Im using VBS when report something on Diadem&Labview.
I want to geth Local APPdata path where my TDMS file in. Then I open this TDMS file and read it. But somethings going wrong.
Set path = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApplicationData)
Set TdmsHdr = DataFileHeaderAccess(path & "dataReport.tdms", "TDMS", ReadOnly)
Is this code wrong ?
Hi Yasemin,
What do you mean "something's going wrong?" How is something going wrong? Are you getting an error, or is the code simply not executing like you expect it to?
It will be hard to tell you what is going wrong unless we know what, specifically, you're experiencing. Additionally, the problem may be in other lines besides these two, so it may help to post your entire code so that we understand the context of the problem.
If you're simply trying to load a TDMS file, try using DataFileLoad:
Call DataFileLoad(Path & "dataReport.tdms")
Also, in case it helps, DIAdem has a list of commonly needed paths stored in environment variables. You can see some of these variables here:
Yes, I was getting error. I thought the function which gets local appdata path is wrong.

I am not sure your Environment object is refering to and if your readonly is a bool variable.
The example includes the two ways to access the file without loading it and the command
to import it. In new applications I would prefere to use the DataStoreto access the meta information.
Option Explicit 'Forces the explicit declaration of all the variables in a script. dim readonly : readonly = TRUE dim path : path = "C:\temp\example.tdms" Function FileOpenXmlParameter(filePath, readonly) FileOpenXmlParameter = "<filename" if(readonly) then FileOpenXmlParameter = FileOpenXmlParameter + " readonly=""yes""" end if FileOpenXmlParameter = FileOpenXmlParameter + ">" FileOpenXmlParameter = FileOpenXmlParameter + replace(replace(filePath, "&", "&"), "<", "<") FileOpenXmlParameter = FileOpenXmlParameter + "</filename>" End Function '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''' '' Access meta information (properties of files) only.

A 15-year-old boy made the shock discovery of his mother's body after a violent attack at their Tawa home yesterday.
Amanda Dawn Taufale, 33, died at her Sunrise Boulevard home shortly before 8am.
Police charged a 38-year-old man with her murder late last night.
Ms Taufale lived with her 15-year-old son Liam, who she had with separated husband David Taufale, and a six-month-old baby she had with her boyfriend, who also lived at the house.
Police said both children were at home at the time of what they say was "a violent death".
Ms Taufale's mother-in-law, Sera Taufale, this morning said her grandson Liam had found his mother.
The news of her death had come as a shock.
"When the detective told me that sad thing happened, I felt like screaming my head off," Mrs Taufale said.
Amanda and David Taufale separated a long time ago but she remained close to her in-laws.
"We all get along with Amanda, she's a very kind-hearted woman. And every rugby game her son goes to, every game she's there. And she always comes and meets with us."
David Taufale is returning from Australia to be with his family this afternoon.
The officer in charge of the homicide investigation, Detective Senior Sergeant Mike Oxnam, said last night's arrest would come as a relief to Ms Taufale's family.
"The investigation team is still working hard to understand the exact events leading up to Amanda's death. At this stage, we are not looking for anyone else in connection with her death."
A neighbour whose home overlooks the Sunrise Boulevard property said she heard a bang about 7.40am yesterday.
The woman, who did not give her name, said it sounded like a car backing into another car, but she had the television on and could not be sure.
Another neighbour said her neighbours - who she did not know - had not ever been a problem.
Mr Oxnam yesterday said he did not know if police had been called to the Sunrise Boulevard home in the past.
A post mortem examination will be carried out today.
Police are still appealing for anyone who saw a late model blue Toyota Hatchback, registration GMB108, to come forward.
Officers this morning spoke to commuters at Takapu Railway Station, seeking sightings of the car and its occupants since Wednesday.

