It is shown that neural network reliability growth models have a significant advantage over analytic models in that they require only failure history as input and not assumptions about either the development environment or external parameters. Using the failure history, the neural-network model automatically develops its own internal model of the failure process and predicts future failures. Because it adjusts model complexity to match the complexity of the failure history, it can be more accurate than some commonly used analytic models. Results with actual testing and debugging data which suggest that neural-network models are better at endpoint predictions than analytic models are presented.

Let's be frank. The Harley Davidson logo trademark tattoo to my left is actually pretty sweet. Many bikers or enthusiasts would be happy to rock such a respected brand on their body, especially if they're getting paid for it.
The Harley Davidson logo trademark tattoo could likely be considered the "BEST" case scenerio when it comes to a branding, logo, or an advertising tattoo.
There are many more unfortunate designs that have made a permanent mark on a body, once wearers signed the paperwork, and got the tattoo in lieu of cash.
Corporations not only offer pay to random people, some will throw in pay raises of perhaps 15% to any employee willing to ink their employers name or logo on the body.
What's the point of logo trademark and advertising tattoos, and should you do it?
If you've been asked to sport a logo or advertising tattoo, the first thing you should consider is whether the art is temporary or permanent. Websites such as LeaseYourBody help connect participants with temporary logo tattoos in lieu of compensation.
Temporary tattoos are usually placed on prominent spots of the body- such as the face. Lease "rent" for this form of body advertising can be worth thousands of dollars and certainly something to consider if you're easy-going, not working in the public sector, and strapped for cash.
The other option is permanent tattoos. These designs are worth much more because you will be left with the logo long after you rolled off the Harley Davidson lot on your new set of wheels-which is fine if you stay true to your biker roots. But not so much if the design is across your forehead, hindering career potential or causing potential regret.
If you plan on participating as a walking, living and breathing billboard; you should consider your affiliation to the company, and whether you have loyalty enough to wear body art expressing your support to the world. For a lifetime.
Why are companies branding employees and participants?
Call it shock value, companies are reaching out and requesting trademark tattoos because it turns heads and causes a public stir of interest, especially when there is a large payment behind the commitment. There's so many things to discuss about the process- from the competitive change in advertising, societal views on body art, and then of course the extremes some people will go to just to make a buck. This buzz becomes publicity, and is worth the amount most corporations pay their participants to wear a trademark tattoo.
If you're seriously considering inking a brand, make sure it's worth the quick cash. Laser tattoo removal is an expensive and painful process. However, if you're loyal, and a brand you already love approaches you (and you happen to be in the market for a forehead tattoo) the cash is a bonus. So...Ride or Die I suppose.

I have a lot on my mind. Just got home from several trips to Houston taking equipment to help with clean up after putting countless hours in during the hurricane getting trees off powerlines so people would have power or get it back. I am getting a lot of questions about the showdown. Everyone is wanting an immediate answer and with no real time to discuss things It has been removed from the schedule. I have been told there will be no more races until further notice. I appreciate everything and everyone that tried to make it a success. I, like everyone was hoping for more time.

