The Dell Venue 8 pro is a balanced, well designed PC companion device running the much-improved Windows 8.1, which has been optimized for such mini-tablets. The only thing holding it back is the lackluster Windows Store ecosystem.
If you've been reading along, I've already spelled out my general thoughts about this device, in turn, in Dell Venue 8 Pro: First Impressions and Screenshots, Dell Venue 8 Pro: What's Missing, and Dell Venue 8 Pro: What Dell Got Right. Between writing these posts over the past few weeks, I've been using the Dell in a variety of ways around home, though I've not yet traveled with it. And I've been comparing it to the some of the other mini-tablets I own, like the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX.
It's an interesting comparison. Like many of you, I've been waiting on a good Windows mini-tablet, and the only previous Windows mini-tablet, the Acer Iconia W3, is not that device thanks to its lackluster build quality and terrible screen. But how about the Dell Venue 8 Pro? Does this one finally measure up?
I think so, though there are clearly some issues—even major issues—that make this device a bit less interesting than its Android- and iOS-based competitors. But to understand how—or whether—the Venue 8 Pro is a viable contender, you need to consider many things.
First, start with Windows 8.1...
Microsoft has often described Windows as the most versatile software ever invented. And it's fair to say that Windows has been bent, folded and spindled to work in an amazing variety of scenarios, from embedded systems to traditional PCs to the biggest servers in the world. Windows withstood the netbook threat by getting smaller and lighter, and it is pushing into the smart phone and tablet markets as you read this.
But the real value of Windows, real Windows, the Windows you and I run on our PCs every day, is its versatility. This is a system that is not hard-coded or optimized for particular uses, but is rather an excellent general purpose platform that can do it all, and do it well. One of the reasons that so many have reacted negatively to Windows RT is that this system looks and feels like real Windows but is constrained in some areas that really matter.
Windows RT, of course, has its place. But in keeping with decades of tradition, Microsoft has now molded its traditional Windows product, real Windows, to work with a new and important type of personal computing device, the mini-tablet. In doing so, it has provided PC makers with a crucial piece of the puzzle, letting them create actual devices—that are sort of PCs, sort of not PCs—which provide the same power management and battery life advantages as Windows RT, but with the compatibility and performance that PC users have come to expect. The result is the ultimate hybrid, a weird Frankenstein's monster that really bridges the old and the new. In some ways, these mini-tablets are the ultimate expression of the Windows 8 vision.
... then use the right chipset
Of course, Windows mini-tablets can't even begin to make sense unless the underlying platform is viable as well. Last year's Intel Atom version, codenamed Clover Trail, probably would have been OK for this form factor, but this year's version, called Bay Trail, is much improved. In fact, I'm now curious about Bay Trail-based full-sized tablets and hybrid PCs. I suspect such a machine would be quite viable. (Where Clover Trail devices, alas, were not.)
Aside from basic performance, Bay Trail (like Clover Trail) is a system on a chip (SoC) design that, like ARM, can offer Connected Standby and the kind of power management one gets and expects from real devices. So it's more of an instant-on kind of thing, obviously, but it's also efficient when not in use, going into a sort of deep sleep during which it can also maintain heartbeat-like connections to online services, keeping everything updated.
And of course, a Windows mini-tablet isn't just the core chipset. And this where we need to move from the general to the specific. How does the Dell Venue 8 Pro stack up, as a device and as a PC?
The good, the bad and the ugly of the hardware
I wish I could say that Dell got everything right from a hardware perspective with the Venue 8 Pro, but they did at least get most everything right. A lot of it.
The device itself appears well made, similar in quality to the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX, both of which are smaller, with 7-inch screens. It has a sort of micro-dimpled back, which feels good in the hand, and it's not overly thick. It is a bit dense in the way that more and more digital gadgets are these days, but not overly heavy. Indeed, weighing it side-by-side in the hand with the Nexus 7 and HDX, the Venue 8 Pro doesn't appear all that heavier despite being bigger. (It is, of course, heavier, and weighs 395 grams, vs. 290 for the Nexus 7 and 307 for the HDX.) The weight distribution is similar across the three devices.
Dell Venue Pro, Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX (left to right)
Overall, performance is snappy. You can turn on the Venue 8 Pro using the Windows button—curiously located on the top of the device (where "top" assumes you are using it in portrait view, the default)—or the Power button, which is next to the two volume buttons on the right side (ditto). There is, however, a slight lag each time you rotate the display, which is common to Windows devices: The screen briefly gets smaller, then rotates. It takes about a second and a half, and I think the visual cue that it is happening adds to the sense of slowness.
Apps launch very quickly, and here the device holds up well, even against my Core i7-based desktop. In side-by-side app launching tests with a Surface 2, the Dell routinely won. Neither device is slow, per se—this isn't a repeat of last year's Clover Trail tests—but the Dell is the faster of two very speedy devices.
The screen is a bit of a wash, as in washed out: By default, Dell ships the Venue 8 Pro with the screen brightness set to "auto," and the results are dim and hard to view. But in disabling this feature and revealing the true beauty of the screen, which is considerable, I also discover why Dell configured the device this way. With screen brightness on auto, the Venue 8 Pro delivers about 8 hours of battery life in my streaming HD video tests. Set it to something more akin to what the Surface 2 delivers by default and the battery life in those same tests drops to a more middling 5 hours or so. That is a big difference, and while I'm sure there's a happy middle ground that could net, say, 6.5 or 7 hours of battery, it's also less than I had expected and hoped for.
UPDATE: Dell has released a software update that fixes the dim screen isssue noted above. Please check out 28 Days Later: Dell Venue 8 Pro for more information.
With the rest of the tablet market moving to "Retina"-class displays—that is, displays that are over 1080p in resolution—the Dell, like other Windows mini-tablets, is stuck in yesteryear's 1280 x 800 resolution. That's not actually horrible in practice-indeed, in testing the battery, I was quite taken by the sheer brilliance of the display in movies such as "The Avengers"—but you should at least know about this. The Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HDX both offer higher resolution 1920 x 1200 screens.
(I made the same observation about the 1024 x 768 iPad mini that Apple shipped last year and still sells. Yes, it's a fairly low-res screen for an 8-inch device. But it looks great in real life.)
Expandability is limited. The Venue 8 Pro offers micro-SD, which is crucial for those who wish to add lots of content to the device. But like the Acer Iconia W3, it only offers micro-USB, and not full-sized USB, necessitating an adapter to use USBs devices. And that adapter is not even included, which is unfortunate; even the terrible Acer includes such a thing. Further complicating matters, the Dell uses the micro-USB port for charging, so you can't charge and use a USB device simultaneously. Geesh. (Yes, there are adapters.)
Google Nexus 7, Amazon Kindle Fire HDX, Dell Venue 8 Pro (top to bottom)
And it has no hardware-based video out (like micro-HDMI), which is curious. Instead, Dell relies on Miracast wireless display, which I don't feel is appropriate as the only remote video possibility. HDMI is just so cheap and easy.
Dell doesn't include a stylus with the device by default, but you can buy a Dell Active Stylus during or after your purchase. My advice is to skip it: The stylus is not as useless as a capacitive pen, but offers nowhere near the performance or accuracy of a nice electromagnetic stylus like the Surface Pro Pen. Sadly, the Dell's screen is not compatible with better styli, like that Surface unit.
And then there's the software
Overall, the hardware is solid. There are some miscues but it's mostly workable. But it's the software that's problematic. Not Windows 8.1, per se, which is a great update to Microsoft's first stab at a "PC plus" operating system. This OS supports portrait mode and snap, even on this smaller screen, and it works well overall. No, Windows 8.1 is fine. It's the software you run—or want to run—on the Venue 8 Pro that holds it back.
The issue is two-fold.
First, the Windows Store ecosystem—the Metro-style apps that run only in Windows 8.x and Windows RT—has not yet taken off in an acceptable fashion, and those who are familiar with the bottomless app stores on Android and iOS will notice immediately that things are decidedly lacking on the Windows front. This is a very real and very serious problem, and while the basics are indeed there—you can rent movies from Xbox Video, and Xbox Music is serviceable, in my opinion—the chance that some app you need or want simply doesn't exist in Windows Store form is very, very likely.
Second, though the Venue 8 Pro can indeed run Windows desktop applications—opening up the possibility of using iTunes, Spotify, Pandora, Chrome, Photoshop Elements, or whatever—these applications are not exactly designed for an 8-inch touch screen. So they'll work, but if you're tapping away with your relatively ginormous fingertips, you'll misfire a lot. It gets frustrating.
The tiny on-screen desktop controls are too small to press with your finger
By comparison, the Nexus 7, Kindle Fire HDX and iPad mini are all backed by amazing, well-stocked ecosystems, huge apps stores with plenty of apps and games and superior content services. It's not Dell's fault, but the Windows world is currently a bit lacking. It just is.
Some will try to contort the Dell into something it's not. After all, you can add a Bluetooth-based keyboard and mouse, and it's like a tiny PC. You could use that terrible stylus to take terribly-written notes in OneNote. And the device does come with a free copy of Office 2013 Home & Student, so you should use that stuff, right?
I'm not so sure. I think the strength of the Dell Venue 8 Pro—really, the strength of any well-designed Windows mini-tablet—is that it provides a familiar Windows user experience on a different device type, on that is by definition a companion device and not one's primary computing interface. I don't think that classic Windows desktop applications work well here, but on the flipside, the lacking nature of the Windows Store ecosystem also means, sorry, that this companion device isn't much of a companion.
Obviously, everyone's needs are different. And the ability to at least run desktop applications means a smoother transition from old to new. But it's a big compromise.
The Dell Venue 8 Pro starts at $299 for a 32 GB unit, which is an excellent price given the $229 starting price for the smaller Amazon Kindle Fire HDX and Google Nexus 7, both of which come with 16 GB of storage and no micro-SD expansion. (Given the size of Windows 8, comparing a 32 GB Windows device to a 16 GB Android device is indeed absolutely fine.) It's the same price as the 8-inch, non-Retina iPad mini, which also features 16 GB of storage (non-expandable).
But price and value are two different things. And of these four devices, the Dell comes saddled with the weakest ecosystem support. So for now at least, unless you have very specific Windows-based needs, it's not clear that the Dell competes, value-wise, with these competitors.
Final thoughts
I really hoped to offer something definitive about this well-made device, to be able to issue some kind of a general recommendation that could stand up to deeper scrutiny. But the Dell Venue 8 Pro is a victim of the Windows Store interface and a few strange design decisions, and while some will take no issue with either, many will. And you need to be aware of the limitations.
I like this device quite a bit. It pretty much proves that a Windows mini-tablet can work, and work well. Can I recommend it? Not without caveats, and without a discussion of those ecosystem issues. But yes, this is a high-quality machine, and it has me wondering now about its bigger brother, the Dell Venue 11 Pro, which comes in a low-end version that features innards similar to the Venue 8 Pro.
I also has me wondering about competing Windows 8-based mini-tablets like the Lenovo Miix 2 and Toshiba Encore. Perhaps it's time to look at one of those next.

