CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- The Johnson C. Smith University men's basketball team overcame a 43-34 halftime deficit with a 17-5 run over the final seven minutes, rallying for a 78-73 come-from-behind victory over Lees-McRae College in the last game of the Johnson C. Smith Tip-off Classic on Saturday evening.
Johnson C. Smith (4-0) posted a field goal percentage of 44.1 percent in the contest, including an even 50 percent in the second half, while holding Lees-McRae (3-2) to a mark of 39.7 percent. The Bobcats knocked down 58.6 percent of their attempts in the first 20 minutes, and won the battle on the glass by a 46-41 margin, including a 23-16 advantage on the offensive boards.
Mike Chambers (Winston-Salem, N.C.) paced the Bobcats with 17 points and three assists, knocking down a trio of three-pointers, while Jacquise Moore (Concord, N.C.) and Raul Tutton (Memphis, Tenn.) added 13 and 12 points, respectively. Darryl Bond (Nashville, Tenn.) chipped in a team-high eight boards, as Moore tallied a contest-best four steals. Darius Smith (Woodbridge, Va.) turned in a solid all-around performance with eight points, six rebounds, three assists and three steals.
LaMarquis Letchaw led the way for Johnson C. Smith with game-highs of 20 points and five assists, as Antwan Wilkerson added a double-double with 13 points and a contest-best 15 rebounds. Robert Williams chipped in 11 points.
The Golden Bulls jumped out to an early 9-4 lead before the Bobcats responded, countering with a 19-4 run, taking a 21-13 advantage following a steal and a dunk by Moore at the 12:48 mark. Johnson C. Smith then closed the gap to 26-22 with a 9-5 spurt, capping the stretch with a Williams throw down with 8:29 left in the half.
Lees-McRae answered once again, stringing together a 15-8 run over the next four minutes to push the margin to 41-30 on a long-range dagger by Darius Malbon (Hickory, N.C.) at the 4:16 mark. The Golden Bulls would net four of the half's final seven points, trimming the advantage to 43-34 heading into the intermission.
Johnson C. Smith carried the momentum into the second half, cutting the lead to 51-47 with a 13-8 run that was capped by a Williams lay-in at the 14:36 mark. Lees-McRae kept the Golden Bulls at arm's length over the next several minutes, stretching the margin to 68-61 on a Moore triple with 7:59 to play.
The Golden Bulls would slowly chip away over the subsequent four minutes, evening the tally at 69-69 on a pair of free throws by Letchaw with 3:31 left on the clock. Johnson C. Smith then took the lead for the first time since the 17:05 mark of the first half, claiming a narrow 71-70 advantage following a Wilkerson layup with 3:27 to go.
Wilkerson and the Golden Bulls would hold the Bobcats to just three points over the final three minutes, capping the come-from-behind victory with some clutch free throw shooting in the closing seconds to equal the final margin of 78-73.
Lees-McRae returns to the court on Tuesday when the Bobcats make the short trip to Boone, N.C. to take on NCAA Division I Appalachian State University in an exhibition contest at 7 p.m. in the Holmes Convocation Center.

