 About Lowell Observatory - History, Mission   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The mission of Lowell Observatory is to pursue the study of astronomy, especially the study of our solar system and its evolution; to conduct pure research in astronomical phenomena; and to maintain quality public education and outreach programs to bring the results of astronomical research to the general public.
In 1894, Percival Lowell, a mathematician and amateur astronomer from Massachusetts, was one of several astronomers in search of clearer skies through which to observe the planets and stars.
Although Percival Lowell founded the Observatory primarily to explore the possibility that intelligent life might exist on Mars, the Observatory's research expanded into other areas, resulting in one of its most important discoveries by V.M. Slipher: first evidence that the universe is expanding (1912 - 1917).

But Lowell, who has owned a horse or two in his 54 years, is betting on one thing: If a referendum proposal to allow video gambling fails on Nov. 7, the harness racing industry will lose big.
Question 3 on Maine's referendum ballot asks whether video lottery machines should be allowed at "certain" horse racing tracks if 40 percent of the profits are used for property tax relief.

Because of an ongoing labor shortage on Maine dairy farms, and because they are doing work that few Americans, it seems, are willing to do, the Ramirez brothers are likely the start of a trend.
As Maine's dairy industry moves farther into the 21st century, industry experts say, it likely will do so with a growing number of Hispanics milking its cows and cleaning its barns.
