The $140,000-a-Year Welding Job – WSJ
This is a great story in the Wall Street Journal which showcases high paying careers that are often overlooked.
This isn't really news to us. Here at New England Tech, higher education means far more than simply earning a college degree. Each program has been thoughtfully designed with input from industry experts, and is taught by instructors who have worked in the field.
New England Tech is working to help fill the #SkillsGap with Associate, Bachelor's, Master's and online degrees in programs that are in demand like Manufacturing, Health Sciences, Information Technology and NEW Associate degree in Welding Engineering Technology.
Along with the SAMI program, which was developed in partnership with Rhode Island employers who have a demand for skilled welders and machinists.
The article below was printed in the Wall Street Journal January 7,2015. NEIT makes no representations concerning comparable compensation and/or employment opportunities.
From the Wall Street Journal:
HOUSTON—Justin Friend's parents have doctoral degrees and have worked as university lecturers and researchers. So Mr. Friend might have been expected to head for a university after graduating from high school in Bryan, Texas, five years ago.
Instead, he attended Texas State Technical College in Waco, and received a two-year degree in welding. In 2013, his first full year as a welder, his income was about $130,000, more than triple the average annual wages for welders in the U.S. In 2014, Mr. Friend's income rose to about $140,000.
That has allowed the 24-year-old to buy a $53,000 Ford F-250 pickup truck, invest in mutual funds and dabble in his hobbies, such as making jet engines, including one he attached to a golf cart. "Not everybody needs a four-year college degree," said Kathryn Vaughan, his mother, a retired biology lecturer who spent part of her career at Texas A&M University. The risks of a mismatch between costly university degrees and job opportunities have become clearer in recent years.
Anthony Carnevale, director of the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, said nearly a third of people aged 22 through 26 with a Bachelor of Arts degree either don't have a job or are working at one that doesn't require a university degree. The numbers are similar for young people with vocational degrees, but those lower-cost degrees don't typically lead to heavy debts.
When he graduated from Texas State Technical College in 2012, Mr. Friend quickly found a job at Acute Technological Services, a Houston-based unit of Oil States International Inc. Acute, which employs about 70 welders, mostly does work for the energy industry. Mr. Friend is usually dispatched to a plant that makes subsea oil-production equipment.

RI robot maker building a bridge over workforce skills gap
New England Institute of Technology's (NEIT) NEW Associate Degree program in Advanced Manufacturing Technology has been developed in conjunction with companies like Yushin America to address a critical need for its workforce.
The new Advanced Manufacturing Technology degree, as part of NEIT's Bachelor's degree in Manufacturing Engineering Technology, is designed to assist employers in hiring individuals with the right skills. Yushin America in Cranston, RI, has hired more than 60 NEIT graduates of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program.
From Providence Journal:
Rhode Islanders may do a double-take when they hear Governor Raimondo talk about manufacturing as a key to reviving the economy and creating jobs.
After all, isn't manufacturing all about the past? Doesn't she see all those closed brick factories? Didn't manufacturing jobs peak in the 1940s, and haven't they been sliding ever since?
But Raimondo is talking about a different type of manufacturing, called advanced manufacturing, that produces precise, engineered-to-order, high-end products for the medical-device, defense, aerospace and other industries.
This manufacturing is all about the future, and it pays middle-income wages.
But she pointed out they are not the low-skill manufacturing jobs of the past, but newer, advanced manufacturing jobs that require highly trained workers. Rhode Island should be primed to take advantage.
"We need the skills to fill the jobs that are our opportunity," she said.
After Raimondo visited the Yushin America facility in Cranston last month to outline her plan to create jobs and revamp the state's workforce training system, I talked with Michael Greenhalgh, operations director at Yushin.
He said Yushin, a unit of Yushin Precision Equipment Co. Ltd. of Japan, is completing a $2-million expansion and wants to hire 14 more workers. Some would be at a starting pay of $12 to $13 an hour. Others would be paid about $50,000 a year.
But, Greenhalgh can't find workers with the skills he needs.
But the real answer is more qualified candidates coming out of the vocational and technical schools or colleges, or better training of workers who are in transition from declining industries.
It's a good idea, but I don't think Rhode Island can wait years for a regional solution.
State leaders should already be working to figure out how to close the skills gap.
The state has fallen behind its neighbors in advanced manufacturing. But with the right focus and commitment, there's no reason it can't catch up and overtake its competitors.
Manufacturing, an old industry that's retooling for the future, deserves a solid second look.

