Memphis, Tenn. --- The Southern Heritage Classic presented by FedEx announced today that the popular event will celebrate its 25th anniversary when football rivals Jackson State University and Tennessee State University go head-to-head Saturday September 13, at 6 p.m. (CDT) at Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis.
The Classic, which last year ranked 4th in attendance among historically black college and university (HBCU) classic football games in the country, has become a driving force for increasing revenue for Jackson State and Tennessee State. After the 2014 Classic, both colleges – collectively – will have earned more than $9.8 million since the Classic's inception in 1990. The Classic also has had an economic impact on Memphis where these competing teams play annually. Last year's Classic generated $21 million dollars to the local economy.
"The Classic has become much more than a platform where two of our historically black colleges and universities come together in Memphis," said Fred Jones Jr., Southern Heritage Classic founder and producer. "For the two colleges, it's created an annual economic stream that they could depend on. For Memphis, it's been an economic powerhouse to the community."
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. said the Classic also has impacted communities beyond the boundaries of Memphis.
"In bringing together universities from Nashville, Tennessee and Jackson, Mississippi in Memphis, the Southern Heritage Classic has for many years been one of the most anticipated and widely regarded events on the Mid-South region's social calendar," Wharton said. "What escapes many people, however, is that this game and calendar of events have also become a strong, dependable economic engine for Memphis and the Mid-South."
Wharton continued, "What Fred Jones has accomplished in building this Classic from a small football game between regional rivals into a week of activities that generates a $21 million economic impact is remarkable. This is why he deserves appreciation not only from Jackson State and Tennessee State Universities and their fans, but also from the small business owners, Chamber of Commerce officers, hotel general managers, governmental officials, and all of those who have benefited from the financial footprint the Southern Heritage Classic continues to make. To be clear, every Memphian has benefitted from the positive imprint of the Classic."
While the Southern Heritage Classic and other HBCU classics still attract big crowds, college sports revenue in general has become much more competitive.
"The football classics are historical in their importance to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) as a revenue source for sustainability," said Dr. Vivian L. Fuller, Director of Athletics for Jackson State University. "As the climate of intercollegiate athletics and sports change so will the classics. Twenty-five years is a true measure of the sustainability and leadership.
"The Southern Heritage Classic, over the previous twenty-two years, has not only been a significant revenue source for Jackson State, but participation in the event has also been a point of cultural and institutional pride for Tiger nation. The pageantry surrounding the Classic, including the concerts, parties, golf tournaments and the battle of the bands all lift the Southern Heritage Classic from a football game to one of the premier events on the collegiate level," Dr. Fuller said.
Some funding sources also have declined as black students have considered increased educational opportunities beyond historically black colleges and universities.
"College athletics is a much different entity than it was during the days of John Merritt at Tennessee State," said Teresa Phillips, Director of Athletics for Tennessee State University. "As top student-athletes were given the option to attend majority schools, HBCUs have found it difficult to continue to compete at the highest level. Funding issues are at the center of our circumstance. Facilities and support services abound at top athletic programs. For them, money is not really a concern while it is at the center of our daily challenges.
Ms. Phillips continued, "One of the constants for Tennessee State has been the Southern Heritage Classic. Through the leadership of Fred Jones this event has stood the test of time and has benefitted TSU directly through the strong financial guarantee paid to the athletic program and university band. Indirect benefits have also been noted through corporate relationships for the university and student recruitment. TSU has been blessed by this relationship for twenty five years and we are looking forward to another quarter of a century of involvement with the Classic. It's truly been one of the most consistent sources of external support for our athletic program during my 25 years at the university."
Jones credits the Classic's overall success and ability to evolve to its loyal sponsors. Besides FedEx – the Classic's presenting sponsor – other major sponsors include Allstate Insurance Company; AutoZone; Nike; Governor's Highway Safety Office; Carrier Corporation; and MillerCoors. While sponsorships contribute the lion's share of money for the Southern Heritage Classic, loyal alumni and other fans from across the U.S. also play a large part in the success and longevity of the annual celebration.
"When people say they enjoy the event each year it's real; it's not manufactured," Jones said. "People schedule their vacations and plan their family reunions around the Classic."
"All the Way LIVE at 25" is the theme for this year's 3-day Classic from September 11-13. Classic events scheduled for Thursday, September 11 include Gladys Knight, with special guest, Jammin Jay Lamont. Continuing on Friday, September 12, Classic events include V101's The Tom Joyner Morning Show; the Classic Music Festival – which is new this year – with performances by Charlie Wilson, Joe and Mint Condition; plus the Classic Comedy Jam starring Lavell Crawford with Dominique, Cocoa Brown and Jammin Jay Lamont. On Saturday, September 13, traditional events before the Classic game with football rivals Jackson State and Tennessee State include the Classic Tailgate – which drew more than 10,000 people last year; the Classic Parade; the Classic Fashions & Brunch; the Ed "Too Tall" Jones Golf Classic; and the Classic College Fair.

