List of ancient peoples of Italy
This is a list of ancient peoples living in Italy before the Roman conquest. Nearly all the names are either scholarly inventions or endonyms assigned by the writers of works in ancient Greek and Latin. The time window necessarily falls into the range of about 750 BC at the foundation of Rome to about 300 BC in the middle Roman Republic. Before the invention of writing, archaeological cultures might be hypothesized to have been associated with historical identities only in relatively isolated and continuous regions. Any further assumptions would be presumptuous by current standards. The ancient peoples of Italy are therefore confined to the Iron Age of Italy.
The following peoples are believed to have spoken languages that were not Indo-European, although most on scanty evidence. Some of them were pre-Indo-Europeans, and some not. For some has been also proposed the definition of Peri-Indo-European.[1]
- Elymians
- Euganei
- Oenotrians
- Sherden (proto-Sardinians[2])
- Sicani
- Tyrrhenians
- Osco-Umbrians, also called Sabellians:
- Ligures

There are times when you absolutely need your brain to work its best. You might have an important presentation at work' a critical academic test - or another situation in which you need optimal intellectual processing. From the ancient tradition of Ayurveda comes an herbal formula that can help you reach your goal. Whether you're seeking to stay on the competitive edge' trying to get there' or just wanting to achieve your "personal best'" Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength can help.
Planetary Herbals Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength™ features concentrated and standardized extracts of bacopa and Ginkgo biloba. These are combined with other classic Ayurvedic herbs traditionally renowned for their ability to support mental acuity.
Planetary Herbals' the company that unites traditional herbal wisdom with modern clinical research' offers Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength' a synergistic duo of herbs to support your brain's peak functioning. The herb Bacopa monniera' also called Brahmi' has been used to support peak brain processing in Ayurvedic herbalism for five thousand years. Recent clinical studies affirm that bacopa supports brain functioning' in particular memory retention. Ginkgo biloba' used traditionally in Chinese herbalism' has also been clinically proven to increase the effectiveness of the brain's functions of learning and recall. Enriching the herbal blend is a host of Ayurvedic support herbs' each known in its own right as a powerful antioxidant or tonic herb.
Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength - The Smart Formula:
The primary principle of Ayurveda is to maintain a healthful balance of mind and body. Key to this balance is a healthy mental state' especially during times when you want to learn and use new information. Planetary Herbals Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength offers support for improved mental function that is based on Ayurvedic traditional herbalism as well as modern clinical research.
New Research Supports Ancient Wisdom:
In various human studies' bacopa intake has been associated with faster information processing' increased learning rates' improved memory retention and reduced testing anxiety in as little as 12 weeks. In order to achieve clinically recommended dosages' Planetary Herbals Bacopa monniera extract is standardized to 20% bacosides' among the active ingredients in the herb.
Ginkgo biloba - Feed Your Brain:
The other half of this brain-enhancing formulation is Ginkgo biloba' which provides "food for your brain." Enhanced circulation brought about by Ginkgo biloba delivers bacopa to the brain readily' while the increased oxygen and glucose provide your brain with the fuel it requires for peak performance. Environmental toxins inside the body' along with the effects of stress' cause the build-up of certain chemical messenger molecules known as Platelet Activating Factor (PAF). These molecules sometimes increase to a detrimental amount due to environmental toxins and stress. Although helpful to the body when present to the appropriate amount' cellular irritation occurs when PAF is present in excess. Heightened amounts of PAF in the brain clog the works' decreasing cognitive brain function.
A standardized Ginkgo biloba extract is included for its renowned ability to support normal circulation. The Ginkgo biloba curtails the build-up in the brain of excessive PAF; functioning as a sort of "traffic regulator'" it eliminates traffic jams and clogs within the pathways of the brain. Multiple double blind' placebo-controlled clinical studies have shown ginkgo to provide an antioxidant action in the brain' as well as to protect the gray matter from the effects of stress.
Additional Adaptogenic Herbs:
The complementary herbs rounding out the formula are called adaptogens' because these herbs help body systems' including the brain' adapt to stress. These herbs are cardamom fruit' ashwagandha root' Indian valerian root' gotu kola leaf extract' chebulic myrobalan fruit' and Chinese asparagus rhizome. In Ayurveda' the herbs within this category are named rasayanas' which means' "restores right relationships." Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength is formulated to do just that - restore right relationships within your body and brain in order to enhance cognitive processing.
Clinically Derived Herbal Formulas:
Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength was formulated for daily use in clinical practice with real patients. The result is herbalism that you can rely on. Get Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength' and start restoring right relationships within your body - and brain - today.

Helps me get a better sleep
I used a blend in the past that included bacopa and ginkgo and it helped me get a better sleep but it was very expensive. Bacopa-Ginkgo Brain Strength seems that these bacopa-ginkgo tablets do the same thing only are much cheaper.

