Pickup truck sought in Sandown hit-and-run
SANDOWN - A 13-year-old boy, walking home with another boy, was hit Sunday night by a pickup truck which fled the scene, police said.
The teen, whose name police are not releasing at this time, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
Sgt. Aurie Roy said the incident happened about 7:50 p.m. as the children were walking near 409 Main St., the northern side of Route 121A.
Roy said the younger boy told police he remembered hearing a loud vehicle coming just before the 13-year-old boy was hit by the mirror of a pickup truck.
Police are looking for a white or silver pickup truck, possibly with a loud exhaust, with a damaged side mirror which fled the scene. Investigators recovered parts from the truck mirror at the scene.
Anyone with information about the truck or the incident is asked to call police at 887-3887 or Rockingham County Dispatch at 679-2225.

The good person of Szechwan
Methuen, 1965 - 109 Seiten
Brecht's famous parable, written in exile in 1939-41, shows that in an unjust society good can only survive by means of evil. In it, the gods come to earth in search of enough good people to justify their existence. They find Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute, and make her a gift that enables her to set up her own business. But her goodness brings ruin and she must disguise herself as a man in order to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive.
Published in Methuen Drama's Modern Classics series, this edition features an introduction and extensive notes and textual variants.

Excellent play with a wonderful female protagonist. That the whims of the gods and the inability to be "good" and survive turn her into the more practical male counterpart for survival is fascinating to me. But she should have lost the boyfriend.

Brady Quinn has been ruled out after suffering a head injury in Sunday's loss to the Oakland Raiders. Crennel promoted Quinn to the starting role a week ago, but he barely left the gate against the Raiders. Crennel told reporters Tuesday that Quinn still is undergoing tests to determine if he has a concussion.
"(The team doctors) haven't given me any indication (on Quinn's condition) other than he can't play on Thursday," Crennel said.
Don't be surprised to see Crennel call Quinn's number again when he's healthy. Unless Cassel blows the doors off the Chargers' defense, the 1-6 Chiefs look increasingly confident they've seen enough from the veteran passer. Still, Crennel continues to stay optimistic about Cassel working his way back into the starting role.
"Sometimes a second chance energizes a guy," Crennel said. "I think Matt is a team guy. He wants to do well, and whatever role he was in, he didn't like it, but he said, 'I'm going to do my job. I'm a Chief, and I'm going to be ready if I'm called on.' That's what he did during (last) week, and that's what he's going to do this week."
We can swing back and forth between Cassel and Quinn all season long. These rumblings only hint at the changes ahead in Kansas City.

|Mets | Prospect Martinez could be a fast mover up the ranks
Tue, 15 Jul 2008 20:11:02 -0700
The New York Daily News' Eric Faynberg reports New York Mets prospect SP Pedro P. Martinez, who has four pitches in his arsenal, could move up quickly through the team's minor league system. He is currently pitching for the Class A Brooklyn Cyclones, where he has a 2.39 ERA in five games. The 22-year-old right-hander stands 6-foot-4 and weighs 191 pounds. "Pedro has what we call a projectable body," said Cyclones pitching coach Hector Berrios. "Guys like him, they can fill out and sometimes gain four or five miles on their fastball. It helps that he's very athletic. I think this kid is something special in the future." He is no relation to veteran Mets SP Pedro Martinez.

WCSU presents 17th annual Jazz Fest April 26 through 28
Guitarists Jim Hall and Julian Lage and saxophonist George Garzone featured in concerts
DANBURY, CONN. — Master guitarists Jim Hall and Julian Lage and legendary saxophonist George Garzone will be among the featured performers during Western Connecticut State University 's 17th annual Jazz Fest from Thursday, April 26, through Saturday, April 28, 2012.
Lage will appear as guest artist with the Jim Hall Quartet in a concert beginning at 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 28, in Ives Concert Hall in White Hall on the university's Midtown campus, 181 White St. in Danbury. The Hall Quartet will perform following an opening session featuring several WCSU student jazz groups. Garzone will be the featured guest performer for the WCSU Jazz Orchestra concert to be presented at 7 p.m. on Friday, April 27, also in Ives Concert Hall.
Ticket prices for each concert are $15 for adults, and $10 for senior citizens and students; Western students with valid identification and student participants in the festival will be admitted free. Ticket information is available at www.wcsu.edu/tickets, or (203) 837-TIXX.
The Jazz Fest concert series will begin with a performance by the WCSU jazz faculty at 7 p.m. on Thursday, April 26, in Ives Concert Hall. Admission will be free and open to the public.
In a jazz guitar career that began with his breakthrough as a member of the Chico Hamilton Quartet in 1955, Hall has collaborated in live and recorded performances with many of the leading jazz performers of the past half century including Sonny Rollins, Art Farmer, Bill Evans, Paul Desmond and Ron Carter. Hall's reputation as one of the leading jazz guitarists of his generation has been matched by his emergence as a composer and arranger of pieces for string, brass and vocal ensembles over the past two decades. "Jim Hall is the reigning master of the jazz guitar," the New Yorker observed. "This poetic player says more with fewer notes than any living improviser."
Lage, who debuted at age 11 on the 1999 recording "Dawg Duos" and developed his skills as a protege of vibraphonist Gary Burton and collaborator with pianist Taylor Eigsti, achieved his own breakthrough album with the 2009 release of "Sounding Point," a Grammy nominee for Best Contemporary Jazz Album. That album and "Gladwell," his 2011 release, "reflect Lage's wide-ranging musical interests and talents, from chamber music, American folk and bluegrass to Latin, world, string-band tradition and modern jazz," his website biography noted.
Garzone performs on saxophone with bassist John Lockwood and drummer Bob Gullotti in The Fringe, a jazz trio founded in 1972 that has become a fixture on the Boston music scene and has released three albums. He has toured widely and collaborated in live performances and more than 20 recordings with many of the leading jazz artists of the past four decades, including appearances with Joe Lovano and the Grammy-winning Joe Lovano Nonet. As a longtime instructor at prestigious music schools in Boston and New York, Garzone also has earned a reputation as a leading educator who has influenced the development of a new generation of jazz performers.
Since 1995, the WCSU Jazz Fest has brought leading jazz artists to WCSU each spring for a three-day program that combines concert performances with a series of music clinics offering master-class instruction and critiques for music students. Garzone and Hall will join professional jazz artists who hold full-time and adjunct faculty positions in the WCSU music department to conduct performance clinics during the festival.
For more information, contact Department of Music Chair Jamie Begian at (203) 837-8637 or firstname.lastname@example.com, or the Office of University Relations at (203) 837-8486.
Western Connecticut State University offers outstanding faculty in a range of quality academic programs. Our diverse university community provides students an enriching and supportive environment that takes advantage of the unique cultural offerings of Western Connecticut and New York. Our vision: To be an affordable public university with the characteristics of New England's best small private universities.

