...Efforts like these to connect Africa will do more than add friends on Facebook. Boosting connectivity should do the same to countries' social and economic health, stoking trade and granting citizens access to crucial online health, education and government services, economists say. Stymieing the Web's expansion in Africa until now: the fixed-line telephone networks used to transmit Internet services in much of the rest of the world are almost nonexistent across the continent. On average, there are only four lines for every 100 people - the lowest rate anywhere in the world. That has left much of Africa reliant...
...shot upper 90, beating the keeper, only to see the shot deflect off the corner of the post. “It was a great ball by [Wideroff], she sent it in, and I just got a little unlucky,” Sheeleigh said. Sheeleigh was looking to add a goal to an assist she had tallied earlier the game. In the 17th minute of play, Sheeleigh once again took a perfect pass off the foot of sophomore Kerry Kartsonis and dribbled in one-on-one with the keeper.

If you avoid emphysema and cancer, your savings multiply. The potential savings from medical treatments could add tens of thousands of dollars more to your nest...

That means that replacing loans with grants at the California schools would cost significantly more. Add in political pressures to avoid increasing tuition and fees - a large percentage of which go to fund financial aid in California - and the idea of eliminating all loans is a nonstarter...
Textbooks in the U.S. are so expensive that even used versions can give students a sharp pain in the wallet. The 7th edition of Francis A. Carey's Organic Chemistry - a standard text for pre-med students - costs $213 new and somewhere around $150 used. Add to that the companion study guide ($113 new; $90 used) and a student would pay between $326 and $240 for just one class. With four to five classes a semester - many assigning multiple textbooks - the costs add...
