The Greatest MMA News Column 01.28.14: UFC 169 By The Numbers

News and thoughts on Saturday's UFC 169, GSP's drug testing criticisms, UFC on Fox 10, Rampage and King Mo in Bellator's light heavyweight tournament, Henderson vs. Shogun II, and more!
UFC 169: By The Numbers
- The number of months since Renan Barao and Urijah Faber first met in the main event of UFC 149. Faber entered the match as a slight underdog, and Barao proved those odds too short with a decisive decision win. In all but one round, Faber was out-struck, and each of his takedown attempts failed. At the bout's conclusion, it seemed doubtful the then-33-year-old Faber would ever be able to beat Barao. Eighteen months later, that sentiment seems to have lightened. In December 2012, Faber's camp, Team Alpha Male, hired veteran Duane "Bang" Ludwig as their head coach and the camp's fighters have seen remarkable improvement. Faber's 2013 campaign was perhaps the best calendar year of his entire career. He submitted Ivan Menjivar, Scott Jorgensen, and Michael McDonald, and won a clear decision over Iuri Alcantara. Meanwhile, Barao had finishes over McDonald and Eddie Wineland.
- The number of consecutive featherweight title defenses for Jose Aldo, dating back to the WEC. Jose Aldo has been one of the most successful champions in MMA history but doesn't seem to get the credit for it. His seven consecutive title defenses are more than any other fighter in major MMA history not named Anderson Silva or Georges St-Pierre. The 27-year-old doesn't always have flashy finishes or even at times look head and shoulders above his competition, but nobody has come close to beating him since he came to the United States six years ago. Aldo's 2013 win against former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar last year was more decisive than Ben Henderson could manage. One thing that seems to hurt Aldo every time out is the draining cut to featherweight. It's scary to think he could be even more effective at lightweight than his current weight class.
- The number of consecutive losses combined for Alistair Overeem and Frank Mir, who meet in what may prove to be a loser leaves town match on Saturday night. Big things were expected for Overeem when he signed with the UFC in 2011, none of which really came to fruition. His debut match against Brock Lesnar was expected to be one of the biggest pay-per-views of the year, but drew a disappointing 535,000 buys due to an unusual Friday night time slot, Lesnar losing momentum from his loss to Cain Velasquez, and the public's lack of awareness around Overeem. Still, he won the bout and was earmarked for a heavyweight title match with Junior dos Santos. One random drug test screwed that up. Overeem then insisted on not waiting for a title shot upon his return and fought Antonio Silva. Two particular bad traits bit Overeem after sliding by for the first two rounds. His less-than-iron (wooden?) chin and propensity for gassing out led to Silva knocking him out in the third round. The same issues contributed to his next loss, an August knockout to Travis Browne.
It's been four years since Frank Mir, 34, has looked roundly impressive in the cage. An early 2011 loss to Shane Carwin proved added bulk wouldn't help him ascend back to the top of the division. He did dominate Roy Nelson at UFC 130. His December 2011 bout against Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira provided one of the best highlight reel finishes of Mir's career, but prior to submitting the Brazilian legend Mir was anything but impressive. After that, he suffered three consecutive defeats to Junior dos Santos, Daniel Cormier, and Josh Barnett. Of Mir's eight defeats, seven have come via some form of knockout. If Overeem wins on Saturday, it will likely be by way of some form of knockout. That's an awful lot of punishment for someone to take over the course of a career.
- The number of combined pounds by which John Lineker has missed weight in three of his five UFC bouts. The 24-year-old's streak of three knockouts should place him in serious title contention, but two consecutive bouts where he missed weight place him in a strange middle ground between a title shot and losing his job. Lineker briefly worked with Mike Dolce in this camp, but the distance and language barriers proved too significant. For Lineker, the weigh-ins may prove as significant as the bout itself. Even with a win on Saturday, missing weight on Friday could mean a premature end to his UFC career.
St-Pierre, UFC at odds over drug testing issue.
We've been through this song and dance before, but this time it's UFC's top star criticizing the company's drug policy. Former UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre told reporters in Montreal that UFC's lack of support for his increased drug testing regimen for his November bout against Johny Hendricks was one of the reasons he decided to step away from fighting.
"I tried to change things and unfortunately – maybe for money reasons, maybe for image – they were not ready to do that," St-Pierre said according to ESPN.com. "I tried in a very diplomatic way and it didn't work, so it's unfortunate, but I believe it will happen sooner or later."
The response of the UFC brass regarding drug testing was typical. "If you are using performance enhancing drugs in the UFC, these guys get caught," said Dana White, alleviating the concerns of everyone concerned with fighters' health. "…You show up at one of these international shows, people don't realize we're testing the entire card. You're gonna get caught if you're using it." What White never addresses is the ineffectiveness of testing when a person knows exactly the date of their test months in advance, nor the lack of CIR testing for synthetic testosterone on results that aren't flagged by a high T/E ratio.
The deal is this: the drug testing conducted by the athletic commissions and the UFC is extremely inadequate. Effective drug testing is random, which is a rarity in MMA. Effective drug testing monitors T/E ratios over multiple tests to flag abnormal results even under a 4:1 or 6:1 ratio (which is what
Lance Armstrong to stop doping). Effective drug testing is also expensive, both in and of itself and in residual costs (like a main event fighter failing a test). The UFC either fails to recognize those facts for what they are or for whatever reason ignores them completely.
UFC on Fox: Henderson vs. Thomson thoughts.
