It's what passes for good news on college costs these days: Private colleges and universities increased tuition 3.9 percent this fall, a rate well above overall inflation, but the smallest increase in at least four decades, and substantially lower than prices have been rising at public universities.
The figures released Thursday by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities highlight some of the complexities within an overall trend of rising college costs.
The list price at private colleges remains substantially higher than at publics — $29,230 this fall compared to a bit over $8,000 last year at public institutions (neither figure includes room and board).
But private colleges, which enroll about a quarter of four-year college students, typically also award more financial aid. The latest NAICU survey of 445 private colleges calculates they disbursed 6.2 percent more aid this fall than a year ago, following increases at least as large each of the previous three years.
That reduces the average net cost at private colleges, what families actually pay, to around $12,900, according to the most recent figures from the College Board, whose more comprehensive annual study of college costs is due out later this month.
Factoring in that aid, plus expanded federal aid and tax credits, net tuition and fees at private colleges actually fell 4.1 percent in inflation-adjusted terms between 2006 and 2011, according to the College Board.
"Students and families are increasingly price- and value-conscious," said NAICU President David L. Warren. "Private college leaders are listening and working hard to keep students' out-of-pockets costs as low as possible and provide the best value for the tuition dollar."
According to NAICU, 24 private institutions froze tuition this year, among them a handful of prominent institutions such as Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts. Others have committed to holding prices stable for all four years a student is enrolled.
Still, even net costs are eye-popping for families suffering through an extended stretch of stagnant incomes. Student debt is rising and remains higher for graduates of private institutions. New graduates of private colleges who borrowed owed on average $28,100 at graduation, according to the most recent College Board figures, compared to $22,000 for graduates of four-year publics.
For students who don't get aid, many of the most expensive private colleges now cost more than $200,000 for a four-year degree. Last year, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education, 123 colleges charged more than $50,000 per year in combined tuition, fees, room and board. Topping the list was Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, N.Y., whose website lists this year's costs, including a full meal plan, at $63,727.
According to Sarah Lawrence, about 63 percent of students receive aid from the college, and the average award in 2010-2011 was about $31,000.
The NAICU survey factored in responses from 445 of NAICU's 960 members, but in past years the survey's findings have fallen almost exactly in line with those of the College Board's more comprehensive survey.

Zaiat Review
What is Zaiat?
Zaiat is an unregulated investment platform similar to Platinummarketcorp, which we reviewed earlier. Problem with unregulated investment platforms is that they are not reliable and abuse the regulations. Make sure to stay away from them as they are anonymous and that they can disappear any time without notice. Companies providing online investment services without a license cannot provide their clients with any sort of protection.
Zaiat Regulation
Zaiat is unregulated and most likely totally illegal, which ultimately means that your funds will be in danger if you deposit! So, yet again, there is another reason to stay away from Zaiat!
As there is no regulation, the people running the platform can pocket your money while bearing no responsibility for their criminal actions. They can disappear any time without notice. Companies providing online investment services without a license cannot provide their clients with any sort of protection. In contrast, regulated firms are required by law to adhere to a slew of regulations that ensure the safety of clients' funds. For example, in most jurisdictions, a company will get a license if it meets the minimum capital requirement that varies by country and may also depend on the product specification, business classification and so on.
To make sure you are dealing with a regulated and known investment platform, you should be able to find easily who is the CEO of this investment firm, who is running it etc. Lack of information is a big red flag since you don't know who will be dealing with YOUR MONEY. This is the reason why they are dangerous to deal with.
On top of that, once you click and provide them with your e-mail and contact number they will ring you immediately and promise you anything to make you deposit money with them as fast as possible. Most of the scammers are experienced manipulators and before you know it they'd ask for your bank card numbers to assist you with the deposit. You shouldn't provide this information. There is also a chance to become a victim of Identity theft, experiencing many more problems consequently.
Zaiat Complaints
Depending on the amount of experience people have with investment platforms, it may be easy to tell what is legitimate and off-base before the problem starts. However, most of you may not be aware that a platform is problematic before you already signed up. If they show any of these signs, either avoid them entirely or look very carefully before proceeding:
🔴 Not regulated
🔴 High fees and commissions
🔴 Not enough information on the website
🔴 Poor communication and refusal to answer questions
🔴 Pushy manner
🔴 Keeps mentioning rules and fees that were not outlined in the contract
🔴 Does not let you withdraw money from your account
Zaiat Products and Services
Zaiat is not safe, and we say so because it's an unregulated investment platform – these schemes are never secure. They always promise things they won't deliver, and Zaiat makes no exception – they claim that customers can earn big money, which is a scam offer seen from any viewpoint! Such promises are ludicrous, and they show that Zaiat is a suspected scam you should avoid! Beware!
Zaiat Customer Support
Zaiat allows you to contact them through telephone contact and email. They do not provide any location data. There is no certainty in the contact information available.
You ought to receive an instant reply to your query, if not fast. Nevertheless, fraudsters cut off communications upon receiving your money. It is improbable to deliver a friendly interface without proper customer relations. Active customer support assists in determining more trust in the company.
Are Funds Safe With Zaiat?
With such lack of information and Zaiat being unregulated, funds are not safe. Security of funds is a huge problem with unregulated investment platforms. A red flag that we noticed is that they are withholding vital information to users. They could go bankrupt from one day to another since there are no banking information about them.
They does not guarantee the security of funds. The safety of your money is a top factor to consider in any platform. Any red flag is a warning you should not ignore. Investing your money with anonymous platforms not only puts your money at risk. Your data may fall into the wrong hands attracting criminal activities during the registration process.
Zaiat Withdrawals
The point at which many of our clients realize they are dealing with a scam is when they request to withdraw funds and the platform either won't allow them or will make it difficult. They may employ the following tactics:
🔴 Will aggressively urge clients to make additional trades. The client often acquiesces because the platform will be quite pushy and make it clear he or she is in control since they hold the client's funds
🔴 Will charge high withdrawal fees. Many clients will instead try to make more money to cover these high fees and will make more transactions instead of withdrawing
🔴 Cease communication. They may be evasive or simply not communicate at all.
If Zaiat is doing any of these things to avoid releasing your funds, contact our experts today.
Zaiat Review: our Conclusion!
Zaiat is an unregulated platform to avoid. Their method for investment is unreliable. Unregulated investment scams, in particular, are usually operated anonymously. Sooner or later, the service will inevitably close. They usually target traders and investors with little or no experience by promising fictitious investment opportunities. You'd better stay far away from unregulated entities and trade with regulated platforms only.
There is also the insolvency protections that unregulated platforms does not have access if they go bust.
Platforms who are not registered with or regulated by a regulatory organization are considered unregulated. Because they are not subject to any laws or restrictions imposed by financial regulatory organizations, they are free to trade as they see fit. Choosing an unlicensed platform comes with its own set of disadvantages.

