Merger with Block Vision Creates Impetus for Redefining Company Image, Solutions, and Culture
RANCHO CORDOVA, CA, and LINTHICUM, MD (February 3, 2014) – Superior Vision today unveiled its new name, logo, tagline, and overall visual identity following its recent merger with Block Vision. Maintaining the name Superior Vision, the new brand reflects the company's strategic focus and cultural foundation as it becomes a leader in delivering vision and eye health solutions.
The new brand speaks to a mission and philosophy that will guide Superior Vision's growth and future success. The new Superior Vision logo depicts movement and health, evokes the image of an eye, and represents the flow of ideas and interconnected solutions with its broad strokes. The tagline "See yourself healthy" encompasses the idea that vision and eye health is an important component of overall health and wellness.
"Our brand is the visual representation of the mission and vision statements that will drive our company's actions," stated Kirk Rothrock, CEO of Superior Vision. "We are affirming our commitment to a culture of delivering outstanding service, provider access, and member and customer value. This positions us to deliver the greatest vision and eye health solutions in the vision care marketplace."
"We are excited at the opportunity to join forces with a company that so closely matches our philosophy of being focused solely on vision and eye health," said Andrew Alcorn, President and CEO, Block Vision. "We are both successful companies today. Together we will create a company that is well-positioned to deliver the vision and eye health services that millions of Americans need through a variety of established and emerging delivery mechanisms."
Superior Vision and Block Vision will join management forces and service delivery to create an entity that will respond well to the varying presence of vision benefits within the Affordable Care Act and related public and private exchanges. Flexibility, choice, and access are the hallmarks of both companies.
Superior Vision's new visual identity has been introduced on the Superior website. The websites of Block Vision and Vision Insurance Plan of America (VIPA) will carry a new transition identity as stakeholder education continues and business operations are merged over the coming months. For current customers, partners, and members there will be no change in how they do business with their current entity; however, innovations and merger synergies will greatly enhance the overall Superior experience and value.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Internet users in Europe may be allowed to copy parts of some copyrighted files legally under reforms to outdated rules governing the murky world of online piracy, EU officials said on Wednesday.
Entertainment and software companies, who say they are losing billions of dollars of revenues to pirates, have been lobbying the bloc to outlaw all unlicensed copying and sharing of their digital films, music and applications.
But the bloc's executive, the European Commission, said it was hoping to find a middle ground that would let legitimate users copy parts of some files - while clamping down on serious criminals.
"The Commission's objective is to ensure that copyright stays fit for purpose in this new digital context," the EU Commission said in a statement.
Officials said they were redrawing the EU's 2001 copyright law, that was agreed when slow internet speeds made it difficult to share large digital files online.
New legislation, which could emerge in 2014, could clarify the fact that people could make "fair use" of some digital media, they added.
"Fair use" is a concept already active in other areas of copyright law, giving book reviewers, for example, the right to include short passages or quotes from publications in their articles.
Online "fair use" might let people use a snippet of someone else's song in a parody posted on the video-sharing website YouTube, said one Commission source.
"The question is can that snippet be 30 seconds or one minute," the source added.
Software companies have argued against the use of fair use, saying it is nearly impossible to copy just parts of their programs.
The European Parliament rejected a global agreement on copyright theft in July, handing a victory to thousands of tech-savvy activists who had argued the terms of the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) were too harsh.
Young protesters rallied across Europe and signed petitions saying the agreement - which aimed to give governments the power to stop the sale of fake goods - would curb their freedom and allow officials to spy on their online activities.
In a leaked document seen by Reuters, the Commission admitted that ACTA's defeat in Europe signaled the need for more flexible copyright laws.
Internet piracy has eroded music sales and software companies say they are losing tens of billions of dollars in revenue.
The Business Software Alliance, a U.S.-based lobby group, said 42 percent of people taking part in a survey in 2011 admitted using pirated software.

