This is it ladies and gentlemen…the finals of the Superpark® 15 Video Showdown presented by Gatorade. After weeks of battles, the two top contenders are dueling to take the $5,000 first place prize. Despite the fact that over 5,000 snowboardermag.com visitors have voiced their opinions to date via the "Like" style voting, we still feel compelled to recap the process by which you can decide who takes the win for the Superpark® 15 Showdown. Below each video featured here is an icon which presents an opportunity to "Like" the corresponding submission. Simply click the "Like" button for the edit you prefer. Voting will end 8/8/11 at 5PM PST.
This contest has ended and the "Like" buttons have been disabled. Check back tomorrow (8/9/11) to see who won the 2011 Superpark Showdown. You can watch the vids at 300 pixels wide, or click the icon and watch them full screen once the video starts
Keep The Change
Eastern Boarder, the legendary shop behind the much-anticipated "Keep the Change" film has done it again with their Superpark® Showdown submission. By "done it again," we mean focused simply on shredding, rather than fancy editing tactics and post-production facades. In other words, "Keep the Change" keeps it simple with some of the best riding we've seen in an edit thus far. One of the reasons that it may be some of the best riding we've seen is because there's such a large quantity of it. Seriously, this video has more riders than all the other edits put together, and that's attributed to the man behind the camera, Mr. Colton Feldman; a top-notch guy. Colton was running around Superpark® as a man on a mission. His mission was to capture more riding than any other videographer in attendance, and in our opinion, he succeeded…triumphantly. Sit back and watch (in order) Peter Line, Pat Burgener, Ted Lavoie, Riley Nickerson, Parker Duke, Max Warbington, Ben Bilocq, Scott Vine, Seth Hill, Blake Geis, Sam Taxwood, Griffin Siebert, Blake Paul, Gus Warbington, Matt Belzile, Jeff Kramer, Ted Borland, Scott Blum, a sans-highback Alex Stathis, LNP, Alex Beebe, Dylan Dragotta, Tanner Davidson, Jake Kuzyk, Forest Baliey, and a special ender from the Shawn Farmer. If you like this edit, click the "Like" link…but you knew that already.
Though they may officially produce media under the Veeco Productions Moniker, there is no mistaking that classic Volcom style. Low-fi DIY documenting of insane shredding is what has made flicks like The Garden, Subjekt Haakonsen, and 9191 instant classics. In just 3 minutes and 20 Seconds, this video may encapsulate the best of what went down at Superpark® 15. From Farmer rapping at the awards, to Blum straight-arming the wall, to Ruiki imbibing edibles, high times were had by all. Too bad there isn't a "love" button below because sometimes "like" just doesn't cut it.
About Superpark Showdown
The Superpark® Showdown is presented by Gatorade. This interactive contest is a weekly video faceoff where two Superpark edits go head to head with the victor being decided by you, the snowboardermag.com viewer. The entry that receives the most votes each week advances to the next round. All told, there are 16 film companies in contention, each with hopes of advancing all the way to the end of the brackets where they will receive the $5,000 grand prize courtesy of Gatorade.

In its six previous years of existence, the BendFilm Festival has become well-known among the American film community for its commitment to presenting outstanding documentary movies.
Ever since introducing Born Into Brothels in 2005 — a movie that won the festival's audience award over any feature, and went on to take the Oscar for best documentary — BendFilm has offered one great "doc" after another.
The 2010 festival, which opens next Thursday (Oct. 7) and runs through that Sunday (Oct. 10), is no different.
Consider these festival selections:
With narration by Ben Kingsley, Sally Field and Ed Asner, The Desert of Forbidden Art tells a remarkable story about the bid for creative freedom in the former Soviet Union. A treasure trove of banned Soviet art, worth millions of dollars, was stashed in a remote Uzbekistani desert. Backed by a group of visionary artists, one man risked his life to rescue their work. Written, produced and directed by Amanda Pope and Tahavolar Georgiev.
Brutal Beauty: Tales of the Rose City Rollers documents a year and a half with the women of a Portland roller-derby league. From games and practices to the private lives of individual players, the film offers an inside look at an often-misunderstood sport. Directed by Chip Mabry.
9000 Needles tells of the travails of American Devin Dearth, who at the young age of 40 is debilitated by a devastating stroke. After exhausting his recovery options within the U.S. health-care system, he travels to China to undergo extensive acupuncture treatments. The Philippine-American film is directed by Doug Dearth.
American Jihadist examines the thought process of an American citizen who joined the militant Islam movement. Clevin Raphael Holt grew up in the ghettos of Washington, D.C., surrounded by physical and psychological violence from his early childhood, and with little hope for his future. Writer Jody Jenkins and director Mark Claywell explore how these influences shaped Holt's adult decisions.
Hempsters looks into the culture of hemp, regarded as one of the most sustainable of all agricultural products. Requiring no pesticides or herbicides to grow, and providing resources for thousands of products, it has nevertheless been banned by U.S. law since 1937. According to producer Diana Oliver and director Michael Henning: "We will show you a conspiracy of silence, juxtaposed by a fight against ignorance and misinformation."
Movies will be presented at five different venues in Bend and Sisters. Individual movie tickets are $10; a full film pass is $95. Order online: http://www.bendfilm.org

One apparent "Blues Brothers" fanatic has broken down the film's iconic mall chase, literally.
The talented Lego enthusiast built the Old Dixie Square Mall scene out of tiny Lego pieces, and even incorporated Lego versions of Jake and Elwood Blues.
The Australian builder and creator of Lego community website Bricktease.com, Duncan McConchie, made a frame-by-frame movie recreating the scene and posted it to YouTube. The video, which was published Monday, soon went viral.
"I have been a fan of the Blues Brothers since I was really young and the chase through the shopping mall has always been a favorite," McConchie said in a video about how he made the clip.
McConchie said he watched the scene over and over again to study every element from camera angles to costumes to the size of the sets and more.
He said the most "tedious" part of making the video was filming the glass breaking when the car drives through a J.C. Penney window.
The suburban Chicago mall featured in the "Blues Brothers" film was torn down last year, after 30-plus years.
"Although we will always remember the Dixie Mall as the location for one of the most iconic scenes in 'The Blues Brothers' movie," Quinn said, "it is time for this now vacant building to be torn down to make way for more economic development for the Harvey community."

In December, 1980, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the restructuring of the Winchester Group. This restructuring allowed Olin to better focus more of the company's resources on Winchester's sporting and defense ammunition business.
With this restructuring, Winchester's U.S. sporting arms business, which had been part of the company for nearly half a century, was set up as a freestanding operation. In July, 1981, it was sold to the U.S. Repeating Arms Company in New Haven, Connecticut, which now produces Winchester brand rifles and shotguns under license from Olin Corporation.

High-flying Internet stocks were among the hardest hit names in Tuesday's session, but according to SunTrust Robinson Humphrey Managing Director Bob Peck, the pullback is a golden opportunity to load up on a few select plays.
On CNBC's "Fast Money," Peck named Amazon as his first stock to buy at current levels.
According to Peck, Amazon's new Fire phone could be a sizable contributor to top line growth. Peck estimated that Amazon could sell up to 1 million phones, which, at $600 per unit, would be "about a 3 percent increase" to third-quarter revenues. Amazon dropped around 3 percent in Tuesday's session.

