BP is considering a switcheroo, and as much as I'd like to say the American public isn't so dumb that they can't figure out that Amoco and BP are the same folks, rebranding their U.S. gas stations as Amoco might just work.
Remember ValuJet? You can still fly it: it's now known as one of America's busiest airlines, AirTran.
How about that carcinogen pusher Philip Morris? The company's cancer sticks now sell under the Altria banner.
What about those big, bad Blackwater security bullies? Look up Xe Services.
Before we go on, a little background: BP bought Amoco back in 1998. The company became known as BP Amoco, although the Amoco part was gradually phased out at retail stations in favor of the BP name and its green and yellow sunflower logo. The Amoco brand was retired in 2001.
Now station owners disgruntled over the grass-roots boycott and drop in business – the result of the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster – want the company to go back to Amoco.
Click here for Daddy Warbucks' Facebook page.
The move would be smart. BP is a name to distance one's self from at this point.
Yet the rebranding is not entirely necessary. The ruptured well is capped. The reserve well is nearing completion. The oil that escaped is dissipating at a rate that's boggling scientists thanks to petroleum-hungry microbes.
Some people, like me, will hold the disaster against BP for years to come. We will pump gas across the street, even if it costs us a few more pennies per gallon. But we are in the minority.
Click here for Daddy Warbucks' twitter feed.
The BP boycott will escape the consciousness of Americans who don't live within a tank of the Gulf Coast by the end of the year, if not before. BP's best tack at this point is to keep working on the cleanup, keep compensating those whose livelihoods their spill impacted, and keep its pledge to go above and beyond with safety measures in its operations going forward.
The sleight of hand of BP rebranding itself Amoco will help, but it won't address the real problem.

William Ferdinand Eboch (died 03-28-1888) was married to Eunice (Bond) Eboch (died 04-11-1898).
William Ferdinand Eboch's father was Ferdinand Ibach and his grandfather was Ferdinand Wilhelm Ibach. (Ferdinand Wilhelm Ibach came over from Germany with his brother Charles Frederick Ibach on the ship Columbia and arrived in Philadelphia on April 17, 1796).
William Ferdinand and Eunice (Bond) Eboch had the following children:
* TWIN Thomas Jefferson Eboch (1855-1941) married Margaret (Haworth) Eboch their children are:
John F. Eboch(1888-1967) Helen "Virginia" Eboch
married 11-25-1916 married 09-23-1914
Susan Guszak(1893-1965) Samuel M. Nickel (1883-1916)
John had a daughter Virginia who married Harold Sheriff.
Helen "Virginia" Eboch had 2 children Sarah Jane Nickel (1916-1917) and Baby Nickel (1915).
Thomas Jefferson Eboch was known by my family as Uncle Jeff who had a twin brother named James Monroe Eboch.
*TWIN James Monroe Eboch (died 08-25-1931)
Esther McClellan
They had one son named:
Theodore Harold Eboch (1880-1934)
married 04-30-1900
Anne West(1883-1928)
Theodore Harold Eboch had the following children: Hobart West Eboch (1902-1939); Mary Elizabeth (died as an infant); Anne Catherine born 1917 (married Salvatore Rocci); James Monroe Eboch born 1919.

My great-grandfather was Charles Milroy "Stubbs" Eboch
Charles was born September 26, 1866 and was raised by his grandparent's William Ferdinand Eboch and Eunice (Bond) Eboch. His parents are still unknown and not listed on the death certificate. His name was changed from Stubbs to Eboch by the 1880 census. I can only assume that one of his parents was an Eboch since he was raised by his grandparents. When Charles was 6 weeks old the Eboch's left the Pocono (Blakeslee, PA) area of Pennsylvania and relocated to Philipsburg PA. There was a family named Stubbs who lived a few doors down from the Eboch's in Blakeslee PA. I am in the process of trying to find out if possibly a family member of this Stubbs family may have been one of the parent's to my great-grandfather. This is my great-grandfather family tree:

I've had no problems with no more rack!
Good Experience
Ordered lens travel mug. Received as described. Only issue was that it said free shipping on the first order. Ended up paying shipping. Contacted the company. They responded with questions which I answered. Never heard back from them. Did receive my product in three days. Exactly as advertised and expected. Only issue is with reaching someone from customer Service. They need to step it up a bit in customer service.
Silver earring
Got my package in 8 days and everything was perfect
Ordered victorinox cologne for 26$. Retails for 55 at macys. Got it in about a week. Just ordered a ring too. The site is great, i think its just a clearinghouse and the items get dropped shipped from suppliers. Just like quibids etc. Nomorerack does atand behind its guarantees.
My hunch is this review was written by a nomorerack.com employee.
Very suspicious! I agree
Shine a postive light on nomorerack
Regarding sale of Egyption Cotton Sheets, bought a set that were microfiber was very upset and dissapointed kept the sheets with store credit. The original seller of the sheets advertised on packing Egyption Cotton, things happen do not believe nomorerack set out to sell a bogus product. Thats my opnion as nomorerack quickly handled my complant to my sastisfaction. Have prior to and since purchased many items with 100% satisfaction.

All these reviews are very informative. Most are not very positive, and this review I would hardly call positive for the company, but certainly assists me now. I have another browser Window open to purchase sheets such as you described. I happened to decide to check on the company before entering my credit card and shipping information, and found this Site.
Sorry, if I order Egyptian sheets, I expect to get what's described - NOT microfiber.
I will NOT be ordering these sheets, nor, from what I've read, anything else from this website. I am certainly glad I checked first!
OMG, I ordered boots from this web site and they are gits to my girl Christmas on cyber Monday and still have not received them. Starting to worry!