Bishop Eddie Long settles with accusers
By John Blake, CNN
Atlanta (CNN) – Bishop Eddie Long, the Atlanta-based megachurch leader, has reached an out-of-court settlement with four young men who accused him of sexual coercion, representatives for both sides said Thursday.
B.J. Bernstein, the attorney representing the men, said in a statement that the lawsuits against Long and his church have "been resolved."
Bernstein's two-paragraph statement said that neither she nor the accusers would talk about the lawsuits "now or in the future."
Art Franklin, a Long spokesman, said Thursday that the pastor settled because it "is the most reasonable road for everyone to travel."
"This decision was made to bring closure to this matter and to allow us to move forward with the plans God has for this ministry," Franklin said in a statement.
Long is an internationally known televangelist who crusaded against gay marriage, and the lawsuits against him drew national attention.
The settlement comes eight months after Long, the senior pastor of New Birth Missionary Church in Lithonia, Georgia, said from the pulpit of his 25,000 member megachurch that he vowed to fight the accusations against him, with the congregation cheering in response.
Long entered into mediation talks in February. According to news reports, the sessions between Long and his four accusers - Anthony Flagg, Maurice Robinson, Jamal Parris and Spencer LeGrande - were tense.
The suits accused Long of using his position to coerce the men into having sexual relationships with him while they were teenage members of his congregation.
The lawsuits say Long engaged in intimate sexual acts with the young men, such as massages, masturbation and oral sex.
Long took the young men on trips including to Kenya, according to the suits. He allegedly enticed the young men with gifts including cars, clothes, jewelry and electronic items.
Long's attorneys deny those allegations and maintain that the pastor was attempting to be a father figure to the youths by providing them with financial assistance and encouragement.
Though no trial will now take place, Long may face the judgment of his congregation and fans worldwide.
Shayne Lee, a sociology professor at Tulane University in Louisiana and an authority on televangelists, said Long's out of court settlement may erode some of his support.
"When you settle outside of court, it implies that there's some guilt involved," said Lee, author of "Holy Mavericks: Evangelical Innovators and the Spiritual Marketplace."
"To the average congregation in the black church, those are some very serious charges," Lee said, referring to the men's charges against Long. "You can't settle outside of court. You have to fight and roll up your sleeves, be defiant and fight it."
Since the scandal had erupted, attendance at Long's church had fallen, and New Birth officials have announced plans to lay off staff and cut Long's salary.
But Lee said it would be premature to think that Long will retreat from the pulpit.
"He can say 'I still have my anointing and I still have my ministry,' '' Lee said. "He can say that God is working out the weeds so that the tree has a stronger foundation."
The four men's accusations stunned many of Long's followers. A married man, Long had often preached about the sanctity of marriage. He once led a march against gay marriage.
Long had also cultivated a public image that was built on his machismo. He wore tight muscle shirts in the pulpit. He wrote books that compared Christian men to spiritual gladiators. He told people he had a special calling to reach men.
One Atlanta pastor predicted Long will survive the scandal because his core audience will forgive him.
"Black folks have very short memories," said the Rev. Tim McDonald, senior pastor of First Iconium Baptist Church in Atlanta. "We are the most forgiving people on the planet."
McDonald, who said he has talked privately with Long since the scandal erupted, said Long "went into a shell" after the accusations against him went public.
Before the scandal erupted, Long would often publicly criticize other black pastors, and once said they "major in storefront buildings," suggesting that they lacked the business acumen to build a megachurch like he had.
But Long had shown a different public face lately, McDonald said. His entourage wasn't as big; he was more visible in the community.
"I found him opening up," McDonald said. "If he can pick that back up and humble himself and stop saying things like, 'I ain't just another chicken-eating preacher,' he'll survive."
Lee, the Tulane sociologist, said Long will remain in the pulpit for another reason.
"This is what he knows," Lee said. "He's not going to be able to sell insurance or cars. He's cocky. He's confident. He believes in redemption."
My Take: No justice in Eddie Long's settlement
Editor's Note: Stephen Prothero, a Boston University religion scholar and author of "God is Not One: The Eight Rival Religions that Run the World," is a regular CNN Belief Blog contributor.
By Stephen Prothero, Special to CNN
The Roman Catholic Church isn't the only religious institution that has failed to respond directly and transparently to allegations of sexual impropriety.
Bishop Eddie Long, the pastor of the Georgia-based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, has just settled out of court with the four young men who alleged Long had sexually coerced them. And neither side is talking.
After the allegations surfaced last September, Long said he would "vigorously" defend himself against charges that he used a combination of spiritual authority and material enticements (cars, jewelry, cash) to curry sexual favors from the men, who were 17 and 18 at the time.
Not any more, at least not in court.
And Long's accusers won't be talking either. B. J. Bernstein, their lawyer, said yesterday that they would not discuss the matter "now or in the future."
Over the last few decades, observers of the Roman Catholic Church sex scandal have rightly argued for transparency — for taking sexual assault cases out of the hands of the secretive old boys network of priests and bishops and bringing them out into the open, including into the courts.
Why? So justice could be done, and so Catholic parents might come to feel safe once again entrusting their children to the care of priests.
American Zen centers have dealt in recent years with their own contagion of sexual abuse allegations against Zen masters, and they have done so with remarkable candor and transparency.
