* I apologize if this is the wrong forum, I was not sure whether to put this thread here or not, went with my gut feeling.* So, I am going to keep this back story portion of the thread short to get to the main portion. I am an incoming Class of 2013 senior and enrolled in a program through the local BOCES (an Education center in my city). It allows me to take three classes at my High School, followed by taking classes at a college, along with an internship role and community service. For the community service role, I decided to work on a fundraiser for GKTW and raise money for them through the Power of 10 Fundraiser. The problem is, I need to start planning this summer so it can be approved at the start of September by my supervisor. And thus, I was hoping people here, with a bit more experience than myself in this aspect, would be willing to lend a helping hand. My one main idea that I have is using the six schools in my district to raise money and possibly incorporate a few prizes (paid for my me, out of my own money) into the process. But I'm not sure.
Hi Mike, You have come to the right place!! I guess what you need to decide is what event or thing you want to do to raise money... There are lots of options to raise funds whether it be a change drive, One school did a Disney day where students paid $1 and could were something Disney to school (Not sure that would work for high school but maybe a hat day or something else they may not get to wear) I remember in high school we raised money by doing something called Kiss a Fish. We got 5 teachers to agree they would "Kiss a Fish" (I don't remember if it was alive or not) if they raised the most money. There were jars out at lunch for each teacher and people put spare change in to "Vote" for who they wanted to Kiss the fish. Silly I know but we raised a few hundred dollars and even the teachers got in on it. You can also ask people the do the original idea of this fundraiser, find 10 friends to donate $10... not hard and then you can out everyone who does its name in a hat for prizes. For our New England fundraiser this year we are doing an entire weekend of fun with Silent Auction and Penny Auctions (You should come... it will give you some good ideas) We are doing a pancake breakfast and day at the big E. Our Event last year we rented out a movie theatre for a showing of Cars 2 and charged everyone $10. We got the theatre to donate the space and we opened our own concession stand. That part of the day raised over $2,000 of the $10,000 total we raised. Business are happy yo donate product so you should not have to buy prizes.. Just ask around. If you want the letter we used PM me your email and i am happy to send it. Let me know if you have any other questions or need help!! Good Luck!! Tara
Good for you!!!! I am hosting the Nova Scotia Meet/Fundraiser. I was very unsure of the response that I would get way up here and pondered on whether or not we could pull off a meet for a long time. I decided to go for it and contacted a local restaurant/pub, set a date and then kinda went "wow what next". What has worked so far for me is that I gave up 2 coffee that I used to buy and People magazine each week. That gave me roughly $10.00. The first week, I bought a princess bag, hair set, play dough and colouring set. I had a wand and crown that I bought and never used from Halloween - voila - a princess prize for a silent auction. Things fell into place and we have almost sold out of tickets (at $10.00 each) and I have some wonderful prizes for a silent auction and a penny auction. Our event is 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon. My husband is a musician/songwriter. He and a buddy are playing for an hour and he is writing a song about the event/GKTW. We have a recording studio in the basement, so they are going to pre-record all of the songs that they will be doing, including the original and we have bought some CD's that we will sell. Once you put your mind to it and review what resources that you might have, things will fall into place. I, like Tara have a team helping that are amazing, so you may want to recruit a few friends. Something like that on a resume is good for any student. Good Luck.

[edit] Surface Mount Soldering Workshop
When: TBD
Where: Noisebridge, 83C Wiese, San Francisco, CA 94103
What: Learn to solder with surface mount parts! -- All parts and tools provided
Recommended for: peoople who have soldered at least one project,
such as people who've made something at one of Noisebridge's weekly Circuit Hacking Mondays.
Now that you know how to solder, why not learn to solder tiny little circuits? Those tiny little parts you see if you open up most modern electronics are called Surface Mount Devices, or SMD. They are designed for machines to put together, but with a few tricks you can learn solder small circuits using these parts as well.
Mitch Altman and Martin Bogomolni and others will show their tricks.
Mitch will bring hackable kits that uses surface mounts for you to solder (they are a mini TV-B-Gone remote control).
Feel free to bring your own project to solder.
We will also have a demonstration of how to use a toaster oven to circuits with surface mount parts.
All tools and parts are provided. I ask that people reimburse me for my cost of the parts, if you use them -- about $15.
Please add your name below if you are interested in doing the workshop (no committment implied):
- Mitch Altman
- Nils, interested in using provided parts
- Dylan, interested in using provided parts
- Ani, interested in learning stuff.
- Rachel, oh yeah, bring on the tinies!
- Jeff, has worked a lot with a hotplate and microscope and can talk about it.
- Charlie, interested in learning and using provided parts
- Eric, who does lots of soldering at work and seriously needs to learn better SM techniques
- David Stainton
- Don, interested in learning about soldering and desoldering SMT
- Miloh
- Ross
- OMas
- Ian, I'm trying to get back into soldering and want to get into SMD too.

