Whether your application and storage are required on the same system or you are looking for a configurable file server, a storage server is the perfect solution. Storage servers run a standard operating system such as Linux, Windows, or Solaris, and are incredibly dense for their size. They offer an open architecture that easily accepts add-in PCI cards, and are only limited by what their installed operating system will support. These systems are ideal for system administrators who want a cost-effective solution and the flexibility to "roll their own" configuration.
Pogo storage servers provide a choice between 3Ware or LSI RAID controllers. With each controller, drivers and GUI/CLI management tools are top-notch, as is the performance in either SATA and SAS storage arrays.
SATA drives provide high storage density combined with good sequential I/O performance. SAS drives achieve the highest performance for database and other heavy I/O applications, with storage densities smaller than SATA.
Whether your environment requires Linux, Windows, or Solaris, Pogo Storage Servers have the right drivers and support for a smooth deployment. Talk to our storage experts to find the best configuation for your environment.
When speed is most important, choose between the high sequential I/O performance of 7200 RPM hard drives from either Seagate or Western Digital.
Call 888 828 7646 or email firstname.lastname@example.com and talk to an expert about Storage.

Boulder rolls into Utah home, crushing woman
ST. GEORGE, Utah (WHDH) -- A Utah woman's dream turned into a nightmare when she's crushed by a boulder rolling into her house.
She and her family had moved to the picturesque mountain-side home for the beauty.
Instead, it turned into an emergency in just a matter of moments.
One second she was asleep the next, she was being rushed to the hospital crushed by a boulder.
"It was a boulder coming through the bedroom," said husband Scot Denhalter.
Quite a wake-up call at three in the morning, Wanda Denhalter was asleep when the unthinkable happened.
"Rolled down into our bedroom onto my wife's side of the bed, crushed the bed and hurt my wife. The neighbor down the street said he could hear her screaming," said Denhalter.
In shock and injured, somehow she managed to find her phone and call 911.
Her husband Scot was at their son's home nearby when police found him.
"The officer told me she had been in an accident - and she just bought a car, and that's what I thought had happened. An unfamiliar vehicle and that she'd had a smash up or something," said Denhalter.
But that wasn't the case.
"It took me awhile to kind of get my arms around it."
Wanda suffered a broken jaw, cracked sternum and a large gash - but she's lucky this wasn't worse.
"With her jaw wired shut, I'm probably not going to get the full story for a few weeks," said Denhalter.
Scot says when they bought their home beneath the ridge in St. George, Utah, he liked the shade it provided in the summer, but warned his wife about something like this happening.
"That ridge up there bothers me. You know, you could have a big boulder snap and come down and go right through the house and she said that would never happen," said Denhalter.
A case of "I told you so?"
"It's just going to be she needs to listen to the prophetic musings of her husband," said Denhalter.
Wanda Denhalter is expected to be okay.

AMD is apparently working on its second CPU for extreme overclocking, since the nearly four-year old Phenom II Black Edition TWKR 42. Being referred to as "Centurion FX," the chip is said to be based on the eight-core FX "Vishera" silicon, featuring an unlocked multiplier, but born out of some extremely careful chip selection by AMD. How careful you ask? For starters, these chips should be capable of running at 5.00 GHz with just air-cooling, with potential for more, on better cooling. If the TWKR 42 is anything to go by, Centurion FX should be made specifically for extreme overclockers looking for clock-speed and multi-core performance records, the chip should come with rather low clock speed, and unlocked multiplers, so overclockers could tweak it themselves. The chips should cost four times the average FX-8350, nearing $800, which is "affordable," considering the four-figure prices some of the golden Core i7 K-series Ivy Bridge chips command on online marketplaces. Source: Hexus.net
It's more like AMD $800 chip being better than Intel $3000 golden i5-3570K. If you don't see the value in this chip, then it's probably not intended for you in the first place.
I just would like AMD to improve there single thread performance more. FX-8350 is already a 4.0 ghz chip stock. I harken back to the days when a 2.0ghz AMD 64 beat the pants of a P4 3.6ghz. Le Sigh.
Either people are trolling or are blatantly missing the damn point. These are highly rare binned chips that are going to be sold purely for overclocking enthusiasts wanting to break records. Doubtful they are intended for desktop use, unless someone has too much money and really wants an AMD chip.
Ahhhh so your saying instead of playing Buy-A -Chip lotto, AMD is saying these are the better chips and in turn selling them at a premium. My mistake.
This is the wrong economic climate for this. These chips better be in plentiful number, and actually be sold to the public this time. The first was not, and was a pure marketing move. It didn't get them sales back then, it is definitely NOT going to now. Who the fuck comes up with this stuff?
This wil never cost $800, not in a million years. Maybe will cost $100 more than the 8350 but that is all. If it Steamroller based, that is a different story all together.
When I first heard the "Centurion FX" rumor, I was sincerely hoping it would be one of their sever processors rebranded, specifically one of their chips that offers more than 8-cores. Sort of was hoping it'd be one of their 16-core models. Now we'll end up with some lackluster gaming benchmarks when the chip is finally released, but, you know, they'll probably break a clock-rate record. Not that that means much when it doesn't linearly correlate to performance. Maybe AMD saw the burst of recent 'enthusiast grade parts' (Titan, 7970X2/7990, ARESII, 690 come to mind) and they're hoping some consumers will pay that price premium for such a processor. I really want AMD to succeed and to my mind they've long represented the "value" option. I'd really like to see them gain some footing against Intel, but it's really hard to say what will get them there.
Lame, I know they have steamroller chips taped out. Start giving us some. (of course, if it is really fast, then that thing won't see the light of day until mass production is possible)
Reading some of the comments here made me think that this place has nothing to do with computers at all. The chip is only intended for overclocking and nothing else, following some of the comments I would say PD/BD >>> IB/SB when it comes to overclocking.
The Stilt is saying this wont come out, and that this is a hoax: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums.....-Centurion&p=5182662&viewfull=1#post5182662 But maybe it is something else, just not 5ghz?
Youd have it wrong then since amd hold the highest oc on a commercial chip title, intel are climbing though and these chips won't be widely available, and being essentially a garaunteed ocin beast itll only be for competitive ocin contests/contest anyway makeing it useless to me bring the steam knobeds(amd) not this.
The original TWKR chips were high-leakage-based parts, that wouldn't really be useful in normal systems, and were a marketing stunt just before the launch of the ?C3? and 965 BE CPU revision. So yeah, this doesn't make much sense. Except that I know that Bulldozer (and derivatives) were designed with 5 GHz in mind.
I'm sure it'll break many records on extreme cooling, but FX series can already overclock to near 5GHz on air cooling so whats so special about these chips? You mean when the AMD Sempron beat out the P4. Why would it? It's just a special edition chip with better OC tolerance.
Unfortunately it's true. I'm big AMD supporter (based on idea of supporting the underdog to keep the market competitive), but the grim truth is that for gaming, the awesomesauce TWKR will probably be still worse than two-and-half-years-old 2600K.
Obviously no proof of that but I know what you mean I truly believe Steamroller will be AMD's game changer that should be enough to at the very least compete with Intel's current offerings Price for Price . In other words, no more hot AMD FX CPU deals. I can see AMD's high end FX-8550 (Steamroller ) at least double the price of the FX-8350 at launch. Yes IMO
Considering the 2600K and FX-8350 trade blows 50/50 this comment makes no sense to me. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/amd_fx_8350_processor_review,1.html

