NEW YORK, January 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
As industry shifts force leading rival Cisco to start diversifying, Juniper looks to follow suit with red-hot software defined networks.
At a company event in Las Vegas, networking equipment manufacturer Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) [Full Research Report][1] announced that they will be rolling out a new strategy revolving around software defined networks (SDN) in a few months. This comes after their $176 million acquisition of little-known software networking start-up Contrail Systems in December, who was set to develop SDN prior to the acquisition.
A Whole New Ballgame
The move is seen to help Juniper recover from a dismal year, after only raking in $4.4 billion in its previous fiscal year, very small in comparison to direct rival Cisco's $36.3 billion that same period. The latter had previously diversified its offerings, including video, telephony, and computer switching products, while the former specialized in switching gear to telephone companies and ISPs.
The SDN market is seen to balloon from only about $360 million this year to an estimated $3.7 billion by 2016, according to market intelligence firm IDC. However a Techworld report warns that it could become something "like the world cloud, which arguably has come to mean everything and nothing."
Industry Shifts to New Paradigm
Software defined networks will revolutionize computer networking as you know it, by separating the data and control functions in routers and other networking infrastructure, simplifying the adjustments of network infrastructure when adding dozens or even hundreds of virtual machines to enterprise data centers.
Most of networking's tedious chores, like security, can now be done on cheaper servers and remotely programmed for different types of workload. Other processes like delivering Internet addresses and balancing workloads around the network can be done more easily as well.
"If you don't embrace the SDN model, you'll be in trouble," Juniper EVP Bob Muglia told New York Times. He adds that their custom-built hardware would still be attractive because they "make a network run faster than it could" on commodity machines, countering popular belief that the new product could wipe out Juniper's hardware business.
Juniper plans to sell the software based on usage, i.e. the amount of packets going through a system and a number of people using the network, unlike its core products that are being sold by the box. "We wanted something closer to enterprise software licensing," Muglia told New York Times. "Network hardware has no concept of perpetual usage."

Talented actress Achint Kaur who was last seen in Ek Veer Stree ki Kahaani Jhansi Ki Rani on Zee TV, made her way into films after taking a gap from TV. The actress has been working in Television from many
years and is loved by the audience for her outstanding performance. Achint is known for playing the vamp as Mandira in Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi. Recently Achint was seen in the popular film 2 States.
Well, as per the news this versatile actress is all set to return to TV.
As per our reliable sources, "Achint has given a look test for an upcoming show Jami Raja on Zee TV starring Nia Sharma and Ravi Dubey. Most probably Achint has been finalized to play a pivotal role in the show. She has not yet started shooting."
When we asked her about the upcoming show Jamai Raja she says, "I cannot talk about it, if things are finalized then I will surely talk about it but at present it's not the right time to talk about it."
As the actress will be seen again on TV, we asked Achint to know more about her love for Television and she says, "I have been working in television from past 15 years, I had just taken a break to do theater and films and I had to come back on Television. I won't say that I am more attached to Television than films or theater because I am a person who want to do everything. So after doing the film I planned to come back on television."
TellyBuzz wishes Achint Kaur all the best!

Their upcoming effort, Free Your Mind, will be only their fourth in nearly a decade. The band rolls through the Roseland just days before its November 5th release date.

The first in our series is on whether or not Illinois should raise its minimum wage to $10 from its current $8.25 an hour mark. Both candidates were offered a chance to sit down and participate, each given a month to find a time and place. …
Staff Editorial: Minimum wage measure a great step for Illinois
(Charleston Daily Eastern News © 10/22/2014)
October 21, 2014 Filed under Opinions With Election Day drawing near, one of the selections on the ballots has caused widespread debate through Illinois minimum wage hikes. With Gov. Pat Quinn fiercely supporting an increase from $8.25 to $10 an hour, and candidate Bruce Rauner wanting to raise the minimum wage only if three business-related policies are passed, it should be noted that increasing …