Blaine woman finds happiness in micro-lending career
By Tara Nelson
Blaine resident Summer Starr's definition of success doesn't depend on financial wealth.
If that were the case, she wouldn't have voluntarily taken up residence in a mud hut in Kenya, sharing quarters with a bat that ate many of the giant spiders while accummulating credit card debt to pay for the experience.
Starr, 27, is a graduate of the University of Washington's international development program and has worked for several international development agencies including Africa Aid and the Center for Microfinance in Amedabad, India.
Micro-lending is a process of economic development in which small loans are granted to the very poor in developing countries to help start or expand a business. In many cases, micro-lending has been successful in enabling impoverished people to engage in self-employment projects that generate income and in some cases, allow them to escape poverty.
She is currently working on her masters degree at the University of California at San Diego and was interviewed while home visiting her family in Blaine.
Q: What is it exactly about your job that you enjoy so much?
A: I just am very fascinated by the fact that every day is a struggle for people who live in these countries. It's as much of a learning process for me as it is for them, but it's having a connection with people that drives me. I'm not going to Africa to save the world. With microfinance, you give a woman a loan and it's exciting to see what she does with it and how it helps her and her family.
It's witnessing that power that is given when they have the opportunity to make that decision, when she is given that opportunity, that is so exciting. These women are just amazing and I feel honored to work with them. We talk about strength of character and they really have that. I'm hoping I might get some of that through osmosis.
Q: You talk about the role of gender in micro-lending. Explain.
A: The focus on microfinance is really with women because part of the model of microfinance is that when you give group loans, we call that building social capital, because that is tied to the respect of your peers and the attachment you have to the community. That's a lot more prevalent with women.
Men are a lot more independent in their work and a little more autonomous and competitive at the same time and so these loans are repaid as a group and the women tend to be much more cohesive as a group and a lot of time, the men see small loans as something unimportant to repay. They tend not to take it as seriously. It's interesting as much as there are cultural differences, those kinds of qualities exist in most of the communities you go to.
They always say if you increase a woman's wealth, that wealth goes to her family rather than if you increase a man's wealth. So while there are cultural differences in terms of how you address people, they are kind of over-ridden by these gender dynamics.
They're not the politicians, or authority figures, but you go to the market and these women are really the backbone of the country. They run these businesses but they also run the families as well.
Q: How did you get involved in mirco-lending?
A: I had my first experience traveling abroad in 2001 when I went to Vietnam, I had a friend who came into work and said she really wanted to go on this study abroad trip but there weren't enough people.
That trip really changed my focus. I had been wandering around and wondering what to study, taking pre-med classes but as soon as I went to Vietnam, I realized this is what I want to do.
After that, I started volunteering with an organization called East African Center, a Seattle-based educational group where my focus was working with a sewing group and helping them revise a small business curriculum. That's where I got my interest in working with small enterprises.
The same friend who got me to go to Vietnam, later told me about the International Relations and Pacific Studies program at the University of California at San Diego and I focused on international development.
Q: You said your previous focus had been education but that you found the effects to be intangible in some countries.
A: I was looking for something that I could see the direct impact, teaching people to read or to go to secondary school, I had real questions about the effect.
I heard of kids going to secondary school and not having anything to do when they got done, or they have to move away. That messes up the community dynamic. You have communities that are fairly well isolated and established so when you have people moving out of the community, it's sort of disruptive. It's forcing people to make a change to their lifestyle rather than incorporating the development into the community.
When I found micro business education I felt like I found my calling, which is helping people redefine what they're doing in their business and make more strategic decisions.
Q: Were you paid for this work or were you a volunteer?
A: I was living on credit cards, but I also had some support from UW in the form of a fellowship. So they paid for about half of the trip, which covered the airfare. I was paying off that trip for a couple of years.
I was also living like the locals did in a mud hut with no electricity, and I had a bat that ate all the really big spiders. It wasn't really domesticated but I was really happy it was there.
This summer, I went to Ghana to actually implement a microfinance project with Africa Aid. It's the first time I've actually been paid as a stipend.
Q: Can you talk a little about the differences in culture between the U.S. and these countries?
A: My very first thought after I got back from Ghana was 'Oh, my god, there are so many white people here." I was just shocked. I don't remember that same shock going to Ghana, but it was a little shocking coming back.
Going to these countries you stick out so much and everyone wants to talk to you. It gets a little tiring after awhile and in Kenya, they call you "Mnzungu," which means foreigner, and the kids jump and down and yell "Mnzungu!" and then coming home you're just one person in a sea of people.
But if I got lost someplace in Kenya or Ghana, I could ask anybody for directions and sometimes people would take you several blocks out of their way to show you. The people were incredibly nice.
I think during my trip to Kenya I really learned about community. Their emphasis on community is just amazing. There was one weekend where I lived with two Peace Corps people and they were both gone for the weekend. I thought I was going to be alone for the weekend and the community just wouldn't leave me alone. They just didn't understand that someone would want to be alone and thought it was abnormal.
People kept knocking on my door, and finally someone insisted I have to come stay with their family, so I spent the weekend with a family.
Q: Where do you see yourself in 10 or 20 years?
A: What about in three months? I would love to be doing the same work – capacity building – in Ghana. In reality, a lot of the jobs for practitioners are kind of like more oversight of grants or rating the microfinance institutions. Telling people how well they're functioning as an organization. But still, for me, having travel as a big part of what I do and having that connection with these organizations, those are the main things I'm looking for in a job.
Right now, I have one more quarter left of school and I'm just applying for as many jobs as possible. I've submitted applications to a lot of small organizations Plan International, Grameen Foundation, they actually have an office in Seattle, the Gates Foundation.

