Ethics complaint filed against Giron
An Avondale man sent an ethics complaint in an email to the Colorado Secretary of State's office Friday accusing state Sen. Angela Giron of utilizing state resources for the purpose of campaigning and political activity.
Carl Underhill said the Pueblo Democrat is using her state-provided email address and phone number on her campaign website.
Although Giron does not represent the district where Underhill lives, he said he is not a fan of her politics, especially her votes on the state's gun control laws.
"Nothing too bad can happen to her that wouldn't make me feel good," Underhill said in a phone interview with The Pueblo Chieftain .
Her state telephone number and a link to her email address appear on her campaign website under a contact tab.
Underhill is requesting that a Colorado Open Records Act of Giron's emails should be performed to find out if Giron utilized her state email address for campaign-related activity.
"I demand that Colorado State Senate President, John Morse, immediately form a committee to review Ms. Giron's unethical use of state provided email and state phone number," Underhill said in his complaint.
Underhill also called on Giron to remove her state email and phone number from her campaign website immediately.
Undehill sent a copy of his complaint to several media outlets, government leaders and to Giron.
Giron responded to Underhill's email, saying: "You are evidently concerned that my personal website contains contact information so that my constituents may more easily relate their concerns to me by phone or email.
"I am not sure why fostering communications between elected officials and constituents poses any concern, ethical or otherwise," Giron said.
Giron said the use of official contact information is a common and accepted practice.
She pointed out that the campaign website of Republican Sen. Kevin Grantham also has his state telephone number and email address.
Giron said her state website does not – and would never – send campaign messages and contain campaign information.
"But that's not what is at issue here."
Becky Mizel, chairwoman of the Pueblo County Republican Party, scolded Giron in an email sent to The Chieftain.
"This is so disappointing that our state Senator Angela Giron has chosen to use state resources and taxpayer money for her own political gain.
"Unbelevable — her state email and state phone number sit right next to her donate button. I am disgusted as I am sure other taxpayers are also," Mizel said.

Part 3: Life at Stony Wold
The story being told here is by the late Carl Jacobs who grew up in Lake Kushaqua where the huge Stony Wold Tuberculosis Sanatorium was located. It was founded in 1901 and closed in 1955. Carl was born there in 1933 and worked at the San for many years starting from the time he got his working papers; which we all applied for and received when we reached age 14. After his death his family found he had written a story about those years.
"Al Oliver was the station agent at Lake Kushaqua and kept traffic moving. He sold tickets and handled freight along with running the telegraph and keeping the big pot-bellied stove running in the winter time. The stove was half way between the waiting room and his office with a fence separating the two. It was quite large and many times I have seen it so hot that it was cherry red."
Man caught on fire
"Mr. Oliver lived close to the railroad station in a small house with his wife Pearl. He had a car he kept in his garage and it had a leak in the gas tank. He had a pan under the car to catch the gas which he would then put back in the tank. One night he was pouring the gas with a railroad lantern for light when the gas exploded and he was on fire yelling for help. The night watchman, Norm, was across the road and saw what happened. He grabbed a hose attached to a fire hydrant and started to put water on Al and his wife Pearl ran out to help. Then Norm started putting water on the garage which was attached to the house. By this time everyone around was coming to help thanks to the party [telephone] line that was in the village. Al was taken to the hospital with severe burns and with a long recovery was left with awful scars on his legs and hands he had a great nurse attending to his needs because his wife was a Registered Nurse."
The powerhouse
"The powerhouse was fired with two kinds of coal. Blackjack was used in the old furnaces and stoker coal was used in the new furnace. The old furnaces were fired by hand and the type of coal in them burned very hot and dirty and also caused large clinkers that had to be broken up and piled outside. Later they would be loaded on a dump wagon that was drawn by a team of horses, Bill and Bess, and take to one of the roads in town. They would be dumped and spread by hand to make a hard surface."
The coal cars
"The coal was delivered by train in coal cars that were put on the siding next to the main line. The coal had to be shoveled off into a dump truck and someone came up with the idea to dig a tunnel under the siding and make a large hole so that two men could shovel the coal down to the vehicle. We would get as many as fours cars at a time. One car would be spotted at the coal chute by the train crew but when it was empty we had to move it back by hand and then move a full car into place.
"We had long poles with a lever on the bottom that we pushed under the wheels of the coal car and in this manner we could inch the car ahead to put it in place. We had about three days to unload the cars and if they weren't unloaded they would charge us what was called demurrage or something like that. [Demurrage is the delaying of a freight car by the freighter's failure to unload.]
"In the winter time the coal would freeze and we would hit the side of the car repeatedly with a sledge hammer to loosen the coal. This helped a little but someone would always have to get inside the car with a pick axe and loosen the coal so it would run down to the pocket. Sometimes it would all let go at once and nearly bury the man inside the car but usually only up to the waist."
A runaway freight train
"Around 1954 there was a train wreck not far from the railroad station. The cars came off the track and darn near ran over Ernie Jones, manager of Stony Wold, a retiree from the New York Telephone Company. He was on a road that paralleled the tracks and he happened to look in his mirror and saw railroad cars coming at him from the rear. He stepped on the gas and managed to stay ahead of them until he was clear of the scene. At the time I was stationed in Germany so I missed all the excitement but my younger sister, Pat, kept me informed of goings on at home."
I wish was there was more space because Carl also tells about making maple syrup, the blacksmith shop, the telephone system and snowplowing; "After some of the heavier snow falls it was two or three days before the plows would get to Lake Kushaqua but we just kept shoveling until they got there"
Thanks to Carl's brother, Tom, for giving me this story.

