. And yesterday it went to the dogs with the Seventh Annual Dog Surfing competition. Hundreds of canines and their owners paddled out. And then the dogs rode the surfboards back to shore. The North County Times reports the event may have set a record with 14 dogs riding the same wave. And it may have, since there are no dog surfing records. It's MORNING EDITION.

When it comes to fishing in
And everything worked out just right for the "three amigos" from
What makes fishing in South Walton unique, is the boats launch right off the beach at Grayton behind the Red Bar restaurant. No docks or booking booths. Just the captain with the nose of his boat pushed up on the beach for you to jump aboard.
On Monday, three guys from
The three guys had their mind set that they wanted to catch a shark.
However, before they went looking for one, Capt. Pentel made sure they had plenty to eat. So fishing about eight miles out, they pulled in 30 vermillion snapper — also known as mingo or beeliners.
After they had caught their share of vermillion it was off to find a shark.
Captain said they hooked two before they got the third one in the boat.
Semro hooked the first one and fought it for about 10 minutes before it broke off.
"That thing was a fighter," Semro said.
As a matter of fact, captain said Semro had had his fill and was glad the shark got away.
Alfredo had the second one on the hook.
"It was over quick … it bit through the line," Capt. Pentel said.
However, the third one was the charm.
Grieser tangled with the 200-plus pound bull shark about 30 minutes on 40-pound test line.
"It was running … at one point it pulled me into the cooler," Grieser said.
"It was the battle of my life," he said as he posed for photos with the shark.
Once captain had all the fish cleaned and filleted, including the shark, the guys almost had more fish than they could carry — on their bicycles.
Staying at WaterColors, the "three amigos" had biked down to the beach to go fishing with only their back packs to carry back their catch.
With their backpacks full, captain loaned them a cooler to carry the rest.
The three pedaled off with cooler and backpacks strapped on.
"We're champions," Grieser said.
And that's the way they do in Walton.
See you on the beach.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by samanthaborrello Nice to look at Been wanting these shoes for so long, and finally bought them to wear to my prom this month. Within an hour (walking minimally) several studs had fallen off, a total of 10 by the end of the night. Beautiful shoes, but the quality was not worth the price. 6.22.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by AllisonB Hot Heels!! After reading these reviews, I'm glad I'm not the only one with the spike issue. I LOVE, LOVE these shoes and have been debating on returning them as well. I wore them once and lost about 3 spikes. I'm bummed because I received tons of compliments that night and they are currently sitting in my room, unwearable since the missing spikes are pretty noticeable. They should have come with extra spikes! 10.9.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by FPJadeNicole Loose spikes! First let me start by saying, I love these shoes. Great design and quality, they are very tall, but considerably comfortable.. My only quip is with the spikes, you need to make sure they are screwed on tight before you leave the house. Two of mine screwed off and got lost when I went out wearing them for the first time! They should include extra spikes in case this happens.... In any case, I loved them so much that I ordered them again (I returned the old ones, of course). Hopefully this was just a fluke, as no one else has commented on this problem. Either way, I will make sure to check that the spikes are screwed on tight before I leave the house. :) 9.6.2012
Rated 1 out of 5Â by lonicole wore them once, fell apart I also wore these for the first time to a wedding and before even getting out of my car the ankle strap broke. I had no extra shoes and had to super glue them together before I went in to the wedding. Then while at the wedding I noticed that 4 of the studs had already fallen off. This was a disappointment because I love the shoes and would like to wear them again! 3.31.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by lmire68780 City Heel They were ok, thinking they would be nice with the right outfit. But the spikes are a bit higher then they appear in the picture. 9.3.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by fpladyluck Strap broken too! I bought these last summer and wore them one time for a wedding (where i didn't do much moving around in all honesty# and pulled them out this year for another wedding which I was super excited to wear. Same thing happened to me as other people... I was doing nothing #sitting# and my strap just came off on my ankle! Luckily I had packed some sandals so I was able to walk around but it was really depressing. These shoes are basically good to put on and look at and that is about it. :# 6.20.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KelseyKay Best Purchase I have been lusting after these gorgeous shoes for almost a year now and when I saw that they were on sale I knew I had to have them! I am concerned that the spikes will fall off because everyone says they do. I bought these for myself for a graduation present and I couldn't be happier! 6.1.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by ccredman do not get these I wore these one time. Within two hours, I was SITTING DOWN and the ankle strap snapped. 130 is way too much to spend on a pair of shoes when the quality is this poor. Yes I can exchange them but I will have to pay even more money to send them back to Free People! Beyond disappointed. This is a quality issue and FP should fix the issue or will lose a very loyal customer. 4.21.2013

