TSA gropes for security
Several years ago I complained about the invasive nature of airport security screening (I had to take my shoes off), contending -- in jest -- that soon they'd be asking you to go through the security gates naked.
How prescient -- unfortunately.
This summer, approximately 2.2 million people boarded an airline in the United States every day. That number will go up during the holidays.
Today, you can have a choice:
1) You can allow a body scan that shows Transportation Safety Administration employees exactly what you look like naked. Most of us do not look like supermodels or prime beef hunks, so we have to consider the mental damage this will cause TSA employees (I can just hear the TSA employee now if I go through a scan -- "My eyes! My eyes! Oh, the horror!").
If you have any sense of modesty, this will probably annoy you. If you have a high sense of modesty, or a religious standard of modesty (perhaps you're Amish), this scan could be highly offensive. The TSA doesn't care.
2) You can undergo the type of full-body patdowns they give people in prisons. This isn't the "back of the hand" swish they used to do. This is everything short of a cavity search (and imagine what the TSA will demand the first time they catch a terrorist with a bomb hidden in one of their nether orifices).
TSA Director John Pistole described it as: "Pat downs so thorough we can feel what's in your underwear."
Passenger John Tyner, who became famous last week with his cell phone recording of his encounter at Lindbergh Field in San Diego, put it best when he pointed out that if he walked down the street and put his hand in someone's crotch, he'd be arrested. But if the government does it, it's apparently OK.
He made a great point.
Of course, some people don't mind. I know some people who would go through the line several times to show off in the scanner and let someone do a little intrusive touching. These are not people I want to sit next to an a plane, however.
Privacy advocates are up in arms over the new TSA procedures. But, as I've pointed out before, there is no specific Constitutional right to privacy.
There is, however, a Constitutional protection against unreasonable searches and seizures without a probable cause warrant being issued by a court.
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
-- Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (part of the Bill of Rights)
I tried to stand on that protection under the Constitution's Bill of Rights several years ago and was bluntly told that there was no right for me to get on a plane. I could either choose to stand on my Constitutional rights or I could waive them (submit to the search) and be allowed to board. But I couldn't do both.
So my option was to be allowed to spend a few hours on a plane flying across the country, or 2.5 days traveling by bus (sitting in the same type of crowded seats for all but a few potty and meal breaks), or 2-3 days driving (not that my 25-year-old vehicle would have probably made it), with the additional hassle of trying to find affordable motels, plus restaurant costs, along the way. I figured it would cost me more than twice as much to drive as to fly, and I'm not a rich person.
Strangely, the courts have tended to rule in favor of the government's security interests over citizen rights.
In his book, "Guerilla Warfare," the Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara discussed the value of terrorist attacks. He contended that one of their primary purposes was to force a government to respond, to become so repressive of civil and individual liberties in defense of the security of the state, that the people would rise up in rebellion against the government. I don't think we've reached that point -- yet. Because Guevara also noted that such repression was unlikely to work so long as legal and political procedures were in place to allow redress of grievances. I believe -- I hope -- that still applies in this country.
But in practice, every grope by a TSA agent is a victory for the terrorists.
TSA chief John Pistole insists the measures are designed for the safety of all airline passengers. "Everybody wants the best possible security,'' he said. Safety and security trump liberty and freedom.
"Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
-- Benjamin Franklin, 1759
I believe that if you live in a land of liberty, if you take your rights seriously, then you must be willing to accept certain reasonable risks.
I also believe that no matter how good we are at screening people and packages, an inventive terrorist will eventually find a way around those procedures. Heck, when TSA ran tests on itself a while back, simulating a person trying to get on a plane with a weapon or bomb, a third of the time that person was successful. So it's not as if all this groping and scanning is all that useful -- unless it's to keep people frightened and justify the bloated budget and assaults on civil liberties that keeps the Department of Homeland Insecurity in business.
Right now, the government clearly -- and literally -- has grabbed the citizens of this country by the balls in an increasingly overreaching zeal for excessive safety. And they're squeezing tighter and tighter.
Slowly, little by little, the government's response to terrorism is chipping away at our foundation rights.
It's time that all citizens who are willing to take the risks associated with living in a free society fight back. We need to let our congressmen know that things have gone too far -- that it's time to step back from the abyss of totalitarian and tyrannical intrusion and return to sanity.

Pursuant to its two-week free access policy, the Star Tribune has already removed Curt Brown's page-one Star Tribune article on the coming of Sharia to the Minneapolis Community and Technical College from its free archive. Here is the paragraph I quoted from the article in "Sharia in Minnesota":
Minneapolis Community and Technical College is poised to become the state's first public school to install a foot-washing basin to help the school's 500 Muslim students perform pre-prayer rituals. "We want to be welcoming," MCTC President Phil Davis said, noting a student was hurt trying to wash in a regular sink.
In its related editorial, the Star Tribune described the incident as follows:
It's worth remembering that this question first arose at MCTC as a matter of safety, not religion. A student slipped and fell after another student used a campus sink to wash his or her feet.
As I noted in "The Star Tribune does that wudu that it does so well":
I understood Brown to be saying that it was the Muslim student who was injured by virtue of the contortions necessary to wash his or her feet in the sink.
This past Friday the Star Tribune ran the following correction:
An April 25 editorial about Minneapolis Community and Technical College incorrectly described the incident that gave rise to safety concerns over Muslim students using sinks to bathe their feet before prayer. The student who fell was herself a Muslim student washing her feet at the time.
So the Star Tribune — which found the point in question "worth remembering" — can't even read its own reportage with care sufficient to get the purported story straight. Or be troubled to append the correction to the original editorial so that readers might have a chance of "remembering" correctly. What is "worth remembering" is that Curt Brown never bothered to look into the identity of the victim or the nature of the injury sustained by the Muslim student hoisting his or her foot into the sink. My guess is that the story is mythical but purposive.

PITTSBURGH (AP) - March 26, 2013 --Police have identified a man who allegedly stabbed three people at a Target store in Pittsburgh, including a 16-year-old girl who remains hospitalized.
Court records show that 41-year-old Leon Raymond Walls is being held in Allegheny County Jail, unable to post $250,000 bond.
Investigators say Walls ran into the store in the East Liberty neighborhood on Monday after a fight nearby. They say he slashed two men and stabbed and seriously injured the girl.
Police say she remains in serious condition with cuts to the back and arm.
Authorities say two men followed Walls into the store searching for him. Walls then allegedly ran toward the checkout lanes and grabbed the girl, who was standing with family members.
Court papers didn't list a home address or attorney for Walls.