I did not mean to brig you another grilled cheese sandwich so soon after the last one but as I was cleaning out the fridge, like I do every Friday night, I came across some of the apple chutney that I made a while ago. Since it had been busy day I had been looking for something simple for dinner anyways, a grilled cheese sandwich with apple chutney was a perfect fit. I really like the way that sweet, tangy, hot and spicy chutneys work with the melted cheese in grilled cheese sandwiches and I enjoy them fairly frequently. I also enjoy adding apple slices to grilled cheese sandwiches so adding some of the apple chutney sounded like a win win situation and it was! I think that this apple chutney grilled cheese sandwich is now my favorite chutney style grilled cheese sandwich so far. It is always fun to find things that you had forgotten about when cleaning out the fridge and this time it turned into a quick and easy meal on a busy Friday night.
Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Apple Chutney
- 2 slices bread
- 1 tablespoon butter (room temperature)
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar, gruyere, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons apple chutney
- Assemble the sandwich and grill until the bread is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

St. Bede: "He then who wishes to be rich toward God, will not lay up treasures for himself, but distribute his possessions to the poor."

Stealing from the poor
St. Bede: "He then who wishes to be rich toward God, will not lay up treasures for himself, but distribute his possessions to the poor."
29 comments:
I have several questions:
1. How much is a "little something for the future" and who defines this?
2. According to the article all persons hoarding more than what they needed (plus a little for the future) are in danger of committing a mortal sin. That would include most of the people I know who are middle class.
3. What about leaving some money to your heirs? That money has to be from over abundance and I guess leaving your heirs money will also be sinful since one should not have hoarded it to start with but should have given it away while alive.
4 How come in the OT the rich like Abraham gave 10 % and not everything over and above what is needed? Were Abraham and other rich OT personalities sinning?
This is really very confusing to me. Is there any official document from the Church stating that one cannot have more than what is needed (plus a little more for the future) in their possession? That would be very helpful to me.
BTW, I love this site.
Thanks and God Bless.

Let's not forget the teaching of Leo XIII that one can keep for himself goods both according to necessity and according to propriety (i.e. saving for the future and for heirs, etc.). No one defines how much belongs to "propriety" (or necessity, for that matter). This is a matter of the judgment of prudence in the practical intellect of the acting person. Once this judgment is made, he gives his money freely according to the virtue of liberality in the concupiscible appetite. We should recall that morality is not a matter of living according to a defined boundary of action ("how much is too much to save?") but of putting into action the virtues informed by the moral law.

@anonymous (isydel)
Thank you for your comments and questions.
I have updated the post with several magisterial texts.
To answer your questions.
1) How much is needed for each individual is determined by the individual's prudence. Would you rather had the State or the Church define it? Certainly, in cases of grave abuse, the State has a right to intervene. For the most part, however, prudence must dictate. (Thank you Iosephus for clarification on this point as well).
2) You are correct, it is a mortal sin for a man to accumulate excess riches to himself while others in his proximity are poor.
3) Leaving money to heirs would be part of the "something for the future" - and would be morally acceptable. However, to attempt to leave a vast fortune to heirs is certainly gravely sinful, when others lack basic necessities.
4) The 10% which Abraham gave is the Tithe. This was not to the poor but to Melchisedech. The tithe is given to the Church, not to the poor. It is a recognition of our sinfulness and need for salvation.
For info on the OT's approach to the poor, it would be good to consider the Jubilee year in which all debts to the poor were remitted.
Also, take a look at the Letter of St. James (NT) for a strong indication of the obligation of the rich to help the poor.
This teaching is a challenge to all (or at least most) of us. But remember the the Lord became poor for our sakes that we might be rich...how shall we truly be CHRISTians if we remain rich while others are poor? - July 29, 2010 at 8:09 AM

"Poor", "excess", and several other key terms in this article are undefined term and have different meanings for different people. Each needs a precise definition for such writings as these to be substantial contributions to the discussion of social justice in the religious sense. As for the modern secular/political/governmental sense of the term social justice, James Madison wrote (I paraphrase here) "charity is not an appropriate activity of government," and I must agree with him. The reason for the current existence of social injustice is three-fold: the lack in the past and present of sufficient charity on the part of nominal Christians, the increasing socially-acceptability of governmental dependency, and the divinely-lamented ineradicability of poverty ("The poor you will always have with you"), the latter of which never can be an excuse for a lack of Christian charity. We must not kill the goose ("capitalism") that lays the golden eggs, and we must remember we are NOT God, so we will never be able to entirely banish true poverty.

