Recycling mattresses is something many of us don't even think about however they are filled with recyclable material. The wood, foam, cotton and metal springs that make up most mattresses are all recyclable.
How to Recycle Your Mattress
If you're purchasing a new mattress you can talk to that business about taking your old one to be recycled. Many mattress stores offer free mattress disposal but only if you are purchasing a new one.
If you aren't purchasing a new mattress there are a few options out there though admittedly, mattress disposal can be difficult. There are some charity organizations that will pick up your old mattress for reuse however these are rare.
There are also some recyclers who will pick up mattresses for a fee. If you're looking to recycle your mattress for free however you'll likely have to drop it off at a designated location.
To recycle mattresses in your area use our recycling locator found at the end of this article.

Frequent Mattress Recycling Questions
How do I get my old mattress recycled?
Each year in the U.S., 15-20 million mattresses are disposed of, and a mattress can take up as much as 40 cubic feet in a landfill – making it that much more important to recycle your old one.
First, see if the company you bought your mattress from has a take-back program in place. If that doesn't work out, jump to the recycling locator to track down recycling opportunities near you.
Mattress recycling options are limited in the U.S., but the number of programs is growing since mattresses can be taken apart for their components and recycled. King County, Wash., for example, recently expanded its recycling program to include mattresses.
Are thrift stores allowed to sell used mattresses?
Most thrift stores choose not to accept used mattresses for resale. But some, including St. Vincent de Paul, will take your old mattress for recycling or reuse.
Call ahead to local thrift stores and charities in your neighborhood to see if they accept used mattresses. If your mattress is still in good condition, you can also try giving it away on Freecycle or selling it on sites like Craigslist.
Can I take a mattress apart and recycle its pieces?
About 90 percent of the average mattress can be recovered for recycling. If you can't find a recycler near you that will accept your old mattress, you can also take it apart and recycle the component materials yourself. Some mattress materials, such as the steel coils, can actually make you money at the recycling center.
Keep in mind that mattresses are very difficult to disassemble. If you're feeling ambitious, check out this DIY guide from How Stuff Works for tips and step-by-step instructions.
Are box springs recyclable?
Box springs are made up of a steel cage, wood frame and cotton outer layer. After the box spring is disassembled, all of these components can be recovered for recycling. Any recycler or reuse agency in your community that accepts mattresses should also accept your used box spring.
Are foam and Tempur-Pedic mattresses recyclable?
Yes, the foam used in memory foam, latex foam and Tempur-Pedic mattresses is completely recyclable. It's just a matter of finding a recycler that accepts it, which can be difficult. Most recyclers that accept mattresses should accept foam varieties, but you may want to ask first before lugging your mattress down to the recycling center.

Containing measles
Officials scramble to keep outbreak under control
Mary Rotar was getting ready to head home for the weekend, when the call came late that Friday afternoon.
The 23-month-old girl with the rash and fever does have measles, the state health lab technician said.
"My heart just sank," said Rotar, infection control officer at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Wauwatosa.
A measles outbreak, rare as it is these days, can be devastating. It's highly contagious; someone sneezing across the room can pass it along, and the germs linger for as long as two hours.
Nearly everyone over 50 remembers having measles - the fever, the red blotches and the sting caused by even a slight beam of sunlight. In its heyday in 1958, measles affected more than 800,000 across the country.
But a vaccine developed in 1963 worked wonders. By 2000, the disease had been declared eradicated in the United States.
There are occasional outbreaks, though. The last big one here, in 1989-'90, infected more than 1,100 people in the city and killed six children across the state - four babies, a 10-year-old and an 11-year-old.
Rotar knew they would have to move fast if they were going to contain this one.
But how much exposure had there been?
The little girl had been admitted to Children's Hospital the previous Monday. She was moved into isolation on Thursday when the doctors suspected measles. But in those three days in between, she potentially had been in contact with as many as 30 of the sickest, most vulnerable children - transplant and cancer patients, kids with almost no ability to fight off infection.
The disease can be deadly for those with compromised immune systems. The virus settles in their chests and their lungs fill with fluid. They can suffocate in hours.
"I was so scared that someone was going to die," Rotar said.
She would have to move quickly to find out who had been in contact with the little girl. Rotar called Sandy Coffaro, Milwaukee's communicable disease coordinator who oversees this type of investigation.
"This is not a drill," Rotar told her.
And then, more bad news: The little girl had been at two day care centers while she was infectious.
Coffaro, who spent more than a year working to contain the outbreak of 1989-'90, took a deep breath and made special note of the time: 4:18 p.m.
Since that moment on April 4, Milwaukee and suburban public health workers have been scrambling to keep this outbreak from spreading.
"It's a little bit like putting a broken glass back together," Rotar said. "You just hope you can find all the pieces."
The City of Milwaukee Health Department allowed the Journal Sentinel unprecedented access into the workings of its active epidemiological investigation as it straddles the delicate line between sustaining heightened public awareness and avoiding mass hysteria.
Paul Biedrzycki, director of disease control and environmental health for the city, serves as incident commander. He runs tight meetings, charting new cases on a board, chiding those who fail to put their cell phones on vibrate, keeping a rein on the discussion.
Biedrzycki goes around the table, scouring the most minute details: exact wording on the hotline and city Web pages, staffing for the weekend immunization clinics, what kind of laptop computers will be on site, if there are enough refrigerators to keep the vaccines sufficiently cold, whether the fliers announcing clinic times have been translated into Spanish and Hmong.
In addition to old-fashioned "shoe-leather epidemiology," modern health care investigators now have tremendous tools - sophisticated genetic tests, BlackBerry devices, cell phones and computer programs.
These things were the stuff of science fiction when epidemiologist Kathy Blair headed up a similar effort during the 1989-'90 outbreak. In those days, Blair and her crew of 103 public health nurses camped out at each of the area's busiest emergency rooms and pediatrician's offices, trolling for bloodshot eyes, in hopes of flagging a measles case.
In those days, as cases piled up at a rate of 80 a week, public health care workers went door to door, drawing blood in homes and vaccinating children in their own bedrooms. They stationed a nurse at every school.
Today's public health care work force is roughly half that size, and they are able to track the disease with electronic reports from hospitals and doctor's offices. But for all the electronic wizardry at their disposal, Biedrzycki's crew faces hurdles that Blair's group did not. The biggest of these is, ironically, a product of their own success.
Because measles is rare now, parents and even some doctors don't think to look for it. Few are aware of how devastating it can be to a baby or someone with a weak immune system. Measles - out of sight for years - is also out of the minds of health care planners. Many emergency rooms and doctors' offices are not set up to limit the exposure of such a highly contagious disease.
Investigators for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have learned that more than a third of the 70 confirmed cases nationwide so far this spring were contracted within a health care facility - a doctor's office, walk-in clinic or hospital.
Growing pockets of parents are opting out of having their children vaccinated. They are skeptical - or scared - of what the vaccines can do to children, though there is no scientific evidence that the vaccines cause harm. Parenting chat rooms are filled with discussions about the safety of today's vaccines and whether there is any link to the rise in autism. The number of parents filing personal conviction waivers in Wisconsin over the past 10 years has tripled.
Rotar was still at Children's Hospital well after midnight that first day, trying to track down the families of any children who might have come into contact with the 23-month-old.
What Rotar did not know then was that this little girl was not the first case. Weeks earlier, a 37-year-old Milwaukee man had come down with the disease, but the blood tests were sent to a lab in Utah and the results were not yet known. The man had gone to two health clinics before he ultimately was diagnosed at Aurora St. Luke's South Shore Hospital.
Now health care workers would have to try and find everyone who had been in either of those clinics or in that emergency room and let them know of their exposure.
Rotar had a specific plan to contain the spread of measles at Children's.
Anyone suspected of having the disease would be moved to one of the hospital's six negative-pressure rooms, places where the air flows through the room at a much more rapid rate and is filtered before being released back into the building.
It was decided that those children who were most vulnerable - transplant patients and those on chemotherapy - would be given shots of immunoglobulin to boost their immunity.
Anyone showing up in the emergency room with symptoms would have to wait in the parking lot until proper precautions could be made.
"We couldn't risk spreading it any further," Rotar said. "I was determined not to let that happen in my waiting room."
It turned out that the little girl who was the first diagnosed had been immunized for other childhood illnesses but had not gotten the shot for measles, mumps and rubella.
Because the girl, who lived in Franklin, had gone to two day care centers - one in Greenfield and the other in Greendale - while she was contagious, city and suburban workers would have to contact dozens of families. When two others at the Greenfield day care - a 5-month-old and a 12-month-old - started showing signs of measles, health care workers ordered them quarantined. After several days with no new cases being reported, suburban health administrators were declaring qualified victory.
"We think we've nipped this in the bud," said Darren Rausch, Greenfield health officer.
No sooner had health care workers been getting a handle on the measles outbreak when word came from Waukesha.
A man in his mid-50s, back from a vacation in Mexico, had rubella. A week later, a Waukesha County woman in her 30s also was confirmed to have rubella. She worked at the Foley & Lardner law firm in downtown Milwaukee. Health officials estimated that she had come in contact with at least 700 people at work and hundreds of people on the Freeway Flyer bus that she rode.
Though covered by the same vaccine, measles and rubella are two different diseases. That both would break out at the same time is "just freaky," Coffaro said.
Rubella, more commonly known as German measles, is not as contagious. Some people who get rubella don't even know it.
But it is devastating to fetuses. Nearly half of all pregnant women who are exposed to rubella in the first trimester give birth to babies with rubella syndrome, a birth defect that causes blindness, deafness, heart deformities and mental retardation.
"I didn't even know I was pregnant when I came down with it," said Michelle Moore, who had rubella in 1964. "They figured later that I was about four weeks along."
The rash covered her from head to toe. It showed up on a Saturday and was gone by the end of the next day.
Her son, Michael, was born six weeks prematurely with rubella syndrome, weighing 4 pounds, 8 ounces.
"He hasn't said a word to me in 43 years," said Moore, of New Berlin. Nor can he walk or dress himself.
Moore says she cringes when she hears of parents today who don't immunize their children against these preventable childhood illnesses.
"To say, 'I don't want my child to get sick with autism or whatever,' well, you might be killing someone else's unborn child," Moore said.
She says she loves her son very much. But taking care of him has been a huge challenge. She has to cut her son's food, bathe him and pull him out of bed each morning.
"Our last vacation was in 1979," she said. "It scares me to death that another family can go through this."
Biedrzycki estimates the City of Milwaukee has spent more than $120,000 in overtime so far fighting the measles outbreak. Federal health officials say they expect it to go on for several more weeks.
"I don't think we can relax for quite a while yet," said Geoffrey Swain, the city's chief medical officer.