Was very pleased with the qulity. Very easy to handle, dries you hair quickly.
my niece loves it...was a gift to her.....she could really tell you more .... I have used rusk products in the business and have always found them reliable.
Lightweight, powerful. Dries hair quickly without damage. Numerous heat settings. Very happy with purchase. Bought one for daughter who also really likes it.
I purchased two of these dryers for my daughters as Christmas gifts, based on other reviews. Both girls wanted a dryer similar to the one I have had for years - a professional dryer I received from a friend who is a cosmetologist. The dryer I have is a true stylist's dryer so my girls have been spoiled by the 'good stuff' when it comes to drying their hair. My problem is that they were always using mine! This dryer like a stylist's dryer has multiple settings for versatility and works well with curly, wavy and straight hair. I can say that because all three of us represent each kind of hair and we have all used it. If I could make one thing different - as the thin, straight haired person - I wish the low setting was a little lower. I prefer a little less air flow, but I will say it is still workable and leaves the hair in great shape - a more sleek look and feel than compared to the $20 dryer off the shelf. This dryer is so nice that I have used my daughter's rather than use the one I have! The tables are turned! Thanks, Overstock!
Feels like a jet engine blowing on my head, but I love the way my hair looks and feels afterward. It's very soft and silky, but still has enough texture to hold a style. I can't vouch for longevity, but I love it so far!

Rays aim to even series in Detroit behind Cobb
Tigers look to keep momentum going behind Smyly
Alex Cobb hasn't pitched a ton at Comerica Park, but when he has, well, the Tigers probably wished he hadn't. The Rays right-hander has limited Detroit batters to one run over 13 1/3 innings in two starts as a visitor, including 7 2/3 shutout frames last season.
Cobb will try to continue that trend Friday night when he takes the mound against the Tigers opposite left-hander Drew Smyly. The Rays will look to even the four-game series after Detroit took the opener, 8-1, on Thursday night after a five-run first inning. It was the Tigers' 12th win in 14 games.
Cobb will try to halt that run.
"This place is really fun to pitch in just because it's such a big park," Cobb said. "It is a good mound, too."
This Cobb, though, is a little different than the one who shut down Detroit last summer. He has been inconsistent throughout 2014, and especially during June, during which he posted a 5.35 ERA and 1.43 WHIP.
In his most recent start, Cobb -- who owns a 4.20 ERA and 1.24 WHIP on the season -- allowed the Orioles' four runs (three earned) in five innings.
"Fastball location's got to get better. With my offspeed playing out of the zone, I have to get more respect out of my fastball. Then I can start getting guys to chase a little bit," Cobb said. "It's a mechanical thing, I'd have to put it in that category. I don't know if it's mechanical because of mental or if it's mechanical because of physical. That's something I'm trying to figure out. It could be that I didn't give enough respect to the fact that I was out for a month [with a strained left oblique]."
Smyly has had a better season overall, posting a 3.57 ERA and 1.36 WHIP. He snapped his streak of four consecutive quality starts his last time out when the Astros reached him for four runs on eight hits in just 2 1/3 innings. The four runs matched the total he had allowed in his previous four starts spanning 25 innings.
The team revealed afterward that Smyly was batting an upper respiratory infection. He's feeling better now -- though not completely healthy -- and got in his regular work between starts.
"He said he's feeling a lot better," Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said. "He's still got a little bit of a raspy voice, so I don't think it's completely gone, but he said he was feeling OK."
In five careers appearances (two starts) against Tampa, Smyly has allowed four runs in 11 innings while striking out 13.
Rays: Forsythe on a tear
With a top-notch right-hander in the form of Max Scherzer on the mound Thursday, second baseman Logan Forsythe -- a .229/.278/.265 hitter against righties -- took a seat while Cole Figueroa started at second and in the No. 9 hole.
Forsythe and his hot bat, though, could find their way back into the lineup against Smyly, a left-hander. Forsythe is batting .278/.326/.430 against southpaws, and .455 with a 1.148 OPS overall since June 16. He's raised his average from .178 to .253 in that span.
It took a little while, but Forsythe is making the most of his first full Major League season. The Rays acquired him from the Padres in January in a trade that saw hurlers Jesse Hahn and Alex Torres go to San Diego.
Tigers: Krol nearing return
Ian Krol called it a dead arm. The Tigers called it shoulder inflammation. Either way, it's closer and closer to becoming a non-issue for the left-handed reliever, who is scheduled to pitch an inning Friday night for low Class A West Michigan.
Krol will then pitch again Sunday, and if all goes well could come off the disabled list on Tuesday when Detroit hosts the Dodgers for a two-game set.
On the season, his second in the big leagues and first with the Tigers, Krol owns a 4.32 ERA and 1.52 WHIP. He has been on the DL since June 21, a transaction that was preceded by a bout with ineffectiveness. Krol allowed seven runs on eight hits (three homers) in three innings over the course of four games before hitting the DL.
Worth noting
• Before Thursday, the Rays and Tigers had not met since June 2013. The teams split the series 3-3 last season.
• Ausmus said Thursday he's OK with Tigers hitters -- namely Miguel Cabrera and Victor Martinez -- participating in the Home Run Derby.
"I find it hard to believe that one round of batting practice is going to ruin your swing for the next three months," Ausmus said. "I guess if you advance, it's more."
• Tampa Bay left-hander Cesar Ramos, who threw 53 pitches in 3 1/3 innings of one-run relief on Thursday, could be out for a couple of days -- but not to rest. He's due to take a paternity leave, as his wife, Melanie, "is due any second now," according to Rays manager Joe Maddon.

