text: Hell of a ride, that's more miles in one trip than I've done in 6 months of owning my Gpz. I'll bet the rear will need replacing pretty soon!! Tyre I mean. Steve -----Original Message----- From: schnowz [mailto:schnowz at localnet.com] Sent: 04 July 2007 21:48 To: gpzlist at micapeak.com Subject: Back from the Fandango Arrived home in CT a little fatigued from the Fandango last night 7,148 miles for the trip. (109,478 on the clock) I spent yesterday checking out backroads in DE/PA and hit the slab in Bloomsburg Pa around 3:30pm last bit of slab was boring, like all slab but especially because it's familiar territory. It was great meeting the western contingent and finally putting names to faces. Some great riding and scenery out there, with a great group.. I was hoping to see Buerhle out there, but got the news that he has the Geeper up for sale. Mike ask the ex for forgiveness or whatever it takes - your Geeper's future is at stake for god's sake.. A big Thanks to Charles for organizing a great ride, and family for putting up with the eastern tourists. I got to use the Scaps garage for an oil change and Charles even offered to loan me wheels for my jaunt around the Rockies . I adjusted my plans as I went. I met the group in Silverton as it gave me an extra day to get there. I was doing 500+ miles per day on back roads, but there was no way I was going to be able meet at Charles's place on Wednesday without a long day in the saddle and cutting out the New Mexico part of the trip. I was planning to head back through the Ozarks but an 11th hour decision (after hearing the Forecast of heavy rain and flooding ) had me heading North to the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota. (thanks for the suggestion Rob). Definitely worth seeing if you haven't seen them. There was a forest fire while I was there, and the road I had planned was blocked. So I had the option of going back or taking a gravel fire road with directions from the Park ranger. I chose the latter and thankfully made it thru without incident as there was no other traffic if I dropped it. I spent a day just visiting these and MT Rushmore - it was good to relax and see some sights as I had no time on the way out to stop and check stuff out. The rest of eastern South Dakota and western Minnassota was just plain boring and was the most slab I did the whole trip. Not even an option to take alternate side roads as they were mostly dirt. The SE part of Minnesota and western Wisconsin was not bad and SE Minnesota reminded me of VT. I followed the Mississippi down thru Illinois crossing back and forth. Stopped near Galena on the way down - quaint old mining town. Then headed down thru Ind to KY checking out towns and cities as I went. I crossed back over to Ohio and then WV up thru MD and PA. Some great roads, too numerous to mention them all, and many weren't numbered. Suffice it to say if you live the Appalachians, Ozarks or the Rockies you're in rider heaven.. To mention a couple, for the guys in the Northeast - check out PA 26 between Everett PA and Piney Grove MD. I enjoyed this as much as the famous 555 in Ohio.(which is unpredictable for newbies). Also WV route 7 going into Ohio. (but of course most WV roads are great) and 160 across southern Mo was for the most part good - especially between Doniphan and Alton. These are not necessarily technical like Deals Gap - just good twisty roads, good surface without traffic. I will defer to Charles on the Western roads as he is more able than I to point out some of the awesome roads out there. Thanks to Charles and Rob for the plaques.. Chuck and Jeff I hope you're both well on the way to recovery.. Pete Staniforth 96 GPZ (in serous need of valve adjustment and cleaning.) PS. I'm glad to report Steve has modified his compulsive polishing affliction.. Charles... That T shirt is mine but isn't worth the money to ship it. (especially if it's been used as a codpiece) Thanks anyway.. -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Grocery stores in western Massachusetts say that food stamps should be working again.
Over the weekend, cash registers across the country stopped processing EBT transactions because of a computer failure at Xerox, the private vendor that runs the system. A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Agriculture reiterated that the outage was not related to the federal government shutdown.
Kelly Lannon works the register at Atkins Farm grocery store in Amherst. She says on Saturday, there were at least a dozen customers who tried to pay with their EBT cards.
"They had to either pay with another form of payment or they had to leave their groceries," Lannon says. "Most people had to just leave their groceries."
The problem was fixed late Saturday evening but some shoppers are still confused. The manager at Maple Farm Foods in Hadley says customers are calling in to see if the food stamp system is back up.
This story was reported by the Associated Press and New England Public Radio's David Chang.

