14-22. Integrating habitat modeling and landscape genetics to understand impacts of climate change and energy development on species persistence and diversity in the desert southwest
Population genetic structure will play a role in the future response of species to large scale, systematic environmental changes predicted with global climate change. Persistence in the face of climate change will be determined by a species ability to migrate or disperse to suitable habitat, as well as to adapt to changing ecological conditions. For many species, these processes may be hindered by reductions in population size and range, local extirpation, and fragmentation caused by threats such as urbanization and other land use change. Genetic differentiation within a species range is ultimately determined by natural selection, genetic drift and gene flow. Selection and drift enhance genetic differences if populations are sufficiently isolated. Although gene flow can preclude local adaptation, it can also introduce novel variation and facilitate widespread selective sweeps for strongly selected traits. Current modeling approaches for species responses to climate change rarely account for genetic structuring of populations, assuming either that gene flow is high enough that populations across a species range will respond similarly to the same environmental conditions, or that rates of migration will enable individuals to track changing abiotic factors (Neilson et al. 2005., Midgley et al. 2006.). However, natural and human created barriers to gene flow, such as mountains, roads and urbanization) may impede migration and gene flow across species ranges and impede range shifts and in situ adaptation to changing climate conditions, particularly if genetic variation is low at the leading edge of range shifts (Zakharov and Hellmann 2008).
Spatially explicit genetic data can provide information on the movement of individuals and genes across landscapes and relative levels of genetic connectivity and variability among sub-populations. Furthermore, recent advances in sequencing techniques and computing power are allowing geneticists to apply genomic approaches to conservation questions, and target both functional and neutral genetic variation. However, spatial genetic analysis tools are limited. Better analytical methods that can account for genomic data and integrate detailed environmental information are needed (Storfer et al. 2010.). In combination with species distribution modeling, a landscape genetic approach can provide relative estimates of population genetic connectivity, and elucidate patterns of genetic diversity within a species that will affect its adaptive potential. This can aid in determining range shifts under differing climate change scenarios. Examining these patterns across multiple species can determine whether common movement corridors exist, and whether particular geographic regions contain higher than average levels of genetic diversity. Prioritizing populations with high genetic diversity or distinctiveness for protection may help retain the evolutionary potential within species in changing environments (Moritz 2002., Thomassen et al. 2011).
Such information is imperative for regional land use planning and management of adaptive potential: 1) it will identify locations where populations contain the highest levels of genetic diversity and likely have the greatest potential to evolve to environmental stressors induced by climate change, and 2) it will help to determine the most important connections between core preserved habitats that should be preserved and/or restored to allow for gene flow of adaptive traits.
We have begun investigating patterns of habitat suitability and intra-specific genetic diversity in animal species across the desert southwest. Human land use and modification in the arid lands of the western United States have intensified in recent decades (Leu et al. 2008.). In the Mojave Desert, for example, urbanization, agriculture, transportation networks, military operations and energy production have already altered sections of the landscape with impacts to native wildlife (Lovich and Bainbridge 1999., Webb et al. 2009.). Further land use change is projected in this region, particularly utility-scale renewable energy development (USRED) on federal lands in response to federal and state goals and mandates for renewable energy production (e.g., the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, CA Executive Order S-14-08 and CA Senate Bill X1-2). Increasing production of renewable energy will have benefits in curtailing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting energy independence and economic growth, but development of USRED facilities and their associated infrastructure may negatively impact local wildlife through habitat loss and fragmentation.
We seek a postdoctoral fellow with strong skills in landscape genetics/genomics, landscape ecology, geospatial statistics, or species distribution modeling that can apply innovative approaches to better understand how predicted climate and land use change will impact habitat suitability, and how changes to habitat suitability may further impact levels and distribution of genetic diversity across species ranges in the desert Southwest. The overarching goal of our research program is to assess climate and land use impacts to intraspecific genetic diversity and biodiversity, and to develop science-based tools to inform decision-making in the desert southwest. In our work to date, we have created habitat suitability models and mapped patterns of neutral genetic diversity for multiple animal species. We have analyzed these in combination to determine regions of high habitat suitability and high genetic diversity within species and for the species assemblage as a whole. In addition we are currently investigating potential habitat and genetic diversity loss due to projected renewable energy and other development (Nussear et al. 2009., Wood et al. 2012., Inman et al. 2013., Vandergast et al. 2013). This foundation will allow expansion to address impacts of climate change on this system.
