A perfect combination of body woods for strong, rhythmic playing styles.
The heralded Dreadnought guitar is the most traditional of all acoustics. By definition, it's a battleship of a guitar and the Taylor DN Series pays tribute to that legacy—and then some. The Sapele/Sitka Dreadnought 6-String's booming bass and articulate mids dare you to dig in and challenge your flatpicking prowess. Signature Taylor performance, quality, and value make our sapele/spruce acoustic guitars a great introduction to the solid-wood Taylor experience. Simple, traditional styling and renowned Taylor craftsmanship make this combination one of their most popular models.
The warm tone and open midrange of sapele balances the bright and snappy characteristics of a Sitka spruce top. The resulting combination provides the perfect guitar for strong, rhythmic playing styles.
Dreadnought (DN)
The Taylor Dreadnought is a focused guitar with plenty of presence, recently redesigned to be even more assertive. It's the traditional choice for the traditional player; the model to drive with a heavy pick.
Gloss Top/Satin Back & Sides
The finish used to create this guitar's textured satin back and sides and lustrous gloss top was developed at Taylor for maximum durability and resistance to cold-checking. This ultraviolet-cured finish is also more environmentally friendly than traditional lacquer finishes.

Comments about Taylor DN3 300 Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I had no intention of buying a guitar, I was in GC just checking out the acoustics as I do on occasion. (You know, just kicking a few tires). I picked up this guitar after palying others at over 3K. This guitar chose me. It's a great sounding and playing guitar. As a side note, I was offered a job as a guitar player in an actively locally touring band from one of the other customers.
Anyway I checked the intonation with a strobe and it was dead on. Try that with other brands and you may not be satisfied with the outcome.
Taylor really amazes me with their products. I also have a 510CE at home, so I DID NOT need this guitar, I wanted it.

Comments about Taylor DN3 300 Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I purchased this in September 2011 and haven't put it down since. I am no expert guitar player but I was ready to upgrade from my beginner level Fender acoustic. Was going to get a Taylor 110 until I discovered this. Instantly I knew that this was my guitar. Solid wood vs. laminate which appealed most to me. The neck is amazing. The guitar itself is beautiful. The tone is beyond words. So bright and crisp but with plenty of low end. I hear Gibsons and Martins on TV/radio that sound much better but was not impressed at all with them when I actually played them at Guitar Center. They were 3-4 times the price of the DN3 but the Taylor sounded/played better to me. This guitar has made me a much better guitarist. Although I'd like to start, I don't perform but would gladly take this to a gig. Another thing worth noting is the case. Very nice! The complaint of mine is having to order a pick guard. Maybe it affects the tone, maybe it doesn't. I guarantee I couldn't tell the difference and neither could 95% of you. But it looks naked without one. Go to your local GC and try one of these out. I'm confident in saying that there is not a better guitar within $1500 of the DN3. Its such a great value. Not everybody has $3000 to drop on a guitar! I know that its a guitar I'll cherish for the rest of my life.

Comments about Taylor DN3 300 Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I searched everywhere, and played every guitar I could get my hands on, from Martin, to Gibson, Takamine, and Breedlove. Looked for over Six Months, and after all that time I finally found my gem- The Taylor DN3. This guitar plays, sounds, and looks beautiful. I was looking at Martin D28's, and 35's, and I played both of them back and back up against the DN3, they sounded alright, but didn't even come close in playibility. This guitar is a performance guitar, you can play anything on it, and it ALWAYS sounds Phenominal! If your out there guitar shopping, and your looking for a good priced, good all around guitar that will be able to handle anything you throw at it, look no further, this might be the one for you.

The sound and tone are the strengths of
this guitar. It sounds amazing! The looks
are on the plain side though. No glossy
finish, no pickguard, no frills. The nut is
a hair wider than most at 1 3/4.

Comments about Taylor DN3 300 Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
I wanted a good guitar to replace my old J45 as my main gigging acoustic. I looked at a LOT of guitars ranging from around $800 to around $2500. I kept coming back to this guitar and a new Martin D18. The price & the sound eventually won me over the Martin (loved the Martin, though). Bright like a Taylor, yet not too bright and with more bottom end than I'd been use to hearing from Taylors. Very loud, great neck (I like the 1 3/4" width), no bells or whistles, just a great acoustic guitar. Only thing I didn't like was the lack of a pickguard. I bought a pickguard from Taylor with the intent of having my Luthier put it on the guitar for me, but he talked me out of it (said it would dampen the sound some; I think he just didn't want to mar the finish by putting it on...). You could spend a lot more money on much more ornate guitars that might sound as good, but for me this DN3 was all I needed.
The sound of this guitar alone is what sold me most on it (and from what I've read elsewhere has sold a lot of others on it as well).

Comments about Taylor DN3 300 Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar:
For the money this is a nice guitar. I'm a Martin guy and have several high end guitars. The Taylor DN3 is a nice change being much brighter than my Martins. I love the neck on this guitar....it plays great and sounds full. I would recommend this guitar to anyone wanting to own a Taylor....it's great.

