...Caliente. Hot. In any tongue, stock in Rosetta Stone, the popular language-learning software company that just went public - yes, IPOs still exist - is blazing.

That has been the unofficial policy for decades, but recent cost increases have opened the subject for debate. "Last winter we were really busy and the county started getting to that level where they talked about recouping the costs," Meyer says...
...funding may also kick in. Sweet Briar's Carpenter recalls one student whose family income was $250,000 when she applied and had dropped to $50,000 by the time she was admitted this spring. She is now eligible for federal Pell grants, which were increased to $4,860 per student this year under the economic stimulus package passed in February...
