HACKENSACK, N.J., May 22, 2012 (BUSINESS WIRE) ? Vidyo, Inc., the world?s fastest-growing video conferencing company, today announced that Juniper Networks, the industry leader in network innovation, is joining as a strategic investor through its Junos(R) Innovation Fund, alongside lead investor QuestMark Partners and other existing investors Menlo Ventures, Rho Ventures, Star Ventures, and Four Rivers Group. Though terms of the investment were not disclosed, Vidyo announced in September 2011 that it had raised $97M to accelerate its growth. The investment from Juniper Networks enables Vidyo to increase its go-to-market activities and integrate its video conferencing products with Juniper?s numerous offerings.

According to numerous analysts, Vidyo is disrupting innovation in the video communications and collaboration market, driving the industry forward with its paradigm-shifting platform. Vidyo delivers telepresence-quality conferencing to more than 1850 enterprise, healthcare, education, and government customers. Juniper Networks is leading the charge to architecting the new network based on a unique single architecture and single operating system, Junos(R), that ensures performance, reliability and security without compromise and at the scale customers demand.

?As the use of video in the enterprise and on end devices continues to expand, our customers are seeking new ways to improve video delivery,? said Jeff Lipton, vice president, Venture and Strategic Investments, Juniper Networks. ?Vidyo is an emerging player that is driving innovation in software-based videoconferencing, and we believe its leading technology will improve the experience and economics of video communications alongside advances in networking technologies.?

?Juniper Networks? strategic investment in Vidyo is a solid endorsement of our vision and a recognition of how rapidly the videoconferencing market is expected to grow in the near future; Infonetics Research states the market will reach a cumulative $22 billion over the next 5 years,? said Ofer Shapiro, Vidyo?s co-founder and CEO. ?We see Juniper as a kindred spirit, itself a pioneer in its industry, having revolutionized networking for over 16 years. Their investment validates the approach we have taken to successfully create new video conferencing markets and deliver superior value, accessibility and scalability to our customers and partners. We are extremely honored that such a world-renowned leader recognizes the unique strengths and proven abilities of Vidyo that are driving the video communications industry forward.?

The Vidyo Difference

The Vidyo communication and collaboration platform is software-based, highly flexible and can be easily customized for individual enterprise and vertical market video conferencing needs. The patented VidyoRouter(TM) architecture introduces Adaptive Video Layering(TM), which dynamically optimizes the video for each endpoint leveraging H.264 Scalable Video Coding (SVC)-based compression technology and Vidyo?s IP. Adaptive Video Layering eliminates the MCU and offers unprecedented error resiliency, low latency rate matching thus enabling natural, affordable, high-quality video to work over the Internet, LTE and 4G networks. The Vidyo platform allows users to quickly leverage the latest hardware innovations, new consumer devices and partner applications that utilize Vidyo?s APIs, such as those that result from the recently announced relationships with Philips and AMD in the Healthcare industry. Vidyo has been active driving H.264 SVC and SIP videoconferencing interoperability in various standards bodies since 2005.

Downhill After 70?

Beating all odds, I?m setting new fitness goals in my 70s. I no longer need assistance in walking and am able to walk more than a mile. I am preparing to start biking again. My new abilities are the benefits from doing physical therapy. National parks, here I come.

When I was in my 60s, I lived with chronic and debilitating illness. Using a walker and an electric scooter for going distances, I was sinking into depression. In searching the net, I came across articles supporting the use of physical therapy in regaining strength and stamina. Even found an article which suggests physical therapy may retrain neurons which could be helpful in my situation.

At my request, my physician wholeheartedly agreed to order physical therapy, which turned out to be a God-send. I regained walking (at first short distances), good posture, upper body strength, good range of motion and improved mental health.

