CLEVELAND, Dec. 16 (UPI) -- Kirk Cousins amassed 329 yards and completed two scoring passes in his first NFL start Sunday, boosting Washington to a 38-21 win over Cleveland.
Cousins, subbing for injured fellow rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, found Leonard Hankerson on both of his touchdown passes as the Redskins (8-6) claimed a share of first place in the NFC East with a fifth straight win.
Washington pulled into a three-way tie with the New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys atop the division following the Giants' loss to Atlanta and the Cowboys' win over Pittsburgh.
Alfred Morris rushed for 87 yards and two touchdowns on 27 carries in the win.
Cleveland (5-9) saw its three-game win streak snapped as Trent Richardson was held to 28 rushing yards on 11 carries with a pair of touchdowns.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Pralatrexate injection is used to treat peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in patients who have already been treated with other medicines that did not work well. Peripheral T-cell lymphoma is a rare type of cancer that affects certain white blood cells and causes enlarged and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, armpits, and groin.
Pralatrexate belongs to the group of medicines called antineoplastics (cancer medicines). It interferes with the growth of cancer cells, which are eventually destroyed. Since the growth of normal cells may also be affected by the medicine, other unwanted effects may also occur. Some of these may be serious and must be reported to your doctor.
This medicine is to be administered only by or under the immediate supervision of your doctor.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of pralatrexate injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of pralatrexate injection in the elderly. However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related liver, kidney, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving pralatrexate injection.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a hospital or cancer treatment center. This medicine is given through a needle placed in one of your veins.
It is very important to take folic acid tablets during your treatment with pralatrexate to lower your chances of harmful side effects. You must start taking 1 to 1.25 milligrams (mg) of folic acid every day for at least 10 days before your first dose. You must keep taking folic acid every day during therapy and for 30 days after your last pralatrexate dose. You can get folic acid as a nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) product. Ask your doctor for help in choosing a folic acid product.
Your doctor will also give you vitamin B12 injections during your treatment with pralatrexate to lower your chances of harmful side effects. You will get your first injection about 10 weeks before your first dose, and additional injections about every 8 to 10 weeks during therapy.
This medicine usually comes with a patient information leaflet. Read the information carefully and make sure you understand it before receiving this medicine. If you have any questions, ask your doctor.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress at regular visits to make sure that this medicine is working properly. Blood tests may be needed to check for unwanted effects.
Make sure your doctor knows if you are pregnant before you receive this medicine. If you are a woman of childbearing potential, you should use two forms of birth control together to avoid getting pregnant while you are receiving this medicine. If you have become pregnant during your treatment, tell your doctor right away.
Pralatrexate can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. It can also lower the number of platelets, which are necessary for proper blood clotting. If this occurs, there are certain precautions you can take, especially when your blood count is low, to reduce the risk of infection or bleeding:
This medicine may cause mucositis, which is redness or sores on the inside of the mouth or tongue. Check with your doctor right away if you have cracked lips, diarrhea, difficulty with swallowing, or sores, ulcers, or white spots on the lips, tongue, or inside of the mouth while you are receiving this medicine.
Serious skin reactions can occur with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you have blistering, peeling, or loosening of the skin; red skin lesions; severe acne or skin rash; sores or ulcers on the skin; or fever or chills while you are receiving this medicine.
This medicine may cause a serious type of reaction called tumor lysis syndrome. Your doctor may give you a medicine to help prevent this. Call your doctor right away if you have a decrease or change in urine amount; joint pain, stiffness, or swelling; lower back, side, or stomach pain; a rapid weight gain; swelling of the feet or lower legs; or unusual tiredness or weakness.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

A Price Too High to Bear, a research study conducted in Kenya by Family Care International in partnership with the International Center for Research on Women (ICRW), and the KEMRI-CDC Research and Public Health Collaboration, documents the financial and social costs of maternal death to families in a poor, remote community and the ways that these costs affect newborn survival, child health and education, and family well-being.
A technical brief summarizing the study's findings is available for download, along with two advocacy briefs that highlight the key messages.