If the filler was Juvederm or Restylane it can be dissolved with The injection of hyaluronidase. A long as the material was not permanent you can wait until it absorbs; otherwise, excision will be necessary.

Nicorette microtab (nicotine)
Nicorette microtabs contain nicotine. They are a type of medicine known as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and are used to help smokers give up the habit.
What are they used for?
- Relieving and preventing cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with tobacco dependence and giving up smoking.
If you have already quit smoking completely, Nicorette microtabs can be used to relieve cravings for a cigarette.
If you are not yet ready to stop smoking completely, Nicorette microtabs can also help you to cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke each day, by using a microtab instead of having a cigarette. This can make it easier to eventually stop smoking completely.
How does it work?
Nicorette microtabs contain nicotine. They are a type of medicine known as nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) and are used to help smokers give up the habit.
Nicotine is the addictive substance present in tobacco. Smokers who try to give up often experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and cravings for cigarettes, because they are dependent on the nicotine in tobacco. Withdrawal symptoms can include irritability, headaches, restlessness, insomnia and difficulty concentrating. These, combined with cigarette cravings, are why it is difficult for some people to give up smoking.
Nicotine replacement therapies work by giving you a small amount of nicotine, but without the dangerous effects of inhaling tobacco smoke. This helps relieve the withdrawal symptoms and cravings for a cigarette that you get when you stop smoking, and allows you to get on with breaking the psychological habit of smoking. If you are physically addicted to nicotine, using NRT has been shown to almost double your chances of successfully quitting smoking.
Nicorette microtabs are designed to dissolve under your tongue. The nicotine is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the lining of your mouth to provide relief from cravings.
NRT comes in many forms. There are factsheets on all these linked at the end of this page. Nicotine patches can be used to help prevent cravings for cigarettes, while nasal sprays, inhalators, chewing gum, tablets that dissolve under the tongue, and lozenges, are all forms that can be used instead of smoking when you get a cigarette craving.
As well as breaking the physical addiction, you also need to break the smoking habits you used to have. Try to avoid situations where you will be tempted to smoke, and remember to seek help and support whenever you feel like giving in to your cravings.
How do I use it?
- Follow the instructions provided with the microtabs.
- Nicorette microtabs should be placed under the tongue and allowed to dissolve. Do not suck, chew or swallow the microtabs, as this is more likely to cause side effects such as throat and stomach irritation, indigestion or hiccups.
- You can take one to two tablets per hour to relieve your cravings to smoke, depending on how many cigarettes you normally smoke and how strong they are. (Heavy smokers, who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day, are recommended to take two tablets per hour.) You should not take more than 40 tablets a day, though most smokers need less than this.
- When you quit smoking completely, it is recommended that you use one to two tablets every hour, for up to three months after stopping smoking. After this time your psychological urge to smoke should be less. You should then be able to gradually reduce the number of tablets you are using, so that you are using less and less nicotine. (It is rare to become dependent on the tablets. If this happens it is much less dangerous than being dependent on cigarettes and is a much easier habit to break than smoking.) You should stop using the tablets when your consumption is down to one or two tablets a day.
- If you are using the microtabs to help you cut down the number of cigarettes you smoke a day, you should make a quit attempt as soon as you feel ready. This should be no later than six months after starting to cut down using the microtabs. Seek advice from your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you find this difficult. You should also ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice if you haven't managed to reduce the number of cigarettes you smoke within six weeks of starting to use the microtabs.
- If you drink acidic drinks, such as coffee, sodas or fruit juices, in the 15 minutes before taking a microtab, this can reduce the amount of nicotine that is absorbed from your mouth.
- Make sure you do not leave Nicorette microtabs where children can reach them. Doses of nicotine that are tolerated by adult smokers during treatment can produce severe symptoms of poisoning in small children and may prove fatal.
Not to be used in
- Non-smokers.
- Children under 12 years of age.
This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. Please inform your doctor or pharmacist if you have previously experienced such an allergy.
If you feel you have experienced an allergic reaction, stop using this medicine and inform your doctor or pharmacist immediately.
Use with caution in
- People with disease involving the heart and blood vessels (cardiovascular disease). Using NRT is much less hazardous than continuing to smoke. However, if you are in hospital because you have recently had a heart attack or stroke or you have severe irregular heartbeats, you should ideally try to stop smoking without using NRT. Seek advice from your doctor.
- Diabetes. If you have diabetes you should monitor your blood sugar more closely when starting NRT.
- People with a peptic ulcer.
- People with inflammation of the stomach lining (gastritis), foodpipe (oesophagitis), or mouth and throat. This is because swallowed nicotine can aggravate these conditions.
- People with an uncontrolled overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism).
- People with a tumour of the adrenal gland (phaeochromocytoma).
- People with severely decreased kidney function.
- People with moderate to severely decreased liver function.
- Nicorette microtabs lemon flavour contain aspartame, which may be harmful for people with an inherited disorder of protein metabolism called phenylketonuria.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
Certain medicines should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, other medicines may be safely used in pregnancy or breastfeeding providing the benefits to the mother outweigh the risks to the unborn baby. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, before using any medicine.
- Nicotine in any form should ideally not be used during pregnancy, as it has been shown to adversely affect the development of the baby, both in the womb and after birth. However, for pregnant women who are unable to give up smoking without a smoking cessation aid, NRT may deliver less nicotine (and none of the other potentially disease-causing agents) than would be obtained from cigarettes. As a result, it is considered that NRT poses less of a risk to the baby than continuing to smoke. Pregnant women who smoke should discuss the risks and benefits of NRT with their doctor as early as possible in their pregnancy and only use this medicine on their advice. The aim should be to stop using NRT as soon as possible, preferably after two to three months.
- Nicotine taken in any form passes into breast milk and is harmful to the nursing infant. However, for women who are unable to give up smoking without a smoking cessation aid, NRT may deliver less nicotine (and none of the other potentially disease-causing agents) than would be obtained from cigarettes. It is also less hazardous than the second-hand smoke that the infant would be exposed to if the mother continued to smoke. This medicine can therefore be used during breastfeeding. Wherever possible, the microtabs should be used immediately after breastfeeding and not in the two hours before breastfeeding, in order to reduce the amount of nicotine that the infant is exposed to.
Side effects
Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Many of these are similar to the effects of smoking nicotine in tobacco, or withdrawal symptoms after stopping smoking. Just because a side effect is stated here does not mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.
Common (affect between 1 in 10 and 1 in 100 people)
- Dizziness.
- Headache.
- Awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations).
- Coughing.
- Burning sensation in the mouth.
- Sore mouth or throat.
- Dry mouth.
- Hiccups.
- Feeling sick.
- Abdominal discomfort.
- Inflammation of the lining of the nose, causing a blocked or runny nose (rhinitis).
Rare (affect between 1 in 1000 and 1 in 10,000 people)
- Allergic reactions including swelling of lips and throat (angiodema).
Very rare (affect fewer than 1 in 10,000 people)
- Irregular heart beat (atrial fibrillation).
The side effects listed above may not include all of the side effects reported by the medicine's manufacturer.
For more information about any other possible risks associated with this medicine, please read the information provided with the medicine or consult your doctor or pharmacist.
How can this medicine affect other medicines?
Nicotine replacement itself does not affect other medicines. However, the components of tobacco smoke can cause certain medicines to be removed from the body faster than normal. This means that when you stop smoking, they could be removed slower and so their blood levels may increase. You should tell your doctor that you are giving up smoking if you are taking the following medicines, as when you stop smoking your doses may need to be changed:
- aminophylline
- chlorpromazine
- cinacalcet
- clozapine
- dextropropoxyphene
- flecainide
- fluphenazine
- haloperidol
- olanzapine
- pentazocine
- ropinirole
- tacrine
- theophylline .
People with diabetes who smoke normally need more insulin, as smoking reduces the amount of insulin that is absorbed into the blood from an injection under the skin. Therefore if people with diabetes give up smoking, they may subsequently need a reduction in their insulin dose. People with diabetes should monitor their blood sugar levels more closely when stopping smoking. Discuss this with your doctor.
Using nicotine replacement therapy in combination with bupropion (Zyban) or varenicline (Champix) is not currently recommended. You can, however, use a combination of different NRT products if you find this is helpful. Ask your pharmacist for advice.

