If your current institution does not offer one or more of the required courses, please attach a letter with your application explaining your situation.
Admissions Criteria
In our Off-Campus Transfer students, we look for leaders who have made a significant contribution to their communities and will continue to do so. The right candidates will have a strong academic record, prominent leadership skills, exceptional communication skills, diverse interests and perspectives, and an eagerness to participate.
We read every application on a holistic basis. Each portion of the application is considered individually and in conjunction with the other portions. No single factor determines your admission status.

Golf teams rally for second-, third-place finishes
High-score rounds at the Northwest Conference Spring Classic proved costly for the men's and women's golf teams April 10-11.
However, an eight-stroke improvement by the men and a consistent second round for the women allowed the 'Cats to claim second and third place, respectively.
The men opened up the tournament in Moses Lake, Wash., in a rough way, as the Wildcats' 305 total score put them in third place and 12 strokes behind Whitworth University.
Senior Tyler Nelson emerged as the tournament frontrunner after carding a Linfield season-best 68 in the first round.
Linfield heated up on the second day, shaving eight strokes off its first-round score that launched the 'Cats to second place.
Although Nelson's score ballooned to 76 on the final day, several Wildcats lowered their opening-round posts to lead the Linfield push.
Senior Joel Rychard fired a minus-1 71 in the second round, knocking nine strokes off his first-day score.
Sophomore Alex Fitch cut his first-round total by eight shots, posting a 73 on the final day.
Pacific University junior Max Bonk and Whitworth junior Cameron Whittle finished in a tie for first with total scores of 143. Whittle recorded a spring-low 69 in the first round that propelled him to an early second-spot placement.
Junior Brynn Hurdus earned third-place honors in Yakima, Wash., leading the women's team to a third-place finish.
The Wildcats sat in fourth place after the first day of action with a 343, paced by sophomore Sophie Corr, who fired a first-round second-best 80. The second day, however, was rocky for Corr, as she recorded a 94 that sank her to 15th place.
Linfield remained consistent on the final day with a 345 overall score, as the University of Puget Sound fell out of the top three following a 357 second round – 20 strokes higher than the first-day total.
Hurdus and senior Brittany Johnston carried the Wildcats to a third-place finish, carding scores of 80 and 81, respectively. Johnston improved her first-round score by seven strokes and finished in sixth place.
George Fox University claimed the top spot not only in the team event, but also individually. Bruin junior Brianna Nap tallied a plus-17 161, edging out Whitworth freshman Emily Travis by one shot.
The Linfield men's team seeks its third-straight conference title at the NWC Championships in Portland on April 24, while the women aim for their first NWC championship since 2003 in Portland on the same date.

As you all know, Lin has changed his agent to Willam and Connolly started by Bartnett.
Here's the story of the lawyer.
Why did Lin wait so long to switch to Tanner?
Why did Lin switch to a LAW firm instead of a by commission agency?
Because the deal with NY is going south.
Lin wants max contract, but Dolan doesn't want to pay it. In fact Dolan is stalling for time. He's using the Novak/Lin Waived Rights trial to stall for time. He is not ready to commit now even though it's almost draft time, and the talks for LIn's services are rapidly approaching a close. AFter all, if you retain Lin, you don't need Lillard or Dion Waiters, you can go for say, my mother. That's a joke.
It's safe to say that Montgomery couldn't force Dolan to commit, and the Waived Rights trial might be scaring prospective customers.
Enter Willaim and Connoly--they made their name on contract negotiations.
My prediction, within the next 3 days we'll see either Lin with a back loaded contract playing for Toronto or Lin with a back loaded contract playing for New York.
Nostradamus OUT!

Posted the trailer to this about 3 weeks ago... Johnny English Reborn, a sequel to the 2003 film Johnny English, which stars Rowan Atkinson in what is essentially a 007 spoof.
This sequel, which opens in the UK on October 7th, and in the USA on October 28th, co-stars Daniel Kaluuya (a 2009 S&A and Screen International UK star of tomorrow), as Atkinson's (English's) side-kick Tucker.
Kaluuya didn't feature much in the trailer (a couple of shots, but he doesn't say anything in them), though I'm told his role is much larger than the trailer shows... but he's still the sidekick, so don't expect anything more than what that title typically entails.
In the newly released clip below, we actually see a lot more of him in this single scene, than we do in the entire trailer :)
Anywho... it's not a film on my "to-see" list. Never really been much of a Rowan Atkinson fan. Just not my kind of humor. I can only tolerate him in doses. I didn't see the first Johnny English movie, which was released stateside in 2003; and while it managed just over $28 million in US box office, it raked in over $130 million internationally. So, clearly there's an audience out there for it - particularly in Europe, which shouldn't be a big surprise. But I might check it out as a rental, if only to see Kaluuya's performance in it; I haven't had the pleasure of seeing him in very much.
Here's the clip (underneath it is the trailer if you haven't already seen it:

Oh hey he was on Skins! I love to see that he's doing comedy. I think it suits him better than the forced and constant drama on Skins. He worte for them too I believe. Making moves!
Jasmia | September 11, 2011 8:32 AM
Even Ellen Thomas is in it. There are a few black brit actors/actresses in it to the best of my knowledge and it was directed by Ol Parker aka husband of Thandie Newton.
Kelea | September 10, 2011 7:23 AM
Also I'm a fan of Mr. Bean and Rowan in general you could say, but I've never seen the first Johnny English.
Kelea | September 10, 2011 7:21 AM
Funny, I was just looking up Daniel Kaluuya to see what he had been up to lately. He's a very talented young man, well spoken, and handsome too! Hope nothing but good things come his way.
This is not the only coincedence, maybe someone has been tracking my google searches recently. Haha.

I have a sort of off topic question that relates to upgrading systems.
Say I download SSB3D, and then buy a limited edition Smash Bros 3DS with Smash 3D preinstalled on it. What happens when two identical retail download games are on the same system?
I hope this makes sense to someone.

I have a sort of off topic question that relates to upgrading systems.
@CanisWolfred @James replied to everyone who asked about him in the previous article. As of that post, he still has his job.
Also you asked me a while ago why I thought AA Trilogy would be 20, not 30 dollars, I thought that because I thought I heard/read during E3 the price would be $20.
His body was ready.
I voted for the Samus 3DS screenshot because of Brinstar.
I remember carrying a Pokemon Monopoly out of school for a friend, so I will just play it at his house if I want to play through Pokemon Monopoly.
I know this has already been said, but @ThomasBW84, the link in the last paragraph doesn't work, its still in its [url= form
I'll be dissapointed if the CPP isn't compatable.
Time to go to Seattle
I imagine we are in for several system updates.
Maybe Roy now has a chance at returning to Smash?
Just don't send in the Fisa-Mech.
@Prof_Clayton I'm shocked you got the SEGA reference.
@3DSfan134 I know, I own it, and RE:R.
I'm disappointed, the game didn't hit the max file size of 4GB, ~25,000 blocks.
Willing to attempt to collect an entire NA collection, just to say I did it.
They ruined Shadow's loner image by adding smile to his face, and Metal Sonic is suffering from the same long leg syndrome as Sonic, which sadly should match up because of Metal being a robot match to Sonic.
Man, Europe is getting all of the goodies today.
I obviously shouldn't read NL right when I wake up. I read the article title as if there was a New Super Smash Bros. game, akin to the New Super Mario Bros. games.
I offer my condolences to Mr. William's family and friends.
Wow, when I first heard of the 3DS, that was pretty much what I expected to see, except no circle pad and this was the only control on the left side. And the joystick folded into the system.
He was 006, correct?
Why is it a special Pokeball? It looks just like a regular Pokeball to me.
While it is my opinion that Renegade Kid works on one too many games at once, I will pay attention to this game.
You have no idea how hopeful I became that a new Sonic stage was announced when you said Special Ring.
Where's Snake Eater?
Tom Kalinske, hero to Sega of America.
I'd spend twenty dollars on this, anything else, and I'll just wait for a sale.
Hold It! I thought this was going to be $20, not $30. While I will still buy it, I am a bit annoyed at the price.
Still missing Snake Eater in the states.
I'm trying to be excited, but Lost World 3DS left such a foul taste in my mouth, I only want to play 2D Genesis Sonic games right now.
I know I'm being harsh on Dimps and that I shouldn't be harsh on this dev as well without good reason, but Dimps has made me not want another 3DS Sonic game. I hope Shattered Crystal is as close to the Genesis games as they said, because I am not excited right now.
SEGA fan to the heart, for better or worse.
If a game is ported that was Genesis, instabuy.
I can't believe you made me choose between 3D Sonic and Kid Icarus: Uprising
Since I haven't seen you before, welcome to NintendoLife @Karen_Halloran
I'll just keep my CPP then upgrade to a CPPXL when I get an XL.
Does the acceleration rule of 3.00 to 4.00 and nothing in between apply to MK7?
Where's Snake Eater 3D?
@Prof_Clayton With Dark Pit's different personality and most likely slightly more agressive fighting style I hope that means Dark Pit is in, not an alt skin.
Wishlist, need the funds.
Well this sucks. I wanted retail downloads, but only 1 or 2 total.
@Mus1cLov3r Happy Birthday!
Seriously Konami, where is Snake Eater 3D!!!
I'm suprised that most of you guys don't know this, but at E3, Nintendo reps actually said their would be more female zelda reps than male.
While I haven't tested it, I was surprised that there was a version of Action Replay for 3DS. I was shocked because these weren't supposed to work anymore on Nintendo consoles.
Upon closer examination. you plug the cartridges into a USB converter and add all of the codes in via a computer. I lost whatever faith I had left in GameFreak being able to regulate cheats from non cheats.

Blackwell's sells ancient book for record £75,000
Updated 8:38pm Wednesday 9th April 2014 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
BLACKWELL'S bookshop has sold its most expensive book for £75,000.
The 1513 complete works of Plato was sold earlier today to an un-named overseas institution from the shop's rare books catalogue.
The two-volume work, published in Venice, was the first ever edition of the philosopher's works in their original ancient Greek.
Blackwell's antiquarian book seller Andrew Hunter said the book was at one time owned by an American collector, and was sold at an auction in New York on his death.
The Oxford bookshop in Broad Street, founded in 1879, had since bought it from the buyer.

It's less than two months into the new year and Birmingham has already had six fire-related fatalities.
"Anytime we have one, that is too many. It's always going to be a concern," Birmingham Fire Battalion Chief C.W. Mardis said.
The Birmingham Fire Department has been pushing a safety program for 10 years called "Get Alarm Birmingham," which aims to put smoke alarms in people's houses. The fire department will offer up to two free alarms for households.
"Most of the fatalities we have had we have determined many don't have [smoke] detectors. A vast majority of them ultimately," Mardis said.
The fire department recommends these safety tips:
-First install, smoke alarms on every level of your home.
-Test at least once monthly.
-Install high on the wall or ceiling.
-Don't forget to replace batteries at once a year. Replace hard-wired smoke alarms after 10 years or sooner.
"We do advise you have both [battery and hard-wired] systems. You could never tell what can happen. Power could go out, things of that nature. So you have to have a back-up system. We recommend both." Mardis said.
Finally a big safety tip: Practice with your family how to get out of the home in the case of a fire.
"Have two ways to get out whether it's a door or a window. Too many times people failed go out a window. They try to reach a door and die at the door, pass two or three windows," Mardis said.
Space heaters are another safety concern when it comes to preventing fires. Fire investigators believe a space heater is responsible for a 74-year-old man's death on Delta Street Wednesday.
The Birmingham Fire Department recommends caution when dealing with space heaters.
"We just got to remind people space heaters do need space, at least three feet all the way around. Don't use extension cords for space heaters and the space heater is only a temporary source of heat," Lt. Bryan Harrell said.
Harrel said space heaters should not be used for an extended period of time and certainly not overnight while you sleep.
Other tips: Check periodically for a secured plug outlet. Heaters should be on a flat level surface. If it's a liquid powered space heater, use the manufacture's amount and never use gasoline.
With more cold weather on the way, the fire department believes more deaths could occur.
"We do think it's the weather and we want to get the message out, awareness and space heater safety," Harrell said.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates more than 25,000 residential fires every year in the nation taking more than 300 deaths.
If you are a Birmingham resident interested in getting a smoke detector, please contact the Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service Department's Fire Prevention Bureau at 250-7540 or call the Department's Public Education Bureau at 250-7525.

EBG Successes
In the mid-1990s, on behalf of the Indiana Medical Device Manufacturers Council and about a dozen large trade associations representing virtually every industry the FDA regulates, EBG attorneys advocated that FDA should improve its guidance development process to enhance the quality and reliability of guidance, as well as to better ensure public participation. EBG's advocacy resulted in the so-called FDA Good Guidance Practices, now embraced by other federal agencies as well.
On behalf of the coalition of trade associations and individual companies, EBG attorneys successfully sought to have responsibility for administering the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 moved from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the FDA, and to have legislative amendments designed to clarify the waived category passed.
For a large medical device manufacturer, EBG attorneys conducted a series of internal investigations that identified areas of noncompliance and guided the company toward practical remediations.

