Preston Edwards Sr. '65 and Judge Kern Reese to receive honorary doctorate degrees from Dillard
Preston Edwards Sr. and Judge Kern Reese
May 9, 2022
Contact: Eddie Francis, firstname.lastname@example.com
Edwards, a 1965 graduate of Dillard, is the founder of THE BLACK COLLEGIAN Magazine, imdiversity.com, diversityemployers.com and Diversity Employers Magazine. He also created BlackCollegian.com in 1995, the first Black magazine on the internet. THE BLACK COLLEGIAN was born from a discussion that Edwards had with a group of his business students at Southern University and A&M College during the infamous Kent State University riots. During the discussion, Edwards encouraged his students to express their displeasure peacefully. That gave him the inspiration to develop a magazine that would serve as a voice for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
Prior to his career as a publisher, Edwards held positions as the local vice president for the Interracial Council for Business Opportunity, regional manager of Affirmative Action for the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company and assistant professor in the College of Business at Southern. Edwards has also served his community as a member of Xavier University of Louisiana's Cluster and its Business Advisory Council as well as on the boards of the Council on Career Development for Minorities, Junior Achievement, The Urban League of Greater New Orleans, the Central Business District Historic Landmark Commission, the Employment Management Association Foundation and the Orleans Private Industry Council in addition to other organizations. After earning his bachelor's degree, Edwards earned an M.B.A. from Atlanta University and a Doctor of Humane Letters from Livingstone College.
Reese has been pivotal in the success of the Dillard University Mock Trial Team as one of its founders and coaches. This year, the team reached the American Mock Trial Association National Championship Tournament, the first Louisiana team to accomplish such a feat. A proud graduate of St. Augustine High School, Reese attended Pomona College in Claremont, California and the Loyola University New Orleans College of Law. Entering law in 1977, Reese began working at New Orleans Legal Assistance Corporation. He later became an associate adjunct professor at Tulane University School of Law in 1984, promoting effective trial advocacy. He taught at Tulane for more than 30 years. Reese also coached one of Loyola's trial advocacy teams to an American Bar Association national championship in 2007, and he coached Loyola's Black Law Student Association team to a national championship in 2012. Both teams were comprised of women and minority students.
Reese has served on numerous boards and commissions to serve the people of New Orleans, including the Regional Planning Commission, the Regional Transit Authority and the Finance Authority of New Orleans. He is a member of the Louisiana State Bar Association, the National Bar Association/Judicial Council, the Louis A. Martinet Legal Society and the American Judges Association.
Since 1975, Dillard has honored individuals by awarding Doctors of Humane Letters,
Doctors of Laws and Doctors of Divinity degrees. Dillard has also honored community
leaders with Medals of Honor, a Doctor of Music, a Doctor of Literature and a Doctor
of Science. Among the honorees have been: Benjamin E. Mays, L.H.D. '75; Coretta Scott King, L.H.D. '78; Rosa Freeman
Keller, L.H.D. '80; Martin Luther King Sr., L.H.D. '80; Millie Charles '53, L.H.D.
'93; Ruth J. Simmons '67, L.H.D. '96; Anita Hill, LL.D. '00; Ray Charles, L.H.D. '03;
Hillary Rodham Clinton, L.H.D. '07; Maxine Waters, L.H.D. '08; Michelle Obama, L.H.D.
'14; Denzel Washington, L.H.D. '15; and Garrett Morris '58, L.H.D. '16.

Merging is the key to software developer collaborationTuesday, June 19th, 2007
Continuing my discussion of version control tools, I'll focus today on the importance of the merge capability of the tool.
The "time to branch" is far less important than the "time to merge". Why? Because merging is the act of collaboration – it's when one developer sets down to integrate someone else's work with their own. We must keep the cost of merging as low as possible if we want to encourage people to collaborate as much as possible. If a merge is awkward, or slow, or results in lots of conflicts, or breaks when people have renamed files and directories, then I'm likely to avoid merging early and merging often. And that just makes it even harder to merge later.
The beauty of distributed version control comes in the form of spontaneous team formation, as people with a common interest in a bug or feature start to work on it, bouncing that work between them by publishing branches and merging from one another. These teams form more easily when the cost of branching and merging is lowered, and taking this to the extreme suggests that it's very worthwhile investing in the merge experience for developers.
In CVS and SVN, the "time to branch" is low, but merging itself is almost always a painful process. Worse, merging a second time from another branch is WORSE, so the incentives for developers to merge regularly are exactly the wrong way around. For merge to be a smooth experience, the tools need to keep track of what has been merged before, so that you never end up redoing work that you've already solved. Bzr and Git both handle this pretty well, remembering which revisions in someone else's branch you have already integrated into yours, and making sure that you don't need to bother to do it again.
