SALT LAKE CITY — The Cottonwood High School football coach accused of having inappropriate physical contact with a female student will not face criminal charges after prosecutors confirmed the student is 18 years old, district officials said.

"Because the alleged victim was 18 years of age, it appears it's not feasible to pursue criminal charges," said Ben Horsley, Granite School District spokesman. "However, because she is still a student, we continue to have...

I didn't know this until today. How to get the mainstream media to be even slightly accountable about serious questions a candidate (let alone the sitting President) should answer? Why not start slow and focused? One important question, asked by all of us, to one mainstream news personality. I picked as the first question "Did Obama enter college as a foreign student?". I picked as the recipient...

Posted by admin / Under Student Loans In The United States
Runaway spending is causing our doom, so why not spend a bit more. This time to pander to the youth in our country: Obama told the students that since they were born, tuition and fees at colleges have doubled. “And that forces students like you to take on a lot more loans, there are fewer grants, you rack up a lot more debt,” Obama stated. “Can I get an Amen for that?” he asked the crowd who cheered, “AMEN!” “Now, the average student who borrows to pay for college, now graduates with with about $25,000 in debt, that’s the average,...

Pelosi joins Democrats' push for Republicans to act on student loan ratesBy Mike Lillis - 04/21/12 11:11 AM ET The leading House Democrat on Saturday joined President Obama in calling on Republicans to extend low interest rates on student loans. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi warned that allowing rates to jump, as they're scheduled to do this summer, would put college "further out of reach" for middle class families struggling in the still-limping economy. "[I]f Republicans don't act, interest rates are set to double this July, and more than seven million borrowers will find themselves paying more," Pelosi said Saturday...
