CUYAHOGA FALLS: Ward 5 will be up for grabs following councilwoman Diana Colavecchio's appointment to fill Lisa Zeno Carano's unexpired term as Stow Municipal Court Clerk.
Colavecchio won't take over the position until the appointment is certified by the Ohio Secretary of State's office, she is bonded and she resigns from her council seat.
She has already submitted a letter of resignation, and it will be come effective the day she receives confirmation from the Secretary of State.
"It could be Friday or it could be Monday," Colavecchio said.
Megan Moreland, executive director of the Summit County Democratic Party, said the new council member will be chosen by Democratic precinct committee members in Ward 5.
There is no word yet on when or how to apply.
According to the Cuyahoga Falls charter, the Democrats have 30 days from the date the seat is vacated to choose a replacement.
On the outside chance that doesn't happen, the 10 remaining council members -- five Democrats and five Republicans -- will have 30 days to choose their new colleague.
And if they can't make a decision, the choice would be up to Mayor Don Robart.
Colavecchio and whoever is appointed to the council seat will have to campaign this year to keep their elected offices.
There could be two Colavecchio candidates on the November ballot.
There is speculation among those in Falls political circles that Colavecchio's husband, Paul Colavecchio, will replace her on City Council.
Diana Colavecchio would not confirm the rumors.
"I hope Paul will apply," she said.

The Untold Story
of Hurricane Katrina
Exclusive Webcast:
The Havana Cuba
Press Conference
FCN, March 27, 2006
your opinion on this article?
Maryum "May May" Ali was born and raised in Chicago, Ill. After moving to Los Angeles in 1985, she discovered her many talents including acting and comedy. What ties these talents together is her love for writing. In the early 1990s, she wrote rap lyrics for her debut hip hop album, but her real agenda was delivering uplifting lyrics to youth around the world. She took a break from the entertainment business to earn a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, graduating with honors, and has used her degree to continue her mission of helping at-risk youth in inner cities.
The new summer issue of Virtue magazine features Maryum ?May May? Ali, daughter of Muhammad Ali. In a one-on-one interview, she shares her view of growing up with ?The Greatest? dad and the numerous lessons she has learned.
Presently, Maryum is writing screenplays, television concepts, and has published a children's book about her father, entitled, "I Shook Up the World: The Incredible Life of Muhammad Ali." She met Virtue magazine Editor Audrey Muhammad at the Milligan Books annual Black Writer's Conference in Los Angeles and graciously agreed to an interview.
Virtue Magazine (VM): What do you think of a magazine being named Virtue?
Maryum Ali (MA): I think it is excellent. Women need an alternative magazine to what is out there, something more positive.
VM: Tell us a little about your upbringing.
MA: I wouldn't change how I grew up for anything. We were taught to love ourselves. Elijah Muhammad named me Maryum. My early exposure to the Nation, from birth to 7 years old, made me understand who I am and how I viewed this country. The Nation helped spark the Civil Rights Movement. The teachings also influenced my father to become a fearless, confident man.
VM: Tell us a little about your work with at-risk youth, Sisters in particular.
MA: I am a social worker for the LA Bridges Program in South Los Angeles. LA Bridges is a delinquency prevention program. We offer free services to help guide youth away from crime; trying to help them understand that no matter what has happened in their past, no one can take their minds away from them. Many of them end up dropping out of high school because they didn't take middle school seriously. Most of the time, the biggest problem with the children I work with comes from a dysfunctional home environment.
VM: What types of things did your mother teach you while growing up?
MA: To be honest, my grandmother raised me. She taught me how to be a good judge of character. I remember when I was 10 years old my grandmother told me to watch myself around a particular female friend. She said, "That girl is jealous of you." At first, I didn't believe her, but I came to realize that my grandmother was always right about everybody. Being around my Dad also made me a good judge of character, because I would observe the many different individuals that would try to hang around him.
VM: What principles do you think are important to teach young women?
MA: The name of your magazine, virtue, is important. A woman should have the utmost respect for herself. Young women need to learn self-control, especially when it comes to men. Making the wrong relationship decisions can chip away at a woman's self-esteem. Women need to really understand who they are first, so they are not defined only by their mate. When you respect who you are, you will immediately recognize a man that is not respecting you. It's also important for women to surround themselves with progressive and positive thinkers. Get all negativity out of your life.
VM: Your father is someone who is known for standing up for what he believes in and is willing to speak up for humanity. What qualities do you most admire about your father? What impact did your father's beliefs have on your life?
MA: I admire his faith and confidence the most. People who are deeply rooted in faith are extremely confident. He taught me to never give up on the goals I want to achieve. I also try to model the discipline my father had.
VM: What is your view on how women are viewed today on TV and in music videos? How did you guard yourself from that influence?
MA: Unfortunately, we are mostly portrayed as sexual objects. My religion, Al Islam, has prevented me from falling into the traps that are planted for women.
VM: What did you think of the Million Man March and the Millions More Movement?
MA: It's a great event, and hopefully the spirit of the event will infiltrate into American families and communities. African Americans need to take ownership in what happens in their lives, because, as history has proven, nothing will be given to us. It all has to start with the family unit.
VM: What is your vision for your future? Your career?
MA: I want to write for TV and film, because the African American perspective is greatly needed. But most importantly, I'm always striving to live right; to be the best person I can be.
VM: Thank you.

The Bottom Line
- "Read and React" feature is a hit
- More difficult and more satisfying
- Franchise mode has more depth
- Good animation, but still not next-gen enough
- Perhaps too hard for casual gamers
- It kills me to admit it, but the Xbox 360 version does run smoother.
- Graphics: 3 Come on EA, dump some cash and be the first to deliver a true next-gen looking sports title
- Sound: 4.5 Superb as always: great music, great commentary, great game sounds
- Control: 3.5 I'm simply not the biggest Madden control fan, offense and defense should have more similar button mapping
- Difficulty: 4 This year Madden is tougher than ever, you feel like you truly earned your wins
- Gameplay: 4 The addition of "Read and React" and tougher defense make this a more fun game
- Multiplayer: 3 It's always been fine, but no major innovations
- Online: 2.5 I really expect more online modes and options from a AAA title
- Documentation: 4 From in-game tutorials to the detailed manual, you'll be just fine
- Rated: Everyone it's America's sport, how could it not be?
- All scores are out of 5. Final score is not an average of the individual score
Guide Review - Madden NFL 08 Review (PS3)
This year's big treat was the weapons system. We've seen something similar in basketball games of the past. Players have icons or tokens assigned to them that represent skill in certain areas. What we haven't seen is it offered at this depth. One is not merely blessed with a "wide receiver" token, he can be a big one, a fast one, a finesse player, etc. This allows for the rock-paper-scissors match-ups that some gamers really seem to love.
As if the new "Read and React" system wasn't enough, EA decided to not only overhaul gameplay but the franchise mode as well. The new Front Office Mode goes beyond staff and player management to stadium building. From scouting reports to finance management, there is plenty to do in the off season.
One weakness with Madden has been the control scheme. This year it is even more complicated and less intuitive. While the variety of new pre-snap options is grand, especially for defense, the learning curve is unnecessarily steep.
Online we still have ranked and unranked head to head, but when are we going to get a serious league going? If any game is suited to league play, it's Madden. In 2008, with online capabilities built into every PS3, I'd think that this would be a priority, but alas it isn't.
One final note, while Madden on the PS3 is a fine game, it simply runs smoother on the Xbox 360. Being that the PS3 is the more powerful of the two machines it seems more political than technical that the Madden NFL 08 would run at twice the frame rate on the Xbox 360. Madden looks and plays fine on the PS3, but side by side, the Xbox 360 version simply runs better.

