My husband calls me multiple times per day from work. He calls on his break time, at lunch time, and then before he leaves to come home. He's done this our entire marriage. As a chica who values her space, sometimes I've become annoyed because I felt he was being controlling but he insists he just misses me, and so I've grown accustomed to it. At this point, if he doesn't call me for some reason, I become worried that something has happened to him.
Well, my husband has been working at the new job for a month now and the Mexican guys he works with have become comfortable enough with him to give him a hard time. They've noticed his phone habits and now they tease him. While we're on the phone, his co-workers do lewd things with bananas from their lunch boxes. Then when he gets off the phone with me they ask him, "So, how is your woman? Is the lechero doing a good job with her?" (They think he is checking on me for macho reasons, so they like to insinuate that I'm not faithful in the hopes of getting him a bit riled up, I guess.)
Yesterday, the littlest guy in the group, Marcos, decided to tell a joke which he dedicated to Mr. López. I don't know if he made it up or not. Here it is:
There is a man who is unemployed and his wife is complaining to him that he needs to find work. She nags him all morning to hurry up and get dressed and go job hunting. She pushes him out the door with a quick kiss on the cheek saying, "Good luck, my love! … Remember, don't come back until you've found work."
So the husband leaves but shortly the doorbell rings and another man arrives. The woman begins kissing him passionately as soon as he comes in the door. They go to the bedroom, but then the doorbell rings again.
"Hurry!" she says, "Go hide up on the top of the canopy of the bed and don't come down until I say so."
So the man climbs up to the top of the bed and hides.
Another man is at the door. He comes in and the woman begins kissing him passionately, too. They come into the bedroom but soon they hear the front door opening.
"Quick!" she says, "Go hide under the bed and don't come out until I say so."
So the second man crawls under the bed and hides just in time before the husband comes in.
"What are you doing home so soon?" the wife says. "I told you not to come back until you found work!"
The husband comes into the bedroom, throws his keys on the table and takes off his jacket. "I looked everywhere already. There's no work out there."
The wife begins to nag him, "But how will we pay the rent and all our bills? We don't have enough money!"
The husband hugs his wife and reassures her, "Don't worry, The Big Man Upstairs will take care of it."
The man on top of the bed speaks up, "Hey! If I have to help with the bills, the guy under the bed has to chip in, too!"

The strongest stretcher in our assortment, UltraStretch, has a maximum load of 400 kg (880 lbs) but still weighs only 13.2 kg (29 lbs)! This makes the stretcher extremely easy to handle.
UltraStretch is used together with the overhead lift system UltraTwin, which consists of two interconnected Likorall motors. Therefore, the stretcher also has two fixture points which always have to be used together.
The overhead lift system can be either ceiling/wall mounted or free-standing in FreeSpan UltraTwin (rail width 80 cm/32 in).
Thanks to the fact that the overhead lift motors are manoeuvred individually, it is easy to adjust the patient's position and, for instance, raise or lower the head end if necessary.
The weight-bearing section of UltraStretch consists of
Just like little brother FlexoStretch, UltraStretch has adjustable arms, which enable individual adjustment of the suspension of the lift sheet or lift straps for each patient.
The stretcher is installed with Liko Quick-Release Hook System; therefore the lift must be equipped with Q-link fastener or Quick-release Hook Adapter.
Maximum Load: 400 kg (880 lbs)
From the very beginning consideration for those for whom we develop our products has been our most important guiding-star. Our concept reflects our vision in our daily activity - always to improve life quality for patients and caregivers globally.

Annette Funicello, Mouseketeer and film star, dies at 70
Actress Annette Funicillo, the most popular Mouseketeer on "The Mickey Mouse Club," who went on to a successful career in records and '60s beach party movies, died Monday, The Walt Disney Company said. She was 70.
She died peacefully at Mercy Southwest Hospital in Bakersfield, Calif., of complications from multiple sclerosis, according to the company.
The official Disney fan club tweeted this message Monday:
Funicello stunned fans and friends in 1992 with the announcement about her ailment. Yet she was cheerful and upbeat, grappling with the disease with a courage that contrasted with her lightweight teen image of old.
The pretty, dark-haired Funicello was just 13 when she gained fame on Walt Disney's television kiddie "club," an amalgam of stories, songs and dance routines that ran from 1955 to 1959.
Cast after Disney saw her at a dance recital, she soon began receiving 8,000 fan letters a month, 10 times more than any of the 23 other young performers.
When "The Mickey Mouse Club" ended, Funcillo was the only club member to remain under contract with the studio. She appeared in such Disney movies as "Johnny Tremain," "The Shaggy Dog," "The Horsemasters," "Babes in Toyland," "The Misadventures of Merlin Jones" and "The Monkey's Uncle."
She also became a recording star, singing on 15 albums and hit singles such as "Tall Paul" and "Pineapple Princess."
She gained even more popularity when she starred with Frankie Avalon in a series of "Beach Party" movies in the mid-1960s, including "Beach Party" (1963), "Muscle Beach Party" (1964), "Bikini Beach" (1964), "Beach Blanket Bingo" (1965), and "How to Stuff a Wild Bikini" (1965).
She and Avalon staged a reunion in 1987 with "Back to the Beach." It was during the filming that she noticed she had trouble walking -- the first insidious sign of MS.
When it was finally diagnosed, she later recalled, "I knew nothing about (MS), and you are always afraid of the unknown. I plowed into books."
Her symptoms were relatively mild at first, but gradually she lost control of her legs, and she feared people might think she was drunk. So she went public with her ordeal in 1992.
She wrote of her triumphs and struggles in her 1994 autobiography, "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" -- the title taken from a Disney song. In 1995, she appeared briefly in a television docudrama based on her book. And she spoke openly about the degenerative effects of MS.
"My equilibrium is no more; it's just progressively getting worse," she said. "But I thank God I just didn't wake up one morning and not be able to walk. You learn to live with it. You learn to live with anything, you really do."
In 1965, Funicello married her agent, Jack Gilardi, and they had three children, Gina, Jack and Jason. The couple divorced 18 years later, and in 1986 she married Glen Holt, a harness racehorse trainer.

