Technology is taking over 8212; at least, it appears to be that way at Stacked, a California restaurant. According to a Feb. 16 article in USA Today, Stacked's customers will order from iPads. Essentially,...

I have a unique appreciation for the value of books. As long as I can remember, my family has collected them. Bookshelves are present in every room in my house. When we last attempted a count, we gave up in the neighborhood of 5,000.

It may be slightly surprising, then, that I do not condemn the transformation of Houston's Lamar High School's library to get rid of books in order to add a coffee shop and e-books.

TCU (1-2) dropped its last match to Texas A&M, 6-1, Feb. 12 at College Station.

"We had a lot of opportunities early in the match," TCU head tennis coach Dave Borelli said in a TCU Athletics release after the loss to the Aggies. "It's going to be tough all year. We've got a tough schedule and we're going to keep playing good teams."