America's country cooking queen, Paula Deen, is currently the subject of a heated debate about language and second chances after she admitted to using the N-word. Deen apologized on the Today Show last week, but she also stated that people say things they don't mean sometimes. And then she made a serious mistake by announcing after her apology: "I is what I is. And I'm not changing."
The Food Network, Smithfield Foods, Caeser's Entertainment, Walmart, Target, Sears and Kmart all announced that they will no longer be carrying Paula Deen cookware or any other products due to her recent admission. Why wasn't Deen's apology enough to save her public image and career?
Many say Deen was focused too much on her own feelings instead of the feelings of the people that she hurt. But the greatest criticism of Deen centered upon the statement: "I is what I is. And I'm not changing." These words hit a raw nerve because Deen didn't take responsibility for her speech, and she declared her unwillingness to even try to change.
We all say things at times that we don't mean, but what do we do after we realize we have made a mistake? Can we really change?
Many years ago, my grandfather built up a clothing business with his brother. They started by selling shirts from pushcarts on the Lower East Side and eventually they owned a big store in Manhattan. One day after years of working side by side, my grandfather's brother turned on him. I never really knew what was said or why. Grandpa never liked to talk about it, but from that day on the brothers stopped speaking to each other. Grandpa took his share of the business and his brother kept the store. My grandfather never saw his nephews again who had been like sons to him. The families stopped inviting each other to their celebrations and avoided mentioning each other's names. By the time I was old enough to hear the story, there was a huge branch of my family tree that had basically been cut off forever.
Sometimes I used to ask Grandpa why he didn't try to call his brother and try to repair what was broken. "He'll never change. Too stubborn to say he's sorry. What's the difference? What's gone is gone," my Grandpa would say.
A year before my grandfather passed away he shocked all of us by going to visit his brother who was in a nursing home. It had been more than 40 years since they had seen each other and as soon as my grandfather's brother saw him, he grabbed his hand.
"You were right. I'm sorry. I should have never done what I did," he told my grandfather.
Afterwards Grandpa didn't really want to talk about it nor did he ever see his brother again. But I saw tears fill his eyes when he told me, "He finally said he was sorry. Too late now. But he changed. He said he was sorry."
We can repair what we've destroyed. It starts by taking responsibility.
I thought about all those lost years that could never be replaced. The holidays and the bar mitzvahs and the weddings. The separate lives and the families torn apart. It took illness and age to finally prod my grandfather's brother to face the truth inside of himself and to genuinely apologize. It may have been long overdue but he reached out his hand and pushed past his own stubbornness and pride, and did it. He changed.
We should never give up on ourselves by saying, "I is who I is. And I'm not changing." We can overcome the limitations of our pasts, faulty attitudes and the habits of our speech. It doesn't happen overnight, and it's not easy, but it's something we all should strive for.
Paula Deen lost an enormous amount of her life work – not because she made a mistake, but because she wasn't willing to take responsibility for what she did. It is hard to admit when we are wrong. It is hard to reach out and say, "You were right. I'm sorry." While we still have the chance, even if years have passed, we can repair what we've destroyed. We can change how we speak and how we act.
It starts by taking responsibility. Maybe we need to love as if we are dying. Maybe we need to speak as if we are running out of time. Maybe we need to reach as if we are grasping for air itself. For that is what we need to do to really change. We need to want it as much as we want to breathe. Two elderly brothers reached out to each other, even for just a moment, and rebuilt what had been destroyed with those two words: I'm sorry.

