That's 7 percent more than it was a year ago.
And $1,300 more than it was two years ago.
And $2,200 more than it was three years ago.
And $2,800 more than it was four years ago. See the trend?
And, in one final comparison, that's $3,900 more than it was five years ago.
While you're mulling that misery, meet Guy Bailey. He's the new president at UA. He's an Alabama alum and the former president of Texas Tech University. He replaced Robert Witt, who became chancellor of the University of Alabama system, and this week he began his new job. The 61-year-old Bailey's first day in his Tuscaloosa office was Tuesday.
That's when he said this: "We will do everything in our power to keep our costs under control."
Witt couldn't, and he was generally seen as a splendid administrator who took the university to unforeseen heights in research, expansion, academics and enrollment. (And that says nothing about the rejuvenation of the university's football team under Nick Saban.) Even Bailey, at his introductory press conference this week, called this the "golden age" of the University of Alabama.
Witt and the university's Board of Trustees spent the last five years spewing the same heartless logic used by trustee boards and presidents of countless other universities. Their hands are tied, they say. They are at the mercy of federal and state appropriations, they say. Students have an expanding list of financial options, such as grants and scholarships, they say. Expenses are going up in every part of a college campus, they say.
Factually, they are right.
Consider UA's plight. In 2008, the university received $616 million in federal and state money. This year, its check will be $173 million lighter than it was four years ago. Between the Great Recession and the miserly leadership exhibited by legislators in Montgomery, higher education has seen its appropriations slashed year after year. Legislators won't consider any methods to raise new revenue and know only one way to respond to tough economic times.
Public universities like Alabama, Auburn and Jacksonville State become middle managers of the state's bad news. Legislators who do the cutting aren't the ones who tell college students and their parents that they're going to have to ante up come tuition time. Legislators leave that decision to trustee boards and presidents, who then pass on the bad news from Montgomery in the form of higher tuition bills.
Remember, they say their hands are tied.
Yet, that's not the point.
Students and their parents are getting hammered. Middle-class families with middle-class checkbooks don't care if it is legislators' cowardice or trustees' knee-jerk reactions that cause tuition to precipitously rise. All they know is more and more Alabama families are finding it increasingly difficult to send their children to a state school — even though enrollment at most state universities continues to rise because people still see a college degree for what it is in today's marketplace: invaluable.
Earlier this summer, the Wall Street Journal reported that tuition and fees at four-year public schools have risen 150 percent since 1990, according to the College Board, a national university advisory group. Here's the real kicker: administrators constantly point to the government's expansion of loan, grant and assistance programs as proof that students are not being priced out of higher education.
Well, loans usually have to be repaid. And the Journal found that new graduates' average debt load from their tuition bills rose 24 percent from 2000 through 2010. The Progressive Policy Institute says new graduates in 2010 on average had a debt load of $16,932.
In fairness to UA, this isn't a Tuscaloosa-only problem; tuition increases blossom on virtually all Alabama campuses. It's a national issue, like poverty, that affects some states worse than others. But Alabama's situation is particularly nasty: The state is cash-poor and a sizeable percentage of Alabamians do not have a college education and barely earn a living wage — if they do at all. Meanwhile, the state desperately needs a skilled, educated populace to compete for jobs and better our lives. Education opens minds as well as doors.
This should be the question for Bailey and Alabama's other university presidents: What happens when only the well-to-do can afford the tuition and student-loan debt?
If this trend continues, we'll soon know the answer.

