Staff Report
Cooperstown Crier
---- — Twenty-five fifth through ninth graders from schools around the three-county area recently participated in the Chenango – Delaware – Otsego (CDO) Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) Leadership Council's Go STEM Summer Institute.
The CDO STEM Leadership Council was formed in 2009 and includes more than 25 volunteer members from business, education (P-12, BOCES and post-secondary) and workforce development who are dedicated to identifying and expanding opportunities for area students to learn about and explore STEM-related careers in an effort to better the area's economic future and quality of life.
This marked the third year of the Go STEM Institute and is the first year of the revised theme, How It Works. In previous years, the institute focused on the exploration of "green" topics. This year and in future years, the focus is on helping students apply the science, technology and math they learn during the academic year with everyday processes within the world around them.
According to a media release, the 2013 Go STEM Institute had students exploring the science/technology/math of food and learning the answers to questions such as what type of energy source is perfect for making cookies and why; what happens when you change the leavening agent in pizza dough and why; and how can milk be transformed into yogurt?
In addition to the middle school students, participants also included education majors from the State University College at Oneonta (pre-service teachers) and current (in-service) teachers who worked together to develop the learning activities for the week-long program. By including pre-service teachers, "the CDO STEM Leadership Council is achieving its objective to prepare future teachers to approach the teaching of science and math in interesting and engaging ways and assisting in-service teachers in developing curriculum to strengthen students' understanding and experience with scientific inquiry," Karen Rowe, director of curriculum and Instruction for Oneonta City Schools and co-chairwoman of the CDO STEM Leadership Council, said in the release.
According to Bill Pietraface, SUNY Oneonta Biology Professor (retired) and program coordinator of the Go STEM Institute, "The pre-service teachers and current teachers offered a fun-filled experience for the students in a relaxed setting that provided a perfect environment for learning about the science of food."
The releases said the Institute also incorporated the expertise of area business leaders who lead demonstrations and hands-on activities in the making of some of the students' favorite foods. Audrey Benkenstein, program services manager for CDO Workforce and the CDO STEM Leadership Council co-chairwoman said, "Students were given a unique opportunity to learn practical applications of their academic subjects from people who also taught them about valuable careers in the local area."
Benkenstein said that the Go STEM Institute is made possible in large part by the generous support of business representatives on the council and community partners who donated funding, supplies and much needed time and energy.
"Without the support of Time Warner Cable – Connect A Million Minds, the Otsego County Industrial Development Agency, Corning Foundation, Unalam, ACCO Brands, Raymond Corporation, the Catskill Regional Teachers Center and SUNY Oneonta, the Institute would not exist," she said in the release.

7 Teams That Could Be NBA Champions in 2014
With the trade deadline in the rearview mirror, the thrust of the National Basketball Association's attention can finally, gloriously, unabashedly turn toward the playoffs. While there are 16 teams that make the post-season every year, there are only a handful that can actually be called contenders — particularly in a year where entry into the bottom half of the playoffs may be because you meant to tank and didn't (hi, Phoenix!), or simply forgot to lose games — teams that are reasonably expected to make it to the Conference Finals. While it's fun to arbitrarily root for any given eighth seed to take down the heavy favorite, playoff upsets are rare enough that it's pretty easy to figure out which team is the real deal.
We're not going to be talking about the Knicks or the Bobcats, is what I'm trying to say. No. Instead, these are the teams that definitively have a shot at the 2014 Larry O'Brien Trophy, with a couple of dark horse candidates that could make some noise if the light is right and they get all the friendly calls and all the friendly rolls.
Of course, things could change. The NBA could disband over the increased use of sleeved jerseys. Adam Silver could turn into a pumpkin. The Knicks could start being managed competently. Far-out things always happen in the league, so here's a reminder that this is a look at some teams in February and figuring out where they'll be in June. Bring some salt. Sell your Carmelo jersey (last one, I swear).

Darwen teen in market for bright future
4:22pm Monday 28th April 2014 in News By Dan Clough, Reporter
A DARWEN teenager has given the town's market a rebrand for its soon-to-launch website.
Darwen Aldridge Community Academy head boy Harry Eastham has designed a logo for the market after pitching his idea to bosses.
It was the latest in a string of impressive achievements for the 16-year-old, of Kings Drive, Hoddlesden, who already runs his own business, Onyx Media, from DACA's Entrepreneurship Bridge.
The logo features a fingerprint shaped as the market's iconic clock tower with a heart at its centre, depicting its uniqueness at the heart of the town.
Harry said: "I was given a challenging brief as the logo needed to be attractive to both young and old, giving the markets a fresh look but also retaining the history.
"I knew that a full brand was needed rather than just a logo and so created a new identity for the market.
"It was a fantastic experience and I learned a lot through the process.
"Presenting my ideas to traders and management I learned what questions clients will ask and how to incorporate feedback to my work.
"I was very happy that they were so delighted with the result and being given the chance to incorporate it into their new website is brilliant."
Katherine Taylor, from DACA-based Darwen Creates, which helps youngsters into business and offers support and guidance, said: "Harry is already advising and working with businesses and older students and he is only 16. With this he knew it wasn't just about creating a logo but creating the visual image of a brand and that is what he is really good at.
"He has a real natural talent for this."
Darwen Markets manager Gwen Sangster said: "We had the idea to invite one of the students from DACA to produce the logo for us as we wanted to engage with local youngsters and involve them in the process.
"We were very impressed with what Harry came up with, so much so he has been involved with the design of the entire website.
"Harry is a young man with a very bright future."
The new website has been put together by Blackburn Life Media's Ian Holmes.
He said: "Harry has a natural aptitude for graphic design and he is certain to turn this skill into a great career.
"We were so impressed with Harry that we have offered him an opportunity to work with our creative team at Blackburn Life Media on some similar projects during the school summer holidays."

The whole point of the story is.... the logo and yet you don't show it. If the website isn't available then it is pointless doing the article. Lost audience! I don't quite understand what benefit a website would be to a town market! A webpage - yes but to be honest just for the sake of it.

The lack of hygienic sanitation facilities in slums is a primary cause of 1.5 million child deaths each year; improved sanitation facilities could reduce diarrheal deaths in young children by more than a third. The Kibera Working Group, a collaboration of University of Denver faculty and graduate students, Nairobi-based water and sanitation company Ecotact, and the Rotary Clubs of Denver Southeast and Langata-Nairobi is working toward the goal of improved sanitation facilities in the Kibera slum of Nairobi, Kenya.
The team believes that the high failure rate among water and sanitation (WATSAN) projects in the developing world has much to do with settling for the construction of facilities as the desired outcome instead of focusing on improving health outcomes and sustaining operations through a framework that integrates hygiene, governance and business planning. The team's model for Kibera relies on specific innovations in facilities management, governance, and hygiene promotion that should constitute a replicable minimum standard for sustainable activity.