Skilled Work Force Needs Infusion of Youth
Regardless of whether or not the Senate passes the bill that would limit which companies able to bid on public works contracts one thing is clear, there is a pressing need for more skilled workers.
- 52% of Rhode Island's licensed plumbers are 50 or older
- 58% of Rhode Island's licensed pipe-fitters are 50 or older
- 52% of Rhode Island's licensed electricians are 50 or older
Critics warn that contract-bidding bill could create problems
From the Providence Journal:
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — A labor-backed push to restrict who can bid on public-works contracts could also create more work for the state, a study commission was told Monday.
The commission on apprenticeship programs and public-works contracts was created last year after a bid-limiting bill passed the Senate but stalled in the House. The group met for the first time on Monday for a presentation from the state Department of Labor and Training.
For two consecutive years, the Senate has passed a bill that would limit who can bid on state and local construction contracts worth $1 million or more. The contracts would have been limited to companies with approved apprenticeship programs that can guarantee apprentices will work at least 10 percent of the project's hours.
Joseph Degnan, assistant director for work force regulation and safety at the DLT, said the state's data show a prevalence of older workers in some licensed trades. Supporters of last year's bill have argued for a need to provide a younger, skilled work force.
Of the state's 1,954 licensed plumbers, 1,029 are 50 or older. Of the state's 5,599 licensed pipe-fitters, 3,231 are 50 or older. Of 5,736 licensed electricians, 2,972 are 50 or older, Degnan said.
The DLT did not take a policy position on last year's bill, but Matthew Weldon, DLT assistant director, warned that enforcement of the standard will mean more work for the department.

Clash of robots puts technology skills to test
Fantastic story in the Warwick Beacon highlighting the First Robotics competition that took place on our campus over the weekend. Congratulations to all who competed.
via Clash of robots puts technology skills to test – Warwick Beacon.
While most were focused on the big New England Patriots game, the students who participated in Saturday's For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST) competition proved that they, too, were the weekend's real winners.
"I would say the majority of these kids do not participate in sports," joked Warwick Veterans Memorial High School robotics team coach Larry West. "They've put a lot of time and effort into this, and this contest gives kids another way to compete rather than through sports."
Hundreds of students and spectators filled the New England Institute of Technology's Center for Automotive Technology (NEIT) building with Super Bowl sized enthusiasm. They'd come for a competition featuring deflate-proof wiffle and ping-pong balls, and tech savvy young adults who'd journeyed for months to engage in futuristic robot skirmishes.
"We've put over 150 hours into this, definitely," said lead programmer Kevin Sanita of the Veterans team, which goes by the name Cane Bots. "It's intense."
The daylong event was a flurry of activity that made Star Trek's faster than light warp drive technology seem slow and outdated by comparison. Thirty-three teams, comprised of 250 middle and high school students from throughout the state, met to showcase robots that they'd designed, built and programmed.
"Today our hope is that the students participating enjoy the competition while at the same time use math and engineering principals to win," said Steve Kitchin, NEIT's Vice President for Corporate Education and Training.
The competition gives teens programming and prototype development experience and problem solving and team building skills while constructing robots to competition specifications. Winning teams go on to compete at regional and national competitions for college scholarships. Dozens of robots filled the center, partaking in a series of contests with serious sets of rules and guidelines.
"We understand that ensuring that young people have opportunities like this, and begin to think of careers in science and engineering, are critical to the future of our state," said Congressman David Cicilline at the event. "In addition to being great fun, watching [students] do this gives us a lot of hope in the future of our state and country."
Warwick's contingent of students was well represented by both public and private schools, with Vets, Rocky Hill School and Bishop Hendricken participating.
"This is a culmination of their four months of efforts in trying to put this robot together to accomplish these tasks," said Hendricken coach Rick Notardonato, whose team went through three robot designs this season. Their robot's name is Robo Hawk. "This is an opportunity for them to do hands on learning that they don't really have an opportunity to do in any of their classes, it's really big for them," he said.
The contest pits teams against one another as their robots completed automated- and team-guided tasks. The competition was closely monitored by referees and judges to ensure fairness and quality.
"I'm an engineer, and I think this is so important for kids. I absolutely love it," said Helen Greathouse, who served as head judge for the eighth year. "There's a gracious professionalism that's such a big part of this event. We like to see teams helping each other. One team gave another a new battery; they loan each other tools. There's almost an alliance between teams that may have never worked together before."
The contest saw tremendous excitement early on with Warwick Vets team stunning the crowd by performing exceptionally well during an early round. Their high score came in the "Cascade Effect" event, where robots collect and strategically place wiffle and ping-pong balls.
"We've had one competition so far and we're on our way to our second," said Sanita after the round. "The first one, the autonomous part didn't go exactly as planned, but it was very close. We got good points, we got 384 points in that round!"
"Did you see what Vets did during that round? That may be a national scoring record, that was an incredible performance," said Hendricken coach Notardonato.
While the competition saw the Aquidneck Island, Burrillville and Mt. Hope teams advance to the Eastern Super Regional Tournament in Scranton, Pa. in March, the Warwick Vets team's success in the competition was recognized when they received the competition's Think Award.
According to competition rules, the judged Think Award is given to the team that best reflects the "journey" the team took as they experienced the engineering design process during the season. The team's engineering notebook, a log kept throughout the year, is the reference used by judges in determining the award.
"This competition is a cross curricular format. There's English used, the kids have to maintain a notebook for this, and math and programming go hand and hand," said coach West. "I'm just really proud of the kids for getting together and working so well."
Regardless of the final outcome, it was clear that all the students involved were winners for achieving so much from their positive experiences.
"I'd like to thank everyone involved in this, it's been amazing," said programmer Sanita. "Whether or not we win, it's still amazing what we did, and it's amazing what all these people here did."