In Navajoland, a contentious water deal divides the tribe
The Navajo Nation sprawls across about one-tenth of the nearly quarter-million-square-mile Colorado River drainage. But ever since the seven states that depend on the river met to divide its water 88 years ago, the tribe has been pushed into the shadows of river politics. About 40 percent of the reservation's roughly 170,000 residents still don't have drinking water piped into their homes and must haul it from miles away.
For years, the tribe has been asserting its right to Colorado River water through a series of legal settlements with the states of New Mexico, Arizona and Utah, each of which includes a portion of the Navajo Reservation. In 2004, the Navajo Nation received rights to 326,000 acre-feet of water from New Mexico; negotiations with Utah are inching closer to completion.
And, in November, the Navajo tribal council approved a deal with Arizona for the right to water from the Colorado River and one of its tributaries, and from two giant aquifers that lie beneath the reservation. Equally important, the settlement includes $693 million to build the pipelines and other infrastructure needed to get water to 20 reservation communities.
But some Navajos are angry about what's not in the settlement: A lot more water. Given the tribe's bitter history of being cheated out of its resources, they believe it should have demanded millions of acre-feet more water, based on treaty rights. "Every time there's a resource found on the reservation, they come after it, like the uranium," says Ron Milford, a principal organizer of opposition to the settlement. "We really got scammed big time."
In order to reach an agreement, however, the tribe had to scale back its water claim in exchange for the money that's needed to actually put the water rights to use, says Stanley Pollack, an assistant attorney general for the Navajo Nation and the tribe's main water negotiator. "Beating your chest and saying that you're entitled to X amount of acre-feet doesn't get water to the people," he says.
In 2003, the Navajo Nation filed a lawsuit that put Arizona and other major water users on notice that the tribe was finally coming after its water. Much of the water needed to satisfy a Navajo claim would have to come from Arizona's 2.8-million-acre-feet share of the Colorado, and most of that was already in use. There is considerable controversy over the matter, but some ambitious commentators have suggested that the tribe could make a claim of 5 million acre-feet or more. Such large claims would require proving that much of the Navajo Reservation could be "practicably" irrigated, but if successful, they would tear the heart out of the water supply on which the rest of the state's economy depends.
Partly to forestall that possibility, state negotiators boxed in the Navajos' bargaining options. In 2004, the Arizona Water Settlement Act designated a chunk of Colorado River water to satisfy outstanding tribal claims. Today, there's just 42,300 acre-feet water unclaimed under that law, and 31,000 acre-feet of that will go to the Navajo.
That's not the only water the tribe will receive; it will also get up to 161,000 acre-feet from the Little Colorado, depending on its water level, plus rights to pump from the two aquifers. But even though the tribe could theoretically lease its Colorado River water to Phoenix and Tucson, the terms of the deal prohibit it from doing so with its much larger supply of Little Colorado River water and groundwater. Milford notes that such leasing could have generated significant revenue for the Navajo Nation, which desperately needs the income. (In recent years, at least half of the reservation's residents have been unemployed.) "Once (the surplus) goes down the Colorado River, it's going to make its way to Phoenix," he says, "and they're going to bank it, free of charge."
The Navajo settlement is "a big step," says Herb Guenther, who headed the Arizona Department of Water Resources until retiring in January. Since 2003, the Central Arizona Project, which supplies Phoenix and Tucson, has been unsettled by the possibility that the Navajo could get more water. "It gives us a lot more certainty on the Central Arizona Project water supply," he says.
It is by no means certain when, or if, Navajos will see "wet water" from the deal, which still needs to be approved by the Hopi Tribe, the Arizona Legislature, and, most importantly, Congress, which will be responsible for funding the water projects.
Still, former tribal President Joe Shirley, who signed the settlement before he left office this January, says that the Navajo Nation holds a trump card: The tribe can sue to stop any new water allocations to other Arizona users until the settlement is funded. "If Congress balks," he says, "we're back to square one: litigation."

HBO's 'Silicon Valley': Dress code for geek chic
HBO's 'Silicon Valley' a platform for geek chic - from hacker hoodies to VCs in V-necks
Even in the land of fleece and hoodies, there is a dress code of sorts - a set of unofficial uniforms that differentiate engineer from designer, product manager from salesperson, VC from CEO.
In "Silicon Valley," the eponymous HBO show premiering next Sunday, this does not go unnoticed.
Take the show's programming types: "The brogrammers, they all wear shirts that show off their muscles," said Daniel Orlandi, the show's original costume designer. "But they only concentrate on the top. They all have skinny legs."
"Silicon Valley" is a show about a group of engineers - now embracing the term "hackers" - all bunking in a hacker house while mining for startup gold. Based in part on creator Mike Judge's own time as a Silicon Valley engineer in the late '80s, the show is liberal in poking fun at techie tropes: When a group of cute girls approaches at a party, it turns out they're paid to be there; the employees at Google-like company Hooli ride a giant white company bus to get to the office.
But in Judge's vision of Silicon Valley, style is also an important language, one that conveys to viewers the show's (and the valley's) social hierarchy.
The show's main character, Richard, is the "prototype young Silicon Valley guy," Orlandi said. Richard has a big idea for an algorithm that will change the way we all search online. His Zuckerberg-esque hoodie is a ubiquitous prop (it's even written into the original script).
"I think at one point he wears it with a tie," said Orlandi. "The hoodie is like Silicon Valley's sport coat. That's not even funny; it's the truth."
Among the show's hacker hostel crowd, worn-in attire is favored. Richard, for example, is supposed to look as if he were still wearing the clothes his mom bought for him before he dropped out of college and went west. The team shopped at thrift stores and washed clothes with sand to give them that thousand-years-old appeal.
Overall, it's all about comfort, utility and cost. There are a lot of random logo T-shirts among this crowd - "if they're giving out a free T-shirt in (Silicon Valley), there's a line," Orlandi said.
Brogrammers - athletic alpha-nerds, the apparent popular guys of HBO's tech world - get tops in stretchy fabrics and nicer, crisply cut jeans. A CEO wears minimalist button-downs and dark, V-neck sweaters, channeling a sort of corporate-Buddhist vibe.
The production staff spent months surveying the local landscape for aesthetic inspiration, with hours logged at Google, Facebook, Zynga, Apple and even Dell.
"You're looking at all the details," said production designer Richard Toyon. "The hairstyles, what kind of hardware they're carrying, their shoes, backpacks."
One key observation became a plot point. When the business manager of Richard's newly minted startup wants to fit in better with the hacker crowd, he dons a Patagonia vest over his slacks and button-down.
"Patagonia was clearly very important," said Toyon. "You walk around University Avenue and look at all the people wearing Patagonia during the day. It's kind of crazy."
For Orlandi, a major source of inspiration was photos of the Glint, early Facebook investor Peter Thiel's hacker mansion atop Twin Peaks. He said the images of parties and the guys who were staying there informed his wardrobe choices.
"They all look the same," Orlandi said of the tech guys. "There's sort of a reverse snobbery about the clothes. They seem very normal."
In the end, he said, "the hacker way" is to dress like you don't care (even though you really do).
"It's that whole thing where you want to fit in and not be noticed," he said. "If you said, 'What a nice shirt,' I think some of these guys would be mortified."

