MEMPHIS, TN - (WMC-TV) – The media were not allowed inside a community gathering for Heather-Palumbo Jones. But outside St. Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, a few reflected on the dedicated teacher, parishioner, and mother.
"It was very crowded," said fellow parishioner Julie Byrd. "Actually it was a little more crowded than it normally is for a church service."
Byrd said that spoke volumes.
"It says that she was a loved individual," said Byrd.
Palumbo-Jones herself attended the church which is located just up Poplar Avenue from the Shelby County Jail. That's where her estranged husband Chris Jones now sits. He's charged with 2nd Degree Murder.
"It's tragic, but Heather was a beautiful individual and her memory will live on," said Byrd.
We also heard from the immediate family of Palumbo-Jones.
"As we grieve the loss of our daughter, friend, and mother, we are amazed by the love and support of so many individuals," said a statement released by a family attorney. "Heather was a woman full of love and light, and her impact is profoundly felt through the many lives she touched."
Among them are the young lives at Frayser Achievement School for whom uniforms will be collected in conjunction with a memorial service scheduled for Sunday. It will also take place at St. Mary's Cathedral. There's also a charity fund for Palumbo-Jones' children at any Regions Bank location.

I actually made these stars 9 years ago during our Christmas in Japan. We hadn't been able to ship anything over, and we certainly didn't have a tree so I found some gorgeous Japanese fat quarter squares and made these ornaments. I made about 80 of them and shipped half of them back to family in the states.
For a tree I cut out green card stock handprints, the bottom two rows are my husbands hands, then mine, then The Reader and finally topped off with Computer boy's hand prints! We taped them to the window, added a bunch of the ornaments and voila, a bit of Christmas in Japan!

A recipe for cooking fava beans just like a Roman
Photo: Alibaba
Scafata is a typical dish from the Italian region of Umbria made with fava beans, Swiss chard and bacon (or guanciale, if you can find it). Sometimes made with lima beans, scafata is greatly improved by using seasonal spring favas, which can be found at specialty and farmers markets. Tender and flavorful, fava beans are the perfect reminder that winter is over and a warm weather veggie bounty is right around the corner.
No need to get fancy with prep work here, scafata is a homestyle peasant dish. Feel free to chop as roughly as you like.
Don't forget to check out Alibaba's ode to fava beans — spring's most famous legume.
Servings: 2 to 4
1/2 pound shelled fava beans
3 ounces pancetta or bacon (or guanciale if you can find it), cut into cubes
1 small onion, minced
1 large handful cherry tomatoes, roughly chopped
1/2 pound Swiss chard, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
- In a large pot of salted water, boil the fava beans for 2-3 minutes and drain.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed pan, brown the onions in the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the bacon, fry for a few minutes, then add the fava beans and Swiss chard.
- Toss to combine and let it cook at low temperature with the lid on for 10-15 minutes.
- Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 10 minutes, adding hot water if it becomes too dry.
- Add salt and pepper to your liking and serve immediately.