Oklahoma City-based Selexys Pharmaceuticals completes first-phase testing on sickle cell drug
Oklahoma City's Selexys Pharmaceuticals biopharmaceutical company announced Monday that the drug it has developed to treat sickle cell anemia was successful in its first phase of human testing.Published: Wednesday, December 21, 2011 6:00 am By: Paula Burkes
Oklahoma City's Selexys Pharmaceuticals biopharmaceutical company announced Monday that the drug it has developed to treat sickle cell anemia was successful in its first phase of human testing.
A single dose, at 5 milligrams per kilogram of body weight, was found to prevent for up to one month the blocking of red blood cells the genetic mutation that occurs in sickle cell patients, causing painful crises that can lead to heart attack, stroke and lung blockage.
So far, we've seen no side effects or reaction to the drug in patients, said Scott Rollins, Selexys president and chief executive. It really looks good.
Done in November, the trial involved 27 healthy volunteers of various ages and races, whose blood periodically was tested after they were given a placebo or various doses of the drug. Phase II will include 100 patients with the disease, Rollins said.
About 90,000 Americans, mostly blacks, have sickle cell, he said. The average age of survival is 40, and about 70 percent go untreated. The only applied therapy is several daily pills of an old, toxic chemotherapy drug that causes overproduction of one of the two types of hemoglobin, but only about 30 percent of patients respond and tolerate it, he said.
The prospective treatment a mouse antibody genetically engineered to look like a human antibody was discovered by Rodger McEver, head of cardiovascular biology at Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation, and manufactured by Cytovance Biologics in Oklahoma City.
The drug has been given orphan drug designation by the Food and Drug Administration for its potentially safe and effective treatment of a rare disorder. That means when the drug is publicly launched which Rollins guesses will be in five years Selexys will be awarded exclusive sales rights for 10 years.
Cytovance President Darren Head said his company is strongly committed to Selexys. It's an outstanding medical program, and we're excited to work on such an unmet need such as sickle cell treatment, he said. It took 18 months to develop the drug, Head said.
Selexys has $18 million in grant and venture capital money for the sickle cell drug.

Phimai, ThailandKirsty Turner
Part of Nakhon Ratchasima Province to the north of Thailand, Phimai is a great place to visit for those with a keen interest in history and culture, and the small town also has some beautiful nature spots in which to enjoy a picnic and relax for a while away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Most visitors are draw to Phimai by the Phimai Historical Park, which contains a large number of temples and ruins to explore including the beautiful Khmer temple of Prasat Phimai. Don't forget to check out to informative Phimai National Museum in order to learn more about the temples and to discover some rare temple artefacts.
Nearby, the brick chedi of Meru Boromathat and the Pratu Chai – victory gate – are just waiting to be discovered, whilst on an island in the middle of a large reservoir the Sai Ngam (Beautiful Banyan) draws Buddhists from all over the world. You can take a rowing boat out onto the reservoir for a closer look at the sacred tree. Whilst there, don't forget to pay a visit to the interesting Tha Nang Sa Phom – which is an ancient and intricately decorated landing platform.
Nakhon Ratchasima Province is famous for its unique and beautiful pottery, and a good place to see it is at the Dan Kwian pottery village, where you can still see craftsmen creating the Thai ceramics.
Another famous skill from the north of Thailand is silk weaving, and visitors can go to the Pak Thong Chai silk weaving village, which is very close to Phimai. Here, the weaving looms are still being put to good use today, creating beautifully shimmering Thai silk, which is then dyed in a dazzling array of colours and made into a wide range of products for people to buy as souvenirs.
In November, Phimai celebrates with the Phimai Festival. This is a good opportunity to experience the traditional folk songs, dancing and theatre of the region as well as sample the many delicious dishes and sweets.

WOL Proxies
Wake on LAN proxies – wake up remote PCs without using directed broadcasts.
Auto Shutdown Manager supports so-called directed broadcasts to wake up PCs in remote IP segments or VLANs. However, in some situations, you can't or don't want to use the directed broadcast technology. In this case, a WoL Proxy comes into play.
A WoL Proxy is a PC running the Auto Shutdown Manager client or an Java supported device such as the Raspberry Pi running the Java based WoL proxy. It should be configured to run for 24/7. Ideally, this is a server PC that would run 24/7 anyway or, alternatively, a low-power PC that runs at the remote site.

Movin' on up
ST. PETERSBURG — Am I alone in thinking it's time to slide Adam Lind up the batting order? Blue Jays skip Cito Gaston moved Lind up to the seventh hole again on Sunday, but I think it'd make sense to promot the youngster to the second spot.
Since being called up upon Gaston's arrival, all Lind has done is hit .338 (22-for-65) with four homers and 17 RBIs in 19 games. Shoot, he's hit as many long balls as Alex Rios in about a fifth of the at-bats. The way things are going, Lind may lead the whole stinkin' team in homers when it's all said and done.
"I want to see how he handles that sort of thing," Gaston said about moving Lind higher in the order. "I think he can handle it. It's not the first time. Who knows? This kid might end up being a four-place hitter. Let's just take it a little bit at a time."
On another note, Gaston wouldn't go as far as saying Gregg Zaun was now the "backup" behind the plate, but the manager said he believes Rod Barajas has earned the right to have more playing time. Funny enough, they each had an 0-for-13 slump entering Sunday's game against the Rays.