Dear Tom and Ray: I recently had to have a new water pump put in my 2005 VW Bug. At the same time, they replaced the timing belt. Twenty-three days later, I was stranded because the timing belt broke. After they examined it, they found that the crankshaft pulley was in many pieces, some of which were missing. Of course, they take no blame for this and say it was unrelated. What do you think? Did they break the pulley when they replaced the timing belt? -- Kaylyn
Ray: They might have. I'd have to say it's extremely unlikely that a broken crankshaft pulley would break the timing belt, though. It's possible ... if it broke in a jagged way and tore through the plastic timing belt housing that sits behind it. Possible, but not very likely.
Tom: So let me put a more-likely scenario on the table. Perhaps what really broke was the timing belt sprocket, Kaylyn. It sits directly behind the crankshaft pulley.
Ray: To investigate, the first thing you need to do is check your receipt to see if they replaced something called the "front engine seal."
Tom: Normally, that seal gets replaced when you do a timing belt. Not always, but if you want to do a thorough job, you replace the front engine seal and the water pump whenever you do a timing belt job.
Ray: Why? Because both of those parts are relatively inexpensive, and they're easy to access once the timing belt is off. And if either one fails, say, three weeks later, you have to do the timing belt all over again.
Tom: Which, as we've found out, makes our customers extremely grouchy. So we never change a timing belt without also changing the water pump and the front engine seal.
Ray: But in order to get to the front engine seal, both the timing belt sprocket and the crankshaft pulley have to be removed. And that's not always easy, especially on VWs.
Tom: So if they had to use force to pull off the sprocket, they could have put a small crack in it. Or if they used heat to loosen the bolts that run through the pulley and the sprocket, and accidentally overheated them, they could have weakened the sprocket's metal and caused it to fail a few weeks later.
Ray: So look at your receipt, Kaylyn. If it's illegible or indecipherable, ask some other mechanic to help you read it (if you want to find an honest mechanic, try the customer-generated listings at www.mechanicsfiles.com).
Tom: If your shop charged you to replace the front engine seal, then I think you have a right to be suspicious. And since what you need now is major surgery, I think a second opinion is called for.
Ray: I'd search the Mechanics Files for a trustworthy mechanic in your area, and have the car towed there. Tell him what the other shop told you, and ask him to look at the car and see if their story checks out.
Tom: The second guy may tell you there's no way to know exactly what happened. Or he may confirm our theory. Or he may have a theory of his own that either exonerates or convicts these other guys. Ask him to write up his professional opinion for you. You'll have to pay him for his time, but I think it's worth it, in this case.
Ray: Armed with that information -- and expert witness testimony, should you need it -- you can go back to the original guys, if warranted, and suggest, a little more persuasively, that they do the right thing for you and fix the car.
Tom: All reputable shops carry Garage Keeper's Liability insurance (what we call "Bonehead Insurance") to cover serious mistakes they make on customers' cars. So they probably have the means to repair this if they need to.