Hail to the king, baby! Machineworks Northwest has been bringing the classic first-person shooter Duke Nukem 3D game to various platforms for the past little while and now, Duke has arrived on the BlackBerry PlayBook to kick some alien ass. Duke Nukem 3D is available in BlackBerry App World right now for only $2.99. Mess with the best, you will die like the rest.

djghettoredneck Nov 16, 2011 at 2:26 pm
this still happens? wow!
brucep1 Nov 16, 2011 at 3:07 pm
I've never been first before..if your not first, your last
ifarlow Nov 16, 2011 at 5:00 pm
...unless you're second, or third, or fourth, or some other position before last. But if you're not one of those, you're last.
bighap Nov 16, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Classic. Any word if it works on 2.0?
Rob Robertson Nov 16, 2011 at 2:50 pm
It DOES work with 2.0 Beta.
BBMale Nov 16, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Hail to the king, baby!
What a classic! I always thougth about plaing it again next to all that Shooter like CoD and BF and so on...even because DNF was such a dissapointment.
Now i can do this on my PB, great!
DocDRM Nov 16, 2011 at 2:39 pm
Hey, curious. This type of release at all related to DevCon / porting Android apps over to PB?
If not this one, where are some good examples of apps/games brought over to PB that are up and running/successful?
Sorry, not a dev, just got me wondering . . .
Rob Robertson Nov 16, 2011 at 2:49 pm
This appears to be a native app as I didn't have to open the Android Player to use it.
Below is a Google Spreadsheet made by the CrackBerry community breaking down which Android Apps are currently working and which aren't:
Sorry html tags don't work here I guess? Just google: "Blackberry APK/BAR Requests & Submissions"
DocDRM Nov 16, 2011 at 2:57 pm
Not what i was asking, likely my inartful wording. Try again:
Not asking about Android apps via Player, was asking about apps being converted to PB as full fledged apps. This is from one of the DevCon Announcements:
"Fast track your app by visiting the App Express area at BlackBerry® DevCon Americas. In just a few minutes, you can port your existing Android app to the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet or transform an existing web application into a full-fledged app for both the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet and BlackBerry® smartphones."
Ebscer Nov 16, 2011 at 3:26 pm
That is in regard to Android apps, which this clearly isn't.
ifarlow Nov 16, 2011 at 5:03 pm
EDIT: I responded to the wrong post.
ifarlow Nov 16, 2011 at 5:03 pm
This is not a ported Android app as it would require the Android player, something not currently available on the PlayBook outside of hacking (or the dev preview).
Rob Robertson Nov 16, 2011 at 2:47 pm
Just bought it and played for about 5 minutes, so take my comments below with a grain of salt. **EDIT** It DOES work with OS 2.0 Beta**/EDIT**
- First thing you have to do: Turn down the 'look' sensitivity in the options. I turned down the movement sensitivity as well but that's up to you.
- The UI is not as streamlined as say Modern Combat by Gameloft is though. For example, there is a dedicated 'shoot' button in Duke whereas you just tap anywhere to shoot in Modern Combat. You'll have to make-due with a cluster of action buttons instead of context sensitive taps which I would have preferred.
Considering it's half the price of Modern Combat and this game is a CLASSIC, I would recommend it!
koool1 Nov 16, 2011 at 2:46 pm
Can't wait to get home and buy it!
1magine Nov 16, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Nice game. Adds to the growing list of 3d Open GLES 2.0 games on the PB.
Funny - not a single one has been released for any OS7 devices. This is why RIMM sits at or around $18 /p. They should be working with the developers to port to the OS7 devices. No effort to assist developers = no OpenGL ES apps for OS7 devices.
Cazurela Nov 16, 2011 at 6:43 pm
I'm sorry to disagree with you, but if I was a developer why would I bother developing games for OS7 when BBX "should" be around the block? Develop for Playbook, then you will have it ready for BBX phones when they launch.... Develop for OS7, just a waste of time and resources for an OS likely to cease receiving support in a year or so....
Just my 2 cents...
Concession Nov 16, 2011 at 3:00 pm
It looks like RIMs strategy of supporting multiplatform Frameworks on BBX is working. We're getting apps!
Looks like RIM is doing what it needs to succeed in a iOS (and Android) dominated landscape.
Microsoft's strategy of denying such frameworks (like Unity, Unreal) may be its undoing, and allow RIM to secure that #3 spot.
koool1 Nov 16, 2011 at 10:28 pm
I hope you are right.
Good to see a surge in quality apps regardless!
pkcable Nov 16, 2011 at 3:20 pm
OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is all!!!!!!!!
lnichols Nov 16, 2011 at 3:23 pm
Would like to see a video review of the gameplay before buying it, but at that price just may have to buy it anyway.
BBMale Nov 16, 2011 at 4:13 pm
just search for a classic DN3D-Gameplay-Vid... its exactly the same.
Movement is a bit slippy, like the whole ground is an iOS-Menue :-D , but i get used to it.
Just love the classic animations.
Nigelbrown Nov 16, 2011 at 3:47 pm
they should slap BBX/qnx on current os7 devices once ready.....I don't see why not. No dual core, but enough power for sure.
Jonathan-Archer Nov 16, 2011 at 4:02 pm
It's exactly the same game we remember from the 90's. Controls are smooth, but shooting, jumping and crouching are a bit tricky with the seperate buttons at the left of the screen. Great to see it at such a price though.
jpoulin587 Nov 16, 2011 at 4:26 pm
I loved this game on my PC all those years ago. I bought it right away and it looks and plays just like the original version. The onscreen controls take a little getting used to, but I like it a lot.
Meh, I want Marathon and Marathon 2.
TBone4eva Nov 16, 2011 at 7:06 pm
It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum and I'm all out of gum.
koool1 Nov 16, 2011 at 8:46 pm
Like the game but the controls take some getting used to.
Worth the $3 though!
This just solidified my decision to buy a PB after Thanksgiving instead of a Samsung Galaxy Tab or other Android device.
This game just brings me back to childhood, and on top of that, it shows that RIM and developers are making things happen for BB and the PB. Awesome!
RippleRex Nov 16, 2011 at 9:24 pm
No one has said yet: does it support multiplayer over WIFI? If it does, then myself and all the boys at work have a new passtime.
thecsman Nov 16, 2011 at 9:37 pm
I just wanted to point that the Playbook version gameplay is way better than the ipad's. This is where the size and portability of the Playbook stands better compared to bigger tablets. I also noticed that it is a bit snappier than the ipad version. Worth the $2.99
pblakeney Nov 16, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Has anyone seen or heard if Wolfenstein is coming to the PB? :-)
leontam Nov 16, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Now that's a classic.
III 4U2NV III Nov 18, 2011 at 2:19 am
OMG, I remember playing that game on the Commodore 64. That shouldn't be too hard to develop! =)
therapyreject174 Nov 17, 2011 at 12:51 am
Awesome. Will be picking this up for sure.
siausin Nov 17, 2011 at 1:01 am
Great stuff..waiting for Quake now
shootsscores Nov 17, 2011 at 1:29 am
RIM is putting the play into PB.
mavricxx Nov 17, 2011 at 9:44 am
Where's Skype, Yahoo Messenger OoVoO and Google Talk???? Come on RIM
d3adcrab Nov 17, 2011 at 12:18 pm
Would love Wolfenstein Enemy Territory...and its open source now O_o