Over eight million cycle rickshaws are used daily in India, but most rickshaw drivers are too poor to own their own vehicles, instead renting them daily at a significant percentage of their income. The Rickshaw Bank (TRB), an Indian nonprofit, is challenging this model, making its own rickshaws that drivers can pay for on an installment plan, gaining ownership of the rickshaw in about one year.
This team is working with TRB to improve the rickshaws being sold. Within the extreme cost constraint of $230 per rickshaw, they have made a number of incremental improvements to the current model's efficiency and safety, including an emergency rear braking system and a redesigned frame that weighs fifteen pounds less. Ongoing projects include a gearing system (current rickshaws are single-speed), a luggage rack for passengers, and head- and taillights. They are also working on more radical changes, such as the addition of an electric assist with regenerative braking.

Roughly half the population of Guatemala lives on less than two dollars a day, with the majority of rural households making a living through subsistence agriculture. At the same time, the country depends entirely on unsustainable energy sources to power the economy, importing all of its fossil fuel while most rural households use firewood as their primary cooking fuel.
To address the dual issues of poverty and environmental degradation, this team is developing briquettes made from the locally available Jatropha plant to meet rural families' cooking fuel needs. Fuel briquettes are an environmentally friendly substitute for expensive or unsustainable fuel sources and can be produced at low cost using manual technology and free raw materials—in this case, Jatropha seedstock waste left over from the production of biodiesel. The team is partnering with TechnoServe, a Guatemalan NGO that has been creating biodiesel from Jatropha since 2006.

Respiratory failure is a leading cause of infant morbidity and mortality in the developing world. Conditions that compromise respiratory function, including prematurity, birth asphyxia, and infection account for a large percentage of the 4.9 million neonatal deaths that occur annually in developing countries. In order to decrease infant mortality, there is a need for appropriate, durable, low-cost, high-functioning equipment to treat infants and small children with respiratory distress.
This team is developing a low-cost ventilation system for use in developing countries. It is a continuous positive airway pressure system (CPAP), which works by maintaining positive airway pressure during spontaneous breathing, increasing lung volume at the end of exhalation, preventing the collapse of the airway structure and improving oxygenation. The device helps to keep a baby's lungs fully inflated so he or she can breathe naturally.
Duke University
Medici develops innovative devices to restore control to women suffering from urinary incontinence (UI). Twenty-eight million Americans suffer from UI, and most see little improvement in their conditions despite $20 billion spent annually on this problem. The Medici solution is a convenient, non-invasive device that is simple to use and effectively prevents embarrassing leakage. Medici's device in development is a simple means for patients with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) to control leakage arising from episodic stress. Such stress events are short in duration and exert high-pressure on the abdomen, such as from coughing, sneezing or exercising.
The Medici device resembles a self-catheter and comprises a series of physiologically controlled valves that achieve control by opening under low pressure from the bladder and by closing in response to the short, high-pressure bursts associated with SUI. Convenience is another key benefit, since the Medici device will be replaced weekly by the patient at home, greatly improving upon current treatments that require multiple replacements daily, often in public restrooms.

Malnutrition is a widespread problem in Mali, with 38% of the population suffering from chronic malnutrition and 15% suffering from acute malnutrition. Eighty-one percent of children under age five and at least 67% of women are anemic and in one form or another. This tragedy is compounded by the fact that, each year, the country wastes enough rice to meet the annual needs of at least 580,000 people and only 19% of land suitable for irrigation is currently cultivated. With continued population growth, demand for rice will continue to rise and render the current model of rice production and distribution increasingly untenable.
To combat these problems, Malo Traders LLC is developing a cross-cultural solution in which rice grown by small-scale farmers is purchased, stored, and fortified in a socially, environmentally, and financially sustainable manner. The team is currently partnering with GrainPro, the inventor of an innovative hermitic storage system that does not require the use of chemicals to maintain quality and safety. To fortify rice in a culturally appropriate way, they are utilizing PATH's Ultra Rice® technology, in which fortified rice is mixed with regular white rice to make it nearly identical in smell, taste and texture. The ultimate idea is to sell fortified rice at a cheaper price than imported and locally grown non-fortified rice, boosting output, improving quality, and helping Mali maintain political stability by meeting the basic nutritional needs of its citizens, creating jobs, and turning it into the rice-exporting country that it should be.

Kotick Declares Call of Duty "By Far The Largest Console Franchise Of This Generation," Ghosts Sells Over $1 Billion Into Retail
Posted on Wednesday, November 6 @ 08:24:42 Eastern by Alex_Osborn
Call of Duty: Ghosts has sold over $1 billion into retail for the game's launch, Activision has revealed.
Sadly, the publisher has not provided information on how many of those copies have actually been sold to consumers, so the game's level of success still remains a mystery. However, that hasn't stopped Activision CEO Bobby Kotick from praising the franchise. Here's what he had to say regarding the launch of Ghosts:
Could Activision be holding off on revealing sell-through numbers because it didn't manage to surpass Grand Theft Auto V's day one sales of $800 million? There's a good chance Kotick is waiting to reveal specific numbers once the next-gen versions have hit retailers as well.

Filmmaker Ted Woods sets the record straight in White Wash, a documentary that reveals the long and strong history of the sport, tells how it became identified as the game of blond and blue-eyed surfer boys and girls and showcases the achievements of non-white surfers whose performances have been nothing short of magnificent and record-setting.
Surfers Past and Present
Of course, that assumption is ridiculous. A point proved time and again in White Wash by many black surfers, including Sal Masekela, Michael Green, Rick Blocker and others who appear in the film. All love the sport, have excelled at it and have taken strong stands against the stereotyping that would prevent them and others from becoming and being recognized as great surfers.
The film makes a strong argument for greater recognition of black surfers, perhaps to be claimed through creation of a black surfers association.

