Home Cheese Soft-Ripened Cheeses Caprice des Dieux
Another "heavenly" soft ripened cheese from France bears it all in its name, which translates to "Caprice of the Gods". Its oval shape and blue packaging give Caprice des Dieux (Ca-pree-ez-day-diuh) a unique status among cheeses. The flavor of this cheese is pure, with the clean taste of cream, a meltingly smooth, soft center, and a flowery rind. A delight, that the whole family will appreciate for its delicious flavor and nutritional value. Caprice des Dieux is best served at room temperature, accompanied by light foods, such as fruits, along with light red or white wines. It truly shines on a piece of fresh French bread, and is a nice addition to any cheese platter.
Caprice des Dieux is the first French cheese ever to be produced in an oval shape. The distinctive shape, inspired by a famous French sweet, Calisson, was selected to convey the indulgent nature of the new cheese. Luxurious, soft, and buttery, Caprice des Dieux is a dense cheese that feels lush and melts easily on the tongue, yet does not have the liquid texture associated with Brie. The first bite of Caprice des Dieux is a new sensation of freshness. It has a clean taste with no trace of bitterness, a very creamy texture, and an intensely fresh mushroom and nut aftertaste. All this is contained within its velvety white skin. Caprice des Dieux is also a good source of calcium and is full of vitamins, minerals, and protein. (2.5 oz, or two small portions fulfill 30% of the recommended daily calcium requirements.)
Once the difficult war years were over, the French population aspired to find pleasure again in the consumption of high quality products. After five years of research, Jean-Noël Bongrain introduced the world to Caprice des Dieux. Officially launched in 1956, it was - and still remains - the most refined of cheeses. Its ovoid shape was a playful wink, that broke the uniformity of the circular and square boxes that filled the dairy shelves. Cloaked in a satiny skin that pleased the eye, this lozenge-shaped delicacy offered a uniquely smooth texture that distinguished it from other cheeses of that period, which were either too dry or too ripe. Fresh and velvety, its pure white heart delighted taste buds dissatisfied by the taste and texture of certain competitors that gave the word "cheese" a bad name. Its unique recipe, diamond shape, tri-colored brand identity and its name, quickly made Caprice des Dieux a food fit for the gods. No wonder Caprice des Dieux was met with great success, and the company quickly expanded its formats. In 1964, glory also arrived on the national level. The Minister of Agriculture presented Jean-Noël Bongrain with the Golden Cup of Best French taste ("Bon Goût Français") for his creation. Later on, while the consumer movement was experiencing its golden age with 50 million consumers, Caprice des Dieux was amongst the first ones to indicate the Best-Before Date on its packaging. Breaking the traditional rules of cheese consumption, Caprice des Dieux also suggested to consume fresh cheese for breakfast. What better way for children and adults alike to start the day than with a daily, optimal amount of calcium, phosphorus, vitamins and proteins? Over the years, Caprice des Dieux slowly became a part of French life. It still appeared at gourmet gatherings, but as the years went by, the oval box was included in the routines of daily life: lilies of the valley on May 1st, Christmas and Valentine's Day gifts, Mothers' Day, back-to-school, all the while the packaging changing to reflect the events.
For more than fifty years, the exclusive process of making Caprice des Dieux has taken place in the heart of the mountains of Bassigny, an area situated between the Vosges and Champagne regions in France. Caprice des Dieux is made in the factory in Illoud, in Haute Marne. The fabrication process is exclusive to Caprice des Dieux. Every day, the factory receives almost 80,000 gallons of milk. First the milk undergoes a thermal treatment to destroy the bacterial flora; then the standardization of fat content and maturation occur. Only natural ingredients, carefully monitored on a daily basis, are used. Once the milk is pasteurized, the cheese in made in four steps. Clotting: Under the effect of pressure and selected lactic acid ferments, the milk passes from a liquid to a solid state. Moulding: The "curd" is separated from the liquid ("serum") during the curd-cutting and curd-stirring operations. The product is then "moulded" to give the cheese its characteristic shape. Draining: For several hours, the lactic acid ferments develop, promoting draining. The cheese is turned over several times. Salting: The purpose of this operation is two-fold: it improves the preservation of the product and assures a balanced taste. Ripening and Conditioning: The ripening process helps develop the cheese's specific and varied flavors. It also improves the texture, making it more velvety, and promotes the formation of the delicate white rind.

Miami Dolphins re-sign nose tackle Paul Soliai
The Miami Dolphins have landed their first big free agent of the 2012 signing period, and that player happens to be a member of last year's team.
Nose tackle Paul Soliai has cancelled a trip to Denver and is signing a contract that allows the Dolphins to keep the team's Pro Bowler in Miami.
Soliai, a 2007 fourth-round pick, was the lynch-pin of a defense that finished third in the NFL against the run last season. His performance had him named to the AFC Pro Bowl team in 2012.
The Dolphins placed a franchise tag on Soliai last season, paying him $12.47 million to keep the former Utah standout from hitting the free agent market.
This year Miami decided against tagging Soliai, preserving the team's cap space for a quarterback. But it appears Soliai's desire to stay in South Florida convinced him against visiting with the Broncos, and signing elsewhere.
Soliai's return will allow Randy Starks to remain a defensive end. The Dolphins could also use Starks and Soliai inside at the tackles in a four-down linemen front.
The Broncos had a visit scheduled with Soliai for Thursday, and Kansas City, San Francisco and the New England Patriots all expressed interest in signing the Samoan, who is from Pago Pago.
Retaining Soliai likely means the Dolphins will allow Kendall Langford to sign elsewhere. Langford, a four-year starter, is presently on his way to a visit with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Terms, or the length of Soliai's deal were not immediately disclosed.
With Soliai signed Miami has a defensive front that features Soliai, Starks, Jared Odrick, Tony McDaniel and Phillip Merling, who was re-signed on Tuesday. The Dolphins usually use six or seven defensive linemen in a playing-time rotation to keep everyone fresh.
However, all of the team's defensive linemen are viewed as anchors – players who weight more than 275 pounds – which means the Dolphins still need to add "pressure players" who can get after the quarterbacks.

