Last month, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved amendments to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and The Nasdaq Stock Market (Nasdaq) to implement Rule 10C-1 promulgated by the SEC. Rule 10C-1 originally was proposed in April 2011 and was adopted by the SEC in June 2012.1
Rule 10C-1 directed the national securities exchanges to establish listing standards to:
The amendments to the NYSE listing standards, which are codified in Sections 303A.00, 303A.02, and 303A.05 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, are available here. The amendments to the Nasdaq listing standards, which are codified in Rules 5605(d) and 5615, are available here.
Comparison and Considerations
A side-by-side comparison of the amendments to the NYSE and Nasdaq listing standards is contained in Appendix A. Below are a few key points and considerations:
Changes from Original Proposals
Both the NYSE and Nasdaq changed the compliance timetable from their original proposals. They also amended their original proposals to add an exception to the requirement that compensation committees perform an independent assessment prior to selecting a compensation adviser for those compensation advisers who only provide advice in the following limited capacities: (i) consulting on any broad-based plan that does not discriminate in scope, terms, or operation in favor of executive officers or directors and that is generally available to all salaried employees; and (ii) providing information that is either not customized for a particular issuer or that is customized based on parameters that are not developed by the adviser, and about which the issuer does not provide advice. In addition, the NYSE amended its original proposal providing for a phase-in period for smaller reporting companies to meet the enhanced independence requirements for compensation committee members and to add clarifying language that the listing standards do not require compensation advisers to be independent, only that the compensation committee consider the independence factors prior to selecting a compensation adviser.
What You Should Do Now
For any questions or more information on these or any related matters, please contact your regular Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati attorney or any member of the firm's corporate and securities or employee benefits and executive compensation practices.

1 Our previous discussions of Rule 10C-1 as proposed and as adopted can be found in this WSGR Alert and this WSGR Alert. Our previous discussions of the NYSE and Nasdaq proposals can be found in this WSGR Alert.
2, 3 Rule 10C-1 identified the following factors to be considered in determining compensation adviser independence:
4 The commentary to the NYSE listing standard states: "When considering the sources of a director's compensation in determining his independence for purposes of compensation committee service, the board should consider whether the director receives compensation from any person or entity that would impair his ability to make independent judgments about the listed company's executive compensation."
5 The commentary to the NYSE listing standard states: "Similarly, when considering any affiliate relationship a director has with the company, a subsidiary of the company, or an affiliate of a subsidiary of the company, in determining his independence for purposes of compensation committee service, the board should consider whether the affiliate relationship places the director under the direct or indirect control of the listed company or its senior management, or creates a direct relationship between the director and members of senior management, in each case of a nature that would impair his ability to make independent judgments about the listed company's executive compensation."
6 The commentary to the Nasdaq listing standard states: "In that regard, while a board may conclude differently with respect to individual facts and circumstances, Nasdaq does not believe that ownership of Company stock by itself, or possession of a controlling interest through ownership of Company stock by itself, precludes a board finding that it is appropriate for a director to serve on the compensation committee. In fact, it may be appropriate for certain affiliates, such as representatives of significant stockholders, to serve on compensation committees since their interests are likely aligned with those of other stockholders in seeking an appropriate executive compensation program."
7 Currently, Nasdaq-listed companies are required to have compensation decisions for executive officers determined either by an independent compensation committee or by a majority of the independent members of the board of directors.
8 The NYSE requires that a listed company have at least one independent compensation committee member upon the earlier of the closing date of the IPO or five business days from the listing date, at least a majority of independent compensation committee members within 90 days of the listing date, and a fully independent compensation committee within one year of the listing date.
9 The Nasdaq requires that a listed company that has a compensation committee must have at least one independent compensation committee member upon listing, at least a majority of independent compensation committee members within 90 days of listing, and a fully independent compensation committee within one year of listing.

A Senate committee today unanimously approved a requirement that all handguns sold in the state five years from now be equipped with so-called smart-gun technology, computer chips or other features that make the guns inoperable by anyone other than their owners.
The vote marked the first time that a smart-gun requirement had advanced this far in any state legislature and was cheered by gun control advocates.
''New Jersey is on track to become the first state in the nation to require that only firearms that have been personalized for an authorized user can be sold in the state,'' said Sarah Brady, chairwoman of Handgun Control, the nation's largest gun control lobbying organization.
The vote came on the wave of widespread national concern about school shootings, like the one last month in Littleton, Colo., and on the day that yet another school shooting drama was unfolding in Conyers, Ga.Continue reading the main story
The Senate committee, as expected, also approved a bill today requiring trigger locks on handguns; it would take effect immediately upon becoming law.
With regard to the smart-gun measure, both Democratic and Republican supporters said that the requirement would pave the way for the next generation of laws intended to reduce gun violence and make guns truly childproof.
State Senator Richard J. Codey, a Democrat from Essex County and co-sponsor of the measure with State Senator Joseph A. Palaia, a Republican from Monmouth County, said: ''I endorse trigger locks, but that wouldn't have prevented the Littleton massacre, and maybe nothing would have. But childproof handguns can.''
Although likely to pass in the Senate, the measure still faces an uphill battle in the Assembly, which is controlled by Republicans, like the Senate, and has traditionally been more receptive to the gun lobby. But this is an election year for Assembly members, a factor that could persuade legislators to vote for the smart-gun legislation.
