In the past year, AMD seems to have been taking a sort of "strategy du jour" approach. We ship low-cost processors! We do low-power CPUs! Our parts are great for overclockers! We love home-theater PCs!
Those messages weren't really different from anything Intel, the 900 pound velociraptor in the CPU business, would offer up, but there was always a tinge of desperation. This became more noticeable as Intel slowly and methodically stripped away whatever technology edge AMD had. Intel's Nehalem was really the last straw: AMD couldn't even claim "true quad core" any longer.
The exception to this has been the company's graphics division. For several years now, analysts have suggested that AMD's acquisition of Toronto-based ATI was a distraction, and likely to bring down both companies. In the past twelve months, though, the graphics division has been surprisingly resilient. This, despite all the soap opera shenanigans that have plagued AMD--the latest being Hector Ruiz's resignation as chairman of Global Foundries (the former AMD fab business), due to the Galleon Group insider trading scandal .
As the CPU division was forced to ship underperforming products that often sucked too much power, the graphics guys were kicking serious ass. The Radeon HD 4000 series GPUs weren't the fastest you could buy, but they did have the best price/performance and forced Nvidia into an unanticipated price war. ATI then delivered the Radeon HD 5800 series, which proved to be the fastest GPUs available on the market. AMD has been selling all the 5800s they can manufacture, and would likely sell even more, if it weren't for yield issues with TSMC's 40nm manufacturing process.
Even with the successes on the graphics side, AMD still seemed like a bifurcated company: CPUs on one side, graphics on the other, with some platform (chipset) technologies the only link. Now, however, AMD is positioning itself as the only company with a unified approach to GPUs and CPUs. Nvidia, AMD notes, is only a GPU company while Intel is still only strong on the CPU side.
We've heard inklings of this, with the earlier announcements of its Fusion CPU, a melding of graphics functionality onto the CPU die. Now, however, AMD is taking its approach to CPUs–the melding of graphics and central processing–and applying that idea to its overall corporate strategy. AMD is trying to position itself not as a GPU or CPU company–instead, it's a single company with feet planted firmly in both sides of the computational equation. Only AMD, with its expertise in building CPUs and GPUs, can really take advantage of the coming age of visual computing.
It's about time.
To be sure, it's a risky approach. Trying to excel in both arenas may simply result in creating mediocre products. On the other hand, the strategy plays to AMD's last real strength. Intel is struggling to get Larrabee out the door. Its current integrated graphics products are an also-ran compared to AMD and Nvidia's chipset-level graphics. Nvidia, meanwhile, can't get its Fermi architecture out the door, and continues its ongoing verbal and legal tussle with Intel.
So AMD has an opening it can exploit, however small and tenuous. Whether or not AMD will be successful depends entirely on execution at this point. On one side, AMD has a world class GPU design team which has been firing on all cylinders. On the other side, the CPU designs have been… less than competitive. AMD has had a poor track record in picking a strategy, then executing a product plan based on that strategy. It's attempting something new, melding a CPU organization and a GPU team into one focused organization. Will the company pull it off? Or will we look back on AMD two years from now and wonder what happened?
I'm hoping AMD will pull it off, because I want multiple companies competing in both the CPU and GPU space. It's competition that will drive creative and cool products, while consumers will benefit from reasonable price structures. But the stars are not necessarily aligned, and AMD's competitors on both sides of its house are behemoth by comparison. Success, if it comes at all, will be a tough slog.

