Prevalence of tick borne encephalitis virus in tick nymphs in relation to climatic factors on the southern coast of Norway
Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) is among the most important vector borne diseases of humans in Europe and is currently identified as a major health problem in many countries. TBE endemic zones have expanded over the past two decades, as well as the number of reported cases within endemic areas. Multiple factors are ascribed for the increased incidence of TBE, including climatic change. The number of TBE cases has also increased in Norway over the past decade, and the human cases cluster along the southern coast of Norway. In Norway the distribution and prevalence of TBE virus (TBEV) in tick populations is largely unknown. The objectives of this study were to estimate the TBEV prevalence in Ixodes ricinus from seven locations and to assess the relationship between the TBEV prevalence and site-specific climatic variables.
A total of 5630 questing nymphs were collected and analyzed in pools of ten. All pools were screened with an in-house real-time RT-PCR, and the positive pools were pyrosequenced. Two methods, minimum infection rate (MIR) and a frequentist method (EPP) for pooled prevalence estimations were calculated and compared. Climatic data were descriptively compared to the corresponding EPP of each location in order to explain variations in TBEV prevalence.
The seven foci of TBEV had an estimated overall prevalence (EPP) in pools of nymphs combined, of 0.53% with 95% CI (0.35–0.75), with point prevalence ranging between 0.11%–1.22%. The sites with the highest point prevalences were within the municipalities which had the highest numbers of registered TBE cases. The results indicate that the location with highest point prevalence had the highest relative mean humidity and lowest mean saturation deficit and vice versa for the lowest EPP.
Our study confirms the existence of TBEV endemic foci in Norway. These results are of importance to increase the awareness of TBEV infections in Norway and could be used for public information and recommendations of TBE vaccination. EPP is the method of choice for pooled prevalence calculations, since it provides estimated prevalences with confidence intervals. Our findings emphasise the possible importance of microclimatic conditions regarding the TBEV prevalence in ticks.

Toxoplasmosis: Am I not taking this seriously enough? I don't do cat litter (he goes outside anyway, much like the other neighborhood cats), but I do kiss him on the mouth sort of. And yeah, he hunts. Also, I pet the neighborhood cats. Is this all fine, or should I become germophobic about touching any of these animals?

Breast pump hint that may help someone -
Some insurance companies WILL cover the cost (or at least part of the cost) of a breast pump (including PIS) if your child's pediatrician writes a prescription for it. ... Apparently it was covered under durable medical equipment or something.

Consider the following scenario:
1. You are using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.
2. A parent folder includes a child folder with different permission than the parent.
3. The folder is deleted using Windows Explorer.
When the folder is deleted, a popup is displayed warning that the folder is shared with other people when it is not.
This is due to the way in which the Access Control List (ACL) is queried by Windows Explorer to determine if the folder is shared. When the parent and child folder have different permissions, two security entries are returned, which causes Explorer to treat the folder as though it is shared.
As a workaround, the following registry key can be deleted:
WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Deleting this registry key causes the share enumeration in Explorer to be ignored while creating or renaming a folder.
Deleting this registry key has three caveats to be aware of:
a) The warning popup/confirmation dialog when deleting a shared folder is NO longer displayed when a shared folder is deleted.
b) When a folder is moved, it will no longer be automatically unshared (Depending on the configuration, this might result also in an ACL change of the moved folder)
c) Automatic Unpublish of items will no longer occur. This feature is primarily relevant only when the system is joined to a "HomeGroup" and not in an enterprise environment.

Tor is looking for a Browser Hacker and an Extension Developer!Posted November 22nd, 2013 by mikeperry
The Tor Project has two browser-related job openings available!
We are looking for a C++ browser developer to work on our Firefox-based browser, and a Firefox extension developer to work on our growing number of Firefox extensions. Our ideal candidates would be comfortable in both roles, but we are also interested in hearing from people with either skillset.
On the C++ side, your tasks would include implementing new Firefox APIs and browser behavior changes; looking for and resolving web privacy issues; fixing bugs; responding on short notice to security issues; and helping to merge patches upstream.
On the extension development side, your primary tasks will include writing patches and UI improvements for Tor Birdy, Torbutton, HTTPS-Everywhere, Tor Launcher, and an OTR plugin for InstantBird. These improvements will primarily revolve around improving usability, Tor configuration, and security for our users.
Instructions on how to apply to the C++ position can be found on the browser hacker job posting. If you would prefer to focus on extension development, you should apply to the extension developer position.