Applicants may propose postdoc research projects centered on a number of themes including: 1) spatially explicit modeling of population processes to predict changes to patterns of genetic diversity in target species under different land use and climate scenarios; 2) expanding methods to model species distributions under climate change and assess the significance of these changes, and 3) empirical hypothesis testing to understand environmental correlates and other landscape factors associated with high neutral and adaptive variation within select species. Significant data have been amassed to support these research themes including species occurrence data, and genetic data for herpetofauna, small mammals and invertebrate species throughout the study region, and derivatives of downscaled Global Climate Models (e.g. climate water deficit and others, Flint and Flint 2012), and over 70 environmental data layers rasterized at the relevant spatial scales. Other resources include laboratory facilities and next generation sequencing capabilities, GIS and computing resources.

Q: A/C clutch assembly on 1995 Buick Roadmaster
It seems my A/C clutch assembly has broken apart. After speaking with several auto parts stores and explaining what I was experiencing I was told I needed to replace the inner hub. That is fine although I have no Idea how to disassemble the three part unit. The pulley and bearing are operating normally and there is no binding in the belt. Also the noise is much louder when A/C is turned off. However, still not a problem with pulley running, no squealing. Just the grinding of that middle part of clutch assembly. Would I be better off replacing entire clutch assembly? Still no clue as to how to get this part off A/C compressor.
It generally requires a few special tools to remove these parts. See if this helps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BridPFzy6r0
Same thing happened to my 1995 Roadmaster. I found after contacting all parts stores in area and a few salvage yards that old school parts and new school parts DO NOT MIX now have to get whole new compressor since my Son broke off the bolt to A./C compressor that holds the hub, bearing etc to compressor. Major pain in butt. Also not able to rent removal and re-install tool so had to purchase outright. So you can try replacing as whole unit however, may not match up so u end up replacing compressor after all. Plus the whole assembly will likely cost as much as compressor itself which comes with the whole assembly
we provide good price bus a/c clutch for bock ,bizter, mando, thermo king compressors. website is http://j-rui.en.alibaba.com

Police in Cumbria have been called to a local animal park on some urgent monkey business.
A small beige Capuchin monkey has gone missing from his enclosure at the South Lakes Wild Animal Park in Dalton.
Nobody at the park knows how it got out and staff are concerned that it will be lost and scared.
The whole area is being searched, and although the monkey is not thought to be a danger to the public, they are advising people not to approach it.
Capuchin monkeys come from South America.
They are normally about 50cm high and are recognisable by a distinctive black or dark brown head.
They like to live in trees and are known to use tools such as stones to crack open nuts, shellfish and crabs.

Rick Reilly — recycling a piece he did a few years ago, but we'll let that slide since I've been known to recycle myself — has laid out all of the things he'd do if he were put in charge of baseball. Anyone who knows just how much I love Rick Reilly will know how happy I am to have his suggestions. Let us exalt them, shall we?
First his preamble:
I personally find baseball so crushingly boring I would happily plunge knitting needles into my eyes to avoid another snap zoom of Joe Torre's nostril hairs. But my buddies like it, so I sit and watch with them. And bitch.
And with that we now have license to ignore anything Rick Reilly ever has to say about baseball from now until the end of time. At least if we weren't ignoring him already. I mean, you don't have to be a cheerleader to write about a sport, and in fact, it's probably better that you not be one, but when you come out and admit that hate your subject in such stark terms, you've pretty much abandoned the moral high ground.
On to his suggestions:
We'll put in a pitch clock. The reason baseball is slower than cold honey tipped over is that there's no clock when men are on base.
