Orthophoto creation (conventional or digital) refers to the Differential Rectification of aerial images based on a terrain model. Ideally, a digital orthophoto is produced in a fully digital environment. At IMT, the images are scanned and all photogrammetric, cartographic, and reproduction sub-processes are handled in the digital domain within a single software environment.
Digital orthophoto, when integrated into IMT's aerial triangulation, digital mapping processes, or as a stand-alone project using client-supplied data, is a nominal cost by-product.
IMT has simplified and automated the production of digital orthophotos as far as current technology allows. And while the promise of a no-cost push button solution is there, the reality is a seamless high quality, highly accurate orthophoto still requires the manual adjustment and inspection of seam lines. IMT's experience and quality assurance process adds value to the limitations in automation, which can never replace the human eye or mind in the QA process.
Digital files on DVD, CD-ROM, USB2 hard drives as well as FTP are some of the media IMT employs for the delivery of data to our clients.

Although the summer of 2010 was one of the hottest on record and widely publicized for the wake of destruction in the turf industry, it looks as though we've jumped out of the oven and right into the fire in 2011. Popular phrases that include 'the perfect storm', 'equal opportunity destroyer', and 'turf loss of epic proportions' are being bantered about once again, as Mother Nature turns up the heat and tries to roast the cool-season turfgrasses found on many golf courses beyond well done.
Managing turf during June and July in the upper Mid-Continent Region has been anything but easy, given the persistent heat wave. For much of Kansas and Missouri, nearly every other day during the past nine weeks has exceeded 100°F, and nighttime lows have rarely dropped below 80°F. Even though it is hard to imagine, 2011 may surpass 2010 for record heat. Some superintendents are already stretched, as this summer has dealt them an even worse set of circumstances. August conditions may leave some to wonder how they will have any turf to manage as putting green soil temperatures may continue to exceed 90 degrees.
Somewhat surprisingly, education and communication efforts that were effective last year are not providing the same understanding ears this year. Course officials and golfers seem to be less receptive to the news about heat stress. This is a good time to revisit some fundamental principles of turf management:
To survive the heat and maintain turf health until the fire is extinguished with the onset of cooler temperatures, some of the most effective strategies include:
Cool-season turfgrasses are in a fragile state, and superintendents and their staffs are feeling the effects of long hours and touch-and-go conditions. Now is the time to support them as they work to maintain the turf. Expectations for exceptional playability simply must be put on hold until temperatures cool off…and hopefully that is soon.
If you would like more information about a Turf Advisory Service visit, contact either of the Mid-Continent regional offices: Ty McClellan at email@example.com or (630) 340-5853 or Bud White at firstname.lastname@example.com or (972) 662-1138.

Now weakened by the verdict of voters, he is almost certain to need centrist partners for a stable coalition and may perhaps offer more flexibility toward the Palestinians, although few expect any breakthrough in the coming months.
Israeli shares traded higher after the election, with the blue-chip Tel Aviv index up 1.5 percent at 1030 GMT, while the shekel held steady against the dollar, showing markets were unfazed by fears of prolonged coalition talks.
Amram Mitzna, a senior member of former Prime Minister Tzipi Livni's centrist Hatnua party, told Army Radio the election had "arrested the rightward drift of Israeli society" and urged Netanyahu to heed to message delivered by voters.
He even mooted an unlikely "dream government" in which Likud would forge a strong coalition with leftist and centrist parties, excluding far-right and religious factions.
Lapid won support amongst middle-class, secular voters by promising to resolve a growing housing shortage, abolish military draft exemptions for Jewish seminary students and seek an overhaul of the much-criticised education system.
He urged Netanyahu "to build as broad a government as possible so that we can bring about real change in Israel".
Naftali Bennett, high-tech millionaire son of American immigrants who leads the hard-right, pro-settler Jewish Home party, remained a likely coalition partner despite making a poorer election showing than opinion polls had predicted.
Bennett, who advocates annexing West Bank land to Israel, told cheering supporters: "There is only one truth and it is simple. The land of Israel belongs to the people of Israel."
U.S.-brokered peace talks broke down in 2010 amid mutual acrimony. Since then Israel has accelerated construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem - land the Palestinians want for their future state - much to the anger of Western partners.
Aaron David Miller, once a senior U.S. adviser on Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking, said a weakening of the right might improve Netanyahu's relations with Obama.
"The fact is, if (Netanyahu) goes with Lapid and he reaches out to the centre, you're going to end up with an American-Israeli rapprochement to a certain degree," Miller told CNN.
Tuesday's vote was the first in Israel since Arab uprisings swept the region two years ago, reshaping the Middle East.
Netanyahu has said the turbulence, which has brought Islamists to power in neighbouring Egypt and elsewhere, shows the importance of strengthening national security.
Foreign policy issues barely registered during the election campaign. The next government, which is unlikely to take power for weeks, will have to tackle the stuttering economy and a budget deficit that presages spending cuts and tax hikes.