Black holes that are in equilibrium with their surroundings are necessarily bounded by isolated horizons: non-expanding null hypersurfaces whose cross-sections are compact spacelike surfaces. Over the last decade this formalism has become a standard tool used in the study of classical and quantum gravity. In this talk I will discuss a recent application of isolated horizons to the study of supersymmetric black holes. Results include the fact that supersymmetric isolated horizons are necessarily extremal and have severely restricted geometry, electromagnetic charges and angular momentum.
We consider random Schrödinger operators on tree graphs and prove absolutely continuous spectrum at small disorder for two models.
The first model is the usual binary tree with certain strongly correlated random potentials. These potentials are of interest since for complete correlation they exhibit localization at all disorders. In the second model we change the tree graph by adding all possible edges to the graph inside each sphere, with weights proportional to the number of points in the sphere.
This is joint work with David Hasler and Wolfgang Spitzer.
Quantum information science, an interface area of mathematics, physics and computing science, is concerned with the manipulation, computation and communication of information, where the information is encoded in two (or more) level quantum systems called "qubits", unlike classical information, which is encoded in Boolean "bits". The devices used in this science are governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, which opens the possibility for a large range of applications. In this talk I will discuss the long standing additivity conjecture that the minimum entropy output of a completely positive trace preserving linear map, as measured using the von Neumann entropy, is additive under taking tensor products. After enormous efforts by the most experts in the field during the last 12 years, this conjecture has been recently proven to be false. Here I will present a slight modification to this (false) conjecture and discuss some recent progress and future directions.
This talk is based on a joint work with Shmuel Friedland, Aidan Roy, and Jon Yard.
The ordinary differential equations governing the radial parts of the perturbations of Kerr-Newman black holes admit Liouvillian (closed-form) solutions for a discrete set of explicit frequencies. For configurations of the black hole charge and angular momentum in which the angular parts of the perturbations approach the spherical harmonics we find Liouvillian solutions satisfying the boundary conditions for quasinormal modes.
Quantum mechanics prescribes the probabilities of possible outcomes when a measurement is made at a particular time. The times when events like decay occur are also random, but the theory provides no direct prescription for their probabilities, even though these times are often observed in experiments. We study a model where a system with a decaying state is coupled with a detector. If by itself the initial state decays exponentially, the detected time of decay also has an exponential distribution. If the initial state is in the domain of its Hamiltonian, precisely exponential decay is impossible, and a detector which is too precise retards the decay, i.e., the quantum Zeno effect occurs. But if the decay is approximately exponential, and the detector is not overly precise, the detected time also is approximately exponential.
The Moyal equation of a quantum observable corresponds to a phase space representation of its Heisenberg equation of motion. Because the latter has a close relation to the corresponding classical dynamics, the Moyal method is ideally suited to study the transition from classical to quantum behaviour in a system. The Moyal representation is related to the Wigner function like the Heisenberg picture is related to the Schroedinger picture. Unfortunately the Moyal equation is difficult to solve so that only few exact solutions are known.
We have studied nonlinear optical self-phase modulation of Kerr type using the Moyal equation for a single optical field mode. An exact solution for the annihilation operator is found. The phase space representation of this operator is related to the classical field amplitude by a complex factor that shows characteristic singularities in time. We show that these singularities disappear in the classical limit and demonstrate how the uncertainty relation prevents that observable quantities are affected by it.
We consider a system S = S1 + S2 of two spins 1/2 (qubits) interacting with several thermal reservoirs. Each spin j=1,2 is coupled to an individual reservoir Rj and the two spins interact collectively with a third reservoir R. All reservoirs are at the same temperature and do not interact directly. Each interaction between a spin and a reservoir has two channels, an energy-conserving and an energy-exchange one.
We analyze decoherence, thermalization and disentanglement of the system S. We show that due to the energy-exchange interactions, the system has a finite disentanglement time, we estimate that time and compare it to decoherence times.
This is joint work with Kassu Gebresellasie.
Asymptotic stability of small bound states in one dimension is proved in the framework of a discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equation with septic and higher power-law nonlinearities and an external potential supporting a simple isolated eigenvalue. The analysis relies on the dispersive decay estimates from Pelinovsky and Stefanov (2008) and the arguments of Mizumachi (2008) for a continuous nonlinear Schrödinger equation in one dimension. Numerical simulations suggest that the actual decay rate of perturbations near the asymptotically stable solitons is higher than the one used in the analysis.
This is a joint work with A. Stefanov and P. Kevrekidis.
We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equations i¶t y = H0 y+ l|y|2 y in R3 where H0 = -D+ V and l is a given constant which can be positive or negative. Assume that the potential V is radial and decays sufficiently fast at infinity. Assume also that the linear Halmitonian H0 has only two discrete eigenvalues e0 < e1 < 0 where e0 is simple and e1 has multiplicity 3. We show that there exist three branches of excited states and for certain finite codimesion subset in the space of initial data, we construct solutions y converging to each of these excited states in both non-resonant and resonant cases.
This is a joint work with Stephen Gustafson.
We study the critical behavior of statistical lattice models in 2d using the homotopy of their Fortuin-Kasteleyn (FK) cluster. A FK cluster on a torus is said to be of type {a,b}, a,b Î Z, if it possible to draw a curve belonging to the cluster that winds a times around the first cycle of the torus as it winds -b times around the second. Even though the Q-Potts models make sense only for Q integers, they can be included into a family of models parametrized by b = ÖQ for which the FK clusters can be defined for any real b Î (0,2]. For this family, we study the probability p({a,b}) of a given type of clusters as a function of the torus modular parameter t = tr+iti. We compute the asymptotic behavior of some of these probabilities as the torus becomes infinitely thin. Exponents describing these behaviors are defined and related to weights hr,s of the extended Kac table for r,s integers, but also half-integers. Numerical simulations are also presented.
Joint work with Alexi Morin-Duchesne.
A complete solution to the problem of orthogonal separation of variables of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation in three-dimensional Minkowski space is obtained. The solution is based on the underlying ideas of Cartan geometry and ultimately developed into a general new algorithm that can be employed in the study of Hamiltonian systems defined by natural Hamiltonians within the framework of Hamilton-Jacobi theory. To demonstrate its effectiveness, we investigate, from this viewpoint, the Morosi-Tondo integrable system derived as a stationary reduction of the seventh-order Korteweg-de Vries flow to show explicitly that the system in question is an orthogonally separable Hamiltonian system. The latter result is a new characterization of the Morosi-Tondo system.
This is joint work with Joshua Horwood and Raymond McLenaghan.
The relativistic Vlasov-Maxwell system (RVM in short) is a kinetic model that arises in plasma physics and describes the time evolution of a collisionless plasma whose particles interact through the self-induced electromagnetic field. The plasma is assumed to be at high temperatures, thus the particles may travel at speeds comparable to the speed of light. The main open problem concerning this system is to prove whether or not classical solutions develop singularities in finite time. Glassey and Strauss established the existence and uniqueness of local in time classical solutions for smooth and compactly supported initial data. They showed that such solutions can be continued globally in time provided the momenta of the particles are controlled. Subsequently, they proved that such control is achieved if their kinetic energy density remains bounded for bounded times. In this talk, we show that the latter assumption can be weaken to the boundedness of the spatial density.
This talk represents joint work with Brigitta Vermesi. Using Stein's method, Chatterjee and Crawford proved a CLT for the energy density in the high temperature region of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick mean-field spin glass model. Using Chen's extension of Stein's method, we proved CLT's for the dilute mean-field spin glass model known as the Viana-Bray model, where only a fraction of edges are present, leaving a random graph. The fluctuations are larger and some new features appear.
In this talk we will review some recent results on the (local exact) controllability of (certain) nonlinear Schrödinger equations with interior, boundary, and bilinear controls. Some applications to quantum control systems will be discussed.
We study the existence of multi-vortex solutions to the Ginzburg-Landau equations external potential in R2. We show that if the external potential is strong enough (in some sense) and has widely spaced critical points, then there exists multi-vortex solutions centered near the critical points of the external potential.
This is joint work with Aaron Pakylak.
A procedure is developed to average tensor fields over simply connected differentiable manifolds. Parallel transport in metric affine spaces is reviewed and arguments are made to ensure that an averaging procedure be well defined. We argue that in a Riemannian space (Vn) only parallel transport along geodesics provides for a well-defined averaging procedure. Alternatively, if one wishes to develop a well-defined averaging procedure that is independent of the path used for parallel transport, then one must use a Weitzenbock connection on a flat manifold (a space of distant parallelism or Wn). With these preliminaries, we define of the average of a tensor field over a finite region in both Vn and Wn spaces, and conclude with comparisons to some of the other averaging procedures.
A Monte Carlo method for sampling self-avoiding walks and polygons is presented. The method (GAS, for Generalised Atmospheric Sampling), samples polygons or walks along weighted sequences by implementing elementary moves generated by the positive, negative and neutral atmospheric statistics of the polygons or walks. GAS is a self-tuning algorithm which samples from uniform distributions over lengths of polygons and walks in an interval [0,nmax] - this implementation is called "flatGAS" (flat histogram GAS).
In the case of polygons, states along a sequence realised by GAS are weighted such that the average weight of states of length n edges is proportional to pn (the number of polygons of length n). Hence, GAS is an approximate enumeration method, and I shall present data estimating the numbers of cubic lattice polygons of specified knot type.
We obtain solvability conditions for some elliptic equations involving non-Fredholm operators with the methods of spectral theory and scattering theory for Schroedinger-type operators.
Consider a Riemannian manifold M with an asymptotic end and a compact (i.e., inner) boundary. On this boundary, fix the boundary metric and mean curvature. Bartnik's "static minimization conjecture" is that, of all asymptotically flat Riemannian metrics on M with

Whanganui River - Roadside Stories
A Manatū Taonga audio guide to the Whanganui River
Check out the Ministry for Culture and Heritage's audio guide to the Whanganui River in the Video tab.
For the Māori tribes of the Whanganui River, the river was vitally important for transport, food and spiritual wellbeing. Māori caught eels by building ingenious eel weirs in the river – but these structures were removed by European settlers to allow access for steamboats. Boat trips up the river became popular with tourists in the late 19th century.

