The 5 Best Dog Walking Harness
A hard and fast rule: Most dogs need to wear a harness when you walk them. Because, even the strongest dog leashes are only effective if they're not putting extra strain and pressure on your pup's neck. So, what makes for the best dog harnesses for walking?
First, look for a product made from strong, durable material that will last. It should have some degree of padding to keep your pup comfy, but also be made of a fabric that won't rub or chafe. To avoid hot spots or irritated skin, find something with smooth buckles and quality hardware, as well.
Another thing to think about is fit. Consider how big your dog is and select your size accordingly. Make sure the straps are adjustable so you can tighten it up to fit their particular body shape. Lastly, keep in mind your dog's lifestyle. Do you guys hike a lot or take long runs through the city? In that case you might want something with extra features like pockets or carry pouches. If you walk at night, something with lights will be helpful.
But, regardless of what you're looking for, the size of your pup, or your specific needs, I've got you covered. To assist you with your search, here's a list of the best dog walking harnesses for every type of pup.
1. The Best Harness For Small Dogs
This small dog harness has over 6,000 reviews on Amazon, and is constructed with soft 100-percent polyester. The neck opening has cozy padding around it to help it go on smoother and the quality air mesh keeps it ventilated so your pup doesn't overheat. While it does come in multiple sizes, the small and extra-small options are the best for small dogs. Reviewers concur: "This is a very well made, comfortable harness. Both my small dogs wear this Puppia model (in different sizes) and they have worked out very well, even as car safety harnesses." But, the same Amazon reviewer cautions, "However: BEWARE OF THE SIZE CHARTS -- what the chart calls "neck size" is the actual size of the opening."
- Available Sizes: Extra-Small — Extra-Large
2. The Best Harness For Large Dogs
This popular dog harness for big dogs is built with durable fabric, reflective striping, and thick padding to keep your pup comfortable while wearing it. It has two strong metal leash attachments on the back and chest with adjustable straps that glide smoothly for a custom fit, and make it a solid pick for larger dogs. As a bonus, there's an extra handle on the back you can use to grab them with if they start darting after small creatures or fellow pups. The large and extra-large sizes are great options for bigger dogs, depending on their breed.
- Available Sizes: Small — Extra-Large
3. The Best Harness For Extra Hard Pullers
This no-pull dog harness features a clever front buckle that helps you control your pup if they tug, along with two zinc-alloy rings that lift pressure from your dog's neck. On top of that, it has a grab handle to reign them in if they start getting aggressive with their pulling. The harness is made with smooth nylon webbing and 3M reflective material that provides visibility at night. "I use this with my pitbull cross," said one Amazon user. "We no longer get into tug of war matches on walks because this gently turns him and keeps me in control much easier when he sees a squirrel."
- Available Sizes: Small — Extra-Large
4. The Best Harness With Pockets
For pet owners who love to go jogging with their dog or bring along things like house keys, wallets, dog treats, or poop bags, this sturdy harness features pockets to hold your belongings. The pouches fit over the sides of the harness like saddlebags and can be removed to make it lighter on days you don't have anything to carry. Best of all, they're easy to attach to the harness with simple Velcro and the single-click closure system is a breeze to adjust.
- Available Sizes: Medium — Large
5. The Best Harness For Night Walks
This glowing dog harness is constructed with built-in LED lights that are visible from half a mile away. The lights are designed with soft fiber optic cables that crank out 360 degrees of illumination, making both you and your pup safer as you stroll. You can rotate between eight colors by clicking a button on the harness, and choose between steady states or multi-color flashing modes. The harness is available in medium, large, and extra-large sizes. While this one is specifically better for medium and large dogs, if you have a smaller pup, you can opt for a smaller version. "Probably the BEST dog light I have ever bought," said one pleased reviewer. "It is VERY bright, and I love the ease of a USB mini charger instead of fiddling with batteries."
- Available Sizes: Small — Extra-Large

Whether youre a new visitor to the area or have lived in Santa Barbara your entire life, there are many fun things for you do in this lovely part of California. The obvious activities are connected to the great outdoors and natural environment, from biking, to swimming or watching dolphins and whales swimming from the deck of one of the boats offering cruises around the waters just off the coastline. But theres a side of Santa Barbara thats away from the ocean, and its full of interesting things to do on your vacation.
The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum which focuses on marine life is one such place. Alternatively, the Museum of Natural History is home to eleven different exhibit halls, containing many birds, mammals, insects and much more. Paleontology will be busy trying to discover what it is theyve found, while you examine all of the marine life theyve discovered. As you tour the building, dont be shocked when you turn a corner only to discover many varieties of reptiles! The museums planetarium is a fascinating place to visit and even has introduction to astronomy shows for children.
Animals are another big attraction at the Santa Barbara Zoological Gardens where youll be able to see over 700 animals from across the globe, not to mention walk amongst the beautiful gardens. Built in 1817, the Casa de La Guerra is still standing and a very interesting place for anyone with a passion for history, but if railways are more your thing, take a look at the Stow House & Railroad Museum. Wine aficionados however will be looking to travel a little bit further north of the main Santa Barbara area where they can find the local vineyards.
Although Santa Barbara is well known for its ocean views and lifestyle, theres more to the area than just sand, sun and water its a place where you can spend some of your time enjoying the beach, and the other part of it checking out the other various activities the area has to offer.

Piketon massacre: Marijuana 'grow operations' found at scenes of family executions
Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine said the Friday killings of the eight victims — all members of the Rhoden family of Piketon — was a "pre-planned execution."
RELATED: Eight dead in 'execution style' killings: Ohio officials
"It was a sophisticated operation. And those who carried it out were trying to do everything that they could do to hinder the investigation and their prosecution," DeWine said, as authorities scoured Piketon for a suspect or suspects.
He said few details about the results of the search would be shared so that they investigation would not be hindered. He would not say whether a suspect or suspects had been identified.
"We will continue to provide you with information in regard to what we are doing. What we are not going to be able to do is provide you results," DeWine told reporters.
"We will not be telling the bad guys everything that we know."
He later clarified that he didn't mean "bad guys" to specifically imply that there was more than one assailant.