To make Blazer fans feel better in these dark days of roster meltdown, I've decided to examine what would have happened if things had transpired differently in the past. As it turns out, there's little to regret.
What if: the Blazers had won the rights to draft Hakeem Olajuwon?
On his drive from Houston to Portland, Olajuwon gets sidetracked in Eugene at a party hosted by author Ken Kesey. The revelry with Hell's Angels, Hunter Thompson, and Tim Leary has such an effect on Hakeem that he renounces his austere Muslim faith and becomes an everything-o-holic. Inside of two years, Olajuwon is ruled medically incapable of playing, due to chronic nighttime substance-abuse tremors known as the "Dream Shakes."
What if: the Blazers had drafted Michael Jordan instead of Sam Bowie?
Despite Jordan's eye-popping abilities, Nike refuses to sign a huge endorsement contract with a small market star, not to mention one so close to home, and one so familiar to Nike executives, that CEO Phil Knight steadfastly insists "I've never giving money to such a colossal jerk." Desperate for media attention, Jordan shocks the world by defecting to the USSR, where his image appears on the sides of countless gray high-rises, proclaiming, Будь как Майк! Будьте счастливы с длинной линиидля обуви! ("Be like Mike! Be happy with the long line for shoes!") After two seasons, incompetent Soviet medical treatment exacerbates Jordan's nascent injuries to the point where he opts for reassignment as a sewage supervisor in Vladivostok. You can still see him there gambling at the local casinos and ogling the local strippers. He weighs 350 pounds and hacks up phlegm a lot; it's sad. On the bright side, onetime peer Charles Barkley is so appalled by Jordan's repellent condition that he becomes an international role model for physical fitness, preventing childhood obesity everywhere.
What if: the Blazers had gotten a young Arvydas Sabonis?
His ball-handling ability, brilliant passing skills, and balletic finishing around the basket win Sabonis not only the Rookie of the Year award, but the hearts of Cold War Americans bored with lame anti-Russian movies like "Rocky IV" and "Top Gun." Accordingly, the careers of Stallone and Cruise are stopped in their tracks, and neither is ever heard from again. Yet the success of Sabonis in America creates a chain reaction of escalating international tension, culminating in a freak DefCon 5 scenario where a teenager's prankish hack of Pentagon computers results in NORAD mistaking the Blazer team plane for an incoming ICBM. The flawless "Star Wars" anti-missile system incinerates the plane, saving the world from nuclear holocaust but tragically killing the team on board. TrailBlazer fans consider this a bad trade.
What if: the Blazers hadn't blown a 600-point lead against LA in the final quarter of the WCF game in 2000?
I'd be married to Rachel Weisz. There would never have been any "Harry Potter" books since no author could have imagined the rise of Voldemort. Each dream and hope you'd ever had before or since would have come true. God would have revealed Herself to humanity, stopped global warming, and fixed the NBA's competitive balance issues. This one's best not to think about. It will depress you.
What if: the Blazers had drafted Kevin Durant?
Durant and Brandon Roy never get along, competing for scoring chances and overall Alpha Dog status. The rivalry explodes into fisticuffs after a road game up north, when Durant insults Roy's hometown by saying "the only good thing about Seattle is the view from the ferry." Emerald City residents respond en masse by inviting Durant to an all-expenses paid vacation there during the offseason after his rookie year. Durant falls in love, and makes his wishes to play for the Sonics, alongside budding superstar Greg Oden, publicly known. Excitement about this prospect causes the city of Seattle to challenge the NBA's antitrust exemption in court and win, subsequently buying the team as a municipal property and building a new, state-of-the-art arena that provides the best fan experience in sports (thanks to virtual-reality halftime "massage artists" designed by Microsoft.) Durant and Oden lead the team to 13 straight titles. This so incenses Paul Allen that he buys the entire U.S. political system and installs himself as Supreme Overlord, beginning a 1000-year reign of terror during which the playing of basketball is banned under penalty of public disembowelment. Curiously, however, the Seahawks still stink.
So, you see? Things mostly worked out for the best after all.

Who saw Jesus first?
Matt 28:9; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:15-18; John 20:14; 1 Cor 15:3-5
- The three women (Matthew 28:9)--"And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him."
- Mary Magdalene (Mark 16:9)--"Now after He had risen early on the first day of the week, He first appeared to Mary Magdalene, from whom He had cast out seven demons."
- The Disciples (Luke 24:15-18)--"And it came about that while they were conversing and discussing, Jesus Himself approached, and began traveling with them. 16 But their eyes were prevented from recognizing Him. 17And He said to them, "What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you are walking?" And they stood still, looking sad. 18And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"
- Mary (John 20:14)--"When she had said this, she turned around, and *beheld Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus."
- Cephas and the twelve (1 Corinthians 15:3-5)--"For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve."
This is no contradiction at all. The answer is simple. The first one to see Jesus after His resurrection was Mary Magdalene just as it says (Mark 16:9). Then the others saw Him afterward. The context of the other verses don't present any problem at all.
Please see the Resurrection Chronology page to see how the verses fit together.

About three months ago, the St. Anne's luxury loft complex collapsed while under construction. The development has been fraught with controversy, drawing heat for a collapse of the building's fifth floor and an architectural feature on the side of the building resembling a large cross.
Many who live there feel they were rushed into a complex that wasn't ready to house them. Now they're saying the owners of the luxury lofts made quite a few promises they haven't kept.
Rob Tutsock lives at the St. Anne luxury lofts. He says now, there are new problems.
"They just asked us to renew and they raised my rent to $950 for a studio apartment that doesn't even have the amenities of a $500 apartment right down the road," said Tutsock.
People living here say they are paying top dollar and say they don't have nearly what they were promised they would.
"The lovely gymnasium. As you can see in here, they've got some carpet and some mirrors. I don't know how much working out I could get done in here," said Tutsock. "The planning of the building itself is pretty poor. I have a chandelier in my room and when I open my cupboard, the chandelier hits the cupboard. I had a fixture fall from the ceiling and land in my bed."
He says the list goes on.
East Lansing Development Analyst Tim Schmitt says regardless of the roof collapse, the building still wouldn't have been done before tenants moved in.
"Common areas and shared spaces don't get done until last, because they want to make sure they have the residential portion buttoned up as quick as possible," said Schmitt.
Tutsock says he feels like he's paying for luxuries he has yet to see and has a message to send to potential tenants.
"I honestly feel like I'm being robbed. My advice to anyone thinking about living here is don't. That's it."
6 News reached out to DTN, the managing company, but they referred us to the building company and said all construction problems should be dealt with by them.

Hi GreatNate1312,
There is no need for you to scan the email attachments manually before you open it. Norton AntiVirus Email Scanning verifies that email and attachments are free from viruses and other malicious code as you download them from your Internet service provider (ISP). This will be performed as a background task when the emails gets downloaded to your computer(before you view/open it). Also, the Auto-Protect protects your computer from viruses and other malicious code by automatically scanning any email attachment file that is opened, moved, or copied on your hard drive.
The incoming email scanning feature, which is monitoring port 110 for incoming email, saves the messages in a single file in Windows temporary folder and scans the file for viruses. Once it has determined that the email is virus-free, it responds to the server and allows the download of the email. If any threat is detected in the email or it's attachment, then that one is blocked from entering your computer itself.
Even disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses that are distributed as email attachments. The Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect scans all the incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including email and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of this.
Note: This happens only if you download the emails using any of the Email clients such as Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Thunderbird or Windows mail that uses the Standard Pop3 and SMTp ports. Email Scanning does not work with AOL or Web-based email programs, such as Yahoo or Hotmail. The email databases used by Web-based email services, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Juno, and AOL, reside on a remote server. Email Scanning can only scan email messages that exist on the hard drive. Because of this, email Scanning cannot scan email for those Web-based email programs.