Toddlers and toy guns
Did you/will you let your toddler play with toy guns? If not, at what age do you think it would be appropriate?
My girls do not have guns, but that's just because they've never boughten one or wanted one. As my dh is very big into shooting and there are guns in the house (locked up tight w/o ammo) we already discuss guns and guns and how they are never to be pointed at ppl. They do build the occasionally lego gun for "shooting animals to eat" (ie. hunting). If they wanted a toy gun, yes I'd let them buy one and play w/ it, but the rules would be the same as they are for the occasional lego gun: No shooting at ppl, even if it isn't real. You can pretend to shoot bears or deer, but no ppl or our pets. My kids are 3 and 4 btw.
Totally agree. Guns should never be taboo IMO. Our guns are locked up, but my dh does occasionally carry (he has a license to carry concealed) and our kids have been around the guns. They see them somewhat regularly as dh gets into the safe w/ them present or has his hand gun on. There is no way our kids can get access to a gun w/o us (they're in safes w/ key pad codes to punch in), but our kids also know for a fact that if they want to see a gun all they have to do is ask. We will always show them if they are curious and wondering. There is no need for them to sneak it even if they could. Guns are not taboo, and as of right now, our kids have never shown any sort of issue w/ wanting to handle them. They both know they aren't toys. They both know they can kill and what death is (there have been a couple family members who have died that they can remember). They know they aren't to ever play w/ a gun if they came across it because it could hurt them/others badly, but they also don't have any wonderment about them that they would feel a need to handle it because they're not taboo -they've seen them many times and they're just not a big deal.
Quoting MonicaV1982:
I totally agree! My husband is a gun enthusiast and will be teaching our daughter, due in April, to shoot. I think it stems from fear and laziness. And frankly making it taboo makes kids more curious.Quoting BEXi:
It's called education. I'm the youngest of six kids. My dad had a loaded .42 magnum strapped to the back of his nightstand and we all knew it. We all knew how to load and shoot a gun before we were 5 years old. We were taught gun safety, what real guns are REALLY for and how much damage they can do. We learned from the JUMP they are not toys. I guarantee the majority of children shooting people because they found mommy or daddys gun is because their parents HID the gun, made it taboo, and didnt bother teaching their child how guns work, what theyre for and what they can do.
Did I mentioned my oldest sister is mentally handicapped and she was able to process NOT to touch the gun. It's not that hard, most parents dont even want to try. And I totally suggest doing gun safety with your children even if you DONT have guns in the house.Quoting DAHLONEGAMOMMY:
I am glad that worked with your family. I however, am not going to take that risk. I have had my father and my ex also teach my children gun safety and gun respect but at an age when it can be thoroughly understood. I personally dont think guns are toys and when they are, it loses the respect one is supposed to have for firearms. My fiance is a cop, or was a career cop, and we discussed this very topic. Kids kill every year because they use weapons they do not have the maturity to understand. THey always tell you that they thought so and so would get up just like every time they played. Here is the deal though. Its great that the boys in your family were taught to respect guns and the power they hold. However, you dont know if the other kids have that. It would be nice if kids were all taught to respect them but they arent. I chose not to allow my kids to play with toy guns because I wanted that fear and respect to remain. I continue to see it being a wise choice. Whether someone else has a different result is a matter of what worked for them. I grew up in the south where guns were a way of life. I just wanted my children to think of them as weapons and not toys. So far, that has worked with them. My 14yo is practicing for the sharp shooter tryouts with his JROTC sharpshooter team. My fiance is working with him and I can tell that he has a healthy fear and respect for these weapons. He is at an age where he can respect the weapons he will be using. He is very good at it, considering the limited exposure he has had to firearms of any kind. He never forgets his safety measures and he treats my fiance's firearms with the respect and care they demand. He wouldnt have been so attentive at 10. I am glad I didnt allow my boys to have toy guns. I see the resepect he has for the real ones and that is all the proof I need to show my way was best for MY boys.Quoting Bethsunshine:
Quoting DAHLONEGAMOMMY:
I did not let my boys play with toy guns. I didnt want them to think of guns as toys. I wanted them to remember that guns are weapons and nothing to be played with. I live in the south and its a right of passage for a father to pass a firearm down to his son but I put a rule into play that I asked my exhusband and my father to adhere by and they did. I asked them not to pass on a firearm to either of my children until they felt that particular child had reached an age to which they would trust him with their personal vehicle. Basically, "When you are ready to hand the keys to your car to my son and allow him to drive it in public, you can give him your gun." Neither of my boys have guns and they are 14 and 17 and about to be 18 and 15. You wouldnt let your child pretended to smoke crack so handing them a toy gun and telling them its ok to pretend with a weapon every bit as deadly makes no sense to me. the minute you turn it into a toy you take away the fear factor that should come with every weapon on harmful item known to man. Kids will not respect something they have pretended to have. Every time they fired their play guns at Joey he got back up. That may not be the case when the real thing is fired. There are some things in life that should never be toys. Weapons that kill are one of them, in my opinion. Turning them into toys takes away any hope of respect.
That's not true!! I grew up in a house with guns, because my dad was a hunter. My brother and I also had toy guns and BB guns. We were taught from DAY ONE that you don't touch Daddy's guns, no matter what. Guess what? We never did! My brother was given a real gun for hunting when he was about 12.
In our house, we don't own any real guns because my husband isn't a hunter. However, my boys have toy guns of all kinds as well as Airsoft guns. When we visit my parents,( they live in SC, we live in PA so we only see them once or twice a year) they know not to touch Grandaddy's guns. My dad took them out a few years ago and let them shoot at a target to teach them gun safety. I trusted him totally, because I know how he is about gun safety and respecting guns.
Even if you don't have actual toy guns little boys will find a way....lol I've had 2 and 3 yr olds use their hands as guns and build lego guns and even use random toys as guns by pointing them at me and saying 'pow' I think its fine. They only thing I do not allow is wrestling and hitting. I am a preschool teacher with 11 two yr olds in my class most of them boys.
We don't allow play guns because we are a pro-Second Amendment household and I would never want my children confusing a fake toy gun with a real one (not that he knows where our guns are kept, but better safe than sorry).
All of my kids have had toy guns whether it is nerf or BB or other kind. Each of us also have real guns, which the kids have been taught to respect and use properly.
Nah. He'll pick up a stick at some point and pretend it's a gun. He'll chew his PB & J sandwich into the shape of a pistol. He doesn't need to be given any guns! (He's 2). The best thing I can do is not show him TV with guns. When he starts playing guns, I'll discourage it, but I probably won't make a big deal out of it.
I don't let my boys play with guns. I'll try my hardest not to let them play with them period.
HECK NO!! and NEVER is it acceptable to "play" with guns. If children have guns they should be taught to use them responsibly and with adult supervision. Even toy guns should be supervised by adults too. One exception might be water guns but these days kids see a lot of violence and you always want to make sure your kids are using them in a fun, not violent manner.
I don't think it matters whether or not you give a child a toy gun. I've seen little boys and taken care of little boys who never had a toy gun in their lives, yet would pick up a stick, baseball bat, I've even seen it done with a football, and turn it into a gun. As long as they're just playing and understand the difference, then it's going to happen. That being said, I wouldn't intentionally go out and buy toy guns, but I've watched my 4 yo cousin pick up sticks and "shoot enemies just like dad" (his dad is in the guard) and I wasn't going to tell him his dad is wrong.
My neighbor in Alaska kept guns (lots of folks hunt up there) & she went on & on to me about the need for handguns also (we lived so far out on a mountain). She told me all about teaching gun safety & always storing the guns separate from the bullets. She pointed to the highest shelf of her closet & I saw the bullets stacked there. It all sounded pretty reasonable until one day when she walked in from the dryer with a warm load of her boys clothes. As she dumped them onto the counter & started folding four hot 357 Magnum bullets rolled off the counter onto the floor. Her boys were 3 & 4 years old...

Pendleton Makes Pitch For Drone Factory
PENDLETON, Ore. (AP) — Officials in Pendleton in northeast Oregon say they're making a pitch to get drone manufacturers interested in their area. They say the sparse population and lack of air traffic make the region a fine place to test unmanned aircraft. Economic development consultant Steve Chrisman tells the East Oregonian that drones are likely to be the area's best bet for dramatic development at its industrial park. He says the region plans a conference of manufacturers this fall in the area.

I'm just poppin' in real quick with some more fun news that I neglected to share last week. Last Thursday, I received my copy of the current issue of Threads.
I love Threads magazine, and the current issue has a lot of cool ideas in it (heirloom buttons, I will make you soon). Anyway, this issue was even more exciting than usual to look through, because guess what! My Louisa coat is featured in the Reader's Closet section!
Woohoo!! It just so happens that I received my copy of the magazine on my birthday last week. How perfect is that?