Submicron organic thin-film transistors fabricated by film profile engineering method105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892404View Description Hide Description
In this work, we explore and demonstrate the feasibility of a film profile engineering (FPE) concept in fabricating pentacene-based organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) with submicron channel length. The FPE scheme utilizes a suspended bridge built on the wafer and the specific deposition conditions to form thin films with desirable profiles. In order to form a continuous pentacene channel under the bridge, the background pressure of thermal evaporator is adjusted by pumping down the filling N2 to a specific level. The results show that, by setting the deposition pressure at 3 mtorr, functional operations of OTFTs with channel length ranging from 0.4 to 0.6 μm are obtained.
Low-voltage and hysteresis-free organic thin-film transistors employing solution-processed hybrid bilayer gate dielectrics105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892005View Description Hide Description
This study presents a promising approach to realize low-voltage (<3 V) organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) exhibiting improved electrical and optical stability. Such device performance results from the use of solution-processed hybrid bilayer gate dielectrics consisting of zirconium dioxide (high-k dielectric) and amorphous fluoropolymer, CYTOP® (low-k dielectric). Employing a very thin amorphous fluoropolymer film reduces interfacial defect-states by repelling water molecules and other aqueous chemicals from an organic semiconductor active layer due to the hydrophobic surface-property. The chemically clean interface, stemming from decrease in density of trap states improves all the key device properties such as field-effect mobility, threshold voltage, and sub-threshold swing. Furthermore, degradation by electrical bias-stress and photo-induced hysteresis were suppressed in OTFTs employing hybrid bilayer gate dielectrics.
The action mechanism of TiO2:NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ cathode buffer layer in highly efficient inverted organic solar cells105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892472View Description Hide Description
We report the fabrication and characteristics of organic solar cells with 6.86% power conversion efficiency (PCE) by doping NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ into TiO2 cathode buffer layer. The dependence of devices performance on doping concentration of NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ is investigated. Results indicate that short-circuit current density (Jsc ) has an apparent improvement, leading to an enhancement of 22.7% in PCE for the optimized doping concentration of 0.05 mmol ml−1 compared to the control devices. NaYF4:Yb3+,Tm3+ nanoparticles (NPs) can play threefold roles, one is that the incident light in visible region can be scattered by NaYF4 NPs, the second is that solar irradiation in infrared region can be better utilized by Up-conversion effect of Yb3+ and Tm3+ ions, the third is that electron transport property in TiO2 thin film can be greatly improved.
Long-term stable water vapor permeation barrier properties of SiN/SiCN/SiN nanolaminated multilayers grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition at extremely low pressures105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892354View Description Hide Description
We investigated the water vapor permeation barrier properties of 30-nm-thick SiN/SiCN/SiN nanolaminated multilayer structures grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition at 7 mTorr. The derived water vapor transmission rate was 1.12 × 10−6 g/(m2 day) at 85 °C and 85% relative humidity, and this value was maintained up to 15 000 h of aging time. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the nanolaminated film was composed of an amorphous phase. A mixed phase was observed upon performing high resolution transmission electron microscope analysis, which indicated that a thermodynamically stable structure was formed. It was revealed amorphous SiN/SiCN/SiN multilayer structures that are free from intermixed interface defects effectively block water vapor permeation into active layer.
Fluorescence excitation enhancement by Bloch surface wave in all-polymer one-dimensional photonic structure105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892423View Description Hide Description
We demonstrate photoluminescence excitation enhancement in an all-polymer flexible one-dimensional photonic crystal structure capped with a fluorescent organic ultrathin film. When optical matching conditions between the excitation beam and the Bloch Surface Wave mode supported by the photonic structure are achieved, a ten times enhancement of the photoluminescence is observed. We notice that in these systems luminescence signal reinforcement is achieved by increasing the pump efficiency with no need of spectral resonance to the emission of the chosen fluorophore. All these features make these systems suitable candidates for easy, flexible, and cheap fluorescent sensing.
Detecting luminescence from triplet states of organic semiconductors at room temperatures using delayed electroluminescence spectroscopy105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892920View Description Hide Description
We demonstrate a unique approach for detecting luminescence from triplet states of organic materials in the solid state at room temperatures. The technique is based on measuring delayed electroluminescence from the material. The approach overcomes limitations of conventional spectroscopic techniques, such as the need for cooling to cryogenic temperatures, and works for a wide range of organic materials. The underlying mechanisms behind observing materials phosphorescence using this technique are studied. The results show that using a low concentration of the target material doped in a host material and a large energy differences between triplet states of target and host materials are necessary for obtaining efficient phosphorescence at room temperatures.
A low-temperature processed environment-friendly full-organic carrier collection layer for polymer solar cells105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892831View Description Hide Description
We constructed a concept of the full-organic carrier collection layer (CCL) used for polymer solar cells. The CCL is composed of dipyrazino[2,3-f:2′,3′-h]quinoxaline-2,3,6,7,10,11-hexacarbonitrile as hole collection layer (HCL) and chlorine-free solvents (formic acid (FA)) processed 4,7-Diphenyl-1,10-phenanthroline (Bphen) as electron collection layer, exhibiting good solubility, and environmental protection. The FA based device shows ideal power conversion efficiency (3.75%), which is higher than that of control device (3.6%). Besides, the HCL shows a different mechanism in hole extraction by functioning as a charge recombination zone for electrons injected from anode and holes extracted from the donor materials.
Molecular doping and tuning threshold voltage in 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene/polymer blend transistors105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892809View Description Hide Description
Precise control of the electrical characteristics of organic field-effect transistors is essential for their use in integrated circuits. In addition to the mobility, the threshold voltage, Vth, is a key parameter to control for proper circuit operation. In this work, we demonstrate the controlled tuning of Vth of solution-processed, small-molecule, organic semiconductor transistors via molecular doping of the solution at multiple different doping levels.
Junction capacitance and donor-acceptor interface of organic photovoltaics105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892963View Description Hide Description
To obtain quantitative information of the bicontinuous interface between the donors and acceptors (D/A), the junction capacitance of various organic photovoltaic (OPV) structures was measured by direct current biased impedance spectroscopy, without breaking the vacuum after device fabrication. A correlation between the extracted interfacial area and power conversion efficiency (PCE) was established for bilayer and bulk heterojunction OPVs. The latter was analyzed by two opposite models, one of which follows the same trend as the bilayer, such that the PCE increases with the enlarged interface. However, the increase is much less than expected, which may be caused by the loose D/A domains, "wasted" due to the poor electrical connection. The finding provides not only a better understanding of the device structure but also an opportunity for the further research of the structure-performance relationship of OPVs.
High performance organic integrated device with ultraviolet photodetective and electroluminescent properties consisting of a charge-transfer-featured naphthalimide derivative105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893154View Description Hide Description
A high performance organic integrated device (OID) with ultraviolet photodetective and electroluminescent (EL) properties was fabricated by using a charge-transfer-featured naphthalimide derivative of 6-{3,5-bis-[9-(4-t-butylphenyl)-9H-carbazol-3-yl]-phenoxy}-2-(4-t-butylphenyl)-benzo[de]isoquinoline-1,3-dione (CzPhONI) as the active layer. The results showed that the OID had a high detectivity of 1.5 × 1011 Jones at −3 V under the UV-350 nm illumination with an intensity of 0.6 mW/cm2, and yielded an exciplex EL light emission with a maximum brightness of 1437 cd/m2. Based on the energy band diagram, both the charge transfer feature of CzPhONI and matched energy level alignment were responsible for the dual ultraviolet photodetective and EL functions of OID.
Electrodeposited cobalt sulfide hole collecting layer for polymer solar cells105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4892845View Description Hide Description
In polymer solar cells based on the blend of regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester, the hole collecting layer has to be endowed with its ionization potential close to or greater than that of P3HT (∼5 eV). Conductive polymer blends such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) and metal oxides such as vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) and molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) satisfy this requirement and have been the most common materials used so far in bulk heterojunction structures. We report here cobalt sulfide (CoS) to be a promising hole collecting material deposited by convenient and room temperature electrodeposition. By simply tuning the CoS electrodeposition parameters, power conversion efficiencies similar (within 15%) to a reference structure with PEDOT:PSS were obtained.
Efficient organic light-emitting diodes fabricated on cellulose nanocrystal substrates105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4891046View Description Hide Description
Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) fabricated on recyclable and biodegradable substrates are a step towards the realization of a sustainable OLED technology. We report on efficient OLEDs with an inverted top-emitting architecture on recyclable cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) substrates. The OLEDs have a bottom cathode of Al/LiF deposited on a 400 nm thick N,N′-Di-[(1-naphthyl)-N,N′-diphenyl]-(1,1′-biphenyl)-4,4′-diamine (α-NPD) layer and a top anode of Au/MoO3. They achieve a maximum luminance of 74 591 cd/m2 with a current efficacy of 53.7 cd/A at a luminance of 100 cd/m2 and 41.7 cd/A at 1000 cd/m2. It is shown that the α-NPD layer on the CNC substrate is necessary for achieving high performance OLEDs. The electroluminescent spectra of the OLEDs as a function of viewing angle are presented and show that the OLED spectra are subject to microcavity effects.
Highly efficient organic multi-junction solar cells with a thiophene based donor material105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893012View Description Hide Description
The efficiency of organic solar cells can be increased by serial stacked subcells even upon using the same absorber material. For the multi-junction devices presented here, we use the small molecule donor material DCV5T-Me. The subcell currents were matched by optical transfer matrix simulation, allowing an efficiency increase from 8.3% for a single junction up to 9.7% for a triple junction cell. The external quantum efficiency of the subcells, measured under appropriate light bias illumination, is spectrally shifted due to the microcavity of the complete stack, resulting in a broadband response and an increased cell current. The increase of the power conversion efficiency upon device stacking is even stronger for large area cells due to higher influence of the resistance of the indium tin oxide anode, emphasizing the advantage of multi-junction devices for large-area applications.
Analysis of carrier transport and carrier trapping in organic diodes with polyimide-6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene double-layer by charge modulation spectroscopy and optical second harmonic generation measurement105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893760View Description Hide Description
We studied the carrier transport and carrier trapping in indium tin oxide/polyimide (PI)/6,13-Bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl)pentacene (TIPS-pentacene)/Au diodes by using charge modulation spectroscopy (CMS) and time-resolved electric field induced optical second harmonic generation (TR-EFISHG) measurements. TR-EFISHG directly probes the spatial carrier behaviors in the diodes, and CMS is useful in explaining the carrier motion with respect to energy. The results clearly indicate that the injected carriers move across TIPS-pentacene thorough the molecular energy states of TIPS-pentacene and accumulate at the PI/TIPS-pentacene interface. However, some carriers are trapped in the PI layers. These findings take into account the capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics of the diodes.
Thermal diffusivities of functionalized pentacene semiconductors105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4894094View Description Hide Description
We have measured the interlayer and in-plane (needle axis) thermal diffusivity of 6,13-bis(triisopropylsilylethynyl) pentacene. The needle axis value is comparable to the phonon thermal diffusivities of quasi-one dimensional organic metals with excellent π-orbital overlap, and its value suggests that a significant fraction of heat is carried by optical phonons. Furthermore, the interlayer (c-axis) thermal diffusivity is at least an order of magnitude larger, and this unusual anisotropy implies very strong dispersion of optical modes in the interlayer direction, presumably due to interactions between the silyl-containing side groups. Similar values for both in-plane and interlayer diffusivities have been observed for several other functionalized pentacene semiconductors with related structures.
Electrically tunable organic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893758View Description Hide Description
An electrically tunable organic vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) is demonstrated and characterized. A lasing wavelength tunability of Δλ = 10 nm with 6 V actuation is shown for a red laser emission tuned between λ = 637 nm and λ = 628 nm. Wavelength tuning of the VCSEL structure is enabled by electrostatic deflection of a reflective flexible membrane that is suspended over an air gap and a dielectric mirror, forming a 3λ lasing cavity. The lasing gain medium consists of an evaporated organic thin film coated on a reflective membrane, which is then additively placed over a patterned substrate containing the dielectric mirror to fabricate an array of air-gap-VCSEL structures, each 100 μm in diameter. Beyond the electrostatic actuation of these tunable lasers, the VCSEL array geometry also has the potential to be used as pressure sensors with an all-optical remote excitation and readout and a pressure sensitivity of 64 Pa/nm in the demonstrated configuration.
Graphene oxide hole transport layers for large area, high efficiency organic solar cells105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893787View Description Hide Description
Graphene oxide (GO) is becoming increasingly popular for organic electronic applications. We present large active area (0.64 cm2), solution processable, poly[[9-(1-octylnonyl)-9H-carbazole-2,7-diyl]-2,5-thiophenediyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole-4,7-diyl-2,5-thiophenediyl]:[6,6]-Phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PCDTBT:PC70BM) organic photovoltaic (OPV) solar cells, incorporating GO hole transport layers (HTL). The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ∼5% is the highest reported for OPV using this architecture. A comparative study of solution-processable devices has been undertaken to benchmark GO OPV performance with poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) HTL devices, confirming the viability of GO devices, with comparable PCEs, suitable as high chemical and thermal stability replacements for PEDOT:PSS in OPV.
A straightforward electro-optic polymer covered titanium dioxide strip line modulator with a low driving voltage105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893925View Description Hide Description
An electro-optic (EO) modulator composed of an EO polymer/titanium dioxide (TiO2) hybrid waveguide has been designed and fabricated. By using a TiO2 strip line (0.3 × 0.3 μm2 cross-section) as the core, the confinement factor in the EO polymer is optimized, thus achieving a high EO activity. The coplanar electrode spacing is tuned to enable an effective poling and a small propagation loss. The measured in-device EO coefficient is 100 pm/V at 1550 nm, with a driving voltage (V π) 3.2 V for the 12 mm-electrode length. The results also predict a possible V π of ∼1 V in a push-pull MZI structure. The EO activity of the modulator exhibited an excellent temporal stability at 85 °C for 500 h due to the high glass transition temperature of the EO polymer and the temperature-insensitive TiO2 strip line.
Improving charge transport property and energy transfer with carbon quantum dots in inverted polymer solar cells105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4893994View Description Hide Description
Carbon quantum dots (Cdots) are synthesized by a simple method and introduced into active layer of polymer solar cells (PSCs). The performance of doped devices was apparently improved, and the highest power conversion efficiency of 7.05% was obtained, corresponding to a 28.2% enhancement compared with that of the contrast device. The charge transport properties, resistance, impedance, and transient absorption spectrum are systematically investigated to explore how the Cdots affect on PSCs performance. This study reveals the importance of Cdots in enhancing the efficiency of PSCs and gives insight into the mechanism of charge transport improvement.
Highly stable and efficient tandem organic light-emitting devices with intermediate connectors using lithium amide as n-type dopant105(2014); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4894096View Description Hide Description
In this work, we report thermally decomposable lithium amide (LiNH2) feasible to function as an effective n-type dopant for intermediate connectors in tandem organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). Metallic lithium, which is released from the decomposition process of LiNH2, is proved by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and responsible for n-type electrical doping of electron transporting materials. We demonstrate that tandem OLEDs using LiNH2 and Cs2CO3 as n-type dopants, respectively, give a comparable electroluminescence efficiency and, moreover, the device with LiNH2 has far longer operational lifetime. The results therefore highlight the significance of selecting suitable n-type dopant in intermediate connectors to fabricate high-stability tandem OLEDs.