Foo Fighters Frontman Dave Grohl Thanks Fans for Banner Year
Dave Grohl recently took to the Foo Fighters' official website expressing sincere gratitude toward the band's fans for a banner year.
He started off by calling their latest disc 'Wasting Light,' "the most incredible album experience of our band's 17 year history," noting that in today's modern era of advanced technology, it's no small feat that a rock album, recorded in a more organic way, could make it to No. 1, grab a Grammy nod for 'Album of the Year,' and take the band around the world and back.
He reflected on the last 18 months for the band, commenting, "I don't think we've ever worked so hard at making an album, and it ever being so easy." Embracing the true essence of rock 'n' roll through 'Wasting Light,' Foo Fighters accomplished exactly what they set out to do: "From day one, the idea for this record was to make something completely simple and honest, to capture that thing that happens when you put the 5 of us in a small room," said Grohl.
He also pointed out the importance of recruiting producer Butch Vig for 'Wasting Light,' highly praising his involvement: "His [Butch] role in this whole experience is huge, and he deserves a great 'thanks', too. Not many producers would accept the challenge that we handed him. He's the best, for sure. Together, we made the album of a lifetime. Again." The "Again" is a reference to Vig's work on Nirvana's landmark disc 'Nevermind.'
Most importantly, he wanted fans to know that they are far from finished, assuring, "There are still more shows to play, more songs to write, more albums to record, for years to come."
In other news, Foo Fighters were recently announced as one of the headliners of The Bamboozle 2012.

Re: RPG:Champions of Geridarr
Kane had ditched his hydra at the stables, a curiously similar Draconian had taken it and put it in a pen, where it immediately burrowed into the sand. He walked past a noisy bar, stepping into it quietly. A man that seemed draconian, but with a soul crystal.A hulking giant stood arms crossed in the middle of the room. Kane walked past him and tripped over something, bumping into the giant, who didn't move an inch. The giant looked down and grabbed him hauling him up. He threw him away, Bishop hit a table, startling the people occupying it. The giant began to advance, pulling an odd sword from his side and revving the blade. Bishop rolled away from the strike, swinging his lancer at the warrior's legs. His strike was blocked by the warrior's blade, the sound of the chainsaws grinding caught everyones attention. The warrior spun his blade, knocking Bishop's gun away. Bishop pulled out his raging bull, and shot the man in one of the armor seals. There was an audible grunt from the warrior, nothing more.
Bishop rose, but was backhanded. his visor cracked his hud went out and his jaw broke. Blood spattered the inside of his helmet. He pressed a button on his wrist console but his helmet would not withdrawal. He reached up and removed it. the entire left side was pushed in. His nose was broken, and part of his jaw was hanging loosely, half of his teeth were gone, he couldn't see out of his left eye. He saw his reflection on a dark stone cup on the ground. He knew he was dead, it was only a mater of time before everyone else here did. Most of the bar was watching him. The warrior looked down at him, and Kane looked up. "Do it" he said, it hurt to speak, and he was barely understandable. The warrior stood silent, indifferent to the blood on the ground. He reached forward, placing his giant gloved hand on Bishop's head, and almost causally, crushed his skull in his fist.
"Someone clean this up."
Two draconians entered and approached the marine. "You will be coming with us." They tried to apprehend him but the marine threw him off. "Were going to need backup." Four minutes and eighteen failed attempts later ten more draconians arrived. They tried to taze him but he ripped out the darts and attacked, they tried again, on a higher setting and the twelve high voltage darts brought him down. They immediately were on him, beating him to unconsciousness. They hauled him away, one of them looking curiously at one of the patrons, as the corpse of the soldier the warrior had killed gave off a strange yellow smoke. The patron that the draconian had been looking at rose, and climbed the staircase to the bars upper level
Name: Flame (real name unknown, though he has memories of being called John)
Age: Unknown, estimated between 26 and 32
Realm: Superhumans Earth
Species: Human mutant
Appearance: (think Argonian from Elderscrolls IV Oblivion) 6'0" covered in dark grey/light tan scales. Black pants, with green "fire" pattern on the outer legs. Wearing combat boots yellowish snake-like eyes
Personality: Generaly quiet and reserved, tends to like to stay out of the spotlight. Fiercely loyal to his friends
Powers: Pyrokinetic, is telepathic, can hear especially "loud" thoughts and can read minds/"talk" to people Can usually sense people around him, unless they are say shielded, have a mental wall. Could fly, though this has been removed by the realm. He can also change between his lizard form and a human form. Human appearance has dark hair, medium length, and eyes are the same color, but normal pupils.
Weapons: His powers and anything he can get his hands on

Household Hazardous Waste
Many common household products are hazardous. If these products are handled or disposed of incorrectly, they can pose a threat to human health, animals and the environment. When these products are discarded, they become "household hazardous waste." In California, it is illegal to dispose of household hazardous waste in the trash, down the drain, or by abandonment. Household hazardous waste needs to be disposed of through a Household Hazardous Waste Program.
Information for the Public
Local Agencies and Contractors
A public agency that plans to collect e-waste at an HHW collection facility or temporary event must notify DTSC 30 days in advance at our Universal Waste Electronic Devices Online System for Notification and Reporting Requirements.
submit an annual report covering its activities during prior calendar year. The agency must also complete and submit Form 303 (A or B based on your jurisdiction).
Many cities and counties have developed programs to collect, recycle or properly dispose of household hazardous waste. They may also collect hazardous waste generated by small businesses that are exempt from regular hazardous waste management requirements. DTSC is the state agency that is responsible for ensuring the safe and responsible management of household hazardous waste. At a local level the management of household hazardous waste is overseen by Certified Unified Program Agencies (CUPAs).