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The world turned its back on the Jews of Europe during the Nazi Holocaust. Many of those who miraculously survived became a part of a reborn Jewish state. But the ghosts of their horrific past linger, and far too many are living out their last days in poverty and loneliness.
Israel Today is proud to be among those providing physical aid, as well as emotional and spiritual comfort, to Israel's Holocaust survivors.
But, we need your help!
How special it is to inform these precious souls that it is thanks to the kind donations of Christians that we are able to provide aid and comfort, when so many of them have been left scarred by their treatment at the hands of supposedly "Christian" nations.
We'll supply a Holocaust survivor with several gift coupons that can be cashed in a number of Israeli supermarkets.
A rocket, fired across the border into Israel from Lebanon last week, narrowly missed injuring dozens of Holocaust Survivors in Acre, north of Haifa. The Holocaust Survivors responded to warning sirens and tried to reach bomb shelters but were unable to do so before the rocket landed, just short of their housing facility. Neighboring houses suffered damage in the attack.

Johns Hopkins University won a key judgement Thursday when the Maryland Court of Special Appeals ruled that the university's plan to develop a 108-acre donated farm complies with a donor's agreement with the school.
Johns Hopkins bought the 108-acre farm, known as the Belward Farm, from Elizabeth Banks in 1989 for $5 million, a fraction of the estimated $54 million value of the property, with the remainder to be considered a charitable donation. The farm is off of Muddy Branch Road and Md. 28.
In November 2011, Tim Newell, one of Banks' relatives, sued Johns Hopkins University. He claimed the university was violating a land use agreement it made with Banks when she sold the land to the institution in 1989, believing it would be used for a low-density academic campus, according to the statement.
Johns Hopkins plans to build a 4.7 million-square-foot "science city" on the property which would be substantially larger than the 1.4 million square-foot complex that Newell says his great-aunt imagined.
On Thursday, the Court of Special Appeals' three-judge panel ruled unanimously affirming a 2012 ruling by a Montgomery County Circuit Court Judge Ronald B. Rubin in favor of Johns Hopkins.
In its decision, the three-judge panel wrote "our task is to examine the agreement the parties did sign, not the agreement that one or the other now wishes they had negotiated instead."
"We understand the Family's frustration as they face the increasingly likely prospect that the Farm will transform into a campus that they believe Ms. Banks would never have countenanced," the panel wrote.
University spokespeople said they were "gratified" by the ruling, and that they planned to develop the Belward Research Campus "in full compliance" with its obligations under its agreement with Banks and her siblings.
Newell, the lead plaintiff in the suit against Hopkins, said that the ruling had left him "extremely disappointed."
He said the ruling erroneously considered the transaction between Banks and Johns Hopkins as a real estate transaction and not a charitable contribution.
"This is not about a simple arms-length real estate contract," he said. "It's about a 22-page agreement, that states this is a charitable contribution to Johns Hopkins University."
"If it was a simple real estate transaction, we would have sold it for $54 million years ago," he said.
His family planned to appeal the ruling to the Court of Appeals, he said.

Shrimp and Grits from 'The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen'
A seamless union of land and sea, shrimp and grits just may be the perfect example of lowcountry cuisine. Briny shrimp tossed in butter, cream, or tomato-y gravy are a graceful foil to sweet, earthy grits. The dish itself has been around at least since the early 20th century and as such has spawned many variations. Some are totally bare-bones, containing only shrimp, butter, and grits, while others include bacon, tomatoes, and spice. Matt and Ted Lee's version in The Lee Bros. Charleston Kitchen is more akin the latter. More

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves tied the score at two with 7:14 remaining in the game, but the Rockford IceHogs grabbed the game-winning goal 3:20 later to earn a 3-2 Illinois Lottery Cup victory Friday night at the Allstate Arena.
Forwards Bill Sweatt and Tim Miller scored for Chicago, which dropped its first home tilt in five outings and saw its four-game winning streak snapped.
"We got out of sync in the second period and it ended up costing us," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "We got away from the things we have been doing so well lately."
The verdict put a damper on Wolves captain Nolan Baumgartner's 1,000th professional game. The popular defenseman will be honored Saturday during a pregame ceremony.
With Chicago (30-19-1-3) trailing 2-1 in the third period, Miller was able to knot the score at 2-2 at 12:46. Center Steve Reinprecht's shot from the near point was stopped by Rockford goaltender Carter Hutton, but he coughed up a rebound. Miller was perched on the doorstep and flipped the puck into an empty net.
Rockford center Brandon Pirri grabbed the game-winning tally with 3:54 remaining in the contest. He skated into the Wolves zone one-on-one with a Chicago defender and snapped a wrister over the glove of screened goaltender Eddie Lack.
Chicago opened scoring at 14:34 of the opening frame with an unlikely goal. Sweatt sent a shot through the crease and a Rockford defender slapped the shot away toward the back boards behind the net. The puck bounced off the boards to the top of the net, trickled over the net, bounced off Rockford goaltender Carter Hutton's back and crossed the goal line.
Hutton (11-8-2) stopped 22 shots to earn the win for Rockford (22-26-2-4).
Rockford knotted the score at 1-1 4:32 into the second period. Left wing Brandon Svendsen held the puck behind the Wolves net and fed defensemen Joe Lavin in the high slot. Lavin slipped a one-timer under Lack's pads.
The IceHogs grabbed a 2-1 lead less than four minutes later when Lack misplayed the puck behind the net. Svendsen intercepted the pass and his shot was stopped by a recovering Lack, but the rebound sat in the crease and right wing Matt Fornataro jammed the puck home at 8:14.
Lack (14-13-3) earned 32 saves as he lost for just the second time in seven starts.
The Wolves close their five-game homestand with a battle against the Abbotsford Heat at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Allstate Arena.

Gangs in Schools Task Force Report to the Legislature
These reports reflect the findings and recommendations of the
Gangs in Schools Task Force, managed by the Office of
Superintendent of Public Instruction. The task force operates
independently to meet the legislated objectives. The contents of
this reports are the product of the task force, and do not
necessarily reflect the official position of OSPI or the
agencies or organizations of the task force members. Earlier
finds are summarized below.

A Summary of the 2011 Gangs in Schools Task Force Report to the Legislature
In response to the mandates of 2007 SSB 5097, the 2011 Gangs in Schools Task Force is submitting this report to the Washington State Legislature. The Gangs in Schools Task Force is committed to creating safe, civil, gang-free schools. This report on its efforts will be brief and direct. Rather than review the recommendations found in its previous reports, below, the 2011 current report will focus on the Task Force work plan for 2012, a plan based on lessons learned, and the changing realities of gang activity in schools.
In the current environment, there is no funding committed to the work of the Task Force; however, the Task Force is committed to the work. The members have looked back over previous years, earlier recommendations and at current realities. In 2011, "gangs" and school related "gang activity" cannot be looked at as separate, stand-alone concerns. They are very much a part of school climate and safety, student health, academic achievement data, dropout prevention and re-entry, and community safety and involvement in schools. There is a lot of data and information which resides in very diverse organizations and agencies. Much of the information and data may appear to be unrelated to the problems associated with gang activity in schools; however, it is not. It is critically important that diverse organizations and agencies communicate and share the information which they have. To do so, common vocabulary and understandings are fundamental.
Suppression efforts do not work when approached in isolation. Prevention, intervention, suppression, mitigation and re-entry efforts are all integral to the work. These efforts are the work of those agencies and organizations suggested above. To ensure that the various agencies and community components are able to effectively work together, common vocabulary and understandings are, again, fundamental.
The Internet has also changed the face of gang activity. It has provided a forum for communication, threats, harassment, recruitment and other related activities. It also provides a medium of information gathering for law enforcement, social service and educational entities in their prevention, intervention, suppression, and mitigation efforts, as well as a vehicle for training dissemination.
In the midst of all this, there is good news. There are positive signs that local efforts are being successful in their efforts to reduce youth gang involvement and criminal gang activity.
With these and other realities at work, the Gangs in Schools Task Force has committed itself to focusing on three interrelated areas for 2012. These three areas include data and information gathering, policy guidance, and training and professional development. The overarching goal of Task Force efforts is to have a collective impact. In this context, that means creation of an integrated system of communication, a vehicle for data and information sharing, a set of guidelines for local districts, schools and communities to create policies and processes to address their particular issues, and a variety of training options, built around common vocabulary, understandings and approaches, to help communities achieve their goals for safe, secure schools and communities.

The post-Thanksgiving/first December weekend is historically a slow point in the holiday market, and this year is proving to be no exception.
Lionsgate reports this morning that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire earned $7.7 million on Friday, winning the day and putting it on track for a $27.5 million third weekend. To date, Catching Fire has earned $317.4 million domestically--12.5 percent ahead of the 15-day gross of the original Hunger Games.
Disney's Frozen claimed the runner-up spot on Friday with $6.815 million. It should, however, post strong enough Saturday and Sunday business to claim first place for the weekend when all is said and done. BoxOffice projects the hit animated film will tally $29 million in its sophomore weekend. Through Friday, Frozen's 10th day of wide release, the pic has amassed an impressive $109.45 million. At the same point in release, Tangled had brought in 37 percent less (with $80.1 million) back in 2010.
As expected, Relativity's Out of the Furnace got off to a soft start on Friday. The Christian Bale starrer grossed $1.88 million in its first day of wide release (having opened in 4 theaters on Wednesday). That's noticeably less than the $2.5 million Killing Them Softly drew in its first day over the same weekend last year and puts Furnace on pace for a $5.5 million debut.
Thor: The Dark World posted another $1.29 million yesterday and bumped its domestic cume up to $190.2 million as it inches closer to the $200 million threshold. BoxOffice projects The Dark World will land around $4.7 million for the weekend.
Meanwhile, Homefront grabbed $1 million yesterday to boost its total gross up to $12.9 million. BoxOffice projects a $3.3 million second weekend for the Open Road thriller.