MIDDLEBURY — A grassroots coalition of environmental organizations has organized a demonstration against a proposed Vermont Gas Systems pipeline that would bring natural gas from Colchester to Middlebury.
Organizers expect hundreds of community members opposed to the pipeline to be in attendance at rally on Tuesday at 6 p.m. at the Middlebury Union Middle School off Deerfield Lane. It will occur prior to a 7 p.m. Vermont Public Service Board hearing, which will consider Vermont Gas' Addison Natural Gas Project.
BURLINGTON (AP) — A Vermont man convicted for his role in a movie fraud case is appealing his 55-month prison sentence.
When 57-year-old Malcolm "Mac" Parker of Addison was sentenced last month, the judge rejected a government recommendation to give him a three-year sentence.
FERRISBURGH — Denecker Chevrolet co-owners Tom Denecker and Mike Capra have emerged as potential buyers of land owned by the town of Ferrisburgh at the junction of Routes 7 and 22A.
Denecker and Capra, whose dealership has a Ferrisburgh showroom at the intersection of Route 7 and Monkton Road and a Vergennes service center on North Main Street, met behind closed doors with the Ferrisburgh selectboard on Sept. 3 to discuss the 34.9-acre parcel. Ferrisburgh has been marketing it since September 2010 for $375,000.
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont Sports Magazine has been sold to Addison Independent owner and publisher Angelo Lynn.
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury selectboard on Monday, Sept. 9, will review a proposed agreement with Middlebury College that would culminate in the demolition of the Lazarus building at 20 Main St. and the consolidation of property off Bakery Lane that would then be marketed for an as-yet undefined economic development initiative.
MIDDLEBURY — The first stage of a big construction project at the Middlebury College athletic facilities is nearing completion as work on a major new component of the complex continues apace.
The new 17,800-square-foot squash facility behind Kenyon Arena should be finished by October, before the start of the college squash season. The expanding construction site on the Route 30 side of the Peterson Family Athletic Facility is being readied for a new 110,000-square-foot field house, due to be completed in October 2014.

Why See Smashing Pumpkins?
The Pumpkins are back!
Billy Corgan's Smashing Pumpkins created some of the most iconic tracks of the 90s, fashioning an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop. Although the Pumpkins line-up has famously undergone almost constant upheaval, three of the band's original members are reuniting for this epic 30th anniversary tour including Corgan himself, Jimmy Chamberlin and James Iha. The mammoth US tour will celebrate all the hits from their biggest albums... a MUST for any Pumpkins fan!
Of all the major alternative rock bands of the early '90s, the Smashing Pumpkins were the group least influenced by traditional underground rock. Lead guitarist/songwriter Billy Corgan fashioned an amalgam of progressive rock, heavy metal, goth rock, psychedelia, and dream pop, creating a layered, powerful sound driven by swirling, distorted guitars. Corgan was wise enough to exploit his angst-ridden lyrics, yet he never shied away from rock star posturing, even if he did cloak it in allegedly ironic gestures. In fact, the Smashing Pumpkins became the model for alternative rock success - Nirvana was too destructive and Pearl Jam shunned success.