SEATTLE — The Angels lost to the Seattle Mariners, 4-3, Sunday in Safeco Field, but they didn't go down without a fight … among themselves.
Struggling right-hander Joe Blanton knocked a water cooler off the bench and snapped at pitching coach Mike Butcher in the dugout after the fourth inning, the lowlight of an afternoon in which the Mariners completed a three-game sweep that dropped the Angels 11 games behind first-place Oakland in the American League West entering the All-Star break.
Blanton has been one of the worst pitchers in the majors, with a 2-12 record, 5.53 earned-run average and a major league-leading 23 home runs given up, and the cumulative frustration of his season seemed to get the best of him Sunday.
BOX SCORE: Seattle 4, Angels 3
Blanton's anger after giving up a run in the fourth stemmed from a "miscommunication" between him and catcher Chris Iannetta, though Blanton, Iannetta, Butcher and Manager Mike Scioscia would not say what the miscommunication was.
"Any time things aren't going well, it kind of brings everything to a little volcano or whatever you want to call it," Blanton said. "It's a long season. You're out there competing. Things happen. Guys get mad for giving up runs, for striking out, for a ton of different reasons. That's part of it sometimes."
The incident, captured by television cameras, appeared to involve Blanton and Butcher, "but it was a miscommunication between two different people," Butcher said. "I was trying to get between the two. I was trying to get Joe out of the dugout."
Said Iannetta: "It was something between us. We got over it pretty quickly. Once we talked about it, it wasn't that big of a deal."
A bigger problem for Blanton on Sunday was that he had no feel for his changeup and curve and was essentially reduced to one pitch, his fastball.
That didn't work too well, as Blanton gave up a two-run home run to Michael Saunders in the second inning, a sacrifice fly to Mike Zunino in the fourth and a run-scoring double by Raul Ibanez in the fifth.
Michael Kohn bailed out Blanton in the fifth inning, entering with runners on second and third and none out and striking out Kendrys Morales, Justin Smoak and Saunders to keep the score at 4-1.
"Actually, the command of my fastball wasn't that bad," Blanton said. "But if all you can throw is a fastball, it makes it tougher."
Right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma, who had a 6.83 ERA in his previous five starts, gave up three runs and seven hits in seven innings, striking out seven, to improve to 5-0 with a 1.49 ERA in seven games against the Angels.
Mark Trumbo hit his team-leading 21st home run, a solo shot in the fifth inning, and the Angels pulled to within 4-3 in the sixth inning when Mike Trout singled, Howie Kendrick doubled and Alberto Callaspo followed an intentional walk to Trumbo with a two-run single.
But with runners on first and third, Iwakuma struck out Iannetta to end the inning. Albert Pujols led off the eighth with a double, but Charlie Furbush got Josh Hamilton to pop to third base and Kendrick to fly to right field and struck out Trumbo.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew held a news conference Monday, but he couldn't speak about the biggest story surrounding him. He was told by lawyers not to discuss his alleged involvement in a May 26 fight at a Florida restaurant.
Jones-Drew said that an "unfortunate incident" occured, but otherwise he couldn't speak about it. He did regret bringing negative attention to the team.
"It's a big distraction, and I never want to be a distraction to this team, period," Jones-Drew said, via The Florida Times-Union.
The off-field issue added another layer of uncertainty to a highly uncertain offseason for Jones-Drew. He's coming off Lisfranc surgery on his foot, which will prevent him from participating in mandatory minicamp this week. Jones-Drew said his recovery is on pace, and he's lost a few pounds after reportedly showing up to offseason workouts out of shape. He expressed optimism he'd be ready for the first day of training camp.
"I don't know if I'll be on the field that day, but that's my plan (to be 100 percent)," Jones-Drew said, via John Oesher of Jaguars.com.
Why play fantasy football anywhere else? Play the official free fantasy football game of the NFL. Sign up today in under two minutes.
This is a contract year for Jones-Drew, and it'd be surprising if he remained in Jacksonville in 2014, no matter how well his recovery goes. Jones-Drew admitted "we're all uncertain" about where he'll be next year.
It's that kind of year for one of the franchise's greatest all-time draft picks.

Through the precise study of compositions and settings, she appropriates the codes of representation of yesteryear. She nonetheless distinguishes her work through a highly contemporary and personal approach, by integrating staged elements from everyday life into her photographs that conspicuously disrupt our reading of them. Considering photography as a unique means of expression, the artist raises questions of a social and behavioural nature by combining the past and the present in a surprising and creative way. "Pink Helmet" is part of the artist? project titled "How would have been?" This project is inspired in the fact that, despite the advances and technology humanity has today, there is a longing about past times, when things were more natural and handmade and made for lasting a long time.Read more Read less
The photographs are carefully packaged in order to ensure their optimal protection during transport.
Born in 1981, Romina Ressia is from Argentina where she has lived and worked as an independent photographer. An author of photographic portraits with pictorial inspiration and captivating originality, the photographer was very quickly identified thanks to social networks and receives many requests on the part of prestigious magazines. She was thus immediately propelled into the world of fashion through myriad publications and international exhibitions. Her creations were then exhibited in Milan, Buenos Aires, and New York.