Gasoline spill exposes need for another road

Pamela A. Duvall
No way around traffic accidents
That is the bad part of Crestview: When there is an accident, there really is no way around it. Too many people in a small town.
Scott Zamorski
Plan needed to decrease motorists' travel time
With 75 percent of residents not working in the area, the city needs to come up with a plan so it doesn't take people 45 minutes to get through the lights on 85 from Antioch to Redstone from 3:30-6:30 p.m.
Dennis Luczak
Sidewalks ideal for walking students
Sidewalks on Airport Road would be much safer for our children who are required to walk to school because of the distance from home to the schools.
They do not qualify to ride the bus.
Many children have come close to being hit walking along this road to and from school. And they also have to cross 85.
Jason N Selena Barrow
Paving Arena Road could help
How about making Rasberry Road, (which) goes next to Lowes, an actual road? It could connect to Arena Road. That would take some traffic off PJ Adams.

Why does Milton have four exits from I-10 and Crestview only (has) one?

This undated news clipping was part of the papers of my great-aunts Selma Sawyer and Mary Kathryn McKenzie. It was likely published in Marion County, TN on 10 April 1931. Their brother, James Phillip Sawyer was born 26 Aug 1901 in Warrensburg and died on 9 April 1931 in Marion County, TN. An aside, Phil is most likely the baseball player pictured in my Summer Frolics posting.
Whitwell Coach, former Baseball Pitcher, Fatally Hurt in Head-On Crash.
Phil Sawyer, 28-year-old coach of the Whitwell High school athletic teams, died early yesterday morning from injuries sustained Wednesday afternoon in a head-on auto collision near Whitwell. When first treated at Erlanger hospital his injuries were thought to be not fatal, but shock and loss of blood caused his death.
The body was prepared for burial by Chapman's and sent to Pikeville, where it was viewed by hundreds of Whitwell and Pikeville citizens and students of the Whitwell school, where he was very popular and where Mrs. Sawyer taught.
Charles Seward, 43, of Hixson pike, driver of the car that struck Sawyer's machine, remains in a serious condition. Newell sanitarium attaches said his condition showed some improvement, but that he was still in a critical condition. He sustained a broken hip, fractured jawbone, severe lacerations and four teeth were knocked out.
The Sawyer and Seward autos collided head-on about three and one-half miles north of Whitwell. Seward was alone, but Mrs. Sawyer sat beside her husband. She was only slightly injured.
Sawyer was well known in baseball circles. He played professionally for several years, making good records with clubs in the Applachian and the South Atlantic leagues, both of which now are disbanded. Sawyer pitched for Greeneville (Tenn.) in the Appalachian league, and aided that team in winning a pennant. He pitched for Knoxville when that town was in the Sally league. He was a right-hander of amazing speed and control and while with Knoxville had many chances to try out for major league teams. However, his interest in professional baseball declined and he began a coaching career.
He took over the Whitwell position more than a year ago and the teams coached by him made good records. He was a young man of retiring disposition, modest to an extreme degree and insistent that credit for any of his many achievements be given those who "gave me a break."
The body will be sent from Pikeville this morning to Greeneville, Tenn., his former home, where funeral services will be held Sunday.
He is survived by his wife; parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Sawyer, of Greeneville; three brothers, Robert, of Morristown; Conway and Winston, of Warrensburg, Tenn; five sisters, Mrs. L. H. Luttrell, of Greeneville; Mrs. Herbert Haun, of Mohawk, Tenn.; Misses Selma, Emma and Mary Catherine Sawyer, of Warrensburg.