Retired linebacker focusing on his golf game. Terry McCormick
Brian Urlacher's focus since his retirement hasn't been on football.
And it sounds like that's the way he likes it.
Urlacher has been playing a lot of golf and enjoying himself since hanging up his cleats after the Chicago Bears declined to re-sign him and he wound up rejecting overtures from other teams.
"I'm sure I'll miss it when it's time to put the pads on and stuff. But I won't miss how my body feels when I'm done," Urlacher told the Chicago Tribune.
Urlacher dismissed any thought of going into coaching, he said.
"I don't think I would be a good coach,'' he said. "First of all, I don't want to spend the time coaching. I feel bad for them. During the season, they work 90 hours a week. I don't want to do that.''
As for the broadcast booth, Urlacher said maybe down the road, but not now.
"I don't think I would be very good on TV broadcasting games. 'He's running left, he's running right, 28 has the ball.' I don't know,'' Urlacher said. "We'll see. I've got a lot of time to think about it.''

What advice would you give to a new teacher working in a technology-related area? Maybe you're a student who's experienced the good and the bad? Or a teacher who's experience has refined some tried-and-true "methods of instruction"? What advice would you give to a new teacher?
Since starting out in education half-a-decade ago (sounds longer than 4 or 5 years), I've been influenced by a bunch of educationalists such as John Dewey, Lev Vygotski and Seymour Papert, as well as some more contemporary stuff like Kathy Sierra's Ten Tips for new trainers/teachers and my own network of educational learners. After experimenting with different ideas, experiencing the teaching of lots of other educators and learning lots from the constant stream of feedback from students and colleagues (see "Do we need teachers of web design?") I'm slowly getting to the point of seeing who I am as a teacher/facilitator.
Right now I need to pull all that together and write a statement of my own professional beliefs and values for a professional development activity I'm involved in, but I thought it'd be much more fun to post it as "Five tips for new teachers":
- Tip 1: Model learning not teaching (see below)
- Tip 2: Act on the needs of your learners
- Tip 3: Provide relevant and practical activities to learn through doing
- Tip 4: Become a filter (not creator) of relevant content for your learners, and
- Tip 5: Gradually hand over control of learning to your learners
So for what it's worth, the first and most important tip that I would give a new teacher is:
Tip 1: Model learning to your learners – not teaching
It might seem incredibly obvious, but for some reason modelling the process of learning itself is not something that we teachers always do. Tragically, sometimes the reason we stop modelling learning in our professional area is related to the fact that we've become a "teacher". Yes there may be times to assume the Sage-on-the-Stage teacher role, or times to simply give the Right AnswerTM to avoid learner frustration, but under normal circumstances the most valuable things that your learners can learn from you are the strategies and processes that you use to learn and solve unknown problems in your professional area.
And I'm not suggesting that you organise a two-hour "how to learn" workshop, or that you invite your students to gather around your desk and witness a problem-solving genius in action. Rather, model your own learning process at every opportunity by inviting your learners to get involved in – even contribute to – your own professional learning just as you do theirs.
Here's an example of a teacher involving learners in their own learning process:
I was reading Roger Johansen's Web Design blog yesterday (the one that we're all subscribed to) and he reckons a better technique than the one I showed you last week is [...] Did anyone else read it? If not, when you get a chance have a read of Roger's technique. At 3 o'clock this afternoon we'll get together with those who are interested to see a demo and discuss its advantages over the way we've been doing it. If there's someone who feels confident to demo the technique for the rest of us this afternoon, don't hesitate to shout out!
Or, as a second example, when a student asks for some help, "My style-sheet's not working… I'm stuck!", rather than fixing the problem and getting the "I rule" feeling yourself, involve the learner in the learning process and give them the "I rule" feeling:
OK. The first thing we need to check is what? That's right, that the stylesheet is correctly linked to the document. What's an easy way to do that? Great! I didn't even have to do anything! Give it a go and I'll come back in a minute to see how you go…
Unfortunately some us teachers are excellent at continuing our own professional learning but instead of involving our learners in their own learning process we leverage our own learning to make ourselves look good – dropping wisdom-bombs on their students and watching for the shock-wave of awe to spread throughout the room (Hint: Don't do this – it'll be obvious to everyone except yourself what you're really trying to do).
Here's an example of a teacher missing an opportunity to involve students in their own learning:
I've been thinking since last week about the technique we saw for [...]. I think I've found a much better technique. Let's all get together now and I'll show you a better way.
Or, in the second example where a student says "My stylesheet's not working. I'm stuck":
OK, give me a look. Aha, you've got a typo in your document right there.
As an educator, I reckon that it's criminal to hide our own learning process from learners (although I'm sure I've committed the crime myself). We're hiding one of the most valuable things we can offer our students. Why? Because it makes us Teachers feel smarter than our students? Because it helps us to feel that we do in fact have something to contribute? Kathy Sierra puts it bluntly in tip 7 of her Ten tips for new trainers/teachers: "Leave your ego at the door. This is not about you!"
During an email discussion last year Stephen Downes expressed clearly what it means to model learning – to conduct genuine teaching (see Live what you teach for more):
Teaching as presenting is dead. Teaching is transferring information from one brain into another is dead. Teaching as exercising authority over a group of students is dead. But teaching, genuine teaching, living what it is you want the next generation to see and emulate, is necessary. [...] It takes a conscious effort to be the sort of person you are trying to get your students to be.
Given that we want our students to be learners in our specific professional areas, my number 1 tip for a new teacher is don't stop learning when you become a teacher! Instead, become even more passionate about your own learning in your professional area. Be infectious about it! Be open and transparent about it – modelling your learning processes at every opportunity. Involve your learners in your own learning and problem solving processes by default and teach as the exception where required.
How important do you think it is for teachers to model their learning processes? Is it just as important in non-IT learning contexts such as a chemistry lab, a work-place or a church? What's your number one tip for a new teacher?

