Social Site Information Collection and Use
When you use any WGT service at a Social Site, where WGT games are also referred to as "applications", you allow WGT to access certain information from your profile for that Social Site. The information you allow WGT to access varies by game and Social Site platform, and it is affected by the privacy settings you establish at the Social Site. You can control and find out more about these settings at the Social Site where you play our games. For example, WGT will access and store some or all of the following information, as allowed by you, the Social Site and your preferences: your first and last name; your profile picture or its URL; your user ID number, which is linked to publically available information such as name and profile photo; the user ID numbers for your friends that are also connected to our game(s); the login email you provided to that Social Site when you registered; your physical location and that of your access devices; your gender; and your birthday.
By playing a WGT game through a Social Site, you understand WGT will collect, store, and use, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, personally identifiable information that you have allowed the Social Site to provide to WGT through the Social Site Application Programming Interface ("API"). Your agreement takes place when you "accept" or "allow" (or similar terms) one of our applications on a Social Site.
To manage the information WGT receives about you from the Social Site where you play our games, you will need to follow the instructions at that Social Site for updating your information and changing your privacy settings.
Once WGT receives your information from a Social Site, that information is stored and used by WGT in accordance with this Privacy Policy, and you may access and update that information as described below.
Children's Privacy
WGT recognizes the privacy interests of children and we encourage parents and guardians to take an active role in their children's online activities and interests. This Site is not intended for children under the age of 13. WGT does not target its services or this Site to children under 13. WGT does not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If WGT has actual knowledge that personally identifiable information about a person under the age of 13 has been collected without appropriate parental consent, then WGT will take the appropriate steps to delete such information.
Aggregate Information
The Site tracks the total number of visitors to our Site, the number of visitors to each page of our Site, pages visited per use, browser type, IP addresses, exit page, duration of use, operating system type, and we will analyze this data for trends and statistics in the aggregate, but such information will be maintained, used and disclosed in aggregate form only and it will not contain personally identifiable information. We use such aggregate information to analyze trends, administer the Site, track users' movement, and gather broad demographic information for use and disclosure in aggregate form.
Cookies and Third-Party Advertising
We use small text files called cookies and related tracking technologies (collectively, "cookies") to improve overall Site experience. A cookie is a piece of data stored on the user's device or browser containing information about how the user interacts with our Site and services. We use cookies to provide the Site or services, gather information about your usage patterns when you navigate this Site or services in order to enhance your personalized experience, and to understand usage patterns to improve the Site and services. As detailed below, we also allow certain trusted partners to place cookies on our Site and services in order to provide personalized marketing to you.
We use third-party advertising companies to place cookies on our Site and services in order serve ads when you visit our Site. These companies may use aggregated information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visits to this Site and our services and other web sites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Specifically, advertisers (including ad serving companies) may assume that people who interact with, view, or click targeted ads meet the targeting criteria-for example, people aged 30-50 from a particular geographic area. WGT does not provide any personally identifiable information to the advertiser when you interact with or view a targeted advertisement.
Your choices
You can review your Internet browser settings, typically under the sections "Help" or "Internet Options" and use our cookie management tool (button below) to exercise choices you have for certain cookies, including for interest based advertising. If you disable or delete certain non-essential cookies, you might not be able to access or use important functions or features of this Site or services, and you may be required to re-enter your log-in details. Please note you may also still receive advertisements from the relevant ad serving company you opted out of, but the ads will not be tailored to your interests. For our mobile app please review your device settings or third-party tools available.
Offer walls
WGT games or their purchase pages may display an "offer wall" that is hosted by an offer wall provider. The offer wall allows third-party advertisers to provide virtual currency to users in exchange for interacting with an advertisement or for completing a marketing offer that may include signing up for an account with one of those advertisers. These are not offers made by WGT. These offers will be displayed to you based on certain technical information, such as your geographic area or anonymous demographic information. After clicking on one of these advertisements, you will no longer be on a web site hosted by WGT or partnering SNS. To properly credit user accounts and to prevent fraud, a unique identifier, in some cases your user ID number, will be shared with the offer wall provider. This identifier is used to ensure proper crediting of your account, prevent fraud or duplicate offers and to resolve any customer service inquiries that may arise. Once you complete an offer, you will then return to a WGT web site or game.
