Despite its name, Fonzi's Synergy Fitness isn't a place where members learn to ride motorcycles while keeping their slicked-back coiffures in place. It's a locally owned gym helmed by Jim Fonzi and Denice Normandy-Fonzi, who cultivate a welcoming feel inside the fitness haven. High-quality workout equipment, such as the BodyMasters System—a 30-minute circuit workout similar to Curves, as well as free weights fill the space, and a fitness room hosts an array of heart-pumping, calorie-burning classes.
Sometimes our dreams are within reach, but more often, those dreams are on the highest of high shelves, beside the BB gun and the cupcakes "for tomorrow." Reach that shelf with today's Groupon, which will stretch your muscles and muscle your stretches into a month-long stretch of intense muscular moves. For $30, you get 30 days of unlimited group yoga classes at Yoga on the Square in Regent Square, a $99 value. The 30 days are consecutive and begin the first time you drop in for a class.
Alpha Fitness Club shepherds exercisers of all stripes toward their desired level of svelteness with a fleet of Star Trac fitness equipment and engaging group fitness classes. Ellipticals, treadmills, and bicycles give exercisers the strength to knock stubborn calories off their bodies, and resistance machinery and free weights convince muscles to come out of their hiding places. Furthering fitness pursuits, Alpha Fitness Club's trainer, Frank—who hails from a decorated career as a Marine, a bodybuilder, and a power-lifter—tailors his one-on-one sessions to help customers to lose weight, gain muscle, and maintain mint-condition sweatbands. Exercise classes include Zumba, spinning, Pilates, and step; the club's schedule inspires exercisers to power through with a dose of fitness camaraderie.
Maria Lagana and her crew of certified fitness instructors inspires parents and children alike in fun, high-energy classes. One-hour sessions of Pilates, yoga, and Cardio Kick blend with express half-hour sessions of Zumba and Toning Express exercises to create a personalized potpourri of fitness that should be in no way literally used as a household aroma. Zumbatomic classes are open to children flying solo or backed by their guardians, and incorporate healthful-living philosophies with Zumba's animated Latin-dance workouts. In one-hour birthday party, up to 25 high-kicking kids can learn some basic Zumba shimmies, with plenty of time remaining for creative crafts, cake, presents, and round-table discourses on phenomenology.
The YMCA Adventure Warrior Race gives kids and adults a chance to prove themselves against ropes courses, mud, water obstacles, and other unexpected mental and physical challenges—all while supporting a good cause. Amid the breathtaking views and tranquil waters of Lake Tris, runners maneuver around trees and carry heavy objects up the sometimes snow-covered Laurel Highlands mountains, climbing up to 1,000 feet as they go. Warriors aged 16 and older make a 4-mile circuit, whereas younger participants run age-appropriate distances of a half mile or a full mile. Trophies and the respect of all the woodland creatures are awarded to the top male and female runners, top male and female teams, and top co-ed team. According to the Daily American, funds raised from the race provide camp scholarships that allow kids to attend residential and day programs at the 263-acre YMCA Camp T. Frank Soles.
Emphasizing a fun-loving appreciation of the artform since 1981, The Dance Company for the Performing Arts whisks students through social dance classes that are ideal for beginners. Under the supervision of artistic director Pat McKeown, highly trained instructors cure dance-floor phobias with experienced instruction in social dance. Meeting on Tuesday and Friday evenings, the eight-week class demystifies some of the most enjoyable dance styles known to bipeds and bipedal horses. Within the company's high-ceilinged and convivial facility, the secrets to that most beguiling of dances—the waltz—will be revealed, along with cha-cha, swing, and salsa. At the close of the supportive and noncompetitive eight-week session, participants may well emerge with the skills to impress their friends with a newfound capacity for proficient rug-cutting and clipping perfectly even samples of shag carpet.

Solar Module Warranties
October 16, 2012; Featured in Thoughts on Solar
by Cindy Henry
Typically, solar developers only needed to ask themselves two things about solar modules. First, what's the price? Second, what's the energy output? Now they also need to know what happens when PV modules obtained from an overseas supplier degrade more quickly than expected. What happens when they don't meet performance expectations? What type of warranty is available and what happens if the manufacturer isn't around to respond to a claim?
When a piece of equipment fails we turn to the project documents to try to find the answers and see who is responsible. Typically, project documents include agreements for the design, materials, construction and operations and provide varying degrees of warranties or guarantees.
There are significant differences in express warranties provided by manufacturers of modules and other components.
Manufacturer warranties may also exclude defects caused by failing to properly maintain the product, limit their liability for damages and include disclaimers for implied warranties.
In many cases, parties pass –through the manufacturer warranties to the owner or off taker. A manufacturer's warranty should be reviewed to see if it includes a jurisdiction requiring privity of contract. This means the party seeking to enforce the warranty must have purchased the product direct from the manufacturer.
Most manufacturers will give themselves discretion to determine whether their product is defective. This could translate into a headache if there is a discrepancy between what you believe is a manufacturing flaw and what they determine is normal.
Some warranties are governed by the laws of the country where the product was manufactured. If the manufacturer is located overseas and does not respond or denies a claim, there could be a problem enforcing the warranty in theU.S.
In addition, there may be a concern about the financial strength of the manufacturer. This is an important issue due to the rapidly expanding supplier base. If a manufacturer is no longer in business when a claim arises, is the warranty worthless?
Developers are well advised if they evaluate all warranties and guarantees early in the project development life cycle. All of the above issues should be taken into consideration. What do you think is important in a warranty?