We don't want to say that Baltimore interim manager Dave Trembley should perhaps rent, not buy, but ... well, it's probably a bad sign when you've had to make one real decision as manager, and your decision already has everyone wanting to fire you.
As you've surely heard by now, Trembley played Miguel Tejada for one inning yesterday afternoon so he could keep his consecutive games streak intact. This is shaky in the first place, but in Baltimore, which is home of freaking Cal Ripken, for cripes sake, it went across like a leady leaden piece of lead.
On the list of sham attempts to influence records, this, to me, exceeds Brett Favre lying down so Michael Strahan could get Gastineau's sack record. The whole point of being the Iron Man is that you not only show up every day, but you show up every day to play every out, and you're good enough to do it without hurting the team. I, personally, can't wait for the O's to trade Tejada, but they can replace Trembley without a suitor. Bring on Rick Dempsey!
Not that it matters now anyway: Tejada's wrist is broken and the streak's over anyway. That is, unless, Trembley keeps putting in for an inning anyway, regardless.

Head Over Heels
By Tomaz Kac
A spanky new remake of the classic Jon Ritman & Bernie Drummand isometric adventure.
This version of Head Over Heels is a pretty darn faithful remake of the Speccy original except with a few spanking extra bits grafted on like a save system and subliminal flashes of erotic art (if I have my way!). I should perhaps tell you a bit about the team who's making the game. I'm the one responsible for the graphics (apart from the lovely logo which you see adorning this site) and I'm Graham Goring.
The programming is by the very talented Tomaz Kac (who only wrote this game because of a hastily scrawled diagram posted on the Retrospec mailing list about how you can't properly sort isometric games without complex masking), the excellent music is by Dorian Black (who I understand has a picture of an old man in his loft - ha ha ha!) and this website and the games' logo is by Pierre Jovanovic.

That's what it felt like as recently as last week, when I posted this mini-rant on The Eloquent Woman page on Facebook, one that thousands saw and interacted with:
Clinton spoke at the Vital Voices Global Leadership Awards on International Women's Day, wearing red as did many women in support of A Day Without a Woman, on the same day. But you could read more about her wispy bangs than about the content of her speech in much of the coverage.
was primarily covered not for her topic of substance, but for wearing yellow and for showing her "baby bump." Clooney, who is pregnant, was thus reduced to being the baby-carrying wife of actor George Clooney, despite her strong speech.
Then we learned that actor Angelina Jolie "looked chic" as she spoke at the London School of Economics Centre for Women, Peace and Security, on her work at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.
I've noted before how Dee Dee Myers, former press secretary to President Bill Clinton, has said that a bad hair day can be a "virtual mute button" for a woman speaker. But it appears, really, that all it takes to silence the woman speaker is to focus on her hair. Or her outfit.What, no content? Angelina Jolie looks chic as she delivers empowering speech at London School of Economics https://t.co/BtA71RSC7x— Denise Graveline (@dontgetcaught) March 15, 2017
This is another persistent and durable silencer that women have been facing for centuries. Consider this take from an exhibit on in Paris just now, about fashion for women during World War I, nearly a century ago: "if the war accelerated modernization already underway, fashion also reflected profound anxiety about women's liberation." We're seeing that anxiety about three powerful women today, and it gets in the way of a further power they are wielding, public speaking.
In coming weeks, we'll have a substantive speech of Clooney's featured in our Famous Speech Friday series, and of course, Clinton and Jolie are already have speeches featured here. I wish more media outlets would focus on their content instead of their appearance, but we'll continue to make content the focus for women speakers featured here on The Eloquent Woman.