People have an interest in native plants for their beauty, their addition to soil health and their place in the natural environment. But for those who came before us, said Lenawee Conservation Service educator coordinator Judy Holcomb, the interest was in medicinal properties.
Native Americans used a variety of local plants to help with a host of diseases and afflictions, and the arrival of the white settlers posed a problem.
"When a group was moved from one area to another," Holcomb said recently at a Morenci Garden Club meeting, "they had to get used to a new set of plants, some not found in their native area."
Without their traditional herbal remedies, many died until new medicine was established.
"We weren't thinking about that as we moved them around," she said, "and that led to the demise of a lot of them."
That was compounded by the arrival of diseases brought to North America by Europeans for which no medicine was established.
Holcomb said she often wonders how many people died before proper dosages were figured out.
Holcomb said about half of the medications we use now can be traced back to herbal medicine. Some of the elixirs and remedies were brought across the ocean with settlers; others were learned from Native Americans.
"We have a lot of valid uses for plants, but along the way, pharmaceutical companies discovered they could come up with chemical alternatives," she said.
Many plants were once listed in pharmaceutical guides, but over the years herbs began dropping off the pages.
Many natural remedies are still available to buy in certain stores, Holcomb said, and there are still many people who depend on herbs for health care.
Native plants can make good choices for yards and gardens because of their hardiness—they adjusted to the local environment over many centuries.
"They don't need as much care, as much watering," Holcomb said. "They survive on their own really well. They're often referred to as weeds because they come up in the wrong spot."
Its desirability depends on whether or not it's wanted in a particular location, how fast it grows and whether it tends to take over an area.
Hybridization of native plants is posing a problem, Holcomb said.
"Studies have found that some of our native plants that have been hybridized and sold at nurseries have literally no food content for butterflies and bees. We've worked to create big flowers and long-lasting flowers and the ability to grow in areas where they aren't established."
People generally don't think about the importance of native plants to wildlife, Holcomb said, but those plants are essential to many animals and insects. Many migratory birds, for example, depend on plants for survival.
"They're hitting all those wetland areas that they know of and have been taught to the next generation and the next generation as they make their way back north," she said. "So when we fill in a wetland, we've just closed one of the restaurants on their way."
And then we wonder why we aren't seeing so many ducks this year or other waterfowl, she said.
"They depend on those stopping points," Holcomb said, "and some of them don't survive the trip without them."
Holcomb said there's a general rule of thumb to follow when it comes to the natural world: Everything has a purpose.
Bloodroot: used for jaundice, rattlesnake bites, and as an expectorant for bronchitis.
The red juice from the root can be used as a dye.
Cow Parsnip: potherb.
Trout Lily or Adder's Tongue: poultice for wounds.
Was once listed in the U.S. Pharmaceutical guide.
Skunk Cabbage: poultice, tea for whooping cough and seizures; asthma, rheumatism and dropsy.
Also used in tattooing: dried root powered and mixed with dye, then injected under skin with sharpened fish tooth.
It's a harbinger of spring, Holcomb said, but the odor of rotting flesh might not be considered a good harbinger.
Jack-in-the-Pulpit: head aches, sore eyes.
Eating the fiery root was a test of manhood.
May Apple: laxative; insecticides; used as a poison.
The trick, Holcomb said, is to get the ripe fruit before wildlife does.
Bird's-foot violet: laxative.
Trillium: male and female remedies; cramps; birthing.
"It has a reputation for being an aphrodisiac," Holcomb said. "I'm surprised you still see any of them around."
Dandelion: diuretic.
Many plants have been hybridized, Holcomb said, but dandelions have been left as is.
Bouncing Bet: skin problems, expectorant, jaundice, venereal disease, pox. Adds froth to beer; works as a soap.
Yarrow: crushed and stuffed into the wounds of Civil War soldiers; bruises, toothaches.
Jewelweed: poison ivy care and prevention.
All parts of jewelweed can be liquified in a blender, then bottled and refrigerated for later use.
Goldenrod: ulcers, wounds.
It's not an irritant for those with allergies, Holcomb said. It just gets a bad rap for its association with ragweed.
Thistles: anorexia, jaundice, fevers, back pains of pregnant women.
If thistle flowers close during the day, Holcomb said, rain is on the way.
Bee Balm: headaches, sore throat, congestion, acne, insect bites.
Boneset: dengue fever, broken bones.
Great blue lobelia: syphilis.
Columbine: child birth, fever, headache.
Coneflower: poultice, head aches, tooth ache.
Black-eyed Susan: fighting staph infections, building immunity.

Households across Britain have been warned of the imminent dangers presented to their well-being following the disconcerting revelation they were never more than 6 feet away from a fully formed Tory.
The unfathomably populous homo-sapien Torius-rattus of right-wing persuasion, first noted in the 1600's, is widely considered to be the single biggest threat to the survival of struggling working class families across the country since the bubonic plague.
Environmentalist, Mary Trout, believes the re-emergence of the specie, which came close to extinction in 1997 before undergoing a period of conservation during an extended spell in the political wilderness, suggests a strengthening in its resolve to disippate the core values of the nation it currently holds in its thrall.
She told an audience of biologists, 'The uncontrollable spread of the Tory now represents a very real and present danger to householders up and down the land.'
'Be it affecting a home owner's ability to keep themselves warm or fed by swarming all over them to deprive them of more and more cash through budgets carefully choreographed to look like they are actually doing more for them.'
'They have even taken to increasing the cost of the cheap alcohol that has been keeping these poor people sane.'
Ms Trout was compelled to warn that no amount of trap or poison laying could expel the troublesome vermin.
'There is only one known method of pest control.'
'The ballot box.'

Guys like big butts and they cannot lie. Seriously though… flat, small butts are still not attractive to (a majority of) guys! Guys love a curvy woman. Just look at some attractive celebrities, Sofia Vergara and Jennifer Lopez, they are both small but also curvy in the right places. Amber Rose is another beautiful, curvy woman. Just earlier today we heard Wiz Khalifa talk about how attracted her "big `ole booty"! Oh and lets not forget the infamous Kardashian butt. No matter how much you cringe at when you hear anything about Kim Kardashian, you have to admit she isn't an ugly lady, body and all, even though she has paid for most of it.
Yes, it's obvious that any celebrity with an attractive body has probably paid to get it that way. Or they have the luxury of affording a personal trainer to keep it that way. We're not celebrities but we still want that hot butt right? Allure Magazine has recently released a section about getting your butt "bikini ready". Why not have a better butt year round? Here are some tips and tricks to make that booty pop, naturally, without having to visit the plastic surgeon for it.
First of all, you should know that the worst thing you can do for your behind is to sit… all day long. Desk jobs are anti-butt boosters. A Tel Aviv University study found out that about 50% more body fat is produced on parts that we put pressure on, while sitting. That means you need to take some time to stand or walk around the office through out the day, get that blood circulation moving! Next, you are going to have to add some new steps to your typical workout routine (if you have a workout routine). According to body expert Gunnar Peterson in Allure Magazine, "The biggest mistake people make is not working this complex muscle group from enough angles", referring to the glutes. Here are some simple mix up's to maximize your workout:
Power Squats: These are essential! The key is to do them correctly: keep your feet shoulder-width apart while lowering yourself to the ground as if your are sitting on an invisible chair. Get your thighs to be parallel to the floor and squeeze your glutes as your lift yourself up right. Repeat this 15-20 times. Another way to do this is using a wall, instead of squatting up and down, you adjust yourself against a wall with your legs and feet in the same position. Make sure your butt is at a 90 degree angle with the wall and hold yourself there for 45-60 seconds.
Hike The Stairs: Take advantage of the stair everywhere you go! School, work, the mall, apartment… anywhere you see stairs as an option, use it! Not only that, skip a step while going up. If no one is around, use the stairs for lunges. Lunge up two or three steps from the base of the stairs. Repeat this 30-40 times on each leg.
The Undercover Flex: Get a workout while you're not working out. While you're sitting in traffic, at your desk, or laying in bed, flex your glutes! Flex your right cheek, then your left, then repeat. Believe it or not – this will help give your butt a lift.
10 Instant Butt Boosters:
from Allure Magazine
Wear the right pants.
To accentuate your bottom, wear pants with narrower legs. They don't need to be painted on or super skinny, they just need to be more fitted around the butt. Anything baggy disguises the actual shape.
Go indigo.
Darker jeans are better. They naturally make any butt look smaller and tighter.
Rise to the occasion.
Low rise jeans are better for smaller butts while jeans that lay at your bellybutton are more flattering for larger butts. The key is to look lifted and tight, not wide or flat.
Pick your pockets.
Over sized pockets can make your butt look bigger while smaller pockets make your butt look smaller. The placement is key too. To make it easier on yourself, always go with pockets that sit a little bit lower than the top of your butt. This will give an illusion that the butt sits higher.
Get a tailor.
What's better than getting an expert to tailor your jeans for a perfect, custom fit? Nothing.
Sharpen that pencil skirt.
Baggy fits make your butt look bigger, in a bad way; too tight will flatten it. Skirts should naturally cup your butt. Again, visiting a tailor to have them nip the center seam in the back will allow for a perfect fit.
Avoid shimmer.
Any shiny fabric like satin, taffeta, and silk have sheen that draw attention to imperfections. Stay away.
Be well-heeled.
The higher and rounder the heel the better. Heels put in arch in your back which allows for a natural lift in the butt. It also adds perkiness and muscle tone. Oh, and they're sexy.
No matter how comfortable leggings are they are not pants. Most ladies don't realize they are also sheer. That means in sunlight, the thin fabric shows more details than anyone probably wants to see, including dimples. Do yourself a favor and shine some light on those leggings before you leave the house to confirm they are too thin. Or wear a long shirt that fully covers your bottom.
Camouflage cellulite.
Spandex is your friend. Even the smallest celebrities wear them at red carpet events! Spandex eliminates extra jiggle and smooths everything.