In Premiere Pro CS4 Beyond the Basics, Adobe Certified Instructor Chad Perkins explains how to take video editing from simple nuts and bolts to an art form. He shares tips for shooting video in the field to get the most from a subject and get the best footage for a project. He demonstrates how to build a project through the careful use of cutaways, pacing, and suggestive edits. He covers special effects, color correction, and keying and compositing, integrating all these concepts as he builds a music video project from scratch. Exercise files are included with this course.
As much as we hate to admit, as human beings, we have a tendency to overdo things a little bit sometimes. This is especially true in the case of color editing with video. One of the bigger problems when dealing with video with this is that when these colors that are maybe too saturated or too bright are displayed on screen, they create really weird artifacts and just don't look right. So, we have these things called Scopes, which are kind of like dynamic charts that show us live feed about how our colors are doing and how our brightness levels are doing.
We're going to talk about the two most common scopes, Waveform Monitors and Vector Scopes, here in this movie. We can access these by going to the Program Monitor and going to these three circles right here, the Output dropdown and clicking that. Now, we're typically looking at the Composite Video output, but as you can see, there are a host of options to choose from. Now, the first one we're going to look at is YC Waveform and it's a little bit confusing, and I'll explain what this means in just a moment. However, this is a little bit tough to work, because now our original footage is gone.
So, I am going to take this Output back to Composite Video and this is another instance where I like to use reference monitors. Go to the Window menu, open up your Reference Monitor and, in this case, we actually do want to Gang this Reference Monitor to our Program Monitor so that as we move in tandem, we're seeing the same frames. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to go back to the first frame and on the Reference Monitor, I am going to click the Output dropdown and change the view to YC Waveform.
Now what we're seeing is the waveform readout of this particular frame. And you'll notice that as we scrub in time, the waveform monitor and the reference monitor changes to update what's going on. Now, although this chart seems a little weird and a little spacey, it's actually fairly simple to understand. Here we have the IRE values. Basically, this is the specs of allowable brightness for video from zero, with this dotted line here, up to 120.
Typically, you want your values to stay between 7.5 to about 100. So, we want to make sure that we don't go over bright or too dark. The way this reads out is like this. From left to right, the Waveform Monitor gives us a readout that correlates to the left to right values of our image. So, in other words, the right side of the monitor represents the right side of our footage, left side of the monitor represents left side of our footage and so on. The height of this chart represents the brightness of those parts of the footage.
So, you'll notice that on the left half pretty much, of the footage, it's just pitch black and so we have a flat line, down at the bottom, and then we have a little bit more brightness in the guy's shirt a little bit, not too much. And then over on the right-hand side we've some blown out highlights and so we have a big spike in the right side of our waveform here. And as I scrub in time, you'll notice that the footage pulls out and then as we start to see this arm here, this is another little spike in brightness, so we're seeing a little spike in brightness here on the left.
And then we start seeing some holes of light, like right here. About in the center of the image, there is a little bright spot, and so right here, we have a little tiny spot, not very wide, but it's very bright. So, it's very tall. And again, as I move in time, and there are more bright spots, you see these little speckles up here indicating which spots are bright. Now, what I could do is go into the Effect Controls panel and add something like the Fast Color Corrector effect, if I wanted to.
And we could go in and perhaps take down some of that brightness, maybe go to the Output Levels and take down Output White and we could go back to our Reference Scope and see that this is now a little over 80, instead of a little over 100. So, if we're finding those a little bit too bright, we could still adjust the luminance here with the Input Levels and we'll talk a little bit more about this in upcoming movies later in this chapter. But if things are too bright, we can take down Output Levels to make sure that we're not blowing out our highlights.