Maybe if it sailed to China . . . we don't do local business and neither do most business people in the region. Global economy, dumbazz.
Let's see. Kingston Soundrunner. Losing over $1 million a year. Bremerton "Research Vessel", cost $5.3 mil and $1 million a year in losses.
Skype? Ummm, FREE.
Get it yet???
All POF's do is cart the cat ladies to their cubicles. That's not like Port of Bremerton and their boat yards or Bangor or PSNS.
Global fricking economy. Don't need to commute ANYWHERE. Unless you are a cubicle cat lady for an azz backward company that wants you physically in your cubicle each day so they can CONTROLL you.

When it rains, it pours!
31 August 2007
Welcome to another week of elephants diaries. This week has certainly been a wet one, and if you hadn't heard on the news, the Sunshine Coast had heavy downfalls all week, even parts of the coast such as Noosa were flooded with more than 700mm in just one day!Well it wasn't as bad as that here at the Zoo, but we certainly got our share of continuous heavy rain. For most of us it couldn't have come at a better time. All the dams out the back are full and our grounds have soaked up loads of water ready for new growth, just in time for spring. The elephants too love the change in weather. It seems they hadn't seen the rain in so long that when it came they couldn't get enough. They took full advantage of the mud that the rain had created everywhere around the enclosure. So it was pointless for us to even try to wash them down like we would normally, for the very next minute they would be covered in a thick layer of mud.
The rain certainly made the elephants excited and in very high spirits. Even our guests that braved the weather conditions got to see the elephants at their most playful; in the pool!!! You see even though its raining, the elephants love to go swimming as the water in the pool is slightly warmer than the outside temperature. When swim time ended the elephants were straight back to rolling around and having a ball in the mud. Although it wasn't as fun for us keepers who were saturated from the minute we started work, it was definitely worth working to see what fun all that rain could offer!!!!!
Until next time, wet Elephants Rule!

An IAB is for people who need less than 4097 unique 48-bit numbers (EUI-48) and thus find it hard to justify buying their own OUI. It is a particular OUI concatenated with 12 additional IEEE-provided bits, leaving only 12 bits for the owners to assign to their (up to 4096) individual devices.
Unlike an OUI, which allows the assignee to assign values in various different number spaces (for example, EUI-48, EUI-64, and the various CDI number spaces), the IAB can only be used to assign EUI-48 identifiers.
The Individual Address Block (IAB) can be used in conjunction with a number of standards. It does not limit your right to use your assignment for multiple purposes.
Registration Fees
Products | Fees | Total Due |
Publicly Registered IAB (company name & address on the public listing) | US $645 | US $645 |
Privately Registered IAB
(company name and address NOT on the public listing) | US $645 + $1,130
(privacy fee addition) | US $1,775 |
Yearly Confidentiality Renewal Fee*
(for privately registered assignments only) | US $1,130 | US $1,130 |
Application Information
Please search the public listing to determine whether your Organization has already been issued an IAB assignment. If so, you may email us to obtain contact information for the assignment. If a new assignment is required, a Usage Percentage Letter must be submitted.
- Complete and electronically submit the IAB application. Do not submit more than one application unless you are requesting more than one assignment. Applications expire after 30 days.
- A tracking number and any questions regarding your application will be sent via email to the REQUESTOR.
- Be advised that the credit card will be charged once the application is submitted. Assignment details and a Paid Invoice are sent to the REQUESTOR.
- The public IAB listing is updated once every 24 hours, due to this new assignments will not be immediately available in the directory.
Related Standards
The OUI defined in ANSI/IEEE Std 802®-2001 can be used to generate 48-bit Universal LAN MAC addresses to uniquely identify LAN and MAN stations, and Protocol Identifiers to identify public and private protocols. These are used in Local and Metropolitan Area Network applications. The relevant standards include:
- Token Bus (IEEE 802.4™, ISO 8802-4)
- Token Ring (IEEE 802.5™, ISO/IEC 8802-5)
The 'company_id' relevant standards include as defined in IEEE Std 1212™-1991 Control and Status Register (CSR) Architecture referenced by IEEE Std 896.2™-1991 Futurebus+Physical Layers and Profiles:
- IEEE Std 1596™-1992 Scalable Coherent Interface
- IEEE Std 1394™-1995 Serial Bus document. In this context, the 24-bit company_id value is a portion of the 32-bit Module_Vendor_Id ROM location (and related locations) and uniquely identifies hardware vendors and I/O software interface architectures.
- ANSI X3.230-1994 Fibre Channel Standard
The IEEE Registration Authority will assign an additional IAB to any organization requesting one, providing they submit a letter on company letterhead to the IEEE Standards Department, stating that their company will not ";ship" product in the new block assignment until well after they have reached (shipped) at least 95% of the block assignment, in the context of a specified standard. Your company should ensure that large numbers of derived identifiers are not left unused.

