react to even the most minor system imbalances to ensure optimum system
operating performance. The P-U-L-S-E 3S fouling analyzer is a plug-and-
play technology that is installed in-line with low investment required by the

specifically developed for use in self-scaling systems and formulated using
patented, next generation polymers. The Performax 3 product range
includes phosphate- and nitrogen-free chemistries, and is available in higher

medical care, an increase of 16 percent from 2007, which added to their costs, according
to the report.

Maloney Steps Down From Post With Cubs Go to Complete List »

Frank Maloney is stepping down in December as senior director of ticket operations after
29 years with the Cubs. With his retirement, the Cubs are losing another link to the era
of former general manager Dallas Green.

A Chicago native, Mr. Maloney joined the Cubs in 1981, after 17 years as a football
coach. He guided Mount Carmel, his high school alma mater, to the city championship
in 1967, then spent six years as an assistant coach at Michigan, where he was an All-Big
Ten guard and linebacker in the early 1960s.

He was the head coach for six years at Syracuse, where his staff included Bears General Sticky movie lines

The Cubs set numerous attendance records during Mr. Maloneys tenure and have
drawn more than 3 million fans for seven straight seasons dating to 2004. Their letter
announcing almost annual ticket price increases also went out over his signature.
ADVERTISEMENTS

Its time to do something a little less stressful, Mr. Maloney said. He will remain with
the Cubs as a consultant through 2011. Find your dream home with