Well, that was not just another game.
In his first game and just his second at-bat with the Orioles, Taylor Teagarden hit his first career walk-off homer. His two-run shot to right was two batters after J.J. Hardy's game-tying shot to left and gave the Orioles a remarkable and exhausting 8-6 win in 13 innings over the Tigers.
The Orioles earlier had blown a 4-1 lead in the top of the ninth, and each team scored one run in the 11th. The Tigers took a 6-5 lead to the last of the 13th before two O's homers turned what would have been a brutal loss into a victory.
It was just the Orioles second win in the last six games and just their seventh in the last 21 games.
In Sunday's series finale, Miguel Gonzalez (1-0, 1.93 ERA) faces Justin Verlander (9-5, 2.58 ERA).

Mission Federal Credit Union and the San Diego Chargers have joined forces to score a few financial fitness touchdowns for Nativity Prep Academy.
When most teams win a championship their fans celebrate for a brief period afterward and the psychological impact on their hometowns is fleeting. That's not the case with the New Orleans Saints' Super Bowl victory earlier this year.

Additionally, NYRA has
begun to transport all euthanized horses to the College of Veterinary
Medicine at Cornell for complete necropsies.
These actions
address the recent catastrophic breakdowns at Aqueduct Racetrack. Four
horses – El Macho (December 13,
Race 1), Bomber Boy (January 6, Race 7), Wildcat's Smile (January 6,
Race 8) and Pleasantfriday (January 10, Race 5) – were injured and
euthanized since racing began on the inner track on December 12. Racing
on the inner track at Aqueduct is scheduled at this
time to continue through March 30, though an earlier move to the main
track would be considered, weather permitting.
"NYRA is taking immediate steps to try to prevent more catastrophic injuries from occurring,"
said Skorton. "We are establishing a new position, Equine
Veterinary Medical Director, to be in charge of the health and safety of
horses at all NYRA tracks and direct investigations into these
unfortunate events. In addition to these immediate actions,
we will soon be making decisions on several specific operational issues in the interest of equine health and safety."
"Addressing the problem
of breakdowns at NYRA is our first priority. We will do everything to
protect the jockeys and the horses," added Bonomo.
NYRA's veterinary
department will report to the Equine Veterinary Medical Director, who
will be based on-track at NYRA facilities.
Under newly established
on-track standard operating procedures, complete necropsies will now be
performed at the College of Veterinary Medicine at Cornell by a
board-certified pathologist with medical records
and history from the Equine Veterinary Medical Director
and NYRA attending veterinarians. These necropsy reports will be
incorporated into a new NYRA database that tracks all injuries and
mortalities occurring on NYRA tracks, and will comprise a component
of the investigation of each fatality by NYRA's new Mortality Review
"The appointment of the
Equine Veterinary Medical Director clears the way to establish a NYRA
Mortality Review Board, one of the key recommendations of the Task
Force," stated Ellen McClain, NYRA President and
COO. "These new steps will add to a number of
recommendations NYRA has implemented during the three months since the
Task Force released its report. A major step forward is the development
of electronic record keeping. We are aggregating
moisture content, weather data and other maintenance information in a
single database. Working with industry experts, we are developing the
nation's most sophisticated method of data collection, which will
ultimately enable evaluation of injuries in the context
of track conditions."
The following additional changes to NYRA policies and operations will be
considered by the NYRA Board at its meeting on January 25:
NYRA Board will have serious discussions next week to consider all
these important issues that affect the health and safety of our jockeys
and horses," said Skorton.

Sketch released in Baldwin Park robberies
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Orlando Police Department is asking the public's help in identifying a man accused of two ambush-style robberies in Baldwin Park over the last 10 days.
Police said the man robbed a woman, stealing her cellphone about 10:15 p.m. on Oct. 27 along the bike path near Almond Avenue and Lake Baldwin Lane.
Then, on Nov. 1 shortly before 10 p.m., a man matching the same description robbed another woman of her cellphone as she walked on the sidewalk along Lake Baldwin Lane.
No weapons were seen during either robbery, but police said the man threatened to stab one of the victims if she didn't comply.
The robber is described as Hispanic, standing about 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 180 pounds.
He appears to be between 25-35 years old and was last seen wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, long, dark shorts and a ball cap.
He fled on a black bicycle in both incidents, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to contact CrimeLine at 800-423-TIPS.
Anyone with information is eligible for a cash reward.

Man's charity sea voyage in a home-made pod goes badly wrong
An experienced marathon runner who was attempting to reach Bermuda from the US in a self-built inflatable bubble, has been rescued by Coast Guards after suffering from extreme exhaustion.
Reza Baluchi was spotted by Coast Guard watchstanders on Wednesday floating inside the bubble 80 miles off the shore of St. Augustine, Florida, looking disoriented and asking for directions to the island cluster roughly 1,000 miles from Miami.
He was picked up by US Coast Guard air crew on Saturday morning and taken to a nearby coast guard station, where he was described as safe and well.
The Coast Guard said it was first made known of a man floating in a giant bubble on the sea on Wednesday. After Baluchi had alerted the emergency services of his need for help, rescuers found him disorientated and asking how to get to Bermuda.
Baluchi, an Iranian exile, was attempting to 'Zorb' the 1,033 mile trip
He set off in his inflatable 'Hydro-pod' from California in order to raise money for "children in need" and "to… inspire those that have lost hope for a better future" according to his website.