TUESDAY, April 26 (HealthDay News) -- Slowing of the brain's
processing speed as people age is the prime cause of typical
communication problems in older adults, new research indicates.
In the study, University of Kansas researchers compared the
ability of young and older adults to do two things at once: keep a
cursor on a moving target on a computer screen while responding to
questions. Overall, younger adults did better at this
"We didn't find much evidence that working memory or long-term memory play a role in dual-tasking, but we think that processing speed does," psychology professor Susan Kemper, a senior scientist at the Gerontology Center at the university's Life Span Institute, said in a university news release.
"What I think is going on is that you have to rapidly switch your attention from tracking to talking, going back and forth pretty rapidly, and that's where the processing speed really comes in," Kemper said. "Older adults seem to be slower at switching between tasks so their functional ceiling is lower."
The study findings were published recently in both the
Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences and
Psychology and Aging.
Language and communication problems, especially those that occur
during dual-tasking, may be early indicators of the onset of
Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia, Kemper said.
"We know that there are brain markers even for people in their 40s who may be on the verge of developing dementia," Kemper said. "But those are revealed by very expensive tests that are not widely available. So perhaps language and communication might provide early warning signs that might be picked up and also serve as an access point for trying to develop interventions."

The groping allegations dogged Arnold Schwarzenegger during the final days of his 2003 campaign for governor and got Californians talking about sexual harassment.
Sarah Reyes thought there ought to be a law.
So she introduced Assembly Bill 1825. It requires that employers with 50 or more workers provide at least two hours of sexual harassment prevention training every other year to all supervisors. The Legislature passed it in August 2004, Schwarzenegger signed it, and it took effect Jan. 1, 2005.
But is it working?
The short answer is no one really knows. The long answer is that the figures available raise doubts whether AB 1825 is achieving supporters' goals. While there are laws far more sweeping than this, it's another lesson for legislators who are confident they can pass a law to solve a problem.
Reyes wanted to prevent sexual harassment on the job. Yet, the number of workplace cases filed with the state has increased by more than 8 percent from 3,544 in 2004-05 (the law took effect in the middle of that fiscal year) to 3,832 in 2010-11.
If supervisors are getting more and better training, and if they're sometimes the culprits, wouldn't you expect the number of cases to decrease?
Not necessarily, says Reyes.
She hasn't kept track of the law since leaving the Legislature in 2004, but says the increase could be because the training has heightened awareness of sexual harassment. Supervisors might be more "sensitive" to employees who want to file grievances, she adds.
Reyes told me that it's conceivable that complaints will never decrease because new people, who aren't as sensitive to sexual harassment, continually enter the workforce.
Come on. How, then, would you ever judge if the law is working?
Another factor could be in play. The rise in cases has stabilized since the recession hit. In good economic times, employees who are being harassed may be more likely to file a complaint, knowing they can find another job if necessary. But when times are tough, job-hopping is more difficult, so workers are less willing to complain and rock the boat.
Or so goes the theory floated by the state Department of Fair Employment and Housing, which handles sexual harassment cases.
The bottom line, however, is that the department has no idea whether AB 1825 is meeting its goals. It does not keep track of the training, and it only checks on a company's compliance after it gets a complaint from an employee there.
The agency hasn't been asked to assess the law's impact by the Legislature or anyone else, says Annmarie Billotti, its chief deputy director. Even if it were, limited staff and an antiquated data system would make such an analysis very difficult.
Law doesn't shield employers
While many employers have voluntarily provided training for years, the California Chamber of Commerce opposed the mandates in AB 1825. It objected to the time and expense of "one-size-fits-all" training on small businesses. It also criticized a provision that specified that following the law wouldn't necessarily shield an employer from lawsuits.
"California employers already struggle to comply with the nation's most strict and stringent employment laws, and face huge liability when they fail to do so," the chamber's lobbyist warned Assembly members in 2004 just before they gave final approval.
Now, the chamber is trying to help members meet the law's requirements and sort through all the courses being offered by a training consultant industry that has "expanded considerably" under the law. In-person classes cost about $85 to $100 per trainee, while online classes average $32 to $40 per employee.
That looks like the law's clearest impact more money for training companies. It just goes to show that while business leaders complain all the time that regulations kill jobs, the reality is that they can create some as well.
As one of the biggest companies in the e-training business, ELT launched the fourth edition of its online sexual harassment training in January. It puts more emphasis on social media and on men harassing other men. The privately held San Francisco company won't release revenue figures or say how many California workers it has trained under AB 1825, but says 5 million workers across the country have taken its courses, which also include ethics and diversity training.
It doesn't talk about a success rate for its sexual harassment training. Most companies don't want to publicize improvements because that suggests how bad problems were before the training, says Ken Robinson, ELT's vice president for marketing.
The courses ask a series of questions on what is or isn't sexual harassment and how to handle it. Most of it is common sense, or at least it should be. So it makes you wonder how much time thousands and thousands of supervisors are spending on this, and how productive that is.
One other definite result of AB 1825 is that it added another section (12950.1) to the California Government Code.
In a high-profile announcement in February, state Senate leaders stood behind stacks of code books 28,000 pages in all to introduce Senate Bill 366. The goal: To weed out duplicative, inconsistent or outdated regulations that have no real benefit to consumers, public safety or health or to environmental protection. Regulatory reform is a hot topic because of concerns about California's anti-business reputation and because the state's 12 percent unemployment rate is well above the national average.
Yet, once the fanfare died down and the measure entered the legislative meat grinder, a Capitol maxim was proved once again: Legislators pass laws and move on. They don't go back, unless a law badly needs fixing or a vested interest wants one tweaked in its favor.
A step on regulatory reform
SB 366 never even got a committee hearing. Instead, the Legislature quietly passed SB 617. It calls for more thorough review of the costs and benefits of major regulations but only of ones proposed on or after Nov. 1, 2013. Before then, the state Finance Department has to come up with you guessed it regulations to guide agencies on how to conduct those studies.
The bill backed by the chamber, given final approval on the last day of the session and expected to be signed by Gov. Jerry Brown doesn't come anywhere close to the "top-to-bottom" review of regulations that some legislators promised.
It is a small step in the right direction. Legislators and the public would have a better idea of the impact on jobs and businesses of major regulations those with an estimated economic impact exceeding $50 million. Instead of relying on biased numbers from special interests, lawmakers would have more independent figures from state agencies.
One requirement is to see if there's a simpler, cheaper way to accomplish the same goal. Another is to check if a proposed regulation would duplicate or conflict with an existing one, so it's possible that current rules could be affected.
Still, you have to ask: How many unnecessary regulations will escape scrutiny and stay on the books?
You'd hope the Legislature would at least check if existing laws and any regulations spawned to implement them are working before passing a bunch of new ones. Or how about this: All major laws should come with an automatic sunset clause, forcing a review of them after, say 10 years, if they are to remain in effect.
And when it's often difficult to predict a law's impact, legislators should think twice before carrying any bill. Is it absolutely necessary? Is it an issue serious enough to merit their attention? Will it definitely not make the situation worse?
I don't blame the governor one bit for complaining about a "legislative machine, which is running out of control," or for being exasperated by the 600-odd bills the Legislature piled on his desk.
While he is signing some of them, 25 on Friday alone, he is occassionally attaching snarky messages. He noted that SB 769, an "urgency" measure that will allow a mountain lion to be stuffed and displayed at a Kern County museum, won overwhelming bipartisan support. "If only," he lamented, "that same energetic bipartisan spirit could be applied to creating clean energy jobs and ending tax laws that send jobs out of state."
Amen to that.

