Monday, May 20, 2013
In the weeks leading up to the draft, Perfect Game will be providing a detailed overview of each state in the U.S., including the District of Columbia, as well as Canada and Puerto Rico. These overviews will list the state's strengths, weaknesses and the players with the best tools, as well as providing scouting reports on all Group 1 and 2 players as ranked in Perfect Game's state-by-state scouting lists.

Wisconsin State-by-State List
Although Wisconsin typically doesn't produce impact level talent that factors into the early rounds of the draft, 2013 could mark the second year in a row in which a player from the state is drafted in the top five rounds. Slugging outfielder Nathan Mikolas was taken in the third round a year ago by the New York Yankees, and live-armed Wisconsin-Milwaukee closer Josh Uhen looks to match that round this year.
With very good size and the ability to routinely peak at 97 mph, reaching triple digits at times, Uhen offers a rare power arm from the state. After Uhen the talent thins out considerably, although it does offer future promise amongst its prep crop, which includes a quartet of players with commitments to prominent D-I baseball programs. This is notable considering the state has sent some of its top high school players to schools in other states only to be drafted in early rounds three years later, the most recent example being Adam Brett Walker, who was also selected in the third round a year ago (Twins) out of Jacksonville University.

TOP PROSPECTS - GROUPS 1 and 2
GROUP 2 (rounds 4-10)
1. JOSH UHEN, rhp, Wisconsin-Milwaukee (RS So.)
Uhen underwent Tommy John surgery almost two years ago during his freshman year in March of 2011. That injury coincided at a similar time when Washington Nationals ace Stephen Strasburg also had the same procedure, and Uhen was placed on almost the identical rehab and strengthening program. The results were very encouraging, as Uhen responded by flirting with triple digits upon his return last spring, something he continues to do, although he tossed only 12 1/3 innings during his red-shirt freshman season. With an incredibly live arm and good feel for his breaking pitch, Uhen routinely peaks at 97 mph during his relief appearances for Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He quickly passes the eye test as an athletic, well proportioned 6-foot-4, 205-pound righty that has no shortage of arm speed. The biggest problem for scouts is having the opportunity to see him pitch. He serves as his team's closer, and is used strictly in a short relief role with no set schedule as to when he's expected to take the mound, appearing once or twice a week for a team, and in a conference (Horizon League), that doesn't boast much draftable talent. He has four saves in 20 appearances, all out of the bullpen, with a 2.84 ERA in 19 innings of work. He has allowed only 14 hits, and he's struck out 18 batters, but he has also walked 21. Most are willing to look past his control problems, hoping it resolves itself over time as he's fully recovered from surgery, given how seemingly effortlessly hard he throws. His size and stuff are simply too good to ignore, and he's expected to be drafted in the top 3-5 rounds.
JACOB SPARGER, rhp, Memorial HS (Eau Claire)
While traditionally not a talent-rich state when it comes to the draft, Wisconsin has provided prominent D-I programs from across country with talent in recent years. Jacob Sparger (Louisville), Nick Kanavas (Arizona), Tony Butler (Virginia) and Evan Kruczynski (East Carolina) aren't expected to be selected in a signable round this year, but could be names to watch three years from now coming out of college. Sparger offers the most upside of this group. At 6-foot-5, 180-pounds, he oozes projectability, with a very loose and clean arm action that makes it easy to envision an increase from his current upper-80s velocity in 2-3 years as he continues to mature physically. In addition, Louisville has a knack for developing young arms which also plays in his favor.

