MWC 15 Special
Following Palm's earlier U.S.-only webOS 1.3.5 and 22.214.171.124 firmware updates for the Palm Pre, last night Palm released webOS 184.108.40.206 for the European Palm Pre, available in the UK, Ireland, Germany and Spain. webOS 184.108.40.206 features all previous 1.3.5 and 18.104.22.168 enhancements and bugfixes which allows customers to download and store more applications by removing the current limitation of available memory for applications. Furthermore 1.3.5 enhanced the WiFi and application performance as well as it improve the battery life and multitasking capabilities (like background downloads).
Also new is that the Palm Pre now allows tethering via Bluetooth PAN which allows to use the device as a wireless modem for Notebooks. The Internet browser also supports animate GIFs now but Adobe Flash isn't yet supported but will be available with a later separate download.
Also included should be the buxfix for the webOS Calendar which had an issue with webOS 1.3.5 version in which the Calendar app displayed no events for any account after a user synchronized Calendar with an Exchange account.
As with all Palm Pre updates, the 12 MB large update will be distributed OTA (over the air), but it can be also downloaded through W-LAN instead of using a WWAN connection like EDGE or UMTS/HSDPA.
UPDATE: Interesting enough, Bluetooth tethering is only mentioned in Palm's German Knowledge Base for O2 Germany, not in the English one for O2 UK and Ireland. Can anyone confirm if the UK/Irish update features Bluetooth PAN tethering or not?
UPDATE 2: According to sources, all European webOS 22.214.171.124 versions feature Bluetooth PAN tethering. However, Carriers can allows it/disable it and as it looks like O2 Germany is the only carrier within the Telefonica O2 group whiich allows allows/enabled Bluetooth PAN tethering.

There's nothing wrong with tracks like Talladega or Daytona but the NASCAR season is seriously lacking in variety. We need more races like the Mudsummer Classic at Eldora to spice the season up, so where do you think NASCAR should run?
My vote goes to the legendary Laguna Seca because it's arguably America's greatest road course and I think it'd be a riot to see a bunch of stock cars race down the corkscrew. It'd be so wrong and oh so right.
I think both the fans and the drivers would be more happy with some road courses or dirt tracks in a NASCAR season and it'd make for some great racing. So what do you think? Where do you want to see NASCAR run some races?

A number of potential candidates have bowed out of contention for a position on the state's new gambling commission, leaving four of the five spots still open less than a month before the deadline for making the appointments.
Some candidates for a seat on the powerful Massachusetts Gaming Commission have been put off by what they see as relatively low pay - $112,500 a year - for a high-profile job that is expected to receive intense public scrutiny. Members will pick the winning proposals for up to three gambling resorts and one slot parlor and write the regulations governing them.
"The compensation has been a deterrent for some people,'' acknowledged state Treasurer Steven Grossman, who, under the new casino law, must appoint one commission member with experience in corporate finance and securities, often a lucrative profession. "A number of people took themselves out of consideration for the job that I'm responsible for filling because of the salary.''
The post's $112,500 salary is a healthy one for public servants, but less than what many experienced professionals can earn at the top of their fields. The board's chairman, Stephen P. Crosby, appointed by Governor Deval Patrick in December, will earn $150,000.
The job of gaming commissioner "is an exciting challenge, but the intensity of the scrutiny and the level of responsibility are huge,'' said Crosby, most recently dean of the McCormack Graduate School of Policy and Global Studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston and a veteran of the fishbowl environment of Bay State politics. "There are not a lot of people who are comfortable with that level of scrutiny and it's not very much money for a lot of people, particularly for the responsibility.''
Attorney General Martha Coakley will also appoint one commissioner; her choice, under the law, must have experience in criminal investigations and law enforcement. Patrick, Coakley, and Grossman will jointly fill the final two slots. One of the joint appointments must have experience in "legal and policy issues related to gaming.'' The other may have casino management experience, but it is not required. The deadline for appointments is March 21.
The slow pace to fill the appointments will leave the gambling commission less time to hire staff and write its regulations ahead of other deadlines coming this year in the casino approval process.
But the pressure to get the choices right is also enormous. The consequence of a bad pick could be catastrophic to the appointing politician's legacy and to the state, given the commission's tremendous power to shape the casino industry.
"The quality of the individual whom I choose reflects on me and that person's performance in their job has got to be first-rate,'' said Grossman. He is, he said, happy with his finalists.
Scandals elsewhere have tainted casino development. In Pennsylvania, for example, a grand jury report last year alleged extensive corruption. Given the poor record of some other states, Crosby has joked that if Massachusetts can license casinos fairly and get them open without anybody being indicted, that alone would be a home run.
The casino law, which Patrick signed last November, bars convicted felons from serving on the gambling commission and requires a background check on "the financial stability, integrity, and responsibility'' of the people chosen to sit on the panel.
The scrutiny of potential commissioners begins early: An 11-page application form, available for download on the state treasurer's Web page, for example, contains 70 questions for potential applicants, such as: "Please identify, with particularity, every entity and security in which you or an immediate family member has an interest, financial or otherwise.'' Candidates must also describe any legal proceedings in which they have participated, their business holdings, and name creditors to whom they owe more than $1,000.
To help with his search, Grossman enlisted the help of five experienced business people, he said. That group reached out to colleagues in the financial services and consulting professions to hunt for names of potential candidates. "They probably had close to 50 names suggested to them,'' said Grossman. "Not that many candidates came forward because, for one reason or another, people found it wasn't the right position for them.''
Grossman's team interviewed about a dozen people and decided on three finalists. Grossman will personally interview those three in the next one to two weeks, he said. He is keeping the names of the finalists private.
"At the end of the day, do I feel I have a top-flight group of finalists chosen from a top group of semifinalists? I do,'' said Grossman. "Having looked at their résumés, I think we'll be well-served.''
Coakley has also found salary an issue in finding potential candidates, according to sources familiar with the search. The attorney general would not say if she has selected finalists or describe where she is in the process. In a statement, Coakley said only that "excellent candidates'' had applied and that she expected to choose someone highly qualified.
The state in January hired an executive search firm, for $56,000, to find candidates for the two joint appointments to the commission.
While he waits to meet some fellow commissioners, Crosby has been working to lay groundwork for a fast start, he said. The governor's office retained two contractors to help Crosby set up. One is overseeing logistics, such as finding office space and arranging for telephones and computers; the other, communications consultant Karen Schwartzman, is handling media relations.
Crosby also has begun collecting reference material, such as economic analyses on casino gambling, and budgets and organizational charts from other gambling commissions around the country. He has sought out regulators in other states, such as Nevada and Pennsylvania, "partly to just get introduced because these are now our peers,'' as well as to "talk about their ideas, what is important, and what mistakes not to make,'' he said.
"This is a hard line to walk,'' said Crosby. "We want, on the one hand, to get things ready to go and get moving as fast as we can, but I don't want to get out in front of the commission. There's a limit to what we can do until there's a commission ready.''