When he looked at the list of names next to the Rockne Hall scoreboard, Central Catholic coach Mike Kopp mentally ticked off six girls he knew weren't available Tuesday.
When the Vikettes had completed their game with Nazareth, the numbers on the scoreboard again favored them.
Central Catholic does not have a player among the area's top 25 scorers. The Vikettes have already lost more games than they did last season.
Yet with their 40-35 win over Nazareth, they showed they remain a player in the Lehigh Valley Conference girls basketball race. By beating the Blue Eagles, who are tied with Parkland for the North Division lead, Central Catholic enhanced its chances to nab a top-two seed for the LVC tournament.
The Vikettes (13-3 overall, 8-1 LVC) went into Thursday one game ahead of Nazareth and Parkland for second place in the overall league standings. Central Catholic has just one LVC game left against a team with a winning record, a Tuesday matchup with Parkland.
"I don't know that they have as much talent as they've had other years, but they do what they have to do," Nazareth coach Rich Bickert said Wednesday morning. "They don't care if the score is 20-18 as long as they've got the 20.
"That's the hardest thing to tell my team. They don't seem to like to slow down when they need to. When they [the Vikettes] had a one-point lead, they were very happy to hold the ball the rest of the game. I'm not sure we can do that at this point. They're very good at what they do."
Kopp knew his team would undergo a transition period this season after the graduation of two-time Morning Call player of the year Kerry Kinek and three other starters. He never anticipated shuffling players in and out of his lineup as much as he has this season, which he called one of the strangest he has had during his 33 years leading the Vikettes.
From lead guard Alyssa Mack playing through nagging injuries to senior Summer Sullivan suffering a torn ACL to several players missing chunks of times with illnesses, Central Catholic has struggled to find continuity on the court. The Vikettes still managed to start 7-0, but they lost three of their next five games as they ran into seasoned teams like Villa Maria Academy and Bethlehem Catholic.
Central Catholic followed its loss to Bethlehem Catholic by winning its next four games, including quality victories over Liberty and Nazareth. Six different players — Mack, Jackie Fronheiser, Meghan Dwyer, Emma Redding, Olivia Roseman and Darcy Wolf — have led the Vikettes in scoring at least once this season.
"It's really been who's playing well today, this 5-minute stretch even, and who's going to be playing well the next 5-minute stretch," Kopp said of his rotation. "The kids have a great attitude. They're very unselfish, and they're really competitors. They feel they can compete with anybody."
The Vikettes are a near-lock for a chance to compete for another LVC title. They went into Thursday needing one more win or Emmaus loss to lock up another West Division title.
Kopp always emphasizes that he wants his team to peak once the postseason arrives. Central Catholic has two more weeks to work on its chemistry before the season's most important games arrive.
"In other years, we would probably be a little bit further along than we are this year," he said. "But I'm extremely happy to be where we are because of that whole situation [with injuries and illnesses]. It's amazing to be where we are and still fighting for the No. 1 seed [in the LVC tournament]. We want to get up as high as we can."
Pursuing perfection
With two weeks left in the regular season, the teams leading the three major leagues in The Morning Call's coverage area have perfect league marks.
Pocono Mountain West, the Mountain Valley Conference front-runner, was the team closest to running the table entering Thursday. The Panthers (13-2 overall, 8-0 MVC) had two tough league games remaining, against East Stroudsburg South on Thursday and Pleasant Valley on Feb. 1. Pocono Mountain West beat East Stroudsburg South by seven and downed Pleasant Valley by 18 in its first run through MVC play.
Bethlehem Catholic, the Lehigh Valley Conference East Division and overall leader, began Thursday needing five league wins to complete a perfect run through its conference schedule. The Golden Hawks play just one more LVC game against a team with a winning record, a Feb. 1 game against Liberty. Bethlehem Catholic ripped the Hurricanes 47-19 the first time the teams met.
Northwestern began Thursday five Colonial League wins away from a perfect record in both the league and its 22-game regular-season schedule. The Tigers have nothing but games against North Division foes left. Bangor was the only team to stay within 15 points of Northwestern in the first round of intradivision games.
As the last remaining unbeaten in the area, Northwestern has spent the last few weeks knowing every opponent wants to be the one to end its winning streak. Coach Chris Deutsch said he hasn't sensed his girls playing with added pressure because of their record.
"I say this — put us in close games," Deutsch said after Saturday's 28-26 win over Emmaus. "Do you want to lose? No. Are we going to play to lose? No.
"But I'd rather be in 4-5-point games in the regular season. Give us some of those. I don't want it being 30-point blowouts every game, because then I think you do get in the playoffs and tighten up in a close game. We've been in some close games."
Free throws
• Bethlehem Catholic became the first team to hold Parkland under 45 points since Whitehall did in a 32-17 loss Dec. 21. The Trojans were averaging 54.8 points over an 11-game stretch before scoring 39 against the Golden Hawks.
• Upper Perkiomen won its first game of 2013 when it beat Pottstown on Tuesday. The Indians started 7-3 before dropping five straight games after the New Year.

