Tokyo Burning Interview with Tony Barnstone
No full textInterview with Tony Barnstone about adapting his poetry to music. Tokyo\u27s Burning is a CD that tells history from the inside, telling stories of the Pacific theater of WWII not from the God\u27s eye view but from the points of view of American and Japanese civilians and soldiers who lived and suffered through Pearl Harbor and Iwo Jima, the firebombing of Tokyo and the atom bomb drop on Hiroshima. Songs in the CD are based upon 15 years of research into the Pacific theater of WWII by Tony Barnstone—poet, author, and professor at Whittier College in Los Angeles. Tony worked with oral histories, histories, diaries, letters, and memoirs, and did his own interviews with vets and their families to write a book of poems titled Tongue of War: From Pearl Harbor to Nagasaki (BkMk Press, 2009). Though many of the songs deal with atrocity—sex slavery, torture, internment camps, even cannibalism—the CD itself is meant to take a neutral stance, allowing each character to speak his or her view, without judgment, assuming that the readers will find their own moral paths through these competing voices and viewpoints. As one character says, Seems everyone has a point of view, but no one has perspective. L.A.-based songwriters John Clinebell and Ariana Hall, who work together under the name Genuine Brandish, were commissioned by Tony to work with him to translate his book into 15 songs (with the essential help of producer Andrew Bush). What if history had a human face? What if the people who lived history could speak to it? This CD is an attempt to amplify the smaller voices, the human voices, of those who lived through the war and help them to sing history to us
Tony Ardizzone, 3rd Annual ODU Literary Festival
No full textFrom the training grounds of Chicago and Bowling Green, Tony Ardizzone serves as running guard for the creative writing program at ODU. Author of a novel ( In the Name of the Father ) and a collection of short stories ( Idling ), he is also the editor of Intro, an annual journal of the best writing from college workshops around the country. In a nearly completed accompanying volume to In the Name of the Father, Ardizzone traces the route by which the character Vito Scaparelli reaches Vietnam. Ardizzone has published 15 short stories in distinguished fiction quarterlies. He believes that the writing of fiction is the crafting of interiorized drama

Sharp minimax estimation of the variance of Brownian motion corrupted with Gaussian noise
No full textLet Wt be a Brownian motion with ²in i.∼i.d. N(0, 1), i = 1, . . . , n, independent of Wt. σ, τ > 0 are real, unknown parameters. Suppose we observe Yi,n = σWi/n + τ ²in. In this paper we establish sharp estimators for σ2 and τ 2 in minimax sense, i.e. they attain the minimax constant asymptotically. A short and direct proof for the minimax lower bound is given. These estimators are based on a spectral decomposition of the underlying process Yi,n and can be computed explicitly taking O(n log n) operations. We outline how these estimators can be generalized from Brownian motion to processes with independent increments. Further we show that the spectral estimators presented are asymptotically normal