As much performance art as movie, "300: Rise of an Empire" unfolds as beautiful, bloody, slow-motion machismo. Torsos bared, swords flashing, another 300 rock the leather skirts and loincloths with pounding, passionate music perfectly underscoring this latest round of the "beautiful death" the ancient Greeks were so poetic about.
Though it is hard to replicate the freshness of the first, "Rise" is almost as visually stunning as 2006's "300," when Gerard Butler as King Leonidas sacrificed Sparta's finest abs in a no-win battle against the Persian god-king Xerxes (Rodrigo Santoro). This time, there is more to it than scantily clad men mud wrestling to hone their battle skills. A female demands the right to bear arms, and bare breasts. Artemisia (Eva Green) is as fierce and brave as any man, and she's dressed to kill.
Zack Snyder, who directed the first, remains a guiding force in "Rise," writing the script with Kurt Johnstad. Director Noam Murro continues the arresting design ethos of "300," which took its visual cues from graphic novelist Frank Miller, on whose work the films are based. The freeze-framing of blood spurting and heads rolling is amped up significantly, allowing much more time for the audience to absorb — appreciate? — the gore.
Based on another story idea from Miller, "Rise" picks a different battle that unfolds around the same time as "300's" Thermopylae clash at the Hot Gates. This one is by sea and led by the slightly less buff but more philosophical Themistokles (Sullivan Stapleton), an Athenian naval general and part-time politician.
Xerxes is technically still the nemesis. We get a look at his before-and-after, how a trip to an evil spa in the mountains turned him into Persia's golden boy with shimmery skin, impressive piercings and to-die-for bling. But Xerxes is more of a poser in "Rise," often asked to look god-like at a discreet distance.
The one to watch is Artemisia, and not just because Green gets the best costumes — leather and chainmail has rarely been as fetching — but because her character is as tactical a warrior as Themistokles, and she has a grudge to match.
Some of the "300" are back for "Rise," most notably Leonidas wife, Queen Gorgo (Lena Headey). She is also the film's narrator, making sure we don't get confused with all the Thems and Therms.
That a narrator is necessary to walk us through the complexities might suggest there's a problem with the script. There is. For all of its hyper-realized visuals, "Rise of an Empire" is a very talkie film. The Queen not only explains Themistokles' push for a unification of the Greek city-states but Sparta's isolationist's stance, Persia's desire for dominance, Artemisia's difficult Greek adolescence, her unexpected allegiance to Persian King Darius, King Darius' death, Xerxes' rise. And I haven't even mentioned all the ruminations on fathers and sons, the price of democracy, the pain of war, etc., etc., etc.
It's not that Headey isn't a fine storyteller; the actress is actually quite good at bringing Greek mythology to life. But the film relies on her so much that it is sometimes a shock when a character actually speaks. And sometimes when they do speak, you understand why the filmmaker keeps turning to Headey. A particularly embarrassing democracy debate comes to mind — in addition to its windy pontificating, Themistokles and his cohorts are put in red togas, which are frankly not flattering in any light.
Fortunately Themistokles regains his manhood by the time he is needed for the sex scene with Artemisia. Fueled by his-and-her rage that quickly leads to the ripping of clothes and some serious sword play along with the foreplay, the scene represents a high or low, depending on your point of view.
Still, you couldn't ask for a more magnetic villain than Green, whose fight choreography is incredible. Opposite that force field, Stapleton is not quite as commanding. He's better on his own, with his men, on the high seas.
Those skirmishes are truly a tribute to the power of visual effects, the skill of cinematographer Simon Duggan and production designer Patrick Tatopoulos' creative reinvention of period details.
The spectacularly brutal fighting is the film's main calling card, and in that "Rise of an Empire" doesn't disappoint. Still, in the battle for best guilty pleasure, I'd give it to the Spartans of "300," by a head.
'300: Rise of an Empire'

Ah, the S-Curl. The source of what would lead to millions of embarrassing family photos at holiday gatherings everywhere.
Back in the '90s, my dad was a store manager at Merry Go Round and to impress the customers, he rocked a reddish-burgundy S-Curl flat-top (think Sinbad in "A Different World") that required God knows how many hours of maintenance. He also drove a yellow Ford EXP at the time.
Why he didn't enter the 1990 S-Curl Manhunt Corvette Giveaway is beyond me. I mean, come on! Cruise around the exciting world of the S-Curl man! And you could have become a model, too.
But this has to be one of the funniest car giveaways I've seen, and it just makes you wonder how many promotional tie-ins General Motors had around the '90s that we haven't stumbled across yet. "The Velveeta/Pace Salsa nachos Pontiac Trans Sport Extravaganza!" "The Kotex Oldsmobile Achieva Sweepstakes!"

E-discovery data crunchers sort evidence in the digital age
They are the data crunchers of the legal world, doing the digital equivalent of sifting through reams of documents in search of key phrases that can be used by companies as evidence to fight lawsuits or respond to subpoenas.
These data crunchers are known as "e-discovery vendors," and they are part of a growing and lucrative industry built around the management of electronic data. E-discovery includes any kind of electronically stored information -- emails, text messages, and Facebook and Twitter posts -- that law firms and corporate legal departments must gather, analyze and hand over to adversaries in litigation, or to the government in federal investigations into corporate malfeasance.
Many regard e-discovery as an unglamorous yet important part of the legal process, but it's becoming a hot topic among leaders of law firms for one reason: money.
"We care about it because of the cost," said Scott Kane, a lawyer with Squire Sanders in Washington who leads the firm's e-discovery and data-management team.
As the volume of information that companies store in the cloud is ballooning, so are the costs for sorting that data. Hundreds of thousands of dollars can be spent managing electronic data in a major lawsuit or government investigation, and that cost is getting passed on to corporate legal departments when companies are trying to cut back on legal spending.
"So much of e-discovery is about how to effectively get at the evidence in an economical way," Kane said.
In the pre-digital age, law firms paid armies of junior lawyers by the hour to comb through documents and pick out relevant information.
"That way is not economical anymore," Kane said. "When you had a single box of documents to review, you could pay an associate to go through it. When you have the electronic equivalent of hundreds of those boxes, you can't pay a law firm associate rate."
Today's e-discovery companies are replacing that manpower with technology that uses "predictive coding," which scans a sample portion of data for key words and phrases, then applies that to the rest of the data -- essentially replacing human labor and judgment in picking out what's relevant.
This approach had been used for years, Kane said, but did not really take off until recently, after several court decisions endorsed the practice.
"For many years, there wasn't a court case saying this approach was okay," he said. "It didn't mean it wasn't OK, it just meant there wasn't an explicit decision that authorized the use of this approach. In the last six to 18 months, there have been several cases around the country that have endorsed this approach. Now, everyone -- law firms, e-discovery vendors -- are running around saying, 'Of course we do predictive coding.' That's the flavor of the month."
E-discovery companies typically charge by the hour or by gigabyte of data but are increasingly moving toward flat fees -- mirroring what law firms themselves have done in the last few years to give corporate clients more predictability in legal spending.
"The approach we've been taking is to do everything by fixed fees, which is helpful to corporations," said Abtin Buergari, chief executive of the District-based e-discovery provider Modus. "We can give them the cost upfront, so they can give the client the cost upfront."
Buergari co-founded Modus in 2008. The company has since grown to a 210-employee operation that in 2011 earned $7 million in revenue.
Companies like Modus are poised to grow as the protection of vast quantities of data continue to be a prime concern among corporations. Buergari said that's because the companies bring technical expertise that law firms are often ill-equipped to handle internally.
"Law firms are not technology companies, just like Modus is not a law firm," Buergari said. "The most critical [company] data goes to a law firm. The CEO, CFO, COO -- they [have] the kind of information the DOJ wants to look at in [antitrust investigations]. When you take their email and hand it to a law firm whose business is not data management, it's probably not the best thing. . . . I'd say in the next three to five years, we'll see fewer law firms doing it in-house."