The Effect of Electrode Temperature on Vacuum Electrical Breakdown between Plane‐Parallel Copper Electrodes39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656718View Description Hide Description
Combined measurements of current‐voltage, prebreakdown characteristics, and breakdown voltage have been made for plane‐parallel, copperelectrodes in ultrahigh vacuum as a function of both cathode initial temperature and anode initial temperature. These measurements have been carried out for an electrode separation of 0.1 cm over the temperature range from 313° to 913°K. From the experimental data the temperatures of the hottest point of the cathode surface, (TC )s, and of the anode surface, (TA )s, at breakdown have been determined as a function of electrode initial temperature. Over the whole range of the investigation it is found that (TA )s is greater than (TC )s. Moreover, the calculated values of (TA )s at breakdown are essentially independent of anode initial temperature and have a mean value of (1100±150)°K. In contrast, the values of (TC )s at breakdown increase with increasing values of cathode initial temperature. The results suggest that a thermal instability of a point on the anode surface leads to breakdown. A model for the breakdown mechanism is presented in terms of electronavalanche amplification of current in copper vapor. The vapor is generated by the detachment of an anode macroparticle and its subsequent evaporation during its transit to the cathode. The prebreakdown current plays an important role in the breakdown mechanism since it causes the initial thermal instability at the anode surface and, in addition, provides the necessary source of bombardment for evaporating the macroparticle.
Laser‐Produced Plasmas from Solid Deuterium Targets39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656719View Description Hide Description
A 2 GW laser interacts with a solid deuterium target. Framing and streak pictures give the evolution of the plasma for different cases of focusing. A tentative interpretation is suggested.
Electromagnetic Scattering by a Moving Small Particle39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656720View Description Hide Description
The problem of scattering of a plane electromagnetic wave by a small particle which is moving uniformly in vacuum is investigated. On the basis of the covariance of Maxwell's equations and the principle of phase invariance, the scattered field and the scattering cross section are obtained for a small particle with spherical symmetry which is composed of an arbitrary isotropic material. Then the general scattering formula is applied to the following four cases: (a) a dielectric or permeable particle, (b) a perfectly conducting particle, (c) a charged particle, and (d) a plasma particle. It is found that the scattered radiation is concentrated, in general, in the direction of motion. In addition, it is shown that the scattering cross section increases monotonically with the increase of the velocity when a particle is moving toward the incident wave, while it decreases monotonically when it is moving away from the incident wave.
Undegassed and Degassed Exploding Tungsten Wires in Vacuum39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656721View Description Hide Description
Undegassed and degassedtungstenwires, initially coated with an impurity layer of tungsten oxide and graphite, have been exploded in a vacuum of 2×10−6 Torr and at an initial capacitor voltage of 20 kV. Correlated x‐ray and electrical measurements of these wires indicate that the x‐ray emission from the wires begins prior to the appearance of the shunting discharge. The hard x‐ray burst emitted has a half‐amplitude width of about 25×10−9 sec and is reproducible from explosion to explosion provided the initial conditions are identical. The emission of hard x rays but not the main discharge current is influenced by the gases initially adsorbed by the wiresurface. Finally, the main discharge current, but not the emission of hard x rays, is influenced by the impurity layer.
Electrical Conductivity and Superconductivity in the γ Phase of the Tl–Te System39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656722View Description Hide Description
Two methods for the preparation of single crystals of the γ phase of the Tl–Te system, Tl5Te3, are described. An analysis of electrical resistivity data on both single‐crystal and polycrystallinematerial over the temperature range 4.2° to 500°K and thermal conductivity data on polycrystallinematerial over the temperature range 77° to 360°K indicates metallic behavior. Typical electrical characteristics at 300°K are: resistivity 2.5×10−4Ω·cm, carrier concentration 1.5×1022/cm3, and mobility 2.0cm2/V·sec. A transition to the superconducting state was observed at 2.19°K; this transition was studied as a function of magnetic field strength. The existence of superconductivity in the γ phase is generally compatible with predictions for the occurrence of superconductivity in degenerate semiconductors and semimetals with positive Hall coefficients.
Surface Effects on Metal‐Silicon Contacts39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656723View Description Hide Description
Surfaceeffects on metal‐silicon contacts have been studied in detail using gate‐controlled Schottky‐barrier diode structures. The ``excess'' forward and reverse currents at small and moderate bases, respectively, and low breakdown voltages usually associated with metal‐silicon contacts are clearly shown to be due to high fields near the corner region when the surface is accumulated. These currents can be eliminated and breakdown voltage increased by depleting or inverting the surface. By studying the diodecharacteristics when the surface is inverted, it is shown that the generation current in the depletion region often constitutes a significant part of the total reverse current and cannot in general be neglected.
Growth and Defect Structure of Lamellar Gold Microcrystals39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656724View Description Hide Description
A common nonequilibrium form exhibited by gold microcrystals grown from solution is a thin (111) platelet of trigonal or hexagonal symmetry. From moiré patterns it has been established that these crystals are essentially free of dislocations if the growth temperature is kept constant. Using both bright‐ and dark‐field electron microscopy and electron diffraction at various crystal orientations it has been shown that the major imperfection is coherent twinning in the large (111) planes of the crystals. The layered growth can be explained on the basis of a twin‐accelerated growth mechanism involving multiple twinning on parallel (111) planes. Anomalous ED spots of the type ⅓ can be explained on the basis of a nonzero structure facture resulting from a stacking disorder in the (111) planes. An electron microscopic and diffraction study of various stages of growth indicates that multiple twinning occurs very early in the growth process. An intermediate structure is exhibited by the gold platelets during the initial 40% of the growth process. It is speculated that the intermediate phase involves a gold compound of the type Au2 X.
Electrical Resistivity and Shear Modulus of Copper during Cyclic Stressing39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656725View Description Hide Description
Available data on the production of electrical resistivity due to point defects in high‐purity copper during fatigue and unidirectional deformation are analyzed. Per unit of deformation energy, fewer point defects are produced during fatigue than during unidirectional deformation, except perhaps during the first few cycles of cyclic stressing. A qualitative relation that appears to exist between changes in electrical resistivity and shear modulus during cyclic stressing is discussed.
Third‐Order Elastic Constants of Single‐Crystal and Polycrystalline Columbium39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656726View Description Hide Description
The second‐order and third‐order elastic constants for both single‐crystal and polycrystalline columbium were determined at 298°K using an ultrasonic phase comparison method. It is shown that any dislocation contribution to the measurements is negligible with respect to other uncertainties. The third‐order elastic constants (Brugger convention) in units of 1012 dyn/cm2 are
Lithium Niobate: Effects of Composition on the Refractive Indices and Optical Second‐Harmonic Generation39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656727View Description Hide Description
Crystals of lithium niobate have been grown with varying amounts of Li2O, Nb2O3, and MgO present in the melt. The refractive indices have been measured and the birefringence so obtained correlated with the phase‐matching temperature for second‐harmonic generation (SHG) and with the composition. The use of optical methods is decribed for the study of compositional uniformity and a method of correcting the effects of uniform composition gradients on SHG described.
Crystal Growth and Electro‐optic Effect of Some Double Sulfates with the Langbeinite Structure39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656728View Description Hide Description
Single crystals of several isomorphs of the mineral langbeinite, K2 Mg 2(SO4)3, space group T 4, were prepared from aqueous solutions and from the melt. The electro‐optic powers, n 0 3 r 41 of (NH4)2Mn2(SO4)3, K2Mn2(SO4)3, Rb2Mn2(SO4)3, Tl2Mn2(SO4)3 and K2 Ni 2(SO4)3 were found respectively to be 0.7, 8.6, 7.7, 12.4, and 4.9×10−10 cm/V. Refractive indices and dielectric constants were also measured. By analysis of the observed data it was found possible to partially resolve the over‐all electro‐optic effect into single ion contributions.
Shear‐Stress Field of a Simple Dislocation Cell39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656729View Description Hide Description
The shear‐stress distribution due to a particular example of the simplest, two‐dimensional dislocation array, representing a cell of material misoriented with respect to its surroundings, was calculated numerically. The results are found to be virtually independent of the size of the cell, provided its shape and the magnitude of its angular misorientation are kept constant. For cells of same size and shape the stresses are proportional to the magnitude of the angular misorientation, i.e., inversely proportional to the dislocation spacing. In the example studied, the long‐range stresses are always less intense than the extrema of the short‐range stresses, meaning that the subboundaries, but not the cell interior, could serve as obstacles against glide dislocation motion. The direction of the long‐range stresses is such as to attract from the surroundings dislocations which would reduce the relative misorientation of the cells, so as to clear the cell interior of dislocations.