Disclosure and Opt-In
We share your personally identifiable information with service providers, such as email marketing service providers, for purposes of providing the Site and services to you, who we require to provide reasonable security for personally identifiable information and to only use your personally identifiable information on our behalf.

If you do not want your information shared, you can choose not to allow the transfer of information to such third-party contest sponsors by not opting-in and not providing any information. Their use of your personally identifiable information will be subject to their privacy policies and terms of use and they may contact you with marketing messages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you register to participate in a challenge or tournament on the Site that is a benefit for a charity and you pay an entry fee and/or make a donation to that charity, you acknowledge and agree that we will provide all personally identifiable information you submit during registration to the charity so that they may communicate with you regarding the tax deductibility of any donation you make and generally about the activities of the charity. We will also share, or give permission to any such charity to share, your personally identifiable information with other sponsors of the challenge or tournament for purposes of prize fulfillment. Those communications will be subject to the privacy policy of the relevant charity. Please be aware that we cannot control the activities of third parties to whom we provide your personally identifiable information and as such, WGT cannot guarantee that such third parties adhere to the same privacy and security procedures as WGT.
When legally required or at WGT's discretion, WGT will cooperate with law enforcement agencies in any investigation of suspicious or alleged illegal activity on this Site or on the Internet. Additionally, your information, and the contents of your private online communications, will be accessed and disclosed (i) in response to legal process (for example, a court order, search warrant or subpoena); (ii) when we have a good faith belief that we are required to disclose the information in response to legal process; (iii) in other circumstances in which WGT believes the WGT games or web sites are being used in the commission of a crime (including exchanging information with other companies and organizations for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction); (iv) when we have a good faith belief that there is an emergency that poses a threat to the safety of you or another person; and (v) when necessary either to protect the rights or property of WGT including to enforce our Terms of Service, or for us to render the service you have requested.
We will not sell your personally identifiable information to any company or organization except we will transfer your personally identifiable information to a successor entity upon a merger, consolidation or other corporate reorganization in which WGT participates or to a purchaser of all or substantially all of WGT's assets to which this Site relates.
We employ procedural and technological security measures that are reasonably designed to help protect your personally identifiable information from loss, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. WGT will use password protection, encryption and other security measures to help prevent unauthorized access to your personally identifiable information. However, no security measure can guarantee against compromise. You also have an important role in protecting personally identifiable information. You should not share your usernames/email addresses and passwords with anyone, and you should not re-use passwords across more than one web site. If you have any reason to believe that your username/email or password have been compromised, please contact us as detailed below.
Data Subject Rights
Where required by applicable law, you have the right to obtain confirmation of the existence of certain personally identifiable information relating to you, to verify its content, origin, and accuracy, as well as the right to access, review, obtain a copy, port, delete, or to block or withdraw consent to the processing of certain personally identifiable information (without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal), by contacting us as detailed below. Additionally, you have the right to object to our use of personally identifiable information for direct marketing and certain cookies at any time. Contact us below for more details. Please note that we need to retain certain personally identifiable information as required or permitted by applicable law.
Cross-Border Data Transfers
Our computer systems are currently based in the United States, so your personally identifiable information will be processed by us in the U.S. where data protection and privacy regulations may not offer the same level of protection as in other parts of the world, such as the European Union. If you create a user account with the Site or otherwise provide us with personally identifiable information, as a visitor from outside the United States, where permitted by applicable law, by using the Site you agree to this Privacy Policy and you consent to the transfer of all such information to the United States, which may not offer an equivalent level of protection of that required in other countries. We take steps to securely maintain personally identifiable information transferred to the US.
Other Issues
What is the legal basis of processing?
Some jurisdictions require an explanation of the legal basis for the collection and processing of personally identifiable information. We have several different legal grounds on which we collect and process personally identifiable information, including: (a) as necessary to perform a transaction (such as when we respond to your requests); (b) as necessary to comply with a legal obligation (such as when we use personally identifiable information for record keeping to substantiate tax liability); (c) consent (where you have provided consent as appropriate under applicable law, such as for marketing or certain cookies); and (d) necessary for legitimate interests (such as when we act to maintain our business generally). With respect to legitimate interests, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of you which require protection of personally identifiable information, such legitimate interests are the fulfilment of the processing purposes described in this Privacy Policy that are not necessary for the performance of a contract or for our compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
What are the consequences of not providing personally identifiable information?
