Anthony Fauci recovering after hospitalization for West Nile virus
  • "... is now recovering at home ... is expected to make a full recovery ..."

    To save you a click. (There's not much more in the article.)

    Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention where he got it. Was he visiting some lab or did he get bit someplace some locals should be taking precautions?

    (He's retired, but I don't know if he still has a presence in the industry or not, giving talks and doing visits.)

  • [USA] Moving to a colder climate soon (Denver or Minneapolis-ish), how do I prepare my car?
  • +1 to making sure your washer fluid can handle the cold and to making sure your tires handle snow/ice well. (There are definitely all-seasons that'll do well or better than some winter tires. Unless you know that where you're moving doesn't plow down to pavement, I'd avoid studded tires.). Tirerack.com used to have a ton of data about tire performance on ice & snow, so you might look there, but they've been reducing the range of tires they carry and rate in the last few years so they may not have your tires.

    Find a snow brush for your car that will let you reach & clear the snow off your car. I'll also say I often am most disappointed by the ice scraper on a brush -- meaning that's the part that makes me regret the purchase of an individual brush.

  • North Korean hacker got hired by US security vendor, immediately loaded malware
  • My thought on that is that they needed a new location so their image didn't just look like a modified version of another of the victim's public images, so NK searched for a stock photo for a professional looking location. Ars has just located the stock image they started from.