Whole prime number
View Single Post

Quote by
I think you just did that -- mathematicians would use the term "axiom schema", that is, each number is its own axiom:
Axiom 1: 1 is a natural number.
Axiom 2: 2 is a natural number.
. . .
OK, so now you have a system where you cannot add or take the successor, but you have the natural numbers. ....
Finally I had one last important thought. Given the system described where you have the natural numbers but you can not add or take the successor, we should be able to map the system to the system where by you can build the natural numbers. If such a mapping is "formalized" then the problem appears. On the one hand you have a system where "prime" is not defined and on the other hand you have a system where "prime" can be defined. They are mapped to each other and so now is there a paradox?
I am thinking about the utility of mapping similar to what is used by Godel in his famous proof.
Again for clarity: we defined a "counting" style, infinite statement axiomatic system which you have no notion of multiplication nor successor function (as in the above posts). We have another system like Peano. Both systems produce something that lies on the same place on the number line. We use mapping to link the two systems through the "number line." Now, despite the mapping (if it is possible), you can not impose the notion of prime on the simpler system. Hence, the notion of "prime" is directly related to the mechanisms of addition/multiplication or other operations.... NOT the actually position on the number line thing.

Dermalogical dramas
Her husband, Sir Galumph, looked up at the exhalation and, ruffling the pages of his broadsheet, inquired "Why, whatever is the matter, my dear?"
"Oh, it's nothing really - just these blasted pimples on my chin. They do hurt one so!"
"How, at the ripe old age of 30, do you come to be having pimples, my love?", inquired Sir Galumph. He carefully put down his paper, and strolled over to have a closer look. "My God!", he cried as he recoiled in horror. "You dare call these pimples? My girl, you have a veritable pimple goatee! Please explain immediatley how such a thing has come about!"
Blushing, Lady Jorth tried to cover her face with her hands. "Well, it was that business with the hairs!", she cried. "I glanced in the glass the other morning, and realised that I was growing an absolute beard, so I thought to myself that something had to be done, and rushed off to the beauty salon for a wax."
"A beard!" murmured Sir Galumph in tones mixing disbelief with detestation.
Glancing up at his tone, Lady Jorth was struck anew with the abhorrance her new look was causing those around her. She glanced over at Jeeves, who resolutely kept his eyes to the ground. Falteringly, she went on. "And now it appears that I've had some sort of reaction, resulting in the formation of - what did you call it?"
"A pimple goatee", groaned Sir Galumph.
"Yes! A pimple goatee! And to think that we have the garden party on Sunday. I can never face the world in this state!". Wildly she rushed from the room, tears coursing down the valleys and hills of her now acne-scarred face, knitting left behind and forgotten.
"Jeeves!", bellowed Sir Galumph. "Get me a whiskey - a strong one!"

Arizona Cardinals
New Cardinals QB Hoyer learning as fast as he can
When the Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback Brian Hoyer off of waivers Monday, they did so because they anticipated placing Kevin Kolb on injured reserve later in the week.
A fourth-year pro out of Michigan State, Hoyer has played in 13 NFL games -- all with the New England Patriots -- completing 27-of-43 passes for 286 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
The Cardinals were looking for depth -- and maybe another option -- at the position. Hoyer, who was most recently with the Pittsburgh Steelers, is just glad to get a chance.
"For me, I'm just trying to learn as much as I can as quickly as I can," Hoyer said of his goal going forward.
The 27-year-old said his time with the Steelers will help, as their offensive coordinator, Todd Haley, once held the same position in Arizona.
"I was only there for three weeks," he cautioned. "I was just starting to pick that stuff up."
As for playing, Hoyer said that decision is up to the coaches and he's not going to worry about it. That said, he would of course like to get a chance.
"Anyone wants to play," he said, adding he really never got a chance to play when he was in New England. "As a competitor you want to be on the field, so whatever opportunity is presented to me I want to make sure I'm as ready as I can be."

Obama's rhetoric, American realities
'Bill Clinton: Obama's White Half Won Maine," read the headline on the humor site Scrappleface this week. "Obama gets to play both sides of the race card," a fictional Bill Clinton told the site. "I told you he won South Carolina because he's black, like Jesse Jackson. So, to be consistent, I'd have to say he won Maine because he's white like Michael Dukakis."