Latest Healthy Kids News
FRIDAY, March 14, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Teens who are depressed or use alcohol or marijuana are more likely to consume energy drinks than their peers, a new study finds.
Although the reasons for these apparent links are unclear, they are cause for concern due to the large numbers of teens who consume the caffeine-laden beverages, the researchers said.
The study authors surveyed more than 8,200 high school students in Canada. Nearly two-thirds of the students said they had consumed energy drinks at least once in the past year, and 20 percent said they consumed them once or more each month. Younger students were more likely to consume energy drinks than older students.
"Marketing campaigns appear designed to entice youth and young adults," study author Sunday Azagba, a researcher at the Propel Center for Population Health Impact at the University of Waterloo, said in a university news release. "It's a dangerous combination, especially for those at an increased risk for substance abuse."
The study will be published in the May issue of the journal Preventive Medicine. Although it showed an association between energy-drink consumption and alcohol or marijuana use, it did not prove a cause-and-effect link.
Popular brands of energy drinks include Monster and Red Bull. Previous research has linked energy drinks with harmful effects, including heart troubles, sleep problems, nausea and nervousness, according to the news release.

In years past, American liberals have had to settle for intellectual and moral leadership from the likes of John Dewey, Reinhold Niebuhr and Martin Luther King Jr. But now, a grander beacon has appeared on the mountaintop, and from sea to shining sea, tens of thousands have joined in the adulation.
So it is worth taking a moment to study the metaphysics of Michael Moore. For Moore is not only a filmmaker; he is a man of ideas, and his work is based on an actual worldview.
Like Hemingway, Moore does his boldest thinking while abroad. For example, it was during an interview with the British paper The Mirror that Moore unfurled what is perhaps the central insight of his oeuvre, that Americans are kind of crappy.
''They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet . . . in thrall to conniving, thieving smug [pieces of the human anatomy],'' Moore intoned. ''We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.''
It transpires that Europeans are quite excited to hear this supple description of the American mind. And Moore has been kind enough to crisscross the continent, speaking to packed lecture halls, explicating the general vapidity and crassness of his countrymen. ''That's why we're smiling all the time,'' he told a rapturous throng in Munich. ''You can see us coming down the street. You know, 'Hey! Hi! How's it going?' We've got that big [expletive] grin on our face all the time because our brains aren't loaded down.''
Naturally, the people from the continent that brought us Descartes, Kant and Goethe are fascinated by these insights. Moore's books have sold faster there than at home. No American intellectual is taken so seriously in Europe, save perhaps the great Chomsky.
Before a delighted Cambridge crowd, Moore reflected on the tragedy of human existence: ''You're stuck with being connected to this country of mine, which is known for bringing sadness and misery to places around the globe.'' In Liverpool, he paused to contemplate the epicenters of evil in the modern world: ''It's all part of the same ball of wax, right? The oil companies, Israel, Halliburton.''
In the days after Sept. 11, while others were disoriented, Moore was able to see clearly: ''We, the United States of America, are culpable in committing so many acts of terror and bloodshed that we had better get a clue about the culture of violence in which we have been active participants.''
This leads to Michael Moore's global plan of action. ''Don't be like us,'' he told a crowd in Berlin. ''You've got to stand up, right? You've got to be brave.''
In an open letter to the German people in Die Zeit, Moore asked, ''Should such an ignorant people lead the world?'' Then he began to reflect on things economic. His central insight here is that the American economy, like its people, is pretty crappy, too: ''Don't go the American way when it comes to economics, jobs and services for the poor and immigrants. It is the wrong way.''
In an interview with a Japanese newspaper, Moore helped citizens of that country understand why the United States went to war in Iraq: ''The motivation for war is simple. The U.S. government started the war with Iraq in order to make it easy for U.S. corporations to do business in other countries. They intend to use cheap labor in those countries, which will make Americans rich.''
But venality doesn't come up when he writes about those who are killing Americans in Iraq: ''The Iraqis who have risen up against the occupation are not 'insurgents' or 'terrorists' or 'The Enemy.' They are the REVOLUTION, the Minutemen, and their numbers will grow -- and they will win.'' Until then, few social observers had made the connection between Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and Paul Revere.
So we have our Sartre. And the liberal grandees Arthur Schlesinger, Ted Sorenson, Tom Harkin and Barbara Boxer flock to his openings. In Washington, a Senate vote was delayed because so many Democrats wanted to see his movie.
The standards of socially acceptable liberal opinion have shifted. We're a long way from John Dewey.
Perhaps inspired by Moore, I got a fact wrong in my previous column. Bill Clinton did not win the evangelical vote in 1992 and 1996. I had relied on a report that was later corrected.

