Mobile users in 461 cities today get 50% faster peak speeds at no extra cost. Introducing Verizon LTE Advanced.

August 29, 2016

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Verizon announced today it has launched LTE Advanced technology to bring 50% faster peak wireless data speeds to more than 288 million people in 461 cities from coast to coast. Verizon LTE Advanced hits all the major cities, and covers loads of less-served places including highways, interstates, country roads and rural America. So customers don’t need to stay in one place to get great high speed connections, they can use their mobile devices to actually be mobile and head to the places they work, vacation and want to go.

“Our customers just received a major network enhancement for no additional cost,” said Tami Erwin, head of operations for Verizon’s wireless unit. “Verizon LTE Advanced works like a turbocharger on an engine. Speed boosts kick in when you need it most, with big data use. That’s when you get the big peak boost of Verizon LTE Advanced.”

Verizon LTE Advanced uses software that combines multiple channels to speed mobile data over the network more quickly than ever before. The result is 50% faster peak speeds in cities nationwide for Verizon customers using one of the 39 LTE Advanced-capable phones and tablets already on Verizon’s network – including top-selling Samsung Galaxy S6 and S7 smartphones, Moto Droids and Apple iPhones. As new devices from Apple, Samsung, LG and other manufacturers are introduced, they will be LTE Advanced-capable right out of the box.

Customers with a phone or tablet with LTE Advanced capabilities and the most recent software will benefit from these enhancements without effort or additional costs. There are no extra plan costs, no settings to change, no indicators to check.

How it works.

Verizon LTE Advanced uses software to combine two or three bandwidth channels into one larger channel to send data sessions over the most efficient route to completion. This technology is called carrier aggregation and uses a combination of 700 MHz, AWS, and PCS spectrum.

“Verizon LTE Advanced means your data session moves more quickly over the best network,” said Nicki Palmer, Verizon’s chief wireless network engineer. “Imagine a road with multiple lanes in which, once you pick a lane, that’s the lane you drive in. That describes our award-winning 4G LTE network. Continuing the metaphor, Verizon LTE Advanced allows cars to change lanes efficiently and flawlessly, balancing the flow of traffic and getting drivers to their destinations more efficiently. That means blindingly fast data transmissions when you need it most.”

LTE Advanced currently uses a combination of two- and three-carrier aggregation. Customers will continue to enjoy typical download speeds of 5 – 12 Mbps, but two-channel carrier aggregation has shown peak download speeds of up to 225 Mbps, far exceeding the current speeds being experienced by wireless data networks nationwide. While the speeds of two channel carrier aggregation provide a leap forward, three-channel carrier aggregation provides even greater efficiency. Verizon engineers deploying three-channel carrier aggregation have experienced speeds greater than 300 Mbps.

In 2003, Verizon was the first wireless company to launch 3G, bringing it from coast to coast by 2005. In 2010, customers across the country were first to experience the newest mobile technology – 4G LTE. “With Verizon LTE Advanced, we’re bringing the next generation of wireless technology to the market, coast to coast,” said Palmer. “We’re already in 461 markets and we’re already underway deploying three channel carrier aggregation.”

Verizon provides the best customer experience, built on the nation’s most award-winning network. Today’s announcement of Verizon LTE Advanced technology in 461 cities on the Verizon network coast to coast, increasing peak speeds by up to 50% at no additional cost, adds even greater value. Verizon’s network is the most award-winning network for its speed, consistently reliable performance, and hundreds of thousands of square miles more 4G LTE coverage than the next-closest competitor.

Rahal, Honda Stand Tall in Texas

August 29, 2016

Graham Rahal edged fellow Honda driver James Hinchcliffe in a photo finish to win Saturday night's Firestone 600 at Texas Motor Speedway.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — After a series of late-race cautions bunched the Verizon IndyCar Series field for the closing laps Saturday night at Texas Motor Speedway, Graham Rahal passed fellow Honda driver James Hinchcliffe on the final lap to win the Firestone 600 by just eight-thousandths of a second, the closest finish in the history of the 1.5-mile oval.

Saturday night’s event marked the resumption of the race that started on June 12, but was halted by rain after 71 of the scheduled 248 laps had been completed. At the time of the red flag, Honda drivers ran 1-2-3, with Hinchcliffe leading, followed by Ryan Hunter-Reay in second and Mikhail Aleshin, third.

At the restart, Hinchcliffe dominated, steadily building a advantage of as much as 10 seconds over the field, led a total of 188 laps in the combined event, and additionally was able to extend his tire life to pit as much as 10 laps more between pit stops than his competitors.

A pair of late-race crashes that eliminated several cars, but resulted in no serious injuries, then set up a final, eight-lap dash to the checkers. Hinchcliffe’s Schmidt Peterson Motorsports team elected not to pit and give up the lead, leaving him with the task of holding off a half-dozen other drivers who had all pitted during either the Lap 224-229 or Lap 232-239 cautions.

Still, Hinchcliffe was able to fend off all challengers, until Rahal successfully made a dive to the inside in the final turn, and edged ahead to claim victory in a near photo finish and a 1-2 result for Honda.

