"These were large and challenging applications that required extremely precise temperature and humidity control of their processes," he added. "One order actually replaced Cleanroom Systems equipment that had been running non-stop on a production line since 1988. On all the jobs, our engineers refined specifications, customized cabinetry, and supervised installation and commissioning."
The Cleanroom Systems product portfolio includes standard and made-to-order modular systems from one-half to 24-ton capacities. Brands include HEPAir and AdvancAir products. HEPAiR equipment is available in standard or customized horizontal configurations and offers stable control of temperature, humidity, pressure and filtration for all cleanroom applications. Options include integrated stainless steel humidifiers, pre-filtration, re-heaters, ultra-violet sterilization, duct collars, and PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controls. AdvancAir products are custom built for critical control of temperature to as precise as +/- 0.008° C and of humidity to +/- 0.5% RH, in addition to filtration and pressure. AdvancAir products can be configured in "cubes" that can be installed either horizontally or vertically depending on the OEM's application needs. A choice of cooling media (direct expansion refrigerant or chilled water), integrated humidification (immersed element or ultrasonic) and filtration (high efficiency, ultra low or chemical) can be specified.
Cleanroom Systems equipment is self-contained and made of high-quality stainless steel or powder coated aluminum for durability. Multiple supply, return and make-up air opening locations offer ductwork accessibility and unit location flexibility. All units are factory pre-tested at simulated loading conditions to minimize on-site start-up. Cleanroom Systems offers prototyping, small runs and mass production, with design and manufacturing located in Syracuse, NY. Cleanroom Systems equipment is available for international operation and is certified to ETL, UL, CSA, CE, ANSI or SEMI safety and performance standards. AdvancAir products also serve as direct replacement for Clestra Cleanroom equipment built prior to 1999.

Box Score | Box Score (PDF) | 2012 UCLA Media Guide
LOS ANGELES - Kevin Williams belted a two-out solo walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth inning, as the No. 9 UCLA baseball team erased a 5-0 deficit and defeated No. 11 Arizona State, 6-5, in each team's Pac-12 opener Friday night at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Williams' homer keyed a wild celebration at home plate, as UCLA (14-3, 1-0 Pac-12) earned its 12th consecutive win. Williams went 2-for-4 with two runs and one RBI, while four other UCLA hitters each tallied two hits.
Jake Barrett (1-2) absorbed the loss for Arizona State (11-6, 0-1 Pac-12), allowing one solo home run after recording the first two outs in the bottom of the ninth.
"I had two strikes on me, and he was throwing the ball hard," Williams said. "The pitch was elevated a little bit, and I put a good swing on it. I thought it might go out, and thought I hit it decently."
UCLA starting pitcher Adam Plutko retired 14 consecutive batters after surrendering five runs off three hits in the top of the third inning. Plutko did not record a decision, allowing five runs and four hits in 7.1 innings.
Grant Watson threw one scoreless inning in relief of Plutko, and David Berg (2-0) earned his second victory of the season, making five pitches to record the final two outs in the top of the ninth.
Arizona State starting pitcher Brady Rodgers stifled UCLA through the first five innings, allowing one baserunner via an infield single in the second inning. Rodgers allowed five runs (four earned) in the sixth inning and did not record a decision. He pitched eight innings, surrendering five runs and 10 hits while striking out two.
"It's a big team win for us," Williams said. "We got a big opportunity in that five-run inning, and we kept chipping away like we always do. We had several quality at-bats and got back in the game. We never count ourselves out, and we always play for each other."
UCLA's five-run sixth inning began with a dropped pop-up to the left of the mound by ASU third baseman Drew Stankiewicz. After Kramer reached on the error, Williams singled to right field and Amaral drove home Kramer with an infield single. A bunt single by Heineman loaded the bases, before Williams scored on a groundout by Cody Keefer.
Jeff Gelalich came through with a two-run single up the middle on an 0-and-2 count, reducing Arizona State's lead to 5-4. Trevor Brown singled off third baseman Stankiewicz, and with runners at the corners, Cody Regis drilled a base hit through left side to plate Gelalich and tie the game.
Arizona State scored five runs in the top of the third inning to claim a 5-0 lead. Deven Marrero skied a two-run triple to center field, before Trever Allen belted a three-run, two-out home run to left.
UCLA and Arizona State resume their three-game Pac-12 series at 2 p.m. on Saturday at Jackie Robinson Stadium. With rain in the forecast overnight and into Saturday, fans are encouraged to check UCLA's Baseball Twitter (twitter.com/uclabaseball) for the most up-to-date information about Saturday's ballgame.
Game Notes: Kevin Williams belted his second home run in as many games - the sophomore from Van Nuys, Calif., hit his first career home run Tuesday night at Dodger Stadium in the Bruins' 7-2 win over USC ... Williams produced UCLA's first walk-off homer since Cody Keefer belted a two-out, two-run walk-off home run against USC on May 16, 2010 in the series finale against the Trojans ... UCLA's 12-game winning streak is the program's longest since opening the 2010 season with 22 consecutive victories ... Jeff Gelalich and Tyler Heineman have each hit safely in 16 of UCLA's 17 games ... Gelalich leads UCLA with a .468 batting average and has hit at a .524 clip during the team's 12-game winning streak ... Grant Watson has pitched in five of UCLA's last six games, posting a 0.66 ERA with one run allowed in 13.1 innings.

