Situated in the middle of a bustling plaza and surrounded by apartment buildings, the concrete construction is a colossal cube monument that transforms the area. With the two cinema screens housed in the basement, the final size of the building was reduced dramatically to allow the rest of the plaza to remain filled with bars and cafes for its neighbors and passers-by.
The structure is solid and continuous, and the form, with its strict angles and straight lines, is a stunning addition to the surrounding buildings. In sharp contrast with the crumbling walls of the nearby houses, the structure is a neat grey mass that appears illuminated under sunlight.
Inside, the ground floor of the building is dominated by colored glass windows that distort the image of passers-by. It is modern and metallic, creating a sleek finish. Beyond the beauty of the contemporary design, the Filmoteca is an affordable space for the public to use, offering a creative range of movie cycles, talks and film festivals for affordable rates to library-card holders.

Food in Dry Times
page 2
We rarely saw an earthworm. Organic matter had declined, and the physical character of the soil had deteriorated. Soil granules had broken down, and there was little pore space in the soil. The soils on our farm were absorbing and retaining much less moisture from our limited rainfall. We were more vulnerable to droughts.
I remembered that almost 10 years earlier I had met a student who had served as a research assistant to an extension specialist at the University of Nebraska. The extension specialist had designed a research project to determine the effects of organic management on soil quality. The student shared some of the results: The soil in organic fields became more porous, its organic matter increased, and earthworms were present in greater abundance. Inspired by those results and the information I gleaned from soil-science classics of the first half of the 20th century, I decided to convert our farm to an organic operation.
Making such a transition in the 1970s was challenging. There were no mentors to call on for advice, and there were very few farmers in our part of the world with any experience in making such a transition. I learned how to make compost from Bob Steffen, a farmer in Nebraska. David Vetter, my former student, helped me think through crop rotation strategies. I made plenty of mistakes. But eventually, I devised a crop rotation that helped us control weeds, recycle nutrients, reduce disease, and find a niche for our crops in an emerging organic market. We began to see the quality of our soils improve.
By 1988, when we experienced one of the severest droughts on record in North Dakota, our soils were able to absorb and retain enough moisture to sustain our crops. Our fields managed to produce a 17-bushel-an-acre average yield while conventional fields around us dried up, yielding no harvest at all.
Farming in a Changed World
Despite those results, our farm, in my judgment, is still far from "sustainable," given the challenges that we are likely to see in the decades ahead.
As I see it, the key challenges we will face are to continue producing an adequate amount of healthful, nutritious food for a growing population in the face of disappearing fossil fuels, fossil water (the legacy of ice-age melting contained in our great aquifers), declining biodiversity and genetic diversity, and more unstable climates. In an effort to anticipate these challenges on our own farm in North Dakota I have tried to frame the daunting task before us into a self-evident question: Let's assume that 10 years from now crude oil will be $300 a barrel; that our planet will have only half the amount of fresh water available for food and agriculture; and that we will have twice as many severe weather events, droughts, and floods. What kind of agriculture will remain productive under those circumstances?
It is clear to me that the methods currently employed on our farm, despite the organic management practices we've instituted, still will not prepare us to meet that challenge. The farm has to be redesigned to be much more resilient under such difficult impending circumstances. What do we need to do now?
In the short run, we plan to increase the presence of perennial grasses and legumes in our crop rotations. Perennial plants are much more resilient than annuals, have much denser and deeper root systems, and do a superior job of restoring and maintaining the biological health of the soil. We will slightly shift the balance of our farm's production to raise more livestock and less grain, but we will continue our practice of not feeding any grain to our livestock. We will continue to sell our grain directly into organic markets for human consumption. Our livestock will graze on the perennial grasses during the summer and feed on the forages harvested from our legumes during the winter.
In the long run, we hope to convert annual monocultures on our farm to the perennial grains The Land Institute in Salina, Kansas, has been developing.
We will continue to rely on the "no waste" policy that we have adhered to for the past 30 years. And we plan to search out more innovative production systems based on energy exchange instead of energy inputs. We are trying to learn from creative farmers like Joel Salatin who have developed complex, synergistic systems in which the waste of one species becomes the food (energy) of another.