In a closed hearing on Thursday, the Supreme Court of PMR convicted Vardanian of high treason and ordered him transferred to a strict-regime penal colony, regional and international press reported. It was unclear whether Vardanian's PMR-appointed lawyer would appeal the verdict.
Prior to his arrest in April, Vardanian, 30, worked as a staff reporter and political analyst for the Chisinau-based newspaper Puls, freelanced for the Russian Internet news agency Novy Region, and occasionally contributed to Europa Libera. Puls Editor-in-Chief Dmitry Kavruk told Deutsche Welle in April that the PMR's Ministry of State Security (MGB) had been pressuring Vardanian to stop working for Chisinau media outlets.
"Moldovan authorities must step up their efforts for the
release of Ernest Vardanian," CPJ Europe and Central Asia Program Coordinator
Irina Vardanian told Europa Libera she was not informed of any
of the trial dates, and she was not allowed in the court. Lawyer Postica told
A group of armed MGB agents arrested Vardanian at his home in Tiraspol and placed him in an agency detention facility, according to press reports and CPJ interviews. MGB agents searched the journalist's home and confiscated computers, recording equipment and reporter's notebooks, as well as the family's bank and credit cards. The MGB denied Vardanian access to a lawyer after his arrest, according to press reports.
CPJ has advocated on Vardanian's behalf, and called on Moldovan authorities to secure his release. On December 9, Sergiu Luca, first secretary at the Embassy of Moldova in the United States, responded to CPJ's request for information on the status of Moldova's efforts to gain Vardanian's release, saying: "Official authorities have no access in the region. Also, the Moldovan government does not recognize any 'decision' taken by the unconstitutional so-called courts in the region A series of diplomatic efforts and steps have been undertaken to release our citizen."

The Panama Canal Was Built On An Isthmus In C...
Contributed by Jerry Blaxton on Aug 27, 2009 (message contributor)
The Panama Canal was built on an isthmus in Central America. It was built to connect the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. When ships used the canal they saved time, because they didn't have to go around South America. It wasn't as dangerous as the sea going around the cape. It saved money, making the cost of shipping less. It was very valuable.
Even though Corinth didn't have a canal, it was more beneficial for ships to unload their cargo on one side of the isthmus and carry it to the other side where it was loaded on other ships. Because of this, Corinth became very wealthy, but was, also, godless and immoral. Here in this sinful, cosmopolitan kind of place is a church.

Anyway, a Mr. "firstname.lastname@example.com" is offering his services and his DJ Hero kit to rotate some tracks for your wedding party, using "'ACTIVISION DJ HERO and XBOX360' to mix blends and mash-ups of DANCE - CLASSIC ROCK - HIP HOP" - aka the usual shit you hear in the waiting lounge of a Jiffy Lube down in Fuquay.
The guy then quotes 21 songs off the DJ Hero tracklist. "Host must provide STANDARD TELEVISION SET and SPEAKERS!!" Thass right, bitches!!! No Hi-Def!!! We talkin' STANDARD.

His fee? Three hours for just $50 and the beef or chicken. But for $25 more, he'll close down the joint, be it Masonic lodge or Jaycee hut. Luckily, "Don't Cha" is also not on the tracklist, so you don't have to endure a bunch of 55-year-old broads pretending to be MILFs before the cake-cutting.