Trade of the Week: Carney's tenure at the Bank of Canada
While analysts were this week busy speculating on the impact Mark Carney's appointment as the new Bank of England governor might have on sterling, investors in the Canadian dollar can look back fondly on his time in charge of the Bank of Canada.
In a year when currency investors have suffered weak returns from many traditional strategies, the Canadian dollar has offered smart performance. Canada's robust balance sheet stands in stark contrast to the US's fiscal deterioration post-crisis. From a peak of C$1.29 in March 2009, the US dollar has lost more than a third of its value against its Canadian counterpart, hitting a low of C$0.94 in August of last year. Today, it is worth C$0.99.
An investor looking to capture some of the Canadian dollar's strength could have taken out an option contract on the currency pairing. An investor taking out an option in June when rumours that the US Federal Reserve would embark on a third round of quantitative easing began to grow, and exercising in September when it confirmed it would do so, would have captured the largest peak-to-trough fall in the dollar's value this year.
An option struck at June's low, when the US dollar was worth C$1.04, and exercised at September's high point, when the dollar was worth only C$0.97, could have made a 7% gain.
Under Carney's stewardship, the BoC has garnered a reputation as one of the most hawkish of the central banks that govern the world's 10 most-traded currencies. The BoC has maintained a policy of setting higher interest rates than its counterparts in the US, UK and Europe, which has kept the Canadian relatively dollar strong and the country's inflation very low.
The role of a central banker is crucial in a country's currency performance. A central bank's base rate of interest has a major impact on a currency's value, since it affects the yield investors receive on a country's debt.
A higher yield on Canadian Treasury bonds makes them more attractive to foreign investors, which in turn drives up the Canadian dollar's value; investors must cash in their own currency and buy CAD in order to buy Canadian debt. Canada, along with the UK, is one of a handful of remaining sovereigns that still issues AAA-rated debt.
Higher rates also have a huge impact on a country's level of inflation, since they make it more expensive for firms and individuals to borrow money to fund purchases. Low interest rates typically are employed as part of a monetary-easing policy and can lead to higher levels of inflation.
Adam Cole, global head of FX strategy at Canada's RBC Capital Markets, said: "It's fair to say the BoC has maintained one of the most consistent tightening biases of the G10 central banks post-crisis. And there's no doubt that the BoC will be among the first central banks to continue tightening policy next year."
The BoC raised interest rates three times during 2010, from a low of 0.25% to their current level of 1%. Rates in the US and the UK remain jammed at record lows of 0.25% and 0.5% respectively.
The Canadian dollar's strength is also closely tied to the performance of its domestic equity market too, said RBC's Cole. According to a five-year analysis by Russell Indexes, Canadian stocks have outperformed their global peers during Carney's tenure. From October 4 2007, a few months before Carney formally took over as governor, to November 27 2012, the Russell Canada Index returned 9.3%, versus a return of 1% for the Russell Developed Index.

The index for food rose 0.2 percent with the index for food at home up 0.3 percent. Increases in the indexes for dairy products and for meats, poultry, fish, and eggs were partially offset by declines in the indexes for fruits and vegetables, for cereal and bakery products, and for nonalcoholic beverages.
The index for all items less food and energy increased 0.1 percent in September, the same as in August. A smaller increase in the index for shelter was offset by larger increases in the indexes for medical care and apparel.
For the 12-month period ended in September, the CPI-U increased 2.3 percent (as shown in the chart).
These data are from the BLS Consumer Price Index program. Find out more in "Consumer Price Index: September 2003" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 03-549.

It's for XBOX 360 achievements and it's annoying the heck out of me b/c school is also very annoying too! Haha. Anyways, the games I'm pointing out achievements for are Viva Pinata, Borderlands, and [my favorite game after Assassin's Creed!] Left 4 Dead. I'm sure you've all played them at least once or twice or heard of them, so that's sort of why I'm doing these 3. Everyone's familiarized with them, and they're just so genuine and awesome to play. That is all!