In December, a group of Zen leaders wrote a series of letters calling for the dismissal of Eido Tai Shimano from his position as abbot of the New York-based Zen Studies Society.
In her letter concerning the this case, Joan Halifax, founding abbot of the Upaya Zen Center in Santa Fe, did not pull any punches. She called Shimano an "embarrassment to Buddhism" and his behavior, brought to national attention last August in the New York Times, "abusive, gender-biased, predatory, misogynistic."
But she also compared the situation to "family members in a dysfunctional family," adding that the wider Buddhist community was "complicit in some way . . . as we all knew what was going on."
To be fair to Long, the case against Eido Shimano was clearer cut (recently unsealed papers at the University of Hawaii at Manoa detail decades of sexual liasons with his female students), as are many of the cases against pedophile priests. But the reason we can say that is because the evidence has come out.
In Catholicism's sex scandals, critics have commonly criticized structural issues. Rather than blaming this priest or that, they have blamed the Catholic practice of clerical celibacy. Or, in the case of a recent study by researchers at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, they blamed the permissiveness of the 1960s.
So I have to wonder whether there are structural issues in the Long case also. As names such as Swaggart, Bakker and Haggard remind us, he is not the first megachurch pastor accused of sexual abuse.
The Protestant Reformation was in part about getting away from the authority of priests and popes. Why approach God indirectly when you can do so directly, Protestants asked. Why not read the Bible for yourself?
Unfortunately, there isn't much evidence that many American Protestants today are reading scripture with frequency or care. On a battery of 12 questions about Christianity and the Bible, American Protestants got 6.5 questions right on average, for a score of 54%. Many must rely on pastors like Long to tell them what to do and think.
In her letter, Halifax discussed the dangers of "being under the spell of a teacher or person of authority." But Christians fall under that spell too. And as they do, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to imagine that their ministers might be sexual predators.
I do not know what Bishop Eddie Long did or did not do with these four young men. I will say, however, that I am predisposed in these cases to give credence to the accusations of the alleged victims, if only because I have seen sexual coercion happen so often in religious groups.
A civil trial might have changed that predisposition. And a complete and public investigation of Long's actions by the New Birth Missionary Baptist Church could have done the same.
It's a shame that neither of those things are going to happen. And those who have the most to be ashamed of — perhaps more than Long himself — are the people in the pews who come every weekend to worship him.
If you aren't familiar with Long's preaching style, you can view a sermon he gave in 2000 called "Stop the Cover Up." To which I can only say, "Amen."
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Stephen Prothero.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Lundberg assure the quality of their rice?Lundberg Family Farms is proud of their strong grower network. They regularly review their carefully selected growers, handlers and processors to ensure food safety regulations and agricultural standards are consistently met. Their strict quality requirements, which range from kernel moisture to prepared rice appearance/flavor/texture are routinely monitored from harvest through final processing and packaging. Their organic growers and rice are certified to the USDA Organic standards. All Eco-Farmed rice meets their Eco-Farmed criteria. In addition, they verify that all of their rice is not genetically engineered, through their participation in the Non-GMO Project.
Why is Lundberg so concerned with its impact on the environment?Having moved west after losing their topsoil to the devastating winds of the Dust Bowl, the Lundberg family has a special understanding of the importance of preserving natural resources, and of building and maintaining soil fertility. Since 1937, the Lundberg family has been growing rice while preserving the local ecology and fertile soils of Northern CaliforniaŌĆÖs Sacramento Valley. In an era of declining natural resources and more people to feed, we all must take responsibility for decreasing our environmental impacts.Are all of Lundberg's products Certified Organic?Lundberg is committed to farming methods that build soil fertility, protect wildlife habitat, and produce an outstanding rice product. While 70% of LundbergŌĆÖs products are Certified Organic, the company also offers Eco-Farmed products, which are farmed using a less toxic conventional approach that allows them to offer more budget-friendly products.What does Eco-Farmed mean?Eco-Farmed products utilize a combination of conventional and organic farming techniques that takes a preventive approach rather than a prescriptive one. Their strict protocol allows for a blend of organic and conventional inputs but disallows any highly toxic chemicals, rice straw burning, or continuous cropping (without resting the fields periodically). They created this system to preserve higher yields, deal with pest outbreaks, and to continue to create products for budget-conscious consumers who still demand high quality, more natural rice foods.
Is Lundberg's facility gluten-free?Yes. All of the products produced within their facilities are gluten-free which prevent their facilities from being exposed to gluten.
Farming Practices"Leave the land better than you found it," Albert Lundberg used to say. In 1937, Albert and Frances moved to California from Nebraska after experiencing the devastation of the Dustbowl. The growing and processing techniques of Lundberg Family Farms have developed out of the family's experience. Albert recognized the role short-sighted farming techniques played in the Dustbowl. He became committed to working in partnership with nature by using ecological farming techniques that care for the soil, wildlife, air and water. Albert shared his respect for the land with his four sons, who in turn passed their deep-rooted beliefs about the land onto their children. Since 1937, the Lundberg family has been faithful to Albert's farming philosophy.

