VETERANS Affairs told a partially paralysed Iraq veteran - injured when an army truck fell on him - to "buy a goat" when he asked for help to keep the grass down around his house.
Father-of-three Micheal McLaren asked the DVA for funding to help with the lawn at his home near Warrnambool, but was told he wasn't entitled to a gardener or a ride-on mower.
A DVA lifestyle assessment suggested his wife, who was heavily pregnant with their second child, could mow the lawn around the house. A small paddock - which he did not seek help for - could be "used to house a family farm animal".
Mr McLaren followed up the 2007 report with a call to the DVA's head office, and was told "a goat or a couple of sheep" would fix his problem.
He was finally funded for a regular lawnmowing service six months ago, only after a veteran's advocate took on his case.
And the advocate was able to convince the DVA that he should be deemed "totally and permanently incapacitated" because his injuries meant he would never be able to work again.
"I'd tried for years on my own to get 'TPI' - those three little letters - on my pension card. The DVA relies on veterans giving up after being constantly knocked back," Mr McLaren said.
"They didn't give it to me, but I was entitled to it. It gives me access to small things that make a big difference when you are supporting a family."
Mr McLaren was critically injured eight years ago as a private in the army. Most of his contemporaries have now advanced to earn around $100,000.
It is estimated his pension is capped at half of his potential had he not been injured.
Mr McLaren decided to speak out about his run-in with the DVA because he said it highlighted an obstructionist approach by a department that didn't understand the predicament of the former servicemen and women it was supposed to be helping.
He served in the Defence Force for six years, including one tour of Iraq. He and his wife, Rebecca, have three children, the youngest is aged three.
In 2005, Mr McLaren, a defence force mechanic based in Townsville, was seriously injured while he was fixing a Unimog army truck's brakes during a training exercise.
The four-tonne truck crushed him across his back and both shoulders when the jack failed. It fractured a vertebrae and badly damaged his spinal cord.
The right side of his body has only limited movement; the left side is numb. Doctors describe him as an "incomplete tetriplegic".
"In the six months after it happened, Rebecca was told I'd be in a wheelchair for the rest of my life. It's a minor miracle that I can get around, but I am severely limited in what I can do," Mr McLaren said. "My right side is dead weight. I tire easily and I'm constantly falling over. I need crutches, a walking stick or sometimes a wheelchair if I am away from the house."
The family lives on a 2000sq m property in Allansford, five minutes' drive from Warrnambool.
He said his injuries meant he regularly woke up "bent and buckled" and was easily fatigued because of the effort need to be mobile.
Australian Peacekeepers and Peacemakers Veterans Association advocate, Mick Quinn, said: "Micheal did the right thing, set himself and his family up cheap outside of town but then gets treated poorly by people in the DVA who tell him to buy a goat."

