The distillery behind Maker's Mark bourbon is reducing the amount of alcohol in its bottles to meet a rise in global demand, company officials said yesterday.
"Demand for our bourbon is exceeding our ability to make it, which means we're running very low on supply," Maker's Mark executives Rob Samuels and Bill Samuels Jr. wrote in an joint e-mail to customers.
The bourbon brand — which in the '60s and '70s famously used the slogan, "It tastes expensive . . . and is" — looked at "all possible solutions" and "worked carefully" to dilute the potency of its product while maintaining "the same taste profile."
Maker's Mark is currently distilled to 45 percent alcohol by volume — or 90 proof — and will go down to 42 percent ABV — or 84 proof.

M24LR64-R: a dual-interface I2C and RF, electrically erasable programmable memory (EEPROM) for electric toys, mobile terminal and Electric Tools. It features an I2C interface and can be operated from a VCC power supply. It is also a contactless memory powered by the received carrier electromagnetic wave. The M24LR64-R is organized as 8192 × 8 bits in the I2C mode and as 2048 × 32 bits in the ISO15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 RF mode.
I2C uses a two-wire serial interface, comprising a bidirectional data line and a clock line. The devices carry a built-in 4-bit device type identifier code (1010) in accordance with the I2C bus definition.
The device behaves as a slave in the I2C protocol, with all memory operations synchronized by the serial clock. Read and Write operations are initiated by a Start condition, generated by the bus master. The Start condition is followed by a device select code and Read/Write bit (RW) (as described in Table 2), terminated by an acknowledge bit.
When writing data to the memory, the device inserts an acknowledge bit during the 9th bit time, following the bus master's 8-bit transmission. When data is read by the bus master, the bus master acknowledges the receipt of the data byte in the same way. Data transfers are terminated by a Stop condition after an Ack for Write, and after a NoAck for Read.
In the ISO15693/ISO18000-3 mode 1 RF mode, the M24LR64-R is accessed via the 13.56 MHz carrier electromagnetic wave on which incoming data are demodulated from the received signal amplitude modulation (ASK: amplitude shift keying). The received ASK wave is 10% or 100% modulated with a data rate of 1.6 Kbit/s using the 1/256 pulse coding mode or a data rate of 26 Kbit/s using the 1/4 pulse coding mode.
Outgoing data are generated by the M24LR64-R load variation using Manchester coding with one or two subcarrier frequencies at 423 kHz and 484 kHz. Data are transferred from the M24LR64-R at 6.6 Kbit/s in low data rate mode and 26 Kbit/s high data rate mode. The M24LR64-R supports the 53 Kbit/s in high data rate mode in one subcarrier frequency at 423 kHz.
The M24LR64-R follows the ISO 15693 and ISO 18000-3 mode 1 recommendation for radio-frequency power and signal interface.

Where we all take part in forest planning
VALLEJO, California, July 29, 2015 - The U.S. Forest Service's Pacific Southwest Region is sharing our draft proposed species of conservation concern (SCC) lists as part of the land and resource management plan revision process for the Inyo, Sequoia and Sierra National Forests. We are asking for public input that provides additional scientific information that may affect the draft proposed SCC lists.
The process for plan revision includes indicating species of conservation concern for each plan area. Developing a draft proposed SCC list for each national forest is one step in that process.
Through the SCC process, we determine if there is a concern about a particular species' ability to persist within the forest. If there is a concern, we design elements of the forest plan to provide the habitat conditions that will enable the species to persist on the forest. For more information on the SCC lists, visit our webpage: http://go.usa.gov/37tD3
We are asking the public to share their expertise by providing input to support or not support our draft proposed SCC lists. Feedback is most useful if submitted by August 14, 2015, via electronic mail to: email@example.com Please include "SCC lists" in the subject line.
In August 2014, the Forest Service began the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for forest plan revision on the three forests. Since then, we have been developing a draft environmental impact statement (EIS) and completing the analysis outlined by the 2012 Planning Rule. We anticipate releasing the draft EIS and draft forest plans for public comment and review later this year.