Deadline nears for Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program
POSTED: Sunday, September 8, 2013 - 4:00pm
UPDATED: Sunday, September 8, 2013 - 4:04pm
BATON ROUGE, LA — The September 30 deadline is nearing for the expenditure of $400,000 in funds for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, according to City-Parish Director of Human Development and Services Paula Roddy.
Roddy said the program allows income-eligible persons living in East Baton Rouge Parish to have their energy bills paid directly to their energy provider.
The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program provides utility payments to Entergy and other energy vendors on behalf of eligible East Baton Rouge Parish residents. Eligibility for assistance is limited to one payment in a six month period, contingent upon availability of funds. Eligible individuals must meet income guidelines.
In addition, there is a Crisis Assistance component of the LIHEAP program that is designed to help income-eligible households who have received disconnection notices and are in jeopardy of having their power shut off due to lack of payment.
Roddy said applications are being taken on a first-come, first-serve basis, adding that the Office of Social Services will process applications until all funds are exhausted.
Any customer who has received a LIHEAP service (Non-Crisis or Crisis) in the last six months is not eligible, Roddy said.
Applications will be taken Monday thru Wednesday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m., and on Thursday from 8 a.m. until 12 p.m. noon at the respective application sites listed below.
In addition, through September 30, 2013, applications will also be processed at the OSS main office at 4523 Plank Road during special evening hours, from 5 until 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday.

Phillipsburg comes up short against defending 3A champion
By AUSTIN COLBERT
PHILLIPSBURG -- Facing a fourth-and-goal from the Scott City 2-yard line trailing by a field goal early in the fourth quarter, Phillipsburg High School football coach J.B. Covington decided to keep his offense on the field.
The Panthers tried an option to the left side, and quarterback Riley Juenemann pitched the ball to halfback Grant Wickham, who was then tackled for a 4-yard loss, resulting in the turnover on downs.
That play summed up the majority of the night for Phillipsburg, which fell 24-21 to defending Class 3A state champion Scott City on Saturday in the second round of the Class 3A playoffs.
"What we had seen on tape, everyone was pretty successful running option on them," Covington said. "They were just coming and making us pitch the ball early. They were getting people to the ball after we made the pitch and it was a tough get and a good read on who our reads were."
Scott City (10-1) led 7-0 after each team had a possession, the result of a 1-yard TD run by Martin Gough. Phillipsburg (9-2) responded with a quick drive and a 19-yard TD pass from Juenemann to Hunter Kohler. It ended up being Juenemann's only completion of the game.
A 31-yard field goal by Scott City's Tre Stewart gave the Beavers the lead back at 10-7 midway through the second quarter. Phillipsburg could never get anything going on offense, and Scott City got the ball back with 32 seconds remaining in the quarter at the Phillipsburg 46-yard line.
It took the Beavers three plays to cover the distance, and Scott City quarterback Trey O'Neil connected with Chris Pounds on a 21-yard TD with 15 seconds to play.
Scott City led 16-7 at halftime.
"We felt like we had a better first half, but with them being so explosive we knew it definitely wasn't over," Scott City coach Glenn O'Neil said. "You are afraid on every play. They have a chance to go the distance and they did on a couple of them."
Phillipsburg opened the second half by forcing a Scott City punt, then made its biggest play of the game when Wickham broke a few tackles at the line of scrimmage and burst free for a 91-yard TD run to make it 16-14.
Scott City answered quickly, scoring on third-and-11 with a 35-yard TD pass from O'Neil to Brayden Strine, pushing the Beavers' lead to 24-14 midway through the third quarter.
Then Wickham did it again, this time scoring from 62-yards out to cut the Panther deficit to 24-21. Wickham finished with 170 yards on nine carries.
"We felt like going into the half, even though we were down a little bit, we still had a chance," Covington said. "And Grant popped a couple and the guys were getting it done up front at the point of attack. That paid off."
Momentum was completely on the Panthers' side after Michael Dusin intercepted an O'Neil pass and returned it down to the Scott City 5-yard line. But for runs plays, the final an option to Wickham that netted a 4-yard loss, and Phillipsburg came away without any points.
The Panthers had more chances down the stretch, but a pair of interceptions by Juenemann late in the quarter would lead to the loss and the end of the Phillipsburg season.
"It's a tough one to lose," Covington said. "There is only one team out of 64 that comes out completely happy. I'm extremely proud of this group of kids and how all 37 of them came together to make a team. They are good football players and a great bunch of kids."

