Company will focus on building strong customer relationships
Pentair has unveiled a new branding initiative in which current brands will become product lines under the Pentair umbrella. Focusing on a united, universal brand enables Pentair to increase marketing and promotional support for customers, as well as solidify its commitment to providing on-time delivery of high-quality, competitively priced product solutions.
With a 150-year history, Pentair has grown into an $8 billion company, due to the support of more than 30,000 employees in 30 countries at more than 100 manufacturing facilities. Pentair continues to expand by providing its customers with solutions for applications large and small, from the Minnesota Twins' Target Field and the parishes of New Orleans to the Berlin airport in Germany. These key factors and long-lasting customer relationships have positioned Pentair to successfully unite the company's product lines under one primary identity and create an increasingly visible, single brand in the marketplace.
Pentair will continue to partner with customers to promote further growth by delivering innovative "water solutions" for homes, commercial properties and infrastructure and agriculture applications. In the process, the Pentair community will help the world meet an increasingly critical need to provide an abundant supply of water and manage wastewater efficiently and effectively.
"We plan to further invest in the Pentair brand, making it the primary brand showcased across all of our global business units and channels," said Gary Witt, president, Pentair Flow Technologies. "This focus on the Pentair brand will ultimately help our business partners to be even more competitive by offering a brand that is internationally recognized in the marketplace."
Under the new branding initiative, familiar product lines such as STA-RITE, Myers, Pentek, Hydromatic, BERKELEY, Aermotor, Hypro, Aurora, Fairbanks Nijhuis and an array of others will remain at the forefront of the Pentair product offering. The only difference is that they will now also feature the Pentair brand. In addition, Pentair's business touch points, ranging from how customers purchase to the Pentair employees with whom they interact, will remain the same. Pentair's goal is to further enable the success of its customers and business partners by raising awareness for the Pentair brand and creating additional demand in the marketplace.

A-DATA PD7 8GB Flash Drive Review
In today's world, the main focus for computer hardware is to make faster, smaller, and more affordable products. One of the most common peripherals that we commonly overlook is the flash drive. Flash drives are very convenient and help us transport information easily. As these flash drives get smaller, they also get bigger in terms of storage space. But can we find a flash drive that has a large amount of storage space but is still very fast? A-DATA has recently released its PD7 line of flash drives and today we'll be taking a look at the 8GB model. Will this be the latest and greatest flash drive on the market that is a must-have?
The A-DATA PD7 8GB flash drive boasts 200X speed and being Windows ReadyBoost compatible. I've never seen a flash drive go over 140X so it'll be interesting to see if this PD7 8GB drive can perform as advertised. Join me as I thoroughly investigate A-DATA's PD7 8GB flash drive.
Closer Look:
Unfortunately, the A-DATA PD7 flash drive is packaged in the impossible-to-open style of plastic. It took me ten minutes just to find something sharp enough to puncture the packaging. On the front of the package you'll see the features, the flash drive itself, and the capacity of the unit. The back of the package is where you'll find the system requirements and some more features, all in multiple languages.
"My Flash" is the logo painted onto the aluminum finish of the PD7. On the back of the unit, you'll find the A-DATA logo as well as the URL. The PD7 is the same size as all of the other USB flash drives that I have used; I was expecting it to be slightly bigger since its capacity is a whopping 8 gigabytes.
Now that we've seen the A-DATA PD7 8GB flash drive up close, let's install it so that we can see if this drive actually performs as advertised.

Ford has released a series of good-looking cars with excellent mileage lately. But whether it's the too-cramped Fiesta interior or the sluggish transmission on the Focus, these otherwise spectacular mainstream vehicles have had a few serious flaws.
The redesigned 2013 Escape is different: No matter how hard I looked, I couldn't find anything significantly wrong with it.
A duo of new turbo engines offer better performance than the competition, the interior is roomy and comfortable, high-tech gadgetry works well, and it even looks cool. All of this comes with a premium price in a competitive segment.
If you're OK with the price of admission, the new Ford Escape is ready...

Colorado Rapids Head Coach Oscar Pareja following the 2-1 loss at Sporting KC:
Overall thoughts on the match:
"Good game for both teams. I thought it was very physical. Kansas City, I thought, had a very good first 25 minutes. It took us a little too long to figure things out, especially in the middle where we were giving a lot of space. Still I thought we had chances there with Deshorn and the other one that we had at the end of the first half. The second half we started different. The team bounced back and got the equalizer. I thought probably we could get more. But these games are tight, especially at this point in the season where everybody is fighting. Kansas City had the fortune to find that goal at the end which left us very disappointed."
On the team's slow start:
"Kansas City is a tough place to play, everybody knows. They have a team that throws a lot of bodies at you. If you don't find the rhythm quick, they impose their will. I saw it that way. The team was just trying to be disciplined and hold our shape and try to get the ball back and get some players in behind. And we did it. They had some options and scored a goal. But I thought we reacted well."
On the team's defensive performance:
"I thought we were not as solid as we wanted. We were playing against a very aggressive team. The second half was much better."
On getting back on track in LA:
"We're fighting. We have a tough schedule. We're fighting for points every week. We hadn't lost a game in nine games and today, in the last three minutes we gave away a really important point. I can't let this change our momentum and affect the team. The team is solid, we're good."