UFC's tenth Fox special wasn't very memorable. Overnights had the show drawing 2.55 million viewers, which will grow once final numbers come out because they don't account for west coast viewership. The number isn't good, especially considering it was promoted last week during a football game that drew 56 million viewers. That being said, the number wasn't unexpected considering the card. Josh Thomson
should have beaten Ben Henderson in the main event but the judges went the other way. The fight was close and judges always seem to favor Henderson in close fights. In the co-main event, Stipe Miocic won a decision over Gabriel Gonzaga. It was a solid win over a good fighter, but nothing star-making. Speaking of star-making, it's tough to make stars on Fox when fighters aren't given the opportunity to talk after fights. Donald Cerrone had a brutal looking neck kick knockout against Adriano Martins. He later said he wanted to fight six times this year. At this level, that's really hard to do and still fight at your best. Josh Koscheck was on an "I want to fight all the time" kick in 2008 and 2009 and it may have cost him losses against Thiago Alves and Paulo Thiago (although he may have just been afraid of people named "Thiago"). In the main card opener, Jeremy Stephens won a decision over Darren Elkins. Elkins didn't perform well at all. The prelims were quite good. Alex Caceres upset Sergio Pettis with a third round submission. Pettis is only 20 and should only grow from the experience. Eddie Wineland stopped Yves Jabouin in the second round. Daron Cruickshank had a highlight reel finish with a wheel kick against Mike Rio.
Bellator announces season debut with Rampage and King Mo.
Bellator positioned itself for a strong start to its tenth season by announcing Rampage Jackson and King Mo Lawal for the opener on February 28. Jackson and Lawal represent half of a four-man light heavyweight tournament, along with Christian M'Pumbu and Mikhail Zayats. Jackson is matched with M'Pumbu in the semi-finals, while Lawal will dance with Zayats. It is the only four fighter tournament currently announced for season ten, with the rest featuring eight fighters. Bellator first introduced four fighter tournaments last summer, and last season's bantamweight and heavyweight tournaments had four fighters each. I don't think the reasoning behind this particular tournament is all that difficult to deduce. It puts little in the way of a Rampage vs. Mo final, which, if logic prevails, would be featured under Eddie Alvarez vs. Michael Chandler III on Bellator's re-planned pay-per-view debut.
Easily the biggest star on Bellator's roster, Rampage Jackson, 35, rebounded from the three fight skid that closed out his UFC career with a first round stoppage of Joey Beltran in November. A brawler, Beltran is tough to finish with strikes so in that sense it was impressive, but Jackson's performance in the tournament should give a better indication as to where he's at in his career. Christian M'Pumbu, 36, captured Bellator's light heavyweight title in May 2011 and hasn't won a fight since. Following a non-title loss to Travis Wiuff that October, M'Pumbu sat on the sidelines for more than a year before returning in February of last year against Attila Vegh, who took his light heavyweight title away. A hand injury forced him out of a September match against Vladimir Matyushenko. Lawal, 33, made his Bellator debut last year to much fanfare, but two losses to Emanuel Newton put a damper on his year. However, just the fact that Lawal returned to competition in itself is remarkable considering he suffered from complications from knee surgery and nearly lost his leg. Mikhail Zayats, 32, fell to Emanuel Newton in season eight's light heavyweight finals.
Henderson vs. Shogun II scheduled for March 23 in Brazil.
The rematch of one of the greatest fights in MMA history is on tap for March 23. Dan Henderson, 43, has agreed to a new deal with the UFC and will face Shogun Rua in a rematch of their epic 2011 bout. The back-and-forth 2011 affair was won by Henderson, but really should have been a draw with Rua doing more than enough for a 10-8 fifth round. With that win, Henderson earned a light heavyweight title shot, but it never came to fruition as an injury sidelined him and he returned in 2013 to lose three consecutive fights. Rua has an even 2-2 record since that November night two years ago, beating Brandon Vera and James Te-Huna while losing to Alexander Gustafsson and Chael Sonnen. It's unfair to expect anything close to the first match, but one can hope.
Sonnen and Silva apparently fight on TUF Brazil 3 set.
According to Dana White, Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva got into a fight on the set of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil yesterday. The only account of the skirmish is from FrontRowBrian, who is close to Sonnen. Certainly, various accounts of the incident will vary, perhaps widely, from person to person until the footage is shown (assuming it was caught on camera). According to Brian, Silva threw a punch which Chael ducked. Sonnen took Silva down and threw strikes. At that point Andre Dida, who fought in Dream, came from behind and punched Sonnen in the back of the head. The fight was then broken up.
Also announced yesterday was that TUF Brazil 3 will be shown exclusively in North America on UFC Fight Pass. The idea is that it will be a season people want to see due to the heat between Sonnen and Silva, and once the pay wall goes up UFC will need new programming people want to see. Being on Fight Pass will hurt the build to the eventual fight compared to the season being on Fox Sports 1, but if UFC is really committed to building Fight Pass, there's nothing wrong with the decision.
Quick news:
The Association for Ringside Physicians released a statement in favor of the general elimination of therapeutic use exemptions for testosterone. Dana White, to his credit, agreed with them and went on to say he hoped Vitor Belfort won't be granted a TUE for his match against Chris Weidman… If the Super Bowl is moved to Saturday due to weather, UFC will move UFC 169 to Sunday. This would be big news if there was a real chance of it happening. For the PPV, I think the best option would be to keep it on Saturday but push the start time back. People will already be congregated for the Super Bowl, and I think they'd be more inclined to stay and watch UFC than to get back together the next day for a lower level UFC PPV… Joe Warren's bantamweight title shot is scheduled for Bellator 118 on May 2. Obviously, the winner of Eduardo Dantas vs. Rafael Silva would have to come out healthy… Chris Leben announced his retirement. Good for him... Why are Dana White's thoughts on Justin Bieber a story?

2006 Chevrolet Malibu Review
This 2006 review is representative of model years 2004 to 2007.
By Dan Jedlicka of MSN Autos
Bottom Line:
New trim levels broaden this functional car's appeal.
Chevrolet moves closer to matching top Japanese sedan rivals with its 2006 Malibu, which comes in additional trim levels—including higher-performance SS versions.
The new Malibu also has mildly revised styling, inside and out, although it's far from being a head-turner.