Moderated by Rick Badie
Tuesday's U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act quickly drew praise and criticism. Georgia is one of the Southern states that had been covered by the act's "preclearance" requirement, that changes in voting processes be approved by the U.S. Justice Department. Today, columnist George Will says the act has largely outlived its usefulness, while a Georgia state representative contends it is still very much needed.
A noble law was past its time
By George Will
"But history did not end in 1965." — Chief Justice John Roberts on Tuesday
WASHINGTON — Progressives resent progress when it renders anachronistic once-valid reasons for enlarging the federal government's supervisory and coercive powers. Hence they regret Tuesday's Supreme Court ruling that progress has rendered Section 4 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act unconstitutional.
This section stipulates the formula by which nine states and some jurisdictions in others are brought under Section 5, which requires them to get federal permission — "preclearance" — for even the most minor changes in voting procedures. The 15th Amendment empowers Congress to enforce with "appropriate legislation" the right to vote. Sections 4 and 5 were appropriate 48 years ago, when the preclearance provisions were enacted for five years. They have been extended four times, most recently in 2006 for 25 years.
The VRA is the noblest legislation in American history, more transformative than the 1862 Homestead Act, the 1862 Morrill Act (land-grant colleges) or the 1944 GI Bill of Rights. But extraordinary laws that once were constitutional, in spite of being discordant with the nation's constitutional architecture, can become unconstitutional when facts that made the law appropriate change.
The most recent data, such as registration and voting rates, on which Section 4 is based, are from 1972. The data would have been 59 years old when the most recent extension would have expired in 2031. Tuesday's decision prevents this absurdity that Congress embraced.
In 2009, in a case in which the court chose not to rule on the continuing constitutionality of the VRA's formula, the court — Chief Justice Roberts writing for the majority — clearly challenged Congress to update the VRA because it "imposes current burdens and must be justified by current needs." On Tuesday, Roberts tersely said Section 4 is "based on decades-old data and eradicated practices."
The 2006 extension was passed by votes of 390-33 and 98-0 in the House and Senate, respectively. Justice Antonin Scalia suggested during February's oral argument that these numbers indicated not conviction based on reflection about continuing necessities but rather the reluctance of risk-averse legislators to vote against something with the "wonderful" name Voting Rights Act. Scalia should have cited the actual name of the 2006 extension: the "Fannie Lou Hamer, Rosa Parks, and Coretta Scott King Voting Rights Act Reauthorization and Amendments Act."
It is anti-constitutional to argue that it would have been admirable "restraint" for the court to respect Congress' decision to extend all of the VRA — whether from conviction, cowardice or sloth — regardless of what the court has called the act's "substantial federalism costs."
Tuesday's decision came nine years after a presidential election in which most of the states where higher portions of whites than blacks were registered were in states (e.g., Massachusetts) not covered by Section 5. The decision came eight months after a presidential election in which African-Americans voted at a higher rate than whites. It came when in a majority of the nine states covered by the preclearance requirements, blacks are registered at a higher rate than whites. It came when Mississippi has more black elected officials — not more per capita; more — than any other state.
The Supreme Court's 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson decision affirming the constitutionality of racial segregation in separate but supposedly equal public accommodations rejected the idea that such segregation imposed a "badge of inferiority." But of course it did, as the court acknowledged in its 1954 school desegregation ruling. And during oral argument in February, Justice Stephen Breyer suggested the VRA remains constitutional because it acknowledges the South's continuing moral inferiority. He likened Southern racism to a dormant but still dangerous disease:
"Imagine a state has a plant disease, and in 1965 you can recognize the presence of that disease. … Now, it's evolved. … But we know one thing: The disease is still there in the state."
Breyer's insinuation was that we "know" the covered jurisdictions remain uniquely diseased, or potentially so. Tuesday, Roberts' response was that (in words from a prior court ruling) "the constitutional equality of the states is essential to the harmonious operation of the scheme upon which the Republic was organized."
Section 5 is now a nullity because it lacks force absent a Section 4 formula for identifying covered jurisdictions, and today's Congress will properly refuse to enact another stigmatizing formula. On Tuesday, however, the court paid the VRA the highest possible tribute by saying the act's key provision is no longer constitutional because the act has changed pertinent facts that once made it so.
Top court holds power over Ga. democracy
By LaDawn B. Jones
It's ironic that the U.S. Supreme Court will take up the "necessity" of Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act. Is the Supreme Court asking the correct question? Rather than ask, "Is it a 'necessity?'" the court should ask, "Are there are enough checks and balances in place to avoid the prejudices that the Voting Rights Act was put in place to prevent?"
In the 1960s, the egregious acts aimed at reducing individual voting rights guaranteed by the 15th Amendment were far more obvious than they are in the new millennium — except in Georgia.
In 2013, Georgia, one of the states subject to U.S. Justice Department review of all government action that affects voting rights, has not one, but three separate challenges to minority voting rights. Republican leaders in Georgia are wasting no time in creating rules that will maintain their control.
In May, a U.S. District Court struck down the at-large voting policy of Fayette County. The court determined that the county's process for electing county commissioners, school board members and board of elections members violates the Voting Rights Act. The county has until the end of June to propose new voting methods.
In Macon, there was a referendum asking voters if they wanted to move to all non-partisan elections for county positions. The voters overwhelmingly said "no." Then, just months later, the Bibb County delegation, which became majority Republican after the 2010 Republican-led redistricting, passed hotly contested local legislation that would overturn the will of the voters. Elections were changed to nonpartisan. The Justice Department has halted the planned July elections and required the delegation to provide answers regarding the purpose of the change.
Some Democrats allege that this change is a way to prevent Republican leadership from losing ground in an area that is becoming increasingly Democratic. As such, Republicans who typically have an easier time fund-raising, can hide behind the nonpartisan elections to win Democratic votes based on name recognition, rather than political ideology.
In Atlanta, there is a different challenge to the voting changes. During the last redistricting process for Fulton County, a majority Republican body drew in four additional Republican House and Senate members into the Fulton County delegation. The new members may only have one parcel of land in the county, but by the rules of the legislature, they get a vote on all local delegation matters. One of those votes included the re-drawing of the Fulton County Commission districts.
Typically, county commissioners submit maps that are passed by their local delegates without question. This year, Fulton County Republican members outvoted the Democratic members. The new map and the legislation that joined it reduced at-large voting members from two to one for each voter, and drastically changed the district lines. A new district was drawn in the overwhelmingly white and Republican North Fulton. Conversely, the district sizes were reduced for the majority African-American and Democratic South Fulton and city of Atlanta commission seats. County Commissioners have posed a court challenge, alleging that these changes were created to disenfranchise minority voters.
Whatever the decisions of the Justice Department in each case, it is clear that, if in one year there are this many concerns for one state, then we may not have progressed as far as we would think from 1965. Georgia is one example that Section 5 is still needed.
LaDawn B. Jones, D-Atlanta, is an attorney serving in the Georgia House of Representatives.