Two Theoretical Considerations for the Ultrasonic Measurement of Third‐Order Elastic Constants39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656730View Description Hide Description
It is pointed out that the deviation of the energy‐flux vector from the propagation direction for plane waves in anisotropic solids is an important factor in the design of ultrasonic wave‐distortion experiments for measuring third‐order elastic constants. An equation for the energy‐flux vector is derived in terms of the quantities characterizing the plane waves, and the direction of the energy‐flux vector is tabulated for a particular material. It is shown that wave‐distortion experiments cannot yield a complete set of third‐order elastic constants, for crystals of arbitrary symmetry.
Index of Refraction of ZnO39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656731View Description Hide Description
Measurements of the refractive indices of ZnO single crystals are extended from room down to liquid‐helium temperatures in the region between the absorption edge and 5500 Å for E⊥C and E∥C. The indices are calculated from the locations of interference maxima in transmission spectra caused by multiple reflections in thin (0.4–80 μ), plane‐parallel platelets. The dispersion curves at room temperature are similar to those reported by Mollwo, but they are extended to include the optical isotropic point. At energies near absorption edge n∥<n⊥, while in the long wavelength region n∥>n⊥, as is found in other II‐VI materials of the wurtzite symmetry. The isotropic point and its variation with temperature was also determined by birefringence measurements.
Charged‐Particle Motion in Large‐Amplitude Electromagnetic Fields39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656732View Description Hide Description
The relativistic motion of a charged particle in large amplitude, inhomogeneous electromagnetic fields is studied for several situations. This study involved the numerical integration of the equations of motion including the relativistic mass correction and the nonlinear rf v×B force term. The cases studied include particle motion in linearly and circularly polarized, homogeneous plane waves with a homogeneous steady magnetic field parallel to the direction of propagation; particle motion in linearly and circularly polarized TE‐11 modes in waveguides of circular cross section immersed in a uniform steady axial magnetic field; and particle motion in cavity resonators of circular cross section (TE‐111 mode) immersed in a nonuniform steady axial magnetic field. This study is concerned with the maximum energy gains possible in the above situations with field amplitudes appropriate to high‐power microwave experiments. To verify the features of the particle motion as predicted in the numerical study, and to investigate effects which could not be easily included in the analysis, such as space charge from the electron beams, beam‐induced cavity fields, and ionization of residual gas in a cavity resonator, certain experiments were performed. These involved the injection of 1–100‐mA electron beams at 100–1000 V on the axis of circular cross‐section cavity resonators (10 GHz and 1.0 GHz) immersed in a steady axial magnetic field. With pulsed operation, an energy increase of 460 keV was obtained for a drive power of 46 kW at an over‐all efficiency of acceleration of approximately 10%. Higher‐efficiency pulsed operation and continuous operation at lower power levels were also investigated experimentally.
Linewidth and Relaxation Processes for the Main Resonance in the Spin‐Wave Spectra of Ni–Fe Alloy Films39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656733View Description Hide Description
Measurements of the position and linewidth of the main resonance in the spin‐wave spectra of 80% Ni‐20% Fe evaporated films 150 to 3200 Å thick at frequencies from 0.8 to 4.0 GHz, at room temperature and with the static magnetic field perpendicular to the film plane have been performed. The center field for resonance was independent of thickness and consistent with the Kittel resonance condition for the uniform precession. The linewidth was about 30 Oe (measured as the field separation of inflection points on the absorption curve), independent of film thickness and frequency. The linewidth data have been compared to previous data for resonance with the static field parallel to the film plane and interpreted in terms of relaxation processes for the uniform precession. In general, frequency‐swept linewidths, not field‐swept linewidths, are proportional to the relaxation rate and are the quantities which should be compared. The frequency‐swept linewidth for perpendicular resonance is equal to that obtained for parallel resonance in films thinner than 500 Å. This result indicates that two‐magnon scattering between the uniform precession mode and spin‐wave states for which the exchange energy term is large (wavenumber k appreciably different from zero) does not contribute to the perpendicular resonance linewidth and is the origin of the linewidth increase with thickness for parallel resonance. It appears that scattering to states with k≈0 and exchange conductivity broadening are the most reasonable sources for the residual 30 Oe linewidth.
Observation of Resistive Instabilities in a Toroidal Plasma39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656734View Description Hide Description
An experiment is described in which resistive instabilities have been observed. Diagnostics of a hydrogen toroidalplasma indicate that a current‐carrying plasma sheet breaks up into separate filaments. Experimental data for three distinct filament configurations agree well with the theoretical predictions.
Electrical Conductance of Thin Ultrahigh‐Vacuum‐Evaporated Films of Tungsten on Glass39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656735View Description Hide Description
Electrical conductance measurements have been made on thin tungsten films deposited onto Pyrex glass substrates cooled to 90°K under ultrahigh‐vacuum conditions. The variation of the conductance with temperature indicated that the films were discontinuous for average thicknesses less than about 30 Å. This structure was confirmed by electron micrographs of the films after removal from the vacuum system. Irreversible changes in the conductance were found to take place when the low‐temperature‐deposited films were annealed at 300°K. The direction of the changes depended on the average film thicknesses. Theories of conduction based on an activated tunneling process are inadequate to explain these changes, but a model based on internal thermoinic emission provides a qualitative explanation. It is suggested that the conduction current contains contributions from a space‐charge‐limited current through the substrate as well as that arising from the thermionic emission process. The experimentally observed voltage dependence of the conductance appears to confirm this suggestion. Irreversible changes in the conductance could also be brought about both by exposure of the ultrahigh‐vacuum‐deposited films to a gas pressure of 10−8 Torr and by the application of high voltages at 300°K.
Restrike Mechanisms of Exploding Wire Discharges39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656736View Description Hide Description
The development of the early stages of restrike channels initiated by electrically exploded thin wires was studied, using high‐speed Kerr‐cell and rotating‐mirror streak photographic techniques. The experiments were performed mainly with constantan and copperwires (length: 13.8 cm, diameter: 0.005 cm). Complementary measurements were also made on five lengths between 1.6 and 13.8 cm at voltages up to 23 kV. The results show that at low voltages the restrike is always initiated at the exterior of the exploded wire. At higher voltages, above a critical voltage, the restrike is initiated either at the exterior or in the interior of the exploded wire. The majority of the restrikes are initiated in the interior. Restrikes initiated at the exterior of the exploded wire always have much shorter dwell times than those initiated in the interior and a good dwell‐time reproducibility. During the dwell‐time which precedes these restrikes, luminous dots appear at the surface of the wire. The dots are distributed helicoidally along the whole wire length. The presence of these dots may indicate an intense local ionization on the wiresurface due to the emission of thermal electrons from the wire material. The ionization increases to the point at which a thin helicoidal channel is built up near the surface and along the whole length of the exploded wire. The restrike starts and develops in this channel until it loses its form through instability. For restrikes initiated in the interior of the exploded wire, no local ionization was observed at the surface of the wire during the dwell time. This may have been due to the rapid vaporization of the wire material. During the dwell time the exploded wire shows a diffuse low luminosity, which increases when ionization by impact is initiated in the interior of the wire. The luminosity of the wire remains diffuse until the ionized medium contracts and the restrike starts in a very narrow channel near the axis of the wire. The channel expands with a very high velocity towards the inner shell of the exploded wire. The initial phase of the channel shows an helicoidal form. The channel tends to be straight when its diameter increases. The type of restrike which follows the wireexplosion seems to be dictated by the vaporization rate of the wire material.
Current‐Voltage Characteristics of Semiconducting Barium Titanate Ceramic39(1968); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.1656737View Description Hide Description
The current‐voltage characteristics of semiconducting BaTiO3ceramic have been investigated with electric fields up to 2×104 V/cm. The results obtained are in agreement with Heywang's model for conduction in this material (other published models being unsatisfactory) provided that allowance is made for the Ohmic drop in the bulk material. It is found that most of the current is channeled through small pores (0.1–0.5 μ diam) in the intergranular boundaries.

