Progress Report of the Commission on College Physics30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941767View Description Hide Description
An appraisal of the current state of the art of undergraduatephysics instruction in the United States is followed by a review of some steps that are being taken toward the improvement of courses and curricula. These include conferences on curricula for physics majors, experiments with new introductory courses, the formation of study groups to develop ways of presenting various parts of physics, and the development of teaching aids (such as resource letters, paperback books for supplementary reading, films, apparatus for laboratories and demonstrations, and tests for evaluating curricular changes). The work of individual physicists,physics departments, and professional organizations is covered, along with that of the Commission on College Physics. Three appendices give the history of the Commission since its formation in 1960.
Interior Value Problems of Mathematical Physics. Part I. Wave Propagation30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941768View Description Hide Description
The Laplace transform has been applied to solve a class of problems in wave propagation that are converse to the well-known time-dependent Boundary Value Problems (BVP). From a knowledge of time-varying conditions on a suitably restricted set of points interior to a region, it is possible to deduce time-varying boundary conditions. These standard situations in slab, cylindrical, and spherical geometry have been treated for the finite domain. The solution of an Interior Value Problem (IVP) in the semi-infinite domain explicitly demonstrates the formulation of an advanced solution in contrast to the retarded solution for a Boundary Value Problem. Corresponding problems in heat conduction will be discussed in a subsequent article.
Axiomatic Deduction of the General Lorentz Transformations30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941769View Description Hide Description
The general Lorentz transformations are derived on the basis of a set of postulates which are fully consistent with the underlying ideas of Newtonian mechanics, but which of course do not include the independent postulate of absolute simultaneity. Thus, the assumption of the constancy of the vacuum speed of lightc is not introduced as a starting point. Instead, the given development leads to a universal critical velocity, and the two alternatives of its value being infinite or finite, correspond to the Newtonian and the relativistic kinematics, respectively, with the critical velocity identified with the experimental value c in the latter case.
A "Two Cultures" Physics Course30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941770View Description Hide Description
A physics course for students in the humanities is described. The course combines a detailed study of mechanics, particularly kinematics, with reading assignments stressing the interaction of science with art, literature, history, government, and other facets of contemporary society.
Initial Value Solution of Maxwell's Equations in Cold Plasma30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941771View Description Hide Description
Kirchoff and Liouville have derived the general initial value solution to Maxwell's equations in vacuum, i.e., the wave equation. Such a calculation is presented here for the case of a cold, collisionless, uniform, electron plasma.
Simple Derivation of the Electron-Nucleus Contact Hyperfine Interaction30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941772View Description Hide Description
A simple derivation is given of the Fermi formula for the contact hyperfine interaction energy between the magnetic moment of a nucleus and that of the surrounding electrons. Considerably fewer mathematical and more physical arguments are used than in previous derivations. It is shown that the contact hyperfine field at the nucleus is necessarily equal to the magnetic induction in the interior of a sphere possessing a uniform electronic magnetization. The simplifications achieved in the present derivation do not seem to result in a loss of rigor, and they do not require the introduction of essentially new assumptions.
"Meta" Relativity30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941773View Description Hide Description
In pre-relativity times, Thomson, Heaviside, and Sommerfeld, among others, had examined questions arising from the assumption that a particle may move faster than the velocity of light in vacuo. Such a hypothesis is reexamined in the framework of classical (nonquantum) theory of special relativity.
Construction and Use of a Fabry-Perot Interferometer30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941774View Description Hide Description
The construction of a student-laboratory, Fabry-Perot interferometer is described, together with its use in three experiments. The first is a basic experiment for making some optical measurements. The second uses the interferometer to measure the index of refraction of a gas, and the third uses it to observe the Zeeman effect.
Electron Levels, Electrochemical Effects, and Thermoelectricity30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941775View Description Hide Description
The concepts of cavity potential (electrostatic potential in a cavity in a conductor) and Fermi potential (energy per unit charge for an electron at the Fermi level) are defined and used to discuss the work function,contact potentials, Ohm's law, electrode-solution equilibria, and chemical emf's. With the introduction of the entropy transport per unit charge for electrons in a metal (S*), the Seebeck, Peltier, and Thomson effects are elucidated, and the fact that no emf exists at a thermal junction is made clear. Certain other common confusions are cleared up. It is suggested that use of this conceptual scheme will allow the basic physics of these important processes to be taught effectively in general physics courses.
Apparatus Drawings Project. Report Number 30A. A Versatile RC-Filtered Low-Voltage Power Supply and a Calibrated Direct-Coupled Amplifier30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941776View Description Hide Description
A versatile RC-filtered power supply and a calibrated direct-coupled amplifier are described. The power supply furnishes operating power to various electronic devices developed for two large introductory laboratories. It provides about 250 V dc at its rated output of 70 mA, and 2.5 A at 6.3 V ac. The direct-coupled amplifier has 6 output ranges, from 0.5 to 150 V full scale. Its normal input resistance is 22 MΩ, with stable operation at input resistances of 125 MΩ being practical. Output is displayed on an external 100-μA meter. The method of achieving calibration accuracies of ±2% or better, using ±10% tolerance carbonresistors is described. Both instruments are stable and extremely reliable, requiring only standard commercial components and conventional tools and techniques for construction. The cost for parts is $16.26 and $22.05, respectively. The article contains full information regarding construction.
Some Aspects of Physics Research in non-Ph.D. Granting Institutions30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941777View Description Hide Description
More than 265 physics departments that offer an undergraduate physics major but do not have a Ph.D.-level graduate program submitted answers, at the request of the Commission on College Physics, to a general questionnaire dealing with departmental programs and practices. The section of the survey concerned with research in these departments is summarized in this report.
Mechanical Conservation Laws and the Physical Properties of Groups of Motions in Flat and Curved Space-Times30(1962); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.1941778View Description Hide Description
The intimate relation of symmetry properties describable by groups of motions and the consequent conservation laws realizable for a particle in classical mechanics and in the mechanics of restricted and general theories of relativity are discussed in detail using elementary results of the theory of continuous groups. In addition, for the case of special relativistic mechanics the finite form of the groups of motions, underlying all of the possible constants of the motion of the form of first integrals linear in the momenta, are constructed and shown to be the inhomogeneous (i.e., including displacements) proper Lorentz transformations.