@ Anonymous (July 30 9:01pm)
I'm not sure what your discussion of the role of the government and the increase problem of dependency on government programs adds to this discussion.
What the Fathers of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas, and the Church's Magisterium are talking about IS NOT government hand-outs. We are here concerned with INDIVIDUALS giving money, food, clothing, etc. to other INDIVIDUALS.
As far as the definition of terms...I think it is abundantly clear from the article that the "poor" are those who lack "the basic material necessities of life".
As far as the "rich" and "excess wealth"...see the Magisterial quotes which refer to that which is left over "when what necessity demands has been supplied and one's standing fairly provided for", or "a person's superfluous income".
Nothing in this article has made an attack on Capitalism...why do you feel a need to defend it? Are you implicitly claiming that something in the magisterial teaching would cause problems for Capitalism?
Finally, as to your use of the (in)famous passage of Scripture "The poor you will always have with you" (which is from John 12:8, by the way), please see the interpretation offered in the Catechism (CCC 2449): In the second half of the verse, "...but you do not always have me", the Lord "does not soften the vehemence of former oracles against 'buying the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals...,' but invites us to recognize his own presence in the poor who are his brethren." - July 30, 2010 at 1:48 PM
Another relevent point is the OT practice of 'gleaning'. The laws of Moses forbade stripping your own fields of the last bits of a crop, but left those crops missed on the first pass of the harvesters to be gleaned by the poor.

isydel - July 31, 2010 at 5:44 PM
I feel it's important to include the "role of the government" in this discussion. As I was reading this essay, I experienced a growing horror at recognizing quotes and statements that I have seen used to justify the secular government's role in developing and enforcing "social justice" among its citizens.
Your earlier explanation describing the need for an individual to practice and exhibit prudence is on the mark. Secular governments, by their nature, tend to discount the ability of the average person (or even the necessity or desirability of that person) to have or use prudence. Prudence requires communion with G_D to identify what is prudent in each individual's own personal situation. As such, secular governments cannot depend on an individual's prudence to be pointed in the direction the state wishes to go; ergo the need for the state to define and direct corporate social justice that everyone MUST support. This relieves the individual of the need to develop and use prudence.
We must therefore struggle not only within ourselves to develop prudence and generosity, we must struggle against a state that desires to use our own teachings and beliefs against us to support its own morals and ethics, separate from those of God's.

"2. According to the article all persons hoarding more than what they needed (plus a little for the future) are in danger of committing a mortal sin. That would include most of the people I know who are middle class." You are correct, but that does not invalidate the point. If looked at objectively, the average middle-class American, whether they are Christian or not, is living a life 100 times more sinful than all the Egyptian Pharaohs put together. Just because our society lives a certain way does not make that way correct.
- August 3, 2010 at 6:22 PM
Muzhik, thank you for your insight. I couldn't agree more. Let's not forget the enemies of religion have infiltrated the universities teaching the youth socialist/communist views. It's my opinion Biden and Pelosi and other non practicing Catholics were shaped in the universities. I wouldn't be surprised if they have also infiltrated the Catholic Church.
Rosa - August 3, 2010 at 6:57 PM
What doctrine are you trying to support? Will you be the first in line to give everything above what you need? Everyone should have an "equal share" is pure socialism at its worst. Russia failed and so will every government and peoples fail who promotes the "everyone deserves the same" doctrine. . The first century church tried this approach (Acts 4:34-38) but it didn't last long. Giving a fish to a person instead of teaching him to fish creates a person who will not fish. Paul in Thessalonians 3:10 said "In fact, when we were with you, we instructed you that if anyone was unwilling to work, neither should that one eat." The doctrine proposed is contrary to the love that Christ gave us. We do because we want to, not because we have too. God does not demand, he offers. He does not usurp free will, even if a soul is lost. We give Him our will because we believe it is in line with the truth He teaches. We strive for the truth because of grace and not because of command. Thomas Aquinas is one of the most taken out of context tools used by others who want what you have. There are people who need help and we must help them, but there are many who are lazy and unwilling to share the burdens. I think I'll stick with Paul when dealing with the unwilling.

What if someone works say 60 hour or more work weeks building up a business and eventually is able to hire employees. In addition, this businessperson is then able to give to various charities, including a church of his/her choosing. This person has become rich, but you say he/she is stealing from the poor when they employ others and support them thru different charities? Social justice is also known as socialism, which has always failed whenever it has been tried around the world. I'm with Anonymous - St. Paul got it right.
- August 3, 2010 at 8:26 PM
Trying to live according to one's faith is a struggle against our fallen inclinations but it is necessary to struggle. The thing to keep in mind in order to grow in generosity is to remember to love our neighbors as ourselves, bring Christ to them and serve Christ in them; just like the Virgin Mary when she visited Saint Elisabeth who in her old age was with child and in need of help.

Muzhik, I think you are basically correct. Over-involvement on the part of the government will often lead to under-involvement of the people.
It is a principle of Catholic Social Doctrine that the government should not intervene in the redistribution of wealth unless the gravest of circumstances necessitate this.
@Splinda, who is with one of the random "anonymouses"...you said, "Social justice is also known as socialism"...that is a false statement. Social justice is not socialism. Socialism is contrary to the Catholic faith, it places society above the individual. "Social justice" refers to equitable dealings between individuals in a given society.
I'm glad you are with St. Paul, nearly every letter concludes with an exhortation to give to the collection for the poor in Jerusalem. - August 4, 2010 at 1:12 PM

From 2 Cor 8:
"You are well acquainted with the favor shown you by our Lord Jesus Christ: how for your sake he made himself poor though he was rich, so that you might become rich by his poverty. I am about to give you some advice on this matter of rich and poor. ... The relief of others ought not to impoverish you; there should be a certain equality. Your plenty at the present time should supply their need so that their surplus may one day supply your need, with equality as a result."
To those who have referred to 2 Thess 3:10 "Who will not work, let him not eat." I respond: Are you prepared to apply this saying to the mentally ill, to the dying, the sick, the orphan, the elderly, the addict? Will you starve the child? Will you starve the old man who relies upon Medicare? Will you starve the lunatic? How about the poor woman who, as a young girl became addicted to drugs...does she deserve to die?
You who quote St. Paul in this way (saying, "I am with St. Paul") make me feel sick.
This is no less than an ABUSE of Sacred Scripture, contrary to the SOUND DOCTRINE of the Fathers of the Church and the later Magisterium.
Stop your tongue! Read the Church Fathers and St. Thomas, read the Magisterium and especially the Compendium of Social Doctrine.
Even more, pray to God for a more generous heart. - August 4, 2010 at 1:24 PM

