Naming her new companion "Freeway," Beth forges a strong bond with her new pet while growing increasing frustrated with her husband Joseph (Kevin Kline) -- a self-centered doctor who shows more concern for his patients than he does for his own children.

Diane Keaton stars as a unconditionally loving, but meddling, mother whose vain attempt to prevent her insecure youngest daughter from repeating the same mistakes that she made leads to a series of comic misunderstandings in director Michael Lehmann's affectionate family comedy. When it comes to the topic of motherhood, Daphne Wilder (Keaton) has seen it all. Her eldest daughter, Maggie (Lauren Graham), is a highly respected psychologist and her middle daughter, Mae (Piper Perabo), is both sexy and smart, but youngest Milly (Mandy Moore) just can't seem to get things right no matter how hard she tries. Recognizing that the romantic exploits of her charming-but-struggling youngest always seem to end in tears, concerned mother Daphne vows to find Millie the perfect man. Though she always means well, Daphne's misguided attempt to set her daughter up by placing a carefully worded personal ad proves once and for all that even the most well-intending of mothers can sometimes overstep their boundaries. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

A woman meets her future in-laws and discovers they don't much care for her in this comedy from writer and director Thomas Bezucha. Everett Stone (Dermot Mulroney) is a successful young businessman who is dating Meredith Morton (Sarah Jessica Parker), and has asked her to spend Christmas with his family, with plans to ask his mother, Sybil (Diane Keaton), for the titular family wedding band and propose to Meredith on Christmas Day. Meredith is more than a bit nervous about meeting Everett's folks, and things only get worse when they arrive -- Meredith is by her nature straight-laced and a bit uptight around strangers, while Sybil and family patriarch Kelly (Craig T. Nelson) are free-thinkers who, except for Everett, have raised a family of cheerfully rebellious children, most notably younger daughter Amy (Rachel McAdams), older brother Ben (Luke Wilson), and adopted sibling Thad (Tyrone Giordano), who is both deaf and gay. Meredith and the Stone family do not get along well at first, especially Sybil, who is appalled at the prospect of Everett giving Meredith the family's heirloom wedding ring; in dire need of moral support, Meredith asks her younger sister, Julie (Claire Danes), to join her for Christmas with the Stones. However, the plan runs into a snag when Everett's head is turned by pretty Julie, and Meredith finds herself on the receiving end of attention from slobby Ben. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Director Gus Van Sant returned to the low-key style of his early independent efforts with this semi-improvised exploration of how violence makes its way into a typical American high school. Eric (Eric Deulen) and Alex (Alex Frost) are two close friends who are students in a well-to-do suburb of Portland, OR. Eric and Alex are at once ordinary and misfits; while they seem to be confined to the edges of the clique-oriented social strata of high school, little about their behavior draws attention to itself. Or at least not during a typical school day; on their own time, the two boys are fascinated by Nazi iconography, enjoy violent video games, tentatively explore homoerotic desires, and coolly begin to make plans for an armed ambush of the school, drawing up working diagrams of the lunch room during study hall and buying rifles over the Internet. Drawing an expected degree of controversy, Elephant had its world premiere when it was screened in competition at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, where it won both Best Director for Van Sant and the Golden Palm award. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

In keeping with the light and slick tones of her earlier film What Women Want, Nancy Meyers writes and directs the romantic comedy Something's Gotta Give. Jack Nicholson plays Harry Langer, a swinging sixtysomething entertainment executive surrounded by plenty of young girlfriends. His latest romance is young petite sophisticate Marin (Amanda Peet), who takes him to her mother's beach house in the Hamptons for a weekend fling. However, Marin's successful Broadway playwright mother Erica Barry (Diane Keaton) is already vacationing at the house with her sister Zoe (Frances McDormand). Marin and Harry stay anyway, and Harry ends up having a heart attack. He goes to the hospital and is looked after by thirtysomething doctor Julian Mercer (Keanu Reeves). Impressed by her writing, Dr. Mercer finds himself pursuing a romance with Erica. Because of his serious health condition, he orders Harry to stay near the hospital. While Marin returns to Manhattan, Erica agrees to stay on and look after Harry. Of course they are repulsed by each other at first, but they end up falling in love throughout the recovery process. Also starring Jon Favreau as Harry's assistant. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, Rovi

On Thin Ice