If you have tried taking Clomid unsuccessfully, your doctor may suggest moving you to the next phase of fertility medications - gonadotropins. While clomiphene stimulates the pituitary gland, most gonadotropins aim to directly affect the ovaries and stimulate the development of eggs. You may also be prescribed gonadotropins if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome, luteal phase defects or an unexplained fertility problem. Gonadotropins can also help you produce several mature eggs if you are undergoing an assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedure.
While it is more common for women to be prescribed gonadotropins, such medications can also be prescribed to men who with hormonal imbalances, abnormally low sperm counts or poor sperm motility.
There are several different medications categorized as gonadotropins.
Whatever gonadotropin medication you take, you will start receiving injections approximately three days into your cycle and continue them for seven to 12 days, depending on how long it takes your eggs to mature. Once they have matured, you will either schedule your ART procedure for a few days later, or you and your partner will be instructed to go home and have intercourse.
If you have not gotten pregnant after undergoing three cycles of gonadotropins, your doctor may suggest increasing the dose. However, you may only use these medications for a maximum of six cycles. If you do not get pregnant within that time, you might want to consider changing treatments.
Common side effects from the use of gonadotropins include bloating, fluid retention, weight gain and abdominal tenderness. Fortunately, newer medications, such as Gonal F and Follistim, cause fewer of these side effects. You may also find it difficult to administer your own injections, but recent advances have made self-administration easier by using smaller needles.
Some women who take fertility drugs develop a condition called ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), which occurs when the body responds too well to the medication and produces too many eggs. Weight gain and an intense bloated feeling accompany this condition as a result of the ovaries swelling and leaking fluid into the abdominal cavity. In most cases, OHSS will resolve itself with careful monitoring by a doctor. In rare cases, the condition can be life-threatening.
The total cost of one cycle of gonadotropins is typically between $2,000 and $5,000.

Like many districts, my district is focusing on generating SGO's for all of their teachers.
I however do not fit the general guidelines of an elementary teacher (although that is what my contract states).
I am the coordinator of the gifted and talented program in my district. Not only am I responsible for 500+ students in five different buildings but I also head a curriculum committee (five meetings each year), prepare and monitor a department budget of $25000, arrange 20 different field trips including all paperwork, etc., prepare over 25 different subjects/activities over the course of the academic year, present workshops for both parents and teachers (four of these workshops are held in the evening), prepare and present all identification information for over 300 students each year, attend inter-district meetings as the representative for our district, etc. etc.
In essence I have many of the responsibilites of a supervisor except for teacher observations. I do all of that and teach - a matter of fact, I am the only teacher in my department. I teach in five different buildings - I have no classroom. I teach in hallways, balcony lobbies, and cafeterias. There is no technology in any of my teaching areas. And, btw, my classes are large (when considering gifted and talented classes) - an average of 18 -20 students in each.
I am not sure where or how to approach the SGO's - I am concerned that I will be evaluated like a classroom teacher although so much of my job requires supervisory duties as well. The teaching area is about 50% of my job responsibilities while the supervisory duties are the remaining 50%.
Any suggestions where I can go to get info on SGO's for gifted and talented education? I really need some guidance so I can approach this intelligently and create SGO's that are the most effective and beneficial for my situation.

Nice but Flimsy
"I ordered the orange pair of these peep toes and they were really cute and true to the color on the screen; however they were pretty flimsy. I have worn Rocket Dog shoes in the past so I did not expect a sturdy footbed, but these shoes did not hold their form very well . They run a little narrow, but I did not think that was going to be a problem since I have a narrow foot. Even with my narrow foot, the shoes bulged on the sides. I am usually a 9 or 9 1/2 so I ordered the 9 1/2 and the shoes felt loose. I had tried on the 9 in the store but it was too short. Try another peep toe if you have a medium to wide foot."