Low profile keyboard?
"Low profile" might be the technical term for such a keyboard, but I believe they're more normally known as a "worthless piece of crap".
If you thought the netbook market was already flooded, Intel's recently-launched 'Pine Trail' platform means you can expect another new batch to come through. We've already seen Asus' take on Pine Trail with the Eee PC 1005PE - reviewed here. Now we have Acer's Aspire One 532h. Acer Aspire One 532 Acer's Aspire One 532: ' …
As per usual, there are many flavours of the 532h, mine comes standard with 160Gb worth of hard drive real estate, but it does indeed work with 2Gb ram. No idea what the review is on about, unless they used different motherboards as well.
Like the review model, mine does not come with Bluetooth or a 3G interface, however, 3G models are indeed available here in australia for an additional AU$70 or so. I presume bluetooth would come with that as well.
No biggie. I knobbled an internal bluetooth interface, as well as RS232 which I use on a semi-regular basis to configure routers and switches. This saves on the dongles and cables I have to carry, which is a huge help for me. And yes, if you're wondering, for me voiding my warranty is a sport.
Price however, is very different here. I bought mine for AU$349 (with the cashback offer), which is a lot less than the AU$495 or so (converted from 300 quid). That said, I understand the recommended retail here is around the $500 mark, which sort of makes sense, if it were not for the fact that many sell it much cheaper anyway.
Yet another yawn inspiring run-of-the-mill craptastic "netbook".
Where-o-where are the ARM netbooks we were promised o-so long ago?
Have the Wintel cartel managed to kill them off or are they still coming RSN?
On the subject of netbooks, I tried to buy a nettop on the weekend. Specifically an Acer Revo 3610. How hard do you think that was? They seem to be virtually unknown in Aus, the "Find where to buy me" button on the Acer website led straight to a 404 page.
The only places offering them for sale were the various "shopbot" subscribers of unknown quality, all offering the device starting from $570AU. Without exception this came with a mandatory copy of Windows.
Eventually I resorted to ebay. They have them on there coming from a seller in Taiwan for $320AU without the Windows Tax. It remains to be seen whether the thing arrives but I have seen people mention in forums that they have purchased these through ebay without issue so I will wait and see.
Why do these people make it so hard to purchase their products?
Just received my HP mini 5102 yesterday. N450 (1.66GHz), 1366x768 display (10", LED), 2GB ram and 320GB disk (7200rpm). Beats the acer one easily. Review it, you'll like it. Only one complaint: fingerprint magnet.
It came with windows 7 but that was soon replaced by Ubuntu 10.4 beta :)
At £300 you're kind of at the cross-over point between a netbook and a low end laptop. I bought a gateway laptop for example for 'er indoors with a widescreen display and DVD writer for £350.
At £300, I'm tempted to say it's a bit too expensive, I'd rather stump up the extra ca$h and get a laptop.
My earlier model Acer Aspire One was only £197 from Asda. At that price, SOLD, no arguments, but £300...? No ta!
It's a problem raised before on such forums... er.. fora... er.. whatever... as these in that one of the main ideas behind the original netbook was to produce something that was smaller, lighter and cheaper than a full blown laptop. I bought my own Aspire One last year as a clearance item from PC World and, apart from replacing the rather tame Linpus offering with openSUSE 11.1, it did all the above at around £170. At the £300 mark, I'm more likely to go looking for a low spec laptop.
The only operational gripe (aesthetically, I do wish these sodding companies would stop it with the piano gloss finish on such machines is it is totally impractical) I had about my own N270 based machine was the appalling arrangement of the touchpad and buttons, a fault that Acer still doesn't seem to have grasped with this bobbly pad arrangement on this new model. Other than that, and allowing for the fact that the review machine has a standard drive as opposed to my own system's 16GB SSD, there is little to choose between them. That being the case, I know which one I would choose and, since I already have it, I hardly think that I'm likely to change!
I've an 10 inch Eee (ok, no, 2 Eee's actually) and have found the 10 inchers pretty ok to use. Can't say anything about this specific model, I think lappies are like shoes, you really need to try em on first, but what I'd probably object to is the glossy screen.
I hate glossy screens.
Absolutely hate them.
I just purchased my Aspire One 532h-2Cr in Bangkok a few days ago. It cost the equivilent of £205 and came with a 250GB HDD & 1GB RAM, bluetooth was also included. There is no Microsoft Tax in that price as it came with something called Linpus Linux. This I wiped and replaced with Ubuntu 9.10 as soon as I got back to my hotel room! Just upgraded the RAM today to 2GB, a Kingston PC2-6400 (800MHz) module and its working great, so I don't understand why Acer in the UK has put, what seems to me, to be an artificial cap on the RAM amount in the system.
I would have liked the higher def 1280*720 screen, but that wasn't availible where I was shopping, and would have probably been significantly more expensive as well. As far as the keyboard goes, it is one of the best I've seen on any Netbook. I have quite fat fingers, but I'm able to touch type with out any problem on the Aspire's keyboard, which is more that can be said for most Netbooks that I've tried. Admittedly the keyboard on mine is an International one, not UK specific, so all of the 'problem' keys mentioned in the article are fine on my keyboard. As for the touchpad, I've never been a fan of this type of pointing device, so I'm using a Microsoft Arc Mouse with the Aspire, which works well for me. I'm happy to carry the mouse, especially as it folds up pretty small, along with me.
Over all I'm really happy with this system, especially now that I've upgraded the RAM and have Ubuntu desktop (not netbook remix) installed.

Now, we can't promise to build anything and everything. Some concepts are either too impractical or just acoustically impossible. And we can't fight physics. But it never hurts to ask! After all, some of the best sonic leaps began as crazy notions.
During the consultation period (outlined below) we will discuss what's feasible, what's not, and offer ideas on how to build your custom pickup to give you the tone and performance you're after. It's what we call fun. We're builders and creators, and we love a challenge. We also create pickups for instruments besides guitar, bass, and steel so you're welcome to pitch other ideas as well.
For inspiration, check out all the photos, drawings, and descriptions (below) of previously created custom pickups. If you see something you like let us know. If your custom order is based on a design we've already developed your cost will be significantly less than if we start the design process from scratch.
Ready to talk custom pickups? Here's how it works.
How to Order a Custom Lollar Pickup
First, send us an email with a brief description of your idea.
After we reply to your email, if it is determined the item can be made we will schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation with Jason Lollar to talk turkey. If Jason decides we can craft your pickup idea, he'll give you a cost estimate and an initial timeline to completion. At this time, you'll put down a deposit based on Jason's cost estimate.
Once we're clear on what you want, we begin the design process, which is billed at $200 per hour. Further phone consultations with Jason, if needed, are $150 per hour.
And then, once the design drawings and specs are ready, we take your concept to our workshop and get busy building your pickup.
A few final details and caveats:
- Please note that custom pickups cannot be exchanged or returned.
- If your project is based on a design we've previously developed your cost will be significantly less than if we require new design drawings.
- It costs extra for our team to play and listen to your custom pickup. For more details, ask Jason during your consultation.
- Our Custom Shop is for retail customers only. Luthiers and dealers should call our Customer Service line at (206) 463-9838 to discuss custom options including our rates for research and development.
- In many cases, we can work with customer-supplied products and materials, but not always. Please ask about this during your initial consultation process if you're considering this. Lollar Pickups does not offer a warranty for customer-supplied material or products, however.
- We don't have a standard turnaround time for custom orders since they are all so different, but be aware custom pickups take much longer to produce. But we'll give you a timeline on your project so you know what to expect.
- Lollar Pickups will never violate existing trademarks or rework the designs of any guitar makers. Nor will we build our parts into your existing cover.
- We only do rewinds as repairs, not custom orders.

