Review: Global Dance Fest at Red Rocks, 7/15/11
GLOBAL DANCE FEST at RED ROCKS | 07/15/11
The line-up for the second night of Global Dance Festival had some big names on the main stage including Skrillex, Nero, Major Lazer and the night ending, ultimate party killer, LMFAO. To hit all your favorite artists would be impossible, unless the times were catering directly to your personal playlist, but that didn't stop anyone from having a good time. As our venue-empyting headliners put it, "sorry for partying."

There really is no way to describe the energy emitting from the theater during Skrillex's set. He came to party with everyone, and opening with a remixed "Hips Swing" that had everyone singing was the best to build a connection with the eager crowd. So is sampling Montel Jordan. Who does that? Skrillex, apparently. "This Is How We Do It" is already a classic, but when 10,000 people join a chorus of "IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT," it resonates differently than when Jordan is singing it.

Bits and pieces of Skrillex's catalog got play throughout the night, with an on going vocal sample screaming "Oh my god," from the "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites" track, but the real Skrillex came shining through on "All I Ask of You," which also features that crunching (not crunchy) bass.

Ludacris must be blowing up somewhere because nearly every top act at this event so far has used some sample from the Southern spitter's collection, with Skrillex taking advantage of the "Move Bitch" track off of Disturbing the Peace. La Roux's "In For the Kill" didn't get played in it's entirety, but when it was used, you can bet your ass the entire place joined in song.
Ishe plays dubstep -- not what people are calling dubstep -- real dubstep

The last time Skrillex played in Denver was at Beta with Colorado resident and Whomp Trucker DJ Ishe opening up the main floor. It's speculated that there was some sort of miscommunication between Ishe and Skrillex's manager because Ishe got pinched early for playing some tunes that were a little too heavy for an opener.
Such was not the case this time when Ishe took the main stage in the afternoon, and the filling venue was more than feeling his flow. Curious MC accompanied Ishe on stage, offering up some occasional vocals, but the dubstep Ishe was dropping needed no such help. Alone, Ishe could easily take the venue for a wild bass-ride, and yesterday he made his mark by dropping grimy, strategically paced bass drops. Slow head nods and two-steps made the entire venue look like everyone was under his spell, and under that jet black mohawk, somewhere nestled in that musical brain of his, Ishe was conducting an orchestral, trance-inducing state of bass consciousness.

Major Lazer, whose beat is sampled on the Beyonce track "We Run the World (Girls)," definitely takes the cake for the night. Diplo,who came out just as Skrillex was closing and may have even scratched a disc or two before officially taking the stage, is a master on the mixers.

With Skerrit Bwoy running amuck on stage with a bottle of Hennessy in one hand and the microphone in the other, Lazer made Red Rocks a dance hall, if only for the hour or so they were able to. "Pon de Floor," the track Beyonce sampled, saw Skerrit Bwoy standing on top of the light cube, pants down, preparing to dive crotch first onto his stage dancer, whose moves volleyed between pornographic and kama sutric.
LMFAO shuffled off early

What we didn't know then -- and certainly hadn't even expected -- was that LMFAO was sent from hell to ruin the party. The singers themselves look like the poster kids from Marketing and Trends Monthly, and the music sounds like it was written by the president of the Merchants of Cool. The first three songs had everyone dancing hard, but the incessant references to taking shots (excluding the actual "Shots" song, which came later in the set), partying late, dancing crazy and generally being wild, got a little old.
This was quite noticeable by the fact that the entire place was filing out before they were even halfway through their set. One half of the duo was seen walking off stage mid-set, hands up, laughing about the fact that Denver doesn't take its music lightly. We know what's good, and we know what's not, and if the audience is herding towards the door, it pretty much means you should stop performing.
The bottles of champagne, handfuls of glow sticks, vodka and beer bongs were just not enough to trick everyone into thinking the music was good. It was tasteless, cheesy and looked like it should have been the opening act at a sweet sixteen party somewhere deep in Nebraska (no offense to Nebraska).
Maunfactured Superstars? Tell me, are you serious?

Manufactured Superstars, however, played a super-hyped set that included live vocals from Selina Albright for the new single, "Serious." They constantly replayed the automated voice saying, "You are now rocking with the Manufactured Superstars," and made a valiant attempt at getting choral support on Nirvana's "Teen Spirit" cut, but the place didn't feel it. When "Fuck You" came on, it was 10,000 glowing kids screaming it in unison, and even gave a little chill with how much excitement was in the air.

Unfortunately, Porter Robinson was playing at the exact same time as LMFAO and we didn't make it up for the whole set. What little of his set we did catch saw a faster and heavier version of Deadmau5's "Raise your Weapon," which always has everyone slowly raising one finger in the air, culminating in a big drop. Robinson also used a Daft Punk cut from "One More Time," but saved us all the annoying "One more time we're gonna celebrate" part that sounds like a roller skating rink song.

Personal Bias: I was trying to think of things that LMFAO could stand for, but all I could come up with "FUCKING STUPID." By The Way:Skerrit Bwoy wanted media in front of the stage, so much so that when security kicked us out, he was there pulling us back in. Random Detail:Paper Diamond is sick and had set times not conflicted as much I would've been able to see him drop more than just the new track from Pirates of the Carribean.

There's nothing amusing about a 14-storey tower block in Luna Park, says Genia McCaffery.
The application before the State Government for the construction of a 14-storey commercial building and a complex of five cinemas in the heart of Luna Park has been understandably greeted with dismay and a sense of outrage by all who care about this most precious part of the harbour shore.
Predictably, media attention has focused almost gleefully on residents whose views will be obscured by the proposed building.
However, anyone who cares about public open space on Sydney Harbour should be deeply concerned by this latest development application, which has the power to take away one of the most prized harbour vistas.
The simple fact is that if the Government approves this application it will be ignoring planning controls it approved in law in the interests of a developer.
The kind of intensification of use proposed by this project, in addition to the theatre and conference venue already approved for the site, is simply not permitted under the planning controls for Luna Park approved by the State Government.
In a series of recent Herald articles, Geraldine O'Brien warned that Sydney was losing its character through the homogenisation of the harbour shore. Bulky commercial buildings and apartment blocks were singled out as having the greatest capacity to rob the harbour of its uniqueness by their propensity to dominate the built environment.
In spite of this timely warning, it looks as though the Government is preparing to toss aside years of community consultation and carefully developed planning controls to make way for an oversized office block in a heritage area zoned for two storeys. The Premier's own stated aim of preserving the harbour shore from excessive height - through the process of "stepped back" buildings - would be made meaningless by approval of this building.
For anyone who has any doubts about the impact of 14 storeys in Luna Park, consider this. For a building of this height to be built on the site, the cliff face overlooking Luna Park will need to be excavated. Excavation of this magnitude will almost certainly spell the end of the heritage-listed fig trees and weaken the cliff face, also heritage-listed.
The Olympic Pool will lose precious winter sunlight, with large areas, particularly the heritage-listed outdoor pool, plunged into permanent shade in winter months.
Hundreds of residents in Milsons Point will lose harbour views, while on the opposing side, looking out from the Opera House, the dominant feature of Milsons Point will no longer be Luna Park, the Olympic Pool, the Harbour Bridge or Bradfield Park, but a large concrete box laughingly described as "chirpy". Similarly, the cinema complex, along with the theatre, conference venue, restaurants and bars already approved, will mean a massive intensification of use. Hundreds of vehicles will be competing for less than 400 dedicated car spaces within Luna Park and with thousands of commuters and residents outside it. How is the Government proposing to manage this kind of traffic impact?
The development application also calls into question the tendering process which saw the site's redevelopment contract awarded. Selective tendering to three potential bidders behind closed doors, based on planning controls that could be arbitrarily scrapped if this building is approved, deserves far closer scrutiny.
There was an outcry at Mark Latham's proposal - since rescinded - to sell Kirribilli House. Yet a far more stealthy sell-off of public land on Sydney Harbour is occurring right under our noses, and only the State Government has the power to stop it.
Genia McCaffery is the Mayor of North Sydney.