Guestbook comments from the manager
We just returned from our trip here and this place is a wow! It can be compared to a four seasons resort. We were a couple in our early 30's that stayed in a 1bd/1ba unit, which was more than enough room for 2 people. The unit had all top of the line everything! The pool and beach were phenomenal and the service was A+. You never had any problem finding a chair and the pool manager Samuel was great. The pools are definitely some of the nicest in cabo. At the beach they provided free paddle boards, kayaks and snorkeling gear. The beach was a pleasure to be at because there was no vendors continuously soliciting you. All the other resorts on medano beach were packed with people and vendors. If you are looking for a 5 star resort on a swimmable beach walking distance to town, then this is your place!!
Room Tip: Building 5 is closest to the pool and beach.

Johns Hopkins Poised to Welcome Anti-LGBT Surgeon, Commentator as Commencement Speaker
April 4, 2013 by HRC staff
Post submited by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
Johns Hopkins University appears to be standing by the commencement speaker for the university's medical school, Dr. Ben Carson. In a recent Fox News appearance, Carson blasted marriage equality and even equated it to bestiality and pedophilia:
Marriage is between a man and a woman. No group, be they gays, be they NAMBLA, be they people who believe in bestiality, it doesn't matter what they are. They don't get to change the definition.
Hundreds of medical school students due to attend the commencement ceremonies have spoken out against Carson's remarks. This isn't the first time Carson has railed against marriage equality – in his book America the Beautiful, Carson dramatically warned that embracing marriage equality for loving, committed same-sex couples would actually lead to the downfall of our civilization:
I believe God loves homosexuals as much as he loves everyone, but if we can redefine marriage as between two men or two women or any other way based on social pressures as opposed to between a man and a woman, we will continue to redefine it in any way that we wish, which is a slippery slope with a disastrous ending, as witnessed in the dramatic fall of the Roman Empire.
Last week, Carson offered a muddled apology to MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell – while essentially re-stating his original offensive remarks, asking: "My point was that once we start changing the definitions, then where do we stop?"