If you're looking forward to Thanksgiving today, the folks at RCRDLBL have put together a suitable accompaniment to the festivities: a "Good Thanksgiving" listening list.
If, for whatever reason, your holiday seems more filled with dysfunction than normal, don't worry – they've got your back there too.
Here's an embed of the "Bad Thanksgiving" playlist.
What would we do without the folks at RCRDLBL, who seemingly anticipate our every musical mood? (sniff) It makes me thankful they're around!
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. Everyone else, have a grand Thursday.
By the way, for those of you braving the stores tomorrow, independent record sellers are holding Black Friday Record Store Day events, with special releases and other fun, to commemorate conspicuous consumption, record hound style.

U of O Becoming Popular School Choice For Californians
More than 4,500 Californians enrolled at the University of Oregon in fall 2010, breaking a record. California is the largest and fastest-growing producer of Duck recruits outside of Oregon. The Register-Guard says it's a trend driven by the UO's aggressive marketing efforts and the school's desire for students who pay out-of-state tuition.
Californians now account for nearly one out of every five UO students. They also account for a majority of the UO's overall student growth. Now incoming UO President Michael Gottfredson is heading to Oregon from Orange County, Calif.

We originally came up with the name 'Gekko' when Sam set up his furniture business back in 2006, Gekko was derived from the small lizard Gecko's, their uniqueness, their ability to evolve and adapt within their surroundings and we felt this was always going to be our ambitions from the start, with a slight change of spelling so that it was individual to us.
- Gekko Designs, Sam's furniture business, designing and crafting bespoke furniture. (Website currently under maintenance)
- Gekko Lodge, our B&B in St Ives, renovated in 2007 and opened in 2008, it seemed logical at the time to also name this Gekko.
- Gekko Campers, Classic VW Hire, still in the process of setting up we currently have two vans being restored.
Although all 3 businesses had the same name they still felt individual, we wanted to bring them all together and create an identity.
The following logo's and icon's were designed by VINCE, who has done some truly wonderful work and feedback so far has been excellent! People have been really excited about what has been created.
We agreed at the initial brainstorming session that we wanted more than just a brand, we were after an identity and personality! We would have one logo and each business would be identified by a different colour, we would then be able to apply the logo to many different items across the 3 businesses i.e van stencils, signage, stickers, keys etc. Another important part to us, is that all of the items that our logo/icon would be applied to, would be crafted by us (or local people).
Some of our artwork includes:
Stamps (rather than business cards) these are great as they can also be applied anywhere, stamping the underneath of Sam's furniture. labels for my homemade jams!
Gekko sign, a new sign is to be made for the B&B incorporating wood and metal, designed and crafted by Sam.
We are currently having some mugs made for us by local potter, Kat Wheeler who works at the Leach Pottery. The icon will be stamped into the porcelain, photo's to follow when they are ready.
So a massive thank you to VINCE for the fantastic designs!
Photo's will be updated accordingly, so watch this Gekko space!!

And, then, I later read 'The Power of Now' by Eckhart Tolle, and it tells you to find a shaft of sunlight and sit in it every day. So my boyfriend was, like, following Eckhart Tolle's weird sunlight advice and finding it. And then he ended up using 'The Power of Now' to break up with me. So, like, it had turned against me.
—Starlee Kine, from her story "Radical Honesty" (mp3, 19:59) on The Moth podcast.
We've received countless stories about the positive impact of Eckhart Tolle's teachings on people's lives. I had to smile when I heard this humorous story from a person who was on the receiving end of his guiding principles. If you work on SOF long enough, you hear the most surprising references to all types of material and people on the program!

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 2 turns of the pan
- 4 slices hickory or applewood smoked bacon, chopped
- 2 medium onions, chopped
- 2 to 4 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 bay leaf, fresh or dried
- 4 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup dry red wine, eyeball it

- 1 quart beef stock or broth, available on soup aisle in market
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke flavoring, optional -- for extra smoky stew
- Salt and pepper

- 1 box biscuit mix, 8 1/2 ounces (recommended: Jiffy Mix brand) prepared to package directions
Heat a heavy bottomed large, wide pot or pan over high heat. Cut the sirloin into large cubes. Add oil to the pan and heat. Add meat and caramelize for 2 minutes on each side; remove from pan to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil. Reduce heat to medium high.

Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Drop large spoonfuls of watercress biscuit mix into the pan onto the surface of the stew and cover the pan. Cook 8 minutes until dumplings plump. Serve stew with dumplings.