I graduated to a maintenance program (out-of-pocket expense) which carried me forward until I became the caregiver for my husband who was diagnosed with brain cancer. The worst thing I did was to discontinue my fitness program. During my husband?s last three months, I became ill and was hospitalized. Physically, I still had good posture, but I was losing my range of motion and my balance had become poor. My strength and stamina were gone. I was frail. Walking was not something I wanted to do and further my balance made walking problematic.

I knew from experience that I must do physical therapy, that it would be a life extender, mood picker-upper, and greatly improve my quality of life even with my husband?s dying. I began physical therapy when I was released from the hospital. My husband died a couple of months later.

My husband has been gone now for nine months and once again I?ve graduated to a physical therapy maintenance program. I?m walking unassisted, have regained excellent balance, and I?m coming out of retirement to start a new career. Did I say that I?m in my 70s?

With the guidance of my physical therapist, these are my fitness goals:
1. Walk 4 miles. I want to hike and be able to walk the national and state parks.
2. Lift and move 50 lbs. Gee, I could rearrange furniture, pack my car for trips.
3. Bike for 10+ miles. There is a 10 mile flat terrain bike trail in Coeur d?Aelene, Idaho that I have my eye on.

I?m off to purchase a refurbished bike with raised handle bars. It probably will be a cruiser since I never managed hand brakes or gears. Maybe I can learn the new technology of bicycles.

You too can become fit when you?re over 70. Check with your health care professional regarding the pros and cons for going into physical therapy. The benefits are good mental health, involvement with life, and you may even be able to hike the national parks with your family. You?re not too old.

Thats larger than most US collateral and Treasury markets put together!

As opposed to other markets that will operate with a central location (i.elizabeth. stock market), the worldwide Forex market does not have any convenient location. It is just a worldwide electric circle involving banks, financial institutions as well as particular person merchants, all active in the buying and selling regarding national foreign currencies. Yet another major feature in the Currency markets is it functions Round the clock, akin to the opening and closing of monetary stores in countries all around the globe, commencing daily inside Modern australia, after that Tokyo, Manchester as well as The big apple.

Venus wins on return to Grand Slam tennis

PARIS (AP) ? Just playing at this year's French Open was an accomplishment for Venus Williams. Winning was a bonus.

Williams played at a major tournament for the first time since last August, when she withdrew before her second-round match at the U.S. Open. It was then that she revealed that she had been diagnosed with Sjogren's syndrome, a condition that can cause fatigue and joint pain.

It didn't slow her down in the last two sets Sunday. The seven-time Grand Slam champion recovered from a poor start and beat 19-year-old Paula Ormaechea of Argentina 4-6, 6-1, 6-3 to reach the second round.

"I just learned how to live with this. It's different. I have a lot to learn still," Williams said. "I learned how to just ? just learning. So I think that's my biggest challenge. I learn a lot every week, especially having to play a professional sport.

"So that's a challenge, just learning to live."

Williams was one of six major champions that advanced on the opening day of the clay-court tournament. The only one that lost was Andy Roddick, the 2003 U.S. Open winner.

On Monday, top-ranked Novak Djokovic and 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer will be on court. In the women's draw, No. 1 Victoria Azarenka and defending champion Li Na are scheduled to play.

Williams was last up in the main stadium, Court Philippe Chatrier, and she didn't get off to a good start.

Although Williams is the one with the fast serve and the pounding groundstrokes, it was Ormaechea that was on the offensive. The strategy worked, for a while.

"She played super well the first set," Williams said. "I think she really did a lot of the right things, and I have to congratulate her on the first set, and thankfully the next two sets were better for me."

Still, Williams had trouble on her serve in the final set, getting broken twice while winning four times on Ormaechea's serve.

"I wasn't able to get a foothold," Williams said. "She had some good returns. And so I had to give those to her, but I felt like I was returning well finally in the third."

U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur and former French Open winners Svetlana Kuznetsova and Ana Ivanovic also advanced to the second round.

