MAYOR WALSH LAUNCHES BOSTON'S FIRST NEIGHBORHUB, A CITY HALL TO GO INITIATIVE THAT WILL PROVIDE CITY SERVICES TO RESIDENTS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD

First NeighborHUB Location in Mission Hill; Two Other Locations to Be Announced in Coming Months

BOSTON - Wednesday, June 22, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh today joined members of the community to launch the City of Boston's first NeighborHUB at the Boston Centers for Youth and Families (BCYF) Tobin Community Center in Mission Hill. The NeighborHUB program is designed to meet the needs of residents and offer services to them in their neighborhoods, and will build on the success of the City Hall to Go Truck, creating physical, permanent sites for City Hall to Go in BCYF community centers. This program is an opportunity for residents to interact with City Hall outside of City Hall Plaza, and will extend local government centers throughout the City. "Easy, convenient access to City Hall services is a cornerstone of connecting with residents, and I'm pleased that through the City Hall to Go program we have been able to reach more residents than ever before and provide them with access to city services at different locations across the city," said Mayor Walsh. "We are excited to launch NeighborHUBs to build on the success of the program and offer even more access to the city's great resources and services to people in their own neighborhoods." NeighborHUBs will serve as a "one-stop shop" for residents to take care of their City-related business and learn about new programs and services offered in their neighborhoods. NeighborHUBs are being launched in partnership with BCYF, which will provide the space needed through BCYF community centers, and the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services, whose individual neighborhood liaisons will offer office hours where members of the community are welcome to stop in to find out more information about city services. "City Hall to Go is always looking for creative ways to engage with more residents and deliver the best customer service to them," said Ben Vainer, Director of City Hall to Go. "NeighborHUBs is taking the array of services and resources available through City Hall to Go and bringing them directly to residents in their own neighborhood, with a permanent location in their local community center. We're excited to kick-off our first NeighborHUB at the BCYF Tobin Community Center and encourage everyone to use this great resource available to them." The NeighborHUB at the Tobin Community Center will be open three days a week, on Mondays from 2:00 - 8:00 p.m., Thursdays from 7:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Today's announcement is the first phase of a pilot program that by the end of the year will bring three NeighborHUBs to different neighborhoods across the city. The two other locations will be identified through community engagement, as well as an effort to geographically reach residents in different parts of the city, and will be announced in the coming months. The services provided expand upon those offered by the City Hall to Go truck, and include services such as: Applying for a resident parking permit Receiving recycling and trash stickers Downloading City apps Learning about BPS school registration Getting a dog license Attending office hours to speak with a liaison from the Mayor's Office of Neighborhood Services Getting connected with additional city resources Since the City Hall to Go initiative was first launched in 2012, it has expanded its services and operations to build on its engagement with City residents. Most recently, City Hall to Go launched Kitchen Table Talks, an initiative designed to engage residents in discussions about City-related topics around a "kitchen table" setting, based off the premise that the best conversations happen around a kitchen table. In February, Mayor Walsh also announced Boston 1ON1, a program that allows new Boston residents or a resident moving to a new neighborhood the opportunity to meet one on one in with a staff member of the Mayor's City Hall to Go team, to get setup in their new neighborhood. Appointments can be made here. About City Hall to Go For many residents, traveling downtown to City Hall can be a long way to go. Boston is, after all, a city that stretches across nearly 50 square miles. Many people need a personal interaction to get direct services, ask a question or get information, so Boston takes City Hall to them. Some services City Hall to Go offers include, applying for resident parking stickers, paying/appealing parking tickets, paying taxes, and more. You can find the complete list of services as well as the schedule of where City Hall to Go will be, athttp://www.cityofboston.gov/cityhalltogo/.

50家本年度最睿智公司麻州佔5家，中國有4家

麻省理工學院科技評論雜誌（MIT Technology Review）今（21）日宣佈了本年度的50家最睿智公司。

打入名單的有應用數位科技重新定義企業的亞馬遜（Amazon），字母（Alphabet）等大公司，，也有在科技上作了改變的微軟（Microsoft），博許（Bosch），豐田（Toyota），英代爾（Intel）等公司。其他還有野心勃勃的初創公司，包括在容許消費者使用DNA檢測的123及我，重新發明電池科技的24M，在中國市場上打敗Uber，僅面市4年的共乘車輛應用程式公司Didi Chuxing（滴滴出行）。