it is within taka itself @ ground level if i am not wrong
Looked around Taka for the boutique but didn't find it... Didn't see it listed on the directory either. Can anyone tell me where it is? TIA!
it is within taka itself @ ground level if i am not wrong
2nd floor, besides Gucci. Opposite Hermes
yeah i think they moved to the 2nd floor sometime this yr. used to be on the first floor at the entrance of taka (where coach now occupies the space)
i kinda thot they had pricey stuff but maybe i should check out their shoes cos i always have problems finding shoes of my size from places like nine west. their size 8 is too small for me..
so hopefully i might b able to find something of my size there? heheheh. excuses to shop.
There's a boutique at Terminal 1 of Changi Airport too! Tax-free shopping makes parting with my money a whole lot easier!
Oh and to set the record straight, it's pronounces as "Ba.h-li". Like Bali. SA said so!
anyone know the price difference with the bally bags in Hk and SG???
I got a pair of Bally pumps recently but realised they gave me blisters at the back of the heels. Is there any services at Bally that I can look for to prevent those blisters?
i love their bags & guy's shoes...! i have gotten one leather bag, the strap of the bag is black & white!...nice!
their shops are at taka shopping centre, 2nd floor and their latest branch is at Raffles City, ground floor.
Raffles City have one shop. But never go inside~~~
this is 1 of my fave brands, i always love their subtle classic designs!
just sold my brand new wallet, kinda of regret it.
Hi all...i bought this bally biege bag sometime early march. it was nice when admiring at the boutique but when you put stuff in it and see how the flap flips up....ugly isnt it i was so sad about it...wondering what to do with this bag - sell off? modify? pass it on? Then i went to the boutique & asked if i could send this bag in to modify it. The SA told me they have many customers (who bought this bag) going back to them with same complaint. They allowed me to exchange for something else. Phew, at least i can get rid of the bag.
I exchanged for this small handbag. I love the color, the design though size is a bit too small but there's really nothing else in the boutique that i fancy.
Cheryl Poon glad they allow changing! You always buy nice bag!! Congrats!
TheRainbowYiling : hi hi (wave wave) thanks babe . yes, it is good that they allow change of bags. this is my 1st time bought a bag & regret it terribly the moment i carry it
Does Bally handbags ever goes on sale?
I am eyeing the one cheryl bought ( the first beige one but in smaller size, so hopefully the flap don't open up ?)... i love the red one.
If they do go on sale, how much % ?
I just went Bally boutique and asked. They will have sales in June and December. The older products may go as high as 50% discount.
If you really like the beige design, please ensure there are 'handles' at the side of the bag so it doesnt flap up. It is the bigger version that has handles at the side. Mine is the smaller version.
Hope that helps