Part of the fun of this job is that sometimes, we get to disagree with our fellow writers. One of my compatriots recently composed a piece titled "Sony PlayStation 4 Riding Wave Of Twice The Social Media Buzz Of New Microsoft Xbox." In it, he speaks to social media tracking expert Jen Handley of Fizziology, who says that across sites from Twitter to Tumblr to Facebook Facebook, it's the Playstation 4 that has a two to one buzz advantage over the next Xbox.
The piece goes on to say that social buzz is important, because it demonstrably has translated into increased sales in the past. The title, by implication, then suggests that Sony Sony is poised to dominate the next Xbox in the future having "twice the buzz." To me, it's hyperbole, and I'm unclear as to why it's news.
My first thought when reading the piece was "Of course the Playstation 4 has more buzz." In fact, I'm shocked it only has twice as much. Let's think about this.
For one, the Playstation 4 has been premiered. It had a big press conference dedicated to its debut, and the day of, I actually captured a screenshot (seen above) where five out of the five most popular stories on Forbes.com were all Playstation 4 related, including my own liveblog. If that was happening on our site, imagine on what scale that was being replicated across the internet. Talk about social buzz.
The announcement brought loads of actual facts to talk about concerning the Playstation 4. A whole host of games were announced and Sony premiered new technology like instant booting up of the system or livestreaming games easily. There were endless aspects of the story to discuss, even if they weren't showing the console or revealing the price.
Secondly, perhaps the most important social media-themed aspect of the system was announced, the name: Playstation 4. For years now, many have already been calling the system the Playstation 4. When it was announced that yes, it would officially be called that, it created a singular term that could easily be used across all social media sites, making buzz incredibly easy to track.
But for Microsoft Microsoft's new Xbox. I'm sure Ms. Handley is very good at her job, but when people across social media sites are referring to the next Xbox as the Xbox Durango, Xbox 720, Xbox Infinity, Xbox Fusion, Xbox, New Xbox, Nextbox or even just "Microsoft's new console," there's bound to be some buzz that gets lost in translation.
I suppose the argument could be made that getting a jump start on buzz could work to Sony's advantage, but you might just as easily say that Microsoft announcing later could take the wind out of their sails and put them in a better position heading into E3.
To me, I don't see the point of tracking the buzz of two consoles when one has been announced and the other is still a loose collection of rumors which doesn't even have a name yet. Once both consoles are on equal footing after Microsoft's May 21st event, or better yet, after E3, then it will be interesting to see which one generates more chatter, but suggesting Sony has some sort of advantage now is just fanboy baiting to me.

I only paid 1/5 the price at a closeout sale, but it only weighs 4oz less than the down jacket I picked up at Walmart for $19.98 (1/12th the price)! Cut the sleeves out and there you are. The quality of this vest isn't THAT much better than the cheap Walmart jacket either. And they are both made in China. Though the retail price on this vest is $245!! Ridiculous in my opinion. I love my MH rain jacket, but I'm not very impressed… Full review
Patagonia Men's Down Sweater Vest
This is a great vest for everyday use, but is also durable enough to use in many outdoor activities. Made from light and fluffy 800 fill down, this vest keeps your core warm and can pack down smaller than a softball. Because Patagonia makes gear that's out of my price range, I either have to save up some money for a while to get what I want, or I have to wait for things to go on sale (or sometimes both). At $179 MSRP, this vest was way out of my price range until last year when my local gear shop… Full review
Big Agnes Late Lunch Vest
** Please see the addendum at the end of this review Big Agnes has applied their knowledge of down to their foray into apparel. The women's Late Lunch Vest uses 700 fill power DownTek water repellent down, and they have applied their Insotect Flow vertical baffles which are designed to keep the wearer warm. While the down does shuck water, and the vest is warm, a major drawback is the vest's fit. Warmth, durability, quality—fantastic! Fit…mmm – needs some tweaking. Company Specs Mid-weight… Full review

You forget you have it on. I would recommend this as an important part of your outdoor apparel. The Patagonia Ultralight Down Vest is going to become a favorite new piece in your outdoor collection. The vest is… Full review
The North Face Men's Nuptse Vest
More than enough for anything short of Arctic conditions, this vest has far more utility than I hoped for. This was a clearance item, an impulse buy, and a dam'd good one. I have never bought a down vest in 50+ years of backpacking, so this is a new experience for me. This thing was very warm when I tried it on in the store. Seriously, I have never warmed up so fast from a single piece of clothing (the small store (<1500' sq) was very cold as the AC was on full blast). Between this and my Marmot… Full review
Outdoor Research Aria Down Vest
This is a great vest that is warm and lightweight. It is a favorite of mine on and off the trail. The Aria Down Vest by Outdoor Research is one of my backcountry staples. I bought one last year and, due to its versatility (and multitude of color options!), convinced myself to purchase a second one this year! Unlike other down vests I have tried, the fit is slim — it doesn't turn you into a marshmallow — but not restrictive. It's warm yet lightweight and the hood gives me an extra layer of warmth.