MIDDLETOWN — The Washingtonville boys' soccer team isn't exactly following protocol when it comes to having success in the postseason.
MIDDLETOWN — The Washingtonville boys' soccer team isn't exactly following protocol when it comes to having success in the postseason.
The Wizards, who will play Arlington in a state Class AA quarterfinal on Tuesday, finished the regular season on a down note, falling in overtime to Warwick and losing the Orange County Interscholastic Athletic Association Division II title in the process.
Since the postseason began, Washingtonville hasn't been able to stay healthy, either.
Junior striker Justin Morgan, the team's top offensive playmaker, tore the ACL in his left knee during the Section 9 Class AA final against Monroe-Woodbury.
"I had pulled muscles, but nothing like this," Morgan said.
Morgan plans on having surgery this week and expects to be out for five to six months.
Another forward, senior Billy Haas, suffered serious bruising when he was taken down during the Section 9 final. Haas, his left leg heavily wrapped, played limited minutes in Washingtonville's 1-0 victory over Corning on Friday in a state tournament opening-round game.
On top of that, junior forward Zach Johannessen missed the Corning game with an illness.
"We're falling apart, but we're hanging in strong," Morgan said. "I feel confident in our team."
With so many forwards sidelined, the Wizards have had to look for scoring from other places. Senior midfielder Kevin Aussenheimer scored game-winners in postseason wins over Warwick and Corning. Junior Kurt Fluhler scored the dramatic game-winner in overtime in the section final. John LaTouche, like Aussenheimer a senior captain and midfielder, has scored three goals over three playoff games.
"It's not just me and Kevin," LaTouche said. "It's our outside backs. Everyone is scoring. Everyone is doing their thing and everyone is getting up. We're all pitching in and it's working very well for us, so we're going to continue to do it."
Despite all of the obstacles, Washingtonville is one win from another trip to the state semifinals on Saturday in Middletown.
"Those are my brothers," Morgan said. "I feel bad about it because this is my team and those are my brothers. But that's the game of soccer. Everybody gets hurt. Luckily we have Kevin, John and Jack (Aussenheimer), people who can score and are technical players."

In the latest proposal to recoup the AIG bonus money for taxpayers, state Senate Democrats are calling for an 80 percent tax surcharge for anyone who receives a bonus from a company receiving federal bailout money.
Senate President Pro Tem Donald Williams, the highest-ranking senator, said the law would apply only to Connecticut residents, and the surcharge would be paid through their state income tax. Many of those receiving bonuses worked out of the AIG financial products division in Wilton in Fairfield County.
The $165 million in bonuses has sparked outrage nationwide, ranging from President Obama to legislators in Connecticut.
The 80 percent surcharge would be only on the bonuses, not on the full compensation of AIG employees. While saying that some people believe the surcharge should be 100 percent, Williams said that the 80 percent surcharge is fair because the taxpayers currently own 80 percent of AIG, a well-known insurance company that ran into major problems last September as the company's financial collapse became public.
"These are the folks who helped wreck the national economy,'' Williams said in an interview with The Courant. "It's an issue of fundamental justice for taxpayers. We want that money back. Why should this benefit Wall Street fat cats? We're talking about a serious fleecing of taxpayers.''
Employees living in Westchester County, N.Y., for example, who commute to the AIG office in Wilton would not be affected, he said.
"If you're not paying Connecticut income tax, it wouldn't apply,'' Williams said. "We wouldn't have jurisdiction.''
Williams said he has not yet spoken to Republican legislators or Republican Gov. M. Jodi Rell about the proposal.