You are not required to provide all personally identifiable information identified in this Privacy Policy to use the Site or services, but certain functionality will not be available if you do not provide personally identifiable information. If you do not provide personally identifiable information, we may not be able to enter you into contests, respond to your requests, or provide you with marketing that we believe you would find valuable.
Do we engage in automated decision-making without human intervention?
We do not use automated decision-making without human intervention, including profiling, in a way that produces legal effects concerning you or otherwise significantly affects you.
Does the Site honor do not track ("DNT") signals sent via browsers?
Given the divergent practices of organizations that offer browsers and the lack of a standard in the marketplace, we generally do not respond to DNT signals at this time.
How long do we retain personally identifiable information?
We typically retain personally identifiable information related to marketing activities for as long as you accept marketing communications from us, and we will securely delete such data in accordance with applicable law upon request. For personally identifiable information that we collect and process for other purposes, we typically retain such personally identifiable information for no longer than for the period necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy and as otherwise needed to address tax, corporate, compliance, litigation, and other legal rights and obligations.
If you have any questions regarding this Privacy Policy please contact us via email at: firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Xerox V3 and V4 Print Driver Platform Overview (PDF)
Free Download
Our innovation, your advantage. Download it for free today.
Get driver
Key Features
- Lets IT managers qualify, deploy and manage all print devices on the network using a single driver
- Greatly simplifies replacing or updating network print devices: Just plug in the new device and give it the same IP address as the old printer (or redirect the port). The Global Print Driver automatically discovers the device and updates users' feature options. No requalification or reinstallation necessary.
- Fast and easy installation of new devices improves IT efficiency
- Truly universal: supports Xerox and non-Xerox printers, PCL and PostScript
- Quick installation: users can immediately use the driver without requiring IT assistance
- User interface shows most-used features on the first tab, so users can easily find and select printer options
- Easy to use across an enterprise
- Forward compatible with future Xerox products, meaning you don't need to upgrade your drivers when you add new equipment to your fleet
- Built-in, online help assists users with troubleshooting and support for Xerox products worldwide, in 26 languages
- Dynamic pre-configuration allows IT administrators to change "pushed" driver settings without re-installing drivers or breaking certification
- Earth smart features let you configure a variety of paper saving features on your Xerox product in one convenient place. For instance, Print Job ID prints job/user information in the margin of the first page to eliminate costly and wasteful banner pages
Key Challenges
- Multiple drivers clutter users' systems
- Lost productivity due to IT administrators and users learning new interfaces for each printer driver
- Increased frustration caused by lost productivity
- Onus is on IT administrators to qualify, load and manage drivers and print queues for server-based workflows
- Onus is often on IT administrators to manage printer drivers on users' local systems in peer-to-peer network environments
- Increased costs for companies due to added IT administration
- Dramatic simplification of driver deployment, management and maintenance
- Productivity gains for both users and IT administrators
- Real-time printer status from a single, familiar interface, which reduces the need to offer training when new devices are deployed
- Ability for users to save personal settings for each printer
- Reduces end-user training and support costs
Why Choose Xerox?
- Compatible with virtually any brand of printer or MFP, unlike other "universal" printer drivers that only work on their manufacturers' print devices
- You will not lose capabilities by moving from a traditional driver to the global driver. We offer 100% feature and design parity between the Xerox Global Print Driver and traditional Xerox drivers for most Xerox products.
The V3 and V4 X-GPD are truly universal print drivers compatible with Xerox and other manufacturers' products, but the driver's functionality varies by product model.
For fully supported devices, the drivers will automatically recognize all the advanced printing features supported by the device and present them in the driver user interface.
All Xerox and non-Xerox devices that can process industry standard Postscript and PCL commands are compatible with these drivers in the "Basic Printing Mode". The V3 X-GPD allows for configuring "Xerox WorkCentre Device" or "Xerox FreeFlow Device" modes to ensure that additional printer capabilities are available.
The V4 X-GPD does not support FreeFlow devices but does offer two enhanced fallback modes that support the common features of most office products, these fallback modes can be selected when the driver does not automatically recognize the device: "Xerox Enhanced Mode – Color" and "Xerox Enhanced Mode – Black & White".
Please refer to the "Xerox V3 and V4 Print Driver Platforms Overview" (PDF) for detailed information and recommendations to optimize your experience.

