Gaining admission to a college might stress students. But for parents, the biggest worry is paying for it. And their fears have never been more legitimate. Over the last decade average tuition and fees at public and private universities ballooned by 38 percent, while median family income grew by only 8 percent, according to the College Board. As the economy wavers and states slash budgets, tuition is soaring at public universities, which educate 80 percent of American students and were once thought of as thrifty alternatives to pricey private schools....

There's not a single coach who has done more for a team's championship hopes than the man who, when we last saw him in college football, was being run out of town at -- of all places -- Indiana. So when LSU coach Les Miles hired Cameron as his offensive coordinator in February, the natural reaction was this: the Tigers just hired a guy who was fired as offensive coordinator of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14 of the NFL season -- and the Ravens went on to win the Super Bowl because the offense and quarterback Joe Flacco got hot after Cameron left....

Indonesia: How Wahid Won Just after officials at last October’s people’s consultative Assembly in Jakarta started counting the votes, Megawati Sukarnoputri, as expected, raced into the lead. She was soon overtaken, however, by Abdurrahman Wahid, the respected, nearly blind Islamic scholar. His supporters stood and shouted, “Allahu akbar” (God is great). But Wahid didn’t seem to be caught up in the euphoria. I watched him sit impassively in his seat, his head slightly askew, staring blankly into space....

Despite her circumstances, the 660-pound bovine took the arrival of the New South Wales State Emergency Service (SES) in stride, Geoff Kiehne, the commander of the agency’s Gilgandra unit, told 9 News, describing her as “quite happy and very content.” “It was a very unusual event,” he said. “I’ve never had a cow in a pool before.” In a pair of photos posted to the SES’s Facebook page, the cow, a “healthy” brown female, can be seen standing neck-deep in the shallow end....

Avery Fuller and his siblings always had the ambition to match the feat of their father who had caught a tiger shark weighing more than 1,000 pounds during a tournament 30 years ago. “It’s been in our family for as long as I can remember,” Fuller, who hails from Texas City, told KHOU 11, “we’ve always been trying to beat him or match him.” Fishing off the coast of Galveston for a tournament, they got their chance....