Worked for me on my Surface Pro 2 , Thank You
Worked like a charm after 5 or more failures without it! Thanks!
I tried it and still go the error. I will try again now. Surface Pro 3
Worked for me on i7, Asus x99-A system, thanks!
It comes back to the empty line pretty quick for me, Is that normal?
I'm running on a ThinkPad X1 Carbon and this resolved my issue too. Thanks!
Yeah it took me 3 tries as well. But all is good now.
This did not work for me at first. HOWEVER, I switched to the Slow ring, updated everything and rebooted. Then, switched to the Fast ring, and while 10112 was both downloading and installing, I did the psexec rundll thing every 30 seconds, and also switched
all network adapters off. FINALLY it updated. SP3 i7 256.
Worked Perfect as posted. Thanks so much.
This really worked for me on first try.
Thanks alot!! U r a genius (not like Einstein thou, but close)
This worked for me!
After the third attempt, this finally worked for me. Vdesk's comment (page 2 of comments here) led me in the right direction. I've detailed how the three attempts panned out in order to get it to work on page 26 here:
Not sure if it makes a difference, but during the third (and successful) attempt, I ran the pnpclean fix when the "preparing to install" phase hit 95% – moments before the prompt to reboot appeared…
Hooray! This fixed my problem. I had also done all the previous fixes, though, so anyone who is still having trouble may want to go through them all.
Not working on SP3 i7 512GB
Surface Pro 3 i7 x64 OS Build 10074 to 10122 this worked successfully for me too.
Superb, worked for me on my SP3 i7 512GB. THANKS!
Worked for me on an SP3 i5/8/256. On the second try I ran the pnpclean again, right after the update installed the May 15 update. Ran really slow to do the upgrade. But the device seems to be running at normal speed. Thanks a lot!
This solved it for me on Surface Pro 2. Thanks!!
It took two tries running the procedure, but worked great on a Dell Venue 11 Pro i3. Many thanks.
Seems to have worked for me on the SP3 i7 256GB. THANKS!
This solution worked fine …… totally agree with your comments well done.
Attempted the Andre Da Costa solution this didn't work for me with commands
ren C:WindowsSoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
ren C:WindowsSystem32catroot2 catroot2.old
causing additional problems if they were in existence from a previous upgrade attempt
This worked perfectly, thank you so much!
I get an error pop-up when executing the last command: Error in pnpclean.dll. Missing Entry: rundll_pnpclean
That worked for me too! Got past the hang up!
no go
Thanks! Worked for me.
It worked like a charm! Thanks!
I have tried it and it did not work. I see that Pepper states that there were several failed attempts, so I am trying again.
Did NOT work for me (SP3 i7 256). Also seems to trigger the re-install of the system patch from may 14th…
Did not work for me. Went from hang at 18%, to reverting to previous install (10074). Error code 0x80070057-0x20007. SP3 i5/8/256. I'll give it one more try.
I didnt' get an error during the preparation for install like I did previously, but it got stuck again at 18% upgrading from 10074 – 0x80070057 on my SP3 i7/8/256
Worked great on Surface Pro 3
Update: it finally worked for me (SP3 / i7 / 256).
The first time I tried, it failed. However, I noticed that it re-installed the system update from may 14th before retrying to install 10122. I don't know if that was the issue. However, I tried again but this time I re-ran the pnpclean command after it updated
the may 14th update and a few times while it was preparing to install the 10122 update. Then it worked. I have not idea if it's relevant or just a coincidence, but I am posting it in case it might help someone.
– Make sure the first command prompt is opened with administrative rights (run as admin).
– The command is case sensitive (for the pnpclean thing), so make sure you type it as is.
– There is no visible indication that the command worked, just an empty line.
Good luck.
Worked on my Surface Pro 3 i5 256 🙂
Worked 100% on my Surface Pro 3 i5 128GB
Thanks… This worked for me (Surface Pro 3 i5).
Worked for me!
Works for me. SP3 I5 8G. MS should at least give you guys a reward : )
Great and Thx wored
Yup – you're a freakin' genius – fixed my SP3 i5/256GB
Works great.
My issue was a little different. The update was downloaded and while it seemed to hang at 34% when preparing to install it eventually kept going. It still failed to install, I was getting the restart message and windows would just load as if nothing happened.
I tried the fixes from the blog post. This fix seems somehow related (deleting drivers). Microsoft should update their blog post
Succeeded on second try; re-running above fixes while update is downloading and preparing to install, and running disk cleanup twice. So, thank you! Now onward to the tablet mode experience.
Solved the issue on my Surface Pro 2 🙂
Worked for me 2nd time around, I had to do it right before reboot.
Worked here.. many thanks
went through outlined process. worked on Surface 3 Pro. had same issue as others describe herein. after reboot wanted to reinstall 5/14 hardware update. after that reboot all working. now to test/try 10122.
Tried a half a dozen times and can't get it to work. Stops at 62 and 18%. Last reboot showed over heat thermometer on the screen and shut down. Don't know why all the ones I am reading about are working and mine is not. Running a surface pro 3 128.
You guys are geniuses! Thanks.
If anyone has any troubles with the instructions above, I've taken the liberty of re-writing the steps above with a bit more details — but all credits go to Pieter and Antonio.
Solved my issue on surface pro 3. Now i'm using build 10122. Thank you for your usefull post.
Best regards
This worked for me. SP3 i7 256. Thanks so much! Did have to do it twice. Second time ran the command a few times when it was at 90+% right before the reboot. Thanks again
Worked for me 🙂
Yes – did it.
Surface Pro 3, i5, 256
Thank you!
Worked on my Alienware X51 R2. Thank you
Sigh. Tried this 5 times, even running the rundll command multiple times up to the reset. I still get stuck at the terrible 19% installing and copying files 64%.
Im on the Gigabyte p35k laptop with the Intel I7-4700HQ CPU and GeForce 765m graphic card .
Bedankt Pieter! M'n SP3 wilde ook niet updaten (ondanks disk cleanup, inclusief driver package, previous installations, etc), maar je workaround werkt!
It's working for me.
Installer already at 23%.
Thanks for the advice. Made several attempts, but it worked, unfortunately NOT for me. I am also on a Surface Pro i7 256.
Hi all,
Worked for me on a Surface Pro 3 i5 128GB. Just want to thanks you !
Yes worked for my XPS 18. I didn't have to use psexec.exe though. Just ran the command and clicked on (Retry) under settings and it still hangs for a bit at 18-19% but then takes off. Great work.
This worked great for me, thank you very much! i5/8/256 Surface Pro 3
It solved my pc Dell XPS. Thank you very much.
Mucho appreceiated, worked like a charm on my SP3 i5 ! Thanks!
Worked for me too – thanks!
Should have said – I'm on a SP3 i5 also
Hi gyus,
I used psexec, but no result…i found a solution ! i have uninstalled my intel driver chipset, my ATK hotkeys asus adn my genesys USB driver, and now it's OK !!! update 10122 installed with success ! and the surprise between 10044 and 10122, the driver for
intel and USB was found by the update 10122! or with the old 10044, the driver was not found 😉 so, just uninstall some driver and it's ok.(Sorry for my french accent in the texte lol)
Yes, this worked for me. It corrected the "hung at 18%" issue. Update ran successful. Thanks for the fix. This was on the SP3.
This one finally works on my SP3 running 10074. I had previously tried all the other suggested fixes, including uninstalling drivers, etc, but those did not work for me
1) Ran the "rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN randomly via Administrative prompt at least a dozen times during the Preparing to Install xx% part of the process after download of the update. I ran these between 30% and 85%
2) Ran the same command another dozen times randomly between 85% and 94%
3) Ran it again another half dozen times when it hit 95% until 96/97% right before it asked for a reboot
SP3 pro i7: Didn't work for me either – Guess I have to install a clean Win 8.1, to get to Build 10122. 🙁
Tried this on the i5/128GB Surface Pro 2 and it worked at second try. Thanks!
perfect on my Surface Pro 3 i5 8GB 256
Yes, works for me too. Thanks.
This worked like a charm for me , home built system
I have an SP3 i7 and I've tried this a couple of times and it basically overheats everytime.. When you run the program, does it give you any feedback? Mine just goes back to the command prompt… Can't tell that it's done anything..
Doesn't resolve the Surface Pro 3 issue.
Doesn't work for my Surface 3 Pro (I5)
I can't get this working either, did about 20 times at all stages, with cleanup, without, etc.
Worked perfectly. Thanks a bunch. Saved me from doing a clean install.
Thanks! That fixed it, got past that 18%
The command is case sensitive, execute rundll32 exactly as written.
Tried this a few times and only worked once I did a full disk cleanup, reboot, removed files and folders, killed some processes and retried the "rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN" command. Glad everything is running smoothly!
Lost was my picture password though… :/
Thanks for the fix
i mean the psexec / cmd / rundll execute ok, I can see the driver folder shrinks in size BUT windows still stuck at 19% installing + 64% copying files.
Worked for me also on my Asus i7 Notebook. Took some time to find this solution, but am glad I persevered to get to your site. Many thanks.
Worked for me (Surface Pro 2). I ran the 2nd command above twice, just to be sure 😉 — THANKS!
Worked for me! Thanks a ton!
totally worked. i really wish microsoft would just do these simple solutions with the upgrade package. its just frustrating
Resolved on Surface Pro 3
I had the same issue in my SP3. Restarted using power button + vol up button then ran the rundll command and updated. Installation restarted automatically saying upgraded failed. Tried the rundll command again and this time update was successful.
anybody getting an error on missing entry you MUST type RunDLL_PnpClean exactly as it's case sensitive.
anybody getting an error on missing entry you MUST type RunDLL_PnpClean exactly as it's case sensitive.
worked for me on the surface pro 3 the first time. many thanks.
Thanks! Worked for me.
Seems when the firmware update is in the mix it won't complete. Once the FW applied it passed 18% to complete
This one worked for me. THANK YOU very much.
Failed on my end. HP 120-1136.
Tried it again and it worked. It helps if you remove all nonessential hardware — that is to say, all hardware except your original keyboard and mouse — before executing the RUNDLL32.EXE directive. If you use a different keyboard and/or mouse, remove
these and connect your original peripherals While you're at it, you may want to remove the drivers for any hardware you have disconnected.
Worked, thanks!
I have a SP3, they continually was stuck at the 18%, 62% loaded. Failed with error 080070057-0x20007. Did multiple turns of the psexec fix here, and still failed. Did the disk clean as well with the psexec too, to no avail. Finally worked last night. This
thread takes a couple of fixes and combined. I did it and it finally worked.
The link:
I finally got this to work on my SP3 i5. I removed all the devices that had a yellow triangle.
Worked for me. 20%/68% and counting.
Worked after the third try on the surface pro3.
Thanks very much – worked perfectly.
Just here to say that this solved my problem. I have a Surface Pro 3 (I5 – 256) and was on a dead end with this error. The hint here was to follow the steps and run "rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN" several times (as others
said) while WU was "preparing itens for install". In fact, every time the percentage changed I ran the command. Not sure if it was needed that many times (maybe just at the end?), but it worked. Thanks!
PTBR: Isso realmente resolveu meu problema. Eu tenho um Surface Pro 3 (I5 – 256) e esse erro impedia minhas atualização. A sacada foi seguir os passos e executar o comando "rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN" várias vezes, enquanto
o WU estava "preparando a instalação" do update 10122. Na verdade, toda vez que o percentual era alterado, eu rodava o comando novamente. Não sei se precisa executá-lo tantas vezes, mas funcionou! Obrigado!
Worked for me on my Dell Inspiron 15 7000 Series Ultrabook (Intel Core i7 w/ 16GB memory).
What is not properly explained its you have to run the command line : "rundll32.exe pnpclean.dll,RunDLL_PnpClean /DRIVERS /MAXCLEAN" during the upgrade around 90% ( I did it multiple time to have It working at the end) …
The article should be modified to reflect it …
How would I open command prompt if it's stuck on 18% should I force my computer to shut down or something? How I'm I meant to download and use it if it's stuck on 18% and I can't do anything
On a Surface Pro 3 it might help to delete the keyboard and pen drivers
It's worth a mention, but this command is CaSe sensitive, failing to use upper case fails with an error.
Awesomeness in a bottle… I now have 10122 goodness!!!
Worked like a charm for me 🙂
Thanks mister, you saved me from getting stuck in 18% 3rd time in a row.
No go. Tried two times on my Sony Vaio with Nvidia 425…
Works like a charm 🙂 Thanks
got error coulda t install PSEXESVC = access denied, what am I doing wrong
Worked for me on a Surface Pro 2.
It works for me. thanks for your advice.
Thanks so much!
It doesn't work at all. error message "pnpclean.exe doesn't existe". i have also followed admise of Gabe ail, deleting all temps files, Windows.old, unecessary drivers…. to no avail. I so much want to upgrade – Getting quite desperate after one week
in 18% hell
This worked for me, too. (On a Surface 2 machine)
Thank you, it works on my Surface 3 Pro (I5)
I had to run the command after the initialization completed and it's ready to restart. Don't forget to run from an administrator command prompt
Yes, thank you very much! It works!
Good morning partners, If you or your customers are a part of the Windows 10 Tech Preview, you may have

