  • Test of an Internal Wire Target at the Hera Proton Ring
    TEST OF AN INTERNAL WIRE TARGET AT THE HERA PROTON RING THOMAS LOHSE MPIftir Kemphysik ffeiddberg, 69Of?9, ccrmcng 1. INTRODUCTION Shortly after the HERA machine started its luminosity operation a working group was formed to study the possibility of exploiting the HERA proton beam for a high statistics B experiment able to discover CP violation in the B system. The efTort resulted in two detailed reports I,’ submitted to the DESY PRC. HERA has four intersction paints, two of which are occupied by the two large exper- iments HI and ZEUS, and one which is planned to be used by the HERMES experiment. The fourth interaction zone is currently available and suited to house a dedicated B de$ector. In principle, HERA has two independent rings and one could investigate the possibility of proton proton collisions (with asymmetric energies). Since this would, however, interfere with the routine e-p operation, we concentrated on the fixed target option in which protons from the beam halo intersct with massive internal targets, e.g., thin wires grouped around the beam center at distances of about 4 r.m.s. beam sizes. In the fixed target mode, the center of mass energy is only slightly above 40 GeV. This is quite close to the b&threshold and thus the B cross-section is tiny; about 10 to 20 nb are expected theoretically. The charm cross section- a dangerous background- is three orders of magnitude larger and the total inelastic cross section dominstes by 6 orders of magnitude. In order to get a precision of 0.05 in sin(2p), one thus has.

  • HERC HOLDINGS INC. 27500 Riverview Center Blvd
    INFORMATION STATEMENT HERC HOLDINGS INC. 27500 Riverview Center Blvd. Bonita Springs, Florida 34134 Hertz Global Holdings, Inc. (“Hertz Holdings”) is furnishing this information statement to its stockholders in connection with the spin-off (the “Spin-Off”) by Hertz Holdings to its stockholders of all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hertz Rental Car Holding Company, Inc. (“New Hertz”). The Spin-Off will result in the separation of Hertz Holdings’ global equipment rental business, which following the Spin-Off will continue to be operated by HERC Holdings (as defined below) through its operating subsidiaries, including Hertz Equipment Rental Corporation (to be renamed Herc Rentals Inc., “HERC”), from its global car rental business, which following the Spin-Off will continue to be operated by New Hertz through its operating subsidiaries, including The Hertz Corporation (“Hertz”). For every five common shares of Hertz Holdings you hold of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2016, the record date for the distribution, you will be entitled to receive one share of New Hertz common stock. Hertz Holdings will distribute the shares of New Hertz common stock in book-entry form, which means that we will not issue physical stock certificates. Stockholders will not receive fractional shares in connection with the Spin-Off. Instead, New Hertz’s transfer agent will aggregate all fractional shares and sell them as soon as practicable after the Spin-Off at the then-prevailing prices on the open market. After the transfer agent’s completion of such sale, stockholders would receive a cash payment from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their respective pro rata shares of the total net proceeds for that sale, without interest for the period of time between the effective time of the Spin-Off and the payment date.

Not only that, it is the most important. One of the most memorable story arcs from The Wire’s five seasons is the rise and fall of Hamsterdam—a quasi-legalized drug zone in West Baltimore. Stories are powerful teaching tools because they marry information and context. By seeing how the application of law affects characters we know and care about, we become more attune to the potential effects of legal decisions in the real world. The story of Hamsterdam—which is essentially an attempt to transform a black market into a fringe market—presents just such an opportunity. When considering the various dimensions of the fringe economy, life in Hamsterdam imparts three critical insights: (1) Markets arise wherever there exists market demand.

  • And All the Pieces Matter: Thoughts on the Wire and the Criminal Justice System
    And All the Pieces Matter: Thoughts on The Wire and the Criminal Justice System Susan A. Bandes* "Whatever it was, they don't teach it in law school."' I. INTRODUCTION The standard police procedural, even including great dramas like NYPD Blue and Hill Street Blues, adheres to time-honored narrative conventions. It focuses on good, if sometimes imperfect, cops trying to find the real bad guys-the perpetrators-and bring them to justice. The episode begins when a crime ruptures the social fabric, and ends when guilt is determined and things are put to right. The standard procedural is concerned mainly with individual fault and individual heroism. It does not raise disquieting questions about the criminal justice system, the legal system, or the social and political arrangements that lead to a permanent underclass. There are eight million stories in the Naked City,2 and in the police procedural, every one of them stands on its own. This standard cop show narrative reflects and reaffirms a deeply ingrained, reassuring view of the world. The Wire is a different kind of television. It aims not to reassure but to unsettle, or as David Simon once put it, "to pick[] a fight."3 On its surface a police procedural, The Wire has been aptly described as a portrayal of "the social, political, and economic life of an American city with the scope, observational precision, and moral vision of great literature." Unlike the standard police procedural, which presents and resolves a discrete problem every week, The * Distinguished Research Professor, DePaul University College of Law.

    1 ‘It Can’t Be a Lie’: The Wire as Breaching Experiment Joshua Page & Joe Soss University of Minnesota The Politics of HBOs’ The Wire: Everything is Connected (2015), Eds. Shirin Deylami and Jonathan Havercroft. New York: Routledge, Ch.1, pp. 11-40. The five seasons of The Wire are widely recognized as a landmark event in the history of media efforts to portray life in America’s poor, racially segregated communities. The show was especially momentous for scholars, such as us, who study urban poverty and the various ways authorities work to manage its problems and populations. Here, finally, was a dramatic depiction of the world we knew through our research and tried to convey in our teaching and public engagement. Here, finally, was a nuanced, humane account of the lives and lived realities—of cops and drug dealers and teachers and addicts and students and parents and more—that intersect and shape one another in the most marginalized neighborhoods of our nation’s cities. Here, finally, was a wildly popular, critically acclaimed, nationally televised cry of dissent from the “thriving cultural industry of fear of the poor, led by such television programs as ‘America’s Most Wanted’ and ‘Cops.’”1 More even than most documentaries, The Wire offers a realistic depiction of life inside the “hyperghetto,” a social space defined by stark racial segregation, severely diminished jobs and social services, inadequate schools, rampant poverty, open-air drug markets, widespread housing foreclosures, and pervasive depression and dilapidation.2 From the show’s inception, 1 Loïc Wacquant, Punishing the Poor: The Neoliberal Government of Social Insecurity (Durham: Duke University Press, 2009) 131-32.