Carlos Santana of the Indians would like to play in the field more, but the Indians already have good options at catcher in Yan Gomes and at first base in Nick Swisher. Instead, then, Santana would like to try third base, and Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes that the Indians are interested in the possibility, in part because Santana is taking initiative rather than complaining. (He's working out at third at the Indians' Dominican facility.) Whether Santana can field at third base is an open question -- he hasn't played more than a handful of games at the position since 2006, when he was in the Dodgers' minor-league system. If the Indians have any confidence he can play there, though, they might be less inclined to pursue a righty-hitting third-base type this offseason. Lefty-hitting Lonnie Chisenhall, who struggled last season, currently sits atop the Indians' depth chart at third.

This blog entry is written byNancy Brinker, Chief of Protocol at the U.S. Department of State.Arusha, Tanzania
On Monday we arrived in Arusha, Tanzania and went directly to Meru District Hospital. The streets were lined with many supporters who are very appreciative of what President Bush has done for their people.
The Meru District Hospital was founded in 1968 as a rural health center and upgraded to a hospital in 1986. The hospital is a President's Malaria Initiative (PMI) partner that participates in all related health facility-based programs. The Reproductive and Child Health Clinic provides prenatal and postnatal services, vaccinations, and an outpatient department for women and children. The clinic treats approximately 1,300 malaria cases per month and provides prenatal care to approximately 550 women per month. The facility issues approximately 225 bed net vouchers to pregnant women per month. The clinic also provides voluntary HIV counseling and testing, Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission services (PMTCT), and HIV/AIDS care and treatment services.
To date, more than 3 million bed net vouchers have been distributed in Tanzania, roughly 1.9 million from PMI. The vouchers allow recipients to purchase bed nets from private retailers at a 75 percent discount. This hospital has almost 40,000 patients come through yearly. USAID senior project manager, fifty-three-year-old Patrick Swai, said mothers and children are given vaccinations, checked for Malaria and AIDS, and has been told that cancer screening is to be added soon. We brought bed nets with us today and President and Mrs. Bush passed them out.
We then visited the A to Z textile mill where we were briefed on the creation of the bed nets. The new nets last longer – up to five to seven years and this program has been very successful here. The President announced new steps in the bed net campaign. Within the next six months, the United States and Tanzania, in partnership with the World Bank and the Global Fund, will begin distributing 5.2 million free bed nets. This ambitious nationwide program will provide enough nets to protect every child between the ages of one and five in Tanzania.
We could see Mount Kilimanjaro from where we were. It is called Killy by the young people. The farms are small and carefully tended and one can only imagine the hopes and dreams of the farmers as their survival is based on this years crops. The weather because of the altitude is cooler than Dar se Salaam and along the road new hotels seem to be opening as well as tourist sites.
We then traveled to the Maasai Girls School where President and Mrs. Bush gave books to the students. Once again the roads are lined with children, mothers and many young boys.
When we arrived at the school we were entertained by the Maasai Tribe. The girls sang to us and thanked President Bush for the support to learn and be educated. They sang their praise and said education is the opportunity they need not to have to marry at this age.
Sister Mary Vertucci started this school 1998. She challenged us to make sure the school remains culturally acceptable and the men become supportive. Being educated and being a wife are not mutually exclusive.
Check out this article from Reuters about the school:
Ronald in New York writes:
Really sad ...a mad and futile dash for positive imagery and legacy in the final months of 2 terms.
Even the Bush Global AIDS program was self-sabotaged by religiosity, moralizing and puritantical caveats.
Way too little, woefully, too late
Zharkov writes:
While the fluff and pomp are befitting a king, Americans want to know what kind of promises Mr. Bush is making while he is touring Africa.
How much is it going to cost us this time?
How can the federal government continue to borrow money from China and Saudi Arabia at U.S. taxpayer expense in order to make gifts of this money to Africa?
Why are American taxpayers being fleeced to pay for grandiose gestures by our now-bankrupt government?
Rachel in Texas writes:
Africa is such a beautiful land with a people who care fiercely for one another when their own political divisiveness does not get in the way. It is admirable and just that America maintain her stance of aid for development and education in Africa.
Sometimes, I think we forget that we still have a relatively short history compared to the continents across the Atlantic. During our time as a nation, Africa has been through much, as a whole, and individual countries have been through more civil wars and governing institutions than can be counted on two hands.
Despite its travails, the countries of Africa have managed to maintain a place in world economics that has earned them the respect and aid of stronger nations.
America realizes that stability and growth only occur when the people are educated and happy and I hope that America will remain a staunch supporter as long as the countries of Africa work toward this end and desire our aid.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
Here's your answer Zarkov,
( excerpt from a recent interview )
Yes, Rog.
Q I want to go back to Africa -- you talked about Americans and their generosity --
THE PRESIDENT: What's that?
Q Americans and their generosity. What do you think that Americans think of your trip?
THE PRESIDENT: I don't have any idea. What are you writing about it? I don't know what they think of it. Ask another question. I really don't know. I'm focused on the trip.
When I get home, I pick up a book and start reading it, and I'm sound asleep shortly thereafter. So I'm not -- I don't know. I really don't know.
MRS. BUSH: -- depends on what you all are showing.
THE PRESIDENT: I don't know. I hope they think -- here's what I hope they think: It's worthwhile to be supportive of a robust policy on the continent of Africa. It's worth our national security interest and it's worth our interest to help people learn to read and write and save babies' lives from mosquito bites. That's what I hope they realize, and that's one of the main -- that's a critical reason to go on the trip. I would hope that the country never says, well, it's not worth it over there, what happens over there -- or it says, well, we've got to take care of our own first, exclusively.
And my answer is, we can do both. We're a generous country. And we do, do both.
-end excerpt-
Well then Zarkov, since you seem to think that saving a buck is more important than saving a life, that being the case you simply have no concept of what being American is all about.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
Poor Eric. He doesn't understand that the federal government went bankrupt from giving away money. It has to borrow in order to spend because it can't print paper dollars fast enough to keep up with the spending, and Eric pays interest on the borrowed money out of taxes which are rising.
There is currently no American money left for gifts to Africa, Eric; Mr. Bush is exchanging the future income of your children, and their children for the illusory goal of "helping Africa." And what of the billions of dollars already given away to Africa? When you see pictures of poor African villages, do you see any paved roads, sewer systems, running water, or modern infrastructure? Of course not - most of the U.S. aid money previously handed over to African governments went into private Swiss bank accounts and French shopping sprees, and some might even have been spent in the larger cities for a few improvements necessary to keep the illusion alive that it is all somehow useful "to save the people".
The concept of "being an American" means respecting the American constitutional limit on federal power by not making illegal gifts of taxpayer revenue or going into bankruptcy to make us feel better about ourselves.
America's first colonies were as poor as Africa. America didn't prosper because of donations from liberals. It prospered from trade - today we call it "economic freedom".
This new idea of the federal government promoting the general welfare of the world is not one of those powers given to it by the constitution and if you want to consider the constitution "just a damn piece of paper," you are not being a real American.
A real American doesn't spit on our founding documents, bankrupt our country, devalue our dollar, send our jobs to China, hold hands with our enemies, destroy our liberty, and then borrow against our credit to make foreign government officials and their followers wealthy, and then brainwash our citizens into believing that any of this is helping the poor. World socialism is truly a mental disorder.