Diane Keaton could not be further removed from Annie Hall if she'd taken a rocket to Mars in this gut-wrenching made-for-cable drama. Keaton is cast as widowed mother Patsy McCartle, who finds herself totally unable to support her two sons--the youngest of whom desperately needs medication for his asthsma--when she loses her waitress job. In a highly vulnerable state, Patsy succumbs to an offer made by a shady character named Roger Hopkins (Michael Rooker) and begins dealing crystal methamphetamine. At first the job seems easy, but the more she deals, the deeper she becomes involved in a deadly drug cartel--and worse, she becomes a meth addict herself. It is up to her sons to come to Patsy's rescue, if her criminal cohorts don't get to her first. At the time this film was made, the woman on whom the main character is based was in the Witness Protection Program. Executive-produced by star Keaton, On Thin Ice debuted November 3, 2003 on the Lifetime channel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Based on the autobiographical book by novelist Beverly Lowry, the made-for-TV Crossed Over chronicles the unlikely friendship between Lowry and one of America's most notorious death-row inmates. Consumed by grief after the hit-and-run death of her 18-year-old son Peter (Nick Roth), Beverly Lowry (played by Diane Keaton, who also executive-produced the film) is unable to overcome her depression, despite the tender ministrations of her supportive husband Ethan (Maury Chaykin). But when a psychic informs her that her son's death was caused by a woman, Beverly obsessively begins researching the lives of other women who'd taken lives. The trail of information leads her to the infamous Karla Faye Tucker (Jennifer Jason Leigh), slated to become the first white woman executed for murder in Texas in 135 years. Although the film necessarily telescopes the facts (the actual relationship between Lowry and Tucker spanned nearly a decade), the film successfully details how Beverly's friendship with the doomed Karla enabled both women to expunge the demons within their respective souls. Filmed in Toronto, Crossed Over was originally aired by CBS on March 3, 2002. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Pasadena [TV Series]
Having spent virtually all of her 15 years enwrapped in a sheltered, pampered existence, Lily Greeley McAllister (Alison Lohman) was not quite prepared for the emotional jolt attending the suicide of a strange man in the dining room of the Greeley family's luxurious Pasadena home. Lily was equally unprepared for the blasé, unconcerned reactions of the Greeleys to this appalling spectacle. Attempting to find out why the man killed himself and why no one seemed to care all that much, Lily began to methodically unearth a number of unsavory family secrets -- and in the process, put her own future in dire jeopardy. Mike White of Dawson's Creek, Freaks and Geeks, and Chuck and Buck fame was the guiding creative force behind this bizarre weekly blend of Beverly Hills 90210 and Dallas, while actress Diane Keaton helmed the series' pilot episode. Others in the cast included Natasha Gregson Wagner and Mark Valley as two branches of the Greeley family tree, and Dana Delany as Catherine McAllister. The 60-minute Pasadena debuted September 21, 2001, on the Fox Network. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

This long-delayed romantic comedy from director Peter Chelsom stars Warren Beatty as a wealthy New York architect, Porter Stoddard. The revelation that his best friend Griffin (Garry Shandling) is cheating on his wife Mona (Goldie Hawn) leads to a mid-life crisis of sorts for Porter, jeopardizing his marriage to Ellie (Diane Keaton). When Mona leaves Griffin for her family's antebellum home in Mississippi, Porter accompanies her to lend his professional assistance in designing some home improvements and ends up entangled in a romantic assignation with his best friend's estranged wife. He then embarks on a series of other illicit, comical affairs. Among Porter's conquests are a cellist, Alex (Nastassja Kinski), the beautiful Eugenie (Andie MacDowell), and a Halloween reveler named Auburn (Jenna Elfman). He also runs afoul of Eugenie's overprotective father (Charlton Heston), who's armed with a shotgun and disturbingly unable to view his daughter as an adult. Town & Country (2001) is based on a script co-written by Buck Henry. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

When a gentle bookkeeper is forced to act as an assassin in order to pay off her husband's debt to the mob, the bloodless scheme she concocts to keep a clear conscience could cost her more than she bargained for in a blistering crime comedy starring Diane Keaton, Burt Young, Bob Balaban, Paul Sorvino, and Natasha Lyonne. Fran (Keaton) has just lost her husband, and if that wasn't enough to shake her world, the revelation that he owed a healthy chunk of change to a local syndicate head does little to comfort her in her time of mourning. Soon informed that she is to carry out a series of risky assassinations lest she find herself having a premature reunion with her recently departed spouse, Fran opts instead to drive her would-be victims to her brother's house in Florida for safe keeping. When the big boss receives word that his enemies may not be as dead as he was led to believe, his impromptu trip to the Sunshine State leads to a comic series of criminal complications. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Diane Keaton stars in this adaptation of Christopher Durang's popular one-act play Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All for You as Sister Mary, a nun who teaches at a parochial school and has very firmly held ideas about sin, forgiveness, and the importance of church doctrine. As Sister Mary delivers a lecture on sin and its consequences, she's interrupted by several of her former students, who have little positive to say about how a Catholic education has impacted their lives. Sister Mary Explains It All also stars Brian Benben, Jennifer Tilly, and Wallace Langham; it was produced for the Showtime premium cable network, where it first aired in May 2001. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Diane Keaton directed and starred in this comedy/drama about a family brought together by potential tragedy. In her mid-40s, Eve (Meg Ryan) minds her house, runs a business organizing parties and events for others, and looks after her father (Walter Matthau), an alcoholic former writer who has grown argumentative and increasingly difficult to handle. Eve's sisters -- Georgia (Keaton), who is a few years older and the editor of a successful fashion magazine, and Maddy (Lisa Kudrow), a few years younger and a working actress with a spot on a soap opera -- have also had to deal with Dad, but only by long distance when he makes one of his frequent telephone calls. Dad now doesn't have long to live, and the siblings must pull together and make peace with their father and each other. Sisters Nora Ephron and Delia Ephron adapted the screenplay from Delia's novel; the supporting cast includes Adam Arkin, Cloris Leachman, and Mary Steenburgen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Twenty-two year old Carla Tate (Juliette Lewis) is a slightly mentally challenged young woman who has spent several years at a sheltered private boarding school. Now she's coming home to her wealthy parents in northern California who are emotionally ill-equipped to deal with her and are guilt ridden over sending her away in the first place. The biggest limitation Carla must now overcome is her overprotective mother Elizabeth (Diane Keaton). When she takes a class at a trade school, Carla soon meets the equally challenged Daniel (Giovanni Ribisi). Despite his limitations, he maintains a job in a bakery and lives alone. Carla dares to dream of independence and love despite her mother who refuses to view her as an adult. When Daniel fails his class, his father cuts off his funds. Facing a move to Florida to live with his mother, the two turn to each other and find a way to stay together to face a world of adult opportunities and responsibilities. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

Northern Lights
Adapted by John Robert Hoffman from his own play, the made-for-TV Northern Lights stars Diane Keaton as Roberta Blumstein, a high-strung New Yorker whose well-ordered lifestyle is set on its ear with the arrival of a child. No, not Roberta's child, but the son of her recently deceased brother Frank. The kid's name is Jack, and he is no more fond of Roberta than she is of him--at least, not at first. Gradually, however, the two lost souls come to find each other in the most unlikeliest of places: A quaint New England community that Roberta would under normal circumstances have never been caught dead in. Although the original play was a one-character monologue, the TV version features scores of eccentric and lovable supporting characters--among them one Joe Scarlotti, played by author Hoffman, and Ben Rubadue, portrayed by Maury Chaykin, the star of the Diane Keaton-directed theatrical feature Unstrung Heroes. Produced for the Disney Channel, Northern Lights was originally telecast on August 23, 1997. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this drama about love and how it can go wrong, Reese McHenry (Sam Shepard) is the owner of a clothing store who, in 1966, hires Carol Fitzsimmons (Diane Keaton) to work for him as a seamstress. Carol is a widow, and Reese's wife is in a coma; both are lonely, and they begin a habit of going to the movies every Wednesday afternoon, and sometimes also meeting for furtive sexual assignations. But Reese is unable to commit to a more permanent relationship as long as his wife is alive, despite his feelings for Carol, and their love remains in a state of limbo for the next 30 years. Meanwhile, Reese's son Tom (Robert Patrick) and Carol's daughter Katherine (Diane Lane) become romantically involved with no knowledge of their parent's relationship, but Tom's unwillingness to commit mirrors his father's own failings. The Only Thrill was based on the play

Two sisters try to set their familial differences aside -- one in hopes of saving her own life -- in this drama with comic accents. Bessie (Diane Keaton) has lived in Florida for the past 20 years, where she's been caring for her chronically ill father Marvin (Hume Cronyn) and her Aunt Ruth (Gwen Verdon), who does not seem well aquatinted with reality. While Bessie's life has not been easy, she feels that it's rewarding in its way, and she's come to love her father very much. However, when Bessie is diagnosed with cancer, she's told that the only treatment likely to save her would be a bone marrow transplant from a close relative -- which leads Bessie to contact her sister Lee (Meryl Streep) for the first time since their father fell ill. Bessie and Lee have a number of issues with each other that they've never resolved, many concerning their responses to Marvin's illness (Bessie rushed to his side, while Lee preferred to stay away), and Lee's own life has been difficult. She's gotten herself out of a bad marriage, has only recently started supporting herself as a beautician, and has to raise two kids on her own. Ten-year-old Charlie (Hal Scardino) tries to simply ignore the chaos going on all round him, while Hank (Leonardo DiCaprio), a troubled 17-year-old, was recently institutionalized after burning down the family's home. As the straight-laced Bessie and the earthy Lee reestablish contact after two decades, they discover just how much emotional ground they have to cover before they can meet on common ground. Robert De Niro appears in a supporting role as Dr. Wally, Bessie's physician. Marvin's Room was based on the stage drama by Scott McPherson, which opened in 1990; McPherson himself was critically ill at the time -- he died two years later from complications relating to AIDS. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Three women plot revenge on their two-timing husbands in this comedy. Brenda (Bette Midler), Elise (Goldie Hawn), and Annie (Diane Keaton) were close friends in college, but 27 years after graduation they've lost touch with each other, and it's not until a mutual friend of the three commits suicide that they meet at the funeral for the first time in years. It seems that their friend grew despondent after her husband left her for a younger woman, and all three find themselves in similar situations. Elise is an actress who finds herself out of work now that she's seen the shady side of 40, and her husband and producer Bill (Victor Garber) is demanding a divorce (and half of her fortune). Brenda helped her husband Morton (Dan Hedaya) open a profitable chain of discount electronics stores, but now that his commercials have made him a minor celebrity, he's taken up with a much younger (and thinner) woman. Annie has allowed her husband Aaron (Stephen Collins) to use her as a doormat throughout their marriage, and she's at a loss now that he's leaving her. After comparing notes, Brenda, Elise, and Annie decide that it's time to do something about their problems, and they hatch an elaborate blackmail scheme that will win them control of their ex-husband's businesses and allow them to do something positive with the money they helped earn. Heather Locklear and Ivana Trump both make cameo appearances. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Diane Keaton made her directorial debut with this drama, adapted from the autobiographical novel of sportswriter Franz Lidz. Lidz's story was set in his New York childhood and told of how living with his four eccentric uncles helped him overcome his grief at the death of his beloved mother. The movie is set in southern California and the four uncles from the novel have been whittled down to two. Lidz was christened Steven (Nathan Watt) and he is raised by the luminous Selma (Andie McDowell) and Sid (John Turturro), his father. When Selma is taken ill, Sid keeps Steven and his sister out of her bedroom, fearing they will upset her. Sid is an ingenious but cool-hearted inventor whose head is more developed than his heart. He sends Steven off to live with his two brothers. Danny (Michael Richards) is a high-spirited, paranoid man who suffers from delusions. Arthur (Maury Chaykin) is a big-hearted guy who likes to collect other people's junk. Together they rename the child Franz and teach him to value his own uniqueness. ~ Michael Betzold, Rovi

Just as the original 1950 version of Father of the Bride spawned a sequel, so did the 1991 remake; like its counterpart four decades earlier, this story concerns a father who learns that his anxieties are just beginning after his daughter takes the big walk down the aisle. George Banks (Steve Martin) has finally adjusted to the marriage of his daughter Annie (Kimberly Williams) when the fates drop a new bombshell on his head: Annie and her husband Bryan (George Newbern) announce that they're going to have a baby. While George's wife Nina (Diane Keaton) is happy enough about the news, George is thrown into an immediate mid-life crisis; while he and Nina were once discussing the possibility of selling the family home and moving to a place on the beach, George impulsively sells their home to Mr. Habib (Eugene Levy), a greedy land speculator. Now, with ten days to move, George gets even more unexpected news: Nina, who had earlier been fretting about the onset of menopause, has just learned that she's pregnant as well. George now has to deal with being a father again as well as becoming a grandparent, while he also figures out how to get the Banks family home back. Martin Short returns as Franck, the oddly accented wedding planner from Father of the Bride, who has moved into a new career organizing baby showers and redecorating homes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The 2006 Philadelphia Marathon initially reported my result in that race incorrectly as Bib 8502 with gun time of 4:21:06 and chip 4:18:06--an incorrect result which MarathonGuide of course picked up and listed for me on this MarathonGuide website. With help, I eventually got the Philadelphia Marathon to correct the result for me and the corrected result for me now appears on the 2006 Philly Marathon results webpage: Jim Archibald Bib 8357 with gun time of 4:01:35 and chip of 3:57:12. I have tried, thus far without success, to get my result corrected as well in the MarathonGuide results for me on its results page. Any assistance anyone can provide in making this happen would be deeply appreciated. It is disheartening to continue to see the incorrect result for me still posted on this excellent website. Many thanks. Jim Archibald

Bettys Northallerton is top of the pots
8:57am Thursday 5th April 2012 in Hambleton news
A NORTH Yorkshire café has served up a top award.
Judges from the Tea Guild agreed the best place to enjoy a spot of afternoon tea was at Bettys Northallerton.
Bettys was awarded the accolade of Top Tea Place 2012 after earning a near perfect score for flavour, knowledge and service of the teas offered, together with the quality and service of food, decor, ambience and presentation.
Praised for its delightful surroundings, affable staff, and "quietly efficient" service, the judges were also impressed by the variety and number of sandwiches, scones and cakes.
Irene Gorman, of the Tea Guild, said: "They were awarded this for the whole package. Everything was found to be done with knowledge and training.
"Nowadays, with so many different types of tea, you have to have the knowledge. A tea menu is like a wine list.
"It's something Brits are supposed to do better than everyone else. The fact is we do. Particularly this year, with the Queen's jubilee, there is a nostalgia for things like afternoon tea."
Lindsay Judd, manager of Bettys Northallerton Tea Rooms, said: "We are very proud to be members of the Tea Guild, and to be given the Tea Guild's Top Tea Place 2012 Award is a huge honour. We're absolutely delighted.
"We know just how important it is to get all aspects of afternoon tea exactly right."

Single-Child Families on the Rise
Fastest-Growing U.S. Family
It's an enduring stereotype: Only children are lonely children. But this persistent image flies in the face of changing demographics that suggest that only children, in fact, have lots of company:
- There are currently 20 million single-child families in the U.S.
- The percentage of American women having only one child has more than doubled in 20 years, to almost one quarter. (Time Magazine)
- The single-child family is the fastest-growing family in the U.S. and most of western Europe.
- Couples delaying kids for careers.
- Infertility rates on the rise.
- Divorce.
- A shift in thinking more about the "quality" of time spent with children, not the "quantity" of offspring.
- Environmental concerns about world population growth and the depletion of resources.