Could you please provide some clarification as to the name of the F-16? I've always know it to be Fighting Falcon. It is referred to as such elsewhere on your website. Where did the name Viper come from? Thanks.

Remarkable story. And I bet, like me, you guys want to see this unofficial first flight.
Posted by P.H on January 11,2013 | 10:33 PM
According to all the stories I've read, the F-16 picked up the name "Viper" either from its resemblance to a snake (the arched canopy/nose profile and the sculpted fuselage) or from its resemblance to the Viper fighters in Battlestar Galactica. (popular at the time of the F-16s introduction) I've also heard that the pilots who fly the plane will be offended if it's referred to as "Fighting Falcon" in their presence.
Posted by Cal Hadley-Thomas on January 15,2013 | 02:23 PM
The plane was also called the "Electric Jet" thanks to its fly-by-wire technology.

I was stationed at McDill AFB when we received the first F-16 and remember clearly that it was called "Fighting Falcon."

Talk to anybody that has flown it in the past 20 years and they will call it the Viper. USAF F-16 pilots refer to it as the viper and to themselves as viper drivers.

I was with the 61st FIS at the end of Korea and was told several years ago that the 61st was training pilots at Luke.
Are they the organization responsible for this training program?
thank you.

Welcome to the Friday edition of "5 Things to Know for Your New Day."
Every weekday morning around 6, we'll hit the top five stories of the day and clue you in on a few other buzzy items.
A Taliban tit-for-tat:
Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is the only American prisoner of war in Afghanistan - and the U.S. wants him home. But there's a catch. The Taliban want five Guantanamo Bay detainees in return. The question is, do we negotiate with terrorists -- even if it's to bring one of our own home?
"We should never stop trying to get him back, but I don't think anybody wants to see their country sold down the river in a sense just to bring them back."
That's James Carafano with the conservative Heritage Foundation. But not everyone shares his view, certainly not Bowe's parents who've been waiting four long years for him.
If you build it, they will come:
By 'it,' we mean a 700-mile long border fence along the Mexican border. And by 'them,' we mean the Republicans.
The Dems think the concession will get them enough votes in the Senate to push through immigration reform. Because it's going to be a VERY tough sell in the House.
It's the end of the world as we know it:
These business stories can get complicated. So here's a simple rhyme summarizing what happened the last two days.
Bernanke spoke
Markets spooked
Investors frowned
Dow went down down down
It dropped a whopping 353 points yesterday - the worst single day this year. No sector was immune to the selling: banks battered, manufacturers mauled, home builders hosed.
It was a Heat repeat last night. They beat the Spurs 95 to 88 to keep the NBA title in Miami. King James (and his headband crown) led the way with 37 points.
Six women; Zimmerman:
The fate of George Zimmerman rests on the hands of women: five of them white, and one who's black or Hispanic. The much anticipated trial starts Monday.

2011, 2012, 2013 Suburban???
Does anyone know what the 2011+ years Suburban will look like? I've read some posts about the Escalade going to Lambda (which is a smaller version and looks like the Cadillac SRX) ... what about the Suburban? Will it do the same thing as cadillac or will it have its own look? Has anyone heard anything about it?

Automotive News this week reports that the new generation of SUVs will be built on truck chassis not the crossover chassis.

02-23-2010, 09:30 PM #5I had read that the Tahoe was going to be converted to a crossover...but the Suburban would remain on the truck chassis.
There are too many governmental agencies who use them for different purposes to abandon the platform.
When you look at the numbers sold annually it is not enough to negitively impact CAFE standards.
I do believe we will see the baby Duramax come back too. Several foriegn makers are pushing clean diesel, (especially the Germans) to ignore it. Diesel will be the wave of the future as foriegn fuel supplies dwindle, we will be forced to get more MPG. Diesel will provide that mileage improvement until the next powertrain technology arrives.Last edited by justcuz; 02-23-2010 at 09:31 PM. Reason: spelling errors

02-28-2011, 02:35 PM #8Funny, I thought I had read an earlier article about them possibly killing off the line because of R&D costs.
My questions is. Is it that hard to re-create a Suburban platform after you've created the Silverado truck?
In my opinion, the GMT900 is still fairly fresh, especially when you compare how long ght GMT400 ran, and the previous generation before that.
Just refine the interior, add more options (cough, 4.5 Duramax, cough) and call it good.