The regular front-wheel-drive Malibu is a 4-door sedan with the conventional styling seemingly favored by most midsize sedan buyers, judging by sales of such cars.
Most Versatile Version
The majority of Americans continue to shy away from autos described as "hatchbacks" because old Japanese hatchbacks gave that body style a "cheap" image. Chevy thus calls the Maxx a "five-door extended sedan"—when most anyone can plainly see it's a hatchback.
Why not just call the Maxx a "crossover?" That's the type of vehicle that's becoming increasingly popular as more folks move away from truck-like SUVs to versatile, more fuel-thrifty car-based crossovers.
Chevrolet just says regular and Maxx versions of the Malibu "are adaptable to different individuals and lifestyles."
Odd Rear Styling
That shows what can be done when a trunk need not be hung behind the rear wheels. However, Chevy should have avoided a Maxx rear end that resembles part of an English bulldog.
Higher Performance
The SS also has a sport suspension, big 18-inch alloy wheels with wide 50-series tires and unique interior and exterior appointments, including a rear spoiler that doesn't have a boy-racer look.
Weak Entry Engine
All engines are hooked to a responsive 4-speed automatic transmission, with the one in SS versions having manual shift capability. However rival Toyota and Honda models have a more efficient 5-speed automatic.
Good Fuel Economy
The rigidly built Malibu rides on General Motors' Epsilon platform, also used for the Saab 9-3 chassis. It helps allow good handling and provides a solid feel.
Steering Needs Improvement
Malibu SS versions have sharper handling than non-SS versions and a supple ride, despite a firmer all-independent suspension and tires larger than those on regular versions. Stops are straight and controlled, thanks partly to an easily modulated brake pedal.
Gauges can be quickly read, and clearly marked controls are easy to reach on all Malibus. The ignition switch is on the dashboard so one need not grope for it on the steering column, especially in the dark. But a driver can't easily reach his front console cupholder with the shift lever in the "drive" position because that lever gets in the way. Inside door handles should be larger to allow easier exits.
Interior materials aren't comparable to those of top Japanese rivals, although they're attractive. A deep, covered storage bin easily swallows objects such as cell phones.
Revised Styling
The base Malibu has been discontinued, but there is a new uplevel LTZ model with additional premium features.
The quiet Malibu interior, which comfortably seats four tall adults, has updated trim and a new 4-spoke steering wheel. There's also new low-beam daytime running lights.
The Maxx hatchback provides a cargo area that accepts 22.8 cubic feet of household miscellany, or 7.4 cubic feet more than the regular Malibu sedan, which has a decent-size trunk. With rear seatbacks folded forward, the Maxx can swallow 41 cubic feet of cargo. No wonder more pragmatic—and less spoiled—European motorists favor hatchbacks.
Sliding Rear Seat
To help keep hands clean from dirty outside metal, the light Maxx liftgate has two hand-hold indents lined with a sandpaper-like material that provides exceptional grip, even in wet weather. That's a nice touch that often will be appreciated every time the liftgate is yanked shut.
Rear Skylight
The Maxx also has a removable heavy-duty parcel shelf/tailgate table that can be used at four positions for two-tier loading. It has hooks on which to hang items such as grocery bags.
Options include a rear-seat audio system and DVD entertainment system with wireless headphones that can be stored in the center fold-down rear armrest, which has dual cupholders. The center of the back seat is too hard for occupant comfort, anyway.
Other extras include a power sunroof, XM satellite radio and OnStar assistance.
Malibu prices begin at $17,365 for the base LS trim level and end at $24,065 for the Maxx SS, with various prices for midrange LT and LTZ regular and Maxx versions.
Even the entry LS is well-equipped, with such features as air conditioning, cruise control, AM/FM/CD player and power windows, mirrors and door locks with remote keyless entry.
A remote engine start system that lets you get a head start on the interior heating and cooling systems from a range of up to 200 feet is standard on all models except the LS, which is equipped for dealer activation of the system.
The LS and LT come with the 4-cylinder engine, while the LTZ/LTZ Maxx versions have the 201-horsepower V6, which is optional for the LT.
Anti-lock disc brakes and traction control are optional on the LS and LT, but standard on other Malibus. Wheel sizes are 15-inch on the LS, 16-inch on the LT, 17-inch on the LTZ, with the SS getting 18-inchers.
Safety Items
All Malibus have a tilt-telescopic steering wheel and power driver's seat height adjuster. The LTZ and LTZ Maxx, along with SS trim levels, have standard power adjustable pedals and heated front seats, which are extra for the LT and LT Maxx. The LTZ has leather upholstery, while the SS has a cloth-leather combination.
The standard Malibu is fine, but the Maxx version is handier—and its unusual rear styling may even grow on owners.