Arm Warmers
From Knitting Lingerie Style:
For several centuries, fine needlework was an essential skill for a girl to attain in order for her to create an appealing dowry. It was thought that a woman should put as little burden for her upkeep as possible on her new husband, and so a good dowry would contain enough linens and dressing items, all sewn and decorated by hand, for the first several years of marriage. Needless to say, hundreds of hours went into the production of these items. Fingerless gloves were an important item in the needlework bag, as they would allow a girl to continue working when the fire became low and the home grew cold.
While you may never use these cabled and bobbled silk/wool arm warmers for needlework, you'll find them useful as a fanciful accessory and for utilitarian purposes--try them when you're working on a computer in a chilly office or taking photos outdoors in cold weather.

"We showed that even if the pirate fingerprint loses some of its symbols and becomes shorter - for example it is '121' only - we can still trace one person."
Safavi-Naini says traitor tracing is unlikely to be used by governments to trace dissidents or corporations to track down whistleblowers.
Safavi-Naini, a 20-year security research veteran, is a critic of the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) - a contested law designed to strengthen copyright holders' rights over that of citizens and researchers. The DMCA applies heavy penalties to academic researchers seeking to strengthen security schemes.
"Last year, I had to sign an agreement that if I am arrested because the content of the paper would have been interpreted as in breach of DMCA it is my responsibility and not ACM. It was bizarre."
She says organisers have inexplicably dropped the requirement for this year's conference. Under the DMCA law, if overseas researchers were found to be in breach, they could be arrested, deported and refused re-entry to the US.
The ACM's DRM 2002 will be held on November 18 in Washington, DC. Papers and other details can be found at crypto.stanford.edu/DRM2002/

RV sale ordinance nears passage in Allegheny Township
The Allegheny Township Supervisors could finalize an ordinance allowing the sale of recreational vehicles in certain residential areas in June.
The consideration to make RV sales a conditional use in R-3 zones is prompted by a proposal from Murrysville-based Cooper's RV Center to expand to the former Trunzo's ice cream parlor property along Route 356.
Township Manager Greg Primm said the planning commission is reviewing the ordinance and is expected to make recommendations to the supervisors this month. Primm also plans to send a draft proposal to the county planning office for review.
He expects the supervisors will have those recommendations in May and will be able to draft an ordinance that would be available for a public hearing and final approval in June.
The supervisors have given Cooper's owner Keith Conard permission to store some RVs on the property while the ordinance is pending.
According to Westmoreland County deeds records, Export-based Nagoda Land Group has owned the nearly 16-acre property since 2007 when it was purchased from the Trunzo family.
Jack Kelly, a resident of the Allegheny Woodlands housing development across from Trunzo's, on Wednesday told supervisors he doesn't object to the development but hopes township officials will ensure it is handled responsibly.
Among Kelly's requests were making sure any outdoor lighting shines toward the business rather than into traffic; that noise is muffled; and that any garbage containers are screened from the road.
"We welcome them here," Kelly said, adding that the business should add to the township's tax base.
Primm and supervisors said many of Kelly's concerns will be addressed in the conditions.

How to Beat GMAT Reading Comprehension
April 11, 2014
Kaplan GMAT
There are some fortunate beings among us who seem to thrive on GMAT Reading Comprehension problems. The rest of look on with veiled mirthless smiles at these blessed souls, all the while muttering under our collective breaths, "what, are ya nuts!" If you're like most of us mere mortals, Reading Comp is a complete pain: long, nearly incomprehensible passages on subjects about which we know little or nothing, and care even less, followed by inscrutable questions that seem to have been devised by the Sphinx herself. What's to be done to tackle this part of the Verbal section?
How To Beat GMAT Reading Comprehension
Well, if you've looked into any part of the GMAT with the least little bit of attention, you will have noticed that this beastly test is filled with recurring patterns, and, though widely varying Reading Comp passages hardly seem likely to harbor repeated patterns, the questions that follow each passage are loaded with patterns. There are big overarching patterns that provide structure to the questions you are asked. Patterns determine the nature and features of the questions. And if you know anything at all about the wily ways of the wicked and perfidious test designers, you know that they love to throw tricks and traps in your way. But Ha hah! Here's where you win and they are hoist by their own petard: there are patterns to the kinds of traps they throw into the answer choices.
GMAT Reading Comprehension Question Types
A survey of the types of questions you can get in Reading Comp reveals that well over 90% of the questions in this problem type fall into just four categories:
- Global questions, which ask for the main idea of the passage
- Detail questions, which ask about something explicitly stated in the passage
- Inference questions, which ask you to find the one irrefutable answer choice, based upon the information in the passage
- Logic questions, which ask why in the heck the author brought up some detail, or included some particular paragraph in the passage
That list of question types is itself a recurring pattern discernible to anyone who takes inventory of the questions, but there's an underlying secret pattern that you can use to your advantage: most of the questions focus on the author's purpose, so if you can at least identify her main idea as you slog through the passage, the author will guide you to the right answer in three out of four of those main question types. Stay tuned for my next blog entry, where I'll take you through what the right answers look like in these question types.

Fox, if hired, would be App State's third coach in the last six years. He has spent the last 13 seasons at Davidson under Coach Bob McKillop. The Wildcats are 288-130 and have won six Southern Conference titles during Foxs time there. Fox was promoted to associate head coach before the 2012-13 season.
App State's first choice for head coach, Mike Rhoades, an assistant coach at Virginia Commonwealth, chose Rice University over the Mountaineers; Bobby Lutz, a Catawba County native an associate head coach at North Carolina State University, withdrew his name from consideration.
Mike Young, the mens basketball coach at Wofford College, and Duggar Baucom, the coach at Virginia Military Institute, were also potential candidates for the App State coaching job.

