Superscalar computing and pipelining
Superscalar computing allows a microprocessor to increase the number of instructions per clock that it completes beyond 1 instruction/clock. Recall that 1 instruction/clock was the maximum theoretical instruction throughput for a pipelined processor as described above. Because a superscalar machine can have multiple instructions in multiple write stages on each clock cycle, the superscalar machine can complete multiple instructions per cycle. If we adapt our previous pipeline diagrams to depict two-way superscalar execution, they look as follows:
In the figure above, two instructions are added to the "Completed Instructions" box on each cycle once the pipeline is full. The more ALU pipelines that a processor has operating in parallel, the more instructions that it can add to that box on each cycle. Thus superscalar computing allows us to increase a processor's IPC by adding more hardware. There are some practical limits to how many instructions can be executed in parallel, so the processor doesn't always reach the ideal completion rate of two instructions per clock. Sometimes, the processor can't find two instructions to execute in parallel on a particular cycle, which means that it must insert a pipeline bubble into one of the pipelines on that cycle, bringing the completion rate down.
Simultaneous multithreading and pipelining
Keeping up the processor's average completion rate on a superscalar, pipelined machine involves finding ways to schedule instructions to execute in parallel on each cycle. But because the code stream is designed to be sequential, there are some inherent limits to how much parallelism that the processor can extract from it.
One of the ways that the latest processors for Intel, IBM, and AMD solve this problem is by including support for simultaneous multithreading (a.k.a. hyperthreading or "SMT") in their processors and then asking the programmer and/or compiler to make the code stream as explicitly parallel as possible. Only multithreaded applications can take full advantage of SMT, and multithreading can only be done by the party that designs the application.
Multithreaded application design involves identifying portions of an application that can be split into discrete and independent tasks, and assigning those tasks to separate threads of execution. This process of multithreading an application in effect turns a single sequential code stream into a bundle of two or more related code streams that can execute in parallel. And when two concurrently executing threads are part of the same program, then that program's average completion rate will increase because more of its instructions will be completed on each cycle. In this sense, SMT can increase a program's average completion rate by enabling it to take better advantage of superscalar hardware.
By designing the code stream from the ground up as a bundle of smaller, simultaneously executing code streams, some of the burden of extracting instruction-level parallelism is moved from the processor to the programmer/compiler. Note that compilers are notoriously poor at such parallelization, so it usually falls to the programmer to design the application so that it can be broken into multiple threads.
Not all applications lend themselves to multithreaded implementation. In such cases, SMT offers few advantages. Well talk about why this is the case in a moment, though. For now, let's look at another way that SMT can improve application performance.
SMT not only improves application performance by increasing a multithreaded application's average completion rate under normal circumstances (i.e. all instructions are found in the L1 cache), but it also can prevent the completion rate from dropping to zero as a result of cache misses and memory latencies. When the processor is executing two threads simultaneously, and one of the threads stalls in the fetch stage (i.e., there's a cache miss so the thread must fetch instructions or data from main memory), the processor can continue normally executing the non-stalled thread. In a non-SMT processor, pipeline bubbles would crop up beneath the stalled instruction and propagate into the execution core, killing the application's average completion rate. The SMT processor, on the other hand, can schedule instructions from the non-stalled thread for execution in those available pipeline slots.
If the two threads in the scenario above are from the same application, then SMT prevents the multithreaded application's completion rate from dropping to zero for the duration of the stall by continuing to execute code from a non-stalled thread. This helps to keep the application's average completion rate up and to reduce the time it takes to execute the application. On the other hand, if the two threads are from two separate single-threaded applications, then the completion rate for the application with the stalled thread will drop to zero, while the completion rate for application with the non-stalled thread may either stay the same or improve. In cases where the non-stalled application's completion rate improves, it's because the stalled thread is no longer tying up processor resources that the non-stalled thread needs access to.
In the end, it's likely that two single-threaded applications will execute slightly slower on an SMT processor, depending on the types of applications and other conditions, because they may contend with each other for shared resources (e.g., cache, execution units, queue entries, etc.). Most SMT designs use a variety of techniques to minimize such contention and its effects, but it's always a factor.

Permabond TA4605 and TA4610 structural adhesives are now available in Canada from Adheco, a leading supplier of quality adhesive technologies. Developed to bond untreated polyolefin surfaces, these adhesives offer many advantages.
Product benefits
Permabond TA4605 and TA4610 adhesives are designed to bond untreated hard-to-bond polyolefins, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, to a wide variety of substrate materials. One of the major advantages of using these products is that they don't require the need for costly surface pre-treatment before use. There is no need to use primer or expensive flame, corona or plasma pre-treatment before bonding, which results in major cost and time savings. The adhesives, in fact, can be used in place of solvent, friction, heat and ultrasonic welding solutions.
Another major benefit is their ease of use. With a simple 1:1 mix ratio, the adhesives can be applied manually or with automatic dispensing equipment. In addition, the fact that they are non-hazardous means they are easier to ship and store.
Product details
Both adhesives have an operating temperature of -55 to 100 degrees C (-67 to 212 degrees F), and are available in off-white and nearly colourless varieties.
Permabond TA4605 is the version that should be used when a fast set is required. It offers a five- to 10-minute fixture time, a 20- to 25-minute handling time, and a two- to four-hour working strength. Model TA4610, however, offers a 12- to 15-minute fixture time, a 40- to 50-minute handling time, and a six- to eight-hour working strength. If slower curing is required, Permabond TA4620 is available upon request.
A leading distributor

Does that headline sound familiar? It should, because AT&T originally began rolling an Android 4.3 update out to its version of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 back in mid-November. However, the update was halted a few days later after it began causing issues for users that installed it. The good news is that it didn't take long for the push to resume.
AT&T announced today that the Galaxy S 4's Android 4.3 update is now going out over the air, bringing with it a bump to software build JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2 and a few other goodies. Here's AT&T's changelog for the 727MB update:
It's kind of a bummer that AT&T Galaxy S 4 owners were teased with a taste of Android 4.3 Jelly Bean before having it yanked away due to some bugs, but hey, at least it only took a week or so for the push to begin once again. If you're rocking a Galaxy S 4 that's got an AT&T globe tattooed on its backside, you can check for this new (and hopefully bug-free) version of the Android 4.3 update by heading into Settings > More > About device > Software update > Check for updates. Be sure to give us a shout if you manage to pull some software from the sky!

Amber, with a copper cast. Moderately full-bodied. Marmalade, honey, maple. Rounded and quite fragrant on the palate. Ample fruit is brought forth with rich woody components and deep spice. Long, smooth, sweet and delicious finish.

