To obtain some empirical measure of any remaining higher-J emission after this cold template is removed from the CO SLEDS of our galaxies, we simply take the residual flux in the J=5,6,7 CO lines. We decline to fit a warm template, because there is no good motivation for assuming the warm portion of these SLEDS will have any particular form. In addition, there is simply not enough informaiton in the few J>4 detected lines to fit a RADEX model with 3 free parameters. Fig.~\ref{fig:warm_vs_cold} shows the relationship between the integrated intensity of the J=6 line compared to the summed integrated intensities of the fit cold component.   \subsection{Warm RADEX fit}  Because systematics are more minimal, we also fit a Radex model to the FTS CO lines, in order to investigate whether any properties inferred by these fits are mirrored by [CI] properties.  \subsection{CI and CO}