I'm with Reilly when it comes to wanting to move the game along, but that's because I like to see a good crisp game. I get the sense that Reilly's suggestions are to simply get the game over with because, like he said, he hates baseball. In any event, his complaints appear to be more about the batter (i.e. the calling of time, the adjusting of equipment) than the pitcher. To that I'd say that rather than introduce a dumb clock, why doesn't Commissioner Reilly simply insist on stricter enforcement of Rule 6.02 which clearly gives the umps the ability to tell a batter to get bent if he asks for time for no reason? This, combined with a strict enforcement of Rule 8.04 ("When the bases are unoccupied, the pitcher shall deliver the ball to the batter within 12 seconds after he receives the ball") would probably be better than putting a game clock on the field.
Once a week, every player signs autographs for 10 minutes by the dugout. Don't tell me you're too busy, Mr. Seven-Car Garage. I've seen you elbows-deep in the clubhouse porn stash.
Does Reilly ever go to games? Most players — at least most of the players whose autographs anyone wants — spend a lot of time signing stuff before games. Indeed, players seem far more generous with their time in this regard than they were 15-20 years ago.
We'll bring in Olympic testing. Saying "baseball players cheat" is like saying "wolves like hamburger." In the Small-Balls era, nobody — not the players, not the owners, not the writers — tried to stop it. Where were all these books when we needed them? But when I bring in the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) — and let it test anytime, road or home — we'll finally see who's faker than Octomom's lips.
Nice timely reference there, Rick. Got anything about Monica Lewinsky? You certainly had time to come up with those kinds of jokes back in the 90s when you weren't writing anything about steroids. Oh, forgot, you wrote this hard hitting cover story about Mark McGwire ("Mr. McGwire: your home run chase seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?").
If you're 0-for-4, the crowd picks your at-bat music. Is it my fault if they choose "Nothing From Nothing" by Billy Preston?
Nah, it's not your fault, Rick. Those crazy kids are suffering so badly from Billy Preston-mania that they can't help themselves.
The National League will get the DH. No more pitchers swinging a bat at a ball the way Paris Hilton swings a shovel at a moth.
My God. This dude is paid how many hundreds of thousands of dollars of year to write one 800 word column a week, and he still can't make a remotely current pop culture reference worth a damn? And screw you for wanting the DH in the National League. I'll accept (before rejecting) such arguments from people who know and care a bit about baseball, but I won't hear it from dilettantes like you.
We'll fine more players. The NFL fines guys $5,000 for not having their socks right. Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin got a $25,000 fine for shoving a guy. But often, Selig yawns when pitchers throw 95 mph retaliation beanballs. You want to brain a guy just because he stood in the box after his moon shot? Okay. We'll fine you until your kids end up in public school.
I'm fine with raising the fines somewhat, but I don't come at it from the position of wanting on-field decorum to match that found in the NFL and the NBA. No reason.
Umps will be in charge of rainouts year round, not the home team. I'm sick of seeing a full house soak for two hours 59 minutes waiting for the manager to get word from his owner to call it, just because the greedball wants to sell more $9 beers. We'll put Double Doppler 9000 in the umps' room, and they'll decide in under an hour.
I actually have no quarrel with this one.
Balls that hit the foul pole are foul. Duh.
Duh yourself. However misnamed they may be, the foul poles are a vertical extension of the foul lines. Are you suggesting that balls that hit the chalk are foul too?
A prospect won't be allowed to enter an MLB farm system until he's the age of a college sophomore, just like in the NBA. Over the years, I've noticed most baseball players are dumber than toe lint. This is because many of them report to the minors even before graduating high school.
Rick, do you really want to push the line that someone should be prevented from pursuing their chosen profession because they're dumb? Because I don't think that bodes well for you, my friend. At least an 18 year-old ballplayer does some things well.
And most important, if you're the dweeb fan on your cell behind home plate waving at the camera, the rest of your section gets to pour beer down your shorts.
Again, no quarrel.
Now shut up and watch the game.
Look, I realize that Rick Reilly is the five-time winner of the Buckeye Newshawk award or whatever it is, but if I ever become this bitter while being highly paid to do something as wonderful as write about sports for a living, I implore you, shoot me in the temple and end my misery.