This publication, available in English and French, provides guidance to national advocates and civil society organizations in conducting effective advocacy for the successful uptake of misoprostol for prevention and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH). Through case studies and an Advocacy for Access Framework, this publication provides concrete examples to support misoprostol's availability and use at the national level.
This checklist presents a set of tips and relevant resources and tools to help private sector health providers improve their knowledge, skills, and capacity to conduct advocacy in support of maternal health.
Skilled maternity care is recognized as a critical key to reducing maternal mortality. Today in many developing countries, however, more than half of women go through childbirth without such care. These women suffer disproportionately from pregnancy and childbirth complications that, far too often, lead to death or serious disability. In 2000, with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, FCI launched the five-year Skilled Care Initiative, to improve pregnancy and childbirth care in more than 100 health facilities in four poor rural districts of Burkina Faso, Kenya, and Tanzania. This publication reports on qualitative research that gathered information on community member's shared attitudes, values and beliefs about maternal health services.
Los presentes módulos de capacitación, adaptado de ¡Cuídate!: Una guía de salud y bienestar, fueron desarrollados para prestadores/as de servicios de consejería médica a mujeres en edad reproductiva, mujeres embarazadas y madres de niños/as menores de dos años. Los mismos abordan de forma integral y con un enfoque de derechos temas relevantes a la salud sexual y reproductiva y salud materna.
These training modules, adapted from ¡Cuídate!: Una guía de salud y bienestar, were developed for use by Bolivian health care providers for counseling women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and mothers of children under two. They contain comprehensive information on sexual and reproductive health and maternal health, including the rights to health and services of this population.
In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), the estimated maternal mortality ratio is 59 deaths per 100,000 live births. Overall, the LAC region has seen a reduction of its MMR by 39% between 1990 and 2015.Efforts to strengthen data and accountability, especially in recent years, have helped fuel this improvement. In 2015, the Regional Task Force for Maternal Mortality Reduction (GTR) released an updated version of the Guidelines for Maternal Death Surveillance and Response in the Americas to assist national efforts to identify and timely notify all maternal deaths, followed by review of their causes (maternal death reviews) and the implementation of actions to prevent future deaths. These case studies, which complement the guidelines, were conducted in five countries that have made the greatest strides in improving their maternal mortality surveillance and response systems: Brazil, Colombia, El Salvador, Jamaica and Mexico. They are targeted to maternal mortality surveillance systems managers, and are meant to foster greater national proficiency in maternal morbidity and mortality monitoring and response.
Rangwe Health Centre in Kenya is one facility that has shown a remarkable change since the beginning of the Skilled Care Initiative. The facility is featured in our short film, "Changing Lives, Saving Lives."
A set of seven briefs, available in English, French, and Spanish, that outline challenges and solutions for increasing the availability and use of three essential maternal health medicines (oxytocin, misoprostol and magnesium sulfate), drawing on lessons and experience from reproductive health supplies.
En en América Latina y el Caribe (ALC), la razón de mortalidad materna registrada es de 59 defunciones por 100 mil n.v. A pesar de las desigualdades, se estima que la RMM en ALC, se ha reducido en un 39% entre 1990 y 2015. Los esfuerzos desplegados para fortalecer la recolección de datos y la rendición de cuentas en los últimos años han favorecido esta mejoría. En 2015, el Grupo de trabajo regional para la reducción de la mortalidad materna (GTR) lanzó una versión adaptada de las Guías para la vigilancia epidemiológica y respuesta a la mortalidad materna en las Américas para la identificación y notificación oportuna de todas las muertes maternas, seguida del análisis de sus causas y de las mejores intervenciones para su prevención. Los casos de estudio que presentamos aquí son parte de esta serie que acompaña las guías. Serán utilizados–junto con las guías–para el fortalecimiento de las capacidades de las personas responsables de la vigilancia epidemiológica y respuesta a la mortalidad materna en la región.