After spending 33 years saving lives in the firefighting service, Firehouse Sports Grill proprietor Joe Wise collected beloved recipes from stations throughout the country to regale diners with firefighter feasts of burgers and sandwiches, pizzas, and pastas. A bar area decked out in polished aluminum tread plate evokes the raw power of a speeding fire engine, and crimson walls laden with ancient fire axes and keepsake pictures of old emergency crews hark back to a simpler time before fire poles were replaced with teleportation devices. Multiple flat-screen TVs broadcast sporting events as guests sip frosty drafts and potent cocktails and chow down on hand-cut fries, tangy salads, and tender barbecue ribs.
Brothers John and Paul Browning, along with their father Robert, are the three fishermen behind their titular seafood eatery. After the success of their first location in Fort Myers, the trio opened another restaurant on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in North Fort Myers, where they continue to serve up a medley of freshly caught fish, shrimp, oysters, and crab. At each laid-back eatery, they strive to make diners feel at home, broiling, steaming, or frying meals to individuals' specifications as they regale them with pictures of their childhood pet goldfish.
Christened with a four-star write-up from noted restaurant critic Jean Le Boeuf, Agora's hearty Mediterranean and Greek cuisine charms customers' palates with rustic, enticing flavors in an effervescent waterfront atmosphere. Amidst murals depicting legendary locales from Greek and Roman history, including the Acropolis, the Colosseum, and the Department of Horse Drawn Vehicles, feasters warm up with appetizers such as spanakopita, phyllo dough snuggling fresh sautéed spinach with feta cheese and herbs ($7.99). Gentlemen and ladies who lunch may munch on a gyro sandwich filled with hand-carved meat ($7.99) or the horiatiki salad, a traditional Greek concoction of tomatoes, olives, and pepperoncinis ($10.99).
Accessible by boat or car, Al's Tiki Bar and Grill immerses guests in an island-tinged culinary experience marked by waterfront views, fresh grilled fare, and live music peppered throughout the week. Using Pavlov's theory of appetizers, chefs cause taste buds to salivate with house-cut, beer-battered onion rings ($4.95) or Al's Beach bread, piled with herbs, melted blue cheese, and tomato on a toasted baguette. For entrees, diners can savor the marinade from the jamaican jerk chicken ($10.95) or juggle between the surf 'n' turf's new york strip steak, 1 pound of snow-crab legs, vegetables, and jasmine-rice pilaf ($24.95). The kitchen also silences stomach grumbles with sandwiches, burgers, and kebabs, such as the bamboo-skewered hawaiian pork-tenderloin kebab with bell peppers ($10.95). In between bites, guests can tune their ear trumpets to live jams during weekly performances.
Tovos Grill draws its name from an acronym of the five joint owners, infusing the restaurant's American comfort food, sizzling grill fare, New York–style deli sandwiches, and pizza with quintuple bonds of friendship. Chefs load the dinner menu with carnivorous delights, including certified Angus cuts of prime rib ($17.99/14 oz., $15.99/10 oz.), slow-roasted and seared to successfully romance taste buds. Traditional homestyle dishes, such as meat loaf ladled with mushroom gravy ($11.99), settle comfortably into bellies and promptly hand up a framed cross-stitch. From the lunch menu, toweringly stacked deli meats straddle bridges of bread, as in the Times Square Triple Decker, which marries turkey to a classic BLT ($7.79). Pizzas roast in a wood-fired oven, including the Grande Pollo ($11.99/10", $14.99/14"), loaded with chicken, arugula, feta, onion, and olive toppings laid out in championship-winning chinese-checkers patterns.
J.C. Cruises welcomes fete-ready sailors aboard a 600-person paddlewheeler for a three-hour cruise of the Caloosahatchee River enlivened by music, dancing, and a cash bar. Two climate-controlled enclosed decks encourage partygoers to mingle without fear of being caught in sudden anvil showers, and an open deck facilitates manatee spotting and cigarette breaks. Sips and snacks from a cash bar (not included with this Groupon) fuel the night of wave-top revelry as guests embrace the holiday spirit by hobnobbing with new friends or bear-hugging the Ghost of Christmas Past.
Chef Dan Virola of Twisted Vine Bistro combines proteins from the air, earth, and water with fire to create delectable dishes that are complemented by an extensive list of domestic and international wines. The spiced rack of lamb with herb-roasted fingerling potatoes and a wild mushroom ragout over cranberry chutney tempts forks to twirl with delight ($35), as lost wild salmon find themselves in a hoisin brown-sugar glaze with wasabi-whipped potatoes and a pineapple-lemongrass butter froth ($25). Stuffed breasts of chicken distract diners with dollops of sage and chicken mousseline, glazed carrots, garlic whipped potatoes, mushroom jus, and repartee ($18). An asparagus-cream soup with crispy, ground chorizo floods palates by the spoonful ($5) and a watermelon salad featuring mixed greens with strawberry-maple vinaigrette, local watermelon, and goat cheese perks up taste buds and bored salad forks alike ($8). An extensive list of domestic and international wines ($6+/glass, $18+/bottle) offers more enjoyable sips than a candle full of melted wax.