Obama Administration Seeks Stay of Injunction Halting DADT

Today, the Department of Justice asked judge Virginia Phillips's to stay her decision halting all discharges under the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law. They also filed a notice of appeal of the case before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It is certainly disappointing and frustrating that the administration has sought a stay. We continue to believe that there's nothing remotely constitutional about laws that discriminate against LGBT people. But there is one simple way to put the endless legal wrangling behind us and do what the President and the American people want to strengthen our military: the administration and Congress need to finish the legislative work on 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' repeal after the election. The interests of the administration, the military, and most importantly the American people are best served by doing the hard work of enacting a durable legislative repeal of this discriminatory law.Continue Reading ►

Domani Bistro reviews from OpenTable diners
- Steaks are not their giftMattyDined on 12/24/2013We loved the restaurant but they mixed up our order and the New York Strip was rare and full of marbling, the filet was medium and tough. it was Christmas Eve and we did not want to ruin the dinner for our guest so we ate it but it was an expensive dinner that was not good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Second visit and it provedGregDined on 12/20/2013Second visit and it proved the first was no fluke. Had a very good meal. Lively place this time. Last time was rather quiet...maybe it was the day of the week but I don't recall. This time was a Friday and the place was mostly full. Excellent value. Prices are very reasonable. We definitely recommend it.Special Features:
- One of my favesCassieVIPDined on 12/14/2013Came here for my moms birthday and she loved it! Asked for a standup in a bar on open table and they reserved one For us! I was very impressed w that. For is always amazing. Our server on this night was particularly fabulous. The only thing I would suggest is to sit in the bar area. I prefer more people around when I'm out to eat and the dining room is a Little sterile and quiet for my taste. Wasn't my first visit and def won't be my last.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We will be returning!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 11/30/2013Domani's is an exceptional gem that caters to the foodie.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently wonderfulFoodiegalDined on 11/16/2013The menu has changed with the season and while we miss some old favs, there was so much to love once again. Definitely recommend the eggplant parm-- tasty, slightly crisped breaded medallions of fresh eggplant, with the perfect consistency of cheese and sauce made for a tasty dinner. Leftovers were yummy for lunch the next day too! Our table also had salmon cake appetizers ( YES!), tater tots (don't miss) . mahi ( good) , filet. Osso Buco and the chicken- in a tasty cream sauce. All were scrumptious. Bosco whipped up some great drinks, service was great, as usual, local talent playing 40s standards added to the liveliness and ambience. Love how friendly other diners always are- great food/atmosphere, no pretense.Special Features:
- GREAT service, food AND drinks!TPOCONNORDined on 11/16/2013This was a wonderful dining experience from beginning to end! Made our reservation on Open Table, specifying our preferred table. While the restaurant was PACKED upon our arrival (10 minutes late) our table was ready and waiting...it may have been the only open table in the place at that point. Our server was lovely and attentive. I had the lamb, hubby the filet...it was a perfect evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Decent food for the price.SpotterDined on 11/16/2013Decent food for the price. The server, Mindy, was very accomplished. There was a change(upwards) in the house wine prices which is not reflected on the website. The main drawback is the noise level, which makes it difficult to have a conversation. Overall, the food is good and prices are reasonable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- A FindDomani50Dined on 11/14/2013In Fine Dining I would highly recommend this restaurant for celebration. The setting is very intimate and private for a romantic dinner. The food was top knotch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable nightHammertimeDined on 11/10/2013Food and service were outstanding, one of my new favorites!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great place for week or weekendOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 11/8/2013We usually come for the great bar scene and food weekdays and were pleasantly surprised to see the restaurant take it up a notch on weekend with lively music and slightly more formal. Will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Will become a regularbdtampaDined on 10/23/2013Having seen the restaurant several times and heard from a friend that is was great we decided to give it a whirl. The food and service were great and the presentations were fabulous. We will become regulars here as it was that good. Give it a try.Special Features:
- Worth the drive to Seminole HeightsNewmanDined on 10/19/2013Domani Bistro is a gem that's worth driving to Seminole Heights. Parking is easy; ambiance is great. Our server was very knowledgeable about the entire menu and helped with recommendations. There is a great piano/ trumpet duo that provides just the right level of music for dining and drinking. Great range of food. The fried anchovy appetizer looked very interesting, though we opted for grapes rolled in a soft cheese and encrusted with pistachios. For dinner my husband had grouper accompanied with fresh peas. I had eggplant parmesan which was cooked just right and served over pasta. The bar specializes in hand-crafted cocktails. We will be back, and we'll bring friends.Special Features:
- Surprise Find!!!!!AquaPeggyDined on 10/11/2013My friends and I went to Domani Bistro because my friend, Dwayne White, was playing trumpet there that night. We had no idea what to expect from the restaurant but planned to eat there, too. What a pleasant surprise! The wine was great, and the food was even better! Most importantly, the food was not salty. Most restaurants ruin the flavor with too much salt. We senior citizens cannot eat that much salt and usually go home with swollen ankles and high blood pressure. Domani's chef knows to flavor the food with natural ingredients and spices, not an overabundance of salt. Thank you very much, and we will be back. The music was great, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Foodie FindjgramlingDined on 10/10/2013Domani was very good. The menu was creative - think Tempura anchovies for example. Their bread dipping sauce was made with an excellent olive oil and non-typical spices. Everything we had was excellent and we will definitely return to try other items. We went on a Thurs about 6:00 and we were the only people in the restaurant the whole time even though they seemed to have a fair crowd at the bar. Hopefully this is not typical because they really need to stay open for business.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our favorite restaurant in TampaJessiBDined on 10/4/2013I think the best way to describe how much we love this restaurant is that we have made it our goal to eat our way through each menu before they change it again. Which is not easy as we find so many favorites as we go. Smoky octopus that melts in your mouth, filet with blue cheese mash and bacon soy caramel, grapes rolled in brie and pistachios with a red wine reduction. And one of the best drink menus around with house infused liquors.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Serious funFoodiegalDined on 9/28/2013We are regulars for an after dinner drink, but recently became enamored with teh foo. The appetizer tater tots, lemon risotto and short ribs are brilliant. But recently, we tried their watermelon tower salad- a sensational mix of glazed balsamic, fresh local greens and caramelized onions and crisp refreshing watermelon. A true gastronomic adventure great for warm weather. Cant wat til the dish returns next summer, Their tuna was also delectable and we enjoy the local musical talent, friendly folks at and around the bar and the way it feels like you have returned home. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Bosco's potions are also worth a try!Special Features:
- Noisy but goodYumyumDined on 9/21/2013Simple but lively atmosphere, quality food, good prices. The spinach salad was excellent! (Too bad we didn't get to finish it before the waiter brought out the entrees.) The dining room when filled is too loud. We had to shout across the table to talk, but it least it is a convivial atmosphere! It would be nice if they would offer at least one regular vegetarian entree.Special Features:
- Excellent all around.mikeinparisDined on 9/21/2013I had no idea there was an Italian restaurant this good in the Seminole Heights area. Actually, I drove all the way from St. Pete last week just for the lamb chops! From the very good wine list to the inventive Italian cuisine to the best service in Tampa, an evening at Domani is a great night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerJudyDined on 9/21/2013dinner was great! We could not have asked for anything better. My husband and I had the spaghetti and meatballs, and they were delicious. They had just a hint of lemon. My daughter had the pork shank braised in wine, and it too was delicous. We will definitely be bavkSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- So-soZbobDined on 9/20/2013I'd give the food a B-...just ordinary, nothing extraordinary. My wife's tomato bisque was a slight step above tomato soup...a bit bland. And her eggplant parmesan was skimpy on the eggplant and thin slices at that. My filet and blue cheese mashed was good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not rushing back6minDined on 9/14/2013I wouldn't rush back - food not worth it plus they were out of a couple items - and the noise was intolerable - couldn't even talk with friends at my table.
