Polycom, Inc. (Nasdaq: PLCM), the global leader in open standards-based unified communications and collaboration (UC&C), today announced that the Polycom® RealPresence® Platform will be part of the underlying infrastructure that powers six out of the seven service providers that are offering breakthrough Open Visual Communications Consortium™ (OVCC™) compliant, cloud-delivered video collaboration services. The OVCC organization today announced the first OVCC compliant, multi-network video collaboration services offered by service providers under their respective brands*. The services allow businesses of all sizes to participate in seamless video collaboration meetings, even if the participants are in different companies and served by different service providers. Using OVCC compliant services, customers can now initiate a video conference as simply as a phone conference.
As the most comprehensive and interoperable software infrastructure for universal video collaboration, the RealPresence Platform provides the carrier-grade video infrastructure needed for these new OVCC compliant services, delivering scalability, security, interoperability, reliability, and manageability. OVCC compliant service providers such as BCS Global, Bharti Airtel, BT Conferencing, and Glowpoint, among others, as well as Masergy, which provides network services, will all use the RealPresence Platform to help power their offerings.
"The breakthrough network-to-network interoperability of the OVCC service is eliminating technical obstacles to make video collaboration as easy as a phone call," said Andy Miller, CEO, Polycom. "Together with our OVCC partners we are working to remove impediments for customers to drive mass adoption of video collaboration, and make it easy for anyone to participate on a video conference, regardless of the network, vendor, or device. The RealPresence Platform offers the infrastructure needed to deliver the interoperability, scalability, and reliability for our service provider partners so they can provide a seamless experience to all of their customers."
The RealPresence Platform was recently enhanced to include the industry's first open standards-based SVC (Scalable Video Coding), with 3X HD multipoint video call capacity for greater scalability, dramatically lower TCO, superior performance, and backwards- and forwards-compatibility to protect customer investments—all available through a software update. Additionally, to meet the unique needs of service providers, the RealPresence Platform offers multi-tenant capabilities and open application programming interfaces (APIs). With multi-tenancy, service providers can use a single physical Polycom® RealPresence® Resource Manager to support multiple customers, which optimizes resource investments and reduces operating costs. With the open APIs, service providers can extend the RealPresence Platform by building new apps to support and differentiate their services and to increase revenue per user.
For more information on the services, please contact an OVCC compliant service provider.
Open Visual Communications Consortium is a group of global video exchange providers, network providers and equipment manufacturers that have united to expand video communications and simplify video calls. Polycom and industry leading partners announced the initiative in June 2011. The consortium launched as an independent organization with Polycom and eight other founding members in October 2011. Since its launch, it has grown to 31 members, which includes Verizon, BT Conferencing, Bharti Airtel, and others. OVCC members will create multi-vendor, multi-network specifications offering a technical blueprint and business model to support the full spectrum of video systems, from immersive telepresence and room-based systems, to high definition and standard definition, and from desktop clients to mobile devices.

As a network service provider, Masergy is not offering an OVCC service to customers under its own brand.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Mark Hayward's City Matters: Old injury a pain for would-be firefighter
He doesn't take it lightly, and he said that's the last thing he wants to do.
But twice Fosher — a strapping 23-year-old who hopes to follow his father and grandfather into the city firefighter ranks — has been promised the job in writing. And twice he has been denied for medical reasons that his surgeon and state fire officials have said should not be an issue.
"You go to the (New Hampshire Fire) Academy, you do all the fire work there. You go through all this, you get hired, and it comes back to haunt you," Fosher said.
The standards accommodate many ailments. As long as you pass physical and agility tests, you can have a history of substance abuse, cancer or heart surgery. You can have arthritis, migraines, partial limb amputation, irritable bowel syndrome, gastrointestinal bleeding, cystic fibrosis or hearing loss.
Fire Chief Jim Burkush has twice offered Fosher the job. Burkush said he's been advised to avoid extensive comment on the case because Fosher has filed a complaint with the New Hampshire Human Rights Commission.
"The doctor is totally impartial," Burkush said.
Meanwhile, Burkush is dealing with other issues related to employment. The mayor wants to reduce the number of firefighters working at any given time.