Finding Our Foodsheds
As much as possible, I plan to continue to be part of the larger effort to transform our food and agriculture system. I hope to champion more advances in urban agriculture, which has been evolving rapidly in recent years.
Everybody Eats
YES! Magazine Poster: How a community food system works.
Many creative farmers are developing incredibly productive, synergistic systems. Will Allen's Growing Power farm in Milwaukee is a prime example. By creating multiple synergies among species, Allen manages to "provide healthful food to 10,000 urbanites" on 3 acres of land. For example, Allen has created huge fish tanks in the center of his greenhouses that are 3 feet wide and 4 feet deep, extend the full length of the greenhouse, and are stocked with tens of thousands of perch and tilapia. Above the fish tanks Allen has installed beds of watercress. The water from the fish tanks is pumped into the watercress beds. The watercress cleanses the water for the fish, while the fish droppings provide the nutrients for the watercress.
Equally promising models of synergistic production are being developed by individual farmers in many parts of the world. These models are well-suited to community food systems where small-scale farmers have found ways to produce incredible amounts of food on limited acreage for local populations. The efficient recycling of water often plays an integral part on these farms.
As our energy-water-climate challenges impose themselves upon us, we will need to gradually embrace the concept of "foodsheds"—a concept borrowed from our knowledge of watersheds. Foodsheds are geographic areas wherein people engage in a civic exercise that determines the most sustainable food system for their region. The first priority of a foodshed is to produce as much of the food as possible by people in the foodshed for people in the foodshed; exports and imports become the second priority.
This community foodshed concept is fully compatible with the United Nations' new mandate to foster "food democracy, food justice, and food sovereignty" as the means by which global food problems can best be solved. It also is in accord with the G8 countries' recent recognition that it is a critical task to revitalize the food production capacity of local communities rather than encouraging the producing and shipping of food to such communities from other parts of the world.
How the next chapters in the story of water are written in this country and around the world will depend in large measure on how creative water use is embedded in the ecology of these new food systems.

WRX. Those three letters tell automotive enthusiasts the world over that they are not dealing with an ordinary Impreza, and it all began in rally racing with a 2.0-liter turbocharged flat-four engine. Though some models – including the current WRX and STI in the United States – had engines displacing as much as 2.5 liters, the WRX earned its reputation with 2.0 liters, and that's the displacement specified for competition use. According to Motor Trend, the 2013 WRX, which will likely debut sometime in 2012, will go back to its original engine size. The new powerplant will... Read More

In Memoriam
Philip J. Fay, Ph.D. (1953-2014)
We are very saddened to relay the passing of our colleague and friend Phil Fay, Ph.D, Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics. Phil passed away Wednesday June 25th after a long and courageous battle with cancer. His incredible strength of character through a most difficult time remains an inspiration to us all.
Calling hours were 3-6 pm Sunday June 29th at Anthony Funeral Chapel, Brighton, 2305 Monroe Ave. Rochester, NY, US, 14618. His Funeral Mass was 11 am Monday June 30th at St. Louis Church, 64 S Main St, Pittsford. Burial followed at White Haven Cemetery, 210 Marsh Road Pittsford, with a reception at the Country Club of Rochester. His Obituary can be found here.
Drs. Sriram Krishnaswamy and Peter Lollar and Y, from X and Y recently wrote a fitting tribute to our friend and colleague, Dr. Philip Fay, who passed away June 25, 2014 after a long battle with cancer. The two are researchers working in the same field as did Dr. Fay and published the tribute in Thrombosis and Haemostasis, a leading journal in the field. You can read the tribute here.
Among numerous awards and significant accomplishments in an esteemed career, Phil and research assistant professor, Hironao Wakabayashi, M.D., Ph.D. were recently nominated for the 2014 RIPLA Distinguished Inventor of the Year Award given by the Rochester Intellectual Property Law Association (RIPLA). They were nominated for their work in the field of Factor VIII technology for treatment of hemophilia A patients.
On July 8th, 2014 the flags at the University of Rochester were lowered in honor of Dr. Fay.

Fred Sherman, Ph.D. (1932-2013)
Courtesy, URMC Newsroom (Sept 18, 2013) & Rochester Democrat and Chronicle
Fred Sherman, Ph.D., an internationally recognized scientist and a faculty member at the University of Rochester Medical Center since 1962, died on September 16 at the age of 81. Sherman, who served as chair of the Department of Biochemistry and then the merged Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics from 1982 until 1999, was one of only three URMC faculty members appointed to the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.
