| Soak up Super Bowl fun in Arizona on a shoestring
If you're an everyman headed to Arizona's "Valley of the Sun" this weekend to participate in the Super Bowl XLII festivities, you'll have to get creative, as high-profile parties will be accessible only to high-rollers and corporate insiders. "It's gonna be nuts," Scottsdale resident Matt Holmes said of the city, which is already crawling with the rich and famous. "Unless you've got a ton of money to blow, there won't be much for you to do." Maybe not much compared to the scope of the event, but there will certainly be plenty -- whether you're someone who likes to be pampered, an outdoors type, a shopper, a barfly or a spiritual seeker, you can find ways to keep yourself entertained before and after the game. .
Police release photos of suspect in killing of North Carolina student
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – Police in Chapel Hill are releasing two surveillance photos of a possible suspect in the killing of University of North Carolina's student body president. Police Chief Brian Curran said Saturday the photos were taken at an ATM machine in Chapel Hill. Curran says the photos were taken as the suspect used Eve Carson's ATM card. Police also released a photo of a baseball cap the suspect appeared to be wearing in one of the surveillance photos. Curran said they have yet to identify the suspect, but the photos are their strongest lead in the case. Police say Carson appears to be the victim of a random crime. The 22-year-old Carson was found shot to death early Wednesday on a city street not far from campus.

McCain wins Bush backing, bucks
Many are just now beginning to dial up large donors for contributions to Mr. McCain.
"A lot of them have gotten plugged in with us in the last couple of weeks," said Charlie Black, a Republican strategist who is now one of Mr. McCain's top advisers. The Bush endorsement "is message to them that if you're still on the sidelines, you need to help."
More importantly, the McCain team has enlisted Mercer Reynolds, the finance chairman for Mr. Bush's re-election campaign, to help bring in cash.
Mr. Reynolds, who recently said he plans to rebuild his fundraising team, raised nearly $260 million for the president's 2004 bid.
"Mercer's already lined up a lot of the top Bush fundraisers," Mr. Black said.
Republicans have traditionally far outraised Democrats in presidential campaigns, but the opposite has been true this cycle.
Loan Scandal Escalates
Asked about Lehmann running its financial aid office while being paid by a lender, Silber said, "I don’t know if it raises concerns" for the university. As the loan scandal has grown in the last two weeks, more and more institutions have become involved. Cuomo started off with a series of information requests and then agreements with colleges to stop taking payments from lenders based on the business the companies gained from being on recommended lender lists maintained by the colleges. Many of the colleges also agreed to repay these funds, which Cuomo called "kickbacks," but many colleges defended as a means of obtaining funds for student aid. Many of those agreements were with Education Finance Partners, whose CEO is also scheduled to appear at the Key West conference on protecting institutions from questions about inducements.