Best orange flavour I've tried
Posted by Umbridge on Sep 21, 2012
I've bought a few different orange extracts, and this one is the best. Like the other frontier flavours, the taste isn't too strong and it tastes natural. I would definitely recommend this. I put it into smoothies most often, and it's great.
So thankful to find this product. Roxanna from Ohio
Posted by Reviewer1115000 on Jul 13, 2011
I love this product, however, the first time I used this I didn't read the instructions. I put in way too much. I now use an eye dropper for when I make a 1-2 serving dish. The price is great! The fact it is organic and alcohol-free and such true flavor, no coloring dyes. It's pure heaven.I want to get the other flavors to add to my pantry.
Very good

a bit pricey here,but looks like a Great alternative to chemical detergents
Posted by PracticalReviews on Oct 26, 2013
use twice the amount of Nuts if you have "Hard water"(lots of Calcium residue) in your area.it is also reocommended to add some essential oil as the nuts create foam from the saponin inside but only has a trace lemonish scent.i recommend a few drops of Lavender on the nuts....you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews
Why didn't I try these earlier!
Posted by Reviewer3284958 on Jul 18, 2012
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE....the cost savings is almost mind blowing, 5 nuts doing wash every day, lasts me two months+ , this is maybe 10cent a load if that...with no chemical, a clean feel and no scent I'll never go back!
Love the idea, but...
Posted by 4685326873256908141 on Aug 18, 2013
I love the idea of using soapnuts, but I feel that they last very short, shorter than expected. And they don't wash away all the spots. As a mother of two small kids, I need soap that removes all the dirt. But I use the soapnuts for clothes that's not very dirty, and for silk and delicate things. I love the smell though.
Very good quality soap nuts
Posted by 4885588073748259870 on Mar 10, 2013
I used them for laundering. Of course, don't expect them to wash same as chemicals do, but they're good.
Posted by Reviewer1543376 on Mar 19, 2012
great if you`re in the mood for experiment )) otherwise will prefer something stronger
Not bad
Posted by 5441372717917491452 on Jun 29, 2013
I needed to soak it for few minutes in a cup of hot water activate it. I used 5 nuts, the result is not bad and has a strange smell. Later I'll use more nuts and some of the clothes need to be soaked before. I see it's expensive.
love/hate these!
Posted by 5222542613436781664 on Apr 23, 2014
i love that these last for so many loads of laundry (a plus in our household!). i use them mostly for our cloth diapers. however...i find that the soap nuts don't last as long as the package claims. after 2 washes, the nuts are already thin and barely producing soap.
Use with essential oils
Posted by odereviews on Jul 18, 2013
These has a pretty strange scent, but this is a natural way to clean you clothes. Try with essential oils to get a nice scent to your clothes. Price was bit high.
Posted by Reviewer2064113 on Jul 28, 2012
I like a natural alternative in cleaning laundry.
Great so far

Have only used it 2 times but so far it's worked great!