(thanks, I think, to Richard Dansky for pointing me towards this lazy, hateful dreck)

okay review, not interested in this band
I thought you were going to stop submitting reviews.
w/e got my vote. This band poops.
'Shoot Down The Stars' is a good song but the album is pretty boring.
This is the definition of annoying music.
Gym Class Heroes' are sort of like the Fall Out Boy of hip-hop
The other album seems way better, though I have yet to listen to this in full.
review is good.This Message Edited On 09.18.07
I like this album, Scandalous Scholastics is easily my favorite. Clothes off is a little annoying though.
Yeah this is a pretty darn good review. Definitely not the easiest record to review. Lots of fun and clever stuff here.
This band is just really boring.
[quote="Review"]"The way she praised my balls was vicious, now that's what I like to call sacrilegious"[/quote]
[QUOTE=Confessed2005]This is the definition of annoying music.[/QUOTE]
I agree. These groups only irritate me.
These groups should come up with their own music instead of ripping off other artists. Just like that fat Sean Kingston redoing "In the air tonight."
ok the beginning quote, is another one of their "samples", they didnt write that lyric they borrowed from Jermaine Stewart and Removed the "Don't" that was in her version , which tbh isn't necessarily insight on their behalf, however good review, bad band.
Album Rating: 3.0haha oh crap you're right. i completely forgot about that.
but i will leave it because without it the review doesn't make sense
I didnt see this review wtf!
GCH are so bad D:
GCH are so bad
Clothes Off! is the new anthem of the world.
Clothes Off! is the new anthem of the world.
I take it kalkal is the keep his clothes on kind of guy.
Fair enough.
I guess that's just one of the reasons there are holes in the front of our pants.
but i don't want a naked civilisation

Tuberculosis is a global health problem. The
Tuberculosis (TB) in humans is caused by infection with
The T-cell response is important in control of TB infection, as illustrated by the large incidence of TB infection in patients who are HIV+, and lack sufficient numbers of CD4+ cells to be able to tackle the infection effectively [
However, it has been shown [
The traditional ELISPOT assay readout is expressed as spot forming units (SFU) per 106 cells. SFU is a well established measurement, but does not correlate with protection [
In this study the effect of incorporating a measure of spot size into the ELISPOT assay readout in combination with quantity of spots was investigated for potential to (a) enhance the discriminatory power of the ELISPOT and (b) provide more information on the immune response to BCG vaccination or
Data from two non-human primate (NHP) studies were used to investigate spot size as an additional measurement. The frequency of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) capable of producing IFNγ in response to stimulation with purified protein derivative (PPD), in blood collected from Mauritian cynomolgus macaques in Study 1, over the first 20 weeks after vaccination with BCG, enumerated as SFU was found to be similar to the frequency determined in PBMC from animals that were not vaccinated (
The morphology of spots observed in wells set up with PBMC isolated from BCG vaccinated animals was different to that seen in wells set up with PBMC from unvaccinated animals. Fig1B shows images of two wells which contain the same number of spots, however the spots produced in well (Bi) by PBMC from a BCG vaccinated animal are markedly larger than those produced in well (Bii) by PBMC from an unvaccinated animal. The larger spot sizes in well (Bi) suggest PBMC from the BCG vaccinated macaque produced more IFNγ than PBMC from the unvaccinated macaque when stimulated with PPD.
When a measurement of spot count x average spot size was used to compare the IFNγ response in vaccinated and unvaccinated macaques, a response of increased magnitude with a peak at week 6 was revealed in the animals that received the BCG vaccine. AUC and Mann-Whitney analysis confirmed the response profiles to be significantly different (p = 0.0064 (
The IFNγ response to
The response made by the PPD-specific IFNγ secreting cell population induced in the peripheral blood of Chinese cynomolgus macaques following vaccination with BCG was investigated using both ELISPOT readouts in Study 2. The frequency of PPD-specific, IFNγ producing PBMC, enumerated using SFU, was greater in BCG vaccinated macaques than in macaques that were not vaccinated during the 18 weeks of study (
PPD-specific IFNγ response profiles determined using frequency of spots alone (
The IFNγ response profile in the unvaccinated macaques defined using the SFU readout showed a steady increase in frequency of cells producing IFNγ over the 18 weeks of study, which was in line with the response trend determined using the spot size x quantity readout. In contrast, the SFU readout revealed a peak in the IFNγ response profile in the BCG vaccinated animals 12 weeks after challenge that was not detected in the profile derived from the spot count x size analysis. This suggested that at week 12, a large number of responding cells were present in the circulation, but individual cells were capable of producing smaller quantities of cytokine than cells assessed at other times after infection.
