Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.

Topic: Poisonous Plants
Title: Are Cleveland Pear trees in Georgia toxic to horses and/ or dogs?
Answered by: Jimmy Mills
QUESTION:Are flowering Cleveland Pear trees (Pyrus calleryana) poisonous to horses and/or dogs? I have read that the prunus species are, does that include pear trees? Please help!
It is true that members of the genus Prunus (Plums, Peaches, Apricots, and Cherries) can be toxic. The toxic compounds are cyanogenic glycosides (chemicals that are converted to cyanide or prussic acid when eaten). The compounds are mostly in the leaves and in the seed. Apples (genus Malus) also contain these compounds, but I had not seen pears (genus Pyrus) being listed as containing the glycosides until i saw this article from the Kitsap Conservation District in Washington state. The compounds are more concentrated in wilted leaves than in fresh leaves.
I have included a list of databases of toxic plants that will allow you to learn what other plants to look out for.
Cornell University Plants Poisonous to Livestock
Universtiy of Pennsylvania's Poisonous Plants Database
Poisonous Plants of North Carolina
Additionally, here are databases that are specific for plants poisonous to horses.
To search the lists, I recommend using the scientific name since those names are generally standard, whereas the common names often vary in spelling and usage.
Since the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is committed to the care and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which they are being grown, I would be remiss not to point out that Pyrus calleryana is a non-native plant (introduced from Asia) and is considered an invasive species in some parts of the country.

A joint bid with San Diego and Tijuana? That sounds like a logistical and security nightmare to me. What does Tijuana have to offer the games? I never found that city very appealing.

Why doesn't Mr. Filner just get OBama to annex Tijuana into California?
They could even name it San Diego South or "South San Diego" like South
Salt Lake or South Ogden. Then there'd be no dual country bid, Mexico
could be paid billions for the land, and then there would be plenty of jobs for
public works employees to turn Tijuana into a decent city with water, sewer,
electricity, natural gas, buildings built to some code, fire and police
departments, etc.
The jobs would go on forever. And the border would move further south, eliminating the need for so many persons to cross it and relieve the congestion there as well..
That makes more sense than tapping Romney again.

Why don't we just pass out some weapons to the cartel's there and tell

then we could just open the boarder for the two weeks and that way all the
people could cross at one point and the people in Texas, New Mexico and Arizon
would not have to worry!
This whole thing of it just being a ploy to offer Mitt the job would ultimately lead to a real like begging for him to come in and save them. They may not like the results he would offer.

Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park
- Bicycles are allowed on 18 marked trails in the wildlife sanctuary that is known for its spring wildflowers. It's also home to mature oaks, sycamores and elderberry trees; two year-round streams; bobcats, snakes and hawks; and many rare and endangered plants and animals native to this area.
- There's a trail for every skill level of mountain bikers in the 3,900-acre park: technical, single-track trails for extreme mountain bikers (Lynx Trail); challenging uphill climbs and steep descents for intermediate riders wanting a quad burn (Cholla/Rock-It); and flatter, scenic courses along the canyon and base of the park for the beginner (Sycamore Run). Trails have an elevation gain/loss ranging from 300 feet to more than 800 feet. An ocean breeze is refreshing on a hot day.
- A popular introductory 9-½-mile bike ride departs from the park entrance, travels down a paved Aliso Creek Trail for 1 1/2 miles, up Wood Canyon Trail to the bottom of the Cholla Trail, and back to the parking lot.
Claim to fame: A variety of trails makes this wilderness park a perfect mountain biking training ground so close to the city. The bonus is that several trails lead to some of the most breathtaking views in the county. Notably, if you find your way to the "Top of the World" vista point off West Ridge Trail, you'll be at an elevation of 1,036 feet and treated on a clear day to a 360-degree view of the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, the sprawling park, the coast from Dana Point to Newport, the city of Laguna Beach at your feet and the San Gabriel and San Bernardino Mountains.
Did you know? The park was originally part of the Juaneno or Acajchemem tribal land and was later owned by Don Juan Avila, Louis Moulton, The Mission Viejo Company before falling under the jurisdiction of OC Parks.

