Breaking down our plans for you.
Take a look at what you'll get with a VSP individual or family insurance plan:
- Great savings on eye exams (covered with most plans)
- A dollar allowance (amount varies by plan) toward glasses and/or contacts
- Top-quality lenses covered after your affordable copay
- Savings on optional lens enhancements (features like scratch resistance, anti-glare, no-line bifocal/trifocal, and light-to-dark tinting)
Why get an eye exam?
In addition to evaluating your vision, an eye exam can help you detect general health issues well before other signs become apparent. Early detection of issues like diabetes or hypertension means you can more easily manage them before they become bigger problems.
Have questions?
Read the frequently asked questions below to learn more.
Q. Why do I need a vision insurance plan?
A. You only get one set of eyes. A vision plan from VSP will help you take care of them and save money at the same time. But vision insurance is more than that. Taking good care of your vision is important to your overall health. During your eye exam, the doctor can detect early signs of serious general health conditions so you can manage them before they become more difficult problems. This can include things like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Q. How does VSP insurance work?
A. VSP is different from other types of insurance you might be used to. Take car insurance, for example — you hope you never have to use it. But with vision insurance, you actually want to use it because it will save you money on expenses you already know are coming. With VSP, you'll receive services at rates well below walk-in prices, and you don't even need an ID card — any VSP doctor can access your plan coverage. All you have to do is make your appointment, get your exam, select your frames and lens options, and the doctor's office will take care of the rest. You pay any copays or overage right there at the doctor's office, and you're done. It's that simple. And don't forget: you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) for out-of-pocket costs at the doctor's office. You can choose a vision insurance plan for individuals or to cover you and a dependent or to cover the whole family (children under 27 or disabled at any age). Each member gets the same great coverage.
Q. How much money will I save with a vision plan?
A. The money you save depends on the plan you choose and the selections you make at the doctor's office. The following chart shows a typical example of the savings you could enjoy. The more lens enhancements you opt for, the more you'll save. Plus, you can add to your savings by using your Health Savings Account (HSA) for your copays and out-of-pocket costs.
|Comprehensive Exam
|$15 copay
|Rx Lenses
Single, bifocal or trifocal
|$25 copay
|Optical Lens Enhancements
such as scratch resistance,
anti-glare, etc.
|VSP Plan Premium
* Comparison based on national averages for comprehensive eye exams and most commonly purchased brands. This chart represents a typical savings for VSP members.
Annual Savings $244 With VSP® After plan cost
Q. Is my doctor covered?
A. There's a good chance your doctor is covered. Our provider network is the largest in the country, with more than 36,000 doctors to choose from. To know for sure, go to Find A Doctor and enter your ZIP code.
Q. When can I start using my vision plan?
A. Once you've enrolled in an annual plan, you can begin using your benefits in as soon as five business days.
Q. What frame brands are covered with VSP vision insurance?
A. Whether you're looking for classic frames or trendy styles, you'll find the best selection of frames at your VSP doctor's office. You can use your allowance toward any frame that your VSP doctor carries. Plus, we offer an additional $40 to spend on bebe®, Calvin Klein, Columbia, Dragon and Flexon® frames, or an Extra $20 to spend on these frame brands:
- Airlock
- Altair
- Anne Klein
- Calvin Klein Collection
- Calvin Klein Platinum
- Chloé
- Cole Haan
- Etro
- Genesis
- G-Star RAW
- JOE Joseph Abboud
- Joseph Abboud
- Karl Lagerfeld

- Liu Jo
- Marchon NYC
- Nautica
- Nike
- Nine West
- Otis & Piper
- Revlon
- Salvatore Ferragamo
- Sean John
- Sight for Students
- Skaga
- Sunlites
Q. What types of lens enhancements can I save on?
A. Our vision plans provide savings on many lens enhancements
- Scratch-resistant coating - A clear coating that is less likely to scratch than uncoated lenses.
- Anti-glare (anti-reflective) coating - A coating that increases a lens's light transmission. It also reduces the amount of light reflected from the lens surface and eliminates ghost images.
- Impact-resistant lenses - Lenses built from polycarbonate material, which is up to 10 times stronger than glass or plastic lenses.
- No-line bifocal (progressive) lenses - Progressive lenses are line-free, and their prescription strength gradually changes from distance to intermediate to near vision.
- Light-to-dark (photochromic adaptive) lenses - Light-sensitive lenses that darken when exposed to sunlight and lighten when sun exposure is reduced.
- UV protection - A lens treatment that absorbs the harmful portion of UV light found in sunlight.
- High-index lenses - These thinner, lighter lenses are designed to improve comfort and attractiveness for those with high prescriptions.
Q. How do I renew my plan annually?
A. Continuing your coverage is easy. Each year, your plan will automatically renew (we'll charge the same credit card you provide us during your initial enrollment). We'll remind you 60 days in advance of your renewal. If you wish to make any changes to your coverage, you can call our Customer Service at 800.785.0699.
Q. Do you offer a payment plan for the annual premium?
A. While we do not offer month-to-month plans, we do offer the option to break your annual rate into 12 installments paid monthly. If you choose the monthly payment option, you'll be paying for your annual policy in 12 equal installments regardless of when benefits are utilized. Payments will be automatically withdrawn from your account on or around the 15th of each month.
Q. What if I have other questions?
A. To speak with our award-winning customer service team, call 800.785.0699 and we'll be happy to help you. Our service center is open Monday through Friday from 7a.m. to 7p.m. Central Time.
Q. Why is vision health important?
A. You only get one set of eyes. Take care of them.
Your eyes not only affect how you see, but how you feel. Caring for your vision can lead to a better quality of life, including:
- Fewer headaches
- Better performance at school
- Less computer eye strain
- More effectiveness at work
- Better performance in sports
It all starts with an eye exam.
Q. Why get an eye exam?
A. In addition to evaluating your vision, an eye exam can help you detect general health issues well before other signs become apparent. Early detection of issues like diabetes or hypertension means you can more easily manage them before they become bigger problems.