Effects of exercise training on glucose homeostasis: the HERITAGE Family Study.
ABSTRACT To determine the effect of a 20-week endurance training program in healthy, previously sedentary participants on measures derived from an intravenous glucose tolerance test (i.v.GTT).
An i.v.GTT was performed before and after a standardized training program in 316 women and 280 men (173 blacks and 423 whites). Participants exercised on cycle ergometers 3 days per week for 60 sessions. The exercise intensity was progressively increased from 55% VO2max for 30 min per session to 75% VO2max for 50 min per session.
Mean insulin sensitivity increased by 10% (P < 0.001) following the intervention, but the variability in the changes was high. Men had larger improvements than women (P = 0.02). Improvements in fasting insulin were transitory, disappearing 72 h after the last bout of exercise. There were also significant mean increases in the glucose disappearance index (3%, P = 0.02) and in glucose effectiveness (11%, P < 0.001), measures of glucose tolerance and of the capacity of glucose to mediate its own disposal, respectively. The acute insulin response to glucose, a measure of insulin secretion, increased by 7% in the quartile with the lowest baseline glucose tolerance and decreased by 14% in the quartile with the highest baseline glucose tolerance (P < 0.001). The glucose area below fasting levels during the i.v.GTT was reduced by 7% (P = 0.02).
Although the effects of structured regular exercise were highly variable, there were improvements in virtually all i.v.GTT-derived variables. In the absence of substantial weight loss, regular exercise is required for sustained improvements in glucose homeostasis.

