It took a little longer than expected, but NVIDIA is soon to unveil new drivers that will open up PhysX support on all 8, 9 and GTX-series of GPUs. We've decided to follow-up on our previous article and see where PhysX stands today, and also pit seven GPUs against the new drivers.
In late June, I published the first-look we've had at PhysX since the acquisition by NVIDIA. Though I didn't know it at the time, it was the first part of the series, with three parts likely to be in total. The first article happened rather quickly, because NVIDIA released a new GPU driver out of nowhere that opened up PhysX acceleration on select GPUs. I couldn't help but test it out immediately.
Although that article happened just over a month ago, lots has happened since in the PhysX world, and we'll be taking a look through all of it here.
One thing that impressed me with the last article is how well it performed. It quickly became one of our most popular articles this year, and that's saying quite a bit given we were half-way through 2008. It became obvious to me just how interested gamers have become in PhysX, which is a stark contrast to how things were when AGEIA was at the helm.
Towards the end of that article, I promised to follow-up on my testing once new drivers became available, so here I am, and I'm sure you are to be pleased with what you'll see throughout the reports. I should mention that this article was completed in a very short amount of time, so there are certain features I had to omit, which is one reason I see a part three of this article being necessary in the future.
Gamers are not the only ones who've become interested in seeing PhysX progress, because as we'll find out in this article, NVIDIA is taking the technology very seriously. Although things seemed slow post-acquisition, the company has been putting forth a lot of energy into their newfound physics accelerator, and I expect the rest of the year will be very interesting where PhysX is concerned.
For proof of their interest, look no further than the 'NVIDIA PhysX Pack #1′ that will be released next Tuesday (ironically the same day as a certain competitor's embargo lift). It will contain a slew of PhysX-related goodies that will set gamers off on the right foot. Here is what you'll be able to expect:
We were told that a PhysX Pack #2 was en route, and I'm sure they'll continue to be released as time goes on, depending on how much new PhysX content is out there. Aside from the Pack #1 itself, also released next Tuesday will be the 177.79 driver and also the PhysX software version 8.07.18. What this means is that you'll be able to enable PhysX support on your 8, 9 or GTX-series card, no matter which model.
This is the patch we've all been waiting for, because it essentially blows the PhysX doors wide open for gained developer support. If all 8, 9 and GTX-series cards include PhysX support, it gives game developers all the more reason to support it, which to me, is a very good thing.
In the last article, I did a small amount of performance comparison testing, using 3DMark Vantage and Unreal Tournament III. This time I'll be doing the same, but while also adding Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 to the mix, in addition to NVIDIA's own Fluid techdemo and the Metal Knight Zero automated benchmark.
In this article, I will not be including certain types of testing like I did in the first one, namely due to lack of time. So, there will not be PPU comparison testing (using the AGEIA add-in card), nor will I be testing at varying game resolutions. These inclusions are not necessary, as the main focus of this article will be how each GPU scales with each other, when PhysX is brought into the picture.
One feature we still need to wait for is the ability to dedicate an installed GPU strictly for PhysX acceleration. For example, the scenario could include your SLI setup of dual 9800 GTX's and then a single 9600 GT, which would be the card to handle PhysX computations. This would essentially ease off your big card/s to allow maximum average FPS, while leaving the minor work for the smaller GPU.
Before we jump into our performance results, please take a minute to review our system setup, as seen below. Note that we've tested using seven different GPUs, with another in SLI mode, which is why nothing specific is listed under video.
For tests that don't involve PhysX acceleration, the 174.74 driver will be used, except for the 9800 GX2 and GTX 280, which both use the 177.41 driver. For all PhysX accelerated tests, the upcoming 177.79 driver is used across all cards, along with the PhysX 8.07.18 software package. That combination is what allows PhysX support on the 8, 9 and GTX-series of GPUs.
With that all taken care of, let's start off our testing with some 3DMark Vantage.

The Downside To Dow Jones Industrial Average 20,000
Mitchell Clark: With the Dow Jones Industrial Average (INDEXDJX:.DJI) hitting 17,000 being pretty likely in the not-too-distant future, from there, it's only another 18% or so until the Dow hits 20,000, which is pretty incredible.
These numbers seemed so unrealistic just a few years ago but now, it's not too far fetched. The most amazing thing to me is that stocks still haven't experienced a material price correction since the financial crisis.
Stocks aren't necessarily stretched in terms of valuation, especially with corporate earnings outlooks holding up for this year and going into 2015. What is stretched is investor determination with a market at its high.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."

Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is a great company and a worthy long-term investment (see "Three Blue Chips Set to Drive Higher"), but it's tough to buy stocks at all-time record-highs. In Johnson & Johnson's case, the position's up almost 20 points since the beginning of February, and this is on top of a previous 20-point gain in 2013.
One of these days, stocks are going to get walloped. But there's got to be some sort of catalyst for it to happen.
The Federal Reserve can be a catalyst if it decides to suddenly change its outlook for interest rate certainty. The catalyst could also be a geopolitical event or something that comes out of nowhere, like a big derivatives trade gone bad.
In any event, there will have to be a shock that is perceived to have a lasting effect on capital markets.
In the lull between earnings seasons, which we're currently experiencing, stocks reaccelerated on the back of very modest economic news and that in itself is telling about investor sentiment.
This is a market that can keep going higher based on monetary policy certainty, hope for a modest acceleration in economic growth and corporate earnings, and the wish of institutional investors to keep buying.
But this doesn't mean that investment risk for stocks has disappeared; it's quite the contrary.

Well I'm kinda torn here, the only hop I really need is Czech Saaz but I can only get one pound of it direct and for the shipping price it almost makes sense to just get it at the local HBS. Can I get more than one pound in the group buy? I also want some Citra and I cant get that either.

Spellforce is great though so i'm not saying its a bad game. Just hoping that (since i just got spellforce universe) that it is worth it. | |
wow. this game is ancient. they should cancel this and put it in a package deal instead. they need to work on part 3 with a brand new engine that supports dx11. :) | |
I like Spellforce 2 the best, beat it 4 times and 2 times on expansion. I just hope this one really come out this time... | |
Yes, they really took their sweet time with this. It's been 6 full years since the release of SF2. I really can't recall any game, MMOs excluded, receiving an expansion so late. | |
This would not have even made it out if not for the intervention of another studio so take it for what it is a blessing. Its also looking like this one has compatibility with windows 7 so thats the bigger bonus. | |

Newspapers across the country are struggling and the Star-News is no exception.
The paper's publisher Bob Gruber announced Friday that the Star-News will stop printing its own paper by this summer.
Gruber said that means more than thirty employees in the mail and press rooms could lose their jobs.
The Star-News isn't the only paper to rely on the 39 year-old press; there are several smaller publications that also use it.
Mike Leggett with the Local News Review has to start looking for another printer. "When you depend on a larger corporation and what their decisions are, it's a trickle-down effect so we have to go with the flow and change with the times and that's what we're looking to do."
Leggett has a few months to find another printer. He'd like to stay local, but has talked to printers as far away as Ohio.
There is no word yet on where the Star-News will be printed come early summer.

Ford Lasers will Shoot First, Ask Questions Later
Frank Markus
From the October 2009 issue of Motor Trend
Research This Vehicle:
Select Year
Select Make
Select Model
The weapon of the future, the blunderbuss of Buck Rogers, may soon be aimed at the air-fuel mixture inside your "spark-ignition" engine. Yes, after reinventing practically every other element of Old Smokey, the spark plug -- virtually identical in its essential form and function to the one patented 111 years ago -- may soon be ditched in favor of laser beams.
First let's examine the case against Sparky. Despite laudable upgrades like long-lived platinum tips, computer-controlled coil-on-plug ignition, and even fancy multispark electrodes, there's no getting around a few basic drawbacks: The spark gets generated very near the cylinder wall, which complicates cold starts when all that engine metal is frigid and results in lots of heat transfer to the engine and plug. The flame front also has to travel farther for a complete burn of the mixture. Spark-plug electrodes wear, and providing for easy replacement dictates placing the plug right where bigger valves and direct fuel injectors want to be.
Laser ignition promises a way around all these shortcomings. Researchers at Colorado State University began working on laser ignition for heavy-duty natural-gas engines back in 2002, and more recently Ford and the University of Liverpool in the U.K. have teamed up to develop a passenger-car application. Here's how it works: A near-infrared laser beam shines through a lens that focuses the light at a particular point (or possibly at multiple points) in the cylinder, generating intense energy that causes the air molecules to ionize. This creates a plasma discharge (it looks like a spark formed in mid air) that ignites the air-fuel mixture. Such plasma discharges form in as little as 100 nanoseconds (100 billionths of a second -- about as long as it takes the federal government to spend $13). Regular sparks last some 8000 times longer, so it's possible to create numerous laser plasma blasts during a single combustion stroke. And the laser's energy is expected to keep the lens blasted clear of soot automatically, so no maintenance is likely to be required. Leaner operation promises greater fuel efficiency, while more complete combustion at lower temperatures should reduce emissions (nobody's talking percentages yet).
But perhaps the real genius of laser ignition is its ability to diagnose the spent combustion gasses after ignition. By fitting the lens with a receiver to pick up laser light reflected back through the exhaust cloud the engine controller can measure how completely the fuel is burning (particularly during cold starts) or determine what type of fuel was burned (in flex-fuel cars) and adjust accordingly. This added sophistication should help bring homogeneous-charge compression-ignition (HCCI, the gas engine with near diesel efficiency, "Technologue," December 2007) closer to reality and the ability to produce multiple sparks throughout the cylinder might also help bring ammonia-fueled engines to the fore ("Technologue," November 2008).
Getting that laser light into the cylinder is tricky. One laser per cylinder would be easy but far too costly. Splitting a single laser source into multiple beams aimed down light pipes with mirrors presents problems with vibration and packaging. Fiberoptic cables are most convenient, but in early trials normal materials lost up to 20 percent of the laser energy in tighter bends and the cables deteriorated rapidly. The Colorado State folks devised special hollow, silver-lined, helium-filled fiber optic wires that seem up to the task.
Those certainly sound pricier than spark-plug wires, and a laser probably rings in higher than a handful of coils. Nobody's talking price yet, but I expect the incremental cost (and fuel-economy benefit) for laser ignition will be slightly less than that of direct fuel injection. But slap a "Laser-Fired" badge on it, and the Sci-Fi set will happily pony up.