Boy to be tried as an adult in school bus shooting
Published: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 24, 2013 at 9:11 a.m.
MIAMI — A 15-year-old accused of fatally shooting another student on a South Florida school bus will be tried as an adult.
The Miami Herald reports the teen will be transferred to the Miami-Dade County Jail after being on house arrest since the shooting just before Thanksgiving. His first appearance could come Thursday morning.
Authorities say 13-year-old Lourdes Guzman-DeJesus was killed when the teenager took a pistol out of his backpack while the bus was taking the students to school. It fired, striking Guzman-DeJesus in the neck. The shooting happened in front of the girl's 7-year-old sister.
The Herald reports the student will face formal charges of manslaughter, carrying a concealed firearm and possession of a firearm by a minor on Jan. 28.

Got in one of these this year. 32 guys, $100 a man. Every guy gets a team. I drew the 49ers. Like $200 a week goes towards a pot that builds and pays out when a NFL team scores exactly 33 points.
Not one team has scored 33 points this year through 11 weeks. Over 2 G's in there when someone hits it.
Cool concept ... every week this years theres been teams that had chances to hit it but couldn't do it. Fun to follow.

..and turn it into a winner quickly.
I say quickly because you can't sell the fanbase on another rebuild. You can't, as a GM, a Head Coach or anyone else involved in the organization show up on the podium, and go "Listen, Give me 5 years, and you'll be a winning team".
I realize to an extent what hands we've been dealt, the GM we have is clearly not Kevin Colber. The coach is unproven, and QB we have is well, mediocre.
And yes, I know, I know ELITE QB=ELITE Team, and that's the most critical need. That option as it stands now though, doesn't exist.
So what do you do?

Campos to enter House race
November 6, 2007
State Democratic Rep. Joe Campos of Santa Rosa said Tuesday he will run for Congress from New Mexico's 2nd Congressional District.
Campos, who represents Curry, Roosevelt and De Baca counties, hopes to fill the seat being vacated by Steve Pearce, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
He plans a formal announcement of his candidacy Friday.
Campos said he has been "mulling over" a decision to run for the congressional seat "for a while." When Pearce announced he would run for the seat being vacated by the retirement of Sen. Pete Domenici, Campos said he decided the time was right.
"With my experience and my record, I feel I can make a difference for the people of the 2nd District," Campos said. "We need a congressman who understands city, county and state government and who understands the problems and needs of the rural areas of our state, which many times are overlooked."
Campos is serving his third two-year term representing District 63 in the New Mexico House.
Campos said his work in the Legislature to promote the growth of business and jobs in his district will be key factors in his campaign, as will his work in support of New Mexico's military installations and his initiative to create the Renewable Energy Transmission Authority.
Campos sponsored legislation that created the New Mexico Base Retention Commission.
"Fortunately, we had the Base Retention Commission already in place and ready to go when Cannon was put on the closure list," Campos said.
Campos predicted "a boom" in the Clovis area as Cannon makes the transition from an F-16 fighter wing to a home for a Special Operations wing.
"I'm not sure Clovis realized how big the impact of the new mission will be," Campos said. "I'm hoping area towns like Fort Sumner and Melrose can take advantage of part of that."
Heather Wilson has also announced plans to run for Domenici's seat on the Republican side and Tom Udall is considering a run on the Democratic ticket. Campos said New Mexicans will need congressmen with a strong understanding of the process and who can hit the ground running in Washington.
Campos will meet with De Baca County constituents at 6 p.m. Thursday at Fred's Restaurant in Fort Sumner to discuss his candidacy, as well as to talk about issues affecting the area as the 2008 session of the New Mexico Legislature approaches.