A police officer fired through a wardrobe door to wound a man after he threatened them with a gun.
William Hartley suffered gunshot wounds to his right hand and forearm and was arrested at the Otaki home during the incident in February last year.
His cocked rifle was found fully loaded with eight rounds including one in the breach.
Following an investigation into the incident the Independent Police Conduct Authority (IPCA) today said police were justified in shooting Hartley.
However, it criticised police for not wearing ballistic body armour while carrying firearms and failing to update update the National Intelligence Application to include reference to Hartley's unconfirmed possession and access to firearms.
The shooting followed a complaint by a woman who called for help after a domestic assault on February 14 about 10.30am.
The woman alleged that Hartley had assaulted her and left her on the side of the road in Levin. She alleged that Hartley had threatened to shoot her and had access to firearms although she had not seen them.
The information was not recorded by police in the intelligence application. The woman was interviewed while police tried unsuccessfully to catch Hartley.
After monitoring his home for over a week four police carrying firearms and a Taser were sent to try and find him again. About 1.20am on February 24 they advised the central communications centre they planned to raid his home. They were not wearing ballistic body armour.
Through a gap in the curtains police saw Hartley leave the lounge and walk down the hallway towards the rear of the house. At the same time police arrested another person at the home for obstructing their entry.
By the time police got inside the house Hartley had barricaded himself in a bedroom using furniture and, despite repeated requests, refused to come out.
An officer could see Hartley through a hole in a the door standing in the centre of the room ''apparently unarmed and posing no obvious threat''.
A short time later police forced their way into the room after an officer saw Hartley ''make movements'' which led him believe he was going to hurt himself.
As they entered the room he ''partially secreted'' himself in a wardrobe and produced a gun which he pointed at one officer, who retreated from the room and drew his gun.
Hartley switched his attention to another officer who ''saw the rifle barrel pointing at him from a distance of about two metres, drew his Glock pistol and fired two rounds through the wardrobe door''.
In his findings IPCA chairman Judge Sir David Carruthers said police had ''complied with the law and had used sound judgment''.
"The officer was justified in using force to defend himself and the force was not excessive in the circumstances," Sir David said.
He recommended all staff be reminded of police policy and their obligation to wear the armour when carrying guns.
Hartley was found guilty of two charges of using a firearm against a police and sentenced to four years' imprisonment in August.

My Lesson in Hospitality
By: Deacon David Reardon | Deacon Digest/Abbey Press
As a part of our diaconal formation program in the Diocese of Venice-in-Florida, we were asked to attend a Mass in another Roman Catholic community in which we had no experience. My wife Mary and I chose to attend the Vietnamese Mass at St. John XXIII Parish in Fort Myers. The Mass is celebrated on Saturday evenings at 8:00 p.m.DOWNLOAD THE BULLETIN
My initial concerns were that I knew nothing about the Vietnamese culture, language, sensibility, or spirituality. It seemed intimidating and disorienting to plant ourselves in the midst of this group unannounced. I didn't know what to expect. How would we be seen and viewed? What would they make of us suddenly entering their community as complete strangers?
Walking from the parking lot to the church were the young and the old. Most had clearly taken time to dress well for the occasion; it was clear they cared about this time, which seemed to suggest this was an important occasion in their lives. It also suggested to me that—like many immigrants to this country—they appeared to have integrated enough into American society that they were achieving some degree of material success.
Why did the Mass begin at 8:00 p.m.? Many Vietnamese are small business owners, many keeping their shops open until 7:00 p.m. on Saturday evenings. They have come to this country to work. As we would see, they had come there that evening to worship and give thanks to the Lord with equal enthusiasm.
We walked somewhat hurriedly and nervously through the Narthex into the church. I felt the urge to steer toward the rear of the church so that I might have a broader perspective from which to view the Mass, the congregation, and the choir. However, it seemed Mary and I both realized simultaneously and without speaking that it would be much more important to seat ourselves within the middle of the people in order to participate in the Mass with them, as we would any other Mass in any other congregation.
As we found our place, a cantor in the middle of the congregation began to lead a chanted prayer. It was a long, beautiful prayer, more than 10 verses with a refrain/chorus between each verse. I soon discovered this chant was a glimpse into the style of the Mass which was largely chanted in this same lilting melody. (I later learned this form of chant is unique to Vietnamese worship and is called Doc kinh, "praying with devotion.")
The Mass proceeded in Vietnamese and, of course, I could understand nothing. However, the beauty of the Catholic Mass is that I could follow the prayers often saying them inaudibly to myself.
People are the same everywhere. As I periodically scanned the congregation, I noticed grandparents with their grandchildren. The grandfather, appearing stern and intolerant of the young child's restlessness, with the grandmother being more nurturing and understanding. There were families with young children showing expressions of physical affection toward their parents with frequent hugs. Three generations would be together in many pews. The family structure seemed close and attentive to one another.
The priest continued with the chant through the Mass, as did the respondents. Much of the music offered by the choir was this same heavenly lilting chant. Many of the choir members stood with arms folded across their chests. I began to look around and noticed that others in the congregation had assumed similar postures. Perhaps it signifies contentment or rest, maybe rest in the Lord.
The Readings and Psalmody were in Vietnamese. Following the Gospel, the priest left the ambo and moved down the steps of the altar to address a group of children in the first few pews. I was surprised he delivered his homily to them in English. It was brief, somewhat simple, and direct in its style and delivery. He seemed to conclude and paused momentarily before addressing the larger congregation in Vietnamese for a longer and (apparently) more developed homily.
As I observed the priest delivering his homily in two languages, it occurred to me what dedication this man has to serve our Lord. He has not only dedicated his life to serving God as a priest, but he has come to a foreign land, entered a foreign seminary, studied in a second language, and now cares enough about his own community to serve them in two languages. I know how difficult and challenging it has been for me to pursue the diaconate in my home country and native tongue—I have utmost respect for this priest.
The entire experience spoke to me of the power of song and melody as a universal means of expressing our love of God and a powerful means to convey a believer's sense of awe and wonder of the Lord to others: "Sing praise, play music; proclaim his wondrous deeds! Glory in his holy name; rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord!" (Psalm 105:1-3). The entire liturgy was enveloped in these otherworldly melodies that spoke very clearly of the supreme sanctity, goodness, love, and mercy of God. At the sign of peace, all around us embraced us with warm smiles and gentle greetings. We felt truly accepted by this community. We were welcomed with unspoken hospitality as strangers in a foreign land would have been welcomed by observant Israelites in ancient Israel.
Christ's presence at the consecration was clearly experienced by all. As we approached the Extraordinary Minister to receive our Lord in Holy Communion, he offered us Jesus in English, proclaiming, "The Body of Christ." This struck me as another sign of a very welcoming attitude. He accommodated our needs by modifying his behavior in an act of charity.
As a result of this experience, what had begun in trepidation and self-consciousness has allowed me to reflect on the importance of hospitality as an integral element to any ministerial activity. It will be important for me to be more mindful of this important part of mission. By prayer, petition, and practice, it is my desire to grow in this area. This experience has shown me that the Catholic Church is truly universal. Despite the barriers of human language, the language of God, His presence, and movement in his Spirit were active and present in this liturgy. It has also highlighted the importance and beauty of enculturation. The Mass was the "same" and yet elements of the Vietnamese culture have been respected and maintained in a way that does not detract from the Roman Rite, but also I believe truly enriches it. At the same time, a people of faith coming from their unique cultural perspective have been allowed to preserve the dignity of their liturgical heritage.

I got an email from Viator, a travel app, detailing a day trip from Barcelona to the Costa Brava. So I wrote down all the names of the places they would visit on this tour and off we went. The first place we drove into was called Calella de Palafrugell. They described it as a small coastal town, postcard perfect and to have your cameras ready to capture all the bobbing boats in the harbour. Well they were right, its very picturesque and ...

On day one by 1pm we'd only done three! We left at 9am and got back at 7.30pm slightly jaded but having had a great day. Some of the ...

To the old phrase " only mad dogs and Englishman go out in the midday sun", you may add KNBC cyclists. We headed off from Argele sur mer about 8 and headed down the coast.

Just after we crossed the border we took the alternate route to avoid a tunnel which involved the ...