COLUMBUS, Oh. - The Louisville Bats dropped game two of Saturday's doubleheader against Columbus as the Clippers walked off with a 2-1 win at Huntington Park.
Both teams scored one a piece in the third inning and the score would remain the same until the bottom of the ninth. After Columbus loaded the bases in the ninth, the Bats would bring in Kristopher Negron as the fifth in-fielder for extra assistance. However, he would not be of much help after a walk-off single from Columbus' Audy Ciriaco would drive in the winning run for the Clippers.
Columbus' right-handed starter Toru Murata would pitch seven innings with four hits, two walks and three strikeouts. Lefty Nick Hagadone (2-3, 3.09) would relieve him and earn the win.
Right hander Pedro Villarreal made his first start of the season for the Bats and was very impressive to say the least. He pitched four solid innings, allowing one run on three hits and one strikeout, but would not factor into the decision.
Louisville planned on using their bullpen frequently in tonight's game and they did just that. Nick Christiani relieved Villarreal in the fifth inning and allowed only two hits and one walk with one strikeout. Columbus would threaten to take the lead in the seventh with a leadoff triple by Giovanny Urshela, but Lee Hyde and Chad Rogers would combine to strikeout the next three batters and end the threat.
Jose Diaz (2-2, 1.85) made his return from the temporary inactive list in the eighth inning and retired the Clippers in order. However, a throwing error from Diaz to second in the ninth would end up being costly for the Bats and lead to Diaz being handed the loss.
Negron extended his on base streak to 22 games and hitting streak to six games after a leadoff double in the third inning. He would go 1-for-2.
Louisville will return to Louisville Slugger Field tomorrow to face Columbus at 7:05 p.m. Right hander Josh Smith (6-1, 3.29) will take the mound for the Bats against Columbus' right hander Kyle Davies (2-2, 4.40).

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 115 reviews
We stayed here for a night on our way home from the South West. It's a journey we take every year and we rarely stay in the same place twice but I would definitely stay here again. The rooms were nice enough. Not 5 star but clean and comfy with loads of space for my wife and I and our two kids. The location was great, just far enough out of Royan to avoid the traffic but close enough to go into town for dinner in the evening and there is ample secure parking. But the best thing about this hotel is the people that run it. They were lovely and went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Oh and it was good value too.

This meal was already a favorite for us, but we just welcomed two foreign exchange students - one from Spain and one from Turkey and this is the meal that gets the most excited reaction from EVERYONE! You know it's good if a family of 5 including picky eaters, and two teenagers from different countries all love it! (Although my boy from Spain did inform me they are not actually "enchiladas" lol! )
We loved this, subbed the garlic powder for chilli powder and went down really well with my OH, ate half today and the rest is in the freezer ready. Thanks very much.
So good! I have six VERY picky kids and they all loved these and ate them all gone! FINALLY a recipe that pleases EVERYONE! (and wasn't too spicey)
Easy and freezy! Family fav

This is actually going to happen more and more with ANN jobs. We're going to need to open an actual office sometime soon, this is something I've always been against (I like working from home), but the need for a proper location to ship PA from changes everything.
And if we have an office, we may as well make use of it.

|By the way, I'm gonna make the presumption that a majority of our readers are US-based; therefore, it'd make sense to specify in the ad whether the salary is US$20K or Canadian. Quite a bit of difference there, eh? x_X

Not much of a difference any more actually.
But yes, it's $20k Canadian. I figured that since it specified that the applicant must live in Montreal, this would be fairly obvious.
If you compare cost of living, earning $20k Canadian in Montreal is similar to earning about US$30k living in Boston. It's not a great salary, but it's quite fair, especially given that the applicant need not have graduated yet.

Ok, I've been told several different things about the Viz Freelance Comic artist job I've been intrested. The discription is:
VIZ is currently in need of freelance comic book artists for lettering and touch-up assignments.
Candidates need to have experience working with digital data and directly from art pages. Knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator is also preferred.
Viz produces a full line of monthly comic books, graphic novels, children's books and prestige-format art books. The ability to work in tandem with editors under strict deadline pressure is required.
Now could someone tell me what exactly they mean by touch-ups and lettering, if someone knows? Would it mean doing the lettering to bubbles, sound effects? Doing touchups to the soundeffects, alterations that got on the manga during the scanning process?
Or is it something more like cover design and layout?
Also, by Freelance, does that mean you can work at home, or you have to physically be near them and in their building?
Sorry, I've never really worked much before outside of Dairy Queen and a radio station, so I'm not too familar with these kinds of things.

