"List price" is the suggested retail price provided to us by our vendors. We make no representation that a substantial number of these products have been sold or offered for sale at the list price. Actual retail prices in your area may be substantially different. Since we sell products on a national basis, it is not possible to know if our merchandise is sold at list price in any particular location or at any particular time. "You Save" reflects the difference between our price and the vendor provided list price shown on our sites. Since the list price may be different than the actual retail prices in your area, you may not actually realize a savings of this amount.
Manufacturers sometimes ask that retailers not display a price if it drops below a certain amount. The "Click here to see Lowest Price" message indicates that the price of the item is so low that the manufacturer requested that it not be advertised (that is, displayed). In a brick-and-mortar store, you would probably have to ask a salesperson what the price of the product is. At eCOST, by clicking on "Click here to see Lowest Price" you are essentially asking to see the price, at which point we show it to you.

Eintracht Frankfurt v VfB Stuttgart: Preview
Stuttgart will need to put their Europa League disappointment behind them fast as they return to Bundesliga action in Frankfurt tomorrow, aware that the bottom of the table is closer than the top.
A 3-1 defeat to Lazio in Rome completed a 5-1 aggregate defeat to see Bruno Labbadia's men crash out of Europe in the last-16.
Their focus now turns to the Bundesliga, where poor recent form has seen them fall out of the race for a place in Europe and into risky territory with just nine games of the season to go.
``It's important we now find our feet in the Bundesliga,'' said Labbadia. ``We have had some very tight results in recent weeks without being able to win them and we're still lacking something.
``We have got to get points at all costs.''
The defeat to the Serie A side was an important lesson to Labbadia's men, who had more shots on goal than the Biancoceleste yet still slumped to an emphatic defeat.
``We have got to take out of the game against Lazio that we have got to be stronger and more certain in defence,'' he said.
``And we've got to take our chances better.''
Vedad Ibisevic returned from suspension to face Lazio while Federico Macheda put in one of his best performances for the club so far in an uncustomary position wide left, where Ibrahima Traore could return tomorrow.
Stuttgart will come up against Armin Veh, the coach who last led them to the Bundesliga title in 2007.
``I know Stuttgart very well,'' said the Frankfurt coach. ``They certainly have the aim of being one of the leading sides, which they aren't managing at the moment.
``But it's tough when you are involved in three competitions. Stuttgart are always capable of playing really good football and they have done better away from home this season than at home, so I don't necessarily think it's an advantage that they are coming to us.''
The Eagles have also lost their way a little recently and they dropped out of the top four for the first time all season last weekend.
``That makes it very important for us to win at home again because we want to stick in there at the top,'' added Veh, who has Bamba Anderson back in his squad and in contention for a place.

So I've come to the decision of what we should first read. Everyone is clamoring for that first book, and I have something a little off the beaten path that I unearthed again recently from long-buried boxes of books. It satisfies several requirements for me as we launch into this new concept group...
- The book should have literary merit. I wanted something not merely by a sports figure, but by an established author... and
- I wanted something at least somewhat representing sports.
So in that spirit, you have two weeks to find, acquire and read the following book:
Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod by Gary Paulsen
Your local library should have this book... or if you wish to buy it, here's the link to purchase it from Amazon...
Stay tuned for updates!

By Ray Routhier email@example.com
Staff Writer
Sarah Rabinowitz and Sydney Pearl heart mustaches.
Sarah Rabinowitz, top, and Sydney Pearl, sixth-graders at Falmouth Middle School, are heavily into the mustache craze and say they regularly wear fake staches to school. They own T-shirts, magnets, wallets, duct tape and other items with a mustache theme.