I wanted to share with you what the Q and A experts on EWTN have said:
We are obliged to support the local Catholic parish in accord with our means; for those who are destitute or have some particularly heavy bills that are not a result of excessively lavish living, they may even be excused from such an obligation--though even a small offering from those who have little is pleasing to God.
Fr. John Echert
....Catholics are required by a Church precept to support the work of the Church. Those who want to be generous can certainly give 10%. It is just not required by the moral or ecclesiastical law.
Colin B. Donovan, STL
According to can. 222 §1, in the Code of Canon Law, "The Christian faithful are obliged to assist with the needs of the Church so that the Church has what is necessary for divine worship, for the works of the apostolate and of charity, and for the decent support of ministers." No minimum percentage of income has been set. It is left to the conscience of individuals,

@Anonymous - isydel (Aug 22, 4:19am),
As I have already explained to you: the %10 is given in support of the Church. The Tithe IS NOT alms!
All the things you cited from EWTN are very good...but they HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ARTICLE! Everything you are talking about deals with the obligation "to assist with the needs of the Church".
What we are talking about here is the obligation which the rich have to give to the poor. All their excess luxury must be given to the poor, so long as there are poor to give to. This is pretty clear from Paul VI (cited at the end of the article).
Obviously, "excess wealth" and "extra luxury" are not clearly defined. That is up to the individual conscience of the rich person. Clearly, neither the government nor even the Church can make specific definitions.
What I am trying to do with this and other articles is to form the conscience so that we can make better decisions.
So, thank you for informing us what the experts from EWTN Q and A have said. But the comments you have posted do not refer to what our question is.
By the way: If these men are "experts", so too are the authors of this blog -- for we too have the STL degrees which they have. (I do bow however to Fr. John Echert, how is a shining lamp in our dark time) - September 16, 2010 at 9:36 AM

I would like to add two texts from Sacred Scripture in support of the thesis:
James 2:15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and filled," without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

Let me give you an easy hint: Living in a $70 million dollar house with a yacht and four cars outside does not qualify for proper use of one's money or saving for the future. It qualifies as greed and mortal sin.

Along with the latest news about the U.S. Army staff sergeant who allegedly murdered 16 Afghan civilians on March 11, we want to note this heart-breaking quote from a man who says he lost almost all his family in that massacre:
"Like anyone, I wanted my children to be doctors, engineers — important people. All my dreams are buried under a pile of dust now," farmer Muhammad Wazir tells NPR's Quil Lawrence on today's Morning Edition.
"My little boy, Habib Shah, is the only one left alive, and I love him very much," Wazir added. All told, Wazir says, he lost his mother, his wife, his four daughters, two of his sons, a brother, a nephew and a sister-in-law.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, 38, is now at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas and NPR's Tom Bowman tells us that formal charges could be brought against him in the next few days.
Once again this morning, as in other recent days, we're learning more about him:
-- "Bales defrauded an Ohio couple of more than $600,000 when he served as their stock broker in 2000, according to records of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority," according to Bloomberg News. "An arbitrator in 2003 ordered Bales to pay more than $1.3 million in damages to Gary Liebschner and his wife of Carroll, Ohio."
"There's no sign he ever paid what he owned," NPR's Martin Kaste reports for our Newscast Desk.
-- Bales' wife Karilyn, in a statement posted by The Seattle Times, said her family sends "condolences to all the people of the Panjawai District ... especially to the parents, brothers, sisters and grandparents of the children who perished. ... What has been reported is completely out of character of the man I know and admire."
-- Attorney John Henry Browne, who is representing Bales, says the soldier remembers little about the night of March 11, The Associated Press writes. But, NPR's Kaste adds, Browne also said he would not use the word "amnesia" to describe Bales' state of mind.
At 10 a.m. ET, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, Gen. John Allen, is due to testify before the House Armed Services Committee. The session is to be webcast. According to the AP, in his prepared testimony Allen gives "no hint of an accelerated timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat troops in the face of increasing political and public pressure to end the military mission."