The big, blank, white door on the alleyway garage that came with Torre Franz's new house in the city seemed to be calling out for something – to be covered by a giant photo of Frank Sinatra.
The idea came to Franz when he bought the place on West Tupper in the spring. He couldn't say why exactly … "I don't really listen to Frank Sinatra," said Franz, 24, whose iPod has indie and psychedelic rock of Guided by Voices and Magnetic Fields. "I didn't think anybody would be mad about me putting up Frank Sinatra."
So far it's true. The enormous garage door picture of the silken-voiced-Hoboken-boy-made-good has been the kind of dressed-up art surprise that people in his eclectic neighborhood on the edge of Allentown are appreciating. In the two months since it went up, they've been stopping at the bend in Keep Alley, between Virginia Street and Tupper, to talk, point, take pictures.
It is just the kind of big, provocative outdoor photo art that its creator, Max Collins, wants to do more of. More opportunities to make people smile. More opportunities to bring a down city up.
"I grew up feeling [the decline] and it pushed me away," said Collins, 24, who graduated two years ago from the University of Michigan. "Even my parents are surprised that I've come back."
He started to experiment with the big outdoor photo images after a visit to New Orleans when he was finishing his studies; with them he has fused his journalism and fine arts major. Empty sides of buildings, he says, are the canvases of the 21st century, and Buffalo has plenty.
Works in Collins' evolving collection include the meditating man on the side of a building at Elmwood and Delavan avenues. The photo of a friend with eyes closed and hands in prayer was intended to bring calm to a busy intersection – until he faded and was painted over by someone else this fall.
Last week Collins' contribution to what he calls the local "visual culture" was a close-up of an illustrator friend's questioning eyes on boards mounted on a rental apartment porch on Elmwood Avenue. Waiters from Pano's restaurant came outside to watch.
"If it can make you forget about your next meal, it's doing its job," Collins said, quoting a line that he likes for how it fits his art.
Now he's thinking of what else he can do with porches. "I want to start focusing on blocks and neighborhoods," said Collins. "Throughout a certain block you might start seeing eyes on houses."
His idiosyncratic projects have developed from conversations with friends. The Sinatra garage came up while he was watching football on TV at the end of the summer: Collins began to consider covering a wall in the apartment where they sat. ("I'm at a stage where I'm having a hard time getting permission for walls.")
Then Franz mentioned his idea, and a new mural frontier for garage door photos emerged. Franz's house had its old beauty obscured by dull-looking gray vinyl. His backyard, along the edge of the alley, ended with a plain white garage door that faced out, like a period that wanted to be an exclamation point.
Collins, an East Aurora native, finished another, novel commission last month. A member of the Jacobs family – and fellow East Auroran – acted on a suggestion from a friend's mother and Collins cover the walls of the riders lounge at the National Horse Show in Lexington, Ky., with giant photos of the Jacobs' horses.
Posting art for anyone on the street to see is a thrill.
"It makes art approachable," Collins said. "I think it's the underlying tone for the quality of life in a town. Public art is a great way of getting the public engaged."
Before the end of the year, he expects his next big thing to be overlooking Grant Street, near Lafayette: A 36-by-12-foot mural collaboration with two other artists, posted like a billboard on the front of the community center and headquarters for the housing nonprofit PUSH.
Collins' photo of two interlocking hands will have children, painted and colored by others, jumping off the knuckles.
This summer, he pasted up his portraits of bored-looking Springville teenagers on a boarded building the local arts center wants to convert into a café and gathering place. Teens have since added painted borders in rainbow of colors, and fundraising for the project is under way.
"It's kind of saying, 'Hey your town's boring,' " he said. "It teaches people. How can we change the environment and make it more exciting or better?"
To do Sinatra, Collins had to Google a good old picture of him in a recording studio. He monkeyed with it in Photoshop and then went to the copy shop – "The people at Kinko's are like a second family" – to print out a mammoth version, one 36-inch strip at a time.
Then on a warm afternoon in September, he brought over three panels of Sinatra and, with some beer and a friend, he used urethane and glue to paste them on like wallpaper, while Tony Lombardo watched from the workshop in his garage on the other side of the alley.
"Oh, I love it!" said Lombardo, 57.
Sinatra, Dean Martin and Eddy Arnold are on his iPod and were his soundtrack in the 1960s when he was growing up.
Back then neighbors in this once Italian neighborhood felt like aunts and uncles. West Tupper is now home to all kinds. Lombardo says he loves the mix, but he doesn't know them all like he used to.
In a weird way, this fall, the sunny-looking Sinatra has been bringing them together.
Lombardo can see from his garage how people stop their cars with surprise. Not long ago, he took a woman who was new to the neighborhood to see it. "I tell everybody," said Lombardo, who wouldn't mind putting the rest of the Rat Pack on his garage. Or, maybe the Beatles.
To Franz and Collins, Sinatra is so iconic, his music is not the point. The late crooner has added something amusing, universal, surprising and good to the neighborhood Franz likes for its eclectic, ungentrified style.
"He was a big-time celebrity, but he was just a regular guy," said Franz, who studies psychology at the University at Buffalo and works at an appliance store.
He thought it was cool that a graffiti tagger noticed and referenced the garage, scrawling "Stormy Weather" – the heartbreak song Sinatra was known for – on the "No Parking" sign next to the door.
As the two young men stood there talking, a long old-style sedan pulled up. Collins nodded when an older man leaned out the window, and, in Spanish-accented English, asked who did it.
He said, "Nice," drove off and Collins smiled. That kind of random, subtle moment just makes him want to paste up more giant photos.
"We're just trying to make Buffalo look cool," Collins said.