Head of NSA blasts reporters for 'selling' leaked documents | The Verge
Reporters should be prevented from "selling" National Security Agency documents, Gen. Keith Alexander says in a videotaped interview with Department of Defense blog Armed With Science. In a discussion designed to reassure the American public that its government is not spying on them, the NSA chief calls for an end to the publication of documents leaked by former contractor Edward Snowden. "I think it's wrong that that newspaper reporters have all these documents, the 50,000-whatever they have and are selling them and giving them out as if these — you know it just doesn't make sense," Alexander said. "We ought to come up with a way of stopping it. I don't know how to do that. That's more of the courts and the policymakers but, from my perspective, it's wrong to allow this to go on"

Exotic dancer accused of human smuggling after AZ traffic stop – CBS 5 – KPHO
An exotic dancer from Tucson has been booked into jail on six counts of human smuggling, the Pinal County Sheriff's Office said.
Maria Bustamante, 33, was carrying $1,000 at the time of her arrest Friday night, PCSO said.
A deputy pulled her over for several traffic violations on Interstate 10 near Milepost 216 and discovered six men inside.
Bustamante identified her passengers as friends, but when questioned, she could not provide the names of any of the people, PCSO said.
The six men were asked where they were headed and one of them said California, sheriff's investigators said. When asked if they were U.S. citizens all of the men shook their heads and said "no."

Are cardboard cut-outs the traffic officers of the future? | Metro News
A traffic officer that works 24 hours a day and never gets tired may sound like something from the future but it actually exists today, in the form a cardboard cut-out in India.
The new type of low-tech policeman can be found in Bangalore and from early reports is sounds like they're doing one heck of a job.
'Impact has been quite good. A lot of people when they see from a little distance, they immediately turn back,' additional commissioner of police Dr MA Saleem said.
'In fact one auto driver was found talking to that person.'
The move comes after an increase in the number of deaths on the roads of the Indian city.
Authorities faced the daunting task of having to find and extra 3,000 traffic cops to police the 8.5million population.
But instead they came up with the clever (or very silly) idea of stationing a life-size cardboard police officer on some of the most hectic roads.

Snow escape for Whitnash shop robbers | Leamington Observer
FOOTPRINTS in the snow led to six people being arrested following a robbery at a Whitnash shop last weekend.
Members of staff at the One Stop convenience store on Heathcote Road were threatened by two men who stole money, stamps and lottery scratchcards shortly after 7.30am on Saturday (March 23).
But police officers attended the scene and were able to follow footprints in the snow from the store to a block of nearby flats.
Further enquiries led them to attend a second address where four people were arrested and two other suspects were arrested later in the day.
Four suspects appeared before court charged with robbery while two were later released without charge.

Ford Ad Mockups Lead To Firings At JWT In India
The ad agency responsible for the Ford ad mock-ups that caused an uproar last week has fired some of the employees involved.
The website Ads of the World reportedly posted several Ford ad mock-ups online last week, including one depicting former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi with three bound women and another depicting Paris Hilton kidnapping the Kardashian sisters, who were also tied up. The fake ads, which originated in India, sparked outrage in the country, which has been grappling with a series of gang-rape cases and just passed a new anti-rape law.
Ad agency J. Walter Thompson (JWT), the ad agency responsible for the ad mock-ups, told The Huffington Post in a statement Wednesday that it has fired some of its employees in response. Ford spokesman Chris Preuss also confirmed to HuffPost that JWT fired the "employees involved."
"After a thorough internal review, we have taken appropriate disciplinary action with those involved, which included the exit of employees at JWT," Anaka Kobzev, a spokesperson for JWT, said in the statement. "These were necessary steps owing to the direct accountability of the concerned individuals as we work to ensure that both the right oversight and processes are strictly enforced so that this never happens again."
Evan Dorsey: Find crystal meth, rob a dealer and help a stranger: The bizarre criminal checklist that police found on Boston burglar | Mail Online
Boston police found a criminal 'to-do' list on a 25-year-old man whom they arrested for burglary that included 'goals' such as finding crystal meth and coke, getting a gold watch, robbing a drug dealer, selling drugs, and doing one altruistic act for a stranger.
Evan Dorsey, of Weymouth, Mass., was arrested on Friday after allegedly breaking into a home on Manoment Road and stealing insulin from a UPS package.
Police were alerted to Dorsey's activities by neighbors, who called authorities to report that Dorsey had been going door-to-door saying that he was conducting a survey about opening a marijuana dispensary.
At the time of his arrest, Dorsey was carrying about two dozen pieces of jewelry that police presume were stolen, several tools used to pry open doors and a baton-like weapon known as a black jack.