Stop the senior swingman.
Sheehey totaled 12 points in 21 minutes of IU's 79-39 exhibition victory. He was 5-for-7 from the field. He added two steals and a rebound, and seemed ready for more until the injur sent him buckling to the Assembly Hall floor in the second half, a few minutes after his pair of three-pointers boosted IU to a 20-point lead. He quickly got up, but spent of the rest of the night on the bench icing his calf.
"He's sore," coach Tom Crean said. "We'll try to figure out what happened. I think he got bumped by (teammate Evan Gordon). He'll go through the process with the doctors. I'm hopeful there isn't anything dramatic there."
The Hoosiers didn't need Sheeney the rest of the way against Hillsdale. They will need him when they open their season against Chicago State on Friday night.
Point guard Yogi Ferrell added 14 points and three assists. In IU's two exhibitions he averaged 17.0 points and was 8-for-15 from three-point range.
The Hoosiers played solid defense the last 30 minutes. Hillsdale shot 24.0 percent from the field, 22.2 percent from three-point range.
"We got some very good contributions from different people," Crean said.
"Anytime you can overcome a deficit, continue to get better throughout the game and learn what really matters, which is defense and rebounding and creating points off turnovers, it's really good."
IU's slow start produced a 13-2 deficit. Crean shouted instructions to "swing the ball and drive." Eventually, the Hoosiers got the message, picked up their defense and went on a 25-3 run. They went up by 12 before settling for a 33-24 halftime lead. Ferrell was the catalyst with 11 points.
Sheehey opened the second half with a pair of three-pointers. The Hoosiers built a 20-point lead.
Hillsdale, drained from an overtime loss at Toledo on Sunday night, was finished.
"I'm not going to use that as an excuse," Hillsdale coach Jason Tharp said. "Indiana is a team that's going to hurt you in a lot of different ways because of how they run.
"Their defense created everything for them. Any time you make a mistake on offense, they're going to punish you by getting a score."

Google's 'Free Trial' Advertisement Not a Binding Offer4 Jun, 2013 By: Arthur Yoon, Jeffrey Richter
When can an advertisement be considered a binding offer? The U.S. District Court of Northern California needed to consider that question in Rachel Frezza v. Google Inc., which was a class action lawsuit filed by merchants alleging that Google breached contracts when it charged their credit cards during a 30-day "free trial" promotion of a service, now discontinued, called Google Tags. Tags was an online feature designed to enhance the appeal and promote the distinctive aspects of a business on the Internet. A business listing with Tags was made to stand out from others through the use of a bright yellow "tag" icon that appeared next to the listing in Google search results.
In 2010, Google began a promotion offering a trial period of the service. The plaintiffs alleged that Google conveyed the message to potential customers that they could try the Tags service for 30 days at no charge. As evidence, plaintiffs relied on a blog posting for the Google Tags service, in which Google stated that it was "offering every business across the country the chance to try Google Tags free for 30 days!" and which described the promotion as a "free trial" with "no strings attached."
The blog directed the users: "To start your free 30 day trial today, please visit our signup page or check out the help center for more details." Plaintiffs sued for breach of contract, alleging in the complaint that their credit cards were nevertheless charged fees for using Tags within the "free" 30-day trial period. Google contended that those who accepted the trial offers of Tags were bound by written terms and conditions that a merchant agreed to at the time it provided credit card information and that those terms clearly stated that the promotional credit was for the specified amount of "$25.00, per listing, per month" rather than an unconditional 30-day trial period at no cost.
It is well established under California law that an advertisement generally does not constitute an offer. However, in certain cases where the offer is accepted by the recipient of the advertisement rendering a performance, an advertisement could form the basis of a unilateral contract if the recipient renders the performance. The operative question before the court, therefore, was whether Google, through its blog posting for the Tags service, in clear and positive terms promised to provide a merchant with an unconditional 30-day trial period of the Tags service at no cost in exchange for the merchant visiting Google's sign-up page or help center to review the details of the service, and whether the merchant reasonably might have concluded that by acting in accordance with the blog posting a contract would be formed.
In considering the question, the court focused on the pertinent language of the actual contract for the Tags service that plaintiffs claimed was reasonably susceptible of the interpretation that the first 30 days of any Tag for which they signed up in the promotion period was free. The court determined that the terms and conditions of the contract were presented at the time of enrollment in the Tags service, which required a merchant to first provide its credit card information, and not through the promotional materials. Plaintiffs could only present the text of blog postings and marketing materials describing the "free trial" and directing consumers to "visit" the signup page or "check out" the "help center."
Plaintiffs could not demonstrate to the court that the "terms and conditions" of the Tags service at the time plaintiffs entered their credit card information when the contract was formed expressly stated that the promotion period was free. The court found that no reasonable person would understand that merely visiting the "signup page" or the "help center" as being the performance sought in return for the offer of 30 days of free Tags. That the promotional materials were not contemplated to constitute an offer was clear from the undisputed fact that they made no mention of the requirement to provide credit card information, in the court's view. Accordingly, the court found that the promotional materials did not constitute binding offers and that plaintiffs failed to state a breach of contract claim.
This case is a reminder that an advertiser needs to carefully review any promotion to ensure that it will not be construed as a binding offer. Having a firm understanding of the differences between an advertisement and unilateral contract is essential to avoid breach of contract claims by consumers and for managing business liability.