This generally consists of adding in english sound effects, and then making it look like they were part of the original art.
It doesn't. Freelance means you aren't an employee, and that Viz doesn't owe you benefits or a steady flow of work / money. Depending on the client (Viz in this case) freelance workers sometimes need to work in the client's office, sometimes need to be able to walk into the office once in a while (ie: live nearby) and other times can work entirely from home, far away. I assume that this job works in either the second or third manner, but you'd have to ask Viz for specifics.

"This is one of those books that barely mentions planning as such, but has lots of implications for it. It's short but will repay some extra quiet time...Their goal is to get us to look at the world and its systems in a fresh new way."
Resilience Thinking: Sustaining Ecosystems and People in a Changing Worldby Brian Walker, David Salt
"Resilience thinking" offers a
Increasingly, cracks are appearing in the capacity of communities, ecosystems, and landscapes to provide the goods and services that sustain our planet's well-being. The response from most quarters has been for "more of the same" that created the situation in the first place: more control, more intensification, and greater efficiency.
"Resilience thinking" offers a different way of understanding the world and a new approach to managing resources. It embraces human and natural systems as complex entities continually adapting through cycles of change, and seeks to understand the qualities of a system that must be maintained or enhanced in order to achieve sustainability. It explains why greater efficiency by itself cannot solve resource problems and offers a constructive alternative that opens up options rather than closing them down.
In Resilience Thinking, scientist Brian Walker and science writer David Salt present an accessible introduction to the emerging paradigm of resilience. The book arose out of appeals from colleagues in science and industry for a plainly written account of what resilience is all about and how a resilience approach differs from current practices. Rather than complicated theory, the book offers a conceptual overview along with five case studies of resilience thinking in the real world. It is an engaging and important work for anyone interested in managing risk in a complex world.
Editorial Reviews
"Resilience Thinking is an impressive and highly successful effort to explain complex ecological and social interactions and changes in a unified framework and in language accessible to a wide audience. This book should stimulate extensive discussions on these critical issues and innovative ways to approach them."
"Resilience Thinking provides a much-needed accessible entrée into a concept that holds the key to our future.... Full of wisdom, sophisticated science, and practical guidance, this book provides profound ideas, insights, and hope to scientists, students, managers, and planners alike."
"Resilience Thinking is an essential guidebook to a powerful new way of understanding our worldand of living resiliently within itdeveloped in recent decades by an international team of ecologists. With five clear and compelling case studies drawn from regions as diverse as Florida, Sweden, and Australia, this book shows how all highly adaptive systemsfrom ecologies to economiesgo through regular cycles of growth, reorganization, and renewal and how our failures to understand the basic principles of resilience have often led to disaster. Resilience Thinking gives us the conceptual tools to help us cope with the bewildering surprises and challenges of our new century."
"...a clear, readable, non-academic explanation of the difference between an optimization mindset and a resilience mindset."