92 pts.Wine Enthusiast: 9/1/2014
Delicious but fiery, this nine-year-old small-batch Bourbon offers deep toffee aromatics and bold flavor. On the palate, look for relatively dry flavors: leather, cedar, dried orange peel. A splash of water softens the profile to bring out more vanilla, honey, even a touch of chocolate.

92 pts. Jim Murray's Whisky Bible (2010 ed.): ,
Almost stereotypical of what a chunky and very good bourbon should be: firm yet yielding with excellent honeycomb and cocoa amid vanilla and honey. At times almost old Jamaican pot still rum-like; sweet delivery — rummy again! — then a delivery of oily corn and spices and wonderful layering of vanilla-fed oak. Long and powerful and fabulously lush with a return to honeycomb topped by a sugared rye-spice climax. No whisky in the world has a more macho name, and this is not for the faint-hearted.

90–95 pts. Wine Enthusiast: September, 2002
Pretty medium amber/russet color. Opening inhalation detects voluptuous, deep aromas of toasted walnut, cereal grain, and dark toffee; aeration serves to stiumulate even deeper scents that include honey, hard candy and overripe peaches. There's a burst of palate entry heat; midpalate features mature flavors of kiwi, key lime, raisins, plums and grapefruit. Aftertaste is rich, textured and sweet. One of my favorite muscle-bound tipples.

90–95 pts.Wine Enthusiast: 6/1/2005
Smells of sweet corn, buttered popcorn and pistachio nuts in the early stages; later whiffs pick up well-endowed scents of sautéed butter, oaky vanilla, beeswax and linseed oil. Palate entry is full-bodied, sweet and honeyed; at midpalate the taste profile turns drier, more intensely grainy-mashy and breakfast cereal-like. Finishes with notes of nougat, almonds, candy bar, and oak.

90 pts.Whisky Advocate: Fall, 2014
Knob was one of the first bourbons I had when I started taking whiskey seriously, and it's still a kicker. No-nonsense, flint-hard nose: slickly-polished oak furniture, cinnamon stick, cracked rye, wet cornmeal, hard candies. Bang! A lean whiskey that gets in your mouth and explodes with rye spice and cinnamon candy, a sharp wedge that opens you right up. The finish echoes: oak, a dying fire, clean and almost crisp. Emphatic, bright, and swift.

The Myth of "Shovel Ready" Jobs
September 8, 2011
While government and the media promised that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), or stimulus package, would create "shovel ready" projects that would almost immediately create new jobs and develop the nation's infrastructure, the reality on the ground after the bill was passed did not match the political rhetoric surrounding it. According to a report by researchers at the Mercatus Center, several bureaucratic entanglements created inconsistent measurements of the benefits of ARRA on job creation.
One major issue was with the way the jobs were being calculated. For example, because employers thought about questions regarding job creation in different ways, their responses varied dramatically. Additionally, there was a lack of consistency in the way questions were asked and the way value was measured across the federal government and throughout time.
Some of the report's findings include:
- Some reported that the government formula counted every 520 hours of work within a quarter as one stimulus-funded-job. However, this formula does not ask whether the worker quit another job to take the ARRA job or whether the job would have existed but for ARRA. Thus, this is not an opportunity cost calculation -- it is a mere arithmetic sum.
- Some respondents were at least initially told by federal officials to take the amount of stimulus funding they received and divide it by a figure (in one case, $92,000 per job) to determine the number of jobs their funds created. This method was job creation by assumption. Additionally, the methods by which ARRA recipients were to calculate and report jobs saved and created changed over time.
- Other firms were given few if any instructions on how to calculate the number of jobs they saved or created. Instead they based the number they reported to the federal government on historical trends or simple head counts. Some respondents included as jobs created positions that existed for a matter of days or weeks, such as jobs for plumbers or painters.
The result was unclear and distorted reporting of how many jobs were actually created. Confusion with government reporting and expectations means that the high number of "shovel ready" jobs was a myth.

Aftenposten sure has an interesting way of reporting on Israel. No word what so ever on the rocket rain that fell over southern Israel last weekend, during the last days of the High Holidays (even anti-Israel news outfit Reuters managed to get that story…), nor have they bothered to follow up with the latest development bv , that Israeli's living in the South have been advised to stay within 15 seconds from a bomb shelter. And really, what it this business with insisting on calling terrorists 'militants'. They would throw a fit and hiss and spit if anybody suggested that that awful creature, ABB, is a mere militant. But apparently Palestinians have got a free pass to blow themselves and anybody else they feel like dragging along to to bits in an untimely death without any critical press coverage.

Salafist leader killed in Israeli airstrike on Gaza
Three Palestinians were killed, including the leader of a militant Salafist, the Israeli air strike on Gaza Strip in the past day.

li fighter attack Saturday night a motorcycle with two men on in Jabaliya in the north of Gaza Strip.
Both were killed and two passers-by were wounded in the attack, including a twelve year old boy, according to Palestinian hospital.
In the early hours of Sunday attacked Israeli fighter aircrafts over a motorcycle with two men, this time South of the Gaza Strip. One of the men was killed and the other wounded. Their identity is not known.
Hamas, which controls Gaza, confirmed that two members of the Salafist Tawhid and Jihad (One God and Holy War) was killed in Saturday's attack in Jabaliya.One of those killed was the 43 years Jordanian Hisham al-Saedni, who could have been the group leader.
The group will have ties to the terrorist network al-Qaeda and are rivals of Hamas.
Imprisoned by Hamas
Saedni to have joined al-Qaida in Iraq shortly after the U.S. invasion in 2003. Later he found the road to Gaza, where he was a year ago was arrested by Hamas police and jailed.
Members of the Tawhid and Jihad abducted a few months later the Italian activist Vittorio Arrigoni Palestinians in Gaza, in an effort to force Hamas to release Saedni.
Rocket Attacks
Arrigoni was later killed and Saedni was released in August this year. No later than Friday took Tawhid and Jihad claimed responsibility for a rocket that fell near a house in the Israeli town of Netivot.
Israeli fighter planes attacked Saturday by more training camps used by the Hamas movement's armed branch Saturday, but no one was injured in these attacks. (© NTB)