He has an associate degree in fire science. He holds a commercial driver's license and certifications for emergency medical technician and Firefighter II — all required before someone can even get interviewed for the job.
His orthopedic surgeon at Boston Children's Hospital has cleared him for work as a firefighter. And the New Hampshire Fire Standards and Training Commission granted a waiver from the back injury standards.
The Human Rights Commission complaint is pending. The city has answered it, said Peter Chiesa, an assistant city solicitor who said he won't discuss the matter because of the pending complaint. If the commission doesn't make a ruling by the end of this month, Fosher has the option of filing a discrimination suit in federal court.
"It's a matter of people being so wrapped up in rules," Meyer said. "Jon has run into a bureaucracy and just can't get through it."
Today, meanwhile, is a day for firefighters.
Thousands from across the country gather in Boston today out of respect for Michael Kennedy, a firefighter who died last week in the line of duty.
"I've learned to realize I can't wait and put conditions on being happy," he said, "but this is what I want to do in life. My career's on hold."

In response to the latest click fraud report from Click Forensics, Google's Shuman Ghosemajumder has responded in a two part post on his personal blog.
"On a basic level, these numbers are much higher than what we see at Google, and are not at all representative of the actual statistics of our network," he writes.
He goes on to outline problems with the methodology behind the reports from Click Forensics and others, most seriously the practice of counting page views as clicks, and the fact that even fraudulent clicks that Google detects and removes before the advertiser is charged are counted in click fraud reports.
"The key point here is not that their numbers are 'too high.' The point is that their data collection methods are inherently flawed and any resemblance their numbers could have to reality would be coincidental," Ghosemajumder writes.
He brings up many of the same points he mentioned when he spoke with me about the "Sausage Manifesto" last month (more from Shuman here). It's mission to debunk click fraud reports stepped up in March 2006 after SES NY, and went into full force at SES San Jose in August, when it released a white paper called "How Fictitious Clicks Occur in Third-Party Click Fraud Audit Reports" to specifically address what it calls flaws in the methodology of click fraud auditors like Click Forensics.
Google's Matt Cutts adds his take, with pretty pictures, on his blog.

About me
Fascinated by Scotland's turbulent history, and in particular the 16th century, I've just finished my first novel which was the Historical Fiction Winner in the 2011 Harper Collins / Alan Titchmarsh People's Novelist Competition. Published on 22nd November 2012 by Capercaillie Books, it is available via any bookshop and online stores.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Turn-Tide-Margaret-Skea/dp/1909305065/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1354089317&sr=1-1

It is likely that public office before 594 BC was in practice confined to the eupatridae and that they had a political monopoly comparable to that of other Greek aristocracies in the Archaic period. Solon's reforms, by establishing property qualifications for office, limited their power, which disappeared entirely after 580.

Jubilee Opera presents new Lord Nelson show this weekend
16 November 2013
Hip-Hip Horatio! is a new music theatre work by Michael Hurd, staged by Jubilee Opera this weekend (17 and 18th November).
Specially chosen to suit the mood of the Jubilee and Olympic Year, this entertaining and dramatic piece charts Admiral Lord Nelson's life and achievements. The music is lively and engaging, exploring songs of different genres in the choruses and, with a narrator and solo parts, allowing opportunities for cameo roles and a number of choreographed dances.
Jubilee Opera, based in Suffolk, works with children and professional practitioners from different areas of performance art, aiming to give opportunities for young people to work together on music-theatre productions of an extremely high quality. Thirty-four children have been selected to participate in Hip-Hip Horatio! together with a group of seven professional instrumentalists. The production will be preceded by semi-staged traditional and modern sea songs and shanties sung by children from local primary schools with a number of solos and ensembles performed by senior members of Jubilee Opera Chorus.
The Conductor is Timothy Henty, music director on several of Matthew Bourne's celebrated ballet productions at London's Sadler's Wells. The director is Frederic Wake-Walker, who has just directed Julian Philips opera The Yellow Sofa, currently on Glyndebourne Tour and seen at the Royal Opera House's Lindbury Studio.