Living in a Complex World:
An Introduction to Resilience Thinking
Life is full of surprises. Sometimes we take them in stride; some times they trip us up.
Consider these questions: In business, why is a competitor's new product sometimes only a minor hiccough but at other times a major shock that can destroy an enterprise? In industry, how is growth sometimes unaffected by medium interest rate rises but at other times the smallest change brings things crashing down? Why is it that the same drought that causes serious degradation of resources on one farm has little effect on another?
The response of any system to shocks and disturbances depends on its particular context, its connections across scales, and its current state. Every situation is different; things are always changing. It's a complex world.
We are all managers of systems of one type or another. That system might be a home, a company, or a nation. You might have responsibility of caring for a nature reserve, developing a mining operation, or planning fishing quotas. Be it a farm, a business, a region, or an industry, we are all part of some system of humans and nature (social- ecological systems).
How do you approach the task of management in this complex world? Do you assume things will happen in much the same way tomorrow as they did yesterday? Are you confident the system you are working in won't be disrupted by little surprises? Do you appreciate what's needed for a system to absorb unexpected disturbances?
All of these questions relate to resilience, the ability of a system to absorb disturbance and still retain its basic function and structure. They also relate to concepts of sustainability and the challenge of servicing current system demands without eroding the potential to meet future needs. We live in a time of growing population coupled with a declining resource base and great uncertainty about a range of environmental issues such as climate change. How can we make the systems that we depend upon resilient?
But before we address issues of resilience, stop and consider for a moment our current practices of resource management.
The Drivers of Unsustainable Development
Our world is facing abroad range of serious and growing resource issues. Human-induced soil degradation has been getting worse since the 1950s. About 85 percent of agricultural land contains areas degraded by erosion, rising salt, soil compaction, and various other factors. It has been estimated (Wood et al. 2000) that soil degradation has already reduced global agricultural productivity by around 15 percent in the last fifty years. In the last three hundred years, topsoil has been lost at a rate of 300 million tons per year; in the last fifty years it has more than doubled to 760 million tons per year.
As we move deeper into the twenty-first century we cannot afford to lose more of our resource base. The global population is now expanding by about 75 million people each year. Population growth rates are declining, but the world's population will still be expanding by almost 60 million per year in 2030. The United Nations projections put the global population at nearly 8 billion in 2025. In addition, if current water consumption patterns continue unabated, half the world's population will live in water-stressed river basins by 2025.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) 2004 Annual Hunger Report estimates that over 850 million people suffer from chronic hunger. Hunger kills 5 million children every year.
The most famous fisheries in the world have collapsed one after the other, including those managed with the explicit aim of being sustainable (like the cod fisheries at Grand Banks, Newfoundland in 1992). Productive rangelands are turning into unproductive expanses of woody shrubs. Half of the world's wetlands have been lost in just the last century. Lake systems and rivers everywhere are experiencing algal blooms and a raft of problems associated with the oversupply of nutrients.
The World Wide Fund for Nature's (WWF) Living Planet report analyzes the eco- footprint of 150 countries around the world every two years. In its 2004 report it estimated that the average eco-footprint around the world was 2.2 global hectares per person (a global hectare is a hectare of biologically productive space with world-average productivity). However, there are only 1.8 global hectares available per person. This ecological overshoot means we are using the equivalent of about 1.2 planets or it takes 1.2 years to regenerate what humanity uses in one year. We are using nature more rapidly than it can regenerate.
Regrettably, like a cracked record, the story goes on and on, disturbingly repetitive (see also box 1, "A Few Stats on a Shrinking World").
You've seen or heard these claims before and it is not our intention to add to doom- and-gloom publications. Rather, this book is about options and hope based on a different way of doing things through understanding how the world really works. But we do need to keep in mind what is happening to the world. The imperative message is that the world is shrinking: the human population is growing while its resource base declines.
What lies behind this decline? There is, of course, no single underlying reason; instead, there is abroad spectrum of causes. But they can be grouped into three categories: in some situations people have no choice but to overuse their resource base; in others the decline is allowed to occur willfully; and the third driver of unsustainable development is misunderstanding—the application of inappropriate models of how the world works.
The first category (no choice) relates to problems associated with large populations coupled with poverty. In this case, no other option exists than to overuse resources. It's simply a matter of survival.
All too often, however, there is a choice, and a resource is allowed to decline or is purposely driven down. Sometimes rules and regulations encourage people to overuse resources, this is the case of subsidies for drought-stricken farmers. Often these farmers are either operating on marginal land or mismanaging resources but their operation is propped up by government payments designed to protect people from hardship. In other cases, tax breaks or industry support can lead to rapid loss of a forest or a fishery. These are what are known as "perverse incentives" (McNeely 1988). Furthermore, people sometimes deliberately choose to degrade a resource because they believe science and technology will always be able to come to the rescue.
In many cases, however, resource degradation is simply the result of humankind's insatiable desire to produce and consume, leading to willful short-term greed and corruption with no heed for the future. Some suggest this is just the way humans evolved—in a world without limits where success was based on maximizing your return. Human behavior is shaped strongly by drives from our evolutionary past (competition, territory, and power) without which we would not be here as a species or as the cultures we now have. Such evolutionary antecedents made sense when the human population was small and the world was seemingly endless but this is no longer the case. In today's world such behavior has begun to turn on us and will deprive future generations of the opportunities we enjoy.
But there is a third driver as well. Our environmental problems can't all be blamed on greed and overexploitation. Ignorance and misunderstanding also play a central role in the decline of our resource base. In many instances, such as in all of the case studies in this book, it's clear that in developing a resource or a region we have not understood well enough the functioning of the ecosystems involved. The people involved were not being greedy, there was no willful destruction. Many ecosystem collapses are occurring in places where enormous resources are being invested in understanding the system and where significant effort is being made to be "sustainable."