- Outstanding Food; Unbearable NoiseGeorgesVIPDined on 9/14/2013Every dish my group had was outstanding, creative, plentiful and well-priced but the service was extremely slow & poorly paced -- half hour before drinks were served; one hour before bread was served simultaneously with appetizers and food not long after. We could forgive all this as start-up pains but conversation level was excessively high when we arrived to a partially filled room and became unbearable once the jazz band, with trumpet, started. Shouting is required to have any dinner conversation at all. The bar was quite busy and people seemed to be happy. So maybe this is just best for a younger crowd!Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 9/13/2013Friendly reception from the hostess and our server and a pleasant atmsphere with live music. Unable to taste the brie in the award-winning Grape appetizer (a little too sweet for our taste as an appetizer; might have been better as a dessert.) Fresh and well-cooked grouper entree, but very little flavor. Special of the night, braised pork with dandelion greens; maybe it was our misinterpretation of the server's description, but it was basically a scoop of ((tasty) pulled pork with fancy spices and the greens were not to my husband's liking-a little to far off both of our taste palates.
- First time-Will be backExpandingChoicesVIPDined on 9/7/2013Good food, good environment, good service. Menu was broad enough to provide choices while still feeling refined. Tomas did a good job with explanations. Rolled grapes were good recommendations from other users. Restaurant felt trendy and foodie without trying to be.Special Features:
- Second time was not a charmDrschafesVIPDined on 9/6/2013Food was terrific, once delivered. Place was full...which caused the service to be quite slow. One of our steaks was way overcooked. The manager did compensate us by waiving corkage and comping dessert. Food is terrific...hope they get the service part to match...Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/1/2013I was looking for higher energy and broader brunch menu, but what they did, they did well, and I left impressed, I will go back for the outstanding eggs benedict!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great foodJm32VIPDined on 8/30/2013this was our 4th time dining at domani and the food and service was excellentSpecial Features:
- A wonderful spot!FoodisfunDined on 8/30/2013This place is perfect. The food is hand-crafted and gourmet without being fussy or pretentious. It reminds me of a bistro in a "sophisticated" city like Seattle or San Francisco but it is right here in our little rugged Seminole Heights neighborhood. The atmosphere is great: warm, arty, inviting. I have been here twice, both times quite memorable. The filet mignon was tender, thick perfectly aged and cooked. The lamb was splendid. The handcrafted cocktails were delicious. The service was extraordinary on both of my visits, and the live music was a plus.... This is my new go-to restaurant in Tampa for a nice, real food/real food night out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We will be backJEatsDined on 8/27/2013Through the Dine Tampa Bay weeks we were looking for a Tampa restaurant we had never been to and this was a pleasant surprise. Off our beaten path, the food was very good and the service was friendly and timely. It was a great find!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of my favorites in TampaTampaWineGuy42Dined on 8/23/2013I have dined here on about 5 occasions over the year that this restaurant has been open. Every time, I have found the food to be fantastic and the service always on point. Tonight was no exception. Loved the Filet and the Salmon Crudo. Definitely recommend this fine experience, and they have even dramatically improved the wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Domani's is a great find;KimmieDined on 8/18/2013Domani's is a great find; we will definitely be back. We celebrated our anniversary on a Sunday evening. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable in suggesting items on the menu. Everything we ordered was spectacular from the octopus appetizer to the osso bucco to the napa cabbage salad. Prices are very reasonable and we ordered appetizer, wine, and dessert. Ambience very nice. Will recommend to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost PerfectlastnightofvacationVIPDined on 8/17/2013We really enjoyed our dinner here. Nice place, very friendly staff and interesting menu. Love, love, loved the Rolled Grapes. We could have eaten a plate full. Hubby had the Pork Shank Osso Buco and he raved about the obviously house made pasta that came with it. I had Grilled Grouper. It was OK. The peas it came with were a little bland and undercooked for my taste. The fish was cooked very nicely and I was liking it until I got a mouth full of scales. I removed the rest of the skin from the fish and did eat the rest. It was good, except for the scales. I mentioned the scales to the server and it ended there. I did eat it all but I guess I expected some response from the server like I'll tell the chef. We will be back though.Special Features:
- SH gemBevieDined on 8/17/2013Great food in an eclectic, vibrant atmosphere. Interesting mixed drink options and attentive service. Fairly small menu but still nice options for vegetarians. Definitely will return and recommend to others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Another Seminole Heights Gem!independentrestaurantfanDined on 8/10/2013Our Domani's evening was top-notch. Live music in the bar was enjoyable, the service was appropriately attentive and our meal was excellent -- four different entrees and all received rave reviews. Our only complaint was our table location (too close to the entrance) and the noise level in the restaurant. Our party had to talk far too loudly to have a conversation due to the overall noise level in the restaurant's "hard space". Overall, our experience was excellent and very good value. It's nice to see the growing number of quality independent restaurants in Tampa.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Eclectic ItalianLutzluv2dineDined on 8/7/2013Second time here and does not disappoint. Everyone loved their food. Glad to see the revitization in the area. The calamari and muscles appetizer were a big hit. The meatballs were unique but surprisingly tasty. The gnocchi is light a fluffy, not your normal heavy glob. Duck confit been good both times. No negatives at all. Try it you'll like it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Awesome...LynADined on 8/3/2013Have been hearing the name Domani around town and mentioned in reviews. I live in Seminole Height but never saw it when driving around. It is certainly a hidden neighborhood gem. Romantic, dimly lit, warm colors set the atmosphere for a relaxing evening. Food was awesome. Service attentive. I had the Egg Plant Parmesan which went perfectly with the waiters recommended red wine (sorry didn't get the name of the wine). It was a generous portion, and oozing with mozzarella. My boyfriend had the fillet with mashed potatoes which he also enjoyed. I had a bite of the beef -- it was tender and cooked as ordered perfectly. Definitely a place to bring special out of town guests if wanting to impress. We will return!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ExcellentJm32VIPDined on 7/31/2013This was our 2nd time at Domani and the food and service are excellentSpecial Features:
- Great Find!JackalDined on 7/14/2013Had it not been for Open Table, I'm not sure I'd have ever found this place. Group of four went on a last minutes quest for Italian food. After thirteen years in Tampa I hadn't found this place until I used Open Table to sarch. So glad I did, couldn't have been happier with the service, menu or price. We'll definitely be going back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Domani has a promising menu;rebucfanVIPDined on 7/12/2013Domani has a promising menu; but they need to get themselves a wine chiller; Room temperature for wine does not mean serve at 75F.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Man watches wife and 4 kids die in crash
A Central California mother and her four children were killed in fiery crash after a vehicle ran a stop sign and hit their SUV.
California Highway Patrol Officer Axel Reyes says the accident occurred at 7:08 p.m. Saturday when a minivan ran a stop sign and hit the 29-year-old woman and her four kids — ages 1, 3, 6 and 11 — riding in an SUV at an intersection in Fresno County. In minutes, the SUV was engulfed in flames.
The woman's husband, driving a quarter mile behind the SUV, was unable to free his family. He received minor burns to his hands.
The minivan's driver, 41-year-old Juana Martinez Bejarano, was hospitalized for moderate to major injuries.
Coroner's investigators haven't confirmed the identities of the burned bodies.

Before our trip to real Senegal, we got to go to Little Senegal in Harlem. we walked around and saw some music CDs, DVDs, clothings, wood sculptures, spices and many other things. The most memorable thing was the food. it was fish and hot sauce which was so good. Some people thought that the food would be weird like zebra tungue ;) but it wans't! it was incredibly good. I said bye-bye to my diet and enjoyed the food.
breakfast was usually french baguette with chocolate spread or butter with coffee or powdered milk. since not every household has refrigerator or even if they do, power goes out almost everynight, it doesn't make much sense to have dairy food around. so powdered milk was used instead. it tasted like baby food. My host family gave a a cup on the first morning. In my host family, everybody gets a cup and they have to wash it and take it to the room and bring it down every morning if they wanted to drink something.
typical breakfast: Baguette + chocolate spread +coffee/ powder milk
Throughout the trip, we got to have lots of fish, chicken, rice and bread. we hardly had any fresh veggie. and due to its relious belief (Islam), pork wasn't common. We had onion sauce the most which was poured over rice and eaten or just eaten with bread.
fish+ onion sauce + couscous
fish + onion sauce + white rice
fish + rice + very spicy sauce
Popular juices are bissap juisce, ginger juice and Buy(bouy) juice. Buy is the fruit of the boabab tree. Bissap juice smells flowery and fresh. it is sweet and somewhat like cranberry + pomegrante. Buy juice is thicker and milky. The one we had in Little Senegal was sweeter.
Buy juice
on the day 4, i started to crave hamburger. i also wanted some salty potato chips. This was somewhat alarming because i thought 'if i can't survive more than 4 days without junkfood, something must be wrong.' anyway, I went to the supermarket called "Casino" where all the French and American products were, and bought junkfood and ate them. for a while, Casino was my heavenly place where there is AC and junk food!. We also found a restaurant called "Ceasars" where we can get ice cream, pizza, fries, milkshakes.. you name it. we went there quite often too. i didn't take picture of hamburger or potato chips thinking that it is not Senegalese experience, but now i regret it. Hamburger withdrawl symptoms showed me how addicting the junk foods are!
p.s : Senegalese hamburger wasn't as juicy as i hope and fried chicken was so bony there was no meat to eat.
"eat me!", the junk food said.

Assessing student learning through rubrics
Posted in Uncategorized | Comments (0)
As InsideHigherEd.com explains, although Margaret Spellings is out – the push to measure and document student learning is only strengthening with efforts such as the National Institute for Learning Outcomes Assessment (http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/01/23/assess. We often get asked here at StudentVoice, can a survey measure student learning? My answer to this: Yes, you can measure students' perceptions of their learning through a survey. But, striving to triangulate your survey data with other more direct measures of learning is always ideal. Many of the projects that we facilitate at StudentVoice are indirect measures of student learning in that you are not actually seeing the student demonstrate a certain skill level or change in behavior. Asking students if they increased their level of understanding or learned something new after a program, event or experience on campus, for example, provides students' perception of growth, development, and/or learning. Students' perceptions of learning are certainly a valid thing to assess, but ideally you would find ways to measure different types of evidence of student learning.
Rubrics help you to document direct measures of learning that can complement your more indirect measures of learning that you might collect through a survey. Once a rubric is developed, we can host your rubric on StudentVoice as a web or PDA form. So, instead of using pieces of paper for indicating scoring on a rubric, the data you would enter on pieces of paper and tally by hand can be input into StudentVoice directly. This approach not only provides a centralized location to store all your assessment data (whether you collect it with StudentVoice or not), but it also allows you to link with your divisional, departmental, and program goals through our online Management tool.