I have been dabbling around with various blue-gray combinations to coordinate with my wardrobe. This is, by far, my favorite; the smoky intensity of the Clarins palette can vary according to preference – perfect for Day and Night!
※ Revlon Illuminance™ Crème Shadow in Moonlit Jewels
※ Estée Lauder Five Color Violet Underground Palette [ Swatches ]
※ Clarins Eye Quartet Mineral in Indigo [ Swatches ]
Photo has been manipulated to demonstrate the violet-blue shimmers
Day Look
Revlon's jewel-toned blue brings out the violet-blue shimmers from the Estée Lauder Fall Palette as opposed to Clarins's navy blue. I then layered over with the grey shade and blend towards the crease, followed with the shimmery periwinkle on the inner 1/3 of my eyes and correspond respectively on the lower lashes.
※ Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill in #22 Écailles [ Swatches ]
Night Look
Basically for the transition was simply adding a punch of seafoam over the periwinkle for a dazzling evening.

should the animation be a bit longer then the audio?
Hi, first of all Thank you for purchasing.
It is actually the other way around, audio is a bit longer then the animation:) That's how it should be, audio has a fade out effect applied to it with some reverb+echo effects also so the final mix is bit longer.
Everything will work great, don't worry
All the best.
the audio is 1 sec shorter then the video…am I doing something wrong?
Sorry for a slow respond,
can you please tell me did you adjust the duration of the project ?
I just checked again, duration of AE project is 08:05 seconds , duration of audio is 08:17 seconds. Really don't know what could of happen, can you please try and download the audio again ?
All the best.
hello I did download again and its telling me that the audio files are 708(wav) and 709(mp3)...

Hi Christina,
that's strange. You can see here for yourself when you click play to hear the preview, duration on the player is showing 8 sec. We will do it this way, just go to my profile page and send me a PM when you get a chance so I can send you the audio from my drive, hope that will work
All the best.

I'm having the exact same problem as christina above. My audio is a few seconds shorter than my animation which is 8:05 seconds long. Is there a fix for this? Thank you.
Hi there, sorry for a slow respond.
Just like Christina, please go to my profile page and send me a PM, I will send you another audio mix right away
All the best.
Great, thanks. I will do that now!

4 Ways Money Buys Happiness
How to invest happily.
If you have ever felt confused about the relationship between money and happiness, you're not alone. Even the Beatles were torn over the subject, declaring in one famous song, "You can't buy me love," and then lamenting in another, "Your lovin' don't pay my bills—give me money. That's what I want."
Gallup researchers have helped clear up this conundrum through a series of worldwide polls. The results have once again stirred interest in this ancient debate, answering with the discovery that annual earnings over $75,000 fail to add to an individual's happiness. Thinking less about money and financial security—as opposed to net worth—also played heavily into an individual's happiness.
[See 5 Financial Resolutions for the New Year.]
Daniel Gilbert from the University of Liege took the Gallop finding further through his research into what is now known as the "experience-stretching hypothesis." His studies demonstrate that when individuals experience greater luxuries, their ability to appreciate the simpler pleasures in life decreased incrementally. These findings put an ironic twist on the American dream of wealth and the good life. As Gilbert points out, just when someone has finally gathered the discretionary income to enjoy the finer things, he subconsciously trains himself to lose appreciation for the more common, daily pleasures.
Jonah Lehrer of Wired commented on these findings as well, stating, "Strangely, the more we indulge our desires, we strangely end up simply needing more. Discovering satisfaction—the ability to appreciate all we already have, is revolutionary."
Before you jump on the "money can't buy me love" bandwagon, however, it is important to note that the findings revealed that money can, in fact, be useful in promoting well-being in several surprising ways. Here are four ways money can, in fact, buy you happiness:
Invest in index funds using asset allocation: Beware of the torrent of wealth managers pitching their Yoda-like prognostications, technical analysis wizardry, or insider stock tips. The Wall Street machine seeks to appeal to your greed glands and lure you into its complicated web of high fees and high stress. These active investment strategies fall short both financially and psychologically. Low-cost indexing, asset allocation, and regular portfolio rebalancing will empower you to reject the greed mantra and free your mind for the more important activities.
Give to charity: Charitable giving was shown to improve a person's sense of happiness. When people freed up money to support a cause they believed in, their happiness rating increased. When you determine your asset allocation, you may want to practice the historic discipline of carving out some pre-determined portion of your earnings for charitable causes. Adding this giving principle to your portfolio's allocation will provide an excellent return to your sense of well-being.
[See The Million-Dollar Retirement Plan.]
Invest in personal growth: When money was spent on personal or professional growth, an individual's overall sense of well-being increased. Graduate studies, counseling, and other forms of development seem to pay great dividends in personal satisfaction.
Allocate to memory capital: Money may not be able to buy you love, but according to research, it can buy you great life memories. Researches call "memory capital" money spent creating outstanding experiences that will be savored over a lifetime. Such memories are revisited by individuals throughout the seasons of their lives, delivering an excellent psychological annuity.
In the end, research affirms what many intrinsically know. Materialism has its limitations, and money should be used both for retirement planning as well as for living. While global diversification through index funds and ETFs will aid retirement goals, allocating to charity, personal growth, and memory creation are also essential parts of a well-diversified life.