About Lenovo
Lenovo creates and builds exceptionally engineered personal technology, but we are much more than a tech company. We are defining a new way of doing things as a next generation global company. That means we are years ahead of the game in terms of understanding what it will take to win 5, 10 years from now.
Formed by Lenovo Group's acquisition of the former IBM Personal Computing Division, Lenovo builds on its dominant position in China to grow globally. The expansion from East to West – such as by introducing our newest products in China and then spreading across the globe – is a new way of viewing the world, one we believe will be the way of the future.
That focus on the future is based on a strong history of success that is driving results today. Long the leader in China, Lenovo is growing rapidly and winning market share in all parts of the world. This balanced growth is what has made Lenovo the fastest growing major PC company and enabled us to consistently grow faster than the market.
Achieving optimal balance in all that we do is Lenovo's operating philosophy. This mindset encompasses every aspect of Lenovo's business, from balancing leadership with consensus-building, to valuing both short- and long-term thinking. As a result, we have created a balanced business model and strategy that take maximum advantage of profit and investment across both core and new businesses. The result is balanced performance and market share growth across all regions, customer segments, products and business models.
Our mission is to become one of the world's great personal technology companies. We aspire to achieve this objective by leading in three key areas:
Our Values
At Lenovo we view our culture as a critical asset as important as an effective business model. We call our culture the Lenovo Way, and at its most basic, that culture is reflected in the statement: We do what we say and own what we do.
Our values serve as the foundation of our company and define who we are and how we work. Principal among them are:
Our Heritage
Lenovo came about as the result of the merger of two of the most storied companies in technology and business: Legend Holdings in China and IBM's Personal Computing Division in the United States. The merger was heralded as a watershed event in global business with the potential for integrating two disparate cultures, languages, processes and markets.
As a result, Lenovo embodies the unique market possibilities in combining the best of East and West -- joining North American and China-based technology players in the creation of a unified global PC leader with growing market positions in developed and emerging markets alike. With more than $16 billion in annual revenue, Lenovo's market strength spans not only market geographies but also the world's consumer and business PC markets.
A Worldwide Leader
Lenovo is one of the world's largest makers of personal computers and makes the world's most innovative PCs, including the renowned ThinkPad® notebook as well as products carrying the ThinkCentre®, ThinkStation®, ThinkServer®, IdeaCentre® and IdeaPad® sub-brands.
Today, Lenovo is a global corporation with significant operations on six continents and operating in more than 60 countries and selling products in 160. Everyone at Lenovo takes great pride in our ability to attract top talent from diverse backgrounds and from around the world. We view our differences and diversity as a source of strength in building a collaborative culture that helps us achieve our goals.
We have no world headquarters and, instead, have put in place a distributed management structure that places operational hubs in centers of excellence around the world integrating this talented, diverse group into a cohesive Next Generation company.
Our multicultural management team is free to convene wherever and whenever it makes the most sense. Lenovo has operations hubs in Beijing, Raleigh, NC, and Paris, a marketing hub in Bangalore, India, and major research centers in Yokohama, Japan; Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China; and Raleigh, North Carolina.
The company employs more than 23,000 people worldwide, including 1,700 designers, scientists and engineers, representing a broad collection of nationalities and languages but at the same time working with one unified language and vision: to build the world's most exceptionally engineered personal computers.
Two Roads to Creating a PC Powerhouse
In 1981, IBM launched its Personal Computing Division which literally invented personal computing with such innovations as the first laptop computer, the precursor to the ThinkPad notebook, synonymous with innovation and quality.
In 1984, Legend Holdings was founded in China with just 11 computer scientists and $25,000 in cash, with the idea of delivering information technology more rapidly to consumers and businesses in China.
In 2003, Legend began marketing its products under the Lenovo brand, melding the "Le" from Legend with "novo," the Latin word for "new." It officially changed its company name from Legend to Lenovo a year later.
In 2005, Lenovo Group's acquisition of IBM's PC division essentially combined the market strength of Lenovo in China and elsewhere in Asia among consumers with IBM's leadership position in Europe and North America among business PC users.
In 2007, Lenovo launches the IdeaPad line of consumer-branded PC products and drops the use of the IBM logo on all its products two years ahead of schedule.
In 2008, Lenovo completed its entry into the server market with the launch of the ThinkServer™ portfolio, designed to deliver a better server experience for small and medium business customers.
Innovation: A Core Value
Lenovo owns the greatest track record for innovation in the PC industry and remains committed to innovation in its products and technology. Innovation is how Lenovo achieves competitive differentiation and drives new market opportunities, such as mobile internet, digital home and cloud computing.
Lenovo's innovation strategy is based on a two-tiered approach to solving real-world customer problems:
Lenovo operates seven research and development centers and more than 46 world-class labs, including major research centers in Yokohama, Japan; Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, China; and Raleigh, NC. The company employs more than 1,700 engineers, researchers and scientists and has received more than 100 major design awards. Lenovo's R&D centers have produced some of the world's most important advances in PC technology, ranging from the original "bento box" PC notebook design in 1992 to the 2008 launch of the innovative ThinkPad X300 "Kodachi," heralded as one of the world's lightest, thinnest and most innovative full-featured notebook PCs ever. Lenovo's commitment to innovation introduces more industry firsts and technology that sets the bar for business users as well as consumers, including:
The ultimate goal of Lenovo's R&D team is to improve the overall experience of PC ownership, while driving down the cost of ownership. The company is rich in talent, with teams that have won hundreds of technology and design awards – including more than 2,000 patents – and introduced many industry firsts:
Our Commitment to Corporate Citizenship (CSR)
Lenovo is committed to being a responsible and active corporate citizen, consistently working to improve its business while contributing to the betterment of our local communities, the environment and society overall. Lenovo practices corporate citizenship in many ways:
Our Competitive Spirit
Lenovo's thirst for excellence extends from our products to our sponsorships. The global spotlight shone brightly on the Lenovo brand during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, where the company leveraged its role as a global partner of the International Olympic Committee and presenting sponsor of the Olympic Torch Relay.
What's more, Lenovo demonstrated its technical strengths in delivering a flawless performance that met the unprecedented demand of the Beijing Games. A network of 30,000 pieces of equipment, including desktop and notebook computers, touch-screen devices and printers supported by more than 600 Lenovo engineers.
Building on the success of its sponsorships of the Beijing Olympic Games, Lenovo performed a similar role in providing technology and support for the Shanghai World Expo in 2010.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Nobel Peace Prize committee last week awarded its annual prize to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, a Hague-based agency that has been enlisted to destroy Syria's chemical stockpiles.It is a practical organization doing tangible things in the promotion of peace, and is to be commended.It is not, however, Malala Yousafzai. The 16-year-old Pakistani girl who was shot by the Taliban on her Swat Valley school bus for her outspoken life on behalf of education for girls is promoting her book, "I Am Malala," and on Friday met with President Barack Obama and his family at the White House.Yousafzai was the popular choice, and with good reason. She is the youngest person ever to be considered for the award.In her home country, jealousy over her celebrity has led to claims that she is a "pawn of the Western media," and cries of "what has she done?"I'll tell you what she's done.She grew up with a mother of great intelligence, but who cannot read or write. Her father writes poems to her, even if she cannot read them. She had the good fortune to be born to parents who celebrated her arrival, regardless of her sex. "I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain," she writes in the introduction to her book, "I Am Malala."Her father founded the school she attended. She grew up in it."My father tells me even before I could talk I would toddle into classes and talk as if I were a teacher," she wrote.For her, for a long time, just going to school every day constituted an act of courage. Even when the Taliban rose to power in Afghanistan, and began to close schools and forbid girls to receive an education, she refused to accept it. When the Taliban moved into her own village, she resisted. She and her friends hid their school bags and books in their shawls. School was her great joy."When we decorated our hands with henna for holidays and weddings, we drew calculus and chemical formulae instead of flowers and butterflies," she wrote.The day the Taliban ordered her own school closed, she wept. It was conducting night bombings of other school buildings, but her greatest desire still was to attend school every day.What has she done? At 11 years old, she was on Pakistani television, fighting for her right to go to school. On one program with a Taliban leader, she said, "How dare the Taliban take away my basic right to an education." The Taliban leader, alas, did not respond. His comments were recorded.By the end of 2008, 400 schools had been destroyed by the Taliban. The day her school closed, she woke up to documentary cameras in her bedroom. The resulting film, from The New York Times, would further enhance her international celebrity."(They) could take our pens and books," she wrote. "But they couldn't stop our minds from thinking."She became more well-known. Her father, she wrote, "started to sleep at one of his friend's houses to protect us in case the Taliban came for him. He couldn't bear the thought of being killed in front of us."Then Malala began to keep a diary for the BBC. She wrote of her daily experiences, under the pen name Gul Makai."I began to see that the pen and the words that come from it can be much more powerful than machine guns, tanks or helicopters," she wrote. ". . . I told the documentary makers, 'They cannot stop me. I will get my education if it's at home, school or somewhere else.' . . . Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human."It's difficult, in this country, to understand the hunger for education that exists in other parts of the world. It's easy to take it for granted when your schools want to spend millions of dollars on the latest gadgetry. So many kids today take their daily trek to class as a form of drudgery.That's why Malala's story is so important.What has she done? She was just riding a bus to school on October 9, 2012, after her school had reopened, when the bus stopped and two men boarded. Her words, from her book:"The man was wearing a peaked cap and had a handkerchief over his nose and mouth as if he had flu," she wrote. "He looked like a college student. Then he swung himself onto the tailboard at the back and leaned in right over us."'Who is Malala?' he demanded"No one said anything but several of the girls looked at me. I was the only girl with my face not covered."That's when he lifted up a black pistol. I later learned it was a Colt 45. Some of the girls screamed. (Her friend) Moniba tells me I squeezed her hand."My friends say he fired three shots, one after another. The first went through my left eye socket and out under my left shoulder. I slumped forward onto Moniba, blood coming from my left ear, so the other two bullets hit girls next to me.She lived. Through brain surgery. Through a medically-induced coma. Through the care of surgeons and nurses in England, where she was transported when her situation in Pakistan became dire.The world responded to her plight. Heads of state expressed outrage. What has she done? Let anyone who has done as much ask the question.She woke up in the hospital in Birmingham, England, her parents still more than a week from arriving, confused, trying to get her bearings. She scrawled on a piece of paper, "What happened to me?"Here's why the Nobel committee got it wrong. It may yet award her a Peace prize after years of work. But it will have missed a chance to recognize a young woman, a child, really, who has earned the acclaim, and who stands as an example not only of courage and intelligence, but an unabashed spokesperson for those things.Maybe it is because I have a daughter roughly her age, but there are not many contemporaries for young people to look up to today.In this country there are television stars and pop singers and whoever happens to be on the MTV Music Awards this year.Few young people in the public eye are talking about education with such passion, or in any way engaging in the struggles of the world, and certainly none with the magnitude of her story. This young girl not only already has rallied others to her cause, but will continue to do so.Yes, she had a father who saw something in her early and allowed her to speak her mind, infused her with his own strong beliefs about education, and encouraged her to speak fearlessly. Yes, she has used her opportunities in the Western media to speak for those causes. Since when are people who do that criticized?Her candidacy stirred up interest in her story, and her new book should be required reading for young people, and their parents.Her advocacy for peaceful solutions amid terrible violence deserved to be honored now, not later. It would have been a powerful statement in this moment. It would have acknowledged for a generation of young people that the time for making a difference doesn't have to wait. She's an important voice for women, yes, but why not honor her while she is an important voice for youth, as well? Timing matters.When Malala met President Obama, she not only thanked him for the honor, but spoke truth to power. She said that drone strikes kill innocent people. She urged him to find another way.She doesn't need a peace prize to do her work. Her following on social media and among those captivated by her story transcends the notoriety of any prize.When told she did not win, Taliban leaders were pleased."We are delighted that she didn't get it. She did nothing big so it's good that she didn't get it," spokesman Shahidullah Shahid told the Agence France-Presse in a phone call after the winner was announced Friday.In an earlier interview, he said, "She is not a brave girl and has no courage. We will target her again and attack whenever we have a chance."In July, Malala spoke to the United Nations Youth Assembly. Wearing a pink headscarf that had belonged to one of her heroes, murdered politician Benazir Bhutto, her nation's first female prime minister, she told the gathering, "The terrorists thought that they would change our aims and stop our ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born."She ended her speech with the words: "One child, one teacher, one pen and one book can change the world. Education is the only solution. Education First."The Nobel committee missed its moment on this one, a rare chance to reward someone in the exact moment it could do the most good. Truthfully, she didn't need the Nobel Peace Prize. But the Nobel Peace Prize needed her.Fortunately for all involved, you don't need a prize to advocate peace. Or to live it.Copyright 2013 WDRB News. All Rights Reserved.

5th Annual Speech-Language Pathology Symposium
Beyond Impairment: Planning Evidence-Based Interventions for Aphasia Using the A-FROM Model
Friday, March 21, 2014
Power Center Ballroom @ Duquesne University
Registration 8:30 Program 9:00 - 3:30
Marjorie Nicholas, Ph.D. CCC-SLP, is Associate Chair of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at the MGH Institute of Health Professions in Boston, MA. She is also the Associate Director of the Institute's new PhD in Rehabilitation Sciences Program. Prior to joining the faculty at MGH IHP, she worked for over 15 years as a speech-language pathologist and research associate at the Boston VA Medical Center where she received training in aphasia assessment and treatment under the mentorship of Harold Goodglass, Martin Albert, and Nancy Helm-Estabrooks. She has co-authored numerous research articles, assessments, and treatment materials for aphasia. At the MGH Institute she founded the Aphasia Center, operated as a clinical training site for graduate students that is open to individuals from the community who have aphasia and related neurogenic communication disorders.
Course Summary
The A-FROM model (Living with Aphasia, Framework for Outcome Measurement; Kagan, et al. 2008) describes four domains (impairment, participation, environment, personal) with the person living with aphasia at their intersecting hub. The goal of this presentation is to encourage a broadening of the scope of intervention beyond the impairment domain. Current research and treatment planning for PWA will be discussed within each domain with an emphasis on addressing the participation and environment domains.