Dayton rails against new GOP stadium plan, calls it absurd and cynical
Gov. Mark Dayton used a thesaurus-inspired flurry of negative adjectives today to describe the Republicans new plan for a publicly-funded Vikings stadium.
"Harebrained," "cynical," "absurd," "fiasco," and "profoundly disappointing" were some of his expressed feelings about the plan, which surfaced Tuesday. The proposal would include state funding in a bonding bill covering infrastructure for a new open-air Vikings stadium.
On Tuesday, Minneapolis officials, the Vikings and the governor all said that the topless stadium proposal wouldn't work, and urged the Republican leadership to allow a vote on the much-discussed but not universally liked proposal that would put state and city money towards a covered stadium in downtown Minneapolis.
But Dayton was even more animated this morning in a news conference.
He called the last-minute proposal the most cynical political ploy he's seen in 35 years in politics.
Dayton said Republicans are playing poker with thousands of jobs (that would be gained by stadium construction) in order to save their own jobs in the November election.
He said he's invited GOP leaders to talk further, to try to "salvage this fiasco." And he said he met with House Speaker Kurt Zellers this morning for a "candid" talk, which can be assumed to be a fiery discussion.
More talks are scheduled for this afternoon, but Dayton, along with House Minority Leader Paul Thissen and Senate Minority Leader Tom Bakk, all said the only hope they see for resurrecting a stadium proposal is to have votes in the House and Senate on the proposal that's already gone through committees and is ready for floor votes.
After Dayton's public and forceful assessment, House GOP spokeswoman Jodi Boyne told reporters that the governor's comments were "really unfortunate."

A University of California-Berkeley-led study has found health disparities exist even between those with higher incomes.
"What was unusual was that we found that people in the middle class were still at a disadvantage, compared with those at just a slightly higher income," said Meredith Minkler, professor of health and social behavior and lead author. "The fact that there's a significant difference between people at 600 and 700 percent above the poverty level was a striking finding of this study." Although broken down by age, income and household size, the study showed, for example, a 65-year-old man making about $50,000 had 44 percent more chance of disability than one making $58,000.
"We have lots of evidence that wealthier people in society are healthier and live longer than the poorest," said Minkler, "but less settled is whether you see this gradient with respect to disability." The study said less smoking, less stress, better access to health care and healthier, safer environments are some possible explanations.
Co-authors of the study are Esme Fuller-Thomson of the University of Toronto and Dr. Jack Guralnik of the National Institute on Aging.
The research appears in the current issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Martino thrilled to have Puyol back
Barcelona coach Gerardo Martino says that having Carles Puyol back fit again is a great joy, as the club captain returns alongside Javier Mascherano and Lionel Messi for Saturday's La Liga game at Osasuna.
• Tomas: Rosell's child guideline
Messi and Mascherano are expected to come straight back into the team after overcoming recent muscle issues, while Puyol is more likely to be on the bench given it is his first call-up after seven months out with a serious knee injury.
However, Martino told reporters at Friday's prematch news conference that he might even start the 35-year-old centre-back at the weekend.
"If I include a player in the squad it is because he can play," Martino said. "He is ready to take part in the game. It is a great joy for all of us to have Puyol back. And even more for him. He was more worried in recent times."
Saturday's game begins a spell of seven matches in 23 days for Barca, including a Champions League tie at AC Milan on Tuesday and then the Liga Clasico at home to Real Madrid the following Saturday.
Martino, though, said his focus for the moment is firmly on the game at El Sadar -- where Barca lost 3-2 two seasons ago, and were trailing 1-0 last term before Messi's late double won them the game.
"I do not want to lose focus on this game at Osasuna," he said. "It is the first game after a fortnight, with 13 or 14 players who have been away with their national teams. I give importance to all games, from the first day to the last day.
"This is a very important week, but not a decisive week. We are centred on the problems we could have against Osasuna. From there we can think about the other games."
Dani Alves, Alexis Sanchez and Gerard Pique have nevertheless been excused the trip to Pamplona, as Martino continues his rotation policy aimed at keeping all his squad fresh and happy.
"It is just about rotation, players who have played a lot of minutes," he said. "There is no medical reason for them being out. They have also been with their national teams.
"Gerard played a lot of minutes already this season. He has had some discomfort before the international break, but he told me that if he needed to play he could play. It is more just about giving them a rest for tomorrow's game."
Neymar's inclusion in the squad, despite having travelled with Alves to China for Brazil's two friendly games last week, has nothing to do with whether Messi is able to play 90 minutes or not, Martino said.
"[Neymar] had a rest against Almeria before the international break," he said. "It is true that he had a long journey, but he did not play as much as Dani did."

U.S. sees Iran sanctions as a first step
The Obama administration signaled Wednesday that the United States would accept weakened U.N. sanctions against Iran as a way to quickly assemble a broad international coalition against Tehran's nuclear program. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that adoption of a new sanctions resolution by the U.N. Security Council is more vital than the actual measures taken. He said a Security Council resolution "provides a new legal platform" for individual nations or groups such as the European Union to take more stringent action. In that way, the U.N. resolution acts as a "launching pad" for economic strictures that are much tougher than those adopted by the world organization, he said.