I provide honest reviews and opinions on the bleeding edge of tech
For those who prefer the open source route, installing a Linux distribution (like Ubuntu, SUSE, or Mint) alongside a Microsoft operating system — or even standalone on a Windows PC — has been fairly painless. Windows 8 changes this because Microsoft will require hardware vendors to ship their Windows 8 computers with "UEFI Secure Boot" enabled. Fortunately, the Linux Foundation has found a solution that's sure to keep the Linux faithful — and a little company named Valve — quite happy.
Let's back up for a moment. UEFI is something Apple has been using on Macs for years in place of the traditional BIOS that Windows users are accustomed to. The "Secure Boot" option tells the computer to check for signed code before it launches its operating system. Effectively it's an added layer of security designed to prevent malware and viruses. But the installation programs which install Linux aren't likely to be recognized by UEFI as signed code. Complicating this problem is that hardware vendors (Dell, ASUS, HP, etc) don't have to ship these systems with an option to turn UEFI Secure Boot off.
If these acronyms are making your head spin, here's the meat of the story: Valve, developers of Half-Life 2 and purveyors of digital game distribution service Steam, is making an aggressive push onto Linux. Additionally, the company has launched their own non-games software store, and Valve's Gabe Newell recently blasted Microsoft, calling Windows 8 a "catastrophe." Perhaps what instigated that comment was Microsoft's insistence on UEFI Secure Boot, which oh-so-subtly blocks Linux from being installed.
Not anymore, thanks to the Linux Foundation. The company plans to "obtain a Microsoft Key and sign a small pre-bootloader which will, in turn, chain load (without any form of signature check) a predesignated boot loader which will, in turn, boot Linux." The company explains that this process may be a lengthy one, but once it's complete any user wishing to install Linux or any other open source OS on their Windows 8 computer will be able to download the code and have at it.
This may seem trivial, but Linux has matured by leaps and bounds in the past few years. Most Linux enthusiasts will tell you the only reason they still use Windows is for gaming. This solution allows Valve a wider door into a presence on Linux, and with that company's influence, it could eventually bolster the adoption rate of Linux and put the hurt on Windows 8 sales.
Do you have an opinion on all this? Let me know in the comment section.
As Linux now has the signature requirement, I can see this as only a good thing for the future of PCs and tablets. Mainly because open source OSs allow for better innovation across the board as they aren't limited by the resources (and creativity) of one company wanting to keep their OS proprietary and controlled. And the best software designs and flavors are always rolled up into easy packages that appeal to more mainstream users. So these designs and flavors start becoming unofficial standards.
As to Value, I would easily go out on a limb as say they are one of the very few companies out there that are focused on making great products for their customers first, with the money being secondary and merely a means to the ends. If they make gaming appealing on Linux, Microsoft will be in some serious trouble (it's debatable that they already are because of their slide from innovation this past decade).
Why do I care about Valve support for Linux. They are a game rental company, not a retailer.
Linux market share remains about where it has been for a decade.
and that is a little over 1% .
Yep a grand massive total of 1%
Sorry , I am not trolling it is just important that stories do not mislead people.
Linux lost market over the last couple of years and windows and still riding at 92%.
Yes 92%
I know , i know some kids told you apple had 20% market share, but the stats do not lie. apple has done very well and now has a real 7% market share. That is huge growth but of course nothing like many people in the USA think.
remember most of the stats the media use relate solely to the USA and for slim market sectors such as laptops over 1000 to consumers not corps. That is how thay come up with the higher apple numbers.
As to Linux booting win 8? Really did you think MSFT was planning to lock them out? Really? Cause everyone in the biz knows this was just progress and that is would be done.
Yes the only way linux desktop market share will increase until a company like valve will release commercial apps and games for it. Google decided to unlock the true potential with linux in android and now apple market share their is slowly degrading. An another thing linux does not send in statistic about how many users are using it.So the true number of users will never be none. Also you prob don't know how many people represent 1% 20million people just use ubuntu alone.
damn *known typo
The number of people willing to install or even have a dual boot PC to play on Steam is tiny.
Most game players on Steam are just average people who enjoy the hosting and how easy Valve make it to buy and play along with the promotional pricing etc.
I have had a steam account for a long time, I have played games for over 3 decades, and I am good. Not better than my friends good, paid to play good.
let me be super clear for you. 99% of game playing consumers whould rather step on a mouse and slowly crush it with a bare foot than go to the hassle of installing linux
Valve is just venting some Steam (see what did there?) they know they are going to struggle with Microsofts new model and they are trying to find a way to protect profits.
Again we all knew that Microsoft was not intending to hurt the linux community they were simply improving the product they sell.
Valve showing some love for Linux is great, it just not game changing. (I did it again)
Linux will never be a mainstream operating system until they have official support. Even with more mainstream distros, such as Ubuntu, you're at the mercy of the communities help, which will often give you 5 different solutions to the same problem (none of which will probably work). It would be interesting if Valve decided to team up with the Linux community and release their own Steam-flavored Linux distribution to accompany their own speculated 'Steam Box', complete with official technical support. But until then, Linux will always take the backseat in terms of gaming, compared to Windows and even Apple's OS.
I was thinking that my next fun computer would be linux only.
It might take over 5 years for me to build a new computer.
I was waiting for that long ago, more than half a decade, maybe now Ill be able in some future to play all steam and other games dist in one box. Today I use one desktop to play with my very old and yet good winXP, but my very main OS is a Debian and some other secondary machines using Mint for the sake of easy to others to use.
For some time I´ve being blaming Steam for they lack of other OS support, at least one main Linux dist, and always tough, and yet think that they were the most responsible to blame, I even got out for 3 years or more not buying or visiting them, lets see how it comes, I´ll be a happy gamer and customer being able to choose what OS to use, being Unix alike or Microsoft.
Debian linux, Ubuntu in particular is likely to open the door to those who want to try linux, but only want to do so in the easiest manner and will not impede on their daily computing needs. Most people don't have a free pc that they can just up and install linux on or even have the prerequisite knowledge to do so. Wubi, which allows you to install several distros of linux like a program in Windows makes the whole process painless. I had a problem with mine because of the default drivers, I had to turn acpi off and install 'new' Nvidia drivers before it would accept input from my keyboard/mouse. The only experience I had with linux before I tried it out recently with 8.04 and again with 12.04 was Ultrasparc workstations that ran Unix, Solaris in specific. There is quite a bit that's the same, obviously. With the additions of the package manager and software suite, using packages and making tarball compiling a thing of the past in most cases, it makes Linux more mainstream as an OS. The average user couldn't care less HOW it works, just that it does and in the easiest manner possible. Windows 8 is obviously written for tablets, the pc taking a back seat. Tablets are the 'new thing'. Limitations in the technology driving them propped up by 'cloud' computing such as Amazon's Silk. I can easily see the gaming market shifting more towards linux. It already has. With more independent developers releasing their games for linux and crowd funded games adding linux as a supported platform it's inevitable to see more people switching to linux really. Digital distribution helps out immensely in this regard. If they could get Wine working more flawlessly with a game and application database that would configure and a wine prefix for you for each program you choose you'd see even more people move to linux.
Not at this time or anytime in the near future for one simple reason. That's just what Newell accused Microsoft of. Shipping an "open" OS with an integrated sales platform, opening the window for later moves towards a possible semi-closed OS. I realize Ubuntu does this as well to an extent. In Ubuntu's defense there's a great deal of software hosted by Canonical that's free. It's also a decent (slightly more user friendly) alternative to Synaptic. The other difference is that Ubuntu is governed by the GNU GPL. It would be impossible to "lock down" the OS unless this changed. I can't see it changing either with the kernel itself released under the same liscense. I can see valve throwing some of it's weight at hardware manufacturer's. Pushing them towards releasing drivers and software for their respective products. Also pushing developers into building copies of their software for Linux. Which isn't too terribly difficult to do no matter what they tell you. I have an Essence STX soundcard. It was a pain to set the headphone gain with. It's things like this that I think Valve will help with when it comes to Linux and their chosen distribution in specific.
I recently made the decision to only use Windows offline, due to viruses and pesky updates. My online browsing and such is done entirely from my laptop which runs on Ubuntu. Aside from games, the other reason for using Windows is a lot of professional audio recording and music programs.
Microsoft constantly acts as tyrants on their own systems, and I agree that it is habit and familiarity on the consumer's part that allows Microsoft to retain the greater market share, as well as providing a complete package for non-gamers (MS Office). Linux devs need to step up to the plate with the documents Writers as LibreOffice still does not match MS Office.
I see Valve's involvement in Linux as a huge stepping stone for both companies.