La evidencia demuestra que invertir en el desarrollo de las capacidades de las matronas para prestar atención calificada del parto se traduce en resultados de salud positivos para mujeres, recién nacidos, familias y comunidades. Este documento describe las acciones adoptadas por UNFPA, ICM, FCI y sus aliados para fortalecer el papel y las competencias de las parteras profesionales en ALC. Este informe comienza con un panorama general de los retos claves que enfrenta la región, seguido de una descripción de las principales estrategias de la iniciativa, y concluye mostrando los logros más significativos de la alianza, las lecciones aprendidas durante los últimos tres años, y las recomendaciones para el futuro.

Kisszentgrót used to be a small village close to the town of Zalaszentgrót during medieval times, but by now it has become part of the town. Ruins of the former gothic Franciscan monastery of Kisszentgrót can still be seen today.
One of the earliest Premonstratensian abbey churches, it was built by French masters around 1230 and has remained almost unchanged. Originally Romanesque, it was subsequently refurbished in an early Gothic-Gothic style. In the 16th century the building suffered damage several times and was restored only in the 18th century. The main facade was rebuilt in Baroque style and the porch also received a Baroque frame. It was restored in Neo-gothic style by Kálmán Lux between 1920 and 1921.
Saint Ann parish church built in roman style around 1260 AD has a completely circular plan, thus it is a round church. Such buildings were popular church constructions in the Carpathian Basin, Scandinavia and Armenia during the Middle Ages. Still standing examples of round churches can be found in the villages of Ják, Öskü, Kisszombor and Kallósd in Hungary.
This valley close to Zalaegerszeg, Hungary has a yearly unique sight during two weeks in May: the spring blossom of the azalea collection. These exotic plants were first planted as an experiment in this valley which has its own microclimate.

May 26th or 27th, somewhere in London. How about it?
Don't see why not so long as there's no bladed or pointed objects etc around, the usual set of safety precautions, secure venue
Leo and CrowleyHead on Skype conference call from new York.
yes yes
is it possible to just get a room with some speakers above a pub in London these days, or does it cost a million pounds?
Id be happy with someones living room also. Or a sewer, or desecrated church, whatever works.
Palm Tree, Bow?
Looks nice, but:
"Do not ask for water unless you're looking to make it a very early evening. The owners are unapologetic and will ask you to leave, if you don't quite understand the purpose of a pub."
Im easy on location though, depends on you lot really. Ill be on the govt shilling so can get anywhere. Just figured if we were going to meet up it would be nice to control the music.
I would honestly be happy to sit beside a canal though.
I can possibly find a space
Byob tho
Palm tree has history for the bloggers contingent
even for some of the jonnycomelatelys
i met mr tea, idle rich and woops! there
The Palm Tree would be very nearly the perfect pub, were it not for the No Free Water thing, which I've sadly noticed myself the last time I was there. Tight cunt made me buy a bottle of water even though I was also buying a second round of pints for me and Idle.
Edit: mind you, that was probably about six years ago so I could probably find it in my heart to forgive them. Might bring a big bottle of Evian and conspicuously swig from it in full view of the bar, all the same.
Doin' the Lambeth Warp New: DISSENSUS - THE NOVEL - PM me your email address and I'll add you
You also can't go in there on a Saturday evening in paint-spattered overalls, as Luke and his brother discovered to their cost once.
You don't have to drink water, though. They have lots of other, better, drinks.
it wasnt the work clothes it was the fact billy fell asleep with his head on the table.
No it was definitely the clothes. The barman told me to ask you to leave, if you remember, precisely because it the locals like to look smart on a Saturday evening. It's their Rat Pack night.
We'd been in there for about ten hours at that point and no one had mentioned clothes. We drank from early afternoon with one lad we know, he reached his limit and left then you turned up and we had a session with you too. All in work clothes.
Then Billy ran outside to vomit and walked into the lake

Taylor Swift Rocks Bedhead + Smoky Eyes on Rolling Stone Cover
Taylor Swift rocks a messy bedhead on the cover of the new Rolling Stone. Her smoky eye makeup is smeared and looks "last night" and she has a varsity jacket thrown over her shoulders. America's Sweetheart has legs for days, and looks like she had a rough night, and plays against type.