LPN Salary in Arkansas - Examples of an Average LPN Salary in ArkansasChoosing a career in the healthcare industry is a very popular choice for people living in Arkansas. There is a huge demand for individuals who have the knowledge and expertise to work in the healthcare industry. One of the most popular choices for people looking to enter the healthcare industry is for people to consider becoming an LPN, or licensed practical nurse. Becoming an LPN is a popular choice because the starting LPN salary in Arkansas is fairly high, the training required to become one is fairly quick, and it opens the door for the possibility to perform other jobs. The starting LPN salary in Arkansas is right along with the national average for LPNs in the United States. The average salary of an LPN in Arkansas is $47,000, with the national average being right around $49,000. LPNs who work in a generalized healthcare setting like a general practitioner's office or in a regular hospital setting may earn less than the state's average salary. LPNs who work in a general healthcare setting will earn around $38,000. That figure will vary slightly depending upon what shift is worked, how long an individual has worked at a specific healthcare center, and where they went to school. LPNs who work in what the healthcare industry considers "high stress" environments may earn more than the average LPN salary in Arkansas. High stress environments are defined as intensive care units, urgent care centers. The average salary for LPNs who work in these types of environments is $52,000. Healthcare centers and hospitals will typically pay more for LPNs to work in these environments because of the high stress environment, and the LPNs will need to have more experience and knowledge than the average starting LPN. In addition to the higher salary, these high stress environments also pay more for people who work on night shift. Working in a specialized area in the healthcare industry can also help people who wish to become an LPN earn more. The average LPN salary in Arkansas for someone who works in a specialized area of the healthcare industry is between $60,000-70,000. Specialized areas of the healthcare industry often pay more because they require LPNs who have extensive experience and knowledge in that particular area of the healthcare industry. Specialized areas in the healthcare industry can be working with the elderly in a geriatric unit, or with newborns and children in the pediatric unit. What is the average pay for LPN in Arkansas?The LPN pay scale varies per state throughout the United States. LPN pay scale may also vary by employer. An individual's compensation may also vary based on work experience. Arkansas LPN SalariesArkansas LPNs earn an average of $33,300 per year. Some LPNs in Arkansas earn up to $42,540 per year or more. Arkansas LPN Hourly WageIn 2008, the average hourly earnings of Arkansas LPNs was $16.01. In some cases, LPNs in Arkansas earned up to $20.45 per hour or more. |

South America Geography Games | ||
South America Games & Videos | ||
Learning social studies can include a wide range of topics. One of those topics is learning about the continents.Kids love to learn about South America with great online flash games and activities! They can learn more about the Americas with The Americas Pick One and The Americas Match It. They can unscramble geography terms related to South America. They can put together jigsaw puzzles of South American animals to see what they look like, including the Andean condor and the piranha. Then they can play "Speedy Speller" to see if they can beat the high score. When learning about the subject of individual continents, there will be new social studies vocabulary to learn. These games can increase vocabulary retention and help with learning spelling lists. Other spelling games include word search games, hangmouse games ("mousy" versions of hangman), letterfall games, and printable spelling worksheets. When they need a break from geography, they can try some animal games or maybe even some vocabulary games. There is always plenty to learn, and learning can be a lot of fun with videos, songs, and cool flash games. Elementary school, middle school, and even high school teachers can incorporate these games and activities into their classroom or homeschool lessons for interesting and fun experiences for kids. English-speaking as well as ESL (English as a Second Language) students can improve their skills and learn more about South America with online flash games and online lessons. And kids can have more fun while learning! | ||