It's good to gild the lily every now and again. So when we were left with a gallon of surplus eggnog while recipe-testing our Best Eggnog, we decided to update classic cheescake by adding a gingersnap crust and a good slug of nog.
- 1Heat the oven to 325°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- 2Coat the bottom and sides of a 9-inch springform pan with butter. Place the cookie crumbs and melted butter in a medium bowl and mix until thoroughly combined. Pour the crumb mixture into the pan and, using the bottom of a cup, press evenly into the bottom and slightly up the sides. Bake until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes. Place the crust on a wire rack to cool slightly, at least 15 minutes.
- 3Mix together the sugar and flour in a medium bowl and set aside. Place the cream cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until smooth. With the mixer running, slowly pour in the sugar mixture and beat until incorporated. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle as needed.
- 4With the mixer on low, add the vanilla, nutmeg, and salt and then slowly pour in the eggnog; mix until just combined. Add the egg yolk, then the whole eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to incorporate completely before adding the next. Stop the mixer occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl and the paddle as needed.
- 5Pour the filling into the prepared crust, tap to remove any bubbles, and bake until the edges of the cake are browned and the center is barely set, about 45 to 60 minutes. Turn off the oven and let the cake cool in the oven for 1 hour.
- 6Remove the cheesecake from the oven and place on a cooling rack. Cover with a baking sheet and let cool until the pan is lukewarm to the touch, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove the baking sheet, loosely cover the cheesecake, and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 3 days. To serve, run a knife around the inner edge of the pan, remove the sides, and slice.
Beverage pairing: Wenzel Riesling Beerenauslese, Germany. Eggnog is filled with spice, sweetness, and a little sharpness, just like a good late-harvest German Riesling. But the amazing thing about the sweet styles of Riesling is their amazing acidity, which will add a refreshing zing to this rich cheesecake.

text: 1 Echoing what others have said...Posted: 03/03/2009As others seem to have experienced, my tardis hub seems to only work sporadically - not working more often than it does unfortunately. Also, my light on the top seems to work at random too.Also, to echo another reviewer, the location of the usb ports require that you leave a lot of space around the tardis to be able to make use of them. Not ideal on my cramped desk space.Shame, cos this could have been a great product if it lasted more than a couple of weeks!Overall a very cheaply made usb hub that's neither use nor ornament!!!

River Suzhou : Michelin's recommendations
A trip up the River Suzhou reveals the full kaleidoscope of Shanghai society, ranging from trendy and middle-class areas to working-class districts that have so far been spared demolition. A witness to the arrival of the first consignments of opium along its banks at the start of the concessions, the river has perpetuated its tradition of industrial production and the transit of an incredible array of goods, although many of the factories and warehouses still standing have been taken over by art galleries.

