One thing is certain – Maryland is in a better place than we were just a few short years ago.
Commercial solar and residential solar continue to make large strides.
Maryland homeowners are sharing the investment benefits with neighbors and colleagues, while more events like the Wind & Solar Expo are becoming commonplace. Yet, there is still a goal in front of us to hit the 6% solar carve out.

Scientists identify how major biological sensor in the body works
2 / 0
http://www.physorg.com/news/2011-06-scientists-major-biologi...
A biological sensor is a critical part of a human cell's control system that is able to trigger a number of cell activities. A type of sensor known as the "gating ring" can open a channel that allows a flow of potassium ions through the cell's wall or membrane — similar to the way a subway turnstile allows people into a station.

A popular "get well" card shows a racoon saying to a snake, "You wouldn't get these stomach aches if you chewed your food properly." Vets know, however, that indigestion in snakes and other reptiles often results not from swallowing food whole but from a parasitic infection.