The entire disclosure of each of those applications is hereby incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
The field of the invention relates generally to transmissions, and more particularly the invention relates to continuously variable transmissions.
2. Description of the Related Art
The present invention relates to the field of continuously variable transmissions and includes several novel features and inventive aspects that have been developed and are improvements upon the prior art. In order to provide an infinitely variable transmission, various traction roller transmissions in which power is transmitted through traction rollers supported in a housing between torque input and output disks have been developed. In such transmissions, the traction rollers are mounted on support structures which, when pivoted, cause the engagement of traction rollers with the torque disks in circles of varying diameters depending on the desired transmission ratio.
However, the success of these traditional solutions has been limited. For example, in one solution, a driving hub for a vehicle with a variable adjustable transmission ratio is disclosed. This method teaches the use of two iris plates, one on each side of the traction rollers, to tilt the axis of rotation of each of the rollers. However, the use of iris plates can be very complicated due to the large number of parts that are required to adjust the iris plates during transmission shifting. Another difficulty with this transmission is that it has a guide ring that is configured to be predominantly stationary in relation to each of the rollers. Since the guide ring is stationary, shifting the axis of rotation of each of the traction rollers is difficult.
One improvement over this earlier design includes a shaft about which a driving member and a driven member rotate. The driving member and driven member are both mounted on the shaft and contact a plurality of power adjusters disposed equidistantly and radially about the shaft. The power adjusters are in frictional contact with both members and transmit power from the driving member to the driven member. A support member located concentrically over the shaft and between the power adjusters applies a force to keep the power adjusters separate so as to make frictional contact against the driving member and the driven member. A limitation of this design is the absence of means for generating an adequate axial force to keep the driving and driven members in sufficient frictional contact against the power adjusters as the torque load on the transmission changes. A further limitation of this design is the difficulty in shifting that results at high torque and very low speed situations as well as insufficient means for disengaging the transmission and coasting.
Therefore, there is a need for a continuously variable transmission with an improved power adjuster support and shifting mechanism, means of applying proper axial thrust to the driving and driven members for various torque and power loads, and means of disengaging and reengaging the clutch for coasting.
The systems and methods have several features, no single one of which is solely responsible for its desirable attributes. Without limiting the scope as expressed by the claims that follow, its more prominent features will now be discussed briefly. After considering this discussion, and particularly after reading the section entitled "Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments" one will understand how the features of the system and methods provide several advantages over traditional systems and methods.
In one aspect, a continuously variable transmission is disclosed having a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of speed adjusters. Each speed adjuster has a tiltable axis of rotation is located radially outward from the longitudinal axis. Also provided are a drive disk that is annularly rotatable about the longitudinal axis and also contacts a first point on each of the speed adjusters and a support member that is also annularly rotatable about the longitudinal axis. A bearing disk is provided that is annularly rotatable about the longitudinal axis as well, and at least two axial force generators. The axial force generators are located between the drive disk and the bearing disk and each axial force generator is configured to apply an axial force to the drive disk.
In another aspect, a bearing disk annularly rotatable about the longitudinal axis is disclosed along with a disengagement mechanism. The disengagement mechanism can be positioned between the bearing disk and the drive disk and is adapted to cause the drive disk to disengage the drive disk from the speed adjusters.
In yet another aspect, an output disk or rotatable hub shell is disclosed along with a bearing disk that is annularly rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the transmission. A support member is included that is annularly rotatable about the longitudinal axis as well, and is adapted to move toward whichever of the drive disk or the output disk is rotating more slowly.
In still another aspect, a linkage subassembly having a hook is disclosed, wherein the hook is attached to either the drive disk or the bearing disk. Included is a latch attached to either the drive disk or and the bearing disk.
In another aspect, a plurality of spindles having two ends is disclosed, wherein one spindle is positioned in the bore of each speed adjuster and a plurality of spindle supports having a platform end and spindle end is provided. Each spindle support is operably engaged with one of the two ends of one of the spindles. Also provided is a plurality of spindle support wheels, wherein at least one spindle support wheel is provided for each spindle support. Included are annular first and second stationary supports each having a first side facing the speed adjusters and a second side facing away from the speed adjusters. Each of the first and second stationary supports have a concave surface on the first side and the first stationary support is located adjacent to the drive disk and the second stationary support is located adjacent to the driven disk.
Also disclosed is a continuously variable transmission having a coiled spring that is positioned between the bearing disk and the drive disk.
In another aspect, a transmission shifting mechanism is disclosed comprising a rod, a worm screw having a set of external threads, a shifting tube having a set of internal threads, wherein a rotation of the shifting tube causes a change in the transmission ratio, a sleeve having a set of internal threads, and a split shaft having a threaded end.
In yet another aspect, a remote transmission shifter is disclosed comprising a rotatable handlegrip, a tether having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is engaged with the handlegrip and the second end is engaged with the shifting tube. The handlegrip is adapted to apply tension to the tether, and the tether is adapted to actuate the shifting tube upon application of tension.
These and other improvements will become apparent to those skilled in the art as they read the following detailed description and view the enclosed figures.
Embodiments of the invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying figures, wherein like numerals refer to like elements throughout. The terminology used in the description presented herein is not intended to be interpreted in any limited or restrictive manner simply because it is being utilized in conjunction with a detailed description of certain specific embodiments of the invention. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention may include several novel features, no single one of which is solely responsible for its desirable attributes or which is essential to practicing the inventions herein described.
The transmissions described herein are of the type that utilize speed adjuster balls with axes that tilt as described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/695,757, filed on Oct. 24, 2000 and the information disclosed in that application is hereby incorporated by reference for all that it discloses. A drive (input) disk and a driven (output) disk are in contact with the speed adjuster balls. As the balls tilt on their axes, the point of rolling contact on one disk moves toward the pole or axis of the ball, where it contacts the ball at a circle of decreasing diameter, and the point of rolling contact on the other disk moves toward the equator of the ball, thus contacting the disk at a circle of increasing diameter. If the axis of the ball is tilted in the opposite direction, the disks respectively experience the converse situation. In this manner, the ratio of rotational speed of the drive disk to that of the driven disk, or the transmission ratio, can be changed over a wide range by simply tilting the axes of the speed adjuster balls.
With reference to the longitudinal axis of embodiments of the transmission, the drive disk and the driven disk can be located radially outward from the speed adjuster balls, with an idler-type generally cylindrical support member located radially inward from the speed adjuster balls, so that each ball makes three-point contact with the inner support member and the outer disks. The drive disk, the driven disk, and the support member can all rotate about the same longitudinal axis. The drive disk and the driven disk can be shaped as simple disks or can be concave, convex, cylindrical or any other shape, depending on the configuration of the input and output desired. The rolling contact surfaces of the disks where they engage the speed adjuster balls can have a flat, concave, convex or other profile, depending on the torque and efficiency requirements of the application.