Dr. Jeff Gingerich, associate professor of sociology at Cabrini College, recently was named one of seven finalists for Campus Compact's national 13th Annual Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service-Learning.
Dr. Gingerich, who teaches a joint class of Cabrini students and inmates inside the walls of Montgomery County Correctional Facility, was nominated for his innovative approach to social justice, service-learning and community-based research and advocacy.
He was honored in large part for his work with Norristown, Cabrini's primary partner for service learning.
"Being nominated for the Thomas Ehrlich award is a strong reflection of the work that Cabrini is doing as a whole in remaining on the cutting edge of service-learning by thinking outside of the box of traditional service-learning programs," said Dr. Gingerich.
"I'm particularly excited about the fact that the finalist award recognizes the work of service-learning within the justice system, a difficult area to think about within service-learning."
Dr. Gingerich volunteers with two social programs in the region: The Graterford Prison ThinkTank involves prison inmates and an "outsider" group mostly of college professors and students, which discusses crime and justice and looks for alternative solutions to those currently in place; and the Montgomery County Youth Aid Panel, which meets with local adjudicated youth who are first-time offenders in Norristown and aims to establish the appropriate response to the youth's offense, while at the same time helping the youth and his or her parents understand why the event happened and what can be done to deter the action from recurring.
Dr. Gingerich plans to again teach the Inside-Out program in the spring of 2008 at the Montgomery Count Correctional Facility and will work over the summer with four Cabrini students to finish a needs-assessment of prisoner re-entry in Norristown. He also will continue to work with other colleges and universities in developing service-learning classes on prisons and prisoner re-entry.
Campus Compact is a coalition of nearly 1,100 college and university presidents — representing some six million students — who are committed to fulfilling the public purposes of higher education. As the only national association dedicated to this mission, Campus Compact is a leader in building civic engagement into campus and academic life.
Through our national office and network of 31 state offices, member institutions receive the training, resources, and advocacy they need to build strong surrounding communities and teach students the skills and values of democracy.
"Each year the nominations we receive for the Thomas Ehrlich Faculty Award for Service-Learning serve to illustrate the breadth, depth, and the variety of ways in which faculty employ service-learning to reach students and impact communities," said Maureen Curley, president of Campus Compact.
"This year's pool of nominees followed in this tradition, offering clear and compelling evidence that service-learning is securing an important role, across the curriculum, within colleges and universities throughout the nation."

According to a recent survey conducted by Aetna, 23% percent of Americans report that they lash out at others because they are stressed. Sadly, prolonged exposure to stress can have a negative effect and may lead to sleep loss, depression, anxiety, and alcohol and drug abuse. It can also contribute to health issues such as high blood pressure, heart disease and obesity. Although you may not be able to control the many responsibilities that you have at work you can make better food choices which can help you feel better and have a productive life.
Skip the Sodium
Our bodies crave chips and other salty foods when we are under pressure, but they lead to water retention which may cause hypertension. Though stress alone may not be the cause of prolonged high blood pressure, a low fat and sodium diet is always best. Exercise, meditation can curtail stress and hypertension. Also switching from chips to crunchy carrots can avoid the sodium bloat.
Cut back on caffeine
As with most things in life moderation is the key to balance. Coffee and tea are both rich in antioxidants which is beneficial for overall health. Still caffeine is a stimulant and too much can cause you to feel jittery and experience anxiety and loss of concentration. This can then cause low productivity plus heightened stress. Make sure that you are getting enough rest so that you can limit and/or reduce your caffeine intake. Replace your 20 ounce cup to 12 ounces and alternate decaffeinated or herbal teas for the punchier stuff.
Keep it light
Having a glass of wine at night may not affect you but two or three can really throw your sleep pattern out of whack. While alcohol may have a sedative effect, drinking in excess can increase the release of the body's stress hormone Cortisol. Our body produces this hormone as a way of protecting us. It controls our fight or flight reaction. Overexposure to this hormone can lead to issues such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, weight gain and loss of concentration.

This Friday (June 13) is Friday the 13th, so being that day, of course you have to watch the "Friday the 13th" movies. Most horror fans have seen them, but to spice up the day, watch the movies backwards. Now if you have never seen the movies, I think it would be easier to watch them from the first to the last, but if you feel up for it, then go for it!
My list is going to start with "Jason X," though feel free to start with "Freddy vs. Jason" or the 2009 "Friday the 13th" movie. If you don't like "Jason X" and want to keep it only in the early 90s and 80s, feel free to do that.
Here's the list that I made to watch the series backwards, I started with "Jason X":
- "Jason X" (2001)
- "Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday" (1993)
- "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan" (1989)
- "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood" (1988)
- "Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives" (1986)
- "Friday the 13th: A New Beginning" (1985)
- "Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter" (1984)
- "Friday the 13th Part III" (1982)
- "Friday the 13th Part 2" (1981)
- "Friday the 13th" (1980)
So you may have to take a vacation that day in order finish all ten movies, but if you can't do that, you can always cut the list in half or only watch the ones you really enjoy. Personally, I think it would be fun to watch the movies backwards, and you can make it a two day event, but be warned celebrating the unlucky day longer though might hurt your luck!
What's your favorite "Friday the 13th" movie?

Some very strange CCTV footage is making the rounds online and it is surrounding the possible sighting of a werewolf in Brazil. FearNet reported on Tuesday, Feb. 25, 2014, that Brazilian authorities are on alert due to the footage of a possible werewolf and some other sightings that have been reported over the course of the past few months.
One of the first sightings was by a man calling himself "Pingo," and he claims that he almost was killed after the supposed werewolf chased after him. From there, his neighbors started reporting sightings of the Brazilian werewolf as well.
SEE: British ghost: Did an old U.K. pub really capture a ghost on camera?
Local officials in the Brazilian town of São Gonçalo de Campos have issued a 9:00 p.m. curfew, and they want residents to be aware of their surroundings at all time.
44 seconds of surveillance footage has been circulating and it shows a dark figure moving around someone's yard. A number of people believe it could be just a man in a dark suit, and they are doubting the possible reality of the situation.
What has people worried is that numerous werewolf sightings are now being reported in Brazil, and people are beginning to believe it.
Authorities are looking into the situation more and hope to soon be able to put residents at ease.