College days have long been associated with ramen diets and budget-minded lifestyles. However, the sketchy, overcrowded housing often found around colleges doesn't fully represent the communities surrounding many universities. Nonstudents and students alike value college towns and cities for their vibrant arts communities and other cultural amenities, including indie film houses, live theater, concerts, and prominent guest lecturers, or even to live as super-fans of the local winning sports teams. These communities also tend to have traditional town centers dotted with historic landmarks, unlike the typical suburban sprawl.
Researchers at LendingTree.com looked at the top college towns in the U.S. that had at least one large university or college and a population of less than 500,000. This information was then cross-referenced with data from the American Institute for Economic Research, based on the College Destination Index, which analyzes more than 222 metropolitan statistical areas with student populations of 15,000 or more.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Friday's monthly jobs report changed the picture of the U.S. economy in more ways than one, showing the unemployment rate fell to the lowest level in more than three years and hiring was stronger than originally reported throughout the summer.
Unemployment unexpectedly fell to 7.8% in September, down from 8.1%, as a survey of U.S. households showed 873,000 more Americans had jobs compared to a month earlier.
The last time the unemployment rate was that low was in January 2009, the month President Obama was inaugurated.
A separate survey of employers, considered the key metric that Wall Street watches, showed businesses added 114,000 jobs in September. It marked a slowdown in hiring, after July and August were revised significantly higher.
Those revisions added 86,000 more jobs than originally reported in the summer. Stocks rose in morning trading.
Ever since the financial crisis, the monthly jobs report has been the most intensely watched economic indicator, but in election season, attention surrounding the numbers has reached new heights.
The Labor Department collects the data monthly, using both a survey of employers and a smaller survey of households. The two surveys don't always tell the same story on the first read, but over time, the data is revised to reflect more comprehensive information.
In the most recent household survey, the biggest hiring gains came in the form of 582,000 new part-time jobs in September. Workers with less than a high school degree saw their unemployment rate fall the most dramatically, to 11.3% from 12% in August, whereas workers with a bachelors' degree or higher continued to have a 4.1% unemployment rate for the fourth month in a row.
Meanwhile, the employer survey showed the health care sector added 43,500 jobs, transportation and warehousing added 17,100 jobs and restaurants and bars added 15,700 jobs. Manufacturers cut 16,000 jobs -- the second month in a row they've slashed workers.
The government added jobs for the third month in a row.
Commentators from both sides of the political spectrum were quick to jump on the numbers Friday morning as both a sign that the job market has improved recently, and that economic growth remains far too slow to pull millions of Americans out of unemployment.
Both points are correct.
Although the unemployment rate is right back to where it was when Obama entered office, the U.S. economy has still not recovered all the jobs lost before his inauguration.
Of the 8.8 million jobs cut during the recession, about 4.3 million have been added back. The Labor Department signaled last week that it may revise the job gains higher, but even so, the job market still has a long way to go before it's fully healed.
About 12.1 million people were unemployed in September, and 40% of them have been so for six months or more.
The so-called "underemployment rate," which includes people who are working part time for economic reasons, and those who have recently dropped out of the labor force, was 14.7% in September.

United States District Court, N.D. California, San Jose Division
January 16, 2015
THE BRITA PRODUCTS COMPANY, Plaintiff,v.SEVENTH GENERATION, INC., et al., Defendants.
ORDER RE: MOTION TO SEAL (Re: Docket No. 1)
PAUL S. GREWAL, Magistrate Judge.
Before the court is an administrative motion to seal portions of Brita's complaint for declaratory judgment. "Historically, courts have recognized a general right to inspect and copy public records and documents, including judicial records and documents.'"[1] Accordingly, when considering a sealing request, "a strong presumption in favor of access' is the starting point."[2] Parties seeking to seal judicial records relating to dispositive motions bear the burden of overcoming the presumption with "compelling reasons" that outweigh the general history of access and the public policies favoring disclosure.[3]
However, "while protecting the public's interest in access to the courts, we must remain mindful of the parties' right to access those same courts upon terms which will not unduly harm their competitive interest."[4] Records attached to nondispositive motions therefore are not subject to the strong presumption of access.[5] Because the documents attached to nondispositive motions "are often unrelated, or only tangentially related, to the underlying cause of action, " parties moving to seal must meet the lower "good cause" standard of Rule 26(c).[6] As with dispositive motions, the standard applicable to nondispositive motions requires a "particularized showing"[7] that "specific prejudice or harm will result" if the information is disclosed.[8] "Broad allegations of harm, unsubstantiated by specific examples of articulated reasoning" will not suffice.[9] A protective order sealing the documents during discovery may reflect the court's previous determination that good cause exists to keep the documents sealed, [10] but a blanket protective order that allows the parties to designate confidential documents does not provide sufficient judicial scrutiny to determine whether each particular document should remain sealed.[11]
In addition to making particularized showings of good cause, parties moving to seal documents must comply with the procedures established by Civ. L.R. 79-5. Pursuant to Civ. L.R. 79-5(b), a sealing order is appropriate only upon a request that establishes the document is "sealable, " or "privileged or protectable as a trade secret or otherwise entitled to protection under the law." "The request must be narrowly tailored to seek sealing only of sealable material, and must conform with Civil L.R. 79-5(d)."[12] "Within 4 days of the filing of the Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, the Designating Party must file a declaration as required by subsection 79-5(d)(1)(A) establishing that all of the designated material is sealable."[13]
With these standards in mind, the courts rules on the instant motion as follows:

text: Hi: With debian amd64 lenny I have circumvented the issue "dynamic linkage is also a headache in that the mechanisms used to find shared libraries during dynamic loading are not all that robust on Linux systems running MPICH or other MPI packages .................... for the compilers that use compiler shared libraries (ifort, pathscale), we use LD_LIBRARY_PATH during configuration to set an -rpath linkage option, which is reliably available in the executable." by compiling with gcc g++ gfortran, both openmpi-1.3.1 and a parallel computational code. With intel compilers (contrary to the time of debian amd64 etch and a simpler dual-opteron computer) I was unable to have them recognizing their library limf.so, although it is available at boot on the unix path. A mixed gcc g++ ifort compilation for openmpi-1.3.1 succeeded with two-socket mainboards, not with 4-socket ones. Unfortunately, the fastest executable (+ 40%) of the said code lists in "./configure -help' compaqf90 (Compaq Fortran 90, osf1_alpha only) f90 (Native Fortran 90, sgi_mips) ifort (Intel Fortran Compiler, v8+, linux*, sgi_altix) pathf90 (Pathscale Fortran 90/95, linux64_opteron only) pgf90 (Portland Group Fortran 90/95, cray*, linux*) xlf90 (IBM xlf90/mpxlf90/mpxlf90_r, aix_spx only) of which I only have intls, with th said problems. I must rely on this faster executable, otherwise, with limited hardware, I can't perform the simulations. Question: could you please clarify how to implement the above "-rpath linkage option"? Also, is there any hope to satisfy the f90-type compiler request with gfortran or other gnu fortran compiler? What I did is sourcing the path to the libraries at boot (calling from my .bashrc the intel *.sh file to this concern. "echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH" shows the path to the requested library but intel does not see it. Thanks a lot francesco pietra