Star Trek XI made a galactic splash at the movie theaters this summer becoming the most popular Star Trek film in the entire franchise. Not only that, but Star trek XI is one of the highest grossing films of 2009.
It has been played out in the tabloids as to why William Shatner was left out of the blockbuster movie while his original series costar Leonard Nimoy was given a prominent part. Some tabloids said Shatner was asking for to much money and wanted a larger role and part of the production. While others claimed that he was feuding with the producers about there only being one captain Kirk and it was William Shatner.
After months of speculation and lively banter, the truth comes out. (Just as it always does here at the Grassy Knoll Institute.) The photo above shows William Shatner being abducted by an evil race of aliens from his home in the Hollywood hills, California.
The aliens, widely known for controlling the minds of their abducted, forced him to dress in his original series uniform using an amplifying technique of their telepathic powers. Then they quickly subdued him and easily transported him to their ship without incident.
The only known defense against these aliens is a thought screen helmet made with velostat material that filters out the telepathic connection thus preventing the aliens from overpowering your mind.
Mr. Shatner was returned to him home some weeks later but production had already started on the movie and the producers had no choice but to write him out.
Now you know the real story why William Shatner was not in Star Trek XI.

In the 1980s, we saw a large scale dismantling of civil rights gains and the triumph of "trickle-down" economics. As part of the trickle – down economics strategy, government implemented broad financial deregulation, specifically in the mortgage industry. Unfortunately, the strategy set the stage for the 2008 housing crisis.
Since the Great Depression, the U.S. government built and maintained a strictly regulated, lending process, which, due to segregationist polices, created an almost exclusively white American middle class. Then, during the 1960s and 1970s, the civil rights community helped the nation change course by convincing government to enacted policies to break down the barriers for African American homeownership.
However, the Reagan's era of deregulation stopped this progress in its tracks. Our country began to partially dismantle policies designed to protect homeowners and the financial markets from unsustainable lending products. By the mid-90s, a new regime of exotic lending was in full effect, with balloon payments, ARMs, and other new types of loans that made use of the new space created by deregulation.
This process led to frantic lending activity. Initially, it appeared that after being excluded for so long, black and Hispanic buyers were being welcomed into the housing market. At long last, it seemed they would gain middle-class American status.
But then warning signs emerged that this was not a solution to low homeownership rates for African Americans. The vast amount of money flooding the U.S. mortgage market drove prices up during a time of stagnant wages. Households were forced to devote a larger portion of their income to their mortgage and savings began to decline as people went farther into debt to maintain their place in the new housing market.
Lenders took this opportunity to target communities of color and geography long ignored by traditional banks. These new players in the housing market infiltrated these communities and sought out buyers or homeowners who they could sell new sub-prime mortgages. Homeowners in minority neighborhoods were far more likely to be been sold a subprime high cost loan than a homeowner in a white suburb. And subprime loans even paid the lenders more in commissions and fees.
Beginning in the last half of 2007, mounting foreclosures began to cause instability in the complex structure of credit that funded most of the mortgages in the U.S. It is estimated that 20% of home loans funded from 1998 to 2006 ended in foreclosure.
By 2008, the mortgage market was in freefall and, without customers to buy homes, the prices of existing houses plummeted.
Without the cushion of home equity to protect them, American families began to cut back on spending dramatically deleveraging themselves by either paying off or defaulting on their debts. Unemployment began to creep up and then skyrocketed. More likely to be impacted by a foreclosure, communities of color also suffered the most as unemployment hit the service and public sectors the hardest, both job sectors which traditionally employs high numbers of minorities and women. By 2009, white families in America had lost 16% of their net worth on average, while black and Hispanic families had lost 53% and 66%, respectively. Some studies place the current ratio of wealth between black and white families as high as 30 to 1.
With all the economic conversations around rebuilding our economy, there is little mention about how the nation will tackle racial economic inequality. High poverty and unemployment and low home ownership and wealth in the African American community are all related to grave institutional economic challenges African American communities have faced since slavery. And while this country has made considerable gains in dealing with racial inequities; we still remain far from achieving economic justice for all.
Poverty, unemployment, homeownership, wealth – for each of these economic indicators African Americans fare worse than other racial groups. But why? During Black History Month the NAACP will delve into 4 major U.S. periods (Slavery, the New Deal, the Reagan Era, and the 2008 Housing Crisis) that have shaped many of African Americans' economic realities. These stories are not of victimization – African Americans have triumphed and excelled despite centuries of exclusion and oppression. By providing this historic framework, we hope there will be more appreciation for African Americans' economic contributions to this country; greater understanding of the grave institutional economic challenges facing African American communities; and support for policies to remedy racial economic inequities in acknowledgement that helping the minority will ultimately help the majority.

