College Loans Cut 2007-06-25 12:24:00 WASHINGTON, DC -- U.S. Congressman George Miller (D-CA) and U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL) today introduced the Reverse the Raid on Student Aid Act of 2006 to cut interest rates in half on college loans for student borrowers with the most financial need and for parent borrowers."The high cost of tuition should never prevent a qualified student from getting a college education, but Republican leaders in Congress apparently don't see it that way," said Miller, the senior Democrat on the Committee on Education and the Workforce. "Democrats want to take America in a new direction, and that includes reversing the Republican raid on student aid and making college more affordable for all students and families."Earlier this year, the Republican-led Congress cut $12 billion out of the federal student aid programs in order to help finance tax breaks for the wealthiest Americans. Miller and Durbin said today that this Republican Raid on Student Aid made college less affordable at a time when mi Read more:College

Wimbledon 2007 2007-06-25 10:44:00 Wimbledon 2007: Women's Top 10 Preview[1] Justine Henin BEL. The 6-time Grand Slam champion (Roland Garros 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007; Australian Open 2004; U.S. Open 2003) is trying to win her first Grand Slam title in London despite making the final twice (losing to Venus Williams in 2001 and Mauresmo last year). My prediction at Roland Garros was that whomever won the Henin-S. Williams quarterfinal would most likely win the tournament, and I believe the same thing applies on the grass courts of Wimbledon. So does Jon Wertheim, calling the Henin-Williams Wimbledon quarterfinal the "de facto final." Serena didn't show up for that Paris showdown, however it is very unlikely these two steely competitors will have two "dud" matches in a row. This time the American will prevail.

The area in which MODIS detected actively burning fire is outlined in red. A plume of brownish-gray smoke spreads northeast. According to the June 25 report from the National Interagency Fire Center, the Angora Fire was burning in timber and grass, was about 1,800 acres, and was zero percent contained.

Post-Draft Thoughts on the Trail Blazers 2007-06-29 02:29:00 Now that the 2007 NBA Draft
has finished, it's time to take stock of the draft. Portland couldn't really have a bad draft with the first pick and being able to pick up a talent like Greg Oden. Who looks like he will be wearing number 52, the number of former Blazer great Buck Williams. But, that wasn't the only move of the night for Portland. The other big news of the night was that Portland traded oft-troubled Zach Randolph plus Fred Jones and Dan Dickau to the Knicks. In return, Portland gets Channing Frye and malcontent Steve Francis. The rumors suggest Portland may try to buy Francis out to get cap room and go after a free-agent small forward (Rashard Lewis?), and will keep Frye. I'm not sure why the team would want this trade unless it was all to get rid of Randolph. Frye seems to play the same position as Aldridge and has a similar game. Francis is a lockerroom cancer and hasn't produced like Randolph has in the past few years. If Randolph can stay out of trouble in NY (a bi Read more:Trail

the star released from the New-York Islanders 2007-06-26 09:53:00 Alexei Yashin has been released from the New-York Islanders
just last week and is now an unrestricted free agent. He can now negociate with any NHL team for a new contract.Among the places that he is considering, Montreal is one of his first choices. He said that he has a nice relationship with Alex Kovalev, Andrei Markov and Saku Koivu.Can Yashin really help the Montreal Canadiens? We all know that Montreal has a big hole at the center position and with Yashin's raw talent, the 6'3'' and 220 pounds center could complete an efficient line along with Alex Kovalev and Sergei Samsonov.I think that Yashin could be a short term solution but the Habs should be very cautious with the amount of money and the duration of the contract that they are willing to offer to him. I think that a deal valued between 2 and 3 Millions for a single season could be a reasonnable price tag. Montreal should not offer a multi-year deal to force the russian player to perform next season.

NBA Draft grades (1st round) 2007-06-29 21:42:00 1. Portland - Greg Oden. As expected, the Blazers nabbed their franchise center. Grade: A2. Seattle - Kevin Durant. The Sonics made it two cornerstones in two picks. There is no question about the man is in Seattle with the departure of Ray Allen to Boston. Grade: A3. Atlanta -Al Horford. I still have the opinion that the Hawks should have taken Mike Conley here. Horford will be a nice player and they did get Acie Law later, but he won’t be the leader that Conley will. Grade: B-minus4. Memphis - Mike Conley Jr. The Grizzlies quickly snatched up Conley after Atlanta passed. Memphis obviously has plenty of needs, but there is talent with Pau Gasol and Rudy Gay on board. Conley has some developing to do, but he should be a great point in the league for a long time. Grade: A5. Boston - Jeff Green. Danny Ainge was picking for Seattle on this one, which completed the deal to bring Ray Allen to Boston, which also saw the departure of Delonte West and overpaid Wally Szcerbiak.This was a desp Read more:NBA