Common Core Sample: Plumbing the Dark Mysteries of National StandardsFebruary 16, 2012 | Gaetan Pappalardo
I'm cranky. Are you? I've just been a downright Scrooge, though I really don't mean to. And I didn't know why until today. You see, for the last three months I've been aligning and adding the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to all of my lesson plans. And, like drinking wine tainted with an undetectable, scentless, tasteless, and usually in powder form, poison, it's been secretly making me ill.
Maybe it's been the recent blogs and articles about the CCSS that opened my eyes or the recent workshop I attended on aligning the CCSS. Not sure. But I do know that I'm not usually cranky, except when I'm hungry.
Raising the Bar
I can feel there's a transformation going on within the kids in my classroom, and I have my suspicions that these standards are playing a not-so-insignificant part. Right now it's only a minor morph, but I feel it. They are growing up, maturing, thinking deeper and wider. In my eyes, they're more like eleven. But they don't know it. ("I'm eight, Mr. P." "No, you're eleven, darnit! Act like it. It's standard now.") CCSS has pushed me to push my students two, three, four levels above their heads. I'm all about pushing, getting the most out of my students. But right now I feel like I'm trying to push a slimy oyster into a slot machine. It's just not going to happen. And the CCSS is telling me that what I'm teaching is standard, middle of the road stuff. Like I said, cranky.
It's this constant tug-of-war between what's standard (Do we really have a standard student? A standard teacher? A standard learner?) and what eight-year-olds can physically and mentally do, what their physiology allows them to create, deduce, interpret and analyze.
Sure, I want my students to excel. I want them to be able to...
LA.3.RI.3.3 - [Grade Level Standard] - Describe the relationship between a series of historical events, scientific ideas or concepts, or steps in technical procedures in a text, using language that pertains to time, sequence, and cause/effect.
Absolutely! That would be awesome. And I want them to...
LA.3.RL.CCR.8 - [Anchor Standard] - Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, including the validity of the reasoning as well as the relevance and sufficiency of the evidence.
Eight-year-olds, dude.
Muddying the Waters
This is all in good intention, but maybe... I've got it! Maybe my pissy mood is rooted in the standards' utter lack of a clue regarding the machinations of the third grade mind. When a third grader delineates an argument, what does it look and sound like? And more importantly -- what will mastery look like?
Man, I don't know. And I can't find a thing about it. If we need to be UBD-ing it, we need to know the end point before we can make a plan to get there. Right? I wouldn't attempt to teach someone how to play the blues like Muddy Waters without making them listen to Muddy first. If the state and government want students to achieve on a higher level, teachers, students and parents probably should know what that level looks like. Right now, the end is muddy.
The standards look good on paper. They go deep on paper. But . . . teachers have been teaching for a long time in a NCLB mind-set -- shallow, watery skills and memorized facts to pass a test at the end of the year. Kind of like a temporary tattoo. On paper, the CCSS embeds deeper ink, but time is needed to turn the ship away from the iceberg. And it's a big ship, my friends. Millions of students need to be rewired. Time, time, time. Time is needed for deconstruction and reconstruction of the student and the teacher. It's probably not a good time to start a new way to evaluate teachers, but so many states are in this accountability frenzy that is doesn't matter. How many teachers will lose their jobs because of students not cutting it with the new standards? That's a bit of a concern, especially when fifty percent of teacher evaluation is based on an assessment directly conceived from the CCSS.
A National Standard
All but five states have adopted the CCSS. This is the closest that the United States has ever been to a countrywide standardization. I've been thinking about this, and I'm not sure if it's good or bad. If the standards live up to the hype, then it's good? When I learned to play tennis, I had to break a few bad habits before I could thoroughly practice for perfection. If I hit a rotten forehand four hundred times it's still a rotten forehand (probably worse). Can't blame my effort. Hopefully the CCSS is not rotten. However, I don't think it matters because we've already jumped off the diving board. I just hope there's water in the pool. But seriously, if something is grand and standardized, is it no longer grand? When I visited the Nancie Atwell Center for Teaching and Learning, I saw all teachers teaching the same way, but it was marvelous and real and I would want my own children to experience such an education. The whole school ran on the same systems and believed in the same philosophy. It worked for them. I guess you can say it was standard, but it is an honest and real education. Thomas Newkirk, in his article The Text Itself brings up a very good point that we should all be aware of as we attempt to teach and live under the shadow of CCSS: "Bad things happen to good ideas when they become mandates."
Will national standards raise the United States out of the muck and grime? Will it save our souls from the nuclear fallout of NCLB? In the words of Butt-head, "Uh, no." It's too grand of a scheme to work, right? It's too vast and open for interpretation. What really matters is what's going on in the classroom day-to-day, hour-to-hour and minute-to-minute. The small stuff, brothers and sisters.
What experiences have you had with the CCSS?
Do you think it will lead to a national curriculum?
What pressures? Stress?
What successes?

Why Does Fear and Loathing Prevail Among Educators?
Crankiness and other extreme emotions aside, standards and using them as the basis for lesson planning is actually a good thing. Why?
I've taught in both private and public schools. While neither are perfect, the latter has an advantage and the great thing is that pre-service teacher education at the post-secondary level in PA state universities have you write at least a hundred lesson plans until it's all said and done. The common core is standards or anchors. Proper lesson objectives descend from the standards. The lesson assessment must align with the lesson objective, otherwise, the lesson is ineffective.
With private schools, I've seen curricula invented out of thin air, based on an individual teacher's preferences or biases. In private schools, many teachers are uncertified, so they've never been trained to compose a lesson plan, to properly implement instruction, or to compose a proper assessment. They may be masters of content, but as many of you know who possess college degrees, many professors simply do not know how to teach. They can feed information and that's it.
That's not teaching. I once knew of a private school teacher who could not understand why she was fired for giving a failing grade to a student whose political views did not match hers, despite the student having evidently written a paper with above average form, grammatics, spelling, etc.
C'mon, Gae, I believe you are intelligent enough to understand that the language by which the standards are written are not meant to be read by third grade students. Any college grad should know the definition of "delineate."
As the other respondent mentioned, many creative ways can be implemented to meet the standards with some imagination. Your better texbook series offer loads of suggestions, especially those in language arts. Think of ways to make a lesson involve as many different standards across different subjects. It can be done. I've seen it work.
It takes imagination and some work, that's all, plus a little faith in the process.
I know of this animus toward NCLB because I've been hearing the chorus of complaints in faculty lounges for years. It's mostly from the older veteran teachers who don't want new challenges or extra work. They want to repeat the same basic lessons year in and year out and coast toward retirement and their pension.
You get what you give!
While I patiently wait for the Next Generation Science Standards (call 'em Common Core and face trademark infringement!) I feel the pain of the elementary teacher that must sift through standards for all subject areas. While well intentioned and idealistic, the standards will still only accomplish what the teacher and their administrators put in to them. Teaching during the last round of standards alignment, I saw twenty teachers take twenty different approaches and come up with twenty different ways to make their curriculum "meet" the standards. Some would bend the meaning and intent of the standards, simply to continue teaching the same material, or to show that they indeed have "covered" all of the standards.
We need networks of educators discussing the outward reflections you seek for each and every standard. Then, we need teachers who are willing to take the time to reflect on the impact of every learning experience on every student in their classrooms, then abandon, modify, or supplement as necessary to justify their accountability.
Be cranky...it's warranted.