The Shins began in 1996 as a side project for singer/songwriter James Mercer, whose primary band was Flake Music in Albuquerque. For their earliest shows, The Shins performed as a duo with Mercer recruiting Jesse Sandoval to play drums. Initially, Mercer had no expectations of expanding the band's following beyond Albuquerque. However, at a performance with Modest Mouse in 2000, Sub Pop's Jonathan Poneman asked The Shins to contribute a single to the label's Single of the Month Club, which eventually became an offer to release The Shins' 2001 single, "New Slang," and their debut album, Oh, Inverted World. The release of singles such as "Know Your Onion!" and "The Past and Pending" kept The Shins' success going into 2002, cementing Oh, Inverted World as one of the definitive indie-rock albums of the early '00s and The Shins as one of the genre's leading younger bands. It received critical acclaim for its lyrically deft and jangly pop sound. Two songs from the album ("Caring Is Creepy" and "New Slang") were featured prominently on the soundtrack for the 2004 film "Garden State," starring and directed by Zach Braff, exposing the music of The Shins to a much wider audience.
The band relocated from Albuquerque to Portland, OR in 2001. Chutes Too Narrow was released by Sub Pop in the fall of 2003 to much fanfare in indie music circles, featuring even more multi-layered lyrics, as well as a musical approach that explored new genres, song structures, and levels of production fidelity. Nonstop touring of everywhere from Australia to Norway, as well as the US countless times over, contributed to pushing sales past 500,000 worldwide, exceeding everyone's expectations, including the band's.
The band's third album, Wincing the Night Away, was recorded in Portland during 2006 by a largely solo Mercer, but with the production assistance of Joe Chiccarelli. It was released on January 23, 2007 and debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 album chart with 118,000 copies sold in its first week, the highest sales week and chart position an album released solely on Sub Pop has ever achieved. It was nominated for a 2008 Grammy award in the category of Best Alternative Music Album.
Their latest release, Port of Morrow, has been called the band's "most satisfying achievement" (Boston Phoenix).
Opening the show will be Washed Out and Sad Baby Wolf. Washed Out is the moniker of 28-year-old Ernest Greene, who recorded his first tracks on a laptop in his parents' Georgia home. Now, he's a wonder of the "chillwave" movement and the man behind some of the year's most alluring electronic sounds. Washed Out's debut album, Within and Without (Sub Pop), builds a textured pop soundscape atop pulsing dance beats. True to his digital roots, Greene posted his early recordings on MySpace, where they drew the attention of many prominent music blogs. He adapted quickly to the demands of playing live shows at clubs and festivals, both on his own and with the support of the New York band Small Black. Washed Out's sound is an ornate blend of murky vocals buried beneath layers of synths, strings and beats—a complex web tied together by Greene's melodies and mysterious voice.
Sad Baby Wolf features former Shins members Marty Crandall and Neal Langford, along with Jason Ward, Sean McCullough and Marty's brother Maury Crandall. The band initially formed for what they assumed was a quick one-off gig at a benefit concert. What might have started out in the backyard sounding like vintage shoegaze with some country lilt soon slides into darker terrain when Jason, who comes from a heavier rock perspective, riffs on it. In Neal's hands the songs progress down loopy, psychedelic detours, and Maury might add an unexpected beat that completely shifts the emotional movement.