This a little bit extreme. I have taken it down too much, but here you get the idea of that's how to do that. To see another example, we could go to the hand for cutaway DJ clip, in the next clip here. And we could see that the brightest part of the image is this part of the paper here about in the center, little bit of spike here with the yellow in the center and you could see that indicated here as well in the Waveform Monitor. The Waveform Monitor is for checking luminance. It's for checking brightness values only. It doesn't give us any information about color. For color we typically go to something called a Vectorscope.
So, I'm going to go to the Output dropdown in my Reference Monitor. I'm going to change this from YC Waveform to Vectorscope. The Vectorscope is even a little bit more odd looking and unintuitive than the Waveform Monitor was, and basically this is a circular readout of the color spectrum. So, here we've a little R representing Red, little G representing Green, little B representing Blue. So, we have Red, Green and Blue and in between that we have Cyan, over here at the bottom, Magenta and Yellow. So, we've a lot of yellow gravitating this way and so it's kind of moving off more towards that direction.
So, the more saturated a particular color is, the further along in that part of the chart it will be. So, if we had a lot of bright green, then the graph would go down this way because this is green. And the more saturated the green was, the closer we get to this edge. As you could also in our footage, we have some blue in the pen and some blue in her jacket and that's also showing up here, some little speckles of blue in our Vectorscope. And you could also see, if I'm going to disconnect the Effect Controls panel, put that in its own little floating window here, if we open up the Fast Color Corrector effect, which I've already applied to this footage, and go to Saturation and increase that, we'll see the yellow on the right-hand side here, getting more saturated and we can also see that expand on the left-hand side.
Typically, the rule of thumb is that you don't want these colors to go beyond these little markers. As you can see they're different for each color, but those are indicating what is safe for broadcast. So again, if I make this like this bright, then we don't see too much of a difference between the last level of yellow and this level of yellow, but our Vectorscope is telling us, Hey! That's not going to look good when broadcast. We want to rein that in until about that where the green speckles don't go past these little indicators.
Vectorscopes are also really good for calibration. If we go to this next clip, which is actually Bars and Tone, which you can generate by going to the Project panel and going to the New dropdown and just choosing Bars and Tone, we have these calibration bars. We also have an audio tone, but it's kind of loud and annoying, we don't really need it in this movie, so I threw it away. As you could see here, some basic colors, and then when we look at our Vectorscope with these bars showing, we could see little dots that perfectly represent where these colors are. So, we've the Red block, as we're seeing this red dot here and the Magenta block and the Cyan and the Blue and the Green. So we're seeing all of these colors here, represented as dots on the Vectorscope.
So, in our case here, we can use this to kind of get a rough idea of where a perfect Red should be. So, this right here would be seen as kind of like an ideal calibration quality red and we could see that right here in these little squares, so that might give you a target to aim for. Oftentimes when outputting for broadcast or for a client, they might have you have a few seconds of bars and tones like this at the beginning of the video, so they can calibrate their monitors and display devices based on the Vectorscope and the Waveform Monitor to make sure that they're displaying your video correctly.
I should also point out that a lot of these features are in Adobe OnLocation, used for video production, so that way you can calibrate your camera based on some of these tools, while you're in the field. That's how I use basic scopes, your Vectorscope and your Waveform Monitor. It's not something, to be honest with you, that I use every second while I am working in video, but when I'm doing color correction, I'm making sure that my colors and my brightness values fall within the appropriate specs, if I'm going out to broadcast, just to make sure that I don't have any unexpected ugliness in the end result.