The revealing interview belies the sexy-dirty cover image. Instead, T. Swizzle talks L-O-V-E. Shocker, right?
We also learn she doesn't do one night stands!
Swift states that she may follow rules and a regimen in many aspects of life, but love is the exception. "The way I look at love is you have to follow it, and fall hard, if you fall hard," she says. We can just see the stars in her eyes.
She continued, "You have to forget about what everyone else thinks. It has to be an us-against-the-world mentality. You have to make it work by prioritizing it, and by falling in love really fast, without thinking too hard. If I think too hard about a relationship I'll talk myself out of it. …I have rules for a lot of areas of my life. Love is not going to be one of them."
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer is the type of girl you take home to mama, since she's not looking for the quick, hot hookup, either. "Where's the romance? Where's the magic in that? I'm just not that girl," she stated.
Taylor Swift: Hopeless Romantic.
Her new BF Conor Kennedy came up, and Swift must have Google Alerts set up for their relationship, since she's seen the press, namely the report that she snatched him up and ferried him off to Nashville. "How did I kidnap him?," she asked. "You can't kidnap a grown man! These are serious accusations, now! It's an interesting way to spin something into a story. See, this is why I don't read stuff."
Swift also spoke about the décor of her condo in Music City, which we'd expect to be decked out in items and housewares from Anthropologie, since the vintage style of the store suits her and she has often extolled the virtues of the company. Turns out, she has a more Disney-like theme going on at her homestead.
"It's a whole Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland structure here. It's what the inside of my brain looks like, essentially," she said.
Tinkerbell and the Cheshire Cat are hanging out in T. Swift's grey matter. Nice!

New Director Appointed at Space Telescope
Dr. Mattias (Matt) Mountain has been appointed director of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, the science operations center for NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the planned James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). He will succeed Dr. Steven V. W. Beckwith, who will end his term Sept. 1.
Mountain Named STScI Director
Dr. Mattias (Matt) Mountain has been appointed director of the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore, the science operations center for NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and the planned James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). He will succeed Dr. Steven V. W. Beckwith, who will end his term Sept. 1.
Previously, Dr. Mountain was director of the Gemini Observatory and was based in Hilo, Hawaii. The observatory operates the two 8-meter Gemini Telescopes on Mauna Kea, Hawaii and Cerro Pachón in Chile. Dr. Mountain is also the telescope scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, a member of the JWST Science Working Group, and a visiting professor at the University of Oxford (UK).
In 1992 he became project scientist for the Gemini 8-meter Telescopes Project, based in Tucson, Arizona, and went on to become the director of the project in 1994. During his tenure as director, he had direct responsibility for the construction and commissioning of the two Gemini telescopes in Hawaii and Chile. In 1998 he moved to Hawaii and was responsible for the Gemini Observatory, including formulating, implementing, and running the operations and development programs of both Gemini 8-meter Telescopes. As part of the development program, he built up a world-renowned adaptive optics group to keep the Gemini telescopes at the forefront of observational infrared astronomy.
His background is in physics and astronomy, receiving his bachelor of science degree in physics in 1978 and his doctorate in astronomy in 1983, both from the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London University.
In accepting the position, Dr. Mountain said, "It's an extraordinary privilege to be asked to lead such a fascinating, diverse and challenging organization as the Space Telescope Science Institute. I'm looking forward to working with the superb Institute staff, NASA and the astronomical community; the potential of what we can collectively achieve with HST and the James Webb is tremendously exciting!"
The institute carries out the scientific mission of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). The Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy, Inc. (AURA) manages STScI for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The European Space Agency (ESA) participates in the HST Project under a long-term arrangement with NASA.
More than 100 candidates were considered for the position. AURA's Board of Directors made the selection, which was approved by NASA.
William Smith, president of AURA, said, "AURA, NASA and the scientific community have always been extraordinarily fortunate to have had STScI directors of such quality and leadership ability. Matt is inheriting a strong organization poised to take on the responsibility of making the JWST a success."