Nathan Reardon will be hoping 2013/14 is the year he shines in the Sheffield Shield. The 28 year old has excelled in both the Ryobi Cup and the KFC T20 Big Bash League, but is yet to fire in the four day format.
After making his 50 over debut in 2005, Reardon had to wait until 2011/12 to really make an impact for the Bulls.
The left-handed pocket rocket was Queensland's most influential player that year, hitting 403 runs at 57.57.
Reardon hit four impressive half-centuries that year, but it was his 116 against the Warriors that garnered the most praise.
Despite hitting a big hundred in a first-class match against the West Indies, Reardon's maiden domestic ton stands out as his greatest achievement in cricket.
His big hitting has always been his strongest asset, and was highlighted by his tournament topping 12 sixes for Queensland in the 2008/09 Big Bash.
To prove it wasn't a fluke, he cleared the fence a further ten times last year for his new franchise, the Adelaide Strikers.
Reardon's form last season was fairly solid, with the left-hander scoring back to back half-centuries in the Ryobi Cup to help guide his side to the final.
He had a fairly quiet Shield campaign, but did star against the Tigers in the final pool match with scores of 39 and 46, as well as three wickets.
Reardon was rewarded with a spot in the side for the final against Tasmania, and top scored with 51 in the fourth innings as the match ground out to finish in a draw.

President Obama has abolished the position in his White House dedicated to transparency and shunted those duties into the portfolio of a partisan ex-lobbyist who is openly antagonistic to the notion of disclosure by government and politicians.
Obama transferred "ethics czar" Norm Eisen to the Czech Republic to serve as U.S. ambassador. Some of Eisen's duties will be handed to Domestic Policy Council member Steven Croley, but most of them, it appears, will shift over to the already-full docket of White House Counsel Bob Bauer.
Bauer is renowned as a "lawyer's lawyer" and a legal expert. His resume, however, reads more "partisan advocate" than "good-government crusader." Bauer came to the White House from the law firm Perkins Coie, where he represented John Kerry in 2004 and Obama during his campaign.
Bauer has served as the top lawyer for the Democratic National Committee, which is the most prolific fundraising entity in the country. Then-Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., the caricature of a cutthroat Chicago political fixer, hired Bauer to represent the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. In the White House, Bauer is tight with Emanuel, having defended Emanuel's offer of a job to Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., whom Emanuel wanted out of the Senate race.
Another Bauer client was New Jersey Sen. Robert "Torch" Torricelli back in 2001. When one Torricelli donor admitted he had reimbursed employees for their contributions to the Torch -- thus circumventing contribution limits -- Bauer explained, "All candidates ask their supporters to help raise money from friends, family members and professional associates."
Bauer's own words -- gathered by the diligent folks at the Sunlight Foundation -- show disdain for openness and far greater belief in the good intentions of those in power than of those trying to check the powerful. In December 2006, when the Federal Election Commission proposed more precise disclosure requirements for parties, Bauer took aim at the practice of muckraking enabled by such disclosure.
On his blog, Bauer derided the notion "that politicians and parties are pictured as forever trying to get away with something," saying this was an idea for which "there is a market, its product cheaply manufactured and cheaply sold." In other words -- we keep too close an eye on our leaders.
In August 2006 Bauer blogged, "disclosure is a mostly unquestioned virtue deserving to be questioned." This is the man the White House has put in charge of making this the most open White House ever.
Most telling might have been Bauer's statements about proposed regulations of 527 organizations: "If it's not done with 527 activity as we have seen, it will be done in other ways," he told the Senate rules committee.
"There are other directions, to be sure, that people are actively considering as we speak. Without tipping my hand or those of others who are professionally creative, the money will find an outlet."
This perfectly captures the Obama White House's attitude toward disclosure. Sure, the administration publish the names of all White House visitors, but, as the New York Times reported a few weeks back, White House folks just meet their lobbyists at Caribou Coffee across the street. Sure, they restrict the work of ex-lobbyists in the administration, but lobbyists who de-list aren't questioned.
And we've seen just a few of the e-mails former Google lobbyist, now Obama tech policy guru, Andrew McLaughlin traded with current Google lobbyists using his Gmail account, but who knows what else the White House whiz kids are doing to avoid the Presidential Records Act -- Facebook messages? Twitter direct messages?
Did I mention Bauer was a lobbyist? At Perkins Coie, Bauer lobbied on behalf of America Votes Inc., a Democratic 527 funded by the likes of the AFL-CIO and ACORN.
The Sunlight Foundation is also concerned about the fact the White House no longer has anyone whose job is transparency, as Eisen's job was. John Wonderlich, at SunglightFoundation.com, lists a few transparency promises on which the president hasn't followed through, including earmark transparency, a single Web site (Ethics.gov) with all ethics and accountability information, and better lobbying disclosure, among others.
As with his other reformer rhetoric, Obama's transparency is mostly smoke and mirrors.