Showing off the bump! Kim Kardashian stepped out in NYC on Wednesday, March 27 wearing a baby bump-hugging knee-length gray sweater dress with a jewel embellishments on top.
The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star, who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kanye West in July, flaunted her pregnancy curves in the ensemble at the DuJour Magazine Spring 2013 Issue Celebration held at The Darby in NYC.
Kardashian, 32, recently received some criticism on social media for wearing too-tight outfits during her pregnancy, but the mom-to-be fired backed on her blog, calling the outrage "ridiculous."
"For any concern that my clothes are too tight, I have so many pieces custom fit for my growing body! They make pregnancy Spanx which are tight. So this theory sounds ridiculous!" she wrote. "I feel my best when I am in heels and chic clothes! Happy mommy, happy baby!"
Kardashian's maternity style has been on showcase this week as she makes the media rounds to promote her new film, Temptation. While discussing the Tyler Perry project with BET, the first-time mom-to-be shared her thoughts on how she will raise a biracial child with her African-American boyfriend, 35.
"I have a lot of friends that are all different nationalities and their children are biracial, so they have kind of talked to me a little bit about it and what to expect and what not to expect," she said. "But I think that the most important thing is how I would want to raise my children is to just not see color."
"There will be so many experiences . . . that you won't really know how to prepare for until you really go through it," Kardashian added, "so I think raising a child in general is challenging."
The Keeping Up With the Kardashian star explained, "Obviously you want your children to travel the world and experience different races and different cultures everywhere, so I think that would be something that is important to me to give as much information as I could."

Interesting article from the Wall Street Journal on Japanese whisky
An excellent article about Japanese whisky has just popped up on the Wall Street Journal website (update: it also made it into the main paper). Kenneth Maxwell, deputy Tokyo bureau chief for Dow Jones newswires, interviewed myself and others about the prospect of Japanese whisky becoming a serious export commodity. Until now, the industry has basically been all about the domestic Japanese market.

Best Of Season…..Carine Roitfeld of Paris Vogue
CommentsClose comment
80 comments
what the hell are those last two?
Carine always looks so fine! I love she has slowly quit the black gucci look. Those legs and that tan!
All I could say is that this woman is a diva totally chic to the max
Love the grey suit in that first pic!!! Who's the designer?
like all but the fur…grotesque.
She has a tomboy thing on her demure…But that is part oh her allure I suppose.
The confidence exudes, the gams are glam, the smile – all with the wardrobe I most covet. These all lead me to sigh with relief that there is still someone who'll move fashion forward with inspiration and chutzpah.
now the followers will load all the manifestations of comformism.
I'd like it better if she stopped slouching…
You're kidding with that last shot, right? What is that, a London Fog raincoat twisted into a skirt?
Without doubt, this woman is the reigning goddess of fashion. I remember reading a few seasons ago about how she insisted on wearing a towering pair of heels with a hobble skirt to a party. This resulted in her being tardy because it took her 1/2 an hour to cross the lawn. The eyebrows, the hair, the legs, the willingness to sacrifice mobility for fashion – it does not get any better.
I adore the four ensembles, can´t decide which is my favourite.
There´s something about the way she's wearing the "trench skirt" with that lovely baby blue shirt ,like Ăśber casual-cool , that makes her look extra well dressed.But then again , she wears everything with a casual and fun attitude ,and she looks incredible.
The fur -back hoodie …OH-MY-GOD!
She gets it!!! I get it!! I love it!! Uber chic to the highest level!!!
That creativity with fashion is the reason I go out of my way to pay 12 bucks for French Vogue.
I cannot believe this woman is in her 50s. Unfreakingbelievable.
(Have a few problems with the fur hoodie, though…first, it's fur; second, the style is too "exoskeleton" for my taste…)
OHHH C'mon Devil 9.07 am !!!
She IS well dressed , you can't deny it !!
Relax !!!
What is it with French women–do you get a gene for awesome style at birth or something?
She has things on in these different photos that I would look at and say, "NO!", but I have to admit that she looks great in every single one! Even the wierd dress/coat/skirt thing that I don't understand, really doesn't look horrid.
I am so tired of boring dressing that I will take the fur, the wierd coat/skirt any day over another pair of jeans or cords or even the freaking leggings we are starting to see everywhere.
And her name is Carine. What a cool name. I hope a lot of her rubs off on me. Viva le France!
Love the first one, and the second is good except it really does look like she cut up a t-shirt and folded it under. That part could have been better.
The fur is terrible. I'm glad maria said it to -it's disgusting.
I don't even know what to say about the last one. She seems to pull it off, but on closer inspectionit *does* look like a London Fog raincoat twisted into a skirt :)
I love Carine Roitfeld and usually, she has the best looks. But the pics show a bit of a mixed bag of looks for me. Love the first look. Second look is cool, but the "corset" looks a bit too purposeful (not a very casual elegance). The fur thing in the third picture is the worst. It makes her look like a possum. The last one — well, that skirt is just over designed. I like the way she matched the weird skirt with a casual shirt, though. Makes the whole outfit seem less like she is trying to look like an editor of Vogue and is in fact a master of a rather insouciant style.
I think her smile is so sexy. She looks genuinely happy, which makes one want to talk to her, interact with her, be near her. She draws the eye.
Don't kill me. But I don't like her look.
I still can't believe this woman is in her fifties, she looks incredible, and it almost goes without saying that she has sensational style! Carine for President!
all fabulous (aside from the fur)… but I'm blown away with the easy, but razor-sharp, chic of the grey suit with those amazing shoes. Wow. Wish I had that in my wardrobe as secret "dressed-in-a-pinch" weapon.
Sorry, the "trench skirt" made me embarassed like I was seeing more of her than I should. The odd wrap around the bodice looks like the protective netting around those Asian pears-the fur looks like Grizzley Adams-I'm not seeing why everyone's so keen about this.
My hero!!
She makes it look so easy. That´s her major virtue, in a world when everybody looks like they´re trying waaay to hard, she makes it look effortless, and plus she has that devilish grin…
The girl smiles!
She´s the goddess of everyday beauty.
she's great!
"London Fog raincoat twisted into a skirt?" is i believe a junya watanabe from spring '06. the construction of the skirt and his trenchcoats from this line are utterly brilliant. hats off to junya for his amazing talent and carine for having the confidence to wear it.
she is terribly chic, undeniably…
but what of that fur-backed outfit? it looks rather awkward–fur to sit on;
and in what season is it good to feel warm on your back and behind and cold on your arms and legs…?
i think it is a little to awkward/constructed to be cool.
though it's true she pulls off a lot with her cool attitude (like the leather corset-belt with a t-shirt or that convoluted beige skirt).
and these are great pics, sart. do you have one of the front of the hoodie-fur combo?

You're kidding with that last shot, right? What is that, a London Fog raincoat twisted into a skirt?
I agree with you anon 9:26.
Hey Jason and anonymous at 9:26, The skirt is Comme des Garçons and looks wonderful in real life.