Yogeesh- I have heard that Yahoo email uses Norton as a scanning mechanism?
That's correct.
Sorry "yogeesh" for jumping in here. :P
No probs, Floating_Red..
Yahoo! Mail's built-in Norton AntiVirus system by Symantec protects you from dangerous computer viruses that may be transmitted by email. All incoming attachments are scanned upon request to uncover any virus threat and to clean up infected attachments. All outgoing email is scanned for extra protection. This will be performed via the Yahoo server and hence it is more secure than other Web based emails. Also, this is set as default by Yahoo and there is no way that you can disable it manually from Yahoomail profile or Web page.
Since this one is solved, let's close it!
Thanks for participating.

Messaging aside, all of the White House departures come at a time when the administration is beset by a series of assaults attacking its very competency. The backdrop to this scene is the coming release of Bob Woodward's book "Obama's Wars," an expose on the administration's first 18 months. Excerpts have already appeared in the Washington Post, and while the White House says it is pleased with the portrayal of the president, others say the early returns seem to portray an administration out of its depth.
Obama's problems have gotten so bad that even Jimmy Carter felt compelled to come to his defense. Unfortunately for Obama, it was to accuse all his critics of being fueled, not by honest objections to his policies, but rather by racism. Already under criticism for its use in overplaying the race card, the White House now has to assure already skeptical voters that their opposition to Obama doesn't necessarily qualify them for membership in the Ku Klux Klan.
Carter then offered his own helpful comparison of the Obama White House to his own administration. In an interview promoting his newly released book "White House Diary," Carter said, "I overburdened Congress with an array of controversial and politically costly requests. Looking back, I am struck by how many unpopular objectives we pursued."
In an apparent tag-team effort, Carter's Vice-President, Walter Mondale, told The New Yorker magazine that there were striking similarities between both administrations saying, "We're going through this drama again. November might be a disaster." The last thing Obama needs at this point is to have his presidency compared to what is widely believed to be the worst in modern times. When that happens, it's probably time to acknowledge the true depths of your problem.
Now, to be evenly balanced, it doesn't require Jimmy Carter or Walter Mondale to point out the parallels between the two administrations when the handwriting on the wall is clear to any person who either lived through the Carter years or who possesses a modicum of historical knowledge. The similarities between the two are somewhat eerie.
Both men share personal characteristics of iciness and a penchant for being thin-skinned; both were swept into office on a wave of transformational politics that promised to change the tenor of current political dialogue; both inherited bad economies with policy solutions that inflamed the problem; and both men have a common need to scapegoat their own failings.
However, with so much in common, there is one difference between Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama. Carter faced a 1980 primary challenger to his run at a second term in the guise of the late Senator Edward Kennedy. While a potential opponent has not yet risen, the fallout from the impending election disaster may leave Obama confronted by that painful reality.
If Democrats truly crash in November and lose the House and/or the Senate, the finger pointing will begin in earnest. At the top of the blame list will be Barack Obama, who will need to answer for his part in the electoral debacle. If he does desire another term and makes a run in 2012, there will be no shortage of challengers willing to take a run at the crown.
For Obama, this threat could come from either wing of the Democratic Party: Centrists appalled at the runaway progressive ideology enmeshed in the party and liberals angered at what they perceive to be Obama's limited commitment to enact their full agenda,
Of course, all of his political fortunes can still turn around. Two years to recover is an eternity in American politics and much will depend on how Republicans handle their anticipated electoral success and who heads their 2012 presidential ticket. Still, for a president who entered office with near stratospheric approval numbers and a party firmly in control of all levers of government, the plummeting of his political fortunes has been quite breathtaking.
If things continue at this pace, Barack Obama may have one last final thing in common with Jimmy Carter: a one-term presidency.

So easy, so tasty! Used to make this for my kids years ago. You can use a microwaved or baked potato in place of tater tots and sliced ham for bacon. Needs a picture to inspire people to try this..it's great!