Thinking of packing a Lone Star-style picnic supper with jalapeno-dripped fried chicken, kahlua brownies and Shiner Bock. Maybe some cold Dr Pepper...
On Saturday, I'll be judging the Chef Showdown at the Downtown Farmers Market in Pioneer Park. You'll be there anyway because you want to pick up some peaches, which seem to be more delicious this year than ever before. (Do I say that every year? Maybe. It's hard to hold the memory of a fresh peach.)
We ate some-with a gorgeous scoop of creme fraiche-on top of waffles from Bruges across the street from the market this week. OMG. We ate some stuffed with amaretti and egg and baked for a minute or two. We ate them over almond ice cream and we ate them out of hand. Maybe I'll make peach hand pies for the Willie Nelson picnic, instead of the brownies.
Anyway, about the competition-Nathan Powers from Bambara (last year's champion), Jerry Liedtke from The Tin Angel and Charlie Perry from Eva will cook 3 courses in 3 hours; I'll be tasting with Ted Sheffler (CIty Weekly) and Kathy Stephenson (Salt Lake Tribune) around 12:30. This is the official kickoff to the fall season of Downtown Dine O Round.
No one ever said it better than Guy Clark, in his ode to homegrown tomatoes. Take a minute to give it a listen.
One of the simplest ideas for a celebration, ever, and one of the best-Wasatch Gardens' Annual Tomato Sandwich Party. Homemade pesto, fresh Crumb Brothers bread and never-ever refrigerated heirloom tomatoes straight from the garden. At the Grateful Tomato Garden (800 S. 600 East) from 11-2. The Grateful Tomato Garden is half community garden and half youth garden. The garden is divided into 40 beautiful and productive garden plots (4x40) with a natural spring in the middle of the garden and a strawbale greenhouse on the east side.
Also on Saturday, Whole Foods Road Tour stops at the Park City Whole Foods store. Meet the folks-people like Angela Cox from Cox Honey-behind the food and enjoy samples, music, conversation, a grilled lunch and great groceries.
Plus face-painting for the kids.
(Sometimes I think I could add that phrase on to every event I write about. There will be face painting at the Tomato Sandwichc Party, too, and for all I know, at the Farmers Market. Do kids even like face-painting that much? I went all the way through childhood without having my face painted once. I wonder if I could get my face painted to look like Willie Nelson?)

Backgammon is a popular two-player board game with pieces called stones. The deceivingly simple goal? Move all your stones off the table first. Now you can play this game against other people over the Internet.
Open the Games folder by clicking the Start button . In the search box, type games, and then, in the list of results, click Games Explorer.
Double-click Internet Backgammon.
(Don't see it? Check Where are my games?)
Click Play.
If your computer is connected to the Internet, the game will start. If not, you'll be prompted to connect. Internet Backgammon works only if you're online.
You can select different pieces and boards.
Click the Game menu, and then click Change Appearance.
Make your choices, and then click OK.
Internet Backgammon has two dozen text messages you can use for letting an opponent know what's on your mind.
To make sure chat is turned on, click the on button under Chat in the lower-right corner.
In the lower-left corner, click Select a message to send, and then click one of the pre-written phrases.
Be first to remove all your stones from the board.
Backgammon is a two-person game played with pieces called stones. Each side—Brown and White—starts with 15 stones.
Stones are placed on a board consisting of twenty-four narrow triangles. The triangles—called points—alternate color and are arranged into quadrants of six triangles each.
Points on each side are numbered 1 to 12. The board is divided by a center partition called the bar.
To the right of the board, you'll see a pip count. This is the total number of points you must move your stones to remove them from the board (called bearing off in backgammon). The pip count starts at 167 points.
To bear off your stones, you'll have to move them all counterclockwise from the 1-point at the upper-right corner of the screen to the 1-point at the lower-right corner of the screen.
To decide who goes first, each player clicks the Roll button to throw a single die. The player with the higher number wins. Players then alternate turns, each rolling two dice.
The numbers determine how far you can move your stones. For example, if you roll a 4 and a 2, you can move one stone four points counterclockwise—then move either the same stone or a different stone two more points. (If you roll doubles, you can play the numbers on both dice twice, moving up to four stones.)
To move a stone, click it, drag it to a new point, and then click again to release. Windows won't allow illegal moves. When you hover over or click a stone, solid diamonds appear next to points where you can legally move it.
You can move a stone across enemy-occupied points. But your stone can land only on points containing either your own stones or fewer than two of your opponent's pieces. A point with two or more enemy stones is closed and off limits.
If a closed point allows you to use only one roll, you must play the higher number. If neither roll is possible, you lose your turn.
To start removing (or bearing off) stones from the board, you must first have moved all 15 stones into your home table—the six points in the lower-right quadrant of the board. You bear off a stone by moving it off the board to the right.
A point occupied by a single stone is called a blot. If your opponent's stone lands on your blot (or hits it in game lingo), that stone is banished to the bar. If you have stones on the bar, you must move them back into play before you can move any other pieces.
If all 6 points on your opponent's home table are closed, you're stuck on the bar. You'll have to wait until your opponent creates an open point.
Each game has a value of 1 point. You can increase the value of a game by doubling. When you click the Double button, your opponent must either accept the double or resign.
If your opponent accepts, your opponent is then free to double again. If you accept, the right to use the Double button returns to you. This can continue until players reach the maximum 64 points. The changing game value is tracked by the doubling cube on the right of the board.
If you've borne off all your stones before your opponent has borne off any stones, the game is called gammon. You receive double the game score.
If you've borne off all your stones before your opponent has borne off any, and your opponent has a stone on the bar or in your home table, the game is called backgammon. You receive triple the game score.
Resigning can impact your score in various ways, depending on how you do it. If your opponent offers to double the score and you choose to resign, your opponent wins whatever points were at stake prior to the offer.
If you resign in the middle of play by clicking the Resign button, you must concede a certain number of points to your opponent.
Give 'em a nudge. Is your opponent intentionally stalling, or slowing down the game hoping to make you quit? Watch for the Nudge button to appear. By clicking it, you'll force the other player to make a move, or be disconnected from the game.
Closing time. Close your 5-point and 7-point as quickly as possible. If necessary, use the stones on your opponent's 12-point to help. Next close your 4-point, then any additional points on your home table.
Protecting blots. When moving a stone out of your opponent's home table early in the game, get it as near as possible to your opponent's 12-point. Moves to the 9-point or the 7-point should be avoided, as they make the blot too easy to hit.
Splitting runners. You can split the two stones (called runners) on your opponent's 1-point early in the game. But it's generally advised to leave them alone early in the game unless they can hit a blot or be moved together. This could happen by rolling 6 and 6, or 4 and 4, for example.
Creating primes. Hit a blot on your 5-point, even if you have to leave a blot, with the expectation of covering it on your next move. This can lead to a series of six adjacent closed points (called a prime)—a barrier that puts you in a strong position to win.
Watch pip counts. The pip counter tracks how many points you must move to bear off your stones. If your count is much higher than your opponent's, you might want to play more aggressively than if your pip count was lower.
Figure your end game. If your opponent offers to resign, you can refuse and try to get a gammon, which will double the points shown on the doubling cube.

