Organizations are attaching particular importance to investments enabling access to information anywhere and any time. The ability to access all required information about the city through mobile media, developed using KEOS, substantially increases the work capacity of those teams that operate in the field. When traditional methods were in use, preliminary preparation was needed for field work: mapping related material such as plans, cadastral surveys, or satellite images had to be printed; other documents associated with these drawings, such as licenses, owners lists, also had to be printed and the further data had to be entered on site. However, when data for a bordering parcel was required, it was impossible to eliminate a time-consuming trip back to the municipality building. With the use of mobile applications, the required information is available at your fingertips and all layers can be accessed concurrently.Our mobile solutions operate on Windows Mobile, IOS and Android devices. Specifically, the increase in the number of IOS and Android devices and the investments of GSM operators for 3G infrastructure in Turkey has made it possible to effectively and efficiently use these devices in the field. The global positioning system (GPS) installed on such devices enables access to information relating to your location to be displayed instantaneously.
The system, in addition to the comfort it provides for rapid and mobile access to data during one's daily routine, is also a data collection and evaluation tool thanks to its application software.• Collecting Place of Business information • Questionnaires • Numbering Updates • Social Welfare Questionnaires • Field Executions for Technical Works • Field Executions Municipal Police • Field Executions for Building Inspections• Field Executions for Parks and Gardens

Violent Gas Station Robber Sentenced to 8 Years in Prison
Held 93 Year Old Man Hostage
Baltimore, Maryland -U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. sentenced Cecil Bailey, age 26, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to eight years in prison, followed by three years of supervised release for commercial robbery.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III; Chief James W. Johnson of the Baltimore County Police Department; Special Agent in Charge Richard A. McFeely of the Federal Bureau of Investigation; Acting Special Agent in Charge Joseph Riehl of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; and Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy.
According to Bailey's plea agreement, on August 10, 2009, Bailey and his co-defendant, Robert Lanier, robbed Sunny's Gas Station at 5901 Belair Road in Baltimore. Lanier pulled a black semi-automatic gun and demanded money from the owner. Cecil Bailey then entered the station with a gun, pointed it at the cashier and demanded money from the Lotto register. While the cashier was attempting to open the register, Bailey repeatedly struck the cashier in the face with the gun and kicked him. During this assault, the owner was pushed to the rear of the store. Lanier joined Bailey at the front of the store and both Bailey and Lanier repeatedly struck the cashier in the face while demanding money from him. The owner used his cell phone to call 911 and ran from the gas station. Bailey and Lanier stole approximately $900 from the register and escaped in a car that was parked in the parking lot.
While police searched the area with helicopters and canine units, Bailey ran to the rear of a residence in the 4300 block of Mary Avenue and forced the owner of the residence, a 93 year-old man who had been sitting on the back porch, inside the home. SWAT team officers from both the Baltimore City and Baltimore County Police Departments were called and eventually entered the residence and rescued the homeowner, who was unharmed. Bailey was arrested and officers recovered: clothing matching the description of clothing worn by the robbers; a silver BB gun; white zip-lock zip ties; black plastic trash bags; keys and sunglasses. Also located in front of a house several doors away was a vehicle that had been rented by Bailey on July 10, 2009 in Atlanta, Georgia.
On November 16, 2009, Robert Lanier was arrested in Sarasota, Florida by FBI agents. Lanier, age 28, of Essex, Maryland, pleaded guilty to the same charge and was sentenced on June 7, 2010, to 175 months in prison.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney Debra L. Dwyer, who is prosecuting the case.

Ask WoW Insider: The ninja debuff {WoW}
Nov 25th 2008 8:10AM Sounds to me like you need a life, really. Simply killing mobs around a node doesn't make it yours, it's part of the game that you're going to have to accept. And reporting people who "steal" your nodes makes you pathetic, Blizzard isn't going to ban or warn people for doing things perfectly within their rights as a WoW player. Yes, it's rude, yes it's unethical but it's not going to change.
Based on your "logical solution" to the problem, a lvl 70 ganking in STV would be entitled to every node there simply because they're killing everything.
It's not even a big issue, if you're trying to do a quest and somebody comes up and you think he's doing the same one as you - invite him to your group and ask him if he wants to do it together. If it's from the opposing faction - tough, you're never going to change opposing players stealing your nodes/kills/quest items. You don't have priority over anyone in the game.
And the guy was right, you're not entitled to anything until it's in your bag, just because you got there 3 seconds earlier it doesn't mean you automatically get to loot everything. This is an MMO, if you have that much of a problem with it play a single player RPG.