Forum addresses healthcare changes for businesses
The Supreme Court spoke loud and clear almost a month ago when it upheld the entire Affordable Care Act (ACA) as constitutional in a monumental decision that will affect businesses and individuals alike.
Businesses in the Richmond area are now left trying to decipher and understand the complexities of the bill and how it will affect them and insurance carriers.
"Whether you represent small, large, public or nonprofit entities, we're all going to be effected as employers and consumers," Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce and BB&T Insurance Services of Virginia executive Seth Roth said during a panel discussion about healthcare reform July 19 at the Anthem Headquarters in Henrico.
The discussion, hosted by the Chamber to address the changes that come with the ACA, involved four leading experts who spoke on behalf of various health-related businesses to assist in the understanding of what the decision means and what local companies need to do to move forward.
The ACA essentially will make going without insurance something that is taxable by the government, while enlisting new laws that employers must comply with or face penalties. Many of the ACA changes have started to take effect this year.
Employers now will be required to complete W2 reporting on the cost of employer-sponsored group health care coverage.
For the W2 reporting a section will be added to box 12 to include a new code "DD" that reports the costs of employee sponsored healthcare coverage.
Anthem and other health insurers in Virginia already are dealing with the new laws, as rebate checks are being mailed to customers for not spending enough of health premiums on medical costs under some health plans.
The medical loss ratio rebates issued to consumers require insurance companies to spend a certain percentage of premium dollars on medical care and health care improvement. The rebates have to be distributed as taxable income to employers, said Susan Maley Rash, vice president at BB&T Benefit Consultants of Virginia.
Employers also must cover specific preventative health services for women with exceptions applying to religious employers. Employers also must have offer a $2,500 maximum contribution to healthcare flexible spending (FSA) plans and enlist new Medicare taxes, which will be increased by nine percent.
There also will be a tax on unearned income for high-income individuals and couples.
Opinions on law split
One of the ACA decisions that already has been implemented and will remain in effect is the requirement to cover adult children until age 26 and the requirement of non-grandfathered plans to cover certain preventative care services without cost-sharing.
By 2014, people may no longer be declined for pre-existing conditions, and there will be a modified community rating for small groups and individuals.
The rates will be based upon family tier, age, geography and tobacco use. The change is designed to decrease insurance rates for those who are older and increase rates for insured younger people.
"The healthcare reform laws were needed," said Mckinley Tucker, CEO of Risk and Identity Solutions, a Henrico-based small business.
"We are the only industrialized nation without healthcare and I think people should try to get some of the emotion out of the issue and look at the positives," Tucker said. "My daughter is 23 years old and was in the hospital over 20 times between Feb. 14 and now, and she has more pre-existing conditions than you could imagine. As a retired teacher, I was thinking about taking a job to help her pay for her insurance because it would go up. But with the new law she can stay on my insurance until 26 and I can keep her on the plan for as long as I can."
Not everyone is so optimistic about the ACA; larger companies of 50 employees or more may have to deal with penalties.
Beginning in 2014, there will be an employer penalty for not offering minimum coverage, as well as an employer tax for not offering minimum coverage and an annual insurer fee for fully insured businesses.
If companies have less than 25 full-time employees who each make an average of less than $50,000, there is a credit allowable for a two-year period but only if coverage is purchased through the exchange.
"We will probably benefit from the new law," said Charles E. McCabe, president and CEO of People's Tax in Glen Allen. "I have about 15 full-time and 20 seasonal employees so we're below 50 employees and will not be affected by the penalties, and we pay 50 percent of the employees' health care now."
Tax credits will help small businesses and nonprofit organizations, and the credits currently total as much as 35 percent of the businesses' health premiums but will increase to 50 percent in 2014.
However medium to large businesses - those with at least 50 full-time employees - will not benefit because the "pay or play" penalty will be enacted. Certain employers that either don't offer health care or do not meet the law's test for affordability will face penalties.
It is possible that changes could be made to the ACA through future legislation or court rulings; however, the health care reform law is currently in effect and employers should continue to prepare for ACA changes that will become effective in the next two years. For answers to many of the big questions, carriers and employers will have to wait until after the election in November.

Jean-Laurent Casanova to receive 2014 Robert Koch Award
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Jean-Laurent Casanova, head of the St. Giles Laboratory of Human Genetics of Infectious Diseases, has been awarded the 2014 Robert Koch Award from the Berlin, Germany based Robert Koch Foundation. Casanova shares the prize with Alain Fischer from the Collège de France and Imagine Institute and the Necker Hospital for Sick Children in Paris. They will receive the €100,000 prize at an award ceremony in November.
The Robert Koch Foundation is a nonprofit foundation dedicated to the promotion of basic scientific research in the field of infectious diseases, as well as exemplary projects that address medical and hygienic issues. Robert Koch, after whom the award is named, was the founder of modern-day bacteriology, for which he was awarded the 1905 Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology. From 1891 until his retirement in 1904, Koch was Head of the Institute for Infectious Diseases in Berlin. The Robert Koch Award is one of Germany's most distinguished scientific awards.
Casanova and Fischer are being honored for their groundbreaking work on understanding host genes and their products in infectious diseases. Casanova is interested in why some children develop severe infectious diseases after coming into contact with certain pathogens, while most other children do not. He and his colleagues have discovered "holes" in the immune systems of otherwise healthy children that make them susceptible to specific, sometimes life-threatening infectious diseases. These holes are caused by congenital mutations in a single gene, and are responsible for the susceptibility to certain infections including mycobacterial diseases, herpes simplex virus encephalitis, invasive pneumococcal disease, chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis or Kaposi sarcoma.
The practical implementations of these findings include molecular diagnosis and genetic counselling for the patients and their families as well as the development of targeted therapies with recombinant cytokines aimed at restoring a deficient immune response.
Casanova has been at Rockefeller since 2008 and has been a Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator since 2014. He is a member of the European Molecular Biology Organization and the American Society for Clinical Investigation. Casanova was the recipient of the Professor Lucien Dautrebande Pathophysiology Foundation Prize from the Belgian Royal Academy of Medicine in 2004, the Richard Lounsbery Award from the French and American Academies of Sciences in 2008, the Oswald Avery Award from the Infectious Disease Society of America in 2009, the E. Mead Johnson Award from the Society for Pediatric Research in 2010, the InBev Baillet-Latour Foundation in Belgium in 2011, the Ilse and Helmut Wachter Foundation Award and the Milstein Award in 2012, and the American Pediatric Society Norman J. Siegel New Member Outstanding Science Award and the Presidential Award of the Clinical Immunology Society, both in 2014.
Casanova is the second Rockefeller faculty member to receive the Koch Award since it was first presented in 1970; Ralph Steinman received the prize in 1999.