- "However, although the number of mitochondria might be reduced in an insulin resistant skeletal muscle, the mitochondrial respiratory capacity can be maintained normal (Larsen et al. 2011). As such, the accumulation of ectopic " high-risk " fat and adipocyte function are important mechanisms in mediating the prolonged effects of life-long regular exercise on glucose metabolism (Goodpaster et al. 2000; Boule et al. 2005; Petersen and Shulman 2006; Dube et al. 2008; Leskinen et al. 2009b; Taube et al. 2009; Rector and Thyfault 2011). Notably, the cotwins did not differ significantly in either body weight or BMI (see Table 1), and there were no differences in their fat intakes (Rintala et al. 2011), yet the inactive co-twins had significantly more visceral, intramuscular , and liver fat, as we have reported earlier (Leskinen et al. 2009b). "
Article: Physically active vs. inactive lifestyle, muscle properties, and glucose homeostasis in middle-aged and older twins[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Exercise-induced positive changes in skeletal muscle properties and metabolism decrease the risk for disability, cardiometabolic diseases and mortality. Here, we studied muscle properties and glucose homeostasis in a non-exercise stage in twin pairs with co-twins discordant for physical activity habits for at least 32 years of their adult lives. Isometric knee extension force, MR imaging of midthigh tissue composition and muscle volume, and fasting blood samples were acquired from 16 same-sex (seven monozygotic, nine dizygotic) middle-aged and older twin pairs. The consistently active twins had 20 % higher knee extension forces than their inactive co-twins (p = 0.006) although the active twins had only 4 % higher midthigh muscle cross-sectional areas (p = 0.072). These results were similar in intrapair analysis in which only the seven identical twin pairs were included. The ratio between the area of midthigh fat and muscle tissues was significantly lower among the active twins (0.65 vs. 0.48, p = 0.006). The active twins had also lower fasting plasma glucose levels (5.1 vs 5.6 mmol/l, p = 0.041). The area of midthigh intramuscular (extramyocellular) fat was associated with the markers of glucose homeostasis, especially with glycated hemoglobin, and these associations were emphasized by the diabetic and inactive twins. Regular exercise throughout the adult life retains muscle strength and quality but not necessarily mass. The regular use of muscles also prevents from the accumulation of intramuscular fat which might be related to maintained glucose metabolism and, thus, prevention of metabolic disorders.Age 11/2012; 35(5).

- "However, one often overlooked point is that there still is substantial interindividual variability in this response. For example, while HERITAGE found that exercise training significantly improved glucose and insulin metabolism in the overall group, 42% of their participants did not change or actually had worse insulin sensitivity after exercise training (Boule et al. 2005). In addition, for their other measures of glucose and insulin metabolism, again ~50% of individuals either did not change or had worse measures after training. "
ABSTRACT: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is at virtually pandemic levels world-wide. Diabetes has been referred to as 'a geneticist's nightmare'. However, dramatic advances in our understanding of the genetics of T2DM have occurred in the past 5 years. While endurance exercise training and increased habitual physical activity levels have consistently been shown to improve or be associated with improved T2DM-related phenotypes, there is substantial interindividual variation in these responses. There is some evidence that T2DM-related phenotype responses to exercise training are heritable, indicating that they might have a genetic basis. Genome-wide linkage studies have not identified specific chromosomal loci that could account for these differences, and no genome-wide association studies have been performed relative to T2DM-related phenotype responses to exercise training. From candidate gene studies, there are relatively strong and replicated data supporting a role for the PPARγ Pro12Ala variant in the interindividual differences in T2DM-related phenotype responses to training. This is a potentially important candidate locus because it affects T2DM susceptibility, has high biological plausibility and is the target for the primary pharmaceutical method for treating T2DM. Is it time to conduct a hypothesis-driven large-scale exercise training intervention trial based on PPARγ Pro12Ala genotype with T2DM-related phenotypes as the primary outcome measures, while also assessing potential mechanistic changes in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue? Or would it be more appropriate to propose a smaller trial to address the specific skeletal muscle and adipose tissue mechanisms affected by the interaction between the PPARγ Pro12Ala genotype and exercise training?Acta Physiologica 06/2012; 205(4):456-71. DOI:10.1111/j.1748-1716.2012.02455.x · 4.25 Impact Factor
- "Alternatively, it could be that our small sample included several non-responders. Previous studies have comprehensively demonstrated that following a period of exercise training part of the population will not adapt for specific parameters (non-responders), and for insulin sensitivity this has been shown to be the case for up to 40% of the population (Boule et al. 2005; Vollaard et al. 2009; Bouchard and Rankinen 2001). Therefore, further studies with larger sample sizes will be needed to confirm or refute our initial observations. "
Article: Towards the minimal amount of exercise for improving metabolic health: beneficial effects of reduced-exertion high-intensity interval training[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: High-intensity interval training (HIT) has been proposed as a time-efficient alternative to traditional cardiorespiratory exercise training, but is very fatiguing. In this study, we investigated the effects of a reduced-exertion HIT (REHIT) exercise intervention on insulin sensitivity and aerobic capacity. Twenty-nine healthy but sedentary young men and women were randomly assigned to the REHIT intervention (men, n = 7; women, n = 8) or a control group (men, n = 6; women, n = 8). Subjects assigned to the control groups maintained their normal sedentary lifestyle, whilst subjects in the training groups completed three exercise sessions per week for 6 weeks. The 10-min exercise sessions consisted of low-intensity cycling (60 W) and one (first session) or two (all other sessions) brief 'all-out' sprints (10 s in week 1, 15 s in weeks 2-3 and 20 s in the final 3 weeks). Aerobic capacity ([Formula: see text]) and the glucose and insulin response to a 75-g glucose load (OGTT) were determined before and 3 days after the exercise program. Despite relatively low ratings of perceived exertion (RPE 13 ± 1), insulin sensitivity significantly increased by 28% in the male training group following the REHIT intervention (P < 0.05). [Formula: see text] increased in the male training (+15%) and female training (+12%) groups (P < 0.01). In conclusion we show that a novel, feasible exercise intervention can improve metabolic health and aerobic capacity. REHIT may offer a genuinely time-efficient alternative to HIT and conventional cardiorespiratory exercise training for improving risk factors of T2D.Arbeitsphysiologie 11/2011; 112(7):2767-75.