Enslaved by a Sidhe curse for over three hundred years, Rory Donovan desperately wants to be free of the ancient Druids' Circle. But he must lure camper Carolyn Moyer into a sexual ritual during the blue moon on the eve of Samhain — or be trapped as a shapeshifting stag for another eighty years.

Dangers peak as the time for the ritual approaches and Rory realizes the ceremony will risk Carolyn's life.

Even though the planned Asteroid Redirect Mission remains controversial, NASA is proceeding apace with undertaking it. The space agency announced Thursday that it had awarded a number of companies small concept contracts worth a total of $4.9 million aimed toward asteroid capture and prospecting. It has also identified a possible target asteroid, 2011 MD.
NASA chose to fund 18 proposals to a number of companies and organizations, including the Planetary Society, Planetary Resources, Deep Space Industries, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin. The six month studies range from secondary payloads that might be launched on the ARM mission to tools like drills and grasping arms that could be used during and after an asteroid capture.
In the meantime the hunt for a target asteroid proceeds apace. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope recently examined 2011 MD,. A near Earth object that is six meters in size and has a low density, the same as water. This suggests to NASA scientists that the object is really a collection of boulders held together by gravity. It could also be a single smaller rock surrounded by a cloud of particles. In either case the ARM mission could capture it and move it to lunar orbit.
NASA also plans to decide by the end of 2014 whether it wants to have the ARM mission capture a single small asteroid or retrieve a boulder from the surface of a larger asteroid. In either case it intends to send the ARM mission, a robot propelled by a solar electric rocket, in 2019 to rendezvous with the rock, grab it, and then move it to lunar orbit. Later, perhaps as early as 2021, NASA plans to send an Orion spacecraft launched by a heavy lift Space Launch System to the captured asteroid with a crew of astronauts.
The ARM has come under a great deal of criticism from various quarters, most recently in a report by the National Research Council. NASA intends the ARM to be an intermediate mission to take place before a human voyage to Mars. The NRC report strongly hinted that either a return to the moon or a visit to an asteroid "in its native orbit" would be better precursor missions to a Mars voyage.

By now many of you have (hopefully) tuned in to watch HBO's new fantasy series, "Game Of Thrones." And by now you may even know about the fan outcry against some of the unkinder reviews, particularly the one in the New York Times by Ginia Bellafante, in which she asks the question, "What is 'Game of Thrones' doing on HBO?"
A lot of the ire directed at Bellafante comes from her claims that women really won't (or ought not to) be interested in the series. But what infuriates and baffles me just as much about her review is that she professes to enjoy a lot of the same series I do. "Rome," "Deadwood," "The Sopranos"… I love these series for how they explore situation and character, in a way that's dramatic, intelligent, and insightful. That's also precisely why I love "Game of Thrones" the book series, and was so excited to see it come to HBO: I thought this would be the opportunity, at long last, to topple the lingering snobbery toward genre material as inconsequential fluff. "Game of Thrones," as its many readers can attest to, is the kind of work that has the depth of character and unerring sense of drama that HBO's best series are known for.
And yet here we are, right back at square one. Despite great acting, great production values, and a great story, "Game of Thrones" is being dismissed out of hand, really for no other reason than it's imaginative. It's fake!
"Since the arrival of 'The Sopranos' more than a decade ago," writes Bellafante, "HBO has distinguished itself as a corporate auteur committed, when it is as [sic] its most intelligent and dazzling, to examining the way that institutions are made and how they are upheld or fall apart: the Mafia, municipal government ('The Wire'), the Roman empire ('Rome'), the American West ('Deadwood'), religious fundamentalism ('Big Love')."
But "when the network ventures away from its instincts for real-world sociology… things start to feel cheap, and we feel we have been placed in the hands of cheaters. 'Game of Thrones' serves up a lot of confusion in the name of no larger or really relevant idea."
Do I really need to point out that series like "Rome" and "Deadwood" aren't documentaries about what really happened, but draw upon their fair share (sometimes more than their fair share) of literary license? That whatever relationship the stories of those series had to the truth came out of a dramatic need to tell The Truth, as opposed to any impulse toward historical fastidiousness? Not to mention that "Thrones" itself is loosely based on The War of the Roses. In all honesty, "Game of Thrones" is just a little farther along the speculative spectrum than the shows Bellafante appreciates, but apparently the addition of a few dragon eggs and White Walkers are enough to make the whole enterprise feel "cheap" in comparison.
Bellafante ascribes gender differences to her dislike of the fantasy genre, but (as the number of female fantasy fans rising up against her attests to) what's really at fault here is a failure of the imagination, and an underdeveloped sense of wonder. It's really no different from when I had to listen to kids at school dismiss a show like "Star Trek" for being "unrealistic," even as they talked rapturously about soap opera plots where every character was in a love triangle, had an evil twin, and was involved in a plot to murder, kidnap, or brainwash somebody.
It is true that general attitudes toward speculative fiction, or "genre" material have improved greatly in recent years. And it's not for nothing that events like Comic-Con are now major focal points in the pop cultural landscape. But reviews like the one by Bellafante remind me that the situation was once different, even during my own lifetime, and certainly much worse in times before. It makes me that much more appreciative of all those past creators who toiled on works of imagination, despite the criticism and negativity the world heaped upon them for their efforts.
As for "Game of Thrones" the series, I enjoyed the first episode very much. There was a lot to get through, in terms of both introducing the world and the large cast of characters, so I don't think it showed off to fullest effect the series' potential. But the show has already received the greenlight for a second season, and should have plenty of time to prove Bellafante wrong in her judgement about fantasy's worth.
If it can do that I hope HBO keeps the show runnng for the next ten years.