Jordan Albert
/ Sport
JORDAN Albert and Diego Borrelli's best performances of the season were the highlight of a tough weekend for Chipping Norton's SW Racing at Brands Hatch.
Britain's Albert finished sixth and Venezuelan Borrelli seventh in the final race of the meeting, but Nicolas Beer had to return home to Denmark for family reasons following round five.
Beer lost an 11th place result in that race after being handed a penalty.
"It's been a tough weekend, but all three guys did a good job overall and it was fantastic to see Diego and Jordan come through so well to take their best finishes yet," said SWR team owner Sean Walkinshaw.
"Race three showed if they can qualify well, they both have the pace to run with the leaders.
"We're taking a lot of positives forward to the next round after those performances."

You will learn a lot of technical skills depending on which group you belong to. Most people are very down to earth and friendly. They offer benefits and will match your 401K up to a certain amount.
This place does not value its employees. They will try to squeeze as much as they can from you and will let you go if they can. I know of several people who have been cheated out of bonuses or promotions. The pay isn't great, and even worse if you go through a temp agency. There also seems to be a tattle-tale culture. No real upward mobility unless an existing manager leaves. Learn what you can and leave.
Advice to Management
Treat your employees better, they are the ones who will make you better and look better. Also, Internal R&D is much needed.

Yieldmakes roughly 12 balls
1 cup almonds
1 tablespoon flax oil
1 tablespoon carob chips
1 pinch sea salt
.125 cup raisins
¼ cup sunflower seeds
¼ cup flax seeds
1½ tablespoon flax powder
Recipe Directions
Start by chopping almonds in a food processor until finely ground, add flax oil and salt, continue to mix. Add in carob chips, process until they are smooth. Transfer to dish, fold in sunflower seeds, flax seeds, raisins and flax powder. Roll into small balls and place on a plate in the fridge. Once they set, they are ready to eat! Enjoy
These measurements are APPROXIMATE, as I did not measure anything. You may need more or less nuts depending on how well it is staying together.
Mmmorgans's ThoughtsBy mmmorgans
I was trying to make almond butter but it just wasn't the right consistency, so I decided to add carob, and then all these other wonderful things….rawcolate balls were born.

the picture is so cute.. they look like little people... or little animals! ;)
I usually do but since I was attempting to make almon butter originally and do not have a dehydrator, I opted for unsoaked. I suppose soaked would work just as well as long as they were dry.
Now do you always soak your nuts before you make your treats of foods?

Mondelez Asked to Ban Unrecyclable Packaging
A proposal to Mondelez International from As You Sow asking the snack food company to phase out unrecyclable packaging received 28.4 percent shareholder support representing $11.8 billion worth of shares at the food manufacturer's annual meeting.
Mondelez produces brands such as Oreo, Chips Ahoy!, Trident gum, and Philadelphia cream cheese. As You Sow, a shareholder advocacy organization, says many Mondelez products such as Oreo cookies that are packaged in thin, unrecyclable plastic film, could easily be sold in cardboard packaging.
The proposal, the first of its kind to go to a vote, asked the company to assess the environmental and operational risks associated with continuing to use unrecyclable packaging and to develop a timeline, if possible, for phasing it out. Following engagement with As You Sow, last month consumer goods giant Colgate-Palmolive agreed to phase out most of its unrecyclable packaging by 2020.
This year, As You Sow also filed similar proposals at Kraft Foods, General Mills and Procter & Gamble, and a separate proposal asking Kroger and Safeway to develop post-consumer packaging recycling policies. An As You Sow resolution asking Dr Pepper Snapple to develop bottle and can recycling and recycled content goals was supported by 30 percent of shareholders at the company's May 15 annual meeting.