I have a few Activities implement an Interface ( called NetworkListener). When requesting information from a remote server, they spawn an instance of a class (called NetworkRequest). NetworkRequest is a threaded class that sends requests to the server, waits for the response and sends it back to the requesting NetworkListener object. It could take up to 10 seconds to return data back to the NetworkListener instance. During that time, it is quite possible that that Activity or Fragment no longer exists, and a lot of the actions based on the server call are no longer valid and will throw NPEs, such as:
((TextView) findViewById(R.id.server_status)).setText("Server response: " + response.getMsg());
What's the best way to ensure that the requesting class is still alive and able to update UI?
Currently at the top of every method that receives calls back from the server I have:
if (getWindow() == null) { // or getView()/getActivity() if Fragment
This seems inefficient and redundant. Is there a better method to what I'm trying to accomplish?

School's Insurer Raises Premium
June 5, 1986
By Robin Kish, Special to The Inquirer
The Woodbury Heights Board of Education on Tuesday announced a $2,080 increase in the cost of its excess-liability insurance policy and said that it would go shopping for lower rates with the New Jersey School Board Association Insurance Board. But the school board indicated that it did not expect to maintain its $2 million in coverage at the old rate of $800 a year, and that taxpayers ultimately would have to pay more to provide insurance coverage for the staff of Woodbury Heights Elementary School and for the school board.
New Kia Sorento is premium
December 29, 2014
By Al Haas, For The Inquirer
The words bold and premium have attained prominent places in autodom's marketing mantra. Wherever you turn, there's an emphasis on bold exteriors and premium interiors. At the moment, Toyota is running a big ad campaign that extols the bold persona of the new Camry. Nissan is underscoring for car writers the more premium nature of the new Murano crossover's cabin. Not to be outdone, Kia keyed on both qualities when it showed its redesigned 2016 Sorento crossover at a recent press introduction.
Don't just grab lowest premium
November 30, 2015
By Robert Calandra, For The Inquirer
If you're in the individual market for health insurance and want to be covered by New Year's Day, you have until Dec. 15 to choose your plan on the Affordable Care Act exchange. Choosing a health plan is confusing, so it's understandable if you're tempted to just grab the lowest premium you can find. But don't do it. Depending on your family's income and health needs, you could come out ahead with a plan that has a higher monthly premium but that offers better coverage. That's why it's worth going over the last year's medical expenses, looking for items likely to come up again, such as prescriptions for chronic conditions.
Buyer beware of no, low premiums
November 10, 2013
By Robert Calandra, For The Inquirer
Some people - likely those close to the federal poverty level - will be able to find insurance plans on the Affordable Care Act marketplace that are free. That's because subsidies help cover the costs, and they rise for poorer applicants. As many as 715,000 Pennsylvanians - or more than half of commonwealth residents shopping for insurance on the marketplace - are eligible for subsidies, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation report. But navigators, insurers, and industry analysts are urging people to consider their overall needs carefully before choosing a plan and not to be seduced by the idea of no or very low monthly premiums.
Report: Premium hikes for top Medicare drug plans
September 27, 2012
By Ricardo Alonso-Zaldivar, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Millions of seniors enrolled in some of the most popular Medicare prescription drug plans face double-digit premium hikes next year if they don't shop for a better deal, says a private firm that analyzes the highly competitive market. Seven of the top 10 prescription plans are raising their premiums by 11 percent to 23 percent, according to a report this week by Avalere Health. It's a reality check on a stream of upbeat Medicare announcements from the Obama administration, all against the backdrop of a hard-fought election.