Welcome to Christ Community Church!
To fulfill Jesus' Great Commission, which is to be a Biblical community that proclaims God's Word in order to multiply fully devoted and fully developing followers of Jesus Christ throughout the world. (Matt. 28:18-20; Rom. 12:1-8; Eph. 4; Heb 5:12-6:3; 2 Pet. 3:18; Phil. 3; Titus 2:11-14; Luke 24; Acts 1-2).
In short, the mission of the church is to make disciple-makers.
The purpose of CCC is to glorify God through teaching, modeling, and sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We are on a journey of following Jesus Christ together. We strive for and envision a strong, loving, Bible-based, Christ-centered, Gospel-focused, Spirit-empowered, grace-filled, worshipping community of believers who have a healthy and growing relationship with God and each other which overflows in boldly sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with the world by the power of the Holy Spirit for the glory of God. Our desire is to see our Biblically-based mission, core practices, and core values lived out in the life of each person at Christ Community Church. A church that lives the Great Commandment (loving God and loving people, Matt. 22:37-40) and follows the Great Commission (making disciples of all nations, Matt. 28:19-20) makes a great Church!
Our core practices can be summarized with 4 phrases:
WORSHIP Jesus Christ
GROW through the Word of God
CONNECT through fellowship, stewardship, and service
REACH the lost with the Gospel
Guiding Principles
1. The Glory of God as Our Highest Purpose
- "Declare His glory among the nations…" (Ps. 96:3)
- "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (1 Cor. 10:31)
Our primary reason for existing as an individual and as a church is to draw attention to God in all his greatness and glory. This is our ultimate passion. We long to see God's holiness, greatness, and supremacy recognized and demonstrated in our lives and in the lives of all people. To that end, Christ Community Church is intentionally God-centered in all we do—in our worship, in our teaching, in our evangelism, in our fellowship, in our missions, in our ministries, and in our personal lives. We will seek to all things to the honor, praise and glory of God the Father through Jesus Christ.
2. The Centrality of the Gospel
- For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. (1 Cor. 2:2)
- But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. (Eph. 2:4-5)
- For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures… (1 Cor. 15:3-4)
- Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen. (Rom. 16:25-27)
- We dearly love the gospel, the good news that Christ died for our sins making it possible for us to be at peace with God and assured of eternity with Him. This undeserved grace continually astounds us and impresses upon us the magnitude of God's love for His glory and for us.
We believe that the people of Christ Community Church must have a clear understanding and a deep personal appreciation of the Gospel in order for them to live in the goodness of this amazing grace day to day. In other words, the Gospel is not just a tool for evangelism, but the foundation and centerpiece of the Christian. We believe that our personal appreciation for the Gospel will manifest itself in lives marked by pronounced Christ-likeness, dependence on God's grace, joyfulness, humility, generosity and an abiding personal assurance of God's love.
3. Whole-Hearted Love for God
- The life I live I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me" (Gal. 2:20)
- Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. (Mark 12:30)
As a result of our personal experience of God's love and empowering grace through the Gospel, we eagerly seek to obey the first and greatest commandment—to love the Lord with all our heart, soul, strength and mind. This love is the joyful response to experiencing God's gracious forgiveness, for the one who is "forgiven much, loves much." This love for God will be expressed in all we do but it will find a particularly heightened expression in living a lifestyle of worship and loving other people.
4. Grace-Motivated Spiritual Growth
- He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it. (Phil. 1:6)
- So then, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling; for it is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure. (Phil. 2:12-13)
- For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law, but under grace. (Rom. 6:14)
- Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Pet. 3:18)
God's purpose is to both save and sanctify those He has called to Himself. While Christians have been declared righteous (i.e., justified) before God on the basis of their faith in Christ's death for their sins, it is God's purpose to also make them more righteous as Christ is righteous (i.e. sanctified). Our thankfulness for God's saving grace motivates us to eagerly and intentionally cooperate in the life-long process of being made more like Jesus Christ. In this process of sanctification, God uses many means of grace, which are experienced especially within the body of Christ, the local church.
5. The Importance and Profitability of Sound Doctrine
- Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them … (1 Tim. 4:16)
- Sanctify them in the truth; Your word is truth. ( John 17:17)
- [The Scriptures] … are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." (2 Tim. 3:16-17)
At Christ Community Church, we treasure the Bible as God's inspired (God-breathed) Word and gladly submit to its authority. The Bible is the completely true and trustworthy Word of God, and God gave it to us for the express purpose of shaping our thinking and our behavior. We consider serious and intentional application of Scriptural teaching (i.e., doctrine) to be of the utmost importance. Through corporate teaching, small group discussion, specialized classes and personal study, we will look to the Bible for God's wisdom on all matters and are blessed as we implement it in our lives.
6. The Active Presence and Ministry of the Holy Spirit
- But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control … Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. (Gal. 5:25)
- Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good … All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and He gives them to each one, just as He determines. (1 Cor. 12:7, 11)
At Christ Community Church we earnestly desire and actively pursue the dynamic ministry of the Holy Spirit in our midst. The Spirit counsels us, comforts us and convicts us of sin. He guides us into all truth, illumines our minds to understand it and impresses it deeply on our hearts. He opens our eyes to the significance of the Cross. He helps us to pray. He gives us power to overcome temptation and He causes the fruit of righteousness to be borne in our lives. He graciously and generously gives gifts to people for the good and upbuilding of the church. He empowers us for service and witness. He gives evidence of God's presence among us. At CCC, we long for the fullness of the Spirit's presence and ministry in our church and recognize our helplessness without His empowering presence.
7. Growing Relationships within the Local Church
- From [Christ] the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Eph. 4:16)
- Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves … Practice hospitality. (Rom. 12:10, 13)
We are deeply committed to the local church as the principal place where God is working out His purposes in the world and in people's lives. We believe that active participation and involvement in a local church is not just useful but essential for the spiritual growth of individual Christians. We have been joined together by the Spirit into one body, and understand our fellowship in the church primarily as purposeful involvement in each other's lives. At Christ Community Church we are committed to serving and caring for one another, especially through Community Groups. We realize that this is not always easy, but by God's grace, in obedience to His Word, we're determined to work at developing authentic and deepening relationships as we follow Christ together. The highest quality of Biblical fellowship can be enjoyed only in the context of these committed relationships as we seek to love, encourage, and care for one another.
The 7Cs of Discipleship*: Measuring our Mission
The church will accomplish its mission of making disciples by calling all people to be:
- Converted – A true disciple has placed their faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and the gift of eternal life and is indwelt by the Holy Spirit. (Eph. 2; John 3; Titus 3; Rom. 1-8; 2 Cor. 5:17)
- Committed - to God, to His Word, to discipleship, sharing our faith with others, to His purposes, and to His people. (Acts 2; Luke 14). Some examples of His purposes: worship, evangelism, fellowship, ministry, missions, etc.
- Connected – No Christian can grow without being planted in a local Church, living in community with the Body of Christ, giving and receiving love, being accountable to others, serving, and being nurtured and encouraged by other believers. The Church is the Body of Christ. A Christian who is not vitally connected to a local Church is like a hand chopped off from the body. You can still be a hand cut off from the body, but not a healthy and helpful one. Being severed from the head, Christ, was not an option in the early Church (Eph. 4-5; 1 Cor. 12)
- Competent – in Biblical truth and doctrine that shapes your relationship with God and with all people. We need to be so rooted in the truth that it transforms our worldview, gives us knowledge and wisdom, molds our character, and equips us in our marriages, as parents, in our ministry to others, friendships, work ethic, and every other area of life. The Gospel serves as the framework for our lives (2 Tim. 2; 1 Pet. 2:2; 2 Pet. 3:18)
- Contributing – We as believers are accountable to God for contributing our time, talents, and treasures to furthering the Kingdom of God in response to God's grace in our lives. All of life must be lived in light of the crucified, risen, and returning Lord, Savior, and King (1 Cor. 3; 2 Cor. 8-9; Prov. 3; Rom. 12; 1 Cor. 15; Titus 2; 2 Tim. 4; Rev. 19-22:12)
- Compassionate – All Christ-followers are called by God to care for the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the world. (Matt. 25; John 11; Luke 10; Matt. 5-7; Phil. 2)
- Christ-Like - This is the goal of the 6 C's: to be like Jesus in our character, thoughts, actions, and words, modeling Him and His holiness in our relationship with God and others. This is the goal of discipleship. (1 John 2:6; John 13:15; 1 Cor. 11:1; 1 Pet. 1:14-16)
All of our ministries revolve around these fundamentals of discipleship. We will know if we are succeeding in the mission of making disciples by whether or not the followers of Christ at CCC exhibit such characteristics. We rely upon God's grace and power to enable us to all work together in reproducing disciples of Jesus Christ for His glory.
*Discipleship is the process through which God transforms the life of the believer into the image of Jesus Christ through the Word of God, by the Spirit of God, in fellowship with the people of God, to the glory of God. (Rom. 6-8; 1 Thess. 4; John 17; 2 Cor. 3:18; Col. 3; 1 Pet. 1:22-2:12; 2 Pet. 1).

Football world says poignant farewell to Graham Taylor
Luminaries from the world of football gathered for the funeral of Graham Taylor in Watford yesterday, paying tribute to a husband, father, grandfather and one of their own.
"'Family first, except on match days', he used to say," daughter Joanne told mourners during a poignant service at St Mary's Church.
The former Watford, Aston Villa and Wolves manager died on January 12 aged 72 following a suspected heart attack.
Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Watford captain Troy Deeney were among the hundreds of mourners to attend.
In Watford the affection for Taylor was undimmed by his ignominious England reign from 1990 to 1993, which saw his team fail to qualify for the 1994 World Cup in the United States.
An estimated 1,500 people gathered, many in the gold, black and red of Watford FC, to pay their respects. Some scaled a multi-story car park to view proceedings.
Taylor led the Hornets from the old Fourth Division to runners-up in the top flight in his first spell in charge, when Sir Elton John owned the club.
John was not present, but his tribute to Taylor was read by John Motson, the BBC commentator, as audio of the service was relayed to those outside.
"I have so many wonderful memories of Graham that I could write a whole book. He was without doubt like a brother," John said.
John lauded Taylor's enthusiasm, commitment and passion as Watford became "an unstoppable force of nature".
Taylor achieved three promotions in five seasons with Watford before leaving for Villa in 1987.
He made Watford - where he had a second spell as manager from 1996 to 2001 - a family and community club. John said: "He is a legend in this community, in football and in life. I love you my friend. Thank you for everything."