Pawel Althamer's "FGF, Warsaw" at London's Tate Modern Museum is part art installation, part pop-up gallery. The self contained unit unfolds out of a simple transit crate, creating a venue for art works just about anywhere. The mobile space can double as a living space with dining area, living space and tented outdoor area.
Althamer's piece is not only a work of his own, but also a collaboration with other artists. Representing the artist's gallery in Warsaw, Foksal Gallery Foundation, the crate opens up into a miniature version of its parent space. Being a mobile art gallery, the artist has asked fellow artists to create pieces for the site. A painting by Wilhelm Sasnal hangs above, and doubles as a ceiling space. A video by Artur Zmijewski plays in the central room, and a Monika Sosnowska designed door handle opens into the space.
Like an Airstream Trailer, a booth style seat and table looks out over a round cornered prefab window. A bookshelf decked with periodicals, lamp and carpet flank the sitting room, while a mirror and sink accompany the painting and video installation. The yellow striped pop-up tented gazebo welcomes a possible outside space.
Easy to install, the piece is also just as easy to fold up, locking together to form a perfect cube. Made from durable wood, the pieces retract and link together, forming an entirely self contained gallery space.
Althamer's portable gallery may be an art installation in itself, but has practical uses for artists in the world of high gallery rents.

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

Sep 01, 2013
By Dylan Vazzano, TTU Sports Information Coordinator
NEWPORT, Ky. - Tech's first true road match of the 2013 campaign went down to the wire, but a late Northern Kentucky goal spoiled the Golden Eagles' bid at their first victory of the season. Scoreless through 83 minutes of action, Norse senior Allison Ponzer found the back of the net in the 84th minute to send Tech (0-4-0) to the eventual 1-0 defeat.
Fellow NKU (1-2-1) senior Megan Frye set up the winning score thanks to a beautiful cross in the waning moments of the intense affair, giving Frye the contest's lone assist of the match. Ponzer took care of the rest with her first goal of the young season, tapping it past the try of Golden Eagle goalkeeper Jordan Brown.
Despite allowing the winner, Brown came up big once again for Tech. The sophomore from League City, Texas eclipsed double-digit saves for the second time in four tilts this year, recording 10 stops to give her an impressive 37 on the season.
Brown was tested throughout the course of the second stanza, as Northern Kentucky fired 16 shots in the final 45 minutes, outshooting Tech 16-1 during the half. The Golden Eagles won the first period shooting battle, 9-8.
Across the pitch, NKU sophomore keeper Tanner Ruberg made two halts in her shutout effort, but was also aided by an additional three team saves.
Tech senior forward Ellie Iaciofano led the Golden Eagles with three total shots, two of which were on-goal, while the Norse's Casey McMillian earned the match-high with seven shots and four shots-on-goal.
Tech will remain on the road for its next affair, traveling to the University of Findlay on Friday, Sep. 6. The match will mark the first of the year for the Oilers, with action slated to begin at 4 p.m. CDT.