It isn't just the amount of knowledge—details about species and ecosystems—it's also the kind of knowledge. It's the way we conceive of resource systems and people as part of them. The way we currently use and manage these systems (which we describe in the following section as "business as usual") is no longer working and yet what we hear most of the time is that the solution lies in more of the same.
This book focuses on this third driver of unsustainability. The first driver (poverty) will only be resolved when the world has addressed the other two. We return to the second driver (willful excessive consumption) in the final chapter because our best hope for dealing with it also lies in a philosophy of resilience.
Despite Our Best Intentions
Why is it that, despite the best of intentions (and in contrast to the one or two recent books telling us that "everything is okay"), many of the world's productive landscapes and best loved ecosystems are in trouble?
Current "best practice" is based on a philosophy of optimizing the delivery of particular products (goods or services). It generally seeks to maximize the production of specified components in the system (set of particular products or outcomes) by controlling certain others. Those components might be grain yields, fish catch, or timber harvest. Or, if conservation is the goal, optimization might be aimed at preserving as many species as possible in a national park or reserve. In the case of grain crops it might entail planting all the available land with a single high yielding variety and then maximizing growth with chemical fertilizers and pest control, and using large-scale cropping machinery. Production is maximized by tightly controlling each aspect of the production process.
Optimizing for particular products has characterized the early development of natural resource management, particularly in agriculture. Initially, it worked. Indeed, it resulted in enormous advances in resource productivity and human welfare. Now, however, those initial successes are bedeviled by a variety of emerging secondary and highly problematic effects on all continents and in all oceans. As Ogden Nash writes, "Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long."
An optimization approach aims to get a system into some particular "optimal state," and then hold it there. That state, it is believed, will deliver maximum sustained benefit. It is sometimes recognized that the optimal state may vary under different conditions, and the approach is then to find the optimal path for the state of the system. This approach is sometimes referred to as a maximum sustainable yield or optimal sustainable yield paradigm.
To achieve this outcome, management builds models that generally assume (among other unrecognized assumptions) that changes will be incremental and linear (cause-and- effect changes). These models mostly ignore the implications of what might be happening at higher scales and frequently fail to take full account of changes at lower scales.
Optimization does not work as a best-practice model because this is not how the world works. The systems we live in and depend on are usually configured and reconfigured by extreme events, not average conditions. It takes a two-year drought, for example, to kill perennial plants in tropical savannas, and it takes extreme wet periods for new ones to be able to establish. The linkages between scales and sectors (agriculture, industry, conservation, energy, forestry, etc.) often drive changes in the particular system that is being managed. And, very importantly, while minor changes are often incremental and linear, the really significant ones are usually lurching and nonlinear—like mouse plagues in Australian wheat crops, insect pest outbreaks in forests in North America, and the sudden change from a clean, clear lake to one dominated by an algal bloom.
The Paradox of Efficiency and Optimization
"Efficiency" is a cornerstone of economics, and the very basis of environmental economics. In theory, an economy is efficient if it includes all the things that people want and value. An efficient economy, in this sense, is therefore a good thing and efficiency has become to be regarded as a laudable goal in policy and management. The paradox is that while optimization is supposedly about efficiency, because it is applied to a narrow range of values and a particular set of interests, the result is major inefficiencies in the way we generate values for societies. Being efficient, in a narrow sense, leads to elimination of redundancies—keeping only those things that are directly and immediately beneficial. We will show later that this kind of efficiency leads to drastic losses in resilience.
Optimization does not match the way our societies value things either. It promotes the simplification of values to a few quantifiable and marketable ones, such as timber production, and demotes the importance of unquantifiable and unmarketed values, such as the life support, regenerative, and cleansing services that nature provides (collectively known as "ecosystem services"). It also discounts the values placed on beauty or on the existence of species for their own sakes. Whether they realize it or not, societies depend for their existence on ecosystem services. And societies also value their ability to pass these things to future generations. Optimization, however, distorts this. It reduces time horizons to a couple of decades—the limit of the time horizon for most commercial investments. Values that do not have property rights or are publicly owned are not marketed, do not generate wealth, and gain little support, even if they involve critical ecosystem services. Often not enough people understand the criticality of the life support systems—the ozone layer and climate regulation are examples.
Though efficiency, per se, is not the problem, when it is applied to only a narrow range of values and a particular set of interests it sets the system on a trajectory that, due to its complex nature, leads inevitably to unwanted outcomes. The history of ecology, economics, and sociology is full of examples showing that the systems around us, the systems we are a part of, are much more complex than our assumptions allow for. What it all adds up to is that there is no sustainable "optimal" state of an ecosystem, a social system, or the world. It is an illusion, a product of the way we look at and model the world. It is unattainable; in fact (as we shall see) it is counterproductive, and yet it is a widely pursued goal. It is little wonder, then, that problems arise. And when they do, rather than question the validity of the model being applied, the response has been to attempt to exert even greater control over the system. In most cases this exacerbates the problem or leaves us with a solution that comes with too high a cost to be sustained.
In the real world, regions and businesses are interlinked systems of people and nature driven and dominated by the manner in which they respond to and interact with each other. They are complex systems, continually adapting to change. Change can be fast or slow—move at the speed of viruses multiplying or of mountains rising. It can take place on the scale of nanometers or kilometers. Change at one level can influence others, cascade down or up levels, reinvigorate, or destroy.
The ruling paradigm—that we can optimize components of a system in isolation of the rest of the system—is proving inadequate to deal with the dynamic complexity of the real world. Sustainable solutions to our growing resource problems need to look beyond a business as usual approach. As failures mount, and as more and more people become aware of them, there is a growing dissatisfaction with the ways in which natural resources are managed. What are the important qualities of a system that need to be maintained or enhanced for a system to be sustainable? Resilience thinking is an approach (part philosophy, part pragmatism) that seeks answers to these questions.