When artist Dan Goods arrived at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, they gave him a six-month shot. In May, he'll have been there 10 years as JPL's "visual strategist." He glued soda bottles to the roof of his Taurus to create music on an m.p.h. pipe organ. At JPL, his "Out There" sign (recycled computer-box parts) conjures the infinite in a meeting space and plaster hands he installed in the library hold curious objects. He once drilled a hole through a grain of sand to demonstrate the size of our galaxy, and then put that grain of sand in six rooms of sand that represent the universe. Anything to make abstract science into something you can see.
You came to L.A. for the arts education and stayed for the science. How did that happen?
I was born in Alaska and grew up in Oregon and lived in Seattle. L.A. was the last place on Earth I'd imagined I'd be, but I wanted to go to Art Center College of Design. I told my wife there were three things I could imagine doing: starting a teahouse, joining the Peace Corps or going to Art Center. Coming down the 210 there's a sign that says "Art Center College of Design," and the next one says "NASA-JPL." I went, "Wow, this is where I want to be!
Were you a science guy in school?
I had like a 2.98 [grade point average] in high school. I slept through my math classes.
It sounds like you got the science education here that you didn't get in high school.
I ask a lot of questions. I've always been interested in science because it has big crazy ideas that can change our lives and our perspective on ourselves. I get together with the scientists and they tell me what their mission is about. And I'll say, "Is this what you mean"? I'm always trying to uncover the essence of something. Once you find the essence, you can play with that concept. If I can figure it out, I can show other people about it.
What sort of projects have you done?
One is called "Hidden Light." It's about finding planets around other stars [inspired by NASA's Kepler Mission, which is searching for planets in habitable zones]. It's like trying to find a firefly in front of a spotlight if it's in New York and you're in L.A.
Stars are big and bright, and the planets you're looking for are small and dim. I have a super-bright projection against the wall, and it looks like a sun. Then I have a really dim movie projecting [planet images] at the same wall. People see this bright, pixelly sun; people walk up and inside their shadow it reveals the dim projections.
It's about trying to find a dim light in the midst of a bright light. I love the theme of seeing the unseen.
You created a piece that's touring called "Beneath the Surface" that was inspired by NASA's ongoing Juno mission to Jupiter, which isn't so much a planet as a giant gas cloud.
You walk into this room that represents the surface of Jupiter. You hear thunder and lightning — you don't see lightning but you hear it. There are giant lightning storms on Jupiter. The mission is going to figure out how deep the storms go.
I put a lot of infrared lights underneath a cloud made with tap water. You place an ultrasonic mister in water and it vaporizes the water into a beautiful mist. Cellphones can pick up infrared light, and you can see the lightning storm through [the cloud with] your cellphone. The scientists came down and stayed for half an hour watching how the clouds worked. I had to, like, get out of here.
Your work isn't illustration. It's about the concept.
Over the past 50 or 80 years people [did] futuristic drawings of space. That inspired a lot of the people who are here. They were all under their covers looking at comic books, and now they're here making it happen. I'm creating different experiences.
Everyone should have the opportunity to have a moment of awe about the universe. If I can create that, then I feel I've been successful.
Scientists are always particular and careful about accurate descriptions of their work. How do they react to your interpretations?
I'm always a little nervous, but I've always had a good reaction. Sometimes their inner geek comes out: "How did you do that?" These are huge problems these people are working on, really difficult and technical, and sometimes they forget about the big picture. So when I show them something, they're like, "Yeah, that's why I'm doing this." Now people come to me when they want something from a different perspective. They say, "Oh, we should just go talk to Dan."
What do you have coming up?
Juno is going to fly past Earth [to get to] Jupiter. It's called gravity assist. The day Juno makes its closest approach before being slingshotted [by Earth's gravity] out to Jupiter [is] Oct. 9, 2013. I'm brainstorming with others on an event for this moment. Juno is going to orbit Jupiter 33 1/3 times. [I'm] imagining a musical project related to Juno's 33 1/3 orbits.
You have a project for DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, to make a disaster rescue robot — there's a model right here in your work space — seem non-threatening.
We don't want to scare the bejesus out of someone it's coming to save. One [consideration] is color, another is shapes — should you soften them? Right now it's very hard-edged. It looks like a four-legged AT-AT from "Star Wars" that's going to shoot you. We've been looking at pictures of St. Bernard dogs. Can you give [the robot] droopy eyes or something that could be friendly? What should it sound like? Is it a deep kind of "rrrrrr"?
You help the JPL scientists make their pitches to NASA for projects too.
It's like producing an event. The scientists write a huge report, just huge. NASA sends questions one week before they bring 30 people, and you have to convince them that what you're doing is worthwhile and you can do it on budget. You have seven hours: You give them a one-hour tour, a one-hour lunch, and they leave.
I work on choreographing the event. I try to think of all the non-technical things. The report cover for the project to study trees. Trees are the lungs of the Earth [he drew a pair of topiary lungs]. The cover for the icy worlds project, like comets: images of water freezing in a Ping-Pong ball.
Not all of your projects have been for JPL. You collaborated on pieces for the airports in Atlanta and San Jose. Describe the one in San Jose.
It's thousands of pieces of liquid crystal, and they become transparent and opaque with a little electricity. We take real-time weather from around the world and [change the pattern] every 20 seconds; if it's raining somewhere, it looks like it's raining [inside the airport].
What's in this acrylic container? Looks like sand and glitter.
You've heard of the Drake equation, right? Frank Drake was one of the founders of SETI, and he had this equation. The basic idea is how many stars you think there are, how many of those have planets, how many of those have Earth-like planets, and how many of those have been around long enough to have life on them, [and] long enough to communicate. Even if you put tiny numbers in, there should be thousands of communicating civilizations out there. The sand represents stars, the silver glitter represents stars with planets and blue is stars with earthlike planets.
Was this your kids' glitter, or is it industrial-grade?
I'm still finding glitter around.

Downtown Montauk will get an additional 40 parking spaces before the summer season begins. What's more, the $10 parking fee at the town-owned Kirk Park parking lot will be lifted this year in the hope that more people will park there rather than taking up spots that should be used by shoppers and restaurant patrons, East Hampton Town Councilwoman Julia Prince told the Montauk Citizens Advisory Committee on April 4.
The move is an effort to address parking problems that have plagued Montauk residents in recent years as the hamlet gets busier and people take up downtown spaces to go to the beach for the day rather than pay for a permit or pay parking fees. If the town doesn't have to pay for an attendant at the Kirk Park lot, it could add another traffic control officer, Ms. Prince said.
Parking spaces along the street north of the downtown green in front of Bridgehampton National Bank will be reconfigured to make more room.
Others will be added on South Edgemere Road just east of the Born Free Motel, a block up from the ocean beach, with six more at the public parking lot at White's Drug and Department Store. The spaces will be regraded, regraveled, and, in some cases, repainted.
The town, Ms. Prince said, took another look at a study done years ago that identified 103 parking spaces in the hamlet. "When we need more now, we know where we can look," she said of the study.
Moreover, in an effort to alleviate expected traffic jams this summer at the Montauk I.G.A. and the 7-Eleven, the East Hampton Town Police Department has recommended that the I.G.A. have a one-way entrance off Montauk Highway and a one-way exit out the back of the lot. As it stands, drivers are prohibited from making a left turn out of the supermarket's parking lot, but that is a violation that is hard to enforce, the police told Ms. Prince.
Ms. Prince said that soon "no stopping" signs will be put at the east and west corners of the Kirk Park lot on Montauk Highway. Committee members had requested "no parking" signs to prevent people from parking on the highway and stopping at a food vending wagon in the lot. They said doing so was dangerous. "At least you'll get a bit of relief," Ms. Prince said.
Also last week, the committee learned that the stop-work order issued to the Empire Gas Station has been lifted. It was issued on March 18 for the addition of a third gas-dispensing station that the permit did not cover. The gas station's owners have agreed to remove the pumping station and will soon apply for site plan review for exterior work on the building.