"Survivor: Fiji" (KRQE-13 7 p.m.) Forget last season's short-lived race war. This season gets down to the real nitty gritty: full-blown class warfare. Seems that teams will now be split between the winners (living in a luxurious, amenity-filled beachside resort) and the losers (huddling in caves).
"Crank Yankers" (MTV2 ?) When last we left "Crank Yankers" and its celeb-voiced, puppet-portrayed cast of prank phone callers they were over on Comedy Central. For the fourth season, the show has migrated over to prestigious wasteland of MTV2. At least regular castmembers like Jim Florentine and Sarah SIlverman are still in tow.
Pumpkinhead: Blood Feud (Sci-Fi 7 p.m.) Here's a late-'80s horror movie flashback for you. Technically, this is the fourth Pumpkinhead movie. (Maybe you missed the direct-to-video sequels Blood Wings and Ashes to Ashes.) This new one is from the director of Mansquito. Hey, Lance Henricksen has got to eat too, you know.
"Winnie the Pooh: A Valentine for You" (KOAT-7 7:30 p.m.) In this new holiday cartoon, the animals of the Hundred Acre Wood are concerned when Christopher Robin sends a Valentine to a girl. ... Listen up, Winnie, Tigger, you too Eeyore: There comes a time when a boy has to stop playing with his Pooh and grow up. It's called puberty and you'd better get used to it.
"The 49th Annual Grammy Awards" (KRQE-13 7 p.m.) The usual suspects (Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, The Dixie Chicks, Christina Aguilera) will all be there. At least we get to see The Police reunite. Add to that Prince's recent appearance at the Super Bowl, and it's like 1984 all over again.
"Masterpiece Theater: Dracula" (KNME-5 9 p.m.) Marc Warren ("Band of Brothers") and Sophia Myles (Art School Confidential) stars in this dark and sexy adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic gothic horror tale. Of course, it's PBS, so it's not that sexy.
"The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show" (USA 7 p.m.) Can you believe this is the 131st annual WKC Dog Show? That's 917 in dog years!
"Fashion Police: The 2007 Grammy Awards" (E! 7 p.m.) The Academy Awards have gotten too dignified and fashion-conscious to properly insult. The Grammys, however, are full of nutty, possibly strung-out rock stars. Hopefully, there will be plenty of fashion disasters to gossip about this year.
"Jericho: Return to Jericho" (KRQE-13 7 p.m.) Missed the first 11 episodes of CBS' post-nuke drama? No problem. Here's a one-hour recap to get you up to speed.
"The St. Valentine's Day Massacre" (History 7 p.m.) Here are three things you can bet on for Valentine's Day: Whitman's will sell a whole lot of chocolate hearts; the flower store will be out of roses; History Channel will rerun this documentary about the notorious 1927 Mob massacre in Chicago for the umpteeth time.

Every time I do a web project, I always find myself reinventing the wheel when it comes to handling caching of web content. Sometimes, I try to do it by version number by adding a ?v=01.04.23, but then a release fails because somebody forgot to update it. Or I try to do it by date ?v=20120101, figuring that downloading once a day isn't too bad and it ensures that the customers see any changes (if rollouts are at night), but then development is a pain and your servers are still hit hard every morning.
What if there was some way to uniquely identify any file in 8 bytes, so that we could only download it again if it actually changed? Well, PKZIP has been doing this for decades, by calculating a CRC32 string for each file in the .zip archive. And I figured that PKZIP and its variants can zip a lot of files really fast, which means calculating a CRC32 must be pretty quick.
If you are not familiar with using false querystrings to version web content, look here for a quick introduction.
If you are not familiar with CRC32, you can read up on it here.
Because CRC32 is a small hash of the file in question, adding or removing even a single byte will change the CRC hash. Which means that this method is 100% reliable to download when the file is changed and not download when the file is the same and cached. While this may not be the fastest method of all time (although it's really fast), it is foolproof because there is no way that anyone can defeat it by forgetting a version number. And files using this method will stay cached, even for years, until the file changes in which case all your users will immediately get the new file.
So how do we use this magical new method? Just add a , true to your Url.Content calls. (You are using Url.Content to add your .js and .css files to your MVC projects, right?)
, true
So, <%=Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyScript.js")%> becomes <%=Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyScript.js", true)%> and in Razor, @Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyScript.js") becomes @Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyScript.js", true). That's it!
<%=Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyScript.js", true)%>
@Url.Content("~/Scripts/MyScript.js", true)
Now, instead of http://www.example.com/Scripts/MyScript.js, your file will be downloaded as http://www.example.com/Scripts/MyScript.js?crc=2D1BA10F.
So, first, let's look at the code in question:
using System.IO;
using System.Web;
namespace WebCRC
public static class CRC
public static string Content(this System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper Url, string Path, bool CRC)
if (!CRC)
return Url.Content(Path);
string serverPath = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(Path);
byte[] fileContents = File.ReadAllBytes(serverPath);
string result = CRC32.Compute(fileContents).ToString("X");
return Url.Content(Path) + "?crc=" + result;
this System.Web.Mvc.UrlHelper Url
So what are the steps for using this feature? It couldn't be easier.
<%@Import Namespace="WebCRC" %>
@using WebCRC
It's that simple!
No, not really. You see, since your web server is already serving these files all the time, they are already cached in memory anyway. And the CRC algorithm has been around for a long time and is very fast on modern computers. This process takes only 2ms (per file reference) on my desktop machine, and probably only 1ms on a decent server. And since most pages take at least 1.5s (1500ms) to render, we can afford 10-20ms on a page to ensure that we don't spend another couple hundred ms downloading stuff too often or support calls telling the user to clear their cache because we forgot something and the page isn't working.
No, because a file that would generate the same hash as a JavaScript file wouldn't look like JavaScript at all (it would look like binary trash). And it certainly wouldn't look like the same file with one new function added.
No. You could use it for any type of file that you like, such as images. But I would test it if you are using it on files that are large because it might start to become heavy if the files are larger.
Of course. As long as the same minifier is used and gives the same minified result each time a rollout is done, the CRC will calculate the same checksum each time. And if the file changes, the minified version must be different as well, so it will get a new CRC.
Gzip is handled by the server AFTER the page is rendered, so it has no effect on this process.