Dancers turn back clock to get into the swing of things
7:00am Saturday 11th January 2014 in News
DANCERS have been stepping back in time at classes held at an Oxford pub.
The Mitre in High Street has been hosting the 1920s and 1930s dance lessons and social meets for more than a year now.
Held every Tuesday from 7.30pm to 11pm, the evening sees dancers get an hour-long lesson followed by a social dance session.
Instructor Cassiope Sydoriak said the classes were a good chance to socialise, listen to good music, and get some exercise. And she said more than 10 people came along every week.
She said: "The whole idea is people can come and learn but also spend some time chatting and dancing.
"It is really fun because you get to meet everyone. Dance is like conversation without words so you can communicate with people in a way you would not usually.

While most "law" books in Hebrew characters are either Jewish, or in recent years, Israeli law, there are some odd exceptions. These are books written in a Jewish language, probably Hebrew but perhaps Yiddish, on the non-Jews' legal system. Some reflect an author trying to inform the Jews of the non-Jews' laws that might recently have become applicable to them, or to discuss their impact in a language that was more familiar and perhaps allowed more freedom than writing in a language that could easily be read by the non-Jewish population. While these books may be important for studying legal history, they are largely inaccessible to mainstream legal scholars due to being in Hevbrew script, and the context would bwe hard to appreciate by Judaica scholars lacking legal training, though their very existence is perhaps an interesting source for studying how Jews related to the non-Jewish environment.

The Broder singers (Yiddish: di Broder zinger) were the first professional, secular Yiddish performers, bringing Yiddish songs and short dramas into wine cellars, restaurants, and inns in Galicia, Romania and Russia, beginning in the mid-nineteenth century and later overlapping with the early Yiddish theater. The Broder repertoire was both serious and comic, influenced by Chasidism on one hand and haskole (enlightenment) on the other. This lecture explores the personalities behind this legendary movement, their performance styles, and the (often murky) provenance and content of their repertoire.
Presented by Amanda Seigel at the 2013 AJL Conference in Houston, TX.
Bryan Stone and Rabbi Jimmy Kessler gave the Opening Plenary for the 2013 AJL conference in Houston, TX on June 17, 2013. They described the history of Jewish life in Texas through the lens of myth and misconception. When the first Jewish communities began to emerge in the 1850's, immigrants were attracted in part by a Texas mythology that emphasized individual freedom and economic opportunity. In the 20th century, Texas retained its appeal as a place of mythic opportunity, as the Galveston Movement illustrates. Even today, myths persist about Texas Jewry. The speakers provide evidence and anecdotes to show that Texas is, and has been for more than 150 years, the setting for a thriving, self-identified, and spiritually rich - if a somewhat distinctive - Jewish community.

A Jewish presence in China can be traced back to the Tang period in the 8th century. In modern history, the rise of anti-Semitism in Russia and Eastern Europe in early 19th century and the Holocaust propelled waves of Jews to North and South China. These historical events have been researched and updated by Jewish people ever since their gradual departure from China in the beginning of the 1950s. This presentation provides details on Chinese records of Jewish "guest dwelling" in China.

As part of its mission to serve the Jewish Studies scholarly community, JSTOR has engaged two initiatives to increase coverage of this field in the JSTOR archive. The first is to expand inclusion of Jewish Studies academic journals by including more international titles and expanding broad interdisciplinary coverage of the field. The second is to include periodicals in the Hebrew language. This second initiative was made possible in part through a grant-funded collaboration between JSTOR, the University of Haifa Library and the National Library of Israel, and began with a pilot project to digitize and test the complete back runs of four academic serials in Hebrew through the JSTOR platform, the first of its kind. Throughout the process, we have gained from the input and insights of library and faculty advisors in the Jewish scholarly community. Drawing on these two initiatives, JSTOR will soon launch a unique Jewish Studies collection, offering the full runs of key academic journals. Our intention over the coming years is to continue to build resources in this field to support research, teaching, and learning. we also seek to serve different communities of scholarship, from traditional higher education institutions to museums, theological seminaries and libraries. This presentation will report on findings learned through this pilot project on how readers of advanced Hebrew use digitized academic serials, provide an update on developing this resource to provide value to academic research libraries and other institutions, and invite librarians to participate in developing these resources further in JSTOR.

Increasingly, the day-to-day reality of current events in the Middle East is documented not in the pages of printed newspapers, but through Facebook postings, tweets, Smartphone photos, and other informal ephemera material. The UCLA Library received a $3.4 million grant to digitize, preserve, and provide broad public access to print items, images, multimedia, and social networking resources produced in the Middle East, to offer primary sources to students and scholars. Mr. Strong discusses the challenges and opportunities in working with new forms of social media and other primary sources in real time and with international partners including the National Library of Israel.