Panoramic Europe - 28th December, This trip turned out to be really good and it was a great way to celebrate the New year's.

text: Until Palm Sunday, the people of Warsaw will be gathering for their Lenten prayers in one of the 40 resident churches of the city. The initiative, promoted for the second year in a row, "aims at helping the congregations to get ready for Easter better, by making conversion an integral part of every Christian's daily life", explains monsignor Henryk Hoser, archbishop of the diocese of Warsaw-Prague (Poland's capital is geographically split into two archdioceses, on the two banks of the Vistula). The prelate, speaking of the first year of the initiative, points out that in Lent 2015 "the congregations' vibrant response" made lots of people "get close to the Sacrament of Penance without waiting until the last minute". "Given that in 2016 Lent is experienced as part of the Year of Mercy, praying in the resident churches will make the congregations get a better understanding of the mystery of God's forgiveness", monsignor Tadeusz Sowa, director of the pastoral service for the diocesan curia, points out.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration officials announced today that they have discovered an object rapidly approaching Earth that resembles a Death Star from the popular movie series Star Wars. They also reported several large triangular objects accompanying the huge sphere.
"SETI has picked up what appear to be electronic communications from the objects," said a NASA spokesman, "but so far we have been unable to decypher the signals."
Star Wars fans across the world are a little frightened. "Many of us are more than willing to join the Dark Side if that's what it takes to save Earth," said the chairman of the Hollywood chapter of the George Lucas Fanclub.
Lucas could not be reached for comment.
World leaders George W. Bush and Tony Blair made statements in response to NASA's report. "If they're hostile, we will treat them as any other terrorist," said Bush.
Blair was more optimistic. "We have been contacted by the leader of the Raelian Movement claiming the Elohim are returning to claim the human society they seeded with their clones."

The "American dream" is an ideal instilled in children across this great nation as they make their way through school. We've always been taught that hard work, persistence and sacrifice are the keys to success and that, in America, the sky is the limit in regard to achieving that success. Today, though, our American dream is in jeopardy. We live in a society of overregulation, overtaxation and governmental favoritism in the business world.
In 2012, we need a president who'll say, "Enough is enough!" I believe Georgia's own Herman Cain is just the right man for the job. He has decades of experience in the private sector, transforming failing corporations into thriving businesses. He has seen firsthand the damaging effect too much governmental intrusion can have. He knows that job creation and economic growth happen in the private sector and that the government should be supporting businesses, not stifling their potential. Despite Cain's impressive resume, the mainstream media doesn't seem to want to give him any attention.
I stand for the American dream, and if Herman Cain is as impressive as he sounds, then I definitely stand with him. There are many great reasons to support him, and I encourage you to learn more about Herman Cain at http://www.hermancain.com/the-issues.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: None
Fix Version/s: 1.4
Component/s: None
the TermHistogram class in the LukeRequestHandler seems to properly count the occurances of terms with a freq of "1", but then when converting to a NamedLIst begins iterating at bucket "2" so the counts for freq of "1" don't appear in the result.
this may have been a conscious choice to eliminate superfluously high values for terms with a freq of one ... or it may have been a mistake assuming freq values of 1 would fall in the "2" bucket.
- All
- Comments
- Work Log
- History
- Activity
- Transitions
possible ways to resolve this...
1) add a comment clarifying that the current behavior is desired
2) make iteration start at "1"
3) change getPowerOfTwoBucket so "2" is the lowest bucket value it ever returns.
yeah ... fixing should be trivial, i just wasn't sure where the bug was (the iteration, or the bucket assignment)
There were three possible fixes depending on what people thought the correct behavior should be.
i don't have the code in front of me, but as i recall they were all trivial...
1) add a comment
2) change a for loop to start at 1 instead of 2
3) change getPowerOfTwoBucket to have something like...
return result < 2 ? 2 : result;
I think Ryan wrote this code originally: Ryan, do you have any recollection as to what the orriginal intent was with the first bucket?
Committed revision 810324.
i went ahead and fixed this using the "display the '1' bucket" approach.

F1: Lewis Hamilton on top in first practice for European GP
Baku (Azerbaijan): Defending world champion Lewis Hamilton topped the times ahead of his championship leading Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg in yesterday's incident-filled opening free practice session for this weekend's European Grand Prix.
Lewis Hamilton
Hamilton clocked a best lap of one minute 46.436 seconds on supersoft tyres to outpace Rosberg by four-tenths of a second on the new Baku street circuit.
Dusty circuit
The tight and dusty circuit, never used before, created a series of problems for the drivers and cars in a session that was red-flagged when Australian Daniel Ricciardo crashed his Red Bull into the wall at Turn 15.
On a disappointing day for the Red Bull team, his teenage Dutch team-mate Max Verstappen managed only seven laps before he stopped with an oil leak. Valtteri Bottas was third for Williams ahead of two-time champion Fernando Alonso of McLaren Honda with four-time champion Sebastian Vettel fifth for Ferrari.
There was little excitement in the early stages as reticent drivers waited for others to go out and clean up the circuit before Hamilton began to set the pace after 22 minutes of the 90.

Wada throws, but Britton's timetable uncertain
Wada throws, but Britton's timetable uncertain
Wada will pitch again on Saturday in Port Charlotte, Fla., and if all goes well, he'll pitch in a rehab game for one of the Orioles' affiliates on April 19. Showalter reiterated on Monday that Wada will get at least two more starts before being activated from the disabled list, so April 24 would be the earliest conceivable date he could return.
Fellow starter Zach Britton, out with a left shoulder impingement, will pick up a baseball on Thursday for the first time since undergoing a platelet-rich plasma treatment last month. Britton has been doing shoulder rehab work down in extended spring camp, and the plan is for him to play light catch and take it from there.
There remains no timetable on Britton's return at this point, and Showalter said the team will have a better idea after he plays catch a few times.
"He's got to jump through some hoops to get there, but I'm hoping by the first part of May we are getting some definitive idea about when [he could return]," Showalter said. "The next couple of weeks will be key, provided this is where he goes when he's ready."

Uncertainty Colors Physicians' Watch List
The top issues on the Physicians Foundation Watch List for 2014 are related to healthcare reform. Some matters, such as health insurance exchanges, are no longer a theoretical concern, but an emergent and very real one.
Ambiguity around how various provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will be implemented is the core reason behind the top physician concerns on the Physicians Foundation 2014 Watch List.
The group released the list this week.
Last year, the Physicians Foundation used the word "nebulous" to describe the implementation of health insurance exchanges, fee schedules, accountable care organizations, and the Independent Payment Advisory Board. This year, significant uncertainty remains around all of those as well as the PPACA in general.
But heading into 2014 the issues are different because some, like health insurance exchanges, are no longer theory, they are being put into practice.
Last year's concern about exchanges centered on patient access to physicians. While that remains to be seen, it is more of a long-term worry that will take months, maybe years, to play out. Going forward, when HIX enrollees begin making appointments, physicians will face the potential problem of uncompensated care. It's a real issue, and there are two reasons why:
First, reports have surfaced that 1 in 4 files with information from exchange enrollees to insurers were incomplete or wrong. The Washington Post says, "The mistakes include failure to notify insurers about new customers, duplicate enrollments or cancellation notices for the same person, incorrect information about family members, and mistakes involving federal subsidies."