The prestigious Carnegie PhD Scholarship scheme supports a limited number of graduates, with first class Honours undergraduate degrees from a Scottish university, who wish to pursue three years of postgraduate research leading to a PhD at a university in Scotland. There is no restriction on the subject or field.
The number of nominations is subject to a quota. To be considered, prospective PhD students must be selected as candidates by one of the Scottish universities and have their nomination approved before their application pack is submitted to the Trust by their nominator. Applications received without the required institutional approval will not be accepted. A student can only be nominated by one university and multiple nominations for the same student are not permissible.
The Trust also administers the Caledonian Research Fund PhD Scholarships on behalf of the RSEScotland Foundation (RSESF). Two awards are made each year under the Caledonian (CRF) Scholarship banner. The Scholarships are awarded and held under identical conditions as the Carnegie Scholarships and are under the charge and control of the Trustees of the RSESF, who retain the power to alter the rules and to change the purpose and destination of the Scholarships.
The Henry Dryerre scholarship which supports students wishing to undertake a PhD in medical or veterinary physiology is offered every three years. The scheme is administered in the same way as the Carnegie/Caledonian scholarships. It will next be offered for projects starting in academic year 2017-2018.
Eligibility and Nomination
- A First-Class Undergraduate Honours degree from a Scottish university is a pre-requisite for consideration for Scholarships. Alongside existing graduates, final year undergraduate students expecting to achieve a First-Class Honours degree are also eligible for nomination. In faculties which do not award Honours, e.g. Medicine, the equivalent standard will be expected.
- A student who has already commenced study for a research degree (MPhil, PhD or equivalent) is not eligible.
- The candidate must be nominated by the prospective supervisor of the PhD project and can only be nominated for a Carnegie or Caledonian PhD Scholarship by one university.
- The number of nominations per Scottish university is subject to a quota (announced annually by the Trust). Each university must select its preferred candidates, according to its quota, in sufficient time to permit submission of the completed forms ahead of the Trust's deadline. The quota for nominations for 2017 is available under the appropriate tab below.
- Completed nomination forms for the selected candidates must be submitted online to the Trust by 28th February 2017, 5:00pm. The awards are announced at the end of May each year. Nomination and Institutional Statement of Support forms are available from the nominated university contact listed in this document.
- As part of the nomination, the prospective supervisor must submit an Institutional Statement of Support Form completed by the relevant Departmental/School: Head, Deputy Head, Research Director, Postgraduate Studies Director or Dean. The form must also include the signature of a university representative who can confirm the nomination is for one of its chosen candidates.
- Nominators and Nominees are under an obligation to inform the Trust without delay of any changes to the circumstances of the Nominee, including any awards received and/or examination results obtained after the nomination has been submitted.
- Carnegie/Caledonian Scholarships are awarded for the support of full-time research studies leading to a doctorate at a Scottish university.
- A Scholarship is not tenable in conjunction with a Government-funded Research Studentship, a Research Council award, or any comparable scholarship.
- Scholarships are normally awarded for 36 months (3 years). The tenure period may be extended to a maximum of 42 months, but only when a case for such an extension has been made at the time of nomination and approved by the Trust as part of the award. An extended project duration will require confirmation by the University that the tuition fees for the final 6 month period will be waived (the Trust will pay only the other elements of the scholarship pro-rata).
- Scholars are expected to devote their whole time to the purpose for which the Scholarship was awarded.
Annual Progress Report
- Scholars and Supervisors are required to send, by 15th August of each year of tenure, an annual report to the Trust, using the form that will be emailed to them in advance. The form is composed of Part 1, to be completed by the Scholar, and Part 2, to be completed by the Supervisor. In case of delay, payment of the Scholar's stipend will be withheld until these reports are received.
- The Trust's Advisers, experts in the relevant field, will assess the Scholar's progress on the basis of the reports and will make formal recommendations to the Trust. Unsatisfactory progress may lead to the withdrawal of the Scholarship.
What's included
What's Included
The annual value of a Scholarship is £16,200 for the academic year 2017-2018 and normally rises in line with awards funded by Research Councils. Payment of the Scholarship stipends will be made monthly, in advance, and will normally start on 1st October in each year.
Tuition fees
In addition, the Trust meets the cost of tuition fees payable by Scholars to their universities and/or colleges up to the RCUK rate of £4,195 for 2017-18.
Research expenses and costs
The Trust will help cover special expenses incurred by Scholars in connection with their research, subject to confirmation by their Supervisor (£1000 per year). Eligible costs include small items of equipment, travel, accommodation and subsistence when conducting research or presenting at a conference or workshop.
Income from teaching or other bursaries
Scholars may retain, in any one year, up to a maximum of £3,000 derived from bursaries or prizes, and may also retain fees from teaching or demonstrating, up to a maximum of £3,500. All income exceeding £6,500 from these sources taken together will be deducted in full. Income from other sources will be ignored.
Nominations for the candidates selected by each university must be submitted by 28th February 2017, 5PM (British Standard Time) for PhD projects starting in academic year 2017-18.
Late submissions, received after the deadline, submissions without institutional approval or for students who are not one of the selected candidates of a Scottish university will not be considered.
Nomination quota
Nomination quota per university
The total number of applications is limited to 60 and a quota of nominations per university is applied. The calculation method for this quota is based on the number of PhD degrees awarded by each Scottish university over a period of 5 years up to 2012-2013, using the UKPIs: Research output (table R1) published by the Higher Education Statistics Agency.
Each university is allowed 2 nominations by default, plus a percentage of the remaining 30 places.
As part of the nomination process, universities are asked to confirm on the Institutional Statement of Support that each nominated student is one of the candidates selected by that university. A student can only be nominated by one university. Multiple nominations for the same student through different universities are not permissible.
For the 2017 selection round, the number of nominations per university is:
Number of submissions
Edinburgh Napier
Glasgow Caledonian
Queen Margaret
Robert Gordon
St Andrews

Assessment process
Assessment process
Nominations submitted to the Trust are reviewed by independent subject advisers recruited outside the Scottish academic community and represent different areas of research undertaken in the Scottish universities. The Advisers have been selected on the basis of their expertise in reviewing and their in-depth knowledge of their subject field.
The subject advisers review nominations sent to them according to 4 assessment criteria:
1. Candidate's academic ability and potential for research
2. Originality, significance and feasibility of the proposed project
3. Fit between the candidate, project and research environment
4. Overall quality of the application
A sample assessment form is available for download.
Using the comments and scores of the advisers, the Trust draws up a shortlist of candidates. The nominations of the shortlisted candidates are then further reviewed and ranked by the Selection Panel, comprising 5 senior academics recruited from within the Scottish academic community, in addition to the Trust's secretary and Treasurer.
Robertson Medal
Robertson Medal
The Robertson Medal is awarded each year to the Scholarship candidate judged to be the most outstanding of that year's competition.

Student eligibility
Student eligibility
What are the eligibility criteria for the Carnegie/Caledonian PhD Scholarships?
A First Class undergraduate Honours degree from a Scottish University is a pre-requisite for this scheme and no exceptions are made to this rule. Students who do not have a First Class Undergraduate Honours Degree from a Scottish university are not eligible. No exceptions are made to this rule.
The student I wish to nominate does not have a First Class undergraduate Honours degree from a Scottish University but has done a PG Masters here. Is this student eligible?
Under the regulations of the PhD Scholarship Scheme, a First Class undergraduate Honours degree from a Scottish University is a pre-requisite. Students who do not have a First Class undergraduate Honours from a Scottish university are not eligible. This also means that students who have come to Scotland to study for a Postgraduate Masters after completing an undergraduate degree in different country than Scotland are not eligible.
Are there any nationality or residency restrictions?
As long the potential candidate holds a First Class undergraduate Honours degree from a Scottish University, there are no restrictions as to nationality or residency. Should the student be required to pay higher fees due to his or her residency status, the Trust will cover tuition fees at the RCUK rate and expects the university to waive the remainder.
The student I wish to nominate has done a dual degree with two years at a university abroad and two years in Scotland. The degree will be awarded by both universities. Is this student eligible?
Yes, as long as the final degree is a First Class undergraduate Honours degree from a Scottish University as well as from a university overseas, the student is eligible.
The candidate I plan to nominate is on track to achieve a First Class Honours but the final results are not known yet. Can I still nominate this student?
Yes, students who are expected to achieve a First Class undergraduate Honours degree at a Scottish University but have not received their final results may be nominated. If successful, a conditional offer will be made subject to the award of a First Class Honours.
The student I wish to nominate obtained a First Class Degree from the Open University. Is this student eligible?
Under the terms of Carnegie's Trust Deed, the Trust can only support students or academics in one of the fifteen Scottish universities (Aberdeen, Abertay, Dundee, Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier, Glasgow, Glasgow Caledonian, Heriot-Watt, Queen Margaret, Robert Gordon, St Andrews, Stirling, Strathclyde, UHI and West of Scotland).
I have already started my PhD, can I still be nominated?
The award is only open to students who are yet to start their PhD. Nominations submitted in February 2017 must be for projects starting in academic year 2017-18.
Where can the scholarship be held?
The Carnegie/Caledonian PhD Scholarships can only be held at a Scottish university. Tenure outside Scotland is not possible.
What is the length of tenure?
Awards are made for the standard length of a PhD degree: 36 months ( = 3 years). Shorter periods of tenure are not possible.
My PhD project is highly likely to require an additional 6 months. Is it possible to apply for a longer period of tenure?
A case for extending the scholarship for 6 months may be made at the time of nomination by the academic nominating the student. This must be approved by the Trust if an award is made. It is not possible to request an extension once tenure of an award has started.
Nomination process
Nomination process
I have applied to do a PhD and I am now looking for funding. How can I be nominated for this award?
Students must be nominated by their prospective supervisor in the department where they wish to undertake the project. It is not possible to apply directly to the Trust. There is also a fixed number of nominations for each university, therefore an internal selection process will take place at each university to select the candidates whose nomination will be put forward to the Trust. Once a student has been chosen as one of the candidates for a specific university, the prospective supervisor must submit the nomination form, institutional statement of support form and transcripts to the Trust by the deadline of 28th February 2017, 5PM, British Standard Time
How do I find out about the internal selection process at the university where I wish to study?
A list of contacts for each university under the Forms and Regulations tab.
Where can I obtain the nomination and institutional statement of support forms?
The forms are available through the university contacts listed under the Forms & Regulations tab.
Can a student be nominated by more than one university?
Students can only be nominated by one university and one nominator at a time. Each nominated candidate and nominator will be asked to confirm, as part of the nomination, that the student is only being nominated by one university.
The student I wish to nominate is not one of the students selected for nomination by my university. Can I still submit a nomination to the Trust without the university's endorsement?
All nominations must be for students selected as nominees by a Scottish university. The institutional statement of support form must be signed by an appropriate officer confirming the candidates are the students the university wishes to put forward for the awards. Nominations for students who have not been selected by a Scottish university and have no institutional sign off will not be accepted.
Other than the nomination form, what documents are required as part of a nomination package?
In addition to the nomination form, the nominating academic must also submit the institutional statement of support form completed by the Dean/Head of School/Head of Department where the project will be undertaken and signed off by a university representative, and a copy of the academic transcripts for the student's undergraduate record to date, and postgraduate record (if applicable).
Where and how should the nomination package be submitted to the Trust once the candidates have been selected at each university?
Once a candidate has been officially selected by the university where he or she will undertake the PhD project, the prospective supervisor is responsible for submitting the nomination pack to the Trust ahead of the closing date (28th February 2017, 5PM). The nomination must be submitted online under the Submit a nomination tab.
When will the online submission form open?
The online submission process will open 2-3 weeks before the Trust's deadline of 28th February 2017.
Does the candidate need to provide a reference?
One reference is required, from an academic familiar with the student's academic record to date and potential for research at postgraduate level. The reference section is included in the nomination form and should not be submitted separately.
Completing the nomination form
Completing the nomination form
How important are prizes, scholarships or distinctions?
If a student has received a specific prize, scholarship or distintion, this should be listed on the form. Any scholarship or other opportunity that led to the dissemination of research results in an article or conference presentation should also be included with the relevant details of the outputs or outcomes (conference title, date, publication details etc.). In practice, the academic transcripts with the student's marks will bear more heavily in the assessment each nomination.
What do you mean by relevant employment history?
This section should only be used to list any employment that may be relevant to the topic of the proposed research or helps demonstrate the candidate's suitability for research.
Who should write the research proposal in section 3.d?
The research proposal must be written by the nominated student, using his or her own words. Proposals for projects developed by the supervisor or another academic will not be accepted.
Can I insert a list of works cited or a bibliography?
Yes, works cited or a bibliography should be included as part of the project description. The total length of the proposal is limited to a maximum of 3 pages of A4, references to works cited included.
I need more space to write my proposal, can I change the format of the form or exceed the required length?
Please stick to the instructions on the form as to lengh and format of the text. Changing the lay out may potentially alienate your reader.
Why do I need to submit the nomination form both in PDF and in Word format?
The Trust needs a Word Document to be able to process the details of the nominations received but, for security reasons, it is not advisable to included scanned copies of signatures in an unprotected Word document. As a result, we request both a Word document in which names of signatories can be typed, and a PDF including the scanned copies of the required signatures. The Institutional Statement of Support can just be uploaded as a PDF.
What is the success rate for these Scholarships?
The success rate for the past couple of years has been 25%.
What does the Trust look for when selecting candidates?
The Trust looks for outstanding academic ability and potential for research at postgraduate level in the candidates nominated for these awards. A First Class undergraduate degree may be a pre-requisite but the candidates's transcripts must demonstrate academic excellence with a strong performance in their final year dissertation as well as evidence of consistency and/or increasing levels of achievements throughout their studies. In addition, the reviewing panel will be selecting proposals that demonstrate excellence, originality and significance. The research environment in which the proposed project will take place is also highly important. The institutional statement of support should highlight the fit between the proposed research and the environment in the department and university and explain the nature and level of support to be provided to the student by the supervisor(s) and the institution as a whole.