Jon Anik (12:57 PM)
The pleasure is all on this side of the table. Thanks for checkin' back in for another MMA Live chat! Off the top, want to let you all know that MMA Live is hitting the road for UFC 100! We've got four live shows for you, beginning with our regular show Thursday from inside the Mandalay Bay Events Center. It continues with the Weigh-in Special Friday, and then pre and post-fight shows before and after UFC 100. Also, Randy Couture will be one of our analysts Thursday and Friday, so don't miss it. Very excited to bring you guys what we hope will be the best UFC 100 coverage on the web. Alright, housekeeping is done. Let's vent.
Tyler (Snohomish, Wa)
Jon, what happened to Kimbo, he looked like he was going to be the face of MMA but I havent heard from him recently
Jon Anik (12:58 PM)
Kimbo has signed on for Season 10 of the UFC's reality show, The Ultimate Fighter. It debuts on Spike on September 16th. Should be beyond interesting.
James Howell (Indianapolis)
Is Matt Hughes in the top 5 greatest of All time? Who is the top 5?
Jon Anik (12:59 PM)
He's probably the greatest welterweight in MMA history, although I expect Georges St. Pierre to hold that title when he retires. Hughes is certainly a future Hall-of-Famer. Not sure he's in my top five mixed martial artists of all time, but he cracks my top 10.
James Howell (Indianapolis)
Can you get me some tickets to UFC 100???
Jon Anik (1:00 PM)
No can do. But if it makes you feel any better, I've had dozens of requests (from people I actually know...haha) and haven't been able to grant any of them. Hopefully our coverage will make you feel like you're there, James.
matt (salerno)
Im trying to figure out the whole varner injury thing....will the doctor not clear him because of the broken hand or because of the eye injury from cerrones knee...havent heard about his eye but no hand should take that long to heal
Jon Anik (1:01 PM)
It just seems to be a healing issue with the hand. I expect Varner to be cleared late 2009/early 2010. And I think he's silently rooting for Benson Henderson to beat Cerrone.
Tom (Fargo,ND) [via mobile]
Do you think Chris Tuchscherer has any chance to beat Gonzaga at UFC 102?
Jon Anik (1:02 PM)
Huge experience disadvantage for Tuchscherer, but Gonzaga is coming off a loss and may be on the downside now. Tuchscherer trains with Brock Lesnar, so he shouldn't be intimidated by Gabe.
Steve (Happy Valley)
Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed in the UFC's decision to ban certain clothing sponsors and demand $100K for the right to sponsor a fighter. Sponsorships make up a decent portion of a fighter's paycheck, especially the smaller names. I feel like this is detrimental to the fighters and may keep some talent away. Your thoughts?
Jon Anik (1:04 PM)
I was disappointed, but not shocked at the announcement. You have to think companies like One More Round have made a lot of their fortune because of UFC fighters sporting their gear. It's disappointing for the fighters, but the UFC is a business, and their decisions almost always reflect that.
Jamie (KC)
Who would you rather fight, Mike Tyson or Jose Canseco?
Jon Anik (1:04 PM)
Jose Canseco. Tyson is too much of a wild card.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
What can I do as an individual to help MMA get more respect from the media?
Jon Anik (1:05 PM)
It's a good question without a good answer. Keep peppering that MMA Live inbox and the ESPN ombudsperson with your sentiments. I am curious to see how the WWL handles UFC 100, which is the biggest singular event in MMA history.
chris (boston mass)
best UFC fighter ever?
Jon Anik (1:07 PM)
Now? Anderson Silva can make a great case for that title, especially as the record-holder for consecutive wins inside the Octagon. I actually think GSP will hold that distinction when all is said and done.
Ben (Columbus)
Are you excited for the Kampman vs Swick fight, and the Huerta vs Maynard fight?
Jon Anik (1:08 PM)
Yes, and yes. In large part b/c both of those fights have legitimate implications with regard to the title picture at 170 and 155. Both winners should be on the cusp of title shots.
Nathan (Portsmouth, Ohio)
In his heyday... I'd rather fight Tyson. I'll take a dive for that 10 million his scrubs got.
henry (miami fl)
is the ufc bigger than any of the major sports right now?
Jon Anik (1:10 PM)
It is certainly not as big as the NFL, NBA, or MLB in terms of its fan base. But MMA (and the UFC) is growing faster than any of those sports. A lot of our parents didn't grow up with MMA. Once the generation turns over again, look out. MMA will be everywhere. I was on Newbury St. in Boston this weekend, and I saw UFC, TapouT and Affliction gear everywhere. A few Red Sox hats, too.
Anthony S. (Devon, PA)
Where does Wanderlei Silva go from here? Whom do you think he fights next?
Jon Anik (1:10 PM)
Still not convinced he can make 185.
Charlie (Philly)
What do expect is next for Condit? Do you expect he will be on one of the September cards (UFC 103 or Fight Night 19)?
Jon Anik (1:12 PM)
No official word on Condit's next opponent. Perhaps he would get the Paulo Thiago-Jon Fitch loser. Maybe Dan Hardy? I'd reckon the UFC wants Condit to get a W after the loss to Kampmann.
Adam (Provo, UT)
which is better in your opinion...Five Guys or In-n-Out?
Jon Anik (1:13 PM)
Great question to pose to a fat kid at heart. I gotta go Five Guys, but that's based on T.S.E. (time spent eating). No In-n-out Burger near me, so I've only had it once or twice.
Brian (New York)
If Paulo Thiago (by the grace of God) stops Jon Fitch, is he next for a title shot?
Jon Anik (1:14 PM)
I don't see it. I thought the win over Koscheck was a bit fluky/lucky and I still think he's got work to do. Of course, a crowd-pleasing finish of Fitch would help his case greatly. But I just don't see it.
Adam (Provo, UT)
Brian...Paulo losing to Fitch is as close to a sure thing as it gets in MMA
Vinod (New York)
Hey JA,What do you make of Dana White's backing off of (flat-out denying, rather) commenting on Vitor Belfort's possible addition to the UFC?
Jon Anik (1:15 PM)
Didn't see or hear the denial/back track. I think a lot of folks were surprised Dana was so forthcoming with his interest in a fighter who is contracted to another promotion.
Dre (Atl)
You know if Roger Gracie has any striking ability?
Jon Anik (1:16 PM)
I've only seen one of his fights, and he certainly wasn't getting it done on his feet. I'm sure his stand-up doesn't sniff his BJJ, but I assume he's been working non-stop on his striking in advance of his Strikeforce debut next month.
Charlie (Philly)
I'm going to be up in Beantown at the end of the summer to catch a Sawks game - any recommendations for places to eat?
Jon Anik (1:17 PM)
My favorite restaurant in Boston is Houston's in Fanueil Hall. But that is a chain. So I'd hit Strega or Ristorante Fiore in Boston's North End...if you like Italian.
mike (TN)
What do you think about Dana not denying a Chuck Liddell/ Rich Franklin fight at UFC 103? Doesn't Rich deserve a fighter closer to the title shot???
Jon Anik (1:17 PM)
Rich Franklin, as you guys know, was in Bristol last week for MMA Live. He has zero interest in fighting Chuck Liddell. And yes, he deserves a fight that will put him on track for a future title shot. A win over Chuck doesn't do anything for Ace's immediate future.
Charlie (Philly)
Dana definitely backpedaled on Belfort but I think a lot of people misunderstood what he said - he suggested that Belfort v. Silva would be a great fight and that he would certainly pursue signing Belfort.
Jon Anik (1:18 PM)
Fair enough.
Rob (North Jersey)
Does Lee Murray's story hurt MMA, by people thinking its a sport of thugs? Or, does it help MMA, under the heading any publicity is good publicity?
Jon Anik (1:19 PM)
Spent a lot of time talking to Pat Miletich today about Lee Murray. What an interesting individual Murray is. Your question is a good one. I'm not sure the Murray timeline helps or hurts MMA. What do you think?
Dre (Atl)
After New York, the next biggest TV market / Population center without a UFC show would be Florida. Do they have laws against MMA or has the UFC just not gotten around to scheduling something there?
Jon Anik (1:20 PM)
I know the WEC has been in Florida recently. Not sure if and when the UFC was there. But MMA is fully licensed and regulated in Florida. Bellator wouldn't have done two of its first 12 shows there if MMA wasn't 100% sanctioned.
The-Scooch (NYC)
Buy or Sell. Lashley signs with UFC after his next fight?
Jon Anik (1:20 PM)
Sell. I think he's still 2-4 fights away from inking with a major promotion.
Brian (New York)
How would you see Cain Velasquez against Couture or Noguiera, who seem to be the only other fighters besides Lesnar
Jon Anik (1:22 PM)
I think you are selling the UFC's heavyweight division a bit short. I think Velasquez would fare favorably against Nogueira, but he's not the total package yet and I think Couture could still have his way with Cain. I really want to see Velasquez-Carwin fight before either one of them gets a shot at Mir or Lesnar's belt.
Ryan (Idaho falls, Idaho)
I just read that mma was sanctioned in Hawaii. It's no new york but I think it still a pretty big deal as well.
Jon Anik (1:23 PM)
It's interesting, Ryan, b/c now-defunct EliteXC actually staged two shows in Hawaii when MMA wasn't fully regulated. Now that it is, I expect the UFC to touch down there soon, with BJ Penn, of course, as the headliner.
Matt (Atlanta)
Hey jon, early prediction on overeem vs Rogers? Also, do you think jake shields fights for a title next?
Jon Anik (1:25 PM)
I don't think Jake Shields' next fight will be for a belt, unless the UFC puts him in a bout to determine a welterweight champion. I don't expect him to be first in line for a shot at Cung Le, if and when Le decides to take off the make-up (I'm one to talk) and fight again. As for Overeem-Rogers, Alistair has the edge. More well-rounded. But I picked Rogers to beat AA and wouldn't sleep on Brett.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
You need to get on The Herd w/ Colin Cowherd to promote UFC 100
Jon Anik (1:27 PM)
I started my time in Bristol with ESPN Radio and know Colin well. His producer Fisch is a good friend. I've been on with CC before talking MMA, and hope to at least be part of 'Spanning the Globe' next week from Las Vegas.
Jeff (Silva) (MD)
Where does the loser of the Mir/Lesnar fight go? Couture/Nog winner/loser?
Jon Anik (1:27 PM)
I think there is some value in a Couture-Lesnar rematch, and I also see some value in a Couture-Mir fight. I think Randy will get another crack at the belt, provided he beats Big Nog.
Brian (New York)
The Jon Anik video blog...your thoughts?
Jon Anik (1:28 PM)
Not a bad idea. As long as I don't have to shave. They let Florian do whatever he wants. I showed up with a beard once and almost lost my job!
Sean (VT)
Where does Tim Sylvia go now? Arvloski?
Jon Anik (1:30 PM)
I'd be lying to you if I said I was all that curious where either guy goes from here. Your guess is as good as mine. There is some buzz that the UFC might be interested in re-signing Arlovski. I'm just not buying it. His price tag is too prohibitive.
Adam (Provo, UT)
YES, we need to see how Anik rolls in Vegas!
Jon Anik (1:31 PM)
Anik sits in the Race
Cory (Philadelphia)
Cowherd is not the way to spread love of MMA. ESPN's biggest personality (present company excluded) is probably Simmons. Get on his podcast and convince him that MMA and UFC 100 are things he should like/attend. That will help spread the word fastest.
Jon Anik (1:32 PM)
Send him an e-mail and tell him to have me on! I will reach out as well. I used to interview Bill when I did radio in Boston. Brilliant guy. I do expect to do a handful of radio hits next week from UFC 100. Will try to let you guys know in next week's chat.
Jon Anik (1:32 PM)
...and by the way, next week's chat may be on Tuesday, as I will be traveling all day Wednesday. Stay tuned.
Chris (Danville, Ca)
Were you impressed at all with Atencio's come-from-benhind win this weekend?
Jon Anik (1:33 PM)
Most definitely. Thought he exuded toughness and some versatility. And, if he didn't have cardio, he would've gassed after nearly being knocked out. I give Tom a lot of credit for getting in there. And let's not forget...he's 42.
Dave (Laguna, CA)
Will WAMMA be present at UFC 100 to award Pierre or Alves their Welterweight belt? Or will they award it somewhere else, like MMA Live? Or not at all because they are not legit?