Sherman performed groundbreaking research on the structure of genes and the effects of genetic mutations on proteins in yeast. He was also a proponent of the use of baker's yeast as a genetic model system. Research using yeast is now conducted at virtually all research centers worldwide, largely due to Sherman's efforts and his teaching of many leaders in the field.
Fred Sherman was responsible for countless scientific advancements in the field of molecular biology — and also certain anti-food fight prohibitions at a summer research institute on Long Island. Born in Minnesota, Sherman arrived in Rochester in 1962 and never left, retiring well into his sixth decade of teaching and research. He was best known for his mind but loved for his sense of humor.
His famous yeast seminar at Cold Spring Harbor on Long Island was an essential crash course for young scientists in the field — and also a time for late night dancing and enough dining room shenanigans that cream pies were ultimately stricken from the menu in an attempt to curb the culinary warfare.
He did science with a flair, said his wife and URMC colleague, Elena Rustchenko-Bulgac.
He'd always say, 'Let's dance.' And that was the thing I've wanted to do since I was a child, so it was perfect.
It's hard to overstate Fred's contribution to modern genetics. His insights into how genetic mutations affect protein coding and his foresight of the utility of the yeast system quite literally changed the course of biological research, said Jeffrey J. Hayes, Ph.D., chair of Biochemistry and Biophysics at URMC.
Beyond his scientific accomplishments, Fred's quick wit and sense of humor were legendary. It was always enjoyable to be in a room with Fred. He will be terribly missed.

William A. Bernhard, Ph.D. (1942-2012)
Courtesy, Radiation Research (175, 101-103)
Dr. William A. Bernhard, Professor of Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Rochester, and past president of the Radiation Research Society, died peacefully May 9 at his home in Mendon, NY. Dr. Bernhard was an internationally known expert on the effects of ionizing radiation on the chemical structure of DNA.
Dr. Bernhard earned his B.S. degree in Physics at Union College in 1964, and his master's and doctoral degrees in Biophysics at Penn State University in 1966 and 1968. Dr. Bernhard then received postdoctoral training at the Argonne National Laboratory from 1968–1970. He joined the faculty of Biophysics at the University of Rochester as an assistant professor in 1970 with an NIH Career Development Award. He was appointed professor of Biophysics in 1985. He served as associate chair or co-chair of the Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics from 1996 to 1998.
Dr. Bernhard was a biophysicist of the highest order, working at the forefront of understanding how radiation damages our genetic material. His unique command of both the biological and physical aspects of radiation damage earned him the respect and recognition of colleagues worldwide. The longevity of his research program, funded by the National Cancer Institute for 37 consecutive years, and the successful careers of his many trainees are testaments to the consistent high quality of his work, the high regard his peers, and his commitment to training future scientists. Bill also was a wonderful person and colleague. His kindness to his colleagues and passion for his work made him a trusted friend and ideal colleague.
His renowned research program has focused on understanding the physical and chemical processes by which radiation affects biomolecules, especially DNA. His results have helped guide industrial and government policies regarding radiation risk assessment and have provided critical details to predict the biological consequences of radiation and understand DNA damage mitigation and repair processes.
Throughout his career, Bill was committed to mentoring and developing young scientists, and he felt strongly about investing in people and their careers. Bill was the Ph.D. thesis supervisor for 14 students. He had 9 post-doctoral students, and worked with 2 research assistant professors. Many of these former co-workers have moved on to academic positions and are doing research in radiation damage studies in DNA.
Bill's contributions to radiation chemistry went beyond his published works. His presentations at meetings and conferences were always models of clarity and insight. It was impossible to attend one of his talks without learning something new. This, in a way, was also a show of respect and affection for both his colleagues and for his field of research.

Sayeeda Zain, Ph.D. (1944-2012)
Sayeeda Zain, Ph.D.