Issues Single-Child Families Face
"'Only' children never experience the competitiveness that kids with siblings do," says Charles White, co-creator of www.onlychild.com, a website devoted to singletons and their families. "They get it all."
White, whose only child is now 20, assures parents that the nurturing attention they lavish on a "singleton" can be a wonderful thing. Still, he believes parents of one have a longer list of responsibilities, because of the need to provide the competition, camaraderie, stimulation that come naturally with siblings.
"It's extraordinarily important for parents of only children to force them into peer activities," White observes. "More often than not, only children will prefer the company of adults and view other children as loose cannons. They command a great deal of attention from adults, and if a parent doesn't know how to get that under control, they'll be at the mercy of that child."
On the other hand, White notes, parents of only children also need to learn to leave their only offspring alone.
"Most parents feel they have to fill every void in the child's life," White says. "If a child with siblings tells a parent, 'I'm bored,' that parent is more likely to say, 'Well go off and find something to do.' But the parent of an only child may project loneliness and feel guilty if they don't interact with the child every minute. You can end up with a very co-dependent relationship."
On the plus side, the extra time only children spend interacting with adults frequently gives them a leg up academically and socially. Research has shown that only children are often star performers at school, with highly developed verbal skills. High-achieving only children include: Alan Greenspan, Chelsea Clinton, Elton John, and Cary Grant, to name but a few!
"Only children also feel friendships much more deeply," White says. "They develop very fierce loyalties, because their friendships fulfill the need to have a sibling."
While many parents fret about the days when their only child will be "alone in the world," White and others who counsel parents of singletons urge them to think more concretely about the future. Caring for aging parents can be a burden for only children, especially if parents have failed to prepare for old age.
"Draw up a will and look into long-term care insurance, so you're not handing your child a mess, "advises White.
The Gift of Time: One Family's Profile
Carol M. chuckles when she thinks about her seven-year-old daughter's latest tactic to convince her to have another child. Elisa, who attends a Jewish day school, turned to the Torah, the Jewish bible, for inspiration to pass along to her forty-something mom.
"Sarah did it when she was 90," she reminded Carol. "C'mon, you can do it, too!"
Carol says Elisa asks her "all the time" about having a brother or sister. "She's very aware that she's the only single child in her class. And she talks about it a lot. She says if she marries an only child, and they have kids, there won't be any cousins."
Though Carol and husband Ray have no plans to expand the family, they've taken great pains to provide Elisa with "sibling equivalents." For several years, Carol volunteered to provide after-school care for a friend's son, so that her daughter could experience the joys and challenges of having another child in the house on a regular basis.
"Everybody thought I was doing (the other parent) such a favor," Carol recalls. "I was really doing it for Elisa."
Carol and Ray's biggest challenge is trying not to spoil Elisa with too much attention.
"If she's by herself and we're together here in the house, I find it very labor intensive," admits Carol. "I'll tell her to go do something, but I don't say it often enough because she'll just go watch TV."
On the other hand, Carol believes that the extra attention she is able to give her child is a positive, not a negative.
"To me, the biggest gift a parent gives a child is time," she says. "So I give it even when I don't have it. There'll be a pile of dishes in the sink because I spend so much time with her. When she has a friend over, I get a lot more done."
Is Elisa too dependent, or over-attached to her parents, as some experts warn can easily happen? Carol doesn't think so, because she's worked so hard to make sure that her daughter has lots of interaction with other children. Although Elisa is only in second grade, her mother is already talking with her about the importance of going away to overnight camp and college, or spending a semester abroad.
"I keep telling Elisa, she should be out living in the dorms, or in an apartment with friends someday. And already there are lots of times when she doesn't want anything to do with me. And that's good!"

Federal Family Education Loan Repayment Plans
When it's time to start repaying your student loans, you can select a repayment plan that's right for your financial situation. Generally, you'll have from 10 to 25 years to repay your loan, depending on which repayment plan you choose.
Income Based Repayment (IBR)
Income Based Repayment is a new repayment plan for Stafford, Grad PLUS and Consolidation loans. It is not available for loans that are currently in default, Parent PLUS Loans, or Consolidation loans that repaid a parent PLUS Loan. Under IBR, the required monthly payment is capped at an amount that is intended to be affordable based on your income and family size.
You are eligible for IBR if the monthly repayment amount under IBR will be less than the monthly amount calculated under a 10-year Standard repayment plan. Learn more about Income Based Repayment and use the
IBR Calculator
to see if you qualify.
If you repay under the IBR plan for 25 years and meet other requirements you may be able to have any remaining balance of your loan(s) cancelled.
Standard Repayment
With the Standard Repayment plan, you'll pay a fixed amount each month until your loans are paid in full. Your monthly payments will be at least $50, and you'll have up to 10 years to repay your loans.
Your monthly payment under the Standard plan may be higher than it would be under the other plans because your loans will be repaid in the shortest time. For that reason, having a 10-year limit on repayment, you may pay the least interest.
Extended Repayment
Under the Extended Repayment plan, you'll pay a fixed annual or graduated repayment amount over a period not to exceed 25 years. As a FFEL borrower, you must have more than $30,000 in outstanding FFEL loans that were taken out after 10/7/98 to choose the extended repayment option for your FFEL loans.
