Miller’s Fine Decorative Hardware of Jupiter Partners with The Alexis Agency to Build Brand Awareness and Recognition
JUPITER, FL, March 11, 2010 – Reputation and word of mouth are known to make or break a business. Miller’s Fine Decorative Hardware has been selling luxury bath designs, plumbing materials and architectural hardware from their Center Street location in Jupiter for more than 20 years. Vicki Findley is well known in the area for fitting homes with fine decorative hardware that adds that finishing touch.

OcuCue is the First Company to Offer Visual Analytic Solutions to Network Engineers
Posted on March 4th, 2010
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
OcuCue is the First Company to Offer Visual Analytic Solutions to Network Engineers
Network monitoring finally catches up with the growth of the Internet
Vero Beach, FL, March 2, 2010 – With the internet cloud expanding to connect almost 13 billion devices, businesses are dependent upon efficient network monitoring more now than ever. Surprisingly, technical personnel have utilized the same network monitoring approaches for more than two decades. Finally, IT engineers have a new, simple solution: OcuCue.
Unable to view details of the devices at the top level, IP network engineers have drilled down through layers of information to diagnose problems. Now OcuCue enables engineers to see details at a glance and respond promptly. Founded in 2009 as the sales agency for VisualCue Technologies’ solution in the IP networking space, OcuCue serves up fresh, detailed visual cues that reflect current conditions in a custom format. Visual cues in the form of customized icons can be updated frequently, are easy to comprehend and are universally understood. A picture is worth a thousand words, and pictures that update themselves are worth even more.
“I’ve had a lifelong interest in the visual display of quantitative information,” said OcuCue President Stuart C. Woodward. “When I was introduced to VisualCue Technologies’ visual perception innovations, it was clear to me that dramatic advances were possible.”
Visual analytics provide a new approach to help businesses streamline their activities. As the icons are self-explanatory and accessible to non-technical personnel, they can transform the way technical staff interacts with management and personnel who face customers.
“Existing monitoring solutions built for engineers leave out operating personnel and business management who are thirsty for better information,” Woodward said.
OcuCue is ideal for a variety of industries. Customized icons can be created for any application, including routers, severs, media connections, airports, fleets, networks and campuses.
“We offer IP engineers an innovative way to get more information, easier and faster,” Woodward said. “Visual icons can be understood by our clients’ customers as well, providing our clients with an additional source of revenue and incremental margin.”

Senior Resource Association’s Living Legends Event Honors Robert Harris
Posted on February 17th, 2010
VERO NEWS
Robert Harris honored with Living Legend Award
By Mary Schenkel - Feb. 16, 2010
VERO BEACH – Friends and colleagues gathered to honor Robert Harris, Managing Director of Harris, Cotherman, Jones, Price & Associates, who was presented with the Senior Resource Association Living Legend Award, at the second annual Legends Among Us reception at Quail Valley River Club. Harris was chosen as the award recipient because of his public achievements, including as Chair of the American Association of Certified Public Accountants, his professionalism and his invaluable contributions to the community through his support of non-profit organizations.
With his renowned oratory flair, John Moore quipped that he was still trying to figure out how Harris had become a “senior,” but also spoke of movingly about a lasting friendship that has transcended time, noting that what makes a legend is the way a person cares for his family and community and leads others in his profession.
Moore introduced as the award presenter, former Florida Governor and U.S. Senator Bob Graham. Earlier in the day Graham had addressed a group at the Vero Beach Book Center about his new book, America, The Owner’s Manual: Making Government Work for You.
Graham first met Harris in 1977 when Graham was beginning his Democratic gubernatorial campaign and Harris was chairman of the Indian River Republican Committee. Despite political differences, a friendship blossomed over the years and Graham complimented Harris’s outstanding service to his profession and his high standard of public ethics.
Funds raised by the event will help fund Senior Resource Association projects such as Meals on Wheels, Adult Day Care, Case Management, Information and Referral, and Community Coach.