Ole, ole ole, ole. The most thrilling and visceral experience of any visit to Buenos Aires is probably donning a fluffy blue and yellow hat and bouncing along with the tribal fanatics of Maradona's beloved team. The intoxicating display of the leaping and singing multitude is often more exciting than the game on the pitch. There is no more intense encounter than Boca Juniors playing their rivals River Plate. But any visit to Boca Juniors' intimate Bombonera stadium will be an adventure that you'll never forget. A word of warning, hang on to your wallet!

Possibly even a more essential cut than the wonderful steak is the offal. The chorizo and morcilla (black pudding) will usually be accompanied by crispy chinchulines (chitterling), briny riñon (liver) and the truly delectable molleja (sweetbread). As they arrive on your plate, you could be forgiven for a wobble at the sight of their biological appearance. But if you persist, you'll be treated to a quintessentially Argentinian feast. Don't forget your camera - it will be great for grossing out your friends when you get home. You can try them at La Brigada.

Not quite as seedy as they sound, telos, as they are known in Buenos Aires slang, are rented by the hour and offer as much fun as you can have, well, with your clothes off. When you check into one of these albergue transitorios, identified by neon lights and a token shrub outside the door to offer the pretence of anonymity, you and a loved one can enjoy a couple of hours frolicking on water beds under mirrored ceilings, in all manner of themed rooms. Head to Rampa Car.
See all hotels
Forty-five minutes from the noise and smog of downtown is an almost unspoilt subtropical delta full of densely forested islands and shining waterways. Hop on to a river bus and enjoy a boozy picnic. See www.tigre.gov.ar.
No, honestly. Every half hour on the quarter hour, a 20-metre plastic Jesus rises from the earth (also made out of plastic) at the wonderfully surreal Tierra Santa, the world's first religious theme park (www.tierrasanta-bsas.com.ar).

Losing yourself in a labyrinth of tombs and mausoleums might sound like an Edgar Allen Poe short story. But Cementerio de la Recoleta, a remarkable necropolis in one of BA's most exclusive areas, is the final resting place of the good, the bad and the beautiful people of Argentina's past. When you find the crowd, you have found Evita's ghostly flower-strewn monument.

Brunch at this super-chilled Scandinavian Olsen restaurant is probably the best in the city. For those really suffering there is an ample vodka menu for hair of the dog remedies. Opulent and expensive, high tea at the Alvear Palace Hotel offers a glimpse into BA's past wealth and grandeur.
Blow the budget at El Bistro, possibly BA's most exciting restaurant, within the remarkable Faena Hotel + Universe. Headed by Mariano Cid de la Paza, a protégé of star Spanish chef Ferrán Adriá, the menu is as singular as the Philippe Starck-designed interior. Inspired by molecular gastronomy, 'spherifications' of olives and 'foams' of lettuce appear. Think of a Spanish omelette served in a martini glass.

The spirit of tango oozes from every corner of Buenos Aires. Milongas (tango nights) blend the familiarity of a social club with the elegance of a 1930s ballroom dance. Etiquette is king at venues such as La Calesita: men and women are seated on either sides and procuring a partner involves an intricate code of subtle nods and eyebrow twitches. The traditional milongas attract the older crowd, but several welcome novices: visit Tango Cool, La Viruta and La Marshall.

In Buenos Aires, you should drink a cup of freshly roasted coffee with a crispy medialuna (Argentinian croissant). A splendid place to bite into one is the Café Tortoni, the city's most traditional café. Founded in 1858, it has doubled as both a bohemian and literary joint over the years. The best part is that it hasn't lost any charm, despite the throngs of tourists that hover around.
See all cafés and cafés-bars
One of the kings of the bar scene is Gran Bar Danzón. Although the food is great, crawlers rarely look beyond the drinks menu. The cocktails are ingenious and the vast wine list is mostly available by the glass. If that booze isn't enough for you, then browse through the Park Hyatt's vinoteca (wine bar), which is home to over 3,000 bottles of Argentinean reds and whites.
See all bars and pubs
With over 200 species of birds, scuttling iguanas as well as joggers and cyclists, the Reserva Ecólogica Constanera Sur is a multi-purpose green space. In this nature reserve, four lakes, giant pampas grass, willows and shrubs create a lush habitat for local wildlife, as well as keen exercisers. Here, you can join around 15,000 visitors who descend here to picnic and enjoy a spot of bird watching in peace. Moonlight tours are organised once in a while, but make sure that you book ahead of time.
See all parks and gardens, and zoo and wildlife parks
You can't leave Buenos Aires without a trip to Malba: Colección Costantini, where works by Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera and Tarsila do Amaral share the walls with lesser-known Argentinean modern masters. There is an excellent café and terrace restaurant, plus a small cinema specialising in art house retrospectives.
See all art spaces
The milky caramel syrup is the flavour of the city. You'll find it in sweet delights, ranging from cakes and bonbons to ice cream and crepes. We recommend trying dulce de leche in torta rogel, a crispy cake with layers of soft meringue at the upscale bakery-café Como en Casa; taking a light bite of some alfajores (round biscuits) at Florencio; or eating a filling flan at the cantina on Chico.
See all patisseries and bakeries
It's hard not to think of Evita when visiting the presidential palace, Casa Rosada. Check out the balcony on which the Peróns spoke to the people and the spot where Madonna belted out her famous Argentina ballad in the film Evita. Then head to the Museo Evita, housed in an aristocratic residence that Peron expropriated to convert into a women's shelter for his wife's welfare agency. Gaze at paintings and posters, as well as fabulous outfits (and jewellery) that she wore on tours of Europe.
See all museums and attractions
You may hear that San Telmo is dirty, run-down and unsafe (mainly at night). But don't let that stop you from looking for hidden gems on San Telmo's main drag, the Calle Defensa. Here, you can find antiques in the shops tucked away around every corner, many at bargain prices. To step back in time, visit the lovely Pasaje de la Defensa, a refurbished 1880 house spilling over with bric-a-brac stores. Alternatively, take a trip to El Zanjón de Granados, a beautifully restored residence, which encapsulates three centuries of urban living.
Once you've tanned, tangoed and drunk yourself silly, then it's time to go home. So don't forget to take a few souvenirs with you. Find a cool mate set for your morning coffee at the shop Estudio MW and a polo shirt from La Martina. Fill your cellar with traditional Malbec wine from any supermarket and if you're a collector of curios, a gaucho knife set is a must-buy from the stalls at Feria de Mataderos.