Obviously this is a very emotional issue and rightfully so, but we need to rise above emotion and apply some logic. While I don't have the information in front of me I have seen breakdowns recently that show some areas covered by Section 5 actually have above average representation of minority voters while some areas not covered were grossly underrepresented. In this day and time of advanced database expertise we should be able to easily identify specific areas in need of assistance instead of relying on data from fifty years ago.

The future of the social bookmarking is actually regarded as dismal, due simply towards the unsure way forward for leader site Delicious, be aware a couple of business watchers. Others, though, contended that the basic idea of social bookmarking will protect its relevance in a Facebook- as well as Twitter-dominated Web 2.0 world.
Jeremy Woolf, senior VP of public relations firm Text 100, described social bookmark submitting as a way of storing, organizing as well as discussing bookmarks, or even links and references to any kind of on the internet content material that a person finds interesting or helpful. This kind of content can be as Webpages, pictures or audio and video documents, he added.
The book-marking service had been among the first Web 2.0 tools being well-liked since it made grouping as well as sharing Internet information easy for users, Woolf mentioned in the e-mail. Nevertheless its relevance appears to be waning although, stated senior consultant of Ovum Craig Skinner,. He refers to Yahoo's decision to axe Delicious that is one of the initial sites in social bookmarking that were obtained by the Web Company in 2005--last month. A subsequent report mentioned that the organization won't close but be occupy to a different organization.
Elaborating upon their point, the actual Ovum analyst asserted both distinct makes use of associated with social bookmarking--discovering new content and organizing it--have been increasingly changed through alternatives that are quick gaining interest amongst Internet users.
For example, individuals are progressively turning to social networking websites such as Facebook to find out new information in real-time, as well as wikis in order to curate information, Skinner noticed. Woolf concurred. "The rise of real-time internet sites, sophisticated internet search engine algorithms and sociable search have [raised] queries within the way forward for social bookmark submitting."