I'm actually in Budapest for the Cloudstack collaboration conference, but as i try to wrench my mind around to thinking about technology again (I was at Bloor's 25th birthday party in London last night, and I'm now in Budapest, and I was in Las Vegas last week—and I don't think I've had more than 4 hours sleep a night since whenever), thought I'd take in a bit of Apachecon, which is in the same hotel.
I found a keynote by David Nalley, VP of Infrastructure at the Apache Software Foundation, which was rather interesting, since it touched on one of my minor enthusiasms around working to delivering value rather than controlling cost. So, what is the value of the Apache Software Foundation (ASF)?
Well, it has about a million dollars in the bank, so is it a million dollar organisation? That really annoys Nalley, as he thinks it woefully undervalues the ASF. But Nalley found it quite hard to get economists to give him a hard value for the ASF—they just suggested ideas to think about. Which goes some way to explain IT's fixation with TCO—it's easy to put a (sometimes simplistic) number to cost whereas quantifying value is hard. So, Nalley tried using a COCOMO model, to evaluate the value of the software assets within the ASF. This suggested a couple of billion dollars but this is probably also an undervaluation—if the online economy is worth about 8 trillion dollars and about half of this this is served from the Apache web server, can the ASF claim to have a value in trillions of dollars?
Whatever, the ASF has value, and i don't think it's measured in mere millions of dollars. There are a lot of people contributing to the ASF. So, to take a different point of view, perhaps (according to Nalley) we've moved on from "software is eating the world" (Marc Andreessen) to "opensource software is eating the world" (Dr. Ibrahim Haddad, who is in charge of open source at Samsung)—and the ASF is doing a large chunk of the mastication. Which is extremely interesting....

First off, can you consolidate the cards onto a card you already have? If so, that would be best, so you don't take hit on your credit for opening a new account. If you can do that, choose the card with lowest interest rate to consolidate to. If that doesn't work, you can always try your bank/credit union for a consolidation loan. If you do consolidate, don't close the old cards, that will hurt your credit. Keep them open but don't run up balances or you'll be back in a pickle.
If consolidation is not an option, there are a few different ways to approach pay-down. Some folks like to pay off the cards that have the highest interest rate first, so they save on the interest. Some like to pay off the smallest ones first, so you get a sense of accomplishment (which is also important). For more information, I suggest www.credit.about.com and click on tab "Pay Off Debt"; lots of great info. You don't have to sign up for that website either, it's easy as pie!
Best of luck on your path to financial independence!

Discussion in 'The Kalashnikov Klub' started by >AdDiCtEd To AK's<, Jun 26, 2010.
I have a wasr 10/63 and its a great rifle, no problems of any kind.
Did you field strip clean and lube before using it your first time? I know this is several months out of date, but how about an update? How did you make out with the mag and what did you do or change? thanks
I have a Century Romanian WASR underfolder. I have had it for months and took it to the range for the 1st time today.
The original Romo magazine does wobble, but it functioned without any problems. I bought several Yugo magazines and they fit snu, no wobble at all, no JB weld required, and they function flawlessly.
I was shooting surplus Hungarian 1970's FMJ ammo. Open sights standing and sitting [no sand bags or bench rest] just shooting from a side seat postion and this rifle was surprisingly accurate. No malfunctions at all. All rounds fed, ejected and went bang.
With my shipping fee and FFL transfer fee I still paid less than $450 [i bought it from a private seller]
With my experience with this, I would seriously consider buying another. I'd have to shoot one of these higher priced AK's along side of mine to first hand see what the difference is before I'd consider buying something more expensive.
My Romy WASR-10 has been flawless so far. I've never shot a high end AK before so I cant really compare the two. I got 1000rds (not much for an AK) through mine since I bought it used earlier this month.
My Wasr is a champ. Runs great, super accurate (3-4moa!), was cheap and the finish makes it look like a legitimate AK. Just picked up a Romy g foregrip stock from centerfiresystems.com for $12, I can't complain.
Thanks for the link!
I've noticed that some of the cheaper CIA WASR 10's have visible nails in the stock. Whats the deal with that? Its ugly, but is this desireable for historical effect?
Great thread and learning a lot. Question, what's the difference between a WASR 10 and a WASR 10/63? Thanks.
I've heard that the 10/63 is suppsed to be better although I do not know why or what the differences are. I am guessing that the "63" means there was some type of design or upgrade made in 1963.....
I'd like more details as well as mine is also a 10/63.
Might be ease of construction, or just a lack of finishing after construction of the stock is complete.

Problems with the iPod 2nd Generation
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Here's the low-down... The iPod 2nd Gen changed their pin configuration so if you have an older iPod cable it will NOT charge your iPod, you'll need a separate adapter. I purchased that adapter and not only does it add another 1-1/2", but it also wont allow you to plug it in because the adapter is wider than the bottom cut out on the holder. I also wouldnt try putting in the iPod upside-down since it could slip out over bumpy roads, plus it also pushes in the side volume buttons so the volume icon flickers on the screen. Another problem is that they didnt make room for the headphone jack, since the main iPod plug doesn't provide audio. Either you have to elevate the iPod in the holder whatever the height is of the headphone plug, or drill a notch so it sits flush. Bad design overall. ( It could be intended for the 1st Gen iPod, but I never had one so I wouldn't know )

How Hindus Celebrate Durga Puja
Durga Puja is known as one of the biggest festivals among the Hindus, especially the Bengalis. Usually this festival is celebrated during the period of September and October. This festival is celebrated through five long days.
From the mythological point of view, the current time table of Durga Puja has connections with the Ramayana. During the war in Lanka, Lord Rama started worshipping Goddess Durga. Before that, the Durga Puja used to be held during the spring time. But since that time people started to worship goddess Durga during the autumn. Later Rama earned the blessings of Goddess Durga and was able to beat Ravana during the war.
Nowadays, Durga Puja became a cultural heritage and a cultural 'industry' especially in Bengal. Durga Puja in West Bengal is considered as one of the biggest festivals for a community all over the world. The beautiful Durga Idols and architecture attract the people from all over the world.