CATEGORIES Action, Drama, Thrillers, Casting, Newsstand, Tom Cruise, Movies, CinematicalEveryone in Hollywood: stop what you're doing! TOM CRUISE IS LOOKING FOR A JOB. Please send him any and all kickass scripts you have sitting on your desks, and wait until you hear from him before filling any leading male roles. That is all.
Accord to Variety, which seems get the scoop on such things, Tom's narrowed the huge pile of submissions down, and is considering one of a trio of projects as the possible follow up to what is bound to be the great success of Mission: Impossible III. Primary among three is the 3:10 to Yuma remake about which I was freaking out just yesterday. Cruise, who became interested in the film when Collateral scribe Stuart Beattie did a rewrite on the script, would play the Glenn Ford bad-guy part. Sigh. Also his radar are a pair of dramas: Two Minutes to Midnight, an Adrian Lyne project about a man who has to find his kidnapped wife by, yes, 11:58pm, and Fool's Gold (not, disappointingly, the one James Franco just directed), about "a divorced couple who rekindle romance during a treasure hunt." That title combined with that plot are just too easy to write nasty comments about - I'm no manager or anything, but I'd cross that one off the list right away.
Say what you want about Tom Cruise, but the man is a star. Who else makes news by just flipping through some scripts?

The following strategy model for learning forgiveness is derived from an amalgam of work by several researchers and my own work as a psychologist:
1. Look deeply into the root of your anger or grudge. Explore the situation honestly without embellishing or rearranging the details. Pay attention to how this anger is holding you back and keeping you hostage in your own day-to-day [click to continue…]

Crysis 3 will punish your PC, but only if you want it to
Crysis 3 will return at least a bit of control to PC gamers when it hits next year, the developers tell Polygon.
The original Crysis was the sort of punishing, resource-hungry computer game that set a new, very high bar for PC gaming rigs when it hit in 2007. But when Crysis 2 hit in 2011 it initially took much of the user options away from PC gamers.
Crysis 3 will return to a system that can, if a gamer want it to, push a gaming rig to its limits, Carl Jones, director of business development at Crytek, told Polygon.
"What we did in Crysis 2 ... was a massive amount of optimization because we were aiming at the consoles as target platforms, we didn't dumb the game down ... actually what we did was take those high end features and optimize them so they'd run on a console," he said. "So, having got to that point, now we're back into the phase where we can add more stuff in. So for the high end PC it really is going to be a benchmarking setting game. There is no other game that is going to be pushing hardware as hard early next year."
That said, people will still be able to run Crysis 3 on the same spec computer that ran its predecessor, but if you want to see the game running on max settings you'll likely need a super high end system.
The game's New York City jungle setting is augmented by those improved graphics. In particular, I found the game's ability to present live reflects impressive. Thanks to a bit of tech trickery, pools of water can now reflect an enemy standing near by, a great tactical feature for the game.
Other improvements I noticed was the decision to broaden the "action bubbles" found in Crysis 2. In that game, the traditional linear progression of a most shooters was broken up by small sandbox areas that allowed a player to decide how they wanted to work their way through the area.
In Crysis 3, Crytek is pushing the sandbox further because, Jones said, that's where everyone was having fun in Crysis 2.
And since the game takes place in a city so overrun with nature that you sometimes forget you're not in a jungle, using stealth to turn the table on the bad guys and hunt them down is much easier. The game's inclusion of a bow also makes playing through areas quietly much easier. Players pull up the futuristic bow by tapping on the direction pad. Firing the bow, which has a number of special heads, doesn't pop Prophet out of stealth mode if he is cloaked at the time. This means players can, if they keep an eye on their suit's power, clear an entire area by sneaking around popping off shots with the bow. While I found ammo for the bow fairly limited, you can retrieve your arrows from a dead body if you can get to it.
Crytek 3 is almost as much a way to show what Crytek's CryEngine can do as it is a game, Jones said. And the tech continues to attract new developers, including some for the Wii U.
"The engine is working on Wii U," Jones said. "There are a couple of licenses and one very, very big project using CryEngine on Wii U."
While Jones declined to describe the game, he did say that it was a "very different style."
We're very excited with the partner we're working with there and what they're going to do on Wii U," he said.
As for Crysis 3, it won't be coming to the Wii U, mostly because the timing of the console's release doesn't work out for the studio, Jones said.
"The timing is the biggest issue," he said. "The engine is running, but it is so close to releasing Crysis 3 that we couldn't pull off the whole game now.
"The timing didn't quite fit."

CLAVERACK, N.Y. - Mike Cozzolino, the First Assistant Chief of the A.B. Shaw Fire Company in Claverack, lost his wedding band while fighting a destructive fire in the Village of Philmont, that resulted in the loss of an historic church last week.
Well, Cozzolino has good news to report: The wedding ring has been found, in the turnout boot.
"How it ended up there is anybody's guess. I mean who would think to look inside the boot?" Cozzolino said. "Thank you again everybody for the concern."
The wedding ring became lost while battling a fire at the Reformed Church the night of January 16th. Cozzolino has been with the Claverack department for 30 years.
After the ring went missing, Cozzolino asked the community to keep a look out for it as they made their way around the village, and unsuccessfully searched for the ring himself with his father and other firefighters.
Since it snowed on the night of the fire and the streets were then plowed, "the wedding ring could have ended up anywhere in Philmont," according to the Columbia County 911 Facebook post.
Cozzolino assumed "the ring must have come off inside my firefighting glove and then came out of the glove when it was removed. I removed my gloves at least several times during the night to wring the water out of them."
He and his wife, Robin, will have been married for 13 years on April 1, 2013.