FAT, or File Allocation Table, is a file system that is designed to keep track of allocation status of clusters on a hard drive. Developed in 1977 by Microsoft Corporation, FAT was originally intended to be a file system for the Microsoft Disk BASIC interpreter. FAT was quickly incorporated into an early version of Tim Patterson's QDOS, which was a moniker for "Quick and Dirty Operating System". Microsoft later purchased the rights to QDOS and released it under Microsoft branding as PC-DOS and later, MS-DOS.
FAT is described by Microsoft in Microsoft Extensible Firmware Initiative FAT32 File System Specification - FAT: General Overview of On-Disk Format. Despite the name, the document includes descriptions of FAT12 and FAT16.
Closely related standards are: ECMA 107 and ISO/EIC 9293, which only cover FAT12 and FAT16, and also are somewhat more restricted than the file system described by Microsoft's document.
Boot sector |
More reserved |
Root directory |
Data region |
Boot Record
When a computer is powered on, a POST (power-on self test) is performed, and control is then transferred to the Master boot record (MBR). The MBR is present no matter what file system is in use, and contains information about how the storage device is logically partitioned. When using a FAT file system, the MBR hands off control of the computer to the Boot Record, which is the first sector on the partition. The Boot Record, which occupies a reserved area on the partition, contains executable code, in addition to information such as an OEM identifier, number of FATs, media descriptor (type of storage device), and information about the operating system to be booted. Once the Boot Record code executes, control is handed off to the operating system installed on that partition.
Note that ECMA 107 does not define the boot record signature 0x55, 0xaa (or 0xaa55)
The primary task of the File Alocation Tables are to keep track of the allocation status of clusters, or logical groupings of sectors, on the disk drive. There are four different possible FAT entries: allocated (along with the address of the next cluster associated with the file), unallocated, end of file, and bad sector.
In order to provide redundancy in case of data corruption, two FATs, FAT1 and FAT2, are stored in the file system. FAT2 is a typically a duplicate of FAT1. However, FAT mirroring can be disabled on a FAT32 drive, thus enabling any of the FATs to become the Primary FAT. This possibly leaves FAT1 empty, which can be deceiving.
Root Directory
The Root Directory, sometimes referred to as the Root Folder, contains an entry for each file and directory stored in the file system. This information includes the file name, starting cluster number, and file size. This information is changed whenever a file is created or subsequently modified. Root directory has a fixed size of 512 entries on a hard disk and the size on a floppy disk depends. With FAT32 it can be stored anywhere within the partition, although in previous versions it is always located immediately following the FAT region.
Data Area
The Boot Record, FATs, and Root Directory are collectively referred to as the System Area. The remaining space on the logical drive is called the Data Area, which is where files are actually stored. It should be noted that when a file is deleted by the operating system, the data stored in the Data Area remains intact until it is overwritten.
In order for FAT to manage files with satisfactory efficiency, and also to increase maximum size of the volume, it groups sectors into larger blocks referred to as clusters. A cluster is the smallest unit of disk space that can be allocated to a file, which is why clusters are often called allocation units. Each cluster can be used by one and only one file (or directory). Only the "data area" is divided into clusters, the rest of the partition is simply sectors. Cluster size is determined by the size of the disk volume and every file must be allocated an integral number of clusters. Cluster sizing has a significant impact on performance and disk utilization. Larger cluster sizes result in more wasted space because files are less likely to fill up an even number of clusters.
The size of one cluster is specified in the Boot Record and can range from a single sector (512 bytes) to 128 sectors (65536 bytes). The sectors in a cluster are continuous, therefore each cluster is a continuous block of space on the disk. Note that only one file can be allocated to a cluster. Therefore if a 1KB file is placed within a 32KB cluster there are 31KB of wasted space. The formula for determining clusters in a partition is (# of Sectors in Partition) - (# of Sectors per Fat * 2) - (# of Reserved Sectors) ) / (# of Sectors per Cluster).
Wasted Sectors
Wasted Sectors (a.k.a. **partition slack are a result of the number of data sectors not being evenly distributed by the cluster size. It's made up of unused bytes left at the end of a file. Also, if the partition as declared in the partition table is larger than what is claimed in the Boot Record the volume can be said to have wasted sectors. Small files on a hard drive are the reason for wasted space and the bigger the hard drive the more wasted space there is.
FAT Entry Values
0x000 (Free Cluster) 0x001 (Reserved Cluster) 0x002 - 0xFEF (Used cluster; value points to next cluster) 0xFF0 - 0xFF6 (Reserved values) 0xFF7 (Bad cluster) 0xFF8 - 0xFFF (Last cluster in file)
0x0000 (Free Cluster) 0x0001 (Reserved Cluster) 0x0002 - 0xFFEF (Used cluster; value points to next cluster) 0xFFF0 - 0xFFF6 (Reserved values) 0xFFF7 (Bad cluster) 0xFFF8 - 0xFFFF (Last cluster in file)
0x?0000000 (Free Cluster) 0x?0000001 (Reserved Cluster) 0x?0000002 - 0x?FFFFFEF (Used cluster; value points to next cluster) 0x?FFFFFF0 - 0x?FFFFFF6 (Reserved values) 0x?FFFFFF7 (Bad cluster) 0x?FFFFFF8 - 0x?FFFFFFF (Last cluster in file)
Note: FAT32 uses only 28 of 32 possible bits, the upper 4 bits should be left alone. Typically these bits are zero, and are represented above by a question mark (?).
There are multiple variants of FAT in existence, the most common ones are probably: FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32.
- FAT12 is a type of FAT that uses a 12 bit file allocation table entry.
- FAT12 can hold a max of 4,084 clusters (which is 212 clusters minus a few values that are reserved for values used in the FAT).
- It is used for floppy disks and hard drive partitions that are smaller than 16 MB.
- All 1.44 MB 3.5" floppy disks are formatted using FAT12.
- Cluster size that is used is between 0.5 KB to 4 KB.
- It is called FAT16 because all entries are 16 bit.
- FAT16 can hold a max of 65,524 addressable units
- It is used for small and moderate sized hard disk volumes.
FAT32 is the enhanced version of the FAT system implemented beginning with Windows 95 OSR2, Windows 98, and Windows Me. Features include:
- Drives of up to 2 terabytes are supported (windows
- Since FAT32 uses smaller clusters (of 4 kilobytes each), it uses hard drive space more efficiently. This is a 10 to 15 percent improvement over FAT or FAT16.
- The limitations of FAT or FAT 16 on the number of root folder entries have been eliminated. In FAT32, the root folder is an ordinary cluster chain, and can be located anywhere on the drive.
- File allocation mirroring can be disabled in FAT32. This allows a different copy of the file allocation table then the default to be active.
Limitations with Windows 2000 & Windows XP
- Clusters cannot be 64KB or larger.
- Cannot decrease cluster size that will result in the the FAT being larger than 16 MB minus 64KB in size.
- Cannot contain fewer than 65,527 clusters.
- Maximum of 32KB per cluster.
- Windows XP: The Windows XP installation program will not allow a user to format a drive of more than 32GB using the FAT32 file system. Using the installation program, the only way to format a disk greater than 32GB in size is to use NTFS. A disk larger than 32GB in size can be formatted with FAT32 for use with Windows XP if the system is booted from a Windows 98 or Windows ME startup disk, and formatted using the tool that will be on the disk.
exFAT (sometimes incorrectly called FAT64)
exFAT (also know as Extended File Allocation Table or exFAT) is Microsoft's latest version of FAT and works with Windows Embedded CE 6.0, Windows XP/Server 2003 (with a KB patch, Vista/Server 2008 SP 1 & Later, and Windows 7. Features include:
- Largest file size is 264 bytes (16 exabytes) vs. FAT32's maximum file size of 4GB.
- Has transaction support using Transaction-Safe Extended FAT File System (TexFAT). (Not released yet in Desktop/Server OS)
- Speeds up storage allocation processes by using free space bitmaps.
- Support UTC timestamps (Vista/Server 2008 SP1 does not support UTC, UTC support came out with SP2)
- Maximum Cluster size of 32MB (Fat32 is 32KB)
- Sector sizes from 512 bytes to 4096 bytes in size
- Maximum FAT supportable volume size of 128PB
- Maximum Subdirectory size of 256MB which can support up to over 2 million files in a single subdirectory
- Uses a Bitmap for cluster allocation
- Supports File Permissions (Not released yet in Desktop/Server OS)
- Has been selected as the exclusive file system of the SDXC memory card by the SD Association
Although Microsoft has published some information on exFAT, there are more technical specifications available from third parties. For example, here is a detailed presentation on exFAT.
Another published technical paper that goes in the internals in great detail is in the SANS Reading Room at: Reverse Engineering the Microsoft exFAT File System
Comparison of FAT Versions
See the table at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_Table for more detailed information about the various versions of FAT.
Due to its low cost, mobility, and non-volatile nature, flash memory has quickly become the choice medium for storing and transferring data in consumer electronic devices. The majority of flash memory storage is formatted using the FAT file system. In addition, FAT is also frequently used in electronic devices with miniature hard drives.
Examples of devices in which FAT is utilized include:
- USB thumb drives
- Digital cameras
- Digital camcorders
- Portable audio and video players
- Multifunction printers
- Electronic photo frames
- Electronic musical instruments
- Standard televisions
- PDAs
Data Recovery
Recovering directory entries from FAT filesystems as part of recovering deleted data can be accomplished by looking for entries that begin with a sigma 0xe5. When a file or directory is deleted under a FAT filesystem, the first character of its name is changed to sigma. The remainder of the directory entry information remains intact.
The pointers are also changed to zero for each cluster used by the file. Recovery tools look at the FAT to find the entry for the file. The location of the starting cluster will still be in the directory file. It is not deleted or modified. The tool will go straight to that cluster and try to recover the file using the file size to determine the number of clusters to recover. Some tools will go to the starting cluster and recover the next "X" number of clusters needed for the specific file size. However, this tool is not ideal. An ideal tool will locate "X" number of available clusters. Since files are most often fragmented, this will be a more precise way to recover the file.
An issue arises when two files in the same row of clusters are deleted. If the clusters are not in sequential order, the tool will automatically receive "X" number of clusters. However, because the file was fragmented, it's most likely that all the clusters obtained will not all contain data for that file. If these two deleted files are in the same row of clusters, it is highly unlikely the file can be recovered.
File Slack
File slack is data that starts from the end of the file written and continues to the end of the sectors designated to the file. There are two types of file slack, RAM slack and Residual slack. RAM slack starts from the end of the file and goes to the end of that sector. Residual slack then starts at the next sector and goes to the end of the cluster allocated for the file. File slack is a helpful tool when analyzing a hard drive because the old data that is not overwritten by the new file is still in tact. Go to https://www.pcguide.com/hdd/ for examples.
The diagram above demonstrates the larger the cluster size used, the more disk space is wasted due to slack. This suggests it is better to use smaller cluster sizes whenever possible.
FAT Advantages
- Files available to multiple operating systems on the same computer
- Easier to switch from FAT to NTFS than vice versa
- Performs faster on smaller volumes (\< 10GB)
- Does not index files, which causes slightly higher performance
- Performs better with small cache sizes (\< 96MB)
- More space-efficient on small volumes (\< 4GB)
- Performs better with slow disks (\< 5400RPM)
FAT Disadvantages
- FAT has a fixed maximum number of clusters per partition, which means as the hard disk gets bigger the size of each cluster must increase, creating more slack space
- Doesn't natively support many abilities of NTFS such as on-the-fly compression, encryption, or advanced security using access control lists
- NTFS recommended by Microsoft for volumes larger than 32GB
- FAT slows down as the number of files on the disk increases
- FAT usually fragments files more
- FAT does not allow for indexing of files for faster searching
- FAT does not support user quotas
- FAT has minimal security features including no access control list (ACL) capability.