The Old Barn

You can make friends with an old barn. This one was built in 1906 by John Basye's great-grandfather on Beaver Marsh Road in the Skagit Valley, out in the flats where the wind is blowing and the soil is fertile.
You need to watch the video, which is only 90 seconds long, to get a picture of it. This Old Barn.
They're harvesting wheat right now -- farmers loving this hot, dry weather, good for harvesting wheat. Drought in Russia makes wheat scarcer, raises the price. They were looking at $4 a bushel, and some farmers sold their wheat this spring on the futures market at $4 a bushel -- often a smart move -- but not this year. It's gone up to $7 a bushel on the spot market because of the drought in Russia, causing a trading frenzy at the wheat pits in Chicago.
Our Skagit farmers grow wheat as a rotation crop, it's not how you make a living, like potatoes, or seed crops, or berries, but you grow wheat because you cannot grow potatoes every year. And this year at $7 a bushel, it doesn't hurt.
John Basye's barn is getting a new roof. He tore the old cedar shingles off and they can't be replaced. All the cedar has been logged in this territory, and good cedar for roofs would come from Canada at a very high price. Instead, the new roof will gleam with metal, which is a long-lasting material and has reflective qualities, brightening the sunshine and bouncing the rays back into the sky.
Metal roofs ping-ping the rain. It will be a different winter this year with a new metal roof. It will be louder.
Right now, the roof is off and the rafters are exposed to the weather -- for the first time in 100 years, seeing the sky, breathing and drying out in the heat of summer. You can hear the beams groan like arthritic grandfathers.
But this essay is not an exercise in nostalgia, not some hearkening back to the old days when the big trees were logged, and the stumps were blasted out with shovels and dynamite.
No, "This Old Barn" is about the future. You put a new roof on your barn because you're betting on the future. You're betting on one hundred more years of farming in the Skagit Valley, growing food for our children's children's children on broad, flat and fertile acres.
One hundred years from now we will need this barn. Of course, you never know, it's a flood plain. A big enough flood could float this barn away. And there's fire -- the old barn is built of wood. And it gets windy in the flats -- a really strong wind might damage the barn beyond repair.
But you bet on the future when you put on a new roof. There's no sure thing and where else can you put your money?

-- Robert Preidt
MONDAY, Feb. 20 (HealthDay News) -- Female cancer survivors are
more likely to smoke and have other unhealthy behaviors than women
who have never had cancer, a new study finds.
Researchers compared nearly 20,000 women ageD 35 and older with
no history of cancer to more than 2,700 female cancer survivors.
Both groups were undergoing mammography screening for breast
Cancer survivors aged 30 to 49 had higher rates of smoking than
women with no cancer history. Cancer survivors were also less
likely to engage in strenuous exercise, and were more likely to
rate their health as "poor."
Cancer survivors were less likely, however, to drink alcohol at
least once a month.
Body-mass index (a measure of body fat based on a person's
height and weight) did not differ between the two groups, but
cancer survivors reported less weight gain than the noncancer group
over the previous five years, according to study author Sarah
Rausch, a clinical psychologist and director of integrative
medicine at the Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa, Fla., and her
The study was published in a recent issue of the
American Journal of Clinical Oncology.
It's possible that women who have survived cancer could benefit
from programs to encourage them to adopt healthier habits, the
researchers said.
"The differences in health behaviors between cancer survivors and those with no cancer history afford a 'teachable moment' in which a cancer survivor may be motivated to change behaviors to promote a healthier lifestyle and prevent cancer recurrence," Rausch said in a Moffitt news release.
"As the population of cancer survivors increases, the importance of health status and quality of life of cancer survivors is even more critical," Rausch said. "Approximately 10.5 million people in the United States have been diagnosed with cancer. Because of the progress in cancer diagnosis and treatment, there is a growing population of cancer survivors."

Learning to play guitar is fun, but it can be frustrating as well. It's quite typical for new guitarists to see rapid progress in the beginning, but then the rate at which they improve tends to slow down somewhat. Reaching this plateau can be a frustrating time, and if you're feeling a bit stuck and want to learn to play guitar better, read on for some easy tips that should help to accelerate your progress.
First, if you're not already practising with a metronome regularly, you should begin doing so right away. Regular metronome practice can dramatically improve your rhythm skills, and will give your playing the kind of tightness and precision that's exhibited by the most skilled guitarists. Even if you think you already play perfectly in time, it is worth giving a metronome a try, as you'll probably be surprised to see just how much room for improvement there is, and how rapidly you do improve with regular metronome practice.
Secondly, it's very important to be patient. If you want to learn to play guitar fast, and develop into a brilliant virtuoso as quickly as possible, you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Playing the guitar is a complex skill that takes a lot of time and consistent practice to really master, and even then there's always room for improvement. So while it's a good thing to have goals, you shouldn't get so hung up on reaching a certain level with your playing that you don't enjoy your current achievements and the journey along the way. Ironically, by adopting a patient attitude, your progress will probably speed up because you're no longer sabotaging your own progress by trying to go too far too fast.
Lastly, you'll find you progress more quickly if you remain mindful of your playing as you practice. Really give your full attention to the sounds that you're producing, and the way in which you're holding your hands and body. Once you've got the absolute basics down, it's quite easy to just start playing on autopilot without really paying attention to what you're doing. Unfortunately, this kind of inattention can lead to the development of bad habits, which can stop you from progressing as quickly as you'd like. So instead, try to keep your attention focused in the moment and play as well as you can at all times. After all, there's not much point to practising every day if you're spending that practice time just repeating the same sloppy habits and mistakes over and over.
Keep the simple tips in mind, and hopefully your guitar playing will continue to improve as a result.