Sixteen UK-bred cynomolgus macaques of Mauritian lineage were selected for Study 1 and twelve cynomolgus macaques of Chinese origin were selected from a UK Home Office approved breeding colony for Study 2. All Animals were housed in the UK according to Home Office (UK) guidelines and were sedated by intramuscular (i.m.) injection with ketamine hydrochloride (10 mg/kg) (Ketaset, Fort Dodge Animal Health Ltd, Southampton, UK) for all procedures requiring removal from their cages. All procedures involving animals were approved by the Ethical Review Committee of the Health Protection Agency, Porton, UK. None of the animals had been used previously for experimental procedures. A PRIMAGAM (Biocor, CSL, USA) test kit was used to demonstrate NHPs were naïve in terms of prior exposure to mycobacterial antigens.
The IFNγ response to BCG vaccination (solid line) and challenge with
Twelve Mauritian (study 1) and 6 Chinese cynomolgus macaques (study 2) were vaccinated with BCG Danish strain 1331 (Statum Serum Institute, Copenhagen, Denmark). Animals were immunised intradermally into the upper left arm with 100 µL BCG and the viability of the BCG vaccine was confirmed to be within the expected range for the batch (data not shown).
Twenty-one weeks after vaccination with BCG, the 6 Chinese cynomolgus macaques together with the 6 unvaccinated animals from study 2 were challenged by the aerosol route with 75 CFU
Blood samples were collected at 2 weekly intervals from all animals throughout both studies for immune assessment, and PBMCs were isolated using a density gradient centrifugation by standard procedures [
The frequency and size of IFNγ producing cells in PBMCs induced by stimulation with mycobacterium-specific antigens was measured using a monkey IFNγ ELISPOT kit from Mabtech (Nacka, Sweden). PVDF 96-well plates (Millipore, Watford, UK) were coated with IFNγ capture antibody. Cells at a concentration of 2 × 105/well were plated out in triplicate and stimulated with either PPD (10 µg/mL, SSI, Copenhagen, Denmark) or Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) (Sigma-Aldrich Dorset, UK) (100 ng/mL), and Ionomycin (CN Biosciences, Nottingham, UK) (1 µg/mL) as a positive control or left unstimulated. After overnight incubation at 37 °C, cells were washed off and a biotintylated anti-IFNγ secondary antibody added to bind to the released IFNγ. Spots were developed using Streptavidin-HRP enzyme and freshly prepared 5-Bromo-4-Chloro-3-Indolyl Phosphate/Nitro Blue Tetrazolium (BCIP/NBT) substrate (Mabtech, Nacka, Sweden) combination. Spot forming units were counted and average spot areas measured using AID CADAMA ELISPOT reader and software (CADAMA, Stourbridge, UK).
Determinations from duplicate tests were averaged. Data were analysed by subtracting the mean number of spots in the wells with cells and medium-only from the mean counts of spots in wells with cells and antigen. SFU was calculated as the frequency per 106 cells PBMC. Spot size was incorporated into the analysis by multiplying the spot counts by the average spot size per well. Response profiles were plotted using Sigmaplot version 10 (Systat Software Inc, Hounslow, UK).
To compare the immune response profiles induced in animals by vaccination, the area under the curve (AUC) for each response was calculated using Sigmaplot version 10 (Systat Software Inc, Hounslow, UK) for each animal. The area under the curves was determined for each of the individual animals in each test group. The median AUC was calculated for each group and compared using a Mann Whitney test using Minitab, version 15 (Minitab Ltd, Coventry, UK). Differences of < P = 0.05 were considered to be significant.