Obesity genes: so close and yet so far...
Journal of Biology volume 7, Article number: 36 (2008)

Little is known about genetic variants that predispose individuals toward leanness or fatness. This minireview highlights recent advances in the study of human populations, animal models and synergistic efforts as described by De Luca and colleagues in BMC Genetics, which are beginning to harvest low-hanging fruit in the search for obesity genes.
Few research topics capture the public's imagination like the search for genes that predispose to obesity. Ever since the discovery that the ob mouse mutation was caused by a deficiency in the protein leptin [1], each new finding is hailed in the headlines with promises of pharmaceutical intervention to prevent weight gain. However, it is clear that complex diseases such as obesity are not caused by genes alone, but involve interplay between genetics, diet, infectious agents, environment, behavior and social structures [2]. This multifactorial nature, combined with the fact that complex traits are controlled by many genes, most with small effects (as has long been hypothesized by quantitative geneticists for height in humans, and recently confirmed [3]), has rendered the search for obesity genes exceedingly difficult.
Is there light at the end of the tunnel? In this minireview we first evaluate very recent attempts to find obesity genes using powerful association-mapping strategies in large human populations, and then discuss improved animal models and strategies for their use in obesity genetics. The synergy of these two approaches is illustrated by the work of Maria De Luca and colleagues recently reported in BMC Genetics [4].
Genome-wide association studies in humans
In humans, the newest approach for identifying DNA variants associated with obesity is the genome-wide association (GWA) study. In these studies, hundreds of thousands to millions of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are tested for association with a quantitative trait such as body mass index (BMI), or categorical measures of obesity. GWA studies have recently become feasible because of the identification of increasing numbers of SNPs, development of high-throughput genotyping technologies, and construction of haplotype maps that reveal the patterns of SNPs inherited together in populations [5]. Over the past two years, GWA studies have been successful in identifying genomic loci for several common complex traits [5]. Compared with candidate gene approaches, which are by definition limited to small subsets of loci with known physiological roles in the regulation of a trait, GWA studies provide an unbiased approach through which candidate genes and novel genes or pathways may be linked to a trait.
Despite the intensive search for obesity genes using GWA studies, only a few genes have been found that were subsequently confirmed to explain a portion of inter-individual variation in human BMI. An early GWA study reported that a SNP upstream of insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2) was associated with BMI; when this study was expanded to nine cohorts from eight populations across multiple ethnicities (to include around 17,000 people), the evidence of association was confirmed in both unrelated and family-based samples, but with a modest effect [6]. Two independent studies of more than 300,000 SNPs in thousands of individuals identified obesity-associated variants within the first intron of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO), and this association has been repeatedly replicated in samples of adults and children from populations around the world [7]. Biological studies are beginning to determine the expression pattern and potential function of FTO, an excellent example of a novel obesity gene discovered by GWA. Most recently, a GWA study for BMI in 16,876 samples, with follow-up in more than 60,000 adults and almost 6,000 children, identified associated SNPs more than 100 kb downstream of the melanocortin-4 receptor gene (MC4R) [8], and an independent study of 2,684 individuals described similar associations with waist circumference and insulin resistance [9]. These new associations with common variants downstream of MC4R cannot be explained by the previously described uncommon MC4R amino acid substitutions Val103Ile and Ile251Leu [8].
Despite this evidence of success, GWA studies are no panacea. The current genotyping chips and analysis methods still do not capture all common SNPs, and study designs may miss the effects of rare variants and structural genomic variants with large effects on a trait. Given the large number of statistical tests of association performed in a typical GWA study, further analysis in additional samples is often needed to provide evidence that a signal is authentic.
The overall variation in BMI explained by the FTO and MC4R variants together is only around 1.17 BMI units in adults [8], a modest effect similar in magnitude to GWA results for other quantitative traits. Many common variants influencing obesity have not yet been identified, and large sample sizes will be required to detect reliable evidence of novel loci. Given the small number of genes identified so far in studies including thousands to tens of thousands of participants, larger datasets and expanded collaborations will be critical. As more studies of different populations and designs are analyzed together, however, heterogeneity of the studies may become a problem. Will there be a limit to the effectiveness of large sample sizes in detecting common variants? The answer depends on the value of identifying variants with smaller and smaller effects on obesity. Nonetheless, large sample sizes will continue to be important to identify less common variants.
Improved animal models and strategies for their use
Animal models, primarily mice, have been important tools in elucidating the genetic architecture of polygenic traits such as obesity, and the mouse 'obesity map' is now well populated with genes influencing body weight, fatness and components of energy balance [10]. However, robust identification of these quantitative trait loci (QTL) at the gene or nucleotide level has proved frustratingly elusive. Given the recent rise of GWA studies and their success, it might seem that the role of mouse models for complex trait analysis requires re-evaluation [10, 11]. In fact, the success of GWA studies is likely to increase the importance of relevant animal models for several reasons. First, mouse models will now be important in pursuing the mechanisms of genes discovered in association studies [12]. Second, many important obesity-related phenotypes (for example, those requiring measures of energy intake and energy expenditure) are challenging for GWA studies because of the high cost of obtaining accurate measurements, and require informative animal models for initial evaluation of genetic predisposition (see, for example, [13]).
Useful animal models extend beyond the mouse, as illustrated by De Luca and colleagues in their paper in BMC Genetics [4]. They identified LanA5 as a candidate gene for triacylglycerol storage in Drosophila melanogaster, which led to their subsequent finding of an association of SNPs in the closely related human gene LAMA5 with body composition. Mechanisms for regulating energy balance are a relatively common thermodynamic inheritance of all organisms, and thus studies using Drosophila, Caenorhabditis elegans and zebrafish are showing that genetically tractable lower organisms can contribute to our understanding of obesity [14]. These non-mammalian animal models have several advantages over mice, including shorter generation times, ease of breeding very large populations, powerful tools for genetic mapping, and high-throughput methods for creation and screening of mutants and phenocopies and conducting quantitative complementation testing. The findings of De Luca et al. confirm that D. melanogaster is a good model to identify genes that have evolutionarily conserved effects on body composition and that may represent obesity-predisposition genes in humans. Nevertheless, the discovery of association in a relatively small study in a limited human population will require replication in other human cohorts.
The third, and perhaps the most important, reason for using animal models is the difficulty in implementing robustly powerful designs for human association studies that could test anything beyond relatively simple models of obesity. Appropriately designed animal models can uncover networks of functionally important relationships within and among diverse sets of biological and physiological phenotypes that can be altered by relevant external factors (for example, diet and exercise), and thus incorporate multiple genetic, environmental and developmental variables into comprehensive models describing susceptibility to obesity and its progression. Such a model is represented by a new paradigm for complex-trait analysis, the 'collaborative cross' (CC) [15].
The CC is a large panel of recombinant inbred mouse lines derived from a genetically diverse set of eight founder strains (Figure 1). It has a distribution of allele frequencies resembling that seen in human populations, in which many variants are found at low frequencies and only a minority of variants are common [16]. The eight parental inbred lines contributing to the CC are estimated to capture more than 90% of the known variation present in all mouse strains. Existing data on the founder strains and on many of the early generations in development of the CC demonstrate broad variability in many obesity phenotypes (F Pardo-Manuel de Villena, DW Threadgill, D Pomp, unpublished data), indicating that the CC will represent an excellent resource for identifying genes controlling predisposition to many traits relevant to obesity, and for understanding the pathways, networks and systems that control obesity.
Not only are new models of obesity being developed, but the approaches used to evaluate such models are rapidly evolving. For example, the blending of technologies to study genes, genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes and metabolomes in order to identify the molecular basis for common diseases such as obesity is on the increase [17]. This 'systems biology' approach incorporates the synergistic connections between 'omic' and environmental influences into a comprehensive framework.
What does the future hold?
Although tools for risk prediction can be created using combinations of predisposition genes [18] and lifestyle information, their impact may be limited because the individual effects of genes uncovered by GWA studies appear to be quite modest, and obesity may be caused by a multitude of rare, as opposed to common, variants. Novel obesity loci detected by either GWA studies or systems-biology approaches may be more likely to inform the development of therapeutic drugs. Additional analyses may detect variants that exhibit differences in effect between genders, between populations, at diverse ages, or have an impact on shifts in obesity over time or in response to environmental changes such as dietary intake and physical activity.
As if the dissection of genetic predisposition to obesity were not confusing enough, emerging complexities are sure to muddy the waters further. For example, there is evidence that it is not just a person's genome that helps determine their obesity phenotype, but also the genomes of the multitude of commensal bacteria that populate the digestive tract [19]. There are also studies suggesting that what a person eats (and potentially other experiences as well) not only affects their own body-weight phenotype, but can also (in the case of women) affect the body-weight phenotype of their offspring through epigenetic mechanisms [20]. While the evidence in humans is still contentious [21], it is possible that these epigenetic effects can persist across multiple generations, a process known as transgenerational epigenetic inheritance. Such a mode of inheritance, if established and shown to have effects on obesity, would represent a significant shift in the way we conceptualize, and research, the genetics of obesity both in animal models and in humans.

CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Ubuntu 11.10 amd64
I launch some application that use only one core and when I look at cpu-load graphic in
gnome-system-monitor I found that all of my four CPU's loaded not symmetrically: most of all (by time) loaded CPU2, then CPU1, then CPU3 and CPU4 was loaded for 10sec only. CPU2 was loaded at 100% for 3minutes without rest. When no application that uses a lot of CPU runing I also have CPU4 loaded lower than others. Ubuntu try to kill my PC or it's should be like this?

Despite these challenges, many refugee families continue to dream of an education for their children. The Jesuit Refugee Service Nairobi education programme helps make this dream a reality for more than 200 children every year.
JRS organized a special prayer day for 15 students who were taking their final secondary school exams in November. Successful exam results earn students the Kenya Certificate of Education, a defining step towards a positive future and the realisation of long-held ambitions. The group is JRS' pioneer class; they started their secondary education in 2009. Supported by JRS, they receive school fees, uniforms and books.
Young, new but excited to be joining secondary school, I vividly recall the programme orientation day as the group prepared for their first day at school. The girls and boys were anxious about not being able to cope with the pressures of secondary education and young adulthood.
Four years on, and the students have made us proud with their boundless enthusiasm, dedication and hard work. Continued prayer, guidance, support and accompaniment from both JRS staff and their parents have helped these young people achieve their potential.
The prayer day brought happiness to everyone in attendance. A group of more than 45 younger students watched as their peers lit candles of hope to celebrate their educational journey and to pray for exam success. Parents and JRS staff joined with the students to cut a slice of celebratory cake inscribed with words from Psalm 23: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."Amidst the joy of the day, a student delivered these inspiring words: "JRS has been more than a sponsor to us. We have received the very best treatment, it has helped change our lives and built our self esteem."
As part of the offering, the students streamed to the altar accompanied by their parent or guardian, clutching a lighted candle to symbolise the presence of God's light in their life's path. Each parent placed their hands on their child's head and bowed for dedication prayers, calling upon the help of God to walk along with them.
After the prayer, all 15 candles were 'planted' in sand, symbolising the deep roots of faith and God's love for his children.
One parent explained to me the meaning of the JRS support for her family. "It was difficult for us as parents to figure out how our children could join secondary school in Kenya. But through the scholarship scheme, we have been able to focus on supporting our family livelihoods, while JRS has involved us in continuous planning and discussions on our children's progress. We thank the Lord for bringing JRS to help us."