"The goal of Eucalyptus is to allow sites with existing clusters and server infrastructure to host an elastic computing service that is interface-compatible with Amazon's AWS, but can also support multiple interfaces such as Google's AppEngine and the Sun Cloud open API," says Dr Rich Wolski, Co-Founder & CTO of Eucalyptus Systems, who will be giving a breakout session on the Eucalyptus open source software infrastructure at SYS-CON's 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo (GovITExpo), which will take place on October 6, 2009, at the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC.
Wolski's session will focus on specific features of the system that are designed to enable rapid development, prototyping, and deployment of local computing clouds, particularly for debugging and/or application development purposes. He will discuss our experiences in building and supporting open source cloud infrastructure and point to potential future directions that he believes will enable greater innovation.
About the Speaker:
In addition to being CTO at Eucalyptus Wolski is a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Having received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of California at Davis (while a researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) he has also held positions at the University of California, San Diego, and the University of Tennessee. He is currently also a strategic advisor to the San Diego Supercomputer Center and an adjunct faculty member at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He has led several national scale research efforts in the area of high-performance distributed computing and grid computing, is the author of numerous research articles concerning the empirical study of distributed systems, and is the progenitor of the Eucalyptus project.
About 1st Annual Government IT Conference & Expo
Government IT Conference & Expo (GovITExpo.com), which is being held October 6, 2009 in Washington, DC, builds on the success of SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Expo, the fastest-growing conference anywhere in the world devoted to the delivery of massively scalable IT as a service using Internet technologies. Agency CIOs and CTOs need the flexibility to choose the best tools to accomplish their mission regardless of platform. Cloud computing, virtualization, SOA, security and compliance are among the major themes of the technical program.
October 6 Keynote from the Deputy CIO of the CIA
The Opening Keynote at the 1st GovIT Expo is being given by Jill Tummler Singer, Deputy Chief Information Officer at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). It is titled "Enterprise Cloud Computing - The Infrastructure's Ultimate Revenge."
With GovITExpo we widen and broaden our reach to embrace those who are bringing technology into the Federal domain. This high-energy event is a must-attend for senior technologists involved in Government IT at every level including CIOs, CTOs, directors of infrastructure, VPs of technology, IT directors and managers, network and storage managers, network engineers, enterprise architects, and communications and networking specialists.
There are breakout sessions on the security issues that are unique to the Cloud, such as the crucial distinction between Private and Public clouds. Expert speakers from government and the software industry alike will be looking at issues such as the requirements for how companies can handle government information and how information can be most successfully shared by multiple clouds.
Doing more with less is the new reality for most IT departments, and the Government is no exception. So the cost-effectiveness of technologies such as Virtualization are also foremost on the agenda, which you can view by clicking on the middle link below:

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was enacted to: declare a national policy which will encourage productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his environment; to promote efforts which will prevent or eliminate damage to the environment and biosphere and stimulate the health and welfare of man; to enrich the understanding of the ecological systems and natural resources important to the Nation; and to establish a Council on Environmental Quality. Sec. 2 [42 U.S. Code § 4321].
NEPA is our basic national charter for protection of the environment. It establishes policy, sets goals (section 101), and provides means (section 102) for carrying out the policy. Section 102(2) contains "action-forcing" provisions to make sure that federal agencies act according to the letter and spirit of the Act.
President Nixon signed NEPA into law on January 1, 1970. NEPA set forth a bold new vision for America. Acknowledging the decades of environmental neglect that had significantly degraded the nation's landscape and damaged the human environment, the law was established to foster and promote the general welfare, to create and maintain conditions under which man and nature can exist in productive harmony, and fulfill the social, economic, and other requirements of present and future generations of Americans. NEPA was the first major environmental law in the United States and is often called the "Magna Carta" of Federal environmental laws. NEPA requires Federal Agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions. To implement NEPA's policies, Congress prescribed a procedure, commonly referred to as "the NEPA process" or "the environmental impact assessment process."
The ultimate goal of the NEPA process is to foster excellent action that protects, restores, and enhances our environment. This is achieved through the utilization of environmental assessments (EAs) and environmental impact statements (EISs), which provide public officials with relevant information and allow a "hard look" at the potential environmental consequences of each proposed project.