City leaders say an end is in sight for Phase Two of the Westside Diversion Tunnel project. There are three phases in total. The second one should be complete by spring 2013. But neighbors impacted by construction say it's not soon enough --
"It's been a long time and it is a big inconvenience," said Shirley Lemon, who has lived on Wilkes Ave. In Davenport for five years.
Miles and miles of residential Davenport neighborhoods have been caged off for more than a year. Steel pipes keeping cars off the streets and fences keeping neighbors inside their homes.
"The newspaper delivery wouldn't walk up the street and deliver the paper so they put boxes out in the alley," said Lemon.
The neighborhood streets are deserted -- except for the people who can't avoid the area. Just like traffic, mail carriers have to detour around the construction.
"Where I would normally cross the street, now I have to walk around the fencing," said Davenport mail carrier, Ben Reed. "Sometimes going a couple of blocks down the road to where I can get back to the other side of the street." Some days Reed wishes he worked a different route. But knowing there's an end in sight helps him get through the heavy lifting.
"It's been a year now, it's been a long year, so I just hope that it gets done soon," he said.
But some neighbors have chosen to make light of the heavy machinery blocking them in.
"I brought them donuts. I think they need that little extra reassurance," said neighbor Rich Ewoldt of the construction crew. Ewoldt isn't fond of the construction itself, but he's making the best of a bad situation. Even making friends.
"I understand they have to get the job done and make things better for us."
Phase Two of the Westside Diversion Tunnel project will cost $22 million dollars. Phase 3 will begin in the spring of 2013.

Buffy Rewatch: Amends
I'll give you three guesses as to the theme of this episode. But you'll probably only need one. That's right. The theme of this episode is forgiveness and making amends.
It's actually wonderfully done and not too hard hitting. Mainly it's about Angel trying to atone for his transgression both recent and historic. He's lead to believe (by The First!) that he's only a monster and that's all he'll ever be.
But Angel isn't the only one making amends in the episode. Xander, Willow, and to some extent even Faith are trying to atone for one thing or another. Xander wants to make it up to Buffy because he was such an ass about the whole Angel thing. Willow wants to make amends with Oz because of the Xander thing. And Faith? She's just looking to come back into the fold because she was dismissive and angry after The Gwendolyn Post Incident.
All's forgiven. Must be that Hanukkah Spirit.
Stray Observations:
- Angel in the 1800's has the dirtiest 'stache in history.
- "Tree. Nog. Roast Beast."
- Willow would like everyone not to forget that she's still Jewish.
- Willow's attempt to be sexy for Oz? Not so much.
- Angel or star on the top of the tree is a discussion that was had in my house for many years. We alternated until we got a tree too tall for either.
- "Why don't you come in from the entire lack of cold."
- "Strong is fighting. It's hard and it's painful and it's every day."

I have the answer to all the problems with the lfg interface. It should allow players to set up a profile for themselves. Even something as simple as a series of check boxes where a druid could check "DPS preferred", "Off spec healer", so the system could more intelligently match up groups. That way a dps warrior or a holy paladin won't ever get flagged as a tank if they don't want to tank. Brilliant if I do say so myself!

Looks like the CIA HAS HAD SOMEONE knock a crack in their wall of secrecy. A supposed leaked document has surfaced that claims that there were MEDICS present during interrogations. I wonder where this is headed in the coming days , weeks and months.
CIA medics joined in Guantánamo torture sessions, says Red Cross
Leaked ICRC report claims medical staff monitored terror suspects during waterboarding
Medical personnel committed a "gross breach of medical ethics" by taking part in torture in Guantánamo, a leaked International Committee of the Red Cross document has revealed.
The 40-page confidential report, written in 2007, describes how medical staff working for the CIA monitored prisoners' vital signs to make sure they did not drown while being subjected to waterboarding, during which water is poured over a cloth placed over a person's nose and mouth.
Medical personnel were also said to be present when prisoners were shackled in a "stress standing position". The detainees were "monitored by health personnel who in some instances recommended stopping the method of ill-treatment, or recommended its continuation, but with adjustments", according to the report.
The Red Cross concluded: "The alleged participation of health personnel in the interrogation process and, either directly or indirectly, in the infliction of ill-treatment constituted a gross breach of medical ethics and, in some cases, amounted to participation in torture and/or cruel inhuman or degrading treatment."
As well as the monitoring of specific methods of ill-treatment, the report said, other health personnel were alleged to have directly participated in the interrogation process. One detainee alleged that a health person threatened that medical care would be conditional upon cooperation with interrogation.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-confessed mastermind of the September 11 attacks, alleged to the ICRC that on several occasions the waterboarding was stopped "on the intervention of a health person who was present in the room each time this procedure was used".
Mohammed, who pleaded guilty last year to the September 11 attacks, said he gave a lot of false information during the harshest period of his interrogation.
Besides descriptions of how the men were tortured, the report conveys the impatience and frustration of the Red Cross in trying to extract information from the Bush administration. The Red Cross made its first written interventions to the US authorities in 2002, requesting information on the whereabouts of people allegedly held by the Americans in the context of the fight against terrorism.
"Despite repeated requests at various levels of the US government, the ICRC has not received a response to most of these written interventions," the report said.