Long regarded as a sport for the elite and possibly the world's oldest sport, polo has made Argentina famous. The sport is played in Buenos Aires between September and November. The latter is the golden month when the Abierto Argentino de Palermo (Argentinean Open) takes place at the magnificent 16,000-capacity Campo Argentino de Polo. Beginners and experienced players can have lessons: El Rincon de Polo club is probably the best choice of school.

Carlos Gardel was to tango what Elvis was to rock 'n' roll. He is probably the most prominent figure in the history of ballroom dance. A new house museum, the Museo Casa Carlos Gardel, celebrates his legendary years in Buenos Aires, and you can pay your respects to him at the Cementerio la Chacarita. If you want to give tango a whirl, head to the Centro Cultural Torquato Tasso, a serious venue in which respected artists perform regularly. If you prefer to dip and swirl members of the same sex, then the gay milongas are the place to be. La Marshall and Tango Entre Muchachos are excellent venues for queer tango.
See all dance venues
Blend in with the hippest people in the city at the Niceto Club, undoubtedly one of the city's trendsetting nightspots. Traditional South American styles and rhythms mix with electronica, driving the crowd absolutely wild. Don't miss Wednesday's underground party Zizek, one of the best nights in town.
See all clubs and DJ bars
While international designers are always popular, local couturiers command top peso these days. At the Palermo Viejo, you can discover funky boutiques that stock the latest fashions. Consider Cecilia Gadea's romantic range, inspired by ocean waves, or the willowy bohemian look of Mariana Dappiano. Sift through Maria Cher's eclectic collection of cocktail dresses and enter a world of fantasy when you gaze at Martin Churba's experimental prints.

Planning starts for opening of new NH-Maine bridge
PORTSMOUTH, N.H. — The new Memorial Bridge connecting New Hampshire and Maine is still on track to open this summer.
But the exact date is still to be determined.
Transportation officials say when the contractor in charge is satisfied the lift bridge is operating smoothly, maintenance crews will need specialized training to take over operations.
Even when the bridge opens, its approaches and other areas will still be under construction into the fall.
The bridge is replacing a nearly 90-year-old bridge connecting Portsmouth to Kittery, Maine.
With the bridge under construction and Sarah Mildred Long Bridge closed for repairs, the only bridge between the cities open to traffic is the Piscataqua River Bridge on Interstate 95.


text: Glasnow fans 10 in Power's 4-2 win over Greenville By Ryan Pritt May 7, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia Power starter Tyler Glasnow was back at it again, showing off the potential and the frontline stuff that could make him a valuable major-league pitcher not too far down the road.Glasnow has been able to overcome brief stints of wildness so far in his young career, and thus was the case again against Greenville Tuesday in a five-inning performance that helped the Power earn a 4-2 win in the second game of the four-game series.Glasnow struck out 10 and yielded just one hit and one earned run, becoming the first West Virginia pitcher to reach double digits in strikeouts since Kyle McPherson struck out 10 against Delmarva on May 19, 2010.His punchout total included striking out the side in the fourth and fifth frames, and his 94-mph-plus fastball and hard, downward-biting hook proved too much for Greenville to handle."The way the ball comes out of his hand is unbelievable," Power manager Michael Ryan said. "You don't see that around much. He was locating his off-speed, and anytime he does that he's going to be tough. He's going to be special."Dominant outings have been nothing uncommon for Glasnow so far this season as his neat and tidy 1.80 season ERA stayed perfectly intact and he is yielding less than a half a hit per inning."It felt good warming up and I just carried it over to the game," Glasnow said. "I had confidence in my defense and I could just kind of go out and throw. It really felt instinctual today. I wasn't really thinking of anything today, I just went out and threw." His ERA could be lower than that if not for walks. Glasnow has struck out 33 in 25 innings across six starts this season, but he has also issued 17 free passes, including four on Tuesday.One of those walks finally hurt Glasnow in the fifth inning as Greenville catcher Jayson Hernandez used the only hit of the game, a double off the wall, to score Kevin Mager, who had walked two batters earlier.Glasnow issued another walk in the inning and was pulled after five innings.But a bit of inconsistency is to be expected from a 19-year-old making his way through low Class A ball. He and Ryan were looking at the positives on Tuesday, and there were a lot of them. "Impressive outing by him," Ryan said. "We have the ability to do that. We have some power arms that have secondary and third pitches that are as good as their fastball. If Tyler can get his breaking ball over it just makes his fastball that much more better, and it seems like he's throwing even harder.""I came out trying to do way too much [at the beginning of the season]," Glasnow said. "Now I'm just trusting my stuff and throwing and it's making it a lot easier."Luckily for Glasnow, that one Greenville run didn't hurt as the Power offense provided the pitching staff with a cushion early.The Power's Wyatt Mathisen scored the game's first run after Walker Gourley drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the second and D.J. Crumlich also scored in the frame on an RBI groundout from Ashley Ponce. An RBI single from Raul Fortunato in the third inning gave Glasnow and the bullpen all the cushion it would need.Fortunato, Josh Bell, and Junior Sosa each notched two-hit games for the Power (14-16), with Sosa doubling to account for the team's only extra-base hit.Pat Ludwig threw a scoreless ninth inning for his first save of the season.Hernandez and Mookie Betts each had a pair of hits for the Drive (10-20).The teams will play the final two games of the series in a doubleheader starting this morning at 10:30 a.m.POWER POINTS: Tuesday's win marked just the second time West Virginia has won a game in which it has scored five or fewer runs. The Power's first such win came on Friday in a win over Greensboro. The team is now 2-13 in such contests. ... Walker Gourley extended his six-game hitting streak with a single in the bottom of the eighth inning while Stetson Allie saw his six-gamer snapped with an 0-for-3 night.

Update: Follow-up news release issued Dec. 18, 2008.
Game Wardens Continue Search for Missing Boater on Richland Chambers Lake
CORSICANA, Texas — Texas game wardens continue to search Richland Chambers Lake today for the victim of a boating accident that occurred early Sunday morning.
The boat was returning from a restaurant to a private residence on the lake when it struck a submerged object near the U.S. Highway 287 bridge and sank. Nine passengers made it safely to shore, but the individual said to be the boat operator did not.
Missing is Charles Andrew (Chase) Bergfeld, 23, of Conroe. Bergfeld is a student at Texas A&M University.
Game wardens have been joined in the search by members of the Corsicana Volunteer Fire Department, the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office Dive Team and, currently on-site, the Lewisville Fire Department Dive Team.
The search has been made more difficult due to adverse weather conditions, including strong wind, sleet and rain.
The American Red Cross is supporting recovery efforts from shore.
"We'll be here every day until we recover the victim," said Game Warden Capt. Gary Dugan.
Investigators say that alcohol may have been a factor in the accident, though it is too early to know to what extent.
As of Nov. 30, there had been 253 boating accidents in Texas for the year, resulting in 52 fatalities and 158 injuries. Alcohol is believed to have been a factor in 15 of the fatalities.
The investigation into the accident is ongoing. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department will update news media as soon as the victim is recovered.

For me, peering over a field at a windmill whirling in the breeze recalls the "peaceful, easy feeling" from the lyrics of that popular Eagles' song.
Of course, nowadays the picturesque wooden windmill of old is just that as the possibility of harnessing the wind to alleviate our energy woes takes on a high-tech feel. In fact, says Business Librarian Mike DePue, who has researched the topic from his office at the Library Center, the "winds of change are blowing even in Missouri."
He says it's "not a futuristic pipe dream. It's been happening for about a year now, making Rock Port in extreme northwest Missouri, the first U.S. community to be fully powered by the wind."
But before we Missourians get too excited about using the wind to power our homes, DePue cautions: "Wind speed maps make it clear that significant portions of the state have little potential for wind energy production, given today's technology. Barry and Lawrence are among only 34 or 30% of Missouri's 115 counties that have real present potential."
He says that the northwest has the greatest potential, from St. Joseph north to the Iowa border, but "even there, existing wind farms have produced power 36% to 38% of the time and not only are wind speeds sometimes too low, but they also can be too high for safe operation."
According to DePue, new technologies, such as braking control on a wind turbine's rotor, may help make wind power generation more feasible. "Braking controls would speed up and slow down as needed to store energy as mechanical rather than electrical. When the wind's electrical generation falls below average, the kinetic or mechanical energy would be released to generate electricity."
Another innovation called STAR for Sweep Twist Adaptive Rotor is a gentle curved tip specifically designed for Midtwestern wind conditions.

Supporting Innovation in Student Teachers
Student teaching represents the threshold between being an education student and a career as a teacher. After years of classes in educational theory and methods and smaller field experiences, students are placed in a classroom full time alongside a cooperating teacher to gain the skills they need to be successful in their profession. The School of Education, Teaching, and Health in AU's College of Arts and Sciences works to ensure that education students are prepared through coursework, and also allows them to pursue opportunities to innovate and lead while they are still in training.
Ariel Villano '13 identified a problem in the school where she was doing her student teaching and devised a system to resolve this challenge with support from SETH's Lynne Ganek Grant for Innovation in Education.
"I'm a firm believer that, as educators, we need to focus on developing the whole person," says Villano. "Of course, it is important that students leave our classrooms with solid reading, writing, and mathematics skills. But, it is just as important that our students learn and practice skills related to their social, emotional, and physical health—especially in the primary grades."
Villano and her cooperating teacher observed that many of their students were either homeless, had an incarcerated parent, or both, and were not learning many of these skills at home. In their school, located in southeast D.C., 99 percent of students qualify for free and reduced meals, an indicator of poverty. Villano decided to apply for the Ganek grant to create an emotional health and life skills curriculum to help students think about some of these issues they may not otherwise be exposed to.
"In the modern world of education, with such heavy emphasis on academic achievement and its measurement, there unfortunately isn't always time to explicitly teach emotional health and life skills," she says. "This grant was an opportunity to do that."
The Ganek Family Student Teacher Mini-Grants program was established in 2007 by longtime AU student teacher supervisor and instructor Lynne Ganek to allow student teachers to test out new methodologies and innovative lesson ideas with their cooperating teachers in D.C. area classrooms. By encouraging student teachers to try new methods, Ganek hoped to encourage teachers in training to create projects they and their peers could use when in the classroom full time.
"Ariel's Ganek project exemplifies the type of problem solving that we want our teachers to be able to do upon graduating," says Julie Sara Boyd, director of teacher education. "She saw a problem and recognized that 'traditional' teaching and learning would not be a solution."
Prior to implementing their project, Villano worked with her cooperating teacher to assess their students' needs. "We really paid attention to their needs—we noted what conflicts they had in the classroom, on the playground, and at lunch and how the students tended to solve these conflicts," says Villano. "We used these observations to drive the trajectory of our curriculum."
From teaching her students how to handle anger effectively to reacting appropriately when someone was bothering them, Villano's project challenged students to learn about ways to control themselves and their emotions. "We wanted the students to walk away from the project with more than just a factual understanding of a new topic; we wanted them to walk away with skills that they could use for years to come."
One way Villano did this was through the "chill-out chair."
"One of our students would engage in either physical violence or shouting every 20 minutes during literacy time," says Villano. "But after we worked on these self-control techniques with him, he became very good at going to the chill-out chair located in a different part of the classroom and returning calmer and ready to handle the situation differently."
The second aspect of the project allowed Villano to set up a mentorship program between her students and AU volunteers. Through letters and in-person visits, these mentors communicated with students about the challenges they were facing as well as their normal everyday activities. According to Villano, having a new person in their lives as a mentor and friend gave students an alternative way to express their feelings and emotions.
"Many of the students in our classroom would quickly resort to physical violence or shouting when they were angry or faced with a conflict," says Villano. "I wanted the students to learn that there were other ways of handling these emotions—ways that left them feeling happier and solved their problems more effectively."
"It took me many years of teaching to be able to accomplish what Ariel did in one semester," says Boyd. "The Ganek Award allows for this to happen."
For Villano, education is about more than simply instruction. "All children, regardless of their race, socioeconomic status, or zip code, deserve a free education of exceptional quality," she says. "It is our responsibility as a society to provide that for all of our youth, and I want to be a part of that movement."

Merrimack, N.H., Amajority of Brookstone shareholders voted to approve the company's sale to a consortium led by OSIM International Ltd., a Singapore-listed healthy lifestyle products company. Brookstone shareholders will get $20 per share in cash. Based on the company's 20.44 million common shares outstanding, the deal values Brookstone at $408.8 million.
"We believe this merger offers great value to our shareholders and a tremendous opportunity for our company going forward," said Brookstone's Michael Anthony, CEO, president and chairman. "OSIM will be a strategic partner with product development capabilities extremely complementary to those of Brookstone's. In addition, we believe that OSIM's expertise in operating stores in Asia will help Brookstone to expand its retail concept globally."

David A. Keene, the president of the National Rifle Association, will travel to Colorado next week for a meeting with Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper.
A spokesman with Hickenlooper's office confirmed the meeting will take place on Thursday, Feb. 7 and came at the request of Keene.
No further details of the meeting were offered, but it comes at a time when state Democrats -- who now control the legislature -- prepare to present legislation that aims to require background checks on the private sale of guns and a ban on ammunition magazines of more than 10-cartridges.
In his state of the state address earlier this month, Hickenlooper voiced support for universal background checks on firearms.
The NRA could not be immediately reached for comment about next week's meeting.
The national gun advocacy group has been a vocal opponent of tougher gun laws in the wake of mass shootings in a movie theater in Aurora and at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
I have recently had several requests from people asking for resources to learn about Big Data and Hadoop. Below is a list of resources that I typically recommend. I'll update this list as I find more resources. Let's crowdsource this... Tell me your favorite resources and I'll get them on the list!
Books and Whitepapers
for Big Data Free e-book
primer on the general Big Data space. This is always my recommendation
for people who are new to Big Data and are trying to understand it.
The Definitive Guide by Tom White
will dive deep under the hood of Hadoop. This should not be a first book
for someone who is just starting with Hadoop, Map Reduce or Big Data.
Make sure you don't get the first edition. The third edition is the best
as it also dedicates a chapter to HBase, Hive, and other tools in the ecosystem
that are important to understand.
Pig by Alan Gates
(and entertaining) book about Pig. The first chapter is a really good
primer on Hadoop.
Hive By Edward Capriolo, Dean Wampler, Jason Rutherglen (est publication date
Nothing to say
about this book yet – it isn't yet released.
I will add a quick blurb when I have a chance to read it.

Hot off the virtual press, the SQL Server Separation of Duties Whitepaper is now available! SQL Server 2008 R2 provides the full breadth of tools to support restrictive compliance and security requirements. This whitepaper will associate the features and options available in SQL Server 2008 R2 to meet the varying separation of duties requirements to enable the DBA to be productive and responsive while protecting applications and sensitive data.
Key concepts in the whitepaper are:
I hope you enjoy the paper! :-)
Have you ever heard of these types of requests? True story! I have had each of these and many more:
Managing security is never easy, and these additional requirements can cause a lot of distress to those who are trying to provide the right level of security while protecting their data, databases, and server infrastructure. Grant too many privileges, and you open up your environment to a host of potential issues. Grant too few privileges, and the users and administrators are unable to do their jobs.
Enter the Separation of Duties Framework. The Separation of Duties Framework was originally designed to address the separation of DBA from sysadmin, but this framework may also be used to temporarily grant users elevation of privileges in a controlled and auditable environment. The SQL Server Separation of Duties Framework will ease the process of setting up a restrictive environment while providing a predefined set of processes a DBA may use to manage restricted instances and sensitive databases. The Separation of Duties Framework is designed to empower the DBA team (or users) to be productive and responsive with processes that are auditable, secure, and extensible while being easy to implement and manage.
The Separation of Duties Framework was originally released in November 2010. Brian Davis (blog and twitter) and I just released v2.0 of the framework. The framework will create database roles, signed stored procedures, and the securables needed to support the environment. The framework is set up in the following steps:
More details on the installation process are available with the download. Brian Davis and I will also be following up with some additional blogs with details on the framework over the next few weeks.
Every now and then customers ask me how they can suggest changes or behavior changes to SQL Server. Many of us are aware of Connect, where you can add feature recommendations and vote on other people's suggestions. There are a LOT of recommendations, and I know Microsoft values your feedback and suggestions. Sometimes these recommendations are grand, and others are small – in either case, your votes do make a difference on how Microsoft prioritizes features and changes in future releases.
Recently, a couple of customers have talked to me about their recommendations. The first I will highlight was officially submitted by Joe Sack on behalf of his customer who would like to rename a named instance (not the server name): https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/341638/rename-sql-server-instance-name-not-server-name. This customer is in the process of upgrading to SQL Server 2008 and discovered that several applications have hard-coded the instance name in the application. They want to minimize the downtime, and hoped that they could install side-by-side and rename the instance. Unfortunately, this is not supported. Because of this issue, an upgrade in this scenario will require more downtime as they will need to uninstall and reinstall the instance.
If this is something that you consider important, please take the time to vote on the connect submission.