Herald Sun: Beating the Odds:Expanded CPR training saving lives in Durham
by Keith Upchurch
A woman was jogging with her fiancé in Durham when he collapsed from a heart attack, but she administered CPR and revived him.
First responders arrived and took over, but he might have died without her help.
Stories like that keep Capt. David Jacobs of the Durham Fire Department committed to a program that's close to his heart: Training as many Durham residents as possible in CPR.
Jacobs has worked for the past five years to bring CPR training to high schools, public housing and other areas of Durham, and his efforts are paying off.
In 2010, Jacobs visited Seattle, Washington, and was amazed that their rate of saving heart attack victims was nearly 45 percent, compared to 5 percent in Durham and rest of North Carolina.
Jacobs knew Durham could do better.
He attended a resuscitation academy in Seattle and learned they had created a foundation called Medic One that paid for equipment and advanced training for their fire department's emergency medical services (EMS) team.
That lit a fire under Jacobs, and he arranged for the foundation to sponsor the Durham Fire Department's effort to expand CPR into the community.
"All the fundraising the Durham Fire Department does is sent to them (Seattle-based Medic One)," Jacobs said. "They put it in an account. There's a one-time, 10 percent fee to manage it for us, and then they just pay bills as we buy things and train people."

Kiro TV: Firefighters rescue 2 dogs from burning home
SEATTLE - Fire investigators are working to find out what ignited a fire at a home in which two dogs were rescued overnight.The fire started around 11 p.m. Wednesday in a backyard in Seward Park.The flames quickly shot up the back of the house and spread into the attic.One witness said they could hear a boom from a block away."It sounded like a big firework went off. We looked over here and there were just big clouds of smoke and it looked like a house fire," said witness Jeffrey Owen.The residents weren't home, but two dogs were trapped. After the rescue, firefighters reunited the owners with their pets.Fire officials say the damage is too extensive for the residents to move back in.

Ideas will lower debt by $2.5m
We ask the council to consider the following ideas which will reduce ratepayer debt by up to $2.5 million.
The money saved could be used to renovate the council offices, heating system, renovate the Lions Pool, contribute to the new hospital and clean up the old dump sites that are significant threats to our freshwater and marine environments.
These ideas are:
- Demolish the PGG building and construct a new single-storey museum, negate the flood risk by raising the floor and use the $50,000 architects plan.
- Retain the existing library which adequately services the needs of everybody, including elderly and disabled.
- Line the Lions Pool, add a roof and upgrade the heating systems.
These ideas would:
- Place the new museum beside the bus stops, a superior location
- Improve council offices to cater for present needs without the expense of a new building.
- Justify the purchase of the PGG building, which is a substantial financial ratepayer burden.
In January 2013 there will be significant changes to Local Government legislation including caps on council debt, rates increases and council project expenditure.
This means the building of the new proposed complex will prevent the council from fully honouring its agreement to assist with funding the community's new hospital.
The council has failed to comply with its own significance policy with regards to the proposed complex. Ninety per cent of submissions on the LTP were against this complex.
All Kaikoura district residents pay rates directly or indirectly through rent and all are suffering from declining incomes.