Photography is visual. Haiku is verbal. Yet like oil and vinegar, they can be combined to give us a taste which is unexpectedly beautiful, simple yet sublime.
While each form of expression is very different, in many ways the connections are undeniable. Both require melding of intellect and emotion, both are very analytical and structured, and both are exquisitely beautiful in simplicity.
I hope you enjoy this harmony of Nature captured in photography and haiku.
I came to photography both earlier and later in life than most. As a child, my sense of smell was far stronger than any of my other senses, something that continues to this day. One of my most vivid memories is one of the smell of photography. My father had a Polaroid camera and I can still smell the sticks of protecting fixer he applied to each photo. Frankly, I don't even think I cared about the photographs, I simply loved the smell associated with them. I was born and raised in coastal Massachusetts and moved to rural New Hampshire at age fourteen. These underpinnings have left me with a deep love for nature, particularly water, mountains, and forests. I have always enjoyed photography, but was never very serious about it. Photography was always a hobby, an enjoyable pastime, and something others were experts at, but not me. What has changed? Simply, I have. Following retirement from a 22 year Navy career, I now reside in the Monadnock region of New Hampshire, whose beaut

Where are the Tucson Sidewinders?
The City of Reno used TIF financing and worked with private investors to build a $50 million state-of-the-art AAA Ballpark and lured the Sidewinders. The Reno Aces sold out their opener with 9,167 fans and has averaged 6,601 fans this year (well above their break even point). The stadium was built in downtown Reno and is part of a redevelopment district that includes retail, dining, and office buildings.
Here is the way TIF financing should be used:
The City of Reno used TIF funds to entice Cabela's to build a retail facility. Cabela's sells hunting, fishing, and camping supplies. Preliminary data indicate the new store was largely responsible for a year-over-year increase of sales tax revenue of 35% (Dec 2008 vs. Dec 2007); while Rio Nuevo TIF declined 38% during the same period. TIF funds were used to upgrade infrastructure (not to build the store). Economic impact of Cabela's includes:
234 permanent jobs
486 temporary jobs
Estimated 2 million out-of-state visitors
Please note that the Tucson City Council would consider Cabela's a 'big box' store and has an ordinance that would discourage this type of facility.

Reading May's political tea leaves
By Emil Franzi, Special to The Explorer
We've had local elections, and some further away, along with enough positioning and posturing to give us some hints about our political futures.
Californians of all stripes overwhelmingly told their government "no" to higher taxes in the multiple forms they were presented. Those supporting a statewide election to raise the sales tax to bail out Arizona should note that if you can't pass any tax increase in a lefty state with bigger budget troubles than ours, good luck here.
Early on, I called for a sales tax election combined with constitutional amendments repealing all the spending ballot props that voters suckered for that the legislature is banned from modifying. Give them an "either – or," but it's too late for that. Republicans should not have been afraid of the voters. They even figured it out in San Francisco.
Up the road in Casa Grande, voters rejected a sales tax hike for a new spring training stadium by 77 percent. I hope the local Sports Authority noticed and will quit lobbying the legislature to enable Pima County to waste money on an election that will get the same result here. File that Marana Stadium next to the Rainbow Bridge over the Santa Cruz.
Two local elections gave local Democrats mostly negative results, who are attempting to breed future partisan legislative candidates by electing them to non-partisan school boards and town councils. I find no fault with this — the GOP should quit being onlookers and do the same.
In Sahuarita, the Dem pick was Rosanna Gabaldon. This partisan activity created a backlash and partly motivated Republican Kara Egbert's candidacy. Both Gabaldon and Egbert won the two seats, making it a push.
In Marana, Dems supported Kelle Maslyn, one of four finalists for two council seats including Republicans Jon Post and Larry Steckler and Democrat Carol McGorray.
Local GOP types were mostly onlookers in both towns with the exception of GOP National Committeeman Bruce Ash, who formed an independent committee whomping on Maslyn for raising almost all her funds from outside Marana. Post led the ticket followed by McGorray, with Maslyn third. Ash-GOP 1, D's 0, even though some Dems have attempted to spin and claim McGorray, whom they didn't support.
Spin will be high on the Dem agenda next year. You can tell by the almost insane rhetoric in the letters columns and elsewhere about education spending. With all the intellectual depth of the last Banzai Charge, the Democrat / public employees union coalition wants us to believe Republicans hate schools and teachers and keep our children ignorant so they won't be smart and educated enough to vote for Democrats.
Is there anybody out there who actually believes this slop?
Typical is the recent letter about the GOP violating "teacher's First Amendment rights" from Robert Cozad, who failed to note that he is the founder of the Oro Valley Democrat Club. Cozad claims a bill passed by the GOP legislature bans public school teachers from lobbying. No, it makes them reimburse taxpayers if done on school time.
As a former public employee, the husband of a retired one, the past vice-president of AFSCME local 449, and a former member of the Pima County Merit Commission, I realize public employees may apply for time off they have earned to do whatever they want. They have no constitutional right to lobby legislators on the taxpayer's dime.
One final May item, the headline in the remaining daily informing us that the TUSD Superintendent Elizabeth Celania-Fagen was hiring seven new administrators while laying off teachers because they were needed for her "vision." That exposes the real agenda and mindset of the Democrat / union / administrator coalition. It isn't about the children, it's about the power.
I gotta hand it to Inside Tucson Business for doing a little investigative reporting and jumping on the Rio Nuevo bandwagon. Keep it up guys the "safety zone – cloth reporting" is yesterday's business model. Just ask Kimble at the Citizen.
It was a short but sweet story about how Reno is revitalizing their downtown centered around…..wait for it…… SPORTS STADIUM and ENTERTAINMENT! Why didn't we think of that?
They even gots a web site – HERE. Click HERE to see the photos. If we only had that one to do over again.
From looking at the background their downtown actually looks worse than ours. Looks like they have a great first start. I wonder if they spent $80 million in consultants to get this far?
Bottom of the 9th, bases load and Casey's at bat! From today's Tucson Citizen (sports page in case you missed it);
"The Rockies have fielded six proposals from entities for a possible move, but have yet to receive a proposal from Tucson."
"Nearly a week ago, the D-backs sent requests for proposals for spring facilities to six entities. The Rockies are gathering information more on a case-by-case basis, McGregor said."
No proposals from our local governments?!