Since I joined Microsoft over 2 1/2 years ago, many of my friends and colleagues ask me how I like it and how things are going. To be more precise, often these friends tip their heads to the side and ask with great concern "How are you doing? Are you working all the time?". In many cases, I think this would be the same manner that they may have inquired on my state after a death in the family:-) I don't begrudge anyone for how they approach me in my choice to join Microsoft, and fully appreciate how Microsoft may be viewed from the outside – particularly since I was once on the outside and full of the misconceptions that my entire life outside of Microsoft would halt if I ever joined the organization.
My answer to these questions is a resounding "I am doing great!" and "I am not working more than I did before." followed by an unsolicited "Best career decision I have ever made!" In fact, many people may not realize that I actually joined Microsoft to achieve a better balance between my work and personal life while still making a positive impact on the larger community. I can hear many people out there scoffing and laughing, but this was my motivation and I can happily say that my family has much better balance than before I joined Microsoft!
Now to the point of this post: Microsoft is holding a series of webcasts to promote various Microsoft technical roles in the services organization. Anyone is welcome to attend, and we are specifically highlighting several women in our organization who are in technical roles. There are a large number of technical roles at Microsoft, and these are but a few that may resonate with you.

The Enterprise Policy Management Framework version 3.0, a new version of the framework to support policy automated policy evaluation for SQL Server 2000 and 2005, has been posted to codeplex.
For those who are not familiar with the tool, the Enterprise Policy Management Framework is a reporting solution on the state of the SQL Server enterprise against a desired state defined in a policy. The key capabilities are to extend Policy-Based Management to all SQL Server instances in the enterprise, including SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. The EPM Framework will automate a scheduled evaluation of a set of policies against a group of servers, and provide reports for DBAs to understand where they have instances and database objects which are not complying with an organization's defined standards.
The new 3.0 release includes the following enhancements:
Supports nested server groups in the Central Management Server
The previous versions did not support Central Management Server groups that were nested in parent groups. This restriction has been removed and you may now design CMS groups to fit your organization, and leverage these groups for the EPM Framework.
A new parameterized PowerShell execution
The PowerShell script has been updated with parameters. This enhancement will significantly ease how you may deploy the solution, so you only have a single script to manage. The previous versions would have required multiple versions of the PowerShell script you were to design the execution strategy by server group and policy category.
Policy results are stored in a table format
The new version 3.0 will shred the policy result XML document to a PolicyHistoryDetail table during the evaluation. The previous version only stored the XML data and issued queries against XML results stored in a SQL Server table named PolicyHistory. This update will greatly improve performance during reporting and provides a better platform for the community to build customized views and reports. This could also improve storage – you can purge the data in the PolicyHistory table if you do not require the XML results.
New Report Parameters
Based on feedback from the community, the new version includes parameters in the reports to support filtering by Central Management Server group. This will be a very important criteria for large organizations who would like to focus on specific groups of instances.
Fixes to error reporting logic
Not much to say, other than the logic that identifies errors stored in the tables is fixed.
Updated Documentation
The documentation has been updated, and should be much easier to follow when setting up the framework.