Don't base your selection only on premium price
October 13, 2013
By Robert Calandra, For The Inquirer
Everyone was asking about premiums in the months before the rollout of the Affordable Care Act. But many people are mistaken if they think the premium represents the bottom-line cost of health insurance. It doesn't. Yes, the premium price is key. But it shouldn't necessarily be the decisive factor when shopping in the new marketplace. To find the real annual cost, add up the out-of-pocket costs, drug selection, and other parts of the drug benefit. "People should not be making decisions to buy a plan based on premiums alone," said Larry Levitt, senior vice president of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a health-policy research and communication group.
Jeff Gelles: Consumer alert: Allstate seeks premium hike
September 25, 2011
By Jeff Gelles, Inquirer Columnist
If you're a Pennsylvania resident with Allstate Property & Casualty homeowners insurance, you may face an unpleasant surprise this fall: a sizable boost in your insurance premium. You can just suck it up - as Allstate undoubtedly expects most policyholders to do - or you can use it as a goad to do something you may find nearly as unpleasant: shop around for alternatives. It shouldn't have to be, as I'll explain. But first, a look at what's happening with Allstate. Citing what a spokeswoman calls "an unprecedented year with weather in Pennsylvania," Allstate has asked state officials to approve a plan that would raise premiums an average of 20 percent for the company's 195,000 policyholders - more than twice as steep an increase as sought by any other large insurer during the last six months, according to filings published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
Subaru's twin goals: Quantity and quality Subaru tries to hike sales as it joins premium group Automaker wants to join premium-car brands.

By Harold Brubaker INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
Subaru has long had a reputation in this country for selling rugged all-wheel-drive vehicles popular with outdoors types. Now, the Japanese carmaker's parent, Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd., wants to raise Subaru's image into the realm of premium-car brands - such as Audi, Volvo and Saab - without alienating loyal customers. Industry analysts said Subaru, which has its U.S. headquarters in Cherry Hill, was following a trend among automakers with middle-market brands. The goal is to charge more and increase profitability.
Lottery makes premium 'Book of Mormon' tickets available - and extremely inexpensive

Well, how does $27 sound? That's right, $27. Total. Heck, that's usually what you fork over for the laughably larcenous "fees" that are usually extorted from live entertainment consumers by ticketing agencies. And, no, they aren't counterfeit.