AURA is a consortium of 32 U.S. institutions and seven international affiliates. It manages the National Optical Astronomy Observatories, the National Solar Observatory, and the international Gemini Telescope Project in Tucson, Ariz., under separate cooperative agreements with the National Science Foundation; and STScI under contract with NASA.

Approx Costs: 750 to 1000 £ Pound (UK)
Travel back in time to the days of the Pharoahs with this action packed trek around Egypt.
Travel back in time to the days of the Pharoahs with this action packed trek around Egypt.
You'll be guided through the craziness of Cairo with an expert Egyptian Tour Manager, who'll be at your side for the entire tour. See the Great Pyramids & Sphinx in Giza & Valley of the Kings in Luxor. Sail on a traditional Felucca & enjoy shopping in the bazaar! No sitting on a coach for 8 days either - admire the scenery from the deck of your luxury cruise ship as you sail along the Nile. Step back in time & enjoy!
Tour Length:
What's Included
Check-in to your hotel and head out into Egypt's bustling capital for a taste of what's ahead. This evening, meet up with your Trip Manager and fellow travellers at the hotel.
Chaotic Cairo keeps a mass of experiences coming at you thick and fast. Leap from one time to another in this intense jumble of ancient and new. Uncover the Pharaohs' glory with your Local Guide in the Egyptian Museum's amazing collection that includes Tutankhamen's treasure. Get up close to royal mummies and jewels that were raided from their tombs. Next stop: the iconic Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza. They are the only survivors of the Seven Ancient Wonders of the World and are on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Our Local Guide will crack open the 4600 year old history of these massive monuments, that 20 000-30 000 workers took over 80 years to build.
Pull into Egypt's ancient frontier town of the south, Aswan. Relax into its laid-back African atmosphere, explore the colourful markets or walk along the Nile. Aswan gives us a look into Egyptian engineering, both ancient and modern. Opt to see Aswan and the Unfinished Obelisk (stone pillar), Egypt's single heaviest piece of rock weighing in at a mind-blowing 1168 tonnes, and learn how the ancients cut this mighty monument. You'll also have the chance to visit the impressive High Dam, the country's powerhouse for both irrigation and electricity. Later, you'll hop on board a white-sailed felucca, a truly local experience. See the locals swimming, fishing & going about their day as you drift past. It's a truly memorable way to see this unique part of the world & it's the perfect way to relax, soak up some rays & chill. Afterward, it's a chance for a bit of luxury as we board our cruise boat, where you can settle into your cabin and enjoy lunch onboard. This afternoon get a feel for a bit of the local lifestyle. Slowly rummage through the Aswan souk (market), full of fragrant spices, amulets, textiles and souvenirs. Try some hibiscus tea or snack on tahini (sesame dip) and daoud basha (meatballs in tomato sauce). Tonight, get together with some of your travel buddies and unwind with a drink at the boat's bar.
Kick the morning off with an optional excursion to Abu Simbel, another stunning UNESCO World Heritage site. Let your jaw-drop as you gape at this overwhelming structure and get the real story on Ramses II from our expert Local Guide. This afternoon, relax on the cruise while floating down the palm-lined Nile River, past timeless monuments, green fields and the Arabian desert. The boat has even got a pool. So pull up a lounge chair, soak up some sun and write a few post-cards. Next up is Kom Ombo, once a busy trading point for gold and elephants. See the town's unique riverside temple, famous for being perfectly symmetrical and for being shared by two gods.
If you're feeling up for it, there's your chance to visit Egypt's second largest & best-preserved temple, the Temple of Horus the Avenger. Here you can learn about the gods' history of hostilities, how offerings were made to them and the overall importance of this fascinating Greco-Roman temple. Cast off and watch Upper Egypt slip away as we cruise to our next port of call, majestic Luxor – site of the ancient city of Thebes. On arrival, you'll head up the stunning Avenue of Sphinxes for a guided look at this spectacular monument. As one of the most important archaeological & religious paths in Luxor, it's a must-see whilst you're here. The avenue once connected the Temple of Luxor & the Temple of Karnak - in ancient times, it was believed that this avenue, over 1.5km long, featured around 2000 spectacular Egyptian sphinxes.