U.S. reaches out to new leaders
The Obama administration signaled its support for the new leadership of Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday, sending Robert Blake, the assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian affairs, to meet with the head of the country's interim government. The diplomatic gesture left deposed President Kurmanbek Bakiyev ever more isolated in a mountain village in the south, where he fled after an uprising last week. He is now trying to arrange a safe exit for his family, as well as himself. Blake met with the new Kyrgyz leader, Roza Otunbayeva. He said he came to "express support for the steps the provisional government has taken to restore democracy" and to offer U.S. aid.

Bystanders among 6 killed in shootout
A gunbattle erupted on the main coast boulevard in the heart of this Pacific resort Wednesday afternoon, killing six people, including a mother and her 8-year-old child. None of the victims appeared to be tourists. A federal police officer died in a shootout with gunmen, but at least three of the dead seemed to have been bystanders caught in the crossfire. Five other people suffered wounds. Federal police said they detained a 26-year-old and said he apparently worked for Edgar Valdez Villarreal, a U.S.-born drug capo who has been engaged in a bloody battle in the Acapulco area with former colleagues in the Beltran-Leyva drug cartel.
REYKJAVIK, Iceland
Hundreds flee as volcano erupts
A volcano under a glacier in Iceland erupted Wednesday for the second time in less than a month, melting ice, spewing smoke and steam, closing a major road and forcing hundreds of people to flee rising floodwaters. Authorities evacuated 800 residents from around the Eyjafjallajokull glacier as water gushed down the mountainside and rivers rose by up to 10 feet. Iceland's main coastal ring road was closed near the volcano, and workers smashed holes in the highway in a bid to give the rushing water a clear route to the coast and prevent bridges from being swept away.
Court rebuffs gay marriage attempt
Italy's constitutional court has rejected bids to have gay marriages recognized. Couples in the cities of Venice and Trento sought to have their city halls ordered to post formal marriage announcements for homosexual unions, as they do for heterosexual marriages. The judges refused to issue the order. Italian news reports said the judges maintain it is up to lawmakers to recognize gay marriage.

I am considering Prima Latina for my next year 3rd grader. Neither of us have any experience with Latin although I do have 3 years of Spanish (long ago) under my belt. I'm looking at the catalog chart on p. 8 where it gives a sample scope and sequence. For a 3rd grader with no experience it suggests Prima Latina for 1 year moving on to Latina Christiana I for fourth grade. But the chart shows PC all the way from 4th through 7th grade. Is it designed to be used for that long or do you just keep going back through? Or do you just move on to PC II when your child has finished PC I? Then I don't know what to do after PC II if we don't want to do traditional Henle Latin.
Thanks in advance for answering this question!

Mesotherapy is quite over hyped. I got those million injections ijjected into my thighs and belly hoping that the cellulite will make its way out. Hell no! It is still there and as strong as ever. I wasted all the money. I dont care much about weight loss in inches as i am not really overweight. Its just the cellulite that bothers me. I did lose an inch or two with mesotherapy, but nothing happened to the cellulite. The treatment was slightly painful, with thos injections pricking away. A anesthetic cream kept the pain mild although after a few hours i could really feel the discomfort.I would not have minded that if my cellulite had disappeared, but unfortunately that did not happen.

New Jersey UFO Case Likely a Copycat Hoax
January 7, 2009
It seems likely that a mysterious set of UFO lights that appeared over New Jersey on Monday night was a copycat hoax linked to the 2008 Phoenix Lights case. Strange lights appeared over Morris County on the evening of January. 5. The bright red lights were first noticed in the night sky by an eleven-year-old girl, who pointed out three lights grouped together, and another pair some distance away. The girl's mother, Cindy Hurley, said it was "unsettling…something you've never seen before, and a very strange pattern." Paul Hurley, a pilot, said he was baffled: "I've been in aviation for 20 years and never seen anything like it." Clues about the identity of the New Jersey UFO can be found in a case of identical, mysterious lights seen over Phoenix last year.
On April 21, 2008, hundreds of Phoenix residents called police and local news media to report bright red lights hovering silently over the city. They changed shape after a while, moving from a triangular to rectangular configuration, then disappeared one by one. As in Morris County, the local airport reported that nothing appeared on radar scans of the area.
So what were they? The 2008 Phoenix Lights case was a hoax, created by road flares tied to helium balloons. The hoaxer admitted it, and eyewitnesses reported seeing him do it. In both cases, all the evidence points to a hoax: The lights moved independently like floating objects, not fixed lights on an aircraft; they moved together in the same direction as the wind; they did not show up on radar; and the lights extinguished in exactly the pattern we would expect from flares, going out one by one.Confirmation of the hoax hypothesis came from another New Jersey eyewitness, one who got a closer look at the lights than the Hurley family. In a call to the police, the man reported "balloons with these five lights flying over right now." It's not surprising that eyewitnesses, including a pilot, could not identify the objects, since most people have not seen road flares tied to balloons in the night sky. There's no reason a pilot, or anyone else, would recognize it: The lights literally were nothing they had ever seen before—-but not necessarily anything extraterrestrial.
I suspect that the same "UFO" will make more appearances in the future.

Soon to be on an episode of UFO hunters I am sure.
I wonder if the producers will call you for an opinion or even an appearance.

Class description
The goal of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to practice a critical approach to interacting with a range of different types of texts. Students will focus on reading, forming arguments, and writing in a way that is attentive to the specificity of each work. We will survey short stories, novellas, and films from a range of periods and regions, and consider why and how each might be identified as science fiction and horror. In considering each work, we'll have opportunities to explore variable relationships between form, future, and fear suggested by this body of texts, and the roles the human body plays in these relationships. Course materials are subject to change.