By Julia Edwards
May 4 (Reuters) - Following a week of racially charged protests in Baltimore, U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday said obstacles facing minority men from birth put them in a position of having "the odds stacked against them."
Obama said black and Latino men feel that disadvantage, and he credited their sense of frustration about their lives and opportunities for the intensity of recent protests around the country.
He spoke at Lehman College in the Bronx to announce the launch of My Brother's Keeper Alliance, a nonprofit organization that is a spinoff of a White House initiative to increase opportunities for young minority men.
"That sense of unfairness, powerlessness, people not hearing their voices, that's helped fuel some of the protests that we've seen in places like Baltimore, Ferguson and right here in New York," Obama said, referring to demonstrations that followed the deaths of unarmed black men after interactions with police.
Obama said he would continue to work on the issue after his presidency, a possible foreshadowing of his future involvement with My Brother's Keeper Alliance.
"We see ourselves in these young men," Obama said of himself and the leaders of My Brother's Keeper Alliance.
The nonprofit, to be headed by Joe Echevarria, former chief executive of consultancy Deloitte, will develop guidance for companies to increase access to jobs for racial minorities.
Companies including American Express Co, Pepsi Co and News Corp have committed a combined total of $80 million in money and in-kind donations to My Brother's Keeper Alliance.
Rules around fundraising for My Brother's Keeper Alliance while Obama is still in office are likely to be scrutinized. Questions have been raised about the influence donors to the Clinton Foundation wielded while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said My Brother's Keeper Alliance will be responsible for determining its own fundraising policies. (Additional reporting by Emily Stephenson; Editing by Sandra Maler and Eric Walsh)

Suitable Hobbies for Kids and How to Find Them
Cool Hobbies That Help Develop Your Kid's Learning
It is a great joy for parents if their child is doing well at school. One of the challenges of getting kids to perform well at school is letting them see the importance of education at a young age. It is normal for children to want to play and have fun with their friends instead of staying at home, sulking at the heap of school work.
As a parent, you'll be able to tap productivity in kids is through their hobbies. The best hobbies need not be the most expensive and the most unique. It should be where kids find the most enjoyable while learning a lot from it. The key to finding the most suitable hobby for your children is your depth of knowing everything about them. If you are still not certain as to what hobbies your children have then it is high time for you to take a day off and spend more time with them.
For you to successfully manage your children in choosing the right hobby, you should primarily know what kids want, their reactions to things, as well as their related searches on YouTube and the internet, their idols, and the music that they play. This will surely give you a clue on what hobbies to introduce to them. You can even check their behavior and relate it to your own. There is a big possibility that you and your child have the same liking on things.
Once we know our children's current hobbies, we can evaluate them and see if we can add or enhance more to these interests to better facilitate growth and development.
Making a list of hobbies takes a lot of time to do, so we offer our own list to give you some ideas that you can use.
Take advantage of children's books where a lot of visualization is needed to keep your children interested in reading. Encourage your kid to read the book aloud, just like story-telling.
Outdoor activities
If your child does a lot of kicking on household things, shooting paper balls to the trash bins, or running around your house for a good three miles per day, then you can channel that energy to sports, camping, and early morning exercise.
Item collection
If your kids like to collect leaves from different trees or stamps from different countries, encourage them to know more about it by asking them the specifics of the items. They will gladly give you a lecture in return.
Arts and crafts
Children love to make up things. They dig in to everything that has to do with fantasy. The crafts that they make are bizarre and unique.
Boost the creativity in them by trying out these craft ideas:
- Drawing. Give more encouragement by concretizing the things that they have to draw.
- Building. You will be amazed at how much ideas your child has in their brains.
- Puzzles. Whether it is in pictures or solving mysteries by finding missing things, make it enjoyable and achievable.
- Scrapbooking. Keep your kids amused by making their memories more memorable. This is a kind of hobby kids would really appreciate especially if they are into designs.
Hobbies are windows to your children's inner desires when the time comes that they have to choose a career path. Many of us tend to overlook these things when in fact, it is where we should work on. As early as now, think of hobby ideas for your kids that you can create out of your observations to their passion. Do not limit yourselves by limiting your child's capabilities.

High Uric Acid Foods to avoid to Stop Gout Attacks Ruining Your Life
Want to know the high uric acid foods to prevent if you have gout, and want to prevent future attacks? Here, you'll discover a list of food to avoid, plus, a list of reduced uric acid foods it is possible to eat as a gout sufferer.
WHAT are the Causes of HIGH URIC ACID?
Order to understand this, you need to be familiar with natural chemical compounds that all of us have in our bodies, and, that also is out there in our foods. These materials are called "purines". They are essential in the process to provide us with our protein and energy.
During this process, however, purines actually breakdown, and one of the byproducts of this effect is uric acid in your bloodstream. Your kidneys then method and expel excess uric acid from the body via your bladder and also urine.
Unfortunately, when either there is too much uric acid being produced, or, your kidneys cannot process it fast or efficiently adequate, excess acid is retained in your system and also circulated around your body. This excess acid can then be deposited in crystalline form in your joints (your big toes the majority of the time, but other joints as well).
Under the microscope these crystals tend to be in the form of tiny needles which produce the symptoms of gout; redness, inflammation, inflammation and, obviously, incredible pain.
But WHY SHOULD Several FOODS be Ignored I.E. High URIC ACID FOODS?
Remember above how uric acid is produced by purines, and, purines also exist in our food? Well, a lot of purines can lead to too much acid for your kidneys to handle and you end up with excess acid in your bloodstream, leading to deposits in your joints and thus a gout attack!
So it's just common sense that somebody suffering a gout attack, or, someone who suffers from regular gout attacks, should stay away from foods that are high in purines.
- And it becomes even more important when you learn that once having one gout attack, you're almost certain to have others.
- And also repeated, regular gout attacks can lead to permanently damaged joints and kidney stones.
Foods to Control Gout Attacks
Food may be nearly as effective at controlling gout as medicine is, so it's important to watch what you eat if you've got gout. This health video from About.com will ...
HIGH URIC ACID FOODS to Avoid (HIGH PURINE FOODS)
The following are foods that are either high or very high in purines and should be avoided...
Heart, lean meats, renal system, brains, sweetbreads, broth, comsomme, gravy, meat extracts, red meat, shellfish, mackerel, sardines, herring, fish roe, goose, turkey, partridge, baker's and also brewer's yeast, and yeast removes. Plus, you should avoid all alcohol, but particularly beer.
The following are foods which are somewhat high in purines and should be drastically reduced, or, better still avoided altogether...
Asparagus, cauliflower, mushrooms, lentils, legumes, spinach, dried peas, oatmeal, and also soy.
FOODS YOU can EAT as Part of a Low URIC ACID DIET
The following are foods that can make up a sensible, relatively low purine diet...