Be amazed by the sheer volume of famous monuments around Luxor, often referred to as 'the world's greatest open-air museum' it's all about indulging in a cultural feast today. Across the Nile for a closer look at the Colossos of Memnon, the large scale remains of a once massive temple. Towering above the landscape at 18m high, these gigantic stone statues will make your jaw drop. After a visit to the Temple of Hatshepsut it's time to experience the afterlife and the city of the dead with our included tour of the Valley of the Kings. This spectacular site is where Tutankhamen is buried and where you'll visit some of the 63 royal tombs - you'll get a real insiders look & some essential knowledge that only a local can give, on a guided tour with our Egyptian expert. There's also the option to work your way through the stunning Temple of Karnak – an enormous 2 sq km site crammed full of remains, obelisks and sanctuaries, including the world's largest religious structure, the Temple of Amun. Our Local Guide takes the group through the monumental timeline, which almost every Pharaoh added to during his reign. Later, we'll say farewell to Luxor & before heading to beachside Hurghada for some chill out time in the sun. Maybe do some shopping, sun seek at the beach & top up your tan or get into some watersports. Tonight, ask your Tour Manager for some tips on where's good to head to & get into the city's many bars, restaurants & cool nightlife.
Say farewell to the beach today as we head back to the buzzing capital, Cairo. On arrival, make the most of your last night in Egypt -- get into some shopping if you feel like something different & dive right into the heart of old Cairo – you could visit to the ancient Khan El Khalili bazaar for a truly local experience. Maybe find somewhere for some mouth-watering mezzes (plate sized nibbles), Egyptian bread and hummus dip or sip on some shai (tea). Top off your trip with an optional Sound and Light Show and enjoy a final look at the amazing pyramids all lit up. Make the most of your last night and head out with the group into Cairo's buzzing nightlife. As the sun goes down, people pack the streets, drink coffee and head to their favourite local bars, so get out there among them for a last slice of Egypt.
The trip ends after breakfast and it's time to say farewell to your new friends.

ATM (Azienda Trasporti Milanesi) operates Milan's metro, bus, tram and trolley services, which have the advantage of being integrated. Tickets, available from shops displaying the ATM logo, are validated on-board and then have a time limit of 75 minutes travel on any of the transport options, or one ride on the metro. The city's metro is particularly inexpensive and user-friendly. Linea 1 covers the most important tourist areas near the Duomo. Taxis are freely available but have to be hired at marked stands. Expect extra charges for luggage, night fares, or Sunday travel. Renting a car and driving yourself is not a fun experience in Milan and is best avoided. The historic area around the cathedral is good for pedestrians and a number of attractions can be reached on foot.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between the last Sunday in March and the last Sunday in October).
Electrical current in Italy is 230 volts, 50Hz. A variety of plugs are in use, including the European-style two-pin plug.
The Euro (EUR) is the official currency, which is divided into 100 cents. Those arriving in Italy with foreign currency can obtain Euros through any bank, ATM or bureau de change. ATMs are widespread. Credit cards are accepted in upmarket establishments and shops around the cities. Banks are closed on weekends, but tend to have better rates than casas de cambios.
The international access code for Italy is +39. The outgoing code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the United Kingdom). All numbers must be preceded by 0, whether originating in Italy or out, unless calling a mobile phone. City/area codes are in use, e.g. 02 for Milan and 06 for Rome. There can be high surcharges on calls made from hotels and it is generally cheaper to use a calling card. Public telephone boxes take phone cards for local and international calls, which can be bought from newsagents. The local mobile phone operators use GSM networks and have roaming agreements with most international operators. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts.

The bicycle is one of the most efficient, environmentally-friendly modes of transportation, even centuries after its creation. Still though, there's no lack of innovation happening when it comes to bike. The latest example of this is the Alfa: a 20-pound bike made primarily of cardboard which is capable of holding nearly 500 pounds. Oh, and it only costs $10 to make.