I can see changes in the garden, very subtle, over the last week, and everything is starting to look more alive! It's awfully early, but who's complaining? Thursday in Texas promises to be a pretty fairly warm day, it will be for pruning, moving, etc. any roses that need it, and my DH is taking me to dinner that night - who could ask for anything more! The only sour note is that my ungrateful ingrate sons didn't take me up on Jimmy Buffet tickets for May. They just don't understand my good taste!! |

IMO, too much is coming alive in my garden this early. Coneflowers are peeking out with 6-8 leaves, salvia alive and kicking, sedum showing, roses budding, mexican honeysuckle putting out leaves, allium and rudbeckia growing, daylily putting on new growth ... and of course the henbit making its presence known where it's not welcome. :) Shasta daises still green and above ground from winter (after 3 snowfalls!), coreopsis and pentstemons still dormant though ... but the rest of it seems a tad early to me. I am waiting for the early March freeze/ice to set everything back to funks-ville. Even with the snowfall in the metro area this winter, I fear this enjoyable spring bodes formidable for a hot dang summer! |

Oddly, my yard is about a week behind schedule according to the pictures I've taken in past years. I'm ready for a hot summer! |
I have to get the weeds and grass removed from some areas before I can tell. However, I went out to investigate what that beautiful blue flowered plant was and found that my dwarf veronica is blooming. I wish that it would spread....love that plant.......cannot remember the name or I would get more. Tomorrow looks perfect for pruning the roses. |
I've noticed a lot of early blooms too. My fruit trees look like buds are forming too. I hope they don't bloom before the last freeze. |
My first iris of the season is in the tree ring by the mailbox that has bloomed. We still have to replace the roof on our house so I don't want to much to bloom. Otherwise the roofers will need to put lots of tarps down. |
Yes, I've already had most of my paperwhites bloom. One of my irises has bloomed two flowers as well. Some areas have a lot of bluebonnets coming up still. One of them is about to bloom within the next week. It's early for my area, but we've not had much of a winter. I've done some transplanting here and there and weeded a bit. I think that the weeds are going to be horrible this year. |

My collection of various sweet olives cultivars are blooming right now. I just planted Montezuma cypress that I got from my brother that had already started growing. Maybe it was because of mild weather in NW Houston? We will see how it does here next year. Latana plants are waking up as well. I noticed that a redbud in the median in the neighborhood is blooming right now. |

Review: The Option Trader's Hedge Fund by Dennis A. Chen and Mark Sebastian
Fri, Jul 13, 2012 | Jared Woodard
There is a well-established formula when it comes to books about options. The typical options book has sections that explain what puts and calls are, that review the different spread types, that explain the greeks, and that discuss implied and historical volatility. One reason I liked The Option Trader's Hedge Fund: A Business Framework for Trading Equity and Index Optionsis that it breaks that formula. Chen and Sebastian approach options trading through the metaphor of "The One Man Insurance Company," (TOMIC) explaining how a portfolio manager focused on options strategies is analogous to a traditional insurance business. Where an insurance company prices and underwrites a policy, an options trader looks for overpriced options to sell. Insurers purchase reinsurance policies to protect themselves from risks that they don't want to take, just as options traders hedge away unwanted risk exposure in order to isolate their volatility thesis. Where an insurer works to acquire new customers, options traders work orders in the market to add to their portfolio of desired risk.
TOMIC is a great metaphor for what option traders do, and in Part I the authors use it as a framework to cover other important aspects of trading-as-a-business, like infrastructure, the psychology of risk management, and performance tracking. Instead of just telling you to keep a trading journal, they show you how with some concrete examples. Position sizing, portfolio insurance with unit puts, and other aspects of risk management are also covered in this section.
Where the book excels the most, I think, is in Part II. This part of the book is all about when and how to trade intermediate and advanced options spreads. Chapter 9, the heart of the section, covers vertical spreads, iron condors, iron butterflies, time spreads, and ratio/back spreads. The authors quickly remind you what each spread type consists of before getting on with the discussion of the conditions under which each position should be used, methods for adjusting threatened trades, and examples of each spread type. Exit and adjustment conditions and profit goals receive as much attention as entry criteria, which is a real plus. You can often tell a serious options trader by the tools he or she doesn't use. The strategies presented here don't rely on input from fundamental or technical analysis, but on the analysis of volatility and order flow.
Part III, "Lessons from the trading floor," is a collection of some of Mark's best work at Option Pit over the last few years. The chapters are composed of quick hits on important topics that arise for experienced traders. Here is a small sample of some of the topics covered:
- Understanding weighted vegas in SPX options
- Four tips when the VIX is depressed
- How option time value decays over the weekend
- When you should worry about assignment
- A butterfly trading checklist
The Option Trader's Hedge Fund is not written for novices – as the authors state, it should not be the first book you ever read about options. But if you've traded some option spreads before and are looking for new ideas or for methods to improve your trading, this really is a great resource.
Disclosure: Mark Sebastian and I are cofounders, with Bill Luby, of Expiring Monthly: The Option Trader's Journal.