Very ripe fruit aromas. The palate is almost velvet in texture, smooth and rich, fruits packed with black berries and sweet plums. A charming, delicious wine. (4/ 2010)
A second wine that has improved dramatically is the Alter Ego de Palmer. The 2009, a blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, exhibits aromas of blackberries, cassis, chocolate, roasted espresso and a smoky/foresty note. This hedonistic, juicy, succulent Margaux is meant to be consumed in its first 10-15 years of life. (2/ 2012)
(a blend of 51% merlot and 49% cabernet sauvignon) Ruby-red. Precise aromas of red cherry, blackcurrant, cocoa and minerals. Bright and fresh in the mouth, with luscious flavors of red and black berries. Finishes clean and long, with an obviously inky/flinty note and mounting tannins that will need some time to resolve fully. A very successful Alter Ego. (6/ 2010)
This is nicely sculpted, with enough concentration to the dark plum, Maduro tobacco, anise and warm tar notes to merit some cellaring, but enough bright acidity and juicy briar hints to make it accessible now. Drink now through 2020. (2/ 2012)
Very dark blackish purple. Racy start and then quite concentrated with a dry but not drying finish. Decent wine. Opulent and mellifluous. (1/ 2013)
Below is a listing of the wine review scores we frequently reference in our notes. While these sources remain an excellent source of information, we always recommend that you trust your own palate. Scores in these publications often represent the personal taste of an individual critic, which may not always coincide with your own.

"The Original Chevre" Launches As First U.S. Campaign To Spotlight Goat Cheeses Of France
NEW YORK, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- "The Original Chevre" is the first U.S. campaign for French goat cheeses. France is the country of origin for goat cheese 'par excellence,' the product of an expertise developed over centuries of artisan craftsmanship. Today, with many goat cheeses on the American market, many of which are marketed to look like French chevre – it is difficult to know what a cheese's origin is, unless one checks the back label.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121114/NY13096)
The new campaign aims to raise awareness of the origins of French chevre, which is made with excellent fresh, local milk and centuries-old craftsmanship in France. It is funded by ANICAP (Association Nationale Interprofessionelle Caprine), the government-recognized body established in 1983 to bring together French goat's milk producers and processors, and FranceAgriMer, a national body supervised by the French Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. Teuwen One Image is the PR agency of record, in partnership with Euroconsultants.
The word "chevre" originates in France, where it translates to "goat." Farmers who used fresh goat's milk to make cheese have referred to it as chevre for centuries; the use of the word spread with the cheese's popularity. The craft of making authentic, artisanal French chevre has been passed down between generations of farmers for thousands of years. France is the #1 producer in the world of pure goat's milk cheese. It comes in a large variety of textures and shapes: from logs, to crottins, to cylinders and pyramids. While lush texture, rich flavors and tang are signatures of French chevre, each one has a unique identity and story. Chevre is primarily made in eight regions across the French countryside located South of the Loire River: Poitou-Charentes, Loire Valley, Burgundy, Rhone-Alps, Provence-Cote d'Azur, Languedoc-Roussillon, Midi-Pyrenees and Aquitaine. The unique terroir of each region, created by a tradition of cultural and environmental influence, is unmistakably tasted in the flavors of each cheese.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Too Many Retirees Clueless on Social Security
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- You'd think retirees, especially cash-strapped baby boomers, would have a plan on how to claim Social Security benefits.
But you'd be wrong.
Says who? Says Securian Financial Group, a St. Paul, Minn., investment advisory firm.
Securian just released a survey showing less than 20% of boomers have a good idea on how they want to handle their Social Security payouts.
Securian's survey focused on 804 consumers, aged 50-65, "to learn the extent of Social Security's role in boomers' retirement income planning." The inescapable conclusion: Americans nearing retirement don't have a clue how and when they'll start claiming Social Security benefits. "Our survey found that only 18% of baby boomers are making decisions now about how they'll claim Social Security," says Michelle Hall, a market research manager with the firm. "But their focus on Social Security may be rising, because half of that 18% tweaked their plans within the last three years." Securian focuses largely on those 18% of respondents who do have a retirement plan linked to Social Security. About 50% of those respondents started working on their Social Security claims between ages 60 and 65. Another 40% say they have started working on their payout plan between ages 50 and 55. Of those boomers who are developing a Social Security plan, nothing is hard and fast. These near-retirees are changing their strategies on the fly:- 59% of the "planners" cited by Securian say they will change the age at which they retire.
- 48% will change the age at which they begin claiming Social Security benefits.
- 14% say they are making changes in the way their spouses will collect Social Security.