The Top Ten Conservative
Idiots (Week 13)
9, 2001
Where's the Beef? Edition
a friend about the Top Ten Conservative Idiots
It's idiots aplenty this week, and there are yet more exciting new faces
to add to our growing collection of conservative chuckleheads. Ann Veneman
(1) leads the charge with a light-speed U-turn on salmonella testing,
Dan Burton (2) is setting a world record for Congressional time-wasting,
and it turns out that Condoleeza Rice (3) has a comedy Big Oil connection.
Meanwhile, Dr. Laura (6) waves a sad farewell to her incredibly boring
TV show, and Rudy Giuliani (8) shows off his sensitive side.
M. Veneman - NEW!
Weeks on chart: 1 - Just
when we started to think that the Bush Administration couldn't possibly
stoop any lower pandering to corporate lobbyists on K Street, the
Agriculture Department came up with this brilliant proposal: Let's
get rid of the federal rule that requires the meat in school lunches
be free of salmonella! Of course, if you're going to risk the lives
of school children to pay off the meat industry, you can't have
the Secretary of Agriculture call a press conference herself
to announce it. So they got a low-level staffer to float the idea
- just to see if anyone would notice. Faced with a massive
outcry from consumer groups and parents, the whiplash-inducing flip-flop
took less than 24 hours. Said Secretary of Agriculture Veneman:
safety of our food supply, particularly school lunches for our children,
is an extremely important issue and USDA will continue to take appropriate
steps to ensure the safest possible food supply is available for
all consumers." Whatever. We've got a modest proposal that is guaranteed
to keep our food supply safe: Make Ann Veneman eat school lunches.
Burton - RETURN!
Weeks on chart: 3 - No doubt, many in Congress can stake
a claim to the coveted title of "undisputed heavyweight champion
of scandalmongering," but only Dan Burton can back up his claim
with a real record of achievement. Early last week the Capitol Hill
newspaper Roll Call reported that Dan was closing in on his
1,000th subpoena. "Walter Payton rushed for more than 16,000
yards; Kareem-Abdul Jabbar scored 38,000-odd points; Nolan Ryan
chalked up more than 5,000 strikeouts." As of March 30, Dan's
record stood at 994 (approximately 1.5 subpoenas for every day he
has been chairman). For those of you keeping score at home, here
are some of Dan's other impressive stats: Number of illegitimate
children - 1. Number of female "staffers" he has had on
federal payroll who didn't actually do any work - 2.
Rice - NEW!
Weeks on chart: 1 - It isn't exactly front-page news
that this Administration has close ties to Big Oil. But even we
were bemused to learn that Condoleeza Rice has an oil tanker named
after her. Condoleeza Rice (the oil tanker) belongs to multinational
oil company Chevron, where Condoleeza Rice (the National Security
Advisor) was a board member and stockholder. While this is becoming
something of an ethical problem for Rice, it could be an even more
embarassing PR problem. Imagine the headlines: "Condoleeza
Rice Spills Millions of Barrels of Oil into Prudhoe Bay." Or,
"Condoleeza Rice Caught Smuggling Iraqi Oil, Calls for Air
Robert Cline - NEW!
Weeks on chart: 1 - Dr.
Cline, a surgeon from Austin, Texas, appeared in a New York Times
article last week to explain how he really, really needs George
W. Bush's tax cut. You see, poor Dr. Cline only made $289,678 last
year and has a wife and six kids to support, and with the tax cut
he could save an estimated $12,000 dollars a year. When the Clines
moved to Austin in 1995, they were dismayed to discover that the
high-tech boom had created a new class of dot-com millionaires.
"It was a little frustrating," Dr. Cline whined. "Here I was building
a practice and already starting to see there is a top end on what
I can provide. And everybody is quitting their jobs and going into
dot-com. It was insanity. You would see all these young guys driving
around in Porsches." The Clines' $867,000 house is now no longer
large enough for the family, but they are having a hard time finding
a five-bedroom house in a neighborhood they like for less than $1
million. They could move to the suburbs, but Dr. Cline is a self-proclaimed
"city guy" and hates the idea of commuting. Mrs. Cline
said that the family has to rake their own leaves, paint their own
bedrooms, and clean their own pool. "We don't have the luxuries
that you would think in this tax bracket," she said. "Of course,
I'm sure that having six kids doesn't help." Dr. Cline added: "I
can only imagine what someone who makes $40,000 or $50,000 a year
needs with a family my size."
News - RETURN!
Weeks on chart: 2 - Last
week a group of intrepid Democrats took to the streets outside Fox
News headquarters in New York to protest the supposedly unbiased
network's disgusting conservative slant. A DU member who participated
in the protest reported various underhand tactics from Fox. A producer
was overheard telling his film crew to get a shot of the protestors
and then sweep up to the building's electronic marquee, which was
displaying phony approval ratings for George W. Bush (67%? I don't
think so!). Yes, it would certainly appear that "We report
lies, you decide what we want you to." In addition
various Fox employees were sent down to street level on a regular
basis to act as "counter-protestors" (which apparently
involved simply shouting obscenities). But the message from the
progressives who braved the rain was clear. To quote our protestor's
sign: "Faux News. We've decided
Laura Schlessinger - NEW!
Weeks on chart: 1 - A moment of silence, please, for
Dr. Laura's television show. Paramount announced last week that
a second season will not be forthcoming after this season's final
epsiode airs in September. Despite
the fact that the show would have been axed anyway due to its high
crap factor and appalling ratings, Schlessinger was quick to blame
activists: "I believe it could have earned a substantial audience
in time, but the television advertiser boycott precluded that."
Well boo-hoo. Perhaps now she'll figure out that the majority of
Americans aren't particularly keen on TV shows starring celebrity
Stewart - NEW!
Weeks on chart: 1 - During an investigation into Scott
Stewart, head of the College RNC, three women filed affidavits claiming
he "made frequent and unwanted sexual advances and regularly
spoke obscenely to and about female employees." In addition, they
claimed that Stewart appropriated several thousand dollars in GOP
funds to pay for his and others' personal expenses, such as cellular
telephone bills, plane tickets, and campaign mailings. Last week
an investigation found that Stewart's behavior was "unprofessional
and inappropriate for a work setting." So what was his punishment?
Sending a tough message to sexual harrassers and crooks everywhere,
the RNC gave Stewart a warning, made him apologize in writing to
the three women, and let him keep his job. RNC spokesperson
Mark Miner: "We are firmly committed to ensuring that any organization
with which we work operates in accordance with the same principles
that govern the RNC." Well, quite.
Giuliani - LAST WEEK: 5
Weeks on chart: 3 - He's
back! The decency crusader showed off some thick skin on his WCBS
radio show last week when a caller said he had a question about
Giuliani's newly named 20-member arts advisory panel: "The
mayor may or may not have performed adultery in office. Would this
not be subject to a decency panel?" Despite the thorny question,
our Rudy was able to see the funny side and
displayed his famously gentle wit by responding: "I don't let
people intrude on my personal life, and I think that man is an idiot.
So why don't you go stick it? Thank you." Oooh, good comeback!
Foster and the Louisiana State Senate - NEW!
Weeks on chart: 1 - Remember when Republicans thought
that term limits were the best thing since sliced bread? Not so
fast! Now that the clock is ticking for Governor Mike Foster, Senate
President John Hainkel is sponsoring a bill to repeal the legislators'
term limit law. The only real obstacle is that pesky old thing called
"democracy" - the term limit law was approved by 76% of
Louisiana voters. Still, since when has that stopped Republicans
from getting their way? After all, they probably didn't mean
to vote for term limits, right? Sheesh, voters can be SO dumb sometimes.
Schwarzenegger - RETURN!
Weeks on chart: 2 - And finally, after weeks of tedious
non-speculation, Arnold Schwarzenegger has decided that maybe he
will run for Governor of California after all. Last week,
the groping beefcake revealed to an Austrian newspaper that "It
is now almost certain that I will enter politics." He continued,
"I have stood at such a crossroads before. Then, I had to decide
whether to continue with bodybuilding or whether I should take up
a film career. Now, the situation is similar, film or politics."
Hmmm. Bodybuilding or film? Film or politics? It's certainly a relief
to know that Arnie can make such tough decisions regarding the advancement

Real Housewives of Miami's Elsa Patton: Havana Elsa Coffee Is Real! UPDATED
Havana Elsa is real!
If you noticed our favorite Real Housemom Elsa Patton hawking her branded coffee and wondered if it was some cute segment or a possible dream sequence on Bravo's Real Housewives of Miami, let us confirm here and now: Havana Elsa coffee is real.
The Patton Group has confirmed that Havana Elsa coffee is, in fact, real (and, technically, an espresso).
though at the moment it's not available yet.
Update: We just learned that the coffee is now available for mail order. A ten-ounce package sells for $4.99 (plus $5.35 shipping via DHL).
So what does Havana Elsa coffee taste like? We figure it's as complex and rich as the pattern on Mama Elsa's muumuu.
According to Trademarkia.com,
the Havana Elsa trademark was approved for publication on Wednesday,
September 5, 2012. Which means we smell coffee a-brewing.
assured we'll keep you posted on the latest Mama Elsa coffee news, but
for now, watch this amazing, insane Bravo clip that features Havana Elsa
coffee, a Havana Elsa food truck, and Elsa and daughter Marysol
trying to figure out how to divvy up their future coffee fortune (hint:
Elsa's not into sharing the fruits of Marysol's labor).