When I heard that our local mall puts on holiday kids' events throughout the year, I was excited. So was my son, Nolan.
In the spring of 2010, I packed Nolan in the car and headed to Place D'Orleans mall Easter event. It started off great – we even ran into friends, and the two boys were soon happily working away at the craft table. Then I looked up and had one of those "Where did everyone go?" moments. Parents and kids were racing off in all directions. Unbeknownst to me, the event included a store-to-store trick or treat-style Easter candy gathering.
It didn't take long before I parted ways with our friends, as it became apparent this wasn't going to work. Our son was too young to understand he wouldn't be able to have any of the candy and chocolates, but he was very aware that he wasn't getting 'something' to hold like everyone else. I tried to be creative; I asked one shop owner to put ticket-gun price stickers on his hand. But that wasn't enough to quell the tears welling up in his eyes.
Sure, I could have just bought him something, but that wasn't what he wanted. He wanted to be a part of the festivities. To compound the issue, now there were endless children eating very unsafe treats, who in turn were touching everyone and everything in the mall. I left the mall that day with my son in tears, causing the mommy guilt tears to flow also.
The next day, I wrote an e-mail to the mall's management company. I thanked them for hosting wonderful children's activities at our mall outside of Ottawa. But I also explained that, while not intentional, these events were in fact excluding children with food allergies.
A woman named Kirsty Allaire at Primaris Retail Management received the e-mail. Kirsty was empathetic, supportive and eager to know what changes could be made in order to make mall events safer and more inclusive. She promised to see she what she could do for the next big mall event: Halloween.
Halloween rolled around, and I didn't hear from her. Turns out she purposely hadn't told me ahead of time what accommodations she had made. She wanted to see the look on my face.
To say that I was surprised by the accommodations the mall management made is to hugely understate.

Are all obituaries printed in The Dispatch?
Obituaries in The Columbus Dispatch and on Dispatch.com are paid advertisements placed by funeral homes at the request of the family. Not all families elect to place obituaries.
Obituaries of most Franklin County residents are placed in The Columbus Dispatch. However, if the deceased lived in a city outside Columbus that is served by its own newspaper, that person's obituary probably appeared in the closest newspaper and not in The Dispatch.
Where are obituaries available on Dispatch.com, and how can I find older obituaries?
Obituaries published in The Dispatch are available free to all users for 1 year from publication. Please visit the Obituaries page on Dispatch.com.
The Dispatch Archive contains all obituaries that have appeared in the paper since March 1996.
Obituaries before then are available on microfilm, but you must know the approximate date of death to find them.
The Columbus Metropolitan Library and the Ohio Historical Society have the entire run of The Columbus Dispatch on microfilm, dating to its founding in 1871, and may be able to help you obtain a copy of an old obituary.
In person: Most central Ohio libraries have The Dispatch on microfilm for public use. There is no fee to browse the microfilm, though some libraries charge a small fee for printouts.
If you live outside central Ohio your local library may be able to borrow Dispatch microfilm from the Columbus Metropolitan Library under the interlibrary loan program. The Columbus library loans duplicate copies of microfilm, which are not always available.
By phone: The Columbus Metropolitan Library (614-645-2275) fulfills requests through the national interlibrary loan program and charges 10 cents to $2 a page for the service, depending upon circumstances.
To use this service: Call 614-645-2275 to determine the day an obituary was published and the page on which it appeared. The library will search through three days of papers and will help you find a date of death if you don't know it.
Go to your local library and ask the library to obtain a copy of the obituary you want through the interlibrary loan program.
The Columbus library will then fax a copy of the obituary to your local library. In central Ohio, the charge is 10 cents a page. Outside the local calling area, the charge is $2 a page. Library patrons pay these fees to their local library, which in turn pays the Columbus library.
Columbus Metropolitan Library cardholders may also have obituaries faxed to their home in central Ohio for $1 a page.
Private researchers listed with the Ohio Historical Society will also locate and print old obituaries for a fee. Call the society's Library Archives Division (614-297-2510) between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday for a list of researchers. Each researcher sets his own fees and is not affiliated with either The Dispatch or the Ohio Historical Society.
By mail: As a last resort and only for patrons whose libraries do not participate in the interlibrary loan program, the Columbus Metropolitan Library will mail copies of obituaries to people.
The service is more expensive than interlibrary loan service and takes considerably longer.