Longtime Biochemistry & Biophysics member, Sayeeda Zain, Ph.D. passed away in late November after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Sayeeda did her Ph.D. work at Glasgow University, Scotland then came to USA to work with Sherman Weissman in the Dept of Human Genetics, Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry at Yale University where she carried out some of the very earliest and pioneering nucleic acid sequencing experiments, determining the sequence of parts of the SV40 virus. She then took a position at The Cold Spring Harbor Laboratories where she collaborated with Richard Roberts' group, by applying her knowledge of sequencing to both adenovirus transcripts and and genomic DNA. Through these efforts, she co-discovered, with Louise Chow, the phenomenon of mRNA splicing. Roberts later received the Nobel Prize for this work, with Philip Sharp (Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 1993, see here for Robert's description of Sayeeda's work.
In 1978 Sayeeda took a faculty position in the Microbiology Department at the University of Rochester and later was hired into to the Biochemistry Department by Fred Sherman. Sayeeda's research program focused on eukaryotic gene expression with specific emphasis on proteins involved in Alzheimer's disease and molecular mechanisms of metastasis. She collaborated with industry as well as other leading research institutions in the US and abroad, and licensed her transgenic mice and antibodies research. She is named co-inventor on six US Patents and several foreign patents. She remained an active member of the department, teaching in Molecules-to-Cells, until last year.

Some intriguing financial news out of the Monitronics/Ascent Capital camp. Ascent Capital Group's largest direct stockholder, media mogul John Malone, recently sold half his preferred shares—worth $32.7 million in cash—back to the company, according to a news release from Ascent Capital. The divestment comes nearly three years after Ascent acquired Monitronics in a $1.2 billion deal.
Malone, who sold 351,734 shares, now owns the same number of Series B shares, plus 198,540 Series A shares, which together comprise 21.6 percent of the Ascent shareholder vote, the release noted.
In an email exchange, Henry Edmonds, president of The Edmonds Group, a St. Louis-based investment bank, indicated that the move would likely please shareholders. "Ascent has had plenty of cash on its balance sheet so this is not a bad use of funds to help stock price," he said.
It will be interesting to see what (if any) effect this has on operations at Monitronics, a wholly owned operating subsidiary of Ascent. An investor I contacted seemed to believe it would not have much effect. Yesterday, the company announced that it will report its earnings on Nov. 12, 2013. On that date, the company will host a conference call in which management will give an update on Ascent's operations, including the financial performance of Monitronics, and "may also discuss future opportunities," the release said.
In all likelihood I'll be dialing into that conference call, which I'm hoping will shed some light on what those opportunities might be.
Jay Hauhn, chief technology officer and VP of industry relations at Tyco Integrated Security, has been named president of CSAA. The announcement was made at the organization's recent annual meeting in Quebec City. Hauhn, who most recently served as vice president for the organization, assumes the role held by Robert Bean, whose term expires this year.
Hauhn is actively involved in several industry organizations. Since 2011, he has served as chairman of the board at The Security Industry Association, a role in which he has executive responsibility for all interaction with industry associations, regulatory agencies and state and federal governments. His current term as Chairman of the Board at SIA ends this year.
Hauhn also sits on the board of directors at the Security Industry Alarm Coalition, and he is chairman of the Electronic Security Association's government relations committee.
I'm scheduled to speak with Hauhn later this week about his expanded role at CSAA. In that interview, I'll discuss some of Hauhn's short- and long-term ambitions as the newly minted leader of the organization.
Prism Skylabs, a two-year-old startup founded by Ron Palmeri and 3VR's Steve Russell today announced a $15 million Series B funding round led by Intel Capital, Intel Corporations' investment and M&A business. The round included investments from Presidio Ventures, Triangle Peak, Data Collective, Expa, and some existing investors, Russell told me.
Prism Skylab is a cloud service that transforms any video camera "into visual merchandising, auditing and business intelligence tool that can be accessed in real time from any device."
"On the business side, it's hard to overstate the value of having [an investor] like Intel for a company like Prism," Russell said.
The funding round was announced today in San Diego at the 14th Annual Intel Capital Global Summit where Intel awarded a total of $65 million in funding to 16 companies.
"At this conference we are able to look at how Prism might integrate with next-gen mobile devices [as well as the possibilities, for example, of using] new techniques in a data center that will allow us to increase our performance over 100-fold."
"The core of our business is the R&D and product work we do, and we'll continue to invest in that," Russell said, but the bulk of the funds from this round will be used for sales and marketing.