Should the measure pass both houses it will still have to be signed by Gov. Christine Todd Whitman. Although Mrs. Whitman favored trigger locks long before many political figures in the state, she has expressed doubts about whether the technology to produce smart guns has advanced enough.
''We have to look at that again if and when this measure passes,'' said Pete McDonough, a spokesman for the Governor.
Under the measure, which is slated for a vote in the full Senate next month, trigger locks would immediately be required on all handguns sold in the state. In three years, the State Attorney General the is could order that it be included on all handguns sold in the state.
The requirement could be delayed for two more years if the gun industry is unable to develop smart guns by then. But in any event, the smart-gun requirement would go into effect no later than 2004, Mr. Codey said.
The measure that was passed today had dropped requirements that many supporters felt could have indefinitely delayed the effective date or mired it in subjective considerations about the ''commercial viability'' of the technology.
Steven Morton, president and chief executive officer of Oxford Micro Devices, a company in Monroe, Conn., that manufactures smart-gun devices, said that smart guns could on the market within 18 months of the passage of the bill.
Testifying before the committee, Mr. Morton said there were about 30 patents related to smart-gun technology. They ranged, he said, from devices like the one his company produces, which reads fingerprints and compares them with those of authorized users stored in a computer chip, to radio-controlled or magnetic systems that match a mechanism in the gun with a mechanism carried by authorized users.
In addition to the trigger-lock and smart-gun measures, the committee also passed bills today that would grant sales tax exemptions and rebates up to $5 on the purchase of trigger locks and firearm vaults.
The intense political interest in gun issues could be seen throughout today's packed hearing. Early in the session, proponents and opponents of the smart-gun measure recessed and were closeted in the offices of Senate President Donald T. DiFrancesco, who reportedly helped hammer out a compromise that allowed the trigger-lock bill and the smart-gun measure to move forward together. Committee members returned but immediately ran into confusion about the exact form of the compromise and had to recess briefly again to clarify the terms.
Richard Miller, executive director of the Coalition of New Jersey Sportsmen, which is made up of gun owners who support trigger locks but oppose the smart-gun requirement, said the smart-gun measure was ''nothing more than a gun ban.''
Mr. Miller blamed Senate Republicans for allowing the measure to advance, predicting that it would hurt the political chances of Mr. DiFrancesco, who is expected to run for Governor if Mrs. Whitman wins the United States Senate seat being vacated by Senator Frank Lautenberg, who is retiring. Similarly, he said, Mrs. Whitman would be hurt politically should she ultimately embrace the smart-gun measure.
''Whitman and DiFrancesco are going to lose us as a base, all in order to pick up no one among the Democrats,'' Mr. Miller said. ''This is all foolish.''Continue reading the main story

Game blog: Brewers hold off Pirates, 4-3
The Milwaukee Brewers will try to salvage the final game of a three-game series with the Pittsburgh Pirates at 1:10 p.m. Sunday at Miller Park and avoid hitting the road on a four-game losing streak.
The first two games of the series have been ugly, resulting in losses of 8-3 and 10-2. Throw in a 9-5 loss to Toronto on Wednesday and the Brewers' pitchers have been beat up for 27 runs in three consecutive losses.
So, the Brewers will count on Mike Fiers continuing his run of excellence since joining the rotation in the absence of injured Matt Garza. In three starts, Fiers is 3-0 with a 0.86 ERA.
In addition to the game blog, you can also follow along with a live box score as well as our Twitter feed.
Pirates - The Brewers desperately need a good start from Mike Fiers and he gets off to a nice beginning with a 1-2-3 inning, including a pair of strikeouts and an infield popup.
Brewers - Ryan Braun singles with two down -- a come-backer that bounded off pitcher Vance Worley - and it touches off a series of four consecutive hits that produces a 2-0 lead. Scooter Gennett and Mark Reynolds delivered the runs.
Pirates - Once again, a Brewers starter can't hold an early lead. And, once again, it starts with a two-out walk. Starling Marte's two-run homer off Mike Fiers makes it a 2-2 game.
Brewers - The Brewers answer back with another two-out rally to go ahead, 4-2. Jonathan Lucroy and Aramis Ramirez single in runs before Ryan Braun is thrown out trying to score on Scooter Gennett's hit.
Pirates - Mike Fiers bounces back with a 1-2-3 inning. The Brewers lead, 4-2.
Brewers - Vance Worley also bounces back with a 1-2-3 inning. We'll see if these pitchers are settling down now.
Pirates - Russell Martin singles with two down but shortstop Elian Herrera ranges into center field to make an over-the-shoulder catch of Pedro Alvarez's pop fly to end the inning.
Brewers - With two down, Jonathan Lucroy strokes his league-high 43rd double of the season but Ryan Braun grounds out and it remains a 4-2 lead for the Brewers.
Pirates - Mike Fiers pitches a 1-2-3 inning. With a 4-2 lead, the Brewers are counting on Fiers to keep them on top this time.
Brewers - Aramis Ramirez and Mark Reynolds both take 3-2 pitches for called third strikes. They didn't think they were strikes but umpire Phil Cuzzi did, and his vote is the one that counts.