What can you tell me about the Guest Books on the Dispatch.com obituary pages?
A Guest Book is added free of charge to each obituary on Dispatch.com. Online Guest Books allow friends and family to express condolences and share memories. Entries are free and are posted after being reviewed for appropriate content. Friends and family may post a photo in a Guest Book for $4.95.
Guest Books are attached to most online obituaries for 30 days. Anyone can sponsor a Guest Book; sponsored Guest Books remain online permanently or for one year. Learn more about Guest Books.
How can I find a date of death?
Online sources are scarce.
The Columbus Metropolitan Library's news index abstracts obituaries printed between 1960 and 1979 and from 1988 to the present, but does not have the full text of the items. It can be reached by clicking on CML DATABASES at the library's ELECTRONIC RESOURCES page. The library's Web site is at www.cml.lib.oh.us/
The Ohio Historical Society maintains a database of state death certificates from 1913 to 1937. It can be searched at www.ohiohistory.org/dindex/search.cfm.
Ancestry.com maintains a searchable database of Social Security death records. It can be reached at: www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/vital/ssdi/main.htm

I only have Academy and Wal-mart for Innova. Our Hastings carries Discraft, and I found a Champion Rhyno there. No idea how that happened.
I do not know how the Academy decides which molds to stock. I know the manager plays. I hope they start adding things as this sport takes off here. Our 3 courses are not even a year old.

Five Safety Tips to Help Prevent Deck Collapses
June 21, 2010
News Highlights
More Information
Because of the deck collapse this past weekend, Fairfax County's top building official asks residents to check the safety of their decks before using them by following five safety tips.
"Decks don't last forever, so it's important to check your deck regularly, especially if it's older," said Ray Pylant, Fairfax County's building official. "Decks usually fall down because they aren't attached to your home properly. Another common cause for injuries is loose guardrails or posts. But you can avoid injuries and accidents with regular inspections and maintenance."
Follow these five safety tips:
- Check support posts and beams for rot, splitting or abnormal movement.
- Closely check the attachment points between the deck and the house.
- Check all fasteners, bolts, joist hangers and other hardware for rust or corrosion.
- Check all guards and rails to be sure they are sturdy and secured.
- Use grills, heaters and outdoor fire pits with care.
Warning signs that a deck may be unsafe include: loose or wobbly railings or support beams, missing or loose screws that connect a deck to the house, corrosion, rot and cracks. Homeowners must get a county permit and inspections anytime they make structural repairs or changes to their deck.
Residents can get more tips and information online, or call Fairfax County's Land Development Services at 703-222-0114, TTY 711.
While there are no government statistics, people are injured or killed every year by collapsing decks. Almost 2,000 people have been hurt and 30 have been killed by deck collapses between 2000 and 2006, according to the North American Deck and Railing Association.
For media inquiries, contact the Office of Public Affairs at 703-324-3189, TTY 711.
Contact: Merni Fitzgerald, Director, Office of Public Affairs
703-324-3189, TTY 711, Media Pager: 703-324-NEWS (6397)

I have several WW II Australian coin bracelets. I want more information. My first one was given to me around 1957-58 when I was about 14. The woman who gave it to me was British. She had a boyfriend from New Zealand on an "Australian aircraft carrier". Her husband didn't want her to keep a piece of jewelry another man had made for her, I was wearing other silver jewelry so she gave it to me. In the last 5 years I have seen several more like this with just these George VI coins. I am also seeing them on ebay, etc. I want to know more about them. I strongly suspect they were made on board ships with some sort of hobby metal shop. Very few have been soldered. Some have very innovative links and clasps.
I have had the links on mine soldered because I want to wear them. I have also had safety chains attached after my first one fell open in a shopping center parking lot!