Since its launch, Prism has "brought on a host of interesting first customers, the new challenge for the business is to continue to serve the large customers we've won already and to build out our sales and marketing team to expand [the customer base] even further."
Prism SkyLabs has "well north of 50 customers" that include Fortune 500 companies and well-known brands that fall into the category of "large distributed retail companies."
"We solve one or two important problems for them," Russell said. "We provide a set of data and instruments in the real world that heretofore you could only get for online properties. … The other value we provide is allowing global brands to peek in and better manage their stores," he added.
"It's the analytic and visual [capabilities] that are really the secret sauce," he said.
Prism now has about 30 employees and Russell expects to double the size of the company within the next 12 months.
Prism raised $7.5 million in funding in October 2012.
"Intel Capital has long been known as a hands-on investor," Russell said. Among the ways the investor will assist Prism include "providing networking and matchmaking [among] its truly vast portfolio [of partners]."
The Intel Summit "[has] been an incredibly productive and fun three days for us," he said.
Timothy McGinn and David L. Smith, former partners in the Albany, N.Y.-based brokerage firm of McGinn, Smith & Co., which conducted dealings in the alarm industry, will serve out their fraud sentences in the same penitentiary, according to a recent Albany Business Review report.
I wrote here in August about their sentencing, after the two were convicted earlier this year of fraud, conspiracy and tax evasion in a Ponzi-like scheme that caused investors to lose millions. A judge called 65-year-old McGinn "arrogant" and sentenced him to 15 years in prison. Smith, 68, convicted of fewer counts than McGinn, received a 10-year sentence.
Now, the Albany Business Review reports, the two are both in the same prison in Brooklyn, N.Y. Here's more from the Oct. 17 article:
The federal Bureau of Prisons says both men are now at the Metropolitan Detention Center, in Brooklyn.
Prosecutors say as many as 900 investors lost money. …
Attorneys for McGinn and Smith originally believed the two would wind up in different prisons. Smith had requested to remain fairly close to his family, who live in Saratoga Springs.
Attorneys say that McGinn, meanwhile, needs special medical attention for his diabetes, and residual concerns resulting from a heart attack in 2010, months after the FBI and IRS and the Securities and Exchange Commission began probing the McGinn-Smith operations.

The two pleaded not guilty to the charges they faced, and maintained their innocence when testifying at trial. They are preparing an appeal, which may not be heard for several years.
A recent post on Honeywell's The Security Channel blog caught my eye because it refutes the notion that only large companies can reap the benefits of being integrators. That's not the case, says Jason Lutz, business development manager, First Alert Professional and CSS, in his post this week titled "Simple Integrations Can Lead to Increased RMR."
Here's what he says in his intriguing intro: "There are few things that can make some dealers cringe more than when I begin to talk about integrating systems. Many dealers think they are too small to do integrated systems or that integrating systems can be too complicated or even that there isn't enough Recurring Monthly Revenue (RMR) and therefore it's not worth the hassle. Before I go further, let's clarify what an integrated system is and how much money you are leaving on the table by not offering it."
He goes on to explain that "an integrated system can be as simple as two separate systems working together to satisfy a client's need."
Then he asks: "Are your current or potential clients expressing needs like these?*Can you set up my cameras to only record when my system is armed?*Can you make the cameras record only when I have an alarm?*Can you let me know when my DVR has a loss of video, loses its connection to the Internet or the hard drive has reached full capacity?"
Lutz goes on to explain how even a small security provider can answer such needs—benefiting both clients and the provider. Check out his post.
The editorial mission of Security Systems News is distinct from other publications in the security industry. We focus on breaking business news (as opposed to products, how-to information or case studies). More specifically, we focus on writing stories that will help our readers make good decisions about their businesses.
In our November issue, we will dedicate one story in each section of our publication—Commercial and Systems Integration; Fire Installation; Monitoring; Residential; and Suppliers—to a woman leader in security. In addition, two women leaders—a consultant and a legislative expert—are profiled in our General News section. Those profiles will also be online this week.
This year, we interviewed Terry Basford of 4b Technology, Elizabeth Hunger of SIA, Karen Head of Kratos PSS, Jennifer Jezek of York Electronic Systems, Betsy Francis of AT&T, Elle Daley of COPS Monitoring and Deb Spitler of HID.
