Only a day before the mid-term elections, West Philadelphia resident Solange Chadda is taking her fight to get on the ballot to the highest level.

The D-League, formerly branded as the NBDL, is in its sixth season and serves as a farm system for NBA teams.
Democrats want you to vote this Tuesday entirely based on your opinion of President Bush. Mailing after mailing, TV ad after TV ad and speech after speech the Democrats have attempted to make every Republican candidate look like Bush's ally and therefore, according to them, an enemy of the people.
It might only be one meet into its 2006-07 season, but the Penn women's swimming team already has a new school record. In a 198-100 loss to Harvard Saturday, freshman Sara Coenen broke Megan Daney's 2003 record of 2:03.72 in the 200-yard backstroke with a time of 2:01.