When testing in CrossFireX modes all Radeon HD 7970 frequencies were set at the same 1000/5800 MHz for all graphics cards, and at 900/5500 MHz for twp Radeon HD 7950:
The reference Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 graphics card has also been included into this test session, but mostly with intention to diversify the results or estimate the improvements in the new driver performance than for comparison against AMD Radeon HD 7970, which we have already done earlier. As soon as we get our hands on a second GTX 680 we will perform SLI configuration tests, too.
In order to lower the dependence of the graphics cards performance on the overall platform speed, I overclocked our 32 nm six-core CPU with the multiplier set at 37x, BCLK frequency set at 125 MHz and "Load-Line Calibration" enabled to 4.625 GHz. The processor Vcore was increased to 1.455 V in the mainboard BIOS:
Hyper-Threading technology was enabled. 16 GB of system DDR3 memory worked at 2 GHz frequency with 9-11-10-28 timings and 1.65V voltage.
The test session started on April 9, 2012. All tests were performed in Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 with all critical updates as of that date and the following drivers:
- Intel Chipset Drivers 126.96.36.1990 WHQL from 01/26/2011 for the mainboard chipset;
- DirectX End-User Runtimes libraries from November 30, 2010;
- AMD Catalyst 12.3 driver from 03/28/2012 + Catalyst Application Profiles 12.3 (CAP1) from 03/29/2012 for AMD based graphics cards;
- Nvidia GeForce 301.24 beta driver from 04/09/2012 for Nvidia graphics cards.
The graphics cards were tested in two resolutions: 1920x1080 and 2560x1600. The tests were performed in two image quality modes: "Quality+AF16x" – default texturing quality in the drivers with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering and "Quality+ AF16x+MSAA 4(8)x" with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering and full screen 4x or 8x antialiasing if the average framerate was high enough for comfortable gaming experience. We enabled anisotropic filtering and full-screen anti-aliasing from the game settings. If the corresponding options were missing, we changed these settings in the Control Panels of Catalyst and GeForce drivers. We also disabled Vsync there. There were no other changes in the driver settings, except for the CrossFireX mode selection, which is now allowed in the Catalyst drivers:
Therefore, if for some reason CrossFireX wouldn't work in a certain game, we tried to enable it manually by selecting a profile or by enabling AFR mode.
The list of games and applications used in this test session includes two popular semi-synthetic benchmarking suites, one technical demo and 15 games of various genres:
- 3DMark Vantage (DirectX 10) – version 184.108.40.206, Performance and Extreme profiles (only basic tests);
- 3DMark 2011 (DirectX 11) – version 18.104.22.168, Performance and Extreme profiles;
- Unigine Heaven Demo (DirectX 11) – version 3.0, maximum graphics quality settings, tessellation at "extreme", AF16x, 1280x1024 resolution with MSAA and 1920x1080 with MSAA 8x;
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat (DirectX 11) – version 1.6.02, Enhanced Dynamic DX11 Lighting profile with all parameters manually set at their maximums, we used our custom cop03 demo on the Backwater map;
- Left 4 Dead 2 (DirectX 9) – version 184.108.40.206, maximum graphics quality settings, proprietary d98 demo (two runs) on "Death Toll" map of the "Church" level;
- Metro 2033: The Last Refuge (DirectX 10/11) - version 1.2, maximum graphics quality settings, official benchmark, "High" image quality settings; tesselation, DOF and MSAA4x disabled; AAA aliasing enabled, two consecutive runs of the "Frontline" scene;
- Just Cause 2 (DirectX 11) - version 22.214.171.124, maximum quality settings, Background Blur and GPU Water Simulation disabled, two consecutive runs of the "Dark Tower" demo;
- Aliens vs. Predator (2010) (DirectX 11) – Texture Quality "Very High", Shadow Quality "High", SSAO On, two test runs in each resolution;
- Lost Planet 2 (DirectX 11) – version 1.0, maximum graphics quality settings, motion blur enabled, performance test "B" (average in all three scenes);
- StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty (DirectX 9) – version 1.4.3, all image quality settings at "Extreme", Physics at "Ultra", reflections On, two 2-minute runs of our own "bench2" demo;
- Sid Meier's Civilization V (DirectX 11) – version 184.108.40.2068, maximum graphics quality settings, two runs of the "diplomatic" benchmark including five heaviest scenes;
- Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X. 2 (DirectX 11) – version 1.04, maximum graphics quality settings, shadows On, tessellation Off (not available on Radeon), two runs of the test scene;
- Total War: Shogun 2 (DirectX 11) – version 2.0, built in benchmark (Sekigahara battle) at maximum graphics quality settings;
- Crysis 2 (DirectX 11) – version 1.9, we used Adrenaline Crysis 2 Benchmark Tool v.184.108.40.206. BETA with "Ultra High" graphics quality profile and activated HD textures, two runs of a demo recorded on "Times Square" level;
- DiRT 3 (DirectX 11) – version 1.2, built-in benchmark at maximum graphics quality settings on the "Aspen" track;
- Hard Reset Demo (DirectX 9) – benchmark built into the demo version with Ultra image quality settings, one test run;
- Batman: Arkham City (DirectX 11) – version 1.2, maximum graphics quality settings, physics disabled, two sequential runs of the benchmark built into the game.
- Battlefield 3 (DirectX 11) – version 1.3, all image quality settings set to "Ultra", two successive runs of a scripted scene from the beginning of the "Going Hunting" mission 110 seconds long.
If the game allowed recording the minimal fps readings, they were also added to the charts. We ran each game test or benchmark twice and took the best result for the diagrams, but only if the difference between them didn't exceed 1%. If it did exceed 1%, we ran the tests at least one more time to achieve repeatability of results.