Video recaps from this weekend’s Honda racing activities at Texas Motor Speedway are being posted on the “Honda Racing/HPD” YouTube channel. Produced by the Carolinas Production Group, the video packages can be found in the 2015 HPD Trackside Video Playlist at: https://www.youtube.com/HondaRacingHPDTV.

With the completion of tonight’s Firestone 600, the Verizon IndyCar Series returns to natural terrain road courses for the final two races of the season, starting with the IndyCar Grand Prix at the Glen, September 4 at Watkins Glen International Raceway in New York.

Graham Rahal (#28 Andretti Autosport Honda) started 13^th, finished 1^st, 1^st win of 2016, 4^th career Indy car victory: “I had to set that [last lap pass] up. James [Hinchcliffe] did a great job tonight. In all honesty, he deserved to win this thing; he led from start to finish. You’ve just got to lead that last lap. I knew I couldn’t get him on the high side. We had a hole underneath ‘Hinch’ and we had to take it. I had to set him up and get him thinking I was going high and then cut across. I’m so proud of this Penn Grade team and thankful to everybody that supports us like Steak ‘n Shake, United Rentals, Hyatt and more. It means the world to me. In all honesty I was thinking about [Bryan] Clauson, but more importantly I was thinking about Justin [Wison]. He and I had a great battle here a few years ago [in 2014], and he got me at the end. I kept thinking about him the last few laps. I definitely miss that guy. He was a great human being and a hell of a race car driver.”

James Hinchcliffe (#5 Schmidt Peterson Motorsports Honda) started 10^th, finished 2^nd, led 188 laps: “It was a tough finish, for sure. It was a great race. The Arrow Electronics Honda was just a rocket ship. We built the thing to be good over a tire stint, which is always the name of the game here in Texas, [minimizing] tire degradation is key. We haven’t had a late-finish, three-wide battle here in Texas since 2011. It was tough. We kept a lot of guys at bay. Like I said, we really built the car for long runs and on those restarts we kept them at bay a couple times but ultimately, Graham [Rahal] and TK [Tony Kanaan] stopped for tires and I think that was kind of the difference maker. It’s a tough call but huge credit to the Arrow Electronics boys because the car really was a rocket and congrats to Graham. It’s a lot of fun racing up there with those guys and I think we put on a much better show for the fans than we would’ve if we were leading by half a straight. We’d have liked [a big lead] better, but we’re here to put on a good show.”

Art St. Cyr (President, Honda Performance Development) on tonight’s race in Texas: “Tonight’s race had a little bit of everything. A dominating performance from James Hinchcliffe for the majority of the race, followed by a multicar battle over the final 20 laps that had the fans on their feet and all of us in pit lane holding our breath! The skill shown by Graham [Rahal] as he was ‘pin-balling’ between cars at more than 200 mph was equally exciting and terrifying. He drove brilliantly to snatch the win from ‘Hinch’ on the final lap. Either driver would have been a deserving victor, and we congratulate both the Schmidt Peterson and Rahal Letterman Lanigan teams for their efforts tonight to bring Honda a 1-2 finish here in Texas. Races like this help make all the incredibly hard work performed by HPD over the past year worthwhile.”

New York City’s First Boot Camp for Young Film Critics Makes it to Prime Time

August 29, 2016

0

BROOKLYN, New York, Aug. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — For the second consecutive year, the HITN-TV / KIDS FIRST! Film Critics Boot Camp has graduated another class of future movie critics. And in the coming months, many of these new graduates will start critiquing major motion pictures – but they’ll have to finish their homework first since these up-and-coming film reviewers are all school-aged!

In early August, a group of young participants were invited to the studios of HITN-TV – which are located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard – to develop critical thinking skills, learn the art of writing and videotaping their film reviews and practice on-camera interview skills. Once the young participants complete the weeklong camp, they have the opportunity to join the KIDS FIRST! Film Critics team. This group of national youth reporters attend press screenings, interview talent on the red carpet, and review new film releases rated PG-13 and younger. These young film critics – ages 8 to 18 – and their reviews are seen, read or listened to by more than 7 million people every month.

The weeklong camp is designed and administered by Ranny Levy, founder of KIDS FIRST! and developer of the KIDS FIRST! Film Critics program. Many of this years’ campers were awarded a scholarship by HITN-TV to cover the full cost participating in the camp. At the completion of the Boot Camp, participants have developed their critical writing skills, learned advanced communications skills and explored media as a career option. The Film Critics Boot Camp is a first of its kind in New York City and is the result of partnership between HITN-TV and KIDS FIRST!.

After a successful inaugural year, the HITN-TV / KIDS FIRST! Film Critics Boot Camp added a second weeklong camp designed for youth who have already participated as a KIDS FIRST! Film Critic or have extensive media experience. As part of the camp activities, the students meet with special guests from the entertainment industry including actors, film critics and producers. This year Sandy Kenyon, the venerable Entertainment Reporter and movie critic for ABC Eyewitness News in New York City visited the camp. Mr. Kenyon spoke to the group about entertainment reporting and offered tips such as the importance of not becoming friends with famous celebrities since that makes its harder to later critique their role in a film. Mr. Kenyon also graciously invited the group to tour ABC Studios in Manhattan and appear on-air as guest film critics the same day he reviewed the amazing reboot of Disney’s cherished family film, Pete’s Dragon.