Best Uses
My husband and I installed this ourselves and had no difficulty. It works well in our transitionally styles space. It really is a beautiful floor. It definitely brings a modern quality to the space which is actually old. In the sunshine it has a gray undertone to the wood but it is almost black. It works well for us, but if you're a nit picky person about dust and lint you'll be constantly cleaning this.
Best Uses
My dad installed this flooring in my bedroom about 2.5 years ago, and I absolutely love it! I was afraid that it would scratch easily, but I do not have a single scratch or chip on it, even after dropping items accidentally, using a sweeper, and having little doggies on it.
The flooring was a little more difficult to install than the laminate we have in our living room. Due to it's thickness, it was harder to cut and it did not click in place super easily. So there were 3-4 very small chips after installation from where my dad struggled with pieces and marred the surface (especially along edges). However, I was able to use a watered down acrylic paint and touch up these areas so they are not noticeable at all.
I'm very pleased with the semi-glossy surface of this flooring. It cleans easily with a swiffer and a spray bottle of 50% water, 50% vinegar, and I let it air dry. My only complaint is that it shows dirt and smudges very easily, but this would be true of any dark flooring.
I absolutely love the way my laundry room looks. It is wonderful that the product comes with the padding attached.
Best Uses
Floor looks fantastic in our master bedroom! We bought enough to put in our master bath as well but that will be happening at a later date.
Best Uses
Used in the living room and front entryway, I know it's not waterproof so caution must be used!!
Scratch free
Best Uses
This is a very beautiful floor with a modern look. We had it porfessionally installed. It was delivered with no damaged pieces or open boxes. Seems like it was fairly easy to put down. The installers kept looking at the seams agains the light. I love it!!
Best Uses
Floor looks awesome with red walls and white trim. The thing I was pleased with the most was that 100% of the planks were perfect, I didn't see a single scratch or imperfection.
I found it fairly easy to install, and I've never installed hardwood/laminate before. I didn't have a single problem with installation. Having said that, it does take time and real effort. You'll be spending a lot of time on your hands and knees. Even though the planks "click" together, it takes some muscle to get a plank clicked into place to the plank of the previous row and then tapped over to the plank in the current row next to it. However, I expected this as this is how most or all laminate floor click into place.
I've only had the floor installed for a week, but so far I don't see any scratches. It seems pretty durable, but only time will tell.
We love our floors, the dark Charcoal laminate is beautiful, and looks great in our house. The only reason I did not give 5 stars, is because it was tricky to install. We had some trouble with getting the joints to stay connected. I had to hold one side in while my husband installed the rest of the row, or else it would all fall out. Definitely a 2-3 person job!
Best Uses
Use: Installed in Living, Dining Room, and hallways.
Pros: Looks great, affordable, and super durable. We have 2 big dogs with long nails and they can't scratch this flooring.
Cons: Most cleaners leave a foggy white-like film on it. Just makes the sheen look more matte and less polished. We live in the country so dusting, cleaning, and vacuuming is required several times a week to keep it looking good as dust shows easily. Also, you have about a 1/2" expansion gap, so depending on your trim stackup (trim only vs trim w/ 1/4 round), it is possible to see gaps if you aren't careful.
Why only 4 stars?
The product loses 1 star because of the quality of the transitions that are pretty much required. Although it is not a direct knock on the flooring, it still seen as "the floor". The transitions feel cheap, and don't seem to be designed to account for the 12mm thick planks. It required some additional work to make them fit properly and be robust enough for traffic.
Experience: DIY'er, First time installing floating flooring.
Best Uses
Gorgeous flooring! I would recommend to anyone.

TOMMY Bridewell reflected on a frustrating opening to the 2014 MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship as he claimed top ten finishes in both races at Brands Hatch on Monday.
Etchilhampton rider Bridewell finished seventh and ninth for his Milwaukee Yamaha outfit as teammate Josh Brookes clinched a podium finish after bouncing back from a first-race crash to secure second in race two.
Bridewell said: "We didn't have the pace to be up there fighting in the races today and we need to have a look at our settings so that we can come back stronger at Oulton Park.
"We made a good start in the races but then we just couldn't match the leaders and that was disappointing for me. I couldn't have ridden any harder today and I am now ready to focus with the team on how we can rectify the pace we had here ready for the next round.
"Seventh place in the standings is still points towards our championship, so it could have been worse, but I have my goals and winning is one of them."
Team owner Shaun Muir added: "Overall it has been quite a frustrating weekend for Milwaukee Yamaha after our strong pre-season testing campaign and also our good start in free practice.
"Before qualifying both riders had the pace to be fighting for podiums but four crashes put us on the back foot
" Josh tried to dominate from the start in race one and just lost the front and crashed however he showed his real strength in character to be fighting again in race two for the podium finish.
"Today Tommy had two difficult races but we know that he will come back stronger."

