INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Another common cause of an itchy scalp is known as seborrhea. This can occur in other places on your body as well, but is most common on the scalp. The cause of this condition isn't clear, but it is believed to be caused by a number of factors, such as your genetics, high stress levels, cold, dry weather, and an excess of yeast on the scalp. This is commonly confused with other skin conditions, so it's good to have your doctor take a look at it if you want to be sure of what's causing your itchy scalp. "Cradle cap" is a type of seborrheic dermatitis that is common among babies and infants. It presents as crusty yellow or brown scales on the scalp. To treat cradle cap in infants, wash the scalp daily with warm water and a gentle baby shampoo. If it doesn't clear up, speak to your pediatrician about medicated shampoo before trying one yourself, as this could cause further irritation. For adults with seborrheic dermatitis, treatment includes corticosteroids, topical antifungal agents, and other topical agents with antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Dandruff is one of the most common causes of itchy skin on the scalp. It is unclear exactly what causes dandruff, but it has been linked to an excess of fungus that is normally present in the skin, known as malassezia. If you have dandruff, you will likely notice small yellow or white flakes on your shoulders, or on your fingers when you scratch your scalp. Understand that dandruff is not necessarily a sign that you are dirty or unhygienic. Dandruff may be triggered by a lot of things, such as the weather outside and different hair styling products. Treatment for dandruff includes antifungal shampoo with or without high potency steroids. Over-the-counter treatments include the use of selenium sulfide 2.5.%, zinc pyrithione 1 and 2%, coal tar, and salicylic acid. The term eczema doesn't refer to a specific skin problem, but rather a group of different, but similar skin conditions. It is a chronic, inflammatory skin disease most common in babies and children, but adults can suffer from the condition as well. It typically presents as red patches on the skin that are very itchy. As with several of the others, the causes of eczema are not entirely clear, but it is believed to be an overreaction of the immune system to some type of irritant. Stress and anxiety, bathing without moisturizing afterwards, dry skin, over heating of skin, and exposure to solvents and detergents may exacerbate the condition. Treatment includes topically applied corticosteroids and emollients. Strength of the steroids used should be based upon body location, age, and degree of inflammation. Psoriasis can occur anywhere on the body, and usually appears as raised, reddish, scaly patches. Doctors aren't sure what the cause of psoriasis is, but it may be related to an immune malfunction, which causes the body to create skin cells too quickly. Psoriasis is not contagious, though it could be a result of genetic influences. Scratching the patches of affected skin on your scalp could cause the hair to fall out. Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Mild cases can be managed with topical treatment, while more severe cases may require phototherapy and prescription medication. This is a very contagious condition caused by tiny parasites that find their way into your hair. These tiny parasites live and lay their eggs on the scalp, and feed off of blood. While not typically harmful, they are very easily spread, and can be difficult to get rid of. If you find that you are suffering from lice, it is very important to treat the lice problem right away. It is very important that you get all of the lice (including every single egg) on your scalp, and that you wash all bedding and towels that may have touched your head. To treat lice you will need to use topical agents in addition to combing out the nits on your scalp. If you are suffering from Parkinson's disease or HIV, you are more likely to suffer from an itchy, dry scalp. However, remember that having a dry, itchy scalp doesn't necessarily imply that you are suffering from something serious. If you are concerned that you may be suffering from a more serious disease because you are suffering more severe symptoms (in addition to an itchy scalp), you should visit your doctor.

SUMMARY: Consider seborrheic dermatitis. Look for dandruff. Rule out eczema. Check for raised scaly patches caused by psoriasis. Rule out lice. Consider other serious diseases.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: A drinking glass is placed in the center of the table, filled with the alcohol of choice. There should be at least four players around the table. Two players on opposite sides of the table are chosen to start at the same time, and each is given a quarter and a cup. Make sure that each of the players is separated by an equal amount of space between one another. Each player must attempt to successfully bounce his or her quarter into a cup as quickly as possible. If a player misses, the player must quickly try again. As soon as a player gets their quarter into the cup, they pass the quarter and the cup to the player on their right. If a player shoots the quarter into the cup on the first try, then he may pass it to any player at the table. The goal of the game is to try and get one of your opponents to have both cups and quarters at the same time. If a player ever has both quarters at the same time, then that player is the loser. The player who passes the second cup to the opponent with the other cup is said to have "screwed" the loser. However, it is not good enough to simply pass the cup to the opponent with the other cup. You must stack the cup inside your opponent's cup. This action serves to prevent the loser from attempting another shot, since oftentimes the loser is unaware that their opponent has "screwed" them. At this point, the loser is allowed one final shot into the stacked cups. If the loser misses, he or she must drink the penalty beverage, which is often a shot or a large portion (perhaps all) of an alcoholic drink. If the loser makes the final shot, then the tables have been turned on the other players. Some rules insist that all other players take penalty drinks, others require only the player who "screwed" the loser to drink. Sometimes the player who "screwed" the loser is given a single shot just like the loser had, and the two take turns shooting until someone misses. Another option for the penalty beverage is that the player who "screwed" the loser is allowed to spin a quarter, and the loser has to drink a beer or a mixed drink for as long as the quarter remains standing. In the case where the loser makes the final shot, she must then spin a quarter and everyone else drinks for as long as the loser allows it to spin. The game ends when everyone decides to mutually quit playing, or everyone is too intoxicated to continue playing. However, you can make up your own rules as to how to end the game. Some versions of the game make it so that a player is eliminated after losing five times. You continue until the last person is standing.

SUMMARY:
Set up the game. Begin to play speed quarters. Determine the loser of each round. Give the loser a second chance. End the game.