Gordon Chibroski/Staff Photographer
A wide variety of mustache merchandise -- some designed by Might & Main -- is being sold in the Portland Museum of Art gift shop in connection with an exhibit of work by the famous mustachioed artist Winslow Homer and the reopening of Homer's studio on Prouts Neck to public tours. Images of the products are online.
Homer Hat and 'Stache Onesie: Silkscreened onesie, printed here in Portland.
Designed for the PMA by Might & Main. $22
Winslow Homer Nodder (aka Bobblehead): Designed for the PMA by Might & Main.
Homer Hat and 'Stache Stainless Steel Bookmark: Made in the USA by Pink
Tank. Designed for the PMA by Might & Main. $12.95
Winslow's Whiskers: Designed for the PMA by Might & Main. $3.95
Mustache Eraser: produced by Kikkerland. $1
Images of mustaches appear as style elements today on everything from jewelry and gift wrap to drink stirrers and bandages. Here's some of the stache stuff sold at Cool As a Moose stores in Portland, Freeport, Brunswick and Bar Harbor:
Stylish mustaches, $9.99
Mustache candy, $5.99
Mustache bandages, $5.99
Mustache ornament, $6.99
Mustache ice cube tray, $12.99
Mustache and monocle bamboo bag, $9.99
Mustache gift wrap, $4.99
Mustache lollipops, $4.99
Car/fridge mustache magnet, $14.99
The Falmouth Middle School sixth-graders have images of the traditionally male facial embellishments on T-shirts, ink presses, key chains, magnets, wallets, duct tape and, thanks to fake mustaches, their own upper lips.
They can get all that mustache stuff because merchandise makers around the world seriously heart mustaches as well this year. At least, they love the money to be made ($25 for a set of four mustache drink stirrers at Pottery Barn!) in what has become a full-blown mustache merchandise craze.
Go online, go into any Portland gift shop, go to the Maine Mall and even the Portland Museum of Art, and you'll learn what Sarah and Sydney and their middle school classmates have known for a while: The mustache as a style element is a very hot commodity.
"We started joking about mustaches last year, and then we saw some of the stuff in catalogs and thought it was funny," said Sarah, 11, who has made herself a wallet out of mustache duct tape. "Sydney and I started making things with mustaches, and lots of other people did too."
Sydney remembers classmates selling mustache merchandise last year at her school's student store. Soon after that, she bought cookie cutters in mustache shapes at the mall.
Sydney's mom, Jodi Pearl, thought her daughter and friends were relatively isolated in their mustache mania -- until she started seeing stache stuff in her daily life.
"I saw all these kids making mustache things, and I was like, 'What's going on?' " said Pearl. "Then I was in a restaurant and saw these mustache coasters."
As with any fashion trend, the big question is why.
In this case, the answer is big -- as in, there's no quick way to answer. Like many fashion trends, the image of a mustache on merchandise has sort of evolved over the years.
Mustache aficionados say the origins of mustache merchandise mania can probably be traced to the resurgence of actual mustaches a few years ago, after they had been out of favor for years.
Hipsters started growing mustaches because they weren't popular -- which, of course, made them popular. Then lots of groups started "grow a mustache" events as fundraisers.
"I think it traces back about five years, when we saw a rise in mustaches -- they were uncool one day and hip the next. Then they started becoming part of all these charitable movements," said Aaron Perlut, chairman of the American Mustache Institute, a 47-year-old organization dedicated to the promotion of the mustache and mustache-wearer equality.
"As there's been this global effort to bring back the mustache, there's been a lot of media attention to the mustache as fashion and sort of a retro symbol," Perlut said. "Then this trickled down to people creating humor T-shirts and other merchandise, and then bigger stores like Walmart and Target started selling the stuff too."
Trendy mustache stuff for middle schoolers at Walmart? Is that the way to live better?
"We know our customers trust us to have the items they want. ... We offer mustache images on many different items from duct tape to costume jewelry and much more," Debbie Wishon of Walmart Media Relations wrote in an email responding to questions about stache stuff.
Wishon said the trend "is gaining in popularity and we are ready to meet our customers' desires with a diverse collection of mustache-themed items, saving our customers money so they can live better lives."
The mustache merchandise trend has really taken off in the past year or so. Buyers for Maine-based Cool As a Moose stores began seeing all sorts of items with mustaches at trade shows and in vendor catalogs in fall 2011, said Karen Gauer, one of the buyers.