Swiss insurer pays a premium price for 2.0 University Place
April 21, 2016
By Jacob Adelman, Staff Writer
Swiss insurer Zurich Insurance Group has acquired the 2.0 University Place office building near 41st and Market Streets for $420 a square foot - among the city's highest purchase prices ever for a commercial property. Zurich paid $41.3 million Tuesday for the five-story building in a deal that also commits the company to completing up to $1.8 million in interior construction work, developer Scott Mazo said. Mazo invested $31 million in the 98,000-square-foot eco-friendly office project at the largely untested western edge of Philadelphia's University City neighborhood.
Letter: Must lower health-insurance premiums
March 19, 2016
ISSUE | HEALTH CARE Premium shock I have seen increases in health-insurance premiums and deductibles for my family. I have no idea why there was a huge increase over last year's rates ("In Pa. and N.J., Affordable Care Act is anything but," Monday). Certainly the old method of "let the insurance companies decide" didn't work. Now the Affordable Care Act isn't working. Is "Medicare for all" worth a try? |Diane Doyle, Quakertown, email@example.com
Don't just grab lowest premium
November 30, 2015
By Robert Calandra, For The Inquirer
If you're in the individual market for health insurance and want to be covered by New Year's Day, you have until Dec. 15 to choose your plan on the Affordable Care Act exchange. Choosing a health plan is confusing, so it's understandable if you're tempted to just grab the lowest premium you can find. But don't do it. Depending on your family's income and health needs, you could come out ahead with a plan that has a higher monthly premium but that offers better coverage. That's why it's worth going over the last year's medical expenses, looking for items likely to come up again, such as prescriptions for chronic conditions.
Longer life spans, working lives put premium on planning
October 25, 2015
If 80 is the new 60, then what will retirement look like in the future? As we live longer, the definition of old is changing. Americans generally feel that for their parents' generation, 62 was the age when someone became old, as it was also close to traditional retirement age. A September 2013 UBS Investor Watch report (the company tackles different topics every quarter), based on a survey of 2,319 U.S. investors with at least $250,000 in investable assets, found that only 31 percent of respondents in their 60s and 47 percent of respondents in their 70s said they felt old, while 77 percent of those in their 80s did. Social Security's latest data tend to back this up. According to its 2014 Trustees Report, even the average 65-year-old can expect to live 20 more years.
Driver's Seat: QX70 a nice ride if you're in front seats
October 5, 2015
By Scott Sturgis, For The Inquirer
2016 Infiniti QX70 AWD: Fun on all fours. Price: $59,630 as tested ($47,300 base trim level). A technology package added $2,950 to the price, which covered all of the lane-departure and collision-prevention bases. More options are discussed further down. Marketer's pitch: "Intensify the feeling of performance. " Conventional wisdom: Edmunds.com liked the "sporty performance; luxurious interior; abundant standard features; easy-to-use electronics interface; distinctive style" but not the "modest rear passenger and cargo space; restrictive options packages; firm ride.
Premium digs for discount retailer
September 12, 2015
By Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer
The new two-story Five Below store on 1529 Chestnut St. marks a milestone for the fastest-growing discount teen retailer in the nation. Its arrival on Chestnut Street - in the old Arcadia Theatre - also continues the corridor's hot streak as a magnet for national retailers, a drastic change from just two years ago. "This is our baby, for sure," said Five Below CEO Joel Anderson, as he took a sweeping glance of the store known for its shock of...
Inside the Phillies: Alfaro's bat could dictate verdict on trade
August 3, 2015
By Jake Kaplan, Inquirer Staff Writer
Offense is at a premium in baseball. That is why the Phillies could not acquire Joey Gallo or Nomar Mazara from the Texas Rangers in last week's Cole Hamels blockbuster, and why they were never going to get Mookie Betts or Blake Swihart from the Boston Red Sox, Corey Seager from the Los Angeles Dodgers, or Kyle Schwarber from the Chicago Cubs. It's far from a coincidence that 10 of the 12 minor-leaguers the Phillies acquired in their six trades since December are pitchers. In the sport's current landscape, teams are reluctant to part with premium position-player prospects, especially those boasting rarely seen power such as the 21-year-old Gallo.
Finishing touches being put on Gloucester Premium Outlets
July 16, 2015
By Suzette Parmley, Inquirer Staff Writer
The morning rain that turned piles of dirt into mud hardly fazed about 300 construction workers who went about their jobs to get Gloucester Township's biggest economic development done in time for an Aug. 13 opening. Simon Property Group, the nation's largest owner of outlet malls, sponsored a hard-hat tour Tuesday to show off the final phase of construction for Gloucester Premium Outlets at Gloucester Township, just off Route 42, Exit 7B. The last 26 of 90 retailers were also unveiled.
Scramble for jobs at new Gloucester Premium Outlets
June 14, 2015
By Angelo Fichera, Inquirer Staff Writer
Like the scene at a mall on the day of a door-buster sale, scores of hopeful job-seekers thronged a job fair Friday in pursuit of work at the new Gloucester Premium Outlets in Blackwood, set to open in August. Before the event at Camden County College in Blackwood began at 10 a.m., hundreds had already shown up. Many brought resumés and a willingness to accept any of the 800 positions available at the 90-store center. "I think it's a positive day," said Precious Jemibewon, 29, of Sicklerville, who has been out of work since a car accident in December.