Telltale Charts
Is anticipating heart disease as easy as 1, 2, 3, 4?
When Umesh Khot attended medical school in the early 1990s, his instructors taught him and his fellow students the four warning signs of heart disease: high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, diabetes, and cigarette use. Large studies in the 1960s and 1970s, such as the well-known Framingham Heart Study, had established these links. However, the instructors informed the students of "the 50-percent rule."
That notion, recited in classes at many medical schools and repeated in the pages of medical journals, holds that half of all people who develop heart disease won't have any of these four warning signs in their medical charts. In other words, a lot of patients whom the young doctors would be treating for heart attacks would be the victims of some unknown, probably genetic, factor.

Actor Ramarajan has said that Vijayakanth managed whatever popularity he got in films thanks to the 'Kanth' suffix in his name which he borrowed from superstar Rajinikanth's name. Ramarajan, who has been active in politics and is with the ruling AIADMK, was speaking at roadside meetings as part of the election campaign at Sankarankoil, where a bye-election is round the corner.
"Vijayakanth's earlier films were colossal failures. He then thought hard and changed his original name of Vijayaraj to Vijayakanth, borrowing the 'Kanth' from superstar Rajinikanth albeit informally. Vijayakanth is a traitor who has betrayed the good deeds and gestures of Amma, our beloved chief minister. As such, people should teach him a fitting lesson.
"He has conveniently forgotten that but for Amma's benign help, he wouldn't be having so many MLAs in the Assembly at present. If he finds himself as the Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly today, it's because of Amma's generous gesture and help in allotting him that many seats and ensuring that his candidates won the seats in the last year's Assembly elections.
"His status has gone to his head and he has betrayed Amma and AIADMK. I appeal to you all to teach Vijayakanth a fitting lesson by making his candidate lose deposit," concluded Ramarajan.

The regulator said that it had been a suspected fire but IndiGo said that there was no fire. The cabin crew used a fire extinguisher out of caution and then put the phone in a container filled with water. Samsung has acknowledged that it's looking into the matter, saying that "we are in touch with relevant authorities to gather more information." The regulator has now said that it's going to send an advisory to all airlines with a warning to keep all Samsung Note smartphones switched off in flights or avoid carrying the phones on commercial flights completely.
This appears to be the first such report about the Galaxy Note 2 as it's not believed to have widespread battery defects like the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung released the Galaxy Note 2 back in 2013 and it no longer sells this handset officially.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants: Richard Kingsmell settled with his wife Jane and son and daughter in Virginia in 1624; James Kingsmill settled in Virginia in 1635.

Palm webOS Human Interface and User Experience VP Leaves for Google
Matias Duarte leaves the struggling company for Google's Android.
Palm's vice president of human interface and user experience Matias Duarte has in fact officially left the ailing company for the greener pastures of Google, specifically Android.
Reports of Duarte's departure began to circulate early this morning, but no one from either side nor Duarte himself have confirmed this news. Palm has admitted that Duarte has indeed left, the company has refused to confirm where the VP is heading.
Before Palm, Duarte was the vice president of experience design at Helio and before that helped design the Danger Hiptop. Duarte also worked with Andy Rubin on the Sidekick. Rudin is now the head of Android.
Duarte leaves Palm during a transition period. Palm was recently purchased by HP who now has plans to roll out the Linux-based webOS on its Slate, mobile devices and even printers. Duarte had a key role in the design of webOS and introduced it to the public at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show.

Part 6
Pilot the Seasons of Change
"The most effective way to cope with change is to help create it."
- L. W. Lynett
"Sometimes we fear letting go of the familiar, even if it hasn't always been pleasant, even if we want to change it."
Change is not an event. It is a natural process like the seasons in nature.
Think a moment about a change that you feel would be good for you to make in your life, but one that would be difficult for you to make.
Consider a change that will help you toward your vision…
" Other change you bring about yourself to create opportunities. Quite often these types of change are mixed.If you are to seek a better life than the one you have now, you have to make your own changes and not just wait for good things to happen to you.."
Just as change is natural, so are the feeling that accompany it.
Good things don't always come quickly… if it were a deadly diseas
People who aren't very patent can give up on change before they derive the benefits from it.Developing Patience
Stay focused on your dreams if it were a deadly diseas
Stay true to your principles and beliefs
Give yourself a break
Unload your calendar
Put out your distress signals Handling the Stress of Change

Hilliard's heroics seal title
Monaghan 1-18
Longford 1-10
Louth native Trevor Hilliard's 55th-minute goal proved pivotal as Monaghan secured the Division 4 title at a sunny Breffni Park.
Hilliard added to Monaghan's seven unanswered points on the restart after Longford had led by 1-6 to 0-5 at the interval thanks to a string of points from Gareth Ghee and a well-taken goal from John O'Brien.
Less than a minute after Monaghan's green flag, the Leinstermen's cause wasn't helped when they lost Mark Cassidy to a straight red card after he lashed out at Hilliard.
It was all too easy for wind-aided Monaghan after that with Michael McHugh punishing an increasingly frustrated Longford at every opportunity to ensure his side's promotion to Division 3.
Scorers -- Monaghan: M McHugh 0-10 (8f); T Hilliard 1-0; S Leonard, D Crowe 0-2 each; B McGuigan, B Phelan, M Lennon, K Boylan 0-1 each. Longford: G Ghee 0-5 (3f); J O'Brien 1-0; S Hannon, E Donnellan (1f) 0-2; M Cassidy 0-1.
Monaghan: H Byrne; P Dowdall, P Murphy, A Kerr; D Crowe, S Loftus, J McAnespie; T Hilliard, B Phelan; K Boylan, S Leonard, B McGuigan; R Meegan, M McHugh, M Lennon. Subs: D Beirne for R Meegan (59); A Og McAnespie for B Phelan (inj, 61)

