Northern Force "FIRST
Robotics" Team 172
Gorham High School - Falmouth High School - Maine
Robotics and automation are a major part of life. Nearly
everything that is made uses some kind of automation or computer remote control.
People used to be afraid that robots would take away jobs, but the truth is that
someone has to think up robots, someone has to design them, someone has to build
them, and someone has to operate them. Right here in Maine, high school students
are thinking up robots, designing them, building them, and operating them. And
each year, a new team of students has an opportunity to put their skills to work
along side the nation's finest engineers. |

Sacred Heart / St. Dominic
Catholic Parish
on the corner of Sherman & Mellen Streets, Portland, Maine
The Sacred Heart / St. Dominic parish community is very
diverse, celebrating the Eucharist in two languages, English and Spanish and
occasionally also in French. Visitors to the coffee hours after Mass, and
various other social events that we host, will meet parishioners from just about
every continent of the world: Irish-Americans, Franco-Americans,
Hispanic-Americans, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Anglo-Americans. We are
refugees and asylum-seekers. Parishioners are long-time citizens and potential
ones. They are rich and poor. They are professionals and laborers. They come
together to relish each other's common faith in Jesus Christ, proclaiming "as
Christ is in solidarity with us, we are in solidarity with each other."

The
USS Thresher
a memorial web site
USS Thresher (SSN 593)
April 10, 1963 - 129 Men Lost
On the morning of April 10, 1963, the ship proceeded to conduct sea
trials about 200 miles off the coast of Cape Cod. At 9:13 a.m., the USS
Skylark (a surface vessel assigned to assist Thresher) received a signal,
via underwater telephone, indicating that the submarine was experiencing
“minor difficulties, have positive up-angle, attempting to blow.”
Shortly afterward, the Skylark received a series of garbled, undecipherable
message fragments from the Thresher. At 9:18 a.m., the Skylark’s sonar
picked up the sounds of the submarine breaking apart. All 129 hands were
lost—112 military and 17 civilian technicians.
The submarine community, the Navy and the nation were stunned. Thresher
was the best of the newest. The ship was built at the Portsmouth Naval
Shipyard in Kittery, Maine and was the first of a new class of submarine,
designed for optimum performance of sonar and weapons systems. |