Americans who experience chronic symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) need to know about an advanced form of the disease that may increase their risk for esophageal cancer.
The disease known as Barrett's esophagus causes abnormal tissue to form in the lower part of the esophagus. Research has shown that patients with this advanced form of GERD are up to 40 times more likely to get esophageal adenocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer that starts in glandular cells responsible for creating and secreting mucus from the esophagus.
The esophagus is a tube-shaped organ that carries food, liquids and saliva from the mouth to the stomach. Flow is controlled by sphincter muscles that automatically relax when a person swallows to allow substances to pass into the stomach. Most of the time, these muscles are contracted to prevent the stomach's contents from leaking back into the esophagus.
The real risk for developing Barrett's esophagus is in patients with chronic, symptomatic reflux. It's very difficult to determine who should undergo screening exams for esophageal cancer, though, because symptoms don't always coordinate reliably with the risk of developing Barrett's.
The belief is that the irritation caused by fluids backing up from the stomach into the lower section of esophagus may lead to Barrett's esophagus.
Although the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases estimates that just 1 percent of the 700,000 people diagnosed with Barrett's esophagus will develop esophageal adenocarcinoma, it is one of the most rapidly rising cancers diagnosed in the United States.
Some symptoms of esophageal cancer are:
It is important to note that these symptoms usually do not occur until the cancer has advanced.
There are a couple of tests and procedures that are done if Barrett's esophagus or Esophageal Adenocarcinoma are suspected:
The American College of Gastroenterology recommends that patients who have long term reflux symptoms—especially people over 40—should have their upper gastrointestinal tract examined to determine whether they have developed Barrett's esophagus. If the condition does exist, the patient can be put on a more rigorous screening schedule to help detect signs of esophageal cancer sooner.
Early-intervention lifestyle changes can help control less severe cases of GERD. Here are some suggestions:
Antacids and other acid-blocking medications may help reduce the reflux symptoms; however, they do not eliminate the risk of developing esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Mazda6 Lease Questions

I'm in MN - looking for July MF and residuals.
I'm considering either the Touring w/ tech package or GT model. 12K miles per year.
Thanks much.0
fenderman2 Posts: 11Carman,
Can you please provide the lease numbers for a 2014 Mazda 6 GT, 36 months, both 12 and 15k.
Thank you0
joshcs Posts: 8I am looking into leasing a 2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring. I have $2000 to put down if needed. I want to know what residuals would be for 24 mo's with 20k miles per year. I live in AL if that helps any. Also, will Mazda do a lease for less than 24 months? Thanks in advance!0
I'm looking to lease a Mazda 6 GT on tuesday. Can you send em the Mazda Finance lease figures. The MSRP on the car I like is $30,290 what is a fair price?
My goal is to zero down and pay as close to $300 as possible. The Residual they offered is 60% for 36 months with 12k miles per year.
luke111 Posts: 5Just came from the dealership and bought my Mazda, I think it is a pretty good deal, Car Man care to comment?
Cap cost (including fees) $28,800 (remember white is $200 more expensive)
Money Factor for July is Pennsylvania is 0.00023
Zero down payment
$355 per month including taxes (it is 9% for me)
Due at signing: $220 (registration)..1st payment is waived
I'm getting the remote starter installed $470 (paying it cash upfront)
This car doesn't include the MRCC FOW package
Ah! I didn't qualify for owner loyalty, military or any other discounts0
I was just at Jeff Haas Mazda in Houston. They quoted me a sale price for the 6 GT without the MRCC FOW of $28,900 with a "ANNUAL LEASE RATE" is 2.47 - not sure what this means its not the money factor or the APR which is money factor x 2400.
There was $2,600 in Leasing fees - which I can deal with later and get them down. But their estimate at $0 down was a payment of $430 which seems ridiculous given that's more than what I would pay for a C250 with $0 down
Car_Man can you help me out with the residual and MF for Texas on the Mazda 6 GT at 36 months with 12k miles per yr
Thank you,
Sorry for the repeated posts but just came back from another dealer and they are offering the following:
Monthly payment - $395
Residual - 60%
Walk away just first month payment of $395
Car_Man - can you send me the figures for this month and also comment on what the cap cost they are using breaks down to? I can't understand how they are trying to get this car sold at such a high payment. Now I understand why they don't move anywhere near the volume Honda and Toyota move even though its a better car in my opinion.
Thank you,
ajpbf7 Posts: 81Hello Car Man,
Could you please post the MF and Residual for a 2014 Mazda 6 Touring and Sport with an auto transmission. I am looking at 36 months with 10k or 12k per yr. Any lease cash or support on this vehicle yet? I am in KY. Thank you.0
I've been speaking with the Internet manager of a dealership in south Florida and I believe I am being offered a really good deal.
2014 Mazda 6 gt
12 k miles/year
42 month lease
$299 a month (before 6% taxes)
$700 down (includes ttl and first month)
Gap insurance included
Car is under warranty for 6 years or 60k miles
Is there anything I am missing or that I need clarification on regarding this proposal? Thanks in advance.0
Really can't tell you how good a deal it is without the capitalized cost components, the residual and money factor.
I took my April lease, kept the money factor, lowered the residual by 2% (I know that the residual is the same for 36 or 39 months but don't know about 42 months), changed the paid at signing to $700 and changed the term to 42 months and came up with the same $299 before taxes and I have the GT with MRCC/FOW package so if Im guessing the dealer is making about the same on both of us plus/minus a few hundred.
Post the actual pieces and you can get some opinions.
What I do find crazy is that it appears the dealer is paying for an extended warranty to 60 months when you are only leasing the car for 42 months. I know it's unlikely you will need to use the warranty between 36 and 42 months but if the warrantly appears legit (take a look at it closely) it's a pretty smart way to go since you'll still be enjoying the car after 36 months at a lower rate.0
relius1 Posts: 1Can you share the dealer and program deats when you are done? I'm in Orlando and this program pricing sounds perfect to me!!!0
The residual is 57% and money factor is .00044.
The true car price he quoted was $28,623.0
Mine was $250 more below invoice than yours and included window etching already on the car but your dealer needs to purchase an extended warranty for your deal so I can't tell which dealer makes more but the fact you get the benefit of the 42 month lease makes yours an excellent deal. You'll love the car, but you if you do highway driving, you will love it even more with the radar cruise control.0
Thank you so much for your input. I just hope that the dealer actually sticks to the proposed plan and doesn't try to pull one over on me when I get there.0
stever Posts: 52,683A reporter is looking for new car lessees. If you leased a new car in the past few months, and would like to share your story, please email your daytime contact information to [email protected]0
Based on what i read in this forum, i didn't get that much of a deal tonight.
I just wanted a quote on the very basic Mazda 6 i-sport.
After the test drive and talking with the guy i asked for a quote on a 3 yr / 12000 miles lease.
He came back with the following numbers
Capitalized cost: $25400
Residual: $13275
Down payment: $0
Monthly: $388 including taxes
Immediately i thought the Capitalized cost was way wrong. Turns out these guys had a $895 dealer fee. They also used the MSRP in the calculation.
I started talking about negotiating the price and that $22000 was pretty much the fair price for this and that the dealer fees were way high. The MF appears to be high but that may be because i am in a different state from the 0.00045 i saw earlier.
I said i wanted to negotiate the price and get much closer to the invoice price and maybe waive some of their fees. My goal is to get a lease at or around $300 tax in. I got quoted an Accord LX at $320 tax in and i had not even started to negotiate. Now, some might argue that the Mazda 6 is a better car than the Accord. As a matter of fact the salesman was talking about engine compression and stuff. I don't really care about that. Bottom line is Horsepower is the same, the gadgets are the same (CTV transmission, backup camera, bluetooth) and the MPG is the same. Those are the thing i am looking for.. not the engine compression or what the 0-60 time is.
He went to see the finance guy and he came back with him. Finance guy said he could do no better than $340 a month and that getting lower is impossible without a down payment. He stated that the i-Sport is fairly new and there aren't enough sold yet to get any wiggle room to negotiate. He says Mazda is pushing for the Touring and is not providing enough i-Sport so the financing market for it is still unknown.
It's a shame because i really liked my test drive experience but $388... or even $344 is over my budget. I could do $310 or $315 but my goal is to be as close (or under) $300 as possible.
What do you guys think?0
I definitely think you can get a much better deal. I ended up getting the grand touring with the $900 cruise control package and I only pay $310 a month ($330 after taxes). I put down $700 and that included first month, new license plate and their dealer fees. What state are you in?
On a side note, definitely go with the Mazda 6 over the accord. I am so happy with my purchase. It's just such a sexy looking car and drives extremely well.0
I have no doubt it's an excellent car. Like i said, i really liked my test drive. But ultimately it's a budget question. I need a car to go to work and back... About 20 miles a day. So the driving experience, which i am sure may be better in the Mazda, isn't something that is critical to me. I am looking at horsepower, MPG, standard equipement and yes, Price... which i can only afford around $300/month tax in.
I am pretty certain that this dealer won't go under $340. I may have to try another dealer but there aren't any Mazda in my area and had to drive about 45 mins to get to this one. Not sure i want to do that again and get stuck with the same kind of deal0
I'd recommend just reaching out to the Internet manager of dealerships in your surrounding area. Don't waste your gas and time driving to the dealerships. I basically worked out my deal via text and email. The first time I spoke to the dealership I got the car he worked up a deal for $1000 down and $360 a month before taxes. Another tip I found during my car hunt was the better dealership to go to is the one that is a volume seller and not a commission seller.
As far as mpg, I am getting 29 mpg on my first tank. I drive 18 miles to and from work 5 days a week. The one thing I loved about the accord when I test drove it was the passenger side mirror camera showing 3 car lengths behind you when you turned on the right hand turn signal.0
fubrett and I both got the GT with MRCC Package so we have all the bells and whistles, most of which are not available on the Accord. That's the primary reason why I love the car so much. And, of course, I love the styling.
In terms of pricing, I got mine at the largest volume dealer in the US and fsubrett, correct me if I'm wrong, you have a 42 month lease which lowers your monthly payment significantly vs a 36 month lease so you can't use it as a comparison.
The nationally advertised lease deal at the mazdausa website has a 39 month lease for $269/month with zero due at signing so you would have only 38 payments (though I'm not crazy going past the warranty period). It includes the lease inception fee of $595 (that's probably the $895 marked up fee by your dealer). You would need to add the dealers doc fee and your title/registration. Where I live, that would add $700 to the cap cost so the payment would be $290 plus tax. Keep in mind, nationally advertised leases usually have a nice profit in them for the dealer so you should be able to do better.
As I mentioned earlier, I love my bells, whistles and styling. There is a ton of available technology on the Touring and even more on the GT but if I had to consider only the base model, I would have seriously considered the Accord LX. As a matter of fact, since I have been forgetting to turn on my headlights for over 40 years, I would have definitely gone with the Accord since the base has auto on/off and you need the Technology Package on Touring model to get that.
People go to Mazda because they usually have the sportiest rides in their segments. If that isn't your thing, the Accord may work best for you, both in terms of the car itself and your local pricing. (Check out the Prices Paid board for the Accord first). . It has aced all the IIHS and NHTSA crash tests. The Mazda has done well on the IIHS tests but yet to be tested by the NHTSA.
And don't get too excited about the passenger side camera that fsubrett mentioned. It is not on the base model0
Yes, i know the side camera thing is in the EX. But the LX has enough bells and whisltes as it is such as dual zone air conditioning.
It's also a shame that the dealer i went to, did not have a CTV automatic in stock. Only had the stick shift which doesn't have the LCD screen with the bluetooth and all. So i didn't get to see that.
I'm sure the Touring and Grand Touring have awesome features but they would certainly be priced out of my range. I agree that the LX has more bang for the bucks from the Mazda 6 i-Sport from what i could see and read.
Thanks for the info. I'll now give the Accord a test drive0
balthazar9 Posts: 19Hi CarMan,
Could you please find out the money factor and residuals for a base 2014 Mazda6 i Grand Touring and the i Touring with automatic transmission for 36mo/15k miles per year in the Philadelphia, PA region. Thanks!0
tgentile Posts: 1Hi CarMan,
Thanks for the service you provide! I would like to obtain the current money factor and residual for a 2014 Mazda6 GT AT. The term would be 36 months @ 15,000 mi/yr. I am in Central Florida.
gcampbell66 Posts: 1I am looking to either buy or lease a new Mazda 6 GT but I have never leased a vehicle before and am just learning the pros and cons of leasing. Has anyone already gone through the lease of this vehicle in the Southern California area? I would love to know what figures you used for lease financing, what annual mileage your got and if that can be negotiated, whether all Mazda dealers have the same lease options, what residual value you were given and anything else you feel is important in making a decision whether to buy or lease. If I do buy I would be financing the majority of the purchase price. I believe Mazda has great promotions on right now for both buying/financing and leasing so hard to determine which is the best option. I have a credit score over 700 if that makes a difference. Thanks for your time.0
I also would like the lease numbers on a 2014 Mazda6 Grand Touring (with Tech Pkg) for 36 months and 36K miles.
I am looking to lease this month because my current lease is up soon. Thank you!0
Just a few things to consider if you are leasing.
In a lease, you lose everything you pay at signing so I recommend you put all fees into the lease.
The residual is based on the lease term and miles per year and is not negotiable. Higher the residual, the lower the payment. Less miles per year will give you a higher residual and lower payment.
Payment is based on a formula using the residual, money factor and capitalized cost( the largest component of your capitalized cost is the selling price of the car). You need to find out the money factor for your credit level and the residual percentage, calculate your target capitalized cost that includes selling price/doc fees/lease inception fee/DMV fees, etc and then come up with the payment. You will negotiate from there. Don't just ask dealers for their monthly payment quote. One dealer might be significantly lower than others but if you do the math, you could discover he is charging you MSRP for the car.0
Car_Man has not posted in this forum since June 18 so it's apparent that he's not available or Edmunds isn't providing Hosts that give this info any more.
Does anyone else have a rough estimate on what the August MF and Residual value is for a 2014 Mazda 6 Grand Touring for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year? (New England market if that matters)
I have also e-mailed some dealers and I am waiting for a response, but I'd like to compare to an unbiased source.0
kyfdx Posts: 94,535.00023 and 60%, for MA, NY, NJ and CT...
It's only a 1% residual deduction for 15K/yr... (59%)
Dealers are allowed to mark up the money factor a maximum of .00050

The Sutta Pitaka, the second division of the Tipitaka, consists of more than 10,000 suttas, or discourses, delivered by the Buddha and his close disciples during and shortly after the Buddha's forty-five year teaching career, as well as many additional verses by other members of the Sangha. Over eight hundred sutta translations are available.
The Digha Nikaya, or "Collection of Long Discourses" (Pali digha = "long") is the first division of the Sutta Pitaka, and consists of thirty-four suttas, grouped into three vaggas, or divisions:
Silakkhandha-vagga -- The Division Concerning Morality (13 suttas)
Maha-vagga -- The Large Division (10 suttas)
Patika-vagga -- The Patika Division (11 suttas)

Tommy Shields will have a chance redo the ending with the Burlington Royals.
Shields will return for a second season with the Appalachian League baseball team. The 68-game regular season begins in June.
But it was a pair of games in September that brought the most anticipation and then anguish for Shields during the 2012 season.
That�s when the Royals lost two extra-inning games to the Elizabethton Twins in the league championship series. In the decisive Game 3, the Royals were within an out of the title with a five-run lead and couldn�t hold on.
�I have no idea of what you�re talking about,� Shields said jokingly when asked about the painful conclusion to an otherwise noteworthy season.
Several months later, it still boils.
�It�s the worst loss I�ve ever been a part of,� Shields said. �I�ve replayed it a thousand times and I would do a thousand different things. You have to move on.�
Shields was named the Appalachian League Manager of the Year as the Royals built a 41-25 regular-season record and won the East Division title.
Many of the 2012 Burlington players were on hand in the fall for the parent organization�s instructional league in Surprise, Ariz. That gave Shields a chance to further gage reaction from the devastating end to the season in what the manager referred to as �abrupt� conclusion.
�You talk through some things,� he said. �We could talk and joke and play ball.�
Since then, Shields said he had a good autumn bow-hunting for deer in both Pennsylvania, where he lives and in Illinois.
Shields will remain in a scouting role for the Kansas City organization until taking charge of the Burlington team in June. That was a similar set-up to last year. He�ll be sent around the country for about four months in the scouting capacity.
�I think I like working with the young kids,� he said. �It gives me flexibility to do both. When you break it up like that, you can do both.�
Unlike last year, he�ll concentrate on amateur scouting and there aren�t expected to be any professional scouting assignments for Shields in 2013, he said.
He was in Texas for a scouting function earlier this month.
�I told Lonnie (Goldberg, the organization�s scouting director) about three of those guys would look good in a Burlington uniform,� Shields said.
Shields� staff will consist of pitching coach Carlos Martinez, who was on board in the same capacity in 2012, hitting coach Abraham Nunez and trainer Saburo Hagihara. Nunez worked in the same capacity in the Dominican Summer League in 2012. A strength and conditioning coach has yet to be named.
All the managerial positions remained the same across the organization with the exception of in the Dominican Summer League.
�We�re stuck in the past,� Shields said. �That is unusual. Stability is always good.�
Last year�s Burlington hitting coach, Justin Gemoll, will be with the Lexington Legends of the Class A South Atlantic League.
Meanwhile, former Burlington manager Nelson Liriano will be the hitting coach for Class AA Northwest Arkansas.
Former Burlington hitting coach Damon Hollins goes to the Idaho Falls Chukars in the Pioneer League.
Last year�s Burlington strength and conditioning coach Jacob Campos has been assigned to the Arizona Rookie League team under ex-Burlington manager Darryl Kennedy.

Forurenings- & VOC begrænsning / ZEOL
Zeolite Rotor with Thermal Oxidizer
ZEOLITE Rotor Concentrators
Munters Zeolite Rotor Concentrator is fully integrated with a recuperative thermal oxidizer for VOC destruction. Solvent laden air is drawn through the Zeolite Rotor Concentrator where the VOCs are removed by adsorption. The rotor turns continuously transporting VOC laden Zeolite into an isolated regeneration zone where heated air is used to desorb the VOCs. The desorbate, a highly concentrated airstream typically 5-10% of the original exhaust volume, is directed to a thermal oxidizer equipped with heat exchangers. The primary heat exchanger is used to preheat the process air prior to combustion. The secondary heat exchanger is used to heat a slip stream of the process air that is used to regenerate the Zeolite rotor.
This equipment configuration can be used to treat any low VOC concentration exhaust air stream. The system is designed for 24/7 continuous operation and can be equipped with a variety of equipment options.
• Pre-filters are used to treat paint particulate
• Redundant process fans are used with VFD's for pressure control
• System bypass can be integrated to ensure 24/7 fab exhaust
PLC, and Man-Machine Interface all located in a main enclosure and designed for ease of use.
The system is fully assembled and tested to temperature in our ISO 9001 facility prior to shipment. This allows for easy installation and startup once onsite.

Glenn Ashby fires the warning cannon - from Sail-world.com-
The last A Class Catamaran race Glenn Ashby sailed on Lake Macquarie, north of Sydney, was when he won the 2009 World Championship. Today he fired a warning canon in the practice race for what will certainly be one of Australia's most competitively fought National titles, the 2012 John Cootes Furniture Australian A Class Championships being sailed once again on Australia's largest salt-water lake, the site of the 2009 A-Cat Worlds and the 2011 Moth Worlds. This is not a usual Country nationals, there are more medals clinking here than you can believe. These Championships will be a unique event on the world sailing scene bringing together a slew of America's Cup sailors along with three current World Champions; Tom Slingsby (four times Laser World Champion) from Gosford, Nathan Outteridge (three times 49er World Champion) from Wangi Wangi and Steve Brewin (A-Class World champion), all sailing these high performance, high tech A Class 18 foot catamarans. From the America's Cup arena come five sailors; Oracle America's Cup Syndicate Australian sailor James Spithill (skipper of 2010 America's Cup winner BMW Oracle) John Kostecki (ten World championships, U.S. Olympic silver medalist and tactician on 2010 America's Cup winning BMW Oracle), Dirk de Ridder (Volvo Ocean racer, BMW Oracle and Oracle AC45 mainsheet trimmer) Darren Bundock (14 catamaran World titles and two Olympic Silver medals) and Glenn Ashby (Emirates Team New Zealand, with 14 multihull World titles and two Olympic Silver medals) and three former Olympic medalists Andrew Landenberger, Chris Cairns and Scott Anderson. Today 69 boats took to the water for the practice race. In many classes that means two general recalls while the fleet tests the mettle of the PRO and then a bunch of retirementes after the top mark.
Not the A-Cats. PRO Tony Outteridge(Nathan's Dad) gunned the fleet away from a clean start and the fleet headed hard left. James Spithill was first to the top mark ahead of Glenn Ashby. Behind them the fleet was pushing hard, in the case of the 2011 A Class Catamaran World Champion Steve Brewin, too hard.
As Brewin accelerated from the top mark his hulls flew skywards to the right and then, as he fell off the back of the boat still on the trapeze, skidded hard left and capsized. As his mast hit the water there was that familiar crunching sound - broken mast and torn sail.
Down the run it was an Ashby 'master class'. He sailed away from the fleet and extended on every run.
Three windward leewards and 30 minutes later, Ashby crossed ahead of a smiling Darren Bundock. The two sailors won Olympic Tornado Silver in Qingdao, China and they have almost 30 World Championships between them in multihull classes.
Third was Andrew Williams, then Brad Collett, Andrew Landenberger and Stephen Brayshaw, followed by four times Laser World Champion Tom Slingsby, America's Cup winning helmsman James Spithill and dual 49er World Champion Nathan Outteridge. Just a few places back was Simon McKeon, for a long time the fastest sailor on the planet with Macquarie Yellow Pages. With just 24 days left as Australian of the Year, McKeon was having a blast back on the multihull scene.
The fleet was quickly back on the grass in front of the Wangi RSL Amateur Sailing Club with giant smiles everywhere, after a fast 20 knot hit out under azure blue skies.
Before the practice race Ashby had warned he was rusty - just two days on the water in A-Cats this year.
Ashby smiled. 'It was one of those days, pull on everything as hard as it goes and hit the left hand corner. One of those breezy days when its semi survival and semi pushing. I had a couple of good trapezing runs downwind and managed to pull away a couple of hundred metres.
'A good hit out and I am looking forward to tomorrow.'
At the top of the boat park Darren Bundock was explaining some finer technical points to his wife Carolijn Brouwer after her very first A-Cat outing. He felt she had done well just to get round without crashing.
'Not a bad practice race, a little breeze blew out the cobwebs. Glenn had it pretty wick'd up today. The guy is insane downwind.
'A lot of guys pushing really hard on the practice run, which is a bit strange really.
'I saw Stevie (Brewin) getting washed out the back still hanging onto the trapeze in mid air and thought 'that is going to hurt'.
'That was a good mast. He spent two days fitting it out and got half a race out of it so that's going to make for a long night.'
Simon McKeon said 'It was a bit of a war of attrition out there. It was five to six knots more than I was expected and the forecast is quite a bit heavier over the next couple of days.
'There are 20 full time professionals in this fleet and they will work overnight to make any repairs.'
James Spithill had a big grin. 'That was great, just happy to beat Glenn around the first mark. He overtook me pretty quickly down the run. Tom (Slingsby) got me just on the line and Nathan (Outteridge) was just behind me. Had a swim on the second run, so that cost me a few places. Not sure what happened to JK (John Kostecki and Dirk (de Ridder).
'But it was awesome, awesome, and just unreal. It does not get much better than that.'
Spithill was right - it was awesome racing and that was just the practice race. Watch this space!!
2012 John Cootes Furniture Australian A Class Championships commence January 3 and will continue until January 7 2012.

Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 2, White Sox 1 – June 19, 2012
The Cubs shoved it in the White Sox's face again, though in a more subtle way than last night. The Cubs took advantage of some White Sox mistakes and some lucky bounces to score their two runs, and the pitching made sure that was enough. Travis Wood was solid in his six innings of work, and the bullpen didn't allow a run.
And, hey, the Cubs finally won a one-run game!

Old mill
Preservationists aim to make Drew Mill in Union a working museumBy LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader September 04. 2013 9:29PM
Union Village Community Association Director Richard House (right) and UVCA Engineering Committee Chair Richard Mauser (left) pose with the steam powered "Fitchburg" engine that was used at the Drew Mill in Union. The engine, which is located in the basement of the Mill, is at least 120 years old. (LARISSA MULKERN PHOTO)
UNION — The paint is chipped and the windows bordered up, but signs of life are apparent at the historic Drew Mill and Dam where preservationists are hard at work, especially behind the scenes.
The Union Village Community Association (UVCA) is championing efforts to refurbish the mill and dam, located in the Wakefield village of Union, for use as a working museum of antique mill technology — water, steam and electric powered engines — that was once used to run manufacturing equipment.
Built in the late 1870s, the Lower Falls Dam was one of five dams on the Branch River in Union Village, and one of two dams still standing. The dam was first used to power a woolen mill that burned down in 1908 and soon after, Lyle Drew erected another mill building where a variety of wood products, including children's toys, railings and drumsticks, were manufactured. In 1977, a new owner took over and refurbished the mill and dam to generate electricity. Eventually, a New York-based furniture company — Charles P. Rogers Company — bought the property but was unable to upgrade the mill and it fell into disrepair.
UVCA Director Richard House and UVCA Engineering Committee Chair Richard Mauser escorted a tour of the property on Wednesday when they explained that the Charles P. Rogers Company of New York City donated the dam and mill — and $2,500 in seed money towards preservation efforts — in 2011.
Preservation efforts
Soon after, the UVCA acquired its nonprofit status from the IRS, enabling it to accept tax-deductible donations and raise money to cover many aspects of renovations, including engineering studies, state fees and local taxes. The association has held a number of volunteer work days at the site, where community members have most recently scraped the exterior paint.
"It doesn't look like much, but we have one third of the building scraped on one Saturday … by the time the snow flies we'll have the front of the building painted," said House.
Yet one should not judge an old building by its cover. The Drew Mill and Dam was selected by the New Hampshire Preservation Alliance for its 2012 "Seven to Save" list. The list focuses attention and resources on significant historic properties in New Hampshire that are threatened by neglect, deterioration, insufficient funds, inappropriate development, and/or insensitive public policy, according to the "Seven to Save" website.
Most recently, it was named eligible for certification to the state's Register of Historic Places. House credits esteemed state historian James Garvin, Ph.D., with advancing the association's efforts to protect the mill and dam as a heritage site. Garvin, who retired after serving as the State Architectural Historian for the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources and who also worked as curator for the New Hampshire Historical Society, consults on many projects around the state.
"He took a serious interest in this project," said House. Garvin prepared much of the history on the property including the "Drew Mill Individual Inventory" now on file with the New Hampshire Division of Historical Resources.
Historical significance
In that document, he noted that the Drew Mill is one of nine water powered woodworking mills that survive in New Hampshire out of many hundreds, and probably thousands, that once occupied nearly every available site on every perennial stream in the state.
"As one of the last to operate commercially, producing turnings, wooden novelties and toys, the Drew Mill represents a paradigm of a long tradition of water powered manufacture of forest based products in the state," he wrote in the inventory.
Mauser is a retired engineer and specialist in hydroelectric power who helped build dozens of plants during his working years. Another unique fact about the Drew Mill, he said, is that it is a rare example of a mill that used three power sources throughout the years — water, steam and electric — to operate its lathes and equipment.
"We would like this to become a demonstration site of antique technology," he said. While many of the tools and machines have been sold for scrap over the years, the largest piece remains — The Fitchburg steam engine takes up its own room in the basement of the mill.
House and Mauser invite the public to assist in renovation efforts or to donate to the cause. Middleton Lumber has donated lumber towards the project, and engineer Don Woods has also provided free on-site consultations.