I can't believe how bad Stairs is right now….wait (actually I can). I would have released Stairs and picked up Sexson to use for the rest of the season.
freedom, although I agree with your analysis of Stairs, going from Stairs to Sexton is going from the frying pan to the fire. Stairs is loosing it-Sexton lost it a year or two ago.
gsumner, I also agree with you on your analysys of sexson, but since we are not contending anyway and sexson would be our DH, maybe a change in scenery might be a good thing for sexson. Anyway the Yankees must of saw potential in him, after all they are still in contention.
Adam Loewens pitchen career is over he is going to reinvent himself as an outfielder and first baseman rather than opt for surgery and be out for a year and a half.
Find story in trade rumors.
freedom, I'd rather see us bring up a kid from the minor leagues, we'd have more than our share of old has beens over the last 2 years, none of them have worked out.
Sexton probably won't work out for the Yanks any more than he did for Seattle, although sometimes the yank uniform is magic.
Nice game by Rios, 1 hr and 2 doubles, 3 rbi's-maybe the real Alex Rios has returned. Great game by the pen.
gsumner, I wish I could agree with you about Rios, but thats what we said about every player every time we scored a few more runs than we normaly do.
freedom if you have stairs or sexson in a normal 12 team mixed league then I suggest you drop them BOTH…i am 100% sure that you will have better players available than any of them. Cody Ross perhaps, or some people still haven't picked up Milton Bradley, check for aaron rowand or james looney, matt kemp, troy glaus, and even evan longoria, jermey hermidia there are tons of players probably out there that are much better than them and will probably give you some speed too.
oops i thought you were talking about a fantasy team…man i just guess i didn't read…i feel stupid now
OH btw rios was performing well after Cito came in, before he left for his baby too so I think he is regaining it bit by bit…but it still might be too early to tell
I turned the game back on in the 6th inn. and if this team hits in the future like they did today they might still save JPs job,To bad.
Frank Thomas was no easy replacement at DH. Maybe he wouldn't have got injured if he stayed with the Jays? Probably not.
At least we don't have to be looking at a guy that is 15+ homers this year and think about what could have been. Stairs is a fine player, but everyone who said he would be a easy replacement for Thomas, wasn't thinking straight.
I agree on frank Thomas now it's like paying Stairs an extra 8 mill to be the Jays DH.
The way Stairs was playing when we dropped Thomas, he would've been a great replacement for him. But nothing goes our way so now Stairs is really bad. I would've still made the move though because I wouldn't have wanted to deal with Thomas for a whole nother year.
If Stairs picks it up soon he can sure help this team but I think he has lost some bat speed this year,He is getting to old.
Well stairs is getting older and its about time he came back to Earth and hit like he was supposed to…I still think the seasons over no matter wat the jays do (because i know they aren't going to play .750 ball).
What draft position should the jays get for next draft and who do you think are the top key markee guys in the next draft? is it deep, shallow, fine line between good and mediocre players?
I heard the draft was thin this year.
Harry-the first pick we get is determined by our finishing position in reverse, meaning the lower we finish the earlier we draft.
We could end up with multiple first round or sandwich picks, since it's likely we will loose a number of free agents such as:
AJ Burnett
Brad Wilkerson
Shannon Stewart
Greg Zaun
Rod Barajas
David Eckstein
Kevin Mench
For some of these guys we get two draft picks ( AJ for sure), so we could get a minimum of 8 sandwich picks ( I believe). This is similar to the number we had in 2007 which is the best draft we've had for a long time.
What I would hope is we draft potenial high ceiling high school kids, who take longer to get up here but might give us a stronger player.
Well AJ gives us 2 first round picks
do all of them give us first round sandwich picks too? because i doubt wilkerson, mench, stewart should bring first rounders. Another thing what if the player fails to sign with another team do we still get a pick? Like onceagain stewart, wilkerson and mench prolly won't sign with a team next year….no one wants them.?
Harry, if I'm not mistaking we get a first rounder and sandwich pick for AJ and all the others are sandwich picks-but I'm not sure. If they don't sign with another team, we won't get a pick. I think they'll all sign with someone, they just won't make the dough they made with us.
Jordan-do you know how the draft rules work on free agents and sandwich picks/first round picks?
Read trade rumors the yankees might be looking at Burnett,They had scouts at the Tampa game he pitched in and they never stayed for the rest of the series just his game.
even if it isnt true, its a good rumor to get others interested
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants traded second baseman Ray Durham to the Milwaukee Brewers for two minor leaguers after the teams played Sunday.
San Francisco received left-hander Steve Hammond and outfielder Darren Ford for the second baseman.
Brewers manager Ned Yost wouldn't go into specifics but said: "We're focused on which direction were going. We do know what we're trying to do. We just play baseball. We're excited. We're excited about the prospects."
***As I have posted before, the Brewers are going for it and are very prepared to trade prospects. They're still looking for bullpen help-a closer and a Lh reliever. We could do a superb deal with them right now for Escobar and Gamel, as long as JP actually tries and makes a call.
Go back to trade rumors where it says Yankees eyeing Burnett and click on had a guy watchin him it might intrest you.
the thing of interest is if they had multiple scouts in the stadium. If it's handled right, we might have a bidding contest for AJ.
The Cubs and New York not bad I hope it's the Cubs because everytime we trade in our divison they allways come back and kill us.
I'm just not sure what either the Cubs or Yanks could offer. Their cupboard is pretty bare in AAA and AA.
they might go for quantity if they dono't offer much and I was suprised Milaukee is still trading away their prospects…I am sure they expcent ben sheets and CC Sabathia to walk away then…so they get 4 more 1st rounders
Your right about their cupboards being bare so that means if JP makes a trade and I said if we will get nothing in return,and he can't afford to make any more mistakes,I think I would keep him and get the two draft choices,and hope it's not JP doing the pickin.
Harry, I'm not surprised at Milwaukee. It's the first time for a long time, they have a chance to go all the way. If they didn't make these moves, they'd be silly.
That's also why I think they'd move Escobar and Gamel for the right kind of offer-like Ryan and Tallet.
Garry-Maybe the Dodgers will offer more-or maybe NY would consider Robinson Cano. With that many scouts in the stands, we should ge a good offer-if we don't we do get two draft choices.
All i am afraid of is JP trading for something lower than 2 first round draft choice ppl…knowing him he might go for 4 prospects choosen in the 2nd round and thats is worse than 2 1st round prospects.
Mike Willmar is with you rather than get 4 or 5 B prospects It's better to let him opt out, but if we can get 2 or 3 quality players or prospects by all means trade him.
harry-I wouldn't be so set on where they were picked, but instead how they're performing. Not many of the guys we have drafted in the first round are on the Jays team.
Garry-we wont get two or three quality players for Burnett-Wilner-as always, is full of himself with that suggestion. However, we could get two quality prospects, which to me are more vaulable than two draft choices.
Let's hope its the Dodgers, they have some nice pitching talent in their AA team. I'd be REALLY happy getting James McDonanld and either Kershaw or Castillo for Burnett and throw in Eckstein as a bonus.
I can't think of any team that will give up two quality prospects for Burnett.
I'm predicting a sweep against Baltimore…just a feeling.
I was looking at potential free agents this offseason and their are alot of intriquing names available. I think if I could add one guy though it would be Manny Ramirez to be our DH. Anybody know how much money the Jays will have to spend this offseason ? Bosox, do you think there is any chance Boston will not excercise his option ? They can always replace him with Vlad Guerrero or Bobby Abreau.
Imagine the lineup:
Barajas or one of the catchers of the future.
Insert acquired shortstop here.
They'd still need a more typical leadoff guy but suddenly that line-up's not so bad. Really if they add any of the big fish (Guerrero, Bobby, Thome, Teixera etc.) things look more rosey. They're not all DH's but if they were to sign Guerrero they can always move Lind to DH.
Don't forget too that historically Wells has had his best seasons with protection so this can make him better too. Before anyone calls it a dream, i have to say that I did think about as I was falling asleep lol.
A few of Torontos players will be getting a raise because of contracts that are heavily loaded on the back end so even with the 8 mil. you save on Thomas and The 1.8 mil. you save on Glaus it is not enough to cover the raises.
And yes I would love to see Ramirez come here we just have to put a door in the fence in left in case he wants to have a leak.lol

Jones to get back on the mound soon
Scott Merkin is a reporter for MLB.com. Read his blog, Merk's Works, and follow him on Twitter @scottmerkin.
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- As expected, Nate Jones returned to working out on Wednesday. The right-handed reliever and closer candidate had been shut down since the first day of camp because of a moderate left glute strain.
Manager Robin Ventura believes a return to the mound for Jones could come soon.
"He's getting a little better," said Ventura of Jones. "We are probably looking at having him start throwing in the next couple of days to be able to see how it feels. He's feeling much better and doing fine."

Wordless Wednesday - Flowers Anyone?
Saturday was May Day. We made some baskets for the neighbors using a neat template I found on Skip To My Lou. My daughter enjoyed running to the door, hanging the basket on the knob and running away. Turns out, we especially helped cheer up one of our neighbors. The day before we brought the flowers, she broke her foot. After all the smiles and thankful comments we received, we will be making this a yearly tradition.
My preschool daughter also decided she wanted to do something special for her teacher for Teacher Appreciation week. She loves to paint and painted this "Teachers help children BLOOM" picture. The only thing I helped with was painting the words. Seems we're spreading lots of cheer with flowers this week!