Terrace Capital, Inc. Announces- $8MM Non-Recourse Commercial Mortgage- Class A Office - Brooklyn, NY.
NEW YORK, May 28, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The proceeds of this $8MM, 75% loan-to-value mortgage was used by the borrower, 1733 Sheepshead Bay, LLC, for the repayment of existing debt and equity for the development of several new projects in Brooklyn. The non-recourse, mortgage had a 10 year fixed term and a 30 year amortization schedule. The project sponsors look forward to continuing their notable track record of developing Class A multifamily and office properties in Brooklyn.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130528/CG21344)
The project, a Class A, 30,000 s.f. office complex, is located along Sheepshead Bay road in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, NY. The current configuration of the building improvements results from the redevelopment of an obsolete building, which was originally constructed in 1927 and subsequently re-developed in 2011 as a five story, mixed use property with ground floor retail and four stories of professional office space above.
According to a senior underwriter at Terrace Capital, this deal required a unique understanding of the Brooklyn office market, which many lenders were either unwilling or unable to get their arms around. Given the lack of Class A space in the market, the property commands rents in the $35-45/sf range, which translates to a market value north of $400/sf, often a number that makes many lenders uncomfortable in the outer boroughs of New York City. In addition, the city provided the borrower with 15 year real estate tax abatement, via the Industrial & Commercial Abatement Program (ICAP), which further complicated the structuring of the deal.
Intimate knowledge of the New York commercial real estate markets, allows Terrace Capital to tailor capital solutions for developers and investors, where many institutions are unable.
Terrace Capital targets non-recourse senior/subordinate debt and preferred equity with investments starting at $5MM on income producing retail, office, industrial, multifamily, mixed use, self-storage and hospitality properties located throughout the continental United States.

Best-kept secret in student loans
Student debt has ballooned in recent years. But a federal program can cut loan repayments to as low as zero without triggering default.
Are you scraping by, just barely able to make your student loan payments? Or maybe you're making the payments, but you're worried you'll stay in debt forever?
Don't overlook one of the best repayment options out there. Lauren Asher, an expert on student loans and the president of the Institute for College Access & Success, an independent nonprofit organization that works to make higher education more affordable for people of all backgrounds, calls it the "best kept secret" in the student loan world.
Maybe it's not a total secret, but many eligible borrowers aren't taking advantage of the Income-Based Repayment Plan, so it deserves all the attention it can get.
I recently interviewed Asher on my radio show, "Talk Credit Radio." Here is an edited excerpt from that interview:
Detweiler: Can we start off by discussing the trends in student loan debt?
Asher: Student loan debt is touching more and more people's lives every year. A generation ago, less than half of people who graduated from four-year colleges had student loans. Now it's at least two-thirds. And for the class of 2010, which is the most recent data we have, the average debt for those borrowers was more than $25,000.
Detweiler: What about default and repayment rates? Are people having trouble paying back their student loans?
Asher: Default rates have gone up recently, although they've come down from a high a couple of decades ago. They do sometimes reflect changes in the economy. Certainly it's harder to pay off your student loans when it's harder to find good-paying jobs. But what's important to know is not just how much you owe, but what kinds of loans you have that can really affect your options for repayment.
If you have federal student loans, there are actually a lot of good ways to keep those payments under control even in tough times. But you need to know what those options are and how they work before you get into real trouble. One of those options is the Income-Based Repayment program.
Detweiler: Tell us about the IBR program and the benefits.
Asher: Income-Based Repayment is the best kept secret in this whole student loan debate. It has been around since July 2009. It's available to students with federal loans. So that includes Stafford Loans and Grad Plus as well as Federal Direct Consolidation Loans.
If you have direct loans or what used to be called "guaranteed" or "federal family education program" loans, whether you have had them for many years or just finished school, you can qualify for IBR if you're earning relatively little compared with what you owe.
A good rule of thumb is, if you owe as much as you earn in a year, you probably qualify. But, there's a calculator on our site -- IBRinfo -- and also a link to the (education) department site and their calculator to help them figure it out. So the nice thing is that, once you qualify, your payment each year is adjusted based on your earnings and family size.
If you earn less than 150% of the poverty line for your family size, your required payment is zero. You remain in good standing, you're not delinquent, you're not in default. And those payments -- even if they're as low as zero -- count toward either 25 years of forgiveness, meaning after you've made affordable payments for 25 years in IBR, if you still owe anything it's forgiven. Or if you work for a public or nonprofit employer and you had a direct loan, you could get forgiveness in as soon as 10 years in IBR.
IBR provides two things. One, it provides you the assurance that your payment will be fair and manageable based on what you actually earn. The other thing it does is give you a light at the end of the tunnel. Repayments will not go on forever.
Even if you hit a patch where you can't even cover your interest and your IBR payments are very low, eventually if you haven't been able to pay it all off, it will go away and you can move on with saving for retirement, paying for your kid's education and the other things you need to do.
More from Credit.com:
I've done 10 years of college. 5 years to get my undergraduate degree, 5 years to get a Master's degree.
I've worked at least 1 job throughout my entire college career, paid on loans as I could afford even before I was in repayment, and entered repayment with a $42,000 student loan balance. Not bad, considering that I probably incurred close to $100,000 of costs to spend 10 years in college. Some of it was offset by small reimbursements I got from work, but most of it was paid out of my own pocket, and I understand that the debt is mine until it's paid off. I'm not asking for handouts, and unless I am unfortunate enough to become unemployed, I'll be able to keep making the payments, along with my mortgage.
But here's what really bothers me...I have to pay 6.8 percent interest on these loans, when I was able to go out and get a 30 year fixed mortgage loan for 3.75%. Our federal government (which funds these loans and collects the interest) is sitting on their hands, and doesn't give a crap about people like me. I'm middle class, I live within my means, but because of the fact that I worked to put myself through college, my income was never low enough to qualify for the ultra-low interest rates.
So here I sit, paying less interest on a $200,000 mortgage than I'm paying on $40,000 in student loan debt. Not exactly fair, in my book. For a nation that wants to educate students, and wants kids to go on to college, this is a problem that really needs to be looked at.
I came from a very dirt poor background but was able to go to college with student loans. I did the smart thing at least, went to community college the first 2 years then transferred to a 4 year University for the rest, only racked up about 25k total in debt. I'm now making $50k a year which is something I definitely could not have made had I not gone to college, $25k is a small price to pay to start off this good in life, and it only gets better.
My advice is take out student loans if you need them, but realize that it is money you will have to pay back so only go to instate schools and try community college first. Community college is also a great way to get acceptance into better schools.
I went to a very reasonable in-state university and ended up with about $30k in student loans. I had to work my way through college working part time during the school year and during the summers working full time and never was able to go do much during spring break or christmas break because of the job I had, but I did manage to have just as much fun during the school year as anyone else i knew, because the group I ran around with were just like me, they came from working class families that would help them out every now and then but they weren't fortunate enough to have their parents pay for school, so taking out student loans was the only way to go to be able to get a degree and better our lives. People ripping on the ones that have to take out student loans are so full of it and themselves it seems that they have lost touch with reality.
Personal Finance should be required in high school for all students. It will affect every student eventually - even if they win the lottery.
A start might be to have universities require it at some point before they can graduate. Maybe a like a freshmen orientation class - only this would be orientation to how the world works. Include things like how saving, IRAs, 401ks, car loans, mortgages, personal loans, credit/debit cards, banks, credit unions and a whole host of things work.
Things WE ALL learned the hard way.
Why do you have to take two years of "General Education" courses in college anyway? Isn't that what High School is for?
Why can't you just choose a course of study and then take the classes that are required for that chosen dissapline? It would cut the time spent in colledge by two years and effectively lower the cost of a bachalors degree by 50%.
I went to college hoping have a career and be able to afford the finer things in life. Unfortunately, due to the economy, the industry that I intended to forge my career in ended up overseas (about 17 years ago). I've tried turning my experience and education other directions only to be let down by employers that have no loyalty to the workforce. My wife has become disabled and cannot work further reduce the take home pay for my family.
I want to pay my student loan, I accept my responsibility but when you are stuck making $10.00/hr as a contract employee with no benefits, it's hard to pay those extra bills and get medical for my wife, kids, and electricity and rent, oh yeah food on the table.
Not everyone out here feels "entitled." I could give two s**ts for the "Occupy" mob mentality. I just want to come to the end of my life debt free, fulfilled in the knowledge I made a career and had a purpose. But that's not probably not going to happen. So thank you to all of you out there who have no clue, haven't taken the time to walk a mile in someone else's shoes and assume we are just lazy, welfare, scabs out for a free lunch. I know there's no such thing, I live it everyday.
One of my professors at Michigan State was making $150,000 a year as the head of the dept and she was the professor of 1 class per semester. She tried telling me Auto workers were overpaid because it is unskilled labor. Then I asked her what she felt about her $150k a year salary for teaching 1 class per semester because thats unskilled labor as well. She had no answer.
Professors wages are whats making college costs skyrocket.
Actually, if the Anthropology major goes into market research or works at some NGOs, that $100k will be paid back without a problem. The biggest problems with paying back loans right now have less to do with the major you get and more to do with your chosen career path. Academia is not the place for a large paycheck, and many students don't realize that until it's too late.
That being said, there are some majors that do not teach skill sets appropriate for use outside of academia. Before deciding on a major, students should have a basic understanding of what the job market is like for the skill set they're learning.
I notice in all of these comments, that no one is asking the obvious question: Why has the process of obtaining a higher education far outpaced inflation, or any other type of economic indicator for that matter? Many of the universities have millions and even billions sitting in the bank or invested.
It seems to me, the best investment they could provide college graduates is to not have an albatross of severe debt dragging them down after completing their courses and graduating. They charge more because they can. You see, after deriding capitalism and promoting socialism, the faculty is just as greedy as the masses of the "uneducated" workers that want to get ahead. They manage to do this at the expense of the well-being of the students that they have been nurturing for 4, 6, or 8 years by overcharging for everything from parking passes, to cost of books (what a scam), and to the ridiculously high charges of tuition. It amounts to nothing more than government endorsed price fixing and the tax payers are footing yet another bill.
As nice as it sounds, income based repayment is actually going to enslave you to your debt because in most cases interest accumulation will outweigh (in some cases greatly) any monthly payments that are made. It will keep you out of default, but your debt will grow beyond all reason.
Unfortunately, this is another method of financial slavery.