Spindles 3 are inserted through holes that run through the center of each of the speed adjusters 1 to define an axis of rotation for each of the speed adjusters 1. The spindles 3 are generally elongated shafts about which the speed adjusters 1 rotate, and have two ends that extend out of either end of the hole through the speed adjusters 1. Certain embodiments will have cylindrical shaped spindles 3, though any shape can be used. The speed adjusters 1 are mounted to freely rotate about the spindles 3. In

For example, the frame support 15 could be a square of thickness equal to the torque lever 43 with sides larger than the stationary sleeve and with a hole cut out of its center so that the square may fit over the stationary sleeve 42, to which it may then be rigidly attached. Additionally, the torque lever 43 could be a lever arm of thickness equal to that of the frame support 15 with a first end near the frame support 15 and a second end opposite the first. The torque lever 43, in some embodiments, also has a bore through one of its ends, but this bore is a square and is a slightly larger square than the frame support 15 so the torque lever 43 could slide over the frame support 15 resulting in a rotational engagement of the frame support 15 and the torque lever 43. Furthermore, the lever arm of the torque lever 43 is oriented so that the second end extends to attach to the frame of the bike, automobile, tractor or other application that the transmission 100 is used upon, thereby countering any torque applied by the transmission 100 through the frame support 15 and the stationary sleeve 42. A stationary support bearing 48 fits coaxially around the stationary sleeve 42 and axially between the outside edge of the hub shell 40 and the torque lever 43. The stationary support bearing 48 supports the hub shell 40, permitting the hub shell 40 to rotate relative to the stationary support sleeve 42.

In certain embodiments, the rod 10 is attached at its end opposite the worm screw 11 to a shifting tube 50 by a rod nut 51, and a rod flange 52. The shifting tube 50 is generally in the shape of a tube with one end open and one end substantially closed. The open end of shifting tube 50 is of a diameter appropriate to fit over the end of the split shaft 98 that extends axially out of the center of the transmission 100. The substantially closed end of the shifting tube 50 has a small bore through it so that the end of the rod 10 that is opposite of the worm screw 11 can pass through it as the shifting tube 50 is placed over the outside of the split shaft 98. The substantially closed end of the shifting tube 50 can then be fixed in axial place by the rod nut 51, which is fastened outside of the shifting tube 50, and the rod flange 52, which in turn is fastened inside of the shifting tube's 50 substantially closed end, respectively. The shifting tube 50 can, in some embodiments, be rotated by a cable 53 attached to the outside of the shifting tube 50. The cable 53, in these embodiments, is attached to the shifting tube 50 with a cable clamp 54 and cable screw 56, and then wrapped around the shifting tube 50 so that when tension is applied to the cable 53 a moment is developed about the center of the axis of the shifting tube 50 causing it to rotate. The rotation of shifting tube 50 may alternately be caused by any other mechanism such as a rod, by hand rotation, a servo-motor or other method contemplated to rotate the rod 10. In certain embodiments, when the cable 53 is pulled so that the shifting tube 50 rotates clockwise on the split shaft 98, the worm screw 11 rotates clockwise, pulling the sleeve 19, support member 18 and platforms 13, 14, axially toward the shifting tube 50 and shifting the transmission 100 towards a low transmission ratio. A worm spring 55, as illustrated in
Referring to
Although a left hand threaded worm screw 11 is disclosed, a right hand threaded worm screw 11, the corresponding right hand wrapped shifting tube 50, and any other combination of components just described that is can be used to support lateral movement of the support member 18 and platforms 13, 14, can be used. Additionally, the shifting tube 50 can have internal threads that engage with external threads on the outside of the split shaft 98. By adding this threaded engagement, the shifting tube 50 will move axially as it rotates about the split shaft 98 causing the rod 10 to move axially as well. This can be employed to enhance the axial movement of the sleeve 19 by the worm screw 11 so as to magnify the effects of rotating the worm screw 11 to more rapidly shift the gear ratio or alternatively, to diminish the effects of rotating the worm screw 11 so as to slow the shifting process and produce more accurate adjustments of the transmission 100.