You can transfer your domain from another registrar to your Wix account. To transfer your domain, verify that at least 60 days have passed since you registered or last transferred your domain and make sure that your domain is unlocked.
Checklist to Review Before Transferring Your DomainBefore transferring your domain to Wix, make sure:
The domain suffix you are using is supported.
Currently, you can transfer domains with the following extensions: .com, .org, .net, .biz., .info, .co, .guru, .email, .expert, and .tv.
Your domain is not protected by privacy (if you purchased privacy protection, you need to disable it for the duration of the transfer)
You can check with your current domain host
The email address for the domain admin/registrant is your own email address, since we will send a confirmation email to that address once the transfer is initiated.
You can check the email address associated with your domain in the domain settings of your current host, or perform a Whois check.
Your domain is older than 60 days
Transferring Your Domain to Wix
Please make sure you reviewed the checklist above before proceeding.
To transfer your domain to Wix:
1. From Wix.com, click My Account.
2. Next to Manage Premium, click Domains.
3. Click Use a Domain You Already Own.
4. From the page that opens, type your domain in the field. Click Next.
You can currently transfer only domains with the following extensions: .com, .org, .net, .biz. and .info.
5. From the pop-up window that opens, next to Authorization Code, type or paste your authorization code.
You will have to obtain an authorization code from your current registrar to transfer your domain to Wix. You can obtain an authorization code by logging into your domain registrar account and requesting an authorization code. The authorization code will be sent by email to the primary contact listed for your domain. To learn more about how to get your authorization code, choose your domain host from the dropdown menu in the pop-up window.
6. Click Continue.
7. From the domain name transfer screen, under Step 1: Public or Private Registration, mark the radio dial next to Public Registration or Private Registration. Click Next.
If you don't want your contact details to appear in the WHOIS domain information records, choose Private Registration.
Important! You will not be able to change this setting (this is true for domain registration in general, not just with Wix).
Note that your transferred domain will not inherit the registration setting from your old registrar. Your previous setting will remain until the end of your old contract and then transfer to the setting that you select here.
If you purchase the option to make your information private, you can temporarily turn the privacy protection option on and off but this would result in a temporary change only. In other words, if you choose to keep your information private when purchasing, the option will always remain a part of your domain purchase, even when renewing. Conversely, if you don't choose the option to make your information private when purchasing, it will always remain public and you will not have the option to change it to private, even when renewing.
8. Under Step 2: Service Term, choose the length of time that you would like to register your domain for. Click the bar above 1 Year, 2 Years or 3 Years to choose the length of your contract. Click Next.
The length of time that you select here is in addition to the time that you have remaining with your current registrar.
9. Under Step 3: Review Domain Contact Information, fill in the fields. Click Next.
If there are already details in the Registrant Contact fields and you would like to update them, click Change in the upper right corner.
What contact information should you list in your domain registration?
Registrant Contact: the person or company who is the licensee of the domain name and has the right to use, sell or remove a domain name.
Tech Contact: the person responsible for the technical aspects of maintaining the domain, such as updating the domain records.
Admin Contact: the representative of the Registrant Contact. This person is authorized by the Registrant Contact to make any relevant changes to the domain name.
10. Under Step 4: Billing Information, fill in your credit card details. Click Submit Purchase.
PayPal is currently not a supported method of payment.
11. From the success page, click Go Back to My Account.
Your domain appears in your domain list with the status Pending Verification.
Note that during this process a few important emails will be sent to the email address that you had indicated when signing up with your old registrar.
It may take up to 24 hours for Wix to verify your domain transfer.
After Wix verifies your transfer, you will get an email from your current registrar approving your transfer request. Your domain status will then change to Pending Registry Approval.
Verify that the email address for the domain admin/registrant is your own email address, as we will send a confirmation email to that address once the transfer is initiated. This email will expire after 5 days, so we recommend that you confirm the domain transfer as soon as possible.You can check your domain admin/registrant e-mail address(es) via the WHOIS database here.
You'll receive an email from firstname.lastname@example.com, asking you to confirm your transfer request. The subject of the email is "DOMAIN NAME TRANSFER - Initial Authorization for Registrar". You must open this email (check your spam folder) and click Confirm within 5 days after the transfer request. If you do not confirm the email, the transfer process cannot be completed.
It may take up to seven days for the Registry to approve your transfer.
Obtaining an Authorization Code
You can obtain an authorization code from your current registrar by logging into your domain registrar account and requesting an authorization code. The authorization code will generally be sent by email to the primary contact listed for your domain.
Obtaining an Authorization Code from GoDaddy
Click here for more information about obtaining an authorization code from GoDaddy.
Domain Transfer Failures
If your domain transfer failed, you can simply initiate the transfer process again. Please make sure to first review the checklist provided here.
You can find a list of reasons for why the domain transfer failed here.
Please note that you will be refunded for the payment you made to initiate the transfer if it fails. The refund will appear within 20 business days.
What is the Difference Between Transferring and Connecting Your Domain to Wix?
Manage your domain and your site in the same place! When you transfer your domain to Wix, it means that you will be able to manage your DNS records from your Wix account. This includes connecting your e-mail, pointing your domain to a different IP address, connecting subdomains, etc.
Once the domain transfer has been processed, Wix will become the domain host, which means that domain renewal will be done from your Wix account, and not with your previous domain host.
Alternatively, you can connect your domain name to your site. To do so please visit our Domain Portal. Note that the connection may take up to 72 hours to take effect.

Now your campaign has become successful, and you have more players than you have events for them to play. What do you do? You find some new GMs!
There are two primary concerns when adding new GMs. The first is the look and feel of the campaign world. You want to make sure the new GM does not introduce unsuitable elements. If your fantasy campaign is meant to be low magic, be very sure the new GM does not give powerful magic items for completing an adventure. The second concern is maintaining the quality of the events. A convention campaign starts with a rather close knit group of people, who probably consider themselves pretty good GMs. Do not ruin your campaign by introducing new GMs that are less skilled than the rest of the group.
Before you start adding new GMs, you need to determine rules for adding new GMs. Even if the rule is "Go ahead and run games, and if you're a jerk, I'll tell you to stop". Anyone coming into the campaign needs to know exactly what is expected of them. They also need to know what actions will get them removed from the campaign. This does not necessarily need to be written down, but I would suggest that it be part of the Campaign Constitution. If the rules are on paper nobody can claim not to know them.
There are dozens of ways to determine if you want a prospective GM to run games in your campaign. Here are a few:
Previewing - Play in a game run by the prospective GM. This lets you determine their skill as a GM, and the general power level of game they prefer to run. Plus, if you are bored, you know not to let them run games in your campaign!
Adventure Review - A GM who is part of the Campaign must review any adventure the new GM wants to run. This ensures that the adventure has the correct feel, and make sure it meets your ethics guidelines.
Trial Period - After the first few games, the existing GMs decide whether to allow the new GM to keep running games. The existing GMs must interview players or play in the games themselves to see how the new GM works out. This gives a broad experience to judge the new GM and gets them running games right away.
Mentors - A current GM works with the new GM, performing several of the other listed functions. The mentor works with the new GM to design and create the adventures, and reviews them before they are run.
Voting - The existing GMs vote on whether to admit a new GM. This gives everyone a voice, but not all existing GMs may know the new GM.
When we created Davenford we never thought about adding new GMs. After two years, two people asked to join, and we were caught completely off guard. We instituted a mentoring system with a trial period and a vote after one convention. The mentor worked with the new GM to set up their section of the setting and design their games. As many GMs as possible attended games run by the new GM to rate their performance. After one convention of running Davenford games, the current GMs who were familiar with the new GM would vote whether the new GM should continue to run Davenford games. All of the applicants were good GMs, but mentoring was necessary to guide them to the correct feel of the campaign. We did not have a formal Campaign Constitution, so a person had to teach them the style.
Once you start to add GMs, you will very likely find that you need to remove one. If the GM breaks convention rules about behavior or abuses a player in any way, you do not want them associated with your campaign. If they break the rules of the setting or go against the ethics statement in the Campaign Constitution they should be warned first and let go if they continue to damage the setting. Finally, if the GM fails to draw players they do not help the campaign and should be let go to run other games.
Getting a GM to stop running games in your campaign can be much more difficult than getting them to start. Unless you apply for a trademark (a topic I do not plan to cover here) you will not have any legal means of forcing the person to stop using the name of your campaign. All you can really do is ask them to stop, and ask the convention organizers to not allow them to use the name of your campaign with their games.
There are three things you must do to remove a GM from your campaign. First, you must notify the GM well before the convention that they should no longer run campaign games. Do not inform them the day before the convention after they spend hours creating campaign events. Second, you must give the reasons that they are being expelled. If you explained when the GM started what sorts of actions would cause problems, there should be no surprises in this. Third, you must inform the convention organizers that the GM has been expelled and why. This is mainly a courtesy, but it can also be helpful if the GM tries to run games under the name of the campaign after you ask them to leave.
Since Davenford never had to expel a GM, I will give a personal example. I once attended a group as a new player, and things went badly. (I made some decisions that I knew were bad ideas, but I thought were in keeping with the character I was given. I seriously damaged the campaign.) Before the next game, the GM contacted me and said that the campaign was being put on hold due to schedule conflicts. I learned through a mutual friend that I had been voted out.
I have no problem with being voted out, but I was very concerned about not being given the real reason. I will admit that it is possible that I am a jerk and need to change, but if I do not know exactly what I did wrong, I can not change my behavior. I never did learn why they did not want me in that game, and I have been uncomfortable around the GM ever since.
It is vitally important to let your GMs with problems know exactly why they are asked to leave. If they do not know the problem, they can never fix it.
Adding new GMs gracefully is imperative to the long-term existence of your campaign. New minds bring new ideas and make your campaign more rich and diverse. Plan early to add GMs, and look among your player base for those who may want to help.