Raj CM lays foundation of Rs 914 cr highway project
Rajasamand (Rajasthan): As part of the state`s ambitious Rs 20,000 crore road development programme, Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot Wednesday laid the foundation stone of Rs 914 crore project for widening of roads in the Udaipur section.
The project for four laning of roads would cover the Gomati Chauraha - Udaipur section of NH-8 in the state under National Highway Development Programme (NHDP).
It will be undertaken under the design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) model.
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister for Road Transport and Highway C P Joshi said large funds were required to expand the road network in the country.
He said out of 46 lakh kms roads in the country, only 76,000 km were national highways.
"We have always focussed on the common man and our policies have reached the common man", Gehlot said on the occasion.
The project would be undertaken by Sadbhav Engineering, Ahmedabad.
The venture is called Shreenathji-Udaipur Tollway Pvt Ltd.
On completion, the government would receive a premium of Rs 21.60 crore for 27 years with an annual increase of five per cent from this project.
The work on the project is likely to be completed by 2015.
Meanwhile, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has so far awarded about Rs 28,000 crore worth of projects in the last six months.
The projects earlier awarded on premium include Ahmedabad- Vadodara, Beawar-Pali-Pindwara, Barwa-Adda-Panagarh and Kishangarh-Udaipur-Ahmedabad stretches.
"The state government should provide speedy land and forest clearance for timely completion of infrastructure projects," Road Secretary AK Upadhyay said while addressing a gathering here.
Earlier this month, the government approved Rs 899.24 crore investment proposal for building a section of National Highway 758 in Rajasthan.

God doesn't give up but comes to meet everyone of us in the two fold way described in today's Gospel. Firstly, 'he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes' (Jn 9:6). God made man, who is a creature. He united Himself to 'our earth' so that man would never need to flee Him, but could come to recognise Him through a meeting with His Holy Humanity. St John wrote in the Prologue to his Gospel, 'The Word became flesh, he lived among us' (Jn 1:14).

VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - We are once again pleased to present the Vatican Congregation for the Clergy's Homily Reflections on this Sunday's Readings for our readers around the globe:
Congregation for the Clergy: 4th Sunday of Lent. Jesus Heals the the Man Born Blind
The Church's liturgy, on this the fourth Sunday of Lent, invites us to retrace one of the fundamental dynamics of our baptismal re-birth through the Gospel account of the healing of the 'man born blind'. It is the passage from the darkness of sin and error to the Light of God, who is the Risen Christ.
Already, in Old Testament Revelation, the Lord God had shown the People of Israel how the justice of the Creator was so much more profound and true that the thoughts of men. We have, in fact, heard in the first reading 'God does not see as human beings see; they look at appearances but the Lord looks at the heart.' (1 Sam 16:76).
The Lord pointed out in this way the true, unique, criteria on which men are judged. He also indicated the unique place in which man can meet God's gaze and enter into a relationship with Him - in his heart. Obviously, by the word 'heart' the Bible doesn't mean the centre of pulsation, but man's 'shrine', his conscience where he can really listen and recognise God's voice and so benefit from the Light: 'for the effects of the light are seen in complete goodness and uprightness and truth'. (Eph 5:9)
Man, incapable of remaining faithful to the truth that is in him, falls back to his own limited criteria. This criteria produces every malice, injustice and falsehood and is used to govern himself, to decide between good and evil, whilst hoping that what he obtains will be to his benefit and so in this way he acts 'like God' (Gen 3:5).
God doesn't give up but comes to meet everyone of us in the two fold way described in today's Gospel. Firstly, 'he spat on the ground and made clay with the saliva, and smeared the clay on his eyes' (Jn 9:6). God made man, who is a creature. He united Himself to 'our earth' so that man would never need to flee Him, but could come to recognise Him through a meeting with His Holy Humanity. St John wrote in the Prologue to his Gospel, 'The Word became flesh, he lived among us' (Jn 1:14).
In the second place from the Gospel account we read, 'He said to him, "Go wash in the Pool of Siloam" -which means Sent-'. (Jn 9:7a). Christ, sent by the Father, takes onto Himself all our sins, which are ultimately the consequences of our blindness, as far as allowing Himself to be stripped, crowned with thorns, nailed to the cross, rejected by His own people and abandoned by His closest friends.
Christ's unprecedented love can't but definitively overcome, with time, every fear in the face of our limitations because there isn't anything that can stop Him from loving us.
From the loving assumption of our rejection to our obtuseness murder, the Lord has worked extraordinary feats in history. He frequently offered His Body to the Father for our salvation and therefore has consecrated His entire Person for every one of us.
He has introduced us into His Most Holy Heart, inflamed with love for us, which is the same as God's light. In the Light of the Resurrection he made us a 'new creation' (cfr 2 Cor 5:17) and in the Gospel account we have heard 'he went and washed, and came back able to see'. (Jn 9:7)
The indestructible link with Christ, which is founded on His love and fidelity, is the 'new creation' that was given to us on the day of our Baptism. Through the Sacraments of Christian initiation we are more profoundly linked with Christ.
This 'new creation' can not bring fourth fruit in us without the full and renewed consent of our liberty that, in this earthly life, is expressed, reinvigorated and triumphs through the extraordinary events that Christ works in our lives.
The blind man was interrogated by the world as to the precise details of his cure and with great simplicity he explained what happened to him: 'The man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and told me, 'Go to Siloam and wash.' So I went there and washed and was able to see."' (Jn 9:11)
Let us ask Most Holy Mary to help us to be faithful to the truth, to the events of our lives, taking the hand that always takes us to live totally for Him, in this life and eternity. 'Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.' (Eph 5:14).