Tune into your heart's breath.
Take a comfortable seat, sitting or lying on the floor. Place your left hand on your heart and the right hand on your belly. Now breathe. Listen to the steadiness of your heart and feel how the breath moves from the outside in and the inside out.
Listen with your inner ear to the sound of rain. Hear its patter comfort with its steady flow and rhythm. Feel how it feeds the grass, trees and flowers and let this feeling feed you. Let the wetness move into your heart and wash it with the joy of giving life. Remember you give yourself your life.
Let's take life and wrap it in silk. Let its softness smooth the edges around your mind and keep feeling your heart's beat. The ta-dum rocks the moment, brings you closer to now. Let the mystery that life is hide within the silk and remember all you need rests under the palm of your hand resting on your heart. This life is yours and holds possibility with the hand on your belly moving with each breath.
Inhale calm, exhale peace. Inhale silk, exhale mystery. Inhale rain, exhale green.
Keep breath moving. Know its movement brings stillness closer. Remember the smell of green after a summer rain. Imagine the damp grass under your feet, comforting your soles, caressing your toes.
Know hope rests in every step. Know you can take the seeds in your heart and spread its joy the way a bee spreads pollen. Know the honey is the promise of all the work; the sticky elixir that can feed many. Know the blooms live because of the bees and the bees live for the blooms. Know the sun and rain balance life with earth. Remember the moon even in daylight keeps her watchful eye and protects the night.
Return to the heart. Feel her truth under your palm. Know the heart cannot lie. Listen to her truth. Let her lead you in breath, feeling, thinking. She is a crystal when we listen and a swamp when we don't. Feel the crystal's energy. Pull out of the muck and mud. Observe mind. Mind with heart knows wisdom. Let the wisdom's prism give you truth's many colors and shades. Like a rainbow truth gives vision hope after a storm. Like a rainbow truth knows light gives us many windows to find meaning.
Return to the breath, the belly, the heart. Listen in. Deep belly breaths. Feel your heart. Know its rhythm. Know your truth cannot lie. Truth can hold you when life falters and the ground shifts. Be steady with the heartbeat. Now let your heart grow wings of faith and carry you up toward the clouds and moon, and see earth, your life, from above…gain insight. Float. Go as high as you like, past the stars, into the ether where time becomes a matter we cannot name. Find the home that held you before you found life. Find the home that holds your spirit when the body ends. Simply be the light.
Breathe in. Breathe out. Belly rise. Belly fall. Lengthen your exhales and with each falling breath find your way back to earth, back to the body, to the heart. Stay here as long as you like or whenever you are ready caress the fingers, wriggle the ankles, wrists, fingers and toes…nod you head side to side, stretch your arms, and find your way into the present.

A decent buy
I bought this product after lots of online searches and reading hundreds of reviews. I have been using this product for the past 2 weeks and really loved this one. My skin is very sensitive and get break outs with new products. But this product didnt cause any break outs. My skin was dull and have pigmentation spots. The cream has helped me with the dullness and skin looks very healthy. But it has not helped with the pigmentation. There was a visible reduction in my pores also.I would again be buying the product.

Bank of America said Wednesday that it narrowly turned a profit from July through September, good enough to beat Wall Street expectations.
The bank earned $340 million in the most recent quarter, which works out to a fraction of a penny per share. Financial analysts expected an 11-cent loss, according to a poll by FactSet, a data provider.
Profits were hurt largely because of a settlement with shareholders who accused the bank of misleading them when it decided in 2008 to purchase Merrill Lynch. The bank took a $1.6 billion charge to help pay for the settlement.
Profits were also hurt by a controversial accounting rule that eats into bank profits when the value of their corporate debt rises because the bank would have to pay more to buy back that debt on the open market.
Critics say the rule is confusing and punishes banks for success, and it could be phased out next year. The accounting rule forced Bank of America to take a $1.9 billion charge in the quarter.
Without those special items, revenue was essentially flat at $22.5 billion, beating the expected $21.9 billion.
It's difficult to compare the results to those from the third quarter of 2011, because that period was also riddled with one-time gains and losses.
The bank made $6.2 billion then, which makes it look like the profits this quarter plunged. But the profit a year ago was driven by a gain from the accounting law and the bank's sale of part of its investment in a Chinese bank.
But by other measurements, that was a poor quarter for the bank. Investors were fleeing the stock market, unnerved by a downgrade of the U.S. government's debt and a congressional standoff over the national budget.
CEO Brian Moynihan is trimming Bank of America, a departure from his empire-building predecessors, and working through problem mortgage loans that the bank inherited when it bought Countrywide in 2008, before Moynihan was CEO.
"Our strategy," he said in a statement, "is taking hold even as we work through a challenging economy and continue to clean up legacy issues."
He noted that deposits, mortgage originations and small business lending all rose: "We are doing more business with our customers and clients."
Bank of America is also, like many of its peers, cutting jobs and expenses to weather an uncertain economy. The bank shed more than 16,100 jobs from a year ago, or about 6 percent of its work force.
The decrease would have been greater if the bank hadn't added extra employees to work through troubled mortgage loans. The bank also trimmed spending on occupancy, equipment, marketing and other expenses.
Bank of America stock was up 2 cents at $9.48 in premarket trading.

