Bioscience Committee
The GBC Bioscience Committee works directly with the industry to identify barriers to company formation and growth in Maryland. The committee then devises and implements strategies to overcome those barriers. These include expediting tech transfer and advocating for legislation that supports industry growth.
Built Environment & Sustainability Committee
The Built Environment & Sustainability Committee reviews and analyzes significant real estate developments and urban design initiatives in our region. The committee makes recommendations and suggests policies that will serve as catalysts for better communities and examples of Smart Growth and sustainability.
Bridging the Gap Committee
The Bridging the Gap Committee supports and nurtures the development and growth of minority-owned and women-owned businesses in the region and state. The committee provides assistance by identifying and instituting development programs, addressing public policy issues, providing networking opportunities and serving as a resource guide for minority and women entrepreneurs who are members of the Greater Baltimore Committee.
Education & Workforce Committee
This committee reviews and explores innovative approaches to further enhance the quality of academic enrichment and extracurricular activities available to the region's youth. The committee develops policy positions to advocate at the local and state levels for reform in the public school and higher education systems, and explores initiatives that enhance the quality of workforce for a more productive region.
Energy & Natural Resources Committee
The Energy & Natural Resources Committee has a strong educational component. One of its initial activities is to educate the business community about the status of energy supply, transmission and generation in Maryland and outline the implications for the business community. The committee is also studying water supply and distribution issues in the region.
Government Contracting Committee
The Government Contracting Committee is a logical extension of GBC's involvement in the BRAC buildup at Aberdeen Proving Ground and Fort Meade. The committee benefits those companies that already enjoy secured access to federal government agencies by expanding the level of contacts that such entities currently utilize, as well as businesses that may wish to explore the nuances of contracting with the government and military. The committee also serves as a "clearing house" with answers to questions that government contractors may have on state and county policies and practices.
Health Care Committee
The Health Care Committee reviews legislative matters that affect the health care and insurance industries. It identifies issues and develops positions on health care that impact the residents in the region and that have implications for the business community. In coordination with the GBC President and CEO Don Fry, it communicates with legislators and key stakeholders the value of the health care industry to the region and the benefits of a healthy workforce and population.
Innovation & Technology Committee
The Innovation & Technology Committee serves as a public policy advocate on emerging technology issues to be addressed by government or by the private sector, and provides education and public awareness on technology-related policy issues.
Legislative Committee
The Legislative Committee is an invitation-only committee, which advises the GBC President & CEO on matters pertaining to legislative policy in the State House, Baltimore City Council and regional county governments.
Planning & Project Development Committee
The Planning & Project Development Committee examines planned or proposed economic development projects, initiatives or public policies impacting economic development in the Baltimore region. This committee serves as a forum to help the business community understand, participate in and influence regional economic development activity. It focuses on visionary and large-scale development projects, such as the future of the Inner Harbor.
Transportation & Mobility Committee
The Transportation & Mobility Committee explores the "big picture" as it relates to national, state and local transportation issues. It serves as a forum to help the business community involve itself with policy issues such as transportation governance and the emerging role of public-private partnerships. It examines new revenue option such as congestion pricing, vehicle miles traveled taxation, and the creation of state and national infrastructure banks.
Small Business Council
The Small Business Council serves as a voice for small business by studying and developing positions pertaining to issues affecting new and small businesses in the Baltimore region. Recommended members are companies that have fewer than 50 employees or have been in operation fewer than five years.
Regional Business Advisory Councils
The GBC's Board of Directors identified strengthening relationships in the surrounding central Maryland counties as a priority of the organization. In order to expand involvement and build upon a more-regionally focused approach, the GBC formed three Regional Business Advisory Councils, chaired by GBC President & CEO Donald C. Fry, which are open to all GBC members.