Jon Anik (1:35 PM)
Ouch. That had way too much comedic value not to post. I've defended WAMMA in this space before, despite the organization's flaws. I still stand behind the basic premise, if not the methodology.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Did you buy Forrest Griffin's book?
Jon Anik (1:36 PM)
Not yet. It's on the short list. Now that Bellator is done for the season, I vow to read it. You guys have been on me now for awhile. No excuses.
Snapple Cap (My desk)
A sneeze travels out of your nose at 100mph. Your welcome.
Jon Anik (1:37 PM)
First time a Snapple Cap has told me something I already knew. Appreciated, nonetheless.
Jim (Charlotte)
Is Jones on the main card for UFC 100?
Jon Anik (1:37 PM)
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Do you wear TapouT shirts while at the gym?
Jon Anik (1:39 PM)
I own one TapOut shirt. Also have one of Ken-Flo's One More Round fight shirts, and a Rashad Evans Silver Star T. But I go long sleeves at the gym.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
How many kids do you have? Who is their fave fighter?
Jon Anik (1:39 PM)
0. Not married. When I do have kids, their favorite fighter will be Mamed Khalidov or Krzysztof Soszynski. My girlfriend is Polish.
Finn (Seattle, WA)
What's your favorie Michael Bolton song? I celebrate his entire catalog.
Jon Anik (1:40 PM)
Too many to name.
Jorge Alonzo (Optometrist's Office)
UFC has run several events at the Seminole Hard Rock in Florida, and even inexplicably allowed me to referee! What a country!
Jon Anik (1:40 PM)
Haha. Awesome. That's a tremendous venue for MMA.
henry (miami fl)
do you have a man crush on kenflo
Jon Anik (1:41 PM)
I used to. But after this extended MMA Live hiatus, I'm kind of over him.
mark (denver)
Is there truth to the leak of kimbo already losing?
Jon Anik (1:42 PM)
I've heard there is a leak, but not that it's Kimbo losing. I've always been impressed in the past that TUF results haven't gotten out prematurely. I remember trying to pluck some info. out of Santino DeFranco at a Bellator show in Chicago, and he closed up like that plant in Little Shop of Horrors.
Jon Anik (1:42 PM)
...probably not the best reference for an MMA chat. Musical theatre...
henry (miami fl)
hard rock fl lots of hot chicks
Jon Anik (1:43 PM)
I like hot chicks.
Lawrence (Denver)
Jon how many times have you made Kenny tap out at the gym?
Jon Anik (1:43 PM)
I've only been to the Florian Martial Arts Center once and Sidyodtong in Somerville twice. Both times I was in a suit. He punched me in the gut once filming MMA for Dummies, and it didn't feel real food.
Chris (Danville, Ca)
Just read on Sherdog that Antonio Silva is getting back into action. Is there any chance he could cut to 265 and make a run at the UFC heavyweight belt, seems like a legit fighter.
Jon Anik (1:44 PM)
I'm a big fan. He's an extremely well-rounded heavyweight. If the UFC came calling, I am certain Big Foot could cut down to 265.
Jon Anik (1:44 PM)
If Lesnar can do it, Big Foot can do it.
Brian (New York)
Will the mullet make a comeback if Kenflo wins the title and Miguel Torres beats Bowles?
Jon Anik (1:45 PM)
Sources tell me Florian's mullet days are over. Feedback wasn't real positive. And Torres owns the mullet. If he hasn't turned it into a trend yet, I'm not sure it's ever coming back.
Ryan Caldwell (DC)
Jonny, Varner whooped Cerrone last fight. Why am I the only one who remembers that? Once he's cleared, he'll do it all over again.
Jon Anik (1:46 PM)
You may be right. And you are right, in that Varner got a lot accomplished in that fight. I think what most fight fans remember, however, is Varner on the canvas and unable to continue. I just think Cerrone is on a steep incline right now, and will finish Varner in the rematch. Can't wait to see it, either way. Good question, Ryan. Thanks.
henry (miami fl)
mcneil should be next to sport a mullet
Jordan (Baton Rouge)
I don't know about whooped I thought Cerrone was very close in the fight and was wearing Varner down when the fight was stopped.
Lawrence (Denver)
Would you let Gina choke you out if she was on MMA Live like she did to that one guy? Or will you make Frankin get choke out by her.
Jon Anik (1:49 PM)
We have thought about having Kenny (or another fighter) choke me out on MMA Live for effect. The risk isn't great, but neither is the reward (although I'm sure some of you would love to see me go to sleep). But sure, I would let Gina choke me unconscious. Cyborg? Not sure.
Ryan Caldwell (DC)
Jon, IMPORTANT QUESTION! Is it true that the UFC is banning One More Round and a few other clothing companies from UFC 100?
Jon Anik (1:50 PM)
Yes. Articles all over the web. I haven't broached the subject with Kenny yet, but I will at UFC 100.
Nate (Minneapolis, MN)
Mcneil cant rock the mullet it would interfere with lockin up some cougars!
Jon Anik (1:50 PM)
Exactly, Nate!
Charlie (Philly)
Varner was gassing big time in the Cerrone fight and whooped isn't a word I would use when the result was a split decision.
Testosterone (Jon Anik's Body)
Note to self: People might not believe I like hot chicks if I continue making analogies to Broadway musicals.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Will the UFC ever hold shows in stadiums like the Staple Center or The palace of Auburn Hills? or are their too many problems w/ fans seeing the fight?
Jon Anik (1:51 PM)
UFC 104 October 24th is at the Staples Center in L.A.
Ryan (Idaho Falls (Idaho))
I'm bummed that the Bonner and Coleman fight isn't on the main card for ufc 100. I hope its good enough to be shown on the broadcast because I think that fight is going to own.
Jon Anik (1:52 PM)
I agree. It's a hugely important fight for the UFC futures of both guys. And that usually leads to a great fight.
Mike (Boston)
Isn't Antonio Silva suspended in the US for steroid use? I doubt the UFC will come calling until he resolves that situation.
Jon Anik (1:52 PM)
It's a one-year suspension due to expire later this month. But there is no guarantee that happens.
Nate (Minneapolis, MN)
Ok, no lashley thoughts how about a MMA live preview? Nice job by Rich Franklin by the way.
Jon Anik (1:54 PM)
Yeah, Franklin did a nice job last week. Pat Miletich is in the hot seat tomorrow. We will talk about Lashley's lathering of Bob Sapp. We'll also bring in 'The Man', a.k.a. Jacob 'Stitch' Duran, the best cutman on the planet. Not a ton of UFC 100 stuff. We're saving that for next week.
toesh (dearborn, mi)
jon jones is said to be the next big thing at 205. any chance he has trouble w/o'brien?
Jon Anik (1:54 PM)
I doubt it. I expect an early finish out of Jones. And he better enter the Octagon to 'Angry Johnny' again. That song lit up the MGM Grand in January.
Charlie (Philly)
Won't the fact that Antonio Silva fought in Japan in January while suspended in the US effect his ability to get licensed in the states again?
Jon Anik (1:55 PM)
Quite possibly. That is why there is no guarantee his suspension will end July 26th, the date of his EliteXC fight with Justin Eilers, after which he tested positive.
Jeremy (Nashville, TN)
Is there any chance of the UFC coming back to Nashville or going to Memphis for the Rashad-Rampage fight?
Jon Anik (1:55 PM)
Very much so.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Will Ken Shamrock ever fight again? Who? Where?
Jon Anik (1:56 PM)
You've had some great questions today, Jason. But do you really care about Ken Shamrock? Really? I don't enough to even think about his next fight. He stopped being relevant a long time ago.
Marc (Malden, MA)
Ever since Franklin/Silva, there's been talk of a 195lb division. Do you think that will happen? If the UFC adds a division, I'd rather it be 230 and remove the heavyweight limit.
Jon Anik (1:57 PM)
I agree with you, and I don't think a cruiserweight division will materialize anytime soon.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Thanks Jon -and yes I do care. I want to see him fight Frank Shamrock.
Jon Anik (1:57 PM)
Fair enough, man. That fight would pique my curiousity. But other than that, I'd rather Ken just go away.
Steve Mtz (New Mex)
Runnin late Jonny Boy but couldnt miss out! Any thoughts to Vitor saying he's down for Spider, yet he clearly ducked Gegard. Call me a hater but I thought that was WEAK haha props Jonny
Jon Anik (1:59 PM)
I guess I didn't see it exactly how you did, Steve. I think Belfort would've fought Mousasi at 185, but there was no real incentive for him to fight Gegard at a catchweight, or at any weight above 185. But you're certainly not the only one with that opinion.
Mike (Riverside)
Minus the kenflo lost, how would you rank huerta in the 155 division and do you think he will be back in the ufc after his so called acting career
Jon Anik (2:00 PM)
It'll be interesting to see what happens if Huerta can get past Maynard. Perhaps he would put the acting stuff on hold and try to get back to the top of the division. Kenny talked ravingly about Roger before they fought. A whole lot of respect there.
Matt Z (Toledo, OH)
about Vitor Belfort.... I saw Inside the Octagon where dana said he wanted him, but in a recent interview, he said that he hadn't talked to Vitor and kind of dodged the question. what do you think will happen?
Jon Anik (2:01 PM)
Ultimately, I still believe Vitor ends up in the UFC. His fight with Jorge Santiago is no gimme, though. I may actually pick Santiago to win. How do you like them apples?
Ryan (Idaho Falls (Idaho))
What do you think about mir's comments on lesnar's size and how it will be a handicap for lesnar in their fight.
Jon Anik (2:02 PM)
I think Frank is supremely intelligent about MMA, and his confidence is peeking. That said, I don't think Lesnar's size is a disadvantage. I think Brock's disadvantage could be the extended layoff.
Jon Anik (2:03 PM)
And speaking of Lesnar-Mir, don't forget: MMA Live at UFC 100 begins next Thursday at 3:30 ET. Four live shows. Randy Couture on the panel Thursday and Friday. We are blowin' it out for you guys!
Nathan (Portsmouth, Ohio)
Anik, those are some bad apples. Santiago has a suspect chin and was booted from the UFC for that. Vitor has looked sharp and on his game after doing some training at Xtreme Couture. His quick hands will land on Santiago for another KO victory.
Vinod (New York)
Those apples suck.
Jon Anik (2:03 PM)
Hahaha. We shall see.
Charlie (Philly)
WOW, Anik making a pick on a fight this far out!!
Lawrence (Denver)
Who will be on the show with you and Frankin tomorrow.
Jon Anik (2:03 PM)
One of the classiest guys in all of MMA, Pat Miletich.
Erik (Austin, TX)
Hey Jon...what's going on with your boy Mir? Reports are that Forrest is roughing him up pretty good during training and that black eye he's got is pretty impressive.
Jon Anik (2:04 PM)
Yeah, the black eye looks pretty bad. But Frank, as I said, is a smart guy. I don't question his preparation. He'll taper it off this week, and be ready to go on 7/11.
cj trenton nj [via mobile]
do you honestly believe that gsp can beat spider
Jon Anik (2:05 PM)
Sure. With a pistol to my temple, would I bet on GSP? That's a different question. But can he beat Silva? Sure.
Jim (Acton, MA)
Prediction on the UFC Hall of Fame inductee?
Jon Anik (2:05 PM)
Chuck Liddell.
Dave (Laguna, CA)
If you're Belfort, and think you can exploit Mousasi at 185, you would push for the fight to be at that weight. Mousasi should be at 185, and he would be small compared to most UFC 205ers. He's making the wrong decisions with his career, and he has more potential tha Shogun Rua.
Jon Anik (2:06 PM)
Good point(s), Dave. Mousasi is hell-bent on never fighting at 185 again. It's a bit surprising, but obviously the weight cut is a huge issue.
Brendhan (Texas)
I don't think you're insane for picking Santiago. He's been one of the hottest middleweights on the planet since leaving the UFC. And "Rampage" said he's fighting Rashad this December in Memphis. Have a great 4th of July!
Jon Anik (2:07 PM)
And Brendhan knows his stuff. I feel much better about my prediction now. I, too, have been impressed with Santiago of late. Otherwise, I wouldn't have backed him. Have a good 4th, bro.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
What did you think of Dana putting himself on the 1st ever UFC magazine?
Jon Anik (2:08 PM)
I think he deserves to be there. I mean, I wish he would put more of the focus on the fighters. But Dana White, like it or not, does as much or more to move the UFC PPV needle as any active fighter.