WASHINGTON, April 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force said doctors should screen all adolescents and adults age 15-65 for HIV as well as all pregnant women.
An estimated 1.2 million persons in the United States are currently living with HIV infection, and the annual incidence of the disease is approximately 50,000 cases, but 20 percent to 25 percent of individuals living with HIV are unaware they are infected with the virus -- putting others at risk and delaying treatment for themselves.
Since the first cases of AIDS were reported in 1981, more than 1.1 million persons have been diagnosed and nearly 595,000 died from the condition.
The task force found convincing evidence conventional and rapid HIV antibody tests are highly accurate in diagnosing HIV infection.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said men who have sex with men account for about 60 percent of HIV-positive persons in the United States. Among men living with HIV infection who were diagnosed at age 13 or older, 68 percent of infections were attributed to male-to-male sexual contact, 8 percent attributed to male-to-male sexual contact and injection drug use, and 11 percent attributed to heterosexual contact.
Among women living with HIV infection, 74 percent of infections were attributed to heterosexual contact and the remainder to injection drug use. Heterosexual contact accounted for an estimated 25 percent of new HIV infections in 2010.
The recommendations were published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

Of late, the google talk plugin wouldn't allow me to make video calls. Audio used to work fine, but no video. (The tiny movie projector icon was missing.) I tried fiddling around with restarting the plugin, but it wasn't solving the problem.
I then tried Cheese to see if the problem was with the webcam. Turned out that it was, Cheese wasn't recognizing the webcam. That's why no video in GoogleTalk – the strange thing is that the GoogleTalkPlugin didn't provide any error messages at all when it tried to initialize the webcam. When it realized that there was no webcam, it just switched to audio only mode!
I then ran the dmesg command on the terminal which had the line:
uvcvideo: Failed to initialize the device (-5).
This seemed to point to a UVC problem. Googling revealed that the problem could be fixed by removing and adding the UVC kernel module. Here are the steps to do that:
sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo;
sudo modprobe uvcvideo;
As soon as I ran the second command, the blue light of the webcam flicked on and voila everything was back to normal. Hopefully this quick fix works for you if you run into this problem.
Otherwise, the recommended solution is to upgrade to the latest UVC modules. Linux kernels 2.6.26 onwards include the UVC driver natively, so upgrading to the latest kernel should also solve the problem.

New Car Review Video
2014 Hyundai Sonata: 5 Reasons to Buy
Although the current Hyundai Sonata was a game-changer when it first came out, that was a number of years ago -- but you wouldn't know it from the reaction you get on the street. To this day, Hyundai's mainstream sedan turns heads like a sports car. And with some major updates this year, the 2014 Hyundai Sonata is right back in the thick of things. Here are five reasons why this family hauler is still in its prime.
Unique Styling
When this Sonata debuted, it was like no family sedan we'd ever seen. With all those swoops and curves, it looked more like a performance coupe than a humdrum 4-door. It still does, and thoughtful updates, such as new front and rear fascias, have kept it looking fresh. If you care about visual impact, the Sonata continues to be a top pick.
Driver-Selectable Steering
Hyundai's been working round the clock on making the Sonata fun to drive, and now you can even pick your own steering effort. If you need to carve some corners, go with Sport. Just sitting in traffic? Dial down the effort with Comfort. It's an exclusive feature in this class, and it shows Hyundai's commitment to never leaving well enough alone.
Improved Interior
The Sonata has had a pretty cool cabin from day one, but now it's even cooler. Almost every Sonata trim level now comes standard with a 4.3-inch touchscreen, while the optional navigation system brings a beautiful new 8-in touchscreen. There's also more sound-deadening material for a quieter ride. This isn't just a run-of-the-mill midcycle refresh; the Sonata really looks and feels like a different car inside.
Excellent Engines
The Sonata's base 4-cylinder engine puts out around 190 horsepower and gets 35 miles per gallon on the highway. Best of both worlds, right? Well, not quite, because there's also the turbocharged 2.0T 4-cylinder that cranks out 274 hp and still gets 34 mpg. That's what we call an embarrassment of riches. The turbo really flies, by the way; it's one of the quickest family sedans on the market. Even BMW only gets 240 hp from its 2.0-liter turbo four.
Great Value
Somehow, you can still get a base Sonata for not much more than $20,000, with a well-equipped model running about $25 grand. The top-of-the-line Limited model is a tempting upgrade at around $30k out the door. Hyundai's famous for its value, and the Sonata carries on the tradition, even though it's one of the best cars in its class. Translation: Don't confuse value with compromise, because there's none of the latter in this Hyundai.
AutoTrader Says
The 2014 Hyundai Sonata is no spring chicken, but if you ask us, it hasn't aged a day. If you're shopping for a family sedan, it's still a must-drive.

Gallery: Lana Del Rey Does What She Does Best In Italian Vogue
In the August issue of Italian Vogue, there's an editorial showcasing Lana Del Rey doing exactly what she does best: dressing up like a sexy '60s sex kitten and saying she doesn't care what any of us meanie-heads say about her. I'm not just being mean when I say she should stick to modeling; my personal opinions on fake lips aside (DON'T DO IT, GIRLS) this lady has never had a problem looking good in pictures. Unfortunately, the interview is in Italian so I can't read it, but I'll try to imagine some of the things she was thinking and feeling.