Hip-Hip Horatio! is intended as a stepping-stone for younger members of Jubilee Opera in anticipation of the company's special Britten Centenary production in 2013. This fully staged Jubilee Opera production will combine excerpts from Britten operas and vocal music to create a dream journey through childhood, reflected through the eyes of the tenor soloist, sung by Alan Oke. Performances will take place on 9 and 10 November 2013 in Jubilee Hall, Aldeburgh.
Hip-Hip Horatio! takes place in Aldeburgh's Jubilee Hall, Suffolk, on Saturday 17 November 2012 at 3pm & 6pm, and on Sunday 18 November 2012 at 3pm
Runners-up in the Opera Now Montblanc competition
15 October 2013
Thank you to our many readers from all over the world who sent in their memorable encounters of opera.
My first time
I first experienced opera in an Iowa City living room. A friend of mine asked me to accompany him to a DVD screening at the home of an Austrian couple. I would be the only person who wasn't, in his words, an 'opera fanatic.'
I was anxious. I searched for opera information online. I learned new phrases: opera buffa and libretto and bel canto. I researched the history of the show we were watching, then listened to various renditions of the music we would be hearing.
The internet had no answers for one of my biggest concerns: what do you wear to a living room opera? I decided jeans and a sweater were fine.
The night came, and the four of us had a home-cooked Austrian dinner and then watched Così fan tutte on a flat-screen TV. I enjoyed the music, the production, and the acting (even though I didn't understand a word of what I was watching).
Before that night, opera was something I thought I could only appreciate during opening ceremonies of the Olympics or when an opera singer released a new Christmas album. Before that night, I thought someone like me could never be cultured enough to 'get' opera.
To be fair, I still don't 'get' opera. I'm not comfortable discussing the relative merits of the Italian and German style. I'm not interested in comparing Maria Callas, Joan Sutherland and Anna Netrebko. They're all great, to me.
I'm an uneducated beginner, but watching my first opera in an Iowa living room taught me to appreciate opera on my own terms. Feel like switching between arias and Jay Z on YouTube? Go for it! Don't have enough money to visit the Lyric Opera for every show? Do what you can.
The lesson was: enjoy opera in living rooms, in theatres, or through live broadcasts of the Met at your local cinema. Rent a tux when you have to; but, if you enjoy it, find ways to experience opera on your terms.
Maybe someday I'll feel educated enough to choose between modern or traditional stagings of classic operas (I think I prefer modern stagings ... but I love traditional too). Until then, I'll enjoy it however I can.
Drew Cummings-Peterson, Iowa USA
A lingering memory
It was Nabucco in 1953, performed by what was at the time the pro-am Welsh National Opera company. It was at the Grand Theatre Swansea and I was just 14. My father persuaded me to go; he was a good amateur tenor of concert standard, but he couldn't go with me as he was working night shifts at the local steelworks.
I caught the bus for an eight-mile ride into Swansea and queued. There was some advance publicity but we couldn't book as we had no phone. It was a long queue and I was kept busy by looking at pictures of the stars – Ruth Packer as Abigaille and Tano Ferendinos as Ismaele. I can't remember the others sadly. One comment in the queue was 'any good tunes in this one?' We also saw the chorus arriving at the stage door, many still in their work clothes.
The box office opened and I bought my ticket which was way up in the 'gods'. The opera began. I was stunned; the colour, the sound, the costumes, the exoticism of Nebuchadnezzar's Mesopotamia, couldn't be further removed from the coal mining and steelmaking grimness of the lower Swansea Valley in the early '50s. How did they manage to get the massive and monumental sets up there? How did the singers sing over the orchestra? When 'Va, pensiero' ended, there was silence and then a crash of sound I have never heard since – even when Wales beat England at rugby!
Then it was over. I left the theatre in a daze, got to the bus stop and found I had spent all my money on a programme and a drink. So I walked home, all eight miles, humming and singing all I could remember. I got home shattered and my mother frantic as it was after 11 at night and I had school the next day.
It was unforgettable, however, and I became an instant operaphile – and I still am at 74 years of age.