Across the 14-track selection there are a number of featured vocalists, from names we know and love such as Dynamite MC and Diane Charlemagne to international talents like million selling Belgian soul/funk singer/songwriter Selah Sue, The Times' "female artist to watch", Bridgette Amofah and US rapper Jimmy Jams. Kicking off with a storming intro in "Love Has Gone" the album progresses through future anthems like "The Whistle Song" and "Wanna Die For You". Previously released singles "Give & Take" and "Come Alive" are all live band influences and catchy vocal hooks, whilst old skool piano chiming "Get Away From Here" is classic Netsky with a twist, with lush vocals courtesy of Selah Sue. Elsewhere, "911" injects a bit of robo-electro-house and then there's the streetwise patter of hip-hop charged drama in "Squad Up". "When Darkness Falls" is late night D+B soul lushness, whilst "Detonate" is an incendiary heavy hitter and final track "Drawing Straws" provides a classy outro. Challenging the "difficult second album" concept with a genre-spanning panorama of uplifting melodies and exciting new tunes, Netsky -- "2" reaffirms once more the young producer truly is one of Belgium's premium exports. http://netskymusic.com/2/ Pre-Order Netsky 2 - http://bit.ly/netsky2 | Benelux - http://bit.ly/net2ben Subscribe now to Netsky on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/netskymusictv Subscribe to Hospital Records on Youtube - http://www.youtube.com/hospitalrecords Like Netsky on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/netskymusic Like Hospital Records on Facebook - http://www.facebook.com/hospitalrecords

Oak Park's Lou Malnati's not coming until early 2014
By Anna Lothson
Wednesday Journal reported in January that Lou Malnati's Pizzeria was expected to move into 1038 Lake St., the former location of Mancini's, sometime in the fall.
Fall is here and you may notice Lou Malnati's is not.
After receiving a few questions from our readers about the progress, I got back in touch with Mindy Kaplan, the marketing director for the company. Kaplan reported the new projected opening date in late January or early February 2014.
"Why the delay," you ask? Permits. Kaplan said the business just got the necessary permits from the Village of Oak Park to start construction this week on the interior demolition.
The restaurant group finalized the purchase of the Lake Street building at the end of 2012, along with the parking lot behind it. The restaurant group has been eyeing Oak Park as a potential location for years, and the 6,500-square-foot space will allow seating for 150.
For more on this story, check back with OakPark.com.
What Malnati's has to say
@JSnakenborg We had delays with some other construction projects we were working on and were not able to start in Oak Park as planned.— Lou Malnati's Pizza (@LouMalnatis) October 15, 2013

This story is misleading because the writer, while stating that the business "just got the necessary permits," fails to mention that the business "just applied for the permits." According to the Village (via the Village Board meeting last night, 11/4), Lou Malnati's applied for their permits on October 4th. The Village issued such permits on October 8th. Four days later.
Another OP Permit Story

Is the village swamped with construction permits right now? In this depression its shocking how long it still takes to get these permits through the village.

@Clancy. Spiro duped me too. Groupon should also be sued for not checking whether the business is legit.

What about an update on Papaspiros? I've been sitting on the Groupon for a couple of months and starting to feel duped.
Phil from Oak Park
Posted: October 13th, 2013 7:43 AM
Thanks for the update. And Bridgett's questions are excellent ones to ask about. Also, what's up with Papaspiros? They were supposed to open half-a-year ago, and still nothing. (And it's irritating they had a Groupon that sold out, and that's since expired, even before they opened!! Ouch!! But a good way to get some quick construction cash.)

There's a long list of businesses that Oak Park has lost due to the long protracted permit process.
Posted: October 10th, 2013 7:21 PM
Too bad, been waiting for them to open as they are hands down the best. They bought the building in 2012. So, yes, it would be interesting to find out when they applied for the permits. If the Village is THAT slow, it's no wonder so many businesses have left for surroundings towns.
Bridgett from Oak Park
Posted: October 10th, 2013 7:09 PM
Anna, do you know when Lou Malnati's applied for the permits? Maybe ask Mindy, "Is the permit process in Oak Park slower than expected? Is it slower/more difficult than other communities where you have restaurants?" Answers to those questions would make for a great follow up story.
Reality Check
Posted: October 10th, 2013 6:50 PM
There's no mention at all how long it took them to get the permits, only that they just now got them.