Dragon Moray Eel
Horns. Big jagged teeth. Orange stripes and black and white spots. And a coating of slimy mucus from head to tail. Puff the Magic Dragon this isn't.
But the dragon moray eel (Enchelycore paradalis) isn't quite as dangerous as he looks. At rest within his lair — er — coral cave and flashing those choppers — so big that the fish can barely close his mouth — he's just breathing by pumping water over his gills.
The horns are really long nostrils located just above his eyes. Dragon eels have an acute sense of smell that serves them well as they ambush hunt at night. And the mucous coating over this fish's thick, muscular body protects him from parasites and nasty scrapes on sharp corals.
Dragon morays live at depths of 25 to 150 feet on reefs in the tropical Pacific. Amid the coral formations, their shocking patterns actually afford them camouflage. Sniffing out passing octopuses and fishes, this dragon lunges with mouth wide open. If he connects, the prey is impaled on many razor-sharp recurved teeth that make it impossible to wriggle free. The dragon moray will eat anything that fits within his gaping expandable mouth. (That excludes divers and snorkelers, although the eel won't hold back from biting if bothered.)
Even fishes with sharp fin spines are on the menu. The eel moves prey around in his mouth until it's pointed headfirst, with any spines flat, down the deep, dark tunnel of no return. But the eel saves the best behavior for last. After swallowing the prey whole, the moray ties himself in a knot. Looping around twice, the eel slips his head through the loops. Knotting helps squish up and then spread out the prey in the fish's digestive system. No bumpy bulge to get stuck in coral or crevice for this dragon.
Finally, while we've been calling our dragon "him," these eels have both male and female sex organs. So a dragon moray can start life either as a male or a female, but the females can change gender if there aren't many males around.
See more of the moray in Wild Reef.
Check out new photos of Shedd's Wild Reef exhibit.

SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Sacramento authorities have issued a felony arrest warrant for comedian Katt Williams related to a police chase.
The Sacramento County Sheriff's Department tells KCRA-TV ( http://bit.ly/STauwW) that the warrant is for felony reckless driving stemming from a Nov. 25 incident.
The California Highway Patrol says Williams fled officers on a three-wheeled motorcycle after being spotted driving on the sidewalk near a Hyatt Hotel in downtown Sacramento.
Williams was asked to stop and refused, the CHP said, leading to the pursuit.
The CHP says Williams nearly hit five people during the chase.

When it comes to what's different between last year's 13-1 LSU team and this year's 5-0 (but less impressive the past two weeks) squad, cornerback Tharold Simon thinks he knows the problem:
"Last year, it was so much fun. We came together in the locker room, clowning around on the field — still being serious, but also having fun.
This year is totally different. We're not clowning around in the locker room or talking outside of practice. We don't get together like we did last year… That's been a big problem for us. We just need people to step up. The whole team needs to step up and lead each other."
Simon also told The Baton Rouge Advocate that outside pressures and the loss of Tyrann Mathieu have added to the team's morale issues.
That's probably not what you want to hear a player saying if you're a Tiger fan preparing to watch tomorrow's LSU-Florida Top 10 clash from the Swamp.