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to accomplish far more than all we ask or imagine, by the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Century Avenue is cleaner today. A working-class street of mixed nationalities, this area was shattered by last week's storm. A 12-foot wall of water slammed into this area a week ago yesterday, leaving high water marks over garage doors, trapping families for days on their second floors, and pulling down telephone poles and breaking windows a half mile inland.
There were 22 people who died in Staten Island attributed to Hurricane Sandy, and the wind carried the stink of spoiled food and damp clothing piled by the local residents into the streets far inland.
But Monday was different as two CH-53s from USS Wasp (LHD-1) carried 45 Marines from the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit to one of Staten Island's hardest-hit areas. Led by Maj. James Zepco, the Marines were a mixed element of combat logistics and combat engineers. Their mission seemed simple: to assist the Department of Sanitation and pick up garbage.
But as one group of nine Marines and a corpsman under Gunnery Sgt. Chris Pilats quickly discovered, it wasn't quite so simple. The 5- to 6-feet high piles of garbage included furniture, clothing and spoiled food and it choked the streets.
The Marines also discovered how grateful the residents were for their appearance—other than a recently-erected FEMA tent and a police presence that patrolled the main road, Father [Vincent R.] Capodanno Blvd., the only interaction with government had been with the building inspectors who condemned their homes. But walking to Colony Ave., Pilats' Marines let them know things were different.
As the Marines walked up Midland Avenue from their baseball field landing zone, they stopped to talk with the civilians who had gathered on the street. "Oh my God, it's the Marines," said Jamie Moreno. Moreno is a volunteer from St. Ignatius Roman Catholic Church in neighboring Brooklyn, and she was quick to offer a few of the bottles of water and work gloves they'd come to donate. "No, we're OK, said Cpl. Michael Sanchez, "keep it for those who need it."
Two streets farther up, the Marines turned onto Colony Ave., and met up with Bill Motley, a Department of Sanitation employee and local resident. He had two garbage trucks waiting, and as he and Gunnery Sgt. Pilats met and shook hands, Pilats turned to his Marines and told them, "Let's clear the street."
The Marines sprang into action. Attacking piles of trash that ranged from sofas to wallboard to refrigerators, the Marines loaded into both trucks simultaneously.
"I've been working since early this morning, and these Marines were able to do more in 20 minutes than we did all day," Motley said.
Onsum Dugan, a Korean-American whose house had been ruined, and her husband had laboriously stuffed their ruined household goods into large trash bags which were neatly stacked on her still-wet small lawn. Seeing the Marines working towards her, she shyly motioned a Marine to her.
"Can you help me lift these? I'm not able to carry them to the truck," she said.
Overhearing her, Pilats called, "I need two Marines, now."
Four immediately came to assist. As she watched her household goods being thrown into a trash truck, she suddenly realized she was being assisted by Marines as she smiled.
Two houses away, her neighbor, Manoo Soni and her husband were clearing out their house, but stopped to watch as the Marine contingent methodically worked their way towards them. Watching the young Marines laughing and talking with her neighbors, she teared-up.
"I've never seen our military up close before; they've come to help. They're here to help us," she said.
The Marines and residents seemed to take energy from each other; with the residents helping lift chairs, sofas and sodden clothing into the trucks. Sgt. Steven Yelton grabbed a shovel from one of the trucks and furiously swept wallboard scraps from the streets —and two more Marines joined him.
Although still without power and cold, at least Colony Avenue was clean. As Pilats' Marines left the street to return to the beach-side landing zone for a flight back to USS Wasp, Dugan had one question for Lance Cpl. Benjamin Turner.
"Are you coming back tomorrow?"

1 lb raw shrimp, peeled, tails intact
1 cup cornmeal
1 egg
2 tablespoons Old Bay
black pepper
canola oil
Whisk together the salt, pepper, Old Bay, and cornmeal. Pour into a shallow bowl and set aside. Beat an egg in a second bowl. Heat about 1 1/2 inches of oil in a large saucepan or skillet, enough to cover the shrimp. Dredge the shrimp in egg, then dip into the cornmeal mixture. Make sure all sides are coated. Heat about 1/2 in oil in a large pan. Drop in a single layer into the hot oil and cook about 3 minutes or until crisp and cooked through. They should sink then you put them in, then float when cooked. Drain on paper towel lined plates. Serve hot.
My thoughts:To me, nothing says "Summer" like Old Bay whether it is in steamed crabs, potato salad, shrimp salad, sprinkled on french fries or deviled eggs. I had never made fried shrimp before but it couldn't be easier. I used a large fairly shallow skillet and was able to cook most of the shrimp at the same time and they didn't need to be flipped so it was even easier than most things to pan-fry. As for the shrimp themselves? The greaseless* outside was perfectly spiced by the Old Bay, is crisp while the inside is bursting with sweet juicy shrimp flavor.
*The trick is to make sure the oil is really hot before adding the shrimp. If it is too cool, the food will absorb the oil.