- Phase III clinical data showed that patients treated with Selincro (nalmefene) were able to reduce their total alcohol consumption by 66% on average after six months of treatment
- The effect is maintained and even improved after one year of treatment
- Selincro has been shown to be safe and well tolerated
- Selincro has a significant potential for helping individuals with alcohol dependence in reducing their alcohol consumption
- Selincro is the first medicine aimed for the reduction of alcohol consumption in patients with alcohol dependence and it is currently undergoing regulatory review in Europe
- Patients with alcohol dependence are currently both underdiagnosed and undertreated indicating a need for new treatment approaches
- Alcohol dependence is one of the most burdensome diseases ranked as number 9 according to WHO
- The risk for all types of harms is lessened, and for most conditions, reversed with a reduction of alcohol consumption, both the overall volume of consumption and consumption at any one time10
H. Lundbeck A/S (Lundbeck) today announced the results of the clinical phase III programme of Selincro™ (nalmefene), an investigational compound for the treatment of alcohol dependence, at the 20th European Congress of Psychiatry (EPA) in Prague, Czech Republic. The symposium presentation included results from the three placebo-controlled clinical phase III studies (ESENSE 1, ESENSE 2 and SENSE). In addition, the ESENSE 1 study was presented as a poster (poster no. 710) by Prof. Dr. Karl Mann et al. Further details of the ESENSE 2 and SENSE studies will be presented at the Annual Research Society on Alcoholism (RSA) Scientific Meeting in San Francisco in June.
The results of the three studies support the efficacy and tolerability of Selincro in reducing alcohol consumption in patients with alcohol dependence.
"We are very encouraged by these data of Selincro, its efficacy in reducing heavy drinking days and total alcohol consumption combined with a favourable safety and tolerability profile. " says Executive Vice President Anders Gersel Pedersen, Head of Research & Development at Lundbeck, and continues: "We look forward to bringing this important and different medicine through regulatory approval to address this disease which has major consequences for the individual, families and for society at large. "
Summary of the results from phase III program presented at EPA 2012:
All studies were multi-centre, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel group studies of 18 mg Selincro taken as needed in patients with alcohol dependence according to DSM-IV criteria. Patients were instructed to take one tablet on each day they perceived a risk of drinking alcohol, preferably one to two hours prior to the anticipated time of drinking. Medical advice and support to enhance motivation and adherence were included in all treatment arms in the studies. No abstinence treatment goal was imposed.
A total of 1,997 patients were randomized in the three studies, 604 patients in ESENSE 1 (298 on placebo, 306 on Selincro), 718 in ESENSE 2 (360 on placebo, 358 on Selincro), and 675 in SENSE (166 on placebo, 509 on Selincro).
The primary objective of the two identical six month studies ESENSE 1 and ESENSE 2 was to evaluate the efficacy of as-needed use of Selincro versus placebo in reducing the number of heavy drinking days (HDD) and the monthly total alcohol consumption (TAC) over a period of six months in alcohol dependent patients. A heavy drinking day is defined as a day with a consumption of at least 60g alcohol for men and at least 40g alcohol for women. The primary objective of SENSE was to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of Selincro versus placebo over a period of 52 weeks in patients with alcohol dependence as well as to evaluate the efficacy of Selincro versus placebo at six months.
In all studies a wide range of secondary endpoints were assessed, including the proportion of responders based on drinking measures, alcohol dependence symptoms and clinical status, liver function, other laboratory tests and pharmaco-economic outcomes (not reported here).
In ESENSE 1 and ESENSE 2, Selincro was superior to placebo in reducing the number of HDDs (p <0.05 in both studies) and TAC (ESENSE 1, p <0.05; ESENSE 2, p = 0.088) at Month 6. In SENSE, Selincro was more efficacious than placebo (p<0.05) in reducing the number of HDDs and TAC at the majority of the time points and at the end of the study, although not at Month 6. In all the studies, the effect of Selincro as measured by HDD and TAC was evident already at month one and was maintained throughout the treatment period.
In ESENSE 1, the mean number of HDDs decreased from 19 to 7 days/month and the mean TAC decreased from 84 to 30g/day in the Selincro group at Month 6. In the placebo group, the mean number of HDDs decreased from 20 to 10 days/month and the mean TAC decreased from 85 to 43g/day at Month 6. Further, improvements in the secondary endpoints Clinical Global Impression and the liver enzymes GGT and ALAT were larger (p<0,05) in the nalmefene group than in the placebo group at Month 6.
In ESENSE 2, the mean number of HDDs decreased from 20 to 7 days/month and the mean TAC decreased from 93 to 30g/day in the Selincro group at Month 6. In the placebo group, the mean number of HDDs decreased from 18 to 7 days/month and the mean TAC decreased from 89 to 33g/day at Month 6.
In SENSE, the mean number of HDDs decreased from 15 days/month at baseline to 5 days/month at Month 6 and further to 3 days/month at one year in the Selincro group. While the mean TAC decreased from 75g/day at baseline to 22g/day at Month 6 and to 16g/day at one year. In the placebo group, the mean number of HDDs decreased from 15 days/month at baseline to 6 days/month at Month 6, while the mean TAC decreased from 75g/day at baseline to 27g/day at Month 6, with essentially no further decreases for both endpoints at one year.
In all three clinical studies the overall safety profile of Selincro was consistent with observations and data provided in previous studies, resulting in a total clinical database of more than 3,000 individuals. The most frequent adverse events included dizziness, insomnia and nausea and were mild and transient. The majority of these events had an onset within the first days after the first dose and decreased with treatment continuation.
About Selincro™ (nalmefene)
Selincro is an opioid system modulator with a distinct mu (µ), delta (δ), and kappa (κ) profile. With its modulating effect on the cortico-mesolimbic system, Selincro is thought to reduce the reinforcing effects of alcohol, helping the patient to reduce drinking.
Lundbeck licensed the rights to Selincro from Biotie Therapeutics Corp. (Biotie) in Finland. Under the terms of the agreement, Biotie received an execution fee of EUR 12 million. In total, Biotie is eligible for up to EUR 84 million in upfront and milestone payments plus royalty on sales. Lundbeck will be responsible for manufacturing and registration of the product.
Lundbeck holds the global rights to the compound.
Lundbeck has submitted a European Marketing Authorisation Application (MAA) for nalmefene for the treatment of alcohol dependence via the centralised procedure for regulatory approval in Europe in December 2011.
About alcohol dependence
Alcohol dependence is comparable to other chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma and hypertension in terms of vulnerability, onset and course.2 In Europe more than 15 million people suffer from alcohol dependence in any one year.3 Alcohol consumption is the second-highest risk factor for ill-health in Europe, after tobacco, and is strongly correlated with the risk of short-and long-term morbidity and mortality.4,5,6
The standard treatment for alcohol dependence consists of psychosocial therapy or pharmacological intervention in combination with psychosocial therapy to achieve and maintain abstinence,7 but the abstinence approach shows relapse rates as high as 80%.8,9 High failure rates have led to research into an alternative, reduction based approach. Reduction of alcohol consumption is associated with rapid improvements in short-term health status and reduced risk of long-term illness and reduction of alcohol consumption decreases the risk of morbidity and mortality in patients with alcohol dependence.4,10,11
About The European Psychiatric Association
The European Psychiatric Association is considered the largest international association of psychiatrists in Europe with active members in as many as 75 countries. Among its members stand leading experts in numerous fields covering the interests of psychiatrists in academia, research and practice.