Obama's disastrous storm response overlooked
When Katrina hit, President George W. Bush was excoriated for not violating Federal Emergency Management Agency mandates and asking Louisiana for permission to enter the disaster zone. When Louisiana's Democratic governor, senators and New Orleans mayor would not respond, President Bush went in anyway with the relief columns. He got nothing but lies, exaggerations and name-calling for his efforts and accusations he wasn't around.

Why Microsoft Needs Intel's Haswell CPU
Mark is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Microsoft's (NASDAQ: MSFT) Surface Pro has arrived, to mixed reviews and criticisms of its weight and compromises. I expect this to change once Intel's (NASDAQ: INTC) next-generation processor, code-named Haswell, arrives later this year. Haswell will allow Surface Pro to be as light and compact as ARM processor tablets such as the Surface RT. It will also render Surface RT pointless.
A surprising lack of enthusiasm
I've actually been surprised by the critical response to the Surface Pro, which runs the Windows 8 Pro OS on the latest gen Intel Core processors (code named Ivy Bridge). This is the first genuine tablet to run a 64-bit OS, which means it's capable of just doing just about anything a desktop can do. Running Windows 8 also endows this Surface with the ability to run Windows 7 software, which Surface RT can't do.
Despite the critical reception, I expect Surface Pro to do far better than Surface RT, despite its higher price tag. According to IDC, only 900,000 Surface RT tablets were shipped in Q4 2012, giving it a worldwide tablet market share of 1.7%, behind the Barnes and Noble Nook, whose market share collapsed from 4.6% in Q4 2011 to 1.9% in Q4 2012. I believe the value proposition for the Surface Pro is much more compelling than for Surface RT. Surface Pro will appeal to the millions of Windows users who want a tablet, but not an iPad, which they consider merely a toy.
Surface Pro will join the growing ranks of Windows 8 tablets and Ultrabooks (all of which will be touchscreen-based from now on), which I expect to propel Windows 8 licensing in the coming quarters. Unlike RT, Windows 8 is off to a strong start, with over 60 million licenses sold as of Microsoft's earnings report on Jan. 24.
The multiplatform strategy
When Microsoft announced the Windows on ARM initiative at CES two years ago, it seemed like a good idea at the time: provide full Windows capability on devices as light and portable as iOS or Android tablets, which all use ARM processors. Here, I referring generically to any processor or SOC (System on Chip) that uses ARM technology. ARM Holdings (NASDAQ: ARMH) doesn't actually fabricate anything, but licenses low power processor designs to the likes of Samsung and Apple.
At the time of the CES announcement, Intel processors simply couldn't compete in this arena. Eventually, Windows on ARM was subsumed in Microsoft's overhaul of Windows, to make it a better-cross platform OS for tablets, phones and PCs. The company foresaw a future of ubiquitous touchscreens, and the result was three closely related operating systems: Windows 8 for Intel, Windows RT for ARM, and Windows Phone 8 for ARM-based smartphones. While the three provide much commonality of user experience, they couldn't be perfectly or completely converged, especially in the area of backward compatibility with existing Windows apps.
Overtaken by events
Often in the technology business, strategies that are based on an existing set of technologies become OBE'd (overtaken by events). Microsoft's platform strategy is a case in point. Here, Intel is the culprit.
Intel hasn't been idle these past two years, and has continued its strategy of shrinking chip sizes and power consumption. Intel's most advanced chip fabrication process is designated 22 nm, because that's the typical feature size in billionths of a meter. This is already smaller than the typical ARM processor, where the feature size is typically 28-32 nm, and Intel continues to refine their designs to incorporate more energy-saving abilities.
Haswell will be Intel's latest processor family to use the 22 nm process, but will be even more energy-efficient than previous generations, while at the same time being more computationally powerful. Most importantly, the Haswell core processor design is intended to be scalable for use in everything from handheld devices to servers.
With Haswell, Intel based tablets will be comparable to ARM tablets in power consumption and battery life, while being faster and more powerful. Imagine a Surface Pro with the Surface RT form factor, and you get the impact of Haswell. Intel is also widely expected to move the Atom embedded processor to the 22 nm process, which should enable even lower-power devices such as smartphones and "phablets." These new 22 nm SOCs will certainly get the benefit of Haswell innovations and be competitive with ARM processors in energy efficiency and battery life. These developments have the potential to put a dent in the growth of ARM-based tablets and smartphones -- and potentially in ARM's revenue stream from licenses -- as device makers are attracted to back to Wintel.
This means that the fundamental raison d'etre for Microsoft's ARM strategy goes away. Lately, I've been splashing a lot of cold water on expectations for Microsoft's ARM initiatives, both for tablets and phones. Nothing that happened last quarter by way of Windows Phone or Windows RT sales persuades me that the initiatives will be successful; in fact, their success or failure is starting to look moot. The ARM initiatives are about to be OBE'd by Intel's low power processors and SOCs.
Why fight the future?
Once Haswell arrives and finds its way into the next generation of Surface Pro, one has to ask whether there's any point to Surface RT. Given Intel's history of commoditizing processors, there probably won't even by a price advantage for Surface RT. I expect the current generation of Surface Pro to cannibalize Surface RT sales. Even if Surface RT manages to survive this, Haswell will almost certainly finish it off.
More importantly, Haswell provides for a truly converged and consistent user experience across platforms that the current combination of Windows 8/RT can only partially deliver. Looking a little past Haswell into the future, the arrival of 22 nm Intel SOCs for smartphones will further expand the reach of Windows 8. Given the economies of scale attendant with developing and maintaining a single OS that can address the smartphone, tablet and PC markets, it's hard to see how Windows RT and Windows Phone 8 survive, even if they do achieve a measure of success this year.
Given this future, the allocation of resources, development and marketing, to ARM-based devices seems misguided, doubly so given the lack of meaningful progress to date. Instead of fighting the last war for ARM-based mobile devices, Microsoft needs to prepare for the next war for ubiquitous, touch enabled commodity Intel devices, for which Windows 8 is a good start.