Tucson will remain an abscure little-big town until its citizens and leaders inject the area with infrastructure that will attract and retain world-class events and orginizations like pro sports teams. There's no committment from city leaders. Sadly, the local economy will further suffer. You can't hardly find a hotel room in the PHX area during spring training. Tucson's problem with getting big things done is perplexing.

with the city doing nothing to preserve core government services it would be difficult to see them proposing new stadium deals, however with the city being completely reliant upon sales tax and only sales tax as a source for revenue it seems self-defeating to continue to allow teams to leave the area. My only wish is that there was a clear vision as to where Tucson was heading from public officials.

As a lifelong Tucsonan, I think the city has actually regressed from what it was 20 years ago. There's just not much life left in the place, except for the UofA, really. Very few big-time events at the TCC, the mid-town areas are run down and full of cyclone fences. Duplexes are all taken over by property management firms who don't repair anything unless they HAVE to. This town is ugly. There are more COP cars on the streets now than pedestrians and even the COPs cars don't match !!!! City buses running everywhere and clogging the two-lane streets.
It's just a nasty little town anymore that, when it had a chance to grow up and be something, elected and appointed a lot of self-interested types who didn't care much about anything outside of their narrow, cultural interests.
Violent crime and theft are rampant here, and crack and meth have just worn this place out.
If I were involved in this baseball fiasco, I would leave Tucson, too. It's just not a very nice place anymore.

Tucson officials are tongue tied, not sure what to do. They screwed around, wasting lots of years, where they should have been attentive, and were not. Tucson just does not have any solutions for any issues. Noone that should have the authority does anything, just sits on their hands. It is sad to see the city declining fast, as events leave the city, less people will vacation or visit here. Wake up TUCSON>

Is it any wonder that towns like Oro Valley and Marana are distancing themselves from Tucson? These city governments have evolved into thriving communities with their own events. I'm amazed how anyone could vote the same problems into office…Rio Nuevo..enough said.