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Southwest Airlines Co.'s chief financial officer said Tuesday the discount carrier stands to benefit from expected big airline mergers that would free up gates at major airports.
"If there is network consolidation, I think we are going to have to look to see how we can participate in what ways there as well that make sense strategically," Southwest Chief Financial Officer Laura Wright at a Calyon Securities investor conference broadcast on the Web cast.
"As excess hubs get shut down, those often can be great opportunities," she said.
The heads of major carriers including Delta Air Lines, Inc. DAL, +0.47%, Northwest Airlines Corp. NWA, +10.00%, AMR Corp. AMR, +0.00% and UAL Corp. UAUA have all said that mergers are necessary and inevitable. But so far none except US Airways Group, Inc. LCC, +0.00% has come forward with specific merger plan.
Even without consolidation, Southwest's Wright said the carrier has benefited from network restructurings that reduced major carriers' presence at airports like those in San Jose, California and Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina.
"I think if we look at consolidation going forward, we are going to be prepared," she said.

Starburst - Slot Machine Review
Photo: NetEnt
Starburst - Review of Slot Machine
Starburst is the name of one of the most popular caramel candies known especially in England. But the Starburst is also a very fun slot machine, which shines with the colors of the same caramel name, but it is much sharper and, of course, offers much more fun.
Starburst is a modern five-reel slot machine with ten winning lines but with hundreds of different winning combinations. How is it possible? This machine counts as a winning combination any three symbols in a row, regardless of whether the winning line is drawn from the first to the third reel, from the second to the fourth reel or from the third to the fifth reel, which is great. This eliminates a lot of disappointment when only one reel is the difference between winning and losing. Just answer yourself the question of when did you experience this disappointment last time on your own?
Bonus Features on Starburst
Other great features include the Starburst Wild star symbol, which represents the classic wild symbol, with the difference that the symbol is extended to the entire reel. This, of course, may result in additional multiplier or multi-pay lines, which is again a feature you will not find anywhere.
Also, the Starburst Wild Star Extras feature an additional spin feature. This means that after the symbols are extended, these reels are blocked and consequently one more spin will occur. You can hit other winning lines there. In this case, however, if the number of winning lines is called up, the slot machine pays out the player's biggest win. However, in order not to feel depressed, the hit winning line pays out the slot machine in both directions. This means 2 times your winnings than you would be eligible for a classic slot machine.
Since the Starburst Slot Machine is simple (even graphically) but very generous, it has become very popular among the players. Starburst is available via desktop and mobile.

Takayama Ryokan Stay- Hodakaso Yamano Iori
Hodakaso Yamano Iori
1-58 Hatsudamachi, Takayama, Gifu Prefecture 506-0008, Japan
〒506-0008 岐阜県高山市初田町1-58 穂高荘 山の庵
The thing that really attracted me in Takayama is not so much the old thatched houses, but the ryokan that was in Paul's Travel pic. Sadly that ryokan was shut, and no more awesome Japanese degustation can be consumed.
I checked out a few different ryokan to see if that experience can be replicated without costing too much, but there are not many choices for less than AUD$100 for accommodation plus half board. I found this place called Hodakaso Yamano Irori, which according to trip advisor, for under $100 per person per night you geta multicourse breakfast and dinner with lots of yummy food.
Hadakaso Yamano Irori is about a 8 min walk from the train station and it's very close to the river, which at this time of the year had amazing views of sakura. We went for a walk before dinner to soak in the town's atmosphere.
Trip advisor was right. We had A LOT to eat for dinner. Whilst Takayama is near Hida hence they are famous for their Hida beef, They cater for pescatarian and vegetarian also.
First up was the little cold dish of seaweed and preserved fish. The fish is a bit too fishy for my liking and the seaweed is quite slimy for the unadventurous, but I quite like it (then again I love ANY kind of seaweed)
They also give you a little glass of sweet plum wine. If you don't like plum wine they have sake which cost about $AUD9 for a bottle. Hubby and co didn't like the overt sweetness of the plum wine so I got to drink 3 by myself! Yum yum!
We were presented with some very fresh sashimi of trout, squid and tuna and freshly grated wasabi. Shiso leaf is also featured and got me quite excited.
Now to the Pièce de résistance: Hida beef. In the middle there was a gas heater on each table with a metal plate. It turned out that the metal plate was a grill pan, as well as a hot pot! We got two cuts of Hida beef, one thinly sliced for the hot pot in the middle, and one cubed for the grill pan. The accompanying veggies were also strictly separated into grilled veggies (corn and shitake mushroom) and hot pot veggies (wombok, enoki mushrooms).
I liked the grilled beef better, because it was cooked with this awesome piece of beef fat! By cooking it in the beef fat you will not only get a fragrant piece of beef but also slightly crisp on the outside and oh so melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside.
Sadly my MIL who is the pescatarian wasn't as impressed with the seafood meal. The seafood was not as fresh at all and she palmed most of it to the boys. Now I am not saying that they got food poisoning but the boys did get a bit of diarrhea after dinner.
Anyway, just as we were saying that we were getting full, more food came! We were given udon with mashed daikon, chawanmushi and miso soup. They were not too bad but I wouldn't say that it was the best udon, chawanmushi and miso soup I have ever tasted although with the Miso soup I was impressed by the little slippery mushrooms in the soup.
We also got dessert which was not pictured but it was some sort of strawberry custard thing that tasted like powder and artificial strawberries. I took one bite and decided to leave it and so did everyone else.
After the huge dinner that we have I decided to go for an early morning walk in the markets before breakfast. The markets wasn't actually that great, but I was mesmerised by the sakura that was blossoming on the riverside.
Breakfast at Hotakaso Yamano Irori is another multi course affair.
To start you get a salad with some crunchy seaweed type transparent vegetable (I THINK it's honten?) in this ponzu sauce, which was super refreshing.
There was also this perfectly cooked egg with a small dot of wasabi just to make the flavours interesting.
There is some cold tofu with celery which is nothing to rave home about, but hey, anything with veggies are healthy!
In the middle of the table, once again the gas stove was set up, and there is miso soup with those slippery mushrooms boiling away.
There is also a little heater thing of the side, and on top of the lotus leaf were some onions and capsicum with miso paste. The idea was that you keep mixing the onions and miso together to cook the ingredients. Be careful you don't burn the lotus leaf like hubby did! >.<
Overall I find the food in this ryokan more rustic and less tasty than the other ryokans I have been previously visited. The ryokan was a bit old, but the service of the place, like many other Japanese ryokans, were very very good. The ryokan also have a public bath with spring water from Takayama, which apparently is good for people with all sorts of ailments like back pain, shoulder pain, skin issues…and indeed my itchy skin seemed to be soothed by the hot water in that ryokan. 7/10