Anchorage, Oct 26, 2011 -- Contact:

USDA-RD to Fund Rural Cooperative Development Grant for the
University of Alaska Anchorage
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, October 26, 2011 – USDA-Rural Development Alaska State Director Jim Nordlund today announced the University of Alaska Anchorage will receive funding in the amount of $225,000 to improve economic conditions in Alaska by working to establish new cooperatives and providing technical assistance to strengthen existing ones.
"These grants help cooperatives support local projects and initiatives that create jobs and improve rural economic conditions," Nordlund said. As we celebrate National Cooperative Month, USDA-RD is proud to continue its support of local and regional efforts to bolster these cooperatives and help them bring increased value and economic opportunity to rural residents."
The grant is being provided through USDA-RD's Rural Cooperative Development Grant program. Under this program, grants of up to $225,000 may be awarded to colleges, universities and non-profit groups to create and operate centers that help individuals or groups establish, expand or operate rural businesses, especially cooperatives and mutually-owned businesses.
Grants may be used to conduct feasibility studies, create and implement business plans, and help businesses develop new markets for their products and services. Funding for each project is contingent upon the recipient meeting the terms of the grant agreement.
Chancellor of the University of Alaska Anchorage Tom Case said, "As Chancellor, I encourage programs that are innovative and collaborative. We are happy to receive another Rural Cooperative Development Grant from the USDA-RD. Under previous grants we have helped more than five groups form cooperatives and aided numerous others with cooperative development best practices. With this year's grant we will support groups forming food, renewable energy, agricultural and seafood marketing cooperatives and introduce more groups to the cooperative business model."
Since taking office, President Obama's Administration has taken significant steps to improve the lives of rural Americans and has provided broad support for rural communities. The Obama Administration has set goals of modernizing infrastructure by providing broadband access to 10 million Americans, expanding educational opportunities for students in rural areas, and providing affordable health care.
In the long term, these unparalleled rural investments will help ensure that America's rural communities are repopulating, self-sustaining, and thriving economically.
USDA-Rural Development administers and manages housing, business and community infrastructure and facility programs through a national network of state and local offices. Rural Development has an existing portfolio of more than $155 billion in loans and loan guarantees. These programs are designed to improve the economic stability of rural communities, businesses, residents, farmers and ranchers and improve the quality of life in rural America.

January 15th, 2014 | Ann
I love, love, love Mandi Johnson, the photographer we used for Lena's newborn photos. Through Friday, she is running a contest for 2013 clients to win a discounted session for 2014.
As you know, I was hospitalized for complications with my c-section and a major infection after Lena's birth and wasn't able to be there during her newborn photos. Not only did it break my heart to not see the photos be taken, but Jay and I don't have any professional photos of the 3 of us.
Can you please help me win a session in 2014 to take our first professional family photos? There are 2 ways to enter….
1. Click on this Facebook link (click here!) and click "Like" on the photo.
- Extra Entry: go to Mandi's Facebook page and click "Like" on her page. Then comment on Lena's photo to say you clicked "Like" on Mandi's page. As long as you did, it counts as another entry! (If you click "Like" on her page, all of Mandi's adorable photos show up in your feed… it's totally a mood-booster!)
2. Click over to Mandi's blog and leave a comment saying you'd like "Lena #7″ to win – this is separate than the Facebook "Like"s and will also count as votes towards us getting a session in 2014! Click Here!
Thank you for helping us – by liking the photo on Facebook and leaving a comment on her blog. I'll post some more of Lena's newborn photos and the birth announcement next week!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Plugging Rebirth on a recent morning show, Jennifer Lopez, accompanied by her usual caravan of dancers and musicians, rolled out a medley of her hits. These were the songs you either adore or loathe, the ones that pop up on nearly every NOW! or Totally Hits compilation: ''Love Don't Cost a Thing,'' ''I'm Real,'' and, buried amidst it all, a sliver of one of her first singles, ''Waiting for Tonight.'' It was effective, but perhaps not in the way Lopez intended. Leading into songs from Rebirth, the performance was a reminder of what a fine (if Madonna-lite) track ''Waiting for Tonight'' was and how her music has rarely lived up to the potential of that song.
Thanks to her incessant selfpromotion, we all know Lopez as actress, singer, clothing and sun-glasses designer, and perfumer. This wide-spectrum branding has done wonders for her portfolio but little for her music, especially on the albums following her multiplatinum-selling 1999 debut, On the 6 (home to ''Waiting for Tonight''). With each successive disc, she relentlessly strove to be all things to all people. To help her cross over to hip-hop radio, she brought in one rapper after another, making for a series of awkward. tacked-together singles. (Such cross-demographic marketing plus the way her limited vocal and dancing chops were creatively disguised with backup singers and hoofers and quickcut videos is her lasting legacy.) When she attempted ballads for the desperate-housewives crowd, she only exposed her spaghetti-thin pipes.
Starting with its title, Rebirth aims to return Lopez to her pre-J. Logo roots. Some of the On the 6 hired guns reappear, along with big-buck producers Timbaland and Rodney Jerkins. But though Lopez has wisely retreated from the ballads of This Is Me...Then (which gave us the dumb but undeniable ''Jenny From the Block,'' a genuine J. Lo guilty pleasure), something's still off.
Start with the single ''Get Right,'' which has the makings of a good track thanks to that squawking Maceo Parker sax sample but doesn't have much more to offer. The breathy valentines that dominate the disc pillow-talk banalities like ''Step Into My World'' and ''Ryde or Die'' are musically and vocally flimsy, lacking the force of great R&B. ''Cherry Pie'' is a knockoff of Prince's rock-guitar side but without the whimsy; ''I Got U'' wants to be retro-soul but doesn't approach a good Alicia Keys record. Again, Lopez recruits a rapper to concoct groan-inducing rhymes about how true she's been to her hood, yet even with Fat Joe pitching in, ''Hold You Down'' is as colorless as Lopez's voice.
There is one moment of genuine drama on Rebirth: ''(Can't Believe) This Is Me,'' produced by hubby Marc Anthony as if it were a show-stopper in a lavish Latin Broadway musical. (You can practically see the dry-ice fog as Lopez tackles the melody.) The song is a little hoary, but unlike most of what's around it, at least it makes an impression. One gets the sense from Rebirth that Lopez wants her music to be inoffensive and as easy to swallow as baby food, all the better to reach as wide a consumer base as possible. Too bad, since somewhere inside Jennifer Lopez Inc. is a dancing queen still waiting to break out, if only for tonight.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"These turned out fantastic. I didn't have an entree option so i had them put a song selection line instead. Turned out perfect."
"I was looking for a very modern, classy invitation. I stumbled upon this suite and it worked out great! The foil is pretty, the card stock is perfect. I wanted to make the back plain black and they were able to do it. Very accommodating and checks everything before it is printed."
"I was initially not sure if I should order my wedding invites online because I wasn't sure if they would turn out how I wanted them to. I decided to order anyway because these invites were so much cuter than the invites that fit into my budget at the local printing company. I ended up ordering the invite, RSVPs, and enclosure card from this set. (I ordered the ivory & black with gold foil.) The paper was much thicker than I had anticipated! The gold foil is gorgeous and looks expensive! I am also in love with the detailing on the back side of each piece! (Invite, rsvp, enclosure) I was also happy that envelopes were included with the invites and rsvps! I ended up ordering just the plain, free envelopes and added my own pink details! I ordered my invites back in December, and received them within a week and a half! They arrived an entire week earlier than the estimated delivery date! Overall, I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to anyone!"
"At first, we were skeptical with the quality of these gift tags, so we ordered a sample lot of 10 qty. We were impressed with the delivery time, the paper stock and quality of the print. Suffice to say, we ordered another lot of 110 qty with brace-cut corners. We have to say, these tags are gorgeous compliments to our wedding favors!"
"I changed the color and the saying after already submitting it. The review team changed the card to exactly what I wanted in one day and then mailed it out two days later. Excellent people every time I called. Really like wedding paper divas."