HAMILTON - Ivor Wynne Stadium's nickname has grown about as tired as the Edmonton Eskimos have of losing there.
Just substitute in the word 'Never' for -- well, you get the point.
And it's not far off.
Fact is, the Eskimos are 1-8 while playing the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on the road since 2003. Their last win there came in 2008, but it also came at a hefty price.
That was the game where former receiver Jason Tucker suffered a career-ending broken neck.
"Yeah, we've had a couple bad injuries there. Definitely you don't like to see that anywhere you go," said Eskimos quarterback Ricky Ray. "I just think that it's a tough place to play.
"Their fans are pretty rowdy and on top of you as you're sitting in the dugouts, so it's just a tough place to play and we've got to go out there and play one of our better games."

Electronic recording and reporting for tuberculosis care and control
Adopting electronic recording and reporting is not simply about choosing a piece of software: it is also about changing how people work. This is not a simple undertaking. This document introduces the key questions to be considered and illustrates what the questions, options and recommendations mean in practice by drawing on examples of recent experience from a variety of countries. It is an essential resource for all those planning to introduce electronic recording and reporting systems for TB care and control, or to enhance existing systems.

Black Panther T-Shirt
Move, Captain. I won't ask a second time.

Move, Captain. I won't ask a second time.Like many heroes in the Marvel Universe, T'Challa has an incredibly interesting backstory.

What is NFC technology
In the recent years new standards referring to RFID technology are imposed and among them surely the NFC is important. It is the technology with the radio frequency which allows communication between two devices that are near. They allow the exchange of information or performance of security payment. The designers claim that NFC will simplify to its extreme the way of interaction between the consumers device and guarantee a fast and secure information exchange.
Possible applications are many folded:
- Paying by mobile devices like cell phones
- Credit card integration into a mobile device
- Electronic money integrating with prepaid cards
- Electronic ticketing for transport usage
- Personal electronic document
- Download of data from kiosks such as railway time table
- Flight and hotel booking
- Music and photos download from camera, cell phones, multimedia readers
- Connections P2P (peer to peer) for an easy information transmission between wireless devices
The Near Field Communication Forum (http://www.nfc-forum.org/home) was set up in 2004. It is an industrial no profit association with the aim to standardize, implement and promote the NFC technology. Today the Forum has more then 160 members and is made up of manufacturing firms of developers and financial institutes. In august 2006 it issued the first four official specifications that relate to four initial format tags.
From the technical point of view NFC technology is an extension of ISO 1443 (which defines the standard of RFID tag Mifare at 13,56 Mhz) and both of ECMA and ETSI standard, it combines the integration of one smart card with one device or terminal. All NFC devices allow the reading and writing of information of high speed (424 Kbis/s). NFC connection happens when, so to say, they make a wireless connection which is compatible with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Since the way of function is highly limited it guarantees safe communication avoiding "sniffing" data.
One NFC device can communicate either with already present readers and cards ISO 1443 as well as with other NFC devices. So it is already compatible with the existing infrastructures RFID for payments and public transport. The NFC integration into cell phones and multimedia readers is already being tested, as the iPod can be, which enables buying and transferring of multimedia material.
The first concrete case of investments and NFC applications is delivered by Nokia, the leader firm for the communication in mobility products. Nokia has trusted in NFC technology from the very beginning. On the 22 last April, at the opening WIMA (www.wima-nfc.com) – the annual conference on commercial possibilities and NFC technology development held in Monaco– Nokia presented its third mobile cell phone with NFC technology completely integrated into Nokia 6216 classic.
For the first time such a technology was integrated into the SIM card allowing the cell phone operators to insert NFC services directly into the card itself. Thanks to such a technology costumers will be able to exchange between themselves the contents like pictures, files and data, in a more simple and comfortable way. Besides, NFC technology introduces payments and RFID transactions- all these with a simple touch of cell phone.
For example, the users' credit card information may be safely kept on SIM card and it will be only enough to pass over the mobile device with the users' hand in front of RFID terminal in order to access quickly to paying and other simple ticketing services.
Commercializing of Nokia 6216 classic is meant for the last quarter of this year on selected markets including Italy with the selling price of € 150. Taxes and subventions are excluded.
In the last edition of Cartes in Paris (www.cartes.com) – the Fair related to the card technology and the payment systems- the NFC adhesives were presented on that occasion and will be available on markets from 2009. The adhesive is meant for the phones markets to promote massive usage of technology. The adhesive has an antenna, RFID chip and a ferrite layer to protect it from electromagnetic fields. To be able use the NFC it is enough to stick the adhesive onto the cell phone battery.
A market research done by the Internet has shown that two or three interviewed persons would prefer paying directly by cell phone to carrying a wallet or coin purse with themselves. Apart from this, a paying through RFID technology is more practical then by cards- which you have to scrape or they have a little visible chip- simply to say, they often make confusion at paying.
The Near Field Communication technology world is in constant fermentation. It is proved by the awarded "NFC Forum Global Competition 2009" held at WIMA in Monaco on the last 24th April. The competition was organized by NFC Forum in order to award the most innovative projects of NFC technology.
At the competition the commercial projects developers had the honor to see that their products were nominated such as "The Best NFC service of the year 2009", while the projects of researchers were awarded by "The Most Innovative NFC Research Project of the year 2009". The winners were chosen among the 52 competitors from 21 countries.
The first premium for commercial projects went to Pakistan association which deals with the interactive research and development for "interaction warning of child's pneumonia". This is the system which fallows patients within the real time and which is used in the circumstances without a specialist and with little instrumental resources. Presently, the system has been used for the monitoring study of children's pneumonia in Karachi, Pakistan.
The second awarded participant of commercial projects was German Sevtag for "friendticker.com", a social community system based on NFC which enables its users to share their present position with friends simply by gentle touch of NFC NFC friendticker in restaurants and bars. The third award went to the Finland's Nordea for its application "strong- authentication" for application such as home banking on- line which makes possible the entrance by NFC device and a bank card with a double interface.
The first award in research project section was given to Finland's VVT Technical Research Centre for "hot in the city", a social media mobile service which uses NFC mobile phones a connective platform among friends.
In the research project section The Engineering Faculty of Ljubljana University was awarded in the research project section for " touch to communicate", a solution to help people who have communication problems to make vocal calls with a simple touch of telephone and a passive tag. The third award went to the Swiss ETH Zurich for "APriori", a mobile application based on NFC which helps the consumers who have the RFID tag products to make a decision on buying, only by touching the product the NFC device provide the consumer with all information about the valuation of the product (done by other consumers).
The aim of the Competition is the promotion of development and usage of innovative and exemplary NFC services . The commercial projects are ideas meant for a specific market , segment, consumer's need or wish, But those researching ones are more for Universities academic institutes and university students.