Telefonica and Brocade Establish Benchmarks for NFV Deployment and Performance in Joint Reference Lab Tests
(ENP Newswire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) ENP Newswire - 21 August 2014 Release date- 20082014 - SAN JOSE, CA - Telefonica (NYSE: TEF) and Brocade (NASDAQ: BRCD) have partnered to establish new benchmarks for the deployment and performance of Network Functions Virtualization solutions.
The consistent results from testing have provided clear evidence that will fundamentally alter the performance range service providers can expect from virtualized, software-based networking infrastructure. The establishment of NFV benchmarks is part of a joint effort by both companies within the Telefonica NFV Reference Lab framework.
'The promise of NFV is rapid service creation and highly elastic scalability. While virtualization is significant to achieving this agility, it has historically been the fundamental limiter to the kind of performance required for scalability,' said Enrique Algaba, Network Innovation and Virtualization Director at Telefonica.
In the tests performed by Telefonica, the Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter achieved 80 Gbps on a Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Intel-based x86 server. Deployed within a Red Hat KVM environment, the Brocade Vyatta 5600 was deployed as a single Virtual Machine (VM) and supported all of the server's available ports at line rate.
'In less than two hours, we deployed the Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter from a memory stick and completed our performance tests in our NFV Reference Lab. These results are allowing us, as network operators, to aggressively change our perspective regarding what is possible with software-driven networking in order to accelerate the adoption and deployment of these revolutionary technologies,' said Francisco-Javier Ramon, Head of Telefonica NFV Reference Lab.
In addition to Brocade vPlane technology, the Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter takes advantage of Intel Xeon processor-based servers and the IntelData Plane Development Kit to achieve the performance required by the world's largest telecommunication and service providers.
'Intel is committed to bringing Moore's Law to networking and enabling a broad SDN/NFV ecosystem based on open source and standard solutions,' said John Healy, General Manager of Intel's Software Defined Networking Division. 'The Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter is a great example of performance leadership and innovation developed on Intel Architecture and the Intel Data Plane Development Kit. We are excited to work with leaders such as Brocade to advance virtual networking performance and fuel the NFV market with compelling solutions.' Released in early 2014, the Brocade Vyatta 5600 is the first purpose-built NFV solution to address the demands of the world's largest service providers. Featuring advanced routing, firewall, and VPN functionality, it is a core component at the Network Services Layer of the Brocade Vyatta Platform.
'The Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter has removed the performance barrier from the NFV adoption conversation and our focus is now on expanding its capabilities for broadest possible leverage across the service provider network,' said Kelly Herrell, VP and GM of Software Networking at Brocade. 'We continue to accelerate our aggressive investment in modern software to bring high-value technology disruptions across a wide range of networking capabilities.' Furthering Brocade's commitment to NFV and accelerating its rollout within carrier networks, an upcoming update to the Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter will further advance the NFV solution's capabilities. Among the range of new features are: Layer 3 MPLS Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol Version 3 (L2TPv3) High-availability enhancements to support IPv6 OpenDaylight integration through NETCONF/YANG 'With these capabilities, the Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter is capable of extending to and becoming the provider edge for carrier networks,' Herrell said. 'These improvements will enable service providers to deploy NFV to existing and new customers quicker and more efficiently.' The update to the Brocade Vyatta 5600 vRouter is expected to be available in early 2015. A separate license will be required for the MPLS functionality. Other unicast routing features will be delivered as standard software updates. For more information on Brocade SDN and NFV products, visit www.brocade.com/NFV.

New governance practices associated with the modernization of health systems within Europe focus on equipping health consumers with more information and power in their interactions with clinicians. This article uses material on health care reform in Britain and Germany to highlight ways in which consumerism is refracted through different institutional histories and current political projects. These give rise to different inflections on the meaning of consumerism, including the different associations of 'choice', and to different forms of consumer involvement as 'stakeholders' in health care systems.