Camelot is a touching musical adaptation of the story of Arthur and his nights of the round table. As a young king, Arthur is at first reluctant of his duty, doing his best to avoid an arranged marriage with the lady Guinevere. When later they meet by chance, Arthur's and Guinevere's hearts take a turn, and their story begins.
Five years later in a kingdom bound for glory, Arthur and Guinevere are in the midst of forging a new ideal for Camelot as they begin to invite Knights that uphold honor and justice, instead of plundering and pillaging the villages. As their new ideal takes shape, however, even the most honorable find themselves caught in the enticing snares and forbidden paths of human existence. Their convoluted truths and desires wrap them up in one of the most exciting and fantastic legends enjoyed by millions.

The Global Leadership Program
Such leadership cultivates capacities and skills in people to recreate new mindsets, systems, and processes that engage and transcend cultural boundaries and synergize the different cultures present.
"In the ever-globalizing world, we desperately need a new framework – one that is able to not only re-explain the world, but also guides our actions towards solving our most fundamental problems and challenges." Blake Yongming Tang, Ph.D., Founder and Director, Global Leadership Institute
Saint Mary's College of California (SMC) in the USA and the Global Leadership Institute (GLI) in Beijing China announce a Master Certificate Program in Global Leadership. This program is composed of a series of workshops specifically designed for managers, leaders, coaches, leadership educators and scholars, trainers and consultants to enhance leadership capacity in global organizations. These two organizations bring a unique team of leadership professionals into a dynamic, personally engaging experience for participants as they learn to explore various key themes involved in developing capacity in global leadership. At the conclusion of the workshop participants will learn:
- How to authentically engage people of different cultures.
- How utilize cultural differences as assets toward building collaboration.
- How to mobilize progress in cross-cultural teams on the work that matters.
- How to measure personal effectiveness in global leadership.
- How to engage cross-cultural differences as catalysts for personal growth and leadership development.
The program focuses on developing leadership practices that match the complexity of working in multicultural environments. Each three-day workshop is oriented around a particular system level—self, team, and organization. Each workshop can be taken by itself; all three, with the completion of an action plan in an organizational setting and a fourth integrative workshop, will lead to a Master Certificate in Global Leadership by SMC and also a Global Leadership Certificate by GLI.
Workshop I: Self: Cultivating Leader Effectiveness
3 days in China: April 7-9 (Thursday-Saturday), 2011
Workshop II: Team:Cultivating Team Leadership Effectiveness
3 days in China: July 21-23 (Thursday-Saturday), 2011
Workshop III: Organization:Cultivating Effective Leadership in Organizations
3 days in China: September 22-24 (Thursday-Saturday), 2011
Workshop IV: Demonstrating Capacity for Global Leadership
5 days in U.S.A.: November 26-30 (Saturday-Wednesday), 2011
* Campus learning at Saint Mary's College
* Organizational experience at global corporations in the Silicon Valley
* Certificate Ceremony
* Individual Coaching (Following each workshop, participants receive an individual coaching session with an experienced coach in China)
The program will use a series of innovative and provocative delivery methods, pioneered by our program faculty, to enable participants to have a powerful experience together.
A Learning Laboratory
The workshop itself becomes a learning laboratory for multicultural group dynamics, enabling participants to experience global leadership as it takes place in the "here and now."
Individual and Team Coaching
Coaching processes and skills are employed at both individual and team levels. On the spot coaching will enable participants to have an immediate learning-and-change experience in real time.
Action Learning
By connecting formal learning with everyday practice, action learning is employed to enhance participants' ability to transfer their learning to their home organizations toward practical, immediate, and generative results.
Peer Consulting
Participants provide consultations on leadership challenges and on leadership development plans that sustain the learning beyond the conclusion of the program.
Team Teaching
Faculty are present and work as a cross-cultural team, which provides additional learning resources for participants in developing global leadership capacity.
Admission requirements
This program is open to managers, organizational members, leadership educators and scholars, trainers, coaches, and consultants from all sectors and industries interested in enhancing their capacity in global leadership. Selection is based on professional achievement, and organizational responsibility and in order to provide a range of diverse professional and cultural experiences. There is no formal educational requirement, but fluency in reading and speaking English is required.
Application process
Participants can apply to individual workshops or to the certificate program as a whole. The Master Certificate in Global Leadership consists of Workshops I – IV.