Pirates - Mike Fiers pitches a 1-2-3 inning and now has retired 13 of the last 14 hitters. Brewers still lead, 4-2.
Brewers - Vance Worley is going to make the Brewers work to win this game. As with Fiers, he has settled down and works around a leadoff single by Gerardo Parra. It's still 4-2.
Pirates - Another 1-2-3 inning for Mike Fiers, who has retired 10 in a row and 16 out of 17. He has shown he can go on a roll within a game. Retired last 18 he faced last time out.
Brewers - The Brewers put two on with one out but reliever Justin Wilson comes on and gets Scooter Gennett to ground into a double play. Still 4-2, Brewers.
Pirates - Jeremy Jeffress takes over for Fiers and pitches a scoreless inning, working around a one-out infield hit by Jordy Mercer. Jeffress has done a nice job with the Brewers, posting a 0.71 ERA.
Brewers - Gerardo Parra bunts for a hit with one down but is thrown out trying to advance to second on the throw past first base. It remains 4-2 and here comes K-Rod.
Pirates - Andrew McCutchen wins a 10-pitch duel with Rodriguez to sock a home run with one down that makes it a one-run game. Russell Martin walks with two down to bring to the plate Pedro Alvarez, who homered twice last night. But K-Rod strikes him out on three pitches to record his 39th save.
- Jonathan Lucroy withheld from lineup because trade talks 'progressing'
- Jonathan Lucroy not in Brewers' lineup
- Jonathan Lucroy in lineup; Ryan Braun out
- Jonathan Lucroy has right to block trade to Cleveland
- Craig Counsell wants Jonathan Villar to learn lesson
- Brewers look to take series from Diamondbacks
- Brewers place Jacob Barnes on DL, recall Michael Blazek
- Keon Broxton, Jake Elmore get starts in outfield
- Having to shut down Domingo Santana again 'a big setback'
- Jean Segura, Rickie Weeks return to Miller Park

Random House to release "Ebook Insider" ebook sampler in time for Christmas
For some reason it's an 5"x8" PDF. I wonder why they didn't just make it a website? It's already unusable on most ereaders; it needs a 9? screen. Oh, they're blinkered by the iPad, aren't they? (I had to write the screen size before I realized it, actually.)
If you look through the sampler, you'll see that most if not all the titles are already on the bestseller's list. These are titles that don't need the help to boost sales, and I wonder why RH didn't fill this with mid list titles.
I'm beginning to get the feeling that the RH marketing department came up with this without consulting the ebook geeks. Look at the ereader in the lead image.Obviously it doesn't exist, but just as obvious is the fact that it was photoshopped by someone who knew nothing about ereaders (and didn't bother to ask for help).
I want that ereader, and I'm waiting to hear back from RH on where they got it. /jk If you want to see the image full size, check out the Knopf DoubleDay website.

"AIG became the poster company for Wall Street greed, fiscal mismanagement, and executive bonuses — the taxpayer and economy be damned. Now, AIG apparently seeks to become the poster company for corporate ingratitude and chutzpah," they wrote.
"Taxpayers are still furious that they rescued a company whose own conduct brought it down. Don't rub salt in the wounds with yet another reckless decision that is on par with the reckless decisions that led to the bailout in the first place."
AIG got a $182 billion bailout, but former CEO Hank Greenberg has filed a suit against the government for what he says is a deal that forced shareholders to take heavy losses. His suit has already been rejected, but he is appealing it, and AIG itself is considering joining it.
Several other members have already blasted AIG for considering this move — Sen.

Tobacco Taxes:
Disparities in Rates for Similar Smoking Products Continue to Drive Market Shifts to Lower-Taxed Options
GAO-14-811T: Published: Jul 29, 2014. Publicly Released: Jul 29, 2014.

What GAO Found
Large federal excise tax disparities among smoking tobacco products, which resulted from the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) of 2009, created opportunities for tax avoidance and led to significant market shifts toward lower-taxed products by manufacturers, importers, and price-sensitive consumers. From fiscal year 2008, the last year before CHIPRA, to fiscal year 2013, annual sales of domestic and imported pipe tobacco increased from about 5.2 million pounds to 43.7 million pounds, while sales of domestic and imported roll-your-own tobacco declined from about 21.3 million pounds to 3.8 million pounds. Over the same period, annual sales of domestic and imported large cigars increased from about 5.8 billion sticks to 12.4 billion sticks, while sales of domestic and imported small cigars declined from about 5.7 billion sticks to 0.7 billion sticks. According to government, industry, and nongovernmental organization representatives, many roll-your-own tobacco and small cigar manufacturers shifted to the lower-taxed products after CHIPRA to avoid paying higher taxes.
U.S. Sales of Roll-Your-Own and Pipe Tobacco and of Small and Large Cigars, both Domestic and Imported, before and after the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) of 2009
While revenue collected for domestic and imported smoking tobacco products, including cigarettes, from April 2009 through February 2014, amounted to about $77 billion, GAO estimates that federal revenue losses due to market shifts from roll-your-own to pipe tobacco and from small to large cigars range from about $2.6 to $3.7 billion for the same period. GAO found that the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) has limited options to respond to these market shifts. Differentiating between roll-your-own and pipe tobacco for tax collection purposes presents challenges to Treasury because the definitions of the two products in the Internal Revenue Code do not specify distinguishing physical characteristics and are based on such factors as the use for which the products are suited and their packaging and labeling. GAO also found that Treasury continues to have limited options to address the market shift from small cigars to large cigars—which are differentiated in the Internal Revenue Code only by weight—and faces added complexity in monitoring and enforcing tax payments due to the change in large cigar tax rates.