Oof. That hurt. A lot.
(Serious spoiler warning for Sunday's season seven premiere of The Walking Dead. Be gone if you've yet to watch)
From Shane to Lori to Hershel to Tyreese, The Walking Dead has never been shy about ripping your heart out by killing the characters closest to your heart. Whether it's Hershel being beheaded by the Governor or Lori's gruesome death during childbirth, the writers have time and again shown you cannot afford to get overly attached to any character.
Ranking The Walking Dead's Most Important Deaths
Now that "The Walking Dead" has officially been taken over by Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan), the AMC hit series will never be the same. He took out TWO main characters in the season seven premiere: Abraham (Michael Cudlitz) and Glenn (Steven Yeun). It was bloody. It was brutal. It was awful, especially Glenn, who's been a fan favorite since the beginning of the show, and leaves behind a devastated and pregnant Maggie (Lauren Cohan).
But were they the most significant ones? We updated our ranking of TWD's most devastating deaths with Lucille's two victims...

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to fly. 15 years ago I sat at the controls of a Cessna for the first time and sealed my love for flying and for aerial photography. I have since traveled the country photographing everything from the bridges of NYC to the salt ponds of San Francisco Bay.
I grew up on a farm in the North-West US, where I fell in love with hiking and camping and enjoying the great outdoors. A trip to the South Pacific was the spark that ignited my passion for photography (and travel). As I traveled and gained experience, my work has diversified to include urban landscapes, architecture, land development, and more.
Since I love the outdoors, and 70% of it is covered by water, it is no surprise that my photography has followed my activities - including diving and sailing. I also got involved with the National Aquarium where I helped cover and document educational and sustainability programs.
I fell in love with photography while living overseas. And for all the stunning scenery, it was the people and culture that truly inspired me. Then, a chance encounter with a local theatre over 10 years ago opened the door to the technical and creative aspects of photographing people, events and performance art.
I am a commercial and fine arts photographer with a diverse background that covers everything from aerial vistas to the theatrical stage. It is this diversity, combined with an eagerness to try anything that makes my photography unique.
The view from two miles high inspires my work on the ground. The artistry and lighting of the stage influence my technical work. And following the quirky, unpredictable nature of children sharpens my timing for capturing other decisive moments like weddings and sporting events.
It is a fusion of vision, style and technique that translates into stunningly unique and unexpected images.