Kings Top Rangers 3-0 to Lead Three Games to None in Stanley Cup
Jonathan Quick stopped 32 shots for his ninth career playoff shutout and the Los Angeles Kings won 3-0 at the New York Rangers to move within one victory of capturing their second Stanley Cup championship in three years.
Jeff Carter, Jake Muzzin and Mike Richards scored for the Kings, who hold a three-games-to-none lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup finals after winning a pair of overtime games in Los Angeles. Game 4 in the National Hockey League's championship series is June 11 in New York.
The Rangers outshot the Kings 32-15 but could not get the puck past the 28-year-old Quick, who grew up in Milford, Connecticut, about 70 miles (113 kilometers) northeast of the Rangers' home at Madison Square Garden.
"That was his best game of the series," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said in a news conference. "It's not the final game or anything like that. Just a solid road game."
New York has not scored since the second period of Game 2 on June 7, a span of 115 minutes, 36 seconds of game time. The Kings have outscored the Rangers 6-0 in that span, including two overtime periods in Game 2.
Carter opened the scoring with less than a second left in the first period when he flipped a wrist shot past Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist just before the horn sounded to end the period. It was Carter's 10th goal of the 2014 playoffs.
The Kings made it 2-0 about four minutes into the second period on a power-play goal by defenseman Muzzin. Los Angeles built its lead to 3-0 with less than three minutes left in the period when Richards tried to pass the puck across the goal mouth, only to have it deflect off Rangers defenseman Ryan McDonagh and right back to Richards with an open net.
Scoreboard Malfunction
Fans at the Rangers' first home Stanley Cup finals game in 20 years also experienced a scoreboard malfunction for the first 17 minutes of the first period.
The clock and score on the arena's video screens worked properly, but slots for statistics such as shots, faceoffs and hits remained blank.
The malfunction came four days after the air conditioning broke down at the AT&T Center in San Antonio for Game 1 of the National Basketball Association Finals between the host Spurs and the Miami Heat.

If the universe is heading for a big crunch, when the universe starts to collapse will entropy decrease and the arrow of time consequently reverse or not? I'm interested in the explanations, not just the answer.
The expansion of the universe have no influence at all on smaller scales (small in this case means the size of galaxies). The universe expands but galaxies are held together by their gravity.
If the universe would stop expanding and start to collapse the galaxies would keep on rotating, the stars would keep on turning nice, well ordered, nuclear enery into plain old heat, your metabolism would still turn the well ordered chemical energy in your food into heat and poop... Simply put, entropy will keep on increasing.
The only scenario where the arrow of time disappears is when all energy is converted to heat, uniformly spread throughout the universe. Then the entropy is maxed out and the arrow of time ceases to exist. Since nothing can happen in this universe the need to sort events chronologically also disappears so no one will miss the arrow.
Total entropy of the universe is equal to the total area of the space boundary, according to holographic principle.
Our universe is expanding, asymptotically approaching de Sitter space. In de Sutter space the radius of the cosmic horizon is constant and equal to the Hubble radius - the distance at which cosmological red shift becomes infinite.
For expanding universe to start contracting, it should first stop expansing. Not expanding and not contracting universe is flat. This means it does not have the horizon, and its entropy is infinite.
In other words, before the universe to start to contract, its entropy should reach infinity.