Boeing Delivers C-17 to Kuwait as Production Sunset Nears
Boeing delivered the first of an expected two C-17 Globemaster III airlifters to Kuwait on February 13, leaving the company's Long Beach, Calif., plant with 20 more jets to build before production ends.
In September, six days after delivering the 223rd and last C-17 for the U.S. Air Force, Boeing announced that it will close the Long Beach final assembly facility in 2015, affecting nearly 3,000 employees in Long Beach; Macon, Ga.; Mesa, Ariz.; and St. Louis. The company has said that it will deliver the remaining five of 10 C-17s India has ordered this year. It plans to build 15 more jets that do not yet have customers.
During a roundtable meeting with reporters last week at the Singapore Airshow, Chris Raymond, Boeing Defense, Space and Security vice president of business development and strategy, said the company is discussing possible further commitments from several current C-17 operators, as well as orders from up to four potential new customers. "We made the hard decision to close the line but to go ahead and protect a certain amount of additional production," he said. "When we made that decision for how many [airplanes] to protect, we put some logic behind that in terms of the countries and the quantities they had been talking about."
As of the delivery to the Kuwaiti Air Force, Boeing said it has delivered 260 of the rugged four-engine transports to U.S. and international customers. In addition to the C-17s it has built for the U.S. Air Force, the company has delivered 37 total aircraft to Kuwait, Australia, Canada, India, Qatar, UAE, the UK and the NATO Strategic Airlift Capability.
Boeing will continue to support the worldwide fleet as part of the C-17 Globemaster III Integrated Sustainment Program performance-based logistics agreement.

A 18-year-old woman and a 27-year-old man were arrested after police say they forced a 15-year-old girl into prostitution.
Phoenix police say they got a call from a 15-year-old girl saying she had been forced into prostitution. They met her at a fast food restaurant near Peoria and 35th Avenues on Thursday.
The girl told detectives she met Kiana Clark on a social networking website and Clark later allegedly convinced her to meet up at a hotel near 83rd
Avenue and McDowell Road.
After she got to the hotel, police say Clark introduced the girl to Marquel Watson.
According to officers, photos of Clark and the 15-year-old were taken and put in online ads.
Over the next two days, police say both Clark and the young girl participated in prostitution.
Watson allegedly received all of the proceeds from the sex acts.
The 15-year-old called her family on Thursday and told them she was being held against her will.
Police say both Watson and Clark made incriminating statements when they were interviewed.
Watson was booked into jail on two counts of sex trafficking and Clark was booked on sex trafficking and possession of dangerous drugs charges.