Final eight teams set in FIBA Americas Olympic qualifier
Sep 5, 2011, 8:03 AM EDT
We are through the group stage of the FIBA Americas tournament. Long live the Group Stage, part two.
After the first round of games in Argentina, two teams have been eliminated — Cuba and Paraguay. So we are down to eight and the second round of group play — because who doesn't love more group play? — with two of these teams Qualifying for the Olympics next year:
The Dominican Republic, Panama, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Argentina, Canada, Brazil and. Uruguay.
Over the next four days, each team will play one game against the four teams that advanced from the other group. The combined record of the first two rounds will determine which teams advance to the "final four" knockout stage.
Look for Argentina (currently 3-0 thanks to Manu Ginobili), Puerto Rico (2-1), the Dominican Republic (2-1) and Brazil (2-1) to advance to the final four. Smart money has Argentina as one of the final two, but the other three elite teams want to do well this round to avoid Argentina in the final four (which is single elimination).
Also, whichever team comes in fifth gets an invite (along with teams three and four) to the pre-Olympics qualifying tournament next year. For teams like Canada, Venezuela and Uruguay that should be the goal. (Panama, at 0-3, should be happy they get to still be playing anywhere).

Ken Wahl Net Worth is $250 Thousand.Ken Wahl Net Worth is $250 Thousand. Ken Wahl is Actor. Ken Wahl Date of Birth is Oct 31, 1954. Ken Wahl Nickname is Anthony Calzaretta, Tony. Ken Wahl Height is 1.82 m. Ken Wahl Country is United States of America. Ken Wahl is an American film and television actor, popular in the 1980s and 1990s, who earned an Emmy nomination and won a Golden Globe.
All Movie Guide says Wahl was born Anthony Calzaretta on October 31, 1954 in Chicago, Illinois. According to a Newspaper Enterprise Association syndicated article in 1988, however, a February 14, 1957, birthdate given by CBS is "apparently accurate: A call to Bremen High School in the Chicago suburb of Midlothian reveals Wahl graduated from there in June 1975, presumably at age 18."
Wahl himself is elusive about his personal life. Entertainment Weekly wrote in 2004,
According to his official biography, he was born "in a tiny apartment on the south side of Chicago, in the late fifties, when a young couple welcomed ... their third child, Kenny." In the late 1960s, it continues, his "family of 8" moved to the New York City borough of The Bronx, where he attended junior high and, for a time, high school. The NEA article, however, says Wahl, from ...