Faro Convention
Framework Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society (the Faro Convention) is first and foremost a convention about society, for society. It suggests that in the face of the present crisis relating to political representation, economic models and cultural identity, heritage provides answers by fostering
citizen participation, promoting itself as a
resource rooted in continuity and sustainability, and becoming a factor for
dialogue as a source of respect and social cohesion.
Working themes
Broadening of the heritage concept in a human rights and democracy perspective suggests an interpretation of the Faro Convention which clarifies the idea of better "living together". Three main working themes will be developed by the Council of Europe (action plan 2014-2015):
1. making the most of cultural diversity in order to generate a local and European citizenship;
2. taking integrated a action on the living environment and the quality of life in trying
out new economic models;
3. promoting democratic participation in order to influence policy-making and render it more legitimate and sustainable.
Reference notions
From this angle, the
conclusions of the joint European Union/Council of Europe
Marseilles Forum highlighted three initial reference notions related to the
social value of heritage (the action plan 2014-2015 will develop these further, as well as those related to the cultural and economic values of heritage):
a. Citizenship is based on a community, which is in turn based on a territory;
b. Social cohesion is newly founded on various modes of participation and involvement;
c. Local democracy reinforced by developing civil society's capacities for action.

The Cleveland Indians' 2013 season starts today, meaning our quest to profile every player who will be on the Opening Day roster is nearing its end. (We haven't gotten to Jason Giambi yet, but he hasn't been activated yet anyway.) Today, we finish our look at the pitching staff with the Tribe's closer, Chris Perez.
Background: The St. Louis Cardinals took Perez out of the University of Miami in the sandwich round (No. 42 overall) of the 2006 MLB amateur draft, just three picks after the Indians took David Huff. He quickly began tearing minor-league hitters to shreds and appeared on Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects list in both 2008 and 2009—high praise for a relief pitcher. He made his MLB debut in 2008 and came to Cleveland a year later in the deal that sent Mark DeRosa to the Cardinals.
Last year: Perez' 2012 season got off to an awful start, but he redeemed himself in short order, posting a 3.59 ERA (109 ERA+) and notching 39 saves in 57.2 innings en route to his second consecutive All-Star appearance. Significantly, he struck out more than a batter an inning—his highest strikeout rate ever as a closer and a huge improvement over 2011—while getting the walks down to a by-far career-low 2.5 BB/9. The DIPS stats varied in estimating Perez' true-talent ERA, but SIERA put it as low as 3.04; for what it's worth, Perez has a history of outperforming his peripherals in his career.
Baseball-Reference, FanGraphs, and Baseball Prospectus all valued Perez' 2012 performance at between 0.7 and 0.9 wins above replacement.
Key factor: Strikeouts. It's entirely plausible that Perez will replicate his 9.2 K/9 rate from 2012, but it's far from a safe assumption. Looking over his career numbers Perez once struck out as many as 10.7 K/9, but more relevantly his strikeout rate was a putrid 5.9 K/9 as recently as 2011. A dominant closer will have a hard time remaining either of those two things without getting batters to swing and miss on a regular basis, so Perez' past could be cause for concern.
2013 projections: Courtesy of FanGraphs. (*—estimated with the Simple WAR Calculator)
Bill James sees Perez as an elite closer. Steamer and ZiPS consider him a fairly ordinary reliever. Oliver is somewhere in between.
Best-case scenario: Combine the best parts of 2010 and 2012. Perez continues to rack up the strikeouts while limiting the walks and inducing weak contact. His role as closer is never in doubt as his ERA never even approaches 3.00 and chases 50 saves en route to his third straight All-Star appearance.
Worst-case scenario: It's 2011 all over again. The strikeouts recede and the walks return, but this time batters start hitting him harder. Combine that with a nagging shoulder problem and he loses his title as the Godfather of the Bullpen Mafia. Inertia might keep him in the closer's role but it becomes painfully clear that he's no longer the Tribe's relief ace.
What to expect: It's no guarantee that the strides Perez made last year are permanent, but I expect they'll hold up. Look for more or less a repeat of what he did in 2012.

Laughing With kafka
by David Foster Wallace. An essay that is dear to my heart.
For me, a signal frustration in trying to read Kafka with college students is that it is next to impossible to get them to see that Kafka is funny … Nor to appreciate the way funniness is bound up with the extraordinary power of his stories. Because, of course, great short stories and great jokes have a lot in common… I might invite students to consider what is really being expressed when we refer to someone as "creepy" or "gross" or say that somebody was forced to "eat shit" in his job. Or to reread "In the Penal Colony" in light of expressions like "tonguelashing" or "She sure tore me a new asshole" or the gnomic "By a certain age, everybody has the face he deserves." Or to approach "A Hunger Artist" in terms of tropes like "starved for attention" or "love-starved" or the double entendre in the term "self-denial," or even as innocent a factoid as that the ety- mological root of "anorexia" happens to be the Greek word for longing.