The greatest percentage of my fantasy leagues are dynasty formats. I even have a publication that some say is the book to buy every year if you compete in dynasty leagues. However, I may not have dynasty rankings posted in 2013.
I wasn't happy with my rankings last year. I didn't feel like I had a handle on a methodology for updating my rankings. The individual reasons made sense, but fitting these decisions into an overall framework that was logical felt lacking. My decision to move a player up or down felt reactionary.
While I'm among the last people you'll ever meet who lives in a world with black-and-white standards to live by, I do need some basic sets of boundaries so I can explain why I'm opting to veer outside the lines or to blend an area into shades of gray. This is especially the case with dynasty leagues.
Late last year I told readers that I would be working on a set of guideposts for my future rankings. A lot of what I am going to develop will have some roots in numbers, but I'm going to do my best not to torture the data. There's already too much cruelty to numbers in fantasy football.
If I cross that line, my apologies. I can assure you it's not my intent. The goal is to develop a philosophy and a set of standards for player movement within dynasty rankings.
I'm going to share my research by position in future Footballguys articles, because I think it will be a win-win situation. I'll share historical information that might help you think twice about lingering assumptions about players and positions in dynasty leagues. You may have questions or comments about what I'm doing and offer suggestions.
The next article I'll post on this topic will be about quarterbacks and dynasty leagues, but I think the best way to begin is to explain my recent beliefs on managing a team in this format before I study the data.
My Current Dynasty Philosophy
I think there are three types of owner styles prevalent in dynasty leagues:
- The Idealist
- The Realist
- The Hedonist
Like I said earlier, I don't believe in black-and-white labels. Most people are a blend of at least two of these styles when it comes to how they view certain aspects of dynasty league management. I'll do my best to explain each.
The IDealist (aka - The Hugh Hefner)
You might think of Hugh Hefner as the Hedonist, but before he was a mansion-owning, smoking jacket-wearing, multimillionaire hobnobbing with celebrities, he started a magazine on a shoe-string budget and did most of the grunt work on his own. Whether or not you enjoy his product is not the story; his enduring legacy is the foresight and effort to realize a massive effort with minimum capital.
There are fantasy owners in dynasty leagues everywhere with a similar idealism to build something from scratch that is enduring. They hope to do it with young, homegrown talent and wait for the roster to mature and contend for championships every year, winning multiple titles. Like the men's magazine publisher, these owners believe they'll find core players that give them 8-12 years of starter production.
When these owners are operating at their best, they do a good job of spotting talent and remaining patient. If they hit on 3-5 picks in a period of 3-4 years, they can field a contender for several years.
However, the desire to build an empire straight-up with draft picks and patience makes them patient to a fault. They are reticent to trade young players or draft-picks and when young players don't pan out they have dilemma's with whom to cut. In their minds, they fear they are going to let loose of the wrong player a year before he breaks out.
I know this type of owner well. I looked at him in the mirror for several years before I traded in my burgundy smoking jacket and accepted the fact that the draft is only part of the equation towards building a fantasy winner.
The Realist (Aka - The Miles Davis)
You may not know or like his work, but Miles Davis influenced the direction of popular music in America at least six times between 1945 and 1980. His legacy is rooted in his ability to transition to different styles of music while maintaining his individual voice in a compelling way. For example there's this . . .
. . . and nearly 15 years later:
While he was often perceived as a musician on the forefront of what was new, the fact is that he changed with the times earlier than most. Davis was a realist. He recognized what was working and knew how to build a team around him to create a winning combination. The members of his present teams were often far different than the makeup of the groups that came before, but some had individuals who bridged the gap between seemingly disparate incarnations of music. Saxophonist Wayne Shorter, who is still going strong at 80 years of age, is a great example.
Dynasty realists are like Davis at their best. They tend to refresh the majority of their teams with prime talent every 3-5 years while sticking with a foundation of great players that continue to have long-term viability. Peyton Manning, Tom Brady, and Drew Brees are good examples of football players who parallel Wayne Shorter.
Years in Role x Career
% Elite
In a 12-team league, I define an elite fantasy quarterback in a given year as a top-three producer; a QB1 as a top-12 prospect; a QB2 as a player ranked 13th-24th; a reserve 25th-36th; and a free agent as 37th or lower.
We can debate why Peyton Manning's missed season in 2011 doesn't count as a free agent effort and why Tom Brady's ACL-ruined year does, but the table still communicates the main point rather well: These players have been among the best at anchoring dynasty squads. It's info like this table that I'll be sharing throughout the preseason.
I believe in the merits that idealism and hedonism have when it comes to dynasty team-building, but I think realism does the best job of balancing the positives of both styles. For most, it takes more luck than skill to build a winner based on the ideologies on either side of the spectrum. My current philosophy is rooted mostly here. More on my current approach in a moment.
Hedonism (AKA - The Steven A. Cohen)
I'm probably two weeks away from receiving an email from one of my fellow staffers about this reference explaining that I don't know what I'm talking about, but I'll do my best to portray that I do: Cohen is a star hedge fund manager of SAC Capital. He has built lucrative fund in a short period of time due to aggressive trading strategies.
Whether or not this is a fair portrayal, I'll find out soon enough. For now, Cohen defines the here today, gone tomorrow, play in the moment type of attitude that has helped him win big. His roster (portfolio) has a high churn rate and based on the combined $600 million settlement for two insider trading cases - damn the consequences.
One might argue that banking, big pharma, and dot.com giants have a similar approach. Who cares if we violate government regulations around the world? The fines are so small, it's not even a slap on the wrist - we can bake the penalties into our bookkeeping and keep it moving.
This to me is all about hedonism - living for today. If you want to get into a debate about ethical hedonism email Sigmund Bloom or Bob Magaw, I'm sure they will have plenty to say.
The Hedonistic approach in dynasty leagues is to build a team that wins now. It means acquiring players who are scoring now - damn the consequences. These owners trade draft picks and unproven talents without a bit of concern.
The best owners at this approach seemingly mortgage the future year after year and field a contender. Most have 2-3 good years, go bust for 2-3 years, and hopefully cycle back to contention. I don't usually see many owners make it back to the top of the cycle. In fact, I have seen my share of owners complete the first two phases of this cycle and abandon the team to join another league and do the same thing.
Waldman's Realism
A subheading like this is in grave danger of getting lumped into classic oxymora like military intelligence, smart government, a just war, awfully pretty, and southern justice. However, I'll forge ahead. I am writing this piece as part of a before and after process.
Here is how I have approached dynasty leagues up to this point:
- View Player Viability in Windows of 2-3 Years
- Identify and Acquire Roster Anchors
- Franchise Quarterbacks
- Elite Tight Ends
- Elite Wide Receivers
- Generational Running Back
- Generational Edge Rusher
- Elite Middle Linebacker
- Make Running Backs and Wide Receivers a Draft-Day Priority
- Rarely Trade Offensive Players for Defensive Players
Let's cover these point by point because I bet it will be the detail embedded within these statements that will see the greatest change once I finish studying the data.
Player Windows and Anchors
Almost every football fan has heard the statement that the average NFL career lasts around three years. I don't know the factors used to calculate this number, but I would bet this average career span is weighed down by the number of players who join teams, rarely see a starting lineup, and are quickly out of the league after their first slew of injuries.
At least after studying quarterback data, I can tell you that there are 38 passers in the past 13 years with at least 9 years of tenure as starters. That's three times the average career lifespan if that average career number is correct.
I think it's reasonable to use three years as a career window. It doesn't mean you ditch a player after three years in the league, but I think if you view a player's career in three-year increments you are taking the time to evaluate his career trajectory and make a better assessment of his standing within your dynasty roster
Three years ago, Philip Rivers might have been a player who commanded top-dollar if you dealt him from your roster. Today, he's a player many fantasy owners would give away as part of a package deal.
Using a three-year player window not only helps you determine the value of a player, but the value of a position and whether it qualifies as what I call an "anchor." The more three-year player windows a position has inherent potential to have, the higher the likelihood that player is an anchor (think track and field meaning more than the object that weighs down a boat).
A franchise quarterback like Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, and perhaps Aaron Rodgers, can have 3-5 times the lifespan of the average fantasy starter. They are dynasty league's gold standards. They might be rare to find, but do realize they are all playing in the same era. Insert Brett Favre for Rodgers (20 years of starter production with 16 of them no worse than a QB1) and Dan Marino for Manning and you begin to see how one era bridges another.
One question that I look forward to exploring this summer focuses on the best way to acquire an elite quarterback for a dynasty league. Do you spend draft picks year after year until you hit on one? Do you try to predict who will be the next emerging star and trade for him before he hits? Or, do you pay top-dollar through a trade for an established star? Which method has a better track record of success, efficiency, and overall price?
Answers to these questions with some helpful data to back it up can provide clarity with how to rank quarterbacks in dynasty leagues.
The same reasons that top quarterbacks are fantasy anchor players in my view are why I haven't been giving running backs as much love in recent years. Certainly, if you had Emmitt Smith in the `90s then you hopefully hung onto him long enough to squeeze every bit of top-dollar value from his career.
However, most top running backs are done by the time they reach their early 30s while top quarterbacks have another 1-2 windows of starter production. Those backs who have been exceptions to the rule: Smith, Ladanian Tomlinson, and perhaps Adrian Peterson at this rate, are runners that are beyond elite. I think a better word for this small group of elite runners with more than one window (and up to three windows) of RB1 or elite RB1 play is generational.
In other words, top quarterbacks generally have 1-2 more life spans than top runners. It's a point I want to research further, because it could be valuable to locate the dynamics that are exceptions to the rule.
Back to this term Generational. I'm operating on intuition more than analysis at this point, but I use that word to describe running backs and defensive ends. However, the analysis may lead me to find more commonalities of career windows between ends/outside linebackers and quarterbacks. Maybe I should apply the generational tag to each position.
I've also held the idea that a top wide receiver and/or tight end are of greater dynasty value long-term than a top running back for the same reasons. However, there is something counter intuitive about this point, because we all know that top running back talent can carry a fantasy team.
I think the value of researching the lifespan of players by position in terms of player windows and fantasy tiers such as Generational, Elite, Starter 1, Starter 2, Flex, Reserve, and Free Agent will help me develop a better starting point to appropriately value players in dynasty leagues.
When a reader asks me why I have player X ranked so low compared to other writers, I want to provide context that goes beyond a typical explanation about the player's performance.