Juan Mata was part of a much-improved Chelsea performance after half-time at Tottenham and he spoke afterwards about the 1-1 draw.
The Spaniard was introduced at the interval as a replacement for John Mikel Obi, with Jose Mourinho asking Ramires to drop deeper and Mata playing predominantly wide on the right, and it was his free-kick John Terry headed in for our first away league goal of the season and the equaliser following Spurs' first-half opener.
Mata's contribution at White Hart Lane, following on from his midweek performance in the cup match at Swindon, led Mourinho to announce after yesterday's game that the player would start away to Steaua Bucharest on Tuesday.
'Obviously everyone wants to play but as I said last week, I am a professional, I respect all of my team mates and what I want to do is enjoy it on the pitch, and I think against Tottenham I did that,' Mata said.
'We needed to improve and we tried to, and when I came on I just tried to give my best for the team. It is what I did since I came and it is what I am going to do until the end. I am happy with the second half, but it wasn't enough to win.
'Last season we won here and this season we wanted to win again, it wasn't possible but the team showed that we can fight until the end.'
Having levelled the score and gone close to taking the lead, Chelsea's task became a lot harder following the sending-off of Fernando Torres.
'I don't know [about the red card] but Fernando is not a player who goes to hurt,' said Mata.
'In the first half we had some problems, in the second half we had chances to score more goals but at the end we played 10 minutes with 10 players which is very difficult against Tottenham, but we kept compact and we fought until the end to get this point.
'It was a tough game so I think a point is not bad from here, and maybe they played better the first half and we played better the second half.'

Edmond Moore Hamilton (October 21, 1904 – February 1, 1977) was an American author of science fiction stories and novels during the mid-twentieth century.[2] Born in Youngstown, Ohio, he was raised there and in nearby New Castle, Pennsylvania. Something of a child prodigy, he graduated from high school and started college (Westminster College, New Wilmington, Pennsylvania) at the age of 14, but washed out at 17.
Writing career[edit]
Edmond is credited[citation needed] as the author of the first hardcover compilation of what would eventually come to be known as the science fiction genre, The Horror on The Asteroid and Other Tales of Planetary Horror (1936). The book compiles the following stories: "The Horror on the Asteroid", "The Accursed Galaxy", "The Man Who Saw Everything" ("The Man With the X-Ray Eyes"), "The Earth-Brain", "The Monster-God of Mamurth", and "The Man Who Evolved".
His career as a science fiction writer began with the publication of the short story "The Monster God of Mamurth", which appeared in the August 1926 issue of the classic magazine of alternative fiction, Weird Tales. Hamilton quickly became a central member of the remarkable group of Weird Tales writers assembled by editor Farnsworth Wright, that included H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard. Hamilton would publish 79 works of fiction in Weird Tales between 1926 and 1948, making him one of the most prolific of the magazine's contributors (only Seabury Quinn and August Derleth appeared more frequently). Hamilton became a friend and associate of several Weird Tales veterans, including E. Hoffmann Price and Otis Adelbert Kline; most notably, he struck up a 20-year friendship with close contemporary Jack Williamson, as Williamson records in his 1984 autobiography Wonder's Child. In the late 1930s Weird Tales printed several striking fantasy tales by Hamilton, most notably "He That Hath Wings" (July 1938), one of his most popular and frequently-reprinted pieces.
Through the late 1920s and early '30s Hamilton wrote for all of the SF pulp magazines then publishing, and contributed horror and thriller stories to various other magazines as well. He was very popular as an author of space opera, a sub-genre he created along with E.E. "Doc" Smith. His story "The Island of Unreason" (Wonder Stories, May 1933) won the first Jules Verne Prize as the best SF story of the year (this was the first SF prize awarded by the votes of fans, a precursor of the later Hugo Awards). In the later 1930s, in response to the economic strictures of the Great Depression, he also wrote detective and crime stories. Always prolific in stereotypical pulp magazine fashion, Hamilton sometimes saw 4 or 5 of his stories appear in a single month in these years; the February 1937 issue of the pulp Popular Detective featured three Hamilton stories, one under his own name and two under pseudonyms. In the 1940s, Hamilton was the primary force behind the Captain Future franchise,[3] an SF pulp designed for juvenile readers that won him many fans, but diminished his reputation in later years when science fiction moved away from space opera. Hamilton was always associated with an extravagant, romantic, high-adventure style of SF, perhaps best represented by his 1947 novel The Star Kings. As the SF field grew more sophisticated, his brand of extreme adventure seemed ever more quaint, corny, and dated.
In 1946 Hamilton began writing for DC Comics, specializing in stories for their characters Superman[2] and Batman. One of his best known Superman stories was "Superman Under the Red Sun", which appeared in Action Comics No. 300 in 1963 and which has numerous elements in common with his 1951 novel City At World's End.[3] He was instrumental in the early growth of the Legion of Super-Heroes series, as one of its first regular writers. He introduced many of the early Legion concepts into the DC Universe. He also wrote other works for DC, including the short-lived science fiction series Chris KL-99 (in Strange Adventures), which was loosely based on Captain Future. Hamilton retired from comics in 1966.
In 1969, the MacFadden-Bartell Corporation, New York, published a collection of short science fiction stories "Alien Earth and Other Stories" (520-00219-075), where Hamilton's 1949 "Alien Earth" was featured along with novelettes by Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke [and others].
Marriage and collaboration[edit]
On December 31, 1946, Hamilton married fellow science fiction author and screen writer Leigh Brackett in San Gabriel, CA, and moved with her to Kinsman, Ohio. Afterward he would produce some of his best work, including his novels The Star of Life (1947), The Valley of Creation (1948), City at World's End (1951[4]), and The Haunted Stars (1960). In this more mature phase of his career, Hamilton moved away from the romantic and fantastic elements of his earlier fiction to create some unsentimental and realistic stories, such as "What's It Like Out There?" (Thrilling Wonder Stories, Dec. 1952), his single most frequently-reprinted and anthologized work.
Though Hamilton and Leigh Brackett worked side by side for a quarter-century, they rarely shared the task of authorship; their single formal collaboration, Stark and the Star Kings, would not appear in print until 2005. In the early 1960s, it has been speculated that when Brackett had temporarily abandoned SF for screenwriting, Hamilton did an uncredited revision and expansion of two early Brackett stories, "Black Amazon of Mars" and "Queen of the Martian Catacombs"—revised texts were published as the novellas People of the Talisman and The Secret of Sinharat (1964).
Edmond Hamilton died in 1977 in Lancaster, California, of complications following kidney surgery. In the year before his death Toei Animation had launched production of an anime adaptation of his Captain Future novels and Tsuburaya Productions adapted Star Wolf into a tokusatsu series; both series were aired on Japanese television in 1978. The Captain Future adaptation was later exported to Europe, winning Hamilton a new and different fan base than the one that had acclaimed him half a century before, notably in France and Germany.

Carriers Increasingly Open To Working With Mobile Messaging Startups, Research Finds
Carriers haven't typically been friendly with startups, especially over-the-top messaging players that circumvent native phone comms -- viewing them as thieves of traditional voice and SMS revenues, as indeed (from the carrier perspective) they are.