Valpo's Giancola Named to I-AA All-America Second Team
Monday, December 15, 2003Valparaiso University wide receiver Rob Giancola was selected to the 2003 I-AA All-America Second Team by The Sports Network. The I-AA All-America Team is comprised of all NCAA I-AA schools, both scholarship and non-scholarship. Giancola is Valpo's first national I-AA All-America since defensive back Eric Kenesie earned Associated Press and Coaches honors in 1998 and 1999.
Giancola, a junior from Whiting, Ind./HS, led all I-AA receivers with 1,496 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns. He averaged 26.2 yards per catch with 14 of his touchdowns of 30-or-more yards. Giancola ranked second among all I-AA players with 140 points and second in receiving yards per game (124.67).
In helping Valpo (8-4) win its first-ever Pioneer Football League Championship, Giancola shattered eight school records. The 6'1", 215-pounder established Valpo's single-season school marks for scoring (140 points), touchdowns (23), receiving yards (1,496) and touchdown receptions (23); single-game records for receiving yards (275), touchdown receptions (4, twice) and points (tied, 24, twice); and the career record for touchdown receptions (36). He will enter his senior season needing 17 points to become Valpo's all-time scoring leader (Joe Pahr, 234 from 1949-51).
Giancola was one of only three players from a I-AA Mid-Major non-scholarship school to be named to either the first or second teams. The wide receivers named to the I-AA All-America First Team were senior Javarus Dudley of Fordham and junior Efrem Hill of Samford.
Valpo quarterback David Macchi, who threw all 23 of Giancola's touchdowns, and Valpo defensive back Chris Daniels joined Giancola on The Sports Network I-AA Mid-Major All-America Team announced earlier this month.

Members of the Nevada delegation, which is dominated by Ron Paul supporters, were among those who attempted to enter Paul's name for a nomination vote.
The delegation cast 17 votes for Ron Paul, five for Mitt Romney, and five abstentions instead of the 20 Romney won as a result of the Republican caucus.
Nevada Republican Party Vice Chairman James Smack congratulated Romney on his nomination and said that the state's party leadership disavowed the action by some of the delegates.

Hello everybody,
I have a Iphone 4gb,
And my iphone has fallen a few weeks ago, and i have dead strip ever since.
It's in the same spot as the dock, and the slide to unlock button.
I am going to buy a new iphone 16gb in about 2 months, but i would like to use my iphone until then as a ipod.
So my question is.. is it possible to move the slide to unlock a bit higher?
And would it also be possible to maybe move the keyboard higher in the screen?
I have tried to set the screen sensitivity higher, but no luck
Thank you

I've tried the split-P bass pickup.
Moderate output, not well defined sound referring all the frequencies (bass, mid-high). I'm sure that I'll not purchase another one.
I purchased a Golden Age P-bass pickup because Stew Mac was out of the pickup I normally used for projects. I took a chance, and my reaction...WOW! These pickups are warm, and have great vintage tone and are affordable. They are now my first choice for replacement pickups and will be used for my next custom project. They are superior to all those MIJ, MIM Fender pickups. If you're looking for great warm, fat, vintage tone, this is your pickup!
I've used Golden Age pickups on my guitars before and have always been happy. I have a cherry 2006 Fender USA P-bass . So I put some Golden Age in it and have never been more happy. Compared with other P-basses at the Guitar Center and to me sounds better then some of the originals. My 2000 bass has a real vintage sound I just love it. The best money I've ever spent. Somebody had put Bartolini's in it and they weren't my thing. The Stew Macs blew them away.

With your help, 49,586 backers
preordered Tiles totaling $2,681,297.
Preorder now for $19.95Preorder your Tiles
Just attach, stick or drop your Tile into any item you might lose: laptops, wallets, keys, guitars, bikes—you name it. Then get on with the fun.
The Tile App on your phone makes it easy to find your Tile(s) anywhere, anytime.
Use Tile on as many things as you want.
Add up to 10 Tiles on an account.
You can share access to Tiles with friends,
family, and trusted coworkers.
Tiles will sound an alert if triggered.
If you can hear it, you can find it.
The Tile app remembers where it last saw your Tile, so you can easily find it right where you left it.
With the Tile community, it's like having the rest of the world help you find what you're looking for.
Works with iPhone 4S and newer, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd gen and newer, and iPod Touch 5th gen and newer.
You can see yourself getting closer and further away from the Tile when within a 50 - 150ft range.
Nope, you never need to replace the batteries or even charge your Tiles.
Tiles last a year. We'll remind you when it's time to order new Tiles and send you an envelope to recycle your old ones.
Tiles come with a built-in speaker so you can easily hear it in close range.
The Tile app saves the last GPS location it saw your Tile.
Works with iPhone 4S and newer, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd gen and newer, and iPod Touch 5th gen and newer.
No, not at this time.
At this time Android does not support Bluetooth 4.0. A few Android phone manufacturers have released BLE SDKs, however they are lacking in quality and stability. At Tile, the quality of our products is of utmost importance, and until there exists an Android platform that meets our quality standards, we will not be releasing a Tile app for Android.
The range from your phone is 50 - 150ft depending on the environment. However, if any other Tile user's phone is within 50 - 150ft of your Tile, you will receive an update with the location of your Tile. When this happens, you will see a pin on the map view for your Tile. This essentially makes the range limitless once there are enough Tile users in your area.
Each Tile lasts for one year after activation with the Tile app. When a year is almost up, we'll remind you to order a new Tile.
Each Tile comes with a double-sided adhesive that can go on the back of your Tile. This can stick to virtually all surfaces.
No. The Tile team takes your security seriously. Only you and the Tile users you've explicitly shared your Tiles with can search for your Tiles.
The main prerequisite is solid Bluetooth 4.0 support on Android. Once that is available we can start making plans towards bringing Tile to Android.
No. When the Tile cloud servers send the Tile location update to your fellow Tile community member, none of your Tile account information will be shared with them. All that person will receive is a GPS location. He or she will not know who provided the location update.
When you pull your Tile out of the box, depress the 'e' on the Tile. Then, from the Tile app, go to the Add a Tile screen and hold your new Tile up to your iPhone. The Tile app will automatically add your new Tile to your account.
The campaign funds will be used for the first Tile manufacturing and production run.
Tile will begin shipping the very first orders in April of 2014 based on the order in which people purchased. Orders placed after December 20th will likely be shipped in the Summer of 2014.
Your credit card will be charged one to two days after placing your order.
Tile is available for shipment in the US, Canada, countries in the
EU, Australia, and New Zealand. Canadian shipments require a
shipping charge of $8. EU, Australia, and New Zealand require a
shipping charge of $14. In the future, we will be rolling it out
to other countries.
June 27th update - Due to extremely high demand for Tile in the EU and ANZ, we have begun accepting pre-orders for shipments there! Thanks for all the feedback.
Tile is designed so that you never replace the battery. There are
several benefits of this design:
1. Ease of Use - Trying to find the right coin cell battery is a pain. You never have to do this with Tile.
2. Waterproof - Tile is waterproof.
3. Thinner - Allows Tile to be much thinner.
4. Latest and Greatest - Once a year you get the latest and greatest Tile.
From the Tile community perspective, part of our vision is making Tiles less expensive and longer lasting every year.

