| Phish fans brave plague-related drama for Labor Day weekend shows - The Denver Post Posted: 30 Aug 2019 05:42 PM PDT  A little bit of plague? Some last-minute scrambling to avoid sleeping in your car? A few air-conditioned shuttles? That's just par for the course for Phish fans, who braved some travel headaches, health hazards and housing hullabaloo for the jam band's annual Labor Day weekend shows at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. This month concerns about fleas and prairie dogs infected with the pneumonic plague forced the venue to cancel camping outside the venue, where some 3,000 people planned to set up for the weekend. Parking lots also were closed, diverting show-goers into an overflow lot down the street at Northfield Stapleton Mall. The late-breaking news caused thousands of people to change their plans, but stressing about sleeping is not what the Phish experience is all about. Karin Weule thought she'd be camping for the shows when she planned her trip from New Mexico. As she contemplated sleeping in her car, a friend heard about her predicament and connected Weule with a relative who had an open bed. "My philosophy is: Surrender to the flow," Weule said as she unloaded a box full of brightly colored crocheted hats from her trunk. "That's the beauty of the band. It's unconditional love." On Friday afternoon, Phishheads from across the country slowly trickled into the mall parking lot. One man strummed on a guitar, while others sipped on IPAs and chatted about their favorite shows. Dan Mansfield learned about the camping ban when his credit card suddenly was refunded. "I was like, 'Noooo!'" Mansfield said with a laugh. But he quickly turned the unfortunate news into a timely scheme. Mansfield stood up straight and displayed his creation: bright blue T-shirts with a picture of a rabid prairie dog in a tie-dyed bandanna. The shirts read "Plague Side, Rage Side," a play on a popular Phish motto (the band's pianist, Page McConnell, is positioned stage right during live performances.) "I was bummed at first," Mansfield said as he hawked the T-shirts to fans in the lot. "But you can't go through life being bummed." Mike Torretti took a sip of his beer as he watched Mansfield show off his creation. A Breckenridge resident, Torretti has been to more than 60 Phish shows, including one at which he and his friends trudged eight miles to the venue because of flooding. "This is par for the course," Torretti said. "We'll roll with it and have a great time." Phish fans said the band always brings it, but especially when they know their fans have been through a lot. Without ample parking at the stadium, fans boarded coach shuttle buses to take them to the show. The transportation setup appeared to be running smoothly, and security reported no issues. Outside the stadium, vendors sold beer and merchandise, steaming hot gyros and brightly colored dresses. Fans lined up to buy tickets, while others sat beside their cars in lawn chairs, soaking in the pristine Denver weather. One group laughed about the whole scene, making jokes about the "Plague Year!" Chris Sherman of Broomfield said the street with all the vendors — known as "Shakedown Street" — was a "little lamer than usual," citing lower energy from the lack of camping. Next to him, William Crane agreed. "But it's still going to be a great show," he added.  |

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation
