Student loan defaults: Some aren't necessary, thanks to little-used repayment option. September 19, 2011|Eileen Ambrose, The Baltimore Sun The number of borrowers defaulting on federal student loans continues to rise in Maryland and elsewhere.
But even during the long and painful economic recovery, many of these defaults likely are unnecessary. The federal government has long offered leniency for borrowers in financial hardship. But two years ago it added an income-based repayment plan that caps monthly payments based on a borrower's income and family size.

I was Once a Consumer but Now I am a Human Being. The Conscience of the King. Census: Fewer people do without indoor plumbing. McMeans, 73, who lives about 40 miles southwest of the state capital Montgomery, is one of a shrinking number of people who still have no indoor plumbing, no hot and cold water, no bath or shower, according to Census 2000 data.
Most are elderly, poor and living in rural areas. Nationwide, about 50,000 fewer households lacked complete plumbing in 2000 than in 1990, dropping from 721,693 homes (0.78%), to 670,986 homes (0.64%). Alaska led the nation in both counts, with 13,489 homes in 1990 without complete plumbing, or 7.1%, and 14,003 in 2000, or 6.3%. By region, the South had the highest rate without toilets and tubs. In 1990, nine of 15 states with the worst plumbing facilities were in the South. Alabama's Black Belt, the south-central region known for its dark soil and impoverished history, is slowly casting off its rustic inconveniences along with much of the rural South.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF; pronounced /ˈjuːnɨsɛf/, EW-ni-sef)[2] is a United Nations Program headquartered in New York City that provides long-term humanitarian and developmental assistance to children and mothers in developing countries.
It is one of the members of the United Nations Development Group and its Executive Committee.[3] UNICEF was created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II. In 1953, UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations System and its name was shortened from the original United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund but it has continued to be known by the popular acronym based on this previous title. Most of UNICEF's work is in the field, with staff in over 190 countries and territories. More than 200 country offices carry out UNICEF's mission through a program developed with host governments.