According to .CoDesign, the belt-driven design of the bike makes it a maintenance-free ride, and could even be adapted to house an electric motor. In the works for more than three years, inventor Izhar Gafni is still in the process of raising funds for production, but its an idea so good, it'd be a shame for it not to become reality.

Letting Go Of Perfection And Checklists
May 17 2012
It's hard to say if letting go of perfection and checklists are related or not, unless of course you put "be your silly self even if someone looks disapprovingly your way or feels threatened by your authenticity" on your checklist. 🙂
A friend posted a 2010 article on facebook recently called Want to be happy? Stop trying to be perfect. It's so true. I don't know where we get that intense fear to be perfect and do it all correctly based on some model someone or a group of people or some stupid TV show put in our mind. I think part of the reason reality TV shows have done so well is because those who have time to watch them inevitably feel better about themselves when they see they aren't as screwed up as some other people out there! You must watch the author's video about the topic and her years of research: TEDxHouston – Brené Brown (youtube). She delivers her message in a very authentic/real way and that's what we are all striving to be: authentic and accepted for who we are. I like the slide where she equates a breakdown to an awakening. I've been there, done that and got the t-shirt. I hope I can help guide others through their awakening process because it's painful. I'll be attempting to do a little of that this weekend by being on the support team for the Search Within program that I participated in over 2 years ago. The founders of the program will be holding their last events this year after 15+ years of organizing them.
Another interesting read I found via Marc Andreeseen's blog is called The CEO's Weekly Checklist by Scott Weiss. He says you should "Push the Team. Sell the Vision. Arbitrate Disagreements. Manage by Walking Around. Talk to Customers." It made sense to me since I've worn those first time CEO shoes before. I might change the order, but other than that these are good guidelines. In my opinion, the number one job of a top notch CEO/President is to find the right people and orchestrate them towards success. It is much easier said than done. You have to get your ego out of the way and not be threatened by the authenticity you see in those people. If you hire them and don't listen to them, then you might as well dig your early grave from a business as well as your employees personal health perspective.

Artist Statement
The World around me fills me with awe,
So much so that I paint and draw,
My Sketchbooks they're busting,
With colour they're thrusting,
Then comes the itch,
To translate in stitch,
Is it Craft? Is it Art?
Who knows – Who gives a fart?
I like what I do,
And others do too,
So for colour on walls wherever you will,
My decorative darnings will sure fit the bill.

Simple Effective Anti-Malware Protection for Enterprise-class Servers
Enterprise servers can be a vulnerable, centralised point of information exchange. Even from inside the network, users or applications without adequate protection can unintentionally upload infected files to the server, which can spread to other systems that access these files. Additionally, large organizations may have hundreds or thousands of individual server machines that require monitoring, configuration, and maintenance. More importantly, today's sophisticated attacks can target multiple points on the network and leave unseen trails of damage and the potential for re-infection.
Trend Micro™ ServerProtect™ delivers the industry's most reliable virus, spyware and rootkit protection while simplifying and automating security operations on servers. ServerProtect scans and detects malware in real time and incorporates cleanup capabilities to help remove malicious code and repair system damage. Administrators can use one management console to centrally enforce, administer, and update malware protection on every server throughout an organization. This robust solution enables enterprises to secure the entire server file system including compressed archives, distribute virus patterns to remove any viruses that get through, and help automate the damage cleanup process to resolve problems left by virus infections. As a result, the cost and efforts associated with a virus infection can be significantly reduced.
Threat Protection
Protection Points
Reliable and Efficient Malware Protection
Automates Scanning to Optimise Protection
Centralised Deployment and Management
Immediate protection and clean-up capabilities
ServerProtect™ can be configured to download virus pattern files and scan engine updates automatically and then distribute them to designated servers. It uses an incremental update mechanism so that the designated servers only download the new virus pattern files that have been added since the last version, saving download time and preserving network bandwidth.
ServerProtect employs a three-tier architecture: the Management Console, the Information Server, and the Normal Server. A Normal Server can be any server on the network on which ServerProtect is installed—for example, a file server or FTP server. The Management Console is used to configure dedicated Information Servers, which then control the Normal Servers.