NORTHUMBERLAND -- By next December, the Dix Bridge in Northumberland is projected to be fully rehabilitated and revamped for use by hikers, bikers and snowmobilers.
The bridge -- with a 426-foot span -- crosses the Hudson River near Hudson Crossing Park, just north of Schuylerville at Champlain Canal Lock 5. Once it is open, the bridge will be the local crossing for the 546-mile-long state Canalway Trail.
Plans for the project have been in the works for close to 10 years. The bridge work -- expected to cost $2.4 million -- is being funded primarily by the federal government. An 80 percent federal grant was awarded in 2009, and $300,000 was provided on behalf of the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.
A local mill owner constructed the iron-truss bridge in 1895 after he became frustrated with tolls to cross neighboring bridges.
In the mid-1990s, after more than a century of use, the state Department of Transportation closed Dix Bridge due to structural damage to its underwater piers.
The DOT flagged the bridge for removal, which would have cost roughly
$1 million. Instead, numerous organizations and individuals pushed to refurbish the deteriorated bridge and create a multi-modal, linear park for people enjoying the outdoors. The bridge is now on the National Historic Register.
The site's historical significance dates back to before the bridge was built. In 1777, during the American Revolution, British Gen. John Burgoyne and his troops crossed the Hudson there in what became known as "Burgoyne's Bridge of Boats."
George Hodgson is a Northumberland town councilman and a retired environmental planner for Saratoga County who has been instrumental in the Dix Bridge project from its inception, nearly 10 years ago.
Hodgson assembled the application for the county when officials were looking for a contractor to fix Dix Bridge.
Tioga Construction Co. of Herkimer submitted the winning bid, $2.4 million, last fall.
Because Saratoga County agreed to match $700,000, federal funds became available to pay for the rest of the rehabilitation.
The construction company will reduce the width of the bridge and lay a suitable material on top of the bridge's metal surface.
"The rehabilitation of the bridge is a key element to make that connection to make it a bi-county park between Washington and Saratoga counties," Hodgson said.
Andrew Alberti, the program manager for the Lakes to Locks Passage scenic byway, said his nonprofit organization is committed to giving visitors historical information without disrupting the natural beauty of the area.
Lakes to Locks Passage informs travelers about historically relevant sites by using barcodes that can be scanned with smartphones so it avoids littering the view with signs.
The Dix bridge is owned by Saratoga and Washington counties.