Let's take a simple, unsafe list flattening operation described in Generalized Algebraic Data Types and Object-Oriented Programming (GADTOOP). This can be expressed in OCaml as:
let List = struct
type 'a t = Nil | Cons of 'a * 'a t
let append l a = Cons(a, l)
let flatten la =
Cons(a, l) -> append a (flatten l)
| Nil -> Nil
The argument to flatten, la, is a list of lists of type 'a. However, there is no way to express this in C# without unrestricted equational constraints as I described earlier. Here is the translation to C# from GADTOOP:
public abstract class List<T> {...
public abstract List<T> Append(List<T> that);
public abstract List<U> Flatten<U>();
public class Nil<A> : List<A> {...
public override List<U> Flatten<U>()
{ return new Nil<U>(); }
public class Cons<A> : List<A> {...
A head; List<A> tail;
public override List<U> Flatten<U>()
{ Cons<List<U>> This = (Cons<List<U>>) (object) this;
return This.head.Append(This.tail.Flatten<U>()); }
Note how Flatten requires an unsafe, ugly cast to and from object to get around C#'s type limitations. However, there is a safe way. Here is the translation:
static class List
public abstract class t<A> {}
public sealed class Nil<A> : t<A> {}
public sealed class Cons<A> : t<A> {
internal A head; internal t<A> tail;
public static t<A> Append(t<A> l, A a)
{ return new Cons<A>(a, l); }
public static t<A> Flatten<A>(t<List<A>> l)
{ return l.head is Nil ? new Nil<A>() : Append<A>(Flatten<A>(l.tail), l.head); }
Basically, the step-wise translation I propose:
- move the generic class I into a nested generic class O.I
class I<T> {}becomes
class O {
class I<T> {}
- move the instance methods of that generic class into generic methods of the enclosing class, I.m -> O.m
class I<T> {becomes
I<T> m<U>(U u) { ... }
class O {
class I<T> {}
I<T> m<T, U>(I<T> i, U u) { ... }
- mark all relevant state of I "internal", so the outer class O can access it.
class I<T> {becomes
private T value;
public T get() { return value; }
class O {
class I<T> { internal T value; }
public T get(I<T> i) { return i.value; }
- now you can express arbitrary constraints on the type structure in the methods of O.
class O {
class I<T> {}
I<T> m2<T, U>(I<I<T>> i, I<I<U>> u) { ... }
Because the external methods do not depend on an implicit 'this' argument, we no longer need equational constraint refinements to express the required type structure. Ordinary C# types suffice!
If you squint a little more closely, you'll also note a much closer symmetry in this version of the code and the OCaml code. In fact, this translation essentially builds ML modules in C#!
Like all widely-used module systems, it's pretty clear that these modules are "second-class". Only rebinding the name is possible, via C#'s "using" directive, and everything is resolved and fixed at compile-time. By this, I mean that you can import different list implementations and it will compile cleanly as long as the other list implementation defines the same operations with the same type signatures:
using L = List;Or:
using L = AnotherList;
The compile-time restriction is primarily due to the declaration as a static class. Making the class non-static permits runtime binding of concrete implementations to signatures, so it's a little more flexible, and just as safe. Loosening this restriction may also make runtime "functors" possible.
I've used this pattern to complete Orc.NET, because the 'where' combinator required an inexpressible dependency. You can see my use in the Orc interpreter. The "Orc" object in Interp.cs is essentially an "expression builder", and I suspect that all such "builder" implementations are really ML modules at their core.
An open question is the interaction of inheritance with such modules. Seems like inheritance is a particular type of functor from structure S to S.
In any case, if you need type constraints which are inexpressible in C#, then make them ML modules using the above translation, and add object-orientedness back in incrementally. On a final note, I find it amusing that OO languages must resort to functional techniques to resolve fundamental OO limitations. I'd much prefer if we could just use functional languages instead and forgo all the hassle. ;-)

Abstract: In recent years, venture capital has increasingly become a factor in the financing of new firms. We examine how the value of mature firms determines the incentives of entrepreneurs to start up new firms and of venture capitalists to finance and advise them. We examine how capital gains taxes as well as subsidies to start-up costs of new firms affect venture capital-backed entrepreneurship. We also argue that dividend and capital gains taxes on mature firms have important consequences for start-up firms as well.

Abstract: This paper provides an assessment of Greenland's tax system and contemplates changes that may be undertaken in the future to prepare for greater economic self-reliance and for the country's participation in the wider world economy. At the outskirts of Europe, Greenland is an autonomous part of the Danish kingdom, though currently not a member of EU. However, its cooperation with European countries and its dependency on international trade renders it necessary for the tax system in Greenland to be attuned to developments in the rest of the world. Drawing on a thorough international benchmarking analysis of Greenland's tax system, the paper's special focus will be on the corporate tax system and its interplay with personal taxation, as well on as the system of import duties. In particular, we carry out computations of effective marginal and average corporate tax rates, as well as average effective tax burdens on consumption, labour income and capital income, and compare these to similar measures for EU countries. In addition, we outline how Greenland's economic policy in other areas interferes with tax policy. Especially fishery regulation, management of government-owned companies, and housing policy have major implications for the tax system.

Abstract: Levy and Arditti (1973) introduced depreciable assets into the Modigliani and Miller (1958) model, and analyzed the implications for the cost of capital. Assuming that the firm reinvests indefinitely to maintain a constant expected cash flow, they found that depreciation increases the cost of capital before and after tax. Most of their assumptions are maintained. However, commitment to perpetual reinvestment is in most cases not a reasonable assumption. Without it, depreciation decreases the cost of capital before and after tax. The effect of depreciation is less in absolute value than in Levy and Arditti, but not insignificant.

