1. Penn State
   The Penn State study was a randomized, crossover design, controlled feeding experiment to test the effects of pistachios added to a heart-healthy, moderate-fat diet on cardiovascular disease risk factors. Participants began the study by eating an Average American Diet consisting of 35 percent total fat and 11 percent saturated fat for two weeks. They then tested three diets, all variations on the Step 1 Diet (a cholesterol-lowering diet in general use). Researchers added pistachios into the diets by including about half the amount of pistachios as a snack and by incorporating the rest into foods such as pistachio muffins, granola and pistachio pesto. Researchers concluded that pistachio amounts of 1.5 ounces and 3 ounces per day reduced cardiovascular disease by significantly reducing LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels. In addition, the higher daily dose reduced lipoprotein ratios.

3. Penn State -- Higher Education
   "When Joe Paterno became head coach in 1966, he had a vision for Penn State and his program," Curley added. "He wanted Penn State to strive to become the best institution of higher learning it could be. And he wanted to build a football program with young men who understood that getting a quality education had to be their first goal, followed by developing teams that could compete for the national championship. He obviously has been very successful in building and maintaining those two foundations of his program throughout his magnificent career and is most deserving of induction into the College Football Hall of Fame."