It's our annual Women in Security special report. This is the fifth year in row that we've compiled this report. We don't go through a formal nominating process, so this is not a vote-driven selection. Rather, we ask our readers to send in nominations and then Tess, Leif and I decide who we'd like to profile. I'm happy to tell you that we get more and more nominations every year. It seems like it's not as difficult to find women leaders in all sectors of security as it was five years ago. The women who were nominated but were not chosen this year will, in many cases, be interviewed for SSN news articles in the future.
While the women profiled all have unique stories, there's one noticeable common thread. They love their work and they're making a difference in their respective workplaces. That's the good news.
The not-so-good news is that we still hear about how women are "tested" in the boardroom or field because men assume they don't understand technology, and we still see a paucity of women in the industry—across all sectors.
Read through the profiles in our Women in Security special report and you'll notice how well this special report aligns with Security Systems News' editorial goal of helping you make good decisions about your business.
There are plenty of studies that show that there's a correlation between the presence of women in a company's boardroom and profitability. Time after time, studies reveal that companies that have a higher percentage of women executives also have higher corporate profitability on average. Period. Here's a good story about those studies.
Of course, it's difficult to prove causation—to show that the reason one company is profitable is because it hires more women executives.
However, ponder that correlation as you read through this year's profiles. We believe this industry can use more people like HID's Deb Spitler, Kratos' Karen Head and the others profiled here.
Hiring smart, ambitious people is a good business move. Making the extra effort to hire a few smart, ambitious women, may prove to be an even better move for your business.
A few developments surfaced today out of the SecureNet Technologies camp. The Longwood, Fla.-based company, which provides video monitoring services and interactive home features, announced the launch of the SecureNet platform, a system that gives alarm providers a cloud-based management service.
The system is designed to increase the speed of alarm responses while improving their accuracy by eliminating errors caused by traditional notes-based dispatching systems, the company noted in a news release.
As we continue to see, there are several benefits for central stations who deploy a cloud-based platform. First off, it improves redundancy in the event of outages or natural disasters. It also reduces the man hours required for continual technological upgrades. Interestingly enough, while SecureNet's platform is clearly moving with the hosted solution wave, it is also offered as a traditional on-site service.
The other piece of news, less of a strictly monitoring nature, is that SecureNet has joined the Z-Wave Alliance, a group of technology companies that design wireless home control products based on the Z-wave wireless communications standard.
SecureNet's Interactive Gateway Modules, a line of hardware devices that integrate with the with alarm panels, is designed primarily for its adaptability to home management services. The devices use Z-wave technology to control and communicate with interactive video monitoring, access controls, as well as an array of home automation features.
In the coming days I'll be following up with SecureNet to get a closer view of these latest developments.
I've written before about how telecoms, cablecos and professional security companies, large and small, are now selling their security/home automation products in a retail environment. Those companies include Comcast, Verizon Wireless, Security Options, The Alarm Company and SecureWatch 24. Now add Link Home Security to the list.
Link, which bills itself as "the leader in do-it-yourself (DIY) wireless security systems," is now offering a DIY home security/energy/video surveillance package through Costco, the national online retailer. It's a deluxe package with all the desirable home automation features homeowners have been hearing about—and it includes professional monitoring.
Ogden, Utah-based Link describes its Premium Plus Video Package by saying to customers it "puts you in control of your security, home automation and remote video monitoring and gives you the convenience of premium 'advanced interactive' services managed from your smartphone or secure internet login. The cellular, color touch screen panel does not require a phone line and is Z-Wave(R) enabled—allowing you to add security, safety, energy management and camera components to your system at any time."
Link said it is offering monitoring for $34.99, which " includes remote video monitoring and recording plus services like fire monitoring and remote accessibility that you won't find anywhere else. Z-Wave operability is no additional cost. … Cellular signal and 2-way voice communication in emergencies is included as part of the service."