The sounding of the shofar on the first day of Rosh Hashanah signals the beginning of what is traditionally known as "10 days of repentance" leading up to Yom Kippur (Sept. 13), the holiest of all Jewish Holy Days.
But Rabbi Zippel doesn't like the "10 days of repentance" tradition.
"I think it implies that we're all a bunch of sinners," he said. Instead, he prefers the interpretation of the Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, one of the founding fathers of the Lubavitch movement of Judaism, who referred to them as "the 10 days of return."
"I like that," Rabbi Zippel said. "It is a return to our original self, a return to the perfection of our soul to the way it was placed by God when we were born. The 10 days of return begin on Rosh Hashanah, and the 10th day is Yom Kippur, the day of Atonement, the day all sins are forgiven."
Although Yom Kippur falls this year on Friday the 13th, the rabbi urged his congregation to take no notice of that.
"This is a very serious time of reflection, a very serious time of introspection, a very significant and auspicious time," he said during a recent interview. "This is about returning. God wants us to simply come home. That's where each and every one of us belongs."
One of the critical elements of Yom Kippur is a day of fasting and total focus on the solemnity of the day.
"There is no work, no eating, no drinking on this day," Rabbi Zippel said. "We refrain from any engagement with the physical world and entirely rededicate ourselves to our spiritual identity. Through this our souls are cleansed entirely."
The Atonement of Yom Kippur is automatic, the rabbi said, and "is granted to us for transgressions between man and God." But for transgressions between man and man, it's another story.
"Yom Kippur doesn't cover interpersonal difficulties," he said, smiling. "That would be too easy. So we are urged to make amends within our failed relationships with family, friends and business associates. This is a time of year to reach out to your fellow person and say, 'Let's work it out,' or, 'I am sorry.' If we want God to forgive us for our shortcomings, we need to demonstrate that by letting go of our hurt feelings and forgive others."
Such forgiveness, Rabbi Zippel said, both between man and God as well as man and man, is critical to making 5774 "a good year and a sweet year, a year of goodness and peace."

Press win for the JC
June 10, 2010
For a second time the Press Complaints Commission (PCC) has ruled in favour of the Jewish Chronicle in relation to complaints made against the paper by Londoner Edward Saleh.
Mr Saleh complained about the JC's coverage of his refusal to give his wife, Miriam, a get, or religious divorce.
He complained to the PCC, which found against him.
He then complained again, this time about the JC's coverage of the PCC's ruling.
This week the PCC declared that there had been no breach of the Press Code by the Jewish Chronicle.

About Trane
In 1910 James Trane and his son Reuben began manufacturing a low-pressure heating system to heat homes. They have a long history of innovation dating back to its founder and his son including changing the concept of air conditioning for large buildings when in 1938 they introduced the Turbovac which was the HVAC industries first hermetic centrifugal refrigeration machine.
If you have a particular model number for any type of HVAC Equipment please email us and we will do an HVAC technical review of the air conditioning or heating equipment for you.

Skip to Main Content
Achieving component-level thermal characterization using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is assessed using a case study approach. A commercial CFD code (FLOTHERM) is used to simulate the thermal performance of three plastic-based microelectronic packages (68-lead and 84-lead plastic leaded chip carriers or PLCC's, and a 164-lead plastic quad flat pack or PQFP) under forced air cooling conditions. Predictions of junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θja) are compared to experimental measurements. One aspect of the work is to use results from a single situation (84-PLCC and an approach air velocity of 1.52 m/s) to develop a set of "modeling guidelines". These modeling guidelines are then applied to the other components (68-PLCC and 164-PQFP) and flow conditions (0.7-3.05 m/s) to test their validity. Guideline parameters include near component flow field nodalization, geometric detail in representing conduction paths and code user options such as turbulent flow models. The average deviation of predicted versus measured values of θja was 7.5% using the derived guidelines. An additional component design sensitivity investigated was the effect of the introduction of a heat spreading "heat post" in the high temperature regions of the 164-PQFP,

