The Lebanon County Career and Technology Center (PA) dropped several courses due to lack of interest including graphic arts, computer-aided drafting, and Cisco basic networking. On the flip side?
The loss of the three courses could be offset by the addition of a new course: geospatial technologies, the science involving cartography and global-positioning system, or GPS. If the course is offered, the LCCTC would be the first vo-tech school in the state to offer it, Custer said.

Says the Hampton Roads Daily Press (Virginia)
GPS isn’t just for directions anymore. Hotels and resorts have come up with an assortment of uses for navigation devices.
The article goes on to note hotels/resorts that offer GPS for golf, GPS for runners, geocaching and GPS tracking of skiiers. The hotels didn’t come up with these ideas; others did! The “innovation” here is offering such things at hotels (which is not all that new either, I expect). More valuable for those in our sector, hotels/vacations often offer the chance to try out such devices such that purchases are made later.

Geography Professor Mark Homer of Florida State University and doctoral student Joni Downs will conduct a series of computational GIS-based experiments that simulate a hurricane striking selected cities in Florida. Homer received a $64,760 National Science Foundation grant to develop “new spatial map models to be used in disaster relief.” The models will suggest the distribution of relief goods and services based on hurricane severity and the availability of existing services and demand. Horner will compare the performance of the new approach to that using existing approaches.