Aces wild in Cincinnati as Greinke, Latos clash
Right-handers each in midst of dominant runs as Reds host Dodgers
The Dodgers have the luxury of a comfortable lead in their division, but the Reds do not.
Cincinnati is locked in a tight race in the National League Central, chasing Pittsburgh and St. Louis. So the Reds understand the importance of each game over the final three weeks of the regular season.
"It's September, and every day is a big game," said Reds third baseman Todd Frazier before the Reds' 3-2 win in the opener. "You have to understand that we have to win. We got a good shot. It's just going to be a fun race."
For the Reds to keep pace in Central, they will have to go through Dodgers ace and former division foe Zack Greinke on Saturday in the second game of a three-game series at Great American Ball Park.
Greinke has been in top form over the past five weeks, and he's 6-0 with a 1.42 ERA in his last seven starts. The Dodgers are 19-4 this season when the former Cy Young Award winner gets the ball. Greinke, a former Brewers standout, is 4-1 lifetime against the Reds, with a 2.57 ERA in seven starts.
The Dodgers could clinch the NL West as early as next week. Los Angeles is 26 games over .500, 36-10 in the second half and 53-15 since June 22.
But the Reds aren't getting caught up in those numbers.
"The key is just outplay them," said Reds manager Dusty Baker. "Don't see the numbers on the back. Don't read about how great they are. Don't care about what their payroll is. On paper, they're supposed to beat everybody. But you don't play the game on paper."
Like Greinke, Reds starter Mat Latos will also be in search of his 15th win on Saturday. Latos has won six of his past eight decisions and has a 1.83 ERA over his last eight outings.
Dodgers: Puig returns to lineup
Yasiel Puig was back in the starting lineup on Friday for the first time since Monday after dealing with discomfort behind his right knee. The rookie started in right field, legged out an infield single in his first at-bat and finished the game 1-for-4 with a run scored.
"We wouldn't put him out there if we didn't think he was good to go," said manager Don Mattingly. "He says he's good to go. Training staff says he's OK. So, he's back."
• Matt Kemp suffered a setback while rehabbing from a sprained left ankle, as his troublesome right hamstring tightened up on Thursday at the Dodgers' Spring Training facility in Glendale, Ariz. Kemp, who subsequently was shut down, strained the same hamstring back in May and spent time on the disabled list.
Mattingly said there's a possibility Kemp, limited to 62 games this year, will not return this season.
"I don't like to concede anything," the manager said. "If the hamstring jumps back in there, we've got more issues."
Reds: Choo finding ways to get on base
Reds outfielder Shin-Soo Choo went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored on Friday, and has reached base safely in each of his past 13 games. Choo is also the Major League leader among leadoff hitters with 20 home runs, 95 walks and a .421 on-base percentage.
"Very good ballplayer, and he's getting better," Baker said. "I told Choo he hasn't scratched the surface on what he's capable of doing."
• Brandon Phillips was able to start Friday's game despite a contusion in his left quad that forced the second baseman from Thursday's contest in the seventh inning. Phillips went 1-for-4 and was removed for a pinch-runner in the eighth.
"It's like a knot in my quad right now, but other than that, the more I just keep moving, it will loosen up," Phillips said.
Worth noting
• The Dodgers have won 17 of their past 22 series.
• Reds first baseman Joey Votto is 6-for-19 (.316) lifetime against Greinke, with one double and three homers.

Sure we'll have problems when the program is young. Only hope it doesn't go beyond the current issues. I am not qualified to comment on design issues. I only fly the damn thing (of beauty).
The merciless market is responsible for angst in every part of the industry. Huyu, mentions that she/he would prefer to travel on version 2.1. I think we need to wait for 'outsourcing 2.1' There's nothing like prior experience in the world of high tech, and often vendors are unable to adhere to the agreed upon standard despite the best intentions. Am mildly surprised that it happened with a Company built on a bedrock of safety consciousness. Maybe they needed a different yardstick. Am sure they'll find that second wind and pull through.