Small businesses are using a variety of technologies to back up data, including some antiquated methods that leave the backup process incomplete and susceptible to information loss, according to a study from Carbonite Inc. (NASDAQ: CARB), a provider of online backup solutions for consumers and small and midsize businesses (SMBs). The survey revealed some surprising responses from small-business owners on how they prepare for a data disaster.
The data showed many businesses are using a combination of technologies, including external hard drives, USB/flash drives and CDs/DVDs, that can make backing up even more complex and compound the risk for data loss. Despite known risks, small businesses continue to choose a range of risky and unreliable technologies: 50 percent use external hard drives, yet 20 percent backing up their business data indicated they started to do so because of a hard-drive failure.
The survey found 42 percent use USB/flash drives, primarily because it is perceived as easy, yet only 6 percent believe USB/flash drives are actually reliable. More than one-third use CD/DVD drives to back up data, even though 62 percent feel they are inconvenient or risky.
"Although many small businesses are backing up their data, they're using antiquated methods, such as USB/flash drives or CDs, which leave huge gaps and vulnerabilities. These simple solutions may be relatively easy to set up, but they require ongoing supervision to ensure they are performing, and can distract from other work," said Peter Lamson, senior vice president of small business for Carbonite.
Further reading
"Small businesses are creating new, priceless data every minute of every day, and they can't afford to be unprotected. Low cost, automated and easy-to-use methods are now mainstream, so there's no reason for small businesses to be spending time manually managing backups, when they could spend that valuable time focused on their business instead," Lamson continued.
Small businesses stay competitive by keeping costs down, but when it comes to backup, cutting costs may mean using products with limited coverage and leaving SMB data at risk, Carbonite research found. Twenty-one percent of small businesses using online backup were using a free product. Since free online backup services are typically capped at 2GB, small businesses using these methods could be vulnerable to data loss. Some small businesses already recognize the limitations of USB/flash drives, which are often considered low-cost. Twenty-four percent of small businesses using this method noted USB/flash drives do not work well for backup specifically because they have limited storage space.
"Our study also found that one in five small businesses don't know how much data they have, so it's unlikely they have the right solutions in place. Backup solutions like USBs or free solutions may not back up all of a business' data, so a business must ration its backup or choose what they want to safeguard," said Lamson. "Small businesses need to ensure they use a backup solution that has the capacity and capability to keep all of its data protected."
When it comes to the time invested in and the tech support used for backing up, 22 percent of small businesses surveyed even pay for outside tech assistance. Notably, 40 percent of those who manage the process in-house spend more than an hour per week backing up their company data, with 6 percent spending more than five hours per week. Carbonite research shows only 24 percent have backed up their data in the past day, and 24 percent haven't backed up their data within the past week.

What a difference a few hours makes. I posted earlier that the Elektra One team was feeling pretty low when they learned that their demo flight was scratched for today. But it's all smiles now with the announcement that PC-Aero was awarded the prestigious Lindbergh Prize for Electric Aircraft Vision Award at the World Electric Aircraft Symposium. Calin Gologan, CEO of PC-Aero and designer of the plane said, "My surprise was 200-percent," when he had a moment to reflect on the award, following a surprising onslaught of photographers and well-wishers. He called the award "confirmation that we are on the right work" and reiterated his belief in the vision of transforming aviation using solar energy. "We are making future technology affordable," he said. Of course, he's still hopeful that Elektra One will fly before AirVenture concludes this weekend. But tonight, I think, Calin's buying.

Ntozake Shange
Poet, performance artist, playwright, and novelist Ntozake Shange was born Paulette Williams on October 18, 1948, in Trenton, New Jersey. She earned a BA in American studies from Barnard College in 1970 and then left New York to pursue graduate studies at the University of Southern California (USC) in Los Angeles. It was during this time that she took the name "Ntozake" ("she who comes into her own things") "Shange" ("she who walks like a lion") from the Zulu dialect Xhosa. She received an MA in American studies from USC in 1973.
Her many books of poetry include Ridin' the Moon in Texas: Word Paintings (St. Martin's Press, 1987); From Okra to Greens (Coffee House Press, 1984); A Daughter's Geography (St. Martin's Press, 1983); Three Pieces (1981), which won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize; Nappy Edges (St. Martin's Press, 1978); Natural Disasters and Other Festive Occasions (Heirs, 1977); and Melissa & Smith (Bookslinger, 1976).
Among her plays are Daddy Says (1989); Spell #7 (1985); From Okra to Greens/A Different Kinda Love Story (1983); A Photograph: Lovers-in-Motion (1981); and the renowned for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf (1977), which won an Obie Award and received Tony, Grammy, and Emmy Award nominations. The play, or "choreopoem," became an instant classic. Performed by an ensemble of seven African American women, the play is comprised of monologues, movement, and poems that together describe the pain and struggle women face because of racism and sexism.
Theater critic Clive Barnes wrote about the play, "This is true folk poetry. It springs from the earth with the voice of people talking with the peculiarly precise clumsiness of life. It is the gaucheness of love. It is the jaggedness of actuality" (The New York Times, June 2, 1976).
About her writing, the poet Ishmael Reed said, "No contemporary writer has Ms. Shange's uncanny gift for immersing herself within the situations and points of view of so many different types of women."
She also authored multiple children's books and prose works, including Some Sing, Some Cry (2010), If I Can Cook You Know God Can (1998), See No Evil: Prefaces, Essays & Accounts, 1976-1983 (1984), Sassafrass, Cypress & Indigo: A Novel (1982), and The Black Book (1986, with Robert Mapplethorpe).
Among her numerous honors are fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the Lila Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund, and a Pushcart Prize. Shange lived in Brooklyn. She died on October 27, 2018.