ABERDEEN, UK – The new Glen Lyon FPSO for the BP-operated Quad 204 development west of Shetland has started sea trials.
The project involves re-developing the Schiehallion and Loyal fields, extending production to 2035 and possibly beyond.
Aside from connecting and commissioning the new FPSO, the scope includes drilling new production and injection wells and upgrading the subsea pipeline, manifold, and wellhead infrastructure.
Schiehallion and Loyal have produced nearly 400 MMbbl of oil since production started in 1998. Quad 204 is designed to access the remaining estimated 450 MMbbl.
Glen Lyon is 270 m (886 ft) long and 52 m (170 ft) wide. It will be able to process and export up to 130,000 b/d of oil and to store up to 800,000 bbl.
BP operates the project, in partnership with Shell and OMV.
Other recent contract awards for Quad 204 include:
- £27 million ($41 million) to Amec Foster Wheeler for FPSO hook-up and commissioning support

Barnsley 0 – Manchester United 2 (Carling Cup, October 27, 2009) (Longer highlights here.) A simple header from Danny Welbeck from an Anderson corner after just six minutes put Manchester United in the lead at Barnsley. (First half highlights here.) On the hour Little Mickey scored a classy second for United, the striker slickly beating his marker before drilling a low shot into the bottom corner. Gary Neville then got himself sent off for a studs-up challenge on Tykes' winger Adam Hammill.
Tottenham 2 – Everton 0 (Carling Cup, October 27, 2009) Tom Huddlestone claimed the first with a powerful left foot finish in the first-half. Early in the second-half Spurs claimed their place in the quarter-finals with Robbie Keane volleying home after Howard had saved a penalty from the Irishman as well as follow-ups from Bale and Bentley. Harry Redknapp's post-match comments can be seen here.
Bristol Rovers 0 – Leeds 4 (League One, October 27, 2009) The home side lost their fourth successive match, goalscorers for Leeds were Jermaine Beckford (2), Sam Vokes and Tresor Kandol.
Arka Gdynia 2 – West Ham 2 (Friendly, October 27, 2009) 19-year-old Terry Dixon fired West Ham into the lead in Poland, the striker burying a shot in the Arka net following a 19th minute free-kick. 19-year-old Swiss left-back Fabio Daprela doubled the Londoners lead after 64 minutes, before Filip Burkhardt scored for the Poles to give the hosts hope of a comeback.

We arrived Friday with a large group of people and a few kids and 2 dogs ready to have a great weekend and enjoy staying up late talking around the camp fire. Well for starters, who ever did the site layouts did a horrible job! The picnic tables were way too close to the campfire and the tables nor fire pit could be moved, not that is was THAT big of a deal but we dealt with it. So Friday night we are sitting around talking and laughing and enjoying the great weather about 11pm when we were approached by 3 campground security officers telling us there was a no noise tolerance past 10pm and that he advised us all to go to bed and if we kept it up that he would come back and fine each person $130?!? While one of the other officers was going through our open cars with flash lights??????????? Mind you, we are all adults here with a few children who were only talking and laughing. So we all went to bed as told! Saturday night same thing! it was not even 10pm yet when we were warned about the no noise tolerance and needed to go to bed by 10?!?!? Okay so first thing every morning the trash truck would come through between 6 and 7 AM LOUD as can be and honked the horn every time he backed up stopping at every trash station. And people with little yappy dogs through the day and night and wee hours of the morning barking at every noise they heard. We had 2 dogs with us that DID NOT BARK ONCE!!! Yet we talked passed 10pm get yelled out and they allow other people to let their dogs bark all night???????? I'm just very disappointed by this campsite, if you plan on going and enjoying yourself past 10pm or sleeping past 6am THIS CAMPGROUND IS NOT FOR YOU! WE WILL NEVER GO BACK AGAIN!!!!!!!

HUMIDITY CONTROL INSTRUMENTATION FOR SAMPLE CHAMBERS USED IN X-RAY SCATTERING EXPERIMENTS: HUMIDITY SENSING AND GENERATION. Obafemi Otelaja, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Howard University, Washington DC 20059

The hydration level of open samples used in x-ray scattering experiments is changed by varying the relative humidity (RH) in a temperature controlled, aluminum sample chamber. The traditional relative humidity sensors used in these sample chambers usually have a slow response, and they are susceptible to damage at very high RH. The aim of this work is to realize a precise and durable method for humidity control using chilled mirror dew point hygrometer for RH sensing, divided-flow volumetric mix ratio technique for RH generation, and a newly designed temperature controlled and monitored sample chamber. By flowing helium gas, of predetermined flow rate, through a fritted gas dispersion tube into a flask containing temperature controlled water, the wet gas leaving the flask would be saturated at the water temperature. The wet gas is mixed with dry helium, also of predetermined flow rate, and the mixture is maintained at the saturation temperature and flown through the chilled mirror sensor into the sample chamber. From the chilled mirror sensor, we could obtain the dew point temperature, and with a four-wire surface platinum resistance temperature detector (PRTD) placed inside the sample chamber, we could obtain the sample temperature. Hence, we could determine the relative humidity in the sample chamber as a ratio of actual vapor pressure to saturated vapor pressure, since vapor pressure and saturated vapor pressure could be obtained from dew point and sample temperature respectively.
Optica's Digiloop Control vs. Traditional PID Control
Power Booster Design for TEC Module
Divided-flow humidity generation operate under flow rate control whereby a continuous stream of saturated helium (wet) is mixed in selected proportion with a continuous stream of dry helium. The flow rates of the gas is to be predetermined using OMEGA FMA5400 mass flow controllers.
The chilled mirror hygrometer (CMH) has been used a s a NIST-referenced standard in metrology laboratories for the past four decades. CMH provide a direct measurement of the dew point temperature of a sample of gas of unknown water vapor content. GE Eastern Optica chilled mirror analyzer and a D2 chilled mirror sensor were obtained for this purpose.
Future work on this project is to complete the design of the divided-flow humidity generation technique. Also, final integration of sample chamber, chilled mirror sensor, Optica analyzer, Humidity generator, and flow controllers would be done.