Namur Belfry, UNESCO World Heritage Site
© Jacques Leurquin - Ville de Namur
- Address:
Rue du Beffroi
- MAPS: Google Maps
From the 14th century, the Namur belfry was located in the tower of the Saint-Pierre-au-Château collegiate church. When it burnt down in 1745, the belfry was transferred to the Saint-Jacques tower, the largest tower of the third city wall, built in 1388. By the 16th century, the belfry had already been adjusted to receive the 'cloche-porte' (gate-bell) announcing the opening and closing of the city gates. At just over 20 metres high, the Saint-Jacques tower is a remarkable testimony to 14th-century military architecture.
The belfry is a UNESCO "World Heritage of Humanity" site.
Guided tours are available for groups (combined with a tour of the surrounding area). Duration: 2 hours. Languages: French, Dutch, English. Please book two weeks in advance by calling Mr. Jean Laffineur (Association des guides touristiques namurois) on +32 (0)84 21 04 60.

Needs more cowbell!
• Keep doing stuff.
Roads were made for journeys...
You're faster than Zoomy anyway, so it's not like you need every little bit of speed to keep up with her... I know she wants you to run that training run with her, but if you're injured, that's just stupid. (See how much I love you, talking to you like this?) Keep your running shoes OFF your feet in order to keep your brain cells intact. You need healing, not training.
Of course, it's your body, not mine. But if your goal is to be able to run in the race, I think that's what you need to do.
Abs of Flabs
Ok, in an unexpected turn of events in the life of Eryn, I'm going to actually listen to advice & do what I should do. Blondie, I REALLY want to come out & run, but I want to run the race with you even more!
Phew, I was really worried that you would come out here, we'd get 3-4 miles into the run, and then you'd really injure yourself and I'd feel bad. Thank

AMD Slammed With Suit Over Birth Defects
Jason Mick
November 9, 2007 10:34 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Suit alleges that AMD recklessly exposed its employees to toxic substances
Ryan Ruiz, 16, of Austin Texas, shares the same last name with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) CEO Hector Ruiz. Ryan, sadly, is the victim of a birth defect. He is missing the lower right part of his arm and had significant cognitive impairment. The unfortunate irony of his last name comes in that his conditions are allegedly
caused by Hector Ruiz's company, AMD
Ryan's mom, Maria Ruiz, worked in AMD's Fab 14 clean room from 1988 to 2002. She was exposed to a wide array of toxic chemicals during her employment with AMD, including ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate and 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, known to cause birth defects. During her employment she had to seek medical attention at least twice due to fume inhalation.
Her exposure concerned her when she discovered she was pregnant. She inquired about health risks with a local doctor at the Austin Regional Clinic, but was told not to worry about it, and to feel free to return to work. AMD was perfectly happy to take her back, and she worked most of the remaining course of her pregnancy, continuously exposed to chemicals that are known in the medical community to cause birth defects.
The ending of story is the tragic one previously stated -- her son was born missing part of a limb and with brain damage.
Now Maria is taking the fight to the corporation she feels damaged her and her son. The lawsuit, filed in Travis County District Court, both targets AMD and includes medical malpractice allegations against the doctors at the clinic she went to for medical consultation. It names a family/occupational health practitioner and an obstetrics and gynecology specialist, George Marking MD and Alinda Cox MD. These doctors, according the suit, failed to warn Maria about any possible risks of working with the toxic chemicals at her place of employment, during her pregnancy.
The Ruiz vs. AMD Lawsuit has some high power representation in the form of filing attorney Adam S. Ward, a partner in Allison & Ward, LLP and Steven Phillips of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg LLP (New York). The enlistment of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg LLP draws attention, in particular, because the firm successfully won an undisclosed settlement for IBM clean-room exposure victims in a similar case.
"Like millions of Americans, Maria Ruiz did not realize that 'clean rooms' are designed to keep damaging dust particles from semiconductor wafers during manufacturing, not to protect men and women exposed to a spectrum of hazardous chemicals and fumes," said Steven Phillips of Levy Phillips & Konigsberg LLP, co-counsel in the case.
The representing firm Allison & Ward, LLP has been airing commercial on local TV in Texas seeking people with knowledge of the clean room, for possible testimony.
The suit seeks exemplary damages and includes a five-count petition charging negligence, breach of warranty, fraudulent concealment and misrepresentation.
AMD doesn't really need much more bad news. With
another weak graphics card launch
another losing quarter
debts piling up
, and rivals
Intel piling up record profits
, AMD has scant room for more negative press or losses. Thus this suit marks the kind of sad sort of story in which there are no winners.
"People Don't Respect Confidentiality in This Industry" -- Sony Computer Entertainment of America President and CEO Jack Tretton