"He doesn't care [about negative consequences]; I think he loves this," says a Hague-based journalist who covers Wilders's party.
Much publicity – for him and Muslims
Dutch security alerts have gone from "limited" to "substantial" this month. In the Netherlands, the unseen video brings daily press coverage, as well as seminars, TV debates, lectures by the mayor of Amsterdam, and a recent decrying of it as an "unnecessary provocation" by the eminent philosopher Jürgen Habermas, in what he calls the modern condition of a "post-secular Europe."
Last week Harry de Winter, a prominent Dutch citizen who is Jewish, took out a large ad in the daily de Volkskrant arguing that if Wilders were to say about Jews what he is saying about Muslims – in other words, if he advocated that temples be closed and rabbis deported – the entire country would rise in retaliation over such an anti-Semitic act.
The Islamic community announced in February it would open its doors to the public after the video airs, to show "we have nothing to hide." A joint ecumenical statement by Protestant and Muslim groups said last week that they "forcefully reject [Fitna] if the Koran and the Prophet Mohammed are treated with contempt."
Heleen Terwijn, who runs weekend schools in inner-city Amsterdam, says, "The good side of this whole thing is that many Muslims who were unknown will become known as normal people with a normal point of view. Too many Dutch see Muslims as scary relatives of Osama bin Laden."


text: The consequences for blackwater and for US regular servicemen would be severe were blackwater to ignore the 'rightful' Iraqi government's authority. Even Bush could not be that stupid. We may have the means to destroy Iraq, but even with Iraqi cooperation we do not have the means to keep the peace. And without cooperation it can only get worse.

See that part where it says "Diana plays gut stab"? See how nothing happened afterwards and I lost on the next turn. Yeah, I'm wondering what _that_'s supposed to be about…
Did you play Calm Before the Storm before that?
I noticed that CBtS is pretty buggy when it comes to effects.
I think it was a second turn effect from my talisman of agility. That calm is there due to getting hit by a 22 damage attack.

Basically my question, is there a way to revert back to complete stock, bloatware and all and get everything back to out of the box status? I'm somewhat a noob at this but not completely, I have a high level of understanding of electronics and their natures, just not the know how for the most part. I did some searching and turned nothing up that I could find or that really made me feel comfortable that I was going in the right direction.

End of the Harvest is an excellent story about a college philosophy meeting held on campus by a group of atheists students so to debate the existence of GOD with a group of Christian students. What transpires next is a series of challenges in an attempt to discredit the existence of GOD and weaken the very faith of the Christians who accept to atheist's challenge in order to defend their faith in the Word of GOD.
The story being told in "The End of the Harvest" follows three believers in Christ on a college campus as they attempt to defend their faith in GOD and the Word of GOD, amongst a den of wolves seeking to devour and destroy their faith in GOD. The three brothers in Christ are in very different places in their maturing faith, but Matt (David A. R. White) soon proves to be the most prepared of the three to debate the philosophy students.
Matt is the most prepared and mature in the security of his professed faith in Jesus Christ, but he is also the most reluctant of the three to accept the philosophy club's most recent topic challenge "The End of the World". Based on a research paper discovered in the school's library that had been written more than fifty years ago supposing to predict the time of the end of the world; Matt's friend Scott (Brad Heller) eager to put the atheist group leading the philosophy club in their place soon purposes the topic of the next club meeting "The End of the World". The philosophy club leader Derek (Lance Zitron) accepts Scott's challenge and sets a date for the debate.
In the days, leading up to the debate with the philosophy club; doubts begin to creep into Scott's mind about whether he is prepared enough to go through with what he has started. Overcome with doubt, Scott attends a college party and gets drunk while he was there. Now facing the potential of being called a hypocrite by some of the students belonging to the philosophy club who were also in attendance at the same party; Scott visits his friends Matt and Jess (Kevin Downes) to let them know that he has decided to drop out of the upcoming debate with the philosophy club students.
Jess is a good friend of Matt and he is also a born-again Christian with doubts of his own regarding his preparedness of participating in the upcoming debate; turns to Matt to go to the philosophy club meeting to announce of Scott's withdrawal. While there, Matt is soon challenged by the club's leader Derek to take Scott's place in the debate. Matt's first reaction was to say he wasn't interested, but that answer fell on deaf ears, and so with Matt backed against the proverbial wall…he stayed and defended his faith.
The questions washed to shore like a hurricane by a mostly atheist club membership, but with the confidence of a Captain Ahab; Matt stood his ground, and then turned the tables with a line questioning that proved the power of truth can still shut the mouths of lions and tame the wild beasts.
End of the Harvest is a powerful movie about faith and the decent that those having faith in Jesus Christ are facing in some small and sometimes large way everyday they continue live their lives in this present fallen world. The battle of good verses evil; faith and doubt, and belief and unbelief face-off in the battle of wits, logic and truth in the middle of a philosophy club debate.
The challenge is real…the debate is compelling…the end is awesome.