Check Point Leaves Investors Feeling Insecure
Breach In Growth Momentum
For its third quarter, Check Point earned $152.4 million, or 73 cents per share on revenue of $332.4 million. While the revenue total arrived slightly below estimates of $333 million, it did show 8% year over year from $308.3 million. Likewise, net income of $152.4 million was 14% higher from the same period of a year ago. The company attributed the improved results to growing demand for its Internet security software. Check Point's chairman and CEO, Gil Shwed offered this:
Third quarter results continued to be good with healthy growth in enterprise appliance units and software blade sales. Our revenues and earnings per share came in at the upper half of our projections. Geographically, North America continued to deliver great results with double digit growth in product and service revenues.
The numbers were impressive. However, this was not enough to prevent a selloff in the stock immediately after the company issued guidance for the fourth quarter. Investors were displeased with the revenue range of $355 million to $387 million. On average, analysts projected $382 million. Similarly, the low end of Check Point's adjusted earnings projections of 84 cents was significantly below analysts' expectations of 90 cents per share. As a result, the stock plummeted almost 13%.
Concerns regarding Europe have a lot to do with the company's conservative guidance. This seems to be consistent with rival Fortinet, which cut full-year projections just the day prior due to weak demand in China and Europe - sending shares down almost 20%.
Moving Forward
Overall, Check Point reported a solid quarter. In light of the ongoing fiscal concerns with Europe, I think the company has taken the right approach with its guidance. However, the bigger issue with Check Point will come from the competition -- in particular, from the likes of enterprise security darling Palo Alto Networks (PANW) . In its first quarter as a public company, Palo Alto did what it had to do to affirm investor confidence in its business.
For its fiscal fourth quarter, the company saw revenue jump to $75.6 million -- representing an increase of 88% and topping the $40.2 million it reported in the same quarter of a year ago. Also impressive was its reported loss, which narrowed to $4.6 million on a GAAP basis or 18 cents per share. This compares favorably to its net loss of $6 million in the same period of a year ago.

