Newly opened facility a 'game-changer' for Saint John ball hockey community
A much-anticipated ball hockey facility has opened in east Saint John, years after it was proposed to council as a space for players to enjoy year-round. It's a first of its kind for Atlantic Canada, as the province see's more youth take up the sport every year.

I realized I hadn't updated in several years my post https://mathematikoi.net/p0/index.html on the textbook pain multiplier. Still haven't, but at least I've made the new graphs, the basic one I attach here. It shows the crazy cost increases of textbooks in the US from 1980 to 2025 hit a bit of a wobble 2017-2024 due to #OER, I assume, but then jumped way up again recently.

Note some recent BLS data is missing, I guess from US federal govt chaos.
