| Feds ask Pa. school loan agency for $15M
The audit determined that PHEAA was overpaid $35 million in federal subsidies between July 2003 and June 2006 _ 13 percent of the more than $263 million it received during that period. But the department ultimately did not accept all the audit's findings, Patricia Trubia of the Federal Student Aid office wrote in her letter to PHEAA. Federal regulations allow lenders to receive federal subsidies for student loans funded by tax-exempt bonds issued before Oct. 1, 1993. The department estimates that PHEAA overbilled the government $15 million between October 2004 and September 2006 for loans that were refinanced with taxable and ineligible tax-exempt bonds, Trubia wrote. PHEAA has 30 days to respond to the letter, and spokesman Keith New said Friday the agency has not agreed how much money, if any, it should repay.

Unmade in China
One said Guo could arrange meetings with the mayors of Beijing and Shanghai at short notice. Guo maintains his aim is to do good things for Australia. Guo's marketing strategy, according to Magerl, was straightforward: mention "the big potatoes" honorary board members such as Bronwyn Bishop and Laurie Ferguson and they'll come running. The first hint that something was not right came in March 2005, about a month after he started, when then Tasmanian federal MP Harry Quick arrived. As with other "delegations" led by Victorian MP Ken Smith and then federal MP Kelly Hoare, there actually were no delegates accompanying Quick, despite "an incredible amount of lobbying". AITA's 30 Chinese staff organised an impressive list of guests from about 150 government agencies, associations and non-government bodies to attend a reception for Quick.