We recently spent the evening out with a good friend. He's also a photographer who owns a senior portrait studio.
As we were leaving the restaurant and walking to our cars, I noticed his right away.
It was a Porsche.
There is nothing particularly noteworthy about that, except that he's a photographer.
I was surprised that a photographer could afford a Porsche.
Especially since he's the sole breadwinner for his wife and four children (two of whom are in college).
As we were driving home that night I was struck by the fact that this was even surprising at all. If he had owned a computer business or a web design agency I wouldn't have thought twice about it.
Yet here was a photographer who is very successful with high school senior photography. And he's not on the speaking circuit selling to photographers.
Conventional wisdom in the industry is that photographers don't make money. Why is that so 'accepted?'
Nothing exposes this industry-ingrained belief more than the often heard mantras of "I bet he makes all his money from workshops or selling to photographers." Or "She probably has a husband that supports her."
When I hear comments like this, I know that the person saying them is struggling.
I also know that if someone has a struggling photography business that they aren't making money selling to photographers either. Despite how it may appear on the outside.
Why? Because if they couldn't sell their own photography services, then they aren't going to have much luck selling to photographers either.
No matter what business you are in, you need to attract people to that business and entice them to purchase by offering them something valuable that fulfills a need of theirs (realized or otherwise).
If you are not making money in photography, it is most likely a 'brand' or 'sales' or 'product' or 'value' problem. What it isn't is not having enough people who are willing to pay for professional photography services.
It's not easy, but there is plenty of opportunity. However, it's going to take some work and the willingness to embrace a mentality that is very different from the 'norm' in our industry.
And why is it that so many photographers care how another photographer is making their money? There are many avenues of success for a business, and just because a photographer sells something rather than taking photographs doesn't make them any less legitimate. Or make them a sell-out for expanding their business.
There's nothing wrong with 'selling' your expertise. Most artists share their expertise in some way and develop additional streams of revenue. Professional chefs create cookbooks and have tv shows. Personal trainers sell books and videos to reach and help more people to get in shape at home.
Establishing yourself as an industry leader does actually lead to getting more photography clients.
It's only a problem to sell something where you don't have skill. Many photographers who want to sell things would be better off selling to the amateur market instead of the pro one. The amateur market is much bigger, and their skill set is a better fit for it.
Oftentimes people don't spend enough time learning their craft (or becoming an expert in an area of their business) before trying to turn around and sell to others. And that includes having enough skill to provide services to your clients.
I don't care what you do or sell, but no matter what it is you will have to get good at it first, and that takes time.
Trying to sell something before you've fully developed the skill is not going to get you very far. Whether you want to photograph clients or hit the speaking circuit – there's nothing wrong with that at all, but you'll need to master a skill first. And that doesn't necessarily equate to number of years in business. Perhaps you were an accountant before you got into photography, and now you teach other photographers in that part of their business.
What I can tell you is this: In all my years in this industry, almost no one has gone out of business because there wasn't enough demand for professional photography.
Photographers struggle because there isn't enough demand for their work or services.
Outside the industry there are so many small businesses popping up, especially eCommerce ones who are in desperate need of good photography. They either need to hire someone or learn the skills themselves.
We overlook that because we think it's easy. Like you, those small business owners are also strapped for time. Think of how long you spent learning something knew, and how long it took you to get really good at it. There are so many business owners who would love to hire a professional photographer.
When I look at the websites and businesses of most photographers who are having trouble getting clients, I can tell you it's a value problem.
They aren't able to create demand for their work due to one or a combination of the following:
It could be a Branding problem
There are a lot of photographers who are doing great work, but who cannot seem to book enough clients.
It could be an Image or Skill problem
Are your images at a level that can attract a high-end client? Are you making any of these mistakes? Even skilled photographers can get this wrong.
It could be a Sales and Marketing problem
One of the biggest reasons that websites aren't getting results is the lack of good content and information. Many assume that potential clients will simply be 'wowed' by their images and hop right on the phone to book a session.
But it doesn't work like that. This is something that I'll be talking about in a future post, so keep an eye open for it.
The Dog That Didn't Bark
The 'dog that didn't bark' is a metaphorical phrase that comes from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Silver Blaze. In the short story, Sherlock Holmes solves a mystery of a famous racehorse that disappeared by looking at a key piece of evidence that 'wasn't there:' A dog that didn't bark during the night.
Holmes was called in after a long search by multiple investigators who were unable to solve the crime. The police were quick to blame the trainer, even when they were literally staring right at the evidence to the contrary.
Holmes solved the case by looking at what wasn't there. By observing and looking past the obvious.
The lesson here is that oftentimes we hold biases that can sometimes make us blind to other possibilities, simply because we accept them as true.
It is so common within the industry to hear that the reason so many photographers are struggling is due to digital cameras, and how easy it is for 'anyone' to call themselves a photographer. And that people don't value professional photographers or understand what 'good photography' is.
We hear those things so often, and they are talked about so much, that we simply accept them as fact without really questioning or considering other reasons, or what's really going on.
It's no longer enough to be just a photographer. No one cares that you have a 'passion' for photography, or that you've spent years training and pouring your heart and soul into creating beautiful portraits. They are not willing to invest in you simply because you know how to operate your camera.
In today's world, people are looking for something beyond a picture taker.
The good news is this: If you're ready to look past conventional wisdom, you can pinpoint the reasons for your lack of clients (or sales) and do the work needed to solve them.
Because branding, sales and skill are very solvable problems.
Having trouble getting senior clients? If so you'll want to check this out.

