San Benito man accused of stealing thousands from Los Fresnos dentist

Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio said investigators arrested Francisco Hernandez-Limon on Wednesday on Rio Hondo Independent School District property. According to the district’s website, Hernandez-Limon worked as a bookkeeper. The allegations, however, stem from when Hernandez-Limon worked at Los Fresnos Family Dentistry. In June 2016, Lucio said that office’s owner contacted him to file a report about $48,000 that was missing from the books. Investigators later discovered a total of $308,000 that was missing and accuse Hernandez-Limon of stealing it through various methods. “He found different means to go ahead and take money,” Lucio said at a Thursday news conference. Hernandez-Limon took cash from Los Fresnos Family Dentistry, forged checks, used the company credit card to charge personal items and gave himself unauthorized bonuses, Lucio explained. “It didn’t happen overnight,” Lucio said of the allegations. As far as recovering the stolen money, Lucio said a court may ta...

Girl Scout makes scrapbooks for seniors

She watched her grandmother struggle with lung cancer and saw how she cherished a scrapbook she made for her. When Hannah Heilman, a junior at Greenwood Community High School, was pursuing a project idea to earn the coveted and highest award in Girl Scouts, she decided to make scrapbooks for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients at Greenwood Village South. She presented the residents with their scrapbooks in February. She spent nearly 150 hours piecing together the books for 15 residents and put in extra pages for them and their families to fill in their own memories. Anything the residents did in their lives was eligible for the scrapbook, and Heilman worked with each of the families to figure out what should be included. Family members provided written descriptions of memorable things they had done, such as taking vacations, favorite hobbies and favorite foods. Hannah Heilman, a junior at Greenwood Community High School, goes over the scrapbook she made with Rose Martlage-Henneke, a ...

What is Colorado State looking for in its next men’s basketball head coach?

Athletic director Joe Parker said he will use a search firm to find Larry Eustachy’s replacement and hopes to make hire within 30 days FORT COLLINS — Larry Eustachy’s career at Colorado State didn’t end well, but it doesn’t seem to have negatively affected the way potential replacements are viewing the job. "What I’m encouraged by is the outreach that we’ve seen and the number of people who have expressed interest in this job is, not overwhelming, but it illustrates to me we have a very good opportunity," CSU athletic director Joe Parker said Friday as he discussed the end of Eustachy’s time in Fort Collins before looking ahead to the future. Parker said he’d like to make the hire within 30 days, that he will use a search firm and will take advice from a small advisory committee, although he’s not sure yet just how much that committee will be involved in the process. Eustachy was one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in the Group of Five conferences, set to make more than $1...

The Sacramento Dentistry Group Talks Benefits Between Interdental Brushes and Floss

Sacramento, CA, February 9, 2018 (Newswire.com) – Patients often ask whether they should use dental floss or interdental brushes for oral hygiene. The problem with this question is that these two different tools are not mutually exclusive — if a person uses one, they can still use the other. For the best oral health, the dentists at the Sacramento Dentistry Group recommend that their patients use both, as needed and according to their preferences. Looking at the Research First, a study presented by the respected Cochrane Review concluded that interdental brushes and dental floss produce very similar results, when used in conjunction with toothbrushes, for cleaning the teeth. They are essentially equally effective at preventing gum disease. Unfortunately, none of the studies considered researched the effect of using both interdental brushes and dental floss. From the perspective of the practicing dentist or dental hygienist, this is the ideal practice. Whether they start with floss a...

The Colorado home where a man’s body was found encased in concrete Jan. 10, 2018 CBS Denver DENVER — A woman has been charged with murder after her father’s body was found encased in concrete in the crawl space under his home in a Denver suburb. KUSA-TV reported Tuesday that 69-year-old William Mussack’s body was found Jan. 10, a month after friends and family stopped hearing from him. Court records say Mussack texted his son Dec. 7, saying he might have been drugged by his daughter, 45-year-old Dayna Jennings.

4-year-old dies from infection after routine visit to Arizona dentist

Please install the latest Adobe Flash Player Plugin to watch this content. Video courtesy of CNN YUMA, Ariz. (KRON) — An Arizona mother has filed a wrongful death complaint against a dental office in Arizona after her child died following a routine visit. “They took half of my heart,” her mother Francisca Lares said. “They took something from me that will never come back.” The family attorney, Marco Mercaldo, said the four-year-old girl “had cavities and had a dental abscess.” In January 2016, Francisca took her young daughter Liseth to the Kool Smiles in Yuma. One day later they were back in the office. “The mom called back reporting signs of fever from her daughter, the dentist looked at the child, did in our view a relatively cursory exam, sent her home, told the mom essentially there is nothing to worry about she’ll be fine. Unfortunately the infection spread and she died of infection,” Mercaldo said. Attorneys preparing their case against Kool Smiles say if the office gave ...

Smartphone-Powered 3D Printing, Big Visions for Digital Dentistry and Hybrid Manufacturing in Focus for Taiwan’s T3D and Inteware

Taiwan is home to a strong advanced technology sector, and one that has been embracing 3D printing at increasing rates. As additive manufacturing continues to expand its capabilities, strength in research and applications will continue to drive the industry as a whole forward. Resin- and metal-based 3D printing systems in particular have seen strong growth lately in systems both big and small, as advances offer new levels of both performance and cost-effectiveness. If someone were to mention using a smartphone to power 3D printing, your first thought might just be, “Oh, no” — particularly if you’re familiar with the ONO (originally OLO) 3D printer, which hit Kickstarter last year with big promises of low prices in resin-based 3D printing. To be fair, there may still be something there for ONO; the company is providing updates of solutions to problems that have long delayed production of an actual product. Shortly after we first heard about the ONO project, though, we learned about a s...