By Steven A. Morelli
The future for insurance wholesalers is to stop seeing themselves as the processor between insurance company and advisors and step into the full-service role that some carriers used to occupy, according to a speaker at a NAILBA session on Friday.
Successful brokerage general agencies (BGAs) and independent marketing organizations (IMOs) are trying to solve the advisor shortage problem by doing what many insurance companies used to do, said Richard Weber, president of The Ethical Edge, a financial planning and insurance agency that Weber also describes as an insurance fiduciary.
"Today's BGAs and IMOs are yesterday's behemoth insurance companies that had legions of agents selling their policies," Weber said. "So the behemoths by and large don't train any longer. They don't recruit from the colleges."
Weber is giving a BGA-only presentation on The Ethics of Selling Indexed Products at the National Association of Independent Life Brokerage Agencies' annual meeting. He spoke about BGA- and industry-related issues with InsuranceNewsNet before the session. Weber is also the president of the Society of Financial Service Professionals.
As carriers retreat from the agent caretaker role and producers become scarce, the BGAs' role is expanding to fill the vacuum – or the most successful ones are, Weber said.
"The smarter BGAs that are focusing on the future are offering training," he said, adding that they are also offering advanced planning services. But they are also taking on another dimension, one dear to Weber. "They're taking ethical positions with respect to business they'll accept and business they won't accept."
The high ground isn't just in what business they will take but how they do business.
"They're starting to realize that they have to be able to offer more than just a basis point higher commission in order to get my business," Weber said. "In fact, I'm very leery of the BGA or IMO that's offering the absolute top possible commission level, because I know that I'll get cash but I'm not going to get anything else."
Advisors need guidance and information in order to grow their business. If they don't get that from BGAs, their options are limited. It is important enough that advisors would even trade a little bit of the compensation for more direction.
"At this point in my career, I'm happy to pay for this BGA to hold meaningful seminars on new product developments, new applications of products or emerging issues that consumers are facing. Ten to twenty years from now we're going to see BGAs taking up the best things that insurance companies of 30 years ago did, which was recruiting, training, nurturing and mentoring."
How big could BGAs get? Weber said he sees some taking slots in the top 25 companies with tens of thousands of advisors, especially if they break out of their regions and go national.
"I think the BGAs are going to be the new behemoth insurance companies."
Steven A. Morelli is editor-in-chief for InsuranceNewsNet. He has more than 25 years of experience as a reporter and editor for newspapers, magazines and insurance periodicals. He was also vice president of communications for an insurance agents' association. Steve can be reached at email@example.com.

Guinea pigs have adapted well to our average domestic room temperatures. However, they do not handle higher temperatures and humidity well. Be sure to keep the cage out of direct sunlight and away from vents. Do not house your guinea pig in a glass tank. If you take your pig outside, remember that they are more sensitive to heat & humidity than you are; they can easily suffer from heat stroke very quickly, which may result in death. Alternatively, they should also not be kept in drafty and chilly areas. Avoid damp areas as well.
Guinea pigs are rodents, whose ancestors are originally from South America. The guinea pigs found today in the wilds of Columbia, Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Paraguay are very similar to our domesticated guinea pigs, but not exactly the same. Guinea pigs have been and still are used for food in South America. In the wild, they live in colonies that travel through tunnels trampled in tall grasses.
Guinea pigs have full, rounded bodies; short, floppy ears, stubby legs and no tail. There are MANY colors and breeds, but most types fall into three main breeds: English/Common (smooth coat, straight hair), Peruvian (long, silky hair) and Abyssinian (rough, wiry hair in whirls and twists). Guinea pigs have hair like a human, not fur like a rabbit. Guinea pigs have several methods of verbal communication. Purrs, whistles, squeals and chatters are amongst their extensive "vocabulary". Adults will coo at each other and many will squeal when the refrigerator door opens - in hopes of a treat. The chatter (with teeth grinding) is a warning signal; this means piggy is angry.
Guinea pigs are social creatures that prefer to live in pairs or groups. It is always easiest to buy siblings together at the same time (never mix males and females - females can mature enough to breed earlier than 6 weeks), but it is possible to slowly introduce guinea pigs from separate sources to each other. Each guinea pig has his/her own personality, so there is no guarantee any pair will get along together. Guinea pigs make an excellent pet for a responsible child. They sit well on a lap and will not dart or bolt while being held. However, children must always be taught how to hold a guinea pig correctly and should never be left unsupervised with a pet.
Vegetarians / Grain eaters (Herbivores) Commercially prepared timothy hay based guinea pig diets are available at all pet stores. A good quality plain pellet diet is best, as they offer a complete balanced diet. Diets that include seeds and treats seem to be nicer for your pet, but many guinea pigs will only pick out the treats and not eat the pellets. This may result in obesity and malnutrition. Also, seeds can upset the delicate balance of the guinea's gastro-intestinal tract, causing gas and discomfort. Corn can cause blockages. Feed ¼ cup to ½ cup pellets that are 18-20% protein and 10-16% fiber. Do not feed alfalfa hay based pellets. These contain too much protein.
Just like humans, guinea pigs are incapable of manufacturing vitamin C in their own bodies. Therefore, it is imperative that they receive supplemental vitamin C in their daily diet. Most guinea pig pellets contain vitamin C, however, be careful to use the pellet food within 90 days of the manufactured date. Vitamin C is water soluble and very unstable, so after 90 days, it is generally useless. It is also a good idea to refrigerate your bag of guinea pig diet. Guinea pigs should also receive a guinea pig vitamin C supplement daily. Do not use vitamin supplements that are added to the water bottle. Due to the instability of the vitamin, it will not be effective. Also, guinea pigs are very picky, and changes in food and water tastes are not often welcomed or well tolerated.
FRESH FOODS: Healthy, fresh fruits and vegetables can also be fed to your guinea pig. Offer these treats in small amounts, as they may cause diarrhea if fed in too great amounts. Broccoli tops, carrots, green beans, sweet peppers, parsley, dandelion greens, apples and pears are good choices. Fresh foods that contain good amounts of vitamin C for your guinea pig are: orange slices, cabbage, kale, sweet peppers and spinach If you find that your guinea pig develops loose stools or diarrhea, you are probably feeding too much fresh food. If the diarrhea continues after reducing fresh food, see your exotic pet veterinarian. BE SURE TO WASH FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES THOROUGHLY BEFORE FEEDING THEM TO YOUR PET!!!
** Please avoid feeding sugary treats such as yogurt drops or honey sticks to your guinea pig. These treats contain far too much sugar and can cause several health issues such as diabetes.
A vitamin C supplement manufactured for guinea pigs is a must as a daily supplement. See your exotic pet veterinarian for a good supplement and the proper dosage for your pig.
Clean, fresh chlorine-free water must always be available. Change it daily. All water given must be 100% free of chlorine and heavy metals. (Not all home water filtration systems remove 100% of the chlorine and heavy metals from tap water). We recommend that you use unflavored bottled drinking water or bottled natural spring water; never use untreated tap water. If tap water is used, you should treat it with a de-chlorinating treatment. De-chlorinator is available in the fish department. If you do not want to chemically de-chlorinate the water, you can leave an open container of tap water out for at least 24 hours. Do not use distilled water, which can cause severe medical problems, since it lacks minerals that are essential to important body functions.
|Wire sided cage at least 40 x 20 x 20 in size. Do not choose a cage with a wire bottom; only solid floored cages are appropriate.
|Pelleted, timothy based commercial guinea pig food & timothy hay, orchard grass, botanical hay or any combination. No alfalfa hay.
|Several toys - chewable wood and cardboard.
|Shredded aspen bedding, "Carefresh", or newspaper for the bottom of the tank.
|Hide houses - wooden or cardboard.
|Vitamin C supplements.
|Water bottle.
|Heavy ceramic crock food bowl.
A wire-sided cage measuring at least 40L" x 20W" x 20H" is a good size cage for one or two guinea pigs. Be sure the cage has good ventilation. GLASS ENCLOSURES SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR GUINEA PIGS; they are highly susceptible to heat stroke and glass cages hold in too much heat and humidity for a guinea pig. Do not buy a cage with a wire floor; this will result in foot injuries and a condition known as "bumble-foot". Cages should have a solid plastic bottom, for safety and for ease of cleaning.
HIDE HOUSE: The hide house is extremely important to the guinea pig. Guinea pigs are very shy creatures with a strong flight instinct. It is very important to supply them with a protected place to hide.
WATER BOTTLE: A full water bottle must be available at all times, refill it daily. Be sure to clean out the inside of the bottle thoroughly during the more intensive cage cleaning sessions every week. Water bottles will often become slimy inside, which will in turn harbor harmful bacteria. Clean the bottle thoroughly with a mild bleach solution. Be sure to rinse the bottle extremely well after the cleaning to ensure no bleach is left behind! Your pet will most likely chew a bottle inside the cage, so be sure to attach the bottle to the OUTSIDE of the cage. Check the straw daily for any blockages to make sure your pet always has access to the fresh water. If you cannot place the bottle on the outside of the cage, purchase a metal water bottle guard. This will keep him or her from getting to the bottle.
BEDDING: We recommend an aspen bedding or soft recycled newspaper bedding such as "Carefresh". Neither of these choices will cause allergic reactions or respiratory distress and it is easy to clean. DO NOT use cedar chips, as they contain dangerous phenols, which are toxic to your pet. Place enough bedding in the cage so your pet can happily tunnel underneath it. Spot clean your pet's cage daily by simply removing the soiled portions of bedding.
TOYS: Several types of toys should be available for your guinea pig. Chewing toys such as wooden small mammal toys (available at the pet store), hide houses, cardboard boxes, paper towel tubes and untreated fruit tree branches are all excellent toys for your pig. Guinea pigs MUST chew constantly in order to wear their teeth down, which grow on a continual basis. Therefore, toys that allow the pig to chew and wear those teeth down are invaluable. Stick to toys bought at the pet store, as these are generally made of pet-safe materials. Pesticide-free, dried fruit tree braches can be offered, such as apple and pear, but be absolutely sure they are pesticide free. Also, also wash them well with water and friction before offering them to your pet.
Daily maintenance should consist of spot cleaning by removing soiled substrate, cleaning water bowl thoroughly and wiping glass clean.
The entire cage should be cleaned thoroughly at least once every week with:
It is not necessary to clean or bathe your guinea pig. They are extremely neat and will groom themselves! If it seems as if your pig has not been grooming him or herself, he may be ill. Contact your exotic pet veterinarian. Regular nail trims will be necessary.
Healthy guinea pigs have a rounded, full body and smooth, even fur with no bald patches. The nostrils, rump area, under-chin area, ears and eyes should be clear and free of discharge - fur should not be damp or stained in any way. Your pet should have bright eyes; teeth should be even and well aligned with no staining around the chin; breathing should be even and not labored, with no wheezing or gurgling sounds. Healthy guinea pigs are energetic and alert.