Pattern: Black Sea Hat by Grumperina
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino, shade #203 (Teal), 1 x 50g ball, beads from an eBay seller whose name escapes me for the moment.
Needles: 3mm Addi Turbo circulars
More birthday knitting! This time it was for the lovely and talented Cairi. Some people would have you believe that all the best people are born in August. I still maintain that it is in fact February…
I've wanted to knit this pattern for ages. I knit an Odessa hat at the beginning of last year, which was my first venture into knitting with beads and got me hooked. Unfortunately, the style doesn't suit me, and I knew that this hat wouldn't either. Fortunately, I have the latest issue of Knitscene, which has Kathy's Art Deco Beret pattern. It will be mine!!
This is also my first time knitting with Baby Cashmerino. Am I very late to the party? It's really nice yarn. Sproingy to knit with and didn't do anything weird after washing and blocking, or grow a scary amount. I may even use it for the beaded beret.
And here's a picture of the hat being modelled, though it might disappear if Cairi has a fit at seeing her face all over the internet. I think she looks gorgeous, though. I am not at all jealous of her fantabulous bone structure which means she can wear a hat like that without looking completely ridiculous.

Insurance Companies Sharpen Survivorship Portfolios.
John Hancock Life Insurance Co. unveiled a product in September, Variable Estate Protection Edge, its second new product since estate-tax reform. The Edge product is intended to maximize cash accumulation through large premiums. Variable Estate Protection Plus, introduced earlier, may be more effective when business clients want high early-year cash values to minimize the charge to earnings or address other accounting matters, the company said.
The Phoenix Cos., Hartford, Conn., introduced Estate Legacy II, a survivorship universal life product, and Estate Edge, a survivorship variable universal life product. The latter guarantees the option of converting to a fixed universal life policy after the 15th policy year, and it offers adjusted cost-of-insurance rates that are lower in later years than in the previous VUL product. It also offers higher commission target premiums for producers.
New York Life Insurance Co. launched its Pinnacle Series for the estate- and business-succession planning market. The series includes two VUL products and a survivorship VUL. Among riders is one that provides a term insurance death benefit that allows policyholders to adjust the amount of coverage they need for each year. The rider can thus be used to change coverage as needed after 2010, when estate taxes are scheduled to return to levels before this summer. The rider can also be used to customize coverage to fit employer-sponsored plans, the company said.
Boston-based Manulife Financial has introduced two life products, Venture Variable Universal Life Protector and Venture Survivorship Variable Universal Life. Both products offer access to 60 investment options and a 20-year no-lapse guarantee, provided certain minimum premiums are paid.

What was the master key issue all about ?
It is the key to 350 tankers of the Hindustan Petroleum Depot. The tankers supply fuel to petrol pumps in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) areas. Besides petrol is supplied to the Indian Railways, Indian Air force, Indian Army, private airlines, municipal corporations of Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad, state transport buses and private sector. The duplicate keys were made by the vested interests and fuel worth crores of rupees was being stolen. We came to know about the incident, took up the issue with the oil companies and ensured that new locks were put in place. The issue has now been resolved.
What about the LBT being levied on petrol and diesel in Pune Cantonment Board (PCB) area ?
LBT should not levied in Pune Cantonment, as no such resolution has been passed by the general body till date. The PCB is illegally collecting LBT at the instance of the Pune Municipal Corporation. We have taken up the issue with the PCB but nothing concrete emerged out of it. The issue of LBT is currently under investigation of the crime branch and even the district collector's office has ordered a detailed probe into the manner in which LBT is being collected in Pune Cantonment area.
How is the association tackling the issue with the PCB?
We have requested the PCB to immediately refund the illegally collected LBT from the customers. If the PCB fails to do so, we will file a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) against the administration for misleading the citizens of Pune. Besides, a complaint against the illegal collection of LBT has already been given to Ministry of Petroleum Affairs wherein the minister has already orderd an inquiry into the issue. The customers too have played a key role in helping the association taking up the matter at the highest levels of government.

Last week Transparency International (TI) released its Bribe Payors Index 2011 (Index). It represents the fifth such report issued by TI, the most recent previously released in 2008. In the introduction, TI says that the Index "ranks 28 of the world's largest economies according to the perceived likelihood of companies from these countries to pay bribes abroad. It is based on the views of business executives as captured by Transparency International's 2011 Bribe Payers Survey.

Debconf10 in New York
2010 will see the first Debian developer conference to be held in the US. On the Debconf mailing list, organizing team member Martin F. Krafft, announced the New York venue.
In a three-and-a-half hour meeting, the New York bid narrowly won against strong bids from Boston and Quito, Ecuador. More about the event can be found on the <link href="http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf10/NewYork%20" target="_blank">DebConf-Wikki</link>.
According to the <link href="http://lists.debconf.org/lurker/message/20090224.220647.b25f4b95.en.html" target="_blank">announcement by Krafft</link>, the US had been avoided in previous years due to visa and immigration issues. These problems have now been addressed by the NYC team and doubts of the organizing committee eradicated.
This year's <link href="http://debconf9.debconf.org" target="_blank">DebConf9</link> will take place from July 23. to 30. in Caceres, Spain.

