power button shutdown

I used to have my power button set up to initiate shutdown. Since upgrade to Mavericks, it just does some hibernate thing immediately and I can't find where to change it back. Thanks!

Press and hold the power button for a while for the dialog box to pop up

or hold control key and press power button.

When the dialog box appears

press r for restart, u for shutdown and s for sleep.