All I have to say about this is YUM!!! There was no way I was passing up a chance to take on the citrus challenge of the year!!! Tartelette a.k.a Heléne is hosting this round of Sugar High Friday and it's a doosie, what could be better than citrus (apart from almond and cardamom) but really this is wonderful as I got a chance to really let my creative juices flow!
For my creation I took inspiration from various areas, my pomelo and lime curd is from the Elle's New England Kitchen who got it from the New York Times and I found it on Tastespotting, so a round about way of getting there, the mousse is from Bill Granger's book Bills Food but with the lemon mousse changed to orange, the orange curd is is made the same way as the pomelo and lime one and tuiles are a recipe I have printed out and have no notion where it's from but I've tinkered with it a bit and used Chocolate Gourmand's method. Phew, there a lot of people who are responsible for me putting this together and thanks to all of them for their continuing inspiration and endless knowledge.
So as this is shaping up to be a long post I'll try to cut the chat to a minimum, so here's the recipes
Pomelo and Lime Curd/Orange curd:
1 pomelo
1 lime
3 egg yolks
2 whole eggs
125g sugar
Pinch of salt
4 tbsp butter at room temp
I washed my pomelo and lime as I couldn't get organic non-waxed ones. Grate zest from the pomelo and the lime and set aside.
Squeeze juice from both fruit into a sieve set over a bowl.
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, whole eggs, sugar and salt. Whisk in the strained juice.
Transfer to a saucepan over a low heat and stir continuously until the mixture has thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon, approx. 10-15 mins.
Add the zest and transfer to a sterilised jar or bowl, cover and cool.
I transferred mine to martini glasses and the rest to a jar.
For the orange curd I used the juice of 3 oranges and the zest of 2.
Once the pomelo and lime curd was set, I followed the same method and spooned a layer of orange curd on top.
Orange Mousse:
zest of 3 oranges
60 ml orange juice
185g caster sugar
4 eggs seperated
150g butter, cut into shunks
Put the orange zest, juice, sugar and egg yolks in a bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly, for approx. 10 mins until the mixture coats the back of a spoon (this is another curd method that I've used before but it takes way longer to thicken).
Whisk in small ammounts of butter until it is all incorporated.
Allow to cool.
Whisk the egg whites together in a mixer until stiff peaks form.
Fold half of the egg whites into the orange mixture with a metal spoon and then fold in the second half.
Spoon the mixture over the curds and refrigerate until firm.
For the tuiles:
40g butter
50g icing sugar
60g plain flour
zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp lavender syrup (I've been dying to use this since I bought it from Avoca, it's also available at www.foodhallonline.com)
Preheat the oven to Gas 6/200.
Place a flat tray in teh oven to heat with a non-stick sheet on it, I used a silicone baking sheet but I am sure well buttered parchment would do aswell as long as you butter again between batches or change the parchment for each set of new tuiles.
Cream the butter, sugar, flour, zest and lavender syrup together until it's light and fluffy. Add the flour slowly until just mixed in.
Heat a large serving spoon of the mixture in a bowl in the microwave for about 8 seconds so you achieve a pouring consistency.
Place a tablespoon of the dough on the heated baking sheet and spread out gently until the tuile looks quite thin.
Place in the oven and bake for 4-6 minutes.
Remove from the oven and cut into shaped or roll around the handle of a wooden spoon to make curls.
Feel free to cook your tuiles for longer but I like mine pale and chewy as opposed to darker and crispier. Serve with physallis and preferably after a bbq with friends!
This was a gorgeous recipe and one of the first I've used many inspirations and spent time on making notes etc. I really enjoyed making this as it's the first curd I've made that set up properly. You can't really see the layers in the photos but the mousse and orange curd were u gasp after the sweetness of the mousse and the first curd layer. I'm still eating the pomelo and lime curd on toast and trying to make it last as long as possible but the orange one is long gone as the husbag was eating spoons of it!!!!

With the dust settling on another memorable year for gaming we take a look ahead to the top 10 most hotly anticipated games of 2016.
There are already a host of huge titles on the horizon as well as a new dawn for gaming with the arrival of virtual reality into homes this year.
Setting VR to one side, over the next two weeks we look ahead to the top 10 titles working their way onto our machines in 2016.
10) Street Fighter V: looks to all intents and purposes just like Street Fighter IV. But that's not a bad thing.
It cannot fail to be another great title from this industry leading series. SFV features a pared-down cast with a few newcomers, along with cross-platform online play and some new-gen graphical punch. Release date: February 16.
9) No Man's Sky: is coming to PS4 and PC in June and has the potential to be one of the most groundbreaking games of all time.
NMS is a huge space simulation that gives you your very own procedurally generated universe to explore, with different planets full of odd creatures and distinctive sights.
Developers say the game could be limitless. Whether that works and whether it can live up to the hype remains to be seen.
8) Doom: The last time we saw Doom in 2004, it had become darker and moodier – to great effect, too.
But now id Software is creating a modern Doom in the image of the old-school originals, which means it's super fast, horrifically violent, and instantly more appealing.
Can it do this cornerstone of video gaming justice on next gen, though? Release date: spring 2016.
7) Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is the latest blockbuster from Naughty Dog. The PS4 exclusive action-adventure trilogy has given gamers some of the most memorable moments over the years and now Uncharted 4 looks set to do much the same on PS4.
You can expect more tense set-pieces, thrilling shootouts and remarkable performances with some new tweaks. Release date: April 26.
6) Mass Effect Andromeda: The storyline may have reached a definite conclusion in Mass Effect 3 but EA's beloved sci-fi universe will repotredly show off its true vastness with Mass Effect Andromeda.
It is set long after the trilogy which preceeded it but we don't know much more than that at the moment. Release date: Q4 2016.
Next week we bring you the rest of the top 10 most anticipated games of 2016.

Thursday's fire in a Weymouth condominium building under construction is the latest fire in Massachusetts with a familiar ring. Newer lightweight wood construction, that burns faster and hotter than traditional lumber and buildings not yet protected by fire alarms, sprinklers and other protective elements are posing a fire risk of potentially dramatic proportions.
While we are closest to these in Massachusetts, having seen not only the one in Weymouth, but recent ones in Waltham and Dorchester, the problem of construction-site fires is playing out all across the country. Just from news accounts, we have seen at least five others this year – commercial buildings in Colorado and Vermont and apartment buildings in North Carolina, Kansas and California. Four were being constructed with wood. In 2011-2015, local fire departments responded to an estimated average of 3,820 fires in structures under construction each year. These fires caused an average of three civilian deaths, 49 civilian injuries, 232 firefighter injuries, and $176 million in direct property damage annually. It has been reported that the losses in the Waltham and Boston fires were over $100 million and over $40 million respectively. The loss in the most recent fire in Weymouth is estimated between $20 and $30 million. According to the National Fire Protection Association the average loss in properties under construction is more than twice the average loss in all structures.
These incidents beg a series of questions starting with, "Why is this happening and how do we fix it?" Every state including Massachusetts adopts a code that dictates the actions needed to protect buildings under construction, as well as other fire and life safety codes. Are the code requirements adequate? Are those that must comply with the requirements educated about them? Are the codes being enforced? And is everyone truly aware of the continued risk of fire and able to act to prevent and respond? It is particularly troubling to hear in the Dorchester fire the long delay before calling the fire department, allowing the fire to grow larger before a response.
To keep communities safe, a full system of fire safety must be in place. Government and other entities should adopt and designers should use the latest versions of codes and standards to get the benefit of the latest technology, research and collective wisdom related to fire, electrical and life safety.
Users need to review and follow standards that are referenced in the codes so they are ensuring the right practices and products are used in the right situations, minimizing vulnerability to disaster. Jurisdictions, under fiscal pressures or lack of understanding of the importance, need to resist the inclination to reduce enforcement efforts. And the public cannot take safety for granted and be uneducated about fire risks. Their improper or uneducated actions can place them in peril. Everyone can play a role in their own safety.
There is not a single answer to the fire problem. There are several pieces. We may not be able to prevent every tragedy from occurring, but by recommitting to and promoting a full system of fire prevention, protection and education, we can work together to help save lives and reduce loss.Jim Pauley is president of the National Fire Protection Association in Quincy.