91ST COMMEMORATION OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE -- (House of Representatives - April 26, 2006)
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Ms. Foxx). Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr. Pallone) is recognized for 5 minutes.
Mr. PALLONE. Madam Speaker, I rise this evening to commemorate the 91st anniversary of the Armenian genocide. As the first genocide of the 20th century, it is morally imperative that we remember this atrocity and collectively demand reaffirmation of this crime against humanity.
April 24th marked the beginning of the systematic and deliberate campaign of genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire in 1915. Over the following 8 years, 1.5 million Armenians were tortured and murdered, and more than half a million were forced from their homeland into exile.
Last week I was joined by my cochair of the Armenia Caucus and many of my colleagues in Congress on a bipartisan basis in sending yet another bipartisan congressional letter to President Bush urging him to use the word ``genocide'' in his April 24th commemorative statement. With over 178 signatures, the message in that letter is loud and clear: 90 years is too long to wait for justice to be served and proper recognition to be made.
The President should have used the 91st anniversary of the Armenian genocide to promote the U.S. foreign policy that reflects appropriate understanding and sensitivity to human rights, ethnic cleansing, and genocide. But, instead, President Bush once again failed to honor his pledge to properly characterize the Armenian genocide in his annual remarks. Despite pleas by Members of Congress and the Armenian American community, and recognition by much of the international community, he continues to avoid any clear reference to the Armenian genocide while consistently opposing legislation marking this crime against humanity.
The Bush administration continues to be influenced by the Government of Turkey by placing parts of our foreign policy in their hands. When it comes to facing the judgment of history about the Armenian genocide, Turkey, rather than acknowledging truth, has instead chosen to trample on the rights of its citizens to maintain its lies. The U.S. cannot continue to submit to Turkey's shameless threats and intimidation.
Madam Speaker, the U.S. owes it to the Armenian American community, to the 1.5 million that were massacred in the genocide, and to its own history to reaffirm what is fact. As we have seen time and time again, the United States has a proud history of action and response to the Armenian genocide. During a time when hundreds of thousands were left orphaned and starving, a time when a nation was on the verge of complete extermination, the U.S. took the lead and proudly helped end these atrocities. In fact, Americans helped launch an unprecedented U.S. diplomatic, political, and humanitarian campaign to end the carnage and protect the survivors.
If America is going to live up to the standards we set for ourselves and continue to lead the world in affirming human rights everywhere, we need to stand up and recognize the tragic events that began in 1915 for what they were: The systematic elimination of a people. The fact of the Armenian genocide is not in dispute.
Madam Speaker, regardless of President Bush's inaction, I call on Speaker Hastert to bring the resolution to officially recognize the Armenian genocide to the House floor. The resolution that passed in committee last September, again on a bipartisan basis by an overwhelming majority, has over 148 cosponsors. Now is the time to allow Members to reaffirm the United States' record on the Armenian genocide.
The U.S. Government needs to stop playing politics with this tragic time in history and take a firm stance for the truth. Genocide must not be tolerated.

I've always thought about joining there as I grew up in Belle Vernon (The "wrong side of the Wal-Mart") and used to shoot 3D there a few years ago.
It seems like a nice set-up, however when I was there, it always seemed like a bunch of old-timers (nothing wrong with that)...
I live in Brentwood now, although looking at moving back to "the Valley" soon, I'm still considering joining Pitcarin-Monroeville Sportsmans Club. They have a great facility (try a group shoot sometime). I don't know about the hunting aspect of the club (I belong to Eldora R&GC for that), and also hunt a family members small 17 acre plot that is adjacent to other "woods" area in Rostraver.
It may be a small drive, but I would seriously consider checking out Pitcarin-Monroeville as even if I move, I believe that's where I will join this January.

Re: Rostraver sportsman
I have considered pitcarin-monroeville in the past, the biggest problem i have with it is location. it's a direction that i dont travel very often. we do most things toward Washington. we have family over in west newton so we travel that way very often, just not much beyondOur Country won't go on forever, if we stay soft as we are now. There won't be any AMERICA because some foreign soldier will invade us and take our women and breed a hardier race! Chesty Puller

Re: Rostraver sportsman
I've shot Clairton GC a few times for USPSA matches, and they seemed pretty friendly. I'm not sure what all they offer or their cost of membership, but I have definitely considered joining there.
I have hear that Rostraver GC has some strange noise and shooting restrictions. I am not entirely sure what they are, and don't want to speak out of turn, but a few friends have told me it isn't worth the hassle to join.

As I sat and watched last nights game and another Mike Pelfrey melt down I wondered if Mike Pelfrey still had minor league options and would the Mets make a move to send him to Buffalo? I was set to tweet this to find an answer and just as I was about to type, Gary Cohen (belated Happy Birthday to Gary by the way) answered my question for me, yes Pelf has options and Cohen took it a step further and asked would the Mets send him to Buffalo? Cohen and Ron Darling thought that might be the move to make but Keith Hernandez was not in favor. If you ask me, if you can option Pelfrey to Triple A then you have to do it for his sake, the teams sake, and maybe the least, for the fans.
It's to the point where watching Pelfrey pitch has become very uncomfortable. The hand licking thing is really, really annoying, it's like a nervous twitch. I always get the feeling we are one hit or walk or balk away from Pelfrey curling up on the mound in the fetal position and sucking his thumb. Especially in Philadelphia where he routinely melts down.
The 4th inning last night was a prime example. You knew as soon as Ryan Howard hit that home run, Pelfrey was done for the night. That home run would stay in his head for the rest of the start. There is no "turn the page" in the Mike Pelfrey Playbook. After the home run, next batter Ben Francisco gets a base hit and steals second because Pelfrey is still thinking about the home run and Josh Thole is still a green horn behind the plate and that's a problem as well. Pelfrey needs a veteran catcher to call the game for him. He's stated this as the less he has to think the better he is, that's why he loved pitching to Henry Blanco, and to an extent pitched his best game of the year throwing to Mike Nickeas. If the front office feels they want to keep Pelfrey up here then they should make Pelf become Ronnie Paulino's pet project and have him become his pitching chauffer.
The decision on what to do with Pelfrey becomes even dicier with Dillion Gee still here. It's clear, if the Mets are not going to put Gee in the rotation then they need to send him to Buffalo and let him pitch every fifth day. It's not fair to him. His mind set is as a starting pitcher and I felt Terry Collins (who did an awful managerial job last night, how do you walk Brain Schneider intentionally with two out and the pitcher up next?) did Gee a real disservice by bringing him in relief like he did. Collins wanted to start Gee last night to give Pelfrey a couple of more days to get over the flu bug that wore him out. Collins let Pelf talk him into giving him the ball. I hope TC learned always go with your first instinct next time.
So my patience is up with Pelfrey and a shuffle up to Buffalo or a trip to Dr. Phil' couch look to be in order. As for Pelfrey being the ace of the staff, that was some made up main stream media mumbo jumbo bullshit. As Bobby Valentine says, the ace of your staff is that day starting pitcher. Amen!