ZF-10616: Wrong method names in Docs - Zend_Layout Advanced Usage > Inflection can be disabled
In the docs for ZF 1.8 (and possibly in later versions too):
http://framework.zend.com/manual/1.8/… (bottom of the page)
It says: {quote} Zend_Layout Advanced Usage ... Note: Inflection can be disabled ... Simply use the enableInflection() and disableInflection() methods. {quote}
However, if you look at the code, those methods do not exist in the {{Zend_Layout}} class.
Instead, there are two other methods that do modify the {{$_inflectorEnabled}} property:
{{enableInflector()}} and {{disableInflector()}}
I reckon the line in the docs, at the bottom of the page should be changed from:
bq. Simply use the enableInflection() and disableInflection() methods.
bq. Simply use the enableInflector() and disableInflector() methods.
Definitely in version 1.8, possibly in later versions too.
Fixed in trunk r23286, merged 1.11 release branch r23287 - thanks.

Hicky, a spokesman, said, "I've always wanted something like this on our forum. It really makes it seem more special; it really adds another branch to the PD file cabinet. The project is racing in development and I hope that one day my ambition of having the biggest role-play on the internet can become true! We have the right equipment; the project is set out in full, and I really hope it goes well."
We hope you enjoy the experience!
You can view the Legacies of a Pokémon Dream at the following link - Legacies of a Pokemon Dream. Note you must register first, but registration is quick, easy, and free, and shouldn't take long!

We're in Charlottesville, VA
EXCLUSIVE! Available ONLY at MagicTricks.com! Perform the fast and fun Follow the Bottle routine, or surprise them with the stunning Multiplying Color Bottles effect! This fabulous HIGH QUALITY set can only be purchased HERE!
And we can't say enough about the quality of this set. Works smooth as silk every time, and looks FABULOUS from stage! We are very proud to offer such a well-made set of bottles.
Follow the Bottle is Peter Monticup's variation of the classic Passe Passe Bottles trick. This wonderful effect has been redesigned by MagicTricks.com to be easier and faster than ever to perform. In this routine, a bottle and a glass are covered by two tubes. The bottle not only changes places with the glass again and again, but the bottle also changes color!
Multiplying Color Bottles is another trick you can do with this set! Cover a bottle with a tube, and make it turn into a bunch of bottles- different colors, too! The Multiplying Color Bottles can stand on its own as an effect in your show, or you can combine the two tricks for a really sensational routine!
Once you learn the secret, you can easily make up your own routine. For example, you can make the bottle switch with the glass, then make the bottle disappear altogether, then make TWO glasses appear, then change the glasses into bottles, then multiply the bottles all over the tabletop as a grand finish!
You can present this effect as a comedy routine (which is what Monticup does in the demo), or you can present it as a mystery- it's up to you!
The Bottles set is lightweight, too. The tubes are made of powdercoated metal, and the bottles are made of precision spun aluminum for years of troublefree use. The whole set stores compactly for safe and easy transport. Bright colors, bright labels!
You supply the small glass or container to switch with the bottle. Use any small glass. We used a plastic jar that ice cream came in.Of course, you supply the money used in the routine, if you use Peter Monticup's routine as shown in the demo video.
You can easily change the labels on the bottles- and even the tubes. Blank self-adhesive sheets and labels are available at any office supplies store (like Staples or Office Depot). Design your own label and print it out on the sticky sheets. This is also a great idea if the labels begin to show signs of wear.

Men's baseball league keeps former players in the game
Published: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 8:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 8:53 p.m.
The local Coastal Men's Baseball League is only four years old but has already become a desired outlet to help many former players, including UNCW's Jonathan Batts, Alex Hill and Chris Coughlin, stay involved in the sport.
Batts, who graduated in 2007 as the Seahawks' all-time RBI leader, is league president.
Sanctioned by Men's Senior Baseball League and Men's Amateur Baseball League, the seven-team group includes a squad from Myrtle Beach and has age divisions 18-30, 31-44 and 45 and over. Teams play a 10-game schedule from April to late July. The early finish is by design. Batts noticed interest seems to wane in August when school resumes and with the start of the NFL season in September.
"It is a fun league, yet it is competitive at the same time,'' Batts said.
According to Batts, the league may change its format next year and participate strictly in tournaments instead of a weekly team schedule.
Batts, who starred at Topsail High School and was taken in the Major League Baseball Draft as a catcher his junior season with the Seahawks, plays on the Stingrays with Hill and Coughlin.
Hill, an outfielder, played for UNCW from 2008-11.Coughlin, a right-handed pitcher, started 44 games for the Seahawks between 1999-2003 and ranks eighth in career strikeouts with 231.
He also pitched three seasons in the Kansas City Royals farm system and tossed a no-hitter in 2004 in the Midwest League.
Although two games into this season, Batts said new players and teams are still welcome.
Batts can be reached at email@example.com. More information also is available at coastalmensbaseball.com.

Who's Ready For Warped Tour?!
There are some things I look forward to every year—MLB Opening Day, the first day after summer ends that it's cool enough to wear a hoodie, and the start of the Vans Warped Tour! Warped Tour has become a staple of summertime since my first appearance back in 2001 (yea yea, I know I'm old). Last year I was lucky enough to hit the road with our amazing tour crew for a few days to talk to bands about our Animal Testing Breaks Hearts campaign. This year, I'll be at it again!
Warped Tour officially kicks off today in California, and peta2 is there in full force to remind everyone that Elephants Never Forget about the abuses they face behind the scenes of the circus. Stop by the peta2 booth to say hi, pick up some sweet merch, and leave with all the free literature you can carry to help spread the word to friends and family.
You can check out this year's full lineup here to see who all is playing your city, but to tide you over, here's just a few of the bands hitting the stages this year:
After Midnight Project
Attack Attack!
Alkaline Trio
Breathe Carolina
Bring Me The Horizon
Closure In Moscow
Eyes Set To Kill
Four Year Strong

Versa Emerge
We The Kings
Stoked yet?! Who are you most excited to see this year? You'll find me partying hard with Andrew W.K.!

I think we should have a season long thread for fantasy football questions. I had an auction draft Saturday night, not a fan of that format, league manager has no clue what he's doing (but thinks he know it all) and it takes forever but I think I got a decent team out of it.
PPR; QB, RB-2, WR-2, Flex, TE, D , K
My team is :
Reggie Bush
Chris Johnson
Alfred Morris
J. Nelson
Cecil Shorts
Tavon Austin
Pretty solid team. I had my draft last night and its old school they only go by yards for points. So my question is out of my receivers: Jordy Nelson, Hakeem Nicks, Vernon Davis, Brian Hartline, Kenbrell Thompkins, and Kenny Stills. Which 3 stand best chance? Jordy and Nicks for sure.

and then IDK. I do not trust Vernon Davis with CK as the quarterback. I had him on my team last year, and he was worthless down the stretch after the switch.
To the OP, unless they can force a ton of turnovers the Packers D is going to be awful. I say this as a Pack fan, who was incredibly disappointed to not get Eddie Lacy, but they will not be good at stopping ANYBODY this year. I envision a couple games where they probably score you negative points.