Bar Exam Information
General Information
To obtain a license to practice law, you must apply for bar admission through the specific board of bar/law examiners in the jurisdiction where you intend to practice. The bar exam is offered in February and July. Each jurisdiction has its own rules, procedures and deadlines to follow in order to take the exam and gain admission. Most bar application deadlines will occur during your final year of law school.
It is your responsibility to contact the board of bar examiners in the jurisdiction where you intend to practice in order to obtain specific information about the exam format, fees, deadlines and applications. The National Conference of Bar Examiners website has links to all 50-state board of bar examiners, including D.C., Guam, Palau, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, on bar admissions requirements. Go to www.ncbex.org. and on the left-hand margin click on Bar Admission Offices.
Bar Exam Format
Most jurisdictions have adopted the Uniform Bar Examination (UBE) which tests uniform principles of law. Lasting 2 to 3 days, the UBE consists of: (1) Multistate Essay Exam (MEE); (2) Multistate Performance Test (MPT); and (3) Multistate Bar Exam (MBE). The MEE & MPT are essay exams; the MBE is a multiple-choice test. In addition, each jurisdiction can test applicants over specific state law subjects. For example, in Missouri it's the MECT – Missouri Educational Component Test.
Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE)
Jurisdictions also require the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam. The MPRE is a multiple-choice exam on the rules of professional responsibility. It's given three times a year (March, August and November) and is typically taken while a law student. Check with the board of bar examiners about their rules, including any expiration date on your score, when signing up to the take the MPRE. (Note: Illinois requires you earn the lesser of 60 hours or 2/3 of the credits required for a J.D. to take this exam.)
Law Student Certification
To sit for the bar, you are required to submit: (1) a bar certification form; (2) transcript showing proof of JD; (3) an application for character & fitness report; (4) proof of citizenship/prescribed alien status; & (5) in some states a notarized handwriting sample.
- Send Bar Certification Forms to the law school's Registrar's Office in person, by mail or e-mail at email@example.com. It takes 3-5 business days to process this form (sometimes 14 days during grading/exam periods) and mail it back to the applicable jurisdiction.
- Transcripts are obtained by you through the university's Office of Student Records for $5.
- Character & fitness investigations are done by the bar examiners once you submit your application. Generally, any disciplinary actions/academic issues or any discrepancies between the bar exam application and law school application are examined. If you believe there is a discrepancy between the bar exam and law school applications, you should contact Elizabeth Walsh, Assistant Dean of Students, at email@example.com.
- Note: a HOLD will be placed on your application or transcript if you have any outstanding fines or financial obligations pending. Contact the university's Accounting Office to clear up any financial discrepancies.