It said other features of the premium service will allow customers "to augment your existing smoke detectors with a 3-in-1 smoke/heat/freeze sensor (included) that is continually monitored by our UL Listed and 5-Diamond rated central station. The door/window and motion sensors come custom-programmed with the locations you specify, such as "Front Door" or "Master Bedroom Window". Our Z-Wave programmable thermostat (included) offers a "Smart Schedule" that utilizes the other components in your system to recognize activity and usage in the home or business and recommend energy saving HVAC schedules. The two Z-Wave LDM Light/Appliance Modules (included) plug into a standard outlet to control lighting and small appliances. Both the thermostat and light/appliance modules are remotely accessible from a smartphone or secure internet connection so lighting and temperature can be adjusted while away. The HD100 Indoor Camera (included) is easy to install and gives you the peace of mind of being able to keep an eye on the activity in your home or office, observe a live feed in case of an alarm event, or review past video footage at your convenience. The HD100 delivers a high resolution video with infrared "night vision" capability."
This offering clearly shows that DIY is going beyond simple to incorporate the next level of technology.
As I encounter new theories and projections about PERS valuations, I continue to find a refreshing lack of consensus among the experts. That's not to say there aren't areas of agreement. There are. Those watching the market often cite similar determinants of valuation, such as attrition rates, cash flow and the costs of creating new accounts. But experts seldom invest the same metrics with equal importance.
For example, Barry Epstein, president of Dallas-based Vertex Capital, believes reducing attrition rates to be a critical component of increasing PERS valuations. Conversely, Mark Sandler, a principal with SPP Advisors, downplayed the importance of churn, saying instead that a company's value hinges more on how efficiently they can redeploy their units.
Today I came across a presentation on PERS valuations delivered by Henry Edmonds, president of The Edmonds Group, at the Medical Alert Monitoring Association conference held last week in Orlando. Edmonds' insights reflect another nuanced interpretation of the market. In the presentation, he boiled PERS valuations down to four key metrics: cash flow; churn (attrition rate); growth rate/new account volume; and creation cost.
Just as vital for maximizing value is the ability of dealers to compile solid data on these metrics, Edmonds noted in one of the slides.
Edmonds developed some pretty in-depth calculations that he believes dealers should be cognizant of. For instance, churn rate metrics should account for total lost RMR on a trailing 12-month or trailing six-month basis. That figure should then be divided by average outstanding RMR. With respect to the cash flow, Edmonds advises dealers to focus on adjusted EBITDA and steady state free cash flow.
Edmonds' presentation also offered a trove of information about buyers. He noted that buyers will create finance models for target companies, develop key assumptions based on a target company's past performance and determine a capital structure based on current market conditions.
Edmonds also provided the following aphorism: "Buyers never pay more than they think they have to."
In the coming weeks I plan to speak with Henry Edmonds himself to get a more in-depth take on PERS valuations and the state of the market in general. Stay tuned.
The research group IHS believes—as others have predicted—that the penetration rate of home security systems in North America will rise in the next few years.
That rate has been stuck at 20 percent for the past couple of decades, but many have predicted that the "new entrants" into the industry, cablecos and telecoms, through their advertising and other efforts—will help finally move the needle on that particular statistic. IHS has jumped on that bandwagon in is its newly released report, "The World Maker for Intruder Alarms–2013 Edition."
In a news release, IHS says that there is "realistic momentum with the growing trend to combine home automation and home security systems, on a single platform."
The report says that "the residential sector accounted for 40.7 percent of the $2.7 billion global intruder alarm market in 2012, and is forecast to be one of the fastest-growing verticals with a five-year compound annual growth rate of 5.3 percent from 2012 to 2017."
In a statement, Adi Pavlovic, analyst for access control, fire and security at IHS "Home-management integration is gaining the most popularity in North America, which will increase the penetration rate of intruder alarm products into the residential sector. Europe also may not be too far behind, as energy-management features are making their way into more homes every year. Deployment in Asia, however, is expected to be the slowest due to its large multifamily-apartment culture and the absence of professional monitoring services."
The story is different on the commercial side, according to IHS. "While the trend to integration is becoming popular in single-family homes, its progress in the commercial sector continues to be slow." The research group blames the "lack of unified legislation across each technology platform" for the stagnation it sees in the commercial side, noting that regions "with more lenient regulations, such as the Middle East, benefit from having the opportunity to integrate multiple systems into a single solution. Such an approach is not only more convenient, but also saves time and lowers costs by working with just one installer."
IHS advises manufacturers "interested in integrated solutions should continue to focus on the residential market while integration in commercial applications remains sluggish, as the industry as a whole awaits standardization."