BOSTON (MarketWatch) -- An advisory panel of the Food and Drug Administration has voted to recommend the agency approve Noven Pharmaceutical's NOVN, +1.17% Daytrana drug patch to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, in children, according to CNBC. The patch uses the same drug contained in such leading ADHD drugs as Ritalin and Concerta. While the FDA is not bound to advisory panel decisions, it generally abides by them. Noven shares remain halted in trade at $11.17 a share. Noven tumbled almost 20% on Thursday on news that a leading FDA reviewer for the drug did not think it should be approved. That reviewer reportedly reversed his position during his testimony before the panel today.

5.13 A casino operator must require that anyone working for the operator, to whom information or other matter comes in the course of business, as a result of which they know or suspect, or have reasonable grounds for knowing or suspecting, that a person is engaged in money laundering or terrorist financing makes an internal report to their nominated officer.
5.14 Whilst disclosure to another of the fact that a person may be engaged in money laundering is generally an offence (section 333A of POCA), such disclosures to a nominated officer, constable or customs officer are specifically protected, where they are made as soon as is practicable and the information came to their attention in the course of their trade, profession, business or employment (section 337 of POCA). We recommend that casino operators make employees aware that they have a legal defence to prosecution if they make an internal report to the nominated officeras soon as is reasonably practicable after the information or other matter comes to their attention. Whether or not this defence would be successful would be a matter for the court based on the exact circumstances of the case.
5.15 Any internal report should be considered by the nominated officer, in the light of all other relevant information available to the nominated officer, to determine whether or not the report gives rise to knowledge or suspicion, or reasonable grounds for knowledge or suspicion, that a person is engaged in money laundering or terrorist financing.
5.16 The nominated officer should consider any information held about the customer's personal circumstances that is available to the casino operator; and review transaction patterns and volumes through the account or other accounts held in the same name, the length of the business relationship and the identification records held.
5.17 The nominated officer must be fully conversant with the legal obligations to make external reports to the NCA.