Talk:Balao-class submarine
|This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Balao-class submarine article.
This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject.
Article policies
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Funny, it doesn't look like a submarine. Very busy, not at all streamlined. Did World War II sub operating doctrine have them operating on the surface much of the time? -Toptomcat 00:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
- Good eye. Up until the Type XXI, subs were more like submersible torpedo boats, which is the doctrine Dönitz developed. That led to the GUPPY boats & the Albacore hull. Trekphiler 22:24, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
- All boats other than nuclear and the recent Air-Independent Propulsion boats (such as the German Type 212 submarine) have to spend most of their time surfaced or snorkeling, due to limited battery capacity. The "busy" superstructure came about in WWI, due to the need to move and fight on the surface much of the time, especially as the snorkel didn't exist until WWII. Accommodating guns and providing grab rails to reduce the number of crewmen lost overboard resulted in this. US S-boats and later boats thru WWII were built with this concept; the S-boats were based on studies of WWI U-boats. RobDuch (talk) 05:42, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
General characteristics[edit]
I rewrote to this:
- -- General characteristics --
- Displacement: 1526 tons surfaced, 2424 tons submerged
- Length: 307ft (93.6m) waterline, 311ft 9in (95m) overall
- Beam: 27 ft 3in (8.31m)
- Draft: 15 ft 3in (4.65m)
- Test depth: 400 ft (122m) (except SS361-364, 300ft {91.4m})
- Speed: 20.25 knots (37.5 km/h) surfaced, 8.75 knots (16 km/h) submerged
- Armament: 10 x 21 in (53cm) torpedo tubes (6 forward, 4 aft, 24 torpedoes); 1 x 3 in (76 mm)/50 caliber AA gun (in SS.361-364), 1x4in (102mm)/50 cal deck gun (in SS.285-291), or 5in (12.7cm)/25 cal (in rest), 1 x 40mm AA cannon (except in SS.361-364), 1x20mm AA cannon (SS.313-360 & SS.365-416 only), 2x0.5" (12.7mm) MG (except SS.361-364 0.3" {7.62mm} MG)
- Crew: 80 – 85 officers and men
- Powerplant: 4 x 1350 hp (1 MW) 16cyl General Motors 278A diesel engines (except SS292-312 and SS381-416 10cyl Fairbanks-Morse 38D-1/8), 2 x 1370 hp (1020kW) General Electric electric motors (except SS292-312 and SS381-416 Elliot Motor)
- Range: 11,800 nautical miles (21,900 km) at 10 knots (19 km/h) surfaced
I base that on Lenton, American Submarines. The 4x6500hp diesel is such an obvious mistake I can only conclude somebody didn't notice there were 2 engines on each shaft & that was a total hp. The "4x" electric motors is wrong, too. There were 2 motors, 1 on each shaft. The original 1800t surfaced tonnage doesn't agree with any published figure I've ever seen, either, & it's well above the published numbers for Gato & Tench, which it should be close to, since the design didn't change significantly til after the Tenches were completed. I should also mention, parenthetically, Gato, Balao, & Tench had a design capacity of 26 torpedoes (with the additional bow tube, according to Beach); by my count, it's 30, but... Trekphiler 22:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
I added the battery makers, again from Lenton. BTW, can anybody say how it's pronounced? Trekphiler 21:02, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
That's deep[edit]
Can somebody confirm Balao used higher-yield steel? From what Beach & Blair imply, they had heavier frames & thicker skins, not better steel. I don't have Alden in front of me, so I can't say... Trekphiler 20:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- O'Kane's first book says the pressure hull steel was both thicker and stronger due to better alloy. He even gives the thickness but I don't have the book in front of me right now. I'm a bit skeptical, as thicker steel would change the weight and require other changes. Rees11 (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- I can't find this in O'Kane's book but it's also in Red Scorpion, so I've added it. Rees11 (talk) 17:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
The (SS-310) Batfish[edit]
I have had the pleasure of joining the crew that maintains the SS-310 Batfish and have recently camped out on its deck. We're replacing the rotted deck with an Egyptian teak currently. Sleeping in the crew quarters is a very good night sleep, as it is dead quiet. The deck is just as comfortable in a sleeping bag, I had the fortune to pull up some sleeping real estate on the deck where the AA gun is mounted.
My experience with the Batfish was incredible. I am happy to join the crew and continue to restore and maintain this wonderful piece of human history. Sitting in the mess I couldn't beleive that this kind of structure was built during a time when we didn't have computers or microwaves or any of the modern technologies that would have made this scale of a vessel tangible.
I was in awe of the entire experience and will continue to make a 2.5 hour drive there several times a year to lend a hand. We also perform re-enactments on the boat and have rigged up a boat-wide sound system that makes the entire length of the boat come alive with ambient audio, alert sirens, torpedo launch sounds...all bounced off the hull it is very real sounding. Makes for a great tourist experience and takes visitors back in time with us.
Anyone near the Batfish should come see this piece of our history. She won't dissapoint you.
Two motors on battery?[edit]
I don't believe the part about running only one motor per side on battery. If you check the Operation Manual it says nothing about this, and the wiring diagram seems to indicate both motors on a side are always connected. Rees11 (talk) 20:39, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
I took this out. The Fleet Sub Manual says:
The starter levers have three series positions and two parallel positions. The motors are always in series with each other when the starters are in any of the series positions, the voltage of the line being divided between each of the motors. When the starters are in either parallel position, the motors are in parallel, each motor receiving the full line voltage. The SER. 3 and PAR. 2 positions are the only running positions of the starter levers.
So it seems pretty clear that the two operating positions use both motors on each side. Rees11 (talk) 01:59, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Enlisted men[edit]
An anonymous editor changed "enlisted" to "men." I get the point, "enlisted" is an adjective, and is used only informally in the Navy as a noun. But "men" is ambiguous. It could be interpreted to mean a total of 70 men, of whom 10 are officers and the other 60 are enlisted. So I made it 10 officers and 70 "enlisted men," which I think is clear and correct. Rees11 (talk) 12:19, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
- It seems clear with or without men after enlisted in the Infobox, though omitting it is informal. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:04, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
Since ex-Tusk (USS Tusk (SS-426)) is still in service, shouldn't the infobox list the number of active subs as "1" instead of "0"? Or do we only count subs in active service with the US Navy? Rees11 (talk) 16:53, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
Isn't the USS Blueback (SS-326) a Balao class submarine? It's open to the public at the OMSI museum in Portland, Oregon. So that would make a total of nine Balao-class submarines open to public viewing? JHR —Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.96.36.199 (talk) 16:33, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

U.K. Bank Breakup May Be More Costly for Taxpayers, Says Bain
Breaking up U.K. banks to enhance competition may create weaker lenders and potentially increase the cost for taxpayers, according to a report published by Bain & Co.
An unstable banking industry would cost taxpayers 1,000 pounds ($1,570) a head as a consequence of reduced output and higher unemployment, consulting firm Bain estimated in a report released today. That compares with a cost of about 200 pounds a head resulting from insufficient competition, Bain said.
"Policies that promote competition by encouraging new entrants and even splitting up the big banks could compromise stability, leading to smaller and even weaker banks," said the report. Regulators "should focus on measures that reinforce stability," it said.
The government-sponsored Independent Commission on Banking is examining whether to recommend break up British banks in an effort to increase competition and financial stability. The commission, led by John Vickers, an Oxford academic and former Bank of England economist, reports in September.
"The incremental benefits to consumers from increasing the number of leading players diminish rapidly," based on an analysis of banking in 30 countries, Bain said.

Model wearing item → inner bottoms necklace accessory
Model wearing item → inner bottoms Accessories
|The length was the calf middle. I wear an inner in in what I was able to wear relaxedly, and the width of the body is all right. It is monochrome one piece, but a dot and a scallop shell of the spangles embroidery of the hem circumference accentuate and seem to become the leading role of coordinates♪
|The length was a knee. It was 100-percent-cotton and was comfortable and was able to wear it comfortably because the comfort was good. The ♪ spangles which I seem to be able to enjoy in a long season because I finish being able to wear it with margin are wonderful by fashion!
|A knee was covered to the length. Was able to wear the width of the body,; but along the bust was worried about looking a little, and because there was not elasticity, was tight a little, and felt it. When there is one piece design because I am very pretty, coordinates seem to open♪
I recommend that I have you compare size with a your other item by all means.

