Salmond: Scotland independent in 10 years
ALEX Salmond has, for the first time, named a date by which he believes Scotland will be an independent country - 2017. The First Minister made the dramatic assertion on the eve of the SNP's first budget in government, a day in which the party will set out its spending priorities over the next three years. In a remarkable departure from his previous reluctance to set a timetable for achieving sovereignty, Mr Salmond yesterday said he anticipated Scotland would break away from the United Kingdom in a decade. The First Minister made the declaration, which was immediately attacked by political opponents, as he launched the Scottish Government's economic strategy, setting out ambitious targets for a decade of growth. .
Holley to Vote on School Project
Last week, voters in Holley went to the polls to decide the fate of their police department. Monday, they will head to the polls to decide on a proposed school improvement project. The vote will be for two propositions. The first is to permit the district to improve its facilities and take advantage of available state funding for $4.1 million. That money would be used for renovations at the high school and middle school. The second proposition is to allow the district to establish a $2 million capital reserve fund to be used on future projects. Those projects would have to be approved by voters. ajl dp Holley Central School District

On the opposite side of the spectrum was Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas. "This bill could pass in a day if they stripped the taxes out and the renewable portfolio standard" for electricity production." Tougher fuel economy standards are likely to come down eventually no matter how long politicians and car companies tried to avoid the possibility. It's likely in the best interest of auto manufacturers to buckle down and plan ahead instead of hoping that the "worst thing possible" -- i.e. tougher fuel economy standards -- will never happen. .
Casual attitudes about student loans leave thousands of graduates in ...
Syndicated radio talk show host Dave Ramsey is more blunt. "Student loans are a cancer," the Nashville personal finance adviser said. "Once you have them, you can't get rid of them. They are like an unwelcome relative who comes to stay for a few days and is still in the guest room 10 years later."
REASONS FOR TREND Since the early '90s, several factors have forced U.S. families to change the way they pay for higher education, Mr. Shireman said.

At private four-year institutions tuition increased by 6.3 percent to an average of $23,712, according to Trends in College Pricing 2007, a report published last month by the College Board.