At Century Eye Care, we help children like yours achieve clear and comfortable vision, so they can succeed at the important things in life.
Methods of Myopia Correction
Contact Lenses
Contacts can be a great choice, especially for physically active children or teens who don't want to worry about breaking or misplacing their eyeglasses. In some cases of very high myopia, contact lenses can offer clearer vision than glasses.
Corrective contact lenses are usually placed in the eyes upon waking and removed at night before bedtime. There are several types, including: soft contacts, daily disposables, extended wear, and rigid gas permeable (hard) lenses. Navigating through the differences between them can be daunting. Fortunately, if you're located in Tacoma our eye doctor will be happy to guide you. Speak with to determine whether your child is ready for contact lenses.
Prescription Glasses
Glasses are a popular choice among our younger patients. Choosing from an array of styles makes the process fun and exciting! Allowing the children to be active participants in selecting their eyewear increases the likelihood that they'll actually wear them. There are strong, flexible and resilient frames which look great and are comfortable too.
The optician can customize the lenses with additions and upgrades like impact-resistant or shatter-proof materials, scratch-resistant and anti-reflective coatings, UV filters, and transition lenses that darken in the sun. For those requiring vision correction for distance and near, we also offer bifocal or multifocal lens prescriptions.
Century Eye Care Eye Clinic and Myopia, Nearsightedness and Children in Tacoma, Washington

This is the place that the Lord said is favored above all other nations in all the world. This is the place where the Savior will come to His temple. This is the favored land in all the world. Yes, I repeat, men may fail, but this nation won't fail. I have faith in America; you and I must have faith in America, if we understand the teachings of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are living in a day when we must pay heed to these challenges.
I plead with you not to preach pessimism. Preach that this is the greatest country in all the world. This is the favored land. This is the land of our forefathers. It is the nation that will stand despite whatever trials or crises it may yet have to pass through.