We are showing you the UK version of our site: would you prefer a different location?
CXLA Weekend
A last minute venue change and Los Angeles's downtown Historic Park became the site of Dorothy Wong's LACX race. The best way to describe Wong's effect on the racing scene would be to use what would become the weekend's announcer CoolAssMike's catch phrase when introducing the podium "We will now enter the mind of Dorthy Wong." There was a great start to the weekend with number pickup at LA's newest bike shop Golden Saddle Cyclery. Situated right in the heart of cool, next to Dangerbird Records and The Pablove Foundation and down the street from Intelligentsia's first LA location in Silverlake. That is a lot of cool situated in about two city blocks. The guys from Golden Saddle were on hand to offer fans and racers a brief intro of what was to come over the weekend — drinking, non-stop heckling and a mashing of the new and old styles of racing — after all we did have both Zach McDonald and Tim Johnson on the course at the same time later in the weekend.
DAY ONE: Julie 3rd, Chris 3rd, Zach 8th
DAY TWO: Julie 4th, Chris 3rd, Zach 9th
To say that this course suited Meredith Miller (CalGiantBerry-Specialized) is a bit of an understatement. Meredith Miller ruled this course. Slight twists and dusty corners led to long stretches of road that would allow Miller to dig deep into her (former National Road Champion) legs and unleash the hurt on the rest of the field. Meredith timed her attacks on day one to come late in a race which Julie led from early on. Taking the holeshot was Cannondale-Cyclocrossworld.com's Nicole Duke, but it was not to be for Duke who flatted on the second lap, chased back into 5th and then flatted again late in the race.
Krasniak's plan was simple enough, to try and make Miller work from early on in the hopes that the twists and turns in the course would be enough for her to escape the wrath of Miller's late attacks that were her downfall last weekend in Iowa. However, when the former National Champion Road Racer took over there was no looking back. Portland's Sue Butler however was ready and locked herself to Miller's rear wheel and held on for the second spot.
Dorothy Wong not only organized the race on the weekend but also pulled together a number of different cycling events to happen over Saturday and Sunday. There was a Women's ride to benefit the LA County Bicycle Coalition, a night ride/pub crawl as well as a few other rides. If you have no idea how this lady keeps up with all the great events and rides that she puts together just try to keep an eye on her the next time you are at one of her races. Not only will she be announcing the podiums and wrangling the mariachi bands, but she also raced in a few different races including the Single-Speed race and one with the Elite Women. Definitely one of the best race organizers and promoters in the country.
The Men's racing on the weekend was something else to behold. If you were there to witness the speed/power combination of Meredith Miller hopefully you stayed for the blind fury that would be Chris Jones, Ben Berden and the newly christened Tim "The General" Johnson. CoolAssMike was on the Mic at the races and handed out a few new nicknames as well. Check out his YouTube page for a few videos on the weekend.
All signs point to yes that indeed Tim Johnson is back and ready for action with his win at the Saturday LACX. Chris Jones had made it one of his personal weekend goals to "keep Timmy winless" but like Miller in the Women's race, Johnson could not be shaken from his tail. The one chance that he had was disrupted when race leader Chris Sheppard bobbled in a corner causing Jones to bunch it up and slam on his brakes just as he began his attack. Besides this one brief window of opportunity Johnson was stuck to this group like one of Stu Thorne's tubular glue jobs on a cross wheel with disc brakes. He would then outmaneuver the group and shake them before the final turns of the race.
The surprise on the weekend would come from Ben Berden (Ops Ale - Stoemper Bikes) who caught the Men's field taking a quick nap in the middle of lap four and attacked to such a degree as to never be seen again. He smoothly powered his way through the remaining laps to put almost a minute into the field that counted their losses and then started licking their chops for the second spot on the podium. But before Berden could don his sombrero on the podium there would be a sprint to the line between Chris Jones and Tim Johnson that could possibly reignite and redefine the entire Cross Clash altogether for this coming weekend in Bend, Oregon. Considering how the challenge has never really come to bear fruit between the former Cannondale teammates of Johnson and Jeremy Powers it may be time to start anew. After all Cyclocross Worlds selections are on the very near horizon…
But in all seriousness, congratulations to Dorothy Wong and Co for putting together a great weekend of racing in sunny Los Angeles. The scene down there is one of the best in the country and continues to be an amazing city to visit for its food, friends and definitely for its Cyclocross racing.