Until the very recent present, I would recommend fantasy owners draft rookie quarterbacks. Cam Newton, Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin, and Russell Wilson are four examples why it can pay immediate dividends. However, these four passers don't provide any definitive answers about the future.
It is possible that this quartet is the dawning of a new age where a handful of rookie quarterbacks will have the same kind of impact that we see from first-year running backs and wide receivers. The style of offense coming to the NFL supports that idea.
Yet I worry that if one makes the statement that the style of offense is the true factor then it may deny the gifts that these four quarterbacks displayed early in their careers and overstate the future success rate of rookie passers. Life experience tells us that we often regard the future as brighter than the past even when there's no reason to do so. Depending on your point of view it we can label this tendency a product of faith, optimism, evolution, or foolishness.
At this moment, I think the four quarterbacks I mentioned are rare talents - especially after studying the 2013 class of rookie passers. These first-year quarterbacks aren't a bad group, but for the bottom-line fantasy owner who wants everything simplified, it's how he or she will view this rookie crop in against the 2012 class (fair or not). I think the 2013 quarterback class has potential to surprise, but not from the places most think.
Early Thoughts on Acquiring Dynasty QBs: Pay The Piper
However based on my early research of the historical data, I think there will be good evidence to take an approach with rookie passers that is simple: Don't waste your time; pay top-dollar an established starter.
Some investments are worth the price and unless your league is the kiddie pool compared to the deeper waters where sharks patrol, then you ultimately could spend more resources in terms of years, players, and draft picks acquiring several prospects that don't pan out. I'm going to look into this more, but I'm beginning to think that I'd rather give up two, first-round draft picks and a veteran player or two get Aaron Rodgers in return.
I don't have the exact price figured out, but that hypothetical deal above would beat taking the next 3-4 years drafting quarterbacks in one of the first two rounds that at best give my team borderline QB1 production 2-3 years later when I could have spent that money on positions that hit with a more valuable success rate.
Running backs and wide receivers seem like better overall investments. They are easier to trade and starting lineups require more of them in most leagues. The intuitive thought is that with quarterbacks and tight ends you need to hit the bull's eye because in most leagues you only need one top starter whereas you only need to be "close" with runners and wide receivers.
I want to research defensive players as well. I've always heard the axiom that it's better to trade defensive players for offensive players because it's easier to find talent on that side of the ball and most fantasy league scoring systems favor offense. While I have found this true on the whole, it would still be worthwhile to pinpoint where it isn't the case.
Knowing more about the success rate and growth rate of rookies by position and a position's career success (life) span, as well as learning how to determine a trend moving in a different direction should add more context to ranking decisions in dynasty leagues.
None of this means I'm going to go straight "analytic" with my rankings decisions, but I don't mind incorporating data to provide a framework that I can consciously break from and have an explanation why I'm doing so.
This is what I plan to do this summer. I'll be sharing the information at Footballguys, but it means it's unlikely that you'll see dynasty rankings from me until I am finish and I don't have a timetable for when I will finish. The best-case scenario is that I may have dynasty rankings at the end of the preseason.
However, I believe what I will provide this summer and fall as I research each position will be helpful to those of you in dynasty leagues.

This book examines the treatability of hazardous wastes by different physicochemical treatment processes according to the Quantitative Structure and Activity Relationship (QSAR) between kinetic rate constants and molecular descriptors. The author explores how to use these models to select treatment processes according to the molecular structure of organic pollutants. He covers how to use them to predict treatability of organic pollutants having similar molecular structures by each treatment process in both homogeneous and heterogeneous media. The book is a guide for assessing the treatability of pollutants prior to designing a treatment process and a reference on advanced oxidation processes.Perry, R.H., Green, D.W., and Maloney, J.D., Chemical Engineera#39;s Handbook, 5th ed., McGraw-Hill, New York, 1981. ...