IN THIS ARTICLEChiggers CausesThe chigger mite is about 1/150th of an inch in length, meaning it is only barely visible to the naked eye. The juvenile forms, which bite humans, have six legs, while the adult forms have eight legs. Chigger mites are red in color, and the juvenile (biting) forms require a relatively humid environment, so they are most commonly located in vegetation that is near ground level. When human skin or clothing comes in contact with low-lying vegetation that hosts chiggers, the mites can infest the human and migrate on human skin in search of a feeding area. Chiggers most commonly bite in areas of thinned skin such as wrinkles and folds. Therefore, chigger bites are commonly observed in the crotch and groin areas, in the armpits, and in the folds behind the knees. The ankles are also a common site for chigger bites. Other areas that are commonly bitten by chiggers are areas where the compression of clothing (such as belts) presents barriers to their migration. A popular myth about chiggers is that they burrow into the skin and remain there, but this is incorrect. When the chigger bites, it inserts its feeding structures and mouth parts into the skin. They inject enzymes into the host skin that destroy the host tissue. The area then hardens, and a feeding tube, called a sylostome, develops at the bite area. Chiggers can feed on the skin for a few days through this structure if they are not disturbed. Must Read Articles Related to Chiggers

This is a beautiful bench. The fabric is great quality. I purchased it only for looks not for actually using as it is going to sit at the end of the bed. It's fairly large. I have a queen size bed and it is almost the width of the bed. There's not a ton of cushioning if you are planning on using it to sit or so. I've made several purchases from Overstock and I've yet to be disapointed.
I was looking to replace my existing brown bench with something more fresh and contemporary. This did the trick!! I use it in front of a large window looking out to my backyard patio and yard. Looks wonderful. Now I'm looking for a contemporary pole lamp to sit next to it. Overstock here I come!!!
Great bench! Very comfortable. It will make a great addition to my dining seating.
This bench looks awesome in my apartment full of whites/dark browns/greys. Really adds some depth to the room -- but it's incredibly uncomfortable if you sit in the middle. There is very minimal padding and so it's a very pretty but not functional bench. I'd use it more as an ottoman with a tray on top if I were to do it again.
I bought the Melrose Bench and matching Melrose Wingback Chairs (the color and pattern are exactly the same even though bench looks like a brighter color in photo) to use as a dining bench. Could be used under a window sill in a living or bedroom or at the foot of bed-measure first. Bench is very good/high quality, very modern and gives a pop of color (more a bluish teal not turquoise) to the room. The bench is very light weight and simple to move, I am 5'2" and 1115 pounds and it's a cinch. Also, the bench was delivered to my door and no assembly required; no damages in transit.
Came fully arranged (which was nice) but the seat is really stiff and uncomfortable to sit on. The color is duller than it looks in the picture.
Exactly what I was looking for - a great quality bench at a great price. Sturdy, beautiful fabric and quick shipping. Love this piece.
This piece looks like a million bucks and was cheaper than anything I could find

At the core of our explorations is the quest to know if life exists beyond Earth. The Planetary Society is a leader in the search for life on other worlds, whether intelligent or microbial. Our active projects: SETI Optical Telescope - Looking for laser signals beamed across the vastness of space. SETI Radio Searches - Huge radio dishes sift through nature's random noise for beacons from other civilizations.
SETI Projects
In 2006, The Planetary Society unveiled the first All-Sky Optical SETI (OSETI) telescope. Funded by The Planetary Society and operated by a Harvard University team, it's completely dedicated to capturing that one pulse of light that might be a communication.
One faint signal from light-years away could prove we're not alone in this universe. The Planetary Society is committed to finding that signal -- tirelessly surveying the skies with our Southern SETI project and our Optical SETI Telescope. You can be a part of these projects and help us keep the search going.
SETI@home is the most successful public participation science project in history, and it is dedicated to searching for a signal from the stars. The Planetary Society made it all possible.