排名第一的是亞馬遜，總部在美國華盛頓州西雅圖市的上市公司，估值3370億元。

亞馬遜去年就因為在完單中心使用機械人而打入名單，今年則是因為該公司在使用Alexa語音服務上，令人驚詫的成功，以及該公司持續成長的睿智設備應用，例如亞馬遜回音（Amazon Echo)，回音點（Echo Dot），以及Tap等。Alexa使得上網搜尋，播放音樂，調節燈光或溫度都變得更容易，只要在家裡發語音指令就行了。亞馬遜網絡服務（Amazon Web Services）這雲運算操作，不但成了業界領頭羊，也成為該公司成長最快，最盈利的部門。

亞馬遜的Echo Dot只賣89.99元，是使用Alexa語音服務的最廉宜設備。

排名第二的是百度。總部在中國北京，估值550億元。

百度在核心業務的網路搜索，銷售之外，在語音辨認及對話介面上有值得人注意的成就。在2015年時，百度宣佈發展語音辨識工程，稱為深度演講2（Deep Speech 2），應用深度學習來辨識口說語言，有時比人還聽得準確。百度做人工智慧研究，既改善產品、服務，也使得該公司面對阿里巴巴，騰訊時，更有競爭力。百度還積極角逐自動化汽車市場，在矽谷設立了一個小組來帶領電腦視覺，機械人及傳感器的研究及工程。

百度計劃年底之前，在加州聘用100多名自動化汽車研究員及工程師。

排名第三的是總部在加州聖地牙哥，估值200億元的生物科技公司Illumina。

Illumina是全世界最大的脫氧核糖核酸（DNA）檢測公司，希望在診斷疾病上拓展該公司的科技角色。今年Illumina組成了一家新公司，發展費用低於一千元的血液測驗，能夠在徵狀出現前測出許多種癌症，大幅度增加了患者存活率。這家分裂出來的公司，名叫Grail，由妻子因直腸癌去世的谷歌前資深高管Jeff Huber領導。這種測試概念稱為“液態活體組織切片（Liquid Biopsy），用Illumina的高速檢測機器，來找癌細胞在人血中釋放出來的DNA碎片。

百度去年的營業額達到22億元，較之前一年增加了19%。

排名第四的是總部設在加州柏拉阿圖（Palo Alto），估值280議員的特斯拉（Tesla）汽車公司。

排名第五的是賓州匹茲堡Aquion能源公司。

麻州佔了10%。這50家公司中有5家在麻州，包括劍橋市的24M，Editas Medicine，Seven Bridges，勒星頓鎮的T2Biosystems，丹佛市的Veritas Genetics。

座落在中國的有4家，包括同在中國深圳的華為，騰訊，以及在北京的滴滴出行，在杭州的阿里巴巴。

在前五名之外，其他打入名單的公司，依序為，在以色列耶路撒冷的電腦通訊公司Mobileye，在加州山景的生物科技公司23andMe，谷歌母公司Alphabet，在賓州費城的生物科技公司Spark Therapeutics，在中國深圳的電腦通訊公司華為（Huawei），在亞利桑納州天普（Tempe）的第一太陽能（First Solar），在加州聖塔克拉拉的電腦通訊公司Nvidia，在紐約州紐約市的生物科技公司Cellectis，在加州舊金山的生物科技公司Enlitic，在加州蒙羅公園的臉書（Facebook），在加州Hawthorne的運輸公司SpaceX，在日本豐田是的豐田（Toyota），在加州舊金山的電腦通訊公司Airware，在以色列Kadima的能源公司IDE 科技，在中國深圳的騰訊（Tencent），在中國北京的滴滴出行（Didi Chuxing），在英國牛津的生物科技公司Oxford Nanopore，在麻州劍橋市的能源公司24M，在中國杭州的網路及數位媒體公司阿里巴巴，在紐約的生物科技公司Bristol-Myers Squibb，在華盛頓州雷蒙（Redmond）的微軟（Microsoft），在日本Oshino-mura的電腦通訊公司Fanuc，在德國Wildpoldsried的能源公司Sonnen，在英國倫敦的電腦通訊公司Improbable，在加州聖荷西的電腦通訊公司Movidius，在馬里蘭州德國城的生物科技公司Intrexon，在加州雷蒙（Redmond）的能源公司Carbon，在德國Stuttgart的運輸公司Bosch，在麻州勒星頓鎮的生物科技公司T2Biosystems，在麻州劍橋市的生物科技公司Editas Medicine，在瑞士Vevey的生物科技公司Nestle，在密西根州Ann Arbor的生物科技公司RetroSense Therapeutics，在日本東京的網路及數位媒體公司Line, Subsidiary of Naver，在英國倫敦的運算及通訊公司TransferWise，在麻州丹佛的生物科技公司Veritas Genetics，在加州Milpitas的電腦通訊公司Fire Eye，在麻州劍橋市的電腦通訊公司Seven Bridges，在加州舊金山的電腦通訊公司Slack，在南韓首爾(Seoul)的網路及數位媒體公司Coupang，在紐約Armonk的電腦通訊公司IBM，在加州洛杉磯的網路及數位媒體公司Snapchat，在奈及利亞Lagos的網路及數位媒體公司Africa Internet Group，在紐約的電腦通訊公司LittleBits，在加州聖塔克拉拉的電腦通訊公司Intel，以及在密蘇里聖路易斯的生物科技公司Monsanto。