David Price, Tonbridge, Kent
A star is born
Cape Town as a venue for operatic productions is by no means a rival for the great companies operating at Covent Garden, the Met and other famous houses. Our currency is too weak, and our shores too distant to attract booked-to-the-hilt stars like Netrebko and Kaufmann.
Fortunately we have some enviable home-grown talent, though admittedly they operate out of more conveniently located cities like London and Milan. Thus it was that local opera lovers girded their loins and dusted off their finery when Pretty Yende and Colin Lee rolled into town for a concert performance of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, under the baton of Richard Bonynge. Front row seats were the only sensible choice
Colin Lee is a favourite in Cape Town, but it must be said that the evening was Pretty's. She trained at the University of Cape Town some years ago, and it was clear from the start that here was an exceptional talent. Even so, her meteoric rise has taken our breath away. Is this the little girl inspired by a British Airways ad? There was a palpable sense of excitement. She just had to walk onto the stage to have us in the palm of her hand. And what a performance it was, her soaring lyric soprano washing over us, her clarion top notes sending shivers down our spines. I glanced at the audience behind me. The word swooning came to mind. During her mad aria I struggled to suppress hysterical giggles: it was so…well…insane. The standing ovation went on and on, and when Richard Bonynge warmly congratulated her, I couldn't help wondering if he was remembering his late wife Joan Sutherland's benchmark performances of this aria.
What an impossible task Colin Lee had, with so much of his role still to come, and after such a climax. So here's my confession: Lee's Edgardo stole the show. I'm a sucker for a lyric tenor, and what a lyric tenor we had! A friend commented to me afterwards that this thought kept on flicking through her brain: he sings like an accountant. She didn't know that he is one, and it was meant (believe it or not) as a compliment. His passionate, effortless lyricism was so precisely rendered that I immediately understood why my friend had thought accountant. I'm sure that was Pretty's mother sitting three seats down from me (didn't have the courage to ask). She was the first to leap to her feet to give him the standing ovation he deserved.
I don't need to tell you the rest: the clap clap, bow bow, trooping in and out, smile smile. The race to the car park. There's something about world-class opera: it stays with you forever.

NI Opera scores a hit with Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore
9 October 2013, Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland
Unaffected and heart-warming: Anna Patalong and John Molloy in NI Opera's 'Elixir of Love'(Photo: Paul Moane)
Recasting Donizetti's comedy of gullible hicks as Grease set in a dowdy Irish high school might sound odd, but Oliver Mears's production for NI Opera pulled off the trick with witty charm (helped along by Arthur Jacobs's lovely old translation).
So well pitched was Mears's staging of this bel canto classic, that the unpretentious crowd in the spanking new Theatre at the Mill in Newtownabbey, a few miles north of Belfast, awarded it one of the most spontaneous standing ovations I've seen.
The tiny orchestra of 17, soloists of the Ulster Orchestra, could have had a bit more zing but David Brophy conducted with a lilting elegance that conjured Schubert in chamber-mode in the overture before reverting to the strumming accompaniments of Donizetti's graceful, pathos-laden idiom; the (mostly) single instruments revelled in the chaste detailing of this affectionate score.
It may not have been strict social realism, but Mears treated his personnel like real people, letting relationships develop and creating familiar characters without cliché. Anna Patalong's teacher Adina was a buttoned-up, repressed romantic just waiting for someone to melt her ice, and her beautifully controlled singing brought many shades and a rare ardour to what can be a chilly character. There was a palpable sense here of someone growing up and admitting her true nature to herself.
Anthony Flaum sang Nemorino, rather squeezed at the top but altogether very fluent. This geeky no-hoper actually turned out to be a pretty snappy mover, and Flaum caught the mix of baffled innocence, droopy defeatism and childlike glee brilliantly; teased, beaten up, rejected, he just bounced back like a beach ball.
The beating-up was administered by James McOran-Campbell as bluff chancer Belcore, with his army-recruitment gang the object of much cooing admiration from the sixth-form girls. Inevitably stealing the show was John Molloy as Dulcamara, a slippery customer equipped with a chemistry set and stage-Oirish asides that were, for once, actually quite funny. From his first insulting greeting to the 'provincial folk' patsies, this Dulcamara was a ball of opportunistic energy, resourceful and adept, creating a proper relationship with Adina (their 'Senator' cameo was particularly smart) and the happy vehicle for Donizetti's optimistic contention that human nature can create good out of the most unlikely motivation.