POPLARVILLE — Pearl River's Lady Wildcats split with Copiah-Lincoln's Lady Wolfpack in MACJC South Division doubleheader softball action here Saturday, falling 5-4 in the first game before bombing their visitors 6-1 in the nightcap.
PRCC is now 20-14 overall and 9-7 in division play following the split, while CLCC is 19-15-1 and 6-12.
In the Lady Wildcats' loss, Co-Lin jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning and never relinquished the lead.
After River starter Brittany LeBlanc out of Vermillion High in Maurice, La., struck out lead off batter Kaitlin Moak, she walked Josie Porter before belting Karla Beth Hux with a pitch. After Porter stole third, she was sacrificed home by Missy Romero with a fly ball to center for the game's first run.
LeBlanc then walked Shelby Mitchell and Hannah Roberts followed with an RBI double to left and Bradi Davis answered with a two-run triple to right to make it 4-0 before Kayla Craft fouled out to catcher Kelsea Lewis of Oak Grove High.
Pearl River scored a solo run in the bottom of the inning when lead off Whitney Waits of Oak Grove High reached and wound up on second base on the first of six Co-Lin errors, moved to third off a sacrifice bunt by Megan Scronce of Petal High, and scored off a sacrifice fly to center by Emily Jackson out of Theodore High in Mobile, Ala., before Lewis grounded out to third to end the inning.
In the top of the second, lead off Elizabeth Cliburn blooped a single to left and Moak doubled off an error. After Porter lined out to third base, Lewis pulled off a double play when she snagged Hux's foul ball and tagged Moak for the final out.
The Lady Wildcats saw Courtney Warr, another Theodore High recruit, get things rolling in the bottom of the inning with a one-out, line-drive single to left. After LeBlanc walked, Kaci Lantrip of Terry High struck out, but Shannon Brown of Petal High followed with an RBI double to left to make it 4-2. Waits fouled out to the catcher to end the inning.
That score remained intact until the top of the fifth when Romero drew a two-out walk, Mitchell singled to left center, and Romero scored off Hannah Roberts' single to left for Co-Lin's final run. Bradi Davis got the third out when she took a swipe, but was ruled out of the batter's box.
Pearl River loaded the bases in the bottom of the frame, but couldn't cash in. After lead off Jackson popped out, Lewis doubled to the center field fence and Warr walked an out later. LeBlanc followed with a single to load the corners, but Lantrip popped out to third to end the inning.
The Lady Wolfpack went three up, three down in the top of the sixth; but the Lady Wildcats scored the game's final two runs in the bottom of the inning.
Brown led off with a single to left and Waits reached on a fielder's choice, stole second, and scored when Scronce wound up at second base off an error. After Jackson grounded out, Lewis belted an RBI single to left center to make it 5-4 before Heather Boutwell of Oak Grove High flew out to right to end the inning.
Co-Lin managed a base runner in the top of the seventh, while Pearl River threatened in the bottom of the frame. Warr led off with a single before LeBlanc reached on a fielder's choice. Lantrip then reached on a fielder's choice, but LeBlanc courtesy runner Micah Davis of Poplarville High was safe at second.
Brown and Waits then saw back-to-back fly outs to left field to end the game.
Starter Brooke Gonzales (14-7) got the win in going the distance, giving up seven hits, striking out two, and walking three; while starter LeBlanc (9-5) got the loss. She also pitched the distance, giving up five hits, striking out two, walking four, and hitting a batter.
Cliburn led CLCC at the plate with a pair of singles, while David tripled and Relanda McFarland and Kalyn McNabb both had base hits.
Brown and Lewis both doubled and singled to lead PRCC, while Warr had two singles and Lantrip had a base hit.
Copiah-Lincoln committed six errors in the game to Pearl River's five.
In the nightcap, the Lady Wildcats went up 1-0 in the bottom of the first before the Lady Wolfpack tied it up in the top of the second. In the bottom of the third, The River blew it open with a five-run barrage.
Starter Neely McCrary (8-6) of Petal High got the win in going the distance, giving up seven hits and striking out three; while starter Meghan Johnson (5-7) got the loss in her two-and-two-thirds innings on the mound. She gave up five hits, struck out two, walked one, and hit three batters before Chynna Coughlin relieved with two outs in the third. She gave up one hit.
Both teams managed six hits in the game with Davis, Cliburn, Hux, Mitchell, Moak, and Roberts all singling for CLCC, while Lantrip tripled for PRCC and Hillary Dickens of Picayune High, Lewis, Waits, and Warr all had base hits.
Both squads committed two errors each in the contest.
The Lady Wildcats resume South Division action Monday when they travel to East Central in Decatur for a 1 p.m. make up doubleheader (originally scheduled for April 6, but rained out), then PRCC hits the road to take on fifth-ranked South Division leader Mississippi Gulf Coast in Perkinston Wednesday for a 3 p.m. twin bill.
Following its Gulf Coast doubleheader, three more match ups remain in the regular season, including division foe Hinds at home on Saturday (12 noon), No. 1-ranked LSU-Eunice at home Tuesday, April 23 (3 p.m.), and division rival East Central Saturday, April 27 (12 noon).
The top four finishers in the North and South divisions earn berths in the MACJC State Tournament set for May 2-4 at the home field of the South Division champion.
The South Division standings through Saturday's play sees Gulf Coast leading the way at 15-3, followed by fourth-ranked Jones County at 12-4, East Central 10-6, and Pearl River. Southwest Mississippi is still in the race at 6-10.
The North standings see East Mississippi in first at 10-4, followed by Itawamba at 11-5, and Northeast Mississippi and Northwest Mississippi at 9-5. Holmes is still in the hunt at 10-8.
River splits with Co-Lin
POPLARVILLE — Pearl River's Lady Wildcats split with Copiah-Lincoln's Lady Wolfpack in MACJC South Division doubleheader softball action here Saturday, falling 5-4 in the first game before bombing their visitors 6-1 in the nightcap.