Iranian Nukes: Gaps remain, but talks continueBy LARA JAKES and GEORGE JAHN
the associated press | July 16,2014ap photo
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry speaking to the media after closed-door nuclear talks on Iran take place in Vienna, Austria, Tuesday.WASHINGTON World powers and Iran still face significant gaps in their negotiations to curb Tehrans nuclear program, foreign ministers said Tuesday while forging ahead with efforts to secure a deal that could finally bridge a decades-long diplomatic chasm between the Islamic republic and the West.
Sundays deadline for an agreement could be extended, but that issue is controversial, too. And without an accord on the nuclear talks, the U.S. risks losing opportunities to negotiate with Iran on other pressing regional issues, including sectarian fighting in Syria and Iraq that is threatening to rip apart the Mideast.
Aside from persuading Iran, President Barack Obama, seeking an elusive foreign policy victory, must also convince a suspicious Congress and reluctant Arab allies of the long-term benefits of securing a deal.
It is clear that we still have more work to do, Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday, shortly before leaving Vienna, where negotiators had been holed up for weeks working on a plan to prevent Iran from building an atomic bomb but still let it develop a peaceful nuclear energy program.
He cited tangible progress on important issues in the talks and stated his belief that there is a way forward, but he added that there are also very real gaps on other key issues.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif suggested it was likely that the talks would continue beyond a Sunday deadline and into a six-month extension.
This is a process which is worth continuing, Zarif said in Vienna, speaking separately from Kerry and diplomats from Britain, France, Germany, Russia and China, who also attended the talks.
We are prepared to show the necessary maneuvering room for our friends to convince themselves that Irans program is always peaceful, Zarif said.
The negotiations over Irans nuclear efforts have endured on-and-off since 2003. New hope for an agreement soared after last years election of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a relatively moderate leader. He won office by promising to bolster his countrys crumbling economy, in part by securing relief from bruising Western trade sanctions that punish Tehran for its nuclear ambitions.
But there are skeptics on all sides. Hard-liners in Iran fear the talks will result in a scaling back of their countrys nuclear capacity, and some in Congress fear they wont.
Tehran says it needs nuclear capacity for energy and medical purposes. Many lawmakers in Congress are deeply concerned about the Iranians intentions and whether they can be trusted to maintain a legitimate nuclear program. And American allies in the Mideast including Israel and Saudi Arabia are bitterly opposed to any deal they say could let Iran build an atomic weapon.
Congress is already gearing up to impose more sanctions against Iran as a way of forcing its hand, and its unclear whether the White House can hold lawmakers off.
An extension of the international negotiations would also open Obama to criticism that hes allowing Iran to stall and seek sanctions relief while moving forward on its nuclear program. Last week, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Tehran intends to expand its uranium enrichment capacity far beyond what most of the rest of the world would permit.
Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Menendez said that would scuttle any deal.
I could not imagine that the United States and the (other world powers) would accept a deal under those standards, Menendez, D-N.J., said Tuesday. Well just have to wait to see first and then well act accordingly.
Noting Kerrys comments about gaps in the negotiations, House Foreign Affairs Chairman Ed Royce, R-Calif., said the administration should begin talking now to Congress about new sanctions.MORE IN Wire NewsBEIRUT In contrast to the Iraqi armys failures, Kurdish fighters in Syria are on the march...

international digital publishing forum
The International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF) is a trade and standards association for the digital publishing industry, that has been set up in order to establish a reliable and complete standard for ebook publishing. Starting from the Open eBook Publication Structure or "OEB" (1999), which was created loosely around HTML, it then defined the OPS (Open Publication Structure), the OPF (Open Packaging Format) and the OCF (Open Container Format). These formats are the basis for the common EPUB and Mobipocket ebook file formats (Comparison of e-book formats). While the basic standards are now established (pages, hyperlinks, definition of table of contents, authors, etc.) some other standards intersect the hardware field, such as those for power and for features of the hardware reader devices, and are still undergoing change and evolution. Other standards for ecommerce (including Digital Rights Management protections), are tied to the way the ebook is sold or delivered, and are therefore controlled by the respective vendors.