Outlook.com has enjoyed a… Read More
The Internet: We're Doing It Wrong
This week Facebook's ban-bot went berserk; Github went down; and all Google services collapsed for a few minutes, taking 40% of the Internet with them. Just another week on the Internet, then. We love our centralized services, until they let us down. Bruce Sterling calls them "the Stacks": Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft. In his most recent (always riveting) State of the World… Read More

Skype Brings Free Video Messaging Out Of Preview, Redefines 'Visual Voicemail'
Skype has just announced that the previously beta video messaging feature it's been testing is now a proper release feature of its Skype applications for Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android and BlackBerry. Video messaging on Skype simply allows users to record a message for a contact to be viewed later, sort of like a video voicemail, instead of requiring that any real-time communication… Read More

After Months Of Speculation, Microsoft Officially Reveals Skype For The Xbox One
Microsoft's Don Mattrick pulled back the curtain on the Xbox One at a live event at the company's Redmond campus, and it wasn't long at all before the talk turned to software.

Thank you!
Thank you for all the support you have given us over the last few weeks. We can proudly say that this song has become the anthem of our movement! We made it to number 10 in the indie charts and 79 in the Gallup charts. Without any media coverage, music industry bigwigs or PR budget this is a fantastic achievement. Thank you, we couldn't have done it without you.
We sang that we wanted to "break down the wall" and together we have. We've broken the wall of silence on Palestine in the music industry by releasing the first ever mainstream single in solidarity with Palestine.
From the muddy fields of Glastonbury to the occupied streets of Gaza we've inspired thousands of people around the world to dance and sing for justice for Palestine. We've made Fox anchor Glenn Beck cry, high street store LUSH has got behind the campaign and Archbishop Desmond Tutu even came out of retirement to support us.
Musicians and artists such as Rogers Waters, Massive Attack, Lowkey, Mark Thomas, Julie Christie, Sami Yusuf, Ken Loach, and Billy Bragg have all got behind this historic challenge to the illegal Israeli Occupation.
So one more time, let us hear you sing "We'll break down the Wall! Freedom for Palestine!" Let's make this song the soundtrack of the summer!

NOW PLAYING: 1 of 7
Erin Chance describes the feeling of finding out her son relapsed, and referring oncologist Dr. Thomas McClean his role in helping a family through that.
This video series is designed to help referring oncologists and families better understand the different treatment options for patients with difficult or hard to treat cancers. As one of the largest pediatric cancer programs in the country, the Cancer Center at CHOP has dedicated teams of specialists, with focused experience on a certain type of cancer, and often times can offer patients access to certain therapies and protocols, that can't be found elsewhere. The Center works with oncologists and families from all over the world to integrate some of these therapies into their existing treatment programs at home, to create a stronger treatment plan that works for the families.
Erin Chance, Mother of Patrick: In many ways, Patrick is your typical 8-year-old boy.
He loves LEGOs. He loves games. He loves his dogs. He has two sisters that he plays with and enjoys. He loves to go fishing with my husband. That's his biggest thing.
When he was first diagnosed, I think the overwhelming feeling is sort of shock and disbelief. I remember for the first week or so really being in a daze, not really believing that your child actually has cancer because you know as a parent, one of the things that you fear most is that your child would get a terminal disease or a very serious disease like cancer, and so to hear those words actually come out of a doctor's mouth is very shocking. So I think being overwhelmed would be a very good way to describe it.
The doctors told us to take things day by day because it really is an unpredictable lifestyle. So when Patrick's cancer didn't clear, we started doing a lot of research and CHOP was one of the very first places that we learned about that was in the forefront of cancer research, especially neuroblastoma research with their Genomics Department and their cutting-edge research that you cannot get anywhere else.
Thomas W. McLean, MD: When I refer patients, I want them to go to the best.
I want them to go to a highly regarded, well-respected institution where I know they're going to be well taken care of and have good care. And a place like CHOP certainly fits that description.