TEC Module
I would like to acknowledge my supervisor, Dr Lin Yang for rendering his technical expertise throughout the summer, and as the work continues.
I also express my gratitude to Dr. Ronald Pindak and Mr.
Terrence Buck for providing this opportunity of great learning.
The mirror consists of a small polished rhodium mirror attached to a two-stage thermoelectric cooling (TEC) module. The Optica analyzer's servo controller applies current to the TEC, which
causes the mirror to cool. The mirror is illuminated by a Gas emitter, and the light reflected by the mirror is received by a photodetector. As gas flows over the mirror, dew droplets form on the mirror surface and the reflected light is scattered. As reflected light decreases, photodetector output decreases. This in turn controls the TEC via a control system that maintains the mirror at dew point. A PRTD embedded in the mirror monitors the dew point temperature. The dew point measurement range is -31 F to 77F (equivalent to 0.7% to 100%) to an accuracy of +/- 0.36 F dew/frost point.

Today, annual fees on credit cards are nothing like as common as they once were. Maybe as few as one in four products still charges them. So, given so many free options, why would anyone choose to pay? There are three main circumstances when it might be the smart move.
1. When You're Going to Get Better Rewards
Some plastic offers richer rewards if you pay an annual fee than you'd get for a similar, free product. Deciding which of those two cards to choose involves some simple math: Are the additional rewards miles, points or cash back you're going to get worth more than the fee? Let's look at a real-life example.
The Blue Cash Everyday® Card from American Express has no annual fee, while the Blue Cash Preferred® Card from American Express levies one of $95. Choose the former and you get a one-time $100 statement credit as a sign-up bonus -- providing you spend $1,000 in purchases on your new Card within the first 3 months. Opt for the second, and you get $150 statement credit.
But the big difference comes with rewards. Pay that annual fee, and you get 6 percent cash back on the first $6,000 you spend at U.S. supermarkets each year (then 1 percent), and 3 percent on unlimited purchases at U.S.gas stations and many U.S. department stores. All other purchases earn you 1 percent. Avoid that fee, and you get only 3 percent cash back on your first $6K spent at U,S, supermarkets (then 1%), and 2 percent for U.S. gas station and U.S. department store purchases. Again, everything else gets you 1 percent. So, assuming you spend $6,000 a year in supermarkets, you'll earn $180 more ($360 p.a.) with the fee card, because you'll receive just $180 p.a. with the non-fee one. That means you'll already be making $105 a year profit by paying the fee, and the extra you earn at gas stations and department stores is icing on the cake. Of course, if you don't spend that much in supermarkets, you're going to need a calculator to work out the fee's breakeven point for your personal spending patterns.
2. When You're Going to Get Better Perks
The highest annual fee you're likely to be asked to pay for a mainstream credit card is $495. Most of us would think that a ridiculous amount, but people do pay it. So what do they get?
Well, The Black Card from Visa is one that charges that much -- plus $195 p.a. for each authorized user. You'd need to live a time-poor and cash-rich lifestyle to justify such an expense, but it's not a bad buy for those who do. One of its big selling points is its 24/7 concierge service, which recommends restaurants and other leisure venues and makes reservations, as well as sourcing gifts and goods for you and providing a host of other services. But some may value more the "VIP treatment" Black cardholders are offered at 3,000 properties (presumably hotels and resorts), and the unlimited visits to "VIP airport lounges," in the words of the card's website. It's only a guess, but the team marketing this card may be trying to appeal to people who like to think of themselves as VIPs.
If you spend a lot of time traveling -- and you can afford it -- those perks may easily justify the $495 a year they'll cost you. Of course, most cards with annual fees charge and offer a lot less. It's really up to you to decide whether to pay a fee or perks, and, if so, to conduct your own cost/benefit analysis.
3. When You Need a Secured Credit Card
Secured credit cards are about as far away from Visa's Black Card as you can get. They're different from mainstream "unsecured" credit cards because you usually don't get "real" credit -- instead depositing money with the card issuer to protect it in case you default. The line between these and prepaid cards is gradually blurring, but they're often good for people who've been through financial disasters, who no longer qualify for other forms of plastic, and who need a card or want to rebuild credit. If they prove themselves good customers, secured-card issuers will often upgrade them to an unsecured credit card (one with a credit line), sometimes quite quickly.
Re-establishing your credit is rarely cheap or easy, and many secured credit cards charge annual or monthly fees. But they could be well worth it if they help you build your credit score. Just watch out for the one or two sharks that swim among the companies that offer them.
Some people hate annual fees, and refuse to pay them on principle. But they're not always a bad thing. You just need to make a cool calculation about whether the benefits they bring are, in your circumstances and with your lifestyle, worth the money.

Any way to get around? Any way to make vibrate more than 2 quick buzzes? Quick way to change from Ring to Vibrate other than ringer volume all the way down to vibrate? Thanks

McNamara, a crime writer, died in her sleep at the couple's home in Los Angeles in April. She was 46 years old.
In an interview with The New York Times, Oswalt says McNamara was obsessively working on her book, "The Golden State Killer", at the time, and because he was worried about her health, he suggested a night to "sleep until you wake up." Oswalt says McNamara took some Xanax and went to bed.

After driving their 7-year-old daughter, Alice, to school and picking up some coffee for her, Oswalt says she was still snoring at 9:40 a.m. when he returned. However, after he took care of some business in his home office, he returned to his bedroom at 12:42 p.m. and realized she wasn't breathing. The paramedics arrived, and they pronounced her dead.
Although the coroner's office has still not declared a cause of death, Oswalt says he believes his wife overdosed on Xanax.
"I have a feeling it might have been an overdose," he says. "That's what the paramedics there were saying while I was screaming and throwing up."
"I was literally blinking trying to get out of this," he recalls about the nightmarish scene.
Still, he doesn't count the moment as the worst day of his life.
"The worst is when I told my daughter the next day," the 47-year-old "Veep" actor explains.
Oswalt went to counseling to deal with his grief, and candidly admits to at one point, turning to alcohol.
"I found out the hard way these past few months that alcohol really doesn't help," he says.
Returning to performing stand-up has actually helped him deal with the tragedy.
"[Getting on stage is] a rebuke to grief, an acceptance of the messiness of life," he notes. "I'll never be at 100 percent again, but that won't stop me from living this."
These days, the comedian says he and his daughter keep McNamara's memory alive by sitting down together and writing three things they remember about her every night.
"It keeps this living portrait of her," he says, getting emotional.
WATCH: Patton Oswalt Shares Powerful Post About Grief, Vows to Finish Late Wife's Unfinished Book
Last month, Oswalt dedicated his Emmy award for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special to McNamara.
"Every bit of growth that I've had in my career, especially in my writing and my performing, came because I met Michelle McNamara," Oswalt told reporters backstage. "Because I met and married this woman who just was so much wiser and self-actualized and aware of life than I was. I had convinced myself that I was aware and self-actualized and mature, but then I met the real deal."
"To have that ripped out of my life the way that it has this year — I'm not trying to say that this is meaningless, but everything seems like the lights have been turned down 50 percent on everything since she's gone," he continued. "It's just going to be a long, long time before I can be the kind of person she made me again."