Spoiled brats leaving town, big business avoiding crime ridden and high tax Pima county, and the taxpayers, most of whom are just trying to make their way through life, are stuck with financing the salaries and retirement plans of the public workers who contribute little or nothing to the quality of life here. It's only going to get worse until something changes to attract the things necessary for a well balanced and healthy community. We've seen the results of voting for people with a (D) next to their names, but that will not change in Tucson, which seems to pride itself on being a Democratic stronghold. Enjoy the scenery.
Now it's Casa Grande that's trying to make a play to woo the Arizona Diamondbacks and Colorado Rockies out of Tucson.
On Feb. 2, the city council there voted unamimously to put a referendum before voters May 19 asking for an approval of 0.9 percent sales tax to build a stadium that would attract the two teams.
"We want to see if the local community has an appetite for Spring Training," said Mayor Bob Jackson said. "If so, we want to put this financing mechanism in place so that if a team becomes available over the next 10 years we would be in a position where we could begin immediate discussions with them."
The Chicago White Sox paid Pima County $5 million last year to get out of its deal to use Tucson Electric Park. The team next month will begin Spring Training in Glendale. That has left local officials worried that both the Diamondbacks, who train at TEP, and the Rockies, who train Hi Corbett Field, will follow the White Sox out of town.
Efforts to attract a third Major League Baseball team to Tucson have been unsuccessful.
So are either the Diamondbacks or Rockies interested in Casa Grande?
A call to Diamondbacks officials went unanswered.
An obviously perturbed Jay Alves, vice president of communications and public relations with the Rockies, didn't want to talk about it saying it was premature. In fact the Rockies have been more proactive in trying to find alternatives that would allow them to stay in Tucson.
If Casa Grande voters approve of the May 19 measure, the tax would not go into effect or would bonds be sold until the city council approves an agreement with at least one baseball franchise.
Contact reporter Joe Pangburn at firstname.lastname@example.com or (520) 295-4259.
Tucson has had a relationship with baseball since the 1940's. That relationship is under some stress as the Chicago White Sox recently left our community for greener (as in $80.7 million in green backs) ball parks in Glendale. First off, why would the State of Arizona Dept. of Commerce, or the AZ Sports Authority let one community poach from another. I guess we aren't on the same team.
With the White Sox leaving the two remaining teams have clauses in their contracts allowing them to leave if there aren't 3 Tucson MLB spring training teams. Baseball really could be heading north. The Cactus League of Spring Training teams is really becoming an economic boom to Arizona. Just not Southern Arizona.
Groups are working to build a new stadium, fix Hi Corbett and attract a third or fourth team. If all goes well the voters will get a crack at passing a special sales tax to fund the projects. Good luck with that in this tough economic climate.
The reliable estimates are that MLB spring training brings in $10 million per club to our local economy. The $30 million injection annual means more hotel booking, golf course rounds of play and fans to eat and drink in local restaurants. The big question is; Is it worth investing in staduims to attract or retain new teams?
Footing the Bill for a Ballpark
The once popular practice of spending public money to finance sports stadiums has recently been striking out. That's no surprise when you consider the books economists and journalists are writing these days: "Loot, loot, loot for the home team," is a chapter in a 2005 book called The Great American Jobs Scam by Greg LeRoy, founder of the Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit development watchdog group Good Jobs First. The 1999 book Field of Schemes offers a similar take. Its author, journalist Neil DeMause, sums up the situation as follows: "In almost eight years of reporting on stadium deals, I've spoken to every economist I can find about the impact of sports stadiums. And I've yet to find a single independent economist (by which I mean one not actually working for a sports team or league) who thinks that stadiums are any use as an economic engine."
LeRoy explains in his book that the whole system of public financing is usually traced to the 1950s. Until then, team owners paid for their own stadiums— with few exceptions. The trend started in 1953 with the first team relocation in half a century, the Boston Braves' move to Milwaukee. They were lured there with a new stadium built with public money. Since then, politicians everywhere have been "taken in by the assumption that the presence of a professional sports team is a leading contributor to the vitality of cities," LeRoy writes. "That notion has so captivated politicians that they are willing to give sport team owners subsidies that are far beyond wha tother private-sector businesses can hope for."
Nationwide, there is growing opposition to funding sports programs with taxpayer monies. In a 1997 Rasmussen poll on the subject, 64 percent of respondents answered "no" to the question of whether taxpayer dollars should be used to build a professional sports facility. Still, Adam M. Zaretsky, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, wrote in a 2001 policy paper on the subject, "Should cities pay for sports facilities?" that between 1987 and 1999, 55 stadiums and arenas were refurbished or built in the U.S. with more than $8.7 billion. Fifty-seven percent of that, or roughly $5 billion, was financed by taxpayers.
Clearly, the debate about whether stadiums are good for cities extends far beyond Miami. The NFL's San Diego Chargers spent five years trying to secure funds and a location to replace the outmoded, 40-year-old Qualcomm Stadium. San Diego residents also want a new stadium: in a January 2006 poll conducted by the San Diego Union-Tribune, 68.6 percent of 27,575 residents polled said the city should donate land to build a new football stadium. An overwhelming 95.6 percent said they would support a new stadium if the Chargers paid for it, along with the requisite infrastructure improvements.
According to the proposal the Chargers made to the city in October 2005, the new football stadium, completely funded by the Chargers and their development partner, would be built on 60 of the 166 acres of current Qualcomm Stadium land in Mission Valley. The remaining acreage would be used for parks, streets, parking garages, and commercial development. But as the Chargers' general counsel, Mark Fabiani, explains, the plan didn't pan out because the city of San Diego, teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, decided to set aside the question of stadium funding for other priorities.
The Chargers consequently could not find a suitable development partner, according to Fabiani, "not because the project wouldn't have worked out, but because no one wanted to get mired in the city of San Diego's chaos." Not surprisingly, last year the city amended the terms of its lease with the Chargers so that they could begin to look elsewhere for a home. And plenty of new cities are lining up to court them, including nearby Chula Vista, National City, and Oceanside, California. Even Las Vegas, Nevada, showed interest, though the Chargers' contract restricts relocation talks to cities within San Diego County. "Private funding for a stadium is very difficult to pull off," Fabiani says. "In California, people are just not eager to subsidize these stadiums."
Stadiums have fared better in other cities. In Minneapolis, for example, after ten years of struggling with the issue, the Minnesota Twins last year reached an agreement on a new $522 million stadium that will be partially funded by a sales tax of 15 cents for every $100 in sales in Hennepin County, where the team plays ball.
But there seems to be a growing heap of evidence that stadiums don't make such good long-term investments for cities. Robert Baade, an economics professor at Lake Forest College in Lake Forest, Illinois, studied baseball stadiums specifically. He looked at the per capita income in 30 cities that have built new sports stadiums over the past 30 years and found that in 27 of the cities, there was no observable economic impact.
"In the other three cities, income looked to have gone down as a result of the stadium," Baade says. Stadiums do offer some clear benefits to cities. "Bars next to stadiums see an increase in customers on game days," Baade says. But even that has a down side, however, because the bars only do well when a team is winning. "When a team is losing, who wants to go out and celebrate another loss?"
Baade found that, "In only a small fraction of the cases examined does manufacturing activity… correlate significantly with the presence of a new or renovated stadium. We conclude that measurable economic benefits to area residents are not large enough to justify stadium subsidies and that the debate must turn to immeasurable intangible benefits like fan identification and civic pride."
Stadium boosters in Miami are vowing to try again next year, especially if it means keeping the Marlins from pulling up stakes and heading to a new city. One man watching the Marlins' quest with special interest is Jack McKeon, the former Marlins manager who led the team to their World Series victory in 2003. Now 76 and semi-retired in Elon, North Carolina, the cigar-smoking, tough-talking McKeon (nicknamed Trader Jack) still works as a part-time consultant for the Marlins, mainly as a talent scout. "It would be a shame if they don't have baseball in Miami," he says. The sentiment is certainly shared by South Florida Marlin fans, whatever their numbers.