sherpa digital preservation
This project will create a collaborative, shared preservation environment for the SHERPA institutional repositories project framed around the Open Archiving Information Systems (OAIS) Reference Model. The project will bring together the SHERPA institutional repository systems with the preservation repository established by the Arts and Humanities Data Service to create an environment that fully addresses all the requirements of the different phases within the life cycle of digital information. Aims and Objectives Use the OAIS reference model to develop a persistent preservation environment for the SHERPA consortium, assigning rights and responsibilities and establishing protocols and work flow processes that will ensure the long-term preservation of the repository content; Explore the use of METS as the framework for packaging and transferring metadata held within the institutional repositories, including the preservation metadata created by the preservation service; Establish a coordinated set of protocols and software to be implemented as a working preservation service for a group of institutional repositories; Explore the use of open source software and tools to add functionality to and to extend the storage layer of repository software applications; Draw together the experience gained into a Digital Preservation User Guide that will complement the 'The Preservation Management of Digital Material Handbook' created by Maggie Jones and Neil Beagrie, and act as a practical user guide to implementing this type of preservation environment.

uk theses digitisation project
Digitising at least 20,000 paper-borne UK theses will 'kick start' the EThOS service, which will allow open access to theses in electronic form. The project will deliver a fully operational, easily scaleable and financially viable prototype of an UK e-theses online service that will enable users, via one single web interface, to access the full text of electronically stored theses after selection from a database of UK theses. UK postgraduate theses are a very important source of primary research output but, says Colin Galloway, project director of EthOs, "There are currently thousands of theses sitting on the shelves of UK academic libraries, many of which will never have been read by anyone other than the author and supervisor. Even in those cases where there is knowledge of their existence there is no easy access to their content, with the result that potentially useful information is disregarded purely because of logistic/bureaucratic impediments." Under this project, 20,000 digitised theses will be freely supplied as open access, enabling all researchers regardless of location or time to search for, identify and order digitised UK theses, a resource which has had limited exposure via the British Library catalogue (metadata only minus abstract) and the commercial subscription Index To Thesis product. The theses will be supplied to researchers as pdfs. The researcher will be able to read the thesis image on his/her computer screen but, by printing the pdf, he or she will get an exact surrogate of the original thesis. By sourcing surrogates from the electronically stored copies, the original paper theses will be accessed less frequently and so will be better preserved. There are around 500,000 paper theses originating from UK Higher Education Institutions and dating from 1730. Although the project is digitising only 1% of the overall total, it will target the most 'popular' - those that are most likely to be requested and supplied to researchers - so the greater impact will be to release EThOS digitisation resources to digitise further theses. Project start date: 2007-01-01. Project end date: 2008-07-01. (Excerpt from this source)Percentage of Ariadne articles tagged with this term: 0.2%.

NORFOLK -- The number of problem bridges in Hampton Roads has increased from a year ago, according to a 13News Now comparison of bridge ratings from July 2013 and July 2014.
A 13News Now investigation first looked at the number of low-rated bridges in Hampton Roads last summer. At the time, there were 87 bridges rated 'structurally deficient' in the Hampton Roads district of the Virginia Department of Transportation. This year, there are currently 89 bridges with the designation in Hampton Roads.
The designation is given to bridges whose structure has begun to weaken or deteriorate. Each bridge is inspected periodically and given a sufficiency rating from one to 100.
Generally speaking, the lower the grade, the more time and money it takes to keep a bridge safe.
Chris Eggleston, a bridge engineer for VDOT, said there are three parts of a bridge inspectors look at when determining whether or not a bridge is structurally deficient: the deck, superstructure and sub structure.
'We look at those all as a whole and we assess their condition based on how much wear and tear and age that those particular components are showing,' Eggleston explained.
The federal and state government take a bridge's sufficiency rating into account when trying to determine which structures need additional maintenance funding. Typically, a structurally deficient bridge will also get more funding, Eggleston explained.
'Every bridge is a little different,' he said. 'Some bridges need minor fixes, some need more work, basically.'
Most of the region's nearly 1,700 bridges are maintained by the cities in which they're in. It's those city-maintained bridges that have the lowest sufficiency ratings: the Turlington Rd. bridge over the Kilby Creek Spillway in Suffolk has a five and the westbound lanes of the Lesner Bridge in Virginia Beach scores just a seven.
But a 13News Now investigation found even some bridges maintained by VDOT get failing grades, too. Often, those VDOT-maintained bridges carry thousands of cars more each day than their city-maintained counterparts.
The bridge on Denbigh Blvd crossing I-64 in Newport news is rated a 38. The on-ramp and eastbound lanes of I-64 crossing Northampton Blvd in Norfolk rates a 54 and 57, respectively.
Even one of the most heavily traveled bridges in Hampton Roads gets a failing grade. The eastbound lanes of the HRBT scores just a 63.9 out of 100.
Each of the bridges mentioned above are also classified as structurally deficient, too.
But Eggleston and others at VDOT insist the structurally deficient bridges are still safe for drivers.
'Structurally deficient does not mean that it's unsafe in any way,' Eggleston said. 'What it means is that some components of the bridge are showing a little bit more age or wear and tear than, say, a new bridge.' Eggleston added he would cross the HRBT without hesitation.
A new highway funding formula passed by the Virginia legislature last year is expected to increase the amount of money allocated to improving Hampton Roads-area roadways over time.
Just last month, the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved a budget that included replacing 29 bridges in the region. Among the new list of bridges to replace are the Denbigh Blvd. crossing in Newport News and the on-ramp and eastbound lanes of I-64 crossing Northampton Blvd in Norfolk.