Mears's fast-moving, inventive and sensitive staging was full of good things: I particularly liked a foolish wedding-feast parade of historical lovers. There weren't too many subtexts here, but this was among the most unaffectedly heart-warming and well-thought-out Elisirs you could hope for.
NI Opera's Elixir of Love will tour to the Republic of Ireland from 25 January to 8 February 2014, visiting Navan, Sligo, Dun Laoghaire, Letterkenny, Dublin, Tralee and Galway.
Peter Grimes on Aldeburgh Beach
21 June 2013, Aldeburgh, UK

Review by Hannah Nepil
Widely anticipated as the Benjamin Britten centenary tribute of the year, Tim Albery's production of Peter Grimes on Aldeburgh beach – open to the elements – could hardly avoid selling out at the box office. In the end, the event proved every bit as successful as the build-up had promised.
This was, astonishingly, the first production of Peter Grimes to be staged in Aldeburgh, the composer's sleepy home town on the Suffolk coast, where the opera's narrative actually unfolds. Walking along the ram-packed seafront, I felt as though I was limbering up for a rock gig. On one side of the beach stood a towering block of tiered seating, flanked by an army of Portaloos. On the other was the coastline, blocked partially from view by Albery's impressive but simple set: an enormous platform comprising five large fishing boats.
Once the music started, the audience was fully immersed in Grimes's world – one underscored by the cry of swooping seagulls, the sound of rushing wind and the rumbling of the North Sea, just a few metres away. The show began shortly before sunset and ended at midnight. Peter Grimes's final departure took place in total darkness. A more haunting conclusion would be difficult to imagine.
Inevitably, there was a price to pay: miked up to the maximum, the singers struggled to maintain sound quality, while Steuart Bedford's pre-recorded orchestra boomed out of the speakers. Words were muffled by electronic distortion and, with no surtitles to fall back on, it was easy to lose sense of the plot. At times it was hard to distinguish who was singing at all. For those who had not seen the opera before, this possibly wasn't the best way in.
Then again, the singers performed with conviction and stoicism – some braving the elements in the skimpiest of costumes. Alan Oke's Grimes was a portrait of complexity: rough, tough and terrified. Giselle Allen's Ellen Orford exuded softness and warmth.
There's little chance of this Grimes being repeated in the near future; but it certainly won't be quickly forgotten.
'Grimes on the Beach' will be screened in cinemas across the UK from Thursday 5 September 2013. Click here for the full screening schedule and online bookings
English Touring Opera's spring season 2013

Review by George Hall
English Touring Opera's spring tour is a huge undertaking, visiting 19 theatres around the UK, from Truro in Cornwall to Perth in Scotland, over a busy three months of travel and performance. This year's tour offered three main-stage titles as well as the new children's opera Laika the Spacedog, and Spin, a new piece designed for young people with severe learning difficulties.
Donizetti rare L'assedio di Calais (Siege of Calais) proved the most problematic evening of the three, though not on account of the piece, a mature work (1836) which, even if not a major hit in the composer's lifetime, has been successfully revived in ours – notably at the Wexford Festival and twice by the Guildhall School of Music and Drama; director James Conway's production, though, represented the first professional staging in the UK.
It was not one of his best. Part of the problem stemmed from a decision to drop the opera's third act – in which the English King Edward III, urged on by his queen, pardons rather than executes the famous Burghers of Calais, and the opera ends on a note of forgiveness and joy. Donizetti expressed dissatisfaction with his original act, and revised it, but while there is evidence that it was entirely dropped in later Neapolitan performances, there is none to suggest that this decision had the composer's approval. In ETO's production, individual numbers from Act III were repositioned earlier in the score while the narrative's overall trajectory was damagingly truncated: ending with the burghers preparing for martyrdom radically alters the work's moral tone.