I tried a new practice mute today called the ssshhhmute, designed and distributed by Bremner Music. I have owned a series of different practice mutes through the years (Humes/Berg, Peacemaker, etc.) I have not found a practice mute that has met my needs (small kids sleeping). I was suspect on the ssshhhmute, but went ahead and tried it out. Heres what I found using my Getzen 3051 (trumpet), Bach Strad 180S, and my Getzen 3850 (cornet) during the past week with the Trumpet model of the practice mute.
Tone (9/10)
As with any mute, I am wondering how a mute sounds in my actual use. This mute played a little flat (not sure if this was the horns I play), compared to some other mutes Ive used. The sound was full (or as full as you would expect from a practice mute), and was loud enough that you can open up, and hear your tone. Although a little flat in mid/upper registers it was relatively minor, and something that I easily corrected for. Based upon the sound/volume of sound out of this mute, I think this mute has a very good combination for trumpet players.
Sound/Volume (10/10)
This was my big question. Can I get a good tone (see above), and still maintain a lower sound volume. Tried this mute out at home, and also at a local practice with the entire trumpet/cornet section (10 of us), and all felt it was a very quiet practice mute. Compared to the Humes/Berg, Peacemaker, and even a Stealth mute (not sure of the mfg.) this mute is best in class compared. The closest was the Stealth, and much better than the H/B. Overall a very good quiet mute that also played in tune. (what a combination)
Quality/Construction (10/10)
The mute is made of ABS thermoplastic, and has a nice, high gloss surface. The bottom is yellow, and is joined together in a high quality manner (no glue, scratches, like on some other plastics mutes Ive owned).
Other (10/10)
I was surprised by the carry bag that came with the mute itself. Very professional, and I think will keep the mute from getting damaged, beat up in my case with all of the other mutes I carry. The soft bag is black, and has a yellow draw string. Very nice, high quality bag.
Overall/Value (9.5/10)
At $38. dollars for a trumpet practice mute, it is right in the same range as other practice mutes Ive owned (except for the Humes/Berg but it didnt work). I would recommend you try this mute in your search for a great practice mute. Not the most common to find mute out there, but can order via PayPal. My shipment came within 3 days from Australia (amazing). The packaging was a little light, but it came absolutely perfect, with no damage. A good practice mute worth checking into!

Jackie Braxton, a 23-year-old adult performer from Detroit who posted an online video claiming she infected more than 500 people with HIV, now says she made the whole thing up to raise AIDS awareness.
"I made the tape because I wanted to raise awareness about AIDS," she told the Detroit News.
On the video, Braxton, whose stage name is "Fame," said she contracted HIV in 1998 and has been "pretty upset" about having to "suffer." She also said she has set out to "destroy the world" because a cure for the virus that causes AIDS has not been found.
Although she wore a bandanna over her face to hide her identity, police said they were still able to track her down. Police said the woman voluntarily submitted to an HIV test, which came back negative.
No charges have been filed against the woman, police spokesman John Roach said Friday.
"We don't see anything at this point under state law that would allow us to press charges, but we are researching," he said.
The gossip Web site mediatakeout.com was the first to report on the HIV hoax earlier and posted the 11-minute video of the woman on its site and on YouTube. The Detroit News and other local media outlets then picked up on the story.
Mediatakeout.com received the video via e-mail earlier this week, editor Fred Mwangaguhunga told the AP Friday.
"We looked at it, talked about it, and whether or not we thought it was a hoax and whether we should put it out," he said. "She was alleging a possible public health crisis. The hope was we would be able to find out more information on the woman. We uploaded it onto YouTube, and that's when we ran the story."
Mediatakeout.com also contacted Detroit police about the video.
Michael McElrath, a spokesman for the city's health department, said it appeared one positive did come from the hoax: The number of walk-ins for HIV testing more than doubled in Detroit on Friday. Because all information is confidential, people seeking testing were not required to say why.
According to the Daily Mail, Braxton makes amateur porn videos with her husband and has a 5-year-old child.