Hollywood supercouple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie gave a California shop owner his very own Christmas miracle - by boosting the struggling stores sales after visiting the premises and leaving an enormous tip.
The owner of a North Hollywood toy and flower shop - aptly named The Blessing - couldn't believe his luck when the famous pair strolled in to buy gifts for their multi-cultural brood - Maddox, six, Pax, three, Zahara, two, and biological daughter, 17-month-old Shiloh.
The couple posed for pictures with the store owner's family and bought $70 worth of items - then gave him a generous $130 tip.
Ever since their almighty visit, the owner tells TMZ.com that business is booming.

In pre-draft mode, if you have an odd number of teams, it shows you a schedule and that schedule involves teams having byes. However, if it comes to be draft time and you still have an odd number of teams, your league will not draft, so you can't actually have a schedule like that. Note there are also warnings on your league home telling you that you can't draft/proceed with an odd number of teams.Not sure why the schedule module on the league home does that. Probably an old historical thing that is low on the priority list to fix.

We loved them!!! Ours is served with fresh peaches and whipping cream!!! It's like a ginger cookie... yummm! Comment submitted: 6/14/2011 (#12795) From TinyDancer2oo8 (Team Breakfast Member)
I really wanted this recipe to be good, but it tasted like molasses, not gingerbread, and I didn't even use the whole 1/2 cup called for. Way too cloyingly sweet, none of the spice came through. Comment submitted: 10/3/2009 (#8787) From katydid
Fantastic recipe! We used butter and powdered sugar for a topping (maple syrup competes too much). Comment submitted: 6/14/2009 (#8277) From idara (Team Breakfast Member)

I'm watching this video with tears pouring down my face and I don't know why. Nostalgia I guess. This was the third Tokio Hotel MV I ever saw (1000 Meere and 1000 Oceans were my first two) and it was here that I fell in love with them.
These four are my everything and whenever I need them their music and faces are By My Side. And in return I will be forever by theirs.

I like the accoustic version of WBMW. Bill voice stands out more when he sing accoustic. He has a very soft and angelic voice – not the kind that will make you cry in amazement, but the kind that will lull you to sleep. Somehow I like that kind of voice the most. Dunno why.