Greenfield WI-Beatrice is one tough dog, after being brutally abused by her previous owner, she has been through a number of surgeries as well as treatments. However, a new cutting edge surgery may be able to help her.
Lying on the table, getting prepared for surgery, Beatrice awaits the next step on a long road.
"It`s just at that stage where it`s not healing well. The granulation tissue is coming in but it just needs that one more step of covering over it," said Beatrice's veterinarian, Dr. Marla Lichtenberger with the Milwaukee Emergency Center for Animals.
After being set on fire and burned over ninety percent of her body in March, the path to recovery has been steady, but slow.
"I was getting a little frustrated with the treatment," said Dr. Lichtenberger.
So, Dr. Lichtenberger and the veterinarian treating Beatrice took a different approach.
"She contacted me, and I said sure. Let me see if I can help," said Dr. John Weigelt. "I've used pig skin once before on an animal before autografting, but I've never used it on a dog."
That changed Monday when he applied pigskin to her burns.
"If the pigskin sticks and covers it and gives her some chance to heal underneath it, that we have a pretty good chance that she`ll heal this wound almost completely," he said.
Dr. Lichtenberger says this is cutting edge and has never been attempted before.
If this is successful, a new path will have been created to possibly help dogs like Beatrice in the future.
"Right now, I am actually, a lot more hopeful than I was two weeks ago," said Dr. Weigelt.