Standard league I'd go Lamar Miller. RB is a safer (and usually better) play in standard leagues.
Another PPR draft tomorrow. 10 teams I draft third. No clue who to take. Maybe Martin if hes there. Foster?
Any advice?

Unrelated to your guys' draft, but in my league with some buddies I'm about to complete a trade for his Demaryius Thomas and David Wilson for Wes Welker and Fred Davis.
Yes that's the biggest steal of a trade ever.

Thought I had a good trade going. I was gettting A.J. Green, he was getting Lamar Miller & Miles Austin. (I already have Doug Martin, Stevan Ridley, & Demarco Murray) - 12 team league.
Buttttt, apparently 4 people in the league vetoed the trade so it didn't go thru. Seriously? Isn't the veto capability there to avoid total trade-rapes? It's not like I was giving him Knowshon Moreno for his stud WR, he's the one who offered it in the 1st place!
Am I the only one who thinks this is a total over-use of the veto power in fantasy football?!? It's ridiculous..

Medical Coding Training in Tahlequah, OK
Medical coding training in Tahlequah, OK. Unlike a medical biller, a medical coder in Tahlequah, OK is responsible primarily for taking data and information from a medical document and transferring it to be processed for payment.

A successful medical coder should be thoroughly confident in their knowledge of insurance policies, medical terms, medical shorthand, human anatomy, physiology and insurance laws. Medical coders will always be hot commodities in the medical world and the career is fairly recession-proof.

This is the newest video from Mark Ronson & The Business Intl for the song "Somebody To Love Me" off of Mark Ronson's latest album, Record Collection, and features vocals by Boy George and Miike Snow's Andrew Wyatt. Smooth tribal beats create the core of the track while the duet between Boy George's motown tinged chorus and Andrew Wyatt's pristine falsetto works beautifully. Plus we're really digging the recreated '80′s "footage" of Boy George in Culture Club- it's bittersweet nostalgia at its best.

Shit Serpent, few people like diseased black pussy.
Mex, it must only be for you. I see all of them.
What are you a fuckin fag?! You must be mentally retarded or a complete dumb ass to say that. Its another case of the dumb white boy trying to fit in with his red neck buddies, and his inbred moron and jew counterparts so he can brutally enslave third world countries and up hold his ignorance in the eyes of his brothers in the gay paligimis cult.
Plus nobody gives a fuck what some bloated red neck ass wipe has to say anyway.

Church to host special holiday service, singing
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 4:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 4:50 p.m.
WELCOME | Center United Methodist Church will host a free Southern Gospel reunion concert called "An Evening with the Welcomaires: The Unplugged & Barely Rehearsed Tour" at 6 p.m. Sunday.
The Welcomaires were a regional, all-male, Southern Gospel quartet (three members from the Welcome area) who met at N.C. State University. These Christian artists traveled and performed with a live band from 1992 to 1998 with award-winning groups like The Statler Brothers, Gold City, The Isaacs and the Chuck Wagon Gang.
The tour will be in select cities throughout the fall and spring and is a reunion of the members. The events will give the group an opportunity to share their favorite music and memories from their days touring while debuting some new songs as well.
Jon Essick, an original group member and Welcome native, said, "We were always asked by fans to give that rare glimpse of what life was like inside our ministry, traveling from church to church in various cities. This will be a special evening where we will sing the favorites, but we'll also get to tell all of those stories that many folks haven't heard."
The event will be held as a fundraiser for the Center UMC Family Life Center, home of the popular Pickin' & Grinnin' music series held every fifth Thursday night of the month.
Seating is general admission. For directions or more information, call 731-6616 or visit www.centermethodistwelcome.org. A love offering will be taken to benefit needy families in the area.

Spun Chair
Upright, the Spun Chair has the appearance of a sculptural vessel. But when leaned on its side, it becomes a fun and functional chair that lets you rock side to side or spin around. Architect and designer Thomas Heatherwick created the Spun Chair using a rotational molding technique to shape plastic.
Spun is available in four solid colors—dark purple, red, white, and grey anthracite—in a polypropylene material. It also comes in a translucent polycarbonate version in smoke grey and amber. All Spun Chairs are equally appropriate for indoor and outdoor use.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
At the top of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention list of primary risk factors for all chronic diseases are: smoking, poor nutrition, and sedentary lifestyle.
Living a healthier lifestyle can help to prevent heart disease. This includes the following:
Eliminate all tobacco products:
Adhere to a heart-healthy diet:
To try and eliminate any confusion, the federal government has established a food pyramid and food labeling laws. The food pyramid can help you eat a variety of foods while encouraging the right amount of calories and fat.
To find more information about the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 and to determine the appropriate dietary recommendations for your age, sex, and physical activity level, visit the Online Resources page for the links to the Food Pyramid and 2005 Dietary Guidelines sites. Please note that the Food Pyramid is designed for persons over the age of two who do not have chronic health conditions.
Maintaining a heart-healthy, balanced diet will help to:
Follow an appropriate exercise program:
One vital step toward reducing your chances of having a heart attack is making the time to exercise. Today, with our fast-paced society, people must schedule time to exercise. Choose an activity that you enjoy doing, then talk with your physician about an exercise plan that meets your individual capabilities and needs.
An exercise program will help in the management of almost all stroke and heart attack risk factors. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005 recommend that an individual engage in at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity, above usual activity, at work or home on most days of the week. Regular physical activity will help to promote health, psychological well-being, and a healthy body weight.
Always consult your physician regarding your healthy diet and exercise requirements.

LeBron James elbow injury? Please.
Steve Nash eye injury? Amazing.
The fact that Steve Nash played the entire fourth quarter for the Phoenix Suns' game four sweep of the San Antonio Spurs with one working eye is nothing short of impressive. With his court vision somewhat impaired, Steve Nash (a guard nonetheless) dished out five assists and 10 critical fourth quarter points after 6-foot-11 Tim Duncan split his eye open with an elbow in the third quarter.
Steve Nash's performance was valiant. Even better, he didn't complain or cover his eye or point to his eye repeatedly to remind the world he was injured (in the event the team lost).
Surely LeBron James' elbow injury is real and few doubt he is hurting. But the image of him taking the free-throw shot with his left and after netting his first by shooting correctly or watching him grimace and grab his elbow is really over the top.
There isn't a player in the NBA playoffs right now that isn't fighting some nagging injury every night. And if the injury is that bad, wear a suit and sit on the sidelines.