This is a good plan if you will need to make smaller monthly payments. Because the repayment period will be 25 years, your monthly payments will be less than with the standard plan. However, you may pay more in interest because you're taking longer to repay the loans. Remember that the longer your loans are in repayment, the more interest you will pay.
Graduated Repayment
With the Graduated Repayment plan, your payments start out low and increase over time.The length of your repayment period will be up to ten years. If you expect your income to increase steadily over time, this plan may be right for you.
Your monthly payment will never be less than the amount of interest that accrues between payments. Although your monthly payment will gradually increase, no single payment under this plan will be more than three times greater than any other payment.
Income-Sensitive Repayment Plan (FFEL Loans only)
With an Income-Sensitive Repayment plan, your monthly loan payment is adjusted annually based on your yearly income. As your income increases or decreases, so do your payments. The maximum repayment period is 10 years, with up to five years of forbearance in certain cases.

Something similar is happening on walls in Buffalo's Allentown District, which is similar to our Neighborhood of the Arts. I have lots of more ideas for wall murals and traffic singal box paintings in the city and maybe in the suburbs as well.
Our city is being transformed by these surprises of color and creativity happening in the most drab unexpected little corners. It's wonderful.
Will the MAG be inviting Tom Otterness back to town so he can slaughter another dog as his contribution to street "art".
I would like to thank the folks responsible for Wall Therapy. Some of the most respected and well-known wall muralists in the world now have traveled to our city and shared their work. They see Rochester as a destination to meet their peers from around the world and share ideas and fellowship, as evidenced by the fact that many have made repeat visits from very distant places to participate. They have purposefully chosen some of the most challenged neighborhoods in our city to beautify and create inspiration. They have given many of our city's most talented local artists an opportunity to both share their work in highly visible venues, and to be included in the global media attention that the event has achieved. They have encouraged an atmosphere of diversity and free expression, of joy and community. They achieved this through grassroots support and hard work, and financed it through the contributions of folks who understand Wall Therapy's value. The barking of a small handful of critics cannot change these facts.
I went to the philly show with my son. Before the show started, he turned to me and said, "this is either going to be horrible or awesome". It was awesome and hilarious. Would love to see them again.
This review was one of the highlights of my summer.
"One lasting effect of the actions of empires is that it can be difficult to locate the voices of the underdog, unmitigated by the interests of the victor. For this reason, it's critical that we support the endeavors of those who are the keepers of these arcane histories.:
Agreed ! But the application of this concept to the Seneca always seems to stop half way. We are asked to support efforts to collect and evaluate the Seneca's side of their relationship with the Europeans, but never to do the same for the Seneca's victims among their fellow Native Americans. Certainly the Senecas never ask that we listen for the "voices of the underdog" or look for the "arcane histories" when those underdogs
were the tribes attacked, decimated and driven off their traditional lands by the Senecas in their role as the assault troops for the Haudenosaune.
Could it be that hypocrisy, double standards and selective memory has worked to ensure that broken treaties and stolen land where the evil whites are the offending party is a more sympathetic role for the Seneca to play than that of blood stained aggressor?
For example, Where do we now hear the voices of the Hurons, Neutrals, and Eries? Great Lakes tribal confederacies attacked and in some cases destroyed with thousands killed or taken prisoner by the Seneca during the Beaver Wars of the mid -17th. Century? What efforts to resurrect the Ganondagans of those tribes are we being asked to participate in? What "history told by the survivors" is there when the Senecas made certain that there were no survivors?
I've seen this show in New Orleans and, by chance, Philadelphia. In Philly, there were over 200 in the audience (I hear all five shows were sold out). Since I was toward the front, I looked back to see how the show was being received. Young and old were all focused, attentive and laughing their rears off.
Watch this space next week for the debut of a new column, "Eric's Kitty Corner."
This review makes me want to catch this unique show
Having the privilege of seeing artists create...watching bare and barren spaces be transformed into vibrant surfaces...encouraging the public to explore and participate...Two thumbs up, Wall Therapy. Thanks, Rebecca.
In the Spirit of conversation Gingerbeard did propose an Idea for a Mural to be done in Wheatpaste or Paint. The Idea was Fredrick Douglas with one of his famous quotes ." It is easier to build strong children then to repair broken men." This Idea was proposed to be done in the south wedge being that Fredrick Douglas himself lived right on south avenue.
I'd personally like to thank all that have taken the time to respond and discuss this matter further. From Rebecca Rafferty who has written an amazing article and an equally well written response. To Mr. Jack Russell for vocalizing his concerns over the project and what it's impact could be on the Rochester area. We as a community can never hope to improve if we don't hear all the sides of a discussion, and willing to understand others views. So thank you to all for taking the time to write in.
If it helps, I'd just like to take a moment to address the point that Jack Russell made in his last message: "That doesn't mean the mural project is all wrong; however, I think people who back it should be aware of the negative side and be more prepared to accommodate those who feel adversely affected -- not simply vilify those who are not happy with what's going on."