Chapter 560 seems to shed some light on Tobi's plans for Sasuke. It appears, at least to me, that EMS turns into Rinnegan near the point of death. Did the Sot6P have Rinnegan while fighting the Jyuubi, or did he awaken those eyes after defeating it? We don't see his eyes in that one panel of him facing the Jyuubi, so it's possible he fought it without the Rinnegan, and awakened it later.
If near-death is responsible for changing EMS to Rinnegan, it might explain why Tobi was so eager to get Sasuke to desire EMS. Constantly putting him into battles that drain his own eyes and make him doubt his own power eventually led him to wanting Itachi's eyes. Tobi also promised that Sasuke will face Naruto. Naruto himself said that if the two of them fight again, they'll both die. It appears, then, that Tobi wants Sasuke to awaken the Rinnegan. We can see that Tobi has been working on his "Hashirama-cells" plan to make the transformation to the Rinnegan a reality too.
Could Tobi's plan have been to raise a new Uchiha to be a vessel for Madara's soul? Such a theory suggests Madara's body is no longer a factor, of course, but it would explain why Madara invested time in training Itachi in the first place. To nurture a prodigy Uchiha who loves his brother would mean a potential new Rinnegan. Also, the Rinne Tensei is known to be able to take a soul and throw it into a body. The intention could be to rip Sasuke's soul out once he develops the Rinnegan, and put Madara's into Sasuke's body, thus creating a body that can handle Madara's true power.
What we saw from Madara in chapter 560 is an example of the end result of Tobi's plan. I'm convinced Madara's rampage is going to be cut short by something (Edo Tensei interruption, for instance) to allow Sasuke to possess this power in a more significant battle.
Your thoughts?

The Crossroads of the Aether
I would very much like to start creating and mod-ing things to a Steampunk asthetic but there is just one question: where do I start? Where did you start or what do you suggest I start with?
Views: 178
I started quite small. a pin actually. mostly see if I could and if I had any talent for it. personally, you might want to start with deciding what vision you have for yourself 'in character'. engineer? gunslinger? doctor? that sort of thing. that will surely point you in a general direction of where to go with your craft.
also, review the seemingly endless pictures in the archives here. Ive gotten a ton of inspiration from seeing what others have done. there are a slew of amazingly gifted and imaginative folk here in the empire.
that and have fun with it. if its not fun, its probably not for you
I started with art, that is, I was making art on my own and people said "Oh, how lovely! You've discovered steampunk!" when I had no idea about which they referred. (Therefore, I cannot answer the question, which came first ... as I do not know.)
When I intentionally tried to make something steampunk, it was clothing. Adding embellishments, buckles, that sort of thing. It seems to me you find what interests you, and start with that: some small thing, and learn as you go along.
I don't know.
I have never modded anything in my life. Even my outfit for Steampunk events is merely a collection of repurposed items from my closet.
I am not a tactile artist; I am a reader and story teller.
How interesting, Dr. Fidelius. I would not have thought there was a great deal of difference between repurposing and modifying. I suppose if you repurpose carefully, you can return the item back to its original state after wearing; whilst with modifying, you have changed permanently?
How do you see the difference?
The difference is in intention and use, not in anything done to the items themselves. I did not purchase my bow ties, vests, pocket watches and hats to be a Steampunk "costume," and I have done nothing to alter them from the condition they were in when purchased.
However, when I combine them in the right way, I am as Steampunk as that guy over there with the fully articulated mechanical arm, or the girl with the light-up corset.
Hear, hear
I don't like to mod, I simply don't. No matter how good something is if it was created by my own hands then all I see are the flaws. I think it's best to start by collecting small bobbles. Vintage items, old watch parts, anything copper. Then once you spread them out before you may find yourself inspired, and even if you don't then you are at least well armed for the moment it finds you.
I started in thrift stores. It's terribly fun to find old vintage peices and repurpose them into something new and exciting. I agree with Earl Grey, that if you collect items that have potential to become part of a steampunk creation, inspiration will follow. I've done quite a bit of "will this look good with that?" and etcetera. :)
agreed here as well. I only started doing the SP thing a relatively short while ago, but with an eye to little bits I would stumble across in my wanderings. I now have a very large, heavy tub of bits, materials and parts that have accumulated surprisingly quickly. at an alarming rate if truth be told.
with that, each thing Ive found, I initially have some inkling as to what I want to use it for. it is however on very rare occasions that said bit or part ends up where Id originally envisioned as once combined with another 'found' object, its course or use changes.
As the elderly gent said when asked about his undies. Depends. What is your interest? Start small and build on the skills you already have. Being totally mad I will give anything a try. From crochet to blacksmithing. Find some small thing that looks fun (youtube is a good place to look ) and go nuts.