- More about Emile Henry
Emile Henry has been crafting artful kitchen ceramics since 1850, when the French company was founded in a small town in Burgundy. Today, it's still proudly owned and operated by members of the Henry family. The mineral-rich soils of Burgundy are known for creating wines with unique terroir, but they also yield the special local clays used to craft each piece of Emile Henry cookware and bakeware. The high-fired clay withstands extremely high temperatures while distributing and retaining heat gently and evenly. Artisans hand apply the glazes to create vivid color that looks beautiful in the kitchen and at the table.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Laci from Best stone ever!!!! I bought this stone because of the size and reviews,and I love it.I bake pizza at 500 degrees on the lowest shelf and it works great.No sticking and a nice even brown crust on the bottom.I now can make pizza just as good as a expensive pizza shop for a lot less money.Date published: 2018-03-17Rated 5 out of 5 by acadia49 from Love It! I was looking for a Baking Stone that I could wash after use and I found it! I used it for the 1st time last night to make Naan bread and it works great. Now, I will use it for many of my other bread recipes....Date published: 2017-04-22Rated 5 out of 5 by NCChef from Even cooking & Easy clean up This stone cooks items evenly and is easy to clean up. It's reasonably priced for the quality and size. I like the handles. It is heavy though, so make sure you use both hands to lift it in and out of the oven.Date published: 2017-01-13Rated 5 out of 5 by Lild3bbie from Beautiful and Highly Functional Bought this mainly for baguettes and pizza. Made pizza today and results were very satisfactory. No smoking caused by the high temp of my gas oven. And clean up was a breeze! I just waited until it was cool and just ran water on it and used a polyester scrubbie and swish! Everything came off so easily! And the results of our homemade pizza dough? It was slightly crispier and crunchier and chewier with more air- if that makes any sense. I didn't think it would be possible but this thing will be replacing my pizza stone and cast iron- as it is much, much lighter and easier to handle because of the handles sculpted on the stone. I just can't wait to try it on the grill!Date published: 2016-07-25Rated 5 out of 5 by HappyStaubShopper from Great product Great non stick baking, large size, love this pan, not sure about durability, hope it last a long time, so far it's been a pleasure to useDate published: 2016-04-06Rated 5 out of 5 by BreadBakerWife from Another Great Emile Henry Product My husband gave me the Emile Henry baking stone for Christmas and I love it. The stone covers nearly the whole;e oven rack and provides a large surface for big pizzas and other breads. The crust was excellent. It is great for reheating leftover slices of pizza without spillage onto the oven floor. The clean-up was so simple...a little Bar Keepers Secret and the surface looks brand new. The two side handles make it easy to serve with as well.Date published: 2016-01-06Rated 5 out of 5 by MaineMama from Finally, great crust! Love this baking stone, and I've only used it twice. I've been trying to achieve the 'toothy' crust on my homemade breads so characteristic of artisanal breads and have failed until I used my new baking stone. Love it!Date published: 2013-09-23Rated 5 out of 5 by PalmSpringsBaker from Emile Henry Rectangular Baking Stone Fantastic Pizza Stone! Large enough to hold two individual pizzas for baking at the same time. Produced an excellent crispy evenly baked crust. The enameled surface is the key to the perfectly baked crust.

Boreas Inn's Wild Mushroom Celebration is Coming Up!
August 25, 2008 by: Susan Goldsmith
The Kite Festival for 2008 has come and gone. We had a super mellow week with wonderful guests, most of whom have been coming here for close to a decade. Visiting with their families and friends who dropped by was great fun. The weather was fabulous the last three days and on sunny Saturday we spent a few idyllic hours with friends on the warm beach in front of the inn and I snapped some pictures. I loved the gigantic penguin kite!
Now we look forward to Boreas' 2008 Wild Mushroom Celebration to be held October 17-19. I finally bought a little Flip Video camcorder and when Veronica Williams, our "All Wild" forager showed up with some spectacular Wild Lobster Mushrooms, it seemed like a good time to film my first-ever video! I have uploaded it to YouTube and will try to upload it here! Excuse the wobbliness–I'm a newbie.

When I used NFSroot, most of the traffic was queries of file/dir existence and file/dir attributes, which are small, so a large maximum packet size would not help. Furthermore, most of the files accessed were small which means that the client could be quite successful in caching them for long times and the actual transfer (if the cache is emptied) would not take too long. I think that it is more important to think thoroughly the placement and exporting of the files on the NFS server. If you can manage to export a single directory which is mounted as-is by the clients and have the few client-specific files either mounted one by one or copied/generated on the fly and placed on a tmpfs (and linked from there), you can speed up the serving of the files, as the most accessed files will stay in the cache of the server. The Stateless Linux project from Red Hat/Fedora used such a system (single root FS then client-specific files mounted one by one) last time I looked at it. > here's a cute hack: if you're using pxelinux, it has an "ipappend" feature, > ... > I haven't had time to try this... It works as you described it. But even the first idea that you mentioned, using dhclient to get an IP would work just as fine if the number of nodes is not too big - I have 100+ nodes configured that way, with 2 DHCP requests per boot of node (the PXE one and the dhclient one) as I was just too lazy to try to eliminate the second DHCP request by re-using the info from PXE - and the master node doesn't feel the load at all, although it is hardware-wise the poorest machine from the cluster (as opposed to most other clusters that I know of ;-)). -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: Bogdan.Costescu at IWR.Uni-Heidelberg.De