The Commerce Journal
Classes started back at Texas A&M University-Commerce on Monday, which means Walmart is busier, more cars on the road and more people using the crosswalks.
Lt. Jason Bone, with the University Police Department, said that with the influx of students walking and driving, increases the chances for traffic and pedestrian accidents.
"My biggest concern right now is folks getting run over," he said. "We have a large increase in the number of students driving to school."
According to Bone, using common sense is critical to safety when driving and walking.
"I know it sounds like this asinine elementary school stuff, but look both ways before crossing the street," he said. "You cannot assume that they're going to stop just because it's a crosswalk."
Bone listed that most of the traffic accidents in previous years, which mainly included pedestrians getting hit by listening to their ipods and not looking before crossing the street, and bicyclers getting hit in parking lots by cars backing out, could have been avoided by taking safety more seriously.
"Pay attention to your surroundings," he said. "Maybe it's not a good thing to have your earphones blaring while you're crossing the street or walking home at night. Crossing the street is going to be the most dangerous thing you're probably going to do that day, so pay attention."
Bone encouraged students to sign up for the Pride Alert Warning System (PAWS), which can be signed up for through the campu student website MyLeo, is a system that warns students of inclement weather updates, and in the case of a local business that was robbed last year near the campus, will put an alert out for a dangerous person in the area.
More students are also living in off-campus apartments and, to save money, are walking to school from the apartments around Commerce. Bone said students should make good decisions as to how to walk to class.
"People need to stay in groups if they're going to walk to school," he said. "Stick to the well lit, well-traveled streets. Walking an extra block to go down Live Oak Street may be a better thing than to take a shortcut down a dimly lit street. Your personal safety is your personal concern, so give it the attention it deserves."

Dishing It: High-Fiber Peanut Butter Bran Muffins
February 10, 2011 at 12:50 pm , by Lauren Piro
Let me guess. You first saw the word peanut butter in this muffin recipe from our February issue and got all excited to make it. But you then saw that the first ingredient was wheat bran and grumbled. I can just hear you now…
I just know wheat bran will be SO hard to find.
OK, so this is might be true, depending on where you live. I went to my local supermarket only to turn up empty-handed, and even Whole Foods had just one option in their bulk grains aisle (which actually turned out to be quite a find, as you'll see below). However, our trusty food editor Khalil tells me to look more closely next time among the Bob's Red Mill grains and head to a health food store like GNC for more options.
Sure, but even when I do find it, I'm sure it will be expensive.
The total for my self-serve bag of wheat bran came to a whopping 32 cents, and I had leftovers! What else, I ask you, can you get for 32 cents these days (besides this cancer-fighting, heart-healthy grain!)? Plus, I guarantee you already have the rest of the muffins' ingredients in your pantry, so you won't break the bank.
You'll never use the leftovers, though! What a waste!
How about stirring some into your morning oatmeal? Or adding it as a healthy boost to pancakes? Or – make more muffins!
But… but… WHEAT BRAN??
Stop right there. Try this recipe and I promise you'll be singing a different tune, and be well on your way toward getting more of that little powerhouse nutrient we here at LHJ keep reminding you to eat (psst – the correct answer is fiber).
Baking these muffins is a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon, which is exactly what I did. In a nutshell, you put the wet ingredients in one bowl, the dry in another and stir until combined (I also gave the peanuts a quick spin the food processor to chop them up – but don't go overboard or you'll end up with mush!). Totally easy for even the baking-phobic.
Click "read more" below to see how they came out!

Dishing It: Brownies Made Healthier
January 27, 2011 at 12:14 pm , by Sonia Harmon
Who's ever heard of a healthy brownie? Not me—at least not one that tastes good—until I saw this recipe in our February issue for "Brownies Made Healthier." I love baking, and most of my favorite recipes include more butter and sugar than I'd like to admit, so I knew I had to give this whole healthy brownie thing a shot.
The ingredients certainly surprised me. The health boost mainly comes from a few sneaky ingredient swaps, including squash and olive oil instead of butter and whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. As for the recipe itself—it was a piece of cake! (Or brownie?) The only trouble I ran into was defrosting the squash. I forgot to leave it in the fridge that morning so it could defrost while I was at work, but if it weren't for that little hiccup the prep probably would have taken me only about 5 to 10 minutes. Next, the brownie batter went into the oven at 350 degrees for 23 minutes.

Made With Love: Passing On The Traditions
December 22, 2010 at 11:52 am , by Jennifer Castoro
Three things the holiday season has us thinking about: family, traditions and food. Guest blogger Monica Bhide, columnist, blogger, foodie and author of Modern Spice: Inspired Indian Flavors for the Contemporary Kitchen, shares her thoughts on the close ties between love, cooking and recipes passed down through the years.
This morning I was making a lentil soup for my family, almost exactly the way my grandmother in India taught me decades ago. Or so I first thought. Her recipe used six tablespoons of butter, onions, garlic, red lentils, about eight different spices, loads of cilantro and a touch of salt. I recall my mom making this but with much less butter, baby peas for us kids and no salt as Dad was watching his sodium. As I smelled the aroma of garlic from the soup that I was stirring, it occurred to me that my soup today was in truth a reflection of my life here in the states, far away from India: butternut squash, chicken stock instead of water and no cilantro as my hubby thinks it tastes soapy.
The changes to the recipe had occurred so slowly, so gradually, that I never really noticed that I had changed it. I have to admit I felt guilty at first, almost as if changing the recipe meant I was changing the memory of a childhood taste. Familiar childhood tastes give us a place to belong: They bear witness to our lives. Changing them seemed sacrilegious. Read more