- Re-fired steakOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/20/2014My wife's steak came out rare. She asked for medium well. After she cut the steak, they took it back and re-fired the same steak. It came out correctly cooked however we felt many of the juices had run out. I thought a steak house of that caliber would have fired a new steak.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- yum!stephDined on 9/20/2014Steaks here never disappoint! The food, the service- everything is always wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable.Dining4funDined on 9/19/2014Very pleasant evening. Great service, good food, lively atmosphere. For a quieter, romantic evening ask for an alcove table.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Never dissapointsOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014The food and service are great as always! I truly enjoyed the evening and so did first time visitors that accompanied me.Special Features:
- Magical DinningGustaDined on 9/17/2014Restaurant was beautiful and elegant. Sever could of done a better job. As soon as he knew we were there for the Magical Dining Experience his attitude changed. There was not much to chose from the menu. The selection was soup or salad and filet or shrimp. Compared to the other restaurants, you can tell that the person that made the menu selection didn't put much elaboration. The soup didn't have shrimp. We mentioned it to our server and he didn't bother to change the soup. My filet was over cooked. The server didn't even bother to make it right. The manager didn't stop by our table to see how was our service or experience. Server made us feel like we didn't belong there. We won't go back to that particular location.Special Features:
- Excellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014Very nice atmosphere. Tables a little close together. Overall a very nice place to dine.Special Features:
- Great steak!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 9/13/2014Enjoyed our visit to Ruth's Chris using the Magical Dining special this month. My favorite steak at a discounted price.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Early DinnereattoliveDined on 9/13/2014We took a couple to dinner after one of our seminars and had to have an early dinner. The manager seated us even though we were 15 minutes earlier than they normally start seating. The wait staff was very friendly. Several of us chose the Classic menu which allowed us to have our salad and main dish with a vegetable and a dessert. Everything was delicious! This is a fairly pricey restaurant, so be prepared for your wallet to take a bit of a hit!Special Features:
- Ruth Chris Lake MaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/5/2014A wonderful experience. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Will long be remembered.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FantasticPVB2Dined on 9/1/2014Another great Ruth's Chris meal. It was Labor Day night so there were not a lot of people. The dinning room with its huge red chairs was very comfortable and also very attractive. A little St Supery wine, a strip steak, a filet and a couple of sides. Also the crab cake appetizer was excellent. Seems like every Ruth's Cris restaurant is different and the steaks can't be beat.Special Features:
- Always good.luluDined on 8/30/2014I have never had a bad meal at Ruth's Chris Steak House. The newer location in Lake Mary has a great vibe to it and feels very refreshing. Our service was wonderful.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Romantic EveningFoodIzRHobbyDined on 8/23/2014We have had the opportunity to dine at this Ruths Chris many times. The food is consistently good and the restaurant has a romantic ambience. The staff was attentive and friendly. Our server recommended the broiled tomato to be topped with parmesean cheese - delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant. We will return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- End to our vacationMickyDined on 8/17/2014The staff, service and food were amazing. This was my sons first steakhouse experience and he lived it.Special Features:
- Great RestaurantShrekieDined on 8/16/2014It is always an enjoyable experience to dine here. The food, the service and the ambience is a "cut above". My only complaint would be the disrespectful way that some of the guests dress when in a fine dining restaurant. Perhaps they should eat at a fast food joint instead.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/16/2014Outstanding food and service. Birthday celebration and was treated well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The Special Occasion Place!ssrelaxDined on 7/26/2014Everything was absolutely perfect from the rose petals on the table to dessert plates with "Happy 40th Anniversary" written in chocolate! Lori was an excellent server--very attentive, but not overly intrusive. Steaks cooked to perfection and extremely tender. Side dishes were wonderful and desserts spectacular. Highly recommend for your special occasions!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best steaksAmuraDined on 7/19/2014We were there in a group of 8 for dinner on a Saturday. We got there at 6:15 and it was great to be able to talk without all the noise and chaos that other restaurants have. Service was excellent.Special Features:
- Not greatSprtlvrDined on 7/18/2014Good, not great Seating for two in middle of main room makes for rather loud surroundings -- if you are a twosome, recommend you ask for the little recessed 'alcove' booths that line the room - definitely better seating around the outside of the main room. Service excellent. Food okay - filet was rather bland, surprisingly so - my date and I both reached for the salt immediately and concurrently, no seasoning should be required, imho. Sweet potato casserole was amazing, but little pricey of a dinner to have that as a highlight. I'll go back, but it's low on the rotation at this point. Eat a lot of filet cuts...probably least flavor of any in recent memory...and not that tender, actually had to work at cutting into it...odd.