Maintenance Planning Center (MPC)
Maintenance Planning Center (MPC)
All workforce support resides within the newly developed Maintenance Planning Center. This includes performance metrics that are constantly measured and distributed to the field teams to gauge the success of the maintenance effort and identify improvement opportunities.
The information is gathered electronically by field personnel using barcode scanners to collect all daily activities including type of work, location, training, meetings, etc. The information is then downloaded into the MAXIMO maintenance management system where the information can be reported in any number of ways. These metrics are then used as an integral part of our asset management program.
The Maintenance Planning Center is comprised of 5 major functions:
Customer Service Section
All incoming work requests are processed and electronically routed to field teams transmitting critical information such as the nature of the problem, location, contact person and phone number. Technicians use this information in addition to other essential data such as response time, problem identification, parts, and labor and work status.
The Technical Services Section
Service contracts are used to support the field teams, provide project management for the replacement of equipment and to assist the Capital Facilities Division when specifying building systems.
The Contract Compliance Section
Responsible for the administration of several large, County-wide Buildings and Grounds contracts such as janitorial and landscaping. Also responsible for the County's Indigent Burial Program which includes cemetery maintenance, gravesite preparation, funeral arrangements and record keeping activities.
The Preventative Maintenance Planning Section
Manages the Preventive Maintenance program for all County-owned facilities. This section is also staffed with a team of highly trained and certified personnel using predictive analysis technology. This technology is used to analyze critical building systems while they are under full operating conditions avoiding the need for building shutdowns. Equipment such as Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) scanning cameras are a typical example.

Letter to the Senate urging support for the Reid and Byrd Economic Recovery Act of 2008
November 18, 2008
Dear Senator:
On behalf of the National Education Association's (NEA) 3.2 million members, we strongly urge you to VOTE YES on the Reid and Byrd Economic Recovery Act of 2008.
As educators, NEA members are witnessing the impacts of the economic crisis firsthand. Schools are seeing record numbers of students who are homeless or poor enough to qualify for free school meals, and record numbers of students needing donated backpacks and school supplies, because their families cannot afford to buy them. Rising fuel costs are forcing school districts to take drastic measures, including trimming or eliminating bus service, cutting all field trips, and shortening the school week. Some states have already been forced to layoff school staff.
According to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, at least 41 states faced or are facing shortfalls in their budgets for this and/or next year. Over half the states had already cut spending, used reserves, or raised revenues in order to adopt a balanced budget for the current fiscal year. Now, their budgets have fallen out of balance again. New gaps have opened up in the budgets of at least 31 states plus the District of Columbia just four months after they struggled to close the largest budget shortfalls seen since the recession of 2001. And these problems are expected to continue into next year. At least 16 states are cutting or proposing to cut K-12 and early education; several of them are also reducing access to child care and early education, and at least 21 states have implemented or proposed cuts to public colleges and universities.
The Reid and Byrd Economic Recovery Act would help address these urgent needs, including by providing:
- $37.8 billion to reduce the States' share of Medicaid costs by increasing the Federal share by eight percent. Such an increase is a proven, effective way to provide relief to states and protect the health care of millions of Americans.
- Job creation through investments in infrastructure, including school construction. The package includes $2.5 billion for school construction, an amount that would create tens of thousands of jobs.
- An extension of unemployment assistance to those who have exhausted their benefits.
- Increases in food stamp benefits and other nutrition assistance for families struggling to survive in the face of rapidly rising food prices.
- Funds for job training, including $600 million for youth training and dislocated workers, $200 million for the Community Services Block Grant, and $36 million for homeless education. These funds would provide 160,000 dislocated workers and youth with education, training, counseling, and job search assistance.
Again, we strongly urge your support for this package.
Diane Shust, Director of Government Relations
Randall Moody, Manager of Federal Advocacy

I use the JSON service. Everything runs fine but the data for 2017 Jan 1 to Jan 21 for NBC xmltvid 20358 has nothing but Family Feud and news on week night prime time over the next three weeks. My TiVo Guide has the same. Lots of shows are returning the first week of Jan yet they are not in the listing.
Any idea what's up?