SEBASTOPOL (CBS SF) – On Tuesday, Sebastopol became the second city in California to require all newly-constructed residences and commercial buildings to carry a photovoltaic energy system.
The ordinance will require all new units – and buildings which undergo major upgrades – to produce enough energy to offset 75 percent of the building's energy load, according to the Santa Rosa Press Democrat.
The measure will not apply to development plans already on file with the city, and residents who live in shaded or otherwise impractical areas may implement alternative energy creation methods, or pay a fee.
"This ordinance is not only cost-saving … it's the responsible thing to do," said Councilman Robert Jacob.
Councilmembers told the Press Democrat that the plan met with little opposition from the community, which has a history of embracing alternative energy.
Lancaster in Los Angeles County was the first community in the state to adopt such a measure.

Alumni cyclists, from left, Walt McConnell '53, Kyle Rosendale '07, Frank Arentowicz '69, Jay Kosa '07, and Pat O'Malley '07 Saturday at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium.
Bucknell-Penn Alumni Bike Race Home Page
By Sam Alcorn
LEWISBURG, Pa. -- Three generations of Bucknell alumni were lauded Sept. 29 at Christy Mathewson-Memorial Stadium, having exceeded their goal of raising $1 million for scholarships for Bucknell students by cycling coast to coast.
The intrepid cyclists -- Walter McConnell '53, Frank Arentowicz '69, Pat O'Malley '07, Kyle Rosendale '07, and Jay Kosa '07 -- completed their 19-day, 3,050-mile trek Thursday, arriving in Atlantic City, N.J., before sunset for a quick dip in the Atlantic Ocean.
It is said to be the first such effort by alumni to raise scholarship money.
$1,168,514 raised
The five Bucknell cyclists -- part of the Bucknell-Penn Alumni Bike Race Across America -- were honored prior to the start of the Bucknell-Marist football game. At midfield, accompanied by Bucknell cheerleaders, they presented a check in the amount of $1,168,514 to Laura Denbow, executive director of Alumni Relations and Career Services at Bucknell.
Then, led by team leader Arentowicz, the cyclists presented the game official with the game ball. The stadium crowd cheered.
"We made it!" was how Arentowicz, a Bucknell Board of Trustee member, began the last entry in the personal online blog he updated during the course of the journey that started in Santa Monica, Calif., on Sept. 9. "For the Bucknell riders, I think today will be remembered as our most special day."
60th birthday
En route, Arentowicz celebrated his 60th birthday.
McConnell, who will turn 76 this month, reported in his personal blog on the final leg of the journey: "I led us single file to the ocean where they met us for the finale, many photos and then a mad dash to jump into the Atlantic … I also brought my bike to the beach and held it over my head standing in the ocean. We had done it! Ocean to ocean and ONE MILLION PLUS (dollars) for Bucknell!"
Arentowicz and McConnell completed at least two 100-plus mile rides during the course of the trip that took them through 14 states, including Thursday's last leg into Atlantic City. Appropriately, all five Bucknellians pedaled the last 10 miles together, having experienced one of the most grueling cross-country cycling routes with more than 100,000 feet of thigh-burning climbing elevation.
"Not only had we done it, we were now three generations of Bucknellians bonded forever by what we had done together -- three fantastic young graduates Jay, Pat and Kyle, 'middle age' Frank, and one old geezer. What a thrill that words can hardly describe," wrote McConnell. "We had covered over 3,000 miles and marveled daily at the expanse, beauty, and diversity of our country and friendliness of our people. We are truly blessed."

(define-parameter id initial-value guard-proc with-form-id)
Convenience form that expands into two definitions:
id is bound to a parameter with the supplied initial-value and guard-proc;
with-form-id is bound to a syntax of the form:
(with-form-id expr

Hey troll. If you want to argue about politics we can do so on the politics forum. I only made a PS about Sanders and Corbyn because PFP raised it, so if you got a complaint, raise it to him through a private message.
The reason why we don't see a lot of new posters on this site is because they're afraid to get trolled by people like you. Could you please stop. You're wrecking it for everyone.
nrf . i read one of your posts about your son . my son is a C4/C5 . Asis A . and by coincidence he also was injured at the age of 14· He is now applying to law school . snd is learning how to drive· we live in metro new york area. Anyway . i thought it was great to hear of another brave trailbazer.
In life there must be balance, unions-corporations-government regulations-employers-employees-sales-accounting-logistics-FAMILY etc etc etc. If one is not functioning properly they all are affected. If one has too much power the balance is broken. In America today all are sick and our best first step is a careful triage of where to start.
i do applaud the Mexican invasion - for my reason though. If my boss told me he hired two new people a Mexican and a American with a college degree, then I would request the Mexican on my crew.
Your posts reminds of when I used to get linemen (boomers) out of the union hall. Once in a while I'd get a good one, but lots of them were totally incompetent losers. But I still think we are better off with unions than without them.
Hello nrf.