The visual inspiration was the Siege of Stalingrad of 1942-43, rather than the 14th century. Samal Blak's designs conveyed the desperation of warfare, though the overall effect was untidy rather than coherent. What distinction the evening possessed came from Jeremy Silver's conducting and some fine singing from Cozmin Sime's Edoardo, Eddie Wade's Eustachio, Paula Sides's Eleonora and especially Helen Sherman's Aurelio, who demonstrated a real flair for articulating Donizetti's flamboyant writing.
More successful in its traditional way was Paul Higgs's staging of Mozart's Così fan tutte, set in period in Blak's elegant designs and sung in Martin Fitzpatrick's English translation. Not all of the complex ambiguity of the piece came through, though enough did to maintain interest; indeed the production came more sharply into focus as it went on.
While James Burton's conducting needed sharper definition and deeper insight into Mozart's score, the cast was more than presentable. Especially notable were Lorna Bridge's vulnerable Fiordiligi, Kitty Whately's characterful Dorabella, Anthony Gregory's graceful Ferrando and particularly Paula Sides's Despina. Sides gave a fully thought-through performance that emphasised the character's cynicism to a degree that was almost disturbing. This is a role that often sounds vocally pinched, so it was good to hear its vocal lines fleshed out with meaningful tone.
ETO's third production was its most ambitious. Simon Boccanegra is a big score, making substantial orchestral and choral demands as part of Verdi's grand scheme. Even with less than ideally sized forces at their disposal, the company attacked the piece with real gusto under its music director, Michael Rosewell, whose assured Verdian instincts registered with appreciable dramatic momentum.
The cast, too, rose to a series of major challenges with distinction. Craig Smith's Boccanegra combined vocal and dramatic authority in a realisation that rose to genuine nobility. Keel Watson's Fiesco possessed magnetism and grandeur, his resolute bass employed with imagination and variety. Elizabeth Llewellyn encompassed the requirements of Amelia with consistent vocal beauty and musical discrimination; with each new role she seems an ever more likely candidate for a top-level career. Charne Rochford took on the major tenor challenge of Gabriele Adorno with genuine success, even if the role clearly taxes him. Grant Doyle made the sinister Paolo into a focus of attention in a performance that was as finely acted as it was firmly sung.
This was Conway's second production of the season, and in it he showed what he is capable of at his best. The young, award-winning designer Samal Blak (who designed all three ETO productions) moved us forward to the corrupt and violent Italy of the 1970s, where the drama played out clearly on a stark platform. Dramatic values were high throughout, and the evening rose to remarkable heights.
ETO's spring season continues until the end of May, visiting Buxton, Cheltenham, Warwick, Perth, Cambridge, Guildford and Truro.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Gov. Tom Corbett said Tuesday that he will not pursue an expansion of Pennsylvania's Medicaid program, at least for now, echoing the longstanding complaints of other Republican governors about the cost, inflexibility and inefficiency of Medicaid.
Corbett won't pursue Medicaid expansion, for now
Corbett has not made a specific request from the federal Department of Health and Human Services for the kind of flexibility he wants, and his administration characterized a Tuesday letter to the agency's secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, as a starting point.
Corbett made his announcement as part of the budget plan he rolled out for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and sent the letter simultaneously.
In the letter, Corbett cites the potential cost, saying it would require a large tax increase on Pennsylvanians, and objects to what he called Medicaid's one-size-fits-all mandates that do not promote consumer choice in health care and personal responsibility.
"At this time, and without serious reforms, it would be financially unsustainable for Pennsylvania taxpayers, and I cannot recommend a dramatic Medicaid expansion," he wrote.
A Health and Human Services Department spokesman on Tuesday evening would only say that agency officials were reviewing the letter.
The Corbett administration anticipates that more than 800,000 Pennsylvanians would join Medicaid rolls beginning in 2014 by expanding Medicaid, the federal-state medical program for the poor and disabled that already provides care for one of every six residents in the state.
Top Republicans in the Legislature said they backed Corbett's decision, citing his complaints that he has been unable to get answers from the Department of Health and Human Services on crucial questions, such as whether some children who are covered under the so-called CHIP program must move to Medicaid.