Our Improved Optical Search for ET
The Planetary Society Optical SETI (OSETI) Telescope was successfully upgraded and fully tested, and is now fully operational looking for aliens. Here are some updates on the performance and progress. In summary, the upgraded telescope is performing just as hoped and is scanning the skies.
Optical SETI Gets a Major Upgrade
The Planetary Society Optical SETI Telescope in Harvard, Massachusetts just got a major upgrade of its electronics. The telescope, which has been operating the only all-sky optical SETI survey since its opening in 2006, is run by Harvard University Professor Paul Horowitz and his team. The telescope scans the sky every clear night with a 72-inch primary mirror, looking for laser pulses as short as one billionth of a second that could be transmitted by distant extraterrestrials. When observing, it has been able to process 1 terabit (trillion bits) of data every second, that's as much as in all the books in print every second.

In this episode of ID the Future, David Boze and CSC Senior Fellow Dr. Jonathan Wells discuss the connections to intelligent design in the new movie Man of Steel. While the story of Superman may be fantasy, it centers on real scientific matters such as genetic manipulation and information storage inside the cell.
A petition urging the Obama administration to ban the teaching of creation and intelligent design in U.S. schools was recently filed on the White House website.
The 116-word petition claims that even though Darwinian evolution is "treated as scientific fact by 99.9% of all scientists," some schools still erroneously give credence to the "controversy" of non-evolutionary theories.
"[Creationism and intelligent design] have no basis in scientific fact," the petition claims, "and have absolutely zero evidence pointing towards these conjectures. These types of loopholes in our education are partially to blame for our dangerously low student performances in math and science. Therefore, we petition the Obama Adminstration [sic] to ban the teachings of these conjectures that contradict evolution."
Since the petition was posted on June 15th, well over 30,000 people have signed the measure.
This year, ORIGINS 2013 (the joint meeting of the Creation Biology Society and the Creation Geology Society) will be meeting in Pittsburgh, PA, a day prior to the International Conference on Creationism. Because of this year's ICC, the ORIGINS conference is condensed to a single day, and Dr. Steve Austin is also leading a geology field trip.
Casey Luskin reports in ENV...with Stephen Meyer's new book, Darwin's Doubt: The Explosive Origin of Animal Life and the Case for Intelligent Design, out this week and catching some noteworthy attention, recent articles in leading scientific journals are confirming some of his key arguments about the Cambrian explosion. The two arguments I have in mind are: (1) that the Cambrian explosion was a real event in the history of life, and (2) that standard unguided evolutionary theories have failed to explain it.
Is science really the realm of free inquiry, open to every good idea? Biologist Rupert Sheldrake says modern science is mired in various dogmas - boundaries you're not supposed to cross, at least if you value your job and your reputation.
The popular king of horror stories, Stephen King, told NPR in an interview published Tuesday that he believes in God and intelligent design, and shared about his personal faith experience.
"If you say, 'Well, OK, I don't believe in God. There's no evidence of God,' then you're missing the stars in the sky and you're missing the sunrises and sunsets and you're missing the fact that the bees pollinate all these crops and keep us alive and the way that everything seems to work together," said the author of The Shining, The Green Mile, and Dreamcatcher, which were all adapted into full-length motion pictures.
The cosmos, he tells NPR, is "built in a way that to me suggests intelligent design.
Discovering Intelligent Design (DID) is the first full curriculum to present the scientific evidence for intelligent design in both cosmology and biology in an easy-to-understand format. The curriculum includes a textbook, a workbook, and a DVD with multimedia video clips that are integrated into the readings. Developed by home school educators Gary and Hallie Kemper, and Discovery Institute research coordinator Casey Luskin, DID uniquely fills a specific niche in the intelligent design literature.
The Blaze's Billy Hallowell reports that...Ball State University, a public institution in Muncie, Indiana, is purportedly looking into claims that a course centered around the subjects of creationism and intelligent design constitutes a violation of the separation of church and state. The college purportedly began its investigation after the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a church-state separatist group, sent a letter of complaint regarding physics and astronomy professor Eric Hedin.
And some faculty members are sticking up for the physics professor...

Evolution has become a favorite topic of the news media recently, but for some reason, they never seem to get the story straight. The staff at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture started this Blog to set the record straight and make sure you knew "the rest of the story".
A blogger from New England offers his intelligent reasoning.
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.