IT was a case of life imitating art for "The Big Bang Theory" star Kaley Cuoco!
A source says Kaley's role as a ready-to-wed fiancée on her new flick "The Wedding Ringer" prompted her beau to propose.
The unlucky-in-love actress, 27, had been sporting a prop sparkler on and off the set of her new film, "The Wedding Ringer." And an insider says it was a signal to her tennis pro boyfriend, Ryan Sweeting, that she was ready for the real thing.
"Kaley's crazy about Ryan," said a source. "She was wearing the fake bling all around hoping Ryan would get the hint – and he did!"
Kaley and Ryan have been seen together since early August, after her short-lived relationship with "Man of Steel" star Henry Cavill fizzled out. She was previously engaged to addiction specialist Josh "Lazie" Resnik, but that romance ended in February 2012.
Kaley secretly dated her "Big Bang" co-star Johnny Galecki for two years. And after that, she was in a relationship with Chris French from the band Annie Automatic.
Despite the big announcement, Kaley's pals still hope she waits a while before walking down the aisle.
Ryan, 26, earned just $23,900 playing tennis this year and is ranked 532 in the world.
And as The ENQUIRER reported in August, he's also been busted on booze and drug charges in the past.
But none of that seems to matter to Kaley.
After Ryan proposed on Sept. 25, she tweeted: "Flying high, I could literally touch the sky with you…"

Kenneth Lylover Surf Chair
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Household, Misc. Tech, PC / Laptop
Kenneth Lylover created his Surf Chair for the "Internet Collection" competition at the Scandinavian Furniture Fair recently. It's easy to see why he managed to nab the Best Product award. The arc-shaped chair has a built-in LCD display, a mouse and keyboard for the user's lap, and a padded frame for comfort. We think it is a fine idea for couch potatoes who want to go the extra mile with their Net searching or those who work best in a semi-horizontal position.

I always thought with the prominent backstories of Lauren and Scotty, AI was looking for a teenage star. They could have a POP princess in Lauren ( remember Tyler even said she was "the one") or a country king in Scotty so they were operating on two different fronts. The two still have lots of voters, but there was something cheap about putting Scotty up there.....We heard Ryan say "random" a few times, but lots of people may not have heard/understood it. So I also saw it as a push for Scotty votes. More actual drama could have come with Jacob and Casey since most people were thinking Jacob or with Haley for obvious reasons

text: The quality of a literary work might not be linked exclusively to the quality of its sentences; then again, it might be. This October, Verlyn Klinkenborg, the author of the New York Times rural life column, a member of that newspaper's editorial board and a renowned teacher of the writer's craft, arrives for an evening talk at the Point Reyes Presbyterian Church and a Saturday writing workshop in a Petaluma barn. An entire day dedicated to the formation of sentences "may sound like a small, simple subject, but it isn't," Mr. Klinkenborg said. "It's the basis of good prose and unerring perception, the foundation of a writer's confidence." Mr. Klinkenborg, who lives on an upstate New York farm where he waxes poetical about the daily life and trials of agriculturalists, released a new compilation this year called More Scenes from the Rural Life. He will speak and sign books starting at 7 p.m. on Friday, October 25 at the church. The talk, sponsored by Point Reyes Books, is free. The following day's workshop costs $150 and space is limited.

Wize-Buys Pawn Brokers outlet A +++
I came across an old Winchester .22 a few weeks ago at the Wize Buys Pawn shop in Highland Mi. that brought back a lot of good memories as a boy and decided to buy it. The staff there were very friendly, outgoing, helpful and patient. The salesman did say they don't test fire any of their used guns and that they don't offer a warranty, but if there are any initial problems, just bring it back.
I couldn't wait to try it out in my backyard "range" as soon as I got home and sure enough, the extractor was worn out. I called the store and they said bring it back and we'll take care of you.
Sure enough, I left it with them for about 2 weeks and they called to let me know it was done. Their gunsmith put in a new extractor at no charge to me and now it works just great.
I'll definitely keep them in mind the next time I get the gun buying urge.
Oh, they also offer a 6 mo. layaway on gun purchases. Pretty convenient in this economy.

Although bats have a bad reputation, these nocturnal flying mammals contribute generously to Utah's ecosystem. Surprisingly, bats can eat 30 percent to 100 percent of their body weight in insects each night, ranging from crop-ruining beetles to scorpions.
Bats make up 20 percent of all mammals, with more than 950 species worldwide. Only three of these species actually feed on blood and are not among the 18 species living in Utah.During this time of year, Utah will see a small growth in the bat population. Here are some facts that might come in handy, especially if you find them roosting in your neighborhood.
What they are
Mammals capable of flightSome species can make a right-angle turn at 40 miles per hour.
Sky- and land-dwellersTheir wings fold, allowing them to crawl and hop on the ground.
Hibernators and migratorsSome species migrate with birds.
Flying foxes or fruit batsThese larger bats can have a wingspan of 6 feet. They eat fruit and pollen. They are found in Africa, Asia and Australia, and are of the suborder species Megachiroptera.
Microchiroptera (includes Utah bats)These bats are smaller, have pug-like noses and eat insects.