A fully qualified counselor will tell you about Your best options.
You Decide If The Program Works for You.
Absolutely FREE. No Obligation, but if you like Your new reduced payments, you can discuss enrolling in the Program.
Debt Consolidation Saint Albans, faced with bill collectors, harassing phone calls, or collection letters? Perhaps you should seek debt consolidation programs that include debt management or credit counseling.
Indeed, many families in Saint Albans and even across the country have sought out such programs. These can be great options, even better than risking high interest loans or payday advance services. Those can be tremendously bad ideas. Let's see why.
Consolidation loans, at the first, may seem like a good solution. Unfortunately, they are not. In fact, they are just the opposite. Loans tend to amplify your problems. Debt is often the result of extravagant spending habits.
Too many Americans spend more than they earn, which can lead to borrowing money to subsidize an unaffordable Great American lifestyle. These debt consolidation loans to pay down your other Saint Albans debts may have high interest rates, hidden fees, balloon payments and other traps that just provide a quick fix but create worse problems down the road.
Likewise, debt settlement companies should be well researched before joining. For-profit debt settlement companies purport to help by paying your debts to your creditors with an account into which you make regular payments. The debtor generally stops making credit card debt payments upon the advice of the company. Once it reaches a certain amount, the debt settlement company seeks to negotiate payment with the creditor. The company makes money from this settlement as a flat fee or a percentage. There exist several problems with this. Your credit score could be severely damaged because the debtor has stopped paying on ALL debts and allowing negative payment history to accrue. Also, the debtor may not have a say in the negotiation process and the company may be paying too little too slowly which is essentially making more money for them and for the creditor (if interest is also accruing). Even if your debts eventually have been settled, the debtor's credit history might be in tatters. This is literally going from a bad situation to a worst one.
What thousands of Americans have come to realize is that to get from out under of the heavey burden of debt, Saint Albans consumers need savings and a plan. Credit card consolidation, credit counseling, or debt management are better ideas in order to have any hope of financial freedom.
Fill out the form above and a certified credit card debt counselor can help you to find the right program to suit your financial situation in Saint Albans, VT. Whether you decide to meet in person or by telephone, in a professional and confidential setting, the counselors review your credit situation, seek out various options, and work to help you in a process that you control.

Guaranteed Fit and Quality: OEM used auto parts are the same parts that were originally installed in your vehicle by the manufacturer. This means that they are designed and engineered specifically for your make and model, ensuring a perfect fit and seamless integration with your vehicle's systems. Aftermarket parts, on the other hand, may not always meet the same stringent quality standards and fit specifications, potentially leading to compatibility issues or premature wear and tear.
Reliability and Durability: OEM used auto parts have already proven their reliability and durability in real-world driving conditions. These parts have been rigorously tested and have met the manufacturer's strict quality control measures. Aftermarket parts, while potentially less expensive, may not offer the same level of reliability and may need to be replaced more frequently, ultimately costing you more in the long run.
Maintaining Factory Specifications: By using OEM used auto parts, you can ensure that your vehicle's performance, safety, and emissions standards remain in line with the manufacturer's specifications. Aftermarket parts may not adhere to these specifications, potentially causing your vehicle to operate outside of its intended parameters, which could lead to decreased performance, safety concerns, or even legal issues.
Preserve Resale Value: If you plan on selling your vehicle in the future, using OEM used auto parts can help preserve its resale value. Potential buyers will be more confident in the vehicle's condition and maintenance history when they see that genuine OEM parts were used for repairs and replacements.
Wdarranty and Support: Many OEM used auto parts come with warranties or support from the manufacturer or authorized dealerships. This added protection can give you peace of mind and potentially save you money if any issues arise. Aftermarket parts may not offer the same level of warranty or support, leaving you with limited options if problems occur.

Believe it or not, most older adults want to improve their health. We get plenty of sleep, park our cars in a spot furthest away from the supermarket's main entrance, we follow a regimented medication schedule, and watch what we eat — except when it comes to dietary fiber. Studies show that Americans eat less than 3 percent of the recommended amounts of dietary fiber each day. But in a culture where whole-grain bread, raw foods, and organic products are mainstream, why are Americans still short on dietary fiber?
Some experts blame our sweet tooth and other unhealthy cravings. "The problem is that many people eat a ton of highly processed foods, which have been stripped of most of their fiber," says Kasandra Brabaw. Americans are more inclined to reach for a slice of white bread rather than whole-grain brands, and we choose to eat a fruit bar instead of eating a piece of whole fruit. These habits are taking a toll on our health.
Lifestyle changes can still have a dramatic effect on improved health, regardless of age. And, if you starting a new fitness routine, invite your friends and family to join you. "We've noticed our rehab and therapy patients progress faster when they have a supportive team cheering them on," said Trent Gunnell, SLP., DOR at Parke View Rehabilitation & Care Center.
Fiber improves digestive functions, lowers cholesterol, maintains blood glucose levels, improves heart health, and helps control weight. Although thoughts of adding fiber involve grainy spoonfuls of something resembling bird seed, there are many flavorful options that achieve the same result. Here are four delicious, fiber-rich foods to increase your fiber intake.
1. Cold Cereal
Let's face it. Bran cereals leave a lot to be desired in the flavor department. But, you can still obtain the health benefits by simply combining bran cereal with your favorite cold cereal like Cheerios, Corn Chex, or Rice Krispies. You still get the fiber, but you also enjoy the flavor.
2. Soup
Name your favorite soup and it likely includes a high-fiber food. Lentils, peas, corn, black beans, and broccoli, are all great sources of dietary fiber. The Department of Agriculture says Americans need at least 14 grams of dietary fiber each day for every 1000 calories consumed.
3. Fruits
It's true that an apple a day may keep the doctor at bay. "Apples are the perfect snack food when you need a healthy pick-me-up while on the go," said Jim Morrison, executive director for Redmond Care and Rehabilitation Center. Also reach for avocados, berries, bananas, and citrus fruits.
Related link: Can an apple a day keep the doctor at bay?
4. Hummus
Made with chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic, and lemon juice, hummus could very well be the perfect dip. Experts estimate that 25 percent of American homes stock it in their refrigerator.
If you are looking for an effective way to feel better, look better, and perform better in your daily fitness routine, adding fiber to your diet is an easy (and delicious) start to good health.