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, May 11 (UPI) -- A Swedish pharmacy chain said its survey indicates one in three women in the country have declined sex due to fears of flatulence during the act.
Pharmacy chain Kronan said the survey, carried out by research company Novus, indicates about one in three Swedish women have passed up intercourse because their stomachs indicated gas release was on the horizon, The Local reported Friday.
The company said only about one in six men had said no to sex as a result of flatulence concerns.
However, the survey found half of respondents of both sexes said they had no problem passing gas in front of a significant other.

5 businesses Rupert Murdoch loved and lostJuly 16, 2014: 1:17 PM ET
Rupert Murdoch has bought and sold more companies than anyone can remember on his way to building a vast media empire. But not all of those companies have stood the test of time.
Murdoch sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry Wednesday after 21st Century Fox (FOXA) disclosed that it had offered to buy Time Warner for the premium price of $85 billion.
Time Warner (TWX), which owns CNN and CNNMoney, rejected the offer. Fox said it's no longer in talks, but there's rampant speculation that Time Warner is now in play.
Murdoch has a reputation for not taking no for an answer. In 2007, he pushed hard to take over the Wall Street Journal publisher Dow Jones from the family that owned it. He eventually got his way. Dow Jones is now part of News Corp. (NWSA) -- which Fox split off from in 2013. (Murdoch controls both companies.)
But the octogenarian tycoon has also been known to obsess over certain assets, only to sell them at a later date when something more exciting comes along.
Here are 5 of Murdoch's "old flames":
MySpace: Before there was Facebook (FB), there was MySpace. News Corp. bought Intermix Media, which owned the early social network, for $580 million in 2005. Six years later, News Corp sold MySpace for just $35 million.
DirecTV: Before AT&T (T) recently announced plans to buy the satellite giant, there was a time when media tycoons fought over it too. Murdoch offered to buy DirecTV (DTV) for $8 billion in 2001. He was rebuffed, but he ended up taking a 34% stake in 2003. Murdoch eventually agreed to swap his stake in DirecTV with rival media mogul John Malone, who had a significant interest in News Corp at the time.
Los Angeles Dodgers: Fox bought the Dodgers for $311 million from the O'Malley family in 1998. Murdoch sold the team for $450 million to Frank McCourt, a Boston-based property developer, in 2003. The team went bankrupt in 2011 and was sold to an investment firm last year.
TV Guide: Remember when you needed a magazine to know what was on TV? In 1988, News Corp. paid a whopping $3 billion for the company that owned TV Guide. A decade later, Murdoch unloaded TV Guide for $2 billion in cash and stock to a satellite video company.
The Village Voice: It was the late 70s, and Murdoch let his hair down a bit. News Corp. bought the counter-culture publication the Village Voice for $7.6 million in 1977. Murdoch sold the Voice for $55 million in 1985 to help finance the launch of Fox broadcast network a year later.
So if Murdoch is able to convince Time Warner's board to agree to a deal, will HBO or TNT wind up being things that Murdoch unloads in a few years in order to buy the next proverbial big thing?

By MEAD GRUVER Associated Press
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — Hunters already are closing in on killing their annual limit of wolves in northwest Wyoming.
The state's second annual wolf hunt began Oct. 1 and continues through the end of 2013.
Last year's limit was 52 wolves. This year's hunt quota is cut back to 26 wolves.
In the past four weeks, licensed hunters have killed 17 wolves in the trophy-game wolf-hunting zone east and south of Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.
That means the more than 2,000 people who've purchased Wyoming wolf licenses still have more than two months to kill nine more wolves.
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department says six of the 12 wolf-hunt zones are closed.
Hunters have reached their limits in five of those zones. Another hunt zone never opened this season.

That was the only noises heard from the bedroom last night. The little bambino sleep a whole night without waking up. Robyn and I honestly began to think that Jaxson was half-owl, half- boy, since he liked being up at night so much.
However; last night, he confirmed to his mommy and daddy that he was all boy. He slept all night, woke up and ate, farted, cried, then went back to sleep.
That's my boy!!!!!!