Entrepreneurial Innovation In Medicine
"Entrepreneurial will exists in constant tension with an unruly, uncertain, and surprising world."
Parallel revolutions in molecular biology and digital technology have created profound new opportunities to reconceptualize healthcare, providing us with the tools to refine our understanding of health and disease, and rigorously evaluate and iteratively optimize potential solutions.
Delivering on this promise has proved far more challenging than many originally anticipated. Healthcare is enormously complicated, stakeholders are deeply entrenched, and to paraphrase C.S. Lewis, your view of the problem tends to depend a great deal on where you are standing.
Success requires a deep understanding of the existing system – an intuitive appreciation of the real problems to be solved, and the irrepressible determination to deliver an actionable solution.
Topics of particular interest include:
- Patient-focused drug development (including the role digital health might play), see here.
- Power laws, and the implications for decision-making, nicely discussed by Peter Thiel here and Paul Graham here.
- Subconscious biases, and the arbitrage opportunities they create, especially regarding talent – see here.
- Entrepreneurs and the idea of "conscious capitalism" (vision=why, profit=how) – see here and here.
- Agency problem in context of diversification strategies – see here.
- Entrepreneurs and other auteurs (e.g. Ira Glass) – see here.
- Translating integrated health data into biomedical progress that impacts patients – see here and here.

George Ellery Hale | Astrophysics
Hale played a pioneering role in the new astronomy that advanced beyond the identification and plotting of stars. By applying developing understandings of light and motion to an analysis of stars, the chemical and physical characteristics of even distant stars could be understood. Of particular interest to Hale was the closest star, the sun.
While riding a streetcar in Chicago in 1889, an idea came to Hale "out of the blue" that made photographing the sun's prominences possible. By 1891, he was obtaining important results with his new spectroheliograph at the Kenwood Observatory set up in the backyard of the family home at 4545 South Drexel Avenue.
When George Hale joined the faculty at the University of Chicago, he was given no teaching or administrative duties and focused his energy on planning the new observatory at Williams Bay along Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. Opened in 1897, the Charles T. Yerkes Observatory represented the best quality of both scientists and equipment to be found anywhere. The observatory's forty-inch telescope provided extraordinary viewing opportunities for measuring stellar parallaxes and for making direct comparisons of star positions.
With the promise of a sixty-inch reflector lens to be contributed by his father, Hale urged the University in 1896 to provide a mounting for the lens. When his efforts failed, the newly formed Carnegie Institution met Hale's request and offered him an escape from the budgetary restraints he had encountered at Chicago. Hale resigned from the University of Chicago in 1905 to devote his time to the Mt. Wilson Solar Observatory near Pasadena he had founded the year before. By 1908, the Mt. Wilson sixty-inch telescope, the largest in the world, was operational.
Hale was blessed with many advantages: his father's wealth freed him from many of the personal financial constraints which checked other scientists, and his career coincided with the growth of modern science. But it was Hale's ambitious research agenda and his curiosity that were most notable.
He was not only a superb astrophysicist, he was a master creator of institutions within which scientists could do their work.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Many applicants seeking jobs with the city of Richmond will no longer have to disclose felony convictions on initial applications.
The Richmond-Times Dispatch (http://bit.ly/11GlKnW ) reports that City Council unanimously voted Monday night to remove the check box for felony convictions from applications for many positions.
Another ordinance approved Monday night requires applicants for some jobs to disclose felony convictions. These jobs include police, firefighters, positions with financial responsibilities and positions that require work with children.
Supporters of the change say convicted felons have difficulty finding employment and housing after they've completed their sentences.

Latest News
With Kenya mall attack unresolved, terrorists' Twitter accounts are targeted
Soon after gunmen stormed a Kenyan shopping mall on Saturday, killing dozens in a spray of bullets and grenades, triumphant tweets swept the Internet.
"The Mujahideen entered #Westgate Mall today at around noon and are still inside the mall, fighting the #Kenyan Kuffar inside their own turf," cheered the Twitter account of al Shabab, al Qaida's affiliate in Somalia. "The Mujahideen inside the mall confirmed to @HSM_Press that they killed over 100 Kenyan kuffar & battle is ongoing."
Hours later, the account disappeared. For the third time this year, Twitter tried to kick al Shabab off its social media platform.
Within hours, a new account popped up once again, tweeting mocking jibes at Kenyans as if it had never stopped. Then it too went silent.
As the horror of the assault on Nairobi's Westgate mall spun unresolved through a second day Sunday, with the death toll rising and uncertainty surrounding what was taking place at the multi-story complex, the Internet became the only way to learn the motivations of the attackers – amid fierce debate over whether terrorists should have their own platform.
The Saturday attack on the upscale Israeli-owned shopping mall – a popular destination for wealthy Kenyans and Nairobi's large expatriate community – was the deadliest terror attack since August 1998, when the U.S. Embassy here was bombed, killing more than 200.
Kenyan officials on Sunday issued revised accounts of the mayhem: 59 people dead, more than 175 wounded. Security forces were battling to claw control of the shopping center from the attackers who remained inside. More than 1,000 shoppers had been rescued, officials said, but an unknown number remain trapped inside.
There was little said publicly about the perpetrators of the attack, except for what emerged on Twitter.
In Afghanistan and Pakistan, al Qaida spokesmen regularly communicate directly with journalists, often by phone. Shabab, too, has an official spokesman – but he is in Somalia, is rarely reachable, and communicates mostly to only a trusted ring of media contacts.
So, when news broke of the attack on Saturday, practically every journalist in East Africa turned immediately to the unsavory sarcasm flowing out of @HSM_Press, Shabab's latest Twitter account.
So, too, did the Kenyan government.
"The al Shabab terror group has claimed responsibility for this cowardly act of terror on social media. However, investigations are underway to conclusively establish those responsible for this mayhem," President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya said in a televised statement Sunday evening.
The sheer scale of the damage inflicted by the armed attack began to sink in on Sunday, as the number of dead continued to climb and the bloody standoff inside the mall spilled into a second night, with the chance of even more casualties to come.
President Kenyatta told the nation his nephew and nephew's fiance were among the dead.
The U.S. State Department said it knew of no Americans who'd died in the attack, but that five had been wounded. It said in addition to Kenya, the dead came from Australia, Great Britain, Canada, France, Ghana and Somalia.
Kenyatta said that the assailants, estimated to number 10 to 15 and possibly including women, had been cornered in one location at the mall. He declined to give many other details, asking the nation to let "professionals" do their work.
Helicopters whirred overhead as Kenyan security forces expanded their cordon around the mall, deploying hundreds of troops in the streets surrounding the complex. As night fell, more troops arrived and took up additional positions around the building.
Kenyan authorities announced they had re-taken control of the building's closed circuit television room, a step toward further securing most of the mall. Survivors have told hair-raising tales of hiding in bathroom stalls and storage rooms as the gunmen executed scores of others nearby.
Al Shabab, through its Twitter account, said the attack was retribution for the Kenyan military's offensive into Shabab strongholds in southern Somalia that began in 2011 after a string of cross-border kidnappings.
As anger swept through Kenya at the scale of the attack, Kenyan Twitter users began demanding that Shabab again have its account cancelled.
"The danger of course is that they get a following among young gullible people," said Rashid Abdi, an independent Somali analyst.
But from an intelligence perspective, said Abdi, "allowing these people some kind of forum where they can make claims is important."
Intelligence services closely monitor flagged terror accounts to help map out other networks of online supporters.
"It's hard to take one side or the other," said Abdi.
In the end, the organization's clear delight in brashly boasting of past and future violence appears to force Twitter's hand toward the delete button.
In January, the group's account was removed after it tweeted a picture of a dead French soldier and threatened to execute Kenyan captives. Earlier this month, the group's account was deleted after it jeeringly vowed to take the life of the Somali president.
The group clearly has no plans to give up its tweeting habit anytime soon.
"Kenyans will not appreciate the gravity of the situation without seeing, feeling and experiencing death in all its ghoulish detail," tweeted a new account, @HSM_PressOffice, claiming to be Shabab.
That was before the account was closed again.