Guys are always telling me now how hard it is to find chefs to hire," says chef/restaurateur Adolfo Garcia. "I say, 'Yeah, that's because they're all opening their own restaurants.'"
He should know. Before Hurricane Katrina, Garcia was chef and partner at RioMar restaurant in the Warehouse District. Since 2005, he's opened five restaurants in New Orleans, often partnering with up-and-coming chefs to start them.
Garcia may be more prolific than most, but he's hardly alone: Established restaurateurs are adding more properties, and young chefs are jumping into the business for themselves. Developers are designating spaces for new restaurants in their projects, and some restaurants are clustering in former dining deserts like Freret Street, where a dozen eateries have opened along a half-mile stretch since 2009, and Bywater, where six new restaurants have opened within a few blocks of each other this year. Then there are entrepreneurs who deliver their meals via food trucks and the pop-up restaurant scene; sometimes these ventures grow into brick-and-mortar restaurants.
It adds up to a great surge in dining options this year in New Orleans.
"When I talk with customers now and ask where else they've been eating, it's always a new place," says Chris Montero, executive chef at Cafe B in Old Metairie, which opened in 2011. "For us in the business it means more competition for every diner, but it's an eater's market out there."
Census figures from 2011 show the city's population at just three-quarters of its pre-Katrina level, while the population for the metro region remains 10 percent lower.
Why are so many restaurants opening here now, when the industry has been suffering nationally? How does an area with a significantly reduced post-Katrina population support them?
"You're just not seeing restaurants opening like this in other places," says Stan Harris, president of the Louisiana Restaurant Association (LRA). "To have this growth, even when the city's population is still down, it's just flabbergasting." (See "Opening soon," page 31.)
While anecdotal evidence of the boom abounds, a precise figure on how many restaurants are open now is harder to come by because of the different criteria used to count restaurants and define markets. The state's parish-by-parish database of food-service permits generally is disregarded because it includes not only restaurants but everything from grocery stores to nursing homes. New Orleans tourism officials and other industry watchers instead have adopted the tally of restaurants food writer/radio host Tom Fitzmorris maintains on The New Orleans Menu website. It shows an increase from roughly 800 restaurants before Hurricane Katrina to more than 1,300 today, and Fitzmorris adds to that number nearly every week.
This count is highly customized, however. It includes restaurants in all of Orleans Parish and most of Jefferson Parish, but only in certain towns in five other surrounding parishes. It also excludes fast food outlets, take-out and delivery-only operations and most national chains. Fitzmorris acknowledges his list is selective but says, "I have always used these same criteria, so it's a steady statistic."
"It's not spot-on but we think his numbers are pretty dependable when you're talking about sit-down restaurants," says John Williams, director of the Lester E. Kabacoff School of Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Administration at the University of New Orleans (UNO). "It gives you a gauge for what's happening."
Those tracking restaurants nationally tend to analyze a larger regional picture. For instance, in its annual growth index released earlier this year, the market research company Nielsen Claritas reported 3,374 restaurants in the five-parish New Orleans area, including independent businesses and chains. That was an increase of 147 restaurants from the previous year and up by 523 restaurants from the total in its 2007 index. (Nielsen Claritas didn't respond to a request for pre-Katrina data.)
That kind of growth is at odds with industry trends nationally. According to the New York-based market research firm NPD Group, while the overall restaurant industry is seeing a slight increase in visits and spending this year, the full-service sector, as opposed to fast food, continues to see declines.
"The restaurant industry was hit hard by the recession and hasn't yet fully recovered," says Kim McLynn, a spokeswoman for NPD Group.
The November edition of the National Restaurant Association's Restaurant Performance Index, which tracks the industry's health and outlook, fell to its lowest level in more than a year, with twice as many restaurant operators expecting business to worsen than improve.
Around the New Orleans restaurant scene today, though, you're more likely to hear optimism.
"A lot of people have been waiting for the stumble on this, and it hasn't come." Williams says. "The restaurants here are doing very well."
Some new restaurateurs are finding their dining rooms packed and their waiting lists or reservation books full. "We're always asking ourselves what we did in a past life to deserve this success," says Kim Nguyen, whose Vietnamese cafe Magasin has been a hit since it opened Uptown in February.
Chef Michael Doyle is similarly surprised by the public's response to Maurepas Foods, the casual, intensely seasonal restaurant Doyle opened in January near his Bywater home. Many nights every table is full and much of the open space in this one-time corner store is filled with people waiting for tables.
Doyle's plan to open Maurepas Foods in a neighborhood that had not been known for restaurants initially drew skeptics.
"We had a banker come down here and turn around without even getting out of his car," Doyle says. "He pulled up, drove off and then emailed me later saying, 'There's just no way.'"
Just as new parts of town are growing into restaurant destin-ations, the types of new restaurants are different — from New York-style slices at Pizza Delicious, a former pop-up that went fulltime last month; to Root, a yearling in the Warehouse District where chef Phillip Lopez prepares highly conceptual cuisine in a kitchen loaded with high-tech gear like dehydrators and sous vide cookers. Lopez, a New Orleans native, says he opened Root in response to the stagnation he felt at traditional restaurants here. He believes a craving for new culinary ideas is propelling new restaurant growth.
"I see it as a changing of the guard," he says. "There's been a reset button. People are changing the way our restaurants operate and what they do."
Lopez believes the post-Katrina influx of people from around the country is helping accelerate changes in the restaurant scene — and he thinks that's an important part of keeping New Orleans cuisine relevant. Lopez and his business partners plan to open a second, higher-reaching restaurant in the Lower Garden District early next year. The new place, Square Root, will serve multi-course tasting menus exclusively.
"It's about making sure the food scene in New Orleans is everlasting," Lopez says. "A lot of restaurants in town now are forward-looking."
Octavio Mantilla, who runs eight New Orleans restaurants with chef John Besh, also believes the spread of new restaurants is in line with the wider sweep of change the city has experienced since since 2005.
"New Orleans is reinventing what the city is all about," Mantilla says. "You see that everywhere, and the restaurants are no exception. We (the Besh Restaurant Group) had two restaurants before Katrina. When we started talking about more, people said, 'Are you sure you want to do this?' But we don't open restaurants for the sake of opening them. Our whole plan is: We only grow if we have talent that wants to do something new with us."
Some restaurant growth can be attributed to continued recovery from Hurricane Katrina. A small cluster of new restaurants is emerging in Gentilly, and earlier this year Cafe Dauphine opened in the Lower 9th Ward. Neither neighborhood had much restaurant development until recently. Other factors are at play also as old corner stores, former warehouses, storefronts and residences are transformed into restaurants around the city.
Like Lopez, some observers point to a generational shift in what New Orleanians want from their restaurants — less formal settings, more international foods. At the same time, food TV programs have glamorized the restaurant business and enticed more young people to come aboard. And many restaurateurs say they are confident that today's busy lifestyles will cause people to dine out more often.
Then there is the relatively low barrier for entry into the business.
"You could argue that there's not a lot of other entrepreneurial opportunities out there and the restaurant business has been something that people fall into by passion, not by common sense," says Jon Smith, a former local wine merchant who now is a real estate consultant on restaurant projects. He says poorly structured leases or the potentially high cost of making the city's older buildings restaurant-ready are common pitfalls for new ventures.
Christine Briede, who runs the food service equipment supplier Loubat in Mid-City, says she has seen this issue play out more often lately when prospective restaurateurs start calculating the real cost of their plans. She also expressed concerned about the long-term viability of some of these plans.
"You hear about so many new places opening," she says. "Are they just taking smaller pieces of the pie?"
That pie represents dining dollars from residents as well as tourists. A survey commissioned by local tourism and convention agencies covering the first half of 2012 showed the number of visitors was slightly higher than the same period in 2011 and was on track to exceed that year's total of 8.75 million. The full-year tally for 2012 should still fall short of the 10.1 million visitors the city saw in 2004, the tourism industry's pre-Katrina peak, but today's visitors spend more — especially at restaurants. At mid-year, the survey revealed, restaurant spending by visitors was up 12 percent from 2011.
Still, the banker who literally fled from the idea of Maurepas Foods is no aberration. Restaurant industry leaders say bank credit often is unattainable for new restaurateurs, especially those with few assets to secure loans beyond their restaurant equipment and furnishings. Instead, many new restaurants are floated by private investors, family members and personal savings accounts.
"What scares me is people getting into the business who don't have the experience but put their entire life savings into a project," says Steve Pettus, managing partner of Dickie Brennan Restaurant Group. "Maybe some of them think, I love to eat and I have 100 friends who will support me. Well, you need 100 friends every night, and 100 of their friends."
Pettus has opened a dozen restaurants in his career, and will add another in late January as the Dickie Brennan group builds a 200-seat restaurant called Tableau as part of the redevelopment of Le Petit Theatre du Vieux Carre, the historic community theater across from Jackson Square. Pettus says the Tableau opening was too important an opportunity to pass up, but he's still not sanguine about the overall picture for the restaurant industry.
"You can't have that kind of growth in supply without growth in demand," he says. "Simple economics will tell you that."
The LRA's Harris says restaurants are highly vulnerable to cash flow issues, which means their business prospects can change rapidly.
"The engine that helps restaurants survive is capital," he says. "You have to be able to sustain yourself in the downtime (especially in the summer when convention and events trail off). You'll see restaurants that are here one day and not tomorrow."
For the most part, however, Williams says the local industry has proved resilient.
"The visitor really supports this sector and we have a home base that supports it too," he says. "What we see here is atypical of what's happening in other cities, where even if hotels are doing well the restaurants are not."
For his part, Garcia believes the high proportion of chef-led and independent restaurants now opening in New Orleans could be a key to their longevity. Typically owners of such restaurants are fully invested in their projects — financially and emotionally, Garcia says. He says often they are willing to continue operating with a lower profit margin than a chain restaurant that has to justify its bottom line to a corporate entity.
"I think we're closer to the product and closer to the people we work with and serve," Garcia says. "When I go to other [places], I see the proliferation of restaurants but it's usually chains. Oh, Applebee's is going in here, oh, they're getting a Five Guys over there. Here, it's more grassroots. You hear about Chef So-and-So opening a new place, or this sous chef is opening his own place. That's really a unique situation and I think we're blessed to have that."

