Phil S. Dixon is a road warrior, a veracious interviewer, a tireless researcher and writer who has interviewed over 500 players, wives and their offspring for a unique perspective of the American and Negro League baseball experience, works for which he won a SABR MacMillan Award (Society of American Baseball Researchers) for his excellence in historical research. He is best known for his 7 non-fiction books which includes “The Negro Baseball Leagues A Photographs History, 1867-1955,” a Casey Award winner as the best baseball book of the year in 1992.

He is a proud member of SABR, the Missouri Writers Guild, the IBWAA (Internet Baseball Writers Association of America) and serves on the National Advisory Board for the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. His work has been praised by a range of luminaries from Fay Vincent “Baseball Commissioner” to Stephen Jay Gould the famous “American Paleontologist.” Dixon is a Humanities Kansas presenter and a past Missouri Humanities speaker. Dixon’s most resent adventure was presenting in over 200 American cities and internationally into Canada with a presentation titled the “Kansas City Monarchs In Our Hometown,” in an effort to improve race relations. In true barnstorming fashion, he drove the entire route that covered 17 states and over 75,000 miles. His presentations and books are a fluid mix for those who enjoy professional journalism that is both humorous and insightful. Phil’s motto is “why bore your audiences and readers with sabermetrics when a touch of humor and non-sports history will suffice.”

Baseball’s quintessential barnstormer is a designation he embraces. His latest release, “The Dizzy and Daffy Dean Barnstorming Tour; Race, Media and America’s National Pastime,” continues that tradition. His writings are illustrated with stories and photographs which familiarize readers with baseball’s forgotten Negro stars through primary source research obtained during his many years of dedication to this topic. In addition to books he owns copyrights for poems and a movie script. He is a true American griot and 40 years of presenting in the Negro League genre hasn’t dulled his pursuit for greater knowledge.

Dixon left home at age-17 to pursue a musical career. He traveled the mid-west and Southern Chitlin' Circuit and journaled his experiences. He returned to Kansas City where he earned a bachelor’s degree from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. His free-lance writing for the African American owned Kansas City Call led to a major league press pass, which eventually landed him a job with the American League Kansas City Royals where he worked in Public Relations. In 1990 he co-founded the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City. Phil is the husband of Dr. (Kerry) his wife of 36 years, and father of three HBCU college graduates who represent: (Langston, Howard and Fisk). Dixon, a Kansan at birth, now makes his home in Missouri with the wife, the children, his trumpet and album collection while eagerly awaiting his weekly edition of the Kansas City Call.

It was the summer of 1984, and John McDonald was thirsty. On vacation in Europe, the future founder of Boulevard Brewing Company wandered into a bar specializing in Belgian beers. He tried one, then another and another, amazed by the variety, the aromas, and the flavors. He was hooked. Back home, John couldn’t stop dreaming about those beers. But dreaming was all he could do, because American beers of the time were homogenous and unremarkable. Kansas City, once home to more than a dozen breweries producing a wide array of beers, had succumbed to the industrial onslaught. Nothing was left.

After art school John made his living as a carpenter, always fascinated by the creative process. He couldn’t shake the memory of those amazing beers, and he began to wonder, began to consider the possibilities. He started homebrewing. He visited breweries. He put together a business plan, sold his house to raise money, and set out to find the rest of the resources he would need to start a brewery.

He didn’t have to look far to get started. John lived and worked in an old brick building on Southwest Boulevard that had once housed the laundry for the Santa Fe Railroad. He moved his carpentry shop to a corner and began to build a brewery. It wasn’t ideal, but it was his. It took more than a year and every bit of the money he’d raised to retrofit the building, find the equipment – including a vintage 35-barrel Bavarian brewhouse – and get everything up and running. Finally, in November 1989, the first keg of Boulevard Pale Ale was ready. John loaded it into the back of his pickup and delivered it to a restaurant just a few blocks away.

Word was spreading – Boulevard was making surprisingly good beer. The original business plan called for someday selling 6,000 barrels a year. By the third year sales passed 7,000 barrels, and continued to climb. Boulevard began selling its beers in neighboring cities and states. The original Bavarian brewhouse, designed to produce only a few thousand barrels a year, was approaching 100,000 barrels by 2004, turning out a dozen 1,000 gallon brews each and every day. But it had reached its limit, and a decision loomed.

When John built the brewery deep in the heart of a century-old urban neighborhood, he hadn’t worried about outgrowing it. But it had happened. Now, consultants said the smart move was to relocate to a new site with plenty of room. But the brewery was tightly woven into the fabric of the city, and the Boulevard team was committed to its continued revitalization. So in 2006 a $25 million expansion project brought a new building with a 150-barrel brewhouse, packaging halls, offices and hospitality spaces.

For years John had been eager to drive more experimentation and innovation, but the continuing growth of Unfiltered Wheat Beer and Pale Ale meant the brewery’s limited resources were devoted to the existing line-up. Now, with a new brewhouse, the team’s creative energies were unleashed. The Smokestack Series was launched, featuring an ever-evolving array of even bigger, bolder beers.

Boulevard loves hosting visitors, but as time went on their limited capacity meant they were turning away tens of thousands of people every year. So, in 2016 they opened the Tours & Rec Center next door to the brewery. The fully restored 1929 building serves as a hub for tours, swag, sampling and entertainment, including an experience area with exhibits about beer and Boulevard, a gift shop, and a 10,000 square foot Beer Hall. In 2019, the Tours & Rec Center was further enhanced with the opening of the Rec Deck, a fourth floor gathering space featuring deck and tabletop shuffleboard (and of course, beer).

Mr. Odell has been with Boulevard since 2007. He has held various roles within the brewery, and is currently the Filtration Supervisor. Mr. Winnie joined the Boulevard brewing team in 2022. He’s been working on the Brewhouse since arriving last year. Taran has been involved the industry since 2017 after finishing a Master’s program in Brewing Science.

By adjusting back-gate bias, 6T SRAM circuit has been experimentally demonstrated with extreme tolerance to SEU. A back-gate biasing strategy is proposed in DSOI SRAM circuits which significantly lowers SEU and power without performance loss.

SET sensitivity of two 28 nm CMOS low drop-out regulators with different error amplifier were studied by experiments and simulations. The regulator with rail-to-rail error amplifier has much worse response to SET.

We present the first neutron-induced single-event effect experiment on a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID). The measured neutron-induced electrical transients in SQUIDs provide insight to coherence loss in superconducting qubits exposed to ionizing radiation.

Heavy-ion single-event burnout and leakage behavior of 1.2 kV and 3.3 kV silicon carbide power devices are analyzed based on radiation tests. The voltage capability of these devices affects the burnout and leakage thresholds differently.

SET responses of high-speed and high-breakdown SiGe HBT variants in the same technology platform were compared using laser pulses. The lower-performance, high-breakdown SiGe HBT showed a larger transient response, which is investigated using TCAD.

Standard digital modulation schemes are compared for receiver-level SEU sensitivity using pulsed laser. Frequency shift keying demonstrated a better SEU resilience than phase shift keying despite having a worse baseline (no SET) noise performance.

SET responses of cross-coupled and Colpitts LC oscillators are compared using laser-induced TPA and circuit simulations. The Colpitts oscillator demonstrated smaller amplitude disturbances and faster recovery time following SET-induced drop-out.