An Ad for a Feminine Hygiene Product Uses the V-Word, Gets Panties in a Bunch (VIDEO)Meredith Carroll
How many commercials have you seen for tampons and pads in the course of your life? Easily hundreds, right? Now think back and try to count all of the times you've heard the word "vagina" and/or "discharge" in those commercials. Maybe . . . never, right?
It makes no sense, since tampon and pad ads are all about vaginas and discharges. And yet, the words just aren't actually said, they're simply implied and understood. Apparently it's also understood that no one, or not many people, actually wants to hear those words as they apply to tampons, pads and vaginas and discharge.
Which is why a commercial that utters those words has ruffled a few feathers, gotten some panties in a bunch and generally grossed out a whole bunch of people, according to The Huffington Post. New Zealand's Advertising Standard's Bureau got a whole bunch of complaints after the ad aired over yonder earlier this week, even though statistics show more women want to hear frank talk about their bodies.
Does the ad upset your gentle sensibilities, or do you say it's about time a feminine hygiene commercial acknowledges something other than blue liquid is absorbed in said product and via something other than a science lab beaker? Take a look:

Love the attire. Is that bullet proof armor the police use?
Thanks! Well, I wasn't really thinking on this detail as armor, I just wanted to give her a more "Police officer" Look, instead of that folk style suit we all know, she uses something similar in the alpha animes. But since it's a police acessory, it could be an armor plate on her back.Thanks again.
Looks awesome bud... well done!

The cost of Pope Benedict XVI's visit to Spain next week is coming under fire from lay groups and even some priests as the country grapples with painful budget cuts.The pope arrives in Madrid on August 18 to attend the final four days of the Roman Catholic Church's six-day World Youth Day festivities. Festival attendance is expected to top one million.World Youth Day organizers estimate the festival cost at between 50 and 60 million euros, not including security.Organizers say 80 percent of the costs will be financed by church offerings. The remainder will come from companies and individuals. Corporate sponsors are eligible for tax rebates of up to 80 percent of the amount donated because the Spanish government has named World Youth Day as an event of "exceptional public interest".The Priest Forum, comprised of 120 priests from Madrid's poorest parishes, is critical of the loss of state revenues, because the government has cut social spending and public worker salaries.Nearly 150 groups say they plan to protest on August 17, the eve of Pope Benedict's visit. Protest organizers say they do not oppose the visit, only the way in which it is being financed.

Outer Continental Shuffle
Never underestimate a politician's ability to wriggle out of a clear choice. So it is with the so-called "Gang of 10" energy plan that is becoming the political escape hatch for Members of Congress, especially those "green Democrats" who suddenly want to appear to favor more oil and gas drilling.
The Gang of 10 compromise was released before the August recess by five Senate Republicans and five Democrats. The plan would at least allow drilling offshore of four states -- Georgia, Virginia and the Carolinas -- and in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It would also allow modern seismic surveillance, which would show how much oil and gas is really out there. Louisiana Democrat Mary Landrieu, who is undeniably pro-drilling, tells us this compromise is about as much as the current Congress will do and would galvanize other states to follow when they see the financial windfall.
The problem is that the proposal still doesn't open drilling enough, and it raises taxes and subsidies in the bargain. Today 85% of the Outer Continental Shelf is off limits for drilling. The Gang of 10 would only reduce that to 75%, according to the pro-exploration Institute for Energy Research. It also allows drilling only outside of 50 miles and only if the states allow it. That arbitrary 50-mile buffer zone is more than three times farther than necessary to be out of sight from shore. It also walls off many of the most promising and least costly drilling sites, such as the Gulf of Mexico's Destin Dome, which is some 25 miles offshore of Florida.
The gang proposal also does nothing to open up more of Alaska, and nothing to remove the ban on exploring oil shale in states like Colorado and Utah. And some Democrats in Congress are insisting that they will go along only if it also includes a permanent ban on drilling elsewhere on the Outer Continental Shelf. When even officials in Santa Barbara, California, have endorsed offshore drilling, this compromise amounts to a premature surrender.
The gang would also impose about $86 billion in new taxes, in large part on oil and gas companies through higher royalty fees and the loss of benefits available to other manufacturers. These new taxes are to be levied on the same companies that paid more than $100 billion in taxes last year, and they are of course the firms that would have to invest the billions of dollars needed to exploit the new offshore resources.
Naturally, the Members propose to take that $86 billion . . . and spend it. They propose to ladle it out in subsidies for "clean coal," electric cars, nuclear energy research, biofuels, cellulosic ethanol and solar and wind power. Most of these "alternative" fuels are already heavily subsidized, yet they only supply 7% of America's energy. Wind and solar already receive almost 100 times more in subsidies than oil and natural gas per unit of energy produced, and they still can't compete on commercial terms.
The main thrust of these "investments" is to turn 85% of the U.S. auto fleet into nonoil engines in 20 years. This isn't even remotely plausible, though the Members would nonetheless provide Detroit $7.5 billion to "retool" to make electric or alternative-fuel cars; $7.5 billion for research on battery-operated cars; and another $5 billion for a $7,500 tax credit for Americans who purchase these "green" cars. If Congress gets much more generous, it might as well promise a hybrid in every garage.
The Gang of 10 proposal is better than current law, but its main purpose is to provide political cover in an election year. Democrats are rushing to embrace it so they can claim to have done something to expand U.S. energy supply, even as voters lose track of the details. The gang is now up to 20 or so in the Senate, and even House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is drafting legislation based on it, which should tell you something about its substance. The Senate Republicans who co-wrote it must not mind being in the minority, because they've made that prospect more likely in November.