MAYOR WALSH TO RECOGNIZE JUNE AS ALZHEIMER'S AND BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH

MAYOR WALSH TO RECOGNIZE JUNE AS  ALZHEIMER'S  AND BRAIN AWARENESS MONTH

BOSTON - Tuesday, June 21, 2016 - Mayor Martin J. Walsh will recognize June as Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month with an event on City Hall Plaza on Wednesday, June 22. The event will run from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m, and Mayor Walsh will attend to meet with organizers and observe a moment of silence to honor those living with Alzheimer's disease. Staff from the Elderly Commission and the Alzheimer's Association, Massachusetts/New Hampshire Chapter will invite the public to wear purple and write a purple message of hope and remembrance on the "Reason to Hope" chalkboards. They will also be hosting a table with resources for residents with Alzheimer's and their caregivers, providing information and signing people up for the Greater Boston Walk to End Alzheimer's in September. Nationwide, more than five million people are living with Alzheimer's disease, including 10,000 Boston residents that live with the disease.

MASSACHUSETTS CONSUMERS TO RECEIVE NEARLY $9 MILLION IN REFUNDS FROM E-BOOK PRICE FIXING SETTLEMENTS

MASSACHUSETTS CONSUMERS TO RECEIVE NEARLY $9 MILLION IN REFUNDS FROM E-BOOK PRICE FIXING SETTLEMENTS Consumers Nationwide to Receive $400 Million as a Result of Successful Litigation against Apple, Inc.

BOSTON – Massachusetts residents who purchased electronic books (E-books) will begin to receive additional account credits or checks this week as a result of the successful prosecution of a price-fixing case against Apple, Inc., Attorney General Maura Healey announced today.

In total, consumers nationwide will receive more than $400 million after the United States Supreme Court denied Apple’s request to review the decision of a lower court finding Apple had violated antitrust laws. Of that amount, Massachusetts consumers are expected to receive approximately $9 million in restitution.

“Consumers who were forced to pay higher prices as a result of the price-fixing and collusion among these competitors will finally get the relief they are due,” AG Healey said.  “This outcome sends a clear message that these kinds of practices are unfair to consumers and violate our antitrust laws.”

In July 2013, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ruled that Apple conspired with five major U.S. Publishers - Hachette Book Group Inc., HarperCollins Publishers LLC, Simon & Schuster Inc., Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC, d/b/a Macmillan, and Penguin Group (USA) Inc. – to raise the retail prices of E-books, in violation of federal and state antitrust laws.

In June 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed that ruling. And in March 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Apple’s request to review the Second Circuit’s decision.

The nearly $9 million in restitution is in addition to the approximately $5 million dollars that was paid to Massachusetts consumers starting in March 2014 as a result of previous settlements with Macmillan, Penguin Group (USA) Inc., Hachette Book Group Inc., HarperCollins Publishers L.L.C., and Simon & Schuster Inc.

Whether a consumer receives a credit or a check depends upon the retailer from which the relevant e-books were purchased; for some retailers it also depends upon whether a claim was properly filed or whether the consumer specifically requested a check. Eligible consumers are asked to review emails from their e-book retailer, or from the Settlement Administrator, regarding account credits or checks.   

The amounts received by E-book purchasers will be based on the number of E-books purchased between April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012. For each E-book that was a New York Times bestseller, consumers will receive $6.93. For all other E-books, the payment will be $1.57.

For more information on the settlements, please visit www.ebookagsettlements.com.

This case was handled by William Matlack, Chief of Maura Healey’s Antitrust Division and Kyle Barr, Paralegal and Economic Analyst, also in the Antitrust Division.