Charlie (Philly)
Mousasi has no reason to cut back down to 185. He can rule the 205 lb division in Japan since all of the top guys are in the UFC.
Kenny (Wshington)
What are your plans for the 4th of july weekend? time to get hammered and throw superman punches to everyone i see at the bbq
Jon Anik (2:09 PM)
My plan is similar, except I'll be employing the spinning backfist, Yahir Reyes-style. Actually, I'll be here at ESPN doing MLB highlights with Paul Severino. Good times.
Emeril (TV)
What's your go-to holiday BBQ menu item, hot dogs or hamburgers? Perhaps a brat?
Jon Anik (2:09 PM)
I'm just fat like you Emeril. I don't discriminate.
Richard (Beamont)
What about my boy tyson griffin, shouldnt he be considered to be a top contender at 155?
Jon Anik (2:10 PM)
He's in the discussion, but I still have Maynard, Edgar, and even Sherk above him on my list. Had he gotten the decision against Sherk, he'd be in a much better bargaining position.
Richard (Beamont)
Matt Z (Toledo, OH)
Do you think Alan Belcher can spoil another big name debut by beating Akiyama like he did Kang?
Jon Anik (2:11 PM)
Good question, and I wouldn't put it past him. I was definitely among those surprised at the Kang result.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Will TO or Chad Ochocinco ever attempt MMA?
Jon Anik (2:11 PM)
Shaq will for sure. Not too sure about those wideouts.
Jim (Acton, MA)
If you don't think Wanerlei can make 85 than what do you think is next in store for the Axe Murdered?
Jon Anik (2:12 PM)
Well, Jim, his next fight will, in all likelihood, be at 185. I'm just not sure he will be able to make the cut. But he's gotta try.
Alan (Plantation, FL)
What's next for Ben Saunders?
Jon Anik (2:13 PM)
Needs to improve. He's got a lot of offensive skills, but has to work on his defense and his ground game. Kid has plenty of tools, but Mike Swick brought him firmly back down to Earth.
Steve Mtz (New Mex)
I know Bellator locked down your boy Alvarez, but id love to see how he'd fare against the top lw in the ufc. i think the dudes style and overall skill would make him dana's marketing lovechild. kid's got a bright future
Jon Anik (2:14 PM)
If I was starting a promotion, I would target Eddie Alvarez over almost any other lightweight. You outline a lot of the reasons why. And, in spending some time with Eddie, he wants to continue to test himself against the best in the world. That's why it's incumbent upon Bellator to sign some top 155ers, be it Gesias Cavalcante, or Joachim Hansen, etc. I don't expect to see Alvarez in the UFC anytime soon.
Nate (Minneapolis, MN)
Bellator champ with the brightest future? And no waffling Anik!! I want a real answer!
Jon Anik (2:16 PM)
Hard to not say Eddie Alvarez, given the marked improvement we've seen over the last 6-8 months. Hector Lombard is an absolute animal, but at 5'9", a middleweight like Nate Marquardt would pose a lot of problems. Gotta say Eddie.
Brendhan (Texas)
Is there anything you would personally like to see Bellator do differently next season?
Jon Anik (2:17 PM)
Good question. Certainly adding depth to the talent pool, especially in the tournaments, is a must. Lyman Good is, in my opinion, on the cusp of doing great things. But I can guarantee you the field in the next WW tournament will be much deeper, top to bottom. Also, would like to see Bellator put every fight up at bellator.com. There were some unbelievable fights this season that never hit the web.
ryan (idaho falls, idaho)
People are saying a fight against liddel and franklin should happen but how about liddel fight the winner of Bonner/ coleman fight. I think that would be some high quality entertainment.
Jon Anik (2:18 PM)
I've been calling for Liddell-Bonnar for months. As stated above, Rich Franklin has no interest in a fight with Chuck, and how can you blame him?
Matt Z (Toledo, OH)
What were your feelings on the recent Gilbert Yvel fight?
Jon Anik (2:19 PM)
Yvel looked great, as he often does if he can find his range and get his hands going. If you're asking about the two late strikes after Rizzo was out, Yvel deserves some criticism, albeit not as much as the referee. Pay attention!
Matt Z (Toledo, OH)
i agree with ryan, liddell fights bonnar/coleman winner IF he fights again
Ryan (New York)
UFC 100: Buy or Sell over 1.5 million PPV buys?
Jon Anik (2:20 PM)
Buy. It won't hit 2 million, though. Not quite in the De La Hoya-Mayweather class, but it'll do a great number.
Bill Simmons (Penthouse)
I give you permission to co-opt one of my staples: Who would you put on the Mt. Rushmore of MMA? Mine are Royce, Chuck, Randy and Fedor
Jon Anik (2:21 PM)
We did a whole MMA Live segment on the Mount Rushmore of MMA. I think that mountain will look a whole lot different 5-10 years from now. As of today, my only two locks are Royce Gracie and Fedor Emelianenko. Other two spots are open to interpretation.
Jeff (Bama)
Dana needs to get his fat butt in the gym so he and Atencio can have a pink slip match. Winner gets the other's Heavy champ.
Jon Anik (2:21 PM)
I wonder where Dana's cardio is at. Strength doesn't appear to be an issue.
Shannon (West Virginia)
Kimbo gets put on that Mt. Rushmore of MMA right? ha
Jon Anik (2:22 PM)
Obviously. He gets the other two spots.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
I'd put dana on the Mt. Rushmore of MMA - he is/was the savior of the sport.
Jon Anik (2:22 PM)
So would a lot of others. But not me. Not a fighter.
David (SC)
Will the MMA Live crew get any spots from UFC 100 on Sportscenter?
Jon Anik (2:22 PM)
Can't guarantee anything right now, but we will be filming some, and I hope they use 'em!
Rob (Utah)
Hey John what do you think of a Machida/A. Silva superfight? I would rather that than a Silva/GSP.
Jon Anik (2:23 PM)
Machida and Silva are friends and all indications are that they would never fight.
Ken (Pittsburgh)
Tito Ortiz was in Pittsburgh on Saturday talking about himself as usual. Do you think he will fight before the year ends? And why do you think the Gina Carano-Cyborg fight (and the rest of that quality card) on CBS?
Jon Anik (2:24 PM)
Ken, the Carano-Cyborg card is not on CBS. If you're asking me why it is not on CBS, I just think Strikeforce wants to build even more momentum before making that plunge. As for Tito Ortiz, I think late 2009/early 2010 is realistic. But Tito has made a lot of announcements over the past year, and nothing has materialized.
Howard (ST.LOUIS BABY!!!)
I call it now anik, Alves will be 5 pounds over the cut
Jon Anik (2:25 PM)
No way. Biggest fight of his life, and title bouts don't afford even a 1 lb. allowance. Thiago tips the scale at 170. Stamp it.
David (SC)
Has the odds came out in Vegas yet for the Spider vs. Forest fight?
Jon Anik (2:26 PM)
Yes. And the money is already coming in on Anderson Silva. Silva is now -340. And Griffin 260. Early money coming in on B.J. Penn as well. Florian now 160, if you're curious.
Howard (ST.LOUIS BABY!!!)
UFC 100 should be this week durring 4th of july weeked. That would literally be the best 4th ever. celeberating USA with UFC, what can be better than that?
Jon Anik (2:27 PM)
...and it would allow me to go to my girlfriend's brother's wedding in Aruba on 7/11! Agreed.
Ryan (New York)
Jim Rome shows MMA a ton of love on his TV show! That's good!
Jon Anik (2:28 PM)
Yes, we at MMA Live are big fans of Jim Rome, and appreciate his recognition of Mixed martial arts as the purest sport in the world.
Vinod (New York)
How do you think Shogun fares against Lyoto? I know it's early.....
Jon Anik (2:29 PM)
As stated last week, I like Machida to win. But I think Shogun presents the greatest challenge right now among UFC LHW contenders.
Nate (Dayton ohio)
What are your thoughts on shogun getting a title shot against machida? was he the best available?
Jon Anik (2:29 PM)
I think so. Rampage deserved and was offered the fight. But he chose instead to settle his grudge with Rashad Evans.
Baumer (NYC)
Are we really to believe that Thiago has a chance against Fitch? Lucky punch against Kos should not put him on the title path.
Jon Anik (2:30 PM)
I agree. I think UFC 100 will be a big night for Jon Fitch. He's sort of like the forgotten man, relegated to the prelims at UFC 94, etc. Jon Fitch is elite.
Cory (Philadelphia)
The MMA Mt. Rushmore should be carved on Bob Sapp. There is enough room...
Jon Anik (2:30 PM)
Newt (Jacksonville)
I got money on Alves. Here's hoping they let him enter the Octagon at 217. Just win, baby!
Jon Anik (2:31 PM)
Alves is a huge underdog. I thought the line would be closer. But GSP is so tough to bet against and the Vegas oddsmakers aren't gonna get burned again like they did at UFC 94.
Kristian (Wall Street, NY)
Right now, would Kimbo be a top 5 heavyweight based only on boxing ability?
Jon Anik (2:32 PM)
cj trenton nj [via mobile]
what's next on the schedule for urijah faber?
Jon Anik (2:32 PM)
I'd like to see him fight Leonard Garcia. First order of business is getting that right hand back to 100 %. Surgery was fairly invasive.
Marc (Malden, MA)
I realize it's because of work, but I also know there's going to be some sort of punishment for not attending your girlfriend's brother's wedding. So what is it?
Jon Anik (2:34 PM)
It's been a tough situation. Not gonna lie. Balancing career and personal life is always tricky. Just felt an obligation to MMA Live to cover the biggest event in MMA history. I waffled for awhile. But, in all honesty, I would've missed my twin brother's wedding for UFC 100. That's how monumental an event it is, in my opinion.
Nate (Minneapolis, MN)
You always say you have no respect for kimbo but you answer a ton of questions. I know you'll say lots of question in the chat que but c'mon jonny!! Lots of more deserving fighters to talk about no?
Jon Anik (2:36 PM)
Nate, you're a smart guy. Kimbo Slice is the 2nd most famous MMA fighter on the planet (Chuck Liddell is No. 1). We always get a ton of questions on Kimbo, and I have to cater to the masses sometimes. You know I don't think much of the Slice man. I would assume you are critical, then, of the MMA leader (UFC) for signing him!
David (SC)
Who has the biggest weight advantage on fight night on against the norm at their weight class? Alves, Mike Brown, Forest, or Lesnar?
Jon Anik (2:36 PM)
I would say Lesnar and Forrest Griffin. Both are huge for their weight classes.
Baumer (NYC)
Who is the guest host this week?
Jon Anik (2:36 PM)
Andy (Ann Arbor)
Know of any resources to help people find MMA training in their area?
Jon Anik (2:37 PM)
Not trying to be sarcastic, but I'd say the Internet is your best resource.
Lawrence (Denver)
If you move to tuesday next week will you be on at the same time?
Jon Anik (2:38 PM)
***NEXT WEEK'S CHAT WILL BE TUESDAY AT 1 PM ET.***Thanks for the reminder, Lawrence.
Jason (Owosso, MI)
Andy - go to Grand Rapids.
Vinod (New York)
Do Torres and Florian ever get into it on the set? Even a little bit?
Jon Anik (2:38 PM)
Nah, they have a good relationship. But I can tell you that Torres wants to fight Kenny somethin' fierce.
Ken (Pittsburgh)
I saw a sneak preview of the "Public Enemies" movie starring Johnny Depp and Batman, and guess who else... none other than former UFC and Pride star Don Frye! He has a line or so, and is in a bunch of scenes... making a nice transition to life after fighting. Very good flick, too.
Jon Anik (2:38 PM)
Didn't see that. Pretty cool.
Leo (Boston MA)
Jon Fitch has a interest in seeing GSP or Alves winning at UFC 100?
Jon Anik (2:41 PM)
Fitch will be rooting for Alves, since he owns a win over him. Also not sure how many people want to see Fitch-GSP II, given how one-sided their first encounter was at UFC 87.
Mark (New Orleans)
What do you think is next for melvin guillard? Spencer fisher maybe? He was pretty impressive vs tibau
Jon Anik (2:41 PM)
Sure. I thought Guillard showed some signs against Tibau as well.
Jim (Acton, MA)
I would like to give an endorsement to Miggy Torres for his MMA for Dummies... he was unbelievably smooth in his transitions and explanations.
Jon Anik (2:42 PM)
Agreed. Torres doesn't hold anything back. Supremely confident individual.
Jon Anik (2:44 PM)
Alright, fellas. Gotta bounce. Don't forget: MMA Live at UFC 100, beginning next Thursday from the Mandalay Bay with Randy Couture. Then, Weigh-in Special Friday, and pre and post-fight shows on Saturday. Also, next week's chat is Tuesday at 1PM ET, not Wednesday. And we've got Pat Miletich in Bristol tomorrow for MMA Live.