Why GAO Did This Study
In 2009, CHIPRA increased and equalized federal excise tax rates for cigarettes, roll-your-own tobacco, and small cigars. Although CHIPRA also increased federal excise tax rates for pipe tobacco and large cigars, it raised the pipe tobacco tax to a rate significantly below the equalized rate for the other products, and the large cigar excise tax can be significantly lower, depending on price. Treasury collects federal excise taxes on domestic tobacco products. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) collects federal excise taxes on imported tobacco products.
This testimony highlights and provides selected updates to key findings from GAO's April 2012 report ( GAO-12-475 ) by examining (1) market shifts among smoking tobacco products since CHIPRA, and (2) the impact of the market shifts on federal revenue and Treasury's actions to respond to these shifts. GAO analyzed Treasury and CBP data to identify sales trends for domestic and imported smoking tobacco products and to estimate the effect of the market shifts to lower-taxed products on federal tax revenues.
What GAO Recommends
GAO is not making any new recommendations in this testimony. In its 2012 report, GAO suggested that Congress consider equalizing tax rates on roll-your-own and pipe tobacco and, in consultation with Treasury, consider options for reducing tax avoidance due to tax differentials between small and large cigars. Treasury generally agreed with GAO's conclusions and observations.

Purchased it after IRobot Merged with the Company. Compliments my IRobot 780, 4100 Discovery and my Scooba. The Mint has a Lower Profile Design and addition to the fabulous Silent Cleaning, after I run my Scooba on the Garage Cement Floor, I run the Mint Plus in the Mop Mode with the Dry Mop to fine tune the drying and cleaning process. Mint works GREAT on the Bathroom Tiles and gets into the tight corners that Scooba can't go (not 230). Today, I removed all my desk components and then ran the Mint which throughly and Gently cleaned the Desk. Since our Hardwood Floors our on two different levels, I'm thinking of a Temporary Ramp to circumvent the stairs. Any ideas? These Robots have changed my wife, Jenzilla's mind over the course of a couple of months in terms of how well they clean and pick up pet hair, dust and grime that our Electrolux and Shark Miss. This means Jenzilla has more Time and Energy for ME (Best Thing About IRobots).
I have great expectation about Mint, I really love my Roomba and after reading reviews about Mint it seem a great upgrade. But I found many issue. 1- Sometime Mint is completly weird (it seem stuck but robot is in middle of the room) after I start, I have to turn off and turn on. 2- I have a little (very little) "bump" for join floor between each room, so it seem it's too big because Mitn won't pass over and I have to move manually on each room, that's really :( ! 3- (second stage, 3 bedrooms) It seem if I use NorthStar I can't position Northstar correctly and Mint process my main room correctly but didn't go on child's room ! 4- (first floor) I use NorthStar on kitchen and it process kitchen very good but didn't procress more than 50% my living room. If I understand I need one (maybe 2 more Northstar +80$ Outch) when my roomba do it by itself. :( 5- It swipe one time ... no intensive cleaning it could be interessing ! 6- It seem not clean wall edge correctly, it didn't follow wall for cover all edge. So, at the end, Mint do a job but with many manuel intervention and I really dissapointed !
I've had this for a couple of months now. I honestly haven't found a problem with it. I'm pretty analytical and discriminating, and I think that if you think you would appreciate this product as described, you will be pleased. I use the Mint after I use my Roomba. I have an open concept home, and my kitchen, dining, and living room are basically one room of about 800 square feet. It handles the entire area with no problem at all - wet mopping (which takes more effort for the machine.) I read some reviews that suggested the machine gave off so much water that it would be bad for hard wood floors. I'm pretty careful with things, and I really don't see this as a problem. It is just like a damp mop and it doesn't get the floor wet anywhere. I like using it in the winter to increase the humidity in the house. (Also, our dog tracks a lot.) I think in the summer it will be sufficient to use the dry setting. As an experiment, I put it in the mud room one day, and the mudroom was literally muddy. It did a fine job. Super easy to set up. You can't set it to run at some future time like you can the roomba, but that is okay because the mint is quiet.
I don't normally write reviews, but I love the Mint Plus! I have very dark bamboo plank floors and they show every speck of dirt. This cleaner saves me so much time, and for that it's worth its weight in gold. I have used it for sweeping and it does a fine job, but I sort of enjoy sweeping the floors so I usually do that myself, then set the Mint up to mop. I have found it works best on my floors with a little vinegar mixed with water. If the sun is shining on the floor you can see the little tracks of the wheels, but if the sun isn't shining directly on them you can't really see the tracks. It leaves a beautiful sheen if you look across the floor. This is one appliance I wouldn't want to be without, and if it ever stops I'll be buying another!