The Merging of Capital and the State: A Brief History of Convict Labor in Florida
The following piece is written by Miami IWW member, James Malley. It is a piece based on his research in the history of Florida's convict labor which also ties with the South's history as well. He provided a critical perspective of prison labor where he highlights the economic and racial aspects that have led to evidently harsh oppression for the poor and blacks . This is a very insightful piece and we recommended everyone to read more below.
By James Malley
Prisons have always been central to the capitalist system and the politics and administration of prisons have been subject to the whims of the capitalist class. In the southern United States, prison labor was an integral part of the South's redevelopment and development after the Civil War. When studying the history of southern state penal systems, certain trends emerge that are reflective of broader society. Some of these are very visible, like the brutality, racism, and injustice that pervades the penal system. But these are just behaviors that manifest a part of a larger system.
I could not talk about prisons in the south without discussing race. Like I mentioned earlier, our modern prison system began in the aftermath of the civil war and was largely a function of the white power structure that was doing everything it could to hold onto its authority. The first penitentiary in Florida was originally an old Confederate fort and armory. Prisons in Florida were segregated until the 1950s. From the beginning, race was and is the single biggest factor in determining what a person's treatment would be like while in prison. It determined what kind of job they would have, their treatment, the privileges they would have, and what kind of medical treatment they received. The modern prison system was set up to be used as a tool for the remaining white power structure and emerging bourgeoisie to control the black population. The methods of disciplining prisoners, the organization of the prisons, and the labor the prisoners did were directly taken from the plantation. Whether they had prisoners working in the fields, building roads, or manufacturing goods, prison labor and the entire prison system was based on the interests of the capitalist class. Prisons, no matter what rhetoric was used, were and are never there to rehabilitate people, but instead to punish and discipline human beings. Prison labor with little or no compensation, some call it modern day slavery, is completely legal under the 13th Amendment to the Constitution which bans involuntary servitude "except as a punishment for crime."
In the southern states at the end of the Civil War, prisoners were rarely ever sent to prisons like they exist today. In his book "Twice the Work of Free Labor," Alex Lichtenstein describes the use of convict labor in Georgia as a way for the state to industrialize, diversify its economy, and modernize the state. Prisoners worked mining coal, doing agricultural work, and manufacturing the bricks that rebuilt Atlanta. In Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Texas and Florida prisons were built as self-sufficient farms, otherwise known as plantations. In Florida, before the turn of the 20th century, convicts were leased out to private companies to work for free. This system was abolished on humanitarian grounds in 1919. But this was just the beginning of a process of increased incarceration and more labor.
Florida, at the time that they abolished the convict-lease system, was beginning to increase in population and develop its industrial capacities. When prisoners were not on the Prison Farm outside of Gainesville, they were sent out into the farthest corners of the state to work on the chain gang building roads for 12 hours a day. Like the choice to build bricks for rebuilding Atlanta, prisoners were picked for building roads very specifically. Roads were essential to the development of the tourist industry that was flourishing in Florida at the time. Florida prisoners built some of the state's most famous roads like the Tamiami Trail, linking Miami and Tampa, and the overseas highway connecting the keys with the rest of the peninsula. Prison road crews were also used to facilitate the growth of the other emerging industries such as lumber, dairy, oranges, and sugar of the interior. Similar road-building projects were done in other states as well. This is where we the popular image of the prisoners working on the chain gang comes from.
Eventually the chain-gang became obsolete as a form of work. Chain Gangs were regularly used into the 1950s, but muckraking journalists and hard work of communist organizers in the south swayed public opinion over this issue, leading to somewhat better conditions for prisoners building roads. The style of prisons that came next started to resemble the contemporary style. In the 1920s and 1930s, Florida's prisons were able to modernize. The "Big House" at Florida State Prison in Raiford was built with concrete and steel and no air-conditioning using inmate labor. What was started as one of the prison farms with wooden buildings that aimed to be self-sufficient, now was a large complex of cell blocks, a clinic, a cafeteria, sprawling fields growing vegetables and pasture for livestock. All of it was built with prison labor. After the chain gain, most of the work that convicts did shifted to being on the prison grounds. As stated in Vivien Miller's book, "Hard Labor and Hard Time," agricultural production expanded rapidly in the Florida State Prison as well as industrial works. At this time the prison officials built a shirt factory and license plate factory. The system remained almost unchanged throughout the 1940s and 1950s. During this time, through a state agency called the Prison Industries Reorganization Administration and reforms from the national government, the modern prison industries system starts to take shape. However, as nice and as modern these policies seem to be, in practice the exploitation and alienation remains constant.
A great example of a "Modern" prison is Glades Correctional Institution in Belle Glade, Florida. Now it is out of commission, but this prison was built in the 1950s to hold only Black prisoners, but was desegregated in the 1950s. This prison was regularly championed by the business community and prison administrators as a model prison. This makes a lot of sense, because this prison seemed as if it was designed solely as a way for the state to extract labor and profits from prisoners. In the 1950s, Glades Correctional Institution had over 1,100 acres of land under cultivation, a cannery to process the agricultural products, and various other mechanical workshops.
In Florida, the link between private industries and prison industries became even stronger. This was the time of Ronald Reagan's presidency and free-market, pro-business ideology was pervasive in the realm of government. The state government was run by similar types of conservative politicians and The Florida Department of Correction was beginning a process of privatization of its facilities and institutions. In 1981, many of the most powerful businessmen and most brutal prison wardens in the state of Florida founded a new private, nonprofit corporation called Prison Rehabilitative Industries and Diversified Enterprises (PRIDE). That year the state legislature voted to use PRIDE to manage the prison industries. Florida is the first state to ever transfer their prison industries from the public sector to the private sector. PRIDE's function was to manage all the prison industries inside the department of corrections, from manufacturing furniture, running a dairy farm, or making rubber tires. Although PRIDE was non-profit, it functioned exactly like a corporation. It had shareholders, a CEO, a board of directors, and plenty of workers that were paid practically nothing. Among the founders of PRIDE were multi-millionaire drug store chain owner, Jack Eckerd, and the brutal administrator of Glades Correctional Institution, Robert V. Turner.
At Glades Correctional Institution, PRIDE took off. More than 10 percent of the prisoners were working in a PRIDE run industry, with the rest of the prisoners were doing other work for the prison like laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. Most despicable was the connection between PRIDE and one of the largest corporations in Florida, U.S. Sugar. The surrounding area of Glades Correctional is covered in sugar fields and the horizon is dotted with sugar processing plants, mostly owned by U.S. Sugar. The workers that produce the sugar live in small houses and apartments owned by U.S. Sugar. It was only natural that U.S. Sugar made a deal with the prison, to let the prisoners work for them for basically free. Glades Correctional acquired 4,000 acres of land in the mid-80s and immediately converted it into sugar fields. All the sugar harvested went to enrich U.S. Sugar. All together PRIDE Industries in the Florida prison system generated 70 million dollars of income, but only a fraction of that actually went back to the Department of Corrections, making the arguments of prison officials as PRIDE offsetting costs and saving taxpayers money as false.
Prison officials and conservative politicians regularly make claims that prison industries curb violence in prison, rehabilitate prisoners, provide practical job skills for when they are released, and generate income for the prison. This is completely false. How is spending your days in a sugar cane field and nights in a dormitory fearing for life rehabilitating? Glades Correctional Institution during the late 1970s and early 1980s was one of the most violent prisons and racially segregated in the Florida state prison system. In the spirit of cutting costs and brutal efficiency (the conservatives call it "fiscal responsibility") Glades Correctional lacked adequately trained guards and administration turned a blind eye to the violence and depravity that was occurring. Guards turned to the toughest prisoners to enforce discipline for them. This meant being complacent in drug smuggling and prostitution rings going on inside of the prison. It was so bad that a group of prisoners actually successfully sued the superintendent Robert V. Turner for neglect and the abuses they experienced by prison guards and other inmates, while Turner remained complacent and occupied with making deals with corporations.
My point in bringing this up is not to say we need better funded prisons and more guards, but to be critical of the entire prison system and of the rhetoric that our oppressors use to justify imprisoning and enslaving our fellow human beings. Our prison system is not designed by experts or humanitarians, but by capitalists and politicians. Being locked up and disconnected from society, forced to work for little to no pay, and without an education system in place that focusses on personal development and liberation, there will never be the "rehabilitation" that prison officials promise. The root cause of crime is poverty, private property and racism. People will break the bourgeoisie's laws so long as there is a division between those who have and those who have not. What's more is our legal system and methods of policing targets and disproportionally affects People of Color.
We need is to first and foremost support the people our comrades in prison. We need to provide the emotional support and intellectual resources for liberation like books and zines, etc. to prisoners right now. We also need to support the self-organization of prisoners, so they can attempt to address their grievances so they can have basic human necessities and an acceptable standard of living. Some of the people in the IWW have taken the initiative on this issue and formed the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee, which works directly with prisoners working in prison industries in the South, similar to the conditions of Florida as I described above.
But in the end we also need to be proactive and create the world we want to live in; a world free of domination, exploitation, and discrimination. Prisons do not exist in a bubble. They are just a symptom of the larger structural problems of society. They are a product of the racist, capitalist, and statist world we live. Therefore our organizing must try to incorporate an analysis that is inclusive and thinks beyond the structures imposed on us. Only then can we ever live in a world that prioritizes love, justice, and solidarity over punishment. A new world is possible, we are building right now in the shell of the old and they can never imprison our hope and imagination.