Workplace Success – What You Need to Know This Week ow.ly/ECbBa
Category: Video Conferencing
For companies looking to dive in to this mobile video craze, having a solid plan of attack is very important. Not only will it help determine the technology requirements, it ensures a consistent user experience for all participants involved. The first step in developing a mobile video strategy is to define the organization's video environment. This focuses on determining the following key areas: End users Video devices & applications Meeting types Current video equipment Goals & objectives Essentially, this means organizations should outline who will be using mobile video, what devices these participants will be connecting with, what types of meetings will be conducted, and the objectives …Read more
Video conferencing security continues to make news every now and then. Last year, it was HD Moore who hacked into conference rooms around the globe and this year German magazine Der Spiegel said the NSA hacked into the United Nations video conferencing system. In the wake of these events, many users of video conferencing get worried and some get downright paranoid. However, video can be extremely secure if it is configured properly. All standards-based video conferencing systems include 128-bit AES encryption which secures the audio and video data being sent between users. Encrypting the audio and video packets prevents hackers from …Read more
With the next generation of executives taking control over established companies, new changes are bound to arise. The 2013 Cisco Global Young Executives' Video Attitudes Survey shows that many of these new managers are interested in video collaboration and plan on incorporating it into their business or company. Many new managers understand the benefits video can provide for their company, and some will not even consider working with other companies unless they use it as a tool. The convenience of video conferencing is something that many young executives and managers are taking advantage of because it allows participants to read visual …Read more
Another school year is upon us, and again we are faced with the challenge of accessibility and cost of education. Massive open online classes, more commonly referred to as MOOC's, are gaining substantial popularity across the nation. These online courses, offered to large numbers of students, and often free of charge, use a recorded video curriculum that students can access at their convenience. One of the major benefits is the on-demand structure of that content. Furthermore, this increased accessibility allows students to participate regardless of their location or scheduled availability. Although MOOC's can vary drastically from class to class, they have one …Read more
There are numerous statistics that discuss the proliferation of video conferencing into conference rooms and other meeting environments. Every year, some analyst or video evangelist says, "This is the year video is going to explode!" While video continues to grow at a steady pace, that "explosion" of mass adoption and ubiquity has yet to happen. Right now, only 5% of conference rooms are equipped with some form of video conferencing. This leaves a lot of room for growth! A typical situation for an organization implementing video usually follows this formula; ten conference rooms have been identified as "video rooms" and will …Read more