Her sense is so sick.
All haters are recognized in this thread.
The last skirt is ill! The photograph just above it makes me walk behind her in awe! It's really hypnotic.
I do agree that her posture needs work but, I'm no friggin chiropractor!
She, La Piaggi, and Isabella Blow really make Anna Wintour look dull and insecure…
She's got it. Period.
The "trench skirt," aka "London Fog," is the best of the bunch. Caught my eye on the page immeidately. Such a wry sense of humor in it.
Sart! Great series of shots, including a reprise of the white lace corset. With all four together, its clear to see her overall style. She is tres chic! And the suit in the top photo is so perfect. I join the chorus here asking for more info on the suit!
it doesn't get any better than carine. i would even venture to say she beats anna.
I love her, love her style and what she does with French Vogue, but that fur coat? no way…
The last skirt is fun but I do not think I recommend it – looks like a twisted combination of trench-coat plus baby diapers….
slouching and pigeon toes….i think they kill an outfit. there's a difference between slouching and looking relaxed. she would look like the amazing woman she is even more if she wasn't hunched in the second picture! but alas, she's a genius.
love the metallic shoes with the otherwise casual-chic outfit…
It seems to me she's all about fashion for fashion's sake. The comment about hobbling down a lawn seems to reinforce this. All the looks in those pics just seem, to me, kind of stressed out. Maybe I'm one who just finds subtlety far more compelling? By subtlely I don't mean plain, just that it takes a little work to 'get' the look. Sartorialist: perhaps that's why I love those photos most where you tell us to look at the details, even on the most outrageous of outfits.

In her 50s? Really?? I was thinking 'late 30s' … I think she could teach us a few things about staying young, not just fashion.
The last shot – the man's shirt with the trench shirt is beyond chic. Taking something as simple as that shirt, and putting it with that skirt – brilliant!
Love the fact that the shirt is loose, too. Not fitted or overly obvious.
I can't believe that the general consensus is that she has "it". I disagree. The first shot was okay but there was nothing special about the others. I wouldn't give her a second glance if I saw her on the street. Just because it's different doesn't mean it's hot.
she is amazing!!! such creativity! totaly sexy….
amazing outfits!great way to pull them off.
I appreciate a woman who takes risks with fashion.
Her eyes, framed by the bangs and bushes for brows, are so drop-dead striking that it cancels out any clothing choices (good and bad). It is her relaxed demeanor, smile and je ne se qouis (not to mention that Veronica Lake hair) that catapault her far above her competitors. Anna is dry– predictable, scowling, and not nearly as mesmerizing to watch. Carine grabs one and holds tight…. Vive la France!
That grey tunic and skirt is a killer!
YSL, Balenciaga…?
Oh I worship at the temple of Carine. Many thanks For these photos.

ITA with the above comment
She makes my heart pitter patter. I love it when she isn't wearing black because you can more easily get a sense for her absolute superiority (which can be camouflaged dans noir).
boy is she hot
who cares?
she is the most perfect human alive.
@Ansh: I can't agree with you. I think it's almost entirely fashion for HER OWN sake, and if I looked a quarter this good when youth fails me, I'd be a very lucky girl. I love the way she carries off the slightly offbeat looks with perfect insouciance- makes you wonder why her magazine wasted a cover on Paris Hilton when all their in-house talent is so beautiful on top of being talented.
What makes her so fab is her smile–she's having fun with style, with life, etc. Actually, Sart, one of the things I love about your pics is that most of your subjects smile for you! We need more of that.
she always looks like perfection!
She is like a schoolgirl experimenting with fashion and having FUN!
Her hair, there's something about it that I dislike. A lot. But in the other part, yes, she is such an icon, it's just incredible to think that she's in her 50′s…
She makes the other fashion editors look amateur. Well apart from the fashion editor herself.
Carine Roitfield always reminds me of Luca Turin's definition of the word "chic": "Chic is when you don't have to prove you have money. Chic is not aspirational. Chic is all about humor, which means chic is about intelligence. And there has to be oddness. Luxury is comfortable, expensive and conformist. But chic, which, of course, must be polite and not incommode others, can be as weird as it wants."
how come no-one mentionned the ALAIA white belt-corset ??
ALAIA ahhhhhhh always wonderfull
sory blue floppy hat but i can't let you say parishilton waist the vogue's cover. she was wearing an alaia skirt "quand mĂŞme".
I just adore carine roitfeld….apparently she's about 50 years old…I dunno how true it is, but her style is hott!!
Great outfits indeed. But that white bustier by David Yurman was far better on Kate Moss.
Carine is amazingly cool.
The legs are fab – but the face?? Oh, that face!
Ok, I take that back – I just read she's IN HER 50s!!! In which case, SHE IS HOT!
i really like the first and last one.
but, even though she looks fabulous at 50, the fur outfit really does make her look like roadkill.
Everytime I have laid eyes on a picture of Carine, I can't help but smile. She's brilliant, collected and naturally chic.
What more could you ask of her?
Te amo Carine!
She's as the French say so Jolie Laide
don't like her style whatsoever . . except for the first shot. what was she thinking when she wore the other outfits?
the looks are perfect, amazing, but her hair…
Ok haters,whatever,I like the grey wool suit/dress Bc its something I could wear to work and not look like I'm ready to meet someone for a martini in 5 minutes. Some of us cant look like sluts at work.
after 6 years (which means more or less 24 fashion seasons) later these looks are still extremely cool and up to date. this is style.
Yikes . . . spooky
she has the best looks,I like the grey wool suit amazing