Indiana, PA – Man accused of bagging buck from Walmart parking lot
At the Resort Plaza Walmart, people can save a dollar. And, apparently, waste a buck as well.
By shooting it with a handgun, that is.
Which is why Arcangelo Bianco Jr., 40, finds himself in trouble with the Pennsylvania Game Commission.
According to the commission, Bianco fired several rounds at a hapless white-tailed deer from within the Burrell Township store's parking lot and bagged the animal on the other side of Old William Penn Highway (Old Route 22) one afternoon last November.
The most serious of the charges he faces is a misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment. He also was slapped with five summary offenses, all hunting law violations, including hunting without a license, shooting on or across highways and unlawful killing or taking of big game.
"Obviously, we can't have someone running through a Walmart parking lot shooting at a deer," said Jack Lucas, the wildlife conservation officer who investigated the incident.
But the one thing Bianco does not stand accused of is hunting out of season — the incident reportedly took place on Nov. 26, the first day of antlered deer season with regular firearms.

Original post made by Can't wait on Nov 5, 2011
He is the only employee in town history, I believe, to achieve both honors.
With his intimate understanding of financial matters, experience at Atherton, recognized superb job performance, and tenacity to leave no stone unturned in looking for cost savings and fiscal reforms, there can be no better candidate for Atherton's finance director now that Louise Ho has voluntarily chosen to retire.
I hope Mr. Johns can be persuaded to apply for this job. I also hope the Town does not do anything to violate any of his lawful rights in not considering him for this position because of his prior complaints about police misconduct at Atherton.
Welcome back John!

Is this the SAME John Johns who was so maligned for months by the local lynch mobs?
I admire the man for his honesty and it will be good to know someone around is truly trustworthy.
Did anyone notice the FBI bust of three locals was NEVER mentioned as written two days ago in the San Mateo Mercury News?
Apparently, the FBI has never left town and have private auditors still working away. That is just heresay.

Like Chief Flint and Mr. Danielson, I'm retired. However, I let it be known to Mr. Danielson know that I'd be happy to be of service to the Town once again if called upon.
I know I've alienated some with my harsh criticism of the conduct of certain highly placed elected and appointed officials. However I have learned that the hallmark of trust is being told what what one needs to know rather than what wants to hear.

What three people got busted by the FBI and for what?
on Nov 8, 2011 at 3:03 pm
The San Mateo Mercury News reported that three people were arrested? What news paper is that, I've never heard of it. I've heard of the San Mateo Times and the Mercury News, but never the San Mateo Mercury News.
on Nov 9, 2011 at 6:43 am
Well..............did you notice that the three locals who got arrested for crimes were not reported in our local news?
WHY is it that the Almanac does not cover local criminals being caught in good size busts dealing with politics?
It ALL is going to catch up with the guilty.
Hiding news is as bad a Fox News reporting it.
on Nov 9, 2011 at 7:23 am
Mr. Gordon:
just what newspaper reported these arrests? I'd be interested to read about it. Perhaps the local paper didn't report it because it didn't happen?
on Nov 9, 2011 at 8:15 am
R. Gordon is too busy filming his computer screen while entering Almanac verification codes.
Hint: Codes contain both letters and numbers. Sometimes what appears to be a letter "o" is actually a zero and sometimes what appears to be the letter "l" is actually a one. There is no conspiracy and you're not Mel Gibson. Suck it up and try again... like the rest of us.

The only people arrested by the FBI were 3 San Mateo residents who were part of a 7 person group rigging auctions. None were public employees. Is this part of your "huge investigation" ?

This course covers research methods, statistics and broader research skills. The programmes have been designed to meet the research needs of people regardless of their starting point. There is a choice of two research methods and design modules, one for those with little or no background experience of research and one for people who already have some experience of research, perhaps at undergraduate level.
There is then a choice of modules to select from so that you are able to focus on areas that are of particular interest to you. It is also possible to choose the extent to which you opt to take taught modules and the extent to which you want to focus on a research dissertation by adjusting the balance of credits attributable to each of these components of the programme.
All students will complete the following taught modules and they will also complete a dissertation which will consist of an independent piece of research.
• Research Methods and Design:
Develops the qualitative and quantitative research skills necessary to undertake masters level research
• Research Skills:
Provides experience and understanding of the broader issues associated with the research process such as planning a research project, presenting results, publishing papers and applying for funding. A series of workshops have been designed to meet the criteria specified by the UK Grad Programme Joint Statement of Requirements for Research Students, to ensure graduates have a thorough grounding in all aspects of the research process.
Other modules are then chosen from a list of those available to supplement these modules and the dissertation. The number of optional modules taken depends on the size of the dissertation selected. Students choosing the MRes programme will be able to select 20 credits worth of optional modules, those choosing the MSc Health and Social Science Research can select 70 credits worth of optional modules.
A good honours degree (normally 2.1 or above) in a health or social science subject is normally required. However, applicants with relevant professional experience or qualifications are welcomed and will be considered individually.

I recently bought a second hand computer.I installed a study related software which can be installed on only one computer and it has time restrictions.The computer was having norton internet security which was i think a cracked version because on every day it says 165 days remaining.So i purchased Norton Internet Security 2011,removed the old cracked one,restarted the computer and Installed the new one.It updated itself with about 150MB updates.Now the problem is that,when i click on the Account link on the Home Interface it failes saying "Make sure you can connect to internet and try again,If the problem persist then try again later".My internet connection is working fine and the live updates is working fine too.Also when I click to Support->Get Support,It again says "We are unable to communicate with one of our servers.Would you like us to attempt to correct this problem by releasing and renewing your IP settings?"And for both yes and no options the screen appears again and again.
I can not reinstall my operatiing system due to that study software mentioned before.So please suggest me solution.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi Sheldoncooper,
Welcome to Norton Community!
Did you try rebooting/restarting the computer? If not try that first.
If the problem persists, you can try to flush your DNS and resetting the winsock.
1. Click Start > Run, type ipconfig /flushdns and click OK.
2. Click Start > Run, type cmd and click OK.
3. in the command prompt, type the following and press Enter after each line:
netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt[Enter]
netsh winsock reset [Enter]
exit [Enter]
4. Restart the computer.
The first step didn't worked for me.Can you elaborate it again?
There is Start button in the bottom left corner of your desktop. When you click the Start button, it pops up a menu. From that menu, you need to select Run. Alternatively, you can use Windows button and 'R' button together in your keyboard to bring up the same RUN window.
No.There is a space between ipconfig and the forword slash.I hadn't typed that.Thats why i was getting error from run command.And thanks.This completely solved my problem.
Thanks once again.