10614 Beardslee Blvd Ste A, Bothell, WA | Directions 9801147.760717 -122.200108
Outstanding service, very personable, honest, precise and thorough – I began seeing Dr Barnhart over 30 years ago and have never trusted my eyes to anyone else. I now have my kids going to him as well. He takes the time to explain any testing/procedures performed and he never seems rushed when he talks to you. How many doctors today take the time to ask you about family or other things going on in your life? I would recommend Dr Barnhart to anyone who is looking for quality care. You might beat his price somewhere else but you won't get the same value!!
I refuse to see anyone else – I couldn't be happier with my eye care, wonderful doctor and staff. Great with kids and adults alike. My favorite doctor in any field.
The BEST eye doctor – I have seen "Dr. B" for close to 30 years (and I'm only 32). He's an incredibly caring, knowledgeable doctor. I can only hope he practices long enough for my kids to see him.

I am a true "newbie" - and quite confused at this point! I can't determine if we need a new well, or whether there may be another problem. I am sorry for the length of the post, but I wanted to include information that I have seen in other posts, that may, or may not be, relevant to my problem.
I have been in my house for 6 years. At the time we purchased the house, the well failed the flow test. The sellers drilled the existing well deeper - I believe the well is around 400- 500 feet in rock, with a submersible 1 hp pump that was replaced in July, 2002. We also have a pumptec and a 202 well x-trol pressure tank. We do have a Culligan water conditioning system. When the tank is full of water, the pressure gauge reads 65 psi. I am told that the prior owners used to get sand in the water - we have never had that occur.
For several years we had no problems with water supply. As little as 18 months ago, I could have the hose running for up to an hour without running out of water. Over time, water supply has become a problem. We thought, initially, that we needed a new well. However, the problem we have with the water supply is not consistent. There are times when we have no water after a single shower - other times I can do three loads of wash. I also noticed that when we do not have water, that shutting off the water supply to the toilets seemed to generate water quicker than not.
Today I was determined to figure out the problem. I drained all the water from the tank, shut off the pump, and measured the pressure in the tank - it was zero. From what I have read, that seems to indicate a problem.
We pressurized the tank to 38 psi - however, no water for at least a full hour. I measured the pressure again, and it held at 38 psi. However, as soon as I turn on the water, the pressure plummets and the tank empties and we are out of water again. My understanding is that this tank only holds a couple of gallons of water.
Does my lack of supply of water have anything to do with the pressure in the tank? If not, then why is the pumptec is not shutting off the pump if we are, in fact, out of water? I thought that was the purpose of the pumptec.
Our well driller was here about 8 weeks ago and "witched" for a good spot for a new well; the spot he chose was about twenty or thirty feet from the existing well on a downgrade. Given the expense of drilling a new well, I really want to make sure we need it. How do I know if there is water in my well??
If anyone could point me in the right direction, it would be sooo appreciated!