Again permits. We must improve the way we handle permits

Mariners make multi-year offer to catcher Miguel Olivo
Dec 8, 2010, 9:48 PM EDT
Troy Renck of the Denver Post reported Thursday evening that free agent catcher Miguel Olivo is likely going to score a two-year, $7.5 million deal at some point in the near future. Renck's source must have been on the contract side of the negotiations because he wasn't able to identify which team was behind that proposal.
We might have the answer now.
According to Jon Paul Morosi, the Mariners have a multi-year offer on the table for the 32-year-old Olivo. Might it be of the two-year, $7.5 million variety?
Olivo turned in a pedestrian .269/.315/.449 overall batting line in 2010, but he had a .325 batting average, 11 home runs and 42 RBI before the All-Star break and Seattle will hope that he can keep that pace throughout an entire season.
Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times says that two sides — the M's and Olivo — are still talking, and that a deal probably won't be reached by the end of this week's Winter Meetings.
UPDATE: Now the Tacoma News Tribune's Ryan Divish is reporting that the Mariners have not made an offer. They do sound interested, but this deal may take a little longer than expected to materialize.

Latest suspended minor leaguer is White Sox bench coach Mark Parent's son
Aug 30, 2013, 11:51 AM EDT
Once a week or so MLB announces minor-league suspensions for performance-enhancing drugs and they usually do so as close to 5:00 p.m. as possible. I'm sure that's just a coincidence and has nothing to do with trying to get the news out there after baseball media has checked out for the day.
Anyway, yesterday the five o'clock suspensions included a trio of minor leaguers and none of them warranted much attention at first glance. However, it turns out that former 36th-round pick Nick Parent, a rookie-ball catcher in the White Sox farm system, is the son of White Sox bench coach and former big leaguer Mark Parent.
Nick Parent received a 50-game suspension for the anabolic steroid Stanozolol, which you may remember from Rafael Palmeiro's positive test in 2005. Parent is a non-prospect, hitting .113 in rookie-ball. His dad played in the majors from 1986-1998, including briefly being teammates with Palmeiro on the 1996 Orioles.

If only Mark put as much effort into being a Parent as he did coach….any one?
- billgatesbarber - Aug 30, 2013 at 2:37 PM
Stanozolol, seriously? Haven't these guys figured out that this is one of the few PEDs that MLB is able to detect via testing?

Kris is a very knowledgeable attorney. He provided very realistic outcomes and was great in the courtroom. He was very professional throughout the entire process and also very responsive! Thank you for your excellent service Kris!
Posted by Jay
Kris represented me in a DUI case. I do not understand much of the law or how it works, but Kris made it simple for me to understand what I was up against. Kris fought very hard for me and my case was dismissed because of Kris' hard work and determination. I have never seen another attorney perform so brilliantly in court or with more professionalism. Kris is a fantastic attorney and a great guy!
Posted by JC
Kris represented my husband in a DUI case. He went out his way to explain every step without overwhelming us with legalese. Kris is understanding and smart. My husband's case ended in a victory and it was absolutely because of Kris' quick thinking and extensive knowledge of DUI law. I highly recommend Kris as an honest, dependable, knowledgeable defense attorney.

I was in a car accident in August of 2014. In late December I was served with charges of a DUI for marijuana because thc was in my blood, which was completely out of surprised seeing I didn't even get a ticket. I went to court and got Kris as my lawyer. From day one I could tell he was a good lawyer and confident in his work. I don't trust many lawyers and it was easy to trust Kris. Long story short Kris was able to get my case dismissed 5 days before my jury trial date. I highly recommend Kris for anyone facing charges. I know I will keep his number and pass to anyone I know. Thanks Kris.