Transfer Credit Allowed
For iCollege students who have successfully completed a certificate program and who are admitted to their respective UMUC program, UMUC will accept a certain number of transfer credits. Accepted credits vary per program.
The transferred credits will be accepted only as a block equivalent to the number of accepted credits, and are awarded to iCollege students who have successfully met all the graduation requirements and have been awarded a diploma and/or certificate. UMUC will not accept the transfer of partial credit for any particular program under this agreement. As part of the admissions process at UMUC, students must submit their official transcripts from iCollege and fill out the Transfer Credit Evaluation Request form.
Note: UMUC students who have successfully completed their certificate program and are following the partnership before the fall 2007 semester can follow the original course plan.
Since iCollege accepted transfer credits exceed the normal credit transfer limits accepted by UMUC, no other additional credits from other graduate schools for participants under this agreement will be allowed or accepted for those who transfer in these credits. All requirements established for the completion of the degree program must be fulfilled within seven (7) consecutive years, beginning at the date the first course is completed at either UMUC or iCollege.
Participants' Obligations
Note: All students coming into any UMUC graduate program must take UCSP 615 Orientation to Graduate Studies at UMUC within the first six credit hours. There is a $75 fee.
iCollege students or graduates must apply to their desired degree program and meet the applicable admission criteria at the time of application.
Admission of iCollege students shall be 1) in accordance with UMUC's current admission policies and procedures applicable to any student seeking graduate admission to UMUC and 2) in accordance with applicable law. (Applicants who have graduated from a regionally accredited degree-granting university or college with a 3.5 GPA are eligible for unconditional admission).
For the purpose of evaluating applicants for admission and assessing overall grade point average of iCollege students upon graduation, iCollege graduates will be evaluated by UMUC under the following guidelines:
NDU A (above average) = UMUC A (4.0)
NDU M (meets standard) = UMUC B (3.0)
NDU B (below standard) = UMUC C (2.0)

Civilian students will pay the in-state or out-of-state graduate tuition rates depending on their residency status, at the prevailing rate.

Principal Laurie Pascoe said Permann was only able to teach for a few weeks this year because of his illness.
"Last year's class was hit pretty hard, and staff was really impacted by this," she said.
Students have shown their love for Permann by placing posters they signed throughout the school and creating a memorial with his photo in a display case near the office.
Several staff members spoke about their memories of Permann this week as they prepared to take the display down.
"I think about Jesse in terms of that famous statement, 'He probably didn't know a stranger,'" said Nancy Schwarz, who also teaches at the school. "Everyone was his friend, everyone was so important to him, and he treated everyone with respect."
Schwarz said parents also appreciated Permann.
"Parents said he made their children feel like they mattered," she said. "He was always outside during recess playing ball or soccer, and he loved teaching."
Concentrating on his return to teaching was what got Jesse through chemotherapy, she said.
"All he could think about was getting back to teaching."
Permann was engaged to Rochelle Wilber before learning he had cancer; after his diagnosis, they decided to get married last March, Pascoe said.
"When they found out he had cancer they moved the wedding date up and went through this together," she said. "She's a CNA (certified nurse's assistant) and most all of funds raised are going toward medical expenses."
A fund to help defray medical and funeral costs has also been set up c/o Crippin Funeral Home, 802 E. Main St., Montrose CO 81401.
Permann's death has been hard on his young bride, and the school has already held several fundraisers; most of the money raised will go to medical expenses, Pascoe said.
The most recent fundraiser was a "hat day" at school where students paid $1 to wear a hat all day, and raised $550 to help pay medical bills and expenses.
The school had previously held a pancake breakfast at Applebee's, and this weekend will auction off gift baskets at a school dance.
According to his obituary, Permann was a member of Grace Community Church and loved to fish, play golf and go camping. A native of Minnesota, he played semi-professional football in college. He graduated from Moorehead College with a degree in elementary education.
In addition to his wife, of Montrose, Permann is survived by his parents, Michael Permann of New Mexico and Kelly Permann of Minnesota; three sisters, Anna and her husband Mike Mueller of Minnesota, Raechel Permann of North Carolina, and Sara Permann of Minnesota. He is also survived by his father and mother-in-law, Lee and Kathy Wilber of Montrose.
Permann will be missed by many, Pascoe said.
"He was passionate about the kids, and he loved what he was doing," she said.