American Telemedicine Association's policy duo, Jonathan Linkous, CEO, and Gary Capistrant, Senior Director of Public Policy, return with updates and new information regarding telemedicine. Medicare Several weeks ago Medicare created its proposed rulemaking for the physician fee schedule, set to begin on January 1st, 2014. There have also been two major improvements proposed for telehealth. One is the expansion of the definition of a rural health shortage area. The purpose of this is to increase coverage of telehealth by allowing more areas to be considered metropolitan counties. This proposal will help the 104 counties that lost their telehealth coverage due to their …Read more
The federal government has experienced the benefits of video conferencing and now new legislation is being introduced to demand it. Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania has introduced a new bill, the Stay in Place, Cut the Waste Act of 2013, into the House of Representatives that encourages the usage of collaborative solutions, such as video conferencing, to reduce the amount spent on travel by federal agencies. If this bill passes, at least 50% of federal travel expenditures will be cut, saving taxpayer dollars. Many of the benefits of video conferencing have been mentioned in the bill. While it will not only …Read more
Video conferencing has quickly become a major tool that many companies utilize. Cory Johnson of Bloomberg Television's "Bloomberg West" talked with Cisco Senior Vice President Collaboration Technology Group, Rowan Trollope, via video about the adoption rate of video conferencing. Trollope gave some insight into Cisco saying that about 38% of Cisco's employees do not work at the same site as their managers; however, it's not really an issue thanks to video conferencing. Video collaboration technology has allowed managers and employees to stay in touch with one another and chat about certain projects or simply to keep one another updated. Connecting via …Read more

text: Have you ever scheduled a visit with a physician assistant when you were sick or injured? If you've never used one before, you could be missing out. These nationally certified and state-licensed medical professionals can handle many of the same tasks your regular doctor would perform, including: diagnosing your illness, ordering tests, and prescribing medications. In many cases, it's also easier to get an appointment with one, and it's typically cheaper, too. For students, the choice to become a physician assistant means less time in school (approximately 26 months), but it can still be a costly degree path. Most programs require several years of training and experience, as well as clinical rotations (2,000 hours or more). Thankfully, there are several financial aid resources for those who are considering this career choice.

Weymouth, Mass. lacrosse player back on field after losing part of leg
After losing part of his leg in a car crash, Matt Freitas, 12, is back on the lacrosse field in Weymouth with a prosthetic that has lacrosse sticks decorating the stem.
"My doctor said I'd be in a walker for two months. It took two hours, and I'm getting better in walking," Matt said.
Just weeks after getting his new right leg, Matt returned to the field alongside his Weymouth Wildcats teammates.
"He's been really strong. Most kids when they break their legs they're out for the whole season. He only missed like half," teammate Dallas Marrocco said.
On Jan. 4, the sixth-grader was in a serious car crash in Maine.
"It was a Friday night, we were actually on a Boy Scout camping trip, going skiing and the accident occurred and Matt had to have his foot amputated that Friday night," said Matt's father, Scott Freitas.
Matt was back at Abigail Adams Middle School within two weeks, and while he couldn't yet play his sport he never left the team.
"He came to every practice, came to every game to help coaching," coach John Kelleher said.
"He's in his wheelchair, yelling louder than anybody I could hear on the field," coach Frank Younie said.
With plans to reach out to those that lost limbs in the Boston Marathon attack and offer support, Matt says it's attitude that carries him through.
"You shouldn't be a pessimist if anything bad happens to you; you should really be an optimist," Matt said.

European market on Oct. 10th, for a price of €399 ($565). The unit sports only two USB ports (instead of four) and does not include the multi-memory ports. And, in a move we absolutely cannot understand, the new model is not backwards compatible with PS2 discs. Seriously.
Since BC is handled by software emulation (in the 80GB model), why is it gone from the 40-gigger? It's not that DVD support has been removed from the Blu-ray drive, as Sony continues to hype DVD movie upscaling. But the official line is, "the new model is no longer backwards compatible with PlayStation 2 titles, reflecting both the reduced emphasis placed on this feature amongst later purchasers of PS3, as well as the availability of a more extensive line-up of PS3 specific titles." Extensive? Don't even get us started...
If BC's on your checklist, you best scoop up a Starter Pack (now €499) "while stocks last."