Due to COVID restrictions and wildfire recovery, please call wineries to confirm tastings before visiting.
Our Story
The idea of creating Page Wine Cellars happened in the summer of 1996.
The opportunity opened up for Bryan Page to tour many Chateaus
throughout the Bordeaux region, falling in love with their incredible wines.
After his culinary tour in Europe ended, he returned home to California. He simultaneously worked at several restaurants 'saving every penny', while apprenticing at a few Napa Valley wineries, with the goal and desire of making his own wines, under his own label.
In 1997 Page Wine Cellars officially began. The first vintage of Proprietary Red produced only 36 cases.
This is not just a winery where a "consultant" winemaker produces the
wines then the family name is labeled on the bottle. Page Wine Cellars is about hands on crafting our unique and remarkable wines.
Our Wine Style;
The term "Garagistes" refers to a group of innovative winemakers in the
Bordeaux region that produce "Vins de Garage" or "garage wine".
In this tradition, we produce our wines in our warehouse, concentrating on the wine not the surroundings. For our wine this means an elegant mouth feel with edgy flavor profiles. This "elegance with an edge" style shines through with the cult following of our Revolver Cabernet Franc "The Fury" and our Revolver "The Stash", a limited Cabernet Sauvignon.
Plan a trip to Page Wine Cellars on our interactive winery map:
Our Tasting Room decor is as eclectic and unique as we are! Belly up to our handcrafted barrel stave bar and plant your booty on one of our rock 'n roll stools, or grab a chair at one of our tasting tables. Vintage winemaking equipment, a 22" disco ball, lava lamps, guitars, and our intimate family feel make Page Wine Cellars & Revolver Wine Co. a must stop...come check us out!Music in Tasting Room: Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Chili Peppers, Reggae, Disco, and just about whatever we feel...we love Pandora!
Wine clubs are a great way to stay connected to your favorite wineries.
To join the wine club, visit www.pagewinecellars.com or call 707-255-4665.
Page Wine Cellars wine club members (our Groupies) have several options of membership. Our Bass (3 btls.), 6-String (6 btls.) and 12-String (case) club members receive 3 shipments per year. The shipments are every season except summer. We also offer "Garage Band" memberships which allow for personalization of club shipments and allocations of limited production wines.

Study examines trends in withholding treatment for infants in neonatal intensive care units
Withdrawal of life-sustaining support and withholding lifesaving measures (such as CPR) appear to be the primary modes of infant deaths in a neonatal intensive care unit, according to a report in the July issue of Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine.
"Currently, most childhood deaths in the United States occur during the neonatal period and most neonatal deaths follow a decision to withhold or withdraw life-sustaining treatment," the authors write as background information in the article. Prior studies, conducted in the previous 30 years have shown that an increasing number of parents forgo life-sustaining treatment near the end of their child's life, and the number of children with do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders also increased.
Julie Weiner, D.O., of Children's Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and colleagues examined medical records of 414 infants who died between January 1999 and December 2008 at a regional referral neonatal intensive care unit to determine if trends towards decreasing use of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) at the end-of-life for infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICU) had continued into present day.
Of the 414 infant deaths included in the study, 45 percent were due to major congenital anomalies (also known as birth defects; a physical anomaly that has cosmetic or functional significance), 17 percent of these infants were very preterm. Thirty-five percent of deaths were of very preterm births without congenital birth defects. During the ten-year follow-up period, 61.6 percent of infant deaths followed withdrawal of treatment, 20.8 percent followed withholding of treatment and 17.6 percent died despite attempted CPR.
The percentage of deaths that followed withholding of life-sustaining treatment also increased by an average of 1.03 deaths per year during the study's follow-up period. Most of this change was accounted for in very preterm infants (32 weeks or less gestation). For very preterm infants, deaths following withheld treatment increased by 0.7 per year, and during the study follow-up period, withholding of care significantly increased from less than 10 percent to more than 30 percent. Additionally, the use of CPR at death tended to decrease during the same time period.
"During the ten-year period, the primary mode of death in this regional referral neonatal intensive care unit was withdrawal of life-sustaining support," the authors conclude. "Significant increase in withholding of care suggests improved recognition of medical futility and desire to provide a peaceful death."

At a GM OnStar walk-through on Facebook and other new tech enhancements this past week, we saw the brand's new LiveOn marketing campaign. One element is the return of Toonces, the driving cat, to Saturday Night Live. Seriously!
What we're told is Toonces, the lovable cat that can drive a car... badly, will be coming back for Saturday Night Live's November 1st 35th Anniversary primetime special. The purpose of the placement — part of OnStar's new "LiveOn" campaign we showed you a teaser of earlier — is to highlight OnStar's new text-to-voice system we saw in beta form this past week in Detroit (more on that later today).
So what do we know about the return of "Toonces?" Precious little we're afraid. All we were shown was the above placard that said:
SNL character "Toonces the Driving Cat" returns as "Toonces the Texting Cat" and utilizes OnStar to highlight how we can help avoid distracted driving.
In case you don't remember Toonces, here's the first time he showed up on SNL.
Oh that Toonces, what a character! As you can see, the Toonces sketch was pretty lame — but our favorite is still "The Tooncinator" sketch which we've not only found on some random site, we've even embedded it below:
See, we told you Toonces would be back!

WASHINGTON – Only last year, the U.S. European Command was facing some of the deepest cuts of any region in the U.S. military. Now, after Russia's annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, the Pentagon finds itself focusing on the continent in a way not seen in decades.
Earlier this month, U.S. President Barack Obama said he would ask Congress for an additional $1 billion to increase Washington's military commitment to the continent.
Two weeks ago, the U.S. Air Force said it had deployed two B-2 stealth bombers to England, joining two B-52s sent earlier this month. The two aircraft are America's premier nuclear bombers.
Washington has sent additional warships to the Black Sea and the Baltic, F-15, F-16 jets and early warning AWACS aircraft to join ramped up NATO patrols near Russian airspace and troops to train in Germany and Eastern Europe.
With fighting raging in eastern Ukraine between pro-Moscow forces and troops loyal to Kiev, Washington says Russia has put large numbers of troops on the border and may be preparing to deliver tanks and artillery to the separatists.
At a time of budget cuts and when Obama would rather focus its strategic gaze on Asia and the Middle East, resources are limited and few expect America to rebuild the permanent garrison-type presence set up in Europe during the Cold War.
While more military supplies will be placed in the European region, U.S. units will be largely rotated through from existing European bases and elsewhere.
Washington also wants European states to step up more.
"Collective action doesn't mean the United States puts skin in the game while others stand on the sidelines cheering," U.S. National Security adviser Susan Rice told the annual conference of the Center for a New American Security.
Although the United States has pledged to strengthen the military capabilities of non-NATO states near Russia such as Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, officials say no decisions have been made on details and the real focus is on boosting NATO's defenses.
In November, U.S. Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove, the head of the U.S. European Command, said the force had been told to prepare cuts of up to 20 percent, twice that of some other regions, although a congressional budget deal the following month watered down the cuts in the military as a whole.
For now, few military analysts or Western officials believe Russian President Vladimir Putin intends to invade any NATO state.
Since 2008, Moscow has increased its defense spending some 30 percent. However, Russia's estimated budget of $68 billion annually is dwarfed by Washington's $600 billion and remains smaller than the military spending of Britain, France and Germany combined.
Still, the number of forces Moscow can mobilize at speed often outstrips anything the United States or NATO can field, although experts say much Russian equipment remains outdated.
According to the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, Russia has some 845,000 military personnel, more than 2,500 main battle tanks and thousands of armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles.
Shortly before annexing Crimea in March, Moscow mobilized about 150,000 personnel in its Western military district.
The United States has some 67,000 military personnel in Europe, 10,000 of them part of the Stuttgart-based Africa Command (AFRICOM). After the annexation of Crimea, it sent 600 paratroopers from a brigade based in Italy to Poland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.
Washington has also said it will maintain a presence of some 100 U.S. Army Special Forces in Eastern Europe.
At the start of the year, the U.S. Army had no tanks in the continent at all, although European NATO states have more than 1,000. As with Russia, some of them are distinctly outdated.
In January, the U.S. Army moved more than 50 M1A1 Abrams tanks and Bradley armored fighting vehicles into Germany specifically to be used by visiting troops for training.
In any emergency, the United States has long pledged several thousand personnel to the NATO Response Force, including a brigade combat team from the Texas-based 1st Cavalry Division, a hospital ship, air-to-air refueling tankers and escort ships.
The United States sends a smaller battalion-sized unit — roughly one-third the size of a brigade — twice a year for two months for exercises in Europe. So far this year, such groups have been involved in drills in France and Germany — just the kind of deployment the United States believes is likely to become more common.