KIDS FIRST! Film Critics Boot Camp is a project of the Coalition for Quality Children’s Media, a national, nonprofit (501-c-3) organization founded in 1991 whose mission is to teach children critical viewing skills and to increase the visibility and availability of quality children’s media. For more information, visit www.kidsfirst.org.

HITN-TV provides educational programming in Spanish in the United States, reaching more than 40 million households in key Hispanic markets across the country. HITN-TV is distributed in the US and Puerto Rico on DIRECTV, DISH Network, AT&T U-verse TV, Verizon FiOS TV, Comcast, Charter, Cablevision and Mediacom, and in other markets on Time Warner Cable.

DWC Provides Status Report on Drug Formulary, Updates to Medical Treatment Guidelines

August 26, 2016

0

OAKLAND, California, Aug. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Department of Industrial Relations’ Division of Workers’ Compensation (DIR/DWC) is on target to implement a workers’ compensation drug formulary by July of next year as required by Assembly Bill 1124. DWC is also updating its medical guidelines to align with the formulary and provide the best evidence-based care for injured workers while reducing delays in their treatment and administrative burden.

“The drug formulary will help guide medical providers in the best treatment for specific conditions,” said DIR Director Christine Baker. “And using preferred drugs will also help control costs.”

The drug formulary is expected to reduce the need for utilization review (UR) and independent medical review (IMR), processes which consider necessity of proposed treatment. The foundation for the drug formulary is the evidence-based content of Reed Group’s American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) formulary. DWC has drafted rules and criteria for the application of the formulary and use of the preferred drug list. DWC has posted draft formulary regulation text on the DWC Forums for public review and will accept comments until 5 p.m. on Friday, September 16.

The Division contracted with RAND to conduct a review and analysis of existing drug formularies, and to make recommendations for California.

The formulary is most effective when used in conjunction with evidence-based treatment recommendations for the patient’s condition and phase of care. As a result, DWC is also updating the guidelines in its medical treatment utilization schedule to integrate the guidelines and drug formulary portions of the MTUS. These updated guidelines on numerous clinical topics, have been posted on the DWC forum for review and comment.

“Many treatment guidelines have been updated and we want to reflect the most recent evidence in the MTUS,” said DWC Executive Medical Director Dr. Raymond Meister. “The updates will facilitate the best evidence-based care, while the formulary will provide a clear list of preferred medications.

The following chapters have been posted on the forum:

Ankle and Foot
Cervical and Thoracic Spine
Elbow Disorders
Eye
Hand, Wrist, and Forearm
Hip and Groin
Knee Disorders
Low Back Disorders
Shoulder Disorders

The ACOEM Guidelines are published by Reed Group and are available electronically through MDGuidelines. Grounded in transparent, evidence-based methodology, the ACOEM chapters provide guidance in effective treatment of occupational injuries and illnesses and are intended to help improve or restore the health of those workers who incur occupationally related illnesses or injuries.

The introduction of a preferred drug formulary using evidence-based medical guidelines is expected to reduce usage of opioids. According to analysis conducted in May by the California Workers’ Compensation Institute, opioid prescriptions accounted for 27.2% of prescriptions and 24.4% of spending in 2014, the latest data available.

Assembly Bill 1124 (Statutes 2015, Chapter 525) requires DWC adopt the formulary in consultation with the Commission on Health and Safety and Workers’ Compensation, and that DWC’s administrative director meet and consult with stakeholders. DWC held a public meeting in Oakland on February 17. The legislation further requires posting of a minimum of two interim reports describing the status of the formulary’s creation. The drug formulary must be adopted by July 1, 2017, and must be consistent with California’s Medical Treatment Utilization Schedule (MTUS), for medications prescribed in the workers’ compensation system.

The Division of Workers’ Compensation (DWC) monitors the administration of workers’ compensation claims, and provides administrative and judicial services to assist in resolving disputes that arise in connection with claims for workers’ compensation benefits.

DWC’s Information and Assistance Unit, often the first DWC contact for injured workers, also provides assistance in English and Spanish to employers, labor unions, insurance carriers, physicians, attorneys and other interested parties regarding rights, benefits and obligations under California’s workers’ compensation laws.

Members of the press may contact Erika Monterroza or Peter Melton at (510) 286-1161, and are encouraged to subscribe to get email alerts on DIR’s press releases, DWC newsline updates, or other departmental notifications.

The California Department of Industrial Relations, established in 1927, protects and improves the health, safety, and economic well-being of over 18 million wage earners, and helps their employers comply with state labor laws. DIR is housed within the Labor & Workforce Development Agency. For general inquiries, contact DIR’s Communications Call Center at 844-LABOR-DIR (844-522-6734) for help in locating the appropriate division or program in our department.