Uncovering Europe's best budget hotels since 2001.
Grocery store chains may be your best bets for cutting costs while living in Paris, and they're perfectly fine and dandy for long-term stays, but what if you're visiting for just a week or two? Well then, I say, live it like it's your last!
Visiting one of the finest food capitals of the world, a place chock-full of bountiful "Bon Produits" (specialty shops), all managed by certified gastronomical experts who are more than willing to share their vast wealth of knowledge, is abso-fruga-lute-ly not the time to shop at a chain grocery store in order to save a few centimes.
So take in all those wonderful boulangeries, pâtisseries, chocolatiers, confiseries, glaciers, éspiceries, fromageries, charcuteries, poissonneries, caves, and cafés with a clear conscience. And don't be shy. Ask for recommendations! Ask questions, and in the process you'll take home more than the receipt.
Here's my personal sampling of things to not miss while in France. Cheapos, splurge on!
1. Crème brûlée
Before cracking open this classic beauty, lift the ramekin to your ear, and lightly tap on its hard, caramelized topping with your spoon. Breathe in. Savor the moment.
2. Pain au chocolat
The proper way to eat it is to pinch off teeny morsels with your fingertips to make it last as long as possible. However, I usually peel the individual layers off slowly, thoroughly enjoying each melted chocolate nugget I encounter.
3. Fromage
Big wheels do keep on turning. Like skirts, cheese is seasonal, and the variety is endless. So pace yourself! Start off with the "Cantal jeune." Named after the volcanic peaks of the Cantal mountain range, it's hard to find this one-month-old taste sensation outside of France. Why, even the Sun King gave it his Good Palace-Keeping seal of approval. Also, don't hesitate to ask the fromager for a cheese recommendation based on the wine you just bought down the street. They'll gladly help you out.
4. Baguette
If it's still warm from the oven, do as the locals do and rip a chunk off and pop it in your mouth as soon as you step out of the bakery. I've noticed that males tend to carry their baguettes like caveman clubs, while women usually cradle their bread.
5. Macarons and meringues
The ultimate instant sugar rush—but what-the-hey? You only live once, right? That's what she said. Catherine de Medici's Italian pastry chefs introduced the macaron to France, and Ladurée is credited with its stream-lined modern sandwich-look.
6. Wines
It's perfectly normal to say, "I'm looking for something around five euros to go with [fill in the blank]." Trust me, everyone else is asking the same question. Tip: Caviste Pascal Fauvel at La Cave de Abbesses at 43 rue des Abbesses clearly marks his recommendations with heart-shaped signs that read, "Coup de coeur maison." Others follow suit.
7. French onion soup
Day or night, it's a hot and hearty Cheapo happy meal (sans prizes).
8. Escargots
If you end up loving them (and most people do) then you've made a culinary discovery, and if not, at least you've got a funny story to tell, and everyone will admire your bravery. I usually order my snails bathed in garlic, butter, and herbs in their little spiral shells. Yum!
9. Crêpes
"Je voudrais une banane-chocolat crêpe, s'il vous plaît," is another one of my tickets to paradise.
10. Tarte
Any ole tarte will do as long as it comes from Les Petits Mitrons at 26 rue Lepic in Abbesses, just up the street from the Moulin Rouge, and kitty-corner from the café featured in the film "Amélie." You can also buy your pie by the slice!
11. A drink in Parisian café
If you visit Paris and miss out on this experience, Cheapos, we are no longer friends. Yes! Your alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks will cost a little more than in a grocery store, but the upside is that you'll be given courtside seats to people watching, and you can stay as long as you like.
12. At least one article of clothing
For the simple love of bragging rights, do pick up a scarf, shirt, or slacks. Then, for years to come you'll be able to say, "Oh, this old thing? I picked it up in Paris years ago!"
Cheapos, do you have a favorite French treat? Do tell!
How about a fallafel from L'As du Fallafel?
The beauty of france is that even if you buy cheap wine, it's still good!
what would you never buy in paris?
Hey Matt,
You might be right, but I am not so sure.
A few years ago I was sitting at Café Le Petit Pont. Some light jazz was playing in the background and I had a magnificent view of the towers of Notre Dame, lit up at night with a glimmering reflection off the Seine.
I was drinking an amazing glass of red wine, just enjoying myself. The next day I went over to the wine store and picked up a few bottles of the same wine to bring home.
In my living room, with a stunning view Route 24, sparkling traffic lights, and honking horns, I opened up a bottle of the same inexpensive wine I had in Paris. It almost had to spit it out.
When I went back to Paris and told wine shopkeeper that his wine was bad, he told me it had nothing to do with "bad" wine. Anything will taste good sitting in a cafe while enjoying a beautiful Parisian vista. It just won't taste the same in your living room.
My favorite splurge is sitting at the sidewalk tables, outside Cafe de Flore, drinking hot chocolate that's like melted French candy bars. Actually, it's sitting in any Parisian sidewalk cafe watching the world go by.
I couldn't agree more.
There are times to economize and times to splurge. And while the exact splurges will be different for different people (I can pass up escargot, but would rather die than not have my wine and frommage), it is those moments that I remember years later!

In an article on its website posted earlier today, WWE is now reporting that Fandango suffered a concussion during his match with Zack Ryder on Friday Night SmackDown last week and his status for the upcoming Payback pay-per-view (PPV) this Sunday night (June 16, 2013) in Chicago is now in doubt.
From the report:
Fandango did not compete at any WWE Live Events throughout the weekend, and there is speculation backstage at the Richmond Coliseum - the site of tonight's Raw - as to how this will affect the scheduled Intercontinental Championship Triple Threat Match at WWE Payback this Sunday pitting the dancing Superstar and The Miz against reigning titleholder Wade Barrett.
At a glance, this seems to be more along the lines of Triple H's concussion than Dolph Ziggler's. In fact, it screams "kayfabe," dripping with it all throughout.
For starters, it references SmackDown on Friday, as opposed to the date it was taped on, that being last Tuesday. For that matter, we would have heard about it by now if it was a legitimate concussion, seeing as Ziggler had his reported on immediately after it happened, with WWE fully acknowledging SmackDown being a taped show and his getting hurt on a Tuesday night.
Here's the match in question:
Smells like an angle, Cagesiders. But what's the point with Triple H already involved in one just like it?
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: The original article was quickly changed to reflect a far more realistic view on the injury:
WWE.com sources have reported that Fandango suffered a concussion during the SmackDown taping on Tuesday night and was pulled from WWE Live Events throughout the week.
Fandango passed his impact test, but has yet to pass further testing needed for clearance.
When it was first posted, the article was written to reflect kayfabe but the updated post certainly makes it sound like Fandango legitimately got hurt. From watching the match, it's difficult to see exactly where, though.