End Times Prayer for Breakthrough - Part 3 – How Does A Person Persevere In Prayer?
Here in Part 3 of end times prayer for breakthrough we look at how a person can persevere by meditating on the following scripture:
Matthew 7:11 (NIV)11 If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!
1. The believer must come to God as his Father. Christ explicitly tells us how to come to God.
a. We must come to God as "Our Father which is in heaven." The words "in heaven" acknowledge His sovereignty. God is able to do whatever we ask, and we are to expect Him to grant our requests.
b. We must come to God as we come to an earthly father: freely and openly, communicating and fellowshipping. And we are to come often, not neglecting the love, respect, and trust due Him.
Note the words "how much more." Whatever earthly parents are, God is much more. He is much more as a Person and as a Father. He knows each of our end times prayer requests and He has the knowledge, intelligence, wisdom, and power to grant them.
God has taken the initiative to create the family relationship with us. He has adopted us as children of God. Therefore, we can come to Him in our end times prayer with much more trust and confidence than we can to our earthly fathers.
But we must persevere in the end times prayer for breakthrough; we do not know what is going on in the spiritual realm or what all God may have to put in place for our breakthrough prayers to be answered. If we lack perseverance in our end times prayers, we are really showing God we are not really that interested in having the prayer answered.
God is love (1 John 4:8,16). He is so loving He compares His love and tenderness to that of a mother (Isaiah 66:13. He desires that we strive for breakthrough in our end times prayer with Him. He understands the spiritual warfare of everyday life for us and His heart's desire is for us to persevere for breakthrough prayer in these end times as we go through our day.
"For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God" (Romans 8:15-16).
"Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered" (Romans 8:26).
"But when the fullness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Galatians 4:4-6).
That is, things that are beneficial, honorable, needful qualities and not in excess of what we need; things that are decent, moral, clean, honest, clean-living, upright, good and healthy for our body, soul and spirit. We can persevere all we want for breakthrough end times prayer, but if our prayers are for anything other than the above, they will not be answered.
Think about it – If you were to ask your earthly father for things that were unclean, immoral, dishonest or things that would have a negative impact on your life, should he give it to you? Of course not!
Earthly fathers are human and sometimes carnal, and some fathers are even deliberately evil. But our heavenly Father desires end times prayer for breakthrough for us and He is showing us that it takes perseverance for that to happen.
Note three things about earthly fathers.
1) Earthly fathers sometimes make mistakes in what they give. They can and do give stone and serpent-like things to their sons, not deliberately, but mistakenly. They are simply deceived by what the world calls acceptable and good.
But God is not deceived. God gives only "good things," things that are truly wholesome and beneficial. If we ask for that which is wrong and harmful to us, God will quickly and pointedly say, "No," or else He will give what is really needed.
2) Earthly fathers are sometimes ill-natured, cross, provoking, and wrong in their response to a child's request. But not God. He always understands, He always knows exactly how to respond and He always knows what and when to give.
3) Earthly fathers are sometimes evil and harmful, threatening and dangerous, forsaking and deserting. But not God. God knows exactly how to meet the needs of the son or daughter who is forsaken or who is deserted (Psalm 27:10).
Scripture for end times prayer breakthrough:
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).
"Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest" (Matthew 11:28).
"If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?" (Luke 11:13).
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand" (John 10:28).
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" (Ephes. 1:3).
"Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life" (Rev. 2:10).
"And ye shall serve thelord your God, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee" (Exodus 23:25).
"And I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the lord: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart" (Jeremiah 24:7).
"Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith thelord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" (Malachi 3:10).

The Greatest Discovery in Learning History, and You've Probably Never Even Heard About It
It's ironic, the post-bacc class that had the least to do with medicine ended up being the most relevant to medical school. That class was called Learning Strategies, and it began with a graph, with memory on the Y axis and time on the X axis. What it showed was if you do not review a subject, your memory of it will tend to fade by 80–90% after around 24 hours, after 7 days, and after 30 days without proper review.
Being the neurotic man I was, and maybe still am, I looked further into it and it turned out there were multiple studies done on the subject, with some dating back to the 1930s. There were also multiple programs out there that were based on this principle of spaced repetition (Anki, Firecracker, and Pimsleur's language learning system, to name a few).
From then on, I never studied anything without using spaced repetition and just like it promised, I rarely forgot anything. What was interesting was that because I was using it to learn medicine rather than vocabulary, I added a new level of understanding with every pass. Suddenly I was scoring insanely high on exams, and generally appearing smarter than I really was. The results were astonishing!
Before I go into how you can use this to great advantage on USMLE, let me explain what spaced repetition is. It's the concept that if you review things over a progressively longer span of time, you will commit them to memory in a predictable and reproducible way. While there are many iterations of this method, I personally prefer, for simplicity's sake, Day 1, Day 2, Day 5-8, Days 30+.
For a more common sense example, imagine you have a small group where you hear everyone's name during attendance. If you have that group five or six times in a month you are significantly more likely to remember that person's name than if you had it five or six times in a year, because that memory is created in your brain and solidified before it has time to be lost.
While the science of memory formation is the subject of ongoing research, and I am far from a neuroscientist, the best theory states that memories are formed by chemical and synaptic connections between neurons, and a connection is strengthened with every recall. But over time, if not strengthened/reinforced, then that connection weakens, and eventually fades, until the memory/concept can no longer be accessed readily.
So how can we apply this to USMLE Step 2 CK? Well, everything you need to do extremely well on Step 2 CK lies in only a handful of resources, with the vast majority of what you need lying in USMLE World, OnlineMedEd, and FA Step 1 bio stats only (MTB can also be added, but it's the lowest yield of the four). Therefore, when studying you should do high yield OnlineMedEd lectures (Notes + videos + Notes again), then UWorld (Tutor by section, one minute per question reviewing after 10 – 15 questions).
After reading the explanation of 10 – 15 questions, you'll find you've learned a lot of information that will be tested in future questions within that UWorld section. Remember what I said about UWorld: incorrect answers are often high-yield summaries of answers to other Uworld questions, and this is why it is so crucial that you do it by section.
You see, by studying this way, you are hammering high-yield content by doing a few questions and learning a lot of content (through the answers to those questions), then being tested on it (through the rest of the UWorld Qs in that particular section), then once again recalling it (through the answers to those questions). Through this constant cycle of learning, being tested, then re-learning, you will be strengthening the memory and understanding of a concept before it has time to fade (since it will be seen multiple times within 24 – 48 hours).
You then want to ensure you re-read those OnlineMedEd notes + UWorld explanation within 5 – 9 days after seeing them initially, but this time 2-4 times faster since you need only to strengthen that memory. Something I highly suggest, as you go through UWorld the first time, is highlighting important words and concepts in UWworld answers. This ensures you are focused while reading (since it is an active process rather than a passive read), and also when you re-read the highlighted answers you'll save significant time (your number one resource).
If you find reading/highlighting UWorld answers is taking too long (more than three minutes), then you should read and highlight the learning objectives, wrong answers and only the bolded words/graphs or pictures in the main explanation. This may seem like strange advice — skipping the main explanation — however, I have found that between the bolded words and learning objectives, everything of relevance is covered, and there isn't much need to read the main answer to that question unless you truly do not understand a concept. Always read incorrect answers, as they are typically summaries of high-yield concepts. Once you get through everything (about 1-2 weeks before your test), you'll want to re-review everything one more time, further solidifying those memories and making it fresh for the exam.
You may be asking yourself, "How the heck am I going to fit all of that into the 300 – 350 hours I have to study for USMLE?" Well here's the amazing part. Because USMLE is a recognition test (as opposed to a recall test), you don't need to have facts down cold! You only need to know enough to recognize the answer (a concept I will go into further in later articles), so you actually do not need to spend that much time on any individual fact. Because you will be seeing the high-yield topics so frequently (literally 30 – 40 times before the test, because of how frequently UWorld tends to repeat them), you will be able to recognize them without needing to spend large amounts of time actively putting those concepts to memory.
In summary:
- First, do High Yield OnlineMedEd (Pre-read Notes + Videos + reread Notes)
- Then do UWorld (Tutor by section, one minute per question reviewing after 10 – 15 questions [2.5 – 3 minutes per answer, review with highlighting])
- Then 5 – 9 days later, re-review high yield OnlineMedEd notes + Uworld answer highlights at 2-3 times the speed you did originally.
- Once you've completed the process with every section, re-read everything again at that speed.
This will ensure you know these concepts very well on exam day. While you may be skeptical about the short list of resources, I can say I used ONLY OnlineMedEd, Uworld, FA-Step 1 (biostats only), and MTB throughout all of third year and for USMLE, and honored every shelf exam, then scored 264 on CK. Even if you were to argue that I am a good test taker, I still cannot invent medical facts/concepts, so the information must have been contained within the above resources. You now know my greatest study secret for both USMLE and Medical school. Go forth and use it to crush this exam.