I purchased my Mint Plus hesitant, but with high hopes. Once it charged we ran it overnight in the home to wake up to a very dirty swifter. After I saw how intelligently it ran, and what it did to the bathroom (See Below), I was sold. It became a daily norm to run Dobby and come home to clean hardwood and tile floors. The best thing about Dobby is that he is meticulous and covers large areas with two cubes! I always considered myself a clean freak, but had no idea what I was missing. His mop mode is fantastic, although even with the Proclean reservoir I often find myself refreshing the wetness after 35 minutes. A very small gripe compared to how much time he saves my wife and I! Best part is when we clean up spills the towel comes up clean with no dirt! After seeing what robots could do I bought my 780 and never looked back! Kreacher (780) does such an amazing job and Dobby compliments him so well! My floors are spotless and I gladly upkeep them weekly as a small thank you to all the hard work they put in! iRobot has a winner with the Mint line, and can not WAIT to see how the NorthStar I.P. is going to be put to use for ALL iRobot products in the future! iRobot has a customer for LIFE with my family! Thank you, and continue to progress your amazing line of robots!
We moved into a barn for 18 months in Eastern Montana, using the office and tack rooms as our living space. We laid an inexpensive wood tone vinyl floor down and truly enjoyed our time there, thanks to our little Mint catching all the pet hair and wood shavings that invariably come with sharing your living space with equines. It also effectively removed the 'gumbo' clay like glue that the mud turns into in the wet Fall/Winter/Spring months in this part of the world. Our 'wood' floor looks GREAT! I ran this little guy every day (sometimes twice) for the better part of a year and he made a BIG DIFFERENCE. Ran the mopping feature every night after the sweeping cycle. So quiet. Made coffee every morning in a clean room with a spotless floor! He hiccuped once when one of his wheel coverings slid off and customer service took him back and returned him within a week (to Eastern Montana!!!) and called to tell me that sometimes certain cleaning fluids can affect the rubber on the wheels and recommended the Bona products. The tone of my customer service rep was one of a friend sharing a useful piece of information with a friend. I've had no trouble since I started using Bona. I dilute the solution and a little goes a long way. Looking forward to using him in our new home! I really enjoy this product.
As a satisfied owner of other cleaning robots, I had to evaluate intended uses and a real need before buying the mint. I must disclose i would have bought it anyway as I am a gadget and robot freak. The mint works best for the hair, dust and small debris that stick well to the swiffer type pads. If you have large chunks you may need to pre clean and sweep with a broom, vacuum or other cleaning robot. Mint is much quieter in operation and can be run when other cleaners might disturb. Set it and go to bed or watch tv, etc.. The wet mop works well but with large areas you may need a water tank refill. I would say the Mint is softer when bumping into the furniture than other robot products i have used. Areas with lots of obstacles prolong cleaning time and cause some confusion as they do with all robot products i have used. For example, around the dinning room table legs and 8 chairs you may want to move or put up the chairs. The low profile allows the Mint to get under couches, end tables, etc., that other products can not do. Changing and removing the pads is very easy and quick. The reusable pads wet or dry go right in the washer. Battery life is good and I use the wet and dry both without a recharge. I would highly reccomend Mint for those who hate to look across the floor and see the dust in the sunlight and for regular, light or maintenance cleaning. Mint is not a replacement for deep cleaning, large chunks or spills.
This product is not great at all. It seems like a very good idea and promising. However, not durable at all. In a year we've had it returned and exchanged 3 times due to problems with the robot itself. Nothing to do with improper use, maintenance, or floors not smooth enough. We live in a small new apartment with nice tile floors and Mint just can't deliver. I am very sad because it was very convenient while it lasted. Now I can't have my money back because oh coincidence, my warranty just expired two months ago!
I bought Mint about 3 months ago. At first time, somewhat Mint did not work properly. However, after my husband set up the machine, it started to work well. Now, I love this small machine. Very quiet and effective. I use this machine every day. Pro. Easy to use. Con, Mint stop during cleaning for out of battery.
This product has been amazing. I have fought against dog hair with two shedding dogs in the house for yeats. I run the mint every morning before I leave for work. When I get home, I shake out the cleaning cloth and at the end of the week I wash it. I now have the excess hair in my house under control.
Wasn't sure this would really do a good job mopping my tile floors, but I was pleasantly surprised. I haven't used it as a dry sweep yet since my big issue is mopping so I won't comment on that aspect.
I've used the wet clean only once (was busy when the Mint first arrived), and I would definitely recommend this to anyone who finds mopping the traditional way too much of a chore. And my floor wasn't just slightly soiled, but was definitely overdue for a good mopping!
Have used this every day since purchase - I always felt the bedroom collected too much dust and now this little guy takes care of it for me. It does a fairly thorough job, it's low profile, but still can't fit under everything. It definitely saves me time on dusting our floors and since our whole house is tiled, there's a lot of floors to be dusted! Bought the 'plus' model since I wanted the longer cleaning time and shorter recharging. So far, it's great
We have nothing but laminate flooring (for health reasons). The Mint cleaned 1100 square feet in about 3 hours, on one charge. We've even mopped the kitchen floor with it. As good a job as with a handheld Swiffer.
Works better than I expected, and very simple and easy to use.
What a back saver. I have bought the i robot's in the past. I really like this machine. It will keep your floors clean, it mops lightly, but good if you keep your floors up. Don't expect it to scrub, just damp mop. I got a extended warranty from squaretrade.