No More Fedora and openSUSE
When is Linux Magazine going to put some new Linux DVDs in the magazine? Not more openSUSE and Fedora.
How many copies do you think I need?
We try to cover a range of options with our DVD series. The fact is, though, that we have fairly solid sales information telling us that more readers prefer mainstream distros such as Fedora, openSUSE, and Ubuntu. For this reason, we try to cover the major releases of the most popular Linux alternatives.
We do, however, keep our eye on other up-and-coming alternatives, such as this month's Linux Mint DVD.
Tech Tools
Reading through Tech Tools in the latest issue, I found myself constantly thinking, "Wait, is this software open source?" The articles give no clear indication.
Please consider adding some sort of mark to distinguish reviews of proprietary and free software.
While it would be great to see the actual license specified (e.g., Apache, GPL3, Artistic, BSD, or Proprietary), I would be happy with just a small "OS" symbol if the license meets the open source definition.

Breanna Stewart continues to struggle after sensational start

STORRS — The significant struggles for UConn forward Breanna Stewart reached a new low Monday night against Baylor when the freshman played her least productive game in a Huskies' uniform.
She played only six minutes, 32 seconds during UConn's 76-70 loss to No. 1-ranked Baylor. Her first stint lasting only 23 seconds before being pulled by coach Geno Auriemma for allowing an offensive rebound.

Motorised scanner couch, 1957
This adjustable couch was used in conjunction with an overhead 'scintillation' scanner. The scanner produced images of the body for clinical diagnosis. The patient lay on the couch underneath the scanner. The couch was then adjusted to view the appropriate region of the body such as the liver, thyroid, kidney or brain. Two electric motors drive the floating top of the couch. One is for horizontal adjustments and the other for vertical adjustments. This motorised scanner couch was state-of-the-art in the 1950s. It was superseded by advances in medical technology and taken out of service by the late 1970s.

Nice stat. It has 4 wires because it is a double pole switch, which means it can control both legs of a 240volt heater.
You need a 120 volt stat.
Im in the process of installing a new thermostat in my home. When I pulled off the thermostat to see what voltage it was, the meter said it was 120V.
So I went ahead and ordered a new 120V line voltage thermostat from Honeywell. Model # TL8230A. I wanted a programable thermostat that would function well and look nice on the wall.
My question is the thermostat on the wall has 2 wires coming from the box. The new thermostat has 4 wires coming from it. Did I buy the wrong one or is there a way to wire this in correctly.
BTW: This is for a 120V oil fired boiler baseboard heat system.
Any help would be greatly appricated.
Thank you

Or just use one of the switch legs.

Looks like you could use either both black wires or both white wires; the thermostat apparently interrupts both pairs. Most electricians would choose to use the black pairs (since black normally is the "hot" wire), but it really doesn't matter if you're only switching one single-wire circuit. Use one color, and save the other for a spare in case the thermostat's contacts ever fail (not likely).
That thermostat seems to have some electronic functions, so it needs power to operate those functions. It appears to be more than just a switch.
It appears to need power AND it needs to be able to switch.
Also, original poster said he has a 115 Volt system, but has bought a 208/240 Volt thermostat.
Something seems strange because I posted on this subject a few days ago but don't find it here. Is there another thread on this subject?
Here is the reply that I posted where you put your question on the ELECTRICAL fourm. That thread seems to have died so am copying my reply to this one.
This is a case where you must:
1. Determine what the old thermostat did with the two wires.
2. Determine what connection and configuration of the new thermostat will give you the necessary function of the old thermostat.
Answers to these questions are usually found in the material that comes with the old and new thermostats. If you don't have the material for the old thermostat, then you should try to find the model number and search on line for the data.
With a 2-wire thermostat, the usual configuration is that the thermostat connects the wires when there is a demand for heat.
The page at this link http://www.thermostatshop.com/manual...n%20Manual.pdf says that the TL8230A http://www.air-n-water.com/product/TL8230A1003.html is for 208 or 230 Volts; but you measured 120 Volts. You might want to find out what your old one is before you get something crossed up. There is a picture at the link which shows that the new thermostat is connected to power at the inner pair of the four wires, and connected to the heater load at the outer pair of the four wires.
Your TL8230A may be usable with your system connection, but you need to determine what the internal circuit does before you apply power to it.
I would not want to GUESS at how to hook up an $80 thermostat. If you do, WATCH FOR THE SMOKE!
There is a little-known fact about many electrical devices. The manufacturer encapsulates a small amount of smoke in the device and that smoke is essential for the device to work. If the smoke ever escapes from the device, then it will not work and it has to be replaced.
I just found the edit to your original post which says that you are operating an oil fired hot water heating system.
That makes me suspect that your original thermostat was switching the hot wires to power to the boiler.
That would give you 115 Volts when you measure the circuit because you are measuring from the hot, through the aquastat, to the neutral or ground.
When the switch closes to run the boiler, you will have ZERO VOLTS across the wires at the thermostat.
Your very nice new thermostat needs power at all times so the electronic functions will work. The literature says it is a 208/240 Volt thermostat. It MIGHT work on 115 Volts if you always had 115 Volts, but you would need a neutral for that to have power at all times.
You should also be aware that the thermostat is rated for resistive loads such as electric baseboard. It will probably run a small motor such as a 1/6 HP motor for a boiler, but is not rated for those loads.
The available literature for the thermostat, and the information that you have provided, don't give enough information to figure out how to safely and effectively hook up the thermostat. At a minimum, I believe you need at least one more wire to use that thermostat and I can't tell you if that 208/240 Volt thermostat will work on a 120 Volt circuit.