A while ago my husband and I decided to remodel our kitchen. Choosing the right kitchen cabinets was the hard part. Fortunately we stumbled upon a great kitchen contractor and they were able to help us out.
Kitchen cabinets have evolved constantly over the years. Colors, styles and costs have generally been a concern in later years when choices were availble.Today you can go mad with a bonanza of kitchen cabinets that will suit your taste, the style of your home, and your budget. .
There are a few questions to ask when looking at the installation of kitchen cabinets. Here, a look at the important things to keep in mind is discussed in order to help you chose the right style cabinets for your needs and budget.
1. Are you after something grand and custom built or something that does the job well but fits your pocket?
In this case you really need to think about what you want your cabinets to do in your kitchen. Essentially all cabinets are boxes which are fitted into your kitchen with shelves and drawers. You just get different results between the ready made, semi-custom and custom cabinets in terms of overall fit in your kitchen. Don't be confused though. This does not necessarily mean you get a difference between aesthetic in your kitchen. The material you want to use is also important to keep in mind when choosing the cabinets.
2. What are the basic kinds of cabinets you get?
This falls into three categories – ready made, semi-custom and custom cabinets. Ready made are cabinets that are simply installed and ready to use. They are your cheapest option. The costs range from between $75 – $400 per linear foot. They have a standardized height of 36 inches.
Semi-custom cabinets are chosen from a range of designs then made off-site in standard measurements. These are great if you want to add something more personal to your home. Look at paying between $150 – $900 per linear foot. In addition, these cabinets take the longest to make and deliver. Expect a wait of between 12 – 14 weeks before you can install these.
Custom cabinets are designed to fit your kitchen perfectly and the style is modeled to your specifications. The cost is anywhere between $500 – $1400 per linear foot, but cost does not mean that you have to scrimp on style. The cabinets are generally available in 6 weeks and any alterations can be made during the manufacturing process.
We ended up going with the regular kitchen cabinets because they were high quality and fit our budget.
3. Calculating costs.
This is important in order to pick which kind of cabinet you can put in your home. This is done by measuring how many linear feet you need both above and below the cabinets. Depending on whether you are installing ready made or custom a home ware consultant can give you advice about this.
4. When do you choose custom made cabinets?
This choice will be necessary in instances where you have very irregular room space or an uneven floor. It may seem expensive, but the result will be great and worth the money.
5. The choice between cabinets and open shelves.
The idea of open plan living is moving into the fore now in decoration, even in kitchens. It is tempting to use only open shelves, but remember that this means everything in your kitchen cabinets is on display. A better option is to go with cabinets at the bottom, and open shelves at the top where you can store crockery which will look stylish and not unsightly. This will save money and can look attractive if done in the right way.

Ambulance recruitment drive brings 'stunning' results
PUBLISHED: 14:25 04 February 2014 | UPDATED: 14:25 04 February 2014
Ambulance bosses say they are stunned after more than 1,200 people applied to join a new student paramedic programme in just a week.
Last week the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust launched a recruitment drive to hire 400 student paramedics.
Trust chief executive Dr Anthony Marsh said: "I'm delighted by the huge number of people, who come from all backgrounds and sections of our communities, who want to take up this fantastic opportunity to help people, often in their greatest hour of need.
"This shows great faith in the service and what we can do to help patients.
"We know we need more staff so that we can improve the care that we provide to patients and this programme will take us a long way down that road. It will help us reach our goal of having a paramedic on every vehicle which will undoubtedly increase the quality of patient care.
"As someone who trained as a paramedic myself, I know what a tremendously rewarding career it can be. Be under no illusions, it is not for the faint-hearted, but the satisfaction it brings is second to none."
The training programme for a student paramedic to qualify takes two and half years to complete and the ambulance service will then offer the successful participants full-time paramedic contracts.
As well as recruiting new students, the service is continuing to recruit graduate paramedics and qualified technicians and paramedics.
To apply, visit www.jobs.nhs.uk or follow @EEAST_Jobs on Twitter for job updates.

Former New Jersey Nets star Jayson Williams will cut a deal that could send him to prison for three years for the accidental shooting of his driver nearly eight years ago, according to a report.
The reported deal could resolve all charges stemming from the 2002 shooting at Williams' New Jersey estate in a case that has dragged out for nearly eight years.
The former Nets standout and St. John's University fan favorite who retired in 2000 after playing in the NBA for nine seasons must serve at least 18 months because a gun was involved in the crime. He will likely plead guilty to aggravated assault tomorrow, a source told the Associated Press.
U.S. & World
The jury on his 2002 trial was deadlocked over the manslaughter count and convicted him of covering up the shooting. Williams, who played for the Philly 76ers as well as the Nets, had remained free on bail.
According to witnesses, Williams was showing off a shotgun in his bedroom and snapped the weapon shut when it fired a shot, striking driver Costas Christofi and killing him. He then put the gun in the driver's hands and told everyone in the room to lie about the incident, witnesses said.
The defense said the shooting was an accident and that Williams panicked.
Williams went from the hardscrabble streets of the Lower East Side where he would dribble a basketball up the stairs of his high-rise apartment and shrug off criticism of his speech impediment to one of the city's top ball players in high school. Despite the death of his two sisters, both felled by AIDS, the young phenom went on to be a stand-out ball player at St. John's University.