Thai-Style Catfish - Plah Toht Kamin
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...I'm told that plah toht kamin is a native Thai dish. I can't speak to the veracity of that because each time I've had the dish it was made by a French chef who was plying his trade in Southeast Asia. Thailand, Cambodia, Laos and, to a lesser degree, Vietnam seem to be magnets for French chefs. I suspect there are more of them in Southeast Asia than there are in France. The fusion of wonderful native cuisine with French technique and talent makes for some fascinating meals, and what native and French chefs are able to do with fish is really amazing. While most of the food we had in Asia was wonderful, our best meals in China were vegetarian and our best meals in Southeast Asia were fish or shellfish. I stopped by the fish market today to see what was available and found some gorgeous looking catfish fillets at bargain prices. I was determined to sidestep my usual blackened preparation and come up with something that, for us, would be new. I remembered the turmeric fried catfish we had in Thailand and Laos and set out to reproduce it. We had a lovely meal this evening. Fish prepared in this manner is really easy to make and can be on the table in about 30 minutes. The only remotely exotic ingredients are turmeric and fish sauce and they can be found in most large supermarkets. Bob really enjoyed this, so it will make an encore performance at the table in the next few weeks. I served the fillets with a Thai cucumber relish and sticky rice. I hope you'll try this. It is remarkably good. Here's the recipe.
Thai-Style Catfish - Plah Toht Kamin...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
2 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 tablespoon chopped shallot or scallion
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons fish sauce
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided use
1-1/4 pounds catfish fillets
Flour for dredging fish
Optional: Thai chili-lime sauce dipping sauce
1) Place garlic, shallots, turmeric, sugar, pepper, salt, fish sauce and 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the bowl of a small food processor. Process to a fairly smooth paste, using a small amount of water if necessary to bring ingredients together. Combine fish fillets and turmeric paste in medium bowl or baking dish, turning fillets to coat evenly with marinade. Let sit for 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature. The fillets can be marinated for up to 24 hours if covered and refrigerated.
2) Place about 1 cup of flour in a pie plate or cake pan. Dredge fillets in flour, shaking off excess. Heat reserved 2 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan set over medium-high heat. When a drop of water sizzles in pan, add fillets and cook, turning once, for 5 to 7 minutes depending on thickness of fillets. Be careful when turning. Transfer to a serving plate and serve with a Thai dipping sauce if desired. Yield: 4 servings.
Chili-Lime Sauce:
1/4 cup fish sauce
3 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh hot green chilies
1 teaspoon finely chopped cilantro
Combine fish sauce, lime juice, sugar and garlic in a small bowl, stirring until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle with chilies and cilantro. Set aside. Best served at room temperature.

I love any kind of fish recipe and this sounds wonderful! Great job on the recreation - you are so talented!!
BTW, I have been lurking at that blog you told us about - A Tea Party for My Mother. Don't quite know how to just introduce myself yet - seems sort of awkward. Her experience is so reminiscent of the time of my own mother's last days - she will be happy that she documented these days. Thanks for passing that on. Hugs. - February 23, 2010 at 2:39 AM

Mary, down here in Georgia, catfish is a staple on many a menu. But I have never seen it prepared with your creativity. This looks absolutely delicious. I can't wait to try and duplicate your incredible dish. Many thanks...

I'm an odd one. I'll cook lake fish but I won't eat it. I WILL eat anything out of the ocean though!

My husband would adore this - always looking for more fish - and we get a lot of fresh lake fish- although right now - you need to dig a hole in the ice to catch them! Love the fusion of French and Asian - scrumptious.

- Shellbelle said...
Mary, fish is my favorite meal and catfish is my favorite fish. Being a Southerner, I usually pan-fry it and serve with grits and butter beans. As a treat I will fry it once in while for breakfast with grits, eggs and hot sauce.
I need to step out of the box sometimes and since I LOVE Thai food and since I have all of these ingredients, I know I will be making this dish! - February 23, 2010 at 10:25 AM

If I have to ever choose my last meal, it will be Thai! Spicy, salty, sweet--lovely! We have Arun's (in Chicago) where, for $85, one can have a scrumptious 12-course Thai meal. We have Five Star Thai (right in the suburbs) where, for around $8, one can get any number of scrumptious dishes, plus a visit with the owners and other frequent customer/friends. I have a whole collection of Thai cookbooks just in case Five Star decides to "retire". So far, I haven't used them but I'm going to give your catfish recipe a try. It looks delicious. Thanks!

Catfish is a family favorite. I've never cooked much Thai food before but this looks like an amazing way to serve catfish. And not too involved either. Sometimes Thai cooking takes a million ingredients and most of them are not readily available.
Looks wonderful, Mary! - February 23, 2010 at 12:12 PM

In LA our local Thai restaurants do a fried fish fillet dish they serve with a sweet-sour salad made of green apples - quite similar to this, and delicious.
It's so hard to fry things properly - I'm kind of afraid to do it.
Have you tried some of these new fryers that use very little oil? I've been reading about them. - February 23, 2010 at 10:38 PM

Oooh Mary I have some serious catching up to do here all starting with this fabulous-looking catfish. I rarely cook fish - it just scares me! This looks so delicious and the list of ingredients seems rather simple! And yum chili-lime sauce! Exquisite!

Christopher Kane
I gave Kane a way hard time last resort season for not taking an idea as interesting as pictures of bomb testings in 1950's America to a more conceptual level, but I have fully converted to his ways with photos (resort collections aren't supposed to be conceptual anyways. Lighten up, June 2010-era self!) Nebula prints have been done before, but the shapes add a lot. I like the weird punk-fairy vibes at the top-right, and the space-hippie vibes second from the left on the bottom, and the safari-astronomer vibes to the right of the space-hippie vibes. Vibes, man. Vibes.
Also the fluffy shoes. I would sit in a giant swivelly chair and pet them, if I owned them. Plus they help to differentiate the idea of nebula prints from something futuristic or natural; they're wonderfully tacky and feel sorta Clueless (Dionne, maybe Ambular, not Cher.)
Alexander McQueen
A resort collection that is designed to sell isn't the one to use to evaluate Sarah Burton's new job as creative director at McQueen, but it still excites me for the direction in which she's taking the label. I won't be disappointed if the coat in the bottom left is any kind of indication; the shape is one McQueen never really touched, but the symmetrical embroidery calls to mind a number of prints from his previous collections.