This month, Carrie Zelna of NC State has graciously agreed to present on rubrics during our professional development webinar series (https://www.studentvoice.com/app/Training/WebinarsSpring09.aspx. Join us on February 18th at 2PM (Eastern) for this session that will help you to enhance your assessment repertoire and add measures that complement your survey data. Sign up at: http://community.studentvoice.com/training/.

Back-slapping at the European Parliament – but also concerns
Members of the European Parliament engaged in some mutual back-slapping at their final session this week before an election next month.
"Nowadays very few decisions are taken in the European Union without the express consent and participation of the European Parliament," said the parliament's president, Hans-Gert Poettering.
"Increasingly, the European Parliament has become the fulcrum of political compromise at European level," he said, reeling off a long list of laws passed in the assembly's five-year term.
Graham Watson, leader of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in the chamber, hailed Poettering's work: "Today, I think that I can speak for many when I say that you have earned our respect and affection."
What will Biden say? I know, Sarkozy says
To many of the hundreds of defence experts, heads of state, ministers and journalists at the Munich Security Conference, U.S. Vice President Joe Biden's speech was the keenly awaited highlight of the three-day gathering in Bavaria. Biden, on his first trip to Europe in his new role, was expected to lay out the foreign policy priorities of President Barack Obama's administration to European allies, including Washington's future policy on Afghanistan and Iran.
But well before Biden took the stage in the plush Munich hotel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy told the audience that he, at least, was already in the know about Biden's speech. As Biden watched on from the front row, Sarkozy deviated from his speech on France's policies towards NATO and the defence priorities of the European Union, and said with a smirk: "I already know what the vice-president will say … because he sent me his manuscript in advance. "That's part of good management," Sarkozy said to loud laughter from the audience. Biden smiled, listening to Sarkozy's comments over headphones through a translator.

The undergraduate program in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD) is a pre-professional course that provides the essential background for students to pursue graduate work in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology. Graduate degrees at the master's or doctoral level are necessary to work as speech-language pathologists or audiologists. These individuals work as
- professionals to assist people who have communication disorders
- teachers, clinical supervisors, and/or researcher in universities
- administrators and leaders in healthcare or educational settings
There is a nationwide shortage of speech-language pathologists and audiologists so they are in strong demand for jobs. Learn more about what speech-language pathologists and audiologists do. The undergraduate degree can be pursued as a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) option. There are several differences in the course requirements for these two degree programs. Students are expected to consult the Undergraduate Catalog for details about course requirements.Most undergraduate courses are only offered once a year so students need to plan carefully.
A major in CSD also prepares a student to pursue research in communication sciences and disorders through the research master's program (Master of Science in Communication Sciences and Disorders) and the Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy) program. Research is essential in order to understand more about how humans communicate and the problems that can interfere with their communication. There is also a strong demand for individuals who have graduate research training in the field. A major in SCD also provides an excellent background for students who want to pursue careers in related areas, such as special education, deaf education, medicine, dentistry.
Courses in the CSD major
See the Undergraduate Catalog for information about the courses to take for a major in Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). A number of the courses have prerequisites that students need to know about to ensure smooth and efficient progress through the major. Most undergraduate courses are only offered once a year so students need to plan carefully.

If swipe generates enough threat it doesn't need to be spammed. Right now with everyone being AOE-happy spamming swipe worked as a way to keep threat easily on multiple mobs. Without that we could really only hold 2 (maul glyph) or 3 (berserk when off cooldown) and anything more mean busting out the swipe spam or using mouseover/tab lacerate macros. Swipe was just the easiest thing to do. It might still be the easiest thing to do but for those who want to try and do more DPS it gives us some free GCD's to throw in things like mangle and press more than one button without having to worry about losing aggro.

« Overcoming the Porn Problem | Main | Tea Party Jesus: 'Blessed Are the Mean' »
January 12, 2012
Was Elvis the Founder of Christian Rock?
That's one of many questions explored in an upcoming film on 'the story of Christian rock.'
If the list of interviewees for Bleed Into One, an upcoming documentary on the history of Christian rock, is an indication of filmmaker Tim Hudson's ability to piece together a good film, then he's off to a great start.
Bleed Into One: The Story of Christian Rock, Told by Those Who Survived, currently in the editing phase and aiming for a late 2012 release, includes interviews with CCM legends like Randy Stonehill, Steve Taylor, Phil Keaggy, John Schlitt, Glenn Kaiser, Charlie Peacock, and many more, including much more contemporary stars like Jeremy Camp, MercyMe's Bart Millard, Relient K's Matt Thiessen, and Skillet's John Cooper. Plus requisite interviews with experts like former GMA president John Styll, Raised by Wolves author John J. Thompson, HM magazine editor Doug Van Pelt, and P.O.D. manager Tim Cook.
It all adds up to what Hudson says (on a blog post) is an exploration of Christian rock's "secret history, one that people think they know but really have no idea, and it's all here, waiting to be put together, watched, and discussed. Hopefully your interested in piqued . . ."
Mine certainly is. But the film may never get finished -- or see the light of day -- if Hudson is unable to fund his closing costs, $30,000 for licenses to play all those great songs, and another $30,000 for post-production costs. That's why Hudson has launched a Kickstarter campaign, but he needs to raise that $60,000 by Feb. 4 -- just three weeks from now. (Heck, I even went to Kickstarter and made a small contribution.) Kickstarter has helped countless projects get off the ground, including the previously dead-in-the-water Blue Like Jazz film, which raised almost thrice its $125,000 goal and will now release to theaters in April.
As for the above title of this blog post, that comes from a video teaser that includes a clip from one of the interviewees -- Mike Roe of the 77s and the Lost Dogs, who says, "I don't like the term 'Christian rock,' but if it did begin somewhere, maybe it began with Elvis Presley." It'll be interesting to hear Roe elaborate on that in the final film.