NEPA has been effective in providing public officials with the information they need to make better decisions. "Thank God for NEPA because there were so many pressures to make a selection for a technology that might have been forced upon us and that would have been wrong for the country . . . ." Then-Secretary of Energy James Watkins made this statement before the House Armed Services Committee in 1992 in regards to his decision to forgo proposed production technologies. The environmental review process informed him, and other decision makers, that this technology would not align with the Department of Energy's departure from an emphasis on weapons productions towards an emphasis on cleanup of production facilities.
NEPA's success has not been limited to domestic environmental issues, it has since been replicated throughout the world. Countries and non-governmental organizations all over the globe have created their own EIA programs, modeled upon NEPA, making NEPA an international catalyst in the field of environmental protection.
NEPA established the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) within the Executive Office of the President to ensure that Federal agencies meet their obligations under NEPA. CEQ oversees NEPA implementation, principally through issuing guidance and interpreting regulations that implement NEPA's procedural requirements. CEQ also reviews and approves Federal agency NEPA procedures, approves alternative arrangements for compliance with NEPA for emergencies, and helps to resolve disputes between Federal agencies and with other governmental entities and members of the public.
Today, CEQ is involved in tackling a wide range of environmental issues and setting forth a number of initiatives. One of CEQ's major responsibilities is to develop and recommend national policies to the President that promote the improvement of environmental quality and meet the Nation's goals.

With jack-o-lanterns waiting to be lit and candy bags waiting to be filled, local law enforcement agencies and safety experts are reminding kids and parents to add safety to the sugar rush for Halloween this year.
With jack-o-lanterns waiting to be lit and candy bags waiting to be filled, local law enforcement agencies and safety experts are reminding kids and parents to add safety to the sugar rush for Halloween this year.
Local law enforcement agencies will be on high alert Wednesday, stepping up patrols to make sure motorists are driving slowly and children are staying out of harm's way. They'll also visit registered sex offenders to make sure they are in compliance with laws prohibiting them from wearing masks or handing out candy or gifts.
Official trick-or-treating hours are between 6:00 and 8:00 p.m.
"Through extra patrols and sex offender checks on Halloween, we hope to give parents peace of mind," said Lafourche Sheriff Craig Webre in a news release.
You can check to see if a sex offender lives near you by visiting www.lpso.net in Lafourche Parish or www.tpso.net in Terrebonne Parish.
Though experts say the safety risks of Halloween shouldn't make parents paranoid, there are hazards they need to be aware of. Perhaps the biggest of those hazards is driving; children are more likely to be killed by a vehicle on Halloween than any other day of the year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"As motorists, we have to have an abundance of caution when we get on the roads that night," said Louisiana AAA spokesman Don Redman. "You should expect to see kids darting in and out into the street. So drive slow and be ready to react quickly."
Redman says he's glad Halloween falls on a weekday this year.
"You traditionally see a decrease of about 30 percent in incidents where cars strike children on a weekday," Redman said. "You don't have people out partying and driving around after having a beer or two."
Redman said parents should also take plenty of precautions for their trick-or-treating children. He said the "rules of the road" are mostly common sense:
- Never let a child trick-or-treat alone or without adult supervision.
- Make sure to look both ways before letting your child cross the street, and don't let children walk across busy streets.
- Wear bright, reflective clothing, and be sure to bring a flashlight or lantern.
- Include contact information somewhere in your child's costume so you can be reached if they get lost.
Local fire officials said Halloween also poses an increased fire threat. Costumes — especially those bought from a store or those featuring crepe paper, flowers or other organic material — are often highly flammable, and often include capes or other loose items that can hit open flames if the wearer isn't careful.
If you want to light candles, be sure to use a long fireplace-style lighter. Place any jack-o-lanterns, candles, torches or other open flames away from furniture or buildings and out of the grass. About 800 home fires happen each year in the U.S. because of holiday events, causing almost $4 million worth of damage, according to fire department statistics.
There are plenty of other miscellaneous tips to follow. If your kid's costume has a mask, make sure the child can see and breathe well. If the costume comes with props, like swords or other weapons, make sure they are soft and flexible. Check every piece of candy before letting your child eat it; don't let children take candy that isn't individually wrapped.
All these safety tips might make parents nervous about letting their kids go outside. But most experts said caution, not paranoia, is necessary.
"Halloween is a great holiday. It's a lot of fun for the kids," Redman said. "And if everybody pays attention and plays safe, that's exactly what it will be."