The ELISPOT assay with its traditional SFU readout provides an important tool with proven value in the investigation of the immune response elicited following vaccination or infection. In this study this approach has demonstrated the induction of an increased frequency of cells capable of secreting IFNγ in response to stimulation with mycobacterium-specific antigen in the peripheral blood of macaques, both after vaccination with BCG, and infection with
Consideration of spot size in an ELISPOT assay can provide an additional measure of the immune response. Schlingmann
The added value provided by inclusion of the spot size parameter into the ELISPOT readout was found to be more important when responses were lower,
The spot size x spot count readout provides an estimation of both the quantity of IFNγ produced per cell as well as the number of cells producing IFNγ which gives further insight into the nature of the immune response. This readout revealed that not only was the response over the first 6 weeks after TB infection quicker, and the magnitude greater in BCG vaccinated animals, than that seen in previously unvaccinated animals, but also the spots were larger in size. The speed of response, and larger spot sizes early after infection may be indicative of the induction of a secondary response primed by BCG. The spot sizes in assays of the unvaccinated animals were also observed to increase with time after infection to a level that was similar to those seen in BCG vaccinated subjects after infection. This increase in size may also provide evidence of the development of a secondary response as the unvaccinated animals respond to infection. Further work would be required before spot size could be confirmed as an indicator of a secondary response to show that responding cells are from the same population (CD4+ T cells) as it is possible that PPD (an undefined antigen preparation) is inducing a lesser amount of IFNγ production from cells other than CD4 T-cells (e.g., gammadelta, NKT or NK cells). Cell size may not be the only factor that influences spot size, as the efficiency with which cytokine can be produced in response to stimulation may also be important. This could be further investigated by measuring the quantity of cytokine released into culture supernatant following antigenic stimulation.
Inclusion of a measure of the spot size into the readout of the ELISPOT assay has shown that useful information can be obtained from spot size measurements, and this could be included in future studies to enhance the information obtained about the IFNγ and Th1 response. An evaluation of the IFNγ response determined using the refined ELISPOT readout as a potential correlate of protection against tuberculosis, or as a biomarker predictive of the progression of tuberculosis disease, should be investigated further.

Bremerhaven, Germany (UPI) Sep 13, 2010
The ice around the North Pole has experienced another severe meltdown this year, German scientists said.
Around 1.9 million square miles of the Arctic Ocean will be covered by ice by the end of this summer, the third-lowest figure since satellite monitoring began in the 1970s, scientists from the University of Hamburg and the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research said Monday.
In the past four years, the average ice coverage in mid-September was around 2 million square miles, led by a record meltdown to 1.6 million square miles in 2007 from an average winter height of 5.4 million square miles. The scientists attributed the latest meltdowns to a combination of man-made climate change and seasonal temperature shifts.
The German statistics come on the heels of a report on Arctic sea ice by the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center, which released similar figures last week. Both reports indicate that Arctic ice is thinning, meaning that it takes less energy to melt it.
"There are claims coming from some communities that the Arctic sea ice is recovering, is getting thicker again," Mark Serreze, director of the American center, told Postmedia News. "That's simply not the case. It's continuing down in a death spiral."
The melting of the Arctic ice sheets means that the oceans in the region are increasingly ice-free during the summer months. This is opening a new Atlantic-Pacific shipping channel and makes the vast natural resources lying under the seabed more accessible.
Nations have laid conflicting claims to the seabeds. Russia and Norway have rowed over their Barents Sea territories, while the United States and Canada disagree over a swath of the Beaufort Sea and over the Northwest Passage, which in 2007 for the first time in modern history was free of ice.
The U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea, a treaty ratified by all nations with interests in the Arctic except the United States, states that Arctic border countries can claim ownership of natural resources up to 200 nautical miles off their coasts. Arctic nations are now exploring to where their continental shelves extend -- findings that could increase their territories.