The natural fill bristle is the thickest we have seen in some time from any floor brush. More bristle on the floor delivers better performance and single pass cleaning efficiency. Natural fill bristles are preferred for hard floor cleaning and the softer fill provides superior kinetic action on both smooth and uneven floor types including natural stone, tile, laminates and wood floors.
The D320 hard floor brush also features outboard roller wheels on steel axels which do allow usage on textile floors, though the D320 is primarily designed for hard surfaces. The true advantage of outboard rollers is the connection with the softer natural fill bristle set that provides such good cleaning action. Many floor brushes that have no wheels use synthetic fill bristle which is very firm.
The softer natural fill uses the outboard rollers for support to keep the nozzle from bending the fill with heavy usage. Bent bristles can result in the nozzle getting buried into the floor which severely reduces the airflow and cleaning action. The D320's wheels keep the nozzle at a perfect height from the floor which puts the right amount of natural fill in contact with the surface no matter the pressure or angle at which you vacuum.
The large intake orifice provides excellent airflow through the nozzle and allows you to vacuum larger soils without clogging. The soft poly housing is gentle on furniture and base boards and will not mar those surfaces or the flooring. An more firm blend of material is used in construction of the swivel connector that attaches to the vacuum wand. The connector features a full 360° swivel that allows you to steer the brush as you clean and rotate the brush in any direction needed to reach the area to be cleaned, even under low furniture or beds. The connection system is standard 1.25" (32mm) friction fitting that connects to all domestic central vacuum wands, with or without a button lock. The D320 also fits most domestic canister vacuums and backpack vacuums using standard 1.25" residential tool sets. An outstanding addition to the popular D300 and D360 floor brushes from Wessel-Werk, the new D320 offers a wider intake throat, a more plush natural fill bristle set and a lower airflow noise design with legendary Wessel-Werk performance and quality.
Sold 1 floor brush each, 1.25" (32mm) friction fit connector. Black color case with natural fill bristle.

Underpaint Corrosion Modelling
T. Machado Amorim, and C. AllélyArcelorMittal Research and Development, Automotive Products Center, Maizières les Metz, France
Underpaint corrosion is one of the most important degradation modes for galvanized steel sheets employed in automotive and building industry. Simplified systems (metal coated with thin polymer layer) under corrosion situations have been studied in the past few years and it is now widely accepted that one of the mechanisms responsible for the paint disbonding is cathodic delamination.
In this work, a mathematical model has been developed to simulate the transient propagation of the cathodic delamination on a simplified zinc-polymer coated model system placed in stationary corrosion conditions.
The results in terms of delamination rate and pH evolution in the confined zone obtained from this 2D model are in good agreement with literature data and experimental trials.

I want to thank Buford Child Development Center. The teachers, Judy Jackson and Aubrey Adams, have been very helpful in helping Hailey Altman get ready for kindergarten. They have gotten her well rounded academically and socially. Hailey loves her teachers. We are proud of her and them.
Kathy Ferrill Lancaster
Thank you Grady Robinson of Heath Springs for your timely letter "Where did you go, Uncle Sam?" in the May 29, 2011 edition of The Lancaster News. I enjoyed Mr. Robinson's letter so much, gosh, I wish I had written it. I think it's time we remembered our past and the symbols which were used to display our resolve.
South Carolina has one of the weakest governors in the nation, going back to post-reconstruction and the Constitution of 1895. However, the one aspect of the office in which the governor has full power or parity with other states is in the area of commerce and economic development. Why then will Gov. Nikki Haley not take a stand on the economic importance of Amazon's location in South Carolina?
I would like to address Lancaster County Council members: How do you expect people to pay more property taxes and road fees when they can't afford to feed themselves. Steve Willis, if you don't lose your county administrator job when Lancaster County goes broke, are you going to pay the extra $5 road fee for everyone? Why doesn't council work as hard to bring jobs to Lancaster as it does trying to squeeze everyone for more money?
Jean Melton Lancaster
I read about proposed tax increases and it appears that again government thinks that the Obama propaganda about the recesssion being over is true. Foreclosures continue, sales lag, home values continue to drop, unemployment remains very high as do oil prices and the federal debt ceiling has been hit.
I personally think homeowners pay enough taxes on their property. Lancaster County Council should look for ways elsewhere for the extra money they feel like they need. The federal government feels that the cost of living hasn't increased therefore senior citizens who depend mostly on Social Security for their income haven't received a raise in more than two years and I understand that we won't get one this year either.
I would like to address an issue with Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile. I think it is pretty bad when you will no longer provide an officer escort for a funeral. It is bad enough when people don't respect a funeral line to stop when they meet one. But to not have an officer at intersections and stoplights has just about hit the bottom of the bucket. Not everyone can afford to hire an officer to guide traffic for them. Pete Melton Lancaste
I attended Andrew Jackson High School graduation on May 27. That was the most well-carried out graduation I have ever attended. I commend Principal Mary Barry, the faculty and students for their roles. The AJ graduation was done with respect to the principal, faculty, students and the guests who attended the event. Thank you, Andrew Jackson High School.