When we encourage people to "do their own thing" with version control, we must also match that independence with tools to facilitate collaboration.
Now, what makes for a great merge experience?
Here are a couple of points:
- Speed of the merge, or time it will take to figure out what's changed, and do a sane job of applying those changes to your working tree. Git is the undisputed champion of merge speed. Anything less than a minute is fine.
- Handling of renames, especially renamed directories. If you merge from someone who has modified a file, and you have renamed (and possibly modified) the same file, then you want their change to be applied to the file in your working tree under the name YOU have given it. It is particularly important, I think, to handle directory renames as a first class operation, because this gives you complete freedom to reshape the tree without worrying about messing up other people's merges. Bzr does this perfectly – even if you have subsequently created a file with the same name that the modified file USED to have, it will correctly apply the change to the file you moved to the new name.
- Quality of merge algorithm. This is the hardest thing to "benchmark" because it can be hugely subjective. Some merge algorithms take advantage of annotation data, for example, to minimise the number of conflicts generated during a merge. This is a highly subjective thing but in my experience Bzr is fantastic in merge quality, with very few cases of "stupid" conflicts even when branches are being bounced around between ad-hoc squads of developers. I don't have enough experience of merging with tools like Darcs which have unusual characteristics and potentially higher-quality merges (albeit with lots of opportunity for unexpected outcomes).
I like the fact that the Bazaar developers made merging a first-class operation from the start, rather than saying "we have a few shell scripts that will help you with that" they focused on techniques to reduce the time that developers spend fixing up merges. A clean merge that takes 10 seconds longer to do saves me a huge amount of time compared to a dirty (conflict-ridden, or rename-busted) merge that happened a few seconds faster.
Linus is also a very strong advocate of merge quality. For projects which really want as much participation as possible, merge quality is a key part of the developer experience. You want ANYBODY to feel empowered to publish their contribution, and you want ANYBODY to be willing to pull those changes into their branches with confidence that (a) nothing will break and (b) they can revert the merge quickly, with a single command.

Isolated forest patches lose species, diversity
Failing to see the forest for the trees may be causing us to overlook the declining health of Wisconsin's forest ecosystems.
Even areas with apparently robust trees and lush canopies are threatened as forests are increasingly fragmented by roads and development, becoming isolated green islands in a sea of agricultural fields, housing tracts, and strip malls, say UW–Madison researchers.
A new study is revealing that decades of fragmentation of Wisconsin's forests have taken a largely unseen toll on the sustainability of these natural ecosystems.
The long generation times of trees and other plants have masked many of the ecological changes already under way in the patches of forest that remain, says study co-author Don Waller, a professor in the Department of Botany and Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at UW–Madison. "Things may look healthy, but over time we see an erosion of biodiversity," he says.
Ecologists are finding that the ecological health of patches of southern Wisconsin's forests (such as this one outlined in green) are strongly impacted by the number of nearby farm fields, buildings (red), and roads (purple). Forest fragmentation by increasing development is reducing the abundance and diversity of native plants, according to a new study led by UW–Madison ecologist Don Waller.

To better catalog the changes at work, he and colleagues looked beyond the trees to the forest understory — the shrubs, grasses, and herbs covering the forest floor — to witness how Wisconsin's forests are really faring. Their results, published online June 8 and appearing in an upcoming issue of the journal Conservation Biology, show that fragmentation is reducing the abundance and diversity of native plants in southern Wisconsin forests.
One unique quality of the current work is that it builds on a detailed trove of historical data collected throughout the state in the 1940s and 1950s by renowned UW–Madison ecologist John Curtis.
The findings highlight the effects of increasing urban development and road density, especially in the southeastern part of the state. Land use changes have a pronounced impact on the islands of forest that remain, even when these are protected as parks or natural areas.
"These forest patches are not just losing species — their whole biological nature is changing," says David Rogers, an assistant professor of biological sciences at UW-Parkside who led the study while a UW–Madison graduate student. "Surrounding landscape factors, like urbanization and agricultural dominance, are now determining which species can survive in these little patches."
One unique quality of the current work is that it builds on a detailed trove of historical data collected throughout the state in the 1940s and 1950s by renowned UW–Madison ecologist John Curtis. More than 50 years later, Rogers and others revisited many of Curtis's sites in southern Wisconsin to see what changes time has wrought.