Development Securities to Buy Property as Owners Face Pressure
Development Securities Plc, the builder of London's Paddington Central business center, plans to spend about 100 million pounds ($161 million) buying property by August as debt pressures owners to sell cheaply.
The company spent 234 million pounds in the past 18 months and may purchase six sites by the summer, Chief Executive Officer Michael Marx said in an interview in Cannes, France. Development Securities is bidding for a mixed-use site valued at 50 million pounds in west London, he said. The deal should be completed by the end of April and will include about 50 apartments as well as shops, Marx said.
Development Securities has raised about 200 million pounds in two share sales since July 2009 to buy discounted real estate. The company may dispose of assets in the second half to realize gains from renovating its properties. No further share sale is planned, the CEO said.
Marx said he plans to work with companies that are under pressure to repay debt and need help upgrading their holdings into prime real estate.
"We're trying to turn frogs into diamonds," he said.
Development Securities aims to sell acquired properties to within two to three years of purchase to institutional investors attracted by the steady returns of property rents, the CEO said.
There are "unprecedented," opportunities now because the limited availability of bank finance is forcing owners to offer properties at attractive prices, Marx said. Returns generated by acquisitions will outweigh the dilution of share value caused by selling the new stock, he said.

about this post:
is it possible to increase the width of the image?
Sara Caselli
Hi Sara, try changing the Large size under Settings > Media to 1272 pixels? That's the largest image it can accommodate, as you can see on the theme information page.
After doing that, could you please re-upload and re-insert your image.
Let me know how it goes.
Hi Kathryn,
about the same image:
I saw the largest image in a post "standard",
see: http://18.104.22.168/size-image/
I saw the largest image in a post "video",
see: http://22.214.171.124/image-size-in-post-video/
so i suppose is it possible to increase the image also in a post "standard",
but probably I'm wrong!:)
Thank for you the help and patience,
Sara Caselli
Hi Sara, one of our theme developers took a look at this.
The maximum width of an image on the standard post type in Ryu is 696px pixels wide, and changing this would require major customization work on the whole theme. If that's something you really needed to do, you might consider hiring a theme developer to assist with this work.
As an alternative, you could try using a featured image on the post instead, which would allow an image of up to 1128px wide.. The effect would be something like this example:

Medicare Part D Formularies:
CMS Conducts Oversight of Mid-Year Changes; Most Mid-Year Changes Were Enhancements
GAO-11-366R: Published: Jun 30, 2011. Publicly Released: Aug 1, 2011.
Additional Materials:

The Medicare voluntary outpatient prescription drug insurance program, known as Medicare Part D, provided prescription drug coverage for about 23 million beneficiaries--eligible individuals 65 years and older and eligible individuals with disabilities--enrolled in the program in 2010. Under Part D, Medicare beneficiaries may enroll in prescription drug plans offered by private companies, known as sponsors, that contract with the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency that administers the Medicare program. Sponsors may have multiple contracts with CMS to provide drug coverage, with each contract offering one or more distinct Part D plans. Sponsors compete for beneficiary enrollment on the basis of plan premiums and benefit designs. Sponsors also vary in the content of their formularies--the list of covered drugs and associated utilization management (UM) requirements. UM requirements include (1) step therapy, which requires that a beneficiary try lower-cost drugs before a sponsor will cover a more costly drug; (2) prior authorization, which requires a beneficiary to obtain the sponsor's approval before a drug is covered for that individual; and (3) quantity limits, which restrict the dosage or number of units of a drug provided within a certain period of time. Sponsors may design their plans to use the same or different formularies. Sponsors may use their formulary structures to manage beneficiaries' drug spending and utilization, however, sponsors must adhere to a minimum set of formulary requirements established in statute and regulation. In its administration of Part D, CMS is responsible for implementing program requirements and overseeing sponsors' compliance with these requirements. To do so, CMS issued regulations and program guidance addressing classes of drugs that must be covered on sponsors' plan formularies, classes of drugs that may not be covered by Part D, UM program requirements, and annual formulary submission time lines. Medicare beneficiaries may choose to enroll in plans based, in part, on the formularies that sponsors establish for their plans at the beginning of each year. With few exceptions, once beneficiaries enroll in a sponsor's plan, they may not change plans until the next year. However, sponsors may make certain changes to their plans' formularies during the year, known as mid-year formulary changes, provided that their plans' formularies continue to meet certain minimum Part D formulary requirements including those that apply to mid-year changes. Mid-year formulary changes may enhance Part D formularies by adding drugs or removing or loosening UM requirements for drugs, or may restrict formularies by removing drugs or tightening UM requirements for drugs. Mid-year changes affect sponsors' plan formularies and may disrupt beneficiaries' access to certain prescription drugs or make them responsible for new or unexpected costs. Congress asked us to review mid-year formulary changes in the context of CMS's oversight and the potential effect of mid-year changes on beneficiaries. In this report, we describe (1) the actions CMS has taken to oversee sponsors' compliance with mid-year formulary change requirements; and (2) the mid-year formulary changes sponsors made for their plans in 2008 and 2009 and how many beneficiaries filled a prescription for a drug later affected by a negative mid-year formulary change in 2008.
CMS monitors--directly examines--certain requests for mid-year formulary changes prior to their implementation to ensure that formularies meet requirements including mid-year change requirements. CMS also conducts retrospective oversight activities of sponsors' compliance with mid-year formulary change requirements. Specifically, CMS monitors agency data; conducts discussions with trade groups, advocates, and other patient representatives; and conducts targeted audit activities. Our analysis of mid-year formulary changes in 2008 and 2009 indicated that sponsors implemented multiple mid-year changes for almost all plans in those years. Formulary enhancements, which added a drug to the formulary or removed or loosened restrictions on a drug, accounted for 87.4 percent of changes in 2008 and 88.6 percent in 2009. Negative changes, such as removing a drug from a formulary, accounted for 12.6 percent of changes in 2008 and 11.4 percent in 2009. In addition, we found that in 2008 about 5 percent of beneficiaries (over 1.1 million beneficiaries) filled a prescription for a drug that was later affected by a negative mid-year change.