WRITING and COMMUNICATION PROGRAM
Our Mission
The mission of Georgia Tech`s Writing and Communication Program is to create a culture of communication across our extended campus. Our WOVEN approach to teaching and learning communication emphasizes creating and integrating ideas in multiple modes: Written, Oral, Visual, Electronic, and Nonverbal. We see communication as affecting the academic, professional, community, and personal lives of students, faculty, staff, and alumni, whether they are in classes or labs, offices or agencies, manufacturing or R&D facilities, hospitals, agribusinesses, or wilderness sites, across the US or around the world. Communication involves both individual and collaborative interaction, both face-to-face and distance interaction, and many kinds of media, both print and digital.
Program Elements
Fulfilling our mission means providing services related to all aspects of life at Georgia Tech.
- Undergraduate communication core: The core includes English 1101 and English 1102, with both regular sections and discipline-specific sections for each college at Georgia Tech.
- Undergraduate learning in communication: To facilitate communication in the disciplines and across the curriculum, we offer a WOVEN approach to
(1) courses on technical communication, including LMC 3401,
(2) additional communication courses in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC),
(3) LMC courses linked with courses in other departments, and
(4) communicating-to-learn strategies and activities embedded in disciplinary courses. - Graduate learning: CETL`s graduate communication courses are greatly sought after; the demand is greater than the resources available.
- Professional development for faculty: We provide faculty with three kinds of support related to communication:
(1) support to integrate communication into their curriculum/classes,
(2) support to strengthen their communication as teachers, and
(3) support to become better communicators in their own professional work. If you are interested in such faculty development, please contact Dr. Rebecca Burnett or Dr. Andrew Cooper. - Professional development for staff: We help Georgia Tech`s support and professional staff to achieve the standards of excellence necessary in their day-to-day contact with the student population, alumni, and the public. If you are interested in such staff development, please contact Dr. Rebecca Burnett or Dr. Andrew Cooper.
- Alumni support: Alumni frequently have questions and want help with communication after graduation, and we welcome their inquiries. Plans for the Writing and Communication Center include significant resources for alumni.
Use the menu at the left side of your screen to learn more about the Writing and Communication Program`s facilities, the people who make the program work, the committee that oversees the program`s operations and development, and the program`s dedication to assessment that helps us gauge how well we are accomplishing our mission.