Tribulin (endogenous monoamine oxidase inhibitor/benzodiazepine receptor binding inhibitor) output was measured in the urine of 18 patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and 13 controls. The level of the two inhibitory activities was highly significantly correlated in the group as a whole. There was no difference between output of either inhibitor in patients and controls. However, when the PTSD group was subdivided according to various psychometric ratings, a pattern of output did emerge. Levels of both inhibitory activities were higher in agitated compared with non-agitated subjects, and lower in extroverts compared with introverts. This finding supports the view that tribulin output is raised in conditions of greater arousal.

Hello, I'm Kellie!
I'm a freelance graphic designer and illustrator, mom and puppy dog lover. The Two Pooch Paperie shop began in 2010 when, armed with years of experience in both the social expressions and marketing industry, I decided I needed a shorter work commute. All of my designs and illustrations are created out of my home in Lakewood, Ohio (a suburb of Cleveland).
I hold a BFA in Visual Communications from Kendall College of Arts and Design in Grand Rapids, Michigan and a BFA in English from Michigan State University. I have been working as a Graphic Designer on stationery and invitations since 2003 for companies such as Design Design, Inc. and American Greetings. More recently, I held a position with a marketing/design studio, creating print materials for both large and small businesses. While I still enjoy the marketing end of Graphic Design, my true love is designing stationery and invitations.
The name came to be while on a road trip with my husband and our two lab mixes, Molly and Baxter. It had a good ring to it, so I went with it. Sadly, we said goodbye to Baxter in 2013 but his spirit is still alive in the office of Two Pooch Paperie. And Molly is still here to make sure biscuits get distributed every morning.
This truly is my dream job and I look forward to working with you!

Piyush Srivastava, TT, Lucknow, April 13: A mob of alleged BJP and VHP workers was accused of using physical force on a woman and thrashing her fiancé and his younger brother in Meerut city last night, first in the street and later inside a police station.
Police denied any beating in front of them but acknowledged locking up the brothers when "some BJP workers" brought them to the police station and accused them of "eve-teasing" on the streets.
Sangh parivar vigilantes and police working together to harass couples has become common since chief minister Yogi Adityanath asked the force to form an "anti-Romeo squad" to curb sexual harassment on the streets.
It appears the group had been prowling the streets last night looking out for couples when they saw the woman riding pillion on Harish Rana's scooter.
Harish says he was taking his fiancée home when a mob of "about 50 people" stopped them.
"They caught me by the arm and asked uncomfortable questions. Then they roughed up Harish," the woman, a bank employee, told local journalists today.
"His brother, Avanish, who was following us on another scooter, was roughed up too. The mob took them away and I somehow reached home. But when I came to know they had been beaten up and put inside a lock-up, I went to the police station."
She shouted at the cops for harassing the men "despite a specific instruction from the chief minister that couples shouldn't be harassed".
When both sets of parents too arrived and confirmed that Harish and the woman were engaged to be married, the police released the brothers.
"Some BJP workers had brought two youths, alleging they were eve-teasers. But we realised that it was not true when the woman arrived and lodged a complaint," Dharmendra Kumar, the station house officer at Medical College police station, told reporters.
The police have registered a case against Sagar Singh, Ankit Kumar and Vinod Kumar but not slapped charges of assault or harassment. Instead, they have been booked for "joining or continuing in assembly of five or more persons after it has been commanded to disperse", which carries a fine or a maximum jail sentence of six months. Since the charge is bailable, the accused have not been detained.
"The entire city knows that the attackers were BJP and VHP members. They put us in the lock-up and beat us badly in front of the police," Harish told local reporters.
"But the police booked only three of them, letting off those who were primarily involved in attacking us."
On Tuesday, members of the Hindu Yuva Vahini --- a vigilante group formed by Adityanath 15 years ago --- had barged into a house in Meerut's Shastri Nagar area and roughed up a young Muslim man and a girl belonging to another faith.
Media reports say that BJP, VHP, Bajrang Dal and Vahini workers are "guiding" the police in "identifying street Romeos".
Javeed Ahmad, state director-general of police, has issued three circulars asking his force not to let "private people" harass couples in the name of the "anti-Romeo squad". Adityanath too said last week that couples mustn't be harassed.

In London last night Net-A-Porter.com and Mr Porter.com hosted a party to celebrate Dolce & Gabbana joining the forever expanding list of brands on their virtual shelves.
Celebs donned in their finest Dolce & Gabbana treads to join in the celebrations at Net-A-Porter HQ.
Naomi Campbell: The supermodel and long-term friend of Mr Dolce and Mr Gabbana wore an animal print chiffon halter dress with black Alaia cut-out suede sandals.
Alexandra Burke: The British singer opted to wear a dark pink Dolce & Gabbana strapless lace bustier which she teamed with black lace Dolce & Gabbana peep-toes and a gold clutch. The clutch is really not working for me. Like really really not working for me.
Jamie Winstone: As you know I have a soft spot for Jamie. The British actress is never boring on the red carpet. She opted to wear a colourful Dolce & Gabbana floral print satin dress which she paired with Michael van der Ham blue devore wedges, which were worn over black socks. I was going to say that her shoe choice is shocking, but everyone else opted for black heels so I should be grateful she did something different. Read More…

Blog the Change: Say No to Pets in Hot Cars
Blog the Change is a pet bloggers movement that supports animal welfare causes. Since summer is in full swing, I wanted to focus on pets in hot cars for our post.
Every year, you hear and read stories in the news about a dog that was left in the car on a sunny day and did not survive. What is most unfortunate is that these tragedies are completely preventable and happen to dogs that are very loved.
Most readers of this blog post already know not to leave their pets and children in warm cars. So rather than touting about how quickly cars heat up, how cracking the windows doesn't help and how you should leave your pet at home, we want to focus on taking action!
It may not be your dog trapped in a hot car, but chances are that you may be a witness to someone else's dog suffering in a hot car.
What you can do:
- Speak with the store manager. They may be able to help you locate the pet owner.
- Call animal control or the police. This is a serious matter and an animal's life is at risk.
- If animal control is slow to respond, find a witness or a few who can back you up and take measures to remove the animal from the car.
- Don't leave the scene until the situation has been resolved.
Every minute counts, and as an animal lover, it's your responsibility to take action if you see a pet suffering in a hot car. Together, we can reduce the number of pet deaths from hot cars this summer!