Dishing It: Holiday Sugar Cookies
December 9, 2010 at 9:29 am , by Amanda Wolfe
I go all out when I decorate sugar cookies (which only happens once a year, precisely because I go all out). Piping cookie after cookie's worth of intricate patterns feels like a fun art project—and then of course there's the tasty treat at the end. So I jumped at the chance to make the snowflake sugar cookies from our December issue. (I don't have any snowflake cookie cutters, so I went with mostly stars as you can see, above.)
The sugar cookies themselves seemed pretty standard (with a little ginger kick — yum). But I've never made royal icing with lemon or meringue powder before, so I was eager to see how it would turn out.
I gathered my ingredients to make the dough and then chilled it for a few hours before rolling (which is key). I made a half recipe and needed a bit more liquid to hold the dough together (maybe my eggs were small?) but an extra half-egg did the trick. I recently inherited my mom's pastry cloth and it makes rolling and cutting out cookies SO much easier. Just a little flour on the cloth and the rolling pin and you're good to go.
After baking a few batches and letting the cookies cool completely, I made the frosting. The lemon was the only liquid in the icing which gave it a real lemony zing. I don't have any in-process icing shots because I made a mess. I had blue and white frosting in two different consistencies each (a firmer one for piping and a looser version for flooding) so it was quite a production—and a time-sensitive one at that. My trick with flooding (which is where you pipe around the edge of the cookie and the fill with the looser frosting to give that pretty, smooth look) is to just skip the piping bag and spoon on the filler icing. I end up making a mess either way, and I usually need to smooth some of the frosting into the corners with the back of the spoon so it actually saves a step.
My piping wasn't the neatest job in the world, but they still made for delicious treats, of course! I liked the ginger and lemon in this recipe because traditional sugar cookies can be a bit bland for my taste and these were a great, flavorful update on the classic.

Dishing It: Ina's Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms
November 18, 2010 at 10:02 am , by Fang
I'd signed up to try out Ina Garten's Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms from the November issue of LHJ, but before I'd chopped, peeled or stemmed a single thing I was already feeling a little anxious. Extra-large white mushrooms—the first item on the list of ingredients—had me stumped. At Whole Foods all I could find were white mushrooms. Was I supposed to be looking for a different type of shroom entirely—extra-large white mushrooms? Or should I just be looking for really big white mushrooms? Clearly, food is something I've yet to master. This is good news for you though—if I can do this, you definitely will be able to.
I tried to make things as easy as possible by putting out all my ingredients on the counter. I realized after I'd gotten home I'd forgotten mascarpone cheese, and I couldn't find scallions so I'm using shallots instead, but everything else is the same. I have a very bad habit of starting on the recipe before I prepare the ingredients on the list, but after the first step I realized what a mistake that was. Prepare your ingredients first. There's a good reason for it. I was all set to start cooking—heat on, oil cooking—when I realized I hadn't removed the sausage casings. The recipe itself was simple—no hard steps and no words I had to look up!
The recipe didn't say how long it would take to get everything in the oven, but I think it took me about half an hour, mostly because I like to be thorough (partially because I took a short Guitar Hero break), and I'm not a particularly quick cook. The baking, however, took less than 50 minutes. It was probably closer to 40, if not less.
When they came out the oven, I was initially saddened at the lack of green they sported compared to Ina's originals, but they were really tasty and surprisingly filling! I think the mascarpone would have been a nice touch. The shallots were a good scallion substitute. On a side note, these weren't the only things for dinner tonight. I think I'm a bold eater—I'll try almost anything and I'll put the oddest two things on my spoon. In my defense, I'm also a college student—sometimes I just have to make do. So tonight, I'd happened to serve guacamole and chips as an appetizer to this dish. Even then, I barely finished four stuffed mushrooms, and I sunk into a warm food coma right afterward. They made for a very cozy almost-winter meal.

Dishing It: I'm Crummy With Crust
November 11, 2010 at 9:08 am , by Ladies' Lounge
Making apple pie at Thanksgiving is something I've always left up to my mom. She is an absolutely amazing cook, but when it comes to baking she bakes one thing (and only one thing) really well: apple pie. I'm really the baker of the family. I make cookies, brownies, bars, cake, cake, cake… but for some reason never pie. So for "Dishing It" this week, I chose to make Ina Garten's Deep Dish Apple Pie. Not only did I want to try my hand at pie, but I have to admit I have always joked that Ina Garten was my second mom — or at the very least, an aunt. So for this challenge I decided to pit Ina Garten's apple pie against my dear mom's apple pie. (That's my mom on the left, and of course Ina on the right. You have to admit, they could be related, right?)
First off just glancing at Ina's recipe I see a few major differences. She uses lemon and orange zest as well as fresh lemon juice and orange juice! Whoa, I don't think citrus in any form has ever entered mom's pie, but I digress (sorry shameless Golden Girls reference there).
So, to begin, I started with Ina's perfect piecrust. I followed the directions exactly, but when it came time to roll out the dough, the problems began. No matter how careful I was, the crust kept tearing. So I decided to ball it back up and add some more cold water…thank goodness this mostly did the trick. The recipe calls for 6 to 8 tablespoons of ice water, but I think it needs more, perhaps 8 to 10 tablespoons. Maybe this depends on the climate or my over-eager radiator, but mine was too dry on the first attempt. After I figured this out the rest of my pie making night went pretty smoothly. The only other change I made was after about 30 minutes of baking the top of the pie started to get too dark, so I just covered that section with a bit of tin foil.
After 60 minutes, it was time to take the pie out of the oven. I let it cool slightly, maybe 15 minutes, before I had to have at it. And the verdict is… Sorry Ina, mom wins this one. I'll admit the crust was delicious and flaky, but I just found it way too citrusy and acidic. I think maybe a little orange zest would have delivered a hint of citrus to compliment the spice, but not with lemon zest and juice and orange juice. My mouth was on citrus overload! Mom, I'm sorry for ever doubting you. And "Auntie" Ina, I'm sorry but this pie just wasn't for me. (Don't worry I still love you for your coconut cupcakes and every other baked confection). — Laura D'Abate, associate photo editor

Dishing It: Ina Garten's Wild Rice Salad
November 3, 2010 at 9:07 am , by Tom Claire
This salad recipe (which ran in our November 2010 issue on page 150) intrigued my wife and me for several reasons, not least among which is that it seems to provide a wonderful side dish for many occasions. It would support any number of main dishes no matter the season and might very well stand on its own as the main event at a luncheon at any time of year—pair it with fresh-baked baguettes and the right complementary wine and no guest would go unsatisfied or underfed.
The recipe is not only a breeze to make but fun as well. This is the sort of recipe that any beginning chef ought to be able to master because its steps are so clear and its success is all but guaranteed. That said, it is also the sort of recipe that any pro should be able to make since its flavors are extremely complex: This Wild Rice Salad is as hearty and crunchy, owing to its rice and nuts and grapes, as it is subtle, owing to its varied sweet-salt-acid palate. To say that it is a wild ride on a thrilling roller coaster would be no exaggeration, for its flavors keep unfolding the longer you sample it. But first, here is how its assembly went.
Indeed, the only time-consuming part to this recipe (other than eating it, of course) is cooking the rice. Wild rice takes nearly an hour to prep (unlike the mere 20 minutes that white rice takes). After that, assembly is straightforward: You add the oranges to the cooled rice, then the olive oil, orange juice, raspberry vinegar, grapes (we used green per the recipe but you could also use Thompson Seedless or any other variety' even Concord), pecans, dried cranberries, scallions, salt and pepper. But forget about waiting 30 minutes before sitting down to eat this luscious salad. If you can wait 30 minutes you are either not hungry or your nose is not working. Read more

Traveler's Diarrhea
What Is It?
Traveler's diarrhea is an infection of the intestines that affects about 50% of people who visit the developing world. It comes from eating contaminated food or drinking contaminated water.
Traveler's diarrhea usually is caused by bacteria (most commonly E. coli). It also can be caused by viruses or parasites. The diarrhea is usually not serious and goes away without treatment. However, when diarrhea is very watery and occurs often, dehydration may occur. Dehydration is the biggest danger of traveler's diarrhea.