Some business owners on Miami Circle are fighting plans by local restaurant owner Justin Amick to open a high-end bowling alley with a restaurant. It would be located in the back of Curran, a designer fabric and furniture store.
Attorney Brian Daughdrill represents the Miami Merchants Association, which is opposed to the project.
"You already have to pull to one side to let cars drive through the gauntlet and then pull back out. They are proposing putting in 400 to 600 patrons a night, you are going to put that many vehicle trips back in the fray, and you only have 50 parking spaces," said Daughdrill.
"There are enough parking spaces based on the way this is set up and that is as an entertainment facility," said Zeke Carter.
Carter is the manager of the building where the bowling alley is supposed to be built.
"I believe that it would be enough to do what they planned to do. Obviously if it wasn't and they had the opportunity, they could certainly lease some of these empty parking lots," said Carter.
Carter said valet service would ease the problem, but Daughdrill disagrees and is fighting a permit that would allow reduced parking at the site.
"Their entire operation depends on this valet entrance and that valet entrance is over an area that is the subject of a lawsuit pending in Fulton County Superior Court right now," Daughdrill said.
A hearing on the parking permit is scheduled for Thursday.

vacation rental description
Quiet, remote, escape from the big city...this is Prudence Island.
The Island offers an unhurried pace of life and is like a step back
in time. You will find no commercialism here. When you board the
ferry in Bristol, Rhode Island, leave all your stress on the dock.
If you are looking for the buzz of big city night life or the
excitement of a theme park, then you have come to the wrong place.
If you are looking for total relaxation and a renewal of your
then Prudence Island is for you.
Prudence Island is a whale-shaped island in the center of
Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island. Accessible only by ferry or private
boat, it feels like a million miles away, but is only a short
distance from Providence, Rhode Island's capital, and the mansions
Newport, Rhode Island. There are no motels, restaurants or
convenience stores, so plan on bringing everything you need. If
in-laws decide they need to pop in during your Island vacation, they
need to know in advance that there are no instant accommodations on
the Island. They will stay with you, eat the food you have brought
and deplete your toiletries. There are two very small stores that
carry some essentials, but there is no guarantee they will be
operating or open when you need them. Of course, you can leave the
Island and go to the mainland, but you may not want to.
There are several websites on the internet to help you better get a
feel for Prudence and the exciting areas around the Island to visit
during day trips. Prudence Island, The Farnham Farm, Prudence
Conservancy, Newport and Bristol Rhode Island are all good searches
to start with. Explore the Internet, then make your reservations to
explore one of the world's little pieces of heaven-Prudence

Take a few strong actors, give them some questionable motives, and throw them into a mixture of shootouts and car chases. That's about as safe a formula as Hollywood has.
It works just as designed in the frenetic thriller "Safe House."
The story isn't exceptional, but the movie rarely slows down, and the performances by Ryan Reynolds and, especially, Denzel Washington are above average.
Reynolds stars as Matt Weston, a low-level CIA operative who has spent many boring months patrolling a South African safe house that never has a resident to keep safe. Yes, he has a gorgeous French girlfriend (Nora Arnezeder), but life is otherwise so very boring.
Enter Washington, as too-cool-for-the-CIA Tobin Frost, a rogue agent who left the agency a decade ago and has since made a living — and the Most Wanted list — by selling off secrets to whoever can pay.
Frost is transported to Weston's dusty safe house, which soon proves to be anything but safe and propels the two adversaries — the inexperienced but gifted newcomer, and the slick, seen-it-all veteran — off on a thrill ride of chases and bloody fights.
Sam Shepard, Vera Farmiga and Brendan Gleeson play three CIA honchos who watch the action from afar, bickering among themselves and barking out orders. Joel Kinnaman (of TV's "The Killing") has a small but memorable role as Reynolds's counterpart in another safe house.
Reynolds, better known for his comedies such as "The Proposal," plays Matt without a smirk and earns some action-star street cred. Washington, however, is the scene stealer — a superb and charismatic villain who seems unruffled by any situation, up to and including torture.
"Safe House" has plenty of twists and turns, if not any real surprises. The action-set pieces are well-done — though dizzying at times — and the film never pauses for a breath.
"Safe House" is a safe bet if you want to see bullets, blood and action.
Rental Recommendation: Ryan Reynolds spends virtually all of "Buried" in an underground coffin, a surprising, if claustrophobic, thriller. Grade: B