Statism will not work anywhere, now or ever
Everywhere one looks, statism is an abject failure. Look and compare Venezuela with Chile, Cuba with Colombia, North Korea to South Korea. Just look at the United Kingdom in 1950 and compare it to itself in 1990.
The union riots in Europe were not to embrace socialism, but to find someone somewhere to somehow pay for their unsupportable benefits. They believe that the "someone" is probably on some hedonistic island somewhere with a vault of cash to pay for it all.
In order to save on costs, students should be given an option to take courses online through the state's online Provost Academy. Some underprivileged students and those with disciplinary issues may benefit from enrolling in the state's online program of study.

Herman Miller: George Nelson
Herman Miller Nelson Large Outdoor Table, Low Height
More Colors
Free Inside Delivery & Assembly
George Nelson's Furniture is Available at Smart Furniture
Herman Miller set itself apart from the rest of the furniture industry in the mid-20th century by cultivating relationships with people like George Nelson. Among Nelson's accomplishments are the first modular storage system, the idea for the pedestrian mall, and the Swag Leg chair and table group. A close friend of Herman Miller founder DJ DePree, Nelson once said of his firm "is not playing follow-the-leader." It was this openness towards creativity and innovation that led to such a successful relationship between the savvy designer and the unique manufacturer.
The Swag Leg Group
One of George Nelson's most cherished designs is a collection of chairs, tables, and desks known as the Swag Leg Group, whose curved metal legs have a sculptured appearance. To make these pieces, Nelson used a process called "swaging" - a technique involving pressure to cause the tapering of metal tubes. The Swag Leg Chairs feature a molded plastic seat, while the Swag Leg Tables and desk feature a white laminate or walnut surface with walnut stretchers.
The Coconut Chair
"It was developed to give lounge seating comfort together with great freedom of movement." - George Nelson
Truly original. Leave it to Nelson to design a chair shaped like the shard of a coconut. The Coconut Chair has a one-piece foam rubber cushion that can be sat in dozens (hundreds?) of different ways. This inviting cushion rests on a molded plastic shell.
The Marshmallow Sofa
They don't come much more whimsical than this, and something this striking was never this comfortable. The Marshmallow Chair has 18 removable cushions that come together to create a totally unique appearance.
Nelson Benches
Available in 3 different sizes, the Nelson Bench is perfect for just about anywhere in your home. It fits right in in foyers, living rooms, and home offices.

Gov. Martin O'Malley plans to reintroduce a bill to provide funding for an offshore wind farm — legislation that has twice failed to make it out of the General Assembly, an administrations spokeswoman said Wednesday.
"We're hoping to introduce something similar to last year," said spokeswoman Takkira Winfield, noting that the details of the bill are still being hammered out.
"I had worked with the governor's people on how to get that extra vote in my committee, and I think he's optimistic that he has the votes to pass the bill," said Sen. Thomas McLain Middleton (D-Dist. 28) of Waldorf, chairman of the Finance Committee, where O'Malley's bill died last year.
Sen. Catherine E. Pugh (D-Dist. 40) of Baltimore, who opposed the bill last session, said she continues to have questions.
"I hope [the bill] in improved from the last time I saw it, but I still have concerns," Pugh said, including whether minority businesses would be involved in the development of offshore farms.
"We're asking the public, everyone, to pay to jump-start this industry," Pugh said. "There ought to be some inclusiveness in ownership, given the diversity of the state."
Also, Pugh said, she would like to see more movement on studying the state's natural gas reserves, which are currently sitting idle due to an executive order stalling permits for drilling using hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. The controversial procedure pumps water and chemicals into the rock formations where gas is trapped.
Extensive studies on the health and environmental effects must be done before the state will issue permits, according to the executive order, but no funding mechanism for the studies has been proposed.
"Natural gas is going to lower utility bills more than any other method," Pugh said. "It's a job creator, and I would like to see Maryland get in on it."
Sen. E.J. Pipkin (R-Dist. 36) of Elkton, also on tshe Finance Committee, said he also would like to see O'Malley proceed on natural gas.
"The governor has got to have higher priorities in his portfolio than wasting billions of dollars on the most expensive form of energy there is," Pipkin said.
"Since this was originally introduced, the price of natural gas has plummeted, making wind energy make even less economic sense ... We need to take a hard look at natural gas."