Comments about Adidas Busenitz ADV Skate Shoes:
I love these shoes. I've had all the other busenitz, but these are by far my favorite. With the extra 10 dollars on the price tag, I got some of the most durable leather I've skated. I've been skating them for around 2 weeks, and done probably like 200 tre flips - and they're barely wearing down on the toe.

I must tell you I'm nearly 60 & I bought these shoes and others from Tactics because I like the look of the shoe. When I have called them to ask about sizing etc, these folks are extremely knowledgeable & have always been correct. I like to support a local business & they are in Eugene, Oregon.
Thank you Tactics staff!!

I love the shoe the look, reminds me of a Gazelle. the only thing i would reccommend is they should put the insole in from the pro model. much more comfortable, thats what i did. and you still have amazing board feel.

get answers from real customers and in-house experts with AnswerBox.
Does this shoe fit a bit long or a bit short? I usually where an 11 but there is only 10.5 and 11.5 in your stock.1 answer
They fit pretty true to size.Q:
Do these have good board feel like the previous busenitz?1 answer
They do offer decent board feel for a cupsole. However, if board feel is high priority for you I would look into the Busenitz Vulcs. Vulcanized skate shoes are going to offer a lot more board feel then cupsole skate shoes. However, cupsole shoes are going to be a lot more supportive.Q:
when will the busenitz adv shoes be instock and will it be both the navy white and the black gold?1 answer
these shoes are currently in stock and we only carry the black/metallic gold/university red

How to Beat the Goalie: LaBarbera
(Photo by: Kelly Cox) |
Being a backup most of his career, Jason LaBarbera is looking to show the entire world that he can still play in the NHL well. LaBarbera has found himself playing for four NHL teams--New York Rangers, Los Angeles Kings, Vancouver Canucks and Phoenix Coyotes--and has been back and forth in the minors. However, in the past six seasons, LaBarbera has been a reliable backup in the NHL.
At 33 years old currently, LaBarbera isn't as quick as he once was. His prime is over and should be looking ahead at retirement pretty soon.
Coyotes starter Mike Smith has secured his job with the performance he displayed towards the end of the 2011-12 season and the playoffs. Smith led Phoenix to Pacific Division champions and all the way to the Western Conference finals.
With that being the case, LaBarbera is in a tough situation for ice time. The biggest weakness of LaBarbera is his movement. He tends to get lazy and reaches for pucks, instead of making that slide to take room away from the shooter.
Here is how to beat Jason LaBarbera.
- Force movement: The Nashville Predators need to force LaBarbera to move from left to right. His movement is a weak point in this game and has a tendency to go the easy way out by reaching.
- Shoot: Nashville needs to just throw pucks on net. Some goals that go past LaBarbera are ones that really shouldn't. Remember, you can't score without shooting the puck.
- Traffic In Front: A good number of the goals scored on LaBarbera is a player either screening him or deflecting the puck. Nashville needs to put numbers in the slot.

In the sport of skydiving, a person jumps out of an airplane from a very high altitude, flies through the air, and releases a parachute to help them fall safely to the ground. The parachute slows down the skydiver's fall so that they can land on the ground at a safe speed. How does the parachute do this?
As the skydiver is falling, the force of gravity is pulling them towards the earth. The force of gravity can make an object fall very fast! The parachute slows the skydiver down because it causes air resistance, or drag. The air pushes the parachute back up, and creates a force opposite to the force of gravity, slowing the skydiver down. As the skydiver falls slowly to the earth, these "push and pull" forces are nearly in balance. The drag force from the parachute is slightly less than the force of gravity, so the skydiver floats slowly to the ground.
In this experiment, you will test whether the size of the parachute is important for slowing down the speed of the fall. You will make a series of parachutes from small to large and test how quickly they fall from the same height. Will the large parachutes fall more slowly than the small parachutes?