Though negative effects of fragmentation on biodiversity have gone largely unrecognized in the past, the impacts appear to be intensifying over time, the researchers say. Nearby cities and towns now strongly affect local woodlots, causing smaller plots in particular to lose species.
"When we isolated these forest patches 50 or 100 years ago, we were dooming species to extinction," says Waller. "It may not happen right away — and in that sense it's an 'extinction debt' — but it will accumulate over time."
They believe that isolation takes its biggest toll on forest plant diversity by cutting off routes for native plants to re-colonize areas where local populations may have disappeared. "Plant species might go locally extinct for lots of different reasons," including natural cycles of turnover, Waller says. "But typically the area will be re-colonized very soon by nearby populations of the same species. That's what does not happen once a habitat becomes isolated or that patch becomes smaller."
The connections between local plant communities and more distant landscapes have increased markedly. The bottom line is that humans appear to be having larger cumulative impacts on Wisconsin's forest communities than even ecologists previously appreciated.
This realization has important implications for how we should manage southern Wisconsin's remaining forests, Rogers says. The scientists are now working to identify the specific factors driving the observed ecological changes.
"People are a really important part of the system," Rogers says. "We are having a greater influence over our local ecology, whether we want to or not. That puts the responsibility on people to take care of it, protect it and maintain it."
Other co-authors of the study are Volker Radeloff and Todd Hawbaker of UW–Madison and Thomas Rooney, now of Wright State University. The work was supported by funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Allegations that the NSA installed surveillance tools in U.S.-made network equipment, if true, could mean enterprises have more to worry about than just government spying.
While the U.S. government warned router buyers that the Chinese government might spy on them through networking gear made in China, the U.S. National Security Agency was doing that very thing, according to a report in the Guardian newspaper Monday.
The NSA physically intercepted routers, servers and other network equipment and installed surveillance tools before slapping on a factory seal and sending the products on to their destinations, according to the report, which is extracted from an upcoming book by Glenn Greenwald, a journalist who last year helped expose sensitive documents uncovered by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
With the tools it installs, the NSA can gain access to entire internal networks, the story said. For example, in a report on its use of the technology, the NSA said an embedded beacon was able to call back to the agency and "provided us access to further exploit the device and survey the network," Greenwald wrote.
The new charge vastly expands the scope of alleged NSA spying beyond the interception of traffic across the Internet, said Ranga Krishnan, a technology fellow at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. As an example, he pointed to reports from the Snowden documents that the NSA had tapped into Google's own fiber network among its data centers, where the company hadn't encrypted the traffic at all.
"That's how most organizations function," Krishnan said. "So once you're within the company's router, you have access to all that data that's unencrypted."
In addition, any security hole that a government installs could open up the network to attacks by others, he added.
"If you have made something vulnerable … somebody else could discover that and very well use it," Krishnan said.
The House Intelligence Committee and other arms of the U.S. government have warned for years that networking equipment from vendors in China, namely Huawei Technologies and ZTE, poses a threat to U.S. service providers because of possible links between those companies and the Chinese government.
Specifically, critics have raised alarms that the government could install backdoor surveillance tools in the gear they sell, giving Chinese spies access to communications in the U.S. Those warnings reportedly have held back Huawei and ZTE's sales in the U.S. The companies have said their equipment is safe.
When Greenwald revealed Snowden's alleged evidence of NSA spying, it turned the tables on the U.S., with network buyers in some countries avoiding U.S.-made gear. Cisco Systems, the world's biggest seller of networks, has said worries about the NSA affected its business in China.
With allegations now flying about networking gear made both in China and the U.S., EFF's Krishnan recommended buyers seek convincing evidence from any potential supplier that their gear is in fact secure.

Behold the ultimate touchdown for fans of No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle, as three lingerie designs from the game become reality.
You or your significant other might never be as attractive as the girls from No More Heroes 2 or the fashion models showing off these three lingerie designs from Bedtime Flirt inspired by the game, but you can sure as hell try. Send pictures.
In an article posted in the smut rag Daily Sport, UK publisher Rising Star Games' managing director Martin Defries explains the reasoning behind the real-life No More Heroes 2 underwear. "No More Heroes 2 is all about style. We wanted to offer fans of the game the opportunity to replicate that cool in real life."
I'm not sure cool is what these outfits will be replicating. In fact, I'm a little scared. On one hand, some incredibly sexy cosplay could come of this. On the other hand, some incredibly unsexy cosplay could come of this. Such is the peril of cosplay.
Check out the full page below for details on how UK residents can enter to win the whole set, hopefully in the correct size, and keep an eye on the Bedtime Flirt website for the No More Heroes 2 lingerie collection.