Released in November 1995, The Ghost of Tom Joad by Bruce Springsteen was a far cry from the celebratory rock and roll marathons of Born in the USA, sharing more in common with the sheer production and pointed commentary of his masterpiece, Nebraska. A largely acoustic album of spectral songs about marginalized characters struggling to survive in an increasingly troubled America, The Ghost of Tom Joad – and its gripping title track – recently found a new rock and roll audience.
Nearly 17 years after its release, in September 2012, the Chicago punk quartet Rise Against breathed new life into the powerful narratives and blunt political commentary of Springsteen's "Joad" at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Joined on stage by Gaslight Anthem frontman Brian Fallon, the MC5's Wayne Kramer and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, the members of Rise Against delivered a bold recasting of "The Ghost of Tom Joad." The song will appear on the forthcoming Rise Against rarities compilation, Long Forgotten Songs: B-Sides & Covers 2000-2013 (scheduled release date is September 10, 2013).
"I remember watching the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 25th-anniversary special where Tom Morello played this song with Springsteen himself and just being absolutely blown away at the solo he did," Rise Against frontman Tom McIlrath recently told Rolling Stone. "Little did I know that someday I'd be watching him do it from three feet away. Mind-blowing. The guitar nerd inside of me had a thousand tiny heart attacks."
When Morello visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, he was interested in the Museum's Roots of Rock exhibits, where he posed before the guitar played by one of his guitar heroes: Lead Belly. Morello's own history is featured in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, in the form of the 1985 Ford Astro van that Rage Against the Machine toured in during their earliest days, from 1991 to 1993, opening for Pearl Jam, Public Enemy, Ice T and more.
"From desperate escapes from Tijuana to fomenting riots in Bakersfield, the Astro was always there," Morello told the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012. "I was recently thinking of scrapping her and donating the money to charity, but it dawned on me that the RRHOF might have an auto division. Neither myself nor Rage literally never would have gotten anywhere without her."

Oldsmobile Achieva Custom Hoods, Oldsmobile Achieva Custom Trunks
Aftermarket Oldsmobile Achieva hoods help make a car look newer. Just this one replacement can make a big difference in a car's appearance, mainly because it's such a large component in and of itself. You can replace a Oldsmobile Achieva hood with one that's an exact copy of the vehicle's stock Oldsmobile hood, or you can select a customized Oldsmobile hood that falls in line with a new design you had in mind for your Oldsmobile car. Either way, you'll end up with a Oldsmobile car that's better looking, with an engine that's better protected from anything that might damage it
Oldsmobile Achieva Carbon Fiber Trunks are located at the back of most Oldsmobile trucks, Oldsmobile SUVs, and Oldsmobile cars, and act as the main storage spaces for these vehicles. For Oldsmobile truck owners, the Oldsmobile trunk is mostly an open bed that is left uncovered. For Oldsmobile drivers of cars and SUVs, however, the Oldsmobile trunk is often a distinct space reserved for the transportation of luggage, groceries, and all kinds of other odds and ends.
Though you can't replace the Oldsmobile trunk space itself, you can replace the Oldsmobile rear trunk hatch that keep that keeps the trunk space enclosed. Also often known as a Oldsmobile Achieva hatch, this piece is as replaceable as the Oldsmobile Achieva front hood is, though it is replaced far less commonly. If your car got rear-ended, or even if it's just bruised up a bit to the point where paint alone can't make a difference, you may want to replace that trunk hatch or Oldsmobile Achieva hood with an aftermarket version that looks cleaner and newer to help maintain the value of your Oldsmobile vehicle.