Notice that my stomach is "calmer" not so much gas
Great product
Posted by Reviewer1499428 on Jun 09, 2013
I've struggled with digestive issues for years - this is the product that helps me most. I also feel like my body is getting more nutrients from food because I am digesting so much better. Highly recommend!! V-cap - slight black licorice flavour due to fennel added. No magnesium stereate to hinder absorption.

This product does help me to ease some bloating in the stomach but I have only been on it for less than a month so I can't really determine the effect yet but I would say it is work in progress I guess!
Eases digestive pains
Posted by Reviewer2917570 on Sep 29, 2013
I have extreme abdominal distention, and difficulty with digesting all types of foods which results in bloating and water weight gain. I take 5-6 of these before or during my meal and it helps with the digestion pains. This is the only digestive enzymes I have found that helps. I also combine them with Pancreatin for some extra help.
Great product
Posted by 4769323481488732755 on Aug 15, 2013
Works well. Good company. Lots of lovely ingredients to help your stomach digest and feel calm. I think it's a great product for people who don't have huge digestive issues. I am taking it with a few other digestive products as I have GERD.
You won't be disappointed

|Very easy to install. Super nice looking. HIghly recommend.
User: Doug B, Oct 24, 2012
|I now appreciate it says it protects from scuffs and scratches but I also expect a case to guard against damage from drops. This thing is a micro thin piece of plastic disguised to look like carbon fibre and Im sure it protects against scuffs and scratches but does not guard against damage from falls. Hey maybe its my fault for not taking it at its word and expect it to do what a case usually does. Good thing Ive ordered another case that will actually protect and give me what I need.