SINGING PITCHY VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnVDem-ggx4 What is "pitchy"?
Can you say "colloquialism"? I suppose it is faster to say "pitchy" than being explicit
and telling a singer on which notes they were sharp or flat and by how many cents. We're not talking about pennies here.
A note, like a dollar, has a hundred cents. You can be as much as 50 cents sharp or flat. Many people will hear 20 cents
either way but fewer will hear 5 or 10 cents off the pitch. How do we "fix" this problem? We first
have to discover why the problem is there. Is the singer not hearing and executing intervals well? Are they not hearing
the accompaniment and do they possibly need melodic or harmonic ear training? Singing is a hearing art. There
is an art to hearing, recognizing and knowing what you have heard, being able to "sing it back" to someone and even
to be able to correctly write down what you have heard.I heard examples of a local teacher's singing on her website
and was saddened to hear that she obviously does NOT know that she is "pitchy". What's worse is she is sometimes
sharp and sometimes flat. Most people will sing off the pitch either consistently flat or consistently sharp. Oftentimes
this is a symptom of a transition problem. When the pitch is sometimes sharp, sometimes flat, it can be a multifactorial
problem and is much harder to correct. It means that melodic intervals are not known and understood at a conceptual level
AND that the basic understanding of how melody relates to accompaniment has never been grasped. Other problems that can contribute
to singing pitchy can be hearing damage or even brain damage. If this singing teacher cannot hear this in herself, then how
is she going to help her students to sing in tune? She was off 20 or more cents in several instances. She has a fairly consistent
tone quality but the intonation is murderous in the recording studio. You can't hide it and engineers usually don't enjoy
spending hours correcting the pitch. I heard an engineer tell a singer, "Come back when you learn to sing in tune."
Believe me, you do NOT want to ever be told that. It's better to have that under control before ever stepping into a recording
studio.Doing professional audio editing and recording engineering can help one to recognize the amount that the
pitch is off. I can certainly say that playing the trombone for decades also hasn't hurt my pitch perception.I
help students with some simple exercises and also some very complex ones. We do this in small increments and by the time
we get to the complicated exercises, they seem pretty easy. The ones who practice dilligently sing extremely well in tune.
Look for some examples coming up soon on this website.There is no substitute for melodic and harmonic ear training.
Singers should be able to sing all types of tetrachords, modes, arpeggiated chords and every possible interval if they ever
expect to work professionally. It is not possible to be too good of a musician, is it? A lack of musicianship and a lack
of concept of style can be real career killers. Nothing can take the place of excellent musicianship and a solid conceptual
understanding of music theory. The best singers whom I have had the pleasure of working with have been those
who are the most "educated" in music theory.

Clinical Trial Registration and News
Clinical Trial Registration and News
We often hear about the dangers of secondhand smoking, but can the same be said for thirdhand smoke? According to a recent study, the toxins found in thirdhand smoke are potent enough to damage DNA considerably.
Thirdhand smoke refers to the stubborn, toxic residue leftover by secondhand smoke. And according to researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, it sticks to nearly all surfaces and isn't easily cleaned away. In fact, researchers report that prior studies have found thirdhand smoke in dust and apartment surfaces over two months after smokers have vacated a living space.
"This is the very first study to report that thirdhand smoke is mutagenic," said lead investigator and biochemist Bo Hang. "We also found that chronic thirdhand samples lead to higher levels of DNA damage than acute samples, suggesting that the effect of thirdhand smoke is cumulative and could become more toxic with time."
Berkeley researchers, along with colleagues from the University of California, San Francisco, studied the effects using smoking chambers and strips of paper. Their findings suggest a startling cumulative effect that seems only to grow progressively more toxic.
Nicotine is a toxic stimulant that's also highly addictive. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 68 percent of the nation's adult smokers report that they want to quit.

Ambrosia Artist Bio and Lyrics
80's band Ambrosia's founding members include guitarist/vocalist David Pack, bassist/vocalist Joe Puerta, keyboardist Christopher North, and drummer Burleigh Drummond. The band's first 80's hit was Biggest Part of Me in 1980.
Throughout most of the 70's Ambrosia was a progressive rock band. In 1976, Ambrosia remade the Beatle's song "Magical Mystery Tour" for a movie called "All This And World War II". There's also a soundtrack album featuring other artists doing covers of Beatles songs.
Ambrosia's biggest pop breakthrough came in 1978 with the number three hit "How Much I Feel." The band followed this success in 1980 with another number three hit, "Biggest Part of Me," and the number 13 follow-up "You're the Only Woman."
The fourth album from Ambrosia, One Eighty, was released in 1980, and changed direction from progressive rock to mainstream pop music. This album earned the band three Grammy nominations, including Best Pop Vocal Group. The title of the album is believed to signal the group's 180 degree change in musical direction.
Ambrosia's fifth album Road Island was released in 1982. The album was poorly received by critics and fans alike. In the wake of the album's disappointing performance, the band broke up.

This positive outlook leads to a greater level of productivity. Designers take trips to the fabric store for needed supplies, turning out new creations as the month progresses. In the final stages of production, a clothing line, be it an internationally-distributed company or a small indie start-up operation, is in need of high-quality labels and hang tags for their latest items. For over two decades, Hi-Tech Printing & Labeling Inc., based in the garment district of Los Angeles, produces the best printed clothing tags and fabric labels for garments, backpacks, and other products.

With so many color combinations, sizes, and fabrics available, the customer may choose the colors and textures that will communicate the personality of his or her brand.
When an order is placed with Hi-Tech Printing & Labeling, the customer receives an estimated delivery date. However, this order completion date is never an empty promise or an unrealistic deadline set by the leading label maker. The customer may stay on track with the other elements of their production and distribution process, assured that Hi-Tech Printing & Labeling will deliver the bulk order of labels or tags on time.

