They will provide Program Intro: an overview of the ongoing transition of the U.S. health care system from a fee-for-service driven system to a value-based system.

The change is driven by the September 21 Duty Roster high cost of the fee-for-service system, which promotes increasing utilization of expensive health care services while underemphasizing Invocation: prevention and care for chronic diseases.

  • The Hewlett-Packard Years Optoelectronicsdivision September 1973 Through January 1999 by David L
    The Hewlett-Packard Years OptoelectronicsDivision September 1973 through January 1999 by David L. Evans Optoelectronics Applications Engineer Foreword Optoelectronics Applications Engineer—Dave Evans There are already two informative HP Memoirs on this website, written by Bob Steward and John Uebbing. Both memoirs have great technology and personal stories about how HPA started from a materials science group in HP Labs in the mid-1960s. This venture came from a vision which saw great promise in exploiting the remarkable ability to get visible light out of Gallium-Arsenide-based semiconductors, at very low (portable) voltages. Bill Hewlett and others in HP Labs backed up this venture with generous funding, especially in 1970 when 15-digit miniature displays were needed for Bill's pet project, the HP-35 electronic slide rule. By the time Dave Evans was hired at HPA LED group in 1973, I had already spent almost three years (1969 – 1972) in the earliest years trying to manage the introduction of LED displays, culminating in the wildly popular HP-35 electronic slide rule. I moved on in late 1972. But that period starting in about 1969 was technologically exciting, as LED digits and alpha-numeric displays were finding applications all the way from auto tail and brake lights to traffic stop lights. But we really didn't know what was coming. The clear advantages of semiconductor light, used to generate small digits for revolutionary pocket calculators or in portable HP instrumentation and quickly in desktop engineering calculators were obvious. It was also obvious to HPA's marketing teams like Milt Liebhaber and Rick Kniss, that the super reliability of LED bulbs were going to be natural for applications like the tail and stop lights of autos.

  • The Song Remains the Same: What Cyberlaw Might Teach the Next Internet Economy
    THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME: WHAT CYBERLAW MIGHT TEACH THE NEXT INTERNET ECONOMY Kevin Werbach* Abstract The next stage of the digital economy will involve trillions of networked devices across every industry and sphere of human activity: The Internet of the World. Early manifestations of this evolution through on-demand services such as Uber and Airbnb raise a host of serious legal questions. The stage seems set for a decisive battle between regulation and innovation. Yet this perception is mistaken. In the end, the emerging businesses will welcome government engagement, and regulatory actors will accept creative solutions to achieve their goals. Why expect such a resolution? Because the same story played out twenty years ago, in the early days of the commercial internet. Contemporary debates recapitulate a familiar error: the artificial division of virtual and real-space activity. Now, as in the past, this “digital dichotomy” feeds both excessive skepticism about legal protections and excessive concern about the threats from technology-based innovations. The history of cyberlaw shows the importance of overcoming such perceptions and recognizing the potential of government as an enabler of innovation.

  • Communities of Computing
    Other Places of Invention: Computer Graphics at the University of Utah Jacob Gaboury Introduction 11.1 The history of computing in the U.S. is dominated by government-funded univer- sities and private research institutions on the East and West coasts. MIT, Stanford, Harvard, UCLA, UC Berkeley, Bell Labs, Xerox PARC, and others played key roles in the early development of computer science and the transformation of that field into a large-scale industry. Often overlooked are those sites and institutions outside the research meccas of Silicon Valley and Boston’s Route 128, spaces whose fun- 11damental contributions to the history of computing have been largely forgotten, even by the institutions themselves.1 The University of Utah is precisely this kind of place. Not only a major computer science research center of its time, it was also the premier institution for research into computer graphics in the United States for over 15 years. During roughly 1966–1979 the faculty and graduates of the Utah pro- gram were responsible for no less than inventing the concepts that make modern 1. In 2006 Professor H. Kent Bowen and Courtney Purrington, Ph.D., were commissioned to pre- pare a Harvard Business School case study on the University of Utah phenomenon by recently elected university president Michael Young. In 2004 Young learned of Utah’s prestigious graphics history at the dedication of the new Warnock Engineering Building, named for Adobe Systems founder John Warnock, at which time there seemed very little institutional memory of the uni- versity’s significant contributions. I draw on Bowen and Purrington’s work in what follows, with particular interest to their original interviews with Utah faculty and alumni.