Elizabeth Olsen: 'Winslet inspired me to bare all'
Elizabeth Olsen has credited Kate Winslet with giving her the "courage" to bare all on camera after fearing she would ruin her career by stripping off.
The Hollywood newcomer, who is the younger sister of actress twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, was terrified about shooting naked scenes for new movie "Martha Marcy May Marlene."
But after seeing Winslet appear completely nude in 1999 movie "Holy Smoke," the 22 year old admits she felt inspired to shed her clothes for the drama, in which she plays a young woman who flees from a cult.
She explains, "(Martha Marcy May Marlene is) only my second film, I got nervous. 'Wait, does this set a precedent for me? Are people going to think I'm just game for that?' Because I'm not. When it's sensationalized or gratuitous, I have no interest in it. But for this movie, it's so a part of the nature theme that's explored and the loss of identity...
"Kate Winslet in that film (Holy Smoke) has much more difficult, physically vulnerable scenes than I did in this movie and it was so impactful. And I was thinking, 'Look at her career now. She's not pigeonholed, it just is the story.' And that was a lesson to learn, to look up to her career as something that's pretty ideal in my mind... That gave me a type of courage of being like, 'I'm going to support the movie, this tells the story better, this is important for the story and that's that.'"

Wisconsin Military and Civil Medals and Decorations Book.
I originally published my book back in 1986. The purpose of the book was to catalog all the military related medals issued by the state of Wisconsin and those issued within the borders of the state by local and private issuers. Also included in the "Civil" section were nonmilitary awards for valor, life saving efforts, long government service and retirement. Now that a quarter of a century has passed I have started work on a second expanded and improved edition. I figure that it will be a full year before I am done with my additions and corrections and will be able to go to press. If anyone here has any medals that should be included in the book please post them here on this site. I will contact anyone who posts an unknown (to me) item. This way every one benefits from our efforts! Thanks, Fred

VAN NUYS (CNS) – An 18-year-old man was killed when he intentionally laid himself down on a roadway in Van Nuys and was struck by separate vehicles, police said today.
Michael Joel Alvarez appeared to be outside a crosswalk when he was struck by westbound vehicles in the 15900 block of Victory Boulevard, just east of the San Diego (405) Freeway, at 9:35 p.m. Friday, LAPD Sgt. Randy Modrell said.
An investigation revealed that Alvarez intentionally laid himself down in the left westbound lane of Victory Boulevard, where he was struck by a newer model, silver four-door sedan, possibly a Honda Accord. He was then struck by a late 90's model brown Honda Accord, according to a department statement.
Both vehicles stopped momentarily, and were last seen westbound on Victory Boulevard, according to the statement.
Evidence at the scene suggested the second vehicle should have been able to stop after the pedestrian was struck the first time, said Modrell, of the LAPD Valley Traffic Division.
"They were far enough back where the second vehicle should have been able to stop if they saw the guy in the street," he said.

NATIONAL charity Meningitis Now is issuing a warning to Swindon parents as children start back at school for the new term.
September sees the start of the meningitis peak season, so the charity is urging parents, students and teachers to be vigilant to the signs and symptoms and download its free phone app or request a symptoms card.
While children under five are most 'at risk' from meningitis, teenagers and students are the second most 'at risk' group (aged 15 to 23 years).
It is estimated that 10 per cent of the population carry the bacteria which can cause meningitis and septicaemia, but this increases to about 25 per cent for students.
The phone app and signs and symptoms cards are available by calling freephone 0808 80 10 388, or by visiting www.meningitisnow.org.

Shannon Shepp, deputy commissioner of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is moving to a management position at the Florida Department of Citrus.
Shepp is scheduled to begin working for the Bartow-based agency on Aug. 2 as its deputy executive director.
The new position is part of a restructured agency, said Karen Mathis, public relations director.
Shepp is to handle some of the responsibilities formerly managed by Bob Norberg, the agency's former deputy executive director of research and operations. Norberg left his position March 18.
Serving as deputy commissioner since 2011, in her 12 years at the agriculture department, Shepp also was public affairs manager for Florida Citrus Mutual in Lakeland and was a legislative aide.
Doug Ackerman, the agency's executive director, said Shepp was raised in the citrus industry and said her legislative experience in Tallahassee will help the agency particularly as it deals with smaller crops.
"She brings a vast knowledge of agriculture and all of its different aspects, as well as legislative and regulatory, all the way through having worked with the growers at Citrus Mutual," he said. "The broad array of skills she has and her ability to work with limited resources will help us in the near term."