Beautiful, simply stunning.
Thanks for this video clip. I learned about Partick Blanc a few years ago when studying Landscape Architecture in NZ. The simplicity of his vertical green wall design inspired me to design WITH my material's and plant's features rather than supporting them into situations where they struggle. I attempted to replicate his method with my own plants and thick woolen felt. It worked reasonably well except my temporary wall leaked more onto the ground than into the trough at the bottom. I'd love to learn how his ones are actually put together without piercing the PVC layer. I now run my own Landscape Design business called Outlandish Landscapes where I hope to achieve great things like Blanc. http://outlandish.co.nz/

Sutton's Place Is in New York City
Actress Sutton Foster on her first curtain call, bubble wrapping her Tonys and yogurt at Bloomingdale's
By Angela Barbuti
You may have seen Sutton Foster sprawled across MTA buses in the ad campaign for Bunheads, her new show on ABC Family. Sutton herself hasn't even seen them yet, but has had "many, many" friends send pictures to her. This is because after 15 years in New York City and two Tony Awards for performances in Thoroughly Modern Millie and Anything Goes, she recently moved to California. This leap to television with the show Bunheads, created by Amy Sherman-Palladino of Gilmore Girls fame, fits perfectly into Foster's plan of having a varied career.
Our Town: You were born in Georgia and began dancing at age 4. Did you always know you wanted to be in show business?
Foster: I loved dancing, singing and being in plays. That was what I was spending all my extracurricular time doing. My brother is an actor as well. It was really something we both did for fun, and then we were both able to make careers out of it.
What was your Broadway debut?
A revival of Grease in '95. I had been doing the national tour and I came in as a replacement for Sandy. My brother was in the show at the time as well. For my first bow on a Broadway stage, I was standing next to my brother.
At 25, you went from being an understudy to playing the lead in Thoroughly Modern Millie. What was going through your mind when they asked you to play the starring role?
I thought they had lost their minds. I started crying, saying, "You're making a mistake!" I was just so young and naïve. They believed in me and saw something that I didn't even know was in me. They took a chance on a nobody and it changed my life.
You earned a Tony Award for that role and also for your work in Anything Goes. Where do you keep your Tonys?
[Laughs] Right now they're in storage! Isn't that horrible? Because I'm out here and thought it might be weird to take them with me. They're in a storage bin, wrapped up very, very well with bubble wrap.
What is your favorite Broadway song to sing?
"Blow, Gabriel, Blow" from Anything Goes. Almost every single night, when I'd sing that iconic Cole Porter song, I'd be saying, "I cannot believe I'm playing this role on Broadway."
Do your Broadway friends feel you abandoned them by going on television?
[Laughs] No! Everyone thinks that; it's so funny! I don't think it ever has to be one or the other. I hope to have a very varied career. I don't think that by coming to TV, my theater career is over.
The season finale of Bunheads is Aug. 20. What has this season of filming been like?
It's been amazing; one of the favorite jobs I've ever done. It's been hard, but incredible. I'm not just saying that. I wake up every day really happy.
You've relocated to California to tape Bunheads. Are you planning on moving back to New York one day?
I'm out here for now. I'm in the process of deciding what I want to do. I really love the lifestyle out here; it's been a great change of pace for me. But New York will always be a part of my life as well. I have a feeling I'll end up spending time in both areas.
What are your favorite places in New York City?
I love Bloomingdale's. On the seventh floor is the restaurant 40 Carrots. They have the best frozen yogurt—plain and coffee with granola—so good. You have to go with someone else though because the portions are so ginormous. One of my favorite things to do is walk through Central Park. I played at Café Carlyle a couple summers ago and would walk from Columbus Circle to Café Carlyle to the park. I also love the spa at the Mandarin Oriental up on the 36th floor. It's just a beautiful spot.

Rosa Parks was born a hundred years ago yesterday, on February 4, 1913. In 2008, David Remnick wrote about her funeral, held in Detroit, where she lived for many years. Here's a look: http://nyr.kr/XGHpGe

The civil-rights activist and former federal judge Robert L. Carter died Tuesday, at the age of ninety-four. Carter, seated above with Jack Greenberg, worked for the N.A.A.C.P. Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and presented its case in arguments that led to the Supreme Court's 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education. This portrait, by Platon, was part of our project on leaders of the civil-rights movement, and was first published as part of our multimedia Portfolio "The Promise." Photographs from this series are currently on view at the New York Historical Society.

The Promise Carries On
The New York Historical Society reopens today, following a three-year renovation, and among its new exhibits is "Freedom Now," by the New Yorker photographer Platon. Each lit individually in the dark gallery, the photographs make for contemplative viewing. Many of these images, including those of the Little Rock Nine, Muhammad Ali, and the Olympians Tommie Smith and John Carlos, first appeared in the pages of this magazine as part of our multimedia Portfolio "The Promise." The exhibition runs through April 15th, 2012.
"The Promise" is an interactive portfolio about the civil-rights era, with contemporary portraits by Platon, historical photographs, interviews, and audio commentary by David Remnick, whose written introduction appears below the portfolio. Click here to view it: http://nyr.kr/vEMVHg
Jefferson Thomas was one of the Little Rock Nine, the group of African-American students who provoked a major-civil rights showdown and made national headlines when they integrated Little Rock Central High in Arkansas, in 1957. Despite opposition from angry whites and Governor Orval Faubus, who deployed the state's National Guard to keep them out of Central High, the nine teen-agers prevailed as President Dwight D. Eisenhower sent the Army's 101st Airborne Division to escort them to school. Thomas died on Sunday, the first of the Nine to pass away.
Earlier this year, we sent staff photographer Platon across the country to pay tribute to a few of the iconic leaders of the civil-rights movement, including all of the Little Rock Nine, whom we assembled at Central High for the final time. You can see Platon's pictures, along with archival images from the era and interviews with many of his subjects, in this Portfolio. And here are previously unreleased excerpts from our interview with Thomas.

HILTON HEAD, SC (NBC) - A walk on a South Carolina beach turned deadly for one man Monday. He was hit by a plane as it made an emergency landing.
This plane was heading to Virginia from Orlando when it had engine troubles and landed on Hilton Head Beach Monday night.
Authorities say the pilot tried to make it to the airport, but the plane started losing oil, so he decided to ditch it on the beach. The oil sprayed onto the windshield, obscuring the pilot's view.
Officials have not identified the bystander who was killed. They say he may have been unable to hear the plane's approach because it's engine had already shut down.
Neither person on the plane was injured.
