"We felt like doing a new high school. It's been over 40 years since we've had a school (built)." - Harlan Superintendent Tim Saylor Cost of Harlan school doubles Materials blamed for $27 million jump FRANKFORT, Ky. -- State Board of Education members yesterday expressed shock and concern that the price tag of a high school under construction in Harlan County has more than doubled since the original cost estimate.The 220,000-square-foot high school, which is expected to open at the beginning of the next school year, is now expected to cost $50 million, up from the original $23 million estimate."Where I work you can't run a business this way and stay in business, much less employed," said board member Joe Brothers at a board subcommittee meeting yesterday. "The surprise and shock factor of this is really frustrating."The Harlan County school board estimates it needs about $8 million to $9 million to complete the project, but state school board officials warned not to come looking for
LOUISVILLE - The state's public universities and colleges reached a record recently, handing out more than 43,900 degrees and credentials during the last academic year, officials said.The 43,902 degrees and credentials issued during the 2006-07 school year marked a 3.3 percent increase from the previous year, state officials said Friday. It also continues a trend that started in 1997, when Kentucky lawmakers passed legislation aimed at boosting higher education for citizens."This is excellent news," said Charles McGrew, director of information and research for the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education. "It just continues to go up every year."The Kentucky Community and Technical College System accounted for more than half of the awards last year that were either diplomas, certificates and associate's degrees. Meanwhile, state schools awarded more than 14,700 bachelor's degrees.David Adkisson, president and chief executive of the Kentucky Chamber of Commerce, said the numbers we
During these present times the unmistakable Chinese influence in the world economy is seemly inevitable hereat they’ve taken apart the highly industrialized nations in the world such as the United States, UK, Germany and Japan in terms of the advancement in science and technology.

Traditionally, there has only been one way to earn interest on your savings (as opposed to investing in the stock market or some other type of variable financial contract): find the highest fixed interest rate you can find, put your money into that account, and hope for the best. It could be a savings account, a bank CD, or a fixed annuity or life insurance. But, this also meant that if you were to buy into any of these you had to accept that fixed rate and no more. If the stock market started doing well, you would have to draw some (or all) of your money out of one of these accounts and place it into a higher risk account.
Today, no such need exists. Innovation by life insurance companies has brought about a concept called “equity indexing”. This relatively unknown and underutilized concept makes it very easy to reap the upside of the stock market without any of the downside risks - all without investing in the stock market. If the stock market gains 10%, so can you. If th
The KSE-100 index experienced another choppy ride in a fairly similar range as yesterday. A high of 13,313 and a low of 13,149 closing up at 13,274 yet another record close. The future of the KSE-100 index will ride on the Budget for 2007-8 which will be announced 2moro and is expected to be more on the positive side. Currently the previous high of 13,332 is the current resistance for upward movement in the market followed by 13,375 to 13,500. On the downside there is support at 13,145 and 13,000.