At least he recorded the stories in his own handwriting, and I suspect that Granny Ewen had something to do with the telling. The picture shows my Granddad holding the very picture of his dad that now hangs over the mantel of my home. Sidney Brent Ewen was born at Slade, KY, 28 Feb 1899. He died 24 July 1980 Winchester, KY and is buried in Clark Co., KY. The picture he holds is of his father George Washington Ewen who died in 1906. Granddad would have known very little of his father since he died when Granddad was around seven years old. Sidney Brent was the baby of eleven (11) children, 8 boys and 4 girls. What a family. The story of George Washington Ewen is told in an earlier blog titled the "The Sod Rest Lightly".
Possum Hollar (3):
"We lived these about three months before school started, and by that time many more had moved into our camp home from other states. Of course where there are so many children all in one small school house and from different states it was not any trouble to get a fight started, and when some boy from W.Va said someting a Kentucky boy fists began to fly. And all over the school grounds by some way I was knocked down in the fight. The next thing I knew strong arms carried me out of the fight and danger, setting me down and running back to stop the fight. There where I meet my fate. This boy became my idel God though he was several years older than me. Did not make any difference to me. It did not keep me from thinking of him night and day. And to him I was just a little black headed school girl, with pig tails hanging down my back. Nothing else happened to make him look at me any more and he quit school that fall to take a job with the Rail Road Co. that run by our house. Passing by our house on the hand car he did not look at the little girl looking out the window just to get a glance of her man as he went by."

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's... yes, a plane — a 45-foot paper airplane.
Inspired by none other than a 12-year-old, an Arizona museum launched the 800-pound aircraft, with a 24-foot wingspan, outside of Tucson Wednesday and watched it sail through the air, 2,703 feet up, at 98 miles an hour, MSNBC reported.
The plane was designed by aeronautical engineers who based their design on that of local child Arturo Valdenegro, who won the Pima Air and Space Museum's paper airplane contest back in January.
Wednesday, the engineers' behemoth was hauled into the skies by a helicopter and released — and the plane soared for a few moments, according to the project's live blog of the event.
The house-sized paper plane, dubbed Arturo's Desert Eagle, had suffered some damage in earlier test runs that required on-the-go repairs before its final successful flight.

The OVA is basically targetted at hardcore fans only, which is a shame given that the production values are really nice - great animation and music (I really like the OP, "Yume no Hate" by tomo, but can't find a release date for it anywhere unfortunately - maybe it's only coming on the special edition BGM disc with one of the posh collector's editions of the DVD) and some half decent voice-acting (Mint is a wuss, but Arche is suprisingly non-annoying thus far and the blokes are fine as usual).
The main problem is the god-awful plotting structure. ToP isn't exactly heavy on plot anyway, but we have no indication of who these characters are whatsoever, we're just plonked into their story completely unaided and very quickly thrown some stuff about Dhaos, their parents and then wheeeee sent into the future by a man we've never met before. As far as I could tell nothing got explained in the future either! Having played the game it all made a fair amount of sense and I was able to enjoy seeing it well animated, but I can't see this being at all successful in Region 1 where only a relative minority of people will have played the game in any shape or form.
Once I've seen subs I may revise my judgement, but I can see why Sairai_X didn't enjoy it. I have to admit I didn't mind it - it's certainly better than Star Ocean EX! - but it is a little disappointing.

Actually, that's not what happened at all, really. (At least as I remember it, I toned out the last few minutes.)
But what's depressing is that the OVA is so stupid it doesn't really matter.
If you've played the game, you'll enjoy seeing your favoite characters and spells animated. (Maxwell makes an appearance, and he's particularly impressive.)
I'm currently working my way through the GBA version, so I enjoyed seeing the summons.
But it tries to cover about 10 hours of game in a half hour. If you haven't played the game you'll just be totally confused, and if you have you'll know everything that's happened and that's going to happen. The animation's not particularly impressive, the colors are dull and drab, the dialogue uninspired, and in an effort to simplify the plot it just makes it moronic.
I'd give this one a pass. I can't for the life of me imagine why Geneon liscenced it.

Hmmm.... well on the other hand it opens an interesting possibility, since they covered one of the 2 main arcs iof the game in a single OVA, which will leave them space for developing an alternate universe in the story.... which could lead to some interesting development or to utter spoilering of the series
I for one would have prefered that they had done what they did for Tales of Ethernia... developing a parallel arc and not messing too much with the main story... after all 4 OVAS is way too little (tales of ethernia was 13 and they barely managed to cover anything...)
PS: I just want to see more of Suzu animated >.<

after the first episode, animated Suzu and Dhaos are practically the only thing I'm waiting for this OVA now... and anyone who has not played the game before WILL have no idea of what's going on. They need a full 26 episode series to tell the story properly.
All my favorite scenes from the game got cut out, and somehow they make Arche looks like a... 7-year-old? WTH is that? Why they do this to my favorite girl in the game? Also Cless doesn't shout out special attack names when fighting enemies
Anyway this OVA is definitely aimed at the most hardcore of the Tales fans, a lot of stuffs got simplified or just cut out... I'm not sure if it's a disappointment for me or not, because at least I get to see Dhaos animated (which is about the sole reason of my anticipation of this OVA ), however if only they can draw Arche better...

I rather liked it myself. It was a bit confusing at first, but it didn't take me long to figure out that this wasn't going to be a retelling of the entire story, but rather that they fastforwarded to one of the most important events in the story. Actually, I'm kind of glad they did it this way. It's impossible to squeeze the entire story in a 4-episode OVA without skipping over a lot and making a lot of chronological comprimises.