Most bats nurse their young together in maternity coloniesUtah bats roost in trees, caves, rock crevices, attics, buildings, bridges and barns. Some bats colonize while others roam in solitude. To encourage roosting, bat houses can be installed in enthusiasts' yards.
What they eat
Utah bats are carnivoresThey eat beetles, moths, mosquitoes, flies, crickets, scorpions and other pests.
How they eat
Bats use high-frequency sound, or echolocation, along with eyesight, to navigate and detect prey.
1. First the bat sends out ultrasonic squeaks through its mouth.
2. The squeaks' sound waves bounce off environmental objects and return to the bat as echoes.
3. The echoes are then computed by the bat's brain to form a "sound picture," and the bat understands its environment. Most echolocation is inaudible to humans.SOURCE: "Eyewitness Books: Mammals"
Myths about bats
All bats have rabiesRabies occurs in less than 1 percent of bats. Humans can contract the virus, and it is fatal if left untreated.
Bats will suck your bloodMostly birds, horses and cattle fall victim to vampire bats in Mexico, Central America and South America. These bats don't "suck" blood but make small cuts with their teeth.
Bats are blindBats have eyesight but are colorblind. They also use echolocation to "see" their environment.
Problems they cause
Bats can transmit diseases to humansHistoplasmosis, which primarily affects the lungs, is transmitted through bat droppings. Rabies, which affects the nervous system, is transmitted through a bite. Rabid bats behave strangely, such as being active during the day.
Bats occupy homesTo determine where bats may enter your home, check for gaps in siding and around chimneys.
Repelling them
All bats are protected by Utah law
It is illegal to intentionally kill a bat. The Environ-mental Protection Agency permits one chemical (naphthalene) as an indoor repellent.For more information, visit Bat Conservation International's Web site at www.batcon.org
How bat and bird wings compare A bat's "thumb" extends upward like a small claw.
A bat can move its wing like a hand.
Bat wings are made of a delicate, elastic skin.
A bird's wing structure is rigid. Most movement occurs at the point where the bones connect to the body.
Going batty
Most caves in Utah are gated or unaccessible to the public so roosting bats remain undisturbed. During the late summer, bats can usually be seen at Tibble Fork Reservoir, near Timpanogos Cave in American Fork Canyon.
Going caving
Visitors view the formations in the White Rocks Cave near Vernal. The photo is part of an exhibit at the Utah Museum of Natural History.The Utah Museum of Natural History explores caves in two exhibits that run Saturday through Oct. 2.
At Hogle Zoo
The zoo houses two kinds of bats: the Short-tailed Leaf-nosed Bat, shown above, and the Indian Flying Fox.

UK rates remain stable
The Bank of England has kept interest rates on hold for the fourth month in a row.
At the end of the monthly meeting of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), the Bank's base rate - which sets the trend for interest rates across the economy - was left at 6%.
A month ago, the high value of the pound had been a factor in the Bank's decision not to raise interest rates.
Since then, sterling has dropped significantly, easing the pressure on manufacturers exporting their goods, but raising new fears for inflation over the higher costs of imported raw materials.
Ian Peters, Deputy Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce, said: ''The Bank is right to avoid a knee-jerk reaction to initial signs of a weaker pound.
"Sterling remains above a level at which UK manufacturers and
exporters can compete effectively, and this is having damaging knock-on effects across the wider economy.
''With strong signs that the economy is slowing, sterling's recent depreciation does not pose an inflationary threat. Intense competition continues to exert downward pressure on prices.
''In the current economic climate we would want to see sterling down to a level well below three Deutschmarks before countenancing any increase in interest rates.''
Digby Jones, director general of the Confederation of British Industry, said: "Business is pleased at the news.
"So many sectors need more time to increase productivity and regain export markets.
"Raising interest rates would have dashed hopes of a further fall in the value of the pound at the time when there are few signs of inflation."
Sir Ken Jackson, general secretary of the Amalgamated Engineering and Electrical Union, said: "A rise would have been damaging.
"The next step is a fall in the pound to ease pressure on exporters."
John Monks, general secretary of the TUC, said: "Manufacturers trying hard to stay afloat will be relieved.
"Although in the long term rates must begin to fall again, a stretch of stability is the best bet for this struggling sector."
Some analysts expected the MPC to be most concerned about unexpectedly weak total output (GDP) figures for the first three months of the year and pessimism over the prospects for manufacturing.
New evidence that the UK economy is slowing down came this week when the Halifax announced that house prices had fallen by 0.4% in May. It was the second lender to announce a fall.
In the past month, the pound has dropped back as interest rates have continued to rise in other countries, especially in the US.
Some members of the MPC have argued that a weaker pound is inevitable, given the widespread belief that sterling has been overvalued.
This suggests it would be better for the economy if sterling were allowed to weaken sooner rather than later.
But others on the committee take the view that sterling's strength is vital to keep the price of imported goods down.
The latest official figures show that inflation remains subdued. The underlying rate, which excludes mortgage payments, fell to a record low of 1.9% last month, well below the Bank's 2.5% target.
New members
Two new members attended the Monetary Policy Committee meeting for the first time this month.
Professor Steve Nickell and Christopher Allsopp have replaced Professor Charles Goodhardt and Willem Buiter, the outspoken MPC member who resigned to join the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development.
Mr Allsopp was recently criticised by a House of Commons Treasury Select Committee, which urged the Chancellor to reconsider his appointment.
In its report, the Committee said members "were disappointed in his answers to our questions, and believe that this casts doubt on whether he possesses the skills required" to sit on the MPC.
But that was rejected by Gordon Brown, who has no statutory obligation to follow their advice.
Professor Nickell, who impressed the Committee more, is a labour market specialist - and deciding whether wages are rising too fast will be one of the key tasks facing the MPC.