@deelabeau @dialtaapril magic and trespassing! #comingsoon
#Model: @deelabeau #MUA: @dialtaapril #PHOTOGRAPHY / #HAIR BY @tonyarts :) coming soon!!! #couture #quarry #dress #hifashion #editorial @chrisniari #chrisniari
@dialtaapril sneak peak at today just out of camera raw ;) untouched
Here is my photoshoot with Vitali Graf, who I found on Model Mayhem. Vitali is very experienced and has done a few shoots before.
With this shoot I went for two different looks for editing which one was more cool and hard, the other was warm and soft.
@charistalbot shoot on Friday photos coming soon. MUA: @kittykerry_mua HAIR: moi 😈
Some behind the scene photos of a shoot I did with CHARIS TALBOT PHOTOGRAPHY. I love working with Charis because she always knowns what she wants and is able to make the model at ease. Plus she used to model so she always demonstrates and also explains why she wants that desired look.
The shoot was very regal so KITTY KERRY who was in charge of make up on the day was very excited because she got to make her looks dimensional and elegant. Kitty is a great MUA I have worked with her a few times now. She is very playful and is a expert at what she does. Very good at bridal looks as well.
VIVIEN ROSE GSTR is actually from Austria very attractive girl and lovely long hair which was great to style because it was easy to tame and to do what you wanted to do. Viv face looked great in the end result pictures and she understood Charis directions perfectly. A great model!
The shoot was for a clothing company which specialises in Alt Bridal dresses.
It was so cold on the day but the hair stayed in place with little bit help of the four braids on the sides to control hair and the curls were set before hand and played with to make into two big side curls. The second look was back combed on the sides then smoothed, then braided a inch then put into pigtails. The second look really reminded me of Nelly Furtado's Folklore album days.
Stayed tuned to be the first to see my Gold Braids I will be making for my own shoot I will be taken on.
If you want any advice on looks for a occasion just PM on my Facebook account @tonyarts & @anthonysimpsonphotography

RadarOnline reports that the police arrived about seven minutes later and discovered it was false alarm. Sherri was once was on the receiving end of a rape threat via Twitter last June and took legal action against her would be attacker.
I think Sherri should calm down and think long and hard about bringing a gun into her home. Guns are not the answer. Why not get a better security system or better yet hire security.

hacked off
<jargon> (Analogous to "pissed off") Said of system administrators who have become annoyed, upset, or touchy owing to suspicions that their sites have been or are going to be victimised by crackers, or used for inappropriate, technically illegal, or even overtly criminal activities. For example, having unreadable files in your home directory called "worm", "lockpick", or "goroot" would probably be an effective (as well as impressively obvious and stupid) way to get your sysadmin hacked off at you.

Game 1 of the American League Division Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Boston Red Sox begins Friday at Fenway Park, where the rain and clouds are just now disappearing to make room for sun and afternoon shadows.
The division-winning Sox have home field advantage, so things kick off in Boston rather than at Tropicana Field in a battle of lefties. Jon Lester will take the mound for the Sox against the Rays' Matt Moore. Moore has been phenomenal on the road this season, posting a 2.74 ERA in 16 starts with the Rays going 14-2 in those contests, while Lester, excepting three June outings, has been his old, productive self for much of 2013.
Sox lineup: Ellsbury CF, Victorino RF, Pedroia 2B, Ortiz DH, Napoli 1B, Gomes LF, Saltalamacchia C, Drew SS, Middlebrooks 3B, Lester SP— Alex Speier (@alexspeier) October 4, 2013
The Sox are using a lineup people should be used to by now, with Shane Victorino higher up in the order with a lefty on the mound, and Jonny Gomes patrolling left for the same reason. Will Middlebrooks is hitting ninth, but that's just been his neighborhood since returning to the majors -- he's one of Boston's biggest power threats against southpaws.
#Rays ALDS Game 1 lineup vs. Red Sox: pic.twitter.com/V3UayDkgf6— Tampa Bay Rays (@RaysBaseball) October 4, 2013
The Rays similarly have no surprises here, though seeing Sean Rodriguez somewhere besides the bottom of the order is always jarring for the uninitiated.
Game 1 will begin at 3 pm on Friday, and can be seen on TBS.

McCain's last-minute attack about Iraq
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Sunday, January 27th, 2008 at 5:11 p.m.
On the weekend before the Florida Republican primary, John McCain attacked Mitt Romney on Iraq, bringing one of McCain's signature issues back to the forefront of the campaign.
"Now, one of my opponents wanted to set a date for withdrawal that would have meant disaster," McCain said.
Later, in remarks to reporters, McCain linked Romney's position with that of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
"If we surrender and wave a white flag, like Senator Clinton wants to do, and withdraw, as Governor Romney wanted to do, then there will be chaos, genocide, and the cost of American blood and treasure would be dramatically higher," McCain said.
(We previously examined McCain's "white flag" attack on Hillary Clinton here .)
Romney immediately disputed the accuracy of McCain's remarks.
"That's dishonest, to say that I have a specific date. That's simply wrong," Romney said. "That is not the case. I've never said that."
So did he?
As a source, the McCain campaign points to an interview Romney gave to Good Morning America in April 2007. Interviewer Robin Roberts asked Romney, "Do you believe that there should be a timetable in withdrawing the troops?"
Romney: "Well, there's no question but that the president and Prime Minister al-Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about. But those shouldn't be for public pronouncement. You don't want the enemy to understand how long they have to wait in the weeds until you're going to be gone. You want to have a series of things you want to see accomplished in terms of the strength of the Iraqi military and the Iraqi police and the leadership of the Iraqi government."
Roberts: "So, private? You wouldn't do it publicly because — the president has said flat-out that he will veto anything the Congress passes about a timetable for troop withdrawals. As president, would you do the same?"
Romney: "Well, could you, yeah — well, of course. Could you imagine the setting where during the Second World War we said to the Germans, gee, if we haven't reached the Rhine by this date, we'll go home, or if we haven't gotten this accomplished, we'll pull up and leave? You don't publish that to your enemy, or they just simply lie and wait until that time. So, of course, you have to work together to create timetables and milestones, but you don't do that with the opposition."
So is a withdrawal date a withdrawal date if you don't tell anyone about it?
On the Democratic side of the presidential campaign, where primary voters are generally opposed to the Iraq war, the candidates regularly discuss timelines for withdrawal. Their emphasis has been on when to begin withdrawal, with front-runners Clinton and Barack Obama resisting deadlines for complete withdrawal. It's worth noting that Romney hasn't come close to talking about the kind of withdrawal parameters the Democrats have mentioned.
On the other hand, he's said in debates that he does not envision a permanent presence for the United States in Iraq. In a September debate, Romney said:
"If the surge is working, then we're going to be able to start bringing back our troop levels, slowly but surely, and play more of a support role over time. Ultimately, down the road, I would anticipate that we're not going to have a permanent presence in Iraq."
McCain has said that while high casualty levels over the long term in Iraq are unacceptable to the American public, troops should stay in Iraq as long as needed, comparing the situation with American troops in Japan and Germany. (We checked an attack on McCain about that statement here .)
So McCain and Romney do seem to have genuine policy differences when it comes to withdrawal.
But McCain paraphrases Romney's statements in a way that leaves voters with the impression that Romney advocates a specific date for withdrawal from Iraq, which he does not. When Romney spoke about setting timetables for troop withdrawal it was within the context of meeting benchmarks or goals for progress there.