Tsukiyomi -Moon Phase-
the episode 1 was released on november 25.. i was wondering why it's in this section... is it because it's dvd or is it because it's licensed or both... just wondering...
oh ya about tales of phantasia.. it's base on the game.. so if you don't know anything about teh game i think you'll be lost... becasue they don't introduce the characters but they just start right away from where the bad guy is release and stuff... still cool...

I think people are dissin on this way too much.
So the first episode starts well into the story? So what. Ever heard of Lodoss War? Berserk? Gungrave? For all we know the background might get fleshed out in the episodes to come.
I'm not saying ToP will be amazing or anything, but we've only seen one episode, and so far it's got some things going for it. The animation and sound are top notch (I love the art style), there was never a dull moment, and as someone who's played the game, I think the characters were represented just fine. If you haven't played the game AND you don't know any japanese, then I can understand that you might find this disjointed and confusing....but isn't that obvious!

Anywho, yeah it was pretty and all, and the music was good, but somehow, I was hoping that the original opening and ending themes from the PSX version would be retained. I just loved those songs, so much!
Anyone else think that Cless jumped a little too high? He's wearing half-plate armour and that cape of his has got to weigh like 15-20 pounds. Eh, maybe he's on some performance enhancers or something.
I just had another nitpick about his fight. How come he's not being splattered with blood? I know kids will probably be watching the OVA, but come on, it just trivializes death!
One more thing I just want to addd, I hope Cless switches his sowrd off for a nice ax, or the Gungnir. Swords are fine and all, but polearms>swords.

Sean Rodriguez is the PTBNL in Kazmir Trade
Sean Rodriguez at shortstop for the Mesa Angels in July 2003, his first year as a professional ball player.
As I speculated this morning, Angels general manager Tony Reagins told the Orange County Register that Bees infielder Sean Rodriguez is the third player in the Scott Kazmir trade.
"I knew obviously what the cost was all along," Reagins said. "The package was a package we felt was fair, based on Scott Kazmir's age and the time period we had Scott under control."
I've been warning on the Register blog and the MLB.com Angels fan board for days that the PTBNL would be the biggest name of the three. Rodriguez will certainly challenge for the Rays' second base job in 2010.
P.S. Congratulations to Mike DiGiovanna at the Los Angeles Times for being the first one to figure it out. Some fan sites are out there claiming they got the scoop, but it was DiGiovanna who posted last night that it was probably Rodriguez.

It took only a few words from Greece's prime minister to upend Europe's efforts to convince the world that its grand plan to save the euro would mark a turning point in the continent's debt crisis and keep it from hurting the global economy.
The chaos generated by George Papandreou's mere proposal to put Greece's participation in the deal to a referendum exposed the fragility of the European plan and the lack of confidence it enjoys in markets.
A top European official warned that Athens could be left to go bankrupt if it went through with the vote and experts said the broader eurozone deal — which hopes to protect larger countries like Italy — could collapse.
Ultimately, Greece could leave the euro union, causing massive financial havoc and pushing the global economy back into recession.
That prospect could be enough to keep the referendum from happening — Papandreou's government could collapse before the proposal goes through, having lost huge amounts of support from its own party.
After a grueling seven-hour Cabinet meeting, Papandreou's ministers expressed "total support" for his referendum proposal and said the vote would be held "as soon as possible," government spokesman Ilias Mossialos said early Wednesday.
But Papandreou's government still faces a vote of confidence scheduled for Friday. The prime minister was summoned to attend emergency talks Wednesday on implementation of the bailout convened by French President Nicolas Sarkozy and German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Cannes, France, a day ahead of the Group of 20 Summit in the French Riviera.
The referendum proposal piled more pressure on an already creaking deal that was facing scrutiny from markets that found details wanting.
European leaders agreed last Thursday on €100 billion ($136 billion) in new bailout loans for Greece to accompany a 50 percent debt writeoff on the debt owed to its private creditors. The broader plan will also push European banks to strengthen their finances against losses on Greek bonds and strengthen the bailout fund to backstop other governments.
Yet key details were lacking: Would enough banks join the "voluntary" writedown? How would a scheme to magnify the bailout fund's financial power work? Would banks refuse to raise new capital and instead buttress their finances by simply lending less money, hurting the economy? Would the 50 percent reduction still leave Greece with too much debt to repay?
Now the referendum proposal adds even more uncertainty. Yields on Italian bonds have jumped above 6 percent despite an effort by the European Central Bank to drive them down by buying them in the secondary market.
The referendum proposal also calls into question Greece's commitment to the bailout plan. Parliament was due to vote on it, but hanging its fate on a popular vote in Greece, where protests have intensified over the past year, is perhaps too bold a political move.
Papandreou is hoping to get a solid mandate to implement austerity measures over coming years, but the uncertainty created by the proposal itself — and the fact that the vote would be months away — risks sinking the European deal before Greeks can even vote on it.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the chair of eurozone ministerial meetings, suggested Greece may not get its next bailout loans — which had already been approved and were due to be paid out in coming weeks — if it goes ahead with the vote.
Athens runs out of money to pay pensions and salaries by mid-November and has to pay bondholders money in December. Failure to do so could trigger a messy default with dire consequences for stock and bond markets.
Markets would plunge. European banks would suffer losses, making credit harder to get for businesses and hurting the economy. Borrowing costs would rise for other European governments, companies and households, worsening their finances, on fears they will default, too.
Banks and financial firms in other countries would suffer as well. American broker MF Global Holdings filed for bankruptcy protection after markets lost confidence in its heavy bet on European government debt.
President Barack Obama and other leaders of the Group of 20 forum of rich and developing countries have urged Europe to wrap up a solution to the debt crisis by a summit in Cannes Thursday and Friday so that the crisis does not disrupt global growth.
If Greece defaults, its banks will likely collapse because they hold large amounts of government bonds. They would probably need to be taken over by the government. Unable to borrow, Greece would have to immediately balance its budget by making even more drastic cuts.
At that point it might face a decision to leave the euro, which would let it devalue a reinstated drachma by some 50 percent and improve export competitiveness.
"The community's patience with Greece seems to be running short," Commerzbank economist Christoph Weil wrote in a note. "Against this backdrop there is a real risk of the IMF and eurozone countries terminating their support payments."
Facing collapsed banks, "it is likely that the country would opt for an exit from the European Monetary Union as it would in this way regain its ability to act on monetary and fiscal policy at least in the short term."
Months of uncertainty over the vote, to be held early next year, would threaten the stability of larger economies like Italy, which saw its borrowing rates rise sharply on Tuesday and would be too expensive to rescue.
Fears that the plan could come undone drove a broad retreat in global markets. Germany's DAX and France's CAC-40 both slid 5.2 percent but Italy's main index fared even worse, slumping by 6.7 percent.
The euro fell 1.5 percent to $1.3648 while borrowing rates jumped higher for Italy and Spain, considered the next weakest links in the crisis.

