Hello all,
I have recently bought a WD external essential 3 tb drive. It's a 3.0, and i figured It was due time to upgrade my router anyways so I thought I would go with a router with a 3.0 usb drive. I have used external drives on 2.0 routers before and it wasn't plausible then, but since I have the drive already, I thought I might as well buy a router with 3.0 and give it a shot.
Most of my searches brought me to the Dlink DIR 865. I am turned off of this model because it apparently only supports drives up to 500g. The closest I have been able to find that is 3.0, is the RT-n65U http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6833320131. I found this chart that shows it should support up to 2 g. http://event.asus.com/2009/networks/disksupport/
Can anyone make a better suggestion? I would like to fully utilize the 3tb I have. but I guess the r65u will do if I can't find anything better.

Toshiba to Build Fab for 3D NAND Flash
21 comments
LONDON — Toshiba is preparing to increase NAND flash manufacturing capacity and move to vertically organized 3D NAND with the start of construction in August of the second phase of Fab 5 at its Yokkaichi facility in Mie, Japan.
The building work will be completed in summer of 2014, Toshiba said in a statement, noting that decisions on equipment investment have not yet been taken but "will reflect market trends." This is a way of saying that Toshiba will vary the amount and speed of its capital expenditure at the site depending on market conditions.
A year ago, in July 2012, Toshiba cut NAND flash production by 30 percent because it had concerns about market oversupply and downward pressure on chip prices. However, within six weeks some customers for NAND flash were complaining that they could not get enough of the memory chips. (See: NAND flash memory in short supply.) Prices for NAND chips, which had been in decline for many years, have picked up in 2013. A weaker yen also gives Toshiba an advantage over rivals such as Samsung and SK Hynix in South Korea.
The second phase of Fab 5 will be built with an emphasis on minimizing the impact on the environment. LED-based lighting and energy-saving production methods with waste heat recovery are expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 13 percent compared with Fab 4 on the same Yokkaichi site.
When kitted out with equipment, Fab 5 Phase 2 will be capable of running Toshiba's multilayered BiCS (Bit-Cost Scalable) manufacturing process for 3D NAND memories. Although this kind of technology is not yet in production, Toshiba is leading the charge towards 3D NAND. In late 2012 the company announced that it had 16-layer prototype devices based on a 50 nm diameter vertical channel. Samples are due this year with volume production in 2015.

MIAMI — Charges have been dropped against a South Florida man accused of raising tens of thousands of dollars with his father and brother for the Pakistani Taliban terror group.
U.S. District Judge Robert Scola dismissed terrorism support charges against Irfan Khan on Tuesday.
Khan, his father, Hafiz Khan, and his younger brother, Izhar Khan, were charged along with three others with collecting and funneling at least $50,000 to the Pakistani Taliban.
The group has been linked to al-Qaida and prosecutors say it played a role in a failed attempt to bomb Times Square in New York in May 2010, among other attacks.
The charges against Hafiz and Izhar Khan, both of which are imams at local mosques, remain.
Lawyers for the prosecution and defense did not immediately return requests for comment.

There's a pair of very important things to consider when you read the following list of the 5 most hated teams in the NFL. First of all, this is just my opinion on what I see from people I talk to on a regular basis to what's being said on Sportscenter. With that standardized disclaimer, we're off.
5. Oakland Raiders
We start our top 5 countdown with a team that's consistently been the butt of many personnel jokes over the past decade. Still, they've been able to build a competitive roster in the past couple of years, but they've failed to put it together in the form of a playoff run. The Raiders are entering the 2012 season as an underdog. Even with their poor luck over the past decade, they're still a team we love to hate.
4. Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys may be "America's team," but they're also viewed as one of the most arrogant organizations in the league. Jerry Jones would have fired a general manager with his own track record years ago, but well, he can't exactly fire himself now can he? Still, you would think a mind so great and all knowing as his could put together a team that's built to go deep in the playoffs. The greatest thing his team has done in the past decade was in building Jerry's World.
3. New York Jets
The Jets are the poster boys of the NFL for dysfunctional teams. They continuously insist that Mark Sanchez is their guy (a notion that still confuses me), but then they bring in Tim Tebow, the most controversial figure in the NFL today. Rex Ryan can't control his locker room, and he doesn't know when to shut up and get results. In all honesty, I don't think the word "hate" describes most peoples' feelings towards the Jets. In all reality, they're more of a running joke than a team to hate.
2. New England Patriots
Bill Belichick and Tom Brady; two guys that nearly everyone loves to hate. It's possible that we hate them because they've been to 5 Super Bowls together, winning the first 3. It's possible that we hate them because they win so damn often, and it's possible we hate them because they never drop us enough information in their press conferences. Regardless of the reasons, we know one thing. We really hate the New England Patriots.
1. New Orleans Saints
A year ago, I wouldn't have thought it was possible for a team to be hated more than the Patriots while Tom Brady and Bill Belichick were still in the NFL, but then the Saints went off and proved me wrong. People don't hate the Saints because they likely orchestrated a bounty system. People hate the Saints because they are still claiming innocence, even as the NFL begins to release evidence that appears to be "compelling" according to Peter King.

|This climb was part of the 2010 Summitpost gathering in the San Juan Mountains. Kessler and I decided to join the activity. The group met at 5:45 AM at Silverton. We carpooled to the trailhead, but there was some confusion as to where the trailhead actually was, so we ended up walking some extra distance.
We followed the trail up to near Highland Mary Lakes to where we left the trail and climbed up Whitehead Peak. After climbing Whitehead Peak, we climbed the ridge south over to Mount Rhoda where we all had a short rest. Most people went around the cliffs back to the ridgeline, but Kessler and I climbed down the cliffs directly, just for fun.
The group then climbed over to Peak 13,434 where we had lunch. It was also decision time. There were some poofy clouds to the east, but the wind was coming from the southwest where it was clear. I thought we'd be OK to go on to the next peak (especially since the rest of the ridge was gentle), but was outvoted.
All three peaks we climbed over had some nice views of the more rugged peaks in the San Juans including the Grenadiers and Needles.
After enjoying the views we all headed back down the mountain through the Spencer Basin. I stopped in the Spencer Basin to talk to Aaron and other members of the group, but I had to almost run down the mountain to catch up with my son Kessler. We had made a deal that the last one of us down the mountain was a princess. I guess I can be called Princess Dad for the next little while.

Microvascular clipping is a surgery to cut off blood flow to a cerebral
aneurysm. This prevents bleeding and rupture. Typically, a portion of the skull is removed (a procedure called a
craniotomy) and restored during this complex, open surgery.
Microvascular clipping prevents a
brain aneurysm from causing more damage. It will not fix already damaged areas of the brain, but it can improve quality of life by stopping bleeding or preventing rupture.
Problems may occur from the procedure. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Discuss these risks with your doctor before surgery.
Your appointment before the surgery may include:
Women should let their doctor know if they are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.
Before your procedure:
General anesthesia
will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery.
In the operating room, the nurses and doctors will connect you to monitors to watch your blood pressure, heart rate, and pulse. A catheter will be inserted to collect urine during surgery. An IV will be placed in your arm for sedation and anesthesia. The nurse will cut the hair off an area of your head for surgery.
A craniotomy will be performed, removing a small section of the skull to access the brain. X-rays and microscopic viewing may help locate the exact weakened area of the blood vessel. The aneurysm will be separated from nearby healthy brain tissue. A titanium clip will be placed to clamp off the entire artery to the aneurysm to isolate it from general circulation. The clip will stay in place to permanently prevent bleeding and/or rupture.
The section of skull will be replaced, and the scalp will be stitched back into place.
When the procedure is done, the catheter and IV line will be removed. You will need to lie still for 6-8 hours or more. You will stay in the ICU for about a day. Your blood pressure and other vitals will be monitored closely. You may be given medication for pain or other symptoms.
3-5 hours or more
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The surgery is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 4-6 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications arise.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
When you get home, you may have to adjust your activity level while you recover. This may take 3-6 weeks. Home care may include:
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications such as:
Call for emergency medical services right away if any of the following occurs:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Topic: Sasha on Digweed - new Mixmag interview
New Mixmag Interview.
It seems that the chances of Sasha and Digweed playing together again are slim.
Sasha it seems was up for a reunion but Digweed turned it down.
I am sure Digweed has his reasons but I do wish they could brush it under the carpet and play together again. Together they bring the best out of each other and whilst individually they are both excellent I do find the prospect of back to back very exciting.
I felt Sasha was upset at Digweed's flat turn down.

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan (AP) – The Grand River in Grand Rapids, Mich., is expected to fall below flood stage today. And some of the people who were evacuated from their homes have been allowed to return.
But across the Midwest, other waterways remain above flood level.
Tens of thousands of white and yellow sandbags are stacked three feet high along the scenic riverfront of Peoria, Illinois. They're holding back floodwaters that have already surrounded the visitors' center and restaurants in the city's former train depot. The Illinois River finally crested in Peoria yesterday at more than 29 feet, breaking a record that goes back 70 years. Authorities say the flood will take an economic toll on the city, but so far, no lives have been lost.
In Missouri, levels of the Mississippi River are slowly dropping at places north of St. Louis, slowly rising to the south. A few smaller levees have been overtopped or breached. But the makeshift levees in Clarksville and Dutchtown are holding. There were no reports of any Missouri towns in imminent danger.
The Mississippi is expected to crest by tomorrow morning in the Cape Girardeau area, but it will remain well above flood stage at most Missouri towns into next month.

NBC has decided red is its color: The network is bringing its Red Nose Day fundraiser back for a second year.
NBC said Tuesday the two-hour program featuring stars, comedy and music will air next spring.
Donations will go to groups helping children living in poverty in the United States and elsewhere in the world. The recipients will be announced later.
Last year's Red Nose Day campaign raised more than $23 million, the network said, with the money distributed to a dozen charities. It was the first U.S. version of Britain's three-decade old "Red Nose Day" event that's raised more than $1 billion.
"The opportunity to raise money for the most immediate needs of those in poverty through a show that entertains, inspires and educates is truly a privilege. We were thrilled with the way Walgreens, Mars, the entertainment industry, media and America at large embraced Red Nose Day and we could not be more excited to bring it back," said Paul Telegdy, President, Alternative and Late Night Programing, NBC Entertainment in a statement.
NBC said its Red Nose Day sequel will air May 26.

The Tri-Valley Rockets started out as a basketball team with a bunch of little kids a few years ago. These kids with developmental disabilities practiced once a week and participated in the Special Olympics basketball tournament in Pleasanton. Most of these "kids" are now graduated from high school, but they're still together and start practice in January until the tournament in March. They now have three teams on three different levels and each of them won the Gold medal in their level. Last weekend the team participated in the two day basketball tournament held at Amador Valley High School, Pleasanton Middle School and Harvest Park Middle School. Congratulations to our own Tri-Valley Rockets.
This was the 11th year that the Amador Valley Athletic Boosters have hosted the Special Olympics events for Basketball, Track and Volleyball. The original purpose of participating in Special Olympics was to give our athletes the opportunity to "give back" to the community. Since then our athletes, student, parents as well as other community organizations have volunteered to provide this service to the Special Olympics athletes.
Basketball was just concluded with 65 teams participating from Monterey to Napa, and 420 volunteers from AVHS, FHS, NCL, BTC, LDS and other community groups. Greg Thome, one of our active boosters from prior years still coordinates and scheduled 60 referees this year, many from the CYO.
Opening Ceremonies was held each day with Kevin Johnson, Senior Director of the PUSD and Jamie Hintzke, President of the PUSD School board giving the welcoming addresses. The PUSD and AVHS support Special Olympics by providing the facilities for these events. Many of the volunteers return year after year, one of the lunch volunteers said it was her 6th year. Others volunteer saying that this is a great family activity and participate every year. Some high school volunteers have chosen Special Education and other special needs fields because of the volunteer experience.
The Boosters continue to support Special Olympics by hosting the games, providing volunteers and T-Shirts for the volunteers and running a Snack Bar for the Track Meet, donating the proceeds to Special Olympics.
The next event will be Track and Volleyball, hosted by the Boosters on Saturday, May 3rd, 2014.

Romo's engine revved to pitch for Mexico in Classic
By Cash Kruth / MLB.com
AVONDALE, Ariz. -- Sergio Romo is certainly an excitable guy, whether he's cracking jokes in the clubhouse or celebrating a San Francisco victory on the mound.
One thing well known about the Giants' reliever is his love for his Mexican heritage. Both Romo's father and mother were born in Mexico, the country for which he'll pitch in this year's World Baseball Classic.
"It's just a just a way to show legitimately how proud I am to have my Mexican heritage, and also to let [others] know that anything is possible," Romo said. "You can do big things in your life no matter size, stature, color of skin, anything."
Something not-so-well known about the 5-foot-10 reliever is he's also a big racing fan. So in that regard, Friday was another incredible opportunity for the two-time World Series champion reliever, as Romo served as grand marshall and was scheduled to ride in the pace car for the NASCAR Mexico Toyota Series race at Phoenix International Speedway.
"Caballeros, enciendan sus motores," said a laughing Romo, which means, "Gentleman, start your engines."
"That's pretty dope for me," Romo added. "I feel like a little kid about it."
World Series Baseball Classic Inc., sponsored a car in the race, which was driven by Abraham Calderon, and extended an invitation to Romo to be part of the event.
"Privileged and thankful for the invitation, just because this is something I've never done," Romo said. "To be able to represent my background, to be able to be that guy and be a kid in an atmosphere like that [will be great]."
Romo said he follows racing a little bit, going to a handful of races while in San Francisco's Minor League system -- though never getting as close to the action as Friday. He's also never been in a race car or dragster, with the most racing and driving he's done coming on sand dunes growing up.
When told that maybe he could have squeezed a bit more out of his celebrity to perhaps get into a car Friday, Romo maturely responded -- despite the kid in him.
"No, no, no," Romo said. "You don't want to get me over 200 mph in those cars. No, you don't want to give me no 1300-horsepower car."
Come to think of it, that's probably a good thing for the Giants and Team Mexico, which opens against Team Italy at Noon PT on March 7 at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick.
"It's just a way to let [my family] know I'm very thankful for the lifestyle they've given me, for the morals and traditions that I live by today," Romo said. "I'm just excited to put that jersey on, I really am."

[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
By Mike Marino
It was three days before Christmas last year when Isiah Thomas took over as president of the New York Knicks. The Knicks were 10-18 last season when he took the reigns, and since then the Knicks have gone 42-40.
In that span, the Knicks lost 11 players to trades, 4 to free agency, while they acquired 14 players and changed head coaches. A lot of action and changes, but when it all comes to rest and the clouds clear away, have the changes been for the better or for the worse?

Also looking for a Darkmoon Rabbit now. (I would only trade items I have more than one of for a rabbit though).

Galaxy preview match vs. 'Caps
The defending champions are coming off of a 1-0 defeat to Houston Dynamo in a rematch of the past two MLS Cup finals. Midfielder Landon Donovan failed to convert a first-half penalty kick and Dynamo winger Andrew Driver rifled in a goal in the 56th minute to avenge their heartbreak.
Head coach Bruce Arena brings a side loaded with talent, featuring the likes of Irish international striker Robbie Keane, American international defender Omar Gonzalez and striker Landon Donovan, and current MLS leading goalscorer Mike Magee.
In terms of injuries, Jack McBean is out with a fractured left-clavicle, while goalkeeper Carlo Cudicini, defender Todd Dunivant, and Keane are all listed as questionable.
This Saturday's match will be the seventh meeting between the two sides in MLS action. The 'Caps hold a 0W-5L-1D overall record and a 0W-1L-1D record at home against the Galaxy.
2012 MLS Cup playoffs: LA Galaxy 2-1 Whitecaps FC

Darren Mattocks scored early for the underdog 'Caps, netting a goal in just the third minute of play, but Magee equalized in the 69th minute and Donovan scored the winner with a converted penalty on 73 minutes.
The 'Caps also faced the Galaxy other in two friendly matches when Vancouver were a North American second division club. On November 7, 2007, the 'Caps drew 0-0 with LA at BC Place, while on May 13, 2008, Vancouver defeated the Galaxy 2-1 in Edmonton.
Whitecaps FC have an all-time record of 13W-21L-1D versus clubs from LA, including a 10W-9L overall record and a 3W-7L record versus the Los Angeles Aztecs while the 'Caps were in the old North American Soccer League (NASL).

Following the ACC clash, Cascadia rivals Portland Timbers come to BC Place on Saturday, May 18. Tickets are still available at ticketmaster.ca/whitecapsfc.


text: Hi, Use which ever cluster tools you are comfortable with now. Once you know how to use one and learnt the basics, then you can explore the others and determine which one you want to use on a longer term. Each one has its plus and minus. Scyld - commercial yes, but you can get low-cost/free versions. Support is still good on this list for Scyld and you should have no worries. This is often what we call the 2nd generation beowulf with a single-image system. Scyld achieve this with bproc. It is a easy to use and powerful cluster system if it meets your needs. OSCAR - I used to follow its development, but not anymore.. however MSC software's Linux is based on it. I believe IBM's cluster team works on OSCAR and contributes parts of it ROCKS - very nice rpm based cluster system. uses re-install as a basis of system management (to ensure consistent image across cluster nodes). Works with heterogenous hardware (INTEL and AMD, different sizes HDDs etc). Many vendors uses it today, including HPQ, Cray etc... SCE - SCE has its own install procedure. Its strongest point is its highly graphical tools for system monitoring and maintenance. There used to be a VRML module which allowed you to see your cluster in 3-D fashion. Today, SCE has annouced support for ROCKS also.. so we should see ROCKS with SCE software. Qualification: we use ROCKS for our clusters and clusters we deploy for our customers today as it suits our needs and our customer needs. Cheers!

Deputy Secretary General addresses NATO-Russia Council role-play at Moscow University
A large number of students gathered at the Moscow State Linguistic University (MSLU) for a NATO-Russia Council (NRC) role-play event organised by the university with the support of the NATO Information Office (NIO) in Russia. The model NRC attracted students from MSLU as well as from other Moscow universities to this year's event held on 17 April.
Participants – who have prepared for weeks to play the roles of respective ambassadors of the NRC states – had an opportunity to kick off the debate in an interactive session with Ambassador Alexander Vershbow, Deputy Secretary General of NATO. Ambassador Vershbow, speaking both in Russian and in English via VTC from Brussels, told the audience in Moscow that "partnership between NATO and Russia is a serious and important issue," with Allies and Russia striving since the Lisbon summit in 2010 to turn "our relations into a true strategic partnership".
Describing himself as "an optimist when it comes to prospects for the NRC", the Deputy Secretary General said, "with the right dose of political goodwill, good education, and enthusiasm – which you, as a young generation, have in abundance – we can use the NATO-Russia partnership to change Euro-Atlantic security architecture for the better". His address was followed by a lively question and answer session covering a variety of topics from missile defence and air policing to Afghanistan and persistent Cold War stereotypes.
The opening session entitled "Russia-NATO partnership in the framework of a fight against emerging security challenges and threats" also brought together a number of decision-makers, officials and diplomats who addressed the students. Speakers included the Ambassador of Norway to Russia H.E. Knut Hauge, the Deputy Rector of MSLU Yuri Sukharev, the Director of the MSLU Information Centre for International Security Alexander Bartosh and Dmitry Balakin from the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Representatives from the Ministry of Defence and State Duma, as well as the Heads of the NIO and NATO Military Liaison Mission Moscow also attended. These interventions provided role-play participants with useful background information and gave them a chance to hear official positions of NATO, Allied countries and Russia.

In December, Jane Dunnewold of Art Cloth Studios issued a challenge to 12 brave and adventurous art cloth makers. This was the brief, in Jane's words:
In December of 2007, I issued an invitation to surface designers through the Complex Cloth Internet list. Anyone who was interested in working on a dyed two yard length of silk habotai was to write to me and indicate interest. I put all the names in a hat, and drew out twelve participants' names. I wanted it to be a democratic event.
I spent a happy evening reading the wonderful blog The Art Cloth Challenge. Go and have a look – it's really worth it! And amazing to see what different cloth resulted from 12 people's vision of the same piece of cloth and to read their journals about how they altered it.

For an event that's sports focused, the majority of women catching our eye on the ESPY Awards red carpet were nonathletes. Of course, there were plenty of female champions who also wowed us with their hair and makeup, including gymnast Gabby Douglas and tennis star Maria Sharapova. But we also spotted Olivia Wilde, Gabrielle Union, and Selena Gomez among the attendees. See who had the winning beauty looks at the ESPYs last night.

Johnny Frank Evans Jr. pleaded no contest Thursday to manslaughter in the death of Mary Newman-Evans. The El Dorado News-Times reported Johnny Evans received a 10-year sentence for the plea, but it is to be served at the same time as the 76-year prison term he received in 2007 for multiple drug convictions.
Mary Newman-Evans was reported missing in October 1999. Her skeletal remains were found in 2001 in Strong.
The case remained cold until it was revisited by El Dorado police investigators in October. Johnny Evans was originally charged with first-degree murder but the charge was downgraded as part of this week's plea deal.

Clémence Poésy is currently one of the "It" girls of the Parisian fashion world. Her status continues to rise, as she is not only known as a woman of impeccable taste, but as a very talented actress as well. We know her on this side of the pond from her roles as Fleur Delacour in the Harry Potter franchise, as well as starring in 127 Hours with James Franco, and playing Chuck Bass' French girlfriend on Gossip Girl. And Mademoiselle Poésy is not slowing down, for soon she will make her debut on Broadway in Cyrano de Bergerac. She does it all keeping her personal style well intact: tweeds, tights and trés lady-like silhouettes are her preferred fashion picks. Want to find out more about the practically perfect Parisian beauty? Read on…
The Style of Clemence Poesy
Chain Strap Bags
Giving her classic style a bit of edge, Clémence loves her chain-strap bags almost as much as her tweed (see below). The beauty of a great chain-strap is that it offers versatility – you can carry it on your shoulder or crossbody, it goes with everything from jeans and a t-shirt or an evening frock and can stand in for a little extra bling if you're not inspired to accessorize your outfit with too much jewelry. But the thing we love most about the chain strap bag? It never goes out of style.

Very good sushi. Didn't try anything else, but will definitely go back.
Many of the diners choose Pho, a traditional Viet soup. I have Pho here often because it is as good as the best Pho anywhere including Viet Nam. It can be ordered with chicken, beef, pork or just the soup. It is a filling meal.