I made a huge mistake while on vacation in Arizona and drove under the influence, it was raining and I lost control of my vehicle and ran into a fence. After spending the night in jail and returning home i was devistated and humiliated I had previously received a DUI in my home state and this was going to be my second charge. As I found out during my consultations with other attorneys was that unlike my home state who in comparison is fairly easy on drivers charged with even theyre second DUI, Arizona is much different and the penalties are much tougher. I hired a large reputable firm after they woo'd me and told me everything was going to be ok, they would take care of this and I would get out of the mandatory 90 day jail time by doing home arrest instead, I hired them thinking they would help me. Two months had passed by I was no longer in touch with the lead attorney who talked me into signing, I was passed on to another who told me there was nothing to fight for there wasn't anything they could do and to add to it the county I received me DUI in didn't offer home arrest the only option was to spend 90 days in jail. I didn't know how I would be able to keep my life together spending 90 days, I work 2 full time jobs taking a day off is a pain, 3 months would have destroyed my career. My gut kept telling me that I hired that I hired the wrong attorneys so I did my research and was referred to Kris, I am beyond thankful for finding him. He told me to send my case over and he would review it and give me his opinion, I received a call the very next morning from him, he let me know it was going to be a fight but there were some holes in the case and he thought a better outcome could happen. I didn't hesitate for a minute, everything was telling me this was the RIGHT attorney, it was so refreshing to have after dealing with my previous attorneys, he was honest and straight forward with me he also treated me with respect and made me feel like I was still good person Who had made a mistake and I really needed and appreciated having that support from my attorney. He was so knowledgable about the DUI laws in Arizona and found some thing wrong in the initial arrest paperwork, finally I had hope. Kris kept in constant contact with me letting me know everything he found, letting me know each time he spoke with the DA and submitted plea offers, he went the extra mile for me every single time. Finally I received a call from Kris telling me they took our plea deal and I was reduced to first time DUI, my criminal damage charges for hitting the fence were dropped and he had even included in my plea for it to NOT be reported to the MVD as an accident. What a relief I was now looking at 1-30 days in jail instead of 90 days but Kris let me know we were going to ask for minimum days so that I could keep both of my jobs and sure enough he got the judge to agree to my day being served the night of the arrest. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome he is a truly gifted attorney. Even once my case had finished I was having trouble sorting out my DUI classes because I live in another state and the classes conflicted with my work schedule without hesitation Kris went to bat for me again speaking to the judge about alternatives to help me keep my jobs. I am thankful everyday that I found and hired Kris, I know my life would be very different today had I stuck with the first attorneys that I hired. He is god sent, of your are in any trouble there isn't anyone else I would recommend, after this experience I truly believe your case is only as strong as your attorney and Kris is the BEST out there.

Mr. Califano, was a pleasure to deal with. From the start, my experience was very comfortable. I never felt I was talked down to by someone stuck to their professional title. It always felt genuine, treated and respected by someone who truly represented my best interest in a very humane fashion. Mr. Califano put everything in perspective which made it very clear what my options were and made my decision fairly easy as to how I wanted to proceed with my particular case. He was timely in proceeding with my decision and the outcome was a success. I certainly would recommend his services to anyone and I know he would appreciate my referral.
Posted by a client
Mr. Califano proved effective, professional and knowledgeable in handling my class one misdemeanor charge in Scottsdale City Court. He explained the charges, options and alternatives to me during the months long legal proceedings. He was punctual and effective in his interactions with the judge and court officials. While he was firm and honest during our discussions, he also showed understanding and empathy in what I found to be a confusing and intimidating experience. I attribute the excellent outcome to my charges to Mr. Califano's efforts. I would not engage the legal system without professional representation and I would definitely recommend Kris.
Posted by a client
I can not tell you how greatful I am to have had Attorney Kristopher Califano handle my court case. I was very amazed at how professional and courteous he was through out the trial hearing and surprised to see my charges were so easily dismissed. It was a great day for me and Kristopher and I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a professional, courteous most highly intelligent and well dressed Attorney. If you are looking for a world class professional I would highly recommend Kristopher Califano for any legal means necessary. Thank you so much for all you have done!