In 1608, Capt. John Smith explored Chesapeake Bay. Charles I granted a royal charter for Maryland to Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore, in 1632, and English settlers, many of whom were Roman Catholic, landed on St. Clement's (now Blakistone) Island in 1634. Religious freedom, granted all Christians in the Toleration Act passed by the Maryland assembly in 1649, was ended by a Puritan revolt, 1654–1658.
From 1763 to 1767, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon surveyed Maryland's northern boundary line with Pennsylvania. In 1791, Maryland ceded land to form the District of Columbia.
In 1814, during the British attempt to capture Baltimore, the bombardment of Fort McHenry inspired Francis Scott Key to write the words to "The Star-Spangled Banner." During the Civil War, Maryland was a slave state but remained in the Union. Consequently, Marylanders fought on both sides and many families were divided.
Maryland's Eastern Shore and Western Shore embrace the Chesapeake Bay, and the many estuaries and rivers create one of the longest waterfronts of any state. The Bay produces more seafood—oysters, crabs, clams, fin fish—than any comparable body of water. Since the 1950s, fish stocks have declined due to increased residential and commercial development in the area and the attendant amount of nutrients, sediment, and toxic substances polluting the water. In 2009, President Barack Obama signed the Chesapeake Bay Restoration and Protection Executive Order that called on the federal government "to restore and protect the nation's largest estuary and its watershed."
Important agricultural products are greenhouse and nursery products, chickens, dairy products, eggs, and soybeans. Stone, coal, sand, gravel, cement, and clay are the chief mineral products.
Manufacturing industries include food products, chemicals, computer and electronic products, transportation equipment, and primary metals. Baltimore, home of the Johns Hopkins University and Hospital, ranks as the nation's second port in foreign tonnage. The capital, Annapolis, is the site of the U.S. Naval Academy.
Among the popular attractions in Maryland are the Fort McHenry National Monument; Harpers Ferry and Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Parks; Antietam National Battlefield; National Aquarium, USS Constellation, and Maryland Science Center at Baltimore's Inner Harbor; Historic St. Mary's City; Jefferson Patterson Historical Park and Museum at St. Leonard; U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis; Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt; Assateague Island National Park Seashore; Ocean City beach resort; and Catoctin Mountain, Fort Frederick, and Piscataway parks.
In March 2012, Maryland passed legislation to legalize gay marriage, becoming the eighth state to do so.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
A tired but still exuberant and enthusiastic group of Order of the Arrow scouts completed their tamarisk removal project and held their closing ceremonies on Friday evening. The actual work project began on June 16 and continued through June 20.
During the week they worked around Joe's Valley Reservoir and in the Buckhorn Draw in the bottom and up the side canyons. The scouts exceeded their goal and did so with less scouts than expected. Original numbers estimated 1,000 scouts would be able to attend the project but at the beginning of the event, 550 scouts actually made the trip to the Manti-LaSal service project.
At the closing ceremonies, John Fagan said, "We have had a blast. This has been the beginning of a journey. You have become the leaders of tomorrow. This has been an awesome week and you did it. You have been a vital part of Arrowcorps 5, the largest service project ever in the United States. It works out to 50 acres per person for tamarisk removal. Thirty-three miles of tamarisk removed, you have made a significant environmental change and you have saved three important areas to Utah and to our nation. You have made history and changed the future. But the impact has just begun. Three thousand more Arrowmen will change the future with cheerful enthusiasm. I offer my sincere congratulations on this week of service," said Fagan.
Fagan also reminded the scouts they will receive a patch for their Arrowcorps service. He said to let this patch remind them of the work represented. "It is the experience that the patch represents that makes it worth something," said Fagan.
"Live a life of service, continue your service and lead others in service. Take that home with you. Let the arrow patch remind you of your service here. We will encounter each other again along this path," said Fagan.
Mark Rey the Undersecretary of the Department of Agriculture spoke to the scouts in their closing ceremony. He remarked the US Forest Service and the Boy Scouts are a lot alike. The forest service was founded in 1905 and the scouts in 1908. "I can't think of a better partnership. This is the largest service project in the history of the forest service," said Rey.
The project on all five forests equates to 250,000 man hours of service and the equivalent of $5 million monetary value. Rey asked the scouts to consider making the forest and land management a career. "You have built friends from around the country and learned about the resources. Most importantly you have spent a week working outdoors. Chief Abigail Kimbell wants young people to connect with nature and to have a love of the land. This work you have done goes beyond the value to the ecosystem. The lessons learned will continue for a lifetime. Through the next generation and beyond. Look back on this experience with satisfaction for a job well done and you were a part of it," said Rey.
Wayne Ludington of the Price Bureau of Land Management office spoke to the scouts. He said the BLM isn't as high a profile agency as the forest service but they are the largest land management organization. "You cleared 23 miles in the Buckhorn drainage which is one of the most high recreational use areas of the Swell. The Buckhorn is also a high resource area with eagles, mule deer and falcons. The work done will be a great help in restoring the area. Your work set back the invasion of the tamarisk and we will work to keep them out," said Ludington.
Brad Haddock the National Order of the Arrow chairman spoke to the scouts saying, "Together we have accomplished great things. I recognize all of you scouts who lived the scout law this last week." Haddock said the scouts have learned servant leadership. Servant leadership is when you aren't position conscious and are willing to serve and have the confidence to serve. Servant leaders will see where they can give service. They will initiate it on their own and a servant leader loves other people. "You have demonstrated that magnificently, I ask all of you to think about what you've learned and leverage what you've learned and take it home," said Haddock. He said that in the project beginnings 13 possible sites were identified and then narrowed down to five. "This site was chosen because we could make a difference here. We recruited people to be on the national committee and those with a temporary lack of sanity agreed to the job," said Haddock. Haddock recognized two of those people, Tish and Jack Hess and presented a painting called "October Flight" to them for their efforts.
John Healy, Mesia Nyman, Wayne Ludington, Karl Ivory, Mayor Hilary Gordon and Canyon View Junior High were honored for their parts in the overall efforts. Fagan said they collected $4,126 in the patch auction and donated that to the school as a thank you for letting the scouts use the school for one week.
The closing video likened the scouts to trees. Trees can protect, shade and offer meeting places. Trees offer signs of hope in a sometimes otherwise desolate landscape. "The only ones in this life who will truly be happy will be those who have found a way to serve; the simplest things we do for each other will make a difference. We have made this place a little better, where are you going to leave your mark?
Stilwill encouraged the scouts to all plant a tree back home in memory of this project. The tree will grow and as it does you will remember your service.
The ceremony ended and Huntington City treated the scouts to ice cream and cookies outside the building.
In talking with Jack Hess, event organizer, he said, "It went fantastic. We came into this project thinking we would have 1,000 scouts but we did twice the work and covered more acres with half the people. When I drove up Buckhorn Wash the other day, I thought, what a difference this has made. We have video and still pictures of how the tamarisk looked both before and after. I am tired, but exhilarated all at the same time. We've been here for 10 days now. I think it all ran smoothly, there were bumps and glitches. I wish we would have had 100 more scouts. Running three sites back to back was hard logistically with moving all the materials. They were in Missouri, then Utah and the 40 instructors left for Virginia yesterday. The Instructors Corp is a great group of young men. They are like the middle management. They are trained sawyers, EMTs and they work with the scouts. Larry Davis with Canyon View Junior High has just been very cooperative. It is an amazing facility and worked well for us."
JJ Arnold, public relations director said, "This is youth in action. It has been a humbling experience watching this project unfold. It's a great program to watch these boys grow through participation and leadership. I enjoy giving back to an organization that has given me so much."
The scouts have come and gone, but their service and impact will be felt for many years to come.