Opposition that a material or electrical circuit offers to the flow of electric current. It is the property of a circuit that transforms electrical energy into heat energy as it opposes the flow of current. The resistance R, the electromotive force or voltage V, and the current I are related by Ohm's law. The resistance of an electrical conductor generally increases with increasing temperature and is utilized in devices such as lamps and heaters. The ohm () is the common unit of electrical resistance; one ohm is equal to one volt (see electromotive force) per ampere.

A majority of the Fairfax Town Council has decided to dump a controversial zoning ordinance that paved the way for creation of 124 new housing units in town.
The council voted 3-2 to direct town staff to begin the process of repealing the ordinance, said Fairfax Town Manager Garrett Toy.
A group of Fairfax residents gathered more than 1,000 signatures to put a referendum on the ballot to force the council to repeal the ordinance. Fairfax's town clerk ruled, however, that the signatures were not gathered in compliance with state law, and this week the signature gatherers appealed to a Marin Superior Court judge to overturn that decision.
Former Fairfax councilman Frank Egger, one of the leaders of the petition drive, said, "I think it's a smart move for the Town Council. They totally underestimated the Fairfax community and how it responds to growth issues. Hopefully, this may be a step towards resolving this."
Council members Larry Bragman, John Reed and Barbara Coler voted to repeal; council members David Weinsoff and Renee Goddard cast dissenting votes.
The ordinance was adopted March 5 on a 3-1-1 vote. At that time, Bragman cast the dissenting vote, while Coler did not vote due to a potential conflict of interest involving property she owns.
Toy said, "Barbara had previously recused herself, but now she has a letter from the Fair Political Practices Commission that indicates she doesn't have a conflict."
Goddard said she would have supported repealing a section of the ordinance that contained some errors; but she couldn't support going back to the drawing board. Goddard said the ordinance was the product of 14 years of work.
"I really believe that due process was done," Goddard said. "I did not feel any justification for pulling the entire thing for review."
Toy said in order to repeal the ordinance the town will have to go through the process of adopting a new ordinance. The first step will be a public hearing before the town's Planning Commission.
The ordinance implements zoning changes necessary to bring the town into compliance with state housing law. Every county and municipality in California is required to design its zoning laws so as to encourage the creation of a certain number of housing units every seven years.
The areas affected by the rezoning are:
53 units in the second stories of buildings throughout the downtown.
A minimum of 20 units per acre on 2 acres at the Christ Lutheran Church property on the west end of town.
22 units at the site of the former Mandarin Garden restaurant at 10 Olema Road.
9 units at School Street Plaza.
If Fairfax fails to meet the state mandate to foster housing creation, it could lose a $300,000 state grant to make improvements in its downtown Parkade. The grant is contingent on Fairfax conforming with the state housing mandate.
"There is always a risk," Toy said. "I don't know where the process is going to take us."
But Toy remains optimistic that town residents will be able to agree on an alternative plan for meeting its housing goals.
"We may end up in the same place," he said.

Horsemanship begins with observation. It is a two way street for you and the horse. You observe how he moves, how he learns and in turn, he will observe how you move and what your intentions are.
Understanding the personality is the only way to truly bond. In understanding, you learn what motivates or comforts your horse. From the beginning, understanding the emotional side of your horse, getting to the safe and perfect ride is so much more enjoyable. Learning how to present yourself to your horse in a clear but non confrontational manner is the goal to a wonderful partnership
It is Communication and Confidence that brings about Curiosity which gives you Control

Scattered Shots: Cataclysm beta info on BM and hunter pets {WoW}
Jul 5th 2010 12:40PM most important questions STILL werent answered. do pets with special abilities now, like devilsaurs ferocious bite be taken away for a lame raid buff? will the pet talent trees remain????
wasps sting being removed for a lame raid buff?
i think the coolness factor will be completely negated if your pets lose out on their cool racial abilities they have now(and talent trees), like devilsaurs ferocious bite. personally id want ferocious bite on a devilsaur then a weaker mangle or anything like that.
what about pet talent trees? imn reading they attacks will do the same damage, what about the talent trees.
Twitter Time: What Cataclysm info do you want? {WoW}
Apr 19th 2010 10:57PM id love to see more info on the hunter pet situation as in if talent trees are vanishing for them, or if any type of pet can chose any of the 3 trees. also if the lesser raid buffs pets will be brining are replacing the current skills they racially have.