This section describes the transaction support built into the Enterprise JavaBeans programming model for the GlassFish Server.
As a developer, you can write an application that updates data in multiple databases distributed across multiple sites. The site might use EJB servers from different vendors. This section provides overview information on the following topics:
The Enterprise JavaBeans Specification, v3.0 requires support for flat (as opposed to nested) transactions. In a flat transaction, each transaction is decoupled from and independent of other transactions in the system. Another transaction cannot start in the same thread until the current transaction ends.
Flat transactions are the most prevalent model and are supported by most commercial database systems. Although nested transactions offer a finer granularity of control over transactions, they are supported by far fewer commercial database systems.
Understanding the distinction between global and local transactions is crucial in understanding the GlassFish Server support for transactions. See Transaction Scope.
Both local and global transactions are demarcated using the javax.transaction.UserTransaction interface, which the client must use. Local transactions bypass the transaction manager and are faster. For more information, see The Transaction Manager, the Transaction Synchronization Registry, and UserTransaction.
The EJB protocol is designed to give the container the flexibility to select the disposition of the instance state at the time a transaction is committed. This allows the container to best manage caching an entity object's state and associating an entity object identity with the EJB instances.
There are three commit-time options:
Option A – The container caches a ready instance between transactions. The container ensures that the instance has exclusive access to the state of the object in persistent storage.
In this case, the container does not have to synchronize the instance's state from the persistent storage at the beginning of the next transaction.
Commit option A is not supported for this GlassFish Server release.
Option B – The container caches a ready instance between transactions, but the container does not ensure that the instance has exclusive access to the state of the object in persistent storage. This is the default.
In this case, the container must synchronize the instance's state by invoking ejbLoad from persistent storage at the beginning of the next transaction.
Option C – The container does not cache a ready instance between transactions, but instead returns the instance to the pool of available instances after a transaction has completed.
The life cycle for every business method invocation under commit option C looks like this.
ejbActivate ejbLoad business method ejbStore ejbPassivate
If there is more than one transactional client concurrently accessing the same entity, the first client gets the ready instance and subsequent concurrent clients get new instances from the pool.
The GlassFish Server deployment descriptor has an element, commit-option, that specifies the commit option to be used. Based on the specified commit option, the appropriate handler is instantiated.
An administrator can control a number of domain-level Transaction Service settings. For details, see Configuring the Transaction Service.
The Transaction Timeout setting can be overridden by a bean. See Bean-Level Container-Managed Transaction Timeouts.
In addition, the administrator can monitor transactions using statistics from the transaction manager that provide information on such activities as the number of transactions completed, rolled back, or recovered since server startup, and transactions presently being processed.
For information on administering and monitoring transactions, select the Transaction Service component under the relevant configuration in the Administration Console and click the Help button. Also see Chapter 21, Administering Transactions, in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Administration Guide.

FIXME comment. When I'm working on my own projects, this is no big deal. But I don't like adding
FIXMEs to code at work, or in open source repos. And really, I prefer not to keep them hanging around in my own repos, either. So I set up a git pre-push hook. It looks like this:
ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ cat .git/hooks/pre-push
if ag fixme . -i --ignore tmp/ --ignore log/ --ignore node_modules/ --ignore vendor/; then
echo 'not pushing! clean up your fixmes'
exit 1
exit 0
This code uses
ag to make sure that there are no
FIXMEs in my code, skipping dependency directories since they're not my problem, and either returns a Unix failure code, interrupting the push, if
FIXMEs are present, or a success code, allowing the push to proceed, if they aren't.
In other words, if I tell git to push code which contains a
FIXME, git effectively says no.
This worked well for a while. But soon, at work, somebody else added a
FIXME to a repo. So I commented out my hook for a few days or weeks, and then, when I had a spare second, I fixed their
FIXME. But soon enough, somebody else added a
FIXME, and it was harder to fix. So I commented out the hook, and forgot all about it.
Eventually, though, I had to do some pretty complicated work, and I generated a lot of
FIXMEs in the process. As an emergency hack, I uncommented the hook, did my main work, tried to push my branch, and got automatically chastised for trying to push a
FIXME. So I went in, fixed them, and pushed the branch.
This is my routine now. If I'm dealing with a big enough chunk of work that I can't take a break to fix a
FIXME, I just uncomment the hook for the period of time that I'm working on that topic branch. It's a really good way to stay on task while also putting together a to-do list for refactoring. You basically can't finish the branch until you go through the
FIXME to-do list, but you're 100% free to ignore that to-do list, and focus on the primary task, until it's time to push the branch. So you can easily build refactoring into every topic branch without getting distracted (which is the primary risk of refactoring as you go).
It's probably pretty easy to modify this hook so that it only looks at unstaged changes, so I might do that later on, but it works pretty well as a habit already.

MCLEAN, Va., Jan. 7 (UPI) —
The Florida State Seminoles, who completed a 14-0 season with a BCS title game win over Auburn, are a unanimous No. 1 in the USA Today coaches' football poll.
Florida State defeated Auburn 34-31 in Monday's Bowl Championship Series finale, capping a season in which the Seminoles swept through the ACC and then claimed what is considered college football's season title.
Even with a perfect record it took a wildly swinging final few minutes of the college football season to come up with a winner. There were four lead changes in the final 4:42 of Monday's game with Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston connecting with Kelvin Benjamin for a 2-yard scoring pass with 13 seconds to play finally deciding the title.
Afterward all 59 voting coaches (three couldn't be reached, USA Today said) listed the Seminoles No. 1 and Florida State had its first college football title since the Jan. 4, 2000, BCS final win.
Florida State was No. 12 in the pre-season poll and took over the No. 1 spot Dec. 1, two days after Auburn stunned season-long No. 1 Alabama with a return of a missed field goal.
Auburn (12-2), which didn't receive poll votes until early October and wasn't ranked until Oct. 20, is second. Michigan State (13-1) took the No. 3 spot with South Carolina (11-2) finishing fourth and Missouri (12-2) coming in fifth.
Oklahoma (11-2) jumps to sixth and Clemson (11-2) is seventh. Alabama (11-2) falls to eighth after the final regular-season game loss to Auburn and a 45-31 loss to Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. Oregon (11-2) ends up No. 9 while Stanford (12-2) and Ohio State (12-2) tie for 10th.
Central Florida (12-1) is voted 12th followed by No. 13 Baylor (11-2), 14th-ranked Louisiana State (10-3) and Louisville (12-1), which is No. 15.
UCLA (10-3) comes in at 16th and Oklahoma State (10-3) ends up 17th with Texas A&M (9-4) at No. 18. South Carolina (1-4), unranked in the final regular-season poll, takes the 19th spot and Arizona State (10-4) is 20th.
Wisconsin (9-4) is 21st while Duke (1-4) is at No. 22. Vanderbilt (9-4), Notre Dame (9-4) and Nebraska (9-4) in order, complete the Top 25.
Fresno State, Northern Illinois, Georgia and Miami (Fla.) drop out of the final 2013-14 Top 25.