Are too few students focusing on Humanities?
I read yesterday that fewer than 8% of college students now major in humanities. The most popular major is Business Administration and then all the STEM fields.
Does this seem like a sensible mix, or has attention swung too heavily in one direction?
While I cannot now find the article, please let this interesting piece serve in its place: http://artsandhumanities.fas.harvard.edu/files/humanities/files/mapping_the_future_31_may_2013.pdf
Finally I came upon the report that motivated my question. http://humanitiescommission.org/_pdf/HSS_Report.pdf

Casey Kitchel 10+Jun 29 2013: "Are too few students focusing on the Humanities?" In my opinion, most likely.
Perhaps its a sign of how society sees little value (business potential) in the arts and culture.
Could there be correlation between the lack of diversity in college students studies and the current status of the economy?

You're doing yourself such a big favor if you try their American cuisines, including pasta, chicken, pork ribs, steak, salad, burger and seafood, on a daily basis.
Ruby Tuesday's History
Similar to the birth of all great things, Ruby Tuesday started from scratch. Sandy Beall, Ruby Tuesday's founder, was able to put up the necessary money to open the first Ruby Tuesday in 1972. It kept on expanding almost every nine months since then. The restaurant's name was coined after the popular song of The Rolling Stones entitled "Ruby Tuesday." It was in 1982 that Beall sold Ruby Tuesday to Morrison, Inc. which was renamed Morrison Restaurants Inc. in 1992. Ruby Tuesday Inc., with Beall as the CEO, became a successor-in-interest to Morrison Restaurants Inc. that paved the way to the restaurant's further expansions. Currently, Ruby Tuesday is operating nearly 900 promising restaurants across the globe.

Chalk this one up to a poor pitching effort. It's easy to say that when your team allows eleven runs, but in this case, it was true. Scott Schoeneweis was the only Met pitcher to not allow a run in this game, and the Braves spent most of the day teeing off on Mets pitching. John Maine, after such a dominant spring, did not look good at all, going only four innings and allowing four runs on eight hits with three walks thrown in for good measure. All of the hits were singles, but if you allow enough singles in a short period of time, eventually the other team is going to score some runs. He did have five strikeouts, which is good, but he couldn't get a key groundball out, which could have erased a baserunner or two with a double play. It will be games like today that show the weakness of Omar Minaya's strategy of targeting flyball pitchers; sure, in Shea's massive outfield with two good defensive outfielders who can cover some ground, there will be a lot of flyball outs, but there will also be fewer double plays turned on a pretty good defensive infield, plus you can't hit a ground ball over the fence.
Kelly Johnson proved that in spades, hitting a pinch hit grand slam home run in the 7th off of Jorge Sosa, who simply did not look good today. The grand slam to Johnson essentially broke the Mets' backs; at that point, the score was 5-3, and it was conceivable that the Mets could come back, but the grand slam made it 9-3, and then Nelson Figueroa tacked on two more for the Braves and at that point, it became a shellacking. But hey, at least we're not asking Figueroa to replace the 2nd most important member of the Mets rotation, right?
David Wright's hitting streak came to an end today, and it's a shame because a timely hit or two out of Wright would have kept this game close. I mean, there are simply going to be days where Wright doesn't have it and I'm not going to jump on his case, but after last season, it was almost shocking for me to see Wright fail to come through when the Mets needed him today. After he did so much to keep this team going last year, basically willing this team to stay in the pennant race as long as they did, it was actually stunning to see him fail when the team needed him. I'm not blaming him for the loss, law of averages say that he isn't going to hit 1.000 in these situations, but after last year, it did feel like that's what he was hitting. Hey, at least he did a good job reading the lineups for Fox, right?
Speaking of Fox, I really wish I could say I was happy to see Fox back in action, showing the national game of the week today. Unfortunately, I can't say that, because their coverage remains horrible. I like what Ken Rosenthal brings to the table, because he is a well-connected guy, and even smug Joe Buck didn't bother me as much as he normally does today, probably because he wasn't openly rooting for the Mets' opponents, but Tim McCarver remains the master of the obvious statement. Look, I'm not asking announcers to be as technical as Ron Darling can be, or as entertaining as Keith Hernandez can be. But tell me something I don't know out there. Make me enjoy the game more. Don't make me question the idiocy. Don't make me feel like I'm being talked down to, like I can't figure these things out on my own. That's what Tim McCarver does, and it drives me crazy.
Another thing I hate about Fox's coverage, and this extends to ESPN as well – in-game interviews. SNY has done this with starters who exit the game too, and I hate it. Don't talk over live action. The game that is happening now is what I am into at this moment. If I want to know what was going through the manager's mind for this play or that play, I'll watch his post-game press conference. If I gave a crap about what John Smoltz has to say about this game, or if he has anything interesting to say, I'm sure a clip of this will air on the post-game show. But broadcasters need to stay in the moment of the game and worry about what is happening on the field. The worst is the arrogance of those who produce the games, who will say that somebody like me "doesn't know what baseball fans really want." Guess what? I know a lot of baseball fans, and they all feel the same way I do; stop interrupting the game with trivial bullsquid and pay attention to the damn game!
I would be remiss if I completed this recap without mentioning my momentary burst of fury in the 5th, when the Mets had the bases loaded with one out. Jose Reyes hits a little blooper to left-center. Braves center fielder Mark Kotsay dives but can't catch the ball – he traps it in his mitt. The dumbass umpire rules it caught, which freezes up Ryan Church, who gets passed by Angel Pagan. Kotsay throws to 2nd for the easy double play and the inning is over. Willie Randolph argues, the umpires confer, and finally rule that Kotsay did NOT catch the ball, and all base runners can advance one base on the play. Bobby Cox comes out to argue with the umps, saying that since Pagan passed Church on the basepaths, that he should be out, but the umpires rule that since they were the dumbasses who were the reason behind Pagan passing Church, that Pagan is safe at third regardless.
Now, my problems with the above scenario: first, of course, I jumped out of my chair in incredulousness that the umpire would dare call a blatant trapping as a catch, particularly since it went from giving the Mets two runs to ending the inning for the Mets down 4-1. Then they confer and decide that Kotsay didn't catch the ball after all. I mean, what the hell? It's not like they had a replay they could watch; how could they suddenly decide "Whoops, I guess we blew this one"? Not that I'm particularly unhappy about this, since it put the Mets back in the inning, but how can they suddenly just change their minds on this without the benefit of replay? Also, how is it fair to the Mets that they were cost a run on this play because the dumb umpire couldn't get the call right the first time? There was just so much wrong on display just with this series of calls, and so far in this brief season, it has been a running subplot; the umpiring to start the season has felt particularly bad. Hopefully it's just a case of crews being off a little bit to start the season, and we'll see things change as the year goes on, but I'm doubting it.
Finally, today was the first time I saw Tom Glavine in a Braves uniform, and…well, it actually felt strange. I mean, he had been a Met for five years. Sure, he wasn't particularly great during that time frame, and at no point had he been the ace that the team had been paying him to be. And yes, when the Mets needed him most during his five years in the team, he absolutely crapped the bed. Still, it definitely felt weird to see him back with the enemy, although I did chuckle when I saw him plugging Tim McCarver's book, as though I couldn't imagine two more loathsome people pairing together. I'm just glad he's not pitching in this series after all; that would have been too weird to start the year.
The Mets will try to split what has now become a two-game series tomorrow back at Turner Field, where it will be a battle of aces. John Smoltz will pitch for Atlanta against Johan Santana in a game I am expecting to be a real pitcher's duel. If I were you, I wouldn't tune in late, because you might miss a good chunk of this one. Game time is 1:30 and the game is on SNY tomorrow, a rare Sunday game on SNY.