Chronic pruritus requires careful evaluation for primary dermatologic or systemic causes. In addition to treatment of the underlying cause, when identified, various topical and systemic therapies may be used, although supporting data from randomized trials are scarce. The latest article in our Clinical Practice series comes from Dr. Gil Yosipovitch of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center.
Chronic pruritus is associated with markedly reduced quality of life; a recent study demonstrated that chronic itch is as debilitating as chronic pain. Deranged sleep patterns and mood disturbances including anxiety and depression are common, and may further exacerbate itch.
Clinical Pearls
• What is the definition and epidemiology of chronic pruritus?
Chronic pruritus, defined as itch persisting for more than 6 weeks, is common. It may involve the entire skin (generalized pruritus) or only particular areas such as the scalp, upper back, arms, or groin (localized pruritus). Chronic pruritus increases with age, is more common in women than in men, and in Asians more than in Caucasians.
• What are the causes of chronic pruritus?
Chronic pruritus is characteristic of several dermatologic diseases (e.g., atopic eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, and scabies) but also occurs in a variety of nondermatologic disorders. The causes of chronic pruritus can be broadly categorized into four major groups: dermatologic; systemic (e.g., cholestasis, chronic kidney disease, myeloproliferative disorders, and hyperthyroidism); neurologic (e.g., notalgia paresthetica [a distinctive itch of the upper back] and brachioradial pruritus [a characteristic itch of the arms], probably caused by spinal nerve impingement); and psychogenic. Itching of any type may elicit secondary skin changes thanks to scratching, rubbing, and picking, and thus the presence of skin findings does not rule out a systemic cause. Excoriation and nonspecific dermatitis can camouflage both cutaneous and noncutaneous causes of itch.
Morning Report Questions
Q: What is the appropriate evaluation of a patient with chronic pruritus?
A: The first step in the evaluation of chronic pruritus is to determine if the itch can be attributed to a dermatologic disease, or whether an underlying noncutaneous cause is present. A detailed review of systems and a thorough drug history should be performed. Pruritus is sometimes the first manifestation of systemic diseases such as Hodgkin's disease or primary biliary cirrhosis, antedating other symptoms by months or longer. The skin should be examined carefully to assess for primary skin lesions. It should be recognized that excoriations, nonspecific dermatitis, prurigo nodularis, and LSC (lichen simplex chronicus) are secondary lesions, for which an underlying cause should be sought. Excessively dry skin (xerosis) usually presents with minimally detectable changes, but erythematous and scaly inflammatory patches may develop. In addition to the history and physical examination, screening studies are suggested should include a CBC (complete blood count) with differential, tests of hepatic, renal, and thyroid function, and a chest radiograph. An HIV test and sedimentation rate should also be considered.
Figure 3. Diagnostic Workup for Chronic Pruritus.
Q: What is the role for neuroactive medications in the treatment of chronic pruritus?
A: Gabapentin and pregabalin, structural analogues of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, are effective for several types of pruritus. In controlled trials in patients with CKD (chronic kidney disease) pruritus, low doses of gabapentin (100 to 300 mg three times a week) were significantly more effective in reducing itch than placebo. Case reports have described their use in practice to reduce neuropathic itch such as post herpetic itch, brachioradial pruritus, and prurigo nodularis, although there are no controlled studies of these conditions. The mechanisms of action are unclear. The most frequent adverse effects are constipation, weight gain, drowsiness, ataxia and blurred vision.

Earlier today, we shared some specifications for the upcoming HTC Droid Incredible 4G, a device that will likely hitting Verizon sometime this spring, possibly on April 26th. The device will be the third device in the Incredible series following the massively popular Droid Incredible and last year's Droid Incredible 2, which we thought was one of the best 3G smartphones ever made.
Back to those specs.
There were two main specifications confirmed by some NenaMark benchmarks. The first, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor and the second, a qHD display.
Neither are impressive and my question now is: "Why?"
Read: Droid Incredible 2 Review (Video) – Verizon Wireless.
Why on earth would HTC and Verizon not shoot for a fantastic device here? I can live with the dual-core processor, a processor that is probably dual-core because HTC and Verizon would have to wait a lot longer to push this phone out if they wanted to include quad-core.
But, qHD?
The earlier Droid Incredibles were incredibly solid phones. The only thing missing on the Droid Incredible 2 was 4G LTE. But you would think that a year later, after releasing a phone called the HTC Rezound in 2011 which features a 720p display, that HTC would grace the Droid Incredible with such a screen.
For some, that's not a big deal.
But it frustrates me.
A 720p 4-inch display with Android 4.0 and 4G LTE?
That sounds like a winning combination to me and one that I would certainly have to take a long hard look at if I were in need of a new Android phone. Droid-Life thinks it might be because Verizon wants to cut costs and possibly market the phone as the first global-ready 4G LTE smartphone.
Great, but why do that to one of the best Droid smartphones ever made? Why sell it short? For me, the 4-inch display is the ideal size for a smartphone screen. In fact, I am hoping that Apple bumps the screen size of the next iPhone up to 4-inches.
Right now, the Android lineup is made up of monstrosities. The Galaxy Nexus, arguably the best Android phone on the market, has a massive display. The Galaxy S II's have massive displays. The Galaxy S III supposedly has a huge screen. The upcoming HTC One X will have a 4.3-inch display, which by the way, will feature 720p quality.
The Droid Incredible truly has an opportunity to stand out at that 4-inch size, but it will not with a qHD display. I'm sorry. If I had a choice between a 720p display and a qHD display, I would choose the 720p display every time.
So I guess what this means is that HTC and Verizon are shooting for the mid-range with this device. Sad, because two years ago, the Incredible was at the very top of the Android ladder.
And if this is the final Droid Incredible, and it might be because of HTC's One Series re-branding, I think it deserves better than last year's tech.
I realize that it hasn't been announced yet and things could change, but from the looks of it, we'll be getting a mediocre Droid Incredible that will likely give mediocre sales.
And here I thought HTC was trying to focus on building better hardware and improving its numbers.