You will need at least one instance of SQL Server 2008 and an instance of SQL Server 2008 Reporting Services to support the framework. I will dive deeper into installation and configuration of the framework in subsequent blogs.
Please let me know if you are using the framework, and if you have suggestions for future enhancements. I am going to be integrating SQL Server 2008 Policy History centralization into the framework in the next version.
A very well written study of the compression is now available: Data Compression - Strategy, Capacity Planning and Best Practices. This study provides guidance on best practices for designing, implementing and managing compression in your environment. I found this whitepaper to be full of useful guidance and scripts to monitor and manage compressed tables.
The paper starts with tips and tools to help decide what to compress. It then guides the reader through considerations for implementing compression and estimating necessary resources to complete compression. The final sections of the paper provide guidance and evidence on management topics – space management, performance management, partition management.
I am certain that those who are considering compression will find these concepts, scripts and tools to support the full lifecycle of compression. I know that I will keep this on my short list of favorite whitepapers!
This past week I was delivering some events for customers on supporting Mission Critical databases with SQL Server 2008. During the compliance conversation I mentioned that there were a couple of new resources available related specifically to PCI compliance.
Parente Randolph published a whitepaper on how to leverage SQL Server 2008 features to meet PCI compliance.
Furthermore, these auditors presented a TechNet webcast on the same subject.
I would also highly recommend the SQL Server 2008 Compliance Guide which will complement the above resources with technical implementation examples.
This week Thales announced that their nCipher product line now integrates with SQL Server 2008 EKM. This announcement follows SafeNet as our second vendor to support EKM.
Isn't life grand when you have a standard approach? That is typically my frame of mind, which is one reason why I advocate for a standard approach to designing, deploying and managing your SQL Server 2008 audits. I have developed the attached standardized scripts which should get you started on your standardized approach.
The script SetupAudit_Shell is a single SQLCMD script that will create the Audit, the Server Audit Specification, and a Database Audit Specification in every user database (except Model and TempDB). The script is written to send the audit data to a file destination. You will need to alter this part of the statement if you prefer to send your audit data to the Windows Security or Application log. The Server Audit Specification and the Database Audit Specification statements do not specify the audit action groups – you will need to supply these based on what you want to audit.
The script SetupDataAccessAudit_Shell is a script to alter an existing Database Audit Specification with table level audit actions. This will apply the exceptions to your standard audit when compliance goals require you audit DML activity from tables which store sensitive data.
The remaining scripts (DisableAudit_Shell, EnableAudit_Shell, RemoveAudit_Shell) are scripts to help manage the audits which are deployed with the defined standards.
I love auditing! I know – I hear it all the time – I am very strange:-) Since I first started working with SQL Server 2008 in the early CTP process, Auditing was near or at the top of my favorite features in the new version. Below are some of my top resources to help you understand auditing – and build some great solutions to centralize auditing data from multiple sources.
A new whitepaper was recently published as a comprehensive description of the new feature, followed by comparisons of capability and performance with other methods to collect and store audit data. This whitepaper is a great resource for anyone who is researching methods to implement an auditing capability.
In addition to the excellent whitepaper just mentioned above, the SQL Server 2008 Compliance Guide is another great resource for understanding how to implement and manage your SQL Server 2008 Audit feature and data. Please be sure to download the complementary SDK which includes some helpful solutions to jump start your audit initiative. I am particularly impressed with the materials in the SDK co-developed by Denny Lee (Microsoft SQL CAT) which centralize audit data from multiple sources to a single audit warehouse – complete with reports! When you download the SDK, you will find the various solution files (SQL scripts, SSIS and SSRS projects) in the SQL Audit folder. This is a great solution to get you started on compliance reporting across a number of instances.
I will be releasing some additional audit materials in the next couple of weeks. These will include enhancements to the reporting available in the SDK (let's pull audit and Policy history data together!), and standardized master audit scripts to generate consistent audits across all instances and databases. If you are in the St. Paul/Minneapolis area, please consider attending the upcoming TechFuse conference on March 17 to see these materials in action. Can you think of a better way to spend St. Patrick's Day? :-)
The next version of the Enterprise Policy Management Framework has been published to CodePlex. The new version includes error trapping and error reporting, and a few bug fixes. Please be sure to download the documentation as well, which will help you understand how to use the PowerShell variables to scale the execution in your environment.
A new whitepaper has been published outlining the intent of the Enterprise Policy Management Framework. A big thank you to Tom Davidson for all of the hard work writing the paper.
Finally, anyone who is interested in an introduction to Policy-Based Management and a demonstration of the EPM Framework in action can attend my TechNet webcast next Thursday, March 12: TechNet Webcast: Governing Your Enterprise with Policy-Based Management (Level 300). This webcast is best suited for those of you who…:
Join in the webcast, it is sure to be fun and enlightening! In short, you will walk away with an understanding of Policy-Based Management, how to use the SQL Server 2008 Policy-Based Management framework to support down-version (SQL Server 2000 and 2005) policy evaluation, and how to implement the EPM framework (see picture below) for an understanding of policy compliance across the enterprise.
For those out there like me who find a weird sense of joy by discovering math patterns in our daily life, Happy Square Root Day!

CLEARLAKE -- The "$1 for Kids" fundraising drive, benefiting the Clearlake Youth Center, takes place Saturday at six locations in the city.
"My thought is if everyone donates $1 in Clearlake, we can raise $15,000 towards the youth center," Councilwoman Joyce Overton said.
The drive will help raise money to finish renovations and help with programs, she added. Several significant projects, including the roof, kitchen and heating and air units, still need to be completed.
People interested in contributing can drop off their dollar Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Walmart, Foods Etc., The Elegant Touch, KMOB Radio, Lake County Fire Protection District headquarters and City Plaza Mall & Indoor Flea Market.
For more information, contact Overton 350-2898.

They've both epic, open-world titles, but Ubisoft has touted a key difference between its title Watch Dogs and Rockstar's rival Grand Theft Auto V.
That being that it is being developed natively on next-gen.
"With Watch Dogs we hope to create our biggest brand, like when we launched Assassin's Creed six or seven years ago," Ubisoft's executive director for EMEA territories Alain Corre told Edge. "What we want with Watch Dogs is to try and crack a new genre, which is the open-style GTA genre.
"Yes, Grand Theft Auto is one of the biggest brands in the industry and everybody respects the brand and we'll have fun playing the next one too. But I think Watch Dogs' positioning is also on next-gen, bringing a lot of features – connectivity, interactivity, companion gaming and so on which is bringing some freshness to the genre.
"Watch Dogs is a next-gen native game. We are trying to implement in this game all of what the next-gen is bringing – more connectivity, more immersion and to make the game more interactive."
The publisher remains aware, however, that it still has a current-gen battle on its hands. With GTAV due out in September, even if Rockstar's game also decides to straddle the generational boundaries there's still plenty of spend to be won on Xbox 360 and PS3.
"While the next-gen is further advanced, we will also optimise all that we have and feed that into the current-gen consoles," Corre added. "Our engineers say that it will be possible to have a great experience on both next-gen and current-gen.
"We are going to try and optimise as much as we can and try to respect the abilities of the current-gen so that the experience that players have on current-gen is great – that's really important for us.
"Watch Dogs is super-important on next-gen, of course, but it is also on current-gen because it will take a while before every gamer we have will play on next-gen. We must respect our current situation."

SUPERMARINE coach Sean Millwaters said his team never recovered from giving up a 17-point head start to league leaders Bradford-on-Avon on Saturday.
The South Marston side did pull back within point in the second half but a late try gave Bradford the win.
The loss marked the end of a bad seven days for Marine, last week they learned they would be deducted five points for fielding an ineligble player and Saturday's loss means they are relying on other results to go in their favour if they are to win the league.
Marine are now five points behind Bradford and Minety but do still have a game in-hand. Millwaters stressed that his side did not perform poorly but that the visitors just had the edge defensively.
"You can't give a team at the top of the league a 17-point start. They seemed like they'd done a bit of homework on us, their defence was outstanding.
"We got ourselves back into the game and at 17-10 at half-timeI thought 'we're back in this'. At 17-16 were in it but they opened us up for another try.
"Though you can't afford 17 unanswered points against a side like Bradford, they played very well."
All is not lost for Marine's title hopes though.
Chippenham lost to Swindon 2nds and both Minety and Bradford have to travel to Allington Fields to play Chippenham before the season's out.
The fixture list and confidence in his side gives Millwaters hope that Marine can still win the title.
"I've thought for a while that this whole league will be decided on the last day, we're still sort of where I'd like us to be. We had a little bit of comfort blanket but after the points deduction and losing to Bradford we've lost that, now it's about putting three wins together."