RECAP: 2013 Slalom World Cup Final
(Nee at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials)
Ashley Nee (Bethesda, Md.) turned in a career-best performance Sunday, finishing 12th in the women's K-1 semifinal with a time of 115.26, including one 2-second gate touch penalty. Her time was +5.17 seconds behind the round's first place finisher and +0.68 seconds from the Top 10 and spot in the final.
"Hell Yeah! So stoked," Nee said via Facebook. "12th in the Final World Cup! Career best!"
Dana Mann (Washington, D.C.) also competed in the K-1 semifinal, placing 27th. She missed a gate en route to time of 167.22.
WHAT: 2013 ICF Slalom World Cup Final
WHERE: Bratislava, Slovakia
WHEN: August 23-25
WHO: U.S. Senior National Team
Click HERE for complete results and HERE for final World Cup standings. Up next for Team USA is the 2013 ICF Slalom World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic, Sept. 12-15.
The week's racing was highlighted by the Silver medal won by the U.S. in the men's kayak team event, Fabien Lefevre (Bethesda, Md.), Top 10 finish in C-1, and hot starts by kayaker Michal Smolen (Gastonia, N.C.) and canoeist Casey Eichfeld (Drums, Pa.).
"It's good to see the slalom program building confidence heading into the Worlds in Prague," said USA Canoe/Kayak CEO Joe Jacobi. "We have several athletes who know they are capable of strong performances in Prague."
Final World Cup Series Standings:
K1M: Lefevre 5, Smolen 34, Richard Powell (Parkesburg, Penn.) 41
K1W: Mann 28, Nee 32
C1M: Lefevre 13, Eichfeld 18, Zach Lokken (Durango, Colo.) 30
C1W: Micki Reeves (Denver, Colo.) 20, Colleen Hickey (Okawville, Ill.) 29
C2M: Eichfeld/Devin McEwan (Salisbury, Conn.) 20
Team USA had not had much success in the team events through the first four World Cups this year, finishing as high as 7th in men's C-1 and 10th in men's K-1. That changed Saturday as the kayak trio of Fabien Lefevre (Bethesda, Md.), Richard Powell (Parkesburg, Penn.) and Michal Smolen (Gastonia, N.C.) won the Silver medal with a time of 111.67, including 2 penalty seconds.
They finished 1 hundredth of a second behind the first place finishers from Poland. The U.S. paddlers thought they had won Gold for almost an hour after the event, only to find out that a Polish penalty was overturned, vaulting them from 3rd to 1st place.
In the men's team C-1 event, Lefevre, Casey Eichfeld (Drums, Pa.), and Zach Lokken (Durango, Colo.) finished 5th with a time of 123.72, including 3 gate touch penalties. They finished +8.88 seconds behind the event's first place finisher.
Lefevre turned in the best individual performance of the day, placing 7th in the men's K-1 final and 15th in the C-1 semifinal. In kayak, Lefevre missed a gate in the final to finish in 148.23. He was otherwise fast, turning in the top time before penalties. The two-time Olympic medalist for France qualified for the final after placing 7th in the heats and 2nd in the semifinal.
Also competing in men's K-1, Powell and Smolen finished 24th and 39th in the semifinal, respectively. Powell turned in a penalty-free time of 103.15, which was +6.02 seconds behind the round's first place finisher and 3 seconds outside of a spot in the Final. Smolen, who ranked 1st overall after heats, missed a gate en route to a semifinal run of 153.36.
In men's C-1, Lefevre incurred 2 gate touch penalties en route to a semifinal run of 110.18, which was +7.99 seconds behind the round's first place finisher. Eichfeld, who ranked 4th after heats, placed 17th in the semifinal with a time of 110.74. Lokken finished 19th with a time of 112.05, including 2 seconds worth of penalty time.
"My racing here in Bratislava has come to an end," Eichfeld said via Facebook. "It has been a good weekend. I know that I can do better than I finished, but progress doesn't happen over night. I am excited to continue training because it means more time I get to spend in my boats!"
In women's C-1, Micki Reeves (Denver, Colo.) missed 2 gates en route to a 20th place finish in the semifinal with a time of 284.56.
Nine of 10 U.S. boats advance Friday to the semifinal round. Leading the way are kayaker Michal Smolen (Gastonia, N.C.) and canoeist Casey Eichfeld (Drums, Pa.), who both rank among the top 5 in their respective classes through heats.
Smolen, 19, enters Saturday's men's K-1 semifinal ranked 1st after a penalty-free 2nd run time of 92.68. His time was 0.14 seconds faster than the second place finisher through heats – Boris Neveu of France, a 2009 World Championship silver medalist.
A week after ranking 1st through heats at World Cup No. 4, the two-time Olympian Eichfeld ranks 4th with a penalty-free 1st run time of 99.20, which was +2.27 seconds behind the first place finisher on the day.
Also competing in men's C-1, Fabien Lefevre (Bethesda, Md.) and Zach Lokken (Durango, Colo.) both qualified for Saturday's semifinal with 12th and 15th place rankings through heats, respectively. Lefevre's penalty-free 2nd run time of 101.51 was +4.58 seconds behind the first place finisher through heats. Lokken turned in a penalty-free 2nd run time of 102.58.
Also competing in men's K-1, Lefevre and Richard Powell (Parkesburg, Penn.) both advanced with 7th and 22nd place rankings through heats, respectively. Lefevre, a two-time Olympic medalist for France, turned in a penalty-free 1st run of 94.50, which was +1.82 seconds behind Smolen's pace-setting time. Powell finished in 96.57 with no penalties.
"Good day for U.S. Team during the Bratislava World Cup heats," Lefevre said via Facebook. "[I finished] 7th in the K1 and 12th in C1. Let's start the serious workout tomorrow in semis! Special congrats to my teammate Michal Smolen who took the lead after his second run in K1."
In women's C-1, Micki Reeves (Denver, Colo.) is well on her way to her first World Cup Final of the 2013 season. She heads into the Saturday's semifinal ranked 10th after turning in a 2nd run time of 137.54, which included 3 gate touch penalties.
In women's K-1, Dana Mann (Washington, D.C.) and Ashley Nee (Bethesda, Md.) advance to Sunday's semifinal ranked 24th and 28th, respectively. Mann's penalty-free 1st run time of 111.88 was +7.59 seconds behind the first place finisher through heats. Nee's 1st run time of 112.87 included 2 seconds worth of penalty time.
Eichfeld and men's C-2 partner Devin McEwan (Salisbury, Conn.) finished the day ranked 22nd, just outside of the Top 20 and a spot in the semifinal. Their 2nd run time of 119.38 was +16.18 seconds behind the first place finishers through heats and +2.66 seconds outside of the Top 20.
"Devin and I are feeling a bit disappointed right now," Eichfeld said via Facebook. "Despite feeling that we are finally getting some traction together, we had a few time errors and touches through our second run that kept us from moving on. Oh well. We are a work in progress and I'm excited to see the progress! We shall paddle on!"
Fabien Lefevre (Bethesda, Md.) and Casey Eichfeld (Drums, Pa.) will look to improve on their performances in men's single canoe last weekend as the World Cup circuit comes to a close. Lefevre will attempt to improve upon his 4th place finish at World Cup No. 4 to win his second medal of the 2013 World Cup season and first career World Cup medal in C-1. Eichfeld hopes to put together a solid 3-day stretch of racing after leading all C-1 paddlers through heats in Tacen, Slovenia, only to fade to 27th place in the semifinal.
"[I] finished 4th in C-1 with a good run and an unpredictable spin on the top section - a little loss of time that probably costs me the podium," Lefevre said via Facebook. "Anyway, I was happy to run my first final run in this class!"
Also competing in men's C-1 is Zach Lokken (Durango, Colo.), who will try to finish the World Cup on a high note after a Top 10 finish at the Under-23 World Championships.
Lefevre will also be competing in men's kayak, where he won Bronze at World Cup No. 1. Kayaker Richard Powell (Parkesburg, Penn.) hopes to continue moving forward after posting his best result of the season with an 18th place finish last weekend. Both Powell and Michal Smolen (Gastonia, N.C.) will be looking to qualify for their first final of the 2013 World Cup series.
In women's kayak, Ashley Nee (Bethesda, Md.) qualified for her first World Cup semifinal of the 2013 season at World Cup No. 4. Dana Mann (Washington, D.C.) returns to action after skipping World Cup No. 4.
Women's canoeist Micki Reeves (Denver, Colo.) placed 13th last weekend. The men's C-2 duo of Eichfeld and Devin McEwan (Salisbury, Conn.) finished 14th in Tacen, their best performance since a 13th place finish at World Cup No. 1.