In this tutorial, we'll learn a handful of neat tricks. Firstly, we'll learn how to use the new online editor, Cloud9, to access, edit and update a GitHub repository from any computer in the world. Next, we'll review GitHub pages, and how they can be used to dynamically display live previews of your repositories. Finally, we'll add in another layer of convenience, and redirect these GitHub live previews to our custom domain.
Still Confused?
Okay, well think of it this way: wouldn't it be cool if, every time you updated a GitHub repository, a live preview demo was updated simultaneously? Currently, you may push the files to your GitHub account, and then, again, upload the same files to your web site, via FTP. If you frequently make updates to projects and demos, this can be a pain in the butt. That's why, in this lesson, we'll learn how to kill two birds with one stone. Every time you push an update to your repository, the preview on your own domain will dynamically update as well.

Power Forward Tuch Continues To Grow Into His Gameby Mike G. Morreale / Minnesota Wild
Right wing Alex Tuch of the United States National Team Development Program Under-18 team was in high demand at the 2014 NHL Scouting Combine.
Tuch is the top-rated American-born skater on NHL Central Scouting's final list of the top North American skaters for the 2014 NHL Draft, and No. 12 among all skaters.
The 6-foot-3, 213-pound right-handed shot had interviews with all 30 NHL teams at the Combine. He comes off a season that saw him round out his game over the second half.
"He's always been a big body and has skated well, but I think he's just starting to realize how big and strong he is," USNTDP U-18 coach Danton Cole said. "He imposes his will on the game sometimes, and that's a good compliment. If he makes it to the second round of the draft, a lot of [NHL] people made a mistake because I feel Alex is a legit first-round candidate."
Tuch is a prototypical power-forward. He skates surprisingly well for a big man and had 29 goals, 64 points and 70 penalty minutes in 61 games. He finished tied for second with eight power-play goals and was tied for first with seven game-winners.
A big moment for Tuch, who is committed to Boston College for next season, was his performance at the Five Nations Tournament in February, when he had two goals and four points in his team's four-game sweep to the title.
"That tournament win in Russia [Five Nations] shows how far we were as a team," Tuch said. "Personally I've matured as a player in all aspects of my game. I've been consistent."
Tuch credits Cole's coaching for much of his success.
"A lot of credit must go to Danton because he stuck by me and always encouraged and boosted my confidence," he said. "I've always had a level head, but the confidence I gained this year really helped my game."
Tuch played on one of the most productive lines in the history of the U-18 team, with center Jack Eichel and left wing Sonny Milano. Milano, who was second on the team with 86 points (29 goals, 57 assists) is No. 16 on Central Scouting's list, while Eichel, who had team-highs of 38 goals and 87 points, is a candidate to be the first player picked at the 2015 draft.
"Alex is a big body and that's something you can't teach," Central Scouting's Greg Rajanen said. "He's got some grit to his game and is good around the net, is physical. If you're looking for a skilled guy with magic hands you choose Milano; if you're looking for a power forward it's Tuch, so it's a matter of team needs at that slot."
Milano said he enjoyed his time with Tuch on the top unit this season.
"We complemented each other so well," Milano said. "I'm more of a skilled type of player. Tuch added the size and strength and Eichel had the speed; we all complemented each other's game. It worked out really well and it was a great line."

Rituals, dances and carnivals win UN protection
The frenetic music and vibrant colors of the Frevo, a Brazilian carnival dance, have been immortalized by UNESCO as a world heritage treasure.
The electrifying tradition from the city of Recife will now stand alongside the likes of the Argentine tango, the Spanish flamenco and the French gastronomic meal, all protected by the U.N. as pieces of the world's "intangible heritage."
The one-week annual UNESCO committee meeting, which ended Friday, aims to raise the profile and give financial support to endangered elements of global culture.
UNESCO describes "intangible heritage" as practices and living expressions handed down from one generation to the next, including rituals, traditions and know-how.
Naize Abreu was one of the Frevo performers who flew in to UNESCO headquarters in Paris from Recife to support the nomination and dance in front of the delegates.
"The joy I have is indescribable," said Abreu, standing in a bright costume with a traditional multicolored umbrella, upon hearing the news. "I am proud that our unique local culture will now be known throughout the world."
The "Fest-Noz," a traditional French dance from Brittany, was also given heritage status, to safeguard a tradition that dates from the 1950s. Further afield, the Korean national folk song the "Arirang," which is known universally throughout the divided North and South was also inscribed in the list, which now numbers 257 elements.
"The concept ... poorly understood just a few years ago, has gained ground everywhere," said Irina Bokova, director-general of UNESCO.
The Intangible Heritage Convention started compiling its list of protected elements in 2008. UNESCO world heritage sites, which are actual places, were designated in June.

Ford introduced the Econoline to the world in 1961 as the truck with a new shape, new design and new name. Based on Ford's compact Falcon, the Econoline was available as a "panel truck" work loving, fun loving "station bus" and our personal favorite, the pickup truck.
It's certainly very easy to tell watching this promo video decades later how new the American van was in 1961. Econolines were still automotive based and significantly more stylish than the truck based models that would eventually replace them in 1968. We'll take one of each.

Greenwich hedge fund, Sureview Capital, closes doors
Greenwich hedge-fund firm Sureview Capital is closing after three years in business.
Founded by John Wu, the stock-picking firm received seed money from industry powerhouse Blackstone Group in 2010. It last reported assets of $427 million on a regulatory filing.
The firm shut down last month, Reuters and the Wall Street Journal reported, citing anonymous sources.
Wu decided to close because he was being forced to spend too much time fundraising rather than trading, the Journal reported.
Phone numbers listed on the firm's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission were not working Monday.
Wu previously worked at Julian Robertson's legendary long-short and stock-picking hedge fund firm Tiger Management.
Before starting Sureview, he was a portfolio manager at Kingdon Capital Management. There, he oversaw investments in the stocks of Internet service companies, according to a 2011 article in Absolute Return.
By getting backing from Blackstone's Strategic Alliance II, the firm's second seeding fund, Wu joined a small number of fund managers who typically received investments of between $100 and $200 million, Absolute Return reported in 2011.
The name Sureview was meant to represent the firm's "core tenet of our research and investment philosophy: `Rely on fundamental evidence, not opinion,' " according to its LinkedIn page. The firm employed 11 people, according to a recent regulatory filing.
It was located at 55 Railroad Ave., in the same building as Viking Global Investors, whose founder, O. Andreas Halvorsen, also once worked for Tiger Management. Viking Global now has $28.1 billion in hedge-fund assets under management, according to alternative assets data and research outfit Preqin.
At the end of the first quarter, Sureview listed CBS as its biggest position and said it owned shares in Yahoo and Facebook, all of which suffered losses in March and early April, Reuters noted.
Wu had a tough start in 2011, strong returns in 2013 and a difficult first quarter of 2014, Reuters reported, citing people familiar with the fund and its performance.
Hedge funds lost money in April and March, and are up 1.13 percent year to date, according to Preqin.