Sweeping changes to the governance of world cricket have been approved at a meeting of the International Cricket Council board, with England, India and Australia handed newly powerful roles at the head of the organisation.
The 16-man board first discussed the controversial measures, which seek to overhaul "the governance, competition and financial models" of the ICC in Dubai on January 28, but voting on proposals was deferred until Saturday's follow-up meeting in Singapore.
The recommendations, which began life in a widely-leaked 'position paper' drafted by the so-called 'big three', were then passed with the required majority.
Cricket South Africa and the Bangladesh Cricket Board had gone public with reservations about the changes, but in the end only representatives from Pakistan and Sri Lanka chose to abstain as the remaining eight full members voted in favour.
Most of the resolutions passed by the ICC Board have been in the public sphere for some time, partly due to the leaked draft and partly as a result of the previous meeting in Dubai.
Although familiar, they remain profound alterations to the international game - not least in the way they empower three nations.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, England and Wales Cricket Board and Cricket Australia have been guaranteed three of the five seats on a new executive committee that will carry considerable influence, and three of the five on a revamped financial sub-committee.
The sense of an executive stranglehold by the boards who helped author these changes is emphasised by the fact that BCCI president N Srinivasan will become the new chair the ICC board, with CA's Wally Edwards chairing the ExCo and and ECB chairman Giles Clark continuing to do so for the financial committee.
The changes are not merely abstract ones affecting various committees, though, with changes to the current financial model forming a central plank of the proposals.
India, in particular, are understood to have been unhappy that their position as the most commercially attractive force in world cricket was not being recognised in revenues from global events.
In line with that the ICC board has agreed that full members will receive a greater share of central funds based largely on their own financial contribution, but also considering "their ICC history and their on-field performances in the three formats".
The ICC is keen to assert that no full member will be worse off than they are at present but, with broadcasting and sponsorship deals set to rise exponentially, the richest nations can expect to become disproportionately wealthier.
While this may appear to leave those at the lower end of the spectrum at a disadvantage, India's willingness to negotiate hard could have been the decisive factor.
Reports earlier this year suggested that the BCCI had considered withdrawing India from ICC events such as the World Cup and the World Twenty20, had a new distribution scheme not been agreed.
India's presence is so central to the appeal of such competitions that their market value would almost certainly plummet without it.
Although officially unconfirmed, the ICC appeared to give a nod to such considerations.
The statement read: "This decision (on finances) is the outcome of a negotiation between Members that has been required to provide long-term certainty of participation of all Members in both ICC events and bilateral series against other Members.
"Without that certainty, the rights for ICC events, which are to be taken to market this year, would have been significantly impacted and, by extension, so would the financial support that has driven the growth of cricket around the world.
"The agreement of the model has been an important part of a wider negotiation that will now provide long-term certainty of participation in ICC events by all of the Full Member teams."
As expected, a death sentence has been passed on the World Test Championship.
Once seen as the potential saviour of Test cricket, it has now been consigned to history before ever being contested. In its the place the 50-over Champions Trophy will return in 2017 and 2021.
In deference to the longer format, a Test cricket fund will be created, providing support to all full members except India, England and Australia.
Elsewhere, there was good news for Associate nations such as Ireland and Afghanistan, who have been offered the chance to compete for the right to achieve Test status.
The winners of the next Intercontintal Cup have been granted a play-off against the bottom-ranked full member, with 'promotion' to the Test elite at stake.
ICC President Alan Isaac said: "The Board has made some significant decisions today which provide us with long-term certainty in relation to the future governance, competition and financial models of the ICC.
"This decision comes after extensive discussions between Members that I helped initiate and were given impetus through a position paper presented by the BCCI, Cricket Australia and ECB in early January.
"Since this time a set of resolutions have been drafted, negotiated and modified - based on a set of principles agreed by the ICC Board on 28 January - and finalized at the meeting today. There were eight Full Members who were in a position to support the resolution today and the two who abstained have pledged to further discuss the issues with an aim to reaching unanimous approval over the coming weeks."
ICC Chief Executive David Richardson added: "We now have clear direction from the Board and it is our job to implement the approved resolution."
Cricket South Africa president Chris Nenzani described Saturday's agreement as "a work in progress".
He argued that the proposals had been modified considerably from how they were originally presented and was confident that the agreement paved the way for fully open elections from 2016 onwards.
"Nothing in life is perfect," Nenzani said.
"All countries, including the so-called 'big three', have had to rethink and make concessions and the final terms that were approved today include significant changes from the original proposals presented in January.
"It was key that we remain engaged and an absolute imperative that we should preserve the financial stability of the game over the next eight-year cycle from 2015 to 2023. Not only have we managed to do this but we have created the opportunity for current associate members to aspire to play Test cricket - the game's highest form.
"All these decisions and those still to come will help cricket to move forward with a unified sense of purpose and ensure the future of our great game."

Topic: Email from dr. Javle.
It just makes me feel good, so I wanted to share. Please don't talk to me on facebook about this. We are going to keep it under cover for right now. But i asked him if he thinks i have 5 years left and this was his reply. I just love that man.
Do you have more than 5 years? Yes, I believe this is feasible. And I want you to believe this. Anything can happen to all of us anytime..the difference in your case is you have this diagnosis. So I would take care of the possibilities especially given your young family. Knowing you, I am sure you have done this already. I have talked about liver transplant to colleagues here. That could get us to a longer survival. It depends upon the next scan. Will talk more next visit. You need to exercise, eat well and get 8 hours of sleep.