In operation of certain embodiments, an input rotation from the sprocket or pulley 38 is transmitted to the drive shaft 69, which in turn rotates the bearing disk 60 and the plurality of perimeter ramps 61 causing the ramp bearings 62 to roll up the perimeter ramps 61 and press the drive disk 34 against the speed adjusters 1. The ramp bearings 62 also transmit rotational energy to the drive disk 34 as they are wedged in between, and therefore transmit rotational energy between, the perimeter ramps 61 and the convex ramps 64. The rotational energy is transferred from the drive disk 34 to the speed adjusters 1, which in turn rotate the hub shell 40 providing the transmission 100 output rotation and torque.

Another improvement of certain embodiments includes positively engaging the bearing disk 60 and the drive disk 34 to provide greater rotational transmission and constant axial thrust at certain levels of torque transmission. Referring to an embodiment illustrated in
A further improvement of certain embodiments over previous designs is a drive disk 34 having radial spokes (not separately identified), reducing weight and aiding in assembly of the transmission 100. In a certain embodiment, the drive disk 34 has three spokes equidistant from each other that allow access to, among other components, the hook 114 and the latch 115.
Another improvement of certain embodiments includes the use of threads 35, such as acme threads, to move the drive disk 34 axially when there is relative rotational movement between the drive disk 34 and the bearing disk 60. Referring to the embodiment illustrated in
Yet another improvement of certain embodiments over past inventions consists of an improved method of shifting the transmission to higher or lower transmission ratios. Again, referring to the embodiment illustrated in
Another improvement of some embodiments over past inventions is the disengagement mechanism for the transmission 100. The disengagement mechanism allows the input sprocket, pulley, or gear 38 to rotate in reverse, and also allows the transmission 100 to coast in neutral by disengaging the drive disk 34 from the speed adjusters 1.
The foregoing description details certain embodiments of the invention. It will be appreciated, however, that no matter how detailed the foregoing appears in text, the invention can be practiced in many ways. As is also stated above, it should be noted that the use of particular terminology when describing certain features or aspects of the invention should not be taken to imply that the terminology is being re-defined herein to be restricted to including any specific characteristics of the features or aspects of the invention with which that terminology is associated. The scope of the invention should therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims and any equivalents thereof.

The Bennets (Brenda Blethyn and Donald Sutherland) are the parents of five daughters near the close of the 18th century in England. Comfortable within their means but well short of rich, Mr. and Mrs. Bennet are looking for suitable husbands for their girls, and they are encouraged to learn that an eligible young bachelor from a wealthy family, Charles Bingley (Simon Woods), has moved into a nearby estate. Eager to see if a match can be made, the Bennets bring their daughters Elizabeth (Keira Knightley) and Jane (Rosamund Pike) to a ball thrown by their new neighbor to see if sparks will fly. Jane seems to like Charles, and he appears to feel the same, but Elizabeth takes an immediate dislike to Darcy (Matthew MacFadyen), Charles' egocentric best friend. While Elizabeth is infatuated with military man Lt. Wickham (Rupert Friend) and finds herself courted by William Collins (Tom Hollander), a well-meaning but drab man of the cloth, fate causes Elizabeth and Darcy to frequently cross paths, and while they don't care for one another, they can't stop thinking about each other, either. Pride & Prejudice also stars Jena Malone, Judi Dench, and Penelope Wilton.

While the blog suggests that someone placed the bag intentionally to sabotage Google's efforts, it's like that the wind is responsible for this ingenuous imagery.
"The bag remains in place for quite a long way actually - right along College Road, onto the Old Steese Highway and halfway up Minnie Street, where it finally disappears at the junction with Clara Street. Hopefully the discovery of this exciting technique will allow privacy advocates everywhere to finally thwart Google's endlessly evil efforts to provide us all with really useful driving directions!"