Not one, not two, but 3 hugs
from Johnny Depp! So here's how it went down. I was interviewing Johnny
regarding his sci-fi thriller 'Transcendence'.
The movie looks at the good, the
bad, the pure evil of what happens when artificial intelligence takes over.
It's a concept most commonly known as Singularity....when computers outsmart
human beings. The movie includes lots of sick people getting a 2nd chance
through the advancement of technology. But what happens when that technology is
taken too far is the focus of Transcendence. Clearly, I've had my own health
battles. I shared with Johnny on how torn I am regarding this topic because had
it not been for technology I probably wouldn't be alive. For those of you who
don't know. I had a fist size brain tumor removed a few months ago. For visuals
and more on my tumor jouney, go to: TrulyJulieChang.com
My interview time with Johnny
was SUPER short, perhaps 2 minutes or so. They stopped rolling the cameras
during what I think was the most beautiful moment of Johnny I've ever seen. As
I got up to leave the room, he chased me down. He gives me a hug and says,
"I'm so glad you're ok." Then, another genuine hug. He stares deeply
into my eyes and says, "I just wanted to tell you that I know what you're
feeling. My mom was diagnosed with a brain tumor recently....and she is also OK
because of modern medicine. She takes a single pill a day and that makes her
At this moment, all of his
handlers, who were just before yelling at me to get out of the room so the next
interview can start...pause. I think we were all floored by his sensitivity.
Despite his enormous fame, Johnny has kept his soul supple. If in the slim slim
slim chance Johnny is reading this...THANK YOU for your healing hugs. I hope
you can vicariously pass along my hugs to your mom.
'Transcendence' opens in theaters Friday, April 18th.

Houston Texans outside linebacker and sack specialist Mario Williams left his team's game against the Oakland Raiders in the first quarter with an undisclosed injury. Williams walked to the locker room just fine. Speculation is that he may have hit his finger on Oakland quarterback Jason Campbell's helmet on a sack.
Williams has been an important part of Houston's success so far this season. Through four games prior to today's, he already has four sacks on the season. Many wondered about Williams' ability to transition into the 3-4 defense run by new defensive coordinator Wade Phillips. So far, he has made that transition with no problem.
His sack on Campbell was his fifth of season. No updates pertaining to his status have been supplied by the Texans as of yet. Keep an eye on this situation as the Raiders have already made it a one point game with an early second quarter field goal.