Durham >Food & Dining > Akashi Japanese Grill & Sushi Bar
2223 NC Hwy 54, Durham, NC | Directions 2771335.901675 -78.892957
Mon. - Thu., Sun. 5pm - 9pm;Fri. - Sat. 5pm - 10pm
LOVE LOVE LOVE – Best sushi and best prices in the area. We've tried them all and none compare to Akashi! Always delicious and great value. We go about once a week and have a great dining experience. If you like sushi its a must. My parents go with us, they don't like sushi but they like the grilled snapper and hibachi style menu as well.
My favorite sushi place in the Triangle – I've been a customer of this restaurant since they opened their doors. I have been to many of the other sushi restaurants in the area, but I keep coming back to Akashi for a lot of reasons: (1) the fish always feels fresh, (2) they have one of the largest selections of creative rolls (over 80!) that I have ever seen, (3) their prices are affordable and a good value for what you get, (4) their waitstaff is friendly and accommodating, and (5) their restaurant feels clean.
Their ambiance has evolved with time from being plain to having a modern Asian feel. Occasionally, their service can be slow, but that has been an exception rather than a rule from my plethora of visits there.
Reasonably priced and good food – Owner on site.
Good sushi at a reasonable price:)
Great Sushi Great Prices – Akashi is our new fave sushi restaurant in the area. The sushi never fails to satisfy and the you can't beat the prices. Try the tuna jaw appetizer...you won't be disappointed!!
Great Sushi and Service – They food is fantastic and cheap. Also they are usually pretty fast even at lunch when they are super busy. The sushi chef's are super nice and we love sitting at the sushi bar and chatting with them.
Best sushi in Triangle - I kid you not – This is admittedly almost the same review that I entered on Akashi's other Citysearch entry. I did want to point out that when you see overwhelming 5 star reviews with multiple paragraphs of praise and then just a few people with vague criticisms who give 1 stars, hopefully you can draw the correct conclusion as to which to trust. Maybe it's the competition spouting off jealously, maybe it's somebody who feels the need to be a contrarian, who knows, who cares. :)
So I'll keep it brief here - I've eaten sushi all over Asia, big cities in this country etc. This place surprisingly rivals some of the best ones I've ever been to. Don't get me wrong, of course Akashi doesn't have the super high-end ingredients and class of a place like Osho in the Bay Area, but then again, you're not paying a fortune either. The half off sushi really is half off, no silly "equal or lesser value" gimmicks. The chef is the guy who made nearby Shiki Sushi famous, this is his new place and if you dare to compare, you'll see why people are raving. Talk to him a little and you'll see just how dedicated he is to his craft. If you are a real sake fan, ask for the imported sakes which are not on the menu.
The only cons are just the fact that it's in a pretty run down strip mall, and the decor is fairly plain. (They've spruced it up a lot recently, so the bright cafeteria lights and cheap chairs etc. are thankfully gone.) I come here for the excellent food, friendly service, and convenient 54/55 location. If you want fancy atmosphere, go to Shiki. If you want the best sushi in the Triangle at unbelievably cheap prices, you owe it to yourself to try Akashi.
Krab with a "k" – Rolls were marginal, nigiri was just okay. Careful when ordering the "Crab" nigiri; they don't tell you its actually the artificial stuff and has all the appeal of fish flavored spaghetti. Yikes.
great everything – the service was great, but best of all the food. the sushi ive been to places all over the triangle but they have the best sushi. Just becuase its a sushi resturant doesnt mean it doesnt still uphold high standards for everything else. the steak and chicken i had was cooked perfectly and you dont get shorted on it either. the rice was great. the soup was the best soup i have had at any japanese resturant. i ate the tofu and spinich soup. ten times better then the onion soup. be sure to try it. if you get a chance be sure to check out akashi japanese resturaunt. you wont regret it
best sushi at the best prices in the triangle – Simply the best in the triangle. I have been eating sushi since I was in grade school and this gem is the best I have ever found. The prices here are very affordable, and the sushi selection is vast and fresh. Even in you don't enjoy sushi, the teppenyaki selection here is wonderful. The head teppenyaki chef has more than 20 years experience. I took my date here and she was very impressed!
Favorite Sushi Place – I love Akashi for three reasons. One because it is in a great location. It is very close to work, and very easy to get to. Two because their sushi is amazing. I have found that not only do they have really good sushi that is fresh, but everything is at such a reasonable price, and that is hard to come by these days. The last reason is their great employees. I always get good service there. Sometimes the waitresses are busy, but I have never waited to long for a refill or for a check. It is altogether a great place to eat.