I wish it wasn't so expensive, but it is definetly worth the money. Takes a couple of hours a day off my hands to tend to other things. I can even set it before I leave out. The duster works great, also with swiffer sweeper refills, they tuck in the same way. I wish the mopping had a bit more muscle in it but I run it twice and its cool. My cats think its a toy for them but it just gently pushes them out the way. It will push anything that doesn't weight much. Over all, great investment to save time.
Saves me time when cleaning. Just put the cloth on and let it do the cleaning. I'm just wondering how long the battery's will last in the gps cube.
Bought this to primarily clean our hardwood floors. It pushed the dirt around into pockets in corners and along the wall. Just was not very effective in picking up the dirt.
I returned to Wal-Mart, and they handled the return without any problem. Wanted to buy the Roomba 650, but they were out of stock so purchased elsewhere. The difference is night and day, the Roomba is working incredibly well so far after three days.
The Mint does exactly as you've seen in commercials. It's amazing how smart it is. I don't say that about most products, but you get what you see in the commercials. The most impressive thing about it, is that it does an excellent job of edge cleaning along the walls and turning along the edges of walls and chair legs. It almost acts like it's alive, like a pet of sorts. I think it deserves a 5 star rating and excellent marks on Value, meeting expectations and appearance. The reason I gave durability Good marks instead of Excellent, is because it is made out of plastic like everything else these days. Saying that though, the build quality is excellent and I'll see how durable it will be once I've had it for awhile. To sum up, I have only had the Mint for a week now but it has done an excellent job every time I've used it. To be safe, I purchased the Walmart extended warranty.

1. Re: TableView auto update issue in 2.1 and 2.2john16384 Apr 30, 2012 3:48 PM (in response to zmirc)JavaFX has a fundamentally different way of handling these kinds of updates, which may make it tricky to implement this in your current system.
In short, the way updates work in JavaFX for the ListView, TreeView and TableView is this:
Each type of View is made out of Cells. The amount of Cells is usually pretty close to the amount of visible rows and each Cell could be thought of to represent one Row.
Each Cell is basically a small piece of UI, that adapts itself to whatever should be displayed at the given row at that time. The updateItem method is called on these Cells to associate them with an underlying Item from the ObservableList (your model).
Let's say your "Items" in the Model are Person objects with a name. A cell implementation might render this as follows:
The example above will also have the same update problem as your code, that is, if you change the Person object in your model the Cell will not reflect the changed name.
private static final class PersonTableCell extends TableCell<Person, Person> { @Override protected void updateItem(final Person person, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(mediaNode, empty); if(!empty) { setText(person.getTitle()); } } }
In JavaFX to let the Cell know about the change, you have to add a listener to the "text" property of your Person object. This assumes that the properties of a Person object are JavaFX style properties. This is accomplished like this (using a binding which uses a listener internally):
The above will update correctly automatically whenever a Person's title property changes.
private static final class PersonTableCell extends TableCell<Person, Person> { @Override protected void updateItem(final Person person, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(mediaNode, empty); textProperty().unbind(); if(!empty) { textProperty().bind(person.titleProperty()); } } }
However, this means that you will have to change your Person object to use JavaFX style properties. You donot always have this luxury. However, there are other options. You could for example only support a "changedProperty" in the Person class, and have the Cells listen for to this, something like this:
Now each time you want to trigger a "change", you call a method on the Person object that triggers an Invalidation event. All the cells that are listening to this Person object will be notified and update themselves.
private static final class PersonTableCell extends TableCell<Person, Person> { private Person oldPerson; private InvalidationListener listener; @Override protected void updateItem(final Person person, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(mediaNode, empty); if(oldPerson != null) { oldPerson.removeListener(listener); oldPerson = null; } if(!empty) { listener = new InvalidatonListener() { public void invalidated(Observable o) { setText(person.getTitle()); } }; person.addListener(listener); setText(person.getTitle()); } } }
If you donot want to change the Person class itself, you could also do this with a wrapper. You'll have to experiment a bit.
2. Re: TableView auto update issue in 2.1 and 2.2zmirc Apr 30, 2012 8:48 PM (in response to zmirc)Thank you for answering.
It seems that you've worked a little bit for this reply.
The thing is that I already have 8 tables with different type of objects/items.
It's an university project of about 7000 lines, and I have just a little bit of time until the deadline. So, it's quite unhandy to modify now.
The interesting part is that what I was doing worked perfectly in 2.0.3. Well, this is why I was doing like that, of course.
Do you know why they changed the functionality in 2.1 and 2.2?
3. Re: TableView auto update issue in 2.1 and 2.2john16384 Apr 30, 2012 10:11 PM (in response to zmirc)I don't understand either why this doesn't work anymore. I donot know why it was changed (perhaps it's a bug).1 person found this helpful
Have you considered subclassing ObservableListWrapper to make it report the change again? Or write your own implementation of ObservableList (using the one from JavaFX) as a guide?
This is probably less work than modifying all your old code.
4. Re: TableView auto update issue in 2.1 and 2.2zmirc May 1, 2012 2:01 PM (in response to zmirc)After a few hours of "playing", I've figured out that the ObserverListWrapper is smarter in >2.1.
If you try to remove the object at pos x and then try to put it back at the same position, the list figures out that it's the same thing, so it doesn't do anything. So, I stopped considering this a bug. Now I see it as an improvement.