Was it just too good to be true for Sasquatch fans? Last weeks trifecta of seemingly bonifide Bigfoot evidence: Not one but two separate sightings and emerging DNA testing on Sasquatch tissues samples. It appeared to all the world that science was finally solving the Sasquatch question.
But now comes a doubting Thomas. Indeed, writer Sharon Hill actually edits a website called DoubtfulNews.com. And the researcher and scientific consultant has just published a long article in the Huffington Post debunking the latest Bigfoot news, point by point.
But before we get to that, lets review what had Bigfoot believers walking on air last week.
a man in Bradford, Pa., claimed to have seen Sasquatch roaming around a state park there
, and he shot a video that purports to prove it.
Then, during the Sasquatch Genome Project convention in Dallas, Texas,
experts unveiled what they said were snapshots of Sasquatch catching a snooze in the woods in Kentucky.
Meanwhile, the 5-year, $500,000 genome project updated the world on its effect to conduct DNA testing on Sasquatch tissue samples.
In short, it was an earth-shaking week in Sasquatch circles, as if the big guy were jumping up and down and rattling the ground himself.
Now comes the cold water.
Doubting scientist Sharon Hill writes: We've been duped. Again. As usual.
Turns out that before the Sasquatch sighting in Bradford County, there was a Bigfoot Calling Contest at the Kinzua Bridge Festival there, she reports. And as Hill points out, this can be no mere coincidence:
"The next day, a man and his girlfriend reported they were leaving Kinzua Bridge State Park on a road bordering forest land when they spotted dark shapes back in the trees. The eyewitness noted, "At first they seemed to be moving towards us, and then they appeared to turn and head away at a slow pace." They concluded the two dark shapes could be Bigfoot.
"Sounds fascinating, right? Well, the pictures were less than impressive and immediately put one in mind of a tree stump or uprooted soil and root ball. Due to the report of movement, it also appeared that we could be looking at people in gorilla suits or black bears"
Hill goes on to skewer the goings on at the Sasquatch Genome Project, refusing to label any of it real science:
"On Oct. 1, Melba Ketchum and Adrian Erickson held a press conference announcing additional evidence that Bigfoot is real. Along with several other Sasquatch researchers, they showed a "never before seen HD [high definition] video" purportedly of Bigfoot. Erickson was responsible for the video as part of his project to document the creatures. Additional support was provided by Ketchum who had completed a study of Bigfoot DNA which was published in the online "journal" DeNovo.
"It's not accurate to call DeNovo a journal since Ketchum's paper is the first and only thing it ever published. Yet, since her paper had been supposedly reviewed by Nature journal and summarily rejected, Ketchum passed it to another journal that supposedly accepted it but chose NOT to publish. That was her story. So, apparently tired of this peer review stuff, shady dealings that are not altogether clarified strongly suggest Ketchum had a hand in repurposing and renaming the journal DeNovo. It sprung from nowhere as the publisher of the Ketchum et al paper. Ketchum then claims in the media coverage that her study was "peer reviewed" insinuating that it makes the study legitimate and credible (as if that means it's valid -- it doesn't).
So what do you believe?
Did scientist Sharon Hill and her cold cup of water convince you?
Or you among those who peer deep into the woods and just know that something is out there?
You have the final word on the Sasquatch controversy in the comments.

SAN FRANCISCO -- City officials introduced a bill Tuesday aimed at closing a loophole that gives banks a tax break when foreclosing on a home.
The Foreclosure Fairness Ordinance, co-sponsored by virtually every progressives on the Board of Supervisors, would eliminate a provision in the tax code exempting lenders foreclosing on a home from paying the real estate transfer tax normally required when a property changes hands.
"There's something rotten in Denmark, rather San Francisco, when it comes to the high rate of foreclosures in the city," Supervisor John Avalos said at a press conference announcing the legislation. Avalos, who introduced the bill at the request of San Francisco Assessor-Recorder Phil Ting, insisted the measure is less about raising revenue than about keeping people in their homes.
During years with low foreclosure rates (like 2005), the bill would only generate a few hundred thousand dollars. But in years that see a high volume of foreclosures (like 2011), San Francisco could raise an additional $8 million.
Avalos told the story about a medical emergency that pushed him to the brink of losing his home to foreclosure. With the help of an outside group, he was able to secure a loan modification and keep the property. "It definitely helped that I was an elected official," he said, "but I want everyone to have the same opportunity I had."
The measure's backers hope eliminating the exemption would give banks a financial incentive to pursue loan modifications instead of foreclosures.
"I've been working on this issue for seven years," said Ting, who became a national figure after releasing a report revealing that 84 percent of foreclosures in San Francisco were, in some way, executed illegally. "Everybody loses when you have a foreclosure--the homeowner, the bank and the city."
"This is not a symbolic gesture," added Supervisor Malia Cohen, whose historically African American district of the Bayview has been especially hard-hit. "This is a way for the city to step up where banks have failed us."
This bill isn't the first time the Board of Supervisors has gone on record opposing the wave of foreclosures that hit the city following the collapse of the housing bubble.
In April, officials unanimously passed a non-binding resolution calling for a moratorium on foreclosures until additional homeowner protections are enacted.
Many on the Board are hoping those protections, which range from prohibiting the much-loathed practice of dual-tracking to making it easier to prosecute against financial crimes, come in the form of the California's passing the Homeowners Bill of Rights proposed by state Attorney General Kamala Harris.
The legislature has already passed two of Harris's six bills and is currently waiting to hear the other four.
Since California law requires voters to approve all local tax measures, once this initiative passes the Board of Supervisors, it will then appear on the November ballot.
Full Disclosure: The author was briefly an unpaid intern on Kamala Harris 2003 campaign for San Francisco District Attorney

Review: Office 365's Delve, Sway and Planner fall flat
Microsoft really, really wants to own all of your office work, so it keeps finding new tools it hopes you will add to your Office 365 portfolio. (All require an Office 365 account to use.) The latest are Delve for file discovery, Sway for modern-style presentations, and Planner for task management. But are they any good?Â
Microsoft's productivity tools have long been the standard for word processing (Word), spreadsheets (Excel), presentations (PowerPoint), and email/calendar/contacts (Outlook -- on Windows, anyhow). Office 365 extends those tools across users and devices in truly handy, if complex ways.