Crispy Browned White Beans
Here's a simple recipe for browned white beans. Make these as a side dish, or serve them over grains with a dollop of yogurt for a light, healthy main course. I like making these with a large variety of white bean, such as the gigante or large butter bean, because they're easy to flip so you can brown both sides. The beans should be mostly dry when you're ready to start cooking.tags: sides beans sauté more

A presumably stoned on drugs, high 20-something backpack guy sat on the bus inbetween Brittney and me this morning on our way to work. Suddenly, as we're driving through the Financial District, he says something along the stoned on drugs, high lines of "Is this 26?"
Brittney replied, "The 26th bus? Or 26th Street?"
And I, because he was not unattractive and I am very nosey, dove in and said, "Are you trying to go to 26th Street? You're going in the wrong direction?"
He was 27-ish with a huge backpack strapped to him like we were on Eurorail and not the 12, and he stared at us, more bemused than confused. I'm sure he saw cartoon barn animals floating through the air in between the lemmings with the office jobs.
He finally said, "26. I'm trying to get to the 1."
I fought to keep my perky tone and asked, "Where are you trying to go?"
"Highway 1. Well, I'm really going to Los Angeles."
Of course you are. Which is why you're on the 12 Muni at 9am going north through the SAN FRANCISCO'S Financial District.
I decided to tell him to backtrack and go down to Market, getting on the N Judah, which I know goes to the beach, where Highway 1 is, and where apparently this backpacker expects to be picked up in the hippie van from Forrest Gump.
All of this information was met with a blank stare while he nodded and repeated his plans to take Highway 1 to LA. And I felt how my mother feels when I offer some sort of vague but major plan. She tries to hide her frustration while offering me highly specific options and concrete ways to solve my dilemna, while I'm like, "Relax, lady. Take it easy. Everything is groovy..."