|Release Date: 09/30/09
Members sought for White River RMP advisory group
MEEKER, Colo.—The Bureau of Land Management in Meeker and the Northwest Colorado Resource Advisory Council are seeking additional members of the public interested in serving on an advisory group for the White River Field Office Resource Management Plan Amendment.
Participants will serve as a subgroup under the Northwest Colorado Resource Advisory Council (RAC). The Northwest Colorado RAC formed a subgroup for the White River Plan Amendment in October, 2007, and is seeking to diversify its membership. Members should have specific knowledge of the 2.6-million acre White River Field Office in northwestern Colorado and be willing to attend meetings in Meeker this fall, winter and spring.
The subgroup will provide feedback to the Northwest RAC about the formulation of the Field Office's Resource Management Plan Amendment, which is addressing an anticipated increase in oil and gas activity within the boundaries of the Field Office. This Plan Amendment will also include a Resource Management and Monitoring Protocol. Currently the Field Office is in the impacts analysis stage, and a Draft plan is expected in January 2011.
Membership on the subgroup is being sought for the Northwest RAC's three general categories: Category 1 members represent commercial interests or users such as livestock grazing, timber, mining, oil and gas, realty and rights-of-ways, off-highway vehicle groups, and guides and outfitters. Category 2 members represent environmental organizations, archaeology/historical interests, wildlife organizations, wild horse and burros, and dispersed/general recreation. Category 3 members represent state or other governmental agencies, Tribes, academic institutions, and the public-at-large.
The Northwest Colorado RAC is one of three advisory councils to BLM Colorado. Composed of 15 members appointed by the Secretary of the Interior, individuals serving in each RAC represent a broad range of public land interests, including environmental, local government, and commercial activity. The Northwest RAC advises the BLM's Grand Junction, White River, Little Snake, Kremmling and Glenwood Springs field offices.
Please submit a letter of interest to the Bureau of Land Management, 220 East Market Street, Meeker, Colorado 81641 by Oct. 30, 2009. For additional information, call Kent Walter, Field Manager, (970) 878-3800.
For more information on Colorado RACs, go to http://www.blm.gov/rac/co/co_index.htm.
The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any Federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 Western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM's mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of Americas public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations. In Fiscal Year 2015, the BLM generated $4.1 billion in receipts from activities occurring on public lands.