Information and Policies
Types of Reserves Materials
- Closed reserves - Closed reserve is for required course-related reading or for optional material needing greater security. Materials circulate for 2 hours or overnight. Audio visual materials on reserve circulate for 4 hours or on an overnight basis.
Search for closed reserves.
- Open reserves - Open reserve is for optional course-related reading. Materials circulate for 2 days. These materials may also be used in the Library without checking them out.
Search for open reserves.
- eReserves - EReserves is an online counterpart to the traditional Library Reserves system. EReserve copies are scanned in Adobe Acrobat format or links are made to electronic journal articles in a passworded course website on the electronic reserves system. Students can access these readings on the web.
Search for eReserves.
Who May Borrow
The following persons are eligible to check out reserves materials from the Library:
- Carleton students, faculty, and staff
- St. Olaf students, faculty, and staff
Use of ereserves is limited to those enrolled in a particular course.
All library patrons must agree to follow library policies.
Library Barcode
Carleton and St. Olaf students, faculty, and staff are registered automatically in the Carleton/St. Olaf Library's computer system (Catalyst).
You must present your OneCard for any circulation or reserve transaction.
Returning Materials
Those using Library materials, whether in or out of the building, are responsible for any deterioration in the condition of the material while in their use, and for the safe and timely return of the material to its proper location or to designated return areas. Designated return areas for reserve are:
- the Reserve Desk
- the book return bin at the front door for after-hours return
Returning reserve material to the Circulation Desk when the Library is open may result in a delay in getting it to the Reserve Desk. If this delay results in a closed reserve fine, the borrower will be held liable for the fine.
Borrowers who lose or damage Library material will be assessed a replacement and a handling charge. If a lost item is found and returned in good condition before the replacement has been ordered, the replacement cost will be refunded, but not the handling fee.
Open reserve items may be renewed:
- before the item is overdue by viewing your circulation record on Catalyst and selecting RENEW items
- by replying to the reminder notice
- in person at the Reserve Desk
Closed reserve items may not be renewed.
We cannot accept renewal requests by telephone.
Overdue Penalties for Reserve Items
Open Reserve
The day after an open reserve item is due the Library's computer system will send a reminder notice. At this time you should renew or return this item. If you do not return it, you will be fined $20 and billed $60 for the replacement of each overdue item. If the item is returned in good condition, the $60 replacement fee will be waived; the $20 fine is not waived.
Closed Reserve
Closed reserve materials are often in high demand, and are thus subject to late fees as follows:
- $2.00 per hour, up to a maximum total fee of $15
In addition to the fine incurred, students who keep closed reserve material overdue for more than 7 hours may be referred to the Academic Standing Committee for disciplinary action.
You are responsible for the timely return of all materials, whether or not you receive any reminder or overdue notices from the Library.
Placing Print Material on Reserve
Plan Ahead!
Due to the volume of material placed on reserve, the Library cannot offer same day or rush requests for placing items on reserve.
Vonnie Otte is the Reserve Coordinator. Reserve items are processed during her office hours which are:
Monday - Thursday 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Friday 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Reserve items are not processed between noon on Friday and 8 a.m. on Monday.
Requests for material to be placed on reserve should be made two weeks before the material will be needed.
Make sure your material is on reserve before making assignments.
The process for placing items on reserve is:
- Complete Faculty Copyright Compliance Form (one form per class per term)
- Bring materials to the Reserve Office
- Complete Place on Reserve Form
If you wish the Library to purchase any materials to be placed on reserve, please request the item one full term in advance.
Placing Material on eReserves
The process for placing items on eReserve is:
- Complete Faculty Copyright Compliance Form (one form per class per term)
- Bring photocopied materials to the Reserve Office
- Complete Place on Reserve Form (one for each photocopy)
The library will accept photocopies and scan them for electronic reserves. All reserve photocopies must be submitted by the course instructor. The Library cannot photocopy articles for placement on reserve. The photocopies must be:
- Clean, high quality, 8 1/2 x11" copies.
- Include bibliographic citation information on the first page. This notice consists of "Copyright [year], [name of copyright owner].
Reserve photocopies will be returned to you at the conclusion of each course. Materials remain on reserve for one term and are removed from reserves at the end of finals each term.
What May be Placed on Reserve
Most Carleton and St. Olaf Library materials as well as personal copies and photocopies may be placed on reserve. We do not place the following categories of items on reserve:
- special collection materials
- books from libraries other than Carleton or St. Olaf; InterLibrary Services is not to be used for obtaining items for reserve
Course Reserves, whether open, closed, or electronic, are governed by copyright law and by Carleton College's Copyright Policy. In general, materials may be copied and placed on reserve if they are:
- in the public domain
- used with permission from the copyright holder
- used under the provision of fair use (U.S.C Title 17, Section 107). Remember that each use of each material must be weighted against the four factors of fair use, as laid out in the University of Minnesota's Fair Use Analysis Tool.
U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C.
Section 107. Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified in that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include --
- The purpose or character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
- The nature of the copyrighted work;
- The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
- The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
You should follow these guidelines when submitting photocopies from copyrighted works for placement on reserve:
- The amount of material should be reasonable in relation to the total amount of material assigned for one term of a course, taking into account the nature of the course, its subject matter, and its level. Library reserve should not take the place of a purchased textbook, but rather supplement the other course material.
- Each copy of the material should include citation information on the first page.
- Each copy of the material should contain a copyright notice on the first page. This notice consists of:
Copyright (c)[year], [name of copyright owner]
An example would be:
Copyright (c)1983, Alice Walker
Such a notice is often already present on the first page of a journal article. The information needed to compose such a notice is usually available on the title page of the work.
- Only photocopy the material if doing so does not harm the market for the work. (In general, the Library should own at least one copy of the work.) The number of articles or chapters photocopied from a single journal issue or book should be limited. A collection of copies comprising an entire journal issue or book will not be accepted for reserve. The reserve use of the same photocopied materials in multiple courses or successive years usually requires advance permission from the owner of the copyright.
Check these websites for more information about copyright:
- Carleton College - Copyright Information
- Stanford University - Copyright and Fair Use
- University of Minnesota - Understanding Fair Use
Obtaining Copyright Permission
The Library will seek permission for items faculty members place on ereserves. If a faculty member wishes to obtain permission for materials that do not meet Fair Use, the American Association of Publishers suggests that the following information be included in a permission request letter to the copyright owner:
- title, author and/or editor, and edition of materials to be duplicated
- exact material to be used, giving amount, page numbers, chapters, and, if possible, a photocopy of the material
- number of copies to be made
- purpose of duplicated materials
- form of distribution (classroom, newsletter, etc.)
- whether or not the material is to be sold
- type of reprint (ditto, photography, offset, typeset)
The request should be sent, together with a self-addressed return envelope, to the permissions department of the publisher in question. If the address of the publisher does not appear in the material, it may be obtained in The Literary Marketplace, published by the R. R. Bowker Company and shelved under call number PN161 .L5 in the Library reference collection.
The process of granting permission requires time for the publisher to check the status of the copyright and to evaluate the nature of the request. It is advisable, therefore, to allow enough lead time to obtain permission before the materials are needed.
The Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) also has the right to grant permission and collect fees for photocopying rights for certain publications. Dealing with the CCC, when applicable, can often prove more efficient than dealing directly with publishers. Their address is:

Since 1998 Integrity Tree Services, the premier utility arborist organization, has been providing services to Utility Transmission & Distribution clients. Integrity Tree owns and safely operates a large number of key pieces of equipment for their clients to achieve the fastest, safest most economical methods for Vegetation Management, ROW maintenance and clearing. Using Timbco, Jiraffe, large Track Mowers & Track Chippers and our investment into continuous safety training and environmental stewardship - set us apart.
Integrity Tree Services is very different from most vegetation management companies. Most of our clients have been in the industry for many years but have not seen the techniques and equipment we employ.
Integrity Tree is focused on providing the absolute safest and most efficient means to keep your R.O.W. clear.We mechanize every aspect of our work possible. This eliminates much of the exposure to injury by manual labor (struck by and chainsaw accidents). It also removes the risk of a tree contacting your lines by physically holding the tree while it is cut and bringing it down in a very controlled manor (using our Timbco). Following the Timbco our Tracked Chippers will quickly turn the debris into an attractive usable site with chips spread evenly. For swamps and steep hills we use a Brontosaurus mower, processing material that is inaccessible to other machines. Turning a once dangerous hand cutting situation into a safe controlled jobsite.

Cheapest Utility No Lure as Eletrobras Sinks: Corporate Brazil
The 54 percent tumble in Centrais Eletricas Brasileiras SA (ELET6) that has made the state-run Brazilian company the cheapest electric utility in the world is failing to persuade analysts to abandon their sell ratings.
Eletrobras, as the company is known, has the highest ratio of sell recommendations among all Brazilian stocks, three months after the government unveiled energy price cuts that the utility said will almost erase its earnings. Six of 11 firms, including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Banco Itau BBA SA, have either advised clients to sell the shares or placed their ratings under review in the past six months, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The energy rate cuts, part of President Dilma Rousseff's efforts to shore up economic growth, have driven electric utility stocks down 22 percent since August, more than 10 times the slump in the benchmark Bovespa index. While Eletrobras trades at 0.12 times its book value, the lowest ratio among the world's 3,000 biggest companies by market value tracked by Bloomberg, it's not cheap enough to compensate for the company's earnings outlook, according to Banco Safra SA.
"The problem is they don't manage to make profit out of their book value, that's why the price-to-book value is quite low," Sergio Tamashiro, an analyst at Banco Safra who has a recommendation equivalent to sell for Eletrobras, said in a phone interview from Sao Paulo. "There are doubts about returns."
Interventionist Policy
The lower electricity rates will almost wipe away Rio de Janeiro-based Eletrobras's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, Chief Financial Officer Armando Casado de Araujo said on a conference call with analysts Nov. 19. As part of the government's energy industry changes, which were first announced in September and became effective Jan. 24, electricity rates were cut by as much as 32 percent.
Brazil amended electric utility contracts as Rousseff intervened in the economy to tame inflation and rekindle growth that economists surveyed by Bloomberg estimate slowed to 1 percent last year. The government also forced state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA (PETR4) to sell gasoline below market prices and pressured banks to reduce borrowing costs.
Market 'Overreacts'
Finance Minister Guido Mantega said in a Feb. 26 interview at Bloomberg headquarters in New York that the magnitude of the Eletrobras selloff is unwarranted.
"The market always overreacts," Mantega said. "Eletrobras is a strong company that has kept all its concessions for more than 30 years. It will continue investing. Stocks fall one day and rise the next."
Shares rose 0.6 percent to 12.48 reais at 3:19 p.m. in Sao Paulo. The Bovespa index added 0.6 percent.
Eletrobras's press office declined to comment in an e- mailed response to questions on the stock's value.
Pedro Galdi, the chief strategist at Sao Paulo-based brokerage SLW Corretora, said Eletrobras may rebound if it is able to sustain an "attractive" dividend policy.
"It's still too early to say now is a good time to buy, but I think we have to wait at least for its next financial report to see what's really going on," Galdi said by telephone. "The payout probably won't be as high as it was before, but if it manages to convince investors that dividend will still be attractive, that could be a positive for the stock."
Dividend Outlook
The effect lower electricity rates will have on the company's dividend policy is one of the reasons Itau BBA rates Eletrobras underperform, meaning the stock is forecast to post lower returns than the market average.
"We remain skeptical about Eletrobras's dividends, and continue to see the need for capital injection in order to accommodate the company's heavy" investment plan, Itau BBA analysts Marcos Severine and Mariana Coelho wrote in the firm's most recent report about the company, dated Dec. 3. The bank's press office didn't respond to an e-mail request for an interview with the analysts.
Gabriel Salas, an analyst at JPMorgan, who rates Eletrobras underweight, declined to comment on his recommendation.
Eletrobras's dividend yield was 7.3 percent in 2011, compared with an average 4.2 percent among the Bovespa's members, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The company is scheduled to report its fourth-quarter earnings March 27.
While valuations may appear inexpensive, investors are still concerned about the changes Brazil imposed on the industry and the risk of similar interference in the future, said Fausto Gouveia, who helps manage about 380 million reais ($192.4 million) at Legan Administracao de Recursos.
Cost Cuts
"The government destroyed the electric sector," Gouveia said in a phone interview from Sao Paulo. "It's not clear if they achieved the results they were seeking when making the changes, or if something else will come after that. Prices may look attractive, but I don't see a strong flow of buyers going to those stocks anytime soon."
Eletrobras is planning to cut its workforce by as much as 15 percent as it tries to reduce costs to help compensate for the lower rates. The company may also sell assets under a corporate restructuring as it seeks to cut total expenses by 30 percent in the next three years, Chief Executive Officer Jose da Costa Carvalho told reporters in Brasilia on Feb. 20.
The utility "didn't have a choice" other than to try to cut costs now that it sees lower rates pushing revenue lower, said Felipe Rocha, an analyst at Curitiba, Brazil-based brokerage Omar Camargo Investimentos.
New Plans
"Eletrobras is revising its plans and trying to cut costs," Rocha said in a phone interview. "But as in most state-run companies, this will probably take some time to produce actual results. We'll probably have to wait a few more months, maybe a year, to see if things are really moving forward."
Because of the new electricity rate structure, it is difficult to assess the company's valuation. The changes complicate profit projections because past results can no longer be used as a reference, said Henrique Kleine, the head analyst at Magliano SA brokerage.
"The company is in a totally different situation than it was six months or a year ago," Kleine said in a phone interview. "It looks cheap, but it can get cheaper and cheaper. I'd stay away from this stock for a while."

