The Canadian Grand Prix was a spanner in the works for Mercedes' otherwise flawless and dominant 2014 Formula 1 World Championship campaign.
Until both Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton struck technical trouble aboard their silver W05's in Montreal, they had shared a total clean-sweep of one-two victories this year.
"You quickly get used to winning," team boss Toto Wolff told Spanish reporters at the team's Brackley headquarters this week. "I never thought, unless there was a collision, that we could not finish a race even with one driver. But in Montreal it was about to happen. It was a good wake-up call."
The most immediate problem for Mercedes is getting to the bottom of the technical glitch, which Bild newspaper reports was an issue traced to the energy recovery systems, which overheated.
Wolff said: "In Montreal, we were trying a new cooling system for the first time. The new software went crazy. We have started new processes of quality control to make the car more reliable."
Team Chairman Niki Lauda added: "It is a wake-up call. We need to check every detail on the car."
But another issue to consider is the intense driver rivalry between Hamilton and Rosberg, who until Sunday appeared to have no external competitors for the 2014 crown.
Wolff was asked this week if, given his Canada DNF, the new 'double points' innovation for the 2014 season finale might be Hamilton's saving grace.
"It might," Wolff is quoted by Tuttosport, "but I have no doubt that, first of all, we must be careful to keep [the] gap to our rivals. Red Bull scored a lot of points in Canada."
As their personal battle waged in the most recent weeks, Mercedes' drivers have been told repeatedly that the Brackley team's main goal is actually the constructors' title.
But until now, Mercedes has let Rosberg and Hamilton wage their war almost unfettered, despite the risk of a crash.
"The team management is handling the situation very well," Hamilton told Germany's Sport Bild this week. "You have to realise that their ultimate goal is the constructors' title. That's what brings in the money.
"The team is number one," the Briton insisted. "Only after that do Nico and I have our personal battle."
At Monaco, however, that appeared not to be the case, as Hamilton had what many described as a 'tantrum', siding with those who believed that Rosberg had committed a deliberate act in running wide during Qualifying.
Hamilton says now: "I called Nico, we talked about Monaco and the situation is resolved.
"It was really important for both of us to show the team that we can continue to work well together."
For Hamilton in particular, given his now 22-point deficit to Rosberg, the obvious fear is that Mercedes will end the 'free fight' between the drivers in the wake of the escalating driver battle and, now, reliability fears.
Recalling his situation in 1998, David Coulthard this week recalled that McLaren managed its position of early-season dominance by slowing down the drivers with strict team orders.
Wolff, however, rejected the theory that the reliability problems last week in Canada were caused by Hamilton and Rosberg pushing their cars too hard in battle.
"The damage would have occurred even if they had slowed down," he insists. "We told the drivers how to manage it by changing the brake balance and braking more carefully. Both of them did it exactly to our specifications. That what happened to Lewis did not also happen to Nico was just pure luck."
Nonetheless, Wolff admitted that Mercedes' situation in mid-June is giving the team pause to "question whether we can let them continue to race so freely".
He is quoted by the Spanish daily AS: "We will continue to let them compete and fight as long as it does not undermine Mercedes.
"We are a Formula 1 team, not a team of two Formula 1 drivers," Wolff insisted. "We are all rowing in the same direction and share the same goal, which is simply to win the title.
"At the moment they continue to race freely, although the situation may change at any time. This is an ongoing, dynamic process," he added. (GMM)

(NBC News) Remember day one signup of Obamacare, and word that nationwide only 6 people signed up?
Well, the six week signup number sounds even worse with an average 1000 people signing up per state.
The White House says it cannot confirm the low signup figure but blames the website for this latest piece of disastrous P.R.
"The fact that the website has been so challenging and so problematic that first months mean that the enrollment number would be even lower than expected," said White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
And experts say no way healthcare.gov gets fixed by December 1ST.
"This site is maybe halfway through a four or five month testing period. I don't think it's going to be stable until late January or February at the earliest," said Robert Laszewski of the Health Policy and Strategy Associates.
That could lead to a signup imbalance.
Older, sicker people are motivated to enroll and buy coverage, while younger, healthy people will delay.
"If there's not a good signup balance and some of the markets don't get enough newcomers into them, then many of the insurers won't be able to find it viable," Diane Rowland of the Kaiser Family Foundation said.
Those companies could quit the exchanges adding to the chaos.
Meanwhile, Bill Clinton weighed in on existing polices being cancelled after President Obama promised they would not be.
"Even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people, said the former President.
Aides say Mr. Obama will have a plan but will not allow policies with poor coverage after January 1st.
By the end this week, the administration promises exact numbers on the signup for all Obamacare policies.

Everything 'Orwellian', say idiots
THE misuse of the adjective 'Orwellian' is reaching ludicrous proportions, experts have warned.
Academics believe that people who have never read Nineteen Eighty-Four or Animal Farm are using the term to describe absolutely anything they don't like.
English professor Julian Cook said: "The word 'Orwellian' refers to totalitarian control of the individual by the use of propaganda, surveillance and violence. It is nothing to do with having to put your recycling out.
"Similarly, speed cameras are not 'Orwellian'. Winston Smith does not spend 1984 trying to weasel out of a £75 fine for doing seventy on the A30.
"Even CCTV isn't really Orwellian, because merely being filmed in public does not result in you having a cage full of hungry rats put on your head.
"It's also incorrect to use the term to describe anything loosely connected with the state. People may not like the licence fee, but I suspect having to cough up £145 to see Doctor Who is better than living in Stalin's Russia."
Professor Cook added that Orwell would not have seen 'political correctness' as Orwellian, and would probably not have considered the right to use words like 'bird' and 'poof' as a valuable freedom.
Office worker Tom Logan said: "Of course I know what Orwellian means. It's all about science fiction films where the future isn't very nice.
"It's also to do with people monitoring everything you do, like when my girlfriend called me six times while I was in the pub with my mates. That was totally Orwellian."

Up to [DragonFly] / src / gnu / usr.bin / cc / cccp
Request diff between arbitrary revisions
Keyword substitution: kv
Default branch: MAIN
Since GCC 2.95.4 is known to produce bad code for higher optimization levels and CPU specific instructions sets, disable those for the system C compiler. Keeping at least the C compiler working is more important than a slight increase in compilation speed.
binutils214 stage 2/4. * Normalize binutils212 and binutils214. Remove /usr/bin/gcc{2,3}/* and move those binaries to /usr/libexec/gcc{2,3}. Adjust objformat to suit. * Hack up contrib/gcc3 to accomodoate library path requirements and fix STANDARD_BINDIR_PREFIX. Add a missing trailing '/' in STANDARD_EXEC_PREFIX. * Adjust /usr/src/etc/Makefile (upgrade_etc) to remove old GCC and BINUTILS junk. * Cleanup etc/mtree/BSD.usr.dist * Only build gcc2 for non-cross-compiled i386 native builds. Do not build libc_r for non-i386 architectures for now. Allow on sysctl based setproctitle() updates for non-i386 architectures for now. * Move ldscripts from /usr/libdata/gcc{2,3}/ldscripts into /usr/libexec/binutilsXXX/ldscripts and remove /usr/libdata/gcc{2,3}. * GCC vendor obrien->dillon, change TARGET_OS in various places from freebsd -> dragonfly. * Consolidate config.h differences for cross builds in the Makefiles so we need only have one config.h for binutils214/as. * Cleanup and fix default target BFD for the assembler and linker when cross-building. * Build both the 32 and 64 bit support BFD's for binutils214 even if just doing a native build. * Remove a bunch of alpha junk (incomplete). * Note gnu/usr.bin/binutils214/libbfd/dfly_targmatch.h contains aliases to match dragonfly BFD targets. Some are probably unnecessary but I had to move on. * Bring in a bunch of AMD64 related files (incomplete). * Update rpcgen to locate cpp with the current path instead of /usr/bin/cpp. Add rpcgen to the buildworld bootstrap tools. Obtained-From: A good chunk of the amd64-specific files were adapted from FreeBSD-5 (authored by Peter Wemm and others).
Remove the remainder of Makefile.sub handling. Make objformat aware of the new binutils location for cpp and f77. Make contrib/gcc aware of the new binutils locations as specified in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/cc/Makefile.inc. This is hardwired at the moment. This fixes dependancies on the old /usr/libexec/gcc2 directory.
Major GCC surgery. Move most compiler-specific files into named subdirectories and do a major overhaul of the front-end binaries in /usr/bin. /usr/libdata/gcc -> /usr/libdata/gcc2 /usr/libdata/ldscripts -> /usr/libdata/gcc2/ldscripts /usr/libexec/{all_gcc_bins} -> /usr/libexec/gcc2/* /usr/libexec/{elf,aout}/* -> /usr/libexec/gcc2/{elf,aout}/* OBJFORMAT_PATH has been changed from a full path to a base path, because the objformat binary (hardlinked to most compiler related binaries in /usr/bin) must now interpret the command name and use one of two different paths to find the actual binary. Previously certain gcc binaries, such as 'cc' and 'cpp', were directly installed in /usr/bin. That is no longer the case. Objformat now supports the GCCVER environment variable for vectoring the compiler version. This will be used to support gcc3 and other compilers.
Add the DragonFly cvs id and perform general cleanups on cvs/rcs/sccs ids. Most ids have been removed from !lint sections and moved into comment sections.

Uh Oh Bango Makes Grade in Berkeley
Uh Oh Bango outfought favored Bold Chieftain by a head in a terrific finish to post the first graded win of his career in the $100,000 Berkeley Stakes (gr. III) (VIDEO) at Golden Gate Fields May 30.
"I guess this race is just beyond him for whatever reason," said Baze of the runner-up. "He ran a very good race. I went a short head by (Uh Oh Bango) and he came back on and got me. He was very game. Youth was served today."
"Bold Chieftain got a head in front but my little horse dug in," said Gryder. "The last 50 yards he kept giving me a little more and a little more and a little more. He wanted it as bad as I did. His desire and will to win got him the victory."
"We wanted to run him in the Kentucky Derby last year but he developed a problem after the Arkansas Derby, so we had to give him time off and get started again," said Owens. "This horse seems to have really taken to synthetics (2-for-2). There were some good old horses in this race. Bold Chieftain -- it's a big thing to beat a horse like that."

Exclusive Footage From The BET Awards Red Carpet, Celebs Answer 'Is It Hard To Date In The Industry'?
You never know what you'll catch while on the BET Awards Red Carpet. This year, we caught up with a ton of celebs on the red carpet as they headed into the Awards show, and we also caught a few like Jamie Foxx and Gabby Douglas backstage. .
Everyone seemed pretty excited about Chris Tucker hosting the show, and when we asked what was a favorite Award show moment from prior years, the overwhelming response was when Beyonce performed "Crazy In Love" with Jay-Z. The question of the night, that we asked everyone was, "Is it hard to date in the Industry, especially as a celebrity" and we received some interesting answers.
LeToya Luckett expressed that it's hard for her to tell if the person is dating her for who she is, or just because she is a singer with an album coming out, while Bobby Valentino said, "You want someone that's all about you and most of the time, you meet a woman that likes not just you as a person, but everyone in your genre." Singer Mya also expressed that she has issues with her boyfriends cheating on her because she's always on the road, while Kevin McCall (who is dating Eva Marcille) said, "If [men] would be more honest, they would have more leeway. I'm honest and it is what it is and my girl is willing to deal with that and she let's me know what it is and I do what I gotta do to make sure we work."
Catch our exclusive red carpet and backstage footage below:
Cameos by: Gabby Douglas, Jamie Foxx, Gabrielle Union, Mya, Meagan Good, Bobby Valentino, Amber & Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Nelly, Luke James, Taraji P. Henson, Bridget Kelly, Angela Bassett, Tamala Mann, Toya Wright, Angela Simmons, Snoop Lion, Future and Ciara.

New trade school set for credit union
CORPUS CHRISTI - A former Teacher's Credit Union building near Allen Samuels Chevrolet is being renovated into a new trade school.
The property, at 2000 S. Padre Island Drive, was sold to MAG Enterprises and most recently housed Maverick Engineering. It was sold to a private company and its new tenant is ATI Enterprises, a North Richland Hills-based company.
Matt Nine, a managing partner of Premier Realty Advisors, represented the company in the transaction and said construction started this week and is expected to continue through April 1, when the school is scheduled to open.
The interior of the building will be renovated, with an additional 6,400 square feet added to the building for a total of 30,000 square feet, Nine said.
He declined to comment on the name of the school or the types of skills it would teach, saying the company is awaiting word on licensing and permitting requirements before sharing that information.
The property appealed to the company because the location had a large parking lot and provides maximum exposure to South Padre Island Drive and Crosstown Expressway, Nine said. It doesn't hurt that it will be across the freeway from the proposed Crosstown Commons outdoor mall at Greenwood Drive and Holly Road, said real estate broker Matthew Cravey.
Cravey said the property's appeal also included its trees.
"It gave the property a campus feel," Cravey said.

UT's Ballard found guilty, placed on probationWritten by Zach Davis | | email@example.com
After being removed from the University of Toledo football team on May 25 stemming from a felonious assault charge, senior Isaiah Ballard has been found guilty of a lesser charge.
Ballard was found guilty of the first degree misdemeanor "Assault Knowingly Attempt or Cause Physical Harm to Another or Another's Unborn." The charge was amended to a lesser infraction upon recommendation by the prosecutor for "good cause shown." He will be placed on probation and the case has been continued to Aug. 17.
"I was blessed today I thank everyone for praying and belieaving (sic) this will be behind me," wrote Ballard on his Facebook page after the ruling.
The incident took place on May 15 when Ballard assaulted 23-year-old UT graduate and current Bowling Green graduate student Carlos Ruiz, breaking his jaw and bruising his face, throat and eye.
Ruiz will be receiving restitution for his medical bills as part of the sentencing requirements attached to Ballard's probation.
Ruiz had his jaw wired shut for a month and said he lost 17 pounds since the incident.
Ballard has left the University of Toledo after his scholarship was removed by the team. The Toledo-native has 10 priors on his record dating back to Sept. 2007, nine of which he has been found guilty.
Ballard was also found guilty on July 1 on the charge "Open Container any other Public Place" and is required to pay a $50 fine and $64 in costs.
Along with both July rulings, Ballard has been convicted of "Disorderly Conduct; Engage in Fight/Threaten," "Loitering; Obstruct Free Passage of Pedestrians or Vehicles" and "Failure to Disperse" since 2008. He also has four traffic violations on his record.
Ballard started all 13 games last year at the "star" position, a linebacker/safety hybrid, where he finished third on UT with 83 tackles to go along with two interceptions and five pass breakups.

Margaret Sullivan, public editor of the New York Times, writes about skepticism surrounding the paper's Syria coverage given the paper's shameful role in the run-up to the Iraq war. It's a thoughtful piece, with only one quote that suggests itself as an easy target for snark: NYT managing editor Dean Baquet's. "The press's coverage of Iraq always lurks in the background. But it was a long, long time ago."

Letter: Officers showed professionalism in May 19 standoff with suspect
The recent standoff between the Sevierville police and a felon from Florida occurred immediately outside my home on Sunday, May 19. Having our windows open to enjoy the weather, my family knew immediately that something very serious was taking place, and I could hear the majority of what was exchanged between the police officers on scene as they attempted to communicate with the individual for nearly two hours.
I was amazed at the professionalism and poise with which the officers conducted themselves under what I expect must be the most difficult of circumstances they face in a career.
I have no idea what brought that troubled man to the stop sign on the corner of my street, by my driveway, at my house, on that time, on that day but I am certainly thankful that the Sevierville Police Department, Sevier County Sheriff's Department and all other responders to this incident were there and truly selflessly serving and protecting the citizens of Sevier County.
In a society where it is becoming trendy to bash the police, I want to clearly express my gratitude for the sacrifice these officers make on a daily basis. Having been so close to this event, I have a more clear understanding of what that sacrifice must be like for them and their families.

Valiant for Truth
Posts by: John G. Bales
Certainly the most familiar and beloved of the standards of unity within the Reformed tradition is the Heidelberg Catechism. Its simplicity and warm devotion have nurtured Reformed laypeople for hundreds of years. I like how Howard Hageman
Abraham Kuyper was a remarkable man. An ordained minister and Doctor of Sacred Theology, he pastored churches, edited newspapers and wrote many helpful books. Yet, his service to God extended well beyond pastoring and writing.
The study of theology is complex and elicits many questions. What is theology? What are its major approaches? What are the various disciplines within theology? If there is more than one discipline within theology, how are the various disciplines integrated? Where does the study of the Bible fit within this broad subject? What is the relationship between historical theology and systematic theology? These are just a few of the perennial questions related to the study of theology.
Pastoral ministry is almost a lost art. Pastors today are so driven by techniques and methods to reach the lost that they have forgotten their primary calling, to preach the gospel and tend to the flock that God has entrusted them.
Some of the details of J. Gresham Machen's death on New Year's Day 1937 are recorded in two excellent biographies by Ned Stonehouse and D. G. Hart. But on a recent trip back to my hometown of Bismarck, North Dakota, I was able to view copies of the Bismarck Tribune for January 2nd and 4th, 1937, at the State Library.

Did you know?
The first Egyptian Calendar was determined by the yearly flood waters, followed by the Tut star calendar year due to astronomical and geographical reasons in the year 4241 BC.
The ancient Egyptians documented their adherence to the calendar year in the "Legend of the Creation of the Year " found in the Unas pyramid.
Egyptians celebrated the creation of the official Calendar with a feast at the start of the calendar year called "Wbet-Rnept".
Initially, the calendar was accurate, but over time, and the neglect of some rulers, dates began to get shifted and became inaccurate. Several recorded texts of people's complaints about this inaccuracy can be found. This neglect got to such a point where the start date of the calendar year no longer coincided with the flood, and got closer to the 'Sun Celebrations' or what we now call Spring, where the celebration got merged into one under the name "The Feast of the Rivers" " Ni - Aarú of ", as documented in several late demotic and Coptic era writings.
Following the Persian invasion of Egypt around 525 BC, the "Feast of the Rivers" was still celebrated but, given the Persian and Greek influence, an additional letter "S" was added to the name of the festival. Eventually, Persians adapted the name of the festival to become "Noruz", which was added to their yearly festivals and used to develop the Persian calendar.
The Romans adopted the idea of the Persian calendar, and began to also use spring, corresponding to today's month of April, as the start date of their own calendar. According to some historical accounts, the notion of the "April's Fool" originated when Pope Gregory XIII changed the start of the calendar year to January 1st. At the time, many people refused to comply with the change, so they would get sent to "Fool's Errands" or get tricked to believe in things that do not exist, in order for the public to laugh at them and for them to eventually switch to the new calendar. The April's Fool day notion spread to the rest of the world and it remains celebrated with humour.
Thus the various Egyptian calendar years are:
- The Flood year
- The Tut year
- New Year's Day Festival (Wbets - Rnept )
- Festival of the Rivers (Ni - Aarú )
- Festival of the Spring (Nayrooz)
*Thanks to the Egyptian Identity Guards

Cereal Thriller: Cashew Orange Milk Chocolate
Nuanced: Feuilletine coated in milk chocolate with candied orange zest and roasted cashews. A bright crispy punch to sprinkle on ice cream, yogurt or fresh fruit. Pictured: we made a trifle with layers of vanilla pudding and whip cream.
What is feuilletine? Long used in my pastry repetoire, I often describe feuilletine as "French corn flakes". Like a corn flake but more refined: caramelized, malty flavor delivered in razor thin flakes. When coated in chocolate, they stay crisp, crisp, crisp. Someone once described their effect in dessert of mine as "effervescent."
Ingredients: Feuilletine, milk chocolate, cashews, orange zest, salt.
Net Weight: 3 oz/85 grams.

From TMZ:
Donna Summer — the Queen of Disco — died this morning after a battle with cancer … TMZ has learned.
We're told Summer was in Florida at the time of her death. She was 63 years old.
Sources close to Summer tell us … the singer was trying to keep the extent of her illness under wraps. We spoke to someone who was with Summer a couple of weeks ago … who says she didn't seem too bad.
In fact, we're told she was focused on trying to finish up an album she had been working on.
This is literally a piece of my childhood dying. No, I didn't grow up in the seventies—but her music was always a favorite when I was younger, and still is to this day. It's like my childhood is being killed off piece by piece. Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Donna Summer … if this is what getting old is all about, I can tell you right now—it sucks ass. I've talked about Donna before on the site, and this news seriously bums me out.
Rest in peace, Donna.

Last week we shared our list of the 10 greatest baseball movies of the '90s. And at the top of that list was The Sandlot. Why? Because it is not only the greatest baseball movies of the '90s, but one of the best achievements in cinema history (IMHO). How the Academy managed to overlook this masterpiece is totally beyond us.
It's hard to believe that it's been 20 years (today!) since we first watched Scotty Smalls on his quest to rescue his dad's prized Babe Ruth-autographed baseball from the clutches of The Beast. It seems like the phrase "You're killing me, Smalls!" has been around forever! What kind of people would we be today without growing up with Squints, Ham, Benny The Jet, Yeah-Yeah and the rest of the crew? Did hot lifeguard Wendy Peffercorn give us unreasonable expectations about love/pools? These are heavy questions indeed.
In honor of the beloved classic turning 20 years old today, we've decided to check in with the team (and the rest of the cast) and see how they look and what they're up to today. Enjoy!

Step 1: Attach nail
The first step is to hammer a nail into the wall. I was not allowed to, but luckily there were two nails already in that wall. So I decided to do a hanging shelf on a single nail. To hold it steady sticky tape was fixed to the wall at strategic locations. This helps the shelf stay in place even when loaded unevenly.
Step 2: Add shelves
Step 3: Load it up
You can attach various other storage units to this, limited only by the carrying capacity of that single nail.

External HD not recognised
Hi all,
Does anyone know why my Toshiba EXT HD only works with my iMac when it is plugged in via a USB ext cable and not when it is plugged in directly?
Can you describe what you mean by "plugged in directly?"
Plugged in directly meaning the USB lead that came with the external drive was plugged into a spare USB port on the back of my iMac and nothing works or is seen by the iMac,
so if I then unplug it from the mac and then i plug it into a USB extension cable it will work fine
If one cable works and one doesn't - the one that doesn't work would be a bad cable.
Thanks bobtomay but it is the same cable thad i am using to plug into the USB extension so if lead is bad it shouldn't work that way either?
It is strange that it will only work when plugged into the extension cable and not straight to the mac
"Extension cable"? Is this a powered hub or attached to a powered hub?
It is non powered, about 3 feet long with a USB plug on one end and a socket on the other
I assume by now powered you mean it is not plugged into a powered hub? Could it be a cable similar to this one? If so, the cable may be providing additional power. There are a number of bus powered hard drives that do not play nicely with some Mac models due to power issues.
USB 2.0 Extension Cable
The External HDD is a Toshiba 500GB and it comes with a short USB lead attached to it.
When I plug this into a USB socket on my iMac nothing happens and it is nor recognised in any way.
If i then unplug the Toshiba HHD from the iMac and then plug it into a simple USB extension lead similar to this one
USB 2.0 Extension Cable
It works! the iMac recognises it and I am able to use it, format it and have time machine back up to it.
I can't understand that why a simple USB extension lead that only serves the purpose of basically moving a USB port to the end of a cable so that you don't have to look around the back of the computer to find it makes the drive work? The External HDD should work by plugging it straight to the USB port of the iMac with out the need to use an extension.
I've never seen a Toshiba external hard drive that had a USB 2 lead permanently attached to it. Can you give us the model number?
The model number is: HDTB105EK3AA
I just looked up your model Toshiba external hard drive. It's a USB 3.0 hard drive and therefore needs to use the special USB 3 cable. USB 3 cables can be plugged into a USB 2 connector on your Mac, however, the end that attaches to the drive has to be the special USB 3 connector.
You keep referring to the drive as USB 2. If the model number you gave me above is correct the drive is definitely a USB 3 type. So I'm thoroughly confused as to what exactly you've been doing with a USB 2 extension cable?
Here's the advertisement of the drive from Amazon.com:
Toshiba HDTB105EK3AA 500GB Stor.E Basics USB 3.0 2.5 Inch External Hard Drive - Black
OK just to clarify,
The drive will only work when plugged into a USB extension cable, it will not work when i connect it without the USB extension cable.
The drive comes with a USB 3 connecting cable that plugs into the drive and then into the Mac, but using this method does not work.
To get the drive to work I use the same USB connecting cable that came with the drive and instead of plugging it directly into the mac, I have to use a USB extension cable and plug the drive into that and then plug the other end into the Mac. It will now work as normal.
So the USB 2 extension cable I only use to get the thing working, it should work without it but it doesn't
What model mac and OS are you using?
The only thing I can think of, is the connection on the iMac is tighter with the extension cable plugged in and not with the EHD cable plugged in (you would have to get another USB 3 cable to test this).
Hi all,
Just been down to my local computer store and tried my drive on a iMac display model and the same thing happens on that too, the guy at the store had a spare drive cable that i tried and that didn't work either so concluded it was a faulty Toshiba drive. He said it was weird and he had never seen this problem before.
My iMac is the 27inch model running Mavericks and it is about 3 weeks old.

$32,857 – $40,449 Invoice
17 / 25 MPG City/Hwy
Enter your information and a representative will contact you for this 2011 Acura TL !
This midsize luxury sedan has undergone several improvements in recent model years, including a more powerful engine, a re-tuned suspension, an optional manual transmission, and an overall repositioning as a conservatively sporty choice. The 2011 TL carries over from the previous year.
The base model of the 2011 Acura TL features 17-inch alloy wheels, leather upholstery, automatic Xenon headlights, power accessories, Bluetooth connectivity, and an 8-speaker sound system. The TL SH-AWD trim steps up to 18-inch wheels (with 19-inch wheels optional), a more powerful engine, Acura's proprietary all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, upgraded brakes and seats, upgraded interior trim, and available two-tone interior. Both trims offer an optional Technology package, which adds a hard-drive-based navigation system with voice recognition, GPS-linked and solar-sensing climate control, upgraded leather upholstery, keyless ignition, and a 10-speaker sound system. The trunk provides just over 13 cubic feet of cargo space, according to the manufacturer.
The 2011 Acura TL's base power plant is a 280-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that works with front-wheel drive and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The TL SH-AWD trim employs a 305-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6 engine and an AWD system that allots varying power to front and rear wheels depending on the situation. With that drivetrain, a 6-speed manual transmission with hill-start assist is optional. The base engine delivers 18 mpg in the city and 26 mpg on the highway; the larger engine returns 17 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway, according to the EPA.
Standard safety features on the 2011 Acura TL include anti-lock disc brakes with brake assist, stability control, traction control, front side air bags, side curtain air bags, and active front head restraints. A rearview camera is optional. The 2011 Acura TL received the highest-possible "Good" rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in frontal offset, rear-impact, and side-impact crash testing.
Starting MSRP for the 2011 Acura TL was $35,305.

We've had a couple of questions from tenants who have spent their own money making their rented apartment more comfortable, but their landlords now want to raise their rent.
If you plan to spend time and money improving a rented apartment, discuss the implications with your landlord or agent.
The improvements you make are worth nothing to them while you are still there. They only have any value when you're gone and they can rent the unit at a higher rate to someone else.
So the simplest way to protect your investment may be to lock yourself into a long-term lease before you start making any improvements.
In one of the examples, the landlord changed agents and the new one saw how attractive the apartment was and wanted to hike the rent by 25 per cent.
In that case, and any other where you feel you are being treated unfairly, you can go to Fair Trading and argue that the rent increase is excessive.
But in another case, the rent rise was prompted by an increase in the rent of a nearby flat.
That's harder to argue since Fair Trading bases its calculations on the current market value of similar properties in that area.

The third perigee, or "super" full moon to occur this summer rises Sept. 9. But as big moons have gone, this one will be somewhat shrimpier. If you want a real show, wait another three years, when a rare total solar eclipse takes place right overhead.
Meanwhile, here's what to know:
Supermoons occur when the moon is at perigee, the point in its orbit closest to Earth, as it becomes full. Those moons appear larger and brighter.
The moon rises about at 8 p.m. Sept. 8 but won't be at its closest to earth until just after 1 a.m. Sept. 9.
At perigee, the moon will be a mere 216,000 or so miles away from Charleston.
It will appear largest at moon rise, but the timing and its position in relation to earth will make it appear somewhat smaller than the super-super moon that rose in August.
On the other hand:
The first total solar eclipse over the continental United States since 1979 takes place Aug. 21, 2017.
The eclipse will the first total one seen all across the lower 48 state since 1918.
It leaves the mainland just northeast of Charleston
In Charleston, total eclipse takes place about 2 p.m.
Umbraphile is the term for someone who loves eclipses.

Updated at: 02/25/2013 9:08 AM
(AP) WASHINGTON - The Supreme Court has agreed to consider reinstating the conviction and death sentence of a man who said he was high on meth when he killed a Kansas sheriff.
The justices on Monday said they will review a state Supreme Court ruling that granted a new trial to Scott Cheever, who admitted to shooting Greenwood County Sheriff Matt Samuels.
The Kansas court said Cheever's rights were violated during his trial because a psychiatrist was allowed to testify about Cheever's psychological records without his consent.
Samuels' death prompted changes in the Kansas criminal code to make it more difficult to purchase the ingredients used in making meth.
The case will be argued in the fall.
The case is Kansas v. Cheever, 12-609.

Video:Signs of Passive Aggressive Behavior in a Spousewith Dr. Paul Hokemeyer
Passive-aggressive behavior can manifest itself in a myriad of ways. Get tips on how to recognize passive aggressive behavior in a spouse in this how-to video from About.com.See Transcript
Transcript:Signs of Passive Aggressive Behavior in a Spouse
Hi, I'm Dr. Paul Hokemeyer, I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist based in New York City. I'm here for About.com to talk about passive-aggressive relationships.
Passive-Aggressive Does Not Mean Physically-Aggressive
Typically when we think of aggression, we think of physical acts of violence, but passive-aggressive behavior is not that at all. It's a much more subtle type of aggression. When we're looking for passive-aggressive behavior in a spouse, we want to look for a spouse who doesn't have the capacity to process anger in a healthy way. We also look for a spouse who doesn't have the capacity to assume responsibility for their actions.
How Passive-Aggressiveness Manifests Itself
Typically this manifests itself in a lot of excuses, so they become very forgetful. Other signs for a spouse who is passive-aggressive is their fear of dependency, that they basically keep pushing you away, and with this is this fear of intimacy. So the pushing you away comes from their incapacity to handle intimacy and vulnerability that comes in a relationship.
There's also this disconnect between what they say and what they do. So they could say that they love you very much, yet they forget significant events in your life. They forget your birthday, they forget your anniversary.
Procrastination and Passive-Aggressiveness
Another thing we want to look for in a spouse who is passive-aggressive is this constant procrastination, where they say they're going to do something and it never happens.
So you keep on asking them to do a chore around the house, and they say, "Oh, I'll do it," but then it never gets done. So it's this constant procrastination where they're controlling the situation, they're taking out their hostility, they're taking out their anger, by not giving you what you're asking for. So that's where the passive aggression comes in. It's this very covert, very convoluted way of taking out their anger and their hostility toward you.
For more information about passive-aggressive behavior in a spouse, please visit About.com.

AVT, Inc., Coinstar (Redbox) and Starbucks are setting their sights on the exploding automated out-of-home coffee market. According to an article in the Wall Street Journal, the automated coffee kiosk market is worth over $800 million a year, and has space for as many as 70,000 units. "By comparison, there are about 43,700 Redbox machines now," according to the Journal, so the market potential is enormous.
AVT is leading this market with their Marley Coffee Automated Cafes, which provide a barista-quality cup of coffee. The AVT systems provide specially filtered spring water, gourmet roasts – including the famed Marley Jamaican Blue Mountain (one of the most highly desirable blends in the world), and fresh grind whole beans for each cup. The AVT systems also can brew cappuccino, espresso, mocha and other specialty drinks. By contrast, Coinstar is betting that the public wants a lesser-quality product and is offering Seattle's Best in their systems, which is the Starbucks bargain brand.
Coffee consumption continues to grow – especially the gourmet sector. More than 150 million Americans drink coffee on a daily basis. It is the number-one hot beverage of choice among convenience store customers, generating about 78 percent of sales within the hot dispensed beverages category (source: Wikipedia). The coffee industry in the United States is valued at about $19 billion each year, and gourmet coffees account for about half of that industry value.
AVT is the exclusive U.S. distributor of Marley Coffee branded kiosks and automated coffee stores, and will put thousands of company-owned units into the market within the next two years and has projected sales from these systems over $24 million by year-end 2014.
AVT is also partnering with Ron Brown - the famed the former NFL player and Pro-Bowl star, to offer entrepreneurs the opportunity to open a Marley Coffee Automated Cafe. "The reception has been incredible," Brown stated. "We are providing the opportunity for anyone to start their own business in a dynamic and growing market, with little capital requirements, overhead or start-up costs."
According to a recent article in the Press Enterprise, AVT is on course to reach $100 million in sales. "We grew over 50 percent last year, in part due to our ability to innovate and attract the biggest brands in the world, including Wal Mart, Wrigley's, Rug Doctor, Dr. Scholl's, Blue Rhino, and Quiksilver," Shannon Illingworth, AVT Founder and Chairman commented. "Our five-year strategic growth plan is on-track as we continue to gain market share, increase production, and create revenue magnifiers through our multiple divisions."

Want some easy ideas for healthy snacks you can grab when you need a pick-me-up?
Instead of reaching for a bag of chips or cookies while you work from home, take a little time on the weekend to prepare healthy snacks for the work week ahead. Your body and wallet will thank you later.
Here are our favorite recommendations for grab-n-go grub:
Make Ahead Snacks
Fresh Vegetables
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cut up easy to eat vegetables like carrots, celery, and cucumbers and put them in snack bags or individual Tupperware containers. It only takes a few minutes to prepare these healthy treats that are a great fix when you get the munchies.
Fruit Salad
Prep Time: 10 -15 minutes
Add fruit to your grocery list this week and cut everything up for a colorful fruit salad. If you add a can of pineapple with the juice to your fruit salad it will keep in the fridge for a couple of days. You'll have a healthy treat that will curb the after-lunch sweet tooth.
Hard-Boiled Eggs
Prep Time: 15+ minutes
Boil a few eggs and store in the refrigerator for a healthy protein snack during the day. Hard-boiled eggs are great mashed up on toast in the morning, cut up on a salad, or plain with a pinch of salt. You can never go wrong with the incredible, edible egg as a healthy snack.
Store-Bought Healthy Options
Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt is higher in protein content and lower in sugar than most regular yogurt. It's a little more tangy than its sugary cousin, but a little fresh fruit helps cut the tart.
Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese Stick
Cheese is another great protein option and part-skim mozzarella is a healthy choice for those who love cheese but want something that isn't too high in fat. Take your time peeling and eating strands of cheese for built-in break.
Trail Mix
There are hundreds of pre-made trail mix options at the grocery store. You can find everything from combos of chocolate bits and seeds to dried fruits and nuts. If you're watching your weight or have dietary restrictions, check the label for sugar and fat content and peanut allergy warnings before you purchase.
A snack of apples is classic. You can keep them handy on your kitchen counter and grab one anytime. If you like a little variety, try spreading natural peanut butter on a few apple slices for added nutrition. Trust us, your afternoon food craving will thank you!
Handful of Raw Almonds
You can buy almonds in bulk and portion them out into small bags. Almonds are easily stored in your food pantry or kitchen cupboards, and just a few offer protein and fiber to curb any cravings you might have.
We want to hear from you! What snacks do you reach for during the day? Share your story in a comment below and interact with us on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest.

Yeah but the TV contract that ESPN offered last year that got turned down was 130 million... last offer after the defects was 60 million.... so that is minus 70 million...ad the 40 million from the departures and the big east is facing a 30 million dollar hole.
apologize amaze dinnc. I saw french basketball and like most american's thought it was a misprint.
Sidelined for a week? sidelined from what? The off season?
With insurance and taxes its about 1625 a month to own
The two guys in the front of the picture look at least 40. Is that what we call Youth now?
I think box office records are fair. I know there are people out there that want to argue that Gone with the wind is the top if you adjust for inflation but you also need to adjust for the fact that there was absolutely no entertainment competition. A lot easier to get people to pay a quarter if you are the only thing going.
This show caters to the 1000 show moms in the country and the 3 million pedophiles that watch it.
actually volunteer firefighters get a TAX PAYER provided retirement after so many years of service, so lets not pretend that they do it for nothing more than the goodness they feel. I do support volunteer fire fighters but I can't stand when they say they do it for nothing because not one that i have known in my life has ever turned down the retirement.
Well i will say it for him Dyngus Day is stupid.
That would be sweet if it was universal. Anytime that i needed dental work or had a health problem i could walk into court with saggy pants. Go to jail for three days, get all fixed up for free and then return home.
Contact Richard Donner
Nope, I go up to the lake house I own in Clayton for the holiday weekends. But nice try. Where you were born has very little to do with what you become.
Best part about these posts? Got one guy named phishphan 420 calling other people white trash and another person whose picture is a picture of his dumb tattoo calling other people rednecks. Love the irony.
If you are on a Golf Course and you do not swear or kick a golf club then you really do not care about the game of Golf.
and then he rose from the dead to plague the world as ZOMBIE JESUS
There is nothing worse than someone who has never played full contact competitive football voicing their opinion about it. It is almost as bad as women commenting on men sports at all.
Apologies for making a mistake i meant Benuelos. Still believe he will be used to pry a top toer pitcher
I had a suspicion after the trade for him that the yankees ultimately wanted to use him and noesci to trade for Lincecum because the giants can't afford both him and cain.
If you can plan and buy enough to get free shipping its great. But waiting a week for some dish cleaner may not be in your best interest. Though neither is shopping at Walmart.
Making abortion illegal or uncomfortable will not stop abortions. It never has and never will. You make it illegal in Texas they can go to a different state or a different country. Or worse they do it themselves. only 1 out of 4 children in this country get adopted when they are put up for adoption the rest stay as a massive burden to tax payers and we can't have that we need to lower spending . Of course you can cut off all aid to the poor, make them have unplanned babies, allow the babies to get sick and die or starve and die all in the name of sanctity of life because that's what Jesus would have wanted.

Hegazy, who is scheduled to take part in an IMF-sponsored discussion on 'The Political Economy of Transition in the Middle East', said before his departure that the Egyptian delegation would take advantage of the global meeting to resume talks with the IMF over a pending $4.8 billion loan to the struggling country.
An IMF technical team left Cairo on Tuesday after two weeks of talks with Egyptian officials yielded no conclusive outcome regarding its loan deal with Egypt.
The IMF cut its 2013 growth forecast for the Egyptian economy to 2 percent in its April 2013 World Economic Outlook report, released on Tuesday, down from the 3 percent initially predicted last October.
The international lender blamed political instability in the country for the subdued growth.
"In Egypt, the uncertainty generated by a protracted political transition has held back growth and led to an increase in fiscal and external imbalances," the WEO report read.
Egypt has been rocked by successive waves of political unrest, since a popular revolution overthrew the thirty-year-old regime of former president Hosni Mubarak in 2011.