The crew and supporters of this endeavor have taken that into account and have brought in some very talented people to handle all aspects of the public relations for the entire week (and beyond if necessary). They literally have a small team of people busily working away answering questions, in person and online, and listening to any and all concerns regarding the murals being created and the artists creating them. Rest assured that there will not be any vilification or negative/libelous statements directed at anyone from our crew, we respect those who have different opinions than us, with the understanding that we wish to be offered the exact same respect when offering our own opinion.
For instance, I myself have been out in the community at all the mural locations taking time to talk with onlookers to get their opinions and to listen to any concerns they might have. I'm happy to say that the number of individuals upset or worried were practically non-existent. The few that were worried not only were happy to discuss the matter, but were shocked when the artists themselves took time from their murals to discuss the matter. The Wall\Therapy team and the artists have the utmost respect for Rochester and it's citizens, and we hope that this shows through to any and all who wish to discuss the matter any further.
Should you wish to discuss anything over with the crew you can find the contact information via the website, or send them a message on any of the social media outlets like twitter or Facebook.
Oh my, I guess I'm glad to have stirred up some discussion. The odd thing is that in most matters I'd probably be on the side of the people who dislike my comment. At any rate, real discussion seems healthy. I'll certainly reconsider my views and where they are coming from. But I would ask those who don't like what I'm saying to examine yourself (as some are saying I should do with the murals) to see why objections like mine bother you. And if you can imagine these views that disturb or irritate you being distilled into a slogan that you didn't just get to think about briefly but had to see scrolling across your screen on a regular basis, you might get an idea of how someone could have trouble living with challenging art on their once soothing blank walls.
Unlike provocative books, movies and museum art, murals are out there. Some of the people who are bothered by them (or who LIKE seeing them but not living with them on a daily basis!!) have had their choice about when and how frequently they encounter the art taken away. This is a serious issue for all public art.
The starting point for my comment was Paul Goldberg's letter, published in the 7/24 City. And the fact that I love blank walls -- which are seldom really blank but full of character, and history, and evidence of random elemental processes, etc. But let's consider Goldberg and, yes, the many residents I expect he represents. Were they really brought into the process? Did they really have an opportunity to choose? Or was it a done-deal that just needed a certain amount of going through the motions?
At any rate, isn't there a temptation toward personal imperialism whenever one thinks one knows what's best to put up in someone else's environment, whether it's billboards or art or security forces (I am not saying these are equivalents). The arrogance I referred to was not the art or the artists but in the project sponsor's ridiculing those who legitimately objected. It's perhaps spiritually useful but nonetheless truly patronizing to tell people that if they don't enjoy seeing something they should examine themselves. I don't like seeing a Walmart, or even an art museum, being built on a former farm or natural area. I can examine myself to see why, I can acknowledge my own destructive tendencies and so on, but the development is still going to strike me as wrong.
Here we have murals that some love and some hate. Not to recognize the validity of the objections from people like Mr. Goldberg, to see objections as inherently small-minded or anti-creativity or on the other side... to have no compassionate awareness of the negative aspect of this -- even if you know in your bones celebration is the larger, greater response -- that seems as limited a mindset as the other side supposedly displays.
But, yeah, discussion is good, and dialogue, and developing a porosity of mind that can truly consider all sides. I'm always learning. I do not know Mr. Goldberg, but I imagine he would find common cause with and be able to have fun with many of the mural proponents and artists, and I expect he could be a strong ally in the fight against the cultural, political, and moral decay some comments refer to... But one's visual environment can be important, and some great people value calm and simplicity more than provocation in their everyday surroundings. I think he's legitimately pissed off, and not for stupid reasons. That doesn't mean the mural project is all wrong; however, I think people who back it should be aware of the negative side and be more prepared to accommodate those who feel adversely affected -- not simply vilify those who are not happy with what's going on.
p.s. I agree that a lot of by-committee public art -- most of it! -- is horrible and at least some of the mural art is wonderful. There's no easy truth here about what's right and wrong, good and bad.
p.s. 2 The implication -- made by one writer -- that not accepting a potentially disturbing large artwork in your neighborhood has anything to do with one's awareness of cultural disintegration and corporate take-over, or one's personal efforts to face and fight what's happening in the world... is preposterous. And highly counter productive if you really want to make the world more democratic and humane.
I walked down part of the El Camino Trail from Irondequoit this morning. My intention was to see the art, which I did. But what really made me feel good were the three different people also wandering around who engaged me, happy to see the artists in their neighborhood.
Don't let one lap dog ruin the success of this project . I found this statement most telling " but a lot of it, even "the best", is jarring, unsettling, and not at all what a lot of people going about their lives want to have to look at routinely." I translate this as "I only want to see pretty things" Art by it's nature is created to challenge us. Using the jack Russell's argument we should not have to see abandoned buildings. Homelessness illness etc. All these things exist in our city. Ignoring/marginalizing these things neither cures them nor addresses root causes. Enjoy you Disneyland while Rome burns. I loathe seeing the architecture wegmans uses and that was created after years of wrangling. .. it to me represents a larger detriment to the city than any art could ever cause. And this guy represents "a lot of people" what'dehe do take a poll? Own your opinion and don't hide behind the masses...
