The LeBron James of MMA to Get One Last Shot at Glory

When he debuted in the Octagon back in October, 2005, he held chambered in each deadly, decapitating head-kick all the potential in the world.� And it seemed�like that potential was being realized with a pair of wins by KO, a submission via guillotine, and a quick and violent mauling of Frank Mir.� But Brandon Vera was a Cleveland Cavalier then, stuck banging his head against a ceiling that would forever prevent him from basking in the warm glow of an NBA championship victory party at Dwyane Wade's sprawling crib.� Then came the announcement that Vera would be headlining UFC on FOX 4 opposite Brazilian hitman Mauricio "Shogun" Rua ? and today's shocker from Dana White, that the winner of the bout gets to face�UFC champ Jon Jones next ? and it's as if "The Truth" has turned his back on his beloved home state and beaten a path to Miami.� It's as if Brandon Vera is the MMA equivalent of LeBron James, eschewing Ohio for the Heat, and going where he could very well find that glory that has thus far eluded him.� Well, you know what?� Y'all needs to chill.

The truth about the Truth is that his losses in the cage have come at the hands of top guys (more or less), and they came with "circumstances".� Against former UFC heavyweight champ Tim Sylvia, Vera broke his hand in the first round; against jiu-jitsu master Fabricio Werdum, the stoppage was controversial; against UFC legend Randy Couture, it was a slow death via hugging. �Vera has only truly been smashed by one fighter, UFC light-heavyweight king Jones, and at this point, you aren't anyone in the 205-pound weight class until you've been smashed by Jon Jones.�

Even Shogun has been destroyed by the reigning champ ? and when it comes down to it, who else is left for Jones to face?� Plus, the Brazilian stud, though legendary himself for all he's accomplished in both the UFC and in PRIDE FC, has been injured and rebuilt so many times, there's a high probability he could literally fall to pieces if Jones ? or even Vera ? hits him wrong.

So Vera gets his chance, about as worthy and capable as the rest on the UFC's roster.� Just, please, don't begrudge the LeBron James of MMA his shot glory.� Wouldn't you rather live in Miami instead of Ohio?

Follow Jim Genia here for more crazy.� Or don't.

How to set up Outlook.com email on your iPhone or iPad

How to set up Outlook.com email on your iPhone or iPad

Microsoft has released Outlook.com, what they consider to be the next-generation of email. And much to their credit, Microsoft have gone above and beyond to make sure you can access it not only on the web, but from any and all of your devices, including the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.

Here's how.

How to access Outlook.com on your iPhone or iPad via the web

You can login to Outlook.com on your iPhone or iPad, the same as you can login to it on your Windows or Mac PC.

  1. Go to http://www.outlook.com
  2. Enter your Outlook.com email address and password.
  3. And you're in!
  4. If you'd rather use the full site than the stripped down mobile site, scroll down and tap on PC Site (why "PC Site" and not "Full Version"? Ask Microsoft!).

If you're on your iPhone, you'll get a warning saying you need to upgrade your browser to a newer version of Safari. Ignore than and tap on Continue. That's just poor interception (since you can't update iPhone Safari the way they imply.)

How to access Outlook.com on your iPhone or iPad via Mail

Better than the website, you can set up the built-in iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad Mail app to get your Outlook.com email.

  1. Launch the Settings app from your Home screen.
  2. Scroll down and tap on Mail, Contacts, and Calendars.
  3. Tap on Add Account.
  4. Tap on Hotmail.
  5. Enter your Outlook.com email address and password.
  6. Select what you want to Sync.

And you're done! You will miss out on any web-specific features, which are what Microsoft is working to make all shiny and revolutionary, but you will get all your mail in the unified inbox, right beside iCloud and Gmail if you use those services as well.

Note: You can also set up Outlook.com as Exchange ActiveSync. Just follow the same steps above but choose the Exchange button and use m.hotmail.com as your server.

If you need any extra help, jump into the Outlook.com setup thread in our iOS 5 Forum.