This offers an opportunity to implement long overdue reforms. The planned restructuring should follow the objective to improve the visibility and priority of sustainability themes in the UN system. An important building block in these reforms might be the founding of a Sustainable Development Council (SDC) to replace the politically weak UN Commis- sion on Sustainable Development (CSD). The UN General Assembly could pass a resolu- tion establishing such a council as its subsidiary organ. The UN Conference on Sustainable Development is scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012. The objective of the summit is to create the political framework for rapid transformation of the global economy into a green economy.? This will require, first of all, the right economic incentives, and second, a reform of the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development (IFSD). The United Nations system in its current form is incapable of providing adequate support for the restructuring measures needed to foster the development of a green economy. But how would the institutional architecture in the area of sustainability have to change in order for such a sweeping transformation to succeed? To date, the discussion has focused on transforming the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) into a fully fledged United Nations Environ--ment Organization (UNEO or WEO). Besides the EU, an increasing numbers of countries are working toward strengthening the environmental pillar of the UN system. In addition, the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) needs to be reformed The Commission on Sustainable Development?A Toothless Tiger The CSD was founded in 1992 following the conclusion of the UN Conference on Environment and Development in Rio. It is charged with monitoring progress in the implementation of its outcomes, including Agenda 21 and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. Furthermore, it is responsible for providing political guidance to follow-up the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation, adopted in 2002. Currently, it is not fulfilling either of these functions convincingly. As one of nine functional commissions of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), the CSD is not in the position to effectively perform its assigned role as a monitoring mechanism, much less to take on political leadership. Its strategy of working with seven two-year cycles, with each cycle focusing on selected thematic clusters, has indeed contributed to the desired topical focus. Yet at the same time, this has hindered the capacity of the CSD to respond flexibly to current developments. Like the fifteenth session of the CSD in the year 2007, the nineteenth session in May 2011 ended without producing tangible results?the best evidence of how urgently a reform of the Commission is needed. The delegates did reach broad agreement on the content of a Ten-Year Framework of Programmes on Sustainable Consumption and Production (10YFP). They also achieved consensus in other areas of sustainable development that had been under discussion for some (transport, chemicals, waste management, and mining). Nevertheless, they failed to adopt a final version of the text due to disagreements over technological coopera tion and the language on the rights of people living under foreign occupation. CSD-19 thus marked the lowest point to date in the history of an institution that was founded with high expectations. Reform of the CSD is absolutely essential for it to be able to fulfill its original mandate and support the global transformation towards a green economy. Reform Goals A reformed institutional framework for sustainable development should fulfill two key functions. To strengthen the UN institutions? ability to successfully implement effective sustainability policies, it should, first of all, provide high-level proactive leadership and political guidance. The United Nations can only accomplish what its Member States empower it to do. To this end, meetings should be attended by policy makers who have the authority not just to reach minimal consensus but also to negotiate ambitious and, wherever possible, binding targets that include timetables for implementation. Second, it is indisputable that, finally, decisions need to be implemented more consistently. This calls for effective mechanisms of monitoring and compliance management. To achieve both of these goals, there are several conceivable options for strengthening sustainability governance. Current discussions revolve around how the CSD, whose work to date has been inefficient, can be strengthened, enhanced, or indeed replaced. Overall, the reform proposals aim at making sustainability policy a higher priority within the UN system. In the past, there was a tendency to keep adding more new institutions instead of carrying out effective reforms of the existing institutions. The UN has succeeded in acting in a more coordinated way in the public time sphere?for example, with UN Water or with the Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB). However, these institutions have contributed little to providing political leadership or improving implementation. The existing strategy has been inadequate to meet present challenges in the area of sustainability policy. A Council for Sustainable Development A key building block for stronger UN sustainability institutions might be created by transforming the CSD into a Sustainable Development Council (SDC). This option is now even being discussed at official level in the preparations for Rio 2012. So far, the CSD has been a subsidiary organ under ECOSOC auspices, reporting to it, and therefore suffering from the latter?s weakness. The Economic and Social Council may make recommendations and draft agreements but cannot make binding decisions. ECOSOC, for its part, reports to the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), which exercises the actual political control. The new SDC is to be given a stronger mandate and positioned at a substantially higher level within the UN system. A number of options for this were discussed in July 2011, when high-ranking representatives of Member States, UN institutions, and civil society organizations met for talks in the Indonesian city of Solo. The first option was that an SDC could be set up on the model of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) as a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly. This could be accomplished through a resolution of the UNGA, and would therefore not necessitate a revision of the UN Charter. The SDC could make recommendations directly to the General Assembly, which would then subsequently have to approve these. The implementation of UNGA resolutions would thereafter rest in the hands of the SDC. A council established in this way should meet at the same time as ECOSOC, thus each year alternately in New York and Geneva. This would improve the opportunities for coordination within the United Nations. A group of pioneer states?, which still remains to be launched (e.g. a ?UN Sustainability Group?), could use such a framework to act as a catalyst for this process. This solution would guarantee high visibility for sustainability policy. At the same time, the new Council would be in a more prominent position to exercise political leadership. A second option might be to realign the the High-level Segment of the Economic and Social Council. While it is already dealing with important economic, social, and environmental matters, it still lacks a specific focus on issues of sustainability, or rather an explicit nexus between the three pillars of sustainable development. This alternative would not require a revision of the Charter. Arguably, there would be the risk that the problems of ECOSOC, which is itself in need of reform?due among other things to its cumbersome decision-making processes and lack of effective political power?would have a negative impact on the SDC. In principle, however, it is conceivable that efforts to address sustainability issues could be enhanced by these kinds of high-level meetings, whether they involve the participating ministers in ECOSOC or the heads of state and government attending UNGA. This could provide the framework to generate the necessary political will and leadership in order to promote the outcome reached at the Rio 2012 conference. A third option would be to fundamentally reform the Economic and Social Council itself. It could be renamed and its focus redefined by expanding its authority to cover environmental issues. It could thus replace the CSD. A reform of ECOSOC would be highly desirable in principle and has been attempted numerous times in the past. In order to change the ECOSOC mandate, however, one would need a two-thirds majority in UNGA and the ratification by two-thirds of all UN Member States, including the five permanent members of the Security Council. Most notably the minimum number of successfully concluded ratification processes would make this option a tedious and protracted procedure. But even without amending the Charter, ECOSOC in the final outcome document in Rio could be called upon to mainstream sustainability issues into all of its fields of activity. Fourth, the currently inactive UN Trusteeship Council, being a principal organ of United Nations and thus established on the same level as the General Assembly and ECOSOC, could be transformed. Compared to the other reform proposals, this option would provide the highest-ranking formal framework for sustainable development within the UN system. But this, too, would require a change in the UN Charter. This makes the first option?the Council for Sustainable Development as a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly?the most promising reform option for Rio 2012. Membership and Voting Rights Up to now, the adoption of recommendations is in the hands of the 53 Member States of the CSD. Each member has one vote; a simple majority shall suffice. When the new SDC is being established, the seats are to be allocated?just as they are in the CSD or HRC?to create a governing body with a geographically balanced quota. Again, each member would have one vote. As a rule, the members of the SDC would be expected to seek unanimous recommendations to lend more weight to their decisions. Only when no consensus appears attainable are majority decisions to be made. Another option would be to introduce innovative procedural rules to prevent impasses and to avoid biased decisions. Linking decisions that entail financial costs to a double weighted majority, as is done in the Global Environment Facility (GEF), would be conceivable. This would require, in addition to a 60 percent majority of all Member State votes, a 60 percent majority of the total contributions. One could also consider models in which the voting rights are allocated to stakeholders that are particularly affected by decisions. Here, the nine Major Groups of the CSD could be granted voting rights. This could be accomplished by means of a ?third chamber within the SDC (see below). In certain cases, recommendations could be adopted with a double or?when there are relevant financial consequences? triple majority. This would significantly increase the legitimacy of decisions and more effectively integrate civil society organizations being crucial for implementation and oversight. Improving Coordination In the past, the UN has taken important steps to better coordinate the work of its numerous organizations, programmes, and commissions. The Chief Executives Board for Coordination (CEB) is a body of 28 UN institutions?primarily UN specialized agencies?that was established to ensure, on the highest level, a coherent and efficient world organization. Apart from this, there are other groupings including various institutions, such as the United Nations Development Group (UNDG), chaired by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the UNEP-led Environment Management Group (EMG). All three bodies have the stated aim of coordinating the set of issues pertaining to sustainable development. Additionally, there are thematically organized coordination groups such as UN Water, UN Energy, and UN Oceans. Within the new Sustainable Development Council, a bicameral system could help to further integrate the thematically relevant bodies. The first chamber (State Chamber) would consist of UN Member States, and the second of UN organizations and programmes (Organization Chamber). In the first chamber, the Member States of the SDC would engage in dialog and discuss joint positions and draft recommendations for resolutions which, in the future, may be adopted by the UNGA. The second chamber would have no voting rights, but would work in parallel to provide internal coordination within the UN. It could work with various committees to facilitate voting processes that are as targeted and thematically focused as possible. The UN Development Group and the Environment Management Group could be integrated into these committees. This would benefit not only the coordination of the numerous multilateral environmental treaties and environmentally relevant UN institutions; it would also produce an added