$f'(x) \thickapprox$ $\frac{1}{2h} [ 4f(x+h) - 3 f(x) + f(x + 2h)]$
I need to derive the approximation formula for the function above. And I need to show that it's error term is of the form $\frac{1}{3}h^2 f'''(\xi)$
How do I go around doing this? I've been suggested to use the Central Difference Formula or Forward or Backward Approximation

IFLA has published a Code of Ethics for Librarians and other Information Workers. This code's aims are:
• encouraging reflection on principles on which librarians and other information workers can form policies and handle dilemmas
• improving professional self-awareness
• providing transparency to users and society in general. (IFLA 2012)
The key tenets of the Code are:
1. Access to information
2. Responsibilities towards individuals and society
3. Privacy, secrecy and transparency
4. Open access and intellectual property
5. Neutrality, personal integrity and professional skills
6. Colleague and employer/employee relationship
The Code is offered as a guide to individual librarians and also as a guide to library associations and was compiled by a working group of the Committee on Freedom of Access to Information and Freedom of Expression (FAIFE).
It is well worth taking the time to read and absorb. Once you have…..
Do we need an international Code? Do you agree with the Code? What is missing from it or what should not have been included? Will it affect your work? Would love to read your thoughts.

|A single-feed rectangular-ring microstrip antenna is proposed for indoor communication under the Bluetooth protocol. The dimensions of the antenna together with the location of the feed point are optimized through field simulations in order to cover the Bluetooth bandwidth and to avoid linear polarization. The performance and the efficiency of the antenna are illustrated in a real indoor environment

|Highly crystalline, ultra fine TiO (anatase) having high surface area has been prepared by thermal hydrolysis of titanyl sulphate 2 solution and characterized using B.E.T surface area measurements, XRD and chemical analysis. The dependence of surface area on concentration of staffing solution, temperature of hydrolysis, duration of boiling and calcination temperature were also studied. As the boiling temperature, duration of boiling and calcination temperature increased, the surface area of TiO formed decreased significantly. 2 On increasing calcination temperature, the crystallite size of TiO also increased and gradually the phase transformation to rutile took 2 place. The onset and completion temperatures of rutilation were 700 and 10008C, respectively

|In the present investigation, an attempt is made to document various episodes of transgression and regression during the late Quaternary period from the study of coastal and shelf sequences extending from the inland across the beach to the shelf domain. Shore parallel beach ridges with alternating swales and occurrence of strand line deposits on the shelf make the northern Kerala coast an ideal natural laboratory for documenting the morpho-dynamic response of the coast to the changing sea level. The objectives of the study are lithographic reconstruction of environments of deposition from the coastal plain and shelf sequences; documentation of episodes of transgression and regression by studying different coastal plain sequences and shelf deposits and evolve a comprehensive picture of late Quaternary coastal evolution and sea level changes along the northern Kerala coast by collating morphological, lithological and geochronological evidences from the coastal plain and shelf sequences. The present study is confined to two shore-normal east-west trending transects, Viz. Punjavi and Onakkunnu, in the northern Kerala coast.
|This study deals with the working of Women's Industrial Co-operative Societies (WICS) in Kerala. The formation of women's co-operatives was identified as a lucrative enterprise and a feasible proposition for empowerment of women through encouraging and ensuring their active participation in the process of social and economic development. The problem of unemployment of Women and poverty in India can be tackled effectively only through suitable and appropriate self-employment schemes. WICS help to supplement the income of families and thus raise the standard of living. WICS in Kerala have a significant role in the elimination of industrial backwardness and mounting employment. This study focuses its attention on the performance aspects of WICS. It also gives an introduction to the co-operative movement and review of literature on industrial co-operatives in general and women's industrial co-operatives in particular.
|The thesis deals with some of the non-linear Gaussian and non-Gaussian time models and mainly concentrated in studying the properties and application of a first order autoregressive process with Cauchy marginal distribution. In this thesis some of the non-linear Gaussian and non-Gaussian time series models and mainly concentrated in studying the properties and application of a order autoregressive process with Cauchy marginal distribution. Time series relating to prices, consumptions, money in circulation, bank deposits and bank clearing, sales and profit in a departmental store, national income and foreign exchange reserves, prices and dividend of shares in a stock exchange etc. are examples of economic and business time series. The thesis discuses the application of a threshold autoregressive(TAR) model, try to fit this model to a time series data. Another important non-linear model is the ARCH model, and the third model is the TARCH model. The main objective here is to identify an appropriate model to a given set of data. The data considered are the daily coconut oil prices for a period of three years. Since it is a price data the consecutive prices may not be independent and hence a time series based model is more appropriate. In this study the properties like ergodicity, mixing property and time reversibility and also various estimation procedures used to estimate the unknown parameters of the process.
|Chemical bath deposition (CBD)is one of the simplest, very convient and probably the cheapest method for thin film preparation. Photovoltaic is the cleanest and the most efficient mode of conversion of energy to electrical power. Silicon is the most popular material in this field. The present study on chemical bath deposited semiconducting copper selenide and iron sulfide thin films useful for photovoltaic applications. Semiconducting thin films prepared by chemical deposition find applications as photo detectors, solar control coatings and solar cells. Copper selenide is a p-type semiconductor that finds application in photovolitics. Several heterojunction systems such as Cu2-xSe/ZnSe (for injection electro luminescence), Cu2Se/AgInSe2 and Cu2Se/Si (for photodiodes), Cu2-xSe/CdS, Cu2-xSe/CdSe, CuxSe/InP and Cu2-xSe/Si for solar cells are reported. A maximum efficiency of 8.3% was achieved for the Cu2-xSe/Si cell, various preparation techniques are used for copper selenide like vacuum evaporation, direct reaction, electrodeposition and CBD. Instability of the as-prepared films was investigation and is accounted as mainly due to deviation from stoichiometry and the formation of iron oxide impurity. A sulphur annealing chamber was designed and fabricated for this work. These samples wee also analysed using optical absorption technique, XPS (X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy) and XRD.(X-Ray Diffraction).The pyrite films obtained by CBD technique showed amorphous nature and the electrical studies carried out showed the films to be of high resistive nature. Future work possible in the material of iron pyrite includes sulphur annealing of the non-stochiometric iron pyrite CBD thin films in the absence of atmospheric oxygen
|This thesis is devoted to the study of some stochastic models in inventories. An inventory system is a facility at which items of materials are stocked. In order to promote smooth and efficient running of business, and to provide adequate service to the customers, an inventory materials is essential for any enterprise. When uncertainty is present, inventories are used as a protection against risk of stock out. It is advantageous to procure the item before it is needed at a lower marginal cost. Again, by bulk purchasing, the advantage of price discounts can be availed. All these contribute to the formation of inventory. Maintaining inventories is a major expenditure for any organization. For each inventory, the fundamental question is how much new stock should be ordered and when should the orders are replaced. In the present study, considered several models for single and two commodity stochastic inventory problems. The thesis discusses two models. In the first model, examined the case in which the time elapsed between two consecutive demand points are independent and identically distributed with common distribution function F(.) with mean (assumed finite) and in which demand magnitude depends only on the time elapsed since the previous demand epoch. The time between disasters has an exponential distribution with parameter . In Model II, the inter arrival time of disasters have general distribution (F.) with mean ( ) and the quantity destructed depends on the time elapsed between disasters. Demands form compound poison processes with inter arrival times of demands having mean 1/. It deals with linearly correlated bulk demand two Commodity inventory problem, where each arrival demands a random number of items of each commodity C1 and C2, the maximum quantity demanded being a (< S1) and b(<S2) respectively. The particular case of linearly correlated demand is also discussed
|Dielectric properties of polyaniline at different frequencies were studied. Cavity perturbation technique was employed for the study. Poly aniline in the powder and pelletised forms were prepared under different environmental conditions. Different samples of poly aniline exhibit high conductivity. However, the conductivity of samples prepared under different environmental conditions is found to vary. All the samples in the powder form have high conductivity irrespective of the method of preparation. The high conductivity at microwave frequency makes it possible to be used for developing microwave components like filters.