The Port Arthur News
The year-ending UFC event is always a big one and UFC 168 held last Saturday was the grand finale for 2013. The event dropped the jaws for UFC's high-viewership audience – but for a most unfortunate reason.
Anderson Silva, the Thomas Jefferson of mixed martial art's Mount Rushmore, fractured his leg in a manner not seen since Joe Theismann broke his on Monday Night Football nearly thirty years ago. Like Theismann's injury, Silva's cannot be unseen.
After losing his UFC middleweight title to Chris Wiedman in July, Silva rematched him at the event. During the bout Silva utilized an inside leg kick against Wiedman's legs as a standard strategy to immobilize his opponent.
Silva launched one of his kicks and Wiedman "checked it" or raised his leg in a defensive posture to mitigate the blow.
Silva's shin connected with Wiedman's knee and it snapped in rubbery-like fashion. He collapsed to the canvas and the referee immediately jumped in to stop the bout due to TKO by injury.
I have an interesting anecdote to add. I visited my niece, Victoria, who was MMA training at Powerhouse Gym in Port Neches the day before UFC 168. Much of her training session was solely dedicated to checking leg kicks, over and over and over. This, coupled with what transpired the night after to Silva, brought a quote and an old adage to mind:
• "I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times."
— Bruce Lee
• "The best offense is a good defense."
If Bruce Lee were alive today, he probably would apply his quote to kick "checking" as well.
Be it training locally or the national spotlight, women's MMA has taken off as a hobby and a sport. Not to be overshadowed by the Wiedman-Silva men's UFC showdown, UFC 168's co-main event featured the highly-anticipated UFC women's championship bout between Ronda Rousey and Miesha Tate.
Tate showed tremendous resiliency against the undefeated Rousey, lasting three rounds. But Tate simply had the wrong game plan. It was Tate who surprisingly went for takedowns against Rousey who, as an Olympic Judo medalist, thwarted them almost instinctively and used them against Tate. In the end it was Rousey who forced Tate to tap out to her bread and butter armbar submission.
The end of the UFC's last event of the year left a lot of uncertainty. The promotion took some unexpected knockdowns in the round that was 2013.
In December, Georges St-Pierre announced he would vacate his UFC welterweight title and walk away from fighting indefinitely due to personal matters.
Silva's career, meanwhile, is in question after the complete snapping of his tibia and fibula. His tibia actually had a titanium rod inserted into it.
(Quick commentary: The state-ratified Unified Rules of MMA works; a cageside doctor was on hand to set the fracture, a mandated ambulance rushed Silva to the hospital, and he underwent the procedure within hours of the fracture).
If Silva's leg heals well, it could be six to nine months until he can start training again and possibly more than a year until he fights again.
Georges St-Pierre and Silva are two of the UFC's biggest pay-per-view draws. Detractors have predicted this will mean a downturn for the UFC and 2014 will be a dismal year.
One can emphatically argue it's quite the contrary. Doom and gloom was predicted when the then UFC's largest draw at the time, Brock Lesnar, retired in 2011. Yet the UFC continued on its course of growth. As a two decade-long MMA follower I have learned that the greats leave and other greats arise.
The year 2014 is bright for the UFC and MMA. Johnny Hendricks is expected to battle Robbie Lawler in Dallas for St-Pierre's vacated crown. Silva was the longtime middleweight champion but the current champion, Chris Wiedman, will defend that title against Brazilian Victor Belfort.
Rousey will have a quick turnaround and fight again in February. The UFC will also effectively double the pool of its women fighters by adding a 115-pound strawweight division to go with its current 135-pound women's bantamweight division.
Jon "Bones" Jones seems to be the heir apparent as being the UFC's superstar entering the year. His light heavyweight title victory over Swede Alexander Gustafsson in September was one of the most thrilling of 2013 and a rematch is possible in 2014.
There will be a heavyweight contender eliminator to determine who faces UFC 166 Houston victor Cain Velasquez and the lightweight division is the deepest there is with "Showtime" Pettis currently reigning. These are just a few highlights of what to look forward to in the coming year.
The show will go on for the UFC in 2014. Just don't tell them to break a leg.

Cole does not get enough credit for his piano playing, but then again, how do you give genius enough credit?
"The Waste Land" is most usually and most persuasively read as a satire.
Before Modernism, most poetry told, with showing as merely a form of decoration. Either that, or poetry sought a synthesis between showing and telling where the showing told and the telling showed.
As Kafka said: "The crows maintain that a single crow could destroy the heavens; doubtless this is so, but it proves nothing against the heavens, for the heavens signify simply: the impossibility of crows."

Clayton County police are searching for two armed men who terrorized some college roommates in their Clayton County apartment early Thursday morning, sexually assaulting one woman before fleeing the scene.
"Somebody had to be watching us," said Eve Fields, one of the victims of the home invasion.
"We got a knock on the door," said another victim Tashika McKnight, a student at Clayton State University. "We thought it was one of my friends, because one of my friends was supposed to be coming back later. We opened the door, and they came in. Two guys with two guns started pointing the gun at us telling us to get down. That's when they started robbing us."
They took the victims' cell phones and all of their cash. Clayton County police Officer Charlene Watson-Fraser said that before the armed robbers left, they forced one of the female victims to perform a sex act.
One of the robbery victims, Fields, said that after the men fled on foot, they couldn't immediately call 911.
"We had to go find a house phone. They took all the cell phones. We couldn't call (anybody)," said Fields.
"I feel real sick, sick to my stomach," said robbery victim Shanesha Johnson.
"I still can't believe it's real," said McKnight. "It still seems like a dream to me because it just happened in the middle of nowhere. You never think anything like this would happen to you."
Witnesses described the suspects as young black men with medium builds. Both had their faces covered, but the victims said one man had light skin and wore his hair in dreadlocks.
CBS Atlanta News is not identifying the victim of the alleged sexual assault.

Obituary: Paul Massik
Date: February 15, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