4-H award winners named
● By ACL
From left: Lydia Lion, Jessica Petree, Alex DiJoseph, Leon Ressler (Penn State Extension District Director for Chester, Lancaster, Lebanon counties), 2013 Spirit of 4-H Winner Madeline Martin, Laurie Szoke (Chester County Extension Educator/4-H Resource Development); Barbara Fuller (4-H Livestock Leader/President of 4-H Advisory Committee); Chester County Commissioner, Kathi Cozzone.
Penn State Extension-Chester County and Chester County 4-H have announced the winner of the 2013 Chester County Spirit of 4-H Award.
This year's winner is Madeline Martin of West Grove. An active 4-H member for 11 years, she has distinguished herself as a teen leader, participating in county, state and national leadership activities. She served as 4-H camp counselor for the 4-H residential summer camp, as well as several other science and enrichment camps this summer. Madeline also represented Chester County this past spring at the national 4-H conference in Washington, D.C. Most recently, Madeline earned eligibility at Penn State's 4-H Achievement Days to compete at the national level with her turkey barbeque/avian bowl project.
Originally a club award of the Saddle Up 4-H Horse and Pony Club, the Spirit of 4-H Award gained county recognition in 2007 when it expanded eligibility to include all county 4-H members. With the support of the 4-H Advisory Committee, the Spirit of 4-H Award has been presented to one deserving Chester County 4-H member at the annual 4-H Fair each August.
This year, four additional 4-H members were recognized with Certificates of Achievement for their leadership contributions to their individual 4-H clubs. Alex DiJoseph of Coatesville, a member of Clever Clovers 4-H and the Robotics Club; Lydia Lion of Coatesville, a nine-year member of Gum Tree 4-H Horse Club and a State 4-H Council member; Lead Changers 4-H Club's Jessica Petree of Cochranville, and Brianna Titi of Reinholds, Pa., a member of the Pony Tails 4-H Horse Club, all received honorable mention recognition.

I ran a mile and a half without stopping at around a 4.5mph average. So, clearly I wasn't sprinting, but I was more than jogging. If I can motivate myself I'll run again tonight, or maybe take a walk with the hubbs, but honestly… reading about the super typhoon headed our way sounds so much cooler!

Joe's Place Pizza & Pasta (Arlington)
The aroma of freshly baking dough, olive oil and tomato sauce can be smelled before even entering Joe's Place. Which is exactly how it should be.The aroma of freshly baking dough, olive oil and tomato sauce hit us before we even entered Joe's Place. With its semolina walls and red trim, we felt like we were desperately trying to eat our way out of a giant bowl of spaghetti and Joe's famous meat sauce—which is exactly the way we want to leave this world.
The lasagna is another delicious way to go—layer upon layer of noodles covered in tomato sauce, creamy ricotta and mozzarella cheeses just like your imaginary (or real!) Italian grandma made. With Joe's extensive menu of pizza, pasta, subs, calzones and sauces, it can be hard to decide what to get. The joint may have pizza and pasta in their name, but their Steak & Cheese Sub is nothing to shake a stick at. It's a monster of a sandwich on delicious, fresh-baked bread. Eat your way through one of these and no Italian mother would ever accuse you of being too skinny. If you're looking for something a little less heavy, their minestrone will have you feeling like you're supping in a cozy Italian cafe. Close your eyes, and you can pretend that spring has already sprung.
Menu Highlights:
Minestrone soup, $5
Steak and cheese, $6
Lasagna, $14
Margherita pizza, $12
Potato gnocchi, $13
Spaghetti with famous meat sauce, $10
Daily, 10:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Sustained Effects of Hypertonic Saline on Mucociliary Clearance in Subjects With Chronic Bronchitis
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.

The purpose of this research study is to examine the effects of two weeks of daily dosing of inhaled salt water mist (hypertonic saline - HS) on actual measurements of mucociliary and cough clearance in patients with the chronic bronchitis type of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD.
Defective mucociliary clearance (MCC) is central to the development and/or worsening of several kinds of lung diseases, including COPD/chronic bronchitis (CB), cystic fibrosis (CF), and bronchiectasis. In each case, defective MCC leads to the development of lung infections and damage to the airways from ongoing inflammation caused by a person's inability to clear mucus from the lungs.
The investigators' previous studies have shown that the administration of inhaled HS (hypertonic saline) not only acutely accelerates MCC in CF, but also that repetitive use "resets" the baseline rate of MCC within 2 weeks. It is likely that the sustained effect of HS on MCC was responsible for the ~60% reduction in the frequency of pulmonary disease exacerbations, reduced antibiotic use and improved lung function in a long-term study of HS in CF volunteers. As a result, HS has now become a standard therapy for CF lung disease and its success raises optimism that similar benefits might occur in patients with CB.
In this study the investigators will use mildly radioactive particles, technetium bound to sulfur colloid, to measure and compare the sustained effects on mucus clearance of two weeks of daily dosing of 7% hypertonic saline versus a low salt control treatment for subjects with CB. We will also be collecting sputum and breath condensation to analyze for protein and inflammatory changes that might occur with exacerbations.
Our long term goals are to improve our understanding of MCC in health and disease and to develop better therapies that support and/or restore MCC in patients with these diseases to reduce lung infections.