Video: Demi Lovato Shows Off Vocal Acrobatics When Singing National Anthem
Demi Lovato made a risky choice for her rendition of "Star-Spangled Banner" during the World Series Game 5. Wearing a short skirt and a blazer on top of a red Texas Rangers jersey, the teen singer took some serious high notes in some parts of the national anthem.
The former "Sonny with a Chance" star almost delivered all of it, except for the part when she belted out "land of the free". The Texan-born artist was a bit of shrieky on that part, but then redeemed herself with an impressive "home of the brave" singing at the closing line.
Lovato showed no sign of jittery when singing the national anthem at the October 24 game kick-off. However, a few hours before the performance, she shared to her Twitter followers that she's had some baseball-induced butterflies. She wrote, "About to go sleep.. So nervous/excited about tomorrow!!! National anthem at the #worldseries... Wow!!!"
Responses regarding her performance varied on Twitter. A tweep by the name of BNHarrington wrote, "Demi Lovato an epic fail." Another Twitter user under the name of SarahLovatoML posted otherwise, "Watched demi perform the national anthem she did so amazingg

The UFC women's bantamweight championship now firmly around her waist, is The Hunger Games franchise, as rumored, next on the list for Ronda Rousey to conquer?
Maybe or maybe not, but an entirely new world of sponsorships and other endeavors has opened up, as Rousey signed on with WME (William Morris Endeavor), the largest and oldest talent agency in the world.
Rousey's signing with WME was first revealed by The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday.
Rousey is a natural when you put a camera and microphone in front of her, but has stated that she is a fighter first and isn't seeking out a movie career until she feels like her fighting career has run its course.
The deal with WME, however, doesn't necessarily mean that she's suddenly open to taking on movie roles. WME, particularly its CEO, Ari Emanuel, has done more for MMA than taking its stars and putting them in the movies.
Emanuel helped Jon Jones and his camp put together a deal with Nike, and also helped the UFC to broker its groundbreaking deal with the Fox family of networks.
There are many different areas where the power of WME and Emanuel can help Rousey and her representation with in guiding her career, both as a fighter and as a media personality. The deal is most likely a way for Rousey and her camp to take full advantage of her earning potential while the light is shining brightest on her fighting career.

Hull City have completed the signing of striker Yannick Sagbo from French side Evian.
Sagbo joins on a two-year deal following a three-year spell with Evian.
The 25-year-old Ivorian expressed his delight at joining the Premier League newcomers.
"I am so happy to have signed for Hull City, and I am very grateful for the opportunity," he told the club's official website.
"I can't wait to get going, and I look forward to meeting my new team-mates this weekend.
"I want to show the coaches and the fans what I'm all about, but not just with my physical presence. I also hope that my mobility and technical skills can add to what is already a good footballing team.
"I was delighted when the call came through. I had a very good feeling from the manager, that he really wanted me to come to Hull. That feeling was mutual.
"I am excited to get started in the Premier League. It is a league that I've watched closely, and I know all about it. I'm looking forward to the challenge, and I aim to score many goals."
Sagbo becomes manager Steve Bruce's sixth permanent signing of the transfer window, while fellow striker Danny Graham joined on loan from Sunderland earlier this month.