Apple apps such as QuickTime Player, Photos, and Keynote work with many kinds of audio and video formats. Some apps prefer specific formats, but QuickTime movie files (.mov), most MPEG files (.mp4, .m4v, .m4a, .mp3, .mpg), some AVI and WAV files, and many other formats usually work in most apps without additional software.
Older or specialized media formats might not work in your app, because the format requires software designed to support it. If that happens, your app won't open the file or won't play back its audio or video.
How to search for an app that works with your file
You might already have an app that supports the format of your file. If you don't know which of your installed apps to try, your Mac might be able to suggest one:
- Control-click (or right-click) the file in the Finder.
- From the shortcut menu that opens, choose Open With. You should see a submenu listing all of the other installed apps that your Mac thinks might be able to open the file.
If none of your installed apps can open the file, search the Internet or Mac App Store for apps that can play or convert the file. Include these in your search:
- The name of the media format. If you don't know the format, select the file and press Command-I to open an Info window. The format might appear after the label Kind, such as "Kind: Matroska Video File."
- The filename extension, which is the letters shown at the end of the file's name, such as .avi, .wmv, or .mkv.

A profound sense of abiding friendship and a passionate desire to express support and love for the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown is the moving force behind an all-star jazz benefit concert that will be held April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Newark Academy, a prestigious preparatory school in Livingston, NJ.
New Jersey might seem a bit remote geographically from Newtown, although in our tightly-knit, tightly-wired electronic global village we are all, to a degree, Newtownians.
But even geographically, the benefit concert, which features such jazz heavyweights as saxophonist Wayne Escoffery, trumpeter Marcus Printup and trombonist Steve Turre, has deep Connecticut roots. And it is, in part, a celebration of loving ties and family-like loyalties formed in the 1990s in Hartford, bonds that never die, particularly in times of overwhelming tragedy.
Newark Academy's Jazz Director Julius Tolentino, and Escoffery, one of the headliners for "Evening of Jazz for Newtown," are longtime friends and even onetime roommates at The Hartt School with the celebrated tenor saxophonist Jimmy Greene, the father of one of the 26 shooting victims, first-grader Ana Grace Márquez-Greene. A bright-eyed, angelic, 6-year-old, Ana Grace loved to sing and dance and exuded spontaneity, irrepressible vitality and exuberant joy in life, Tolentino recalls.
Jazz was the catalyst for these lifetime friendships that were formed nearly two decades ago when Tolentino (Class of '98), Escoffery (Class of '97) and Greene (Class of '97), were young, gifted, jazz saxophone students at The Hartt School at the University of Hartford. In a shared life-shaping experience, the three friends were mentored and inspired by the great alto saxophonist, innovative educator and jazz guru, Jackie McLean. A longtime Hartford resident, McLean, who died in 2006, was the founder of the renowned Jackie McLean Institute of Jazz at The Hartt School.
Tolentino, who is himself now a noted educator and much respected alto saxophonist, and Escoffery, a top-ranked tenor saxophonist who grew up in New Haven, have been best friends with Greene and his wife, Nelba Márquez-Greene, since they were all undergraduates together at Hartt School. Nelba, who's now a licensed therapist, studied flute at Hartt, while the three saxophonist friends were growing and flourishing as McLean's proteges.
Not only did they all go to school together in those exciting formative years of youth, but they also forged permanent connections with each other, continuing to share their life's unfolding milestones in their adult years. They attended and participated in one another's weddings, bonded together ever more tightly, as only new parents can, as they shared the experience of having children and raising families, all the while carving out successful careers for themselves in their own fields.
"It all still seems surreal," Tolentino says reflecting on the unimaginably horrific Dec. 14 mass shooting that took the lives of 20 school children and six female educators.
"Having kids the same age, we feel for Jimmy, Nelba and the whole family. We think about Jimmy, Nelba, their 9-year-old son Isaiah every day, and Ana, who was musically gifted and had such a spirit and so much energy," says Tolentino who is dedicating the concert to Ana's memory.
Escoffery's friendship with Greene goes back even further than their Hartt School days, beginning with a jam session they played at together as they turned 16 in a jazz venue in New Haven. They first met that night around midnight, or, as Escoffery explains, the dividing time-line between their birthdates.
"Jimmy was born Feb. 24, and I was born Feb. 23 the same year," Escoffery recalls, "but he had started playing before I did. Although technically, Jimmy is one day younger than me, I've always looked at him as kind of an older brother in many ways, and as someone to look up to."
While at Hartt, Escoffery and Greene famously teamed-up in a hard-swinging combo called Twin Towers, which featured the two very tall, extremely talented tenors in still-talked about state-wide appearances in which tenor madness reigned.
The easy-going Greene, who is at least six-foot-six, is nicknamed "The Gentle Giant." He's universally regarded by his peers as one of the most decent, compassionate, fair and friendly musicians on the scene, which, Tolentino says, explains why he has so many deeply devoted friends.
"On first meeting Jimmy, something just draws you in. He just has that kind of personality," Tolentino says of his close friend.
"He's pretty much the nicest person I ever met," is the succinct way Escoffery sums up his longtime friend, Jimmy Greene.
"Jimmy is also very strong as we are all seeing, and has always held strong convictions." he adds.
"There's no way anybody could deal with this tragedy," Escoffery says, "but I talk to Jimmy pretty regularly, and one thing he keeps saying is that, 'It's day by day, just day by day.' Again, I think he and Nelba and the whole family are very strong," Escoffery adds.
"They're lucky in that they have such strong faith. I think their faith in God is really what's getting them through this."
Both Tolentino and Escoffery agree that music, surpassing the expressive limits of mere words, has spirituality and healing power. Those transcendental energies, they say, will prevail at the benefit concert as the three headliners perform with the school's nationally acclaimed youth ensembles under Tolentino's direction.
"Music," Escoffery explains, "has always been a part of worship, a part of celebration and a part of mourning. Music has always been a part of all things from Day One. Hopefully, we can bring some healing, but also maybe we can bring some remembrance so that people can really think about what's happened and about what we need to do now."
"It's a shame that everything has to be two-sided and everything has to be politicized today, even this. We all want the same thing. We all don't want our kids being shot up, and we all only want to be safe."
EVENING OF JAZZ FOR NEWTOWN, a benefit with all proceeds going directly to the families of Sandy Hook and to the Ana Grace Fund, will be held April 12 at 7:30 p.m. at the Newark Academy's Rose Auditorium, 91 South Orange St., Livingston, New Jersey. Tickets: $10. For information and tickets contact Julius Tolentino at firstname.lastname@example.com.