I find the most confidence and precision comes from using hold-down block guides or finger boards; one pressing the work laterally against the fence and another holding the work down against the table. Finger boards work best I feel as they also provide a measure of anti-kickback security. Either way, the work can be held and advanced confidently and any cut machined accurately and repeatably.
I agree totally with your comments having used shellac for decades, specifically Zinsser SealCoat. Unfortunately I've seen the price for this product practically double in the last few years (now $80 - $90 / gallon) here in Canada and only available in that size. Most resellers only bring it in by special order and insist on selling only in case lots (2 gallons) I wonder why. Is this situation true elsewhere? I hate to have to give up on such a fine finish over economics.
Probably Nexabond could be applied to one area of a joint while traditional adhesive was applied to the remainder of the joint, allowing the fast curing Nexabond to act as a "clamp" while the traditional adhesive sets up/cures. I've used this technique with slow curing cyanoacrylate quite successfully with no compromise in joint strength and no need for long-term clamping.
This must be a uniquely American issue as the video is restricted to within your country. I guess the rest of us can focus on the task at hand, safe machine practices, rather than being distracted by controversy. For my part, any safe technology that can be provided to enhance an operation is welcomed, but it should be non-intrusive and affordable. A simple riving knife with anti-kickback fingers and a feather-board for instance. Optionally, also an independent blade cover for an added measure. While SawStop is a noble notion, it's proposed implementation has become a misguided attempt at ramming one solution down everyone's throat. Surely there's a better solution that we can all agree upon which will include developments from the industry in general rather than merely one solution from a well intentioned entrepreneur bent on personal profit at great expense to everyone else.
Beyond the excellent points you make, the turners stance is too compact to safely control the cut along the length of the spindle plus he's standing too far away from the lathe to safely do any turning in a controlled manner. Feet should be well planted and at least shoulder width apart and the body in contact with the lathe at some point, like one hand snugly against the tool-rest as you mention. It'd be wise to wear a close fitting smock or at least a longbodied untucked tee-shirt; his pants, pockets and shirt will get pretty uncomfortable when they are full of shavings and discomfort = distraction which is potentially unsafe too!
Good Tip,Thank you, this is something to plan for. A couple of questions though... 1)is it possible this is brand specific, that other makers adhesives will perform differently where cured visibility is concerned, and 2) would glue line visibility have changed had you been working with a different species of wood?
As someone who spent years as a cutter-grinder may I offer the following which I've used successfully for decades: - A carborundum stick with a straight surface will do as good a job dressing the wheel as the diamond dresser shown at about 1/3 the cost. Both work well. - dressing the wheel perfectly flat and square to the sides will allow you to produce a well profiled bevel in far less time and with less metal ground away than if you crown the wheel as you suggest. The same gently controlled touch you use to keep the tool steel cool will help you keep from grinding the corners away if that's your concern and as you're producing a good bevel quicker, the tool will be cooler still. - to make sure the edge ground is square to the tool sides, using a small machinists square referenced to the tools side and a red indelible marker,lay a red mark at the extreme cutting edge and back about 1/32" behind the bevel on the back of the tool steel. This will be a constant visual reference as you grind. - use the same red (not black or blue as these colors are hard to see as you grind) indelible marker to coat the entire bevel area you're going to grind so you can plainly see where the metal is being removed rather than inspecting for 'scratches'. - make sure there's ample light, both direct and incidental, in the immediate area where you're grinding so you can safely see what you're doing and can inspect your progress with light refracting off the bevel / edge rather than hitting it straight on.
A few comments if I may. You're on the right track but as a former professional cutter-grinder I think I can offer some tips that will save money and time. Re: dressing the wheel, while a diamond dresser such as you show is very good but also costly in some opinions; a simple carborundum stick will do well too at a fraction of the cost. Also, if the wheel is maintained perfectly flat rather than crowned and kept square to the sides, a true grind will be achieved in a fraction of the time with much less metal ground away.If you're worried about grinding off corners, the same light, controlled touch you employ to prevent burning will keep the edge from bluing or digging in on the corners. To assure the bevel on your tool steel is going to be ground square to the sides, before grinding simply place a small machinists square across the back or flat of the tool, referenced to one of the sides and with a red indelible marker draw a line encompassing the extreme edge behind the bevel going back about 1/32". This clean line, square to the sides will be a constant visual reference for squareness as you grind. With the same indelible red marker (not black or blue which are hard to see when grinding) lightly coat the entire bevel to be ground so you can easily see where you're removing steel rather than looking for "scratches". Lastly, make sure there is ample light, both direct and incident, so you can see what you're doing safely and can view the edge being worked illuminated by a refractive light source so you can see the light as it glints off the surfaces and edge. I hope this helps.
Perfectly Safe...probably not. Liable to insight litigation if exposed in your pages...probably, if someone unthinkingly follows your instruction without using thoughtful common sense. Besides, why show it other than to support a practice most of us safely use to one extent or another already!!!
I believe woodworking designers/makers can benefit immensely from such an organization but it must be mandated to attract and include diversely like-minded people from all skill levels, genders and ethnicities. Such groups are excellent forums for exchanging ideas and energy and providing much needed education and appreciation. We need look no further than the American Association of Woodturners (AAW) to support that statement. When it was formed in the 80's, interest in and appreciation of lathe turned objects was quite regional and spotty at best; today, globally, the appreciation of and development of "woodturning" is at an all-time high, largely as a result of the AAW's mandate to attract members from all skill levels, styles and backgrounds and to encourage the free exchange of ideas between them. This diverse "cross pollination" has kept the craft growing, the work fresh and the association an exciting group to be involved with. Professionals interact with each other while inspiring eager hobbyists and collectors. Skilled artists and hobbyists teach and inspire wide-eyed wannabes, most of whom evolve to become inspiring teachers to the next generation. Collectors buy unique works from maker of all levels, legitimizing the works value and inspiring galleries to represent new makers. All this has been going on since the elimination of "woodworking" in our education systems. Clubs and guilds have formed in communities across North America with monthly meetings held to promote the appreciation and techniques at the grassroots level, with many of these club members also members of the AAW, their clubs becoming "chapters" of the AAW in order to receive benefits for their local members. From a simple newsletter in the 80's to a quarterly magazine and website today plus an excellent educational program providing numerous grants annually, the association offers much for all members at a variety of levels of involvement. "The Furniture Society" same could provide a similar forum but I think that it might consider adopting a broader mandate than it seems to have at present. Beginning with its name, "furniture society" implies a focus on furniture only and "society" comes across as pretentious, connoting elitism. "The Woodworkers Alliance" or some more general descriptor might be more welcoming to many. As an experienced craftsman woodworker since 1988,I enjoy borrowing from the past but also expressing myself by creating from original contemporary thought. I don't just make furniture; I design and make boxes and other joinery based objects; I create both functional and decorative production work, corporate presentation pieces as well as one-of-a-kind collectible artwork. I know I'm not alone in having a variety of interests within woodworking; I suspect serving wider segment of the population would benefit both 'The Furniture Society' and society as a whole. Too narrow a focus seldom spawns growth. Without growth, the organization becomes a group run by too few as ideas, energy and interest wane and membership declines. Fortunately, a creative, energetic executive packing a broad mandate and a nurturing attitude can create the right conditions for growth and that's often infectious in all the right ways. I hope my views help answer the question and encourage constructive conversation; we'd all benefit from a healthy organization to interact with.