Palit launched a GeForce GTX 570 with what the refer to as a mercury design. The name of the product is tagged under their known Sonic Platinum edition series, and as you guys know that guarantees more features and some extra's. The extra's can be found in the customized looks with that very dandy looking dual-fan GPU cooler. Next to that Palit pre-clocked the product at a nice 800 MHz for you on the core, 1600 MHz on the shader domain and even the memory got bumped up towards 4000 MHz (effective). Read article

Title: Tree for area around patio in East Texas
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:What is the best type of tree to plant around my patio which faces the southeast
ANSWER:On our Recommended Species page select the East Texas area from the map or from the pull-down menu and you will get a list of "commercially available native plant species suitable for planned landscapes in East Texas." You can use the "NARROW YOUR SEARCH" option to limit the list to trees by choosing "Tree" from the Habit (general appearance) option. This will narrow the list to 44 tree species that will do well in East Texas. You can then look at the "Plant Characteristics" and "Growing Conditions" to see what best suits your site. Look also under "Benefit" if you are looking for colorful fall foliage or use by birds and other wildlife. Here are a few favorites of Mr. Smarty Plants from that list:
Cercis canadensis var. texensis (Texas redbud)
Cornus florida (flowering dogwood)
Frangula caroliniana (Carolina buckthorn)
Fraxinus americana (white ash)

Astro Gaming A38 Bluetooth headset, USB TX wireless transmitter, and Halo partnership pictures and hands-on
Astro Gaming is at E3 2014 in Los Angeles, where it has announced two new products set to debut this year as well as a new partnership with Microsoft's Halo video game franchise. And Pocket-lint got the inside scoop and even a first-hand look at some of the upcoming goodies.
The San Francisco-based company, which headphone maker Skullcandy acquired in 2011, is known for developing well-designed prosumer gaming headsets such as the A40 and A50 wireless systems, and now it has come up with another headset that extends beyond gaming. Called the A38, it's a Bluetooth headset built for mobile devices, laptops, and gaming. It's also considerably cheaper than Astro's other products, though still pricey.
We got a look at the final version of the A38, which Astro first introduced at CES 2014 in January as a beta, and it features a tonne of changes based on feedback gathered from the beta program. Astro increased the headset's volume levels, bolstered noise cancellation, improved range, stability, and microphone sensitivity, and changed the mini USB port for micro USB. That allows Android and Windows Phone-based devices to use the A38.
We thought the A38 felt very soft and lightweight. We especially enjoyed the swivel-functionality of the speaker cups as well as the invisible microphone. During our brief demo, we also immediately loved the stellar noise cancellation and crisp sound. The swappable speaker tags are pretty cool too, which include video game art derived from partnerships like Ubisoft.
The A38, which is expected to debut around August for $229, will come in two colour options: gray or white. The headset's box is also predominately white and gray in design - a noticeable visual difference from Astro's black-and-gray retail boxes for prosumer headsets.
The next product on display at Astro's E3 booth was a new USB TX wireless transmitter for PCs. Just think of it as a streamlined wireless PC audio solution for the Astro A50 headset. The A50's base station is a box that routes optical audio from your console or home entertainment system. Astro's new USB TX provides the same solution by running a bit of software on your tray...only it's not a box. It's a little USB adapter that is compatible Windows machines (eventually Mac).
With the USB TX, A50 owners can listen to Dolby 7.1 surround sound. They'll also have access to programmable sound profiles and wireless chat and in-game audio. Astro's USB TX will cost $40 for existing A50 owners when it launches next month, but you'll also be able to get it in a bundle that'll include the A50 headset. Although it will only come in the colour black, it does have a bit of illumination that we're sure most gamers will appreciate.
Last but not least, Astro told Pocket-lint that we can soon expect some officially-licensed Halo products from Astro in the future. Astro described its new multi-year deal as something that comes "full-circle", considering pro-Halo gamers helped Astro develop and fine-tune its popular A40 and A50 headsets way back in the day. And now it will work with Halo developer 343 Industries on a line of Halo-themed gear (like headsets and speaker tags).
That said, we weren't given any specific details about what these products might look like or do. We don't even know when they'll launch or for how much. But it's still exciting nonetheless.