A documentary on the history of Christian rock is long overdue. Here's hoping Hudson can complete the task and pull it off. That's a movie I'd like to see.
Here's the official website, and the Facebook site. Below, find the teaser, and below that, a longer trailer for the film:
Bleed Into One - Teaser from Eyecue Media on Vimeo.
Not a bad post, rather good actually, but I still can't agree that Elvis is the father of Christian Rock.

Can we discuss the economics of abundance? And the possibility of 'free' instead of a guaranteed minimum income?
I'm delighted to hear Mr. McAfee discussing this and would love to more about what professional economists have to say about the performance of economic models in a society of abundance, as opposed to scarcity.
I would love to hear thoughts, and be pointed in the right direction for further reading etc, on the possibility of providing essential goods and services for free - in place of, or in addition to, something like a guaranteed minimum income.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Jun 13 2013: I suspect that as material goods become abundant, the new currency will be time. Until we find a way to live forever or at least meaningfully extend the productive life span, scarcity will be what we do with the time we have on this planet. I think it is inherently (or instinctively) human to seek meaning and purpose in ones life - self actualization. Meaning and purpose are heavily shaped societies norms, expectations and values - I think we will recognize that once individuals experience abundance without fear of losing it, they will begin to focus on psychic rewards. These rewards will fundamentally be about recognition and achieving contentment.
I wonder if the new measures of success will be an individual's impact on society.
Jun 14 2013: Hi Vincent, I think you're exactly right - the currency, per se, will change. Indeed, I believe that change has already begun to a certain extent (look at some of the people who are TED-celebrities - they have great influence and social capital without, necessarily, much financial capital at all).

[SIZE=3][b]N.Y. Olympic bid faces key hurdle [/b][/SIZE]
By DAVID SALTONSTALL
A decision with potentially huge implications for New York will be made tomorrow in far-away Lausanne, Switzerland - a city with fewer people than most Manhattan zip codes.
That's where the International Olympic Committee will announce which of nine cities will reach the short list to host the 2012 Olympics.
The stakes could not be higher for Mayor Bloomberg, who is counting on the city's Olympic bid to help spur everything from the development of Manhattan's far West Side to new affordable housing in Queens to the city's tourism trade.
"Make no mistake about it," said Deputy Mayor Dan Doctoroff, who will be in Lausanne when the finalists are announced. "The competition is intense."
New York is up against eight other cities: Havana, Istanbul, Leipzig, London, Madrid, Moscow, Paris and Rio de Janeiro.
While the IOC has not said how many cities will be cut, veteran Olympic watchers believe three or four will be eliminated this week. The final winner will not be named until July 2005.
Most experts also believe the likelihood of New York's surviving this round is strong.
"Their chances of reaching the short list are pretty much rock solid," said Rob Livingstone, the producer of GamesBids.com, an Internet site that tracks Olympic bids.
"The United States generates so much revenue for the IOC, they wouldn't want to insult the U.S. by kicking off the only American city so early," he added. "And it is a good bid."
A win would be a big boost for Bloomberg, who is still battling to convince voters that a new stadium on the far West Side - paid for in part by $300 million in city funds - would bring further development in the area.
The Olympics also would spur the construction of a 4,400-unit athletes' village in Long Island City, Queens - providing affordable housing after the games - and revitalize athletic centers and transportation hubs across the region, the mayor argues.
Officially, Bloomberg says the stadium is for the Jets - and should be built regardless of any Olympic offer. But it's hard to underestimate the political pull of an Olympic role for the 70,000-seat arena.[/b][/color]
"The stadium is so tied to the Olympics, it will be a lot more difficult to justify the public expenditure simply for a Jets stadium," said Jonathan Bowles, research director at the Center for an Urban Future.
[color=green][b]The Daily News Also did a poll on weither or not NYC wants an Olympics.
It's loosing 73% NO to 27% YES.
And when did we lose 5,000 seats?[/b][/color]

Is NZ Telecom's local staffing a ruse?
Had Air New Zealand not beaten them to it, you might expect Telecom's latest TV ads to tell us how much the telco supports the All Blacks.
Darren Greenwood keeps his feet on New Zealand's shaky ground and his head up in the long white cloud.
Darren Greenwood has been in journalism, not all of it IT, since the days of typewriters and long before the web spun its way around the world. Coming from Yorkshire, he can be blunt, and though having resided in New Zealand, as well as Australia, for quite some time, he insists he is not one of the 'sheeple!'
Had Air New Zealand not beaten them to it, you might expect Telecom's latest TV ads to tell us how much the telco supports the All Blacks.
Remember all the abuse Telecom rightfully received over the many failings with its XT network? There were the experts flown in from abroad, the tussles with supplier Alcatel-Lucent and the humble apologies of CEO Dr Paul Reynolds.
Remember the old saying about being "innocent until proven guilty"? Well, the latest version of New Zealand's Copyright Amendment Bill has a farcical reversal of this, which has created rightful outrage.
People should stop whining about the expense Telecom New Zealand has incurred in its move to new large and flashy headquarters.
A few days ago, the Telecom Users Association of New Zealand (TUANZ) appointed a new boss — former Computerworld editor Paul Brislen, an old colleague of mine.
As Australians fear China might use Huawei investment in NBN to spy on their country, Kiwis have other concerns about trading with the dragon.
If Telecom New Zealand is to become a partner in the New Zealand Government's ultra-fast broadband project, it will certainly have to raise its game.
It seems our IT vendors are rip-off merchants and our IT leaders are too dumb to notice.
Those who lament the law-free nature of the internet should consider the state of non-net society.
Despite my predictions for an "age of austerity", I haven't seen signs of fiscal prudence from Julia Gillard's new government yet. New Zealand's government, on the other hand, is certainly tightening the screws.