Despite a cold temperate climate and low human population density, the Northern Great Plains has become a persistent hot spot for human West Nile virus (WNV) disease in North America. Understanding the spatial and temporal patterns of WNV can provide insights into the epidemiological and ecological factors that influence disease emergence and persistence. We analyzed the 1,962 cases of human WNV disease that occurred in South Dakota from 2002–2012 to identify the geographic distribution, seasonal cycles, and interannual variability of disease risk. The geographic and seasonal patterns of WNV have changed since the invasion and initial epidemic in 2002–2003, with cases shifting toward the eastern portion of South Dakota and occurring earlier in the transmission season in more recent years. WNV cases were temporally autocorrelated at lags of up to six weeks and early season cumulative case numbers were correlated with seasonal totals, indicating the possibility of using these data for short-term early detection of outbreaks. Epidemiological data are likely to be most effective for early warning of WNV virus outbreaks if they are integrated with entomological surveillance and environmental monitoring to leverage the strengths and minimize the weaknesses of each information source.
Emerging infectious diseases, including those that have appeared for the first time, rapidly increased in incidence, or expanded into new geographic areas, are a significant concern in the fields of human and veterinary medicine as well as wildlife conservation [
WNV is indigenous to Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia and was first identified in North America in the New York City metropolitan area during the summer of 1999 [
Disease mapping and exploratory spatial analysis of epidemiological data can help to identify the geographic locations of populations at risk and facilitate the development of hypotheses about the epidemiological and ecological processes that drive these patterns [
Since its arrival in 2002, WNV has had a significant public health impact in South Dakota and neighboring Great Plains states. From 1999–2008 South Dakota had the highest average incidence of WNV neuroinvasive disease in the United States [
The overarching goal of our study was to extend this previous work by characterizing the spatio-temporal epidemiology of WNV disease in South Dakota from 2002–2012. The underlying rationale was the expectation that identifying spatial and temporal patterns of human disease occurrence will provide a clearer understanding of when and where WNV risk is the highest and whether these patterns have changed since the emergence of WNV in South Dakota. We addressed the following specific questions: (1) Where in South Dakota is WNV risk highest and has this geographic pattern changed over time? (2) During what part of the year is WNV risk highest and has this seasonal pattern changed over time? (3) What are the temporal patterns (deviations from expected seasonal cycles and long-term trends) of WNV anomalies and can they be used to predict future WNV risk? (4) Do WNV epidemics arise simultaneously throughout the state or do cases increase earlier in some geographic locations than in others?
The study area encompassed the state of South Dakota, which is located in the northern Great Plains of the United States, a region historically dominated by prairie vegetation. Environmental variability across the state is strongly affected by precipitation, which generally decreases along an east-to-west gradient (

Dot density maps of WNV cases in South Dakota from 2002–2012. (
Epidemiological data on human WNV disease cases were collected by the South Dakota Department of Health. Each case was identified by disease type (WNV fever or neuroinvasive disease), referenced temporally by the reported date of disease onset, and referenced spatially by county, ZIP code, and city of residence. Each case was georeferenced using the 2010 map of ZIP code tabulation areas (ZCTAs) from the U.S. Census Bureau. A total of 23 cases (1.1% of the total number) were missing ZIP codes and were assigned to a ZCTA based on the county and city of residence. In addition, 60 cases (2.8% of the total number) had ZIP codes that were not present in the 2010 ZCTA map and were assigned to a 2010 ZCTA by referencing the 2000 ZCTA map or based on the county and city of residence. The 2010 population data for each ZCTA were also obtained from the U.S. Census Bureau.
ZIP codes were developed by the U.S. Postal Service to classify street segments, address ranges and delivery points for mail delivery. ZCTAs were created by the U.S. Census Bureau as spatial units to provide approximate mapping of ZIP code boundaries using aggregated Census blocks. However, it is difficult to map ZIP code boundaries precisely, and ZIP codes are frequently split, discontinued, added, or expanded [
Spatial patterns of WNV cases were displayed as dot density maps by selecting a random location for each case within its assigned ZCTA. Spatial patterns of WNV risk were mapped using annual incidence rates and were spatially smoothed by incorporating information from surrounding areas to reduce variability caused by small population sizes at the ZCTA level. For this initial assessment of WNV risk, smoothing was carried out using a simple population-weighted mean smoothing approach as suggested by Waller and Gotway [
Seasonal patterns of total human WNV cases were summarized based on a standardized 18-week season in which all cases prior to 1 June were included in week 1; the months of June (weeks 2–5), July (weeks 6–9), August (weeks 10–13), and September (weeks 14–17) were each divided into four weeks; and all cases after September 30th were included in week 18. Weekly cumulative totals of human WNV cases were graphed for each year and for the three time periods used in the mapping (2002–2003, 2004–2007, and 2008–2012). Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests were used to test for differences in the seasonal distribution of WNV cases among these three time periods. These tests were carried out using all human WNV cases (including both WNV fever and neuroinvasive disease), only the WNV fever cases, and only the WNV neuroinvasive disease cases.
The 18 weeks of WNV data for each year were concatenated to generate a continuous time series of WNV cases from 2002–2012. This log-transformed time series was then decomposed into seasonal, trend, and remainder components with the seasonal and trend decomposition using loess (STL) procedure [
WNV cases were also analyzed to determine whether the numbers of cases occurring during the early part of the WNV season (June and July) were predictive of the total number of WNV cases occurring throughout the entire season. For this analysis, we summarized the cumulative total number of WNV cases occurring in each year from week 2 (the first week in June) through week 9 (the last week in July). We computed the Spearman rank correlation between each of these cumulative variables and the total number of cases occurring for 2004–2012 (
We conducted an analysis of space-time interactions during major WNV outbreak years to determine whether there were significant changes in the geographic locations of WNV cases throughout the season. To have sufficient data for the analysis, we focused on major outbreak years during which more than 200 WNV cases occurred in South Dakota (2003, 2005, 2007, and 2012). For each of these years, we used a generalized additive model (GAM) to model the day of year (DOY) of each case as the dependent variable using a smoothed functions of the spatial coordinates (eastings and northings) of the ZCTA centroids as independent variables. Statistically significant relationships between DOY and one or both of the independent variables indicated that different geographic locations had different mean dates of WNV onset. For years where there was significant spatial variability in mean DOY, the models were applied across the entire state to produce a continuous map of the mean DOY of WNV cases for each ZCTA.
The dot density maps emphasized the strong spatial and temporal heterogeneity of human WNV cases within South Dakota (

The smoothed maps of WNV incidence further highlighted changes in the geographic distribution of WNV risk over time. The maps of total WNV incidence showed a shift in the geographic patterns of risk from central and western portions of South Dakota in 2002–2003 to the eastern portion of the state in 2004–2007 and 2008–2012 (