Thanks. I've been looking for info on MPD all over the internet but can't find anything really, nothing beyond what I already know about the controls anyway. Hell, it was easier when my brother installed a set for me that I bought off eBay.

ASCO Annual Meeting
June 1, 2014
Results from a large study show that the combination of lapatinib (Tykerb) and trastuzumab (Herceptin) plus chemotherapy after surgery is not more effective than only trastuzumab plus chemotherapy for women with early-stage, human epidermal receptor 2 (HER2)-positive breast cancer. HER2 is a specialized protein found on the surface of breast cells that can contribute to cancer growth. Both lapatinib and trastuzumab are targeted therapies, which are treatments that target the cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. In this case, both drugs target HER2, but in different ways.
Treatment with trastuzumab and chemotherapy after surgery lowers the risk of the cancer returning for women with HER2-positive, early-stage breast cancer. However, about 20% of patients have the cancer come back within 10 years, often having spread to other parts of the body. Previous research suggested that adding lapatinib to trastuzumab might provide an additional benefit over trastuzumab by itself.
For this study, 8,381 women with newly diagnosed, early-stage, HER2-positive breast cancer who already had surgery received one of the following treatment options: lapatinib plus trastuzumab given at the same time, trastuzumab followed by lapatinib, or trastuzumab by itself. The majority received these treatments after chemotherapy, although many received chemotherapy that overlapped with the HER2-targeted therapy.
After four years, the percentage of women alive with no signs of cancer was similar regardless of the treatment received. For women who received lapatinib and trastuzumab together, 88% were alive and had no signs of recurrent cancer after four years. For those who received trastuzumab followed by lapatinib, 87% were alive and had no signs of recurrent cancer after four years. And, 86% of women who received only trastuzumab were alive and had no signs of recurrent cancer after four years. Researchers also found that the combination of lapatinib and trastuzumab was linked with more side effects, especially diarrhea, rash, and liver problems.
What this means for patients
"We were encouraged to see that patients with HER2-positive, early-stage breast cancer are doing rather well with standard trastuzumab therapy," said senior study author Edith Perez, MD, Deputy Director at Large at the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center in Jacksonville, FL. "But we were surprised that adding lapatinib did not provide further benefit, since the combination of these drugs was promising when given prior to surgery in a smaller study."
Questions to ask your doctor
- What type and stage of breast cancer do I have?
- Is it HER2-positive? What does this mean?
- What are my treatment options?
- Will HER-2 targeted therapy be a part of my treatment?
- What are the side effects of each treatment, and how can they be managed?

I have a lump on one of my testicles. What should I do?
You should tell your mom or dad about any lumps or swelling in your testicles. You will need to visit the doctor. The doctor will have to examine your testicles and feel for the lumps. It shouldn't hurt and it's the best way for the doctor to check it out.
Lumps in the testicles could be many things. Some are perfectly normal. For example, you may be feeling the epididymis, the tightly coiled tube where sperm are stored. Other lumps may be signs of a problem that won't go away on its own, so tell your mom or dad and then see the doctor.

Every once in a while the coaches like to throw in a lighter session for the players, and during those sessions there is no activity more popular than soccer tennis.
Now for those of you that have never played soccer tennis, it is not as easy as it looks. There are players that really fancy themselves (like goalkeeper coach Marius Rovde), but in this game the cream always rises to the top.
On this day, 'Caps assistant coach Carl Robinson picked the teams, and there were some interesting combinations. The competition was fierce, there was trash talking throughout, and there even of cheating going on.
In the end, "Team Europe" were the winners with Alain Rochat, Andy Obrien, and Kenny Miller having taking home bragging rights. Well, until next time anyway.

After the Versace name was consistently shouted out in rap tracks such as "Big Poppa" and "Hypnotize," Interview Magazine reveals a conversation between Nicki Minaj and luxurious fashion designer Donatella Versace, which showcases the designer's feelings for Notorious B.I.G. The late, great Brooklyn rapper was well-known for wearing her family's clothing, as well as cementing their brand awareness among young, urban consumers.
"I think Biggie was amazing," Versace said. "He came to my shows in Paris many times, and we'd see each other often. He always used to talk so nicely about my family. I think he was so smart, so intelligent."
"He had such a mind. So I loved what he was doing and how he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think he was giving people a way to know about Versace—I do think a lot of people started to know about Versace because of him."

