SANTA ROSA BEACH, FL, January 09, 2013 (Press-News.org) 30a Television is now available on the Roku Web TV box, thanks to a partnership with Seattle based Octave Television Network. 30a Television will be one of 100 channels within Octave, the USA's largest public access television network.

Roku is the the #1 streaming set-top box in the country and creators of NETFLIX. Roku is highly regarded as the driving force behind web-enabled TV.

Octave broadcasts to Roku in a linear format alongside on-demand streaming options made famous by Netflix and Hulu. Octave is combining the strength of hundreds of America's community TV stations into a national network with more available local affiliates than ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX combined.

Octave Network Television (aka '8ctave') is a groundbreaking HDTV service provider, offering dozens of local, regional and national public access, government and community channels.

8ctave founder Edward Balboa said, "You need a lot of Davids to take on Goliaths, so I am delighted to welcome a well respected content producer such as 30a Television to our network."

Over 3 million Rokus are in American TV households. A Roku and an Internet connection enables users to 'cut the cord' and the bills associated with traditional cable/satellite service and enjoy 8ctave, and many other HD offerings free.

30a Television founder Paul Vizard said, "30a Television continues to endure, so when large networks approach us for partnerships we are glad to entertain them. To reach beyond our current audience to showcase the Florida Panhandle and the terrific lifestyle we all enjoy here on 30a is exciting and rewarding."

Heat-resistant corals provide clues to climate change survival

2013-01-08

In a future shaped by climate change, only the strong – or heat-resistant – will survive. A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences opens a window into a genetic process that allows some corals to withstand unusually high temperatures and may hold a key to species survival for organisms around the world. "If we can find populations most likely to resist climate change and map them, then we can protect them," said study co-author Stephen Palumbi, a senior fellow at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment and director of Stanford's ...

Space-simulation study reveals sodium rhythms in the body

Maintaining the right sodium levels in the body is crucial for controlling blood pressure and ensuring proper muscle function. Conventional wisdom has suggested that constant sodium levels are achieved through the balance of sodium intake and urinary excretion, but a new study in humans published by Cell Press on January 9th in the journal Cell Metabolism reveals that sodium levels actually fluctuate rhythmically over the course of weeks, independent of salt intake. This one-of-a-kind study, which examined cosmonauts participating in space-flight simulation studies, challenges ...

Most physicians do not meet Medicare quality reporting requirements

2013-01-08

Washington, DC – A new Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute study shows that fewer than one-in-five healthcare providers meet Medicare Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) requirements.

As it stands, more than 80 percent of providers nationwide would face these penalties. Researchers analyzed 2007-2010 PQRS program data and found that nearly 24 percent of eligible radiologists qualified ...