I need to cut a steel pole. It is the pole of an inground basketball goal. It is currently standing up and anchored with concrete to the ground. I am totally clueless about metal cutting.
Is it possible to "saw off" the pole near its base ? If yes, what type of saw or cutting tool do I need to use ? Any advice on how to go about it ?
For background, this is an old and broken goal installed by the previous owner of the house. It is just outside our fence, on the back alley. This morning a city inspector knocked on our door and asked that it be removed immediately, since some big trucks are having problems going through the alley.
Another option would be to break the concrete base where it is anchored. But that seems to me like even a bigger and more complex job.
Please help.
Thanks, Andy
Andy wrote: (clip)Any advice on how to go about it ? ^^^^^^^^^^ Oxy-acetylene cutting torch. Drill a hole just where it comes out of the concrete imbedment, to make it easy to start the cut. Afterwards, grind it off smooth and fill with concrete. The cutting part should take, maybe, two minutes. Maybe someone in your area with a torch will offer to help. Where are you?
Man oh man that's extreme. I've cut hundreds of steel objects off that were imbedded in concrete and lived to cut another day. Mostly anchors, some pipe, wide flanges ect. An inexperienced type could direct enough heat into the concrete to pop a few pieces out, but that is how we learn not to do it!
clare wrote: Do NOT use a torch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The concrete will blast away something awfull. ^^^^^^^^^^^ I think NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you turn the torch directly onto the concrete, you will surely get some flaking and popping, but if you direct the flame to the inside of the pole, through a hole, as I suggested, you will not have this problem at all. The trick is to get someone with a torch to come help you. If you have to hire a professional, with a truck full of equipment, then it could be fairly expensive. In that case I would resort to a Sawzall, or just follow the legal counsel of several others in this thread, and let the city take care of it.
If the concrete contains that special expanding re-bar that is evidently used in Texas freeways, this could be a whole nother story. :-)
The cheapest and fastest method for you will probably be to get a 41/2" grinder ( Dewalt or Makita style ) and along extension cord at Home Depot or other tool store like that and grind through and around the pipe at the ground level about 90 percent of the out side. Then bend the pipe and it will probably break the rest or the way off. You can then grind the pipe flush with the ground. Be sure to wear your safety glasses.
Andy wrote:
A few ways:
Ideally, with a cutting torch. Blow a starter hole, and jump back in case it has water in it. Cut as low as you can. Maybe take a chisel and cut down an inch or so under the level of the street. Backfill with concrete.
Hand grinder. Hack saw. Sawzall. Circle saw with metal cutting blade.
Cutting with the means that will leave metal above ground, cut the stump vertically several times so that you can fold pieces inward and downward. Use large hammer to bend them over. Imagine banana peels, but going inward into the hole.
Whatever you do, have one or two people with ropes to pull the thing the way you want it to fall.
Good luck. Not a big project, but an interesting one where you have to be paying attention.
1) Rent a pipe cutter. Cut as low to the ground as possible. Smash the remaining stub down with a sledge. Or... 2) Get a shovel and dig around and below the concrete, it probably has no more than one bag of concrete. Use the pole as a big lever to drag the thing out of the ground, it won't be as hard as you think. Call the city to haul the thing away.