OTC dental students head to Nicaragua
OTC dental students head to Nicaragua
Monday, March 04, 2013
College Director of Communications
417.447.2655 email@example.com Koehler
Coordinator of Publications (417) 447-2666 firstname.lastname@example.com dental students are getting an intense lesson in providing patient care this week as they treat hundreds of poor villagers in a small Nicaraguan village.
Six dental students and four dental program alumni, along with several faculty members and other supporters are in Nicaragua this week as part of dental mission trip organized by Rebecca Caceras, OTC's dental hygiene program director.
The students and support staff are expected to treat 500 residents who live in a rural area of the country and who either don't have access to dental treatment or can't afford it. The residents will not be charged for the services.
"Dental care is not a high priority for those living there. They don't have the money. It's more about buying beans and rice to eat. Healthcare is a low priority," Caceras said.
The group will bring two Nicaraguan dentists and one physician on the trip to assist with some of the care given. The group expects to treat about 100 a day for five days before returning home this weekend.
Caceras is familiar with the plight of the people in the area the group will visit. She did missionary work there for four years before joining the OTC staff and met her husband, Jose, there where he worked as a dentist.
All of those going on the trip are paying their own way with money raised through donations and fundraisers.
"The students will receive some cultural awareness and a better understanding of providing dental care and health care in a new environment. It will be triage dentistry in someone's home. We will also work in churches and community buildings," she said.
Two dental hygiene students who are going on the trip said they were looking forward to the trip that will take them out of the country for the first time.
"It's my first dental mission and I think it will be a great learning experience seeing 500 people as well as my first time out of the country," said Emily Swyder, a first year student.
Tiffany Smith said she's always wanted to take a mission trip.
"I know I will learn a lot in addition to providing dental help to a lot of people who don't have an opportunity to get it on a regular basis," she said.
Steve Koehler is coordinator of media relations for Ozarks Technical Community College.

PTC-filmed 'Drop Dead Diva' comes back to life
The Lifetime television network has renewed the Peachtree City-filmed "Drop Dead Diva" for a fifth season.
The show was rescued after Lifetime first indicated last month that it would not be renewing the show.
Preproduction is slated to begin around spring break and shooting is expected to begin in early April, according to Matt Forshee of the Fayette County Development Authority.
It is also possible that the production will attempt to film two seasons' worth of episodes back to back, Forshee said, noting that the production helped open the door for the recent announcement that Pinewood Studios from London will build its first soundstages in the United States here in rural Fayette County.
"We are excited about it, and it certainly just continues to add to Fayette County and Peachtree City being a home for film and TV efforts in metro Atlanta," Forshee said. "And certainly this is where we got our start leading into the Pinewood opportunity," Forshee said.
"Drop Dead Diva" will continue to be filmed in a studio contained in a large hangar at Falcon Field Airport though the production will also film off-site as well.
Some local fans of the show have been fortunate to serve as extras on the set, as the show has developed a following that has made it one of Lifetime's top hits.
The hour-long comedy/drama focuses on a plus-size attorney whose body becomes inhabited by the soul of a former wannabe model.
The show has pulled on a lengthy list of guest stars over its first few seasons ranging from Delta Burke and Wanda Sykes to Clay Aiken and even the former "Dr. Johnny Fever" from WKRP in Cincinnati: Howard Hesseman.
coming up on Jan. 4th.
Guess the demand for overweight, greying middle aged boomers just isn't Hollywood enough for the Diva set. Someday they will just come knocking on our doors and we'll show 'em what Hollywood is all about...some day..:)
bubble that just popped?
Along with a button or two. Hey, every day them Hollywooders wait, my price goes up..about a buck or two I reckon. That'll teach 'em!
according to Bill Marinella Casting facebook page.
For filming to be done here in PTC again.
Says $100. for a 12 hour day. (Core works 3 days an episode)
Only if you are a "Beautiful Hollywood look".
3 upcoming casting calls.
Hooray for Hollywood.
Makes me want to run down and show my pretty face.
Hopefully with competition coming soon, the wanna-be actor/housewife can make a whopping $10 hr
This is supply and demand driving this. There are a lot of people who want to be on TV or get their big chance so I imagine that some people would do it for nothing.
I bet Bill would fork over, easy, $9.00/hr. for you. :)
For me, he'd make me pay him.

We have a large philodendron, at least we think that's what it is. It looks like a Xanadu, that type of leaf, however, the leaves on this thing are huge! The whole plant has gotten quite large for the space it's in (it may be as old as 30 years old). It's right at the back corner of the house and is blocking access to the side of the house. We'd like to transplant it and would like information on how to do that. We live in north San Diego county, our soil is terrible, hard, crumbly. We're spraying insecticide right now to control fleas. It's totally open and exposed to all day sunlight and right now is extremely dry. We're not sure where we're going to put it, but it would be a shame to just throw it away. Thanks for your help! |

The quiet, sheltered waters of the Great Sandy Strait provide the ideal conditions for sailing, fishing or simply relaxing along the water's edge.
Comprising of a cluster of islands and sand bars between Fraser Island and the mainland coast, it is the summer breeding ground for more than 45,000 rare shorebirds that migrate from as far away as Siberia. Dugongs, turtles and dolphins also inhabit the tranquil waterways, while mangroves, seagrass pastures and wildflowers are among the region's unique flora.
Small fishing villages dot the western shores of the strait, including Boonooroo, Tuan, Maaroom, Tinnanbar and Poona. Many have camping grounds and boat ramps so you can explore them at your own pace, or take your boat, pitch a tent and use them as a quiet base to see the rest of the Fraser Coast.

Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is a condition in which the heart cant pump enough blood to meet the bodys needs.
The condition afflicts about 5.7 million people in the United States and kills about 300,000 every year.
Breast cancer gets much more attention, but heart disease kills eight times as many women annually about 329,000 vs. 41,000.
Women account for about six in ten of the annual deaths attributed to heart failure in the U.S. a total of about 162,000 heart-failure-related deaths among women.
It usually occurs after menopause, and rates rise sharply among women (and men) after age 65.
Heart failure is usually caused by coronary heart disease (CHD), high blood pressure, and/or diabetes, any of which can weaken the hearts pumping action over time.
And according to new findings from the US and Sweden, eating omega-3-rich fatty fish twice a week may reduce a womans risk of heart failure by 30 percent.
Last year, the Swedish-Americanresearch team behind todays report published an analysis of health and diet data from 39,367 Swedish men aged 45 to 79.
That analysis indicated that higher intakes of omega-3-rich fatty fish reduced mens risk of heart failure by one-third (See Fatty Fish May Cut Men's Heart-Failure Risk).
Lets take a look at the results of the new analysis, which involved Swedish women.
Analysis links fatty fish to lower heart failure risk in women
For 18 years, researchers followed 36,234 women participating in the Swedish Mammography Cohort study (Levitan EB et al. 2010).
The women, aged between 48 and 83, reported their intakes of various foods though periodic surveys.
During the 18 year study, 651 cases of heart failure were documented.
Researchers from Harvard Medical School and Swedens Karolinska Institute joined forces to analyze data from the study.
Their analysis showed that eating one serving of fatty fish per week was associated with a 14 percent reduction in the risk of heart failure, compared with women who did not eat any fatty fish.
And it showed that eating two servings of fatty fish per week was associated with a 30 percent reduction in risk.
The researchers also estimated the womens omega-3 intake (based on the types of fish eaten), and found that the highest intakes of omega-3s were associated with a 25 percent reduction in risk.
As the researchers wrote, Moderate consumption of fatty fish (12 servings per week) and marine omega-3 fatty acids were associated with a lower rate of first heart failure hospitalization or death in this population (Levitan EB et al. 2010).
Being an epidemiological study, it cannot prove a cause-effect link between higher fish intake and lower risk of heart failure.
However, it seems rather unlikely that a clinical study anywhere near this size and length will ever be conducted... and we have considerable evidence that omega-3s exert physiological effects consistent with reduced risk of heart failure.
For more on the science underlying hope that omega-3s may help prevent or improve heart failure, see Fish Oil May Help Congestive Heart Failure Patients Fish Oil May Help Congestive Heart Failure Patients and Heart Failure Findings Favor Omega-3s over Statin Drug.

That is not a bromeliad. That is a Freycinetia, relative of Pandanus. They are often referred to as climbing pandanus due to their vine-like growth habit. That is the Freycinetia species that is native to the Hawaiian Islands, Freycinetia arborea. The Hawaiian name is leie. David |

A defending champion starting five seniors and facing a rebuilding team, on paper, shouldn't be much of a match.
Such was the case Tuesday night as Patrick Henry's girls basketball team opened the 2013-14 season, dismantling a rebuilding Maggie Walker Governor's School 51-8. The Patriots opened with a 20-0 run to seize control by the end of the first quarter.
"The up and down tempo of the first half was something we wanted to establish," Patriots head coach Phillip Cobb said. "We're definitely pleased with the outcome."
Summer Price scored six of her game-high 18 points in the first stanza, and Cobb liberally used his bench to get newcomers significant playing time in the first game. Briana Woody and Grayson Radcliffe each scored a basket, and Shea Burch played portions of the first three quarters before leaving the game after being poked in the eye.
India Coles scored all nine of her points in the opening quarter, and Amber Lee reached double figures with 12 points.
The Patriots start five seniors, a significant advantage in experience against opponents, but also fun according to forward Ashley Samuels.
"We've definitely grown through the years and learned how to play together, know each other's strengths and weaknesses," Samuels noted. "I think this is going to be a good season."
Samuels, Price, Lee, Coles, and Rachel Adams, who hit two treys in the second quarter, comprise the veteran starting lineup, who now next must step up significantly in competition Friday when they visit former Colonial District rival Deep Run.
"We take it one game at a time, so now our biggest game of the season is Deep Run," Cobb opined. "We're excited about the opportunity; I think it will be a great test to see where we are."
The Wildcats and Patriots split four memorable meetings last year, with Patrick Henry winning in the T-DIT Tournament last December and in the Colonial District Tournament Semifinal in February, while the Wildcats won both scheduled regular season encounters.
The nightcap of opening night hoops in Ashland saw the Patriots boys team struggle to find offensive rhythm, but holding off a pesky fourth quarter run by Maggie Walker for a 47-40 victory.
Lucas Pienkowski, who did not play in the first quarter, led Patrick Henry with 19 points, 10 of which helped the Patriots take a 37-27 halftime lead.
But both teams went cold after intermission, and Patrick Henry's offense, in the final frame, seemed very timid, exposing an early-season concern for head coach Randy Anderson: finding players willing to take the outside shot at crunch time.
Sophomore newcomers Jamal Foy and James Pinder each had eight points in their varsity debuts. Patrick Henry next plays at Deep Run Friday after the girls game at 7:30 p.m.