Top spots around the world for a destination wedding
If you're thinking about a destination wedding, we don't want you to settle for just any old stretch of sand. We're sharing our picks for some of the tops spots around the world to tie the knot.
We asked romance travel specialist Brenda L Young, who specializes in destination weddings and honeymoons to exotic beach destinations, for her insight into some of the top spots to get married.
If you want to stay close to home and have a hassle-free wedding, Jamaica is a great option. "After 24 hours, $50 for a marriage license and certified copies of both of your birth certificate and passport, you can be legally married on the beach or in the mountains," says Young. "There are locations and resorts to accommodate all tastes and budgets."
For an unforgettable location and ease of wedding legal requirements Hawaii is another great choice — and a popular one. "A fee of $60 and a photo ID are all that are required to legally marry in the 50th U.S. state, and since there are no passports required for U.S. citizens it makes it very easy for guests to travel," notes Young. "The wonderful choices of locations include marrying on a cliff overlooking the ocean, at the foot of a volcano or at one of their many botanical gardens."
Puerto Rico
Although getting married in Puerto Rico requires a blood test as part of the marriage license requirements, most of the wedding planners onsite can handle it easily so you don't need to worry, says Young. "Perfect for couples that want to get married on an island not far from home and don't want too much of a hassle, Puerto Rico is perfect as it is just a few hours from the East coast and passports are not required," she adds. "Ideal for history buffs, couples can marry on an Old Spanish Fort at sunset or on one of the many beautiful golden beaches."
Although not legally binding since you'll still need to legally get married at home, the Maldives is still a great spot to celebrate with your close friends and family. "You can have a symbolic ceremony overwater or even underwater at one of the many underwater restaurants or clubs," suggests Young. More and more couples are choosing the exotic Maldives as a top spot for luxe beach honeymoons, anniversaries and of course, weddings.
South Africa
Without any residency requirements or blood tests, marrying in South Africa is very easy. Why choose this spot? It offers a great range of venues and impressive locations, depending on what you're after. "Perfect for couples that love the outdoors and are adventurous, you can marry on a mountaintop or in a game preserve complete with lion's roars in the background," says Young.
Costa Rica
A very popular country for adventure travelers and nature lovers, Costa Rica makes it easy on marrying couples due to the minimal hassle tying the knot there requires. It's also a diverse location that offers something different without having to go too far, explains Young. "Costa Rica blends the perfect balance of an exotic location that includes rain forests, volcanoes and plenty of activities for your guests."
Aside from having what Young describes as the friendliest people on the planet, Fiji's marriage requirements are easy to obtain. "The beautiful island landscape along with the wonderful people make it difficult to leave," she notes. "Not to mention an excellent currency exchange in favor of the dollar makes it a good location as far as value."
Seychelles Islands
For couples looking for something different and memorable, Young says that the Seychelles Islands can offer exactly what they're looking for. "Best known recently as the location of Prince William's honeymoon, the Seychelles are a truly magical location. From the huge granite boulders that decorate some of the most photographed beaches in the world, to unique hilltops overlooking ocean coves, the wedding locations available are incredible," she tells us. Simple marriage requirements also make it another easy location to get married, as there are no blood tests required and the residency requirement is only two days.

Mold is suspect in building closure
By Noel Lyn Smith
Navajo Times
WINDOW ROCK, Sept. 26, 2011
(Special to the Times - Donovan Quintero)
The building, which houses the Division of Finance, was ordered closed "indefinitely" on Sept. 9 by the Navajo Nation Occupational Safety and Health Administration, which enforces federal and tribal workplace safety laws.
Last Friday about 30 employees stood outside Admin No. 1 with empty boxes, waiting for Incident Management Team members to retrieve documents from the building.
Each department was asked to provide a priority list of essential documents needing retrieval.
A female employee who declined to identify herself said she smelled a "glue like" substance days before the closure. Other employees declined to comment and referred questions to the Incident Management Team.
Before entering the building, retrieval team members dressed in white protective suits and sterile gloves.
A clean room was set up inside and the requested items were brought into that room for decontamination before being removed from the building.
Incident Management Team members returned to the site Monday to continue the remediation process.
NOSHA Director Patrick Sandoval said the investigation and subsequent closure of the building was prompted by complaints from employees.
"It's the employee's right to have a safe working environment but it's the employer's responsibility to provide that environment," Sandoval said.
This is the second time the building was closed due to mold in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, where mold spores can be sprayed into the air and inhaled by occupants. The first closure was Sept. 1-5.
As crucial documents were being retrieved last week, Dave Nez with the tribe's Public Health Emergency Preparedness Office explained that an independent Arizona state-certified microbiologist collected samples to analyze and the results will be released to the Incident Management Team.
Nez said the building had water stains on interior walls and some inside paneling showed signs of bacteria or fungus growth. The mold, which can cause severe respiratory problems, thrives in dark, damp conditions.
Based on assessment reports, a large contributor to the problem is the declining condition of the roof and seepage of moisture into the building, according to an Incident Management Team press release.
The exact age of the building is unknown by most officials estimate it is about 30 years old. It has a history of problems, including a waterline break in 2007 that caused significant water damage.
Executive Office Communications Director Laphillda Tso said Tuesday that the test results had not been released. After they are received the Incident Management Team will determine how to remediate the building, she said, adding that an update on the situation was expected Wednesday.
Potential hazard
Mold colonies can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours and reproduce by releasing tiny spores that float through the air until landing in other locations, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Mold will continue to grow until steps are taken to eliminate the source of moisture and kill the existing colony.
Only certain molds are toxigenic, which means they can produce toxins but are not toxic by themselves.
It is the mold's ability to destroy organic material that makes it a health problem for people.
Typical symptoms reported from mold exposure include respiratory problems, nasal and sinus congestion or coughing, irritation to the eyes, nose, throat or skin, headaches and body pains.
Individual with existing respiratory conditions, infants, children, pregnant women, and the elderly are at higher risks for adverse health effects, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
There is no way to eliminate mold but it can be kept to a minimum by preventing moisture from collecting inside. Water seepage, whether from an old roof, leaking pipe, or poor drainage, should never be ignored. Fix leaks immediately and dry out the area that got wet.
No routine inspections
"The Navajo Nation is obligated and liable for upkeep and maintenance services to ensure a safe and healthy work environment for its employees," according to information posted on the Division of General Services Web site.
However, the tribe does not conduct routine inspections on tribal buildings, said Facilities Management Department Manager Marcus Tulley. Tulley's department provides repairs and maintenance services to 625 tribal-owned facilities across the Navajo Nation.
Tulley said his department does maintenance service on buildings but only when an employee reports a problem or if an order is issued by NOSHA, the Office of Environmental Health, or the Safety and Loss Control Program.
Information about the closure of Administration Building No. 1 is posted at the building's entrances in addition to copies of the order of closure.
Programs relocated
The programs housed there have been relocated as follows:
- Most of the controller's office is now operating out of the Dine Education Center auditorium.
- The Credit Services Department is located at the Ethics and Rules conference room.
- Both the Cashier's Department and some Accounts Payable staff have relocated to Property Management Department in Fort Defiance.
- Most of the Office of Management and Budget is housed in the Department of Information Technology, but OMB's Contracts and Grants section is located at the Department of Behavioral Health Services conference room in Administration Building No. 2.
- Administration staff for the Division of General Services is in the Department of Information Technology.
- The Insurances Services Department, and Employee Benefits and Workers Compensation programs are located at the Safety Loss Control Program office inside the Navajo Nation Shopping Center.
- Risk Management is located at the Navajo Nation Museum.
- The Design and Engineering Services Program is located at the Division of Community Development conference room in Administration Building No. 2 but the project management staff is located at the Rural Addressing Office at Navajo Nation Shopping Center.
- The Department of Personnel Management is located at the Training Center.
Most departments have retained the same telephone number and people may call them, or the president's office, for location information, Tso said. The president's office also instructed KTNN to announce the relocations.
"We asked them to send out information daily because it's public information and to relieve the stress on the public that comes out to these departments," she said.
The building may be closed, but shuttering the Division of Finance was never an option, said Herman Shorty, director of the Office of Environmental Health.
"That's the heartbeat of the Navajo Nation," he said. "Everything that is key to the Navajo Nation is associated with that building, so you can't close down operations."comments powered by Disqus