Do you know what kind of food I like best? The kind that is naturally gluten-free and minimally processed. I think chocolate fits in that category, but I am not talking about chocolate today. Don't worry, chocolate still holds a place in my heart. 😉
I have seen various posts in the blog world about the yucca root. I hadn't heard of it before and was intrigued. I saw that the yucca was being cut into fry shapes and then baked in the oven. I have posted numerous other veggies that I like to eat like fries, so why not yucca? Yucca is also called cassava. Yucca is actually very familiar to those of us on a gluten-free diet. It is known as one of the most widely used gluten-free flours, tapioca! Yucca has a mild flavor and can be used in place of potatoes in soups, dumplings, stews, gravies & more.
I chose to peel & bake/roast my yucca root last night to go along with my BBQ chicken breasts. Once I peeled the yucca, I laid out on a baking sheet that I sprayed with Pam and then sprayed the root itself with Pam. You could toss with EVOO & spices, too. I then seasoned with just salt & pepper, as I wanted a good idea of what the yucca itself tasted like. I baked at 400 or so for about 20 – 30 minutes, flipping after about 15 minutes and then checking every 5 minutes after that. I have to say that this is one of my new favorite forms of fries! Holy YUM!! The yucca fries had a crispier outside & a potatoey (is that a word?) inside. Super mild flavor. I dipped them in Organic Ketchup, but they would be good dipped in all kinds of sauces…..Frank's Red Hot, Honey Mustard, BBQ, etc.
I can see adding yucca to my list of produce that I buy weekly now. Very nice change of pace and delicious, too! Interested in the other fries that I have made? Here they are:
Let me know if you give yucca root a try & how you end up preparing it.
What is your favorite homemade fry?
New article up on the Examiner.
Upcoming blog stuff:
- Lots of new product reviews. I have some fun stuff to try out & report back to you all on. I can't wait! 🙂

A statue of a Union soldier on the Gettysburg battlefield damaged by high winds is back on its post in time for the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the pivotal battle of the American Civil War.
About 200,000 people are expected to visit this crossroads town in south-central Pennsylvania over a 10-day period starting Friday to commemorate the Battle of Gettysburg, which took place July 1-3, 1863. The schedule is chock-full of re-enactments and battlefield tours, plus the National Park Service's official commemorative ceremony on Sunday night featuring historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.
"It's been three or four years of planning," Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said. "In a lot of ways, this is the Olympic moment for Gettysburg."
Breaking news and the stories that matter to your neighborhood.
It is one in which one of the battlefield's most memorable statues has been returned to its pedestal after being felled by high winds Tuesday.
The monument to the 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry portrays a Union soldier swinging his rifle like a club. The musket barrel was bent after landing on the ground, while the shoulder area suffered a little damage, Litterst said.
The monument restoration staff gave it a temporary fix to allow it to be displayed during the anniversary week events.
Monuments typically mark -- or come close to marking -- the locations on the battlefield at which soldiers fought. The 72nd Pennsylvania Infantry defended a key spot on the third day of battle against the famed Confederate advance known as "Pickett's Charge."
It will stay up through anniversary events before being taken down for more extensive repairs.
"All things considered, the damage could have been much, much worse," Litterst said.
The Blue-Gray Alliance, a re-enactment group, opens the schedule Friday with its first of three days of battle re-creations on a private farm. Organizers expected about 10,000 Civil War buffs to take part.
The National Park Service programs include a Pickett's Charge "commemorative march" on the actual battlefield, during which nine park rangers will lead groups representing each of the nine Confederate brigades that took part in the failed assault on the entrenched Union positions on Cemetery Ridge.
Another re-enactment held by the Gettysburg Anniversary Committee is scheduled on a farm north of town July 4-7. Re-enactments are held on private properties.
Gettysburg was the bloodiest battle of the Civil War, with about 51,000 casualties. It was the Confederate Army's northernmost advance in the war.

Apologetic Indians pitcher ejected for hitting Kevin Youkilis
CLEVELAND (AP) — Carlos Carrasco apologized. By then, the Yankees had already done their damage.
After waiting 18 months to pitch in a major league game, Carrasco was ejected in the fourth inning for hitting New York's Kevin Youkilis — one pitch after giving up a home run to Robinson Cano — and the Yankees connected for five homers in a 14-1 rout of the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night.