Organizers of a citizenship campaign say they want to be swamped by immigrants at a workshop Saturday at Mountain View College.
Citizenship campaigns are rolling out across the nation during April, the national month of citizenship. Almost 160,000 legal permanent residents in the Dallas area are eligible to take that next step.
On Wednesday, several groups joined the American Immigration Attorneys Association to spotlight the benefits of citizenship in a news conference at Dallas City Hall.
"Dallas is a very important city with high concentrations of legal permanent residents," said Clara Ortega-Hogue of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials and Educational Fund.
Nationally, there are 8.5 million legal permanent residents with green cards eligible to be naturalized. About 1.3 million of those immigrants are in Texas. Green card holders are eligible to become citizens if they meet the general requirement of five years of legal residency.
More than a dozen groups are partners in the citizenship mission, including Catholic Charities of Dallas and Proyecto Inmigrante.
NALEO scored big success in 2007 when it helped lead efforts to naturalize 1.4 million people around the nation with a Ya Es Hora/Now is the Time campaign. A pending fee increase spurred many to begin studying for the U.S. citizenship tests and to take the exam. Naturalization fees are now nearly $700.
The citizenship workshop will be at Mountain View's gymnasium at 4849 W. Illinois Ave. in Oak Cliff. More information is available at Proyecto Inmigrante at 888-793-2182 or www.proyectoinmigrante.org.

When The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) asked investment company fund managers to tip their top performing region for 2010, emerging markets came top with 35pc of the vote. Second and third were also sectors that can be included in the emerging markets umbrella- Latin America and the Far East excluding Japan respectively with 22pc and 18pc of the vote.
Dr Slim Feriani, chief executive of Advance Emerging Capital and manager of Advance Developing Markets said: "The performance of emerging market equities has handsomely outpaced that of developing markets in the past five years and we expect that outperformance to continue over the next five years.
"Emerging countries have emerged as the "relative winners" from the subprime crisis and resulting recession for two prime reasons: the quality of their sovereign and household balance sheets has never looked so strong compared with developed countries as it does currently; and their economic and corporate earnings growth is and will continue to easily outstrip that of the developed world in both real and nominal terms for the foreseeable future."
Following Schroders' annual outlook for 2010 media presentation, Alan Brown and Keith Wade predicted that the current global rally is likely to continue into 2010 with emerging markets leading the economic recovery. However, they warned that there are a number of potential monetary and economic factors that could derail the global recovery.
To protect against these, Schroders recommended a more dynamic approach to asset management involving greater diversification and flexibility in order to protect clients' portfolios.
Close Asset Management believe that emerging markets here to stay. "The growing strain on Western consumers and government finances are likely to be reflected in weaker macroeconomic data and pressure on revenues for many years to come," said Stuart Dyer, head of distribution for Close. "Equity market valuations do not look well underpinned in an environment of low or faltering growth.
For investors seeking long-term growth emerging markets are likely to look increasingly attractive and we are already seeing a sea-change in risk attitudes to investment in these markets; expect this to continue and exposure to these markets to increase."
Fidelity International's Mr Teera Chanpongsang, portfolio manager for their India Focus Fund and Emerging Markets Fund agreed. He said that emerging markets would continue to offer strong long term investment opportunities and stable governments and developing industry will fuel growth.
He said: "Early signs of a recovery are visible in recent economic indicators and earnings upgrades. The region has one of the strongest GDP growth rates in the world, driven by favourable demographics and healthy population growth, which means more people are added to the region's work force."

Cops have arrested a teen for the death of a 9-month-old boy left in his care.
Martin Quirindongo, 17, of Brooklyn, has been charged with first-degree murder and second degree manslaughter for the death of Ryan Ferrer, who died from blunt-impact injuries Tuesday. The Medical Examiner's Office ruled the death a homicide yesterday.
The baby suffered bleeding in his brain, and his internal organs were bruised and cut, a spokesperson for the ME told The Post. Authorities said Quirindongo — who was busted in 2009 for robbery — was baby-sitting the infant at the family's Bronx apartment Tuesday morning while the mother was at work.
Police responded to a 911 call, and said the child was unconscious when they arrived at the Marble Hill apartment.
Ryan later died at a hospital.

Mobile Outreach Program
COUNTERfit Mobile Program:
- The COUNTERfit Mobile Program operates EVERY DAY.
- On weekdays, it delivers service between 6:00-12:00pm (midnight)
- On weekends AND holidays, you can call for harm reduction materials between noon and midnight.
- Services are delivered right to your home, or anywhere you want within COUNTERfit's catchment area.
- Yousef (or Joe) delivers service between Saturday and Thursday (6 days a week), using his own car. There are no identifying signs on this car – so your neighbours and friends won't know why Joe is visiting you.
- The Program Coordinator delivers service on Friday nights. Most of the time he uses Beck Taxi.
- COUNTERfit's catchment area is:
- Lakeshore Avenue to Eglinton Avenue East
- Don Valley Parkway to Victoria park
- Please note that we've crossed these boundaries when we've realized you have nowhere else to call. But we encourage you to contact your local service providers and ask them to find a way to deliver services to you. You're always better off when you're being served by your local service provider. Until then, we don't mind crossing one or two blocks to make sure you remain healthy!
How Fast Does the Mobile Program Work?
95% of the time, the mobile program delivers supplies within 20-30 minutes. Sometimes we receive multiple calls at the same time. We will tell you when this happens so that you have a fairly accurate estimate in terms of when you're going to get your supplies. Rarely a caller has had to wait for supplies for more than 30 minutes. During the past six months, it took us an average of 23 minutes to deliver your request.
We would like you to remember that others may be waiting for our delivery too – and sometimes the difference between sharing used needles and waiting for our delivery is only a few minutes – so the sooner you greet us, the sooner we can deliver service to the next caller.
General Information:
- The phone number for the mobile program is: 416.451.1951. To get the supplies as soon as you can, here's how you can help.
- When you call us, please indicate clearly:
- Your name,
- Your address,
- The supplies you want delivered,
- The number of each of these supplies you want
- Please let us know if you have special concerns (such as, "I don't want my wife to know – so call and I'll come out"; or, "The entrance is on the side of the house"; or, "Be careful, Toronto Housing security guards are always watching who is coming into the building. I don't want them to know I'm getting needles!")
- If you're calling for syringes, please indicate
- The brand: Terumo or BD
- The gauge (or thickness of the needle -- usually 27G to 29½G)
- The size of the syringe (usually ½CC [=50 units] or 1CC [=100 units])
- Remember that the bigger the gauge, the thinner the needle. We believe the 27G Terumo syringes are the best for cocaine and heroin injection. If you want to get information regarding what syringe is best for you, please call the program during business hours.
- Please remember that the needles' length is almost always the same – half an inch (or 1.125 cms long). Many folks argue with our staff about this issue and are embarrassed when we put the needles side by side and prove that they are exactly the same length – one just looks longer than the other because of the shape of the tip. At our fixed site, we do have a few boxes of short needles – but these are too short and are used for special purposes and we don't have enough to distribute them through our mobile program. But if you can convince us that you need other types of syringes, please let us know and we can try to get them for you.
- We also distribute 3cc syringes with various lengths and gauges of removable needle tips for intramuscular steroid use and Fentanyl use.
- Of course we also distribute tourniquets, cookers alcohol swabs, filters (medium and large), sterilized water (to cook your dope), and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C for crack injection or cooking brown H). We also carry vein cream when available.
- For crack users, we distribute stems, screens, mouthpieces, and pushers, among other things.
Safer Kit Distribution:
- Our Large or Small Injection Kits have everything you need to inject drugs, including alcohol swabs, filters, water, cookers, tourniquet, matches, Ascorbic acid and information. We include different sizes and gauges of syringes in these kits so that you can experiment with them and decide which one is the best for you.
- Our Stem Kits have everything you need to smoke crack, including stems, screens, pushers, alcohol swabs and information.
- Our Condom Kits were developed by sex workers and are ideal for sex work. But you don't have to be in the sex trade to use them. The Condom kits include condoms for women.
- Our Piercing Kits have different gauges of needles for safer piercing, including alcohol swabs and information.
Note: You're better off to order your supplies separately if you know what you need. The kits are more appropriate for new service users, or if you're leaving home and you want to make sure you have all the paraphernalia you need.
Client Cards:
Some callers are reluctant to reveal their names on the phone. This is totally understandable. You don't have to give us your REAL name. But if you're going to use another name, please make sure you use the same name all the time. We need this information - as well as your approximate age - for statistical purposes.
We also issue client cards with or without photo. For more on our client cards, click here.
Returning Used Needles:
We are always grateful when you return your used needles to us. A needle exchange program is not successful unless it produces a decent return rate. We provide different sizes of sharps containers so that you can store and return your used needles safely.
Please dump anything that has to do with using legal or illegal drugs in the sharps bins, including cookers, filters, used alcohol swabs, even your ashes if you've smoked crack.
TotalHYPE Magazine, Brochures and Surveys:
TotalHYPE is a COUNTERfit publication mostly written by people who use illegal drugs and deals with the community's daily realities. We include a magazine every time we get a mobile request. If you don't want a magazine, please let us know when you call, but we strongly recommend that you have a look at TotalHYPE before asking us not to deliver them to you. Besides dealing with issues that are relevant to you, TotalHYPE advertises about events, jobs, or research that you can take part in (and in the process make a little bit of spending money).
If you want to write an article or a poem or publish a piece of art and have a computer and an email account, please email these directly to Roxanne Smith at email@example.com. Otherwise, you can hand your articles, poems, or works of art to Yousef or to me and we'll get them to Roxanne. We also include brochures so that you can take advantage of the services we offer at COUNTERfit, or South Riverdale Community Health Centre. If you are arrested, let us know and we'll have TotalHYPE mailed to you.
A final comment:
When calling us, please be aware that we could be in a cab or someone else's apartment. So if we ask you to call back in 5 minutes; or if we let you know that we will call you shortly, we are trying to maintain your confidentiality. Please trust us that we will be serving you as soon as we are able to.
If you have suggestions for our mobile unit or COUNTERfit in general, please talk with Yousef, or call the Program Coordinator.
If you have a complaint, you can call the Program Coordinator during regular business hours. We encourage you to talk with our outreach worker first.
In the meantime, don't forget to call the mobile at 416.451.1951.