Review of "asda.co.uk"
"Heaven for Lazy People!"
Asda.com (home shopping)
Before using Asda home shopping I read all the reviews written about it to know what kind of service I should expect. I read some fairly good reviews and other terribly bad experiences, and I took the risk. I waited to have a bad experience with Asda before I review the service, but now after six deliveries, nothing seriously bad happened. Still, I will try to discuss all the negative aspects that some reviewers mentioned.
To register, you have to make sure that Asda delivers to your address, then you have to provide some basic information. I read in one of the reviews that navigating the site is difficult and so shopping takes time. For me, navigating is extremely easy, and I will explain this more, but the site is somewhat slow. This slowness can be tolerated, but I just wish the pages would appear more quickly. I said navigating is very easy because you can find a list of the aisles with a search facility on the left, a number of useful links in the middle, and the content of your trolley on the right. Everything is at your finger tips, and the more you shop, the easier it gets to find what you want more quickly. If you want to buy "chocolate peanuts" you can search for it, and so a number of products will appear in the middle. Some other irrelevant products will appear as well, but the search facility is still very useful. You can also find "chocolate peanuts" in the list of aisles through going to confectionery > chocolate > large bags. Once you find the product you are looking for, and here you have the choice to see the shelf with or without pictures of the products, you can simply add it to your trolley by pressing the yellow button (add). There are other choices as well, like adding more than one of the same product, and also choose to add a certain product to your favourites.
The first one of the aisles has to do with the occasion at the time of the shopping like Easter, Christmas, New Year, etc., and now it is St George's Day. The rest include: bakery & cakes + dairy, milk & eggs + fruit, vegetables & salad + meat, poultry & fish + ready meals, pies & pizza + baking, desserts & spreads + beers, wines & spirits + biscuits & snacks + confectionery + cereals + cooking ingredients + pasta, rice & noodles + soft drinks, tea & coffee + tins & packets + world foods, sauces & accompaniments + frozen food + baby + pharmacy & health + toiletries + cleaning + household & kitchen + laundry + pet care + electrical goods + newsagent & kiosk + home & leisure + recipes + George at home. This means that you can find almost everything you want without much effort. You can buy not only different kinds of food, but also laundry products, kitchen utensils, cigarettes, some kinds of medicine, and even some essential electrical goods.
Most of the problems have to do with the products that are delivered to you: missing items, replaced items, or even added items. In my first delivery, one item was missing, but it was not an essential item for only £0.80, so this did not bother me and I did not call to inform them. Another time, the bread I bought was replaced by a different kind, without having this clearly stated in the delivery note, so it was a mistake. Again this was not worth complaining about although I did not like the bread they replaced mine with. I read about all kinds of mistakes when it comes to delivery from Asda, but for me the mistakes were tolerable. If you find something wrong with the products delivered to you, you can call customer service: 0845 300 7771.
The value of the items in your trolley should be at least £25 so that you go to check out. A delivery slot can be booked even before you start shopping, and it will be reserved for you for three hours. Every delivery slot is two hours, but the time and delivery charge are not the same for all the week days. You can choose from the following delivery slots: (10am-12pm) (11am-1pm) (2pm-4pm) (3pm-5pm) (6pm-8pm) or (7pm-9pm) except for Sunday in which the delivery slots are: (11am-1pm) (12pm-2pm) (3pm-5pm) or (4pm-6pm). As for the delivery charge, it's £4.00 on Tuesday and Wednesday, £4.50 on Monday and Thursday, and £5.00 on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So, choose wisely and don't wait till the weekend when you no longer have any food in the house.
I read in some reviews that delivery was late at times, but this never happened to me. Still, once the delivery was an hour early; the driver just called and said he is a bit early, but this wasn't a problem for me. Once I took a survey on Asda about the kind of service I get from them, and the questions made e realize things that I never paid attention to before. The questions which I replied with "no" to are: do the drivers introduce themselves? Do they state what the substitutes are? Do they tell you that you can give them the unwanted plastic bags so that they recycle them? I think these questions are relevant, but I still think that the service is satisfactory even when the driver does not say much.
Everybody knows that the best thing about Asda is the huge number of offers they have. The special offers can be found if you choose one of the tabs in the middle of the screen. These include: rollback, multisave, and Asda price. The best one of the offers is usually the multisave which includes a huge number of products on offer. However, I have to warn you here that, although most of the offers are great, some of them are more expensive when bought separately. For instance, if we remain with the "chocolate peanuts" example, the single 200g bag can be bought for £0.48 and the offer is 3 for £2.00 (!!!)
I read certain reviews in which people complained because if you want a certain offer, it should be still valid on the day of delivery. The writer of the review said that she was surprised by the doubled price at the time of delivery. I don't know if things changed since then, but this mistake cannot happen if you shop now. To begin with, you can check the validity of each offer before you buy, and even if you miss that and go to checkout, a warning written in red will be found on top of the contents of your trolley to the effect that a certain offer won't be valid so be careful. However, the problem is, if you choose not to receive substitutes, you might lose a certain offer. For example, Super noodles to Go (each for £0.78) is on offer now: 4 for £2.00. If you choose 4 different kinds and one of them turns out to be unavailable at the time of delivery, you will pay more than £2.00 even though you get 3 noodle pots only. This, however, can be solved very easily by choosing to accept substitutes.
Home shopping experience
One of the reviews that attracted my attention was obviously written by someone who works for Asda. That review attacked another review that criticized the service, and the main point was that lazy people should be grateful that Asda workers do the shopping for them. Well, I am very grateful… thank you! I think more and more people will start buying groceries online, exactly as we buy books, perfumes, and numerous other things online. Moreover, it is true that you pay £4.00-£5.00 for the delivery, yet you save money. That is because, in addition to the various offers in Asda, online shopping prevents you from buying whatever you see in the supermarket even when it is not on your list. It also helps you control your spending if you have a certain budget that you don't want to exceed. So, it's not just for lazy people… it's for those who can't do the shopping themselves, those who don't have the time, and even those who want to save money. The negative points, in addition to being even more lazy, is all the possible mistakes I mentioned previously and also receiving your groceries in so many plastic bags. This is because frozen and chilled food, and different kind of products are put in separate bags. However, Asda solved this by allowing customers to give the plastic bags to the driver so that they get recycled.
To conclude, I will keep using this service and I promise to update my review if something bad happens.