CCV Safety Check
Each year the Dutch Center for Crime Prevention and Safety (CCV) performs the Safety Check campaign, in which owners of small businesses all over the country are surveyed on location on how secure their stores are. This results in a number of pointers on how to improve their store's safety.
Our mission was to revive the general interest in the campaign as well as create more meaningful advice for the recipients. By creating an augmented reality survey app TWNKLS has devised a fresh new way of supporting the surveyor in giving contextual insights that truly matter to the shop owner.
We came together with the CCV to analyze their current strategy and devise a way to improve on that. Previously the survey was done with men in the street that had a form to fill in and gave some general pointers. This was found to be too abstract for both the surveyor and the store owner.
So we made an app that guides the surveyor through their analysis of the shop's safety using a clean and simple interface. On top of that we capture the shop's context to give safety advice directly on the affected areas. So if, for example, your cash register is easy to look into — the Safety Check app not only shows the dangers of that, but also shows how to improve your situation.
All of this empowers the surveyor in his conversation with the shop owner, and also gives that shop owner a clear and graphical overview of how to improve and why.
After a few months in the field our app has received overwhelmingly positive reactions. The surveyors felt well aided by how the app supported their analysis, whereas store owners were impressed by the insightful advices given. This resulted in a large increase in both successful Safety Checks as well in major media coverage for the whole campaign. By applying user insights to our AR know-how TWNKLS has not only created the entirely new category of augmented surveys, but also helped make the world a safer place!
Curious? Feel free to contact us to see how we can make augmented reality work for you!

How to Negotiate a Higher Paralegal Salary
I'd like to get paid more than my current paralegal salary, but I know the job market still isn't great. What's the best way to ask for a pay increase in a still recovering economy?
Although the nation's economy is stronger than it has been in several years, it's still not so robust that law firms have extra money to spend on company-wide raises. Still, that doesn't mean you have to settle for the same paralegal salary year after year. You should definitely ask your manager for a pay increase, especially if it's been several years since your last one – but you have to be strategic about it. Here are some things to keep in mind as you prepare and deliver your pitch.
Prove Your Worth
Before approaching your manager tonegotiate a salary boost, think about recent instances that demonstrate you're worth more to the firm than what you're currently being paid. For starters, ask yourself these questions:
- Do the firm's lawyers see you as an indispensable team member withspecialized knowledge? Jot down specific examples of how you've supported them in this capacity. Look through your email and written correspondences for thank-you messages that describe a job especially well done.
- Have you recently completed courses that boosted your skills, such as tech training andcontinuing legal education?
- Have you helped the firm in gaining a new client or retaining an especially valuable one? How much was this effort worth?
- Have you saved the company time or money by implementing new practices? Write down how, and how much.
- Have you recently taken on tasks that are not in your original job description?
These questions are just a springboard. With this exercise, you can determine your increasing worth to the firm and provide the tangible evidence that proves you deserve a higher paralegal salary.
Research the Market Rates
Before you ask for a raise, you should have an amount in mind. Find the latest salary range for your position and ZIP code by running the data through Robert Half Legal'sSalary Calculator. The Robert Half Legal2014 Salary Guide, which includes information on current hiring trends, is also a great resource.
If your paralegal salary is below themarket rate, you'll have a very strong case, especially if you can also show how your value has increased since your last raise or since you were first hired. Even if your pay is already at or near the high end, you can still ask for an increase. Just focus on the fact that you're worth more than your present salary based on your many invaluable contributions to the firm.
How to Make your Case
There's no doubt that asking for a salary increase can be nerve-wracking. That's why it's important to role-play the scenario with a friend before you walk into your boss's office. Like a good litigator, anticipate possible questions and prepare your responses. In addition, document all the information you've gathered about your increased value to the firm and about the average regional salary for your position.
When you do sit down with your manager, start off the meeting by emphasizing how much you enjoy your job. Then go through all the reasons why you feel you merit a raise. Finally, present your desired salary and back it up with data.
Even though the economy is still recovering, it's possible to successfully negotiate a pay increase. The keys are to do your research, gather the data, practice negotiating and make a watertight case for why you deserve a higher paralegal salary.