Infectious Diseases
What is pseudomonas alcaligenes?
What are the fundamental facts concerning the bacteria pseudomonas alcaligenes?
A recent news story implied this bacteria was a potential health problem.
Does it occur naturally? Is it a soil bacteria? Where does it occur? At what levels is it dangereous or a health hazard?
The bacteria you are probably referring to is currently known as Achromobacter xylosoxidans, which has had several name changes over the years. It is an aerobic, nonfermenting gram negative rod that can be distinguished from Pseudomonas species by the presence of flagella that allow the organism to move. Because it is one of a large group of "nonfermenting" bacteria, the biological tests used to identify bacteria come out negative, so it often will take the Microbiology Lab a longer time to identify these than many other bacteria. It may colonize and infect humans, almost always with an underlying illness such as cystic fibrosis. Its reservoir remains unknown, but it can survive and multiply in water and has contaminated disinfectant solutions.

Should we break up?
I received pages and pages of emails about the self-help books. If you didn't get one, please try again next time. They were gone pretty early in the day.
Hi Meredith,
My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over three years. We have a lot in common and have been very attached since the first day we met. We are best friends and it's really hard for me to picture my life without him.
He graduated college about a year ago and has been working at an entry-level position in the Boston area while I have been finishing my last semester of school. It did not take him very long for him to realize he did not like his job. He has been pretty miserable since the first day. Moreover, he really doesn't know what he wants to do with his life, which is OK with me, and I have tried to be as supportive as possible. However, our relationship has been strained for the past 3-4 months. He has always been rather poor at communicating, and it's been especially hard lately. I am frustrated because I want him to do something he's passionate about, but he won't let me help him and he does not seem motivated to either look for another job or go back to school. Moreover, his poor communication skills have affected other parts of our relationship as well. For example, it frustrates me that he never talks about his work with me. I don't feel comfortable with him going out to happy hours and bars with his coworkers, who happen to be mostly female. They are very flirty with him, although he claims they "are like that to everyone." Again, I have communicated my concerns with him and he just lashes out at me.
Do you think I should move on with my life without him? Or, do you think I should continue to offer him support even though it is unlikely to guide him anywhere?
– Confused, Boston
You spend your whole first paragraph telling us that your boyfriend is your best friend, but your second paragraph suggests that the friendship is kind of a mess. He doesn't communicate and "lashes out." Meanwhile, he seems to feel threatened and pressured by your attempts to support him. Your boyfriend isn't ready to make any big moves because he doesn't know what he wants next. You want to help him, but he needs to help himself.
You've spent a lot of energy on his needs, but it's time to consider your own. Would you be happier if you didn't have to worry about his place in life? Would you be better off with someone who communicated well? What are you going to do after graduation? The relationship worked when you were both in school ... but does it work now?
I can't tell you whether you should bail on this relationship right this second. My gut tells me that you're about to hit a wall, but it sounds like that wall is still a few feet away from your face. (We usually need to smack into the wall before we end this kind of thing.)
Do some selfish thinking. Ask you boyfriend if he's happy in the relationship and what you both can do to make it easier. Find out how close he is to the wall. Maybe after some honest conversation about your partnership (as opposed to his job), you can walk into that wall together.
Readers? Should they break up? Is she really supporting him with the job stuff? Does she understand what life is like for him outside of school? Does this relationship still work? What's next? Help.
– Meredith