Carrasco, who just finished serving a suspension for hitting Kansas City's Billy Butler with a pitch in 2011, didn't get past the fourth in his first appearance since Aug. 3, 2011. The right-hander missed last season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and may now be facing another suspension.
No wonder he had tears in his eyes after the game.
"I'm really sorry," Carrasco said, explaining that he slipped on the pitch that drilled Youkilis. "I'm coming from a six-game suspension, I don't want to do anything real bad and I'm just telling the truth. That's what happened."
Cano drove in five runs and Youkilis, Ichiro Suzuki, Lyle Overbay and Brennan Boesch also homered for the Yankees, who have outscored the Indians 25-7 in two games. Backed by the new Bronx Bombers, 40-year-old Andy Pettitte (2-0) pitched seven solid innings in his second strong start.
Brett Gardner went 4 for 5 with two RBIs and scored three runs. New York had 18 hits — 11 for extra bases.
It was New York's most lopsided win in Cleveland since 1931, when the Yankees beat the Indians 18-1.
With power hitters Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira on the disabled list, New York wasn't expected to hit as many homers — at least not until those guys get back. But after hitting eight in their first six games, the Yankees have doubled their total since coming to Progressive Field.
Cano, who had four hits, arrived for the four-game series batting .130 and without an extra-base hit. In the past two games, he is 7 for 10 with three homers, three doubles and seven RBIs.
"When he hits the ball hard, it's usually for extra bases and drives people in," New York manager Joe Girardi said. "I've seen him hit some balls in the last two days, I don't know how you can hit them any harder."
Indians manager Terry Francona was worried about Cano getting hot while in Cleveland. In 24 hours, the All-Star second baseman has gone from warm to scorching.
"He's one of the best hitters in the league," Francona said. "It seems like you make a good pitch and he hits a single. You make a mistake and it's over the fence."
Carrasco (0-1) was making his first start in two seasons. He made it a memorable one, and possibly his last for a while.
Before the game, Francona was excited about seeing Carrasco.
"The kid has gone through a lot to get back here," Francona said.
He may have to go through some more.
Carrasco gave up five runs in three innings — all with two outs. He retired the first two in the fourth and walked Gardner. Cano then hit a deep shot to left field to make it 7-0, and Carrasco's next pitch was high and tight on Youkilis, who had no chance of ducking from the fastball.
As Youkilis headed to first, plate umpire Jordan Baker casually strolled to the mound and tossed the ball back to Carrasco before signaling for him to leave. Carrasco didn't seem aware that he had been ejected and stood on the infield grass with his teammates. Asdrubal Cabrera had to tell Carrasco he had been tossed.
Francona came out to argue with Baker as Girardi watched intently from the top step of New York's dugout.
After the game, Carrasco was waiting outside Francona's office and told his manager he slipped on the pitch to Youkilis.
"I feel really bad," Carrasco said. "I know it doesn't look good. I just went to the office and apologized to Tito. I don't want to do anything like that. I just waited a year and a half. I don't want to be suspended again."
Francona understood why Carrasco was tossed and why the Yankees were unhappy.
"It didn't look good," Francona said. "I understand the umpire's viewpoint. I think if you look at the video, he slipped. If you're on the other side, I understand it. But that's what happened."
Girardi wasn't surprised Carrasco was thrown out.
"That was right in the middle of his back after a home run," he said. "No one ever knows if a guy truly does it on purpose. But he just came back from a suspension. If it was on purpose, it's not a good idea. If it wasn't, it looks like it was. Either way, it doesn't look good."
Carrasco's ejection led Francona to bring in Brett Myers, who was scheduled to start Wednesday's game. The Indians have not yet announced Myers' replacement.
The Yankees showed no mercy, scoring two in the sixth, four in the eighth and one in the ninth off Myers, who was charged with seven runs and three homers.
NOTES: Yankees DH Travis Hafner hit his 100th career homer at Progressive Field on Monday. Only Jim Thome (190) and Manny Ramirez (132) have hit more in the ballpark's history. Hafner played 10 seasons in Cleveland. ... Indians CF and leadoff man Michael Bourn was given the night off by Francona, who said the move had been planned for several days. ... Francona is 81-80 in his career managing against the Yankees. He went 6-6 in four seasons with Philadelphia and 75-72 in eight seasons with Boston. ... Myers has allowed seven homers in 10 1-3 innings.