Linux Mint 17: Fresh and Long-Lasting
Jun 30, 2014 1:48 PM PT
Linux Mint 17, dubbed "Qiana," is one of the best releases from this community since Linux Mint 13 arrived in 2012 with the Cinnamon desktop. Qiana is filled with extensive improvements and embellishments to all five desktop editions. It is available in Cinnamon, Xfce, KDE, Mate and LMDE.
Regardless of which desktop you favor, the core improvements are well worth the upgrade. They include improvements to the Update and Drivers managers, retooled Login and Welcome screens, and improvements to system, artwork and main components.
The Cinnamon desktop is upgraded to version 2.2, while Mate, a fork of Gnome 2, is upgraded to version 1.8. The KDE upgrade runs version 4.13. Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) is a semi-rolling distribution based on Debian Testing. The other Linux Mint 17 releases are based on Ubuntu 14.04.
LMDE's design is identical to the main edition and provides the same functionality. It is available in both 32- and 64-bit as a live DVD with Cinnamon or Mate.
Except for the Linux Mint Debian Testing edition, all are Long-Term Support editions, which means the community will support each version until 2019.
Another new approach implemented with this latest release cycle is that future versions of Linux Mint will use the same package base as Linux Mint 17. This is a welcome change from the previous six-month release cycle strategy. Upgrading Linux Mint is now much more trivial. The development team will not start working on a new base until 2016 and instead will be fully focused on this one.
Familiar Yet Better
I routinely rotate upgrades to my Linux Mint installations every few releases. I use this distro running the Cinnamon desktop daily on computers in two locations and on a laptop. The laptop had the oldest version, Linux Mint 15.
Installing Linux Mint 17 on the laptop obviously resulted in impressive improvements. The changes were still very evident when I installed this latest release on one of my main work desktops running Linux Mint 16.
Linux Mint 16 is a very mature OS that performs admirably. The tweaking in Linux Mint 17 clearly shows a pleasant refinement to the core components and the Cinnamon desktop environment.
Managing Updates
Its improved user interface no longer reloads in root mode when you click on it. It also does not check for an Internet connection or wait for the network manager. Finally, the Update Manager no longer locks the APT cache at session startup.
The Update Manager has more functionality thanks to a new file type column that differentiates between traditional updates, security updates and backports updates.
Another very nice change is how the update history functions. Previously, the history log covered only the updates performed by the Update Manager. Now all updates performed on the system are included regardless of the source -- Update Manager, apt-get, aptitude, gdebi or dpkg.
Driving Linux
A new section of the Update Manager presents all the available kernels. This makes it easy to see the relevant information about new kernels, what they fix and what they break. You can pick the right one for your computing needs.
A cool and convenient feature is the ability to install drivers without a connection to the Internet. For instance, if you are offline, the Driver Manager requests the installation medium and mounts it as a temporary package repository.
As an example of this usefulness, I have a test computer with Broadcom wireless chipsets. I usually can't get the wireless connection working until I scrounge around for an Ethernet cable. However, with Qiana, I only had to insert the DVD to apply the needed drivers without moving the computer to the room where the router sits.
Ever had trouble with glitch in the Mint Display Manager that prevented you from logging in to your desktop? This latest release fixes that problem. Press CTRL+ALT+F1 to bring up the console and type "mdm-recovery." This loads a safe configuration so you can restart your computer and successfully log in.
More Good Stuff
It is often said that the devil is in the details. With Linux Mint 17, the accumulated details are very devilish indeed. The development team did a hell of a job making this Linux distro smoother and better.
The GUI for System Settings has a more consistent look. The categories are better organized and separated into subsections. This eliminates having to switch between normal and advanced modes.
The Power Management and Screensaver settings also got a makeover. The settings are separated into what effects the Lock Screen and Power Management. Similar improvements occurred with the Brightness, which now includes additional settings.
Cinnamon Upgrade
Most of my impressions regarding the improvements built into Linux Mint 17 from this point in the review focus on the Cinnamon desktop environment. This latest Linux Mint release uses the most recent desktop upgrades.
The core improvements extend to the other Linux Mint desktop versions. However, given Cinnamon's status as the flagship desktop for this distro, that is where the majority of finessing occurs beyond the distro-wide core components.
Comfier HUD
One of the most annoying things about the Hot Corner performance and the Heads Up Display (HUD) in previous Linux Mint versions was the unexpected display change when I carelessly let the mouse pointer hit the designated zone.
This usually happens when I reach for the File menu in the upper left screen corner of an application window or want to click the close icon in a window's upper right corner. It also can happen when I sluggishly drag a window too far.
To avoid this problem, I would resize the application window so the window border was below the hot zones indicator. Cinnamon 2.2 fixes all of that. The Hot Corners and HUD are now less intrusive. They appear only if you drag a window really close to the edge. Gone is the snapping reminder when you move a windows around the screen too slowly.
Also, you now can define Hot Corners settings to react on hover, on icon click or on both. Another change turned off the top-left hot corner by default to avoid unexpected triggering.
More Cinnamon Control
Previous versions of Cinnamon relied on a hard-coded list of systray icons to hide. In Cinnamon 2.2, each applet can register its set of roles.
This lets you finesse Cinnamon's functionality and decide which systray icons to hide when running. These new roles enable Cinnamon to dynamically show relevant systray icons when applets are removed or hide them when applets are added.
Two relatively minor Menu improvements make a major boost in usability. This is the start of menu maturity that will expand in the next Cinnamon release. For now, you can right-click an application and select Uninstall to remove it.
You still have the traditional functionality of right-clicking on an application to add it to the panel, the desktop or the Favorites row. Also, newly installed applications are highlighted in the menu.
Under the Cinnamon Hood
Another improvement in Cinnamon 2.2 is support for MPRIS (Media Player Remote Interfacing Specificatio) support. This lets you interact with MPRIS-compatible software both from the sound applet and the multimedia keys.
The sound applet now shows the track name and the cover art in the panel. The sound applet can hide or show systray icons for multimedia players. Another refinement in Cinnamon 2.2 is the HiDPI or Retina support in high-resolution.
Window Washing
Window opacity is much easier to control in the Cinnamon version of Qiana. I did not check whether this feature exists in the other desktop environments for Linux Mint 17.
This adjustable opacity feature lets you shade windows or change their opacity by using the mouse wheel on the title bar. A quick roll of the mouse wheel changes the window to semi-transparent, so you can see what is underneath without tiling the displayed windows or reaching for the Alt-Tab keys.
This new control ability is another example of how little tweaks can make a huge difference in usability. When you consider all of these little improvements built into Linux Mint 17, they all contribute to a very big deal in how much an already solid disto is made better.
Bottom Line
Linux Mint 17 is very impressive. The improvements included to numerous core components make upgrading to this latest release a no-brainer. The latest tweaks to each of the supported desktop environments greatly improve user satisfaction.
If for no other reason, upgrade to Linux Mint 17 to cash in on the long-term support strategy that will make performing future OS upgrades a very minor process for the next five or six years.

Speedplay's Zero Stainless are superb pedals for road cycling thanks to their light weight, cornering clearance, adjustability and easy entry and exit. This means you'll be the first going out of stop signs and start lines and be able to dive into the deepest corners. The Zeros let you choose a fixed cleat position or up to 15-degrees of unimpeded float, and independently adjust the lateral and fore/aft positioning. Plus, these pedals are exceptionally light, making them a great choice for your prized road rocket. They boast needle and cartridge bearings for smooth rotation and a cleat-based engagement mechanism that ensures you won't clip out when going hard.

Best Uses
Speedplay gives me one advantage that no other pedal system can...CORNER. Im a crit racer and this pedal system gives me the ability to take a faster tighter line than any other system available. That means real speed and performance when it counts. It is also extremely easy to enter and exit. Since you can clip in to both sides you dont ever get stuck trying to clip into your pedal. This is ideal for those up-hill stop lights that seem to be everywhere. Instead of looking down at your feet to clip in, the process is literally a natural step in motion.
Best Uses
I've tried a whole bunch of different pedals and never found a pair I completely liked until these. Others I've tried are Time, Campy, Shimano SPD, and Eggbeater.The Speedplays are unique in that they have simply switched roles of pedal and cleat. What would normally be considered the pedal is attached to the shoe. The simple cleat mechanism is attached to the pedal. The advantage of this is that it allows the pedals to be much more firmly attached to the shoe sole, spreading the contact and load area much wider than the typical three-point systems for other pedals.Secondly, Speedplay have separated the adjustment axes so that X, Y and theta (rotational) adjustments are made independently of one another. With most rival systems, X and Y positioning is a cumbersome and inaccurate adjustment whereby all the locking screws have to be loosened and the cleat carefully wiggled to what one thinks is the correct position in one direction while trying to keep the cleat in the same position for another. With Zeros, any changes can be carefully controlled to a level of precision that is difficult with other methods. On other systems, theta is either controlled by the locking tension, or incorporated into the X,Y adjustment, making it even trickier. On Zeros the theta adjustment is controlled by two small screws on the cleat body that precisely limits the amount of yaw clockwise or anticlockwise from a center-point (up to 15 degrees).The locking mechanism is positive, but takes a little getting used to, since it is a sort of twisting-in action to engage the cleat. Once locked, I've never had a cleat spring free under load. So far I've ridden 10,000 miles on the same pedals and cleats. The cleat bases are now well worn, but the locking mechanism is as positive as ever.The one drawback I've experienced is that, because the cleats contain the locking mechanism, they are prone to collecting dirt or mud when not on the bike. This can sometimes interfere with the engagement when you get back on the bike. I invested in a pair of rubber cafe covers, which I recommend that you use diligently when getting off the bike. I also got into the habit of tapping the base of each cleat on the road just before getting on the bike (a sort of double-tap dance with each foot).