Earlier this morning Barons Blog posted a story referencing some research by independent equity research firm, BlueFin Research Partners. The news is positive for BlackBerry.
As reported by Barons, BlueFin says it "appears that management is confident that the BlackBerry 10 launches will be an unqualified success" based on supply chain checks. Apparently there has been a "significant surge in orders in the past 30 days" according to their analyst, Paul Peterson.
BlueFin also wrote, "Our checks indicate that some suppliers are seeing 6-month order coverage that is several orders of magnitude larger than the previous 6 months, with some suppliers believing that they can get back to 2011 revenue levels if the present forecast levels hold up."
I don't know the folks at BlueFin personally, but I do know they have a pretty decent reputation for doing these kinds of supply chain checks. Essentially, the analyst has to form close relationships with suppliers to find out what's happening. It's a huge grey zone, but analysts can often learn about big changes in order patterns by talking to a collection of people who all know something that they (and you and I) don't know.
Stack together a bunch of independent and small pieces of supply chain information and you just might, through mosaic theory, discover that something big is happening. Without having read the BlueFin report, that's what is sounds like they are saying.
Personally, I'm not surprised. Over the last few weeks I've talked to a number of people who all believe that BlackBerry saw stronger sales than they expected, and had to increase build numbers for the BlackBerry Z10.
That said, BlueFin is also providing some quantitative context. If some suppliers believe that BlackBerry can get back to 2011 levels we're talking a serious improvement in market share for the new platform.
Is the information accurate? Probably more accurate than listening to BlackBerry executives who are always more likely to speak in an upbeat manner.
Whatever you think of the data, it's certainly nice to see some independent analysis that supports, with some data, what BlackBerry management has been saying about the Z10 launch.

Pokemon is the wildly popular Japanese Nintendo video game, first released in 1996. Its goal is to collect wild creatures and battle other trainers to become the Pokemon master. Simple enough, right?
Now imagine trying to play the game with tens of thousands of people looking over your shoulder, telling you which buttons to press. That's the latest social experiment going on in the gaming community. At any given time, thousands of people are controlling a single game of Pokemon Red — the original game of the series — at the same time.
And so far, it's going ... OK.
"A lot of the time, the game is just saving itself over and over again, or the character gets stuck in the corner and just runs into walls repeatedly," says Andrew Cunningham, who's been writing about the experiment for technology news site Ars Technica.
The game has been live streaming on the video platform Twitch for almost a week, uploaded by the anonymous account named Twitch Plays Pokemon. Viewers can type commands like "left" or "right" to control the game character in the Twitch chat window.
Cunningham has been watching his screen for a few days now, and he's not alone. The game has had more than 15 million viewers in the past week and about 650,000 participants. At its peak, more than 120,000 people viewed or interacted with the game, Twitch says.
The experiment is something that Matthew DiPietro, Twitch's vice president of marketing, has never seen before on this scale. The multiplayer control causes the character's behavior to be a bit manic at times, but impressively, Twitch users have managed to progress through half the game.
"The community is rallying together and getting this character through the game, which to my mind is really interesting," DiPietro says. "It means when people come together to do something, always it's chaotic but there's always a goal in mind — which you're all moving toward at the same time."
But not everyone is rallied around the same strategy. The users have complete authority over how the game gets played, with no involvement from the account owner or Twitch. They even have control over how the commands that they enter are applied — either by majority vote, democracy, or all at once ... anarchy.
"It's kind of a continuous battle between the people who are trying to play the game as it's intended and the trolls who are intentionally trying to derail it," Cunningham says. "Every once in a while, the trolls win."
Hence, the running into walls.
Cunningham says he's not sure when the game will end. It might take a few more weeks, once the popularity dies down.
"It's kind of been a victim of its own success at this point," he says. "As word has spread, over the last few days, it's harder and harder for everybody to row in the same direction at the same time."
You can watch the game below, track its progress, follow it on Twitter and Reddit or even join in. It'll be up to the masses to decide which side wins: the Pokemon master or the trolls.
This is Pokemon, a popular Nintendo video game that was first released in 1996. The goal of the game is to collect and train wild creatures called Pokemon and to battle other trainers to become the Pokemon master.
Now, the game is bringing people from all over the world together in a social experiment on a gaming website. Andrew Cunningham, a writer for the technology site Ars Technica, explains it this way.
ANDREW CUNNINGHAM: Basically, somebody has set up a game of Pokemon Red, which is the original Pokemon game from the mid-'90s, and they've configured it so that the chat window can feed that game commands.
SIEGEL: So typing a word - up, down, left, or right - will move the game's character on the screen. It sounds simple, but when many people are typing commands all at once, the character gets confused.
CORNISH: Especially when up to 120,000 people are involved.
CUNNINGHAM: A lot of the time, the game is just saving itself over and over again, or the character gets stuck in the corner and just runs into walls repeatedly.
CORNISH: The game's character may be moving slowly, but Matthew DiPietro says this experiment is extraordinary. He's with Twitch, the website streaming the massive Pokemon game.
MATTHEW DIPIETRO: This is the first time that we've ever seen such a thing where thousands and thousands and thousands of people are controlling a single player in a single turn-based game and making progress through that game. And it's really interesting to watch.
SIEGEL: Since last Friday, when the game started, it's had more than 14 million views and almost half a million total participants. And DiPietro says the Pokemon trainer is only at the halfway mark.
DIPIETRO: But the community is definitely rallying together and getting this character through the game, which, to my mind, is really, really interesting. It means when people come together to do something, you know, always it's chaotic but there's always a goal in mind, which, you know, you're all moving toward at the same time.
SIEGEL: Still, at this rate, it could take weeks before the Pokemon trainer reaches the goal of becoming the Pokemon master.
JASON PAIGE: (Singing) I want to be the very best, like no one ever was. To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause. I will travel across the land, searching far and wide.