Torben Ranthe, 39, fisherman of Aarsdale. His fishing quotas are for cod and salmon.
© OCEAN2012/Roberto Grifoni
Published in Corriere della Sera, January 19 2012
Blue eyes, a face that seems to have been sculpted from wood, strong hands and a strong physique. Torben Ranthe, 39 years old, from Bornholm, Denmark, has Viking blood in his veins. On board his boat he puts away his gear, and while he scrutinises the grey sea of a Baltic winter, he resembles one of those ancient explorers, a bit merchant, a bit pirate, who set sail from the fjords in their warships to conquer new lands.
But Torben is a fisherman and has never ventured far with his boat. At most some miles in the direction of Russia in search of salmon. When he returns from fishing, he reserves a few good specimens for Henning Jensen, who lives not far from him, at Aarsdale, and has one of the four remaining smokehouses on the island.
Like the majority of the small-scale Danish fishermen, Torben doesn't have it easy. He studied to be a mechanic but a passion for the sea led him every summer during vacations to go to sea on a fishing boat. Until in 1995 he bought his own boat, 12 metres. He lived well, so much so that he imagined a future and having a family. Then things changed. That which had been a traditional occupation, which for centuries had maintained entire generations, became a job which didn't provide enough to live on. Because in the sea there are always fewer fish, because market prices collapsed and because in Denmark, since 2003, a law has been in force that complicates the fishermen's lives, and economy a good deal. What does this law say? That in order to resolve the problem of the scarcity of fish stocks, the fleet must be reduced. Fewer fish, fewer boats, in other words. But the problem has not been resolved. And so a quota system was introduced, to regulate the quantity of fishing.
Torben's story is of interest to us because it could become the story of all the small-scale fishermen of Europe. The European Commission would in fact like to impose this system on all the member countries of the Community. Italy would find itself having to confront the same problems that today afflict Torben and his mates. Multiplied though, because in Italy, coastal fishing vessels represent more than 50% of the fishing fleet.
On one thing everyone agrees: something must be done. The lack of adequate controls, the development of technology that has made catching more efficient – but with greater environmental impact - and the lack of environmental awareness by the majority of fishermen, have resulted in catches progressively exceeding the level that could guarantee the recovery of fish stocks. The result has been devastating: 82% of Mediterranean stocks and 63% of those in the Atlantic are today being subjected to overexploitation, landings have dramatically declined and the fishing sector faces an uncertain future.
The response from Brussels is called the TFC System that foresees a system of transferable fishing concessions. This means that each fishing vessel will have the right, for a duration of 15 years, to a percentage of the fishing quota allocated each year to each country, and that every fisherman can sell, buy or lease quotas to or from others, even partially.
The objective is to guarantee to all, on paper, a slice of the market in proportion to their fishing capacity. But it is easy to see that the trading system creates a sort of privatization of fisheries. In particular where there is a decline in fish stocks, the fisherman who finds himself in economic difficulty because fish are scarce and prices have fallen, will be pushed into selling. The quotas end up in the hands of a few, such as the owners of the economically stronger, large fishing vessels that fish beyond coastal waters, who already have a consistent volume of catch (taken, among other things, with fishing gear that is less sustainable for the environment). Bringing the smallest fishermen to their knees, if not pushing them completely out of the market, and creating, as it were, an oligopoly of the sea.
OCEAN2012, a coalition of environmental organisations and associations of small-scale fishermen dedicated to stopping overfishing and to bringing an end to the practice of destructive fishing, together with organisations such as Greenpeace and Living Seas, are mobilised, also at Community level, to steer the fisheries reform towards a policy that addresses the recovery of fish stock as a priority.
"Denmark has significantly reduced its fleet, but at the cost of many fishermen who practiced a more sustainable fishery than that of the large fishing vessels, where today most of the fishing quotas are concentrated. Transferring the same system to the Mediterranean, where small-scale fishing prevails, could be a fatal error." Domitilla Senni, OCEAN2012
"In Nexo, one of the main ports of Bornholm, in 2005 there were 49 fishing boats. Today there are 29. Which, however, maintain the overall tonnage of the quotas. The same thing has happened in the other ports of the island, so much so that from a total number of 150 boats six years ago, today we are down to 98."
Jeppe Host, a researcher at the University of Copenhagen
A reality that also concerns other fisheries-related economic activities. Jens Skovgard, head of the Bornholm union, testifies to this. "In the 1980s we represented 200 crew members employed on fishing vessels, and considering that most were family-owned boats, one can say that this was a good number. Today they are 25. At the time there was a lot of activity in the shipyards and above all there was a flourishing processing industry. We had eight processing plants with around 2000 employees. The largest was Esperen, which alone employed 1000-1200 people. Then the fish began to decline and little by little the industries closed down. Esperen still exists but has delocalised. First it opened in Poland, then also in Lithuania, China and Vietnam. The fisheries crisis for us started in the 1980s, and no one did anything to stop it. As a matter of fact, the introduction of the transferable quota system has contributed to its drastic acceleration."
"The fisheries crisis for us started in the 1980s... As a matter of fact, the introduction of the transferable quota system has contributed to its drastic acceleration." Jens Skovgard, head of the Bornholm union.
The numbers confirm this: in the port of Tejn, in the '80s, there were 53 fishing boats. Today there are five. Some sold out of necessity, others let themselves be tempted by the value of the quotas and the immediate income that could be gained.
It went well for Ivar Arvitsen. At 64, already at retirement age, he sold his boat and his quotas, making a nice nest-egg, and, not having a family, has declared himself satisfied with the results.
Somewhat less contented is Tommy Andersen, 54 years old: "I started fishing at 14 and for the past 25 years have always had my own boat. Five months ago I decided to sell my quota. There is increasingly less fish, the prices are increasingly lower, and when you take away your costs from what you earn there is almost nothing left. I had hoped to find a land-based job but it was impossible because the fisheries-related economy is also suffering. You can find some occasional work in the summer with the tourists, but you can't live all year with that. So, since I had kept my boat, I began fishing again by leasing a quota. I pay four Kroner for every kilo of fish, when I sell it I earn eight, and after deducting costs almost nothing is left. I earn half of what I earned before, but if I had sold my boat I wouldn't even have this income. Because those who leave the sector can't get back in: the quotas cost too much and to buy them you have to go into debt with the banks. And with the crisis it's difficult to find someone to grant you a loan."
Henning Finne, fisherman of Listed. His quotas provide for a catch of 80 tonnes of salmon per year. He does the work his father did, "but I hope that my children find another profession."
© OCEAN2012/Roberto Grifoni
Indeed, the crisis has spared no one, not even Henning Finne, who has a boat at Listed (one of four remaining in the port) with which he fishes for salmon. "There are salmon, here in the Baltic. Except that the law prohibits us from catching those that are more than 3 kilos. This means that you have to be at sea for much longer to have an adequate catch. And with the cost of fuel today it means that your earnings are halved. I've been a fisherman all my life and want to continue, but everything is pushing me to stop, to sell the quotas and to suggest to my children that they choose a different profession. I do what my father did. For them this will no longer be possible."
To purchase a boat, acquire quotas…That comes to around one million Euro. No, it doesn't seem easy for a young Dane to become a fisherman. "In ten, fifteen years there will no longer be any small boats on Bornhom," says Torben bitterly.
And the problem is larger than it seems. Because the value of small-scale fishing is based not only on the numbers that it represents on the global market. In a country like Denmark, on an island like Bornholm (but the same could be said of Italy and its hundreds of towns along the coast), fishermen like Torben, Tommy, Ivar and Henning represent the history, the tradition, the culture, the social fabric and the very identity of the community.
Mogens Schou is the consultant with the Danish Ministry of Fisheries who follows the application of the law on transferible quotas, of which he is a convinced supporter. "The number one problem was one of over-capacity of the fleet and the objective was to reduce the number of vessels. This has been achieved: in 2000 we had 4.141 fishing boats, in 2010 there were 2.822. Logically to reach this point someone had to be expelled from the sector, but today Danish fisheries are in good health." And the problem of the scarcity of the stock? "That should no longer be addressed at the economic level but rather at the environmental level, and the only solution is the reduction of the quotas." Fewer boats, fewer fishermen. How can a young person today enter the sector? "To be registered as a fisherman it is necessary to work for at least two years as a crew member and demonstrate that 60 per cent of one's income derives from fishing. But for young people we also offer training in schools, for which every year 500 to 600 students sign up. We teach them the technical aspects of fishing but also safety at sea and environmental protection."

Update: "Little man finally told us his name: Bastian Kick Sisto," the actor Tweets.
Originally posted March 14: Jeremy Sisto is a dad again!
The Suburgatory star and wife Addie Lane welcomed a son on Friday, March 9 in Los Angeles, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
"Unnamed boy is healthy as is Mom. Thanks for your wishes," Sisto Tweeted, jokingly adding, "Don't tell my wife I had two glasses of wine while she had an epidural."
Sisto, 37, announced in December that Lane was expecting their second child, who joins big sister Charlie-Ballerina, 2½.
"Just bought a teddy bear to give to my daughter 'from' her newborn brother," he writes. "Considering drizzling some placenta on it for believability."
When it comes to naming their son, perhaps the couple will hit the books as they did with their daughter.
"My wife went through the dictionary, page by page, looking for words that weren't normally names," the actor explained about how they came up with Charlie-Ballerina.
For now though, baby boy remains nameless.
"We got an extension at the hospital, but on Friday we do have to go down and put something in," Sisto explained Wednesday while appearing on LIVE! with Kelly.
"If we don't have it by then, I think it'll be 'Baby Boy'. We're going to be filing extensions for a while. If naming babies is anything like doing homework, then it'll take [me] a while to name this kid."
All jokes aside, "My wife is stressing about it," he admits. "I'm hoping something magical happens — [something] that makes me think, 'Of course this is supposed to be his name.'"
The actor and Lane tied the knot in October 2009 at City Hall in New York.

"Wet", "Muddy" and "Poetic"
These are the words often used to describe Film Simulation mode "CLASSIC CHROME"
If you are thinking about shooting in CLASSIC CHROME mode, then your current choices are either X-T1, X100T, X30, X-A2 or XQ2. Among these, the XQ2 would be the most affordable choice, but don't think this is only what the camera can offer.
Here is a photo taken by Polish photographer Tomasz Lazar with XQ2 . He is a street photography virtuoso and has been using XQ series ever since the XQ1 came out.
XQ series is among his indispensable equipment for his work. "It's compact so I can take it everywhere. The small camera doesn't intimidate people when shooting. And I can take photos day and night with a good result," says Tomasz.
He continues to testify that "CLASSIC CHROME adds depth to the photo by creating shade, which is an important element when shooting street photography."
XQ2 with CLASSIC CHROME is a style of photography that makes sense.