Every Wednesday throughout Lent, we will post a reflection from Larry Livingston, CFCA church relations director. We hope these reflections help you on your own Lenten journey.
Part of the genius of Jesusí ministry was that he didnít spend much time trying to convince people. He just spoke the truth, did good things and let the chips fall where they may.
Those open to Godís grace were drawn to him. Those wrapped up in their own wrongheadedness fought him.
In the Gospel for the Fourth Sunday of Lent, Jesus heals a man born blind. You would expect those who witnessed this to be astonished and overjoyed.
But for those looking to condemn Jesus, it was just one more piece of evidence to use against him.
Their issue was the seeming audacity Jesus showed in healing an undeserving person. If the man was blind, they reasoned, it was obviously punishment for his sinfulness or that of his parents.
Such perverse logic let the movers and shakers of society off the hook for their failure to help the disadvantaged.
If the blind, lepers, widows and others who were marginalized deserved their fate, then changing their condition would violate Godís will.
Stycy, a sponsored child in India.
For those with wealth and influence ó who, by implication, must be Godís favored ó it was a cozy belief system. But it was also wrong, and Jesus had no problem in naming it as such.
By healing the blind man Jesus put his critics in the absurd position of denouncing as evil an action that was clearly good.
In so doing, they exposed the illogic of their beliefs and proved themselves to be the truly blind ones.
Their blindness, unlike that of the man now gifted with sight, was all the more tragic because they stubbornly chose to remain in it despite the opportunity for conversion offered by Jesus.
Now, as in Jesusí day, hardness of heart keeps some from seeing past their own narrow interests.
But the good news is that generous, loving hearts are opened up to new vision every day.
CFCA sponsors often tell us how sharing in their sponsored friends' lives has given them new insight into the talents, gifts and potential of those living in poverty.
Those who are sponsored tell how sponsorship has given them permission to see a future full of hope.
For both groups, CFCA is an avenue of a brighter vision, and we take great satisfaction in that.
As we continue our Lenten journey, let us each take a deep look into our own hearts.
May we allow Godís word and the companionship of others to penetrate our moments of blindness and flood our lives with warm, loving light. May we have the courage to see clearly and act justly.
And may the Christ ó he whose passionate love cures all variety of blindness ó always be our guide.

Five Coloured ShirtsLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
Every day from Monday through Sunday in this week, Mr. Peter picks two shirts from the five colours red, blue, yellow, green and black. Peter follows the rules:
1. Peter doesn't use the same combination on two days of this week.
2. Peter doesn't use the same colour on two consecutive days of this week.
3. Peter uses some colour on four days.
4. Peter uses blue and black on Monday.
5. Peter uses green on Thursday.
6. Peter doesn't use yellow on Friday.
7. Peter doesn't combine red with black.
What colours does Peter use on Saturday?
AnswerFrom rules 2 and 3, Peter must use one colour on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, which can be blue or black.
If it's black, from rules 1 and 4, Peter must combine black with red, yellow and green on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, but rule 7 disallows combining black with red.
Therefore, it's blue, and Peter must combine blue with red, yellow and green on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. From rule 5, Peter uses green on Thursday, he can't use green on Wednesday or Friday, and only on Sunday.
From rule 6, Peter doesn't use yellow on Friday, and he can only use red on Friday and yellow on Wednesday.
Since Peter uses blue, red and green on Friday and Sunday, from rule 2, he can only use black and yellow on Saturday.

Leading up to the State of the Union, we heard a lot of chatter that a proposed $25 billion settlement with the banks would be a selling point in President Obama's speech.And maybe it would have been, had President Obama delivered the State of the Union. But clearly the person we saw last night addressing Congress was candidate Obama, who is a very different individual.
The State of the Union, at times, felt more like a stump speech that an address from a sitting president. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Obama finally sounded like someone willing to play tough with the banks with his 'No bailouts, no handouts, and no copouts' line. Only time will tell if this is a true change in the President's perspective, or if he'll go right back to being the same man who handed out bailouts like candy.
We were glad to see Obama acknowledge that Wall Street was playing by its own rules, but he had a hand in allowing them to do so, so we hope he understands if we're still a bit skeptical.
Right before the State of the Union, the Huffington Post broke the news that New York Attorney General Eric Scheniderman has been named to lead a new Unit on Mortgage Origination and Securitization Abuses, which could be a real game-changer. Like the editorial team at Oppenheim Law, Schneiderman has been a vocal critic of the aforementioned settlement.
He has been very tough on the White House's foreclosure policies before, so maybe we'll finally see the accountability and thorough investigation that we've been demanding.