My personal preference is 3 wraps of 200gr primacord, but you could use a cutting torch, or at worst, tie a rope to the top of it, after wetting the ground around it for a day or two, then seeing if it will simply pull out of the ground, by pulling it over.
A hacksaw and some GOOD blades might be a good thing, depending on how much concrete flowed up into the pipe w hen it was installed.
Another question..is it on or off your property line? If its off your property line, and not yours..seems to be the city's problem..they can cut if down in very short order. If its inside your property line..why are the trucks driving on your property?
A shovel and a sledge hammer works fine, but takes a while. If you cannot come up with the tools such as a hacksaw or cutting torch, try as I said, wetting the soil well, with a hose trickling on it for a few days, then pulling it over with a rope tied to the top. Most posts of this nature are not generally in very deep. If the ground is wet, they generally topple over like a wind blown tree, roots and all.
A pressure washer, or even a hosepipe with a tightly focussed spray nozzle may be of great use in freeing the concrete base from the ground.
LOL. Good point. Missed that one!

It could be on his property but in the city easment for the alley. Think 'sidewalk' - you can build something over a sidewalk even though you own the land, same can go for the alley.
Me? I'd ask one of the trucks to push it over and get the driver to help me roll it out of the way. But then I've pulled out bushes from my front yard with a 4wd and a tow strap, I'm kind of messy that way.
I've read news stories about trash (dumped couches, washers) in the alleyway and the property owners are responsible for cleanup so the trash trucks can do their job. I have a 3' sidewalk right at the curb, but an 8' easement for utilities (5' past the sidewalk). That's most of my front yard. Technically the utility can come in ripup and fix their stuff and leave the mess, but they usually put things back.
I'll never forget the guy in my front yard who was standing in a 3' deep hole. Since it was 105 outside, he looked like a bog monster.
Joel. phx
Our HomeDepo have rent-a-centers. Must be something in there to hack down a pole. I'd go for something gas powered without a muffler,....
That or Harbor Freight has a $14 hand-held grinder you could use. Not nearly as impressive.
On Wed, 16 Jul 2003 11:49:26 -0700, "Michael"
Tell the city it's on their property, bring in a backhoe or Hiab and yank it out.
I agree with Jim, If it is not on your property then, and you did not put it in, then it is not your problem. If it is on your property, then it is still not your problem because it's on your property.
Of course this assumes there are no "laws" that are interfering with common sense.
P.S. I also agree with the cutting torch.