I haven't used it, but I have seen a few of his tuition videos, and they go a little fast for me. If you are a reasonably good jazz player, he will definitely take you to a higher level. Well, that's my thoughts, but I really don't know what it's like to be a registered member of his classes. I really love his playing, though.

His videos are jam packed with info.
What's the one where he shows how he plays the changes of "TWNBAY" in five positions? I went to his site today and looked at the videos but didn't see any that seemed like that one. Am I confusing him with someone else???

I find this one interesting in many ways - over an hour long:
Barry got back to me fast:
>>>Yes, the lesson is called 5 Position Study. I believe it's in the Essentials Folder of my Subscription site.<<<<
That's why I couldn't find it among the videos, as it is subscription lesson. I'll have to look into a month of that at least---will be interesting to see how it goes along with Richie Zellon's fingerings. (I am committed to giving Richie---and myself via his teaching---a full year of daily work on his approach. So that comes first.)
O, Barry sends best wishes to all the members here. I passed along good wishes for the new year to him on behalf of us all.

All the scale fingers I've ever seen are I'd guess 95% the same. Some will stretch where others shift usually based on one note and usually dealing with G and B string. I've looked a little at Richie's fingering and that's the only difference I see is patterns I'd put a note on the G string he's putting on B.
I'm with Barry too.
His lessons are clear, thorough and in four defined streams/"folders" that you can work through.
They are : - Essential lesson folder
-Tune based folder
- Topic driven folder
- Chord melody folder
These all come under the one umbrella .....IOW you don't sign up for any one folder ....your subscription
allows you access to all the lessons and it's up to you to pick what you want/need to work on.
The PDF's that go with each lesson have become more comprehensive as he's built up to the 100+ he has
available. But don't expect everything he plays to be transcribed.
Bear in mind that these lessons are pretty in depth and Barry is no slouch......in fact he's fast.
Very recently he's introduced a new system for viewing the the lessons with a slow-down and loop function.
I think this now makes his material more accessible to more players.
The lesson working through "There Will Never Be Another You" ......AKA TWBAY is not one of the growing
number of individual lessons that you can buy as a download.
Here's Barry's intro text to the TWNBAY vid.
5 Position Study :
"One of the most often requested videos is ready for prime time This lesson uses the tune "There Will Never be Another You" to demonstrate my methods of tune learning and gaining fretboard knowledge. PDF file is included and contains all chord voicings in all of the 5 positions studied."
If you wanted to see if it's right for you, just sign up for the 3 day option and have a gander. [very inexpensive option]

Not that I doubt the study at all, I just want to be sure I get the most out of it. I recognise many of the shapes from either drop 2/3 or shell voicings.
The objective of the 5 position approach is to direct you towards the mastery of the fingerboard. Most guitarists struggle when their hand lands in a certain position, in a certain key. They run out of room. They paint themselves into a corner. Even accomplished players. Knowing Eb, for example, in all areas of the neck, is essential to gaining the freedom required to improvise. So the 5 position ( which covers the whole neck) approach in all major (with related modes) and minor melodic keys is absolutely necessary. Barry gets you to work on this and there is no other remedy if you want to be an accomplished jazz guitarist. Once you're able to connect these positions, you will be breaking through many barriers.

In each position you should know all your chord voicings(like the PDF teaches you), the relevant scale shapes, arpeggios etc. So you are basically grouping it all in 5 positions. Which is how I have thought about it lately, cause it's a lot better to get an overview. Correct?
Edit: I just went through all the I chords in the study, and guess what, it was position 1=C, 2= A, 3= G 4=D, so CAGED all over. That was great to see. It means that the work I have been doing in the Joe Elliott Introduction to jazz soloing, is basically Barry. He also labels it as pattern 1-5. So by continuing the book I will learn the melodic minor in all the positions, according to Barry's method as well
I know Barry isn't using arpeggios a lot, but still, learning the melodic minor and major scale in 5 different patterns is the exact same :-)

I like to go through the cycle of fifths instead of key to key. And yes, the CAGED system is a different but similar way of getting through a key on all areas of the fingerboard and is based on basic chord shapes. The way I see it, for example Eb, start playing the scale on string five, fret 6 using your pinky. Then start with your middle finger. You'll have two positions covered. Do the same at string 6, fret eleven. The fifth position will basically come when you start in this position using your first finger and extend past the twelfth fret (F minor also mirrored on fret one of the fingerboard)
...and yes, melodic minor is essenetial (using the same method) if you're going to properly deal with altered dominant, flat 9, half diminished and yes, minor chords.
Originally Posted by Fazmaster
I think CAGED is 100% identical, except the name. In fact, I did a random test on two of Barry's major fingerings from his book, and they are identical to how I know them. He calls then position X(insert number), and I call them position Y(insert letter). I think that's great, because it makes even easier to start with for 5 position people
However. my question was more regarding the position study in terms of voicings. How do you take that study onwards to another tune? Do you reuse the voicings etc. I mean not all the melody notes in a different tune will fit his extensions.