From outdoor concerts to water sports, picnic grounds to volleyball courts, Galveston beaches offer endless entertainment no matter your age. When choosing a beach in Galveston, there are a few factors to consider. Some beaches are better for families, some beaches offer more water sports, and others are perfect in their isolation.
East Beach
Of all Galveston beaches, East Beach is the biggest. This spot is known for its beach parties, outdoor concerts, and lively atmosphere. There are definitely other beaches in Galveston that are more family friendly than East Beach; here bikini contests and live bands are common occurrences.
Galveston Island State Park
If you like your beaches more on the quiet side, one beach in Galveston to choose is the Galveston Island State Park. Located on the west end of the island, this protected beach offers a great environment for kicking back and relaxing. Many locals and frequent visitors would consider this to be one of the most romantic options for beaches in Galveston.
Stewart Beach
Of all the beaches in Galveston, Stewart Beach is known as the best option for families. Here you will find plenty of entertainment for the kids, especially during the summer months, such as sand castle building competitions and volleyball tournaments. If you're looking for a beach where your kids can meet some playmates, Stewart Beach is the best choice.
Sea Shell Beach
With one of the most appealing names on the island, Sea Shell Beach also offers 10 miles of spectacular sand. This beach in Galveston offers restrooms, outdoor showers, and rentals for beach chairs and umbrellas.
Palm Beach at Moody Gardens
If your idea of the perfect beach is one surrounded by waterfalls and lush landscaping, you'll want to visit Palm Beach at Moody Gardens. Here you can swim in fresh water lagoons and soak up the sun in the sugary sand.
Vacation Rentals and More Beach Options
Every visitor has his or her own favorite Galveston beach. For some, it is the beach that is a few steps away from the door of their oceanfront vacation rental. This is one of the biggest benefits of choosing Galveston vacation rentals; close access to the simple pleasures of the beach (along with incredible views). Adventurous visitors to Galveston choose to rent a car and explore beaches up and down the island including Sea Gull Shores Beach and Sand Castle Beach. The truth is besides researching the general atmosphere of each beach, another important factor is the season you travel to Galveston beaches. During the off season, most of the beaches will have that serene environment you crave.
While dining, annual events, and water sports are all wonderful aspects of Galveston, the beaches themselves are still the most significant draw. As the breeze blows off the Gulf of Mexico, you'll feel as if you found your own little slice of paradise.

Team GhostShell returned late Monday with Project WestWind: a leak of 120,000 records from 100 major universities around the world.
Team GhostShell is the hacking group behind Project Hellfire, which launched in August this year. Project Hellfire lifted 1 million accounts from 100 websites around the world, compromising data from the CIA and from Wall Street.
The hacked data leaked in Project WestWind does indeed appear to come from a who's who of major learning institutions. They include Harvard, Cambridge, Princeton, Tokyo University, Cornell and New York University.
In their Pastebin announcement, Team GhostShell said Project WestWind was a serious effort to jump-start a dialogue on the state of higher education today. Apparently this hack wasn't pranksterism for the lulz, but hacktivism for the greater good:
We wanted to bring to your attention different examples from Europe, how the laws change so often that even the teachers have a hard time adjusting to them, let alone, the students, to the US, where tuition fees have spiked up so much that by the time you finish any sort of degree, you will be in more debt than you can handle and with no certainty that you will get a job, to Asia, where strict & limited teachings still persist and never seem to catch up with the times and most of the time fail to prep you up for a world where foreign affairs are crucial in this day and age.
The hackers ask that others use the information as a conversation starter, team member DeadMellox writing:
You don't have to talk about it with us, what's important is that you bring up the subject 'today's education' in day-to-day conversations with your family, friends, people close to you and try to understand the system better, together. How it works, how a certain type of diploma can or cannot help you in your road to the career you want to pursue.
Though Team GhostShell's data dump contains user screen names and mostly hashed passwords (Betabeat examined one file in which some of the passwords were apparently cracked), they claim they've kept the leaked records to a minimum.
Team GhostShell issued a warning to the targeted institutions regarding the states of their networks: "When we got there, we found out that a lot of them have malware injected. No surprise there since some have credit card information stored."
Betabeat has reached out to a web network administrator at one of the hacked universities for comment and will update this post if we receive a response.