Don't miss a story. Like us on Facebook. Like Dallas News' Facebook Page
UPDATED throughout with details
Two years ago, SMU graduate Kevin Lavelle launched Mizzen+Main -- an apparel company that sells professional performance apparel with moisture-wicking properties -- after seeing men in sweat-soaked dress shirts as a summer intern in Washington DC.
The Dallas brand caught the attention of fashion magazines and high-end retailer Saks. Now, investors are following.
Mizzen+Main said today it raised $1.2 million in early-round funding from several notable Dallas entrepreneurs, including Bobby Lyle, Hunter Hunt of Hunt Consolidated Energy and Chris Kleinert of Hunt Consolidated Investments.
"We're excited to have them on board. We have a great group of people in Dallas who are supporting us," Lavelle said in an interview from New York.
Other investors included former Astor & Black founder David Schottenstein and VegasTechFund, a seed investment fund started by Zappos CEO Tony Hsieh.
Lavelle said the money will be used to expand its business, including opening a new office in the Design District. The office will house the company's order fulfillment center as well as a showroom where customers can check out Mizzen+Main in person.
"That is a very exciting step for us," he said. "We could finally call a place our own."
In the last several months, the company has hired five employees. The brand also plans to launch a new fall collection, create university-specific shirts and expand its wholesale relationships.
"It's time to grow. It's time to be playing on a national level, and we think we're finally at that point," Lavelle said. "That's why we waited until now to raise a meaningful Series A investment to build our foundational footprint."
Besides wrinkle-free performance dress shirts for men, the retailer sells American-made henleys, blazers and denim online, at specialty shops and department stores.

Doctors frustrated over vaccine scarcity
Vaccination programme on the cards for young people
A number of doctors in Northern Ireland have complained that a new vaccination programme against one strain of meningitis is being hampered by the lack of vaccine.
They accused the Department of Health of a "cock-up" over the availability of the vaccine against the C-strain of the disease which is being given to babies and young people as part of an Ł11m mass vaccination campaign in the province.
Dr Raymond Shearer, spokesman for the Northern Ireland Council for General Practitioners said: "Doctors are increasingly frustrated at the lack of availability and distribution of the new vaccine.
"GPs are very annoyed. The whole thing is a cock-up and the supplies just aren't available. Even the department can't get the immunisation on time."
However, Northern Ireland Health Minister George Howarth explained that the vaccine had only been licensed last week and there had been no opportunity to stockpile supplies.
All children to be vaccinated
"I intend to make the vaccine available now so that we can help save lives this winter. As further supplies become available we will be making sure these go straight to doctors and nurses to complete our programme."
He pledged that over the coming year all children in the province would be vaccinated - in recent years 10 local young people have died after contracting various strains of meningitis.
Because of supply problems only those in the most vulnerable age groups will be given priority.
From next week the vaccine will be offered to all 15-17 year olds.
From 6 December, it will be made available to babies at two, three and four months and 15 months as part of the routine immunisation programme.
After Christmas other babies under one will be recalled by their GPs. Other pre-school children will start to be recalled in a special catch-up programme. After Easter, health authorities hope to start vaccinating all other school-age children.
Northern Ireland chief medical officer Dr Henrietta Campbell appealed to parents to wait until their children were called either by their school or GP as it was important to prioritise the most vulnerable while there were only Iimited supplies of the vaccine available.
The accusations follow the launch of a public awareness campaign about the new meningitis C vaccine by the Health Promotion Agency on Monday.
The agency has produced over one million leaflets entitled Meningitis: Reduce the risk for children and young people to ensure the public has adequate information about the vaccine.
A television and radio advertising campaign is being launched to highlight the importance of people receiving the vaccine when they are sent an appointment.
Dr Brian Gaffney, Chief Executive of the Health Promotion Agency said: "The information leaflet which the agency has produced should answer many of the questions the public may have about the vaccination programme.
"It includes information about the vaccine, who will be given it and when."