UFC 176 was supposed to take place on Aug. 2, but due to an injury to featherweight champion Jose Aldo, the fight was rescheduled and the pay-per-view was cancelled.
Chad Mendes, who was supposed to be the challenger and have another crack at the champion, wasn't exactly thrilled about the decision.
"If Aldo can't stay healthy and is too fragile to go through a training camp, then I think it is time to step aside and let guys who are able to do that and able to push through all that stuff, to be a champ," said Mendes on the MMA Hour.
In response, Aldo decided to write a long-winded letter about how Mendes was using "supplements" — inferring PED use. When fighters get mad at each other, they like to throw out, "Oh yeah, you're on drugs." It's all rather silly.
Speaking of silly, the UFC having to cancel another event, the second pay-per-view in the last two years, is rather unfortunate. Although I want to rant on the over-saturation of the UFC, it's hard to blame that for the cancellation.
Many claim that the UFC cards have become "watered down" and although I would like to agree, what is really being said is the UFC is lacking star power right now.
It doesn't help that Georges St-Pierre is on a vacation, and the heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has been on the shelf with an injury. New lightweight champion Anthony Pettis hasn't even defended his title due to injury and TUF 20 obligations. And let's not forget about welterweight champion Johny Hendricks, who is also dealing with an injury.
It's just one of those years for the UFC where things have not gone according to plan. It's the fight business, where injuries and politics happen. It's almost like people forget about 2013, a time when many were proclaiming it as the best year ever for the UFC and the sport.
I will agree that the current idea of having three events in a month, pay-per-view, UFC on FOX, and Fight Pass, is a tad much, but when you are trying for world domination, you can understand why the UFC wants to hit as many markets as possible.
Right now, they are going through growing pains. Every sport and every brand goes through ups and downs. Many of the disgruntled fans will be watching Jon Jones vs. Alex Gustafsson in September because for that moment, the stars will be aligned.

Life to Eagle Training
Life Scouts beginning work on Eagle should plan to attend Life to Eagle training on Wednesday November 20th: printable flyer
Scouting is a great organization; the greatest of all youth accomplishments is the rank of Eagle Scout. The rank is not one that is easily achieved and only about 4% of all Scouts ever achieve this prestigious award. The reason that so few are awarded the Eagle Scout Award is because of the challenging nature of the award. The Three Harbors Council has a chance for you to have a better understanding the award, its requirements and the Eagle Scout Workbook so that you can BE an Eagle Scout. You (and your parents) are invited to attend this Life to Eagle Training.