Trigger Warning: Art.
Jack Russell - What's great about this project is that it has started from the bottom up rather than top down. The community itself is what organized the project rather than "art by committee." There were planning meetings that the public were invited to attend. There have been many opportunities for voices to be heard in planning and during the week-long festival. Just last night there was an incredible and free artist roundtable at School of the Arts where some of your questions could have been answered by the artists themselves. There have been so many opportunities for voices and opinions to be heard in this project, whereas if it had been dictated by the city or the county, the art most likely would have been dictated by city leaders and project funders.
We also would likely not have gotten such world class artists to do the paintings as they appreciate being able to choose their own subjects rather than having the content dictated to them. By doing the project in this way, Rochester has attracted world renowned artists who have varied backgrounds and artistic styles, turning our city into an amazing canvas. All art will not appeal to everybody, but with such diverse artists, there's bound to be something for everybody.
If you had come to the artist discussion last night, you may have been surprised by the artists' knowledge of their work as possibly temporary and their openness (though not desire) to have their work taken down if deemed by the community to be too problematic.
I just can't believe that any of the amazing murals that are part of this project could be deemed "aesthetic hell" when compared to the blank walls, nearby alleys and dumpsters, and in some cases abandoned and condemned properties.
Wall\Therapy is an incredible asset to this community and is meant to bring together the community and encourage people to see the beauty in some unappreciated parts of the city.
Dear Mr. Jack Russell (and anyone else who cares to comment):
It's unfortunate to hear that you view these art endeavors (which are very much attempting to unite different communities within Rochester and to promote a grassroots, honest, medical philanthropic endeavor in third world locations) as mere "self-righteous bullying," as you called them. The project is still in its infancy, is making attempts to encourage Rochesterians to become more aware of their surroundings, for better or worse, and ultimately is driven toward promoting the charity that Dr. Ian Wilson and colleagues have founded.
I wonder what you would point toward as an example of a genuine open dialogue. I don't recall being consulted about many of the public artworks which have gone up in Rochester. I am not impressed by many of them, and if there was a committee involved in putting them up, those committees certainly doesn't represent the majority of the city's tastes by any means. This is hardly democratic, and hardly a dialogue with the citizens.
I am tempted to say "Not everyone will like everything in the public realm. Too bad." And also add that I have personally noticed that quite a few of the most outspoken people critical of the murals are themselves local artists, and many have used this opportunity to promote their own work. That will happen. But this discussion is complex, and extends beyond art.
Art just happens to be the thing that we seem to pick on the most ferociously, likely because art is the most powerful and artists themselves are the least. By this I mean art has the potential to have a greater impact than most things do, and, save a very few, artists don't tend to have a lot of personal political clout or resource.
Speaking of citizenry not being consulted when the aesthetics of their cities shift:
What have you to say about the thousands of billboards, or even the selection of particularly hideous newer architecture, or the vulturous chain stores not owned by locals, which are all imposed upon the residents of Rochester?
It would be fascinating to have a dialogue with the community regarding this matter.
Is this so-called imposition limited to art? Are your aesthetic tastes offended when it comes to these billboards and predatory stores, or just when the projects are specifically labeled "art?"
Are these murals really egotistic impositions or could they be construed as an offering, or an attempt to open a dialogue within a city?
If you insist upon labeling the paintings egotistic impositions, are they worse than the abundance of shameless and greedy advertisements of things that are physically/morally/spiritually bad for us?
Do we feel motivated/empowered to protest and call out the corporate offenders, or is it just easier to pick on the efforts of not-so-wealthy little guys?
Is it possible to be offended by something and then moved to examine the self, i.e. what about this is offensive to me? Is the factor that I find offensive present in the art, or did I interpret it a certain way? (we all bring something of ourselves to the table when looking at art) Is it possible to have another look? Is there a possibility for dialogue and growth?
My point in writing this and all art articles is not to stand on a pedestal and tell people what to revere, but rather to provide a space for conversation about art and culture within our city. I am most delighted when we are able to approach these matters in a levelheaded, open, and civil manner, and least pleased when emotions and stubbornness reign. That gets us nowhere.
I think everyone who thinks this wall therapy is fun should read Paul Goldberg's letter of 7/24 in which he relates the experience of having to see a particularly (to him -- and to many others) unappealing mural every day. To me that would be aesthetic hell, and for every individual of very particular taste who gushes about the mural artists there may be countless ( and, shamefully, uncounted) others who have to live with the results for some indefinite term. A lot of this art is exciting, inventive, alive...but a lot of it, even "the best", is jarring, unsettling, and not at all what a lot of people going about their lives want to have to look at routinely. As far as I can tell, this initiative did not arise from any community need or interest and was, rather, imposed -- maybe with good intentions but not with true regard for or respect for anyone who wasn't on board. Public art needs to respect the public and serve the public. And when artists and art boosters have an idea to put out there for the supposed greater good, it does a disservice to the creative spirit to replace real dialogue with one-sided, self-righteous bullying.