Observers have warned that the legal conflict over boundaries might evolve into a military one. Russia sparked concern when one of its submarines planted a flag in the seabed in territory it considers its own at the North Pole in 2007. In general, military activity in the region has increased in recent years.

And the "school system" is giving 5 units of Continuing Education for this.
We need to find out which teachers are attending this propoganda machine....and which people in the School District/System are accrediting 5 units of CED to this skewed BS.

Update, 1:13 p.m. — Weld public health officials warn the increase in standing water from the floods also increases the risk of contracting West Nile Virus.
This week's forecasted heat will aid the growing process for mosquitoes, maturing them from egg to adult in as little as a week. It also helps the virus incubate in birds that have been infected, which pass it on to mosquitoes.
The best way for people to protect themselves from West Nile Virus is prevention, public health officials say.
» Check your property for pooling water after a rainstorm. Those are breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
» Avoid being outside at dusk and during early morning hours.
» Wear light-colored clothing. Mosquitoes are attracted to bright colors.
» Wear long sleeves and pants.
» Use bug spray especially with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or certain essential oils.
» Keep screens on windows and doors. Be sure they are free of tears.
For more information on West Nile and associated precautions, visit http://www.co.weld.co.us/Departments/HealthEnvironment/ or call Kelly Campbell, health communications supervisor, at (970) 304-6470 ext. 2325.

Update, 11:40 a.m. — Weld County Public Works is out assessing roads and bridges that were obscured by flood waters yesterday.
Bridge crews are starting work to repair and restore WCR 54 between Colo. 257 and WCR 13, 17 from 50 to 52. It's estimated to take one to two days to be ready to reopen it if the weather holds.
Crews are also arranging to place concrete Jersey barriers or water-filled barriers to more effectively block spectator access to the heavily damage bridges, including Fern, 53/Kersey, WCR 61, and WCR 13 at WCR 26.
Crews are also inspecting damaged gravel roads and identifying where re-gravel is needed. These roads may have been low volume before the flood but now may be the only routes available in some areas.
They are blading WCR 44 to maintain access to Milliken. Tomorrow, the paving crew will finish WCR 46 west of U.S. 85 to Colo. 60, which was milled just before the flood event. This will also become a heavy use route and would deteriorate if left unpaved.
Trucking will deliver repair materials to bridge projects at WCR 13 & WCR 26.
The Bridge Division is assisting Firestone/North Weld / NCC to restore water pipe to Firestone at WCR 13 and WCR 26 — blocking St. Vrain channel with dike.
County crews are organizing with CDOT for bridge integrity inspections.

It had been a slightly bumpier beginning to the day, however, as England lost nine wickets in 36.1 overs - though the consolation for Root was that the procession of batsmen returning to join him in the dressing room could attest to the increasing difficulty of the pitch.

A Rational Conversation: Chris Ott On Marketing Premature Nostalgia, Circa Interpol's 2001 Breakthrough...
Via The Daily Swarm:
A Rational Conversation is a column by editor and writer Eric Ducker. Every week he gets on iChat or Gchat or Skype or whatever with a special guest to examine a subject that's been on his mind.
When does premature nostalgia for music that is already based in nostalgia get gross? And what does it say about our current cultural tastes? Case in point: this past October, Saddle Creek reissued Danse Macabre, the 2001 album by The Faint. Meanwhile, Matador Records reissued Interpol's Turn on the Bright Lights this past week to mark its ten-year anniversary, which has resulted in oral histories via both Pitchfork and Paste. Alas, such celebrations of albums that are just over a decade old – ones that themselves fetishized earlier landmarks of post-punk and new wave – can seem kind of suspect; conversely, do these re-releases provide crucial windows into how we consume the not-so-distant pop-cultural past? Ducker discussed this accelerated canonizing of cool with "Chris Ott": https://twitter.com/shallowrewards, the highly-opinionated man behind the Shallow Rewards videocast. Ott is almost absurdly qualified to such matters – he was on the firing line when these records had their initial impact: he edited Pitchfork when the site, in a post also written by Ott, called Turn on the Bright Lights the best album of 2002.