Sin City (US - BD)
Gabe revisits the nastiest and roughest city this side of Hell in high definition...
Basin City isn't quite the centre of Hell, but it's not too far either. Within the city's borders, and sometimes on the outskirts, lives a rogues' gallery of violent criminals, crooked cops, cannibalistic priests, murderous hookers, and castrated paedophiles. But there are also heroes in Basin City, dark and mysterious figures with violent pasts willing to do anything and everything necessary to achieve their own private brand of justice.
In my 2005 year end wrap up I referred to Sin City as 'likely the best major American theatrical release of the year'. I've grown up a bit over the last four years, and really don't agree with that statement anymore. 2005 was a weaker year than 2006 or 2007, but it gave us Brokeback Mountain, which has aged quite well, a couple of slightly blundered near masterpiece special effects extravaganzas ( War of the Worlds[i] and [i]King Kong), the first great Star Wars film in decades (shutupIlikedit), and three real classics ( Munich, Good Night and Good Luck, and A History of Violence). Still, Sin City was a pretty cool technological step concerning affordability, and it has had an indelible impact of film as a whole.
The argument 2009 Gabe would levy against 2005 Gabe would likely not be levied had Zack Snyder's adaptation 300 not been such a big hit. I don't like 300, and its similarities to Sin City have developed negative connotations. This is a bad argument, of course, because Sin City did the whole Frank Miller green screen adaptation thing first, and because beyond this comparison the films are actually quite different, and most importantly, because it's stupid to blame one film for another's shortcomings. But I still question both my affection towards Sin City and my dislike of 300, and since I'm sure most of you have seen and already judged both films for yourselves I'm gonna harp a little longer.
Both films are impressive technical achievements, bridging the differences between performance art and static comic art in exciting, sometimes beautiful ways, and both films often inspire with their frugality. Arguably the look of 300 is the more consistent, as is its overall dramatic tone, but it's the inconsistencies that make Sin City more enduringly endearing, along with its snarky sense of humour. 300 is nearly humourless, save a few ironic comments, while two of the three major stories that make up Rodriguez's film are arguably full-on dark comedies. Only That Yellow Bastard really swings for pure, dark drama, and arguably earns its shocks well beyond the more flatly represented shocks found in Snyder's adaptation. The visual consistencies and technical achievements of Sin City are a little rough (sometimes the white blood just looks silly, and the separation of colour elements is less than perfect), but there's an almost Dogma 95 creative charm that endures for me personally. In such a strange atmosphere the heavy handed dialogue and old school storytelling doesn't seem so daft, or at least it seems pointedly daft.
$40 million seems a little too steep a price for the production, but likely a lot of that went to the amazing cast, and is still pretty minimal for a studio release with star clout (and 300 did cost more). The cast is a movie geek's wet dream. All that are missing from the geek's usual manifest are Johnny Depp and Bruce Campbell. Everyone is perfectly cast too, with one deep laceration of an exception—Jessica Alba. Not only is Alba not a good actress in general, but she's entirely miscast in the roll, and actively sabotages the rest of the cast when on screen. Simply comparing Alba's dim performance to those of Rosario Dawson, Carla Gugino and Brittnay Murphy reveals an onion's worth of levels the actress simply doesn't get the character, or how to speak the uncanny dialogue. On the other end of the spectrum, standing above the likes of Bruce Willis, Clive Owen, Benicio Del Toro, and Nick Stahl (all on their top game) is Mickey Rourke. Hollywood insiders basically called 2008 for Rourke (even if Sean Penn took the best actor Oscar), but many of us remembered how good the once promising golden boy was based on this performance. Rourke perfectly balances the simplistic pathos and comedy of Marv, the indestructible oaf with a heart of gold.
The super-stylized, high contrast, ink and paint noir style utilized for Sin City actually looked pretty great on DVD, but the film was shot in high definition, and there are some compelling reasons to re-purchase it on Blu-ray. Improvements in detail are most easily seen in the fine textures of skin and clothing, as the digitally created backgrounds are purposefully so simplistic there isn't much to miss in standard definition. Unlike many effects-heavy Blu-rays the enhanced definition actually leads to a more even melding of real and digital elements. It's not as if realism is a big issue when it comes to our suspension of disbelief. The real reason to update your DVD is the nearly perfect blacks and whites, which are blended nicely at some times, and sharply divided others.
Rodriguez utilises digital effects to a fantastically stylized degree throughout the film, mostly to add slight sections of colour. My personal favourite effect is the reversed shadow effects as seen on brick or tiled walls, where outside a shadow a wall is white with black grout, but inside the shadow it appears black with white grout. The only effect that doesn't really work, and is especially clear in hi-def, is the red blood against black and white faces trick, which was achieved through post production hue fiddling. Sometimes the areas that are lightly affected by blood look a little off. The longer cuts of each story all look as good as the theatrical version, though the extended sequences are a little washed out, and the blacks appear to have a slightly warm tint.
The soundscape of Sin City isn't quite as wide as I remember it, but is still quite expressive. Most of the surround effects are minimalist, and the majority of atmosphere is found in the eerie music. The world isn't packed with sound effects, but when they show up the audience knows they heard them. Gun shots sound like canons, punches land like bombs, and car engines roar like a pride of lions. The spoken dialogue is plenty clear, but the narration is even better, spanning all three of the front channels, and enveloping the LFE as well, especially in the case of anything spoken by Mickey Rourke. The effect makes a clearer distinction between the dialogue and narration than was presented on the DVDs.
Sin City has an oddly singular score that riffs on more traditional 'hard boiled' film scores, but doesn't quite represent any of them. The roll credits three people for the film's music—Rodriguez himself, John Debney and Graeme Revell. Rodriguez covers some of the distribution of labour on the commentary, but not quite as much as I'd prefer. The music does mostly replace subtle sound effects, but it's an even payoff because the score is widely represented throughout all the channels.
I suppose that the extended versions of each story counts as an extra. It's really hard to decide which way I prefer watching the film. I suppose the novelty of the additional footage has worn off now, so I slightly prefer the flow of the theatrical version, but it's a close race. If you haven't watched the longer versions yet I do strongly recommend it.
Besides the Cine-Explore option (which doesn't actually feature any new additions, but is a new way to view the film) the only new extra is the 'Kill 'Em Good' interactive comic, which is sort of a mix of the partially animated Watchman motion comic and a not very interactive videogame. It follows the comic version of The Hard Goodbye (which was originally titled simply 'Sin City'), which was made available with the DVD version of this release. The producers use the audio from the movie (which is presented in sharp Dolby Digital 5.1), and present some pretty decent 3D animation during the car chase section of the 'game'. The controls are pretty unresponsive, but it's still a neat idea, and makes one clamour for a real Sin City animated series.
The rest of the extras are how you remember them. Disc one features two incredibly entertaining and informative commentary tracks, and one silly, but fun audience reaction track. The first commentary features the film's two chief directors, Rodriguez and Miller. Rodriguez slightly runs the track, and spends a smidgeon too much time telling Miller how great he is, but overall the tone is fully formed and an easy listen. The second track features a more technically minded Rodriguez running down the process, and making sure he thanks all the people he and Miller didn't thank in the first track. Quentin Tarantino appears briefly to talk about his section of the film, and is equal parts grating and charming. I still want him to do a Kill Bill commentary, but can't help but think four hours of him might be too much.
Disc two features the 'Kill 'Em Good' game along with non-anamorphic featurettes 'How it Went Down' (a six minute EPK that covers the basic making-of process), 'Special Guest Director Quentin Tarantino' (a seven minute run-down of Tarantino and Rodriguez's relationship and the one scene Tarantino director), 'A Hard Top with a Decent Engine' (eight minutes about the cars of the film), 'Booze, Broads and Guns' (eleven minutes concerning the props), 'Making the Monsters' (nine minutes with KNB effects and their make-up effects), and 'Trench Coats and Fishnets' (seven and a half minutes about the costume design).
Disc two also features the 'Rodriguez Special Features', which include one of the director's patented '15 Minute Flic School' and '10 Minute Cooking School' entries. The flick school teaches many great lessons in hard lighting, green screening, and finding ways to overcome impossible comic book inking techniques. It also serves a great purpose as a before and after glance. It's also never uninteresting to be reminded that many of these actors ever met. This extends to the twelve minute, fast-forwarded all green screen version of the film, which would've made a cool PiP extra in its normal speed entirety, like the volume footage that accompanied the HD DVD and Blu-ray releases of Beowulf. 'The Long Take' (eighteen minutes of behind the scenes, including an uninterrupted fourteen minute take), ' Sin City Live in Concert (a live performance with Bruce Willis' band playing for the cast and crew), a trailer, and a teaser.
So my opinion of Sin City has dipped a bit over the last few years, but not to depressing levels. It's still a very entertaining film, and it still has a solid place in recent film history. It has a positive legacy in its use of green screens and stylized production (though George Lucas and company pretty much pioneered the digital incarnation of such filmmaking with the Star Wars prequels), but has started (in my eyes) an inadvertently negative legacy concerning steadfast devotion to source comic book material. Zack Snyder has taken both balls and run with them with 300 and Watchmen, and I think these represent both the best and worst of such films. Still, literal translation works very well for this particular post-modern comic book, and hi-def fans should enjoy the increased detail.
Before Sin City Robert Rodriguez was really only 'that guy that makes cheap movies', and unfortunately after Sin City he's still that guy. His films are more respectable than good. Many fans have been desperately awaiting Sin City sequels, but I'd rather see him stretch himself further, and if he's going to make another super-stylized green screen film I'd rather see him tackle Mike Aldred's 'Mad Man', which he was rumoured to be producing before Sin City. Anyone that has read the first Mad Man mini-series knows that the book is even more filmic than any of Frank Miller's exceedingly filmic tomes. It's also a more interesting story, by the way, look into it.

i'll probably stick with the special edition dvd because, like you, i watched it again recently and my opinion of it has gone down over the last couple of years.