Policy Date: 10/30/2012 Policy Number: LB-12-02
Related APHA PoliciesAPHA Policy Statement LB-11-03 – Reducing Unintentional Prescription Drug OverdosesAbstract Opioid overdose deaths represent a public health crisis requiring innovative, evidence-based responses. Community-based overdose education and naloxone distribution programs demonstrate promising approaches with the potential to be scaled up and adapted to a range of settings and populations at risk for overdose from prescription opioid analgesics and heroin. This policy statement calls on federal agencies, elected officials, local and state health departments, and health care professionals to support public education and training, development and dissemination of best practices, and broader implementation of these promising interventions as a core element of a comprehensive approach to opioid overdose.Problem Statement The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) characterizes prescription drug overdoses as an epidemic.[1] Drug poisoning deaths have become a leading cause of injury death in the United States. Between 1980 and 2008, the annual number of drug poisoning deaths increased from about 6,100 to 36,500. A substantial proportion of this increase is attributable to the dramatic rise in unintentional overdoses involving prescription opioid analgesics (including hydrocodone, oxycodone, and methadone). In 2008, 40% of all drug poisoning deaths involved opioid analgesics, and the number of overdose deaths involving opioid analgesics has more than tripled since 1999 (accounting for 14,800 deaths in 2008). Opioid overdose mortality is not limited to prescription analgesics; heroin was involved in 3,000 overdose deaths in 2008.[2]A growing body of research demonstrates a strong association between the increase in opioid overdose mortality and the rise over the past two decades in the use and misuse of prescription opioid analgesics.[3] Since 1999, the rate of unintentional drug poisoning deaths has increased among all racial/ethnic groups, with the highest rates observed in non-Hispanic Whites and American Indians/Alaska Natives. Rates of unintentional drug poisoning deaths, particularly deaths involving prescription opioid analgesics, have risen faster in rural areas than in urban settings.[4] Available data suggest that overdose mortality risk is associated with lower socioeconomic status; a study from the state of Washington showed that Medicaid enrollees had a 5.7 greater risk of overdose death than nonenrollees.[5] Higher rates of overdose deaths have also been associated with mental illness as well as polydrug use and other indicators of substance use disorders, including among patients seen in Veterans Health Administration facilities.[6–8]Prevention of increased poisoning death rates is a Healthy People 2020 objective.[9] In its 2011 Prescription Drug Abuse Prevention Plan, the Office of National Drug Control Policy notes that "[p]rescription drug misuse and abuse is a major public health and public safety crisis."[10] The growing severity of the opioid overdose epidemic warrants urgent attention as a public health crisis requiring a comprehensive, multipronged strategy. Proposed Recommendations Statement A growing body of evidence and experience supports innovative community-level approaches to preventing opioid overdose deaths in the broader context of efforts to reduce the risk of overdose through primary prevention of opioid misuse (see alternative strategies below). These community-level strategies draw upon the lessons learned and insights gained from harm reduction programs, including needle exchange programs, with respect to engaging individuals at risk of opioid overdose and their peers as active agents in overdose prevention by providing education and training in responding effectively to opioid overdose. Numerous pilot programs and evaluations have demonstrated the feasibility and viability of providing education and training on overdose risk factors, signs, and symptoms; appropriate responses to an overdose; and emergency administration of an opioid antidote to revive individuals experiencing an overdose. Lessons and best practices from these pilot community programs have broad relevance and likely beneficial applications to the current—and growing—opioid overdose epidemic.A 2012 survey published in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) demonstrated the potential impact of these community-level approaches by assessing 188 opioid overdose prevention programs operating in 15 states and the District of Columbia. The survey documented that an estimated 53,032 people had received training in overdose prevention, including administration of an opioid overdose antidote, through these programs. The programs received more than 10,000 reports of successful overdose reversals through administration of the antidote by individuals who had received training. The opioid overdose antidote distributed through these programs and administered by laypeople was naloxone; this opioid antagonist, approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), reverses the effects of an opioid overdose and rapidly restores breathing to a normal rate. Naloxone has no potential for abuse and causes no adverse effects in a person who has not taken opioids.[11]Multiple studies have shown that programs that educate laypeople/bystanders on how to recognize the signs and symptoms of overdose and train individuals on how to intervene by using rescue breathing, administering naloxone, and calling emergency personnel result in opioid overdose reversals and save lives.[12–15] A 2008 study concluded that, after basic training, laypeople did just as well as medical professionals in recognizing the symptoms of an overdose and determining when to use the medication.[16] In 2009, the American Journal of Public Health (AJPH) published a study showing that "overdose prevention programs that include the distribution of intranasal naloxone by non-medical personnel are feasible for city public health departments."[17] Similarly promising results have been reported from evaluations of projects that adapt community-based opioid overdose prevention strategies to clinical settings, including substance abuse treatment and pain management programs. A Massachusetts study demonstrated the effectiveness of an overdose education and naloxone distribution intervention among individuals primarily recruited from inpatient detoxification units and methadone maintenance treatment programs.[18] Operation OpioidSAFE (Womack Army Medical Center, Fort Bragg, NC) and Project Lazarus (Wilkes County, NC) both work to educate patients and prescribers about recognizing and minimizing the risks associated with prescription opioid analgesics. These efforts include the distribution of naloxone kits and education of caregivers/family members of individuals who take opioids so that they can recognize the signs and symptoms of overdose and intervene should they witness a loved one experiencing an overdose. Between 2009 and 2011, overdose deaths in Wilkes County decreased 69%, while overall prescriptions for opioids generally held steady. Project Lazarus reports that in 2011 "not a single Wilkes County resident died from a prescription opioid from a prescriber within the county, down from 82% in 2008."[19,20] Despite this established and rapidly growing body of evidence in support of the value of expanding access to and use of naloxone among pain patients and individuals who misuse or abuse opioids, naloxone is currently available to laypeople in only 15 states and the District of Columbia through facilities such as drug treatment programs, community-based organizations, parents' groups, and medical clinics. Notably, community-based overdose education and naloxone distribution programs do not yet exist in many of the states that have the highest rates of opioid use and overdose deaths.[11] The rising overdose mortality rates provide stark testimony to the urgent need to scale up promising approaches to reach individuals at risk of overdose through illicit heroin use and/or nonmedical use of prescription opioids, as well as patients prescribed high doses of opioids (e.g., ≥100 mg morphine equivalent dose per day) or receiving opioids from multiple prescribers. According to the FDA, the total number of prescriptions dispensed for all major opioid formulations from US outpatient retail pharmacies in 2009 was 257,706,624.[21] When applied to 2009 US Census Bureau data, this represents an average of 0.84 opioid prescriptions per person in the United States, or 2.27 opioid prescriptions per US household. A CDC editorial note accompanying the above-mentioned MMWR survey of 188 community-based overdose prevention programs noted that:"The findings in this report suggest that distribution of naloxone and training in its administration might have prevented numerous deaths from opioid overdoses. Syringe exchange and harm reduction programs for injection drug users were early adopters of opioid overdose prevention interventions, including providing naloxone. More noninjection opioid users might be reached by opioid overdose prevention training and (where feasible) provision of naloxone in jails and prisons, substance abuse treatment programs, parent support groups, and physician offices…. Reaching users of prescription opioid analgesics is important because a large proportion of drug overdose deaths have been associated with these drugs…. To address the substantial increases in opioid-related drug overdose deaths, public health agencies could consider comprehensive measures that include teaching laypersons how to respond to overdoses and administer naloxone to those in need."[11]Opposing Arguments/Evidence A 2009 review published in AJPH considered a series of potential objections to the scale-up of overdose education and naloxone distribution programs and evaluated the evidence supporting these concerns.[22] The potential objections fell within 2 categories: (1) doubts regarding the effectiveness, both pharmacologically and practically, of layperson-administered naloxone and (2) fears that overdose education and naloxone distribution programs would result in increased opioid use.The review authors evaluated the first potential objection, finding that a preponderance of evidence weighed against it. The concern about pharmacological efficacy relates to the relatively short half-life of naloxone, leading to fear that once administered its opioid antagonist effects may wear off while recipients still have opioids in their system, thus potentially resulting in a recurrence of overdose. The authors cited data on the experience of both community-based overdose prevention programs and medical settings supporting the effectiveness of a single dose of naloxone, noting that many community-based programs provide trained laypeople with 2 doses in the event that a single dose is ineffective. They also considered the possibility that these programs may inadvertently discourage other appropriate responses, including calling 911 for the assistance of trained paramedics. However, the authors found that structural barriers, including fears of law enforcement involvement in responding to 911 calls for assistance at the scene of an overdose, result in delays and low rates of use of emergency services, particularly among peers of opioid misusers most likely to witness an overdose. The authors concluded that "[i]n all cases of opioid overdose, it makes intuitive sense to reduce the time it takes to administer naloxone by getting it into the hands of those best positioned to respond rapidly…. The logic and support for placing time-critical medications in the hands of nonmedical persons is not new. Epinephrine injections are made available as a life-saving measure for people at risk for suffering anaphylaxis, and glucagon injections are provided to diabetes patients in case of severe insulin reactions."