Online Manga: A Digital News Roundup — JManga.Com, VizManga.Com, Guild's First Release
Posted in Digital and Webcomics, Manga News on August 14, 2011 by JohannaThe Digital Manga Guild Releases Its First Title
The Digital Manga Guild, a publishing effort that asks fans to translate and edit books for free in return for a profit percentage, is ready to release its first title. Going live tomorrow evening at emanga.com will be Tired of Waiting for Love, a yazuka yaoi by Saki Aida and Yugi Yamada.
Although the DMG is set up to work with three-person teams — translator, editor, and letterer — all the work on this volume was done by Kimiko Kotani (a pseudonym). Brigit Alverson interviewed her at Publishers Weekly, in a piece that contains this disturbing quote:
Sasahara estimates that only 30% of the 1,300 people who signed up for the Digital Manga Guild passed the test and were qualified to do the work. "Some are serious-minded and some are just checking in," he said. "We are not particularly happy about some people who are overly cautious about legal issues in the contract and we usually prioritize those who just want to do it and see how it goes."
So being concerned about your rights during this experiment is less likely to get you work? The company would rather work with those who just take whatever they're given, legally, instead of those who are "cautious"? Now I know why the company was being so adamant about the conditions being confidential and continually telling participants not to discuss the contracts. I am much more curious now about just what's in them.
It also remains to be seen how much "Hollywood accounting" is being used in determining "profit". What expenses, if any, are deducted from income in these hundreds of books to come? And will anyone buy them — or rather, rent them, since they're streamed from their server?
I do hope that this isn't just a "by us/for us" kind of effort, where the only customers are those working on the books. (Much the same way in how almost everyone who buys superhero comics wants to make them.) It remains to be seen how much marketing Digital Manga will do for these books, and how they plan to make customers aware that they're now available.
Update: DMG has sent out a press release promoting this first title, in which they say most DMG titles, including Tired of Waiting for Love, will be priced at $6.95. That's an increase over their typical online price of $4.99, with various other Yaoi titles only $3.50. They've also age-gated the book, so that users have to state they're over 18 to read it.
Deb Aoki has reviewed the title, calling the story unremarkable and predictable, but also noting that the "translation and retouching [are] as good as other DMP releases".
What Will JManga Be?
I try to avoid reporting on announcements of things that don't yet exist, because the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and there's a certain amount of uncertainty involved when things are planned. They might not work out in practice.
For that reason, I was glad to see Brigid Alverson at Robot 6 being somewhat cautious about JManga.com. That website is supposed to be an online portal of manga translated to English sponsored by 39 Japanese publishers, but there's a remarkable lack of information about which titles will be included and how much access will cost (although we've been told it will vary from publisher to publisher). There's also a question about how this will affect existing manga websites (such as the one I discuss below).
On the positive side, the decision-makers appear to be flexible and willing to adjust as things proceed, but at times, they appear so open that it's uncertain when or if any material will be available. Lauch was mentioned as being due in mid-August, so it's getting close. However, beta users have been quoted as saying that "the content they've seen is very small ('a few dozen' titles) or unpublished by 'no-name artists'." The publishers wouldn't even confirm that the properties they were using to advertise the site would be included!
The concept, of a one-stop shop for online manga, is exactly what many digital users want, but so much depends on how well it's executed and how reasonable the pricing is. I'm concerned that the Japanese publishers will value their works too highly and be too suspicious of the American user (such as treating them like criminals, as the Square Enix site does) to make the site truly useful.
VizManga.Com Launched
I'm almost a month late on this one, but Viz finally expanded from its iPad app into online manga for all with the launch of VizManga.com. The site went live in late July with 40 series and 300 volumes of manga, according to promotional materials.
Standard pricing is $4.99 for a usual-sized volume, with bigger books going from $5.99 – $9.99. Most series have their first chapters available as a free preview. It's for American readers only, which is typical for these efforts but annoying to international users, and you have to be connected to read the books on the web. They're regularly adding new series and volumes, too, including most recently the first volume of Oishinbo and, in conjunction with their print releases, Ai Ore! 2 and The Story of Saiunkoku 4. That's a promising tactic I hope will continue — same-day print and digital release, or at least close-in-time-to-each-other.
Although they promoted the site at launch with the phrase "Read any of the manga that you've bought on the VIZ app on any web browser", they've since announced that Inuyasha (VizBig edition) 2 will be exclusive to their iPad app, which annoyed some users. The iOS apps also have the additional feature of allowing users to read manga without being online, as a function of how the application handles data.
I'd like to see them add a newsletter, so interested subscribers could get regular announcements of which new volumes have been added. I'd sign up.

The keyword to Sasahara's comment is "overly". Having been privy to to discussions by some who applied, via forums and what not, I can tell you OVERLY is a well chosen word. The terms of the contract are fair and clear cut, and match what was hammered out during teleconferences and online discussions with applicants.It is disappointing to see that many agreed verbally to terms, then balked once the time came to sign. Individuals who did this caused a lot of disruption to groups they had joined , making them have to re-organise and replace them. More concerning is that only 30% qualified, as there are many titles. With fewer numbers, the manga is slower coming out. As for the privacy issue, that is an industry standard. if you publicise the rates of pay and what not, competitors can tailor headhunting efforts to steal away your talents!

Nacogdoches Sheriff's office: Woden ISD threat is a hoax, criminal charges may be filed
POSTED: Monday, February 3, 2014 - 7:19am
UPDATED: Monday, February 3, 2014 - 7:26am
Nacogdoches, TX (KETK) — On Sunday night, authorities with the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's office received reports of a threat against Woden ISD made on a person's Facebook page.
The reports came in around 7:00 p.m. on Sunday night.
Details about the threat have not been released. However, after an investigation, authorities have determined that there is no danger for Woden ISD at this time.
The person responsible for making the threats has been identified, and officials say that it was nothing more than a "very serious hoax". Criminal charges may be filed once the investigation into the matter is complete.
Regardless, the Sheriff's office will have deputies on scene at Woden ISD on Monday, in order to give the students, parents and teachers some peace of mind.