value by creating a joint segment linking the two chambers, thereby fostering exchange between the international community and the UN system and thus enable more precisely tailored political governance. Moreover, a high-level Interagency Sustainable Development Committee? could play a coordinating role both in preparing for sessions of the SDC and, subsequently, in ensuring that recommendations are implemented swiftly. Furthermore, it should be considered whether a third chamber representing civil society organizations (Civil Society Chamber) would be a meaningful addition. Enhancing Participation One positively evaluated area of the CSD?s activity is its cooperation with civil society. The new SDC should build on these elements and allow for the comprehensive participation of external stakeholders. The CSD understands the term civil society? in a broad sense being the set of persons, institutions, and organizations that pursue a common goal?namely, to drive forward an objective in the area of sustainable development through their ideas, campaigns, and demands. Potential actors may be individuals, religious groups, academic institutions or NGOs. The total number of civil society organizations involved in the CSD?s processes is an impressive 2,096. In terms of quality, too, the Commission at present has important mechanisms in place to engage civil society. For example, the nine Major Groups of the CSD have the opportunity to participate in the sessions of the Commission upon registration prior to the opening of the meeting. They receive access to the essential documents beforehand; and at the actual meetings, they have certain options to present their views. They are so closely involved that they are even allowed to participate in talks at the ministerial level. These mechanisms should be further developed, since after all, stakeholders are the driving force behind issues of sustainable development. They are able to mobilize a wider public when it comes to adopting and implementing international agreements. Involvement of civil society could be strengthened, inter alia, by creating binding provisions for early participation in all relevant processes. The rules for participation should be adapted so that representatives of civil society in general are permitted to attend meetings unless no more than one-third of the Member States vote against this. All of the CSD?s nine Major Groups should be involved in the consultation processes, with all three pillars of sustainable development being equally represented?that is, taking into account environmental, social, and economic groupings. The question as to who is to represent which interest would be coordinated by the groups themselves, for instance, through forums such as the longstanding Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CONGO), or newer ones such as the mainly Internet-based Stakeholder Forum for a Sustainable Future. Assistance would have to be provided to groups from the global South to enable them to participate in the meetings. In the new SDC, the consultation processes would need to be improved in order for them to be considered relevant and effective by the Major Groups. A particularly far-reaching model aims (in line with the International Labour Organization) at equal voting rights for civil society. This demand would have little prospect of success The Major Groups could nevertheless be given the opportunity, for instance, through an additional third chamber of the SDC, to submit proposals on the wording of recommendations and to comment directly on the existing drafts. The basis for such participation so closely linked to the negotiation process would be better access rights to relevant information. Following the model of the Aarhus Convention, access to review procedures could ensue, which then apply if access to information has wrongfully been refused. Following a meeting in Bonn at the beginning of September 2011, organized by the UN Department of Public Information (DPI) in cooperation with NGOs, the civil society side demanded the appointment of a high-level Ombudsperson for Future Generations. This person would advocate for sustainable development in general, as well as investigating complaints received from civil society. In addition to the formal involvement of a necessarily limited number of civil society representatives, the SDC should create informal forums so as to be able to regularly put its work up for discussion before a wider public. Improving Partnership Management After the Johannesburg Conference in 2002, partnerships with industry and civil society should assist the United Nations in implementing the hitherto agreed objectives concerning sustainable development more quickly. Within the framework of such partnerships, knowledge of sustainable production processes could be disseminated, voluntary standards and certification tools developed, or independent projects financed and implemented. Similarly, for Rio 2012 plans are already in place to establish new green economy partnerships. It is not a case of reinventing the wheel? what is crucial is to learn from past experiences. There are currently 348 partnerships of this type registered with the CSD. Politically, they have been controversial from the outset. While some expected them to generate an innovative and effective impetus, others feared a profit-oriented privatization of public services or the greenwashing of private sector business activities. What has been missing so far is a sobering appraisal of the results achieved by these initiatives. The CSD only registers the partnerships without being in any way involved in or evaluating their activities. Critical observers estimate that over half of the partnerships are dysfunctional. The Rio Conference offers an opportunity for improvement here. In order to make partnerships an effective instrument, the new SDC should manage and monitor them from the very beginning. It would be useful to have clearly defined and transparent (sustainability) criteria for selecting the initiatives that the UN would like to (continue to) support. The partnerships would then be evaluated according to these criteria. The SDC should ask the initiatives to submit a report of activities based on these criteria at least biannually, referring to existing evaluation reports where applicable. The activity reports would then be published on the SDC?s website equipped with a comment function. Civil society would thus be able to exercise its monitoring role in a highly visible manner. An evaluation system of this type would make it possible to identify which partnerships are actually effective and which are unproductive. Negatively evaluated initiatives would first be contacted and then excluded if they do not respond appropriately. The insights gained from the evaluation could then also feed into future initiatives. This would have the desired effect of scaling up successful models. Further Developing Peer Reviews In order to enable the objectives and agreements on sustainable development to be implemented more reliably in the future, innovative accountability tools are required. On the one hand, these must be effective and, on the other hand, accepted by states that have remained skeptical to date. A voluntary peer review mechanism could drive forward implementation of sustainability policies. Peer reviews are based on constructive learning processes that make it possible to both provide quality assurance and raise awareness. They are conducted by external expert peer reviewers, who are just as familiar with the matter as those whose work is being evaluated. Ideally, peer reviews should have a mediating role. They should be kept less formal and take into consideration the diversity of the problems arising upon their implementation. Peer reviews can and are intended not to force implementation but at best advance it. Final, legally binding assessments or sanctions imposed at a higher level are not an integral part of the procedure. Peer reviews are still a relatively new instrument in politics. A distinction should be drawn between expert and stakeholder reviews. The former are periodically conducted by representatives of political and administrative bodies. These include, for instance, the high-level UN Annual Ministerial Review (AMR) of development policy objectives and achievements that is conducted during the annual sessions of ECOSOC. Conversely, peers from relevant social groups are involved in the stakeholder variant. Thus, since 2006, the UN Human Rights Council has executed the innovative stakeholder peer review process of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR). The situation of human rights in all UN Member States is evaluated at four-year intervals. The UPR of the Human Rights Council not only distinguishes itself through its universal character. It is also still unique in that NGOs can play an active part by contributing to the report and participating in the meetings of the UPR Working Groups. Such a peer review mechanism with a wide range of opportunities for participation by civil society could also assist an SDC in advancing implementation of national and regional sustainability policies. To avoid putting on a show, these processes should not necessarily be based in New York. Representatives of all nine Major Groups recognized by the CSD should be invited, as well as peers from the southern countries. Broad participation of this type would also serve to disseminate the results of the reviews as widely as possible. The high expectations associated therewith could then in turn promote the swift implementation of the recommendations. Financing and Capacity Building Finally, the Sustainable Development Council should have its own financial resources in order to be able to iron out weaknesses of multilateral development cooperation in a targeted manner. Insufficient funding still presents a serious obstacle to development cooperation. Consequently, if the UN sustainability institutions are to be strengthened, significantly more financial resources must be made available. This is the only way to guarantee that the UN organizations fulfill their mandates and drive forward sustainable development through activities ranging from the global to local level. In the face of tight budgets in industrialized countries, new sources of revenue are urgently required to enable the necessary transfers to be made. A tax on financial transactions, for instance, would allow considerable resources to be acquired in a relatively short time?this option is being discussed more and more seriously. Market-based financial instruments such as payments for ecosystem services (PES) will also be on the agenda of Rio 2012. What should be avoided is establishing a new fund and essentially supplementing the numerous existing funds by yet another underfinanced one. An ambitious solution would be to interlink the Global Environment Facility with the SDC. At the same time its presently available funding, about one billion US dollars per annum, must be increased significantly. This would allow the facility to continue its present activities, while at the same time also breaking new ground, primarily with regard to technology transfer and the necessary capacity building. Thus, developing countries would be able to follow ?green? development paths without having to take the resourceintensive and emission-heavy industrialization route. Colombia has proposed supplementing the Millennium Development Goals with Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Should this meet with approval in Rio, the SDC could accompany and monitor the operational implementation of the new goals in the medium term. Countdown to Rio 2012 The deadline for submitting proposals to the UNCSD Secretariat for the Zero Draft of the Rio outcome document is November 1, 2011. This means that the opportunities to make an impact continuously dwindle. Consequently, specific proposals for a target-oriented and ambitious restructuring of the UN sustainability institutions should be developed now. The first two meetings of the Preparatory Commission for the UNCSD were disap- pointing in this respect. It was not until the above-mentioned meeting in Solo in July 2011?less than a year before Rio 2012?that the debate became more lively and creative. The remaining months should be used to develop specific proposals, to gain support for these, and then to introduce them into the official preparatory process. The objective of the Rio outcome document should be to recommend that the UN General Assembly adopts a resolution approving the establishment of an SDC and, at the same time, calling upon the ECOSOC to dissolve the CSD. It would make Politik good strategic sense for Brazil as conference host to introduce this proposal. This would also be a logical step because the SDC is compatible with Brazil?s original plan for Rio 2012 of founding an umbrella organization for environment and development. Germany and the EU should support the creation of a new Council. This would send a message to developing countries that the environmental pillar of the United Nations but also push for forcefully enhancing the institutional framework for sustainable development.

Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) Albany Law School has always been committed to making rewarding public interest careers more viable to its graduates. To further that commitment, the Loan Repayment Assistance Program (LRAP) was launched in December 2004. This program is designed to help alleviate the financial burden of educational loan repayment upon students who wish to pursue careers in public interest law, as well as city, county and state attorney's offices, and agencies operated by a city, county or state.
The LRAP allows graduates from the Class of 2013 or later to apply for forgivable loans of up to $10,000 per year for a maximum of three years.
The full program description and application are available below. Applications will be accepted from Jan. 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016.
Questions should be directed to Andrea Wedler, Director of Financial Aid, via e-mail or at 518-445-2357.

College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007This Act established a new public service loan forgiveness program. This program discharges any remaining debt after 10 years of full-time employment in public service. The borrower must have made 120 payments as part of the Direct Loan program in order to obtain this benefit. Only payments made on or after October 1, 2007, count toward the required 120 monthly payments. (Borrowers may consolidate into Direct Lending in order to qualify for this loan forgiveness program starting July 1, 2008.)
Public Service Loan Forgiveness(This text was provided by and additional information can be found at www.ibrinfo.org) Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a new program for federal student loan borrowers who work in certain kinds of jobs. It will forgive remaining debt after 10 years of eligible employment and qualifying loan payments. (During those 10 years, the Income-Based Repayment (IBR) plan can help keep your loan payments affordable.)
Who can get Public Service Loan Forgiveness? This program is for people with federal student loans who work in a wide range of "public service" jobs, including jobs in government and nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations. What are eligible jobs?
In most cases, eligibility is based on whether you work for an eligible employer. Your job is eligible if you:
If you don't meet these criteria, you may still be eligible in certain circumstances. The Department of Education's draft regulations create a two-part test:
Please note that these definitions of eligible jobs reflect the outcome of negotiations concluded in April 2008, but they may be revised before the Department of Education finalizes its rules for Public Service Loan Forgiveness by November 1, 2008.
What kinds of loans does it cover? It covers federal Stafford, Grad PLUS, or consolidation loans as long as they are in the Direct Loan program. Borrowers with loans in the Guaranteed (or FFEL) loan program must switch to the Direct Loan program to get this benefit.
When does the 10-year clock start, and which payments count?Only payments made after October 1, 2007, count towards the 10 years (120 monthly payments, not necessarily consecutive) required for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Qualifying payments must be made through the Direct Loan program and include Income Contingent Repayment, Standard (10-year) Repayment, or Income-Based Repayment (available in July 2009).
To count, these payments must be made while you're working full-time in an eligible job. "Full-time," according to the latest information from the Department of Education, means an average of 30 hours per week or the standard for full-time used by the employer, whichever is greater. In professions such as teaching, annual contracts that include at least eight months of full-time work will be treated as the equivalent of a full year's employment. If you meet all the criteria, the earliest your remaining debt could be forgiven is October 2017.
What if I've already paid off my loans by then? This loan forgiveness program will only benefit people who still owe money on their federal loans after 10 years of eligible payments and employment. If your income is low relative to your debt, and you qualify for reduced payments under IBR (or Income Contingent Repayment) at any time during those 10 years, you will likely have debt left to forgive.
Income-Based Repayment (IBR)
Income-Based Repayment (IBR) is a new payment option for federal student loans. It can help borrowers keep their loan payments affordable with payment caps based on their income and family size. For most eligible borrowers, IBR loan payments will be less than 10 percent of their income - and even smaller for borrowers with low earnings. IBR will also forgive remaining debt, if any, after 25 years of qualifying payments.
Who can use IBR? IBR is available to federal student loan borrowers in both the Direct and Guaranteed (or FFEL) loan programs, and covers most types of federal loans made to students, but not those made to parents (click here for more about qualifying loans). To enter IBR, you have to have enough debt relative to your income to qualify for a reduced payment. That means it would take more than 15 percent of whatever you earn above 150% of poverty level to pay off your loans on a standard 10-year payment plan. Use our calculator to see if you're likely to be eligible.
How does IBR make payments more affordable? IBR uses a kind of sliding scale to determine how much you can afford to pay on your federal loans. If you earn below 150% of the poverty level for your family size, your required loan payment will be $0. If you earn more, your loan payment will be capped at 15 percent of whatever you earn above that amount. Except for the highest earners, that usually works out to less than 10 percent of your total income.
What about interest?In some situations, your reduced payment under IBR may not cover the interest on your loans. If so, the government will pay that interest on your Subsidized Stafford Loans for your first three years in IBR. After three years and for other loan types, the interest will be added to the total amount you owe. While your debt may grow if your affordable payments are low enough, anything you still owe after 25 years of qualifying payments will be forgiven.
What are qualifying payments? The Department of Education has indicated that the following types of payments will count towards IBR's 25-year forgiveness period, as long as you are in IBR at some point during those 25 years.