Andy, A cutting torch might work but you might want to check to make sure the pole is not concrete filled. When I installed on of these years ago I filled the pole with concrete, made a real solid instalation but hard to remove. :-) Paul

Hell, tell the local scrap guy he can have it if he cuts it down. I'd use a torch.
And if the pole is full of water (as was a flagpole I saw them trying to cut down when I was in high school), it can take a long time to cut through, at which point it attempts to put out the torch with a stream of water. I would drill two holes -- one where I intended to cut, and one a little lower, to drain the water below the ring of cutting, so you don't have this boiling heat sink on the inside of the pipe. It seemed to take forever for him to get that hole through, and a drill motor first, and while it is draining you set up your torch would probably make more sense.
Enjoy, DoN.

trace VEX function
Sends a ray from P along the normalized vector D.
Contexts: displace, fog, light, shadow, surface
See also: rayhittest, Raytrace VOP
void trace(vector cv&, vector of&, float af&, vector P, vector D, float shadow_bias, float max_contrib)
Sends a ray from P along the normalized vector D. The resulting color, opacity and alpha will be put in the export variables.
shadow_bias is typically a small number which is used to prevent self-shading.
max_contrib controls how much the result of the trace() call will contribute to the resulting pixel color. max_contrib has no effect on the results of the trace() call.
See optional parameters .
When hit testing polygons you can get lots of rays missing. In these cases triangulating the geometry can improves hits.

SRLP works to improve access to respectful and affirming social, health, and legal services for our communities. We believe that in order to create meaningful political participation and leadership, we must have access to basic means of survival and safety from violence.

Erie man waives hearing in stabbing
An Erie man faces trial on charges in a New Year's Day stabbing after waiving his preliminary hearing today.
Isaiah E. Brown, 23, waived his hearing before Erie 6th Ward District Judge Dominick DiPaolo on charges of aggravated assault, recklessly endangering and possessing an instrument of crime. He remains in the Erie County Prison on $100,000 bond.
Erie police accused Brown of stabbing Adam Westcott in the chest at a residence on West 26th Street on Jan. 1.

The increased popularity of the injection method of treatment is responsible for this authoritative work. Experience of many reliable workers showed that skepticism as to the safety and value of this method has been founded on theoretical misconceptions. On the other hand, the recent wave of enthusiasm over the injection method has created the impression that this treatment is not only a panacea for all types of hernias and varicose veins but also a simple office procedure which will save the patient time and money. The consensus at the present time is that the injection method has its field of usefulness, good results depending on an accurate differential diagnosis of the type of hernia, good judgment in selection of suitable cases, a thorough knowledge of the regional anatomy, proper technic of injection and, last but not least, a familiarity with fitting scientifically correct trusses. Too strong emphasis cannot be placed

The Mohegan Sun Casino, located along the Thames River in Uncasville, Connecticut, has a development history dating back to 1992, when three development companies proposed the idea of a casino to the Mohegan Tribe. The casino was officially opened in October 1996, and the Mohegan Tribe (specifically the Mohegan Tribal Gaming Authority) was given complete control of the casino by the original development group, Trading Cove Associates (TCA) in 2000. It should be noted that the casino employs about 10,000 local residents.
This facility, which has a Native American theme, is the second largest casino in the United States with 364,000 square feet of gaming space and 1,356 rooms in the hotel. Other features include the Mohegan Sun Arena (12,000-seat capacity), home of the WNBA's Connecticut Sun; a Cabaret Theatre; and, among other available services, significant meeting room space (including the largest ballroom in the Northeast) and retail shopping options. For the restaurant connoisseur, places to eat within the casino itself include Michael Jordan's Steakhouse, Todd English's Tuscany, and Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. There is even a radio station located on-site, The Wolf at 102.3 FM.
The gaming space includes a wide menu of options, including slot machines, poker, roulette, craps, blackjack, and keno. There are even opportunities for Caribbean stud poker and baccarat. For anybody looking for a little action at the races, there is live horse and greyhound racing.
Whether you are looking for an attractive place to book a business conference, want to do a little shopping or eat at a quality restaurant, or try your luck with the slots or at the tables, or a little bit of all these things, you can find it all and more at the Mohegan Sun Casino.

J.J. Abrams and Spielberg Discuss the Passion for Film in 'Super 8' Blu-ray Trailer
A lot of people considered Super 8 to be J.J. Abrams' tribute to youthful, spirited adventure and sci-fi films of generations past—it's likely that whichever of these movies you loved as a child was the one you felt most channeled by Super 8 (for me, it was The Goonies; for the friend I saw Super 8 with, it was E.T.…the options are numerous).
So, it's fitting, and a lot of fun, to see Abrams and the film's producer Steven Spielberg talk about their own youthful plights in filmmaking. The below featurette, and preview for the upcoming Super 8 Blu-ray pack, offers the points of view of Abrams, Spielberg and Super 8 castmembers Jade Griffiths and Gabriel Basso, on the movie and being a child fascinated by the making of and working with film.
Super 8 comes out on Blu-ray, with dozens of additional special features, on Nov. 22.

Slender - The Eight Pages
So I just downloaded the game and played it for the first time "thought it would be great to play the game since its almost Halloween and I've been wanting to play that game ever since I heard about the Slenderman and all his myths".Can't say the game didn't scare me,I even shut my room's door and shut off the lights so I could "experience" the game better.I managed to only get 2 pages.
For any who have played the game how was your "experience"?
Re: Slender - The Eight Pages
Me and Froot got all 8. It's hard. Just make sure you start out with the page inside the building, getting it later on is near impossible. then you have to pace your sprints, pace your flash light usage (it's on batteries, plus it attracts slender man).
first time I played I stared right at him because I didn't know what was going on. If you see him just run.
it was more scary once I watched the whole string of youtube videos (I don't recommend it since it will scare you)
Re: Slender - The Eight Pages
Re: Slender - The Eight Pages
I got really bored with it after getting 3 pages. Didn't have the drive after that to go get the rest.
Re: Slender - The Eight Pages
"Bane plays slender" is hilarious.
Re: Slender - The Eight Pages
Look up Markiplier on youtube, he plays every horror game and has great reactions (http://www.youtube.com/user/markiplierGAME)
and let us not forget...
I guess you could say I'm into the Slenderman mythos, I'm subscribed to like, 50 youtube ARG channels. Marblehornets and TribeTwelve are rad :o