A second theater has been added for the special May 19 screening of "The Empire Strikes Back" at the ArcLight Hollywood — and it will have a simulcast of the Q&A with Harrison Ford from the neighboring theater.
Tickets have just gone on sale for the second theater and cost $75. Seats in the main theater went for $175 and $100 and sold out instantly — those prices sounded plenty reasonable to "Star Wars" fans considering the good cause and the fact that Ford rarely does any events linked to the universe of Jedi knights, droids and wookiees.
The event will benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and is part of yearlong charity initiative called "The Empire Gives Back," a campaign by Lucasfilm to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the most celebrated "Star Wars" sequel.
I'll be the one handling the Q&A on stage and if any of you have some suggested questions you'd like to me to ask, post them in the comments section.

International Students Learn Job-Seeking Skills
By Erika Vichcales | Published
With Michigan Technological University's Career Fair just around the corner, many students are looking for resources to prepare themselves for potential job, co-op and internship opportunities. Landing a job can be particularly difficult for international students who are not familiar with American employers' expectations.
Recently, international students from Michigan Technological University, Finlandia University and Northern Michigan University got the chance to polish their job-seeking skills at the Michigan's Global Future Conference, sponsored by the Global Talent Retention Initiative of Michigan and by Michigan Tech's International Programs and Services and Career Services.
"The goal of this conference was to provide specialized sessions to help international students prepare for their US job search, connect them to international student-friendly employers in Michigan and encourage them to choose Michigan as their internship and post-graduation destination," said Darnisha Slade, assistant director of International Programs and Services.
The conference offered the students information on making their resumes stand out from the crowd, interviewing skills, searching for a job, practical training beyond their academic work, starting a business and selling themselves to employers. They also had an opportunity to network with business representatives and other professionals who attended the event.
The international students were particularly pleased with the employer panel, the tips and tricks on writing cover letters and resumes, and the opportunity to network with employers.
"The interactive session with the attorney for visa-related issues was the most beneficial session for me," said Candrika Abhang, a graduate student from India studying for her master's degree in mechanical engineering. "Normally we never get entire legal details of visa procedures from our peers, but this discussion gave us a detailed overview on types of visas, duration for its application, all the necessary documentation and legal procedures. It was indeed informative."
Many students were also impressed to learn what a great support system there is for international students and what resources are available for students in the international community.
"I never knew such a community exclusively built for international students has been initiated, and this was pleasantly surprising to know. It is a great platform for all of us to connect and look for jobs through GO (Global Opportunity) employers," said Abhang.
Michigan Technological University is a public research university, home to more than 7,000 students from 54 countries. Founded in 1885, the University offers more than 120 undergraduate and graduate degree programs in science and technology, engineering, forestry, business and economics, health professions, humanities, mathematics, and social sciences. Our campus in Michigan's Upper Peninsula overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway and is just a few miles from Lake Superior.