There was statistically significant variability in the onset date of WNV cases in both the north-south and east-west directions in 2003, and in the east-west direction in 2005 and 2007 (
There has been a shift in the spatio-temporal niche of human WNV risk in South Dakota from the initial invasion and first major epidemic of WNV in 2003–2003 to the subsequent years of endemic WNV from 2004-onward. In 2002–2003, human WNV cases were broadly distributed across the state and in particular were higher in the central and western portions. Starting in 2004, cases were more concentrated in the eastern portion of the state, and this eastward shift became even more pronounced during the 2008–2012 period. In addition, there were significantly fewer cases in the early part of the WNV season (before the last week of July) and more cases in the later part of the WNV season (after the third week of August) in 2002–2003 compared to 2004 and later years. These changes suggest that the spatial and temporal patterns observed during the large 2003 epidemic have become less relevant to current ecological and epidemiological processes that drive WNV risk, and that disease maps and other inferences about human WNV risk should be based on epidemiological data from 2004 onward.
Climatic variability is one possible explanation for the observed changes. A geographic analysis of the 2003 WNV epidemic in the northern Great Plains highlighted strong clustering of WNV in the Dakotas, Nebraska, and eastern Montana and Wyoming [
From 2004 onward, and particularly in 2008–2012, one of the regions of highest WNV risk within South Dakota was concentrated in eastern South Dakota within the James River Valley, which lies between the uplands of the Missouri Couteau to the West and the Prairie Couteau to the East. This broad lowland was created by the James Lobe of the Laurentide ice sheet and occupies approximately 49,000 km2. It is characterized by a high density of seasonal and permanent wetlands and a landscape mosaic of row crops and grasslands (
Early detection systems are widely used to identify the onset of mosquito-borne disease outbreaks by tracking human disease cases. Forecasting techniques range from relatively simple methods based on thresholds determined from historical data [
Two major limitations to the use of human surveillance data for forecasting disease outbreaks are data quality and data availability. For human WNV disease in the United States, all cases are assessed based on a consistent definition established by the Centers for Disease Control and are subject to laboratory confirmation. However, an unknown degree of spatial uncertainty is introduced because some patients may contract WNV at a location away their residence. In addition, the delay introduced as a result of the time lags between amplification of the virus in mosquito and bird populations, transmission to humans, onset of symptoms, medical diagnosis, and case confirmation mean that human cases are a lagging indicator of WNV risk. As result, WNV amplification will have already occurred and mosquito numbers and infection rates will likely already be high by the time WNV is detected in the human population. In a state like South Dakota that experiences human WNV cases every year, detection of anomalies in early season case data does have some potential to predict the magnitude of WNV in human populations during the peak transmission season. In particular, our results suggest that human surveillance data may be able to indicate the onset of a significant WNV outbreak with several weeks of lead time. This type of alert would not provide enough time to take action to prevent virus amplification, but it might still allow public health officials to take steps such as expanding adult mosquito control and issuing preventive warnings before the period of peak transmission to humans.
One promising approach toward leveraging the strengths and minimizing the limitation of human case surveillance for disease outbreak detection is to use blended approaches that integrate multiple streams of surveillance data. For example, a study of WNV in Colorado combined environmental data, entomological data, and human WNV case data to develop an improved map of disease risk in the Northern Colorado Front Range [
Human WNV disease exhibits strong patterns of geographic variability, seasonal cycles, and interannual fluctuations in South Dakota. The geographic and seasonal patterns of WNV have changed since the invasion and initial epidemic in 2002–2003, with cases shifting toward the eastern portion of South Dakota and occurring earlier in the transmission season in more recent years. The underlying cause of these shifts is currently unknown, but the results suggest that more recent data on endemic WNV from 2004 onward should be used for risk mapping and assessment of seasonality for public health planning purposes. Temporal analyses indicate that there is a potential for forecasting upcoming large WNV outbreaks with lead times of up to several weeks. Although this time frame is likely insufficient for preventing virus amplification, it could still help reduce transmission to humans by providing time to ramp up emergency mosquito control and disseminate messages to the public to take personal protection measures. Ultimately, information from epidemiological surveillance should be integrated with environmental monitoring, entomological surveillance, and other sources of information to provide more effective predictions of the likelihood of future WNV outbreaks.

ACLU of New Jersey Loses Bid for Emergency Access to Ballots
The American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey lost a bid to have emergency access to ballots extended for people displaced by Hurricane Sandy.
"Because of the large volume of complaints from voters who were not getting a response to their e-mail or fax requests for ballots, we would've liked to have another method that provided more assurance that the votes of displaced New Jersey residents would be counted," ACLU-NJ Acting Executive Director Ed Barocas said today in an e-mailed statement.
An ACLU attorney had gone before a Superior Court judge in Newark on behalf of voters who applied to election officials by e-mail or fax machine for access to a ballot and hadn't received a response, ACLU spokeswoman Katie Wang said in a telephone interview earlier. The organization wanted voters to be able to use the Federal Write-in Absentee Ballot, Wang said.
After the storm displaced thousands of residents last week, New Jersey said that residents had until 5 p.m. today to e-mail or fax the state's 21 county clerks for a ballot. The clerks must process those requests by Nov. 9 at noon, and voters must return their ballot that day by 8 p.m.
"The problem is that when people have made petitions by fax or e-mail, they haven't gotten a response," Wang said. "A lot of these offices are overwhelmed."
Wang said that at least 1,500 people have failed to get a reply from election officials.
Chris Christie
Governor Chris Christie said today in Westwood, New Jersey, that of 3,000 polling places statewide, almost 100 had to be moved because of a lack of power or damage to the building. Christie, a Republican, spoke to reporters after meeting with children returning to school in Bergen County.
Christie said he had heard of some snags with voters trying to learn the location of their polling place by texting a statewide system using the number 877877.
"We've had very few instances this morning with problems other than problems with that texting software and they seem to have been cleared up," he said. "The only place I've heard about problems so far is maybe a lack of voting machines in Hoboken."
Christie urged residents to vote despite the hardships created by the hurricane.
"I know you've got a lot on your plate right now in your life, but it's a national election and it's important to vote," Christie said. "It's important to have your voice heard, and New Jersey's voice heard, in the nation as well as state and local elections. There's no reason not to."
Rumors, Confusion
Keisha Tayborn, 39, of South Orange, said rumors and confusion were swirling before the election about when and where to vote. Tayborn, a customer service representative at Cablevision, said co-workers speculated about how to vote by fax, by e-mail and in person at the county clerk's office in Newark. She said she chose to vote at her usual polling place at the Marshall School.
"I didn't want to do that," Tayborn said of the voting alternatives. "I don't feel comfortable with it: You have hacking, you have fraud and so I just wanted to do it the old- fashioned way. There really was a lot of confusion."

Bucks will attempt to change their luck next season by changing uniforms
The Bucks' playoff run - which was actually more of a slow and somewhat painful jog than a rigorous sprint - did not inspire many Milwaukeeans to hurry to their local sporting goods store in order to purchase t-shirts, hats, mini-balls and other team paraphernalia.
As it turns out, that's not entirely bad.
Multiple sources have told Saucy Stadium Secrets that the Bucks will unveil new uniforms next season, ditching the purple, green and silver color palette for a green, red and white scheme that more closely resembles the threads that the team wore during the early 1980s.
The Bucks' logo will also undergo a facelift, but insiders say we will not see a return to the original "Bango'' buck, which spun a basketball on its hoof while wearing a green sweater emblazoned with the letter "B.''
The Bucks used forest green, red and white as their official colors from their inception in 1968 through the 1987-'88 season, but red was fazed out beginning in 1985. In the late 1980s, the team used various shades of green - forest, kelly and lime - along with a white accent.
After celebrating their 25th anniversary during the 1992-'93 season, the Bucks modernized their look by changing their uniforms and logo to incorporate the purple and silver along with hunter green. Bango got a makeover as well, moving from the popular cartoon to a more menacing depiction of an eight-point white tail buck on a triangular background.
The history section of the team's official media guide indicates that the change was made to "carry the organization through the 1990's and into the next century as an impactful and memorable identifier."
In their first season in purple, 1993-'94, the Bucks posted a 20-62 record, a mark that remains the worst in franchise history. The team missed the playoffs for the first five years in the new uniforms, then made the post-season in five out of six seasons from 1998-2004.
In all, the Bucks finished higher than fourth place in the standings twice and made the playoffs six times during the 13 seasons they wore purple. Facing elimination Wednesday night at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the Bucks bumbled to an embarrassing 122-93 defeat that gave Detroit a 4-1 victory in the best-of-seven series.
If that was the Bucks' final game in purple, perhaps it was fitting. Given the developments in basketball and fashion over the past 13 years, a change is definitely in order.

jay herde said: As an advertising art director and lifelong Bucks fan, its been embarrassing watching this team drag itself around the court with the current purple and green aberration. These uniforms never looked professional or exciting. They lack character and more importantly from the logo to the uniforms are very poorly designed. The fact that they've held on to these for so long is regrettable. Good design has persuasive power and excites the imagination and our uniforms the last 10 years never did. It's about time!!