Supporters to ask Legislature for later last call for barsBy BILL SMITH
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 17. 2013 10:17PM
MANCHESTER - Folks on the late shift could stop for a cocktail on the way home under a plan for a later last call for drinking in New Hampshire.
State law currently fixes a 1 a.m. closing time for establishments with a license to serve alcoholic beverages to be consumed on the premises.
The state Legislature is being asked to extend the hours until 2 a.m.
Supporters say it makes sense for New Hampshire to align closing time with nearby jurisdictions.
State laws in Massachusetts and Vermont allow bars to remain open until 2 a.m. In Maine bars must close by 1 a.m., but can open at 6 a.m. In Quebec, closing time is 3 a.m.
Backers of extended hours for drinking establishments say it will increase employment, provide more meals tax revenue and give cities and towns a weapon in the war on problem or under-aged drinking.
With the later closing hour, any bar, lounge or restaurant which serves someone who is already drunk or who is under 21 years old would automatically lose the privilege of the later closing hour for three years.
Advocates of later last call suggest it is is a powerful incentive for license holders to be on guard against serving the under-aged or the inebriated.
"Local communities are struggling with these issues, especially in the college communities," said State Rep. Ruth Heyden, D-Milford. "It's the whole issue of looking at alcohol, do we have the will to say we need to deal with this problem."
"New Hampshire is one of the few states in the country where these establishments close at 1 a.m.," said Rep. Emily Sandblade, R-Manchester. "There are 47 states where they stay open until at least 2 a.m. We are losing business along the border areas, especially near Massachusetts."
In Massachusetts and Vermont, local authorities have the power to specify an earlier closing time, either generally or for specific establishments.
The New Hampshire proposal would require local communities to pass an ordinance to opt-out of the later state-wide closing time.
Sandblade said early estimates say businesses could see a 10 percent increase in revenues by staying open the extra hour.
"We surveyed business owners, and half of them said they would be interested in staying open until 2 a.m.," said Sandblade. "There were some who felt their town just shut down too early to make it worthwhile, but we would expect those in the more urban areas like Manchester to want to stay open."
But Heden said that later closing hours could mean people who have already been drinking will continue to drink, a particular concern in college communities and for people working to reduce drunken driving.
"People in my community, in Milford, are really concerned about people driving home under the influence" Heder said. "This is a real issue, at Keene (State) with their loss of a student recently, they've instigated some really good programs,"
In 2007, a Keene student was accidentally shot to death in an incident police blamed on under-aged drinking.
The proposal to allow sale of liquor by-the-drink until 2 a.m. is House Bill 175. It is expected to come to a vote in the House of Representatives on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Heder said she is looking into whether it would be possible to amend the proposal so that a community would have to accept the later closing hour before it could take effect.
"It would encourage the towns to have a nice conversation about what to do , to weigh the issues and to agree as a community how do we want to approach this," she said.
New Hampshire Union Leader staff reporter Paul Feely contributed to this report.

Model Information: Walthers introduced this model in the 1990s. It is made in China.
Prototype History:
Road Name History:
CN is the largest railway in Canada, in terms of both revenue and the physical size of its rail network, and is currently Canada's only transcontinental railway company, spanning Canada from the Atlantic coast in Nova Scotia to the Pacific coast in British Columbia. Its range once reached across the island of Newfoundland until 1988, when the Newfoundland Railway was abandoned.
Following CN's purchase of Illinois Central (IC) and a number of smaller US railways, it also has extensive trackage in the central United States along the Mississippi River valley from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Today, CN owns about 20,400 route miles (32,831 km) of track in 8 provinces (the only two not served by CN are Newfoundland & Labrador and Prince Edward Island), as well as a 70-mile (113 km) stretch of track (see Mackenzie Northern Railway) into the Northwest Territories to Hay River on the southern shore of Great Slave Lake; it is the northernmost rail line anywhere within the North American Rail Network, as far north as Anchorage, Alaska (although the Alaska Railroad goes further north than this, it is isolated from the rest of the rail network).
The railway was referred to as the Canadian National Railways (CNR) between 1918 and 1960, and as Canadian National/Canadien National (CN) from 1960 to the present.

Brand/Importer Information:
Within five years, Walthers had grown so much that larger quarters were needed. Space was found on Erie Street, where everything -- from milled wood parts to metal castings to decals -- was made in-house. 1937 also saw a new line in HO Scale, featured in its own catalog. Bill brought operating layouts to the 1939 World's Fair, which gave the hobby a big boost. Soon, though, the growing possibility of war overshadowed these successes, and supplies were becoming increasingly difficult to obtain.
During the war, model manufacturers were ordered to stop production in order to conserve critical metal supplies. Walthers produced what it could from nonessential materials. A series of ads in 1943 saw Bill literally scraping the bottom of a barrel! The postwar boom meant rapid growth for the hobby; however, small homes and new families left no room for O scale layouts, and many modelers moved to HO Scale.
The next twenty years brought great change. In 1958, Bill retired and his son Bruce took over. Just as full-size railroads were being hard-hit by new technology, so too were model railroads. Leisure time was spent in front of the TV set, not the train set. In 1960, Walthers became a full-line distributor of other manufacturers' products while continuing expansion of the Walthers lines. By the start of the 1970's, business was booming again, and Bruce's son Phil joined the company.
Expansion and diversification continue under Phil's tenure. The establishment of the Walthers Importing Division added several international lines. The manufacturing plant was modernized. Code 83 track was introduced in 1985, giving layouts more realistic proportions. In 1990, the Cornerstone Series buildings were unveiled. Combining a freight car with a related industry, the Cornerstone Series makes it possible for modelers to duplicate authentic operations, enhancing layout realism. The Train Line Deluxe Sets and locomotives debuted in 1994. These sets feature the detailing of serious models and an affordable price -- allowing newcomers to get started, and then build-on to their first set, rather than replacing it.
In 2005, Walthers purchased Life-Like from Lifoam Industries. With this purchase Walthers acquired the Proto Lines that have become the backbone of their locomotive and rolling stock segments.
Today, Walthers continues to expand, improve and develop a wide range of products. Their latest selection can be found throughout Walthers.com and their printed catalogs, along with items from over 300 other manufacturers.

"It puts another layer of protection on the Ridgewood Reservoir," said Steven Fiedler, chair of the board's Parks Committee. "If we can get them to put it on the National Registry of Historic Places, that means they could never touch it again and it has to stay nature."
It would also open the Highland Park site up to federal grants for improvements such as pathways, elevators, and bridges.
The 19th century-era Ridgewood Reservoir provided water to Brooklyn, but became obsolete once the city began getting its water from the Catskills in 1936
Over time, nature took over and the site became a wetland. It was decommissioned by the Department of Environmental Conservation in 1990, and in 2004 it was given to the Parks Department.
There was talk of it being filled in to construct athletic fields, but now the Parks Department is committed to preserving the space and supports the historic designation.
"Parks is fully committed to preserving the dam as natural open space," a spokesperson said.

DULUTH, Minn.—A judge has ordered a Duluth head shop at the heart of the city's fight over synthetic drugs to remain closed pending a hearing Tuesday.
The Duluth News Tribune reports ( http://bit.ly/14rNX2W) the St. Louis County District Judge Eric Hylden signed the order Friday evening after a Duluth police officer bought synthetic drugs from the Last Place on Earth, which is not licensed to sell them under a new city ordinance.
Owner Jim Carlson is prohibited from reopening at least until a formal hearing Tuesday in state court in Duluth. Police are authorized to lock and secure the building if he fails to comply.
U.S. District Judge Michael Davis on Thursday denied Carlson's motion for a preliminary injunction to keep the city from enforcing its synthetic drug licensing ordinance.
Information from: Duluth News Tribune, http://www.duluthnewstribune.com