A family has dozens of strangers to thank for their lives after the do-gooders reportedly formed a human chain to save them from the grips of a rip current off Floridas Gulf Coast.
Remarkable photos snapped along the shores of Panama City Beach on Saturday captured the chain stretching into the water, where at least nine people gasped for their lives,the Panama City News Herald reported.
I honestly thought I was going to lose my family that day, Roberta Ursrey, who ran into the rough water to save her children, told the paper. It was like, Oh God, this is how Im going.
Ursrey, her husband, mother,nephews and children were enjoying the warm water when she said she heard her two sons screaming offshore that they were stuck.
People on the beach around her encouraged her not to go out after them, she said, but she refused to watch her children drown and went out anyway. One by one, her family followed after her and they too were overtaken by the water. In the chaos, her mother suffered a heart attack in the water.
Tabatha Monroe, who heard the boys cries while with her wife, Brittany, said they too became trapped while trying to help the family. They tried to swim straight and sideways but nothing worked, she told the Washington Post.
I was exhausted, Monroe told the paper, saying that she was sure she would drown.
Derek Simmons, who recently moved to the area with his wife, Jessica, from Alabama, said they heard the commotion and people pointing at the water.Initially, his wife thought it was a shark.
There was a guy in the water, saying, man, theyre all stuck out there, the riptides pulled them out. I tried to go out there; if I go any farther, Im going to get stuck,he recalled to Alabama news station WSFA.
Jessica, who credited herself as a strong swimmer, told the Herald that they went in after the family,while instructing others to connect with them in a chain.
It was the most remarkable thing to see, Simmons told the Herald. These people who dont even know each other and they trust each other that much to get them to safety.
As many as 80 people ventured into the water to help pull the swimmers to safety, the local paper reported.
Once safe on shore,Ursrey said her mother was rushed to a hospitals intensive care unit for an aortic aneurysm in her stomach.
According to aGoFundMe page set up by Ursrey, her mother is continuing to recover from the traumatic ordeal.
She has some heart and stomach issues along with some pneumonia the doctors are having to deal with, the GoFundMe page states. So she is stable but she will remain in the hospital for a while they said.
Each year, tens of thousands of people are rescued from rip currents in the U.S., while an estimated 100 people are killed, according to the National Ocean Service.
Moving at speeds of up to eight feet per second, rip currents can move faster than an Olympic swimmer, NOAAs website states.
The government agency advises that if caught in a rip current, swimmers should not fight the currents pull but instead try to swim parallel to the shore and then back to land at an angle.
Panicked swimmers often try to counter a rip current by swimming straight back to shoreputting themselves at risk of drowning because of fatigue, NOAAs website states.

