Are there websites or some sort of records that list abandoned/closed down graveyards in Maryland? My sister and I found a scattering of headstones and part of an iron gate on a walk through the woods, some of the dates on them were as early as 1860 or so. Almost all of the stones were cracked or fallen over, and the whole place was overgrown with trees and brambles and flowers. The odd thing is that it's right behind someone's back yard.

Resolved Question: Opinions on this story excerpt?

Typical girl just found out she's a princess story. Her best friend was kidnapped on her way to the castle. Just want to know if you can feel her contempt or is it melodramatic? When Nima woke the room was empty and bathed in the sun’s fading rays. She laid there going over all that had happened earlier in the day, willing it be a dream. She was Nima daughter of Linea and Thomas no more. Now she was Nima, Princess of lies and daughter of deceit. She’d rule her people with smoke screens and false pretenses. (skipped a few scenes) A princess, Nima was in some alternate universe where everyone thought she was… a princess. Maybe she was having a vivid dream like Dorothy, and if she clicked her heels together she’d wake up in her bed in Ellicott City, Maryland, a place where if you pulled out a map you could point to it and say, “I live here. Want to visit sometime?” But of course this was no dream but a strange reality. A princess. Nima repeated the word numerous times, but it never felt comfortable in her mouth. It was more like popping a red candy hoping it was cherry, but finding it to be a cough drop instead. And there was Cat, dragged off in by people bent on doing her harm. If Nima was a princess in a world with castles, kings, and queens, then where was Cat’s knight in shining armor? Where was the man who would slay a dragon to save her life? Hidden behind excuses like we’ll find her and the king will know what to do. Risa returned with the water and filled the basin. Nima washed her face over and over until her skin had been scrubbed raw, until her soul was free of any emotional ties to those she once called family, until the only emotion left was contempt for all that once was and all that could never be. Maybe a normal girl would find the news of being a princess riveting, but Nima would not be riveted. She would be marble like the sink, present but not alive. Who could force her to be otherwise? Nima selected a pale pink dress from the wardrobe. The garment slid easily over her skin, caressing every curve. It was like wearing air. As she was tying up her shoe’s there was a knock at the door and Rose entered. She was wearing a slight smile that Nima returned with a blank look. “I’ve come to escort you to dinner.” On exiting the room Rose offered Nima her right arm and a wider smile. They walked down the hall in silence, Nima feigning interest in the artwork they passed. Her heart was thudding fast against her ribcage. The heat from Rose’s body seeped through the layers of fabric to warm Nima’s arm until she felt that it was a hot kettle that would soon burn her if it were not removed in time. “Do you like the dress? I was unsure of your measurements but I had the palace seamstress send over a selection.” Rose’s voice was soft as if she were whispering a secret only Nima was allowed to know. “They will need to be taken in, but we will get to that another time.” Nima thought that the dress was ugly on principle. The collar threatened to suffocate her and the sleeves were like shackles. “It’s beautiful. Thank you,” Nima replied in a whisper of her own. For a moment only the clicking of their shoes filled the hallway. The silence weighed heavily on Nima, threatening to overwhelm her eardrums and cause them to explode. more

Resolved Question: Please rank by best Biology program. University of Maryland College Park, UMBC, or Towson?

My biggest goal and passion is to get into Medical school. Please rank the colleges in order from best to worst in terms of getting into medical school. Also my stats: - 1730 SAT - 3.3 GPA - Asian American Male. Went to Centennial High School in Ellicott City, MD. (considered a very good school in terms of academics). - I will be majoring in Biology - I'm pretty sure that most will say University of Maryland - College Park since its most popular but telling from my stats, I'm on the edge about whether or not I will get in. If I decide to go to one of the other 2 colleges, should I transfer to college park after a year or two in order to have a better chance of medical school admission or will the other 2 colleges still be good enough for me to get into medical school. BTW: (I understand that my grades and mcats make the most difference on medical school admission but I'm just wondering about the collge selection part of the process.) Thanks to anyone and everyone who answers!Well if the school doesnt matter, then wont it be easier to get better grades in UMBC rather than College Park? And if College park does give me the overall better chance to get into medical school, then after how many semesters should I transfer there? more

Resolved Question: What do you think of impact illegal immigrants DUI has on Americans?Hit-and-run, 2 Americans die.?

Guatemalan man who is in the United States illegally was arrested early Tuesday on hit-and-run charges after a traffic accident that killed two Baltimore-area men and injured three other highway construction workers on the side of U.S. 29 in Montgomery County, police said. The crash just over the Howard County line was the latest in a series of fatal traffic accidents involving illegal immigrant drivers in Maryland. It also added two names to the list of highway workers killed in on-the-job crashes recently. James Cronin, 37, of the 7200 block of Judy Road in Glen Burnie, was flown to Maryland Shock Trauma Center on Monday in critical condition and died late Tuesday morning, according to Officer Melanie Hadley, a spokeswoman for the Montgomery County Police Department. The previous day, Martin Ruffin, 30, of the 1800 block of Moreland Ave. in West Baltimore, was pronounced dead at the scene of the 1 p.m. crash. Three others were taken to hospitals with injuries. Montgomery police said the driver of a white Ford Econoline fled on foot after plowing into a construction truck and hitting the workers, who were sitting on a guardrail taking a break. Manuel De Jesus Gonzalez-Geronimo, 31, of Hyattsville turned himself in to Prince George's County police about 12:30 a.m. Tuesday, authorities said. Gonzalez-Geronimo was turned over to Montgomery County police and charged with failure to remain at the scene of a collision involving death and bodily injury and with driving without a license, police said. At a hearing Tuesday, he was ordered held without bond at the Montgomery Detention Center. Lucille Baur[CQ], another Montgomery police spokeswoman, said that Gonzalez-Geronimo said during the hearing that he is an undocumented worker from Guatemala. The crash was one of several recent fatalities in Maryland for which illegal immigrants face charges.The crash was one of several recent fatalities in Maryland for which illegal immigrants face charges. In May, 20-year-old Mark Watson, a University of Maryland sophomore from Ellicott City, was killed in a hit-and-run crash in College Park. Police charged Never L. Navar ro-Montoya, 24, an illegal Mexican immigrant who had no driver's license, with driving under the influence of alcohol, fleeing the scene of an accident and possessing a false government identification. In November, Eduardo Raul Morales-Soriano, an illegal Mexican immigrant who lived in Laurel, was indicted on charges of manslaughter and negligent homicide while under the influence after a Thanksgiving night crash at Routes 175 and 108, records show. Jennifer Bower, 24, of Montgomery County and Marine Cpl. Brian Mathews, 21, of Columbia were killed. The trial is set for Sept. 18. Monday's accident also provided a grim reminder of the dangers of working on Maryland's highways. The issue of drivers' licenses for illegal immigrants has become a flash point in many states, including Maryland, where the General Assembly regularly debates legislation that would close the doors of the Motor Vehicle Administration to those who can't prove their legal status. Maryland is one of eight states that issue driver's licenses to foreign-born residents regardless of their immigration status. Immigrants' rights advocates contend that issuing licenses to illegal immigrants encourages safer driving because it subjects immigrants to testing. But critics of immigration contend that border security comes first. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/bal-crash0814,0,2798315.story more