Candida-associated denture stomatitis has a high rate of recurrence. Candida biofilms formed on denture acrylic are more resistant to antifungals than planktonic yeasts. Histatins, a family of basic peptides secreted by the major salivary glands in humans, especially histatin 5, possess significant antifungal properties. We examined antifungal activities of histatin 5 against planktonic or biofilm Candida albicans and Candida glabrata. Candida biofilms were developed on poly(methyl methacrylate) discs and treated with histatin 5 (0.01–100 μM) or fluconazole (1–200 μM). The metabolic activity of the biofilms was measured by the XTT reduction assay. The fungicidal activity of histatin 5 against planktonic Candida was tested by microdilution plate assay. Biofilm and planktonic C. albicans GDH18, UTR-14 and 6122/06 were highly susceptible to histatin 5, with 50% RMA (concentration of the agent causing 50% reduction in the metabolic activity; biofilm) of 4.6 ± 2.2, 6.9 ± 3.7 and 1.7 ± 1.5 μM, and IC50 (planktonic cells) of 3.0 ± 0.5, 2.6 ± 0.1 and 4.8 ± 0.5, respectively. Biofilms of C. glabrata GDH1407 and 6115/06 were less susceptible to histatin 5, with 50% RMA of 31.2 ± 4.8 and 62.5 ± 0.7 μM, respectively. Planktonic C. glabrata was insensitive to histatin 5 (IC50 > 100 μM). Biofilm-associated Candida was highly resistant to fluconazole in the range 1–200 μM; e.g. at 100 μM only ~20% inhibition was observed for C. albicans, and ~30% inhibition for C. glabrata. These results indicate that histatin 5 exhibits antifungal activity against biofilms of C. albicans and C. glabrata developed on denture acrylic. C. glabrata is significantly less sensitive to histatin 5 than C. albicans.

I spent an inordinate amount of time downloading all the new listings for the week of January 7 to 13. There were a total of 35 new SFR listings, the largest group since October. The bulk of these newbies were in Redwood City (24), with San Carlos (7) and Belmont (4) coming up a bit short. The sub-prime mess was always a threat to Redwood City, with its diverse population and wide range of neighborhoods and home prices, and I fear that it has hit our fair town.
Two things struck me this week:
(1) 14 or 40% of the new listings came out on 1/11, which was a Friday. Recently Redfin research published "The Real Estate Scientist," seven tactics for selling your home. Number Three on the list was to debut your home on a Friday. "According to a December 2007 analysis of Redfin's website traffic for 119,079 listings, homes that debut on the best day, Friday, get on average 7.7% more visitors in their first seven days than those that debut on the worst day, Thursday. " How did the other days in the week fare? Monday 5, Tuesday 0, Wednesday 5, Thursday 7, Saturday 3, Sunday 1.
(2) Pricing predominantly ended in 3 zeros, as in $985,000. Of the 35 listings, 29 or 83% had a listing price that ended in 000. Three ended in 999, and 1 each in 950, 888, and 500. I have always liked those round numbers and it looks like our sellers do, too.
Here are my favorite new listings of the week for each city:
1623 Notre Dame, 3/2, 1880 sf, $955,000 ($508/sf)
My aunt used to live on this street and I have always liked it. This home is on a 7700 sf lot with a view. I really liked the look of the master bedroom.
San Carlos:
62 Madera, 4/3, 2600 sf, $1,049,000 ($403/sf)
Everyone seems to love San Carlos and properties sell quickly in this town. This home is a larger 4/3, with two master suites and upgrades throughout. The only thing that was unappealing is the totally white kitchen, but that would be a minor issue in my estimation. This could very well be this week's bargain.
Redwood City:
1759 Edgewood Road, 5/2.5, 2640 sf, $1, 279,000 ($484/sf)
Buyers may tend to shy away from this address, as Edgewood is the feeder to Highway 280, but this home is set on a private lane off Edgewood. A 50-year-old custom home with glassed-in sun porch, set amongst the redwoods along a creek, would make me feel like I was out in the country.