It's been said that if you want something done right, ask a busy person.
Maybe that's why Page Siplon — director of the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics in Savannah and one of the busiest people in Georgia — has been tapped by the Georgia Department of Economic Development to lead all six state innovation centers.
More likely, it's because if anyone is up to the task, it's Siplon.
"Georgia's Centers of Innovation program is a national model and an excellent resource to help our Georgia companies create new jobs and investment," said Chris Cummiskey, commissioner of economic development for the state.
"Page has a proven track record of success with the logistics center, and his past experiences, leadership and enthusiasm will elevate the program to the next level."
The Georgia Centers of Innovation focus on six areas of strategic industry growth and expansion: agribusiness, aerospace, energy, life sciences and IT, logistics and manufacturing.
The centers are intended to help Georgia companies grow and compete globally by leveraging industry expertise on their behalf; establishing connections and facilitating collaborations with other companies, state organizations, agencies and universities; and providing access to researchers and resources.
"The Georgia Centers of Innovations program is an excellent example of this state's ongoing commitment to expanding global markets for local, national and international business," said Curtis Foltz, executive director of the Georgia Ports Authority.
"Page's successful efforts in bringing together logistics professionals here in Georgia will undoubtedly serve him and the Georgia Department of Economic Development well moving forward in his new role."
The Savannah Morning News sat down with Siplon this week to talk about his new role and what he sees in the future for Georgia economic development.
Q. Running the logistics center is a full-time responsibility. How are you going find time to lead all six centers spread out across the state?
A. "There's a big difference between running an organization and leading it. Each of our centers is under the oversight of an experienced director, a true professional and expert in the industry. They don't need me to run their organizations.
"I don't have the focus and expertise they do. What they do need is someone to yell from the rooftops, both here in Georgia and around the country, to make sure they are widely known and easily accessible.
"My job is to help them make those connections that will allow each center to better serve the companies and communities they work with every day.
"I've heard the Centers of Innovation described as 'Georgia's hidden treasures.' I guess that's flattering, but it's also a little disappointing. I see my responsibility as being more like the chief cheerleader, shining a light on all the successful things they are already doing and the services and opportunities they offer for business and economic growth."
Q. What role do you see the centers playing in economic development?
A. "Economic development is a service industry and our Centers of Innovation program is an industry-focused division of the Department of Economic Development. As such, we don't actually manufacture a product.
"The Ag center, for example, doesn't have chickens and cows; the logistics center doesn't have trucks or trains. The centers were established in critical areas to provide the expertise and connections that help Georgia companies and strategic industries solve problems, grow quickly and compete globally.
"They do this by knowing their industries inside and out and helping the companies that work within those industries understand the issues and make the connections to compete and grow. It's about doing what company owners and operators don't often have time to do — stepping back, looking at the overall trends, finding the resources and expertise that will help them navigate the business environment and maybe grabbing opportunities they didn't even know were there.
"Our centers are one tool in what, fortunately for Georgia, is a pretty big toolbox available for companies to take advantage of. But if we aren't leveraging all of our resources, shame on us."
Q. Why these six centers and do you anticipate adding more?
A. "These centers — logistics, agribusiness, aerospace, energy, life sciences/IT and manufacturing — are a very good representation of what Georgia does well, areas in which we almost have an unfair advantage.
"Take logistics, for example. We have the fourth-largest port in the country and the world's busiest airport. You couldn't buy that kind of access, even if you had a blank check. It's the same with agribusiness — we have a natural asset in our abundance of pine trees — and the industries the other centers represent.
"I don't really see adding other industries, at least not in the immediate future. Instead we will be focused on creating new opportunities and jobs through cross-collaboration among centers, as well as fine-tuning and focusing even more on what each center does best.
"For example, how can our logistics or energy assets help us land a new or expanded manufacturing facility that will employ more Georgians? How can we leverage aerospace technology to help our farmers grow better crops? These are all things that are in the works."
Q. How do you gauge the success of the centers?
A. "We measure success by a range of performance indicators primarily focused on the companies we help, connections into the R&D world, and the number of economic development projects we work on. There are other gauges as well that I think are different for each center.
"For my part at the logistics center, we've looked to the success of the Logistics Summit, which started out five years ago as a luncheon to help companies network and has grown into a major event that this year attracted some 2,000 public and private industry attendees from 30 states and nine countries.
"A general gauge, I think, would be the interest other states have taken in replicating the centers. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, although we really haven't done anything another state couldn't do.
"What you do need, however, is a commitment and leadership at the highest levels. Our state leaders have stepped up like no others to provide that, and it makes a huge difference. They get it. They understand that economic development is a tough sport and we need to stay one step ahead of the pack. The centers help us do that."
Q. Logistics is your area of expertise. How has logistics changed since you started and how will your role at the Logistics center change as you take on these other responsibilities?
A. "It's interesting in that we've always had logistics — products have always had to go from here to there — and, for the most part, it's supposed to be boring. Like a dial tone on the phone. We need it to be there, but we really don't want to think about it.
"These days, technology plays a huge role in logistics. We want everything 'just in time.' And we expect it to happen for free. If we don't offer it seemingly for free, someone else will.
"The truth is that logistics accounts for between 10 percent and 50 percent of a company's bottom line. This is part of the reason that, today, most companies have a 'chief logistics officer,' a 'supply chair manager' or similar title that was rarely heard of a decade ago when those responsibilities were folded into another job, like procurement.
"As for my responsibilities, they aren't going to change. The logistics center is working more projects with more companies than ever before. We're also already busy planning next year's summit. I might be in Atlanta and out at the other centers around the state a little more often, but the logistics center will still base its operations in Savannah."
Q. Speaking of Atlanta, it seems as if we're seeing more Savannah influence in our capital city. Do you see distinctions starting the blur?
A. "Absolutely. The old idea of two Georgias — Atlanta and the rest of the state — has been fading for some time. A lot of that has to do with the growth of collaboration and partnerships across the state, as well as technology advances that connect us and virtually shrink distances between cities.
"But a lot of it has to do with the growth of the ports and the reality that they are a major economic engine for the entire state and beyond.
"When we sit down with economic development prospects visiting us here in Georgia, we consistently hear how impressed they are with the teamwork that seems to come so naturally across such a wide range of agencies and groups.
"It allows them to really feel the business-friendly climate that the magazines always talk about Georgia having."
With nearly 10 years as executive director of the Georgia Center of Innovation for Logistics, Page Siplon was recently appointed to lead all six state Centers of Innovation.
An active industry leader, Siplon was recognized last year by DC Velocity magazine as a "2012 Logistics Rainmaker" — one of the top 10 logistics professionals in the nation. More recently, he was also selected by Georgia Trend magazine as one of the "Top 100 Most Influential Georgians" for 2013.
He serves in various industry leadership roles at both the state and federal level. Gov. Nathan Deal recently nominated Siplon to represent Georgia on a National Supply Chain Competitiveness Advisory Committee, where he was appointed to a two-year term by the U.S. Secretary of Commerce and was also selected to serve as vice-chairman.
Siplon is the appointed fiduciary agent for all U.S. Department of Homeland Security port security grants awarded to Georgia, responsible for a total of more than $16 million in allocated funds.
At the state level, he served as the lead consultant on the Commission for a New Georgia's Freight and Logistics Task Force, and in March 2012 aided the Georgia Department of Transportation in the release of the first comprehensive Statewide Freight and Logistics Action Plan.
Under Siplon's leadership, the center created and hosts the annual Georgia Logistics Summit, the only industry-driven, state-led event of its kind and size in the country.
Siplon has a master's degree in computer engineering from Georgia Tech and served a combined 12 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Air Force.

Post Edited (hep93) : 12/20/2009 2:17:09 PM (GMT-7)
That is great news!! I think you'll be very satisfied with Mayo. They do act quickly. Be sure to ask about the TheraSphere for Mike's cancer.
I can tell you that they will pack a lot into 2 days, so you will not need to stay there long. It is very tiring and because I live in a Mayo city, I have them spread my appts. out, whenever possible. However, for folks from out of town (or out of country), they try to get everything done quickly. Also, if the hospital in Rochester is anything like the one in Jacksonville, they have pull-out sleeper sofas so that you can spend nights with Mike in his room and won't even need a hotel room. Of course, for transplant down the road (if that happens), he would be in intensive care for awhile.
Try to get some rest. Don't want you getting sick, too.
What fantastic news! Yes, miracles DO happen. So good that you can relax a little bit now. As for Mike going to a meeting--praise God! And wonderful, too, that he liked it!
Big hugs,
Rick, how about that thick, sweet cafe Cubano? A cup or two of that and you'll be buzzin' around all day.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: Robert Charlton & goodroi
Since the recent shift in GEO targeting our .com is no longer ranking on the Google.ca as it used to. We have a geo ip redirect on the .com so that if the user is from Canada they get redirected to the .ca site, if in US they get the .com.
Currently we are banning the engines from crawling and indexing the .ca version and I'm wondering if we should open this up to Google (and other engines) and if we did is there a possible dup content penality.
Thanks for your feedback.
Google may penalize both of your sites for this duplicate issue however usually google will pick the original site and apply the rankings to it. I've seen both cases, neither of which will give you the results you are trying to achieve. If you are going to keep both sites identical you are running this rick.
Linking a .ca to a .com with same content
It's definitely good advice to try to differentiate the sites as much as possible with localized content.
For other discussions on these issues, take a look at the Geo-Targeted Search threads referenced in the Hot Topics area [webmasterworld.com], which is always pinned to the top of this forum's index page.
Right now we've got a complete ban for all engines on the .ca - the site's massive and making the copy unique would be a massive undertaking.
We could host the .ca version in Canada - but again, I don't think that'll help with the duplicate content issue.