I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.Experimental Procedure
- Each parachute will be made out of the garbage bag material, so first cut open the garbage bags to make a flat sheet of plastic.
- You will make a series of parachutes of different sizes, from large to small. Each parachute will be square in shape, so the four sides will each be of the same length. A list of sizes to try are shown in the data table below:
Parachute Length of Each Side (cm) Surface Area (cm2) 1 20 400 2 30 900 3 40 1600 4 50 2500 - Cut out each of the four differently sized parachutes from the garbage bag material. One trick is to fold the plastic sheet in half twice so that it is four layers thick. Then cut the two edges (opposite the folded sides) down to half of the length you want your square to be. When you unfold it, you will have your square!
- Tie a knot in each of the four corners of your square. The knots will be used to anchor your string.
- Cut out four pieces of string for each parachute. Each piece of string should be 40 cm long.
- Tie one end of each piece of string around one of the four knots, positioning the string right above the knot.
- Hold the center of the plastic sheet in one hand and pull all strings with the other to collect them. Tie the free end of the strings together with an overhand knot:
- Attach 4 washers to the bundle of strings with a twist tie. Be sure that each parachute has the same number of washers attached, or this will alter your results!
- Bring a stopwatch and the parachutes to a safe, high surface for your tests, about 2 meters from the ground. A good place for your test might be a secure balcony, deck or playground platform.
Using your stopwatch, time how long it takes in seconds for each parachute to fall to the ground. If the parachute does not open during a trial, just do that trial over so that when you are finished you have three trials which all worked. Test each parachute three times, and make an average of your data. Calculate the average by adding together your three times, and then dividing your answer by three. You can also increase the number of trials above three to get better data and organize your data table accordingly. You should keep your data in a table, and here is an example for an experiment with three trials:
Trial 1
Trial 2
Trial 3
Average Time
1 2 3 4 - Now make a graph of your data. Make a line graph of time vs. surface area. "Time, in seconds," should be on the y axis, and "Surface area, in square cm," should be on the x-axis. After you connect the dots, your line may slope up or down. What does this tell you about this relationship? How does it relate to your hypothesis?

I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.Variations
In this experiment you tested one variable, the surface area of the parachute. What other variables could be tested? Try an experiment to test these other variables:
- Load - change the number of washers to change the weight of the load
- Height - drop the parachute from different heights
- String Length - change the length of the supporting strings from short to long
- String Weight - change the type of string from thin to thick
- Material - use different material for the parachute (nylon, cotton, tissue paper, etc.)
- Shape - try making parachutes of different shapes (circle, rectangle, triangle, etc.)

Potato and Poblano Gratin
Recipe courtesy of Marcela Valladolid
Recipe courtesy Marcela Valladolid
- Mexican Made Easy
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 3 large poblano chiles, charred, stemmed, seeded, and cut into 2-inch wide by 1/2-inch-thick strips
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 1/2 cup half-and-half
- 1/2 cup Mexican crema, or creme fraiche
- 4 Yukon gold potatoes (about 1 pound), unpeeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick rounds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cup coarsely grated Monterey Jack cheese
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Spray a glass 9 1/2-inch, deep dish pie dish with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the poblano strips and corn.
In a small bowl, mix together the half-and-half and crema.
Arrange 1/2 of the potato rounds, overlapping slightly, in the prepared pie dish. Sprinkle 1/2 of the poblano-corn mixture on top, season with the salt and pepper, and top with 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with the cheese. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet. Cover the dish tightly with foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown, about 30 minutes longer.
Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
Cook's Note: For easy peeling, enclose the charred poblanos tightly in a plastic bag.

