I KNOW THAT SPRING IS FINALLY UPON US because my wife has started organizing her vegetable gar, den. The garden, like the start of baseball season and the sound of lawn mowers instead of snow blowers, is a sure sign of longer days and warmer evenings.
Colleges and universities--and students--are paying the price, and there doesn't seem to be a way out.The University of Arizona, for example, wants to counteract state funding cuts by raising tuition and fees by $1,790 next year, a 22 percent hike. The budget proposed by Arizona Governor Jan Brewer would also cut the state's funding to Maricopa County community colleges by $38.4 million, or 85 percent.And in Tennessee, officials at The University of the South, said they would cut its $46,000 sticker price by 10 percent next year, to end what it called the "tuition game." True, these are Band-Aids on gaping wounds. But until the economy improves, these measures and others like them may be the best we can expect.www.deere.comThe D120 and H120 loaders arc two new loaders designed to optimize the performance of the 1 Series Sub-Compact Tractors from John Deere.
