Maine is a state of the United States that is named after the French province of Maine. Its U.S. postal abbreviation is ME.


USS Maine was named in honor of this state.


History

Originally settled in 1607, Maine became part of Massachusetts in 1652. Because it was physically separated from the rest of Massachusetts and was growing in population at a rapid rate, it became the 23rd state along with Missouri on March 15, 1820. This has become known as the Missouri Compromise because admitting both states into the union kept the balance between slave and free states. Maine's original capital was Portland until 1832, when it was moved to the more geographically central city of Augusta.


Law and Government

The capital of Maine is Augusta and its governor is John Baldacci (Democrat). Its two U.S. senators are Susan Collins (Republican) and Olympia Snowe (Republican).

In June of 2003, the Maine Legislature passed a comprehensive health insurance plan.
Maine's politics is notable for several reasons. In the 1930s it was one of very few states which remained in the control of the republican party. In the 1936 presidential election, Franklin Roosevelt received the electoral votes of all states other than Maine and Vermont. Also, Maine has received "third parties" (political parties other than the democrats and republicans) more favorably than most states). Maine has had two independent governors recently (James B. Longley from 1975 to 1979 and Angus King from 1995 to 2003). Neither could establish a viable political party and the state reverted to democratic or republican control after each of their administrations. But the reform party of Ross Perot achieved more success in Maine than in most states in the 1992 and 1996 presidential elections, and the green party candidate received 9% of the vote in the 2002 gubernotorial election, more than in any election for a statewide office for that party. Finally, many Maine republicans are noted for having more liberal views than most others in their party, as in other New England states.
Famous politicians from Maine include James Blaine, Edmund Muskie, William Cohen and George Mitchell.

Geography

See: List of Maine counties

To the south and east is the Atlantic Ocean, and to the northeast is New Brunswick, a province of Canada. The Canadian province of Quebec is to the northwest. Maine is the northernmost state in the New England region and the easternmost state in the country (the easternmost city in the United States is Eastport, Maine), bordered on the west by New Hampshire.  It is the only state that borders exactly one other state. The highest mountain is Mt. Katahdin and the largest lake is Moosehead Lake.

It is the most sparsely populated state east of the Mississippi River, owing in part to its relative size -- its land mass exceeds that of the other New England states combined.  It is appropriately called the "Pine Tree State", as 90 percent of its land is forest. West Quoddy Head is the country's easternmost piece of land. Along the famous rock-bound coast of Maine are lighthouses, sandy beaches, quiet fishing villages and thousands of offshore islands, including the Isles of Shoals, which straddles the state border. Jagged rocks and cliffs, and thousands of bays and inlets add to the rugged beauty of Maine's coast. Inland, there are sparkling lakes, rushing rivers, green forests and towering mountains. Maine's Acadia National Park is the only national park in New England, and the second most visited national park in the United States.


Economy

Maine's total gross state product for 1999 was $34 billion, placing it 43rd in the nation. Its Per Capita Personal Income for 2000 was $25,623, 36th in the nation. 

Maine's agricultural outputs are seafood, poultry and eggs, potatoes, dairy products, cattle, blueberries, and apples. Its industrial outputs are paper, lumber, and wood products, electric equipment, food processing, leather products, textiles, and tourism.


Demographics

As of 2000, the state's population was 1,274,923.

Me
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Me is a concept in the cosmology of Sumerian mythology which describes the discrete bestowal of each of the arts and sciences by the gods to humans.

In one poem, Inanna is described as meeting with Enki, the divine caretaker of the me, and getting him drunk in a plot to steal them from him (compare with the theft of fire by Prometheus in Greek mythology).


Me is also the prefix for Messerschmitt airplanes.

Windows Me
(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)

Windows Me (Millennium Edition) is a 32-bit graphical operating system released on September 14, 2000 by the Microsoft Corporation.

The new operating system was built upon Windows 95 and Windows 98. It mainly comprised relatively small upgrades such as Internet Explorer 5.5. One of the greatest improvements was the introduction of Windows Media Player 7, which was meant to rival RealPlayer, the dominant media player. However, both Internet Explorer 5.5 and Windows Media Player 7 could be downloaded free from the Internet.

Movie Maker was an entirely new program in the operating system. The program provided basic video editing and was designed to be easy to use for the home user.

The most significant change, however, was the complication of user access to legacy DOS functionality, and the introduction of the System Restore logging and reversion system in order to facilitate troubleshooting without having to resort to the commandline. In conception, this change was a big step forward: no longer would the user need knowledge of arcane DOS command-line skills to maintain and troubleshoot a system, though in practice, the lack of DOS functionality was a significant barrier to maintenance. In addition, System Restore caused a number of major problems: performance, which some regard as never being a Windows strength in the first place, was noticeably reduced due; it proved insufficiently robust to deal effectively with a number of common issues; and because it automatically recreated previous system states on every reboot, it made it very difficult for the non-expert user to implement a desired change, even a necessary one such as removing a virus or an unwanted program.

Skeptics were unimpressed with Windows Me, some claiming that it only deserved to be an upgrade to Windows 98, not a version in its own right, others calling it the worst Windows release since 3.0. Microsoft did not release a second edition of Windows Me.

Windows Me has been succeeded by Windows XP, Microsoft's first consumer desktop operating-system based on the technologically superior Windows NT kernel.

This unusual-looking lighthouse is built of curved cast-iron plates whose seams are cleverly disguised by six decorative Corinthian columns. Built in 1855 and rebuilt twenty years later, the lighthouse may have been the work of Thomas Ustick Walter, designer of the dome of the U.S. Capitol in Washington. The lighthouse's flashing red beacon helped guide ships from Casco Bay through the entrance to Portland Harbor. Wooden sheds and a six-room house for the lighthouse-keeper were added at a later date but have since been removed. The lighthouse itself was abandoned in 1943. Credit: Library of Congress.