- EnjoyedCheersDined on 7/12/2014Our reservation was for 7:15pm and we were seated early very impressed with how smooth it went Claude our waiter was very attentive , as was the rest of the staff . The food was very well prepared ,served hot and in a timely manner . We was celabrating our anniversary , but will come again for dining and drinks .Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Incredible Service and FoodJenPoDined on 7/6/2014When reserving, I made mention that we were celebrating our 5th anniversary. Upon arrival to our table, there were rose petals scattered on the tablecloth. A nice touch. I was greeted by name once the server arrived. She quickly got our drinks to us and promptly took our order. The food? Amazing. I had the petite filet and I dreaded taking that last bite knowing it was the end of goodness. After dinner we were told that we'd get a complimentary dessert. It came out with "Happy 5th Anniversary" on it. Another nice touch. Our server then came to our table with a camera, snapped our photo and then printed it out and gave it to us in a nice card. We've decided to make going to Ruth's Chris a tradition. They made us feel incredibly special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Perfect Anniversary DinnerFuntimefamilyDined on 6/21/2014My wife and I were celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary and were talked-into making the 40 minute drive to Ruth's Chris Steak House. We are both glad we did. I cannot say enough about the quality of the food and service. I had a large rib-eye and my wife had a filet; both were cooked perfectly and served piping hot. Our waiter, Adrian, was a delight. He was very warm, but professional and offered great suggestions from both the menu and wine lists. Our water glasses were never less than half-filled and fresh bread was delivered time and time again. The atmosphere was very comfortable, while still formal in setting. The staff arranged fresh rose petals on our table and even took a little pic of us to take home as a gift...PERFECTSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ShrekieDined on 6/19/2014As always, the Lake Mary store is a warm and friendly environment for upscale dining. The service is always first class and the menu offers excellent dishes at a fair price for the quality ingredients.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- The following 223 reviews are from the Ruth's Chris Steak House - Lake Mary reviews archive.
- Love this placeReddogDined on 5/25/2014This particular restaurant is one of their best! I have been to other Ruth's Chris and while they are always good, this one is especially good. The bar area is outstanding and very comfortable. The food is terrific. The dining room is very quiet -we actually could hear each other without raising our voices. The tables for 2 along the wall and housed in little covered coupoulas (sp?) are very intimate and romantic. Service is the best too. All-in-all, a great place to eat!Special Features:
- Mother's DayOrcsDined on 5/11/2014Even though it was Mother's Day the restaurant was full but not overcrowded. The staff was quick, friendly and efficient, and the Manager took time to come by our table to give my wife a rose for Mother's Day, and a coupon for our next visit which will be soon.Special Features:
- Mother's Day lunchRickyyDined on 5/11/2014Very nice for Mother's Day my wife very much enjoyed going to Ruth Chris for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Atmosphere!FoodieAshleyVIPDined on 5/7/2014This is the third Ruth's Chris I've been too - and I will be back! The atmosphere was unlike the others. Everything décor wise was completely top notch. I would easily venture to say the best décor in the Lake Mary area. The food was excellent, and they have a killer happy hour deal in the bar area! I can't wait to get back to this Ruth's Chris.Special Features:
- Great ambience and foodDanielVIPDined on 5/1/2014This is my favorite Ruth Chris location. I like the booths that are perfect for both a romantic evening or a business meeting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Noise level loud music.MarkDined on 4/26/2014The music from the bar was excessive. Our table was in the middle of the two entrance.. I will never sit at that location again. I will leave and go elsewhere if ever forced to sit there. Sea Bass over cooked steak requested Medium Rare my daughter had to send it back because it came out Rare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Special DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/8/2014My husband took me here, we have been here before, to celebrate my birthday. We checked in and went to bar to wait on our table. At the bar, we sat there at least 10 minutes before any of the 3 bar tenders waited on us, but not after waiting on others that came after us. That was disappointing. Then waited another 5 minutes before receiving our drinks. We had to go check at reservation our self to see if table was ready. Finally after 10 more minutes of waiting they came and got us, to our surprise the dining room was not busy, and many booths were open and we could have been seated early or on time. Our waiter was nice, but on many occasions, we found our self having to flag him down. Food was excellent. Service needs work.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best steak and lobster everOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/2/2014First of all the best steak i ever had in my life... I love the service, i love the atmosphere the different style of sitting for various occasions. valet parking fast and efficient. i love a place where everyone smiles when they greet you..or even when they are not looking... very clean place i cant wait to go back ..Thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Midwest beef rocks!DrJHADined on 3/22/2014One of only a few Florida restaurants that serves real Midwestern beef that was corn fed. Sea bass was also excellent with interesting piccata sauce. This is an expensive restaurant but the quality is excellent. Staff was sensitive and accommodating for food allergy.Special Features:
- Quiet but so goodTimmyVIPDined on 3/20/2014Had to pick a decent place to treat some of our family friends and this turned out to be a great choice. The food was great, the service was great. Strange tho, the restaurant is very quiet, maybe 5 tables were filled, otherwise the place was pretty empty and quiet. The food was still amazing, the steaks were great, the sides were great and the kids at the table couldn't get their hands off the calamari so its a great place for a date, a family dinner and to simply enjoy food.Special Features:
- Wedding AnniversaryACmanDeLandDined on 3/15/2014Nick and Brittny gave us over the top service without bothering us. This was a surprise for my wife who has never been to Ruth Chris before. My wife was blown away by the service, the ambience, the rose pedals on the table. She was enjoying every minute of it which is what our Wedding Anniversary is all about. The food was amazing.... Really can not come up with anything that would have improved the ocassion. My wife is already making future plans to go back with friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Gluten free menu needs revisionsCeliacRNDined on 3/8/2014I have dined here many times. The new corporate gluten free menu published in FEB 2014 needs many revisions. It is filled more with what you cannot have than what you can eat, and the pricing is not clear. Most things ordered gluten free were up charges. At least there were items in all areas that were GF...my husband also enjoyed all his selections. I did relay my corns and opinions to the MOD.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