It appears that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva doesn't agree with what his manager has to say regarding his "impending" retirement. Ed Soares had made some waves a few weeks ago by saying that Anderson is 36 and will probably retire after four more fights. When asked about it, Anderson sang a completely different tune to UOL (translation by Tom Mendes):
It's not true. As one of my trainer's say, I still have a lot of bottles to sell. I think I will still fight for another six to seven years. Four years ago I was a bit stressed. I had mentioned to my teacher Minotauro that I would stop after a year. He said there was no reason to do so, and then I stopped thinking about it, had another fight and so I thought; "I will postpone my retirement for some time".
It's be fine (to fight until 43). Randy Couture stopped when he was over 45 years old, Dan Henderson was the Strikefore Champion close to that age.
This is the second time in recent weeks that Anderson has publicly rebuked his manager. After Black House posted a photo featuring Soares and Chael Sonnen on their page, Anderson decided to share his feelings:
"I didn't like this photograph either. I take this opportunity to say that only I myself can speak about my fights, my plans and career."
Soares has been the sole mouthpiece for Silva for a long time, and it's interesting to see Anderson firing back like this. In terms of retirement, Anderson certainly doesn't look like a man that's slowing down or is inching towards retirement, and I always found the "four fights" stuff by Soares to be strange. Will we see Anderson fighting for the next seven years? I doubt it. But I think it will be for a whole lot longer than four more fights, and that's a good thing for UFC fans.

Generally we break these things down fight-by-fight, but for this event we're going to do one primer for the whole undercard. There are a lot of fighters that you might not immediately recognize, so we'll provide a little background info on each, and break down the matchups a bit. For a much more thorough breakdown of each of these fights, you can check out Dallas Winston's awesome undercard dissections here and here. There will also be primers covering the flyweight tournament and other main card fight, and one for the main event.
The preliminary card features bouts at 145, 170, 185, 205, and heavyweight. The most well-known face fighting early is Cole Miller, a TUF 5 contestant with 10 UFC fights under his belt. There is also smattering of Australian/Kiwi talent (Kyle Noke, James Te Huna, Anthony Perosh) since the event is taking place in Australia. Six of the seven preliminary card fights will air on Fuel TV, with the heavyweight fight leading off things on Facebook. The one Facebook fight will begin at approximately 5:30 p.m. ET/2:30 p.m. PT, and the Fuel portion of the card will kick off at 6 p.m.ET/3 p.m. PT. Here's quick rundown of the all the scheduled fights.
UFC on FX 2 Preliminary Card Dissections
Fuel TV Prelims Part One | Fuel TV Prelims Part Two
James Te Huna (13-5, 2-1 UFC) vs. Aaron Rosa (17-4, 1-1 UFC)
Te Huna, a native New Zealander who trains in Australia, has picked up wins over Igor Pokrajac and Ricardo Romero (both by TKO), in the UFC, losing just once to Alexander Gustafsson by submission. He has only gone the distance once in 18 fights, and hits very hard. His biggest weakness is likely on the ground. Rosa is a Strikeforce veteran that has floated between heavyweight and light heavyweight. He dropped his first fight in the UFC at heayweight to Joey Beltran by TKO, but rebounded back at 205 by picking up a decision win over Matt Lucas. He'll look to employ his three-inch reach advantage and superior skills on the ground to gain a victory over Te Huna.
Anthony Perosh (12-6, 2-3 UFC) vs. Nick Penner (11-1, 0-0 UFC)
Anthony "The Hippo" Perosh is a 39-year-old Aussie with excellent submission skills. He made his UFC debut on short notice at heavyweight against friend Mirko Filipovic, losing by TKO. He rebounded with two straight submission wins over Tom Blackledge and Cyrille Diabate. His standup is average at best, but he'll be looking to take it to the ground right away. Penner is a 31-year-old Canadian making his UFC debut. He's generally a standup fighter, but has a purple belt in BJJ. He is currently on an eight-fight win streak.
Cole Miller (18-5, 7-3 UFC) vs. Steven Siler (19-9, 1-0 UFC)
Cole "Magrinho" Miller was a contestant on The Ultimate Fighter 5 and has been in the UFC for almost five years now. Known for his grappling, Miller has picked up three submission of the night bonuses in his UFC tenure. He will make his UFC featherweight debut (he fought at 145 before entering the UFC) in this bout. Siler was a contestant on TUF 14, and is best known for submitting Cole's brother Micah Miller to get into the house. He made the semi-finals, but was eliminated by eventual winner Diego Brandao. Siler won his only UFC fight to date over Josh Clopton by unanimous decision. Both guys are very tall for 145, and this should be a good grappling match.
More prelim fights after the jump.
SBN coverage of UFC on FX 2: Alves vs. Kampmann
Kyle Noke (19-5-1, 3-1 UFC) vs. Andrew Craig (6-0, 0-0 UFC)
Noke is an Australian who trains with Greg Jackson's team in Albuquerque. He has a well-rounded game, which can be seen by the variety of finishes he has employed in his three UFC wins thus far. The southpaw prefers to use an outside boxing game, but won't hesitate to take a fight to the ground if necessary. Craig is a highly-touted UFC rookie that is coming off a win over Bellator veteran Eric Schambari. The Houston-based fighter is a purple belt in BJJ and similarly well-rounded, so it should be a good fight. Craig is a late replacement for Jared Hamman.
T.J. Waldburger (14-6, 2-1 UFC) vs. Jake Hecht (11-2, 1-0 UFC)
the 23-year-old Waldburger is a former Shark Fights welterweight champion who made his UFC debut in late 2010. He has won two of his three UFC bouts so far, only falling to Johny Hendricks by TKO. He's a brown belt in BJJ, and 11 of his 14 wins have come via submission. Hecht is a well-rounded fighter with eight stoppages in his 11 wins. He made his UFC debut against Rich Attonito at UFC 140. After losing the first round, he blasted Attonito with elbows and picked up a TKO victory. This bout should be a real style clash and has the makings to be one of the most exciting bouts on the card.
Mackens Semerzier (6-3, 1 NC, 1-0, 1 NC UFC) vs. Daniel Pineda (16-7, 1-0 UFC)
Mackens "Mack Da Menace" Semerzier made a splash in his WEC debut by submitting Wagneey Fabiano, but followed it up with three straight losses. He broke his losing streak in his UFC debut by submitting Alex Cacares. his next bout against Robert Peralta was originally ruled to be a TKO win for Peralta, but an accidental headbutt that the ref missed led the athletic commission to change it to a no contest. He was expected to rematch Peralta here, but Pineda stepped in on late notice when Peralta had to pull out with an injury. Pineda is another Houston-based fighter and longtime competitor for Legacy FC. He won his UFC debut by choke over Pat Schilling, and will look to make it two in a row against the crafty Semerzier.
Oli Thompson (9-2, 0-0 UFC) vs. Shawn Jordan (12-3, 0-0 UFC)
Thompson is a British former strongman who is making his UFC debut. He is currently on a five-fight winning streak and this will be his first time competing outside of England. He was scheduled to debut at UFC 138 but was forced out with an injury. Shawn "The Savage" Jordan is a Strikeforce and Bellator vet with heavy hands. In his last bout he submitted Lavar Johnson with a keylock in the second round. This should be a war as both guys are known for their hands, so somebody's probably getting knocked out.