The sixth-seeded Stosur, who lost in the 2010 French Open final, was first up on Court Philippe Chatrier. She beat Elena Baltacha of Britain 6-4, 6-0.

"It's a bit of an early start, but always nice to get through it now," the Australian said. "You have the whole day and whatever else to recover and, yeah, enjoy."

Kuznetsova won the French Open title in 2009 and the U.S. Open in 2004 but is seeded No. 26 this year. She defeated Mirjana Lucic of Croatia 6-1, 6-3. Ivanovic, the 2008 champion at Roland Garros, beat Lara Arruabarrena-Vecino of Spain 6-1, 6-1.

For the men, 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro beat Albert Montanes 6-2, 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-1. The ninth-seeded Argentine played with tape on his knee early in the match, and then added a wrap after a massage from a trainer following the second set.

"It's a problem when you can't find your balance like you're used to, but I'll use these few days of rest to get better," Del Potro said. "If I go on the court, it's because I feel good. I want to continue playing."

Juan Carlos Ferrero, the 2003 French Open champion, beat Jonathan Dasnieres de Veigy of France 6-1, 6-4, 6-3. The 32-year-old Spaniard is one of 37 men in this year's draw that is 30 or older, an Open era record for Grand Slam tournaments.

"I saw myself in the mirror, and when I walk on the court I don't think about whether I'm younger or older. The only thing I try to do is play well," Ferrero said. "And I'm at Roland Garros, and the idea is to play well today."

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, the highest-seeded player in action on Sunday at No. 5, also advanced. The Frenchman defeated Andrey Kuznetsov of Russia 1-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4.

After Tsonga wrapped up his victory, it was time for Williams to get on court. And although she made it through to the next round, many are still wondering how long her game can last.

"Oh, I already know I can play. That's not a doubt," Williams said. "Everything else is up in the air."

What are the options for Prostate Cancer Surgery?

There are many medical terms that bring to mind powerful and negative emotions and this does not always have to be the case. With a little bit of research and understanding a person can come to realize that hearing the phrase: ?prostate cancer surgery? does not necessarily mean the end of the world is near. prostate cancer surgery is most often recommended for men when they have been diagnosed with what is commonly known as benign prostatic hyperplasia . In this occurrence of the ?enlarged prostate? it has become necessary to surgically intervene on behalf of Father Nature to remove excess tissue that has built up around the urethra. The prostate gland is an organ that continues to grow throughout a man?s lifetime but is expected to slow in growth around age 25. Most adult males will begin to show signs of benign prostatic hyperplasia trouble around age 50. A modern and less invasive form of treatment for such a condition is a laparoscopic prostatectomy . This procedure can often be done with minimal risk of damage to the male patient?s health and ego. To be perfectly clear this procedure is for removal of the prostate and represents a culmination of otherwise eliminated options. However, once the prostate is removed many patients experience a partial recovery within 24 hours and are able to return home from the hospital with a full recovery often being noted within 4 to 6 weeks post-operation.

The Variable Consequences of Debunking Family Myths ? The ...

I received this ferrotype when my maternal grandmother died. She always said it was of her grandparents, who had passed away before she was born. The stories she heard about them from relatives were thus linked in her mind with these images.

However, as my older brother began investigating our genealogy, the family story about this picture didn?t add up. The ferrotype technology was out of fashion in the era it was supposedly taken and the military uniform is of a Pennsylvania regiment in which my great-great-grandfather did not serve. Further spadework proved that the image is in fact a generation further back in our family tree than our grandmother knew. When she visualized her grandparents she was in fact relying on a picture of her great-grandparents.

I doubt it would have bothered her much to learn the truth. She?d have felt silly for a few minutes but then let it go. After all, she didn?t know them personally so it just isn?t that big of a deal.