Placebo Comparator: AB: 7% HS home tx, then 0.12% NaCl
Inhaled Inhaled 7% HS (hypertonic saline) home treatment' , then 0.12% sodium chloride solution home treatment.
The intervention consists of the subject receiving both concentrations of inhaled sodium chloride solution, each during a different home treatment periods. Subjects randomized to order AB will receive inhaled 7% NaCl (sodium chloride solution) mist during the first home treatment period, then 0.12% NaCL during the second home treatment period.
Other: Inhaled 7% HS (NaCl) home treatment
Administering inhaled 7% NaCl for two weeks of home treatment vs. a placebo of 0.12% NaCL during a separate home treatment period, and assessing the effects of each primarily by MCC study.
Placebo Comparator: BA: 0.12% NaCl home tx, then 7% HS
Subjects randomized to order BA will receive inhaled 0.12% NaCl mist during the first home treatment period, then Inhaled 7% HS home treatment during the second home treatment period.

Administering inhaled 7% NaCl for two weeks of home treatment vs. a placebo of 0.12% NaCL during a separate home treatment period, and assessing the effects of each primarily by MCC study.
- Measure and compare the sustained effects on mucus clearance of two weeks of daily dosing of hypertonic saline versus a low salt control treatment for subjects with CB. [ Time Frame: Approximately 11 weeks ]Using a gamma camera and inhalation of technicium bound to sulfur colloid, mucus clearance can be measured. Will do this with two different types of inhaled saline.
- We will also be collecting sputum and breath condensation to analyze for protein and inflammatory changes that might occur with exacerbations. [ Time Frame: Within 2 years after all data collection has ended ]
- Changes in lung function testing (spirometry) [ Time Frame: within 11 weeks of enrollment of subjects ]

- History of smoking (≥ 10 pack years) -
Exclusion Criteria:
Volunteers will be excluded from the study if they meet any of the following criteria:
- Uses oxygen continuously during daytime hours (nighttime use OK)
- Requires > 10mg per day of prednisone (or equivalent corticosteroid dose) chronically
- Concomitant presence of congestive heart failure, active coronary syndromes, or other disease that in the opinion of the investigator would increase the risk resulting from participation
- Recent change in respiratory medications, including acute antibiotic or systemic corticosteroid interventions within the last 4 weeks
- History of intolerance or hypersensitivity to hypertonic saline or short acting inhaled beta agonist
- Significant broncho reactivity by examination or pulmonary function testing (PFT), that in the opinion of the investigator would increase the risk of HS use
- Radiation exposure within the 12 months prior to study participation that would cause them to exceed Federal Regulations by participating in this study
- Subjects with a positive pregnancy test
- Subjects who, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator, should not participate in the study
Subjects may be temporarily excluded from screening should they experience a respiratory tract infection that requires treatment with antibiotics and/or steroids. They may become eligible for screening four weeks after completing their treatment providing their symptoms have resolved.

At just 16 years old, Riley McKenna is one of Ohio's youngest neighborhood team leaders. On Wednesday in Bowling Green, she not only saw President Obama speak for the first time in her life, she got an unforgettable hug.
A high school student with a part-time job, Riley leads a growing neighborhood team in Fremont, Ohio. She refuses to let her age or busy schedule get in the way of making a difference:
"I volunteer to make up for the fact that I can't vote. Getting out the vote is my way of making sure we keep our country moving forward. I started off phone banking and canvassing in March. That first phone call wasn't easy, but I got it used to it after a few calls. Now I enjoy talking to people in my area, getting to know them, and sharing my reasons for supporting the President."
And Riley's got a lot of reasons to support him:
"I have a lot of medical problems, from arthritis to deterioration in my spine. For a while I was even getting chemotherapy. It's important to me that we protect Obamacare—that people with pre-existing conditions can't be denied coverage.
"I'm also going to college soon, and I don't want to have to borrow money from my parents or 'shop around'. When I ask my friends to get involved, I remind them that President Obama has fought to make college more affordable for us."
For Riley, seeing President Obama speak was a "dream come true":
"I cried the whole time. He walked in and I just started bawling. Listening to his speech was amazing—it was completely different being there versus watching him speak on TV. I've been telling my friends forever that my dream was to hug the President—and it came true! He reached out and gave me a big HUG. I was in shock. I cried all the way to the car after the event."
Riley heard the President loud and clear when he encouraged the audience in Bowling Green to vote early.
"I'm going to convince my parents to vote on October 2nd. They're registered Independents, but always vote for who they believe is best for the job, and they know that's President Obama."
Riley's not sitting on sidelines, and neither should you. Commit to vote today.