It's difficult to believe that Spring Cutback is nearly finished! Later this week High Line Gardeners and volunteers will wrap this nearly four-week endeavor.
The first spring bulbs and green shoots are tentatively breaking the soil and soaking up every available drop of sunshine. As the cold weather starts to subside – and we promise it will – the High Line's landscape will transform into full-blown spring glory.
This GIF, comprised of photos by High Line Photographer Melissa Mansur, allows us to look into the increasingly green future of the Northern Spur Preserve. This small offshoot, or "spur," on the High Line once connected the active freight railway with the Merchants Refrigerating Company, a massive cold storage facility. Now, like the rest of the High Line, the Northern Spur Preserve is home to a wide variety of plants. The varieties chosen for this section of the park are especially meant to evoke the wild landscape that took over the High Line after the trains stopped running. You'll find a variety of asters, sedges, catmint, and phlox.
Pan, a mischievous-looking satyr, has been charming visitors from his perch at Gansevoort Street for nearly a year. Created by artist Sean Landers, the sculpture is part of Busted, a High Line Art group exhibition.
The High Line's planting design is inspired by the self-seeded landscape that grew up between rail tracks after the trains stopped running in the 1980s. Today, the High Line includes more than 300 species of perennials, grasses, shrubs, and trees – each chosen for their hardiness, adaptability, diversity, and seasonal variation in color and texture. Some of the species that originally grew on the High Line's rail bed are reflected in the park landscape today.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
We've completed our second week of Spring Cutback, reaching the halfway point in our effort to shear back more than 100,000 plants along the High Line. As we trim the dried shrubs and grasses of our winter garden, we make room for the green growth of spring.
See more photos from this past week below.
This week High Line Gardeners and volunteers continued to work to trim back dried grasses along the High Line and visitors rejoiced at every new colorful crocus that popped up. And it turns out that it's not just our planting beds that are getting a dose of color! We loved this bright cheery male cardinal, Cardinalis cardinalis, that High Line Photographer Steven Severinghaus spotted earlier this week. The spring season marks the beginning of their breeding season, so soon you may see them defending their territories and building nests in wooded areas or other areas of dense foliage.
Steven has an amazing talent for documenting the beautiful and subtle details of the park's ecology that so many of us miss. See his Flickr photostream for even more examples of flora and fauna from around New York City.
On Monday we began to trim back the dried grasses and striking seed heads that added beauty and texture to our gardens this long winter. This annual horticultural endeavor, called Spring Cutback, takes four weeks and involves our entire staff, as well as hundreds of volunteers. It's hard work, but there's no better way to greet spring than plant-by-plant on a park in the sky, New York City humming in the background.
See more photos from the first week of 2014 Spring Cutback below.
From the lifelike Human Statue (Jessie) to the humorous Nose Job to the perplexing Number One (from the series Heroes on the Run), the temporary High Line Art installation Busted brought together an engaging and surprising collection of sculptures by ten local and international artists. Drawing its inspiration from the dedicatory monuments of ancient Rome, this playful collection of sculptures toys with the tradition of urban landmarks in unexpected ways.
It's difficult to believe that Busted's tenure is coming to a close. Over the past year, to the delight of visitors and staff members alike, the landscape has grown up around the Busted artworks and changed over the seasons. Even the surfaces and the personalities of the artworks have transmuted over the months of sunshine, rain, and snow. No matter what season, Busted is a great reminder of the unique experience of a four-season "sculpture garden" that the High Line offers.
Stop by before the beginning of April to see Busted one last time. Don't despair its departure though, we also have a new group exhibition to look forward to this spring: Archeo.
Follow @highlineartnyc on Instagram for more photos of Busted.
After enduring months of bitter cold and snow, we're delighted by any sign of spring. But of all the pretty plants that herald winter's end, the crocus is our favorite. The prolific member of the Iris family grows throughout the High Line, so you're more likely to come across a crocus in our park this spring than you are a daffodil or snowdrop. And we're utterly charmed by these bold little flowers that bloom while snowstorms loom in the forecast ; they seem to leap out of the earth ready to declare that spring has finally, truly arrived.
It's time that these pint-sized plants received an outsize welcome. We'll be sharing crocus images on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the dramatic hashtag #CrocusWatch2014, and we've even created a Pinterest board devoted to these lovely blooms. Whether you spot a crocus on the High Line or in your own backyard, we invite you to join the fun and use #CrocusWatch2014 when sharing your pictures.
This week we share one of our gardeners' current favorites with you.
Stay Connected with the High Line

Capri Sun was Riley Anne's favorite drink, until yesterday.
As she described it, "I drank it and I spit it out and I didn't know what it was so I asked JC".
"JC" is her uncle, James Stoddard. He bought the Capri Sun at Costco Waipio a few weeks back, like he has done countless times before.
"It's always been the family drink" he says of the product.
However, the family drink turned into a family nightmare after he grabbed the pouch from Riley Anne, picked up a pair of scissors and headed to the sink.
"I ended up cutting up the bag, and it had mold in the bag" he said.
The discovery left him shaken.
"I was just grossed out, disgusted by it, to see how that can be in somebody's drink or food. You never think anything of it until it hits this close to home, and when it hits home that's when you actually think 'oh my god, I don't want to buy Capri Sun products anymore'".
There are several documented cases of people finding mold in Capri Sun. So many, that the company actually has a disclaimer about it on its website.
The disclaimer on the site reads in part:
"Although it's extremely rare, because Capri Sun does not contain any artificial preservatives, something many moms appreciate, it is possible for food mold to grow inside a pouch that has been punctured and is exposed to air. What usually forms is a common food mold similar to what might grow on fruit or bread. In the past, experts have told us there are no significant or long-term health effects associated with consuming this type of mold, though we understand how bad of an experience it can be for a child to drink."
James went to the Capri Sun Facebook page, and posted a photo of the mold on their wall. They responded with an introductory private inbox message. James is still waiting to see what course of action the company takes to make up for the suffering his niece endured.
Regardless of what happens, James says he's rethinking his brand loyalty.
"You don't want to go back to it. I just have to find a different alternative".

With yet another controversial call going against the Phoenix Coyotes, how much blame should NHL referees get?
It's summer and things are moving along at summer's pace: a lurch and a stall. But there's still plenty to talk about in the world of hockey. Your links for this week.

NHL fans have grown increasingly frustrated with the inconsistent nature of the quality of officiating in hockey over the years. With a sport that is moving faster and faster with bigger hits and...
Linking to a past post chronicling the absurdity of NHL officiating. How little has changed in three seasons is unnerving.
The Dallas Stars got poor performance from their power play and penalty kill in their 2-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche and other news and notes from around the NHL.
2011 had a year of stories for the sport of hockey, but which one was most important to the game? Raw Charge's staff opines on what they found to be the biggest story of the past year.
Following a tumultous run, Colin Campbell is stepping down from his role as head disciplinarian for the NHL and will likely be replaced by Brendan Shanahan.
Tampa Bay Lightning fans are understandably frustrated by the on-ice officiating. But it's no worse than usual.
Colin Campbell's memo warning that enforcement of diving will "ramp up" is another disturbing example of NHL situational officiating.