The debunking of family myths is not always so benign. I had a colleague whose faith in his own family and in people in general was shattered when he learned that the woman he thought was his mother was in fact his maternal grandmother, the woman he grew up thinking was his older sister was in fact his mother and his ?uncle? on the other side was in fact his grandfather. The family had created a network of lies to cover up two scandals (an out of wedlock teen pregnancy and a military desertion). They fooled everyone for decades. Once my colleague found out the truth from his dying mother, he could never forget nor forgive the deceptions. He himself died, in his 80s, still bitter about the myths of his childhood.

In a less serious but still painful case, two women on Antiques Roadshow brought in for appraisal a violin that had been in their family for many years. The family story was that it was a Stradivarius, which the master craftsman had produced in honour of his beautiful new wife Faciebat Ano (Her name was even on the violin!). When the appraiser revealed that Faciebat Ano means ?Made in the Year? and the instrument was a cheap reproduction, their disappointment in the destruction of their family myth must have been accentuated by the humiliation of looking ignorant on national television.

My favorite family myth story concerned two women from Manchester. One of them in late life began digging into her family?s history and found that she had a distant cousin who was probably still living. She tried to track the cousin?s whereabouts and found that she resided only a few miles away! She introduced herself and the cousin was delighted. They found they had similar tastes and similar ideas and why shouldn?t they? They were family after all. Even their husbands got on well, to the point that the four of them dined and played bridge together regularly.

But then the woman who had originally discovered the connection realized that she had misunderstood a baptism certificate of an ancestor. When she corrected the resulting cascade of misinterpretations within her family tree, she realised that her ?distant cousin? wasn?t related to her at all. The friendship, despite being based on a fairy tale, endured. This makes me wonder: If everyone were deluded into believing that some proportion of total strangers were in fact long lost relatives, would we all be blessed with a larger circle of friends?

N.J. Mayor, Son Arrested For Hacking Political Rival's Website

A New Jersey mayor has been arrested along with his son on charges they conspired to hack a Website calling for the mayor's ouster as part of a campaign to target the mayor's critics.

Felix Roque, mayor of the Hudson County town of West New York, and his son Joseph Roque were arrested Thursday for gaining unauthorized access to computers in furtherance of causing damage to protected computers, causing damage to protected computers, and conspiracy to commit those crimes. West New York is directly across the Hudson River from midtown Manhattan.

According to the FBI, in early February 2012, a Hudson County resident and public official anonymously created and moderated the Recall Roque Website, and posted commentary and criticism of the mayor and his administration. On Feb. 6, Mayor Roque and his son allegedly conspired to hack into the site and take it down, as well as to identify, intimidate and harass anyone they discovered was involved with it.

By the late afternoon of Feb. 8, 2012, Joseph Roque had successfully hacked into various online accounts used in connection with the recall Website and used that access to disable it, authorities said.

?In this case, the elected leader of West New York and his son allegedly hacked into computers to intimidate constituents who were simply using the Internet to exercise their constitutional rights to criticize the government,? U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said, in a statement. ?We will continue to investigate and prosecute those who illegally hack into computers and disable Websites with the goal of suppressing the exercise of that right.?

According to the criminal complaint, the younger Roque contacted domain registrar Go Daddy and reset the password of the site's creator. Then on Feb. 8, he allegedly cancelled the domain name. Phone records show that the father and son were in contact during the time this was going on, authorities said.

Afterwards, the elder Roque is accused of using email messages he had access to in order to identify the people behind the site, and called a Hudson County government official claiming to have proof that the official was behind the site. The official in question has been identified by The Jersey Journal newspaper as Hudson County Freeholder Jose Munoz.

Over the course of several days, Mayor Roque called the site's creator as well as other people linked to the site on the phone in a campaign of harassment and intimidation, authorities alleged. In addition, he is accused in the complaint of asking other public officials to work with him to retaliate against them.

The conspiracy charge and the charge of gaining unauthorized access to a computer in furtherance of causing damage to protected computers are each punishable by a maximum of five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The charge of causing damage to protected computers carries a maximum sentence of a year in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