Topic - Cuillin Ridge in winter; timings for different sections
Mike Lates - on 08 Dec 2012
One oversight in the new guidebook is a winter grade for doing individual sections and rounds of the corries. With conditions looking good in the coming week the breakdown below may be useful. It should also be of use for those just doing individual sections.
Winter is when the Cuillin truly takes on its "Alpine" status with conditions affecting the seriousness, line & techniques differently through the day. Descents are particularly thought provoking! With this in mind I've opted for using an alpine grading rather than Scottish winter. Timings are for (R) rounds, (S) sections or (A) approach. Approach & descents will vary hugely but allow 3.5 hours to the first summit in all but perfect conditions. Allow a min of 2 hours to descend but the last hour will probably be on a good footpath.
Daylight is about 7-30am to 4pm just now but will vary a lot with cloud cover.
(R) Traverse Gillean up Tourist rte, Descend from Bealach A Bhasteir E-W AD 9hrs
(S) Traverse Am Basteir & Tooth AD 1.5hrs
(S) Bruach na Frithe to Bealach Harta AD 2hrs
(S) Traverse Bidean N-S (col to col on Traverse) D 1.5hrs
(S) Glaic Moire to An Dorus AD 2hrs
(S) An Dorus- Banachdaich AD 2+hrs
(R) Coire na Banachdaich PD 8hrs
(A) Dearg W Ridge PD 3hrs in ascent
(R) Coire Lagan, Pinn to Alasdair D 9hrs
(R) Dubhs from Ghrunnda AD 7hrs
(R) Sgurr nan Eag to Gars-bheinn PD 8hrs
A brief overview is also available here & prints off easily in a single A4 sheet.

Club Texas just opened in Kisii town.Located at Capital Roundabout , on the 2nd Floor of Gilta Plaza .Adds up to the number of numerous joints in town with most recent joint opened up being Club Keiko opposite Post Bank. Perfect timing for its opening over the December festive season. Quite a competition there with the already established Havana on the 1st Floor of Gilta Plaza. Let's see whether people will shift to the new joint.
Club Keiko located opposite Post Bank near the Hospital Roundabout .Opened mid this year it has been the new favorite hangout spot for Kisii's socialites. Kinda unique location on top of a petrol station and is quite popular judging by comments around. Close rival is the Jazz Pub a few metres from it and one of the veteran modern entertainment joints in town.
As am writing this post there are new upcoming joints, I think two opposite Dallas Club and Lisbon Club along the Kisii Taxi area but from the look of the construction might not be opened for the December season.
Watch out this space for more updates.
Have you ever hanged out at any of these joints?
send us your feedback on quality of service, music , aura .Feel free also to upload some photos using the form below.

Today's guests:
Senior Advisor and Fellow
Center for a New American Security
The very uniformed leaders the Pentagon needs to lead in difficult times are some of the leaders that are leaving the military. That school of thought is one that's gaining credence in Washington. Gen. David Barno, senior fellow and co-director of the Responsible Defense Program at the Center for a New American Security, was the first Commander of Combined Forces Command Afghanistan.
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
Federal chief information officers won't see any new government-wide initiatives when the White House issues its fiscal 2015 budget request next month. The Office of Management and Budget annual budget passback guidance focuses on ongoing programs instead. Federal News Radio's executive editor Jason Miller has exclusive details on what OMB is telling agencies to do with technology for 2014.
Director of Strategic Issues
Government Accountability Office
The federal government is still a good place to look for jobs, according to the Government Accountability Office. The GAO is taking a look at the overall federal employment numbers and they're on the rise.

Retirement announcements that affect your agency are coming fast, but they're not all coming from your agency. A lot of them are coming from Capitol Hill.
Senior Correspondent
Federal News Radio
The Social Security Administration and the Environmental Protection Agency are reshaping their work forces. Agencies across government can use early outs and buyouts to encourage you and your colleagues to leave and save them money. Federal News Radio Senior Correspondent Mike Causey says it's the best season of the year for these moves.

I was pleasantly surprised by these thick, absorbent, high quality terry headbands selling at only $2apiece. I figure there had to be a catch at the low price, but there wasn't. Great deal!

I bought these for my boyfriend. He has a large head and they fit him comfortably.Plus, the stiped ones look pretty cool.

I bought these for my husband to wear when he's working outside. We live in GA and can have scorching hot days. Since we have a herd of horses and a herd of goats, my husband spends hours outside. He was adamant that he wanted a sweatband that was not too tight. I read the other reviews before I bought this one. I had no idea there was such a price range on something like a headband...who knew? These headbands are affordable, wash and dry without changing the sizing, are extremely comfortable (according to my picky husband) and do what they promise.

The wrist bands along with headbands never arrived and it took a long time to get through to supplier. Ordering for Halloween costume will not order again.

These headbands are wide, soft, absorbant and made well.I am very pleased and would purchase from this seller again and definitely would purchase these head bands again.I like the variety of colors.

I purchased these headbands for my husband to wear while he's doing gardening and yard work. He also wears them while caning antique chairs as it keeps him dry and the sweat out of his eyes. The colors are bold and really cool-looking.I bought several so he would have a fresh one for every day of the week. He loves them. I liked them myself and tried one on to keep my hair off my face while applying make-up, but the band was too tight. Maybe the company will start making them for this use as well.