BOSTON -- The Red Sox will welcome a familiar face back into the clubhouse on Monday in Minneapolis, when first baseman/outfielder Lars Anderson is promoted from Triple-A Pawtucket.
Anderson spent time on the Major League roster the last two seasons, hitting .175 with no homers and four RBIs in 40 at-bats.
The prospect has been knocking on the door for a couple of years and had a big Spring Training, hitting .343 with one homer and eight RBIs.
Anderson will fill the roster spot vacated by outfielder Jason Repko, who is going on the disabled list with a separation of his left shoulder, an injury sustained making a spectacular catch on Friday against the Yankees.
A first baseman by trade, Anderson started getting some reps in the outfield during Spring Training, and he's played there a bit for Pawtucket.
"We'll talk to him about it," said manager Bobby Valentine. "We'll get the reports. He's here in case I want to use him in the outfield, maybe as a pinch-hitter, left-handed bat."
In other health news, third baseman Kevin Youkilis has recovered nicely from a left quad contusion that knocked him out of Saturday's game against the Yankees. He would have started on Sunday had the game not been rained out.
Red Sox newcomer Byrd 'ready to win'
BOSTON -- Marlon Byrd reported to his new home just in time for a rainout against the Yankees, but he'll be ready to go for the Red Sox when they get to Minneapolis for a three-game series that starts against the Twins on Monday night at 8:10 ET.
Among Byrd's first priorities will be to snap out of the early-season funk he was in with the Cubs, with whom he produced just three hits -- all singles -- in 43 at-bats.
"I was swinging very well, but when you look up there and don't see results, it's hard to tell," Byrd said. "My last game, I hit the ball hard three times -- two at people, and the last one was a great catch by Jay Bruce. It's just baseball; you've got to keep plugging away."
By coming to Boston, the veteran outfielder hopes he can finally see what it feels like to play for a team that reaches the postseason.
"It's nice -- real nice," said Byrd. "I went through a building mode in Philly, a rebuilding mode in Washington, a rebuilding mode in Texas. Philly ended up winning. Texas is winning. And then Chicago, I came there with the thought of winning and it just didn't work out. To come over to a team that is ready to win, it's a great feeling. I haven't been to the playoffs -- that's one of my goals, to get to the playoffs this year."
With Carl Crawford and Jacoby Ellsbury both on the disabled list, Byrd is hoping to help fill that void.
"Things happen for a reason," Byrd said. "Of course they didn't want Jacoby getting hurt, but there's a reason that I'm over here. While I am over here, I'm going to make sure I do everything I can, bring my energy, play hard, play my defense, hopefully get some big hits and just get this team back on the right track."
Byrd made assurances that he holds no ill will toward new teammate Alfredo Aceves, who hit the outfielder just above the right eye last May, causing fractures that left him out of the lineup for nearly six weeks.
"Yeah, I talked to him," Byrd said. "He sent over his apologies last year when it happened, right away. Also, he sent them to the clubhouse, sent them to the hospital. And I accepted. We haven't talked yet, but there's nothing to talk about. It wasn't anything malicious. He wasn't trying to hit me.
"With [former Red Sox catcher Jason] Varitek, I know he likes going in, up high with two strikes. The ball just slipped out. I didn't get out of the way. It's just one of those things. We're teammates now."
Valentine says he needs to do better
BOSTON -- Following Saturday's crushing loss to the Yankees, in which the Red Sox blew a nine-run lead, general manager Ben Cherington praised manager Bobby Valentine for the job he has done early in the season.
But rather than accept the pat on the back, Valentine said he needs to do better.
The Red Sox are 4-10 as they head to Minneapolis for the start of a seven-game road trip.
"I'm not satisfied with the job [I've done]," said Valentine. "I don't need to hear from Ben or ownership or fans or anyone else. I need to do better. In every way."
Valentine says you just need to look at the standings to see what kind of job he's done.
"The record is the only thing I'm judged on," he said. "That's kind of how I judge myself. Pretty high standard. There's been some good things. Just like players. Some of the guys who are in slumps have actually played pretty well at times. I don't accept four wins in 14 games."
After Saturday's game, Cherington, assistant general manager Brian O'Halloran, owner John Henry and team president/CEO Larry Lucchino huddled with Valentine.
"I think when people get together and discuss what is a real situation or a problem, the best comes out of it," Valentine said. "You figure out collectively things that should be done, always."