Just as at any hot party, the door was chaotic. Security and publicists played the fire marshal card an hour into the fete, claiming the crowd was at capacity.

I've read a few articles today about the A.J. Green situation that have left me scratching my head, particularly this one from Tony Barnhardt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. I don't frequent the Georgia blogs or message boards, so I can't honestly tell you what side the majority of fans are taking on the issue. But of the few columns I have read, the writers seem to come down soft on the one person who could have prevented this whole situation:
A.J. Green.
Green's statement said something about a "mistake in judgment" he made.
Translation: I knew it was wrong, I did it anyway.
Now tell me, why WOULDN'T you be mad at him if you're a Georgia fan? He sold his jersey for $1000 to a guy who might or might not be an agent, knowing it could get him and the university in trouble. That's not a mistake in judgment, that's blatant disregard for the rules that are constantly hammered into these athletes not to break.
It is certainly well within everyone's right to demonize the NCAA – been there, done that, sold the game-worn jersey – but until someone comes up with a fair and equitable way to pay college athletes for their services, those athletes need to play by the rules, or be prepared to suffer the consequences.
And while we're on the subject, has anyone actually come up with an idea for a fair and equitable way to pay college athletes? Should they pay just the revenue generators? Would the money be split evenly among the entire team? Just the scholarship players? Would the fourth-teamers get the same amount as the first-teamers? What if 5000 Alshon Jeffery jerseys sell, but zero Rokevious Watkins jerseys sell? Does Alshon get a cut of that and Rok not? What about FCS schools? Do the same rules and payment schedules apply to them?
When somebody can piece that together along with the thousands of other questions that would be raised, then we can talk. Until then, let's hope the kids do the best they can with their scholarship that is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Yes, to some degree I would agree these kids are "used". They work hard, more is expected of them than a typical college student, and millions could potentially be made off their likeness over four years without them ever seeing a red cent.
That said, put me in a time machine today, take me back 22 years, and give me a football scholarship to the University of South Carolina. Sell my posters, jersey, signature, and use my likeness anywhere you see fit. I don't want anything in return but to be able to run through that tunnel and play football on Saturdays.
But that's just me.

Acker Bilk
Bernard Stanley Bilk, 28 January 1929, Pensford, Somerset, England. A self-taught clarinettist, Bilk made his first public appearance in 1947 while on National Service in Egypt. On his return to the UK, he played as a semi-professional around the Bristol area, before gaining his big break with the Ken Colyer band in 1954. Four years later, under the name Mr Acker Bilk, he enjoyed his first UK Top 10 hit with Summer Set. Backed by the Paramount Jazz Band, and promoted by his Bilk Marketing Board, he was at the forefront of the British traditional jazz boom of the early 60s. With their distinctive uniform of bowler hats and striped waistcoats, Bilk and company enjoyed a number of jazzy UK hits in the 60s, including White Cliffs Of Dover, Buona Sera, Thats My Home, Stars And Stripes Forever, Frankie And Johnny, Gotta See Baby Tonight, and A Taste Of...