We Hereby Claim the Sandwich For the Jews
Hillel's invention predates that English earl by centuries!
Lapham's Quarterly has litigated four "Who invented it first?" food disputes. And it turns out that the sandwich—defined, if you like, as the method of preparation by which the substance is placed between two slices of starch—was not invented by its namesake, John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, but rather (and really, we should have known this) by Rabbi Hillel, the eating of whose eponymous sandwich, in which bitter herbs (usually horseradish) are placed between two pieces of matzah, is a requisite part of the Passover Seder.
But why call it a "Hillel Sandwich"? It's a bit anachronistic to allow the latter-day English earl's nomenclature to prevail over the ancient Babylonian rabbi's invention, no? (I mean, there's Orientalism for you!) Please leave suggestions for what the humble, brilliant sandwich should be called instead in the comments. And please, try to be more creative than just "the Hillel," which as everyone knows is already a special kind of sandwich that involves corned beef, pastrami, and cole slaw, served with a side of guilt and traditionally consumed while standing on one foot.

All proceeds go to helping us bring you the ambitious journalism that brought you here in the first place.
Readers can still interact with us free of charge via Facebook, Twitter, and our other social media channels, or write to us at email@example.com. Each week, we'll select the best letters and publish them in a new letters to the editor feature on the Scroll.
We hope this new largely symbolic measure will help us create a more pleasant and cultivated environment for all of our readers, and, as always, we thank you deeply for your support.

Oh boy. It's Sunday night and I'm perusing Facebook, right? And I see a friend of mine share this craigslist ad from a Norman chef looking for a woman to help him serve clients at a private dinner party.
But it can't just be any woman. She has to be "exceptionally clean and fit" — and willing to lie on a table while food is served off her nude body.
Here's the full text of the ad, which sounds as genuine as a request like this can sound:
I am a chef in Norman. I do small private parties and dinners. I need an assistant that can help during plating and service during private dinners and also help take care of buffets for larger party events. I would like to be able to offer a live model buffet. You would also at times lie on the Buffet with food being served off your nude body. You must be exceptionally clean and fit. Please respond with your interest and any questions about this position. This is a serious search for me, not a game. You will get paid hourly plus tips based on your experience although I am requiring no previous experience due to the unique quality I am looking for at this time. I will train you completely.
This kind of thing actually isn't all that unusual in the out-there side of culinary arts, and actually has a name: Nyotaimori (translated: serves food on the female body). It's often done with sushi, but I guess any food can work. Except for soups. And some stews. Actually, anything hot might be uncomfortable.
Several years ago Vanity Fair had a great piece about a woman who was a nude sushi model. From the article:
This was as new and strange to our guests as it was to me. In fact, this was newer to them by a solid 30 minutes. This realization helped me regain my composure. Calm down, I wanted to tell them. Instead, respecting the order of reticence, I just smirked and tried to radiate positive energy.
According to "Educated Tastes: Food, Drink, and Connoisseur Culture," nyotaimori is popular in the world of Japanese organized crime. And it's something I could totally see happening in a Quentin Tarantino movie.
Heh. Craigslist is a funny place, but to each their own, I say.
That said, the merits of such a thing is worthy of discussion. No doubt some will see it as objectifying and degrading, while others see it as fun, unique and maybe even artistic. What do you think?