NASA at 50: A local editorial
This morning I opened my Internet newspaper (Columbus Dispatch) and read the following editorial:
What next for NASA?
Glittering past, dull present, murky future mark agency's golden birthday
Saturday, March 8, 2008 2:55 AM
This year, on its 50th anniversary, NASA has many successes to celebrate, but it also faces a big challenge: offering a compelling vision for the future.
In recent years, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration seems to have run out of steam. Setbacks since the mid-1970s sometimes have overshadowed the agency's thrilling early days.
NASA has been the government agency that has given the taxpayers the most dazzle for the buck, firing up huge rockets that propelled Americans into Earth orbit and then on to the moon.
Ohio has long and strong links with NASA. John Glenn became the first American to orbit Earth and Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon.
But the glory of those early years has eluded NASA since. The moon missions, now nearly 40 years past, appear to have been an ending rather than a steppingstone to the universe.
Vice President Spiro Agnew convened a space task force in 1969 that recommended a manned mission to Mars, a lunar base and a reusable shuttle to go back and forth. But the nation had other priorities, and the only thing that Congress approved was the shuttle, which has been universally decried by aerospace engineers as a terrible replacement for the Saturn V moon rocket. The shuttles are overly complicated, hugely expensive to maintain and grow more dangerous with age. When shuttle missions attract widespread attention, it's often because something has gone wrong.
The lack of momentum has been devastating to morale among NASA engineers and it has been deadly to Americans' interest in manned space exploration.
In 1964, the total federal budget was $132.6 billion; NASA got $5.1 billion of that, or about 4 cents of every tax dollar. Adjusted for inflation, that would be about $34 billion today. But for 2009, NASA will get $17.6 billion, or 0.56 percent of the proposed federal budget. One month of waging war in Iraq costs $10 billion.
Many Americans might not realize this, but the U.S. no longer has the tools to return to the moon. The shuttle was not designed to go there, and the Saturn V rocket's production sites were mothballed in the early 1970s. The generation of engineers that designed and launched the Saturns likewise faded from the scene.
Further, once NASA retires the shuttle in 2010 and while it awaits the development of a new spacecraft in 2015, astronauts will have no way to reach orbit. They will have to hitch rides on private commercial spacecraft or rely on the kindness of the Russian space program to get them to the International Space Station.
Once the new craft, the Crew Exploration Vehicle, is ready, the next frontier is the Constellation missions, which are intended to put people back on the moon by 2020. Astronauts are to build a lunar base by 2025, eventually using it as their springboard to Mars, by 2037.
But this is President Bush's program, so it might not outlast his departure from office next year. Even when he unveiled the proposal, it provoked little interest in a nation more worried about health care, terrorism and wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
While the shuttle missions have been marked by tragedy, one of NASA's greatest recent successes has been unmanned exploration, namely, the wholly unexpected and remarkable careers of the two Mars rovers, which have have remained functional for 16 times longer than their three-month life expectancy. This success fuels a long discussion about whether space exploration is best conducted with manned missions or by machines such as the rovers.
In its early days, NASA's stimulus was the competition with the Soviet Union, and its focus was crystal clear. Since then, the agency has been less adept in defining and articulating its mission in a way that energizes public support. Is its purpose space exploration? Science? Aeronautics research? NASA should use its 50th anniversary to explain itself and remind Americans why space exploration is still important.

In response to last week's question on whether interns add value to a work place or just become a hindrance, readers bat for students and call for strong mentoring by employees.
Internship is crucial to give hands-on experience to the student who is full of enthusiasm to have a feel of the work environment. Here the feelings of the regular employees are immaterial. They have no option but welcome the young apprentices.
For this to happen, the employees themselves must be trained to consider the interns as a part of the organization for the brief period that they are there. They should consider it their duty and responsibility to give a lasting and positive experience to the budding managers or engineers.
The interns in turn should have a positive outlook and not be put off by initial setbacks. After all, some adjustment is called for by both sides, for an enriching experience for both.
Sandhya Vasudev
Limit numbers
In the present scenario, interns are impediments to work. For one simple reason, that they are so many.
One can give quality training to at the most two or three students in one season, but these students come in hoards.
These interns have no prior knowledge of the work-place, which is quite understandable. They need to be guided properly, not only about the work, but also about the safety aspects at the work-place. If they come in unmanageable numbers, the quality of training is sure to suffer.
The best way to guide the interns would be to limit their number. Total responsibility of a batch of interns should be assigned to an employee of the organization. These mentor-employees should be rewarded for this extra job --- some sort of recognition, or cash award, or whatever the management deems fit. The colleges also should do their bit in rewarding such mentors, by inviting them to their institutes for guest-lectures etc. Colleges can also offer opportunity for enhancement of educational qualifications to the employees of the organization.
If this takes place, then internship would become a win-win opportunity for the interns, employees and the organization.
Madhu Sinha
Valuable resource
It depends a lot on how the organization looks at the interns, and the kind of work on offer. If you consider sales/marketing interns, they are of real value to the hiring organization as they can generate sales or do market research. As the activity is not seasonal, they can do the same work with more or less similar quality at low cost or no cost to the company.
A knowledgeable company can employ an intern in many useful departments for worthy jobs.
Venu Puttamraju
Useless without mentoring
Iternships are usually a frustrating experience for students, as they are usually treated as a burden and an impediment in the job process. That is because mentoring , which is part of imparting knowledge to the next in line, is not followed as a process in most organizations in India.
The entire Internships process needs a paradigm shift, by converging academia and corporate training methods. HR teams should take the initiative in understanding the inputs the students bring in. People in the organization should understand and be open to change.

A fire heavily damaged the inside of a Lehigh Acres home early Friday morning.
According to the Lehigh Acres Fire Department, the fire apparently started in the garage of the home at 908 Edison Avenue and flames were shooting from the roof when firefighters arrived around 4:15 a.m.
A smoke detector was present in the home but did not go off. One adult resident in the home smelled smoke and woke the two other adult residents in the home and they were able to escape through a bedroom window.
Tanner Lucas, 17, says he suddenly woke to smoke in his eyes and a burning throat - and knew instantly something was wrong.
"I was like, 'Where is there smoke in the house? What's going on?' Then I realized, oh there's a fire. I need to tell dad and make sure they're OK," he said. "I don't feel like a hero. I did what I had to, to make sure everyone was safe."
The fire was quickly put under control by firefighters. But the family now says the house is a total loss.
Investigators believe the fire was caused by an electrical problem in the air handler in the attic of the home.
Firefighters say this is
a good lesson in checking your fire alarms to make sure they work - even if
they are hard wired in your home.

A mistrial was declared in the case of a man accused of killing a Charleston woman in 2010.
Maurice Davis is accused in the 2010 murder of 23-year-old Latosha Greer of Charleston.
Police found Greer's body in the backyard of a home in the 300 block of Walhausen in December 2010.
His case was moved to Cape Girardeau County on a change of venue.
A mistrial was declared Tuesday because the number of jurors was insufficient to impanel a jury, according to Mississippi County Prosecutor Darren Cann.
The case will reappear on Jan. 14, 2012 to obtain a new trial setting.

The Captain – sorry Jeter – will throw out the first pitch tonight before the Rangers take on the Yankees tonight in Arlington. If you're headed to the game, keep a look out for the Captain and the Morganettes as they'll be headed around the ballpark partying with fans tonight.