[22]The review also addressed the potential objection that "naloxone availability may encourage more frequent or higher-volume drug use by acting as a safety net." The authors judged this outcome to be highly unlikely and unsupported by available evidence, noting that "studies suggest that increasing health awareness through training programs that accompany naloxone distribution actually reduces the use of opioids and increases users' desire to seek addiction treatment."[22] Extensive discussion at an FDA workshop on expanding access to naloxone overwhelmingly supported this conclusion.[23] As noted in the FDA's postmeeting summary:"Speakers commented on the concern that increasing the overall availability of naloxone might lead to increased drug use by giving a false sense of security, and suggested this was not a likely concern. An overview of research related to attitudes and behaviors related to [sexually transmitted diseases,] and in particular to [human papillomavirus] vaccination (Gardasil), presented at the meeting reported no association with an increase in unprotected sex among sexually active women. Similarly, no evidence for greater risk-taking has been seen in the area of protective equipment to prevent childhood injuries (such as bike helmets). One speaker said that such interventions do not necessarily lead to more risky behaviors. Instead, the results are dependent on the prevention strategy, the target of the strategy, individual characteristics and the larger social context."[24]In summary, the AJPH review evaluated and ultimately provided compelling and persuasive counterarguments to potential objections to expanding overdose prevention and naloxone distribution programs, finding strong support for increasing these initiatives through both community programs and physician prescription in the context of broader "appropriate illicit opioid supply and demand reduction measures." The authors concluded: "Naloxone is an eminently safe and nonabusable substance that has 1 pharmacological function: to reverse the effects of opioids on the brain and respiratory system in order to prevent the ultimate adverse event, death. Indeed, one can purchase dozens of more dangerous and abusable substances over the counter at a local drug store. Current medico-legal biases and regulations have nonetheless unduly restricted the availability of naloxone for those who need it most. It is understandable that regulators did not foresee the utility of naloxone as a public health intervention carried out by people who are not medical professionals. In the midst of our current epidemic of accidental deaths related to illicit and prescription opioids, however, these restrictions are untenable. The status quo must be challenged by a public health ethic that seeks to 'advocate and work for the empowerment of disenfranchised community members, aiming to ensure that the basic resources and conditions necessary for health are accessible to all.'"[22]Alternative Strategies A range of alternative strategies to address the prescription opioid overdose epidemic have been proposed by various federal agencies, public health officials, and policymakers. These strategies include implementation of prescription drug monitoring programs, voluntary or mandated prescriber education, proper medication disposal, development of abuse-deterrent formulations of prescription opioid analgesics, substance abuse screening and access to treatment, and law enforcement efforts targeting prescription opioid misuse and diversion.[10,25,26]These alternative strategies offer a potential range of complementary approaches to overdose education and naloxone distribution programs, but they are not sufficient in and of themselves to address fully the urgencies of opioid overdose as a public health crisis. These strategies aim only secondarily to reduce opioid overdose as a byproduct of their primary goals of reducing the supply and preventing the misuse of prescription opioids. Although these goals reflect important components of a comprehensive, public health–based approach, they cannot fully substitute for the need for strategies that intervene at the point of overdose itself. Moreover, the evidence base for the effectiveness and impact of many of these strategies is incomplete and still evolving.[27]An additional limitation of these alternative strategies—with the exception of substance abuse treatment—is their focus on prescription opioid analgesics. As the prescription opioid epidemic evolves, increasing evidence indicates a concurrent rise in heroin use, potentially associated with the implementation of strategies to reduce availability, diversion, and misuse of prescription opioid analgesics.[28] Community-level overdose education and naloxone distribution programs have been piloted and field tested among heroin users, with ample evidence supporting their feasibility and acceptability in this population.Finally, community-level overdose education and naloxone distribution programs represent both a significant harm reduction innovation and a uniquely public health–grounded contribution to the overdose epidemic, bringing an important and otherwise absent perspective to bear on proposed solutions to the overdose epidemic.Action Steps Given the growing incidence of opioid fatalities, coupled with the serious, myriad adverse consequences associated with use, misuse, and abuse of opioids in the United States, the American Public Health Association should undertake a renewed effort to reduce and prevent the adverse public health consequences of opioid use, abuse, and misuse; increase awareness among the public and health professionals of the risks associated with opioid use and misuse; improve recognition of the signs and symptoms of overdose and educate the public and health professionals regarding what to do if someone experiences an overdose; improve access to treatment and recovery services; support public, private, and community-based efforts, including data collection and research, to understand and tackle the myriad factors contributing to the rise in opioid use, misuse, and abuse; and advance policies and programs that increase access to evidence-based interventions that reduce fatalities from opioid overdose.Therefore,• The federal government should undertake a coordinated national effort focused on the prevention of overdose fatalities, with a particular emphasis on education and awareness efforts targeting patients, health professionals, and the public that are centered on the effectiveness of naloxone as a potentially life-saving opioid antagonist. • Federal, state, and local elected officials and agency staff should ensure that efforts designed to reduce and prevent opioid misuse do not have a chilling effect on effective pain management for people in need and do not unintentionally create a situation in which individuals are driven to misuse other drugs instead of securing treatment and support for recovery from drug use.• All federal agencies involved in research, policies, regulation, and programs related to opioid misuse should coordinate efforts and develop and disseminate information to health professionals, individuals, families, and communities to increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of overdose, improve awareness of and facilitate access to naloxone as a life-saving intervention for opioid overdose, and support entry into treatment and recovery for those individuals seeking such services.• The US Department of Health and Human Services and its agencies (including the National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and Health Resources and Services Administration) and the Department of Veterans Affairs should provide funding for research, identification, and dissemination of best practices for reducing and preventing opioid misuse, abuse, and overdose.• Congress and the administration should increase and improve federal surveillance efforts and data collection regarding opioid use, misuse, and deaths to ensure that policies and programs are designed to target the actual causes of opioid misuse and death and to monitor the impact of any new efforts on access to pain management, the incidence and prevalence of opioid misuse, and overdose deaths from opioids.• Congress should support best practices by providing resources to federal agencies for technical assistance and toolkits to community programs and health professionals who wish to distribute naloxone.• Federal, state, and local elected officials and agency staff should support increased access to—and funding of—drug treatment and recovery.• Local and state health departments should increase awareness among the public and health professionals of the signs and symptoms of overdose, improve awareness of and facilitate access to naloxone, and support entry into treatment and recovery for those individuals seeking such services.• Local and state health departments should develop and disseminate evidence-based, comprehensive toolkits that provide resources to assist communities in responding to opioid and heroin outbreaks.• The medical community, pharmaceutical companies, the FDA, and other entities involved in the dissemination of information regarding opioids should develop educational materials aimed at health professionals and patients (including family members) that specifically address the risks associated with prescription opioids and include information regarding signs and symptoms of overdose and the role that naloxone can play in reversing an overdose from opioids.• Professional preparation schools and programs for health care providers and public health, allied health, health education, and health communication professionals should strengthen their professional preparation and training with respect to the risks associated with prescription opioids, signs and symptoms of overdose, and how to work with patients and their families in an effort to prevent and reduce misuse and overdose. Training should address safe storage of prescription drugs, access to naloxone, what to do in response to an overdose, and how to support entry into treatment and recovery services.References 1.