E7(#9,b13) = E G# D C G
F Dorian = F G Ab Bb C D Eb
No E in F dorian o.O
Last edited by znerken; 12-09-2018 at 01:13 PM.
I think you're off a semi tone here. F melodic is related to E7 type chords, not Eb.
F mel min starting on E
E F (b9) G (#9) Ab (3rd) Bb (b5) C (#5/b13) D (7th) E (R)
F dorian is pushing the boundaries because E is not part of the scale but oddly, it works providing your time is solid..
transposes a semi tone lower for Eb7 type chords

Testet with for example Dm11(b5), and it fit perfect. Nice. So the easiest way to know which scale, I guess, is to think about what chord that Secret Jazz Chord would represent, if it were the first(dorian chord). So if you are playing a Dm11(b5), you know that if it were a dorian, it would be Fm6/9, so you know you can use F melodic minor or F dorian.
So I watched Barry's Line Connection video, and I now understand that in a way he takes CAGED a step further? He always identifies which chord scale to use, by the relevant drop 2 chord being underneath the position he is in. So he has 5 positions, and 5 places to play F Dorian, for example. Now, does he then have 5 positions for all the other 6 chords in Eb-major? Which of course would be the same positions, just different ways to identify them.
Wouldn't you get the same effect, by just using CAGED, or 5 positions, and identifying them by which key you are in? You are in Ebmaj, position 1, you know all your arpeggios, so you know how to target chord tones, and you know your major and melodic minor scales, so you know how to use notes besides chord tones?
I'm not too sure how Barry does it. I did the 3 day trial on his site which was nice. Great player. But I was looking for some very specific stuff that wasn't necessarily on his site, for me.
I use the 5 CAGED shapes(ala Pat Martino and Howard Roberts, and many others). I also use 3NPS from plenty of rock playing in the day But Caged is my go to with scales, Arps and even pents when I really want to hit the changes.
I don't think about starting on a different finger, I just see each shape completely and in my mind highlight the root note(of the mode) and chord of that particular mode. But I have to see everything across the neck-in this case with CAGED I see 5 shapes each covering one of 5 chord shapes for a type of chord(Maj, min, Dom).
I've worked this out For Major/Ionian(Tonic, and often group vi I and iii in this), Dorian(subdominant-ii IV) and Mixolidian(dominant V vii).
It's kinda like Herb Ellis but I don't have the Dorian and Mixolidian shapes solely off the E and A shapes. I've worked them out for me with all 5 shapes. In the end this was the easiest way to make the changes in my improv.
Barry's lessons are amazing that's for sure and for only $19.99 a month its an amazing deal
Okay, it's been a while. Been working with the 5 position study and the SJC. I am not quite sure I grasp the use of the SJC yet though? Well, specifically about the scale approach. Okay, so I have found out what the different dorian and melodic minor shapes are underneath each voicing, but
Why is this so important? You still got to be aware what you are playing? So if you are using the voicing for an alternated dominant chord, you still would think melodic minor 1 step above? If you are using it as a dorian chord, you still got to think either X dorian, or x dorian in relation to Y major? How did you all approach the SJC? Barry says it is one of the most important thing he did to unlock fretboard mastery and knowledge. How come I don't see it yet? I am probably the one to blame, but a friendly push in the right direction would be much appreciated!
What is the SJC? sorry for my ignorance
As a joke I was going to suggest 'secret jazz chord' but maybe it is!
Yes the Secret jazz chord
A bit of googling suggests this is somewhat similar to Pat Martino's 'convert everything to minor' approach.
If so then yes you would need to 'convert' each time.
I don't know much about Barry Greene's approach, but I've dabbled with the Pat Martino thing and it does get easier eventually, you start to associate the right lines with the right chords without having to mentally 'convert to minor' each time.
great!! .thanks!!!

It's probably inspired by Pat, but not in the way you suggest, I think? Sign up for a free trial and watch the video on SJC. It's a sweet voicing. You probably already use it for either altered dominants or Ø711.
I found a true fire pdf which suggests you play the same minor scales on the 6 various chord types yielded by the 'secret chord'. That is in fact very similar to Martino's minor conversion approach.

I assume it just gives a few more sounds/flavours/extensions etc. But I don't really know what Barry's reasons are.
Must admit I tend to think of 'minor' as one general entity, the differences between MM and Dorian etc. just being details. I tend to use a lot of chromatic passing notes in lines, which I suppose blurs these distinctions a bit. I guess I'm always trying to think in terms of melodic lines rather than scales as such.
But I have found Martino's minor thing useful, like him I always found it easier to hear and play minor lines for some reason. So using them to unlock dominant and altered dominant sounds in particular was a big step forwards for me.

Any more thoughts/opinions on Barry's secret chord video? I don't have that one...yet.