|The present investigation has addressed the effects of PHC contaminated culture medium on the morphology, physiology and behaviour of shrimps. The shrimp Metapenaeus dobsoni is an important member of the crustacean animal community abounding the oil contaminated benthic regions of Cochin backwater system. Since it is known that true pollutants can disrupt the sustainability of ecosystems by its effect on species, populations and communities,a representative species was used for the study. The results discussed in this work is bound to help in understanding the ecotoxicant resistance that the animal may display under toxic conditions compared to dynamic steady-state systems in nature.

Would you want to be cryogenically frozen? That's the question the Jeffersonian team asks with next week's case in "Bones" episode 921, "The Cold in the Case," for which FOX released a new sneak preview on Monday, April 7.
In this next "Bones" episode, a woman's remains are found in a swamp, and the team realizes her body was cryogenically frozen before it was disposed, leading them to a cryogenic preservation facility, where they learn more about the victim's personal life.
Meanwhile, Cam (Tamara Taylor) is hesitant to meet Arastoo's (Pej Vahdat) father (Braeden Marcott) and mother (Shohreh Aghdashloo) for the first time, and a couple of the photos in the slideshow offer a look at the "meeting the parents" dinner.
Finally, Booth (David Boreanaz), who beat his own personal record on the FBI Competency tests in the last episode, is up for a huge promotion that could uproot his entire family.
The promo for "The Cold in the Case" focuses exclusively on the case itself, and we get a look at Booth and Brennan (Emily Deschanel) visiting the cryogenic preservation facility, where they want her brain. Meanwhile, Angela (Michaela Conlin) knows how to put a stop to Hodgins (TJ Thyne) calling it "cool."
"Bones" season 9 airs Mondays at 8 p.m. on FOX. What do you think of the episode 21 "The Cold in the Case" promo and photos?

Product Description
The highly successful Dayton Audio WT3 speaker tester has now outgrown its name! DATS V2, the Dayton Audio Test System, is the proud successor to the WT3, includes everything WT3 users have come to love about that system—but adds much more. Don't worry, the new system still measures loudspeaker parameters or R, L, and C values in just seconds and still includes the WT3's unique Rub and Buzz test. But now with the introduction of DATS V2, the system has grown beyond impedance testing and T/S measurements to include a second test mode featuring a general purpose signal generator and oscilloscope working in tandem.
The scope and generator combination provides a powerful general purpose audio test set. When used with the DATS V2 hardware, the oscilloscope monitors the DATS V2 generator output and is calibrated. When standard audio interfaces are available, the oscilloscope input can be switched to another device to allow the monitoring of arbitrary input signals in addition to the DATS V2 generator output.DATS V2 provides the following improvements over WT3:
• New signal generator with selectable waveform, frequency, and amplitude
• Sine, square, triangle, saw tooth, impulse, pink noise, and log sweeps
• New oscilloscope with dual traces and adjustable time and amplitude scales
• Oscilloscope and generator compatible with other audio interfaces
• Improved audio device selection dialogue
• Improved alligator clip leads provide a more consistent test lead impedance
• New method for calculating Vas from specified Mmd
• Faster hardware startup time (reduced from 90 seconds to 30 seconds)
DATS V2 measures over 30,000 data points in just a few seconds using a new swept sine technique. The result is a very high-resolution impedance measurement that allows the extraction of an extremely accurate driver parameter set, suitable for the most critical loudspeaker design work.
Free air parameters are measured in just a few seconds. Vas can be measured by traditional test box, added mass, SPL, or calculated from the driver's specified Mmd. No other impedance tester is as fast, versatile, or as easy to use as DATS V2.
DATS V2 hardware consists of a compact USB interface unit with attached USB cable and alligator clip leads. It's manufactured on state-of-the-art equipment using precision surface mount components. Windows compatible software provides an easy-to-use interface that allows you to be up and running very quickly. You can save as many as 20 impedance measurements per project and then overlay and compare any or all of the measurements to create a custom report complete with all your notes. Perfect for quick incoming QC inspections.Minimum System Requirements:IBM PC or compatible system with 64MB RAM, 500 MHz Pentium III processor, MS Windows 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, 7, or Vista; One available USB 2.0/1.1 port.