There is still a possible bug, or let's just say that it's a necessary functionality: I think the ObservableListWrapper should listen not only when an object (table item wrapper) is added or removed, but also when object's fields are modified. Otherwise, it's not really a fully functional and useful ObservableList.
But, if I send a duplicate of the object and I put it at position x (as the original one was), the list sees another object, so it fires the "NonIterableChange.SimpleAddChange".
So, that's the easiest and most efficient way to deal with table refresh at this moment. There are some other ways (for example the option you wrote above), but they take more time and understanding to implement.
Just by implementing method "public WRAPPER_NAME duplicate()" in my wrapper class and by passing it to the table.getItems().set(indexPosition, modifiedObject.duplicate()), the table will show correctly.
In this way I avoid recreating the table and making DB query, and also it looks smarter. Not very much, but anyway its smarter than creating the whole thing again.

Wildcard24 makes some great WoW-themed skins for OW, as well as some SC and Diablo ones! As usual Rein and Reaper win.
As you can see from the image above, wildcard24 really knocked it out of the park on these skins, making us yearn for some Blizzard-game themed events to come to Overwatch so we can see something like them. And there's a special one for everyone's favorite in WoW/maybe not so favorite in OW - Leeroy Genji:
He even got the usual pattern of official event skin priority right: Reinhardt must have the very best one, and then the rest can be whatever, with one or two standouts (in this instance Pharah and Junkrat). He also made some options for other Blizz games:
Seriously, look at that Reaper and Zarya! We need to get this Blizzard-games event thing happening right away! Definitely check out the rest of wildcard24's art here.

Cons: Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM failed after 16 month of light use. Their WD life guard software indicated error 0108 which the item need to be replaced. In checkdisk and diskpart cmd indicated HD cache was corrupted and the HD is not accessible. Since the item come with warranty as it described on the website i was going to make a RMA however, neither Newegg or WD will tell you that this item sold on their website actual have no warranty whatsoever. After one hour on phone with WD, their RMA manager finally told me that any OEM labeled product is not suppose to be sold because the warranty is void. After I contact newegg, they did not give me any response to RMA but submitted a petition to internal department.
Other Thoughts: Take home- Do not touch their product especially with OEM labeling. New egg just a way they running business together to dumb away their void products and hope they wont go bad within 30 days. I will not recommend any people buy their product-- a 10 yrs software engineer's advise.READ FULL REVIEW

Human obesity represents a serious world-wide health problem. One consequence of obesity is the development of insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, and metabolic syndrome that can lead to cell dysfunction and type 2 diabetes. It is therefore important that we gain an understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the development of obesity because this knowledge represents a basis for the design of potential therapeutic interventions. A significant challenge to understanding diet-induced obesity is the complexity of the signal transduction pathways that mediate the response. Indeed, these signaling pathways function within an interacting network. Here we propose to employ a systems biology approach to understanding the response to feeding a high fat diet by combining physiological analysis together with quantitative analysis of the signal transduction networks and the genomic response. This analysis requires the coordinated collaborative efforts of several laboratories with complementary expertise together with robust data analysis and computational modeling. We will focus our analysis on the liver. The overall goal of this research program is to understand the mechanism of the hepatic response to diet-induced obesity. Achievement of the goals of this proposal will increase understanding of the molecular response to obesity. We anticipate that the successful completion of this research program will lead to the identification of nodes in the signaling network that may represent a basis for the design of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.
The Specific Aims of this proposal are to: 1. Examine the hepatic response to feeding a high fat diet. 2. Integrate data analysis using computational modeling. 3. Test predictions obtained from computational modeling.
Metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes are serious diseases that have a profound impact on the health of many Americans;it is essential that we develop new treatment options for these diseases. The purpose of this research proposal is to perform a systems biology analysis of the hepatic response to diet-induced obesity. We anticipate that this information will provide a basis for the design of novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.

Title: Name of Organization
Description: This describes the website and should note distinguishing features found on the site.
Sites dedicated to one specific NBA player should be submitted to the appropriate section in Sports/Basketball/Players through the convenient alphabetical access. Such listings will also appear as @links in the Professional section.
Designed to help grow the sport of basketball both domestically and internationally, the NBDL offers players the opportunity to develop their talent in a highly competitive atmosphere under the NBA's umbrella.
In addition to being a source of on-court talent for the NBA's 29 teams, the NBDL will also serve as a diverse human resources pool for the NBA and its teams by training employees in management, operations, public relations, sales and marketing positions in each NBDL city.
NBDL players must be 20 years of age or older to play in the league. NBDL teams do not have a direct affiliation with specific NBA teams. Development league players are eligible to play for any NBA team.

"Basketball without Borders is well established as the NBA's innovative global program and further demonstrates the commitment of the NBA family, its teams, players and coaching staff in reaching out to communities worldwide through NBA Cares," said Kathleen Behrens, Senior Vice President, NBA Community & Player Programs. "Together with FIBA and our marketing partners' commitment to social responsibility, these camps exemplify the concept of using basketball to achieve a greater goal of influencing social change around the world and we are proud to be returning to Africa for the fifth time."
"Working as a camp coach for last year's Basketball without Borders Africa was a life-changing experience for me," said Chicago Bulls guard Chris Duhon, who will participate this year in the Asia and Europe camps. "Every NBA player should take the opportunity to participate in this program as it not only builds hope and aspirations for the young campers but touches the lives of so many people and communities in need."