Warren county, n.J., man sentenced to one year in prison for failure to appear
June 26, 2012 |
TRENTON, N.J. – A Warren County, N.J., man, was sentenced today to 12 months in prison for failing to report for service of an earlier sentence of imprisonment, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Jeffrey Woronowicz, 57, of Port Murray, N.J., previously pleaded guilty before U.S. Magistrate Judge Tonianne Bongiovanni to failure to report for service of a sentence imposed for violating the terms of his supervised release.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Woronowicz was on supervised release for failure to file tax returns and violated terms of his supervised release. On July 27, 2011, Judge Bongiovanni sentenced Woronowicz to serve 90 days in prison. Woronowicz was required to report to Fort Dix by Aug. 16, 2011, to begin serving his sentence. He failed to report and instead attempted to avoid apprehension and flee to Ghana, Africa. Woronowicz was apprehended by the U.S. Marshals Service on Sept. 30, 2011, and has been in custody since then.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited U.S. deputy marshals, under the direction of U.S. Marshal Juan Mattos Jr., for the investigation leading to today's sentencing and guilty plea.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas J. Eicher of the U.S. Attorney's Office Criminal Division in Newark.
Defense counsel: Brian Mahany Esq., Milwaukee, Wis.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced that federal disaster aid has been made available to the State of New Jersey.
FEMA is now accepting applications from residents and business owners who sustained losses in Atlantic County, Cape May County, Essex County, Hudson County, Middlesex County, Monmouth County, Ocean County and Union County.

I found this partial set of Jeanette Glass while on my way to run some errands a couple of months ago. I dont know alot about this set except it was produced around the 1960s or 70s by Jeanette Glass Co. The platter you see is close to 13", which is quite large, more like a charger I reacon. What I found really amazing is that both the creamer and sugar bowl still had the original price tags on them! One was $0.35 and the other $0.39! Pretty remarkable they were still intact. My guess is that they were never used, but rather just admired. They are now in my old buffet to be admired by me and my family for years to come. Enjoy!

Routes into Teaching | School Direct Training Programme | Overseas Trained Teachers | Newly Qualified Teachers | Supply Teachers
Hampshire County Council does not have a central department recruiting for supply teachers/ support staff. There are two routes to choose if you are looking for supply in Hampshire Schools/ Children's Centres.
Contact Hampshire Schools/ Children's Centres directly to see if they are recruiting for Supply Teachers. A - Z Hampshire Schools or Hampshire Children's Centres
Contact Independent Supply Agencies. The agencies below are part of the new Hampshire's Framework Arrangement 2010. Hampshire cannot accept responsibility for the recruitment of staff through these agencies however the selected agencies have a contract with Hampshire for the provision of supply staff to Schools and Children's Centres. Supply Teachers working through agencies will not be entitled to membership of the Teachers' Pension Scheme.

If you have any questions please contact us by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or telephone 023 8038 3537
Supply does not provide the supportive environment needed in your first year of teaching, and some agencies do not accept applications from NQTs. Hampshire schools are discouraged from employing NQTs for casual supply work as this prevents you from beginning your Induction Year.
While you may work on a supply basis through your own contact with individual schools, or through an agency that accepts NQTs, this will not count towards induction until the placement is for a term or more (even part-time) involving regular teaching of the same classes. In this case the school must start your induction. You should not be offered a supply placement lasting for a term or more that involves only day-to-day cover for absent teachers or PPA cover, as this would not allow you to begin induction.
Moreover, as an NQT you are only allowed to do casual supply teaching over a period of up to 16 months. The 'clock starts ticking' on the first day of your first supply post, and your entitlement to do supply work ceases 16 months after that date. After this time your next post must be one where you can undertake induction - unless there are exceptional circumstances allowing the Local Authority to extend your supply teaching. For more information see www.hants.gov.uk/education/eps/nqtinduction.

Ninja Slug: He LET Himself Be Discovered
The Ninja Slug is a newly discovered species of slug found in Borneo. I can only assume it wanted to be discovered BECAUSE YOU DON'T JUST RANDOMLY STUMBLE UPON NINJAS.
Boasting a tail three times the length of its head, the newly described long-tailed slug is found only in the high mountains of the Malaysian part of Borneo.
The new species shoots its mate with "love darts" made of calcium carbonate and spiked with hormones--hence its nickname: ninja slug. Scientists believe this Cupid-like behavior may increase reproduction success.
Love darts, I believe it. Because one time I filled a water balloon with "love" and threw it off the roof of my apartment building. Everything in California got pregnant.