INDIANAPOLIS — The hits keep coming for the Indianapolis Colts, especially on offense.
Wide receiver Chester Rogers, who also serves as the team's punt return man, was placed on injured reserve Monday, ending his season after he suffered a fractured knee during Sunday's 31-17 loss against the Tennessee Titans.
Rogers becomes the third pass catcher to head to IR since the regular season started, joining wide receiver Devin Funchess (clavicle) and tight end Eric Ebron (ankles) on the sideline.
The Colts still are sorting through their options for a replacement. Primary candidates could include Chad Williams — a former third-round pick by the Arizona Cardinals who is on the practice squad — and veteran free agent Dontrelle Inman, who caught 28 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns in nine games with Indianapolis last year.
"We're working through some options (with) what we have," general manager Chris Ballard told team play-by-play voice Matt Taylor on Monday during his quarterly appearance on "Colts Roundtable Live." "We have some players we like on the roster and on the practice squad. And, look: one thing we will never do is make excuses.
"It's our job as a personnel staff to give our coaches good enough players to win, and we have to be able to do that. And our roster understands that if you're on the 53-man roster — really, the 63-man roster — you have to keep yourself ready to go because each week it's gonna be your opportunity to play, and when that opportunity comes, you've gotta be able to produce."
Head coach Frank Reich expects a corresponding roster move to be announced soon and echoed Ballard's sentiments about the roster depth.
It's been a very difficult season at the offensive skill positions.
The Colts started Sunday's game with just four active wide receivers – Rogers, Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson and Ashton Dulin.
Pascal caught a team-high seven passes for 109 yards, and tight end Jack Doyle chipped in with six catches for 73 yards and one touchdown.
Eight different players had at least one reception, and quarterback Jacoby Brissett finished 25-of-40 for 319 yards and one score. But he also threw a pair of second-half interceptions as Indianapolis failed to hold on to a 17-7 lead.
"I know how Jacoby feels because he feels the same way I felt whenever I played – the way that any quarterback feels, and that is, 'My guys are my guys, and we are going to win with whoever we have,'" Reich said. "And our guys are good and our guys made a lot of plays on Sunday. We lost the game, and we take ownership of that. That was hard."
The Colts have hope rookie wide receiver Parris Campbell can return this week against Tampa Bay. He's missed the last four games with a fractured hand.
The way Campbell responds in practice again will determine his availability, as it did last week.
"I mean, we are optimistic, but I was optimistic last week to be honest," Reich said. "I was hoping he was going to get there last week, and we didn't quite get there. So that would make you believe that there is a pretty good chance this week.
"We've said this many times, until you actually get out there and practice – especially, like we said, for a younger guy, we need to see it all three days out there — Wednesday, Thursday and Friday — that he is ready physically and mentally to go, and hopefully he is, but it is too early to tell."
Starting running back Marlon Mack missed his second straight game with a fractured hand Sunday. And the rushing attack suffered.
Indianapolis gained just 82 yards on 24 carries, and Jordan Wilkins was the leading rusher with 47 yards on 11 attempts.
Fourth-string running back Jonathan Williams had 14 yards on eight carries and did not play in the second half after posting 100-yard games in each of the previous two weeks.
"There were multiple factors that went into that," Reich said. "We love Jonathan. I mean, Jonathan is awesome. It was kind of a little bit hot hand and so on and so forth. There were one or two factors – more than one factor – that went into it, but nothing negative in terms of any general feeling that we have about Jonathan."
Mack was seen working on the side of the practice field Friday, suggesting he's progressing through his rehab. But it's far too soon for the team to make any decision about his availability this week.
"We're definitely going to have to monitor him," Reich said. "(We) felt like he was making good progress last week, but I just knew last week was out of the question, so it wasn't even in my mind. So we'll just monitor him this week and see how it goes."