There's really been nothing like Trapped in the Closet ever before.
R&B star R. Kelly has been making (and remaking) a series of short music videos that tell a flamboyant narrative in less-than-five-minute installments. The first batch of several dozen appeared online in 2005. Now, there's a total of 40 "chapters" that aired last Friday on IFC, with the latest ones being released online one at a time for the next week.
"He's really an experimentalist and a kind of innovator," says Jason King, a professor of recorded music at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. King describes Kelly, who's been nominated for 23 Grammys and sold almost 40 million albums, as one of the most important figures in R&B over the past quarter century. With Trapped in the Closet, he says, Kelly has synthesized a variety of genres, starting with soap operas.
"Also with ... traditional operas, which are extraordinarily melodramatic themselves, with the cliffhangers, with the telenovelas, with chitlin' circuit black theater. He takes all these aesthetics and puts them together in this series."
It's impossible to coherently explain the plot of Trapped in the Closet. Suffice it to say, a one-night stand opens up a risque world heaving with camp excess and almost 30 characters, ranging from a little person who's a stripper to a supposedly heterosexual pastor involved secretly with a man.
"R. Kelly's always been fascinated by the down low," King observes, pointing to an early Kelly song.
But an R. Kelly narrative driven by sexual secrets is a turnoff to Paul Resnikoff. The publisher of Digital Music News remembers the highly public allegations that led to multiple counts of child pornography being filed against Kelly about 10 years ago. The singer was accused of making a demeaning sex tape with an underage girl.
"I really don't understand how certain personalities and superstars tend to move beyond the most lurid and horrific aspects of their past," Resnikoff says.
Kelly was acquitted of all charges.
King says the singer is using Trapped in the Closet to create a counternarrative that brings aberrant sexuality into the open.
"So R. Kelly is seen as a sort of veiled, duplicitous figure by some," King says, "and by others, this really cunning strategist who manages to synthesize all of these issues in pop culture and put them into his videos."
R. Kelly's fans would love to see Trapped in the Closet as a redemption narrative. Sawyer Carter Jacobs, 26, is a law student who's followed the series since he was a freshman in college. He sees Kelly consistently delivering powerful moral messages amid the rococo romping of cops, drug runners, pastors and pimps.
"Keeping religion in your family," Jacobs offers as one example. "And keeping a strong bond between you and your wife, the relationship you can have with your [ex-convict] brother-in-law."
Part of what hooked Jacobs about Trapped in the Closet is not what it is, but what it isn't. It's not a TV show or a movie or a record.
"It just ... is," he says, adding that in some ways, the series is perfect for a generation that lacks allegiance to any single way of consuming music or TV. "This exists across all planes and really can be seen or told anywhere."
Perhaps soon on Broadway: R. Kelly has expressed interest in turning the spectacle into a live musical. And he plans to produce at least 85 more episodes.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel. There's nothing quite like "Trapped In The Closet." R&B star R. Kelly calls it his hip-hopera, which is a lot catchier than saying it's a string of over-the-top music videos that tell a complicated steamy story. Fans have been waiting five years for new installments that are finally rolling out now online. Last week, the Independent Film Channel, IFC, showed the entire series of 40 videos.
NPR's Neda Ulaby reports on this huge project from one of the world's most successful musicians.
NEDA ULABY, BYLINE: Most of these videos are barely five minutes, but the storyline they follow is more complicated than 10 seasons of "General Hospital." A one-night stand opens up a risque world of broken marriages, baroque betrayals and a mysterious epidemic. "Trapped In The Closet" burst from the brain of 23-time Grammy nominee R. Kelly. Since the 1990s, he's sold almost 40 million albums of up-tempo urban club jams and burnished power pop ballads.
R. KELLY: (Singing) I believe I can fly. I believe I can touch the sky.
ULABY: Jason King is a music professor at New York University, effusive about R. Kelly's gifts.
JASON KING: His musical brilliance, his talent, his genius.
ULABY: King describes Kelly as one of the most important figures in R&B over the past 25 years. So why would Kelly dedicate so much time, money and creative energy into dozens of salacious little videos?
KING: He's really an experimentalist and a kind of innovator.
KELLY: (Singing) Now, the midget begins to wake up 'cause he's fainted from all the madness. See three guns pointed around the room, he stands and says, I have nothing to do with this.
ULABY: "Trapped In The Closet" features almost 30 characters who lip-synch as R. Kelly sings. Some are played by actors, a few by R. Kelly and they range from a little person who works as a male stripper to a pimp pretending to find God.
KELLY: (Singing) And he stopped dead in his tracks and looked at young Bishop Craig and said, shh, shh, shh, shh. Now, just shh.
ULABY: Jason King says just as R. Kelly fused R&B and hip-hop in the 1990s, he's synthesizing visual aesthetics and genres.
KING: With soap opera, also with traditional operas which are extraordinarily melodramatic, with the cliffhangers, with the telenovelas, with chitlin' circuit black theater.
KELLY: (Singing) 7:00 in the morning and rays from the sun wakes me...
ULABY: The series found a fan following that crosses genres, says Paul Resnikoff. He publishes Digital Music News. But he's turned off by R. Kelly. About 10 years ago, the singer faced multiple counts of child pornography. He was accused of making a demeaning sex tape with an underage girl.
PAUL RESNIKOFF: I really don't understand how certain personalities and superstars tend to move beyond the most lurid and horrific aspects of their past.
ULABY: Kelly was acquitted of all legal charges. Music professor Jason King points out that "Trapped In The Closet's" narrative is driven by sexual secrets.
KING: R. Kelly's always been fascinated with issues of the down low and the DL.
ULABY: Like with Chuck, one of the main characters. He's a pastor married to a woman, but secretly involved with a male deacon.
KELLY: (Singing) He was on the phone talking to a man. What's wrong with being on the phone talking to a man?
KING: So R. Kelly is seen as a sort of veiled, duplicitous figure by some and by others, this really cunning strategist who manages to synthesize all these issues in pop culture and put them into his videos.
ULABY: R. Kelly's fans would love to see "Trapped In The Closet" as a redemption narrative for a black man accused of sexual immorality.
KELLY: (Singing) Well, if this hasn't taught you nothing else, it's taught you that everybody's got a closet and their own problems that need solving.
ULABY: Twenty-six year old Sawyer Carter Jacobs has followed the series since 2005 when the first episodes appeared online. He sees powerful moral messages amidst the camp excess.
SAWYER CARTER JACOBS: Keeping religion in your family and, you know, keeping a strong bond between you and your wife and the relationship you can have with your brother-in-law.
ULABY: Who just got out of prison. Part of what hooked Jacobs to "Trapped In The Closet" is, well, what it isn't.
JACOBS: This isn't a movie. It's not a TV show. It's not a record. These aren't songs. There's no singles. There's no hooks. There's no chorus. You know, it just is.
ULABY: Which may make "Trapped In The Closet" perfect for a generation that does not necessarily feel allegiance to any one way of consuming music or TV.
JACOBS: This exists across all planes and really can be seen or told anywhere.
ULABY: Possibly Broadway. R. Kelly's talking about turning the spectacle into a musical and he plans, he says, to produce at least 85 more episodes. Neda Ulaby, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