It sounds like a lot of people on here only want Tech to tour with the SM roster. Every time a tour comes up, people complain about "why isn't (insert SM artist here) on the tour?!?!?!??!?". Personally, I like it more when Tech tours with artists from other labels, and brings along a couple of his own artists. And then every so often throw in an all Strange tour. Thoughts?
I agree, I like when he tours with other artists. It's cool to see Tech, Krizz Kutt, etc.. but I like to see something new every once in a while. And we've all wanted Tech to get this exposure from the beginning and this is a good way for him to continue to build a fan base.
I've only been to the A6A7 tour, but to answer your question I would RATHER see an all Strange show but I do think it's necessary for him to tour with other artists 'n depending on who it is it can make the show better or worse. But since I haven't experienced a tour with ppl outside of Strange I can't say too much just what I think I'd like to see more, although I'm sure the K.O.D. tour with Slaughterhouse was crazy.
I like seeing him tour with people outside of Strange, as long as they're quality artists. I loved when Slaughterhouse toured with Tech, because they put on a good show. MGK? I'm guessing he's pretty lively, but I just do not like his music.
other artists.
kod was so nice
The tours with other artists are pretty sick, but I would prefer all Strange artists tour. Also, how is there no Kutt on the next tour?? That's never happened before.
Other artists for sure
The only tour where he was with other artists other than Strange that I was excited about, was the KOD tour. Didnt really care about when he did the tour with E40 or Paul Wall, and I dont really care for MGK that much. I just dont understand how you can leave Kutt out of a tour, but bring Mayday, Prozak, Stone, and Krizz. Its just kinda weird. I guess most fans are accustomed to seeing Krizz and Kutt there with Tech on every tour.
depends who it is.
MGK. no
Slaughterhouse. Hell yeah
E-40. dope.

Crave at CNET UK: Here's a clever (and horribly overdue) idea–BMW's set to install iPad mounting brackets in the rear of its next X3 compact 4×4. Three cheers for common sense!
The brackets–an optional extra–will allow users to mount their iPads in the rear of the vehicle, just behind the driver or passenger seats. A special hinge will let the wonder tablets swivel into vertical and horizontal positions.
With a system like this, the entertainment and productivity possibilities are pretty much endless. Passengers will be able to use their iPads to enjoy music, videos, books, as well as thousands of apps and games.