Hey Gabriel,
Another well thought out and articulate review. Thank you.
I'm saddened that your opinion of Sin City has dipped since its release. I haven't watched it for a while and I hope I wont feel the same way.
I greatly take umbrage with you comparing Sin City to 300. I feel they are completely opposite kinds of films and all they have in common is their production method. 300 is an empty vacuous experience and I've never liked it, whilst Sin City has endearing entertaining characters and the overall film has humour, depth and heart.
Technically, it's the closest thing to perfection I've ever seen. You might wanna watch Sith again, as some of the effects in that are quite shabby. Why Lucas insisted on animating EVERY single Clone Trooper, even Temuera Morrison's head/face in long shots, is beyond me.

the worst for me was that he put his head on CGI bodies for the shots where the troopers are unmasked. they couldnt be bothered to build a few suits for him to wear? i realize Lucas pretty much paid for the prequels outta his own pocket but dude....there's cheap and then there's cheap.

Usually if I cover special effects in a review it's more for the readers. The Star Wars prequels looks fake as all get out to me, but I'm a child of the '80s, so I usually let bad effects go and write it off to suspension of disbelief. I still like Revenge of the Sith for it's operatic elements, and the general artistry of the look, not the realism of the special effects (or the dialogue, obviously).

Come on Sin City is not Robert Rodrigues's only great movie, he is the master behind my all time favorite movie Planet Terror and I am full aware af the fact that people either hate it or love it.
I'm really looking forward to the extended edition of Sin City, especially in HD.

Ingredients and Processing Under One Roof
FPSA's Process Expo joins IFT's Food Expo for the first time this July.
This summer's Food Expo, July 16-20 in Chicago, will be a different show, because it's no longer just the Institute of Food Technologists' Food Expo. There across the mezzanine in the North Hall of Chicago's McCormick Place will be miles of processing equipment, courtesy of the Food Processing Suppliers Association and its Process Expo.
Both of these shows have long histories. Process Expo has been around in various forms for 100 years. For the past 13 years it was co-located with the Packaging Machinery Manufacturers Institute's Pack Expo, making it a fall show. The association of equipment makers hopes teaming up with IFT will bring new vitality and a food-only focus to their show.
Process Expo expects to have 350 exhibitors taking up 100,000 sq. ft.
The IFT annual meeting and show has been a tradition for 80 years. Although it alternates between Chicago and three coastal locations, the Chicago shows always have been the heaviest draws, packing in 23,000 the last time it was in the Windy City (as compared to 14,500 last year in Anaheim, Calif.).
The IFT Food Expo estimates it will have 760 exhibitors covering better than 200,000 sq. ft. Attendance at the combined shows is expected to be 20,000.
One registration works for both shows. (Register Here)
The event actually begins on Friday, July 16, with a day full of IFT short courses — 10 of them, some of them one-day only, some two days in length. They range from "Food Processing & Packaging for Product Developers" to "Recent Advances in the Development of Grain-Based Products Promoting Health." Most carry continuing education credits, and all involve charges beyond Food Expo attendance.
Saturday, July 17, has IFT volunteer and social activities, including a career fair and IFT member awards.
The show hits full stride Sunday, July 18, through Tuesday, July 20, with keynote addresses, technical sessions and the show floor.
Each association has its own committee meetings and special events each day. The following pages provide a glimpse of several booths worth visiting during the show.

(BPT) – Hearing loss is much more common than most people realize. In fact, it is such a prevalent condition that only arthritis and hypertension affect more people. If left untreated, the consequences of hearing loss can be severe and greatly impact the quality of life and personal relationships of those affected. Worst of all, it can end up hurting you and the ones you love.
Whether you are a spouse, a caregiver or a friend of someone with hearing loss, coping with the condition can be difficult. Communication may become greatly hindered, causing you to speak and share less with your loved one. It can also lead to less involvement in social activities and increased feelings of depression or sadness.
"Before my husband found the right treatment for his hearing loss, we found ourselves leaving early from social events or declining them altogether," says Sherree Listwa of her relationship with husband Howard Listwa. "Hearing all day at work and then again on the weekends for social events was too tiring for Howard. It was a little depressing for both of us as we had three busy sons and many social invitations."
According to the Better Hearing Institute, a large number of people wait 15 years or more from the point when they first recognize they have a hearing loss to when they purchase their first hearing aids. Once they take this step, it may take another several years of being unhappy with hearing aids for them to realize that they are not the only option. The good news is that there is another solution that can medically treat more substantial degrees of hearing loss.
"In 2008, after years of using the best and most powerful hearing aids, Howard's audiologist began to mention the possibility of a cochlear implant," says Listwa. "However, it wasn't until 2010 that Howard became serious about looking into the technology. The breaking point came when we observed someone with two cochlear implants in a noisy restaurant, talking and enjoying their meal. We knew that day that there was help and hope."
A cochlear implant is life-changing technology proven to help adults with severe to profound hearing loss, which is commonly known as "nerve deafness." Unlike hearing aids, which make sounds louder, cochlear implants bypass damaged parts of the inner ear and directly stimulate the hearing nerve to provide sound signals to the brain.
"Following Howard's cochlear implant in December 2010, there were immediate changes in his ability to hear and in our ability to participate in everyday things that most people take for granted," says Listwa. "We now enjoy socializing, going to concerts and have even made some new friends. Howard is also involved in playing his cello again and is able to read stories to our granddaughter. He says he has 'gotten his life back' and that's true for me as well."
Unlike hearing aids, cochlear implants are covered by Medicare, most private health insurance plans, and may be covered by Medicaid. Additionally, the cochlear implant evaluation is typically covered by most insurance companies.
"Howard wishes that he had looked into a cochlear implant earlier so he could have enjoyed the social life he now realizes he was missing. Our advice to anyone who is a candidate and is able to have the surgery is to go for it – you have everything to gain!"
To learn more and to find a cochlear implant clinic near you, visit www.Cochlear.com/US. If you would like to speak to someone who has a cochlear implant about their personal experience, call 1-800-483-3123 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
