I lived in Phoenix, Arizona in the early 80s and seem to recall this being a problem there - only they called it Desert Fever. Phoenix was in the midst of a huge building boom and the "fever" was caused from all the building taking place...dust getting kicked up quite a bit.
I'm sure he'll be a perfect candidate for a Republican or Democrat governor, congressman, or even Presidential candidate. His future looks very bright indeed!
As one in the field the only thing "savvy" about the [fill-in-the-blank-government-agency] strategy is the salespeople getting the government to throw boatloads of money at shit that once again WILL FAIL TO DELIVER.
Ray Bradbury was prescient when he included the following in Fahrenheit 451:
"Montag is able to watch the Hound track him by glancing through people’s house windows into their TV parlors. Literally everybody is watching the televised chase. Montag sees the Hound hesitate when it gets to Faber’s house, but it quickly runs on. As Montag continues to run toward the river, he hears an announcement on his Seashell radio telling everyone to get up and look out their doors and windows for him on the count of ten. He reaches the river just as the announcer counts to ten and all the doors in the neighborhood start to open. To keep the Hound from picking up his scent, he wades into the river and drifts away with the current. He avoids the searchlights of the police helicopters, and then sees them turn and fly away. He washes ashore in the countryside. Stepping out of the river, he is overwhelmed by the sights, sounds, and smells of nature. He finds the railroad track and follows it. As he walks, he senses strongly that Clarisse once walked there, too.
"The track leads him to a fire with five men sitting around it. The leader of the men sees him in the shadows and invites him to join them, introducing himself as Granger. Granger reveals a portable TV set and tells him that they have been watching the chase and expecting him to come. The men at the fire, though homeless, are surprisingly neat and clean, and have considerable technology. Granger gives Montag a bottle of colorless fluid to drink and explains that it will change the chemical index of his perspiration so the Hound will not be able to find him. Granger tells him the search has continued in the opposite direction and that the police will be looking for a scapegoat to save themselves from the humiliation of losing their prey. The men gather around the TV to watch as the camera zooms in on a man walking down the street, smoking a cigarette. The announcer identifies this man as Montag. The Hound appears and pounces on him, and the announcer declares that Montag is dead and a crime against society has been avenged. The homeless men reflect that the police probably chose the man to be their scapegoat because of his habit of walking by himself—clearly a dangerous and antisocial habit."

I'm sure cops everywhere will continue to "outsource" their roles in the wake of diminishing budgets. (Although this does sound like a headline from The Onion.)
I'm 58 and know enough that if I ever sit back I'll fade away. How boring. I change jobs every so many years TO learn new things so I don't get jaded. Just don't listen to anybody trying to tell you what's best for you.
"The only thing I ever saw that came close to objective journalism was a closed-circuit TV setup that watched shoplifters in the general store at Woody Creek, Colorado," wrote the late, great Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

Anybody seen my dog?
He's missing his left eye, has a broken tail, limps from an infection in his front right paw, is deaf and has worms.
He answers to "Lucky."
Raises taxes?
Bingo.

I suggest reading a book from the 70s by ex-MadMan Jerry Mander called "Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television" if you can find it.
Good stuff.
What are you, stupid?

"Snapchat has made an enormous and lasting impact..."
And this is the first I've heard of it.
I've got socks older than you. What are you gonna do when you really get old?

At least we'll be able to watch Nero fiddle faster.
There is money for this which is good since our roads are crumbling and we won't be able to drive to work.

My wife finally made the move to Linux after she saw her new Win 8 laptop didn't include Solitaire unless she got and used an Xbox live account.
She's happy now with Libre Office, Evolution and Firefox.
It should if you want it to be as legitimate as the dollar.*
