    Interesting article. Another issue this causes which wasn't discussed in the article is how this will affect ranchers in SD. It's too late for them to cut back on breeding, and this could give some ranchers difficulties in selling their cattle. With how high the price of feed has gone this year, this could mean that SD cattle ranchers may see a serious drop in profit this year.

    If things like this would happen in the U.S. maby people would buy less gas and save some money. the biggest problem with this, other than the prices are so high, is that when that one thing goes up so much all of the prices of everything will go up...

    This I think will revolutionize the textbook industry. Textbooks for high schools run close to $100, Apple able to sell digital copies for $15 is simple amazing. Schools might now adapt iPads and save money in the long run on text books. Also iBook Authors could change the book industry the way that iTunes changed the music industry. We will have to give all of these new services a year and then we will see if Apple can dominate another major industry.

    I agree with this. If the prices for college keep raising then nobody can afford to go to college. All the higher paying jobs require more schooling, but if you don't have a good job then you can't pay for college. It's a deadly cycle. I also think the government is always looking for more money and raising interest rates. That fact doesn't bother me as much as the fact that the money is being spent on public art, landscapes, and totally unnecessary costs. I think that if the money was given back to 'tuition-payers' then maybe people wouldn't care so much.
  • jsteenbock23 on 26 Nov 13
     
    I think paying such high prices for college is outrageous. Many people come out of college thousands of dollars in debt and have no way of paying back that kind of money. We need people going to college to keep the United States a successful country, with well educated people.
  • Pedro Valdez on 02 Dec 13
     
    College is getting more and more expensive by the years and sooner or later not many people are going to be able to go to college because of hwo much it cost, but if they do, they would probably be thousands of dollars in debt.

The official said that the scale of the strikes against AQAP is "massive and unprecedented" and that at least 30 militants have been killed.

    It's surprising how we've been pulled back with involvements with cases like these. And also the fact that it was an organization/group/etc. we went after before adds on to the surprise of our current involvement. Back in early 2000's we were fighting wars, now we're just planning defense without using our troops.

    About 10 days ago, Lusa Khanneh took ill, but not in an Ebola kind of way. Her son, Saymon Kamara, says his mother was having violent convulsions. Those aren't a typical symptom of Ebola, but they're a very really complication of high blood pressure, which Kanneh had suffered for years.

    The Kentucky senator's latest filibuster-style stand against government surveillance positions him as the bane of Big Brother and puts him at the center of a high-profile national security debate as support for the post-9/11 security state seems to be fraying. Paul's maneuvering is not without risks.

Students and their parents there will talk to grief counselors. They and police investigators are asking why their much loved math teacher was killed.

    Re: Spencer. I'm not sure having teachers carrying guns would make students FEEL safer, nor am I convinced that having teachers with guns would actually reduce school violence. I do believe that having a on site police officer or dedicated security person is a good idea.

    In high school I'm not sure how important it is for students to have their own laptops. English and history and the 2 mandatory classes that computers work well in. Science and math don't always work well, electives can use them, but not all of them. We really don't know how well this will work until next year. College on the other hand for seniors this year will require laptops, and chromebooks I don't think will work well for college. IM just going to stick with my Mac, does everything this machine does and more.

    I say go for it, it's about time the minimum gets raised while employees actually work hard
  • amcclain946 on 12 Dec 14
     
    YES! I think raising the minimum wage is a GREAT idea. Once some states do it, more tend to follow. I think raising the minimum wage will really benefit part time workers because many work part-time hours but only make enough to pay bills. This raise may allow many to not live paycheck-to-paycheck.
  • djones036 on 12 Dec 14
     
    I think the minimum wage should be raised because the minimum wage we have now doesn't get you as far as it used to and people need more money to meet standards of living.
  • Erin Wolff on 15 Dec 14
     
    I think this is a wonderful idea. Raising the minimum wage will allow people that work part-time hours that have bills and needs that need to be met, will have money to support themselves and have a little extra support money instead of them wondering if their next paycheck is gonna cover everything.
  • fwyldes753 on 15 Dec 14
     
    I don't know if raising the minimum wage would be to good of an idea. Although yes most high schoolers and some adult would really enjoy it. But because that raises the businesses have to pay more, which means they will raise there prices, and we will be back in this situation of people wanting it raised. And we can't just raise it every year.
  • austenclaar on 15 Dec 14
     
    Raising the minimum wage to 9 or 10$ would be great if everything stayed the same. But according to our government that's not possible. Prices would go up and places would stop hiring. Even making 10$ an hour most likely still isn't enough for someone to live off of. Either way it's almost impossible for things to change for the better.
  • Mia Wheeler on 15 Dec 14
     
    I agree that the minimum wage should be higher because it allows us to pay for things by ourselves and a lot of part-time workers are college students and they have a lot of bills that they have to pay for school so I think that would help them out a lot.
  • kquinlan591 on 15 Dec 14
     
    I don't think minimum wage should be raised because that would only make the prices of everything go up to. Including the price of living. I think that if people want to make more money they should work hard for it and get a better education.
  • bllandon on 15 Dec 14
     
    I don't agree with raising the minimum wage at all. Once minimum wage gets raised nationally, prices will go up and workers will be layed off. The people who would still be at the store would have to have more hours as well since they wouldn't have as many people there often.
  • bdiaz971 on 15 Dec 14
     
    Minimum wage should be raised, but with the increase of money gained prices will also go up. If people start making a lot more money then businesses will respond by raising prices to make more profit. People should be able to live off minimum wage but that is not the case right now, they earn way too little.
  • mhart079 on 15 Dec 14
     
    They should not raise minimum wage for the fact that everything else will also go up. If I can go work at a restaurant and make good money, why would I go get a college degree?
