Washington County Government - Established in 1776 and named for then Gen. George Washington, our county's history reflects the history of our nation. Among our many historical sites are:
• a fort built in 1756 for use during the French and Indian War,
• a city founded by a German immigrant in 1762,
• a battlefield strewn with 23,000 dead and wounded soldiers in 1862,
• a highway, a canal, and later a railroad that helped to open up the frontier and further westward expansion.
These treasures and many others secure Washington County's place of honor in American history. Our 458 square miles contain 3 National Parks, 7 State Parks, 14 County Parks, and numerous City and Town Parks. But perhaps our greatest treasures are 24 graceful stone arch bridges built between 1819 and 1863. http://www.washco-md.net

Convention & Visitors Bureau - It's no coincidence that remarkable things happen here. Our Civil War sites are a mecca for history buffs across the nation. But what you might not know is that we have great golf and upscale shopping, restaurants, museums, theater and a host of superb hotel and meeting facilities. All the ingredients for a memorable visit await you, all wrapped in a ribbon of historic charm.  http://marylandmemories.org

Herceptin.com - Herceptin is a type of biological therapy for breast cancer. Biological therapy uses the body's own immune system to act on cancer cells - while leaving healthy cells unaffected. Theoretically, this approach minimizes side effects. The idea is to use antibodies to attack cancer cells. One such antibody is Herceptin, which is a monoclonal (meaning single) antibody. An antibody is a protein made by the body's own immune system. Herceptin is believed to act in three ways to stop cancer cells from growing quickly and out of control.
• It sticks to special receptors on the cancer cells, stopping them from growing
• It signals the body's own natural killer cells to attack the cancer cells
• It can work with chemotherapy medications, stopping cancer cells damaged by chemo from repairing themselves. www.herceptin.com