Here's our picks for tomorrow's TUF 7 Finale on Spike TV. Note, after the bloodbath that was UFC 85, our fearless leader Luke Thomas has elected to "take some time to retool how I do my picks so they get better."
How bad were our picks for UFC 85? This bad:
Luke Thomas: 2/11 (Hughes, Davis, Marquardt, Vera, Tavares, Carneiro, Lambert, Liaudin, Sanchez)
Kid Nate: 5/11 (Hughes, Marquardt, Vera, Tavares, Carneiro, Lambert)
Brent Brookhouse: 4/11 (Hughes, Marquardt, Vera, Rivera, Tavares, Carneiro, Liaudin)
Michael Rome: 4/11 (Hughes, Davis, Marquardt, Vera, Tavares, Carneiro, Lambert)
Nick Thomas: 3/11 (Hughes, Day, Davis, Marquardt, Rivera, Tavares, Carneiro, Lambert)
Leaving our overall standings for the summer at:
Luke Thomas: 13/26 - 50%
Kid Nate: 21/30 - 70%
Brent Brookhouse: 16/30 - 53%
Michael Rome: 19/30 - 63%
Nick Thomas: 17/30 - 57%
Please note that I am the man!
Seriously, I think its pretty much pointless to try to pick fights. The whole point of MMA is because we don't know what's going to happen when two bad ass athletes get in a cage (or a ring) and contend with each other. Be that as it may, picks are fun and here are ours for tomorrow:
Evan Tanner Vs. Kendall Grove
- Kid Nate: The infamous loser leave town match. Both of these guys have had their moments inside the cage but Grove's chin has been ruthlessly exposed in his last two fights. And Tanner's old. I'm going with Tanner over Grove based on a simple calculus: I love watching Tanner fight and have for a decade. I thought Grove acted like a punk on the reality show and I really enjoyed watching him get beat down last time. Tanner by ground and pound in 1.
- Mike Rome: Gosh, I just think Tanner is over the hill. Grove has been knocked out badly twice in a row, but I don't see Tanner having the power to do anything. Going to pick Grove via TKO, round 3.
- Nick Thomas: I see a tough 3 round fight here, but I can't pick against Tanner. Tanner by last minute TKO.
Amir Sadollah Vs. C.B. Dollaway
- Kid Nate: I have to think that C.B. will come in to this fight in better shape. Dollaway by lay and pray in 3.
- Mike Rome: I'm really stoked for this final. I think both of these guys have star potential one day, especially Amir, who is the real cindarella story of the show coming in at 0-0 and beating 4 guys. I think CB will take this though, because I expect him to come in to this fight in better shape, and Amir's takedown defense probably has not improved enough in 2 months to deal with him. CB via decision in what I think should be an excellent fight, and the best final fight in many seasons.
- Nick Thomas: Dollaway won't get caught this time. Dollaway by death?
Diego Sanchez Vs. Luigi Fioravanti
Kid Nate: I think Diego is way over-favored here. Luigi specializes in ugly clinch fights that make everyone look bad. I expect Diego to win but only if the old-school nightmare comes back and he's balls-out aggressive from bell to bell. And not stupid going straight for the takedown with no set-up like he was against Fitch either. Sanchez by UD.
- Mike Rome: This is going to be a one sided slaughter. Diego via TKO, round 1. I'd like to see them put Diego in with Alves after this fight to determine the contender at 170.
- Nick Thomas: I picked Fioravanti to upset Cummo and I'm going to do it again. Why? Because of American Top Team. Upset #1. Fioravanti by decision.
Spencer Fisher Vs. Jeremy Stephens
Kid Nate: Another fight that most are getting wrong. Stephens is big and strong and will take Fisher down and beat on him. Stephens by TKO.
- Mike Rome: I'm a big Jeremy Stephens fan, he has tremendous heart, but I think Spencer Fisher will be too much standing for him. Spencer Fisher via TKO, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Stephens pull it out. Fisher via decision.
- Nick Thomas: Supposedly this is going to be a stand up war. If it is... I'm picking Fisher by experience.
Matt Riddle Vs. Dante Rivera
Kid Nate: Now I'm paying for watching Iron Ring instead of TUF this season. I'm guessing Riddle.
- Mike Rome: I like Riddle, and can't stand watching Rivera, but I think Rivera's experience will win out over Riddle. Rivera via submission, round 2.
- Nick Thomas: Riddle by being bigger, stronger... going to be a close fight though. Riddle by TKO.
Undercard fights are in the extended entry.
Josh Burkman Vs. Dustin Hazelett
Kid Nate: This is a fight I'm really jonesed about. Hazelett shocked a lot of people by giving Koscheck such a stiff challenge and I expect him to do better against Burkman. Hazelett by submission following a beat down on the feet.
- Mike Rome: I don't understand Hazelett as the underdog in this fight, Burkman is a low level gatekeeper at 170 now, and Hazelett has too many weapons. Hazelett via submission, round 3.
- Nick Thomas: I see Burkman keeping this standing up and grinding out a decision. Burkman by decision.
Marvin Eastman Vs. Drew McFedries
Kid Nate: Should be a nasty brawl, but that's what I said about Eastman vs Terry Martin too. McFedries by KO.
- Mike Rome: Drew Mcfedries should rebound from the KO loss to Cote with a KO of his own here. Eastman is no slouch, but I think Mcfedries has too much firepower.
- Nick Thomas: McFedries is bigger and he'll be back with a vengence. Picking McFedries by TKO.
Matt Brown Vs. Matt Arroyo
Kid Nate: Uhh....Arroyo.
- Mike Rome: Matt Brown looks and sounds like a killer, but he doesn't fight that way. Arroyo via submission, round 1.
- Nick Thomas: Rematch here. Brown TKO'd Arroyo in 2006. But I don't think it's going to happen again. Picking Arroyo by submission.
Jeremy Horn Vs. Dean Lister
Kid Nate: Its really too bad that Horn and Tanner are fighting on the same card and still not facing each other. In the old days Horn would've tooled Lister but that was then, this is now. Lister by submission.
- Mike Rome: This is way too neat of a fight for the undercard. Every time I see Horn I think I'm gonna see the old Jeremy Horn, but it never happens, and I've fallen for it enough times. Dean Lister via submission, round 2.
- Nick Thomas: Horn won their first fight and he's going to win their second one. I still can't believe this isn't going to be on the main card. Horn by decision.
Tim Credeur Vs. Cale Yarbrough
- Kid Nate: Credeur by submission.
- Mike Rome: This could end up being an exciting fight. Cale will want to stand, and if Credeur is smart, he'll get it to the ground as fast as he can. Credeur may have won himself a spot in the UFC with his performance and promo on the final TUF 7 episode, and I expect him to solidify that spot with a win. Credeur via submission, round 2.
- Nick Thomas: Tim acutally did pretty good against CB. He'll win against Cale. Credeur by submission.
Rob Yundt Vs. Rob Kimmons
Kid Nate: No idea.
- Mike Rome: This is Kimmons' big chance that he has waited years for, and if the nerves of the opportunity don't get him, I expect him to win this. Kimmons via submission, round 1.
- Nick Thomas: *flips a coin* Kimmons by decision.

UPDATE: Credit Suisse Reiterates Outperform Rating, Raises PT on Nucor Corporation
In a report published Wednesday, Credit Suisse reiterated its Outperform rating on Nucor Corporation (NYSE: NUE), and raised its price target from $50.00 to $55.00.
Credit Suisse noted, "With everyone's constant focus on the near-term minutia of quarterly earnings in a still difficult steel market environment, it is easy to forget the bigger picture, and the core investment thesis for the shares of Nucor. Bottom line, we believe NUE represents the single best way to play a multi-year recovery in the U.S. economy, given 1) its significant exposure to non-residential construction (which we expect to turn sometime over the next 24 months), 2) its strategic focus on cost control (DRI project, Encana JV), and margin expansion (SBQ expansions, Berkeley, Skyline) and 3) its best in class balance sheet (reducing debt, returning capital to shareholders). We believe near-term results do not reflect the true normalized earnings power of the company (which we believe is at least $5 in a mid-cycle world)."
Nucor Corporation closed on Tuesday at $47.04.

For Wherever Life Takes You

and mobile websites.
We have 9 Edinburgh business hotels spread across the Scottish capital. Wherever you need to be in the city, we can make sure you're close by.
Edinburgh is a popular tourist spot as well as economic Scottish hub. Make sure you find the time to take in some of the attractions. If the weather's good, then Arthur's Seat is a must visit. This is the main peak of a spectacular group of mountains and the climb is well worth it for the views across the city. Edinburgh Castle is another sight you simply must see, followed up by a wander through the Old Town's historic Royal Mile which is essential.
Edinburgh's 30+ museums include the National Museum of Scotland, the Scotland National Gallery and the Scotch Whiskey Experience. After all that culture and history, you'll have earned a shopping trip and Edinburgh is happy to oblige. As well as the numerous independent shops and boutiques that populate the city's streets, there are also a number of bigger shopping centres. St James Shopping Centre is the most central of those, housing a number of high street brand stores.
Edinburgh is home to two rival Scottish football teams – Hearts and Hibernian. The city is also where you will find Murrayfield Stadium, home of Edinburgh Rugby Union team (and where the Scottish national rugby union team often plays).
The Scottish capital has its own international airport as well as excellent rail connections to other cities in Scotland and to London, Newcastle, Leeds and other major UK cities. The city is located on the A1 road, connecting the city with the North East of England, North Yorkshire and ultimately London.
Make the most of your stay here by staying at one of our Edinburgh Business Hotels. We can make you right at home in the heart of the Scottish capital.