Congo-native Dikembe Mutombo, who earlier this year received special recognition during the State of the Union Address in the United States for his charitable work, will make his fifth consecutive trip to South Africa. "Basketball without Borders encapsulates the best of what the NBA can offer in terms of using its players as positive role models while giving back to communities in need," said Mutombo. "It is a privilege – and a testament to the success of the program - that we are once again returning to South Africa."
BWB Marketing partners include South African Airways, Spalding and Sprite. The camp will unite the top young basketball players (ages 19 & under) from across the region to take part in basketball instruction and competition. Camp participants are selected by FIBA and participating basketball federations based on their basketball skills, leadership abilities and dedication to the sport. To promote friendship and diversity, the campers will be divided into teams without regard to race and nationality. They also will participate in motivational and life-skills seminars that promote education, leadership, character development, and healthy living with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention.
The camp will also be highlighted by extensive community outreach with efforts culminating in an NBA Cares Legacy Project. Through Basketball without Borders, the NBA and its partners have created 26 places around the world where families and children can live, learn or play.
"FIBA is proud of its successful partnership with the NBA for Basketball without Borders, an ambitious program that helps to promote the sport of basketball," said FIBA Development Director Zoran Radovi?. "We are thrilled to return to South Africa, where they have graciously hosted the camp since 2003. We are proud to work again with Mutombo, who has played a decisive role in making this project a success from the start. He will be joined by a myriad of talented and renowned players and coaches who will act as exceptional camp instructors."
Mutombo will be joined by San Antonio Spurs forward Bruce Bowen, Charlotte Bobcats center Primoz Brezec, Atlanta Hawks guard-forward Josh Childress, Orlando Magic forward Pat Garrity, Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman, Phoenix Suns center Sean Marks, Memphis Grizzlies forward Mike Miller, New Jersey Nets forward Bostjan Nachbar, Charlotte Bobcats forward Emeka Okafor, New York Knicks forward Malik Rose, and former NBA players Steve Smith and Jim Jackson, who will be making his third visit to South Africa.
Other NBA participants include Bill Branch (Denver Nuggets), Hank Egan (Cleveland Cavaliers), Harold Ellis (Atlanta Hawks), Alex English (Toronto Raptors), David Griffin (Phoenix Suns), Melvin Hunt (Cleveland Cavaliers), B.J. Johnson (Houston Rockets), Tony Ronzone (Detroit Pistons), Frank Ross (Charlotte Bobcats), Chris Wallace (Boston Celtics) and Joe Sharpe (Charlotte Bobcats). Lance Blanks (Cleveland Cavaliers), R.C. Buford (San Antonio Spurs), Amadou Fall (Dallas Mavericks), Joe Toumou (Scout) and Masai Ujiri (Denver Nuggets) will once again oversee the camp as camp directors.
"It is with great satisfaction and pride that our country and our National Federation welcome Basketball without Borders Africa for the fifth consecutive year," said Vusi Mgobhozi, Executive President, Basketball South Africa. "This project provides a unique learning opportunity to the top talented players of the African continent, both on and off the court."
Since the inaugural camp in 2001, Basketball without Borders has expanded to nine countries and territories on five continents. The program has featured more than 160 NBA players, coaches and team personnel from 30 different teams as camp coaches and mentors for more than 1,000 young athletes from 100 countries and territories. This year, more than 65 members of the NBA family will take part, including more than 30 current and former NBA coaches and team personnel.
The NBA family and the campers have traveled more than 85 million miles and logged more than one million hours of community service participating in Basketball without Borders. In addition, the program has reached countless others through its community outreach efforts in each region.
Last year, community outreach efforts included the opening of a new US Embassy-funded dining hall in Pimville and a NBA Legacy Project consisting of a new kitchen, dining hall and bathroom facility at the Soweto Kliptown Youth Trust (SKY). NBA Players also made an emotional visit to Cotlands, a pediatric AIDS hospice for children in the suburbs of Johannesburg.
The inaugural Basketball without Borders took place in Europe in July 2001. NBA legends Vlade Divac and Toni Kukoc, together with five other NBA players from the former Yugoslavia, re-united to work with 50 children from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Slovenia and Serbia and Montenegro at La Ghirada in Treviso, Italy. In addition to Africa, Basketball without Borders Asia will return to Shanghai, China July 5-8, Basketball without Borders Europe will take place for the first time in Paris, France Aug. 6-10 and Basketball without Borders Americas will take place July 31-Aug. 3 in São Paulo, Brazil.
The following is a tentative list of the NBA participants scheduled to participate in Basketball without Borders Africa 2007:
Bruce Bowen (San Antonio Spurs)
Primoz Brezec (Charlotte Bobcats)
Josh Childress (Atlanta Hawks)
Pat Garrity (Orlando Magic)
Jim Jackson and Steve Smith (Former NBA Players) Chris Kaman (L.A. Clippers) Sean Marks (Phoenix Suns) Mike Miller (Memphis Grizzlies) Dikembe Mutombo (Houston Rockets) Bostjan Nachbar (New Jersey Nets) Emeka Okafor (Charlotte Bobcats) Malik Rose (New York Knicks)
